the places now. The other place is in public opinion. Because our social media and our communications are so good now we've developed almost a shadow court where you can be charged. Like Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss is being charged of basically a crime against humanity. You know, even — what's the word when you're tried after you're dead? What's the fancy word for that? Put it in the comments so I can remember it.

And if he were alive he would be penalized right now. What is it that the judicial system has that this new system that just evolved, this shadow court of public opinion, what does it not have as a system? I'll tell you what it doesn't have.

Suppose you're accused of something horrible and let's say there's a big article about it in some major publication and you don't personally have a lot of Twitter followers, you don't personally write for a national magazine, and maybe if they even had you on they'd only give you one minute if you went on TV. So you can't really defend yourself. You are completely defenseless if you don't have your own platform.

Now somebody like Trump can just create his own platform. Everything he says gets attention. But the rest of you can't. How do you create your own platform and defend yourself against being accused, tried, convicted, and penalized — losing your job, losing your friends, losing your reputation? What the hell do you do?

Well I'll tell you one thing that's missing in the process: a defense lawyer. Where's the defense lawyer, right? Once you're accused it's sort of the end of the story because you don't have recourse. And so I've decided that in some cases — I can't do a lot of them — I'm going to be that defense lawyer. So I'm going to pick people who have been accused of heinous things and I don't know how many of these I can do, but I'm going to essentially act as the defense. I'll have them on as a guest and I'll give them a non-limited time to give me their side of the story. I'll push them as hard as I can, right? It's not my job to — I'm not going to try to redeem people, right? I'm not trying to fix them. I'm just going to give them a voice because right now there's no defense lawyer.

And part of the reason there can be no defense lawyer in the public realm is that being the defense lawyer would ruin you as well, right? Your life, your career, your job, all of it would be at risk if you were to publicly defend somebody who's accused of something terrible. So I'm gonna do it because, you know what, if I get accused of heinous things by defending or somebody will think I'm defending — rather I'm just giving them a voice — if I'm accused of all those things, everybody, all of you, I'm gonna do whatever I want and you're just gonna have to deal with it.

So I'm in a unique situation in which I'm hard to cancel. I am cancelable. I'm very cancelable. But I'm a little bit hard to cancel. And it creates sort of a Spider-Man problem. Do you know what the Spider-Man problem is? Spider-Man famously says in one of his movies, with great power comes great responsibility. Now it's not that I have great power, but I do have a, let's say, a sort of a special — I don't want to call myself special — but the place I occupy is special. Meaning that I can just get away with more stuff that you can get away with because I don't have the same penalty problem.

So I feel as if I have to do it. I feel like it's like this magnetic call that's saying, okay, you know, you can do this so you have to do it. You get that? Have you ever felt that? That you're the only one who can see you have to, right? It's like there's a fiery wreck on the highway and the car is on fire and everybody stops and they want to help but everybody's afraid except one person. Always in a pickup truck. You don't have to like this, but the one person who saves you usually arrives in a pickup truck. I don't know why. I'm not saying that this would hold in all cases. I'm just saying if somebody's going to save your damn life and you're in a lot of trouble, the person who's going to save your life probably will arrive in a pickup truck. I'm just saying. You can interpret that any way you want. It's just true. They're going to probably arrive in a pickup truck.

And one of those people is going to say, I will reach in that truck and pull that person out and I'll get third degree burns and stuff but I'll do that. And the reason they will do it is that they know they can. That's the only reason. A bunch of people show up and everybody's afraid to reach into the burning wreck and there's one person who says I'll do it. And they have to. They have to because they can. That's it. We're sort of built that way. You have to help if you can.

So I didn't pick this place but I'm going to be defending some people that maybe you wish I hadn't. Okay, so I'm going to be setting this up as we go. But we'll bring a voice to the people who are most, let's say, most controversial. And we'll see where that goes.

All right. Now I tried it out a little bit with — I talked to Nikki Klein. Most of you saw that interview. She was associated with the NXIVM, what people call a cult but they didn't call a cult. And I thought that that went well. That was well received. So I think I want to do more of that kind of thing.

All right. Here's the most fun hypothesis speculation I've seen all day. Christopher Hill tweeted this. He's a good follow. You should follow him on Twitter. Christopher Hill anyway. He tweeted a meme that shows a path for Trump to win the presidency but it's way more fun than just running in 2024. Are you ready? All right, follow this path and tell me which part could not happen. All right? Is this something he could easily do? Tell me what wouldn't work on the following.

Number one, Trump runs for the Senate in 2022 from Florida. Could he win? I don't even know who else would be running, right? But could — so here's the first part. Could Trump win the Senate if he ran in 2022? I feel yes. I feel yes, especially in Florida, right? So that part seems practical. I'm not saying he would do this. This is just for fun.

Next, if he had lots of coattails, because we saw that when Trump was supporting other candidates they won almost every time. So could Trump, based on let's say whatever bad job we think Biden does between now and then, and the Congress of course looks like a bunch of animals at this point, could he win enough, bring enough people with him with his coattails that the Republicans could take back Congress and the Senate? I mean Congress, do you think he could do that? He kind of could. I think he kind of could.

Now everything depends on how well Biden does between now and then. But imagine a world in which Biden continues to fail. The things that Biden does end up having to be the same thing Trump did or it doesn't work, right? So take immigration and kids in cages. Biden either has to end up doing the same thing Trump did or he has to fail. What are his other choices, right?

So every time Biden is in that situation where he either has to do what Trump did or fail, he's just going to look worse and worse as Trump will look better and better. So yeah, I think it is actually possible that Trump could — and again I don't think he'll do this, it's just fun to talk
