n because their parents did not support them when they were between five and 11? I don't believe that. Here's what I believe. When I was between the ages of five and 11, I wanted to be rich and famous and somehow impactful in the world. But my father's advice was to work for the post office. True story. He worked for the post office and he couldn't stop raving about how good the benefits were. Get a lot of vacation days. You get a good pension which he got. He had a very good pension and it's hard to get fired. So while I was born planning to be, you know, something important someday, CEO or something, my father was guiding me toward the postal arts. Did it make any difference? No. No. Because I was always ambitious. I was just born that way. It didn't come from anywhere. I was just born ambitious. I believe that these 5 to 11 year olds are mostly just born ambitious. Yes, it's true that the boys might get more encouragement, but I don't think that matters because I think that anybody who is so weak that their childhood experience told them that they could or could not be president, they're not really presidential material. You want somebody who is, you know, sits up in the crib and goes, you know, I've only been here a day, but I think I could run this place. Like me, like Trump. Those are the ones that become president, the ones who are sure that you can't talk them out of it. So, I don't believe that study, but although I will acknowledge that there's something to it. You know, more encouragement would be better than less. But how much did JD Vance get encouragement to be the vice president? Probably the president later. How much encouragement did he get at home? Do you think that was the difference? His addicted mom was saying, "Yeah, sure. You could probably go from poverty to the president. Yeah, go do it." Probably not. Probably not.

Trump is giving Hamas a yesterday he said 3 to 4 days ultimatum to accept the Gaza peace plan. To which I give you this bit of advice. A deadline of 3 to 4 days is a deadline of four days. There's no such thing as a deadline of three or four days. That's four days. Four days deadline. Forget about the three. It's funny. I think it's funny when Trump talks like that because it makes you not be able to turn away from what he said. If all he said is, you know, deadline in four days, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting or stick in my mind as when he says three or four. So, what's he gonna do on day three? He's gonna yank it. I said three or four. Oh, no. No. You thought you had another day. Look at what I said. I said three or four days. This is the third day. So, deal's done. And Hamas says, "But you said three or four." I know. And this is three or four. Anyway, there's no I think there's no chance in the world that the deal will be accepted. So, I think Israel will just get another free pass to do whatever they think they need to do.

Meanwhile, apparently Israel was using something called Unit 8200. So, that's one of their I don't know dark arts people or something, but they were using Microsoft's cloud storage to keep all the mass surveillance on Gaza about all their telephone calls. I guess they had every telephone call and they were storing it on Microsoft servers and Microsoft when they found out that's what it was being used for they said come to my office. So the CEO of Microsoft summoned the head of Unit 8200 and I don't know exactly what he said the CEO but something along the lines of we're shutting this down and they moved all their data so they didn't lose their data they just moved it to Europe or something. But good for Microsoft good for them. I think that had more to do with managing their customer base and their employee base than any real feeling about it, my guess is. But it was the right business decision. By the way, I do have some Microsoft stock.

Blowing my nose wouldn't help. I know you're trying to help. The only time my nose does this is when I do the podcast. It won't do this all day. It'll stop as soon as I'm done. And the blowing the nose makes no difference. It, you know, it's not like I haven't tried. I love some of your suggestions.

All right. How about that Microsoft Word, though? Stay away from Unusual Whales today. Okay, that's an account on X. Okay, they may be saying something bad about the economy. That would be my guess.

All right, ladies and gentlemen. Shall I tell you my story that I was going to tell only the locals people, but I think I already told you. Bill Gates is not a doctor. All right, that's all I got for you. I'm going to talk privately to the beloved subscribers on Locals. So, don't you wish you were one now? We're going to get extra 30 seconds. I'll be private with just the local subscribers.
