Here's a persuasion lesson courtesy of President Trump, who was speculating in front of reporters yesterday. Who had the lower IQ? Was it AOC or Jasmine Crockett? So the press is listening to Trump. He's like, you know, I don't know who's dumber. We have to give an IQ test to AOC because she's really dumb, but maybe Jasmine Crockett is dumber. So we should have them compete to find out which one is the dumbest.

Do you recognize the persuasion technique? Do you all see it? Compared to AOC is dumb or compared to separately that Jasmine Crockett is dumb. What he is doing is making you think past the sale. The sale is, are they dumb? He's making you think about which one is dumber. If he can make you think about which one would do better on an IQ test, he's already convinced you to sort of uncritically accept, well, they're both dumb. The only mystery left is which one is dumber. I've taught you that so many times. It's a special Trump trick that makes you think past the sale. The sale of yeah, they're both dumb.

See, you learn things.

According to Representative Anna Paulina Luna, she posted yesterday that Jerome Powell is going to be fired and firing is imminent. Now that would be that of the Fed. Now I have not seen any confirmation of that but separately Anna Paulina Luna says that she has a very good source and she's been told that Powell will be fired real soon. I asked Grok if anybody else is talking about that and they're not. So that's the first thing you need to know. Probably not likely because Grok explains that although it's true that the president can fire the head of the Fed, they can only do it with cause. And cause would be something like doing such a terrible job that it's obvious it's not just a difference in judgment, but there's something wrong with you.

Now, does Jerome Powell indicate that there's something just deeply wrong with him or that he has a different opinion with the other governors on the Fed? There's just a different opinion. So I would say at this point it looks like a different opinion, but it might be the wrong one. You know, Bill Pulte is going hard at him and it could be that Trump wants to test the limit of firing the Fed chief because that would be a little bit beyond the boundaries of what I would expect him to be able to get away with. But he might try it. It's possible. I'm going to bet against this. I'm going to say I don't think he'll fire the Fed chief, but we'll see.

There are a number of good things happening in the administration, and I think Trump's administration does a good job of touting their successes. Now if you're looking at them touting their successes, remember that's marketing and you could even call it propaganda. So there might be some counterargument to a few of these things, but here are some of the things we're learning just today.

Apparently the Department of Justice and the DEA have seized an enormous amount of illegal drugs in the country and coming into the country. So here are some of the numbers, and these don't even sound like they could be real. The numbers are so big. Newsmax is reporting on this today. Allegedly since Trump got into the job, they've captured 44 million fentanyl pills. 44 million fentanyl pills. 4,500 pounds of fentanyl powder. I'm no expert, but it feels like that would make a lot of pills. Nearly 65,000 pounds of meth. Really? 65,000 pounds of meth? Isn't meth just like a little powder? How much meth is that? 65,000 pounds of doses that would be just like a little line of powder. Holy cow. And more than 200,000 pounds of cocaine. 200,000 pounds. What? How much cocaine is that? If you saw it in one big pile, would it be taller than you?

And they've made more t
