shing people? So the Nazi strategy that Schumer is using and the Democrats are using is that they first must convince you that public opinion polls are driven by people's independent assessment of what's going on. Nothing like that's happening. Individual voters are not making any independent assessments based on their research and their knowledge of economics. Nothing like that's happening. It is…

ye on that. We'll check in in a week.

You might know that there was yet another judge who yet again ruled against Trump saying that the Trump administration can't arrest any more illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest. Now, that's sort of not the way the process works for people who are here illegally. You don't really need a warrant for their arrest. You can just determine that they're not here legally and ship them back. But this judge ruled that you do need a warrant. And then it took a few days, but that judge got Loomered. So Laura Loomer did the classic thing where she checked on the spouse. This works so often that I love it. There's a word for it, being Loomered. It means if you're a judge or some official and you do something that looks sketchy, it means Laura Loomer is going to ask what your spouse does for a living and you're going to find out there's something sketchy going on there with the couple. Sure enough, the husband of that judge is a multifamily real estate broker in California. And guess what market he caters to? Illegal aliens and the immigrant community. And he even makes Instagram videos about how Trump's mass deportation policies are bad for multifamily real estate brokers and investors. And of course, the judge was appointed by Biden in 2021. Now, it's almost so predictable that you don't even need Laura Loomer to do it anymore. You could just in your mind imagine it like, okay, there's a judge that ruled against Trump. I'm going to imagine that the judge has a spouse and the spouse is either a gigantic donor to the DNC or somehow makes money with a charity or a business that serves the illegal immigrant community. Am I right? Yes. Yes. Pretty much every time. So as long as you can shop for a judge, you can find a judge who has just the right spouse.

Speaking of RFK Jr. making news, he also said he was on a Dr. Phil show and he said that sugar is poison. He said sugar is like crack. He said it's poison. Now, you know that I always say alcohol is poison, but when I started saying that, I didn't know that there was already a book that came out long ago before I started saying alcohol is poison that said sugar is poison. So sugar is poison is sort of the OG something is poison. So I think he probably was familiar with that book. But when you have the US Secretary of Health and Human Services say sugar is like crack, I feel like maybe something will happen. I don't know what. There's no specific policy associated with it, but I like where he's heading. So far, I'm very happy with RFK Jr., very happy. I think he's pushing all the right buttons. Now, he's not going to be right 100% of the time, but that's not really the standard I'm going to hold him to. I'm going to hold him to the standard of is he looking in every closet for things that might be hiding in closets? And the answer is he seems to be. He seems to be willing to open every closet door and see what the hell's in there. So as long as he's doing that and he's being completely transparent about it and he's sharing what he found, you can't get better than that, you know? So asking him to be right about everything he's ever said in the past and right about everything he says in the future, that's not really a standard you could hold anybody to. But boy, if you see somebody using a system and transparency and keeping you in the loop, that's good stuff. Good stuff.

Apparently the FBI is now searching for leaks among the members of the FBI and using a polygraph test to look for the internal leakers. Now, I'm kind of surprised by that. It's a common thing in the government to use polygraphs to look for leakers, but I would feel like at least the FBI agents would know how to beat a polygraph. But probably just refusing to take it would be enough to get you fired. It's my guess. And since they don't know for sure if they can beat it, maybe it scares them into confessing or something. I don't know. But that's happening. It's pretty scary. It's scary that this tool exists and that it's in widespread implementation. What happens when the polygraph gets to the next level? Don't you think that we already have the technology that we can put a little hat on people that has sensors to their brain and it can tell for sure if they're lying without doing the bodily changes that the polygraph does? Just directly looking at their brain and find out if they're lying because I think we're right there. So isn't that a scary future where

your employer can know for sure if you're lying? I mean, you shouldn't be lying, but it would be a different world if somebody could know for sure if you're telling the truth. According to Unusual Whales on X, Visa wants to give AI your credit card to buy groceries. Now, I guess Fortune is reporting on this. Now, I think what that means is that if you wanted to use AI as like an agent, you know,…
