laiming that critical race theory teaches children to think the United States is racist. Now isn't that true? These are two sentences, both from an opinion piece on CNN today by Manu Raju, Alex Rogers and Melanie Zanona. And see if these two sentences, and they're both right together, make sense to you. They say the term critical race theory blah blah means that racism has been systematically ingrained in American society. And then they say but conservatives are claiming it teaches children to think the United States is racist. But isn't that what they just said? They just said that critical race theory says that we have systemic racism, and then they're blaming, acting like conservatives are dumb for saying it teaches you that the United States is racist. Isn't that exactly what they just said? I mean you could say it's the system, but then that's the United States. It doesn't mean every person is necessarily racist. But all right, we'll get back to that in a minute.

So Biden doesn't think he influences gas prices, or no? Paul Krugman, Nobel winner, Nobel economic Nobel in economics winner Paul Krugman says voters shouldn't be mad at Biden because he has no control over the price of gasoline. What, you think the president has no control over our energy policy? Pretty sure he does. As Michael Shellenberger noted, US is the world's largest producer of oil, and Biden froze new oil and gas leases in January, and he may be opening the strategic petroleum reserve to lower prices. So he certainly has control, some control, not complete control of course. And then I would think that any push toward green and penalizing oil would have an impact, et cetera.

Well we got a great, I think it's a drunk tweet from Cher, performer Cher. I want to show you. You can see her. These are the all caps craziness, and I'm going to read her tweet that again is in all caps but I'm going to read it in the character of a drunk person because I don't think you can read this sober. I think it needs to be drunk. Allow me to get in character for a moment. And now I read this as Cher after five martinis tweeting in all caps: "Joe works tirelessly to work with Congress and pass bills to help everyday Americans and he's here from that on right left because gridlock. Well GOP says some plans how to pick our bones clean if we fail. Geopoly or Nazis and lockstep is different between Democrats." I assume she passed out toward the end of that. I don't know. But never drink and tweet. Don't be a Cher.

Here's some fake news that you think is true, and it turns on the word "considering." Let me give you a little primer story. One day in the context of dealing with some medical issue of no consequence, my doctor just somewhat routinely asked me if I ever had thoughts of suicide or had I ever considered suicide. And I said, "Sure, every day." And I didn't realize that was the wrong answer, because it turns out if you say that, which of course is true, I do consider it every day and then I rule it out.

Do you know what else I consider? Jumping off the roof just to see if I can fly under my own power. I think about that every day and then I rule it out. I consider everything. What the hell do you not consider?

Do you remember when Trump famously was asked if he was considering firing somebody in his administration? Some press guy asked, and Trump quite accurately said, "I consider firing everybody." That's the right answer. It's a perfect answer, by the way. Trump does not get nearly enough credit for the answers that he does that are perfect, because you know the ones that are provocative are more fun. But that's a perfect answer. Yes, I consider firing every person on my staff every day. That's the only right answer.

So here's the fake news that the government or the I guess the DOJ is considering. Considering, I say, based on the ACLU talking to the DOJ. They considered or discussed paying $450,000 dollars apiece to every immigrant separated from their families at the border under Trump. Now do you think that's true news or fake news that it was considered? True news or fake? Well when Biden was asked by Fox News if it was true, Biden says it's garbage. He says no it's not true, it's garbage.

Now the ACLU immediately said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. We are literally talking to the Department of Justice right now and we are literally right now discussing $450,000 payments." So who's right, Biden or the ACLU? Go. Who's right? Which one has the right take on it? Both. They're both right. Biden is 100 percent right because he's looking at it politically, I assume, and he is quite correctly saying there's no freaking way this is going to happen. Do you know why it's not going to happen? Because it would destroy the Democratic Party forever. It would be the end.

Do you think Biden doesn't know that? Do you think he can maintain the black vote if he doesn't do reparations but he pays $450,000 to the immigrants coming across? You think he can keep the black vote if he does that? It's the end of the Democratic Party. So when you say, "Scott but it's been confirmed. The ACLU confirmed it." Yeah, they're considering it. They're considering it just like I consider taking my own life every single day. It's things you think about that never happen.

So now of course you might say to yourself but it might be a smaller number. Well they could try. But suppose they talked it down to, l
