Jerry Seinfeld, who recently turned 70.
Can you believe that?
That Seinfeld is 70?
It doesn't seem possible.
It just seems impossible.
But he's looking great for 70.
And he's another one of those people I would Put it forward as a good example of exercise and diet.
I mean, look at Seinfeld at 70, and then ask yourself, does eating right and exercising work?
Apparently, yes.
Apparently it does.
And how about his mind?
Is his mind still sharp for 70?
Yes, it is.
It doesn't look any different to me.
And it's because he's been Using his mind consistently every day, doing hard level, you know, difficult things.
And he's a good example of doing everything right.
Well, Kristi Noem, you know, as you know, she wrote in her book that she had to kill the family dog.
She shot the family dog because it was a bad dog.
And the conversation is, well, does that take her out of the running for vice president?
Well, I have a contrarian view about that.
If you're Trump and the person you're running against has literally been nicknamed Old Yeller, that would be Biden, because he's old and he yells.
And there's an old movie called Old Yeller about a family that killed their dog.
Well, Kristi Noem is the only person who has experience killing Old Yeller.
You're welcome.
This is why you, this is why you listen to me.
It's for my Old Yeller dad jokes.
Yep.
Christy Noem, she's the only one who's already killed Old Yeller.
I call that relevant experience.
All right, the other thing that Seinfeld said is that comedy is dead.
Humor is dead, because now it has to go through a committee and the extreme left has ruined it.
Huh.
Seinfeld.
You would think he would be identified with Democrats, and yet here he is criticizing his own team.
For having destroyed humor.
Humor!
I mean, just try to hold that in your head.
Let me just say it once in a clean way, and now hold this in your head.
According to, oh, I would say the most successful Democrat humorist of the age, according to him, Democrats killed humor.
And I think they did.
How do you destroy humor?
That wasn't even on my list of things that could be destroyed.
If you'd said to me 20 years ago, make a list of all the things you care about that could be taken from you and destroyed, would I have put humor on my list of 20 things that they might be able to take away from me if they tried?
No.
I never would have guessed that jokes could go away.
Never in my life would I have guessed that.
Well, in related news, 2023's box office has been a gigantic disaster and movies are so dead that all the people working in the industry are desperately trying to find work and not.
See, I wonder why movies are dead.
Could it be that they only make the same movie over and over again?
Could it be?
Could it be that movies can't be funny anymore?
Because humor is dead?
Yes, it could.
And if you take humor out of the movies, what's left?
Well, there's a scene where you tie somebody to a chair to torture them.
There's the beginning scene called Act One, where your family members and or your best friends are all slaughtered.
Everybody likes to watch that.
And then there's innumerable scenes where the hero will beat up more than one person at a time.
More than one at a time.
I've never seen that in a movie, have you?
Then there might be a car chase scene, possibly with a helicopter involved.
Yeah, a helicopter!
Nobody ever saw that coming.
Very creative.
And then, depending on the movie, if it's sci-fi, one of the people might have to cross a desert on their own.
Might be some kind of a test to see if they're the chosen one.
Can they cross the desert on their own?
Well, maybe they should make a new movie.
Just one that doesn't have any of that in it.
Just make a movie with none of that.
And how about no cringey gay love scenes or straight love scenes?
How about no cringey love scenes at all?
Just get rid of them.
Do you know what you never see on social media when you're looking at reels?
And you're, like, totally engaged.
And unlike movies, you're, like, spellbound.
You're watching the reels, and you're just doing one at a time.
They're 10 seconds.
You know what is never on a reel?
Somebody tied to a chair and tortured.
They have time.
I mean, the reel is not so short that they can't do it, but they just don't do it.
Do you know what else is not in a reel typically?
A couple.
Either gay or straight or non-binary.
Having cringy relationships.
Mmm.
I sure love you.
I love you all over the place.
And you just want to go, relax, get your cringy love affair out of here.
How about car chases?
You don't see a lot of car chases in the Reels.
Reels basically said, why don't we just put stuff people like in here?
Movie said, let's put stuff in here that they've seen a million times so they'll know it's a movie.
It shouldn't be a big surprise.
I'm surprised movies last as long as they did.
Really.
Anyway, um, I tried to watch Dune 2.
Took me five tries.
Has anybody tried to watch Dune 2?
Five tries.
Every time I'd watch it, I'd be like, Why am I spending time on this?
Guy in desert?
They don't have much water?
What else?
There's just not a lot happening.
Anyway, movies are dead.
There's a report, Al Jazeera, I think, is reporting that the Gateway Pundit declared bankruptcy in part, or maybe mostly, because of a bunch of string of defamation lawsuits.
So that doesn't mean they're out of business, it just means they're in Chapter 11 protection to give them some court relief from the claims.
So that's not good.
I'm surprised that there aren't more defamation lawsuits in the media in general.
I don't know how anybody could be in that business, actually.
California has a new initiative That will be on the ballot, I guess, in November.
And the initiative is to make it illegal to do crimes in California.
Wow.
That'd be new.
I don't know if you know, but it's been completely legal to do crimes in California.
