how about we just say thank you? How about we just say thank you? If there's any other Democrats who want to say something that's obviously true, I'm here for it. And I'm happy to say bygones are bygones. And if you were wrong before or you're playing for a team before but now you see things a little differently, I'm here for you. So unity, I think a little bit of at least being open to unity is absolutely worth doing. We're in the beginning of the golden age. So if I hear something I like from the team that was opposed to me up until now, I'm going to say good for you.

Now you heard the news that AOC removed her pronouns from her profile on X. I haven't heard why she did it but I assume it's for the obvious reason that she doesn't think that's the focus or where it should be. To which I say good for you. I can disagree with you on other stuff but how about I'll just say good for you. Find a little unity in that too. So it's not that unity is going to break out and we're all going to be singing Kumbaya. But just as a citizen of America that I want America to do well, I feel like anytime I see any movement toward just common sense and telling the truth that I'm going to give it a shout out. So good for Ezra Klein. I think that you did something useful for Democrats.

Meanwhile, even at least one judge has decided that with Trump coming into power and the likelihood that he will pardon the J6ers, at least one J6er's trial was postponed because there was no point in doing it. So I guess the judge said it's just a waste of time. He's going to get pardoned anyway. To which I say good work, judge. That is the correct answer. I like seeing the common sense also in the judiciary. So I don't know if this judge is leaning left or right or who appointed this judge, but it's true that no matter who appointed the judge this would be a waste of the public's money. There's no point in putting this person further into the system because they're going to be freed in a few weeks. So yes, this was the right decision.

Over in North Korea, Kim Jong-un apparently is going big on suicide drones. So they're going to do major manufacturing of suicide drones. To which I ask this following question: why isn't America making all kinds of suicide drones in America? I keep hearing that we can't catch up to China. China's manufacturing drones like crazy. What is it that makes us unable to make a drone? We obviously have the technology. We could obviously use robots to do most of the manufacturing. So it can't be that much more expensive to make it in the United States. And if North Korea can make swarms of drones, are you telling me that North Korea can spin up a drone factory and we can't? Because why? They get help from China or something? Maybe China's helping. Or is it Russia? Because we now know that thousands of North Korean troops have been sent to help Russia in the Ukraine war. So is it possible that Russia is the technical and maybe even investment help and they're building a less bombable drone factory? How about that? If you make a drone factory and you put it in Russia, do you think you could trust Ukraine not to bomb the drone factory? You cannot. No matter where you put it in Russia, Ukraine has already shown that they'll take out like a weapons depot. So of course they would take out your drone factory. But what if you put your drone factory in North Korea? Do you think Ukraine is going to take out a drone factory in North Korea? I don't think so. So it might be a pretty clever place for the bad guys to hide a drone factory. And I'm going to say that North Korea is not doing the hard lifting on their own. They must be getting some help either from Russia or China or both.

Wall Street Journal says that Trump has vowed to remake education in the US by getting rid of the woke stuff in the classroom. Yay. Funding private school tuition. We'll see how much of that happens. And abolishing the Department of Education. But he also has this idea of a government-accredited college that anybody could go to. Everybody gets in, I guess. And they can take what classes they want and get it accredited. Now I think most of that would be online and AI. So we'll see where that goes. But I don't think I'd want a college that you didn't have a physical experience with. If your college is totally online and you don't at least meet with your classmates or meet for study periods with people taking the same classes, that would be a pretty empty and cold experience for three or four years. So I think we need to work on the alternative education social part because I don't think it's good for kids to have no social contact. And I know the homeschoolers do a good job of it. The homeschoolers make sure they get together with other homeschoolers and stuff so they're already doing a good job of it. But if the government weighs in more heavily, I hope that they make sure that the physical connections with people are maintained somehow.

Well, RFK Jr. is picked as Health and Human Services secretary. So that's the group that's ahead of all the smaller federal health agencies. So that would give him power over everything health related. I can't even tell you how much I love this. I just absolutely love it. Are we getting, what is this? I'm seeing some anti-Semitism that needs to stop right now. Is there something going on in the comments over there? Yeah, well I just saw something go by that you need to stop that right away. None of that is okay. That is not okay.

