N.A. Well my friends, we made it to Election Day. It is not going to be much longer until we know which of two starkly different paths does this country take. I want to do a final review of polling and projections. I've held off. I got the message in the last couple of weeks.
You don't want to hear about any polling unless it's good for Kamala Harris. I'm sort of simplifying and exaggerating, but we have backed off of the polling and betting markets significantly for weeks now, but we are going to do a final review, see where we are, see Kamala Harris's final rally, see Donald Trump's final rally, and the final and last minute cases that have been made by the candidates as to why the American people should vote
for them. Let's start with presidential where the 538 projection is landing is essentially a coin flip. 538 has locked and frozen. Is that your final answer? Yes, lock it in with a 50, essentially a 50 50 race, a 538 final projection. There is a 50% chance that Kamala Harris wins a 49% chance that Trump wins and a slightly less than 1% chance that we end with a 269 to 269 tie in the electoral college. Make of that what you will in the
real clear politics battleground average. This is a real clear politics doesn't have like a more overall kind of forecast, but it'll come down to the swing states. And on that basis, the real clear politics battleground state polling averages have Kamala Harris winning Wisconsin and Virginia and Trump winning the other battleground states. Arizona
to Trump, Nevada to Trump, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia to Trump. Now what I can tell you is that from these states here, if the outcomes are as real clear politics has it, except Harris gets Pennsylvania, then Harris gets the 270 she needs and she becomes president. Nate Silver's final silver bulletin. He locked it at midnight 30 this morning and says happy election day. We ran our simulation model for the final time out of 80,000
simulations, Kamala Harris won 50.015% of them. She did not win 49.985. This is as close to a coin flip as you can get. Uh, and Nate silver says I'm not quite sure what to say about this, but we'll have a newsletter newsletter. So essentially another 50 50 coin flip. As you know, Alan Lickman's qualitative analysis, which looks at 13 keys says that Kamala Harris will win. We had Alan Lickman on the show explaining that in detail and you can
check out that interview. And then we have some prediction markets, each of which is worth more or less depending on who you ask, the predicted market has ended up with Trump just slightly ahead of Kamala Harris. You might say how do these end up adding up to more than 100? Um, the, the answer essentially doesn't matter, but these are not percentages.
Uh, is the thing to understand. But Trump with a very, very slightly really close to a coin flip, polymarket, which is the Peter Teal associated prediction market has it for Trump by roughly 62 to 38. Uh, this is of course, um, uh, the, the big criticism of this is, this is totally being pushed by rich Trump supporters dumping money in for Trump. And it doesn't really reflect the likely outcomes, but this has it at roughly 62 to 38 for
Trump. And then we have Cal she, Cal she is another betting market. This one just days ago almost converged at 50 50, but since has spread towards Trump once again, landing very close to the polymarket, um, betting market 59% for Trump, 41% for Kamala Harris, that all being said, even this, uh, prediction market does expect Kamala Harris to win the popular vote and, uh, expect Trump to win the electoral college. So pick what you want.
This is going to be close electorally unless it's not and let me explain that one of the growing narratives about all of the polling is that there is hurting going on, hurting being the idea that you have a bunch of polls clustered around a coin flip and then that you come in as a pollster, you do a poll and you go, oh my goodness, it's looking like a Kamala blowout. I don't want to be the outlier here. I don't want to be really wrong.
