es toward Israel and now one of them at least includes a cluster bomb. So missile with a cluster bomb and Israel just isn't going to put up with it. So note to Yemen, have you checked the news, Yemen? I'd like to make a little message to the Yemenis, mostly the Houthis. Have you noticed anything that's happened in the past year or so? It has to do with a pattern. You might start to notice that wha…

Well, here's some advice for you. There are two opinions that once you hear them, you should ignore everything else you hear from the person who said it because it reveals that their brain doesn't work very well. And I may have mentioned this before, but when somebody says that they don't like some movement or organization because it's a cult, you know, like people call MAGA a cult and people call the woke people a cult. A lot of people call things a cult. It's always dumb. And the same thing when they say something's a religion that's not technically a religion. These are analogies. And when you run into somebody who's an analogy thinker, this whole MAGA is a cult is really no different from oh, they're like neo-Nazis. It's just that there's something maybe in its exaggerated form reminds you of something else. There's no thinking involved in that. So as soon as you hear, well it's a cult, they're in a cult, you don't need to listen to anything else that person says because if they believe they're using an analogy, a terrible one. I mean, it doesn't really, MAGA doesn't fit the definition of a cult. If you made a checklist, most things would not be checked, right? But you can always find something that reminds you of something about something else. So it's not really thinking. And if you run into somebody who's unable to do that basic thinking, well they're probably not philosophy majors, if you know what I mean. They probably don't have a sense of humor, if you know what I mean. If you've been paying attention, tying it all together.
Speaking of which, here's another prediction I made that has, as we say, aged well. I'm kind of proud of this one because it happened so quickly. I told you that Gavin Newsom's mocking of Trump, you know by mocking his Truth Social posts that are often in all caps and stuff like that, I told you that that was well done and I would consider it successful. So if I'm going to be an objective observer, I would say okay, that worked. It got attention for Newsom and attention is the coin of the realm. If you're going to run for pre

sident later, it looks like he might. So that's basically what it did. It got him attention and it was funny and it was viral and it allowed him to raise some money as well. So that's all really well done. But what did I predict? What I predicted was that if they just kept doing the same thing, it would stop being interesting really quickly. And I think that happened. And I told you that yesterda…
