apitalizing on his connections he made during office I get that. But what is better than doing it transparently? And are we better off or worse off if Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner have a close relationship? Are we better off or worse off? He was the architect of the Abraham Accords. We're a hundred percent better off. It's not even close. You want the Saudis to have a good working relationship…
← Previous segment →say about how Biden could even be polling anywhere near equal. But this is what RFK Jr. says about his own party right. President Biden justified his open border policy. So even RFK Jr. calls it an open border. Like remember he's a Democrat and he's just he was there. He did a little documentary. It's an open border. It's because it's an open border. Let me say it again.
Do you know why RFK Jr. calls it an open border? Because he's not a liar. That's why right. He's not a liar so he couldn't not call it that because that's obviously what it is. So all credit to him for bringing some truth to the topic.
But look at these numbers. He says the Trump era border patrol had 2,600 quote children in cages as they like to say where his critics like to say. And RFK Jr. says today there are 12,000 children in cages plus. And here's the part that I can't even process. 85,000 children have disappeared.
Now disappeared means we just don't know where they went. It doesn't mean that something bad happened to them necessarily but out of 85,000 missing children which a lot of them I assume were unaccompanied minors and were probably trafficked intentionally. I don't know what percentage of the 85,000 were being trafficked and abused but it's not zero. I don't know what it is but it's going to be some shocking percentage.
And would it be fair to say that that makes Biden the biggest child trafficker in the world? Because it's entirely his decision whether this happens or not. He's the only one who decides whether this is going to happen. Nobody else. Just one guy. And that one guy apparently is responsible for 12,000 children in cages and 85,000 missing of which what would be a small guess 20,000 of them are sexually abused and still are like at this minute. But what's your guess? It's probably something in that range.
This is the deepest level of evil that I've seen in America since slavery or Jim Crow or something right. I mean this is sort of epic evil. This is evil on a scale that honestly I had no idea. I had no idea it was that big. I knew it was hard to track people once they got in but 85,000 kids that we don't have a good idea even where they are that is not good. Dad action right. You need a dad. You're going to need somebody in that office who cares about children.
Now the good news is a number of candidates fit that description but wow.
All right. Vivek who makes news so well. Vivek is the best earned media guy of all time. Trump got tons of earned media but often they were just criticizing him so his earned media was working against him as much as it was for him. Vivek's is more of a 60-40 like it's overwhelmingly positive but of course critics will try to turn it into something it isn't.
But here's something he said today. Another perfect thing to highlight. He says under General CQ Brown's leadership the Air Force is trying to reduce white male pilots from 86 percent of flyers down to 43 percent amidst a major recruiting crisis. So there's a recruiting crisis. Can't get enough people but they're going to make it much much harder to get good people by discriminating against I assume straight white males. I assume if you're gay and a white male maybe you're still good but if you're a straight white male they're going to tell you pretty much we're looking for somebody else.
Now why would a straight white male join the military? If you were a straight white male and one of your options was to join the military I wouldn't advise against it. Now I typically would not advise against joining the military even though it's clearly a risky proposition by its nature and I don't usually advise people to take risky actions but at least there's a payoff right. At least you get benefits and you learn a skill. Maybe there's a lot to gain. So you know it's a personal decision.
But at this point I think I will weigh in and say if you're a straight white male the military just said you're not going to do well so you should probably look for a different plan. So I can't recommend the US military to a straight white male under the current conditions. This was about the Air Force but you assume it's the same everywhere.
All right. So Vivek did a video in which he's debunking a number of hoaxes against him. One of the hoaxes was that he made a lot of money on a failed Alzheimer's drug. How many of you think that's true that he made a lot of money on a failed Alzheimer's drug because that's one of the main claims about it? No it's not true.
He did have a failed Alzheimer's drug as he poi

nts out. Over 99 percent of all Alzheimer drug attempts failed. He was one of them and it was in a subsidiary of his company and they never sold any stock in the subsidiary. So the stock you know was worth a zillion dollars and then it was worth zero but he rode it all the way. He rode it to the top. He rode it at the bottom which was the ethical thing to do because there was a point where he coul…
