ly it's almost a utility kind of situation. Then you have Larry Ellison who needs way more electricity than California can get him. So he's like, well, how about I just build my own nuclear power plants? Who does that? Billionaires. Here's the thing. I've said this before but the billionaires have a value in the United States that nobody else would ever satisfy. Meaning that Elon Musk can simply…

, Robin. Yeah, that's the point of it. The point of it is to humiliate and discredit the people that he thinks should be humiliated and should be discredited. And I agree. So it got some good publicity there from Robin.

Well, True the Vote, the voting integrity organization, has announced that they somehow have figured out how to monitor over 25 million ineligible names on voter rolls across the country. Let me say that again. According to True the Vote, who apparently has done a lot of work, they claimed that there are 25.5 million people across all the states that are not eligible to vote. You know, they died or they moved or they're illegal non-residents or something. And they say that they will engage law enforcement and litigation partners if any of them vote. So basically putting out the threat that if anyone's tempted to vote using these illegal names, I guess I would include somebody pretending to be and filling out a ballot for an illegal name, but they're going to go after them. They're going to get litigation partners and go after them.

Now I like putting that threat out there. I don't know if they can really detect what they need to detect and make something of it. But actually how would they detect that? How would the outside organization know who voted by name and address? Is that knowable or would you have to do some kind of FOIA or lawsuit to get the information? Is the information even available? I have lots of questions. I like the general thrust of this, that somebody who's monitoring True the Vote is monitoring the ineligible names and that they're going to get tough about it. I don't know that they can know for sure if somebody voted from one of those lists. I don't know how you would know that. So that's the problem. If we can easily know that an ineligible person voted, wouldn't that allow us to stop them? I've got a feeling maybe it's not so easy to know if they voted. We'll see.

Meanwhile there's somebody I've never heard of, but I guess he's the travel writer and television host named Rick Steves. And somehow he made news despite me not knowing who he is by endorsing Harris. And in a little video he released he explained why he endorses her. He argued that the world doesn't need the quote chaos of Trump in the White House. The chaos. He's opposed the chaos of Trump. Where's the chaos come from, do you think? Where's all that chaos? 100% of it is coming from the Democrats. So the Democrats create the chaos and then they say well you can't vote for this guy because of all the chaos that they created. What chaos has Trump created all on his own? I can't think of anything because his supporters don't find any of it chaotic. Some of it's less than perfect, but why would you call that chaos? Every administration does things that some of us think are less than perfect.

So anyway that chaos thing is sort of a red flag for brainwashing in my opinion. I don't believe you could get to a reasonable opinion that chaos is your big problem. Like you wouldn't put it at the top of the list. Well you know when I look at climate change and I look at the national deficit and I look at immigration and the open borders, when I look at Ukraine and the trouble in the Middle East, the thing that I think of first is all that chaos. That's not a real opinion. Nobody sits down and says all right well let's look at the risks and rewards of each of these situations and yep, yep, when I've looked at all the risks and rewards I'm against the chaos. Chaos isn't even a real thing. Not only is it not a real thing, it's not even coming from Trump. It's literally coming from his enemies. So if he wants less chaos why doesn't he tell his own team to shut the heck up? Somebody said a 12-year-old is watching today so I pulled back.

All right, how would you like some optimism? Is anybody up for some optimism? I got a little for you. It might be really good. You might like it. You ready? Get ready. Optimism incoming.

There is something happening that I think you can feel. There has been an explosion of creativity around this they're-eating-the-dogs theme. You know, from something that Trump said at the debate. And you've probably seen it and you've probably seen multiple videos of people putting it to music and dancing to it. And it's viral all over the place. And I've never seen such a surge of creativity that is at such a high level. And you could add to that the stuff coming out of Nicole Shanahan's operation. She's released yet another amazing video. And I say amazing because you just look at the thinking and the quality and the note they're trying to hit and just the production. And it's amazing. It's called, her video is "Who Really Are the Maga People?" And it's this fictional story of someone with a British-sounding accent, I think British, who does like a fake documentary. You know, it's for fun. But they show ordinary MAGA people just hanging out with their kids and going to work in their trucks and stuff. And they all just look like good people. And the point of it is that this person who came to examine these dangerous MAGA people found out, oh wait, they're all really nice to hang out with. Why are they all kind to me? Why do they have this code of ethics? And everything seems like if you just left them alone we'd all be fine. So it was brilliant. You have to see it. My description of it doesn't really sell it. But so that's brilliant. And it's one of several she's done that are all brilliant. Whoever she's got working on these.

And then a whole avalanche of these Trump saying save the dogs. You know, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. And the level of creativity that got unleashed and the specific way it was employed makes me feel this. Think of Trump as an energy monster, somebody who generates tremendous amount of energy. But think about this. He's been storing that energy like a battery, not in himself. He's been storing it in his base and his supporters. He's created this immense amount of energy. Some of it he uses himself and some of it he uses his tens of millions of supporters like a storage system. It's like a battery.

Now if you watch the debate as I did, I originally scored it as Harris's victory because it looked like a tie, which in this case would look like a victory for her. So I said publicly she won the debate. And it felt to the world, a lot of us, like even if you thought he won the debate it wasn't by much and it wasn't as good as you liked. And it just felt like, I hate to say it, he didn't have the goods. Like he was just a little short that night. Now I don't think it's necessarily his fault, although a few things I think he could have done better. I think it had to do with the setup. And you know Harris is actually good when she's doing memorized pieces. That's pretty much the whole story. You know, the ABC host plus the fact she could just do memorized pieces. But many people who support Trump felt like he didn't get across the line, that there was something he needed to accomplish and it was very important and he didn't get there. So what did they do? Did they change their mind, say I'm not going to vote? No they didn't. Did they say I'm going to vote for Harris, she had a good debate? No they didn't. But they had all this energy that he's been storing in them for so long. And all of a sudden it all came out.

And here's what it looks like to me. I don't know if you can feel it yet but I can feel it. His base has decided that they don't want Trump to win. They've decided t

hey don't want him to win. They've decided they're going to make him win. It's a decision now. Everything changes when it's a decision. We are out of the preference stage now. Tens of millions of people just said if you can't do it we're going to drag him across the finish line. And you can feel that now. This is about Trump of course but the energy that he's been storing for years in his base jus…
