me a joke but don't use wordplay. And then it will tell me a joke with wordplay. And then I'll say, okay, but try it again, but I want no wordplay, no puns, no clever wording, nothing with wordplay, just a joke. And it will give you another joke with wordplay because it actually can't do anything else. Now this is probably a quiz that you can all do well on. Are fart jokes funny? In the comments,…

le part, I may have guessed right. But as soon as Apple introduces their own AI and it's great, then I really might be right. If AI and Apple work well together, and it probably will, then holding Apple would be the best bet. But there's no way to know, so it introduced some risk.

Dementia Hitler is coming out with some new lies. He said today's data shows that we ended 2023 with inflation down by nearly two-thirds from its peak and core inflation at its lowest level. Blah, blah, blah, blah. What was the last time Joe Biden tweeted something that was true? Have you noticed that it's almost 100% false when he tweets now? I think in this case he's just playing the game of, you know, what base do you start measuring from? If you start at this base, inflation is up. If you start at this base, it looks like it's down. So he's obviously just playing numbers games here, which I would consider a lie.

I don't know. I feel like Trump lied way less in tweets. Am I wrong about that? See, a typical Trump tweet would be a joke, which is not a lie. He could simply say what the numbers are. Inflation is 2% or whatever it is, and that wouldn't be a lie because he'd just be telling you what the statistic is. And then he gives you opinions, which are not lies. You might not like them, but an opinion is not a lie. And then there are insults about his enemies, which might be hyperbole, but you would recognize it obviously as hyperbole and you would judge it as so.

I would say — I don't know if this is purely me being a team player. I guess you can judge me on this. I want you all to judge me. All right. This is a category where I can't judge my own performance. I'm not sure you could either. But judge me on this. Am I being just biased and blind when I say, in my opinion, the social media posting of Biden is far more factually inaccurate than Trump? And I'm not saying that Trump passes the fact-checking. I'm just saying he doesn't post a bunch of lies. It's not that he hasn't. I'm just saying that he's more likely to go with hyperbole and opinion and what's important in America First. And they're not exactly lies, you know, most of it. But I feel like when Biden says anything, it's just a flat lie. That's what it feels like. But am I wrong? Am I way off base? I'm just biased because I might be. I'm open to the fact that that's a false pattern. But I can tell you that this tweet proves that Dementia Hitler doesn't know the difference between up and down when it comes to inflation. Anyway, maybe other things too.

All right. My minor theme for today's show is everything you suspected is true. Now that's sort of a continuing theme in a sense,

because we've all been saying that it seems like all the conspiracy theories are coming true. Now that's of course not actually true. Not all the conspiracy theories, but a lot of the fun ones. So let's look at a few. Apparently the US passports have been redesigned, and the Biden administration has removed the eagle and the flag. In other words, the American imagery has been removed from the pas…
