morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization at least since the younger Dryas period before then there were some really good highlights but I can't tell you about them however If you'd like to try to elevate your experience up to levels that no one can understand with their tiny shiny human brains,
all you need is a cupper mug or a glass, a tank of good shells besides a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the joke of being at the end of the day and the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now perfect that's what i'm talking about the good stuff well did you hear what uh trump said about the regressing of
the dc parks Apparently the lawn areas of the parks in DC are kind of worn out.
But I have to read to you the exact words that Trump used to describe that situation.
Now, I laughed until I cried just listening to him talk because nobody does it like he does it.
And I understand why Newslam is trying to mock him because, you know, mockery is always useful.
But you can't mock perfection.
And the thing is, there was a time when making fun of the way Trump spoke kind of made sense because people didn't understand that he was the best communicator in the world and it just looked different.
But we have since learned that whatever the hell it is he's doing is the best communication we've ever seen, certainly from a president.
But let me read to you his exact words about the grass and the parks.
Are you ready?
Let's see if I can do this without laughing before I get to the end.
This is going to be hard.
All right, Trump on the grass and the DC parks.
Quote, I'm very good at grass.
That's as far as I can get.
I'm very good at grass because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place.
All over the place.
I know more about grass than any human being in the world.
We have a life.
Grass has a life.
And the grass here died about 40 years ago.
Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha Now, you tell me that Newsom can copy that.
You can't copy that.
There's only one person in the world who can do this.
Oh, and the lesson from this is that once you've developed a character that is yourself or the character you're writing for, once you have the character, it's so much easier to write humor.
you know, because you just make it compatible with the personality.
Oh my God, I'm very good at grass.
I know more about grass than any human being in the world.
Ah.
Oh, that's just so good.
All right.
So Elon Musk is pointing out that Grock apparently is the best as some kind of benchmark test for prediction.
So the best predicting AI in the world is Grock at the moment.
And Elon Musk points out that Grock is the best at predicting the future, which is the best measure of intelligence in my opinion Elon Musk says now you've probably heard me say that the we don't understand reality you know our brains are not optimized to actually fundamentally understand our reality the closest we can get to knowing what's
real is knowing what predicts so that's not very far from saying that the best measure of intelligence is the ability to predict.
And in the real world, the people who can predict the best definitely do the best there's no doubt about it so yeah I would say the ability to predict is intelligence I think didn't Elon tease that AGI might might show its head in the next version of Grock so Grock might be getting close to something like an advanced general intelligence but not this version might be the next version
we'll see And then there were some very big words used by Elon Musk and another user I'll tell you about.
And I think I know what it means, but let me.
tell you the words they use.
There was a user named Xafriz on X who said that XAI's long-term plan is to be an edge node running AI inference to generate pixels and audio.
more traditional OS or apps but just AI rendering everything directly now But then Elon weighed in, comment on that comment, and he said, it's an easy prediction of where things are headed.
Devices will just be edge nodes for AI inference.
Okay, what's that?
as bandwidth limitations prevent everything being done server side.
Okay.
I believe they're saying, it's funny that he said it's an easy prediction, because he just said the prediction is intelligence.
So what I think it means is that your phone will no longer have an operating system, traditional operating system.
It will no longer have apps.
It will just be AI.
And it will be shrunken.
AI will be able to run mostly on your phone locally.
I think that's what it means.
So how does it do that?
Well, it would take massive changes and everything.
But this is what I predicted for a while now.
You remember me predicting this?
I predicted that your hardware, the hardware of your phone, would become neutral.
And that if I picked it up, it would look at my face and then give me my version of a phone.
And if you picked up the same device right after I handed it to you, it would look at your face and it would become whatever you wanted it to be.
So I think that's what's coming.
Speaking of XAI, a user named B. Stewart, who may be watching right now, used Grock to try to find out which of my books cover the drinking and methods to quit.
Well, the answer is that I mentioned my reframe, the alcohol is poison.
I've mentioned it in two different books, but I don't really talk about it in depth.
So if you're looking to quit alcohol, you don't need the books.
I'd love you to buy them because they're great books, but you don't need them to quit alcohol.
So it's just a reframe.
If you think of alcohol as a hobby or as a beverage, you're going to do more of it.
And if you think of it just even in your own mind, you don't even have to say anything out loud.
If you just think of it as poison, your brain will just steer you away from it.
and it becomes automatic and easy.
So that's my claim and a lot of people have tried it and it worked.
Now, but what did Grot What did Grock say when asked which of my books will teach you how to quit alcohol?
Well, Grock said that I, as the author of those books, had an alcohol problem.
