r what Chris Christie's policies are? No, you don't. Nobody knows. I mean some Republican stuff I guess. How about that Mike Pence? Who just took him right out of the news. So I don't know what the Democrats are thinking. Are they thinking this is a good play? Because on day one it looked like it was. I have to admit on day one when I heard all the charges and the 37 charges and the pictures of t…

Now that doesn't mean he'll stop funding them because I've always thought that the funding was sort of indirect. You know, I don't think he wanted these specific outcomes. He just got them.
So I'm gonna say that the son will, here's my prediction, that the son will modify the things that weren't working. Because when somebody takes over they do like to put their fingerprint on it. Might be too early because the father's still alive. So at the moment he probably just has to do whatever his father wants, you know, just out of respect. But I would say fairly soon when his father is a little bit more out of it, I think the son is going to look to correct the excesses. And by that I mean giving money to Black Lives Matter looks like a mistake in retrospect, wouldn't you say? It didn't really look like that much of a mistake when it happened but at the moment it looks like a huge mistake. It's just it wasn't obvious at the time.
Now what about the prosecutors? When George Soros first had the idea of not putting people in jail for non-violent crimes, do you think that maybe that sounded like a good idea on paper? Because I actually think I might have been persuaded by that. I've heard the argument. If you hear the argument separate from what actually happened and you just heard it in a conceptual state: stop putting people in jail for little stuff because once they get a criminal record you know they get locked into the criminal path because you can't get a good job and then you get taken away and then your kid doesn't have a father and then there's a whole ripple effect. So I'm very much in agreement with George Soros that arresting people for small crimes can make the life of their child much worse.
However, it's clear that nobody thought it through to the ultimate conclusion, which is it destroys the retail industry entirely and turns everybody into a criminal because it's just too easy to steal and get away with it. Now do you believe that 37-year-old college-educated Alex Soros thinks that what's happening right now with the liberal prosecutors is working? Do you think if you were alone in a room with him and said look, do you think that worked? Is that what you planned? And a lot of you are almost all say yes. Okay, I'm going to disagree with you and say that there's no chance he would say that. Not at all. I would put the odds at exactly zero that he would say that worked out because he's looking at the same news you are. Remember the Democrat news is saying it didn't work. It's not just the Republicans. It is now a matter of obvious fact that both the left and right can see that the cities have been destroyed by rampant crime.
So you think that if you were alone with him in a room he would say that worked out the way we wanted? Do you really believe that? You really believe he would say yes, this is what we were looking for? All right, you got a little quiet there, didn't you? No, there's no chance he thinks that worked. There really is no chance. I'll respect your disagreement, okay? I will respect your disagreement because I know where it comes from. It's not an unthoughtful disagreement. It's a thoughtful disagreement. So I respect it. I disagree completely. I think there's zero chance that privately he would say it worked.
Do you think I should ask him if he'll talk to me? Maybe do an interview? I think that would be very interesting. I understand that he's a Berkeley graduate. Somebody said so. We both got that Berkeley Cal Bears thing going. So maybe he'll say yes. Anyway, if I were him I would say yes because for someone who has a mostly conservative audience as I do, I would give him the friendliest interview because I don't start with the assumption that they're all guilty of everything. They might be. I don't rule it out. I'm just, I don't start with the assumption that he's guilty. I just don't have that assumption. So maybe he would talk to me. I think that would make everything better.
All right. I've said this a few different ways but I'll try it another way. In 2023 when somebody goes in public and says no one is above the law, how do you hear that? Because in 2023 what I hear is I'm going to do some dictatorship now. I'm going to take away your civil rights. That's what I hear. I no longer hear this as some kind of a statement of constitutional lofty ideals. It just sounds like something the dictator says before they put your ass in jail. Oh, nobody's above the law. And you're in jail. It's amazing how that changed in the era of Trump because we can see now, I mean it's really, really, really obvious that the law is being applied differently. You know, you see the shoplifters coming in and taking what they want. Is that equal application of the law? Not even close. Is Trump being treated the way anybody would be treated? Well according to the most storied and qualified lawyers of all time, no, not even close.
So to imagine that somebody could go in front of the public and say nobody is above the law and not look like an idiot, it's amazing they even still say it. It's just the dumbest thing you could say in 2023 when it's just so obviously not true. Yeah, it's not true. It doesn't even make you look smart when you say it. It now makes you look like you're a criminal basically. You know what I see? When Jack Smith said that I immediately thought he was just a criminal. Now not necessarily breaking a law but not acting in the benefit of the republic, not doing the job he was tasked with doing and doing a hit piece on an American citizen that happens to be an ex-president. That's what I saw. To me it just looked like a criminal talking like a criminal. Yeah, why do you rob banks? Well that's where the money is. That's what it sounded like to me.
All right. You following this UFO whistleblower? All right, I believe that almost none of you believe the UFOs are real and therefore don't believe the whistleblower. Am I right? Let me do another quick survey. Do you believe that the whistleblower talking about the aliens being, you know, being possessed, how many of you believe it's true? Yes or no. All no's on Locals. Everyone is now 25 percent. All right, we got a sprinkling of yeses on YouTube.
Well let me speak to the yeses, the people who think it's true. We now have new information that the whistleblower says that at least one of the vehicles, these captured UFOs, is bigger on the inside than on the outside. Ah huh. Where have I heard that before? It's a structure, some kind of a vessel or a ship that's bigger on the inside than the outside. Huh. Well there's Snoopy's doghouse. Snoopy's doghouse is bigger on the inside than the outside. And let's see, in Doctor Who there's the Tardis. Looks like a phone booth but when you go inside it's a whole big ship. Yeah. So how do you feel now, you those of you who think that UFO story and the whistleblower true? That sound good still? And he also added that one of the crafts is the size of a football field. Yeah, there's something the size of a football field that crash landed and nobody got a picture? You mean no one outside the government nobody got a picture? Yeah. So you're still feeling pretty good about that UFO whistleblower? Feeling pretty confident about that?
All right. Well the Unabomber died in prison and some are sayin

g it was suicide and some are saying I don't know. I'm not interested in the Unabomber. Can I get a vote of agreement here? We don't care about the Unabomber, do we? Nobody cares. You know, but yeah, here's a true story. The Unabomber actually caused me some problems. So the Unabomber and his situation actually overlapped with my personal life. True story. So when stuff was blowing up, and I make…
