y and energy go together. So when you see how much energy was put into the DJT stock, that's the story. It's not even a dollar thing. It's the energy. That energy is unmistakable and growing. Meanwhile Trump got hit with a gag order in New York over his Stormy Daniels quote hush money case because he said some things in public slamming the judge. Thank you. Thank you for the gag order. What do yo…

said you know what I worked on this equality but the more I think about it maybe we should take a different approach. If she said that I'd be fine with it. Because somebody in their 30s who changes their mind about what works because they tried the other thing and it didn't work, that would be a strong signal. Very strong signal. I like people who can change their minds and do it publicly and show their work. So if something like that happened it would be awesome.

But I'm a little bit worried about the background and racial equality and the fact that she lists that on, I don't know if that means DEI in any way or not. But she is also big into regenerative agriculture because we have to fix our food supply and RFK Jr. is right about that. Maybe the biggest issue in the world, food supply and the quality of it and children's and maternal health. Those are things she's interested in. Those are good. And she's worked on behalf of honest governments. Well good luck with that, right?

So let's see in the comments what's your opinion of his VP pick. Have you had any time to do that? Are you worried that she was once married to a founder of Google and Google's Gemini AI tells you what Google's all about, that they're sort of a racist cesspool? Yeah. So Google being a racist cesspool, I don't think they can correct themselves. But you wonder if Sergey was part of that and if you're married to that are you part of that world? Did you come out of the racist cesspool world right into the vice president role? That would be a bad look.

So I very much want to support RFK Jr. at least on the policy level, even if he doesn't have a legitimate shot at the top job. And by the way he does. Don't let us sneak up on you. RFK Jr. is not a long shot. He's not a long shot like whatever you think is a long shot he's not that. No, he has an absolute walking path to the White House. The walking path is that Biden falls apart, there's not enough time to replace him, and Trump gets some bigger attack or scandal that the public believes. What are the odds that there's some new hoax about Trump brewing right now? 100 percent. What are the odds that a huge part of the country will believe the hoax at least initially? 100 percent. Certainly all the Democrats. So you know a hoax is brewing. You know that a big part of the country is going to believe it because they always do. They always fall for it again. And you might see the two main candidates so bruised by election day that anything could happen. Anything could happen.

But I'm very uncomfortable with the VP choice so I would say it's a move backwards. What would you say? I would say that my casual support for RFK Jr. as not just a personality, seemingly a good person to have in the fight, but also policy-wise, there was a lot to like, not all of it but a lot to like, I think it's a step backwards. But it might be a step forward for his base and it might help him fund things and it might help him get on the ballot. So it could help his campaign. That part I don't know. But my own opinion of the package goes down a little bit with the choice.

And by the way I'm sure she's very smart and very good at what she does. That's not really the issue. So at least he picked quality and he picked youth. So I would say those are

two pluses. He picked smart and he picked young. I don't hate that. And somebody who wasn't a creature of Washington DC. I don't hate that. So there's a lot to like about it but there's just a huge red flag with this racial equality background stuff. Now if you're new to my show and you just casually came in and you heard me mocking racial equality, it's not because I don't want people to be equa…
