ving up your enrichment. Related to that I was watching a podcast with Matt Gaetz. He was talking to the author of a book called Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against the West. And this was on Newsmax and this was Dr. Walid Phares. Would that be the way you say it? Anyway so Dr. Phares recommended that Trump give a televised speech directly to the Iranian people. And he compared it to Reagan…

My next story gets to the concept of what I call how lost are the Democrats? I love hearing their best and brightest people. You know the ones who should be helping them correct the ship. I love hearing them give advice that really sounds bad. So CNN's Van Jones said on air that Trump should investigate and prosecute the DOGE staff. Quote I don't think what they're doing is legal. Now he didn't give examples of what he thinks are illegal. But that might be some of the worst advice I've ever heard because obviously Trump's not going to do that. And all it is is attacking the people who are trying to get something done on behalf of the American people such as get rid of the fat and bloat and corruption. So once again we have the pattern developing where Republicans are trying to get something done. That would be DOGE. And Democrats are trying to use some kind of legal process to prevent them from getting anything done. How do you miss the pattern at this point? Like even if you're a Democrat do you not realize that Republicans are trying to get things done? Sometimes you won't like them but they're trying to do things that are good for the country. And Democrats are almost entirely involved with stopping any progress in any way. It's kind of hard to miss the pattern after a while, isn't it? And you know Van Jones one of the smartest people who's also a Democrat looks like he's falling into the same trap of just saying that this thing that's probably popular by 80-20 in the United States that they should all be arrested or at least investigated.
Well here's my persuasion lesson on Trump. And I've told you before that his writing style and his writing ability is never going to get the credit it deserves but my goodness is he a good writer. And he did a Truth Social little write-up about his ballroom. You know the ballroom is being built at the White House. And I just want to read to you Trump's words when he talks about it. Now keep in mind that because we have fiscal constraints and we've got a deficit problem that if you're the president and you're bragging about your ballroom it doesn't sound good to the public who thinks do you really need a ballroom? Could we not really cut that budget? And you can stand in the muddy lawn when we need to do something outdoors. So he's got this delicate thing that he's trying to manage where it looks like it might be a vanity project and also we're in the context of a fiscal constraint but he's building a ballroom. So he's got to navigate all of that.
And let me just read what he wrote. He says quote just inspected the site of the new ballroom that would be built compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump at the White House. For 150 years presidents and many others have wanted a beautiful ballroom but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things. But I do like maybe nobody else and it will go up quickly and be a wonderful addition very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself. These are the fun projects I do while thinking about the world economy, the United States, China, Russia and lots of other countries, places and events. It will all be good, maybe even great, depending on who is president of the United States.
Now he basically disarms you with this sentence compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump because that's what's called voicey within the writer's world. If somebody is voicey it means you can feel their personality in their writing. And you might even say to yourself nobody else would say that. Nobody else in the world would use those words. And I don't

think anybody would like no other president would ever write like this. So this is the most voicey optimistic fun way he could ever introduce this thing. And then he brags about his ability to build things which most people would agree that he has, right? I mean you'd have to be a pretty hardcore Democrat to say that Trump doesn't know anything about construction. I mean really of course he knows…
