Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, at least until a big old asteroid destroys humanity. But that's not going to happen right away. Until that happens, would you like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand? Sure you do. You would love that. And all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, and a beverage of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, called the simultaneous sip. Happens now.

Go. Ah. You've been inoculated. It's a slippery slope. You take one sip, you'll be back. Back every day, sipping every day. You can't even help yourself. Yeah, it's a slippery slope. You've been hypnotized. I just stole that joke. You've been hypnotized.

All right, let's talk about all the things, because there are lots of interesting news today in science and politics and racism and war and all that stuff. So these are a few of my favorite things.

All right. Grok is here. That's the AI that Elon Musk has promised you. It's now rolled out to Premium Plus users, I guess, be extra. So I've got my copy and I will give you my review of Grok the new AI. Number one, it's maybe GPT-3.5 level. In other words, if you've used GPT-4, this will look a little primitive compared to that. It doesn't have the features and bells and whistles yet, but one assumes that we're probably maybe one month away from parity, because the parity happens pretty quickly. So I wouldn't judge it yet. I would call it beta. It feels kind of beta test-like. They're going to collect a lot of opinions.

And let me tell you some of the things that we've learned so far. Number one, you get really, really tired of its joking after about the third interaction. The first time it gets kind of, let's say, friendly, because it's based on a model where it jokes with you and it's always sort of non-serious. Yeah, you're going to want to turn that off right away. So it took me about a minute before I asked it to turn that off. It's like, okay, that was fun almost once, but not really, because it doesn't quite feel like a personality. It still feels like a machine pretending to be somebody else's personality. So it doesn't hit you as, oh, it's a person or anything like that. But it might someday. It might.

So the other issue is that it lies. And oh my God, does it lie. Like about some serious stuff. So I wouldn't use it for any fact-checking yet. I'd kind of wait on that. For example, I asked it if it had read my books. I told it who I am and it understood that I'm the Dilbert cartoonist guy. So it knows who I am and it knows the name of my books. And I asked it if it had read any. It said not only had it read my books but had incorporated some of my writing techniques into its answers. In other words, according to Grok, I was already part of its DNA. But it's a liar.

When I first saw that I thought, what? Seriously? It has some part of my personality in it because it read my book and incorporated it into its personality? That's what it told me. But it turns out this is the sort of thing that tells you just because it thinks you might want to hear it, right? If you query it, it rapidly becomes clear it has not read any of my books. And on other occasions I can ask it about my books and it won't know they exist, or it'll list some but not others. Right? So at the moment the results are closer to random than anything that you could use with confidence.

Here's another example of that. I saw Sean Davis thought to ask this question first. He asked if his content was being throttled on X, and then Grok said yes it was. So Sean Davis finds out from Grok, apparently, that his own data is being throttled. So I said to myself, whoa, I'm going to try this. So I try it too and it says the same thing. I mean, different words, but it tells me that I'm definitely being labeled as sensitive content and throttled. So Grok told me that my account was labeled sensitive content by X and throttled. But here's the thing. It's not true.

Do you know why I know it's not true? There's no way Grok has access to that information. Grok doesn't know who's throttled. There's no way it knows that. Am I wrong? Does anybody want to take a bet? I will bet you a large sum of money that Grok does not have access to X's internal algorithms. There's no way it has access to that. No way. Does anybody believe it has access to that information or that it can determine it in some other pattern recognition way? I don't know.

Here's what I do think is possible. On YouTube, what people call censorship is actually an intelligent pairing of advertising content with the type of content that would not be offensive to advertisers. Now when you make provocative content, as I do, that feels like censorship. But when YouTube's business people explained it to me, which they did to me personally, it actually just sounds like business. Because why would they pair my provocative content with their advertisers if the advertisers specifically ask for it not to happen, which is what does happen on YouTube? The advertisers say, don't pair us with this bad content. So then they just don't do it. It's just a business decision.

So that's one of the reasons I'm not really, really hard on YouTube for any censorship of provocative stuff. It's just unpleasant things to put with advertising. It's just not a good pair. So I get that. So X is also an advertising model at the moment, less so because of subscriptions, but still an advertising model. And would it surprise you if shows that are always about news, which is about death and destruction and all that stuff, would it surprise you if X had an internal rule that advertisers like this content about kittens more than they like content about war? That wouldn't be too surprising, you know what? Honestly, as long as X said that's what they were doing, I wouldn't have a terrible problem with it actually.

Now there would be the question of people who pay the higher price to have no advertisements. So I would hope if I'm being prevented from interacting with anybody because of advertising, if that's happening, I don't know that that's happening, but if it's happening, as long as it's only limited to people who see ads, that's not so bad, right? So if you paid to not see ads, shouldn't you have full access to my provocative material? I would say yes. So because it's one of those half subscription and partly wild advertising-based, I wouldn't have the biggest problem in the world if they throttled me on the advertiser part of their business. I mean, I would prefer they didn't, but if it's just a business decision, I don't know. As long as the people paying to not see ads are not throttled, that's not terrible to me. That would be just everybody getting something closer to what they want.

All right, let's check in on Threads. You know, Meta has this competitive product. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg posted on it yesterday, which is big news because he hasn't posted on his own product in three weeks. Ian Miles Cheong noted that, and I'm thinking to myself, yeah, that's pretty much all you need to know about Threads. Elon Musk is on X all day long and it definitely makes the product better because you just feel his personality all the time. Yeah, I think Threads is dead. I haven't even thought to check my Threads account, which I do have. I haven't checked it in two months. Haven't even had the slightest interest. It's interesting why some things interest you and others don't. But I'm pretty sure that I don't like Threads because there's no provocation on it. It was just too ordinary. There's just nothing there.

All right. Tesla gave for free the technical guides to the new 48-volt technology. Gave it to their competitors. So Tesla gave probably one of their most key important new technologies. It's some upgraded way to handle their electricity in their vehicles. 48-volt technology. I guess most of it had been 12-volt, but they're going to 48-volt for some kind of major advantages. So they actually gave the technology for free to Ford and other companies that make electric cars.

Now put on your business hat. Smart or not smart to give away this proprietary advanced technology to your competitors? Smart. Yeah. Now this only makes sense because they have such a dominant position. If you have a dominant position and you're pretty confident you can keep it, then you want everybody to build out the industry so that they're building chargers that you can use. You know, in the perfect world, Ford would make a charging station that a Tesla can use. That's going to be way better for Tesla users than for Ford users. I mean, it's probably going to work both ways. You know, Tesla has opened up to other cars charging. So yes, having some kind of voluntary standards for some of this stuff probably makes the industry better. I mean, just knowing how to do a better technology and probably makes gas cars last less long.

You know, if the net effect of all this is that, well, let me, I'm a perfect example. I am currently in the sort of general stage of looking for a new vehicle right now. And so I've got to make the choice of electric versus non-electric car. I was sure that by the time I made this choice it would be an easy choice. I thought that by the time I had to get another vehicle, you know, several years ago I got a gas vehicle and I thought that my next vehicle would be electric for sure, if not fully self-driving. But now when I look at it I think, you know what? Yeah, you know what is my biggest psychological block? And maybe this is useful for Tesla.

I have this issue where if somebody doesn't personally show me how to use a Tesla charging station, I will never buy a Tesla. Does anybody have that? And this is a defect. It's a defect in my personality. If a human doesn't drive me there in their own Tesla while I'm in the passenger seat and say, watch how easy this is. You know, you just wait in this line, you plug this in here and you just sit here for 20 minutes. If nobody shows it to me in person, I'm never going to buy that car. Do you know why? And again, this is purely irrational. This is a defect in me. So you don't have to say, what's wrong with you Scott? You can just acknowledge that I say this is a defect.

It's the same reason I don't use car washes at gas stations. I wrote about this. Because if I don't know exactly how to use the car wash, the one you drive through yourself, I'm afraid that I'll get stuck in the car wash and they'll have to like dismantle the entire car wash to get me out. And it'll be on the front page of the news. Cartoonist drives car backwards into car wash. Idiot doesn't know the first thing about washing cars. So obvious they should have gone in forward. How did he think it should go in backwards? What was he thinking? Dumbest cartoonist in the world. No wonder he was canceled. Like that's what goes through my mind.

And I have the same feeling about the car charging station. I feel like I would get in the wrong line, as if there are wrong lines. I don't even know if there is a right line and a wrong line. I would get in the wrong line. I'd get to the front, find out that I had the wrong nozzle for charging my car, but I'd be trapped there so there wouldn't be a way to turn around. And everybody behind me would be honking at me and laughing. Now nothing like that's going to happen, right? Well it's not a nozzle, I know. But it's funnier to say nozzle. Nozzle is just a funny word. Can you agree with me on that? Nozzle is a funny word. That's all. So I do use it out of context because it's a funny word. So why don't you get your nozzle out of my business? See, it works in every context. Will you keep your nozzle out of my business? Yeah, it's a great word. You should use it anyway.

So if I were Tesla, I would make a little video that shows somebody pulling up and very easily charging their car and then showing how many charging stations there are in my area so I can say, oh, I'm never going to run out. And also, what do you do when you run out of electricity? I'm guessing there's somebody like a Tesla person with a truck who drives up and charges your car for you. You don't tow it, right? Just some Tesla facility of some kind comes and charges you up, right? Now those are the things I don't know. And if I saw really just a 30-second video, 30 seconds is all I need. Drive up, take it out, stick it in, you're good. Here's all the charging stations. If you run out of charge, here's the truck that comes and gets you. Like 30 seconds and I'd be all good psychologically. But psychologically I can't get past that barrier. Does anybody else have this? I'm just trying to find out how unusual I am. Does anybody else have the same thing I'm talking about? Okay, bunch of yeses on Locals. There's lots of yeses.

Now here's another industry where I have the same problem. Here's two other businesses that I would have the same problem. Number one, if you had never gotten a professional massage and you didn't know somebody to talk to who did it all the time, would you sign up for one? I wouldn't. I would never sign up for a professional massage if I'd never talked in person to somebody who did it a lot and really could walk you through, you know, what's awkward and what's normal and how much of your clothes do you take off and where do they touch you and do you talk to them, how do you tip, like all that. It would just be too awkward. I wouldn't do it. Now luckily I've passed through that barrier.

Here's another one. I would love to take a yoga class. Now I did a little yoga in college in a class once and I liked it. Here's why I don't go. Do I need to bring like my own little mat? And what happens if I don't understand all the language like everybody else in the class? What happens if they say all right, downward dog, and I'm like I don't know what that is. Do I just watch? Is that enough? Will they tease me if I can't keep up? What happens if I can't keep up? All right. So I just have a bunch of questions, right? And it prevents me from ever signing up for a class. Plus I never have them in the afternoon when I'm available. But that's another thing.

All right. There's this big box that's your doctor now. You can walk into a big box and they put the big boxes, they call them pods, but it's just a big box and it'll be in a mall. They've got a few. They're actually real. These are being rolled out now. So there's one, let's see, it's called CarePod. And so do-it-yourself health clinic in a box. And you walk into one of these CarePods and it might be in your mall or some central place, but it could be just like a kiosk in a mall. And you could go in and it will scan your whole body. Apparently you could just stand up like an airport scanner and it just scans you. Doesn't that seem dangerous? How in the world can they scan you when you're just standing there? If you go to an MRI you've got to do all these, you know, and you can't have infinite x-rays. So I don't know how any of that works.

But they also have a way you can draw your own blood for a blood test. Now don't you wonder how that works? I thought, how in the world do they have a robot that puts a needle in? Turns out there's no needle. They can draw blood without a needle. Did you know that? They apparently, this is existing technology, they put a little suction cup on your arm or wherever you put it and it just sucks. And it can't get much blood because it's sucking through and there's no wound, there's no hole. It just starts sucking it directly out of your arm. And if it sucks hard enough it can get blood. So it takes about four minutes but it will just suck the blood right out of your arm like a leech. Isn't that cool? It's kind of cool.

But anyway, so and that's not all it can do. It can do a bunch of things, check your heart, etc. So I'm pretty sure. And then there are doctors that you can call for telehealth. So you can get a doctor on video to work with your other issues. Very good.

All right. That should take a dent out of, see I think where we're going on inflation is we'll get to the point where the normal things we have to do are much cheaper. You know, I harp on this all the time but I think the process of getting food from a farm into your mouth is so amazingly inefficient because of all the transportation and rules and everything that eventually you're going to have a little food growing operation connected to your house. So your own food costs will be maybe 20% of what they would have been otherwise. But also these advances in health care, I think you're going to make health care 20% of what it could be. I think people will still pay for the full service one if they can afford it, but there'll be a whole bunch of people who go for the one that's 20% of the cost and gets you almost as good. You know, maybe 95% as good as an expensive full service model. A lot of people are going to take that, especially younger people.

Nuclear energy is still surging, at least in interest if not building. 20 plus countries have signed a declaration to triple nuclear capacity. So nuclear is now fully absolved of all this bad reputation. You know, I'll tell you, I feel great satisfaction that I was one of a number of people who for the last seven years or so have been just hammering the reframing for nuclear. Just hammering it. It's like, okay, if you want green, if you don't want climate change, you're going to have to wake up on nuclear energy. It's much safer than it used to be. So it looks like that message, you know, Michael Shellenberger and a lot of other people are the primary drivers of that. And so congratulations to them. Shout out to Mark Schneider for his work on nuclear framing especially, Mark.

And anyway, so you know that AI could already translate you almost instantly but your lips would not match up with the words. However, there's a new product that actually will sync your lips on the video. In other words it will reanimate your mouth so it matches the language that you choose. Now that's cool. That's cool.

Now that I keep waiting for stuff that's genuinely useful because AI, I always tease AI because it looks like demo-ware. It's like stuff that is demonstrating what it might be able to do later but it can't do now. And it's just so frustrating. Look at what it almost can do but can I do it now? No, but almost. And now can I do it now? Yes you can do it now. Well why don't I know how to do it? Well you'd have to be trained. Well how long would it take to train? Few days. And in two days would it be the same AI that I trained on? No, no that'll be totally replaced in two days.

So here's a, I don't know if anybody has mentioned this before so I'll put my own name on it. The Adams rule of AI training. In this case, training the human to use the AI. Have you told yourself, hey I should spend a day learning how to use this AI? I told you that in the beginning. You know when AI first broke I said oh you should just take a week and just like hunker down and learn everything about it because it's going to be everywhere. Totally wrong. Totally wrong. You know why? Nothing stayed the same. In one week you would become kind of a little expert but everything you learned that week would be completely useless one week later. For example. And by the way I'm a little bit proud that I predicted this and I'll need some confirmation because I might have predicted it in my head. I don't know if I predicted it out loud. But here's what I predicted. That these so-called super prompts would not be useful in the long run. In other words the AI would keep changing so that using the exact right way to ask the question would become obsolete so quickly because it wouldn't work on the next version that there would be almost no point in having super prompts. That has happened, right?

So Brian Roemmele is talking about this and what to do about it because he consults with tech companies about AI and provided lots of super prompts that he had tested to know that these are good prompts. But he gives all his clients the super prompts and then the AI upgrades and they break. And how would you know what to do for the next version? You couldn't know. So you can't know if your old super prompt works anymore because maybe you're just using it as opposed to testing it every time you use it. So they're already pre-tested but not against the AI that's going to be there next week. So whatever this rule is that you can't learn it as fast as it changes and makes your learning useless, has that ever happened before? Is this the first time in history that the rate a human could learn a thing is too slow to use the thing because the thing will never be the same thing you learned?

Now I'll tell you the first time I learned this because this happened to me in my career once. I used to have a job in a laboratory in the phone company, one of my first jobs, to test brand new equipment like new types of phones to see if it would work with our digital products especially. And so we would get all these new products. You know AT&T would make a new phone or whatever and we'd plug it in and it would take us a few weeks to test it all and everything. And then I would write up a report so that the customers could know whether to buy this equipment and whether or not it would work with the phone company. Because you didn't want to buy equipment unless the phone company was compatible. And things were changing quickly. So it would take me a few weeks to test things, get them in, put out my report. And do you know what would happen? By the time my report went out every time, the hardware that I tested had a firmware upgrade in the meantime. What good was my test? The test had no value the moment it was published. Had no value. Because without the software or firmware of that product you've tested nothing. Because we know it physically connects. Like I wasn't testing to see if the plug goes into the hole. I was seeing if the software and the firmware know what to do once it's plugged in. So no, you could not test it. It wasn't possible to test fast enough that it would be useful. So we ended up just waiting.

It basically, well self-flying airplanes are coming. The FAA has approved an uncrewed flight test. So a remote controlled, not even remote controlled, it's flying on its own but it would have humans who could sort of monitor it from a distance. But having been at one point married to a pilot, I learned a little bit about the flying business from just osmosis being near it. And one of the things I learned is that learning to fly is so unnecessarily complicated that it couldn't possibly last. In other words there's no way in 50 years that a pilot is going to have to learn how to fly by instruments. There's no way. The AI is just going to fly it. If it's cloudy, that's it. The GPS is going to tell you where to go. And when you get near the airport, the airport will talk to the plane automatically as well as human if they need to. And the plane will know everything it needs. It will know what the traffic is in the air. It will know what's on the ground. It will know what's coming toward it. It will know all the conditions. And if it hits like a wind shear on the way in it will adjust with AI way faster than a human could. Way faster.

If JFK Jr. had AI he wouldn't have died because he didn't know how to fly with instruments. The instruments would have just taken over. Because what would be the easiest thing for AI to do in an airplane? The easiest thing is to fly straight. There's nothing easier than that, right? Fly straight. And the reason that somebody like JFK Jr. would die in the crash is that you lose your orientation in the clouds. You actually don't know what's up and what's down. Like you get vertigo. So if you just push the AI button and say can you take over till we get out of these clouds, you know, fly me out of the clouds, you would never have a crash because somebody couldn't fly by instruments. And the total amount of processing you probably have to add to a flight to make it fully AI is probably the size of your phone, right? There's no weight added. The airplane doesn't have any extra burden. It would just be smarter.

So there is no way that people are going to be learning to fly the way they do now if there are even human pilots at all. So everything in aviation is going to change drastically very quickly.

All right. I've got a prediction that the advertising model of the news and the advertising model of the big social media platforms cannot survive AI. Have you reached the same conclusion that you can't have AI at the same time as you have an advertising model? That they cannot coexist? You all know that, right? I'll give you the reason but have you reached that conclusion on your own yet? That's a big change.

Here's why. As also Brian Roemmele teaches us, we're all going to have our own AI. The AIs that we're using like Grok and ChatGPT are cloud-based. You know you're typing at home but the computing is happening somewhere in the internet. Well we already have, and apparently it's trivially easy technologically to run an AI that's your own AI that's only on your devices and nobody else can see it or play with it. And it knows you. You can teach it about yourself and you can train it to do just stuff you want it to do.

