ause we know children to be damaged by being kept out of the social school situation. They're not learning as much. They're not socializing right. They're getting damaged. It's real. It's important. But likewise the economy really depends on getting the kids back to school because you've got two parents that can't work at the same time necessarily if kids are there. So the teachers unions have become the biggest problem in the country. And we have a president who's the only one who can't do anything about it. That's a bad, bad situation. He can't even talk about it, right? Can't even talk about it. That's a problem. So keep an eye on that.

On the plus side, if you're following Corey DeAngelis on Twitter you see lots of reports. And you should, by the way. You should follow him, Corey DeAngelis. You'll see him in my Twitter feed if you're looking for him. He reports on various states and localities looking into funding students directly. And apparently there's a lot of movement in that direction. Now I don't know exactly how well that's going to work. But anything that looks like it's breaking the monopoly that the teachers unions have is worth looking at, right? It's worth looking at.

So directly funding students instead of funding the school gives the students who are directly funded at least the option to take their education somewhere else. And then maybe the free market can fix things in a way the teachers unions cannot.

I got a question for you. Is it too late to impeach George Washington over slavery? Because I don't know about you but I am opposed to slavery. Totally opposed. Not even any wiggle room. I can't speak for the rest of you but just for me, no slavery. Totally against it. And George Washington having been a slave owner, I don't think we could let that slide, can we?

Now there was a time when I thought, well what can you do about it? He's dead. It was hundreds of years ago. Yeah, and Thomas Jefferson, that he's got to be impeached. He's got to be impeached. But now that I know you can impeach your president after they're out of office, I don't see any reason you can't impeach them when they're dead. Can you? I'm not aware of anything in our Constitution that would prevent Congress from impeaching a dead president like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. And they did some bad stuff. Slave owners. That's about as bad as it gets, right? Short of a holocaust. Owning slaves has got to be number two on the list of bad stuff you can do.

So I think we need to stop doing the business of the country. By the way, Joe Biden has acknowledged that impeaching Trump will damage the effectiveness of the Congress so that while the impeachment of Trump is going on, the impeachment trial, he acknowledges that they won't be able to do the work of the country as efficiently. But he's okay with that because he says it's really, really important to impeach Trump. It's very important because reasons. It's very important to impeach Trump because he's gonna run for office again. I would think they would be very, very happy to have him run for office again. I would think that Trump plus four years of age, I think they would be happy to have him run for office because it would look like President Harris for sure.

But I think the real reason they say they want to do it is not that. If you ask the Democrats why are you doing it they won't say well we want to keep him out of office in the future because that would sound petty and also sound like not doing their job. It would sound political. So instead they say things like it's very important to send a message. Well if it's important to send a message let's send the message to all of those past presidents who've had some issues we don't like. I feel as if most of our presidents could be impeached.

Do you know what JFK did in the White House? He defiled the White House a little bit. Just a little bit. So let's just say he was doing a lot of defiling in that White House. So impeach him for that too.

And I've told you of course that I'm on another platform called Locals, L-O-C-A-L-S. You can find them just go to onlocals.com. And apparently it's just taken off. Not apparently, it's taken off like crazy. So a lot of people who are looking for some kind of platform where the censorship is not going to be political are going there. And I'm on there and you can subscribe to me. And because it's a subscription service I don't get trolls. So I have a whole other experience on Locals in which everybody who's there wants to be there. They're paying. They're literally paying a subscription fee to be there, seven bucks a month or more if they want to message me. And when people pay to be somewhere they act quite polite. They're happy to be there. So I have this whole other experience where the people are posting interesting things because they came there because of some intersection with my points of view. And so the things they post tend to be extra interesting.

And apparently Locals is taking off and traffic wise it's just on a nice growth right now. Full disclosure, I have a small amount of stock in Locals, just so you know that. Small amount, not enough to change too much in my life.

All right. According to the IEEE Spectrum the only way we're going to be successful in space and getting to Mars in particular quick enough is if we use nuclear engines in our rockets. Now have I told you before that our domestic energy policy needs to have a robust nuclear energy component so that we're developing the right kind of s
