do whatever that is. And what they need to do if the Republicans is lie to the pollsters, make sure you drag your neighbor to vote and get this fixed. Now again anything could happen but there's a 20% chance that history will be made in a way that will just be mind-boggling. It's possible and I have a trust. I have a trust in the male instinct that it has been awakened. It's secret. You remember…

n and you know they're always low weight because they're actors so they all look like they're on heavy chemo and things aren't going well. But yeah Tim Young your comment is exactly right. She got endorsed by a bunch of actors who look like they're dying.

But wait but wait at least they at least they had a good day on Halloween because I mean Halloween's a layup right? If you're the president all you have to do is go interact with some people in costumes and you've got a good day. Like if you're Biden and that you know anything that Biden does at this point is reflecting on Harris even if she's not involved. So let's see did Biden have a good day on Halloween? Turns out that Jill Biden wore a costume as a giant panda. She wore a giant panda costume. His wife the First Lady. Now I have to go there. Now not all of you know what I'm talking about yet but I got to go there because Nicole Shanahan said at a public event that looks like they're rubbing it in her face because you might not know this but panda in the world of I hate to even use the word p-d-o right but in that world panda has great meaning. I'm not going to tell you what the meaning is. Trust me you don't want to don't look it up. If I could ask you for a favor take my word for it. Pandas do have a deep meaning in that world of P stuff. Don't look it up just don't look it up just trust me don't look it up.

Now I'm not sure that anybody was thinking that like I don't necessarily believe that that was an intentional message but what would the other thing a panda suggest? China. If you wanted to send the message that China owned you and your Joe Biden you would have your wife dress as a giant panda. Message received. Got it. Yeah China runs the presidency. So I don't think the panda choice could have been worse since the only two things that makes me think of is communist China and the other thing. So that happened.

What was Nicole Shanahan's exact quote? Was the parading of Jill Biden in the panda suit yesterday right in front of our eyes what the hell is this mockery? No more. So she's I think she's calling it out directly. Now is there a gigantic pedophile network running the world? I've been hearing about this for years and I've always discounted it. I always said to myself well obviously there are going to be bad people in any large group of people and you'll hear about the bad ones more than you hear about the good ones because the good ones are not making news. So yes probably there's lots of stories about famous celebrities and politicians who did things illegal in the sexual realm but it can't be some big organized thing. And I'm still not on the page that there's a giant organized satanic pedophile network that is the real power in the country. I am however promoting it to maybe.

So if you're wondering where I'm at, maybe it is. And I'm going to make an analogy to one of my favorite Joe Rogan takes. It's my personal belief that we have landed on the moon and that it was not faked but as Joe Rogan said we've seen so many things that we thought were true that are not true that it makes the moon landing seem like it's in question. And to me that's hilarious especially if it makes you mad and especially if you're positive that the moon landing is real. Right I still love it because the comment is not even about the moon landing. The comment is that what we consider ordinary or true has moved so much that even the moon landing has to now be questioned. Now that part I just love but the question of whether it's real or not I think it's real far as I know.

But we have the same question the same problem with the giant pedophile network running the government. I don't think it's real but the number of signals that are raging I can't not see them. I mean they're pretty right out there right in front of you. There are references to pizza and hot dogs that I don't understand in any other context. I don't know what other context it could mean. So once you've got the P Diddy situation coming out and the Epstein situation coming out and then you see Jill Biden dressed as a panda maybe and again I'm saying maybe in the same way that Joe Rogan was doing it. It's not really a question about the pedophile network it's more about reality has moved so much that what I would have considered absurdly unlikely is now right in the middle of maybe. Let me tell you I'm keeping an eye on it. There was a time when I wouldn't have clicked on a story on that topic because I was like ah but now I'll look. I'll give it a look anyway.

