thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens right now.

Go.

Thank you, Paul. Everything's working fine today.

All right. Well, the big news, in case you missed it, is that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched his own show. Oh, okay. What was I talking about? Oh, sorry. I was saying that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched... I'm just going to move to the next story. I can't make it through that one.

Well, as you know, Trump has signed his executive order banning biological men in women's sports. As he likes to say, women seem to like it a lot. You know, I'll tell you, there's a lot of people doing victory laps and people who worked for years on certain things. So is this not a big victory for Riley Gaines? Imagine being Riley Gaines. She kind of risked everything to just work on this issue, and she was really good at it. And here we are now. It's not because of any one person, but she certainly was leading the charge. Also, J.K. Rowling took tremendous heat. Victory lap time for the victory laps. And there's a whole bunch of people who have been toiling for years on individual topics like DEI, and suddenly they're all winners. You know, Robby Starbuck and Christopher Rufo and people like me. And we get a victory lap too. So lots of victory laps lately. I like that.

Wall Street Journal says the government's trying to ban DeepSeek. DeepSeek would be that less expensive Chinese AI, and I guess it's an app. And now it's not going to be legal if this passes. It's just introduced as a bill. But if this passes, then you can't have that AI on a government computer because they worry it will grab your information and send it back to China, which it might.

Now, my first prediction about DeepSeek is that it wouldn't be as dangerous as you thought to American AI companies because the government would just tie it up in legal problems. They'll just make it illegal. And sure enough, it's basically the TikTok model. They start with banning it in the government because that's maybe easiest. But yeah, they're going to ban it. I would be surprised if it's still in the App Store in a year.

As you know, the Army has shattered records for recruitment since the election of Trump. Do you think that's a coincidence? What would make people want to join the military just because Trump is president? Could it be less likely to get into wars that don't matter? That might be part of it. Could it be just a rise in, you know, man, you know, sort of male energy? Although obviously a lot of women join the service as well. Could it be that joining the service has now transformed from something like a thing for gay people to something like a lethal force protecting the country? Because I got to say that my entire impression of the military was it's just a big LGBTQ cheering thing that occasionally gets into wars we wish we didn't have. Trump fixed all of that just by existing and being Trump. So yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence that people are signing up all of a sudden. Probably not a coincidence.

Laura Trump is going to join Fox News one night a week on Saturdays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Now, remember, I always tell you that Fox News is just better produced. You know, that's one of those things. If you haven't been around the media business a lot, as I have, you're not going to notice the difference in producers. You're just going to say, "Oh, I like this show better than that show." And maybe you'll think it's the talent. But the producers have a lot to do with the success. And this is exactly perfect. Yeah, Laura Trump is exactly who they should be giving a Saturday night show to. If she does well, obviously they'd look at maybe expanding that. So yeah, it's once again Fox News in their talent and production stuff. They get a lot right.

Mitch McConnell fell down the stairs again. He may have been a little bit injured, but nothing life-threatening. And my question is, how much do McConnell's peers hate him that they would allow him to use stairs? There's no other way to get from one place to another. There's no elevators. They don't have any handicap access to other floors. I would think there'd be an elevator everywhere that McConnell goes. So who just stood there and watched him struggle on the stairs and said, "Oh, that'll be fine"? I mean, it almost feels like they hate him
