didn't fill them with foreign students paying full tuition. Is anybody having the same reaction that I had when I first thought of it? Is anybody saying, "Oh, I just sort of assumed that was true. I didn't really think about it that much"? No, it couldn't have been true. It never could have been true. I don't know what is true, but it's definitely not that.

Anyway, is there any other news about Harvard that makes Harvard look stupid? Oh yeah. Again, I have to tell you before I tell you this story, I'm not making it up. This is an actual story in the news. According to the Daily Mail, Harvard just fired a professor after finding that she fabricated research used in studies on dishonesty. So Francesca Gino, she was considered a star business professor at Harvard and she'd been doing studies, more than one study. I guess there were at least four studies she did about honesty and she had allegedly falsified. She lied. She lied on her studies about lying. Oh my God. And she was like a star professor. Oh my God. I swear I didn't make that up.

Well, Dan Bongino is giving us a little update on X about what's going on there. And he said that he made the decision to either reopen or push additional resources into investigating three specific cases. He mentioned number one the DC pipe bombing investigation. You know how it seemed like nothing was happening with that DC, you know, that was the January 6, who put the pipe bomb there because that all looked really suspicious. So that's good. I'm glad that he's putting some resources behind that.

The next one is the cocaine discovery at the White House. Really, Dan? How many of you give a shit about the cocaine discovery at the White House? How many years ago? Does anybody care about that? Is that where you want your tax money to be spent? Do you want the FBI to go look into who left the bag of cocaine? I have so little interest in that. Now, I assume that's purely political and I don't mind that political stuff gets done, but why are you wasting our money on a bag of cocaine even in the White House? So Dan, why in the world are you spending time and money on that? Like what could come of it? Like what's the upside? Is the upside that we get one person in trouble for some drugs? What is the upside?

Now, I understand the upside of looking into that DC pipe bombing and that's a pretty big upside because we could find out something that really matters and I think the country cares. But really, the bag of cocaine just because it was a big headline story. How about no? How about you just don't waste my money on that? It's bad enough that the Congress is not going to vote on DOGE, but you're gonna consciously waste my money on that one bag of cocaine that somebody left. God, I could not be less interested in that.

And the other one is the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. Well, I think they do need to understand where the leaks come from, but I don't know if they can find it.

Anyway, I saw a comment on X from retired Colonel Doug McGregor. Now, it means more because he's a retired combat professional. And he said this about peace in Ukraine. He said, "In all honesty, I do not believe there's a chance for a deal with Russia and Ukraine at this point." He says, "If you're Zelensky, the worst thing that could happen to you is for troops to come home." You know where this is going. He says they are likely to find him and kill him. If he ends the war, he's the target. The lives lost on the battlefield exceed one million and the wounded are one to one and a half to two times that number.

Now, does that opinion sound familiar? That's my opinion. My opinion is if Zelensky ended the war, he would personally be killed. So that we don't have any option for peace as long as he's in power. So it makes a difference when I hear from Colonel McGregor because he's got a deeper understanding of how the troops would feel in a case like that. But I agree absolutely.

I have a correction to make. I don't know the exact details but I think my part of it was wrong. I told you about Gaza and I told you that the US contractors were going to handle the aid and the food for the Gaza residents who were being relocated into one quarter of Gaza so that the rest of it could be cleared of Hamas, I guess. And I mistakenly said that the US was paying for that foreign aid. I think it's only true that US contractors are managing the aid but probably being paid to do it. That makes them contractors. But it doesn't look like America necessarily was paying for the aid. I don't know who is.

Well, I saw Zuby on the X platform talking about some statistics about single moms and he noted that the USA has the highest rate of children living in single mother households. We're about triple the global average. So 23% of USA households have a single mom. And Zuby asks, "Why do you think that is? Does anybody have an idea? Why do you think that the US has the highest rate of children living in single mother households?" And the answer is because it's an option. That's it. That's the whole reason. If it's an option, people will take it. And the better the option is, the more likely they'll take it.

Now in my own example I have twice married single moms who had stepkids. Now do you think that that happens as easily in other countries? Do you think that in every country in the world a single mom with two kids can easily get married or remarried? Probably not. Probably there are huge cultural disadvantages. Do you think that it would be easy for a mom to get divorced in every other country? Probably not. Do you think that the woman has maybe a job that pays before she gets divorced? Well, not in every country, but in the US a little bit more likely.

So there's a whole different story in the black community in the US where the rate is even higher. It's like 50%. And I'm not going to pretend I know what the dynamics are there, but maybe it has something to do with government support. You know, maybe there's just a little bit more government support going on. But generally speaking, things happen because there's incentives or because there are options or because it's possible. That's it. If we were in a country where getting divorced was sort of the end of your life, it just wouldn't happen as much. But we live in a country where people make it work. I mean, it's not easy, but they make it work. They have possibilities. They have options. So if their husband is drinking or not getting it done one way or the other, they have options. So I don't think it goes, I think there's no mystery to it whatsoever.

In science news, surgeons are apparently getting some kind of special glasses that can look at medications and it will tell them if it's a big mistake to give this medication to this specific patient. So we're talking about literally picking the wrong stuff or something that maybe doesn't work with some other stuff and it doesn't store the data. So it's not doing anything privacy-wise. But basically if they pick up the medication, the glasses will look at it and it will tell them, "Oh, don't use that stuff." So they're still waiting on FDA approval, but the technology has been tested and it works. NBC News is reporting on that.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, those are the stories for today that are worthy of your time. Thanks for joining. And did you all see the video of French President Macron's wife pushing him in the face before he exited the airplane in Vietnam? I'm still waiting to figure out what that was all about. But on the other hand, it's sort of none of our business because whatever that was, it was personal. You know, it wasn't a state issue, but it was funny. I guess that's my only comment about it. It was kind of funny. We don't know anything else about it.

All right, that's all I got for now. I'm going to talk to the people on Locals privately. The rest of you, I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for joining Locals. I'm coming at you privately in 30 seconds.
