trying to ban trans surgery and trans chemical transitions. Now it's not a direct ban. It's we'll take your federal funding if you're an institution that's involved in this. Do you think it'll stick? I think there'll be lawsuits. But it would be pretty risky for any institution to lose their federal funding because I'm pretty sure it's not a bluff. Chemical castration would be part of what's being banned. So it's pretty bold. That is very bold.

Now is it my imagination or has the trans mania just completely disappeared? So how many years have we been talking about trans issues? Like it seems like nonstop every day. And during that entire time I met zero trans people. And none. I didn't run into any. Did you? It was always so much of a bigger story than it was anything that affects the larger public. Of course if you're in that situation it affects you a lot. But for most of us we just didn't even have any contact with that entire segment of the world. Or maybe we didn't know, didn't notice. But I want the best for all the trans people as well as everybody else. But I like having less news on this topic. I just want to talk about something that isn't trans and isn't a comparison to Hitler. That's all I want. So we'll see how that plays out. I think Trump's on the right side of history on that.

So Trump has warned that Panama is rapidly allegedly taking down its signs that were written in Chinese in Panama. So the idea here is that Trump is saying China has too much control on the Panama Canal. And one way that that's obvious is if you go there, there are more signs in Chinese than there are in other languages. So he's saying that they're rapidly taking down the Chinese signs so it's not so obvious who's controlling them. I thought there was some question about whether China has control of the Panama Canal. I think Republicans say it's a fact and I think Democrats say China doesn't control the Panama Canal. Am I right that there are two movies on one screen there? The Democrats have a completely different idea of what's going on. I think so.

So one of the things I find useful is watching The Five on Fox News, especially when Jessica Tarlov is on the panel. She's the most reliable Democrat to have the alternative story. You know, sometimes there are different people in that chair, but she's really useful because the fake news isn't on one side. You know, there's a little fake news on both sides, right? So sometimes I've got a little blind spot to what the Democrat's version of the story is. So she's really good at giving you the quick version of the Democrat side of things. You know, of course then all heck breaks out because it's a fun show with lots of energy. But I think probably maybe 10 times in the last year or two I've heard something from her that I hadn't seen on my regular look through the news. So very useful. You don't have to agree with the other side, but you'd be crazy not to know what the argument is. So at least listen to the argument.

All right. The Trump
