everywhere. You just have to have them in the key places. So this is part of a theme of everything seems to be going Trump's way at the moment. We'll get into more Trump stuff but now that we know what could have happened it looks like the censorship machine is at least being wounded if not dismantled. It looks like the people who are going to watch the elections are going to watch it a lot more c…
← Previous segment →to punish you for not signing up. So if you make it automatic it's actually safer for the young men because then nobody's going to say hey you didn't sign up so now you have to go to jail. They'll say oh everybody signed up. It's automatic. Isn't that better?
So what you might have thought is oh my God instituting the draft is really just they took away a potential penalty for young men who for no fault of their own maybe didn't register. So it probably is just a net plus and nothing else. That's my guess. However is the timing suspicious? Recruitment is way down. We know that recruitment's in the toilet and it's hard to get qualified people to volunteer. And the Ukrainian war is heating up and people are talking about boots on the ground of at least Europeans. That's not much of a leap to think that maybe the United States is just sort of getting ready. Yeah just in case. Which isn't a bad idea for a country because it sends a signal to the other countries that we're serious. But here's the kicker. Why is it that only men would be drafted? We have a Democrat in power. Should they not be honest with their people? So I think the Democrats have to do one of two things. Either say we were lying all the time about you know the genders being basically equal to do everything. So really we were when it really matters we were just kidding. You're not equal. The men will do the fighting. You ladies stay home. They can't say that by the way. That's not my opinion. I'm just saying that what are they going to do? So they built a party that is pro woman can do everything. They need to be registered for the draft fully. So I don't think men should be registered for the draft unless women are. So long as we're living in a world in which everybody's the same. So I think women should worry about combat and worry about getting drafted. So I think the odds of women being drafted into the military under a Biden regime are nonzero. I'd give it an odds of maybe 20% that if Biden wins re-election the women will actually be drafted and that will be prepping for a European war. Now I would bet against it. You know I would bet with the 80% likelihood it wouldn't happen. But if I were a female voter and I knew there was really no chance that would happen under Trump but a 20% chance I would get drafted into the army and sent to Ukraine, I think that women need to be a little bit more informed that they're very close to being handed a gun and sent to Ukraine. They're very close. I don't think they know that. So it'd be nice if there were at least awareness that the possibility is there.
MSNBC the propaganda network is so funny. Like you know I always say I'm watching it for fun and I always think oh you think that's hyperbole? No I actually watch it for the laughs because they're so bad crazy. But really it's just propaganda. So they're just acting. But here's what they're trying to sell us. They're trying to sell us that their business leaders who of course don't give their names, anonymous sources. MSNBC's got some anonymous sources. Those are always reliable aren't they? And they said that they questioned Trump's mental fitness because he couldn't keep a thought straight and he would go in one direction and then go in another direction behind closed doors.
So here's what MSNBC is trying to sell their public and I'm not making this up. This is actually what they're trying to sell to their audience. That Biden looks dead in public but if you were to catch him privately, perfect. Trump is in public all the time doing these high level hard things like rallies and talking for an hour extemporaneously. And while he does look great in public, behind closed doors he's actually. So if you're an MSNBC audience they're literally trying to teach you that Biden is dead in public but behind closed doors just fine. And that Trump every day you see him he looks just fine but behind closed doors let me tell you he all falls apart behind those closed doors according to anonymous people who don't like him. And there even been saying that it's full projection and that the right leading media is becoming like North Korea. How can you watch Morning Joe and not think that the projection is in full form?
Well to counter that Chamath Palihapitiya, one of the wealthy investor VC types who was at the David Sachs event where Trump was there raising money in San Francisco. And he was talking recently on his podcast about the experience of meeting Trump personally. And what he came away with is he's definitely sharp in public and in private. He's pro-AI, doesn't want to overregulate it, and low taxes. Basically all the things the business people want to hear. He understands them all. That the tariff versus income tax is a pretty complicated thing which he apparently understands and is promoting at least floating as a possibility. And the other thing that Chamath said is that he's super funny and personable and charismatic. And you know he said that his experience of him in person was so different from his sort of bombastic public persona that nobody would even imagine it. That was exactly my experience. In person he's humble and polite and funny and charismatic like you could not like him more in person. Like he really has the whole package of you know how to work a crowd, how to work an individual. So Chamath came under this spell and he even said that Trump was making him laugh. So apparently he was looking at Chamath and his wife who was very attractive and he said wow you're a beautiful couple my goodness you're a beautiful couple. And then he turns to Chamath within hearing range of his beautiful wife he goes man you must be really rich. Now that's funny. It's funny that he said it in front of the guy's wife and even Chamath thought it was hilarious. Said his wife thought it was hilarious and they'll probably talk about it for the rest of their life. Now that's Trump right? That is exactly who he is in private. He's hilarious and he's very fun to talk to.
All right other stories. Everything's going Trump's way. A bunch of CEOs according to the Wall Street Journal the top CEOs are flocking to Trump. Well I don't know if they're flocking but apparently Trump has won over the major bank CEOs. You know the Jamie Dimon type. Doesn't mean they're necessarily voting for him but they do seem to think there's a Trump advantage to banking and business. So if you get the bankers you have the money people. But he also has the most important venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. And by the way pretty much all of them or all the ones who talk in public. I haven't heard any venture capitalist lately being pro Biden except one who looked bat crazy. So the reasonable ones that you know to be smart are pretty much all Trump at this point. Bill Ackman same thing and for all the right reasons. You know AI, crypto, regulation, taxes. It's exactly what you think. So they're all coming home.
Meanwhile even according to Rasmussen eve

n Arizona looks like it's going to go to Trump when he narrowly lost it last time. If you add in the other candidates like RFK Jr. and Jill Stein whatever Trump has 41 to Biden's 37. And he's doing even better than Kari Lake is in her Senate race that's closer where she's just a little bit behind her challenger Ruben Gallego. So it's 44 compared to 41. So that's a closable gap. We'll see if she do…
