en. Women have complete control over the laws on abortion in your states. There is a lag and I regret that the time lag will allow some people to not be getting what they want but our system does allow you to get it in the long run. It's going to take some work and I'm not sure that you should have abortion laws that are liberal. That's not my preference. But the fact is we live in a constitutional republic with a democratic layer and if the women want this by a solid majority, maybe a little bit more than it is now, you can get anything you want. Not just on abortion by the way. If you have 10 million more voters you get everything you want. Everything. So stop complaining to men. This isn't about men at all. This is only about women. Now abortion has left the domain of men versus women. It is just not in that domain. It is just women. If women decide that it's going to be totally legal it's not going to matter what men say. It won't matter at all because we won't be in the room with the doctor and you can vote in any law you want. I know you don't like that because you think that the women will vote in more liberal laws than you like but all right anyway. And I think it's weird. Never mind.

So MSNBC had some expert I guess come on who is saying that the Trump people, the Trump supporters, they represent a different kind of masculinity. You know they have the sort of an alpha and what the expert called a retro masculinity. You know old school masculinity. Not the good stuff like Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz. So the expert said that Emhoff and Walz, they've got this new kind of more acceptable kind of masculinity in which they do not feel in any way diminished or disrespected if they can make space for women to succeed.

But I would like to add to that. I'm not going to disagree with that whatsoever. I do think that Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz make lots of space for women to succeed by looking like the kind of people we wouldn't want in office. So that's two people who are removed from the competition for women. But it should also be noted that the new kind of masculine men have other advantages too. It's not just that they're more supportive of women succeeding which is great but they're also better with housework. Way better at filling up the dishwasher. Way better at basically all kinds of household cleaning and chores. Now they're not good for sex I think you all know that. I think everybody agrees that the new kind of sensitive non-alpha non-retro masculinity, bad for sex but excellent for housework. And it's not a perfect world. You can't have everything at the same time. You got to make some choices. Be an adult will you? Be an adult. You have to make choices. And a lot of people have chosen a kind of man who's good for household chores and bad for sex. My only warning is that they will be the men who are replaced with robots first because robots are going to be good for household chores and bad for sex at least for a while. Maybe a few months. They're probably only one software update away from being better at sex than beta men. But there's your story.

All right I told you this before but I keep laughing because it's so funny. So Trump had this problem that the Democrats and the Harris campaign in particular and MSNBC kept saying that Trump was going to implement Project 2025 which was written by people who had been supporters of his but he didn't have anything to do with it and had some let's say more extreme Republican right-wing sort of policies than he would be likely to accept. So he says he's not even totally knowledgeable about what was even in that other plan. He just disavows it as somebody else's work and says you should look at his own work. But here's the problem. Since when does reality and reason enter into anything? It doesn't. So he can say all day long this wasn't my plan but as long as Harris can say yeah but it's your supporters' plan that's close enough for political work right? In my opinion he is going to completely ignore anything in that and he's going to do what he says he's going to do because we've seen him work for four years as president and we know how he operates. There's not really any secrets there.

So he had this undefeatable problem. You can't just say it's not true because as long as your supporters put it together which is true they're going to be able to paint it as true enough that you should not take a chance on somebody who has any kind of even connection to from the past or support from a group that might be pushing it on him. So what's he do? It's an unsolvable problem. So he comes up with his own Project 2025 for Kamala Harris and then he takes all the things that she said in the past which she says today she doesn't support like reparations and taking your guns and stuff like that and he puts it on the list and says here's your Project 2025.

And I say well wait a minute won't they just say it's not true? Yes they will. Will that work? Nope. It's exactly the same play. They can say it's not true all day but if they do they're going to have to talk about what's on it. That's not true. Here's the second question. It's not true. Well what on the list do you disagree with? Well I disagree with reparations. Well why is that on the list? Because I used to say that I loved reparations. What changed your mind? Did slavery go away? No. Slavery of course did not go away. Did systemic racism go away? No no it's worse than ever. So all the reasons you were in favor of reparations before have not changed. Well that's true but I still have to run for office and you know if we don't win we don't get anything so I'm just being practical about winning the office so we can get at least some things that Democrats want and you lose because nobody's going to want to put in office somebody who really really wants the reparations. I'll just pick one of the things on the list, reparations, just as a stand-in as one thing you don't like. If you think that the moment she had the ability to do it she would do it, compare that to Trump and a national abortion ban. If Trump had the ability to get a national abortion ban to pass I don't think there's any chance he would do it because he said he opposes it. I actually believe him when he says that stuff.

Well one of the things about Trump is that he was simultaneously the biggest offender to the fact checkers. I'll just say it that way. You know he had the most fact checks against him which the Democrats would call the most lies which then they translate into he's dishonest. But I don't think I've seen any politician who is more honest to his own opinions. Meaning that if he said he wanted to build a wall he didn't get it done but damn did he try hard. Like you can directly see that he tried really hard to get it. It's the best you can get. It'd be great if you succeeded but sometimes things take longer. You got to press harder. Might take two terms. So he's very true to what he says he's going to do even if it doesn't work out. I vastly prefer that over somebody who's got to technically use the right data in his argument all the time. I don't care about that. I do care if he tries to do the right things.

North Carolina election board has reportedly removed over 700,000 ineligible voters. Huh. Makes you wonder how many ineligible voters have voted in the past elections. There are 700,000 of them in one state. Not our biggest state. Not our biggest one. 700,000 ineligible voters. If those ineligible voters had somehow gotten a mail-in ballot and then voted would they have caught it? I don't know. Don't you think that would be the most important thing about this story? It's not in the s
