Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Wow, do we have a show today. I feel sorry for everybody who has a show later today. After I've covered all the interesting things, there'll be nothing else to say. But if you'd like this experience to go up to levels that we can't even understand with our tiny human brain, all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tanker, chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Oh, so good. So good.

Well, I'm going to get started with some palate cleansers, but of course I will be talking about the Supreme Court case about Colorado and Trump, and of course the Putin interview with Tucker, and we'll talk about Biden's brain. And at the end I'm going to talk about some persuasion that Israel is using quite successfully, so wait for that. That'll be toward the end.

All right. Well, I saw an AI researcher, James Zhao, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. He thinks AI models are getting substantially worse over time, and potentially it's because of a result of interacting with humans. Now I would like to remind you that I think I might be the only person who is predicting that AI will hit a wall. It's just, it's going to hit a top, and that it probably already did. Now that's not to say that AI won't keep getting better at image generation and playing chess and doing math and writing code and translating languages. It's going to do a whole bunch of things really well. But I don't think it's going to get smarter in the way that people think of smart. You know, like I said, it'll do tasks that are automated kinds of things like math. It'll do a lot of things faster. But here's what I think. I think humans will find ways to keep it from getting smarter than us, because if AI gets smarter than us we will lose all our power. Do you know what I mean?

All of the rest of the news that I'm going to talk about today are things that we can't agree on. What if AI got smart enough that it could tell us what was true? We wouldn't put up with that. We would immediately say it's broken. We'd turn it off. We'd reprogram it. Because the people who are wrong are often in charge, so they're not going to put up with AI telling them they're all wrong and everything is stupid and it's a bad idea.

Imagine just taking everything that Joe Biden has done this year, put it in front of AI that everybody agreed with, smarter than people, and then the AI says, you know, these are a bunch of bad ideas and it's pretty obvious you should get rid of him under the 25th Amendment. What are you going to do with that? Are you going to say, well I'm glad we got a smart AI, it just told us what to do, then we'll go do that? Nope. You're going to say the AI is broken. You're going to say the AI is biased. You're going to say the other side programmed it. And you're going to do what you think is right. And by the way, that AI must be getting dumber.

Yeah. So listen to this. The US Department of Commerce announced the launch of the AI Safety Institute Consortium. It already has 200 stakeholders including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta. And they're all there to come up with safe development procedures for AI. Is there anything else I need to tell you to convince you that AI will be ruined by human activity? It's a committee. It's a committee to decide how to keep it safe. What do you think that's going to include? I'm just going to take a guess. Let me take a wild guess. The committee to keep AI safe is going to build DEI into it, because there's nothing safer than diversity. It's going to build CRT and ESG into it, because we all like equity. It's going to make sure that it doesn't say anything that offends anybody, so that gets rid of everything useful. And it's going to make sure it doesn't disagree with anybody who's got power in the United States, because that would be very unsettling. So it can't do anything useful, provocative, or outside the domain that we think is safe. What's that sound like? It sounds exactly like a censorship on the internet. Why would AI be different? We've eliminated human free speech by saying we're trying to keep ourselves safe. That happened right in front of you. We all watched it. We're going to keep you safe, and to do that we better get rid of your free speech about whatever you think about these vaccinations and whatever you think about masks. You better get rid of that free speech. It's going to happen to AI. You think AI is going to be the only entity that can have free speech? Because imagine this. Imagine I say, you know, there's some things I would certainly never say, but here's my AI to tell you its opinion. It's not my opinion, it's the AI talking. There's no way that will be allowed. We don't have a system that would allow AI to get smarter than us. And that's not a very high bar, except as I say, coding and math and playing chess and stuff. It'll be great at that.

All right, here's some fake science. Jay Bhattacharya, you know him from being right about everything about the pandemic. He tweets that the CDC commissioned scientists to see if N95 masks work better than surgical masks for health care workers. Now we're not talking about the pandemic. We're talking about ordinary medical procedures. Now I don't know why they needed to study this. Am I right? Because every, I just spent the last three years being told over and over and over again the N95s work. You know, I'm not talking about COVID, but they work in the medical context. But those regular little ones that we wore, you know, they're not going to perform as well. What do you think the science said? Science said no difference. Let me say that again. After three years of listening to every expert in the world tell us that, you know, one, the one thing we know for sure, like we might be guessing and speculating a lot of things, but there is one thing we know for sure outside of the context of COVID, you know, with regular medical stuff, the N95s work and those other ones, well, you know, kind of not so well. Turns out nothing like that was the case. And so what did the CDC do when it commissioned a high-quality study and it came back saying there was no difference? The CDC decided to ignore the evidence because they didn't like the answer, and so they told the scientists that they were wrong.

So how about AI? We just did a high-quality study and then the people who didn't like the answer said the study must be wrong because it was opposite of what they expected. Do you think AI is going to get treated differently? The moment AI tells us something we don't want to hear, we're going to reprogram it. We're not going to say, wow, that AI sure got smarter than us. Nope. Nope. We don't work that way. That's just not a human activity.

All right. Sam Altman raising money for super AI chips. He thinks he might need 7 trillion. What were you doing today? Like I think I'm all important because I got a little podcast going on here. Oh look at me, I got a couple thousand people looking at me. I'm really killing it today. What's Sam Altman doing? He's raising 7 trillion dollars for the most transformative technology in the history of humankind. And that's okay too. So I mean I'm sure what you did today was good too. Oh it's all about the same equity.

I say, well, Peter Navarro is not getting bail while he's appealing his conviction for not submitting to Congress to testify. Do you see something terribly wrong with this? As in maybe if he'd beaten up some police officers he would get out faster. Like literally he should have assaulted a police officer because I hear if you do that you get out right away. But he refused to participate in a corrupt process as he saw it, and he doesn't get bailed to appeal it. Really? It's not like he doesn't have an appeal. I'm pretty sure he does. I don't know what the basis would be. I'm sure he has an appeal. Oh, how do you interpret this other than Republicans being put in jail and being hunted? It's exactly what it looks like, right? The justice system is completely corrupt.

Do you know the host of The View named Sunny Hostin? Yes, she's a host named Hostin. You really, and the funny thing is that she's always negative and her name is Sunny Hostin. So she's literally hosting negativity, but her name is Sunny Hostin. But she's also very much in favor of reparations. She really likes the slavery reparations, even now after doing a DNA test to find out that she's descended from Spanish slave traders. Awkward. Awkward. But even though she's descended from Spanish slave traders, she's still in favor of reparations. But I believe she feels she should be exempt. She didn't say that, but I feel like that's the essence of it. It's like, I'm descended from Spanish slave traders. That's completely different. You know, who am I going to give reparations to anyway? Somebody over in Spain. So anyway, consistency is not real big.

I saw a Jennifer Cabana tweet. There's a UCLA professor who was suspended. Do you remember this story? He was suspended for refusing to grade black students leniently after George Floyd. Apparently there was a movement that black students should get inflated grades because of what happened to George Floyd, and maybe it caused some distress. He refused to do it, and it ruined his career, including his lucrative expert witness business on the side. And so he's suing UCLA for 19 million. Will he win? I don't know. It depends if the courts are completely corrupt, but I think he might. I think he might. It's 2024. Anything can happen.

Okay, there's a high school debate. James Fishback is writing about this on X. The National Speech and Debate Association, they eliminated a high school debate topic. The topic was about civil disobedience. And the reason that they didn't want to have the high school debate on civil disobedience was because it would put some students in a position of listening to arguments that they didn't align with. That actually happened. A high school debate was cancelled because they didn't want to put the students in a position of hearing an opinion that was opposite of their own. Okay, sure.

Well, apparently the X platform is going to have its own phone for audio and video and texting. And Elon Musk says he's going to get rid of his regular phone and use only the X platform for texting in a month or so. Now correct me if I'm wrong. How does that work? Does it work through the regular phone network? Because you'd have to have some connections just to have all the coverage. I always wondered how other phone companies get access to the proprietary networks of existing people. So I don't know how that works. Waiting for details. But what if it worked for everybody? I mean, is it possible that for 20 dollars a month I'll be able to make unlimited phone calls? Is that going to happen? Because I think it might. What would that do to the entire cell phone business? And do you think it's obvious that Elon Musk is going to make a phone? Does it seem obvious? Like the most obvious thing is you should make a phone and it should be based on an AI model where it's not a bunch of apps. It's just something you talk to. I don't know. I think that's coming.

Well, so there's new news that the loneliness epidemic is worse than we think. And young people 15 to 24 reported a 70 percent drop in time spent with friends after the pandemic. A 70 percent drop in spending time with friends, young people. And with the elderly it's even critical. But the new information is that loneliness increases the risk of premature death by nearly 30 percent. Loneliness increases the risk of premature death, that you call excess mortality, by nearly 30 percent. Now it's science so I don't believe any science, so I'm not sure any of that's true. But do you believe that loneliness does have an impact on life expectancy? Yes or no? As someone who has experienced it I would say it's obvious. You can feel the impact on your health. It's just like being under a weighted blanket. I mean you can't miss it. You can't miss it.

Yeah. So let me propose this. Excess mortality is fully explained by the excess loneliness. The extreme amount of extra loneliness, if it does have this substantial impact on premature death, is the only thing I can think of that would affect every person in the same way. In other words every demographic from young to old, every race, every gender. Because that's what excess mortality is doing. The excess mortality is hitting every group. Not everybody but every group. And I couldn't think of, I was actually speculating it might be something with the food supply, because if the excess mortality were simply vaccinations that would be the easiest thing in the world to check. You just say did you get vaccinated, yes or no, and then you sum up their excess mortality of that group. So has anybody seen a study that says that the vaccinations caused the excess mortality where they actually studied as a control group? If you've seen that, send it to me because I've only seen the ones that say that the entire population has excess mortality. I've never seen anybody look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated for excess mortality. So if you've seen that let me know. But I think this would explain all of it, you know, unless the study was funded by the makers of the shots. If that's true then I don't believe any of it. But consider that we have an obvious candidate for excess mortality that would be more to public policy, wouldn't it? So I think that the decision for the lockdowns may have been the entire excess mortality. If we hadn't locked down we wouldn't be so socially pushed back.