I'd rather be as wrong as everybody else. So then you get a poll that says, I think Kamala is going to crush and you say, well, let me adjust some of the cross tabs and the methodology and the sampling and the waiting so that my poll ends up looking just like all the others. And then the next poll comes in and does the same thing. So there is a possibility. If that theory is convincing to you, there is a possibility that this is not close. If it's
not close, it's tough to imagine Trump blowing out Kamala. It's easier to imagine Kamala Harris blowing out Trump. So that's the kind of caveat. Now as far as the Senate, my opinion is there's not that much to talk about as far as the Senate goes. It seems clear. The Senate is going to be going to Republicans. The 538 forecast has it as Republicans win 92 percent of simulations and take control of the Senate, whereas Democrats win only 8 percent
of simulations. If the Republicans are essentially guaranteed to get 50 seats, if they get 50 and the presidency, they have control. There are also many scenarios in which Republicans get 51 seats or more. And in those, it won't even matter who wins the White House. I expect Republicans to have control of the Senate. And finally, what about the House of Representatives? It's basically a coin flip. The 538 average has it 51 49 for Democrats. It really will
come down to turnout and it will probably mirror to some degree. I mean, let me put it this way. If the cells are poll is right that Kamala's leading Iowa, you probably will see Democrats controlling the House. That's, that's the most likely outcome. On the other hand, if it doesn't all go as a pro Kamala, as summer hoping and suggesting, then it's totally conceivable. That Republicans take control of the House. So those are the final numbers.
There. Let's now get to Kamala Harris's final really case for herself on the campaign trail. Kamala Harris clarified something yesterday on the campaign trail that in my opinion needed no clarification. And it's that unlike Trump, she is not going to seek revenge against Trump voters. Trump has said I might seek revenge against Nikki Haley primary voters. I don't even want them to vote for me. Trump has said he will seek revenge against media outlets.
He doesn't like the coverage of him from he will seek revenge against Kamala voters. He is going to weaponize the judiciary against his political enemies. Kamala Harris said yesterday. She's not going to do that. She will give everybody a seat at the table because she will be the president for everybody. It is my pledge to you to listen to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make to listen to experts and to listen to people who disagree with me
because I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. And you know, by the way, listen, we are fighting for a democracy right now. And we love our democracy and democracy can be a big complicated sometime. But that's okay. We are fighting for a democracy with a very different message from that of grievance and revenge from Donald Trump. Kamala Harris spending a lot of time in Pennsylvania yesterday. We're going to get to her big
Philadelphia speech, which ended near midnight. But throughout the day, Kamala Harris telling Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's rather Philadelphia's later telling Pennsylvania's we have the momentum. It might come down to this state. It really might. So I want to tell this is it. Just one more day. One more day. One more day left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime and momentum is on our side. Can you feel it? We have momentum, right?
Because our campaign has tapped into the ambitions and the. All right. And I apologize for the low audio level there. Apparently, Antifa running the microphone. But the point here is Kamala Harris in five different stops in Pennsylvania, saying we are fighting for something. And I will be the president for everyone, whereas Trump is fighting against things. Most of them imaginary. And he is actually going to target his political opponents. Here is one more from Kamala Harris from Pittsburgh.
And instead of stewing over an enemy's list, I will spend every day working on my to-do list. Full of priorities to improve your life. Because ours is not a fight against something. It is a fight for something. It is a fight for the future. And it is a fight for freedom. Like the fundamental freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do.
Ultimately, Kamala Harris making the case here that what she is laying out is a vision of doing good things for everybody, whereas Trump's vision is one of revenge grievance and only being the president for those who support him. Importantly in her final speech of the campaign in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris restating the inclusive nature of her campaign.
I want to focus in on that a little bit minutes before midnight Eastern last night, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris made her final case to voters as Donald Trump could
barely speak and can barely think in Michigan. Kamala Harris was in the state most likely to be the deciding state in tonight's presidential election, Pennsylvania and in Philadelphia near the stroke of midnight Kamala Harris delivering her final plea that hers would be an inclusive presidency and it would be a presidency held together by positive things rather than attacks and grievance. Let's take a listen to just these last couple of minutes.
Our campaign has brought together people from all corners of this nation and from all walks of life united by our love for our country and our faith in a brighter, stronger and more hopeful future that we will build together. And tonight, then we finish as we started with optimism, with energy, with joy, knowing, knowing that we the people have the power to shape our future and that we can confront any challenge we face when we do it together.
