Chapter 1: What is the joy of the 'simultaneous'?
Shiny, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine, the end of the day thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous that happens now. Go. That is just so good.
Chapter 2: What health benefits can one egg provide?
Well, according to New Atlas, there's a new study out that says that eating one egg a week lowers heart disease death risk by 29%. Just one egg. All you need is one egg per week. Now, I'm telling you this so you can start saving up. If you put away a little bit every week, eventually you'll be able to afford an egg. And it's really good for you. I recommend canceling your health care.
Chapter 3: How is AI evolving in robotics?
and using that money to buy an egg. Same outcome, really. Well, here's some news that might sound nerdy and small to you, but it might be really, really big. The company called Figure, they're making robots that look like humanoids, much like Tesla. And their latest announcement is they're not going to use OpenAI anymore. as the brains of their computer, or the brains of their robot.
And that's a big deal because they had an agreement with OpenAI. So they were already in association with OpenAI. But what they found was that OpenAI was great for sort of general purpose stuff, but it wasn't optimized for robots. So somehow, figure made its own AI or found a different one, but they got an AI that's optimized for robots.
And the head of figure is predicting that the world will not be lots of machines filled with generic AI, but rather every device might have its own AI, an AI that's trained on the specifics of what you need to be a robot or something like that. So I don't know if the robot would then not be able to answer general questions. the way an open AI would be.
But apparently it's going to give them the ability to roll out an operating robot way faster than if they used a generic AI. So that's coming. Something coming in the next 30 days, they say, that's going to be a big deal. Here's some good news. Every now and then there's a story that just makes you feel good. And this one is the let's call it the conclusion, I hope, of the Daniel Penny story.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of Daniel Penny's new job?
You remember Daniel Penny? He tried to save some people in a subway, but unfortunately the person he was holding down died. He was cleared of all that in what I thought was a racially motivated case. But once you go through that kind of thing, it's hard to get your life back together. So here's the good news. He was just offered a job by Andreessen Horowitz.
So Mark Andreessen's company with Ben Horowitz. And it's one of the big venture capital companies in Silicon Valley, one of the most famous, noted ones. And they're going to teach him investing. Now, I don't know if that means he's actually going to be making investment decisions, or if it means that he needs to learn what the company does so that he finds his role there.
Because I don't know what background he has to make him a venture capitalist. But on the other hand, maybe it's not that hard to train somebody to be a venture capitalist. It's not like they get most of their or plays right, most of the bats, even by the smartest people, end up being the wrong bat. But they can play the numbers, make it work. So that's great. That is nothing but good news.
And I love the fact that Andreessen Horowitz stepped up to just right that little bit of wrong in the world. And I'd like to thank them personally. So Andreessen Horowitz, nicely done. I think the country, or at least a big part of the country, just appreciates that. It just tied up that story just the way it needed to be.
Because you want to know that somebody who put their, risked their own neck, which is what he did, you want to know that if somebody risks their neck for other people and doesn't ask anything in return, can still you know, have a good outcome. So, wow, it made me feel good.
I guess Trump's going to keep things interesting today by allegedly he's going to sign some kind of executive order that would ban biological males from women's sports. Now, we don't know how deeply that goes. Would that include professional sports? And would he even be able to do that? Would it include All high school and college? We don't know. But we'll see.
I would argue that although he genuinely wants to do this and his base genuinely wants it to happen, I think the majority of the country, actually, over 50%, are completely on board with this. But what I love about it is part of it is overwhelming the news. I didn't realize. I saw a video. I think it was maybe at the beginning of the first term of Trump, his first four years.
And it was Steve Bannon explaining how to defeat the fake news. And you do it by overwhelming them so that they can't get a beat on anything. There's just more coming than they can handle. And you see that in action. So this was perhaps Steve Bannon's original strategy. Maybe he got it from someone else. I don't know. But it was fun to see the origin of that.
It looks like that might have been the origin of just overwhelming the news. So I see this...