And my books describe how I beat my alcohol problem.
I've never had an alcohol problem.
Grock actually thinks that I'm a recovering alcoholic.
No, I mean, I'm not perfect.
I've got my flaws, but no, I'mve never been an alcoholic.
I've never had a drinking problem.
But if you looked up my books and you prompted the question just right, it would tell you I'm a recovering alcoholic.
But I'm not.
Well, apparently Trump has signed some executive order.
to create what he calls the Chief Design Officer of the United States in a national design studio.
I kind of love that idea.
We'll have to wait to see.
how the execution is and who it is and all that but i do agree with trump that part of the responsibility of the president is to make sure that the country shows well that if somebody visits it it looks good if you're born here you you like it When people think about it, they think positively.
It's leaving the right message about freedom and about opportunity and hope and possibility and all that.
So yeah, I think Trump is way ahead of the average person because he understands persuasion and design is destiny design is persuasion so yeah I like that that if it's done right it doesn't become just a big you know money hole which would be possible if the Democrats were doing this but if you get the right person I like it Well,
Zero Hedge is reporting that U.S. manufacturing activity is unexpectedly higher than it has been since 2022.
So apparently we weren't expecting it to be this good.
But I have to say, I don't believe any economic data anymore.
You know, sometimes I want to believe stuff.
So I'll tell you about it and act happy about it.
And certainly there are reasons to believe that manufacturing should be up a little bit.
You know, I mean, we're trying hard to do that.
And maybe, maybe it's real.
But honestly, when I look at stuff like this, I just say to myself, ah, they'll probably revise it later.
So it's not down.
I'd feel bad if it were down, but I'm not sure I believe it's up.
It might be.
I mean, there's a reason it could be.
Well, speaking of data, Pam Bondi says there's been no murder in DC for a week because of all the federalizing of it and they've surged so many people to help with the policing.
So you've got the feds and you've got the National Guard and everything.
Apparently the murderers took the week off.
You know, I've heard that in the week when there's a big tech trade show in Las Vegas, I don't know if this is true, but it's like one of those funny things people say, that the hookers take the week off because the engineers are really bad customers.
And I've also heard that the cab drivers sometimes will take the week off in Vegas if it's the technical show.
because they think the engineers are bad tippers.
Now, I don't know if either of those things is true, but it reminded me of No Murder in DC for a week.
It makes you wonder if the murderers took the week off.
It's like, you know what?
I was planning a summer vacation anyway.
So I think I'll take a week off for a murder and we'll get back to it.
And once all these people are gone and they think they've solved it, I'll just go back to murdering.
But for now, I'll take a couple weeks off.
All right.
According to DEA administrator Terry Cole, who was on Fox News.
He said that the fentanyl deaths should be way down because Trump is doing such a good job securing the border and capturing the fentanyl at the border and stuff.
Here again, I do not believe any statistics.
And I definitely don't believe that ODs are down because of anything that happened at the border.
And the reason is, there's not a shortage of fentanyl.
It's so easy to make, and it's so small and light and easy to ship that you could catch, I'll just make up a number, but you get the idea.
You could probably stop 90% of it.
It wouldn't make any difference at all.
Because the bad guys would just make so much more of it that the 10% you didn't get, was as big as the 90% that you used to not get.
So, as I mentioned, as long as they can ratchet it up in an unlimited amount and it doesn't really cost them that much when it gets caught you know just some some member of the tribe gets put in jail and you lose some bills, but you just make more.
So I don't know if that makes a difference, but it's better than not doing it.
I think the Narcan will bring down the ODs because the OD deaths are way down anyway, but I don't know if it's because of the border being better managed.
There are lots of reasons to manage the border, but it's mostly human reasons.
You know, we need to control the human beings coming in.
And we should try as hard as we can to stop the fentanyl, but I don't know that the ODs will go down if we do a good job stopping humans.
Well, I read the news today and one of two things is true because I saw a news story that was opposite the other news story.
Either we just, the U.S. just made a incredibly good trade deal with the European Union or that deal was stalled because we don't have agreement on some of the digital free speech stuff.
and the digital rules that they have over there that would be bad for our digital platforms that come from America.
So which is it?
I saw both stories and they both look credible and they both had details so did we just complete a major trade deal with europe or did we think we had it and then we found out there's you know this major sticking point with the digital stuff i can't tell i i asked grock and i got one answer and i looked at the news and i saw two different answers It's one of those things,
right?
So probably it depends which of the articles got written, you know,?
Do we have a deal with Europe or was that stalled and we got excited about it and then it didn't happen?