I'm exaggerating a little bit.
But the under $900, if you stole it, the police wouldn't care.
That sort of thing.
Well, it looks like there's going to be some movement to change that.
So they only needed half a million signatures to get this thing on the ballot.
Basically, it would recriminalize a bunch of stuff that had been decriminalized.
And they needed half a million signatures.
They got 900,000.
And the biggest problem is that people were lined up for hours to sign it.
Hold that in your head.
It's a ballot initiative for California.
Now, I live in California.
And I've seen tons of people trying to sign people up for ballot initiatives over the years.
What's the longest line you've ever seen for somebody to sign a ballot initiative or some kind of an election-related thing?
What's the longest line you've ever seen?
Three people?
Maybe a maximum of three?
They're lucky if they can get one.
They're usually working one person at a time.
This had people waiting in line four hours.
Four hours people waited in line to sign this damn thing.
Do you think the Californians are ready for a change?
Now hold in your mind that Californians were willing to wait four hours to sign something to say, can you make crime illegal again?
Remember that when I talk to you about the bench that the Democrats have?
That the governor of California is their strongest player who's not Biden.
And in his state, people lined up for hours just to try to vote some safety into their situation.
He's their best bench player.
Well, sure enough, the mystery of how is it that Trump could be leading in every category except that He's not leading at the top line as much as you should in some polls.
Some are saying he's leading by a lot.
We'll talk about that.
But it's women.
So, 58% of women now back Biden, and 36% back Trump.
Now, I think that mostly means single women, right?
It's married women.
They didn't break it down, but I think married women are still slightly pro-Trump, I believe.
So they don't say single, but that really is the biggest part.
Because if they said single, they would also be indicating its mental illness to back Biden.
And I would say at this point, you know, I think there was a point where a reasonable, smart, mentally healthy person could look at the two choices and say, you know what?
I'd like to try Biden for a while.
You know, maybe I get a little unhealth care that I want, you know, maybe some things that I want.
I think there was a time when it made sense.
Not that I would have chosen it, but that a reasonable person with a healthy brain could say, you know, Trump is kind of divisive, let's try something else.
But not now.
People, not now.
You've actually watched Biden in office.
You've seen what he can do.
And the one thing you could be sure of, If he's reelected, he will do even worse.
He didn't get any better.
He didn't get smarter over four years.
He's just degrading.
There's nothing left.
Now, if 58% of women are still backing Biden, and you know that really means single women for the biggest part of that, and you know that single liberal women are literally the biggest healthcare concern in the country.
I'm not making that up.
It's really a shocking number of them have mental illness.
So Biden is literally being backed by the mental, the least mentally capable people in our Republic.
They're the least capable emotionally, mentally.
And that's, I'm not making that up.
That's just a fact.
And apparently that gap is even growing.
So there's even, you know, women are moving toward him even faster.
The single ones.
Um, let's see.
So the gender divide is widening a bit.
How many of you, how many of you believe me back in maybe, when did I start saying it?
Maybe 2016 or 17.
I started to tell you that it was obvious that the Republicans were becoming the party of men and the women who like those men.
And that the Democrats were becoming the party of women.
And sure enough, here we are.
John Fetterman continues to entertain me.
I don't agree with everything that John Fetterman likes as policy, but I do like his vibe lately.
And, and I, you know, I feel some, honestly, I feel better that I'm not mocking him every day for his, his health problems.
I was one of the people who didn't think he was going to come back.
I really didn't think that was recoverable.
It didn't look like it, but I learned something.
So the first thing I learned is apparently that kind of condition is recoverable.
Which is really, really good to know.
That's one of the best things he's ever done for the country.
Really.
I mean, he showed that you can come back from that.
That was a really good lesson because there must be tons of people who are in that situation and they're looking at him and saying, Whoa, you can actually come back from this.
Um, Well, I saw him with his wife the other day, so somebody said his wife left him, but they were just together at that White House Correspondents' Dinner.
So that's all I know about that.
Anyway, he said about the Hamas demonstrations, he said, I don't believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful.
I don't believe that living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful.
Now that's a...
That's a good way to sum up that situation.
Living in a pup tent for Hamas.
It's not really helping.
Now, I would like to say something that just has to be said, that I don't know why we don't say it more.
How many of you were ever college age?
You weren't necessarily in college, but how many of you were ever, you know, 18 to 21?
A lot of you, right?
Most of you are now older than 18 to 21.
So most of you know what that experience is like.
I'm just speaking for myself, but I was an idiot when I was 18 to 21.
You certainly wouldn't want me to make your big geopolitical decisions for you.
In fact, there are quite a few opinions I held back then that I think are ridiculous now.
And not only that, but it wasn't just me.
I met my fellow students.
No better.
No, there were no brilliant and wise people I went to college with.
They were all idiots, just like me.
I was an idiot.
Compared to, you know, what you become as you learn how the world works.
Now, that's not an insult, but the fact that we're calling them our students, oh, our Ivy League students are protesting, we'd better pay attention, because the Ivy League students are protesting.
