ng we've been over and over and over and over again. Now when you say we do you mean do you consider yourself part of the left? I am part of the left. But when I say we I mean everybody because I don't think anybody got it right. Well nobody, except for you. Maybe we'll see if I get the Kamala Harris prediction right will you admit that it wasn't a black swan? In other words you're, I know I d…

you see more diversity of opinion on Fox, I'm not sure that's bad. I can see why some of the audience will say get that out of there. But think about the biggest problem of CNN viewers is they literally don't hear the news. Imagine consuming what you think is news all day and then you didn't get any because the left just doesn't show right. On the right, I don't think that they've lost its way. I think they do present the other side better than CNN ever tried to. So there is that. But that's what I'm looking for. Something that would be in the middle in this way.

I saw there's a really good app that I'm going to point you to. I was going to mention this if I can quickly find it. Ground something. Maybe somebody could remind me. But I'll find it quite quickly because I know exactly where I'm looking. And the app is called, this is from Jeff Pilkington. He noticed this. It's called the Ground News.

I haven't looked at it closely but Jeff Pilkington was impressed by it so give it a look. Good. I've sent a lot of people your way and shout out to Tom Tennant. All right thank you. Thank you.

Somebody I'm looking for here if I can find him. He's asked to join. Damn it, oh he keeps disappearing. All right let's try Andres. Andres are you there? Hello. Hi. Do you have a question for me?

Yes basically in the country where I live we have also now people who hallucinate that the government in power basically on the lockdown comes close to the Nazi power grab in 1933. And apparently they are seeing an elephant in the room that the rest of the people are not seeing. I'm just wondering what's a good way to convince somebody they're hallucina

ting something. Convincing somebody that they're hallucinating is almost impossible because they're seeing it with their own eyes. They feel it. You can't talk somebody out of it. But here's the best thing you could do. The best thing you could do is get them to arrive at it through questions. So rather than say you're wrong, you're seeing it wrong, and people just harden in their opinion, you co…
