st week. And guess what the overnight is? The overnight is Trump at 59% approval. Does that even seem possible?

Now, Rasmussen gets a lot of criticism from the Democrats, and part of the reason they get criticized is they're one of the most accurate pollsters, and they generally have a better view of Trump, better results on Trump than, let's say, the average of the other pollsters. But they're also closer. So they're consistently more right about Trump-related stuff. So this is incredible. 59% approval.

And I feel like the criticism has just turned into nothing. You know, we'll talk about all the stuff Trump's doing, but I'm just not seeing pushback anywhere. I mean, there's blah blah blah, but not really. It's like the whole country just said we don't have to pretend anymore. Just let Dad do what Dad does, and we just don't need to pretend that we disagree with everything all the time automatically. Unbelievably good.

So now you know how Trump's job performance is doing. I would say that Trump and the Republicans are having, in my lifetime, maybe the best week they've ever had. Would that be fair to say? Would it be fair to say that in my entire lifetime there's never been a better week for Republicans? I think that's true. I can't think of any time that they got more done, controlled the narrative, changed everything that needed to be changed. You know, did 2016 by now it's X more. I mean, I've never seen anything like this.

So we know that Trump's doing well and the Trump effect is in force. But let's not forget there's another major political party, and you know they could be doing good things too but maybe getting overshadowed because of the news coverage. So I wanted to check in just to make sure Democrats are also getting some stuff done. And yes, turns out Democrats are making some inroads. Specifically, there's a Mississippi Democrat, I think it is a first-year on the job, and he's introducing some legislation in Mississippi to make it illegal for men to masturbate because he thinks masturbation should be limited to reproduction. So according to the legislation, it would be okay if you wore a condom when you masturbate. I don't think I'm making that up. That's the way I read it. I think this is real. I'm not making any of this up.

That's right. President Trump is reviving the economy, establishing America as the great superpower, putting 10,000 people on the border to close it for good. But not to be outdone, a Democrat in Mississippi is trying to make it illegal to masturbate. It would be a first penalty of $1,000. I just want to know how they get the information. Are you supposed to self-report? Is it like the gift tax? They just expect you to tell them?

So it's $1,000 for the first offense. The second one would be $5,000. And if you whack off three times, the third one would be $10,000. And all I'm thinking is if I lived in Mississippi, I'd be sitting there thinking, all right, it's $10,000, maybe just twice. Anyway, that's real.

This is also real. According to a writer in Red State, Karine Jean-Pierre, the recent spokesperson for Biden, she's being profiled in Vanity Fair now. You say to yourself, okay, I mean Vanity Fair does sort of high-profile attractive-looking people. She's an attractive person. She's high-profile, so that makes sense. And then I read on. She wrote the profile herself. Okay, that's funny. Did she write a glowing profile of herself for Vanity Fair? It's actually called Vanity Fair. If it weren't called vanity, it wouldn't be so fun that she wrote it herself, you know what I mean?

But it gets funnier. Can anybody guess what she's blaming for her lack of success? If you guessed racism, if you guess racism is what she's blaming for a lack of screaming success, you'd be right. She says it's racism. Yep, yep.

Imagine being alive and not being aware that for the past 40 years, 40 years, the best thing you could be is anything but a white man in terms of employment. For 40 years it's been true, absolutely hard true, for 40 years that the worst thing you could possibly be is a white man in any kind of American job. The best thing? What's the best thing you could be for the past 40 years? Black female lesbian. It's number one in the entire stacking of the ridiculousness that the Democrats brought us for the last 40 years. It's number one on the best thing you could possibly be for your career. There's nothing higher than that.

But imagine being so stupid you don't even know that. You don't even know that everything was stacked in your direction. That's amazing. 40 years it's been true, and it hasn't been just a little bit true. It's been the most true, obvious, documented. Ask any single person who's been alive and been in a corporate world for 40 years. It's the truest true thing that there has ever been true. And she doesn't know it. What kind of a weird imaginary world is that? So weird.

The Wall Street Journal has an article. Now I can't believe this is really being discussed. Just hold in your mind all the conversations we've had on this topic and then be amazed that it's a headline story today. Today it's still a story. All right, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that I guess there's some maybe some changes that might be coming to the dietary guidelines in the United States from the government. And there's a big debate whether drinking a little bit of alcohol is good for you.

