at are happening. I think Lara was behind supporting Scott Pressler. So you're seeing all these hints of smart effective things coming out of the Republicans.

Well here's one I didn't know about. Turns out there's been an effort to organize churches so that the churches will help collect mail-in ballots where it's legal. Now that would be called harvesting but it's not illegal everywhere. It's legal to say can I help you take this to the mailbox. So churches are organized and that could be a really big difference if the churches fully embrace mail-in voting and they start collecting it in the church and getting everybody to sit there and fill out their ballot or whatever they're going to do. I think this could be a sleeper variable because the left-leaning news is sort of it's invisible to them. They're not really covering Republican church gatherings. So I don't know. It's too early to say because I don't know what numbers are involved. But given that the swing states have small margins, if you get the churches really organized it feels like that delivers votes more than most things, right? If the church is collectively doing something it seems like the church members are going to be really influenced by that. So could be a big deal.

All right here's something funny I saw on X. An account called Peachy Keenan. I don't know if that's a real name or I don't know just a name for Twitter. But Peachy Keenan talked about Harris Walz and I'm just going to read it because the writing is so good but it also sort of nails a feeling that I've had not been able to capture. All right so Peachy Keenan says quote: "Men are grossed out by Kamala Tim because there's nothing to hook them. The 'man' in quotes on the ticket is a weird little troll-like creep with bilateral limp wrists and the female is a sexist vapid HR boss who projects deep hatred of masculine men. Both couples seem like platonic relationships at best and possibly one beard situation. Trump Vance on the other hand are red-blooded hetero males with a healthy appreciation for biological women. Their wives are lovely and poised. It's a much more authentic relatable ticket." And Peachy says that Harris Walz appeals to oddballs blitzed on mood enhancers and sterilized by long-term birth control and gender studies PhDs. Yeah that pretty much captured it.

And then I saw Jen Psaki was interviewing Doug Emhoff and she's been pushing this idea that Walz and Emhoff are the new masculinity. So she actually said to Doug Emhoff in an interview she said you reshaped the perception of masculinity. Let me just say this. If you ever really want to get under my skin and give me an insult that will like really get to my core — typically I'm pretty thick skinned. People insult me all day on social media. I don't really think about it by the time I'm going to bed, right? Sometimes I respond but it doesn't really get to me. But if you really really wanted to insult me like deeply deeply insult me here's what you should say: Scott looks like you reshaped the perception of masculinity. Oh yeah? Well screw you. I don't have to take that from you. Yeah that's what I'd say.

But the more important thing is that Doug Emhoff does not have a brother named Jack. I'll give you a minute. You can work on that at home. Doug Emhoff does not have a brother named Jack.

All right everybody caught up? All right good good.

Trump apparently is going hard at the idea that Harris is an idiot. He's called her stupid, mentally impaired and disabled. And you might say to yourself how could such a person be doing so well? Well easily one of the biggest demographic groups in the United States is people who are stupid, mentally impaired and disabled. Mentally disabled. And they seem to love her. You know why? She looks good to them. And I'm not even joking.

You know in prior elections and Hillary Clinton would be one, whatever you want to say about Hillary Clinton she's not stupid. Can we all agree on that? She's brilliant maybe, evil, but she's not dumb. And you know if you looked at other women who have run for office you know Nikki Haley, you could name several other Democrats. Do any of them register as dumb? No. No. Some of them you might prefer or not prefer but none of the ones, none of the women who ran for president look dumb. But she does. And I'm not saying that just politically. She actually looks dumb. And so I love Trump going after her for that. But it might backfire because there's so many in that demographic group that they might say wait we have a dumb candidate. Finally somebody who can represent me.

Have I told you that I sometimes test my persuasion by using non-standard terms to see if they pop up in some other context? Because if I persuaded using ordinary words and then my persuasion influenced somebody else I wouldn't really know it because they would just be ordinary people using ordinary words. So one of the things I did intentionally several months ago is I tried to see if I could brand the Democrat policies and specifically the Harris policies as quote batshit crazy. Does anybody remember me saying I was going to try to insert that term into the political conversation? I want to see in the comments do you remember me saying that or no?

