form surgeries they can't get doctor insurance. And if they try do you know if the doctor insurance specifically excludes in direct words it says excluding coverage for trans surgeries. It's actually the insurance specifically excludes it. Now obviously the reason for that would be because they anticipate lawsuits right. So if doctors and it looks like this is going to happen pretty quickly it lo…

her I made the best choice at the time I did because even today the statistics say that people like me improve their odds and that was all I was trying to do. I was trying to improve my odds and usually the people who disagree are like super healthy 35 year olds who are saying you idiot and I'm saying if I were a super healthy 35 year old I well might have made the same decision you did but why are you comparing your decision to my decision? They were not the same decision right. And then I also wanted to travel and blah blah blah.

So anyway I have been fact checked on that. You should understand the fact check as part of the larger process you're going to see for the next year in which everybody who has an audience and might say something positive about a Republican is going to be the subject of one of these hit pieces and it's going to be relentless between now and election day. So you should expect this is just the opening salvo. I guarantee there's a major article being written about me right now. Do you know why? Because I guarantee there's a major article being written about everybody who has any influence in politics to discredit them.

So Thomas Massie talking about Zelensky visiting and he tried to get money for Ukraine. And Massie explains on he was on comic Dave Smith's podcast and he explained that Afghanistan has ended and according to Massie there's about a 50 billion hole in revenues per year for the military industrial companies in the US and so they have to generate more money to cover the hole and that that's what they're using Ukraine for. To me that explains everything and I think Massie was saying that if you were to sort of lay out the timeline you see how obvious it is that the military industrial complex is backfilling new wars whenever an old war is winding down. It's very obvious right. It's not a coincidence.

So now our new war is giving money to Israel which is actually mostly funneled back to the military industrial complex in the US because the Ukraine thing is harder to fund. So it looks like Ukraine is going to wind down exactly as everybody knew it would. They're probably going to negotiate an end to the war exactly like everybody knew they would at some point. Everybody knew that and it will be exactly what it looked like it was. Exactly what it looked like. A huge op to suck the money out of your pockets and put it in the pockets of other Americans who were in military businesses. Yeah it looks like it is exactly what it looked like.

Smedley Butler. Nope never heard of Smedley Butler. Douglas Murray. Oh it was actually Douglas Murray was on the Dave Smith podcast I think. Massie was on some other podcast. But Douglas Murray was debating with Jen Psaki and you know Douglas Murray's got a let's say a acerbic wit so you don't want to be in a debate with him because you're going to get sliced up pretty badly.

But he was explaining to Jen that he'd spent time in the West Bank and if you talk to the Palestinians that even today if you held an election today not just in Gaza or whatever is left of it but the whole West Bank that the Palestinians would elect Hamas again. That anything you think about a lack of support is an illusion. That the citizens are largely very supportive of Hamas. And that there's no two-state solution basically as Douglas Murray says and I say as well you're dreaming if you think there's a two-state solution. There can't possibly be a two-state solution. It's so impossible because one of them wants to kill the other one. There's no it can't possibly happen.

The only thing Israel can do is keep them under its boot for as long as they can. Now if you say to me but Scott what ab

out all the children who are being injured and killed and all that to which I say I really really do care about children like you know I have the same instinct you do which is for some reason they seem more valuable I guess because they have more years of life or something but they do seem more valuable. Like I have the same internal feeling about it that children are special more valuable. It's j…
