e, and for some reason nobody else thought to do it. It was just right there. It was just obvious. It's just right here. Pick up the free money. Anybody? Anybody? So that's why Harris did. She's planning to introduce a bill that declares Juneteenth a national holiday. Now your first question should be why her? Well, did nobody else think of that? If President Trump had suggested this first to mak…
← Previous segment →h and call it a debate. Never go deeper. Period. End of story.
I should not say period end of story. I mock that. It's too easy. It's in your brain and then it just comes out. And then when it comes out you go, ah, I wish I had done that.
So watching her go from a self-conscious, nervous-looking laugh to a laugh that is so confident she won't even stop doing it in public. Like she just laughed and called it a debate. You're silly. It's a debate.
Look, let me remind you because I know this is gonna happen. When I say good things about any female politician, somebody in the comments will always say, it doesn't matter who it is, oh you have a crush on her. You love her. You have such a, you want to be with her. So I'm gonna block anybody who does that. It just doesn't add anything.
All right, Brian Stelter, you all know him, CNN. And one of the funniest tweets accidentally he said, Dr. Fauci diagnosing an American problem. Quote, this is from Fauci: There's a combination of an anti-science bias that people are, for reasons that sometimes are inconceivable and not understandable, they just don't believe science and they don't believe authority.
Well, is there anything that could have happened in the last, I don't know, last twelve months or so, anything that would make the public less trusting of experts and authority and science? I'm racking my brain now. Anybody? Can anybody think of anything? An example of some time that the experts were not exactly right? I'm coming up blank. I got nothing.
Now recall my earlier story about Carpe Donktum's meme. The reason it worked is that CNN literally can't tell the difference between parody and reality because they deal with so much fake news that fake news is sort of the hybrid of parody and reality. Like it looks so similar.
So Brian Stelter tweeted this maybe like it wasn't a joke. Like the rest of the country wouldn't laugh at this out loud. You can't read this and not laugh at it. But I don't think Brian Stelter knew that half the country would laugh out loud because his network has been feeding us a nonstop diet of fake news from experts. Every one of the experts who lied to us or got things wrong was featured on CNN. Every one of them. Often. So I mean this is parody and reality merging again.
All right, here's the funniest comment in a tweet that I've seen in a while. And I have to warn you that I have a very lowbrow sense of humor. So this was some lowbrow humor that's actually kind of clever that made me laugh. So I'm doing this cartoon. Most of you have seen it called "Dilbert." No, "Robots Read News." And most of them behind a subscription wall on the Locals platform. So if you want to see all of them, especially the edgier ones that I don't put on Twitter, you can see them by being a subscriber. Locals.com. And you can see the link in my profile on Twitter.
Anyway, the comic I did, I did a comic mocking the claims in the John Bolton book. And the essence of the comic was that the robot was reading

the news and he reported that the book says that President Trump was taking a dump on the Resolute Desk while asking questions about nuking the moon. Now it's funny because the Bolton book is so ridiculous and is so filled with obvious lies, at least obvious to me, that there's nothing that you couldn't expect would be in it. I mean so yeah, so I said that he was on the Resolute Desk while asking…
