rom Northern Africa, Muslim I think, but I'm not even sure that's the reason people are rioting. You know, that's the excuse. But of course there are bigger issues.

Now some of the rioters probably want to take over the country and make it an Islamic country. Reasonable. You'd expect that they'd want that. And some of them were probably just having fun and causing trouble and looting. And it's probably people have all kinds of different reasons, or they're just mad about white people or whatever they're doing.

But here's how many of you would know the percentage of Muslim population in France. Don't look it up. Don't look it up. Don't Google it. The percentage of their population that's Muslim right now. What do you think? Some of you know the right answer is not 25, but I can see why you'd be guessing that. But no, it's not 25. It's about 10 percent. About 10 percent.

What is the percent of Muslim residents of the United States? Muslim residents of the United States. What percent? One percent. One percent. So France has 10 times the amount of Muslim population. And they're the population that seems to be the most worked up at the moment.

You know, it was some time ago, I don't remember who said it. There was a percentage of Muslim population that would guarantee you became Muslim, that the entire country would eventually become Muslim. Do you remember what that number was? It was 10 percent. I think if you had 10, you end up going Muslim. And I think it has something to do with, maybe you can do a fact check on me, the reasoning behind that was one might be birth rate. There's a higher birth rate. But the other might be that that's just the percentage that they try to take power. When I say they, I mean if there's any members of the group who think that the country should become an Islamic rule, sure, yeah, Sharia law. If you have 10 percent of your population Islamic, they're probably going to try.

Now your point of view of whether that's the worst thing in the world or the best thing in the world would probably depend if you're Muslim. So you can't say it would be a terrible idea if they wanted to take over once they got some power, because that's what everybody does. Everybody who has power tries to use it. So it looks like they have power. Tell me I'm wrong.

France is re-electing President Trump. France is pretty much guaranteeing Trump gets into office, isn't he? Now you know if something happened to Trump, previous legal problems or he self-imploded, I mean there are lots of things that could keep him out. But I don't know how America can watch France if they're paying attention. Now the other thing is that people aren't paying attention. I only just started paying attention. I think the riots in France, how long have they been going on? I just today decided to get interested because I never expect riots to last long. So a riot in another country doesn't interest me. They're like, that's two weeks of rioting and then it goes away. But maybe not. Maybe this is bigger. Belgium's got their issues too.

So I think the biggest thing this does is guarantees that Trump or somebody who's a Republican gets elected. I don't know how you could watch this and say you want to be like it. But let me make a very important distinction. If we're bringing Christian immigrants across the border, we would have our own different set of challenges, but it won't be this. You know, the Christians that are coming across from Central America and Mexico are not looking to change the nature of the country. In fact, their assimilation rate is awesome.

So here's the way I would handle it if I were Trump. This would be really delicate. I don't know if you could get away with it. I think you should get some kind of independent body to determine how many of what kind of immigrants you can let in before it changes the nature of the country. And it could be different for different groups. So I would be opposed to ending Muslim immigration. That doesn't, I mean that seems like way too much. But I wouldn't be opposed to having different limits or rates of people coming in based on how much of a disruption you think it would be. And the amount of disruption probably has everything to do with assimilation rates and nothing to do with genetics or anything like that. It's just there's some cultures that are designed to assimilate and some that are designed to resist assimilation, in my opinion.

The South American, Central American culture is so compatible with American. Once you get the language going, it pretty much is a smooth process, right? Somebody comes from Australia to the United States, smooth process. New Zealand, smooth process, right? China, not so bad. Asian immigrants have done an amazing job. Assimilation of Asian Americans, really good, really good. Let's get some more, right? How about Indian Americans? Assimilation, excellent, excellent. Let's have some more.

But the Islamic immigration is a different animal because the Islamic system will kill you if you leave it. So that's an anti-assimilation philosophy. So if you bring people in who have an assimilation, or at least they don't mind, they're not opposed to it, you can assume that's going to go smoothly in the long run. If you bring a group in whose stated philosophy and religion is no, we don't assimilate, you assimilate to us, what do you expect?

But even then I would make sure that we're bringing in people from everywhere because it's good in the long run. You just got to make sure your rates and your numbers make sense for the philosophy of the people you're bringing in, right? So that's what I think. I think Trump or Ramaswamy could sell the hell out of that.

What do you think is going to happen in France? Does it look to you like this is just going to get bigger and bigger until it's the end? Or do you think there'll be some kind of France-first movement? Will there be a Trump-like, you know, Marie Le Pen or something? Will there be a Trump-like character that rises there?

