would that count as declassification? And the lawyer said — what did the lawyer say? What do you think? Did the lawyers say that that's true as long as he signals by his actions? The answer is yes. The people who identified as lawyers said yes, he just has to signal it by his actions and it's declassified. There isn't any legal risk here is there? Because even if you allow that you found the lawy…

it but then it's war. So we can go into their country and just take them out. Now I wouldn't drop a missile on them. I wouldn't fire a missile into China. You have to do it on the ground but it wouldn't be hard. How hard would it be to kill a fentanyl kingpin? Just by giving him an injection of fentanyl. All right, pretty easy. All you need is a blow dart with a little fentanyl and it's like and Mr. Kingpin is dead.

Now I don't know how hard it is to get a Chinese agent into China but I've got a feeling that there might be a couple people who are not happy with the government over there might want to give us a little help. There might be somebody. Yeah, blow darts with fentanyl. Get over it. As long as the fentanyl is in the dart, okay? It's not the safest thing anybody ever did but murder is never really that safe. It really isn't.

I'm going to make a prediction. There isn't the slightest chance that we will not attack the cartels in Mexico. There isn't the slightest chance that's not going to happen. Because let me tell you what's going to happen. The number of fentanyl deaths will keep climbing and at some point you're all going to be where I am. Well I've been there a long time. And where I am is we're in the middle of a war and there's nothing I won't do. Nothing. Nope. Would I kidnap the president of Mexico? Yes. Yeah I would if it would work. I mean it wouldn't work right? Would I annex Mexico? Yep. Yep I would annex Mexico. Yeah, you'd have a hard time coming up with something I wouldn't do to stop this problem. I can't think of anything I wouldn't do.

Would I start machine gunning the coyotes? Yes I would. Yeah I would start killing the coyotes where they stand anytime you can see them from our side of the border. In fact I'd send drones in and just start killing the coyotes wherever they are. Would it help? I don't care. If you took out the cartel operations would it have stopped the fentanyl trade? I don't care. I don't care. It might slow down the next person who wanted to start it but you have to make sure that everybody who deals fentanyl dies a horrible death and fairly soon.

I would also start executing our fentanyl dealers publicly. Publicly. I think a fentanyl dealer needs to be executed publicly above a certain level. I'm not talking about the onesies-twosies street dealers. I'm talking about the big ones. Public execution. In fact if Trump ran on that platform — public execution for fentanyl dealers and I will attack the cartels in office — I'd be all in. I would be all in.

Somebody thinks I'm I support Sharia. Yeah that's a little bit of a leap from attacking, from killing mass murderers to Sharia law. There's a little bit of a leap there. About the mules who transport it, I think you have to make some distinctions in terms of how much they're involved. I wouldn't kill somebody for maybe necessarily transporting it across the border if they're an American citizen. If it's not an American citizen and they transport one pill of fentanyl over the border I would kill them. I'd kill them if they transported it to sell. Yeah I would say yeah. If you don't live in this country and you take one pill across our border I'd kill them. Too far? No there's nothing that's not too far. There's nothing not too far. A hundred thousand people, kids mostly, well young people dying per year. Yeah for one pill.

Now let me say it again. I would if I do that the pill — now of course nobody's going to bring one pill right so that's hyperbole. If you're going to argue about the one pill you're just arguing hyperbole and that's useless. I'm just saying if it's obvious they're bringing fentanyl to sell I wouldn't care how much. If they bring it to sell, kill them.

All right looks like — oops what's that? The secret mice micro lesson? Yes. All right.

No more Pfizer commercials. Disproportionate punishment. Yeah you know when people are involved in mass murder I believe that their own lives should be used for something useful. Not like a regular — if a regular criminal does something you know just let the justice thing do its thing. But if you're a mass murderer I think you should be killed in whatever way is the most useful to society. And if murdering you in public makes somebody else less likely to do it, okay yeah. If murdering somebody in a horrible way in front of the public — I would hang him. I'd hang him actually because the visual of hanging is just really good. That's a good visual. Oh actually I take it back. Now you don't want to hang them because some of them would be Black. So no hanging. No hang. There's got to be something else. Public execution but no hanging. Guillotine? Yeah too clean.

Dope, six started this. Yeah. Maybe. Do you own a firearm? I want you to sneak in my house and find out. Yeah my personal defense system is "follows the around and find out." I'm not going to tell you what my personal defense situation is. It's a surprise. Let me just say this. If you get into my house your problem is getting out. Getting into my house or really any house, getting into a house is not that hard. All you need is a rock to get through a window. Getting into my house no problem. Getting out, good luck. That's all you need to know about my defense.

All right sounds like a date. All right everybody was this the best show you've ever seen? I think I've — oh let me one more thing. Apparently the web browser and TikTok app can track every keystroke made by its users. How incompetent is our government that they haven't banned TikTok? What is up with that? How incompetent that TikTok, w

hich is clearly a military weapon, clearly is a military weapon, that we're letting the Chinese use on our youth and we're just like oh okay yeah here you go. So TikTok has to be banned. I think Trump might be willing to do it but he didn't get it done. I don't know what the limitation is there. And the big news is that Facebook and TikTok have banned controversial figure Andrew Tate. If you don'…