Chapter 5: What is Trump's executive order regarding women's sports?
executive order as well as a lot of the other ones as part of that strategy to make sure that they just can't figure out what he's doing there's just too much going on and this one's wonderful because it gets everybody worked up oh biological men and women's sports we've got to fight about this so perfect strategy uh meanwhile i don't know if this is true
But I think it was Wall Street Journal that was saying that RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are on a glide path to confirmation. Do you think that's true? I guess they both got on a committee, which is the step before the full vote. And getting through the committee is hard enough. And probably that tells you what you need to know about what the vote will do. But I don't know. Is it really...
Is it really a done deal? I guess the thinking is that the Republicans who might have resisted have been co-opted. So they either got some kind of thing in response or they got some assurances or something. But it's looking like maybe they're going to go through. Maybe they're going through. Now, what I like is that the reason given that the RFK Jr.
nomination would go through is that the politicians were afraid of saying no, which I don't think you see with most nominees. But what you saw when it looked like RFK Jr. might not be confirmed, people went fucking nuts, and they should, because we had a deal. You know what I mean? We had a deal, which is if RFK Jr. takes the enormous risk of playing with Trump, we got to back him.
Chapter 6: What is the current status of RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard's confirmations?
And, you know, not only did his own, you know, people who kind of allowed themselves to be wrapped in the Trump world for at least to get their stuff done. I think we owe them. A deal's a deal, right? A deal's a deal. So if we don't get RFK Jr. through, I'm going to go nuts. And I'm going to make sure whoever voted against him who's a Republican definitely knows that was a bad idea.
Eventually they're going to know that was a very bad idea. But it looks like maybe they'll get through. So, could be good news. According to Futurism, a publication, the FBI has quietly revealed that it has a real-life UFO office. The FBI has a UFO office. Just like the X-Files. Now, apparently the Pentagon also had a UFO office. Or maybe it was a UAP, but real UFOs.
So I've got a suggestion for Doge. If you're looking for an easy cut, I don't think we need a UFO office. Have they found one yet? Let's put it this way. If the UFO office of the FBI has found a real UFO, they can stay. If they haven't found a UFO yet, maybe we don't need the UFO office. It's funny that it even exists. Anyway, apparently El Salvador keeps doing smart things.
Have you noticed that whenever El Salvador is in the news, no matter what the specifics of the topic are, the general theme is, oh, that's like really well done. Or, huh, looks like you got another good idea there, El Salvador. Or, huh, strategically, that's kind of brilliant. Have you noticed that? So I guess Bukele is just you know, slaying it.
And one of the things he did when Marco Rubio was down there yesterday or whatever it was, I think it was yesterday, they worked out a deal where the United States has offered to help El Salvador build a domestic nuclear energy structure. Now, I worry that the United States doesn't have enough nuclear energy experts to build our own stuff.
But we better be developing that really quickly because if we're not, we're dumb. So how important is it that the United States becomes sort of the big brother to South American countries that are looking for clean energy? Really, really important because the last thing you want is for somebody like El Salvador to say, you know, we need energy. We're not going to do without it. So China.
Can you help us build a nuclear reactor? We can't go there. So yes, everything about this is good. El Salvador being smart again. Good job. Read about this in Breitbart. All right, we have to talk about Trump and Gaza. That's what you're waiting for, right? So this is a story that just, I almost fell off my chair.
So if you're watching my posting on X, you may have noticed a change of opinion on my part. So this is a complete 180. When it was first announced, and I saw the video of Trump saying, hey, maybe the United States will just take over Gaza.
We'll be in charge of cleaning it up, and then we'll just own it, and we'll rebuild it into the Riviera of the Middle East, and it'll become an important port for the whole world, and everything will be great. But the current residents... will not be there for many years while it gets cleaned up. Apparently it would take years to even make it safe to live there. So he drops that.

Chapter 7: What new developments are happening with El Salvador's energy plans?
Now, it might have been good for them in the long run. 30 years from now, they would just have more land, more safety, more security. So in the long run, it was probably all good. But for decades, it was going to be really bad. So Israel didn't really have a clean path to a win. They couldn't depopulate it because that looks like ethnic cleansing.
They couldn't say, hey, now that we've killed most of the people we hate, why don't you go back there and live there? Well, first of all, it's too unsafe. Second of all, they haven't gotten rid of Hamas and looks like they're not even that close. And so there wasn't a solution. It was a 100% unsolvable problem. So what does Trump do?