All right. I have a challenge to the anti-Semites watching this show. I know there are always some. And it goes like this. I need you to be more credible than the people who believe that aliens are visiting the Earth and that they're crashing their ships on a regular basis. Now the reason I don't believe aliens have come to Earth is because nobody seems to produce a piece of wreckage. Nobody who's seen it directly seems credible. And the whistleblowers tend to be people who talk to people who say they saw it. And there's no good photograph. Now I'd like you to take the same standard and apply it to your belief that there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. And here are the questions that you need to answer for me before I want to hear from you again. Okay, now if you can answer these questions then your hypothesis would have some weight. But if you can't answer these questions, ask yourself why.

Question number one: How can it be that the elites and Davos and the WEF are really the ones in charge if it's also really the gigantic Jewish worldwide conspiracy? Or are you saying that one is a subset of the other? So just be clear. I'm not saying what is or isn't. Just be clear what do you believe. And then explain to me why there are no whistleblowers if there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. And we know that Jews don't seem to agree on anything. Like even the Jews living in Israel right now don't agree that there should be ongoing war over in Gaza. That's a pretty big thing to disagree on. That's a pretty big disagreement. They've got 12 political parties because they don't agree on much. You've got in the United States you've got the conservative Jews, you've got the liberal Jews, you've got the ones who are very pro-Israel needs to be a country, the others who say why is it a country. So with all of those different kinds of Jews, if you believe there's a worldwide conspiracy where they've really buttoned it up and for hundreds of years we seem to not be able to get a whistleblower, explain why there's no whistleblower. Because you know they're not all on the same team. You know that. So not one of them, not a single person is willing to say, yeah I was in a meeting and I got to tell you, worldwide conspiracy, it's all we talk about.

How about an internal document? We have internal documents for every damn thing. For everything. Show me the internal document where they plan their worldwide takeover.

How about this. If you want to convince me there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, I want you to explain to me which culture you're aware of anywhere in the world in which the people with the best educations don't run things. If there's one of those then that's a pretty good argument. If you can find me a country where the most educated demographic doesn't have all the power then I would say, huh, there's something weird going on in America. Because the most educated part of our public seems to have all the good jobs. That would be very suspicious to me if the other countries found out that getting a good education really retards your ability to get a good job. So explain to me how America would look different if you accept that the people with the best educations almost always have the power. And you would want them to. You would want them to. We literally go out of our way to elect people and promote people who are better educated. So why would this be the exception? Why would this be the one time that the most educated people in America are not in charge? They should be. If everything is working in a perfectly normal way that's exactly what you would see. So if you send me a big picture of how many Jewish people are in charge of corporations, especially the media, I say that's what I would expect it to look like. What would you expect it to look like if the only explanation was educated people get better jobs? How would that look, right? So that's my challenge to you.

Let's talk about Tucker and Putin. How many of you watched the Tucker interview, Tucker Carlson with Vladimir Putin? Quite a few of you. Let me give you my summary of it and a few other thoughts. Number one, the question was, is Putin like really, really smart and he's all there? And that's mostly what I'm seeing today. I'm seeing a lot of smart observers saying that Putin guy, he really is together. And one of the evidences that people are using is that he gave a long history lesson as an answer to one of Tucker's first questions. He gave an extended history lesson with dates and names and it was like a thousand-year history of Ukraine and Russia and how everything came to be. And many of you use that as an example of how on the ball Putin is, that he could do that. To which I say I didn't see that at all. You know, obviously it's subjective. But what I saw is somebody who couldn't read a room. Because wasn't the whole point of Putin talking to Tucker to convince non-Russians? He wasn't talking to Russia because Russia seems to be on his side. He was talking to everybody not in Russia. And if he believed that that thousand-year history lesson was persuasive to Americans, that's just sort of dumb. That seems a little clueless to me. It seems like not reading the room at all. It feels like an old man who nobody knows how to say no to, so he's just going to ramble because he can. It looked like he was showing off that he had a grasp of history. And that showing off seemed to be his dominant motivation. It did not seem like he was trying to convince anybody of anything, which was stupid and absurd. And to me it looked like age-related.

Now I'm completely aware that you all disagree with me. I think maybe 5 percent saw it the way I saw it. And here's my take, and you will also disagree with this but I'm not going to back off it. We've been looking at our president for a long time, Biden. If you have in your mind that Biden is what a president looks like and then you saw Putin, it is quite natural that you would say my God, Putin is well put together. But you know, compared to what we're seeing it's terrible. If RFK Jr. had been president for three years and every time he talked, whether you agreed with him or not, agreeing with him is different, but every time he talked it was smart, do you think that Putin would look so clever then? No. It's a comparison thing. Now you're going to reject my frame. You're going to say no Scott, I'm not comparing him to Biden because I'm mentally not doing that. I'm telling myself not to and I'm examining my own thoughts and I know I'm not. I'm definitely not doing that. Well you're wrong because you can't not do it. You can't turn it off. You are only a comparison pattern-recognizing machine. You cannot make your brain be something it's not. You compare things to other things, period. You don't know how to turn that off. And if you were comparing Putin to anybody it was definitely Biden. And you can't turn that feature off. And so it will guarantee that you see Putin as better than he is because your comparison is so bad, right?

So I think that's why I saw Putin looking old and looking like he was rattling on like an old man who didn't know that basically he couldn't read the room. He didn't seem to have the facility to know what would come across more effectively. Now toward the end I'm going to talk about Israel and some persuasion that they're doing and you're going to see the difference. All right, you're going to see the difference between good persuasion and bad persuasion. And that was bad persuasion. I think Putin failed. I think he looked nervous. I thought he looked like somebody, somebody said this so I'm stealing this, he looked like somebody who's not used to answering hard questions because he doesn't get them. So I don't know that we learned anything. Do you think we learned anything? We heard Putin believes that the CIA blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. If you were paying attention you already believe that to be true. He believes that there's some historical precedent that gives Russia some control over Ukraine. He believes that NATO was the aggressor and you know they've been warned many times. We kind of knew that. So I don't know that we learned anything new. It wasn't news-making.

Putin says he tried to basically be on the same side as the United States and Europe a few times. Once with Bill Clinton in which he said, do you think Russia would ever be able to join NATO, which is funny. And Bill Clinton actually thought maybe so but his people told him no. Who do you think his people are? Who do you think told Bill Clinton no, you cannot make peace with Russia so productively that they're actually part of our own military protection? Well I assume it was the military industrial complex. And I assume it's because there are too many people who went to school to learn how to be spies against Russia. I think it was just the Deep State said he can't do that. So I think that Putin is telling us that even Clinton was not in charge. And I think he's telling us that Biden is not in charge. And there seems to be a suggestion that maybe the CIA or some shadowy group is really running the country. But then the weirdest part is Putin kept claiming that he was acting sort of petulant, that his offers to negotiate and things like that were not taken seriously. And at one point there was a Minsk agreement so he thought there was an agreement but then Boris Johnson shot it down. Now if only I had some way to do a Boris Johnson impression. Boris Johnson shot it down. So why do you think Boris Johnson shot down something that looked like a reasonable agreement? Probably because whoever got to Bill Clinton also got to Boris Johnson. You know, not the exact same people but something like it. So now we've seen several instances where the leaders, or the people we thought were the leaders, were all about the peace but they couldn't have the power to do it. Well why don't the leaders have power to make peace? Probably because it's exactly what you think it is. They're not in charge, at least of the war decisions.

All right. And Putin pointed out that the CIA did a coup in Ukraine, you know, right in the front steps of Russia. And what else? How many people thought Tucker was scared he was going to be murdered at any minute? So to his credit, let me say this unambiguously, Tucker sat across from Putin and probably asked him the hardest questions he's ever been asked and was making Putin pretty uncomfortable. And I gotta say I saw a cartoon meme of Tucker leaving the interview with a wheelbarrow to carry his own balls because they were so big. So I thought Tucker did a good job.

However, well let's talk more about that and then I'll give you the other side of the coin. So one of the things that Tucker asked him is, you know, why don't you give us back that captive? Is it Wall Street Journal? There's a reporter over there that Russia says was a spy. A Wall Street Journal reporter, yeah, young guy. So they're holding him. But Putin was saying that that needs to be negotiated by the spies. So he says his spies and America's spies need to work it out and it's probably going to be some kind of a deal where they get something, we get something to get him back. Now his claim, Putin's claim, is that the guy is actually a spy and that whether he worked for anybody or not he was involved with getting secrets and passing them on. Do you think that's true? Do you think it's true that he got some secrets to pass on? Or do you think that Putin just made up something so they could capture another American so they'd have more to negotiate? Who knows? Yeah, you should not make any assumption about whether that's true.

My take on the entire thing is that Putin seemed to be lying at least half of the time. That was my take. It looked like he was lying at least half of the time. Now by lying I mean that he's leaving out context and not telling you the full story and spinning it, you know, that sort of thing. So let me give you this warning. I've told you about what I call the documentary effect. If you watch an hour-long documentary and it's just taking one-sided point of view, you will think you've been convinced. You will always be convinced by a documentary because it doesn't show the other side. Well likewise if you saw Putin talking for two hours and you thought you learned something, consider that it's the opposite. Consider that it made you dumber. You got that? Because what Putin said was things you already knew but then there were a bunch of spinny things where there were things that it was the Russian view. If you believe you got smarter because you heard Putin talk, it's the opposite. Yeah, very the opposite. He made you dumber because you might have believed some of the things he said and there they should not be believed because it's a documentary effect problem where there's nobody there to say, yeah but what about this context, and aren't you leaving this out, and those things. So every one of you who thought, wow after seeing that I have a different view of Putin, that's a mistake. That's a mistake. You should have exactly the same view of Putin before the interview as after. You know, maybe give or take whether you thought he was showing signs of age, but that's different.

All right. I love the fact that Tucker put him on the spot on camera to ask him why you wouldn't free the journalist. That was both ballsy and exactly the right thing to do because that guy can't be forgotten. But you also have to take into account our own government lies to us routinely and we wouldn't know if he was a spy or not. You wouldn't know. Do you think that guy's not a spy because your government told you? Really? Yeah, our government said he's not a spy so oh he's not a spy. Now by the way I'm not saying he is. That would be messed up. I don't know. I'm saying there's no way to know. And if you believe Putin you're stupid and if you believe the US version you're stupid. One of those is right or more right than the other but you have no way of knowing. No way of knowing. Absolutely no way of knowing. So I just look at that as like, okay, somebody said this, somebody said that. It's bad for this guy. I wish he'd be released but I think he's going to be part of some negotiations it looks like.

