ting ingesting household disinfectants. You don't need to look at the details. On the surface those could only be believed by people who are literally hypnotized. Now I don't mean that they sat in the chair and somebody did a hypnosis induction, but they're not operating in the real world. They're operating in an imaginary world in their head. And you can identify it by whether or not they embrace things like the fine people hoax and the Nazi salute. As soon as you find somebody who does, it doesn't matter what their IQ is. They're trapped because they can't use their IQ. Their IQ just gets turned off by the hypnosis.

So let me modify my statement. I said that all the smart people are on one side, meaning that even if they don't like everything about Trump, they can recognize that what he's doing are exactly the things we need to have done even if it's messy. And it will be messy. And they know that cutting the government budget is not a want, it's a necessity. We have to do it. And they know that cutting it in a way that's painful to a lot of people is unfortunately 100% required. There's no way around it. So all the smart people who are not hypnotized are on the same side now. So you have to add the not hypnotized.

Let me give you an example. So here's AOC just gave a little video in which she said, I swear I'm not making this up, she was talking about Elon Musk and she said about Elon Musk, quote, he is one of the most unintelligent billionaires I've ever met or seen. Then she added that Elon has a quote lack of intelligence and lack of expertise and is quote morally vacant but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of. Okay, does that sound like a real person talking? Do I need to give the counterargument about how Elon Musk actually is smart? No. You could just look at this and say, all right, either you're completely corrupt and you're just trying to save the USAID with a crazy argument or you're hypnotized. Or you're like my, you know, I use this example a lot. When I enter a room the lights go on. Sometimes I use my voice to use it with my digital assistant. Sometimes I hit the switch on the wall. Sometimes the lights are motion detected. And my dog doesn't know why the lights come on when I enter rooms. The only thing my dog knows is that when she wants me to give her a treat, which is every single time I walk past her and I don't give her a treat, I must be stupid. Oh my God, I must be the least intelligent human I've ever met or seen. My dog thinks my lack of intelligence and lack of expertise in giving dogs treats is morally vacant but also I might be the least knowledgeable thing about the systems involving treats for my dog. It's just so entertaining watching otherwise normal people go into complete retardation. This is impressive.

Nicole Shanahan was on comic Dave Smith's podcast and said there's some mystery about Bernie Sanders. And she said, I quote, this is Nicole Shanahan, I asked myself, was Bernie a scab all along? Was he a deep state plant? Now she's just asking the question. She's not saying that he is. But the mystery is why does Bernie act the way he does, especially lately? Like what's behind it all? Was he always being run by somebody else? Is he still being run by somebody else and he's just a cutout for something? Now I don't know the answers to any of it. But here's what I think is funny. That we've narrowed down what's wrong with Bernie to four possibilities. We meaning all of us. Four possibilities. I don't know which it is. One, Bernie is a deep state scab and always was. Two, he's an idiot with good intentions. Three, he's an idiot with bad intentions. Or four, he's a deep state scab and also an idiot with bad intentions. Those are the only possibilities. You can completely rule out he's an honest broker with good ideas that are different from yours. Yeah, there's something going on and whatever it is, it's bad. So four choices.

Well, I didn't know there's a DOGE subcommittee in Congress, but apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene is the House chair of the DOGE Committee in subcommittee, I guess, and is going to invite in NPR's Katherine Maher, that's the head of NPR, and PBS's Paula Kerger to testify about their bias. Now this is in the context of one of the, is it PBS or NPR? I forget. Uri Berliner, which is he NPR I think. He's NPR. He was suspended because he complained about the bias in his employer. And now he's apparently now resigned. But he said that they, his employer went from a liberal knee-jerk, that went from being biased, you know, sort of liberal leaning, which you know we understand everybody's biased so that's not the worst thing, but it went from being just liberal to a knee-jerk activist scolds. And he couldn't handle that anymore. Was that PBS or NPR? Those are being conflated in my mind anyway. Doesn't matter because I'm sure it was the same at both places. So we'll see what comes out of that.

There are more DOGE updates coming. There's something about the Department of Education that's going to be gutted or removed. The EPA might have a thousand employees could be gone. There's something about the NED. Probably going to hear three more things. The best thing that DOGE is doing besides the good work they're doing is that they're keeping that Overton window so rapid that the news can't use their main trick to brainwash the public. The main trick of the news is repetition. If they repeat something enough, their viewers think it must be true. I mean it couldn't be on the news every single night unless it's true. Like somebody would have at some point said, hey this isn't true. But if you're on CNN or MSNBC they don't bring on the opposite voices that often. So although CNN does a real effort to do it but it's always a minority voice. As long as they don't have too many people too often talking on the other side, they can just keep hitting their hoaxes until you think they're true.

But they can't do that and also pretend they're a news organization unless they cover all the new news because you're not going to turn on MSNBC if they're talking about what happened last month. You're looking for the new news. So as long as DOGE and Trump keep creating new news and it's like a fire hose, they have to spend time on it. And so Trump and Musk are using up all their shelf space. You know they only have this so much time and each show only has so much time and they got to cover the news. There's nothing left for the endless repeating of the hoaxes. So if you take away their endless repeating of hoaxes, it essentially neuters the entire monster because it's their main tool. Their main tool is repetition of thi
