rent that there might be somebody for whom it was a real lifesaver. But I can guarantee you, the only part I have some expertise in because I'm a trained hypnotist as all of you know, I can guarantee you that you can convince people that they're the wrong sex if they're young enough. Guarantee it. So that would suggest that Trump's idea of removing it so that it doesn't accidentally influence peop…

wn by 50%. And everybody would still make a profit. So I love how much potential there is but I think it needs more invention than it does government anything.

Yeah. I always felt like some like Apple or Tesla or something would finally say all right all right let us build you some houses or tell you how or make it easy or figure out how to make it awesome. I've also thought that depending on where you put it you might want glass walls but you'd want automated curtains so you'd still have privacy. So if they could make glass less expensive so you could use it for a wall like really thick glass and it had to be really insulated and all that. Anyway I can talk about that all day. Too boring. Sorry.

There is a whole bunch of Epstein news. I don't know why suddenly there's so much Epstein news. Let's see if I can summarize it. But the biggest news about all the Epstein news is there's no Epstein news. The one thing you can be certain of if there's Epstein news there's no Epstein news and that the news about Epstein will always be more about how you don't know what Epstein was up to.

So let's see. We had the Epstein victims who talked to Congress but you and I couldn't listen to it. And we're never going to hear any names for example of any famous people who might have been involved. But Representative Luna came out and said that after listening to the survivors she says that it's clear this thing could be a lot bigger. Okay that's not really new because you always knew that it could have been a lot bigger than whatever you knew and that rich and powerful people need to go to prison. Okay that's exactly what you're already thinking. And she said it's possible Epstein was an intelligence asset for an adversarial country or not necessarily adversarial but a foreign country to which I say yeah everybody thought that might have been a thing. And let's see Nancy Mace who had been a victim of sexual abuse herself she's open about talking about that seemed visibly upset when she left. So whatever they heard was pretty bad and it triggered her because she had some presumably PTSD like from her own experience.

We got allegedly the missing one minute from the Epstein video outside of the cell block. So you know how allegedly there was a missing minute but it was because the system changes over or something at a certain time. So it was explained away as ordinary that all the videos miss a minute. But people insisted and I guess what they did was they must have displaced the minute that follows onto the naturally occurring piece of video and which makes everybody think I'm not so sure that I don't know if I should believe what this video says. So again it didn't show anything. So since we don't really believe we saw the missing minute it doesn't really add anything to the story. So all the stories add nothing.

There are a whole bunch of Epstein files released but they're redacted so much that you can't tell. For example we know that there were lots of flights that Epstein was on to his island but we don't know who else was on. We know that there were five to seven passengers on a lot of them. And but basically nothing new because there was too many redactions. And then Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna getting together to press the Congress to vote for releasing all the Epstein files. Now I thought that there was already agreement to release them. Is what's new about this that they would not have any redactions? Because I can't believe that they would be in favor of no redactions. So I don't know what it is that would be different if Congress said release all the files because I thought Trump's in charge and he already s

aid release all the files. So I'll need to figure out what that would add to the process if Congress got involved. So I guess you have to get a bunch of signatures to force a House vote. And Massie is about halfway there. Well Washington Mayor Bowser she issued an executive order telling her law enforcement people to work with the feds indefinitely. So once again there's more support if you will…
