nly thing they were required to do is check the documents from the actual applicant that says they are or are not a citizen. And there were plenty of people who had fake ID and fake documents. So if all they did was look at the fake documents and not being document experts said all right well that's all we've been asked to check and you've got those documents, probably it's going to be kind of a gray area whether they were even knowingly breaking any law at all. So they might not be in much trouble, the employer, if they followed all the rules as they used to exist.

Well Van Jones on CNN says that tens of thousands of Africans have already died because of Trump administration cutting the funding for some program called PEPFAR that allegedly had saved millions of victims of HIV in Africa.

And I said to myself number one do you think that's true? Would that be the way you would say it? Because why is it that the United States has some kind of unique responsibility to Africa? Now I get how terrible the AIDS epidemic in Africa is but what is China and Russia doing? What are all the other countries doing? Why is it the United States problem to solve a problem in Africa? What makes that our problem or national interest?

Now as a human you could certainly empathize and you could want it to be solved but it's kind of weird that we just sort of assume that if we have the ability to save some life anywhere in the world and we don't do it that that means that we kill them. It doesn't really mean that we killed them because we can't really save all the other lives in all the other world without destroying ourselves which would also have a ripple effect and be bad for the rest of the world in our case.

So it's a tough one. You know this is why you don't want to be president because you make decisions where people could credibly argue you just killed tens of thousands of people. Well you just killed tens of thousands of people. And then you have to argue well you can't say I killed somebody by not helping them because the entire world is full of people we didn't help all over the place. And even the country is full of people we didn't help and they died.

So I would reject the idea that it is our responsibility if we could do it and it didn't have some kind of a cost that was bigger than the benefit then I'd feel differently. But then I went to Grok and asked if it was true that cutting that funding meant that tens of thousands of people were dying in Africa. And unless I read it wrong it looked like Grok said that there was no funding cut that it was considered and then cancelled. I don't know if that's a hallucination but so it's not clear that that was even cancelled. So you could give me a fact check on that.

Have any of you seen the online conspiracy theory? I'll let you decide what to call it but it was the idea that the polio vaccination didn't actually end polio but instead it was improvements in hygiene. Have you heard that one? By the way I don't subscribe to that but it's actually somewhat prominent. I've seen it quite a bit on social media. So that's out there.

But we'll see what happens when the various changes happen with RFK Jr. and all the work he's doing and maybe changing of mandates more than anything else. That's probably the main thing that's going to happen. Mandates will change.

Well according to the Daily Mail there's a new poll, the Daily Mail JL Partners poll. It says that Trump is at his highest approval rating of his presidency. Now they've got him at 55% approval. That would be higher than any other poll that I've seen. So take it with your usual polling grain of salt.

But at the same time Newsmax is reporting that the Zogby poll has him at a solid 46%. Now 46% given our divided country is actually pretty go