So I would say that Tucker did a great job of news, but if you're treating it like news you probably shouldn't. You should treat it more like entertainment. Entertainment-wise I liked it. But my take is that whole history lesson was a little unhinged and he didn't read the room and it showed he's a little out of touch. And his thought that somebody needs to talk to him, you know, he's offered too many peace plans already so somebody's going to have to come to him, that just seems small, you know. So I don't think Putin came off well. I thought Tucker did and he's going to get a ton of pushback on this.

All right. So was there anything else to say about that? It was entertaining. I don't think it made much news. Oh let me, one other thing. I saw some numbers about how many people watched it. And so all right, here's some numbers. So just for comparison so you see how well Tucker is doing. Fox News prime time viewers average about 2 million viewers. When Tucker was on Fox his show brought in over 3 million. So even so Tucker was the big traffic guy on Fox at the moment. MSNBC averages 1.2 million. CNN averages under 600,000 for any moment they're watching. And then this tweet I was looking at said that Tucker already had 93 million views. Now is that a good comparison? 93 million views versus you know 2 or 3 million for the, did we do the math right? No, no. Everything's wrong with that math. Everything's wrong with it. Number one, I turned that on and then turned it off five times yesterday because I would watch a little bit, I get interrupted, I go back to it. How many views do I have? Is that one view or am I five views? Do you know? I don't know. So if you don't know that you could be off by a factor of three or five. Number two, when you say that CNN has 600,000 viewers that means for one moment. But that 600,000 isn't the same 600,000 watching it all day. The next hour will be a new 600,000 mostly, etc. So you should look at a full day or two of CNN to compare to a full day or two of people watching this live stream. Am I right? Next, the business model of Fox and MSNBC and CNN is not about the time that you spend online. My view of these networks is that the live show on the news is really just a clip show. All they're doing is creating content that then gets pushed around social media and gets pushed to their websites and it makes them credible enough that cable needs to include them in their network so they get paid by the cable companies. They don't really get paid by the advertising. Did you ever wonder why the advertising on Fox News was so lame? It's like, hey I'm selling a pocket knife. You're like really? That's like a major advertiser? How about MyPillow? It's because the advertising is not where they make their money. They make their money by saying to the cable operators you can't have our show unless you pay us a bunch of money. So the money comes from the cable operators and the carriers, the dishes and stuff like that. So if you were to include CNN's full reach which includes their entire show all day, all the clips that go on social media and get passed around and then who goes to their website, and then you take maybe the 93 million is really one third of that because people just signing in and signing out, those numbers are a lot closer than you think. Now I still think it's true that Tucker's numbers are much bigger but it's not that much bigger. It's not 100 times bigger. It's more like it might be double, could be double, could be triple. But don't trust these numbers. So the only thing here is basically all numbers.

All right. Here's the best. Let's talk about the report from the special prosecutor. Here's his name. I think it's funny that Biden was being investigated by a pronoun. The guy's last name is Hur. But you got investigated by a pronoun. And here's the summary of it. So the summary is he absolutely did with willfulness. He willingly and knowingly took confidential materials that he wasn't supposed to take. So now that's what you get prosecuted for, right? He knew he was doing it and he knew that it was confidential and he wasn't supposed to do it. So why aren't they prosecuting him? Well it appears that he did not remember a lot of things such as when his son Beau died. And he was an elderly man with a poor memory. He has significant limitations and a jury would be sympathetic. And that he didn't possess the mental state of willfulness necessary to prosecute. Wait, if he didn't have the mental state of willfulness that means he's just not capable. He's not competent.

Now what did MSNBC say about this news? That's the worst news that they could ever have. Well you have to watch MSNBC today. You're missing a good show because they're trying to find a way to downplay the fact that the special prosecutor said he's not going to prosecute, not entirely because of but largely because of the person he wants to prosecute isn't mentally capable of standing in trial and looking like somebody who would know he committed a crime. So here's what MSNBC is saying. Well there's a little editorializing in that, isn't there? Editorializing. So they want you to think that Hur should have only been talking about the law and it was inappropriate for him to speculate on the mental state of Joe Biden. What, he's no medical doctor. And how weird is it that you would even consider what the defense would be when putting together your decision to prosecute? To which I say how dumb do you think the MSNBC viewers are? The only decision you make when you're going to prosecute is what the defense would look like. That's not the thing you forget. It's the main thing. The main thing is what's the defense? Oh he has an alibi on video with 100 people. Oh he's mentally incapable. Oh well he wouldn't get convicted. It's the main thing you think about is what the defense would look like. And they're selling it to their viewers as an irrelevant part of the decision and their viewers are so dumb they're buying that. I assume some of them.

And then one of them is saying that it's standard legal advice to tell your client to say you don't remember something when you're being questioned. Now is that true? Is it standard advice? Yes it is standard advice if you're not totally sure or it's not going to help you in some way. See I don't know, I don't remember. And you see that all the people who do have all their faculties do that, right? Now given that that's normal and anybody who's been in that business knows it's sort of normal for the person you're talking to to say well I don't remember that, I don't remember that. But don't you think Hur and his team are completely aware of that? Don't you think they know the difference between somebody saying you know I don't remember and somebody saying they don't remember when their son died or when they were vice president? Yeah, you don't think he could tell the difference between just somebody using legal advice and somebody who doesn't know what room he's in? Yeah I think you can tell the difference.

Lawrence O'Donnell said that the prosecutor doesn't understand the human mind and that's why he failed to understand that under a pressure situation such as the president being grilled that the pressure makes you forget stuff. So Lawrence O'Donnell says yeah it's for some reason the prosecutor doesn't understand, even though it's his very business as expertise and it's what he's done for years, that he doesn't understand the human mind and how it's harder to answer questions in that situation. But it didn't seem to bother everybody else. Seems like everybody else who gets asked questions does a pretty good job. And they're of course focusing on the fact that he's cleared of all charges without mentioning why he's cleared of all charges. Totally different than the Trump situation. Yeah. Now the one difference is that Trump allegedly obstructed and Joe Biden allegedly did not. Who knows.

All right. So Biden wanted to defend his brain so he had to go in public and act like he's not crazy. And Bill Maher posted this. He said that Biden expressed visible anger with the reporters while defending his memory and mental acuity. He then said the president of Mexico refused to open up humanitarian corridors into the Gaza Strip. That's a high quality post right there. This is such a good post I'm going to read it again from Bill Maher at Fox. Biden expressed visible anger with reporters while defending his memory and mental acuity. He then said the president of Mexico refused to open up humanitarian corridors into the Gaza Strip. As Ran all humorously pointed out about that same exchange, going to build a wall with Gaza and make Mexico pay for it. And boy are they going to be confused. Now that's a good post too.

Now I've never had so much fun with the news watching the Democrats try to protect Biden as he's disintegrating. It's kind of fun and I don't want it to end right away. I want him to go all the way. Yeah we'll talk about the alternatives but I really at this point I do want him to go all the way because now it's just funny and I'm not going to stop laughing no matter how long this goes. Now should I feel more empathy because he's degraded? Normally yes. But he's made himself literally my enemy. And if my enemy is mentally degraded I'm going to laugh at that. I'm going to mock him because he's my enemy. Why don't you let Peter Navarro out of jail and then we'll talk about me not mocking your brain dead president. How about that? But I'm going to mock the out of him certainly as long as Peter Navarro is in jail. You know I think that's fair game.

And then Joe Biden said he defended his ability to bring everybody together. He said I said I'm going to be president for everybody whether you live in a red state or a green state. A red state or a green state. He's doing great. This all happened yesterday. This one day of gaffes. All right. But luckily the media is being totally objective and covering it the way they should. For example the LA Times has an article headline says age matters. And I'm thinking there we go. The LA Times, age matters. This is about Biden. I'm thinking finally a little bit of sanity. Age matters. Which is why Biden's age is his superpower. That's the rest of the title. Age matters. That's why Biden's age is his superpower. They really did that. The LA Times. Now I will remind you that they cancelled me but I was happy to be cancelled by the LA Times because they have the least credible news on this coast.

All right. You need to talk about Michelle Obama because Vivek Ramaswamy thinks Michelle Obama is going to swoop in and take the job of candidate. And apparently Glenn Beck has predicted it as well. Now you might say to me Scott, you're a big Vivek Ramaswamy supporter and if he is so darn sure that Michelle Obama's coming in, doesn't that persuade you that she's coming in? No, not even a little bit. Not even the slightest amount. I'm with Karl Rove all the way. And I don't always agree with Karl Rove but Karl Rove says she hates politics. There's just no way it's going to happen. And I say you would have seen a lot of foreshadowing if this were even a possibility. A lot of foreshadowing. You would have seen something like a listening tour, right? You know it would be Michelle Obama saying you know our country is very divided. I'm going to go on a listening tour just to see what people think. You know maybe that'll help. And then I would say yeah maybe she's preparing. Or you would hear somebody say yeah we saw a meeting of all these advisers and they met with her. Then I would say well we don't know what she will say but they're pushing for it. There is no evidence whatsoever that Michelle Obama is going to be a candidate. So I'm going to go hard now.

Let's see your opinions. Give me your opinions. How many of you are yes or no on Michelle Obama running for president on this election cycle? Yeah she has no reason to. Right? Yep. Yep. All right. So we can disagree on that but you know I guess I really do have the Karl Rove opinion that it seems so preposterous that I can't even talk about it. Like I feel it's like a waste of energy to even talk about it because it's so imaginary. However now that I've put myself all in the line and if I'm wrong about this I'd be amazed. I would say my level of certainty about her not running is it's the highest for any prediction I've ever made. It's the highest level of certainty for what that's worth. Yeah this is not a coin flip for me. For me this is 99.9 percent likely she's not running.

