e Australian Open. Now that's not the weird part. You know what the weird part is? His first name. No vax. Novax. I mean it's, you know, Novak, but really his name is Novax and he didn't get vaccinated and he won the Australian Open. You tell me that's not the best story, right? Could you not have predicted that? I did. I did actually predict that in advance but privately, so I should have said i…

time I've been telling you that the best food distribution system would look like the following. Something very close to your home, like you could walk there in five minutes, would be like a central cafeteria like a college campus. And the central cafeteria would have a wide variety of food that they just made fresh. So everything's fresh, just got made. Lots of variety. And because it's a captive audience a little bit, you know, they have that monopoly if you will, it was pretty cheap. So it was cheap, best food you could get, and the easiest food you could get. They solved every problem. Solved every problem. The only thing it didn't solve was we didn't have apps. You know, when I was in college if I had an app where all I had to do was say what I want to pick up and I just walk over and pick it up, I wouldn't have to pay for a delivery.

So the whole DoorDash, I think DoorDash might have a limited future because I think people are going to still be doing takeout, but I think they're going to get it within five minutes of their house. So I think you'll have all these local sort of general cafeterias. Here would be the mistake. I think the mistake would be to have a local takeout only that's one ethnicity, like it's just Chinese takeout. Now people will use that, but wouldn't you rather everybody in your family can order from the cafeteria and you just go pick it up? You don't want the, well I don't like Chinese food or I had it yesterday. If you're going to order once for a family you kind of want the cafeteria. So I think this is where it's going. It's going to be all use your app, walk five minutes and pick it up. That's what it's going to be, with some delivery option. But it's already happening, looks like.

All right, here's some fake news from the Democrats. Fake news. Do you remember when the Democrats were saying that the Georgia voting laws, and there have been some recent changes, were going to disenfranchise the Black American voters? Do you remember that? Oh it was practically a second Holocaust. Slavery all over again. How could they? They were going to make it impossible for Black people to figure out how to vote.

So there was a recent survey, new poll, asked Black voters if they had a poor experience casting their ballot. And the number of Black voters who said they had a poor experience voting in Georgia was zero. Zero. Have you ever seen

a poll where one of the main answers was zero? Zero. Now we're rounded to zero, so it was a little bit more than zero but it rounded to zero. Yeah, I often tell you that on any poll at least 25 percent of the respondents are going to get the wrong answer. But this one was so clean, so obvious, so clear, so unambiguous that a hundred percent of Black Americans, who you might imagine, you know, bei…
