o know what he thinks he knows that we don't know. Maybe it's the other way around.

All right. Have you ever noticed that when you're talking with anti-Trumpers and you mention that the Russia collusion thing fell apart and it was a giant hoax, they don't really say, my God you certainly were right. Look how wrong I've been for all this time. Let me apologize for any suggestion that there could be some Russian collusion. They don't do that. They don't do that. They usually bring up Manafort, right? Or they bring up the related people who had problems but usually Manafort. And I started to think that Manafort has become like a comfort pet. A therapy dog. I mean Manafort is literally the Democrats' therapy animal. Because if they think about Russia, the Russia collusion hoax completely falling apart, humiliating them all in public, showing that they don't know anything about how the world works, showing how easily they were duped and of course it leaves Trump in power. That's got to be really, uh oh. Manafort. Manafort. Aha. He's in jail. Yeah and he had something. He was part of the campaign. Sure it's unrelated things. He's in jail for nothing that had anything to do with Russia. But uh, my comfort therapy animal. Never hurt. At least we had Manafort. So Manafort has become instead of a story he's become a comfort animal.

Anyway the big story on social media today is the platforms that are banning conservatives. Are you watching all this? I don't yet know what to make of it because one of the things that happens when people get banned is that the people who are banned have trouble telling their side of the story because they're banned. Now people like — was it Watson? We've got banned on Facebook but he's still on Twitter so I can see a little bit. But I don't really see and I don't even think they know. They don't know why they were kicked off. They don't know why they were kicked off. So if they don't know they can't explain it to us. So I feel as though we're sort of in the dark. I would love to know what rules they crossed. And I don't even have a full list of who got banned. I know some of them. Laura Loomer, Joseph Watson, James Woods. But I don't know if they got banned for similar reasons. PJW who's got banned.

So here's an interesting thing. Suppose China formed a Facebook competitor and said that at least for your traffic that shows in the United States we won't censor you. How hard would it be for China to just create a Facebook competitor that at least within the United States isn't bad? Yeah some interesting thing on Farrakhan and Milo, Alex Jones. Oh he was already kicked off but I guess he got kicked off some more things. So you know the thing that everybody wonders is is this the beginning of just getting rid of conservatives off the platforms? I don't think there's any chance of that. So I find myself in an awkward situation where I want to weigh in aggressively against censorship but I also don't know the facts. I don't know why they were kicked off. I mean some of them are obvious in terms of the types of things they say but I kind of have to see the exact thing. I would have to see the exact thing to really have a sense of it. So I guess I don't know if this is the beginning of something large or if this has something to do with just some specific voices that they've been looking at for a long time.

Snoop Dogg is mad that Farrakhan got kicked off. Well it seems to me that it was fairly brilliant of I think it was Facebook who kicked off Farrakhan at the same time they kicked off a number of conservative people. And that was probably very smart for them to do because it gives them cover. But let me just say that I'm monitoring the situation so I haven't formed an opinion yet because I don't have enough information.

All right I have a suggestion that I'm gonna put in the bad idea pile. So what I'm gonna suggest isn't necessarily a good idea but it makes me, you know it might inspire some good ideas. So here it is. Right now immigration is at a standstill because it seems that there's no freaking way that the Democrats will get everything they want. There's no way that the Republicans will get what they want. So we just don't have a solution and we really, really need one. It's a legitimate crisis. So I would suggest the following. Both sides should draw up their plan and present it to the public. And maybe their plans could be scored in some way the way the OMB scores budgets. So some kind of independent entity needs to score the two plans. And if the Democrats don't want to create a plan then I think the Republicans should create one that represents their current position. In other words you should have two plans. One of them is this is everything that the Republicans would like to do and it would be comprehensive. So everything from how many people they want to let in, the wall, the merit system, the lottery, the visa overstays. So just cover everything from the families coming in. A comprehensive Republican plan which we all know has no chance of getting passed right but bear with me. So it doesn't matter that it's impossible. Just like to see what it would look like.

And if the Democrats don't want to come up with their own plan and actually you know what it is then the plan to compare to is the do-nothing plan. Do you see where this is going yet? Yes the public saw the Republican plan in its fullness. The kind that could never get approved because it's a full plan you know not just teeny little things that maybe the Democrats would negotiate for but just a full plan. Could they associate with their full plan? What does it do to wages? What does it do to employment in this country of people who are already here? What does it do to tax revenues? What does it do to our social systems? What does it do to crime? And so you create a set of metrics that says we don't know for sure but this plan scored by the people who are good at doing this thing says that the outcome over ten years would look like this set of statistics.

Then if the Democrats don't want to create their own full plan — I suspect that would be true because it would expose the flaws in it — take the other plan as business as usual and just say if we continue to be incompetent our current system this many people will get in compared to the other system. This much crime, this much expense, this many people get raped. And you have to go to that level. So you say okay you know the Democrat system gets you 125,000 rapes in ten years which is probably not an overestimate. I mean it's gonna be something like that over ten years right. Because don't you figure there are more than ten thousand sexual assaults in the whole immigration world south of the border even before they get here as part of the caravans and everything else. So something like 125,000 rapes under the Democrat plan.

Now the Democrats have made the case that immigration is just good for the economy and part of their argument is that our economy is doing so well we actually need some workers. Now that's not a dumb thing to say. I don't have any kind of automatic objection to the fact that our economy is so good we need to bring in workers. So you would include some good benefits on the Democrats' plan of essentially do nothing. There would be benefits but there would also be costs. It would be crime. There would be a difference to the Republican plan.

So here's my suggestion to get us off of nothing. The Republicans should create the plan they want. Not the plan that they would have to negotiate down to. Show us the actual freaking full plan with everything you want so we can see it. Then compare it to do nothing which is the Democrat plan. If the Democrats want to add a real plan that's got details and stuff and maybe each of the candidates running for president maybe they have their own plan that we could have the same entity or entities — maybe you have an entity on the left and one on the right just to make it fair — you have them score them and then you present them to the public. Because the public needs to beat the crap out of its government to get something done.

All right the public is going to probably have to break the logjam. The government we know can't do it on its own. It's going to have to be forced. It's going to have to be forced on them by the public. But the public is unarmed because we don't have the plans. If you ask me do I like the Republican plan for immigration I would have to say what plan? What plan? I've heard parts. I've never heard a plan. Have you? I've never heard a complete plan. I've never seen it scored. I've never seen it projected. I've seen just part. Here's a wall. We'd like to do something with this. We'd like to do something with this. Show us a freaking plan. If the Republicans can't show me a plan I can't support it. I can't support the Republicans. I can't support the president without a plan. All right. And if the president is just saying hey Congress give me a plan well I'm not sure that's doing a good job right. The president needs to take a little leadership on this. Give us a whole plan but don't show us a plan until you can show us the comparison.

All right people who have studied economics, people who study business, anybody who's been in science, there are some disciplines in which you would never pay attention to a plan in isolation. You would always say compared to
