welcome. All right. I love this too. President Trump says he's going to make some big announcement at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time today. Now, does anybody else have the same impression I do that he's turned the government into a really good reality show? And when he does this big announcement, you might not think it's a big announcement when it happens. Like it might not be a world-changing announceme…

So I would say that Bill Gates is probably a complicated situation because he's definitely got some plans for the world that I know you think you would rather have an option and not have him filling the air with vaccinations or whatever it is he's planning to do that would affect you somehow. So I get that you don't want to be controlled by Bill Gates. And even Nicole Shanahan posted that if President Trump is so concerned about getting into heaven, this is not the way. And she was referring to simply listening to Bill Gates talk at dinner. You won't get to heaven just hosting him at the party. So there are a lot of smart people who believe that Bill Gates is some form of the devil incarnate. I assume that that's overblown, but in what ways? I don't know. It just feels like something that couldn't possibly be as bad as people explain it. So my BS detector says there's probably some real things there that you don't like, but I'll bet you there's a bunch of things that we just suspect that aren't exactly what they look like. But certainly anything that he's doing that might end up like a mandate for you, you definitely have a right to not like that. If somebody is running around creating mandates and chemicals in the air or whatever else you don't want to be imposed upon you, I get it.
Who was it? I think Sam Altman was at the meeting and thanked Trump for being, I hope I have the right guy, I think it was Sam Altman, thanking Trump for being so pro-business. Like I was saying, he really is pro-business. I mean, he's doing a great pro-business kind of an administration so far.
Well, it looks like the White House is going to go ahead. Oh, maybe this will be the big announcement. I don't know. But we already know that they're going to change the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Now, I already told you that I wasn't crazy about that because you get more of whatever words you're focusing on. So I thought, hm, I wonder if this would get us more wars. But the more I think about it, the more I think Trump is right on this, because he's got a better instinct about this than most people. So here's me walking it back and saying, "I don't know if I'm wrong, but let me give you the opposite argument." The opposite argument is pretty strong. And t

he argument for it is that if you call yourself the Department of Defense, you can call anything that's happening in the world as somehow related to your own defense or an ally's defense. So I might have had it backwards, that when you call it defense, you can really easily make the argument that you should send some people over there to die. Well, sure, it's happening on the far side of the world…