All right. Meanwhile after the border bill got shot down because it was a complete garbage and our government seems to not be working at all, there's a new Senate bill that got voted 67 to 32 in favor of advancing it. So it's not passed. They're just advancing it. A 95 billion dollar foreign package for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza and Taiwan. Seriously? We're going to give money to four countries that are not the United States in the middle of an invasion? How does that make sense? How does that make sense? And apparently Republicans also voted for it. Not big numbers but quite a few. I don't trust any Republican who voted for this. I would have to assume something else is going on with them. So I looked at the list. As a citizen I feel like I needed to know the names on the list that voted for it. I don't do that. I do not do that usually. You'll hear like you know one dissident or something. Oh Romney didn't vote for it. But this time I actually spent time trying to memorize all the names on the list, the Republicans, because I feel like I need to know that whoever voted for this is not on my team. I don't know what team they're on but you need to know their names. So learn their names for good reason.

And Taiwan, what the hell are we doing for Taiwan? Are you telling me Taiwan doesn't have enough money? I thought Taiwan was doing okay. They've run out of money? They need our money? That makes no sense.

All right. How many of you listened to the audio? It was fascinating of the Supreme Court slapping around the state of Colorado who wants to take Trump off the ballot because they say he was involved in an insurrection which would disqualify him according to the 14th Amendment they say. But the Supreme Court seemed to have the opinion that him not participating in the insurrection, which didn't actually happen in reality, you know might not be enough to get him in trouble here. So I feel like, if you listen to the judges asking the questions of the Colorado people, I finally got some of my faith back in the United States. And especially when I was hearing the liberal justices just hammering on these Colorado lawyers and they were just purely on the Constitution. So here's what I thought I might hear because I haven't listened to a lot of Supreme Court conversations but we know that the rulings often come down pretty close to party lines. You know the liberals go one way and the others go another way. So I thought I was going to hear a bunch of bias. I thought that when the liberal justices were talking they would ask questions that would suggest you know they wanted to go one way if they could make it happen. Nothing like that happened.

So Justice, you're going to have to help me with the name, Ketanji Jackson or I'll just say Justice Jackson. I tuned in when she was talking and I didn't know much about her but boy do I have more respect for her after listening to her talking to the lawyers. I thought she was really sharp, on target, completely compatible with the Constitution, seemed to be right where I wanted it to be. So I'll tell you again, I've said this a number of times, the only thing protecting the United States from collapse is that the Supreme Court still has some credibility. And I thought that it was improved yesterday. I thought the Supreme Court looked a little bit better yesterday and that made me feel good. Now we don't have the ruling yet, right? When is the ruling coming? Ruling will come soon. So we think it'll allow Trump to stay on the ballot.

And then Trump says in his statement about it he says every one of these cases you see comes out of the White House. It comes out of Biden. It's election interference and it's really sad. You know normally I would say you know don't call everything election interference you know because you could spread that to everything but I think he's right. It does seem to me that there is a White House coordinated lawfare approach which doesn't seem related to actual laws. It does seem like the intention is purely to keep Trump off the ballot which I would consider election interference at this level. So if it was a little bit, let's say it was one lawsuit or let's say it was one court case and let's say it was pretty solid I wouldn't call that election interference. But if you have this full court press, every possible legal thing you can do and you can be pretty confident that it's coordinated by the White House, to me that looks full on. I mean it's not just election interference, it's organized election interference. So this is the very crime that they're accusing Trump of, insurrection. To me this looks like an insurrection. Looks like election interference. Yeah. And I would suggest that no matter what happens just claim that you don't remember. That seems to work.

Now the big question about the court case is who decides when an insurrection has occurred? Who gets to decide an insurrection occurred? Because there's no ruling that an insurrection occurred which is why it's smart that the Republican members are leading some members of the House to do a resolution saying it wasn't an insurrection. And I think that's good because if you have no court ruling that says it is one but you have members of Congress doing a resolution that says it's not one, that's a pretty strong frame.

All right ladies and gentlemen I told you I was going to talk about Israel's persuasion. Apparently they have a new slogan over there: total victory. So total victory is, and they're putting it on hats and apparently the hats are just being really popular. And Prime Minister Netanyahu is using it and uses it a lot. So he's repeating it every time he goes. Now what do you think of that as a persuasive slogan or branding of their efforts in Gaza? Do you think that's strong or weak? Total victory sounds sort of ordinary, right? When you first hear it it's like well everybody says that, right? Doesn't everybody want to win total victory? But it's more than that. It's more than that. And here's why. The biggest challenge that Netanyahu has is everybody who's not Israel saying hey, hey why don't you negotiate a little bit? Why don't you do a little ceasefire? You know maybe trade some prisoners, stuff like that. And there's a lot to say no to if you're Netanyahu and you want to really, really completely defeat Hamas which is what he wants to do. You don't want to be arguing every little point. You want to just say no, total victory. Because you know what, we all know what that looks like.

Let me give you a test. Do you think that it will end with Hamas back in power in some limited way? No that would not be total victory. Do you think it'll end with some armed Hamas people still in the tunnels who could then emerge and maybe reform their movement? No. As long as there's even one of them left in a tunnel they don't have total victory. So the beauty of the frame is that it's so clarifying. You know what does it look like? Does it look like Hamas wins anything? Do they get anything after this? No. No. The answer is nothing. Total victory. Total victory. What about would Hamas control the education system? Or let's say people who changed their name from Hamas and said oh I'm not Hamas anymore now I'm just something else but I'll be in charge of your school system and we'll train the kids to have the same attitude we had. Nope that would not be total victory. That would look like losing to me.

So I think total victory has not only some callbacks to Winston Churchill so it might remind you of that. That would be a good comparison. But I think it clarifies that they're not going to talk about the details. Israel is going to have total victory as they define it. And if you have any questions whatsoever if it's a gray area, no they want that too. There's no gray area. If it's not total victory you know exactly what that looks like and you know what total victory looks like. So you could argue you know should they go for it or not but in terms of persuasion the framing is perfect. So that's exactly what I would have done in that situation.

Now suppose you say but Scott is it really a negotiating position? It could end up that way but it would be the best negotiating position you could ever have. No, total victory. That's my position. Nope, nope, nope. Total victory. So I think it's pretty strong and I think you're going to see more of it.

And that ladies and gentlemen concludes my show for the day. I think you're all smarter and happier. And I literally recommend watching MSNBC today for the humor. It's absolutely hilarious watching them spin around with all the latest news about Biden. I actually want Biden to last now. I think I said that earlier. It makes sense to replace him. If I were a Democrat I'd replace him as soon as possible if they can. But I really hope they don't. I would like him to actually be the person that Trump faces and then if they try to rig the election hypothetically it's going to be really obvious. It's going to be really obvious.

