So if you are thinking like me that something just doesn't sit right about this alleged assassination attempt that occurred at the White House Correspondence Center, if you are thinking that something just ain't adding up about what happened at the White House Correspondence Center and likely what even happened in Pennsylvania, if to you it just don't make sense, I want you to know that there's a lot of evidence here that would suggest you ain't crazy. There's a lot of evidence here that would suggest you have a reason to be skeptical. There's a lot of evidence here that would make you honestly logical to question the narrative that you are hearing in the mainstream spaces right now. There's a lot of evidence here that might get you to a point where you might start questioning things rather than taking things at face value. In a political world that is defined by unending chaos, crisis, and unprecedented action, politics as usual is no longer an option. Instead, this is a moment that requires bold, fearless, and fierce truth telling. And that's exactly what you'll find right here on Fearless Politics. I'm your host, Dr. Avis. Buckle up, it's time to be fearless. But there may be some of you out there who are thinking, hmm, was this really an assassination attempt? I have some questions. I have some thoughts. And even though we've seen quite a lot of information come out already, we know who the alleged attempted assassin is. We've seen his manifesto. We heard that he sent his family a copy of his manifesto literally just a few minutes before he went on this ill-fated journey of trying to get into the room with the president and others during the White House correspondence dinner. Even after hearing all that, you're just thinking, some don't sit right, something ain't right, something seems a little off to me. If that's you, then I want you to know that this episode of Fearless Politics is all about fearlessly breaking it all down. All right. So let's get right to the nitty-gritty. A lot has happened in the last couple of days, has it not? Oh my goodness, what the hell? Yet another alleged assassination attempt. And you might be wondering what is going on. We have had multiple assassination attempts against this one president. How is that possible? Well, I will say a lot of people are asking that. In fact, a lot of people are even wondering if this is a legitimate assassination attempt or is it a false flag? I want to say first that people on the left are not the only ones wondering if this president is capable of pulling off a false flag operation. In fact, recently, several people on the MAGA side of the spectrum have been wondering that too. Not just about this most recent event, but several instances of individuals on the right wondering if what happened in Pennsylvania that actually kicked off Trump's political resurrection was in fact a legitimate assassination attempt. There have been statements made by the likes of Tucker Carlson, made by the likes of Candace Owens, made by individuals all around what had been the base of what got him elected that are now thinking, huh, maybe that whole situation was faked. So in addition to the likes of Tucker and Candace, you've had other podcast bros that were responsible for ushering Trump into office come out now and specifically argue that, huh, maybe he faked the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Ah, don't take my word for it. Let's take a listen to Tim Dillon, who recently on his podcast posed that same question. In fact, he had some advice for Trump. He said, Hey, go ahead and admit it. Tell him that's what you did, and you did it for a good reason. Let's take a listen.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe the assassination was like not something that we we don't know the full story. So maybe it was staged, maybe it was faked, maybe it was some kind of message to him, although I don't understand that because it it almost I mean, I don't get it. I don't get how close you would come the ear, the top of the ear. But I think maybe it was staged. And that and and I think now is the time to just come out and say some people are gonna be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it is and how important it was to vote for me and how how far I was willing to go for them. Maybe the assassination was like not something that we we don't know the full story.

