echnology. Or not. You know, maybe they'll never get it to work. But I'm going to go full golden age today. You need some optimism today. Anybody want any optimism? Full golden age.

I told you before that there's some work being done on electric motors to create what they call an electrostatic motor, something that Ben Franklin had been playing with years ago. If they make this work, and it's looking promising, it would make electric motors 80% more efficient. Do you see where we're going with all this? 80% more efficient electric engines. They'll be the drivers of the robots, the drivers of the electric cars, the drivers of most things. Could go down 80%. So if our food goes down to maybe 10% of the production cost and our motors go down to 20% of the production cost, what else could be happening in the golden age?

Well, according to Maddie Chapman and IFL Science, there's some new material they've created. I don't know what it's called, but just some physical material that if it comes in contact with CO2, it just absorbs the hell out of it like nothing ever absorbed before. So they don't have to suck the CO2 out of the air. If they wanted to reduce it, they could just put it in contact at the point of production. Let's say in a smokestack, wherever the CO2 is being produced, they can just put some of this material and it just sucks it out of the air without any work whatsoever. It just has to come in contact with it and it does it so well it's not like anything that's ever happened before.

Now may I call upon the NPCs? I would like to give you some time, as tradition requires, when the topic of removing CO2 from the atmosphere is raised. You must, if you are an NPC, say, "But that's my plant food. You can't take my plant food out of the air. Stop taking my plant food." So I'd like to give you a moment. I know you can't resist. Plant food. Anybody? NPCs? Yeah, okay, good.

We all know that that would destroy the planet if you remove too much CO2 from the air. Now I'm not in favor of or opposed to removing CO2 from the air. I don't really know if it makes any difference at all. I have no idea. So I don't have an opinion on it. I do know it's expensive. So suppose the only thing that happened was they decided that if you needed to remove it from the air they could do it 100 times cheaper. Well that would be good. You don't need to be throwing all this money at crazy climate change things. And then you can decide later if you remove too much CO2 when the plants are dying. Because I'm pretty sure that adding CO2 would not be nearly the problem as removing it. So I'm not really too worried we'll remove too much. Seems far more likely we won't. That it won't make any difference. That would be my best guess, is that CO2 is not making much of a difference.

In other science, Popular Mechanics says that fungi, you know, mushroom-type things, they have some kind of an intelligence and that they communicate across their broad network of fungi, fungi, fungi, whatever they are. And they tested it and they apparently communicate. And so your fungi acts like a big brain. It's got some kind of intelligence and can communicate with other things in its network to tell it what to do to avoid trouble, etc.

Now the interesting thing about this is that not only can the fungi think, but 25% of them have already signed up to support Kamala Harris. 25%. 75% of them pro-Trump, but 25% of the fungi very solidly supporting Kamala Harris.

Well, I'd like to give an update on what I call the epic campaign of Kamala Harris. Now in my opinion she is the worst candidate for any office of any time in my life. I've never seen anything like it. It's really extraordinary how bad she is. And an account on X called Bad Ombre has a good summary.

You probably are aware that a whole bunch of October surprise hoaxes dropped yesterday. They were all sort of anti-Trump hoaxes, but it didn't go as I hoped. Apparently the public has now wised up to October surprises so that everybody just shrugs and goes, oh, that's not true, right?

Here's a summary by Bad Ombre. Total meltdown tonight at the Harris-Walz campaign. Here are the bullet points. The Hitler hoax didn't gain any traction. They've already overplayed that hand. We'll talk about that. That's the John Kelly Hitler hoax. The effing Mexican hoax. That's where Trump is allegedly offered to pay for the funeral of a murdered soldier, and that when the price tag came back too much, I think this was in the propaganda network called The Atlantic. It's a propaganda publication. And allegedly Trump said that that was too much to spend burying a effing Mexican. Now obviously he didn't say that. The hoaxes are just so insanely, absurdly stupid that we're just ignoring them.

