ation. That's convenient. And the other was found by a plainclothes fed, really. So the two people, one was found by a plainclothes fed, and the other was planted by somebody with some connections to the intel world. Okay. Both bombs sat in plain sight undetected for 15 hours or more until both were found independently within 15 minutes of each other. Obviously the order went out to pretend you fo…

top speeds of 101 miles per hour, and it's super aerodynamic. So that's a big deal. The more competition there is in that space, the better.

And there's a study that says that video conferencing, where you see yourself on the screen like on, I'm seeing myself, I'm talking to you, but the picture on the screen is the same thing you're seeing, like a Zoom call, you know, you see yourself. And the study finds, according to the Boston University School of Medicine, that the pandemic caused people to use Zoom more and Google Meetings and stuff. And that people feel bad about themselves when they see themselves all the time on screen because it would be like looking in a mirror all day. And if you don't like how you look, it's really getting impressed on you that you don't look the way you want. And it's apparently making some people have some mental illness about their body image.

Now, here's what I noticed. It feels to me like every time there's a technical innovation in society, there's some demographic of society that is made crazy by it. Like actually get mental illness because of something about it. Like your phones make a lot of people go crazy, not everybody. And there's some dispute about whether that's even true. But don't you think it's always the women? No, sometimes it's men. But who's having all the body image problems because they're looking at themselves on Zoom? I mean, I have the same feeling when I play back my recordings, and when I'm looking at myself, I think, oh, I should, I wish I didn't have that or I wish that was different. But it doesn't really make me sad because I have a mirror. I've seen myself. I know exactly what the pluses and the minuses of me are. So it seems like it's again the young female demographic. If you force them to use Snapchat or Instagram or just Zoom, they're going to be focusing on what they look like, and it's going to give them a little mental illness problem.

So that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I wanted to talk about today. There is just so much going on, and weirdly most of it's positive. It's weirdly positive. The Greenland thing just gives us, it's such a palate cleanser, isn't it? Like when we're talking about other things, it's like there's some horrible crime involved or there's some big unsolvable problem or somebody hates somebody. But Greenland is probably a bunch of people who just are fine with the United States, wouldn't mind, probably think they'd come out ahead if they were part of the United States. We think it'd be a good idea. Nobody's really against it. Denmark will resist because that's negotiation or maybe they really want t

o keep it. I don't know. But it's so just pleasant to think about. Wouldn't it be nice to just add to the country? It's just a good feeling. All right, that's all I got. I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately for a moment. Wow, yeah, Greg Gutfeld's back. The main cast of The Five is back, and everything's good now. All right, locals, I'm coming at you. Everybody else will see you tom…