SPEAKER_00

All right, you guys. So that is that. That is someone who is known to have supported Trump during the presidential election. That is someone who is one of those right-leaning podcasters. I'm not gonna allege that he's the most far right person, but he was definitely one of those podcasters who was part of this role culture that led to great expansions of young men voting for Trump in the presidential election. And he is saying that what happened in Pennsylvania was in fact a false flag. He is saying that not only does he believe that it's fake, he believes that Trump should just come out and admit it was fake. Now, if Trump's own supporters, if Trump's own supporters are now at a space in which they themselves are suggesting that what happened in Pennsylvania was faked, then I think that it makes sense to at least think more critically about what we just witnessed. I think it makes sense to do that. And so today I really want to unpack what we know right now and move forward with that, and then you come to your own conclusions. All right. I know for me, I find it very suspect. I find it very, very suspect. So here's what I will say before we go into that one more thing about the Pennsylvania experience. I showed you where now even his own people are suggesting that it was staged. I want to also tell you, without divulging any specific names, without divulging any specific network, I want to also tell you that I have several friends that have worked and currently work in the mainstream media as a media commentator. And one of those friends told me that when this happened in Pennsylvania, that there were several people, including him, who questioned it, who thought that it seemed suspect, who believed that it was likely staged. And he said that he was told, along with his colleagues in that mainstream network, well-respected major news network, that they'd better not say a peep about that suspicion. That they need to keep that undercover, that they cannot say that on air. And so it became very clear that if you say something like this live on television, you can consider your career gone. And I just want to say that's one of the things that makes independent media so important. Because we say what we want to say. Now I will say, I just got a notification on TikTok that I'm spreading disinformation. No, I'm sharing what a MAGA person said. But then again, we also know who now owns TikTok. So I do want you to realize that we are still in a very compressed society, that the ownership of the media is being more and more consolidated in right-wing hands, that that might cause things. There we go. There we go. And as soon as I said that, my TikTok live was removed. Hello. Isn't that surprising? It's not to me. But I will say it verifies what I'm saying that the information that we are receiving is being shaped. And so that's why it's now more important than ever that we ask the hard questions, that we begin to have these conversations where we can share facts with one another so that you can make your own informed decision about what you choose to believe and what you choose not to believe. And so I want to take a minute today to really continue to unpack what we know now. So the sequence of events that happened at the White House Correspondence Dinner. One of the things that I find very interesting is that it's now being reported that on the day of this event, that all of a sudden the elevator was unlocked in the hotel. What do I mean by that? You know that oftentimes certain hotels, in order to get to your floor after you check in, you have to touch your key onto a key fob in order to go up to whatever floor that your room is on. So, in essence, it really controls where you can and cannot go in that hotel as a safety measure, even when there's no dignitaries there. This is something that not only most hotels do, or many hotels do, it is something that this specific hotel does. This hotel was actually the same hotel that Ronald Reagan was leaving when he experienced his assassination attempt. And so one would think that this is a hotel then that would be a little bit on high alert in situations like this. And even beyond that, in this day and age, it is rather normal that hotels limit your navigation of their space by having you use your key fob or your hotel room key to limit what floors you can and can't get off on. On this day, that function was not working in that hotel. I find that suspicious. I will say this. I do have personal experience of making multiple trips to the White House, to the main area of the White House, the East Wing, the West Wing, as well as the White House office building. I've attended multiple events in public venues that included the president of the United States, not this president, not this president, but in other situations. And so I will say I'm familiar with the level of security that it takes when a president is speaking in a public event. And it is a high level of security. Now, obviously, when you're not in the White House, it's less. Okay. You have to go through very, you have to submit all of your information in advance before you can even come into the White House. They run a background check on you before the day that you're supposed to even go there. So it's a very different level of scrutiny. However, in terms of public events, they do have multiple areas where you have to go through a level of security where your bags are checked. You have to walk through those electric monitors that they have that they use to make sure that you're not carrying any weapons or carrying any metal on you at all. Typically, there are a couple of different layers of that. And there's always lots of police, security, and obviously Secret Service around. That is always the case. But it's interesting that on this day, as I mentioned, that you would have this huge security breach with regards to the elevator and access to that space that would be available to anyone. I find that to be very odd. I also find odd the reaction to this. I find odd the reaction to it. I saw a picture of good old Pete Hegzith. My favorite nemesis to talk about because he gives you so much material of his incompetence and ridiculousness. But I would think that if you are the Secretary of Defense and there was a legitimate threat to not only your life, but the life of the president, the vice president, and the speaker of the house. Like now we got to go way down the line of succession if someone gets in there and actually starts murdering people. So it's a very compromising, potentially compromising situation. It's a very, very serious situation. I would find it odd if I'm him to react in the way that he reacted. Now, let me just share with you a little something that I saw that I found very interesting. That's a picture of good old Pete after the president's remarks following the assassination attempt. Look at him backstage laughing. He appears to be laughing. Look at him backstage grinning. It just is an odd reaction. Does it prove anything? No. But it's an odd reaction. I find that suspicious. Is there anybody else here that finds that suspicious? I don't know about you, but I find that suspicious. Now that's not the only suspicious thing that I want to share with you. I found Trump's remarks right after this to be suspicious. It was kind of odd. Okay, so your life was just threatened. And then two minutes into your remarks to the public, you say this.

SPEAKER_03

We looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight. And I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building. And uh I didn't want to say this, but uh, this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's uh much more secure. It's got it's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons. But today's uh Are you serious?

