the works, but what would be the point of having DoorDash and all these food delivery options if I had a Tesla that I could simply send to pick up my food? And if you're the restaurant, you could tell it, "Pull into your parking lot or whatever," and you could just open up the trunk and have them put the food in and have it drive home. I would definitely do that. It'd be way cheaper than having it…

So what I would recommend is that you immediately start doing a whole bunch of fake chats. I mean, actually you're chatting, but you're doing it just to kind of seed the chat with stuff that's good for you. So, for example, today you should go home and say, "ChatGPT, I was wondering what would be the best charity that I could sign up for to donate my time and money to the well-being of other people who are less fortunate." And just do one of those about every day until if somebody ever searches your stream, they'll say, "Well, this person has some weird hobbies, but you got to say this is a pretty good person right here." That's a pretty good person.
Anyway, or here's the other option. You've heard of super prompts where you wisely ask your question of AI in the way that gets you the best answer. I would recommend appending to every question that you have for AI, "I'm asking for a friend." I'd like to know what to do about this terrible disease. I'm asking for a friend. What is the best way to launder money? I'm asking for a friend. If I wanted to murder my neighbor's dog and not get caught, my friend wants to know.
So that's my recommendation. Just add that to every question. All right. And don't kill your neighbor's dog. That was just a humorous example.
A new study—Jonathan Turley is writing about this—found that almost 90% of students misrepresent their views in class. I think these are college students, on assignments to satisfy faculty by adopting more liberal views. Let's see, this is a recent op-ed in Northwestern University. Some researchers said that between 2023 and 2025 they conducted a bunch of confidential interviews and they asked students—again, college students—have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically? An astounding 88% said yes.
Now, here's my first reaction to that. We're going to be fine. We're going to be fine. It turns out that the young people are wise enough to lie on all these questions. So 88% of them lie because they know that the question is sort of painting them into a trap and will ruin their life if they answer honestly. So they all know to lie. We'll be fine. Don't worry about the kids actually being woke. They're not woke at all. Yeah. No, they're just lying. As soon as they get in a place where they feel safe, all the wokeness will fall away.
But here's my reaction to this. I was in college in 1975 to 1979. Yes, I'm that old. This was exactly the same then. How many people roughly my age who also were in college in the '70s recall that you also could not honestly answer a question? Are you kidding me? Do you think I could be honest in 1977 and say exactly what my real opinion was if a professor was going to read it? Of course not. Of course not. There's never been a time when college students could be honest about their opinions. That's never been a thing. This didn't suddenly happen. No, it's always been like that. At least in my lifetime. So maybe it's worse, but I don't know how it could be worse than "I'm not going to tell you my opinion at all." That's the way it was when I was in college.
Anyway, I saw a Victor Davis Hanson video in which he was talking about what he calls the collapse of the Democratic Party. Now, what's interesting is that he uses the word "collapse." When was the first time you heard somebody say the Democrat party is going to collapse using that specific word? When was the first time you ever heard "collapse"? I'll tell you. It probably was several years ago when I told you that I was going to try to take out the tentpole hoax, the fine people hoax. And I told you that that would lead to what? Collapse.
It was literally a metaphor about a tent that if you took out the main pole, the main hoax, it would collapse. And we're seeing the further collapse, I think, with the Russiagate, Russia collusion hoax as people are learning all the badness that happened there. But I'm going to say that that was one of my best predictions ever. And certainly in the category of not knowing if I predicted it or in some small way helped cause it. I don't know. But I know I told you in advance that I'm going to break this hoax and in so doing I'm going to make the entire Democratic Party collapse. I told you that multiple times as I did it in front of you in public.
So when I hear Victor Davis Hanson say that the Democratic Party is in collapse, I say to myself, "Oh, there you go." I'll never know if I had anything to do with it. I mean, there's no way to know for sure, but it looks like it. It loo

ks like I was at least part of that story. Some small part. And Victor goes further. He says they're melting down. I don't even think there is a Democratic Party now. And that's what it feels like. It doesn't feel like there's a Democratic Party. It feels like there's a bunch of people who identify as Democrats and they don't know who's in charge and they're not likely to line up behind anybody t…