No, the stupidest among us, the young, I'm sorry, but they're the stupidest.
And even the young will admit that someday.
I'm not even disagreeing with them.
Someday they will be on my team and they'll say, yeah, you know, I was kind of an idiot when I was that age.
Why are we not reporting it like that?
When did we, like, it's the most basic fact about the protest is that it's mostly idiots.
So you have the mentally unhealthy, the young women, and then the young men who are idiots.
And then other people who are, you know, paid organizers and stuff.
So these are not real protests like some part of the country disagrees with the other part.
No.
This is what happens when you put money, stupidity, and poor mental health all in one place.
They live in tents.
Yeah.
And you know what?
If you were to release them to the wild, the same people protesting and living in tents, you said, Hey, I've got an idea.
If you don't like the way things are, we'll take all of the protesters and you can build your own civilization.
We'll give you land, freedom, you know, no attacks.
There'll be no predators.
You can just go build your own ideal situation and we'll check on you in 20 years.
See how you're doing.
Take all those protesters, put them in one place, check on them in 20 years.
Still in fucking tents.
That's what I'm saying.
Come back in 20 years, they'll still be in those fucking tents.
Because these are not the winners.
These are the idiots, and the people with poor mental health.
Now someday, many of those idiots will be smart, wise, Productive citizens.
But not yet!
Not yet!
Don't treat them like their opinions matter.
They shouldn't matter.
They should not matter at all.
Now, if those protesters were also, let's say, very much the same opinion as the public, very useful.
For example, the Vietnam protesters, although they were young, I didn't say the same thing about them.
You know why?
Because they represented lots of older people who had exactly the same opinion that we should get out of Vietnam.
So to the extent that the young people are representing a larger body of people, but they're just have more free time and they're braver or whatever, can't get fired.
Then yeah, that's great.
Young people.
Yeah.
Young people go protest.
But when the young people are the only ones who have this opinion, Along with the mentally unhealthy people and the people who believe fake news, we shouldn't be paying attention to them like it's some kind of difference of opinion.
It's not really a difference of opinion.
It's the fucking idiots and the mentally incapable people plus money.
And then you get that.
That's what that is.
Anyway, there's a report that DeSantis and Trump met to try to get along and that maybe they'll Bury the hatchet, as they say, and maybe DeSantis will do some fundraising for Trump.
Well, I think that makes sense, don't you?
It makes sense to me that they would get along.
Eventually, I guess.
You know, when Trump was calling DeSantis de-sanctimonious, that was such a light touch That you knew that later they wanted to have the option of, you know, working together.
It was such a light touch.
So yeah, that should be fine.
Fox News did a whole segment just on Biden's fake resume things, the things he says he's done, and they had to do a whole segment on it.
There were so many.
And that's only the non-political lies.
This was only the lies about his own personal background.
Now, keep in mind that the main thing that Biden offered Was honesty.
That's the main thing you offered.
Right?
I can't have any of this lying anymore.
And what they had to do was fire the fact checkers because Biden lied so much that their entire, you know, brainwashing and gaslighting they gave you about Trump's lying didn't make so much sense anymore.
The CNN and SRS poll, 55% said they see Trump's presidency as a success compared to only 39% for Biden.
Think about the difference between those numbers.
55%, nice solid majority, said that Trump's presidency was a success, and only 39% say that about Biden.
How in the world do you win an election?
With those numbers.
If that were the only number you knew about, it's a landslide, right?
That number alone, with no other number, you wouldn't have to hear any other number, you wouldn't have to know where the polls were, you would just have to know that one thing.
55% compared to 39%.
That's not close.
That's not the margin of error.
That's a blowout.
But what about the polls?
Still tie.
Still about a tie, depending on which fake polling you want to look at.
All right, CBS says, most swing state voters say their finances have gotten worse under Biden and agree they'll be financially better off if President Trump wins.
So if Trump wins, 47% of the people in swing states, the important ones, say they'll be better off.
If Biden wins, only 21% think they'll be better off.
That's more than double for Trump.
Again, that's not a margin of error rounding problem.
That's a blowout number.
These two numbers should, if everything were normal and the elections were real, it should be the biggest electoral college win of any president, maybe including Reagan.
He might actually be Reagan's best numbers with these.
But will that happen?
We're in strange times, so maybe not.
Literally anything could happen.
But these numbers are just a flashing, bright, landslide numbers.
And nothing's going to change.
They're not going to replace Biden.
I don't think they'll replace him.
It's too late.
Here's Trump on fracking in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania being a key swing state.
Winning it would be critical to Biden.
He couldn't, I don't think Biden could win it all without winning Pennsylvania.
But 49% of voters in Pennsylvania say Trump would do a better job on fracking, oil and gas.
And only 33% say Biden would do a better job.
Now, given that fracking is a pretty big deal in Pennsylvania, 49% to 33?
49% to 33?
That's blowout numbers.
Again, we're not talking about the margin of error in the polling.
There's no comparison between what people think of these two candidates.
And I've got a new Trump slogan.
I did not come up with this.
