ich funds Russia and their war etc. and Trump very much doesn't want them to be buying that oil from Russia. So hold that in your head and we're going to move to the next story.

A drone attack by Ukraine that was 500 miles past the front lines of battle into Russia. They sent a drone attack 500 miles into Russia that blew up a Russian oil refinery. So I'm starting to wonder, I wonder if all those improved weapons that Trump says he's going to sell to Ukraine, do you think that will include weapons that could if they wanted to blow up a bunch of Russian oil assets such that India just wouldn't be able to buy enough oil from Russia because Russia wouldn't be able to produce it? Is that coming? Because it feels like that would probably cross some line. But I also thought that when their pipeline got blown up. If it's possible to blow up their pipeline, what else can you blow up and get away with it?

So maybe India has some surprises coming and Russia too. We'll see.

Tesla got slapped with, according to Just the News, $243 million in damages. The lawsuit because I guess early on their car hit a couple and killed them. It was in self-driving mode but it was in supervised self-driving mode and the driver already admitted he was using his phone and wasn't paying attention. So that's before anybody was supposed to not pay attention and they still lost. So the guy driving the car had already admitted he was 100% liable because he knew the car was supposed to be supervised and the technology was new, but he didn't do it and then two people died and still Tesla loses and is liable for 243 million. Amazing.

Did you know that the price of beef, I don't eat beef so I didn't know this, is way up? Did you all know that? That the price of beef is way up. I guess there are fewer cows or at least beef cows and it's not going to correct itself for at least a year or so depending on weather and cows and stuff like that.

All right. Well enjoy your beef if you can afford it.

And Russia has a plan to start a human trial for an mRNA-based cancer vaccine that would be not really a vaccine. It would be to treat people for their specific kind of cancer. So they would modify each vaccine for each person. And they're looking for volunteers and they're going to run this thing in 2025. So you know what I say? Hurry up. Hurry up. Maybe it works. You never know.

I believe that the US was looking at the exact same thing. An mRNA platform vaccine that wasn't really a vaccine, just was modified to treat a specific person.

Well the New Jersey Institute of Technology used AI to find five new powerful battery materials that could replace lithium. Now I don't know if this is real because we're at that period in history where people know they can get attention by saying AI made the difference. Oh we need the AI. We never could have done this without the AI. But allegedly they use the AI to look through a gazillion alternatives for materials and it came up with some that are very promising. So we may be close to the point where you just don't need the rare earth minerals so much. AI will just figure out how to do it without them. Maybe. You never know.

All right, that's all I had to talk about today, ladies and gentlemen. I'll remind you that if you're a subscriber to Owen Gregorian on X that he's got a Sp