It's 2025. By now we're completely aware that unless the study is actually paid for by the alcohol business, they all say it's bad for you. It's the most well-understood thing in science. Of course every drink is bad for you. But because the alcohol industry still has some sketchy studies out there, they're like, well, look at my study. I know you've got 10 studies, but look at my four studies. And so they're still arguing whether a little bit of alcohol is actually good for your health. Yeah, a little bit of poison is just what you need. A little bit of poison.

Well, here's what they could have done to save some time. They could have asked Scott. And here's how that conversation would have gone. The experts would say, Scott, is alcohol bad for people even in low doses? We can't tell because the data is mixed. And then here's what I would say. Maybe you should check who funds the studies saying poison is good for you. Then the experts would say, you are a genius. Thank you for saving us so much money and time. I'm pretty sure that's how it would go.

So next time, guys, ladies, next time you have a question about whether alcohol is good for you, big time-saver: ask Scott.

Over in the UK, the UK being stupid again. When was the last time you heard a story about the UK that wasn't about them being stupid? I don't even remember one. It's either they're lying or stupid or weasels. Like every story about the UK is that. A coincidence? Or have they turned into lying, stupid weasels? I mean, you know, my instinct is that's the news that is catching my attention. They must be doing something right, right? Is there anything that the UK is doing right?

But here's a story, just a small one, that the BMW UK group, the BMW has decided to announce that it is no longer going to post on X. Number one, why would you announce it? What would be the point of announcing that? Well, the only thing I can think of is that they're announcing it because they're protesting something that Elon must have did. Can you think of any other reason? I can't.

So BMW is protesting X. They're doing it at exactly the same time that I was trying to figure out what my next car will be, which has taken me a few years to figure out because I'm right on the fence between going electric, which seems like obviously the future, and staying in gas as long as I can because gas stations are more plentiful. So I was kind of on the fence. But I was thinking, you know, another BMW. That's what I've been driving for years. Maybe one more. And then I see this. We're not the UK, so it's not the UK BMW, but I'm not cool with that. I'm not cool with you being such buttholes. So you have to announce you're doing it.

I wouldn't even care if they simply didn't do it. If they simply didn't do it, I'd be like, I don't even know. I don't care. You know, not everybody has to do everything. It doesn't matter if somebody's not doing something. But announcing it, announcing it, that's just being dicks. I'm not going to drive the automobile of dicks. So I'm probably going to get a Tesla because BMW UK are just being dicks. Like the cool thing about BMW is I like the brand. The cars are very good. But I like the brand. Like it just felt right. Sometimes your personality or something matches a brand. But I don't want to be driving a dick car. So probably that'll push me into the Tesla. Just my guess. We'll see. That's not a final decision.

AOC was on John Stewart's podcast, and they had great agreement and a good laugh over the question of Democrats being hypocrites by being in favor of insider trading. Now both Stewart and AOC say directly it is insider trading, which is legal. It's specifically legal if you're in Congress. Now I actually understand why they have that rule. I don't know, has anybody explained to you why they have the rule that they can do insider trading? I don't. You know, I'm sure it's just self-interest, but the rationalization would be that you would be essentially prohibiting them from just normal investing because sooner or later something they normally invest in is going to look like they had insider information. Next thing you know they're going to get arrested for just making ordinary investments like every other American.

So I'm actually quite sympathetic to allowing them to do it. But I think we should have more transparency. I think this is one where instead of banning it, let's just know exactly who's doing what. The midpoint, the only midpoint I can imagine is if the Congress had its members don't invest in these topics because they're part of upcoming discussions. So get there before the discussion and say we're going to put a moratorium just on, let's say, these six companies just for a few months because that's when we're going to have more information than the public. I don't know if there was a practical way to make that happen. That'd be good. Or alternately just tell the public which things the Congress is talking about and then show us what people are investing in. Full transparency. And then when that person runs for election, their opponent says, well, you know, here's the watchdog list. Here's what they were talking about. Here's what he invested in. That could matter. I could see
