to get the Gaza thing right. And that would be hugely valuable for the Abraham Accords so that all the other Arab countries and Israel figure out how to work together productively and maybe that expands. So he's got that going too. But by far the best thing is that we all talk about the Nobel Prize if this happens. The Nobel Prize is making you think past the sale, which he's a genius at. He's ma…

e deal. Perfect. Who else does that? If you don't understand him, you just say, oh that narcissist, he just wants a Nobel Peace Prize. Well he definitely wants a Nobel Peace Prize. Who wouldn't? Everybody wants a Nobel Peace Prize. So of course he wants one. Of course he does. But he has to earn it. He's going to have to earn it. And you know he's going to try. So I love the fact that he makes us think about the Nobel Peace Prize. Other people would have an ego problem where they'd say, no that's too embarrassing. I can't say out loud that I should have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize. You can't say that out loud because people will just think you're some kind of a stuck-up narcissistic jerk or something. But have I ever taught you that Trump uses his ego like a tool? It's not a flaw. It's a tool. He can turn it up and he can turn it down. And he turned it up for the Nobel Peace Prize so that we all think about it and now we're thinking past the sale. If he didn't need it, maybe he would turn it down. But watching him work is truly, it's just breathtaking. There's nobody who could have created this entire structure from what you think about him to how he's framed it. It's all a structure that he's created and the way he's worked with his partners. Even they brought Jared in. So I guess Jared is going to be part of this now. What do you think when Jared gets involved? Well when I see Jared get involved, my brain says, oh my goodness, he's bringing in the A team. He's bringing in a finisher. Jared is a finisher. He's bringing in the finisher. Do you see what that does too? It makes you say, oh wait, we're in the finish mode. Like because he brought in the finisher. So every bit of this is just freaking brilliant. Honestly, if Trump gets it done, and I'm still not at a point where I'm going to predict that he can get it done because there are too many weasels over there. But if he gets this done, oh boy, does this deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. I mean it really deserves one 'cause what he's created already to even give us a chance is spectacular. It's spectacular.

All right. In other good news, our liquid natural gas exports hit a record high in September. Just in news is reporting on that. So that's good. Whenever we're exporting maximum amount of energy, things are looking good.

Remember that story about there was a room that was found that had all these cell phone SIM cards and it was presumed that some foreign entity was using it to crash our cell network if they ever wanted to crash it. And then it was found that it was a Chinese entity. So the Chinese had built a structure to crash our cell phones in an emergency. And then to update it now, we learned that they had a second facility that has been discovered. So they had two full facilities that had no other purpose, couldn't be used for anything else except to jam up our cell networks during an emergency 'cause you know why else would you do it? You would only do it if you could really mess with us. So how do we just act like that didn't happen? Is there so much spycraft going on between the US and China that we just look at this and go, ah well, nice try. Glad we caught you. We're doing things with you and you haven't caught us yet, so business as usual. Anyway, we'll see. But it doesn't seem like we could just have a normal relationship with them when they're doing that. I mean they literally put major physical assets in the United States for no other reason than sabotage. How do you let that go? Now I realize we need to buy their stuff but how do you let that go? I don't know.

Well, there's a story that I almost didn't want to talk about, but there's this guy running for Virginia Attorney General. Apparently he said some things in some emails that got out that were pretty bad. He was fantasizing about his opponent's children dying because he says if his opponent's children died then he might change his mind about some of his policies because without pain people don't change. And then he also said he made a joke that if he s

aw his opponent and Hitler and I don't know Stalin or somebody and he only had two bullets he would put both of the bullets in his opponent and let Hitler and Stalin live which is sort of an old joke just a form of an old joke. But his text messages got out and now people are calling for him to drop out. Here's my problem with this. I have a rule that if it's a private conversation that the perso…