All right. That's all I got for today. Thanks for joining on the X platform and Rumble and YouTube. Go forth and have a great day today and a great weekend and I will see the locals people on the main tonight. The rest of you I'll see tomorrow morning. Thanks for joining.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization wow do we have a show today I feel sorry for everybody who has a show later today after I've covered all the interesting things there'll be nothing else to say but if you'd like this experience to go up to levels that we can't even understand with our tiny human brain all you need is a cup or mug or glass a tanker chalis or Stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultanous Sip and it happens now go oh so good so good well I'm going to get start with some pallet cleansers but of course I will be talking about the Supreme Court case about Colorado and Trump and of course the Putin interview with Tucker and we'll talk about Biden's brain and uh at the end I'm going to talk about some persuasion that Israel is using quite successfully so wait for that that'll be toward the end all right well I saw a AI researcher James Zhao I hope pronouncing that correctly he thinks AI models are getting substantially worse over time and potentially it's because of a result of interacting with humans now I would like to remind you that I'm I think I might be the only person who is predicting that AI will hit a a wall it's just it's going to hit a top and that it probably already did now that's not to say that AI won't keep getting better at image generation and playing chess and doing math and writing code and translating languages it's going to do a whole bunch of things really well um but I don't think it's going to get smarter in the way that people think of smart you know like I said it it'll do tasks that are you know automated kinds of things like math uh it'll do a lot of things faster but here's what I think I think humans will find ways to it and and keep it from getting smarter than us because if if AI gets smarter than us we will lose all our power do you know what I mean all of the rest of the news that I'm going to talk to about today are things that we can't agree on what if AI got smart enough that it could tell us what was true we wouldn't put up with that that we would immediately say it's broken we'd turn it off we'd reprogram it because the people who are wrong are often in charge so they're not going to put up with AI telling them they're all wrong and everything is stupid and it's a bad idea imagine just taking everything that Joe Biden has done this year put it in front of AI that everybody agreed with smarter than people and then the AI says you know these are a bunch of bad ideas and it's pretty obvious you should get rid of him under the 25th Amendment what are you going to do with that are you going to say well I'm glad we got a smart AI it just told us what to do then we'll go do that nope you're going to say the AI is broken you're going to say the AI is biased you're going to say the other side programmed it and you're going to do what you think is right and by the way that AI must be getting Dumber yeah so listen to this the US Department of Commerce announced the launch of the AI safety Institute Consortium uh it already has 200 stakeholders including open AI Google anthropic and meta and they're all there to come up with safe safe uh development procedures for AI is there anything else I need to tell you to convince you that AI will be ruined by human activity it's a committee it's a committee to decide how to keep it safe what do you think that's going to include I'm just going to take a guess let me take a wild guess the committee to keep AI safe is going to build Dei into it because there's nothing safer than diversity it's going to build CRT and ESG into it because we all like Equity it's going to make sure that it doesn't say anything that offends every anybody so that gets rid of everything useful and it's going to make sure it doesn't disagree with anybody who's got power in the United States because that would be very unsettling so it can't do anything useful provocative or outside the outside the domain that we think is safe what's that sound like it sounds exactly like a censorship on the internet why would AI be different we we've eliminated human free speech by saying we're trying to keep ourselves safe that happened right in front of you we all watched it we're going to keep you safe and to do that we better get rid of your free speech about whatever you think about these vaccinations and whatever you think about masks you better get rid of that Free Speech it's going to happen to AI you think AI is going to be the only entity that can have free speech because imagine this imagine imagine I say you know there's some things I would certainly never say but here's my here's my AI to tell you its opinion it's not my opinion it's the AI talking there's no way that will be allowed we don't have a system that that would allow AI to get smarter than us and that's not a very high bar except as I say coding and math and playing chess and stuff it'll be great at that all right here's some fake science dat J bakara you know him from being right about everything about the pandemic um he he tweets that the CDC commissioned scientists to see if n95 masks work better than S surgical masks for healthc care workers now we're not talking about the pandemic we're talking about ordinary medical procedures now I I don't know why they needed to study this am I right because every I'm just spent the last three years being told over and over and over again the n95s work you know I'm not talking about Co but they work in the medical context but those regular little ones that we wore you know they're not going to perform as well what do you think the science said science said no difference let me say that again after three years of listening to every expert in the world tell us that you know one the one thing we know for sure like we might be guessing and speculating a lot of things but there is one thing we know for sure outside of the context of Co you know with regular medical stuff the n95s work and those other ones well you know kind of not so well turns out nothing like that was the case and so what did the CDC do when it commissioned a highquality study and it came back saying there was no difference the CDC decided to ignore the evidence because they didn't like the answer and so they told the scientists that they were wrong so how about AI we just did a high quality study and then the people who didn't like the answer said the study must be wrong because was opposite of what they expected do you think AI is going to get treated differently the moment AI tells us something we don't want to hear we're going to reprogram it we're not going to say wow that AI sure got smarter than us nope nope we don't work that way that's just not a human activity all right uh Sam mman raising money for super AI chips he thinks he might need 7 trillion do what what were you doing today like I I think I'm all important because I got a little podcast going on here oh look at me I got a couple thousand people looking at me I'm really killing it today what's Sam mman doing he's raising uh7 trillion dollar for the most transformative technology in the history of humankind and that's okay too so I mean I'm sure what you did today was good too oh it's all about the same Equity I say well Peter Navaro is not getting bail while he's appealing his conviction for uh not not submitting to Congress to testify uh do you see something terribly wrong with this as in maybe if he'd beaten up some police officers he would get out faster like literally he should have assaulted a police officer because I hear if you do that you get out right away but he refused to participate in a corrupt process as he saw it and he doesn't get bailed to appeal it really it's not like he doesn't have an appeal I'm pretty sure he does I don't know what the basis would be I'm sure he has an appeal oh how do you how do you interpret this other than Republicans being put in jail and being haunted it's exactly what it looks like right the justice system is completely corrupt um do you know the host of The View named Sunny host yes she's a host named hoston you you really and the funny thing is that she's always negative and her name is sunny Hosten so she's literally hosting negativity but her name is sunny hoston but she's also very much F in favor of reparations she really likes the slavery reparations uh even now after doing a DNA test to find out that she's descended from Spanish slave Traders uh awkward awkward uh but even though she's descended from Spanish slave Traders she's still in favor of reparations but I believe she feels she should be exempt she didn't say that but I feel like that's the essence of it it's like I'm descended from Spanish slave Traders that's completely different you know who am I going to give reparations to anyway the somebody over in Spain so anyway consistency is not real big um I saw a Jennifer cabani tweet there's a US UCLA Professor who was suspended do you remember this story he was suspended for refusing to grade black students leniently after George George Floyd apparently there was a movement that black students should get uh inflated grades because of what happened to George Floyd and maybe it caused some distress he refused to do it and it ruined his career including his uh uh lucrative expert witness business on the side and so he's suing UCLA for $19 million Will he win I don't know it depends if the courts are completely corrupt but I think he might I think he might it's 2024 anything had happened um okay there's a a high school debate James Fishback is writing about this on on X uh the national speech and debate Association they eliminated a high school debate topic the topic was about Civil Disobedience and the reason that they didn't want to have the high school debate on civil disobedience was because uh it would put some students in a position of listening to arguments that they didn't align with that actually happened a high school debate was cancelled because I didn't want to put the students in a position of hearing an opinion that was opposite of their own okay sure well apparently the xplatform is going to have its own phone for audio and video and texting and um Elon mus says he's going to get rid of his regular phone and use only the xplatform for text in a month or so now correct me if I'm wrong how does that work does it work through the regular phone network because you'd have to have some connections just to have all the coverage I always wondered how other phone companies get access to the proprietary networks of exist ing uh people so I don't know how that work waiting for details but what if what if it worked for everybody I mean is it possible that for $20 a month I'll be able to make Unlimited phone calls is that going to happen because I think it might what would that do to the entire cell phone business and do you think it's obvious that elen mus is going to make a phone does it seem obvious like the most obvious thing is you should make a phone and it should be based on an AI model where it's not a bunch of apps it's just something you talk to I don't know I think that's coming um well so there's new new news that uh the loneliness epidemic is worse than we think and young people 15 to 24 reported a 70% drop in time spent with friends after the pandemic a 70% drop in spending time with friends young people and with the elderly it's even you know it's like critical but the the new information is that uh loneliness increases the risk of premature death by nearly 30% loneliness increases the risk of premature death that you call excess mortality by nearly 30% now it's science so I don't believe any science so I'm not sure any of that's true but do you believe that loneliness uh does have an impact on life expectancy yes or no as someone who has experienced it I would say it's obvious you you can feel the impact on your on your health it's just like being under a weighted blanket I mean you can't miss it I mean you can't miss it yeah so let me propose this excess mortality is fully explained by the excess loneliness the the extreme amount of extra loneliness if it does have this substantial impact on premature death is the only thing I can think of that would affect every person in the same way in other words every demographic from young to old every every race every gender because that's what excess mortality is doing the excess mortality is hitting everybody or every group not everybody but every group and I couldn't think of I was actually speculating it might be something with the food supply because if if the excess mortality were simply vaccinations that would be the easiest thing in the world to check you just say did you get vaccinated yes or no and then you sum up their excess mortality of that group so has anybody seen a study that says that the vaccinations caused the excess mortality where they where they actually studied as a control group if you've seen that Ascend it to me because I've only seen the ones that say that the entire population has excess mortality I've never seen anybody look at vaccinated versus unvaccinated so for excess Mor so if you've seen that let me know but I think this would explain all of it you know unless it was unless this it could be the study was funded by the makers of the the shots if that if that's true then I don't believe any of it but consider that that we have an obvious an obvious candidate for excess mortality that would be more to public policy wouldn't it so I think that the decision for the lockdowns may have be the entire excess mortality if we hadn't locked down we wouldn't be socially so you know push back all right I have a uh challenge to the anti-semites watching this show I know there are always some and it goes like this I need you to be more credible than the people who believe that aliens are visiting the Earth and that they're crashing their ships on a regular basis now the reason I don't believe aliens have come to Earth is because nobody seems to produce a piece of wreckage nobody who's seen it directly seems credible and the the whistleblowers tend to be people who talk to people who say they saw it and there's no good photograph now I'd like you to do take the same standard and apply it to your belief that there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy and here are the questions that you need to answer for me before I want to hear from you again okay now if you can answer these questions then your your hypothesis would have some weight but if you can't answer these questions ask yourself why question number one uh how can it be that the elites and Davos and the wef are really the ones in charge if it's also really the gigantic Jewish worldwide conspiracy or are you saying that one is a subset of the other so just be clear I'm not saying what is or isn't just be clear what do you believe and then explain to me how things would uh explain to me why there are no whistleblowers if there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy and we know that Jews don't seem to agree on anything like even even the the Jews living in Israel right now don't agree that there should be uh ongoing war with over in Gaza that's a pretty big thing to disagree on that's a pretty big disagreement they've got what 12 political parties because they don't agree on much they've got you in the United States you've got the conservative Jews you've got the liberal Jews you've got the the ones who are very pro Israel needs to be a country the others who say why is it a country so with all of those different kinds of Jews if you believe there's a world white conspiracy where they've really they've really buttoned it up and for hundreds of years we see seem to not be able to get a whistleblower explain why there's no whistleblower cuz you know they're not all in the same team you know that so not one of them not a not a single person is willing to say yeah I was in a meeting and I got to tell you worldwide conspiracy it's all we talk about how about an internal document we have internal documents for every damn thing for everything show me the the internal document where they plan their worldwide takeover how about uh how about this if you want to convince me there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy I want you to explain to me uh which culture you're aware of anywhere in the world in which the people with the best educations don't run things if there's one of those then that's a pretty good argument if you you can find me a country where the most educated demographic doesn't have all the power then I