gs that are positive, more of things that you want, more of things you've enjoyed, more of things that inspire you, more of things that you just love, and you will crowd out that time you wasted with negative thoughts. That's your reframe for the day.

All right, let's talk about the news. You might have heard that the government has reopened. Well, so what the hell was that?

Oh, hold on. The fly has landed. We're going to try. No, that didn't work. We're going to be trying some anti-fly. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Damn it. I'm not as fast as a fly. What was I thinking?

So it really is going to be in my face the entire show. Wow. Wow. Government reopened. Nobody cared. We all sort of expected it would go the way it went and here it is now it's open and what did we learn? Nothing. But the best lesson that came out of this I think came from Greg Gutfeld. You're saying it on *The Five* that if you happen to be on what you consider the winning side of the government reopening and the Republicans probably think they're on the winning side, it's a mistake to say the other side caved.

Do you all understand why? It's really important. If you expect to work with these people ever again and you get a good outcome from one negotiation, in other words, you get what you want, don't say they caved. Even if you're just an observer and you want more of whatever they caved to, you don't have to be part of the process. Don't use that word. Don't say that they lost like dogs. What good is that to you? It feels good for like a second and then you can never work with them again, but also you can never work with anybody else again because anybody who sees you act like that is going to be like, "Oh, so let me get this straight. If I negotiate in good faith and I give up a little behind my back or even publicly, they're going to call me some kind of caving loser. Why would I do anything for you?"

So Trump is the champion, as I've often said, of making the largest gap between keeping him happy and what would happen if you didn't make him happy. So by reopening the government, in a sense, they made him happy. And correct me if I'm wrong, will you? Did Trump ever say they caved? Because I'll be real disappointed if he did, but I'll bet he didn't. Can you give me a fact check on that? It's only the pundits who said they caved, right? Because I feel like Trump would be way too smart to say that. All it would do is give up some power. Why would he just give away some power?

You know, far better would be to reward the people instead of mocking them. He should reward the people who ended up on his side of this. So that's what you should learn.

The shutdown itself was just another symbol of the total incompetence of our system.

No more Rumble streams. I've heard some people say there's something different on Rumble and I don't know the answer to it, but I believe there might be two Rumble streams that started at the same time and that's sort of a new thing. One of them maybe isn't real. So it's possible that you clicked the wrong Rumble stream, but I'm not positive about that. There's just something going on that I don't know.

X changed their user interface today. So it was quite an interesting morning.

All right, here's another one. Another persuasion lesson. You ready for this? There's a clip of me talking about this. Jason Cohen did a clip on this and it's a clip where I'm talking about how it's a mistake for the Democrats to say that they need a fighter. Do you know why?

Like compare these three things. Make America great again. Make America healthy again. Or we need a fighter. Got to fight. Fight fight. Which one of those are useful?

All right, here's the reframe. This one's actually really important. If you get this and
