e just like there's no problem at all. There's a new AI that can take your script and turn it into a full movie just from the script. How cool is that? You can just take your movie script and it just becomes a movie. Now I have certainly a lot of questions whether that really does that. I'm going to predict it's really a demo where, you know, something that looks like it could work and you wish i…
← Previous segment →ur election security to the post office. The post office. Because I can't think of a more secure environment than the post office. But looks like that's what we did.
Well, vigilantism is breaking out right on schedule. There are three stories in the news just today of people taking matters into their own hands. Surprise, surprise. People feel there's no law, and so men are starting to take the law into their own hands.
One example is Walter Isaacson, who used to be the CEO of CNN I guess, and he was at some event and some non-binary protester was disturbing it. So Walter Isaacson, who was 72 years old, decided to personally escort that person out, which allegedly turned into some shoving. But he was removed. So Walter Isaacson just dragged some bastard out of the room and shoved him out of the room. Now he's in trouble. You know, obviously the protester is going to file charges for assault, but you know it's like some scratches on his arm or something.
There's a New York City man who was in the news today for catching a porch pirate. His stuff kept getting stolen, so he put a fake package out there and waited for the porch pirate and then went out with his baseball bat and called the authorities and got him arrested.
So Walter Isaacson getting physical with a protester, New York City man setting his own trap and using physical force. Then there's a story of an Arizona State attorney who was grilling a woman because her husband had fired what was supposed to be a warning shot because there were a bunch of migrants illegally crossing his land. So he sends out a warning shot, and apparently with the warning shot he hit somebody. So now there's some legal difficulty. Now I don't know if it was really a warning shot. Makes you wonder if it was really a warning shot.
But there's three examples in the news just today of men deciding they had enough. Do you think it's a trend? Do you think you will see more stories of men deciding they've had enough? Yes you will. Yes you will. There's no way this is going to stop. There's going to be a whole bunch more men just figuring it out on their own because what choice do you have? What choice? You don't have a choice. It's either let it happen or fix it, and you're going to go to jail if you try to fix it.
Well, Apple, you know Apple was going to try to do a car, but then they gave up on the car. And now there's talk in Bloomberg that they're going to make a robot, a personal robot. Doesn't that make more sense? Don't you think Apple should make a personal robot and not so much a car? I think getting into the car business would probably have been a mistake, so they probably made the right choice to get out of it. But an Apple robot that's working with your other Apple devices? Absolutely. I want an Apple robot just to be my remote control. I just want to tell my robot what to turn on and off. It's like, hey robot, can you turn on Netflix? Find something for me.
However, I caution you that this report is in Bloomberg, and Bloomberg is not a credible source of news. How do I know that? Well, I know that because Bloomberg once did a story about me, so I can say authoritatively that it's not a real source of news. Now the rest of you have to guess, but I've been there. Yeah, I know they make up, at least they did about me. So I wouldn't trust anything they say, but it might be true.
Well, we've got the cicadas coming. It's like Armageddon with cicadas. What's the other name for a cicada? Is it like a locust? Is a cicada like a locust or is that like a completely different bug? Does anybody know? Cicada. I don't know. I just don't like them. But apparently they're every 17 years they emerge, and I guess there's two types. And by coincidence their very long gestation period or hibernation or whatever the hell they do, they lined up. So we're going to have two cicada invasions at the same time. How many cicadas are we talking about? Trillions. Trillions. I remember when nothing was trillions. Do you remember that? When nothing was trillions? Yeah, there was no trillionaire. We didn't have a trillion dollar budget deficit. Now everything's a trillion. Like even the bugs are a trillion now. Come on.
How many people died in Gaza? A trillion. Everything's a trillion. Not really a trillion. I made that part up in case you didn't know. It didn't come from Bloomberg News.
Well, just the news. That's a news entity called Just the News reports there's a structural racism class that's mandatory for the UCLA Medical School. Well, you definitely don't want your doctor not to have a mandatory racism class. But what sorts of things do they learn? Let's see. During the lecture, the mandatory UCLA Medical School class on structural racism, the guest speaker led the students in some kind of nonsecular prayer to Mama Earth and then got them to chant "free, free Palestine," denigrated medicine as white science. Oh my God. And apparently some of them were refusing to go along, so there was some resistance to it. But you know, I almost want to go back to the corporate world just so I can experience this, you know, as the cartoonist, not as a regular person, just so I can mock it. That'd be fun.
Well, the Daily Wire launches a new courtroom reality show starring one of their on-air hosts, Matt Walsh, who to the best of my understanding is not a judge. But I saw the clips for it and I gotta say it looks like a winner. It looks like just a dead winner because all it is is Matt Walsh mocking idiots but in a courtroom setting where they have to listen to him, and he's got a little hammer to bang. Now whoever came up with this idea, the very idea of it is so absurd because he's not a judge but he's very judgy. Like his whole job, his whole job basically is writing and talking in a judgmental way about things. So to have him wearing his little robe and banging his gavel and mocking idiots on camera, I'm down for it. I'm down for it. Haven't seen the show, but I feel like I can recommend it. You know, at least give it a chance.
All right. California's governor Newsom introduced this new plan. I guess this is going to happen in California, that every baby born in California is going to get a college savings account at birth worth up to $1,500. What do you think of that idea? Giving kids $1,500 at birth and you just let it sit there and as an investment I guess and build up steam? I don't know. Almost every other topic I can say, oh you know that's good or that's bad. This one's a little unclear because I'd have to see the math. I would have to see the math. There's something very appealing about it, and they didn't invent this idea. And the idea goes like this. If you give a kid $1,500 today it might grow in value, and by the time they're ready to go to college you don't need to give them the loan they can't pay back. That would actually be a good investment. Might even encourage people to get more education than they would have otherwise. So there's a whole bunch. Got some weird tickle on my nose. It might be a good idea. I can't decide. You know, if you look in the short run it's just giving people money, but in the long run could it be so good that we're all happy it happened? I know, but well if it's i

nvested it will grow faster than inflation if you do it right. I don't know. I'm open-minded on that one. That might not be a gigantic mistake, which would be quite a difference from everything else California does. By the way, is anybody experiencing a blizzard today? Any blizzards? Nice day here in California. I'll be taking a nice walk with my tee, just in my t-shirt. Might be shorts weather.…
