and they've got time for comment, it becomes literally impossible. So it's not just that it didn't happen. It's that the system was impossible. So anybody who tried to apply to be one of the people who executed on these funded projects couldn't get through it. It would take you the rest of your life if you got through it at all. So there is no way to actually execute on these well-meaning Democra…

and improve delivery. So he said they've had a bunch of geniuses come over to RFK Jr.'s domain to try to figure out how to do that. Can you imagine how much money could be driven out of healthcare if you only knew what worked and what doesn't? Separately, I saw another story, I didn't write this one down, about how there's a large number of complications with medication that are very specific to your genetic makeup. So if you could, of course there's a problem. You know, anytime your genetic makeup is part of a database, you have to worry about that. But imagine if we just had those two databases: what's your genetic makeup, and how does this drug do for people with your genetic makeup? And you could get rid of something like 9% of all the injury. That's huge. That's huge.

So but think of all the different ways that AI could just make everything work better. Do you think you've ever taken a medication that didn't work well with the other medications you were taking and you just didn't know it? Probably. Probably. And AI could help you with that. So at the very least, you should take a picture of all your pill bottles with AI. And the next time you get a prescription and say I get a new prescription, is it going to work well with all the ones I already have? And by the way, if you use ChatGPT at the highest level, the expensive one, you can literally do that. You could just put all your pill bottles in a row and just put it on video and just take a picture of all your pill bottles and say I'm going to add this pill. My doctor said to add this one. And it will tell you. It'll tell you which ones don't work with other ones. More so I think even then your doctor would, I mean they're supposed to flag it, but you can't expect them to know every interaction. I've never seen a doctor look up an interaction while I was talking to him. I wonder if this system does that for him, you know. And my healthcare system is pretty well automated. So it might be that if they just prescribe it, maybe it puts up a warning. I don't know. I'm kind of skeptical that it's already built into the system, but it could be. Could be big.

Meanwhile, dumb Tim Walz, he was at some kind of event and he was urging Democrats to get more serious about DEI and immigration. He thinks that the problem was they didn't go hard enough on those things. So he goes, quote, "We'd let them define the issue on immigration. We'd let them define the issue on DEI. And we let them define what woke is. We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold enough to stand up and say you're damn right we're proud of these policies. We're going to put them in and see, and we're going to execute them." I think the only thing he executed were whatever was remaining of the Democrats' chance of ever having a president again. Let's be serious. Is this the dumbest guy you've ever seen in your life? Tim Walz is just not smart. He's just not smart. So wow. Every time I see one of their leaders say something, I just shake my head, you know. And keep in mind, I just want to give you some reference. When I used to watch Bill Clinton talk, I used to think, wow, he's really smart, even if I didn't agree with him. When I saw Obama talk, I would say, well, at least you're very smart, even if I didn't agree with him. But when I see Walz or Jasmine Crockett, I just think, God, you're dumb and I disagree with you. That's a tough combo, to be dumb and wrong at the same time.

All right. Many of you may have seen clips or watched Bret Baier on Fox News interview DOGE and Elon Musk. And I got to say I was so impressed. Now here's something that I say all the time and it's because I'm a nerd. But Fox News has the best producers. If you look at that again, just look how good the lighting is, the set, the makeup, the hair, the clothes, the physical setup and the whole thing. They're just so good at producing what they do. They're the best in the industry by far. So anyway, I've never seen Musk look so go

od. You know, maybe sometimes he's more tired or the lighting's bad or whatever, but he looked great. Like he looked healthy and like completely in charge. So that was great. But the other thing that I noticed is that Musk is a talent stack guy, meaning that whatever talents he has, which are considerable of course, he is continually adding to them. And I believe that his close association with T…
