ot supposed to say that. I saw that in the End Wokeness post on X. And speaking of low IQ, that's what President Trump calls Charlamagne tha God. So apparently Charlamagne, he did an interview with Lara Trump recently and he thinks that the conservatives are going to use the Epstein files story to take back control of the GOP from Trump. Does that sound like something that's going to happen? It…
← Previous segment →off a bunch of his accomplishments. "But this dope Charlamagne would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala. Remember one year ago our country was dead. Now it's the hottest country anywhere in the world. MAGA."
Do you remember back before you were completely accustomed to the way Trump is, if he had done something like this, like spent an hour of his weekend coming up with a bunch of insults for one random guy on TV, you would have said to yourself, "Hey, this is not the president that creates the best image for our country." And you might even have said, "I don't know. He represents us and I can't have him just going off on somebody who seems so crazy." But Trump has so normalized essentially doing his act because I call this his act as part of the show that once you realize it's just part of the show, you can enjoy it as part of the show or you could just ignore it because you know maybe it's not the show you enjoy.
But it's completely different when we accept this as normal behavior because he's normalized it.
So then I wondered, will Trump be accused of being a racist? Duh. Of course he'll be accused if he calls Charlamagne a low IQ person because he called Jasmine Crockett low IQ and I believe he's called Maxine Waters low IQ and I'm starting to think, oh I hope this pattern isn't as obvious as it looks, but he also called Biden low IQ, Kamala Harris, AOC, Charlamagne, John Kelly, who at least is white, and Al Green, who I don't know what he is actually. But yeah, so it hasn't been exclusively to any demographic group, but he's going to need to expand that to some more white people to stay out of trouble.
All right. According to Just the News, the latest AP-NORC poll asked respondents to share the first word or phrase that comes to mind when they think of each political party.
All right. Let's do a little test to show how smart you are. What percent of Democrats had a positive thing to say about their own party? What percent of surveyed Democrats had a positive attribute for their own party? That is correct. Your guesses are amazing. It's 23%. But 25 I will accept. Very close, within the margin of error.
Republicans, 41% of them had a positive view of their party and only 19% shared a negative view. That's pretty darn good. Only 19% had a negative view of their own party in Republicans.
Well, Fareed Zakaria on CNN, who suffers from a little bit of TDS, just a little bit, did a piece on how the tariffs might not seem so bad yet, but they used to be tiny and this is going to be a giant drag on the economy and maybe we'll find out later that's a giant problem.
Well, let me make my prediction. It seems to me at some point because economies go up and down, at some point during Trump's term, don't you think it will look like the tariffs are a drag on the economy? Wouldn't you guess that at some point something will happen in the economy and then somebody will say ah that inflation or that slowdown in the GDP or whatever it is or maybe all that they're going to say there it is there's that tariff effect. They won't blame AI or anything. They'll just say it's a tariff effect. So I think if accur

ate that at some point you'll say see I told you that these tariffs would cause a problem, but then we will later find out that that was temporary and that maybe it wasn't caused by tariffs at all. So expect some up and downs in the economy and people are going to blame the tariffs or not blame the tariffs and nobody knows because economics is just guessing. Well, the head of the BLS, which woul…
