. You're like I'll bet you couldn't find one person who would back that. Oh yeah in private. Oh yeah you should see what she says in private. And I said the same thing about myself when I got canceled. The first thing that happens when you get canceled, you all know this, they look through your entire history to find out all the supporting bad things you did that for some reason nobody noticed un…

Have you ever met anybody who had the opinion that you couldn't have a qualified black vice president? It's not even a thing. Literally you couldn't find one functioning brain that would have that opinion. Nobody.
But can you say that Kamala Harris is somewhat obviously not qualified? Yeah you could say that. It's pretty obvious to everybody. I'm sure the Democrats see it as well as we do. I mean the honest ones. So kudos to Vivek for being so direct. This fits perfectly in his policy preferences to get rid of all hiring preferences so it's right on target. And again he's just killing it. He's killing it.
Now the most dickish thing you can say in these situations I'm going to say it anyway because you know all the candidates are running for first place. Nobody's running to be a vice president, right? But it has to be said he would be perfect for Trump. He would be perfect. My microphone is plugged in so if you're hearing it low there's some problem on your end. The YouTube sound is actually better than the other sound.
All right so Trump did a little video about Biden basically. He's saying that Biden is sleepwalking us into World War III and it's all because of a country that gave the Bidens millions of dollars. Now I gotta say again that Trump is the best at simple framing. We've never seen this before. Like a lot of people are good and smart and good at framing. You know Vivek is great at it but this is just like otherworldly, right? It's just he gets right to like that feeling you feel. Like he skips all the intellectual stuff. It goes right at that thing you're feeling in your chest. This is exactly what I feel in my chest that we've got a president who's sleepwalking us into World War III for the benefit of a country that gave him millions of dollars through Burisma primarily. That's exactly what it feels like.
And so Trump is saying the exact thing you're thinking as you're thinking it. Damn he's just so good at that. Just take a moment to appreciate. And again you know I'm not going to be slobbering all over Trump's entire package so to speak. That was poorly worded. I'm going to try to call this as objectively as I can, right? So I'm going to say good things about anybody who's doing good things including Biden if he does some good things. But you can't beat Trump for simple framing.
All right there's a story. My favorite summer story so far is that Hunter Biden went to visit his lawyer and of course wherever he goes the paparazzi are there. And so his lawyer comes out on his balcony and smokes a bong and the photographers are getting a picture of the lawyer smoking a bong while Hunter's inside doing God knows what. Do you know what the funniest part of the story was? This is my favorite part of the story. The press said they didn't know what was in the bong.
Well nobody asked me to be an expert witness in this case but I volunteer. If you'd like you could interview me to see what my feelings are about what was in the bong. In fact I'll ask Dale to do just that. Dale could you interview me and ask me what's in that bong? Well we see it's a bong but we don't have any information whatsoever about the content of what he's smoking. It was a bong. And see no there's not really a second thing you smoke out of a bong. Not really. I mean maybe it's happened once but I don't think it was lettuce. Yeah I don't think he was looking through the ingredients in his kitchen. He was like paprika? I wonder. No I don't think that happened.
Would this be a story if he'd had a glass of wine on the balcony? If he'd been photographed with a glass of wine with dinner nobody would care. Is marijuana illegal in California where this alleged bonging happened? Totally legal. Totally legal. It's a nonsense. And just a personal note if I were Hunter Biden's lawyer I don't know how I would do it without doing bongs. I mean I think there's a way but it's not obvious to me. So yeah it's just personal.
So the boxes trial. The Mar-a-Lago boxes of secrets. Now you remember all the secrets that are in the boxes, right? Do I have to go over it again? All the secrets that they've told us are in the boxes. Oh wait nobody has told us there's anything in the boxes. No nothing at all. We don't have a single piece of information that there's even one thing in a box that anybody would care about. I'm not saying there isn't but isn't that interesting that nobody can even give us a for instance? How about just a for instance? Well we can't but I will tell you there was a detailed battle plan for Iran. Okay don't need to tell me the battle plan. That would be cool but just there's something like that in the box. Anything. Just anything. What's your worst one? You don't even have to tell me everything in the box. Just pick your worst thing. Nuclear secrets? Is it the nuclear secrets? I don't know but the timing is exact.
But generally speakin

g the Republicans would be done. So we would have a situation where Trump would be the Nazi but also possibly a convicted felon, potentially facing jail time if his appeal failed, right? So you assume if he got convicted there would be an appeal so that he would still become president. There's nothing that would stop him from being president, right? Even if he got convicted. If he were out on bail…
