6:00 pm
hands-free fast food. oh, my gosh, it's so good. that's so good. >> mr. incredit i beard, we salute you, sort of. always keeping your chin up, growing boldly where no man has gone before on the riddick lust. we'll see you one hour later with a panel discussion. we hope you join us for that. piers morgan live starts now. this is piers morgan live. welcome from the states an around the world. when bill clinton was president. he told me last night what it's like to try to fix this kind of thing. you and newt gingrich eventually worked it out between you hochl dow you get stuff done with a
6:01 pm
dysfunctional washington? >> we worked it out when he was trying to run me out of town. wi were still working together. >> and the other stied of the story with newt gingrich, what he thinks will happen this time. and next generation of clintons, what chelsea clinton tells me about her future in politics. >> have you ever thought about running for high office? >> well, piers, people have been asking me that for as long as i can remember. >> and as to her mother's plans. is your mom running for president? and game night in the clinton family. who wins? >> thankfully it's a pretty equal distribution. i think otherwise -- >> plus maybe the greatest comeback in sporting history, larry ellison's oracle team usa coming from eight behind. plus a surprising message from someone who knows a thing or two about coming back. the big story, countdown to shut down. many federal agencies may be
6:02 pm
forced to close down their doors october 1st. the situation not entirely unfamiliar to newt gingrich. speak ore f the house was shut down and now the co-host of cnn's "crossfire." good to be with you. >> good to see you. >> there i was chewing the fat with bill clinton and inevitably your name came up. i want to play the full quote on what went on between you and he in a that last shutdown. listen to this. >> he knew it when he shoved me out. he was a game man. he thought -- he once said to erskine bowles the difference between us is that we'll do whatever he can and you won't do that. you think there are things you shouldn't do. and once i realize what the deal was, i let him do whatever he could and then we did business on the side. and you're laughing, but that's really -- we reached an
6:03 pm
accommodation. >> now, mr. speaker, is that how you remember things? >> well, thing we each have our own version, but there are some key things in there that tell you a lot about why the city's a bigger mess right now. when i was speaker, which was an enormous shock because we hadn't had a republican speaker in 41 year, they ran 1201,000 atds against mess, filed 81 spurious ethnics charges. they did everything to stop me. at the same tie we ended up in a major fight with clinton, the government closed twice. it was a very tough environment. but the thing that made president clinton so different from president obama, we could come part mentalize. it wasn't that we were friends but we both under that you had to find a way to work for america even if as political rivals you were fighting over what was going on. so we had an act to pick up the phone, sometimes very tough conversations. but to pick up the phone, to get together in the same room, to
6:04 pm
keep talking. and my guess is we spent more days together than obama and boehner have spent minutes together this year. >> you see, think this is fascinating and it's what i've been suspecting for a while and to hear it from both bill clinton and now you has confirmed what i always thought which is the negotiates skills perhaps of the current speaker and president. i'll take you one step further because bill clinton was also fascinating about his personal relationship with vladimir putin. that, too, plays into the same area. >> it is not necessary to trust somebody to take them up on a good offer. just pay attention to what's going on. >> now, he went on to say he would get in a room with putin just as you would. i'm not compared you to mr. vladimir putin. you may consider that as a compliment.
