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…

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.

Here's my problem with this. I have a rule that if it's a private conversation that the person who released it is responsible for it. Meaning that the things that we say privately we say them privately because we don't want them anywhere else. And we say them privately because we think the person we're talking to can handle it and might put it in the proper context and you know that you're not serious about it. You're just having some hyperbole or something. But when it gets out in the wild, all the context is lost. And I usually say in these situations that the person responsible is the leaker. Whoever leaked it. The leaker should get fired for revealing a private conversation. So I'm very mad at whoever leaked it. Very mad.

So the timing could not be worse for saying something like that. So I hate to do it, but I'm going to violate my own rule and say that even though this was a private thought that happened to be expressed to one private person, this one you can't let go. You can't let this one go. This one's too dangerous. He's got to go. If they elect this guy, big mistake.

Well, apparently the Conservatives over in the UK, the Conservative Party, they're pushing to do some kind of an ICE organization to deport a whole bunch of people they want to deport. But I guess there are at least two parties over there that are anti-immigration, but they want to get as many as 750,000 migrants shipped back in five years. And they would call that the re

movals force. Politico is reporting on this. So I don't know. Do you think that the UK is going full Donald Trump and that they realize that they're going to have to do something about the migration situation or close up the country because they're done? I feel like the existence of Trump makes it possible for the UK to adjust because if they see that he did and that the US is getting on a firmer…