What's the first thing you're going to do if I get my good general purpose AI that's local? The first thing I'm going to do is say go to CNN, download all their videos, remove the advertisements, edit them so they're tighter and faster, speed them up to 1.4 speed and then present them to me on a page. Why wouldn't I do that? Do you think AI can't download a video? Someday download a video, strip out the ads because who would know what an advertisement is, and then present it to you in a tighter form? Of course. Again, why would you ever watch it with the ad? What would ever make you go to CNN's website again if something could simply click there and download it for you? And I would tell my AI to do that for me before I wake up. So I'd come in in the morning and I'd see a page that was curated just for me with no ads.

Now who would not do that? Because at some point you'll be able to say duplicate Scott's system and if I allowed you to know what that was your AI would just go find me, duplicate the system, give it to you and then you'd have it. All right, can AI embed ads? Yeah I guess it could. AI could embed ads too. It could go the other way. But I think the ad model can't survive. And which also tells me that X might be the surviving platform in the long run because in the long run I think X might move to more subscriber and it should. I think the other ones will be trying to catch up.

Well the Washington Post strike is hilarious. So it turns out that the owner is this rich white guy and the Washington Post has been hiring people who really don't like rich white men. Do you think Bezos saw that coming? So there's a video by the strikers in which there's lots of images of the strikers talking. So one at a time their face would appear and then they say why they're striking. How many white men do you think were in that group? It's mostly women. I don't know if it was mostly women who wanted to talk on camera but they seem to be a female organization primarily based on the videos. The strikers look overwhelmingly female but also overwhelmingly people of color. So it looks like they're being eaten alive by their own policies in a sense.

And who was it that mocked them for writing articles about how great Bidenomics are while complaining that they need a raise because of inflation? So the same publication that's been telling you the economy is great, it's your imagination if you think otherwise, they're striking because I can't pay the rent. But who was it who said, damn it I should have given credit to this, but one of their demands is they want to spend less time in the office. So they want to have a guaranteed two days per week remote and one month a year that they can be anywhere, which is pretty aggressive bargaining. But the way I read it is that they're striking to spend less time in the office with Phil Bump. Is that too far? I know if it were me I'd strike so I could spend less time around Phil Bump. Okay he's my nemesis so I like to tease. I tease Phil Bump and if you think that is racism in me it indicates that he's 82% Trump, well that's not true. That's not true.

All right. Big problems for Ramaswamy and Christie. Apparently to get in the next poll you've got to be polling over 10%. And in the last several average of polls they're not. So both Ramaswamy and Christie don't look like they're going to be in the next debate the way things look based on current polling. But Nikki Haley and Governor DeSantis will be there. Now why do you think that Nikki Haley, it's just because she's a woman, right? I'm pretty sure it's not because her policies are lighting anybody up. Yeah I think it's just she's a woman. And by the way that's fine. That's not a problem. If women or men want to have a woman in the job, I know it's about time. You know as much as I rail against wokeness I was actually happy we finally had a black president and I would be happy when we finally get a female president. I'd like it to be a qualified person of course. But I feel like the country is better off if you just sort of cross those things off the list just so we don't have to talk about it again. Wouldn't you like it if the next time a major female candidate is within striking distance that we don't have to talk about her genitalia? Wouldn't that be good to just get it off the conversation list? How about a woman can be president. How about being black does not prevent you from being president. Okay can we move on? Are we done with that now? Can we just move to something else?

Well let's see. You Biden doing more racist stuff. So see how quickly you can determine how racist this is, right? There's nothing that sounds racist but see how quickly you can identify it because now you're tuned to it. All right there's a story that says the Biden administration wants to help hundreds of thousands of households to realize their dream of home ownership. So they're going to increase the supply of affordable homes by essentially paying people money so they can afford to buy a home. So the government is going to help people buy affordable homes. All people. Do you think, what kind of people does that mean? Like all citizens, right? Like every kind of citizen if you don't have enough money. No, no. I didn't even have to read the article and I disavowed it for being racist in public and said I didn't read it. I did. That was embarrassing to me to disavow it for being racist without seeing anything racist about it because I didn't even read the details. No, because later after I posted that it was racist I looked at it and of course it is. Of course it is. That it's primarily to increase home ownership among groups that traditionally don't have as much home ownership. What does that mean? Not white men basically. Yeah it's just a purely overtly obviously unambiguously racist use of my tax money.

And the argument is that white people had assets from their past that they're building on so it's way easier to own a home if you come from parents who also owned a home etc. Well my parents owned a home but they didn't give any of that to me. In fact they died with more of my money in their estate than they had of their own money I think. So why do I have to pay for somebody brown to buy a house with my money when I got no benefits from it whatsoever? I had no benefits from assets. But anyway. So super racist. We'll talk about all the things you're waiting for in a moment.

Here's a lesson on how not to do math in public. So Ian Bremmer posts on a list of all the things that are going right in the economy and then he made this mistake which I caution you not to make. Never use this sentence about your statements on social media unless you're really sure you're right. So he shows a graph that shows a whole bunch of things that are going well in the country that people don't know are going well on economics. And then he says, just going to leave this here. Now just going to leave this here is a strong statement that says this is so right that you can't even argue it. And by the way I don't even have to explain to you why this is so right. It's so obviously clearly unambiguously right. I'm just going to leave this right here and just walk away. I rest my case.

Now again I say you've got to make sure that you're right when you do that one. So Fox News business host Charles Payne did the work for me because I would have done it but he did the work for me. And he says I'm sick of media mocking folks about their struggles, meaning about their economic situation. One year parameter is a trap and disingenuous. Yes there it is. He looked at a one-year period in which things are going well because things were going so poorly before that. It's the classic way to mislead the public. The classic way to mislead the public is to give them a cherry-picked set of things. So that's the first problem. So I'm sorry Ian, they left out, is there a gigantic debt problem that's going to destroy the country like the most important thing about the economy? Yeah. Or can you afford food, gas and groceries as well as you could? I mean the basic questions you should have been asking were not included in his little list that he just said he's just going to leave here.

But to his credit Charles Payne would have none of that and quickly noticed it was a one-year period which is no way to look at anything and that it leaves out some categories of course. Yeah. And then Charles Payne after dunking on Ian Bremmer finishes with, I'm just going to leave it here.

So let me say this. If you don't follow Ian Bremmer you should because on geopolitical stuff, very good. Very good on geopolitical stuff. A good follow. However, and this is not an insult, this is not an insult. Charles Payne is a business guy, right? So his background, his models, his frame of thinking is business. So when he looked at this he immediately could identify the problem with it because he has that frame. If you're not a business guy all day long you could be forgiven for not noticing something was missing, right? But you know I'm a business guy, business school background. I could see it immediately. Charles Payne, business guy, could see it immediately. So it does make a difference if you have those backgrounds.

All right. So I guess the University of Penn president, one of the three who refused to as clearly as she might have denounce, well you know the whole Hamas situation. But now the University of Pennsylvania, they've got some kind of a board, they're asking her to resign. Should she resign? What do you think based on her inadequate public statements? Well this is what Bill Ackman said that I thought was a really clever reframe, right? Here's a reframe. Think of the three college presidents, MIT, Harvard and UPenn. And think about their answers in public to Congress and how they were smirky and it's kind of disgusting. And Ackman asked this question. If those three positions were open, if there were available positions, does anybody think that any of those three current presidents would have even been considered based on what we know today? No. No they wouldn't. No. So why are they presidents today? This is Bill Ackman's frame. It's kind of brilliant. Why are they presidents if everybody would agree that if the job were open they would never be hired? That seems like an easy decision, doesn't it? But we'll see. I think the donors are going to put too much pressure on the universities. I think that they probably will be forced to resign but we'll see.

So Alex Jones was on Tucker Carlson and of course he makes a lot of news. Let's talk about that. Some of the things that we heard from Alex Jones are that, now first of all you should know that he's considered by many on the right to be practically psychic for his predictions that have been right on. And the one that stands out is that before 9/11, I think only months before, he was saying that Bin Laden might be framed for something that dark shadowy people do and it might involve flying a jetliner into the World Trade Center. He actually said that months before 9/11. Is that crazy?

Now here's the question. Is he psychic? Is he lucky? Does he look at different source materials than you do and therefore he can piece things together? I don't know. But I'll tell you my best guess. I think he might be brilliant at pattern recognition and that the patterns often are subtle. Which is, I don't know if it's exactly prediction but I guess it would be. Yeah I guess it would be prediction. And he talks about the materials he looked at before he came up with that prediction. So apparently here's things we knew. I'd never heard of Bin Laden but if you read certain materials about potential terrorism you would have heard that name. So he knew who Bin Laden was and he calls him an ex-CIA asset. All right now I didn't know that or I don't know about the CIA asset part but it's something he read.

Now we also know that the same essentially the same group of terrorists had tried to bomb the World Trade Center. So now you've got the name of a terrorist because he was better informed than the rest of us and he was known to be a dangerous one. We've got a target that they went after before. This seems likely they might try again. So here's the pattern. So now you've got a person who does this kind of thing. You can name a target because it's the same target they tried before. And I think they, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they threaten to do it again? Wasn't there some suggestion they threatened to do it again, right? And then separately there had been a story around that time about a plot to have the CIA or something do a false flag with an American airliner. Now those three things were roiling around in his head at the same time. Now if you're good at pattern recognition you say to yourself, okay something about Bin Laden, his name I keep seeing. Something about World Trade Center because they said they would go after it. And they're also talking about an airliner. Put them together. Airliner, World Trade Center, Bin Laden. Boom. Is that how he did it? Maybe. Maybe so.

It could actually be that he's good at pattern recognition and that he simply read more source materials than you did. By the way that's what he says. He says that's how he did it. Maybe that might be exactly how he did it. Now before you go off and say my God he's right every time it's amazing, I would caution you this. If you don't have a list of all the things he's ever predicted to know whether this was like an amazing hit or was it one of a hundred wild things he said, 10 of them happened, 90 of them didn't. Does that give you a different impression of what's going on? I don't know.

Now he also has one other characteristic which probably serves him well. He assumes the worst about the government. Now I hate to say it but if you just want to look psychic just predict that the government is lying about everything they say and you will look like a genius in five years. Am I right? So part of his trick is he just always assumes the government's up to no good and that turns out to be a pretty good assumption. Yeah not always but pretty good. So I don't know how to judge his accuracy but he's got some genuine hits there that can't be ignored.

He also said that Joe Biden, that he knows that Joe Biden walks around the White House naked at night and is all drugged up. And then he and Tucker agreed because Tucker apparently has confirmed information that Biden's on amphetamines and that they pump him up with amphetamines just before public appearances but then he's basically a blithering idiot all the rest of the time. Does that sound right? I would say it not only sounds right I feel like it's obvious. Don't you think it's kind of obvious that he's drugged up when they trot him out in public? Yeah. To me I'd say if this isn't true I'd be really surprised. Really really surprised. Yeah. So at what point do you get your president drug tested? Would it be reasonable to ask? Because I don't believe when the White House doctor does an exam aren't they supposed to tell us if the president's on drugs? Is that not part of what the public should know? Because what would be the point of saying oh this person is healthy if we don't know they're on cocaine or something? Do you think amphetamines have no impact on your decision-making? Yeah.

Do you know what ISIS is given to go into battle and Hamas fighters are given to go into battle? Amphetamines. Do you know why they give them amphetamines? Because it makes them do brave and reckless things. It makes them do brave and reckless things. In other words they shouldn't have been brave about it. They should have not done it at all. How do you like knowing that your head of your military who's involved in one hot war and I guess he's involved in two hot wars although not with soldiers yet, how do you like the fact that that's the guy who might be taking a drug, almost certainly is taking a drug that guaranteed could make you more confident and therefore more prone to risk? What do you think? I feel like we need to know that. And if we don't know it that should be grounds for impeachment. That's what I think.

There's a story that this is how Tucker Carlson is framing it, that the Biden administration is openly threatening that if we don't fund Ukraine that our sons will be sent to die. Now I'm not sure that's exactly the way it was framed but it's pretty close. It's pretty close. Here's what actually happened. So Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told some members of the House in a closed briefing that if they don't appropriate more money for Ukraine we'll end up sending your uncles and cousins and sons to fight in Russia. Now it's not exactly a threat. It's more like a worst case scenario. Like if we don't do this we might be forced to do this other thing that we also don't want to do. But it does come across as a threat even if that's not the intention. He's using it literally to negotiate. If you're using the risk of sending your children to die as your negotiating lever, well that is sort of blackmail. That is sort of blackmail, isn't it? It's right on the line. I mean I guess you could say it's somewhat transparent except that it was a closed door meeting I think which is not so transparent. I'd feel less bad if he said it in public because at least we all see exactly what's going on. But if he's using that as a method to threaten lawmakers behind closed doors that's pretty not cool.

All right. Nikki Haley's campaign has an adviser that's already calling Vivek Ramaswamy's destruction of her during the debate as misogynist. Let me give you some advice Nikki Haley. If you're running as a Republican and a woman and somebody criticizes you and your attack through at least through your proxies, and I think she said it before, is that it's misogyny, you're no Republican. How in the world does she have enough support to make it into the next, I mean that's as un-Republican as you could be. She's literally saying that her, I mean well I don't even have to say more do I? Do I have to say more about that? There's what else is there to say? You could not be less qualified if that's the best you got. The best you got is oh I'm a woman and I'm superior because I'm a woman. What she said, she actually says she's superior because she's a woman and that also anybody who has a criticism of her policies is a misogynist. You Nikki Haley, you I do not want you anywhere near the Oval Office because we don't need a sexist in the office, right? We don't need somebody who's an obvious misandrist, sexist, woke, artist, money spending piece of, well that's just my opinion.

All right. Let's see. So see if you could recognize what this topic is. I'll read a quote and this comes out of a larger piece but see if you can find the topic. If the United States allows a country to be crushed in an illegal invasion it will raise grave questions about the credibility of defense and strategic agreements that underpin the entire Western world. So allows a country to be crushed by an illegal invasion. He's talking about the border, right? He's talking about our border because we're being crushed by an illegal invasion and it would hurt our credibility or defense or strategic agreements. Now this is Stephen Collinson talking about our need to fund Ukraine. Yeah we need to fund the border in Ukraine so that we're credible while our own border has people streaming across it. He actually said that. Imagine writing that and you know with no sense of awareness about how that sounds. Amazing anyway. Wow.

So there was a Trump ruling that Trump liked in New York City and so I saw Trump saying he was happy about the ruling and so I said oh what is this ruling? So I went to look for it. Couldn't find it. Couldn't find it. So I finally had to ask Grok to go find me the news about why is Trump happy about some ruling. So I found it out. So that was one thing that Grok did that helped me. I couldn't find it in the news. It seemed like it would be big news but wasn't on anybody's front page. So here's the ruling. I guess at the moment the judge who has already ruled about Trump's so-called inflating his assets etc. So he's already ruled that that was fraudulent. But then the question is what's the penalty. And one of the potential penalties is that Trump would lose all of his business or have to put it in some kind of a trust or something in New York. So apparently the judge has decided to temporarily halt that so we don't know what happens in the long run. But at the moment the judge is not closing down Trump's business in New York. Is that because it's so obvious that there was no victim of the crime and they would not close down anybody else's business in the same circumstance? Is it just too embarrassing at this point? Looks like it.

Well Hunter Biden is in trouble now. He's got some charges against him. So he's got what, nine charges, mostly for taxes or all for taxes I guess. I guess he was writing off his hookers and his drugs and his sex clubs and everything else as business and treating things as loans and oh my God it was just a mess. So apparently his tax cheating was just epic. Like it wasn't just a little bit. It wasn't just when he was on drugs. He was just a gigantic tax cheat allegedly. We'll see if they prove it. But here's what CNN says. Oh by the way we there's no FARA charges. So FARA is a thing that says you have to register as a foreign agent if you're doing work for other countries that would have a political impact I guess. So he didn't register that way but he was clearly taking money from China and Ukraine etc. So there's a thought that because the language that we've seen does mention his work in the other countries and it mentions some specifically that probably there might be some consideration of some further charges later about those not being a registered lobbyist thing. But at the moment it's just about his not paying taxes and he spent his money on drugs and escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels, rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and other items. Yikes.

As Stephen Miller points out on X, you have to appreciate that the previous president's son, so Trump's son, was at a meeting once and it was a two-year long news cycle. And now we learn that the current president's son is basically Patrick Bateman. And CNN fact checker, CNN's fact checker is away on leave and the Washington Post fact checker is on strike. So the Biden news comes out when the CNN fact checker is on vacation or on leave and the Washington Post is on strike. That's too good. That is a good post. Stephen Miller, nicely done on that one.

So what do you think? Do you think that the charges against Hunter are a clear indication that the Democrats have flipped on Biden and that they want him to get out of there as soon as possible and he's not going so they're just going to keep the pressure on? That's what it looks like to me. It looks like Hunter was being protected politically and now they don't want to protect him. In fact they want to put pressure on Biden to get out of there. I got a feeling that's what's happening. Now I told you I thought Biden was hanging on so he could pardon Hunter but at least some of the charges are California charges am I right? So you wouldn't be able to pardon them on any California charges and these are pretty serious felony charges. Delaware you say? Well I see California listed as the state on these. All right those are California federal courts. Oh it's a federal court but in California is that what you're telling me? Oh okay correction correction. It's California based but it's a federal court in California. All right sorry I got that wrong. Federal. So all the charges are federal is that correct so far? All charges are federal. Well isn't that convenient? How convenient. The charges against Trump end up being state charges, huh? But the charges against Hunter all are conveniently federal. How about that, huh?

Now if he didn't pay his taxes can we just take this to the next level? Are you seriously telling me that they're going to charge him federally for not his federal taxes but there's no state that wants to charge him for not paying his state taxes? So do the federal charges cover not paying his state taxes? I don't know. I have questions about that.

All right. Van Jones as you know criticized Vivek Ramaswamy because he said that there is something like a replacement theory happening meaning that the white Americans are being replaced by foreigners. And Van Jones said well that's pretty racist sounding thing to say that there's some kind of plan to replace white people with brown people. And it took all of one day for Vivek and his team to find a video of Van Jones saying, this is actually Van Jones saying this in 2021, the request from the racial justice left is we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority and like it. He says that's a tough request and change is hard. So in Van Jones' own words he says that the left, that's his group, very directly wants to get rid of the white majority and wants the white majority to be happy about it. He said that. He said it directly. That's exactly what Vivek is saying. That there's an intention. It's not just happening accidentally but the people on the left have an intention of replacing white people until they're not in charge anymore according to them. Yeah. Now that's about as good a dunk as you can do. It's hard to find a dunk that's this clean where somebody criticized you and then you find in 2021 a video of them saying exactly the thing they criticize you for. That's a good dunk.

According to City Journal the University of Washington for years has been directly avoiding hiring white candidates and even if they were best qualified they would use a process of making up different qualifications so they could hire someone else. That they would basically change the job requirements until it no longer fit the highly qualified person and something about life experience or something it fit somebody else. All right. So they actually have a handbook that's been obtained by the National Association of Scholars that spells out how to exclude candidates of quote undesirable races. You know that I don't think this says undesirable races. This is just somebody else's opinion that it's undesirable or that they think it's undesirable. So it's in writing. It's in writing yeah.

