t the LA Times when Dilbert was in newspapers before I got canceled, the LA Times was the only one that was canceling Dilbert or editing it, censoring it actually. LA Times was the only newspaper that routinely censored Dilbert back in the days when Dilbert ran in every newspaper. The LA Times would just sometimes just not run one and it got so it was just laughably predictable. I do a comic that was just a little bit edgy but still rated G because you can't really get past G in a newspaper. It's still rated G and the LA Times would say oh can't say that. Every other newspaper would say yes. So I'm very up on this new owner. It looks like he's trying to do a serious job of improving the newspaper and they certainly needed it.

Well I read I think it was in The Hill. They had a story about the Democrat bench for 2028. I'll tell you when you look at what the smart people think are their best next politicians for running for president it doesn't look like they have a chance. So here are the names that are floating as their best candidates. Kamala Harris. Seriously, literally the worst campaign of all time and she's running first. Gavin Newsom. Seriously Gavin Newsom. He's like right at the top of your list after destroying California. Gretchen Whitmer, Josh Shapiro, Pete Buttigieg, and J.B. Pritzker. Do you think any one of those could be a capable Republican? I can name I don't know probably 10 Republicans who could be any one of these people. Am I wrong about that? Am I wrong that there have to be at least 10 prominent Republicans that could be everyone on this list? These are not competitive. I don't think Democrats have any understanding of what would even make their side competitive. And the entertainment which I'm getting in watching them not understand anything. They don't understand anything. It's really amazing.

And I'm looking at some of your comments. Those are weird. Fetterman. You know what I don't think the Democrats would push Fetterman to the front of the line. He may be a little bit of a problem because he doesn't obey the Democrats enough. But if Fetterman wanted to take a run at it he would be the one I'd worry about. I don't want to give advice to the Democrats but if I heard that Fetterman was running for president in the next cycle I would say that's a problem. Yeah now AOC has been mentioned. I don't that doesn't seem serious to me. I can't imagine she would even win the primary. But Fetterman could really fool everybody because he does have the common touch and he doesn't seem to be willing to lie when everybody else is. And I hate to say that's a really attractive combination. You know he is smart. I mean it was hard to tell when he had his stroke but he's an unusually smart person and he clearly cares about the country and clearly cares about people and he clearly is smarter than the average Democrat. And he sees that there are some things that Republicans see that he says that makes sense. You can perfectly understand why the Republicans would feel this way. So he's the only one who seems to have anything close to an understanding of what's happening.

I think Fetterman knows exactly what's wrong. That the Democrats act like woke idiots. The Republicans acted like problem solvers. And we were not in a place where acting like a woke idiot was a luxury we could afford. It was once at one point it was a luxury we could afford. Not anymore. Now you just need the solution to the problems. So it was never to me it never seemed like they were a close competition even though the vote was closer than I thought it should be.

What if RFK goes back to the Democrat Party? I don't think RFK Jr. has a chance in a race like that. He's got so many points of attack that I think he's serious about having one mission left like he has his one mission: fix the food. And I have high hopes that he will.

I see you got a copy of "Loserthink." I don't know how you got it. It's no longer for sale. It was one of my canceled books so you must have got one of the used copies. But maybe at some point I'll reissue that.

Democrats do not allow an independent thinker. Yeah true that.

All right so I'll tell you again if you don't have your Dilbert calendar ordered just go to Dilbert.com and that's the only place you'll find the link to order it. You will not find that link anywhere else. It's not on Amazon. It's not on bookstores, not in Walmart. But the books are — my books make excellent gifts. They change lives. Yeah the first two, "Reframe Your Brain" and "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big," those are total life changers. I hear it every day and I guarantee it. By the way if I weren't hearing it every single day I wouldn't say that but every day I hear people say oh changed my whole life. So it's a good gift if you want to change somebody's life.

Hey you got a lot of calendars there. If AOC is married and if she had children would she be a better politician? Um maybe. Loop speak. The media will pump up the chosen. Yeah but I don't know if the media has the ability to drag a bad candidate over the finish line anymore. They did with Biden but it looked like they couldn't with Harris. Maybe she was just extra bad. But it does seem that the rise of the podcasters is a real thing. It's going to last for a while.

All right ladies and gentlemen that's all I got for today. I'm going to talk to the locals people privately in a moment and I'll see the rest of you tomorrow. Thanks for joining on YouTube and X and Rumble. We'll see you tomorrow. Same time, same place. Locals I'm coming at you in 30 seconds.
