path for a while, but it's good to see Naval say it because he's smarter. So it's good when smart people agree with you. All right, here's something that probably is a nothing but might be a really big thing. Now before I tell you, I would like to say what the NPCs will say. You know I do this as a service so they don't have to do it. When I'm done I want you to yell, "That's Soylent Green! I don…

rotein in an indoor farm? I know you can grow lettuce and stuff like that that nobody wants to eat too much. I mean, how much lettuce do you want to eat? So I was always saying indoor farms aren't going to work until you can make protein. This is apparently something you can do in an indoor facility, and it's got protein like crazy and you could add it to just about anything.

So maybe — I'm not sure that this would work at small scale because the indoor facility that they show pictured is a big industrial scale, but I don't know. So here are the advantages: It grows really fast. It doesn't need fertilizer. It's got tons of nutrients. It doesn't need pesticides, doesn't need fertilizer, and it doesn't compete with other crops for farmland. It can be sustainably cultivated in shallow trays of clean water and greenhouses or vertical farms. So is this what I've been waiting for? I don't know what it tastes like. I suppose you can flavor it any way you want. But if this seems like a small and boring little topic, I think we're going to have to get to the point where people are growing their own food, you know, maybe in small co-ops, because all the problems with food are the middleman, the chemicals they put in it that you don't want them to put in it, the transportation and the storage. Those are all the problems. Well, you can get rid of all those problems by growing your own food in your neighborhood if you could grow something with protein. So maybe this is it.

Well, there's a new hoax. Have you heard that the Pete Hegseth drinks whiskey in public while doing a presentation hoax? So this hoax says that when Pete Hegseth was giving a talk at whatever this was, at the big security event in Europe, that he reached for where they always keep a glass of water — you know, usually if you're a speaker they make sure you've got water you can drink — and the thinking was that it was whiskey.

Now here's one of the things that the Democrat hoaxes have in common. They're so ridiculous. They're so ridiculous. Do you really think that Pete Hegseth, who's been accused of drinking too much before he was nominated, do you think that he stood in front of a huge crowd in a televised event and then picked up a glass with a clearly brown-looking liquid that wouldn't be water and then drank it in front of the group? Does anybody think that could really happen in the real world?

It's just like the fine people hoax and the drinking bleach hoax. You don't have to know anything to know it didn't happen. That obviously didn't happen. And it was just something about the way the light hit the water. So no, there's no truth to the thought that he was drinking bourbon or something on stage. So dumb. Meanwhile AOC is calling for the governor of New York to remove Mayor Adams, who…
