escribe it. It's a porcupine. What the hell? What kind of dumbasses listen to "there's no other way to describe it"? Let me see if I can dig deep into my creative powers to find some other way to describe it. Oh, how about putting a capable team in charge of auditing our expenses? How about the legally elected president of the United States gets to pick his staff and tell them what to do? Oh, amaz…

black, if they think that's going to be good enough, they're really not paying attention. They're not paying attention at all. It would just look like a DEI hire even though he's clearly very talented. So let me be clear, Stephen A. Smith would not be a DEI hire like he would be based on his skill if they picked him. But his skill is just very good for a normal person. It's not in Trump's level. You know, it's a different zip code. He's miles away from that.

Meanwhile, the prime minister of Denmark says that Denmark is open to the idea of increasing US military presence in Greenland. This is according to an article in Human Events. And do you remember what I predicted? My prediction was that by starting out saying we want to take Greenland and we want to own it for security reasons, that Denmark would eventually say, well, we can't say that we can't just give away our biggest part of our real estate. But maybe we can let you bring your military in. So now they're saying directly yes, the US could increase its military presence.

Now what would Stephen A. Smith say to that if you were president? I think he would say excellent. That's what we wanted. We wanted to have a military presence there. We don't really need to make a country out of it. That'd be a lot of work. So yeah, thank you. We'll take that offer and we'll increase our military. Everything's good. What would Trump say to the offer of increasing our military in Greenland? Well, I'll tell you what he'd say. Yeah, you know, I think we're going to increase our military in Greenland under every scenario. So that's not an offer because I told you we're going to increase our military in Greenland. So you telling me that we're going to increase our military in Greenland is just you telling me what I told you. What else you got? Are you going to pay for it? If we're going to guard your country, now obviously it's good for everybody in the region, but if we're going to guard your country, we're not doing that for free. So we're either going to own it or you're going to pay for it. You're going to pay for the defense because if you can't do it yourself and you've already admitted it's necessary. See, this is the key. Denmark is not arguing the strategic necessity of increasing the military in Greenland. They're not arguing it. So once they've agreed on that, the question is how. And the only two ways to do it are you pay for our military or we own your island. Which one do you want? See, do you see the difference? An ordinary person, even a very high quality, functioning, smart person, and Stephen A. Smith is all of that, he's high quality, high functioning, very capable, not even close to Trump's level. Not even close. There's no way that he would have known that's the beginning of the negotiations because it looks like it's the end. It's like, oh, that's what we wanted. So now I can't read minds. So it's always unfair to say what somebody would or would not do if it's not you. So I'm a little unfair there, but I'm doing it to make the larger point. So it might not actually apply to this specific situation. But the larger point is that Trump just operates at a different level. And that's the part we want. The part we want is this X factor, the thing nobody else can do. You know, like shaking the box on Gaza. Do you think that Stephen A. Smith would have come up with the idea of well maybe America should just own it but not spend any money and not put any boots on the ground? Nobody would have done that. There's nobody. You have to not only have the mind to come up with it but you've got to have the balls to take the heat when everybody flips out. That's not normal. That's the X factor. That's what Trump has.

I see that it looks like Elon Musk has just agreed with me on X two minutes ago. Somebody just sent it to me. So my post was I said Democrats are terrified of DOGE and Musk because they have never witnessed this degree of competence. It looks alien to them. I mean that literally. People with experience see in DOGE a process that is necessarily messy but 100% on target in terms of speed, talent, and energy. And Musk just said exactly yeah. So once you see that frame you can't unsee it.

Here's what we don't see. Democrats with extensive business experience, which do exist. Let's say Jamie Dimon. Jamie Dimon, I trust him. Don't you? I think Jamie Dimon is a nice centrist. I think he's a Democrat. Do you think that Jamie Dimon is going to say oh everything DOGE is doing is a big chaotic mistake? No, no. If you asked him or any other Democrat with extensive business experience they would say this is what competence looks like. Hiring the best people at any age. That's what Musk did. Best people at any age. Didn't care about their skin color, didn't care about their gender, just best people, any age, any color. Puts them on this incredible march toward this bigger goal which is saving the whole country literally. I mean they are saving the country if they do this right. And it's got to be fast. It's got to be dizzyingly fast. It's got to break a lot of dishes. And then later you can clean up the dishes. But if you're bitching about some dishes getting broken, you're not experienced. This is a dish-breaking process. And if you don't see dishes just breaking like crazy, it means nothing's happening. It means the process is stalled somehow. Every time a dish breaks you should say to yourself an angel got its wings. Okay, I wasn't going to go there but it was just sort of right there. No, the more bitching you hear, the more they say it's chaos, the more they say he's an unelected dictator trying to take over the world, the more that happens the more on target it is. He's got the energy, the talent, the targeting. He's going exactly in the right places and he's just effing things up in a good way the way you should. So yeah, that's purely an experience issue.

Well, here's some good news that you've heard before. Scientists in South Korea found a way to reverse cancer with a molecular switch. Let's see, have we ever heard that South Korea has found a way to cure cancer? Checking notes, checking notes. Once a day, once a day. I think I was maybe in my early 20s and I was a big news reader back then too. And I would say to myself, my God, here's a story about somebody who found a cure for cancer. Like finally the long wait is over. And then you'd never hear about that story again. But the next day there'd be another story about other researchers who found a cure for cancer. And I'd say, well now we got two cures for cancer. And then the next day, the next day. And it never stopped. So for 40 years I've been reading stories about cures for cancer. None of them are real. I think the ones I don't hear about, maybe those are the ones that end up curing a specific cancer or maybe they can help in a little bit in a real way. But I am so tired of cancer cures.

Oh, but wait, there's more. There's a, let's see, I think there's another cure for cancer. Oh no, here's some other stuff. There is now, this i

s cool. Did you know that 50% of men by the time they reach 75 have a hernia? So it's basically just a little bulge and part of your body just below your belt line. And so I have one of those. I have an untreated hernia. If you're wondering why it's untreated, allow me to explain a conversation with my surgeon who would have been the surgeon to do the surgery if I had chosen surgery. So I could ha…
