ople who just weren't aware of the news, as soon as they heard an accurate summary of the news, the Durham report changed their answer immediately because they had never heard the news. And this was the news that, if you could call it news. So this is the story that made me think, holy cow, we no longer live in a world where the news is even trying to be news. It's only trying to prevent you from…

But there was a poll. Well, let me just do a little test of my audience. Let's see if you can get this within two basis points. Obviously if you can guess the answer within two. How many people polled do you think favor Feinstein continuing to serve her job to the end of her term? What percentage? Wow, you're very close, and some of you got it exactly. It's 27 percent. Yeah, about roughly a quarter of the people asked had no problem with a vegetable being a senator. Oh, you'd like a potato to be a senator? Well, one quarter of us are totally on board with that.

So that makes you wonder, where is Murdoch on all this stuff? Well, Murdoch, as you know, owns The Wall Street Journal, and the Wall Street Journal editorial board did a piece today on DeSantis that I would say is pretty close to an endorsement without actually saying those words. So I would say it's unambiguously true that Murdoch is backing DeSantis. Now he hasn't said that. I'm just reading between the lines. It looks like that's the case. Yeah, no surprise, right, because Murdoch wasn't pro-Trump anymore.
Speaking of DeSantis, he said he would pardon some January 6ers. You know, obviously you're all the smart audience. You know that he doesn't mean every one of them. He means the ones that

it makes sense to pardon. But he also said he'd pardon Trump. What do you think of that? What do you think of that as a persuasion play, that he would pardon Trump? Yeah, it's right. It's right on target. Exactly. Yeah. So I'm going to say this again. DeSantis does look like a genius of persuasion. He hasn't made a misstep. I mean if he has it's been minor. But he is hitting bullseye after bullsey…
