watching, then it can send a video to all the others and say, look what I learned by watching. Perplexity, the AI company, has now their Comet browser, it's called, is out and it works like an assistant. So you can give it prompts and it will do a bunch of tasks. Now that's not the interesting part because there'll be a lot of those. But the thing that was interesting to me is once AI becomes ubi…

mocrats say Antifa doesn't exist because there's no leadership or organization. Well apparently it's self-organizing at the very least because they can have all these training events. So if you're having training events all over the nation, in fact all over the world, yeah, you're an organization and you could get RICO'd in my opinion.

Politico is writing, I didn't read the article, just the headline because the headline was good enough. It said half of America doesn't know who Hakeem Jeffries is but he's seizing on the shutdown fight to change that.

Now as many of you know, the political competition between Democrats and Republicans was at one time a fair fight. Do you remember that? It's like, wow, those Democrats are putting up a good fight. They even won that one. Oh, they won that election. Good fighting. But now the Democrat party is in full collapse. And I can't think of anything that would be worse for the Democrat party than raising the profile of Hakeem Jeffries, the most uncharismatic person besides Chuck Schumer. The two of them are just famously uncharismatic. Like oh my God, does the camera hate both of those guys. You've heard the camera love some people. Some people just look good on camera and some people don't look good on camera. It's more of a camera thing. They might look perfectly normal in person but both of these guys like Jeffries and Schumer are terrible on camera. I mean just terrible. And I wouldn't say that about everybody. You know AOC is great on camera. If you want the alternative, great on camera. MD, he's great on camera. But they've decided that in the shutdown they're going to put the two least likable Democrats forward. Oh my God, is Trump winning hard?

Every day that the Democrats are branding themselves with Hakeem Jeffries and his sombrero and Schumer, every day that that goes on they get weaker because nobody is looking at those two guys and saying, ooh, lead me. Lead me. Nobody.

Anyway, so that's the next biggest mistake they're making. So apparently the House Democrats decided, as Jesse Watters was talking about this on Fox, they decided that they would do this live stream that they would keep up for 24 hours. It would be a 24-hour live stream to just talk about the shutdown so that nobody would forget about it and they could get their message out. And apparently at one point there were only 36 people watching them and one of them was Fox News just to make fun of it. And it only had a thousand viewers at one point. It was peaking live stream at 1,000 viewers and they decided to just take it down and give up. They couldn't even pull off a podcast.

Yeah, I saw the setup for the podcast and it was just two guys you didn't want to look at sitting awkwardly in chairs with microphones in front of their faces. They couldn't even get the basics right. If you want somebody to look good on a podcast there are only two ways to do it. Those people have to just look good. Now that's one way. Then it doesn't matter what they're doing, they just look good. The other way is you have to put them behind a desk because at least it doesn't show their lower body and at least it doesn't show their bad posture and their little belly doesn't stick out when they lean back in their chair. But no, they took two unappealing people and put them in full-length chairs. That's just not knowing how to do a podcast. That's literally just not knowing how anything works.

Now I did recently a podcast with Zuby and the two of us had that same setup with a separate chair that you could see the whole body. And I'm looking at Zuby and I'm thinking, damn it, if I look like him I would feel pretty good in a full chair. But at the moment I'm not feeling too great about my physicality. So when I saw it played back I thought, you know, I

'd look a lot better behind a desk. But Zuby looked great. Zuby is great. So 40 million registered Democrats but at one point they could get 36 of them to watch that live stream. They are just so not good at anything. Homeland Security, according to the Epoch Times, removed five TSA officials because they were involved in that Biden-era thing where they were putting people on the quiet skies lis…
