Bernoulli effect in order to get lift and you built that plane, it would fly. Years later you'd find out that the Bernoulli effect had nothing to do with it. So you can test something and engineer it and find out it works. But then you have to fly the plane upside down to find out what was true. If you fly the plane upside down, which you can do, and it flies, then you know the Bernoulli effect wa…
← Previous segment →h go on every TV show and talk about the things that you're not supposed to talk about unless you're a witch, I guess. I suppose if you're a witch they expect that. And then laugh and be really, really happy, act really, really happy that you might send Trump to jail.
I've never seen Trump in less legal jeopardy than he is right now at this moment in time. Trump is in the least legal jeopardy of his entire presidency and maybe his whole life. I mean he's been so thoroughly researched all they could find was a witch to claim that the word "find" means something different than English. That was their case. So but maybe there's something with the fake electors that they can pin on Trump, but I'd be surprised.
All right. I feel like I just have to stop explaining all the hoaxes because they're so obvious at this point. Here's how CNN says it. CNN in one of their pieces online said that the grand jury investigated former President Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Is that the right way to characterize what happened? Would you have said that Trump was attempting to overturn the 2020 election? Sort of like you could imagine that's like technically accurate but it's also fake news if you don't mention the fact that he and half of the country believe that the election was not legitimate. How would you describe trying to correct an illegitimate election? Now I'm not saying it was illegitimate. I'm saying that's what the people seem to have believed. I wouldn't call it trying to overturn an election. I would call it trying to get a recount. I would call it trying to audit it. I would call it trying to make sure we got the right answer. But they're sort of assuming he's guilty. You know, they've sort of characterized him as, well, they have characterized his intentions. They've characterized his internal intentions that have never been spoken in this way. If his internal intention was simply to get the right answer, which would make him happy of course, let's not try to reverse the election. That's trying to get the election right. CNN is so weaselly anyway.
All right. Let's talk about Vivek Ramaswamy. So he tweeted this today. He said, I'll call President Obrador, president of Mexico, on day one with the message we'll arm you to decimate the drug cartels pumping fentanyl across our border. The cartels may be your sugar daddy now but there's a new daddy in town. If you don't do it, we'll do it for you. Your choice. America 2.0.
Now I love the energy of that. I love the energy, like the vibe. I like the toughness. I like the priorities. I'm even accepting "decimate" as annihilate. I was corrected that apparently common use has already elevated "decimate" to be equivalent to annihilate. I thought that was sort of in the process but it looks like dictionary.com calls them the same anyway.
So here's my problem with this. Americans believe that the president of Mexico is owned by the cartels. Do you agree? How many of you would say that's a true statement, that the government of Mexico is essentially owned by the cartels? Now whether that's true or not, that's what we believe. I'm sure it's true. But even if it's not, this doesn't work because how can Americans get behind arming the cartels? Because that's what it sounds like to me. It sounds like arming ISIS because you've got some short-term gains but in the long run arming ISIS, probably a bad idea. Probably a bad idea.
So here's how I would modify this. I wouldn't even talk to the president of Mexico except to tell them what we're doing. Now we might need to sort of pretend there's a government in Mexico before we do what we need to do. So you know, maybe he's right with his instinct. They have to at least give the government a try. But I wouldn't give them weapons. That sounds like the wrong play. So I don't know. Maybe he'll adjust that messaging a little bit. I would prefer to negotiate with the cartels directly. And the way I would do it is I would publish a drone picture every day of a cartel facility. Now it could be a home owned by somebody who's known to be cartel. So just here's the facility. And then you say this will disappear tomorrow because the missile is going to drop on it. So then you give a chance for all the innocent people to say, wait, I'm in this house. I work in this house. There's a missile going to drop on it. And then you run out the door and you're safe. And then we should just continue and never stop. Every day here's a new picture. That's a cartel asset. In 24 hours it's going to disappear.
Now of course if they had drugs and money in there they would grab it all and they would leave with their drugs and money. That's okay. That's okay. Blow it up anyway. Now you'll still try to catch them with their money and their drugs and kill them too. But just make it a daily occurrence. Here's the photo. Here's the crater the next day. Here's the new photo. Do whatever you want. All right, go nuts. You can do anything you want but this is disappearing. This won't be here tomorrow. And you just make it non-optional, non-negotiable. This stuff's just going to start disappearing.
