d that people don't offer an alternative to whatever Israel is planning to do in Gaza? Now, I think everybody has the same feeling, which is too many people are getting killed and wouldn't it be good if everybody got fed and wouldn't it be good if everybody could live in harmony next to each other? So we all agree on the obvious basic stuff. But what is the alternative to Gaza completely being dom…

So apparently Trump is not happy that the TikTok deal is not getting approved by China, and China quite wisely is holding back on that because they don't have a trade deal yet. So it's just part of their leverage. But Trump's leverage has to be acting like he doesn't care if TikTok goes out of business or not. Now he does care. He does care, but he has to act like he doesn't. So the latest, Charles Gasparino is writing about this in the New York Post, is that he's letting it slip that he doesn't give a crap if TikTok goes dark for a while because I guess he thinks it wouldn't be permanent even if it did. But he's downplaying that. And maybe that'll help get a trade deal. We'll see.
Have I ever mentioned that all of our economic data is not to be trusted? Here's a bunch of economic data. Economist Steve Moore, who you probably know from a lot of TV hits — he's a big Trump supporter — and he was giving Trump a demonstration in the Oval Office that we got to watch that he said that every income bracket saw a boost under Trump but under Biden income inequality got worse.

That's just borrowing your own money. So I don't know. I don't believe any economic numbers. I don't believe that. I just don't believe we have access to accurate numbers.
And then same economist Steve Moore says that Biden inflated his job numbers by 1.5 million. Now, how do we know that Biden was off by 1.5 million? Do you believe that there is such a thing as accurate job numbers and that Biden just decided not to use them or he was lying about it? And then now we have the accurate ones and nobody's lying. I think it would be more accurate to assume that we just don't have accurate job numbers so that

anybody can game those numbers by at least 1.5 million and get away with it. Really guys, settle down. All right. So don't believe any of the job numbers. Don't believe any of the economic numbers. They could be anything you want. Every administration is going to tell you that the one before had the wrong numbers, but thank goodness they have the right numbers now. As soon as you start believing t…
