u can do most of it, that would be pretty impressive. So it's all drones. You can have your 3D-printed drone, which is great for terrorists. So if any of you are terrorists, a 3D-printed drone is coming. And there's also going to be all these drone killers now. They've got all these anti-drone systems with missiles and stuff, so you can have drones fighting drones before they even get to us. Wel…

s like the military. The military always has a plan to attack anybody that looks like we might ever want to attack them. So yeah, of course they should definitely plan for what happens if Biden dropped dead during office. So I think there's no controversy there. That's just them doing a good job, I think.

Meanwhile, Secretary Rollins was talking about how she's done a good job. She was on Fox Business saying what a good job she did bringing down egg prices. So egg prices are way down, and she said under Joe Biden egg prices increased 237 percent. But we almost immediately saw the market react to their five-point plan. What was the five-point plan? Part of it was getting eggs from other countries, so that seemed like a good idea.

But as somebody said in the comments when I saw this on X, didn't we all know the egg prices were going to come down just about now? Well, isn't that just if you just figure out when all the chickens were killed because of the fear of bird flu or whatever it was? All you have to do is say, all right, how long does it take a chicken to grow until it can have its own eggs? And then you could just look on the calendar and say, well, looks like this would be the time that the egg prices would come down, and it would be around now, right?

So one of the great things about being in power, whatever administration is in power, whoever was going to be in power for the next four years was definitely going to see the egg prices go down. That was just a free pass. You just had to be in power and your egg prices would come down. Now, I do think that they were more active than just waiting for them to come down, but I do give them credit for that. The getting the eggs from Turkey and South Korea and wherever else, that seemed to have worked. So good job on that, Trump administration.

So the Trump administration is cracking down more on the colleges and universities doing DEI. Now they're looking at Stanford and some of the UC schools like UC Berkeley and UCLA and UC Irvine. Apparently they still have alleged race-based admission practices. Do you thi

nk you could drive the DEI out of Berkeley? That would be the ultimate test. I feel like the Berkeley-ites would die before they gave up on their entire woke agenda. So we'll see. And Pam Bondi, AG, says that the goal is clear: to end illegal discrimination and to restore merit. So good. And of course, you know, there was a lot of pressure on Columbia for I think it was not just DEI but making su…
