3 and Model Y that's delivered in the United States uses batteries that are 100% made in America? Did you think we could even do that? I didn't even know that America could make that many batteries. But apparently Tesla has been able to make all of its batteries completely in America for some time now. So that's interesting to know. And according to a post I saw on X by Nick Cruz Patain, he says…

So we have actual documents showing Hunter Biden getting money from these other countries. I'm pretty sure that some of this was while his father was vice president. And I guess the IRS and the FBI was fully aware that he was receiving this money from foreign sources, but there were no investigations. There were no arrests, no nothing. So apparently our major government entities that are supposed to keep people on the right side of the law, they just saw this Biden crime family situation and said, we're not going to touch this. So apparently the Biden crime family was exactly what you thought it was. They were taking money from other countries and selling their influence or at least the impression of influence. I'm not sure how much influence they actually sold.
I'm loving how the Maryland dad who may or may not be MS-13 story is developing because it couldn't be more fun. Even though it's terrible, it couldn't be more fun because every day it seems like there's a new revelation about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. So that makes it even more embarrassing for the Democrats to be fully on board supporting this guy. So the latest is you already knew that he had been once stopped while he was driving a vehicle with eight people in it who only had Garcia's home address as their address. Now that's a strong indication that he was involved in human trafficking, meaning picking up people at the border who were not citizens and delivering them to the interior of the country and having them stay here illegally. But what we've learned is that the vehicle did not belong to Kilmar. It belonged to somebody who was a target suspected of human trafficking. Apparently our authorities knew that that particular vehicle made trips to the southern border to pick up non-citizens. So pretty much for sure he was doing human trafficking.
So now the Democrats have to support somebody who is credibly accused of being an MS-13 guy and now credibly accused of being a human trafficker and credibly accused of being a wife beater. And you wonder how much deeper this can go. Like how many new things can we find out about this guy? I feel like it's going to go, and yes, it did turn out he murdered some nuns. And then a week later we'll find out, well, yes, he kept their bodies in a freezer in the basement. And then a week later it'll be like, he's a cannibal. He is a cannibal. And the Democrats will still be racing down to El Salvador to say, free the cannibal, the human trafficker wife beating MS-13 cannibal. Free him now because process makes all the difference.
You know what I worry about? This is something I learned from the Democrats. You've probably heard that there's something called the Department of Justice and they will often arrest people for things like murder and then those people will be sent to jail if they're convicted. And I'm thinking, isn't that kind of a slippery slope? If they could arrest people who are proven to have murdered people and they could put those people in jail, can't they pick up people who have never murdered anybody and never committed any crimes at all and put them in jail too? According to Democrats, that would be a risk. I learned that from the story about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Well, Governor Abbott in Texas just signed some legislation to give Texas their own state DOGE. So I guess they're going to build the ability to make their government more efficient. But there was one thing that I loved about the statement. This is from Abbott. He said that the new DOGE in Texas will ensure that Texas is operating at the speed of business and it will make it easier for Texans to do business blah blah. I love that framing that the government in Texas will operate at the speed of business. I don't think you could phrase that better. Now somebody said that that was a UPS slogan from long ago, but no matter where they got it, that is just such a well-chosen phrase that the state could operate at the speed of business because that's exactly what you want. You want the government not to slow you down.
Speaking of that, according to the Washington Times, the amount that businesses spend to satisfy federal regulations, of which there are thousands of new ones every year, is $2.1 trillion per year. Yeah, actually more than that. So the amount that we waste by just satisfying various infinite government federal regulations, this is just federal, this is not even state, $2.1 trillion per year. That's the same as the entire amount of the budget deficit. $2.1 trillion. I think we can do better.
According to the Hill, the Washington Post has struck a deal with OpenAI. So now if you're using OpenAI and you're searching for something that has been in the news, it will give you summaries and quotes and links from the Washington Post. So how do you feel about that? The Washington Post will be a primary, maybe the primary news source for the biggest AI, OpenAI. Does that give you anything to worry about? Well, I'll tell you, my trust in OpenAI as a source of independent and accurate information just went down 40%. Approximately 40%.
Because as you know, and of course I can't prove this, but the Washington Post has always been alleged to be kind of tight with the intelligence community of the United States, sort of working hand in

glove. If the CIA needed to get a message out, they could do it through the Washington Post. Now that's the allegation. And then when Bezos bought the Washington Post, which was bleeding money, you probably said to yourself, why would he do that? Like why would you buy something that really couldn't possibly make money? And was it because Jeff Bezos wanted to control the news? There's not really a…