Then there was somebody has a 32-year-old claim that Trump grabbed her butt. Nobody cares. The Wall Street Journal, because we don't believe it of course. A new Wall Street Journal poll says Harris is losing the popular vote. Now if you're losing the popular vote and you're a Democrat, you're going to get smashed in the Electoral College. So that's a landslide. So the polling is strongly suggesting a Trump landslide at this point.

And then Harris completely bombed the CNN town hall, which should have been a friendly, but she couldn't even handle the friendly. She just fell apart. So we'll talk about a little bit those things in general. But here's the big picture. I feel like the public has matured in their understanding of the media landscape. In 2015 if these hoaxes had landed, the media would treat them all like they're true and then voters would wonder and all that. But at this point I think zero Republicans think these are true. Is that fair? Would you say that there's not a single Republican who thinks any one of these is true? I think that's fair to say. But also Democrats don't even think it's true, which is what's different. We'll talk about that in more detail.

All right. So Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic, he's the most famous, maybe the most famous propagandist. So if you see his name or The Atlantic, that's not news, people. That's not bias. That is just purely made-up stuff. So once you know what's purely made up. Allegedly, allegedly it's allegedly purely made up.

All right. So most of those rumors came from that or from General Kelly, who we have many questions about. So I don't even think it's worth talking about the rumors because they're so absurd and stupid and people are on to it, so they're discounting it.

But let's talk about ActBlue. Here's something fun. So Speaker Johnson is pointing out that there's now a website where you can go to to find out if ActBlue, which is this big money laundering organization that supports Democrats, so they pretend that it's a place where individuals are making small contributions and then they get summed up and used for Democrat purposes. But indeed it seems like it's more likely that it's a place where rich people give large amounts and then they artificially pretend it came from individuals. Which means there's lists of people who are allegedly donating to ActBlue who don't have any idea that they've donated because they didn't.

But there's a website called checky donations dot org, which when I checked it this morning was under attack. You couldn't get close to it. It was like blinking on the screen. So I assume it wasn't just a technical error with the site. It looks like it's a denial of service attack.

So what would you do if you were the Democrats and you got caught red-handed and there's a website where everybody who's been taken by the same scam can go look up their name and presumably thousands of people will say, hey, you used my name and this isn't me? Well the only way you could protect yourself if you're part of this Democrat scam is to attack that website and take it down with a denial of service. And that's what's happening now. I'm speculating because I've never seen a website that blinked. Have you? Have you ever seen a website that blinked? I've seen them when they don't work or they give you an error, but it's literally blinking like you can't even enter anything. So I think it's a denial of service attack. Is that the most likely explanation? Because it's very unlikely that it was just too many people went to use it and the traffic was too much. Probably a denial of service.

So I think that might be exactly what it looks like. ActBlue is caught red-handed or blue-handed in this case. I think we should change it to being caught blue-handed. You okay with that? We're going to change the saying from being caught red-handed, which might have been racist by the way. Is that a racist thing? We're going to change it to being caught blue-handed.

So that's happening. According to Zero Hedge, Wisconsin election agency is confirming that they had a bunch of outages in their voting systems on the first day of early voting. How could that be? I thought that all the machines were tested thoroughly but they seem to be having some unexpected problems, huh? But it's a good thing we're using the machines because they're more reliable. Okay, no they're not more reliable, that's right. But at least using the machines you can get the election results more quickly. Okay, well no you don't get the election results more quickly. But at least they're more credible and the public at least, okay the public doesn't trust them. I'm sure there's a reason for them. I'm positive there's a reason we have election machines. I just don't know what the reason is. Anybody? Anybody?

I'm watching in the comments. There's always somebody who thinks there's no audio but I can never tell if they're trolls. But the other commenters are slapping them down. No, the audio is fine anyway.

So Harris gave her town hall and I think that even CNN said that she failed completely. This is what even Dana Bash said. Now as you know Dana Bash is considered a very pro-Democrat, pro-Harris commentator. Now CNN, as I've been saying lately, seems to be legitimately trying to find something closer to th
