Hero Faces Deportation, Penn Rewrites History, and New York’s ATM Crime Wave

Hero Faces Deportation, Penn Rewrites History, and New York’s ATM Crime Wave

A construction worker who saved a 9-year-old from a shark attack is now facing deportation—because heroism has paperwork. Penn reverses course on Lia Thomas, wiping her name from the school’s swimming records after a Title IX investigation. And in New York, thieves are skipping wallets and just stealing the entire ATM. Yes, the whole thing. Like a heist movie written by someone who failed economics and physics.

Calaroga Shark media.

2
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.359
From our Hampton's house where we're all hung over. This

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.119
is ballot. That's right.

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.239
A holiday weekend means it's entirely possible. We pre tape Monday.

5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:22.239
Let's hit this. Jaws was right, don't go into the water.

6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.399
Hi, I'm Patrick Gutfield and a man who helped rescue

7
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.640
a nine year old girl from a shark attack is

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.640
now facing deportation after being arrested by ice just three

9
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.560
days later. Lewis Alvarez, thirty one, was one of three

10
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.560
construction workers who rushed to help Leah Lendel after she

11
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.280
was bitten by a shark in Boca Grande, Florida. Alvarez

12
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.119
literally jumped into shark infested waters to help pull the

13
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.280
girl to safety. One of his colleagues said he went

14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.920
deep underwater, not even caring about the shark. The girl

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.439
underwent six hours of emergency surgery, and doctors were able

16
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.479
to reattach her hand. Three days after this heroic rescue,

17
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.759
Alvarez was pulled over for driving without headlights at one

18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.319
thirty seven in the morning in Imchai, Florida. When asked

19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.560
for his license, he showed the officer a photo of

20
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.760
his US employment authorization document on his phone. A records

21
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.120
check showed he'd never been issued a driver's license in

22
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.120
the United States, So now he's being held by ICE

23
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.840
for allegedly being in the country illegally since December twenty

24
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.280
twenty two. The timing here is absolutely incredible. This guy

25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.680
risks his life to save a child from a shark attack,

26
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.319
and within seventy two hours he's in federal custody facing deportation.

27
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.480
That's either the worst luck in the world or the

28
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.920
most twisted sense of justice imaginable. Alvarez had been arrested

29
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.239
four times previously in Lee County for driving without a license,

30
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.159
which suggests this wasn't exactly a surprise to local law enforcement,

31
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.359
but the fact that he was working construction with an

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.920
employment authorization document indicates he was at least trying to

33
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.680
follow the legal process. His colleague Ray Noll Lugo told

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.120
reporters he's a real decent guy, which is probably the

35
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.319
understatement of the year. Most people wouldn't jump into water

36
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.519
with an eight foot shark to save a stranger's child,

37
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.719
but this guy did it without hesitation. ICE says Alvarez

38
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.159
entered the country illegally but he had work authorization documents,

39
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.120
which suggests he was at least trying to navigate the system.

40
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.879
The fact that he was working construction and paying fines

41
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.919
for traffic violations shows he wasn't exactly hiding from authorities.

42
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.680
The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women

43
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.000
from competing on women's sports teams following a federal investigation

44
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.319
that found the school violated Title nine. The case centered

45
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.639
on Leah Thomas, the transgender swimmer who became the first

46
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.680
known transgender woman to win a Division one title during

47
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:45.599
the twenty twenty one to twenty two season. The Education

48
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.400
Department found that Penn violated federal law when it allowed

49
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.599
Thomas to compete on the women's swim team.

50
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.199
And use associated facilities.

51
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.280
Under the agreement reached Tuesday, the school has to restore

52
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.520
all individual swimming records that had been awarded to Thomas

53
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.360
back to the female athletes who previously held them. Penn

54
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.919
updated its record books Tuesday, changing the record holder for

55
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.159
three events, the one hundred, two hundred and five hundred freestyle.

56
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.560
The school's website now notes that Thomas had held those

57
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.319
records competing under eligibility rules in effect at the time,

58
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.039
which is the academic equivalent of putting an asterisk next

59
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.719
to Barry Bond's home run record. The university also has

60
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.120
to send apology letters to all affected swimmers and issue

61
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.000
a public statement about its new policy.

