From deep inside your radio, well Adrian is giving me the thumbs up so I can't blame him. It's now on me. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a Labor Day weekend when you where you are, not where I am. But more about that in a moment, it's Labor Day weekend where you are. And for the first time in the memory of most people alive in the United States, there's a certain void on the television screen, not the usual void, not the usual multi-channel void. I'm talking about a particular void, an absence, a vacuum, a place where a thing used to be, and that thing was for, as I say, five decades, a telethon. Now explain to the kids, it's like a marathon, except it's on television without people running. It's just a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long television show.
There used to be a lot of them for raising money for all sorts of elements and conditions. But the lone survivor in so many ways was what became known in the 1970s as the Jerry Lewis telethon. And it was always held on Labor Day so that, you know, the fact that the holiday was originally designed to pay tribute to the rapidly disintegrating labor movement could be ignored for another year. Now Jerry Lewis started his career pretty much at the top. He exploded onto the scene as part of perhaps the most successful comedy team in the history of show business as a brash young kid who basically behaved like a monkey. And as time goes on, even then, he would suddenly turn serious when it came time to talk about this disease, which he would never explain for the entirety of his career so far, why
he became involved with his particular cause. But involved he did become, started this telethon in New York City, continued it in Los Angeles and then in Las Vegas, and devoted an increasing amount of his time and energy to it as his career went on. He directed his movies and then stopped directing his movies and then there was the telethon. Much of this you know, and a lot of it we talked about at this time last year on this broadcast. So what happened last year? It was announced in July that it would be the last time Jerry announced it. Oh, I should say, ladies and gentlemen, I speak about all of this, not as either a diehard fan or a total critic, a little bit of kind of a mixture, an ad mixture. I wrote a long magazine article about the telethon, which was up on my website for
a while. It may still be there. I don't know. It's on an all new website. Wow. And it took almost as long as building the pyramids, but it's there now anyway. Last year, Jerry Lewis had a press conference in July in Los Angeles announced that it was going to be his last telethon. The last time he would sing, he'll never walk alone and all of that. And then a few days later, the charity, the muscular dystrophy association, by the way, this was a disease that until Jerry Lewis began fighting it had been relatively obscure numerically quite rare. And as it was discovered somewhat later, hereditary, which tells you that there is a way to wipe it out. Anyway, a few days later, the muscular dystrophy association announced Jerry Lewis was stepping down as chairman and would not be hosting the telethon and would not be singing them
a long, a long and the telethon went on the air last year. And the now, this is what we haven't discussed yet on this broadcast. The charity announced that they've made as much money last year without Jerry in a shorter telethon as they did the year before with him. Now today, Roger Friedman on his website showed his 401 reports. That wasn't true. The charity was only able to collect 31 million of its much publicized 61 million about half. Now he says he goes on to say something I didn't know, maybe you didn't know, according to the muscular dystrophy, the tote baller total never was what it actually brazed. So that in 2010, MDA crowed about 58 million at the end of the telethon, 48 million came in.
In 2009, a shortfall was about 15 million. So the tote board was never anyway, you get that. But what nobody's reporting on is what happened? Why the guy who built this obscure thing charity into a multi billion dollar operation was suddenly tossed to the curb unceremoniously. And there was even, I don't know if I mentioned this last year, a great deal of debate backstage as to whether to mention Jerry at all or to pay tribute to him on the rumptelethon they held last year. So my point is simply this, there are a lot of so-called entertainment reporters buzzing around Hollywood looking for the next drop of public relations nectar doled out by the publicity machine might one of them be curious enough to find out what happened. There was an article in Time Magazine a couple of weeks ago that said, well, we called
Jerry, he had no comment and we call them MDA and they had no comment, which is, well, I guess the fairest way of describing that is two phone call journalism. So is there anybody in Hollywood or around the entertainment business who has the endurance to make more than two calls to find out why this happened? What could he have done? Ladies and gentlemen, I mean, one can speculate, one can suspect, but what could he have done to get tossed to the curb that way by the organization he, whether you like that or not, put on the map. We'll await further developments from the Hollywood journalism community. Hello, welcome to the show. From London, England, home of the Paralympics, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Harry Shira,
welcoming you to this edition of the show. I never heard the cast in that on that recording before, but that's what happens when you wear big clunky headphones on your head on your head, ain't it? And now ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to read the trades for you. From current trade magazine of public broadcasting, insistent sponsors put newsrooms on alert. What? Don't worry. I'll read it for you. Underwriters of public radio programs increasingly want to link their names more closely to particular stories and reporting projects, according to station executives, a trend that is requiring
journalists to be more vigilant in fighting perceptions of potential conflicts of interest. These perceptions, just potential. Several factors are fueling the trend that we economy has left underwriters with tighter budgets prompting them to seek more bang for their buck. At the same time, public radio gains in audience and stature have given underwriters access to more listeners and website visitors and they want to maximize their marketing exposure. Years ago, sponsors saw public radio as an alternative to commercial media and their underwriting of it as philanthropy says, Sam Fleming at Boston's WBUR with this show is not heard.