6:05 pm
he would throw everybody out of the room. he did this sign before we did the interview. bang, bang, bang, and we would go at each other brutally. we would get stuff done. and then i said, did vladimir put tin ever let you down, renege on a personal deal he gave you one on one. he said never. he was a man of his world behind closed doors. the game really was when you went out of the doors into twil world what you don't do is try to humiliate your opponent. the same thing i think applies to the relationship between president obama and john boehner and it screams out to me why aren't they not doing that, why don't they look what happened between you and president clinton and indeed between clinton and putin and try to do the same thing now for the benefit of the american people? >> you know, i think it's a really fascinating question. i noticed today the headline under the president on cnn during the afternoon was i will not negotiate. well, then what are you going to
6:06 pm
get done under our constitution going all the way back to your native country almost 900 years ago with the magna car ta. the king has to negotiate with the commons or he doesn't get any money. that's the base of the magna car ta, and the president has to come off his high horse. boehner has to also say that he may not be able to get everybody in his party to vote for something. it may be a situation where you end up with 80% of the republicans and a substantial number of democrats getting something done, but they've got to -- if you don't talk to each other and if you don't find some common way to do it and if you're not creative -- i mean one thing pr clinton who i think is one of the smartest people i've ever worked with, he had an intuitive ability to grasp the situation and to immediately move beyond the problem and try to figure out if there was a solution. and so we were -- we were a little bit like two graduate students in that we would get in a room and start talking and
6:07 pm
theorizing and remembering books and doing stuff. but this that process, you begin to get away from what you couldn't do and you began to gradually work your way to what you could do. >> yeah, i think it's absolutely fascinating that you both talk like this because to me it's an exact parallel. putin is still here and the republicans and democrats are going exactly as they were in the mid-90s. here's what i want to play which may send a shudder of horror up your spine and it's what he said about his wife and his daughter. who do you think might make the better president? your wife or your daughter? >> the day after tomorrow, my wife because she's had more experience. over the long run, chelsea. she knows more than we do about anything. >> i've got a great interview coming up with chelsea clinton. she is a smart cookie, by the way, as people will discover
6:08 pm
later in the show. but in terms of what he said there, he's basically laying down the ground work, mr. speaker, for maybe 40 more years of clinton presidency. >> who knows. i watched last night and i was fascinated and i thought, you know, as a husband i have -- clarissa and i have two daughters. that's a question you have to dance around a little bit because there's no possibility of saying the daughter is smarter now and going home. i thought -- in a typical clinton manner i thought he handled very, very hartfully. cla lis ta said to me last night, that is a very bright young woman. >> she really is. you see later in this somehow just how bright she is, how poised she is, media savvy, how confident in front of an audien audience. i was reallyism pressed with chelsea clinton and i was fascinating watch bill clinton saying you can have both of them. i wouldn't get too hung up just about hillary.
6:09 pm
in terms of hillary, do you think there's any doubt she'll run? >> look. you have to always say there's a possibility of a health problem, an accident, something you can't manl. but i would say the odds are 90%, 95% she's going to run. and the odds are -- remember, i was wrong in 2008. i was sure she was going to be a nominee and i clung to that all the way into april because i couldn't imagine her not whipping the nomination. so my advise here might be useless. but i think the odds are high that she'll be a democratic nominee. >> is there a part of yourself that says gingrich v clinton, let's do it again? >> no, i don't think that's part of my future. i do enjoy "crossfire." i think hillary is very, very smart, works very hard and nobody should underestimate the kind of candidate she'd be. >> mr. speaker, good to talk with you. i love "crossfire," and please come back on the show soon. >> looking forward to it. when we come back,
6:10 pm
clinton:the next generation, chelsea clinton. i'll ask her if she's going to floer in her mother's and father's footsteps. >> have you ever thought about running for high office? the humble back seat. we believe it can be the most valuable real estate on earth. ♪ that's why we designed the subaru forester from the back seat forward. the intelligently designed,

today, we'd like people to come together on something that concerns all of us. obesity. and as the nation's leading beverage company, we can play an important role. that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change what's offered in schools. but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us, based on one simple common sense fact... all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight. that goes for coca-cola, and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca-cola, we know when people come together, good things happen. to learn more, visit coke.com/comingtogether

6:14 pm
>> ba dum. >> i think -- i think we are putting ourselves back on the path that we need to be on, and one of the reasons i feel so strongly that that is true is because of not only the woman sitting on my right but also the woman sitting on my left. i think that young people in this country are taking control of our future and our national destiny. we are indeed mobilizing for impact which is our theme at this year's c gr i, and think we'll hear more about that when america and peggy tell you the work that they're doing both here in the united states and around the world because i think it's not only happening here at home, but it's a global phenomenon. >> before we get too deep into the weeds, is your mom running for president? >> you'll have to ask her that. >> huh? >> you'll have to ask her that. so we won't take it personally if you have to race out the back. >> and, america, i can't think
6:15 pm