Generations of Americans before us led the fight for freedom and now the baton is in our hands and to everyone who continues to pour so much of yourselves into this campaign as an extension of your love for our country. Kamala Harris making the case that part of what we are voting for today is not about political party but it's about do we support and defend the constitution of the United States or don't we? I see the promise of America and everyone who is here in all of you. We are the promise
of America. We are the promise of America. I see it's promise in the fathers and the mothers and the grandparents across our nation who work so hard every day for our children's future. I see it in the women who refuse to accept a future without reproductive freedom and the men who support them. I see it in people of all ages who have knocked on doors, made calls, set texts and who will spend tomorrow driving their fellow Americans to the polls.
And what a day it already seems to be if you've been following the crowds and desire to vote that have been taking place. And then finally last night Kamala Harris with her last ask just nine minutes before midnight Eastern. How will it all turn out? Well, we don't know. So tonight I ask you one last time. Are you ready to make your voices heard? Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise
of America? And are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win. God bless you and God bless you and God save some of us. So Kamala Harris closing out what was certainly an unusual campaign in terms of how short it was, of course, becoming the presumptive and eventually official nominee only after Joe Biden decided that he would not pursue reelection in the middle of summer, ending on a positive note with a campaign that was
by no means perfect. Should she have done Rogan? Well, it's being second guest endlessly after it seems as though at least some people believe doing Rogan was great for Trump. Could it have been a better campaign? It always could be. But when you compare the last two weeks of Kamala Harris's campaign to the confusion and disorientation of Trump in these final days, there really is no comparison. So this is how Kamala Harris closed out the
campaign. After the break, we're going to look at what Trump made his final message. It's not good. It's not good. It's election day. I'm so glad you're here. We'll know the results soon. But for now, we'll continue going over these critical final 24 hours. Our sponsor, Cook Unity is the number one meal delivery service in the United States. And

Now before we even get to the substance of Trump's final rallies, I must tell you that the theme yesterday was really low turnout for Trump. Where is everyone? Where are the people? Multiple rallies with no low turnout in North Carolina in Pennsylvania. We have
a picture from Reading Pennsylvania or reading. It's Reading Massachusetts. I don't know if they say Reading or Reading in Pennsylvania, regardless, the picture from Reading Pennsylvania shows even the floor seats, not totally full with reports of campaign staff hurting people into sections to make them look full, according to Mother Jones, David Korn. And this was the theme, surprisingly light turnout, CNN reporting from Reading Pennsylvania saying not a lot
of people at these rallies. The turnout today so far for this event is quite thin. There is a lot of empty seats left in this arena. And Donald Trump is now supposed to speak in the next hour here. So I'm not saying that's a sign about what we can expect in Pennsylvania by any stretch or in this county, but Donald Trump has built his brand around his ability to turn out large crowds. And so far in the stops today in North Carolina and here in
Reading, it is noticeably thin here. All right. So it is pronounced Reading apparently. And yes, when you stake your value and the success of your campaign on crowd size and there's empty floor seats, it certainly doesn't look good. One other report, this one from MSNBC, Von Hilliard also that these are some of these smallest crowds Trump has had.
You here. We're in North Carolina. This is going to be his first stop. He's making two stops in Pennsylvania, Reading and then Pittsburgh before finishing the night as he did in 2016 and 2020 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And I want to show you guys real fast what this crowd looks like. This Donald Trump is scheduled to take the stage at 10 a.m. and our Tony Butler is going to show you what this crowd currently looks like. Wow. We're looking
at about a capacity, you know, about 70% full here. And for nine years, I'm going to have Tony Pant of the right. For nine years, we have talked about the enthusiasm and the masses that have come out for Trump's rallies time and again, even have his politically lowest points, including in 2022. But interestingly, and I can't tell you exactly why, but in this final week, we have seen far smaller crowds. We were in Greensboro, North Carolina. We're
just a few thousand people making Georgia just a few thousand people. Yeah. Now let me tell you one thing about this. One of the reactions has been the reason that the crowds were light yesterday is because so many people voted early. And after you vote early, you're not interested in going to rallies anymore. There are two reasons to doubt that message. Number one, who says if you already voted, you're not interested in going to a rally.