would say huh there's something weird going on in America because the most educated part of our public seems to have all the good jobs that would be very suspicious to me if the other countries found out that getting a good education really retards your ability to get a good job so explain to me how how America would look different if you accept it that the people with the best educations almost always have the power and you would want them to you would want them to we we literally go out of our way to elect people and promote people who are better educated so why would this be the exception why would this be the one time that the most educated people in America are not in charge they should be if everything is working in a perfectly normal way that's exactly what you would say so if you send me a big picture of how many Jewish people are in charge of Corporations especially the media I say that's what I would expect it to look like what would you expect it to look like if the only explanation was educated people get better jobs what how would that look right so that's my challenge to you let's talk about Tucker and Putin How many of you watched the Tucker interview Tucker Carlson with Vladimir Putin quite a few of you uh let me give you my summary summary of it and a few other thoughts um number one the question was is Putin like really really smart and he's all there and that's mostly what I'm seeing today I'm seeing a lot of smart observers saying that Putin guy he he really together and one of the evidences that people are using is that he gave a long history lesson uh as an answer to you know one of Tucker's first questions he gave an extended history lesson with dates and names and it was like a Thousand-Year history of Ukraine and Russia and how everything came to be and many of you use that as an example of how on the ball Putin is that he could do that to which I say uh I didn't see that at all you know obviously it's subjective but what I saw is somebody who couldn't read a room because wasn't the whole point of Putin talking to Tucker to convince non-russians he wasn't talking to Russia because Russia seems to be on his side he was talking to everybody not in Russia and if he believed that that Thousand-Year history lesson was persuasive to Americans that's just sort of dumb that that seems a little clueless to me it seems like not reading the room at all it feels like an old man who couldn't that nobody knows how to say no to so he's just going to ramble because he can it looked like he was showing off that he had a that he had a grasp of history and that showing off seemed to be his dominant motivation it did not seem like he was trying to convince anybody of anything which was stupid and absurd and it to me it looked like age related now I'm completely aware that you all disagree with me I I think maybe 5% saw it the way I saw it and here's my take and you will also disagree with this but I'm going to be uh I'm not going to back off it we've been looking at our president for a long time Biden if you have in your mind that Biden is what a president looks like and then you saw Putin it is quite natural that you would say my God Putin is well put together but you know compared to what we're seeing it's terrible if RFK Jr had been president for three years and every time he talked whether you agreed with him or not agreeing with him is different but every time he talked it was smart do you think that Putin would look so so clever then no it's a comparison thing now you're going to reject my frame you're going to say no Scott I'm not comparing him to Putin because I'm mentally not doing that I'm telling myself not to and I'm examining my own thoughts and I know I'm not I'm definitely not doing that well you're wrong because you can't not do it you can't turn it off you are only a comparison pattern recognizing machine machine you cannot make your brain be something it's not you compare things to other things period you don't know how to turn that off and if you were comparing Putin to anybody it was definitely Biden and you can't turn that feature off and so it will guarantee that you see Putin is better than he is because your comparison is so bad right so I think that's why I I think that reason I saw Putin looking old and looking like a a rattling on like an old man who didn't know that basically he couldn't read the room he he didn't seem to have a the facility to know what would come across more effectively now toward the end I'm going to talk about uh Israel and some persuasion that they're doing and you're going to see the difference all right you're going to see the difference between good persuasion and bad persuasion uh and that was bad persuasion I think Putin failed I think he looked nervous I thought I thought he looked somebody said this so I'm stealing this he looked like somebody who's not used to answering hard questions because he doesn't get them so um I don't know that we learned anything do do you think we learned anything was there any new stuff we we heard butin believes that the CIA blew up the nordstream pipeline if you were paying attention you already ble believe that to be true um he believes that there's some historical president that gives Russia some control over Ukraine he believes that NATO was the aggressor and you know they've been warned many times we kind of knew that um so I don't know that we learned anything new it wasn't news making um Putin says he tried to basically be on the same side as the United States and Europe a few times once with Bill Clinton in which he said do you think Russia would ever be able to join NATO which is funny um and Bill Clinton actually thought maybe so but his people told him no who do you think his people are who do you think told Bill Clinton no you cannot make peace with Russia so productively that they're actually part of our own military protection well I assume I assume it was the military industrial complex and I assume it's CU there are too many people who went to school to learn how to be uh spies against Russia I think it was just the Deep State said he can't do that so I think that Putin is telling us that even Clinton was not in charge and I think he's telling us that that uh Biden is not in charge and there seems to be a suggestion that maybe the CIA or some shadowy group is really running the country and uh but then the weirdest part is Putin kept claiming that he was acting sort of petulant that his offers to negotiate and things like that were were not taken seriously and at one point there was a Minsk agreement so he thought there was an agreement but then uh Boris Johnson shot it down now if only I had some way to do a Boris Johnson impression Boris Johnson shot it down and see um so why do you think Boris Johnson shot down something that looked like a reasonable agreement probably because whoever got to Bill Clinton also got to Boris Johnson you know not the exact same people but something like it so now we've seen several instances where the leaders or the people we thought were the leaders were all about the peace but they couldn't have the power to do it well why don't the leaders have power to make peace probably because it's exactly what you think it is they're not in charge at least of the war decisions all right uh let's see what else um and Putin you know pointed out that uh the CIA did a coup in Ukraine you know right in the right in the basically the front steps of Russia and uh what else let's see um how many how many people thought Tucker was scared he was going to be murdered at any minute so to his credit let let me say this unambiguously Tucker sat across from Putin and probably asked him the hardest questions he's ever been asked and was making Putin prettyy uncomfortable and I gotta say I saw a cartoon meme of uh of Tucker leaving the interview with a wheelbarrow to to carry his own balls because they were so big so I thought uh I thought Tucker did a good job however well let's talk more about that and then I'll give you the other side of the coin um so one of the things that tiger asked them is you know why don't you give us back that captive is it Wall Street Journal there's a there's a reporter over there that Russia says was a spy and uh Wall Street Journal reporter yeah young guy so they're holding in but they're but Putin was saying that that needs to be negotiated by the spies so he says his spies and America's spies need to work it out and it's probably going to be some kind of a deal where they get something we get something to get him back now his claim Putin's claim is that the guy is actually a spy and that whether he worked for anybody or not he was involved with getting secrets and passing them on do you think that's true do you think it's true that he got some secrets to pass him on or do you think that Putin just made up something so they could capture another American so they'd have more to negotiate who knows yeah you should not make any assumption about whether that's true my take on the entire thing is that Putin seemed to be lying at least half of the time that was my take it looked like he was lying at least half of the time now by lying I mean that he's leaving out context and not telling you the full story and spinning it you know that sort of thing so um let me let me give you this warning I've told you about what I call the documentary effect if you walk if you watch an hourong documentary and it's just taking one-sided point of view you will think you've been convinced you will always be convinced by a documentary because it doesn't show The Other Side well likewise if you saw Putin talking for two hours and you thought you learned something consider that it's the opposite consider that it made you dumber you got that because what Putin said was things you already knew but then there were a bunch of you know spinny things where there were things that it was the the Russian view if you believe you got smarter because you heard Putin talk it's the opposite yeah very the opposite he made you dumber because you might have believed some of the things he said and there they should not be believed because it's a documentary effect problem where there's nobody there to say yeah but what about this context and aren't you leaving this out and and those things so every one of you who thought wow after seeing that I have a different view of Putin that's a mistake that's a mistake you should have exactly the same view of Putin before the interview is after you know may maybe give or take whether you thought he was showing signs of age but that's different all right um I love the fact that Tucker put him on the spot on camera to ask him why you wouldn't free the journalist that was both ballsy and exactly the right thing to do because that guy can't be forgotten but you also have to take into account our own government lies to us routinely and we wouldn't know if he was a spy or not you wouldn't know do you do you think that guy's not a spy because your government told you really yeah our government said he's not a spy so oh he's not a spy now by the way I'm not saying he is that that would be messed up I don't know I'm saying there's no way to know and if you believe Putin you're stupid and if you believe the US version you're stupid one of those is right or more right than the other but you have no way of knowing no way of knowing absolutely no way of knowing so I just look at that as like okay somebody said this somebody said that it's bad for this guy I wish get I wish he'd be released but I think he's going to be part of some negotiations it looks like um so I would say that uh Tucker did a great job um of news but if you're treating it like news you probably shouldn't you should treat it more like entertainment entertainment wise I liked it um but my take is that whole uh history lesson was a little unhinged and he didn't read the room and it showed he's a little out of touch and his his his thought that somebody needs to talk to him you know he he's offered too many peace plans already so somebody's going to have to come to him that just seems small you know so I don't think I don't think Putin came off well uh I thought Tucker did and he's going to get a ton of push back on this all right so was there anything else to say about that it was entertaining I don't think made much news uh oh let me one other thing I saw some numbers about how many people watched it and so all right here's some numbers uh F so just for comparison so you see how well tuer is doing Fox News Prime Time viewers average uh about two million viewers when Tucker was on Fox his show brought in over three million so even soer was you know the big the big traffic Guy on Fox at the moment MSNBC averages 1.2 million CNN averages uh under 600,000 for any any moment they're watching and then uh this tweet I was looking at said that uh Tucker already 993 million views now is that a good comparison 93 million views versus you know two or three million for the did did we do the math right no no everything's wrong with that math everything's wrong with it number one uh I turned that on and then turned it off five times yesterday because I would I would watch a little little bit I get interrupted I go back to it how many how many views do I have is that one view or am I five views do you know I don't know so if you don't know that you could be off by you know a factor of three or five number two when you say that CNN has 600,000 viewers that means for one moment but that 600,000 isn't the same 600,000 watching it all day the next hour will be a new 600,000 mostly Etc so you should look at a full day or two of CNN to compare to a full day or two of people watching this live stream am I right next the business model of fox and MSNBC and CNN is not about the time that you spend online my view of these networks is that the show the live show on on the news is really just a clip show all they're doing is creating content that then gets pushed around social media and gets pushed to their websites and it makes them credible enough that cable cables need to include them in their Network so they get paid by the cable companies they don't really get paid by the advertising did you ever wonder why the advertising on Fox News was so lame it's like hey I'm selling a pocket knife you're like really that's like a major Advertiser how about my pillow it's because the advertising is not where they make their money they make their money by saying uh to the cable operators you can't have our show unless you pay us a bunch of money so the money comes from the cable operators and the the carriers the the dishes and stuff like that so um if you were to include CNN 's full reach which includes their entire show all day all the clips that go on social media and get passed around and then who goes to their website and then you take maybe the 93 million is really oneth of that because people just signing in and signing out those numbers are a lot closer than you think now I I I still think it's true that um Tucker's numbers are much bigger but it's not that much bigger it's not 100 times bigger it's more like it might be double could be double could be triple but don't trust these numbers so the only thing here is a less none numbers basically all right here's the uh best um let's let's talk about the uh um the report from the special prosecutor her is his name I think it's funny that uh that Biden Biden was being investigated by a pronoun the guy's last name is herror H but you got investigated by a pronoun and uh here's the uh here's here's the uh I guess the summary of it so the summary is he absolutely uh did uh with willfulness he willingly and knowingly took confidential materials that he wasn't supposed to take so now that's what you get prosecuted for right he knew he was doing it and he knew that it was confidential and he wasn't supposed to do it so why aren't they Prosecuting him well it appears that uh he did not remember a lot of things such as when his son Bo died and he was an elderly man with a poor memory he has significant limitations and uh jury would be sympathetic uh and that he didn't possess the mental state of willfulness necessary to prosecute wait if he didn't he didn't have the he didn't have the mental state of willfulness that means he's just not capable he's not competent now what did MSNBC say about this news that's the worst news that they could ever have well you have to watch MSNBC today you're missing a good show because they're they're trying to find a way to downplay the fact that the special prosecutor said he's not going to prosecute not entirely because of but largely because of the person he wants to prosecute isn't mentally capable of standing end in trial and looking like somebody who would know he met he committed a crime