ly be wrong about that? So I don't believe the poll because there's no way 10% of Republicans think he's doing a good job. There's no way. It couldn't possibly be true.

Anyway, if you break it down by age, you can find our stupidest citizens. Who are the dumbest citizens? Who are the dumbest voters? By age, by age, by age. Who are the dumbest voters? The young ones, right? Young voters are the dumbest because they know the least. The reason that they're the dumbest has nothing to do with the nature of their brains. It has everything to do with how many times they've been fooled. If you've been fooled never, you're going to be pretty trusting. If you've been fooled once, maybe you're paying attention a little bit more. If you've been fooled twice, you start to think there might be a pattern. When you're fooled three times, you say, my God, there's a pattern here. I'm going to have to watch out. It looks like everybody's lying to me all the time. When you're my age and you've watched everybody be fooled 25,000 times, I don't have to wonder what's corrupt. There's no ambiguity at all. I'm not surprised when somebody's lying to me. I'm not fooled by all the experts on one side.

You know, the classic way you fool people, if you're young you think that all the experts on one side mean something. It doesn't. It doesn't. It's just a trick for young people and stupid people. Anybody who's been around for a while has seen all the experts be wrong over and over and over again. It's like the most common thing. And whenever there's a political element to anything, the experts are useless because they're just taking a political side. So if you're young, how would you know that? Now which one of the textbooks teaches you in college that everything's — I didn't take a course in that. I've got a couple of college degrees. Nobody ever taught me that. Never came up. Never once came up that everything you're taught in the real world and that the political process is all lying to you and everything's fake. Nobody ever mentioned that. I had to learn that the hard way by just living.

So here's how that plays out in the real world. Respondents from 18 to 34 gave Biden the highest marks. Are you surprised? So the dumbest people gave him the highest marks, exactly as you would predict, right? Because you'd have to really not be paying attention or not understand how anything works to have this opinion. Now I would respect them if they said Biden did a bad job but I also don't like Trump. That would be reasonable. I could debate it or something. But at least that would be a crazy opinion.

Respondents 35 to 55, they were a little less approving but pretty approving, 45 compared to 48. But those over 55 years old gave Biden the lowest approval, 42%. So the people who have paid attention for the longest gave him the lowest grades.

Have I ever told you that pollsters need to start asking people their IQ? Because we ask them their age, their gender, their ethnicity, their political party. Which one of those is useful? Well, I suppose it's all useful for whatever little political point you're trying to make. But I want to know what the smart people think. What do the smart people think? What if it's different? What if the smart people in any group are really different than the dumb people in the group? Why do we average the people who aren't even paying attention with the people who do it for a living? Like what's the average of that? Are you going to take Glenn Greenwald, who basically knows everything that you know plus a lot of stuff under the hood that you'd never know at all but he knows it, and then average him with somebody who watches CNN and say, well, what's the average of that? That's not a thing. That's no use at all. Tell me what 10 Glenn Greenwalds think. Tell me that. Tell me what the people who can beat David Sacks on an IQ test think about Ukraine. I don't care about the people who can't beat him in an IQ test. If you can beat David Sacks in an IQ test, I'd like to hear your opinion on Ukraine. If not, he's paying attention, right? He's smarter than almost all of you, including me.

Now that doesn't, by the way, mean that smart people can't be fooled. Doesn't mean that smart people are not susceptible, blah blah blah. But wouldn't you like to know what the people who actually know the facts are thinking? And then the second thing you'd have to do is IQ wouldn't be enough. You'd have to also ask what sources they use. So if you said I got a really smart person here and they're very well informed because they watch MSNBC all day long and then they read the New York Times, so got it covered. No, I don't want that person's opinion at all. That's a person you should ignore completely. But if you said here's somebody with a very high IQ and they're scanning all the news sources left and right and a few you haven't even heard of, well I'd like to listen to that a little bit. That I'll listen to.

So polling is completely ridiculous if you leave out intelligence and what they know. But it is useful to know how people would vote, so as a political tool. All right, I'd like it to be useful for me as a voter. Like I would like to use the opinion of smart people who are also well informed to at least nudge me in one direction or the other, even if I reject it. That would be useful to me.

Well, I would like to stop anybody who ever thinks that it's a good point when they're talking about Ukraine or Israel or any place else to make an argument based on who used to own it. Who used to own it back in 19 blah blah blah or 2,000 years ago. It used to be this, used to be that. I don't care. Nobody cares who used to own it. All that matters in the real world is who's on it now and can they defend it. Because if you're on it now and you can't defend it, you don't really own it for long. Somebody's going to take it. So does it matter who, what was the nature of the people in some random year in the past in that place? It does not matter. It does not matter.

Now here again I tell you that I'm being completely biased but transparently so. I think it's a terrible argument that it used to be owned by all the Jews. That's a terrible argument. You know what's a good argument? It's owned by the Jews right now and they can defend it. That's it. As soon as you get past that, you talk about hallucinations and imaginations and you probably got your history wrong anyway. Real estate doesn't go to who should have it. There's no rule like that. Real estate is owned by whoever can occupy it and defend it. Now I'm not saying that that's good or bad or moral or immoral. You can make your own decisions. I'm just saying that's what it is. So as soon as you bring into the argument what was true 2,000 years ago, off. I don't care what was true 2,000 years ago. What's true now is Israel is owned by the Israelis. That's it. Who, not all Jewish, right?

But if we decide to go by that standard, I'm 2% Neanderthal and I think that gives me ownership of part of Europe. But I don't know the details. So if we go with the standard of who used to own it or who owned it first, I'd like to kind of dig a little deeper because I think my 2% Neanderthal should give me, I don't know, a couple acres in Italy somewhere nice, mountaintop someplace. I don't want much. I just want what my Neanderthal rights are. I want Neanderthal rights. They own something. I want a little bit of that action if that's the way we're going to go.

Here's something I didn't know because the propaganda was so good. If before the war in Gaza, if I told you to describe physically what it looked like and what would it be like to be there, do you know what I would have said? I would have said something like an outdoor prison, probably temporary shelters. Most of it might have a few buildings for the government or something, but certainly there wouldn't be any construction or the buildings probably fall down in the first earthquake. Basically just a hole. That word was just presented to me in the comments. That's what I would have thought. And I would have thought desperate poverty. And I always thought there's no way that their economy could work in any kind of
