Good riddance and don't come back. I'm Greg Corumbus, inviting you to join Jim Garrity of National Review and me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast. We'll give you the top news, some good laughs, and we'll be done in 30 minutes. Follow the 3Martini Lunch on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Did you know not all batteries are the same?
For example, only Duracell batteries are built different with power boost ingredients. And Duracell are the only batteries that make this sound every time you say power boost ingredients. See? Duracell batteries with power boost ingredients. You try.
There are some better in the top with ingredients. Told ya, Duracell batteries are built different with power boost ingredients. And they're built right here in the USA with US and global parts. All right, guys, this is not a win for Republicans who are challenging this. Mississippi has a state law which allows ballots to be counted, mail-in ballots after Election Day.
If they come in, they're postmarked, and meet the state requirements, but is a 5-4 loss for Republicans. And an interesting cobbling together of who wrote on this. Justice Barrett wrote the opinion. Justice Roberts joined her along with Justices Sodomire, Kagan, and Jackson.
So those five stuck together on this. The dissent comes from Justice Alito. Thomas Gorsuch and Kavanaugh join him. And essentially what the majority said is that these federal statutes setting election day don't prescribe or they don't stand in conflict with states that want to say, okay, we have a procedure to count ballots after election day. Justice Alito, writing for the dissent, says, today's decision is inconsistent with the terms of the Election Day statutes, contemporary election law principles, two centuries of historical practice, and the case law on the question presented.
So if you're a state out there, That counts ballots after election day based on your state law, that state law will stand. We wait on more opinions. It's SCOTA season, so we have a number of decisions. to unpack. And a lot of it has to I mean we've got voting, we've got immigration, and some of the decisions are I mean, Kane and I were just kind of having words.
I'm surprised that some of them were this close. It's it's it's It's pretty stunning.
So, we're going to unpack that. That was some of the analysis that you heard. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash here with you. And we're going to get you set up.
Fort Willett's. It's Fourth of July Eve. kind of. Independence Day Eve. We're getting close.
I mean, half of you are drunk by the pool. Let's be honest. No, you know they are. The moment that you start seeing cable news hosts out, you're like, people are drunk by the pool. That's just what it is.
This is how it works.
So, welcome to the show. This. The Supreme Court, I mean, we still have some decisions still, and I'll also touch onto that. Because we still have some of those. This is a very busy SCOTUS season.
And um I Again, prayers for the little reporters that have to run all the way because they can't have. Any kind of audio capability in there, so they literally have to run all the way around the Supreme Court in. 100 degree superhumidity temperature, which is, I feel so bad for those people.
So, the immigration policy, the birthright citizenship, I mean, we've got all kinds of opinions that they've been handing down from this term. And so, there's, I mean, this is, you know, you got transgender athlete bands, campaign finance, you got. What am I missing? I mean, there's a lot of stuff.
So the SCOTUS also is determining, I mean, because we've got a couple of things left to determine, including transgender bias and birthright citizenship, right? And then, of course, there was, let me pull some of this other stuff, let me get my notes up. They also, with some of this other stuff that we have as it pertains to. Um I'm just I'm surprised that in the Federal Reserve. These are two that I'm like, what?
So the mail-in ballots.
So let's, I guess, let's start there because that's. One that I know everybody has been following, I think maybe closer than some of these other decisions.
So the court ruled 5-4 to allow state voting laws to permit. The counting of mail in ballots.
Now, here's, I don't understand this decision.
Now, a lot of this stuff just passed down this morning.
So, yours truly, I'm only going to offer what I can at the moment. We just don't have the capacity to go through all these decisions right before air. I'll have more of this tomorrow. And what I'll end up doing is probably writing something up quickly over at chapter and verse over at Substack so you have a little bit of an idea once I have. Once I'm off air and I'm able to analyze it more.
But what we understand. is that It's a I mean 5-4 decision. Which I'm trying to wrap my head around because I actually wasn't anticipating that.
So they're allowing the state voting laws that allow the inclusion of these mail-in ballots to continue.
Now, I'm trying, my confusion. comes from The understanding of federal legislation. and how going by federal legislation with this Is not a compromise of states' rights, which I feel like the people who are arguing. for the mail-in ballots. I feel like they were the ones that were really trying to push that.
And so all of these, they can arrive. after election day.