I mean, the rally is not necessarily directly connected to the vote. You might vote early and then say, I'm going to go see the rally for the guy or gal. I just voted for. And secondly, Kamala Harris did not seem to be experiencing the same crowd size problem. So if it is the case that once people vote, they're not interested in rallies anymore. Why would that only apply to Trump supporters and not Kamala Harris supporters? Regardless, where I want to focus
is not the crowd size, which was weak for Trump. But the content and substance of the rallies and it was really, really bad. Donald Trump with a major malfunction at the critical moment of the campaign, the final night of the presidential campaign, Trump closing out his rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan at one point, saying that he's in Detroit, even though he was in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Forget about that. We're now used to Trump not knowing where he is or who he's talking to or who he's running against or who the president is or who the president was. We're used to that. And he still might win. Trump, mostly incoherent, listen to the energy lacking and the crowd behind him looks despondent.
It's a big, a very big story already. So we're going to tell Mexico, you're killing tremendous numbers of our people by allowing China to send the offentinel through your system and through your country. The entire night was like this and we will take out crazy Kamala, who's Marxist and socialist, the United States, the entire speech focused on getting vengeance against his political enemies, which is exactly what he will try to do. And it's
the opposite of Harris's message. Harris's message is I'll be the president for everybody and I'll listen to people, even if they didn't vote for me. Trump's message is I'm going to get revenge on my political enemies. Trump, on Nancy Pelosi, alluding to she's a bitch, although he said I'm not going to say it. I want to say it, but I won't say it. She's a crooked person. She's a bad person. Evil. She's an evil sick, crazy.
It's charged with a beat, but I won't say it. I want to say it. And as usual, the audio at Trump's rallies absolutely terroristic. Trump not only going after Nancy Pelosi, also talking about the stupid generals. Nobody supports and respects the troops more than Trump. What about these stupid terrible generals? By the way, this was at almost one AM, one AM. It's done in a matter of weeks when our stupid generals are terrible generals that, you
know, the guys up top like Millie, like Kelly, real loose as Kelly was dumb as a rock. I'll never do that again. I let people, I say, give me a letter of resignation. Yes. I like it. It's done in a matter of question. The question, of course, is will the hateful rhetoric reign supreme? Will the voters say I want the guy with the hateful rhetoric to be president? I hope that the answer is no. Donald Trump as part of his final pitch to voters, reminding
us he doesn't even see migrants as people. 100%. 100% of the jobs that were created went to migrants, not to people. I'll say 100% of the jobs that were created went to migrants, not to people. They aren't people in Donald Trump's mind. And finally, continuing the politics of personal attacks. This was now earlier in the night in Pittsburgh. Donald Trump just viciously attacking Adam Schiff and fantasizing about the decapitation of Adam Schiff.
They tried to put him in jail. Adam Schiff conceived of the story. Thank you. Adam Schiff, he's one of the truly unattractive people. I call him watermelon head. He's got the life. Warder melon. This head and the smallest nap. He's got a neck that's about four inches around. He's got a watermelon on top of it. But he's not a stupid person, but he's an evil kind of person. And he's likely going to be a senator, unfortunately. But I mean,
this scum is going to be a senator. So their movement carries on. But our movement carries on too. As long as our's carries on. No, he's got the smallest neck I've ever seen. Do you think he can play football for the Pittsburgh Steelers? I don't think so. One shot and there goes the whole thing with all the power. One little shot. Yeah. Just one shot and decapitated would be Adam Schiff. So a final day of deranged and delusional rallies
will these work as a final case to the American people will find out. Let's go to what I'm calling a reverse moment of Zen. I'm going to play something very special for you. And I want to take this seriously, but there's it's also a little tongue in cheek. Okay. I am going to play for you the final potentially the final 100 seconds of the atrocity that has been Donald Trump is a political figure. Now I'm not denying that no matter what happens
tonight, he'll claim he won and he'll come out at 2 a.m. and say we won or what? Okay. As far as the bulk of Trump as a campaigning elected official, I'm going to play for you. What I hope are the final 100 seconds of Trump's political life. This took place after the stroke of 2 a.m. last night in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is the last disgusting rally closing from Trump. It's hopefully the last abortive performance of YMCA. Let's
all watch it together and hope if you pray, I'll take the prayer right. Baruch Hashem. This is the final moment of Trump's political career as a campaigning candidate. This was it. Let's all hope together that it is over and then we will go to a break. We are one people, one family and one glorious nation under God. We will never give in. We will never give up. We will never back down and we will never ever surrender. Together
we will fight, fight, fight and we will win, win, win. November 5th today will be the most important day in the history of our country. Together we will make America powerful again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America healthy again. Bobby Kennedy Jr. We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. I love you. I love you all.
