. I know you want to, but the government's preventing you. Now we're going to protect the country. We're going to keep out the bad elements, etc. Now, I'm assuming and get rid of the grooming gangs and stuff like that. Now, what's interesting is that Tate allegedly has converted to Islam. So is it possible he would get some Muslim support as long as he's said some version of, you know, I'm Muslim…

And I see people doing it, and I just always bristle when I see that. It's like that was a long time ago. If they're not currently supporting the KKK and they couldn't be further from it, then it doesn't really matter what they did in the past.
All right, then there's, let's see, Emmanuel Macron is directly accusing Musk of interfering with elections, including Germany. And I guess that's all I need to say about that one.
Meanwhile, you heard that we've already talked about this. Biden banned offshore oil drilling before he leaves office, and only in certain places that there isn't a lot of drilling right now. So I don't know how big a deal it is in the real world, but it looks like he was just trying to kneecap Trump so Trump couldn't allow drilling there. But here's the weird part. All the experts are saying it's irreversible, that Trump doesn't have any way to back out of it. And it has to do with a previous court ruling called Chevron deference. I'm going to get all this wrong because this is not my expertise, the law. But as best I understand it, there was some prior situation that went to the Supreme Court in which an agency of the government had made a ruling that we should do something this way. And somebody else said no, you can't do it that way. We're going to stop you or reverse it. And then the Supreme Court said we're not going to reverse an agency's opinion unless you've got a really strong reason that that is beyond just we have a different opinion. And so as long as it's just a difference of opinion of how things should be and nothing more than that, the courts won't touch it based on precedent.
Now, so that would suggest that the ruling is made. If Trump wanted to overturn it, you imagine the courts would be involved. But the smart people say but you won't win, and it could take years to get through. But here's my take. Nothing's irreversible. There's nothing that you can't cancel or reverse. That's not a thing. It might be that it's hard. It might be that somebody didn't yet figure out how to do it. It might be that you have to be messy and take some hits to get it done. It might be that you have to do something that's never been done. Maybe you have to take some penalties. But I think you can reverse anything that's a decision that the country made. So I'll just give you some examples. So if the reason it's staying is because an agency has ruled on it, then Trump simply has to give a better reason that's not just a better opinion but like really overwhelmingly unique situation. This really needs to be reversed. He could probably do that. I don't know. Could probably come up with an argument of why it needs to be reversed. But it might take a few years to do it. So I don't even know if it's worth doing, but we'll see.
Trump did say he would reverse all the executive orders from Biden. But we wonder if that one's going to be an exception because if he reverses the executive order, the courts won't accept it. So we'll see.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting how Iran has pulled pretty much everything of their assets out of Syria. And if you didn't know, that's a really big deal because Syria was sort of their land bridge to Hezbollah and their ability to equip and fund their proxies. So now Iran has no air defenses. Israel's taking out their air defenses. They've lost Syria, which means that they can't reinforce Hezbollah at least in any efficient way. And Hezbollah has been beaten back at the moment, and Hamas is just annihilated. And apparently Iran spent billions of dollars to get Syria up and running as their proxy base station, and they lost all that.
Now, I would agree that this is the perfect setup for Trump to get some kind of a deal. I don't think I've ever seen a better setup. Trump is coming in exactly at the time when we can make deals, and there's a way to do it. It almost seems like a God-inspired kind of thing. It's like really, all these things need to be handled from Ukraine to Iran. It needs to be handled with deals. And the best, most famous, I won't say best, but the most famous dealmaker in the world is coming into office at exactly the time everything's just perfectly set up to make a deal. When have we ever seen that before? It's like weirdly great. It's like almost too good to be true. Everything from Greenland to Ukraine, it's just all things that he can make a deal on, and it looks all doable. It's weird. It's going to make you think that Biden was even worse than you already think. Because if Trump comes in and immediately wraps

up some things that Biden couldn't wrap up, any questions about who is the best president ever and who was the worst will be answered. And I think that's going to happen. I saw the amuse account on X pointing out that Soros prosecutors, the people that Soros funded, those prosecutors, 40% of the homicides in the US take place in districts with Soros-funded prosecutors. Now, some of that is becaus…
