tell you that my feeling is based on anything that you should believe because it's just a feeling. But I am feeling that this Omicron is going to be a mild one and that it will finish up our herd immunity in its own weird way. I said this on Twitter yesterday and I got almost no pushback on it, which is the story itself. So here's something that I couldn't have said one year ago. The public wasn'…

So of course what's happening here is if anybody was white like Rittenhouse, they would be talking non-stop about that white supremacist, which is not, you know, that would be fake news. But that's what they do and did. But as soon as it's not a white male who's the alleged perpetrator, well, it's just the car driving itself and the rocks throwing themselves. Because the last thing we're going to do is blame anybody who's not a white male.
All right, I believe that there is an awakening happening and it looks like this. So it's a bunch of things that are happening. They're changing the consciousness of the country. Now I predicted this would happen after Trump, that we would just see reality differently. And specifically we saw that the news is fake. But mostly only the right saw that. The left thought it was only the news on the right that was fake. But the right I think is a little more aware that even the news from their own side could be fake. They're more likely to believe the news on the right, but they know now it could be made up because they've seen enough examples. But the left is just figuring that out with the Rittenhouse case in particular. And now with the Waukesha story, I'm hearing anecdotally — so we don't have a poll on this, but anecdotally — a lot of Hollywood people, a lot of left-leaning people, and people are sending me tweets, you know, private communications showing that their leftist friends have gone over to the other side. And they don't say it in public, but a lot of left-leaning people are just waking up and said, "Wait a minute, is all of the news fake? How long has this been going on?" Yeah, all of the political news is fake. I don't know about the rest of it, but all of the political news is fake. It has been for a long time. So the left is figuring that out.
Here's what else is going on to further wake them up. The Democrats are watching the far left of their own party destroy their chances of ever having political power again. So certainly the moderate Democrats are saying, "Wait a minute, why are we associating with this crowd? They're batshit crazy." So they're seeing their own wing being crazy while they always accuse the right of having the crazy wing, which it does. So both sides have crazy wings. I would say both are racist. You know, if you go far enough to the right you get racists, but most of the right are not. If you go far enough to the left you get racists, but most of the Democrats are not leading hard in that direction.
All right, Hollywood has even turned on the wokeness. I mentioned a TV series I've been watching called The Sex Lives of College Girls. I know, I know, it sounds like porn or something, but think of it as it's basically Sex and the City redone with college freshmen. So think of it that way. So it's just the Sex and the City model, which is four or five females working out their sex lives. So this is just a college setting. Now Mindy Kaling is one of the producers of this with one other guy, I guess. So Mindy Kaling is behind it, and that's important because it viciously mocks woke culture. And even one of the main characters is apparently a Trump supporter, but they don't say that. A female Trump supporter. Now I'm the one saying Trump supporter. The show doesn't say that at all. It just looks like a Republican. But the fact that Hollywood is viciously mocking the woke people in the show, that's different, right? It's now a subject of ridicule.
So you've seen Bill Maher turn against the wokeness, and now we see a pretty big property with a woman who you would imagine would be in the woke crowd because she's in Hollywood, person of color, woman — you know, every characteristic that would make you think she'd be the wokest person in Hollywood. And she's producing a show that mocks it. Now it could be that that's not necessarily her opinion. She might just be a good artist who likes to put out content that's provocative and may not match your personal opinions. That's a thing. But just the fact that it's even on at all, it means something to me.
Now you also have to add in Biden and Harris's approvals are in the toilet and the Build Back Better thing's looking bad. So Rasmussen had a poll just came out: 51 percent of likely U.S. voters oppose the Build Back Better bill. Now 51 isn't a landslide number, but it certainly tells you that there are more than just Republicans who don't like this thing. I mean that's clear.
So some of the sheen of the Biden will do everything better, everything the Democrats do is better than Trump, that's all just dissolved now. Then you look at the fact that Trump's policies on a number of areas are just clearly better. The border. You don't think that a solid chunk of Democrats are saying, you know, if I had to be honest, Trump might have been a bastard but the border was in better shape then, right? You feel that they're seeing it now a little bit. Likewise with inflation. Likewise with China. Likewise with a lot of other things. Although I would say Biden and the Democrats are not terrible on China. They're not worse than the Republicans. I think they both fell short there.
And then of course the Rittenhouse case opened a lot of eyes. So Guy Benson tweeted this. He said that three left-leaning friends have independently texted me about this vanishing national story, talking about Waukesha. They understand what's happening. In other words, they underst

and now that the press is making stories disappear if they don't support the Democrats or the narrative, let's say. Now they can see it, but they can't quite bring themselves to flat out and say it's fucked up. One wrote, and then two of them concede that they now better understand conservatives' complaints about the media. Here it comes. Or as I like to say, it's happening. It's happening. There…
