more illegal migration. Does he know he's doing that? Who knows? Can't read his mind. But I can tell you that anybody who understands anything about anything says you shouldn't incentivize criminals to come to your country. Now I'm not saying all immigrants are criminals. Obviously that would be ridiculous. But too many criminals is a problem. All right there's a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills,…
← Previous segment →r that she wasn't a popular member of the show. Could be. But I suspect yeah you would think that a show like that would benefit from having a pro-Trump person in it because that would be a source of stories and conflict. So to imagine that they thought they would lose money by having a source of conflict on a reality TV show stretches the imagination. It is easy to believe that they just weren't comfortable having a Trump supporter on their show and that's all that mattered. So it is a believable story but I don't automatically think you have the right context whenever a public figure is involved.
Do I think the guy in the ship was drunk? No. I'm guessing that the ship captain probably did as much as he could because we know the lights blinked so we doubt that the ship captain was directly responsible for the lights going out. So that would say that whether he was drunk or not whatever the problem was wasn't that they woke him up. But that too is not, that doesn't tell you anything. So the captain has to sleep. That's why you have other people who can pilot a ship. I don't think the captain always has to be awake. Nobody required that. So you know there's going to be a lot of conspiracy theories about it. I'm going to say I lean toward it was just a human problem with some mechanical problems thrown on top.
Yeah once a ship loses propulsion there's not a whole lot you can do. You're not going to be steering it. But the fact that it did what it did. Here's how you should deal with coincidence today. A truck ran into a telephone pole and the damage was quickly fixed. Was that in the news? No because it was an ordinary accident got fixed. Today a boat sank in the harbor. Big news? No because you know little boats sink. It's a thing. Today a plane crashed but luckily the pilot was so good that he made a good emergency landing and survived, walked away. So what you're seeing is a survivor bias sort of situation. So you have accidents happening all over the world every day. Every now and then one is going to have a coincidence involved. Somebody's going to hit the base of a bridge. So your problem in analyzing this is that you don't see all of the accidents that didn't cause a bigger problem. And so in a context where there's just accidents everywhere, everywhere all the time every day, some of them are going to hit the base of a bridge. You see what I'm saying? Some of them are just going to be worse than the others and then we're going to think it was a terrorist attack. Yeah see seems the boat turned. Well everything about the action of the boat appears to be uninformed people talking about it because the things that we don't know about are at some point they dropped anchor right? So I think the boat was sort of going in a direction and then in desperation they dropped anchor and then the anchor would cause them to pivot off the anchor basically. So we don't know what the anchor did. We don't know what happens as the power was coming on and off.

We did. Apparently there was also a strong flow. It was at the tide so there was a water effect. There was a night effect. There was a technology effect. There was an anchor effect. So looking at the video isn't going to tell you as much as you think it would. Yeah wrong anchor I don't know was that a thing? Well bumpers would have only helped against a smaller object. Yeah bumpers wouldn't have…
