this. The risk of Trump should end two wars and close the border before election day just because he exists. That's funny. Somebody used my look it's a deer distraction trick for children. Use it in the elevator. I said that it works in every context. If children are bickering just say look a deer and they just stop and look for the deer. But apparently somebody tried it in an elevator and the k…

s. That'll fix it. Republican president that'll fix a lot. An AI that actually is useful and integrated with things you're doing and understands the world. Basically God. Yeah that's good. That's good. So I think there are going to be energy breakthroughs like you've never seen. I think the price of energy is going to fall to zero. Not right away but it's going to look obvious that it's going in that direction.

I just want to bring up one thing that I don't know is real and maybe somebody could give me a fact check. I saw some advertisements for a company that says they can produce useful electricity enough to power a house with a small device that simply is vibrating as neutrinos pass through the planet. So a neutrino is so small that it can zip through the entire planet without touching anything. Imagine that. Like all the matter of a planet and a neutrino is still so small it'll go through without hitting a corner of anything. But if you use just the right they say stacks of graphene, you know some magically prepared graphene, it'll react to the neutrinos. They won't hit them but it'll react to their passing in a way that makes them move and that apparently produces electricity. Now I did a Google search to see if any of this is real. The company I saw advertised I didn't find it so maybe that one isn't but there are some other companies that appear to be in that space. Can somebody tell me if that's real? I mean even real as a valid research area if not the product itself. Because yeah there are a number of companies with that in the name but I didn't have time to do the research.

There's an engine that runs on water. Yeah not so much.

All right. Well in a world in which Jeff Bezos has moved down to Washington and moved to Florida to be near his family and you see that Jewish Americans are rejecting in many cases the team that they're on and buying weapons because they might need them. In a day when you see that the value of the Second Amendment went from controversial to yes you need a gun. Am I right? You know as tragic as the Hamas attack on Israel is, you know it's way too soon to say that anything good came out of it but nothing embarrasses me so I'm going to go too soon, is strengthened the Second Amendment amazingly. Amazingly it's going to be real tough to be in a debate with a Republican on the Second Amendment after we saw what happened with Hamas. Am I wrong? Am I wrong that that just ended the debate? Now I don't mean it ended it in the minds of people. I just mean it would be embarrassing to be in public and argue that allowing a Hamas-like attack on American soil would be a good tradeoff. Because that's what they would have to argue. Yeah the left or the Democrats would have to argue that okay it's worth risking a Hamas-like attack in America just so you guys don't have guns. I think the debate is over in my opinion.

The only big problem that I see coming is debt and I think we're going to solve that with cheap energy and robots like nobody could ever imagine. It will be possibly a GDP boost like we've never seen and that would be the only way you could pay off the debt would be a GDP just going to the moon and that's actually possible. We are in a situation where the GDP could just go to the moon.

I don't think your guns will be taken away this year. Who's holding the debt is not as important as you think if the government has to pay interest on it no matter what. It kind of doesn't matter who owns the debt. And it doesn't work out. There's no such thing as running debt up to infinity and surviving it. That's not a thing. B

ut that's where we're at. All right ladies and gentlemen here's your, that was your optimism for the day. I hope it worked for you. I also recommend that if you're diversifying your portfolio put some Bitcoin in there as a diversification. Not as a primary holding. That would be gambling. But if you want to invest make really sure there's at least a little bit of Bitcoin in there. I wouldn't go…
