everybody good Well, I gotta tell you a little story.
Involves me.
So as you know, I'm going through this prostate cancer situation.
And it's quite a uh journey in which I'm learning many things.
But let me tell you what I learned this week.
So my PSA started to spike again, so I had to went in for a battery of blood tests, because that's you know what you do.
And they give you the results so you can see them online before you've talked to a doctor.
Now, a few times this has caused me some really big problems because I look at the results before I know what before I'm smart enough to interpret them.
So on Friday, uh I looked at the results, and the the test for your liver function was uh I I don't know the exact numbers it's supposed to be, but let's say it was supposed to be under I don't know, under 10 or 50 or something, and it was about a thousand.
Now that would suggest that your liver has died, and you might not be able to get it back, and that might be the end of the game, and so I kept wondering when the symptoms of liver death would kick in.
It took me a few days to get a you know, it was a weekend, so it took me a few days to get an appointment with my oncologist, and so that morning I'm waiting to hear how long I have, because if your liver is completely dead, well, there's not a whole lot of things you into that are very pleasant, right?
So for about three or four days, I was under the belief that my liver was dead, and probably there was nothing I could do about it.
I talked to my uh oncologist by Zoom yesterday, and there were a number of things we needed to talk about, but after we talked about a few things, he had not mentioned the obvious problem that my liver had died, and they the blood test very clearly.
I mean, you don't hit you don't have to be a doctor to look at those numbers and know, oh fuck, um, I'm dead, I'm so dead.
So if I look like I was a little down the last time I talked to you, it's because I believed I would be dead maybe that week, or at least hospitalized forever, or something horrible.
So it looks like he's about done with his comments, and I go, okay, now give me the bad news.
Tell me about the liver.
He goes, Oh, your liver's fine.
I said, No, no, it's not.
I I saw that I saw the blood tests.
I saw it's way out of range.
Um he goes, oh no.
Uh that's a fake positive because of your bone, your bone cancer.
If you have bone cancer, it influences the liver blood test, but not because there's anything wrong with your liver.
Because there was some other blood indicator goes, oh, actually, your lit your liver's improved, it's better than it was last time.
Yeah, there's no problem.
Your liver's fine.
Now, have you ever gone through a turn like that?
Three, four days.
I thought I was dead.
And all I was doing was reading uh a blood test wrong.
It's not the first time I've done that.
It's not the first time, but indeed, my PSA is up, so we'll um one possibility is they'll they'll add or change my testosterone blocking stuff.
Um, so I took a testosterone test yesterday.
Um oh, you want to know the results?
I wonder if I have them.
Who wants to know the results of my testosterone tests?
Because I believe it probably didn't get knocked down as much as it should have from the other drugs.
Um now on steroids, as I mentioned.
So if I start yelling at you, oh I do have I do have a result.
So you're gonna find out in real time.
Maybe except their computers are slow.
All right, testosterone test.
Sure enough.
Let's see how I did.
I'll look at my trend.
Huh.
Oh, I've only done one test.
So the normal range.
Oh shit.
So this is the one time you don't want to be in the normal range, because normal range means you're gonna die.
Because testosterone is basically fuel for the cancer.
So the whole point of the testosterone blockers is to get it you know below the normal range.
And I'm right in the fucking middle of the normal range of testosterone.
Well, that's bad news.
It's 357.
The normal range is 240 to 900.
Oh, wait.
Oh, oh, I do have what?
Yeah.
You know what's funny?
It's I did I did take the testosterone test years ago, 2009.
So it's it's on the history.
So it's telling me that my testosterone, uh, I'm on two very powerful testosterone blockers, and my testosterone is substantially higher than it was in 2009, before I'd had any meds for anything or any cancer.
So my testosterone is actually up.
All right, well, I'm probably dead.
But today's show will be fine because the prednisone is working, so I feel actually better than normal, because the drugs do that.
But uh no, the if you missed the first part, I will um I've got an option now for a different med because these didn't work.
The new med is quite promising, and there's at least one one thing we could try with more testosterone blockers, which I imagine we'll do first.
All right, but enough about me.
I wonder if there's any science in the news that they didn't have to do because they could have just asked me.
Oh, here's some.
Uh, according to Karina Petrova in PsyPost, the ketogenic diet is associated with a 70% decrease in depression symptoms in a new pilot study.
So let me tell you what I know and why they didn't have to do that.
Number one, keto is a low sugar diet.
If you simply stopped eating as much sugar as you used to, you would have more energy.
That's a well-established fact that everybody knows, including me.
And you know what I've been saying, and totally ignored by all of medical science because obviously I can't read blood tests, and uh, I should be ignored on all things medical.
I I recommend that you ignore me on all things medical.
However, I know I already knew the sugar made you tired because you'd spike and then crash.
And my hypothesis, which I refuse to release, is that depression symptoms are a result of low energy, because I know in my life, and every single person I've ever known or observed, when their energy is high, they can find a way to be in a good mood.
And when their energy is low, they very well might feel depressed.
So I'm gonna say it for the millionth time.
I do believe there's a form of depression that is not affected too much by diet.
You know, some real deep depression, the kind that you know you were born with some different structure in your brain.
But I'll bet you that uh 90% of what we call depression or depression symptoms, about 90%.
That's my just my guess, is energy.
Because I have never once been sad and had a lot of energy at the same time.
Never once.
If it happens to you, let me know.
Well, I saw just as I was getting ready to go live here that I think this is true, the ADP uh revised its job numbers from plus 54,000 for the month to uh negative 3,000.
So have I ever mentioned that all data is fake if it matters, if the data matters, somebody's faking it.
If the data doesn't matter, or nobody else is looking into it except you know, maybe one scientist who surprisingly doesn't make any any money from it.
Oh is something missing?
Did I forget to do something?
What can it be?
What could it be?
That's right, people.
Um it's time for the simultaneous sip.
I would never forget.
All right.
Well, welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
You've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that you can't even understand with your tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker chells to style in the canteen junk or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day.
The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous sip, but it happens now.
Go.
That should make angry everybody who fasts forwards through the sip.
Oh, I know you do.
I know you fast forward me too, which is approved.
Well, Zero Hedge is reporting that uh Walmart is removing artificial dyes from its U.S. brands and maybe 30 other ingredients that are sketchy too.
Another win for Maha.
I'll tell you, Maha is one of the brightest lights in the entire country.
Um, there are very few things that make me happier than watching Maha succeed.