Now they're less willing to give money to public radio for a good cause, he says. They want to be very specific about what they want to be associated with. WBUR recently dealt with a hospital that wanted to buy underwriting and ask for a direct role in the editorial process in exchange, Fleming said. It was alarming because we'd never heard anything like this before, he said. Much practices do occur in commercial media, really, and create an expectation among underwriters that public stations could be amenable to similar arrangements, he said. The new mindset among underwriters does make it much harder when you're trying to fund journalism to meet the donor's needs without crossing the firewall. That Robin Turnau, president of Vermont Public Radio, VPR has established a journalism fund that allows individual donors to support various projects without granting them direct
links to any one initiative. It potentially dice your arrangement can be seen in the Pacific Northwest where Earth Fix receives underwriting support from several sponsors who are active with the environmental issues it covers. As we get into doing these more topical types of coverage, the reality is that the people who want to underwrite those have an interest in that topic, says Morgan Holm, VP for News and Public Affairs at Oregon Public Broadcasting. They're looking for the shortest path between our audience and their interests, unquote. Underwriters desire for tighter ties with public radio programming is also evident in national programming, causing tension between NPR and stations. Station leaders questioned NPR's decision last year to sell more embedded underwriting,
underwriting credits that air directly adjacent to stories within news programs rather than the end of program segments where most credits air. The network had been selling embedded underwriting for sometimes story core segments, business stories on morning edition, and NPR's all things considered, and your health features all carry adjacent sponsorship messages. NPR credits for Ally Bank, an exclusive underwriter of Planet Money, have run adjacent to financial reporting segments. For three years, the deal prompted enough criticism from listeners when it was announced that then NPR Ombudsman wrote a December 2009 column on the issue. Ethics expert Bob Steele told the Ombudsman that Ally Bank's support raises the question quote of whether this particular bank is getting a special deal for whatever reason.
NPR announcing its plan to sell more embedded underwriting last December prompted objections from stations. Board members worried the spots would threaten public radio's non-commercial sound and give listeners the impression that sponsors were influencing content. NPR executives joined station board members at a retreat in January to discuss the matter and had a pretty frank hour and a half discussion. Afterwards NPR reported that it would not pursue its plan for additional embedded underwriting quote until we were all able to make the time to sit down and talk through the many pressure points affecting sponsorship. Some station-based journalists have expressed concerns about the precedent, the national
embedded underwriting arrangements have set for local underwriters. Quote, once the camel gets its nose into the tent, it doesn't matter anymore, said the news director at WNPR in Connecticut, could give the camel a nose job, an absurd idea that occurs to me only because I read the trades for you, copyrighted feature of this broad cast. And now ladies gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present Let Us Try, a valid of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Well, you don't need me to tell you what happened in South Eastern Louisiana this week.
The effects of Hurricane Isaac are still being felt in New Orleans where I think at the present time about 75% of people may still be without electricity. Can you hear me? And in the neighboring communities, which ironically were the places to which people fled at the time of the 2005 flood, now became places that were more flooded, more disastrously flooded than the city itself, and there is a still concern north of New Orleans along several of the rivers. But the dominant message in the media is New Orleans did okay, and the Corps of Engineers did good, that is to say did well.
As a matter of fact, a columnist in today's times pick you, yeah, they still come out on Sunday, made a special point of saluting the Corps of Engineers. So let's take a moment. Let us try in the parlance of the Corps of Engineers to look at that more analytically, perhaps. And I'm going to go back a little bit to just give you a little background because that's where the background is, back the three canals that like three fingers, like Mordecai three finger brown, poke into the center of New Orleans, were put there quite a while ago for one purpose to drain rainfall from the city and to eventually dump it into the adjacent Lake Pontchartrain.
