Boom ba-ba-boom. In case you're worried that my face looks very red, I will tell you that that's the lighting in the mirror. I don't look like I'm about to have a heart attack. I'm halfway through eating, but Rand Paul made the morning too interesting. I just gulped Doritos. Breakfast is still ongoing. Mmm. And if somebody says you look old, this is how I look when I just wake up after a long nig…

Why am I being an idiot? Let me block you. I'm blocking all the Hitlers. Goodbye, Hitlers.

So have you been noticing my technique of blocking Nazis? Whoops, here I am. Have you noticed my technique of blocking Nazis on Twitter seems to be having an effect? If you go back three months ago, the number of people accusing anybody who supports Trump in any way, including me, of being Nazis, there was non-stop. It's like Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, analogy, Nazi analogy, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.

And so I think it was a month ago or so I started non-stop labeling all of my critics Nazis. And the criteria for labeling somebody a Nazi is, in this context, the criteria is that they come after me personally. If they disagree with the politics or the ideas, that's fine. They can stay all day. But if they come after me personally in any way, in any way, if it's personal, Nazi, goodbye.

Now what happens when people call you a Nazi and they give a reason and then they act on it? All right, calling you a Nazi by itself doesn't mean much. Calling you a Nazi and then giving you a reason which you say, "Ooh, yeah, yeah, that's a reason," and then acting on it, actually penalizing them by blocking them, it's very powerful. You know, it might be more powerful when I do it because I'm famous. Yes, the chat will show in a minute.

All right, I did not see that coming. Somebody said it feels like the Nazi thing is disappearing. That was my plan. My plan was to drive it into nonexistence by labeling the other side Nazis with reasons. You know, never without a reason. I only do it if there's a specific reason. Let's drink to that.

Trademark in West Virginia? I don't know about that. Just looking at your comments right now.

All right, so did you see the list of priorities being tweeted around? I think I talked about this before. Of the country's priorities, and climate change isn't even on the top 36. There was another poll of 18 priorities, and climate change came in 17th out of 18. What happened to climate change? Why did climate change go from the biggest issue in the world literally to not an issue? Give me your…
