voice for maximum persuasion. So that's on locals. Last night my house got vandalized. Yes, my house got vandalized. Now, I don't know who vandalizes a house that's bristling with video cameras, but it's probably going to turn out to be a bad play because I expect that ten minutes after I get off this call I'm going to have a license plate and an identification. Let me just caution anybody who wa…

ight, so the news is there are rumors coming out of Washington and the White House, and I would say these are probably just rumors, that Kamala Harris looks so unelectable that they're looking at getting rid of her. But they might do it with a promotion, which would be the most diabolical way to get rid of a vice president. What is the most diabolical way to get rid of a vice president if you have to pick one thing? If you're familiar with the Dilbert comic, yeah, you promote her. She might get promoted to the Supreme Court so they could get rid of her. Seriously.

Keep in mind that the Supreme Court is, in my opinion, the last credible institution, which doesn't mean I agree with them all the time, but I think a lot of people would have the same opinion. The Supreme Court is our last credible institution. Even if you don't like their decisions, you know at least they're credible. But if you put Kamala Harris on there for what would look like an obvious just-getting-rid-of-her reason, I'm not sure that makes the Supreme Court more credible. I think that would make it less credible.

I'm not saying because of her qualifications or because of her leaning left or any of that. It's just because if you think she was put there to get rid of her, you're just going to have a whole different idea about the Supreme Court. Oh, that's where you put the losers to get rid of them. I mean, that's not the case, but it would feel like that.

I'm going to say that the Supreme Court rumor is false. They may have talked about it, but I'm going to predict that does not happen. Anybody want to challenge that prediction? Kamala Harris will not be named to the Supreme Court. They might be talking about it, but I don't think they can pull the trigger because that would just be so ugh. Right? You wouldn't even know how to put words on that, would you? You would just hear that story and you'd go like, it can't even be described, it's so awful.

Anyway, here's some more weirdness. Jack Posobiec was noting that the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell case is James Comey's daughter. Now, have I

told you that one of the tells that we live in a simulation is character reuse? Not just code reuse, but specifically characters. Let me give you an example. This is from my real life. I think I could tell this story, and I can't tell this story well. Suffice to say a weird coincidence happened in my personal life that the same people keep popping up in all kinds of different contexts. So there's…