62
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:33.800
Penn President J.

63
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.680
Larry Jamison said he was pleased to make the deal

64
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.719
with federal officials, adding that if the investigation had gone unresolved,

65
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.840
it could have had significant and lasting implications. That's administrator

66
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.919
speak for we didn't want to lose our federal funding.

67
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.400
Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the agreement a great victory

68
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.000
for women and girls, which is quite a statement from

69
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.240
someone who used to be in the professional wrestling business.

70
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.719
Thomas swam on men's men's team for three years before

71
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.680
transitioning to the women's team. As of March, Pen no

72
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.120
longer had any transgender athletes competing on women's teams, which

73
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.360
makes this whole agreement feel a bit like closing the

74
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.480
barn door after the horse has already left and graduated.

75
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.399
So there's a new crime wave hitting New York City

76
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.279
and it's not what you'd expect. Forget pickpockets and purse snatchers.

77
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.839
Criminals are now just walking into stores and stealing entire

78
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.720
ATM machines, and I mean the whole machine, not the

79
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.000
money inside, the actual two hundred pound metal box.

80
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.040
Picture this. Three guys roll up to a grocery store

81
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.439
in Queen's at three in the morning.

82
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.160
They disable the security cameras, break down the door, and

83
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.040
then just pick up the ATM and carry it out.

84
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.600
The whole thing takes five minutes.

85
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.040
Five minutes I've spent longer trying to get my metro

86
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.480
card to work. The machine was wedged between shelves of

87
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.639
peta bread and potato chips, which honestly sounds like the

88
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.720
World's most disappointing heist movie Ocean's.

89
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:08.959
Eleven convenience store edition.

90
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.800
These particular thieves hit thirty nine locations from September through January.

91
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.000
That's more consistent than the subway schedule. Police suspect they

92
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.959
made off with over half a million dollars, which is

93
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.319
impressive until you realize they had to physically carry each

94
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.800
machine out like their moving furniture for the World's Worst Roommate.

95
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.600
One crew got caught because they led police on a

96
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.639
high speed chase that ended when they crashed their van

97
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.560
into a barrier at LaGuardia Airport, LaGuardia. Even criminals can't

98
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.480
figure out how to navigate that place properly.

99
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:39.759
And here's the thing.

100
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.360
Store owners keep getting new ATMs even after they're stolen.

101
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.480
One guy said, if he doesn't have an ATM, customers

102
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.000
just go to a different corner. So now small business

103
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.600
owners are basically trapped in an abusive relationship with cash machines.

104
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.240
Sure it might get stolen and destroy my store, but

105
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.240
what if someone needs twenty dollars. Portions of today's show

106
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.519
were made with the help of AI. Now stick around

107
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.480
for this bonus interview. See you tomorrow.

108
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.560
I'm so excited to talk to you, Carl. Talk to

109
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.920
me a guy who's had this illustrious business career. What

110
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.759
made you decide to write a book on happiness? You

111
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.240
could have gone in some man the other directions.

112
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.439
Well, actually I didn't, Donnie. I didn't decide to write

113
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.759
a book. Something happened. This happiness experiment happened in real life,

114
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.079
in real terms. I had no idea about writing a book,

115
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.560
but I saw it working. The experiment was working. My

116
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.199
friends and family were getting happier, They're increasing their happiness,

117
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.519
and I saw it. So I thought, I need to

118
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.480
write about this, and so that's when I got into

119
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:38.160
writing the book.

120
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.000
And talk to me about prequested. Talk to me what

121
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.399
it's about and how it's the foundation of things.

122
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.120
Well, it came about through three major things that happened

123
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.839
in life. When I almost died in a plane crash.

124
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.759
If you read the book, you'll find out whether I

125
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.720
survived or not. The other thing that happened was I

126
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.560
got a call from my sister in England. She told

127
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.720
me her husband was dying. He had six months to live.

