o here's what I like about Putin's persuasion game. Don't misquote me. I didn't say I like Putin. I'm just saying that he's got a really strong persuasion game and the fact that he's playing so nice with Melania. It's just more of that it is so smart that he's extra nice to Melania and that there's just no friction whatsoever is created in that domain and it looks like he you know it looks like he…

I feel like they at least just from an anecdotal perspective, I don't have any data on this, but it seems like the Japanese might be and maybe the South Koreans might be a little bit of overclaimers when it comes to science. You know what I mean? Just a little bit.
Well, podcaster, journalist—I don't know what he would call himself, but let's say podcaster, journalist, independent journalist—Benny Johnson has announced that apparently there was somebody been threatening his family and he got Pam Bondi involved and that person got arrested. So somebody had threatened to kill his wife and kids and nothing in person, I guess, just sent a letter. Who would be dumb enough to send a physical letter threatening somebody's life? How old do you have to be to think that that's the way to go about that? Like to write a physical letter threatening somebody's life? Wow.
Well, so good on you, Benny Johnson, for fighting back against that, being aggressive, and I'm glad that Bondi is responding to that.
Well, apparently Trump has now struck a deal with big pharma company AstraZeneca for what is being reported by Just the News as offering what do they call it the most favored nation pricing now. So that's what the news is, but I don't believe the news because here's the problem. In order for these big pharma companies to do what Trump wants, which is to give the United States the same low pricing as, you know, the best price another country gets, there is such a difference that the only way they can maintain their profitability if they were to lower the US prices since we're the biggest market. The only way they could do that is to massively increase their prices for third world countries until they wouldn't be able to afford their meds. Or is there some third thing I don't know about? They either have to not do it and keep making their money and hoping they get away with it or if they lower—if they actually do this and give the US the same prices as the lowest price. There isn't any way they could maintain profitability. So how did they do this? There's something in the story that's missing, right? Would you agree? There's something missing. It's either limited to just a few drugs because I think that's what—was it Pfizer? I think Pfizer was just limited to a few drugs. So it sounded like it was a bigger deal than it was. I didn't see that this is limited, but it's got to be limited somehow. There's no way they can just lower their prices.
Well, Gavin Newsom is doing his Gavin Newsom jazz hands cursing thing, which he believes is how he will jazz hands curse himself into the presidency. And he's playing this childlike mental game with Joe Rogan to try to get invited on the Joe Rogan podcast because Joe said some negative things about his chances of being president. And so here's how he responds to that. He boasted that he was quote punching back at that quote son of a bitch Joe Rog

an. He said, "Joe, why won't you have me on the show?" He was on another podcast when he said this. He said, "He won't have me on the show. It's a one way and he has guests coming on attacking and bashing, but he won't have me on the show. Full stop. He should have me on the show." And basically challenged him to do it. Now, does it seem to you that cursing and insulting Joe Rogan is how you get…
