, right? Now I don't know if that's what happened, but let's check it. Let's find out. I'm going to try to write C-H-A-O into a tweet and see what happens. I don't have to speculate. I can test it live. Okay, testing. All right. Now if I start with C-H-A, um, how do you spell it? Nope, it did not autocorrect. It did not autocorrect because I capitalized it and probably because it knows it's a nam…

to show that they're helping diversity at the level below them so they can stay there.

So anyway, you should know that we have a common enemy, which is rich white people like me. I am my common enemy.

There's a Russian rapper named Ivan Petunin who committed suicide because he didn't want to go fight in Ukraine. He was part of the mobilization. He actually did a video, and then he didn't kill himself on video, but he actually announced, you know, your only choices were going to prison or go murder people you didn't want to kill in Ukraine or commit suicide. He said those were my three choices, so I chose suicide. I kind of respect it. I mean, I don't recommend it, but I kind of respect that in a weird way. Yeah, there's somebody who walks the walk.

Well, speaking of Ukraine, yeah, we'll get to Elon Musk. I was watching a video of Tucker Carlson say basically Tucker Carlson was saying straight up that the U.S. doesn't want peace. That it's no longer a war to keep Ukraine independent. It's a war to collapse Russia and get rid of Putin. How many would agree with that? It's kind of obvious at this point, right? I don't believe it'd be hard to disagree with it. But somehow we drifted into a war with a nuclear power and Congress didn't have anything to do with it. Well, except funding I suppose. But we didn't declare war, did we, with Russia? But we're in one. So Biden actually started a war with Russia. That's on his record. That's like a real thing now.

Would Trump have done it? That's the first question we asked. Would Trump have done it? Probably not. Probably not. But then everybody would say that Trump was in the pocket of Russia. The Democrats would, because the Democrats really want this war with Russia. Apparently not all Democrats, of course. I'm talking about the deep state, you know, the neocon types.

So anyway, Tucker is right on, I think. Tucker also says Ukraine is not a sovereign country because they're a puppet of the United States. Do you agree? Is Ukraine a puppet of the United States? Mostly yes. The United States doesn't tell them the best way to pick up their garbage, but if they want to have a military defense, yeah, for all practical purposes, the people who sell you your guns are in charge.

All right, I saw a tweet about how Polish TV, at least one news channel, treats Putin. So they showed Putin giving the speech, and on the chyron, the little label that they put on the TV below the news, here's how they label Putin: quote, war criminal, comma, head of Russian regime. So they don't say, you know, President Putin. They actually just say war criminal and head of Ru

ssian regime. That's not too bad. All right, let's talk about Elon Musk. So Elon Musk tweets his suggestion for a Ukraine-Russia peace plan. Do not get mad at me for reading it, okay? If anybody has a Ukraine flag in their profile, don't get mad at me. I'm just reading it. You can get mad at me later, and you will be. Boy, will you be. But don't get mad at me yet. This is just Elon's idea. So he…
