e under 30 would be I don't know 10% of them. So that's not most of them. But I do wonder if the time in history is sort of weirdly perfect that there are a lot of unemployed young people for reasons that probably have nothing to do with AI, but AI is going to make a lot of people maybe underemployed. Maybe part-time work is what we all want and then AI fills in for the rest. Would you be happy if you had no job? Some of you would. I wouldn't be happy with no job. You know even if let's say I lost my current career completely but AI was giving me enough money to live and I had a house and everything. I would do a part-time job and I would be happy that I had it and it could be working at Starbucks or something. But I'm definitely going to have to get out of the house. I'm going to have to do something. I mean, I'm not going to sit around and pet my cats and wait for my universal payment check to come in and the robots to clean my house. What kind of life is that?

So I feel like we're moving toward almost everybody will have a part-time job because the AI will do the other part of the job.

China is allegedly tightening up on their sales of rare earth materials. This might be preparing for a meeting with Trump so they have more leverage. Haha, you can't get our rare earth materials. So they're doing a number of things to make it harder for anybody to cheat and send out any rare earth materials from China that they don't know about. Given that that seems to be China's primary leverage over us more so than almost everything else is this rare earth material stuff. Whatever we're doing to take that leverage away. We really need to do that quickly. Whatever we think is our biggest problem in the world. It might be this. It might be the biggest problem in the world that China has us by the rare earth materials if you know what I mean. So I do see the government doing what looks like a lot of stuff to open up mines and get past regulations and partner with companies that need a little help and all that. So I do think they're putting a lot of effort into it, but it seems like the right amount of effort would be just all hands on deck kind of thing. So I don't know if we're up to that challenge yet, but we're probably heading there.

Well, I saw a meme that I was so impressed with. I've told you before you should follow a user called Maze. M A Z E. If you're looking for his account, it's Maze Moore. M A Z E M O O R E all one word. And he found and I don't know how he did this exactly. There must be some kind of video search engine I don't know about. But he found I think there were like eight different interviews in which Rob Reiner was saying let's see several years ago he said in an interview we've got 241 years of self-rule that basically depends on keeping Trump out of office. So he was saying 241 years of self-rule in the United States and Trump's going to take it all away. And then the year after he said, "We only have 242 years of self-rule and Trump's going to take it away." And the next year he said, "We got 243 years of self-rule, but this Trump's going to take it away." And then the next year he said, well, he got all the way up to 249 years. And then the last one was teasing that I don't know if we'll make it to 250 years. Now it gets funnier as you go along. When you read the first one, you're like, I don't why are you even doing this? Then the second one is incremented by one year. You go, okay, is this what I think? Then the third one is incremented by one year. And then you start laughing. And then every time it goes up a year, you laugh harder. And you realize that for 10 years, he's been saying that we're going to lose our freedom any minute now for 10 years in a row and basically nothing's different. You we think now he says we only have a year to correct our 250 year experiment. Well, what's going to happen if we don't correct it? Will the border get closed and the GDP be 3.7 and will there be peace in Gaza? Is that what he's worried about? Poor stupid bastard.

And then yeah, there's definitely something happening here. John Stewart, who of course is no friend to MAGA, but to his credit, he's also a pretty straight shooter, like he is willing to say things unpopular if they ring as true. So he is a special kind of character somewhat like Bill Maher that they're braver than most people who would identify more with the left than the right but he's going after Chuck Schumer. He's made fun of Chuck Schumer being a bad face of the Democrats because he has to be a Democrat. But now John Stewart just did a piece where he called Chuck Schumer, quote, "A human flat tire." Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to be a real serious Democrat and then watch the face of your movement be Chuck Schumer? How would that feel to you? And this has nothing to do with policies or anything else. Would you want that guy to be the face of your party? I mean, seriously, even John Stewart is saying, "Ah, we got to do better than this. We got to do better than this."

Anyway, in other news, former FBI director James Comey has pled not guilty on charges of making false statements to Congress. He did not get a perp walk. His home was not invaded at 6:00 a.m. Nobody handcuffed him, as far as I know. So it's kind of a quiet news story that doesn't have much of a visual element to it. I'm expecting him not to be guilty. What do you think? Or maybe the case will even be thrown out for lack of something. I don't think there's really any chance that he's going to get convicted. I don't know. Maybe. I mean, it's not impossible. I just don't think the world works that way. I think even if they have him dead to rights, they're just going to say, "Ah." And there'll be at least one juror who said, "Ah, you know, I'm not going to convict him just for that. Everybody lies." All you need is one juror who says, "Everybody lies. And that's it. Trump lies. Why isn't he in jail? All these other people lied. Why aren't they in jail?" So I'm just going to put this one guy in jail. The one guy. Everybody's lying to Congress all the time, but I'm going to put this one guy in jail. Honestly, if you put me on the jury, I don't know that I would convict him, even if I thought he was guilty. I'm being honest because I like to live in a world where there's at least some consistency, right? And if I knew that tons of famous people on both sides had lied to Congress for years and years, would I care that somebody lik