God bless you. God bless you, Michigan. God bless the United States of America. Thank you everybody. Thank you. Great honor. Thank you. The Weirdly Cuts. Continued audio issues. And hopefully the last time we will ever have to endure the double jerk dance. Think about that. We'll take a quick break and the show continues on this very consequential election day.

The link is in the podcast notes on the eve of today's election Elon Musk appeared on the Joe Rogan program and generating quite a bit of discussion. First and foremost Joe Rogan formally endorsed Donald Trump yesterday.
I want to start with that. He went from Bernie bro to Trump supporter. I guess a Joe Rogan posting to X about his interview with Elon Musk and adding the great and powerful Elon Musk. If it wasn't for him, we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump. You'll hear and I agree with him every step of the way for the record. Yes, it's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast now. So many wondering what happened to Rogan.
He used to be on the left. He still says he's on the left, but he's not going for Kamala. He's going for Trump. Is it because of the Texas environment in which he is now deeply involved where he's hanging out with the sorts of people who support, you know, Texas governor Greg Abbott and it's just kind of the group think of the area or is it personally motivated by some desire for a particular tax policy or listen, I don't know the answer,
but this is where we ended up with an endorsement of Donald Trump by Joe Rogan. Now it's a multi hour episode. We're too busy today to dig into a ton of it, but the 29 seconds that I've chosen for you of Elon Musk's appearance is this sort of freak out. If Trump doesn't win, everything will be over and terrible and just consider how hyperbolic this all sounds. If the dams won the selection, they will legalize enough illegals to turn the swing states
and everywhere will be like California. There will be no escape. That is so insane. This is the final. This is it. This is the last chance. Has anybody tried to push back? And I just want to like go out and vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Vote like your future depends on it because it does. This is the last chance, man. Okay. This is the last chance. Now I know that it's super popular to attack California in maga circles,
but when Elon says everywhere will be like California of Harris wins. That sounds pretty damn good. I know that much is made of oh, crime is sky high in California. It's not overall crime continues to decline. If you put 40 million people in a state, are you going to have crime? Yes, you're going to have crime. But the stories about the rampant increase in
crime are fabricated. California, if it were a country by itself, would be one of the wealthiest and most dynamic and productive countries, both in terms of intellectual property and thought leadership in the world. If every state were like California, we wouldn't be worried about China nipping at our heels. We wouldn't be worried about Russia wanting
to supplant the US as a global superpower. If we had 50 California is making up the United States, it would be a force to be reckoned with intellectually, economically and culturally. Is it expensive? Yes, it's expensive. Places are expensive often because of supply and demand. There's a reason you can get a near mansion in rural Texas for 200,000 bucks. It's because very few people want to live there. You might want to and that's fine, but
very few people want to live there. There's a reason a studio apartment in New York City or San Francisco cost what it costs, which is that tons of people want to live there. And so the it's expensive thing also isn't even really the attack that that I think they want it to be needless to say cost of living is a problem. These are all real problems. But if every state were like California, that's not an apocalyptic vision. That's a
imagine what we would be doing on a global scale if we had 50 California. So bottom line, Elon Musk is going full and on Trump. Joe Rogan is going full and on Trump. Either he wins or he doesn't and we'll find out soon. Looking through the final rallies of Donald Trump before today's election in Redding, Pennsylvania, a shiny orange dripping wet Trump fantasized about violence against women, suggesting that Kamala Harris enter a boxing
ring with Mike Tyson. Mike is a Mike's went through a lot, but he could fight. Let me tell you that I could fight, but can you imagine Mike? Oh, he says put Mike in the ring with Kamala. That would be interesting. That'd be nice. Once again, if you're a guy with Trump's background, I don't know that I would be waxing poetic about Kamala Harris fighting a boxer. Trump also pushing the great replacement conspiracy theory, which we know is a favorite
of right wing shooters. Open borders. We're going to close the borders. You know, you say, can you imagine you actually have to say that? What the hell? I mean, who the hell wants open borders? We're criminals from all over the world can just walk into our country. These are, these are crazy people or they hate our country or they think they're going to get these people to sign up and vote. I guess maybe that's it, but it's not defensible.
