he intelligence agencies would miss this opportunity to do the most obvious thing that they routinely do, which is to get the top racist sort of working on their team? If you were the government and you wanted to find out where all the racists were in the country, how would you do it? How would you find all the racists? Well, you might find somebody who appeals to that group of people and then get close to them and find out who's on their list. And then once you have the mailing list and the people who watch Nick Fuentes the most, you have an entire database of people with a certain philosophy, and they're the ones you want to watch if you're the government.

So you don't think that intelligence and FBI law enforcement, you don't think they've tried to penetrate the Nick Fuentes organization, the Groypers? I have no information that they have. Right, there's no evidence that has happened. But you don't think they tried? Why wouldn't they? It's literally what they do for a living. They literally try to infiltrate groups exactly like that. So they know what's happening, and wouldn't you want them to? Don't you want them to penetrate all those groups? Well, you don't want them to be inciting violence within those groups, but you'd want them to penetrate them just to keep an eye on things, just in case there's something going on there that's going to get dangerous.

So what are the odds that Ye and Fuentes met each other organically? Somebody says I'm FBI. What are the odds they met each other organically? The first thing I would do is I would ask them, because you know there isn't Ye and Fuentes. They're both accessible to the press, are they not? Can't you just reach them and ask them a question? Then they would answer you. I would ask them how they met. Now if it turns out it's Milo, that still doesn't settle the question, does it? Because you don't know what Milo's up to. But if you wanted to follow the money and take the most obvious, straightforward assumption based on pattern recognition, it would look like this. And I'm not saying this is true. I'm saying that all of our experience and pattern recognition should tell you the following: that it was not an op. It was an intel op to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected. And that Fuentes may or may not be aware of it. I mean he might be. He might have just gotten an invitation and thought, oh of course I'll go. I mean it doesn't mean he's part of the plotting. But that doesn't happen by accident. It doesn't happen by accident that he got in there. So somebody with a little weight was suggesting behind the scenes. There's a little suggesting going on there.

Now how worried are you about the Ye plus Fuentes connection? It's real weird because they're both considered anti-Semites at this point, but it's a weird group to be called racists and anti-Semites. So one's black, one's last name is Fuentes. So it's a weird white supremacist group, isn't it? Now wouldn't you like to know how they met? That's all. Just find somebody on that list of 50 intel people who knows both of them and maybe you'd find something else. All right, just speculating.

Meanwhile over in China, apparently the protests in China about the newest crackdowns are getting pretty active. So apparently at least some part of the Chinese public, the young people, are actually chanting for the overthrow of the government. Imagine how brave you have to be to be a Chinese citizen in public chanting against the government. Do you know one reason that they can do it? Just by weird coincidence they have to wear masks. So China wants to control them. At the same time they want them to wear masks. How do you game that out? Oh, we're going to make you do very unpleasant things for a long time, but also you have to wear a mask so we can't identify you in public. How did they think that was going to turn out? Like did you have to be some political expert to know that if you tell everybody to wear a mask and then you oppress them in ways that they couldn't possibly tolerate, there might be some demonstrations on the street and they might be wearing masks? They just might be.

So the experts, and I saw a tweet by Professor Francois Balloux, I think pronounced it correctly, and he's showing that China has two options and both of them are paths to doom, right? So they can keep their lockdowns in place, but the lockdown won't ever make their risk go away because as long as COVID is circulating around, every time they do a lockdown they just make themselves less immune. And eventually they're going to have to unlock down and then it just gets them.

So here's the problem. The Chinese success of doing the hard lockdown initially did look like a success for a while, didn't it? As brutal as it was to their citizens, it kind of looked like it sort of kind of almost worked. I wasn't quite sure, but in my mind, and I think all of you had the same thing, what happens when they stop doing this? Like don't you eventually all get infected? And are you really better off? Now I thought they had won because I thought that they had stalled until Omicron was here and then Omicron would just act like a vaccine. But I did see some experts saying that if you didn't have any immunity, Omicron would rip through your billion people or so and you'd have some massive death, especially because China has an older population, right, but not as much obesity. And it looks like their health care system would be overwhelmed fairly quickly.

So China has choice one: they keep with the lockdowns, but the lockdowns can't work and they also can't end because as soon as you end one, you know there's going to be another virus and it pops right back up again. So that would cause social upheaval on a massive scale. But if they end the lockdowns, they would admit that their lockdowns were a failure. And there's some thought that they could not survive the government could not survive confessing that big a failure. So I don't know. I kind of disagree. I disagree with the level of risk that China is experiencing. I think China could have protests all day lo