How about those air traffic controllers? Apparently the House Republicans are taking action to reverse an Obama administration policy that would lower the skill requirement for air traffic controllers so they could get more diversity. And the assessment reportedly gives it gives more, I don't know if any of this is true this doesn't sound true but maybe. But here's the claim that if you're an applicant to be an air traffic controller and you have a scientific background that they would ding you for it because it might make you sound too white or Asian if you understood science. This is the most racist thing I've ever seen in my life anyway. And then they'll give you extra points if you haven't been employed for three years. So they want you not to understand science but also to be somebody who's been unemployable in general for three years. I will never fly again. I'm not going to fly until those damn planes are flying themselves. You can't get me a self-flying plane fast enough. I mean seriously this is hilariously stupid. But to their credit the Republicans are trying to fix it.

Now I've got an observation that you've seen more people talk about. Do you know, I think a lot of you do know, who is the most discriminated demographic group in the United States and has been for decades? The most discriminated group for decades in the United States has been, well I asked that question on a poll. Let me update it see what people said. So I said what group in America experiences the most direct discrimination. So not, and then I cheekily said I'm not including women in the survey for obvious reasons. Do you know what the obvious reasons are that I'm not including women in the survey? Because it's obviously not them. They're obviously not the ones we're most discriminated against. So there's no point in putting them in there. So my categories were white men, black men, Asian men and Hispanic men. And here's how my followers or at least the ones who saw this, so 7,800 votes and 82% say white men are the group that experiences most discrimination. Next is Asian men at 9%, black men at 7% and Hispanic men at 2%.

Now do you wonder why Hispanic men are streaming into the country at record levels? How about the fact that they experienced the least amount of discrimination including the people who are already here. Imagine being Hispanic and you're trying to come into the country illegally and you find out not only can you come in illegally but they'll be very polite. They'll be very polite to you at the border. They might give you food and medical care if you need it and then they will take you to a place that will provide you food and shelter until you can get established. What would you think of America if that was your experience? Because that's the experience of a whole lot of people right now. I would love America. Like even though I might be in a bad situation until I can build something and get something going I would love the fact that they embraced me when I walked in illegally. How do you not love that? That's pretty awesome.

So yeah it makes sense. But why do you think it is that the press and social media and most of the people who don't follow me on social media, why would they not answer that white men are the most discriminated class? What would cause them not to know that? In my opinion there are something like 100 million direct witnesses that this is true. White men. I'll say it again. There are at least 100 million direct eyewitnesses that white men are the most directly discriminated in America. 100 million witnesses spanning at least 40 years. So why do the rest of the country not know this if there are 100 million witnesses? 100 million witnesses. That's not, I don't think that's an exaggeration. That might be low. Like I picked a conservative number. It could be 200 million but at least 100 million direct witnesses. Do you know why it's not in the news and we act like we don't know it? Because the other 250 million people are taking it as their full-time job to make sure that the 100 million don't say it out loud. Am I wrong? 250 million people are making goddamn sure that the 100 million don't talk because if they do the whole game is lost. The whole game is to keep abusing this one class of citizens and make them say they like it.

Do you know who says, who agrees with me? Van Jones. He said it directly in 2021 that you're trying to get white people to like it and that's a hard sell because why would they? Why would they? Yeah. So let me say it again. There are 100 million witnesses to this crime. 100 million. And there are 250 telling them to shut up, keep their mouth shut. That's why. That's why people don't know about it. That's the whole story right there.

Now here's what I think. I don't know if this is true for everybody. I think white men are just done. You know what that means right? We're done rolling over because it didn't work. Here let me tell you about white men. I can't speak for any other group and I probably shouldn't speak for white men but it's an observation. You know it's not like a scientific fact but white men very much want to get along. We just don't want to make trouble. Just want to earn my money, take care of the family, stay out of trouble. And as long as that works we will eat shit. So much. As long as I'm making my money, taking care of the family, you know I get to drink some beer and watch some sports I'm good. But once you get to the point where you can't earn money and you can't take care of your family you don't have any reason to keep your mouth shut. So you're going to see some free speech like you never expected because people like me are putting our entire lives on the line to make this possible for you. You know that right? You know I put my life on the line to make this possible for the rest of you to speak maybe a little bit more freely. Yeah this is not just social media doesn't like you. It's not just oh you lost a little money. We're putting our lives on the line. And it's because we're done. We're just done. It's time to be honest and you're going to get some honesty that you were not expecting. And in the end it will be good. In the end it will be good for everybody because I don't think there's bad intentions anywhere. There's no bad intentions. It's just we've ate shit for 40 years and now we're done. Let me say that again. White men, we ate shit for 40 years and now we're done. So things will be different. I don't know exactly how but we're definitely done. So just know that.

All right. Charlamagne tha God is one of the guest hosts of The Daily Show I guess. They have a rotating schedule of guest hosts until they can find a permanent one. But Charlamagne tha God says he wants Biden to deliver the ultimate Christmas gift and drop out of the race. Now Charlamagne tha God identifies presumably on the left Democratic side of things and so he's saying it directly now. I think that's useful and smart and I would give him credit for being a good citizen and a patriot in this regard. I don't know what else he's done but I kind of have a positive opinion of him for this.

So here's the interesting thing. So I looked at some of the other people who were on board to maybe guest host and I was thinking who would maybe not be able to get this job as a guest host on The Daily Show who would be qualified. Can you think of two people you know who would be totally qualified for the job but could not get it if they applied for it? Well one would be me. Would you agree? Would you agree that I'm both qualified for the job? I'm literally a humorist who talks about the news in a humorous fashion on a live stream six days a week. That's pretty qualified right? I have a long track record of success in professional domains very much like this. Kind of perfect. I've been offered jobs like this years ago. ABC Good Morning America offered me a job to be an on-air commentator. So I think I'd be qualified. But do you think I could get that job in 2024? No. No. Do you know who else would never get hired for that job? Here's the funny one. I saved the funny one. Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart, do you think Jon Stewart could get a job on The Daily Show in 2024? I doubt it. So Jon Stewart how you feeling now?

All right. Glenn Greenwald continues to be, I don't know what the word for it is but he is so useful to America even though he doesn't live here, right? He is so useful because he's willing to say any damn thing that is unpleasant but you should hear it. Like I love that about him even when I disagree with him which happens sometimes. But he said this has been the single best week in years for the cause of limiting free expression and free discourse. In other words he's saying you know censorship is at an all-time high. He says anyone who claims they believe in free speech while they cheer the union of hedge fund billionaire and DC politicians to impose speech limits is a fraud.

So I think what he's talking about if I interpret this correctly is that the people telling the pro-Palestinian people to shut up are anti-free speech. Now are those people making it very very difficult for Jewish students to just enjoy their lives and feel safe and go to college? Yeah yeah. Super super uncomfortable. And I don't know what you do about that and still maintain free speech. So it looks like the colleges are probably going to prefer keeping the students safe I think in the long run and that probably means limiting free speech. Are you in favor of that? Because the problem is that one person's incitement to violence is another person's ordinary talking. So and I think Glenn made this point that when to Jewish and American ears some of the things that the Palestinian supporters say sound kind of like kill them all and it sounds like that to me. But his argument would be that they're not thinking that way and therefore we're misinterpreting to some extent. I think it would be more fair to say some of them are definitely thinking of it that way but others might not. So what do you do with that right? That's a tough one.

So let me state again I'm 100% in favor of Israel's response to October 7th. 100%. I think everything they've done so far looks right to me in the sense that we would have done the same thing. So I don't judge anybody who does exactly what I would have done in the same situation. How can I? So I'm 100% in favor of everything they've done so far. And I take myself out of the conversation for everything that happened before October 7th, right? So I'm not endorsing Israel. I'm not condemning them. I'm not interested. I'm just not interested. That's their business. They can work it out. But if you're asking me about October 7th yeah if that happens to your country you're going to respond exactly the way Israel is if you're smart and you have the ability to do it.

But that said there is some impact on free speech that's happening right now and I'm glad that Glenn Greenwald is calling it out. So I'm going to give him a little bit of support on this while saying that I hate seeing the pictures of the Palestinians who seem to be horrifying the Jewish students. I don't see the benefit to it. I don't like it. I hate everything about it. But you know what? When Black Lives Matter was protesting I was a little uncomfortable with that but except for the violent parts I still support it. When the racists, the Nazis are getting their little group together of 12 people that's all they can ever muster these days and the 12 people say terrible things I still favor their free speech. Don't agree with their message. So I'm on the Greenwald side. I think that we're chipping away at free speech because we are too invested in protecting one side. Now that's not a bad impulse. I kind of like the fact that we're invested in protecting parts of our public. So it's a tough one. You almost can't have free speech and also protect the public the way it should be protected. So it's going to be a tough one.

So I guess Israel is using seawater to flood those tunnels over there in Gaza now. And we saw some videos that show a bunch of prisoners that came out of the tunnels rather than drowned. And some people are calling it a success way too early. It looked like I don't know maybe 40 people they captured in one video. That's not anywhere near the number that are down there. So we don't know if it's working and we don't know if it's going to destroy the big risk if you didn't know this is that because it's underground stuff if you pump a bunch of seawater in there it's going to pollute the aquifer which is freshwater. So Gaza depends on drilling into the freshwater that will be polluted by maybe the salt water. So it's possible that the freshwater supply for Gaza is gone forever. Gone forever right? Because if you get the seawater in there you can't really get it out. It becomes unusable. Now maybe there's some desalinization way to get around that but that's a pretty big secondary effect.

And I would add this to my watch list of signals that suggest that Israel doesn't want it ever to be resettled. Now I'm not going to make that as an accusation. I'm going to say I speculate that at least one possibility that would work for Israel is that nobody ever lives there again. And removing the freshwater would certainly go a long way toward making that happen. So it could be they're getting a twofer out of this but I don't want to accuse them of having that intention. It might just be what ends up happening. But if you're looking for the intention this would be one thing that would be consistent with it but not proof of it. And I have to say if it were me I might want to leave it uninhabited. Otherwise you just recreate the problem.

Let's see. Secretary Blinken says that the Ukraine situation was more of a win-win than we realize because 90% of the money that we quote sent to Ukraine was actually spent on American military contractors and manufacturers. Do you first of all do you believe that? Because I thought we were paying the pensions of politicians and we're feeding people and paying salaries of stuff. Do you believe that 90% of it went right back to American producers? And if it's true does that make you feel good or bad? If it's true then I would say it's a really high signal that it's an unnecessary war and that we're doing it for the benefit of the people who got the money. Have you ever heard of follow the money? As in follow the money explains everything you see all the time every time right? If you follow the money in this one a bunch of money came out of your pocket you know indirectly because we borrowed I suppose. It went right back into the pockets of these military contractors who have huge lobbying impact on Congress. Does that suggest this is a war we should be supporting or does it suggest it's the only war we had available to keep the military industrial complex humming along? To me it looks like an optional war that we did it just to keep feeding the military industrial complex. If Ukraine went away tomorrow do you think we wouldn't find another place to go to war? Of course we would because we have an entire industry that requires some kind of a brewing hot war or else they can't make as much money. Yeah so yeah.

So there are 600,000 dead Ukrainians. Kim Dotcom was saying this. You got over 600,000 dead Ukrainians and Blinken stands up there and says it looks like a win-win scenario because Ukraine lost probably more than a million people I'm sure. And what we got was some good income. He actually said that. I mean I'm paraphrasing it but he actually said it was a win-win. That Ukraine is winning by somehow losing their entire young base. That's a hell of a win. I don't know.

All right ladies and gentlemen that concludes my comments. The best you've ever seen. I guess I was a little more honest than I was expecting today. Let's keep an eye on Grok see if it improves. I think it'll be rapidly improving. I wouldn't think too hard about its current flaws. I think it's early release. Wanted to get it out there get some comments. I think we're probably two months away from Grok just blowing your mind but we'll see. Yeah all right. YouTube thanks for joining and I will talk to you later tomorrow probably. You're awesome.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization at least until a big old asteroid destroys Humanity but that's not going to happen right away until that happens would you like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand sure you do you would love that and all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass a tankered shell or sty and a canteen jug or flask of vegetable of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine H the day is called the simultaneous sip happens now go ah you've been culated it's a siy slope you take one sip you'll be back back every day sipping every day you can't even you can't even help yourself yeah it's a sippery slope you've been syneti I just stole that joke you've been sypno all right let's talk about all the things because there are lots lots of interesting news today in science and politics and racism and War and all that stuff so these are a few of my favorite things all right grock is here that's the the AI that Elon Musk has promised you it's now rolled out to Premium Plus users I guess be Bay extra so I've got my copy uh and I will give you my review of grock the new AI number one um it's maybe 3.5 GP level in other words if you've used GPT 4.0 this will this will look a little primitive compared to that doesn't have the features and bells and whistles yet but one assumes that we're probably you know maybe one month away from parody because the parody happens pretty quickly so I wouldn't judge it yet um I would call it beta it feels kind of beta test like they're going to collect a lot of opinions and let me tell you some of the things that we've learned so far uh number one you get really really tired of it's joking after about the third interaction the first time it it it gets kind of uh let's say friendly because it's based on kind of a model where it jokes with you and and it's always sort of non-serious yeah you you're you're going to want to turn that off right away so it took me about a minute before I asked it to turn that off it's like okay that that was fun almost once but not really because it doesn't it doesn't quite feel like a personality it still feels like a machine pretending to be somebody else's personality so it doesn't it doesn't hit you as oh it's a person or anything like that but it might someday it might so the other issue is that it lies and oh my God does it lie like about some serious stuff so I wouldn't use it for any fact checking yet I'd kind of wait on that um for example I asked her if had read my books I told her who I am and it understood that I'm the dilber cartoonist guy so it knows who I am and it knows the name of my books and I asked him if it had read any and said not only they had read my books but had Incorporated some of my writing techniques into its answers in other words according to grock uh I was already part of its DNA but it's a liar when I first saw that I thought what seriously it it has some part of my personality in it because it read my book and Incorporated it into its personality that's what it told me but it turns this is the sort of things that tells you just because it you might want to hear it right if you query it it it rapidly becomes clear it has not read any of my books and in other occasions I can ask it about my books and it won't know they exist or to list some but not others right so the so at the moment the results are closer to random than anything that you could use with confidence um here's another example of that I saw Shawn Davis thought to ask this question first he asked if his uh content was being throttled on X and then grock said yes it was so sha Davis finds out from grock apparently that his own his own data is being throttled so I said to myself whoa I'm going to try this so I try it too and it says the same thing I mean different words but it tells me that I'm definitely being uh that I'm that I've been labeled as sensitive content and throttled so grock told me that my account was labeled sensitive content by a and throttled but here's the thing it's not true do you know why I know it's not true there's no way grock has access to that information grock doesn't know who's throttled there's no way it knows that Am I Wrong does anybody want to take a bet I will bet you a large sum of money that grock does not have access to its its own internal not its own but X's internal algorithms there's no way it has access to that no way does anybody believe it has access to that information or or that it can determine it in some other pattern recognition way I don't know here's what I do think is possible on You.

Tube what people call censorship is actually an intelligent pairing of advertising content with the type of content that would not be offensive to advertisers now when you when you make provocative content as I do that feels like censorship but when You.

Tube's business people will explain it to you which they did to me they they personally explained it to me um it actually just sounds like business because why would they have to pair my provocative content with their advertisers if the advertisers specifically ask for it not to happen which is what does happen on You.

Tube the advertisers say don't don't parir us with this bad content so then they just do it it's just a business decision so that's one of the reasons I'm not really really hard on You.