There you go. Just completely incoherent, ranting about great replacement. Trump at another point in the rally seemingly confused, just talking about French fries, French fries. And I have to say those French fries are really good when you get them right at it at fat away. Whatever the hell they cook with fat. I don't know if it's good for you, but they
are really good. What's really funny about Trump talking about French fries and the fat that they're cooked in is that it relates directly to more misinformation spread by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Who seems to be saying that there are no seed oils used in British McDonald's fries, which is not true. He said they use tallow, but they actually don't. There, there is no topic that they can just cleanly deal with and move on without either lies or distortions.
And then finally, Trump closing out his rally and redding Pennsylvania with some strange kind of growling. And we will make America great again. Thank you, everybody. Great again. All right. So there is Trump in redding, Pennsylvania, we're go. Oh, oh, boy. Oh my goodness. A light cover just fell. And now I am in such a bright room. Oh my goodness. Let's just keep going and I'm going to fix it after because we're just too
busy today to deal, but that is bright. My goodness. A zero energy Trump in rally, North Carolina, Raleigh, Raleigh, North Carolina talked about hitting Michelle Obama. If I were Trump, I wouldn't be talking about hitting women. The countries weren't accepting him back until I came. You know, with Barack Hussein Obama, I called him the great divider. He's the great divider. And he hit, oh, and Michelle hit me the other day. I was so nice to her. Out of respect, I was saying, she hit me the other
day. I was going to say to my people, am I allowed to hit her now? They said, take it as you say, sir. Take it. My geniuses, I'm telling you, they said, just take it. Oh, what do you mean? She said bad about me. I can't hit back. Sir, you're winning. Just relax. Is that good? Is that good about it? Now I know that Donald Trump is not literally saying he wants to punch Michelle Obama, but if you're Trump, if you have Trump's background, if you have Trump's background with women saying
that you've sexually assaulted them, I don't know that I'd be talking about. I was asking my advisors if I can hit Michelle Obama. Everything going wrong for Trump during this rally at one point while a video played for the crowd. Trump was audible on microphone telling someone offstage. Tell them no. Tell them no multiple times. And immediately my heart drops. And sinks to the bottom of my stomach. Tell them no. Tell them no. Trump is saying really
weird. Trump strangely obsessed with Nancy Pelosi. We saw earlier how Trump said he wanted to call Nancy Pelosi a bitch, but he was not going to do it. Trump at another point during this rally saying that she's crazy and that she committed a crime when she ripped up Donald Trump state of the Union speech. It is not a crime to do that. This was crazy, Nancy. She's such a bad one. She's already plotting a move to try and
pitch him. She's already, she's a bad sick woman. She's crazy as a bed bug. She is a crazy, she is a, yeah, she's a, remember what, remember she ripped up the paper behind me? You know, she could have gone to jail for that. You're not allowed to do that. She could not
have gone to jail for that and you are allowed to rip up papers. And by the way, imagine continuing to attack Nancy Pelosi apropos of nothing at multiple rallies when one of your fans broke into her house and hit her husband in the head with a hammer requiring surgery. And he keeps going after Nancy Pelosi for no reason whatsoever. The protector of women
he called himself two days ago. Finally, right side broadcasting hilariously panning as Trump walked off stage and it revealed just how many empty seats there were as you can see here. They zoom out and it looks busy. Uh oh, half of the area right behind Trump sitting completely empty. So very, very different final days on the campaign trail for Trump versus for Kamala Harris after the break. What was JD Vance up to on this final day of the campaign?

