s point about it is accurate directionally. The only thing that needs a tweak here is that it wasn't created by Chinese scientists. It already existed but they do have it in the lab. So it sounds worse if you think they created it. It sounds less worse if you know they're studying it to try to avoid it as a problem which would be rational. But we don't trust anything coming out of China so who kno…

Republicans have no power going forward.

So it's basically the idea is that the protests are all already being set up in case Trump wins and that there will literally be a coup in which they're trying to get the military to ignore Trump, get the protesters to take over the street and essentially run a coup should Trump win. And I you know this is one of those allegations where I don't know it's a big allegation but yet you can see it yourself.

So I think what's going to happen is major protests if Trump wins. But I wonder aren't we smarter now? If you were a Republican wouldn't you just get out of the way and call it the way you see it? Say here's the color revolution is on. Don't panic. Don't let them overthrow anything. Just let their energy run out. They're going to destroy mostly Democratic cities which are basically gone anyway. So let them go. Just get out of the way.

So the last thing I would do is go all Kyle and bring a gun you know. Don't arm up and go to the city and think you're going to stop the protesting. Just get out of the way. Just get out of the way. Now you should be armed at home in case they come to your house. You definitely want to be armed at home if you can do so legally. Yeah the revolution will be televised. So the fact that we can predict it and call it out might be helpful. It's hard to run an op when the people you're running the op on have called out your plays in advance. That's why they do it. I mean that's why Mike Benz is doing it. He's calling it out in advance so when they do it you can say well you can see this right? Just watch it. Then you know what's happening.

The problem is not knowing what's happening or as Trump would say 90% of the problems are fake news. Right the news will cover it like it's a legitimate series of protests because of course everybody's angry at Trump being Hitler. That's how the news will cover it. That's not true. That will be part of the color revolution because once the Democrats own the press they get the organized people to march. They try to put some suppression on the military to make sure the military doesn't get involved. That's a coup. What else would you call it? Yeah so that's happening.

Do you remember that story about all the forest fires in Canada last year and Trudeau said it was climate change? You remember that news? Well a Quebec man has pled guilty to setting 14 forest fires. Yes it was exactly what you thought. Somebody was setting forest fires. Yeah that's the whole story. It was arson. Yep.

Now how many of you thought those were natural forest fires? Did any of you think those were they just a big old coincidental natural forest fires? Even lightning didn't explain it because it was too obviously human patterned. So yes there's a fake news.

Well Fortune Magazine is reporting that DEI backlash has companies quietly changing their programs to avoid lawsuits. Do you think that's a thing? Do you think lawsuits will change DEI? I don't know. I don't know maybe. I mean if companies have trouble getting insurance. Good. Remember it's always about insurance. Insurance is the only thing that predicts because that's what it does. Insurance literally predicts but they put their money on it. That's why it's legitimate.

So if a company that has a DEI group starts getting sued the insurance company that might you know potentially be on the line for paying those payments are going to stop insuring them. I wouldn't insure anybody for lawsuits about discrimination if there were if you had a DEI group. Do you agree? If you are an insurance company and you are insuring against lawsuits for discrimination which

is the thing you can get that insurance. I wouldn't insure anybody if they had a DEI group because that guarantees problems. Now the big companies probably don't need that kind of insurance because they are what's called self-insured meaning they could afford it if they got sued. They don't need insurance. So it won't work for the biggest companies. I assume they don't have that kind of insurance…