And the city has very effective pumps, the pumps are so good that when the Dutch had a huge disastrous flood in 1953, one of the places they went to to study was New Orleans, study the pumps. So when the Corps of Engineers in the wake of the disastrous 2005 flood was told by Congress, do it again, better, here's 14 billion dollars. The attention was focused momentarily on those three canals because it was the flood walls lining those canals, which had catastrophically failed due to construction and design flaws according to two independent investigations, you hopefully know some of this stuff. Well as part of the 14 billion dollar redo, the only parts of those walls that were fixed were the parts that had breached collapsed, which is 5% of those walls, then other 95% were left as is why because the Corps now decided we're never going to let the stormwater
in in the first place to put the pressure on those walls. We are going to build a perimeter defense that keeps the water trapped away from those canals. And so they did. So they went when hurricane approaches, they close gates between the lake and the canals so that water cannot go back and forth between them. Well what happens if it rains during a hurricane? Ah, there are pumps next to the gates, which will pump the rain water out of the canals and to make sure because these flood walls have never been fixed, the Corps of Engineers set a new low safe water level in those canals. Much lower. I think in one of the canals with a 12 foot high wall, the safe water level is 4 feet. So those pumps are pretty important. And if you saw the big uneasy or heard the interview with Maria Garzino, the whistleblower
from inside the Corps on this broadcast a few years ago, you know that there is thanks to her serious doubt about the efficiency and effectiveness of at least some of those pumps, the hydraulic pumps that are near those flood walls at those gates. So what happened this time? Well we have some reporting from the time Spicium. The Corps was not able to remotely start some of the pumps that move water over the flood gates into Lake Pontchertrain at the 17th Street Canal, one of the three canals. Engineers were able to start the pumps manually, but because of the rainfall, this is the wording of the time Spicium, the water piled up inside the canal a little higher than the Corps would like to see and is currently between six and six and a half feet unquote. So the safe water level above which these catastrophically defective flood walls would possibly catastrophically fail, that safe water level is translated into, you know, what the
Corps would like to see, nice. Two of the pumps on another canal were out of commission at this point in time, and another report in the time Spicium said the Corps said that the, well that's common. The pumps are out of commission, really, $14 billion ladies and gentlemen and the pumps are out of, you know, it's common that they're out of commission. But this takes, do you have cake, because this is going to take it, how the defenses went at those canals, there were the Corps of Engineers put online the readings, supposedly real time readings from the gauges at each of those, at different points along each of those canals to tell you where the, where the, where the water level was at any particular point in time during the storm, but they stopped working at a certain point.
Stop reporting. Part of the problem now, these are the words of the Times Spicium, yes, they're still publishing. Part of the problem in assessing the situation is that many of the gauges at major flood defenses around the area have been wacky during the storm. And readings often don't match what core officials staying at the various flood control structures can see. Well, if they're, if they're eyeballing is so good, I guess we don't need gauges. Maybe that's the point. What do you see, Colonel? Looks good from here. Now I, I engaged in a Twitter conversation, ladies and gentlemen, with a major media reporter who's done some good work on this whole story. And he said, well, you know, they basically, after some backing and forething, his, the strongest statement he would make was, yep, they need better gauges.
