ican military? I mean come on.

All right, so I'll keep an eye on that. I think it's probably just an accident but certainly raises your eyebrows.

Speaker Johnson, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, says he's a wartime speaker. To which we say, what war are you referring to? Is America in a war? I thought we were just supporting somebody else who was in a war. Somebody else is Israel and Ukraine. But apparently according to Speaker Johnson we're in that war. Well did somebody declare war? I guess we all knew we were, but that's sort of scary. It's just a self-fulfilling prophecy situation where I feel like it's kind of amazing that Putin has not done a terrorist act in the United States, isn't it? As far as we know.

Trump was blackmailed. Then years lat... she says there's more. Filling your own lines. Okay, I can't really read the long comments, the multi-paragraph ones.

All right. I saw Biden say the other day that he's ahead in 35 polls. Did anybody see that? Just the other day Biden said he was leading in 35 polls. Was there any fact checking on that? What was the last time you saw Daniel Dale, the CNN fact checker? Is he being kept in the basement? Yeah, he's kept quiet.

So I went and looked at 538. They keep a list of the polls. I did find there are two recent polls that Biden has led, but they're the minority. It's like two and ten or something. Now am I correct in saying that when you're looking at a national poll, given that all that matters is the key states, the swing states, if a Republican is leading even by one percentage point or even tied in a national poll, doesn't that usually mean landslide? Has that changed? If the Republican and Democrat are running even in the entire country poll, that usually means total destruction. The Republican just wins.

Now we don't expect that because we don't trust that our elections are fair. Too many moving parts in our elections and not auditable. So there's no way to know if we have a real election. But every indication is we do not. Would you say that's a fair characterization? There's no proof, no court-approved proof that any elections have been rigged, but all indications are that they have been. That's you outside of the court system, which isn't the right vehicle to check in the first place because they're not looking everywhere. They're not auditing. They're just taking specific complaints.

Yeah, to me it seems unlikely that everything that we know is going on could be going on and yet the elections would be completely unrigged. How could it be that everything is corrupt except that? Who would believe that? That would be an absurdity.

All right, here's a reframe from Dr. Andrew Huberman. I use a version of this. It's adding the word "yet" to things you're trying to do that you're not good at. So instead, let's say you're practicing the guitar as I am and I'm terrible at it. And I have to admit it was kind of discouraging. But I did tell myself some version of this, that I'm not good yet. I reminded myself that a lot of people learn to play the guitar and they're not magic people. They probably just kept doing it until they could do it. So I told myself, oh I'm not good at the guitar yet. So that I actually use this reframe and it works.

Now apparently there's some science behind it. If you say you're not good yet, you've created this positive thought for yourself that will keep you going, give you dopamine. Oh I'm not good yet but definitely getting there. And this is very similar to my systems are better than goals. The goal is to be good, but if you were just focusing on it you'd say oh my goal is to be good and I'm not good. That's demotivating. But if you're working a system, the system might be, well in my case my system is I put my guitar in my amp where I have to walk past it every day. And at least one of those times that I walk past it every day I say to myself, oh I have 10 minutes, and I'll pick it up and practice. So that's my system. So I use a system because the system makes me feel good. So that's what I teach, is if you have a system, every time you do your system, pick up the guitar for 10 minutes, you feel successful. So you move the end point away as the thing you're looking at and you just look at the system.

And then he had another reframe. Andrew Huberman did, that stress mobilizes resources. So instead of saying oh I feel stressed, oh I feel so bad today because I'm stressed, I'm so stressed, it feels bad. That will make you feel bad. But if you define that feeling of stress, the
