nd them. So nobody is completely natural but Republicans talk and act and think like Republicans. But Democrats have this weird thing where the most prominent part of their party are just theater kids and they try to sell their ideas with their faces. Have you noticed that? If you listen to a Republican trying to sell a policy they'll say well if we do this and that we'll get this impact so that's…

for the next year or two in the worst possible way but when we're done we're going to be on solid ground and prices will drift down and we need to do this is the only way to survive. You can't really sell that because all the public would hear is what about the price of my eggs? Okay I just said they'd go up. What about the price of my gas? Well it might go up but the only way we can get to a point where it's domestic manufacturing and all the things we need to reduce cost like creating more energy the only way we get there is through this hard road so we got to do it. Well you can't really sell that so I expect it to get a little worse before it gets better. So that would be the most natural outcome.

Trump said he's considering a free trade agreement with Argentina. I guess that means no tariffs and no duties and no VAT taxes. So that would be a big deal. I can't imagine that Milei of Argentina would say no to that because he's a free market guy so is Trump. So I like the fact that Trump is saying this part of the world no tariffs. I like that a lot. That's a really good way to run a continent.

Well here's a seriously disturbing note. So Representative Nancy Mace who's talked about this in public before so I don't know the details but my understanding is she was a victim of a horrific sex related crime with multiple people and maybe the suggestion that there was a videotape. So drugged, raped and videotaped. Now that's what people are saying. I don't know the details but she said this in a post on X. I understand video or videos may have been released via media outlet tonight. I hope this warrants the state to search for certain devices and certain tapes at a certain location. What is she suggesting? That the crime against her might be on video and that somebody may be releasing it today. Now I assume it'd be censored at least a little bit but I got to say I certainly admire her guts. The fact that she's taking ownership of what had to be the most horrific thing that ever happened to her I'm guessing. The fact that instead of just avoiding it or not talking about it she's going right at it. She wants you to know what happened and it looks like she wants you to know who it was. And I feel like she knows who it was but I don't know if she's for any reason decided not to talk about it yet. But if this video comes out there will be faces on the screen and they won't all be hers if it is her at all. We're speculating. That's what it looks like.

Well this is funny. According to Retro Coast when DOGE tried to remove the credit cards from government employees I guess it was the Department of Defense who was running up all kinds of entertainment and booze and travel on their government credit cards like a lot like just totally out of control because nothing's audited it seems like. So they tried to just remove the credit cards from government employees but some kind of federal judge blocked it. So instead of removing the credit cards they just reset the limit to one dollar. So they can keep their credit cards but it's only a one dollar limit per month. Well maybe just one dollar.

According to Rasmussen 61% believe that an audit of the Social Security system would reveal widespread fraud in the program. 61%. That means there are 39% who don't expect widespread fraud in our Social Security. They are very optimistic. In many ways that's the best DOGE endorsement you could get. The 61% thinking audit of the Social Security is going to find massive fraud. That is quite an endorsement of why don't you look at everything and find that fraud for us. So I like that.

Meanwhile a NASA scientist according to Brighter Side of News and Joseph Shavit is reporting on a propellantless propulsion for rockets, space rockets. And propellantless means it's not based on stuff exploding out the rocket's ass to drive it forward. Rather it generates thrust using electric fields rather than expelling mass. So the thinking is if they can perfect this it would be just this enormous leap forward in space travel because you wouldn't need to have fuel that you're burning. It probably would be easier to generate electricity which in turn would manipulate these electric fields. So I think they surprised themselves how well it worked.

All right ladies and gentlemen that is what I have for today. Thank you for joining another tight hour of fun. I'm going to say hi to the people on Locals privately but the rest of you thanks for joining on Rumble and YouTube and X. And Locals coming at you in 30 seconds. I'll definitely be watching the president tonight. I don't know if I'll stream it. Probably not.