of anybody better named to ask about america. you're a young american woman as chelsea said. a lot of young american women taking charge and many thing that's quite right. what are the key issues facing young peopwomen in america righ now? >> i have to agree with chelsea. i think yum peeng are do it zoord things. there's a misconception that they're disengaged. i'm sure what chelsea sees and peggy sees globally is that young people are passionate and ready and primed and every single one of them capable of caring and taking care of action. i do a lot with voting of latinos. and we're a growing demographic. the average latino american is 26 years old. we're young, passionate, and fired up. what we need are tools and no-how, and think that will address this perception o
6:16 pm
disengagement of apathy. i dope think that's what's happening. i think what's happening is a lalk of really civil society and our institutions doing the jobs to educate and empower young people? and a lack of opportunity. i mean i couldn't echo america more strongly that there is this perception that the more the generation isdisengaged. more than 40% have volunteer and more than 450% have already donated to something they feel passionate about whether it was in the aftermath of the haiti earthquake in 2010 or to their local soup kitchen or church. millennials are the most engaged since the great generation, and another way in which that manifests is young people raising their hand saying i want to serve, i want to participate. >> by the way, this millennial thing, is there a minimum age
6:17 pm
for entry? i'm 48. i know what you're thinking. i'm trying to age into the millennial category. do i have a prayer or not or am i done? >> we could probably make an exception. >> i think you could be millennial but you'd have to come in as someone who actually supports young people and as chelsie was saying create as stage that allows them to move from being beneficiaries to where they were passive to active. whether it's speaking, training, giving them speaking platforms, you can come in. >> that's very kind of you. >> there's a terrorist battle going on, trying to dismantle governments and stability wherever they can. what is your reaction to what happened there having talked to people back in kenya? >> i think it's deplorable.
6:18 pm
it's sad. the fact that the people out there with w.h.o. are trying to tear down what we've worked so hard to build as a country, but the fact -- at least one of the things i'm taking away from this is i've seen kenyan young people come together and go out and the buss are not charging people if they're going in to donate blood. people are lining up to give food to soldiers and good food to the volunteers and people are just volunteering, and this has been a way to spark like the i can do this, this is my country, i have to take charge of making it a better place and care for whoever was hurt. it forces them to step off and say we can do this. >> clearly there's an issue with the radicalization of home grown terror, whether it's in america or britain. we don't know where all thee terrorists came from, but that looks like to be patent. we saw it in the boston marathon
6:19 pm
and other times. you have this disaffected youth, unemployed youth but you have youth that can be susceptible to being raddicalized. how do you think the best way for a country like america can actually deal with this kind of problem? >> the greatest risk factor is arguably in unemployed young man to any social system, to any society anywhere in the world. and so ensuring that young people feel like we are collectively investing more in their future than in kind of either harboring past grievances or in kind of protecting the status quo is, i think, the best anecdote. >> hearing you speak, chelsea, i think i can ask you this question not your mother because it involves you. have you ever thought of running for high office. >> well, piers, people have been asking me that for as long as i can rb, literally. >> what's the truthful answer?
6:20 pm
>> the truthful answer is thankfully the truthful answer, i guess, in that i'm deeply grateful for my life now. i love my life. i love being able do this work. i love that particularly through the clinton global initiative universe we're able to connect with students like peggy and help connect her to more resources that can help advance her work and help connect her to young students who want to emulate her work and i'm grateful i live in a city and state -- >> this is a brilliant politician's answer. >> it's true. >> you would be able to talk for an hour without remotely answering yes or no. >> right now the answer is i don't know. right now i'm grateful for my life, invigorated by my life. >> have you been inspired or deterred by what has happened to your parents? >> i'm deeply inspired by my parents and deeply inspired by
6:21 pm
the fact that hay've always worked on their lives and their work is more about their work than what you ask has happened to them so i find that incredibly inspiring. so i don't know. right now, no. in the future, i don't know. >> brilliant answer. that leaves every opportunity available. let's go -- this is great moment for me. i'm now going to throw to a question from the audience, but it's not just any member of the audience. this is goldie hawn, one of my favorite actresses of all time. >> we all know the stressors that our children deal with today. we live with it every two weeks something horrible happens. my question is are you creating any programs at all inside of the efforts that you're putting forth to stabilize the stressors and to give an educational program to give tools for these children and young people to be
6:22 pm
able to sustain and create resilience through all the gifts and the help that you're giving because, you know, we -- our emotional life guides us, so how do we and are you attending to that? >> america. >> you know, none of us are born with coping skills wchl learn coping skills, and, yes, there is so much we're all dealing with these days, and because of technological advancements, it's so much more than it's ever been. there are days when, you know, it's too much for me to deal with, so we can't imagine what it feels like for young people to be growing up in this world where, yes, every couple of weeks there's an atrocity in the news and i've been fortunate to be pa rt of this amazing organization since i was a freshman in college since i was a volunteer in the organization. it was called peace first. it goes into schools in the most sort of vulnerable areas for violence and it teaches these skills that you're not just born with.
