now what list it is, right? Trump was right. Remember what Trump's solution to this was? Move them somewhere where they're simply away from the people who are in danger from them but just move them someplace safe. Is that not Trump's idea? That was Trump's idea. Now I think they're moved within the city probably, but I'm sure that they put the resources into making sure that they're somewhere wher…

, and here's my guess, I'm just going to guess that there are a few billionaires who are the main funding of this. You know it's probably open to anybody who wants to contribute to the fund but I'll bet you there's a few billionaires who are like the main funders. So it's not exactly everybody funding it. It's maybe a few individuals. And I think that they're putting their money where their mouth is, which is if these organizations are going to blatantly discriminate against white people as they have for 40 years, ever since I was in my 20s, then finally after 40 years of slipping, when it's at the point where Republicans are literally being hunted, it was finally time for a counterforce to appear. And it's Trump. Turns out Trump is the counterforce. So he's backing it anyway. So I'm very much in favor of the counterforce. Everything that is good needs to have a counterforce, right? Even if you think it was a good impulse, things go too far. You always need the counterforce even for good things, not just bad things.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, there's very little news that I should have mentioned that I didn't. That was a tight hour. So the one thing I want to accomplish is to get people to think in the brainwashing frame. But don't think brainwashing is always bad because there's no choice when it comes to children. Let me say this as directly as possible. Children have to be brainwashed. We just call it teaching them or educating them or raising them, right? There are other words on it. But children do not have developed brains. You can't let them make up their own minds. Depending on the age you give them more and more freedom as they get older. But you can't let children make up their minds about what's right and wrong. It just is the worst process in the world. You have to brainwash them and you have to do it from the federal level because you can't trust the states not to be infected with a bunch of communists, which is the current situation.

It should be illegal to teach the oppressor-oppressed. Okay, I'm just going to say it. It should be against the law to teach that some of your citizens are oppressors and some are oppressed. That should be illegal. Does anybody agree? It's the main operating system of our country and in my opinion it should actually be illegal. It should be as illegal as how Germany has these really strict rules about denying the Holocaust. You can actually go to jail in Germany. You could go to jail for denying the Holocaust. Now that seems way over the line for Americans, right? But is it over the line for Germany? I mean nothing's like Germany. You can't compare it to anything. So if Germany said all right, even at the risk of jailing some people that shouldn't be jailed, we are never ever ever going to let this anti-Jewish thing surface to the level where it causes another world war. So Germany understands that they will control the brainwashing of their children so carefully that you will go to jail if you try to tell the children that the Holocaust didn't happen. You'll go to jail. That's some serious brainwashing commitment. But is it wrong? Probably not, right? From our perspective outside of Germany it seems way too far. Like hey, free speech, right? But this was a problem that caused a really, really, really big problem like the biggest you could probably have, you know, the Holocaust. So yeah, you have to brainwash that out of people's minds and you have to do it aggressively and you have to do it unapologetically. You just have to brainwash people that they don't need to be killing other groups of people.

All right. Nazism only worked because they got to the young minds. Well is that true? I mean that was a big part of it but didn't Hitler take over so quickly? It wasn't really a generational change. I thought people were already primed. I think Hitler had the right message. I mean I hate to say it. When I mean right I mean for his purposes, not for the good of the world. For his purposes. Because World War I it created this feeling in the German people that they were owed something or they were oppressed, sort of an oppressor-oppressed model. But it wasn't wrong. They were pretty oppressed. So it was the perfect situation to brew a world war.

Scott, Moody threatening downgrade to US debt. Yes, the US debt problem had better get at least its debt commission going. I mean I definitely would like to see Romney and Joe Manchin doing an independent debt reduction thing. But I think somebody maybe of a Vivek or a Trump needs to say if you can't settle the debt we need some kind of a 2% cut no matter what rule. And I'd like to see somebody at least selling that. Give us a 2% across the board unless you can agree to a budget that cuts it by 2%. Limit spending to 20% of GDP or something like that.

What about Eric Adams being raided? Is that in the news today? Did Mayor Adams, oh he got, yeah that was old story, right? That was about his campaign got raided. Yeah, I

don't know what that's about but it doesn't look organic. It looks like some, his phone got taken. My God. Oh no, iPhone taken. Somebody says well we don't know if that was true. Oh they took all of his devices. They took all of his devices. Somebody says Perry Johnson. Is Perry Johnson running third party? Perry Johnson is in favor of 2% cut. Oh okay. Adam's phone and iPad were seized by the feds…
