you'd never used, let's say, Instagram, and most of them probably have somebody else send a tweet and maybe they know a little Twitter, maybe they got some Facebook going on, but they're not really social media consumers so much. They're more like producers, not consumers. Now if you're a consumer and you've done what I did, which is you pick up Instagram, you say oh I wonder if there's any good…

If you've never experienced the feeling I don't think you would take it seriously. Because there are a number of members of Congress, follow me on Twitter, they've seen all of my tweets for a lot of them. And they know that people say hey TikTok is addictive and it can influence people. But if I did a quiz of all the members of Congress they would all get the right answer, don't you think? You know, does social media influence people? Yes. I'll bet every one of them would get the right answer. Does TikTok influence people? Yes. Right answer. Is TikTok controlled by China? Yes. I believe that Congress would get all the right answers in the quiz, every one of them, probably every one of them.
But I'll bet there are very few who've used it. If you used it you're going to kick it to the curb really fast because you feel it. And you've also had the experience of you all... ah just listen to this. And you've all had the same experience so mine is not unique.
I have considered and talked with friends about maybe taking singing lessons, vocal lessons, because yeah I've learned the drums and tried to learn the guitar and I was just curious whether anybody could learn to sing. And I have no skill or aptitude. And so I was kind of curious. I've never written it down, I don't think. I've never tweeted it. And my advertisements are full of vocal lessons being offered, full of vocal lessons. Now is your feed full of vocal lessons? No. I never wrote that down, never wrote it down, but I said it out loud, said it out loud.
Now do you think that Congress, you know the 80-year-old people in Congress, do you think that they've experienced talking about something in the privacy of their home and then watching it show up on their feed? Do you think they've experienced that? Maybe a few, the younger ones. AOC has, I'm sure. But I don't think that Congress is young enough to have actually mind melded themselves with social media to know how powerful it is. So I'm thinking it's actually an information problem. As in you can't communicate to somebody what a feeling feels like, right? Like intellectually they all get it but I don't think they know what it feels like. If they did it'd be over. There would be no TikTok. If Congress used it for a week it would be gone. That's my best hypothesis. Because it could be just corruption. It could be exactly what it looks like. China just owns the Congress. It's possible.
Well, Antifa is back. And there's no reason they ever disappeared and there's not really a strong reason they came back. But as Tucker Carlson conspiratorially suggests, they're nothing but the military arm of the Democrats. And they come whenever the Democrats want to tell the public that the country is falling apart and they need to trade out the leader. So the first leader they got rid of was Trump. And it started looking like they want to get rid of Biden. So Antifa might be a way to get rid of Biden because it just makes the country look unstable because they get so much news coverage.
Now apparently Antifa people, instead of being executed, which seems like the obvious play, are being just released. But I think in Atlanta they're going to be a little tougher on them. The Atlanta police say they're going to charge them. So we'll see.
I think I'm going to agree with this take. I'm going to agree with the take. Antifa appears to be an entirely artificial Democrat army. I don't believe that all the members of Antifa know what they are or why they're there. I think a lot of them are in it for the lifestyle and to meet women. It's the only way they can. But I think that the leaders, the leaders are working for a paycheck. And if we don't know who's paying them, I think classifying them as domestic terrorists and also Democrats is accurate.
Now they wouldn't identify as Democrats because they're for chaos. But consider the fact that they're not asking for anything. Just that. Just that alone. They're not asking for anything. Are we done? There's nothing else you need to know about them. If they're burning cities and not asking for some specific demand and they're not asking for anything that could be provided, right? No, it's obviously to create chaos. And obviously somebody's paying them. So it's a what if everything is exactly the way it looks.
All right, more on that note. It turns out that there is an FBI agent. I don't even know what to say about this story. The story is so mind-boggling that you just, there's no comment on top of it. They can't do anything to make it more outrageous. But so the federal prosecutors are going after the former head of the counterintelligence for the FBI New York office. They're saying he laundered money from some Russian oligarch. Apparently was the same one who was giving money to Manafort, of course. So sure enough the FBI guy, I think he was in charge of making sure this didn't happen, was doing it himself.
So once again the Tucker Carlson theory that I thought was batshit crazy, batshit crazy, that the Democrats do whatever they're accusing you of every time, every time it comes true. This is exactly what they're accusing Republicans of. They were doing it. They were literally taking money. This guy was literally taking money from Russia and probably using it in service of Democrats. It was exactly what you thought. Yeah. And the pandemic looks like it's going to be exactly what you thought. Your worst suspicions. Everything is exactly what you think it just seems. Exactly what you think.
So anyway I'm fascinated by that. But let's take that concept that everything is exactly what you think to the fact that there are more classified docu

ments at yet another Joe Biden home. Now let's discuss how it looks. Number one, nobody can explain why Joe Biden has so many homes. We should be done. That should be the end of his term, right? That he should be like immediately swept out of office with one sentence. Nobody knows how he got all those homes. Nobody knows. There's no theory. There's no hypothesis. We just decide not to talk about…
