om lenders, repackaging them into securities, and guaranteeing them for investors. How many of you understand what that meant? Only if you knew it before I said it, probably because let's see. Could I explain this? So there are two companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Bill Pulte is in charge of both of them, I believe, at the moment. But these used to be private, but now they're under the g…

ome event where he's speaking, telling Democrat states to redraw their districts and to do it now. And I'm thinking to myself, well, they will, but I think there's only what, two left. Before I said that they'd all gerrymandered, but I think there are two, maybe California is one of them that are not 100% gerrymandered, but they will be. And then if the Republicans also went to 100%, they would still gain seats.

But Beto got the memo that what Democrats should do to act like men is use the f-word a lot. So he says fuck the rules except he uses the real world word. We are going to win whatever it takes. So do you see the pattern? They talk about winning. They don't talk about helping the country or making America great again or giving you more money in your paycheck. They talk about winning, which really makes it look like it's about them because they're the ones in a contest. You and I are not in a contest. You know, we're just citizens trying to survive. They're in the contest. So when they talk forever about winning, it just is them talking about themselves, right? We want to win. We want to win. So we'll get reelected anyway.

And then they got the memo that they have to curse. So cursing and talking about winning, those are the two most loserish things they could do. And they do it every time.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders had a big event. He wanted us to know. He shared a picture on social media of the standing room only in Wheeling, West Virginia. It's called Wheeling because most of the people are in wheelchairs. No, that's not true. But they were not young. And Bernie says red state, blue state, the American people don't want oligarchy. They don't want authoritarianism. Man, that man has a way with words. They don't want oligarchy and they don't want authoritarianism. That just makes me want to march in the streets and hold a sign and say down with oligarchy, down with authoritarianism. It just like comes off your tongue so easily.

But what I'd like to see is the oligarchy and the authoritarianism combined into one word which I would recommend would be authorarchy. So I want to have a protest meeting with signs that say down with the authorarchy. So that would be the authoritarian with the oligarchy. Authorarchy. Yeah, you can use that.

And now Democrats are warning MAGA apparently that Gavin Newsom will become our next president and he will get revenge on all the things the president got revenge on them for. So he will be their revenging angel. To which I say, what more bad things could Democrats do? I mean, it's almost like it's an existential threat when they have any power at all. So is there really anything left that they can threaten? We know that the world would end if Gavin Newsom became president. That's not true. The world would not end. But we certainly wouldn't be paying down the debt and the borders probably would be a little bit more open. So we could predict that part.

Howard Stern, we're hearing, I don't know how anybody would know this, but the report is that at one point Howard Stern had 20 million daily listeners, but he's now being cancelled by Sirius. And they say it was down to 125,000 from 20 million. Now that's not all Trump people, but it does make sense to me because I felt like he couldn't do what he was doing the further he got into senior citize

nship. That's a wig, right? Howard Stern. That's not real hair, right? On Howard Stern. Like maybe it was when he was young, but it couldn't possibly be real hair, right? Is he bald? So he looks, he doesn't really make sense. You can't be 100 years old and doing what he does. So part of it is it's just gross, but the older he gets, it just gets more gross. But also his entire reason for being is…
