Episode 2594 CWSA 09/11/24

could be a big audience today people trying to find out Scott what do you think about that debate well you're gonna find out good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization I mean not counting the debate last night if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that would be a cuper mugg or glass a tanker chel or Stein a Canen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine of the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go well there's yet another coffee study says it's full of vitamins and antioxidants and they studied 400,000 people and they found that uh if you drink coffee for 13 to 14 years you have a substantially lower risk of death and so ladies and gentlemen I'm going for immortality if a little bit of coffee can make you live longer a lot of coffee can make you immortal that's just common sense so please join me in immortality if you like coffee well today's September 11th and we will remember the tragedy and the victims and the heroes Etc um but it makes me think that uh there there's some kind of a limit to how many days that can be special there there are 365 days typically and uh now we have September 11th is special and January 6th is special and of course December 7th is the day of infamy and December 25th we got your Christmas July 4th you got your Independence Day we got the juneth and of course June 8th my birthday so quite a few days are already spoken for so if you are planning to do any kind of big thing that would be remembered in history you want to stay away from the reserved day is um something in March would be good there's nothing in March yeah so if you're going to do something that's going to be world changing and it's going to Mark a day look for March it's sort of unspoiled territory there well we will talk about the debate of course I'm just waiting for people to Pile in here um the update on inflation has fallen to 2.5 % which is in line with expectations so we got the core inflation is unchanged but they expected that so that's good right all the inflation's over thank goodness here I thought my prices were higher than they used to be but no no now I know that inflation is right back down to almost where you want it to be two would be better than two and a half but you know pretty close let's see uh what does that imply well I would I would think that with this good inflation news the FED will be uh lowering interest rates the stock market will be up and enthusiasm about the economy will be rising right around election day which should raise a little flag in your mind that says huh huh the administration that's in charge says the economy is extra good right before the election I wonder if there's any data they left out well according to Republican researcher Jackie ktz I think that's at least somewhere close to the way she pronounces her name um since Harris took office gas is up 46% electricity 30% fuel oil 43% airfare 21 hotels 49 groceries 21 baby food 29 K2 through K through 12 food 66% rent 22% Transportation 32% car Insurance 55% overall inflation 20% real average weekly earnings down 3.4% now even if you adjust for the fact that some of these comparisons are wonky because of the pandemic you know for example I imagine the pandemic lowered airfare for a while because demand was down so I'm not sure where we're counting from but um generally speaking generally speaking uh prices are way up and I think everybody knows it well importantly after the debate Taylor Swift endorsed Harris and signed off on her letter saying why uh she she called herself a single cat lady which was kind of funny but also suggests you know maybe that cat lady thing hurt a little bit maybe it hurt a little bit well as others have pointed out and Trump pointed this out himself it's really expensive to be a public figure and endorse a political candidate what do you suppose it will cost Taylor Swift to support Harris well if it's anything like we've seen before she should probably instantly lose about 20% of her annual pay meaning that fewer people will support her we don't know that but that would be a typical response so so let's see recently she made $92 million in a year with her tour so let's say she takes 20% off of that so that's that's going to hurt a little bit um let's say that her music catalog which is estimated to be worth 500 to $600 million let's say that goes up in value and she's got this uh what do you call unrealized uh capital gains so let's say it doubles in value then she'd pay 25% on her extra half a half a billion so that might cost her 125 million or um and of course her income taxes would be higher because she's a high income person under Harris so if her endorsement makes a difference it puts Harris over the top uh should cost Taylor Swift for the for that several hundred million dollar several $100 million now you could argue that Elon Musk cost him way more than that for endorsing somebody you might say that me endorsing Trump cost me some number of millions of dollars which it did and uh it's expensive so I have to admit I kind of appreciate that she's willing to to basically lose hundreds of millions of dollars to use her free speech and have her free opinion of how things should be but it's going to be expensive Taylor all right Elon Musk saw that and responded humorously on X uh he said remember she signed it off as a single cat lady and so Elon Musk posts this he goes fine Taylor you win I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life okay that's really funny I will give you a child coming from Elon Musk who's got 11 11 children for various baby bamas I will I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life see th this is why I doubt that Elon Musk is on the Spectrum now he says he is I mean he's referred to himself as having Aspergers but you can't write that joke if you're on the spectrum that that is not the kind of joke you normally this is a sophisticated joke I mean it's actually really well written so I don't know what is up with you musk's brain but it's not operating like your brain and my brain and that's good for him I guess um you know I do wonder if JD Vance's single cat ladies you know one-time reference he made that of course they making a big deal about does that feel like his deplorables moment meaning that single cat ladies represent a pretty large percentage of the total voters and people who love single cat ladies I suppose so it kind of feels like he you know he uh insulted a group of Americans who are not going to forget it very much like the deplorables comment um and I don't think that he meant it as anything but a colorful way to talk but so did Hillary it's just that sometimes these stains don't wash out and I think he's got one that doesn't wash out but it only affects that one uh that one demographic and they were probably all going to be for comml Harris anyway so I saw yesterday this uh compilation of uh yet yet again the media that backs the Democrats using the same language in every newscast it was it was a after Joe Biden did the State of the Union the most recent one and all the newscasters were saying it was fiery that's fiery fiery fiery and you could look at it go oh well they obviously had some kind of memo that they're all they're all supposed to say fiery because when you see them like back to back they're just all using the same word it's fiery he was fiery today it's pretty obvious that you know was sort of a talking points memo when they all got it or that's what I used to think and when I say used to think I mean yesterday I have modified my belief on this topic because the moment or even before the the uh debate was over I saw the first person on the right say hey that was really three against one and I thought that oh yeah that's a that's sort of a clever way to frame it because it you know you're saying that the moderators were for one side 3 to one and I saw somebody else say it and then somebody else and somebody else and somebody else and it was exactly like that that fiery thing it looked like but I'm pretty sure this is not the case it looked like every Republican got a memo instantly saying uh you should say it's a 3:1 just say it's 3:1 now that didn't happen I I feel confident that there was no memo and nobody told anybody to say that but everybody said it everybody said it it'll be in the comments you watch the comments and the PE the people who didn't hear me say this as they're coming in the first thing they'll say is it was three to one so sometimes it looks like it is a memo I'm sure that was true with the dark thing during the 2016 thing everybody say dark his speech was dark that was definitely a memo but apparently this can happen spontaneously as well and I'd love to know who was the first one to say it did it did it come from one of the you know Fox News hosts who said it first because it must have been something that a lot of people saw was it one of the Trump campaign people who said it so if anybody knows who was the first person to say that it would be interesting because that that just swept through everything and I'm so bored with it I don't want to ever hear it again because it just it already feels like swimming is the best exercise and it just feels like the most basic thing you could say about the debate so I'm like I'm so bored with that but we will talk about it um all right so the debate happened um I'll be a little bit all over the place on this because I took so many notes but I I saw a screen that I thought was a joke so it showed uh Daniel Dale the fact checker for CNN and next to them it showed a graphic that I I knew was fake when I saw it because it said that uh Trump had 33 lies and Harris had one and I thought okay that's that's a pretty good meme but I'm surprised that they didn't go to zero why would you do one you know if you're going to make a meme joke and then I saw it again and I thought oh wait a minute the second person who's sending it around isn't indicating it's a joke and then I had to go look at the source and play the video for myself it was real did any how many of you watched the debate can you even believe that somebody called the CNN fjer scored at 33 to1 what we're going to talk about all the uh the lies I mean I won't have time to talk about all of them because the thing was it was just full of lies and hoaxes but how in the world do they have the balls to say it was 33 to1 I'm going to mention all the things that were obvious lies and that Daniel Dale didn't catch any of them except whatever the one was that obviously had no obviously whatever the one was was one that doesn't matter in other words he must have randomly picked out of the many many lies that Hara said he must have picked the one that wouldn't hurt her so that he could say he found one I mean he needs to quit like immediately if it was his own idea that there was only one problem on Harris's side just one he needs to quit or be fired he's an embarrassment to CNN at this point I I was kind of I've been curious about him because I wondered if does CNN tell him what to say or or are these actually his opinions yeah so um at this point it's obvious I think it's obvious I don't want to be a mind reader but how many of you would agree with the following statement Daniel Dale knew he was lying a lot with his analysis would you agree with that I don't know any other way to explain it because the lies were so obvious and so numerous and and the people watching it all knew and he couldn't catch more than one that's just there's no way that's an honest attempt at doing your job that is completely dishonest and I wonder was he forced to do it at the at the risk of losing his job was there somebody who said look here's the deal I only want you to say there was one well but there were 15 yeah I know but I want you to say there was one or we'll fire you do you think that happened because if it didn't happen he's a piece of I mean that is one worthless piece of person unless he was forced and I'm going to give him the benefit of a doubt that he was coerced to be that bad CU if he did that naturally if that was organic no it couldn't have been because I've I've seen him work I mean you you can tell he's biased but he's not a idiot right so he was presenting himself as really just a idiot and there's no way that's real or organic because he