128
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.639
So I flew to England and she was in my

129
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.920
will and I said, Janet, you're in my will as

130
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.560
a bequest, but that's something you need right now, so

131
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.480
I'm going to make it a prequest. I'm going to

132
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.600
bring that bequest forward and pay it to you now

133
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.360
while you can enjoy it and your husband can fulfill

134
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.879
these last wishes. She was overjoyed, burst into tears of course,

135
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.560
and said all these is great. My brother was there

136
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.000
at the same time, and I said, Barry, since I've

137
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.000
done this too for my sister, I'm going to bring

138
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.959
your bequest forward, make it a prequest. And he said, oh,

139
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.519
that's fabulous, Thank you. Very much. You're very generous, his

140
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.920
wife and ballistic. She said, this is too much money.

141
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:35.959
It's wrong.

142
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.959
I don't want anything to do with it, and stormed

143
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.959
out of the room. So that was a real surprise. Anyhow,

144
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.240
she got over it, and the next thing that happened

145
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.240
is I look at my investments. I got a lot

146
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.319
of money sitting investments, not doing anything. Wasn't working for me,

147
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.839
wasn't working for my friends. So I said, why don't

148
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.000
I use this money for my own success and happiness

149
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.680
and also for my friends, the people that helped me

150
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.959
get to be wealthy and successful.

151
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.600
That's what I did. So it's not a one time thing.

152
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.040
This is kind of a lifetime experiment, if you will.

153
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.160
Yeah, it turned out that way because I didn't want

154
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.279
to just give people money and say, you know, be happy.

155
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.040
I said, I want this to enrich your life, be

156
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.519
something special. So I'd like you to think about it.

157
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.560
Plan something, write a happiness plan. And they asked, what's

158
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.759
a happiness plan. I said, when I get that, I'll

159
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.560
give you all the money, and well, let's see how

160
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.120
it works out.

161
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.600
So you talk about coaching and grants to reshape and

162
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.080
change lives, which is timely given what's going on in

163
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:36.720
the world today.

164
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.559
Yeah. And the thing is that it wasn't just about

165
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.399
the money, Donnie. The money is important. We love money,

166
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.000
it's good to have it. But what really worked with

167
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.919
these people was the planning with a happiness coach. They

168
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.759
thought about carefully what they wanted to do that's going

169
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:57.320
to enrich their life, make them happier, what things they love,

170
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.519
things that they were fascinated with, and they wrote all

171
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.240
that down with a happiness coach. They had a plan.

172
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.360
And as soon as I got the plan, I said,

173
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.360
here's the money, all of it. It's all yours. You

174
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.159
don't owe me anything, no strings attached. And they went

175
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.639
off and started becoming happier.

176
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.440
It's incredible. So the inspiration for this was just your

177
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.240
your death experience.

178
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.279
Well, that was part of it, but it was a

179
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.440
number of things that happened. First off, I was very,

180
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.480
very grateful for the people that helped me to become successful,

181
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.440
and I wanted it. Being grateful is terrific. Okay, we

182
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.159
love that you talk about gratitude and gratitude journaling all

183
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.480
those sort of things, but the real thing is is

184
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.559
expressing the gratitude, telling somebody how much you care about them,

185
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.960
appreciating what they did for you writing a letter. It

186
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.519
doesn't have to be about money. It could be possessions.

187
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.879
It can be money, it can be attention, could be time.

188
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.799
It can be knowledge, your wisdom that you share with

189
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.360
younger people. But it's what you're doing while you're still

190
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.799
alive that counts. When you did, it's over.

191
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.480
It's such a simple but brilliant point. And how do

192
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.840
you think, let's say play this out that people kind

193
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.919
of really buy into this intentional happiness and prequesting. How

194
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.600
does the world become a better place. Let's take this

195
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.039
up ten thousand feet.

196
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.679
It would be great. The reason I wrote the book

197
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.080
is I want this idea to get into the world

198
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.360
so that certainly the wealthy people, they can do the

199
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.120
prequesting make themselves and their friends and family happier right

200
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.759
now while they're still alive. The other thing, I want

201
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.799
the book to show how these people planned, thought about

202
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.000
their happiness, created a happiness plan, and then worked at

203
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.159
and to become happier. And others can learn from their experiences,

204
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.759
reading their plans and then doing the same thing. And

205
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.759
in the back of my book there's a workbook which

206
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.080
goes through that step by step and a plan to

207
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.759
increase your happiness.

