mething or done something or made an impact. Maybe. But I haven't seen a photograph of any of this. I haven't seen a witness. I'm not so sure that there's a cyberattack.

Now my god, so there could be no better indication that we're in or approaching or in some kind of golden age than I think historians will look back at with more clarity because they won't have all the personalities to worry about. You know time will go by. But if we're arguing about invisible flaws with the president who may be attacking another country in an invisible way that shows no evidence that we can actually observe, then we're in a pretty good place. All our problems and even our solutions are invisible lately.

Here's a, I want to run an idea past you. I want you to hold in your mind a picture of Eric Swalwell. Well, okay, got it. Now next to the mental picture of Eric Swalwell, just hold it in your mind, Eric Swalwell. Now make another mental picture side by side of Amy Klobuchar. Is it my imagination or does Eric Swalwell look like Amy Klobuchar with a different haircut? I'm just gonna put that out there. Doesn't mean anything.

All right. So Pelosi, Speaker Pelosi, tweeted that she wants to get going on comprehensive immigration reform because the president has delayed, apparently by two weeks, the rounding up of people who fall into some special category of being in the country illegally. I think it's people who skipped court appearances and stuff. And so she's saying yeah let's get going with comprehensive immigration reform. To which I say I'm glad we've got two weeks to get that done. How long should it take? One week? One week, right? Because we know all the parts. It's not like there's a big mystery of what do people want to do, what are the potential solutions. We sort of know what all that looks like. We either we just want to do it or not do it.

And it seems to me that, I'm speculating now because I think it's too early to say, but what it looks like is that if you go back in time not too far, President Trump was saying hey I want to round up people and deport them in various times and various different plans and various statements. And it was generally thought that that was way over the line. In other words most of the country said don't do that, don't do that dude, don't do that. That would be too cruel to people who had been illegal immigrants but had become good citizens and lived good lives otherwise. That was too far and it did seem like that.

But is it my imagination or has all of the ugliness with the whatever you want to call them, the detention centers, all of the ugliness with the caravans, the number of people coming over, is it my imagination or has all of that ugliness which sort of made the president look right because he was trying to decrease incentives to come here but outside of his control the laws of this nation actually created great incentives to come here. And as those incentives were causing more and more people to come here it seemed as if the president was being proven right.

It also seems that even though Democrats like to use the detention centers at the border as a club to beat the president, I also think that everyone who uses that as a club against the president also understands that the reason these people are coming in the first place is that our laws are broken, which is what the president has been saying the whole time.

So it feels to me like the president's latest threat to start rounding people up, which I think was a more limited roundup limited to those people who had gone through some processing and promised to come back but then skipped out on their court dates, I guess I think that's the situation or something similar to it. It seems to me that the public has sort of felt a shift on this. It seems to me that the public now understands that there isn't any way to just keep going the way we're going. In other words it's obvious now that the current set of laws is just gonna bring in so many people that whatever we build in terms of humane processing centers, detention centers, no matter what we throw at it, it would just attract more people until it's overwhelmed.

So for example if you could snap your fingers and double the resources, double the funding at the border, how long would that last? Because people would find out look those bad detention centers, or they didn't have a blanket for everybody, the kids who are not taken care of and there was no air conditioning. They fixed all that. Now they got these great tents with air conditioning. Kids get free blankets and food. It's better than the way we were living before. I can't wait to get to one of those detention centers.

So the one thing that Democrats consistently get wrong, and it's weird because I don't see anybody calling them out for this specifically, what Democrats consistently get wrong is incentive. It seems like every single policy bad idea the Democrats have has the same problem. It's not even a different problem. Everyone ignores that humans act like human beings.

The Democrats, to their credit, to their credit Democrats and people on the left appear to exhibit more empathy. At least exhibit, I don't know if they feel more empathy. I have no reason to believe their inner thoughts are different from anybody else's. But at least outwardly they express more empathy for the people who are in the worst situations. I respect that. I want to live in a world where people have great empathy for people who are in trouble. That's the world you want to live in.

But the problem is that's a goal. Having a good outcome for everybody is a goal. But goals are not very effective compared to systems. I talk about this all the time. The best thing you can do sometimes is have the best system and then the outcome is whatever the outcome is. But it's the best system you could come up with. The alternative doesn't work. Whereas you have a goal and you say the goal is everybody is treated humanely. But the moment you start that goal and even if you get success toward that goal, the system is broken. So the goal breaks the system.

As soon as you say the goal is to treat everybody who comes into the country illegally, treat them really well, you get more of them until you run into money or the system is overwhelmed. Republicans consistently get the system right. You know capitalism is better than socialism at least in the extreme sense. Not in the specific individual cases of health care etc. necessarily. So look for that.

Democrats continuously have good goals but Republicans have systems that recognize people operate on incentives. And I haven't seen, correct me if I'm wrong, have you seen any Republicans say what I just said as directly as I just said it? Has anybody ever told that message that way? Because whenever I say this I feel as though I don't get any pushback. I don't get any pushback. Somebody says yesterday Dan Crenshaw said this. Reagan did. Oh you know I'm not aware of that but Reagan might have. If he did that was pretty smart. Somebody says Republicans say it all the time. You know I don't think they say it as succinctly as I said it and it matters how you say it and how effectively you say it.

So if you were to say it, and it's very effective to say that your opposition, let's say you're Republican and your opposition is Democrats, it's very effective to praise them for doing something that at least on the conceptual level is praiseworthy and then at the same time say but this is an effective, it's good that you think that way but it's not a good system. It's very effective.

So I think a Republican who said you know Democrats have excellent goals. Their goals are so good that I share them. I would like to see great outcomes for everybody. I'd like to see poverty eliminated. I'd like to see the best health care at the lowest cost. I like every goal that Democrats have. What they don't have is a system to get there. We have systems. We don't know we can get all the way to where these goals are but we know that the system is going to get the closest. And if you don't account for human incentives you don't have a good system.

Now if I ran for president and I said what I just said I don't think I would lose. I mean I think I could run for president today and say what I just said and people would just say oh crap that makes sense. Because people don't want to give up their goals and they don't want to be told they're wrong for having them because they know damn well they're right. They know that this empathy, this feeling for their other human beings is biologically right, morally right, ethically right. They know they're right. They just don't know how to get there.

And I think it's important to acknowledge their rightness because it's very right. It's as right as you can get. Wanting to be good to other people, this is the ultimate right. Nothing is more right than that. So arguing against it even indirectly without mentioning it specifically, even indirectly arguing against that is weak.

All right. I don't think there's much going on today. All right I think that I'm gonna have to take some questions because otherwise we would be done too early. Somebody says you're boring. Well lucky for you you got blocked and you don't have to listen to it anymore. Yay.

Did you see the video? I think I just tweeted it of Joe Biden confused about what stays in and then get all confused about some numbers. I mean he seemed lost and old and like he doesn't have any chance. So I think I'm gonna take some questions in a minute if anybody wants to come in to ask me a question.

But let me review the Democrat challengers. Number one Joe Biden leading in the polls. I say does not have a chance of getting the nomination. So my prediction is Joe Biden no chance of getting nominated because it seems to me that even his own team can tell that he doesn't have the goods and I think that the more they see him the more that will be obvious. There's not a chance he
