most of my early adulthood. But as soon as I did, I kept seeing people claim the slippery slope. And I kept saying, there's no logic called the slippery slope. Sometimes things keep going the way they're going and sometimes they don't. There's no logic to it. You can't use that to predict. But people did. They did use it to predict and sometimes they would get it right because there were only two…

All right. Trump is also at some event, he said that he believes that the New York Times and the legacy media have committed treason with their fake news. And the fake news that he's mad about is that they seem to be reporting that his health is slowing him down. Do you believe that? Do you believe that Trump's health is slowing him down? I'm not really seeing it. I mean it wouldn't be unusual that somebody has one week that's different than the other week, but do you think so? Do you think he's slowing down?
I can't tell if your comments are to what? Sometimes I see the answer, but then I've lost the thread of what it was to.
All right. People confuse intentional with being slippery. Yeah, intentional would be predictable. If you knew somebody was intentionally driving something in some direction, that would be somewhat predictable.
All right. So we're still back there because we've got lots of people watching.
All right. So I don't know that the New York Times has committed treason by reporting that they think he's slowing down at the age of 80ish. I don't think that's the worst problem in the world. Like if you've got a president who is so experienced and so good that at age 80, people are saying, "Yeah, that's a good president." I don't think I'd worry about him slowing down.
All right. But definitely not treason. I think he goes too far when he calls stuff like that treason. Clearly it's political and clearly it's fake news. But treason is a little bit of a threat and I don't think we need that. Although you could argue that they're just using free speech and you could argue that he's just using free speech, but it's not the kind of free speech I appreciate. It's legal, but I don't appreciate it.
All right. Did you know that there is apparently a sophisticated smuggling network that was operating in the country and the attorney general for it looks like Texas got a hold of them and justice will be coming. But did you know that's a big thing? So a bunch of chips for AI, I think, were being stolen and sent to China, it looks like.
I feel like we should just steal our own stuff and give it to China. Cut out the middleman because it always ends up there, right? How would you like to be the person who receives the new technology, you know, the stuff that China doesn't have, but you're a Chinese scientist. You're like, "All right, here's a chip. Reproduce this chip." "How do I do that?" "Just copy it." It doesn't really work that way. It can't be easy to copy a microchip, can it? Is there some way to actually take a photo of it and then move it directly over to another machine to make a copy? There might be. Maybe that's a thing. I don't know how you copy a microchip.
Well, CIA director or former CIA director, he's not there now, but John Brennan actually according to Wall Street Apes, I saw them, they found a video of him recently, in which he said the CIA pays people to be spies and then blackmails them if they change their mind.
So what they try to do, CIA, according to Brennan, is that they try to make sure that the spy takes some money when it's early on in the relationship because if the spy has taken money and then they get cold feet later and they think maybe it's too risky and they don't want to do it, then the CIA could just sort of whisper to him. So then you don't want to take money for spying against your home country. Is that what you're saying? No, no, no. Don't tell anybody. I thought we had a deal. Oh, we do have a deal.
Yeah. I'm just trying to get clear. Are you saying that you're no longer going to take money for spying against your home country? Now just that question alone, I'm making this part up. This did not come from Brennan. But if you simply frame the situation that way, a spy is going to assume that you're going to turn him in if you stop spying for them or at least be at risk.
So if you wondered, is the CIA a spy organization that's also a blackmail organization? The answer is apparently yes. Apparently yes. That the CIA uses blackmail as part of their normal operations, which is no surprise to anybody who's ever watched a movie about a spy. I mean, is there anybody who didn't know that?
So that puts the whole Epstein thing in a different light, doesn't it? It is one thing if you knew, well I suppose it's possible that

these intelligence agencies are using blackmail and I guess it's possible they might have used Epstein for that but if you go from it's possible to it's the routine way we do this and always have, well that looks pretty different doesn't it? Yeah. So I saw a factoid today that I did not fact check. Can somebody give me a fact check on this? Is it true that famous gangster Whitey Bulger from Bosto…
