So what do I hate more than anything in the business? Unnecessary teases. Stay tuned for the end of the show, and I'll tell you what I could have told you right now, just so I can trick you into listening. I'm not doing that, I'm not doing it ever. We're not doing that on the show, because if you wanna listen, I would like you to listen because you enjoy the content, because I need to trick you to listen. I just hate that. I get it, I'm headed anybody, whatevs.

But this has to be the most insane political ad I think I've ever seen, and believe me, that's saying a lot. I've seen some really terrible political ads, but it goes back to this axiomatic truth of politics I've told you about for a long time, and I'm gonna show you how it relates to things that are going on around the demoralization op around the Trump administration, too. That the most destructive political narratives, things that hurt political candidates, and companies, too, for that matter, but let's keep it in terms of politics. The most destructive ads, narratives, stories you want to tell that do damage to people are ones that change your preexisting notion of who someone is.

You'll see it in the demoralization op against President Trump. Nothing's happening from a guy who's run on, like, we're gonna make things happen, right? And then when things happen, they move on to the next thing. They're doing this on purpose.

But can you imagine a political ad? And therefore, we're not gonna, I hate to say unnecessary tease, for a candidate for governor in a huge, important state like Ohio, where the candidate's mom, mom comes out and is like, dah, don't vote for my daughter. She's really not good. Wait, what?

Folks, my friend, Brian up in Maryland ran for state delegate and won. He lost and then won twice and he's a very popular guy up there. Some of our neighbors where I lived in Maryland, a lot of them were like diehard liberals. He's a Republican. They voted for him. They voted for him because they trusted he was a good guy. Can you imagine recommending to people not to vote for your own daughter? Amy Acton, this is the craziest thing I have ever seen.

I got that. I got some really, and by the way, we got a great guest coming up. Do you know what SEL is? Social Emotional Learning. If you don't, it is being used to indoctrinate your kids to be Marxist lunatics in school. There it is.

I've got an amazing guest coming up to tell you what's happening in your kid's school and how you can fight back. I get so many emails on this SEL scam, this cancer.

I got about 15 minutes at the end of the show today with Sam Sorbo to tell you exactly what's going on. So big show today. Stay tuned.

Everybody's refrigerator goes down, supermarkets are out, and you have no food. It's an easy way to get dead, and you don't want to get dead. You've seen when emergencies happen. Furnace stops, roads become dangerous, it gets cold, you have a storm, stores get picked over, and once the storm's on top of you, your options shrink fast. My Patriot Supply told me they saw this firsthand last year. When major storms threatened their Vesta, indoor heater and stove became one of the hottest preparedness items of the season. It sold out again and again as people rushed to prepare at the last minute. That's exactly why My Patriot Supply created the winter prep bundle to help you get ahead of the storms this time. It includes 114 servings of emergency food with real meals you can count on, the Vesta heater and stove, it's safe to use indoors, backup power with solar charging, emergency lighting, and thermal blankets. In other words, food, heat, power, and light already in your home before you need them. And when you go to preparewithdan.com, you can save almost $300 on the complete bundle. Don't wait until the forecast ends, everyone's scrambling again, go to preparewithdan.com, get your winter prep bundle bundle bundle bundle today while it's still available. preparewithdan.com. Thank you, My Patriot Supply. We got a big show, so let's get going. Let's ring that bell.
