h is super smart that was a little blind spot. Does he believe that was his one blind spot because I don't think so. I think he needs to know that climate change is another blind spot even if it's a real problem separate from the conversation of what's real and what's not. The way it's presented and the solutions that are presented get rid of fossil fuel right away. These are not serious people and I can't believe that a smart person once hearing all arguments would still back somebody who was on that side of it. It's hard to believe.

All right. How about if he ask Dean Phillips what he thinks about all the problem with the white supremacists? Ask Dean Phillips if he thinks there's a MAGA extremist problem and give us their names just like Biden. See I think Bill Ackman needs to if he's going to be this influential and he seems to be very influential I feel like he owes it to the rest of us to dig in a little bit deeper. Just dig in a little like you did with DEI. So you know I give Ackman a full pass for correction right? So my standard for judging people I say this all the time it's not that you got one wrong that's not the problem. Getting one wrong is just normal. We all get stuff wrong. But how do you deal with it? How do you deal with being wrong? You know how did Vivek deal with not getting his prediction right in Iowa? Honestly, quickly, clearly and with humility. That's how you do it.

All right so yeah Dean Phillips has a lot to explain.

Vanguard the company the big company that has lots of index funds just an enormous financial entity. We hear today from the End Wokeness account on X that first of all they control 7 trillion dollars in assets. 7 trillion do they control in assets. And their new class of interns has almost no white people in it and the employees are given courses on white fragility and engaging white males to advance DEI and they're also big backers of ESG.

So for many decades I have very full-throated endorsed Vanguard funds because what the funds are is they're unmanaged funds. An index fund is just like a basket of stocks and a basket of stocks is a real good way to invest and they have reasonably low fees. So the things you want are an honest company that can tell you don't invest in individual stocks buy this basket of stocks because diversification is good. That's very good. That's why I like Vanguard. The people who had invested in Vanguard funds from the beginning of the fund would be really happy because their index funds did great. That's the whole point. So Vanguard is a very credible successful financial institution which I have very happily recommended lots of people for I don't know 30 years. I've probably been recommending them at the top of my list for 30 years.

Today I disrecommend them as a racist organization and I don't believe that they should get any of your money and if you have any money in there and it doesn't cost you too much I would yank it out immediately because I don't think you can support this or you should. It leads to a bad place. You don't want to be supportive of racist companies no matter which direction the racism goes. So this is just pure racism and I get that they're trying to correct years of having too many white people and white men in positions. I get that. I know what they're trying to fix but don't do it this way. This is we can't do business with you if this is who you are. So I absolutely disrecommend Vanguard funds for anybody who cares about racism.

Well it turns out that Claudine Gay who was the president of Harvard that stepped down there are many movie offers multi-million dollar movie offers made about the situation. Christopher Rufo who was one of the primary people besides Bill Ackman trying to get her to step down he asked who would play him in the movie. So Christopher Rufo is asking who would play him in the movie and an account called John Stokes made a suggestion. It says my money's on Idris Elba. I've been laughing about that all morning.

All right if you didn't know Idris Elba is a very good black actor who's going to be I think that they've agreed to play James Bond. Is that deal been made or is that just something they're talking about? I don't know the details but that was the discussion. So now let me say again Idris Elba is great and he could play a great James Bond. I would definitely watch that movie. So I don't have any problem with that. That's not the hill I'm going to die on. I think a good actor can play whatever they want. So the fact he's a great actor should be the key thing to understand from that but that's pretty funny. Get Idris Elba to play Christopher Rufo. Well well.

In the less good story this also comes from End Wokeness one of my new favorite accounts. Fentanyl seizures at the border. I'll give you a little history. In 2020 they found almost 5,000 pounds of fentanyl at the border. That's just what they found. Now 5,000 pounds of fentanyl do you know how much that is because like a litt
