The worst thing in the world that you can do is to be a joke and not know it.
To go out and not be Aware of the fact that you're a joke or that you're in a different time frame or maybe you're in a time lock or maybe you think that vaudeville is still important.
I don't know what the word is, but there's nothing worse than not getting the memo.
Better to be ahead of the game.
Better to be breaking the rules in that respect.
But when you Find yourself in the position of wearing out your welcome.
That's CNN.
And this Caitlin Collins, I don't think anybody has ever told her.
There's a weird kind of an ambivalence.
Nobody, very few people, by the way, I don't, the only way I ever even come into contact with her is if her name is in some kind of rotation or she's in some kind of, I don't know what the hell you want to call it, X or Twitter or YouTube or whatever.
I don't watch CNN.
I couldn't tell you.
Scott Jennings, maybe?
I would be, I don't want to say this, but If I told you what I don't watch, it's everything.
I am not the person, I am not the audience.
Believe me, I don't like anything.
I mean, I don't dislike it, I just don't have any feelings of, oh, that's good, I want to see that again.
It's a joke.
News today is a joke.
I'm finding...
I'm trying to find something that's just even interesting.
Forget informative.
Just interesting.
Something that doesn't bore me.
I get bored very easily, as you've probably been able to tell.
So this Caitlin Collins comes along.
She's like 33 or whatever.
I don't think anybody...
I don't think she's a bad person, but nobody is explaining to her.
First and foremost, I want you to understand something.
Your countenance.
Your appearance.
I don't mean your looks.
I don't mean your beauty, pulchritude, none of that stuff.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about your attitude.
She is smug, mean, dismissive.
There's a wonderful word in West Tampa, sabelo todo.
It's a know-it-all.
Or an ultra-crepidarian.
She is, she's not noetic.
There's no, there's nothing.
She comes across as this, I'm sorry, turn the punch bowl, this disruptor.
It's like, oh, what's she going to say now?
Trump has absolute contempt for her, which is not admittedly a rare thing.
So the other day, listen to this.
First and foremost, you have to maintain some kind, some semblance, something of respectability.
And what that means is simply this.
If you're going to ask a stupid question, and you know it's stupid, but you have to ask it, try something like this.
What do you say to those detractors who?
What do you say to the...
It's not like me.
I'm not saying it.
But understand the premise.
Trump is with the president of El Salvador or whatever.
By the way, he's got a very unique kind of a gangster.
You know, the black look.
He reminds me of Michael Corleone's...
Remember his bodyguard?
And Godfather II, the one who never said anything.
By the way, who I think was a, it's like a Romanian sculptor, this great artist who plays this killer.
But I digress.
So they asked the question, the Supreme Court, now understand, let's just explain something.
MS-13 dude is shipped out of the country because we think he's an MS-13 Dude.
A bad person.
A criminal.
A dangerous person.
Something along those lines.
We think he is a bad guy.
Okay?
So we take him and we throw his ass out.
Whether we throw his ass out and leave him on the downtown Caracas or in a prison.
I don't know.
But he's out.
He's out the door.
Illegal.
Okay?
And he's out the door.
He had no business being here.
He may have certain limited constitutional rights because many of the provisions of the Constitution refer to persons, not citizens, but I digress.
So we throw his ass out.
It's moot.
He's gone.
It's like when somebody dies.
Somebody dies in a case.
You file a suggestion of death.
I know it sounds kind of funny, but that's it.
He's done.
He's through.
He's finished.
He's out.
He's out the door.
Period.
Done.
Gone.
Finished.
He's through.
So the Supreme Court, or rules upon the case, I think it was a district court, that said, bring him back.
What?
I mean, I'm thinking, what?
Bring him back.
You have to bring him back.
Who brings him back?
The people who have him.
That's El Salvador or whoever.
And they said, what?
We have to return him back to you?
Trump says, I don't want him back.
Again, foreign countries says, no, no, your Supreme Court, which has no jurisdiction in my country, I don't have to respond to them.
Your district court says for me to bring...
I mean, the whole thing is preposterous.
It makes no sense.
It would be like the El Salvadoran Supreme Court ordering us to do something.
I mean, it's crazy.
None of it makes any sense.
So this Caitlin Collins decides, I'm going to die on this issue.
I'm going to throw myself at it.
And she runs into the buzzsaw, Stephen Miller, who is a killer.
