thinks only Nazis use that building? It's a sort of a public building. I believe that sports teams do things in there. Maybe some of your favorite comedians have done stand-up there. How in the world do you drink so much that you go on CNN and say that having a rally in a public building where everybody has rallies and events is proof? It's not just like an indication but it's like and then that's…

n the border because they like him best. What do we got? Is he going to visit any real estate in the next few weeks? Let's check. Yeah he'll be in this building called Madison Square Garden. Perfect. We'll say it's a Nazi facility because that's all they have.

Imagine sitting around and thinking where will we put our limited resources today because everything is limited. We'll put our limited resources into this new hoax about using the military and the hoax about this building being where only Nazis gather. That is a lot of giving up right there. That you know if you could come up with different words for we surrender it would look like that. Oh I get it you're surrendering now. So are you done with the race? No we're going to take it to election day. But it sounds like you're giving up. Oh no we're fighting as hard as we can about real estate being Nazi indications. No you're not. No you're not fighting anymore. You have given up.

The Kamala collapse is today. Today is the middle of, wait today is the day that we all knew that the fake polls would start to catch up. We all knew that she couldn't keep this going. We all knew that if she came out of her closet and spoke to real people she would be destroyed. And now she's trying to make a case that Trump is the one hiding. So Kamala is saying in her speeches that Trump is not doing any interviews and refused to do a debate with her. Now obviously doing another debate doesn't help Trump. I mean maybe something could go wrong but there's nothing left to go right. And here's the thing. Trump has been talking to podcasters. Kamala Harris says he's not doing interviews with the major media. Why would he do an interview with the major media who is literally just basically the Kamala Harris campaign? She's really saying can you do an interview with the fake news who basically is an extension of my campaign? If you don't do an interview with the fake news that will only use your quotes out of context and edit you to make you look stupid the same way they edited me to make me look smart. If you don't do the dumbest thing you could ever do as a politician, talk to the main media who's going to malign you and make you look like you're some kind of a Nazi at Madison Square Garden, if you don't do that you must be weak and unconfident.

Okay here's what's really happening. Trump has realized that if he goes on Joe Rogan which he might do soon or on any of these podcasts that have huge male audiences that he is scooping up male support like a vacuum cleaner on ants. Every time he goes on a podcast he's not being accused of being a racist. He's showing himself in his very most relaxed basic favorable light and he can go from one to the other, get gigantic audiences that you'll never get of young men on any of these big platforms. You'll never get the bad treatment and it's a 100% winning strategy especially if he closes it out with Joe Rogan.

And it gets better. There is rumor, not confirmed, not confirmed, that both Trump and Harris at different times will do Joe Rogan before the election. Are you having the same feeling about that that I am? Kamala Harris has only done interviews with friendlies. Now she's going to do one with Bret Baier on Fox News but he would be the friendliest on Fox News. Now friendly meaning that he's not an opinion person and he does a great job of avoiding opinion. It's got to be the hardest job in the world. Imagine how hard it would be to do what Bret Baier does, talk about the news on Fox News and not just bias it because all of your co-workers are opinion people. So he does a great job of that. I'm always impressed when I see him work. So that's the safest thing she could do. But I think Bret Baier is going to tear her apart and not because he's biased but because she has some things to answer for that she has not answered for. And I don't think she's, that Bret Baier is going to let her just talk over him and run out the clock. I think he's going to make her answer and she's going to look like an idiot because we've seen her work enough and I don't say that lightly. She seems like an idiot and that's a separate question.

But imagine them on Joe Rogan. Imagine Joe Rogan asking anything he wants to Trump. How do you think that'll go? Pretty well. Pretty well. Now imagine, and by the way I would expect that Joe Rogan would ask both of them hard questions. I think Rogan would not want to do a softball interview with Trump. I think he'd want to come with some fun because it is entertainment but he's going to come with some hard questions. I think Rogan would make him explain January 6 in the way nobody's ever done it. I'm just guessing but I think he would hold him to some high standards. That's what I suspect because he wouldn't be afraid of them. That's what you need. So Rogan would not be afraid to ask the hard question and put him in a spot. And you know that's not the same for everybody else. But he would destroy Kamala Harris just by asking questions. All he'd have to do is say people wonder about this. Give me an answer. No that's not the answer to the question. It'd be destroyed anyway.

I also saw that Harris was talking about Trump not releasing his medical records. Apparently she released her medical records. Now Trump hasn't since 2013 I guess. But Trump has asked that Kamala Harris take a cognitive test. I would like to double down on that by saying she should also take a drug test. A drug test. So Kamala Harris tells us that her doctor gave her a clean bill of health. Did he? I don't remember seeing the drug test. Did you? Did you see the cognitive test? I didn't. So Kamala Harris has not tested the two things that we have a question about. When I look at her in public I do not say oh she looks like somebody who would be at health risk in the future. I don't say that. I'm not even really super interested in what her doctor says about her body because it looks like her body's fine. She's young enough, vital enough. She's been doing a full campaign. There's nothing about the campaign that suggests her body doesn't work. I'm fine that she has a good body and superior in body to Trump. Trump's got a little extra weight although it looks like he's losing weight and Trump's far older. So if she wants to compete on who's got a better body yeah yeah I'll give that to her. I'll give her the win on body. But it's not her body that runs the country. It's her brain. And if I don't know what drugs she's ingesting while it looks like she is and I don't know her cognitive ability when I can't explain why she's acting so much dumber than she used to act I kind of need to know those answers. I'm very curious about whether she's had a hit to her cognitive ability because it looks like it. I don't know why but it sure looks like it. Something's going on there.

So she's pushing that and she was pushing it. I was watching the rally and she slipped from politician mode into wife mode and I guess there's no nicer way to say it. Politician mode is most of what she says and most of what she has said you know like I will give you this policy. Yeah politician. But when she was talking about the health differences she slipped into wife like just nagging. Just the vibe. And oh my God did it turn me off. Like you know I hate to sound too sexist but the truth is that both men and women have a mode that if they use that mode it's a turnoff to somebody right? If Trump gets a little too braggy women just go I'm out. What are you doing? I cannot listen to one more second of you bragging about yourself. Right? That's the male version. The female version is if you get that attitude oh he doesn't want to give us his health records. I can't do an impression of it but oh my God when either of them get out of political mode and get into that mode total turnoff. Total turnoff.

All right, is it too soon to say we know the 2024 election is rigged? The amuse account points out that Detroit reports that 40% of the mail-in ballots have already been returned. Really? So this is on a long list of cities in Detroit and Detroit the place that you'd expect to be the worst managed biggest place that there would be a problem seems to have lapped the other cities in how many ballots have been returned early. So the other cities are in that 26 to 38% range but the star is exactly the city you'd expect to be the number one recipient of mail-in ballots if the cheat was on. It's already obvious.

People now I don't have a factual basis to say that cheating is going on and here it is but already we have one statistic that would make me not trust the election if the result were Harris won. Already if you're asking me do I accept the election of 2020? No I'm out. Or 2024 I'm out. I'm already out. I don't trust the result already. So I've already seen enough about this election that I don't trust it. Now if Trump win

s I'm going to embrace it like crazy like I didn't see any problems and I'm not even going to pretend to be consistent because I'm going to assume that he managed to beat the margin of cheating. I won't know that but it will be my working assumption. So yes there's something strange going on in Detroit and I'm hoping that somebody's going to ask somebody this question this week. And the question i…
