quer what's left. But Trump can change the frame from Putin. You know that in three years this is not going to be a human-on-human war. You know that, right? And he does know that. Everybody knows that. So you say to him, here's the deal. If you keep fighting, we'll keep supplying the very best American technology to drones and robots, and you're going to be having an all-robot war, and you will…

e're keeping the Congressional Redistricting Commission at the same time that he's pushing to ignore them. He's trying to sell that. Good luck.

So I'm hoping Californians can see through it and maybe turn down that redistricting thing, but I don't know if that poll is telling us what we need to know about that.

According to the New York Post, 75 homeless camps in Washington DC have been cleared. What does that mean? Where are those people? Is there some secret alternate Washington DC where they move all the homeless people? Now, that would be kind of funny, wouldn't it? Imagine if we hired Hollywood to build a set of an inner city, but the buildings are all fake. They're just fronts. And then the homeless people think, "Aha, we got another city to be homeless in." And they put up their tents on the sidewalk, but it's just a Hollywood set. And they could be homeless all they want. But if they try to go inside a building, the doors are all locked. So because there's nothing in there, just fake buildings. So let's do that. All right.

Anyway, I'm very curious where those 75 homeless camps went and where did those people go? But apparently South Carolina, Ohio, and maybe one other state is sending their own National Guards to assist DC. And there's talk about doing it in New York City, too. But Hillary Clinton would like to remind you that you're just a giant wuss if you're afraid of street crime, you giant wussy.

So I saw a post on X from Dr. Interracial. Now, it's important for you to know that Dr. Interracial is literally in an interracial marriage. He is the black member of the interracial marriage. And he pointed out that the videos of the Washington DC protest were all white people. And he says, "Notice, no black people are protesting against safe communities. None. There are like thousands of people protesting. Not a single black person in the crowd. Not one."

Now, is that because there are a couple of possibilities? One possibility is that black people don't want to protest against ending crime. Now, that's the one I want to believe. The other possibility is that all of these protests are inorganic and they're literally organizations you can pay to hire people to protest for whatever you want them to protest for. Crowds for hire, is that what it's called?

What if—and I'm just throwing this out there—what if the crowds for hire, the people who create the fake demonstrations, what if they don't have a DEI department? What if the entire problem is that they're not doing any recruiting to get diversity in their crowds? So all they get is a bunch of bored, retired white people.

I don't know what is causing the fact that there wasn't a single black person in this very large crowd of protesters in a city that has a quite substantial black population, but it means something. It definitely means something. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but it means something.

Meanwhile there were anti-Israel demonstrations in Manhattan and I guess they were calling for a global intifada, which is a slogan that you might recognize that a lot of people see as incitement of violence against Jewish communities. So that's happening. Do you imagine that that was an organic protest? No, there aren't any. There are no organic protests. It's almost certainly paid protesters and maybe people from other countries are behind it. Who knows? But something's behind it. I would ignore it unless they break stuff. I would just ignore them.

Well, maybe that's not strong enough because you don't want people marching around saying "global intifada." But they do have, on the other hand, this freedom of speech. Is global intifada yet officially hate speech or is it on its way to becoming official hate speech? Because that could change things.

Well, Congressma

n Eric Swalwell was asked to comment on Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska. And if you can believe this douchebag, he's one of what I call the designated liars, the people who really push the big lies, like the really embarrassingly obviously false really big lies. And so he goes with, "I do not know if President Trump is or is not a Russian asset." What a piece of crap that guy is. What a piece…
