could have been. But I do believe that Trump has a plan that appears to be working. So he announced that Venezuela was going to give up to the United States 30 to 50 billion gallons of oil. And Trump says it will be entirely up to him how that oil is used. It will be sold on the market, of course. But what Trump is doing in his Trumpian way is promising that some amount of that will directly bene…
← Previous segment →l update. I'm still working on what to do with all my intellectual property after I pass. Obviously it will be owned by my estate. But we've been experimenting. Jay Plemmons has been helping me to see if I can turn my regular reframes from my book into a video that looks like me talking about the reframe. And he did some examples and they look pretty good. You can tell they're AI, but they're so close to the original, which would be me doing it, that I think it's completely workable.
So I'm working on that. We will have more updates as we see what's technically and practically possible, because a big part of it is how do I protect my IP, my intellectual property, at the same time let people have fun with it and put it in one place so that people know how to find it, etc. So it'll have to be protected. But I want to make it as widely available as possible.
Speaking of me, yesterday I guess it was, Trump put a statement on the White House website about the January 6 event. And some people pointed out that the language that Trump used to describe it seems like it might have come from me. Now, not directly. I'm not consulting for the White House or anything like that, but there are some things I say a lot. And let me see if you can identify things that you heard me say.
I talked about the scripted TV spectacle that they used to reverse the reality. Now, lots of people talked about the scripted TV production of it. But what I added was, well, let me just read Trump's words. He said, "The Democrats masterfully reversed reality." Do you remember how I kept saying that they reversed reality? They masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as insurrectionists and framing the event.
Now, have you noticed that the word framing has become much more popular since I started following politics? So framing and reframing, you always have to wonder, did that come from him? Framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump despite no evidence of armed rebellion or, here's the part that counts, intent to overthrow the government.
Remember, I made a big deal about the fact that the entire January 6 committee and all the hearings and nobody in the news or in the hearings ever asked them, "What was your intention?" But Trump's on it. He's noting that they never identified any intention. There's nobody who said they were trying to overthrow the government. And if you ask them what they were doing, they would have said they were trying to save the government. And they would mean it because they believed it was an obviously rigged election.
And then Trump says, in truth it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ig

noring widespread irregularities and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters. Does that sound like me? Yeah, I introduced the word hunting about Republicans and despite no evidence of an intention and that the Democrats essentially reversed reality. Now, here's where he sums it up. Trump does on the web page. He said this gaslighting narrative allowed them to persecute innocent Ameri…
