And we're back, folks. It looks like Jim from sales just got in from his client lunch and he's got receipts. His next meeting is in two minutes.

That's how much a Minecraft movie made in its opening weekend, the biggest video game film opening ever. Ed, a rabbi, a priest, and a stripper walk into a bar. What does the bartender say? What? I don't know, but Donald Trump is a fucking idiot.
I just made that up. I'm proud of that. That's good. That'll get the people going. And for those of you who think I have Trump derangement syndrome, I have this thing called capitalism and democracy addiction syndrome. I really love Netflix and I love... you know, living somewhere nice. And I love rule of law. And I love people who make smart decisions and prosperity. I'm just so into this whole prosperity and rights thing. And I've gotten so used to it. So Megyn Kelly is super easy to find. If you're looking for people to justify, like say he's playing 4D chess, right? No, he's not even playing fucking Jenga or checkers. He's playing Russian roulette. with everyone's prosperity. I am in a bad mood today, Ed. I can tell.
It is interesting how all these, I mean, the response to any criticism has always been Trump derangement syndrome. And I've said, you know, I think probably a month ago that there's a new syndrome, which is TDSDS, which is Trump derangement syndrome, derangement syndrome, where you basically ascribe any criticism of the government as a symptom of Trump derangement syndrome. It is funny, this week I have not been hearing any accusations of TDS. I think people have finally gotten it through their heads that that's not really a valid argument you can make anymore. So we'll be getting into all of it today and all of the arguments that the other side has been making as to why any of this could possibly make sense. A few notes from me.
