very successful in his life. He doesn't need the work. But he's putting in serious serious work into making our country better. So keep an eye on Bill Pulte. He has the entire talent stack to take it as far as he wants. I don't know how far he wants, but he could go as far as he wants.

Let's see. Today is the day that there's a national protest against Trump, right? That is the day, July 17th. They should be doing some national multi-city protest generic. Now this would be a paid professionally organized protest. It's not organic and so we really shouldn't care about it at all except have fun mocking it. But I asked on X yesterday, what would be a name for these protests that are not organic? You know they're just Democrat funded trouble. I started with the idea of pro-pesters. Instead of protesters with a letter T, it would be pester with a P as in puppy. So pro-pesters. But a number of people had a bunch of other suggestions, so you might want to look at those. They're on my X feed.

Well the Department of Justice fired James Comey's daughter. She was an attorney who worked for the Southern District of New York I believe and she handled the Epstein case and the Ghislaine Maxwell case and the Diddy case. There's no word as to why she was fired, but one assumes it's just some kind of a revengey thing on top of she would be maybe anti-MAGA and maybe if you were in her crosshairs you would not get a fair trial. I don't know what the reasons were, but it's not a big surprise, right? It's not the biggest surprise in the world that she got fired. And I don't think we need any reasons. Do you care? Obviously there's a political element to that.

Well the estimates for how much the Trump tariffs might bring in — and remember they're not entirely paid by the foreign countries. They might pay for some of it but it's paid by the companies in the US who are importing. But the estimate is that it will bring in 300 billion in tariff revenue to the government by the end of the year. Now what if it turns out that it can make I don't know half a trillion dollars a year just on nothing but tariffs. Suddenly you're starting to look like you're balancing the budget. I think there's still a trillion and a half left that they would still need to cover but you're juicing the economy. You're making some cuts to the budget. We'll talk about that in a minute. And you're adding tariff revenue. So Trump is thinking he might be able to get the budget balanced within his term. Do you believe that? You know I think there were lots of things we didn't believe about tariffs that are turning out to be Trump was right. So I'd hate to say you can't do it but it's quite a stretch to get the budget balanced. Maybe there's nobody else who I think could come close.

So maybe the former chief of staff to first lady Jill Biden was interviewed by the congressional people who were looking into the autopen stuff and he took the fifth. He refused to answer