I don't know.
Maybe we'll know by tomorrow.
But one of the big elements of it, assuming that we'll get this deal one way or the other, we'll get to a deal, a huge part of the EU trade deal is them investing more in our economy.
So part of this would be the deal would wean Europe off of Russia as a supplier.
Now that's important because that's more than just a trade deal.
That would be also moving towards solving the Ukraine war situation by starving Russia of their easiest way to make money.
So we'll see.
We'll see if that European thing, if it's true, it's a pretty big deal.
Well, Peter Navarro, White House trade advisor, was explaining that he doesn't expect Trump to extend the timeline for India to make a trade deal and that his deadlines will kick in and he'll just be doubling the tariff on India.
But part of the reason that the tariff will be super high, tariff on India, is because they're selling or they're buying oil from Russia.
Now, apparently most of what they're buying from Russia is because it's cheap, obviously, but it's so cheap that they're buying more than they're buying more than they need and reselling it which is no bueno so trump is going to penalize them big time with a 50 tariff which includes a 25 penalty for the oil purchases that trump says are coming from russia so
trump's got two more points of leverage on putin one is that europe will buy less and buy more from us.
And the other is that India might become much less of a big market for them if they bow to our economic pressure.
I don't know if they will, but they might.
Well, I made a prediction on X about what would happen with the war, the Ukraine situation, and people got really mad at me.
And I don't exactly know what's behind that.
At first, I thought it was a bunch of Russian trolls, you know, just bots.
that were coming in and just insulting me to make me go away because they didn't like what I said.
But when I accused the commenters of being Russian bots, many of them seemed to be real., you know, because they commented that they were real.
And they're really mad at me.
Just, I didn't know why.
I don't, because it was just an opinion on how things might go.
Why would you get mad at me for that?
And so the comments, well, I'll tell you what I said, and then I'll tell you the comments.
So my post on X was that when...
In other words, I'm predicting that Putin does not have good intentions for solving the war anytime soon and that he's just stalling yet again.
And I said that when Trump turns on Putin and he will, the Russian economy is in trouble.
Oh my God, did people come after me for that?
Why would you be mad at me for saying that Trump will turn on Putin and the Russian economy was in trouble?
Well, some people were really insulting in saying that I didn't understand economics.
Now, none of the people who said that have a degree in economics and an MBA from a top business school like I do, but they believe that I must know nothing about economics if I thought that Trump could influence the economy of Russia.
Other people said, you know, that he's already tried, everybody's tried, and all it does is drive Russia to bricks.
So it will just make them, you know, further immune from our economic pressure.
So it'll work the opposite of what I think.
Other people, I don't know, they just had every insult in the world.
Very different from how people react to my other posts.
Lots of hatred and just insult.
And I don't know why.
And then people came in with loser think arguments.
Remember, I always make fun of analogies.
So I made an analogy of the football being pulled away.
But really, that's just a way of describing the situation.
And then some NPC on X called Steve Stevens.
Boy, one way to know you're dealing with an NPC is if their first name and last name are basically the same.
Steve Stevens.
Okay.
The second one is with a PH, but still.
It's Steve Stevens.
You know, your parents, they just gave up.
I don't know.
How about Steve?
Our last name is Stevens.
Yeah, I don't care.
Anyway, when he heard my analogy that Putin keeps pulling the football away from Trump, he cleverly commented, oh, just like Charlie Brown eventually turned on Lucy.
Okay, that's not how analogies work.
An analogy is not trying to be That's not what an analogy is.
You wouldn't need an analogy if it were the same., if all parts of it were the same, the analogy wouldn't be adding anything.
So you want an analogy that makes one narrow point, which is a football could be pulled away from somebody.
It doesn't mean every fucking part of the analogy has to fit.
That's not how analogies work.
So no, the fact that Charlie Brown did not eventually turn on Lucy.
not going to tell you anything about what trump and pudin will do and the the level of stupidity in the comments was really It was weird.
But let me tell you my argument and it goes like this.
It is true that it seems like we've done every sanction that you can do to Russia, right?
If you follow the news, as most of you do, wouldn't you say that all the sanctions have already been tried and they didn't make any difference at all?
Feels like it, right?
But here's my take on that.
Presumably we haven't run out of things to do.
We've simply run out of things to do that were at the risk-reward level we were willing to go to.
Does that make sense?
Clearly, there are riskier things we could do to Russia.
Would you like an example of a risky thing that could be done to Russia that would affect their economy?
Well, how about blowing up their pipeline?
We've done that.
We've blown up their pipeline and acted like, well, I don't know, maybe they blew it up themselves.
