to that idea that America is not racist and we should be proud of who we are as Americans. And generations are being taught to hate America and we need to renew our American pride and stop.

I'm sorry what was I doing? Oh I was reading something about Nikki Haley's political positioning. I'm bored to death by that. No I like it. I like it. The things that I just said I agree with and I like but I'm not really inspired by it. I mean it doesn't come close to Make America Great Again as provocative as that is and good and in both bad ways. It's just not, I don't know it's just a nothing.

Like what exactly is Nikki Haley going to be doing about any of that? Something a president complained about but presidents don't have any control over the school boards and the school boards decide what the schools teach and the teachers unions will say teachers unions decide what gets taught directly or indirectly. And then the children get brainwashed to feel bad about racism and themselves and everything else. What is Nikki Haley going to do about any of that? It's a state problem.

So she's running for president like she's running for governor. Like none of it. It's just like a little bit off. Am I wrong? And again I agree with her that America you know we should learn to think of ourselves as a non-racist country as best we can while we're still working on making it that. I mean I think it makes sense to be aspirationally non-racist but what is she going to do about it? What did anybody ever do about it? It's just not something that the president works on.

So if Nikki Haley can't even come up with a major theme that's something a president even works on, I mean yeah what's she gonna do about wars and inflation and borders and stuff like that? Those are interesting but the other stuff feels just like talk.

All right Rasmussen has a new poll that is frightening for two different reasons. I'll tell you what the poll says and then I'll tell you the two reasons it's frightening. One of them may be obvious. In the head-to-head matchup between Biden and Trump, Biden would win. Okay that's the first scary thing. And to be as objective as possible not because he's a Democrat. That's not why I'm saying that's bad. You know some would say that but that's not my point. My point is he's 100 years old. That's all. Yeah if you were a Republican I'd say the same thing. Too old.

But apparently he would win against Trump according to the Rasmussen poll. Now here's the second bad news. The second bad news is this might indicate there's something wrong with polling. And apparently there are challenges at the moment that are different than challenges in the past. You know in the old days you just called everybody's landline and you'd guess something that was semi-useful. But now young people don't answer landlines so you have to get them through some kind of other mechanism in which there's payment. So there's a payment involved and there's some thought that maybe the young people are just checking boxes to get a payment and maybe they're not giving the right actual opinions.

So there's some hypotheses within the polling community. There are some hypotheses that the polling has some kind of distortion in it that they're looking for as hard as they can. So I don't think you need to believe a poll at the moment on presidential stuff. But let's hope that that gets more credible as we go.

All right but they're so close. I mean it's a close thing. However the poll said that Trump would beat Kamala Harris if they ran against each other. You know do personalities matter anymore or is it really just the process itself? Like the Democrats vote for the Democrats. The Republicans vote for the Republicans. And whoever gets out more votes and games the system the best wins. It no longer feels like it's anything about the candidates.

Because when I play the game in my head where I change out the Republican candidates to say okay what if it's DeSantis? What if it's Mike Pompeo? And then I say to myself the same thing after I'm done. I don't think it matters. Do you? Do you think that Pompeo and DeSantis would have a different result? I feel like it would be identical. Trump is the only one that's like a wild card because people like really will be motivated. People will be motivated to vote for him, run against him, etc. But the others are not really motivating.

If you had a non-motivating Republican wouldn't the Democrats win? I don't know that but I don't think there are enough Republicans to just win straight up. If you had a generic Republican against a generic Democrat don't Democrats win every time? Am I wrong about that? Because they're just more of them right? And more of them in the places where it matters. Trump was losing in the polls in 2016. Well he was very close by elec
