ll an AI scientist. So Cosmos is a specialized AI that will act as a scientist. And apparently they've already tested this thing and it can read 1,500 papers and write 42,000 lines of code and that 79% of its findings are reproducible and that it's made seven discoveries so far. Now, are those discoveries that you can use or are they discoveries that weren't discovered because nobody thought that…
← Previous segment →d we do about the midterms? I've got an idea. Why don't you keep the government shut down for another year? Wait, that's crazy talk. We can't go a year without a government. You would have said that about three months. We went three months without a government. Next thing you know, that's all they'll have. Well, they also have cursing. So they have not doing their job, as in shutting down the government, and they also have cursing. So those are their two go-tos, cursing and not working. If I told you that one of the parties had decided that their strategy was to curse more and not do work, would you have guessed which one I was? Would you have said to yourself, "Hm, they want to curse more and they want to not work. Yeah, that could be a Republican." No, that couldn't be a Republican. That actually could not be a Republican. You would be mocked so hard if you were a Republican and you said, "Let's do the not work thing."
Anyway, I guess the Supreme Court is looking at tariffs today, I believe, or this week. So Justice Barrett was asking about if we reverse the tariffs, is there any practical way to refund the money to which I think refund the tariffs? What kind of monster are you? It's bad enough that you might take the tariffs away from Trump as a weapon, but you want to refund. Are you kidding me? You want to refund the $200 billion that he's already collected? How about we just don't bring that up? Even if we decide we don't want to do tariffs, how about we just keep that money? Can I send over a guy to teach you how money works? His name is Trump. You may have heard of him. And if you could imagine, you know, close your eyes and imagine a table that only has one thing on it, a big pile of money and all you have to do is take it and you can keep it and there's no penalty. What would Trump do? He would probably, you know, check. Anybody really. Are you serious? Nobody's going to take this money. All right. And then he scooped it up because he's smarter than you. Not you, but he's smarter than people when it comes to handling money. And no, you don't even bring up the conversation of should we refund it. No, that's not how any of this works. Anyway, so we'll see what happens. The alarming thing is that if the Supreme Court decides we can or cannot have tariffs, worse of course if they decide we can't, wouldn't that basically put them in charge of everything? Like why would the Supreme Court get to decide how the president can use his weapons? Because it's a weapon, right? You mostly,

I mean it's a tax collection process too. But the Constitution doesn't say anything about collecting taxes, but we do it. So yeah, I'm just concerned that it's the wrong branch of government handling the most important thing. It's just the wrong branch of government. Anyway, three Chinese nationals from the University of Michigan have been arrested, it looks like, and charged for smuggling what t…
