ss I was born in the time when we finally got everything right. There's almost no chance that the things you believe are true and right are true and right. There's almost no chance. It's never been true. We've never been right about anything important. But it would make you crazy to imagine that we were just wrong about everything. So you tell yourself this weird little story that well we were wro…
← Previous segment →adults. Still hard to do it if you're young because you know that's just what you're born with. But if you want to be in the top 10% of attractive adults, all you have to do is eat right and go to the gym. That's it. You know, maybe put a little attention in what you do with your haircut and maybe learn a little bit about how to dress, but oh my god, it's never been easier to be in the top 10%. So if you're not in the top 10%, maybe you put a little bit of work into it and you could get there.
Elon Musk, speaking of Elon, is bragging that X is now the number one news app in the USA. Do you remember all the smart dumb people, you know, the people with high IQs who told you that X had no chance of success and that it was a terrible move by Musk? He's only good at building cars and rockets. There's no reason to think he would be good at running a social media company. And then he fired 80% of his staff. And then all the smart dumb people said, "Well, told you. Look, you had to fire everybody." And then the advertisers started joining together to boycott it. And then you said, "Well, there you go. There's no way that's ever going to work." Well, it turns out that Elon Musk had one thing that other people didn't have. He is way smarter than you are. He's smarter than I am. And apparently he knew how to make it work and he has. It's now the number one news app in the USA.
Well, Kamala Harris has announced that she will not be running for California governor. Now, I would like to announce that I will also not be running to be governor of California. Now, my reason is that I wouldn't have a chance in hell of winning. I wonder what her reason would be. Could it be that she doesn't have a chance in hell of winning and it would end all of her prospects forever if she ran for that and lost, which she probably would, the smart people say? However, I would like to suggest there might be one other reason. I mean, maybe she's planning to run for president yet. Maybe she hasn't ruled it out. I don't know. But she may have some personal reasons for doing it. We don't know.
Well, Jerome Powell did and the Fed did not cut interest rates yesterday at their meeting where they told us their decisions. They did not cut interest rates. Now, of course, Trump is not too happy about that. He said that Jerome Powell is too late, too angry, too stupid, and too political. Total loser. Now, you know how I always compliment Trump for being able to read the room and being persuasive and especially one-on-one like with individuals. But it's hard for me to imagine that Jerome Powell could ever give Trump what he wants knowing that Jerome Powell's contract is up in May. If my contract were up in May and my political enemy had been absolutely savaging me for months, I wouldn't give them what they wanted even if it were really important to the country. I would be just so mad that I would just say, "Oh, I guess I won't be cutting your interest rates because people are humans." So I think that there's probably no chance that the government could browbeat Jerome Powell into doing that and he didn't. We'll talk about that some more.
Apparently in 2024, which would be if you're keeping track of your calendar, last year, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, Senator Warren, was on TV saying that Jerome Powell needs to cut interest rates. What does she say now that Trump is president? Now she says 2025, Trump needs to stop calling for Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. Yes, Elizabeth Warren is one of the designated liars. There's a handful of people, Democrats, who I always tell you if you see them go on TV that means that they've decided they have to go with a lie. And it's not just an ordinary lie. It's a big one. One that you could easily debunk with a few minutes of effort. But there are several people from Swalwell to Raskin to Elizabeth Warren who you could pretty much depend on will say whatever lie needs to be said at t

he time. So, Elizabeth Warren. Senator Josh Hawley has introduced legislation to ban members of Congress from owning or trading individual stocks. The problem is that they have inside information. So if they were to trade stocks, they would be tempted to cheat or we'd expect that they might cheat. So it's an ugly situation. And of course, people blame Nancy Pelosi for insider trading, which she d…
