Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you're lucky to be here. It's going to be one of the best ones you've ever seen. If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only SpaceX will ever experience, well I'm here to tell you there's a way. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice or stein, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Oh, that's perfect. That's perfect. I'd say that's a good sign that things are going to go well in this show. But you'll be able to tell by the very first story. Do you ever turn on a movie or a TV show and you're positive you can tell if you will like that TV or movie in the first 30 seconds? You all do that, right? It's like 30 seconds and you know if you want to watch that show. Well, probably the same with me.

Our first story is the actor LeVar Burton, who is Black, which is important to the story and not a racist comment. He was shocked to discover that he's descended from a Confederate soldier. Now, I don't know if he has any slave holders on his side, but I just wonder how much he owes himself in reparations. All right, that's my first joke, but I swear I've got a few seconds left. I can do better. I can do better. Don't leave. Don't leave me. I can do better.

All right, we'll try. Here's some fake science from NBC News on weed. Now, every time you see NBC News as a source of a story, what should your brain say to you to keep you on track? Your brain should say to you, I don't know if this is true, but smart people tell me that NBC News is really just an organ of the CIA. So any message that is in their news, you could imagine I can't confirm this to be true. It's merely an allegation that it's what the government wants you to know, or at least the CIA.

Do you think the government wants you to smoke less weed? Probably. Yeah, probably they do. So now NBC News says that the science, you know, there's more weed smoking than ever. It's at a high level. And they say that it might be linked to certain heart issues. Oh, well, that's pretty serious. It might be linked to certain heart issues. Do you know what else might be linked to certain heart issues? Everything. Everything.

Now, if you saw a story like this, a national story, you would say to yourself, my God, it appears that the studies show that weed is linked to heart disease. But when you read the article, do you think it'll say that? Or will it say the studies are ambiguous? They do not clearly show a link, but there might be a link. It's totally possible.

Do you know what data they will not show you? Here's the data that this article will not show you, nor will any other article on the harms of weed. Here's the only data that matters. What is the mortality and life expectancy rate of regular weed smokers versus those who have never touched it? It's the same. The only time it's ever been studied, it's the same. Actually, weed smokers might live longer a little bit, but not that much.

Now, don't you think that overall mortality would be the simplest thing to measure? You know what? Wouldn't it really jump out if the overall mortality was worse for weed smokers? Wouldn't you notice that? Well, I think you would. And some people argued, but Scott, don't you know that weed smokers have more schizophrenia? They have more like mental problems. To which I say, I don't know. Is that true? How would we know that? Isn't it more likely that people have mental problems are drawn to weed to help them with their mental problems as they see it? Well, I don't know. But I do know that anytime you hear somebody say you should or should not do something because of its cost, you are not dealing with a smart person. Because everything has a cost.

I've got a recommendation for you. Stop eating food. It just makes you fat. Stop eating food. It's taking your money. So if something's going to take your money and make you fat, you should stop doing it. Am I right? Because all you should look at is the negative. Why should you ever look at the positives and then weigh the positives compared to the negatives? No, we don't do that in today's world. No. All we do is pick one side and say that's all you need to know.

If you're for marijuana, you say it's medicinal. But what about the negatives? It's medicinal. Yeah, but there are some negatives. It's medicinal. And then you talk to somebody who's anti-weed and they'll say it causes XYZ problems. Maybe. Yeah, but what about all the obvious medical benefits people get? What about freedom? It causes more schizophrenia, we think, but we're not sure.

So the arguments on marijuana are almost always fake in both directions because both sides will just tell you what's good or what's bad and they won't mention the other side. And so all the weed stories are fake.

Here's more of fake science. It's called the fake science of polling. So the Wall Street Journal looked at a study that said that they talked to a lot of Trump supporters who said, well, we would vote for him if he doesn't get convicted of any crimes. But if he's convicted of a crime, something like, I don't know, a quarter of the people say they won't vote for him. Is that a big problem or a small problem? Go in the comments. Is that real news? Real science? Because the polling is scientific, right?

All right, here's what's wrong with this. People don't vote hypothetically. So the question is, hypothetically, if he's convicted of a crime, how would you vote? That's not anything that's real. Here's what would really happen in the real world. Trump gets convicted of a crime. The 28 percent or whatever it was who said that they would never vote for him if he's convicted of a crime, now the election's coming up. It's in a few days, you know, hypothetically. And it's Biden versus Trump.

So somebody's going to look at Trump being convicted on any one of those charges and they're going to say, you know what? Given that, I'm going to choose Biden. In the real world, you think that's going to happen? But if you ask me in a poll what would I do, there is a good chance I'd say, well, you know, pollster, you called an upstanding citizen who cares about the rule of law, unlike those unwashed heathens out in the rest of the world. I am the kind of person with a strong moral core and ethical behavior is the most important thing for me. So let me tell you, hypothetically, it doesn't matter at all. It's just a way for me to feel good about myself. I would never vote for somebody convicted of a crime. That would never happen. So go write that down. Go write that down because that's true.

All right, here's the real world. In the real world, let's say Trump gets convicted of, I don't know, whatever they're talking about now. I lose track because none of it seems real to me. It all just seems made up. So he gets convicted of something. It doesn't even matter what, as long as it's one of the things he's charged with. So there's nothing new in this example. So he gets convicted of, let's say, any one of the 91 counts. Any one of them.

What does the left-leaning media say about it and what does the right-leaning media say? Well, the left-leaning would say he is disqualified. But the right-leaning media, having really only one chance of controlling the presidency, just Trump, do you think that they would report it as, you know, until that conviction we really thought this Trump might be a viable candidate but now he's not. Now he's not. So probably all you people watching Fox News, you should probably just vote for Biden now because, you know, at least he's not convicted of anything. Is that going to happen? Or is it more likely that the pundits and supporters of Trump will say, you know what? That was a bogus charge with a crime and a conviction in a totally biased court. I'm going to vote for him twice. Which is more likely? It's far more likely he'll get more popular. It's far more likely.

And why is the Wall Street Journal even pretending that this must be some kind of a Nikki Haley play, right? Something to get Nikki Haley slotted in there. Because there's no way anybody's dumb enough to think that if Trump gets convicted on a charge, which are the only ones there are, there aren't any real ones in my opinion, you think people are going to drop Trump because he was abused by the government he's trying to fix? So you want more of the abuse? You're going to vote for more Republicans being hunted and abused? That's never going to happen. There isn't the slightest chance that won't make Trump more popular.

All right, so that's some good fake polling. What's the name of that fake group of white supremacists? What are they called? Stormfront or something? Do I have the name right? Oh, Patriot Front. Why did I say Stormfront? Is that something? Patriot Front. So the Patriot Front, these are the guys who wear their nice khakis and they put on really full masks, the kind of masks, you know, they're covering even the backs of their heads. They don't even want their ears to show. That's how serious they are. So they're out marching again. I don't think there's a single Republican who thinks that's anything but feds. Do any of you believe that's a genuine organization? Even one of you?

Now, here's what I do believe. There probably are real racists in the group, but I don't think they're the organizers. I think they just make sure there's some real ones in there in case they get caught. They can say this one's a real one. All right, so sure, we had a fed or two because that's what we do. We infiltrate. But look, this guy's real. Look at his social media. Total racist. I told you. Aren't you glad we infiltrated this group? Because look at that guy. Just look at him. All racist all over. Yeah, I think it's funny that they're trying all the same tricks that we figured out. I don't think there's any chance they're real. Do you? I actually have reduced the odds of them being a real organization to zero. There was a time when I thought it was, you know, 90-10, 10 percent chance it might be real. You know, you could be wrong about stuff like that. But now I think there's no chance at all. It's actually hilariously fake because as many people said today on social media, if these guys were real, the media would be all over it. The regular media would have uncovered their secret lair. There'd be stories about their leadership, you know, and how the FBI is on their trail and all that stuff. Yeah, the fact that there's no story about their real identities, it's exactly what it looks like.

All right. Military recruitment for white straight males is way down. Like way, way down. Are you surprised? Why would straight white males not want to join the military? Could it be because of all the DEI? Of course it is. I mean, what else would it be? Why would you join an organization that tells you from the start they're going to discriminate against you? Now they would say they don't do that. They would say that they're just trying to get some diversity. But it's all the same in terms of its impact on a straight white man. It's all the same.

Now, I don't mind if people like Mark Cuban pretend that they don't understand why it's bad. He's running a company and you as a leader, he might want to support diversity and that impulse is all good. I like the impulse. So he's, I think he's defending his employees and defending his companies and he's establishing his brand as being very diversity conscious. The way he's doing it is arguing that DEI is good in general, which he's not dumb enough to actually believe. So I'm going to assume the best, which is that he's super smart, super capable. It probably is good for him and his companies to present himself as a DEI supporter. Probably. But anyway, so here's my question about the military. Why would any straight white man join the military when they're being discriminated against? It's the opposite of what you would fight for. This is a country I would fight against, not for. If my country says I'm going to discriminate against people like you, I'm not going to join to fight for you. No, I'm going to fight against you because you just said you're my enemy. That you're going to discriminate against me. No, I'm on the other side. Let's be very clear. You know, I'm all American, but I'm on the other side from you. So no, I'm not going to join your army to fight against people like me, I guess. I don't know.

So what's going to happen here? Here's my provocative statement. Remember I keep saying the same thing over and over in different stories, which is that people like to look at one part of the topic, either just the benefits or just the costs, like the other side doesn't even exist. That's what DEI is. Let me ask you this and watch your head explode. Do you believe there's ever been an academic paper or study that looked at what the effect of DEI would be on straight white males? Do you think that's ever been done? Do you think anybody ever said, you know, if we do this set of things for DEI, we're going to get a bunch of benefits for non-white, non-male people and those benefits would be good for them? Do I agree with that? Absolutely. Yeah, totally. Yeah. If I were a person of color, I'd be all for it because it'd be good for me. And you're allowed to do that, right? In a democracy you're allowed to say I'm in favor of that because it's good for me. That's not unethical. I like it because it's good for me. We can all vote that way. You don't have to. I mean, if you don't, I might respect you even more. But I'm not going to disrespect you if you vote for your own interest in a democracy or semi-democracy.

So I don't think any white man, straight white man, should have anything to do with any organization that has DEI. But here's the thing. You know how some people, the racist people like to say America was built by all these white people? That always bothers me, right? Because obviously a lot of people contributed to building it. The Chinese slaves on the railroad and the black slaves. So a lot of people built America. But you know what else made America? It wasn't the building. That's the part we focus on. You know, the part where the country is founded and then from the founding there's all these great things that great people did to make it the country it is. And that's a good story. It's all true. But here's another way to tell the same story. America wasn't about the building. It was about the leaving. It was about white men, mostly, I mean they took women, but it was about white men saying I'm going to get the hell out of this place because it's not for me and coming to America. Because it wasn't the place they were leaving. That's what we do, right?

So if you want the white straight men to leave, just create a system that guarantees it, which is what we have now. So when I say I'm looking for an alternative to living in America, it's not my first choice. My first choice is to stay right where I am and fix stuff. But I'm not an idiot, right? The pilgrims probably wanted to stay and fix things too. I'll bet the pilgrims gave at least a little thought to try to fix it where they were. They probably complained, right? Didn't work. So in the end, being the straight white men that they probably mostly were, they packed up their women and their children and they said, you know what? Let's just go where we don't have to be bothered by this stuff. So they went to America. But it looks like America is getting spoiled in a similar fashion to the places they originally left. So we should think seriously about leaving America. Not right away. I mean, it's not, we're not at that point. It's definitely worth saving and it looks like corrective forces are in play. I think we'll be fine in the long run. Actually, I have an optimistic view of America. But as advice, I always say diversify your portfolio and always have a backup plan. So I think it's really time for a backup plan for white straight men and the people who like them to find another country. And it turns out that's completely practical or almost through seasteading. So I think seasteading is going to be where straight white men escape, essentially, because they can't go where the majority vote controls their lives because they won't be the majority.

And by the way, I would advise that to anybody. You know, if you're abused and you're in a place where you don't have enough people to vote any improvement, leave. Because if people are voting against you and there's just more of them and it's not going to change, leave. Go somewhere where you can have some control over your life. So I think seasteading will be a thing. Seasteading is where you build a big artificial boat island that's so big a bunch of people live on it.

Now here's what's new. I don't know if you saw it. The big electronic trade show. There's a device it's about the size of an outside air conditioner that can create water out of air. And that's what you need if you're going to be on the ocean because you can't just desalinate very easily. Desalinization is expensive. You could do it but it's expensive. But this thing just picks the water out of the air. There's no salt in it. It can do it all day long. We can also make power using temperature differentials which is perfect for the ocean. It's not great if you're on a moving ship because you'd have to have something that's below the water. That's not good if you're moving. But if you're a city, you can go out there and drop something into the cold deep, put something else above where it's warmer, and it's the temperature differential called a Stirling engine basically that creates electricity. And it's a well-known, very very old technology and very powerful, way more powerful than people imagine it is.

So that device makes 110 gallons of water a day, enough for your family. Just put one next to your place. So now we have, between solar and Stirling engines, you have all the power you need for your seasteading. You got all the fresh water you need with that new technology. I imagine waste could be handled in a good way or a bad way because you're in the ocean. It looks like your food would mostly be right there in the ocean, wouldn't it? Don't you think you'd be able to fish yourself up plenty of protein? And you could probably do some vegetables and stuff that you could grow on there. I think we're at a point, yeah, Kevin Costner was not wrong. I think we're at a point where building your own nation is going to be completely practical. The only thing you'd have to work out is defense.

All right, I've been asked a lot about Rob Reiner, who is often active on X and old Twitter. And he would be very anti-Republican, anti-Trump. And he's doing a series of podcasts on who killed JFK, the JFK assassination. Now the reason that people are curious and say, Scott, what do you think about this, is because smart people believe that Rob Reiner has a CIA connection and that his political activism might be more related to our intelligence agencies than just his pure singular opinion. Now I don't know that. No way to prove it. But we do know that Rob Reiner has lots of CIA friends because he just said it yesterday. I just watched a video where he was describing who was he talking to. I forget. He was talking to one of the podcasts and he actually said he knows a lot of CIA people. And I think Mike Benz also found that he heads an organization that has a number of past CIA leaders. You know, I think Clapper is actually in the organization that Rob Reiner organizes. So we know he has personal connections in the intel world. And we know that he's blaming the CIA for the murder of JFK along with the mafia.

So his take is that it's a little more complicated than the normal way the story is told, but that basically there were elements in the CIA who worked with elements in the mafia. The mafia was mad that they got kicked out of Cuba. So the mafia wanted Kennedy to make good with Cuba so they could go back and get their casinos and their business back. So the mafia didn't like Kennedy's, I don't know if Rob Reiner mentions it, but you know when Bobby Kennedy went after the mafia that probably seemed like some kind of a betrayal. So they had Cuba to hate him for, the mafia, and they had the fact that he was going after the mafia to hate him for. So the mafia certainly didn't love Kennedy. I feel that's obvious and easy to say.

