all the car companies are having trouble and Tesla needs to sell more cars or cut costs. That's what I think. I think I need another sip of coffee. Oh, that's good. Yep, that was exactly what I needed right there. All right. So Unusual Whales is reporting on X, I guess there's a movie called The Fall Guy. How many of you had heard there's a movie called The Fall Guy? You've heard of it? I guess I…

So yes, if the Republicans are going full lawfare on the elections, that's exactly right because it's got to be at least a fair fight, right? If the Democrats are doing full legal maneuvers to get the election rules the way they want, the only way it's a fair contest is if both sides do it. And I don't think we had that level of aggression there before. And I think Lara Trump — you know she's interviewed me a few times so I have brief contact with her — but my sense of it is you needed somebody who could just push through a brick wall. And she certainly signals — I mean I don't know her that well but she signals that a brick wall would not slow her down. So yeah, that might be one of Trump's best hires indirectly I guess.
All right. Judge Merchan is once again found Trump in contempt for saying stuff, and any future violations will be punished with incarceration, he says. So now it's getting interesting. Do you think Judge Merchan is going to put Trump in jail? Do you think Trump is going to shut up? Because I don't. I think Trump's going to push it all the way to jail. I don't think he wants to go to jail, not even for a day, but I think his personality just isn't going to let him leave this alone. I think he's going to push it all the way to jail, meaning that they're going to have to put him in jail to shut him up. And I hate to say how much I love it. I love the fact that even this won't stop him from saying what he wants to say. And if you want to guarantee he wins, put him in jail. Put him in jail for a day if you want to guarantee it. He's really begging for it at this point because I want to see the picture of him in jail. I want to see him behind bars and know that it was a setup and it was a stupid case and that at the end he wins because I'm sure he will because the case is empty.
Let's have that conversation. So while that's happening Jonathan Turley is making fun of the Michael Cohen testimony. Is that today? Is Michael Cohen testifying today or soon? But he's the star witness. And this is how Jonathan Turley characterizes it in an op-ed. He says Cohen will try to convince the jury to put his former client — that would be Trump, former client — in jail for following his own legal advice. Turley says this would be difficult even for a competent and ethical lawyer. For Cohen it is utter insanity. Turley is a treasure, but I love this sentence. You try to convince the jury to put his former client in jail for following his own legal advice. That's the perfect summary.
I was listening to a clip by Naval Ravikant just yesterday and he was talking about things that AI can't do. And it's a short list. AI is never as smart as you in your own domain of expertise. That seems to be true. That's one of the things that I've listed. But another one — what was I going to say? Trying to remember what Naval said. You can't listen to him if it's in your own domain, you'll know it's — oh, you can't summarize. So one of the things that AI can't do according to Naval is summarize. And I never noticed that before but it's true because summarizing is a very human thing. It's what comedians do. Now AI can't do comedy either and I think it's related because what makes a comedic summary funny is that it just gets to that really thing you're thinking about. Like it just hits that little nerve that's just the one that's the most active for the human. And the AI doesn't know what nerve is going to be the one that gets you going as a human. It just can't know that. But a human can summarize.
So when Turley summarizes this as Cohen will try to convince the jury to put his former client in jail for following his own legal advice, that is a great summary. That is a great, great summary, which is very hard, right? Summarizing is super hard. That's why the AI can't do it. But you can see that Turley can hit that note because he's a human.
All right. A CNN/SSRS poll says that 76 percent of registered voters who back Trump say they'll cast a ballot for him regardless of a conviction in the Bragg case. 76 percent said they'll vote, they'll back him. Now these are Trump's supporters, so that would be roughly a quarter of Trump's supporters would not support him if he gets convicte

d on fake charges. So if Trump — fake charges, convict him — a quarter of his supporters are not going to support him when he's been victimized by the very system he says he's going to fix for you. That 25 percent thing is so sticky. It is so sticky. Yeah, I don't believe the poll. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? Have you ever met anybody who is a Trump supporter who said but you know if they find…
