you're a functional alcoholic. You've seen that. Oh you've seen it. Yeah, they're the people who like to entertain. Do you know any people who like to entertain? Usually functional alcoholics who are covering their tracks. Now there are so many functional alcoholics I don't have a complaint about it frankly. As long as they're not driving it's okay with me. I mean it's their life so I'm not judgi…

Because isn't there a greater than zero chance that you'll be running the country in an emergency within an hour? Would you ever want Hillary Clinton in office knowing that she likes her wine? No matter how much she has, I don't want a semi-inebriated president sitting there.
That was one thing that I really think was underappreciated about Trump. You could wake Trump up at any part of the 24 hours and he would pop up and he'd still be Trump all day long. I don't think he's ever anything else. He's just always Trump 24 hours. Love him or hate him, he was ready to go. And sometimes that might be more important than your specific preferences.
Anyway, I think that was a great underrated element of Trump that he didn't drink. And by the way you're all noticing that the trend to stop drinking, at least on Twitter, looks huge. Are you all noticing that? The number of people who are bragging about no longer drinking — not alcoholics, some of them are but mostly just ordinary people who found out that alcohol is bad for you. I haven't had alcohol for years. So that's a really good trend. I hope you're not switching out to fentanyl. That would be bad.
All right. So here's tying this all together. Once it was suggested to me and then I got primed — once your brain gets primed it's all you can see — so confirmation bias started to kick in and I said to myself I think I'll look online and see if anybody has noted that Kamala Harris drinks too much in their opinion or any rumors about too much alcohol or anything like that. And I didn't see anything like that. So just to be clear I didn't see anybody speculating. I didn't see any reports of her drinking too much. The only thing that came up is that she belongs to a wine club.
Next topic. Rasmussen asked people about the age of the presidents and what age is too much. Well let's see how well you're doing this. They asked people how many people think 86 years old is too old to be president. Does anyone want to guess? I'll ask you it this way. How many people think it's okay to be 86 years old and be president? You're roughly what do you think? Yes you're good. How do you do this? Are you all mind readers? How do you all know the right answer without even being told? You're so close. It's 27 to 20. 27

of those asked said that yeah, 86 is not too old to be president. What are you talking about? 86 is just getting started. So one quarter of the respondents. If anybody is new to me — I think there's probably more new people here than usual — if you're new to my live streams I've noted that 25 percent of the public about will get every question wrong. Every poll question you can depend on 25 perce…