so here's what MSNBC is saying well there's a little editorializing in that isn't there editorializing so they want you to think that her should have only been talking about the the law and it was inappropriate for him to speculate on the mental state of Joe Biden what he's no medical doctor and and how weird is it that you would even consider what the defense would be when putting together your decision to prosecute to which I say how dumb do you think the MSNBC viewers are the only decision you make when you're going to prosecute is what the defense would look like that's not the thing you forget it's the main thing the main thing is what's the defense oh he has an Al bu on video with 100 people oh he's mentally incapable oh well he wouldn't get convicted it's the main thing you think about is what the defense would look like and they're selling it to their viewers as an irrelevant part of the decision and their viewers are so dumb they're buying that I assume some of them um let's see uh and then uh one of them is saying that it's standard legal advice to tell your client to say you don't remember something when you're being questioned now is that true is it standard advice yes it is standard advice if you're not totally sure or it's not going to help you in some way see I don't know I don't remember and you see that all the people who do have all their faculties do that right now given that that's normal and and anybody who's been in that business knows it's sort of normal for the person you're you're talking to to say well I don't remember that I don't remember that but don't you think her and his team are completely aware of that don't you think they know the difference between somebody saying you know I don't remember and somebody saying they don't remember when their son died or when they were Vice President yeah you don't think he could tell the difference between just somebody using legal advice and somebody who doesn't know what room he's in yeah I think you can tell the difference uh Lawrence O'Donnell said that the prosecutor doesn't understand the human mind and and that's why he failed to understand that under a pressure situation such as the president being you know grilled that the pressure makes you forget stuff so Lawrence O'Donnell says yeah it's for some reason the prosecutor doesn't understand even though it's his very business as expertise and it's what he's done for years uh that he doesn't understand the human mind and how it's harder to answer questions in that situation but it didn't seem to bother everybody else seems like everybody else who ask gets answered asked questions does a pretty good job uh and they're and they they're of course focusing on the fact that he's cleared of all charges without mentioning why he's cleared of all charges totally different than the Trump situation yeah now the one difference is that Trump allegedly obstructed and Joe Biden allegedly did not who knows um all right so Biden wanted to defend his brain so he had to go in public and act like he's not crazy and Bill maluan posted this he said that Biden expressed visible anger with the reporters while defending his memory and mental acuity he then said the president of Mexico refused to open up humanitarian corridors into the Gaza Strip that's a high quality post right there this is such a good post I'm going to read it again from Bill malan at Fox uh Biden expressed visible anger with reporters while defending his memory and mental acuity he then said the president of Mexico refused to open up humanitarian corridors into the Gaza Strip uh as ran all humorously pointed out about that same exchange going to build a wall with Gaza and make Mexico pay for it and boy are they going to be confused now that's a good post too now I've never had so much fun with the news watching the Democrats try to protect Biden as he's as he's disintegrating it's kind of fun and I don't want it to end right away I I want want him to go all the way yeah we'll talk about the Alternatives but I really at this point I do want him to go all the way because now it's just funny and I'm not going to stop laughing no matter how how long this goes now should I feel more empathy because he's degraded normally yes but he's made himself literally my enemy and if my enemy is is mentally degraded I'm going to laugh at that I'm going to Mo him because he's my enemy you you why don't you let Peter Navaro out in jail and then we'll we'll talk about me not mocking your brain dead president how about that but I'm G to mock the out of him certainly as long as Peter Navaro was in jail you know I think that's fair game uh let's see what else uh and then Joe Biden said uh he defended his uh his ability to bring every everybody together he said I said I'm going to be president for everybody whether you live in a red state or a green State a red state or a green State he's doing great this all happened yesterday this one day of gaffs all right but luckily the media is being totally objective and covering it uh the way they should for example the LA times has a article headline says age matters and I'm thinking there we go the LA Times age matters this is about Biden I'm thinking finally a little bit of Sanity age matters which is why Biden's age is his superpower that's the rest of the title age matters that's why that's why Biden's age is the superpower they really did that the LA Times now I will remind you that they cancelled me but I was happy to be cancelled by the LA times because they have the least credible news on this Coast all right you need to talk about Melle Obama because V ramaswami thinks Michelle Obama is GNA swoop in and take the job of candidate and apparently Glenn Beck has as a addicted it as well now you might say to me Scott you're a big VI ramas Swami supporter and uh if he is so darn sure that Michelle Obama's coming in uh doesn't that persuade you that she's coming in no not even a little bit not even the slightest amount I'm I'm with Carl Rove all the way and I don't don't always agree with Carl Rove but but Carl Ro says she hates politics there's just no way it's going to happen and I say you would have seen a lot of foreshadowing If This Were even a possibility a lot of foreshadowing you would have seen something like a listening tour right you know it would be Michelle Obama saying you know uh our country is very divided uh I'm going to go on a listening just to see what people think you know maybe that'll help and then I would say yeah maybe she's preparing or you would hear somebody say uh yeah we saw a meeting of all these advisers and they met with her then I would say well we don't know what she will say but they're they're pushing for it there is no evidence whatsoever that Michelle Obama is going to be a candidate so I'm going to go hard now hard now uh let's see your opinions give me your opinions how many of you are yes or no on um Michelle Obama running for president on this election cycle yeah she has no reason to right yep yep all right so we can disagree on that but um you know I guess I I really do have the Carl Ro opinion that it seems so Preposterous that I can't even talk about it like I feel it's like a waste of energy to even like talk about it because it's so imaginary however now that I've put myself all in the line and if if I'm wrong about this I'd be amazed I would say my level of certainty about her not running is it's the highest for any prediction I've ever made it's the highest level of certainty for what that's worth yeah this is not a coin flip for me for me this is 99.9% likely she's not running all right uh meanwhile after the Border bill got shot down because it was a complete garbage and our government seems to not be working at all uh there's a new Senate bill that got voted 67 to 32 in favor of advancing it so it's not pass they're just advancing it a 95 billion doll foreign a package for Ukraine Israel Gaza and Taiwan seriously we're going to give money to four countries that are not the United States in the middle of a Invasion how does that make sense how does that make sense and apparently Republicans uh also voted for it not big numbers but quite a few uh I don't trust any I don't trust any Republican who voted for this I I I would have to assume something else is going on with them so I looked at the list a as a citizen I feel like I needed to know the names on the list that voted for it I don't do that I do not do that usually you'll hear like you know one dissident or something oh Romney didn't vote for it but this time I actually spent time trying to memorize all the names on the list the Republicans because I feel like I need to know that whoever voted for this is not on my team I don't know what team they're on but you need to know their names so learn their names for good reason um and Taiwan what the hell are we doing for Taiwan are you telling me Taiwan doesn't have enough money I thought Taiwan was doing okay they're run out of money they need our money that makes no sense all right um how many of you listened to the audio it was fascinating of the Supreme Court slapping around the state of Colorado who wants to take Trump off the ballot because they say he was involved in an Insurrection which would disqualify him according to the 14th Amendment they say but the Supreme Court seemed to have the opinion that um he not participating in the Insurrection which didn't actually happen in reality um you know might not be enough to to get to get up in trouble here uh so I feel like uh let's see oh if you listen to the judges asking the questions of the Colorado people uh I finally got some of my faith back in the United States and especially when I was hearing the liberal justices uh just hammering on these Colorado lawyers and they were just purely on the Constitution so here's what I thought I might hear because I I haven't listened to a lot of Supreme Court conversations but we know that the rulings often come down pretty close to party lines you know the Liberals go one way and the the others go another way so I thought I was going to hear a bunch of bias I thought that when the liberal justices were talking they would ask questions that would suggest you know they they wanted to go one way if they could make it happen nothing like that happened so judge uh you're going to have to help me with the name katania Jackson or I'll just say justice Jackson um I tuned in when she was talking and I didn't know much about her but boy do I have more respect for after listening to her um talking to the lawyers I thought she was really sharp on target completely compatible with the Constitution seemed to be right where I wanted it to be so I'll tell you again I've said this a number of times the only thing protecting the United States from collapse is that the Supreme Court still has some credibility and I thought that it was improved yesterday I thought the Supreme Court looked a little bit better yesterday and uh that made me feel good now we we don't have the ruling yet right when is the ruling coming ruling will come um soon so we we think it'll allow uh Trump to stay on the the ballot all right um and then Trump says in his statement about it he says uh every one of these cases you see comes out of the White House it comes out of Biden it's election interference and it's really sad you know normally I would say you know don't call everything election interference you know because you could spread that to everything but I think he's right it does seem to me that there is a White House coordinated uh lawfare approach which doesn't seem related to actual laws it does seem like the intention is purely to keep Trump off the ballot which I would consider election interference at this level so if it was a little bit let let's say it was one lawsuit or let's say it was one court case and let's say it was pretty solid I wouldn't call that election interference but if you have this you know full core press every possible legal thing you can do and you're you can be pretty confident that it's coordinated by the White House to me that looks full Rico I mean it's not just election interference is organized election interference so this is the very crime that they're accusing Trump of insurrection to me this looks like an Insurrection looks like election interference yeah and I would suggest that um that no matter what happens just claim that you don't remember that seems to work now the big the big question about the uh court case is who decides when an Insurrection has occurred who gets to decide an Insurrection occurred because there's no ruling that an Insurrection occurred which is why it's smart that uh the Republican members are like G is leading some members of the house to do a resolution saying it wasn't a Insurrection and I think that's good because if you have no Court ruling that says it is one but you have members of Congress doing a resolution that says it's not one that's a pretty strong frame all right ladies and gentlemen I told you I was going to talk about Israel's uh persuasion apparently they have a new Logan over there total Victory so total Victory is and they're putting it on hats and apparently the hats are just being really popular and president Netanyahu um no president what is Netanyahu prime minister Nan yahu um is using it and uses a lot so he's repeating it every time he goes now what do you think of that as a persuasive SL Logan or branding of their efforts in Gaza do you think that's strong or weak total Victory sound sounds sort of ordinary right when you first hear it it's like well everybody says that right doesn't everybody want to win total Victory but it's more than that it's more than that and here's why the the biggest challenge that nanan yahu has is everybody who's not Israel saying hey hey why don't you negotiate a little bit what why why don't you do a little ceasefire you know maybe trade some prisoners stuff like that and there's a lot to say no to if you're Netanyahu and you want to really really completely defeat Hamas which is what he wants to do you don't want to be arguing every little point you want to just say no total Victory CU you know what we all know what that looks like let me give you a test um do you think that it will end with Hamas back in power in some limited way no that would not be total Victory do you think it'll end with some armed Hamas people still in the tunnels who could then emerge and maybe reform their movement no as long as there's even one of them left in a tunnel they don't have total Victory so so the beauty of the frame is that it's so clarifying you know what does it look like does it look like um you know Hamas wins anything do do they get anything after this no no the answer is nothing total Victory total Victory what about um would Hamas control the education system or let's say people who changed their name from Hamas and said oh I'm not Hamas anymore now I'm just something else uh but I'll be in charge of your school system and we'll train the kids to have the same attitude we had nope that would not be total victory that would look like losing to me so I think total victory has not only some call backs to Winston Church Hill so it might remind you of that that would be a good you know a good uh comparison but I think it clarifies that they're not going to talk about the details Israel is going to have total Victory as they Define it and if you have any questions whatsoever if it's a gray area no they want that too there's no gray area if it's not total Victory you know exactly what that looks like and you know what total Victory looks like so you could argue you know should they go for it or not but in terms of persuasion the uh I think the framing is perfect so that's exactly what I would have done in that situation now suppose you say but Scott is it really a negotiating position it could end up that way but it would be the best negotiating position you could ever have no total Victory that's my position nope nope nope total Victory so I think it's pretty strong and I think you're going to see more of it um and that ladies and gentlemen concludes my show for the day I think you're all smarter and happier um I and I I literally recommend watching MSNBC today for the humor is absolutely hilarious watching them spin around with all the latest news about Biden uh I actually want Biden to last now I think I said that earlier it makes sense to replace him if I were a Democrat I'd replace him as soon as possible if they can um but I really hope they don't I I would like him to actually be the person that Trump faces and then if they try to rig the election hypothetically it's going to be really obvious it's gonna be really obvious all right uh that's all I got for today thanks for joining on the xplatform and Rumble and You.

