, Robin. Yeah, that's the point of it. The point of it is to humiliate and discredit the people that he thinks should be humiliated and should be discredited. And I agree. So it got some good publicity there from Robin. Well, True the Vote, the voting integrity organization, has announced that they somehow have figured out how to monitor over 25 million ineligible names on voter rolls across the…

Tens of millions of people just said if you can't do it we're going to drag him across the finish line. And you can feel that now. This is about Trump of course but the energy that he's been storing for years in his base just got unleashed in the weirdest way with this, you know, all the memes about the cats and the dogs. But they're all just wonderful.
And I'm going to publicly, I did this on X yesterday, but I'm going to change my scoring of the debate. Because the debate, when you score it as it happens and immediately after, you're using short-term memory. Short-term memory is what did this person say, how did you answer this question, did you avoid this question, did you say a lie, was it, did we fact check you. That's all short-term memory. Short-term memory doesn't move anything. It is valid to score a debate based on your short-term memory. So if you were doing let's say a college debate you wouldn't wait two weeks. You would score it right then using your short-term memory. But if there's something I learned from my friend and memory expert Carmen Simon, Dr. Carmen Simon in her books, is that your long-term memory is the one you want to influence. The long-term memory is a signal that you actually changed something. If you see something that makes you feel a certain way in the short term and you don't even remember it two weeks later, nothing happened. It was like it didn't happen.
So I ask you now, the debate's been over for a little while, not very long. What do you remember about it? You remember that Trump, who doesn't even own a dog or a cat, tried to defend your dog and your cat who you love more than people in some cases. Now the memes that pair him with the cute little animals could not be better persuasion. Because it takes the biggest complaint about him that he's a selfish, mean, cares-about-only-himself dictator bastard. Well if you see enough pictures of him saving your pets, not his own, he doesn't have any. And by the way the memes aren't real. It's just pictures of him with two lovable pet

s under each arm running from Haitian gangs and stuff. You cannot be unaffected by that. And it's not a surprise that it's becoming a huge meme. The memes probably are breaking through on TikTok and some other places to get to Democrats. Association is one of the major rules of persuasion. If you associate with, I'm seeing now pictures going by, the memes of him with dogs and cats and they're all…
