d country risks, etc., he would probably say low birth rate is a gigantic problem in every developed country apparently. And not having enough electricity for AI might be the other gigantic variable that it would be easy to overlook if you don't follow the news pretty closely. So yeah, have more babies and more electricity and you're going to be in good shape.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, Hunter Biden is being sued by one of his probably there were a lot of them law firms that worked for him and say he owes in excess of $50,000 in fees and interest. And I guess he has paid them a little bit in the past, but hasn't paid them everything. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think that Hunter Biden's art career was not 100 percent legit. Because I feel like he could have solved that problem by selling just one painting. Just one. So now I'm starting to suspect that that painting operation was not exactly what it looked like.

Anyway, let's talk about New York City's future mayor. This is Zohran Mamdani, who's an overt socialist. Republicans were trying to paint him as a communist but more socialist than communist I would say and I realized I had not evaluated him on persuasion. I talked about him and his policies and the fact he's a socialist and he wants things like rent control and government grocery stores and free transportation and stuff. Bunch of socialist things.

And everybody who knows anything about economics and history knows that too much socialism will destroy just about anything. So New York City, if he wins, and it looks like he might probably actually, New York City is sort of looking doomed because of his socialist policies.

But to be fair, since I have in the past reviewed Trump just as how persuasive he is, you know, that's how I got started doing this political stuff. And I've done the same with AOC. So I've said I don't like AOC's policies. I wouldn't want her to be my president, but definitely she has some persuasion skills. And so I decided to look at Zohran Mamdani just as a persuasion filter.

And I don't think there's any question about why he's doing well. If you look at him, if you forget policies, because voters don't even understand policies for the most part, and you just look at persuasion, he does have the whole package for a Democrat in a Democrat majority city. So he's got charisma like crazy. He's young and good-looking, which matters. He is perpetually optimistic. Which is not necessarily what the voters are feeling, but he's optimistic. So he's always smiling. He's always got this we can fix this problem thing. He's a person of color, so he's not a generic white guy because Democrats are not going to put up with that.

And when he talks about what he's about, he has this little phrase. See if this sounds familiar to you or what does it remind you of? It's not familiar, but it'll remind you of somebody else's work. He says he's trying to, and I quote, "make the city affordable." Make the city affordable. What's that sound like? Make America great again.

If you're worried that this socialist is going to be such a good politician that he can't be stopped, he does have the whole package. He's got the message. He's got policies that if you're a certain kind of person and a Democrat, you'd say, "Yeah, yeah, why not that?" So if I'm looking at him as only for persuasion, charisma, optimism, not a generic white guy, and he's got policies that fit easily under the category of make the city affordable, everybody understands that, and it touches them directly, and it's not about the rich. Why is he winning? Because the people he's running against are not even close. They're not even close to that. They don't have that package.

So the other lesson here is if you imagine that the Democrats are completely destroyed because Trump won everything and the Republicans have the Congress and all that. All it takes is one candidate who's got this entire package. And if you say to yourself, "But he can't go that far because his policies are bad crazy." Democrat voters don't know that. Obviously, Democrat voters cannot tell what policies will destroy the country. Obviously, otherwise they wouldn't have the policies that they have.

So could somebody like that win the presidency? Not necessarily him. Well, he I guess he was born in another country, so he wouldn't be eligible. But all it takes all it's going to take is one candidate who's got the full package and Democrats are going to be right back. So that's dangerous.

According to Lydia Moynihan in the New York Post, luxury real estate brokers in New York City are already getting people saying the rich people are already saying, maybe I don't want to live in New York City anymore. So just the fact that the socialists might come into office and raise their taxes and I don't know free the criminals it's going to make the real estate people pretty busy moving these people out of New York.

According to Salesforce CEO and founder Marc Benioff and CNBC is reporting this for Salesforce he says that AI is doing up to 50 percent of the work that would have been that had been done by people. Does that sound right to you? That Salesforce is already using AI for half you know it might be 30 percent to 50 percent but he's estimating might be up to half of all their work that's being done by AI but now the question you might ask is oh no how many people have they laid off because that's a pretty big company and the answer is that he believes that it just frees people AI is freeing people to do higher level work.

So he's not talking in terms of layoffs. He's talking in terms of sort of turbo boosting the power of every existing employee so that they can get all their regular work done with the help of AI and then they can that'll free them to do higher level stuff that's valuable. That is not the majority view and I don't know how many companies that would ever be true for. It will definitely be true for some. There's no doubt about it. Some companies will maybe add employees because the AI plus an employee is so valuable that you want to add humans to work with the AI because it's all so good. But there will be companies where they just need fewer people because of the AI. So it's going to be a little both.

And maybe Salesforce will have to change their staffing ideal
