just right. Sublime.

All right. Now for those of you who are new, there might be some new people who have never seen the show before, give me the answer to the question before I ask it. Go. Answer to the question before I ask it. That is the correct answer. Yes.

Now here's the question. In a Rasmussen poll, what percentage of people are in favor of removing statues of George Washington? You said 25%. Gosh, you're good. 27. 27. But around, you know, within the margin of error. I think your ability to know the answers before the questions are asked is unparalleled. Purely unparalleled. And if you think there's any audience in the world that is smarter than this one, let's see if they can answer the question before you ask it. Just give them that test. They won't be able to do it.

Well, I am loving the, I don't know what you'd call it, but the ascension maybe of Bill Ackman, famous hedge fund investor guy. So he's been going really hard at Harvard especially, and wokeness more generally. He's become kind of the Rosa Parks of the DEI debacle. And he says, among other things in a long post today, and he's becoming a national treasure in my view, he says, I don't think it will be long before we look back on the last few years of free speech suppression and the repeated career-ending accusations of racist for those who question the DEI movement. Do you think that will happen? Do you think we will someday look back at this period and it will look like McCarthyism and that the DEI thing will look like it was a gigantic mistake and it will be largely dismantled?

Yes. Yes. He's absolutely right. There's no way around it. It's definitely going to happen. And he said we're all shortly going to realize that the DEI era is the McCarthy era part two. He said he learned from someone who had firsthand knowledge of the situation that when Harvard was searching for a president, the committee would not consider a candidate who did not meet the DEI office's criteria. In other words, no white men. So it was exactly what it looked like. If you're wondering to yourself, huh, I wonder if they excluded white men in their search, yes they did. Yes they did.

And Bill Ackman points out the same is likely true for other elite universities. So would you say that the competence crisis is real? I saw three college presidents that in my opinion were incompetent. Now as other people have pointed out, other people who identify as female, so I'll quote them instead of taking the heat on myself. Those three college presidents set back women's rights by about 50 years. Am I the only one that had that impression? And by the way this wasn't my original observation. It's something I was thinking when I watched it. I think it was Greta Van Susteren who was saying it was setting back the women's movement. It really did. It was a terrible, terrible day for women.

Well, McCarthy's leaving the job. He's leaving government. I guess he had hinted that he might do it if he got pushed out of the leadership job and I guess he is. But the funniest part about that story is Matt Gaetz, who is obviously the agent of that change, he's the one who pushed for it. He had a post today with just one word: McLovin. Now some people interpreted it that Matt Gaetz was leaving but that's not what he meant. He was talking about McCarthy. He was making a joke about the McLovin character. There's a movie with a teenage character who calls himself McLovin. She calls him McLovin. That was Superbad was the name of the movie. Yeah. And I just love the fact that he's dancing on his grave. McLovin. That had me laughing today.

All right. China is allegedly going to revamp its space program. And the reason that China is so worried about getting behind on space is not because the United States is doing such good work but because Elon Musk. So who beat China in space? Was it the United States? Not exactly. Was it India? No, no. It was just Elon Musk. Just one person. Just that one person destroyed on the most probably the most important stage of human development. You know if someday if humans live another thousand years we're going to look back and see that the leaving of the planet to become interstellar was more fundamen