Anyway it was my intention to not say I don't like these policies or these policies are good for some people but bad for others. You know the usual things you say. Some of the policies such as price controls they're batshit crazy. They are just batshit crazy. And for a while I was saying that every day on social media and on my live streams. Well I guess yesterday Senator Lindsey Graham called Harris's policies batshit crazy and he said it on a live broadcast. Nicely done Lindsey Graham. Nicely done.

Now we have collectively found reasons to criticize Lindsey Graham on this or that but if we're being fair this was really good because it became a headline. And I think we need to reframe this is not Democrat versus Republican because this time it doesn't look like it. Every other election looked like it to me. You know they all look like oh Democrat versus Republican. This is batshit crazy, brain dead, walnut brain, stupid idiot against a candidate who's interesting. This is not just two political opinions. There's no philosophical difference going on here. There's one is just batshit crazy. And the MSNBC, you know the main propagandists who support the Democrats, they're just batshit crazy.

I probably looked at five different clips from MSNBC that were sent to me this morning. Do you know why people sent me the clips? For humor. For humor. And nothing was added in. In other words nobody had to add the comment look what they're doing or look how they cover this topic or nothing. They just simply send me exactly what MSNBC said and I just go oh my God oh my God like I can't even believe it and I just laugh at it. So MSNBC is literally morphed into no longer anything like a news entity. It just looks like this weird propaganda brainwashing operation full of people who were mentally ill. It just looks like a monkey dance. It's like total random mental illness going on. The monkey part was not a racial term. I wasn't thinking of any particular people. It's just monkeys are funny. There are plenty of white people who work at MSNBC. Don't take me out of context.

All right apparently there's this leaked telephone conversation between Arizona's Democrat governor and secretary of state and this is reported by the Gateway Pundit, Jordan Conradson. And apparently this telephone call they were worried and trying to figure out what to say about 98,000 voters that were part of a registration glitch. Now I think the glitch was we couldn't tell if they were citizens. So there were close to 100,000 people who if they voted you wouldn't know if they were legal votes. Now I don't know if they were legal or not but you wouldn't know because somehow it got disconnected from knowing who's actually eligible to vote.

So apparently they were perfectly aware that if it became known that they had 100,000 voter mistakes that it would show that the whole system is messed up. Now you know what's interesting? That the thing we know for sure is that our elections are pristine and that there was no cheating involved. And yet every single day I hear multiple reports of irregularities that can't be explained or are transparently illegal and/or broken. We have the most broken system of all systems and yet for the last several years we've been told they're perfect, no problem, they're not auditable by design. Well who makes an election system that can't be audited by design? Only people cheating. There is no second answer to that question. Nobody builds something that can't be audited by design unless they don't want it to be audited because they plan to cheat. There's no other reason.

All right there was a big Rescue the Republic event yesterday that looked like a big success in terms of turnout and big names, speakers: RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Jordan Peterson and on and on and on. It was quite a slate of stars. But I don't know what it was trying to accomplish. But only because I don't know. I'm not saying it didn't accomplish anything. I'm just saying what were they trying to get done? Was there something specific we were trying to get out of that or just raise some attention for some points of view? Yeah Matt Taibbi was there. I heard he was great. Yeah okay. So I'm a little under-informed on the topic but if somebody could let me know what was the objective of that I could tell you if I thought they met it. But my guess is it got covered by all the right-wing media and it got ignored by the rest unless they said a bunch of racists met today. So I don't know if it moved the needle but I don't know if that's what it was supposed to do. You know maybe there was multiple variables involved. So let me know if you think that moved the needle in some way that I'm missing.

Well let's talk about Hezbollah. According to the Wall Street Journal Israel's been carrying out these small targeted raids in Lebanon and the suggestion is that they're going in on t
