it would just put you at parity with your biggest competitor who has access to it now but wouldn't if it got knocked down. But now we can make those chips in the US. So now you're China and you think, "Aha, I can totally overthrow Taiwan now because the US won't have to fight." If they don't want to and they don't want to be in a war, a world war, they don't have to. But before we kind of would have had to because we couldn't let China take control of the chips that would be better than the ones that we could make. That'd be too big a risk. So it's entirely possible that growing our own homegrown best-of chips will sacrifice Taiwan. It's not impossible, you know, it's not impossible.

Apparently Trump is using the shutdown of the government to kill some projects. I didn't know that was an option. I guess the Democrats didn't know it either, but they're finding out. Allegedly, there's some kind of $20 billion New York City tunnel project that Schumer had spent years trying to get passed and finally did. And now because the government's closed, Trump's just going to cancel the whole project. I don't even know if Trump even looked into whether it was a good idea to do the project or not. I think it's just a Schumer project and he worked 20 years to get it, so he's just going to cancel it on his ass. All right, that might be a little bit authoritarian, but I'd have to know if we really need this tunnel. I imagine that we could live without the tunnel and the $20 billion.

There's a story today that somebody built a hunting stand in a tree, which is where the hunters hide from the prey, and then they can take a shot from their hiding place in the tree. They built one that had a complete view of Air Force One when it lands in Palm Beach. So he had the hunting blind had a wide open shot at the president of the United States coming down the gate from his own airplane in a place where he's known to land. Now, the good news is that it was discovered and it looks like it's been there for a while. But we don't know why it was there. We don't know if it was there for that purpose, but it would be a strange place for a hunting blind. Wouldn't you think that Palm Beach would be a strange place to have a hunting blind in a tree? I don't know how many other hunting blinds in trees there are in Palm Beach, but that certainly looks exactly like what it looks like, doesn't it? Bannon's all over that one.

Apparently Boston is looking into having a city-run grocery store. Mamdani has talked about that. They haven't done it yet, but did you know that Atlanta already has one? They have a city-run grocery. And I do not have an update on whether it's working in Atlanta. I imagine they've got some challenges, but it makes me wonder, is there a way to make a government grocery store work without getting rid of the regular grocery stores so the rest of us can have more choice? And I was thinking about that. What would you do if you were the government and you wanted to, I don't want to say compete, but you were going to have an alternative grocery store in the same place where there were regular grocery stores. So the first thing you have to do is make sure that people who had money still preferred the regular grocery stores. And you could do that easily by having more junk food and more selection, right? Selection alone would get the people with money to go there. So the first thing you do is have less selection if it's a government grocery store. I think if you reduce the selection to just basics like vegetables and protein, you could probably find ways to cut costs like crazy because you just keep it simple. It's like, okay, we got five proteins just always the same. But then could you also do something that was direct from farm if you got rid of some regulations because you are the government. So if you got rid of government regulations and said, "All right, you can take your chances
