Well, I might believe them because they're journalists and they don't have an interest in keeping the secret. And they probably would want to get there first and have a scoop and all that. But if it's your job to determine what the public hears and what they don't hear, that's their jobs. Does that give them the, let's say, the right or privilege

to lie to the American people as long as it's in the interest of the American people. And it would be really easy to imagine a set of circumstances where lying would be the right, I hate to say it, but the right answer. So unfortunately, they just have jobs where you have to say to yourself, maybe, maybe what they're saying is true, but You can never know for sure.

And even with the journalists, you wouldn't know for sure, but you'd feel a lot more comfortable that they had no reason to keep it secret from you.

Yeah. All right. And then also Cash said that the U.S. is working with India to try to stop some China-backed trafficking network. So I guess India has some connection to it. If they work through India, they have a little better chance of stopping it. And he suggested, Patel did, that the Chinese Communist Party is strategically targeting the US with fentanyl to weaken its population.

And he notes that there's an absence of fentanyl deaths in other countries. Now, are you convinced? You know, I don't want to believe that's true, but the opioid wars, if you've looked into the opioid wars, you know that the West has targeted them. But it wasn't the United States that did that. Wasn't it the UK? So why would the United States be targeted if it's revenge for the opioid wars?

Because we weren't involved with that, right? And the answer would be it just works. You could take out an entire generation of men. You could give them cell phones and video games and fentanyl and next thing you know, an entire generation is taken out. I don't know. I'm going to say it seems probable. It does seem probable.

And one of the ways you can know it's probable is, do you remember the ex-CIA agent, John Keurig? Last time I mispronounced his name, he contacted me to correct me. He'll probably do it again. But he pointed out that when he was in Afghanistan with the CIA, he was asking, why are these giant poppy farms allowed to operate? And the answer was, because the heroin is all being sold to Iran.

And it's a way to weaken Iran. And I thought to myself, oh my God, we're terrible people. But it looks like that's just the kind of world we live in and the risk we'll have to take. So given that there's at least one source that says we would do it to another country, Iran, is it much of a stretch to say that China would do it to us? Nope. That is not a stretch.

I don't know that it's true, but it's not a stretch. Meanwhile, whiskey sales are down, according to one of the executives of Jack Daniels. And reasons given are... the alternatives of marijuana, weight loss drugs, and a lackluster demand from Generation C, so the young people are drinking less. But I think there's one other variable that's not mentioned, which is age.

I don't know that this is true, but wouldn't you expect that alcohol use decreases with age so if the if the new generation is smaller because we've got this demographic problem wouldn't uh alcohol use just drop off just because of age i think there would be some effect there i don't know how big it would be but um we'll talk later about how it affects crime
