ved it. I loved it. It's like Scott Jennings on steroids or something. You know how much we like Scott Jennings because he always has that calm measured well thought out response to the craziness but seeing somebody who is a smart thinking person you know high level executive very serious made it to the highest levels of government seeing that person realize that the situation itself is so absurd that the funniest thing she can do is just insult him to his face on TV for as long as she can get away with it. A+. Pam Bondi, I have never loved you more. That was just A+. More, please. I don't know if anybody else will be able to match that. That was just really good work.

Well, the Illinois it looks like oh Texas National Guard has arrived in a training camp I guess in Illinois and they will be deployed soon but again the news is all funny. So there's a photograph ABC ran it on X of the supposed Texas National Guard troops getting off a truck in Illinois. And if you haven't seen the picture, you really have to because they're all obese. Now, I don't know if all National Guard people in Texas are obese, but there were like six of them in the front of the picture who were clearly obese, you know, all decked out in their military outfits. And I just thought to myself, paging Pete Hegseth, Pete Hegseth, could you show up and maybe lead some jumping jacks? I can't believe that that picture got released. They look so not ready for war, but luckily it's not a war.

Anyway, all right, let me talk about the persuasion view on all the sending the National Guard into cities. All right, so there are two ways to look at this. So there are definitely two sides of this. On one hand, it does look quote authoritarian for the federal government to be sending troops to cities. Would you agree? Now, I mean, you don't have to disagree with sending the troops. I'm just asking you a very narrow question. Would you not agree that the Democrats are trying to create this authoritarian rap on Trump that sending uniformed officers and especially people with masks on and stuff, it plays into their model. Right? Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Don't get me wrong. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but I often refer to Trump as what I call an offensive president, meaning that damn, he's getting stuff done, but he's going to leave a little breakage because it's usually the only way he can get anything done. So this is in the category of a little bit of breakage because it gives them something to focus on. Oh, the authoritarian authoritarian. And it works a little bit. I would say it works. I would say they've convinced their base quite a bit of it that oh this is authoritarian. It's the next step before Hitler comes in. Right.

So on one hand it supports their fake messaging about authoritarian and it also supports their fake paid protests which apparently are going to happen today. So you'll see some more fake paid performers protesting. So that all fits into the Democrat model a little bit. And if there was nothing else to say, it would look like Democrats are winning on this topic, winning politically. But let me give you the other side, which is more or less obvious. So the less obvious part is the fun part. So on the pro Trump side of this argument, persuasion-wise, the imagery is telling us that Democrat leaders have left you to die, have left you to die at the hands of criminals and cartel members and the only person who's trying to save your freaking life is Trump with the National Guard. So Trump has the strong imagery of sending in the cavalry, sending in the rescue squad. So if he can frame this successfully, and it sounds based on Rasmussen, it sounds like he has if he can frame this as saving the poor, downtrodden, especially low-income and almost always minority population. If he can say, "I'm sending these people in to save you because your leaders have left you to die at the hands of criminals and cartels." Let me say that sentence again. I'm sending in the National Guard because your local leaders have left you to die at the hands of the criminals and the cartels.

Now, is that exactly true? Have they left you to die? Well, no. I mean, they have police and it's certainly not their intention for you to die. But feel how strong that is. Your leaders are leaving you to die. I'm sending somebody to save your life. Do you feel that? Now, remember I was mentioning earlier Dr. Carmen Simon and her experiments where she can put sensors on your body and find out how you're responding to different messages. How do you think you would respond to that message? Your leaders are leaving you to die at the hands of criminals and cartels. I'm sending in the military to stop them. I feel like that's just a dead winner. I shouldn't say dead, but I believe that Trump has once again correctly read the room. I believe that when people answer polls, they answer it with words. In other words, they've got a point of view that matches their team and that's been put into words by other people. And then if you're asked your opinion, you'll look at the words and you'll say, "What words do I have that is the answer to that opinion?" But you'll be dealing on the word level, also known as the policy level, the word level. Trump is dealing on the stay alive level. Stay alive. Live. Don't be stabbed by a bad guy. Are those similar? Do you