There you go.
Stephen Miller is a killer.
He just lets her have it.
Even Pam Bondi tried.
I think Pam doesn't have that killer instinct.
Stephen Miller...
It's just a, he's a barbarian.
I love him.
He's like a, he's the haku of professional wrestling.
Alright, in any event, in any event, so there she is in the White House asking the most stupid question, which she seems to be merely a Democratic contrarian.
She lost whatever little bit of, I don't know, self-esteem, validity.
It's gone.
Gone.
It's like when people don't realize.
It's like that stupid Blue Horizon.
Doesn't it sound like a toilet bowl cleaner or something?
Don't you like it?
You put a couple of tablets of...
Is that the name of it?
Blue Horizon?
Whatever that Amazon...
Huh?
Oh, Blue Origins.
Okay, strike that.
Sounds like a feminine product.
I don't know what it sounds like.
Anyway, they don't even know how stupid that is.
Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez.
I know I'm digressing.
They don't understand.
You're a fucking joke.
Everybody knows it.
But you don't know it.
And Caitlin Collins, CNN, they don't understand.
They're being railroaded.
You know that pretty soon we're going to lose NPR and PBS?
Thank God.
They don't see it.
So what do they do instead?
They go to Coachella and bring out this relic, Bernie Sanders, who's nothing but a traitor to his cause, and AOC, who's a joke.
The left, these people, don't understand it's a joke.
You are a joke.
And I don't mean a joke in a good way.
Here's the worst part.
SNL...
It's a joke, too, but not the way they try to be.
They are parodies of themselves.
So Caitlin Collins has to go back and say, did anybody say, Ms. Collins, do you really believe that a federal court, a federal district court, has any jurisdiction to tell To tell a foreign country anything?
Are you upset that this gang criminal who's done horrible things, do you really mean that?
Or do you just think you're just out there to be obstreperous or obstructionist or consumacious?
Are you the fly in the ointment, the turd in the punch bowl?
Pain in the neck.
Because you're doing a very good job.
Because you're becoming a joke.
Because remember something.
When the CNN thing is done, you always got to think, what is your legacy?
Oh, that's Caitlin Collins.
You're not going to go into modeling.
You're not going to go into comedy.
You're not going to go into sketch comedy.
You're not going to go into anchoring.
You have...
I mean, there's...
I don't even know.
At least...
At least people used to watch Joy Reid just to see, you know, maybe what hairstyle she's wearing.
They watch you and they're feeling nothing, but they're not feeling good about this.
You don't understand this.
This is your career and you're letting this happen.
Why does the left not understand something?
Why didn't Lawrence Angeles and Gayle King and those stupid memes?
They're memed and trolled.
They honestly, if they look at you, they say, what are you talking about?
They say, you're a joke!
You're a joke!
They're laughing at you.
Even late night is laughing.
Who is it?
Jimmy Kimmel or somebody said NASA called?
They want their dignity back?
You don't even know what you did!
You don't even understand that you are so...
You're in this vacuum chamber, this world, this part of society.
That doesn't connect with reality.
You just don't get it.
And it's unbelievable.
So, listen, don't tell this Caitlin Collins.
Don't tell her anything.
Please.
They keep sending her back.
And I'll bet you anything there's some idiot at CNN who says, well, at least they're watching.
At least they're watching?
They're laughing at us?
We're becoming the joke?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If she disrobed, they'd be watching even more.
But is that what you want?
Is that the sole criterion?
Look, you don't need me to tell you this.
You don't need me.
Right now, there are people on various platforms, and there is the Joe Rogan in the world who just absolutely positively is destroying everything that was...
I was watching...
This morning, old interviews with Don Hewitt, who was a great producer from 60 Minutes, and Walter Cronkite, and I'm realizing, God, the world you talk about doesn't exist anymore.
It doesn't exist.
So what do you think?
Do you agree with me?
I'm going to list about five questions for you to consider.
Think them over.
Like this video.
Subscribe to the channel.
By the way, subscribe to the channel.
80-something percent of the people who watch this video do not subscribe.
I do not understand why.
So watch this.
Join me in the mocking derision of these people.
But don't tell them.
Because they provide me with so much fun.
The chance to watch them in this stupidity.
So dear friend, I ask, beseech, import you and beg and entreat you to comment as you.
