e what a bad person he is, I mean, he's a really bad person based on his own statements, that's a bad person. I will hunt you. By the way, do you remember my famous most mocked prediction that if Biden got elected, Republicans would be hunted? Here was Biden's head of his FBI saying that he will, he uses the word hunt. We will hunt you down even if all you did was a misdemeanor. Hunted. Yeah, it'…

find out if she used her money on her boyfriend or they're trying to find out if she was influenced by some other country. It's not entirely clear why they would want that. But from her perspective, that is psychological torture. Do I mind? No, I don't. I do not mind that she's being psychologically tortured. I believe that she is essentially a criminal. I would consider her a criminal. Even if she's not convicted of anything, her behavior looks criminal to me.

I saw that on a Nick Sortor post. He's a good follow as well. Nick Sortor. S O R T O R.

Apparently the FBI just fired the FBI agents who were photographed back in 2020 kneeling for a George Floyd protest. Can you imagine getting fired five years later because you knelt for a photograph for Black Lives Matter? Is that a good enough reason to fire somebody? The AP is reporting on this. I'm going to say yes. I'm going to say yes. That is a good enough reason to fire somebody because I wouldn't trust anybody who was kneeling to Black Lives Matter. I wouldn't trust them. And trust is sort of a big deal for those jobs. So I hate to say it, some of them might have been just, you know, it's easier to go along, but I don't want any easy-to-go-along FBI agents who are literally getting on their knees to Black Lives Matter. Sorry. Goodbye. I feel like that is a reasonable firing offense. I agree with that one.

I guess the Supreme Court just gave Trump another victory that he can do pocket vetoes or recess appointments. A word you'd never use unless you're talking about the news. Recess appointments. So I guess that means that if money's been approved in some cases Trump can still just say, "I'm not going to spend it." So that would be, I think that's like a pocket veto. So I don't know how big a deal that would be, but it is yet another example of the Democrats trying to use lawfare to stop Trump from doing everything. And the courts seem to be giving Trump quite a few victories. Not all of them. He doesn't win them all, but he wins a lot.

Apparently the ODNI, Paul Sperry has reported this, are telling all the federal employees to alter their daily routines and avoid posting travel plans and remove badges and IDs outside of the office because there's a new terrorist threat against the government. And there's a $10 million bounty that's placed on the kingpin of the new al-Qaeda. I guess that would be like the new al-Qaeda. So I don't know how many of these people got into the country through our porous immigration plans of the past, but if something starts blowing up or somebody gets assassinated by somebody who came in across the border, that is going to be one hell of a shock to the system.

Scott, please look into your vax injuries. You absolute piece of garbage. I hate you. Get out of here. If you're a member of Locals, you should quit right now. Just get out of here. I don't want to see you again ever. I don't want to see a comment. I don't want to see you trying to help. Just get the fuck out of here, will you? I don't want to see that comment ever again. Do you realize what a piece of shit you are for saying that in the middle of the live stream? Piece of shit. God.

All right. There's a new poll. Frank Luntz is talking about it on Fox that shows that it's the worst showing ever for Democrats. They're at their lowest popularity and Frank Luntz said that they have two problems. The Democrats, well it's only two. So the good news is that polling expert Frank Luntz who knows a lot about politics, he says the Democrats only have two problems: their message and their messengers. That's all they do. That's all they do. There's a messenger and then there are things they say. That's pretty much the whole job. But it turns out that those two things are the things that they can't do. Can't get a messenger, can't get a message. So good luck.

Trump said when he was walking to the helicopter or something, somebody asked him and he said, quote, "I think we have a deal to release Hamas hostages and end the Gaza war." Do you believe that? Do you believe that they're close to a deal with Hamas to end the Gaza war? I don't believe that. I don't know if he believes it. Do you think there's any chance that they're close to a deal to release the hostages? I don't know. It doesn't seem to even make sense when you look at everything they've done up to this point. If they ended the war, if Hamas did, would they not be sort of admitting that they killed 65,000 people for no reason? I mean their actions largely guaranteed a very aggressive response. Guaranteed it. I mean you don't know the exact size of it, but it guaranteed it would be big. And if they walk away with nothing, which is exactly what they would get, there's no way they're going to get anything. If they walk away with nothing and destroy the entire Gaza through the efforts of the IDF of course, I don't think they can surrender. I mean surrendering is the same as going to jail or dying or something. So no, I don't believe that we're close to a deal, but if we are, I would wonder what was promised in return. And I don't imagine that anybody's in the mood to promise anything at all. I don't think.

All right. Well, Bill Maher's show was yesterday and as usual he's one of the few people who says anything interesting about politics because he's actually willing to look at both sides. Now he still has big problems. He thinks January 6 was an insurrection. He's really just one hoax away. Once he learns that that one's a hoax, he's one hoax away from understanding everything. I think he's close. I think he's one hoax away.

And here's what he was saying to criticize the Democrats. He said in one of his, I think his second monologue thing, he goes to the Democrats, "You can't just say and act like it's true. You can't come up with radical and dumb ideas and reject debate." And h

e gave examples of what he would call saying and acting like it's true. Math is racist. Queers for Palestine. Looting is cool. Healthy at any weight. And if the men's football team played the women's team, it would be a tie. He goes, "You can't just say and then refuse to debate it." It's funny how well that characterizes something like half of everything Democrats do. Just saying crazy shit and s…
