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 answer. You're flooded with illegals. Yeah, okay. Amish rifle. Who is advising Trump? I don't know.

How many of you saw Matt Gaetz on Tim Pool? Highly recommended. Tim Pool does good work. The Timcast, this is another business model that I have a lot of respect for. Even if you just go to the Timcast website it's a really good website. It's really put together like exactly right. You got good advice or good help on that. And then the show itself looks like high production and it's always interesting. But anyway, so Matt Gaetz comes on and I'm going to say something that I want you to test. You tell me if I'm wrong. But you have to watch Matt Gaetz on Tim Pool. If you've seen a lot of Matt Gaetz he's usually just doing like quick one-minute hits for a media hit. His one-minute hits are really good. But his long form where he can actually expand on something, the best in the government. There's nobody on either side who does long-form explanations better than he does. Period. There's nobody in his class.

Now here's the thing that's just amazing. He went from as politically dead as you could possibly be to are you going to be running for president and would you accept the vice president role if Trump asked you and everybody wants to talk to you. And by the way you did that great job with McCarthy and it's good that you can work with him now. Everybody came out ahead. You're the only one fighting for us. How did he do that? How in the world did he pull that off? But he did pull it off. Am I wrong? Is there anybody here who saw him on Timcast and does not feel he's not only fully redeemed politically but he has some impressive power levels there, more than we've seen?

And here's one of the other things that he does consistently right that I don't see other people doing consistently right. He defended Eric Swalwell from the Fang Fang accusations. Just hold that in your mind. Now he's consistent because he also defended Katie Hill, the woman in Congress who there were some pictures that came out. And Porter, was that on the Hill? Katie Hill. Yeah, he defended her like leave her alone basically. That's just her private life. And now so here's his defense of Swalwell. And by the way I didn't know this. This was all new to me so that tells you how bad my bubble is. He said that the Fang Fang thing, the affair anyway, happened when he was a single man. So that's a big deal because I thought it happened when he was married. I didn't know. That's a huge deal. All right, it's a huge deal for trust. But it also happened when he was a councilman in Dublin, California. Now as Matt Gaetz described it he described Dublin, California as nowhere California. He was a councilman in nowhere California. I have a small objection to that because I lived in Dublin while he was a council member. Yes, I lived in nowhere California. And let me say this about Dublin, California. It's one of the best towns in California. It is fiscally solid with really good schools, low crime, and you would definitely want to live there. Pleasanton's better. It's got a downtown. Dublin doesn't have a downtown but if you live next to it you get all the Dublin benefits plus the Pleasanton benefits. It's one of the best places in the country honestly. But living in Dublin's not as good as living right next to it and then you get all the Dublin goodness. So that's my defense of Dublin.

But apparently he had an affair, didn't know she was a Chinese spy. As soon as he found out he worked with the FBI and got rid of her. I'm going to accept that. I accept Matt Gaetz's defense of Eric Swalwell. And as Matt Gaetz says you don't need any of that to kick him off the Intel committee because he was part of the Russia collusion hoax. I mean that's good enough. That's good enough to kick him off. So you don't need any of that. It's just a distraction. And it also puts you in a weird situation because there's going to be another Republican you like who has some kind of sexual impropriety. So just taking that stuff off the table is the smartest thing a politician can do. There's no other Republican who is smart enough to do that. Now don't you trust him more, Matt Gaetz? Don't you trust him more because he wasn't willing to just take a narrative? He rejected the narrative. I do.

Does it tell you that... and he also admitted he got caught on tape or video talking to AOC and he said yes I talked to AOC. I talked to Ilhan Omar and who was the other one on the squad? And the reason you talk to them about whether the Democrats were going to walk out on a vote or vote, were they going to vote with the Republicans or not. So he had a reason to talk to them. Rashida Tlaib. And was it? Yeah it was Rashida I think. I may have the third person's name wrong. You're right.

You would have a strong border. The only way the economists making decisions about who comes into the... there was a question here on YouTube. The only way it makes sense to have economists tell you who to let in the country and when is if you completely control the border. So that's just a given. Under all conditions we should tightly control the border but we should also decide how to let people in separately. So that's the problem. We keep conflating how many people to let in with the physical security. Those should not be the same topic. One should be total physical security. Second topic: when do you open the door? Just like your house. You don't say well people might sneak into my house so I won't have any doors or windows. Yeah, nobody makes that decision.

Trump versus Newsom, who would win? Well I hate to say it might have to do with mail-in votes and other things that where the system would favor the Democrats. So probably the system elements are bigger than the candidates at the moment. Maybe Trump could get past that but I think the system decides who is president not the voters exactly in our current situation. So if for example the total media shut Trump out then he couldn't be president, right? So it's not up to Trump. It's also up to the system and how the system works. But yeah, I think it's at least a coin flip. Trump versus Newsom. I think that's a coin flip with what we know today.

How about let the wisdom of crowds specify the number of immigrants? Interesting suggestion. The wisdom of crowds. Here, let me try to support your idea before I give you an opinion. So that would be instead of asking the economists who get everything wrong anyway, which is the problem with my suggestion, you let the public decide. The problem is the public is poorly informed so you m
