   Walter TibbsHank, thank you. I predicted this. As I wrote in chapter four, a bipartisan bill would arrive right on time.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe bill is meant to stop President Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian oil during global fuel shortages.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's called the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.

   Walter TibbsNamed after a president. Classic. As I wrote in chapter seven, you name the bill, then nobody can vote against the name.

   Walter TibbsLaminated index, right here. Chapter seven, page ninety. Very specific.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDoes your book also say the sanctions get lifted?

10. WT

    Walter TibbsOf course. As I wrote in chapter nine, sanctions get lifted, and also they never do. That's the nuance. Forty-four dollars.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth.

12. WT

    Walter TibbsBoth is my brand, Hank. As I wrote in chapter eleven, the only wrong prediction is the one you don't publish.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo whatever Congress does, you were right, and the book is forty-four dollars.

14. WT

    Walter TibbsPlus shipping. Chapter twelve covers shipping delays caused by this exact bill.