But the question is why, if it's true that as people say that Rob Reiner has some intel connection and that he might be in a propaganda role more than just telling you his personal opinion, why would he throw the CIA under the bus? That doesn't make sense, does it? Can you explain that? Why would he go hard at the CIA blaming them for killing Kennedy if he's working with them and on their side? How can you explain that? Well, easily as it turns out. Again, I don't know what he's thinking or who he's working with or what. But let me tell you what he said, the parts we do know. What he said was it wasn't the CIA as an order from the top. It was rather rogue right-wing elements of the CIA. So the CIA leadership, no problem. They weren't involved. But rogue right-wing elements of the CIA. What does that remind you of? The rogue right-wing elements. Does it sound a lot like the military looking for the white supremacists in the military? Oh it does, doesn't it? Yeah. Because then the military can be good but the white supremacists, those damn Republicans as they might say, well they're bad. If you just get rid of them you'd be in good shape. And it seems that Rob Reiner would like us to believe something similar like that is happening with the CIA. Oh the CIA is not totally clean. Yeah, no he's not saying that. They're not totally clean. But if you could only get rid of those right-wing elements it might be. So do you think he's throwing the CIA under the bus or is he giving them cover and throwing Republicans under the bus? To me it looks like he's making a case: CIA good unless they're Republicans and right-wingers. It's all good except for those right-wingers. So we got to get rid of them. Yeah, that's what I think. So if Reiner is trying to look exactly like a CIA asset, he's pulling it off perfectly.

Somebody says that John Cusack falls into that category and I would say Cusack might be a little more complicated. He might be a little more complicated. Yeah. So I don't know what his deal is.

All right. Sam Altman apparently is looking to create a network of factories to make AI-related chips in the United States. Now you might know that we can't have China or some other country control our AI chips because those will be the most valuable ones probably. But the United States has not been super good at building chip factories for reasons I don't know. So now Sam Altman in my opinion is putting together a portfolio that could make him as rich as Elon Musk because he's going to have investments in AI which will be the biggest thing. He has long had investments in fusion which if it ever comes online will make AI and robots and everything far more practical. And if he builds a chip factory he's going to own the AI chips. And the fusion would be the power to power all this. You know, I love how Elon Musk companies always seem to have something in common or they work with the others. You know, the Starlink seems to work really well with cars and spaceships. If you've got AI it's going to work with all those things. If you can manufacture anything it's, you know. So it feels like Musk's businesses have all these, I hate to say synergies, but it's the word. Nobody's come up with a better word for it yet so I'll just say it. You know as a creator of Dilbert I hate to say synergies because I mock that word all the time. But that's what it is. But if you do it right it's actually a good idea.

Well, a bunch of states, 33 states, are going to sue Meta, the Facebook parent company, for its damage to children's mental health. They say quote Meta has harnessed powerful and unprecedented technologies to entice, engage and ultimately ensnare youth and teens. Its motive is profit, blah blah blah blah. Kids and teenagers are suffering from record levels of poor mental health. You think this is going to work? I don't know. You know I always say insurance is the only thing that predicts. So if Meta wins the suit then I guess there's no insurance implication. But what if this science showed that young kids are actually injured? And what if some enterprising lawyers find a way to tie any one kid's suicide or mental health problem to the platform? You know, sort of like cigarettes tied to smoking. Will any lawyer be able to tie mental health of children or any bad outcomes to the platforms? And if they tied it to more than one platform would it still work? You know, could they say well it's not one platform. It's a combination of TikTok plus this. And would that still work? I don't know. I'd keep an eye on the insurance angle to see what kids will be able to do. Because I feel like an adult would not be able to sue so well because they kind of know what they're getting into. Whereas, you know, much like cigarettes you can't really sue a cigarette company for giving you cancer because it says that it gives you cancer right on the package. You know, so adults know what they're getting when they do social media. Kids don't. So you can imagine that maybe you could sue on behalf of a kid where it'd be harder on behalf of a parent who was more aware of the real situation. So I think it's all going to come down to insurance companies.

All right. So Senator Fetterman, Democrat, continues to rack up topics which Republicans like. So I made a list of the ones I know of. Tell me if I left one out. So Fetterman is very anti-Menendez, the senator who is accused of bad bribery behavior. And Menendez is a prominent Democrat. So just the fact that another prominent Democrat, Fetterman, is against him and very against him, like he's it's like a main topic, gives you some comfort that even as a Democrat he's willing to police his own side. He's against people in Congress being able to trade stocks. Makes sense to me. He is against defunding the police. Makes sense to me. He's pro-Israel. So am I. And he's really against the people chanting from the river to the sea. So he's got what I would consider all smart opinions on this stuff. He's anti-open borders. On the climate, do you think he's a climate alarmist? Not so much. He says you need to balance the climate with our other threats on national security. Meaning maybe you ought to use a little coal and a little bit of oil because otherwise we're all screwed. Perfectly sensible. He even supports fracking in his state but not the fracking industry at large. Pretty reasonable. I don't know what his exact complaint is about the industry but he's not against the technology and he's not against using it in his state. And he said directly he's no longer progressive. He just likes to be called a Democrat.

So what exactly is left? What topics does Fetterman favor that a Republican wouldn't? I think he's pro Second Amendment but he would be more restrictive than others or not. What kind? Well I'd like to just know more about his situation. Don't buy it Scott, it's a swing state. Oh well yes. Let's say this. Let me say this about their swing state. He's I think a perfect Democrat for Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania is not like super progressive I would say. Even I would go further and I would say that you know I grew up in Upstate New York. No, Upstate New York is not exactly Pennsylvania. They're a little different but not a lot. You know if you grew up in Upstate New York you probably have some sensibility about what a Pennsylvania person thinks, right? It's not that different. And Fetterman seems very Pennsylvania to me. He could work in Upstate New York too, you know, even though that's more Republican or it used to be.

All right, so he's just an interesting story. I like to keep an eye on him. It's funny that a Democrat can make news by not being crazy. Oh there's another Upstate New Yorker is agreeing with me about the Pennsylvania similarity. Yeah.

So End Wokeness, one of the fun accounts on X, says it's going to cost, this is according to a 2023 estimate, the cost for the illegal immigrant population or migrant population is 451 billion just for one year. So America is paying 451 billion to make sure that the migrants are safe and taken care of. Relative to that, End Wokeness says it would cost 15 billion to build a wall to keep them out. So we're paying 451 billion to take care of somebody, the people that we could have kept a lot of them out for. I don't think it's 15. I think it's closer to 25 and that means it's closer to 50. But it's not close to 451. I mean if money is what matters, apparently it isn't, then walls are pretty good investments.

All right. Kamala Harris is apparently going to be the leading face for abortion. So that will be her job in the coming election year, to talk about abortion. And you know I usually say a lot of bad things about Kamala Harris but this might be the perfect job. Because think about how this goes over with Republicans. The Republicans are going to look at Kamala saying hey, more abortions, and they're going to say to themselves, okay, but you know in my family we wouldn't have an abortion whether it was legal or not. So it doesn't really affect my family because we Republicans are just going to have the baby if we get in that situation. So really the abortion question is mostly whether the Democrats can do it. You know it's a generality but it's more about whether the Democrats can do it because Republicans, even though they do have abortions of course, they're more likely to say well we would just have the baby because we don't like abortions. But Kamala Harris is saying, and I'm going to sort of characterize her, she's saying to Republicans that if abortion is legal there will be less of me. That's right. Because Republicans presumably wouldn't care one way or the other because they're not having the abortions anyway on average. Whereas the Democrats want to have them. And the face of can we kill our babies is Kamala Harris. And I look at Kamala Harris and I say so you want permission to kill your baby who would grow up to be like you? Okay, I don't want to think that the baby would necessarily be exactly like the parent. You know you can't blame the parent. Can't blame a baby for something the parent's doing. So it wouldn't be a fair thing. On the other hand my subconscious is telling me I do want less of you. Not for racial reasons, not for gender reasons, for political reasons only. So it's a weird sales thing where it's weirdly effective because the Republicans, the only ones who have to be convinced, are looking at it and go okay that's a pretty good argument. You probably do need less of you. One fetus at a time.

All right. Lloyd Austin. The news is reporting that Lloyd Austin the Defense Secretary is back to work. But I have a question. How can we be sure? Did he tell anybody? That's all I had on that. That's all I had. I have nothing else to say about that. Did he tell anybody? Or did he, I feel like it's a George Costanza situation where he just sort of shows up at work after he quit and people just sort of notice he's there. I feel like, did somebody see Lloyd? I feel like he's working. Did he mention it to anybody? Does anybody know? Anyway.

Has DeSantis backed down from the race yet? Some people said he was going to do it today. Apparently he canceled some interviews which make people suspicious. And it would be about the right time and people are calling for it. Vivek is calling for it, etc. But do you really think it would happen before New Hampshire? Oh he's in New Hampshire today. I feel like you wouldn't pull out before New Hampshire. That he wouldn't call it because he could at least take some votes away from Nikki Haley. Because shouldn't DeSantis, if he's going to drop out, shouldn't he at least let Trump do the best that Trump can do in New Hampshire by maybe keeping some voters from going from DeSantis to Haley? Or do I have the, is my analysis wrong? Trump would do better with him in the race, right? Or do I have that backwards? Would anybody say the opposite? That Trump would be better off with him in or out? 34 minute glitch. Yeah, better with him out. Oh better with him out because his votes would mostly go to Trump not Haley. So okay. I think either way he's going to win New Hampshire so we'll keep an eye on that.

Certainly the DeSantis energy all suggests that he's done. Would you agree? I feel like DeSantis is making no attempt to get like a big publicity hit. I think he's just going through the motions for his, I think he's just paying back his donors by saying well you gave me money I guess I better appear at these events because I haven't quit yet. So I feel sorry for him because I think he's just going through the motions.

There's a Vivek update. Sean Hannity asked him about possibly being a VP in a Trump administration. And because he's smart said quote there's a lot of ways to drive change in the country inside and outside the government. You know my only issue with a Vivek is he might be too qualified for a lot of the jobs that you keep suggesting he should have. I think he's too qualified to be a vice president because they're a little bit wasted in that job. He's also too qualified to be a spokesperson. You know if you think that Vivek's skill is that he's just a good talker I think you're missing the, you buried the lead. He's a good talker because he's insanely smart. It's the insanely smart part we like, not just the good talking. So would he be a good spokesperson? Yeah he'd be the best. He'd be the best there ever was. Is that a good place for him? No, no that would be a place for a good talker, right? Somebody who understands everything well enough to really communicate it well. But if you're strategically brilliant you need to be inside the room not just talking about what happened in the room. So we'll see where he goes.

Are you, how many of you are following this Ireland free speech situation which I was trying to ignore but now it's too big to ignore? So I don't know if I have this right yet because I'm only just wading into it today and I was kind of in a hurry this morning. So here's what I think I understand. So Ireland is considering some legislation that would ban so-called hate speech for anybody who's got an Ireland connection like a business or a citizen. Now you say to yourself well why do we care about that? That's just little Ireland. But it turns out that Ireland, little Ireland, has a lot of the big tech companies over there. So the thinking is that they could put pressure on the tech companies and it wouldn't be easy for them to move out of Ireland because there's quite a big presence there. Now the thought is that it's not really a hate speech issue at all. It's if you can get a hate speech bill passed in one little country then you can just say oh everything those Republicans are saying is hate speech. So you basically just close down the opposition speech. So that's what people worry. I'm reading Michael Shellenberger posts and stuff on this. People worry that the real play, that it's a Trojan horse. It's not about hate speech. It's about stopping the opposition speech and that it would be expanded.

But here's the part I don't get yet. Maybe somebody in the comments can fill me in if there's a quick way to do that. Why wouldn't the tech companies just say okay we're gone? Is it just cost? It'd just be too expensive? Is that the only reason? In taxes. So basically it's, oh so they have a big tax haven over there so it would be prohibitively expensive for them to leave. So it'd be easier for Google to say ah we like free speech but we don't like Republicans either so all right we'll give you what you want. Is that what's going to happen? That would be very dangerous if that's what's going to happen.

All right. And as Michael Shellenberger points out that people think it's an anti-Semitic sort of a conspiracy theory that George Soros is trying to buy influence and control the governments. But then he points out that Alex Soros, who's running the show at the moment, is always being photographed with the top leaders of all the countries. Do you know why anybody takes a picture with a top leader of another country? Do you know what that's all about? Well Michael Shellenberger's take is that it's so Alex Soros can show everybody who he bought. All right, that I'm paraphrasing. He didn't say it that way but the idea is that you're advertising your control over the people. Do you see it that way? So if every time you saw a world leader you saw them smiling too big and acting like they're really really good friends with Alex Soros wouldn't you think well Alex Soros is controlling things because he gives a lot of money to a lot of people and the people he gives money to in the political realm like to take a picture smiling really big so maybe they get more money later. So follow the money works. It does appear that if you look at all the money that Alex Soros is giving to the NGOs and the politicians and the way he's doing it, it does look like he's either the dumbest guy in the world or he's intentionally trying to destroy the world for reasons that are a little unclear. So I'm actually still confused about him. Maybe he's some kind of weird true believer in something but it feels more like he's enjoying the power and the influence. And so if he just keeps giving to people who act a certain way and they act a certain way to him maybe that's all he cares about. I can't believe he thinks he's fixing the world. Like there's no evidence that he's making the world a better place. Do you think that the open borders is entirely one guy Alex Soros? What do you think? Do you think it's entirely one person? No you're saying no. You think it's the World Economic Forum. It's the whole UN. Yeah. Who in the world thinks that massive immigration is going to turn out well? I don't know anybody honest who could think that would work well.

There's a Chinese biolab found in California. Robbie Starbuck was writing about it on X. I don't know what to think of this. So there's this Chinese guy who had a lab with every kind of bad deadly chemical in it or virus and he got caught. And apparently he's actually on record of saying he wants to defeat the American aggressors. So it appears that on the surface there was literally a Chinese biolab by a terrorist who was maybe funded by China who wanted to create a virus and destroy America. I feel like I'm missing something in this story. It's a little too on the nose or something. I don't know. I'm going to put a pin in this one and say it's all scary stuff. Better pay attention to it but I feel like there's more to know. Don't you think? I feel like I don't know. There's a variable missing in that. No Mr. Bond we want you to die. I don't know why we're saying that but somebody's saying it.

