Yeah, it seems like that for all elected officials that are sort of the final judgment for them, whether or not they get reelected. I know Senator Loeffler said that she has all of her investments in a blind fund and she doesn't even get a report of them until weeks later. Also, when you think about how much the market had gone up 5,000 points over the last three years or so or more than that, you know, it's probably, some would say they sold because they felt like it was time to take profits, right? Yeah. You can make those cases. Listen, people are talking about the pandemic in January. Donald Trump was asked point blank by CNBC about it in January. That's true. I will see this stuff and people think government officials are exempt from insider trading. They are not. If you trade-off material nonpublic information that's stolen from shareholders and you are a government official, you can go to jail and be convicted and all of that.

This type of information, a private briefing by Dr. Fauci - that is not insider trading. The only way that could be insider trading is if you had a criminal conspiracy with Dr. Fauci where you paid him money to give that you information, which obviously did not happen here. This is not insider trading. But, listen, it's sleazy on a lot of levels. Kelly Loeffler's husband is Jeffrey Sprecher who owns the New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange did not shut the floor of the stock exchange - they are not shutting until Monday after a huge outcry. You would think if she knew there was something really bad going on with this virus she might have told Mr. Sprecher and he might have shut that floor earlier where two people were infected. So that's where I think we should be asking the questions more than whether this is insider trading. Charlie, always good to see you thank you very much. Thanks for being here tonight. You too.
