entertainment and you see it reported as if it's a presidential statement of fact, it looks funny. And that's what I'm going to read to you. So these are Trump's actual words as reported by CNN from I don't know what rally. Quote: "We have a situation where we're looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms." Now right away he already has me because never before has a…

hat kind of water. I can't handle that. But all this water is rushing through and it rushes out to the ocean, the sea. And then you turn the faucet on and you don't get any water. And now I'm seeing the faucet and there's like nothing coming out. I'm like great. And it's just dry or sand is coming out or something. And it's just dripping out, very quietly dripping out. It's not just dripping out, it's dripping out so slowly that the drip is quiet. You can't even hear the drip. It is such a silent drip. Now you see the drip, right? You see it. Now you hear the drip. You hear the freaking drip. It's quiet. It's not one of these plop plop plop things. The president is very clear on this. It's not a big drop. It's a low drip. That's they're so bad. All your water is rushing out to sea. It's rushing out to sea. And all you get is and you're flushing your toilet. You're like flushing and flushing. And the flush in the toilet 10 times up to 15 times. It's like a little movie within a movie because you put yourself right in that scene and you're standing in front of your toilet and you're like nope, nope, ah that's 11. I think four or five more times might get it. Nope.

Anyway this is some of the best communication the world has ever seen. And when I tell you that Trump will be appreciated more every year after his term or terms, however many there end up being, I am really serious about that. I'm as confident as I could be that as the noise and the fog clears and you just see the things he pulled off, the things he did that other people can't do, won't do, have never done and will never do again, it is truly extraordinary. Even if you allow every criticism to be true, the things that he did are just simply extraordinary.

Here's big news. I guess this was news from June but I didn't see it until recently. Sixty-six million years ago an ancient marine reptile that they think was a mosasaur, which is a really big dinosaur I guess, crawled down to the water and left a football-sized egg in Antarctica which has been discovered. So scientists have in their possession a dinosaur egg from an extinct giant marine reptile. Now I'm glad I didn't find it first because I would have been tempted to make an omelette out of it because you don't want to leave it for somebody to clone this egg. I don't know if it has enough material in it to clone us a proper dinosaur, but I feel like we're getting closer to that Jurassic Park-wise. So we're gonna maybe have a dinosaur. But I would have just sort of eaten it as an omelette. I know you can't really make an omelette out of a fossil. Come on, come on. Yeah I don't I didn't see in the story whether they got any useful DNA on it. That would be the big question, right?

And then lastly President-elect Biden — can we call him that? Let's just call him a perspective, maybe President Biden, probable President Biden — he picked for his Department of Energy former governor Jennifer Granholm. Now here's the fun part of the story. I've seen Jennifer Granholm as a pundit on CNN I think just CNN lots and lots of times. I didn't know she was a governor. So I knew she had some role that made her a capable pundit but I didn't know she was governor. I only just knew her from lots of appearances on CNN.

But here's the funny part. While I often disagree with people on CNN, I don't often think they're batshit crazy. So for example if I see Jake Tapper say something I might disagree with it but I don't think he's batshit crazy. He seems completely sane. But Jennifer Granholm — and I'm not saying this because she's female. I know you want to jump on that right. Oh you said the man's not crazy but why is the woman got to be crazy. There are plenty of crazy men. Do you need me to list all the crazy men? Feel better? Will you feel better then if I do that? I'm not going to. But they're crazy people all over the place. But I remember watching her

and thinking, well she is just batshit crazy. I guess she was a big Russia collusion truther. So she does have a history of being really really gullible. Here's the punch line. She'd be in charge of our nuclear energy, which I think includes nuclear weapons at least the civilian aspect or scientific aspect of it. I don't know if Joe Biden could have made a worse choice if he's trying to make me f…