isn't he he's clearly unethical and corrupt that seems obvious but he's not dumb anyway so that wasn't a joke uh Bill Mitchell had a list of the things Harris said wrong I had maybe a quibble with a few of them so so I removed them but I'll tell you the ones that are obvious so Harris used the fine people hoax and was not fact checked by the hosts keep in mind that the hosts uh fact checked Trump in real time I saw two different numbers one said four times and one said seven um four for sure but none Harris was never fact jacked in real time and we'll talk about what they fact checked on Trump but she she put down the fine people hoax didn't get caught she said project 2025 was Trump's that's not uh she said he wanted to be a dictator that's fake wanted to terminate the Constitution nope nothing like that she said that Trump told uh Putin that he could quote do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine nothing like that ever happened she blamed the Afghanistan withdrawal on Trump that's ridiculous she used the bloodbath hoax that was Trump talking about economics and they made it sound like it was going to be a violent Insurrection um they talk she said that Trump would have an abortion monitor that doesn't make sense and he's never suggested anything like that um she said that uh uh back in the 70s was it uh that Trump refused to rent to Black Families my understanding of that is that the Trump um company plad guilty to discriminating in um renting but that that was never tied to Trump so so there was an acknowledgement by the staff that they did but there was no no smoking gun that said Trump told them to do it use your own judgment on that one uh Central P five she Hara said that Trump called for executing the Central Park 5 that was not true he called for execution in general and did not mention the Central Park 5 and uh also at when Trump defended himself he said that that was when they had been found guilty later I think that changed but oh no the police I think it was based on the police saying they were guilty so that was Trump's defense there was the suckers and losers hoax uh Trump never called military veteran suckers and losers there was a then Harris had a new one she referred to Trump's uh tariffs as a national sales tax and never explained that what she meant was in effect that a tariff would look like a sales tax to Americans so that was just a lie because she didn't explain what the context was um she uh distorted unemployment Fe figures she uh she what else did she do it's quite a long list here um she said that there are no troops in combat zones under the Biden Administration she said that five police officers died on January 6 so she alleged the way she said it was like they died during the event that was not the case um and let's see there was another I think there was one point where she had three three hoaxes and one answer one in one answer she used the fine people hoax the stand back and standby thing as if it was a malicious she was talking about he was talking about but he wasn't and then the bloodbath one so here's the thing it seems clear to me two things things number one KL Harris knew in advance that she would not be fact jacked don't you think that's true do you think she would have brought out the fine people hoax if she thought ABC was going to fact check her I don't think so somehow she knew she wouldn't be fact jacked and he would right now I saw uh Mike cernovich and some other people suggest that she had gotten the questions and Advance because when the initial question came out she had great answers but when uh there was any kind of followup she struggled a little bit now I'm not sure you could tell from that alone you know because confirmation bias would slip in there a little bit and you you'd imagine you're seeing it even if it's not there but here's why I think she saw the questions um and many of you knew this that the head of the Network the CEO who owns Disney that owns ABC is your best friend for 30 years do you think they're somebody's best friend of 30 years I don't know if they're best friends but they're good friends for 30 years uh do you think that her good friend of 30 years wouldn't tell her the questions see in the world I live in it's just guaranteed if your best friend has access to the questions and she would cuz she could just say hey before you ask the questions you need to run them by management and then she just sees them and then she goes to Kell Harris and she goes hey here's what the questions are now if you're telling me that her friend didn't do that for her knowing that there was a zero chance of getting caught because all she had to do is say look you know I wrote this on a piece of paper take this to kamla make sure nobody else sees it it would be the easiest thing in the world not to get caught so if it has a high benefit and you have easy access to it you're literally the boss H High benefit no chance of getting caught easy access under those conditions cheating happens almost every time so you don't have to I don't think you have to dissect the difference between the prepared answers and the less prepared answers there's some something to that there there was one example I think was she somehow knew that there were 9,000 or however many she knew she knew the number of Polish people living in Pennsylvania for some reason which sounds like something you wouldn't even know there was no reason to know it unless you had prepared for the question so there were some signals that she prepared for the question but I'm telling you that the setup largely guarantees she saw the questions largely guarantees I mean in the world I live in if your friend has a big benefit for you easy access to it and almost no way to get caught and even if you got caught it would be blown off I mean people would say ah well yeah it happens every time in that in that condition all right um let's see so here's some of the fact checks uh well we'll talk about that separately let me give you the overall um Harris won the handshake how many of you noticed that so Trump does this thing where he establishes dominance with his handshake like he'll grab your hand and pull you in and you know like control you with two hands and it's a strategy it it kind of establishes your Alpha dominance because you controlled the handshake it wasn't an equal thing and if you noticed when they both walked on stage that Harris closed the distance and shook hands with him behind his own Podium so Trump instead of meeting her halfway she walked to him and then she introduced herself hi I'm KL Harris now that was funny because I think he probably knew who she was without the introduction but they had never met so if you've never met it's sort of normal to say your name it's kind of weird when famous people say their name I've I've had the same experience you know I'll be in an event where people went there to see me and I'll still introduce myself you know like we came here to see you we kind of know your name but it's just an automatic habit anyway so I think that she uh immediately and strategically I don't think any of that was an accident she took the handshake initiative number two I thought they both look great did anybody have that impression so compliments to hair and makeup compliments to whoever dressed them compliments to ever whoever did the lighting but I thought both of them looked great like as good as they've ever looked Trump looked great I mean he looked young and energetic his hair was on point makeup was good uh Harris looked better than I've ever seen her recently um so real good job on the support staff making both of them look good um the the bottom line is that Harris beat expectations because she was well prepared probably knew the questions and she simply did her her standard answers now Trump said he had his best ever debate and he's not wrong about that I I actually felt that if it had been a normal debate against a normal person you know under a fair circumstances I could imagine that you would rank him the winner but it wasn't that you know the mo moderators were clearly on one side we'll talk about that and he missed a lot of layups meaning that she gave him so many openings to end the race he didn't take any of them why I don't know I don't know was he not skilled enough was he not prepared I mean when the fine people hoax came up you know he dismissed it as a debunk hoax do you know what else he could have done he could have turned to the moderators and say are we are you guys debunking hoaxes today or you just going to leave this one for me just imagine that if he just turned to the hosts and said are are you jumping in with any uh factchecking here or do you want me to do this one then he should have said if it was up to him so first of all he should have called out the host for not being equal fact cheing if not then then at least when it became an obvious pattern he should have he should have hit it so that that was a missed opportunity he should have said if you're watching at home for some of you this will be the first time you ever heard that the fine people hoax was a hoax you're not going to believe me when I tell you it's a hoax but do this go to Snopes and just look up the find people hoax you'll find out that Biden ran his entire campaign on something that you could have told was fake simply by listening to the whole video instead of the edited one just think about who I'm running against they ran that entire hoax and the media and you see that your ABC HOA are sitting here silently they let that go it's the most dangerous hoax in American history and they just sat there and let and let you say that right in front of the public I'm going to end that tonight every one of you you've got a computer at home go to Snopes it's a left leaning fact Checker so you can know that if they fact check this one it wasn't because you know they were being biased and he could have ended the entire the entire election would be over she just handed him the kill shot and he didn't take it and I felt like he that happened several times he he is terrible at explaining his way and of hoaxes I don't know why because he's so good at everything else it it's kind of a mystery to me but it's obvious now that the um campaign knows that he's not that she's not going to get fact jacked by the media and they know that they can overload him with hoaxes and it will just make him frustrated and keep him off point so she offloaded she just she just went heavy with the hoaxes and it worked it worked so once again yet another signal that her advisers are really really good I hate to say it but they're really good I keep telling you it's not an accident that that things look different for kind of Suddenly It's Your advisers they're really good and if they told her look just keep dumping those hoaxes on them because you just bury them in hoaxes nobody's going to fact check it anyway that was the right advice I mean if you're unethical in a weasel but it's politics so it's normal um some people said Scott you idiot it wasn't a tie I kind of called it a tie meaning that it didn't changed many votes but um people said to me but Scott she said the thing that was wrong and then uh Trump correctly um corrected it so he gets the point and then there were lots of points he made so if he add it all up he won that's not how anything works it wasn't a debate in in the sense that there was any back and forth of of of any consequence and it doesn't matter who won on points it matters how you felt that's it so I didn't even score it on points it's not like a boxing match where you could win within a knockout no none of those points made any difference to anybody at all so if she avoided a question some people said ah but the Public's going to notice that she avoided the very first question or people better off or worse off she didn't even answer to which I say nobody's going to care that she a qu that she avoided a question it's the most ordinary thing that politicians do and I will go further and say that when I first got into the public um sphere when Dilbert took off uh my publisher decided that I needed some media training here's the entire media training if you don't like the question that they ask answer the question you feel like answering the one that you want to answer that's good for you that's and