ere's now a 100% chance we'll be able to do that maybe in a year. I wouldn't bet on a year, but three years, five years, you don't think in five years there will be simulated realities that we could use to learn something or explore something. You know, I've told you that I have so many problems with water leaks that if I'm a simulation, I believe I was created by a plumbing company to figure out…

of the cartels. But the amount of money is just staggering. So the Treasury has this financial crimes enforcement network and they said that banks have flagged $312 billion in transactions from suspected Chinese money laundering networks. Wow. So the good news is that the Trump administration and probably Scott Bessent and maybe others are getting real serious about tracing the evil money. So that might have more to do with shutting down the cartels than anything else that happens. It might be a money tracking the money problem.

In Germany, there's a right-wing party that's gaining in popularity, the AfD party. And apparently in their biggest state there were four of their candidates that died suddenly and unexpectedly before a major state election. Four members of the same party, and only one of them was even over 70, died unexpectedly and suddenly. Does that feel like a coincidence to you? It might be. We're still waiting for information on that. But that didn't look, it makes me wonder if the story is real. Maybe the story is fake. I don't know.

Well, I almost didn't believe this was real because it wasn't much of a big story that Israel assassinated the prime minister of Yemen. That really happened, right? That they took out the leader of a country. And I feel like I didn't really see much news about it. I think it happened, right? It's kind of weirdly blacked out of the news. Anyway, so I might be wrong about some detail of that. Maybe it was just the Houthi leader and not the Yemen leader or something like that. There's something about that that doesn't make sense. But anyway and now the most important news of the day everything else was sort of a preparation for this. The most important news of the day is that my book Loserthink, the second edition, is now available on Amazon. It's only on Amazon and I'm still working on the audiobook which will be a different audio expert, not me. So it won't be my voice. So if you're waiting for my voice, don't wait. But you can get it in hardcover and softcover and Kindle and it's the same book as the first edition, but the first edition got cancelled when I got cancelled. So it's just putting it back in play. And that means that now there's second editions of Win Bigly. This is actually the first edition. I couldn't find my copy of the second edition. The one you want to buy if you're looking for Win Bigly is the one with the blue cover. So this is the first edition. And then Reframe Your Brain, if you haven't seen the reviews for this, it's unbelievable. I did not expect that this would be my best reviewed book of all time, but it is. And better reviewed than almost any book you'll ever see. So this one's changing the world, changing people's lives quite a bit actually. Then my very influential book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, also second edition, also available. And my God's Debris, which I combined two books plus a short story into one larger book called God's Debris: The Complete Works, now available at Amazon. So if you like fiction and a little bit of sci-fi and philosophy and religion, God's Debris is your book. That one's just for fun. If you want to change your c
