. And Trump said something or did something authoritarian. Yeah, you did not see that coming. And other surprises in the news, Adam Schiff is accused of lying. There's a new photo of a UAP, but we couldn't get a clear photo of it. So that catches you up on all the news. Did I leave anything out? No. Well, here's an update on the simulation. One of the ways I know we live in a simulation, or at l…

king today or maybe something else wasn't working. I don't know what else is working but a few things are working. Looks like Rumble's working and I don't know, did Locals disappear? Locals looks like it might be working and YouTube is working the best. Forty-five hundred.

All right. So if you're just joining, we're doing an experiment in which I see if I can do a show without any preparation because the internet was broken, so I didn't get to prepare. And so I learned from my Dale Carnegie course how to always have something ready. You notice how I always had something ready. In this case, the reframes were just sort of a natural thing you could do. But I could have taken questions. I could have said, "Oh, today we're only going to talk about all the things in the Epstein file, except that's boring." So but in general, you should always have a backup presentation. So if your regular presentation gets lost, the digital file gets lost, whatever happens, you can just stand up in front of a bunch of people and do a presentation.

So but you see how easily I can do it. Yeah. You see how effortless this is. And it's only because of practice. It's not effortless because I have some natural skill. It's effortless because I've done it most of my adult life. And the more you practice, the easier it is.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's 7:40 and I'm going to assume that longer is not better in this particular case. So we're going to wind down. We'll see you tomorrow when we figure out who cares about the Epstein files and all those other things. And I hope this was at least a little bit entertaining to you. I hope you learned that no matter how scary it is, you can figure out how to make it work. You can always figure out how to make it work. You don't need to be that prepared. You can make most things work if you just jump in and make it work. That's just what I'm doing right here. So I'm trying to model it as I do it.

And I will see you all tomorrow. I don't think I can go private on Locals. Let me see. I'll try to go private on Locals, but it might just disappear. Oh no, that didn't work. Wow. Okay. I don't know what happened when I clicked that. So it doesn't look like I can go private. So I guess I'll just see you all tomorrow. Tomorrow.