Now, the caveat. That's supposed to be the comforting factor for you is that they just have to be postmarked. In time, right? They have to be postmarked as being I think by or before election day.
Well, that's kind of a problem because you're still I mean there's I just don't see that there if you your lack of planning and getting your stuff on time is not does not constitute an emergency on our part. And I I mean, I this really just shocks me.
So they can still be included.
Now I also hear, and I understand, and I actually don't disagree with that. If they're going to sit here and allow mail-in ballots, then I think Republicans need to game the hell out of this system to the point. where Democrats don't want it anymore. And that's, I mean, now I will say that's something that. Amy Coney Barrett has suggested.
And Ron DeSantis she had made mention of that once before and like an aside in a speech. Governor Ron DeSantis really pushed that. He actually got some criticism from some Republicans because he was saying, well, if that's what we're going to do, then let's just go ahead and stuff the things. I'm all for that.
So they ruled 5-4, states can count all the mail-in stuff. Absentee, if it arrives after election day, it has to be, the post stamp has to be. On Election Day or before Election Day.
Now, this was a suit that was brought forward by the RNC, and Justice Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett, wrote the majority decision. And the code has held that the federal election day statutes regulate when voters must make their choice, but not when ballots must be received.
Now, that's the big thing to focus on because that's it. That sounds like that was the ultimate deciding factor. in all of this. Not when now, because the Constitution allows for states to determine to run their own elections. But this is where I I have questions.
And I think maybe because of those questions, I don't know, or maybe because my objections are valid, I disagree in terms of the receipt of said ballots. Because if we're looking at running elections and states can run their elections, we have to have an agreement. amongst all of the states? As to When when you when's the c when is the cutoff date? for these ballots, right?
When is the cutoff date for those ballots? And we talked about this with the J6 stuff. Because I always said I think it was really stupid and myopic. For anyone, either on the right or left, to sit here and act like J6 was about overthrowing the government. That was a narrative.
I think that was a psyop that was floated to confuse people out of the natural checks and balances of the citizenry. Because the objection, and this dovetails into it. wasn't they weren't disputing the results of the election. What they were disputing was the integrity of the ballot. Because remember, coming off the heels of COVID, you had a number of states that used executive authority, which was only supposed to be a temporary grant.
And they were using, by executive authority, I mean the governors in their state. They were bypassing their state constitutions. To reduce ballot integrity by removing things like signature verification and allowing mail-in ballots after certain deadlines, even allowing the absence of postmark on certain envelopes so long as they were deposited in a box that could be collected by election day.
So there were a lot of questions that a lot of people had, and they said, look, before we include these vote totals, we want to verify these ballots. And I think that's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. For instance, look at California. Imagine the insanity with the mayoral race in Los Angeles. Imagine that on a national scale as it relates to congressional or presidential.
Now, imagine in Texas or Oklahoma or Missouri or Florida or wherever you are. Imagine that your state did its job and you got your ballots in, your ballots counted, and you went red. But now let's argue that all of your votes and your choices now are are set to be cancelled. By an inordinate amount of votes for blue coming from, let's say, California. And California, with the absence of ballot integrity, signature matching, postmark, all of the things that they have done to erode protection of the vote, now threatens your vote.
Now you understand why people were objecting during J6, because they were arguing, and they had every right to argue this. Pennsylvania and Georgia, particularly. had completely whittled down their ballot integrity to a questionable level. If you had brought that as an evidentiary standard in the courtroom, it would have been tossed out. There were literally ballot boxes that were being stuffed without ballots that had po with ballots that had post no postmarks.
And there were arguments about whether or not to include them.
Now, it becomes a national issue. and I feel goes beyond that of state regulation when it when it threatens to cancel out your vote, where you did your due duty as a citizen and you made sure that ballot protections were in place.
So, other states, they're allowed to remove their ballot protections, and you're just supposed to take their word for it. Do you take New York's word for it? Do you take California's word for it? This is not a failure of the system. This is how we are doing it, is how the system is to work.
So I have serious questions. I'm stunned by this. I mean, this was, and by the way. Uh the New York Times, let me pull this up. The New York Times acted like they didn't think that this was going to go well.
They thought they were going to lose this case. This was a piece that they had written. I mean, this was just a couple of weeks ago, or sorry, a couple of months ago. They thought this was a done deal. I and it wasn't clearly.

