he morning and find out that one of the most prominent senators in the country just retweeted your tweet because he thought the issue was worthy. And it's the issue of people being demonetized and especially conservative voices being demonetized. Here's my take on what's going on and this is just speculation. All right, so I don't want to say this is a conspiracy theory. This is pure speculation.…

Now as a trained economist, in case you didn't know that, one of the worst things you can do in an economic system is change the system midstream unless you're really fixing it. In this case it's a change that was good for YouTube presumably but certainly not good for many creators such as myself.
So anyway, enough on that.
Have you heard the story that Nunes is being accused by an indicted Ukrainian that he went over and met with Shokin over and over in Ukraine and tried to get dirt on Biden? Now what I tweeted when I saw that is when you can't find an anonymous source to make a claim, your next best choice is an indicted Ukrainian. Because if you want the truth, you really want to know what's going on, talk to an indicted Ukrainian because you can depend on them to give you accurate information. So I'm not too worried about any stories about Nunes that originated from an indicted Ukrainian.
In fact if you were doing a comedy routine in which you were trying to come up with the least credible witness that you could ever imagine, you'd use brainstorming saying all right, let's say I'm writing a story and I need a character who's the least credible human being on the planet. What could it be? Maybe an indicted Ukrainian. That would be a good choice.
In other news, the United Kingdom is pushing for the UN to have access to I think it's Xinjiang. I don't know how to pronounce it. It's the area where the Uyghurs are being rounded up and put in concentration camps. It is one of the big three holocausts going on in China. One of the holocausts is they're rounding up the Uyghurs and assigning rapists to their wives. I'm not even making that up. You know that was in the news that the state of China is assigning a rapist for the wives left behind when they rounded up the men and put them in concentration camps. That's the allegation.
The other holocaust is they're harvesting the organs from the Falun Gong practitioners. And of course they're sending fentanyl over here. So will the UK be successful in getting UN monitors to go see what the Uyghurs are up to? Not a chance.
Let me ask you this. If you were China and you were not running a holocaust, would you let people come take a look to make sure that everybody was sure you were not involved in a holocaust? I think you would. I think if you were not involved in a holocaust and people said you were and all you had to do to prove you're not is to say what do you mean it's a holocaust? Come on over. I'll buy you a ticket. Bring your cameras. Come talk to us. There's no holocaust. Find me a holocaust. There's no holocaust here. That's what you do when you're innocent.
What do you do when you're actually perpetrating a holocaust? You say get out of here, UK. Stop bothering us. And no, the UN doesn't have any right to come and check us out. Stop bothering us in our sovereign decisions. That's what you say.
So is it confirmed that there is a holocaust of the Uyghur community? I would say yes. I would say that China's denials of anybody to come in and take a look, it'd be one thing if an individual country wanted to come in and take a look. But asking the United Nations to take a look, if you say no to that you got some explaining to do.
In other news, the president and the administration have said that they're looking into and they plan to, it's just a long process, designate the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups. How about that, huh? Now the main reason that you want to designate them as terrorist groups is so you can go after their banking relationships. And smart people are saying that that will make a big difference.
I don't know what's going to happen to the price of Bitcoin. I'm going to check that today. In theory if you announ

ce that you're going after the banking relationships of the cartels, what we should expect is a response and we should expect that Bitcoin would be up. Up 2.2% this morning. Okay, I don't know if that's cause and effect. But if you take the banking relationships away from the cartel, where are they going to put their money? Crypto maybe. So and I don't know if the government can actually track dow…
