yes, and you saw a bunch of yeses. Yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes. But the more nos you saw, it very quickly collapsed reality until the only answer you were seeing was no at the end. Did you see that in real time? It was exactly like the experiment. As soon as the people who said yes could observe that the people that they would consider peers essentially were, or t…

You might actually have Supreme Court nominees who are male who are aware of nothing that's a problem in their life, just say, I don't want to lose my marriage. You know, there might be people who are nominated for the Supreme Court who are male and they talk to their family and the wife says, look, if you go through this nomination process, our marriage is going to be just totally screwed because somebody is gonna come forward. That's how it works now. Those are the new rules.
So I don't know. I don't know if men can run for office. I can tell you that in my case I would not run for president in the current situation. I wasn't planning on it anyway. But if I were, let's say if I thought like, well I would win if I ran for president, I would definitely win. But by the way, how many of you think that if I ran for president I would win? And let's say not against Trump, because I couldn't possibly win against Trump. How many of you think that after I ran in 2024 I could win if I was just all in? I just wondered. It looks like you're... I just split, but a lot of people think I could.
So the reason that I predicted that Trump would win was based on his skill set, not on his policies. My skill set is not as good as his, but if I ran for president it would be better than whoever I ran against. So I would have the best skill set in the competition by far. It wouldn't even be close. But that's not all it takes. You still need a lot of other qualities. All right, I'm not gonna run, so it doesn't matter anyway.
I would say, I hate to say this but I'm gonna say it anyway. If you're a man and you're being considered for the Supreme Court or running for president, it's probably a bad decision. It's probably a bad decision, because you're gonna be ruined. Trump is a unique character because it doesn't seem to matter what we learn about his past. It just doesn't make any difference. I think Kanye would have the same quality. Now if you found out things about his past, you'd say, well it wasn't a big surprise. Oh, me and Candace, that would be an interesting package. Imagine me running for president with Candace Owens as my vice president candidate. I think Candace would have one problem with that plan. What would Candace's problem be? What problem would she have being on a ticket with me, me as president and her as vice president? Because yeah, it should be turned around. She should be running for president, but it'll give her a few years before she's ready.
All right, he would have to choose a party. What, I would have to choose a party? And I could win in neither party? Now that's not true. That used to be true, but now it's not true. I could win as a Republican, but I couldn't win as a Democrat. Short and bald. Sorry, those days are over. You know, the height and the hair used to make a bigger difference, but now persuasion tools are more important, I

think. All right, that's all I've got to say for now. I'm gonna let you go and get back to your day. Get back to your day. Nice talking to you. Bye for now.
