it turned us into, because it made us think we're a little bit better than the rest of the world. Now maybe that's good. Maybe the system of America worked better because we thought we were better than other people. We were trained to think that. But it's definitely got its downside, right? You get too arrogant, you get too cocky, you start thinking you're better than everybody. Then it's easy to…
← Previous segment →amazingly good luck and well smart I guess that Trump trusted Jared to do various portfolios of things. But if Vivek, if it came to that and Vivek was considering a vice presidency, he should only consider it if he's empowered even more than Al Gore was empowered during the Clinton years. You want a vice president who's got a portfolio and maybe here's the key part, maybe the most important stuff instead of the stuff. Am I right? Just have him do the important stuff, the most important stuff. I think he'd be great at that. Because then you could honestly say at the end of four more years of Trump you would find yourself saying I love things the administration did. And you probably look at what the vice president did in that case and say you know he really nailed these two or three areas that were just so critical.
So watching somebody with Vivek's talent taking on our strongest or hardest problems would be exhilarating to me. That would be exhilarating. Do you know what it feels like? Well here's an example. Do you remember what it felt like to many of you, I realize some people thought it was the end of the world, but you remember what it felt like when Elon Musk bought Twitter? If you leaned right at all, didn't you immediately feel like things were heading in the right direction? Like it took Musk an amazing amount of work, I mean almost I can't even hold it in my head how much work was involved to turn Twitter or X into what it is now. And by the way my current view of X, oh my God it's so much better. The interface on X, the fact that you can pull your video windows out, you can scroll videos and it's no longer I'm not throttled. I mean everything about the experience, the trolls are way down. The number of trolls I get is down 95%. I think my trolls are down 95% compared to pre-Musk. I'm not sure why. But so that's the same feeling I would have if somebody like Vivek had real power and the authority to go after some of our biggest problems. Because I think he could poke a hole in places that nobody could touch before. All right, and then he'd be an obvious one for president after that.
Let's talk about the zombie apocalypse in San Francisco. So as you may know San Francisco is cleaning up because President Xi of China and Biden are going to be visiting. There's going to be a big economic summit in San Francisco. So apparently all of the zombie street people and addicts have been rounded up and everything's been power washed and they moved them all somewhere. But here's the question. Where'd they go? And why couldn't they do that before? And I wa

s laughing hard this morning because Musk, not only does he own the X platform, he's probably one of the all-time best posters. Here's Musk has a four-word comment about the fact that all the zombies in San Francisco were moved. So they're now, the main parts of San Francisco seem clean. And here's what Musk said in four words. And these four words sum up the last five years of your existence. You…