This is from a user on X called Pismo B.
You ready?
I want you, if you haven't heard this yet, maybe some of you saw it on X, if you haven't heard it yet, I want you to hear this slogan for the first time.
So this is a proposed Trump slogan.
I want you to see how it feels.
All right.
So turn off your intellectual buttons and just see how this feels.
Here's the slogan.
Trump creates, Biden destroys.
Trump creates.
Biden destroys.
Do you feel it?
Just feel it.
You can feel that one, can't you?
Am I right?
But when I heard that, I was like, oh my god, somehow that seems to have captured everything.
Because what is Trump talking about?
Trump is talking about building brand new cities with flying cars.
Creating, right?
Creating.
Trump is talking about, he created the Abraham Accords.
He created peace and a big economic potential there.
That's creation.
If you look at what Biden's done, he's destroyed the border.
Destroyed the economy, inflation, destroyed Ukraine, is destroying the Middle East, if you believe that it wouldn't have happened under Trump.
That argument hits me exactly in my heart.
Like, intellectually, I know what the argument would be that Trump creates and Biden destroys, but I feel it.
Like, you just feel that one.
It goes right through you.
And I think there's something so fundamental about the difference between creation and destruction, that they sort of are a yin and yang situation, where Biden has to become the opposite of Trump in order to have a reason to exist, but he couldn't do it.
So he tried to be opposite of Trump on telling the truth, but he became the biggest liar in political history.
Probably the most famous liar in history, who isn't Trump, I guess.
So that's what's happening.
All right.
Trump creates, Biden destroys.
Charles Payne of Fox Business.
He had a good, insightful comment here about CNN.
He said, CNN has to make up an issue because Biden is behind on everything else.
So if you did normal issue polling and you said, what do you think about the economy?
Trump wins easily.
What do you think about the border?
Trump wins.
What do you think about Ukraine?
Trump wins.
Middle East?
Trump wins.
So everything that you would imagine would be important, Trump wins.
So what did CNN do?
Well, Charles Payne is calling them out accurately for making up an issue out of words.
They're making up an issue out of words.
Does that make sense?
If I tell you that the economy is doing poorly, you say, oh, I know what an economy is, and I know what doing poorly is.
Got it.
If I tell you that Biden's going to start a war, you go, war?
Got it.
I know what a war is.
Stopping war?
Good.
Got it.
That's easy.
Here's what Don in Brazil said.
Quote, the Supreme Court is close to election interference.
Justice delayed is democracy denied.
So the issue that CNN is trying to make an issue is that Trump would end democracy.
That's just words.
End democracy.
In what way?
Is it the Biden who's jailing his opponent?
And trying to get the other opponent assassinated without having any Secret Service protection?
Is it, is it, is Biden protecting democracy by putting all the protesters for January 6th in jail?
How, how exactly is he protecting democracy?
It's literally word thinking.
The Democrats apparently are completely aware that they don't have any issues they can run on.
They don't have honesty.
That's gone.
They don't have capability.
They don't have age.
They can't run on the record because Trump's record as president, you don't have to wonder, is better than Biden's as president.
I've never seen this situation before in my life, right?
In my life, has there ever been two ex-presidents or current and an ex running against each other?
Not in my life, right?
And so they literally are trying to stretch words together to make it a word.
Well, you know, we've got the election interference because the democracy denied thanks to the justice, which is delayed.
In the system in which democracy is important, can't have an insurrection, it's literally just a bunch of words.
And the public is like, what?
But thankfully, the Democrats do have some senior wise people.
I mock the Democrats for not having a good bench, but at least, at least they have James Carville.
So James Carville to the rescue, a respected Democrat strategist, and he says—he's trying to get the young people on board—he says, if Trump wins, there will be no government left.
There will be no rights left.
You will live under theocracy.
You'll end up with Christian nationalism.
But that's all right, you little fucking 26-year-old.
you don't feel like the elections are important.
So that's their adult leadership weighing in.
Yeah, do you remember when he was about, it's the economy, stupid?
It's the economy, stupid.
Let me see if I understand this.
It's the economy, stupid.
The economy.
Okay, I know what the economy is.
And he's telling us that we should focus on the economy.
Got it.
Got it.
The economy is a real thing and you should focus on it.
Got it.
Now let's check up on him, his new philosophy years.
There will be no government left.
What?
There'll be no rights left to you.
Wait, which rights are Trump taking away?
Was there a news cycle I missed where some rights got taken away?
I don't recall that at all.
And you'll live under a theocracy.
Really?
Wasn't it just a few years ago they were saying that Trump was probably a secret atheist pretending to be a religious?
And that's changed completely to he's going to put you under a theocracy?
Based on what exactly?
I guess it's all abortion.
And then Christian nationalism.
The last time anybody was worried about Christian nationalism I think Newt Gingrich was in power.
Do you remember when that was a thing?
There's not a ton of Christian nationalism sweeping over the country.
What exactly is he even looking at?
How far he's fallen from, let's bring in the young people to vote, and the economy is very important, all the way to Well, there'll be no government left.
