But I don't think they're going to lose their money. So it looks like Budweiser is gonna be fine. Let's talk about U.S. digital currency, which you all want me to talk about but you're not going to like what I have to say. So th…

I hear bad things about people who try to stay away from potential trouble. But I don't know. I think there's going to be a lot more vigilantism. Also a lot more mass shootings because there's so many young men with no purpose. So I think you're going to see a lot more of that.
All right. Here I'm going to agree with Ibram X. Kendi. Here's something you didn't expect today. So I saw on Twitter people are tweeting around.

I feel as if the people we're getting are often technically proficient, often came from a high-end school in India, are specifically recruited for their skills. You know, they're going to be doctors and technologists and engineers of all kinds. So isn't there a filtering issue going o

Whereas the Black Americans were brought in on slave ships, many of them, and descended from that. So there's no filtering mechanism, at least that kind of filtering mechanism. I think that's a good point. How many of you think that's not a valid point from Kendi that the immigrat…
