expert but as soon as they showed it to me I said oh it looks like some military asset exploded near them. And further I assumed that there was not a direct hit because a direct hit would have blown it apart in the sky and there'd be a bigger hole and smoke before it went down. So it looks like and one of the reports suggested that maybe there was an anti-Russian missile attack against possibly a drone that they thought was criminal or they thought was the other side and maybe there was an explosion in the air and some of the shrapnel hit this plane and it had to do an emergency landing. So I think that's what's happened. But why didn't the experts say what I said on day one? 'Cause the holes were very obviously an external explosion that created random shrapnel that was from the outside in. I mean if I could tell and I've no experience in this field whatsoever if I could tell how many of you could tell? You saw the same thing I saw right? Most of you when you looked at it you knew that that was shrapnel right? And you knew it from the outside in. So why did it take like a day for us to have some expert tell us that? I know.

Meanwhile that border wall that Biden was trying to sell off the pieces before Trump got in office but apparently that's taken care of now because the auctioneer already agreed and maybe he was going to do it anyway but when Trump and everybody started complaining about it the person whose job it was to sell them said maybe I'll hold these until Trump gets in office. I assume the auctioneer is a Republican. Don't know that but citizen. So you all worried about the government Biden trying to sell these things for nothing and then you're like oh I hope the new government can stop the old government. It turns out all you needed was one auctioneer with common sense. Remember I keep telling you common sense is like our unifying theme for at least people on the right and people who agree with the right on some things. Common sense. The auctioneer made the only smart decision and he said well if I've got a new administration and they might not want to sell it I shouldn't sell it today. I should just put it in a pile and sell other things and wait a few weeks and see what happens. So thank you thank you auctioneer. So there was a citizen who stepped up looked at the situation and said huh doesn't seem to make much sense that I would sell them instead of waiting till next month. And if they still want to sell them because remember part of the story is that they might be damaged and they're not the good parts of the wall so it could be that nobody actually wants them but he's still smart to wait for the incoming administration to say what do you want to do with these. So good on you auctioneer.

So the Ukrainians are bragging about their new model for building lots of drones which involves a capitalist approach. So they're letting their drone makers compete and make money and that apparently is causing their drone industry small as it was to grow quickly and they think that they can make more drones than Russia because Russia has that crappy constipated economy and it's sort of a little more central planning and stuff. So the Ukrainians think that they can outcompete using the free market within Ukraine. It's not really free market because probably American money buys all the drones I'm guessing it's American money that buys them all but it's still from their point of view it's still just a competitive free market.

But here's the numbers. So they think they can make 200,000 drones in the coming year. There are roughly 500,000 Russian soldiers. 200,000 drones would kill how many soldiers? Well it depends what kind they are. Some of them might be surveillance and stuff but in general it's about one to one now. So the most updated information is that one well-designed drone even the small ones little hobby-sized drones it can locate one soldier and it can pretty accurately just dive bomb and explode and kill that one person. Sometimes it can kill more than one person let's say they're in some kind of vehicle or something. And so on average you know sometimes they'll get knocked down by anti-drone stuff sometimes something goes wrong but on average 200,000 drones is going to kill about 200,000 soldiers. Now even if you cut that in half can Russia lose 100,000 soldiers just to drones next year? Well probably they can because Putin's really dug in and he doesn't want to lose. But how many drones are they going to make the year after? Because if it doubles every year the year after maybe they make 400,000 drones. Maybe the United States and other countries in NATO are also making drones like crazy and using what they've learned in the Ukraine war to make sure these are really good killer drones.

So what happens if in 18 months or two years let's say worst case scenario the war continues for two more years I think they would have enough drones to kill every Russian soldier and the Russians would have enough to kill maybe half or two-thirds of the Ukrainian forces. But if you're Putin and you feel like you're winning you're in the catbird seat and you're going to negotiate hard. But suppose I said this before suppose President Trump sat down with Putin he said here's the deal. One drone kills one of your soldiers. If we don't make a deal that works for us I'm going to make sure Ukraine has one million killer drones in 18 months and your army is just going to disappear. We're going to evaporate them. Now he'll say well if you did that I would have to use nuclear weapons. And then Trump says to him no you won't because if you do we will. So your best case scenario is just to negotiate basically keep what you've already taken and let's wind this thing down. No no I will use nuclear weapons. No you won't. You're not going to use any nuclear weapons. That would be dumb. You've already got most of what you want. How about we just make a deal?

So when we talk about could Trump make a deal in one day he can if he puts enough pressure on. You know he would probably also say we're going to your economy and turn off your whatever pipelines you got left and all that but I think a million drones would be the entire story. Yeah we've got a million drones and that's what you're looking at next anyway.

Ukraine is apparently taking a tip from the IDF and they're disguising bombs to kill senior officials but they're disguising them as sort of ordinary items like a phone charger but it'd be really a bomb and some kind of document folder that's a bomb. It's according to the New York Post. So I guess the Ukrainians are trying to do decapitation strikes with the leadership of the Russians and that's probably a good strategy for negotiating because you know that obviously they can replace leadership it probably doesn't make much difference as long as it's not Putin. But if you were in the level that they were targeting and you had an option of settling the war and not be targeted oh you know I think you might say to yourself you know Putin this might be the time to negotiate an end to this because my neighbor who's got a job like me just got assassinated.

So here's a topic which I have not been into but I found myself horrified when I dug down one inch which is RFK Jr.'s book about Fauci and I guess he was on Del Bigtree's podcast talking about it and I don't quite understand the fullness of these stories but I'll read you what I saw. Maybe you can fact check me if this is accurate or not. But the claim is that Fauci was somehow involved in testing drugs on children but he picked foster homes so that the children had no parents and that there were massive injuries and that he did it more than once. Some were in America some in Africa. Now I'm going to call these allegations because really I can't really wrap my head around the enormity of how evil this would be if it's true. So I'm a little skeptical but I'm mostly skeptical about my own understanding of the story. So that's where my skepticism is on myself because I don't know all the details. I haven't read the book. I just saw some summary about it. But now I've heard it before that he was trying to test things in Africa and Bill Gates was trying to test things in Africa but I don't think that's necessarily a mistake is it? If you knew there was something that would be really good for Africa and really good for the rest of the world if you could test it and there was only one place you could legally and practically test it I can see why you'd talk yourself into testing it in Africa. And if it doesn't go well there's going to be deaths and maybe you knew that you would have less problems if he did it in Africa and maybe you would have fewer problems if it was kids who didn't have biological parents in their lives. So I'm willing to believe that this level of evil actually happened for profit but I'm still skeptical that I understand it well enough and that there's no counterargument to it. So I'm going to put this in my oh my God this looks awful but maybe there's more to the story.

All right well I always tell you there's a new battery breakthrough. Now there's engineers, top 1% probably, developed ultra fast charging battery according to The Cool Down and Rick Casmer was writing about it that would make batteries and this case it would be the existing kind of batteries the lithium I think they just add some simple chemical what is it is Betadine. So you've probably heard of Betadine I think that's the brand name it's a common thing that might be in your medicine cabinet and they just add that to sort of existing technology and it gives us thi
