t out the people who accuse them, we can redact that, there was no chance any of this would work out. So I believe unfortunately as smart as Thomas Massie is he created a system with Luna that guarantees that we will never see the stuff that you think is important. So unfortunately yesterday I predicted that the bad people would resist even at the risk of going to jail, even at the risk of jail, that we would not see the full stuff because it's just too easy to redact it.

But I saw somebody ask online, why doesn't Thomas Massie release it? If he knows the names, why doesn't he tell us? Apparently, there are a number of people who know the names. However, you also don't know if there's some other reason they're not telling you stuff. Because imagine if what would happen if the CIA came in and said, "All right, this is not protecting the guilty, but there's a whole bunch of stuff that you cannot know because it would be a national security problem." Let's say, and I don't believe this is true, but let's say Epstein was at least partially a CIA asset and he had done some things that we don't want our adversaries to know or even the domestic audience to know. Yeah.

So Bannon knows the names, correct? Do you think that Bannon quitting has anything to do with the non-release of the Epstein files? What do you think? It could be a coincidence because it's the end of the year so people make big changes at the end of years. So I know that Bannon wanted to quit, but we don't know why. So at the moment, I would say that's a maybe. Maybe it had something to do with Epstein. And maybe, but it could be that he just hated the job, couldn't hack it anymore. Seems likely. Too on the nose. Yeah, it was too on the nose to say that that's why he quit. I think family and end of the year probably. Bunch of you quit in the summer. Well, I don't think he made it official in the summer, but I think he decided in the summer. That would be pretty tough on your marriage if you're just never home.

All right. Yes, Stefanik. Elise Stefanik is dropping out of politics and not running for governor. You saw what Elon saw.

All right. What other stories are there? Let's see. There's new interceptor aircraft that can kill drones. Cool.

While you do that, what's going to happen? The world's first humanoid robot-led EV battery production begins in China. So the one, if I'm saying it right, it's a humanoid robot. Delivers over 99 percent connection success, matches skilled worker cycle times, and detects wiring faults in real time. So I guess China is actually implementing some robots.

We also know, I'll add this into the definite fact. Some of you remember that I was speculating the only way our deficits could be so bad is if somebody was stealing trillions of dollars and somehow we were not stopping it. I now believe that's a fact that the reason for our deficit, not 100 percent of the reason, but a large part of our total deficit is absolutely just crime. Would you agree that that's essentially a fact now? Like look, you don't have to speculate if our tax money is being stolen. It is being stolen at probably something in the half a trillion to a trillion dollar a year range. Would you buy that? Would you buy that estimate that every year probably for several years at least when the deficits exploded that probably half a trillion to a trillion is just pure fraud? And that is probably in most of the states. I'm pretty sure California has even more fraud than Minnesota, but there's no way it's just happening in Minnesota. You know, there might be a few states like Florida where it's not that bad.

We can also say with confidence that the NGOs which are being dismantled at least a little bit are primarily for the purpose of Democrat fraud primarily. So those are essentially just criminal organizations disguised as legitimate charities. So I would say we can move that to the fact pile.

Hey, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Yeah, anything run by family members is some form of fraud, even if it's not technically illegal.

All right, everybody say happy birthday to Owen.

Yeah, the California bullet train. My god. Wow. Japan is trialing a, this is also on Owen's X, Japan trials 100 kilowatt laser weapon that can cut through metal and drones mid-flight. Oh, that's so cool. Do you remember the shadow ships from Babylon 5? And they had these cool laser weapons that was a sci-fi show many years ago. And the laser weapons would make this cool sound like and slice through the other spaceships. Well, we're almost there with our laser defensive weapons.

All right. So what do you think about the way Trump apparently used the threat of tariffs to get all the big pharma companies to drastically lower th
