maybe it is time for stephen king to give the political commentary a rest and stick to novel writing. this is $3.5 trillion over ten years they're trying to get through congress and it is already a compromise. bernie sanders said just months ago he wanted and the climate needs $6 trillion over ten years. so if we're looking for a 70% compromise as stephen king suggests we've already cleared that. $3.5 trillion is already less than 60% of what sanders and the left were asking for. but why are we talking about compromising at all? this rhetoric is reflective of the commentary across the entire political and media landscape. those on the left, progressives, are constantly told to be more realistic. just be pragmatic. maybe consider a compromise. but no one ever asks the conservatives, the centrists, the quote-unquote, moderates to compromise or back down. do they? this country desperately needs to tackle climate change. according to new research out this week the northeast of the u.s. is one of the fastest warming areas in the entire northern hemisphere. we've all seen the wildfires, the

progressive democrats this week were crowned the villains by the master of horror himself stephen king who in his new avatar as a #resistant liberal activist tweeted this week, quote, memo to progressives 70% of something is better than 100% of nothing. the electorate is watching you squabble like children in a playground. maybe, just maybe it's time for stephen king to give political commentary a rest and stick to the novel writing. for a start, it's important to remember this is $3.5 trillion over ten years that they're trying to get through congress, and it's already a compromise. bernie sanders said just months ago he wanted and the climate needs $6 trillion over ten years. so if we're looking for a 70% compromise as stephen king suggests we've already cleared that. $3.5 trillion is already less than 60% of what sanders and the left were asking for. but why are we talking about compromising at all? this rhetoric is reflective of the commentary across the entire political and media landscape. those on the left, progressives, are constantly told to be more realistic. just be pragmati

oh, it's stephen king. i have to go. hey, stephen! >> stephen: taylor swift, everybody! i knew it! to get up. a vacation where you don't have to sweat the small stuff, like rummaging for room keys. and a vacation where drinks and wi-fi that's fast and reliable, are all included. because when you're on a real vacation together where you don't have to think about anything, you can finally enjoy everything. come aboard a medallionclass cruise with princess plus. visit princess.com or call 1-800-princess. ♪ ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: hey, everybody! welcome back to "the late show." folks, i spent most of the last year and a half doing the show with no audience or guests besides, of course, my wife evie. but there was one notable exception. back in may, actor/director/emily blunt's husband john krasinski was nice enough to join me in the storage closet. if you ever wondered what it's like to be trapped in a small space with john krasinski, i remember watching "a quiet place." but if you want the same experience with less talking and less ail anydismemberment, look at this. it's

there are a lot of stephen king books in the world, but very few have an autograph.you have the nft, you have the original. it says you have the authentic version. that is what makes it valuable. kristen: is this -- you guys on the end of being a nonprofit hoping to make money, is there some sort of royalty aspects this provides that keeps bringing in money to fund your work? >> i am glad you brought that up. yes. that is one of the things that make and ftes so revolutionary. imagine in the old days, an unknown artist sells a painting for hundred -- for $100, years later it sells for $1 million. that is great for them, but i don't get a penny. with nft's there is a built-in royalty so that any time it is sold you get a percentage. now with my work sells for $1 million i am thrilled because i might get $100,000 or more depending on how high i set the royalty. this is where you will see a lot of creators move into the space. passive income forever. how can people find out more to either be part of the fundraiser or take courses? visit our website streetscode.org. to kn

stephen king has nothing on these turds when it comes to fiction. story was originally from oklahoma quoting a doctor within the northeastern hospital system denied any patients were treated for ods. ended doctor hadn't worked at one of the hospitals in question for months. i haven't seen denial of a strong since the time elton john married a woman. there were absolutely no overdoses related to ivermectin, nor were any patients turned away due to an overload. apart from that detail, the story checked out just fine. at first rolling stone kept pushing the story then ran an updated, no retraction. when i got too big to bury they ran a humiliating correction but not before a pile of liberal mainstream media figures embrace their panjshir. rachel maddow tweeted about it. joy reid who apparently still has a job promoting the story on her show. >> and emergency room in one rural local hometown is overwhelmed by people overdosing on ivermectin, the horse deworming medication. it's gotten so bad gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated. >> greg: gre

darkness of of the essex story had an immediate appeal, but what i didn't, you know, i'm a big stephen king fan and and all that kind of thing, but i really didn't anticipate was how much i would identify with the crew members during the writing of in the heart of the sea and and what was amazing for me was actually once they got into the whale boats as i was writing it. they were in the whale boats sort of during the the winter of the january and february and that was the actual time of the year. i was writing. the book and i had sort of a fantasy that i would write, you know finish that part of the thing when they were, you know, just on the day that they were survived but what i didn't anticipate was how hard it was going to be to write about the situation where you know on pollard's boat. there's four of them left three of them teenage nantucketers. they're all they all know each other grown up with each other pollard is actually related to owen coffin and they've come to the point where they know that if they do nothing. they'll probably all die of starvation but in the custom of the s

"i have a bad teammates." ( laughter ) and so, i then have to tell him they're even worse than you think-- because ichiro, there is no such expression as that.