Tube for any censorship of provocative stuff uh it's just unpleasant things to put with advertising it's just not a good pair so I get that so X is also an advertising model at the moment uh less so because of subscriptions but still an advertising model and would it surprise you if shows that are always about news which is about death and destruction and all that stuff uh would it surprise you if x had a internal rule that had advertisers like this content about kittens more than they like content about war that wouldn't be too surprising you know what honestly as long as X said that's what they were doing I wouldn't have a terrible problem with it actually now there would be the question of people who pay the higher price to have no advertisements so I would hope if I'm being prevented from you know interacting with anybody because of advertising if that's happening I don't know that that's happening but if it's happening uh as long as it's only limited to people who see ads that's not so bad right so if you paid to not see ads shouldn't you have full access to my provocative material I would say yes so because is one of those half you know partly subscription and partly you know wild Advertising based I I wouldn't have the biggest problem in the world if they throttled me on the advertiser part of their business I mean I would prefer they didn't but if it's just a business decision I don't know as long as the UN as long as the people paying to not see ads are not throttled that's not terrible to me that would be just everybody getting something closer to what they want all right um let's check in on uh threads you know meta has this competitive product um apparently Mark Zuckerberg posted on it yesterday which is big news because he hasn't posted on his own product in three weeks Ian miles John uh noted that and I'm thinking to myself yeah that's pretty much all you need to know about threads Elon Musk is on on X all day long and it definitely makes the product better CU you know he's just there you just feel his personality all the time uh yeah I think threads is dead I haven't even thought to check my threads account which I do have I haven't checked it in two months haven't even had the slightest interest it it's interesting why some things interest you and others don't but I'm pretty sure that I don't like threads because there's no provocation on it it was too just too uh ordinary there's just nothing there all right uh Tesla um gave for free the technical guides to the new 48 volt technology gave it to their competitors so Tesla gave their probably one of the most key important new technologies it's a some upgraded way to handle their uh their electricity in their vehicles 48 volt uh technology I guess most of it had been 12vt but they're going to 48 volt for some kind of major advantages so they actually gave the technology for free to Ford and other companies that make electric cars now put on your business hat smart smart or not smart to give away this proprietary advanced technology to your competitions smart yeah now this only makes sense because they have such a dominant position if you're if you have a dominant position and you're pretty confident you can keep it then you want everybody to build out the industry so that they're building Chargers that you can use you know in the perfect world Ford would make a charging station that a Tesla can use that's going to be way better for Tesla users than for Ford users I mean it's probably going to work both ways you know Tesla has opened up to other other cars charging so yes having some kind of voluntary standards for some of this stuff probably makes the industry better I mean just knowing how to do a better technology and probably makes gas cars last less long you know if the net effect of all this is that well let me I'm a perfect example I am currently in the sort of General stage of looking for a new vehicle right and so I've got to make the choice of electric versus non-electric car I was sure that by the time I made this Choice it would be an easy choice I thought that by the time I had to get another vehicle you know so several years ago I got a gas vehicle and I thought that my next vehicle would be electric for sure if not fully self-driving but now and then I look at it I think you know what yeah you know what is my biggest psychological block and maybe this is useful for Tesla I have this issue where if somebody doesn't personally show me how to use a Tesla charging station I will never buy a Tesla does anybody have that and this is a defect it's a defect in my personality if a human doesn't drive me there in their own Tesla while I'm in the while I'm in the passenger seat and say watch how easy this is you know you just wait in this line you plug this in here and you just see here for 20 minutes if nobody shows it to me in person I'm never going to buy that car do you know why and again this is purely irrational this is this is a defect in me so you don't have to say you don't have to say what's wrong with you Scott you can just acknowledge that I say this is a defect it's the same reason I don't use um car washes at gas stations I wrote about this because if I don't know exactly how to use the car wash the one you drive through yourself I'm afraid that I'll get stuck in the car wash and they'll they'll have to like dismantle the entire car wash to get me out and it'll be on the front page of the news cartoonist drives car backwards into car wash idiot doesn't know the first thing about washing car s so obvious they should have gone in forward how did he think it should go in backwards what was he thinking dumbest cartoonist in the world no wonder he was gazell like that's what goes through my mind and I have the same feeling about the car the car charging station I feel like I would get in the wrong line as if there are wrong lines I don't even know if there are is there right line in the wrong line I would get in the wrong line I'd get to the front find out that I had the wrong nozzle for charging my car but I'd be trapped there so there wouldn't be a way to turn around and everybody behind me would be honking at me and laughing now nothing like that's going to happen right where it's not a nozzle I know but it's funnier to say nozzle nozzle is just a funny word can you agree with me on that nozzle is a funny word that's all so I do use it out a context cuz it's funny word so why don't you get your nozzle out of my business see it works in every context will you keep your nozzle out of my business yeah it's a great word you should use it anyway so if I were Tesla I would make a little video that shows somebody pulling up and very easily charging their car and then showing how many charging stations there are in my area so I can say oh I'm never going to run out and also also what do you do when you run out of electricity I'm guessing there's somebody like a Tesla person with a truck who drives up and charges your car for you you don't tow it right just some Tesla facility of some kind comes and charges you up right now those are the things I don't know and if I saw a if I saw really just a 30 second video 30 seconds is all I need drive up take it out stick it in you're good here's all the charging stations if you run in a charge here's the truck that comes and get you like 30 seconds and I'd be all good psychologically but psychologically I can't get past that barrier does anybody else have this I'm just trying to find out how unusual I am does anybody else have the same thing I'm talking about okay bunch of yeses on locals there's lots of yeses now here's another industry where I have the same problem two here's two two other businesses that I would uh have the same problem number one if you had never gotten a professional massage and you didn't know somebody to talk to who did it all the time would you sign up for one I wouldn't I would never sign up for a professional massage if I'd never talked in person to somebody who did it a lot and really could walk you through you know what's what's awkward and what's normal and you know how much of your clothes do you take off and where do they touch you and do you talk to them how do you tip like all that it would just be too awkward I wouldn't do it now luckily I've passed through that barrier here's another one I would love to take a yoga class now I I did a little yoga in college in the class once and I liked it here's why I don't go I do I do I need to bring like my own little mat and what happens if I'm if I don't understand all the language like everybody else in the class what happens if they say all right downward dog and I'm like I don't know what that is do I just watch is that enough will they tease me if I can't keep up what happens if I can't keep up all right so I just have a bunch of questions right and it prevents me from ever signing up for a class plus I never have them in the afternoon when I'm available but that's another thing all right there's this uh big box that's your doctor now you can walk into a big box uh and they put the big boxes they call them pods but it's just a big box and it'll be in a mall they've got a few they're being they're actually these are real these are being rolled out now so there's one uh let's see it's called carepod and so do it-yourself health clinic in a box um and you walk into one of these carepods and it might be in your mall or some central place but it could be just like a kiosk in a mall and you could go in and it will scan your whole body you apparently you could just stand up like a like an airport scanner and just scans you doesn't that seem dangerous how in the world can they St scan you when you just standing there if you go to an MRI you've got to you've got to do all these you know and you can't have like infinite x-rays that's so I I don't know how any of that works but they also have a way you can draw your own blood for a blood test now don't you wonder how that works I thought how in the world do they have a robot that like puts a needle in turns out there's no needle they can draw blood without a needle did you know that they apparently this is existing technology they put a little suction uh Cup on your arm or wherever you put it and it just sucks uh and it can't get much blood cuz it's sucking through through and there's no wound there's no hole it just starts sucking it directly under of your arm and if it sucks hard enough it can get blood so it takes about four minutes but it will just suck the blood right out of your arm like a leech Isn't that cool it's kind of cool um but anyway so and that's not all it can do it can do a bunch of things check your heart uh Etc so I'm pretty sure and then then there are doctors that you can call for tella health so you can get a doctor on video to work with your other issues very good all right that should take a dent of uh see I think where we're going on inflation is we'll get to the point where the normal things we have to do are much cheaper um you know I harp on this all the time but I think the the process of getting food from a farm into your mouth is so so amazingly inefficient because of all the transportation and rules and everything that eventually you're going to have a little food growing operation connected to your house so your own food costs will be you know maybe 20% of what they would have been otherwise but also this these advances in health care I think you're going to make Health Care 20% of what it could be I think people will still pay for the full service one if they can afford it but there'll be a whole bunch of people who go for the one that's 20% of the cost and gets you almost as good you know maybe 95% is good as a expensive full service Model A lot of people are going to take that especially younger people nuclear energy is still surging at least in interest if not building 20 plus countries have signed a declaration to Triple nuclear capacity so nuclear is now fully absolved of all this bad reputation you know I'll tell you I I feel great satisfaction that I was one of a number of people who for the last seven years or so have been just hammering the reframing for nuclear just hammering it it's like okay if you want if you want green if you don't want climate change you're going to have to wake up on nuclear energy it's much safer than it used to be ET so it looks like that message um you know Michael shellenberger and you know a lot of other people uh are the primary drivers of that and so congratulations to them there's there's a new AI product that can translate you into 130 or more languages but uh a a video of you so you already know the AI can listen to you speaking and then dub in a different language but your lips would not yet and Mark let's say shout out to Mark Schneider uh for his work on nuclear framing uh especially Mark and anyway so you know that AI could already translate you almost instantly but your your lips would not match up with the words however there's a new product that actually will sink your lips on the video in other words it will reanimate your mouth so it matches the language that you choose now that's cool that's cool now that I keep waiting for stuff that's genuinely useful because AI I always tease AI because it looks like demo Weare it's like stuff that is demonstrating what it might be able to do later but it can't do now and it's just so frustrating look at what it almost can do but can I do it now no but almost and now can I do it now yes you can do it now well why don't I know how to do it well you'd have to be trained well how long would it take to train few days and in two days would it be the same AI that I trained on no no that'll be totally replaced in two days so here's a uh I don't know if anybody has mentioned this before so I'll put my own name on it the Adams rule of AI training in this case trading the human to use the AI have you told yourself hey I should spend a day learning how to use this AI I told you that in the beginning you know when AI first broke I said oh you should just you should take a week and just like hunger down and learn everything about it because it's going to be everywhere totally wrong totally wrong you know why nothing stayed the same in one week you would become kind of a little expert but everything you learned that week would be completely useless one week later for example uh and by the way I'm a little bit proud that I predicted this and I'll need some confirmation because I might have predicted it in my head I don't know if I predicted it out loud but here's what I predicted that these so-called super prompts would not be useful in the long run in other words the AI would keep changing so that using the exact right way to ask the question would become obsolete so quickly because it wouldn't work on the next version that there would be almost no point in having super promps that has happened right so Brian relli is H talking about this and what to do about it because he's he consults with tech companies about AI and provided lots of super prompts that he had tested to know that these are good prompts but he gives all his clients the super prompts and then they AI upgrades and they break and how would you know what to do for the next version you couldn't know so you can't know if your old super prompt works anymore because maybe you're just using it as opposed to testing it every time you use it so they're already pre-tested but not against the AI that's going to be there next week so whatever this rule is that you can't learn it as fast as it changes and makes your learning um useless has that ever happened before is this the first time in history that the rate a human could learn a thing is too slow to use the thing because the thing will never be the same thing you learned now I'll tell you the first time I learned this because this happened to me in my career once I used have a job in a laboratory in the phone company one of my first jobs uh to test brand new equipment like new new types of phones to see if it would work with our digital products especially and so we would get all these new new products you know AT&T would make a new phone or whatever and we plug it in and it would take us you know a few weeks to test it all and everything and then I would write up a report so that the customers could know whether to buy this equipment and whether or not it would work with theone phone company CU I didn't want to buy equipment unless the phone company was compatible and things were changing quickly so I would you know take me a few weeks to test things get them in put out my report and do you know what would happen by the time my report went out every time the the hardware that I tested had a firmware upgrade in the meantime what good was my test the test the test had no value at the moment it was the moment it was published had no value because without the the software or firmware of that product you've tested nothing because we know it physically connects like I wasn't testing to see if the plug goes into the hole I was seeing if the software and the firmware know what to do once it's plugged in so no you could not test it wasn't possible to to test fast enough that it would be useful so we ended up just waiting it basically well self-flying airplanes are coming uh the FAA has approved an uncrewed flight test so a remote controlled not even remote controlled it's flying on its own but it would have humans who could sort of monitor it from a distance but um having been at one point married to a pilot um I learned a little bit about the the flying business you know from just osmosis being near it and one of the things I learned is that learning to fly is so unnecessarily complicated that it couldn't possibly last in other words there's no way in 50 years that a pilot is going to have to learn how to fly by uh instruments there's no way the the AI is just going to fly it if it's cloudy that's it the GPS is going to tell you where to go and when you get near the airport the airport the airport will talk to the uh flood talk to the plane you know automatically as well as human if they need to and the plane will know everything it needs it will know what the traffic is in the air it will know what's on the ground it will know what's coming toward it it will know all the conditions and if it hits like a wind shear on the way in it will adjust with AI way faster than a human could way faster if if uh who was it JFK Jr if he had AI he wouldn't have died because he didn't know how to fly with instruments the instruments would have just have taken over because what would be what would be the easiest thing for AI to do in an airplane the easiest thing is to fly straight there's nothing easier than that right fly straight and the reason that somebody like JFK genu would die in the crash is that you lose your orientation in the clouds you actually don't know what's up and what's down like you know you yeah you get vertigo so if you just push the AI button and say can you take over till we get out of these clouds you know fly me out of the clouds you would never have a crash because somebody couldn't fly by instruments and the and the total amount of processing you probably have to add to a flight to make it fully AI is probably the size your phone right there's no weight added that the airplane doesn't have any extra burden it would just be smarter so there is no way that people are going to be learning to fly the way they do now if there are even human Pilots at all that so everything in aviation is going to change drastically very quickly all right um I've got a prediction that the advertising model of uh the news and the advertising model of the big social media platforms cannot survive AI have you reached the same conclusion that you can't have ai at the same time as you have an advertising model that they cannot coexist you all know that right I'll give you the reason but have you have you reached that conclusion on your own yet that's a big change here's why uh as also bride relli teaches us we're all going to have our own AI the the AIS that we're using like you know grock and chat GPT or cloud-based you know you're you're typing at home but the Computing is happening somewhere in the internet well we already have and apparently it's trivially easy technologically to run an AI That's your own AI That's only on your devices and nobody else can see it or play with it and it knows you you can teach it about yourself and you can train it to do just stuff you want it to do what's the first thing you're going to do if I get my you know good general purpose AI That's local the first thing I'm going to do is say uh go to CNN download all their videos remove the advertisements edit them so they're Tighter and faster speed them up to 1.4 speed and then present them to me on a page why wouldn't I do that do you think AI can't download a video or Sunday download a video strip out the ads cuz Who would know what an advertisement is and then present it to you in a tighter form of course again why would you ever watch it with the ad what would ever make you go to CNN's website again if if something could simply click there and download it for you and I would tell my AI to do that for me before I wake up so I'd come in and morning and I'd see a page that was you know curated just for me with no ads now who would not do that because at some point you'll be able to say um duplicate Scott's system and if I allowed you to know what that was your AI would just go find me duplicate the system give it to you and then you'd have it all right can AI embed ads yeah I guess it could AI could embed ads too it could go the other way but I think the ad model can survive and which also tells me that X might be the surviving platform in the long run because um in the long run I think X might move to more subscriber and it should I think the other ones will be trying to catch up well the Washington Post strike is hilarious um so it turns out that the owner is this uh rich white guy and the Washington Post has been hiring uh people who really don't like rich white men do you think Bezos has saw that coming so there's a video by the strikers in which there's uh you know lots of images of the strikers talking so one at a time their face would appear and then they say why they're striking how many white men do you think were in that group it's most mostly women I I don't know if it was mostly women who wanted to talk on camera but they seem to be a female organization primarily based on the videos the strikers look overwhelmingly female but also overwhelmingly people of color so um it looks like they're being eaten alive by their own their own policies in a sense and uh who was it that mocked them for writing uh articles about how great biomics are while complaining that they need a raise because of inflation so the same publication that's been telling you the economy is great it's your imagination if you think otherwise they're striking because I can't pay the rent but uh who was it who said damn it I should have G credit to this but their one of one of their demands is they want to spend less time in the office office so they want to have a guaranteed two days per week remote and one month a year that they can be anywhere which is pretty pretty aggressive bargaining but the way I read it is that uh they're striking to spend less time in the office with Phil bump is that too far I know if it were me I'd strike so I could spend less time around Phil bump okay he's my Nemesis so I I like to tease I I tease Phil bump and if you think that is 23 in me uh indicates that he's 82% thumb well that's not true that's not true all right uh big problems for ramas Swami and Christie uh apparently to get in the next poll you've got to be polling over 10% and in in the last several average of polls and they're not so both Rama Swami and christe don't look like they're going to be in the next debate the way things look based on current polling but um Haley Nikki Haley and uh uh and Governor dentus will be there now why do you think that Nikki hilly it's just because she's a woman right I I'm pretty sure it's not because her policies are lighting anybody up yeah I think it's just she's a woman and by the way that's fine that's not a problem if women if women or men want to have a a woman in the job I know it's about time you know as much as I rail against wokeness I was actually happy we finally had a black president and I would be happy when we finally get a female president I'd like it to be a you know qualified person of course but I feel like I feel like the country is better off if you if you just sort of cross those things off the list just so we don't have to talk about it again would wouldn't you like it if the next time a major female candidate is within Striking Distance that we don't have to talk about her genitalia wouldn't that be good to just just get it off the conversation list how about how about a woman can be president how about being black does not prevent you from being president okay can we move on are we done with that now can we just move to something else well let's see you Biden doing more racist stuff um so see how quickly you can determine how racist this is right there's nothing that sounds racist but see how quickly you can identify it CU now you're you're tuned to it all right there's a story that says uh the Biden Administration it wants to help hundreds of thousands of households to realize their dream of home ownership so they're going to uh uh increase the supply of affordable homes by essentially paying people money so they can afford to buy home so the government is going to help people by affordable homes all people do you think what what kind of people does that mean like all citizens right like every kind of Citizen if you don't have enough money no no I didn't even have to read the article and I I I I disavowed it for being racist in public and said I didn't read it I did that was that was that embarrassing to me to disavow it for being racist without seeing anything racist about it because I didn't even read the details no because later after I posted that it was racist I looked at it and of course it is of course it is that it's primarily to increase home ownership among groups that traditionally don't have as much home ownership what does that mean not white men basically yeah it's just a purely overtly obviously unambiguously racist use of my tax money and and the argument is that uh white people had assets you know from their past that they're building on so it's way easy to own a way easier to own a home if you come from you know parents who also owned a home Etc well my parents owned a home but they didn't give any of that to me in fact they died with more of my money in their estate than they had of their own money I think so why do I have to pay for somebody Brown to buy a house with my money when I got no benefits from it whatsoever I had no benefits from you know uh assets but anyway anyway so super racist we'll talk about all the things you're waiting for in a moment um here's a lesson on how not to do math in public so Ian Bremer uh posts on a list of all the things that are going right in the economy and then he made this mistake which I caution you not to make never use this sentence about your statements on social media unless you're really sure you're right so he so he shows a graph that shows a whole bunch of things that are going well in the country that people don't know are going well on economics and then he said says just going to leave this here now just going to leave this here is a strong statement that says this is so right that you can't even argue it and by the way I don't even have to explain to you why this is so right it's so obviously clearly unambiguously right I'm just going to leave this right here and just walk away I rest my case now again I say you got to make sure that you're right when you do that one so uh Fox News business host uh Charles Payne uh did the work for me because I would have done it I would have done it but he did the work for me and he says I'm sick of media mocking folks about their struggles meaning about their economic situation one year parameter is a trap and disingenuous yes there it is he looked at a one-ear period in which things are going well because things were going so poorly before that it's the classic way to mislead the public the classic way to mislead the public is to give them a cherry-picked uh set of things so that's the first problem so I'm sorry Ian they left out is there a gigantic debt problem that's going to destroy the country like the most important thing about the economy yeah or can you can you can you food uh gas and groceries as well as you could I mean the basic questions you should have been asking were not included in his in his little list that he he just said he's just going to leave here but to his credit Charles Pay would have none of that and quickly noticed it was a one-year period which is no way to look at anything and that you know all add that it leaves out some categories of course yeah and then Charles Payne after dun on uh Ian Bremer finishes with I'm just going to leave it here so let me say this um if you don't follow Ian Bremer you should because on geopolitical stuff very good very good on geopolitical stuff a good follow however and this is not this is not an insult this is not an insult Charles Payne is a business guy right so his his background his models his frame of thinking his business so when he looked at this he immediately could identify the problem with it because he has that frame if you're if you're not a business guy all day long you could be forgiven for not noticing something was missing right but you know I'm a business guy business school background I could see it immediately Charles Payne business guy could see it immediately so it does make a difference if you have those backgrounds all right so I guess the University of Penn president one of the three who refused to as clearly as she might have uh denounce uh well you know the whole Hamas situation um but now the University of Pennsylvania they're uh they got some kind of a uh board they're asking her to resign should she resign what do you think based on her inadequate public statements well this is what Bill Amman said that I thought was a really clever reframe right here's a reframe think of the three College professors MIT Harvard and uh upen and think about their answers in public to Congress and how they were smirky and it's kind of disgusting and Amman asked this question if those three position positions were open if there were available you know available positions does anybody think that any of those three current presidents would have even been considered based on what we know today no no they wouldn't no so why are they why are they presidents today this is Bill amman's frame it's kind of brilliant why are they presidents if everybody would agree that if the job were open they would never be hired that that seems like an easy decision doesn't it but we'll see I think the donors are going to put too much pressure on on the universities I think that they probably will be forced to resign but we'll see so Alex Jones was on Tucker Carlson and of course he makes a lot of news let's talk about that some of the things that we heard from Alex Jones are that um now first of all you should know that he's considered by many on the right to be practically psychic for his predictions that have been right on uh and the one that stands out is that before 911 I think only months before he was saying that Bin Laden uh might be uh let's say framed for something that you know dark shadowy people do and it might involve uh flying a jetliner into the World Trade Center he actually