t the door because Bob is not smart. It's been my observation that all smart people tend to think alike rationally. It's definitely genetic. Now I will say, though, that if you're starting with a smart person, you can definitely teach them some extra tools such as how to spot fake news. That's useful, right? I've been teaching most of you how to do that, and most of you do know. So you often say…

So how much pleasure do you think I get watching the thing I got canceled for become illegal? A lot. It's satisfying on a level that you can barely understand. But I'll always be remembered as the guy who made the racist rant because the news is fake, history is fake, the history books are fake, and mostly what the AI will tell you in the future will be fake, unfortunately.
The other thing I'll be remembered for is a thing that definitely didn't happen, which is all of my opinions about the pandemic being reversed. So one of the things I'm most proud of is that I had the best opinions in the pandemic of any public figure by far. It wasn't even close. Most people believe that my opinions were the opposite of what they were. So people believe I was promoting vaccines. No, that never happened, not once. And so I'll be remembered for two things that definitely didn't happen in any real world. But that's the fate of public figures. You get remembered for the opposite of whatever you were doing.
Anyway, the big story of the day is that Trump is trying to cancel the pardons that Biden made. They were made with the autopen. Now the autopen is what presidents use to sign things when they're not physically available but things that they've agreed to. So there's nothing sketchy about it the way it's been used in the past. However, given what we know about Biden's administration and given what we know about his mental acuity at the time and given that there were some last-minute pardons, it's not clear that Biden even knew they happened.
So does Trump have a good case? Well, the smart thing that Trump is doing and has consistently done is he says, well, if the courts disagree, then we'll follow the court. And that's very disarming. It's very non-dictator, and that's what he's doing here. So he's taking a run at it. That doesn't mean he'll succeed. So the Supreme Court could say no, autopen counts, you know, there's nothing you can do about it otherwise, blah blah blah. So I've got a feeling he has no better than, I don't know. Since I don't know much about the court or how it would rule, I'm going to say 50 percent chance that it will stick.
But boy, has this got to be scary to what he calls the unselect group, the people who ran the what I would consider the fake impeachment things or the fake January 6 stuff. And they do have some explaining to do, and there's a good reason that they wanted their pardons. So this one's getting really dicey. Getting really dicey because if Trump succeeds in undoing the pardons because of the autopen, Adam Schiff's probably going to jail, Liz Cheney probably going to jail, because I do believe that the legal system would find that they did some pretty illegal things. So at the very least they would be destroyed by the legal process, which would be gigantically burdenso

me. And my feeling about a lot of this stuff is that — and Lindsey Graham did the best explanation on a news show — that once you look at the context of what these same people did to Trump, they tried to destroy him politically, they tried to destroy his entire business, they tried to destroy his family, and they tried to put him in jail for the rest of his life. They did much the same to people…