All right. If you didn't see the video there was a big UFC fight in Toronto and I guess the chanting was fuck Trudeau. So the UFC fans in Canada are not big fans of the prime minister. But I use this story to remind you that sometimes we think we're in some kind of political opinion difference. I'm not sure that's true. I think it's a testosterone difference. Because if you fill a stadium full of high testosterone people that they praise Trump and they yell at Trudeau, is that always a coincidence? I don't think that's a coincidence. Isn't it literally just the high testosterone people detest Trudeau and love Trump? I think that's all it is. Yeah.

All right. Speaking of testosterone there's a new, let's see I think it was the Wall Street Journal saying that there are more American single men who say they don't have any close friends. So 20 percent of single men say they don't have any close friends. Was that shocking to you? Who is shocked that 20 percent of single men don't have any close ones? Well oh really? Okay. Okay. I thought it would be much higher. I don't think it's 20 percent. I think it's closer to half. What do you think? I think at least half of all men don't have any friends. Yeah, close to half. So I think that's a terrible poll.

My only advice for men who want to have more friends is that it has to come through joint activity. Men don't make friends because somebody was nice at the bar. That doesn't really happen. So somebody chatted with you at the bar and you made friends and then you became friends forever. I've never heard of that. I've heard of people who were roommates who stayed friends but they were roommates for accidental reasons. I've heard of people who played sports together becoming friends. I've heard of people who worked together being friends. You got to do a thing with other guys if you want to be friends. Take up a sport. Join a, you know, work somewhere where there's guys. That's the only thing. It's just activity. Activity. Activity. I'm not even sure Rotary, if you join the Rotary that probably only works if you're getting involved and really doing the work. You know you're not just a member who attends meetings but it could work. Yes.

All right. End Wokeness noted that in Australia they've got a mass migration problem too. 737,000 migrants in 2023. So one out of 36 Australians arrived last year. Wow. But 70 percent of Australians polled wanted less immigration. Only 10 percent wanted more. Is Australia a democracy? They're getting more immigration but 70 percent don't want it. No it's obviously not. Obviously not. And is America a republic with democratic principles? Obviously not. I don't know who's in charge now. When I say that I don't say that like a hyperbole like oh we don't know who's in charge you know conspiracy theory. I mean it literally. I actually don't know. Because there's no evidence that Biden's in charge. If it's not him who is it? I actually don't know. That's legitimately I don't know. I don't think it's Obama. I think Obama gets involved in some political stuff and maybe a few things he cares about. I'm sure he wants a Democrat for president so he might be involved in the campaign. I don't know. I don't know.

So the US, there's a story that the US is getting more involved in trying to blunt the influence of China and Russia in Africa. Because as you know China's aggressive in Africa, building infrastructure, giving them loans and really trying to get economically tight with the African nations to get a big advantage with them in the future. A lot of it has to do with resources because China needs a lot of natural resources and Africa has them. So they figure the more they wrap their economic futures together the more they'll have access to the resources. So let me ask this. How is it working out for China so far? Is China pretty happy they put their money in Africa? Because they built some gleaming facilities that are working out just the way they hoped. As far as I know China has basically wasted immense amounts of resources in Africa and got almost nothing in return. Now not positive that's true. Well the rare minerals might be a valid argument. So I do think they're getting resources. But what I don't think is that they're delighted with the return on their investments. Because America also has seemingly all the rare materials we need. I mean we're building stuff. So China has raw materials like rare earth. We have rare earth. But we didn't spend a gazillion billion dollars in Africa. They got pissed away. So I think it would be a toss-up strategy-wise whether it's smarter to compete with China and try to get as much control of Africa as we can. And I don't know but it was a better use of 10 trillion than our stupid wars. I don't know. I guess the question is is any amount of money that you put into Africa going to work out? Because there's a theoretical amount of corruption that makes it impossible to invest and I think they're below that line. I think they're uninvestable. So if you try to make it investable by investing I don't know if that could get you from here to there. I don't know if that's really a path. So of course Africa will improve like everything improves over time. But if you try to make it improve too fast you might have some issues there. So I'm not sure we should be competing there.

Well let's talk about Israel in the two-state versus one-state solution. So Netanyahu has said directly now that there's no real plan from him anyway for a two-state solution. He wants Israel to control the West Bank and Gaza and that's it. And then you're done. Israel controls it and we're done forever. Now as you might imagine that is very provocative and the Arab world doesn't love it and the Biden administration wants a two-state solution and all the protesters want an end to the violence and for them to work out something that would look like a two-state solution. So what's going to happen? Well things are getting bad there. Well they were always bad but getting worse. The numbers of people killed, civilian, you know I think I won't even say the number because you're just going to say that number came from Hamas that is exaggerated and I'll say yeah you're probably right but it's the only number we have and I told you where it came from and then you'll say but still it's so misleading maybe it'd be better you didn't mention it at all. So I'm not going to mention it at all. So just know that there are claims of immense numbers of wounded and dead civilians and fighters but estimates of how many Hamas fighters they got is more like 20 percent and progress is slowing. So the suggestion is that Hamas is on the border of winning. Because for them not losing is winning. If they lost half of their fighters but stayed in power that's a win, right? Because they would have degraded Israel's reputation in the world. They don't care so much about their own deaths. That'd be a win. So if Israel is really only degraded 20 percent of the actual fighters that doesn't look like they're winning to me. What do you think? Because they're hurting public opinion and they're not getting what they wanted for it which is kill Hamas. So that's not ideal.

But if you have Netanyahu who is against the two-state solution and you've got Biden who wants one and of course we're going to have to get on the same page at some point, what do you do? Well let me give you a lesson in negotiating. If you have a situation which cannot be solved anytime soon your best bet... All right somebody's saying Israel isn't losing like that. I don't want to get into a dumb argument right. So let's see if I can say it in a way that you'll stop saying that. You don't know who's winning and losing because that depends on the final state and that's unknowable. You don't know if Israel will be forced by public opinion to slow down what they're doing which will leave Hamas intact which would definitely be losing. But you also don't know if Israel is just going to ignore public opinion and do whatever they need to do until they do win which they could. It's possible. So you can't say Israel is winning and you can't say Hamas is winning. You can say there's an argument for both situations. Are you okay with that? There's an argument for both but you don't know which way it's going to end. How would you? Well I'm going to give you a prediction based on the only way it could end. When there's only one way it can go it's not hard to predict. Would you agree? I don't think it was hard to predict where Ukraine and Russia would go. They would kill more people until they got tired and they would make some kind of agreement that looks sort of like the borders the way they are now. So you don't have to be a genius if there's literally only one way things can go. I mean you could say well it'll be a nuclear war but not really. It doesn't really look like it could be a nuclear war.

So here's the way I think Israel and Gaza is going to go. The two-state solution people will never give up. Netanyahu will not be able to stay in office and push his one-nation thing. Biden isn't going to say one nation. And here's what's going to happen. There's only one way to solve it. You make a 20-year deal and say here's the deal. We can't just hand it back to Hamas. You understand why. But we'll make a 20-year plan for a two-nation solution. If after 20 years the following security and let's say education of the people in those areas reaches certain criteria at that time we will look into turning you back over to Hamas or not Hamas probably but to the Palestinians to run it. Because after 20 years you've shown us that you can live with us in peace and not be a threat.

Now what would Biden say to that? Oh that's too slow. And then Netanyahu says it's all you're getting. All right we'll try to sell it. So then they can say this is the only plan because you know you can't do it in a day and you know you can't wait 100 years. So we're going to do the only productive thing we can which is to say look 20 years is reasonable because you got to change a lot and it's going to take 20 years especially educating the youth. So if Israel gets control of the curriculum in the schools such that they can actually brainwash the youth and they can reduce the number of terror attacks to whatever level they say is low enough that they're okay with it, at the end of 20 years they will definitely be open to that two-state solution.

Now what will really happen in the real world? First of all it would be hard to say no to that deal if it's the best one you can get. Because Israel is never going to agree to a two-state solution right off the bat. That's just stupid. Like even imagine that's going to be a serious conversation is crazy. But eventually you know they can make a claim that things can change. They can't make a claim that it would work today. That would be crazy. Literally crazy. So when you only have one thing you can do that's probably what's going to happen. So the one thing you can do is say we'll create some series of confidence building steps to get us to where we both would like to be. Because I don't think Israel would hate it if they got out of the business of protecting themselves from their neighbor. It just doesn't seem possible but if it could be done I think they'd like it. I don't think that they lust for extra land, you know expanding in this way. I don't think that's as much as I would like to just not have the problem at all. That's my guess.

So I'm going to predict that there will be a phased kind of approach. And oh yeah maybe the Abraham Accords will be wrapped into that as in you know if you guys can get along for a while then Saudi and Israel get along for a while and maybe help with the rebuilding. You could tie all that stuff together. But the important thing is Israel would have to know that they could say no after 20 years and then they would definitely say no after 20 years because there isn't a chance in the world that the Palestinians will stop their attacks. There's no chance of that, right? And if they poll the public and maybe one of the criteria is polling. Maybe one of the criteria is if we poll you you can't be 80 percent in favor of killing all of the people in Israel because we're not going to give you a state if that's the situation. So you know even though polls can be faked and whatnot they could say you're going to have to get public opinion down to some reasonable level of wanting to kill us before a two-state solution is even something we could take seriously. So yeah that's the only way to go. So therefore it will.

There's talk of a hostage deal. Hamas is saying they'll give back all the hostages if the fighting stops and Hamas can go back in charge of Gaza. That's not gonna happen. So these are all fake offers. So why is Hamas making a fake offer that they know will be turned down? So that it looks like they're negotiating. So it looks like they care about giving back the hostages. Yeah so it's a fake offer and Israel should match it with a fake offer of their own. Oh hey what I'll make you a deal. Can't give you that state right away but if you work with us, keep things safe for 20 years, yeah totally possible.

