m? Yeah. It's like the end of the world problem. And it would be because in large part because people believe that the climate is going to destroy the planet. So you don't want to put your kids here to get destroyed. So now it may be behind underpopulation. It may the climate models might be behind massive mental health problems. We know that people have all this anxiety if they believe in climate…

ng into phase one pediatric trials. Oh I didn't say. So this is I think for children's brain cancer specifically.

Now the way things move slowly, even if this is the magic bullet, it probably won't be available in time to save my life. But this is one of now several different cancer treatments that have something in common, which is they take something from your body and then they build up a special kind of a shot that's just for you. And I think I've read about half a dozen of these completely different tech, but in each case they're customizing a vaccine just for a person and all kinds of claims of success. So you know what I say? Can you do that a little bit faster and you know like a lot faster? That would be really good if you don't mind.

Anyway, the robot energy wars are going on. I guess 450 Russian drones attacked Ukraine's energy sites. They're trying to shut them down before the winter so that Ukraine will have no warmth in the winter. And that would be pretty ugly. And I guess they're being pretty successful. 450 Russian drones in one night. I wonder what the top number for that's going to get to like the total number of drones for one attack. You think it'll reach a million? Because it might, you know 450 is going to be a thousand pretty soon. And if they're just cranking up their drone factories, thousand becomes a 100,000. So whoever could get to a million drones at a time probably wins. And apparently the Russian strikes have already taken out 60% of Ukraine's natural gas. Now if Ukraine had enough money from other helpers, they can replace the natural gas. But it's an energy war. So it's now robots versus energy.

As I told you, I guess the US is going to buy a bunch of Argentine currency, the pesos, and they're doing it to help prop up the country's economy and help their good friend Milei, the new leader, newish leader of Argentina. What I like about this is that it's not a gift. It is an investment. And the person behind it is Scott Bessent, head of the Treasury, who is one of the most famously successful currency traders in the world. So we're sending like one of the best guys in America to make this investment and Bessent thinks it's a good one. I kind of love this because it's part of the Monroe doctrine that this part of the world is ours. You know keep your military out of it and we'll try to keep things stable and do what makes sense. This makes sense. And having the best guy in the world in charge of it, that makes sense. And I would bet that the US will make a tidy little profit and Argentina will be directly benefited in a big way. And I like everything about it.

Well according to a University of California Los Angeles study, there were more hate acts in California than usual. And allegedly in 2024, 3.1 million Californians who were 12 years up and older experienced a hate act. Now that could be verbal or physical, but a hate act in the previous year. Do you believe that? Do you believe that 3.1 million Californians over the age of 12 in one year that there were 3.1 million of them that experienced a hate act? Well here again they should have just come to me and said, "Scott, how many Californians do you think experienced a hate act last year?" And I would have said, "How many of them are on social media?" And we're done. How in the world can you be on

social media and not observe a hate act every day? Do you know how many hate acts are implemented against just me alone? I mean just one Californian. Every single day I get hate. Very obvious hate. So no, it's not 3.1 million saw some hate. It was every single person on social media. It's called social media. ZeroHedge is reporting. You know how we found out that US taxpayers were paying maybe up…