Now, again, you and I have spent $14 billion so far on this new hurricane risk reduction system. And the gauges don't work and you can't remote start the pumps and that's common for the pumps to be out. And that's, that's rated as a good job because they tried. This is Lucio from London and the EverVigilent Pam Hallstead reports that indeed, the Jerry Lewis-Telathon article is visible on the brand new HarryShare.com at View More Posts. That settles that.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the apologies of the week. The magic of live radio, the Imor, this is from Archbishop Desmond Tutu writing in the observer newspaper today here in London, quote, the immorality of the United States and Great Britain's decision to evade Iraq in 2003, premised on the lie that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history. I did not deem it appropriate to have a discussion at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in Johannesburg last week with Tony Blair. As the day drew nearer, I felt an increasingly profound sense of discomfort about attending a summit on leadership with Mr. Blair. I extend my humblest and sincerest apologies to the summit organizers, the speakers and delegates, for the lateness of my decision, not to attend, unquote. The manufacturer of Salidamide has apologized to the thousands of people born with disabilities
as a result of their mothers taking the drug, Harold Stock, Chief Executive of German Pharmaceutical Company, Grunenthal, said it was very sorry it had remained silent on the issue for about five decades. The drug was sold as a cure for morning sickness, spoke, spoke, story, stock spoke as he unveiled a bronze statue symbolizing a child born without limbs because of Salidamide. We ask for forgiveness that for nearly 50 years we didn't find the way of reaching out to you from human being to human being, he said, it's a ceremony. We ask that you regard our long silence as a sign of the shock that your fate caused in us. By the time the drug was pulled from the market in 1961, more than 10,000 babies worldwide had been born with a range of disabilities caused by the drug. Many shortened arms and legs, blindness, deafness, heart problems, and brain damage. Some of those survivors rejected with their own shock at the lateness of the apology.
Deadline New York, a New York priest, says he deeply regrets if he heard anyone by his comments that priests accused of child sex abuse are often seduced by their accusers and that a first-time offender should not go to jail. The Reverend Benedict Greschel of the Franciscan Friars apologized Thursday for the comments he made in an interview with a National Catholic Register. The publication removed the story from its website and posted an apology for publishing the comments. Greschel and the Friars, not the show business Friars, did as well. I did not intend to blame the victim. A priest who abuses a minor is always wrong and is always responsibly said, my mind and my way of expressing myself are not as clear as they used to be. I spent my life trying to help others the best I could. I deeply regret any harm I could have caused to anyone. The Friars expressed regret for the remarks and highlighted Greschel's medical history. They said he'd been in a car accident several years ago and in recent months his health memory and cognitive ability have been falling.
They described the comments as out of character. He'll be studying his own character to see how to get closer to it. Dateline Washington, Yahoo News Bureau Chief David Chelyan was fired this week after a hot microphone incident during an online broadcast from the GOP convention. During the broadcast Chelyan could be heard saying that the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife were, quote, not concerned at all, quote, happy to have a party with black people drowning. Unquote, he seemed to be referring to the simultaneity of the convention and hurricane Isaac in New Orleans. Apparently also oblivious to the fact that there are more than black people living in New Orleans. A Yahoo spokesperson released a statement regarding the company's decision to fire Chelyan effective immediately. Says Yahoo, we have reached out to the Romney campaign and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended. Chelyan released an apology himself. He wrote he was profoundly sorry and described his statement as an inappropriate and
thoughtless joke. He also apologized privately and publicly to the Romney campaign. Leave the humor to professionals. The New York Times reporter caught passing a Maureen Dowd column to a CIA source apologize for his actions this week, calling them a mistake. Mark Mazzetti's name appeared in a batch of files released by a conservative watchdog group. He was found to have emailed back and forth with a CIA spokeswoman about an upcoming column of doubts. Mazzetti passed the column along to show the woman that she had nothing to fear from the column, writing, this didn't come from me and pleased to lead after you read. See nothing to worry about. The Times had a somewhat schizophrenic reaction after other journalists criticized Mazzetti for the column and for doing that, releasing it to the CIA, accused him of being too cozy with the CIA sources, managing editor Dean Bakke and executive editor Jill Abramson both backed up their journalist. But Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for the