then run out the clock because if somebody's asking you questions it's usually on video they usually have a time limit so if you don't like their question just ignore it and answer some adjacent question that's the one you wish they had asked and she did so if you're saying to me but Scott she's showing her weakness by avoiding a question nope that's not what she showed she showed she's well trained avoiding that first question was exactly the way she was trained that is Media training it's exactly what it looks like so was she prepared yeah yeah she was prepared um some say her you know her smugness will be a turnoff others say I saw a fisher king note this on X that uh her her facial expressions where she was sort of sort of mocking Trump for his various points as you know looking like what's wrong with you oh oh are are you being crazy now you know so she really worked the facial stuff and to me it was very off-putting but was I going to vote her no didn't matter what I thought what do the single women and the people in her base think about all the faces she was making a trump probably loved it cuz they were feeling the same feeling that her face was exhibiting and it probably worked so you can't judge it by what you think of it you have to judge the debate by what the people she's talking to likely responded to and I think they probably responded to her face if they liked her uh the there were no great memorable lines that change anything but there were a couple of funny ones uh when Harris interrupted Trump he he did the uh I'm talking now basically a call back to her doing that in the debate and it worked so he took away from her the ability to do that to him so he was prepared for that and he and he handled it by doing it first now if he had prepared to do it first you know if she ever interrupted me he would do it first you know give her that line and then joke about it that would be good preparing that would have been smart if he wasn't prepar prepared for it and he did it spontaneously it was even smarter so that was just a good play whether he was uh expecting it or not um and then she had a good line saying that Trump was fired by 81 million people I mean that's a good one for her base a yeah you're the guy who fires people well you got fired by 81 million people it's a pretty good line politically it kind of stick in your mind a little bit probably will get used again she did bait Trump and oh my god when I saw it happening I said don't go in the Trum when she said that Trump's uh rally crowds were bored and would leave early as soon as she said that I said don't take the bait don't don't and he took the bait and I could feel my heart just sink because it put her in charge she she was basically directing the terms of the conversation and he was letting her because he can't handle the apparently he just can't handle that kind of specific attack on his ego I guess so that was really the the baiting of the Lesser important things to get him to defend them that was just brilliant that was brilliant and worked um she didn't cackle very much so her anti- cackle efforts have been successful um I would say of trump remember you know he said it was his best debate ever and I'm actually agreeing even while I'm criticizing him because I think her debate I hate to say it but it's one of the best you're ever going to see because she was so well prepared and I think this has more to do with her advice than it does with her honestly I don't think it give her all the credit you have to say she her advisers were just right on point I don't think on her own she would have come up with that rally crowd thing but somebody who really knows the psychology of things that you know if you stick that in there you're going to take him right off his game she did and it did in my opinion um so here's how I put it if I put it in basketball terms I would say that Trump uh made every two-point jump shot so if he had an open jump shot he made it cleanly so he did everything that's sort of the basics you know you want to hit hit all your points Etc he missed all of his layups so like you know debunking the fine people hoax and ending the the entire campaign that was a layup it wasn't hard to end the entire campaign you just had to do it he didn't do it so he missed several layups and I don't even think he I don't think he even attempted a three-point shot so he didn't get any kill shots like uh you know only Rosie odonnell I mean the only Rosie odonnell remark was you know for the ages you didn't have any one of those so nothing special but also nothing that's a big mistake you know falling for these little baiting things you didn't spend a lot of time on it so it wasn't the biggest mistake in the world but yeah nothing special um let's see what else I would say that the viewing public is not influenced by how many lies either of them told or how many hoaxes that's why kamla can just throw in the hoaxes one after another I don't think anybody cares that anybody avoided a question um and uh here's a take that I thought was kind of brilliant I saw a few people have this opinion that it might only matter what the pennsylvanians thought about it and Pennsylvania cares about fracking so if Trump if Trump made a dent in the Pennsylvania vote just by the fracking conversation and nothing else he won the election she may have won the debate but if he did only that one thing made Pennsylvania little bit just a little bit more prot Trump that's the whole game so we do have this weird situation where I think she won the debate he may have won the election which would be fascinating and that would be compounded on top of her not picking Shapiro as her vice president so you can almost see the after Story forming if Trump wins it's going to be the fracking and it's going to be you know not picking Shapiro as her VP so we'll see um the most annoying thing that she did uh is possibly my fault I have to take some responsibility for this I I don't know for sure so I might be aggressively connecting dots that shouldn't be connected have I told you the story about helping Al Gore and Bill Clinton during their campaign against Bob Dole in which I did give some advice to the campaign and my advice was that Bob Dole kept saying he was going to take the country back to the greatest Generation you know better ethical moral patriotic spiritual um ways and I said just say he's taking you to the past and you're taking them to the Future and that's the end of the race and so they did and that was the end of the race if you remember Clinton slogan turned into uh we're a bridge to the Future and he's a bridge to the past as soon as you can successfully frame your opponent as taking you to the Past nobody cares how good the past was it's the past there's just nobody interested in the past they're interested in what are you going to do tomorrow but if you can get away with that framing that is really really powerful and so it makes me wonder if any of the people advising Harris remember that from the Clinton days because if they did that was my fault so I might have had some indirect role in that it might they wouldn't know it by the way they wouldn't be aware that I had any role in it they might have just seen the VP and the President Clinton say it and say that that sounds good they would not necessarily know that came from me all right the Harris campaign very cleverly again freaking brilliant said right after the campaign that uh uh that they won it and they're looking forward to having another debate now Trump tried to frame that as well why would they need another debate if they won this one but they're framing it as we beat you so badly we'd love to do it again so I don't know if they'll do it again I don't think it's a good idea I think if Trump took a second bite the odds of him correcting his you know the holes that he had in the first one were pretty high because the the his holes are really obvious you know he just didn't go well against the h say he could practice that and nail it next time I think that the Harris campaign will just find a reason to say no so Trump will say hey let's do it on Fox News they'll say no we don't like Fox News and then that'll be it but they'll be able to say they wanted a debate and then still not have one so they win twice once by saying they want it and another time but not having it every time I see Harris's campaign work it's always good I hate to say it I really really hate it but they're very smart and they you know consistently if it were one thing I'd be like well I got lucky you know blind squirrel finds n but it's kind of every day now and when you look at the fact that they hid her from the public for so long and then when she finally comes out and everybody's expecting the worst she does her best performance that borers on genius campaign work maybe it's just genius it's brilliant it's evil it's unethical it's immoral but it's brilliant all right um I think this happens every debate every debate there's a rumor that the Democrat was wearing an earpiece so there's a there's some allegations that her uh Harris's ear earrings were a special kind of earring that does exist apparently that doubles as a like an earplug not earplug a what do you call it a headphone except is sits outside your ear but my understanding is although it's outside the ear like like an earring that's got a little speaker thing that's pointing toward your ear so only you can hear it now there's a picture of that device that has that quality that it's a like a headphone thing yeah and I'm seeing Oh here here it goes and here's a picture here's a picture of it you see that so that that's a picture that is exactly the um that earbud headphone thing so if this is a real picture she was definitely wearing an earbud is it a real picture no of course not no that's not a real picture if you see the real picture it's she's not wearing those that's a photosho picture uh very photoshopped now I was lucky enough that I saw the real one like half a minute before I saw the photoshopped one so you know you could see what happened yeah it was a Photoshop I guarantee it it was a Photoshop all right uh but we're there's always that hoax every time there's one of these debates there's always the somebody was giving her the answer hoax um let's talk about the fake fact checking by the hosts David mure uh so he challenged uh Trump said uh he said you said you lost by a whisker but all the other times you said you had been cheated so did you change your opinion and believe that you did really lose and Trump said that uh you know he was being sarcastic when he said he lost by a whisker now that's what I thought I I said it actually in advance I said that when he said I lost by a whisker that he was sort of you know joking and the implication was that they cheated so he said lost by a whisker just sort of being jokingly sarcastic about it now that's exactly how I interpreted it but I'm also aware that if if you if you're coming from a different perspective you wouldn't necessarily interpret it that way so David mure decides to fact check him by saying you know we checked all the video and it it didn't sound sarcastic to me to which I said wait a minute one person's opinion of what somebody's thinking is not a fact Jack what kind of fact check is that my opinion of what you were thinking when the person just told you what they were thinking now you don't fact check somebody's internal thoughts in a debate for president you're going to let the fine people hoax just go by but you're going to fact check him on what you believe he was secretly thinking oh my God that that that's just so you know on the nose corrupt that's it's incredible um let me give you a little uh I don't know why I need to tell you this but somehow it seems relevant I once uh spent the whole day with David mure So a number of years ago he was still with ABC and he came out to where I lived and hung out with me all day to do a story on my voice because you know I had that voice problem for a while and ABC did a nice special on you know this condition and helped me helped me promote that there's a cure for it now so uh ABC News and David Muer specifically did a very useful valuable thing for a number of people because to the to the extent that people found out there was a cure for it they probably went out and got it