. But she did not come across as capable. Did anybody else watch it? Did you have the same impression? I could have been primed, you know, too primed to see it that way. But even so, Laura Ingraham asks her a basic question and she runs off on this long thing and uses up all her time answering the wrong question. And then Laura calls her out like, that wasn't even really the question I asked. She…

tar bigger than the Pentagon. And 70 Republicans even voted for it. And Mollie Hemingway had this post. She said, is it bad I assume all 70 GOP who voted to reward the FBI with a brand new headquarters are also clients of this brothel? So that's saying out loud what a lot of us were thinking, huh? On the very same day. It's almost like they're sending a message. It sounds very much like they were sending a message, doesn't it? Like, you know, we do have the client list from the DC brothel. Here it is. I mean it could leak. I mean leaks happen. You know, it's just funny the timing. It's funny that the timing of when there could be this leak just happens to match up, and this is a coincidence, people, with the time that we needed Congress to do something that they didn't want to do but was good for the FBI. So you know those two stories are just sort of coincidentally, there's no cause and effect. And maybe there isn't. But do you trust it? Or does it, how many times has there been a story where your worst suspicion was exactly what was true? Way too many times. Way too many times.

So when you see this coincidence you say to yourself, I don't even think that is a coincidence. So I don't know what's true, but we have been trained, if you're paying attention you've been trained, not to trust this and to assume that this is a dirty vote and that they just took $300 million of your taxpayer money and put it into something because of blackmail. Maybe. I'm not saying that's true. I'm saying that if you have that as an operating assumption, you probably have a good operating assumption even if it's not right every time.

All right. Jake Novak posted this today on X. He said, was at my local gun shop again yesterday. I like the fact that it's again. He was at his local gun shop twice recently now. Jake has worked for Israel, and so he's got a good insight into this world. And he says he was at the gun shop twice, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that there was a minivan of religious Jews inside within 20 minutes after the store opened. And then Jake says, and I'll say it again, Jews are arming up. Like this is the effective end of the gun control movement in America. Agree? Do you agree with that statement that conservative Jews, well Jews in general, arming up in America is the end of the gun control movement? Now it's not the end of the debate, definitely not the end of the debate, but it does create an almost impossible force to overcome. Because not only do Jewish Americans and people all over the world have now seen this model of what a bunch of people with rifles can do to a bunch of people who don't have them, right? If you always wondered what could that look like, that's what it looks like. The people with the rifles slaughter and torture and rape the people who didn't have rifles. That's it. That's your entire story.

So if you want to be one of those people someday, the ones who were tortured, raped, and had no guns, well you know which way to go. But if you like to have a gun, you also know which way to go. I'm going to add this to my list. Are you ready for this? Added to the list of what? What is the list I'm building? That I'm adding the Jews arming up with guns. Trump was right. The Trump was right list is really impressive at this point. From the border to the wars to gun control. I mean he's racking it up by just staying quiet, you know. And I'm going to say it directly. There is a feeling of Trump's third act that is so strong in my bones that I'm finding it almost impossible to believe that by election day 2024 we will not have a major breaking news scandal about our el

ection process. You can just feel it. It's just sort of trying to get out in every possible way. Does anybody else feel that or is that just my imagination at this point? I would place a substantial bet on a big story about elections between now and 2024. Don't know if it'll be Georgia, don't know if it'll be Fulton County, but I'm going to go with my prediction that the alleged, you know some peo…
