Now Nixon probably did in fact authorize it, so he committed a crime. But my current belief, subject to I suppose I could change my mind later, but I always believed until maybe a year or so ago that Watergate was just what it looked like. Two intrepid reporters dug into it, got this scoop, took down the president. Turns out it was actually a deep state operation. The whole thing was a deep state operation. And Hillary Clinton was right in the middle of it. And it's apparently just a pattern that they just do over and over again. They create hoaxes and they have enough power in the media to sell them.

Now do you remember all the time that Bernstein became just a joke because he would come on CNN and say that anything Trump did was worse than Watergate? And I thought to myself, how could this guy who seems so dumb and so biased have been one of the crack reporters that worked with Woodward? Because I thought, well it must have been Woodward who was the smart one, because the other guy is obviously an idiot. Like when you see him on TV he's just, it looks like he's just working for a treat or something. It doesn't even look like there's a functioning brain going on there. And now when you see that there's some interesting history to the other one, you can see that the two of them were just part of some deep state operation apparently.

Now it turns out that Trump is suing Woodward for 49 million dollars for using Trump's audio tapes out of context. Apparently Trump says he'd only authorized the audio tapes for the purpose of writing the book, but when the audio tapes are shown on their own and out of context, because they always would be having context, they're misleading and make him look bad. Now I don't think he can win that case, probably not. But it does show you that Woodward is sketchy, because I do believe without even hearing the audio tapes, I feel a high level of confidence with no knowledge that they're misleading and that they're designed to make Trump look bad. Do you have any doubt about that? Do you have any doubt about that? I don't think so.

All right, here's my take on the cartels and what's happening with fentanyl and all that stuff. Go into the whiteboard. So we're sort of in an interesting race here. So I would say if you look at the odds of going to war with the cartels, well the more people who die of fentanyl and the fact that politicians on both sides, bipartisan, are both talking about it, the odds of war are going to go to 100 percent unless something intervenes. Would you agree that if there's no other outside forces, the odds of war and direct attack of the cartels is a hundred percent? Now we're not there. We're probably down here, probably down and around I don't know 25 percent. But that will grow the more people who die from fentanyl and the more militaristic the cartels look.

But the trouble is one assumes that the cartels with their tens of billions of dollars are already buying up our politicians, because why wouldn't they? What would stop them? Seriously, what would stop them? They know that the United States is going to come for them. The only way they can stop it, because they can't beat us militarily, is to stop us politically. So you don't think that they're already building an entire base of bought-off politicians? Now they may be starting at the state, the city level, you know like council people and stuff, and trying to get control of them and then later they become higher up in politics. So it could be what China's doing. You know China would find an Eric Swalwell and then they would say, you know I think this person might get elected to higher office, so they make friends when he's still at the city level, right? You don't think the cartels are doing that with tens of billions of dollars? Their biggest mortal risk is not Mexico because they already control Mexico. Their biggest risk is the United States. Do you think they're just waiting? Do you think the cartels are just waiting? Oh we'll just keep making money, nothing will happen to us. No, they know we're coming for them. They know we're coming. So they've got to buy our politicians as quickly as possible.

My estimate is we have three to five years. In three to five years the cartels will effectively control our government because that's their only play. And there's no level of risk they wouldn't be willing to take to get that done. Am I right? There's no level of risk that they would walk away from. This is a mortal risk. This ends them completely. They have to buy their way to control the government. They have to. You don't think they know that? Of course they do. The mafia knows it. They already bought the government of Mexico. Do you think that they bought the entire government in Mexico and it never occurred to them maybe buy a little bit of the government of the United States with their billions of dollars? They never thought of it? Of course they did. And of course they're doing it. And they're doing it as fast as they can.

If we don't beat this window and take them out before they have too much control of the government, we'll never be able to do it. So when you see Dan Crenshaw say we should go in militarily, the one thing I can know for sure, no matter what else you want to criticize Crenshaw for, he's not been bought off. Would you agree? He clearly hasn't been bought off because he's