SPEAKER_00

We supposed to believe that they've been wanting the ballroom for 150 years. That's nuts. Really, Trump? They've been wanting the ballroom for 150 years, they've been demanding it. No, they haven't. This man lies pathologically. This is why it's so hard to believe anything that happens is legitimately happening because he lies so frequently about things that he doesn't even need to lie about. Why would you even say that? People have been demanding a secured ballroom for 150 years. Are you kidding me? So I find it odd that here he is, supposedly, after getting his life threatened in this way, that he's once again complaining about this damn ballroom, which we know is not just a ballroom, which entails a bunker that he's creating under the ballroom. And so it makes me wonder what are his ultimate plans for this bunker that he is so fixated on creating. Now, he followed this up with a tweet on Truth Social that essentially said the same thing. He made a claim that they've been wanting it for 150 years, that presidents have been wanting this for 150 years. And you know what? He sent out basically the bat signal to Republicans and Republican sympathizers, and they answered. All right, since he did that, you've been having Republicans being more vocal about their support for the ballroom. You had Megan McCain post on X, I don't want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump's new ballroom at the White House. That's really interesting. After he so dishonored her father, but loyalty apparently means nothing to them, okay. Then you have the dino, that's what I'm gonna call him a dino, a Democrat in name only, Senator John Fetterman, who posted, this was reported in Axios today, that people should drop the Trump derangement syndrome and build a White House ballroom for events exactly like these. Now, first of all, let's just interject some facts into this situation. The White House correspondence dinner is not something that is developed, arranged, orchestrated, put together, planned, produced by the White House. So this nonsense about we need the ballroom so it can happen in the ballroom is straight up bullshit because White House officials do not determine the location of the White House correspondence dinner. There is an entire White House correspondence organization that does that independently. In fact, it would really be rather against their ethos to have the White House do it because the whole point is to come together for this one night, but ultimately there is a separation between the government and the press. And they are proud of that independence. And so they have their own organization, they have their own dinner, they have their own functions around the time of the dinner that has nothing to do with the White House. None of it ever happens at the White House. But I find it very interesting that he is using this event to promote moving forward with the ballroom, which is ultimately a military bunker that he is placing underground under the ballroom. That's really what he's concerned about. And it's happening at a time in which he's still embroidered in a court battle about whether or not he can move forward with his plans. The whole issue is not resolved in the courts yet. Because, as we all know, he went ahead and just tore down the East Wing without anybody being notified ahead of time, and then just started doing it. It makes me wonder what are his plans for that bunker? Why is this so important to him? Why is he using this apparent, supposed attempt on his life and the life of other people in his administration, and potentially anybody that was in that room last night as an excuse to push the bunker that he wants to build? That he's giving no big contracts for, as was reported last week, that he supposedly has gotten all these contributions, but we don't know if there's any quid pro quo associated with the contributions that he's received with regards to that quote unquote ballroom/slash bunker. I got questions, Trump. I got questions. Why do you need this bunker so bad? It seems odd. It seems suspicious. I find it suspicious. I love it. Norma here, she says, I'm 72, but I hang around a lot of young folks. So as they would say, stop playing in our faces. Stop playing in our faces. And in the vernacular of my generation, this is BS, period. I completely agree with you, Norma. It is extremely suspicious. It seems very much like BS to me. Okay. So then I also thought about, well, as this is going on, and we're talking about this attempt, wall-to-wall media coverage, you know how the media works. It works in the way of feeding frenzies. So if there's a big new breaking story, that's pretty much all they're going to talk about, at least for a few days straight. So I was just wondering, I thought it might be interesting to see what are the things that have come out in the news recently that he may be wanting to distract from. Let's take a trip down memory lane to find out what's been happening in the last day or two that he may be wanting to distract from. What do you think? Well, well, well. One story came out from NBC News, like right before, just within the last day or two, where they found and reported that the Pentagon has been lying about the amount of war damage that we have sustained as a nation. Oh, you think he might want to distract from that? He might want to distract from that. This report, in fact, found that Iran has hit dozens, dozens of targets in the Gulf region that include warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems, and dozens of aircraft. Dozens. The report says that these damages are from Iran's retaliatory attacks against U.S. military bases throughout several countries in that region. And it's far worse than has been publicly acknowledged and is expected to cost the billions of dollars to repair. How many of you have heard that story? Probably haven't heard about that story. And you're probably not gonna hear about that story because we're busy talking about this. I wonder what else they might want