million is going to be really really good for the country if we get the best people from other countries etc. But I don't think we can do that with DEI. I think as long as DEI is in place you're not going to get the best people coming to this country. It's definitely going to be a little bit of a gating factor I would think. All right so just keep an eye on it. And if I were the Republicans here'…

to have committed. But I didn't know this. Did you know that in a TV interview at some point wasn't recently but Justice official Michael Sherwin he said quote our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe meaning that the sentences were extra stiff. Shock and awe. It worked because we saw through the media posts that people were afraid to come back to DC because they're like if we go there we're going to get charged. We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.

Does any of that sound like justice? No no that's not even close. I can't even believe he said this out loud. Can you believe somebody said that in public that we charged them to make an example of them basically? Well that should be enough reason to let them all out. Yeah. Have you asked yourself what that day would look like? Imagine a Trump victory. Imagine he signs the whatever document to free them all and imagine you actually watch the video of all of them leaving jail. Just hold that in your mind. You just see them all just streaming out of jail. Yeah that if I wouldn't care about anything else in this election but that. That's the one thing you got to get right or I don't care about anything else. Don't even want to live here if they stay in jail. I don't even want to live in this country. You got to get that right then we'll talk about taxes and immigration wars and stuff. Very important but not as important as this. Not as important as freeing those political prisoners. That's my number one. That's my number one.

And if you told me Trump is a rapist and he continues to rape people every day I'd still support him because of just that one thing. There's nothing you could tell me about Trump you know whether it's true or not true that would make me not be willing to free those prisoners if he's the only one willing to do it. If nobody else is willing to do it he's your man. And I don't care what else you say. Is he a felon? Do you think I care? Do you think I care if he gets convicted? No. I care that he lets the January 6 people out of jail. Do you think I care that he didn't do enough about fentanyl? I do care but it wouldn't make any difference in my vote because nobody else is doing anything either. And I think it's obvious that we want that to happen. We meaning whoever actually runs the country has decided that that's an acceptable expense of lives. Yeah no there's nothing you can tell me about Trump that would make any difference to my support of him as long as the January 6ers are in jail. Nothing else matters. In fact if I were running for president I wouldn't even say anything else. I just say you know what I will do for president? You've already seen it. I'm going to let these guys out of jail. Now that would probably only work for the Republicans right so it probably wouldn't let him get elected. The Democrats would say ah you insurrectionist. But yeah if you're on the political right and you put anything above that issue I don't know how you do it. But what is a higher issue than people who have your opinion being put in jail? That's basically what's happening. There's nothing higher than that. Nothing.

All right. You know you thought that Fortran was an old computer language from the 70s. Does anybody remember Fortran? Well now there's a new name for it and wokeness is telling us about a family that has four children and they're all trans. All four, all four kids are trans. Yeah. Let's see let's calculate the odds. Odds of having one trans kid one in 3,000 according to End Wokeness. The odds of having four, all four, it's not just four but it's all four 100%. It's let's see do the math 3,000 to the fourth power. That'd be one in 187 billion. So there's this video of the very proud parents. Oh my God are they proud that they reversed the genders of all of their children. All four of them. And they're beaming with pride and they made a video because they're so proud they'd like you to share in their glory. Yeah and that's legal now.

Let's show this story to the migrants and say hey if you vote Democrat you can have this too. We can reverse the genders of all of your children and here's the good part we don't even have to check in with you. We can do it while they're at school literally.

All right. Over 73% of registered voters think Biden is too old including 56% of Democrats. And it's a new poll but it's in line with other polls. And I love the fact that the Democrats are still pretending there's nothing wrong. We're getting closer and closer to that Monty Python skit aren't we? That parrot is dead. No it's not. Now why isn't that more of a meme? All right I challenge you. I want you to find the Monty Python dead parrot sketch and I want you to use AI to replace the parrot's head with Joe Biden's head. Can you do that for me? It's all I ask today. Just use AI and do that skit but it's got to be Biden's head as the little parrot who's dead. Well

Context —

he's dead. No he's not. Now here's a thing that I think Trump has figured out which is things are so absurd that mockery is the only right answer. Like defending yourself would be just stupid. You should just mock how insanely stupid it is and how they're playing you for stupid because they're really playing you for stupid. Seriously playing you for stupid. All right. There's a New York Times Si…
