a poll where one of the main answers was zero? Zero. Now we're rounded to zero, so it was a little bit more than zero but it rounded to zero.

Yeah, I often tell you that on any poll at least 25 percent of the respondents are going to get the wrong answer. But this one was so clean, so obvious, so clear, so unambiguous that a hundred percent of Black Americans, who you might imagine, you know, being human like everybody else, you might imagine that they would feel a little biased because we all do in our own situations, right? We all have bias. Don't you think that you could get more than zero of them to at least imagine they had a problem, hard time? How do you even not imagine that maybe it was harder than usual?

I mean the level of certainty that these patriots exhibited, and I'm going to call them patriots. Why do I call them patriots? Because there wasn't anybody who was willing to lie for political purposes. They found apparently a large body of Black voters of which basically none of them were willing to lie for political gain. Have you ever seen better news than that? Yeah.

Now somebody says that makes you suspicious of the poll, doesn't it? Yeah that does make you a little suspicious of the poll. All right I'm going to completely change my take on this. You've completely changed my mind. There's no way that's true. There's no way that's credible. All right you win. You win. You got me. My first reaction was it was amazing. Second reaction, you have changed my mind. I'm looking at your comments. You've totally changed my mind. There isn't any way that's true. There isn't any way that's true, right? And here I was all inspired that we'd found a pocket of the best patriotic Americans who just weren't willing to lie for a political gain. But there's no group of Americans like that, right?

Well I guess it's double fake news. It's probably double fake news and it really wasn't that hard to vote, but there's no way this survey is real. I can't believe it. All right, enough of that.

So the Wall Street Journal has some good reporting here on what's stopping the TikTok ban from happening. As you know, TikTok is evil and can control America because it's the user interface that China can use to change our opinions in America. Literally. That's not any kind of exaggeration. And so as you know, Josh Hawley has some legislation and spending. But here's a problem that I'd never heard of until today. And how in the world did I never hear this until today? Can you tell me if you heard this news before today?

That the reason that Trump tried and failed to get TikTok banned was there something called the Berman Amendment. It goes back to the Cold War. And the Berman Amendment says that you don't want to censor international information. And the reason was, I think we didn't want our information to be censored by other people, but also we didn't want to be the censors of other countries. So it was the Berman Amendment. Now apparently the Trump administration was not able to figure out a way around it. And so TikTok argued it and won. And won in court. They said it's not legal because the Berman Amendment says you can't do this. So the Trump administration backed off.

Do you know how hard this was to solve? Here's what the Hawley amendment did to get past that. Oh, so terrible problem. Totally unsolvable problem, right? What are you going to do? What are you going to do with this unsolvable problem of the Berman Amendment? Well let me tell you how clever Hawley is. Josh Hawley. Now you never would have figured this out because we're just normal people. But Josh Hawley, apparently a genius, figured out how to get around the Berman Act. His legislation says this will be a narrow exception to the Berman Act.

Well who would have ever thought of that? Who would have ever thought, well why don't we just include in the legislation that this is an exception? How about that? Now apparently nobody, I want to ask you for an exception to do some swearing because this really calls for it, but I'm not going to do it. Not going to do it. I'm not going to swear. I will simply state in the calmest possible way that the Trump administration must have been deeply incompetent on this issue because it looks like the solution is as simple as saying, well how about we make an exception to the Berman Act.

And here's why that was not really hard to figure out. So I can't give Trump a pass on that, can I? How in the world could I give him a pass on that? Now maybe the Josh Hawley legislation won't pass and then maybe the argument is, well you know it's not going to pass if you put that in there. But why wouldn't it? The argument for not making that exception is that other countries might try to censor our information. Stop laughing. Come on, let me say it again so you can have a good laugh with it. The argument for not censoring information coming into our country from China, from China, is that other countries might try to use as an excuse to ban some of our information. Yeah, that's actually what they're arguing about in the real world. Actual adults are having that conversation.

Let me tell you the conversation that's not happening in China. Oh we better not do anything with TikTok because we don't want to violate that Berman Act. I mean it's not our act or amendment. It's not our amendment. But you know we don't want to start something. The last thing we'd want to do in China is ban some American information because you k
