acerbic wit. So if you like your tweets edgy, if you like a little spice on your tweets, follow Michael Malice. But we did yesterday, I think, a picture of, do you remember E. Jean Carroll who was accusing the president? And you remember how long ago that was? Two weeks, as Michael Malice pointed out in his tweet. It was only two weeks ago we were talking about E. Jean Carroll. Do you know why we'…

I think Epstein is a wait-and-see because there's just way too much we don't know. Somebody saying that Dershowitz has done it. I would bet against that. If I had to bet one thing I would bet that Alan Dershowitz will come out fine for a variety of reasons. But you know I suppose we live in a world where any surprise is possible but I don't think that's going to surprise you. Meaning that I think Dershowitz will be fine and all this stuff. But there does, if it's true that Bill Clinton was on Epstein's jet 26 times or whatever, I don't know how you explain that.
Do you? All right, we're just leaving all those people who complain about the sound. One down. All right.
I saw a story that the Navy is outfitting the destroyers. The Navy is putting lasers on. Lasers. Now apparently the big problem with a laser on the ship is having enough power source on the ship to power the laser. And you know maybe even nuclear isn't enough because you have to, it's not enough that you produce a lot of energy. You have to store it so that it can be released in its most concentrated form. So they have some technical things that are tough but apparently they're on the way to solving them and will actually have lasers that can take out drones.
So imagine this. You're probably going to see this in the future. Imagine a fleet of hundreds of enemy drones. They could be small or they could be big but let's say there are hundreds of them just blackening the sky and it's coming toward your carrier group. And imagine that the destroyer fires up its laser. And of course a laser can, the advantage of a laser I think is that it's the speed of light, right? If you fire a bullet or a missile you have to time it so that the flight of the bullet or missile matches a flying object which is hard. But if you're aiming a laser the laser essentially arrives at the same time it's fired. Speed of light. I mean there's a little delay but the object will not have moved much. So I think you can simply light up y

our screen with all your targets and I think the laser, maybe not version one but I think the laser can just go up up up up up and take out 300 drones in five seconds. I guess it depends how long the pulse lasts. But the other thing you could do is sort of like Babylon 5, the shadows, where you saw that the laser would just be continuous. So instead of firing bursts it would be like a sword in the…
