Trump has successfully, and I can't even imagine he got to this point, but it's pretty impressive. He's gotten to the point where he beat down the public and he wore people out until he can simply say it's a hoax. Maybe they push back a little bit to get some clarification. But now that's our reality. Our reality is our president thinks it's a hoax and he's got some evidence to back his opinion. A…

esentative Jamie Raskin, who you know as one of the designated liars. So he's one of the ones that I always say if they have a really big lie to tell you and not a normal-sized one, they have a really big one to tell, they bring out the designated liars. Swalwell, Schiff, apparently Letitia James and Raskin. But apparently he was involved in some kind of leaked emails. I talked about this yesterday. And the article I read about it says big names are now officially in the crosshairs. Do you believe that? Do you believe we've finally got to the point where the big names are in trouble and any minute now they're going to be named and handcuffed and taken off to jail? None of that's going to happen. Is it? I don't expect anything to happen. I mean, that's what we're used to. We've been trained to expect nothing. So I expect nothing. I'd like to be surprised.

As you know, the folks on the right, the political right, the MAGA and MAHA and people like that, they've got a little bit of a drama. It's more like other people are creating the drama. But I'm talking about Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson, etc. And I bring it up because Matt Gaetz had an interesting post today. Matt Gaetz said, "I love Trump, MTG, Massie, Tucker, and even those I feel are too accommodating to the worst decisions made by Israel's government." Now, this is Matt Gaetz. He says, "I won't be baited into attacking friends and leaders in our movement because some people disagree on some things."

Not only do I completely agree with Matt Gaetz on his philosophy, which is you can't tell me who to like, you can't tell me who to talk to. You can't tell me what to think when I talk to them. That's not on the table. That is just not on the table. You know, you do you, I do me. But no, you don't tell me who to like. That's not one of the options. And I'm going to add Matt Gaetz to my list. So I would have said the same about MTG and Trump and Massie and Tucker, but I'll throw Matt Gaetz on there. You don't get to tell me if I can talk with Matt Gaetz, right? That's not up to you. That's just up to me.

I was watching one of the Kennedy cousins, Schlossberg, is running for some office. And part of his running for office is he's throwing his cousin or his uncle, whatever RFK Jr. is to him, throwing RFK Jr. under the bus for what Schlossberg I think would consider some nonscientific opinions. Non-scientific.

So I saw Libby Evans, I think the host for this or was she writing about it for Post Millennial? Anyway, this is what Schlossberg said. Quote, "Trump represents a threat unlike any other," unquote, and that necessitates quote "new and creative ways of fighting back." Oh no. Is he another one of these fighting back people? I don't have any policies, but if I say the word fight often enough, you might go away with the impression that I'm a fighter. So we're going to fight fight fight fight. Did anybody change their opinion based on how many times I use the word fight? Not enough. Fight fight fight. Now

anything? How many times do I have to say fight before you change your opinion of my opinion? Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. I think that's enough. When asked if Trump is a fascist, because of course you have to ask that question, Schlossberg said that there are historical analogies. In other words, yeah, he's saying that Trump is a fascist. Now, similar to my earlier conversation wher…
