ant whip him in return with the same whip. It has to be the same whip, the imaginary one. And so actually stage, put it on video, this guy tied to a tree, you know tying himself to a tree, and have a Haitian, get an actual Haitian, I'm sure you could find an actual Haitian to do it, right, if you pay him. Get an actual Haitian to stand there with nothing in his hand and pretend to whip him on vide…

All right. As Joel Pollak noted in a tweet, the Wall Street Journal has an article about it. Turns out that while Biden is saying that China is an adversary, blah blah blah, make things in America, that his, was it the secretary of commerce? Yeah, the commerce chief is trying to make more business with China. So Biden's commerce chief believes that the United States is best off by increasing the amount of business we do with China. Increasing it. Oh my God. Matt Gaetz just tweeted at me. Somebody says in the comments, I'll take a look at that in a minute. Let's see. Yeah so what are we supposed to make of the fact that Biden says yeah we're gonna make stuff in America, blah blah, but his commerce chief seems to be doing the opposite? Well let's agree that our government is probably corrupt in terms of China and certainly incompetent. We're watching it right in front of us. This is just rank incompetence. And so in those situations the public has to take charge.
Now there are very few things that I'm perfectly suited for. For example if you said, "Scott can you sit in with this band and play drums because I know you're learning the drums," and I would say, you know I'm really bad at that. You really don't want me to try that. If you said to me, "Scott I'd like you to play center for our basketball team," I'd say to you, hmm, not your best choice of personnel. I might not be your first choice to play center in the basketball. But if you need somebody to embarrass the living fuck out of some American corporation that would dare to start new business in China, now call me. Call me. All right? Pick somebody else to be your center on your basketball team. Pick somebody else to be the general contractor on your house. Pick somebody else to be your lawyer and your doctor. I can't do that stuff. But if there's an American company that wants to do new business in China, I'm not talking about the ones that are already there, they've got a different set of problems, but a new company, just let me know. Let me know. I will take care of that for you. I will personally make sure that that's a bad idea for whatever company announces it wants to do business in China. So let me do that. Let me do that for you. I will handle this for you. All right? It's a promise.
Are you following the Theranos, is it if I'm pronouncing right, Theranos case? This was the founder who basically was just a fraudulent company and they said they were going to do these cheap blood tests that would find all kinds of things easily. And apparently it was all fraud. But here's what is interesting. James Mattis invested $85,000 in this company, was on the board. James Mad Dog Mattis. Now correct me if I'm wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump fire James Matti

s for being stupid? That happened, right? I mean that wasn't that? Give me a fact check on here. Didn't Trump say out loud that Mattis was dumb? He did, right? So Mattis, the guy that we trusted to make our most important military decisions, invested in the biggest fraudulent company of I don't know, last 20 years. I don't think I have a lot of confidence in his generaling. He feels like the kind…