So, this is a crazy story that Cain found. Listen to this headline. Man dies of heart attack while dumping. The body of his girlfriend that he strangled to death. I mean, you want to talk about like instant justice?
So this was in Alabama, a guy who strangled his girlfriend to death. Had a heart attack while he was trying to dump her body in the woods. Daniel Robbins, 44 of Georgia, killed his girlfriend Jessica Folds of Alabama in June. And according to the Fifth Judicial Circuit DA, Mike Segrest. He said their bodies were right there together.
He died of a heart attack while. doing it. Dumping our body and trying to hide it there. They found them on June 10th because sheriff's deputies were called because somebody first saw an abandoned vehicle. They had no idea that there were bodies there.
They just saw a car in the woods. And so when the deputies arrived, they checked the car. And then they found. The deceased female and deceased male in a wooded area near the vehicle. And they said it was clear that she was strangled.
And it was clear that he was attempting to dispose of the body in a remote location. By the way, when they arrived, the vehicle was still running. That was still running. And apparently, how long does a car on a full tank of gas? How long will a car run?
question probably a full day. Because they don't know actually I mean The car apparently, I guess it had been there for a while. I was reading another, I pulled up another piece about this. Yeah.
So they said that The Area where they were was kind of near a dump site.
So it looked like that's where he was going with it. But the person who reported the truck said they also thought what they saw were, they also saw what they thought may have been bodies, but they thought they were mannequins. That story is crazy. Wow. Instant, so there's instant justice.
Uh let's see. Um oof. Where do we go? Where do we go? Where do we go?
There's a couple that I want here. Oh, yeah. There's a giraffe. that escaped in Texas named Gracie. Nobody can find this thing.
Although they did get, didn't they get sight of her on drone? No, they found her. Oh, did they find her?
Okay. Texas Hill Country. Texas, a three-year-old Gracie. She was missing for two weeks. She escaped Cedar Hollow Ranch in Texas Hill Country and was just running out, living her best life.
They had a $5,000 reward at the table. on the table. They said the giraffe is about the height of a tree, hadn't turned up. In other news, we have giraffes in Texas. Oh, yeah, we do.
One time, Chris and I were on our way to Houston and we were driving down the highway, and he was like, Abby damn, that's a giraffe. And I was like, No, it's not. Yeah, it was. It was literally a giraffe because there was an exotic ranch right there on the side of the highway. It's crazy.
We have a lot more on the way as we move. Our partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends over at Ghostbed. I love my. My bed is awesome, and I'm not saying this because they're advertising on the show.

It's a thousand degrees here. That's why we're literally in the pit of hell broadcasting. The horrors persist, and so must do we. We've been discussing Iran, MOU, and of course, you have to keep a wiry eye on China because now, apparently, this is somewhat terrifying. Uh apparently they are matching.
Anthropic and cybersecurity. And some are saying that this is resetting the AI race. There's been a hearing here in the U.S. about China trying to undercut the United States' strength in more ways than one. Joining us on this and a whole host of issues is our very dear friend, Mr.
Stephen Yates, who you know as an expert on all things China, really all things foreign policy. He worked in two different administrations, wanted him in their administration to advise them on this. And of course, he's a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation on X as Steve Yates. Good to see you, my friend. This is concerning because I know the future, and we've talked about the.
Propaganda about data centers and all of this stuff before, but this is the first that I'm hearing where they're making big gains in terms of. Like Basically, matching us with cybersecurity. What does this mean? Like, for the average person who's reading this and is already wary of China, what does this mean? Break this down.
Well, there's technology is going in leaps and bounds, and even just how we compute things is going through a bit of a revolutionary period. And may basically put it in, I think, somewhat colloquial terms. If you think of how we programmed and computed things in my generation growing up, you ended up with a series of digits, ones or zeros. They could be either in punch cards, where there's a little hole in a card or a filled space in a card. Later, we got a little bit more sophisticated than punch cards that filled up giant rooms full of computers.
And it was just data on chips that could have ones or zeros, but it's still that basic level of computing. You either had something that was on or it was off, and huge sets of that data to compute with. And over time, they started looking at how to apply theories of quantum physics. To how we compute things. And it opened up a whole different range of ways to compute.
