no difference. He's just the pointy-haired boss. So his latest Tim Walz-ism is he was explaining to an audience why he was selected as the VP candidate and he said, quote, "I could codetalk to the white guys watching football, fixing their truck. I was the permission structure to say look you can do this and vote for this." That is the least male thing anybody ever said. "I could codetalk to whit…

Yesterday I talked about a video I saw from Anduril. That's the new defense contractor that does the newest high-tech defense stuff. And they had a man-portable, they call it, meaning one person could carry it, device called a drone killer called the Pulsar. And they showed a video where one of the people demonstrating the Pulsar was aiming it at a big swarm of drones coming over the hill and it knocked down all the drones. And apparently I was one of many people who said that can't be real. Like it just looks too good. It must be CGI. And Palmer Luckey had to tell the public, "No, we have a rule against using CGI if it's anything that can be seen." So they would use CGI to maybe show an electric pulse or something, which they didn't do, but they would never use CGI to show something in the physical world that wasn't real. So it was real. So it worked so well apparently that it looked fake.
Now if one soldier can carry this gun-shaped object that can take out an entire swarm of drones coming over the hill, how many of those would you have to give to Ukraine before the Russian military was completely neutered? Because it's a drone war at this point, right? It's sort of turned into trench warfare, but the humans are not leaving the trenches, just the drones. So in theory you could calculate how many of them would completely neuter the Russian drone attacks, at least the local ones that were on the front line. So I don't know, maybe there's something coming that we don't know about.
At the same time, speaking of drones, according to Defense Scoop the cartels on our southern border, the Mexican

cartels, are using their own drones to surveil our military that's on the border now. And our military is looking for counter-drone capabilities. Now, wouldn't that be the Anduril device? I don't know how many options they have, but it does seem like if they can see the drones and they know where the drones are coming from and they know they're cartel drones, don't they just have to aim that Andur…