some of them anyway so he's you know uh if I can judge him from that one experience very nice guy enjoy enjoyed talking to him totally and uh and he did a valuable thing for people and it really mattered I mean it really really mattered if they got fixed so there's that now there's one other interesting thing that happened that day so I was married to my first wife then and uh we went to dinner to continue the conversation and as we're driving to dinner my my ex-wife first ex-wife was telling a story about somebody she knows and it was a a longish story about somebody he doesn't know and just somebody that the two of us know we get to this restaurant and we get seated and we're sitting right next to the guy we've been talking about in the car for the last hour in the restaurant and and we had go you know David you know that guy we were just talking about for an hour that's him right there and he was like what yeah you know the guy we just talked about for an hour we just sat down next to him he's right there we go hey how you doing that really happened to this day I can't it's one of the freakiest things that's ever happened to me so when I see David mure I I think about that weird simulation experience anyway that's enough about me um let's talk about I know I'm going to get hammered for this but I'm going to do it anyway because I just have this need so there's a question about uh babies being born alive and then Trump's claim that uh that the doctor can basically kill them or let them die after they're born alive now the Democrats and uh also David mure I believe fact checked that and said uh no that doesn't happen there's there's no example it just doesn't happen that's just not true so uh I have a take on what's true and it's real interesting because it's almost like both sides are using the same language but they're somehow ignoring part of it or something here's what I believe to be true that if there's an abortion and it would normally if if the baby is old enough to have some viability there's probably some medical reason for the mother not necessarily but there might be but that when the baby is born the examples given of where they were in fact alive after they were aborted they were not viable meaning that they might only have a few hours to have a heartbeat and they there's nothing you could do now is that how you understand it or do you understand that some of those babies could have a long healthy life if they just put their effort into it my understanding is that although in the medical community people can be wrong you know you probably are aware that one of the biggest causes of death are medical mistakes you all know that did you know that just in general forget about abortion in general one of the biggest ways that people die is that the hospital the doctor made a mistake very very common now if you assume that medical help is still better than no medical help then although you can hate the fact that medicine kills a lot of people you can still say okay we're still in favor of health care if it's the same in this abortion situation that there might actually be a case where a baby was born alive and they let it die that could have been saved and could have had a you know a full life of some kind then that might actually be true but it wouldn't be unusual if you look at the larger field of medicine they make mistakes because they're humans but it's hard for me to imagine a situation and by the way if you're thinking I'm going to be Pro or anti-abortion I'm not I still think women need to figure it out just tell me what you decided I'm just describing it so you can understand it better I hope what I think happens is that you probably have at least one medical professional at least the doctor probably nurses and some other people involved if you know if it's a normal procedure and you may have at least the mother being involved in the decision now you've got the hardest decision in the freaking world that you aborted but there's something there with a heartbeat whose job is it to figure out what to do now it's it's yours you the mother you the doctor and maybe a few other people involved it's the hardest decision in the world do you um try your best and maybe all you've done is taking something that didn't need to suffer and giving it a week more of suffering just pure suffering or do you say let me give it some um whatever this is whatever you want to call it you could call it a baby or not but I'm going to give us some painkillers but since I don't think it can survive under any condition I'm going to make sure the painkillers are lethal nobody would check and by the way is that unethical it's the way we handle seniors when when a person is a 100 years old and near death and can't make their own decisions anyway the the doctor and the family member is closest they decide do we give you a basically lethal dose of painkiller and hurry things up because there's nothing there's nothing that can be gained there's no upside now could they ever be wrong yes they could be wrong and they could end up basically killing somebody who could have had a whole life just like every other part of Medicine they can be wrong but here's my take if the if the mother and the doctor in their best judgment make a decision at that moment I don't want anybody else in the world involved because it's the hardest decision in the world and they're the closest to it even if they get it wrong I still back them it's the hardest decision in the world we should just stay the out of that because they're not going to be happy about it yeah just just imagine your mental state if you had to be in that unusual situation where there's a heartbeat after the abortion if you're the doctor how do you deal with that I mean that that's got to be the most disturbing thing you can even imagine so I say under those situations it's life and death literally and if the if the mother and the doctor and their best judgment have decided that really easing the pain of whatever this creature is is their best play I think second guessing them is immoral just feels immoral because of how difficult that decision is and we don't I I'm going to assume that people make mistakes it's still immoral to second guess them I think now this is not not an opinion on abortion because it's it's just such a special case it's not really about abortion in general so I think the truth is that U neither side is describing it exactly accurately and if they did they wouldn't have a difference if they if they explained it accurately I think they'd be on the same side basically that's my take um and so here's the easier way to understand that I believe that when these um babies are aborted yet they have a little bit of a heartbeat or life left in them that the doctor probably sees it as hospice and the way you would treat hospice is not the way you treat somebody else look at the video oh somebody saying that the photograph of her wearing normal earrings is not equal to the video okay I'm not in this there's nothing you can do to convince me she was wearing a deer piece there's nothing so you just give up on that one all right then there was a question about uh Trump went about the eating the animals the Haitians or the immigrants eating the animals and of course they got fact checked in the way that the fake news fact checks things how does the fake news fact check uh something that's true but they want to say it's not true true they use the same technique they say we asked somebody and they said they didn't have any information about it so David mure fact checks him by saying you know we talk to the town and the town says they don't have any information about people eating animals well did you talk to any of the town's people because apparently there are quite a few reports doesn't mean it's true I don't know if it's true but there are reports so uh and then Harris did the whole oh oh you you think oh you're being so ridiculous now you're saying they're eating animals oh and she pulled it off unfortunately she won that round um so anyway I think everybody's going to blame ABC for being bias they clearly were um I don't think that's why Trump did not um did not win because I don't think he won um I think Trump needed to do a better job of dealing with the hoaxes and that's the whole to me that's the whole story he wasn't prepared for the specific most obvious attack and if you don't prepare for the specific most obvious attack what are you doing so I hate to say it but one of them did their homework better was prepared better and it was haris now it's not going to make me vote for her because she's she's shown one look it does however make me feel better about one thing then in 2018 when uh I was predicting that Harris would be the biggest problem for trump it was because I'd seen her act this way you know when she was doing some Senate hearings thing she was like this which also suggests perhaps yeah I'm seeing a video of her not wearing earrings that are the that kind um anyway so uh a couple of closing things the Venezuelan gang that trenda araga gang they took over a hotel in El Paso turned it into a violent drug Den according to the Gateway pundit so took over a hotel I don't know how many of the other stories about Venezuelan gangs taking over buildings are true but it certainly has my attention some of them might be exaggerations I don't know anyway if you didn't catch it on the all-in Pod event apparently ell Elon Musk said that uh America would do great if they can just get rid of all the regulations so we can operate and he says uh quote I think the reality is that if we get rid of nonsense regulations and shift people from the government to the private sector we will have immense prosperity and then he said I think we'll have a golden age in this country and it'll be fantastic so maybe the golden age is still on but it's going to require a trump now I saw uh the Kennedy and shanan weighing in on the debate I don't think either of them should be happy about that debate because I don't think he brought up the chronic illness thing for example um so I think they were a little underserved by that debate and uh just the news is reporting that a bipartisan group of attorney generals is urging that social media have a warning label on it a health warning label on social media now it's a bipartisan group what do you think of that I think it's pretty good I think there should be warning labels on social media but I think we should take it further I think there should be warning labels on the Nightly News on the networks and it should say this news is not intended to be reality sometimes it's fiction if you were to believe it as reality it could cause mental illness such as as you might think the world is going to burn up from global warming so it's unhealthy to watch these programs unless you understand that it's fiction now is that going too far no it's not I mean it's not going to happen but that would be completely honest and appropriate to say that it's not necessarily true what you see on the news because if you're a kid how old were you when you realize the news wasn't true probably not very young right I'll bet in your 20s you thought the news was real maybe for most of your 30s somewhere around the 40s you start noticing patterns and you think wait a minute I'm not so sure this news is even real and then if you're me you know when you get older you're more likely to have been a subject of a news report if you've ever seen yourself in a news report or you're an expert on that category then you know it's really fake and that's when you're like oh what if the rest of it is fake too and then you find out it is at least the political stuff pretty much all fake so let's put those warning labels on there people warning labels all right that's all I've got for today um my announcement for tomorrow is I don't expect to have a show tomorrow I just have some personal business to take care of that I couldn't schedule any other way so um you will miss me tomorrow live anyway probably if I come on it'll be for five minutes or something just to say hi but uh don't worry it's nothing important nothing nothing of consequence I just have something scheduled tell you about it later um and that's all for today I'm going to talk to the locals people privately but thanks for joining on and Rumble and You.