Because we're doing all the right things, we got the right people.
We're having the right fights, the right disagreements, the right debates, and things are happening, like real legitimate things.
Now, will some of them have to be reversed at some point?
You know, probably not the food additive part, but maybe something about I don't know, vaccination schedules and something.
Maybe, maybe, but we should still be doing everything we're doing to challenge the accepted standards for all that stuff.
Here's some more possibly backward science, according to the University of Liverpool, leisure activities boosts self-esteem and well-being in teens.
So if they're doing sports or hobbies or something that boosts their self-esteem, back up.
Is it possible that people with high self-esteem are more likely to engage in things which they might not do great at, at least at the beginning.
Yes, it is.
Let me speak uh anecdotally about one experience and see if you could generalize from that.
When I was young, um, I participated in almost every sport.
You know, the there'd be days when you do five sports a day.
Um now, why did I participate in five sports a day?
Was it because I knew I would be awesome at all of those things on day one?
And the answer was no, I was born with high self-esteem.
And I didn't give a shit if you thought I did good at that sport or not.
I just thought I needed the ex the the expertise or the uh experience or the exercise.
And uh I just did it.
And then of course, if I eventually got good at something, you know, like ping pong, I got pretty good at not what you saw in video the other day, but uh when I was younger, I was quite good at it.
So there were some things, tennis, for example, that I got better than average, and I suppose that helped my self-esteem, but the self-esteem was there first.
Um maybe maybe my mother put it into me.
Maybe I was born that way.
I feel like I was born that way.
I I don't feel that somebody else's um opinion of me was making me happier or less happy or more motivated or less I never felt any of that.
From from the minute I was born, I just knew that I was gonna go get the shit I needed to get, and nothing was gonna stop me.
And so I was just born with self-esteem.
So of course I participated in whatever was happening.
Oh, we're playing this today, handball, sure, never done that.
You'll be me, you know, 21 to zero, but I'm all in.
Racquet ball?
Yep, sure.
Everything.
So no, I I think that some of the science is backwards.
Uh ha having good self-esteem might get you on the field.
Um, but then being on the field if you did well, or maybe even if you don't might boost your self-esteem.
So it's sort of a two-way situation, is my guess.
Um DoorDash has been uh testing for a few years now, some autonomous devices.
One of them, it looks like they'll have something for automobiles to deliver uh deliver food without uh human.
But before we see that, um Stanley Tang is writing on X that uh they're introducing dot.
It's a robot that will deliver your food and it will go on bike lanes and roads and sidewalks.
Um it's small, so one-tenth the size of a car, and it can go up to 20 miles an hour.
Now, people are already complaining that oh no, don't put that on sidewalks.
Sidewalks are not for machines, to which I say, well, the machine will probably be uh not looking at his phone like you are.
What would be more dangerous?
A autonomous device on the sidewalk that sees you and adjusts and moves out of your way, or a human looking at their phone and walking down the middle of the sidewalk.
Which do you prefer?
How about two fat people in front of you that don't get out of the way?
What's better?
Well, see, sidewalks are a problem.
Have you ever had anybody in a wheelchair attack you?
I had that experience in San Francisco.
There's apparently there was some well-known wheelchair guy who would literally just run his wheelchair into you and it hurt.
It hurt because it's a wheelchair and it's you know moving into you.
And he was just some bastard that would just target people and wheelchair into them because nobody was willing to call the police on the wheelchair guy, including me.
Yeah, I just I just took it and moved on.
Anyway, I'm not too worried about the DoorDash robot, but uh it won't be completely smooth sailing, but I think they have to get there eventually.
Gotta do it.
Open AI has released a list of work tasks.
It says chat GP can already do uh in replacement of human activity.
Now, apparently open AI is sort of uh trying to walk this fine line between scaring you that AI will take all your jobs and then reassuring you that it will allow you to keep your job but do it better.
So I think this is along the mode of telling people that some of their tasks might go away, but you might still need the person to oversee the task.
So they're not going so far as to say, here's a whole bunch of things that uh these people will lose their jobs.
It might be just their jobs will be different.
They got 44 occupations and whole bunch of tasks.
And I think this.
Um, I think that the permanent situation will be you need a human to closely watch almost everything the AI does.
And you can't get you can't get rid of the human because the LLM AIs, the ones we use, are prone to hallucination, and you really can't have anything in the workplace that you're responsible for that could be a hallucination.
You can't do that even once.
I mean, that would be terrible for your career.
So I'm gonna say that um what AI would like you to believe is that getting really, really close to being completely able to do a human's job means that if you just wait a little bit longer, it's gonna close the gap, and then for sure it'll be able to do the human's job without intervention.
I'm gonna say no.
I'm gonna say that the closest you can get is somewhere around where we are, which is you can't trust it.
I think can't trust it is its cap with current technology, and I'm not aware of any technology that would change that.
So I'm not worried really much at all about losing jobs to AI.
Um, I think the nature of jobs will change a lot, and the nature of you know life will change a lot, but I don't know about jobs.
It doesn't seem to me that you know there's some straight line from where we are now to fewer jobs.
I just don't see it.
All right.
Umitry, which is another humanoid robot outfit you hear a lot about.
Um, it was discovered according to interesting engineering, a therva Gustafi is writing, that uh these robots are built with a Bluetooth connection, which is just a convenience for helping you hook your Wi-Fi up to your robot.
Now the Wi-Fi may have its own you know, security issues, but apparently the Bluetooth feature is very hackable, and on top of that, they discovered that the unit free robots send data back to China every five minutes.
What it sends data to China every five minutes.
Now, presumably, if you looked that that data, it would be necessary data for making the robot work or work better, something like that.
I assume something like that.
Uh, but uh just imagine the risk that you could hack it through the Bluetooth, and it's already sending data to China, so and it could affect other infect other robots that are in range of its Bluetooth.
So that's not ideal.
Now it's good that they found it.
I'm sure they'll figure out a way around it.
Uh all right.
Uh there's CBS News had an article.
I saw a post on it on X. Uh said, meet the man behind one-third of what's on Wikipedia.
And I thought to myself, well, that can't be true.
It can't be true that one person is writing one-third of the articles or editing one-third of the articles on Wikipedia.
But he is.
There's one guy.
And the funniest thing about it is the guy looks exactly like a popular meme.
I don't want to be unkind, but you can't overlook the fact that he looks exactly like one of the most popular memes.
You know, there's a cartoon guy that is just a little heavy and he's got, you know, a humorous face.
