le. I was told that directly. And the reason I was working for the phone company is that I had been working for a bank and they too told me directly in San Francisco, we cannot promote you because you're white and you're male.

Now it's 2025 and people have been exposed to how that whole world was working. Now you know it's true, right? Wouldn't you agree that that is no longer even a wild idea that I was told directly in completely clear language that they were going to discriminate against me with no end in sight? Now it's completely believable, isn't it? So if you wait long enough, I had to wait decades to be cleared. But there it is.

You remember American Eagle, the clothing company. And remember they had Sydney, what's her name? Sydney Sweeney, right? So Sydney Sweeney did the provocative campaign and apparently it was really good for sales. So their sales are up 136% since the Sweeney ads. That's pretty good. So what have we learned from that? People like breasts. I know. I know. Surprising, isn't it? But if you pair breasts with pretty much anything, people will pay attention. So there's your lesson for the day. Breasts. We like them.

Or at the very least, it would scare them into self-deporting because they wouldn't want to be on the hook for $5,000. But we'll see. I don't know how much of that you're going to be able to collect, but if you could actually collect it, it would be big dollars pretty soon.

Well, the Supreme Court is going to take up the case of birthright citizenship, the question of whether you're automatically an American citizen if you're born in this country, you know, no exceptions. And you know what that makes me think? It makes me think that maybe Trump is not an authoritarian. If you were an authoritarian, would you need to go to the Supreme Court to get permission to say that people born here in some cases are not citi
