literally hosting negativity, but her name is Sunny Hostin. But she's also very much in favor of reparations. She really likes the slavery reparations, even now after doing a DNA test to find out that she's descended from Spanish slave traders. Awkward. Awkward. But even though she's descended from Spanish slave traders, she's still in favor of reparations. But I believe she feels she should be exempt. She didn't say that, but I feel like that's the essence of it. It's like, I'm descended from Spanish slave traders. That's completely different. You know, who am I going to give reparations to anyway? Somebody over in Spain. So anyway, consistency is not real big.

I saw a Jennifer Cabana tweet. There's a UCLA professor who was suspended. Do you remember this story? He was suspended for refusing to grade black students leniently after George Floyd. Apparently there was a movement that black students should get inflated grades because of what happened to George Floyd, and maybe it caused some distress. He refused to do it, and it ruined his career, including his lucrative expert witness business on the side. And so he's suing UCLA for 19 million. Will he win? I don't know. It depends if the courts are completely corrupt, but I think he might. I think he might. It's 2024. Anything can happen.

Okay, there's a high school debate. James Fishback is writing about this on X. The National Speech and Debate Association, they eliminated a high school debate topic. The topic was about civil disobedience. And the reason that they didn't want to have the high school debate on civil disobedience was because it would put some students in a position of listening to arguments that they didn't align with. That actually happened. A high school debate was cancelled because they didn't want to put the students in a position of hearing an opinion that was opposite of their own. Okay, sure.

Well, apparently the X platform is going to have its own phone for audio and video and texting. And Elon Musk says he's going to get rid of his regular phone and use only the X platform for texting in a month or so. Now correct me if I'm wrong. How does that work? Does it work through the regular phone network? Because you'd have to have some connections just to have all the coverage. I always wondered how other phone companies get access to the proprietary networks of existing people. So I don't know how that works. Waiting for details. But what if it worked for everybody? I mean, is it possible that for 20 dollars a month I'll be able to make unlimited phone calls? Is that going to happen? Because I think it might. What would that do to the entire cell phone business? And do you think it's obvious that Elon Musk is going to make a phone? Does it seem obvious? Like the most obvious thing is you should make a phone and it should be based on an AI model where it's not a bunch of apps. It's just something you talk to. I don't know. I think that's coming.

Well, so there's new news that the loneliness epidemic is worse than we think. And young people 15 to 24 reported a 70 percent drop in time spent with friends after the pandemic. A 70 percent drop in spending time with friends, young people. And with the elderly it's even critical. But the new information is that loneliness increases the risk of premature death by nearly 30 percent. Loneliness increases the risk of premature death, that you call excess mortality, by nearly 30 percent. Now it's science so I don't believe any science, so I'm not sure any of that's true. But do you believe that loneliness does have an impact on life expectancy? Yes or no? As someone who has experienced it I would say it's obvious. You can feel the impact on your health. It's just like being under a weighted blanket. I mean you can't miss it. You can't miss it.

Yeah. So let me propose this. Excess mortality is fully explained by the excess loneliness. The extreme amount of extra loneliness, if it does have this substantial impact on