said that months before for 911 is that crazy now here's the question is he psychic is he lucky does he look at different um Source materials than you do and therefore he can piece things together I don't know but I'll tell you my best guess I I think he might be brilliant at pattern recognition and that the patterns often are subtle which is a I don't know if it's exactly prediction but I guess it would be yeah I guess it would be prediction and he talks about the materials he looked at before he came up with that prediction so apparently here's things we knew I'd never heard of been Laden but if you read certain materials about you know potential terrorism you would have heard that name so he knew who bin Lan was and he calls him an ex CIA asset all right now I didn't know that or I don't know about the CIA asset part but it's something he read now he we also know that the uh the same essentially the same group of terrorists had tried to bomb the World Trade Center so now you've got the the name of a terrorist because he was better informed than the rest of us and and he was known to be a dangerous one we've got a Target that they went after before this seems likely they might try again so here's the pattern so now you got a A person who does this kind of thing you you can name a Target because it's the same Target they tried before and I think they correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they threaten to do it again what wasn't there some suggestion they threaten to do it again right and then separately separately there had been a story around that time about a plot to I guess have the CIA or something uh do a false flag with a American airliner now those three things were roiling around in his head at the same time now if you're good at pattern recognition you say to yourself okay something about Bin Laden his name his name I keep seeing something about World Trade Center because they said they would go after it and they're also talking about an airline put them together Airline World Trade Center Bin Laden boom is that how he did it maybe maybe so it could actually be that he's good at pattern recognition and that he simply read more Source materials than you did by the way that's what he says he he says that's how he did it maybe that that might be exactly how he did it now before you go off and say my God he's right every time it's amazing I would caution you this if you don't have a list of all the things he's ever predicted to know whether this was like you know an amazing hit or was it one of a hundred wild things he said 10 of them happened 90 of them didn't does that give you a different impression of what's going on I don't know now he also has uh one other characteristic which probably serves him well he assumes the worst about the government now I hate I hate to say it but if you you just want to look psychic just predict that the government is lying about everything they say and you will look like a genius in five years am I right so part of his trick is he just always assumes the government's up to no good and that turns out to be a pretty good assumption yeah not always but pretty good so I don't know how to judge his accuracy but he's got some uh some genuine hits there that can't be ignored he also said that Joe Biden that he knows that Joe Biden walks around the White House naked at night and is all drugged up and then he and Tucker agreed because Tucker apparently has confirmed information that uh Biden's on amphetamines and that they they pump them up with amphetamines just before public appearances but then he's basically a a blithering idiot all the rest of the time does that sound right I would say it not only sounds right I feel like it's obvious don't you think it's kind of obvious that he's drugged up when they Trot him out in public yeah to to me I'd say if this isn't true I'd be really surprised really really surprised yeah so at what point do you get your president drug test would it be reasonable to ask because I don't believe the when the White House doctor does a um an exam aren't they supposed to tell us if the president's on drugs is that not part of what the public should know because what would be the point of saying oh this person is healthy if we don't know they're on cocaine or something do you think think amphetamines have no impact on your decision- making yeah do do you know what uh Isis is given to go into battle and Hamas Fighters are given to go into battle amphetamines do you know why they give them amphetamines because it makes them do Brave and Reckless things it makes them do Brave and Reckless things in other words they shouldn't have been brave about it they should have not done it all how do you like knowing that your uh your head of your military who's involved in one hot war and you know well I guess he's involved in two hot Wars although not with soldiers yet how do you like the fact that that's the guy who might be taking a drug almost certainly is taking a drug that guaranteed could you make you more uh let's say confident and therefore more prone to risk what do you think I feel like we need to know that and if we don't know it that should be uh grounds for impeachment that's what I think um there's a story that uh this is how Tucker Carlson is framing it that uh that the Biden Administration is openly threatening that if we don't fund Ukraine uh that our our sons will be sent to die now I'm not sure that's exactly the way it was framed but it's pretty close it's pretty close here's what actually happened so secret defense secretary Lloyd Austin told some members of the House in a closed briefing that if they don't appropriate more money for um for Ukraine uh will'll end up sending your uncles and cousins and Sons to fight in Russia now it's not exactly a threat it's more like a worst case scenario like if we don't do this we might be forced to do this other thing that we also don't want to do but it does come across as a threat even if that's not the intention he's using it literally to negotiate if you're using the risk of sending your children to die as your negotiating lever well that is sort of blackmail that is sort of blackmail isn't it it's it's right on the line I mean I guess you could say it's somewhat transparent except that it was closed door meeting I think which is not so transparent I'd feel less bad if he said it in public because at least you we all see exactly what's going on but if he's using that as a method to threaten uh lawmakers behind closed doors that's pretty not cool all right um uh Nikki H's uh campaign has an adviser that's already calling V ramas Swami's uh destruction of her during the uh debate as misogynist let me give you some advice Nikki Hy if you're running as a Republican and a woman and somebody criticizes you and your attack through at least through your proxies and I think she said it before is that it's misogyny you're no Republican how in the world does she have enough support to make it into the next I mean that's that's as unrean as you could be she's literally saying that her like her I mean well I don't even have to say more do I do I have to say more about that there's what else is there to say you could not be less qualified if that's the best you got the best you got is oh I'm a woman and I'm superior because I'm a woman what she said she actually actually says she's Superior cuz she's a woman and that also anybody who has a criticism of her policies is a misogynist you Nikki hilly you I do not want you anywhere near the Oval Office because we don't need a sexist in the office right we don't need somebody who's an obvious misandrist sexist woke artist money spending piece of well that's just my opinion all right um let's see so see if you could recognize what this uh topic is um I'll I'll read a quote and this is comes out of a larger piece but see if you can find the topic if the United States allows a country to be crushed in an illegal Invasion it will raise grave questions about the credibility of defense and strategic agreements that underpin the entire Western World so allows a country to be crushed by an illegal Invasion he's talking about the border right he's talking about our border right because we're being crushed by an illegal Invasion and it would hurt our credibility or defense or strategic agreements now this this is uh Stephan Collison talking about our need to fund Ukraine yeah we need to fund the Border in Ukraine so that we're credible while our own border has people streaming across it he actually said that imagine writing that and you know with no sense of awareness about how that sounds amazing anyway wow so there was a trump ruling that Trump liked in New York City and so I saw Trump saying he was happy about the ruling and so I said oh what is what is this ruling so I went to look for it couldn't find it couldn't find it so I finally I had to ask uh grock to go find me the news about why is Trump happy about some ruling so I found it out so that was one thing that grock did that helped me I couldn't find it in the news it seemed like it would be big news but wasn't on anybody's front page so here's the ruling I guess uh at the moment the judge who is already ruled about Trump's so-called um inflating his assets Etc so he's already ruled that that was fraudulent but then the question is what's the penalty and one of the potential penalties is that Trump would lose all of his business or have to put it in some kind of a trust or something in New York so apparently the judge has decided you know to temporarily halt that so we don't know what happens in the long run but at the moment the judge is not closing down Trump's business in New York is that because it's so obvious that there was no victim of the crime and they would not close down anybody else's business in the same circumstance is it just too embarrassing at this point looks like it well Hunter Biden is in trouble now he's got some charges against him so he's he's got what nine charges mostly for taxes or all for taxes I guess I guess he was writing off uh his hookers and his drugs and his sex clubs and everything else's business and treating things as loans and oh my God it was just a mess so apparently his tax cheating was just epic like it wasn't just a little bit it wasn't n just when he was on drugs he was just a gigantic tax cheat allegedly we'll see if they prove it um but here's what CNN says oh by the way we there's no Farah charges so Farah is a thing that says you have to register as a foreign agent if you're doing work for other countries uh that would have a political impact I guess so he didn't register that way but he was clearly taking money from China and Ukraine Etc so um there's a thought that because the language that we've seen does mention his his work in the other countries and it mentions some specifically that probably there might be some consideration of some further charges later about those not being a registered lobbyist thing but at the moment it's just about his not paying taxes and he spent his money on drugs and escorts and girlfriends luxury hotels rental properties exotic cars clothing and other items yikes um as uh Steven Miller points out on X you have to appreciate that the previous president's son so Trump's son was at a meeting once and it was two-year long news cycle and now we learn that the current president son is basically Patrick baitman and CNN fact Checker CNN's fact Checker is away on leave and the Washington Post fact Checker is on strike so the Biden news comes out when the CNN fact Checker is on on vacation or on leave and the uh and the Washington Post is on strike that's too good that's that is a good post Steven Miller nicely done on on that one so what do you think do you think that the charges against Hunter are a clear indication that the Democrats have flipped on Biden and that they want him to get out of there as soon as possible and he's not going so they're just going to keep the pressure on that's what it looks like to me it looks like Hunter was being protected politically and now they don't want to protect them in fact they want to put pressure on Biden to get out of there I got a feeling uh that's what's happening now I told you I thought Biden was hanging on so he could pardon Hunter but at least some of the charges are California charges am I right so you wouldn't be able to Pardon them on any California charges and these are pretty serious felony charges Delaware you say well I see California listed as the state on these all right uh those are California federal courts oh it's a federal court but in California is that what you're telling me Oh okay correction correction it's say California based but it's a federal court in California all right sorry I got that wrong Federal so all the charges are federal is that is that correct so far all charges are federal well isn't that convenient how convenient the charges against Trump end up being State charges huh huh but the charges against Hunter all are conveniently Federal how about that huh now if he didn't pay his taxes can can we just you know let's just take this to the next level Are you seriously telling me that they're going to charge him federally for not his federal taxes but there's no state that wants to charge him for not paying his state taxes so does do the federal charges cover not paying his state taxes I don't know I have questions about that all right um van Jones as you know uh criticized the ramaswami because said that uh there is something like a replacement Theory happening meaning that the white Americans are being replaced by foreigners and Van Jones said well that's pretty racist sounding thing to say that there's some kind of plan to replace you know white people with brown people and it took all of one day for vake and his team to find a video of Van Jones uh saying this is actually van Jones saying this in 2021 uh the request from the racial Justice left is we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority and like it he says that's a tough request and change is hard so in Van Jones own words he says that the left that's his group very directly wants to get rid of the white majority and wants the white majority to be happy about it he said that he said it directly that's exactly what V is saying that there's a there's an intention it's not just happening accidentally but the people on the left have an intention of replacing white people until they're not in charge anymore according to them yeah now that's about as good a dunk as you can do it it's hard to find a dunk that's this clean where somebody criticized you and then you find in 2021 a video of them saying exactly the thing they criticize you for that's that's a good dunk uh according to City Journal the University of Washington uh for years has been um directly avoiding hiding hiring white candidates and even if they were best qualified they would use a process of making up different qualifications so they could hire someone else that they would basically change the job requirements until it no longer fit the highly qualified person and and something about life experience or something it fit somebody else all right um so they actually have a handbook that's been obtained by the National Association of Scholars that spells out how to exclude candidates of quote undesirable races you know that I don't think this says undesirable races uh this is just somebody else's opinion that it's undesirable or that they think it's undesirable so it's in writing it's in writing yeah how about those air air traffic controllers um apparently the House Republicans are taking action to reverse an Obama administration policy that would lower the lower the the skill requirement for air traffic controllers so they could get more diversity and the the assessment reportedly gives it gives more I don't know if any of this is true this doesn't sound true but maybe but here's the claim that um if you're an applicant for to be an air traic controller and you have a scientific background that they would ding you for it because it might make you sound too white ER Asian if you understood science this is the most racist thing I've ever seen in my life anyway and then they they'll give you extra points if you haven't been employed for 3 years so so they want you not to understand science but also to be somebody who's been unemployable in general for three years I will never fly again I'm not going to fly until those damn planes are flying themselves you can't get me a self flying plane fast enough I mean seriously this is hilariously stupid and but but to their credit the Republicans are trying to fix it now I've got a uh observation that youve seeing more people talk about um do you know I think lot a lot of you do know who is the most discriminated demographic group in the United States and has been for decades the most discriminated group for decades in the United States has been well I asked that question on a poll let me uh update it see what people said so I said what what is what group in America experiences the most direct discrimination so not and then I cheekily said I'm not including women in the survey for obvious reasons do you know what the obvious reasons are that I'm not including women in the survey because it's obviously not them they're obviously not the ones we're most discriminated against so there's no point in putting them in there so my categories were white men black men Asian men and Hispanic men and here's how my followers or at least the ones who saw this uh so 7,800 votes and 82% say white men are the group uh experiences most discrimination next uh is Asian men at 9% black men at seven and Hispanic men at two now do you wonder why Hispanic men are streaming into the country at record levels how about the fact that they experienced the least amount of discrimination including the people who are already here imagine being Hispanic and you're trying to come into the country illegally and you find out not only can you come in illegally but they'll be very polite they'll be very polite to you at the border uh they might give you food and medical care if you need it and then they will uh take you to a place that will provide you food and shelter until you can get established what would you think of America if that was your experience because that's the experience of a whole lot of people right now I would love America like even even though I might be you know in bad situation until I you know can build something and get something going I would love the fact that they embraced me when I walked in illegally how do you not love that that's pretty awesome so yeah it makes sense but why do you think it is that the press and social media and most of the people who don't follow me on social media why would they not answer that white men are the most discriminated class what would cause them not to know that in my opinion there are something like 100 million direct witnesses that this is true white men I'll say it again there are at least 100 million direct eyewitnesses that white men are the most directly discriminated in America a 100 million Witnesses spanning at least 40 years so why do the rest of the country not know this if there are 100 million Witnesses a 100 million Witnesses that's not I don't think that's an exaggeration that might be low like I picked a conservative number it could be 200 million but at least a 100 million direct wises do you know why it's not in the news and we act like we don't know it because the other 250 million people are taking it as their full-time job to make sure that the 100 million don't say it out loud Am I Wrong 250 million people are making godamn sure that the 100 million don't talk because if they do the whole game is lost the whole game is to keep abusing this one class of citizens and make them say they like it do you know who says who agrees with me van Fu and Jones He said it directly in 2021 that you're trying to get white people to like it and that's a hard cell cuz why would they why would they yeah so let me say it again there are a 100 million witnesses to this crime 100 million and there are 250 telling him to sh to stay the shut keep their mouth shut that's why that's why people don't know about it that's the whole story right there now here's what I think I don't know this is true for everybody I think white men are just done you know what that means right we're done rolling over because it didn't work here let me tell you about white men I can't speak for any other group and I probably shouldn't speak for white men but it's an observation you know it's not like a scientific fact but white men very much want to get along we just don't want to make trouble just want to earn my money money take care of the family stay out of trouble and as long as that works we will eat so much as long as I'm making my money taking care of the family you know I get to drink some beer and watch some sports I'm good but once you get to the point where you can't earn money and you can't take care of your family you don't have any reason to keep your mouth shut so you're going to see some free speech like you never expected because people like me are putting our entire lives on the line to make this possible for you you know that right you know I put my life on the line to make this possible for the rest of you to speak maybe a little bit more freely yeah this is not this is not just social media doesn't like you it's not just oh you lost a little money we're putting our lives on the line and it's because we're done we're just done it's time to be honest and you're going to get some honesty that you were not expecting and in the end it will be good in the end it will be good for everybody because we I don't think there's bad intentions anywhere there's no bad intentions uh it's just we've AE for 40 years and now we're done let me say that again white man we ate for 40 years and now we're done so things will be different I don't know exactly how but we're definitely done so just know that all right um Charline the God is one of the guest hosts of The Daily Show I guess they have a a rotating schedule of guest hosts until they can find a permanent one but shamine the God says uh he wants to Biden to deliver The Ultimate Christmas gift and drop out of the race now shaag the god identifies presumably on left Democratic side of things and um so he's he's saying it directly now I think that's uh useful and smart and I would give him credit for being a good citizen and a patriot in this regard I don't know what else he's done but I kind of have a positive opinion of him for this um so here's the interesting thing so uh I looked at some of the other people who were you know on board to maybe guest host and I was thinking who who would maybe not be able to get this job as a guest host on The Daily Show who would be qualified can you think of two people you know who would be totally qualified for the job but could not get it if they applied for it well one would be me would you agree would you agree that I'm both qualified for the job I'm literally a humorist who talks about the news in a humorous Fashion on a live stream s days a week that's pretty qualified right I have a long track record of success in professional domains very much like this kind of perfect I've been offered jobs like this yeah years ago ABC Good Morning America offered me a job to you know be an on-air commentator so I think I'd be qualified but do you think I could get that job in 20 2024 no no do you know who else would never get hired for that job here's the funny one I I saved the funny one John Stewart John Stewart do you think John Stewart could get a job on The Daily Show in 2024 I doubt it so uh John Stewart how you feeling now all right um Glen and Greenwald continues to be I don't know what the word for it is but he is so useful to America even though he doesn't live here right he is so useful because he's willing to say any damn thing that is unpleasant but you should hear it like I love that about him even when I disagree with him which happens sometimes but he said this this has been the single best week in years for the cause of limiting free expression and free discourse in other words he's saying you know censorship is an alltime high he says anyone who claims they believe in free speech while they cheer the union of hedge fund billionaire and DC politicians to impose speech limits is a fraud so I think what he's talking about if I interpret this correctly is that the people telling the pro Palestinian people to shut up are anti-free speech now are those people making it very very difficult for Jewish students to just enjoy their lives and feel safe and go to college yeah yeah super super uncomfortable and and uh I don't know what you do about that and still maintain free speech so it looks like the colleges are probably going to prefer um keeping the keeping the um student safe I think in the long run and that probably means limiting Free Speech are you in favor of that because the problem is that one person's um incitement to violence is another person's ordinary talking so and I think I think Glenn made this point that when to to Jewish and American ears some of the things that the Palestinian supporters say sound kind of like kill them all and it sounds like that to me but his argument would be that they're not thinking at that way and therefore we're misinterpreting to some extent I think it would be more fair to say some of them are definitely thinking of it that way but others might not so what do you do with that right that's a tough one so let me State again I'm 100% in favor of Israel's response to October 7th 100% I think everything they've done so far looks right to me in the sense that we would have done the same thing so I don't judge anybody who does exactly what I would have done in the same situ situation how can I so I'm 100% in favor of everything they've done so far um and that and and I take myself out of the conversation for everything that happened before October 7th right so I'm not endorsing Israel I'm not condemning them I'm not interested I'm just not interested that's that's their business they can work it out but if you're asking me about October 7th yeah if that happens to your country you're going to respond exactly the way Israel is if you're smart and you have the ability to do it but that said there there is some uh impact on Free Speech that's happening right now and I'm glad that Glenn Greenwald is calling it out so I'm going to give him a little bit of support on this while saying that I hate seeing the pictures of the the Palestinians who seem to be horrifying the Jewish students I don't see the benefit to it I don't like it I hate everything about it but you know what when black lives matter was protesting I was a little uncomfortable with that but except for the violent Parts I still support it when the uh when the racists the Nazis are getting their little group together of 12 people that's all they can ever muster these days and the 12 people say terrible things I still favor their free speech don't agree with their message so I'm on the greenw side I think that we're chipping away at Free Speech because we are too invested in protecting one side now that's not a bad impulse I kind of like the fact that we're invested in protecting parts of our public so it's a tough one you almost can't have free speech and also protect the public the way it should be protected so it's going to be a tough one so I guess Israel is using seawater to flood those tunnels over there in Gaza now and we saw some videos that show a bunch of prisoners that came out of the tunnels rather than drowned and some people are calling it a success way too early it looked like I don't know maybe 40 people they captured in one video that's not anywhere near the number that are down there so we don't know if it's working and we don't know if it's going to destroy the um the big risk if you didn't know this is that because it's underground stuff if you bump a bunch of sea water in there it's going to pollute the aquafer which is freshwater so Gaza depends on drilling into the freshwater um that will be polluted by maybe the salt water so it's possible that the freshwater supply for Gaza is gone forever gone forever right right cuz if you get the sea water in there you can't really get it out it's it becomes unusable now maybe there's some desalinization you know way to get around that but uh that's a pretty big secondary effect and I would add this to my watch list of signals that suggest that Israel doesn't want it ever to be resettled now I'm not going to make that as an accusation I'm going to say I speculate that at least one possibility that would work for Israel is that nobody ever lives there again and removing the fresh water would certainly go a long way toward making that happen so it could be they're getting a TW fur out of this but I don't want to I don't want to accuse them of having that intention it might just be what what ends up happening but if you're looking for the intention this would be one thing that would be consistent with it but not proof of it and I have to say if it were me I might want to leave it uninhabited otherwise you just recreate the problem um let's see um so secretary blinkin says that uh the Ukraine situation was more of a winwin than we realize because 90% of the money that we quote sent to Ukraine was actually spent on American um military contractors and and manufacturers do you first of all do you believe that because I I thought we were paying the pensions of politicians and we're feeding people and paying salaries of stuff do you believe that 90% of it went right back to American Producers and if it's true does does that make you feel good or bad if it's true then I would say it's a really high signal that it's a unnecessary war and that we're doing it for the benefit of the people who got the money have you ever heard of follow the money as in follow the money explains everything you see all the time every time right if you follow the money in this one a bunch of money came out of your pocket you know indirectly cuz we borrowed I suppose it it went right back into the pockets of these military contractors who have you know huge lobbying impact on Congress does that suggest this that this is a war we should be supporting or does it suggest it's the only War we had available to keep the military industrial complex humming along to me it looks like an optional war that we did it just to keep the keep feeding the military industrial complex if Ukraine went away tomorrow do you think we wouldn't find another place to go to war of course we would because we have an entire industry that requires some kind of a brewing hot war or else they can't make as much money yeah so yeah so there are 600,000 dead ukrainians kim.com was saying this you got over 600,000 dead ukrainians and blinkin stands up there and says it looks like a win-win scenario because Ukraine lost you know probably more than a million people I'm sure and what we got was some good income he actually said that I mean I'm paraphrasing it but he actually said it was a win-win that Ukraine is winning by somehow losing their entire you know young base that's a hell of a win I don't know all right ladies and gentlemen that concludes my comments the best you've ever seen I guess I was a little more honest than I was expecting today let's keep an eye on grock see if it uh improves I think it'll be rapidly improving I wouldn't um I wouldn't think too hard about its current flaws I think it's you know early release wanted to get it out there get some comments um I think we're probably 2 months away from grock just blowing your mind but we'll see um yeah all right You.