What do you do if you have people who can't unite and come up with a common solution? What is the one thing that will make people who absolutely are at each other's throats stop fighting each other and unite? There's only one thing. An external common threat. An external common threat.
That's the only thing that makes people who hate each other for this long put down their weapons and say, all right, temporarily... temporarily, we need to get together and fight this other external threat. Trump's the external threat. He's not good for Israel. He's not good for America. It's not good for any of the residents of Gaza. It's not good for Saudi Arabia. They're already complaining.
And I haven't heard what the European countries are saying, but you know they don't like it. I haven't heard what China and Russia say about it, but I don't think they're in favor of it. So not only did Trump end the war, let me say that again, he ended the war. There can't be a war if there's nobody next to somebody else. Because Hamas, wherever they end up,
under this plan, if this happens, wherever they end up would be spread around in different places, and it would be really hard to mount any kind of a real attack on Israel proper. So he just basically said, Trump did, the war is over. The only thing you get to decide, you meaning Israel, Gaza, and all the related countries, all you get to decide, do you have a better offer? That's it. That's it.
The only thing they get to decide is do you have a better offer? And they don't. They don't. But you know what's going to happen? You're going to see some creativity and some flexibility that you never thought you would see. Suddenly, countries that thought, okay, we can offer this, but that's as far as we're going to go,
Suddenly they're going to get flexible because the last thing they want is the United States to set up a giant military base right in the middle of their business and have a dominant role in controlling the shipping in the region. Because Gaza, if they build a little portal, I guess they'd have to build an artificial island and then turn it into like a harbor.
but it could be the controlling place for a huge amount of trade through the area. So do you think that the Islamic countries, whether they're allies or not, do you think any of them want that? No. So let me say it again. Trump ended the war. The war is over because they need a common border. for that Hamas versus Israel thing to continue into the future. He just took away their common border.

Chapter 8: How does Trump's Gaza proposal change the political landscape?
So we might end up with the best possible situation, but I want to be clear about this. It's not a bluff. It's not a bluff. Trump would do it if they don't come up with a better idea. I'll bet they'll come up with a better idea, which they never would have before. So we'll see. All right.
So the things we're learning about USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, which is another one of these alleged CIA cutouts that the U.S. uses to control other countries and run coups and do, what do you call it? capacity building in other countries, which is getting kind of a foothold in other countries in some entities within those countries so that we could have some future control.
As you know, the only reason we know about this is that Mike Benz has been explaining it for a while, but then Doge got in there and started looking at USAID and all the things it's doing and decided, oh no, it's a ball of worms, as it Elon Musk says. And although it might be doing some things we like, we're going to have to close down the whole thing.
And then if there's a good argument for adding anything back, they're open to listening to it. But the only way to fix it is you just got to get rid of the ball of worms and then see if you can find a little bit of apple later. So here are the things we know. Yeah, and Mike Benz says, when a job is too dirty for the CIA, they give it to USAID. So here's what you need to know.
The Mike Benz take on USAID is it's not a mixture of bad things, like overthrowing countries, with a mixture of good things, like helping countries battle the AIDS crisis in their own country. What it is, is in every case, a CIA takeover of a country. Sometimes they help them with the AIDS, but that's really just the easiest way to get our assets into their country.
So it's really about maybe collecting some information through the AIDS process, maybe using it to get some spies in there so they can work their thing once they're behind the, on the other side of the border. So the Ben's take, which I accept, is that there's no such thing as USAID just doing charity. All the charity is a cover for something that the U.S. wants.
So in some sense, USAID is doing the bidding of the United States, except who in the United States? It kind of matters whose bidding they're doing, right? So if it's not Trump's bidding... Should they be doing anything? So at the moment, USAID looks like just a weapon that we use against other countries. And what we've learned about how they do it is the fun part.
So I'm going to tell you what to look for if you thought that USAID and the CIA were trying to take control of your country. So here are the telltale signs. So if you're in another country and you see this happening, you should say, whoa, whoa, red flag. This looks like a takeover of our country. Ready?
Number one, usually the takeover has to do with getting rid of a populist because a populist is not a puppet. And if we're going to try to control some smaller country, we want to get a puppet in there. So the existence of a populist is usually a trigger for the other things. And if the result is a puppet, then probably there was this undercover effort.