to distract from that's happened recently. Oh, maybe the fact that Trump got pumped when it came to the ceasefire talks that were supposed to happen over the course of the weekend. Yeah, I know he was very loud and proud that okay, he's not going to Pakistan, that they're just gonna talk over the phone, and it doesn't make sense to go and get on a plane for 15 hours. I know he had a lot to say, but did you know that they were going there until they found out that the Iran foreign minister had already left? He was like deuces, I'm out of here. So the foreign minister from Iran picked up and left because a couple of things that he had set as a precondition were not met. All over the news was all of this stuff about the U.S. has brokered this talks between Lebanon and Israel, and they've come to an agreement and there's going to be a ceasefire, which is one of the preconditions that Iran had from the very beginning about the ceasefire. Guess what? On Saturday, Netanyahu announced that they would resume attacks and they have resumed attacks. So that's probably one of the reasons why the Iran Foreign Minister left. It's like, wait a minute. Y'all have broken that. Another reason is Iran has also said that until the blockade of their ports are eliminated, they're not gonna open up the straits. And so the blockade has continued. And so they're like, well, why are we even talking? So it's not that Trump just decided he wasn't gonna go. No, it's that Iran decided, we ain't talking to your ass. And so who were they gonna talk to even if they went over there? All right. But we're not gonna talk about that because we are distracted talking about this supposed assassination attempt. In the meantime, we also know, as also, of course, the straits are still closed and the Epstein files are still not released. But I think one of the most interesting things that he probably doesn't want to talk about right now are his approval ratings. And it's not just that he has bad approval ratings, it's that he has historically bad approval ratings. The New York Times just shared a polling average of approval ratings. This just came out the day before this attempt and found that he had an average of, when I say an average, they looked at several polls, okay, and averaged all the polls. And they found that he had a polling average of only a 39% approval rating. That is the lowest approval rating that he has had since the approval rating that he had right after the January 6th attack. So it's historically low. It's the lowest that he's had since then. But even worse than that, you guys, has been approval ratings specifically related to his handling of the economy. For example, a Marquette University poll found that his approval rating among independents, only 28% approve of him. We know it's even lower among Democrats, but among independents, which is that critical swing vote, only 28% approve of his handling of the economy. And that's down from 39% when he took office. Let me also say there was another examination looking at an aggregate of polls and comparing this specific issue, approval ratings around the economy, with several different presidential administrations. And they found that where Trump is right now is the lowest approval rating for any president in recent history as it relates to the handling of the economy. Let me share a poll with you. So check this out. This is a graph that looks at the presidential approval rating of the U.S. economy. It's looking at an average of different polls around presidential handling of the economy. And as you can see right now, what they're showing you is how low beyond the 50% level each president is in terms of their lowest approval rating on this issue while they were in office. So let's see where Trump is compared to other presidents. You can see he is by far the worst. He is sitting at an abysmal approval rating at minus 32 points. His approval rating on the economy is minus 32 points. That is the worst that we've seen in history in terms of however long they've been taking these polls. All right. Now look at that compared to President Carter back in 1978. We know that Carter historically got mollywapped in the polls with regards to what happened to the price of gas under his administration. People really accredit him losing his reelection bid largely because of that. Obviously, he had the hostage crisis too. But that issue was horrible for him. And it ended up being the beginning of the end of his presidency. Even Carter was just minus 22%. So he's like a whole 10% better off than Trump is now. Compare this to Bush, 2008. Bush was worse than Carter, but still a whole lot better than where Trump is right now. And look at Biden. Biden was at negative 25%. Oh my goodness. Remember when he and Kamala were running running for office, and everybody was talking about how bad the economy was, how high the prices were. You remember all the conversation about oh God, the price of eggs, price of eggs, price of eggs, the price of eggs, Lord have mercy, the price of eggs. So I cannot bring myself to vote for Kamala Harris because of the price of eggs. Well, according to this, Biden's lowest when it came to the economy was negative 25 points. Seven points better than where Trump is right now. He is in a historic level of failure when it comes to approval ratings right now. And if you don't think this is a crisis, let me let you know this is a crisis. So, needless to say, you guys, this is a crisis. This is a crisis. Oh my God. Red alert. Midterms are coming up. We are polling at historic lows when it comes to the economy. Historically, an issue that Republicans would lead Democrats on, even when it makes no logical sense, because people keep falling for the lies about trickle-down economy that honestly never really trickles down. Okay. But at this moment, people are seeing the lie. And for one of the few times in history in a poll that just looks at people's opinions around not any specific candidate, but just party feelings, people are rating the Democrats