redom eventually. But I think it'll have a really predictable arc where a whole bunch of people try it and we get all worried about it and people are literally marrying them and putting them in the robot and it'll be a big story and it will affect a lot of people for a long time. But I think it's self-correcting. I believe that you can only get oxytocin from humans or maybe cats, but like an actua…

That he knows that it's making people who don't have a sense of humor react to it negatively and that makes the rest of us really amused. So he knows how most people who support him are going to react to it and they're just going to laugh. And it's funny because the president isn't supposed to say that sort of thing about anybody. And then I imagine, and I don't know if you do this, but I imagine poor Jonathan Carl who's just waking up in the morning. Imagine just waking up in the morning. You're like, oh I wonder if anything's happening today. Yeah, we'll check X. It's about my haircut. And now every time Jonathan Carl goes out in public today and maybe for the rest of his life, everybody's going to look at his haircut and say, what happened to your haircut? So not only has Trump made us laugh about Jonathan Carl's haircut, but he's cursed and doomed Jonathan Carl to the end of his days. Everybody's going to look at his haircut and go, well he had a point there. All right, that's funny.
But he did threaten to lawfare Chris Christie, which is not cool and is definitely authoritarian. Are you comfortable, most of you are Trump supporters, are you comfortable with Trump threatening to reopen the Bridgegate thing that Christie had, that drama, to reopen it to punish Chris Christie for saying bad things about Trump on television? Are you comfortable with that? I'm not comfortable with that. Let me say that as clearly as possible. No, that is authoritarian. So I don't think he's serious about it. I don't even think he's a little bit serious. But I don't really want my president to threaten to do something authoritarian and absolutely out of bounds at this point because it's not like it would be one thing if some whistleblower presented something that we hadn't heard before, but literally to reopen a closed case, no. That's out of balance. So this is where the people who support Trump have an important role. You need to say if you think that's too far because he follows social media and he does adjust fairly quickly when things aren't working for his base. So let me say it as clearly as possible. That's too far. No, I don't support that.
In other news, Israel has bombed Yemen's presidential palace and now it's a presidential pile of debris. Apparently they hit Yemen a bunch of times. The Houthis in Yemen continue to send missil

es toward Israel and now one of them at least includes a cluster bomb. So missile with a cluster bomb and Israel just isn't going to put up with it. So note to Yemen, have you checked the news, Yemen? I'd like to make a little message to the Yemenis, mostly the Houthis. Have you noticed anything that's happened in the past year or so? It has to do with a pattern. You might start to notice that wha…
