didn't already know that if you knew what they were doing privately with their phone, you could pretty much tell who's crazy and who's not, and probably even specifically what's wrong? Well, they don't know that for sure, but they're planning a big study to find out. But they don't need it. They can just ask Scott. Scott, would we be able to determine the mental health of a person by their phone u…

or Kennedy forwarded her clip on X and added his comment. So why did a former NPR editor find that their $200 million DC newsroom had 87 Democrats in editorial positions and zero Republicans? So the CEO of NPR wants us to believe that they're nonpartisan, but 100% of their editors, and there are a lot of them, 87 of them, every one of them is a Democrat. I'm not sure I believe her.

Well, let's see if you can find a pattern in this next story. Does this story sound like anything you've ever heard before? Does it remind you of anything else that's happened in the news?

The New York Post is reporting that Biden pushed for $10 billion worth of electric mail delivery trucks. So he wanted to build a fleet of electric, you know, green energy trucks for the post office. How many of them did they make? They've only made 250 electric mail trucks in two years.

So it appears that the pattern of Democrats being very good at voting money for things but really bad at making anything happen, such as a high-speed rail, such as everything else they've tried to fund, such as their rural Wi-Fi, they build nothing. How many times do you have to see a story about Democrats allocating billions of dollars to a construction project that didn't happen? And probably it didn't happen because Democrats always have so many rules, you know, environmental rules and people got to comment on it. And so once again, Democrats are the ones who can't build anything.

Yeah. Another example. So allegedly there are big protests this weekend. Is it happening today yet? So it's called the Good Trouble protest. Good trouble referring to, you know, the kind of protest that's trouble, but there's a good reason for it.

And Newsmax reporting about this. And then Newsmax was doing a person-on-the-street interview with some of the Good Trouble protesters, and I can't get enough of this. You know what's going to happen, right? So the reporter puts the microphone in the face of the protester who is happy to talk. How old is the protester? If you guessed senior citizen, you were correct.

So when the senior citizen was asked, "What are you protesting against?" And I'd like to do my impression of the senior citizen who thought it was important to go protest. When asked why are you protesting, it goes something like this: "Well, the Trump things and all the autocracy and there's the stealing of the democracy." What kind of democracy is he stealing? "Well, there are all kinds of things, so many things I can't think of one, but you know he's autocratic and the oligarchs and they're stealing the democracy."

Oh my god. I want to see as many of those as I can. I want to see if anyone can come up with anything because they are preposterous. Not protesters. They're preposterous. They're pests.

All right. Somebody named Defiant LS on X said, you know, why isn't there more of a meme generator built into Grok? Now Grok can create images, but wouldn't you like to add your own text to it and turn it into a meme? Well, Elon Musk saw that comment and said s

omething very cool is brewing. And later he said working on a new way to make creative viral videos fast. It's being called Imagine. So maybe Grok will be your solution to meme making. I don't know if it will suggest a meme or if you have to just pick your own image and then add your own text, or will it use AI to suggest viral videos. I don't know if AI is up to that. So I'm going to guess it's…