Tube I'll see you all tomorrow no not tomorrow soon we'll see you soon bye for now e e e e e e e e

could be a big audience today people

trying to find out Scott what do you

think about that

debate well you're gonna find

[Music]

out good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

I mean not counting the debate last

night if you'd like to take your

experience up to levels that nobody can

even understand with their tiny shiny

human brains all you need for that would

be a cuper mugg or glass a tanker chel

or Stein a Canen Jugger flask a vessel

of any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee and join me now for

the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine

of the day thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens now go

well there's yet another coffee study

says it's full of vitamins and

antioxidants and they studied 400,000

people and they found that uh if you

drink coffee for 13 to 14 years you have

a

substantially lower risk of

death and so ladies and gentlemen I'm

going for

immortality if a little bit of coffee

can make you live longer a lot of coffee

can make you immortal that's just common

sense so please join me in

immortality if you like

coffee well today's September 11th and

we will remember the tragedy and the

victims and the heroes

Etc um but it makes me think that uh

there there's some kind of a limit to

how many days that can be special there

there are 365 days

typically and uh now we have September

11th is special and January 6th is

special and of course December 7th is

the day of infamy and December 25th we

got your Christmas July 4th you got your

Independence Day we got the juneth and

of course June 8th my birthday so quite

a few days are already spoken

for so if you are planning to do any

kind of big thing that would be

remembered in history you want to stay

away from the reserved day

is um something

in March would be good there's nothing

in

March yeah so if you're going to do

something that's going to be world

changing and it's going to Mark a day

look for March it's sort of unspoiled

territory

there well we will talk about the debate

of course I'm just waiting for people to

Pile in here um the update on inflation

has fallen to 2.5 % which is in line

with

expectations so we got the core

inflation is unchanged but they expected

that so that's good right all the

inflation's over thank goodness here I

thought my prices were higher than they

used to be but no no now I know that

inflation is right back down to almost

where you want it to be two would be

better than two and a half but you know

pretty close let's see uh what does that

imply

well I would I would think that with

this good inflation news the FED will be

uh lowering interest rates the stock

market will be up and enthusiasm about

the economy will be rising right around

election day which should raise a little

flag in your mind that says huh huh the

administration that's in charge says the

economy is extra good right before the

election I wonder if there's any data

they left out

well according to Republican researcher

Jackie

ktz I think that's at least somewhere

close to the way she pronounces her

name um since Harris took office gas is

up 46% electricity 30% fuel oil 43%

airfare 21 hotels 49 groceries 21 baby

food 29 K2 through K through 12 food 66%

rent 22% Transportation 32% car

Insurance 55% overall inflation 20% real

average weekly earnings down

3.4% now even if you adjust for the fact

that some of these comparisons are wonky

because of the pandemic you know for

example I imagine the pandemic lowered

airfare for a while because demand was

down so I'm not sure where we're

counting from but um generally

speaking generally speaking uh

prices are way up and I think everybody

knows it well importantly after the

debate Taylor Swift endorsed Harris and

signed off on her letter saying why uh

she she called herself a single cat lady

which was kind of funny but also

suggests you know maybe that cat lady

thing hurt a little

bit maybe it hurt a little bit well as

others have pointed out and Trump

pointed this out himself it's really

expensive to be a public figure and

endorse a political

candidate what do you suppose it will

cost Taylor

Swift to support Harris well if it's

anything like we've seen before she

should probably instantly lose about 20%

of her annual pay meaning that fewer

people will support her we don't know

that but that would be a typical

response so so let's see recently she

made $92 million in a year with her tour

so let's say she takes 20% off of that

so that's that's going to hurt a little

bit um let's say that her music catalog

which is estimated to be worth 500 to

$600

million let's say that goes up in value

and she's got this uh what do you call

unrealized uh capital

gains so let's say it doubles in value

then she'd pay 25% on her extra half a

half a billion so that might cost her

125 million

or

um and of course her income taxes would

be higher because she's a high income

person under Harris so if her

endorsement makes a difference it puts

Harris over the top uh should cost

Taylor Swift for the for that several

hundred million

dollar several $100

million now you could argue that Elon

Musk cost him way more than that for

endorsing somebody you might say that me

endorsing

Trump cost me some number of millions of

dollars which it did and uh it's

expensive so I have to admit I kind of

appreciate that she's willing to to

basically lose hundreds of millions of

dollars

to use her free speech and have her free

opinion of how things should be but it's

going to be expensive

Taylor all right Elon Musk saw that and

responded humorously on X uh he said

remember she signed it off as a single

cat

lady and so Elon Musk posts this he goes

fine Taylor you win I will give you a

child and guard your cats with my life

okay that's really funny I will give you

a

child coming from Elon Musk who's got 11

11 children for various baby bamas I

will I will give you a child and guard

your cats with my

life see th this is why I doubt that

Elon Musk is on the

Spectrum now he says he is I mean he's

referred to himself as having Aspergers

but you can't write that joke if you're

on the

spectrum that that is not the kind of

joke you normally this is a

sophisticated joke I mean it's actually

really well written

so I don't know what is up with you

musk's brain but it's not operating like

your brain and my brain and that's good

for him I

guess um you know I do wonder if JD

Vance's single cat ladies you know

one-time reference he made that of

course they making a big deal about does

that feel like his deplorables

moment meaning that single cat ladies

represent a pretty large percentage of

the total

voters and people who love single cat

ladies I suppose so it kind of feels

like he you know he uh insulted a group

of Americans who are not going to forget

it very much like the deplorables

comment

um and I don't think that he meant it as

anything but a colorful way to talk but

so did

Hillary it's just that sometimes these

stains don't wash out and I think he's

got one that doesn't wash out but it

only affects that one uh that one

demographic and they were probably all

going to be for comml Harris

anyway so I saw yesterday this uh

compilation of uh yet yet again the

media that backs the Democrats using the

same language in every newscast it was

it was a after Joe Biden did the State

of the Union the most recent one and all

the newscasters were saying it was fiery

that's fiery fiery fiery and you could

look at it go oh well they obviously had

some kind of memo that they're all

they're all supposed to say fiery

because when you see them like back to

back they're just all using the same

word it's fiery he was fiery today

it's pretty obvious that you know was

sort of a talking points memo when they

all got it or that's what I used to

think and when I say used to think I

mean

yesterday I have modified my belief on

this topic because the moment or even

before the the uh debate was over I saw

the first person on the right say hey

that was really three against

one and I thought that oh yeah that's a

that's sort of a clever way to frame it

because it you know you're saying that

the moderators were for one side 3 to

one and I saw somebody else say it and

then somebody else and somebody else and

somebody else and it was exactly like

that that fiery

thing it looked like but I'm pretty sure

this is not the case it looked like

every Republican got a memo instantly

saying uh you should say it's a 3:1 just

say it's 3:1 now that didn't

happen I I feel confident that there was

no memo and nobody told anybody to say

that but everybody said it everybody

said it it'll be in the comments you

watch the comments and the PE the people

who didn't hear me say this as they're

coming in the first thing they'll say is

it was three to one so sometimes it

looks like it is a memo I'm sure that

was true with the dark thing during the

2016 thing everybody say dark his speech

was dark that was definitely a

memo but apparently this can happen

spontaneously as well and I'd love to

know who was the first one to say it did

it did it come from one of the you know

Fox News hosts who said it first because

it must have been something that a lot

of people

saw was it one of the Trump campaign

people who said it so if anybody knows

who was the first person to say that it

would be interesting because that that

just swept through everything and I'm so

bored with it I don't want to ever hear

it again because it just it already

feels like swimming is the best exercise

and it just feels like the most basic

thing you could say about the debate so

I'm like I'm so bored with that but we

will talk about

it um all right so the debate

happened um I'll be a little bit all

over the place on this because I took so

many notes but I I saw a screen that I

thought was a joke so it showed uh

Daniel Dale the fact checker for CNN and

next to them it showed a

graphic that I I knew was fake when I

saw it because it said that uh Trump had

33

lies and Harris had

one and I thought okay that's that's a

pretty good meme but I'm surprised that

they didn't go to zero why would you do

one you know if you're going to make a

meme joke and then I saw it again and I

thought oh wait a minute the second

person who's sending it

around isn't indicating it's a

joke and then I had to go look at the

source and play the video for

myself it was

real did any how many of you watched the

debate can you even believe that

somebody called the CNN

fjer scored at 33

to1 what

we're going to talk about all the uh the

lies I mean I won't have time to talk

about all of them because the thing was

it was just full of lies and hoaxes but

how in the world do they have the balls

to say it was 33 to1 I'm going to

mention all the things that were obvious

lies and that Daniel Dale didn't catch

any of them except whatever the one was

that obviously had no obviously whatever

the one was was one that doesn't matter

in other words he must have randomly

picked out of the many many lies that

Hara said he must have picked the one

that wouldn't hurt her so that he could

say he found

one I mean he needs to quit like

immediately if it was his own idea that

there was only one problem on Harris's

side just one he needs to quit or be

fired he's an embarrassment to CNN at

this point I I was kind of I've been

curious about him because I wondered if

does CNN tell him what to say or or are

these actually his

opinions yeah

so um at this point it's obvious I think

it's obvious I don't want to be a mind

reader but how many of you would agree

with the following statement Daniel Dale

knew he was lying a

lot with his analysis would you agree

with that I don't know any other way to

explain it because the lies were so

obvious and so numerous and and the

people watching it all knew and he

couldn't catch more than one that's just

there's no way that's an honest attempt

at doing your job that is completely

dishonest and I wonder was he forced to

do it at the at the risk of losing his

job was there somebody who said look

here's the deal I only want you to say

there was

one well but there were 15

yeah I know but I want you to say there

was one or we'll fire you do you think

that happened because if it didn't

happen he's a piece of I

mean that is one worthless piece

of person unless he was forced and

I'm going to give him the benefit of a

doubt that he was

coerced to be that bad CU if he did that

naturally if that was organic no it

couldn't have been because I've I've

