going to be the head of the border stuff, he was challenged by I guess a Denver mayor Mike Johnston because Mike Johnston said he's not going to let the citizens of his city who are maybe undocumented — he's not going to let them be rounded up, taken to jail, and that people like him will be putting their bodies in the way basically, protesting in a physical way. And he doesn't care if he has to go to jail for it. He's willing to go to jail to defy Trump's deportation operation.

So somebody asked Tom Homan about the fact that the Denver mayor is willing to go to jail to stop deportation. And Tom Homan without cracking a smile says, and I paraphrase, well at least we found something we agree on. He's willing to go to jail and I'm willing to put him in jail. And may I drop my mic there? Mic drop. Yes, Tom Homan. That was kind of perfect communication right there. Yeah, Tom Homan is good in general. He's a good communicator. But every now and then he'll hit like a base-clearing home run. That's a base-clearing home run. Yep. We agree. You're willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put you there. What's next? Nicely done communication-wise.

I'm talking about I saw a video of Tulsi Gabbard and I didn't remember she did this but when she was talking about why she was leaving the Democrat Party and she mentioned there were warmongers which didn't make sense for her and that they were too woke. But also she said directly that they were anti-white racist. The Democrat Party. I don't remember her saying that directly but I'd like to thank her because that's both honest and true. So yes the Democrats are an anti-white racist party. I see them as racists primarily anyway.

So speaking of verbally being good, there's this representative Van Orden who was being challenged by a CNN guy. CNN host was asking about Trump's tariffs and that Trump's tariffs would increase food prices. So how would you answer that? Because everybody's worried about the price of eggs and whatnot. So food prices are you could argue our number one Main Street kind of issue. And Trump's talking about tariffs and tariffs would increase prices. Everybody understands that. And here's what Representative Van Orden said. Quote: "I'm willing to pay more for guacamole if it means fentanyl poison doesn't come across our border."

Oh wow. Oh wow. Now that's some good communicating. Now is it sort of accurate? No. Well no, I mean it's not guacamole to fentanyl. If it were only guacamole to fentanyl we would all eat fewer avocados and we wouldn't notice because we just eat other stuff. But the bigger problem is that all food prices or enough of the food goes up in price that it hits everybody. So it's certainly not as easy as avoiding avocados. However when Representative Van Orden puts it in that term it is so linguistically excellent in terms of an argument. So this is just a persuasion lesson. I'm not talking about the policy, just about the persuasion and the communication. So nice job.

So I'm going to — this raises my flag. So I've never heard of Representative Van Orden before but he said a second thing. He said about fentanyl he said everyone is now one degree of separation from somebody who died from a fentanyl death. I think that's close to true. That pretty much everybody knows somebody. I mean in my case my stepson, but you all know me so every one of you who knows me knows you're one degree away. And most of you know somebody else who is one degree away.

Now both of those sentences are really strong. You know of all the things you could have said about this topic Van Orden reached into the middle and picked out two of the best. That probably is not a coincidence. So what I'd ask you, just keep an eye on this guy because this is unusually good communication and when you see that it's usually a leading indicator you're going to see more of this person. So keep an eye on him.

Rob Reiner has allegedly deleted his account on X after Trump won. Breitbart News is reporting this and we think he's probably going over to Blue Sky. I think he is. Is that confirmed? I don't know. But Blue Sky is the new competitor to X. Jack Dorsey's new product and it's apparently the uptick is pretty good. It's getting a lot of people. But I just want to point out something that somebody pointed out in the comments to me earlier. You can be on X or you can be on Blue Sky. What would be the initials for Blue Sky if you're going to use an acronym? Blue Sky. Well I would use the B. I probably use the S from sky. That would be — oh it's literally BS.

All right but here's the thing I think is funny. If Blue Sky had started in a let's say an organic way where it was just a product and everybody had a chance to use it if they liked it they use it some more, they would probably have a normal mix of left and right political people because everybody would have seen it as just the product so it's not political it's just a product. But because we're highly politicized especially at the moment people see Blue Sky as where the good and noble Democrats can go and they see X as that polluted right-wing conspiracy place. So presumably Blue Sky now has the greatest number of people with mental health issues of any platform ever. And I mean that seriously. I would bet you any amoun
