And that's it.

We're going to begin with an item from your tax dollars at work department.

You are not going to believe this. The U.S. Treasury last week announced the latest recipients

of what they call the capital project fund. Sounds good. This past week, they sent a combined

$354.9 million to the state of Arizona. Yes, I love that. I'm from Arizona.

I live in Arizona, Tennessee and Wyoming. This is great. It's going to bring internet access to rural

and underserved areas using fiber cables. Hmm. How profound. In Arizona, 127,000 households and businesses, they're going to get invest, let's see, $99.4 million. So that's $800 a person to get them Internet access. In Tennessee, they were approved to receive $185 million for, they call a high-speed internet infrastructure cables, which the state

estimates will connect 50,000 people.

That's at a cost of $3,700 per person.

But wait, there's Wyoming.

Remember, big state, Wyoming, $70.5 million, which they say will connect 11,700 households

to the tune of $6,025 per household to get them internet access. I think that's fabulous. Everybody

should have an internet connection, but hasn't anyone there in Washington heard of Starlink that the government has already given hundreds of millions of dollars for?

I mean, we're getting like high-speed internet access to users around the world using a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites?

We're not cable people anymore. We don't need this.

Let's start using the satellites.

Let's do that.

Wow, you know what we should do to all these people

who soak up government money and they don't work for it?