seen him work

I mean you you can tell he's biased but

he's not a

idiot right so he was presenting himself

as really just a idiot and

there's no way that's real or organic

because he isn't he he's clearly

unethical and corrupt that seems obvious

but he's not

dumb

anyway so that wasn't a joke uh Bill

Mitchell had a list of the things Harris

said wrong I had maybe a quibble with a

few of them so so I removed them but

I'll tell you the ones that are obvious

so Harris used the fine people hoax and

was not fact checked by the

hosts keep in mind that the hosts uh

fact checked Trump in real time I saw

two different numbers one said four

times and one said seven um four for

sure but none Harris was never fact

jacked in real time and we'll talk about

what they fact checked on Trump but she

she put down the fine people hoax didn't

get caught she said project 2025 was

Trump's that's not uh she said he wanted

to be a dictator that's fake wanted to

terminate the Constitution nope nothing

like that she said that Trump told uh

Putin that he could quote do whatever

the hell he wants and go into Ukraine

nothing like that ever happened she

blamed the Afghanistan withdrawal on

Trump that's ridiculous she used the

bloodbath hoax that was Trump talking

about economics and they made it sound

like it was going to be a violent

Insurrection um they talk she said that

Trump would have an abortion monitor

that doesn't make sense and he's never

suggested anything like that um she said

that uh uh back in the 70s was it uh

that Trump refused to rent to Black

Families my understanding of that is

that the Trump um company plad guilty to

discriminating in um

renting but that that was never tied to

Trump so so there was an acknowledgement

by the staff that they did but there was

no no smoking gun that said Trump told

them to do

it use your own judgment on that one uh

Central P five she Hara said that Trump

called for executing the Central Park 5

that was not true he called for

execution in general and did not mention

the Central Park 5 and uh also

at when Trump defended himself he said

that that was when they had been found

guilty later I think that changed but oh

no the police I think it was based on

the police saying they were guilty so

that was Trump's

defense there was the suckers and losers

hoax uh Trump never called military

veteran suckers and losers there was a

then Harris had a new one she referred

to Trump's uh tariffs as a national

sales tax and never explained that what

she meant was in effect that a tariff

would look like a sales tax to

Americans so that was just a lie because

she didn't explain what the context was

um she uh distorted unemployment Fe

figures she uh she what else did she

do it's quite a long list

here um she said that there are no

troops in combat zones under the Biden

Administration she said that five police

officers died on January 6 so she

alleged the way she said it was like

they died during the event that was not

the

case um

and let's see there was another I think

there was one point where she had three

three hoaxes and one

answer one in one answer she used the

fine people hoax the stand back and

standby thing as if it was a malicious

she was talking about he was talking

about but he wasn't and then the

bloodbath

one

so here's the thing it seems clear to me

two things things number one KL Harris

knew in advance that she would not be

fact jacked don't you think that's true

do you think she would have brought out

the fine people

hoax if she thought ABC was going to

fact check her I don't think so somehow

she knew she wouldn't be fact jacked and

he

would

right now I saw uh Mike cernovich and

some other people suggest that she had

gotten the questions and

Advance because when the initial

question came out she had great answers

but when uh there was any kind of

followup she struggled a little bit now

I'm not sure you could tell from that

alone you know because confirmation bias

would slip in there a little bit and you

you'd imagine you're seeing it even if

it's not there but here's why I think

she saw the

questions um and many of you knew this

that the head of the

Network the CEO who owns Disney that

owns ABC is your best friend for 30

years do you think they're somebody's

best friend of 30 years I don't know if

they're best friends but they're good

friends for 30 years uh do you think

that her good friend of 30 years

wouldn't tell her the

questions see in the world I live in

it's just guaranteed if your best friend

has access to the questions and she

would cuz she could just say hey before

you ask the questions you need to run

them by

management and then she just sees them

and then she goes to Kell Harris and she

goes hey here's what the questions

are now if you're telling me that her

friend didn't do that for her knowing

that there was a zero chance of getting

caught because all she had to do is say

look you know I wrote this on a piece of

paper take this to kamla make sure

nobody else sees it it would be the

easiest thing in the world not to get

caught so if it has a high

benefit and you have easy access to it

you're literally the

boss H High benefit no chance of getting

caught easy

access under those conditions cheating

happens almost every

time so you don't have

to I don't think you have to dissect the

difference between the prepared answers

and the less prepared answers there's

some something to that there there was

one example I think was she somehow knew

that there were

9,000 or however many she knew she knew

the number of Polish people living in

Pennsylvania for some reason which

sounds like something you wouldn't even

know there was no reason to know it

unless you had prepared for the

question so there were some signals that

she prepared for the question but I'm

telling you that the

setup largely guarantees she saw the

questions

largely guarantees I mean in the world I

live in if your friend has a big benefit

for you easy access to it and almost no

way to get caught and even if you got

caught it would be blown off I mean

people would say ah well yeah it happens

every time in that in that

condition all right

um let's

see

so here's some of the fact checks

uh well we'll talk about that separately

let me give you the

overall um Harris won the handshake how

many of you noticed

that so Trump does this thing where he

establishes dominance with his handshake

like he'll grab your hand and pull you

in and you know like control you with

two hands and it's a strategy it it kind

of establishes your Alpha dominance

because you controlled the handshake it

wasn't an equal thing

and if you noticed when they both walked

on stage that Harris closed the distance

and shook hands with him behind his own

Podium so Trump instead of meeting her

halfway she walked to him and then she

introduced herself hi I'm KL

Harris now that was funny because I

think he probably knew who she was

without the introduction but they had

never met so if you've never met it's

sort of normal to say your name it's

kind of weird when famous people say

their name I've I've had the same

experience you know I'll be in an event

where people went there to see me

and I'll still introduce myself you know

like we came here to see you we kind of

know your name but it's just an

automatic habit anyway so I think that

she uh immediately and strategically I

don't think any of that was an accident

she took the

handshake

initiative number two I thought they

both look great did anybody have that

impression so compliments to hair and

makeup compliments to whoever dressed

them compliments to ever whoever did the

lighting but I thought both of them

looked great like as good as they've

ever looked Trump looked great I mean he

looked young and energetic his hair was

on point makeup was good uh Harris

looked better than I've ever seen her

recently um so real good job on the

support staff making both of them look

good um the the bottom line is that

Harris beat expectations because she was

well prepared probably knew the

questions and she simply did her her

standard answers

now Trump said he had his best ever

debate and he's not wrong about

that I I actually felt that if it had

been a normal debate against a normal

person you know under a fair

circumstances I could imagine that you

would rank him the winner but it wasn't

that you know the mo moderators were

clearly on one side we'll talk about

that and he missed a lot of layups

meaning that she gave him so many

openings to end the race he didn't take

any of them

why I don't know I don't know was he not

skilled enough was he not prepared I

mean when the fine people hoax came up

you know he dismissed it as a debunk

hoax do you know what else he could have

done he could have turned to the

moderators and say are we are you guys

debunking hoaxes today or you just going

to leave this one for

me just imagine that

if he just turned to the hosts and said

are are you jumping in with any uh

factchecking here or do you want me to

do this one then he should have said if

it was up to him so first of all he

should have called out the host for not

being equal fact cheing if not then then

at least when it became an obvious

pattern he should have he should have

hit it so that that was a missed

opportunity he should have said if

you're watching at home for some of you

this will be the first time you ever

heard that the fine people hoax was a

hoax you're not going to believe me when

I tell you it's a hoax but do this go to

Snopes and just look up the find people

hoax you'll find out that Biden ran his

entire campaign on something that you

could have told was fake simply by

listening to the whole video instead of

the edited one just think about who I'm

running against they ran that entire

hoax and the media and you see that your

ABC HOA are sitting here

silently they let that go it's the most

dangerous hoax in American history and

they just sat there and let and let you

say that right in front of the public

I'm going to end that tonight every one

of you you've got a computer at home go

to Snopes it's a left leaning fact

Checker so you can know that if they

fact check this one it wasn't because

you know they were being biased and he

could have ended the entire the entire

election would be over she just handed

him the kill shot and he didn't take it

and I felt like he that happened several

times he he is terrible at explaining

his way and of

hoaxes I don't know why because he's so

good at everything else it it's kind of

a mystery to

me but it's obvious now that the um

campaign knows that he's not that she's

not going to get fact jacked by the

media and they know that they can

overload him with hoaxes and it will

just make him frustrated and keep him

off point so she offloaded she just she

just went heavy with the

hoaxes and it worked it

worked so once again yet another signal

that her advisers are really really good

I hate to say it but they're really good

I keep telling you it's not an accident

that that things look different for kind

of Suddenly It's Your advisers they're

really good and if they told her look

just keep dumping those hoaxes on them

because you just bury them in hoaxes

nobody's going to fact check it anyway

that was the right

advice I mean if you're unethical in a

weasel but it's politics so it's

normal um some people said Scott you

idiot it wasn't a tie I kind of called

it a tie meaning that it didn't changed

many votes but

um people said to me but Scott she said

the thing that was wrong and then uh

Trump correctly um corrected it so he

gets the point and then there were lots

of points he made so if he add it all up

he won that's not how anything works it

wasn't a debate in in the sense that

there was any back and forth of of of

any consequence

and it doesn't matter who won on points

it matters how you felt that's it so I

didn't even score it on points it's not

like a boxing match where you could win

within a knockout no none of those

points made any difference to anybody at

all so if she avoided a question some

people said ah but the Public's going to

notice that she avoided the very first

question or people better off or worse

off she didn't even answer to which I

say nobody's going to care that she a qu

that she avoided a question it's the

most ordinary thing that politicians do

and I will go further and say that when

I first got into the public um sphere

when Dilbert took off uh my publisher

decided that I needed some media

training here's the entire media

training if you don't like the question

that they ask answer the question you

