You're awesome, thank you. President Trump just gave a speech to the nation. I was a little worried that he was gonna declare a bigger war. He didn't, good, good, good. Okay, so instead he talked about the elections as they said he would. And he says he has shocking revelations, five different things that they've put up on the White House website. And it turns out, this is like the Scooby-Doo moment when they take the mask off. You know who it was?
Israel, just kidding, of course not, they would never admit that. It was China, it was China all along.

It was Agatha all along.

Okay, so now we haven't seen any of the evidence because they just put it up tonight as he was giving the speech. So obviously we'll analyze it, we'll do our due diligence and report back to you. When is The Young Turks, you guys know it's live at 6 o'clock Eastern every time, Monday through Friday on YouTube and so many other places. So we'll do that for you guys tomorrow for sure, right? So I can't comment on things I haven't seen yet. But I do have the context of Trump's previous allegations connected to these allegations, and I have the context of the rest of the speech, so I'll get to that. So first of all, the context of Trump overall, again, displayed in the speech is he's a massive pathological liar. So the chances of any of this being true is very unlikely. He starts the speech with, we were a mess before, we weren't winning, and we had transgender for everyone.
I don't know that that's a category of lie. It's more a category of, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I don't believe everyone in the country was trans at that point, but okay.
But I get it, he doesn't like trans people and then Democrats allowed them to exist or something, right? And then he's like, we had inflation problems, bro, we have inflation problems with you, okay? So he's like, bragging about how everybody's 401k is doing well. Why? Because yes, the one thing that is true is that that was at 52,000 record high, and I think that's mental. But we're going to find out, we're all going to see this together. How's inflation, how's unemployment, how's the economy? So if I was him, I wouldn't stake any of my claims on that because I believe that they're going to be, first of all, they're already in bad shape. Everybody knows that from the rising prices, higher prices on gas, etc. But I think they're about to head into disaster. Okay, so now so he's starting the speech with the same kind of like exaggerations and weird statements, etc. Then he moves on to the main event about these elections. And he said they released these five different things on the website. And he goes on to explain, and he says, and then we found out the deep state was working with China, the famous deep state. I'm like, well, no, by definition, they're not famous. That's why they're the deep state, and we don't know who they are. If you know who they are, just tell us, and if you really have the evidence, we'll go arrest them, right? I believe there is a deep state. I believe they're working with a different country, not China, and I think it's pretty obvious. But of course, vague, no names about the deep state. And so I'm very curious to see how they discovered who the deep state is. Are they gonna tell us who the deep state is? Or are they just gonna go, trust us, bro?
This is just like the Epstein files, we released them.
We released them, did you? Did you? Okay, so we'll find out. And he says they had techniques that you could never detect. So then how did we detect them? I don't know. There was one part that was relatively true, right? So when he talked about, hey, in 2020, Venezuelans, Maduro's government cheated in their elections. Yeah, that's very believable, right? And they had these outlandish results. I forget if he won by 95% or 97%, all these dictators do that, right?
Okay, but bro, we're not Venezuela, we're America. So okay, yes, Venezuela had fake elections, so did Russia. So did a lot of countries. And I mean, I don't know if he's trying to connect it to the previous theory they had. And the previous theory was that the ghost of Hugo Chavez had rigged our elections. I don't know if that's why he's bringing Venezuela back up. Because when they started talking about how Hugo Chavez rigged elections, everybody was like, I don't know if you know this, but he's dead. He's been dead for quite some time.
