omes available? You going to sign up for that? Here's a problem. Are you like me? You've lost all faith in everything medical. I just don't believe anything from a doctor or the science or the — just I've lost all credibility is just gone. I don't know what to do about that. Let's talk about the fake news. So the Washington Post had a big shakeup. They had a new attitude. And here's the funny par…

so the staff said, I don't know about that white man. Have you talked to anybody who wasn't a white man? Because we don't really think we're comfortable having a white man there unless you worked really, really hard to make sure it wasn't a white man and there was just nothing you could do about it. He was just the only person who could do this job. And we're kind of frankly a little bit skeptical that there's not a single diverse candidate in the whole world who could be in this job as editor of the Washington Post.

So I only bring it because it's funny to watch DEI eat the Washington Post. Remember, the Washington Post is who started the cancellation of Dilbert. They're the ones who made the big difference anyway. And they're getting eaten by their own philosophy. So sad.

So Alex Soros, who's now in charge of the big Soros funding, he retweeted or reposted an article in The Atlantic, and the title was "Trump's Plan to Supercharge Inflation." Now I didn't read the article because if you actually read an article in a publication called The Atlantic — oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that happened to you. Now you don't read the articles. Now The Atlantic, if you didn't know, is your biggest signal for fake news, maybe the fakest of all the fake. The Atlantic is going to do the stuff that even MSNBC would be too embarrassed to do. So that in terms of the pure propaganda, you know they're all the way in the pure propaganda. Something like the AP or even CNN, they might be biased, but The Atlantic is not in the category of we have a preference. No, they're just outright propaganda.

Now if you didn't know that, you would think, oh, this is something to consider. Maybe Trump will supercharge inflation. And by the way, I'm not saying he won't because I don't think any of our leaders have any control of the debt at this point. But here's the other thing I always wondered: how the Democrats got their marching orders. Like how do they know what to say so that they're all saying the same thing? And I guess we know. So what it takes is Alex Soros, who is the

ir main source of funding — he's like the biggest source of funding for the Democrats — he simply posts something on social media and points to an article, and then that's the talking point. So watch for the talking point to be that Trump's going to make inflation worse. Now you notice that the fakest of the fake news will always go after whatever is the Democrat's weakest point, and then they'll…
