t today. Spaces will be on Sunday after the show.

There are several stories in the news today about trans, and I'm going to ignore all of them because I feel manipulated. You know what I mean? Every time I see a trans story of any kind, I think to myself, you know, it was only a few years ago there were zero, and then suddenly it's like one of the main things in the news. There's no way that's organic, and there's no way that's national news. All right, there's somebody who's trans and somebody called them the wrong pronoun. I don't care. No interest whatsoever in individual trans stories.

President Trump, the ultimate crowd pleaser, the man who can read the room better than anybody, says plastic straws are back. Let me tell you how genius that is. Plastic straws have to be one of the most popular things in the country, and everybody tried the paper ones and didn't like them. So the beauty of this is not just that it's popular but it's visceral. See, this is what Trump does that you don't notice. When you think of the plastic straw, you can feel it, right? It's like a feeling. You can almost taste it. You can taste your beverage, you know, in your mind. So when he does this visual imagery that evokes taste and feeling, that's really strong. You can never forget that kind of stuff.

Now let's compare Trump saying plastic straws are back, and you've got this whole visual image and you're happy about it. And it's not the biggest thing in the world, but it's absolutely what you wanted. Now compare that to Elizabeth Warren, who did a post in which she was talking about DOGE and she's fighting against it. Now watch this terrible communication. All right, this is from a post on X. Elizabeth Warren, Senator Warren: "I often talk about righteous fights." Some kind of concept. "Make no mistake, we are in one." A what? A righteous fight. Okay, that's nice and generic. I can't taste it, feel it, see it. I won't remember those words tomorrow. "This fight will be long." Okay, you're telling me I'm going to feel bad. "Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize." Okay, concepts, concepts, concepts. "But when things get tough again," you're telling me it's going to be hard. "There is only one option ahead of us." There's never one option ahead of you. That's kind of dumb even as a concept. "Nevertheless, we must persist."

You see what I'm saying, right? Let me give it to you back to back. Trump: I'm bringing back plastic straws. Got it. Elizabeth Warren: I often talk about righteous fights and make no mistake we are in one. This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize. But when it gets tough, when it gets tough, there's only one option. God, learn to communicate. Will you learn to communicate? How in the world is she one of their strongest Democrats when she can't put a sentence together that anybody would want to care about?

Meanwhile, ICE has arrested 11,000 illegal migrants according to the New York Post. So they're putting them in all kinds of different places. But that's just in the first 18 days. They got 11,000, mostly criminals who mostly would have reoffended because criminals reoffend. Did they basically get rid of, let's say if they reoffended twice a year, did we get rid of 20,000 crimes? That feels like a lot. I mean, I get that it's a big country and we have a lot of crimes, but 20,000 crimes? How are you not in favor of that? 20,000 criminals, especially the gangs.

You know, there's some people who say that the gang thing, the Tren de Aragua or whatever it is, are so viral that if they get enough of a foothold in your country they can start controlling your government. And we weren't very far away from that. It would have only taken a little bit, you know, maybe a few more years, and they would have control over local governments through threats and violence. Anyway, so glad we're getting them now.

One of the stories that people had the most interest in yesterday was that Trump revoked Biden's security clearance. Now you might remember that Biden revoked Trump's security clearance, saying oh, he can't be trusted. So Trump returns the favor, which I'm totally in
