us sip, and it's going to happen right now.

Go.

Extraordinary. All kinds of things happening. I hear some airports in New Jersey are being closed or there's some kind of warning because of the drones. So apparently no matter what we do, this drone story doesn't go away. Have any of you settled on your best theory about the drones? We're not going to talk about it today, but there's that one bit of new news. Well, I think it's going to be a combination of different things and people who don't know things and a little mass hysteria and a little bit of truth. A little bit of everything in there.

Did I see that Harris just got a $20 million book deal? Every time an ex-president gets a multi-million dollar book deal, I just assume that's illegitimate. Does that feel like a bribe? I feel like there's some kind of backdoor deal. I don't know. I mean, I don't have any information about it, but I feel like there's always a backdoor deal where the publisher will come out whole no matter how many books are sold. There's something going on with this whole publisher situation anyway.

Fani Willis apparently is disqualified from the Trump election case. The Georgia higher court ruled that she had some kind of conflict of interest. So Trump just keeps winning. It's just non-stop winning.

Andrew Huberman reminds us that the research shows the clear benefit of drinking coffee. It gives you more attention, focus, and athletic performance. So if you enjoyed the simultaneous sip, you're probably feeling like you have more attention, more focus, and you're better at sport. I know you can feel it. It just takes one sip.

Would you be surprised to know that there's another breakthrough in battery storage? Yes, Rice University. They figured out some newly discovered material that integrates three modes of energy storage, which I call trimodal. And it uses boric acid and sulfuric acid. Some kind of acid. And it's inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and all that.

Now again, the only reason I read these stories every single day about battery storage is it really is everything. If we somehow could make our battery storage five times better, civilization would be really different. And it looks like that's going to happen one way or the other.

There's a study according to USA Today that women lawmakers are 70 times more likely to be victims of deepfake porn. Let's see if there was any way that they could have saved time and money on this study. Is there anything they could have done to be certain they had the right answer but not to spend the money and the time to do the study? Well, you could have asked every single human male. I think every one of us would have gotten this right.

Let's see. Would I rather see — I'm not going to name names. I was going to name names, but now I realize how classless that is. I was going to say, would I rather see Mitch McConnell naked and having a threesome, or would I rather — and then I stopped myself because if I put in a name, then that becomes the news. But you know what I mean. Yes, surprise. People like to see women more than men.

The economy is kind of strong if you don't count the debt that's going to kill us all. But the economy grew a little bit better than expected. 3.1% in the third quarter, beating expectations that were merely 2.8. I pity the people who made those poor projections. Consumer spending was good. The GDP price index is up, and the core prices rose but not much more than expectation, 2.2%. So the bottom line, of course, is that the Fed probably doesn't have a reason to do too many cuts. When the Fed cuts interest rates, that's what makes the stock market go up.

So now that we know that the rates won't be cut as much as we thought because the economy is stronger, in theory the market should be down today, right? But it's not. What happened was there something that happened yesterday that had potentially enormous financial impact on the United States in a positive way. Did something happen? Ye
