rom Northern Africa, Muslim I think, but I'm not even sure that's the reason people are rioting. You know, that's the excuse. But of course there are bigger issues. Now some of the rioters probably want to take over the country and make it an Islamic country. Reasonable. You'd expect that they'd want that. And some of them were probably just having fun and causing trouble and looting. And it's pr…

ther microphone. I'll be back in a moment. How about now? There we go. Sorry, I forgot to fix it the first time. No, the light didn't come on the first time so it wouldn't have stayed. It only stayed up for a second because the battery was dead. But we're all good now, aren't we? All right, thanks for telling me.

So yeah, there's not much to say about the mass shooting except people should move out of those areas if they can. So if you want to be where you have a low chance of being shot, you should go where there's a low chance of being shot, which ironically is probably where there are more guns in the country.

All right, let's talk about Ukraine. So I was reading all the social media about Ukraine and here's what we know about the counter-offensive. There's one of three things happening in Ukraine and I'm pretty sure about this. All right, it's hard to be certain about things in Ukraine but finally I have certainty. There's one of three things happening with the Ukrainians trying to break through. They're either having no progress whatsoever or they're breaking through in a small way or they've made major gains. So it's one of those three things. I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it. Yeah.

So the reporting on Ukraine is absolutely useless. So they're either successfully probing for weaknesses and any moment they're going to run through with their entire army so it's really going well, or they've made no progress whatsoever and it's a big old slaughterhouse. It's one of those two things. I'm sure of it.

By the way, have you seen Prigozhin lately? Does anybody have a picture of him on his balcony or walking with his dog in Belarus? He's probably with your dog. You know, your dog that your kid's thing died but really went to Belarus to live the rest of his life in for eternity. He might have one of those.

Well, here's my theory. Here's my theory about Prigozhin. And if you look at the fact that he hasn't been seen at all, I feel like there's only one conclusion. He's been abducted by the UFOs. Now the UFOs, we've also not got good pictures of, so that would be the perfect place for him to hide because we just can't find the UFOs. So if he could get on a UFO that might be the best way to stay away from Putin. Plus he'd have access to all that advanced technology.

You know what's interesting? You know if you want to be mad at your American government, if you're American, here's another thing to be mad at. We have all of these UFOs which means by now of course we've reverse engineered their technology and we won't give that technology to Ukraine who desperately deserves it. Can you believe it? We have all this advanced alien technology and we don't give any of it to Zelensky. We're like, no, we're only going to give you the earthly stuff. How would you like some Earthling weapons? And he's like, Earthling weapons? You're giving me the weak stuff. No, I want the stuff from Centauri Prime. No, no, no, you can't have the stuff from Centauri Prime. No, no, we're saving that for us. But we've got a lot of earthly goods that you know will get you all killed but if you could have that you could have all of it. Yeah, that's right. The UFOs have Prigozhin. Yes they do.

And you know what the UFOs have as a weapon? Do you know what their main weapon of the UFOs is? Because we know that now. It's a secret sonic weapon that they mostly use on embassies. This is sort of the embassy secret sonic Centauri Prime kind of a weapon.

All right, there's no real news today. I'm doing the best I can. I'm doing the best I can with a slow news day. Give me a break.

I saw David Sacks throwing up a little caution that I guess Lindsey Graham went over to Ukraine and there's some kind of a red line that's being drawn. That if Russia blows up a Ukrainian, specifically there's one in danger I guess, if they blow up a Ukrainian nuclear power plant, that although that's a red line and you know maybe there'd be more escalation if they do that. Now David Sacks points out it looks like a false flag is being created. So first you create the red line. Oh, if you do this then the United States will get more into the war. And then the United States does this themselves. In other words like his Gulf of Tonkin.

So the thinking is that maybe America and Ukraine would blow up Ukraine's own power plant that happens to be under the control of the Russians right now as part of a war strategy. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no on that.

Here's what I think. I think the United States would sink a boat to start a war. I think they do that. I think we would stage a false flag attack on maybe a building or something. Maybe. I think we would do some pretty bad stuff. But I don't see us bombing a nuclear power plant. Does that really bring you forward somehow? You really get ahead if you do that? How in the world could that be a good idea?

So your Gulf of Tonkin is one ship goes to the bottom of the ocean. It's clean. You got your deaths but otherwise it's clean. But destroy a nuclear power plant? That would be the very worst idea that anybody ever had for a false flag attack. I don't know if we'll ever see anybody attack their own nuclear power plant. That feels like something that just can't happen. Like nobody's mind would ever go there.

Now if I'm wrong, well I guess I'm gonna have to say I'm wrong. So and by the way there's a good chance that that nuclear power plant will have some explodey stuff happening and there's a good chance we won't know who did it. So I think there's a very high chance some stuff could go down and we don't know who did it. But intentionally, intentionally that's a stretch. It's something to be concerned about, to look at. And you know if it turns out that the Russians get blamed for blowing that thing up you could be very skeptical. And to me I don't see why that's a red line at all actually. If it's such a big problem that it would be a red line, would we do it ourselves? I mean it just doesn't make sense. So I'm going to say that doesn't quite make sense. I'm going to bet against it but keep an eye on it. So I think David Sacks is right to say keep an eye on that.

I've noticed that when I make predictions my best predictions are things that don't exist. So you know I just gave you three of them. I told you that the secret sonic weapon wasn't real the day it came out. So far we haven't found it and it looks like it wasn't real, right? I told you that when the Vegas shooter was called ISIS, you know I said nope it's not ISIS. It wasn't. When the UFO thing, you know when there was a credible sounding person who says the United States has all these UFOs, I said nope you're never going to see proof of that. Nope. And then when Prigozhin allegedly his plane went to Bela

rus I said nope that did not happen. And evolution as well. Right about that. So here's my summary of that. It's way easy to know what isn't true. So it looks like I'm doing better than I am at predicting. If you ask me to predict what would happen that's really hard. But predicting what is not real, you know that the news says is real, it's actually somewhat easy. Yeah it's just too on the nose.…
