as to reduce our deficit. I didn't think it was creating a piggy bank that could be doled out. Now I like the fact that people could get $5,000. I mean that would make a really big difference to a lot of people. It's a big deal. But I feel like it might create a precedent where everybody thinks that the DOGE savings are a new piggy bank.

I'm already worried Congress looks at the DOGE savings as oh that's money we didn't have to spend before but he's reduced our expenses by $100 billion so I guess I have another $100 billion to spend. That's not how it's supposed to work. So here's the argument for it though. The argument in favor of it is that voters are not really following the politics very carefully. They know there's a DOGE and they may have heard some good things about it and some bad things about it. If you wanted them to be on board with DOGE before it does the hard stuff like the Pentagon budget, the Social Security, the health care budgets, you might want to bribe them. I could say bribe but it wouldn't be illegal. It would be all transparent. You might want to say hey DOGE is so cool, here's $5,000. And then suddenly your DOGE approval would go from, I think it's over 50%, but it would hit 60 plus percent almost immediately because people would say I don't know much about this but I just got a check for $5,000 so keep going Elon, maybe I'll get another check.

So if you're looking at it from a persuasion perspective to make it easier for DOGE to get the final work done, you know the big savings, to sort of soften the room as it were, this would be a way to do it. Now if Elon is thinking it that way as a way just to make DOGE more successful in the long run, get people on board, that makes sense. That makes sense. But I definitely wouldn't want this to be the beginning of hey we created some free money that can be used in this way or that way.

Meanwhile the Mexican government says that it seized $40 million worth of meth before it crossed the border. And the Daily Caller News Foundation is reporting this, Jason Hopkins. And there's a photo of some Mexican authority over six big blue barrels of something that presumably are some kind of drug. And the question I ask is this: how do we know what's in those barrels? Is it possible that the Mexican government working with the cartels just says every month or so, all right do you have those blue barrels? Yeah we got the six blue barrels. Can you put them in a different building and we'll photograph our guys with heavy weaponry standing by them and we'll say we captured, what's a good number, I don't know 20, 30 million worth, let's go 40, let's go $40 million worth. All right everybody stand by these barrels. Click click click click. There we go. Doing a great job. Just stopped $40 million worth of meth from coming into the United States.

How would we know that they stopped anything? That would be the easiest thing in the world to fake, right? You wouldn't expect anybody to be, I mean it would take the smallest number of people to be involved in the fraud and they probably wouldn't talk. Now I'm not saying it is fraud. I'm just saying if it's indistinguishable from something that could easily be faked, why would you believe it? So I'm going to put it in the category of things I just don't believe could be true. It absolutely could be true. Not buying it. Not buying it at all. It's a little too on the nose. Hey Mexico, we're going to give you big tariffs if you don't stop a lot of drugs. Uh look at these six barrels we just stopped. And a few weeks from now, oh look it's another six barrels. Well those look like the same barrels. Yeah they often use the same kind of barrel material. They like to use the blue barrels. Oh but we found another one. But is that the same six barrels? No it's not the same six barrels. It's five barrels. How easy would that be? Come on.

Meanwhile some good news. PJ Media is reporting, Victoria Taft, that Trump's losing some serious weight. He was asked how much he lost and I think he said he was guessing 15 to 20 pounds. He does look lighter. Now he attributed it to being busy and having no time to eat. But I don't think that's exactly the whole story. There's some kind of source that Victoria Taft had I guess that says that Melania is sort of behind it and that she's been pushing him to eat more healthy food.

But here's the part I just love. Allegedly, now this is from a source, anonymous source, so put it in context, Melania has on occasion, I don't know what on occasion means but on occasion, been cooking family dinners at Trump Tower for the president and their son Barron. I love that. I love that. So do you ever put yourself in Trump's position and just try to imagine what it's like? He can have any luxury. He spends his time around luxury and everything basically he just has access to everything. But the one thing that somebody in his position would have trouble getting is a home-cooked meal with his son and his wife. To me that's worth more than all the other stuff. So to me that just makes me happy if it's true. I mean I assume it's true. I would love to know that Melania enjoys cooking, that she's good at it, and that sometimes she just cooks for the two of them. That would be amazing. That would be amazing.

