it happened. This poll says it worked. This poll says that the news successfully convinced a big part of the public to switch over into worrying. What was it that made them switch? What persuasion got them to switch? Was it the data? Did people switch sides because of the data? Was it the argument, the facts? Was it the facts and argument and the logic and the science? Was it Greta? Nope. Nope. I…

anized around it. But in 20 years you're just going to be on an electric something, and maybe even your car will be less useful.

I think there's going to be all kinds of changes in housing. I think that the economy will be fine, and I think that AI will not kill us all. I think it will help us. Now there's a risk of AI killing us all, so I mean that's a real risk. We have to manage it. But I think we saw it far enough in advance.

E-bikes made in China. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if anybody wants to call me out for buying Chinese products, you're on the wrong page. All right? I'm not the guy telling you that you or I or anybody else has to stop buying all Chinese-made products. I'm not telling you that. That would be bad for American companies too. What I'm telling you is that moving new business there is done, and that's all it takes to end China.

So those are some of the things happening. I would say that most of what's happening is positive, even if it doesn't look that way. Remember, the news is only going to tell you what's bad news. So Afghanistan is over. The Middle East looks like more peace than we've ever had because of Abraham Accords. Iran weirdly isn't making a lot of noise right now, is it? But why is Iran so quiet? Anybody? What's happening with Iran? It's too quiet, right? Almost like something's gonna happen, like a deal maybe. It feels like the calm before some kind of an agreement.

Newsom. Scott love him. So this is a comment on YouTube in all capitals: "Newsom Scott love him." Okay, that's not even close to true. Yeah, Israel has said that they will unilaterally take care of Iran, which I imagine makes Iran more afraid and not less. I've got a feeling that Iran would like a world in which the United States would talk Israel out of attacking, but apparently that's not going to happen, because Israel just said, okay, we're just going to do what we need to do. That could take care of the problem, because I'm sure that their intelligence on Iran is pretty darn good by now.

Yeah, still waiting for an e-bike stream. Well, I did an e-bike. Yeah, I guess I should do more of an e-bike stream. I should strap my phone to the bike and take a ride for you all.

Haitian caravans. Yeah, we've talked about that. There's more coming, like a lot more coming.

All right, just looking at your comments. The news about the Havana syndrome—well, let me check that while I'm here. So many of you are asking me about the Savannah. I'm sorry, Havana syndrome. So there's some new news that involves the Biden administration. So one hour ago: looking into reports of sensory attacks. They believe they're closer to understanding. There's nothing new here, is there? Wh

at's new? What is new on this story? I don't see anything new on this story. What's causing it? Okay, yeah, I think the government—I don't trust the government on this, but we'll see. All right, let's keep an eye on that. And let's go Brandon. Let's go Brandon. And by the way, it would be hilarious if in places where you couldn't be shouting "Fuck Biden," if instead you started chanting "Let's Go…