All right that ladies and gentlemen is the end of my content. Tight and perfect I think for today. I'm going to say bye to the YouTube and Rumble and X viewers. Thanks for watching and we'll see you again tomorrow same place same time. Bye for now.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you're lucky to be here it's going to be one of the best ones you've ever seen if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only SpaceX will ever experience well I'm here to tell you there's a way all you need is a cuper marar glass a tankered chal orstein a c jugg or FL ask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure it's the dop ofine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go oh that's perfect that's perfect I'd say that's a good sign that things are going to go well in this show but you'll be able to tell by the very first story do you ever turn on a movie or a TV show and you're positive you can tell if you will like that TV or movie show in the first 30 seconds you you all do that right it's like 30 seconds and you know if you want to watch that show well probably the same with me our first story is the actor Lavar Burton uh who is Black which is important to the story and not a racist comment um he was shocked to discover that he's descended from a confederate soldier now I don't know if he has any uh slave holders on his side but I just wonder how much he owes himself in reparations all right that's my first joke but I swear I've got a few seconds left I can do better I can do better don't leave don't leave me I can do better all right we'll try uh here here's some fake science from NBC news on weed now every every time you see NBC news as a source of a story what should your brain say to you to keep you on track your brain should say to you I don't know if this is true but smart people tell me that NBC News is really just an organ of the CIA so any message that is in their news you could imagine I can't confirm this to be true it's merely an allegation that it's what the government wants you to know or at least the CIA do you think the government wants you to smoke less weed probably yeah probably they do so now NBC news says that um the science you know there's more weed smoking than ever it's at a high level and they say that it's now it might be linked to certain heart issues oh well that's pretty serious it might be linked to certain heart issues do you know what else might be linked to certain heart issues everything everything now if you saw a story like this a national story you would say to yourself my God it appears that the studies show that weed is linked to heart disease but when you read the article do you think it'll say that or will it say the studies are ambiguous they do not clearly show a link but there might be there might be a link it's totally possible do you know what uh data they will not show you here's the data that this article will not show you nor will any other article on the harms of weed here's the only data that matters what is the mortality and life expectancy rate of regular weed smokers versus those who have never touched it it's the same the only time it's ever been studied it's the same actually weed smokers might live longer a little bit but not that much yeah now don't you think that overall mortality would be the simplest thing to measure you know what wouldn't it really jump out if the overall mortality was worse for weed smokers wouldn't you notice that well I think you would he and uh some people argued but Scott don't you know that weed smokers have more uh what is it schizophrenia they have more like mental problems to which I say I don't know is that true How would how would we know that isn't it more likely that people have mental problems are drawn to weed to help them with their mental problems as they see it well I don't know but I do know that anytime you hear somebody say you should or should not do something because of it cost you are not dealing with a smart person because everything has a cost I've got a recommendation for you stop eating food it just makes you fat stop eating food it's taking your money so if something's going to take your money and make you fat you should stop doing it am I right because all you should look at is the is the negative why should you ever look at the positives and then weigh the positives compared to the negatives no we don't do that in today's world no all we do is to pick one side and say that's all you need to know if you're for marijuana you say it's medicinal but what about the negatives it's medicinal yeah but what you know there there is indication there are some negatives it's medicinal and then you talk to somebody who's anti-weed and they'll say causes uh XYZ problems maybe yeah but what about all the obvious medical benefits people get what about Freedom it causes more schizophrenia we think but we're not sure so the art the arguments on marijuana are almost always fake in both directions because both both sides will just tell you what's good or what's bad and they won't mention the other side and so all all the weed stories are fake uh here's more of fake science it's called the fake science of polling so the Wall Street Journal looked at a study that said that they talked to a lot of trump supporters who said well we would vote for him if he doesn't get convicted of any crimes but if he's convicted of a crime something like I don't know quarter of the people say they won't vot for him is that a big problem or a small problem go in the comments is that is that Real News Real science because the polling is scientific right all right here's what's wrong with this people don't vote hypothetically so the question is hypothetically if he's commit convicted of a crime how would you vote that's not anything that's real here's what would really happen in the real world Trump gets convicted of a crime the 20 let's say 28% or whatever it was who said that they would never vote for him if he's convicted of a crime now the election's coming up it's in a few days you know hypothetically and it's Biden versus Trump so somebody's going to look at uh Trump being convicted on any one of those charges and they're going to say you know what given that I'm going to choose Biden in the real world in the real world you think think that's going to happen but if you ask me in a poll what would I do there is a good chance I'd say well you know pollster you called a upstanding citizen who cares about the rule of law unlike those unwashed heathens out in the rest of the world I I am the kind of person with a strong moral core and ethical behavior is the most important thing for me so let me tell you hypothetically it doesn't matter at all it's just a way for me to feel good about myself I would never vote for somebody convicted of a crime that would never happen so go write that down go write that down because that's true all right here's the real world in the real world uh let's say Trump gets convicted of I don't know whatever they're talking about now I I lose track because none of it seems real to me it all just seems made up so he gets convicted of something it doesn't even matter what as long as it's one of the things he's he's charged with so there's nothing new in this example so he gets charged with let's say convicted of any one of the 91 counts any one of them what does the left leaning media say about it and what is the right leaning media well the right lean the left leaning would say he is disqualified but the right leaning media having really only one one chance of controlling the presidency just Trump do you think that they would report it as you know until that conviction we really thought this Trump might be a viable candidate but now he's not now he's not so probably all you people watching Fox News you should probably just vote for Biden now because you know at least he's not convicted of anything is that going to happen or is it more likely that the the pundits and supporters of trump will say you know what that was a to charge with a crime and a conviction in a totally biased Court I'm going to vote for him twice which is more likely it's far more likely he'll get more popular it's far more likely and why is why is the Wall Street Journal even pretending that this must be some kind of a Nikki hilly play right something to get Nikki Hy slotted in there because there's no way anybody's dumb enough to think that if Trump gets convicted on a charge which are the only ones there are there aren't any real ones in my that's my opinion you you think people are going to drop in for Biden because of that yeah so so you're G to drop Trump because he was abused by the government he's trying to fix so you you want more of the abuse you're going to vote for more Republicans being hunted and and abused that's never going to happen there isn't the slightest chance that won't make Trump more popular all right so that's some good fake fake polling um what's the name of that uh that fake uh group of white supremacists what are they called Stormfront or something do I have the name right oh Patriot front why did I say storm front is that something Patriot front so the so the Patriot front these are the guys who wear their nice khakis and they put in you know really full masks the kind of really masks you know they're covering even the backs of their heads they don't even want their ears to show that's how I was serious they are so they're out marching again I don't think there's a single Republican who think thinks that's anything but feds do any of you believe that's a genuine organization even one of you now here's what I do believe there probably are real real racists in the group but I don't think they're the organizers I think they just make sure there's some real ones in there in case they get caught they can say this one's a real one all right so sure sure we had a fed or two because that's what we do we infiltrate but look this guy's real look look at his look at his social media total total racist I told you it's a good you know aren't you glad we infiltrated this group because look at that guy just look at him all racist all over yeah I think it's funny that they're trying all the same tricks that we figured out I don't think there's any chance they're real do you I actually have reduced the odds of them being a real organization to zero there was a time when I thought it was well you know 9010 10% chance it might be real you know you could be wrong about stuff like that but now I think there's no chance at all it it's actually hilariously fake because as many people said today on social media if these guys were real the media would be all over it the the regular media would have uncovered their secret layer there'd be stories about their leadership you know and how the FBI is on their on the trail and all that stuff yeah the the fact that there's no story about their real identities it's exactly what it looks like all right military recruitment for white straight males is way down like way way down are you surprised why would why would straight white males not want to join the military could it be because of all the Dei of of course it is I mean what else would it be why would you join an organization that tells you from the start they're going to they're going to discriminate against you now they would say they don't do that they would say that they're just trying to get some diversity but it's all the same in terms of its impact on a straight straight white man it's all the same now I don't mind if people like Mark Cuban pretend that they don't understand why it's bad uh he's running a company and you as a leader he might want to support diversity and that impuls is all good I like the impulse uh so he's I think he's defending his his employees and defending his companies and he's um let's say establishing his brand as being very diversely conscious the way he's doing it is arguing that Dei is good in general which he's not dumb enough to actually believe so I'm gonna assume the the best which is that he's super smart super capable it probably is good for him and his companies to present himself in a as a Dei supporter probably um but but anyway so here's my question about the military why would any straight white man join the military when they're being discriminated against it's the opposite of what you would fight for this is what I this is a country I would fight against not for if if my country says I'm going to discriminate against people like you I'm not going to join to fight for you no I'm gonna fight against you because you just said you're my enemy that you're you're going to discriminate against me no I'm on the other side let's be very clear you know I'm All American but I'm on the other side from you so no I'm not going to join your army to fight against people like me I guess I don't know so what's going to happen here here's my uh provocative statement remember I keep uh saying the same thing over and over in different stories which is the people like to look at one part of the topic either just the benefits or just the costs like the like the other side doesn't even exist that's what Dei is let me ask you this and watch your watch your head explode do you believe there's ever been an academic uh paper or study that looked at what the effect of Dei would be on straight white males do you think that's ever been done do you think every anybody ever said you know if we do this you know set of things for Dei we're going to get a bunch of benefits for nonwhite non-male people and those benefits would be good for them do I agree with that absolutely yeah totally yeah if I were a person of color I'd be all for it because it'd be good for me and you're allowed to do that right in a in a democracy you're allowed to say I'm in favor of that because it's good for me that's not unethical I like it because it's good for me we can all vote that way you don't have to I mean if you don't I might resp respect you even more but I'm not going to disrespect you if you vote for your own interest in a democracy or semi democracy so uh I don't think any white man straight white man should have anything to do with any organization as Dei but here's the thing you know how some people uh the the racist people like to say America was built by all these white people that always bothers me right right cuz obviously a lot of people contributed to building the Chinese slaves and the on the Railroad and the black slaves so a lot of people Built America but you know what you know what else made America it wasn't the building that's the part we focus on you know the part where the the country is the founded and then you know from the founding there's all these you know great things that great people did to make it the country it is and that's a good story it's all true but here's another way to tell the same story America wasn't about the building it was about the leaving it was about white men mostly I mean they they took women but it was about white men saying I'm going to get the out of this place because it's not for me and coming to America because it wasn't the place they were leaving is what we do right so if you want the white straight men to leave just create a system that guarantees it which is what we have now so when I say I'm looking for an alternative to Living in America it's not my first choice my first choice is to stay right where I am and fix stuff but I'm not an idiot right the the pilgrims probably wanted to stay and fix things too I'll bet the pilgrims gave at least a little thought to try to fix it where where they were they probably complained right didn't work so in the end being the straight white men that they probably mostly were they packed up their women and their children and they said you know what let's just go where we don't have to be bothered by this stuff so they went to America but looks like America is getting spoiled in a similar fashion to the places they originally left so we should think seriously about leaving America not right away I mean it's not we're not at that point uh it's definitely we saving and you know it looks like corrective forces are in play I think we'll be fine in the long run actually I have an optimistic view of America but as advice I always say diversify your portfolio and always have a backup plan so I think it's really time for a backup plan for white straight men and the people who like them to find another country and it turns out that's completely practical or almost through seing so I think seing is going to be where straight white men Escape essentially because they can't go where the majority vote controls their lives because they won't be the majority so and by the way I would advise that to anybody you know if you're abused and you're a place where you don't have enough people to vote any Improvement leave CU if people are voting against you and there's just more of them and it's not going to change leave go somewhere where you can have some control over your life so I think sea sledding will be a thing sea sledding is where you build a big artificial Boat Island that's so big bunch of people live on it now here's what's new uh I don't know if you saw it uh the big uh electronic trade show there's a device it's about the size of an outside air conditioner that can create water out of air and that's what you need if you're going to be on the ocean because you can't just desalinate very easily desalinization is expensive you could do it but it's expensive but this thing just picks the water out of the air there's no salt in it it can do it all day long we can also make a power using temperature differentials which is perfect for the ocean it's not great if you're on a moving ship because you'd have to have something something that's you know below the water that's not good if you're moving but if you're a city you can go out there and drop something into the cold cold deep put something else above above where it's warmer and it's the temperature differential called A Sterling engine basically that creates electricity and it's a well-known very very old technology and very powerful way more powerful than people imagine it is so uh oh that device makes 110 gallons of water a day enough for you family just put one next to your your place so now we have between solar and Sterling engines you have all the power you need for your sea setting you got all the fresh water you need with that new technology uh I imagine waste could be handled in a good way or a bad way because you're in the ocean um it looks like your food would mostly be right there in the ocean wouldn't it don't you think you'd be able to fish yourself up plenty of protein and you could probably do some vegetables and stuff that you could grow on there I think we're at a point yeah Kevin cner was not wrong I think we're at a point where building your own nation is going to be completely practical the only thing you'd have to work out is defense all right I've been asked a lot about Rob Riner who is uh often active on X and old Twitter and he would be very anti-republican anti-trump and he's doing a uh I guess he's doing a series of podcasts on who killed JFK the JFK assassination now the reason that people are curious and say Scott what do you think about this is because smart people uh believe that Rob rer has a CIA connection and that his uh political activism might be more related to our intelligence agencies than just his pure singular opinion now I don't know that no way to prove it but we do know that Rob Riner has lots of CIA friends because he just said it yesterday I just watched a video where he was describing who was he talking to I forget he was talking to one of the podcasts and he actually said he knows a lot of CIA people and I think Mike Ben also found that he heads an organization that has a number of uh past CIA leaders you know I think Clapper is actually in the organization that Rob Riner organizes so so we know he has personal Connections in the Intel world and we know that uh he's he's blaming the CIA for the murder of JFK along with the mafia so his take is that it's a it's a little more complicated than the normal way the story is told but that basically there are there were elements in the CIA who worked with elements in the mafia who were mad the mafia was mad that um they got kicked out in Cuba so the mafia wanted keny to make make good with Cuba so they could go back and get their casinos and and their business back so the mafia didn't like Kennedy's I don't know if Rob rer mentions it but you know when uh Bobby Kennedy went after the mafia that probably seemed like some kind of a betrayal so they had cubble to hate him for the mafia and and they had the fact that he was going after the mafia to hate him for so the mafia certainly didn't love Kennedy I feel that's obvious and easy to say but the question is why if if it's true that as people say that Rob Riner has some you know Intel connection and that he might be in a propaganda role more than just telling you his personal opinion but why would he why would he throw the C C under the bus that doesn't make sense does it can you explain that why why would he go hard at the CIA blaming them for Killing Kennedy if he's if he were working with them and on their side how can you explain that well easily as it turns out again I don't know what he's thinking or who he's working with or you know or what but let me tell you what he said the parts we do know what he said was it wasn't this CIA as an ordered from the top it was rather Rogue rightwing elements of the CIA so the CIA leadership no problem they weren't involved but Rogue right-wing elements of the CIA what does that remind you of the Rogue right-wing elements does it sound a lot like the military looking for the white supremacists in the military oh it does doesn't it yeah because then the military can be good but the white supremacists those damn Republicans as they might say Well they're bad if you just get rid of them you'd be in good shape and it seems it seems that Rob Riner would like us to believe something similar like that is happening with the CIA oh the CIA is not totally clean yeah no he's not saying that they're not totally clean but if you could only get rid of those right-wing elements it might be so do you think he's throwing the CIA under the bus or is he giving them cover and throwing Republicans under the bus to me it looks like he's making a case CAA good unless they're Republicans and right Wingers it's all good except for those right- Wingers so we got to get rid of them yeah that's what I think so if rer is trying to look exactly like a CIA asset he's pulling it off perfectly uh somebody says that John cusac falls into that category and I would say um cusac might be a little more complicated he might be a little more complicated yeah so I don't know what his deal is all right uh Sam mman apparently is looking to create a network of factories to make uh AI related chips in the United States now you might know that we can't have China or some other company country control our AI chips because those will be the most valuable ones probably U but the United States has not been super good at building chip factories for reasons I don't know so now Sam mman in my opinion is putting together a portfolio that could make him as rich as Elon Musk because he's going to have he's going to have investments in AI which will be the biggest thing he is long had investments in Fusion which if it ever comes online will make you know Ai and robots and everything far more uh practical and if he builds a chip factory he's going to own the AI the AI chips and the infusion would be the power to power all this you know I I love how Elon Musk companies have they always seem to have something in common or they work with the others you know the the Skylink seems to work really well with cars and spaceships um if you've got AI it's going to work with all those things if you can manufacture anything it's you know so it feels like musk's businesses have all these I hate to say synergies but it's the word nobody's come up with a better word for it yet so I'll just say it you know as a creator of Dilbert I hate to say synergies because I mock that word all the time but that's what it is but if you do it right it's actually a good idea well a bunch of States 33 states are going to sue meta the Facebook parent company for uh it's damaged to Children's Mental Health they say uh they say quote meta has harness powerful and unprecedented Technologies to entice uh engage and ultimately in snare Youth and teens its motive is profit blah blah blah blah kids and teenagers are suffering from record levels of poor mental health you think this is going to work I don't know you know I always say insurance is the only thing that predicts so if meta wins the suit then I guess there's no insurance implication but what if what if what if this science showed that young kids are actually injured and what if some enterprising lawyers find a way to tie any one kids suicide or mental health problem to the platform you know sort of like cigarettes tied to smoking will any lawyer be able to tie mental health of children or any bad outcomes to the platforms and if they tied it to more than one platform would it still work you know could they say Well it's not one platform It's a combination of you know Tik Tok plus this and would that still work I don't know I'd keep an eye on the insurance angle to see what kids will be able to do because I feel like an adult would not be able to sue so well because they kind of know what they're getting into whereas you know much like cigarettes you can't really sue a cigarette company for giving you cancer because it says that it gives you cancer right on the package you know so adults know what they're getting when they do social media kids don't so you can imagine that maybe you could sue on behalf of a kid where it'd be harder on behalf of a parent who was more more aware of the real situation so I think it's all going to come down to insurance companies all right so Federman Senator fedman Democrat continues to rack up uh topics which Republicans like so I made a list of the ones I know of tell me if I left left one out so feder Federman is very anti- um Menendez the the senator who is accused of uh bad bad bribery behavior and Menendez is a prominent Democrat so just the fact that a another prominent Democrat fedan is against him and very against him like he's it's like a main topic uh gives you some comfort that even as a Democrat he's willing to police his own side he's supposed to uh people in Congress being able to St trade stocks makes sense to me he he is against defunding the police makes sense to me he's pro-israel so am I he's uh you know he's and he's really against the people chanting from the from the river to the Sea so he's got what I would consider all smart opinions on this stuff um he's anti-open borders on the climate do you think he's a climate alarmist not so much he says you need to balance the climate with the our other threats on National Security meaning maybe you ought to use a little coal and a little bit of oil because otherwise we're all screwed perfectly sensible um he even supports fracking in his state but not the fracking industry in large pretty reasonable pretty isal I don't know what his exact complaint is about the industry but he's not against the technology and he's not against using it an estate so and he said directly he's no longer Progressive he just likes to be called the Democrat so what exactly is left what what what topics does fedman favor that a republican wouldn't I think he's he's Pro Second Amendment but he would be more restrictive than others or not what kind of right well I I'd like to just know more about his situation don't buy as Scott it's a swing state oh well yes let's say this let me say this about their swing state he he's I think he's a perfect Democrat for Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania is is not like super Progressive I would say even I would go further and I would say that you know I grew up in Upstate New York no Upstate New York is not exactly Pennsylvania they're a little different but not a lot you know if you if you grew up in Upstate New York you probably have some sensibility about what a Pennsylvania person thinks right it's not that different and fedman seems very Pennsylvania to me he could work in Upstate New York too you know even though that's more Republican or it used to be all right so uh he's just an interesting story I like to keep an eye on him it's funny that a Democrat can make news by not being crazy oh there's another Upstate New Yorker is agreeing with me about the Pennsylvania similarity yeah um so so end Wes one of the fun accounts on X said says it's going to cost uh this is according to a 2023 estimate uh the cost for the illegal immigrant population or migrant population is $451 billion just for one year so America is paying $451 billion to make sure that the migrants are safe and taken care of uh relative to that uh and wokness says it would cost 15 billion to build a wall to keep them out so we're paying 451 billion to take care of somebody the people that we could have kept a lot of them out for I don't think it's 15 I think it's closer to 25 and that means it's closer to 50 but it's not close to 451 I mean if if you're doing it if if money is what matters apparently it isn't then walls are pretty good Investments all right um K Harris is apparently going to be the uh the leading face for abortion uh so that that will be her job in the coming election year to talk about abortion and you know I usually say a lot of bad things about comell Harris but this might be the perfect job because think about how this goes over with Republicans the Republicans are going to look at Comm L saying hey more abortions and they're going to say to themselves okay but you know in my family we wouldn't have an abortion whether it was legal or not so it doesn't really affect my family because we Republicans are just going to have the baby if we get in that situation so really it's the abortion question is mostly whether the Democrats can do it you know it's a generality but it's more about whether the Democrats can do it because Republicans even though they do have abortions of course they're they're more likely to say well we would just have the baby because we don't like abortions but K Harris is saying and I'm going to sort of characterize her she's saying to Republicans that if if uh abortion is legal there will be less of me that's right because Republicans presumably wouldn't care one way or the other because they're not having the abortions anyway on average whereas the Democrats want to have them and the face of of can we kill our babies is K Harris and I look at K Harris and I say so you want permission to kill your baby who would grow up to be like you okay I don't want to think that the baby would necessarily be exactly like the parent you know you can't blame the parent Can't Blame a baby for something the parent's doing so it wouldn't be a fair thing on the other hand my subconscious is telling me I do want less of you not not for racial reasons not for gender reasons for political reasons only so it's a weird it's a weird sales thing where it's weirdly effective because the Republicans the the only ones who have to be convinced are looking at it and go okay that's a pretty good argument you probably do need less of you one fact us all right Lloyd Austin um the news is reporting that Lloyd Austin the defense secretary is back to work but I have a question how can we be sure did he tell anybody that's all I had on that that's all I had I have nothing else to say about that did he tell anybody or did he I feel like it's George castanza situation where he just sort of shows up at work after he quit and and people just sort of notice he's there I feel like I did somebody see Lloyd I feel like I feel like he's working did he mention it to anybody does anybody know anyway uh has Dan santis back down to the race yet some people said he was going to do it today apparently he cancel some interviews which make people suspicious and it would be about the right time and people are calling for it V is calling for it Etc um but do you really think it would happen before the New Hampshire oh he's in New Hampshire today I feel like you wouldn't pull out before New Hampshire uh that he wouldn't call him because he could at least take some votes away from Nikki Hy because shouldn't the santis if he's going to drop out shouldn't he at least let Trump do the best that Trump can do in New Hampshire by maybe keeping some voters from going from D santis to Haley or do I have the is my analysis wrong Trump would do better with him in the race right or do I have that backwards would anybody say the opposite that Trump would be better off with him in or out 34 Minute glitch yeah better with the out oh better with him Mount because his votes would mostly go to Trump not Haley so we okay I think either way he's going to win New Hampshire so we'll keep an eye on that um certainly the De.

