that sound familiar? As in what Trump did before Biden reversed it. So let's add to Jamie Dimon's list that Trump was right about China, immigration, NATO, taxes, the entire Middle East, Yemen. We could go on. Now here's a story that makes you just shake your head the whole time you think about it. Like try listening to this without shaking your head. Oh God. Like try just hold your chin and try…

ernie's too old and say that ah Trump's fine because he's acting right. To be clear, Trump does not show any worrying signs of age. I don't see any. He looks like he's 100%. But can you trust that? Can you trust it? No, I don't trust it at all. Then you shouldn't trust it. It would be crazy.

In fact Biden wasn't completely gone when he ran for office. If we'd gotten the Biden that ran for office he was on the edge of functioning but he's not now. And every smart person who had lived in the world, the real world for a little while, could tell that four years was going to be devastating based on his starting point. Now Trump could do better. I mean he could sail through four years with no signs of aging. It's possible. But would you bet on it? We're going to have to because the alternative is worse.

So great. But yeah I think that's literally true that the top Democrats don't know what their top policy is. Like literally don't know what it is. Unbelievable.

Trump was quoted as saying yesterday in his speech that if fake news didn't exist 90% of our problems would be solved. Who thinks that's true? Do you think it's true that if fake news didn't exist 90% of our problems would be fixed? Well this is what I call a theme. This is my theme for the rest of the show. So we're going to talk about the other headlines and then I'm going to bounce against this idea. You tell me if the only news is fake news.

Starting with I saw a very funny post from Kekoa the Great, which I'll tell you every time I mention him you should follow him. If you're not following Kekoa the Great you're just missing all kinds of good content. I have no idea who it is or his real identity but his is pretty much gold every day. You long long thing, long threads that perfectly explain our situation. So definitely follow him.

So here's his comment. This is just the driest funniest thing. He says in a post just in, World Economic Forum climate scientist Carlos says 2023 was the hottest year in 125,000 years but he doesn't understand why so many people no longer trust science. Now why is it that you can simply accurately describe what a person did in public and that's the joke? It's a joke. There's nothing added. This is just literally what happened. He said that they think they can measure the temperature accurately over 125,000 years and then he wonders why people don't trust the science. I have no idea. Gosh that's a mystery. I wonder why people are voting for the populist anti-science candidate.

I saw Gad Saad posted today that there's a lot of proof for climate change. Let me give you some of the strong evidence for climate change. However much it snows is proof of climate change. If it snows too much, well that's some climate change right there. If it doesn't snow at all, climate change. If it snows the exact average amount of snow, well that's a little suspicious isn't it? Yeah everything is a reas

on for climate change. Is climate change real? I don't know. But I know there's no way to know. There's no way for me to know. I don't know if there's any way for anybody else to know but no way for me to know. All right. So CNN and MSNBC have dropped the veil of trying to be news. Is that a fair statement? The MSNBC and CNN based on the Iowa caucuses and how they were handled, I feel like they…
