| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Tom and Bill U show live. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm excited you guys are joining us today of all days. May the fourth be with you all. |
| 0:11.1 | I absolutely am a total psychopath for Star Wars. We've got a little treat for you guys coming |
| 0:16.0 | up in a little while. But first, let's get through everything that is going on in the world. |
| 0:20.7 | Trump is attempting what he calls a humanitarian effort to get ships through the |

| 1:28.8 | Warren Buffett said at his most recent shareholder meeting |
