"performative"? It's now completely part of the Republican, let's say MAGA, pro-Trump world. We're seeing nothing but performance. This is completely artificial. And do you know how I know it's artificial? Because nobody's asking enough questions. Yeah, I saw one video where somebody talked to one protester and said, "Are you getting paid?" And then the one protester said, "Oh, yes, definitely be…

Nobody would come to these opinions on their own by thinking through what they've seen. Nobody. This is purely brainwashing and/or follow the money, some combination of those two things.
Anyway, the swatting of conservatives continues and maybe even is increasing. And now that people have the idea, I suppose it'll be worse. I did see somebody did an analysis of the opinions about Ukraine that the people who got swatted had. So a lot of the people who got swatted seem to have a very clear anti-Ukraine messaging. And do you think that's what it is? Do you think it's entirely a Ukraine kind of a thing? I don't know. I'm going to say that is at least in my top three possibilities.
But don't you think the government should be trying to figure that out? It would make sense because it is a chilling thing. All right, so for example, if I knew that anybody who said anything bad about Ukraine was getting swatted, would it make me less likely to say something bad about Ukraine? Well, if I were normal, yes. But since I'm not normal, Ukraine, if you guys are doing this, we better not find out. You know what I mean? We better not find out.
Now, I'm not going to say that they're doing it because I don't have any evidence of that. But if that were to come out, oh my God, that would not be for free. If you think that's a free punch, you're going to have a real surprise coming because that's going to be super expensive for Ukraine and super dangerous, because we would drop support really quickly. So Ukraine, if it is you, you better rethink this really quickly now. And again, I don't have any evidence this is Ukraine, so I'm not accusing Ukraine whatsoever. But if any evidence arrived, that's going to be really dangerous for Ukraine, maybe worse than Russia attacking. It's going to be really bad. So make sure you're not doing that, Ukraine.
Anyway, what else is going on here? Randy Weingarten is still on TV doing her performative thing, which she does. Was Randy Weingarten ever like a theater major? Did she have any background in the

theater? Because she really looks like an actress when she goes on TV. She emotes more than any normal person you've ever met. She puts on quite a show. So she's good at that, good at putting on a show, and obviously good at retaining power and maybe even really good for the teachers. I don't know. Maybe she's doing a good job for teachers, but it's not doing a good job for her students. That's no…
