ack candidates to get into college, which would require lowering the standards so that they could get in. And that would make sense if that data were true that black babies were twice as likely to survive, then I would say, yeah, you're going to need to get some black doctors in here. And you might even need to lower the standards a little bit. I mean, this is such a big data point that if you could lower the standards 5% but save twice as many babies. Yeah, of course. But it was fake data just like all data is fake. So just know that and I guess even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, she cited that study in an affirmative action case was never true and it became part of this Supreme Court opinion. Oh, Ketanji.

Putin is making some statements today. I think he's already made them. And he's concerned about Trump's Golden Dome missile protection system. He thinks that will destabilize the balance of power and he calls it destructive steps undermining the foundation for dialogue among armed states and that if that continues or things like that continue that Russia will have to respond in some vague way that we wouldn't like but at the same time Russia has offered to limit nukes and do some kind of a nuclear limit deal which might be similar to the deal that's already under the New START deal. So there's some complications to this but Putin is concerned about the dome and wants to deal at least deal on nukes. So maybe that's good. Maybe that's more good than bad.

Well, Trump has nominated now a replacement senior prosecutor. He got rid of the one who was not going to indict Letitia James. Letitia James is the one who lawfared Trump and Trump is putting in a new loyal lawyer person that he's worked with and will presumably go after Letitia James. I do think that the goods are there. There's probably enough to indict. And I'm sure that Trump at this point, given that he got lawfared so hard by Letitia James, I feel like he would be maybe not as happy as if she got put in jail, but he would be a little bit happy if at least she has to deal with the cost of the legal hassle because that's what she did to him.

And so let me say it again. I said before, I'm not really in favor of lawfare. You know, I don't like to see my side doing lawfare against the other side. The exception would be if you're using the lawfare against the exact person who tried to lawfare you, and that's what's happening. So in this case, I would remove all controls. I would say Trump, if you can destroy her career and her life and put her in jail, I believe that's the right answer. I believe that justice requires that. And so I'm 100% in favor of Trump. He can fire every lawyer he needs to fire before he gets a bite on her. But he needs to put the bite on her legally, but he has to exhaust every tool, every path to get at her. And if you don't do that, you're not really going to discourage that behavior in the future. I want to know that if you're an illegitimate lawfare proponent, that you can't just go in public and tell everybody you're doing it and then do it right in front of us. I mean, she actually told us she was going to do it before she did it. You can't do that. I don't want to live in that world. I want that person in jail. I mean, more than anybody else in the country, probably. Probably more than anyone else in the country, I want Letitia James in jail. I'm sure there's a murderer out there that I might want to jail more, but they're already in jail for the most part.

All right. You know, the big question about Trump is going to limit the H-1B visa workers and they got to pay $100,000, you know, just to get that visa. Those are the new changes. But apparently the Wall Street Journal says that a number of economists say that the H-1B visas the way it was was a benefit to America which would be a benefit to all workers indirectly. Now do you believe that? Do you believe that America and specifically American workers would be better off with the way it is with the H-1B visa people coming in fairly massively? Or do you think if you limit them, there will be enough Americans that can be trained to fill in and everything's better because we not only fill the jobs, but we'd fill them with Americans.

Well, I have a correction. I know you like it when I do that. So I said something yesterday that was seriously wrong. Like seriously wrong. I think most of you caught it. But maybe you didn't know why you caught it. Here's what I said yesterday. I forget the number of the population of India, but let's say there's a billion people there. I said, "If we have access to another billion people, I mean, that's so many people that if we could skim off the best of their billion people, that would be a tremendous amount of people that were just really really qualified. And how could that not be good for America?" And then somebody sent me an email and said, "You're forgetting the IQ difference." To which I said, "What?" And he pointed out and I had to check this myself but apparently it's true. If you look at all of India, the whole country, their average IQ is way less than the average in the United States. So if you are limiting your population to just the people who are, let's say, above an IQ of 120, I just picked that randomly. I think there would be like a few hundred thousand people that would even be possible, you know, that would be so smart that they'd be smarter than Americans. So it's actually it would be more like smaller than Rhode Island basically. So it would be more like trying to get your experts from a country as small as Rhode Island if you limit it just to the over 120 IQ which is rare in every country. Every country is rare over 120.

So the correction is this. It doesn't seem that just the raw number of Indians is a good argument. However, I will say that living and working in the Bay Area, I've seen a number of people born in India that came here that made such a difference in America. I mean, I don't need to name them. You know several of them are household names. I don't want to lose them. I don't want to lose them. And I don't think I'm not sure that they would be able to get here under the current system. But there are some Indian-American contributors in Silicon Valley and elsewhere that their contributions are enormous. Just enormous just so far so far out of the norm of what you and I are doing. So how do you not lose them? I don't know. So I guess I'm going to say I'm open-minded about whether this will work out. If we can fill those jobs with people who would be every bit as good as the people I know personally who are beyond good. I mean, they're just crazy talented. I don't know. We'll see. But we can reverse anything we have to reverse.

The US Treasury is cracking down on the Sinaloa cartel's people who are getting money from the Sinaloa cartel freezing assets and whatnot. Breitbart News is reporting about this. Ildefonso Ortiz. Now what I wondered is did we always know this? Has the Treasury Department always been able to find the people who are benefiting from or sending cartel money? Have we always been able to do this or is this some brand new capability we just came up with? Well, I'm in favor of it, but I don't understand why it's just coming up now.

Former Mexican president's sons are reportedly cartel mobbed up in the cartels. So the sons of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador are allegedly tied to a large-scale cartel thing. According to Breitbart News, also Ildefonso Ortiz, but also Brandon Darby, who knows more about the border than any other living person. Brandon Darby does. I'm trying to figure out there's at least one ex-Mexican president who follows me on X. Don't remember if it's Obrador or someone else.

President Maduro of Venezuela has offered to directly talk to Trump and have a direct face-to-face meeting. Now Trump considers Maduro the head of a cartel that just took over a country and doesn't consider him a real leader of a country. He's just a cartel boss who took over a country. But Maduro says, "No, no." Totally misunderstood. Not only are we not allowing drugs through Venezuela, he says, "But only 5% of the drugs produced in Colombia shipped through there, of which 70% of those drugs, 70% of the 5% are neutralized or destroyed by Venezuelan authorities." Does that sound even a little bit true? I don't know. I don't know. There's no way to know. But my guess is that he's closer to being head of a cartel than he is to somebody who's really stopping those cartels.

Well, update on Argentina. Milei, the superstar new president who's fixing everything. He says the market is in panic mode. Zero Hedge is reporting on this. So they've got some real currency meltdown problems going on over there. So I guess I'm gonna just double down on saying I never really believed all the hype about Milei. He might still pull this out, but it was the way people talked about him, the press, that never looked totally objective to me. It just looked to me like they were building him up because he was sort of a colorful, interesting character. I was always skeptical that he had the miracle that they said.

Meanwhile, at Texas A&M University, the president had to resign after there was some big conversation locally about radical gender ideology. So President Mark Welsh has resigned. Fallout after some big debate over that topic. And so people continue to lose jobs over being too woke.

A new study came out, it was a big one that says that depression is associated with low brain blood flow and function as opposed to a chemical imbalance. You've probably heard in the news already that the idea that depression is a chemical imbalance and therefore if they give you the right chemical to balance it, you should be fine has ne
