WEBVTT - Trump Advocates `Very Comprehensive’ Kavanaugh Probe

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>day we bring you insight and analysis into the most

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>important legal news of the day. You can find more

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud,

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and on Bloomberg dot com slash podcasts. Among all of

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>the questions about trade, you just heard President Trump fielding

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Rose Garden. He also got some questions about

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. President on Saturday commented about

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the FBI's investigation into those sexual assault charges against Kavanaugh. Yeah,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>they have free reign. They're gonna do whatever they have

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to do, whatever it is they do. They'll be doing

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>things that we never even thought of. And hopefully it's

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>the conclusion. Everything will be fun, okay. And I want

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to clarify those aren't charges, their allegations. And over the weekend,

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg News learned that there may be some limits on

0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that investigation. Let's talk about this with Professor Will Banks

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>from Syracuse Syracuse University Law School. Professor, I want to

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you for taking the time with us this afternoon. Um,

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 1>not just the limited time, because the time is going

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a week or less but a limited scope,

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>perhaps not allowed to delve into drinking or maybe talk

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>to some of the other accusers. Give us your thoughts

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>on that. Well, you know, it is unclear. I heard

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the president quote. I saw his tweet from Saturday that

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>suggested that the investigation was unlimited as far as the

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>President's concerned. And the important thing here is that that

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>was the President speaking. Any clarification or characterization of the

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>limits on the investigation that's offered by anyone else in

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the White House, unless they say they're speaking specifically for

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the President, that doesn't carry weight. So Don McGann doesn't

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>set the terms of the investigation or its parameters, nor

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>do the members of the Senate. Uh. The fact that

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a so called limited background investigation does tell us something.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>It suggests that indeed, the era won't be using any

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>compulsory process, no subpoenas or anything of that nature. They're

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>just going to be interviewing witnesses. But you know, they

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>could do a lot of interviews in the course of

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a few days. If they're only looking at the two

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the first two accusers and the immediate witnesses that they

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>say they were present at those events, then that's verily

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a very short list of interviewees and that could be done,

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>as someone said as early as today. So what is

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>your expectation for the outcome of the investigation. It's really

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>hard to say, you know. It's if all they're doing

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is talking to those two plus the witnesses to the events,

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like we're not going to know much more

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>about the veracity of the statements of Judge Kavanaugh or

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Dr Ford, and we then we did after we heard

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>their testimony. On the other hand, the investigation, you know,

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the was being interviewed now that if they declined to

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>tell the truth that they're subject to penalty. So I

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>think there's every reason for them to say exactly what

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>they know. I want to ask you a little bit

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>about some of the criticism about Kavanaugh's behavior, how he

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>snapped at some of the senators during the hearing, showing

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>some partisan preference during his opening statement, and even some

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>people were being critical of his appearance on Fox News.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>They just thought that wasn't becoming of a Supreme Court justice,

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.839
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court justice nominee. I want to get your

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that. Where do you stand there? Uh, you know,

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly not a judicial demeanor that he was exhibiting

0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>during the hearing last week are certainly by appearing on

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the media on television. I think, you know, the Senators

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>who will eventually have to decide on the nomination have

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to look at the entire picture, the entire record, which

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>includes not only everything leading up to the hearings, but

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the conduct of the hearings themselves, the original hearings, and

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>then this additional testimony that was given last week. I

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>think we do have questions now about the drinking, about

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>his character generally that we didn't have to take into

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 1>account before. But as far as the FBI talking to

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the witnesses, the witnesses have already sent letters to Congress

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>um and and if if, if they weren't truthful to Congress,

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>they could be subject to perjury, perjury charges in Congress.

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>They've already sent letters saying that you know, they don't

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>recall or this part, this this party that Dr Ford

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about didn't happen. Uh. It seems to me the

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>FBI is just going to be kind of probably getting

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of the same thing. It's it's certainly possible, but

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, the bureau can ask questions that weren't anticipated

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>by the writers of the letters. They can probe into

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>answers that or or to suggestions or made in the

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>letters that lead to other questions. And you know, they're

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>very seasoned and skillful of course at at the techniques

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of interviewing. So we we may well learn some things.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>And indeed it's possible that if if it's truly an

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>unfettered investigation in the way that the President characterized it

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>on the weekend, they may well find that they can

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>talk to others by asking the the interviewees, the immediate interviewees,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>who else they know who was president at those events.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>And I just want to remind our listeners that we

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>are away in comments from Commerce Secretary Wilburt Ross, he

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>too will be talking about trade and NAFTA. I'll call

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it NAFTA anymore. It's completely revamped now and we are

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>waiting for the Commerce Secretary in just a few minutes.

