uld stop me and say, "How good do you think the technology is for Social Security?" I always said, "Well, obviously if it's on a database, they would have fixed that a long time ago because it's such an important system, so my guess would be it's pretty advanced." Well, nothing like that's true. Turns out that the Social Security system is aging and needs a total overhaul to be digital-first. And…
← Previous segment →nest with you. For the first time in my 100 days on this job, the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don't know if I want to do this anymore," Martin said. And then he said, "No one knew. No one knows who the hell I am." Right. No one knows who the hell I am.
Can you imagine being Ken Martin and you're trying to do the business of the DNC and you call somebody up and you say, "Hey, this is Ken Martin." And whoever answers his phone has no idea who you are. But if David Hogg called, they'd be like, "Oh, David Hogg, co-chair of the DNC." So in one way, you could look at this as a slight condemnation of Ken Martin because he hasn't done enough to distinguish himself. But on the other hand, it's sort of a compliment to David Hogg who sucked all the energy out of the room. Now, you know, when Trump does it, when Trump sucks all the energy out of a room, I compliment him. So I'm going to be consistent. You don't have to love what David Hogg is doing. You don't have to love his opinions or anything about him. But when he goes into a situation and sucks all the energy out of the room so you don't even know who his co-chair is, well, that does suggest a level of skill, which is not an accident. So I would keep an eye on him. I think his flaws are almost entirely based on being young and that is self-healing. So I hate to tell you but as ineffective as David Hogg seems today, his raw skill level and his personality and charisma really do make him a threat for the future. So if someday there's a President Hogg, don't be shocked. I don't think it'll happen for 30 years, but he's got plenty of time to mature and learn all the smart ways to do stuff. So remember, he's not dumb. Some of the Democrats that you like to criticize are actually not very smart, but he's not one of those. He's actually very smart. He's just inexperienced and that, as I say, is self-healing. So watch out for him.
Let's talk about Kash Patel and Epstein as we have a hundred times. So Kash Patel says that there are no videos of famous people doing horrible things to victims on Epstein Island. But my question would be how would we ever know if such things existed at one time and somebody just took them away? That wouldn't be knowable, would it? But wasn't there a room that Kash Patel recently found that had a whole bunch of documents in it that nobody even knew was a storage room for sensitive documents? Well, what if they never found that room? We would just assume that all the stuff in that room was non-existent because nobody could find it. So I don't think it means anything when Kash Patel says there's no documents that exist that would show that Epstein was murdered or that any celebrities did any terrible crimes on the island. The only thing we know for sure, well, we don't even know that for sure, but probably I would give him the benefit of the doubt. The one thing we know for sure or mostly for sure is that he doesn't have it. So I do believe him when he says I don't have any damning evidence of famous people, but even that could be something that's a state secret. Wouldn't it be a state secret if we had some other head of state doing bad things on the island? Do you think that Kash Patel would have the authority or even would

think it's a good idea to out some other head of state or a family member of a head of state? That would be a terrible idea because we would create this whole animosity with some other countries that we didn't really need to. Now, would justice be served? Nope. But when you're dealing with international relations, you end up doing all these terrible tradeoffs. You know, people die if they do this,…
