er and could be stars. But it seems to me that the CNN hosts, none of them have an audience. If they were to leave, I think they would all turn into Don Lemon. And you would find that it was CNN that made them famous and successful. I mean, if successful is the right word. Whereas at Fox, the talent made the network. At CNN, the network makes the talent well known. It seems opposite. Is that a fair generalization? Might be too far, but you know, there's so many obvious examples of it.

Anyway, Rachel Maddow says that they made a difficult decision for what she calls a news organization. So she calls MSNBC, her employer, a news organization. Okay. And while she's lying about it being a news organization, she says she doesn't want them, that the network has decided not to air all of the Trump speeches because of all the things he might say that are untrue. And she said that in the context of claiming they're a news organization.

Now, if you were underinformed, if you look at the design of it, it doesn't look like it's designed to be news. It looks like it's designed as propaganda that's supposed to look like it's also news. Now, you could argue that maybe some other entities are the same, but it's the one that's most obviously not really news. It's most obviously just some kind of Intel-driven, government-Democrat-driven propaganda machine that just happens to be in the news domain.

Then over at The View, Senator Fetterman went on The View and just slapped them down on this lawfare stuff. According to Fox News, he said the judicial system gets weaponized and targeted political enemies for political gain. So he was saying that the New York charges, all 34 felony counts, which is what the Democrats like to say, Fetterman just swept away all 34 felony counts by saying obviously just lawfare. There's no way they would have taken anybody else to court for that. Basically just on her head on live TV and walked away. I'm just liking Fetterman now.

Some people are saying, hey, you know, maybe he'll turn into a Republican because he's got some skills that seem to go both ways. But as he pointed out, he's got a number of policies that wouldn't be compatible with Republicans. So he's not going to change. But my smartest Democrat friend, who I often mention, I've been wanting to catch up with him because I thought surely by now, surely by now a normal smart person watching the news would realize that Trump is doing what the public wants him to do by quite a big majority. He's the most popular he's ever been, and things are happening that look good. So I was expecting, oh, this is going to be good next time I see him. Oh my God, or hear from him. I'm going to have my victory lap and I won't even have to say a thing. I won't even have to make my argument. I'll just be like, told you so.

Instead, I got an email saying that he was planning ahead to the next race and which Democrat, and he gave a list of them, which Democrat did we think was going to be the best candidate. And he said that once Trump has completely embarrassed and destroyed the country, that we'll be ready for a Pete Buttigieg. And I said, seriously, Pete Buttigieg? That would be your strongest guy? That almost sounds like a joke. I mean, really, of all the people in the world. And then he said, but maybe he can't get elected because he's gay. And then I said, well, how many Republicans were going to vote for him? It wouldn't matter if he was gay or not gay. No Republicans going to vote for him. So aren't you saying that the Democrats are anti-gay? I think he just called his own party anti-gay, because all he has to do is get all the Democrat votes, right? Aren't there more Democrats than, oh, maybe that changed. Actually, I don't know that. I thought there were more Democrats than Republicans, but did that change? Did it change this season? Anyway.

But when you see that other world and you get a peek at it, you think they really don't have anything. Because if a smart, well-informed person on that side, and again he's very smart, if we were to compare IQs, I think he'd beat me. But wow, Pete Buttigieg? Really? Yeah, forget about the gay part. And I've never talked to anybody who cared about that. But how can he possibly win? I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Could be that I'm the one who's being silly.

AOC was trying her best to come up with something that she could say that doesn't sound dumb about Trump. But this is the best she came up with. She said the norms are starting to embrace Trump. The norms are embracing him. Why would you form that sentence? Let me fix that sentence. Trump has popular policies. Trump is doing popular things. People like it. That's the way you say that. Here's the way you say it if you're just being weird. The norms are embracing Trump. That's sort of like saying the car ran over somebody and the knife stabbed somebody and the gun killed somebody. I really think it's the person doing the thing. It's not the thing doing the person, is it? Did the norms form into some kind of amorphous gaseous entity and did it then embrace Trump? Oh, the norms are embracing you. No, it's just words. What the hell.

The Democrats are so lost. So lost. It's just crazy. The best they have is word salad. And I think the Nazis watch CNN, believe he's a Nazi.

So Trump gave a speech yesterday to a Republican group, and he was on the stage for most of the time with Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise. And I just had a moment while I was watching that. Do you realize that of those three, Scalise, Trump, and Johnson, two out of three Republican leaders have been shot? Two out of three of the top Republican leaders have been shot. I mean, my mind is boggled. Like really? Shot? Two out of three? Like I don't even have a comment on that, but that's the world we live in. God.

One of the things Trump did that is vexing if you're a supporter, as I am, but it's also so on point with what he does, he starts by teasing that, you know, he can't run for a third term, but you know, maybe he can. You know, he needs to check that out. Now, I think he's kidding, but whether he's kidding or not, you know that's what the bad guys are going to pick up on, and they're going to be running around in a circle saying that you want a third term. I think he does that intentionally, right? Because he doesn't have the ability to be uninteresting. Trump is genetically interesting. Everything he does is a little bit interesting. And so he's just giving a talk, and he throws out the reddest of all red meat. I might run for a third term. You know, never leave office. I think he's just trolling and keeping them talking about the least important thing that's not real in any way. But wow.

Trump said he was talking about CNN at the same speech, and Trump says they say we had the greatest first week in presidential history. Even CNN is saying this guy is amazing. I said, did CNN really say that? But nobody watches, so nobody was able to confirm. That'
