g. I'm saying he acts like somebody who's not even trying to be on the side of the Democrats or anybody. Just anybody. He looks like he's on China's side just trying to screw everything over a little bit. All right. Well, it just looks like that anyway. I saw a tweet by Zion Lights. That's her name, Zion Lights. And she said, oh hold on, I pasted the wrong thing in there, but I remember what it w…

got your fingerprint, you can tell us if that fingerprint belongs to Hunter Biden or not. And if it's somebody else, you could tell us that too. Do you think you're going to hear that? Do you think you're going to see the videotape of the crime? No, no, no, no, no, no. You're not.

Do you think this story favors Trump? Yeah. Yep. Yes it does.

Now let me be clear. I assume that every administration has its healthy share of regular drug doers. Is that fair to say? Don't you assume every administration has some pretty cranked up people in it? So I'm not going to tell you that a Trump White House would be drug free and this Biden White House is full of these degenerate drug users. I don't think that's the case. It's just that this specific story massively favors one side massively. It just makes you feel a certain way. And if I've taught you anything, the way you feel about it is going to determine your opinion. You know, the facts are somewhat irrelevant. And the way you feel about Hunter Biden having been cleared of all those other charges, or at least has a plea deal that could get accepted, if this happened, well there are two things that are bad. One would be we found out for sure it was Hunter Biden and he brought cocaine into the White House. That would be really, really bad. But you know, it would be almost as bad never getting an answer whose it was. That would be, assuming it's Hunter's, you'd still make the assumption and then you assume that the administration is corrupt. There's no way they win this. They're either going to throw Hunter under the bus, which can't happen, or they'll throw the administration under the bus and say it's corrupt.

So am I wrong that things are shaping up to just hand it to Trump? Does it look like that? Now remember, I'm endorsing Ramaswamy. But you can't deny what you see and what you feel. And it looks to me like Trump is rising. To me it looks like Trump is rising. Do any of you feel it? Do you feel the energy shift? Because I'm interested if I'm just hallucinating here. Had anybody noticed it before I mentioned it? Because I might be influencing you. So some say they hadn't noticed it before. Yeah. And Trump just needs to shut up. Yeah. When Trump is doing nasty nicknames and stuff, he's definitely the funniest candidate. But let's see if he'll stay out of trouble. We'll see. I doubt it.

All right. This is how we read the news in 2023, right? So I'm looking at the headlines. I'm like, all right, it looks like a false flag developing in Ukraine. We've got the cocaine cover-up that's going to happen any moment now. We've got the climate scam that's falling apart. It's like when I read the news now, not only do I assume it's fake, but I know its very nature. And I know the nature of the fakeness. And even before it happens, like the false flag, we know the nature of the fa

keness and we can also predict what's going to happen now. I do imagine that everybody immediately seeing it as a false flag, that could ruin the false flag-ness, right? Like if you were actually trying to do a false flag in Ukraine and everybody saw it before it happened, everybody, we all see it, and then you go ahead and do it, I'm not sure that's a good idea. I mean, the fact that we all see…
