ould and they do they attract people from the other side. But if you're a Republican and you turn on MS Now you just go what the hell? It's just all poorly produced. So and poorly produced and they don't have as good a host. They don't have a Greg Gutfeld, for example. Right. Who is a Greg Gutfeld? They just don't have one. Makes a big difference.

Well, here's a weird story I don't understand. So are you aware that in Iran I guess this week there were massive street protests and you know the streets are full of people who are mad at the regime. Now I think that's happened before but it didn't turn into anything. Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, every one of them are more talented than anything you see on MS Now. So at the same time the Iranian public is doing some massive protests in Israel according to the Jerusalem Post Mossad. So that would be Israel's intelligence agency. They posted a message on X in Farsi, the language of Iran, urging demonstrators to act, saying that it was with them in the streets. It's with them in the streets. And said, go out together into the streets. The time has come. It said it will join them. It says we are with you. Not only from a distance and verbally, we are with you in the field. So Mossad is admitting that they're literally on the ground participating with the protesters. Now, does that seem like a good idea to you? I'd love to know why they thought that was a good idea. Because everything I know about people is that the Iranians would be maybe plenty happy to find their own way away from the regime. But as soon as the country that's bombed them says, you know, I'm with you, doesn't that immediately make them bond together and say, wait a minute, this is up to us. Get out of here. How in the world is that good for Israel? I don't understand. Maybe I'm just speculating. Maybe Mossad thinks that if the Iranians think they have support from even Israel that would embolden them. That's not the way things usually work. Usually it works the other way. So you know, they're not stupid, obviously. Fake news. No, it was actually on the Mossad X account. So the X account I think that's real. Anyway, it's either very clever or it's not. I know. I'm just going to watch that one.

According to TechCrunch, the number of followers you have on social media has never mattered less. Now here they're talking about people monetizing, but apparently the thing that moves your traffic is not how many followers you amassed. It has to do with how good your clipping service is. So apparently there are all these young people who are making clips and that's the way people discover things now. They call it teenage clipping army. So it's now a well-developed market. So if you were an independent internet producer, you could amass a very large following. Let's say in my case I've got 1.3 million followers on X but still even with 1.3 million followers a lot of people who follow me don't see my content and I'm not alone you know people have been complaining about this for a while that they amass all these followers and they can tell that the followers are not seeing their content but what they are seeing or what people are seeing is clips. Now, you may have noticed that there are more clips from my content than you've ever seen before. I don't pay for that, in case you're wondering. But you've seen Jay and is it Jason Cohen? You've seen some other people clipping me and that does make a big difference. Sometimes it just depends if the clip goes viral. So in case you're wondering, I do not pay for a clipping service of teenagers.

Well, did you hear the story that apparently earlier this month the CIA launched a military attack on a base or a port in Venezuela and it blew up some and we never heard of it. But the weird part is Venezuela didn't mention it. How in the world did we attack a land-based major facility in Venezuela weeks ago and Venezuela never mentioned it? But apparently Trump wasn't happy about that. So he mentioned it on a radio show and he said that they destroyed quote a big plant or facility where ships come in. And then he was asked who did it and he was shy about it which everybody assumes means the CIA. And then apparently Trump wanted Venezuela to know about it or the world to know about it. So he heard it. Some in the CIA are not happy that he owned it. But obviously we didn't intend it to be a secret because we would have assumed Venezuela would have mentioned it. But they didn't. So he did anyway.

I'm loving this story about the well, let me give you some context. Have you ever watched a movie or a TV show where the villain was the interesting one and then you found yourself rooting for the villain and you didn't feel good about yourself? Like I can't root for the villain. Well, I'm having that experience in the real world because one of the tankers is empty, so there's no oil in it, but the US was going to board and seize a tanker that was leaving Venezuela. And the reason we had the authority to grab it is that it was allegedly misidentifying itself and maybe had a fake flag. But instead of surrendering, which you'd expect a tanker to do if the entire US Navy told you to slow down, we're going to board you. You would not expect them to run for it because they know they can't outrun us, right? But these are the bad guys. Yeah, I'm just using my analogy of bad guys. So the bad guys decide to do a U-turn and instead of surrendering, they're going to run for it. Now, to me, first of all, I thought, how in the world could that work? But now there's a new twist. Apparently, they painted a Russian flag on the side of it to pretend that they were a Russian flagged ship. Now, apparently this slowed down our navy because we didn't want to seize a Russian flagged ship. We wanted to seize it if it was misidentified, but we can't prove it's misidentified because we don't know for sure if Russia said, "Okay, yeah, you're Russian." You know, there's a process by which you would reflag, but there's nothing to stop Russia from saying, "All right, yeah, sure. If you want to just say you're Russian," and then they paint a Russian flag on the side of the ship, and then they can't be taken down. Again, I'll put it in the context of I don't want to root for the bad guys, but if they get away with this, that
