ll right. Now I'm not going to uncritically assume that the defendant is telling the truth. That would be sort of a stretch. But do you think that Romania is acting in a way that sounds like just a government looking to handle crime? There's something else going on there, isn't there? Don't you feel like there's something else going on? Yeah. Now, do you think that one way to characterize the Tat…

g that. So management was not racist. Rather that Don Lemon was being called a racist. And Don Lemon was being called a racist because when he interviewed Vivek Ramaswamy, he said something along the lines of that Ramaswamy couldn't speak about the post-Civil War history because Ramaswamy wasn't black. Is that racist? I guess so. I mean, technically yes. Okay. So Don Lemon was a racist misogynist, as were basically all men in all of our stories.

How about a story that's not okay? We have a story that's not about men and women fighting and the men losing because that seems to be the theme. All right, here's one that just has nothing to do with that. Elizabeth Warren wants to pack the courts so that they can get what they want without having to worry about the majority of the Republicans. So at least that has nothing to do with, you know, women blaming men for stuff, right? Oh yes, except that that's exactly what it is. It's a woman blaming the men on the Supreme Court for abortion decisions basically. Because this is all about abortion. I don't think they were going to pack the court until there was an abortion question. And what about guns? Maybe something about guns. Do you think guns are maybe sort of have a gender split too? Maybe so.

Here we have Elizabeth Warren trying to destroy the most important part of the republic, which is that we don't pack the court. If I could come to Earth as some kind of a god and tell America how the one thing they have to do right — imagine I just appear as an angel. I have come to Earth to tell America you can do almost everything wrong and recover. There's just one thing. I just want to ask you, just do one thing right. Don't pack the court. It's the only thing that could destroy everything. Everything else we can figure out. But if you pack the court, it's over.

Now how does she not know this? I think she puts the goal above the system. I put the system above the goal. I understand that they have a goal of having the Supreme Court make different decisions. I got it. But if it were the other way, I wouldn't want to destroy the courts to get those specific decisions. Especially if it's something that God has said to the state like abortion. But to me this looks like a decision she doesn't like. And so she's going to do something to destroy the entire civilization so those men won't make that bad decision anymore. She wants to destroy — not wants to, but her proposal has a pretty high risk of destroying the republic and maybe all of human civilization as a consequence of that. So that's special.

Biden made his announcement and he's got a theme for his announcement. His theme will be that he will be telling lots of lies about Trump. So that's his sleeve. So he's going to start with the January 6 lies. He's going to go to the soul of the nation. That's the Charlottesville fine people lie. And probably a few other lies. So he's basing his campaign on lying about Trump. I wouldn't expect much more than that actually.

Do you think that the Democrats are feeling trapped? Do you think that Trump can finish off Biden this time if it turns out to be Trump versus Biden, which is sort of looking like — I don't know. I thought Trump was going to make an easy work of Biden the first time, except for the let's say the changes to the voting system because the pandemic just made everything different. But don't you think Trump has more to work with this time? Last time it was all a hypothetical. Well, if you elect Biden, you will do these bad things. But now we've seen Biden. So there's specific things to talk about, right? Energy, blah blah.

Well, many of you think this system is rigged and that Trump can't win. Do you think that the Republicans will do an adequate job of making sure that they're monitoring elections better? I don't. I don't think the Republicans did anything useful. So I wouldn't be surprised if the campaign makes no difference to the outcome. It wouldn't surprise me. Would it surprise you? Don't you think you could see a campaign that clearly indicates one person is going to win but then the other person wins and you wouldn't be surprised? Because we don't believe the system at this point. Yeah.

So I have no evidence that the election system is rigged. I have no evidence of that. I only have a brain which tells me that if anything can be rigged, it will be if it can. And do you think that the election is something that can be rigged? Of course. Of course in some way, big or small. And someday, today or later or yesterday. But yeah, it's a riggable system. So therefore it will be. Just eventually. We don't know if it happened yet or in the future.

All right. So Biden put out his little video. Yeah, he's going to focus on January 6. Isn't that convenient that Tucker Carlson, the primary person who pushed back on Janu

ary 6, disappears right before Biden announces that he's running and it's all going to be about January 6 stuff? Interesting. That's a lucky coincidence for Biden right there. All right. Speaking of January 6, in a story that reminds me of it, apparently a bunch of left-wing protesters descended on Montana's capital, disrupting proceedings in the State House of Representatives. This was in suppor…