Now, that was Biden.
But you don't think that the United States could blow up another pipeline?
You don't think that Trump is already hinting that he thinks Zelensky should take more offensive actions on the country of Russia itself, which is the opposite of what everybody's been saying.
Up until now, we've been saying, it's too much risk.
Don't go after the mainland Russia.
Don't do that.
But not now.
Now that it looks like Russia has no intention of being honest and negotiating the end of the war, suddenly that risk doesn't look so bad, does it?
So what if Trump said, all right, here's the dealal zelensky i'm going to give you some really accurate missiles with long range i want you to take out their refineries and their pipelines and go after their economic uh you know lifeline now obviously that would make um putin need to respond and he might do the same to ukraine etc so it's high risk but
But would it hurt their economy if their oil pipelines and refineries all started blowing up?
It would, right?
How would it not?
So those people who said, "There's nothing more we can do, sanctions-wise or any otherwise," that's crazy.
If we unleashed the CIA, they said, "Here's the deal.
We're going to take much higher risk.
We know that the Russians are, they've already penetrated all of our major, you know utilities and everything and they could basically open our dams and turn off our lights and you know do all kinds of things in the us but we don't think they will that's sort of what happened with the pipeline right when biden blew up the pipeline of line.
Of course Russia knew who did it.
Of course they did.
But did that cause Putin to do a bunch of terrorist acts within the United States?
Not that I know of.
Not that I know of.
So he does have some sense of restraint because he knows if he escalates, we'll escalate.
And he doesn't want that because we can escalate further than he can.
So how many of you believe there's literally nothing at any level of risk that Trump could do to degrade the Russian economy?
Is anybody here stupid enough to think there's just nothing that could be done?
Now, I'm not saying that the risk-reward makes sense, but Trump could definitely ratchet up the dirty tricks and he could ratchet up what weapons he sells.
He could scare people about the economy.
I don't remember anybody going after India.
going after them hard as he is with these tariffs.
I don't remember anybody trying that before.
And if he gets India to cooperate, that's a huge impact.
A huge impact.
India is the number two buyer of their energy.
Number two buyer.
And he could turn that off because it used to be 1% and went to 40% of what they were buying.
So, have I made my case?
Would you all agree that although the risk of doing so might be more risk than you're comfortable with, but there's lots of stuff that Trump could still do to do?
degrade Russia's economy.
In my opinion, that's what he's going to do.
And he might say it directly, not that he needs to, but he might say it directly.
All right, here's the deal.
We're not going to put up with endless ore, so we're going to destroy your economy and we're going to take you out of the energy business.
We're going to undersell.
I'm going to get my friends, and if there's anybody who really needs this oil at the price you're selling it, we will sell it to them instead at even a cheaper level.
You know, I don't know if that would make sense.
But the point is, there's a lot that Trump could do if he's willing to take the risk.
And we have now entered the Trump said that he said that he's aware that things slow down and it doesn't look like Russia is serious at this point because they haven't really even organized a meeting between Zelensky and Putin.
And without that, it kind of indicates nothing's going to happen.
But here's what Trump said on, let's see, did he say this on truth?
He said, quote, it is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invader's country.
It's like a great team in sports that has fantastic defense, but it's not allowed to play offense.
There's no chance of winning.
It's like that with Ukraine and Russia.
All right.
Now, I don't know how you can interpret that any way, except saying that Trump just gave a total green flag, green light, green light, let's say, to Ukraine to attack anything they want.
inside of Russia.
How else would you interpret that?
So will that affect Russia's economy?
Well, it depends on what they attack.
I think it might.
So anyway, some good news for Trump, 5-4 ruling in the Supreme Court that Trump and his administration can cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in NIH, that's the National Institute of Health, grants that are linked to diversity initiatives.
So I guess a Boston judge had blocked them from cutting those diversity initiative grants, but now they have permission to do that so yet again another victory for trump in the courts um as you know the new york appeals court threw out that 500 million dollar penalty against trump he's still guilty of the you know not being uh let's say accurate on
his loan application but there were no victims and there's no way there would have been a victim because of the way the process works and the bank didn't have a problem with it would do business with him again but um that may end up in the Supreme Court or the higher court in New York, I guess.
So that's not done.
But I think Trump's having good results with the courts.
Things are starting to go his way.
I saw some comments about the Smithsonian.
There was somebody who went to the Smithsonian recently.
And apparently it's totally DEI downed.
Trump's desire to get the Smithsonian back into more of a America first and less of an emphasis about.
about identity politics and we're all bad slavers and stuff like that.
