Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKelly Clarkson's rumored fifteen million dollar bird has finally broken its silence, in an exclusive for The Hollywood Reporter.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOur guest runs a bunker society, so he has views.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCornelius Yost, founder of the Last Perch Preparedness Society. Is this bird a sign the end is near?
Cornelius Abernathy YostVera, a bird priced like a lake house is the clearest warning we have had. Adjusted for the collapse, that is thirty million.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThirty? The story says fifteen, and it is rumored.
Cornelius Abernathy YostRumored is how every collapse begins. Down here, I keep a lantern in this cage, worth four hundred dollars, adjusted for the collapse, six hundred.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA lantern in a birdcage. And do you have an actual bird down there with you?
Cornelius Abernathy YostI have a flock, Vera. They are very quiet, and they sound exactly like a speaker in the corner.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou're dodging me. Do you actually have a bird down there or not?
Cornelius Abernathy YostI have owned a bird in spirit. And my canned peaches are now worth nine parrots, adjusted for the collapse.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNine parrots.
Cornelius Abernathy YostA parrot talks, so it is the only witness to what rich people say in private. If the end comes, that bird inherits everything.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the bird gets the bunker. What would it say first?
Cornelius Abernathy YostThe price of the lantern, adjusted for the collapse.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, I hear you have a bird of your own to talk about, and I hope it's a Philadelphia Eagle.
