ver have a proper country. Elon Musk commented on Bukele's comment and said the only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges. No one is above the law, including judges. Now, how do you feel about that? Isn't it scary to you if the executive can fire all the judges or whatever judge they want to fire? Because I would put the executive really in charge of the judicial branc…

ttacking Ukraine? It would sort of just look like NATO but a little bit crippled. So what good is that? Anyway, I don't think anything is close with Ukraine and Russia. So I said that it was going to be like a year before anything got serious. I think it'll be a year because Russia is just going to be grinding them down, and they don't seem to be in any hurry. So they'll just keep grinding.

All right. So I told you, those of you who joined at the beginning, that my IQ is about 40 percent lower today. And I fell asleep five times just getting my notes together. So what I'm going to do, which I haven't done before but I always wanted to do this, is I want to look at X and then see what's new on there and then comment on it live.

All right. I don't want to do the ones where somebody's mad about somebody's race or ethnicity. Actuators. Well, I don't think I'm seeing anything that's super interesting, honestly. Trump reversing Humphrey's executor is not priced in. Okay, I'd have to read that. Don't feel like it. China says no thanks to Nvidia's H200 chip even after Trump said go ahead. So here I am. I just talked about that H200 chip, and China's like, "No thanks." All right. According to Mario Nawfal, in a plot twist no one saw coming, Beijing is now restricting access to Nvidia's ultra-powerful H200 chip right after Trump cleared the way for them to get it. Why are they doing that? Does it say why? Why would Beijing block its own companies from buying? And the answer is control, paranoia, strategy, maybe all three. Well, we don't know. Maybe. Oh, I'm going to put an idea out there. Do you think that China has, they're getting close to making their own chips and we don't know about it? If I had to guess, I would say the reason that China would restrict access for its own companies to get these chips is that they have some other source but it's not quite ready yet. So they want to delay until they can get the source that they want and not have to rely on Nvidia. That's what I think.

Oh my goodness. No, I'm not going to read that. China just killed the silicon tax. I don't even know what that is. How about let's see what else is big. Wise man said Marine Corps should pay for Marine Corps branded pull-up bars at every airport gate around the country so when you're waiting for your flight you c

an do pull-ups. Okay. Steve Milloy, he's always fun. So Steve Milloy is one of the climate doubters. And he says the real inconvenient truth is this, says Big Joe Bastardi. I guess that's somebody on X. After 30-plus years and more than 10 to 12 trillion spent globally on the climate emergency that Al Gore and the liar's megaphones told us was already upon us, none of the short-term catastrophic…