feel like answering the one that you

want to answer that's good for you

that's

and then run out the

clock because if somebody's asking you

questions it's usually on video they

usually have a time limit so if you

don't like their question just ignore it

and answer some adjacent question that's

the one you wish they had asked and she

did so if you're saying to me but Scott

she's showing her weakness by avoiding a

question nope that's not what she showed

she showed she's well

trained avoiding that first question was

exactly the way she was trained that is

Media training it's exactly what it

looks like so was she prepared yeah yeah

she was

prepared um some say her you know her

smugness will be a turnoff others say I

saw a fisher king note this on X that uh

her her facial expressions where she was

sort of sort of mocking Trump for his

various points as you know looking like

what's wrong with you oh oh are are you

being crazy

now you know so she really worked the

facial stuff and to me it was very

off-putting but was I going to vote her

no didn't matter what I thought what do

the single women and the people in her

base think about all the faces she was

making a trump probably loved it cuz

they were feeling the same feeling that

her face was exhibiting and it probably

worked so you can't judge it by what you

think of it you have to judge the debate

by what the people she's talking to

likely responded to and I think they

probably responded to her face if they

liked her uh the there were no

great memorable lines that change

anything but there were a couple of

funny ones uh when Harris interrupted

Trump he he did the uh I'm talking now

basically a call back to her doing that

in the

debate and it worked so he took away

from her the ability to do that to him

so he was prepared for that and he and

he handled it by doing it first now if

he had prepared to do it first you know

if she ever interrupted me he would do

it first you know give her that line and

then joke about it that would be good

preparing that would have been smart if

he wasn't prepar prepared for it and he

did it

spontaneously it was even

smarter so that was just a good play

whether he was uh expecting it or not

um and then she had a good line saying

that Trump was fired by 81 million

people I mean that's a good one for her

base a yeah you're the guy who fires

people well you got fired by 81 million

people it's a pretty good line

politically it kind of stick in your

mind a little bit probably will get used

again she did bait Trump and oh my god

when I saw it happening I said don't go

in the Trum when she said that Trump's

uh rally crowds were bored and would

leave early as soon as she said that I

said don't take the bait don't don't and

he took the

bait and I could feel my heart just

sink because it put her in charge she

she was

basically directing the terms of the

conversation and he was letting her

because he can't handle the apparently

he just can't handle that kind of

specific attack on his ego I guess so

that was

really the the baiting of the Lesser

important things to get him to defend

them that was just

brilliant that was brilliant and

worked um she didn't cackle very much so

her anti- cackle efforts have been

successful um I would say of trump

remember you know he said it was his

best debate ever and I'm actually

agreeing even while I'm criticizing him

because I think her

debate I hate to say it but it's one of

the best you're ever going to see

because she was so well prepared and I

think this has more to do with her

advice

than it does with her honestly I don't

think it give her all the credit you

have to say she her advisers were just

right on point I don't think on her own

she would have come up with that rally

crowd thing but somebody who really

knows the psychology of things that you

know if you stick that in there you're

going to take him right off his game she

did and it

did in my

opinion um so here's how I put it if I

put it in basketball terms I would say

that Trump uh made every two-point jump

shot so if he had an open jump shot he

made it cleanly so he did everything

that's sort of the basics you know you

want to hit hit all your points Etc he

missed all of his

layups so like you know debunking the

fine people hoax and ending the the

entire campaign that was a

layup it wasn't hard to end the entire

campaign you just had to do it he didn't

do it so he missed several layups and I

don't even think he I don't think he

even attempted a three-point shot so he

didn't get any kill shots like uh you

know only Rosie odonnell I mean the only

Rosie odonnell remark was you know for

the ages you didn't have any one of

those so nothing special but also

nothing that's a big mistake you know

falling for these little baiting

things you didn't spend a lot of time on

it so it wasn't the biggest mistake in

the world but yeah nothing

special

um let's see what else I would say that

the viewing public is not influenced by

how many lies either of them told or how

many hoaxes that's why kamla can just

throw in the hoaxes one after another I

don't think anybody cares that anybody

avoided a

question

um and uh here's a take that I thought

was kind of brilliant I saw a few people

have this opinion that it might only

matter what the pennsylvanians thought

about

it and Pennsylvania cares about

fracking so if Trump if Trump made a

dent in the Pennsylvania vote just by

the fracking conversation and nothing

else he won the

election she may have won the debate

but if he did only that one thing made

Pennsylvania little bit just a little

bit more prot

Trump that's the whole

game so we do have this weird situation

where I think she won the

debate he may have won the

election which would be

fascinating and that would be compounded

on top of her not picking Shapiro as her

vice president so you can almost see the

after Story forming if Trump

wins it's going to be the fracking and

it's going to be you know not picking

Shapiro as her

VP so we'll

see um the most annoying thing that she

did uh is possibly my

fault I have to take some responsibility

for this I I don't know for sure so I

might be aggressively connecting dots

that shouldn't be

connected have I told you the story

about helping Al Gore and Bill Clinton

during their campaign against Bob Dole

in which I did give some advice to the

campaign and my advice was that Bob Dole

kept saying he was going to take the

country back to the greatest Generation

you know better ethical moral patriotic

spiritual um ways and I said just say

he's taking you to the past and you're

taking them to the Future and that's the

end of the

race and so they did and that was the

end of the race if you remember Clinton

slogan turned into uh we're a bridge to

the Future and he's a bridge to the past

as soon as you can successfully frame

your opponent as taking you to the Past

nobody cares how good the past was

it's the past there's just nobody

interested in the past they're

interested in what are you going to do

tomorrow but if you can get away with

that framing that is really really

powerful and so it makes me wonder if

any of the people advising

Harris remember that from the Clinton

days because if they did that was my

fault so I might have had some indirect

role in that it might they wouldn't know

it by the way they wouldn't be aware

that I had any role in it they might

have just seen the VP and the President

Clinton say it and say that that sounds

good they would not necessarily know

that came from me all

right the Harris campaign very cleverly

again freaking brilliant said right

after the campaign that uh uh that they

won it and they're looking forward to

having another

debate now Trump tried to frame that as

well why would they need another debate

if they won this

one but they're framing it as we beat

you so badly we'd love to do it

again so I don't know if they'll do it

again I don't think it's a good

idea I think if Trump took a second bite

the odds of him correcting his you know

the holes that he had in the first one

were pretty high because the the his

holes are really obvious you know he

just didn't go well against the h say he

could practice that and nail it next

time I think that the Harris campaign

will just find a reason to say no so

Trump will say hey let's do it on Fox

News they'll say no we don't like Fox

News and then that'll be it but they'll

be able to say they wanted a

debate and then still not have one so

they win twice once by saying they want

it and another time but not having

it every time I see Harris's campaign

work it's always

good I hate to say it I really really

hate it but they're very smart and they

you know consistently if it were one

thing I'd be like well I got lucky you

know blind squirrel finds n but it's

kind of every day now and when you look

at the fact that they hid her from the

public for so long and then when she

finally comes out and everybody's

expecting the worst she does her best

performance that borers on genius

campaign

work maybe it's just genius it's

brilliant it's evil it's unethical it's

immoral but it's

brilliant all

right

um I think this happens every debate

every debate there's a rumor that the

Democrat was wearing an

earpiece so there's a there's some

allegations that her uh Harris's ear

earrings were a special kind of earring

that does exist apparently that doubles

as a like an earplug not earplug

a what do you call it a headphone except

is sits outside your ear but my

understanding is although it's outside

the ear like like an earring

that's got a little speaker thing that's

pointing toward your ear so only you can

hear it now there's a picture of that

device that has that quality that it's a

like a headphone thing yeah and I'm

seeing Oh here here it

goes and here's a

picture here's a picture of

it you see that so that that's a picture

that is exactly the um that earbud

headphone

thing so if this is a real picture she

was definitely wearing an

earbud is it a real picture no of course

not no that's not a real picture if you

see the real picture it's she's not

wearing those that's a photosho

picture uh very

photoshopped now I was lucky enough that

I saw the real one like half a minute

before I saw the photoshopped one so you

know you could see what happened yeah it

was a Photoshop I guarantee it it was a

Photoshop all

right uh but we're there's always that

hoax every time there's one of these

debates there's always the somebody was

giving her the answer

hoax um let's talk about the fake fact

checking by the hosts David

mure uh so he challenged uh Trump said

uh he said you said you lost by a

whisker but all the other times you said

you had been cheated so did you change

your opinion and believe that you did

really lose and Trump said that uh you

know he was being sarcastic when he said

he lost by a

whisker now that's what I

thought I I said it actually in advance

I said that when he said I lost by a

whisker that he was sort of you know

joking and the implication was that they

cheated so he said lost by a whisker

just sort of being jokingly sarcastic

about it now that's exactly how I

interpreted it but I'm also aware that

if if you if you're coming from a

different perspective you wouldn't

necessarily interpret it that way so

David mure decides to fact check him by

saying you know we checked all the video

and it it didn't sound sarcastic to

me to which I said wait a minute one

person's opinion of what somebody's

thinking is not a fact Jack

what kind of fact check is that my

opinion of what you were thinking when

the person just told you what they were

thinking now you don't fact check

somebody's internal thoughts in a debate

for

president you're going to let the fine

people hoax just go by but you're going

to fact check him on what you believe he

was secretly

thinking oh my

God that that that's just so you know on

the nose

corrupt that's it's

incredible um let me give you a little

uh I don't know why I need to tell you

this but somehow it seems relevant I

once uh spent the whole day with David

mure So a number of years ago he was

still with ABC and he came out to where

I lived and hung out with me all day to

do a story on my voice because you know

I had that voice problem for a while and

ABC did a nice special on you know this

condition and helped me helped me

promote that there's a cure for it now

so uh ABC News and David Muer

specifically did a very

useful valuable thing for a number of

people because to the to the extent that

people found out there was a cure for it

they probably went out and got it some

