lumn in the middle of it. And I would have an underground canal so that I could move those big blocks that are floating on wood into the middle of the pyramid. And then I would close off the place that the block came from and I would fill the column with water and it would float those big blocks all the way up to the top of the pyramid, whatever has been built so far. And then you just take it off…

Some people are wondering why the ADL was not included in this. Maybe they'll be included later. But the ADL is part of the censorship behavior bad actor world. So if you weren't aware of how bad the ADL is, you should be. I'm sure they've done some good things in the past. I wouldn't discount that. But at the moment they're more of a Democrat attack dog kind of organization.
All right, let's talk about the new VP choice for Harris, Tim Walz. So he got introduced at a big event and we'll talk about all the things. But the first speaker was Josh Shapiro, who many people including me believed was already picked to be the VP choice. That turned out to be fake news which I fell for. So if you're keeping track, and you should keep track of how many times I fall for fake news, but also keep track of how many times other people fall for it. Now I don't remember what language I used when I talked about it but I talked about it like it was sort of a done deal but not confirmed officially. I went too far. I should have said this is not a confirmed thing but somebody's making this claim and here's why. So I think I failed you on detecting that. So I present myself as good at detecting but that one slipped past my filter. So you should first of all hold that against me like literally. But you should also look at the totality of things I predict and call on and just see how the total record is. One of the claims I would never make is that I'm always right in my detection. Nobody would make that claim. The best you can do is you know better than other people I guess. You know if you could do it better than other people you're amazing. I don't know if I do it better than other people. You can be the judge. But I missed that one. So keep that. Put that on my permanent bad record.
All right, so here's what I had heard about Josh Shapiro. They say he was a great orator and he would have been a stronger vice president. That he was not chosen. And we have a little disagreement about why. Some people say it's because he was Jewish and the anti-Semitic population within the Democrat party made that a problem. And as Van Jones points out, the anti-Semitism is marbled into the Democrat Party. Which by the way is a fantastic choice of words. So Van Jones said the anti-Semitism is marbled in and they need to work on that. You know they're going to have to figure out how to deal with that. I love the honesty of that.
But then I think other people, other Republicans etc. are saying that they think that's the reason that he was not picked, is that he's Jewish. But then the David Axelrods want us to believe the real reason he wasn't chosen is that when he met with Harris he was a little bit too alpha and too much — I think they use the term main character energy — meaning he looks too much like he should be considered as a future president because he has too much skill. So that it would be an uncomfortable fit with Harris who's maybe not the strongest political figure we've ever seen. And that maybe he asked for too much power. You know these are all rumored things that we can't confirm. And maybe that it just didn't seem like the right fit. So it could have been a combination of just knowing that the marbled anti-Semitism wasn't going to work out for him and maybe also knowing that he wasn't quite the right personality fit. And maybe you save him for a future presidential run which I think would be the smart play.
Now I had never heard Josh Shapiro speak and I'd heard somebody say in something I completely dismissed — somebody told me he speaks like Obama. Do you know what my reaction to that was? Sure, yeah okay yeah he talks like Obama. That this Jewish guy from Pennsylvania is going to sound like Barack Obama and I'm supposed to believe that? And so I listen to him talk and I'm sitting here at home saying he doesn't just talk like Obama. You know he has the hope and change kind of rhetoric in that category. I thought that when people said he sounds like Obama there was more of a vibe and I even thought that the vibe was a little overselling it. It's like no he doesn't have an Obama vibe. I was so wrong. It's not the vibe. He does an impression of Obama. He does an actual verbal impression where if you were listening at home and nobody told you it was Josh Shapiro you would actually think it was Obama's voice. It's an actual impression of Obama.
Now do you think he's aware of that? I wonder. I mean it could be that he's just a big fan and he was influenced and maybe picked up some of the techniques and went too far and it just sounded a

little too much like Obama. But it's so strange to hear him do an actual impression of Obama. Now if it sounds like I'm criticizing that you're hearing it wrong. I'm going to compliment him on that. Let me tell you my secret for becoming a famous cartoonist. If you've never heard me say this before, you know people would ask early in my career what's the secret of how you develop this popular cart…
