candidate matter? Nope. Didn't matter at all. So everybody who says the quality of the candidate matters, they're right unless there's some other thing that matters more. Now, which makes it almost worthless, right?

Isn't the Yogi Berra famous saying good pitching beats good hitting and vice versa? Is that Yogi Berra or somebody else? But the thinking is that, and let me say that again, a good candidate can overcome almost any situation. You know that's what Trump did. He was a good candidate in the first election, right? But more money can overcome any candidate. So there's an amount of money that can overcome any candidate but there's also a quality of a candidate that could overcome almost any money. So when you see the pundits say well it's the candidate that matters, the little recording in your head should say unless it's a close race and Congress is up for grabs, unless there's a lot of money, you know blah blah blah. Yeah. And also depends who you're running against, right? Would Fetterman have won against a more traditional candidate than Oz? Didn't get Oprah's endorsement. Now do you think that Oprah makes a difference when she makes an endorsement? How much do endorsements normally matter? Sometimes they matter a little but I feel like her Oprah endorsement is like might be the only one that matters from a celebrity. Remember Oprah can sell books. Do you know who else can sell books by recommending them? Almost nobody. Almost nobody. If anybody else could sell books like she does they'd all be doing it because that would give you some power or you could get some benefits from the books that are sold etc. But Oprah has an unusual ability to move her own audience and her own audience is women and probably younger ones. I don't know if it's younger ones but might be.

See I think Oprah actually mattered. I literally don't care who won. I know you don't want to hear that. I don't care at all and I told you that in advance. You know why, right? I'm a one issue voter and nobody had a fentanyl plan that was good. You know some of them were tighten up the border but that's just basic stuff. That's something you need to do. It doesn't get anywhere close to stopping fentanyl. So if the Republicans don't have an anti-fentanyl plan and the Democrats don't, I don't give a which one of them won. Don't care at all. Honestly don't.

But I'd like to give a shout out to Twitter user Dodger Dave. Dodger Dave, I know he follows me on Twitter but I don't know if you're watching this. But Dodger Dave reported on Twitter today that he's been off of fentanyl for one year. One year today. So if anybody would like to congratulate him on Twitter please do. He's going to need all the help he can get. But this is a real accomplishment by the way. Yeah. When you're somebody like you know he overcame odds to run for Senate and you won the Senate you're like hey that's a strong person there. You know Kari Lake, there's a strong person. She's overcoming odds to maybe win. We don't know yet. But none of that comes close to Dodger Dave. Dodger Dave got off fentanyl. This is the strongest guy you know, right? Like I wouldn't want to be in a fight with Dodger Dave. I wouldn't want to be in a contest with Dodger Dave where whoever could take the most pain was going to win the contest. Dodger Dave's got the goods. All right so he made it a year. So keep going.

Trump made a joke and a third of the country either pretended they didn't get it or wanted to act like they don't or don't know what a joke is. So prior to the election Trump was asked if he would take credit for his candidates he endorsed winning. Yes he did. And he said, quote, with a smile so you have to understand he said this with a clear smile that says I'm joking. And he said well I think if they win, meaning his candidates, if they win I should get all the credit. If they lose I should not be blamed at all. And then later he confirmed the point that everybody acts that way. You know everybody acts that they take credit when they win and they take no responsibility when they lose. And he made the point that that's what everybody does, right? But when he first answered it about himself what did the Democrats say? Oh my God the ego on that man. The narcissism of him in that if he wins he takes credit but if he doesn't win he doesn't take credit. My God the ego. The narcissist. Everything we thought about him was right. To which I say he was mocking his own ego. That was the joke. The joke was he was making fun of himself that he would take credit for something that clearly might be a random occurrence. That was obviously making fun of his own narcissism and they couldn't tell the difference or they pretend they couldn't. But I saw a lot of comments where it really looked like they couldn't tell the difference. They actually thought that was narcissism.

I've argued with you before that he might be closer to the opposite because he puts his ego out there where it's just t
