g and teaching. It's kind of amazing. And I was trying to think what other jobs are illegal in some states but not others. And I thought abortion. So you couldn't be an abortion doctor where abortion's illegal, right? Abortionist. You couldn't have a weed dispensary. Is there anything else? Yeah, not that they have anything in common. But just imagine being in a job that some major state thought a…

You could lose the court case but you would win by simply making it a thing that people have to talk about. That there is a difference between persuading and brainwashing. You know the difference when you see it. TDS is a result of brainwashing. TDS did not happen on its own. That is your media brainwashing. Now there might also be CIA or other intelligence agency involvement. I don't know if you could make that case but you wouldn't need to.
All right. If you haven't seen Trump mocking Fani Willis in his latest rally it's worth seeing. He's pretty darn funny about it. He does say, I'll paraphrase, but he was talking about the boyfriend Wade. So Trump said he was hired without the right kind of experience in the law for the job he got from his girlfriend. But Trump says he had experience of something else. And then Trump does his hand motion of the sexual head motion. Something no presidential candidate has ever done in the history of presidential candidates. Nobody ever stood in front of a crowd and did a humping each other hand motion. Like how do you not love that? Like no matter what you think of his politics, how do you not love that? Anyway he was very funny about that.
All right. Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut says the crime surge for migrants is 100% made up. It's a right-wing invention. He says violent crime is way down. And let me tell you he's using all capital letters for way and down. So it's a big difference because if he didn't use the capitals I would have read that this way: violent crime is way down. You wouldn't be impressed by that. No. But the way he's written with the capitals the way I read it is violent crime is WAY down. And that's different. Makes you feel completely different. He says the drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history and that the data shows that migrants commit crimes at lower rates than the people who were already here. At lower rates. Is that true?
Well it turns out you can prove anything with data. That data has no value. It really doesn't. It's just blah blah blah. My data. Can he make his case with data? Do you think that Chris Murphy if he just had an argument with data could he make his case? Yes. Yes the data is completely on his side. But is that therefore his narrative is correct? No. Because I'm pretty sure that one extra death is a little bit too much. So his argument about the rate I think is actually true historically but you know what's not true? That migration today looks like historical migration. You can't use the old data to tell me what the new migrants are going to do. Now it might be the same but the data won't tell you that because the data is about a certain kind of migration from a certain set of countries and those people really really just wanted to work and they didn't want to get de

ported. They didn't come here for crime and they actually I believe have a lower crime rate than population in general. I think I can use a fact check on that but I think historically people really want to stay off of law enforcement's radar and just work so they actually did have a lower crime rate. Yeah so that could be true but it could also be true that any extra deaths are too much. That's j…
