Botswana’s President Duma Boko:

Africa is poised to rule the world.

Tucker Carlson:

So, what are your plans for the world once you rule it?

Boko:

To make it fairer, to make it more equitable. To ensure that intellectual property is internalized in every part of the African continent, that innovation serves humanity and not just a predatory elite, and that everybody can partake equitably and benefit from the fruits of the economy and the vast opportunities that are available in the world.

Tucker Carlson:

What do you think about Venezuela?

What awaits you today is destruction and mourning.

Prepare for the missiles and the roar of the gunpowder, and accept your end.

Bill Gates on Epstein:

Yeah, I met Jeffrey in 2011, so over a period of three years I had a number of dinners with him.

The focus was always that he knew a lot of very rich people, and he was saying he could get them to give money to global health.
