mer Lee. I would like to first compliment Summer Lee, Congresswoman Summer Lee, for having one of the best names of people who've ever been named. You know Summer is a pretty good name but Lee is an excellent last name to go with Summer. Summer Lee. Am I wrong? That's like one of the best names I've ever heard. Like I always wonder if that actually affects your life to have a name that people real…

the billionaire class and the big donors are going to do their homework. That's the group that's making damn sure they know who to give their money to because it's a lot of money and they're smart high functioning people who are not just guessing. They're doing good risk analysis and they know where their money's going. So if you say all the, if you say oh I don't know if you knew this but the smart big donors, the smart ones, the smart billionaires, they've decided not to give money to Joe Biden. So I mean you can if you want. I mean that's up to you. It's a free world. You can give your money to anybody you want but the smart ones, smart ones, they've already decided not to. Now you tell me I'm exaggerating. I'm you know that's hyperbole. The article doesn't go that far but don't you think this article is designed to take him out? You know and of course they mentioned you know people are looking at the alternatives and all that. It feels like it's designed only for that purpose. It does not feel like news. It doesn't even have the vibe of we just wanted to inform you as a citizen. Nothing like that. It just feels like a play. An actual op instead of news.

All right let's see what else is going on. Michael Shellenberger tweeted this. There's some entity called Public. I don't know who they are but they, some kind of publication or entity. But Shellenberger is tweeting that Biden and the FBI suggest that domestic terrorism is increasing but it's not. And now a new investigation by Public whoever they are reveals that the FBI is deliberately stoking domestic extremism and white supremacy in order to paint Republicans as terrorists. Now I'm not going to say that this is confirmed to the level that I feel comfortable with it but on the other hand Shellenberger isn't wrong a lot if at all and I can't think of an example but anyway he thought it was credible enough to retweet it. I would put a little caution on it. You know just put a little skepticism on whether Public has the goods but it's a report and it does. Here's the problem I guess. Here's the problem. This has to work both ways. It feels too on the nose doesn't it? If the politics of this were reversed that's the first thing I tell you. That's a little, that's like exactly what you suspected isn't that a little on the nose? Might be true might be exactly true but it has that feel like things that aren't true you know what I mean? If you just use pattern recognition it looks like maybe somebody's stretching the story a little bit but it's also possibly completely true. So the fact that we don't know if we can trust our FBI to be working for the public or actively against it you know by playing in politics I would call that actively working against the public. Isn't that weird? We actually don't know if the FBI is actively working for or against the public. That's pretty scary anyway. So it does seem to me the white supremacy is the new hoax. So maybe I should add that to my hoax list. FBI wh

ite supremacy hoax. What do you think? I think we should. White supremacy a hoax at this point. Now you know how the argument always goes right? The side that disagrees with you will tell you if there are three white supremacists in a group of 80 million all 80 million are white supremacists right? That's where we go next. So next we go there. Well if you have two or three in that group of 80 mill…