They'll take your rights.
Oh, you live under a theocracy.
You'll end up with Christian nationalism and all the 26-year-olds are fucking idiots.
So that's their best guy.
That's their best guy right there on strategy.
Alan Dershowitz continues to say that the Manhattan trial of Trump, the one about the Stormy Daniels payments, he says there's no crime.
Hold this in your mind.
Alan Dershowitz, who only votes Democrat, but he is famous for calling the facts as he sees them.
Famous Democrat Alan Dershowitz, famous lawyer Alan Dershowitz, looks at this situation in detail and says, there's not even a crime that's being charged.
They're literally trying to make up something as they go.
And he points out that the reason that David Pecker is on the stand talking about catch and kill is because they don't have a crime to talk about.
So they're actually putting witnesses to talk about unrelated things because otherwise they wouldn't have anybody to talk about anything.
So they've got to get somebody to talk about something that you don't like, even though it's not really relevant to the case, so that you'll have a general unpleasant feeling about Trump, because that's the best they can do.
Because there's no crime.
There's no crime.
What could be better than having Alan Dershowitz said, tell the world, yes, as a famous Democrat and the most famous lawyer you know, I'm telling you that this is lawfare and there's no crime and they're just going after Trump in the United States.
While Biden is telling you that he's trying to protect democracy.
Well, yep.
You protect the democracy by trying to put your opponent in jail for something that's not a crime, according to a famous Democrat who is a famous lawyer.
Online the other day, I got into a debate with a troll, and I don't know if you've noticed, but the trolls are either worse or they're, you know, I don't know, they're just really bad at it lately.
And the troll said that there was in fact Russia collusion because Michael Cohen said so.
And I said, did you really use as your source One of the world's most famous liars?
Like if you said, let's make a list of the biggest liars in the news.
Michael Cohen would be right at the top.
And that was the best argument against Trump, is that Michael Cohen said something once.
That's what they have.
They got Michael Cohen.
I mentioned this before, but it's such a head shaker.
Apparently there is information now from some unclassified documents that got unredacted, and Julie Kelly's all over this, that the GSA, the group in the government that's in control of these classified documents, apparently at one point they had control of classified documents that they were trying to get Trump to take possession of.
You never heard that story, did you?
How did we get this far into that whole Mar-a-Lago box story?
And only now we're finding out that instead of Trump holding onto boxes and preventing them from going to the GSA, the GSA had boxes and were trying to force Trump to take them.
Now, how long did it take us to find that out?
Now, was it a setup?
Was it a setup?
Because here's what we know for sure.
There's no way Trump knew what was in those boxes.
Just hold that in your mind.
No matter what was in the boxes, and no matter whether it was a setup or not a setup, there is no way that Trump would have known what was in the boxes that the GSA had in their possession.
Do you agree?
There is no way he would have known what was in the boxes.
He would have imagined it's, you know, part of what we packed up, But he wouldn't even know what was packed up.
Do you think he stood in front of every box and said, all right, let's see that folder.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
That folder goes in the box.
Show me another folder.
Okay.
Yeah.
Put that in the box.
Do you think it went that way?
No.
There may have been a dozen things that Trump said, make sure these are in the box.
But he certainly didn't know what 90% of it was that was going into the boxes.
There's no way he knew.
I mean, it's just not, it's just not believable that he stood over that process and watched them load boxes, right?
And now that you know that there's these mystery boxes that got shipped in, are you going to know for sure that if anything was found, and by the way, I don't think there was, if anything was found in those boxes, it was really a problem.
Are you going to know for sure that they were the GSA's boxes that they foisted on the President, or the ones that he packed himself with foreknowledge that he was stealing some secrets?
Yeah, everything about that is as sketchy as you think.
Bill Ackman, who we think was a Democrat but apparently did not vote for Biden, voted, I think he voted for Trump in the last election.
He said the biggest mistake Democrats have made is supporting President Biden for a second term.
He says that by supporting Biden, they have given him false confidence that he can win the race.
As a result, he did not step aside.
Blah, blah, blah.
And now it looks like he's going to lose by a lot.
OK.
Here's what I think.
I don't think it's as simple as Biden got false confidence, although he probably did.
Who else were they going to run?
They would have replaced him, I think, if they had a better candidate.
Remember my conversation about Californians lining up for hours to vote that crime should be illegal again in California?
And that's their best guy, the governor of California.
With a massive deficit he just ran up, problems with electricity, closed down our nuclear power plants, Open border, crime everywhere, poop on the sidewalks.
That's their best guy.
No, I think that Biden is running because they don't have a better choice.
At one point I thought, well, obviously they have better choices.
You know, there's just something, some kind of sticking point here.
But where are they?
The vice president is barely functional.
And the other people we talked about like Pete Buttigieg.
Pete Buttigieg is often talked about as like one of their stars.
Seriously?
There's no way Pete Buttigieg is going to beat Trump in an election.
And there's no way that Newsom could beat Trump.
I think that Trump is the Newsom killer, the Buttigieg killer.
