. You know they were sitting together in the Oval Office and whenever Trump turned to him he would have this big smile on his face and you know he laughed at his jokes and stuff. So he looks like he's getting along with Trump well. But Trump answered questions about all manner of things. And he said that the press should be focusing on Biden and the autopen, not the Epstein stuff.

All right here's the thing. When Trump tries so hard to tell us that we should not talk about Epstein, isn't he winking as hard as you can? Yes there are secrets there. I know the secrets. I'm not going to tell you. And I'm not even going to tell you why I can't tell you. Let's just please move on. So when I agree with that strategy of moving on, people say oh you're covering up for the what are you doing? You're covering up for the pedos. No I'm simply saying that if we'll never know the real answer we should default to a process you're comfortable with. A process that I'm comfortable with is that we elected people to make these decisions for us. And apparently Trump has made the decision for us that we're not going to see much more even though he acts like he's open to it. I don't think we'll see more. Whatever it is that he's covering up and obviously he's covering up something is important and we hired him to make the important decisions for us. We did not hire him to tell us everything that he knows because there would be lots of topics where he knows things you're not supposed to know. So that's my summary. If we can't know for sure and we can't, what's the real story? The only thing you can be comfortable with is who's in charge of deciding if you know. And it's Trump. I'm comfortable knowing that he's lying. Can anybody else say the same thing? I know he's lying. He's obviously lying. It could not be more obvious. It's so obvious that he's lying that it makes it feel like he wants us to know he's lying because it's easier for me to move on if I know he's lying, right? Because if I know he said that he's decided to keep it from me and the public, then I say well that's your decision. You get to make that decision and then I'm willing to move on. Would justice be served? Probably not.

Trump also has this new phrase he uses a lot that the US was considered a dead country before he got in. Nothing was happening and now it's the hottest country. That is good persuasion. He says it a lot so it's really sinking in. So he's persuading other countries that might want to invest with the US or get on board with us. He's persuading them with his hypnosis that we're not like we used to be and now it's you know the US is the place to invest and the one to follow and the one that's doing all the good stuff and there's some basis for that. So it's not like it's a crazy thing to say. So I love his persuasion on that from dead to hottest.

Let's compare that to one of the stars of the Democrat party, Stacey Abrams, who is now calling Trump an autocrat. All right compare these two persuasions. The US went from a dead country to the hottest country. Okay that's just A+ because everybody knows what dead means. Everybody knows what hottest means. And there's enough basis that people could say yeah I can see that. I see why you're saying that. But when Stacey Abrams says Trump is an autocrat, why don't you go do an interview on the street and ask people if they know what an autocrat is? If they do, give them question number two. Do you know what an oligarch is? Probably not. Number three, what does it mean to be an authoritarian? Maybe a third of the country knows what that means. What about the plutocrats? Yeah. What about the plutocrats? Why is it that the Democrats have no sense whatsoever of what a regular human being would be persuaded by? Pen rats. That's funny. Autopen rats.

Well Trump says that Coca-Cola has agreed with his suggestion to make America healthy again by removing what they were using for sugar and putting in real cane sugar. So I guess that's for the non-diet version of Coke. But I was not aware that whatever Coca-Cola was using instead of real cane sugar, I was not aware that it's dangerous and that real cane sugar would be healthy. So I don't understand that story at all. But if RFK Jr. agrees that this would make that drink healthier. All right. Okay. But I do like when Trump brags about successes because that feeds into his we're the hottest country and everything's going right. And I love it when he does that. I love it when Trump is a salesperson for the country, which is a lot like being a salesperson for his own administration. He should be doing that and he should be talking it up like crazy and nobody does it better. He is the best salesperson I've ever seen and he's selling the country. He's doing a good job.

But meanwhile in the Palisades where there was that big fire, apparently nothing's happening to rebuild basically. Rebuilding after the fire is almost nothing. And they think it would take four years to get things approved and rebuilt. Four years. And all of it because California is a bureaucratic red tape woke mess.

Apparently there's some real movement on this Russia collusion hoax investigation that the FBI and I assume the DOJ are doing. So I was reading in Real Clear Investigations, Paul Sperry was writing that there's been meetings and there's new information on Russiagate. New documents have been released. There's a new secret 200-page congressional audit. I feel like this is looking like something might happen. As in the idea that the Democrats organized a RICO criminal attempt to lawfare and disgrace Trump and get him out of the government and get him out of the election. It looks like that it's all documented. So you know unlike the Epstein thing where there's nothing to look at, we just have a lot of assumptions and speculation. It looks like this whole Russia hoax thing, there's going to be memos and handwritten memos and a whole chain of command where you can see the entire criminal enterprise. So I don't know how far this could go but is there a possibility that Brennan would be put in jail? There is. Yeah there is. It would be tough. I think the odds are way against it but it's possible. So if I were John Brennan I'd be worried a lot.

We get new inflation numbers in the country on a regular basis. Just got some that look kind of good. But would you be surprised to learn that economists say that our inflation data is all — does that surprise anybody that the data that they use to figure out if our prices went up? So part of it is a labor shortage. So the way they check prices is have a little army of people call certain places and say what are you charging for this or that and then they compile it. When they don't have the information they estimate it. They estimate it. How exactly would you estimate the price of a thing without checking any base source? You just make it up, right? So it sounds to me like some of the inflation numbers are literally just pulled out of somebody's ass. So I think the administration in charge probably can make that inflation number just about anything they want. Because it's sort of made up and based on assumptions and stuff. And of course what I say when we find out that the inflation numbers are probably BS, I say wait until you find out about the climate models. Wait until you find out how many estimates are in the climate models. If you're worried about the inflation numbers not being perfectly accurate, oh wait until you find out about temperature. Yeah there are some estimates there.

Zohran Mamdani had a meeting with a bunch of important business CEOs and they were asking him about his use of the phrase globalize the intifada which is taken commonly as a call to violence toward Israel and Jewish people. And Mamdani claimed that for him the slogan is not about that violence but it reflects a protest against what he called the Israeli occupation of Gaza and not an endorsement of violence. So he says he'll still be in favor of the idea that he's opposed to the occupation of Gaza as he would call it but he does not endorse anything about it that is violence.

Now remember what I said about whoever gets to decide what the definition of something is is in charge. So here is Zohran trying to make us accept his definition of what globalize the intifada means. If he can get us to accept that definition then he probably has a good chance of getting elected and it looks like he's winning. But do you buy that? How many of you think that that phrase is sort of innocent and it's only talking about the occupation? It's not really believable. So I don't think that he has the power to redefine that. So it means that at the moment he's not in charge of you because you still have your own definition and you would be willing to use it in public if you had to but he's trying to redefine
