I care about you but I care about even the gray area. The part where you say is not alive I think the bodily autonomy argument needs to be applied there as well. So I'm for more bodily autonomy not less. You're looking for a middle ground where women have it but the fetus does not. I'm looking for where the woman's bodily autonomy is fully appreciated because there are cases where even the conservatives would say okay in that case abortion makes sense. Let's say the fetus can't possibly survive long outside but the woman is definitely going to die if she doesn't get it out of her body.

So rather than finding disagreement that you're a bad person and the other is a good person you say why can't we both be good people? Why can't we both be good people? I want you to have maximum bodily autonomy but I also wanted you to have it when you were a fetus. I wanted you to have it three months before you were born. I want you to have more bodily autonomy than you're even asking for. I want to send it to the states where 55% of the voters are women to get men out of the decision. I took it out of my hands. I took it out of the Supreme Court's hands, mostly men. I gave it right to the one area where it's mostly women and then eventually look at whatever they want because that's how our system works.

Now have you ever heard that argument? Has anybody ever directly said if you wanted to maximize bodily autonomy you can recognize that half the country says that the fetuses are not alive but you could say I do. Just say I do say they're alive and I accept and I understand your disagreement but I'm looking for the maximum bodily autonomy. I think you're stopping halfway. That's how I do it. Now again that's not my argument. All right I want to be very clear. My argument is I should not be involved. My argument is if the conversation is something about men's penises yeah ask me I'll be glad to weigh in on that but get me out of the abortion conversation.

RFK Jr. had something interesting to say that I didn't fully understand. He said the reform in the CIA might be as simple as separating the plans division which handles matters of intelligence and paramilitary. Does he want to divide them or split them? He wants to just reorganize. I guess he thinks that the way it's organized is causing the problems. I don't quite understand that but it would sound like not a very scary change. So if you were the CIA and you heard oh somebody's going to try to reorganize us you'd be worried. But if he said no I want to keep all these functions but I think this should report to this instead of this you'd say oh I'd still have my job I just have a different boss. Well that might work.

So whether or not RFK Jr. has a more aggressive plan, the way he's stating it, that's the softest way you could state it while still stating that something big could happen. It's big it just won't hurt. I tell you every time RFK Jr. says something and you sort of look at the communication skill but also the thinking behind it, the strategic level, it's always impressive and he's doing it again because you could so easily imagine somebody dumb coming in and say the CIA killed my uncle and killed my dad and I'm going to rip it apart and rip it up by the roots. Well then what happens? Then you disappear like your dad and your uncle. But if you say you know I think we can fix everything with a tweak it could be that even the people in the CIA hear this idea and say yeah you know actually reorganizing it that way might buy us some efficiency maybe.

Here's my favorite news item of the day. Zero Hedge is reporting that there's a poll that says nearly half of Generation Z voters and 23% of US voters overall have lied about their voting preferences this year to people close to them. Uh huh. Yep. Do you think a lot of people were lying about their support for Harris? Would that get you in trouble? Did you feel like oh no I can't say in my work group that I'm going to vote for Harris? Or do you think that there might be more people who are worried that they'll lose their job if they say they support Trump? What do you think is more likely?

We might be in for the surprise of all surprises. Now I have faith in men, now women too, but I think that because Trump's attracting more male support I can sort of focus on them at the moment. Just as an average my suspicion is that the amount of trickery that conservative males especially young ones are applying to the election is unprecedented. I think there's a prank that is the world's best prank and it might be coming up real fast. Because if you're a Republican leaning person you've watched hoax after hoax after hoax. You've watched yourself be called everything from garbage to deplorable and you just wait. And one day that pollster calls you and you say yeah I think Harris would be a great choice. This might be the prank of the century. I don't know.

So I'm not going to predict that. I'm not going to predict it but there's a possibility and there's certainly signals. The signals are really strong but the signals are suggesting this won't just be a landslide this could be like nothing we've ever seen possibly. It's not a prediction I'm just saying that there's a solid 20% chance that this won't just be a landslide this will be the landslide that because most Republicans know that it's got to be too big to rig. Half the country thinks that it could be rigged and that means that a whole bunch of Republicans are knowing it's got to be too big to rig.

Let me tell you something about persuasion and men. Now I don't know if this works for women it might be exactly the same for women but I can't speak to that so I'm going to say for men. Do you know what men really really really appreciate? They won't say it out loud. What men really really appreciate is knowing what to do to be useful. Just tell me what to do that you need done. What is your problem? What is the solution? Good I'll do that. We're very simple.

So think about the election. Everybody who leans right knows that they have to beat the cheat. Now I'm going to say they know it. Hypothetically we don't know that there's a cheat right but the Republicans all believe it so they believe they need to beat the cheat. How are they going to do it? They know how. See this is the magic part. They know how. They know to lie every time somebody asks them who they support. That's how you beat it. Everybody knows. Every male knows how to do this. We know that all you have to do is tell the pollster the opposite of what you're thinking and you get to beat the cheat.

If men didn't all universally understand exactly what to do and that it was easy to do then it wouldn't be much of anything but they know exactly what to do. They know the stakes are life and death. They are men and they are biologically programmed to do what they need to