He wanted to make it a little more, let's say, a more optimistic experience, more positivity.
But apparently the Smithsonian did go downhill quite a bit.
And you get hit with a DEI stick the moment you walk in, I guess.
But Robbie Starbuck, a activist against this DEI stuff in corporate America, said that the Smithsonian's prior head diversity officer from 2022 to 2025 is no longer a head diversity officer because they don't have that job anymore because you know the federal government said that having a DEI thing is illegal it's against the law so
they no longer have a head diversity officer no now they have a director of visitor accessibility who happens to be the ex head diversity officer And Robbie Starbucks says that he's hearing that nothing has changed except the job title and the equity is still the point of the job.
Now, Has anybody said yet that the DEI stuff is systemic racism?
You can't get more systemic than it's illegal, you have to stop it, and then people just burrowing more deeply into the system and doing exactly what they were doing.
That is systemic.
It's in every government organization.
It's in every private entity.
It's in every charity.
Everything in the United States is completely infected with massive DEI racism.
I would say at this point, and I've always said, by the way, that racism against Black Americans is systemic.
I've always agreed with that description.
What I don't agree with is, why is that my problem?
Why is that my problem?
Yes, systemic racism exists that's bad for Black Americans.
But also, yes, systemic racism has existed for at least 50 years that is massively discriminates against white males, especially.
But again, am I really asking for reparations?
I mean, jokingly, I do, but not really.
We all have problems.
Some people are short.
Some people are unhealthy.
Some people are not smart, and they never will be.
How is any of that fair?
We don't live in a world where anything is fair.
The best you can do is figure out where you can use the unfairness to your advantage.
So clearly there are places you can go where it's a lot easier to use the DEI system.
systemic racism to your advantage and there are places that you would want to avoid if you were not one of the people that DEI favors.
So it's definitely systemic racism and I don't know why we don't call it that.
But I guess my main point is we are suckers.
If we allow people to say, hey, the average of people who are in this category that I decided is a category are doing worse than the average of the people in this other category that doesn't mean you have to fix that that does not tell you you must fix it it just tells you what it is the the must fix it should be activated at an individual level not an average of a group if there's an individual
that you can help maybe you could mentor them maybe you give them a job maybe you give them a chance maybe you direct them in the right place by all means you should be doing that like crazy no matter who the person is if you can help if you can help help but no we should not be managing to anybody's average based on their group.
And you cannot tell me that there's a reason I have to do that.
There's no reason.
It's just power.
Somebody figured out that they could get some funding.
They could turn it into a grift.
They could, you know, maybe make some money.
But we don't have to fall for that.
We don't have to fall for any of that.
It's just not our problem.
I saw somebody throw the handicapped in there.
The handicapped is a different situation because one of the things about being handicapped is it could happen to any one of us at any time.
So having spent a little time being handicapped this year, there was a part of my year where I couldn't walk unaided.
I mean, I needed a wheelchair or a walker or something.
I'm past that at the moment, so I can walk just fine at the moment.
But once you experience being truly disabled, it makes you a little bit flexible.
about the disabled.
So that's a different category.
It's something we could all possibly pass through.
So I feel different about that.
Well, Secretary Rubio says effective immediately they're going to not give worker visas for commercial truck drivers in this country.
Now, I did not know that we were recruiting commercial truck drivers from other countries because correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine a job.
that would be more perfect for people who did not already have experience that was commercially valuable because you could go to truck driving school and in just a few weeks you're all trained up to be a big rig truck driver.
So we should really be hiring Americans for the jobs that are sort of most perfectly designed for somebody who's not already, you know, killing it in life.
So I guess I'm surprised that we ever had worker visas for that category.
So yeah, I agree with Rubio.
Cut that out.
Jonathan Turley is writing about how Democrats are getting increasingly violent in their rhetoric.
Let me give some examples.
Governor Newsom recently said, I'm going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
So he's talking about Republicans as these sons of bitches he's going to punch in the mouth.
Now, he doesn't say it like he means it physically, but it's very violent rhetoric, isn't it?
And he's not alone.
So Hakeem Jeffries recently published One House Democrat recently told Axios, and this is all in Jonathan Turley's excellent article.
One House Democrat told Axios that some of the Democrats suggested that what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.
So they're even talking about accepting some violence on their own team in order to, you know, push their violent.
um i don't know goals and yet another one admitted that constituents have told them to quote prepare for violence to fight to protect our democracy.
And others say that we might need to storm the White House and stuff like that.
One explained they're angry beyond things.
Beyond things.
Now they're angry at people, I guess that means.
