What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorClocks fall back at two a. m. Sunday, and the president has posted a senator's cellphone number over it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCBS News reports Mr. Trump took on Senator Tom Cotton over the Sunshine Protection Act, which passed the House three hundred eight to one hundred seventeen. His method was a cellphone number.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith me is life coach Octavian Brisbane. Is this a manifestation issue?
Octavian BrisbaneYes. Absolutely.
Octavian BrisbaneEvery stalled bill is a wish nobody said out loud, and a phone number is just a wish with extra digits. I manifested a five a. m. wake-up last week.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe senator answered that Congress tried permanent daylight time before and reversed it over absurdly late winter sunrises. Is he wrong?
Octavian BrisbaneNo, he's blocked. Look at this sundial. It says Boston sunrise is seven sixteen Saturday, and that's his limiting belief. Manifest it earlier.
Octavian BrisbaneI manifested four-thirty.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSunday it's six seventeen in Boston, according to the National Weather Service. So the sun moves, and you take credit.
Octavian BrisbaneTaking credit is how manifestation works. Quick tip: the bill and the other pending ones expire in early January.
Octavian BrisbaneThat's the universe giving Congress a deadline.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd the universe is on voicemail. Do you recommend the phone number approach?
Octavian BrisbaneCalling is a visualization with a ringtone. I once manifested a four a. m. alarm and woke up at four. Fine, nine. Fine, noon.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou said four-thirty a minute ago.
Octavian BrisbaneThe sundial is indoors, Gloria. It has never once been right. Neither have I.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo the sun moved on its own, Congress did not, and your sundial is still indoors.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Brisbane, you manifested four-thirty, and you could not manifest your own interview.
