lity to avoid, first of all it'll carry a payload. So if you want to carry a bomb or some poison or something, they'll sell you that. You can just buy it off the shelf. Now I mean through the mail, but it's off-the-shelf-ish. And you can even get the kind that if it gets jammed it can turn to visual. So as long as it knows what's supposed to be on the ground, it can thwart the jamming. Yeah, this…

city and attack anything it wants, and then we're going to be in big trouble. So that's where that is.

By the way, some of you have asked, but now this is an audiobook. So you can buy God's Debris, The Complete Works, as an audiobook. So a bunch of you were asking when's the audiobook going to be available. It's available now. So it's not me, but I picked the reader of the book. The reason I couldn't do it is I have too much, I'm just too dyslexic. You know, I think I'm worse than I used to be. I tried to do the audiobook myself, spent some time at the studio, but I can't really read sentences anymore because I can't read them in the order they're written, even if I wrote the sentence. Weirdly, so I was unable to do it just from mental disability. But also you were asking me about the audiobook for my other book, How to Fail Almost Everything and Still Win Big. This is the second edition, not the first edition. This is the one you want. But the audiobook for that is also available. So there's that.

Well, but there's even more danger coming. Apparently China, according to The Register, Chinese satellites are already practicing dog fighting in space, which would be military preparation for a war in space. So it's not theoretical. They're already practicing dog fights in space. But here's the part that just sort of slipped into the story: apparently they already have a refueling station in space. China does, for refueling satellites. Now I don't even know what that means. How do you refuel a satellite? What are you refueling it with? I don't even know what that means. But apparently some kind of refueling satellite thing. So we'll probably be fighting in space before long.

Trump is looking, according to The Hill, Trump is looking to boost the amount of coal energy this country creates. Now you may say to yourself, what, coal? That's dirty and it's old school and you know it's not as good as nuclear. And there are lots of reasons not to use coal. However, as Trump points out, China is building a ton of coal power plants. And if there's one thing I can teach you about economics, it's that whoever has the most energy usually wins for economics. So if the only way you can have enough energy, and it looks like we're going to have a massive energy squeeze with all the AI and everything else, if the only way you can do it is with coal power, even with all the downsides, the pollution, etc., probably it's worth doing.

Now here's the fun part. I think Trump picked exactly the right week to announce this, because it's the week that the left is planning to destroy Tesla as a company. And they're going big on trying to destroy Tesla, which proves they were never serious about climate change. So at the same week that the left has proven that they were never serious about climate change, Trump comes out with the most anti-climate change policy you could ever even imagine, which is, hey, let's build a whole bunch of coal power plants. Now I think Trump says stuff like, you know, clean, beautiful coal. I don't know how clean you can make a coal plant. But I do know if your options are making the atmosphere a little dirtier and having enough energy, you're going to want that. As bad as that is, I mean, you know, I'm not trying to downplay any of the negatives. There's a lot of negatives. But the positives are, unfortunately, in a competitive world, it's going to be necessary. So I'm very grudgingly in favor of this. But I hate it. I hate it, but I understand it.

Well, the JFK files are not completely out, but the ones that are out, it's mostly out. But the ones people look through do not seem to have any bombshells. But let me just give you sort of the things that people are saying about it. So according to Grok, the file so far would be supportive of the single gunman theory. Is that what you think? Do you think that the files so far are supportive of the single shooter? I don't know. I'm not entirely sure that's what it's telling us. I am sure that it's not telling us anybody else did it. So it's not really suggesting somebody else did it, but it's not really supportive of the lone gunman theory. It's more like it's not ruling it out, I guess that would be one of the things.

One of the revelations is that, you already heard this, that one of Kennedy's main trusted advisers, Schlesinger, warned that the CIA was running its own foreign policy. Forty percent of the embassies were CIA, and the Deep State already existed. And he was telling Kennedy that he needs to dismantle it, otherwise basically you've lost your country and that the CIA would be in charge and not long after that Kennedy was assassinated.

We do know there's more information that the CIA had a mafia connection. The connection seems to be related to Cuba, you know, maybe efforts to assassinate Castro. We do know that Oswald was known to be a poor marksman, which sort of suggests he wasn't the shooter. But I think Russia, the Soviet Union, also had been watching him and said he was a poor marksman. And I guess we said he's a poor marksman, so everybody agreed he was a poor marksman.

We know Oswald was being watched by CIA for some good time before the shooting. That's a little suspicious. If you want to go full conspiracy theory, there were a bunch of references to Israeli intelligence that had been long redacted in these files, but now they're unredacted. But they don't say anything that's interesting about Israel. So the only thing that it tell

s us about Israel is that the CIA and Israeli intelligence, I guess they did a lot of work together, which kind of made sense. Somebody said that in the Middle East at that time the Soviet Union had a lot of control over the Arab countries, and the only non-Soviet Union controlled entity was Israel. So we had a tight relationship with them with intelligence. But there's no indication that Israel h…
