like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's c…

The FBI has raided several homes of the aides of Mayor Adams in New York City, according to Blaze Media. And we don't know why yet, but if the FBI is all over the mayor and all over the top aides, there's something coming down. And keep in mind that it's probably Democrats investigating Democrats, so whatever it is, it must be really bad.
I wonder, does anybody even have a guess what that would be about? I have a hypothesis that if the FBI wanted to jail any mayor in America, it would take about 10 minutes of investigation to find out that they'd done sketchy things with taxpayers' money. So why would they pick this particular one? So my question is, is this the one mayor that they've got some dirt on, or is there something they don't like about this mayor? Was he about to endorse Trump? I mean, what's going on here? There's something that we don't know on top of the something we don't know about what the alleged crimes are. So this story has layers, is what I'm saying.
If the only thing you find out is that there's a crime and somebody's looking into it, I feel like we're going to be missing at least a layer or two, you know what I mean? Because I don't think that they have a process of going after crime because it's a crime. And I told you to watch the show on Netflix called "Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy Wars." It's based on real facts of the real Wyatt Earp and a war with some cowboys. And when you learn that the country has always had a crooked Department of Justice and always had crooked politics and the news was always fake, it really blows your mind to see that nothing changed since the 1800s.
Poland has an anti-tank robot. So it's a robot that goes near a tank and then blows up. I don't think tanks are going to be too useful for very long. And now that we've got flying drones that look like dragons with fire-breathing fire and now a robot that will blow up a tank, I'm guessing that the cost of the robot that blows up the tank is much less than the tank itself. So that'd be the end of tanks.
I saw Tim Cook on some interview saying something that I was not aware of completely, and it goes like this. You think that the reason we do manufacturing in China is because the cost of labor is low.

Turns out that hasn't been true for a long time. I'm sure the cost of labor is lower than America, but there would be other countries where it's even far lower. So they don't go to China because the wages are low, because they could get lower wages in a lot of places. They go there because China has a massive educational advantage in how to build a factory. Because building a factory is its own sp…
