e Stanford University School of Medicine, and their collaborators came up with that. Will that work? I don't know. But there's a lot going on, you know. If the biggest health problem in the country is being overweight, there's a lot going on that's going to help push that in the other direction. And one of them might be this. It would be a competitor to Ozempic, I guess. But if it works, great.

Well, here's a weird little story that doesn't make sense in context. So Russia is going to restrict enriched uranium exports to the United States. Now it's sort of a response to some restrictions that are being put on Russian trade, but it's also not that big a deal. So it's sort of like, why are they even doing it? It's not going to hurt us that much. It's not that big a deal. But it sounds like it's kind of important because it's uranium and they're one of the biggest sources. We're not really going to run out of uranium. But why would Putin even throw this little deal into the mix?

Well, I have a hypothesis and it goes like this. I believe that everybody is waiting for Trump, and they're waiting for the big dog to settle all the little fights with little dogs. The biggest fight is Ukraine and Russia situation. And if Putin is as smart as I think he is—and he's definitely as smart as I think he is strategically—he can play some chess, you know what I mean? Like I've never heard a story of whether Vladimir Putin plays chess or not, but I assume he does. And I just have a feeling he'd be good at it, you know, like strategically. Even if you think he's an evil monster, he's pretty good strategically.

Here's why I think he's throwing this in the mix. I don't think it's just a tit for tat—that we do a little trade restriction so he does a little trade restriction. I think it's smarter than that. I think that both Trump and Putin are the two smart negotiators who could figure out the following thing. If you make it just about the Ukraine-Russia war, you're idiots. You're idiots. All right, let me say that again. If Putin and Trump negotiate the end of—the of course Zelensky negotiate the end of the Ukraine war and they limit the discussion to the end of the Ukraine war, they're idiots.

Now you know what? They're not idiots. Here's the good news. The good news is they're both really good at negotiating. So you know what they're going to do? They're going to throw in all this other stuff, and they should. That's how you get the deal. The deal is you throw the extra stuff in there because you're like, oh, I don't know, we're not getting enough out of this Ukraine stopping fighting thing. But wouldn't you guys like to have a better source of uranium because you're going to need it for all the AI and the nuclear power plants? And we say, you know, we would actually. We would like that. Then Russia would say, you know what, we'd like a little less tightening on some of this other trade over here. And we'd say, you know what, we'll give you that.

So if Trump and Putin figure out how to throw more stuff in it, I think there'll be maybe a nuclear weapons testing treaty. There could be something about China. I think that would be a long shot. But I've noticed that Russia is playing the Joe Manchin strategy. So Joe Manchin, he was one of those few senators who could go either way. And so because he could go either way, he had all the power, it seemed like, because he could vote as a Democrat or he could vote with the Republicans. And everything was so close that it would end up being, well, looks like it's down to Joe Manchin again.

So what Putin has done, which I think again is clever, is he's put himself right between the United States and China. So Russia as a military or economic power is tiny compared to either the United States or China. But if you Joe Manchin it and you go right in the middle, you have all this weird power. So that's what he's done. He became the Joe Manchin of countries. It's like, well, I could agree with China on this. What do you have to offer? Oh, I could agree with you too. So it's kind of brilliant where Putin's stationed himself. So that also gives him something to negotiate. So if Trump says to him in some form, you know what, we'd really like Russia to be more, let's say, friendly with the United States and less friendly with China, that's something that Putin has to negotiate. Now he created an asset out of nothing. That's Trump style. Trump is the expert of creating an asset out of nothing so he can negotiate it away later. Like Mexico is going to pay for the wall. He just creates that out of nothing and it's something he can give up and it feels like he met in the middle.

There are still, believe it or not, some voting irregularities that are being looked into. In Oregon there's a House of Representatives—Tracy Cramer—who was ahead by 500 votes and then there was a new dump of votes and guess what? She lost by one vote. She was ahead by 500 and coincidentally the new batch of votes was exactly the right number to make her lose by one. So clearly there's going to be some challenges there. Now does that mean that it's rigged? Well, there's no proof of that. Does it look exactly like it's rigged? Well, yeah, it looks exactly like it's rigged. But that doesn't mean it is. We're in a weird place where you have to challenge everything. I would certainly challenge this one. You can't do something that looks this rigged and then just walk away. I mean you're going to have to dig. Look under the hood on this one.

Meanwhile over in Bucks County, according to Breitbart News, there are ballots missing and there's a lot of problems over in Bucks County. So it does seem that there are at least three situations that are ongoing where the vote counting is in question. It doesn't make you feel too comfortable, does it?

Well, if you haven't seen the clip of Bill Maher dumping on Democrats that was produced I guess last night on his show, oh you have to watch i
