urself. But other people are like, oh, I'm going to cancel you, mofo. I'm going to get a little dopamine hit from canceling you. I don't want to be around anybody who gets a dopamine hit from canceling me. Did you see AOC's glee when Tucker Carlson parted with Fox News? Like watching her little video of how happy she was. I mean, she was genuinely happy. That's a dopamine hit. Don't be around any…

with good credit scores. Well, the Democrats are consistent in ignoring human motivation. So the story about people with higher credit having to pay extra to pay for people with bad credit is one of those stories. The story about Elizabeth Warren wants to pack the court as if the Republicans won't repack it when they take charge. All right, it's a ridiculous idea. Ridiculous, perfect idea. But each of these ridiculous ideas has the same problem. It ignores human motivation. If you ignore how humans are and how they normally are and how they normally act, you cannot build a system. And that's consistently what the Democrats do. They ignore human motivation.

All right. Using Midjourney for film production right now. Well, I'll bet you spend extra time and don't get any extra benefit from it.

Democrats announced their 2024 nominee. Okay, Biden I guess.

At Biden's current rate of decline, what do you expect by next year? Is he going to be even a little bit functional? And what do the Democrats do about Kamala? You know what would be interesting if Trump just ran against Kamala by just not mentioning Biden? By saying he's irrelevant. He could actually just say, all right, I'm running for president against Kamala Harris. And then people say, no, no, Biden is the top of the ticket. And then you just look at them and you go, right? Yeah, that's funny. You actually — he could just pretend Biden isn't running. Just imagine that. Imagine Trump running for president by simply acting or playing as though Biden is not in the race and just say Kamala Harris whenever he talks about their candidate. Just don't even act like he's part of the process. Say Joe Biden is babbling with his dementia, making some claims about January 6 and the good people hoax. He can't tell a hoax from reality. He's so far out of it. But looks like I'm really running against Kamala Harris. So if you think Kamala Harris can do a better job than me, vote Democrat.

So Susan Rice resigned, which is making people speculate that she could be a vice presidential running mate. What do you think of that? That does sound like — does that sound likely? Wouldn't Susan Rice be the Obama handler? Like the one th

at Obama would use to handle Biden. So to me that doesn't sound crazy. If you were going to predict what Democrats want to happen, I think what they want to happen is Susan Rice to replace Kamala. But ideally they'd like to replace Biden, I guess. All right. Oh, someone says that Susan Rice was not left enough so she got pushed down for not being left enough. Well, not being left enough might be…
