Maybe Greg Gutfeld can bring back the old Andy Rooney spot at the end of the show?
Cannot believe he’s in his 30s (less than a year older than me!). Would have guessed 50.NYT profile on Pulte last year:
Housing Official Who Attacked Democrats Invokes a Disputed Family Legacy
“… Mr. Pulte, 37, no longer has any official connection to PulteGroup, which has built 800,000 homes across the country since the 1950s. He was pushed off the company’s board in 2020 after being elected to a seat several times since 2016.
And his family’s $500 million charitable foundation, run by an aunt and his father, issued a statement two years ago saying that “Bill Pulte does not represent, nor is he a spokesperson for, all members of the Pulte family, in any capacity.”
These days, one of Bill Pulte’s primary connections to the residential real estate business is a group of five aging mobile home parks he owns in Florida, some badly in need of repair.
His mobile home park investments were not readily apparent on his financial disclosure form because he listed parent companies but not the subsidiaries used to buy the properties in 2023 and 2024. Two of the trailer parks, in Palm Beach County, are only hours from a site where the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation is spearheading the construction of 179 rental homes for people who live below “the poverty line, often in overcrowded trailers,” according to the foundation’s website.
In a statement, a spokesman for Mr. Pulte said he owned “passive shares” in the mobile homes and had “no oversight or management in any of these companies.” The spokesman said the mobile homes “represent a very small part of his net worth.”…”

I went to high school with dozens of Bill Pultes. Most of them remain stains on civil society.

1,400? Wow. Epstein’s island was only 28 hectares.
Btw I’d like to thank Google for not offering autofill suggestions as I typed into the search box: “How large was Epstein’s…”