It made it so that it could be much, much more productive. And there are others far better than I can that can give a colloquial version of what quantum physics really means. But what it does is it's just a whole different level of being able to, I think, come up with algorithms. If you think of the passwords you try to make, it can make much, much more complex forms of encryption and decryption. But when you add in artificial intelligence, plus you add quantum computing, what it does is it means you have to have like a password that would have like a trillion digits in it if you wanted to block one of these models from relatively quickly being able to crack your code.
And if you, so there's two sides of it: one is the offensive side of it, where if you apply Quantum and post-quantum computing to breaking into systems, you have a much more capable way to compromise your opponent. China is definitely working on that to compromise us, government and civilian institutions. But then, when you're trying to think defensively, you have to apply these same principles of engineering and physics to cybersecurity. And so, when you're looking at do you need these big data centers, do you need these data sets? Do you need to make sure that the layers of your supposed tech stack are closed environment or open environment, open environment being more exposed?
They're just at a layer of sophistication now where you can't afford to just sit and think, well, we have two oceans protecting us, and somehow at distance, these threats can be dealt with by just regional actors. We have global powers using global tech. And for me, it makes it so it makes clear the imperative why we must win the space race, because that is the domain where this competition, I think, is going to be won or lost for civilization on this planet.
So cybersecurity is right in the middle of all that. You can't have a secure bank account. You can't have a secure Department of War. You can't have secure communication systems between your advanced fighter jets and their bases if you don't win the encryption, decryption, cybersecurity race. Wow.
And this is this.
So this makes sense then with the executive orders that POTUS announced last week about quantum computing because he announced major U.S. investments. There are two orders. It's all about accelerating research. And I guess like securing and further establishing the infrastructure nationally to that point, because they see this coming.
Very much so. I mean everything from our power grids To financial systems and anything that could send a panic through American society that's vulnerable to just password protection. That it's going to be relevant to all this. And it really also comes down to fundamental questions that we're making about education, qualification for work, what kind of certifications and trainings ordinary people ought to get. I mean, I have a completely worthless degree, my grandfather told me, in Chinese language and literature as an undergraduate.
But over the years, I went into government and I got some computer training, by no means cutting edge on these kinds of things we talk about now. But I sort of believe in lifelong learning. And if it turns out someday no one wants to hear my opinion on radio or television, I'm going to have to make a living doing something else.
So I want to be smart enough to join the entry-level applicants for these other kinds of jobs. But I actually think it's important to learn some of these things. But the quantum, the science, mathematics, and sort of the other skills necessary. To understand this, we've got to get ourselves more into this tech space and sort of the physical science space, and not just sit back and think that we can be masters of diversity and inclusion or history and literature and expect that we're not going to fall victim to much, much more aggressive with science as a kinetic part of their attack on us kinds of countries. We're talking with our good friend Stephen Yates at Steve Yates on X.
This really I hate to say it, and I'm even more worried about hearing your answer because you and I have talked before about the data center stuff. And we've talked on air, all of these different commencement speakers, whenever they mention AI, the college grads boo them, the high school grads boo them. There was a survey that was taken showing, I think it's Zoomers down.
So it's Gen Z and younger that hate AI. They're suspicious of it. They hate it. They're some of the biggest opposition, the biggest opponents to it. I feel like we are not doing enough nationally as a nation to protect our national security going into the future because we have all of these generations, and my kids are like this.
My kids are like this. They think all of this stuff is bad. We just got to get out of it altogether. But then, when we do that, contrary to what POTUS is doing, then we would just leave all of this open to China, who would have this huge advantage over us, going into a digital future where they would absolutely control everything and be able to just waylay us security wise. Right.
It's he who has the commanding heights commands everything. And so there isn't an opt-out option. We have to win. We have to be the one that sets the standards. Really, with due respect to anyone who feels differently, everyone's welcome to their opinion.
It just turns out the world isn't run just on opinions. It's run on power and control, too. And if we want to be able to understand what's coming at us, we have to understand these kinds of things. And if we want to compete and out-compete those that don't seek to do us well, we have to get into this area. But it fundamentally comes down to how motivated are you to think for yourself, to calculate and compute things for yourself.
And in an odd way, learning how to understand and use AI as a tool is still thinking for yourself. It's learning how to control this, sort of like how you control a horse that's pulling a buggy or how you control a car that's racing down a highway. And so you don't have to always know how to build the car, but you should. Know how to operate it safely and to come up with some sensible guardrails for what the public commons are going to be so that people aren't driving that car through your living room or your bank account. And so, there's, I think, some elements of the younger generation, and I can just put my old man hat on for this.
