ke a meat ax. Oh that's pretty masculine. Maybe a teaspoon. So I think Chuck would say maybe not the meat ax. How about a teaspoon and make sure your pinky is up. Speaking of masculinity I forgot to brag so I don't want to lose that option today. I told you the story about Clay Travis was at some event. He was on stage and he made the point that the Democrats have a problem with the male vote bec…

lways feel I don't have a good answer. Because on one hand I think you know maybe if I spent a lot of time with somebody I might be able to move him a little bit but I've never had that experience. I've never experienced changing anybody's mind like while I'm talking to him. I don't think words work. Words don't really talk anybody out of anything most of the time especially in politics when you're locked in.

But then I saw a suggestion from a user on X called Bill in Daytona. And Bill says I've recommended to my liberal friends to lift weights. Testosterone goes a long way toward curing liberalism. That's actually scientifically true. If you increase the testosterone at least in men if you increase their testosterone they do become more conservative. They do become more Republican. That's a fact. So my new answer to the question how do you persuade a liberal to become a conservative if it's a man see if you can convince them to lift weights or do what Zuckerberg did you know get into MMA fighting or just do something that's going to build your testosterone and the rest will take care of itself. Because I think the Democrats are largely the party of I can't do it by myself I need some help. And the Republicans are largely I can do it by myself just get the government out of my way. So how you feel about your own confidence and abilities completely determine if you'd be better off getting helped or better off getting the government out of your way. And the testosterone is completely determinant of whether you feel confident and powerful to make things happen on your own. So yes the more you can get people to lift weights the more likely they're going to be pro-Trump. That's absolutely true scientifically. That's a very clean approach.

Elon Musk said something interesting. Well he always does. But apparently he's had top secret clearance for years. I guess Biden gave it to him in 2022. We don't know why. I assume it's because of SpaceX. But here's what he said that is really interesting. He said I've had top secret clearance for many years and here's the fun part and have clearances that themselves are classified. What? There's something higher than top secret? He's seen things that even people with the top security clearance in the government haven't seen. An

d not only did they not see it they didn't even know there's a higher classification. What? What do you know? What that makes me think, I don't believe that we've captured any alien technology. I don't believe we have. But when I hear this I go huh. Suppose you had just hypothetically suppose you actually had an alien spacecraft with alien technology. Who would you want to show it to to see if the…