The only hope they had Was that Biden could, you know, keep everybody on one team, basically.
And that was their only hope.
So I disagree with Ackman.
I think that it wasn't a mistake to keep Biden.
I think they didn't have a choice.
I think they looked really hard for their options and didn't find one, honestly.
If Bill Ackman had run for office, he would actually look like a pretty strong choice.
He'd never get elected, but...
And the talent that the Democrats do have, because they do have talent, but they're all over 70, right?
Schumer has talent.
Nancy Pelosi has talent, but they're too old.
Bloomberg is saying that Apple is maybe thinking about putting open AI on their phones, which would be a major thing.
But there's also reports they're working on their own AI for phones that will run locally.
So I think maybe what Apple is doing is just looking at all their options all the time.
So I think it's too early to say what they're going to do.
But the fact that Apple doesn't have a major AI play already really tells you the Steve Job era mattered.
Just the fact we're even having the conversation about Apple trying to catch up on AI.
We shouldn't be having that conversation.
They should be leading that back.
Anyway.
Mario Nafal is Talking about there might be a $10 trillion market valuation in just AI stuff.
If you count Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, they're all ramping up.
Musk is saying that Tesla is going to put another $10 billion this year into AI development.
And NVIDIA's GPU sales are projected to reach $40 billion in 2024, which would surpass both AMD and Intel.
Did you know that NVIDIA is bigger than Intel?
When did that happen?
What?
Here's what I think is going to happen.
I think the Democrats are going to introduce an AI tax.
Maybe a robot tax, because it's going to be the same thing.
Here's why.
Do you know what Democrats tax?
They tax anything that's big and unavoidable and you have to use.
You have to make an income, so they tax it.
You have to pay people, so they tax it.
If you have any investments, that's like a lot of money, so they'll tax it.
If you have a house, they're going to tax it.
So everything big, they tax.
And the bigger it is, the easier it is to tax.
Because if it's a 10 trillion dollar market and you say, we just want 5%, just 5%, you get a ton of money.
So given that the entire economy is going to move toward AI and information and robots and away from labor and all those other things, I think the only thing that they're going to have to tax will be robots and AI.
if they do it soon, you won't know it.
Here's why.
How much does a robot cost?
I don't know.
But if you said a robot cost me, I don't know, $5,000, Let's say when the price comes down.
But then you taxed it 20%.
I'd be like, whoa, whoa.
I don't want to pay another $1,000 on my $5,000 robot.
That's too much.
That's too much.
I vote you out of office.
But suppose I never knew what a robot cost in the first place.
And the first time I ever saw one, it was $10,000.
was $10,000. I might even say, all right, I wish it were five, but I still want that robot, so I buy it anyway.
Because it saves me money in the long run.
It would, actually.
Save me money in the long run.
And then I don't know that it was taxed 100%.
Because I don't know what a robot costs.
Same with AI.
You know, I've got this sense that an app should be 20 bucks and that's what, you know, that's what they are.
But what happens when apps go away and AI is just built into your phone?
Then does Apple say, you know, your phone used to be a thousand dollars, but now it's AI.
It's a whole different deal now.
So now it's a, it's a $2,000 phone.
But what if it's all taxes?
You wouldn't even know the difference.
You'd just be like, Oh, I guess AI phones cost $2,000.
So the future looks like massive taxes on AI, only because it's the only thing that will be taxable that's also really big, and they can get away with it.
So it's all about getting away with it, basically.
It'll get taxed like crazy.
Self-driving trucks are coming.
I think that's inevitable, because the self-driving trucks can drive all night and all day.
So they'd be, in theory, they would be, well, three times more efficient, right?
Because a human is going to do eight hours a day, but there's three eight hours in the 24 hours.
So the robot should be way cheaper to transport things.
So you're worried about inflation, are you?
What happens if the transportation cost goes down by two thirds?
Could totally happen.
Because a robot isn't going to cost much more than a human, right?
Well, let's say that the robot part of the truck might cost... I'll just throw out a number.
Let's say making your truck fully robotic might cost you an extra $5,000 per truck on a very expensive truck.
Whereas an employee who would be the driver would be, I don't know, $100,000 a year with benefits or whatever it is.
So you're definitely going to replace the driver because of the economics.
And then you're going to triple the amount you can ship in the same amount of time.
And you might even bring down the cost if electricity is cheaper than gas.
So, there are definitely some things that could be happening that could be lowering your perceived inflation.
RFK Jr.
is talking about our rigged system.
Here are some of the things he said.
He said, the Fed is a criminal agency, and it's just a vacuum cleaner for Wall Street to shift wealth upward to a kleptocracy.
They're all captured, he says.
The CIA is captured by the military-industrial complex.
Its function is just to give us a pipeline of new wars.
Fair.
The Fed is captured by Wall Street to consolidate all the banks so they're all too big to fail.
I don't know about that.
It's all designed to shift wealth upwards.
We've financialized our economy and destroyed our industrial base and we need to reverse these policies.
He has a lot of hope.
He thinks that Trump and Biden both failed to fix anything in the swamp.
