    Hereā€™s the transcript. Itā€™s a rant against electric boats.

    (43:33) So I said, ā€œLet me ask you a question.ā€

    (43:35) And he said, ā€œNobody ever asked this question, and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT,ā€ very smart.

    (43:43) I say, ā€œWhat would happen if the boat sank from its weight and youā€™re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the batteryā€™s underwater, and thereā€™s a shark thatā€™s approximately 10 yards over there?ā€

    (43:58) By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that? A lot of sharkā€¦ I watched some guys justifying it today. ā€œWell, they werenā€™t really that angry. They bit off the young ladyā€™s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was.ā€ These people are crazy.

    (44:14) He said, ā€œThereā€™s no problem with sharks. They just didnā€™t really understand a young woman swimming now who really got decimated and other people too,ā€ a lot of shark attacks.

    (44:22) So I said, ā€œSo thereā€™s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, and water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?ā€ Because I will tell you he didnā€™t know the answer.

    (44:42) He said, ā€œNobodyā€™s ever asked me that question.ā€

    (44:45) I said, ā€œI think itā€™s a good question. I think thereā€™s a lot of electric current coming through that water.ā€ But you know what Iā€™d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, Iā€™ll take electrocution every single time. Iā€™m not getting near the shark.
