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 loo…

Fox News is going to like the Republicans but it's very transparent. So as long as it's transparent I'm okay with it. I just don't like things like The Atlantic or MSNBC because those are pure propaganda. Those are not in the same category with news. You need to update your thinking about some of those sites. Those are not biased news reports. Those are propaganda sites. It's their only purpose.
But let's do a check on CNN's independence here. So this is from CNN anchor Dana Bash after the Harris complete destruction at the town hall. Quote, "What I'm hearing from people who I've been talking to, if her goal was to close the deal, they're not sure she did that." And this is Dana Bash immediately after the event. And quote, "Having said that, anytime that she can be in front of an audience and interacting with voters is a win as far as her campaign goes and they're very happy about that." Really?
So let me see if I understand this. She did so poorly that even CNN says it was a failure, but then they quote her campaign as saying that whenever she's in front of people it's a win. This is the campaign that kept her away from people for two weeks before the election day. Clearly every time she talks to the public it's a disaster. It's a disaster. And this one was maybe the worst one yet.
So she was asked about the wall. She couldn't answer the question of whether she'd be in favor of the wall. She refused to answer it because even Anderson Cooper was pushing her. You used to say the wall was stupid. You used to say the wall was bad. What do you say now? Oh, word salad. Oh we need good security at the border. Right, right, right. But are you in favor of building a wall? Oh we, I was born in the middle class family. No, right, right, right. Do you favor building the wall? Well let me tell you about some things that have nothing to do with walls.
It was the most embarrassing, ridiculous, complete destruction of a candidate you've ever seen. It was by far the worst thing you've ever seen.
What am I looking at? Oh I'm looking at the list of people named Scott Adams who have donated to ActBlue. So somebody put my name in. And do you want to see how many times I've donated to ActBlue? That's my name next to all the donations I've made to ActBlue. Now I have a common name so it's probably not me, but it might be. It might be because I've been famous as a non-voter. So if somebody was going to try to pick up all the non-voters and make it seem as though they were supporting her, I would be an obvious one that you would pick up as a non-voter. Not this year though, suckers. I'm voting this year anyway.
So yes she was terrible. Anderson Cooper also asked her if she thought that Trump was a fascist and of course she gave a speech saying that he was a fascist and she repeated all the John Kelly hoaxes and the Atlantic hoaxes. If there are two things you shouldn't believe it's anything that one of Trump's old generals ever said because all of his generals were morons and maybe not even patriots. So everything Trump said about his generals looks obviously true. They don't even seem like they're on the side of America the way they act. So yeah they're morons mostly. And the funny thing is that they act like morons on TV. You know it's not like, okay they look pretty good in public but probably behind closed doors maybe they're not as smart. No they look dumb in public. The generals look dumb in public. And I've always been puzzled by that because I thought how can they look so dumb in public if they're actually very smart? You know how else do you become a general? Well it turns out that being a general is a political appointment. You can't become a general unless the politicians like you. It's not even about your job as a military person. So that explains a lot.
I believe that I don't know what the reason for John Kelly being the way he is but I don't think there's any chance he's telling the truth. So that's just my opinion. I would say there's zero chance that anything he said was true.
But the girl who cried Hitler was crying Hitler again and the world finally caught on. Wait a minute. When they're behind in the polls all they do is say Hitler stuff. It's pathetic. It's weak and it could get both candidates killed. Let me say that again. The he's a fascist, he's Hitler stuff is pathetic because we know the whole trick now. Like we know the role play. There was a time when it worked so you say oh that's evil but I have to admit it's clever because it's working. No it's not working and it's not clever. It's pathetic. It's just pathetic. And you know watching it is just incredible that that's all they have. It's pathetic. It's weak and it could get both candidates killed.