of them anyway so he's you know uh if I

can judge him from that one

experience very nice guy enjoy enjoyed

talking to him totally and uh and he did

a valuable thing for people and it

really mattered I mean it really really

mattered if they got fixed so there's

that now there's one other interesting

thing that happened that day so I was

married to my first wife then and uh we

went to dinner to continue the

conversation and as we're driving to

dinner my my ex-wife first ex-wife was

telling a story about somebody she knows

and it was a a longish story about

somebody he doesn't know and just

somebody that the two of us know we get

to this restaurant and we get

seated and we're sitting right next to

the guy we've been talking about in the

car for the last hour in the

restaurant and and we had go you know

David you know that guy we were just

talking about for an hour that's him

right there and he was like what yeah

you know the guy we just talked about

for an hour we just sat down next to him

he's right there we go hey how you

doing that really

happened to this day I can't it's one of

the freakiest things that's ever

happened to me so when I see David mure

I I think about that weird simulation

experience anyway that's enough about me

um let's talk about I know I'm going to

get hammered for this but I'm going to

do it anyway because I just have this

need so there's a question about uh

babies being born alive and then Trump's

claim that uh that the doctor can

basically kill them or let them die

after they're born

alive

now the

Democrats and uh also David mure I

believe fact checked that and said uh no

that doesn't happen there's there's no

example it just doesn't happen that's

just not

true

so uh I have a take on what's

true and it's real interesting because

it's almost like both sides are using

the same

language but they're somehow ignoring

part of it or something here's what I

believe to be

true that if there's an abortion and it

would normally if if the baby is old

enough to have some viability there's

probably some medical reason for the

mother not necessarily but there might

be but that when the baby is born the

examples given of where they were in

fact alive after they were aborted they

were not

viable meaning that they might only have

a few hours to have a heartbeat and they

there's nothing you could do now is that

how you understand it or do you

understand that some of those babies

could have a long healthy life if they

just put their effort into

it my understanding is that although in

the medical

community people can be wrong you know

you probably are aware that one of the

biggest causes of death are medical

mistakes you all know that did you know

that just in general forget about

abortion in general one of the biggest

ways that people die is that the

hospital the doctor made a mistake very

very common now if you assume that

medical help is still better than no

medical

help then although you can hate the fact

that medicine kills a lot of

people you can still say okay we're

still in favor of health

care if it's the same in this abortion

situation that there might actually be a

case where a baby was born alive and

they let it die that could have been

saved and could have had a you know a

full life of some kind then that might

actually be true but it wouldn't be

unusual if you look at the larger field

of medicine they make mistakes because

they're

humans

but it's hard for me to imagine a

situation and by the way if you're

thinking I'm going to be Pro or

anti-abortion I'm not I still think

women need to figure it out just tell me

what you decided I'm just describing it

so you can understand it better I

hope what I think happens is that you

probably have at least one medical

professional at least the doctor

probably nurses and some other people

involved if you know if it's a normal

procedure and you may have at least the

mother being involved in the decision

now you've got the hardest decision in

the freaking

world that you aborted but there's

something there with a heartbeat

whose job is it to figure out what to do

now it's it's yours you the mother you

the doctor and maybe a few other people

involved it's the hardest decision in

the world do

you um try your best and maybe all

you've done is taking something that

didn't need to suffer and giving it a

week more of

suffering just pure

suffering or do you say let me give it

some um whatever this is whatever you

want to call it you could call it a baby

or not but I'm going to give us some

painkillers but since I don't think it

can survive under any condition I'm

going to make sure the painkillers are

lethal nobody would check and by the way

is that unethical it's the way we handle

seniors when when a person is a 100

years old and near death and can't make

their own decisions anyway

the the doctor and the family member is

closest they decide do we give you a

basically lethal dose of painkiller and

hurry things up because there's nothing

there's nothing that can be gained

there's no upside now could they ever be

wrong yes they could be wrong and they

could end up basically killing somebody

who could have had a whole life just

like every other part of Medicine they

can be wrong but here's my

take if the if the mother and the doctor

in their best

judgment make a decision at that moment

I don't want anybody else in the world

involved because it's the hardest

decision in the world and they're the

closest to it even if they get it

wrong I still back them it's the hardest

decision in the world we should just

stay the out of that

because they're not going to be happy

about it yeah just just imagine your

mental state if you had to be in that

unusual situation where there's a

heartbeat after the

abortion if you're the

doctor how do you deal with

that I mean that that's got to be the

most disturbing thing you can even

imagine so I say under those situations

it's life and death

literally and if the if the mother and

the doctor and their best judgment have

decided that really easing the pain of

whatever this creature is is their best

play I think second guessing

them is

immoral just feels

immoral because of how difficult that

decision is and we don't I I'm going to

assume that people make mistakes it's

still immoral to second guess them I

think now this is not not an opinion on

abortion

because it's it's just such a special

case it's not really about abortion in

general so I think the truth is that U

neither side is describing it exactly

accurately and if they did they wouldn't

have a

difference if they if they explained it

accurately I think they'd be on the same

side

basically that's my take um and so

here's the easier way to understand that

I believe that when these um babies are

aborted yet they have a little bit of a

heartbeat or life left in them that the

doctor probably sees it as hospice and

the way you would treat hospice is not

the way you treat somebody

else look at the video oh somebody

saying that the photograph of her

wearing normal earrings is not equal to

the

video okay I'm not in this there's

nothing you can do to convince me she

was wearing a deer

piece there's nothing so you just give

up on that

one all

right then there was a question about uh

Trump went about the eating the animals

the Haitians or the immigrants eating

the animals and of course they got fact

checked in the way that the fake news

fact checks things how does the fake

news fact check uh something that's true

but they want to say it's not true true

they use the same technique they say we

asked somebody and they said they didn't

have any information about

it so David mure fact checks him by

saying you know we talk to the town and

the town says they don't have any

information about people eating

animals well did you talk to any of the

town's

people because apparently there are

quite a few reports doesn't mean it's

true I don't know if it's true but there

are reports

so uh and then Harris did the whole oh

oh you you think oh you're being so

ridiculous now you're saying they're

eating animals oh and she pulled it off

unfortunately she won that

round

um so

anyway I think everybody's going to

blame ABC for being bias they clearly

were um I don't think that's why Trump

did not

um did not win because I don't think he

won um I think Trump needed to do a

better job of dealing with the hoaxes

and that's the whole to me that's the

whole story he wasn't prepared for the

specific most obvious attack and if you

don't prepare for the specific most

obvious

attack what are you doing

so I hate to say it but one of them did

their homework better was prepared

better and it was

haris now it's not going to make me vote

for her because she's she's shown one

look it does however make me feel better

about one

thing then in 2018 when uh I was

predicting that Harris would be the

biggest problem for trump it was because

I'd seen her act this way you know when

she was doing some Senate hearings thing

she was like this which also suggests

perhaps yeah I'm seeing a video of her

not wearing earrings that are the that

kind

um

anyway so uh a couple of closing

things the Venezuelan gang that trenda

araga gang they took over a hotel in El

Paso turned it into a violent drug Den

according to the Gateway pundit

so took over a hotel I don't know how

many of the other stories about

Venezuelan gangs taking over buildings

are

true but it certainly has my attention

some of them might be exaggerations I

don't

know anyway if you didn't catch it on

the all-in Pod

event apparently ell Elon Musk said that

uh America would do great if they can

just get rid of all the regulations so

we can operate and he says uh quote I

think the reality is that if we get rid

of nonsense regulations and shift people

from the government to the private

sector we will have immense prosperity

and then he said I think we'll have a

golden age in this country and it'll be

fantastic so maybe the golden age is

still on but it's going to

require a trump now I saw uh the Kennedy

and shanan weighing in on the debate I

don't think either of them should be

happy about that debate because I don't

think he brought up the chronic illness

thing for

example um so I think they were a little

underserved by that

debate and uh just the news is reporting

that a bipartisan group of attorney

generals is urging that social media

have a warning label on it a health

warning label on social media now it's a

bipartisan group what do you think of

that I think it's pretty good I think

there should be warning labels on social

media but I think we should take it

further I think there should be warning

labels on the Nightly News on the

networks and it should

say this news is not intended to be

reality sometimes it's fiction if you

were to believe it as reality it could

cause mental illness such as as you

might think the world is going to burn

up from global warming so it's unhealthy

to watch these programs unless you

understand that it's

fiction now is that going too far no

it's not I mean it's not going to happen

but that would be completely honest and

appropriate to say that it's not

necessarily true what you see on the

news because if you're a kid how old

were you when you realize the news

wasn't true

probably not very young right I'll bet

in your

20s you thought the news was

real maybe for most of your

30s somewhere around the

40s you start noticing patterns and you

think wait a minute I'm not so sure this

news is even

real and then if you're me you know when

you get older you're more likely to have

been a subject of a news report if

you've ever seen yourself in a news

report or you're an expert on that

category then you know it's really fake

and that's when you're like oh what if

the rest of it is fake too and then you

find out it is at least the political

stuff pretty much all

fake so let's put those warning labels

on there people warning labels all right

that's all I've got for today um my

announcement for tomorrow is I don't

expect to have a show tomorrow I just

have some personal business to take care

of that I couldn't schedule any other

way so um you will miss me tomorrow live

anyway probably if I come on it'll be

for five minutes or something just to

say hi but uh don't worry it's nothing

important nothing nothing of consequence

I just have something scheduled tell you

about it

later um and that's all for today I'm

going to talk to the locals people

privately but thanks for joining on and

Rumble and YouTube I'll see you all

tomorrow no not tomorrow soon we'll see

you

soon bye for

now
