at about Victor Davis Hanson? You know, they do have some historians on the Democrat side, but they just seem like crazy partisans. You know, they don't sound as authoritative or as smart or as balanced as Victor Davis Hanson.

What about, I'm going to throw Charlie Kirk in here. If you haven't seen Charlie Kirk's videos of all the public events he's doing, where he does a public debate with anybody who wants to, basically, so people go up to the microphone and they challenge him with one thing after another. And one of the things we've learned is that Charlie Kirk is way smarter than I thought he was. It turns out he has a very deep understanding of all of these topics. And watching him just dismiss one person after another, you think to yourself, "Oh my god, you know, I'm glad he's on our team."

Of course, there's Elon Musk and DOGE, smartest people ever on the Republican team. And I'm going to say maybe on the Trump team as much as the Republican team. A lot of it is Trumpish because Trump is the common sense guy.

David Sacks, every time I hear David Sacks explain something complicated, I think to myself, "Oh, now I understand it because he's just so freaking smart." And I'm going to throw myself in there because I've added to the persuasion understanding of the Trump side.

I don't think there are people like that. There's just a huge difference in capability of the people who are involved and publicly involved in stuff. So is that just my impression? Because it's possible I'm just so biased that I can't see the difference.

So I see in the comments somebody throwing Megyn Kelly in there. Yeah, let's throw Megyn Kelly and Joe Rogan in there. Not as necessarily Trump supporters, but important voices that are the best of the best in podcasting. I think the Democrats will probably catch up and have some big podcasts, but I haven't really heard of any. That's probably just because I don't pay attention to that part of the world.

Oh, somebody's throwing in Jack Posobiec. I'll throw him in there. What about Steve Bannon? Steve Bannon isn't just the guy who needs a haircut who does a show every day. Steve Bannon is really smart. I don't know if you understand how smart he is. He's really smart. Like super smart. Even if you disagree with him, you have to give him that.

So it does seem to me like there's just an enormous talent difference at this point. Yeah, you could throw, I'm seeing lots of other names go by. I won't have to list every name, but there's a big difference in capability at this point.

Anyway, Sam Altman was talking about where AI is going. He says 2025 is the year of the AI agent. Now, the AI agent would be you can have an AI that acts like a person who does whatever you want it to do. You know, work tasks or personal tasks.

I'm not so sure because I don't think there is yet an AI agent that won't hallucinate. If there is, you know, maybe I could be corrected on that, but I feel like they don't have a solution for AI agents. I think it would either be too dangerous. I think they're close, but I don't know if they can close that last gap where the AI agent is dependable. So we'll see.

I mean, there's no reason I would be right on that where, you know, if you were going to bet, you would bet on Sam Altman. You wouldn't bet on me. But I'm a little bit skeptical because if it could be done, I think it would have been done already.

He thinks 2026 will be the year of scientific research and breakthroughs. In other words, AI doing its own scientific research and breakthroughs. That could be true.

Then 2027 is when AI and robotics get together and then you've got robots and AI. Now in theory there will be Optimus that will be driven by AI and that will be available at least in small amounts at the end of this year. I wouldn't be too surprised if that got pushed back. So I think maybe Sam Altman's estimate that it's 2027 is probably right. And I think that that may have to do with the fact that you can't quite trust the AI yet. So putting it in a robot might be a little dangerous in 2025. I think it's doable. You know, you could have a robot in 2025, but probably 2027 is when we trust it.

Now, if you haven't seen it, there's a video of the Optimus robot doing jazz dancing. It's not just dancing, but it's looking like an actual dancer. You know, it's got moves that don't look like a robot, looks like a person. And as I was watching this, you know, I was watching it with the sound off. And I thought to myself, how much does a robot weigh? Does anybody have an idea? How much will the Optimus weigh?

Because could you imagine having the apartment beneath the apartment that has a robot in it? Could you just imagine what it would be like in the first floor apartment if the second floor apartment has an Optimus? Clump, clump, clump, clump, clump, clump. Hey Optimus, show everybody you can dance. Clump, clump, clump, clump, clump, clump.

There's going to be a real problem with the downstairs apartments, let me tell you.

All right. Speaking of robots, I saw this story before and I skipped it the first time or two I saw it because I thought it was more of those someday we'll be able to do this, which is way less interesting than we can do this now. But apparently this is a real thing that exists now that China's doing.

They've got a robot dog, four-legged firefighting machine. So I guess it connects to a hose and it can go into the most dangerous places because it's really good at balance. So even if the stairs are giving out, it can overcome that. It can cool itself if it gets too close to the fire. And it can shoot water like crazy because it carries a hose. And it can even shoot air because I guess sometimes a strong blast of air will kill a fire pretty quickly too.

Now this is not apparently theoretical. It's already in play. So they're already fighting fires with a robot dog in China. So that's amazing. The story is coming from Mashable. Now I don't know if you can completely trust stories coming out of China, but if this is true that they already have a robot dog firefighter, that's going to be pretty amazing.

Could you imagine being trapped in a fire and the robot dog is the first one that gets there, but it can't really carry you out b