This guy looks just like the meme.
It's awesome.
But, you know, I have to admit, on one hand, it's probably bad that there's one person who has that much influence.
On the other hand, how impressed are you that he was smart enough to write a third of the articles on all manner of different topics and the other editors allowed them to be published?
Meaning that other editors thought, yeah, that looks accurate to me.
That is really impressive.
If you're wondering what is the upper limit of human ability, well, I would look at this guy.
Whatever he does, his human ability of writing and understanding and uh absorbing new information.
I've never seen anything like this.
I mean, if this news is true, that he wrote or edited one-third of the articles on this.
I I don't even need Wikipedia.
Can I just have this guy's you know DM?
Can I just DM him and ask him if I have a question?
Skip the middle man.
Well, the government is officially shut down because they can't come up with a budget.
And now you're probably thinking to yourself, Scott, who's right and who's wrong on this budget stuff?
Is it the Democrats who are lying about what they're asking for?
Or is it the Republicans who are lying about what the Democrats are asking for?
Have you noticed that both sides are very obviously lying?
Now, lying by omission more than lying by commission, but probably a little lying by commission as well.
Now, would you agree with me that uh the Republicans, all of them, all of them, are absolutely full of shit about what they're claiming the Democrats are asking for?
And would you agree that what the Democrats say they're asking for is absolute bullshit?
They're both lying.
Am I right?
Would you agree with me that they're both lying so obviously?
Right.
Now, here's the trick.
This is a this is a trick I learned from my old boss at Pacific Bill.
If you know that both sides are lying about a spending, the decision is easy.
That that's your decision.
Both sides are lying.
So the answer is you don't give them a fucking penny.
You got that?
If both sides are lying, you don't give them a fucking penny.
That's that's the rule.
This one's easy.
This is the easiest rule ever.
You don't know to need to know the details, you don't need to know anything about the national debt, you don't need to know what their plans are for the you know next phase of negotiations.
You don't need to know what they lied about.
You don't.
All you need to know is both sides are lying.
Fuck you, not a penny more.
That's it.
Now that happens to you know be to the benefit of Republicans, but I'm not I'm not giving the Republicans a gift here.
They're lying too.
It's just if you can't do your job and you can't even tell us the fucking truth, maybe you don't get a penny.
Now I learned this trick, a version of it, sort of the cousin of it from my old boss, now deceased, uh, from Pacific Bell.
He was a staunch Republican, and he would vote in all the all the elections, especially the local California ones.
And I would say to him, how do you really understand all these um what do you call it?
These uh the thing, what do you call it when you put something on the ballot that the voters can vote for the law or the regulation directly?
That's called a you know what it is.
Anyway, so I would ask him, how do you understand all of these things on the ballot?
I mean, I could I can understand how you might figure out which candidate you want, but how do you the uh what are they called?
Referendums, propositions, propositions is what I was looking for.
But I said, how do you understand all these propositions?
That's what in California they're called propositions, uh but referendum would be a descriptive descriptive uh for it.
And here was his answer.
What do you think his answer was?
Staunch Republican, how do you understand all of these different propositions?
Like whether, you know, you do you can read about them, but you can't really believe everything you read.
So how do you even vote?
And he looked at me and he said, I vote against everything they asked me for more money, and I laughed at him.
I laughed.
I go, God, that's that is so that's so dumb.
I mean, I didn't say that because I liked him.
He was a very smart guy.
Uh And I was thinking, God, what what a terrible technique?
You just vote against everything that costs money.
And then I would say, all right, but what about you know, if it's this or that?
And I would mention something that you would think anybody would want to spend more money on.
And he would look at me and he would say, they already have enough money.
They can cut their budget somewhere else.
And then I looked at him and I said, damn it.
That's the smartest thing I ever heard in my life.
That was the wisest, cleanest uh political opinion I have ever heard.
No one has ever beat that opinion.
They have enough money, they can get it from somewhere else.
And that was it.
He never had to look at the proposition details.
He said, if you think it's a good idea, go nuts.
Just don't get the money from me.
I'm done.
So that's what I'm that's what I'm doing with this.
If you guys can't agree, that's fine.
Shut the government, keep it closed.
If if the government can't do the most basic job of government, well, it needs to go away.
It needs to completely just go away.
We'll find something else.
I guess we'll find something else, maybe a dictator.
But we're not going to put up with this.
So if you guys can't agree and all you're doing is lying about it, no money for anybody.
No money.
Easy decision.
Well, AOC, who I remind you, should not be underestimated.
Something I've been saying since she first emerged.
And so many of you said, Scott, you're so wrong, because just listen to her.
Listen to all these dumb socialist things.
She's a bartender, she's no politician.
And I kept saying, don't underestimate her.
She's got the game.
She's got the goods.
And she proved it again.
Now, and I'll say the obvious again.
It doesn't mean I agree with her, blah, blah, blah.
She's just talented.
Just genuinely talented in this domain.
And uh Brad Art News is reporting that uh she was on some show and she uh she denied that Chuck Schumer might be forcing the shutdown for his own political benefit, because he would be worried that AOC might try to primary him.
And uh apparently AOC's answer uh was uh that um my office is open and uh you you're free to walk in and negotiate with me directly.
So that she's she gave a message to the Republicans without really saying that she would or would not primary Schumer, kind of glosses over that again, don't underestimate her, and instead says, hey, no, you you Republicans can come to my office, my office is open, you're free to walk in and negotiate with me directly.
Now, do you see how damaging that is to Schumer?
She basically just took his job without an election.
All she had to do is point out that he's not doing his job, but she'll do his job.
You just have to walk in my office, doors open, just walk in and I'll I'll do Schumer's job for him.
Now, could she?
Well, she doesn't have the authority, but suppose she worked out an agreement with the Republicans and then made it public.
Could she embarrass Schumer into taking it?
Maybe it doesn't have to be a hard yes, it only has to be maybe.
And suddenly you're thinking of her as the speaker or the the minority leader, uh, just because she put that in your head.
Now do you understand why I say don't underestimate her?
This was purely brilliant.
That was just brilliant.
Yeah.
So we'll see where that goes.
I don't think any Republicans are gonna boost her by going into her office, but the fact that she put that frame out there is just kind of perfect.
Umkeem Jeffries, you know what I'm gonna talk about.
So I think you all saw the uh the Trump meme that he sent around.
He didn't make the meme, but he sent it around.
