to be the teachers. But it does seem to me that as long as the students beyond a certain percentage of the class are troublemakers it wouldn't matter who your teacher is, there's no way you could overcome that. So now it could be that in the old days, let's say when I was a kid, capital punishment was still okay. I had a teacher who would beat you with a baseball bat if you got in line like an act…
← Previous segment →syrup which many people say is not healthy. The Hill is reporting on this. And they also apparently they're going to halt the use of sucralose. It's a preservative I guess. And they've already removed petroleum based synthetic dyes. How many of you knew you were eating oil? That petroleum based synthetic dyes were in your food. You're actually eating oil right? Or is it processed to the point where that's an unfair thing to say?
So I think what's going to happen is that RFK Jr. etc. is creating a situation where all the big companies are going to have to act and if everybody has to act then presumably there will be industries and products that pop up to be alternatives to whatever the ingredients are that seem to be unhealthy. If only one company wanted to switch to a healthier alternative it might not be enough to make an industry out of the alternative. But if everybody kind of needs to because it'd be too much pressure from the public and RFK Jr. then suddenly it's a big money situation to get healthier and people might produce that product for you. So I feel like everything's working going in the right direction on food. It's just going to take a while.
I saw a post by Siki Chen on X. Siki is in the tech world. He's well known in the tech world. He said I've lived in the United States for almost 42 years. I've been alive and never had people be openly racist to me until I heard from all the people either openly on X or privately in DMs hurling racist abuse at me for switching to the Republican party. And he says eye opening. Now that's shocking. That is shocking.
All right. So apparently the day before I saw this Daniel Greenfield wrote about this that the day before Charlie Kirk was assassinated there was a free speech ranking in a FIRE survey. FIRE being the name of the company or the name of the entity. FIRE survey of 68,000 college students, whole bunch of universities, and revealed that one in three students believe that using violence to stop a speaker they disagreed with on campus was acceptable. One in three people thought violence was acceptable to stop people from saying things you don't like. Violence. One in three.
Now here's my take. I don't believe that survey. Do you think that's true? That sounds a lot like something that college students say in an answer to a survey. It doesn't sound like something they do. So if you say to me do you think young people whose brains are not developed and they like causing trouble and maybe they like using a little hyperbole, I feel like it's something you say on a survey if you're young that isn't really something you believe or if you were in the situation you wouldn't do any violence. So I feel like it's alarming and I would certainly keep an eye on it. I wouldn't completely discount it. I could be wrong. It's happened. But I'm not entirely sure that's telling us what we think. Remember all data is fake.
I told you that the US is going to overhaul the citizenship test. Did you know that the citizenship was 100 questions but you only get 10 of them? So they randomly picked 10 of the questions. But you would have to study all 100 to make sure you can get most of them right. So it used to be that you only need to get six out of 10 right. But now you'll need 12 correct out of 20. And I looked at the questions and I'm happy to say I think I could pass it. But if you had 128 facts that you had to learn and you only had to get 12 out of 20 right how long would you have to study before you could nail that? You'd have to understand English otherwise you wouldn't be able to understand the test. And I guess it's a verbal test. It's not even written. Somebody just asks you 10 questions and then checks it off. But I don't know what was there really some reason that we had to add 28 questions. I don't know. But there's probably a good reason for it.
So according to Just the News, Ben Weingarten, already 2 million illegal residents have left the country. 400,000 directly deported and then 1.6 million self-deporting. You know when I heard this whole self-deporting thing, the commercials you see on TV with Kristi Noem and she's saying if you leave now there's a chance we would let you back in but if you don't leave and we have to get rid of you you'll never come back. So some number of people are self-deporting, way more than I thought. I thought everybody would just hang tight and try to ride it out, try to hide from the law until there's a new president or something. But if these numbers are right, and you know there's always a question about that. If really 1.6 million people left on their own on top of 400,000 deported, wouldn

't you call that a really good job? Because remember at least the 400,000 are not all but a lot of them are the worst. I don't know what percentage I don't think it's a very high percentage actually but if they got a lot of the bad people first I don't know that feels very successful. I would give a high mark for that number of people in six months. David Sacks as you know he's in the administrat…
