mala Harris because you got to hit the target. And the target is diversity not country runs better not company makes more money.

All right well I don't think my first take is very good but I think you could come up with a better list of things. I would add the three Democrat primaries are rigged. I would add the massive brainwashing operation that tries to be news. Do you think democracy is about your news sources being obvious brainwashers? That feels like the opposite from democracy because free speech is kind of important. Tried to close down Twitter, tried to put Musk out of business, trying to jail the January 6th protesters, canceling people for free speech, limiting gun ownership. That's the freedom they're going to give you. That's your freedom. So there should be a list of 10 things that Kamala wants to take away from your freedom.

All right so I continue to be fascinated by this venture capitalist named Vinod Khosla. So he's a billionaire investor. He'd been one of the co-founders of Sun Microsystems long time ago. And he had said some bad things about MAGA people but he wanted to clarify. He said to be clear MAGA for me is somebody who agrees with Trump on quote election denialism and supports the January 6th insurrection attempt. To me that is unforgivable. Not all Republicans are MAGA. Normal Republicans just have different priorities on the critical issues. Independents like me have a position that is in the middle generally. Now I can't tell is he stupid or brainwashed. Now again like with Maria Shriver it seems impossible that he's stupid, right? It kind of seems impossible because he has a long storied career of doing things that only smart people can do. So I think he's just brainwashed.

So as a public service I gave him a long response and I said and I quote you were brainwashed on the J6 narrative. News hasn't been real since the early 60s at least. Now people have asked me Scott how do you deal with people who are brainwashed because you can't have a debate with them. You'd agree right? You can't have a debate with somebody who's been brainwashed. It just can't be done because they have a whole different fact set and they think you made yours up. That's how they've been brainwashed. So I would say that instead you should go after the brainwashing not the argument. Now you want to go after the brainwashing first so that they can maybe get a context for how they've been fooled about everything. If you go after the facts they'll just say that's not true you're lying that's not true I reject you and that's the end of it. If you say you've been brainwashed and here's the evidence that you've been brainwashed maybe you have a way in with some people. It's not going to work for too many. So I started that way. I said you were brainwashed on the January 6th narrative. News hasn't been real since the early 60s at least. And I said Trump and supporters genuinely believed and still believe it was obvious the election had been stolen and they demanded a pause to check their election claims. In other words they were trying to stop a coup. Any nonsense with alternate electors would get sorted out by the courts. You can't conquer a country with creative paperwork. Trump left office on schedule. Democrats claimed Russia rigged the 2016 election for Trump. They ran the Russia collusion hoax which was literally a coup attempt anyway. And then I said you were brainwashed if you want to test that claim do you believe Trump called neo-Nazis fine people or that he suggested drinking bleach? If you're looking for the active part of the persuasion that was it. That was the active part. Everything else was a setup for that last sentence. If you want to test that claim that you were brainwashed do you believe Trump called neo-Nazis fine people or they suggested drinking bleach? Here's what he probably did. If he read it you know he got a lot of responses so there's no reason to think he read it but if he did he probably said to himself but he did call the neo-Nazis fine people and he did suggest drinking bleach. And then if his brain is as smart as I think it is the next thing that happens is um I do believe that he called neo-Nazis fine people but nobody would do that in public. Nobody would. What happens if I Google it and Google it as a hoax. He's very close to finding out that the pillars upon which he built his entire belief system are literally brainwashing. And when I use brainwashing I don't mean it as a hyperbole. I mean it right on target. No Venn diagram problems. It's not just slightly overlapping with brainwashing. It's not a little bit like it. It's not just reminding me of it. It's all the tools of brainwashing right in front of you right down the middle of the road brainwashing. And if you try to have a conversation with somebody who's obviously been brainwashed you're not going to get anywhere. You're going to have to deal with the fact that it is brainwashing and you're going to have to go back to none of your news is real. And then they'll say but your Fox News isn't real. And here's what you have to say. Sometimes it is probably wrong but there's a difference. On the left these elaborate hoaxes are built by the top of the Democrats and then the news coordinates to sell the hoaxes. Nothing like that happens on the right. The right has its conspiracy theories and gets some stuff wrong no doubt about it but it's never coordinated. I would know. I mean I'm close enough to the people who do things that matter that I would know if there was any coordination. There's none. But with the Democrats it's clearly and obviously coordinated brainwashing. They don't have any sense that they're telling the truth. Certainly with this border czar thing you can see it very clearly. So I would say if you're going to debate the brainwashed you should publicly label them as brainwashed because sometimes public exposure may be more important than your good arguments.

All right. Harry Enten on CNN is saying that Trump's more popular than he's ever been. He's up to depending on the poll 40 to 46 percent favorability which doesn't sound that great but it's the highest it's ever been for Trump. And that nationally according to their new poll Trump is up by one over Harris whereas he was up by four over Biden. But probably doesn't mean anything because Trump lost the national vote by what was it? No I've got these numbers backwards but the basic idea is this. Forget all the numbers I just gave you. The basic idea is that Trump may be barely ahead or essentially tied in the overall country vote but all that matters is the electoral situation and Trump is dominating in that. Rasmussen has a poll it says if it were just Trump versus Harris Trump would be up by seven 50 percent to 43 but since he won't be alone in a six-way matchup if you throw in all the other candidates Rasmussen would get you to Trump gets 49 to 42. So still a dominant position even with the other people thrown in. We shall watch the polls going forward. I think that it's going to get real interesting.

Trump has announced that if he gets elected he wants to build an iron dome to protect the country. So he'll build the wall and he'll build the dome. Do you want an iron dome? Yes you do. And he'll build it in America and deploy it in America. I think we need an iron dome. I really think we do. Yeah if the only thing it did was you know it could knock that one nuke out of the air that was going to start a nuclear war if that's the only thing it did it'd be worth half a trillion dollars. So we'll see if that happens. And by the way I would call this an example of future proofing the country right? Yeah you have to future proof the country. There will be more things tha
