Good morning. You ready for the simultaneous nothing? We're going to do the simultaneous cough. You guys do the talking today. I'm going to check to see if there's any interesting stories

on X.

Let's see. All the stories seem to be about fraud. You notice that? At least on social media it's like fraud, fraud, fraud.

All right, let me go look at the stories that I have. There I am.

Let's see. We got the Clinton Foundation. And did you know that the Clinton Foundation was set up by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell? Did you know that?

So doesn't that pretty much tell you that's everything you thought it was?

Then my other favorite story. You remember when Gaddafi died and Hillary Clinton said we came, I came, I saw, I conquered. And then she laughed. And people say, "Wait a minute."

Oh, I can't believe my laptop was not plugged in all night. All right, we're only going to get five minutes today. Unless I don't think this works on my laptop. Where does it... Oh, wow. My battery works on my laptop.

So I might turn off my microphone a few times to cough it out. I've been coughing for 12 hours straight.

All right. What about California's state auditor published a scathing report about Newsom and billions of dollars missing? Of course, eight agencies in California named high-risk, which means they're stealing stuff.

Yesterday at dinner something went down the wrong pipe and has triggered 12 hours of sneezing so far.

Inflation stepped down. Is it really? I don't believe the inflation numbers.

Let's see. Lee Zeldin talking about Stacy Abrams and the $2 billion that she tried to abscond with.

So I don't know if you notice, if you're on X, almost all the stories are about gigantic Democrat fraud. You got the Minnesota fraud, the California fraud, it looks like the Stacy Abrams NGO fraud.

Then we've got Jonathan Turley, not fraud, but talking about Eric Swalwell, who missed more votes than anybody else except a dead guy.

Democrats are just killing it, aren't they?

So the Rolls-Royce company is going to move out of Britain because the regulations were too much, out of the UK anyway, and coming to America. So we'll get the Rolls-Royce manufacturing, some of it.

Anyway, here's one I don't believe. See if you believe this one. See if you believe this one. Wall Street Apes is writing about this. The Federal Reserve has revealed that there are $14 trillion in losses. $14 trillion.

Now that would answer my question of how in the world did we lose all our money? Looks like we lost $14 trillion just on losses, which as you know are often if not always fraudulent.

Then there's the Jack Smith situation who as far as we know is... Whoa. Nice cat.

Rolls-Royce. Yeah, Rolls-Royce makes nuclear reactors but jet engines too.

It all adds up. $14 trillion. I'm sure they've already spent it on stupid stuff.

Let's see. According to the Heritage Foundation, Tulsi Gabbard is saying that 50% of intelligence analyst time was going to DEI.

Checking on the pea

cocks. Well, people are mad that I think that Rob Reiner is bad for the world. I'm trying to get something out of my craw. You know, I think it's funny that Trump is getting everybody wound up. Did you see the funny pictures he put on the Hall of Presidents? So he's got this Hall of Presidents and it just insults Obama and Biden. That's pretty funny. If Rob Reiner had only made movies and just…
