What is it that government shouldn't do? >> so four things that should happen now. first is the fed. they continue to inject $120 billion into the economy every single month. that made sense at the height of the emergency. it doesn't make sense now. so they should ease off the pedal to the metal monetary stimulus. two is we've got to get productivity back up. that involves infrastructure. that involves human investments. three, we've got to look very seriously at excess financial risk, because what's going to happen if we're not careful is the inflation as it persists will disrupt the financia...

This rocket with no training and not have to press any buttons, go 357 miles above earth, rotate, go 15 times around earth, come back down, splash down in the atlantic and they control everything from california. that's the technology we're watching right now. >> that's a no for me, dawg. i would root you on, cal, to do that. >> pass. >> from an engine -- there's something intriguing theoretically. from an engineering perspective, so the problem, right, to getting to something like routine civilian space flight exploration, that spacex has been trying solve, is that rocket issue, right? the co...

These four astronauts are now writing. in this capsule has been to the international space station, right now spacex is your only way on or off the international space station. they are the main contractor for nasa. that is why we are here at cape canaveral, nobody does it better than they, do and they are showing it today with again what is a automated system. so in theory, the way that this is going to work is that hopefully, you and i are going to get on this rocket with no training. and not have to press any buttons, we go 357 miles above the earth, we rotate for three, days we go 15 times...

Unimaginable to anybody, anybody. it may be to you from an engineering perspective. that's my question, how concerned are you that this could happen to another building nearby that may be in the same, you know, the same sand? >> you know what, that depends on what the outcome of the investigation is. let's say, for example, if the outcome of the investigation is that it's because of the settlement, say that might have caused the foundation, then you need to take a look at the other similar buildings sitting in the same kind of foundation and so on. my feeling is that usually a collapse like th...

Already heard reports that some divers had to turn around because the flow is so heavy coming through the passage ways. stopping that level of water may be all but impossible. another instructor i work with puts it best, don't view it as water like in your swimming pool. look outside and imagine all the rain is basketballs and when you suddenly think about it, it is a huge volume. and now you have to add in eight pounds of weight for every gallon of water. so it is a monstrous thing to try to stop moving water like that. and so i don't think that it is plausible. it may be. but from an enginee...