And it was uh Hakeem Jeffries talking, but somebody put a uh with you know some AGI or something, they put a Mexican hat and a fake Mexican mustache on him, and I think they had some mariachi music playing in the background, but that might have been a different meme.
And they just had him, you know, talking like a clown, basically.
But so that that became one of the big stories, and when he complained, he complained and said it was uh deeply racist because they put a Mexican hat on him.
What is Trump do?
He sends around another meme with yet another Mexican hat on Hakeem Jeffries, except it's even funnier.
And then people complained, and what does Trump do?
He sends around a third meme with Hakeem Jeffries with the same hat and mustache, but now there's a mariachi band playing behind them, but all of the players of the mariachi band are Trump.
Oh so we've gotten to the point where calling uh a Republican racist is gonna get you the hat.
You know, maybe not always the hat, but treating you as a clown for even going down this stupid path of racism, is gonna get you the clown treatment.
And and if you complain about getting the clown treatment, guess what happens?
More clown treatment.
And if you complain again, guess what happens?
More clown treatment, and it gets funnier every single time.
Absolutely hilarious.
But to be fair, to be fair, these these are comic exaggerations about Hakeem Jeffries, right?
They're comic exaggerations, so you can't take it seriously.
I mean, it's not like he's an actual you know incompetent clown or anything, right?
Uh well, Abby Phillip on CNN uh asked them this question of Hakeem Jeffries.
Once the government is shut down, which it will be in two hours, she said yesterday.
How do you get out of this?
How do you get out of this?
So thank goodness he's not some crazy clown, because you know he's got a serious question of great importance, so he'll give a serious answer.
He said the GOP is in charge of the Congress.
So it's up to them.
Uh Hakeem, are you really leaving up the part where the GOP can't do a thing without 60 votes, and they've only got 50, whatever, and they need I think nine, uh, maybe nine votes from the uh Democrats, which they're not getting.
Uh so to prove he's not a clown, he went on TV and lied.
He just he just left out the most important thing.
The most important thing is they need 60 votes, they can't get it without the Democrats.
And he says that, oh, the G O GOP is in charge of the Congress, so you know, why don't you talk to them?
That is the most incompetent clown-like answer you will ever see.
Absolutely incompetent.
The the other thing that uh I'm positive that Hakeem is uh blind to is something I've been telling you for a long time.
You know, if you live in California, you're you're always immersed in Hispanic culture.
Um, and I'm here to tell you I like it.
Like if you actually, you know, if you become, let's say, saturated in or immersed in the culture, you're gonna like it.
They're they're the most American people you'll ever see.
I know you hate it when I say this, but whether they have legal or illegal status, they're the most American people you're ever gonna see.
They love their God, they love their family, they they do hard work and willingly and enthusiastically, they are excellent people.
Um, but you know, we do have to have a we we do have to have border controls, that's just a separate topic.
But the people, by and large, are really excellent people.
Uh, one of the things I like most about them is they are not woke at all.
If you were to show that meme to I don't know, 10 randomly chosen Mexicans, uh, do you think they'd be insulted?
Not a chance.
No chance.
They would either think it was funny or they would think it wasn't funny.
But do you think that they would spend even one second complaining about the racism of it all?
No.
No, it just wouldn't even occur to them.
It just isn't important.
It's not my family, it's not my God, it's not my job.
I don't care.
You want to put a put a Mexican hat on somebody, laugh at them?
No problem.
I I see some wildly racist things in the comments.
I guess I can't cure you all.
Um, but just take my word for it.
If you had if you were immersed in the community, you would have you would have a higher opinion.
All right.
Uh the other thing.
One of the memes referred to Hakeem Jeffries as a dollar store Obama.
Now I would say that's not racist, but it is racial.
It is possible to make a joke that involves race that is not racist.
I think this is a perfect example.
I don't think that's racist.
I I think it's obvious that people's color has some impact on whether they get elected.
Everybody agrees on that.
Or they also call them uh Timo Timo Obama.
To me, that's just funny.
Uh, then apparently uh Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer were in the Oval Office to try to see if they could do last minute negotiations yesterday about the budget, and uh nothing important happened, of course.
And uh Trump apparently had some uh Trump 2028 hats prominently displayed on the on the Oval Office desk.
So all the all the cameras would make it look like they had that Jeffries and Schumer have to look at them.
There was a there was a story that he gave them the hats, but that didn't happen.
I don't think it happened.
Well, you may have seen the uh Pete Heggseth clips and uh the meeting of the generals and admirals.
Now we're told that the reason that they were collected there is for the purpose of what they were told by you know uh their Secretary of War, PX, and uh later also by uh Trump.
But uh I'd like to inject my own conspiracy theory into the mode, okay.
Imagine if you will, that the U.S. was preparing for some major military action, maybe against the Venezuelan cartels, maybe uh maybe against something else.
Now, would they would they give up, would the world know what we were planning if the only people who got invited were the the most directly involved with whatever that military action would be?
Because they're they're different leaders for different parts of the world, different theaters, right?
So if you only invited in all the leaders from one theater, then people would say, oh shoot, something's gonna happen over there, and then maybe they can prepare for it, and we wouldn't want that to happen, especially if we decide not to do it, you know, you don't want to cause a whole thing.
So is it possible that although there were you know genuine reasons to have the meeting that we saw, then maybe it was the only way they could disguise that they were planning some action against one part of the world and they didn't want to signal which part it was, right?
And I and I ask you, do you think that communications that are military communications are sufficient that if we just said, well, you don't all have to come here, we'll just send you this top secret, secret, Top secret encrypted, double encrypted, triple encrypted military encrypted thing, and everything will be fine.
But we all know that stuff leaks, you know, and we could suspect that maybe some adversaries have access to it.
The only thing you could really do is bring in the top people and put them in a secure room, like a skiff, and just say, all right, guys, you know, don't tell anybody yet, but make sure you guys are operationally ready for some action that's coming.
All right.
If they didn't do that, and yet they are also planning a military action, well, they did something wrong, because that's the way they should have done it.
They should have disguised it as an all-hands meeting and then secretly pulled off the subset of people when nobody's watching, and say, all right, you guys, you know, you 20 people come this way.
That's what I think.
Anyway, we'll see.
Um, but uh, so the uh things that Hag Seth mentioned, uh, I kind of liked.
I liked it a lot, actually.
He he was uh telling the generals and the admires uh that uh the military is gonna get rid of wokeness, uh, no dudes in dresses, no no fatties in the military, including the generals in the hallway, no more emphasis on climate change, only emphasis on lethality and effectiveness and professionalism, basically.
