ly they send to say it's false. If they send Adam Schiff to say it's not true, oh, it's true. If they send Jamie Raskin to say it's not true, it's definitely true. If they send George Stephanopoulos to say it's not true, oh, it's definitely true. It's definitely true. And if The Atlantic says something's true, it's definitely not true. So there, those are your strongest signals for fake news: Rask…

But here's what I think. Given that he made allegedly $200 million in campaign donations because of the lawfare, if he spent one minute in jail, do you have any idea the size of his campaign donations? As soon as his foot crosses that barrier into a jail cell, it'll be like that foot just enters the jail cell and it's just going to be ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching. It's going to rain money like nobody's ever seen in their life. So he's in this situation which he didn't create for himself. Trump did not create this situation. But he sort of has two ways to win and no way to lose unless they do something really illegal, which is an option. Because if he's not in jail, he's going to win. And if he's in jail, he's going to win twice as hard.
And what are they going to do? Here's the funny part. 38 countries have banned Trump, not specifically but because he's a felon. So if you're a felon, did you know that you can't travel to the United States if you weren't already a citizen? You couldn't even visit the United States if you're a felon. I didn't know that actually. I don't mind that that's a law, but I wasn't aware of that. But other countries where you can't go if you're a felon. So imagine if he's president but he's still a felon. He wouldn't be able to travel to China, Australia, Canada or India. Now here's the question. Do you really think China and India are going to say no if he wants to visit? Let's take India. How about Australia? Australia too. If Trump says I want to visit India or Australia, are they going to say oh we'd really love to have you but we got this law? No, they would just change the law or they do whatever they had to do or they just ignore it or something. Yeah, no, they'd let him in.
And then some people are thinking that China's social media is really pushing the Trump felon thing. So the thinking is that China is trying to push us into civil war. Let me explain something about Republicans that may not be obvious if you're watching from the outside. If you've seen all the street protests in the past few years — I said this before but it's worth repeating — the only thing that ever becomes a street protest is something that's organized and funded by some bigger entity. So there's no such thing as like an organic Black Lives Matter protest or Antifa. These are all organized things. Republicans don't have that. There's no entity that organizes Republicans for protests. So short of that, there's nothing that would cause everybody to just sort of pick up sticks and whatever else they have and go out in the street at the same time. And where would they even go? So there's no organizational structure that would cause Republicans to hit the streets. And I don't see it forming. And if it did form, I would probably tell you to ignore them.
And then you might say to me, but Scott, that's clearly not true because on the January 6 event that was organized and that was a big old problem. And I counter that with saying no, it wouldn't have even been anything except they were already there for Trump's speech. If the people weren't there for Trump's speech and therefore there was already a big crowd for that reason and they just had someplace else to go after the speech. So sure, there might have been people who had gone directly to the Capitol if there had never been any Trump speech, but how many? I mean a few hundred. It would have made no difference at all. It was only that there was just a massive crush of people and that was only because of a coincidence that they just happened to be there for Trump's speech. So no, I see absolutely no possibility that there is a civil war. Because even on January 6, the Republicans left their weapons home.
Now this is where the Democrats go, no they didn't, no they didn't. They brought the weapons. That was that one time that one person who had a stick. All right, so we're going to ignore all the stupid NPCs. I think I want to make a list of all the NPC comments. The thing that somebody will definitely say. I say the protesters were unarmed on January 6. What does the NPC say? What about the ones who use flagpoles to hit people? Okay, that did happen.

What about somebody had a gun in their car? Well okay, that probably happened too. But really, are those your counter to a 99% peaceful protest? All right. The 11th Circuit Court has upheld a ruling that said the venture capital firm can't be racist. Well that's good. Something called the Fearless Fund. They were trying to have some kind of grants that were race-based and they got sued. And appar…