They're lazy. They don't think for themselves. They think in PACs. They let the PAC think for them. They go ahead and let AI and an algorithm think for them and think that they're being independent or standing out when really they're being a part of a pack.
I think the people who are really prepared for independent thought and true independence and freedoms, dare we say in the 250th year of our independence, those are the ones that need to be the ones at the frontier winning this race. And ultimately, this technology can empower that if it's done the right way. I love that the point that you're making there, too, is that they think that their opposition is an original thought when actually it's not. It's all a psychot that they've been algorithmically trained into buying. And that's the whole reason.
They even think that the way they do is because China planted that in their head. China and even worse, the China enablers. Those that love to put the filthy lucre in their pocket, build up their own platforms and ego systems. But basically, they're enabling a Chinese advantage in the world. And basically, trying to convince us, don't even bother to compete.
Just accept your new overlord. And I just don't operate that way. No.
Well, I'm more glad that you don't operate that way. One last thing before we let you go. You're always so generous with your time with us. The latest with Iran.
So. I kind of feel like this is sort of a rinse and repeat cycle. Everybody behaves themselves through the week, and then Friday comes, the markets close, and then all of a sudden rockets start going back and forth, and ceasefires are violated, and then we retaliate. And then, oh no, we're back in the ceasefire again going into Sunday evening, Monday morning. Where do we stand with us?
Okay. Well, so there's a few different layers to this that really, really matter. Put it most simply, I think in terms of a military matter, we are dealing with a localized and regional threat, less of a global threat, because we have monumentally degraded their nuclear capabilities. We've monumentally degraded their long-term, long-range reach by way of their missiles and other things. And we've, in some ways, we've degraded their terror tentacles.
It's still a problem and there's still work to do, but it's really more of a regional matter at this point. It still matters to American interests, and global markets are associated with it.
So it still affects us and others, but it's a much degraded threat. And I think it's frustrating to people because they can see that basically a geostrategic gnat is pulling a giant elephant around by the snout. And that is not an appealing image when we're the one with the snout. And so we need. We have work that has to get finished, whether it's a rinse and repeat.
I always call it Lucy and the football, but then I show my age. Not everyone knows Charlie Brown. But basically, you keep going for the kick and Lucy pulls back the football and Charlie goes flying through the air and we just do it over and over and over. There is this quality to this conflict right now, especially over recent weeks. And the administration has got to break that cycle.
Yeah, absolutely. Stephen Yates at Steve Yates on X. Always appreciate it, my friend. You're so good with your analysis and we're grateful for it. Thank you so much for your time.
Have a good week. Good to see you. Thank you, Dana. Take good care. Of course.
If you're a parent or grandparent, you already know what's going on. Our kids are being flooded with messages about gender ideology, sexuality, and sexual exploitation from social media, Hollywood, and even their own schools, often without parents knowing.
So that's why I'm grateful for the work of Concerned Women for America. For more than four decades, CWA has been fighting for faith, family, freedom, and parental rights, and the protection of our kids. And they're taking the fight to state legislatures, to Congress, and even the Supreme Court to defend our girls and preserve common sense. This Title IX month, CWA has launched its Defend Our Girls campaign. When you give $20 or more, you'll receive one of CWA's educational resources on gender identity or sexual exploitation.

It's time for Florida Man. All right, so uh Yeah. This Florida man decided to literally. I mean, I've heard of like running circles around people, but. Not literally applied.
That happened with this Florida man. A traffic stop in Arcadia, Florida took a weird turn because the passenger decided that the best plan was to get out of the car and try to run away from the cop. And he ended up running around the car to try to get away. And it was all captured on dash cam video. DeSoto County Sheriff's Office said the deputy pulled the car over.
And they noticed the tag was expired since last way long ago. And the guy or the driver told the cop that she was just trying to get. The car to a family member's house.
So she was sighted. She was still on her way. But then the deputy turned his attention to the passenger and he gave a different name. He wouldn't, he wasn't being forthright. Then he gets out of the car and tries to make a break for it.
Eventually the the deputy tackled him and put him into cuffs, but um Why do people think that they're going to get away with that? That's just the dumbest thing ever. Just why. And it also came out that he had a warrant for his arrest as well. Yeah, of course it always happens.
