me TV shows I guess. But here's what I found out about The Daily Wire. They have 600,000 subscribers and they have 150 million, I think it's revenue per year. That's really substantial. And the part about the subscribers is that that makes them not fully dependent on advertising, although advertising is part of the model. Everything about that smart. Everything about that. And the offer that they…
← Previous segment →wanted to turn it into a Nazi regime or something, the people with the guns wouldn't go after the leader but that leader could never go in public again and nobody in their family could ever be in public again. Who wants that? They would be winning something they didn't want. It would be a terrible life. You could never go outside because somebody would take a shot at you.
Now an ordinary rational person will not try to assassinate a political leader just because they don't like their politics. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a Hitler-like entity taking over the country. If that were to happen we would all take a shot at the leader. We would just need an open shot. We would all do it. I'd do it. I would risk my life to take out my Hitler. I would just have to have a shot. That's all. I might do it myself right afterwards so I didn't have to get tortured to death. But we'd all do it. Yeah. So every time I hear that oh those AR-15s will be useless against F-15s, I don't know what Hunter Biden's going to do when they come to round him up and all of his family and everybody that you like and all of your friends. You're basically going to lose everything. Nobody will be able to go outdoors ever again. So good luck if you want to conquer the country and have that kind of life. So it's a good disincentive.
Yeah, that worked in Venezuela. Venezuela didn't have enough guns. Anything you do to compare the United States to any other country is a waste of time. We're just not like any other country. We're just not.
The screenshot. Why does Joe provoke? What screenshot? You retweeted the screenshot. I don't know what you're talking about. I retweeted the screenshot. Oh the 4chan thing. All right, yeah 4chan had a good rant on this so you can see that in my Twitter feed.
Please reconsider. Why do they focus on the ARs? Because they look like military weapons, I think.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is the conclusion of my prepared remarks. And how many of you know what AR stands for? How many? Go ahead. Said what does AR stand for? Somebody actually said assault rifle. It is not. It is not assault rifle. But that was a... this is interesting. It's not automatic rifle. It's ArmaLite. ArmaLite. Is it ArmaLite rifle or is the AR for ArmaLite? Well ArmaLite is the A for sure. So it's not assault. It never was.
Geraldo was funny. Yeah, I think you're totally missing the value of Geraldo on The Five. Geraldo is great on The Five because he gets them all worked up. He takes some alternative views that you don't like. He supports them well. I think Geraldo was great on The Five but I also think Juan Williams was great because in both cases they know their role. They're all fitting a role where he's trying to be a little provocative and get something going. That's his job. I think he does it really well. I absolutely love Geraldo. He's one of my favorite TV people. Brave as hell. Can't get embarrassed. You cannot embarrass him. So I just love that stuff. But I understand he seems unpopular because you think he's arguing against the people you like. But you know, that's the show.
All right, was there anything I missed? Any topics I should have mentioned? And by the way let me just do a little test with you. When I talked abou

t what Trump could do, did it sound like it could win? We don't know what he'll do but did I describe a path where he could just walk into the White House? I think I did. Yeah. And again he's very unpredictable. He's going to do what he does. But I think he drew up a plan that if he stuck to it he could walk into the White House. It looks like it. Yeah, or ArmaLite rifle I think is the right answ…
