Context —

al health information of 79 million people, Americans, will be handed over to ICE. And then ICE will use that to figure out how to track down immigrants who are in the US illegally. I guess part of it is to get the illegals off of Medicaid because they're not allowed to be on it, but also maybe to just locate them. I don't know how you do that with that data, but that's bad. Now, you might rememb…

And I would say that affects me personally because it's the first time I had a conversation with somebody who was a law-abiding, you know, God-loving, family-loving, good person whose life is kind of ruined at the moment. And I don't love it.

So more and more of you, I think, are going to have this experience that at some point the cutting is going to reach the bone and you're going to say, oh wait a minute, I didn't realize that was going to happen. So I don't know when that happens, but I'm here to tell you it already happened to me.

NewsNation had a former senior intelligence officer in the Defense Intelligence Agency who says that China allegedly is trying to genetically alter their people to make super soldiers. To which I say, you're a little too late, China, because our robots are going to enjoy killing your super soldiers. A super soldier is never going to be better than a robot if you know what I mean. So unless those super soldiers roll out this week, by next year they'll just be target practice for our robots.

was happening, the scientific papers that were submitted and approved, peer-reviewed, only half of them were even reproducible. So it's basically a coin flip if the science was right or made up. And now it looks like it might be getting worse because of all these low-quality papers. Anyway, that's all I got for you today. And looks like the weekend's here. We're ready for the weekend. All right.…
