Goodbye, Gulf of Mexico. Welcome, Gulf of America. For comparison, Biden signed nine executive orders on day one. Trump in 2017 signed one. Obama signed zero in 2013 and two in 2009. So 26 is eager. And that wasn't all. He also announced Stargate, gave TikTok a second life, pardoned 1,500 January 6th rioters, including violent ones who attacked police and pulled out of the Paris climate agreement.

The world today, as you know, is confusing, chaotic, unpredictable, bizarre, times scary, at other times just absurd. But chances are, whatever crisis is currently blowing up your phone, it's probably happened before, or at least a version of it. And there's so much we can learn from looking to the past. Thank you so much for having me. Before there was Russiagate, there was the Red Scare.

Okay, guys, let's dive right in. Last week, J.D. Vance, before he was inaugurated as vice president of the United States, he did an interview on Fox that a lot of people paid attention to because he was asked about pardons for the January 6th rioters. And he was very clear. He said, if you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned.