6:23 pm
cooperation, problem solving, conflict resolution in nonviolent ways. on the other side there was a peace first prize and it's fashioned as a nobel peace prize for young people and we are announcing the first winners next week and these children -- i mean they're not children they're young adults, and they're extraordinary. their stories are amazing. and does that answer the question? >> it actually answers my other question which is who should chelsea have as a running mate. excellent. another favorite of mine. princess. >> my question is for our future president. >> yes. >> i hear. >> and running mate. >> beth of both words from your parents, and we have 100 million jobs that we need to create, young people who are between the ages of 15 and 29, unemployed in
6:24 pm
the arab region, the highest number that need to enter the labor market. the question is what if we end up in the world where most young arabs are unemployed. where do you see this being in that position representing the clinton foundations, cgi, and where do you see this as future leader to america, i hope. >> well, no pressure, chelsea, but you're about to save the entire arab world. off you go. >> i'll speak to it after you go. >> peggy, you go first. >> please. >> part of it is creating new prophysicians. like what we're doing in kenya is within the school -- the public school system, there really isn't a position for teaching assistance, so we get our young people between the ages of 15 and 29 to go and volunteer and work as teaching assistants and over time it becomes evident that their service is valuable, then people
6:25 pm
will begin to pay for the service. so it's finding gaps for our current systems so young people will begin to get employed. >> i think we need to have civil society, the government, and the private sector working in concert together and think we need to invest in women so i think it's figuring out, you know, what should we expect the private sector to do that really is in their own interest, what should we expect the public sector to do particularly at the local levels, particularly the sub national levels and where do we need civil society to fill the gaps, to help people reenvision their lives, help set some of the norms and expectations for little girls and little boys so that hopefully we don't have tense of millions of unemployed arab young people in the years ahead. that's not good for their world. that's not good for us. >> chelsea clinton and peck peggy and america, thank yo very much indeed. and ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming. you were terrific.
6:26 pm
6:27 pm
6:30 pm
what's in coca-cola. it's one of the long lost secrets. he joins chelsea clinton on talking business in america and what it will take to get the economy back on track. the key issue it seems, talking to almoster that i've talked to, the unga and also the cgi is jobs, jobs, jobs. dwlou get this situation of this younger larger population around the world in to work especially when their skill base, perhaps, isn't quite what it needs to be to work for someone like coca-cola? >> it begins with growth. you know, you've got to find ways in today's environment first on a micro basis to crack the calculus for growth. continue to crack the calculus for growth and when you can grow, you can invest and when you invest you can hire.
6:31 pm
every year we add thousands of jobs. >> how many tons of coke do you sell a year? >> we get invited into people's living about 1.8 billion times day. >> a day. >> day. that's about 3,000 products. >> how many people -- i always wanted to ask you this. how many people know the exact final recipe with all ingredients for coca-cola? >> there are a few. >> how many? >> we don't always travel together. so you've got to keep on growing. and then the other thing that i -- we as a company just to bring it back to reality, what we do, is we try to connect your passion points as a company, as a business, to creating jobs outside of your four walls. what do i mean by that? we are very passionate about
6:32 pm
water. we have a goal for being water neutral by 2020. we respect water and create an awareness to respect water. so we're creating -- we've now launching a commitment here at cgi to create new machines that make a thousand liters of sterile water out of any water, sewage, arsenic, any water. we're putting these kiosks out and manning them with young entrepreneurs, young women entrepreneurs. so it gets connected through the golden triangle to connect jobs. >> that's interesting. john, you have the same, don't you? >> i think it was chelsea and america, one of your panels earlier who said it best. they said to get employment going back especially the youth and get it on a gender basis, you have to have the tools which is the internet and broadband.
