I immediately went over to Google and I said to myself, have I been in a coma? Because I followed the news on fusion and I didn't think we were that close. I thought we'd done some demos that show that, you know, for a brief time it can create more energy than it uses, but I didn't think we were anywhere near a practical application where you could just approve it and build it. So given that if yo…

esigning fusion plants based on the latest superconductors and it might actually be practical. Or it might be that they got so close to practical they can't tell for sure if it works until they start building it. I don't know.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos and Trump and Elon Musk had dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Now we don't know what happened at that dinner, but it's been confirmed that it happened. Musk said it was a great conversation. The only thing I have to say about this is how much would you pay to have been at that dinner? You know, if you could have been the fourth person at the dinner and it was Trump, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos, what would you pay for that? I'm trying to imagine how much I would pay for that. It's pretty much $20,000. I would pay $20,000 to be the fourth person at that lunch. And the reason is there are very few things that would be a life experience anywhere near that. Just nothing near that. The horsepower in those three brains is ridiculous.

What I worry about is now that we know that Musk is a puppet master of Trump, I'd be afraid that Jeff Bezos tries to sneak in there and become the puppet master. No, the puppet master thing is, and we'll talk about that some more.

There is a report that Biden and Harris both canceled their flight and Christmas plans and rushed back to the White House last night. We haven't heard what that's about, right? We don't know what that's about. So we were left to speculate. First of all, is it true news? That's the first question because I didn't really see it from a reliable source, but it's on social media. People seem to be confident about it. Was that fake news that they rushed back to the White House? Anyway, so I guess we just wait and see.

Now some people are speculating that maybe this is where they do th

e 25th Amendment and replace Biden with Harris. Now why would they do that given that Harris gets no benefit because she already lost the election? Well, I think it might be because of the Wall Street Journal reporting. Now that the Wall Street Journal reported that Biden's brain was toasted from the first day of office, and when the Wall Street Journal reports and everybody believes it, I mean no…
