. >> steve: mag nificent, peter lerner. >> that was terrible. >> steve: regarding "wall street journal" article, peter, it talks about how the president, according to 45 people, is in cognitive more than a while back. they describe the president who speaks so softly now. people who are just a few feet from him can't understand him or can't hear him. you see the president all the time. have you noticed he's getting softer and softer? >> peter: sometimes it is so soft that you really have to be paying attention if you're in the room and not able to listen to the microphone he's talking into. those are limited opportunities they put him out there on camera. the reason that this "wall street journal" story seems it is so damaging is because they're talking about all the rest of the time when the president is doing the work. you have biden officials over the last couple months who say forget what you see on camera, behind the scenes he's on top of it. >> lawrence: absurd. >> peter: democrats have known biden for years, who say he is showing signs of age. that is the last thing that they nee

quickly, mark lerner, it seems to me that building codes would have a much more bit more impact. the house price of housing. and if do you know how much and if that's true, how do we scale them back? yeah, so that's a great question. similar answer as short. his answer is the researchers have barely looked at building codes. so possible that's adding a lot more but what we're doing now essentially is just comparing the physical cost, which includes everything the building code makes you do with the land cost you where you don't information and comparing that to price and we've got a huge gap there building codes may very well be adding an additional amount there's what economists name escapes me who is insistent that? there's also a bunch of very potent regulations against prefabricated homes, which he says do not confuse trailers. and that that's really important. he's the only person who thinks this. and i couldn't find anyone else who is weighing in. so i didn't want to talk about it too much. but the guy may be right. actually. so it may be that i am understating the severity
