e's not much to say. But I'll just say this: two reality TV stars who both became presidents walked into the White House. What do you think was going to happen? These are two experts at making a spectacle in front of a crowd. Nobody better. I mean, they're the most experienced spectacle makers. Put it on the show. And it's funny that when it was over, Trump looked at the media and said, "It was g…

m Tom Homan? 50,000 in two months? Well last month and a half, right? 50,000. If they're the 50,000 worst or they're among the worst, that's a really big deal because this might represent a reduction of violent crime of like 50 to 100,000 per year because these were the worst of the worst. And if you get rid of the worst of the worst, you know the violent ones and the dangerous ones, it feels like that's a whole lot of crime that's been reduced. That seems like a big number to me.

Do you remember the big hoax in Canada where there was some claim that there were over 200, I guess it, I don't know what you call them in Canada but is it First Nations? They have a different term for the indigenous population before the other Canadians moved in. So in America it would be the Native Americans. I don't know what they call them in Canada. But anyway the thought was that there was some kind of indigenous mass graves that would be suggesting that the Canadians of not too long ago were just murdering them and putting them in a mass grave. So there were big protests. There was a giant thing. It was a big story. And Trudeau put together this committee of experts to go look for any more because he thought oh man this might not even be alone. There might be other mass graves. And so they looked and they looked and they looked. Guess how many they found? Well none. And they just disbanded the entire committee. The entire thing was a hoax. There was never any mass grave in that category. And even after looking for it really hard didn't find any. So that's Canada's fine people hoax basically.

Apparently according to a publication called The New Arab the US is going to pitch to a bunch of Arab real estate developers Trump's Gaza plan. So that's going to come up. So the US will convene a summit with regional real estate developers. That seems like a productive thing. Now you could disagree whether that should be developed or who should own and all that. But I kind of like the fact that the conversation is about who's going to develop it because that feels like you know it's a little optimism, a little potential for the future. I don't know that it'll be optimized and then people will move back but we'll see. But it's good that they're having that.

Did you know according to Substack Eric Dolan's writing that AI can spot depression in old people through their driving habits? Don't all old people drive exactly the same? I don't know how you could tell which ones are depressed but it is called the First Nations. Yes thank you.

All right, so anyway that's happening and that'

s all I had today. So after the show, fairly soon now, Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces event on X and that will be for anybody who wants to talk about this stuff or more. I know you got lots more to say about Zelensky. By the way, how many ways are there to spell Zelensky? I've seen it with Z L E, Z L I, and sometimes with one Y at the end, sometimes with two. And AI doesn't help me becaus…