Uh I like it.
And uh Trump mentioned getting rid of uh when he talked, getting rid of political correctness in the military.
He says the purpose of American military is not to protect anyone's feelings, it's it's to protect our republic, correct.
Um, I would say that I was skeptical about the value of this all hands meeting, but I'm not now.
I I thought uh Hag Seth did a stellar job.
I thought he did a really good job.
Uh he uh got rid of the beards and the beardos, he called them the beardos.
Uh so anyway, uh good job, Pete Hagseth.
Then the president spoke, and I'm gonna echo something I believe Steve Bannon noticed too.
Trump looked um dangerously tired yesterday in at least two different events.
Now, he has a right to be tired because he's doing about four jobs, and you know, I've never seen anybody work harder, but it's unusual, it's unusual to see him that tired.
It won't it makes you wonder if he's taking on too much, maybe he's not getting enough help from his staff.
That's what Steve Bannon was suggesting.
Maybe maybe people need to step up, give the guy time to take a nap.
Um, I think this is good for any president, and and Trump, of course, is famously the highest energy president.
Well, Clinton was pretty high energy, but uh, you know, nobody nobody doubts his energy in general, but he looked like he looked like maybe he was I don't know, coming down with something, or he lost some sleep recently over something.
I don't know.
Uh, but I am worried about him.
Um, and if if all it is is exhaustion because he's taking on so much.
Well, I act like that's nothing.
Um, I guess that would be the best case scenario if it's just you know he's taken on too much, but uh keep an eye on that.
I'm I'm concerned for his uh his health and safety at this point.
Um MSNBC as troublemakers, they have found the highest point in my office on top of some equipment.
Don't break anything.
All right, MSNBC is a number of people notice is back to calling Trump Hitler, or at least some of their guests are.
Um they don't like the fact that Trump referred to the enemy within, which is all the the wokeness stuff is the enemy within.
Um, and he wasn't he wasn't uh making a big deal about diversity being a value, might actually be a disadvantage in the military.
Certainly, you don't want too much diversity of opinion in the military.
You kind of need everybody to do what they're told.
So MSNBC learned nothing.
Still a bunch of Hitler stuff.
And other big news, although it might take a while for this to be implemented.
So the White House has announced that they're going to have a website for selling uh pharmaceutical products.
Not all of them.
It'll be a limited number.
First, it would be only Pfizer products, and not all of them, just a few of them.
And you would be able to buy them directly on that website and bypass the middle people.
So you'd save money by bypassing the middle people.
Now I think that means that Pfizer still gets their full profit.
I have a lot of questions about this, so don't believe what I say yet on this topic.
It seems to me that we don't know if Pfizer took any hit, because maybe they just agreed to be on this website, you know, primarily so that uh the middle people lose their profit, but not Pfizer.
But there is at least one category that uh prescription Medicaid drugs.
Um, I guess the prescription Medicaid are the only ones that are going to be on this as at the beginning.
Um Medicaid, but not Medicare, right?
Why Medicaid but not Medicare?
I don't know.
Seems like the argument for one would be the same as the argument for the other.
And anyway, um, but uh Chris Klump, who was uh, I guess in charge of putting that deal together, says it's the first of many deals.
So I guess what we'll find out is uh how much this grows, how successful it is.
Um it's gonna take a while for this to be implemented, and uh we'll we'll see if it has any impact on uh Mark Cuban's business selling uh lower cost uh meds.
Um initially it might actually be positive because any any pressure you put on the pharma companies and any efforts to lower their costs probably works for everybody who wants to do the same thing, and uh and Cuban has a several year head start and doing that kind of business.
So we'll see, and why wouldn't it be available on the government website, but also on the Mark Cuban uh business model?
Is there a reason that Pfizer wouldn't make the same deal available to both?
I don't know.
A lot of questions.
We shall see.
Well, pollster Frank Luntz uh was on CNN and probably didn't give them the answer that they wanted.
So there's a new poll um that says that Trump is losing quite a bit of support among uh groups that put them over the top, like Hispanic voters and voters under 30.
And uh, I think Lunz was supposed to say, oh, now that Trump has lost all this support of these subgroups, um, you know, it's it's bad news for the midterms.
Instead, he said, quote, about Trump, he should be concerned about it, and the Democrats should be concerned because their numbers have dropped even further.
So the right answer is, yeah, Trump lost support in a couple of groups, but not as much as the Democrats lost overall.
Uh, and he even predicted that if you looked at history, the Democrats should um take control of the House in the midterms.
That would that would be based on history, that would be the typical most common normal thing that could happen.
But he says, uh, if he asked me who was in a better position, talking about the midterms, I would say to you that history says the Democrats should win.
But based on where things stand right now, you have to give Republicans the edge.
Do you know How bad your party has to be for you you to lose the midterms when the party out of power pretty much automatically wins the midterms.
I don't know.
So I'm not uh yet going to say that Republicans have a lock on the midterms, because I don't believe that's the case.
Uh this really looks like a coin toss to me.
I believe the Republicans could do well.
That doesn't mean they will.
And I believe that Democrats could do well because it's not a presidential race, and the Democrats will just say, I like Democrats.
Well, maybe, and if more of them go, if the Republicans don't show up, anything could happen.
Well, here's a delicious little story.
Black Lives Matter is suing a Soros backed uh group called Tides, Tides Foundation, because they think that the Tides Foundation had promised them 33 million dollars that is not being distributed.
So the lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday.
Uh I guess there's some other things happening that raise the stakes.
So that it's just funny that Black Lives Matter doesn't trust Soros organization and the Soros organization doesn't trust them, apparently enough to give them more money.
Uh so they're blaming uh accused the Tides Foundation of alleged deceptive business practices and egregious mismanagement of its money while demanding its its return.
Okay.
So how much did you love that story?
That Black Lives Matter is suing a Soros funded organization.
All right.
Um here's another story you might appreciate.
You may or may not know that the ADL um had on their website uh criticism of uh I guess Charlie Kirk and also uh Turning Point USA, but they got a lot of pushback from uh influential people, Elon Musk and Donald Trump were mentioned.
Um I'm reading uh Joel Pollock's story in Breitbart about this, and apparently the Anti-Defamation League uh deleted uh an entire part of their website called the Glossary of Extremism, because there was something on there that was sort of anti-TP USA, and uh the Jewish insiders reporting this.
