ones. Like, hey, let's send Representative Goldman to talk. He's got some weasel words that you've never even heard. Equity is for losers. Literally, you know, Black America it seems, and a lot of their allies, are pushing for this thing called equity, equity of outcomes. And I say to myself, hypothetically, if you divided a bunch of young people of any colors or ethnicities, you just randomly di…

rong. But you know, the big drag on Black America's education, so that's got to be job one.

Biden is such a lying guy that nobody can tell if he's got dementia or he's just making up stuff. So he actually says in public that, quote, "MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police." MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, said that in public and didn't seem to think he needed to correct it because it's literally the opposite of reality. Do you think that's a lie or that he actually can't discern reality anymore? Because it doesn't look like a lie anyone would tell, does it? I mean, yeah, maybe it's just projection.

A day that will live in hyperbole. That's just such a keeper, isn't it? As soon as you hear that, like, okay, I'm going to use that. That's a keeper. It's a day that will live in hyperbole. You want Tucker Carlson to say that, tell me. Don't you want Tucker to do a monologue and say, we're talking about January 6, 2021, a day that will live in hyperbole. So yeah, I don't think John Thompson would mind if his joke got stolen. I'm giving him credit here, but people would recognize that if somebody used this joke. It's a good joke, well

constructed. There were two stories in the news today about hot grandmothers. Are you noticing that there's a lot more stories about literally grandmothers who are unusually attractive? One of them is model Polina Porizkova or whatever. She's like 58, I think, and she did a shoot where she looks like 19. You know, from let's say the neck down she looks 19. I don't know what kind. Now I'm talking…