And if you elect either Biden or Trump, you get more polarization, more debt, and more chronic disease.
Agreed.
Agreed.
That's just a fact.
If you elect either Biden or Trump, you get more polarization, more debt, and more chronic disease.
I guarantee that's true.
Guarantee it's true.
Sorry.
You know, I do think Trump is a better choice than Biden, but he's going to run up the debt.
And he's not going to fix food.
I mean, Trump's not going to fix the food supply.
It doesn't have any interest at all.
So yes, if what you want is to fix that situation, less polarization and more... I don't see... How is RFK Jr.
going to not run up the debt?
That's not an option, is it?
Because he's more socialist than both the other parties, or both the other candidates.
Yeah, so anyway, that's his pitch.
It's a strong pitch.
Speaking of Ukraine and theft, so Zelensky and Biden are working on a plan that'll be a 10-year plan for funding Ukraine, but somehow they're going to make it so the next president can't turn it off.
I don't know how you do that.
To me, that doesn't feel like it could be a thing, that the next president can't turn off the funding.
How in the world do you do that?
I think you do it anyway.
I think if they pass something that prevents the president from stopping the funding, I think the president would fire everybody who writes the checks.
Oh, there you go.
That's how you do it.
It wouldn't matter what the law is.
Trump could fire everybody who signs a check.
And then he just couldn't put it out.
He could tell him to close the printing machines or whatever the hell it is.
Yeah.
I think he, I don't think there's any such thing as a debt which cannot be canceled by the next president.
Mandated spending.
I don't believe it.
There's a clip going around from sometime a long time ago where George Soros is interviewed and he admitted to having what he called a God complex.
And that it was worse when he was young, but now it's not so bad because he's actually acting like God.
Are you worried about that?
How much of what we observe could be explained by, he has a God complex?
It would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
I don't think it explains everything.
I think he's just in bed with the CIA and the military industrial complex, and he's making money, you know, by knowing what's going to happen, and he's sorted their bank and stuff.
So I think it has more to do with his entanglements with the other power structures in the world.
But he might also have a God complex, and that might be how they control him.
If I were going to control Soros, and I were an intelligence agent, I would say, what are his buttons?
And he already told you.
His button is he has a God complex.
So if you want to control him, you say to him, Hey, I've got an idea how you can really control everything.
You could be in control of the, uh, the district attorneys.
You could be control of free speech.
You could be control of immigration.
You just have to fund these various entities and they'll do the rest.
And then you're like God.
So somebody who has a God complex, Seems to me would be unusually easy to manipulate, because you just say, I will offer you exactly what feels the best, your God complex.
And don't worry about the details, we'll take care of that.
That would be called a psychopath, you say?
Yeah.
Even House Democrats are now trying to get Columbia to change their university board, because they think the pro-Palestinian Encampments, etc.
need to be toned down.
So even the Democrats know that the people who they thought were on their side are destroying them in the country.
There's an old video, looks like it's a new video, but it's an older video of the Patriot Front having been stopped by police and they all have the plastic tie handcuffed things on and they're all kneeling in their little khakis and blue shirts and white hats And they still have their masks on.
And they're all being very well behaved.
The whole thing looked fake.
How do they do these arrests and we still don't know their identities?
And nobody in the press, nobody in the press still has ever tried to follow their van to figure out who they are.
They do have a website.
That looks like it was, you know, made in 10 minutes by a website builder.
But it looks like, you know, maybe some federal agent had to put up a website or something.
Yeah, everything about the Patriot Front seems pretty obviously fake.
Now, there is some indication that the ADL and the Patriot Front have had some conversations about merging.
To become one poorly dressed hate group?
Because if you're poorly dressed and you're a hate group, probably you're thinking, well, we could be bigger.
So I think the ADL and the Patriot Front should just sort of merge.
They might have some problems agreeing on the hat, but they should just merge.
All the hate groups should be in one group.
And yes, I do call the ADL a hate group because they attacked me and called me a holocaust denier in public.
So, it is my job to destroy the ADL any way I can.
Remember what I said about TikTok in 2020?
2020. You didn't believe that, did you?
All right. There's a report that Hamas is ready to do a ceasefire, to do some prisoner swaps.
But President, ex-President Trump, again has perfectly captured the situation.
Now this is Trump, by the way, this is a good persuasion technique.
A good persuasion technique is to say what people are already thinking and feeling.
Alright?
So listen to see where Trump says something that you are already thinking and feeling.
That's really the secret to his technique.
Wait for it.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, he said, Israel will find, very sadly, that there are far fewer hostages than currently being thought.
That's why it's hard for Hamas to make a deal.
They are no longer able to produce the people.
because many of them are gone. Hamas is incapable of holding Jewish people for a long period of time without killing them and will only get worse. Zero leadership from Biden. October 7th would have never happened if I were president, not even a small chance. Do you see the technique?
The thing that we've all been thinking, but you don't want to say it too loudly, is that you don't believe the hostages are alive.
Or, worse, much worse, that the ones who are alive will have stories.
If you're a hostage who's alive and you're going to tell a story about getting raped every day, they're not going to return you.