Let's see what else happened. So Joe Biden nibbled on babies if you didn't see it well you just have to see it. It was multiple babies one at a time he interacted with them and he put their feet in his mouth more than once. He put the baby's feet in his mouth. Now if you were worried about a giant pedophile network and you saw a man whose wife was dressed as a panda and he was nibbling on babies I don't know. I'm going to say maybe. Maybe.

And then you've got Biden calling Trump supporters garbage and then you've got the White House altering the transcript so it didn't look like he said that which would be a crime. Then you've got the best surrogate for the Harris campaign Mark Cuban who called women who support Trump weak and dumb. I think that's my favorite one. So Mark Cuban you know kind of steps into the breach because there really aren't that many Democrats who are as good at communicating so I think he was helping for a while.

And I'm going to say this about that. What he said about basically he said that Trump must be afraid of strong smart women because he's never ever has them around him. Now here's how I interpreted that. I just interpret it as trash talk. I didn't interpret that as he did a survey. I don't think he was giving IQ tests and I don't think he made a list on a spreadsheet and said let's see the ones closest to him where did they go to school. No I think it was just trash talk. And I would say that it's trash talk that sounds more like the NBA. Like if you came from the NBA I imagine their style of trash talk might be a little more off the cuff like whatever it is that makes you miss the foul shot is good trash talk. In politics you're going to get fact checked. You don't get fact checked if Michael Jordan tells somebody that they're going to miss their next shot. There's no fact checking. You can literally say whatever will make them miss the shot and get in their heads.

So when I was watching Mark Cuban come up with the ridiculous notion that Trump doesn't associate with strong women of course like every one of you immediately the images of all the strong women that he does associate with all the time jumps into my head and I'm thinking of the counterfactuals. But I suspect without being a mind reader that the worlds of trash talking got conflated. Something that would have been great NBA trash talk with no fact checking just to get inside somebody's head that didn't work when it becomes the headline for a week.

So I do not believe that if you talked privately to Mark Cuban that he would say yes 100% of all females who talk to Trump are weak and dumb. No he does not believe that in the real world. Was it something that just occurred to him like trash talk? Yes. And I think the same thing happened with Biden when he did his inartful oh only his Trump supporters are garbage. I think it's just because his brain connected the word garbage and he just thought he could be clever but he failed at being clever. I mean it didn't mean much. It's not like if you talk to Biden privately and you could give him a truth pill do you think he would tell you that all Trump supporters are garbage? No of course not. He doesn't believe that. It just sounded like a funny thing to say but it didn't work out.

So I think that the gaffes are not real but having lived through every Rupar edit you know the finding people hoax and on and on and on the fact that Republicans are treating these like they're absolutely true and saying exactly what Democrat said well I heard it with my own voice I heard it with my own ears hey here's the tape there it is they're saying it it must be true. I love it. I absolutely love that the Democrats are being taken down by Rupar edits in the last week of the election. Let me say it again. If there's one thing I love about this election it's that the last week before the vote the Democrats are getting taken down by Rupar edits. Perfect. Perfect. Thank you. The only thing I want more than that is to find some major election shenanigans that they catch and then I've got it all. That'll be running the table. That's a full house. Give it to me all. But man I'm happy about these Rupar edits.

All right but on the positive side Kamala Harris did get an endorsement from Bruce Springsteen who referred to her as Cala. So that was the good news she had for the week. Endorsed by an old rock star who didn't really know her name. So there's that.

Here are some things that Harris said today. She said that Trump will ban abortions. Not true. He said the opposite. Nationwide he said the opposite. He says stop access to birth control. Not true. He said the opposite. Threaten IVF. Not true. He says he's a huge supporter of IVF w

ants more of it. And he would follow Project 2025. Not true. He's not even related to it. So Harris has gone just complete lies. Now do you think that CNN will report wow she just told four gigantic whoppers in a row? No they won't of course not. Jake Tapper, whenever he makes news it's never a good thing. So he's going Jake Tapper is going after RFK Jr. because Trump said that he might let RFK J…
