as you need to until they just stop acting that way, if they ever do. And other people should adopt that if they can do it as well. The trick is you have to not stop and everything you say should be a deep insult to the person talking. If you get both of those things, don't stop, get really loud and just do personal insults and nothing else the whole time. Perfect. Now, I would obviously not sugg…

one purpose and it has to do with just himself.

Well, what about all the other things he did today? He had a packed schedule. Do you think that he went to the UK because that was good for him personally? Probably not. And probably you might think it's just a pain in the ass. So no.

The weakest attack on somebody is they only care about themselves. It's just not even a thing.

By now most of you have seen the text messages that Tyler Robinson, the shooter of Charlie Kirk, sent to his romantic partner who is trans. And some people say those messages look a little suspicious. Specifically they look like they were made in advance perhaps to make it look like only the shooter knew that it was going to happen.

And let me read it to you and you tell me if this sounds like two young lovers, albeit trans and whatever he was. Does this sound real?

So he said to look under his keyboard and there was a note there that said he was guilty of the shooting. And I guess he put that there in advance.

So the first parts of the message are very clear indications that the partner didn't know about it. Does that sound a little sus to you? Do you believe there's any chance that the partner didn't know about it?

Kash Patel is looking into over 20 people who are suspiciously, seemingly not confirmed but seemingly knew about the plot before it happened. You know, probably people who were on message boards and stuff like that. Now the things they said were things like "Oh, something big's happening September" that sort of thing in regards to Charlie Kirk. They would use his name and then say "Oh, something big's happening." So if it's true that over 20 people who were not his lover knew about it, do you really think that the lover didn't know about it? I don't know.

another tell. He said "I am still okay, my love." Don't teenagers say "I'm"? How many people would write "I am still okay my love"? That feels like an artificially constructed, not normal wording. And then the partner says, "You weren't the one who did it, right?" "I am. I'm sorry." The partner says, "I thought they caught the person." "No." And then he explains that that was just some crazy old…