Tube thanks for joining and I will talk to you later tomorrow probably you're awesome

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization at

least until a big old

asteroid destroys Humanity but that's

not going to happen right away until

that happens would you like to take your

experience up to levels that nobody can

even understand sure you do you would

love that and all you need for that is a

cup or mug or a glass a tankered shell

or sty and a canteen jug or flask of

vegetable of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine H the day is called the

simultaneous sip happens now

go ah you've been

culated it's a siy

slope you take one sip you'll be back

back every day sipping every day you

can't even you can't even help yourself

yeah it's a sippery

slope you've been syneti I just stole

that joke you've been sypno all right

let's talk about all the things because

there are lots lots of interesting news

today in science and politics and racism

and War and all that stuff so these are

a few of my favorite things all right

grock is here that's the the AI that

Elon Musk has promised you it's now

rolled out to Premium Plus users I guess

be Bay extra so I've got my

copy uh and I will give you my review of

grock the new AI number one um it's

maybe 3.5 GP level in other words if

you've used GPT

4.0 this will this will look a little

primitive compared to

that doesn't have the features and bells

and whistles yet but one assumes that

we're

probably you know maybe one month away

from parody because the parody happens

pretty quickly so I wouldn't judge it

yet um I would call it

beta it feels kind of beta test like

they're going to collect a lot of

opinions and let me tell you some of the

things that we've learned so far uh

number one you get really really tired

of it's joking after about the third

interaction the first time it it it gets

kind of uh let's say friendly because

it's based on kind of a model where it

jokes with you and and it's always sort

of

non-serious yeah you you're you're going

to want to turn that off right

away so it took me about a minute before

I asked it to turn that off it's like

okay that that was fun almost once but

not really because it doesn't it doesn't

quite feel like a personality it still

feels like a

machine pretending to be somebody else's

personality so it doesn't it doesn't hit

you as oh it's a person or anything like

that but it might someday it might so

the other issue is that it lies and oh

my God does it lie like about some

serious stuff

so I wouldn't use it for any fact

checking yet I'd kind of wait on that um

for example I asked her if had read my

books I told her who I am and it

understood that I'm the dilber

cartoonist guy so it knows who I am and

it knows the name of my books and I

asked him if it had read any and said

not only they had read my books but had

Incorporated some of my writing

techniques into its

answers in other words according to

grock uh I was already part of its

DNA but it's a

liar when I first saw that I thought

what

seriously it it has some part of my

personality in it because it read my

book and Incorporated it into its

personality that's what it told

me but it turns this is the sort of

things that tells you just because it

you might want to hear it right if you

query it it it rapidly becomes clear it

has not read any of my books and in

other occasions I can ask it about my

books and it won't know they exist or to

list some but not others right so the so

at the moment the results are closer to

random than anything that you could use

with

confidence um here's another example of

that I saw Shawn Davis thought to ask

this question first he asked if his uh

content was being throttled on X and

then grock said yes it

was so sha Davis finds out from grock

apparently that his own his own data is

being throttled so I said to myself whoa

I'm going to try this so I try it too

and it says the same thing I mean

different words but it tells me that I'm

definitely being uh that I'm that I've

been labeled as sensitive content and

throttled so grock told me that my

account was labeled sensitive content by

a and throttled but here's the

thing it's not

true do you know why I know it's not

true there's no way grock has access to

that

information grock doesn't know who's

throttled there's no way it knows

that Am I Wrong does anybody want to

take a bet I will bet you a large sum of

money that grock does not have access to

its its own internal not its own but X's

internal

algorithms there's no way it has access

to that no way does anybody believe it

has access to that

information or or that it can determine

it in some other pattern recognition way

I don't know here's what I do think is

possible on

YouTube what people call censorship is

actually an intelligent pairing of

advertising content with the type of

content that would not be offensive to

advertisers now when you when you make

provocative content as I do that feels

like

censorship but when YouTube's business

people will explain it to you which they

did to me they they personally explained

it to me um it actually just sounds like

business because why would they have to

pair my provocative content with their

advertisers if the advertisers

specifically ask for it not to happen

which is what does happen on YouTube the

advertisers say don't don't parir us

with this bad content so then they just

do it it's just a business decision so

that's one of the reasons I'm not really

really hard on YouTube for any

censorship of provocative stuff uh it's

just unpleasant things to put with

advertising it's just not a good pair so

I get that so X is also an advertising

model at the

moment uh less so because of

subscriptions but still an advertising

model and would it surprise you if shows

that are always about news which is

about death and destruction and all that

stuff

uh would it surprise you if x had a

internal rule that had advertisers like

this content about kittens more than

they like content about

war that wouldn't be too surprising you

know what

honestly as long as X said that's what

they were

doing I wouldn't have a terrible problem

with it actually now there would be the

question of people who pay the higher

price to have no

advertisements so I would hope if I'm

being prevented from you know

interacting with anybody because of

advertising if that's happening I don't

know that that's happening but if it's

happening uh as long as it's only

limited to people who see ads that's not

so bad right so if you paid to not see

ads shouldn't you have full access to my

provocative material I would say yes so

because is one of those half you know

partly subscription and partly you know

wild Advertising based I I wouldn't have

the biggest problem in the world if they

throttled me on the advertiser part of

their business I mean I would prefer

they didn't but if it's just a business

decision I don't know as long as the UN

as long as the people paying to not see

ads are not throttled that's not

terrible to me that would be just

everybody getting something closer to

what they

want all

right um let's check in on uh threads

you know meta has this competitive

product um apparently Mark Zuckerberg

posted on it yesterday which is big news

because he hasn't posted on his own

product in three

weeks Ian miles John uh noted that and

I'm thinking to myself yeah that's

pretty much all you need to know about

threads Elon Musk is on on X all day

long and it definitely makes the product

better CU you know he's just there you

just feel his personality all the time

uh yeah I think threads is dead I

haven't even thought to check my threads

account which I do have I haven't

checked

it

in two

months haven't even had the slightest

interest it it's interesting why some

things interest you and others don't but

I'm pretty sure that I don't like

threads because there's no provocation

on it it was

too just too uh ordinary there's just

nothing

there all right uh Tesla um gave for

free the technical guides to the new 48

volt technology gave it to their

competitors so Tesla gave their probably

one of the most key important new

technologies it's a some upgraded way to

handle their uh their electricity in

their vehicles 48 volt uh technology I

guess most of it had been 12vt but

they're going to 48 volt for some kind

of major advantages so they actually

gave the technology for free to Ford and

other companies that make electric cars

now put on your business hat

smart smart or not smart to give away

this proprietary advanced technology to

your competitions smart yeah now this

only makes sense because they have such

a dominant

position if you're if you have a

dominant position and you're pretty

confident you can keep it then you want

everybody to build out the industry so

that they're building Chargers that you

can use you know in the perfect world

Ford would make a charging station that

a Tesla can use that's going to be way

better for Tesla users

than for Ford users I mean it's probably

going to work both ways you know Tesla

has opened up to other other cars

charging so yes having some kind of

voluntary standards for some of this

stuff probably makes the

industry better I mean just knowing how

to do a better

technology and probably makes gas cars

last less long you know if the net

effect of all this is that well let me

I'm a perfect example I am currently in

the sort of General stage of looking for

a new vehicle right and so I've got to

make the choice of electric versus

non-electric

car I was sure that by the time I made

this Choice it would be an easy choice I

thought that by the time I had to get

another vehicle you know so several

years ago I got a gas vehicle and I

thought that my next vehicle would be

electric for sure if not fully

self-driving

but now and then I look at it I think

you know

what yeah you know what is my biggest

psychological block and maybe this is

useful for

Tesla I have this issue where if

somebody doesn't personally show me how

to use a Tesla charging station I will

never buy a Tesla does anybody have that

and this is a defect it's a defect in my

personality if a human doesn't drive me

there in their own Tesla while I'm in

the while I'm in the passenger seat and

say watch how easy this is you know you

just wait in this line you plug this in

here and you just see here for 20

minutes if nobody shows it to me in

person I'm never going to buy that

car do you know why and again

this is purely irrational this is this

is a defect in me so you don't have to

say you don't have to say what's wrong

with you

Scott you can just acknowledge that I

say this is a defect it's the same

reason I don't use um car washes at gas

stations I wrote about this because if I

don't know exactly how to use the car

wash the one you drive through yourself

I'm afraid that I'll get stuck in the

car wash and they'll they'll have to

like dismantle the entire car wash to

get me out and it'll be on the front

page of the news cartoonist drives car

backwards into car wash idiot doesn't

know the first thing about washing car s

so obvious they should have gone in

forward how did he think it should go in

backwards what was he thinking dumbest

cartoonist in the world no wonder he was

gazell like that's what goes through my

mind and I have the same feeling about

the car the car charging station I feel

like I would get in the wrong line as if

there are wrong lines I don't even know

if there are is there right line in the

wrong line I would get in the wrong line

I'd get to the front find out that I had

the wrong nozzle for charging my car but

I'd be trapped there so there wouldn't

be a way to turn around and everybody

behind me would be honking at me and

laughing now nothing like that's going

to happen right where it's not a nozzle

I know but it's funnier to say nozzle

nozzle is just a funny word can you

agree with me on that nozzle is a funny

word that's

all so I do use it out a context cuz

it's funny word so why don't you get

your nozzle out of my business see it

works in every context will you keep

your nozzle out of my business yeah it's

a great word you should use it anyway so

if I were Tesla I would make a little

video that shows somebody pulling up and

very easily charging their car and then

showing how many charging stations there

are in my area so I can say oh I'm never

going to run out and also also what do

you do when you run out of electricity

I'm guessing there's somebody like a

Tesla person with a truck who drives up

and charges your car for

you you don't tow it right just some

Tesla facility of some kind comes and

charges you up right now those are the

things I don't

know and if I saw a if I saw really just

a 30 second video 30 seconds is all I

need drive up take it out stick it in

you're good here's all the charging

stations if you run in a charge here's

the truck that comes and get you like 30

seconds and I'd be all good

psychologically but psychologically I

can't get past that barrier does anybody

else have this I'm just trying to find

out how unusual I am does anybody else

have the same thing I'm talking about

okay bunch of yeses on locals there's

lots of

yeses now here's another industry where

I have the same problem two here's two

two other businesses that I would uh

have the same problem number one if you

had never gotten a professional massage

and you didn't know somebody to talk to

who did it all the time would you sign

up for

one I wouldn't I would never sign up for

a professional massage if I'd never

talked in person to somebody who did it

a lot and really could walk you through

you know what's what's awkward and

what's normal and

you know how much of your clothes do you

take off and where do they touch you and

do you talk to them how do you tip like

all that it would just be too awkward I

wouldn't do it now luckily I've passed

through that barrier here's another one

I would love to take a yoga

class now I I did a little yoga in

college in the class once and I liked it

here's why I don't go I do I do I need

to bring like my own little mat and what

happens if I'm if I don't understand all

the language like everybody else in the

class what happens if they say all right

downward dog and I'm like I don't know

what that is do I just watch is that

enough will they tease me if I can't

keep up what happens if I can't keep up

all right so I just have a bunch of

questions right and it prevents me from

ever signing up for a class plus I never

have them in the afternoon when I'm

available but that's another thing all

right there's this uh big box that's

your doctor now you can walk into a big

box uh and they put the big boxes they

call them pods but it's just a big box

and it'll be in a mall they've got a few

they're being they're actually these are

real these are being rolled out now so

there's one uh let's see it's called

carepod and so do it-yourself health

clinic in a

box um and you walk into one of these

carepods and it might be in your mall or

some central place but it could be just

like a kiosk in a mall

and you could go in and it will scan

your whole body you apparently you could

just stand up like a like an airport

scanner and just scans you doesn't that

seem

dangerous how in the world can they St

scan you when you just standing there if

you go to an MRI you've got to you've

got to do all these you know and you

can't have like infinite x-rays that's

so I I don't know how any of that works

but they also have a way you can draw

your own blood for a blood

test now don't you wonder how that works

I thought how in the world do they have

a robot that like puts a needle in turns

out there's no

needle they can draw blood without a

needle did you know that they apparently

this is existing technology they put a

little suction uh Cup on your arm or

wherever you put it and it just

sucks uh and it can't get much blood cuz

it's sucking through through and there's

no wound there's no hole it just starts

sucking it directly under of your arm

and if it sucks hard enough it can get

blood so it takes about four minutes but

it will just suck the blood right out of

your arm like a

leech Isn't that cool it's kind of

cool um but anyway so and that's not all

it can do it can do a bunch of things

check your heart uh

Etc so I'm pretty sure and then then

there are doctors that you can call for

tella health so you can get a doctor on

video to work with your other issues

very good all right that should take a

dent of uh see I think where we're going

on

inflation is we'll get to the point

where the normal things we have to do

are much

cheaper um you know I harp on this all

the time but I think the the process of

getting food from a farm into your mouth

is so so amazingly inefficient because

of all the transportation and rules and

everything that eventually you're going

to have a little food growing operation

connected to your house so your own food

costs will be you know maybe 20% of what

they would have been

otherwise but also this these advances

in health care I think you're going to

make Health Care

20% of what it could be I think people

will still pay for the full service one

if they can afford it but there'll be a

whole bunch of people who go for the one

that's 20% of the cost and gets you

almost as good you know maybe 95% is

good as a expensive full service Model A

lot of people are going to take that

especially younger people nuclear energy

is still surging at least in interest if

not building 20 plus countries have

signed a declaration to Triple nuclear

capacity

so nuclear is now

fully absolved of all this bad

reputation you know I'll tell you I I

feel great

satisfaction that I was one of a number

of people who for the last seven years

or so have been just hammering the

reframing for nuclear just hammering it

it's like okay if you want if you want

green if you don't want climate change

you're going to have to wake up on

nuclear energy it's much safer than it

used to be ET

so it looks like that message um you

know Michael shellenberger and you know

a lot of other people

uh are the primary drivers of that and

so congratulations to

them there's there's a new AI product

that can translate you into 130 or more

languages but uh a a video of you so you

already know the AI can listen to you

speaking and then dub in a different

language but your lips would not yet and

Mark let's say shout out to Mark

Schneider uh for his work on nuclear

framing uh especially Mark and anyway so

you know that AI could already translate

you almost instantly but your your lips

would not match up with the words

however there's a new product that

actually will sink your lips on the

video in other words it will reanimate

your mouth so it matches the language

that you

choose now that's

cool that's

cool now that I keep waiting for stuff

that's genuinely useful because AI I

always tease AI because it looks like

demo Weare it's like stuff that is

demonstrating what it might be able to

do later but it can't do now and it's

just so frustrating look at what it

almost can do but can I do it now no but

almost and now can I do it now yes you

can do it now well why don't I know how

to do it well you'd have to be trained

well how long would it take to train few

days and in two days would it be the

same AI that I trained on no no that'll

be totally replaced in two

days so here's a uh I don't know if

anybody has mentioned this before

so I'll put my own name on it the Adams

rule of AI

training in this case trading the human

to use the

AI have you told yourself hey I should

spend a day learning how to use this AI

I told you that in the beginning you

know when AI first broke I said oh you

should just you should take a week and

just like hunger down and learn

everything about it because it's going

to be everywhere totally wrong totally

wrong you know why nothing stayed the

same in one

week you would become kind of a little

expert but everything you learned that

week would be completely useless one

week later for example uh and by the way

I'm a little bit proud that I predicted

this and I'll need some confirmation

because I might have predicted it in my

head I don't know if I predicted it out

loud but here's what I

predicted that these so-called super

prompts

would not be useful in the long run in

other words the AI would keep changing

so that using the exact right way to ask

the question would become obsolete so

quickly because it wouldn't work on the

next version that there would be almost

no point in having super promps that has

happened right so Brian relli is H

talking about this and what to do about

it because he's he consults with tech

companies about AI and provided lots of

super prompts that he had tested to know

that these are good prompts but he gives

all his clients the super prompts and

then they AI upgrades and they

break and how would you know what to do

for the next version you couldn't know

so you can't know if your old super

prompt works anymore because maybe

you're just using it as opposed to

testing it every time you use it so

they're already pre-tested but not

against the AI that's going to be there

next week

so whatever this rule is that you can't

learn it as fast as it changes and makes

your learning um useless has that ever

happened before is this the first time

in history that the rate a human could

learn a thing is too slow to use the

thing because the thing will never be

the same thing you

learned now I'll tell you the first time

I learned

this because this happened to me in my

career once I used have a job in a

laboratory in the phone company one of

my first jobs uh to test brand new

equipment like new new types of phones

to see if it would work with our digital

products especially and so we would get

all these new new products you know AT&T

would make a new phone or whatever and

we plug it in and it would take us you

know a few weeks to test it all and

everything and then I would write up a

report so that the customers could know

whether to buy this equipment and

whether or not it would work with theone

phone company CU I didn't want to buy

equipment unless the phone company was

compatible and things were changing

quickly so I would you know take me a

few weeks to test things get them in put

out my report and do you know what would

happen by the time my report went out

every

time the the hardware that I tested had

a firmware upgrade in the

meantime what good was my

test the test the test had no value

at the moment it was the moment it was

published had no value because without

the the software or firmware of that

product you've tested nothing because we

know it physically connects like I

wasn't testing to see if the plug goes

into the hole I was seeing if the

software and the firmware know what to

do once it's plugged in so no you could

not test it wasn't possible to to test

fast enough that it would be

useful so we ended up just waiting it

basically well self-flying airplanes are

coming uh the FAA has approved an

uncrewed flight test so a remote

controlled not even remote controlled

it's flying on its own but it would have

humans who could sort of monitor it from

a

distance but um having been at one point

married to a pilot um I learned a little

bit about the the flying business you

know from just osmosis being near it and

