Dogs and Casino were not good movies? Yes those are. No I'm not going to say they're not good because that would be treating art like it's subjective. They are not movies I enjoyed or that I would recommend. But I don't mind if you do. Don't mind if you do. There's news about this election software firm called Konnech. And the CEO I guess is in jail. He's been picked up. Hasn't been convicted of…

We've got to save the climate from climate change and all that. I feel like Twitter is more of that. It's just part of his meaning of life constellation. It's just one more thing that only he can do, right? If somebody else wanted to buy it and fix it he'd probably be fine with that. Guessing right. But I think he thought nobody else was going to do it and he could. And if nobody else can do it and it's vital to the health of the Republic and it's 10 billion extra that he didn't want to spend, my best guess is that he moved from wanting to deciding.
I talk about that a lot. He wanted to buy Twitter which means you want it at the right price and you want everything to go smoothly etc. That's what wanting looks like. This is what deciding looks like. You just spent 10 billion dollars that you didn't necessarily need to. Right? Because I just decided I'm going to own Twitter. You just decided.

The other possibility is something we don't know about which is a very big one. Something we don't know about. It could be big. Could be big. It could be that there's something shady inside of Twitter and Musk knows if he doesn't hurry they'll hide it. You know imagine if he'd heard from a whistleblower. If you don't wrap this up right away they're already deleting all the bad stuff. Maybe right. The other possibility is working with the CIA and he's doing it on their behalf but you didn't hear that from me.
Yes Mike my account got purged. I think everybody's account lost some bots. Quite a bit of bots.
Let's do a fact check on Fetterman and Oz. So Dr. Oz was fact-checked when he said that his competitor for the Senate in Pennsylvania, Fetterman, so Oz said that Fetterman would release one-third of dangerous criminals. And the fact checker said false, mostly false. But what did Fetterman say? He said he wanted to reduce the number of prisoners by one-third. So he's apparently, he's on video, he's on, he 100 percent said I want to release the prison population by one-third.
So was Dr. Oz accurate when he said he would release one-third of dangerous criminals? No. Dr. Oz lied. That's a lie. That's a lie. He said he wanted to release one-third of criminals which any reasonable interpretation

means the non-violent ones, right? Did he really need to say the non-violent ones? He didn't need to say it. That's obvious. Of course if you're going to release one third of prisoners you're not going to start with the dangerous ones. Nobody would do that. Nobody. No, Oz lied. The fact check is correct and I think this is a pretty bad lie. That's a pretty bad lie. The difference between releasing…
