t we're the victim of one of those Holocausts. So there's no chance we're gonna have a comprehensive deal with China. There's no chance. We might have some smaller things but there's no chance that we'll ever have a comprehensive trade deal. Decoupling is going to happen.

Alright that's enough of that. Repeating myself too much in the last 10 minutes. Has anything happened in the impeachment theater?

Somebody says Americans choose to use fentanyl. Well that's one of the things I point out in "Loserthink." So whoever just made that comment I'm gonna make an example of you. Sorry. One of the worst forms of loserthink is to pair the problem with the solution. So with the fentanyl situation people say hey the problem is that people are taking it. That's the problem. If they would stop taking it we wouldn't have a problem. Well that's true. If people stop taking fentanyl it wouldn't matter what China does. But it's loserthink because addicts don't stop taking drugs. That means some do but it's not realistic. It's not practical. One should not expect that the users will just stop taking fentanyl, stop taking drugs. It's ridiculous to even make the comment that the problem is the individuals. Yes true. It's true that the problem is the people taking the drugs but that's not where the solution is. The solution is going to be maybe something with treatment, something with legalization, something with cutting down on the demand.

Now personally the reason that I want to crack down on China and their dealers is not because it will stop fentanyl in this country. I don't think it will. It's because they're mass murderers. If you thought that bin Laden wasn't going to kill anybody else would you say well he's not gonna kill anybody else let's just let it go. Let's let him live. I think he's done killing. He is sort of done with that. We'll just let that go. Of course not. If somebody's a mass murderer and the fentanyl dealers have killed tens of thousands in this country and continue to kill tens of thousands every year you don't say well oh they I guess they're done now because China decided that they're not going to do that anymore. Oh you killed them anyway. You still got to get them because they're mass murderers.

I'm very interested in the idea of complete drug legalization in this country. If we legalize drugs we would get rid of the Chinese fentanyl problem and the cartel problems all at the same time.

Now you say to yourself wait wait Scott, legalizing marijuana is one thing but legalizing everything from meth to heroin to fentanyl, well that's just plain crazy Scott. But that's why you can test things. Yeah people are mentioning Portugal apparently has success with that but I always warn you that what works in another country doesn't mean it will work here because there are enough variables that are different. You still need to test it. How hard would it be to get one state or even one city to test it? Can we not find one city or state that wants to test complete legalization combined with your medical treatment etc.? Not one. There's nobody in the United States who's stepping up and saying dear federal government if you let us, if you let us we'll test this for you. Nobody. Nobody.

Seriously one of the biggest problems in the country, its fentanyl is killing more people than guns and there's no state that's willing to say I will test it for you. Well we'll just do a limited test. We'll see if that works. If you're not testing it you're not doing, you're not working on it. You don't care. You're doing nothing.

People ask me hey Scott stop being such an apologist for the Trump administration etc. Well let me crush you here for a moment and say the Trump administration is not offering to do, not offering in any way, they're not proposing to have a drug legalization test, a little trial. If they're not doing that they're not doing the minimum thing to demonstrate competence in that area. Is that clear enough? The minimum requirement to demonstrate competence, not even being great but just minimum competence would be to be floating the idea of let's be able to test somewhere to see if this legalization thing makes any difference. See what it does. If you're not even looking at a test I'm sorry that is incompetent. There's no other way to, there's no good spin you can put on there. That's just, that is absolutely incompetent.

Likewise you're seeing the Democrats coming out and saying hey let's legalize marijuana. The Trump administration is just sort of quiet on that. That too is incompetence. There's no other way to spin that. The Trump administration just has to say let the states deal with it. We're gonna take that off the federal dockets. It's not going to be illegal federally. We'll just get out of that business. Leave it to the states. Easy politically, socially, criminally, in every way that would be the smart thing to do and a hundred percent of the people watching know it's the smart thing to do. You wouldn't even get, I don't think anybody would complain. And yet you don't see the Trump administration doing it. Incompetent.

So I would say in the domains of health and drug policy the administration is incompetent. And I'm starting to think that on the question of nuclear energy even though the Department of Energy is doing great stuff so at the non-presidential level I would say that you know the Trump administration is really doing well promoting generation three and four nuclear stuff but it's not coming out of the president's mouth and that's a big difference. So I would say that on energy and on climate change, whether you think it's real or not, nuclear energy is still the solution you'd want to pursue. So I'd say that the president is not competent on that topic because competence would be for him to say on a regular basis let's push all of our energy sources because it doesn't matter what you think of the Paris Accords, it doesn't matter what you think climate change, we need a lot of energy and we need the clean kind and the only way we're going to get enough is if we push all of our sources. Nuclear is a big part of that. If you see the president say that then I say oh okay that's a good job but short of that that's not competent.

Alright have I lost all of my audience yet? I think the audience went down by a third because I criticized the president. Alright let him do what he said he would. Yeah I'm just looking at your comments here. There's an upcoming Richard Jewell movie that would be interesting. When has Trump changed his position on something politically? Well he changed his position on punishing women who get illegal abortions in 24 hours. He changed that opinion pretty quickly. He changed his opinion on deporting 14 or however many million the immigrants who are not documented. So I would say there you have a number of examples.

He needs coal voters in West Virginia, in Pennsylvania. If we started today building nuclear power plants like crazy it would still take so long for us to have enough of them that most people would just finish out their career as coal miners and retire before there was enough nuclear energy to make any difference. That this criticism is good.

Somebody says vaping. Yeah you know I have not commented on the vaping thing. It is because I'm too biased. I'm too biased and I'll tell you why. I watched my stepson go through his problems with every drug you can imagine and he vaped like crazy and he would argue with us that the vaping was keeping him from smoking regular cigarettes except he was also smoking regular cigarettes. So basically the vaping was just so we could do it inside as well.

I think that p
