s caused a lot of people to be talking about World War III and how close we are to a nuclear confrontation because Russia's doing things that look like they're teasing a nuclear preparation, and we're doing things back that look like, you know, if you nuke us we'll nuke you. And I remind you again, you've never been safer. You're in the safest moment of all of American history because waiting for Trump, nobody's going to mess around. Nobody's going to mess around while we've got a few weeks before Trump gets there and just sorts things out. Now even if you say, but Scott, Trump is not a Superman. He can't make everything go away in a week. Maybe. But at the moment, most people think he can. Most reasonable people think he actually can make most of our problems go away in a week. I mean, he can make DEI go away in a week, right? He could probably get our hostages released. I don't know if he'll do that, but it's within reason that it could happen within a week. And he could definitely at least get something like a ceasefire and some talks going with Ukraine in a week. So if Putin is not insane, then he just waits a little while and gets most of or everything he wants. Why would he nuke us? And why would we nuke them when if we just wait a few weeks, we'll probably wrap it up and get at least some of what we want?

So I remind you, it always looks the darkest before the dawn, as they say. And I get all the things you're seeing, all the scary saber rattling, but that's just what happens before you do the serious peace talks. So we have never ever been safer from an intentional nuclear war. An accidental one, I don't know. You maybe there's something that makes that a little more likely. But yeah, no, we're nowhere near any kind of nuclear war. You can stop worrying about that. You have like a million things that are a bigger problem than that. That's not the one you need to worry about. I promise you that you will not be nuked between now and January 20th. I don't know about after that, but you're good for now.

Well, let's talk about the nominees. So Pete Hegseth, of course, said 10 anonymous people say that they think he drinks too much and has some bad behaviors. But they were all anonymous, huh? But then I've never seen any one person have more supporters weigh in with their name. Pretty much, I don't know if it's all of them, but a whole bunch of people who worked with him every day, like actually sat on the couch next to him in his segments, worked just the two of them for years sometimes. Everyone who weighed in with their name said these stories are complete bullshit. He's totally professional. He has never smelled of alcohol, never looked like he's had alcohol during the job. Everybody agrees he's had some drinks at night. He's had some fun, maybe more fun than he wanted to have. But not a single one of his co-workers who know him really, really well for years, not one of them who gives their name says that any of this is real.

And so let me give you a strong opinion on this. Yesterday I was saying, hmm, how do you weigh 10 or so anonymous accusations? If there were only one anonymous accusation, I'd rule it out completely. If there are 10, you have to at least treat it a little bit seriously. But once you have 10 people who are in exactly the right place to observe this behavior, and they say clearly and unambiguously and strongly, absolute 100%, I think I'm going to go with the Fox News co-workers. So you know, I don't know him, so I do
