That Hollywood wants to stop on my -- piracy.

But Silicon Valley thinks it would handcuffs some of their actions where's the president is gonna decide -- Silicon Valley -- Bollywood.

They're both big donors -- really big donors always gonna catch him off guard if it gets that for his signature because he can't dance with the wives at the same wedding one of them is gonna get a divorce.

America's most valuable exports you're gonna now -- -- and allowed to be stolen IP theft is the same is breaking into -- house and that you chairs and tables.

Well you know what it reminds as the Keystone Pipeline decision because.

On the one hand if he if he goes against the Keystone Pipeline he's he's Macon the the greens are -- the unions very angry.

And if he goes in favor about the unions will be happy but the greens a Bieber and every so.

The problem -- he can't be everything to everyone which which factor which which power source Hollywood or Silicon Valley is more important for him getting elected.

Silicon Valley is the leading edge going up and Hollywood's a kind of a leveling off.

And -- marshaling resources he may lean in that we may lean towards the digital those -- -- percent of all Hollywood or they're not.

That of course are billions more in Silicon Valley then there are in Hollywood these days so so maybe he'll go where the money it's.

The confrontation of -- in like avoid -- and -- give find some way that they keep the argument in the house and the senate ability gets offered up for his signature that would be the best result for him.

It's fascinate you said because it looks like some of that might be going on right now the house kind of punted on the issue today are very quickly another controversial -- -- by the doing politics.

After it last year he made all these jokes about the stars on -- a lot of people felt offended.

You think you'll get away -- again this weekend.

From today offensive television -- you know the idea.

That he could poke fun at people that are high up in the clouds all the -- -- direct the stars and personalities.

I think people like and immature reverend.

It causes controversy prizes -- drama people tune in.

But he may not get the -- -- he got -- and because the product the movie and television isn't as hot this year as it was.

-- you know the only other person has been able to get away with answers -- -- it has -- Don Rickles Don Rickles was able left.

To insult all the Hollywood stars they loved having a mob but somehow what do -- there -- it it seems like it's too close to the truth you know his sense of humor.

Yeah he does he you know he cuts right at the heart and doesn't go for the extremities he goes -- where you live and breathe.

And I think the audience -- need something in these awards shows because it's so much of -- anxiety over all over and over again I agree to Peter -- wonderful to see have a good week.
