ing. All right. Incredible. It's all working.

Well, let's start with the big tragic story. As you know, there was a shooting in Minnesota. I guess targeted were four lawmakers, so state lawmakers. Two of them were killed. Two of them were wounded, husband and wife. And the man who did it is still at large. And he had a weird mask on that made him look like a bald man, or made him look like me actually. But he looked like a policeman. Somehow he had a police car and a police outfit, and he used that as his entry for shooting four people. Two of them died.

Now, of course, because we're all bad people, instead of thinking about the victims, which we should be thinking about, we think about the politics. And most of the news is obsessed with trying to figure out is he a crazy leftist or a crazy right-wing guy.

I'm going to go on record as saying I don't care, because the damage is done and he's crazy. You know, whether he's crazy left or crazy right, I'm not really keeping score that way. Yeah, these are anecdotal. There's something wrong with that one person, and they may or may not have a coherent set of ideas. But trying to understand them, I don't know, it's probably not worth it. But we will look through all of his various indications to try to figure out is he left or is he right, because that would, I guess, improve our political arguments. Is that what we need to worry about right now? Improving our political arguments?

Well, he's definitely leaving a set of clues that could make you imagine and see it either way. So I'm not even going to guess if he's crazy left or crazy right. He's crazy, and he's on the loose. So watch out.

What else? So yesterday, as you know, was the No Kings events. So all over the country, people made up signs and they marched and they said, "No kings, no kings in the United States." And it worked.

I have to admit I was skeptical at first. I was like, really? I mean, do they need to do that? Is there any benefit from doing that? And sure enough, I woke up this morning and there were no kings. It worked. Man, you know, you really don't expect that things will work that fast, but one day of marching and no kings. None at all. So good job. Millions of people have participated and did their affirmations, and it worked. There are no kings today.

Ironically, there was a big 250th anniversary of the Army military parade. What was it that the military did 250 years ago? Oh yeah. They got rid of our king. So they had a No Kings march that was opposing the military parade, which was a celebration of the military getting rid of the king. So if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's no kings. It's the weirdest thing. You know, if the worst thing you have to worry about is that both the left and the right are adamant about having no kings, well, we're not doing too poorly. So we got that going on.

The No Kings protest was very large, but apparently it was completely overshadowed by the tragedy of the four people who were shot, and so it just took it right out of the news basically. So probably half of the energy got sucked up into a different news story, sadly. But on top of that, it was the war in Iran. So if you were planning a protest, you picked the wrong weekend. That was a very noisy, news-filled weekend. So sorry about that.

I guess at the No Kings protest, according to the Amuse account, some of them tried to storm the LA ICE facility. Yeah. Where was that? In Portland. That didn't work out. So it was mostly under control. All right.

They say it's the biggest single-day anti-Trump protest during the second administration. Well, it doesn't matter how big it is. It matters how much publicity it gets. And it didn't do well on the publicity.

So I watched a little bit of the military parade. I had a comment that I thought was just me until I saw a bunch of other people on social media. Did it seem to you like the marching was especially ragged? You know, it's not like I should be criticizing anybody in the military, but did anybody have that same impression? Like, I feel like they could marshal a little bit better than that. Well, I don't know what that was all about, but it was a robot dog or two. So it's the first military parade with robot dogs.

I like the voice-over guy. So the parade would have been super boring except there was a voice-over guy, and I assume you could hear him at the event or not just on TV. But he was giving context. You know, this unit of historical soldiers did this or that, this unit did that. That kind of made it interesting.

MSNBC, of course, had to cover it, but they wanted to make something negative of it. So here's how MSNBC tried to spin a military parade that was celebrating the same military that got rid of our king and has protected us all these years. And they decided that the way to cover it was to claim that they can read Trump's mind. So MSNBC was this whole mind-reader thing. We have read his mind and we have determined that Trump is not honoring the military. No, because they read his mind there. There's no outward indication. Outwardly it looks like he's honoring the military because every single outward symbol and all of his history and all of everything we know about him suggests he's honoring the military. So MSNBC read his mind and determined that really what he was doing was displaying a show of force to intimidate his political rivals.

Did anybody pick up on that? Was anybody watching the military parade and saying, oh, his political rivals are going to be afraid of these people dressed in Revolutionary War outfits carrying muskets? So that was a little bit crazy.

Then also on MSNBC they tried to tie the military parade to Trump pardoning violent January 6ers and the normalization of political violence. All right. Did anybody get that? So apparently instead of honoring the military, MSNBC thought it was normalizing political violence. They had to reach pretty deep for that one. And then there was who escalates violent rhetoric. So yeah, they're w
