le thinking about it differently. They're not as anti-nuclear. So we're going to take that nuclear asset and we're going to turn it into something valuable. Well, which one is it? Well, we got there a little late. Okay. Okay. But which one did you get? Well, as I said, a lot of the good ones were snatched up right away. Okay, you're not answering the question. Which one did you get? Three Mile Isl…

or something. They knew what they were doing. So I don't think you want to overlook the power of that part of their talent stack and the fact that the competitors who don't seem to be in their class, you could very easily identify what they're missing. It's humor. It's what they're missing.

All right, here's a story I don't believe. Joe Ho is reporting that Dominion voting machines have been found to have phone chips on their motherboards like you could just make a phone call to your election machine. Now maybe I don't have evidence that it's not true. But do you believe that we just learned just learned that Dominion had phone chips on all their motherboards? That doesn't sound right, does it? So I'm going to have to back Dominion on this one so I don't get sued. I'm going to say it doesn't strike me as likely, and I don't see proof of it. So I'm going to say you better bring a little bit more evidence than that. And it's going to take something like a demonstration of multiple boards before you could ever convince me that they were just sitting out there the whole time with phone chips on them and we just now figured it out. There's something wrong with that story.

All right. North Korean workers are going to be making Russian drones according to Matt in the Long War Journal. That's what they say. So that's the war. It's going to be a robot war, mostly drones, and it's going to be North Koreans pounding them out and the three remaining living Russians will be flying them.

I guess Trump wants to have unified federal standards for AI so that all the states don't have their own standards. Now, I don't know much about this domain, but doesn't it make sense that you would just have federal standards and then everybody could know what they've got? They wouldn't have to worry about every state having their own AI standard. Yes. But the reason I brought it up is not because it's a good idea probably. It's that for the first time I feel that the administration understands the topic. Meaning that in the first Trump administration, maybe they had the right people to make a decision like this. I don't know. Certainly in the Biden administration, I don't think they had the people who could make this decision. But then you fast forward into the current administration and you've got your David Sachs and I could go down the line. There are people who actually understand the domain. So we're finally at a place where I don't have to think about it. I just say to myself, all right, who's in the administration? This one, this one, this one. Oh, they got that. Yeah. I'm not going to tell Sachs that he got it wrong. He obviously knows more than I do about that domain. So I feel good about that, that we have the right people in the right places.

All right. And the Trump administration, this feels like it's happened so many times before. Oh no. This is funny. There's apparently, according to Brianna, the Biden regime was allowing illegal aliens into the country who were convicted of sex crimes. Do you believe that the people convicted, not just accused, but convicted of sex crimes were allowed into our country? But it gets better, and by that I mean worse. What kind of ID do you think they had to show if they were a convicted sex offender and they wanted to enter the country? What would be the burden of proof on their ID? Turns out that the TSA accepted the sex offender paperwork. So if they had documentation that proved they were sexual offenders, come

right in. And I think that's real. I mean, it sounds like something fake, doesn't it? It really doesn't sound like it's real, but I feel like it might be real. All right. And the Trump administration has plans to unveil the education department. How many times have we done that? I feel like every month or so there's a story that says, oh, and we're going to dismantle the Department of Education a…
