ause I want you to. That's no reason. Oh my god, it goes down just as good as it goes past the taste buds. But don't do this. You do you. Enjoy it. You know everybody's different. One more. Wow. Yeah, but you do you. All right, let's get to the news. Rasmussen tells us just what I expected. Do you know what kind of polls I like? The kind of polls I like are the ones that agree with me. Those are…

Now I worry about a poll where people have just two choices here because I think people probably would just vote their party line in the end. But suppose Trump ran against Harris. According to Rasmussen, 52 would say Trump, 39 would say Harris. So the two strongest Democrats in the country would both lose to Trump if they had an election today.
So I would say my prediction that Trump would grow in popularity once out of office, it's kind of looking good. It's kind of looking good. I think there's another level after this. I think the level after this is where we've really forgotten all the acrimony and the mean tweets and stuff. I think that the distant historians are going to be the kindest to Trump because his accomplishments will last and his outrages will seem unimportant.
All right. Glenn Greenwald continues to be one of the best follows on Twitter and one of the most interesting public characters I would say. So if you're not following Glenn Greenwald, you're really missing a good show. I mean his Twitter feed is like I would pay for it. It's almost subscription quality compared to other tweets.
But he says today in a tweet, huge numbers of corporate media outlets spent weeks peddling an outright lie from the CIA that the Biden emails were quote Russian disinformation. Do you remember that? Do you remember when all the talking heads were saying, oh those emails, that's probably Russian disinformation? So Glenn says that was the CIA gaslighting the country.
And as Greenwald says, and now we'll ignore the fact that one of their own, a political reporter, just published a book definitively debunking their lies. So Politico, I don't know who it is, but some political reporter has a book I guess. And Greenwald goes on. He says these are the same people who spread the CIA lie that Russians put bounties on the heads of U.S. soldiers and Trump did nothing about it. Same people who spread the now debunked Trump Alpha Bank lie. That was the idea that there was some kind of private server that Trump had that was connected to some bank, which somehow I didn't even see that story when it happened originally.
Now what do you think? Do you believe it? True or false? I want to say to your comments, true or false, do you believe that the CIA planted all three of these stories? And he doesn't even mention Russia and collusion, the

Trump collusion story. Doesn't even mention that one. Was that CIA? So in the comments, how many of you believe it? I'm seeing only yeses. I see one now on Locals. It looks like YouTube is very much believing it and Locals too, looking at both platforms. Your comments. Yeah, you do believe it, don't you? So here you are in a country in which your most important industry to protect your freedom,…