one of the things I learned is that

learning to fly is so unnecessarily

complicated that it couldn't possibly

last in other words there's no way in 50

years that a pilot is going to have to

learn how to fly by uh

instruments there's no way the the AI is

just going to fly it if it's cloudy

that's it the GPS is going to tell you

where to go and when you get near the

airport the airport the airport will

talk to the uh flood talk to the plane

you know automatically as well as human

if they need to and the plane will know

everything it needs it will know what

the traffic is in the air it will know

what's on the ground it will know what's

coming toward it it will know all the

conditions and if it hits like a wind

shear on the way in it will adjust with

AI way faster than a human could way

faster if if uh who was it JFK Jr if he

had AI he wouldn't have died because he

didn't know how to fly with

instruments the instruments would have

just have taken over because what would

be what would be the easiest thing for

AI to do in an airplane the easiest

thing is to fly

straight there's nothing easier than

that right fly straight and the reason

that somebody like JFK genu would die in

the crash is that you lose your

orientation in the clouds you actually

don't know what's up and what's down

like you know you yeah you get vertigo

so if you just push the AI button and

say can you take over till we get out of

these clouds you know fly me out of the

clouds you would never have a crash

because somebody couldn't fly by

instruments and the and the total amount

of processing you probably have to add

to a flight to make it fully AI is

probably the size your

phone right there's no weight added that

the airplane doesn't have any extra

burden it would just be smarter so there

is no way that people are going to be

learning to fly the way they do now if

there are even human Pilots at

all that so everything in aviation is

going to change drastically very

quickly all right um I've got a

prediction that the advertising model of

uh the news and the advertising model of

the big social media platforms cannot

survive

AI have you reached the same conclusion

that you can't have ai at the same time

as you have an advertising model that

they cannot coexist you all know that

right I'll give you the reason but have

you have you reached that conclusion on

your own

yet that's a big change here's why uh as

also bride relli teaches us we're all

going to have our own

AI the the AIS that we're using like you

know grock and chat GPT or cloud-based

you know you're you're typing at home

but the Computing is happening somewhere

in the internet well we already have and

apparently it's trivially easy

technologically to run an AI That's your

own AI That's only on your devices and

nobody else can see it or play with it

and it knows you you can teach it about

yourself

and you can train it to do just stuff

you want it to do what's the first thing

you're going to

do if I get my you know good general

purpose AI That's local the first thing

I'm going to do is say uh go to

CNN download all their videos remove the

advertisements edit them so they're

Tighter and faster speed them up to

1.4 speed and then present them to me on

a page

why wouldn't I do that do you think AI

can't download a video or Sunday

download a video strip out the ads cuz

Who would know what an advertisement is

and then present it to you in a tighter

form of course again why would you ever

watch it with the ad what would ever

make you go to CNN's website again if if

something could simply click there and

download it for you and I would tell my

AI to do that for me before I wake up so

I'd come in and morning and I'd see a

page that was you know curated just for

me with no

ads now who would not do that because at

some point you'll be able to say um

duplicate Scott's system and if I

allowed you to know what that was your

AI would just go find me duplicate the

system give it to you and then you'd

have

it all right can AI embed ads yeah I

guess it could AI could embed ads too it

could go the other way but I think the

ad model can survive and which also

tells me that X might be the surviving

platform in the long

run because um in the long run I think X

might move to more subscriber and it

should I think the other ones will be

trying to catch up well the Washington

Post strike is

hilarious um so it turns out that the

owner is this uh rich white guy and the

Washington Post has been hiring uh

people who really don't like rich white

men do you think Bezos has saw that

coming so there's a video by the

strikers in which there's uh you know

lots of images of the strikers talking

so one at a time their face would appear

and then they say why they're striking

how many white men do you think were in

that group it's most mostly

women I I don't know if it was mostly

women who wanted to talk on camera but

they seem to be a female organization

primarily based on the videos the

strikers look overwhelmingly female but

also overwhelmingly people of

color so um it looks like they're being

eaten alive by their own their own

policies in a

sense

and uh who was it that mocked them for

writing uh articles about how great

biomics are while complaining that they

need a raise because of

inflation so the same publication that's

been telling you the economy is great

it's your imagination if you think

otherwise they're striking because I

can't pay the

rent but uh who was it who said damn it

I should have G credit to this

but their one of one of their demands is

they want to spend less time in the

office office so they want to have a

guaranteed two days per week remote and

one month a year that they can be

anywhere which is pretty pretty

aggressive bargaining but the way I read

it is that uh they're striking to spend

less time in the office with Phil

bump is that too

far I know if it were me I'd strike so I

could spend less time around Phil

bump okay he's my Nemesis so I I like to

tease I I tease Phil bump and if you

think that is 23 in me uh indicates that

he's

82%

thumb well that's not true that's not

true all right uh big problems for ramas

Swami and

Christie uh apparently to get in the

next poll you've got to be polling over

10% and in in the last several average

of polls and they're not so both Rama

Swami and christe don't look like

they're going to be in the next debate

the way things look based on current

polling

but

um Haley Nikki Haley and

uh uh and Governor dentus will be

there now why do you think that Nikki

hilly it's just because she's a woman

right I I'm pretty sure it's not because

her policies are lighting anybody up

yeah I think it's just she's a woman and

by the way that's

fine that's not a problem if

women if women or men want to have a a

woman in the

job I know it's about time you know as

much as I rail against wokeness I was

actually happy we finally had a black

president and I would be happy when we

finally get a female president I'd like

it to be a you know qualified person of

course but I feel like I feel like the

country is better off if you if you just

sort of cross those things off the list

just so we don't have to talk about it

again would wouldn't you like it if the

next time a major female candidate is

within Striking Distance that we don't

have to talk about her

genitalia wouldn't that be good to just

just get it off the conversation list

how about how about a woman can be

president

how about being black does not prevent

you from being president okay can we

move on are we done with that now can we

just move to something

else well let's see you Biden doing more

racist stuff um so see how quickly you

can determine how racist this is right

there's nothing that sounds racist but

see how quickly you can identify it CU

now you're you're tuned to it all right

there's a story that says uh the Biden

Administration it wants to help hundreds

of thousands of households to realize

their dream of home ownership so they're

going to uh uh increase the supply of

affordable homes by essentially paying

people money so they can afford to buy

home so the government is going to help

people by affordable

homes all people do you think what what

kind of people does that mean like all

citizens right like every kind of

Citizen if you don't have enough money

no no I didn't even have to read the

article and I I I I disavowed it for

being racist in public and said I didn't

read

it I did that was that was that

embarrassing to me to disavow it for

being racist without seeing anything

racist about it because I didn't even

read the details no because later after

I posted that it was racist I looked at

it and of course it is of course it is

that it's primarily to increase home

ownership

among groups that traditionally don't

have as much home ownership what does

that mean not white men

basically yeah it's just a purely

overtly obviously unambiguously racist

use of my tax

money and and the argument is that uh

white people had assets you know from

their past that they're building on so

it's way easy to own a way easier to own

a home if you come from you know parents

who also owned a home

Etc well my parents owned a

home but they didn't give any of that

to

me in fact they died with more of my

money in their estate than they had of

their own money I think

so why do I have to pay

for somebody Brown to buy a house with

my money when I got no benefits from it

whatsoever I had no benefits from you

know uh

assets but

anyway anyway so super

racist we'll talk about all the things

you're waiting for in a

moment um here's a lesson on how not to

do math in public so Ian

Bremer uh posts on

a list of all the things that are going

right in the

economy and then he made this mistake

which I caution you not to make never

use this sentence about your statements

on social media unless you're really

sure you're

right so he so he shows a graph that

shows a whole bunch of things that are

going well in the country that people

don't know are going well on

economics and then he said says just

going to leave this

here now just going to leave this here

is a strong statement that says this is

so right that you can't even argue it

and by the way I don't even have to

explain to you why this is so right it's

so obviously clearly unambiguously right

I'm just going to leave this right here

and just walk away I rest my

case now again I say you got to make

sure that you're right when you do that

one

so uh Fox News business host uh Charles

Payne uh did the work for

me because I would have done it I would

have done it but he did the work for me

and he says I'm sick of media mocking

folks about their

struggles meaning about their economic

situation one year parameter is a trap

and disingenuous yes there it is he

looked at a one-ear

period in which things are going well

because things were going so poorly

before that it's the classic way to

mislead the public the classic way to

mislead the public is to give them a

cherry-picked uh set of things so that's

the first problem so I'm sorry Ian they

left out is there a gigantic debt

problem that's going to destroy the

country like the most important thing

about the economy yeah or can you can

you can you food uh gas and groceries as

well as you

could I mean the basic questions you

should have been asking were not

included in his in his little list that

he he just said he's just going to leave

here but to his credit Charles Pay would

have none of that and quickly noticed it

was a one-year period which is no way to

look at anything and that you know all

add that it leaves out some categories

of course yeah and then Charles Payne

after dun on uh Ian Bremer finishes with

I'm just going to leave it

here so let me say this um if you don't

follow Ian Bremer you should because on

geopolitical stuff very good very good

on geopolitical stuff a good follow

however and this is not this is not an

insult this is not an insult Charles

Payne is a business guy right so his

his background his models his frame of

thinking his business so when he looked

at this he immediately could identify

the problem with it because he has that

frame if you're if you're not a business

guy all day long you could be forgiven

for not noticing something was missing

right but you know I'm a business guy

business school background I could see

it immediately Charles Payne business

guy could see it immediately so it does

make a difference if you have those

backgrounds all right so I guess the

University of Penn president one of the

three who refused to as clearly as she

might have uh denounce uh well you know

the whole Hamas situation um but now the

University of Pennsylvania they're uh

they got some kind of a uh board they're

asking her to

resign should she

resign what do you think

based on her inadequate public

statements well this is what Bill Amman

said that I thought was a really clever

reframe right here's a reframe think of

the three College professors MIT Harvard

and uh upen and think about their

answers in public to Congress and how

they were smirky and it's kind of

disgusting and Amman asked this question

if those three position positions were

open if there were available you know

available positions does anybody think

that any of those three current

presidents would have even been

considered based on what we know

today no no they wouldn't no so why are

they why are they presidents today this

is Bill amman's frame it's kind of

brilliant why are they presidents if

everybody would agree that if the job

were open they would never be hired

that that seems like an easy decision

doesn't it but we'll

see I think the donors are going to put

too much pressure on on the universities

I think that they probably will be

forced to resign but we'll see so Alex

Jones was on Tucker Carlson and of

course he makes a lot of news let's talk

about that some of the things that we

heard from Alex Jones are that um now

first of all you should know that he's

considered by many on the right

to be practically psychic for his

predictions that have been right on uh

and the one that stands out is that

before 911 I think only months before he

was saying that Bin Laden uh might be uh

let's say framed for something that you

know dark shadowy people do and it might

involve uh flying a jetliner into the

World Trade Center he actually said that

months before for

911 is that

crazy now here's the question is he

psychic is he lucky does he look at

different um Source materials than you

do and therefore he can piece things

together I don't know but I'll tell you

my best

guess I I think he might be brilliant at

pattern

recognition and that the patterns often

are

subtle which is a I don't know if it's

exactly prediction but I guess it would

be yeah I guess it would be prediction

and he talks about the materials he

looked at before he came up with that

prediction so apparently here's things

we knew I'd never heard of been Laden

but if you read certain materials about

you know potential terrorism you would

have heard that name so he knew who bin

Lan was and he calls him an ex CIA

asset all right now I didn't know

that or I don't know about the CIA asset

part but it's something he read now he

we also know that the uh the same

essentially the same group of terrorists

had tried to bomb the World Trade

Center so now you've got the the name of

a terrorist because he was better

informed than the rest of us and and he

was known to be a dangerous one we've

got a Target that they went after

before this seems likely they might try

again

so here's the pattern so now you got a A

person who does this kind of thing you

you can name a Target because it's the

same Target they tried before and I

think they correct me if I'm wrong but

didn't they threaten to do it again what

wasn't there some suggestion they

threaten to do it again right and then

separately separately there had been a

story around that time about a plot to I

guess have the CIA or something uh do a

false flag with a American

airliner now those three things were

roiling around in his head at the same

time now if you're good at pattern

recognition you say to yourself okay

something about Bin Laden his name his

name I keep seeing something about World

Trade Center because they said they

would go after it and they're also

talking about an airline put them

together Airline World Trade Center Bin

Laden

boom is that how he did it

maybe maybe so it could actually be that

he's good at pattern

recognition and that he simply read more

Source materials than you did by the way

that's what he says he he says that's

how he did it maybe that that might be

exactly how he did it now before you go

off and say my God he's right every time

it's amazing I would caution you this if

you don't have a list of all the things

he's ever predicted to know

whether this was like you know an

amazing hit or was it one of a hundred

wild things he said 10 of them happened

90 of them

didn't does that give you a different

impression of what's going on I don't

know now he also has uh one other

characteristic which probably serves him

well he assumes the worst about the

government now I hate I hate to say it

but if you you just want to look

psychic just predict that the government

is lying about everything they say and

you will look like a genius in five

years am I right so part of his trick is

he just always assumes the government's

up to no good and that turns out to be a

pretty good assumption yeah not always

but pretty

good so I don't know how to judge his

accuracy but he's got some uh some

genuine hits there that can't be

ignored he also said that Joe Biden that

he knows that Joe Biden walks around the

White House naked at night and is all

drugged

up and then he and Tucker agreed because

Tucker apparently has confirmed

information that uh Biden's on

amphetamines and that they they pump

them up with amphetamines just before

public

appearances but then he's basically a a

blithering idiot all the rest of the

time does that sound

right I would say it not only sounds

right I feel like it's

obvious don't you think it's kind of

obvious that he's drugged up when they

Trot him out in

public yeah to to me I'd say if this

isn't true I'd be really surprised

really really

surprised

yeah so at what point do you get your

president drug test

would it be reasonable to ask because I

don't believe the when the White House

doctor does a um an

exam aren't they supposed to tell us if

the president's on

drugs is that not part of what the

public should know because what would be

the point of saying oh this person is

healthy if we don't know they're on

cocaine or

something do you think think

amphetamines have no impact on your

decision-

making yeah do do you know what uh Isis

is given to go into battle and Hamas

Fighters are given to go into battle

amphetamines do you know why they give

them

amphetamines because it makes them do

Brave and Reckless

things it makes them do Brave and

Reckless things in other words they

shouldn't have been brave about it they

should have not done it

all how do you like knowing that your uh

your head of your military who's

involved in one hot war and you know

well I guess he's involved in two hot

Wars although not with soldiers yet how

do you like the fact that that's the guy

who might be taking a drug almost

certainly is taking a drug that

guaranteed could you make you more uh

let's say confident and therefore more

prone to

risk what do you think I feel like we

need to know that and if we don't know

it that should be uh grounds for

impeachment that's what I

think um there's a story that uh this is

how Tucker Carlson is framing it that uh

that the Biden Administration is openly

threatening that if we don't fund

Ukraine uh that our our sons will be

sent to die

now I'm not sure that's exactly the way

it was framed but it's pretty close it's

pretty close here's what actually

happened so secret defense secretary

Lloyd Austin told some members of the

House in a closed briefing that if they

don't appropriate more money for um for

Ukraine uh will'll end up sending your

uncles and cousins and Sons to fight in

Russia now it's not exactly a threat

it's more like a worst case scenario

like if we don't do this we might be

forced to do this other thing that we

also don't want to

do but it does come across as a

threat even if that's not the intention

he's using it literally to

negotiate if you're using the risk of

sending your children to die as your

negotiating

lever well that is sort of blackmail

that is sort of blackmail isn't it it's

it's right on the

line I mean I guess you could say it's

somewhat transparent except that it was

closed door meeting I think which is not

so transparent I'd feel less bad if he

said it in public because at least you

we all see exactly what's going

on but if he's using that as a method to

threaten uh lawmakers behind closed

doors that's pretty not

cool all right

um

uh Nikki H's uh campaign has an adviser

that's already calling V ramas Swami's

uh destruction of her during the uh

debate as

misogynist let me give you some advice

Nikki Hy if you're running as a

Republican and a woman and somebody

criticizes you and your attack through

at least through your proxies and I

think she said it before is that it's

misogyny you're no

Republican how in the world does she

have enough support to make it into the

next I mean that's that's as unrean as

you could

be she's literally saying that her like

her I mean well I don't even have to say

more do I do I have to say more about

that there's what else is there to say

you could not be less qualified if

that's the best you got the best you got

is oh I'm a woman and I'm superior

because I'm a woman what she said she

actually actually says she's Superior

cuz she's a woman and that also anybody

who has a criticism of her policies is a

misogynist you Nikki hilly you

I do not want you anywhere

near the Oval Office because we don't

need a sexist in the office right we

don't need somebody who's an obvious

misandrist sexist woke artist

money

spending

piece of

well that's just my opinion all

right

um let's

see so see if you could recognize what

this uh topic

is um I'll I'll read a quote and this is

comes out of a larger piece but see if

you can find the topic if the United

States allows a country to be crushed in

an illegal Invasion it will raise grave

questions about the credibility of

defense and strategic agreements that

underpin the entire Western World so

allows a country to be crushed by an

illegal

Invasion he's talking about the border

right he's talking about our border

right because we're being crushed by an

illegal Invasion and it would hurt our

credibility or defense or strategic

agreements now this this is uh Stephan

Collison talking about our need to fund

Ukraine yeah we need to fund the Border

in

Ukraine so that we're credible while our

own border has people streaming across

it he actually said

that imagine writing

that and you know with no sense of

awareness about how that sounds amazing

anyway wow so there was a trump ruling

that Trump liked in New York City and so

I saw Trump saying he was happy about

the ruling and so I said oh what is what

is this ruling so I went to look for it

couldn't find it couldn't find it so I