And it's like the Roman Coliseum.
People just want more and more of this spectacle.
Yeah, they like the fight.
So people are drawn to the talking about the fight.
All right.
Here's my take on this.
You've heard it said that if all you have is a hammer, Well, the Democrats, they don't have policies, nor can they, which is the funny thing.
If I tell you, hey, the Democrats are not explaining policies that they would bring you, it's not that they haven't done it yet.
It's that there's no way to do it.
because the policies that they would have to come up with would have to be counter to common sense because the Republicans are owning common sense.
They're doing things that the majority of Americans say, oh, that makes sense.
Pretty much all day long.
It's just stuff that the majority likes.
So what exactly would be the policy that would get Democrats their power back if they're going against the majority of Americans?
There's no place to play.
It's just not an option.
Oh, Gary the cat has come to join us.
So here's my If everything, if all you have is a hammer, which in this case is words, you know, they're angry words.
That's their only hammer.
So for all situations, they think, oh, angry words.
What happens?
Uh-oh.
uh oh All right.
What happens?
Did I lose you there?
Gap problem.
What happens if they try using all those fighting words and it doesn't work?
So this is how I imagine it.
It would be, all right.
We've got to fight Trump harder.
Okay, let's talk about fighting.
And they go out and for a few weeks, they use fighting words.
Oh, we got to fight him harder we got to argue harder we got to work harder fight harder and they come back in two weeks and their popularity has gone down again so remember all they have is a hammer they don't have any other tools no policies no good leaders nothing and so what do they do now well then they get a bigger hammer what would be a bigger hammer than
just using lots of fighting words.
You already know the answer.
They would start cursing while they use fighting words.
So now it's not just we're going to fight them every turn.
It's going to be we're going to punch them in the mouth.
We're going to take a bat to them.
We're going to storm the capital.
It's still just the hammer because it's just talking, but they got a bigger hammer.
What is the third biggest hammer is the physical threats.
So they go from strong talk to strong talk with swearing, which also doesn't get them anything.
And then they go, man, strong talk didn't work.
Strong talk with swearing isn't working.
Let's add some violence.
and that's where they're at.
But you had to get there because their whole game is that they won't come up with policies or good ideas or good candidates.
They will just talk sternly and that's it.
Anyway, speaking of that, Representative Jasmine Crockett said in a recent podcast, I think it was with Newsom actually, that President Trump's, quote, white nationalist army tried to pull a coup on January 6th.
And she also claimed that the most unpatriotic people in the country are Trump and the MAGA movement.
Now, she's one of the top leaders for the Democrats now.
Remember where I said all they have is a hammer?
They don't have smart people to say smart things.
They really don't.
and it gets worse in axios mike allen is writing about how there was a a memo got sent out to democrats from the third way And the think tank is recommending that the Democrats get rid of their jargon because it's off-putting.
And they gave them a list of words to stop using.
Now, you can't, that's something that's unimaginable for the Republicans, isn't it?
It's unimaginable.
that somebody would make a list and give it to the Republicans and say, don't use these words.
But on their list of words, they make things.
worse.
It's a very long list, by the way.
It's all the words that you would find off-putting.
Birthing person, inseminated person instead of a woman who's pregnant.
System of oppression, critical theory, cultural appropriation, postmodernism, Overton window, heuristics, privilege, violence as in the environment is violence, dialoguing, Now, do you think that'll work?
Do you think that Democrats are capable of talking like Republicans?
Oh, they're not capable of that.
No.
This has no chance of working.
To my point, David Axelrod, who you would consider one of the top leading Democrat experts and consultants, he was just on a podcast or an interview, I don't know what it was.
He claims that it's a constant problem for Democrats that they follow the norms.
So he's already, you know, he's using the kind of language that they're trying to stay away from.
And do you believe that this would be a true statement that Democrats follow the norms?
but Trump has a big advantage because he breaks norms.
Is that what you're watching?
Does Axelrod not know that the Democrats have been running a total hoaxocracy for over 10 years and that they're using lawfare and they're using every trick that you could possibly use?
They have broken every norm that we've ever had.
And does David Axelrod not know that?
Has he not noticed that his own party has broken every norm that you could break?
Or does he know it, but he's just lying?
I actually don't know.
But it doesn't seem like something he'd lie about because it would be such a dumb lie.
Everybody would know it was a lie.
So I don't know.
I can't tell if he's dumb or lying.
This one's a tough one.
I will just assume that Axel Robin was in a coma for the past 10 years, so he didn't notice.
There's an ex-Biden spokesman who I guess got interviewed by James Comer and his congressional staff or his congressional, what would you call it, group.
