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 predictions came true on the timelines given. None is zero. Human well-being, life expectancy, poverty, all those things improved faster than at almost any time in history. The people who actually risk their own money, and that would include banks, insurers, developers, home buyers, keep voting with trillions of dollars that the doomsday version is not imminent. That's a pretty good point, isn't it? That the people who are putting their own money on the line are acting like climate's not going to stop them. Yet the policies, taxes, bans, and surveillance systems being rolled out in the name of climate are more intrusive and permanent than anything we accepted even at the height of COVID. All right, good point.

How much do you think that everybody agrees with the statement that none of the predictions came true? Because if you turned on, let's say, Real Time with Bill Maher and let's say he had a Democrat guest, do you think that the Democrat guest would agree with the statement that none of the predictions of climate disaster have come true? Just none of them. Would they agree with that? Because I saw just recently somebody in that category who claimed that a lot of the predictions were true. Are you aware of any predictions that are true in terms of doom? Are there more accidents? Have the ice caps melted beyond what we'd expect maybe? Did some kind of animals die? I'm not aware of anything that happened that was true. But it could be that I'm in my bubble, right? I might just be in my bubble. But it must be fun to be Steve Milloy because I believe he's been making these points for 10 years. And now when he makes a post like that, I look at it and I go, well, you were 10 years early. I didn't doubt him, by the way. I didn't doubt him, but I didn't know how accurate it would be. He was very accurate.

Eric Daugherty on X, he's got a post here about Caroline Leavitt, spokesperson for Trump. She nuked Democrats as quote the greatest con artists in American politics. So she said they're pretending to champion the issue of affordability when they themselves created the worst inflation crisis in a generation. You can't create the problem and then act like you're the one solving it. Now I'm not a big fan of trying to attribute blame because that feels like living in the past. It's worth understanding how we got here, but if you're trying to solve it, I'd rather just focus on the solving it part. I realize politics is politics, but it doesn't really help me to hear the attributions of blame.

All right. David Axelrod says judge grants Justice Department request to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell's records in the sex trafficking case. What are we going to learn if Ghislaine Maxwell's records get unsealed? Probably nothing like usual. He says I hope Trump reads them before he pardons her. Well, I think I can agree with David Axelrod on this that we never know why somebody gets pardoned. So whatever we know isn't what they know.

On the New York Times. Okay. Looking at your comments. Shootings. All right. This is just people defending themselves against other people claiming things. President Trump was, I guess he was talking to Politico. He said that Maduro's days, the head of Venezuela, are numbered before refusing to provide Politico with a plan of action. So Trump just says, quote, "His days are numbered." Reporter: Can you rule out an American ground invasion? Now, is that the dumbest question in the world? Since when does Trump ever rule something in or out? If it's military, he doesn't. How many times has he told us, "I'm not going to rule anything in or out. It just limits his own options." But Politico has to ask, "Can you rule out an American ground invasion?" Trump: Why would I talk to you, an extremely unfriendly publication? So he just attacks the publication for asking the question, basically, and I agree with him.

Interesting. There's a show called Paradise on Apple TV. Have you heard of that? Glenn Greenwald says I've never seen a show as polarizing as Vince Gilligan's Paradise. Well, now I want to watch it. Many people I like hate it. Boring, slow, and insufferable, some say. But I guess Glenn says it's one of the best, most thought-provoking TV programs ever. Can't recommend it enough. Al