Times said Mazzetti had made a mistake that was inconsistent with the paper standards. It was definitely a mistake. Mazzetti said, I have done it. I've never done it before and I will never do it again. Another journalism apology, ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, the news corporation owned Sunday times. These are nice people, nice people doing nice things, nice corporation. Times apologized for putting a speech bubble over a photo of a man holding the Olympic torch after the man complained to the press complaints commission that was misleading. The Times, according to a website called Mediaethics.org, check this verb, ladies and gentlemen, the Times unpublished the photo. How do you do that? Boy, the technology at the at Rubber Murdoch's disposal is awesome. They also ran on apology. Quote, Rod Little's column included a photograph of Wayne Jenkins, a prominent sports fundraiser holding the Olympic torch, a bubble
from his mouth. For the words, actually, I'm looking for eBay humorous reference to a news story. Mr. Jenkins was not identified. There was no intention to suggest he really intended to sell the torch, but it has caused him embarrassment and distress for which we apologize. Leave the humor. Carl Rove, a former advisor to President George Bush, a now head of the conservative Super PAC American Crossroads apologized to representative Todd Akin of Missouri after a reporter published biting words, Rove used to describe the embattled Missouri Senate candidate famous for legitimate rape comments. Quote, we should sink Todd Akin. If he's found mysteriously murdered, don't look for my whereabouts. Rove said Thursday at a private fundraiser according to a business week reporter who wasn't supposed to be there. An advisor to Akin said the congressman received an acceptance apology from Rove by telephone after the statements were reported by multiple news outlets. But said the spokesman because Carl has maliciously and disgracefully attempted to ruin Carl Todd's solid reputation as a public servant, he, Carl, should follow Todd's
example and make his own contrition public. Mention of the word contrition reminds me of you know I'm not going to say it on the radio, but if you have a spare Google moment, look up former Nixon press secretary Ron Ziegler's description of contrition. It was the first time the Los Angeles Times ever published this particular salty word. Deadline Oslo Norway Norwegian Prime Minister Stoltenberg apologized for flaws in the response to last year's bomb and gun rampage by Anders Bravik. And he pledged sweeping measures to improve terror preparedness. He says government is adopting an emergency plan to deal with crises, including a new emergency response center, improving cooperation between rescue teams and a quicker flow of information between officials. We hear that about everything these days. Katrina Fukushima this more quicker flow of information between officials. These damn officials don't they don't let the information flow.
The Madonna Madonna has finally apologized to her australian fans for canceling her 2012 tour. Second time she's done that she hasn't been there in 20 years. Oh, this time the singer is once again cited commitments to her four children. As a reason why she will no longer extend the world tour to Australia with an apologetic audio message on her website. She acknowledged the anger coming from her Oz fans. I'm really sorry and truly sorry. Really and truly sorry to have disappointed you. The 50 says here your old singer said that's something I don't feel very good about. And the last time I was on tour in Miss Australia as well, I can promise you in my heart of hearts it was my intention to come again, but like the last time my children are my first priority. She's been on tour for seven months so far. When I guess the children fed it for themselves. All right, we've heard about her heart or hearts. I remain curious about what's going on in her
spleen of spleens. Dave Lyne Estonia, an Estonian gas company apologized for using a photo of Auschwitz in its advertising the website of Gastterm SD published a photograph of the front gate of the Nazi death camp with a famous inscription work makes you free. The caption read gas heating flexible convenient and effective. The next day the photo was removed from the site. See if it had been rupert. He would have just unpublished it and an apology was posted. I don't even read the rest of this. The apologies of the week latest gentleman a copyrighted feature of this broadcast. Well, okay, the Republican convention saw a little bit. Clint Eastwood gave improv a bad name. You know, you really do have to work out of babe. It's like me being an action hero. I wouldn't just start doing it live on TV. But and the bar in the bar stool as the empty bar stool as a chair was a nice touch.
But my attention was riveted on the appearance by the night before by Condoleezza Rice who's back in the spotlight apparently. Although she did seem to have some memory lapses in her address, but it was a heartwarming tale, an only in America tale of how a young girl from the segregated south could overcome. Well, anybody in the United States can overcome those kinds of obstacles to grow up to become a war criminal. Now, she could didn't really have, as I say, a very clear memory of that last 10 years, the 10 years that Bishop Tutu remembers so clearly. So I thought to help her out from my new album can't take a hint here are Alice Russell and Tommy Malone with a little history. And now it is gentlemen, news of the warm, watch it? Come on.