Santis energy all suggests he that he's done would you agree I I feel like De.

Santis is making no attempt to get like a big publicity hit I think he's just going through the actions for his I I think he's just paying back his donors by saying well you gave me money I guess I better appear at these events because I haven't quit yet so I feel sorry for him because I think he's just going through the motions there's a VI update uh Sean Hannity asked him about possibly being a VP in a trump Administration and because he's smart said quote there's a lot of ways to drive change in the country inside and outside the government you know my only issue with a V is he might be too qualified for a lot of the jobs that you keep suggesting you should have I think he's too qualified to be a vice president because they're a little bit wasted in that job he's also too qu ified to be a spokesperson it you know if you think that V's um skill is that he's just a good talker I think you're missing the you you buried the lead he's a good talker because he's insanely smart it's the insanely smart part we like not just the good talking so would he be a good spokes person yeah he'd be the best he'd be the best there ever was is that a good place for him no no that would be a place for a good talker right somebody who understands everything well enough to really communicate it well but if you're if you're strategically you know brilliant you need to be inside the room not just talking about what happened in the room so we'll see where he goes are you how many of you are following this Ireland Free Speech situation which I was trying to ignore but now it's too big to ignore so I don't know if I have this right yet because I I'm only just waiting into it today and I was kind of in a hurry this morning so here's what I think I understand so Ireland is considering some legislation that would uh ban so-called hate speech for anybody who's got an Ireland connection like a business ER or a citizen now you say to yourself well why do we care about that that's just little irel land but turns out that Ireland little Ireland has a lot of the big tech companies over there so the the thinking is that they could put pressure on the tech companies uh and it wouldn't be easy for them to move out of Ireland because there's quite a big presence there now the thought is that it's not really a hate speech issue at all it's if you can get a hate speech bill passed in one little country then you can just say oh uh everything those Republicans are saying is haze speech so you basically just close down the opposition so that's what people worry I'm reading Michael shellenberger post and and stuff on this uh people worry that the real play that it's a trojan horse it's not about hate speech it's about stopping the opposition speech and that it would be expanded but here's the part I don't get yet maybe somebody in the comments can fill me in if there's a quick way to do that why wouldn't the tech companies just say okay we're gone is it just cost it just be too expensive is that the only reason in in taxes so basically it's oh so they have a big tax haven over there so it would be prohibitively expensive for them to leave so so it' be easier for Google to say ah we like Free Speech but we don't like Republicans either so all right we'll give you what you want is that what's going to happen that would be very dangerous if that's what's going to happen all right and as uh Michael shellenberger points out that people think it's an anti-semitic uh sort of a conspiracy theory that George Soros is trying to you know buy influence and control the governments but then he points out that Alex Soros is who's running the show at the moment um is always being photographed with the top leaders of all the countries do you know why anybody takes a picture with a top leader of another country do you know what that's all about well well Michael sheler take is that it's so Alex Soros can show everybody who he bought all right that I'm paraphrasing he didn't say it that way but the idea is that you're advertising your control over the people do you see it that way so if every time you saw a world leader you saw them smiling too big and acting like they're really really good friends with Alex Soros wouldn't you think well Alex Soros is controlling things because he gives a lot of money to a lot of people and the people he gives money to in the political realm like to take a picture smiling really big so maybe they get more money later so follow the money works it does appear that if you look at all the money that Alex sorus is giving to the Nos and the politicians and the way he's doing it it does look like he's either the dumbest guy in the world or he's intentionally trying to destroy the world for reasons that are a little unclear so I'm actually still confused about him maybe he's some kind of Weird True Believer in something but it feels more like he's enjoying the power and the influence and so if he just keeps giving to people who act a certain way and they act a certain way to him maybe that's all he cares about I I can't believe he thinks he's fixing the world that like there's no evidence that he's making the world a better place do you think that the open borders is entirely one guy Alex Soros what do you think do you think it's entirely one person no you're saying no you think it's the world economic forum it's the whole un yeah who in the world thinks that massive immigration is going to turn out well it I don't know anybody honest who could think that would work well uh there's a Chinese biolab found in California Robbie Starbucks was writing about it on X uh I don't know what to think of this so there's this Chinese guy who had a lab with every kind of bad deadly chemical in it or virus and he got caught and apparently he's actually on record of saying he wants to defeat the American aggression aggressors so it appears that on the surface there was literally a Chinese biolab by a terrorist who was maybe funded by China who wanted to create a virus and Destroy America I feel like I'm missing something in this story is a little too on the nose or something I don't know I I'm going to put a pin in this one and say it's all scary stuff better pay attention to it but I feel like there's more to know don't you think I I feel like I don't know there's a variable missing in that no Mr.

Bond we want you to die I don't know why we're saying that but somebody's saying it all right um there there's a uh if you didn't see the video there was a big UFC fight in Toronto and I guess the chanting was F Trudeau so the UFC fans in Canada are not big fans of the president but I use this story to remind you that sometimes we think we're in some kind of political opinion difference I'm not sure that's true I think it's a testosterone difference because if if you fill a stadium full of high testosterone people that they praise Trump and they yell at Trudeau is that always a coincidence I don't think that's a coincidence isn't it literally just the high testost and people detest Trudeau and love Trump I think that's all it is yeah all right speaking of testosterone there's a new let's see I think it was the Wall Street Journal saying that uh there are more American single men who say they don't have any close friends so 20% of single men say they don't have any close friends was that shocking to you who who is shocked de that 20% of single men don't have any friends close ones well oh really okay okay um I thought it would be much higher I don't think it's 20% I think it's closer to half what do you think I think at least half of all men don't have any friends yeah close to half so I think that's a terrible poll um my only advice for men who want to have more friends is that it has to come through joint activity men don't make friends because somebody was nice at the bar the doesn't really happen so somebody chatted with you at the bar and you made friends and then you became friends forever I've never heard of that I've heard of people who were roommates who stayed friends and but they were roommates for accidental reasons I've heard of people who played Sports together becoming friends I've heard of people work together being friends you got to do a thing with other guys if you want to be friends take up a sport join a you know work somewhere where there's guys that's the only thing we it's just AC activity it's activity activity activity I'm not even sure rotary uh if you join the rotary that probably only works if you're getting involved and really doing the work you know you're not just a a member who attends meetings but it could work yes all right um end wokeness uh noted that uh in Australia they've got Mass migration problem too uh 737,000 migrants in 2023 um so one out of 36 Australians arrived last year wow but 70% of Australians pulled wanted less immigration only 10% wanted more is Australia a democracy they're getting more immigration but 70% don't want it no it's obviously not obviously not and is is America uh a republic with Democratic principles obviously not I don't know who's in charge now when I say that I don't say that like a hyperbole like oh we don't know who's in charge you know conspiracy theory I mean it literally I actually don't know because there's no evidence that Biden's in charge if it's not him who is it I I actually don't know that's legitimately I don't know I don't think it's Obama I think Obama gets involved in some political stuff and maybe a few things he cares about I I'm sure he wants a Democrat for president so he might be involved in the campaign klouse I don't know I don't know um so uh so the US there's a story that the us is getting more involved in trying to blunt the influence of China and Russia in Africa because as you know China's aggressive in Africa building infrastructure uh giving them loans and you really trying to get economically tight with the African nations uh to get a big Advantage with them in the future uh a lot of it has to do with resources because China needs a lot of natural resources and Africa ASM so they figure you know the more they wrap their economic Futures together the more they'll have access to the resources so let me ask this how is it working out for AF for China so far is China pretty happy they put their money in Africa because they bought the they built some gleaming facilities that are working out just the way they hoped as far as I know China has basically wasted immense amount of resources in Africa and got almost nothing in return now not positive that's true well the the rare actually The Rare Minerals might be that might be a valid argument so I do think they're getting resources but what I don't think is that they're uh delighted with the return on their Investments because America also has seemingly all the rare materials we need I mean we're building stuff so China has raw materials like Rare Earth we have Rare Earth but we didn't spend a gazillion billion dollars in Africa they got pissed away so I think it would be a toss up strategy-wise whether it's smarter to compete with China and try to get as much control of Africa as we can um and doesn't know but it was a better use of 10 trillion than our stupid Wars I don't know I I guess the question question is is any amount of money that you put into Africa going to work out because there's there's a theoretical amount of corruption that makes it impossible to invest and I think they're below that line I think they're uninvestable so if you try to make it investable by investing I don't know if that could get you from here to there I don't know I don't know if that's really a path so of course Africa will improve like everything improves over time but if you try to make it improve too fast you might have some some issues there so I'm not sure we should be competing there well let's talk about Israel in the two- State versus one state solution so Netanyahu has said directly now that there's no real there's no plan for from him anyway for a two-state solution he wants Israel to control the West Bank in Gaza and that's it and then you're done Israel controls it and we're done forever now as you might imagine that is very provocative and the Arab world doesn't love it and the Biden Administration wants a two-state solution and all the protesters want an end to the violence and for them to work out something that would look like a two-state solution so what's going to happen uh well things are getting bad there well they were always bad but getting worse the numbers of uh people killed civilian uh you know I think I won't even say the number because you're just going to say that number came from Hamas that is exaggerated and I'll say yeah you're probably right but it's the only number we have and I I told you where it came from and then you'll say but still it's so misleading maybe it'd be better you didn't mention it at all so I'm not going to mention it at all so just know that there claims of you know immense numbers of uh wounded and dead civilians and Fighters but estimates of of how many Hamas Fighters they got is more like 20% and progress is slowing so the suggestion is that Hamas is on the border of wedding Hamas is on the border of winning because for them not losing is winning if they lost half of their Fighters but stayed in power that's a win right because they would have degraded Israel's reputation in the world they don't care so much about their own deaths that'd be a win so if Israel is really only degraded 20% of the actual Fighters that doesn't look like they're winning to me what do you think because they're hurting public opinion and they're not getting what they wanted for it which is kill Hamas so that's not ideal um but if you have Ned yaho who is against the two State solution and you've got Biden who wants one and of course we're going to have to get on the same page at some point um what do you do well let me give you a lesson in negotiating if you have a situation which cannot be solved anytime soon your best bet all right somebody's saying Israel isn't losing like that I I don't want to get into a dumb argument right so let's see if I can say it in a way that you'll stop saying that you don't know who's winning and losing because that depends on the final State and that's unknowable you don't know if Israel will be forced by public opinion to slow down what they're doing which will leave Hamas intact which would definitely be losing but you also don't know if if Israel is just going to ignore public opinion and do whatever they need to do until they do win which they could it's possible so you can't say Israel is winning and you can't say Hamas is winning you can say there's an argument for both situations are you okay with that there's an argument for both but you don't know which way it's going to end how would you well I'm going to give you a prediction based on the only way it could end when there's only one way it can go it's not hard to predict would you agree I don't think it was hard to predict where Ukraine and Russia would go they would kill more people until they got tired and they would make some kind of agreement that looks sort of like the borders the way they are now so you don't have to be a genius if there's literally only one way things can go I mean you could say well it'll be a nuclear war but not really it doesn't really look like it could be a nuclear war um so here's here's the way I think Israel and Gaza is going to go uh the two-state solution people will never give up Netanyahu will not be able to stay in office um and push his one one nation thing Biden isn't going to say one nation um and here's what's going to happen there's only one way to solve it you make a 20-year deal and say here's the deal we can't just hand it back to hamash you understand why but we'll make a 20-year plan for a two for a two Nation solution if after 20 years the following security and let's say education of the people in in those areas uh reaches certain criteria at that time we will uh look into turning you back over to Hamas or or not Hamas probably but to the Palestinians to uh to run it because after 20 years you've shown us that you can live with us in peace and not be a threat now what would Biden say to that oh that's too slow and then then Yahoo says it's all you're getting all right we'll try to sell it so then they can say this is the only plan because you know you can't do it in a day and you know you can't wait 100 years so we're going to do the only productive thing we can which is to say look 20 years is reasonable because you got to change a lot and it's going to take 20 years especially educating the youth so if Israel gets control of the curriculum in the schools such that they can actually brainwash the youth and they can reduce the number of Terror attacks to whatever level they say is low enough that they're okay with it at the end of 20 years they will definitely be open to that two-stage solution now what will really happen in the real world first of all it would be hard to say no to that deal if it's the best one you can get because Israel is never going to agree to a two-state solution right off the bat that's just stupid like even imagine that's going to be a serious conversation is crazy but eventually you know they could they can make a claim that things can change they can't make a claim that it would work work today that would be crazy literally crazy so when you only have one thing you can do that's probably what's going to happen so the one thing you can do is say We'll create some series of confidence building steps to get us to where we both would like to be because I don't think Israel would hate it if they got out of the business of protecting themselves from their neighbor it just doesn't seem possible but if it could be done of I think they'd like it I don't think that they lust for extra land uh you know expanding in this way I don't think that's as much as I would like to just not have the problem at all that's my guess so I'm going to predict that there will be a phased uh kind of approach and oh yeah maybe maybe the Abraham Accords will be wrapped into that as in you know if you guys can get along for a while then Saudi and Israel get along for a while and maybe help with the rebuilding you you could tie all that stuff together but the important thing is uh Israel would have to know that they could say no after 20 years and then they would they would definitely say no after 20 years because there isn't a chance in the world that the Palestinians will stop their their attacks there's no chance of that right and and if they pull the public and maybe one of the criteria is poll ping maybe one of the criteria is if we pull you you can't be uh 80% in favor of killing all of the people in Israel because we're not going to give you a state if that's the situation so you know even though polls can be faked and whatnot um they could say you're going to have to get public opinion down to some reasonable level of wanting to kill us before a two-state solution is even you know something we could take seriously so yeah uh that's the only way to go so therefore it will uh there's talk of a hostage deal Hamas is saying they'll give back all the hostages if uh the fighting stops and Hamas can go back in in charge of Gaza that's not gonna happen so the these are all fake offers uh so why is Hamas making a fake offer that they know will be turned down so that it looks like they're negotiating so it looks like they care about you know giving back the hostages yeah so it's a fake offer and Israel should match it with a fake offer of their own oh hey what I'll make you a deal can't give you that stay right away but if you work with us keep things safe for 20 years yeah totally possible all right that ladies and gentlemen is the end of my cont content tight and perfect I think for today I going say bye to the uh the Youtube and Rumble and x uh viewers thanks for watching and we'll see you again tomorrow same place same time bye for now

