once you leave the FDA, you can go work for Pfizer and they'll pay you a million dollars a year, whatever it is. But if you continue working for the government, we will also give you a million dollars a year. We'll match it. But you'll be on our side. So you'll do extra work and you'll go extra deep, and you work with the FDA. You won't be on the FDA, but let's say you work with them or for them o…
← Previous segment →t the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, and the SEC were all investigating Joe and Hunter Biden but were told to stand down. And Jim Biden was even being investigated for Medicare fraud. Insurrection Barbie's talking about this on X. Apparently six banks reported to the Treasury Department that the Bidens were committing financial crimes, but everyone was told to stand down.
Now, wouldn't that be the biggest story in the country except for all the other biggest stories? How in the world is that just a little article in Breitbart? Do you think it's true? Do you think it's true that all these entities were going to investigate the Bidens — and you know, keep in mind this is when they knew there was a risk because they were powerful creatures. So if all these entities were willing to investigate them even knowing that it would be risky, and they had to be told not to, it does suggest there was some pretty strong evidence. Not proof. Everybody's innocent until proven guilty, and they haven't been proven guilty. But it certainly would be the biggest story in the country under normal times. I am curious how much else we'll find out about what I think is the crime family.
So Trump is signing a directive to counter foreign social media censorship. So Dan Fries of Reclaim the Net is writing about this. So I guess he's trying to challenge our European — mostly European, I think — saying that they, by taxing our social media, they're basically doing it to censor them and trying to control them in various ways, censorship as well as taxation. And Trump wants the taxation and the censorship to be curtailed.
Now, I don't know what he can do about it. So that's why he signed a directive. The directive is figure out what to do about this. I assume it means we're going to put more pressure on our alleged allies. But let me say this as clearly as possible. I've said this before, but it can't be said enough. If you're trying to curtail free speech in my country, you're not my ally. England, France, whoever you are, we love you, but you're not my ally if you're trying to curtail my free speech. That is a line which you cannot cross. That's a red line. That's as bright as it could possibly be. And if it weren't for Trump, I don't know that we'd be doing anything about it.
So sometimes you think, you know, Trump is fun and sometimes you like what he's doing and sometimes you don't. But this is one of those cases where this is essential. This is essential Trump. Nobody else would do this. I don't know if he'll succeed, but it's going to require putting pressure on allies like we've never seen. He's the only person I know who would do it. There's no other normal president who would put pressure on our allies over this. But it is really, really important. And yeah, he should bring the entire toolbox. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. Anything. It might take getting out of NATO. I mean, is that serious? So whatever he has to threaten, bring it on. Let's bring the threats on, because we need to ratchet this up. This can never happen again. So he's got to be tough on that. I support that 100%.
Meanwhile, down in Mexico, if you didn't know, the big cartel, the Sinaloa cartel, apparently has two factions, and the two factions are fighting it out. And there's a great article by José de Córdoba in the Wall Street Journal. And so there's a whole bunch of murder going on because they're fighting it out for control of things. But one of the things that I thought was fascinating is the number of fentanyl labs. So there was just one little area that had 100 fentanyl labs. And I guess the labs have to keep moving because the other cartel members keep narking them out. So apparently the way you compete if you're in a cartel and there are other factions in the cartel is that if you find out where the other faction's lab is, you turn them in so that the government tries to close them down. I'm assuming the government does. But even if you just turned them in and let your bad guys go and take out the lab. So there's this gigantic fight over just hundreds of different fentanyl labs.
And part of me just wishes they just fight it out. But it was hilarious that one of the lab operators quoted this. They were talking about they have to do so much security now for their labs that it's hitting their bottom line. And they just talk like regular business people. And so one of the lab operators says they have to increase production to cover higher costs for gunmen, intelligence, and weapons. He goes, quote, "If before we were making 10 million pills, now we have to make 20 million." They just talk like ordinary business people. They need DOGE anyway.
At one point I wondered, wouldn't it be better instead of us attacking the cartels to simply provide all the intelligence that the factions need to attack each other? Suppose we send our drones up there, we find all their little

lab locations. I don't know if we can. I don't know if there's any way to find them from the air. But suppose we could, and then we just turn it over to the other faction and just let them destroy each other until they're so weakened that then you go in. But you wait until they've just beaten themselves into nothing. There is some worry that if the Sinaloa cartel implodes over their internal conf…