All right, so I forgot that Rachel Levine was the Health and Human Services secretary before. So I don't have a comment on that. I'll just note that going from Rachel Levine to RFK Jr. is a pretty big change in priorities. Pretty big change. And I'm all in. I'm all in on this. Now I do think that if the way pharma works and even the way food works is radically changed, we are guaranteed to have two things happen. We're going to have some pretty deadly disruptions probably in our pharma business. In the long run I think will be way better. In the short run it might deny us some medicines that work better than they don't work. And in the long run though I think it's just giant potential improvement. Same with food. In the short run we might learn that some of the foods that we routinely eat are so dangerous they should be immediately taken off the market, which will cause other food prices to go up, which will cause us to have fewer choices. So my guess is that you can't do any major reforms for the pharma approvals or for the food approvals without major disruptions.

Now it's the fear of major disruption that makes anybody not change anything because you don't want the negative to be greater than the benefit you're trying to get. But when you reach a point where your food and your medicine is killing you and you don't trust either one, then the risk of a disruption becomes manageable. So here's the thing I want to tell you. If you think that RFK can do what he wants without major disruptions, pretty major to the way you live and maybe even people you know will have some health outcomes, that's all going to happen. You're going to get some problems, right? So just know for sure that you can't make a change this big without breaking a few eggs to make your omelette. Some eggs are going to get broken. But we have to get past this. We have institutions that are just broken and we've got to fix it. And the only way to do it is a bunch of people are going to leave and they're going to take with them some institutional knowledge. We'll have to build it back. We can build it back better, to borrow a phrase. But not until there's a lot of problems in between.

Now the fact that RFK Jr. is apparently fearless, he apparently has no fear of anything physical, social or political, or physical, social, he doesn't appear to have any fear. Or he operates as if he doesn't, which is even more awesome. But talk about the right guy for the right job at the right time. It's just the thing that's blowing my mind is the timing. You know, a number of people made the analogy that some of us call it a pirate ship, you know, Trump's collection of extraordinary people. Others are likening it to the founders and it's like a refounding, like we're being founded for a second time. But what are the odds that RFK Jr. would be available at the same time that Vivek and Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard are all available? And they're not really available, they're just willing to do it. You know, Elon Musk is the busiest person in the world but made himself available. I've never seen anything like that. I've never seen anything close to it.

Do you remember when you used to hear that Lincoln had the, what do you call it, the advisers that were on the other side? He had a team of adversaries. What was that called? There's a famous phrase for it. You'll see it in the comments. But Trump actually did that. Trump has the Republican administration team of rivals. Team of rivals, thank you. But he's got, I'll call them a team of rivals. Except that when it comes to this they're all on the same side. So he actually got the best version of a team of rivals you could ever get, which is a team of rivals who changed sides because the other side wasn't doing it. That's the best you can do. You know, you don't want a team of rivals that still thinks their side is right. That's just trouble. I mean I could see why there's some advantage to it as well because you get a hearty debate. But if you can get your team of rivals to be people who publicly repudiated the team they're leaving and said they just can't get this stuff done and this is going to kill us all and then they go to the team that might be able to get it done and save us all, you can't get better than that.

So I am so happy to be alive at this great coincidence that those particular characters are all up for the fight. And I'm not even naming all of them, right? I mean you could throw in Bill Ackman, you could throw in half a dozen other people, JD Vance. You know, there's a lot of people you could throw in who are all in on the fight. I know I am. I'm definitely all in.

But Elizabeth Warren is not so happy. She just said on MSNBC that Tulsi Gabbard, quote, "has clearly been in Putin's pocket." Really? Really? Tulsi Gabbard has clearly been in Putin's pocket? And what evidence do we have of that? None. But here's my advice. If you watch the Elizabeth Warren clip which is on X and probably going around today, turn off the sound and then just look at her crazy face. She can't hide the crazy. I mean her face, it looks like this distorted like demon face. If you hear the words
