ictatorship because people prefer it, because the alternative is being incompetent, having Congress muddle around? Yeah.

Now the problem of course is that if you take it too far, let's say for example this latest bombing attack, let's say that when Trump did it and also when Biden did it, that let's say it was extra-constitutional, meaning the Constitution doesn't quite support this act. But what if the country does? The country might support it and by a majority. So I don't know. It feels like it could be dangerous, but on the other hand I like it when it happens generally. I like it when something happens. So I think I do like our presidents, including Biden, to have some executive order power.

Now the Congress and Rand Paul, and I think Rand Paul is a great asset to the country by pushing back on it, because you don't want the executive orders without the pushback, right? Anytime this happens, even if you like the executive order, don't you have to also like that Rand Paul is pushing against it? You could like both of those things because they work together pretty well. It keeps the executive orders maybe a little bit constrained because there's some pushback, but you still get to do them when they're important. It's kind of perfect.

So thank you to Rand Paul for pushing back, but at the same time I kind of like this. I like this action in terms of national security.

I've told you before that it's handy to have a story of you. Here's the helpful part of my broadcast. You should always have a heroic story of you, which is the sort of the imaginary story you have in your mind of who you are character-wise or who you are capability-wise or who you are basically, just who you are. And I've told you before that my story, and I'm going to add to this in a bit, but the personal story that I keep running as a little loop in my mind and always have is what I call prisoner island.

Prisoner island imagines that there's some island where all the prisoners go and there's no law there. They just are dropped on the island and there's no guards or anything. It's just a prisoner society, so it's pretty rugged there. So I get convicted of something and I'm dropped by helicopter onto the prisoner island. Well, Australia is a little bigger so you know that that doesn't work for my story, but imagine it's a smallish island and all the prisoners know each other and stuff.

Now on day one, if you drop me in prisoner island, how am I gonna do? Not so well, right, because I'm not physically large, et cetera. So the prisoners would beat me up and rape me day one. Day two, prisoners would beat me up and rape me again. Day three, day four are gonna look a lot alike. Beaten up, raped, beaten up, raped. Three or four months go by. Beaten up, raped.

But here's the prisoner island story. It's the story I run in my head. Come back in a year. Come back in a year. In a year I'm gonna run the island and everybody who touched me will be dead. But you have to wait a year. Day one won't go so well. Day two not so good. Come back in a year. They'll all be dead and I'll be running the island. Every time.

Now is that true? No, I just made it up, right? It's just a story in my head. Is it also true that I would fight through adversity? Well, I'm trying to make it true, right? I like to think it's true. But having a story of you is like a program that runs in your head permanently and it can turn you into that by being the story that guides