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

you're lucky to be here it's going to be

one of the best ones you've ever seen if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that only SpaceX will ever

experience well I'm here to tell you

there's a way all you need is a cuper

marar glass a tankered chal orstein a c

jugg or FL ask a vessel of any kind fill

it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee join me now for the unparallel

pleasure it's the dop ofine hit of the

day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens now

go oh that's perfect that's

perfect I'd say that's a good sign that

things are going to go well in this show

but you'll be able to tell by the very

first

story do you ever turn on a movie or a

TV show and you're positive you can tell

if you will like that TV or movie show

in the first 30

seconds you you all do that right it's

like 30 seconds and you know if you want

to watch that

show well probably the same with me our

first story is the actor Lavar Burton uh

who is Black which is important to the

story and not a racist comment

um he was shocked to discover that he's

descended from a confederate

soldier now I don't know if he has any

uh slave holders on his side

but I just wonder how much he owes

himself in

reparations all right that's my first

joke but I swear I've got a few seconds

left I can do better I can do better

don't leave don't leave me I can do

better all right we'll try uh here

here's some fake science from NBC news

on weed now every every time you see NBC

news as a source of a story what should

your brain say to you to keep you on

track your brain should say to you I

don't know if this is true but smart

people tell me that NBC News is really

just an organ of the CIA so any message

that is in their news you could imagine

I can't confirm this to be true it's

merely an

allegation that it's what the government

wants you to know or at least the

CIA do you think the government wants

you to smoke less weed probably yeah

probably they do so now NBC news says

that um the science you know there's

more weed smoking than ever it's at a

high level and they say that it's now it

might be linked to certain heart

issues oh well that's pretty serious it

might be linked to certain heart issues

do you know what else might be linked to

certain heart

issues everything everything now if you

saw a story like this a national story

you would say to yourself my God it

appears that the studies show that weed

is linked to heart disease but when you

read the article do you think it'll say

that or will it say the studies are

ambiguous they do not clearly show a

link but there might be there might be a

link it's totally possible do you know

what uh data they will not show you

here's the data that this article will

not show you nor will any other article

on the harms of weed here's the only

data that matters what is the mortality

and life expectancy rate of regular weed

smokers versus those who have never

touched it

it's the

same the only time it's ever been

studied it's the same actually weed

smokers might live longer a little bit

but not that much yeah

now don't you think that overall

mortality would be the simplest thing to

measure you know what wouldn't it really

jump out if the overall mortality was

worse for weed

smokers wouldn't you notice

that well I think you would he and uh

some people argued but Scott don't you

know that weed smokers have more uh what

is it

schizophrenia they have more like mental

problems to which I say I don't know is

that

true How would how would we know that

isn't it more likely that people have

mental problems are drawn to weed to

help them with their mental problems as

they see

it well I don't know but I do know that

anytime you hear somebody say you should

or should not do something because of it

cost you are not dealing with a smart

person because everything has a cost

I've got a recommendation for you stop

eating

food it just makes you fat stop eating

food it's taking your money so if

something's going to take your money and

make you fat you should stop doing it am

I right because all you should look at

is the is the negative why should you

ever look at the positives and then

weigh the positives compared to the

negatives no we don't do that in today's

world no all we do is to pick one side

and say that's all you need to know if

you're for marijuana you say it's

medicinal but what about the negatives

it's medicinal yeah but what you know

there there is indication there are some

negatives it's medicinal and then you

talk to somebody who's anti-weed and

they'll say causes uh XYZ problems maybe

yeah but what about all the obvious

medical benefits people

get what about

Freedom it causes more schizophrenia we

think but we're not

sure so the art the arguments on

marijuana are almost always

fake in both directions because both

both sides will just tell you what's

good or what's bad and they won't

mention the other side and so all all

the weed stories are

fake uh here's more of fake science it's

called the fake science of polling so

the Wall Street Journal looked at a

study that said that they talked to a

lot of trump supporters who said well we

would vote for him if he doesn't get

convicted of any crimes but if he's

convicted of a crime something like I

don't know quarter of the people say

they won't vot for him is that a big

problem or a small problem go in the

comments

is that is that Real News Real science

because the polling is scientific right

all right here's what's wrong with

this people don't vote

hypothetically so the question is

hypothetically if he's commit convicted

of a crime how would you vote that's not

anything that's real here's what would

really happen in the real world Trump

gets convicted of a crime the 20 let's

say 28% or whatever it was who said that

they would never vote for him if he's

convicted of a crime now the election's

coming up it's in a few days you know

hypothetically and it's Biden versus

Trump so somebody's going to look at uh

Trump being convicted on any one of

those charges and they're going to say

you know what given that I'm going to

choose

Biden in the real world in the real

world you think think that's going to

happen but if you ask me in a

poll what would I do there is a good

chance I'd say well you know pollster

you called a upstanding citizen who

cares about the rule of law unlike those

unwashed heathens out in the rest of the

world I I am the kind of person with a

strong moral core and ethical behavior

is the most important thing for me so

let me tell you hypothetically it

doesn't matter at all it's just a way

for me to feel good about myself I would

never vote for somebody convicted of a

crime that would never happen so go

write that down go write that down

because that's

true all right here's the real

world in the real

world uh let's say Trump gets convicted

of I don't know whatever

they're talking about now I I lose track

because none of it seems real to me it

all just seems made up so he gets

convicted of something it doesn't even

matter

what as long as it's one of the things

he's he's charged with so there's

nothing new in this example so he gets

charged with let's say convicted of any

one of the 91 counts any one of

them what does the left leaning media

say about it and what is the right

leaning media well the right lean the

left leaning would say he is

disqualified but the right leaning media

having really only one one chance of

controlling the presidency just Trump do

you think that they would report it as

you know until that

conviction we really thought this Trump

might be a viable candidate but now he's

not now he's not so probably all you

people watching Fox News you should

probably just vote for Biden now because

you know at least he's not convicted of

anything is that going to

happen or is it more likely that the the

pundits and supporters of trump will say

you know what that was a to

charge with a crime and a

conviction in a totally biased

Court I'm going to vote for him

twice which is more

likely it's far more likely he'll get

more popular it's far more likely and

why is why is the Wall Street Journal

even

pretending that this must be some kind

of a Nikki hilly play right something to

get Nikki Hy slotted in there because

there's no way anybody's dumb enough to

think that if Trump gets convicted on a

charge which are the only ones

there are there aren't any real ones in

my that's my

opinion you you think people are going

to drop in for Biden because of that

yeah so so you're G to drop Trump

because he was abused by the government

he's trying to

fix so you you want more of the abuse

you're going to vote for more

Republicans being hunted and and abused

that's never going to

happen there isn't the slightest chance

that won't make Trump more

popular all right so that's some good

fake fake

polling um what's the name of that uh

that fake uh group of white supremacists

what are they called Stormfront or

something do I have the name

right oh Patriot front why did I say

storm front is that something Patriot

front so the so the Patriot front these

are the guys who wear their nice khakis

and they put in you know really full

masks the kind of really masks you know

they're covering even the backs of their

heads they don't even want their ears to

show that's how I was serious they are

so they're out marching

again I don't think there's a single

Republican who think thinks that's

anything but

feds do any of you believe that's a

genuine organization even one of

you now here's what I do believe there

probably are real real racists in the

group but I don't think they're the

organizers I think they just make sure

there's some real ones in there in case

they get caught they can say this one's

a real one all right so sure sure we had

a fed or two because that's what we do

we infiltrate but look this guy's real

look look at his look at his social

media total total racist I told you it's

a good you know aren't you glad we

infiltrated this group because look at

that guy just look at him all racist all

over yeah I think it's funny that

they're trying all the same tricks that

we figured

out I don't think there's any chance

they're real do

you I actually have reduced the odds of

them being a real organization to zero

there was a time when I thought it was

well you know

9010 10% chance it might be real you

know you could be wrong about stuff like

that but now I think there's no chance

at all it it's actually hilariously fake

because as many people said today on

social media if these guys were real the

media would be all over it the the

regular media would have uncovered their

secret layer there'd be stories about

their leadership you know and how the

FBI is on their on the trail and all

that stuff yeah the the fact that

there's no story about their real

identities it's exactly what it looks

like all right military recruitment for

white straight males is way down like

way way down are you surprised why would

why would straight white males not want

to join the military could it be because

of all the Dei of of course it is I mean

what else would it be why would you join

an organization that tells you from the

start they're going to they're going to

discriminate against you now they would

say they don't do that they would say

that they're just trying to get some

diversity but it's all the

same in terms of its

impact on a straight straight white man

it's all the same now I don't mind if

people like Mark Cuban pretend that they

don't understand why it's bad uh he's

running a company and you as a leader he

might want to support diversity and that

impuls is all

good I like the impulse uh so he's I

think he's defending his his employees

and defending his companies and he's um

let's say establishing his brand as

being very diversely

conscious the way he's doing it is

arguing that Dei is good in general

which he's not dumb enough to actually

believe so I'm gonna assume the the best

which is that he's super smart super

capable it probably is good for him and

his companies to present himself in a as

a Dei supporter

probably um but but anyway so here's my

question about the military why would

any straight white man join the

military when they're being

discriminated against

it's the opposite of what you would

fight for this is what I this is a

country I would fight against not

for if if my country says I'm going to

discriminate against people like you I'm

not going to join to fight for

you no I'm gonna fight against you

because you just said you're my enemy

that you're you're going to discriminate

against me no I'm on the other side

let's be very clear you know I'm All

American but I'm on the other side from

you so no I'm not going to join your

army to fight against people like me I

guess I don't know so what's going to

happen here here's my uh provocative

statement remember I keep uh saying the

same thing over and over in different

stories which is the people like to look

at one part of the topic either just the

benefits or just the costs like the like

the other side doesn't even exist that's

what Dei is let me ask you this and

watch your watch your head

explode do you believe there's ever been

an academic uh paper or

study that looked at what the effect of

Dei would be on straight white males do

you think that's ever been done do you

think every anybody ever said you know

if we do this you know set of things for

Dei we're going to get a bunch of

benefits for nonwhite non-male people

and those benefits would be good for

them do I agree with that absolutely

yeah

totally yeah if I were a person of color

I'd be all for it because it'd be good

for me and you're allowed to do that

right in a in a democracy you're allowed

to say I'm in favor of that because it's

good for me that's not unethical I like

it because it's good for me we can all

vote that way you don't have to I mean

if you don't I might resp respect you

even more but I'm not going to

disrespect you if you vote for your own

interest in a democracy or semi

democracy

so uh I don't think any white man

straight white man should have anything

to do with any organization as Dei but

here's the

thing you know how some people uh the

the racist people like to say America

was built by all these white

people that always bothers me right

right cuz obviously a lot of people

contributed to building the Chinese

slaves and the on the Railroad and the

black slaves so a lot of people Built

America

but you know what you know what else

made America it wasn't the

building that's the part we focus on you

know the part where the the country is

the founded and then you know from the

founding there's all these you know

great things that great people did to

make it the country it is and that's a

good story it's all true but here's

another way to tell the same story

America wasn't about the building it was

about the leaving it was about white men

mostly I mean they they took women but

it was about white men saying I'm going

to get the out of this place

because it's not for me and coming to

America because it wasn't the place they

were leaving is what we do right so if

you want the white straight men to leave

just create a system that guarantees it

which is what we have now so when I say

I'm looking for an alternative to Living

in

America it's not my first choice my

first choice is to stay right where I am

and fix stuff but I'm not an idiot right

the the pilgrims probably wanted to stay

and fix things

too I'll bet the pilgrims gave at least

a little thought to try to fix it where

where they were they probably

complained right didn't work so in the

end being the straight white men that

they probably mostly

were they packed up their women and

their children and they said you know

what let's just go where we don't have

to be bothered by this stuff so they

went to

America but looks like America is

getting spoiled in a similar fashion to

the places they originally

left so we should think

seriously about leaving America not

right away I mean it's not we're not at

that point uh it's definitely we saving

and you know it looks like corrective

forces are in

play I think we'll be fine in the long

run actually I have an optimistic view

of

America but as advice I always say

diversify your portfolio and always have

a backup plan so I think it's really

time for a backup plan for white

straight men and the people who like

them to find another

country and it turns out that's

completely practical or almost through

seing so I think seing is going to be

where straight white men

Escape essentially because they can't go

where the majority vote controls their

lives because they won't be the

majority so and by the way I would

advise that to anybody you know if

you're abused and you're a place where

you don't have enough people to vote any

Improvement

leave CU if people are voting against

you and there's just more of them and

it's not going to change leave go

somewhere where you can have some

control over your life so I think sea

sledding will be a thing sea sledding is

where you build a big artificial Boat

Island that's so big bunch of people

live on it now here's what's new uh I

don't know if you saw it uh the big uh

electronic trade show there's a device

it's about the size of an outside air

conditioner that can create water out of

air and that's what you need if you're

going to be on the ocean because you

can't just desalinate very easily

desalinization is expensive you could do

it but it's expensive but this thing

just picks the water out of the air

there's no salt in it it can do it all

day

long we can also make a power using

temperature

differentials which is perfect for the

ocean it's not great if you're on a

moving ship because you'd have to have

something something that's you know

below the water that's not good if

you're moving but if you're a city you