6:33 pm
you combine those two. that's how you put youth around the world back to work. you've got do it on a large scale. do network acamis that help people install equipment. start it with a small scale. today we have 1.25 million students around the world in these academies. they're much more likely to get higher paying jobs or go on with their education. >> let me ask chelsea a question. these multinational global companies, in particular someone like apple who had the most extraordinary few days over the sales of the iphone, people are going crazy for it. i'm a blackberry guy standing firm. >> good luck with that. >> i'm a blackberry man standing firm. apple is still outsourcing maybe 90% of their work force to china or wherever it may be. is there a moral capitalism ahead where american global companies should bring more jobs
6:34 pm
back to america? >> well, i think both muhtar and john are examples of a moral capit capitalism this their own stories that they just relayed, whether it's coca-cola's clear commitment to clean water because i imagine whatever the secret ingredients are in the super secret recipe, water is one of them. you know, i think that that commit meant are will likely -- >> he didn't even flicker. did you see that. >> no. he was very cool. he didn't even confirm water. that is cool. >> wow. you'd have been a great james bond villain. >> i think that is a more durable sustainable commitment for coca-cola as a company not only because of muhtar's leadership but because of its clear connection to at least what i presume is a core necessary ingredient in coca-cola. >> nice assumption you're making.
6:35 pm
you'll find out when you become president. >> i don't know. >> you, the pope, and the queen of england, and him. >> enviable company for anyone. >> let me ask you because it is a serious issue, isn't it? >> for us we're such a local business everywhere. we operate more than a thousand factories, piers, across seven countries, so that doesn't apply to us, but think the key is what can we do in every country where we operate to continue to create employment opportunities both inside the four walls of the company but also outside by the multiplier effect. >> we as a country are invested in our young people so that muhtar and john want to employ them in the future. >> right. >> and i mean investment wholistically. in our 30-some-odd,000 high schools, only 6,000 of them have computer science program sthoos which is ridiculous. >> which is ridiculous. >> let me ask a question -- >> before you jump in, i want to
6:36 pm
follow up on that. >> go ahead. general, stand ease. >> this is the first time i've ever overruled you. >> nobody's overrun me for a long time, by the way. >> corporate social responsibility is a must for the future of capitalism. if we don't, we're going to be on the outside looking in. watch cisco for example. we're the only large corpings in high tech that still has been around for 25 years and has the majority of our employees in america. >> wait, piers. general -- >> stand down. >> we'll get to you. >> you would make a good leader here, chelsea. we're going to get along fine. >> i think we already get along fine. >> oh, piers. >> oh, chelsea. >> we could have a comedy retune here. >> i think we already do. it's important that people understand this isn't just rhetorical. i mean john and i were in a conversation and ceo after ceo from multiple different indices,
6:37 pm
multiple services, consumer products have consistently seen those that are most engaged with our social responsibility programs are those we promote faster, stay longer, are our future leaders. it's not only morally the right thing to do it's the smart thing to do zwroo next, game night in the clinton family. do you play board games with your paints like scrabble, and if so, who wins?

