of a more racist organization, like just overtly racist, than MSNBC? Actually I can't think of one. I actually can't think of any. Well, that's weird. It seems like there'd be some competition for the top spot, but there really isn't. Yeah, MSNBC is so blatantly racist that they're going after Laura Loomer now. Again, I'm not defending Laura Loomer. I know you're going to say the ADL. I thought o…

what's happening. So the Democrats are like, all right, you've got Laura Loomer, ha ha. And then we say, oh yeah, you've got Dick Cheney, ha ha. And then the Democrats say, well, you've got that terrible person Scott Adams. And then I say, oh yeah, you've got Adam Kinzinger. And then they say, we've got that terrible person, fill in the blank. I feel like there are enough terrible people according to other people that we could do this all day long.

All right, now here's the funniest story of the day. As I told you, that every meme about Trump is funny, and I don't know how it expands all generations. Whatever it is that's funny about Trump as a personality or a character or a meme or whatever, it works for every generation. And on TikTok today, this is real by the way. This sounds like I'm making it up, but it's real. There's a viral trend going on where the TikTokers, young ones like older teens, are dancing to Trump saying at the debate, "They're eating our dogs. They're eating our pets." And they've turned that into an autotune sort of a line that they dance with. So you can hear Trump's voice: "They're eating our dogs. They're eating our pets." And you see the people dancing: "They're eating our dogs. They're eating our pets." And it's freaking hilarious.

And where does that come from? Like where in the world of all the things that a TikToker could dance to, they pick that? And it works. It works. It's hilarious. And I watched several of them this morning, and I thought, oh, I'm glad I saw those. Those are pretty good. So that never gets old.

Anyway, are they eating our pets? Well, let me tell you how the news determines whether something is true. Would you like to see an example of me doing some investigative journalism? Watch. There's nothing behind that closed door. How do I know? Well, I don't see anything behind it. Well, but that's because the door is closed. So how could you see something behind the door if the door is closed? Well, there's no reports whatsoever of anything from behind the door. I know, but you wouldn't necessarily hear about it unless you talk to the right people, as in opening the door. But there's no indication there's anything behind the door. I know, but you can't know what's behind the door unless you open the door and look. I don't know. You sound like a conspiracy theorist because you're always thinking there's something behind the door when we've proven there's not. No, you didn't prove it. You didn't prove it. You simply stated it without checking. That's the opposite of proving. Proving would be doing something actively. Not doing something is called not proving it.

So yeah, we know that no dogs or cats are being eaten because some of the news people ask the government. They ask the government. Now I would like to put out at least an alternative hypothesis to the eating of the pets. There may have been somebody who tried to kill a goose at the park. I think that's likely. I mean, if you needed food and you're used to killing ducks and geese where you grew up and you saw a goose and it looked like it was free, I could see that happening. The cats and dogs part, especially the cats, seems like it's at least a little bit likely to be a mass hysteria. I know, I know, I'm a broken record. Mass hysterias everywhere. So it could be that I'm just filtered that way, so I see mass hysterias because my brain is kind of tuned to look for them. That's how I knew that there would be no information about a secret sonic weapon at the embassies, because that was really a classic mass hysteria, even with all

the evidence that there was something real happening. And maybe there's something real happening, but the odds of it being a secret sonic weapon were really not very high. Now, could I be wrong and someday they'll find a secret sonic weapon? Sure, because unlike the news, I do not declare that something doesn't exist simply because I haven't seen it. What I did predict is that they wouldn't find…