can go out there and drop something into

the cold cold deep put something else

above above where it's warmer and it's

the temperature differential called A

Sterling engine basically that creates

electricity and it's a well-known very

very old technology and very powerful

way more powerful than people imagine it

is so uh oh that device makes 110

gallons of water a

day enough for you family just put one

next to your your place so now we have

between

solar and Sterling engines you have all

the power you need for your sea setting

you got all the fresh water you need

with that new

technology uh I imagine waste could be

handled in a good way or a bad way

because you're in the ocean um it looks

like your food would mostly be right

there in the ocean wouldn't it don't you

think you'd be able to fish yourself up

plenty of protein and you could probably

do some vegetables and stuff that you

could grow on there I think we're at a

point yeah Kevin cner was not

wrong I think we're at a point where

building your own nation is going to be

completely practical the only thing

you'd have to work out is

defense all right I've been asked a lot

about Rob Riner who is uh often active

on X and old Twitter and he would be

very anti-republican

anti-trump and he's doing a uh I guess

he's doing a series of podcasts on who

killed JFK the JFK assassination now the

reason that people are curious and say

Scott what do you think about this is

because smart people uh believe that Rob

rer has a CIA connection and that his uh

political activism might be more related

to our intelligence agencies than just

his pure singular opinion now I don't

know that no way to prove it but we do

know that Rob Riner has lots of CIA

friends because he just said it

yesterday I just watched a video where

he was describing who was he talking to

I forget he was talking to one of the

podcasts and he actually said he knows a

lot of CIA people and I think Mike Ben

also found that he heads an organization

that has a number of uh past CIA leaders

you know I think Clapper is actually in

the organization that Rob Riner

organizes so so we know he has personal

Connections in the Intel world and we

know that uh he's he's blaming the

CIA for the murder of JFK along with the

mafia so his take is that it's a it's a

little more complicated than the normal

way the story is told but that basically

there are there were elements in the CIA

who worked with elements in the mafia

who were mad the mafia was mad that um

they got kicked out in Cuba so the mafia

wanted keny to make make good with Cuba

so they could go back and get their

casinos and and their business back so

the mafia didn't like Kennedy's I don't

know if Rob rer mentions it but you know

when uh Bobby Kennedy went after the

mafia that probably seemed like some

kind of a betrayal so they had cubble to

hate him for the mafia and and they had

the fact that he was going after the

mafia to hate him for so the mafia

certainly didn't love Kennedy I feel

that's obvious and easy to

say but the question is why if if it's

true that as people say that Rob Riner

has some you know Intel connection and

that he might be in a propaganda role

more than just telling you his personal

opinion but why would he why would he

throw the C C under the bus that doesn't

make sense does it can you explain that

why why would he go hard at the CIA

blaming them for Killing Kennedy if he's

if he were working with them and on

their side how can you explain

that well easily as it turns

out again I don't know what he's

thinking or who he's working with or you

know or what but let me tell you what he

said the parts we do know what he said

was it wasn't this CIA as an ordered

from the top it was rather

Rogue

rightwing elements of the

CIA so the CIA leadership no problem

they weren't involved but Rogue

right-wing elements of the CIA what does

that remind you of the Rogue right-wing

elements does it sound a lot like the

military looking for the white

supremacists in the military oh it does

doesn't it yeah because then the

military can be good but the white

supremacists those damn Republicans as

they might say Well they're bad if you

just get rid of them you'd be in good

shape and it seems it seems that Rob

Riner would like us to believe something

similar like that is happening with the

CIA oh the CIA is not totally clean yeah

no he's not saying that they're not

totally clean but if you could only get

rid of those right-wing elements

it might

be so do you think he's throwing the CIA

under the bus or is he giving them cover

and throwing Republicans under the

bus to me it looks like he's making a

case CAA good unless they're Republicans

and right

Wingers it's all good except for those

right- Wingers so we got to get rid of

them yeah that's what I

think so if rer is trying to look

exactly like a CIA asset he's pulling it

off

perfectly uh somebody says that John

cusac falls into that category and I

would say um cusac might be a little

more

complicated he might be a little more

complicated yeah so I don't know what

his deal is all right uh Sam mman

apparently is looking to create a

network of factories to make uh AI

related chips in the United States now

you might know that we can't have China

or some other company country control

our AI chips because those will be the

most valuable ones probably U but the

United States has not been super good at

building chip factories for reasons I

don't know so now Sam mman in my opinion

is putting together a portfolio that

could make him as rich as Elon Musk

because he's going to have he's going to

have investments in AI which will be the

biggest thing he is long had investments

in Fusion which if it ever comes online

will make you know Ai and robots and

everything far more uh practical and if

he builds a chip factory he's going to

own the AI the AI chips and the infusion

would be the power to power all this

you know I I love how Elon Musk

companies have they always seem to have

something in common or they work with

the others you know the the Skylink

seems to work really well with cars and

spaceships um if you've got AI it's

going to work with all those things if

you can manufacture anything it's you

know so it feels like musk's businesses

have all these I hate to say synergies

but it's the word nobody's come up with

a better word for it yet so I'll just

say it you know as a creator of Dilbert

I hate to say synergies because I mock

that word all the time but that's what

it is but if you do it right it's

actually a good

idea well a bunch of States 33 states

are going to sue meta the Facebook

parent company for uh it's damaged to

Children's Mental Health they say uh

they say quote meta has harness powerful

and unprecedented Technologies to entice

uh engage and ultimately in snare Youth

and teens

its motive is profit blah blah blah blah

kids and teenagers are suffering from

record levels of poor mental health you

think this is going to

work I don't know you know I always say

insurance is the only thing that

predicts so if meta wins the suit then I

guess there's no insurance implication

but what if what if what if this science

showed that young kids are actually

injured and what if some enterprising

lawyers find a way to tie any one kids

suicide or mental health

problem to the

platform you know sort of like

cigarettes tied to smoking will any

lawyer be able to tie mental health of

children or any bad outcomes to the

platforms and if they tied it to more

than one platform would it still work

you know could they say Well it's not

one platform It's a combination of you

know Tik Tok plus this and would that

still work I don't know I'd keep an eye

on the insurance angle to see what kids

will be able to do because I feel like

an adult would not be able to sue so

well because they kind of know what

they're getting

into whereas you know much like

cigarettes you can't really sue a

cigarette company for giving you cancer

because it says that it gives you cancer

right on the package you know so adults

know what they're getting when they do

social media kids don't so you can

imagine that maybe you could sue on

behalf of a kid where it'd be harder on

behalf of a parent who was more more

aware of the real

situation so I think it's all going to

come down to insurance

companies all right so Federman Senator

fedman

Democrat continues to rack up uh topics

which Republicans like so I made a list

of the ones I know of tell me if I left

left one out so feder Federman is very

anti- um

Menendez the the senator who is accused

of uh bad bad bribery behavior and

Menendez is a prominent Democrat so just

the fact that a another prominent

Democrat fedan is against him and very

against him like he's it's like a main

topic uh gives you some

comfort that even as a Democrat he's

willing to police his own

side he's supposed to uh people in

Congress being able to St trade

stocks makes sense to me he he is

against defunding the police makes sense

to me he's pro-israel so am I he's uh

you know he's and he's really against

the people chanting from the from the

river to the Sea so he's got what I

would consider all smart opinions on

this stuff um he's anti-open

borders on the climate do you think he's

a climate

alarmist not so much he says you need to

balance the climate with the our other

threats on National Security

meaning maybe you ought to use a little

coal and a little bit of oil because

otherwise we're all

screwed perfectly

sensible um he even supports fracking in

his state but not the fracking industry

in

large pretty reasonable pretty isal I

don't know what his exact complaint is

about the industry but he's not against

the technology and he's not against

using it an

estate so and he said directly he's no

longer Progressive he just likes to be

called the Democrat so what exactly is

left what what what

topics does fedman favor that a

republican

wouldn't I think

he's he's Pro Second Amendment but he

would be more restrictive than others or

not what kind

of right well I I'd like to just know

more about his

situation don't buy as Scott it's a

swing state oh well yes let's say this

let me say this about their swing state

he he's I think he's a perfect Democrat

for

Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania is is

not like super

Progressive

I would say even I would go further and

I would say that you know I grew up in

Upstate New York no Upstate New York is

not exactly

Pennsylvania they're a little different

but not a lot you know if you if you

grew up in Upstate New York you probably

have some sensibility about what a

Pennsylvania person thinks right it's

not that different and fedman seems very

Pennsylvania to me he could work in

Upstate New York too you know even

though that's more Republican or it used

to

be all right

so uh he's just an interesting story I

like to keep an eye on him it's funny

that a Democrat can make news by not

being

crazy oh there's another Upstate New

Yorker is agreeing with me about the

Pennsylvania similarity yeah

um

so so end Wes one of the fun accounts on

X said says it's going to cost uh this

is according to a 2023 estimate uh the

cost for the illegal immigrant

population or migrant population is $451

billion just for one year so America is

paying $451 billion to make sure that

the migrants are safe and taken care of

uh relative to that uh and wokness says

it would cost 15 billion to build a wall

to keep them out so we're paying 451

billion to take care of somebody the

people that we could have kept a lot of

them out for I don't think it's 15 I

think it's closer to 25 and that means

it's closer to 50 but it's not close to

451 I mean if if you're doing it if if

money is what matters apparently it

isn't

then walls are pretty good

Investments all right

um K Harris is apparently going to be

the uh the leading face for

abortion uh so that that will be her job

in the coming election year to talk

about

abortion and you know I usually say a

lot of bad things about comell Harris

but this might be the perfect

job because think about how this goes

over with

Republicans the Republicans are going to

look at Comm L saying hey more abortions

and they're going to say to themselves

okay but you know in my family we

wouldn't have an abortion whether it was

legal or not so it doesn't really affect

my family because we Republicans are

just going to have the baby if we get in

that situation so really it's the

abortion question is mostly whether the

Democrats can do it you know it's a

generality but it's more about whether

the Democrats can do it because

Republicans even though they do have

abortions of course they're they're more

likely to say well we would just have

the baby because we don't like abortions

but K Harris is

saying and I'm going to sort of

characterize

her she's saying to Republicans that if

if uh abortion is legal there will be

less of

me that's right because Republicans

presumably wouldn't care one way or the

other because they're not having the

abortions anyway on average whereas the

Democrats want to have them and the face

of of can we kill our babies is K Harris

and I look at K Harris and I say

so you want permission to kill your baby

who would grow up to be like you okay I

don't want to think that the baby would

necessarily be exactly like the parent

you know you can't blame the parent

Can't Blame a baby for something the

parent's doing so it wouldn't be a fair

thing on the other hand my subconscious

is telling me I do want less of you not

not for racial reasons not for gender

reasons for political reasons

only so it's a weird it's a weird sales

thing where it's weirdly

effective because the Republicans the

the only ones who have to be convinced

are looking at it and go okay that's a

pretty good argument you probably do

need less of you one fact

us all

right Lloyd Austin um the news is

reporting that Lloyd Austin the defense

secretary is back to work but I have a

question how can we be

sure did he tell

anybody that's all I had on that that's

all I had I have nothing else to say

about that did he tell anybody or did he

I feel like it's George castanza

situation where he just sort of shows up

at work after he

quit and and people just sort of notice

he's there I feel like I did somebody

see Lloyd I feel like I feel like he's

working did he mention it to anybody

does anybody know anyway

uh has Dan santis back down to the race

yet some people said he was going to do

it today apparently he cancel some

interviews which make people suspicious

and it would be about the right time and

people are calling for it V is calling

for it

Etc um but do you really think it would

happen before the New

Hampshire oh he's in New Hampshire

today I feel like you wouldn't pull out

before New Hampshire

uh that he wouldn't call him because he

could at least take some votes away from

Nikki

Hy because shouldn't the santis if he's

going to drop out shouldn't he at least

let Trump do the best that Trump can do

in New Hampshire by maybe keeping some

voters from going from D santis to

Haley or do I have the is my analysis

wrong Trump would do better with him in

the race right or do I have that

backwards would anybody say the opposite

that Trump would be better off with him

in or

out 34 Minute

glitch yeah better with the out oh

better with him Mount because his votes

would mostly go to Trump not Haley so we

okay I think either way he's going to

win New

Hampshire so we'll keep an eye on that

um

certainly the DeSantis energy all

suggests he that he's done would you

agree I I feel like DeSantis is making

no attempt to get like a big publicity

hit I think he's just going through the

actions for his I I think he's just

paying back his donors by saying well

you gave me money I guess I better

appear at these events because I haven't

quit yet so I feel sorry for him because

I think he's just going through the

motions there's a VI update uh Sean

Hannity asked him about possibly being a

VP in a trump Administration and because

he's smart said quote there's a lot of

ways to drive change in the country

inside and outside the

government you know my only issue with a

V is he might be too qualified for a lot

of the jobs that you keep suggesting you

should have I think he's too qualified

to be a vice president because they're a

little bit wasted in that

job he's also too qu ified to be a

spokesperson it you know if you think

that V's um skill is that he's just a

good

talker I think you're missing the you

you buried the lead he's a good talker

because he's insanely smart it's the

insanely smart part we like not just the

good talking so would he be a good

spokes person yeah he'd be the best he'd

be the best there ever was is that a

good place for him no no that would be a

place for a good

talker right somebody who understands

everything well enough to really

communicate it

well but if you're if you're

strategically you know brilliant you

need to be inside the room not just

talking about what happened in the room

so we'll see where he goes are you how

many of you are following this Ireland

Free Speech situation which I was trying

to ignore but now it's too big to ignore

so I don't know if I have this right yet

because I I'm only just waiting into it

today and I was kind of in a hurry this

morning so here's what I think I

understand so Ireland is considering

some

legislation that would uh ban so-called

hate speech for anybody who's got an

Ireland connection like a business ER or

a citizen now you say to yourself well

why do we care about that that's just

little irel land but turns out that

Ireland little Ireland has a lot of the

big tech companies over there so the the

thinking is that they could put pressure

on the tech

companies uh and it wouldn't be easy for

them to move out of Ireland because

there's quite a big presence there now

the thought is that it's not really a