It says, under oppression from Elon Musk and Donald Trump and prominent right-wing activists, in the wake of the assassination of Charlotte Kirk, the anti-defamation league is removing its glossary, blah, blah.
But um the data the database had identified over a thousand terms relating to extremist ideology.
Uh, so they got rid of that.
Um an ADL spokesperson confirmed that they removed that glossary, and it does not consider uh TPUSA turning point to be a quote extremist group.
So they don't have that there, but there was more.
They also had a backgrounder page on Turning Point USA, which remains there, but they've edited it.
So the original version said uh Kirk has created a vast platform for extremists and far-right conspiracy theorists to speak and attend his uh annual America Fest and other events sponsored by them.
So their backgrounder was that it's a it's a big platform, and there could be some extremists uh who are attending.
The new version adds that Kirk himself publicly condemned such groups, yeah.
That seems like that would be important to include he publicly condemned such groups, insisting that they did not represent TPOC and their beliefs.
So, and now it also their page also includes the fact that Kirk spoke out against anti-Semitism and in defense of Israel.
Okay.
Um, I call that a step in the right direction, but I do not forgive or forget the ADL because I um I think they put a stain on Jewish Americans, they put a stain on America and they put a stain on Israel.
And I don't think they have a good reason for existing at the moment.
If your only point of existing is to be the moral judges and say these people are bad and these people are good, you'd better be really fucking good at it.
You know what I'm saying?
If if your job is to destroy people and destroy organizations, but only if they're bad, you better be really fucking good at knowing who's good and who's bad, and you're not.
You're not.
If you can't learn to be fucking good at it, you should go out of business.
Nobody should give them a penny.
Now, um, I told my uh locals followers before the the regular show here that uh for health reasons I'm temporarily on some steroids.
Uh if any of you remember what happened to me with the last time I was on uh Prednozone, this is not bread and zone, but it's a different steroid.
Um I get pretty aggressive.
I might curse a little bit more, if you don't mind.
Does anybody mind if I get it a little more aggressive than usual?
No, you don't mind.
And then I said to myself, after hearing that the BLM was after Soros and the ADL was um really just a stain on America.
Um I wondered what does the ADL think of BLM?
Do you ever wonder that?
What does the ADL think of Black Lives Matter?
So I went to Grock and looked it up, and apparently it's complicated.
Uh they're all in favor of the sort of general concept of it, you know, that everybody's important and black lives matter, and um, you know, they don't like uh police, excess police actions, and you know, just sort of the ordinary stuff that most people would say, oh yeah, that makes sense.
But they are not in favor of you know all the leaders.
Some of the leaders have embarrassed themselves and they're not supporting that.
Um, but did you know that the ADL promotes BLM in its curricula?
Did you know that the ADL has created a curricula that it provides the schools to uh help educate children?
So apparently part of that curriculum promotes Black Lives Matter.
So a 2021 lesson plan for high school students uh teaches that the history of this is from Grok, that the history of Black Lives Matter analyzes a controversy about using the term all lives matter.
Okay, I don't need to say anything about that, do I?
Um blah, blah, blah, blah.
And the ADL tweeted back then, uh it's Black History Month.
Show high school students how they can raise their voices to create positive change.
Our lesson plan on Black Lives Matter is a great place to start.
So I would say the ADL and Black Lives Matters have tied their futures together, and uh that makes sense because both of them should disappear from America forever for the better.
Anyway, there's that.
Um so the ADL, whose job is it to know who's good and who's bad, thought uh the Christian uh the Christian approach of turning point USA was bad for reasons, and that Black Live Matters was mostly good, you know, a few bad actors, but mostly good for reasons.
And the ADL's job is to know who's good and who's bad.
Uh if I made my case, nothing else to say about that.
All right, uh Candace Owens continues to be entertaining.
Let me just say about Candace.
I know she's super controversial at the moment.
Um, I don't think that anybody in the world agrees with everything she says.
Would that be fair?
Like even her closest supporters probably don't agree with everything she says.
So, you know, I'm no different.
Um, But I am uh completely biased in her favor because she is just one of the nicest, warmest people you'll ever meet in your life.
You know, I had the pleasure of meeting her very briefly.
You know, we didn't even chat much, but I've told this story before.
Uh we were both on uh uh a morning show, um, and uh she saw me from across the room while we were waiting for the next hit and ran over to me, opened her arms with this gigantic smile, and just laid a hug on me that I really needed at that moment.
And I thought to myself, I really like you.
I like her because she liked me, and she was so warm and open and embracing.
Anyway, so if something comes up that I really, really don't like about her, I don't know if I'd be honest about it, honestly, because I have such a just a positive vibe.
It's hard to get past that.
I have the same problem with Trump, you know, having spent time with him in the Oval Office just because he wanted to chat.
Um, you walk away with such a positive feeling about the the human being that you you can't really fully you can't really fully untangle that from what you think are their opinions.
It's just hard to dislike somebody like anyway.
So I like Candace.
Um that uh 48 hours before Charlie Kirk's death, he was getting pressure from pro-Israel groups to be pro-Israel.
When at the same time, apparently he had already informed just two days before he was killed, he had informed allegedly.
Now, this is Candace's claim that she knows this for sure.
Um, they had informed uh team uh turning point USA members that he had no choice but to abandon the pro-Israel cause because he was being bullied by pro-Jewish voters.
Now, apparently Candace has challenged TPUSA to deny that that happened, but be direct.
Did he or did he not say he was about to abandon the pro-Israel cause?
Now, if you want to turn that into a conspiracy theory, then everything turns into, you know, Israel is behind every plot and secretly they're plotting.
I don't think that I would uh treat these two th two facts, if they're facts, I don't think I would connect them.
So here would be where I would disagree with Candace.
Um you can just have two facts.
It could be that they were getting some pressure, could be that he was considering changing his approach to it.
At the same time, it could be some crazy guy who just disagreed with everything he was doing, thought he was a hater, decided that was the time to take him out.
So the coincidence probably had more to do with the fact that the opportunity to get a shot from a rooftop just happened to happen around the same time that these conversations were going on.
So I would uh I think it's a fair question.
I th I think Candace deserves a direct answer because she had a she had a very close personal relationship with Charlie Kirk.
She is allowed to ask this question, absolutely allowed to ask the question.
Personally, I don't think they're connected.
Now, at the same time, let me say that I don't support Israel.
I don't support Israel.
The ADL is the big reason that I don't.
It's not the only reason.
But Israel is not my country.
