be able to see the benefits. But the Qataris have a plane that apparently they're willing to part with, a new one. And they said, "Why don't we give it to the Air Force?" So it's not Trump's gift exactly. It'd be given to the Air Force and then somehow later it would be donated to the Trump Library for his use. So that seems a little sketchy. So it feels a little like you'd be getting a free airpl…

According to Elon Musk, Doge has discovered 100,000 active federal employees who are also collecting unemployment insurance. Jim Hoft and the Gateway Pundit are writing about that. Now I think I've told you before that my current view is that I'm not going to believe any of the Doge claims. I'll just tell you that that claim is out there, but probably it's not exactly what it looks like. I don't know. So I think it's better — and this is not something brand new. It's something that Musk said a little while ago. So I think that Musk is smart to stay quiet on all the political stuff which he's been doing, but I'm skeptical of all the Doge claims that sound a little too clever. You know, that one's just a little too on the nose. Might be true, but there have been so many of the Doge claims that sort of didn't pan out that I'm just going to say, well, that's what he claims.
Apparently India and Pakistan, their ceasefire seems to be holding. It didn't hold at first but now it is. That would look like a victory for Trump because the American — I think Marco Rubio and his team were working on making sure that India and Pakistan didn't blow each other up. Now the thing I would say about India and Pakistan is they really didn't want to be in a war. They really really didn't want to be in a war because there's just no way that that's going to be good for either one of them. But what they needed was the fake because they needed some external thing to talk them off the roof so it didn't look like they were backing down. So America just comes in with its big footprint and says, "Hey, you guys knock it off. We'll help you hold this ceasefire or something." So this is where America can really be useful. It was just something that Pakistan and India both needed. They just needed somebody who wasn't either Pakistan or Indian to come in and put a big boot on it and say cut it out. Now that's not exactly what we did. We were being helpful, but that's just a win. If the peace holds, I'd say that's an American win as well as obviously a bigger win for India and Pakistan.
Speaking of war, apparently President Zelensky says he's ready to meet Putin in Turkey. So I don't know if there'll be any ceasefire before then or during then, but Zelensky and Putin are going to meet and that of course would be good for America and certainly something that Trump has been pushing for. Get them to talk and it gets America out of the conversation which is sort of perfe

ct, you know, because I think we would just complicate things at this point. So those two just need to work it out. I guess Germany's new government is already threatening Russia that if they don't do a ceasefire, they're going to put new sanctions on them. So Germany is trying to be helpful there. And of course the Ukrainians and the Russians are just full-on drone war on the front. So ladies a…