And let's see, who was it?
It was Ian Sams, who was described as one of former Joe Biden's, President Joe Biden's staunchest defenders and sort of a spokesperson for the White House.
And what we found out is his staunchest defender and spokesperson type for the White House only ever had contact with Biden twice while Biden was in office.
So one of the voices that we were listening to as if it were, you know, Biden talking because they were talking for him was somebody who's only ever talked to Biden twice.
I feel like there's some kind of norm that got violated there if you know what I mean.
But it's not as bad as you think, because even though Ian Sims never, except for two times, talked to Biden, he did on a regular basis meet with Autopen, and he would every day get a new list of instructions from the Autopen.
Oh, okay.
All right.
All right.
I'll do that.
That's right.
Autopen was running the country.
So the other big problem with the Democrats is that they're bleeding cash, and apparently the rich donors are selling their money.
their pockets shut If you were smart enough to be a billionaire, because you'd have to be pretty smart to make a billion dollars, if you were smart enough to be a billionaire and you were a Democrat donor, would you be giving money right now because what would you be funding exactly and who would you be funding there's nobody to fund it just looks like the democrat party is in
full collapse and if you put more money in it i don't think you could breathe life into it and it's not like any of these candidates are setting the world on fire So I think the Democrats are going to have a continuing money problem until they come up with a candidate who looks like they could win.
And they don't seem close to that, in my opinion.
And it makes me wonder if all these smart rich people have already gone to the Republican side or become independent.
I don't know.
Well, this morning, John Bolton, who would be a Republican, his home was raided by the FBI.
Now, we don't know the reason, but everybody's speculating it has something to do with some positional
Now, I guess he was accused of that under the Biden administration, and there was some movement toward acting on it but they got canceled so there's a lot of details in the story we don't know and we don't know if it's about classified documents but he wasn't home and he's not been arrested as far as we know so we don't know what that's all about yet but Cash Patel did post on X at about the time this was going on that
no one is above the law and then Dan Bonjino added to that by saying public corruption will not be tolerated.
So are they talking about Bolton being publicly corrupt?
Well, here's what I say.
They gave him some classified documents, and he probably said to himself, I must stash these in my house.
Must stash them.
Dad joke.
Yep, dad joke of the day.
All right.
So I guess prosecutors...
I've got a feeling that none of these important people are going to go to jail.
What do you think?
I feel like they're all going to beat it on a technicality or they're going to drag it out or they'll drag it until a Democrat gets elected again, however long that takes, and then they'll get pardoned.
I just, I don't believe.
that our system can put a prominent Democrat in jail.
I don't think it can.
Now, it was hard enough to put Trump in jail.
They tried everything they could and that didn't work.
But even where the evidence is clear and they've got documentation and they've got witnesses and it's obviously a crime, even in those cases, I'm not really expecting anybody to go to jail.
They should.
I mean, the crimes are some of the worst things that I've ever seen that don't involve violence.
But I just have no confidence that it will end in any kind of conviction.
Trump has weighed in on the case of Tina Peters, who was apparently convicted for 2020 election interference or let's say that was the domain.
But what she did was I guess she had some doubts about the integrity of the election in Colorado and gave somebody access to some classified stuff with the purpose of checking to see if the election was rigged.
So her intention was to make sure that the election was fair.
What she did was technically a crime.
She gave access to somebody who should not have had that access.
But Trump, of course, wants to further the story that the elections were questionable.
And so that would make Tina Peters sort of the hero of the moment, because it would look like she's being punished for something that you could imagine that maybe even it being illegal, that she wouldn't have gone to jail for it, because her intention was to make things better, not worse.
And that matters.
I mean, this should matter a lot.
So I don't think Trump has the power to pardon her for anything, because it's probably state charges.
But he's weighed in with free Tina Peters, brave and innocent patriot who's been tortured by crooked Colorado politicians, including the big mail-in ballot supporting the governor of the state.
Let Tina Peters out in jail right now.
Now, I think he means it, and it's compatible with all the things he's saying about getting rid of election machines and no mail-in voting.
So it works really well with you know, the message he's trying to get across.
We'll see.
Anyway, so she was guilty on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, first degree official misconduct, violation of duty.
None of those sound terribly important, do they?
In this context, it just doesn't feel like she should be losing her freedom.
So she has suspicions about Dominion voting systems.
Now, you know, Dominion has been pretty, pretty tough in their...
So that's probably a big part of the story, that dominion is part of it.
Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, there was no evidence that anything was rigged, but that's a secondary question.