Yeah but there's more to it. It's much bigger. Imagine if you will that Trump loses, I don't know if he has more to lose but let's say he becomes, felt like he just looks really good on the golf course. Imagine seeing him on the golf course completely trimmed down. Now put that in the context of MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, and RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan and all the push toward staying away from the bad foods and toward the good ones and what how good that will be for us. Imagine if Trump made the move away from processed foods and then you could just watch. Here's why this is a big deal. During the Kennedy administration, JFK I guess he was one of the first politicians to not wear a hat and it killed the entire hat industry. Because when JFK didn't wear a hat people thought I don't have to wear a hat. This hat's kind of a pain in the neck so I won't wear a hat. It killed the entire industry.

So it's hard to appreciate the degree to which the role models make a difference. And if Trump found a way to just sort of gently relax his weight down without using the weight loss drugs, and by the way we wouldn't know if he used one or not, but if he managed to do it through just eating right, that would be amazing for the country. Just the benefit of the country would be amazing. But it also be good for him. So this is one of the things that makes me happiest today.

And then Trump does this. This is reported by Jim Hoft in The Gateway Pundit. So he's signed an executive order to expand and reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. So he wants to make fertility treatments more accessible for American families. Now the executive order just says that he's putting together a group to study it and find a way to make it less expensive. It's super expensive. So if you want to have a baby and you're going to need in vitro fertilization it could cost you up to $25,000 per cycle and it might not work so you might have to do more than one cycle. $25,000 a shot. And health insurance covers some of it but it's limited and only a quarter of employers offer it. And apparently 85,000 infants were born as a result of IVF in 2021.

Now this is in the context of the natural birth population of the United States dropping. So it's important. It's important that we have ways to make as many babies as possible in ways that are healthy and family supports them and stuff like that. But what I wondered was, wasn't this one of the biggest things that the Democrats worried about? That they used to lie and say that he doesn't like IVF or I think they said JD Vance doesn't like it or something. It was all fake because he's always been in favor of it.

But I tried to think, okay I'll put myself in the shoes of a Democrat. How do they explain that one of the biggest things that they were complaining about Trump is he would take your bodily autonomy which would include IVF, that you take it away. And not only is he not taking it away, he is doing serious things to make it more available and cheaper. And then I realized, oh here's the natural attack line. Do you see it yet? Let's see if you have it in the comments. Do you see the natural attack line where they're going to get him? It jumps out as soon as I tell you. You're going to say oh how did I not see that. Here it is. Trump's trying to make more white babies. Boom.

Because I don't know this, I don't have any statistics, but I'll bet you given that it costs $25,000 per cycle I'll bet you the high income people are the people with good jobs and good insurance and a little extra cash, a lot of extra cash, are probably the only ones that have used it so far. Which would suggest probably it's concentrated in maybe white and Asian-American families because they're high income. And how easy would it be for Joy Reid to say well it looks like white supremacist Trump has figured out a way to make more white babies. Oh that is so coming. When it should be oh I guess we lied about everything when we said he was going to get rid of IVF. That should be the story. That MSNBC and his critics lied about everything. It was never true and this is proof it was never true. They're still going to say you're racist.

In other news, a law firm that apparently handles Elon Musk's stuff is putting together a draft for a legislative change in Delaware. Now of course it's just a law firm so they don't get to vote on it but they're proposing it through probably some, I assume some politicians are on board. CNBC is reporting this, Laura Kudney. And so the law firm is trying to get a change in Delaware that would possibly open the door for Elon Musk to get that big, was it $56 billion pay package or whatever it was that he was denied because a Delaware judge said that that pay package agreement is invalid because Elon Musk had too much control over the company that gave it to him. And since it was basically a conflict of interest the judge said we're throwing it out.

Now I don't believe the company had any complaint about it. I think there was one stockholder who bought a few shares and did it just to take down Elon. But his law firm is making a very creative attack. And the attack is that Delaware has become sort of poison for corporations because of exactly this sort of thing. You saw Bill Ackman moved his company out of Delaware. That they just register in Delaware. They're not based in Delaware. But they're saying that they can make Delaware what it used to be, a place you could trust to register your corporation, because now people don't trust it. So he said we can get back to Delaware having the advantage of being this great place to register your corporation with just a few changes. One of the changes would be that if you owned less than one-third of the stock of the company you would be presumed not to control it. One-third. Now that's pretty reasonable. If you owned 51% obviously you do control it. If you own 40% you kind of almost control it. But 30% seems fair. That seems quite reasonable. That if you're below 30% you're not by definition controlling the company. Now you could argue whether some personalities could still control the company with 30% but that if it got adopted it would make other corporations feel a little more comfortable having their corporation registered there.