So I've said this before.
I have to say it every time Israel comes up.
You understand that, right?
Even though you've all heard this little thing, I have to say it every time.
Um Israel's not my country.
So when I talk about them, I observe.
Sometimes I predict, but I don't approve.
I I don't tell you my morality or ethical sense should dominate their sense of uh national self-interest.
So if I observe them operating in what appears to be, as far as they can tell, in their self-interest, that's the end of my analysis.
They're operating in their self-interest or they're not.
They're operating in the United States self-interest, or they're not.
Those things are important, and I'll talk about them.
Uh, but um it's not up to me to say it was a good guy.
I I don't think there are any good guys in the Middle East.
There's just power, self-interest.
That's it.
Anyway, um, um apparently the Department of Homeland Security, this is also in Breitbart, Neil Munro is writing about this.
Um, they've exposed massive fraud by migrants in Minneapolis.
So they did a survey of migrants in Minneapolis and found out that 50% of them were involved in some major fraud.
Sometimes it was uh fake marriages, sometimes it was people here illegally, sometimes they were you know working some fraud, like the the healthcare frauds we've heard of recently that are massive, but 50% forged documents, abuse of the H1B, 50% were involved with a major fraud.
So this gets back to how much um how much uh immigration should we have and from where can we finally say out loud without getting canceled, that not every destin uh not every source of immigration is the same.
Can I say out loud now that if we uh if we imported some Europeans, especially let's say Christians, if we imported some Christian Europeans of any color, doesn't matter the color, they could be black or white, but they're Christians and they're Europeans.
Would there be any problem with assimilation?
Probably not, right?
It would probably be instant.
What about uh Mexicans?
Well, here the only the only issue I think is quantity, because they assimilate really well, really well.
The second generation is just full American, and but you have to put a limit on it.
I mean, you can't just say everybody come in because you're really good at assimilating.
If you got too many, then they wouldn't have to bother.
They you know, they'd be stuck in their own communities, might not even learn English, who knows.
So that would be a question of quantity.
But clearly there are cultures that have a different approach to all the things that we hold dear, as in uh if you can steal, should you do it?
There are some cultures in which within the culture, stealing something that you can steal isn't so bad.
And there are some cultures in which doing something bad to a group that to somebody who's not in your group, it's not such a big deal.
For example, some Muslim cultures that might say in the Middle East, not so much here, but in the Middle East, they might say, well, we can we can uh rape those women because they're not Muslim.
Do you want more of that?
Do you want a lot of that in the United States?
Now, I don't know how much of that has already been imported, but not zero, not zero.
We have in fact imported people who probably would say out loud if they felt they could get away with it, oh yeah, you can definitely rape people who are not Muslims, they're not they're not even human, basically.
Yeah, how many of those do you want?
So, likewise, in uh in uh is it Minnesota or Minneapolis.
I always confuse the two in Minneapolis.
Um if it's true that the type of uh immigrants in Minneapolis have a cultural, let's say eccentricity or something different about them that doesn't fit with our culture, and maybe this this fraud stuff might be part of it.
I don't know.
Uh I I just know that if you took a bunch of Christians and a bunch of Buddhists and put them in a room and said, all right, you have the opportunity to do a fraud and steal things and you probably get away with it.
They wouldn't all do it.
You know what I mean?
They wouldn't all do it.
Some would, some would, but they wouldn't all do it.
I do believe that there are cultures, and I don't know which ones, so I won't be more specific, in which most of them would do it.
Maybe because they're not Like you, and they go, Well, we don't owe these you know these American devils anything.
If we can get their stuff, take it.
I don't know if anybody has that view, but if they do, and you know some people do, if they do, you don't want a lot of them, right?
You don't want a lot of those.
So we we're never really honest about immigration.
That's part of the reason it's so hard to deal with it.
But I feel like honesty is breaking down everywhere, even if you're not on steroids like I. All right.
Uh the EU is gonna send uh four billion euros to Ukraine today, but they say uh um that uh they will have to be repaid if Russia ends up paying reparations to uh Ukraine.
What are the odds that Russia is gonna pay reparations to Ukraine?
Is this just the EU being stupid?
Because they don't want to say we're just giving away our money, so they're gonna act like, well, there's one possibility some of it might come back.
Who believes that?
Nobody.
All right.
Also in Ukraine, according to Visigrad 24, uh, there's a major um not Ukraine, but in Russia, there's a major oil refinery.
It's one of the five largest refineries in Russia.
There's no indication it was attacked, but it's on fire.
Uh they're saying it wasn't caused by a drone attack, but I don't know if they would necessarily have noticed it.
No, so as I've said before, the reason that I always talk about the refinery attacks and the refinery fires, is that my estimate is that if you take down Russia's energy economy by 20%, that they'll end up at the negotiating table pretty fast.
You don't have to take 80%.
20% and growing means they're gonna start talking to you real fast.
So I don't know how close we are to 20% or Ukraine is to getting 20% of their energy stuff offline, but I'll bet they're somewhere in the 10% range and growing.
Meanwhile, in uh Germany, Oktoberfest in Munich got closed down because of bomb threats and an actual bomb went off.
And I guess they found uh a backpack with additional bombs has also been found.
You know, I do worry that mass gatherings will just have to be stopped, you know.
Uh I'm still impressed that we can put on major sporting events without an attack.
I don't know how long that will last, but it probably only would take one attack on a sporting event before we say, all right, we're done with these, we're not gonna do this anymore.
I feel like that could happen in my lifetime, and that would be super tragic.
Well, President Trump says he's open to meeting with Kim Jong-un without preconditions, which is exactly the right approach.
Just act like he's our friend, and I would go further.
I would invite him to America to a basketball game.
I would invite him to an NBA game, sit in the good box, you know, have tons of security, have Trump sitting next to him, just watch the game, and just say, uh, we don't even need to talk any politics if you don't want to.
I'm just inviting you over to watch the basketball game.
Would he come?
I don't think so.
I I don't think he would feel safe.
But what would you do?
If if you knew that he had been friendly to you the whole time, Trump, and you knew they could protect you if he wanted to, would you feel comfortable coming to America and being you know essentially at the mercy of American security?
I don't know.
So uh, but it might be it might be worth something just to invite him and let him say no, because imagine if it's your favorite thing and you genuinely don't really feel a risk, maybe.
I mean, just the invitation would be I think valuable because it would just change the way you thought about everything.
Stop thinking about nuclear weapons and start thinking about three-point shots.
