d to talk about some of these stories. But there's another big one. Representative Jim Jordan's posting about it and I think Mike Benz is taking a victory lap for being the one who brought this to our attention. And this is what happened. Apparently the National Science Foundation, NSF, they had massive funding from the government to develop all these AI automated tools for censoring online speech…

y of the Nikki Haley stuff, in 2016 he was on recorded video saying that he can just grab them by the you know what. That's it. That's the evidence that Trump is the sexist.

Now let's compare that to what Nikki Haley has said out loud in public multiple times. If you need to get something done call a woman, she said that directly. Which one is sexist? A normal insult that Trump uses for every single person in the world like birdbrain or you know whatever he calls everybody else. The most normal thing. So by insulting Nikki Haley he is treating her exactly the way he treats men. And the AP said if you treat her exactly the way you treat men that's sexist. And they're actually trying to sell that. They're treating her the same way he treats everybody is sexist. While she in front of everybody says that you should vote for her in part because she has a vagina and that gives her an advantage over men who have penises. You know, not counting trans.

Yeah so this is such a perfect example of they always accuse you of what they're doing. Trump, correct me if I'm wrong, Trump has never once said that a woman would be less good at a job in any domain. You know maybe playing in the NBA or something. But ever has Trump ever said that in his employment at Trump you know the company Trump has he ever said that he didn't think that the women could do the job? Nope. He's actually quite famous for promoting women even way before it was fashionable. Is that fair to say that he was aggressively promoting women in his organization way before it was fashionable? True or false? I think that's just true. Now and never once has he uttered a single word that you could interpret as thinking that women would have some lesser ability for politics or running a big organization like his own. Never. Not once. But Nikki Haley says it in public more than once. So this is the perfect example of they always accuse you of what they're doing. I don't think this one could be any more clear.

Now does Trump say offensive sounding things when he thinks nobody's listening? Yeah, like every other person I've ever met in my life. Like every person I've ever met in my entire life. That's just how people talk when they think nobody's listening.

All right so the Mayorkas impeachment is going on now or impeachment attempt. Well we don't think that he will get impeached because it seems to be closer to something like an interpretation of policy than it does look like breaking the laws or something that would be impeachable. But the aggressiveness with which he's let's say misinterpreting the policies or interpreting them in a way that is most negative to the United States is very concerning. I don't understand why he would, given that you could interpret various laws differently, why would he always pick the worst way? Is that a coincidence? Why would he pick the way that's worse for the United States when his job is to protect us? And I think that alone should be impeachable. If you can't explain why all the things you do are bad for the United States it ought to be impeachable. I mean I get that it's not technically but I do like the fact that he's going through the process so we can all talk about him being impeachable. That's something you know at least it clarifies the situation for the public. Yeah it might not be a law but it's so bad that we think we need to run him through an impeachment process. That's how bad it is. Because it doesn't look like incompetence. No if you think this is incompetence I think that's the last possibility.

Well Rob Reiner continues to entertain. He had two posts at different times. One of them was about Trump and he said I don't know when but it must have been a while ago he posted the only reassuring thing about a pathological liar is when he says something you know it's not true. And then he says there is no crisis at the border. Now obviously Trump was saying there was a crisis at the border sometime in the past and so Rob Reiner wants you to know there is no crisis at the border. Also Rob Reiner later it's simple. Donald Trump and the House Republicans don't give a flying fuck about fixing our border problems. He said both of those things.

Now do you remember when you thought he was just a serious citizen who was involved in politics and you just disagreed with him? Now you know that's not what's happening right? You can see it now right? Yeah yeah you should not take him seriously as even a person with an opinion. He posts like it's his job. Like he just works for the CIA. I think your working assumption is that he's just an intelligence asset. It doesn't mean it's true but your working assumption probably should be something reasonable. If you think that these are reasonable opinions by just like a normal citizen it's clearly not because there's such a disconnect between what we know must be his intelligence because he's very successful with the way he talks. It's such a disconnect that there's no way he's just being dumb. All right there's something else going on but my assumption is it's just exactly what it looks like. It looks like somebody's working for the Democrats or the CIA or something. Don't know that for sure. I

t's just my working assumption. Now let's talk about this border bill that appears to be the worst thing anybody ever did. Kyle Bass and lots of other people are weighing in on it. I'll just tell you what Kyle said but you can see I don't know just dozens of other people say my God did you read what's in this bill? It's the opposite of what it's trying to do which is generally the case. Usually o…
