least the news will report it that way. Ukraine seems to be a stalemate so we just stopped thinking about it. His disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan happened so early in the term that we're already forgetting about it. Employment looks pretty good. Employment looks pretty good. And he's starting to do some Trump-like things like build a little bit of the wall and maybe promoting the Abraham Ac…

Why didn't Trump legalize marijuana? I don't know but my only assumption is that he's just so anti-drug that he just can't get there. That's my guess but I don't know. It's just pure speculation because I can't read his mind. But there's no, I don't believe there's any argument he's ever made. I've never heard him make an argument one way or the other about legalizing marijuana. Yeah I think he just doesn't like any of that business period. And while I disagree with him on that point it's not a terrible position to take. But I think it would be consistent with Republicans to at least get the federal government out of that business. So why he didn't do that I think would just be a mistake. How about that? Can I just say that's just a clean mistake on Trump's part to not at least make some motion to legalize it because he always had the cover that it's up to the states and that would be the most consistent thing any Republican ever said.
So there are several topics which I would say Trump failed completely at. He failed completely on fentanyl, completely right. There's no, I can't give him any. I thought he took a run at it but he failed. I'll give him credit for taking a run at it. I think he failed on health care. I think he failed on prescription drugs. I think he didn't get the wall built. You could say that was his failure. That was Congress maybe. Yeah I would say there's all kinds of things that he just unambiguously failed at. But compared to the alternative, what was the other candidate going to succeed at all that? I don't know. Maybe.
Scott is messing with your hesitance. Well I'm not trying to do that right now. Completely disagree with marijuana. Well it's up to Congress to change the laws, correct. But the leader of the United States should be weighing in. And if Trump had said I will sign it if you send it to me I would have loved to hear that but it didn't happen.
All right, I have standards when it comes to Trump but none for Joe. What the are you talking about? How did you watch this podcast and say that I have standards for Trump and not for Biden? Because I've never criticized Biden? Biden hasn't fixed the border. He messed up energy. Have you missed me criticizing Biden? Are you kidding? Really? You're a member of the Locals subscription service which means you have enough interest in my content that you subscribe to it and you've never heard me criticize Biden? I just gave Biden a long list of kudos. Did I? I just said he did things for his side. Are you disagreeing with the factual statement because the people on his side are saying thank you for that. We like this bill. We're going to vote for it, right?
Oh man you guys got to grow up. You got to grow up. So somebody on YouTube is saying I'm sounding pro-Biden. You know you're too dumb to be on this podcast. You're sounding pro-Biden today. All right I'm gonna delete you. Honestly if you think this is pro-Biden you're too dumb to be with us. Let's just increase the IQ. Get rid of those people. Anybody else? Does anybody else think that saying the good and the bad of both people is taking sides? Is anybody so stupid that they think showing the pros and cons of something is taking a side? Anybody? Because I'd like to get rid of some more idiots. I really don't want to be talking to people who are too dumb to understand that. If you can't understand that you are too dumb to be here. Just go watch, I won't name names. I was just going to name names but I don't think I will because I'm not mad at them right now.
Yes in all capitals. So Wall Street says in all capitals you did say things are going in the right direction. Yes because that's what the data says. All right so I'm gonna hide you from this channel.
All right anybody else? Dwayne Kate says when Scott I have to yell talk it because this is not all caps. When Scott talks Ukraine it makes me enraged but I'm respectful of alternative opinions. Why did you put that in caps? Okay that one's acceptable. All right so that's acceptable even with the capital letters. I'm gonna let that go because he's angry at what I'm saying but he's at least accepting that an alternative opinion might have some value. Okay very good. For a moment there I was going to go off on you but that pulled me back from the edge.
Carl writes in all caps. Here's a sentence in all caps. Carl, I don't care about the Breonna Taylor cops. Isn't there a story about the Breonna Taylor, the cops who falsified some paperwork? If they did then they need to pay for that. I mean I don't generally like to spend too much time on the individual crime stories. I feel like there's not enough there and the news handles that.
All right, put a cap in it. Butter your bacon I'm being told. All right, what about loud noises? All right some of you I think come just for the blocking. Is it my imagination or the top three spokespeople for the Biden administration incapable of speaking at least coherently? Their current spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, is she one of the worst that we've seen? I think she's one of the worst just in terms of communication skills. I think she's one of the worst. Biden is terrible and then Kamala Harris is a nightmare. But have we ever seen the three top speakers for the administration having no communication skills whatsoever? Let me just be terrible at it.
Christopher Wray and Cruz. Is Tom Cruise going after the FBI? All right is there any stories I missed here? Who's really running things? Yes we do wonder. Do I let trolls troll me? Sometimes the trolls are just energy. Sometimes I feed on them. My mascots I call them. Stocks are down. Yeah. Oh yeah Kari Lake was a confirmed winner in Arizona. Can somebody explain to me why they thought that the Kari Lake primary might be rigged? Why would they think that one was rigged? The thinking was that the Democra

ts would cleverly try to get the less qualified Republican elected. I don't know. Do they bother rigging that when they could just rig the ultimate thing if they were going to rig? Which I'm not alleging. Tesla's gonna split three to one. Yeah all right. Yes Blake Masters looks like he has a good shot for the Senate. Do you think democracy has been redefined to mean bureaucracy? Yeah I don't thin…
