. Protesting is in my blood. A lot of them talk like that. Yeah, my parents were protesters. I've been protesting since I was six years old. So some of it's just that, you know, the one bucket list item, let's do our final tour while we can still walk kind of thing. Some of them are probably paid. The organizers paid. I think some of the attendees are paid. So some of it might be money. Some of it might be it's the only group that has that much free time and would enjoy this. There are other groups that are unemployed, but would they have enjoyed being there with all the senior citizens? Probably not. So it's not just that they have time, which they do, but they have time that they don't mind spending doing this. They might actually enjoy it and that would not apply to other people.

But I saw the reason I'm even talking about it is I saw somebody say that the reason all these old people are protesting the authoritarianism is because they watch the fake news still. It's a group of people who don't know that sometime in our recent past the news stopped even trying to be news and if all you were doing is just watching the same channels you always watched you would never know that because there's nobody on those channels who tells you they're fake news if you're not tuning into Fox News or Breitbart or if you're not on podcasting, if you're not watching podcasters and stuff. You don't know. You don't know that the news is completely fake. You would think that the stuff that you agree with is real and the stuff that disagrees with you might be fake. And I'll bet you the senior citizens largely believe the news. And if you took that away, meaning if you took their illusion that the news is real, if you took away that illusion, I don't know that they would show up because they wouldn't have anything to rely on anyway. And then some of them might be just genuinely concerned about healthcare, but I suspect that's the minority.

I love it when Trump does things that only Trump would ever do. Like I never get tired of that. When he does a Trumpy thing. Like what's the Trumpiest thing that Trump could ever do? Well, it's going to be hard to top this. So he was at some press events yesterday and Trump says quote, "They say you're the third best president." Third best. And then they said, "Who are the first two? George Washington and Abraham Lincoln." And I got extremely angry at this man. Okay, he cannot entertain me better than this. When Trump says things that you know are going to bother people, I just, my dopamine goes through the roof. I love it when he bothers people. He says it's going to be very tough to beat Washington and Lincoln, but we're going to give it a try, right? And then he goes further. He goes, "Hey, they didn't put out eight wars. Nine coming." All right, we put out eight wars and the ninth is coming. Believe it or not, come on.

Forget about how real any of that is. Forget about how valid the comparison is. It doesn't matter. The fact that he would even say these words in public is so delicious because you can play in your mind the reaction that his critics are having to it like you sort of imagined their heads exploding because he's got a decent argument. It's not that he's right or wrong. It's not that he actually could someday be considered better than those two presidents. What's funny is that you know what the reaction will be. That's the joke and he's the best at this. Anyway, I do like that he sets the bar high for his own performance. He's not trying to leave office with like a good solid 50% approval, which would be amazing. 50%. He's not trying to do that. No, he's trying to be not just the third best president. Come on. I mean that's like not even trying. So he's trying to be the best president in the history of the United States, and he's trying to beat Washington and Lincoln. Maybe.

In other fun news, Robbie Starbuck, I hope you know him as an anti-woke activist, let's call him. But apparently Google, if you did a Google search with their AI not too long ago, they would have been defaming him by calling him a whole bunch of things that definitely do not apply. So they've accused
