made this the biggest story then they're pretty incompetent. This is the biggest story. This is everything. Trump just won January 6. He won it in a knockout. It's a knockout. Jamie Raskin just said he'd do the same thing Trump would do. You said it on live TV. You said it clearly. You said it unambiguously. There was no gray area. He said if it doesn't look real he's not going to accept it. Exactly what Trump did.

Now you might say but who gets to decide whether it looks real enough? And the answer is we all do. We all get to decide if it looks real enough. Jamie Raskin is going to make his decision and he gets to do that. Trump made his decision. He gets to do that. I made my decision. I get to do that. There's nobody above us for our opinions, right? Nobody above us. So if the public doesn't like the result apparently Jamie Raskin and Trump are on the same page that you shouldn't accept it. This is the biggest news of the year because it came from Jamie Raskin and it just completely frees Trump from all these allegations. Now only if the Republican-leaning press knows how to handle it. If they let this go and the day goes by and tomorrow goes by and nobody mentioned that the whole January 6 narrative completely fell apart, completely, well then I'd be pretty disappointed. But this should be the end of it. This should be a resounding Trump victory after this. We'll see.

And this is also something that I was wondering about. So the Democrats were doing that saving democracy message and one of the guests on Bill Maher also was doing, well you know we should worry about the important things like saving democracy. To which I thought at what point was an average person worried about losing democracy? They're worried about paying for gas and college and stuff like that. But that was never real. The whole saving democracy thing. And once you hear Jamie Raskin say that he would not accept an election that looks sketchy to him we can throw away this whole democracy is at risk too. That's also gone. That's gone. Because if you get to decide what democracy looks like and it's just your opinion, well democracy is already gone. So I don't think it ever made sense that democracy was at risk and I don't think the public bought that but some percentage, 25% probably, bought it.

Compliments to Bill Maher because he found he was annoyed and he should have been that his team was trying to turn that Liz Cheney thing into saying that Trump wanted her to be shot by a firing squad. Now that didn't happen. The context was he said she was a war hawk and you know she's sending people to have guns pointed at them but she wouldn't love it if it happened to her. So of course it was all fake news. So Bill Maher to his credit called it down unambiguously as fake news. Now I like that because you could imagine that he could have said something like well you know in the context of the other things he said stuff like that. One of the other guests tried that and it just sounded stupid. But he was just unambiguously saying stop, stop just lying about stuff. It's not helping that my own team is making such an obvious lie.

Now I like that. He also mocked Kamala Harris for going to the black barber shop. He had a good joke about that. But I'd like to return the favor. So Bill Maher, thank you for standing up for honesty even if your team is hurt by it.

But I heard a story yesterday that I didn't believe so I didn't look into it and then I did look into it and then I found out oh that's why I didn't believe it. It was so stupid that obviously it was fake. So there's a story that Tim Walz insulted Elon Musk by calling him gay in public. First of all as Elon Musk is fast to point out it's not an insult to be called gay. It's 2024 people. It's just not an insult. Musk got exactly the right answer. It's like that's not an insult. That would be a statement of something that's either true or false. That's all it is. And that's the good news. It's the good news that in 2024 smart people can say that's not an insult.

But then I listened to what Walz said and what he said was he meant to say guy but he slurred it and said gay. And then when he realized it came in as gay instead of guy he joked and said Michigan knows what that word means. And then Republicans took "Michigan knows what that word means" to suggest that he was suggesting that it was an insult to be called gay. Nobody in the world believes that Tim Walz thinks it's an insult to be called gay. Can we be a little bit realistic? No he did not say that Michigan thinks that being gay is bad. It's the opposite. Michigan knows what that word means means that people in Michigan are completely okay with gay. They know what it means. It's just nothing. There's nothing to it. He laughed it off. This is not a real thing. He did not call anybody gay and he definitely didn't think there was anything wrong with being gay. That didn't happen.

So I do this in the spirit of Bill Maher was willing to say his team was lying. I think this is Republicans just lying.

And even Jake Tapper, Breitbart News is reporting this, Jake Tapper fact-checked Harris for some of her lies which you would think oh that's a good sign for CNN but I'm going to tell you it's not in a moment. But here's what he said. He said they had two tiny little fact checks because Harris said did everyone hear that Trump said yesterday that he will do what he wants quote and here's what I'm going to quote do whether the women like it or not. So Harris is saying he's going to do things to women whether they like it or not. And then she says must vote. This is the thing. You know there's a saying that you have to listen to people when they tell you who they are and this is not the first time he has told us who he is. He does not believe women should have the agency and authority to make decisions about their own bodies.

So even Jake Tapper couldn't take that. Goes two tiny little fact checks. First of all she keeps referring to the Trump proposal on tariffs as a sales tax. It's not a sales tax. You can dispute tariffs but not whether it's a sales tax. And the second thing is when Trump said he was going to do something for women whether they like it or not he was talking about protecting women. And certainly you can take issue with language but he wasn't saying he was just going to do whatever he wanted regardless. He was going to protect them.

Now you would say to yourself hey that's a good sign. That's CNN doing a real fact check on Kamala Harris. Is it? I'm going to go the opposite direction. I think this is CNN protecting themselves so they can say hey we did a fact check. But what they don't do is the real ones. So they don't do January 6 was not a real insurrection. They don't do the fine people hoax was a hoax. They don't do the drinking bleach that was a hoax. They don't do the other 20 hoaxes. No they'll fact check these little ones that you knew were not true because you knew they were not true. But if you can't tell if it's true well they're going to sell it to you as true if it's good for them. So don't take this as good news. Take this as covering their ass in case somebody says but you've never fact-checked the other side. But yeah we did. We said that tariffs are not a sales tax. You knew that. We all knew it.

All right. CNN is pointing out that Trump is seeming to do a better job getting both Muslim Americans and Jewish Americans to vote for him which is a hell of a thing. I think it was Jo
