ding boots on the ground. Nobody's talking about Russia running out of military stuff, right? The only thing that I could think of that's a variable that could change that much that fast would be how many drones and robots we can deliver to the front line. And I've got a feeling there's a big batch of that coming. So we'll see. And then Russian fuel exports are dropping. And apparently 16 of Russ…
← Previous segment →go from the mirror that's on the ground to the tower in a bunch of different directions. If a bird flies through that invisible, I mean you can't see it. It's just invisible. Flies through it. It just fries immediately. So apparently 6,000 birds are fried annually through that one thing. And I'm thinking maybe they're going to move that to the front line of Ukraine and say, "Oh, no. It's just don't worry about it. It's just a power plant." No, no, it's just green power. And then all the Russian drones go as they fly through. No, that's not going to happen. But that apparently failed and they're just going to shut it down. So once again, Trump has a good week, they have a bad week.
And I guess Zero Hedge is reporting that the Trump administration is going to take a 10% or wants to, it's not a done deal, wants a 10% equity stake in Lithium Americas. I guess it's a lithium company. And there's some reason for that. You know, the government's doing something that would be worth it to them to give up some equity. I'm completely in favor of this. And those of you who say, "But Scott, that's what fascists do. The government and the big companies sort of work as one." To which I say, "No, no, they don't. No, they don't. They don't take 10% equity in companies. That's not what fascists do. I mean, if they do, it's certainly not the active ingredient of what a fascist is. It's just a good idea. So yeah, as a taxpayer, why should we give money away when we can get a little equity, don't you think?"
Wow, I nailed it. I was trying to shoot for 8 a.m. stop time, which would be 11 in the East Coast. Nailed it. No, I do that without looking at a clock. So I hope you're impressed. Nailed it. Say it's exactly eight.
All right. I'm going to say a few words privately to the wonderful, beloved members of Locals. And the rest of you, thanks for joining. We'll talk to you again tomorrow. Same time, same place. And locals, I'll be there privately in 30 seconds.