Remember I keep telling you that big companies are going to lie and say that they use AI to cut staff, but really probably they just wanted to cut staff and AI had nothing to do with it.
Well, Australia's biggest bank.
was all bragging about using AI so that they could get rid of a whole bunch of, I think it was their workers who take phone calls.
And it didn't work out.
So now they're looking to hire back all those people they fired.
I told you, the big companies are all going to pretend that AI saved them staffing costs and it's not going to work out.
And they're going to have to reverse it and say, well, okay, maybe we need these humans after all.
So biggest bank in Australia already doing the Dilber dance on that.
to fox news um some of uh eric adams the mayor of new york One of his top advisors is charged in bribery and some other people charged with bribery.
And in other cities, some local officials charged with various crimes.
I'll say it as many times as it takes.
Local governments are basically criminal organizations.
They don't start out that way.
But eventually, somebody's going to get in those jobs who realizes, wait a minute.
I've got access I could sell.
Hey, wait a minute.
I get to determine who wins this bid.
And next thing you know, the people who are not overpaid to be in those jobs, suddenly they're doing great.
So something has to be done to keep an eye on where the money goes with these various politicians.
The local cities are 100% corrupt.
I don't think there's any way to save them unless you have some kind of auditor or some kind of untouchable who's just watching every dollar.
so that they can't rip us off like crazy what's that i have to look at this comment.
All right, I can't read it.
It's too small.
Well, update on Gaza.
And according to YNET, the Israeli Defense Force is going to start demolishing multiple structures, big buildings in Gaza City, including tall buildings.
And they're just going to use explosives and just blow them up.
Now, I heard separately that the reason they have to blow up basically every single building in Gaza.
is because they're all booby trapped.
So Hamas has booby traps.
So if the building is still standing, you can't really trust it because there might be who knows what in there.
So the IDF is using that explanation for why they can just blow up the building.
I'm going to add my own cynical speculation.
Since we know that Israel wants to completely change the power structure and the population and the whole city, everything about it, it probably makes sense to get rid of every big building.
because then you don't have people saying, all right, but you're going to let me back in my building, right?
I own that building.
You're going to let me rent it to people, right?
Because that would have been a problem.
So I think it's sort of a probably a convenient explanation that some of them or most of them are booby trapped because I think they wanted to get rid of all of them.
If you get rid of all of them, then you can kind of do what needs to be done or what you think needs to be done.
And again, I'm not giving you my opinion of what is ethical or moral or what they should do or who's the good guy or who's the bad guy.
I don't get into that at all when it comes to Israel because it's not my country.
And I simply observe that they're doing things that they think are in their national best interest, just like everybody else.
The fact that you don't like it, and sometimes I don't like it, but we don't have any control over it.
It's not our country.
And we would note that every country, every time in history, does what's good for their natural family.
The big exception has been the United States, and you could argue Europe lately, in which we've acted in a way that clearly in the past, recent past, clearly was not in the best interest of the United States, like open borders and stuff.
But if you look at a country like Israel and you see that even if you don't like what they're doing, even if you could make an argument that it's evil and unethical and immoral and that the victims, especially the children, you know, it's unconscionable, you could make that argument, but I wouldn't care.
I mean, I wouldn't care about the argument.
I would care about the human beings, but I wouldn't care about your thoughts about it because nothing's going to change change the fact that Israel will pursue its national best interest.
And we've got a close national connection with them.
Again, you could argue that we shouldn't, but we do.
So we can observe what's happening.
And you can complain about the loss of life, and that's fair.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
So I'm an observer when it comes to Israel.
So don't ask me to defend them and don't ask me to condemn them.
I'm just watching.
And if the situation.
were reversed and Hamas had all the power and all the military, things would be going really poorly for the Jewish people living in the area.
So I don't feel like there's good guys.
If I thought there was a good team and a bad team, or that it was up to me to decide who's good or bad, I guess that's a better way to say it.
It's not up to me to decide.
It just seems whoever has the power.
pursues their what they see as their national best interest and that's all there is there all right that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I had to talk about today.
I'm going to talk to my beloved subscribers on locals privately and in 30 seconds.
And I've enjoyed having my cat in my lap for the last part of this show.
I have to admit, it just makes everything better to have a cat in your lap.
If you've not experienced.
the good feeling of having a cat seem to be really happy about being with you.
You really have to.
It feels more special when you get a cat to like you.
You know, dogs are too easy, but you get a cat who just really wants to be with you wherever you are.
That is a cool feeling.
So this is Gary the cat.
His brother Roman doesn't like as much attention, but is an awesome cat also.
