This is John Batchelor. Good evening. The show begins tonight in Las Vegas with Jeff Bliss.

The Vegas report includes F1, Formula One Racing, the Grand Prix of Las Vegas, now the centerpiece of a marketing campaign global that will also describe itself as Disneyification. A child of three gets a doll of Mickey Mouse.

A child of 33 takes his and her children to Disney World at Disneyland. A child of 73 attends

Disneyland as well. So all that works for Formula One, a car at three, a movie at 33, and a visit to the race in Las Vegas at 73, or however you want to put it.

Total approach to family life in America, Formula One. Jeff tells me, because he's driven this course, the first year he drove

it on a family car, that it's exciting, it's well done, it's centered by the sphere, and

Formula 1 is exciting to see a rocket on wheels go 200 miles per hour past you. I believe it.

I've never seen them. I don't know the racer's names.

Jeff's going to introduce them to us over the months ahead. The race in Las Vegas will be in the

fall. Part of the worldwide quest for the highest points assembled in the Formula One racing all year long.

I do not know the personalities. Jeff does, but the racing drivers are very exciting.

The fact that they can do this is amazing. Jeff tells me all the controls are on the wheel.

I've seen videos now and again. I don't remember them vividly, but that's superhuman what they do. Good for them.

And then a conversation about energy electricity with Cliff May. We need to generate lots of

electricity going forward, and renewables don't do it. There's not another paragraph.

Tariffs, I speak to John Cochran of the Hoover Institution and an economist about tariffs.

They are not free trade.

And free trade brought us NVIDIA-SML, TSM, AI, and Dreams.

Tariffs did not bring those.

And I vote for the dreams.

California, Bill Well and joins to talk about Gavin Newsom, the governor, before he's left his office,

now making a podcast inviting invoices from the so-called right way.