In a recent interview before the election, Trump said that he didn't think his supporters would cause problems after the election, but that the left would saying the left is the enemy from within and might be needed to be handled by the national guard. The Washington Times reported this interview with the headline Trump says no chaos from his supporters this
election day, which totally white washes and sane washes what Trump actually said. Luckily we have ground news, the app and website that provides context on every story like for this Trump interview. Ground news provides more context like Trump's defense secretary said we should believe Trump when he says he wants to use the military against the Americans, because that's what he wanted to do during the unrest in the summer of 2020.

We are closing out the final show before the 2024 presidential election with a few final notes. We'll hear from
JD Vance. We'll hear from Tucker Carlson. I did want to, you know, when it's glitch after glitch after glitch, what's one more glitch? But I did find it sort of funny or sad that Donald Trump in North Carolina yesterday referred to Senate candidate David McCormick, who's of course running in Pennsylvania. Trump confused about where he is, confused about what's going on just endlessly confused. And yet people say he's fine. Trump saying
you guys have David McCormick here in North Carolina. And of course, you don't. David McCormick is running in a completely different place. Here is a very feeble and confused Donald Trump. But we have great Republicans running and you have one of the best of all right here. David McCormick, you know, that was David is here. And someplace, you know, we just left of these great. The audience confused because David McCormick has nothing to do with North
Carolina. He's a candidate in Pennsylvania. And in fact, David McCormick, we are supposed to believe Trump thinks he's so great, except Trump endorsed Dr. Oz over David McCormick in the last Senate primary in Pennsylvania. It's all ridiculous. It's all whacked out. This just gets to the final message on cognition. There is no doubt that much of the country agrees Joe Biden is too old to be president again. And Joe Biden is not running to be
president again. It's Kamala Harris who cognitively could not be better. Linguistic analysis proves this debate performance proves this. Common sense proves this. On the other hand, you have a Donald Trump who has spent years talking about Joe Biden's cognition and Trump is really struggling. A linguistic analysis has shown significant decline for Trump. He often doesn't know where he is. He often doesn't know who he's talking to. He often doesn't know who
he's running against. He often doesn't know who the president is. He often doesn't know who he defeated in 2016. He often doesn't know who he ran against in 2020. It's not good. It's not good. And all of a sudden, the mega people want to take this completely off the table or they want to use projection and directly lie to us and tell us, oh, something's going on with Kamala Harris's cognitive ability. We all know exactly what is going on. I believe
that the American people and the voting public at large know it as well. We will know very soon, but glitching up to the last moment. JD Vance as the least popular running mate in modern American political history had a closing message last night for the campaign, which is Kamala Harris is trash. Kamala Harris is trash. I don't know how many people are going
to be attracted by this. Here's JP Mandel in Atlanta yesterday, but in two days, we're going to take out the trash and Washington DC and the trash's name is Kamala Harris. You know, there's a lot to be said about the difference between Harris and Trump. We could talk only about domestic policy. We could talk only about foreign policy. We could talk only about personality and sort of a constitutional predisposition to what the
role of the presidency requires. We could talk about how they relate to their families. We could talk about their intellect. We could talk about, you know, cognition on any of these bases, I would choose Harris over Trump. But where I really start to it grinds my gears is when I think about JD Vance, this condescending clown being vice president of the United States and maybe even really acting president in the sense that we all see Trump's
deterioration. And I don't know that Trump's really going to be the guy in charge after six or 12 months, the way he's going, meaning it'll be JD that really, really reinforces. We have to defeat these people. We just, we have to do it. It must be done. And let's hope that we are able to do it because the trash is Kamala very much unbecoming of this office that Trump and Vance are seeking very much so Tucker Carlson has gone full lunatic.
