e basket case theory. Basket case theory. I've told you this before. What you know about other people is a very small amount of who they are, right? So if you imagine that the Walsh family has solved all of their problems, I'm sure that's wrong. I'm sure they have some challenges like everyone. But on the surface, this is a pretty amazing story and I just like it. Elizabeth Warren tweets, apparen…

Is there some reason to... is Laura Loomer credible? Well, on there she is. Sure. Do you think Laura Loomer would tweet that she was having problems with Zelle if she just made it up? Now I'm not saying it's true because she said it, but really, you think somebody would just make that up? There's nothing in her history that would suggest you to do that, is there? You could like or dislike other things you said, but I don't think that doesn't sound like a lie. Could be. Anything's possible. But it doesn't sound like a lie to me anyway. We'll keep an eye on that.
New Zealand's prime minister resigned. Yes. And what's her name? Ardern. Now she was famous for being a progressive and doing things a little differently. She was also famous for having a baby while prime minister because she was one of the youngest leaders we've ever had. She had a baby and she managed to do her job while being a mom as well, being a young mom. But she's decided that it's a little too much and she's decided she's, I'll use my own words, burned out. And then she doesn't have the drive or energy to run New Zealand and run her family, I guess.
So here's how CNN described it, and this is on CNN's website. It started off by saying burnout is real and it's nothing to be ashamed of. That's the conclusion trailblazing New Zealand leader Jacinda Ardern seems to have reached after almost six brutal years in office. So CNN is first saying, you know, burnout must be recognized as a genuine phenomenon and we should not ignore it. Okay, I'm all with you on that.
Later on in the story they say during her time in power Ardern showed that it was possible to juggle a young family and a demanding role. Good for her. Look at that. She managed to run a country and juggle her home demands as well. Very good. And now she's leading by example to show that when a tank is empty and there's no more to give, it's also okay to opt out.
Now this is pretty good. This is pretty good on her part. Not only is she proving that you can run a country and have a family, but she's also proving at the same time that you can't run a country and have a family. So a lot of people would just try to demonstrate one thing at a time. She's doing two. This is quite impressive. And CNN, I credit them for calling this out, that she's not only proving that you can do everything, have a family and have a demanding job, but also that you can't.
So I'm going to read a comment from Erica and she says, so this is not me, this is Erica, and you wonder why I don't want women in charge of anything. Okay, I think that's too far. Too far, Erica. You've gone too far. But let's live in the real world. Who in the world could do both of those things? Well, nobody. Nobody. It's not a man or woman thing. You know, women happen to be the ones who bear the children, so they end up, and for other reasons, they end up having a big role in the child's life, as they should. So I don't se

e how you can do both. Do you? How in the world could you do both? And do you imagine that New Zealand got a good job out of her? I mean, maybe it was good enough. I don't know. But it doesn't matter what the external competition for the leader's time is, whether it's a baby or they've got lawsuit problems or they're having troubles at home. It matters. It all matters. So if we're being open-mind…
