em and say here's the deal. We are literally going to trust you with our lives. We are going to trust you with the fate of the republic, Bob, or whatever their names are. Bob, we're looking at you. Do not sign that piece of paper, Bob or whoever, unless you're willing to put your life on it that this is a good decision. Nobody's magic. We can't, you can't be right all the time. But we're watching, Bob. We gotta have that going. And we don't have that right now.

All right. I feel like the loser sucker hoax is already dying from neglect. That will just be replaced by the Michael Cohen book, which will be replaced by something next week. So it looks like the whole loser sucker thing just fell apart. And here's the rule that I would like to put on this, which is if somebody makes several claims, whether it's the Steele dossier or it's the Atlantic article, and there's a major claim within there that can be debunked, you're done. You don't need to debunk the rest of them. If you can determine that one of them is clearly a lie and clearly a lie that somebody knew was a lie, you don't need to talk about the rest of it. Walk away and just say it's debunked. Walk away. Now the word that CNN used for debunked is confirmed. So they just put different words on things. So CNN itself confirmed that the story about why the one event was canceled because of weather, they've also confirmed that that's not true. They too should say and therefore the entire body of work is disqualified. But they don't.

All right. I was thinking about ways that the protests could be handled or solved, and I was throwing out some ideas on Twitter. Let me run a few of these by you. Well let me do some whiteboarding for you. I just noticed that my lighting is terrible. I still have my lights, my curtains up. Excuse me while I put down my curtains and improve things a little bit. I want to go to the whiteboard here because I don't think most people know what Black Lives Matter or Antifa even want. So here's my model of the world. So before you can argue anything or persuade, you have to get people in a common frame or understanding of the world. I would say Democrats are favorable to Antifa and to Black Lives Matter so far. Would you say that that is true? That the Democrats don't really criticize, of course they don't criticize Black Lives Matter, but even Antifa, to the extent that Antifa are part of the protests, Democrats are sort of on their side.

What does Antifa want? How many Americans know what Antifa wants? If you ask them they'd say they want an end to racism. Does Antifa want an end to racism? Who knows, it might be part of what they want. But what they really want is the destruction of civilization. Now they don't word it that way. What they say is we want to get rid of all government and all police. Let's say they were successful. Let's say Antifa got rid of all government and all law enforcement. What would be the obvious undeniable outcome of that? Well we would be conquered by any other country that wanted to because we would be a sitting duck. Anybody could conquer us. But beyond that, if we had no centralized government of any kind we would just devolve into sort of a tribal situation. You wouldn't have entrepreneurship. You wouldn't have anything because if anybody worked and made money they would have to immediately share it or they would be attacked by the masses to take their stuff. So there's no doubting this, that what Antifa wants is the end of civilization. They pretty much say it as directly as I do. They just don't fill in the blanks like I did, which is what would happen if you got what you wanted. It would be the end of civilization. There's no argument to that. That's just what it would have to be because they do not account for human motivation. It would be great if humans could all share and still work hard and they would still have motivation and you didn't need a government because we were all so nice that we would just agree on things. But that's not the real world. In the real world if you disband your military the country next to you conquers you in 10 minutes. That's the real world.

Now let's take Black Lives Matter. They do not want an end of civilization. So it's weird that they're on the same team. What they want is to take your stuff, meaning anybody who's not Black, and to solve systemic racism by a transfer of wealth. Now if you ask them would they say that? Does Black Lives Matter say yeah what we'd like to do is solve systemic racism by taking your stuff and giving it to Black people? They kind of do. They kind of do say that. Because what would reparations be? Reparations would be taking things and redistributing them. What would any of socialism be? Socialism, you know, 90 tax rates. The things they're talking about would be taking things that legally belong to other people. But here's the key, maybe not morally. That would be their argument. So the Black Lives Matter argument would be yeah, yeah, you white people and other people have a lot of stuff but you wouldn't have that stuff if not for slavery. So really even though the law says it's your stuff it's not really morally your stuff. So we're just gonna adjust things until they're morally comparable. And that would require a change in the law perhaps or legislation or whatever.

So what happens if you have a system that's based on transferring resources from people who make it and have it to people who aren't making it and don't have it? The end of civilization. There's no other way that goes. Either it looks different because they're not thinking about the end state. They're just thinking about can we solve systemic racism and this would be the way to do it, some kind of a transfer of wealth. It all ends in the same place. It ends with a destruction of civilization. Now why don't the Republicans make that case? I don't know. That's what I'd do.

Here's what the Republicans are offering or could. They're offering school choice in all of its forms under the theory that if you've got a school choice you at least have the opportunity to make something of your life. Can't guarantee it. Nobody's guaranteeing you good outcomes. But at least you have the opportunity. I would argue however that there's a missing component. And the missing component is that no matter what school you choose they're probably not teaching you life strategies. They're not telling you how to succeed. And my belief is this. The people who use similar strategies in life get similar outcomes. If you're Black and you get A's in school, you don't join a gang, you don't do drugs, you probably could get a scholarship to college. How is your life going to turn out? Pretty good. Pretty good. If you're white and you're born with let's say white privilege but you do drugs, do crimes and go to jail, you know get your 14-year-old girlfriend pregnant and don't pay attention in school, how does your life turn out? Does it turn out great because of all your white privilege? No. Turns out terrible
