fair, but you can't decry the fact that the colonizers tried hard to make sure that the people they left thrived and sure enough they did. But here's the point that I don't think you could have said five years ago. That Africa has never worked. That the colonizers who colonized Africa often found out that they couldn't train the locals to take over. And her point is that you have to recognize that in every case the colonizers probably tried very hard to leave the locals in a good position to take care of themselves. And some places for reasons we don't have to get into, some places like Africa, it didn't work. It just never worked. And that probably has to do with, I'll just say the word, culture.

So at the very least it had to do with culture. But because this is obviously a landmine kind of topic, I'll go back to my original point. It's not about me arguing that this is true or false. It's about the fact that she could say it out loud and not get cancelled. And the only reason for that is that she's on X. You probably couldn't say it in many places, but you can say it on X. So that's a big change for free speech.

Sorry. One of the side effects of whatever's going on with me is that I have these little burping attacks.

Except culture is not a bad word. I'm answering the comments. Culture is not a bad word, but it opens up that Pandora's box of why and we don't need to get into that.

Well, the Rasmussen poll, which is coming out today, said this poll was taken before the Venezuela action, right? That 48% approved of the US seizing oil tankers. I think that was a plurality. So there were more people who approved it than didn't. And they also had this opinion when Trump said, quote, "You remember they took all our energy rights? They took all our oil not long ago and we want it back." 54% of voters agree with that. So yeah, I was telling you earlier that that's a strong frame. They took our oil and we're taking it back. That's a Rasmussen poll you'll see later today.

Well, Megyn Kelly had an interesting opinion on Venezuela that she talked about on her SiriusXM show and I liked it. This is a good opinion. She said that when I turned on Fox News yesterday and I'm sorry but it was like watching Russian propaganda. There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah-rah cheerleading. Let's go. Now that was also my opinion that the Fox News was basically all down for this right away.

Now I would make a distinction between cheering for the successful military operation, which seems fair, and I think they were definitely happy about it and their viewers were happy about it. And so you could see why they would be pretty rah about the military part. But Megyn Kelly's point is that that's j
