Well, we're going to update 2024 numbers for all our studies. And then we've got a liver paper coming out, a muscular skeletal skin paper coming out. And, you know, we're just going to continue to monitor what's going on. And the disability number comes out this Friday, along with the non-reform payroll. So I'm very eager to see what direction it's going.

And it's close to a new all-time high again. So we'll see if we go to a new all-time high on Friday.

Yeah, liver deaths and skin issues, skin deaths, musculoskeletal deaths. On the liver, there definitely was an effect in the older people that we can attribute most likely to the vaccine. It's more money in the younger age, folks, because there was an increase in alcohol consumption during the lockdown. But if you parse the data, we can tease out a signal.

We're going to put the data as it stands and let the chips fall where they may.

The report's not finished. I haven't seen it yet. My partners are working on it, so I don't want to conclude anything right now.

Well, there's two things. There's the stated GDP numbers and establishment non-farm payroll survey, and there's economic reality. Trump got elected in primarily Bobby Kennedy and Elon and everyone who contributed helped, but Trump primarily got elected because of the economy. And In 1980, Ronald Reagan had a real average wage earning growth at minus 2%. He got swept into office.

In 1992, minus 2% for Bill Clinton, and James Carville said, is the economy stupid? And by the way, those two numbers were associated with recessions. Trump, prior to the election, had a minus 2% number. No recession, oddly enough, but I believe one's coming when the truth is revealed.

The government has been spending for the last two years crisis-like deficit spending, meaning in the great financial crisis, we had 10% deficits to GDP. We're at 8% right now. What's the crisis? The crisis was to get Biden or Harris reelected and retain power. That was their crisis.

And they basically, in my estimation, and I've talked to economists offline who won't say this publicly, but they agree with me, they've cooked the books. The non-farm payroll numbers are statistical lies. You've got to remember, when they come out with a number on Friday, it's an estimate, but then it's followed up with real data later.

They keep putting out these fake numbers, then they get revised down. In August, we had a revision of 850,000 jobs down. We have the private sector, every indication of the private sector is that it's contracting. So what did they do? They opened the floodgates for immigrants, gave them STEMIs that helped juice the economy short term. That's part of the deficit.
