That guy did it.
It wasn't me.
So let's all gang up on these people to direct people's rage at a different source.
It's the same playbook that's existed for a long time, but it's kind of on steroids now due to the internet and due to these algorithms where they just push it out like crazy.
The reality is catching up to them.
Just quick anecdote here.
I can't tell you how many conversations I had over this past weekend alone, just about the high oil prices and gas prices from friends and neighbors in the community.
I mean, it probably came up like six or seven times, like totally unprompted, by the way, of just like I paid $115 and then someone else at the park was like, I paid 130 and became like a whole conversation I got into just at the park alone with my son, you know, just trying to take the day off of everything and people not knowing, you know, necessarily what I do here at the network.
and so it's hitting people like where it hurts and it's in their wallets and it's no wonder why trump's approval rating well disapproval rating i should say is actually one of the highest in american history is disapproval rating it it's unbelievable because these prices again it hits people where it hurts it's their money
Look, leadership is difficult.
Like actually solving problems is hard.
Blaming people is easy.
And so having to both solve problems and rebut disinformation actually is more challenging than lying about everything.
it'd be easy if i just got up here every day and just like just made up a bunch of things you know i mean when donald trump wakes up he makes up fake conversations that he has and he gets the outcome that he wants because heads he wins tells you lose in his fake conversations that you know in his fake deals and things are happening that aren't happening and he just makes it up and you're like well how can you how how can you do that
And it's hard for normal language to rebut that craziness other than to basically have to holistically call it out and say, this dude is psychotic.
Don't believe any word he's saying.
This guy is a weak and pathetic loser.
You have to approach it.
with that kind of mindset because otherwise it almost quibbling with the made-up stuff on it you get kind of lost in the morass of this literally made-up world that he this fiction where these conversations aren't you know aren't even happening and you're grasping to try to find strands of truth or messages in frankly a deranged universe i just want to show you two other quick things
janine pirro she goes on the morning shows and she basically defends that she'll continue to go after jerome powell who's about to be the former chairman of the federal reserve who's going to stay on as a board of governor because the doj she says we're a she's criticizing the judge for quashing her investigation her criminal investigation into jerome powell she goes we're allowed to investigate based on rumors
