hat would be hard to research, but then a human makes the decision. That's a lot of decisions. If you're trying to get rid of 100,000 federal regulations, how would you ever learn enough to know that you made the right choices? I don't know.

Anyway, so I'm optimistic and I don't think that the DOGE geniuses would be working on it if it didn't have promise, but we'll see. And there's a projection that the effort of getting rid of all this deregulation could yield 3.3 trillion annually in economic benefits. 3.3 trillion. That would go a long way to paying down the national debt, wouldn't it? It wouldn't be the full 3.3 trillion every year, but that would generate a lot of new taxes.

There's a report that on TikTok somebody named Kane Callaway that China now has a product called an AI headband that they're putting on Chinese students to make sure they're paying attention. So the headband will actually report if somebody is daydreaming or not paying attention. Now that's the scariest thing you've ever heard of. Can you even imagine having a job or being in some kind of class where your brain's current thinking is being reported? Your current thinking. And it's going to get worse because at the moment maybe the headband can only tell if your eyes are looking in a certain place. But what happens when it can tell what you're thinking, which is current technology. I told you about it yesterday. There's a current technology that can sort of read your internal dialogue.

So we're probably just a few iterations away from China having a headband for their students that will tell you if their mind is drifting off the topic. Oh my god, can you imagine what that would be like if you were one of those students? It's unimaginable.

Speaking of China, Beijing is going to host the first humanoid robot games according to Anadolu News. So apparently the robot games will have sports. So they'll have speed skating and racing and some other things that humans do because they're humanoid robots. But they'll also have them doing sprinting, soccer, and kickboxing. I would love to see humanoid robots do a battle to the death. I would kind of like that. That'd be fun to watch.

But they'll also be doing real world scenarios such as medication sorting and cleaning and industrial material handling. But what I really want to see is humanoid robots carrying a box from one shelf to another. You know, the one thing that they seem to be able to do. Yeah, I can get up if you knock me down and I can carry a box from one shelf to another. Look at me go.

All right, let's talk about Ukraine. I guess on Monday Putin's going to meet with Zelenskyy and Trump might be part of that but several European leaders have already invited themselves so it will be a big useless meeting with too many leaders. But that's coming. It does suggest that everybody's really serious about getting some kind of a peace deal in Ukraine. So I would say that President Trump's efforts so far are more positive than not, meaning everybody's focused on this thing and imagining what it would look like. And you have to get the minds lined up first before anything else is going to happen. And it looks like the minds are lined up. They're not lined up with how it will be ultimately resolved.

But here are some hints. I would say these are not confirmed. But these are reportedly what Trump would consider workable. Now, these are solutions that Ukraine definitely doesn't want. So let's be clear. It might be good for the United States if Ukraine settles, it might be good for Europe if Ukraine settles, but it's not going to be good for Ukraine. At least not in the sense that they're going to keep all the land they would like to keep. Doesn't look like that's going to happen.

But reportedly Trump is supportive of Russia taking over the other half of the Donbass that they have not already conquered. So the deal would look like Russia could keep everything that they've already conquered and Donbass is half conquered. But Ukraine would give them the half they haven't yet conquered.

Now, it's hard for me to imagine that Ukraine would go from a position of you cannot have one inch of our territory from before this certain year. Yeah. They would walk Crimea back and all of Donbass back and all of the other regions that are conquered. How do you go from that to you know what, not only will we let you keep everything we've already conquered but we want you to just give us the other half of the Donbass? Is that really going to be agreed on by Zelenskyy? I mean really, is there any possible way he's going to agree to that?

Even if the other part of it is that Trump is going to float security guarantees for Ukraine, we don't know what that looks like yet. So we'd be speculating on the details, but the idea would be that we would commit to Russia that Ukraine would not be part of NATO, but instead all the NATO countries would defend it if it were attacked. But not NATO. No, no, no. So you're saying that if Russia attacked, the NATO countries would come to Ukraine's defense? Yes. But Ukraine won't be in NATO. Oh, no. That's crazy talk. No, they're not going to be in NATO. They're just going to get all the benefits of being protected by NATO.

So I would suggest that the name for this new treaty would be the not NATO. Not NATO. All one word, not NATO. Then we'll just act like NATO except that Ukraine won't have to give any money to NATO. So that's suboptimal.

Wall Street Journal says it sees two ways that the Ukraine war will end. One is that Ukraine will be smaller and they'll give away all that conquered and semi-conquered territory. So they'll be a shrunken but surviving nation state. Alternately they could lose everything, their sovereignty and all the land. Do you think that is the only way it could go? Yeah, I don't know.

I do think that Trump is going to have some threats that are going to look really good. So one of the threats could be, like I said, an all-robot war, which Russia might not be able to win. They could almost certainly win an all-human war if they wanted to keep grinding on. So that would be one threat.

The other threat is these third-party sanctions where they sanctioned India and China I guess for buying energy from Russia. I don't know if you could really pull that off. I just don't know that we could go that hard at China or India and if we didn't, well then nothing would change. So I don't know what kind of threats Trump has, but he usually does this well. I don't have to prove I could do these things. I just have to make you think I might be able to do these things. So he's got a few of those levers. The I might be able to do it.

Well, CNN's body language expert Chris Ulrich said that Trump dominated Putin during the summit. Th