But here's the best part of the story. The name of the law firm is Richards, Layton & Finger. Richards, Layton & Finger. Now when I see Richard in this case it's the last name not a first name it always makes me think dick because you know dick is the nickname for Richard. So even though it's Richards with an s I just see a dick. And then there's Layton. First three letters are lay. Layton I guess and that makes me think of sax because lay you know. And then the last name is Finger. So it's really dick lay finger. Like when I read it and I'm thinking come on of all the law firms in the world Elon Musk picked the one that makes me think of dick lay and finger. Perfect. It's just perfect. Anyway we'll keep an eye on that.

Judicial Watch is asking for a probe of ex-Gen. Milley for what he did in planning January 6. This is being reported by Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner. So let's call Judicial Watch a legal watchdog. That would be a good description. And they're trying to figure out if they can get records about what the exact conversations were between Mark Milley and his top Pentagon and other officials, Homeland Security, etc.

Now the thinking is that you've probably heard people who know more than I know say General Milley is probably behind the whole January 6 operation. You know maybe he intentionally made security light so that they could turn into what looked more like an insurrection or they could at least frame it that way. Now I don't know if any of those accusations are true. I'll just say that he's long been accused by members of the right as being the obvious culprit if in fact there's a culprit.

But here's my larger comment. I want you to just think about this for a moment. Have you ever noticed how rarely the United States has a large-scale protest unless it's funded and organized by shadowy forces? Has it ever happened in my lifetime? In my whole life have citizens of the United States ever self-organized because they really cared about a thing no matter what that thing was? Black Lives Matter, that was not organic. We know that now. That was just funded and organized. Antifa went away as soon as Biden became president which is a little sketchy, right? We've seen all the color revolutions in other countries where all the protests are literally organized by shadowy external forces.

And so but let me ask this question. To the best of your knowledge has there ever been a self-organized large-scale protest about anything in the United States during your lifetime? Vietnam War, maybe, maybe not, probably organized by shadowy forces but I don't know. But let's just say in the last 20 years. In the last 20 years do you think there's ever been a large-scale organic protest? Do you think, what was the name of the Wall Street one that kind of went away? Then there was a Tea Party then that kind of went away. I've got a feeling that Americans just can't organize spontaneously if it's not funded by people who know how to make things happen. I don't think it happens.

Take for example the government spending us into certain doom with our deficit and then every year they'll just sign some continuing resolution which says well we'll just add to the deficit because we don't want to make decisions. Don't you think that watching your elected representatives send you into certain doom, not maybe certain doom, you don't think that that would be enough to organize a million people on the street? Of course it would if we cared about topics. If people were simply outraged by bad performance of people or policies they don't like you would see gigantic protests every week or two because there's plenty of stuff to protest. All kinds of stuff. What about DOGE? What about all the people who think DOGE is a bad idea? Where's the protest? Nobody's paid for one yet. There might be one but it will be funded and organized by shadowy people.

So I'm going to just put down this marker. Don't know if it's completely true but I don't believe there's any evidence that Americans ever organize in large scale like January 6 unless there's somebody shadowy behind it. I just don't think it ever happens. I'd love to be proven wrong. Well I wouldn't love it but it'd be interesting. I try to think, I've told you this before but you know when I built my house I built a home theater. It's very small but you know it's like 10 seats. 10 seats in a little home theater. And I thought oh how great this will be to invite friends over to watch a movie. I could never get two people who wanted to watch the same movie at the same time. And then I'm watching Black Lives Matter and Antifa get like thousands and thousands of people in the street and I'm saying to myself in what country can you do that? But where can you get all those people to do that thing if I can't get two people to even watch a movie at the same time? So no I don't think that Americans organize without shadowy forces behind them. I don't think the Tea Party was organic. Do you? I don't believe it at all. And again I don't have