They're not returning those people.
The only people that are possible to return Are people that they have not abused that badly.
Because they're, they're going to tell the stories about their, uh, their imprisonment.
So you cannot let somebody live if they're going to tell the terrible story of their imprisonment.
So this is what we've all been thinking, but it's, it's just too horrible to say out loud, but Trump says it out loud and the, and he goes completely direct.
He goes, you could not be more direct.
That Hamas is incapable of holding Jewish people for a long period of time without killing them.
Now that is so direct, and it's exactly what you're thinking.
How in the world would Hamas hold them for a long time?
It's not really practical.
And I guess some of them were Prisoners who were doled out to other terror groups that they don't have direct control over?
I mean, maybe.
But maybe that's a cover for the fact that they already killed them.
Or that they can't give them back.
So, I don't know, I don't have a lot of hope that Israel's going to get all of its people back, but it will give Israel an excuse to do whatever it wants.
So the most likely event is that Hamas will say, oh yes, how about we give you all of our hostages if you, you know, slow down with the war stuff.
And then Israel will say, okay, that's the deal.
Give us all of the hostages.
And then they're going to get 20 back.
And Hamas is going to say, well, that's all we could find.
And then Israel is going to say, we don't believe it.
You said you have 20 more.
So you'll either produce the bodies or we think you're still holding them.
And therefore we're going to keep doing exactly what we were doing before, which is attack Rafah, which they've already done.
So I don't see any hope that a prisoner exchange will stop any military action, except, you know, the day it happens, basically.
So... And do you buy the idea that there's not even a small chance that October 7th would have happened if Trump were president?
No way to know, which makes it a good claim for politics, but it's believable.
It's believable.
I do think that Trump's unpredictability Was exactly what they needed for this situation.
Exactly what was needed.
Because I think that they could sort of know what Biden was going to do.
They didn't really sort of know what Trump would have done.
And before you act, you usually have to act with an assumption about how everybody else will act if you act.
You can't make that assumption with Trump.
He is genuinely unpredictable, and that's his strategy.
So who knows?
Maybe.
The U.S.
birth rate has dropped to its lowest since 1979, with only 3.6 million children born.
Did we have 3.6 million children when we let in 10 million immigrants?
Is that roughly the number?
Or is it not 10 million in one year?
I think it's 10 million in one year, right?
Well, why is the birth rate going down?
I will give you a number of different reasons.
Number one, men and women both became way less attractive to each other.
We got fatter, way fatter, and we became unpleasant because of social media.
So even when you're with somebody, it doesn't feel like you're with them.
Have you had that situation?
Where you're with somebody and doesn't even feel like you're with them.
They're just looking at their phone.
And, um, you know, men got alternatives with porn.
So they got the phone, they got the porn, they got the dating apps that are making the most attractive guys turn into whores and the most attractive women getting used up by those most attractive men.
And then they're less marriageable.
We got the climate change that's convincing people not to have children if they're on the left.
We got the finances that make it nearly impossible to raise a family, and if you were to get divorced, you would be wiped out, basically.
So I would say that everything from the food, I think testosterone is half of what it used to be.
So you lower the testosterone, you make everybody physically unattractive, you give them better alternatives than sex with each other, porn and their phones, You give them dating apps that destroys the landscape of who finds and gets with whom, and it ruins their future marriageability.
And then you throw in climate change is going to kill you all, so why would you have children?
It's not really a mystery why the birth rate's going down.
It's everything.
It's literally everything.
And on top of that, you've got TikTok.
Doing these videos for childless adults saying how great their weekends are because they don't have any kids.
Now I have two feelings about that.
Number one, they're totally right about how great their weekend is without kids.
However, I'll just speak for myself.
There's almost nothing I ever did as a single person, even if I was in a relationship, there was almost nothing I ever did That was as fun as getting up on a Saturday morning and watching my stepdaughter at the time play soccer in a non-competitive, intramural kind of a team.
There's nothing I did that was more fun than that.
And was it easy?
Nope.
It was driving and waking up and getting food and making sure everybody's taken care of and you gotta bring chairs down and cancel everything else and it's a lot of work.
But there's nothing I did that was more that I felt like deeply, deeply enjoyed.
Just watching my stepdaughter play soccer.
That's it.
Couldn't top that.
The second thing, like the best moments ever?
Do you ever think about what you would remember if your life flashed in front of you like you're dying?
I don't know if that really happens.
But do you ever think, like, what do you call your life?
Because I find that there are moments that I call my life.
Do you ever have that?
Like, I don't think, if my life were flashing before my eyes, I don't think I would think about my Dilbert career.
As, you know, 35 years of doing it every day, I don't think I would think about it.
I'll tell you what I would think about.
If I can.
I would think about watching Disney movies with my stepkids.
That's it.
That's what I would think about.
But movies suck, and those days are over.
So, not to end on that note, but that concludes my presentation for today.
I don't know if I can talk to the locals people separately yet.
I'm going to try that feature.
But I'll see you in the man cave if this doesn't work.
