ense that the people who are extremists either right or left is because they feel something that's a reward. So if they get revulsion from looking at what the other team is doing but it's still sort of a competition and you like your team and you can't wait to talk to them about that thing the other side is doing that's so bad. Yeah, that's just pure emotion. And you would expect that those peopl…

hysically from the news. I mean, she looked like she was having a physical response to just even thinking about Trump.

And Scott Jennings said after she was done with her little rant that sounded literally crazy, he just says, "If this is the Democratic strategy, congratulations, America. You've already elected Republicans as far as the eye can see." Yeah. If your reason for not liking Trump, the top of the list is that he has dementia because he tried to perform oral sex on a microphone, which by the way I do not remember that story. But I suppose anything's possible. But I don't remember the story of him trying to have it out with a microphone.

So when the Democrats talk like that, not every Democrat of course, but when one of them talks like that, do you say to yourself, "Well, there's just a competing opinion I should take seriously," or do you say to yourself, "What is wrong with you?" It looks like you have a mental health problem. And that's what that looks like. That comes off not as an opinion. That comes off as a mental health problem. Does it? Is it just me? I don't know.

Even the Portuguese president has some TDS. He said in public, believe it or not, that Trump is nothing but a Russian puppet. And he said, "The top leader of the world's greatest superpower is objectively a Soviet Russian asset. He functions as an asset." That's the president of Portugal. You know what's funny is I'd never seen a picture of him before that I can recall, but I saw the video of him talking and I thought, "Oh, I get it. He looks as dumb as he sounds." I mean he looks like a dumb guy. And then that comes out of his mouth. He's the head of Portugal and he believes that Trump, who has put these vicious sanctions on Russia, etc., he's trying to solve a war. They think he's a Russian asset.

Here's a new theory about Stonehenge. I guess they found one cow's tooth buried at the site and they analyzed the heck out of that tooth and then they declared that probably the way the stones got to Stonehenge, which is the big mystery because they're really heavy and they came from a long ways away they think, now they say that cows dragged the rocks to Stonehenge. Now it makes me wonder, is there anything that cows can't do? They can make a baseball catcher's mitt. They can be our food. They can give us milk. You could ride a cow if you needed to. They could be a pet. Terrible pet. Terrible pet. But they can do so many things. But apparently they can build Stonehenge.

Personally my theory is that the cows also built the pyramids. I can't prove it, but when I look at them I think that looks like some cow work right there. I used to work on my uncle's farm. He had a dairy farm. And so I know cows. I mean, I know how they think. And I feel like they could have built a pyramid. I don't know.

Online influencer, I guess that's what you would call him, or researcher, Ian Carroll, if you've seen his material. Very entertaining. I'm never in a position to know when he's ri

ght and when he's not, but he has some fascinating research he does on a lot of stuff. But apparently the government, the Trump administration, has now released 100,000 emails relative to the Epstein situation. And the 100,000 emails, I think that was just the number of emails with Ehud Barak, the ex-prime minister of Israel. Well, I don't know. It doesn't seem like they would have done 100,000 me…