I know. Maybe annex Mexico. I would be in favor of that as well. Yes, literally. In case you wonder if I'm kidding, yes, I'm literally in favor of annexing Mexico. Literally in favor of annexing Mexico. Yep. Absolutely. Yeah. Not kidding. Not hedging. Absolutely in favor of annexing Mexico. Now if they can stop the drug flow and the immigration flow, there's no reason to. But at the moment there are more of them in the United States and we should just own it. Now we could give it back. You know, maybe you fix it and give it back. That'd be cool. Yeah, that would be good. I'd love that. Imagine that we take it over, put in some kind of effective government if we can. We can't do it in America but let's say we can do it there and then turn it back. You know, if you get rid of the corruption. I don't know if you could anyway.
So I do like that the candidates are going to compete on fentanyl. And so I like Vivek Ramaswamy on that topic. Now I saw you prompting me in the comments. There is apparently he has some history that he was asked to join the World Economic Forum a number of times when he was a successful young entrepreneur and even his name was on the list at one point. But he says he flatly turned them down. And then there's a story I saw today that when he was a young student he got some kind of funding from a Soros organization for not a scholarship but something like a scholarship, some kind of money. Now do any of those things bother you? Yeah, he went to Yale Law on it. It wasn't a scholarship. It was a, what was it? What's the word that sounds like scholarship but isn't? I forget what the word is. But I don't really care about that. A grant. Fellowship. Maybe it was a fellowship or something like that. Yeah, I don't care about that. You know, if a student wants to take money for an education they could take it from Satan. I don't care. I don't care at all. You know, if he then became a Soros puppet I'd be worried. But if all he did is get some funding from a grant that could have gone to any young smart person, take the money. No problem.
So there will be lots of stuff coming out about his background. You should believe maybe 40 percent at the tops.
All right. So CNN is giving major coverage to the Ohio chemical spill. This is different, right? Isn't it? This is a change. I thought Fox was sort of covering it almost by themselves. But maybe, you know, the fact that Trump visited makes it impossible not to cover it. So now it's part of a political horse race, not just the story about one town that CNN probably wouldn't care about. But now it's political. So Trump very wisely visited, not only because it's a base of support for him but also because Biden was in Ukraine and Buttigieg is delaying for reasons that aren't clear. So it was a brilliant political move. Would you agree? Brilliant political move.
And would you also agree that every time Trump is doing something like that he's winning? But when he's just griping at DeSantis and stuff he doesn't seem much like a leader when he does that. Now he was hilarious in one of his truths that made it over to Twitter today in which he was mocking somebody. I forget. But he's just mocking somebody. He's so funny. I mean just the words he chooses are just freaking hilarious all the time.
So anyway. So Mike DeWine, the governor of Ohio, said he would stay in East Palestine overnight until the toxic train derailment cleanup is done. What do you think of that? So the governor went there and drank the water in front of people and now he's going to sleep there until it's done. Now that's some good governing. That's some good governing. Now maybe he should have acted sooner or differently or something. But this part, this part is strong. It's maybe one of the strongest leadership moves I can remember because this is, well you say it's symbolic but I think it's more than that. It looks like he's leading from the front. People like that. They like it from their leaders. You know, I don't even know if DeWine is Republican or Democrat. What is he? Is DeWine Republican or Democrat? He's a Republican. Like I didn't even know that. But there's a Republican. Yeah. Well, judge it for yourself.
All right. It's really tough to keep a narrative going if you're CNN. Show their coverage of what is going to be brutal blizzards including LA. So I think this week or today Los Angeles is supposed to have a snowstorm. So the articles on the homepage of CNN are you know LA to get blizzard, freezing, freezing everywhere. It's freezing. There's snow everywhere. And then they had to add li

ke the fourth one down was it's never been this warm in February. Here's why that's not a good thing. That's the actual title. After all the blizzards and hurricanes and record cold, it's never been this warm in February. Here's why that's not a good thing. Now I'm not going to say that weather is climate. I get it. I get it. It could be really cold one day and really warm another day and that's…
