t at it like a maniac. Do you know how he defended himself? He defended himself like an innocent person. Now remember he's smart enough to know how to play it psychologically and leave the right impression but he defended himself like an innocent person. And the claims that he made in his defense sounded so weak that they actually sounded real. You know what I mean? Like if you made up a defense it might sound a little stronger but he had that yeah she did give me a massage but I kept my underpants on. And you're saying that's not like the strongest defense but that's actually why it sounded real to me. It sounded real to me because who would say that? That's like the better defense would be we didn't have a massage, right? If you're just gonna lie maybe you'd lie differently. Now none of that says he was innocent so let me be clear. I don't know. I have no idea who did anything. But I'll tell you Dershowitz is the person who fights for your ability to be innocent until proven guilty. That's who he is. He fights for your ability to be innocent until proven guilty. So I returned the favor. I returned the favor. Again has nothing to do with any knowledge I would have about who did or did not do anything. How would I know? But in our system, in our system I'm going to favor the system over the individual results because you got to keep the system strong. And this was one of those innocent until proven guilty things that I was kind of a maniac about honestly. Like I didn't know which way it would go but I'm a total maniac about the guy who helps keep your ability to be innocent until proven guilty. That's who he is and he's very consistent about that. Always has been. So I respect that and I return the favor which has nothing to do with any other thing he may or may not have done. It's just about the system. So I hope this is the right outcome. I hope. But it's another reminder that everything you think is true no matter how sure you are that is true you don't really know. Don't really know.

I gave a warning last night that I thought was going to be important but maybe it isn't which is the same warning I gave at 2020 which is everything you hear about maybe there's some impropriety in the election that 95 percent of it at least at least 95 percent of it would be total. I'm still at that number. Yeah because we've heard some things like oh what about this what about that. I think it's all so far which is not to say there's no cheating. I would never say that. There's just no way to know. But what you hear the things that go surfaced are 95. So if you hear something that sounds really really credible about some election shenanigans it might be true but that shouldn't be your assumption. You should start with the assumption very unlikely but be open to the possibility. Be open to the possibility. Just don't believe in any Krakens like I did. Don't be a kraken believer. Be a kraken denier until it's proven. All right but it looks like there isn't so far. I'm not seeing a lot of claims of fraud. Am I looking in the wrong places? Is there anybody on television who's claiming fraud? Has Trump weighed in and said the election was rigged? Because Trump would have already said something, wouldn't he? Because they're going to ask him. Trump's going to be asked. So somebody, Kari Lake is saying something is suspicious. I don't know what she's saying but here's what I'll bet without even knowing what she's saying. I'll bet what she's saying is you know we need to be careful and take a look at this. I'll bet she's not saying it's definitely rigged because she would be way too smart to say that, right? Confirm that she's way too smart to say the election is rigged. She is definitely smart enough to say we need to take a look at why things didn't go as planned and that's important. You know the election was kind of botched, right? Yeah. So if she says the election was botched that's right. If she says she got cheated on the victory that would be too far with what the information we have.

All right. So here are all the different things you're going to hear from the pundits who got everything wrong up to this point. They're going to say the good candidates won. They're going to say spending was the difference. Somebody say cheating I suppose. Some might say the rule changes. Some might say the GOP had no solutions. Did you notice that the GOP didn't have solutions? Well it turns out they did. They had this whole commitment to America thing. Today let me tell you what I remember from reading the commitment to America and now I'm done. Those are all the things I remember from my reading of the commitment to America. Do you know when I learned that there's a commitment to America document? I learned that after the election. All I do is watch the news. That's all I do is watch the news all day. I didn't know the Republicans had a written plan. Did you? Yeah first time hearing of it. Now I feel like I have this vague memory that Rick Scott had something but it was different from what the Republicans had as sort of a platformy thing but I just thought it was something generic platformy thing. I didn't think it was anything serious. Fox talks about it all the time do they? I haven't heard any details. What were the details? Refund police I don't know.

So my well here's one of my blind spots I had until right before the election. I sort of tuned into this on election day but not soon enough. That the Republicans were not giving a positive story. They were sort of assuming that you knew that they did a better job and because you could see that things were bad under the Democrats but I guess people were not making the leap from things are bad to Republicans have a better idea. I think they do have a better idea but they didn't make the argument. Yeah and Rick Scott made them afraid that Social Security was on the line. Right now whether it was or not it was enough to get them afraid of it.

So what is the biggest persuasion? Fear. Who had the better fear persuasion? The Democrats said was it really about Trump? How much of the election was really about getting rid of all Trump supporters to make sure there's less chance that Trump would get elected? Probably some of it. I think people's minds are framed by Trump so that you can't not consider him. It's impossible not to consider it.

How about the MAGA MAGA extremist claim made by Biden? Did it work? The MAGA MAGA they're all extremists and Marjorie Taylor Greene and you know those are the ones you have to watch out for. I thought it wouldn't because it wasn't working on me. Like when I hear blah blah extremists I go blah blah blah I don't even care. But remember the Democrats, the demographic that is more Democrat is younger women and as we discussed in case you missed it science says very clearly that women are easier to scare. They're easier to frighten. So do you think that women were afraid of losing democracy and the MAGA MAGA extremists and they'd lose their bodily autonomy and stuff? Probably yes. And the low T males. Again this is not a judgment statement. I'm not saying there's something wrong with you because you have lower testosterone. It's just different. And but those differences do translate into mental states and actions.

How about apparently the Democrats are getting credit for their crazy sounding strategy of boosting the worst candidates on the Republican side so that the primaries were won by the worst extremists and then they lost their elections. Apparently that worked. Is that what happened? Did that happen with Oz? Was Oz backed by the secret dark Democrat money? Yeah. Marjorie Taylor Greene won as did probably a lot of the people who AOC and the squad all won by big numbers too. The people who were in safe districts all won. That has just more to do with the district.

How about do you think the GOP stayed home because they thought they were going to win? What do you think of the theory that Republi