higher on the economy than they're rating Republicans. And so the Republicans are heading towards this midterm election in full-fledged panic. That means that Trump, too, is in full-fledged panic because he knows that once he loses control of Congress, his power is going to be reined in. And in fact, they are so concerned right now, and rightfully so, because they understand that not only are they clearly going to be Mollywed in the House, they may also lose the Senate. So they're concerned about losing grip on both houses of Congress, which could lead to a historic set of challenges that Trump will face once the Democrats gain power. And as long as the economy looks like it does, as long as this polling looks like it does, specifically with regards to people's perceptions on the economy, they understand that not only is Trump's ass on the line right now, just in terms of him being able to push forth this wildly right-wing agenda that Project 2025 has laid out for him, but all of their asses are on the line in terms of elected officials that are in the House and the Senate right now who are branded by that GOP brand that people now are rightfully associating with economic failure, among other things. So if you're desperate to stop that from happening, what wouldn't you do to pull it back? What wouldn't you do? Well, here's what I would suggest you might want to do something that would cause people to think about something else. And so when I think about that, I think about this. Once again, showcasing yet another area in which JD Vance is a complete and utter failure, but that's a whole nother conversation. Well, did you know that around the time that happened, according to reports, there was a little something that Russia did to try to put their fingerprints on those results, uh to try to persuade or help their man Orban actually win the election because they wanted to be able to help him out. He was an ally of Russia. So what happened? So around this time that this election was happening, it was clear that Orban wasn't doing well. And so Russia, according to European Intelligence Services, Russia contacted Orban and suggested or proposed that he stage an assassination attempt. They suggested to Orban that he stage an assassination attempt to reverse his declining popularity ahead of the April twelfth election. Boom. Absolutely did. And to be specific, the alleged plan dubbed the game changer aimed to shift the campaign from economic grievances to security fears, underscoring Hungary's strategic value to Moscow. Boom. Let me say that again. That is worth repeating. According to European intelligence agencies, Russia put together a plan for Orban called the Game Changer. And the whole purpose of this plan was to shift his campaign from economic grievances. Because just like Trump, the people in Hungary were suffering economically. And he was rightfully being blamed for that. So he was in a point where he was politically disadvantaged as a result of that. So what Putin suggested was that they stage an assassination attempt to shift the attention of the public away from their economic grievances and instead to play up security fears to really be able to engender a sense that we need to be secure. So I find that very interesting. Don't you find that suspicious? See, here's what I want you to understand. It's not that false flag operations are nonsensical. It's not like this is something that is beyond imagination. This is something that nations plot to do. And guess what? He didn't do it. I guess to his credit, he didn't do it. And he lost. I don't want my people to lose. Here's one thing I will say. I don't believe that Trump is incapable of anything. I believe Trump is willing to do anything to hold on to power. I believe Trump is willing to do anything to get into power, a la what happened in Pennsylvania. And I also believe he is willing to do anything to hold on to power. Now, this would be nonsensical and irrelevant if Trump did not have a history of actually listening to Putin. But then again, we know that ain't true. That's a lie. He has a long history of listening to Putin. Let me just give you a few examples. Remember back in 2018 when they were in Helsinki and Trump stood right next to Putin and said, Hey, with regards to the 2016 election interference claims, I don't believe my own intelligence agencies. I believe Putin. Remember when he said that? Uh-huh. He did it. He believes Putin. He's influenced by Putin. He aligns himself with Putin. Even during this war, when all this evidence was presented that Putin was actually helping Iran, he's still gassing up Putin. I find that to be very interesting. Let's talk about something else in the more recent era, okay? Maybe not as recent in the war, but pretty recent. August 2025, Anchorage Summit. Remember back when he met with Putin in Alaska, and Trump was waiting at the end of the red carpet that they had laid out for Putin, acting like an excited little teenage girl that was about to have a meeting with her heartthrob crush. You remember that? Okay. Well, right after that, he apparently went on Fox News and said he wanted to tell Zelensky about the Ukraine war that is still going on to this day. Go ahead and make a deal. Make a deal that, in fact, ironically, aligned to what Putin wanted in the talks that they had just had in Alaska. Ain't that interesting? He seems to be very much influenced by Putin. Let's also talk about Putin's claim about the 2020 election. Trump shared with the world that Putin told him that he believed the 2020 election was rigged because of widespread mail-in voting, and Trump needed to change policies because that's why he lost the election. It was rigged because of the mail-in voting. Okay. Well, guess what? Trump has now gone and signed an executive order that severely restricts what? Mail-in voting. Oh, ain't that interesting? Okay. Sounds like, you know, Putin is influencing. That's a nice way of saying it. That sounds like he's Putin's puppet. Sounds like he's doing what Putin