I played a clip for you yesterday of Tucker saying he was once mulled by a demon while he was sleeping, the demon cut up Tucker's leg. Well, I asked, is this a grift or is this mental illness? You were split 50, 50 on it. We now have another Tucker Carlson clip where Tucker is saying abortion may be causing hurricanes. This is supposed to be the great thinker of the right wing. There are people who say this guy is just, he's
such an intellectual, he's such a thinker. Here is Tucker saying the cause of hurricanes could be abortion. You're making the case that, you know, sometimes we need to have an abortion. Okay. If you're making the case that abortion is an affirmative good, you are evil, you're practicing child sacrifice. And that is exactly what they're doing is every culture before his house. But to see the treasury secretary that dwarf Janet Yellen get up and say, you know, you can
do your part to help the American economy by killing your child. That's no different than the cana nights actually. So if people who don't see that clearly, that's exactly what it is. Worshiping abortion, the killing of kids, not as something that like needs to happen, unfortunately, but as something that is good, this pro abortion, you know, by the way, I've still never met the pro abortion people in the way that Tucker describes, never
in my life. People, but I have to say I'm sure I'll be attacked for sayings, but I really believe it. People are like, Oh, well, we had under hurricane must be global warming. No, it's probably abortion actually just being honest. You can't do that. You can't kill children on purpose knowing that you're doing that in exchange for power, freedom or happiness or whatever you think you're getting in return. You can participate in human sacrifice.
Tucker Carlson says the real cause of hurricanes is probably abortion. Is it real? Has he made his final transformation into deluded lunatic or is this a grift? I'll remind you, not of what he said yesterday, but of this moment where during his live event tour, Tucker had Russell brand on with him. Russell brand has also found that finding religion is a really great grift and Tucker asked Russell to pray is, is this real or is it part of the
grift? Everyone's going to share your beliefs for my beliefs, but would you close in prayer? Oh, yeah. Wow. I call on the name of Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly Savior, Lord, a humbly in this great congregation in Phoenix, Arizona, with my host, Tucker Carlson, in deference to him, but in ultimate deference to you, our Lord and Savior, to whom we are all your younger
siblings and your children. I pray in your name that the fourth come in election be an opportunity for unity for America and for Americans, for forgiveness and for grace, but the dark and demonic force is that I think you get it. So Tucker does seem to be fully into this stuff. And finally, for everybody who wrote to me and said, Tucker, story about being mauled by a demon is fake. He knows its fake. He just mentioned it on that documentary.
Well here is Tucker Carlson telling the exact same story again. I'm leaning towards, he really believes this craft February 20th, 2023. I was attacked in my bed by a spiritual being in Claude and left bleeding and scarred. And do I understand what happened? No, of course, I don't. I don't really understand anything, but that did happen to me. I don't
care if people believe me or not, it did. And I think it was just a, just a momentary glimpse of something that's happening at all times, which is again, this war between forces that we can't see, but that has been ongoing and has been in fact described by every culture. By the way, if this is Tucker Carlson trying to cover up that he had an affair, you could probably come up with a much more believable story. If that's what this is, I have no evidence
of that. Since the beginning, every culture that we know about has described this battle and in fact, it's been the basis of every religion. It's certainly the basis of Christianity, which I think is true. By the way, factually speaking, Christianity is true. But even if you don't, I think you can acknowledge that we're the only culture that hasn't been
really absorbed in thinking and talking about this. Not since we dropped the atomic bomb in Nagasaki, the second one in August of 1945, and decided that we were gods and the god himself no longer existed. This then we have been a secular society and that's why we're now being destroyed in my view. I think it's real guys. I think he's completely lost his marbles and he seems utterly cuckoo for cocoa puffs. With every clip I see, I'm increasingly convinced, but I want
