ething on a spreadsheet or on a word processor, just give me a user interface that essentially mocks Microsoft and just act like you're Microsoft and I'll just use you AI. I feel like that it's within the realm of maybe. So there's some possibility that the entire Microsoft corporation could turn into one super prompt. Hey, give me a suite of products exactly like Microsoft maybe. I don't know. B…

the one who identifies that the president's time has reached an end and he can't handle his job? Probably nothing more important than that, right? Except filling in if he were to pass away.

So I get why there was tremendous pressure on her to just ride it out. Yeah, we all understand. There's no mystery there. But if your only job is to be able to overcome exactly that problem, hey, people might not like it if you remove the president whose brain is dead. Well, you kind of got to do it anyway. Isn't that the job? The job is to do it anyway. The job is not to do it if it's easy. The job of vice president is not to act if it's convenient. There's nothing like that in the job description.

By its nature, the reason we go through so much trouble to pick the right vice presidential candidate is that we look at them and we say, "That person could remove a president if they had to." Well, she wasn't that person. Apparently she couldn't do it. So I don't know. It's hard to call an end to anybody's political career, but I'm going to agree with Stephen A. Smith. I don't see how she could hold a major office ever again. But I also think she may have decided that she was done with politics. I feel like she was already done.

Well, are you up to date with the latest drama involving Tom Homan? You know, head of ICE. Is that his official job? Head of ICE. But he apparently during the Biden administration when Tom Homan was not in the government but he was doing consulting, private consulting for companies in the border security business I guess, and he was the subject of an FBI sting operation in which they gave him $50,000 pretending to be some kind of vendors for things that he would be in his domain. And he took the $50,000 reportedly. I don't know that any of this is really confirmed, but reportedly he took the $50,000 and agreed to help the contractors win contracts in the second Trump administration if Trump won.

Now remember, this is before Trump won. So there's no President Trump at the moment and there's no border czar. But we're just learning about this from an MSNBC investigation, but we're also told that the Biden administration didn't find any crimes and they just shut it down. The Biden administration didn't find any crimes even though they tried to set him up. They tried to create a crime where there wasn't one by pretending to bribe him. But it turns out that if you're a consultant and you offer to

help somebody do something that is normal legal business and you're a consultant who advises on that exact normal legal business, well, maybe taking money to do the thing you say is exactly what you're doing, maybe it's not illegal. Now, so that would mean that he wasn't using his influence to give somebody a job who was incapable. So I don't know exactly the details, but here's my question. If i…