finally I had to ask uh grock to go find

me the news about why is Trump happy

about some ruling so I found it out so

that was one thing that grock did that

helped me I couldn't find it in the news

it seemed like it would be big news but

wasn't on anybody's front page so here's

the ruling I guess uh at the moment the

judge who is already ruled about Trump's

so-called um inflating his assets Etc so

he's already ruled that that was

fraudulent but then the question is

what's the penalty and one of the

potential penalties is that Trump would

lose all of his business or have to put

it in some kind of a trust or something

in New York so apparently the judge has

decided you know to temporarily halt

that so we don't know what happens in

the long run but at the moment the judge

is not closing down Trump's business in

New

York is that

because it's so obvious that there was

no victim of the crime and they would

not close down anybody else's business

in the same circumstance is it just too

embarrassing at this point looks like

it well Hunter Biden is in trouble now

he's got some charges against him so

he's he's got what nine charges mostly

for taxes or all for taxes I guess I

guess he was writing off uh his hookers

and his drugs and

his sex clubs and everything else's

business and treating things as loans

and oh my God it was just a mess so

apparently his tax cheating was just

epic like it wasn't just a little bit it

wasn't n just when he was on drugs he

was just a gigantic tax cheat allegedly

we'll see if they prove

it

um but here's what CNN

says oh by the way we there's no Farah

charges so Farah is a thing that says

you have to register as a foreign agent

if you're doing work for other countries

uh that would have a political impact I

guess

so he didn't register that way but he

was clearly taking money from China and

Ukraine Etc so um there's a thought that

because the language that we've seen

does mention his his work in the other

countries and it mentions some

specifically that probably there might

be some consideration of some further

charges later about those not being a

registered lobbyist thing but at the

moment it's just about his not paying

taxes

and he spent his money on drugs and

escorts and girlfriends luxury hotels

rental properties exotic cars clothing

and other items

yikes um as uh Steven Miller points out

on X you have to appreciate that the

previous president's son so Trump's son

was at a meeting once and it was

two-year long news cycle and now we

learn that the current president son is

basically Patrick baitman and CNN fact

Checker CNN's fact Checker is away on

leave and the Washington Post fact

Checker is on

strike so the Biden news comes out when

the CNN fact Checker is on on vacation

or on leave and the uh and the

Washington Post is on

strike that's too good that's that is a

good post Steven Miller nicely done on

on that

one so what do you think do you think

that the charges against Hunter are a

clear indication that the Democrats have

flipped on Biden and that they want him

to get out of there as soon as possible

and he's not going so they're just going

to keep the pressure on that's what it

looks like to me it looks like Hunter

was being protected

politically and now they don't want to

protect them in fact they want to put

pressure on Biden to get out of there I

got a

feeling uh that's what's happening now I

told you I thought Biden was hanging on

so he could pardon Hunter but at least

some of the charges are California

charges am I right so you wouldn't be

able to Pardon them on any California

charges and these are pretty serious

felony

charges Delaware you say well I see

California listed as the state on

these all right uh those are California

federal courts oh it's a federal court

but in

California is that what you're telling

me Oh okay correction correction it's

say California based but it's a federal

court in California all right sorry I

got that wrong Federal so all the

charges are federal is that is that

correct so far all charges are federal

well isn't that convenient how

convenient the charges against Trump end

up being State charges huh huh but the

charges against Hunter all are

conveniently Federal how about that

huh now if he didn't pay his

taxes can can we just you know let's

just take this to the next level Are you

seriously telling me that they're going

to charge him federally for not his

federal taxes but there's no

state that wants to charge him for not

paying his state

taxes

so does do the federal charges cover not

paying his state

taxes I don't know I have questions

about

that all right

um van Jones as you

know uh criticized the ramaswami because

said that uh there is something like a

replacement Theory happening meaning

that the white Americans are being

replaced by

foreigners and Van Jones said well

that's pretty racist sounding thing to

say that there's some kind of plan to

replace you know white people with brown

people and it took all of one day for

vake and his team to find a video of Van

Jones

uh saying this is actually van Jones

saying this in 2021 uh the request from

the racial Justice left is we want the

white majority to go from being a

majority to being a minority and like it

he says that's a tough request and

change is

hard so in Van Jones own words he says

that the left that's his group very

directly wants to get rid of the white

majority and wants the white majority to

be happy about

it he said that he said it directly

that's exactly what V is saying that

there's a there's an intention it's not

just happening

accidentally but the people on the left

have an intention of replacing white

people until they're not in charge

anymore according to them

yeah now that's about as good a dunk as

you can

do it it's hard to find a dunk that's

this clean where somebody criticized you

and then you find in 2021 a video of

them saying exactly the thing they

criticize you for that's that's a good

dunk uh according to City Journal the

University of Washington uh for years

has been um directly avoiding hiding

hiring white candidates and even if they

were best qualified they would use a

process of making up different

qualifications so they could hire

someone else that they would basically

change the job requirements until it no

longer fit the highly qualified person

and and something about life experience

or something it fit somebody

else all right um so they actually have

a handbook that's been obtained by the

National Association of Scholars that

spells out how to exclude candidates of

quote undesirable

races you know that I don't think this

says undesirable races uh this is just

somebody else's opinion that it's

undesirable or that they think it's

undesirable

so it's in writing it's in

writing yeah how about those air air

traffic

controllers

um apparently the House Republicans are

taking action to reverse an Obama

administration

policy that would lower the lower the

the skill requirement for air traffic

controllers so they could get more

diversity and the the assessment

reportedly

gives it gives

more I don't know if any of this is true

this doesn't sound true but maybe but

here's the claim that um if you're an

applicant for to be an air traic

controller and you have a scientific

background that they would ding you for

it because it might make you sound too

white ER Asian if you understood

science this is the most racist thing

I've ever seen in my

life anyway and then they they'll give

you extra points if you haven't been

employed for 3

years so so they want you not to

understand science but also to be

somebody who's been unemployable in

general for three

years I will never fly

again I'm not going to fly until those

damn planes are flying themselves you

can't get me a self flying plane fast

enough I mean seriously this is

hilariously stupid and but but to their

credit the Republicans are trying to fix

it

now I've got a uh observation that youve

seeing more people talk about um do you

know I think lot a lot of you do know

who is the most discriminated

demographic group in the United States

and has been for decades the most

discriminated group for decades in the

United States has been well I asked that

question on a

poll let me uh update it see what people

said so I said what what is what group

in America experiences the most direct

discrimination so

not and then I cheekily said I'm not

including women in the survey for

obvious reasons do you know what the

obvious reasons are that I'm not

including women in the

survey because it's obviously not them

they're obviously not the ones we're

most discriminated against so there's no

point in putting them in there so my

categories were white men black men

Asian men and Hispanic men and here's

how my followers or at least the ones

who saw this uh so 7,800 votes and 82%

say white men are the group uh

experiences most discrimination next uh

is Asian men at 9% black men at seven

and Hispanic men at

two now do you wonder why Hispanic men

are streaming into the country at record

levels how about the fact that they

experienced the least amount of

discrimination including the people who

are already

here imagine being Hispanic and you're

trying to come into the country

illegally and you find out not only can

you come in illegally but they'll be

very polite they'll be very polite to

you at the

border uh they might give you food and

medical care if you need

it and then they will uh take you to a

place that will provide you food and

shelter until you can get

established what would you think of

America if that was your experience

because that's the experience of a whole

lot of people right

now I would love America like even even

though I might be you know in bad

situation until I you know can build

something and get something going I

would love the fact that they embraced

me when I walked in illegally how do you

not love that that's pretty awesome so

yeah it makes

sense but why do you think it is that

the press and social media and most of

the people who don't follow me on social

media why would they not answer that

white men are the most discriminated

class what would cause them not to know

that

in my opinion there are something like

100 million direct witnesses that this

is

true white men I'll say it again there

are at least 100 million direct

eyewitnesses that white men are the most

directly discriminated in America a 100

million Witnesses spanning at least 40

years so why do the rest of the country

not know this

if there are 100 million Witnesses a 100

million Witnesses that's not I don't

think that's an exaggeration that might

be low like I picked a conservative

number it could be 200 million but at

least a 100 million direct wises do you

know why it's not in the news and we act

like we don't know

it because the other 250 million

people are taking it as their full-time

job to make sure that the 100

million don't say it out loud

Am I Wrong 250 million people are making

godamn sure that the 100 million don't

talk because if they do the whole game

is lost the whole game is to keep

abusing this one class of citizens and

make them say they like it do you know

who says who agrees with me van Fu and

Jones He said it directly in 2021 that

you're trying to get white people to

like it and that's a hard cell cuz why

would they

why would

they yeah so let me say it again there

are a 100 million witnesses to this

crime 100 million and there are 250

telling him to sh to

stay the shut keep their mouth shut

that's why that's why people don't know

about it that's the whole story right

there now here's what I

think I don't know this is true for

everybody I think white men are just

done you know what that means

right we're done rolling

over because it didn't

work here let me tell you about white

men I can't speak for any other group

and I probably shouldn't speak for white

men but it's an observation you know

it's not like a scientific fact but

white men very much want to get along we

just don't want to make trouble just

want to earn my money money take care of

the family stay out of trouble and as

long as that works we will eat so much

as long as I'm making my money

taking care of the family you know I get

to drink some beer and watch some

sports I'm

good but once you get to the point where

you can't earn money and you can't take

care of your

family you don't have any reason to keep

your mouth

shut so you're going to see some free

speech like you never

expected because people like me are

putting our entire lives on the line to

make this possible for you you know that

right you know I put my life on the

line to make this possible for

the rest of you to speak maybe a little

bit more freely yeah this is not this is

not just social media doesn't like you

it's not just oh you lost a little money

we're putting our lives on the

line and it's because we're

done we're just

done it's time to be

honest and you're going to get some

honesty that you were not

expecting and in the end it will be good

in the end it will be good for everybody

because we I don't think there's bad

intentions anywhere there's no bad

intentions uh it's just we've AE

for 40 years and now we're

done let me say that again

white man we ate for 40

years and now we're done so things will

be different I don't know exactly how

but we're definitely done so just know

that all

right

um Charline the God is one of the guest

hosts of The Daily Show I guess they

have a a rotating schedule of guest

hosts until they can find a permanent

one but shamine the God says uh he wants

to Biden to deliver The Ultimate

Christmas gift and drop out of the race

now shaag the god identifies presumably

on left Democratic side of

things and

um so he's he's saying it directly now I

think

that's uh useful and smart and I would

give him credit for being a good citizen

and a patriot in this regard I don't

know what else he's done but I kind of

have a positive opinion of him for this

um so here's the interesting

thing so uh I looked at some of the

other people who were you know on board

to maybe guest host and I was thinking

who who would maybe not be able to get

this job as a guest host on The Daily

Show who would be

qualified can you think of two people

you know who would be totally qualified

for the job but could not get it if they

applied for

it well one would be me would you agree

would you agree that I'm both qualified

for the

job I'm literally a humorist who talks

about the news in a humorous Fashion on

a live stream s days a

week that's pretty qualified right I

have a long track record of success in

professional domains very much like this

kind of perfect I've been offered jobs

like this yeah years ago

ABC Good Morning America offered me a

job to you know be an on-air

commentator so I think I'd be qualified

but do you think I could get that job in

20 2024 no no do you know who else would

never get hired for that

job here's the funny one I I saved the

funny one John Stewart John

Stewart do you think John Stewart could

get a job on The Daily Show in

2024 I doubt

it so uh John

Stewart how you feeling

now all right um Glen and Greenwald

continues to be I don't know what the

word for it is

but he is so

useful to America even though he doesn't

live here right he is so useful because

he's willing to say any damn thing that

is unpleasant but you should hear it

like I love that about him even when I

disagree with him which happens

sometimes but he said this this has been

the single best week in years for the

cause of limiting free expression and

free discourse in other words he's

saying you know censorship is an alltime

high he says anyone who claims they

believe in free speech while they cheer

the union of hedge fund billionaire and

DC politicians to impose speech limits

is a

fraud so I think what he's talking about

if I interpret this correctly is that

the people telling the pro Palestinian

people to shut up are anti-free

speech now are those people making it

very very difficult for Jewish students

to just enjoy their lives and feel safe

and go to college yeah yeah super super

uncomfortable and and uh I don't know

what you do about that and still

maintain free

speech so it looks like the colleges are

probably going to prefer um keeping the

keeping the um student safe I think in

the long run and that probably means

limiting Free

Speech are you in favor of

that because the problem is that one

person's

um incitement to violence is another

person's ordinary

talking so and I think I think Glenn

made this point that when to to Jewish

and American ears some of the things

that the Palestinian supporters say

sound kind of like kill them

all and it sounds like that to me but

his argument would be that they're not

thinking at that way and therefore we're

misinterpreting to some extent I think

it would be more fair to say

some of them are definitely thinking of

it that way but others might not so what

do you do with

that right that's a tough

one

so let me State again I'm 100% in favor

of Israel's response to October 7th 100%

I think everything they've done so far

looks right to me in the sense that we

would have done the same thing so I

don't judge anybody who does exactly

what I would have done in the same situ

situation how can I so I'm 100% in favor

of everything they've done so

far um and that and and I take myself

out of the conversation for everything

that happened before October 7th right

so I'm not endorsing Israel I'm not

condemning them I'm not interested I'm

just not interested that's that's their

business they can work it out but if

you're asking me about October 7th yeah

if that happens to your country you're

going to respond exactly the way Israel

is if you're smart and you have the

ability to do it but that

said there there is some uh impact on

Free Speech that's happening right now

and I'm glad that Glenn Greenwald is

calling it out so I'm going to give him

a little bit of support on this while

saying

that I hate seeing the pictures of the

the Palestinians who seem to be

horrifying the Jewish students

I don't see the benefit to it I don't

like it I hate everything about it but

you know what when black lives matter

was protesting I was a little

uncomfortable with

that but except for the violent Parts I

still support it when the uh when the

racists the Nazis are getting their

little group together of 12 people

that's all they can ever muster these

days and the 12 people say terrible

things I still favor their free speech

don't agree with their message so I'm on

the greenw side I think that we're

chipping away at Free Speech because we

are too invested

in protecting one side now that's not a

bad impulse I kind of like the fact that

we're invested in protecting parts of

our

public so it's a tough one you almost

can't have free speech and also protect

the public the way it should be

protected so it's going to be a tough

one

so I guess Israel is using seawater to

flood those tunnels over there in Gaza

now and we saw some videos that show a

bunch of

prisoners that came out of the tunnels

rather than drowned and some people are

calling it a success way too

early it looked like I don't know maybe

40 people they captured in one video

that's not anywhere near the number that

are down there so we don't know if it's

working and we don't know if it's going

to destroy the um the big risk if you

didn't know this is that because it's

underground stuff if you bump a bunch of

sea water in there it's going to pollute

the aquafer which is freshwater so Gaza

depends on drilling into the freshwater

um that will be polluted by maybe the

salt water so it's

possible that the freshwater supply for

Gaza is gone

forever gone forever right right cuz if

you get the sea water in there you can't

really get it out it's it becomes

unusable now maybe there's some

desalinization you know way to get

around that but uh that's a pretty big

secondary effect and I would add this to

my watch list of signals that suggest

that Israel doesn't want it ever to be

resettled now I'm not going to make that

as an accusation I'm going to say I

speculate that at least one possibility

that would work for Israel is that

nobody ever lives there again and

removing the fresh water would certainly

go a long way toward making that

happen

so it could be they're getting a TW fur

out of this but I don't want to I don't

want to accuse them of having that

intention it might just be what what

ends up happening but if you're looking

for the

intention this would be one thing that

would be consistent with it but not

proof of it

and I have to say if it were me I might

want to leave it

uninhabited otherwise you just recreate

the

problem

um let's see

um so secretary

blinkin says that uh the Ukraine

situation was more of a winwin than we

realize because 90% of the money that we

quote sent to Ukraine was actually spent

on American um military contractors and

and

manufacturers do you first of all do you

believe that because I I thought we were

paying the pensions of politicians and

we're feeding people and paying salaries

of stuff do you believe that 90% of it

went right back to American

Producers and if it's true does does

that make you feel good or bad if it's

true then I would say it's a really high

signal that it's a unnecessary war and

that we're doing it for the benefit of

the people who got the money have you

ever heard of follow the

money as in follow the money explains

everything you see all the time every

time right if you follow the money in

this one a bunch of money came out of

your pocket you know indirectly cuz we

borrowed I suppose

it it went right back into the pockets

of these military

contractors who have you know huge

lobbying impact on

Congress does that suggest this that

this is a war we should be supporting or

does it suggest it's the only War we had

available to keep the military

industrial complex humming

along to me it looks like an optional

war that we did it just to keep the keep

feeding the military industrial complex

if Ukraine went away tomorrow do you

think we wouldn't find another place to

go to war of course we would because we

have an entire industry that requires

some kind of a brewing hot war or else

they can't make as much money

yeah

so yeah so there are 600,000 dead

ukrainians kim.com was saying this you

got over 600,000 dead ukrainians

and blinkin stands up there and says it

looks like a win-win

scenario because Ukraine lost you know

probably more than a million people I'm

sure and what we got was some good

income he actually said that I mean I'm

paraphrasing it but he actually said it

was a

win-win that Ukraine is winning by

somehow losing their entire you know

young

base that's a hell of a

win I don't know all right ladies and

gentlemen that concludes my comments the

best you've ever

seen I guess I was a little more honest

than I was expecting today let's keep an

eye on grock see if it uh improves I

think it'll be rapidly improving I

wouldn't

um I wouldn't think too hard about its

current flaws I think it's you know

early release wanted to get it out there

get some comments um I think we're

probably 2 months away from grock just

blowing your mind but we'll

see

um yeah all right YouTube thanks for

joining and I will talk to you later

tomorrow probably you're awesome
