enario for a Democrat. But if we go out there and say we are Vermont, I don't know which states are in play, but go out there and say we're Vermont and we're going to join California in gerrymandering. Well all that's going to do is guarantee that every Republican state does it. I think every Republican state or most of them are going to do it just in case and just because they can. But if you're…
← Previous segment →at I know that any of this is true but there is some indication that having low cholesterol makes you higher chance of getting diabetes. So we've got 92 million people on statins and many of them don't even have any heart disease. They're just told their cholesterol is too high. And because of that they may or may not be giving themselves a higher chance of getting a blood sugar disease.
Now again, I'm not your doctor so you should not take any medical advice from me. Everybody understand that? I'm telling you what the world is talking about about statins. I'm not telling you what I think makes sense for you to do. And if you think you're hearing that, you're not hearing that. I'm just talking about it. You're going to have to figure it out yourself on the medical stuff.
Maxine Waters is pushing the idea that Trump needs to be taken out with the 25th Amendment because he's so obviously crazy. Now first thing I would say about Maxine Waters is you may know she was replaced a while ago by a wax figurine of Maxine Waters and unfortunately they left it out in the sun a little bit too long. So what looks like Maxine Waters is actually a wax statue that's partially melted, and that would explain her look. But she says there's something wrong with this president.
So have you noticed the pattern, the trend that whatever it is that the Democrats are complaining about is not real? Just not real. And I don't know, maybe that's a little bit the same on the other side. Maybe Republicans worry too much about things that aren't real as well. But man, the Democrats with their imaginary issues. So he's the imaginary dictator who had an imaginary insurrection on January 6. And there was an imaginary thing where he said something about neo-Nazis that we know to be a hoax. It's all imaginary just and that he's doing it just for his own enrichment and all of it. And women and men can never mind.
You may remember the other day I was saying I don't understand what the Fed does, the Federal Reserve, and that if their main thing is setting the interest rates, how many people do they need to do that? It feels to me they probably just have some model or they sit around a meeting and say, "What do you think?" But why does it take like thousands of employees? Now they do a few other things but I saw a video by Chamath from the All-In pod. He's like Madonna or any of the one-name-only kind of people like Naval. He's a one-name guy because his last name's hard to pronounce. So Chamath was saying what does the Fed actually do in 2025? And because he's a lot smarter than I am, I felt really good because when you go in public, when you do what I do, you know, you say a lot of opinions in public, it's a little bit risky to say I can't figure out what the Federal Reserve does. What do they even do? Because it makes you look like a dope, right?
So when someone who's certifiably a lot smarter than almost everybody like Chamath says, "What does the Fed actually do?" I feel, oh, m

aybe I was sort of on the right track there a little bit. But there the lender of last resort. I think Chamath said they'd rather see the Treasury do that. They set monetary policy. They regulate banks. That probably takes a lot of people. And they're a clearing house for payments, but it feels like that needs to be updated. So yeah, it doesn't seem as Chamath pointed out the Federal Reserve like…
