nk you could drive the DEI out of Berkeley? That would be the ultimate test. I feel like the Berkeley-ites would die before they gave up on their entire woke agenda. So we'll see. And Pam Bondi, AG, says that the goal is clear: to end illegal discrimination and to restore merit. So good. And of course, you know, there was a lot of pressure on Columbia for I think it was not just DEI but making su…

sses that way. So we'll see. Good luck, Mississippi.

Here's one of the least surprising stories of the day. According to Roger Stone, who knows a lot about the JFK assassination because he wrote a book about it, so he's done a bunch of research, knows exactly what he's talking about. Joe Hoft is writing about this. So Stone says that he knows that there are some documents that have not been released because there are documents he's seen. So he knows they're not released. I don't know how he saw them or maybe he just knows of them.

So he said, for example, where is the full FBI document of Carlos Marcello where he said that he knew of JFK's assassination before it occurred? He knew before it happened. That would certainly suggest something's up. So did you really expect that the JFK files would be complete? My prediction was if there was anything good in there, like really mind-blowing, that we'd never see it, but that we'd sort of move on because we'd think, okay, they sure released a lot of stuff, nothing new. And then we would just act like somehow we'd been satisfied with the truth. Of course there was no chance we would see all the documents. So I'm even surprised there are any documents that would be damning in any way. So maybe that's already destroyed.

It's more of a merger, and the combination will value the AI part at 80 billion and the X part at 33 billion, which is 4

5 billion less 12 billion in debt. So here's the fun part. The AI will now have access to train itself on the entire body of X content. Isn't that going to make Elon Musk's AI the best AI like right away? Because I don't know if the other AIs trained on it would be illegal if they did, I suppose, without permission. But if there's an AI that's learned everything that's on social media or could, t…
