hat if you didn't know would be one of the least credible people on the whole planet. I don't need to go into the details but in the history of politics you would be you'd have to look pretty hard to find somebody with lower credibility. All right. He's part of the propaganda part of the world and he writes in The Atlantic. Do you know The Atlantic? If you said to yourself what happened, oh there's a major publication with a story, you wouldn't know anything. If you knew The Atlantic is basically just a Democrat tool for insulting Republicans, it's not anything like a publication. It's just a political tool at this point.

So if you knew that Frum is the least credible person in the world and The Atlantic is the least credible publication, then does that make this story sound more understandable? That Frum is writing that as Trump has neared renomination his party, especially in the House of Representatives, has surrendered to his pro-Putin pressure. Oh, big surprise. The two least credible entities, David Frum and The Atlantic, are writing that Trump is pro-Putin during an election year.

Now imagine if you didn't follow the news and you didn't know the players. You didn't know that The Atlantic is not to be trusted and you didn't know that David Frum is a propagandist. You would read this and you think, oh this is kind of scary. This a little Putin. But if you know the players it's just sort of funny because it's just so right in your face how fake it is. So when I read it I just laughed. Really? The Atlantic? David Frum?

Now here's my favorite mystery: Reid Hoffman. So we know that Reid Hoffman, or reportedly, you maybe you shouldn't trust any news, but reportedly Reid Hoffman is the person who funded the E. Jean Carroll suit. Do you think he did that because he really wants women to be heard and he cares about MeToo and it's justice and he's helping this victim? Does it feel like that's probably what's driving him? I know there are a lot of victims out there. It's funny you picked this one. So that seems a little just purely political. Some way to hurt Trump.

Then also Reid Hoffman was a big funder of Nikki Haley, which is weird because he's a Democrat and why would you fund a Republican who even the Republicans have some trouble with? None of that makes sense, does it?

So if you were one of the PayPal geniuses, literally a billionaire, literally a genius, and three out of four of the ones you can name who are in PayPal are clearly on the same side of things, which I wouldn't call Republican. I don't think that's what's going on. I don't think that Musk or Sacks or Thiel are pro-Republican. That's just not the way I take them. I take them as pro-make sense. Make sense of it. Make sense of the border. Right? Is that a Republican thing or is that just everybody looking at it going, can you make some sense of this? Can you close that thing? All right. That's not a Republican opinion. The fact that we imagine it is is just crazy. That's just a logical opinion.

So why would Reid Hoffman, who's as smart as them, as well informed as them, would be so on the opposite side? And I'm going to say that whenever you see a mystery like this it's probably outside influence. So I don't know on nature but it looks like blackmail. So I would assume that all the billionaires who are doing things that we don't understand are just blackmailed. Now I don't have proof of that but as a working assumption almost everything in our government seems blackmail related. Like everybody has some kind of influence or pressure or bribery or know something. And I feel like we live in a blackmailery. We know that Epstein was a big old blackmailer. We know that Reid Hoffman once went to the island. There's no evidence, no claim whatsoever they did anything improper because there were a lot of people went to the island. They didn't all do anything improper. So and then and also I'm not sure I believe he necessarily went there. All the stuff about who was on the Epstein list, I don't know that that's true. So if you see a name on a list, whether Reid Hoffman, don't assume it's true. And don't assume that they there was somebody who had a common interest and they all... that's not unusual that people get together if they have a common interest.

But given that we know Epstein was a major blackmail operation and then we see people who are acting in ways that don't seem to make sense for their own best interest or the country, to me the most logical assumption is some kind of inf
