llious and power-hungry than you think. I would have known that. And the reason is that you're starting with a group of people who are willing to buck one of society's strongest cultural norms, which is eating meat. It is hard to be a vegetarian. I'm a pescatarian at the moment, but when I was a vegetarian, it meant that if you got invited to somebody's house, you had to tell them you can't eat w…

But I do think that the idea of just walking into your vehicle with a suitcase and saying, all right, vehicle, I'd like to go visit the Grand Canyon, so make sure you stop for meals and book me some hotels. And the AI just does all that for you. That would be amazing. So that could be your future any day now.
All right. Meanwhile, the US economy has added 139,000 jobs in May, beating expectations according to Steve Moore. And that sounds good. I guess I don't have any comment about that except it looks like good news. But do any of you have the reflex that I've developed, which is it doesn't matter how good the economic news is, it only matters how big our deficit is. So when I hear jobs are good, blah blah blah, jobs are good, all I really hear is you're driving toward the abyss. You do not have a solution for debt. It doesn't matter how many jobs there are, they'll all be out of work soon. So yeah, I'm not really moved by good economic news, but I suppose it's better than bad. Barely. It's barely better than bad.
So Adam Schiff decided to weigh in on this Elon Musk Trump issue and especially about the big beautiful bill, the spending bill that's not a spending bill according to Steve Miller. And Adam Schiff said on X, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Elon Musk is right. The big beautiful bill is filled with all sorts of hidden and dangerous far-right pork. Is the big beautiful bill full of far-right pork or is it just far-right things that the far right likes like protecting the border and building up the defense industry? I don't know.
So he's the biggest liar in the world. So he can just put it out there and his Democrat followers will say, huh, that thing must be full of hidden and dangerous far-right pork. But we don't have any examples. And Elon Musk saw that post from Adam Schiff and he responded to it saying, a few things could convince me to reconsider my position more than Adam Schiff agreeing with me. And yeah. That was my first impression too. It's like you don't want him on your side.
So Elon Musk unfollowed Cat Turd. Well, it's about time. I unfollowed Cat Turd a long time ago. Blocked him.
All right. So here's a news item that you didn't need to do any research on. It looks like AI came up with it. So the Financial Times is reporting that allies of Trump and Musk are urging them to repair their relationship, seeking to limit the political and commercial damage. Now what else are they going to do? Their allies? It's literally their friends. Do they have any allies who are recommending the opposite? That maybe they fight a little harder. What kind of a headline is that?
So that was on X and I'm thinking was there any ally of either Musk or Trump who pulled them aside and said something like you know I think this situation really calls for more accusations. I think things are going well but you should really ramp up the accusations, you know, the personal ones, the professional ones, the ones that could get somebody in jail. I don't think so. I've got a feeling that the allies are all, yeah, maybe you should take a day off and cool it a little bit on this.
Trump is playing it correctly, I think. And so yesterday Trump wished Elon well and he noted that he's been so busy dealing with Russia, Iran and China that he hadn't had any time to think about their spat. Now I don't know how true that is, but it's a perfect president answer. Oh, I'm working on all these important things. Can't possibly get involved in that.
Meanwhile, do you remember the Maryland dad, so-called Maryland dad who was accused of being an MS-13 guy, and he got deported wrongly? Wrongly meaning that the court order did not support him being deported. Now do you remember what I've been saying since very near the beginning of that saga about the Kilmar Abrego Garcia guy? I kept telling you that what's funny about it is that it started out being he's a Maryland dad. Oh sure he's not here legally, but you know that's millions of people are not here legally. That's not the biggest problem. I mean if he's built a life and a lot of people would be in favor of someday giving him citizenship, you know, not Republicans of course, but it started out with well he's a little bit bad. And he may well be MS-13. And then you say to yourself yeah but any specific crimes? You know I don't know if anything's specific. And then you find out well he may have beat his wife with his fists twice but then she said something to mitigate that a little bit. And then you say to yourself well I wonder if it's going to get any worse. And then we find out that he was pulled over for human trafficking, meaning that he was transporting a car full of people, probably from the border, presumably illegals, and presumably getting paid for it.
So now you've got illegal trafficking, you've got beating your wife, you've got maybe you're a member of MS-13, and now he's been for reasons I don't quite understand brought back to the United States, which is what all of his supporters wanted. But he's being brought back because there are horrible charges that he was part of a larger operating ring where he may have transported who knows how many people. So it wasn't just that one carload of people. It looks like he was pretty active in the human trafficking. But now there are additional accusations that are not charges yet. They're just claims. So a co-conspirator has allegedly accused him of involvement in the murder of a rival gang member's mother.
Now there's nothing funny about murdering a rival gang member's mother, but it is worse. It does show that trend of every time we hear from them, things are worse. So that's pretty bad. But no charges have been filed on

those claims, which makes them I would say less credible. But the fact that the claim even exists, if the police picked you up, what are the odds that one of your co-conspirators would say that you were involved in the murder of a rival gang member's mother? And the answer is low. Low. Probably nobody would mention that at all. But apparently this gentleman, this Maryland dad, has a co-conspirator…