hate speech issue at all it's if you can

get a hate speech bill passed in one

little country then you can just say oh

uh everything those Republicans are

saying is haze speech so you basically

just close down the opposition so that's

what people worry I'm reading Michael

shellenberger post and and stuff on this

uh people worry that the real play that

it's a trojan horse it's not about hate

speech it's about stopping the

opposition speech and that it would be

expanded but here's the part I don't get

yet maybe somebody in the comments can

fill me in if there's a quick way to do

that why wouldn't the tech companies

just say okay we're gone is it just cost

it just be too

expensive is that the only reason in in

taxes so basically it's oh so they have

a big tax haven over there so it would

be prohibitively expensive for them to

leave so so it' be easier for Google to

say ah we like Free Speech but we don't

like Republicans either so all right

we'll give you what you want is that

what's going to happen that would be

very dangerous if that's what's going to

happen all

right and as uh Michael shellenberger

points out that people think it's an

anti-semitic uh sort of a conspiracy

theory that George Soros is trying to

you know buy influence and control the

governments but then he points out that

Alex Soros is who's running the show at

the moment

um is always being photographed with the

top leaders of all the

countries do you know why anybody takes

a picture with a top leader of another

country do you know what that's all

about well well Michael sheler take is

that it's so Alex Soros can show

everybody who he bought all right that

I'm paraphrasing he didn't say it that

way but the idea is that you're

advertising your control over the people

do you see it that way so if every time

you saw a world leader you saw them

smiling too big and acting like they're

really really good friends with Alex

Soros wouldn't

you think well Alex Soros is controlling

things because he gives a lot of money

to a lot of people and the people he

gives money to in the political realm

like to take a picture smiling really

big so maybe they get more money

later so follow the money

works it does appear that if you look at

all the money that Alex sorus is giving

to the Nos and the politicians and the

way he's doing it it does look like he's

either the dumbest guy in the world or

he's intentionally trying to destroy the

world for reasons that are a little

unclear so I'm actually still confused

about

him maybe he's some kind of Weird True

Believer in

something but it feels more like he's

enjoying the power and the influence and

so if he just keeps giving to people who

act a certain way and they act a certain

way to him maybe that's all he cares

about I I can't believe he thinks he's

fixing the

world that like there's no evidence that

he's making the world a better place do

you think that the open borders is

entirely one guy Alex

Soros what do you think do you think

it's entirely one person no you're

saying no you think it's the world

economic

forum

it's the whole

un yeah who in the world thinks that

massive immigration is going to turn out

well it I don't know anybody honest who

could think that would work well uh

there's a Chinese biolab found in

California Robbie Starbucks was writing

about it on X uh I don't know what to

think of this so there's this Chinese

guy who had a lab with every kind of bad

deadly chemical in it or virus and he

got caught and apparently he's actually

on record of saying he wants to defeat

the American aggression

aggressors so it appears that on the

surface there was literally a Chinese

biolab by a terrorist who was maybe

funded by China who wanted to create a

virus and Destroy

America I feel like I'm missing

something in this story is a little too

on the nose or something I don't know I

I'm going to put a pin in this one and

say it's all scary stuff better pay

attention to it but I feel like there's

more to know don't you think I I feel

like I don't know there's a variable

missing in

that no Mr Bond we want you to die I

don't know why we're saying that but

somebody's saying

it all

right

[Music]

um there there's a uh if you didn't see

the video there was a big UFC fight in

Toronto and I guess the chanting was F

Trudeau so the UFC fans in Canada are

not big fans of the president but I use

this story to remind you that sometimes

we think we're in some kind of political

opinion

difference I'm not sure that's true I

think it's a testosterone

difference because if if you fill a

stadium full of high testosterone

people that they praise Trump and they

yell at Trudeau is that always a

coincidence I don't think that's a

coincidence isn't it literally just the

high testost and people detest Trudeau

and love Trump I think that's all it is

yeah all right speaking of testosterone

there's a new let's see I think it was

the Wall Street Journal saying that uh

there are more American single men who

say they don't have any close friends so

20% of single men say they don't have

any close friends was that shocking to

you who who is shocked de that 20% of

single men don't have any friends close

ones

well oh really

okay

okay um I thought it would be much

higher I don't think it's 20% I think

it's closer to half what do you think I

think at least half of all men don't

have any

friends yeah close to half so I think

that's a terrible

poll um my only advice for men who want

to have more friends is that it has to

come through joint

activity men don't make friends because

somebody was nice at the

bar the doesn't really happen so

somebody chatted with you at the bar and

you made friends and then you became

friends forever I've never heard of that

I've heard of people who were roommates

who stayed friends and but they were

roommates for accidental reasons I've

heard of people who played Sports

together becoming friends I've heard of

people work together being friends you

got to do a thing with other guys if you

want to be friends take up a sport join

a you know work somewhere where there's

guys that's the only thing we it's just

AC activity it's activity activity

activity I'm not even sure rotary uh if

you join the

rotary that probably only works if

you're getting involved and really doing

the work you know you're not just a a

member who attends meetings but it could

work

yes all right

um end wokeness uh noted that uh in

Australia they've got Mass migration

problem too

uh

737,000 migrants in

2023 um so one out of 36 Australians

arrived last

year wow but 70% of Australians pulled

wanted less

immigration only 10% wanted more is

Australia a

democracy they're getting more

immigration but 70% don't want it no

it's obviously not obviously not and is

is

America uh a republic with Democratic

principles obviously not I don't know

who's in charge now when I say that I

don't say that like a hyperbole like oh

we don't know who's in charge you know

conspiracy theory I mean it literally I

actually don't know because there's no

evidence that Biden's in

charge if it's not

him who is it I I actually don't know

that's legitimately I don't know I don't

think it's Obama I think Obama gets

involved in some political stuff and

maybe a few things he cares about I I'm

sure he wants a Democrat for president

so he might be involved in the

campaign klouse I don't

know I don't

know

um

so uh so the US there's a story that the

us is getting more involved in trying to

blunt the influence of China and Russia

in Africa because as you know China's

aggressive in Africa building

infrastructure uh giving them loans and

you really trying to get economically

tight with the African nations uh to get

a big Advantage with them in the future

uh a lot of it has to do with resources

because China needs a lot of natural

resources and Africa ASM so they figure

you know the more they wrap their

economic Futures together the more

they'll have access to the resources so

let me ask this how is it working out

for AF for China so

far is China pretty happy they put their

money in Africa because they bought the

they built some gleaming facilities that

are working out just the way they

hoped as far as I know China has

basically wasted immense amount of

resources in Africa and got almost

nothing in return now not positive

that's

true well the the rare actually The Rare

Minerals might be that might be a valid

argument so I do think they're getting

resources but what I don't think is that

they're uh delighted with the return on

their Investments because America also

has seemingly all the rare materials we

need I mean we're building stuff so

China has raw materials like Rare Earth

we have Rare Earth but we didn't spend a

gazillion billion dollars in Africa they

got pissed away so I think it would be a

toss up strategy-wise whether it's

smarter to compete with China and try to

get as much control of Africa as we

can

[Music]

um

and doesn't know but it was a better use

of 10 trillion than our stupid Wars I

don't know I I guess the question

question is is any amount of money that

you put into Africa going to work out

because there's there's a theoretical

amount of corruption that makes it

impossible to invest and I think they're

below that line I think they're

uninvestable so if you try to make it

investable by investing I don't know if

that could get you from here to

there I don't know I don't know if

that's really a path so of course Africa

will improve like everything improves

over time but if you try to make it

improve too fast you might have some

some issues there so I'm not sure we

should be competing

there well let's talk about Israel in

the two- State versus one state solution

so Netanyahu has said directly now that

there's no real there's no plan for from

him anyway for a two-state solution he

wants Israel to control the West Bank in

Gaza and that's it and then you're done

Israel controls it and we're done

forever now as you might imagine that is

very provocative and the Arab world

doesn't love it and the Biden

Administration wants a two-state

solution and all the protesters want an

end to the violence and for them to work

out something that would look like a

two-state solution so what's going to

happen uh well things are getting bad

there well they were always bad but

getting worse the numbers of uh people

killed civilian uh you know I think I

won't even say the number because you're

just going to say that number came from

Hamas that is exaggerated and I'll say

yeah you're probably right but it's the

only number we have and I I told you

where it came from and then you'll say

but still it's so misleading maybe it'd

be better you didn't mention it at all

so I'm not going to mention it at all so

just know that there claims of you know

immense numbers of uh wounded and dead

civilians and Fighters but estimates of

of how many Hamas Fighters they got is

more like

20% and progress is

slowing so the suggestion is that Hamas

is on the border of

wedding Hamas is on the border of

winning because for them not losing is

winning if they lost half of their

Fighters but stayed in power that's a

win right because they would have

degraded Israel's reputation in the

world they don't care so much about

their own deaths that'd be a win so if

Israel is really only degraded 20% of

the actual Fighters that doesn't look

like they're winning to me what do you

think because they're hurting public

opinion and they're not getting what

they wanted for it which is kill

Hamas so that's not

ideal um but if you have Ned yaho who is

against the two State solution and

you've got Biden who wants one and of

course we're going to have to get on the

same page at some

point um what do you do well let me give

you a lesson in

negotiating if you have a situation

which cannot be solved anytime soon your

best

bet all right somebody's saying Israel

isn't

losing like that I I don't want to get

into a dumb argument right so let's see

if I can say it in a way that you'll

stop saying

that you don't know who's winning and

losing because that depends on the final

State and that's

unknowable you don't know if Israel will

be forced by public opinion to slow down

what they're doing which will leave

Hamas intact which would definitely be

losing but you also don't know if if

Israel is just going to ignore public

opinion and do whatever they need to do

until they do win which they could it's

possible so you can't say Israel is

winning and you can't say Hamas is

winning you can say there's an argument

for both situations are you okay with

that there's an argument for both but

you don't know which way it's going to

end how would

you well I'm going to give you a

prediction based on the only way it

could end when there's only one way it

can

go it's not hard to predict would you

agree I don't think it was hard to

predict where Ukraine and Russia would

go they would kill more people until

they got tired and they would make some

kind of

agreement that looks sort of like the

borders the way they are

now so you don't have to be a genius if

there's literally only one way things

can go I mean you could say well it'll

be a nuclear war but not really it

doesn't really look like it could be a

nuclear war um so here's here's the way

I think Israel and Gaza is going to go

uh the two-state solution people will

never give up Netanyahu will not be able

to stay in office um and push his one

one nation thing Biden isn't going to

say one

nation um and here's what's going to

happen there's only one way to solve it

you make a 20-year deal and say here's

the deal we can't just hand it back to

hamash you understand why but we'll make

a 20-year plan for a two for a two

Nation

solution if after 20 years the following

security and let's say education of the

people in in those areas uh reaches

certain

criteria at that time we will uh look

into turning you back over to Hamas or

or not Hamas probably but to the

Palestinians to uh to run it because

after 20 years you've shown us that you

can live with us in peace and not be a

threat now what would Biden say to that

oh that's too

slow and then then Yahoo says it's all

you're

getting all right we'll try to sell it

so then they can say this is the only

plan because you know you can't do it in

a day and you know you can't wait 100

years so we're going to do the only

productive thing we can which is to say

look 20 years is reasonable because you

got to change a lot and it's going to

take 20 years especially educating the

youth so if Israel gets control of the

curriculum in the

schools such that they can actually

brainwash the youth and they can reduce

the number of Terror attacks to whatever

level they say is low enough that

they're okay with

it at the end of 20 years they will

definitely be open to that two-stage

solution

now what will really happen in the real

world first of all it would be hard to

say no to that deal if it's the best one

you can

get

because Israel is never going to agree

to a two-state solution right off the

bat that's just stupid like even imagine

that's going to be a serious

conversation is crazy but eventually you

know they could they can make a claim

that things can change they can't make a

claim that it would work work today that

would be crazy literally crazy so when

you only have one thing you can do

that's probably what's going to happen

so the one thing you can do is say We'll

create some series of confidence

building steps to get us to where we

both would like to be because I don't

think Israel would hate it if they got

out of the business of protecting

themselves from their

neighbor it just doesn't seem possible

but if it could be done of I think

they'd like it I don't think that they

lust for extra land uh you know

expanding in this way I don't think

that's as much as I would like to just

not have the problem at all that's my

guess so I'm going to predict that there

will be a phased uh kind of approach and

oh yeah maybe maybe the Abraham Accords

will be wrapped into that as in you know

if you guys can get along for a while

then Saudi and Israel get along for a

while and maybe help with the rebuilding

you you could tie all that stuff

together but the important thing is uh

Israel would have to know that they

could say no after 20 years and then

they

would they would definitely say no after

20 years because there isn't a chance in

the world that the Palestinians will

stop their their attacks there's no

chance of that right and and if they

pull the public and maybe one of the

criteria is poll

ping maybe one of the criteria is if we

pull you you can't be uh 80% in favor of

killing all of the people in Israel

because we're not going to give you a

state if that's the

situation so you know even though polls

can be faked and whatnot um they could

say you're going to have to get public

opinion down to some reasonable level of

wanting to kill us before a two-state

solution is even you know something we

could take

seriously

so yeah uh that's the only way to go so

therefore it will uh there's talk of a

hostage deal Hamas is saying they'll

give back all the hostages if uh the

fighting stops and Hamas can go back in

in charge of

Gaza that's not gonna

happen so the these are all fake

offers uh so why is Hamas making a fake

offer that they know will be turned down

so that it looks like they're

negotiating so it looks like they care

about you know giving back the hostages

yeah so it's a fake offer and Israel

should match it with a fake offer of

their own oh hey what I'll make you a

deal can't give you that stay right away

but if you work with us keep things safe

for 20

years yeah totally

possible all right that ladies and

gentlemen is the end of my cont content

tight and perfect I think for today I

going say bye to the uh the Youtube and

Rumble and x uh viewers thanks for

watching and we'll see you again

tomorrow same place same time bye for

now