In a paper published this week in the journal Polar Biology, I read it for the ads, researchers from the Antarctic site inventory confirmed significant declines in the breeding population of chin strap penguins in the vastly warming Antarctic peninsula. It's warming there faster or the faster than or as fast as any other place on earth. New results in analyses stemmed from field work conducted last December at Deception Island. If that's not a movie,
I don't know what is one of the most frequently visited locations in Antarctica. These census efforts have been collecting and analyzing Antarctic peninsula wide penguin population data since 1994. These new findings have important implications for the management of Antarctica. Yeah, that's what it needs. Management. The Antarctic ice sheet could be an overlooked but important source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas according to a report in the August issue, August 30 issue of nature by an international team of scientists. The new study demonstrates that old organic matter in the sedimentary basins located beneath the Antarctic ice sheet may have been converted to methane by microorganisms living under oxygen-deprived conditions. The methane could be released to the atmosphere if and when the ice sheet shrinks and exposes these old sedimentary basins. I mean, we shouldn't have that then. I'll make a couple calls. Co-author Slavic Toulacic, Professor of Earth and planetary
sciences at UC Santa Cruz of the project. Got its start while he was on sabbatical. It's easy to forget that before 35 million years ago, when the current period of Antarctic glaciation started, the continent was teaming with life. Some of the organic material produced by this life became trapped in sediments, which were then caught off from the rest of the world when the ice sheet grew. Microbes may have turned this old organic carbon into methane. 50% of the West Antarctic ice sheet and 25% of the East ice sheet contain about 21 billion metric tons of organic carbon. Seems to put our stuff into perspective. It costs analysis of the technologies needed to transport materials into the stratosphere to reduce the amount of sunlight hitting Earth and therefore reduce the efforts effective global climate change has shown they are both feasible and affordable. Now the question is sensible. Arctic sea ice has melted to a record low confirming experts fears
about the impact of climate change on the planet from, according to the Scotsman newspaper, figures published from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in the United States reveal that sea ice in the Arctic has dropped to its lowest level since satellite recordings started 30 years ago. The sixth year in a row that a new record low has been recorded following consecutively worsening melts first identified in 2007. There is now 40% less sea ice in the polar region than the average levels recorded between 1979 and 2000. With melting seasons still not over concerns are growing that in a few years there will be no summer sea ice at all. So make your vacation plans for the Arctic now, ladies and gentlemen, and now news of the atom. Save to meet. Save to meet. Save to meet. Save to meet. Save to meet. Save to meet. You know what, Addy? You're not going to like this, but we're going to postpone that to next week
because we got some news from outside the bubble we have to get to. All right. I'll just go spin my electrons. The European Union is spending millions of pounds developing or well-earned technologies designed to scour the internet for quote abnormal behavior. This is reported by the British newspaper The Telegraph, a five-year research program called Project Indect aims to develop computer programs which act as agents. Man, I had an agent like that once to monitor and process information from websites, discussion forums, file servers, peer-to-peer networks, and even individual computers. Its main objectives include quote the automatic detection of threats and abnormal behavior. You have been warned. Security researchers have uncovered privacy shortcomings in the mobile applications offered by both the Barack Obama and Mitt Romney presidential campaigns reports the register, the British technology website. The campaigns of the incumbent U.S. President and his challenger have each released apps, experts at GFI,
software looked at the Android versions of both discovering both to be surprisingly invasive. They request permissions access to services, data and capabilities far beyond their core mandates. Odd for guys who care so much about your privacy. And Spain overhauled its banks for the fifth time in three years this week in order to secure $125 billion in European aid and injected emergency funds into its biggest problem bank, Bankia. Spain's banks are settled with 184 billion euros in bad loans and repossessed buildings four years into a property market crash. They're an urgent need of rescue, Spain's banks are because most are cut off from funding other than from the European Central Bank. So what did the Spanish government do? It created a so-called bad bank to take over tens of billions of euros in defaulted loans and unsalable property. In case you'd like to do business with a bad bank,
here's what it offers you. We don't take care of deposits, we're the bad bank, but we don't mean to be a poster, but we're the bad bank. We even make you give us a toaster. All our bonds were highly rated, just a bit intoxicated. Now they're all amazing. We're the bad bank. We make you find for low-charging, but such a bad bank.
Don't even offer free parking. All our bonds are built into our bad rock. We'll get your funds in our headlock. We're weaker than Vegas. We're locked. Here's a whole experience, purity. You get everything, good security. Here's a bad bank. Labor that you go lazy. What a bad bank. We keep losing interest daily.
Bad bank. Bad bank. Bad bank. Bad bank. Bad bank.
Bad bank. Bad bank. Bad bank.
Bad bank. Bad bank. Bad bank. If you'd agree to join with me, thank you very much.
Thank you very much. This broadcast is represented on Twitter. Join the almost 69,000 folks who check in at the Harry Shurer. And can't take a hint, the aforementioned new record by yours truly.
Thank you very much.
