happen and you realize that you don't have a path to being important. And he probably was raised with the expectation that given all of his gifts, his brilliance, etc., that he was going to be important. Maybe a politician, maybe change the world, maybe invent something. And then he finds out none of that's going to happen and there's nothing he can do about it. What would you do in that situation?

Is it possible that you would say, you know what, I have to do something useful for the world and I'm going to do something that nobody else could do. I'm going to go murder somebody to make a point because I think the point needs to be made. Let's say from his point of view. I feel like he was trying to justify his life by doing the thing that only somebody who had given up on his life could do. And I think he maybe had given up on his life. So in a twisted way, which I do not condone, I have to throw that in there because it's going to sound like I'm condoning it but I'm not. In a twisted way you could see that somebody that smart who had maybe been raised on you're going to change the world, because I thought that about myself, right? I was also a valedictorian in my little school. When you're valedictorian you kind of think of yourself that you're going to change something. Like it's sort of built into the process. So I feel like that his own destruction of his own future gave him one path where he could find meaning and he needed to find meaning because he couldn't find pleasure. Pleasure was sort of out of bounds to him 'cause his pain in his back, couldn't have a relationship. I don't know. So again it's not excusing it but if you're trying to understand it he had nothing to lose and may have said I have one mission and I'm going to change something about capitalism. Now I don't know. We'll see. We'll probably learn a lot more about this.

Elon Musk said, he said this before, that on actually he said almost everyone I know in San Francisco has been threatened or violently assaulted on the streets and or had a home invasion. Now think about how many people Elon Musk knows who live in San Francisco because it's a tech town and almost every one of them, almost everyone has been threatened, violently assaulted on the streets or had a home invasion. Now your brain says my God it's turned into some kind of a horrible hellscape. But has it?

I would like to add the following context because I lived in San Francisco for a number of years in my younger days and in the 80s. Here's what I experienced. I was robbed three times at gunpoint, twice when I was a bank teller, about once on the street. I had one attempted robbery by a very large knife. I was assaulted by a guy with a large knife but I got away so that I didn't actually lose my money in that case. I've come home to find my door open and my home burgled. So I've been burgled. I've had my car stereo stolen I think three times. You know the windows broken, the car stereo is gone I think three times. And the first five minutes that I arrived in San Francisco I was assaulted by a group of homeless people who tried to steal my luggage 'cause I came from the airport via BART, the public transit, and I didn't know the city so I just sort of picked the BART stop that I thought was closest to where I wanted to be and I picked one of the most dangerous BART stops in the city. And I get out and I had my luggage with me so I had my two large bags and the homeless people just crowded around me and started to pull the bags out of my hands. I'm like no no no. And they would act like they were going to help. Oh let us help you. But really they were robbing me. And there happened to be a police officer there that chased them away.

Now that was my experience and it wasn't that rare for me to walk outside and see a fight going on on the sidewalk in front of my apartment. Very normal. So my experience was in San Francisco might have been worse in the past or at least as bad and then it got better. So San Francisco looks more like the 80s to me, maybe worse, but that doesn't mean it won't get better. So San Francisco because of its location and weather and just some characteristics that you couldn't possibly reproduce, I think it's going to come back. It might be in 10 years but I think SF will do okay.

Well Pete Hegseth is still the most exciting nominee that hasn't been yet affirmed. And I guess Joni Ernst is the one senator who's got some questions about him. She has some issues about his views of women in the military. And I have a question for you. I saw an older video in which Pete was saying he didn't want women in combat. He did not say he doesn't want women in the military and he was always clear to say that the women he served with were great warriors and he had no problem with the people he served with. But in general he thought women should not be in combat. Now I saw him asked that question yesterday I guess and he gave a different answer. His answer was a little vague and a little political and he said that he was running to be the Secretary of Defense for the entire military, male and female. So is he still not in favor of women in combat? Is he trying to make that issue just not be prominent but maybe he'll do something about that? I don't know. But he may have found some kind of middle ground where people are not going to think about it too much.

And then apparently Joni Ernst was herself according to the news a victim of some kind of sexual assault in her past. And since Hegseth was accused but not in a highly credible way, he's been accused, that maybe that had some impact on Joni Ernst's opinion. But apparently there are a few hundred Navy SEALs and veterans who are going to do a march to support Pete Hegseth.

Now I heard a story yesterday, today, that I'd never heard before. Now of course I knew that Pete had served in the military. I didn't realize that he went twice. Did you know that? That once he was done with his service and had another job and he decided to sign up again because the country needed him. That's, you know, until I heard that I was actually thinking he was a little light on qualification. Right? I mean you probably all had the same feeling. Even if you think he's awesome and most of the people who work with him have incredible high opinion of him. So if I take the opinion of the people who were closest to him he looks really good but not really with the right exact kind of experience. But then I find out that he joined, he volunteered to be in battle zones twice. That's a different kind of person. And I feel like if I were in the military I would follow him because of that. Because he's not going to ask you to do something you wouldn't do. Right? He's not going to ask you to do something he wouldn't do because he would do just about anything apparently to help the country.

So I have to
