y hypothesis. That people are drawn to the thing that they can conceive the most easily and you can conceive a story, one that looks like a story, more readily than you can conceive of something that's random. And that we're drawn toward the story to the point of making it happen. This is the part of the hypothesis that has the most question to it I would say. People are drawn to what they think a…

So there's going to be something I think interesting because that would be the best story. The best story would be that Durham not only found something but found something that just makes your whole head come off. And I feel like we might be heading that way only because it's the best story. We'll see.
Let's see what else we got here. I was talking yesterday about the strategy that Trump might want to look at. One strategy would be what apparently he's going to do which is try to get his nominee for the Supreme Court pushed through before election day. I did say that it would be interesting and maybe clever as a strategy to not do that. Imagine if he decided not to and just say, how about I'll wait, we'll wait, and then just use it as a means of getting your voters to show up. Now that would be risky but also it wouldn't be Trump, would it?
Do you think that if you had heard that Trump said, you know maybe you're right, you're right, maybe we'll just wait, wait till after the election, that sounds fair to me, if he ever said that you'd say to yourself, what happened to Trump? You think we elected the guy who doesn't know how to do anything but fight. We intentionally elected the guy who doesn't quit. We very specifically elected the guy who would be the pirate who if he needs to kill somebody to get something done he's going to kill somebody to get something done. Legally we hope, right?
So if Trump did not do exactly what Trump did, which is say, oh yeah we're going to try to get this through before the election, if he hadn't done that, who is he really? I mean who would he be? He wouldn't be the guy you elected. You'd be a different guy. So I think that politicians do have some responsibility for being the person they got elected and not baiting and switching.
So independent of whether it was a good strategy or a bad strategy to push it through versus waiting, you still want Trump to be Trump, don't you? Don't you still want him to be the fighter who never even probably never even considered holding off? You know it's hard to know but if I had to guess I'll bet there was never a time when Trump said yeah let's hold back. I just don't think he, I don't think his brain works that way. And that's exactly why he got elected. He got elected because he won't hold back. That he'll, you know, he sees some potential money on the table. We don't

know if this is money on the table because there's going to be a fight but if there might be money on the table you want your president to pick it up. That's what he got elected to do. He didn't get elected to leave money on the table. All right, nobody wanted that guy. So I would say that I respect and I appreciate this method. I don't know if it'll succeed and also because I don't know if it'll…
