you know when was the last time I looked at a news site? I just don't do it anymore. It's just not where I get the news. Pretty much all the news I want to get filtered through somebody who knows more than the people who reported the news. You know what is bad news? Not bad news as in unlucky news, but a bad form of news is you go to any media site and then you just read the story. That's not even a left or right thing. That's just the worst thing you could do. Just go to any media site and read the story. You know what's a good form? Go to Glenn Greenwald's X feed and see what he says about the story in that media because he's going to add the context. Oh, here's the stuff they left out. Here's the stuff they're lying to you about. Here's the fact that's already been debunked. So if you show me today's news just from the original site, it's just worthless, absolutely worthless. But if you show me that same story and you let a Mike Cernovich or Glenn Greenwald or Michael Shellenberger or Matt Taibbi — I could list 20 more — if you let them filter it first, the people who feel they have something to add to the story or subtract from it, then you might have something. But if you're seeing it just on the news site, you're probably just misleading yourself because the news is all motivated. They'll show you what they want to show you and leave out what they want to leave out because they think they have a certain kind of audience and maybe other reasons.

Well, Elon Musk continues to be entertaining on his own platform. He suggested that — well, he said this in a post: Should I make the Texas Institute of Technology and Science real? In other words, should he just create a college? Now the reason he asked is because the acronym for Texas Institute of Technology and Science would be TITS. So he's willing to create a college because it would be a funny, naughty pun. Now how much money do you have to have before you're willing to create a college just for the pun? Now I'm sure he'd have other reasons for doing it, but I feel like the pun is a lot of it. Yeah, I couldn't love that more frankly. And then he said it would of course have advanced social studies too. Advanced social studies — ASS. Oh, so he would build the Institute of TITS and ASS. I could not love this more. I couldn't love it more.

I don't know anything I would like more than this. Start with just the basic story. The idea that Elon Musk could get involved designing an institution of higher learning, I'm already on board. All right, I'm not just on board, I'm like jumping up and down on board. Really? Elon Musk might want to solve the biggest problem in the United States and maybe the world, that our education system morphed into something horrible, and maybe he could fix it because he seems to be good at fixing stuff. I mean that alone would be amazing. But if he names it something obscene, well I couldn't love it more. I could not love it more.

Well, famous rapper and actor 50 Cent is coming out a little bit pro-Trump. He says maybe Trump is the answer because he's blasting New York Mayor Eric Adams and he's not so happy about the migrant crisis. So he said he doesn't even understand all this stuff. He says he can't explain this. He's talking about the migrant crisis in New York. Can't explain this. I'm stuck. Maybe Trump is the answer. So there you go.

Now how many black voters do you think will actually consider Trump? I worry that I'm in a bubble and just because a few notable people like Snoop Dogg recently said a positive Trump thing, how much of a bubble am I in? Is this a real thing? Because I feel like I don't want to get ahead of the reality. I feel like there's certainly some prominent people who have said pro-Trump things that you didn't expect. That's real. But I don't know if they represent much in the public. I don't know if this is a 2% chance change or 5% change or what this is. But I will dovetail this into my story about — you all know that it wasn't long ago that the great replacement theory, that the immigrants were being brought into the country to replace Americans, and usually it's white Americans who think they're the ones getting replaced. So that's the theory. I'm not saying that I buy into that theory. I'll just say it exists. But Elon Musk is buying into it hard, at least in its current form, which is the open borders. And there does seem to be plenty of solid evidence that there are people who are doing this for political reasons. And I think we can now say, oh yeah, that this has at least one of the reasons — I don't know how many reasons there are — but at least one of the reasons is to change the voting mix so the Democrats win forever. And Elon Musk is saying that out loud.

Apparently Arizona is literally trying to do that right now. Arizona is trying to make it so that there's a push to make it legal for non-citizens in Arizona to vote only in the presidential election. That's pretty clear, isn't it? That they only wanted to vote in the presidential election. That's literally just about Trump and maybe the future, but that's pretty obvious. Ann Coulter points out that back in the 90s, I guess there was some Democrat who was saying it directly. If we open up immigration — I think during the Kennedy time there was talk about using immigration to increase the percentage of Democrats. So Democrats have been talking about immigration as a way to gain power since Kennedy and in writing in a way that we can verify. This is an actual conversation.

Now I had my take on it prior to the Biden administration, is that although there was a lot of illegal immigration, I didn't really think people were doing it primarily for that. I always thought it was more economic, both economic on the migrants' parts but also economic on America's part because we needed workers and it was just sort of a sketchy way to do it to get them. But now I fully buy in at the current rate and given that the administration is clearly letting people in intentionally. There's certainly no more mystery about whether they can't do it. Oh, there's no way we could stop them because the laws and I don't have any power. Even Bill Maher was mocking on his show Friday night, was mocking the people who don't understand that Biden could stop the border invasion anytime he wanted. And the important part here is that Bill Maher, deep in TDS on a lot of issues, has found his way out at least on the border issue. That doesn't make him pro-Trump, but he certainly understands that Trump was right on the border and that's pretty big.

So yeah, I think at this point we can say it's exactly what it looks like. It's a play to tip Texas, which would be the big one, maybe Florida. But I love the fact that Texas's response is to ship them to places that were already so blue that it made no difference to any elections. That's pretty clever. Not just to ship them to places that can share the pain but to ship them to places where they're electorally irrelevant. It's pretty smart. Send them to New York and Chicago and you don't lose anything vote-wise.

But what I'm wondering is will the Democrats gain enough voters from immigration, illegal immigration? Will they gain enough Democrat voters to make up for the number of black voters they're going to lose? What do you think? I don't know because I feel like black voters are largely locked in because it takes a miracle for anybody to change who they vote for. But if I had to guess there might be a 10% movement in the black vote toward Trump, maybe 10% tops. So you've got 10% of 13% of the country, right? Maybe 1.3% difference could be enough to change the vote. But then what about the illegals? So we've got 10 million illegals. Let's say you've got 10 million extra. We might have 25 million, who knows. But if you had 10 million illegals, how many of them are going to vote? I don't know. So there's not that — well let's say it's about the same number. Let's say the illegals and the number of black citizens of America are roughly the same. Are they about the same? I think it's in the same neighborhood. No it's not the same. Well immigration isn't 25% of the country. All right, so we'll argue a little bit about the numbers. But my question is does anybody understand the push and the pull, the net of this? Because I'm not 100% convinced the Democrats net out positive. What do you think?

I think that all it would take is one good narrative to just take 25% of the black vote. And the narrative would be — you just say what they say. By the way this is t
