huh that's weird but you know we've done it before. I mean we did it with Saddam Hussein. So it's not the strangest thing that would ever happen if it's the federal government. But where does a state get off doing international negotiations? What do I not know about this story? Because to me this is illegal. What am I missing? How can a state put a bounty on somebody's head in another country? How is that legal? Does anybody know how that's legal?

No I'm not opposed to it. I don't think it'll make any difference so being opposed to it or not opposed to it doesn't make any difference I don't think. But it doesn't feel like it's legal. It doesn't feel like it should be legal but probably is. I can't imagine it's hard for me to imagine that two senators would not know that something was illegal. They would know but it's kind of surprising. Is it kind of surprising?

Well speaking of Venezuela the Chicago gangs are apparently having a tough time because the Venezuelans are trying to move in and steal their drug dealing stuff. Do you remember what Peter Zeihan said? So I don't have any independent corroboration this is just something Peter Zeihan said on a video that the reason you don't hear much about the LA black gangs you know the Crips and the Bloods it's not that they don't exist it's that their operation was basically taken over by the Mexican cartels and that the way they took over the businesses they just murdered the black gang members until they controlled the territory.

Now I don't know if that's true but I do know I don't hear much about black gang members in LA. Do you? When was the last time you heard about a black gang member problem in LA? I feel like that used to be more news and just sort of it's like it doesn't exist anymore. So my question is is there some possibility that the Venezuelans are just going to take all of that illegal business from the black gangs in Chicago? You know life is so unpredictable. Who saw this coming?

Now the Chicagoans including the gang members apparently are quite upset that the Venezuelans are coming in not only getting government assistance. Imagine this. You're a black citizen in Chicago and let's say you're in the lower income level and you find out that your government is giving money that you think could have gone to you. I mean if the government had extra money for poor people why is it going to the Venezuelan migrants instead of you? That's what you'd think. Reasonably that'd be a reasonable thing to think.

And then what if you were also feeling that because yo
