r it's called, whatever the f, and she asked Fetterman repeatedly, she tried to get him to say that Trump was a fascist. Like, I need that clip for my show. Call him a fascist. Fetterman would not take the bait. And he said, quote, "I think at this point right now, we are not in an autocracy. We're in a democracy." Well, I'm so sad now. I'm a sad troll. I like to hear that it's an autocracy. Don't say it's a democracy. That makes me sad. Make me happy.

But then Couric said, "But would you concede that some of the things that he is doing, talking about Trump, are clearly anti-democratic and also are potentially even unconstitutional." And Fetterman said, "We happen to have a different view of these things. I don't call people fascists or Nazis or compare people to Hitler." Boom. Boom.

Do you know what that's called? That's what we call the high ground maneuver. Oh, there's a name for it. There's a name for it. And if you can pull off a high ground maneuver in any context, you know, work or politics or your private life, if you can do this, what he just did, you're going to win almost everything. Because the high ground approach is unassailable by definition. It's the one that you can't get higher than. It's the high ground.

So what would be a higher high ground than refusing to debate whether someone is Hitler? That's pretty good. And he's inclusive. He goes, "I don't call people fascists, Nazis, or compare people to Hitler." Now, in a sense, what he did was he compared himself to Katie Couric. He didn't compare Trump to Hitler, but he did compare Katie Couric to some kind of weird troll who would compare other people to Hitler. So that happened. So Fetterman for the win.

It's weird that Fetterman walks into that conversation as the one that we should be mocking as looking like I don't know Shrek or something, but he's done such a good job of redeeming himself that to me he doesn't look like Shrek anymore. Like that just went away. Now I just see a guy who looks like he's trying to help. Looks like he's just trying to make the country better.

So again, I'm no idiot. I know that he's not who I want for my next president. I know that his policies would not match up with what my first choices would be. But that doesn't take away from him the skill that he brings to the game. So there are some people I talk about because of their skill level and other people I talk about because I like their policies. So he's a skill level guy. I'm not going to say he doesn't have skill. I refuse to act as if one of the most skilled people in the game is not there. So I'm going to talk about him.

All right. Apparently, I didn't know about this, but the Trump administration is cracking down on tunnels. I guess there are quite a few tunnels under the border. No surprise. But what I didn't know, this is new, is that there's some technology referred to as the persistent surveillance and detection system, the PDS. Persistent surveillance meaning it's just always on. And apparently there's a way to upgrade it. So we have some cool technology for identifying tunnels. That's kind of cool. I didn't know how much we already had, but apparently we're in good shape on tunnels, technology wise, but we're going to do even more.

Joe Rogan just had a show. His guest was Jeff Dye, comedian Jeff Dye. And I thought Rogan had one of the best observations or insights that I've seen in a long time. So just sort of revel in how smart this is. And part of the reason I present it this way is that part of the magic and skill of Joe Rogan is not making you know how much smarter he is than you because it would be off-putting if he just knew how much smarter he was. He's really smart, but he lives what I call th
