hat? Like, who even asks? It wouldn't even occur to me that we would have a conversation with the Taliban about that or that there's any chance at all that it might work out. But Trump goes strong. He has an argument for why it'd be good for us. I understand the argument. I definitely would like us to have a little back room if it's going to make it easier for the military to do what they're going to do anyway. So it's worth asking. The worst that could happen. Well, maybe it's not the worst, but you know, one of the things that happen is they say no. Maybe we put enough pressure on them that they say, "Oh, damn it. We got to say yes now maybe."

So whether it works out or it doesn't work out, that is a strong play to go to them and say, "Why don't you just give us the base and if you don't, we're really going to make your life miserable." That is strong. Might be wrong, might not work, but you're going to remember how strong it was. So it's right even if it's wrong.

I wonder if there's any science that didn't need to be done because people could have just asked me and saved a lot of time. Well, according to ScienceAlert, Carly Cassell is writing that they've discovered in a large study that doing headers in soccer damages the brain even without concussions. Let's see. I wonder if I would have known the answer to this question. Scott, if a surprisingly heavy and hard object called a soccer ball hits you in the head, is it likely to cause brain damage? Well, how many times? 700. Wait, what? Yeah, it's a heavy hard object. It's going to hit people's heads pretty hard in the context of a game. Will that cause brain problems? Well, maybe not once, but 700 times. It's heavy in the sense that when it's traveling, whoever is saying heavy, like you're challenging whether a soccer ball is heavy. Apparently you've never been hit in the head with a fast-moving soccer ball. Do you know how heavy that feels if you get hit at a high speed?

Soccer used to be one of my favorite games. And do you know how I would handle headers? I had a way of handling headers. I would miss the ball. Oops. Yeah. That my entire life I said to myself, I love this game soccer and I don't even mind if like I hurt my leg. You know, it'll get better, but I'm not going to injure my head. I'm not going to injure my head for a game. So for all of my soccer playing years, when I jumped up for a header, I just didn't get it. I guess I'm not that good at headers because the other team got it and sometimes my team got it. But man, I was in the
