of the government wasting $42 billion trying to give rural people internet connection but not connecting a single person. How many of you heard that story that Biden Harris got $42 billion for all this internet connection and didn't get any internet connections?

Now here's my clarification. I think when they say $42 billion was wasted they don't mean it was spent. It wasn't wasted. I believe it was not spent or some small amount of it was spent but they didn't get to the point where they could connect anybody. So does that track with what you believe? It's not that they took $42 billion and spent it and it's all gone and we'll never get anything but I think people talk about it that way. I think rather $42 billion was budgeted but they were too incompetent or there were too many regulations or whatever it was that they just didn't get anything done. Is that how you understand it? Because I've heard people in public refer to it as wasted and I think rather it's just massive incompetence.

And the real heart of the story is that they didn't need to spend a penny. They could have just said to Elon Musk hey what would it cost to have the government subsidize some rural people on your satellite and then he would say here's a very reasonable price and you can all be up on it and working tomorrow and then they would say wow that's much better than 42 billion. You mean you'd only charge us, I'll just pick a number, 50 million a year or something and he would say yeah that's about right. So that's what I think is happening.

There was another video of Kamala Harris giving a public speech in which she looked really really inebriated but the community notes are saying that it was fake. So it was slowed down or modified so it looked like she was really drunk but maybe it was just the AI faked it.

So to my credit, pat myself on the back here, when I saw it I did not necessarily believe it was true and so when I reposted it I reposted it with the question is this AI or is it real? And then the answer came back it was altered. It was AI.

So here's my take on that. If you can take a politician that people are very familiar with, Kamala Harris, and you can alter the video so it looks like she's drunk as a skunk and people can't tell it's altered, that's a story. So it would be a story if it were not altered because there she would be drunk as a skunk or inebriated in some way. But since that wasn't true you get to the next level of well isn't that interesting that so many people looked at that and said yeah that's true.

Now imagine if you tried to do that with a Trump speech. Take a Trump speech then try to use AI to alter it so it sounds like, oh make America great again. You would instantly know that was fake, ri