208
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.720
How do we get this into the workplace, into schools

209
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.919
and kind of really to your point, get this in there.

210
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.960
You know that would be lovely if it went into

211
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.960
the schools, and I think in high schools this would

212
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.279
be a really good subject to put on the curriculum.

213
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.919
What is happiness? How do you achieve happiness? What's it

214
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.799
all about? What is happiness? It's a great question. You

215
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.960
have to read my book. But but in short, in

216
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.360
short emotion, we all know what happiness is. It's feeling good,

217
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.679
it's joyful, it's exhilaration, it's loving life is That's what

218
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.840
it is, a feeling. But it's also a mindset. You

219
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.159
have to think that I deserve happiness. I want to

220
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.200
be happy. I'm taking my happiness seriously. So it's heart

221
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.519
and mind, not just one or the other. So it's

222
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.320
that combination. But really, I give but a whole chapter

223
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.279
in the book on what is happiness? And it's a

224
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.000
it's a it's a great chapter. You'll love the book.

225
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.279
Now a lot of people I cannot wait to read it.

226
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.120
I'm so excited, Like just turned on listening to you.

227
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.559
A lot of people equate happiness to financial success and things,

228
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.360
and what am I going to learn in the book

229
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.720
about that?

230
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.519
Well, happiness, money is important, Okay, let's let's get that

231
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:54.080
off the table.

232
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:54.360
Listen.

233
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.759
But it's not going to buy you happiness. The good

234
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.080
use of money is really important how you do it,

235
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.000
But it's it's it's the mindset. It's the pursuit of

236
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.840
happiness that counts. Taking your happiness seriously, wanting what you want,

237
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.159
and what you want is important, your dreams, your purpose

238
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.159
is in life, what you want to achieve in your career,

239
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.559
what you want to treat with your family, what you

240
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.480
want to achieve. Their purpose is all around what you value.

241
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.440
Are you pursuing those values? Are you living those values?

242
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.320
This is what it's all about. Money helps, but it's

243
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.360
all those other spiritual things, if you like, psychological things,

244
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.399
that are really the root of happiness. And as we

245
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.879
all know, some people very rich and they're very unhappy.

246
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:40.679
And this is a lot of people. People want to

247
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.360
be really happy.

248
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.600
I always say money could solve problems, but it can't

249
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.000
buy your happiness. But you certainly can throw into problems.

250
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.360
But that's about the extent of it. So let's play

251
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.080
this out. How does the right now the world could

252
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.240
use this more than ever. So how do let's say

253
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.200
if I just did this fantasy and said, Okay, everybody's

254
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.399
gonna everybody's going to do this prequest, everybody's going to

255
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.519
do the happiness planning, how does the world look different.

256
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.200
Well, as you know, Donnie, when you're happy, your family

257
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.600
tends to be happy, your friends are happier, and happiness ripples,

258
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.759
it spreads. And if this idea gets into the world,

259
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:19.840
which I'm I'm working very hard to do, get it

260
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.759
into the world. Talking to you because you're going to

261
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.240
buy lots of these books and you're going to tell

262
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.120
all your friends about.

263
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.200
It, right, So I am, Yes, I am.

264
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.120
If this goes in, it spreads, it ripples. It doesn't

265
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.879
stay just with you. It goes down to your family,

266
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.480
to your friends, and to your community. And if a

267
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.440
lot of wealthy people did this, and it's not just

268
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.600
about wealth, it's possessions, it's time, it's love, it's wisdom

269
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:40.799
that we can share with others while we're still alive

270
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.960
here and now. And if that gets into the world

271
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.840
and there's a lot of people start doing this, then

272
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.720
this that the happiness level in the world will increase

273
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.799
little by little, and I'd be very happy about that.

274
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.279
Mister Barney, it's been inspirational talking to you. I am

275
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.759
going to get this book immediately. I could recommend it

276
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.279
just based on what we've talked about to anybody, because

277
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:04.039
we all could use little happiness. I appreciate take, appreciate

278
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:04.759
you taking the time.

279
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.279
Happy to be here. Thanks Donnie.