You know what I heard? I heard that Brexit is unpopular in Great Britain. Is that true? Give me a fact check on that. That there are more people in Britain who wish they had not done Brexit. Is that true? Yeah, I don't know if that's true. I read that. But yeah, the Muslim population would be not too compatible with the woke population. So that's an issue.

All right, but it does make you like Muslims better probably. It's a very pro-Muslim kind of theme that they're against many of the same things that many of you are against. So at least you have common enemies. That's something.

All right. Twitter of course is having some issues today and it is just weird watching people flip out about it. Does it really matter that much if Twitter has some glitches? Is that affecting us a lot? I mean, I don't know. I experienced some little irregularities yesterday but how much did it affect your life? I mean, not much on a weekend and it's a weekend. How much did you really need it?

But anyway, I was looking at some of the takes. Here's the dumbest take. I'm not even going to tell you who it was. It's just somebody on Twitter who decided to say this in public. That Elon Musk's experience running Twitter is proof that rich people shouldn't run companies. Laughs. How drunk do you have to be to tweet that? That's right. The problems through Twitter are more proof that rich people like Elon Musk should not be involved in business. Somebody actually wrote that. That was like a real tweet from a real person who thought that I got a point here. I've got a good point. Watch the retweets rack up on this one. Wow. Wow.

All right, but here's one that's more puzzling. And it's puzzling because the person who's saying it is so smart, which is always kind of messes with my mind. I'm used to, you know, I'm very accustomed to disagreeing with stupid people. Aren't we all? Disagreeing with somebody who's stupid, it's pretty easy and comfortable and you're probably glad you did it. But what happens when you disagree with somebody who's really smart? Doesn't that give you a little pause? Or you disagree with them. Shouldn't you take a step back and say maybe here's one of those.

So Professor Scott Galloway was retweeting his own tweet from I think right around after Musk had purchased Twitter. And Professor Galloway was saying that recent events, and I think he means the Twitter technical problems that are happening right now, I think that was more evidence that he was right when he said right after the takeover that Musk is sort of a cult of personality and his net wealth will be cut in half or could be cut in half because of the Twitter purchase.

Is Elon Musk still the richest person in the world? Am I wrong? You're still the richest person in the world, isn't he? I believe he is. Did his wealth get cut in half? I don't recall that happening. No. So that prediction hasn't come through.

But during, so Professor Galloway said this during a conversation with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, and Amanpour said that Musk is quote "unraveling before our eyes" right now. This is two years ago. So like, or when did you buy it? Was it a year ago? Time is, I've lost my sense of time. But whatever it was that Musk bought Twitter, do you think Musk is unraveling before her eyes? When did that happen? When was this alleged unraveling? He said one of the best years any business person has ever had in the history of business. He's unraveling right between.

So here's what I tweeted. When did Musk say he bought Twitter to make money? Was there ever one time that Elon Musk even hinted that Twitter was a good investment and that's why he bought it? No. He's always said the opposite. He directly says the opposite. You wouldn't buy Twitter to make money. You just wouldn't do that. So why is that even a metric? He bought it for saving free speech. Did he succeed at saving free speech? I say yes. I say yes. I would say that Twitter is the only place you can have free speech right now. Am I wrong about that? I don't believe there's a second place. What's the second place you go to for your free speech? Name it. Name your second place. Well, Gab. Okay, yeah, there's some fringe, I won't say fringe, there's some alternative entities that are too small to be meaningful at this point. Yeah, Rumble. Rumble, I'll give you Rumble. You know, within bounds. I mean Rumble's got constraints as well. Dilbert Reborn is one place you can get free speech, but that only applies to me apparently. I'm the only one who has it and that's only because it's behind a subscription wall anyway.

I was fascinated because I don't understand the attack on Musk from Scott Galloway. So I feel like he's judging him on a standard that doesn't fit the situation. If he said I'm going to try to make money with this and then failed, I'd agree with him. He said the opposite though.

All right, there's another mass shooting and I don't know, Baltimore. 28 people were injured, two of them died. 20 walked into hospitals. I don't even know what to say about it anymore. What do you say about it anymore? I mean now it's just business as usual, isn't it?

So do you think this is a gun problem? Is it a gun problem? I would say this is a people living in dangerous places problem. Because isn't there a higher gun, well let me ask a question. Isn't there a higher gun ownership rate in the country than in the cities? You know, per person. Aren't there way more guns in the country?

Oh, did I lose out? Looks like I lost sound so I'm going to have to find another microphone. Hold on, hold on. I think I have ano
