ill move one vote. I really don't know that it'll make any difference because they really just wanted somebody who wasn't brain dead. You know we finally hit the limit of how low they would be willing to go. Well okay brain dead might be too far. I'm going to admit that not having a functioning brain okay that might be a standard we can agree on. But a simple bad debate I don't know might not chan…
← Previous segment →attern. So there's a former New York state official, government official, was arrested and charged with being an agent of the Chinese government. And apparently she worked for both Andrew Cuomo when he was governor and current governor Kathy Hochul. She's been off the payroll for a while but apparently there is strong evidence that China was paying her to push positions and promote Chinese interests in New York state. Does that sound familiar? It looks like China is doing a hell of a good job in getting their agents and employees to marry and date and work for politicians.
All right here's just the strangest story. You know you've all heard the story by now that the Venezuelan gangs have allegedly taken over a couple of apartment buildings and then some of the locals say that's never happened that's just completely made up. And every day the news says it is true in some way or it's on social media. And every day I wait for evidence that is true. Evidence would be like a video that I really knew was that building and I knew what was happening with full context. I haven't seen anything like that. So what is going on? I don't discount the fact that it might be happening exactly the way people are saying that the Venezuelans have teamed up and used their muscle to take over some apartment building in Denver or something. I don't know. But I would say that I'm solidly in coin flip territory on this story. Absolute coin flip. I could, I would not make a bet one way or the other whether it's true. My guess is there's like a little truth to it but maybe something's exaggerated in the telling. Just a guess. But imagine the fact that it's one of the top stories and it's been in a lot of different news entities and I can't tell if it really happened. There's nothing that would give me an idea it really happened or didn't really happen. That's the weirdest story.
Yeah so today there's a video of what alleges to be an apartment or a hotel in which the migrants left. So they tried to connect it to that story but you look at the video and it's so obviously fake. The video is from some other context quite obviously. So I don't know what to believe. It's all fake news.
All right. I remind you that Elon Musk is going hard on Brazil and that one judge, Judge Alexandre, and so he has this at Alexandre de Moraes account which every day will release new evidence that that judge broke the laws in Brazil. Which is he's really going hard at him. I mean I do like the fact that Elon plays for keeps so he's going to put this judge in jail if he can but I think Brazil is too rigged for anything like that to happen so I don't know.
Here's another story I have some doubts about. Allegedly North Korea's Kim Jong Un ordered up to 30 officials to be executed for their failure to prevent mass floodings some time ago. And there were 4,000 deaths from the flooding and so Kim Jong Un allegedly told the locals to treat those officials, the local authorities I guess, to treat them brutally. And I'm not sure I believe this story and the reason I don't believe it is that it's too on the nose. Don't you think South Korea or somebody wants you to believe that he's just randomly killing his own people? Now I'm not saying that he's never killed anybody because it seems likely that he has. But do you think that thi

s is true? Do you think he really had 30 people executed because they didn't do enough for flood prevention? Does that sound true to you? I'm going to lay my bet on not true. Now that doesn't mean nobody was killed. If it turned out that three people were executed I would say more likely yes than no. If I hear 30 people were executed no I actually don't believe that. So I'm going to go no on this…