This, uh oh, I'm gonna do this one. I'm just gonna I can't. A Florida man is accused of um Being in the men section at Walmart. Oh boy. And I guess he mistook it for an X rated show and tell.
Uh oh. It was at a Sanford Walmart, and Stanford police say officers responded to multiple calls about a man who is making customers uncomfortable. His name is Tyrese Jackson. He was walking around the store, went into the male clothes section, and then basically britches down and Walking around for everybody to see, and I'm not going to get into some of the other things that he did. But he was arrested and charged with indecent exposure of his sexual copulatory organs, and he was taken to Seminole County jail.

Next time they say that James is trans We're all trance. That hat is way too big for that fellow. When they say James is a gay, tofu eating vegan, We're all gay tofu eating vegans. No, no, no, no, that's not true. That's absolutely not true.
And when they say James is going to hell Yeah, cause he is. We'll say we're all going to hell. What sound bed is this? Let's cut 20. Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, Texas Democrats. And we're going to talk about Ma'am Donnie bearing false witness over the weekend. Texas Democrats are having a real one. First off, can we just Um The hat, you're supposed to wear the hat. The hat is not supposed to wear you.
I feel like I'm watching a child play dress up. Because that brim on his hat extended out to the ex like the Length of his shoulders or width of his shoulders. I'm not wrong, right? If it wasn't for his ears, his eyes would have been covered. His that hat is p I mean, that's like one third of his body.
It's like how baby's heads are a third of them. That that dude's hat is a third of his hat. He's legit all hat and no cattle or brains. Uh well, bi Talo Rico is all those things. I mean, well, maybe the gay part, I don't know.
I feel like that lady's a beard. Here's what that means. Does our audience know what a beard means? I think so. It's like, so a gay dude that has a chick hanging around him to give the impression that they're dating so that people don't realize that he's gay.
And I don't even know why that's still a thing in Hollywood for crying out loud. I don't think that that's been a thing since the 60s, quite honestly, but I think they just do it because it's a status. signal But um Oh, and they had a sign language interpreter. Did you catch what it was when they were saying gay and vegan eating and vegan and tofu eating? Because I would like.
I make it a habit to learn those different colorful phrases in various languages and collect it for my own purposes.
So I'm just that's what they that that's like no, I is there anyone sitting in the audience that that went, I'm not actually a a gay tofu eating vegan. No, I'm not I'm none of those things. Tellerico puts himself out there because he's an insufferable Little weasel, that's why. And we're going to have an example of what he did over the weekend, what he and his people did. They lied to people absolutely outright.
What blows the mind is that it's so easy to go out and get videos of things that were said. And then you can look at the claim that people are making and say, no, no, no, that actually didn't happen. Like whenever Tucker Carlson speaks, you can go back and look at all of the stuff he said that he claims he didn't say, which we'll also talk about. Why is it always chaos when we link up? Cause nobody plans anything, bro.

Rome celebrates 80 years of Italy's Vespa, which are the craziest things I have ever seen. And the women driving the Vespas, the women have balls. I watched one time a woman, like, I swear to you, she was going like 50 miles per hour on this Vespa. I didn't even know they could go that fast. And I watched her roll up because stoplights are suggestions.
At a light, and she went in between two vehicles. One was right in front of us. And she just put her legs out on either side and hit both of the cars with her feet and then pushed off literally on her Vespa. And she had this little blue Vespa. And like just went out ahead of everybody when the light immediately when the light changed in both lanes.
I've never seen anything like it. Like, safe driving is a suggestion over there, but they've celebrated now 80 years. Of that thing, I wanted to get a BESPA and ride around Rome. And my husband was like, hell no, never, no. And I'm like, but I feel like I'm at home driving here because you always say I'm an insane driver.
And I feel like this is where I belong and I would fit in real well here. And he, surprisingly, that argument did not move him. As you can imagine. I know, I'm just as shocked as you are, you know. Oh man, another day, another roller coaster stalled, this time at Legoland.
Did a brick fall off? I don't know. Winter Haven firefighters had to evacuate four people from a stalled roller coaster at Legoland. This could have been a Florida demand story, but. It's slightly terrifying.
Uh, they had two adults, two kids, they were on the ride, it experienced an operational stoppage, and they had to get fire crews to go out and evacuate them. Nobody was injured, everybody's okay. San Diego school buys uh new tech as experts are sounding the alarm. It's chat GPT-powered humanoid robots.