Now it could get Trump killed as we've seen because painting him as a danger to the Republic is how you get somebody killed. But I would go further and say it almost looks like they're trying to get Harris killed because you know nobody thinks that Harris comes up with her own ideas. So if she's pushing the Hitler button hard in the last two weeks it's because somebody else told her to do that. Whoever told her to push the Hitler button hard is putting her in real danger. Because if Trump gets taken out, I'm not going to finish the rest of the sentence. I don't have to, do I? Whoever is telling Harris to say this is putting her in mortal danger like she's never been in. This is the highest level of physical risk that Kamala Harris has ever experienced. I don't think she knows it. I think she thinks that if Trump gets taken out that they can just sell it like well crazy guy, isn't that terrible, thanks for electing me. I don't think it's going to go that way. I think that the reaction is unpredictable. I certainly recommend against any violence. Do not do anything violent please. But I live in the real world. If you shoot somebody in my family I'm going to kill you, right? And most of you would say the same thing. I'm going to kill you if you come after me or somebody in my family. There are people who feel that way about their politicians.
If people think that the Democrats planned and executed a plan to take down Trump I don't know what's going to happen. You get into really unpredictable territory. But I'll tell you the main thing that's going to happen is that if Kamala Harris has not boosted her security details she needs to think about that right away. Because the level of security risk she would be under if anything happened to Trump would be beyond anything we've ever seen. It would be unparalleled. So we don't want that to happen. So the thing I'm most worried about is that Harris doesn't know how much trouble her own side just put her in. They put her in a life and death situation and that's not cool.
So she's so dumb that she can't even take good advice. This is advice that's really putting her in danger anyway.
I'd love to see her define what fascist means in a way that doesn't include everything she supports. Because the Democrats are doing lawfare against an opponent. Fascist. They're involved in foreign wars for reasons that the public's having trouble understanding. Sounds a little fascist. They control the media. Fascist. They're punishing their political enemies. Fascists. And you know we live in a full propaganda brainwashing The Atlantic, MSNBC world. Every part of that looks fascist to me. So what Harris did is the most divisive thing that I think I've ever seen a politician do. But the fact that she can't identify a real fascist should be disqualifying. Should be disqualifying.
Now here's my provocative question. I would like to ask all of you, but mostly this is a curiosity about Democrats. How do Democrats explain the existence of smart, well-informed Trump supporters? Do you ever think about that? Now during 2015, 2016 if you were a Democrat you could say well look who's supporting him. There's this guy named Cernovich. We never heard of him. There's this cartoonist. Who cares what a cartoonist thinks? There's Bannon. Oh he's a wild man. There's Alex Jones. Well you know we've heard about him. So it seemed as though when Trump ran the first time and maybe even to some extent the second time that if you were a Democrat you could explain your own opinion in the context of everybody else's opinion. Because you could say huh all my smart friends agree with me. It looks like most of the news agrees with me except that Fox News and that Breitbart. There you know nobody pays attention to them of course. So yes my opinion against Trump makes perfect sense. My friends agree. The media agrees. And the people on Trump's side are all weirdos.
Time passes. Trump has what Republicans would call a very successful first term. And now his supporters include Elon Musk, Bill Ackman, David Sacks, Ramaswamy, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard. I could go on. But what do all those people have in common? You know what do they all have in common? They're very well informed. They're clearly very patriotic Americans and they're very, very smart.
So now what do you do? Because if you're a Democrat you have to explain these people. It's one thing to explain Trump. You just say well he's a terrible monster and you know all the racists support him. But what about these guys? Not all guys but what about the group of this list? And you know it's a much longer list. But how do you explain them? What exactly are you telling yourself to make it okay that you're on the other side of the smartest people in the world who are looking at the

same stuff you're looking at? How do you explain that? Do Democrats just imagine that these people that most people would say are brilliant and successful and well informed, do they tell themselves that these people are actually dumb? Are there Democrats who say it's a good thing I'm smarter than Elon Musk? Are they saying that? Are there some people who are doing their own investing and they're…
