When we spoke at the start of the year, I said it was way too close to November to switch anybody out
Turns out that I was wrong
beginners luck
You said what are the odds that Joe Biden has a debilitating event between now and November including death?
So he runs a 1 in 20 chance of dying in any given year or above
That I don't think you know whether he's even going to make it to November
Debilitating event could have been a debilitating public event
I purposely left it vague and I didn't say the other part of it, which I now feel comfortable
saying, which is I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to become president.
What do you mean by that?
I think that there's a remarkable story and we're in a funny game, which is are we allowed
to say...
what that story is because to say it, to analyze it, to name it, is to bring it into view.
I think we don't understand why the censorship is behaving the way it is.
We don't understand why it's in the shadows.
We don't understand why our news is acting in a bizarre fashion.
So let's just set the stage, given that that was in February.
century. There is something that I think Mike Benz has just referred to as the rules-based
international order. It's an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings,
explicit understandings, clandestine understandings about how the most important structures keep
the world free of war and keep markets open. And there has been a system in place, whether
understood explicitly.
or behind the scenes or implicitly,
it says that the purpose of the two American parties
is to prune the field of populist candidates
so that whatever two candidates exist in a face-off
are both acceptable to that world order.
So what you're trying to do from the point of view,
let's take it from the point of view
of let's say the State Department,
the intelligence community, the Defense Department,
and major corporations that have to do with international issues from arms trade to, oh,
I don't know, food. They have a series of agreements that are fragile and could be overturned
if a president entered the Oval Office who didn't agree with them and the mood of the
country was, why do we pay taxes into these structures? Why are we hamstrung? Why aren't
We are free people.
So what the two parties would do is that they would run primaries.
you'd have populist candidates
and you'd pre-commit the populist candidates
to support the candidates who won the primaries.
As long as that took place and you had two candidates
that were both acceptable to the international order,
that is, they aren't gonna rethink NAFTA or NATO
or what have you, we called that democracy.
And so democracy was the illusion of choice,
what's called magician's choice,
where the choice is not actually,
you know, pick a card, any card,
but somehow the magician makes sure that the card
that you pick is the one that he knows.
