e simultaneous sip.

All right. As promised, I'm gonna take some calls. Any topic you like. The only thing you can't be is long-winded and boring. Got it? So it can be any topic, though I'd probably stop you if it's something X-rated. But it can be any topic, any criticism. It just can't be long-winded or boring.

Let's see. We're looking for somebody who's looking for a fight. I'm gonna prefer people who show a picture. So let's add Tucson. Tucson, that may have worked. Tucson, can you hear me? Did I pronounce your name anywhere near correctly?

Yes, Toussaint. That's exactly what I said. Perfect. All right. What is your question for me?

I have a question regarding, because I read your book "Win Bigly" and you talked about the movies in your head. Yes, and all the movies told you that Trump was gonna win. Correct. But you recently said that the movies in your head were telling you that Kamala was gonna win. But now she's on the ropes.

No. So I've made predictions based on different strategies for predicting. So when I've used persuasion as the primary variable, when there was something special about the situation where that one variable stood out, which is rare, normally everything is a multi... I'm trying to keep my cables away from my cat who's going crazy. Normally there would be lots of variables and you'd have to assess them all and that's difficult.

In the case of Trump running for president, his toolbox of skills was so extraordinary it was sort of like watching somebody go to a stick fight but instead of bringing a stick you brought a flamethrower. So in that very special case it was a mismatch. So that's what allowed me to call that correctly.

Now in the case of Kamala, I did not make any predictions based on her persuasion because I didn't really know what it was. I hadn't really watched her enough to know if she had any persuasion game. Turns out she doesn't. She has no persuasion game. One of the worst I've ever seen in a politician.

I was basing that entirely on what the Democrats would think would be their best chance to win, which would be somebody who checked enough boxes. You know, senator, California, a woman, person of color, had some experience as a senator, who was young enough. So it was a demographic call.

The only way that I saw that that could go wrong was one of the ways that it went wrong. So either something weird had happened and she'd pull it down, then I'd be wrong. And of course you can't predict that. The other thing that I suppose I should have been more aware of, but I didn't see coming, you know, I had a blind spot for it, is I really didn't imagine any candidate who could be that bad. It's actually, it just jumps off the page when I see her in public. I think, oh that's worse than every person who did an interview on every news station today. Every pundit, every senator, every Congress person, every non-political person who was just a pundit. A hundred percent of them do better every time they appear on TV than Kamala does any time she appears on TV.

I was a local on Twitter and I hate to see pictures of her laughing. It's so unpresidential. It's crazy. And I don't know if she has any friends or advisers who can tell her directly, it's your cackle. You got to get rid of the cackle. That doesn't work for anybody.

Did I answer your question?

Yes. Thank you very much.

All right. Thank you.

Yeah, and we will look for another guest. And don't be afraid of being a critic. Looking at your pictures, looking for whoever looks like they might be contentious.

So Alexander coming at me. Who apparently Alexander has left. He's left the building. Let's go for Richard. Richard, come at me. Can you hear me?

Don't worry yet. Do you have a question for me?

Well I'm wondering about Adam Schiff and his testimony the other day. Wouldn't that be perjury unless he like laid out that it was parody before he did it or after he did