tells him to do. Sounds like he's acting like a Manchurian candidate. As Grady says here, it sounds like he's Putin's bitch boy. Yeah, that too. Absolutely. I could go on and on. I have a whole long list of examples here, but I will just say it is a long track record of Trump doing what Putin tells him to do. So let me ask you this question. What if? Because we also know that there is a there there are conversations that Trump has with Putin that are never fully divulged to the public. So I want to ask you, theoretically speaking, given what just happened to Orban, what if Putin is having some conversations with Trump where he is giving him the same advice that he had given to Orban? Hey, bruh, I see you're under some trouble there with your economy. I see that you're hurting in the polls. I see that it may, in fact, undermine your party's ability to maintain power, not only in the House but in the Senate. I see that's really going to put a real kink in your plans in terms of consolidating your power. I know you want to be like me. I know you want to be there 5, 10, 15, 20 years in the future. And you can't do all of that if you lose power in the midterm. So, bruh, why don't you just do what I told Orbon to do? See, he didn't follow my advice. You see what happened to him. Why don't you do what I told Orban to do? Can you imagine a scenario where that might be the case? I know I can. And here's the thing. I don't trust Trump to have the ethical boundaries to say no. Do you? I know I don't. So if you are thinking like me that something just doesn't sit right about this alleged assassination attempt that occurred at the White House Correspondence Center, if you are thinking that something just ain't adding up about what happened at the White House Correspondence Center and likely what even happened in Pennsylvania, if to you it just don't make sense, I want you to know that there's a lot of evidence here that would suggest you ain't crazy. There's a lot of evidence here that would suggest you have a reason to be skeptical. There's a lot of evidence here that would make you honestly logical to question the narrative that you are hearing in the mainstream spaces right now, there's a lot of evidence here that might get you to a point where you might start questioning things rather than taking things at face value. I want you to know that if we were in a space where we were talking about someone who acted ethically as the normal course of events, we were talking about someone who we knew was generously a forthright person, even though we may not align politically. If we were talking about someone who typically told us the truth, even if they were hard truths, then thinking in this way might be unreasonable, but we're talking about someone here who is the diametrical opposite of everything that I just said. We are talking about someone who lies so often that the fact-check people just gave up on fact-checking him. We're talking about someone who has between himself and his friends made a conscientious effort to consolidate the media under their ownership so that they can all be singing off the same song sheet. We are talking about someone who wants to stay in power by any means necessary. And if we know then that's who we're talking about, then we need to start thinking critically as a normal course of events. We need to stop just consuming the narrative and assuming that the narrative that we are being sold is the only narrative that is the possible truth. Now, you may hear everything that I've told you today and say, Well, I do think everything is on the up and up, and that is your right. And it's not really even my desire to try to convince you to think otherwise, but what I do want you to do is to think. What I do want you to do is to take into consideration all of the evidence. What I do want you to do is to use your critical thinking skills. What I do want you to do is to take into consideration who the hell we're talking about. What I do want you to do is ask questions. What I do want you to do is wonder why is that ballroom so damn important to him? What I do want you to do is to think, well, what does he plan to do with that bunker when it's time for him to leave office? What I do want you to do is to ask these hard questions and to know that you deserve answers. And if something isn't sitting right, I just want you to know you are not crazy. You are a sentient thinking person. You are not one of these cult members that believe any and everything that comes out of that liar's mouth. You are not someone that is worshiping this man as a deity instead of seeing him as the devil that he actually is. And that is a good thing. That means you are woke in every sense of the word, even though it's a word that others have now tried to appropriate and completely twist and turn into their little racist dog whistle. It means that you are alert. It means that you are understanding not only what you see, you are looking deeper into all of the interconnectedness of the context of what's happening and taking all of that information into consideration when making a decision about what's really happening in this world. And especially in times like this, that's exactly what we need. So as I leave you today, I want to say, literally, stay woke. As I leave you today, I want to say, don't just believe everything you hear from anybody, not even me. But I do want you to think about the facts and come to your own conclusion. And if that conclusion leads you to something that is uncomfortable, if that conclusion leads you to something that is counter than what everybody else is saying, it does not mean your thoughts are illegitimate. It could very well mean that you are one of the few that can actually see past the lies and know the truth. Stay alert because the game that they're playing right now, it's for keeps. This is a very dangerous time to just accept the narrative. This is the time where you need to think for yourself and act accordingly. I'll see you next time on Fearless Politics.
