And we brought in 30 million people who were impoverished the last 30 years from south of the border. Okay. Everybody knows that millions of people are dependent as their only source of income and their only source of health care. Everybody knows there's massive fraud and abuse. So when Elon Musk looks at that, he has two warning signs. Number one.

If you mention the word, I'm going to have to cut Medicare or Medi-Cal, under any circumstances, you're going to get a blowback that has not happened on any other. USAID, EPA, no problem. Defense to budget, go to it, Elon. But those people do not want to even hear it. Once Dan Raskowski, the Republican... majority leader mentioned cutting Social Security, but also Medicare.

He was swarmed by his car. They went after him. On the other hand, that's where a lot of the abuse is. So it's kind of a lose-lose situation.

As far as the measles epidemic,

As far as the measles epidemic,
The problem with measles was always, it was, I had measles. We used to call it the German measles, the three-day measles, the red measles. But we all had it when we were growing up. In most cases, it was not dangerous. I think that, and people, please look this up, but I'm pretty sure it was about 500 deaths per year, about 50,000 cases.

The problem with it, with measles, of course, is if a woman is pregnant and has measles, it is one of the And I had a sister, Georgia Ann Hansen, who died, I think, at two years old. And my mother had German, what they call German measles, and she was born blind with heart defects. So it's a very, it's a, and it's a, it's a treatable disease. So we have been vaccinated.

In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of parents who do not trust any vaccinations and their children are not allowed in most states in the public school system.

I think that's too high.