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>But until then, more about Kavanaugh. I'm curious about what

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you think the dynamic might be if and when Kavanaugh

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>is seated on the Supreme Court, and what it might

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>be between the justices, well, you know, the justices. I

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>think the eighth sitting justices are certainly uh fully capable

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>of sort of rising above this h this period of crisis. Uh.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And it is a period of crisis, I would say,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's if if Kavanaugh is confirmed, that

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>he'll be confirmed with an asterisk and way similar to

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 1>the way that Justice Thomas was confirmed all those years

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>ago in a not too dissimilar environment. It certainly took

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a time, I think for us to sort of put

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that Thomas episode with Anita Hill behind us. It would

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>take time, if that happens, for us to do something

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>similar with Kavanaugh. UM. So I wouldn't worry so much

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>about the dynamics on the court. I think the justices

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>are are you know today, they've begun their term, They're

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>they're getting their going with eight justices, they have a

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>lot on their docket this year. And if it's just

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>as Kavanaugh, he will be integrated into the mix. Based

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.679
<v Speaker 1>on everything you know right now, do you think Judge

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Kavanaugh gets confirmed? Yeah, I think the odds are still

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in his favor because of the uh, just because of

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the partisan lineup in the Senate in Washington today. The

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court is starting it's fall term, but the Court's

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>new term is being overshadowed by the pending nomination of

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Brett Kavanaugh, as the FBI investigates charges sexual assault against

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the Appeals Court judge. After last week's emotional Senate hearing,

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse criticized kavan Off for the political

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>nature of some of his comments last week. The fact

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that we're in a position in this country right now

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>where him going soapartisan, him losing complete control over his temperament.

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>You know they talk about judicial temperament. Didn't see much

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>of that. Greg store is Bloomberg News Supreme Court reporter.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>He joins us now from more on all of this

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>by phone from the court. So, Greg, how is the

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>absence of a justice they're affecting the Court's new term? Well, Peter,

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>they are. They're starting to hear cases heard the first

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>ones today with just eight justices on the court, and

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that of course creates a very different dynamic where if

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>they split along ideological lines as as possible they could

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>do in in the first case, they argued today that

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they would have to reargue the case once they get

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a ninth justice, which could be in the matter of

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a week or two, or could be much longer than that.

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Are they talking about delaying hearing any cases? Not talking

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>about it. But so far, in terms of the cases

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the Court has agreed to hear um, they have not

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>taken the most high profile, provocative cases. So, for example,

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a appending bid for review in a case involving

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>across that is World War One memorial in the middle

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of a busy intersection in Maryland just outside the DC border. UM,

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and the Court so far hasn't acted on that petition. Uh.

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>They are potentially in this case, waiting to see if

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they have another justice who might provide the deciding vote.

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm speculating a bit here, so, but it seems like

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>they're at least kicking the can down the road on

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>some of those more controversial cases. But in terms of

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>what they have scheduled, they are just going ahead as planned.

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Got to ask you what is the mood around all

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>of this in the building. It was interesting this argument today,

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>which involved in an Endangered Species Act, was fairly contentious.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Um it uh right from the get go. UH. Justice

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Elena Kagan came out, one of the liberal justice came

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>out and was pretty pretty uh forcefully arguing that uh,

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the endangered species that could be used to designate this

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>this area as a critical habitat for an endangered froug

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>And just to say, Alito, a conservative came right out

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>after her and suggested that she was spinning the way

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the case was set up to produce a preferred outcome.

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>So at least at this point, it doesn't seem like

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on the bench the justices are pulling any punches. Yeah,

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but but you know the talk in the hallways about

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Kavanaugh nomination and the and the and

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the and the new FBI investigation going on this week. Yeah,

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>it's um, you know, my my sense is that there

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to be some division among the people in

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>this building over that. Um. You know, this is a

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>very raw subject and it's crucially important for the future

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of the court. Um, you know, it's it's there are

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>two worlds that we could have going forward. We could

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.680
<v Speaker 1>have a court that um tries to lay low for

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>a little while and not deal with these really controversial cases.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Or you could have a world where it feels a

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit like an extension of that Senate hearing with

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>with Judge Kavanaugh there where the two sides are even

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>more vociferously hollering at one another. And at this point

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I would say that the second possibility is at least possible.

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And do you get a sense that once this limited

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 1>investigation by the FBI is done that Um, but let

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>me just ask straight up, do you think Kavanaugh still

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>gets confirmed? Here? I have so much trouble. You've covered

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these herring scragg and I know I'm

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>not trying to put you on the spot, you know, Um,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.599
<v Speaker 1>indications are that that the FBI investigation isn't going to

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>tell us too much more than what we already know

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong in there. We'll see where it goes. Um.

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it will then come down to basically what

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 1>it has come down to pretty much the whole time.

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Those few Republican senators whose votes are still up in

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the air. It depends on what Susan Collins thinks about

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>his testimony, and she hasn't made that clear. It's um uh,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been clear that and depends on what It depends

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>on what the FBI reports too. It does depend on

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.199
<v Speaker 1>with Collins and some of the others. Yeah, the one

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 1>danger that that brit Kavanaugh has and maybe he didn't

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>have a week ago. Um is that his testimony, his

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>demeanor in the testimony was so combative that that could

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>prompt some senators to say, hey, this is not the

0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of judicious person we want on the Supreme Court.

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>And there's also the risk that if he has caught

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.599
<v Speaker 1>in some smaller life something other than you know, the

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>big sexual assault allegation. If if there's um evidence that's

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>clear enough that he uh misrepresented the facts about his

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, drinking or something else that you know, the

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>references in his yearbooks, that that might be enough of

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>a reason for so many to say, I don't trust

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy. He shouldn't be on the Supreme Court. But

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, this all depends on what's in the mind

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of two or three pisotal senators. And just in the

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>last seconds, what did you make of President Trump's comments

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>about all this in the Rose Garden today? You know, Peter,

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been I'm afraid I've been upstairs, and you've been

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>working and writing a story about the Endangered Species acted.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna have to duck a ne because I

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard what he said. Alright, alright about that, faird