6:41 pm
chelsea clinton and the ceoo cisco. she talks about how competitive it gets when she plays board games with her famous parents. we begin with a powerful question from general wesley clark, the formal naval supreme. >> my question is those that come out of uniforms. you know, we never built a volunteer army to fight a sustained war. fwhefr could have imagined we would be in conflict for 11 years, 12 years going on 13 now. but that's what we've done. but we can't keep sending the same men app women back in again and again and again. we're destroying lives and families. so when they get out, they've got have a place in the american
6:42 pm
economy. president obama's talked a lot about it, we've done a lot about it. the department of labor is working on it. know there's dozens and dozens of business initiatives, but are we going to be able to sustain this and are we really getting traction on employment for our young veterans? >> we do have a program, a robust program, 6,000 that we've hired so far in the year we're in now, about more than a thousand. last year was 880. so we do have a program, and, you know, it's so good for the whole organization. what we -- you know, what we've seen is that there's so much positiveness that comes out of bringing in these veterans and training the veterans and putting them to work on a permanent basis and also using programs where we employ veterans on a part-time basis. bridging them in and employing them and then giving them the first right for the next round of employment. >> john, before we get to your
6:43 pm
program and we'll talk about that, there's also this wider issue, isn't there, about an education system that may not be preparing the ultimate american youth well enough for the jobs that are available. how do you deal with that and then also tell me about your program of veterans. >> so the answers are our k through 12 system is broken. all ceos know that. we're not preparing our youth for the jobs of the future. and i think there's no better example than our military. the men and women who have girn so much to protect this country and other countries. millions are coming back. 18% of the young people under 24 years of age who come back, do not have jobs. that should being is unacceptable in our country. we have to mobilize government and businesses working together. not just create jobs but a million jobs for these people. you have to think about how to create programs to prepare them for where the jobs are. general, i had an opportunity to talk to your colleagues. they do a great job on training
6:44 pm
young people but we have to in the last six months of service train them to be able to get job whence they come out. the business has to have the courage to say, we'll work with you. you give them six months of train, we'll give them six months and we'll employ them. but instead of saying how do we get 10,000 jobs. we should say a million jobs. i think we're capable doing that. >> i think -- go ahead, chelsea. >> thank you, piers. we're so happy you joined the clinton foundation team. so many have thouned that the civilian pathway as transition for men in uniform helps them not only be healthier physically and mentally but then be more long-term employable and then to be likely to have long-term employment. so that seems just so clear to me that we would truly invest in americorps and other civilian service opportunities and just
6:45 pm
as john said he believes we can create a million jobs for our young men and women who are leaving our ranks of service, you know, during the great depression, the civilian conversati conversation corps enabled 3 million men who serve order country who would have been largely unemployed. we mobilized this. we know we can do this. >> chelsea, final question. this came to me in the last few seconds, do you play board games with your parents like scrabble. and if so, who wins. >> we're generally a card playing family. we do play some board games. >> which card game. >> pinnacle, spade, hearts. >> deeply competitive, i would imagine. >> deeply competitive. >> who wins. >> thankfully it's an equal distribution, otherwise. >> why do i think you would say that. 33% them. >> cards.
6:46 pm
my mom is the best scrap ler. my dad in bog ler. >> you? >> everyone is equally -- >> what do do you well on? >> traditional board games, b k backgamm backgammon, checkers. >> interesting. i could talk to you for hours. sadly we've run out of hours. to the great audience, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> great job. next, they are the champions. the america's cup winners join me to talk about their extraordinary comeback.

team usa. gentlemen, many, many congratulations on what is being hailed in america as possibly the greatest comeback in the history of american sport. let me start with you, shannon. how does that make you guys feel? >> still on cloud nine. i haven't touched down yet. it was a long night of celebration. and it's actually really good to see the cup in good shape after last night's event with all the support team and the shore and the design guys, all the guys that you don't see on the water but who are integral to the success of the defense of the cup. >> and tom, larry elson said 8-1 is motivated. which is one way of looking at it. when you're-8-1 down everybody thought that was it and you didn't have a prayer. what was the thinking in the
6:52 pm
group of that moment when you were staring a huge defeat in the face? >> i think for me personally when we were down 6-1, we didn't have any boat speed and it felt like we never had a chance. but in the two races we lost after that to go 8-1 down, we actually showed some real glimpses of speed. even though we lost those, two it was very close. as soon as we put a roll on, won a few in a row, the momentum kept building. and they just couldn't stop us. >> joe spoonithill what does it take to win the america's cup especially coming from so far beyond? >> it's a hard slog over three years for us in this campaign. and then to get at the end at the death to get so far behind it made it even harder. as a group, as a team we rose together and really fought back hard. we're all good mates. we get on well. we just took it on the chin and

note background, but dave roberts was the guy that ignited that great red sox rally. he was the one that stole second base. and they came from absolutely nowhere to win. what is your reaction to him bestowing you the accolade there that he did? >> krikey, i don't think for anyone on the team it's really dawned on us what we have achieved. to stand and hear these comments about a great comeback and maybe one of the greatest that certainly sailing has seen but in world sport, it's just incredible. and you know, when you're in the middle of a fight like that and you're trying to get yourself out of the corner, all you've really concentrating on is the next race that's coming up or the next maneuver. but it makes you proud to think that there's people out there that are watching and giving you those sorts of accolades. >> simeon, let me ask you the question which is emerging quite quickly as the elephant in the room here. are any of you guys actually
