s. I guess the American beef is way overpriced at the moment for a variety of reasons, supply and demand mostly, but I guess Argentina has some beef that we could get for cheaper. And Trump has said maybe yes, maybe that is a way. So I like the fact that he's open to it and it would be good for our ally and it might be good for us in the short run. I have a confession after about 30 years of bein…

thought. At first you're going to say, "No, it's not. No, that's just your business model. That's not safe. You can't tell me it's safe." And then they'll say it again. So you hear it twice. Still won't convince you. How about a hundred times? How about if you hear a hundred times from a hundred different sources? Totally safe. Yeah, you can use agent mode. Everybody's doing it.

Elon Musk announced that his Wikipedia competitor that will be called Grokpedia was going to launch at the end of this week, but he thinks he needs more time to clean up all the wokeness and propaganda that's in there.

They've already got a hundred square miles and a bunch of billionaire rich people, tech people who are in on it. And the idea is to design a city from scratch because you know most of our cities were built over time. They weren't really designed intelligently. They just sort of evolved. And so they would put the manufacturing near th

e living spaces so you'd have jobs but you wouldn't have to commute that much. And they'd fix the transportation so it's easy to get from one place to the other. They would fix the building architecture so that it looked good. There's no reason it can't look good and be the most livable places and affordable that you could have. What is it that you say when I say people are looking at new living…
