Pocket and says it wasnt fair. She calls me and says you didnt pay. I say yes i did. We have a problem. Third possibility, i pay pay and she gives it to the landlady and calls and says i never got the money. By the way the fourth possibility is i leave the money before the cleaning lady gets there and the horse in the front yard comes in with the doors unlocked and its the money for a stranger wanders off the street and takes the money because it is unlocked. The morning we left, and i still have this on my photo, i had way too many 20 bills. I fan them out on the table and stupidly i took a photograph so that in case she said i didnt get the money i could show her the picture, which of course isnt very good to take a picture and put the money back. [laughter] but i took the picture, walked out the door door, drove down the hill, went up the coast and everything went great. She took the money to make it to the landlady, she got it, no problem at all. That does not have been in every co
Adam smith is probably the second best thing to come out of scotland. The first isnt golf. But you man know about his famous book, the wealth of nations. You may know he was a free trader and he may have heard of the invisible hand. What i want to talk about tonight is smiths other boat, the theory of moral sentiments i want to give you an insight into his economics and apply them to modern life. What i want to do tonight is give you an idea of what adam smith can teach us about ourselves and the world around us. I want to start with the story, i was in london last week, i think it was last week. It was this year for sure. It was a whirl wind trip. Had a great time. Never been in london before. I gave a talk at a place called the will society of arts. The Royal Society of arts is very old. The use to be called the Royal Society for encouraging manufacturing, the arts and commerce. Now is called the Royal Society of arts and it is to create creativity and ideas and it is a wonderful pla
Building. Isnt that right . In other words, the officer was right. Yes. Ultimately, the officer was right. The Washington Post story says this agent subsequently reported her concerns to investigators. Was there an afteraccident report about the 2011 shooting . Did it include recommendations related to agents reporting their concerns without fear of being criticized . Do you know . I dont know. I would say that the officers statement to our interviews, that occurred with secret service employees, are different than the officers statements to the fbi and officers conducting the investigation. I have asked them to go back and have a robust conversation with that employee to make sure she feels supported, knows that we want her to come forward with information, and that we understand what some of the impediments may be with the Management Team where we feel like we can make improvements to make sure that never happens again.

To encourage creativity and ideas and its a wonderful place and che have speakers and i gave to talk. And before my talk im in a room off to the side and they put out things to eat and drink couch and a couple of chairs, nondescript room. And off in the corner is an enormous green leather chair. Its this wide, its got beautiful wooden arms has this gorgeous carving on the top and vase, the president s or president ial chair says this chair was designed by William Chambers he is a famous architect of his day. He had built and designed somerset house, the building a few blocks from where i was talking. And he had designed this chair. And it says the president s chair, comma, 1759. And i got kind of excited for reasons. One, 1759 was the first year that the theory of world sentiments was published. Second id been told before my talk that adam smith had been a member hoff the Royal Society of arts. So it was possible that adam smith had sat in this very chair in 1759 when his book came out
60 of the time, they do not even pick up the phone. Varney company is about to begin. I guess that this is the good news. We were down about 150. We have warned evidence, by the way.

The top story today they have extended past the midnight deadline. You said iran was making us look like april fools. Another good line for us today. Stuart. [laughter] he asked if it was appropriate. The iranians are making fools out of us since the initiation of these negotiations. I think that we can agree that we are begging the iranians. Baking them for something you can put on a piece of paper and wave around. They gang is not a good strategy. You are dealing with a hostile treacherous
