th them as opposed to just sending them money. So the US aid thing is winding down and some say that that was keeping people alive in other countries. And others say it was just a CIA cutout and anything that looked like charity was really just a trick to get control over the area. But Trump is saying, "No, how about now? You might be better off if we just trade with you." So let's do that instead. So that's a new way.

So I saw that Trump took a bunch of questions at that meeting yesterday, but I'm very impressed how tight his answers are to some kinds of questions. So I'm just going to read you a few of his answers. He was asked about Harvard and going after Harvard, the government going after them for being anti-Semitic and stuff. So here's what Trump said. He said, quote, "Harvard's been very bad, totally anti-Semitic, and yeah, they'll absolutely reach a deal," saying that they'll come up with some kind of deal with the government. Now isn't that a tight answer? Harvard's been very bad, totally anti-Semitic. Yeah, they'll absolutely reach a deal. Nothing else to say. I love how tight that is.

And then Peter Doocy asked about the fact that Cory Booker and Alex Padilla want the border police and ICE officers to have IDs so you can tell who they are and to not cover their faces. And so Trump says, quote, they wouldn't be saying that if they didn't hate our country and they obviously do. Now I don't believe that you can know what people are thinking and that you can know that they hate the country but the fact that that's his only answer to that and it's so tight. They wouldn't be saying that if they didn't hate our country and they obviously do. Next question.

It does seem that they act as if they hate the country because if you're trying to stop the people who are stopping the flood of immigrants coming across the border, it doesn't really look like you're on the same side as the country. It feels like you're against your own country. And why would you be against your own country? Well Trump suggests that they hate the country. Do you think that's true? Do you think that Cory Booker and Alex Padilla hate the country? Well you know if there were some way to find out for sure, I'd probably bet against it. But it's such a good response. Yeah, they wouldn't do it unless they hate the country. Obviously they do.

Peter Doocy asked Trump if he wanted to see James Comey and John Brennan behind bars. Now imagine all the ways that Trump could answer that wrong. Would you like to see Brennan and Comey behind bars? Brennan and Comey are people who tried to put Trump out of office if not behind bars. And what's he say? "I think they're very dishonest people. I think they're crooked as hell and maybe they have to pay a price for that." But he acted like he didn't know the details. So pretty tight. Good answer. Remember, you don't have to agree with his answer. I'm just impressed at how tight they are. No word salad there.

Trump has threatened 200% tariffs, according to the New York Post, on pharmaceuticals if they're being made in other countries. But he might wait a year and a half before imposing that to give them time to try to reshore it in the United States. But a 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals coming in. Now obviously the purpose of that is to encourage them to move to the US to manufacture that stuff. I don't know if they can do that in a year and a half. And I don't know how this will not raise prices. It doesn't seem likely to me that this will have no impact on prices. So you might see some of your pharmaceutical drugs go up in price.

Speaking of which, have I told you how expensive my testosterone blockers are? Oh my god. With health care. This is with health care. So this is not the full price. I paid $1,400 for a month's supply. $1,400. Now that's with healthcare. Apparently the real price might have been I think it was like $10,000 for just for something that you would need every month for years. How would somebody who didn't have a lot of money even afford that? I guess there are alternatives that don't cost that much but have side effects. So you would have to pick the one that had side effects and not good side effects either because you wouldn't be able to afford the good stuff.

Now I sort of blundered into it. I didn't know it was the good stuff until I got it, but wow, does it work well. I mean that's my experience. But can you imagine it? $1,400 a month for a person with a normal income and a normal job. Just like put that right on top of everything else. Unbelievable.

Anyway, according to NewsNation, Trump is considering some harsher sanctions on Russia or the Congress is or somebody else. But I asked Grok, what kind of sanctions are left? Like what are they even thinking about? And Grok, this is not the smart new Grok but the old Grok, said it would be maybe potentially secondary sanctions for any financial institute that's dealing with Russia or maybe a 500% tariff on any country buying Russian oil or natural gas or uranium. But how are we going to do that? We're just going to slap a 500% tariff on China and India? That's not going to happen. Holy cow.

I'm seeing somebody else's drug expense. Wow. So to me it doesn't look like... and then the other thing would be to seize Russia's $300 billion. I guess we have frozen Russian assets and then use them for arms purchases in Ukraine. Well I don't believe that any of these harsher sanctions are practical. I don't believe we're going to put a 500% tariff on everything that comes from China and India because they buy gas from Russia. Does that sound like something we could actually do and get away with? I don't think so. And penalizing the banks maybe, but wouldn't we have done that already if there were no problem with doing that? So I'm kind of thinking that maybe there aren't any harsher sanctions.

There's a story in Newsmax that Russia is turning Ukrainian teenagers into unwitting suicide bombers. So the way they do that would be they'd say, "I'll give you $1,000 if you go do some, let's say, vandalize a police station in Ukraine." So imagine you're a teenager in Ukraine and some Russian contact offers you $1,000 to go vandalize a Ukrainian police station. Well it would be pretty hard to turn down $1,000 if you're a teenager and all you had to do is do some graffiti or something on a police station and then they give you a backpack and say, "All right, here are your supplies for vandalizing." And then when you get to the police station, you realize that the backpack they gave you was explosives and they just detonated it. So they basically just turned these teenagers into suicide bombers, but they don't know they're suicide bombers. They think they're just doing some other thing for money.

And apparently some of them maybe they're just flipping and they don't mind, you know, they're not being killed themselves, but they're doing some work for Russia. I'll tell you these are the... it's hard to root for Ukraine if their own teenagers are attacking them at least in small numbers.

Well, the ex-CEO of X, that's funny, the ex-CEO of X who's let's call her the ex-CEO Linda Yaccarino. It's about X and Elon Musk said a little bit less something like thank you for all the contributions so I don't think they left on the best of terms, just a guess. And we don't know exactly what the problem was or why she left, but we do know that the timing was after Grok got accused of being anti-Semitic. So it could be, although we'd only be guessing, that she just didn't like that kind of heat and didn't think she needed it in her life. Maybe. It could be that she's got some other opportunity that she hasn't mentioned. Maybe. It could be it was just too hard to work with Elon Musk because as much as we love him, I don't know that I would want him to be my boss because he'd be pretty tough. So we don't know why, but she's on her way.

And the US Secret Service suspended six of the agents who were working at that Butler event where Trump got shot in the ear. So after the long investigation, they decided that there were six people who should have done something different than what they did. Six. That's kind of hard to believe, isn't it? That for one event there would be six individuals who all didn't do their job at the same time and it was enough that they would get at least for a while they got suspended from 10 to 42 days. I don't know about that. I think that was from CBS News. According to CNBC, Germany has agreed to import more liquefied natural gas from America. And now the US is officially Germany's largest supplier of LNG. So I assume that that had been Russia in the past. And so
