t's exactly the right place for it. So I don't know if this is real but I think it is. I saw a picture of it, so it must be real because I saw a picture. But now that I'm getting ready to tell you, I'm losing my confidence that this wasn't AI. It could have been an AI picture, but the picture showed a perfectly orange shark allegedly swimming off of Costa Rica, and I guess they caught it. And it w…

thing like don't overdo it, which is just reasonably good advice. But the fact that the New York Times would have anything to say about exercise that's not you need more of it. How deep did they have to dig to find out something bad to say about exercise? Well, there was that one guy several years ago who tried to exercise and dropped dead on the treadmill. So you better consider that.

All right, here is some serious fun that's coming. It's a serious topic. So I don't mean to make light of the topic, but we're going to have a real interesting time ahead. So here's some foreshadowing. Just feel how big this is. All right. This also came out at the cabinet meeting. So Trump said to Bobby Kennedy during that meeting, he goes, "Bobby, autism, the autism is such a tremendous horror show. What's happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country? How are you doing on that?" Now, as you know, Bobby Kennedy was working on looking at all the science to figure out what is most likely the cause of a gigantic surge in autism among newborns. And Kennedy said that he'd have something by September. So Kennedy says, "We're doing very well. We will have announcements as promised in September." And then listen to this. We're finding interventions, certainly interventions now that are clearly almost certainly causing autism, and we're going to be able to address those in September. Wow. Wow.

Now, Bobby Kennedy is not one who falls into hyperbole, does he? The fact that he says we're going to give you an answer. It may not be the 100% answer, but he's going to tell us something that they've apparently determined with data, they're not guessing at this point, is causing autism. What do you think that's going to be? Do you think it'll be the medicines or do you think it will be the food or will it be both? I don't know. But I'll tell you, if they actually discover the cause of autism, doesn't somebody have a lawsuit coming, you know? Well, I guess if they didn't know it, maybe it's not so bad. I don't know. But if there's some food companies who are making food, for example, would they be liable if anybody wanted to sue them? I don't know how that works. If they didn't know, maybe they're not as liable. Or is ignorance unrelated to that? I don't know. We'll find out. But boy, September is going to be really interesting, however that goes.

wages for blue collar workers are now rising at the fastest rate in 60 years. Well, maybe. But here's my caution. If you're not willing to believe the data when it's not good data that your team has done something good, if you don't believe the bad data you shouldn't believe the good data is what I'm saying. So I don't know that we have good enough data that we can tell that there's been a 2% incr…