Just change change the conversation.
Well, uh, according to the New York Times, um, uh, I guess uh Marco Rubio is uh in charge of working with the opposition groups in Venezuela, trying to get them to overthrow their dictator, Maduro, uh, without the U.S. moving his military in.
What would the U.S. do to help the opposition take over the country?
Well, it's called a color revolution, and they would do the exact same thing that the Democrats did to the Republicans.
They would fund a bunch of fake organizations, so it looked like there was a you know a major, some kind of a major, you know, uh movement on the street.
They would try to bribe the uh the media, but probably the media is firmly under the control of the dictator, so that might not work.
Um, they would uh probably make promises to people, like if you get this done, something good will be coming your way.
Maybe all kinds of CIA dirty tricks to to weaken things and change the narrative, etc.
Do you think that they could pull that off without any weapons being fired?
Well, the answer is, according to Democrats, yes.
It turns out that you can overthrow a country uh just by wandering around without weapons in one of the buildings you're not supposed to be in.
Now we all learned that, right?
In January 6th, we learned that uh a proper insurrection really is just trespassing in one building with no weapons.
So maybe maybe that's what the CIA is doing.
It's like, okay, guys, guys, um, if you really want to run an insurrection, look at the way we did it in America.
We get some unarmed people to wander around and take selfies in a building where they're not allowed to be in.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
This could work.
Uh, wouldn't it be better if you supported us with your intense gigantic military that's right outside our door?
Don't need to.
Don't need to.
All you need to do is trespass without weapons.
Because we know the Democrats have taught us that is how you overtake a country.
The the military won't even act.
You think the Venezuelan military is going to come in and try to remove you?
No, no, they they won't.
Anyway, apparently 70% of the population allegedly voted for uh somebody who's not Maduro, somebody named uh Gonzalez, and so they would try to um try to get people to accept Gonzalez as already the leader and go from there.
Um did a study of five to 11-year-olds in the US and China and found out that uh children's belief that their family and friends would support their pursuit of political leadership as adults, predicted their expressed motivation to become political leaders, specifically president or chairman if you're in uh China.
So the idea was that the reason uh more males than females become presidents and leaders is because they learn very early, between five and eleven, that their parents would support a boy trying to become president, but they would not support a girl trying to become president.
Do you believe that?
Or are you watching the cats behind my shoulder uh seemingly having some kind of uh some kind of sexual encounter, but uh pretty sure it's not.
I'm about 80% sure that's not sexual.
Yeah.
Anyway, do you believe that that's why uh girls don't become uh leaders as often because their parents did not support them when they were between five and eleven?
I don't believe that.
Here's what I believe.
When I was between the ages of five and eleven, um I wanted to be rich and famous and somehow impactful in the world.
But uh my father's advice was to work for the post office.
True story.
He worked for the post office, and he couldn't stop raving about how good the benefits were.
Get a lot of vacation days.
Uh you get a good pension, which he got.
He had a very good pension.
And uh it's hard to get fired.
So while I was born planning to be, you know, something important someday, CEO or something.
Uh my father was guiding me toward the postal arts.
Did it make any difference?
No, no, because I was always ambitious.
I was just born that way.
Didn't it come from anywhere?
I was just born ambitious.
I believe that these five to eleven-year-olds are mostly just born ambitious.
Yes, it's true that the boys might get more you know, more encouragement, but I don't think that matters, because I think that anybody who is so weak that their uh childhood experience told them that they could or could not be president, they're not really presidential material.
You want somebody who is, you know, sits up in the crib and goes, you know, I've only been here a day, but I think I could run this place, like me, like Trump.
Those are the ones that become president, the one the ones who are sure that you can't talk about it.
So I don't believe that study.
But although I I will acknowledge that there's something to it, you know, more encouragement would be better than less.
But how much did uh JD Vance get encouragement to be the vice president, probably the president later?
How much encouragement did he get at home?
Do you think that was the difference?
Is uh addicted mom was saying, Yeah, sure, yeah, you could probably go from poverty to the president.
Yeah, go do it.
Probably not, probably not.
Uh Trump is giving Hamas a yesterday he said three to four days ultimatum to accept the Gaza Peace Plan.
Uh to which I give you this bit of advice.
A deadline of three to four days is a deadline of four days.
There is no such thing as a deadline of three or four days.
That's four days.
Four days deadline.
Forget about the three.
It's funny.
Uh, I think it's funny when Trump talks like that, because it makes you it makes you not be able to turn away from what he said.
If all he had said is, you know, uh deadline in four days, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting or stick in my mind as when he says three or four.
So what's he gonna do on day three?
He's gonna yank it.
I said three or four.
Oh no, no, you thought you had another day.
Look what what I said.
I said three or four days.
This is the third day, so deal's done.
And Hamas says, but you said three or four.
I know, and this is right or four.
Anyway, there's no I think there's no chance in the world that the deal will be accepted.
So I think Israel will just get another free pass to do whatever they think they need to do.
Meanwhile, apparently the uh Israel was using something called Unit 8200, says one of their I don't know, dark arts people or something, but they were using uh Microsoft's uh cloud uh storage to keep all the mass surveillance on Gaza about all their telephone calls.
I guess they had every telephone call, and they were storing it on a Microsoft servers.
And Microsoft, when they found out that's what it was being used for, they said, um, come to my office.
So the uh CEO of Microsoft summoned the head of Unit eighty two hundred.
And uh I don't know exactly what he said, the CAO.
But uh something along the lines of we're shutting this down.
And uh they moved all their data, so they didn't lose they didn't lose their data, they just moved it to Europe or something.
Um good for Microsoft.
Good for them.
Um I think they had more to do with managing their customer base and their employee base than any real feeling about it, my guess is.
But uh it was a right business decision.
By the way, I do have some Microsoft um stock.
Blowing my nose wouldn't help.
I know you're trying to help.
The only time my nose does this is when I do the podcast.
It it won't do this all day.
It'll it'll stop us so I'm done.
And the blowing the nose makes no difference.
It's not like I haven't tried.
I love some of your suggestions.
All right.
How about that Microsoft Word, though?
Stay away from unusual whales today.
Okay, that's an account on X. Okay.
They may be saying something bad about the economy.
That would be my guess.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
And...
Um shall I tell you my uh story that I was going to tell only the locals people?
I think I already told you.
Bill Gates is not a doctor.
All right.
That's all I got for you.
I'm going to uh talk privately to the beloved subscribers on locals.