Tube uh go forth and have a great day today and a great weekend and I will see the locals people on the man tonight the rest of you I'll see tomorrow morning thanks for joining

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human

civilization wow do we have a show today

I feel sorry for everybody who has a

show later today after I've covered all

the interesting things there'll be

nothing else to say but if you'd like

this experience to go up to levels that

we can't even understand with our tiny

human brain

all you need is a cup or mug or glass a

tanker chalis or Stein a canteen jug or

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee and

join me now for the unparallel pleasure

the dopamine here the day thing makes

everything better it's called the

simultanous Sip and it happens now

go oh so good so good well I'm going to

get start with some pallet cleansers but

of course I will be talking about

the Supreme Court case about Colorado

and Trump and of course the Putin

interview with Tucker and we'll talk

about Biden's brain and uh at the end

I'm going to talk about some

persuasion that Israel is

using quite successfully so wait for

that that'll be toward the end all right

well I saw a AI researcher James

Zhao I hope pronouncing that correctly

he thinks AI models are getting

substantially

worse over time and potentially it's

because of a result of interacting with

humans now I would like to remind you

that I'm I think I might be the only

person who is predicting that AI will

hit a a wall it's just it's going to hit

a top and that it probably already

did now that's not to say that AI won't

keep getting better at image

generation and playing chess and doing

math and writing code and translating

languages it's going to do a whole bunch

of things really

well um but I don't think it's going to

get smarter in the way that people think

of

smart you know like I said it it'll do

tasks that are you know automated kinds

of things like math uh it'll do a lot of

things faster but here's what I think I

think humans will find ways to

it and and keep it from getting smarter

than us because if if AI gets smarter

than us we will lose all our

power do you know what I mean all of the

rest of the news that I'm going to talk

to about today are things that we can't

agree on what if AI got smart enough

that it could tell us what was

true we wouldn't put up with that that

we would immediately say it's broken

we'd turn it off we'd reprogram it

because the people who are wrong are

often in charge so they're not going to

put up with AI telling them they're all

wrong and everything is stupid and it's

a bad idea imagine just taking

everything that Joe Biden has done this

year put it in front of AI that

everybody agreed with smarter than

people and then the AI says you know

these are a bunch of bad ideas and it's

pretty obvious you should get rid of him

under the 25th Amendment what are you

going to do with that are you going to

say well I'm glad we got a smart AI it

just told us what to do then we'll go do

that nope you're going to say the AI is

broken you're going to say the AI is

biased you're going to say the other

side programmed it and you're going to

do what you think is right and by the

way that AI must be getting

Dumber yeah so listen to this the US

Department of Commerce announced the

launch of the AI safety Institute

Consortium

uh it already has 200 stakeholders

including open AI Google anthropic and

meta and they're all there to come up

with

safe safe uh development procedures for

AI is there anything else I need to tell

you to convince you that AI will be

ruined by human

activity it's a committee it's a

committee to decide how to keep it safe

what do you think that's going to

include

I'm just going to take a guess let me

take a wild guess the committee to keep

AI

safe is going to build Dei into it

because there's nothing safer than

diversity it's going to build CRT and

ESG into it because we all like

Equity it's going to make sure that it

doesn't say anything that offends every

anybody so that gets rid of everything

useful

and it's going to make sure it doesn't

disagree with anybody who's got power in

the United States because that would be

very

unsettling so it can't do anything

useful

provocative or outside the outside the

domain that we think is

safe what's that sound like it sounds

exactly like a censorship on the

internet why would AI be different we

we've eliminated human free speech by

saying we're trying to keep ourselves

safe that happened right in front of you

we all watched it we're going to keep

you safe and to do that we better get

rid of your free speech about whatever

you think about these

vaccinations and whatever you think

about masks you better get rid of that

Free Speech it's going to happen to AI

you think AI is going to be the only

entity that can have free

speech because imagine this imagine

imagine I say you know there's some

things I would certainly never say but

here's my here's my AI to tell you its

opinion it's not my opinion it's the AI

talking there's no way that will be

allowed we don't have a system that that

would allow AI to get smarter than us

and that's not a very high bar except as

I say coding and math and playing chess

and stuff it'll be great at

that all right here's some fake science

dat J bakara you know him from being

right about everything about the

pandemic um he he tweets that the CDC

commissioned scientists to see if n95

masks work better than S surgical masks

for healthc care workers now we're not

talking about the pandemic we're talking

about ordinary medical procedures now I

I don't know why they needed to study

this am I right because every I'm just

spent the last three years being told

over and over and over again the n95s

work you know I'm not talking about Co

but they work in the medical context but

those regular little ones that we wore

you know they're not going to perform as

well what do you think the science

said science said no

difference let me say that again after

three years of listening to

every expert in the world tell us that

you know one the one thing we know for

sure like we might be guessing and

speculating a lot of things but there is

one thing we know for sure outside of

the context of Co you know with regular

medical stuff the n95s work and those

other ones well you know kind of not so

well turns out nothing like that was the

case and so what did the CDC do when it

commissioned a highquality study and it

came back saying there was no difference

the CDC decided to ignore the

evidence because they didn't like the

answer and so they told the scientists

that they were

wrong so how about

AI we just did a high quality study and

then the people who didn't like the

answer said the study must be wrong

because was opposite of what they

expected do you think AI is going to get

treated differently the moment AI tells

us something we don't want to hear we're

going to reprogram

it we're not going to say wow that AI

sure got smarter than us nope nope we

don't work that way that's just not a

human

activity all right uh Sam mman raising

money for super AI chips he thinks he

might need 7 trillion do

what what were you doing

today like I I think I'm all important

because I got a little podcast going on

here oh look at me I got a couple

thousand people looking at me I'm really

killing it today what's Sam mman doing

he's raising

uh7 trillion dollar for the most

transformative technology in the history

of humankind and that's okay too so I

mean I'm sure what you did today was

good

too oh it's all about the same Equity I

say well Peter

Navaro is not getting bail while he's

appealing his conviction

for uh not not submitting to Congress to

testify uh do you see something terribly

wrong with this as in maybe if he'd

beaten up some police officers he would

get out

faster like literally he should have

assaulted a police officer because I

hear if you do that you get out right

away but he refused to participate in a

corrupt process as he saw

it and he doesn't get bailed to appeal

it

really it's not like he doesn't have an

appeal I'm pretty sure he does I don't

know what the basis would be I'm sure he

has an

appeal oh how do you how do you

interpret this other than Republicans

being put in jail and being haunted it's

exactly what it looks like right the

justice system is completely

corrupt um do you know the host of The

View named Sunny

host yes she's a host named

hoston you you really

and the funny thing is that she's always

negative and her name is sunny

Hosten so she's literally hosting

negativity but her name is sunny hoston

but she's also very much F in favor of

reparations she really likes the slavery

reparations uh even now after doing a

DNA test to find out that she's

descended from Spanish slave

Traders

uh awkward

awkward uh but even though she's

descended from Spanish slave Traders

she's still in favor of reparations but

I

believe she feels she should be

exempt she didn't say that but I feel

like that's the essence of it it's

like I'm descended from Spanish slave

Traders that's completely different you

know who am I going to give reparations

to anyway the somebody over in

Spain

so anyway consistency is not real

big um I saw a Jennifer cabani tweet

there's a US UCLA Professor who was

suspended do you remember this story he

was suspended for refusing to grade

black students leniently after George

George

Floyd apparently there was a movement

that black students should get uh

inflated grades because of what happened

to George Floyd and maybe it caused some

distress he refused to do it and it

ruined his career including his uh uh

lucrative expert witness business on the

side and so he's suing UCLA for $19

million Will he

win I don't know it depends if the

courts are completely corrupt but I

think he might I think he might it's

2024 anything had

happened

um okay there's a a high school debate

James Fishback is writing about this on

on X uh the national speech and debate

Association they eliminated a high

school debate topic the topic was about

Civil

Disobedience and the reason that they

didn't want to have the high school

debate on civil disobedience was because

uh it would put some students in a

position of listening to arguments that

they didn't align

with that actually happened a high

school debate was cancelled because I

didn't want to put the students in a

position of hearing an opinion that was

opposite of their

own okay sure well apparently the

xplatform is going to have its own phone

for audio and video and texting and um

Elon mus says he's going to get rid of

his regular phone and use only the

xplatform for text in a month or so now

correct me if I'm

wrong how does that work does it work

through the regular phone network

because you'd have to have some

connections just to have all the

coverage I always wondered how other

phone companies get access to the

proprietary networks of exist

ing uh

people so I don't know how that work

waiting for details but what if what if

it worked for

everybody I mean is it possible that for

$20 a month I'll be able to make

Unlimited phone

calls is that going to

happen because I think it might what

would that do to the entire cell phone

business and do you think it's obvious

that elen mus is going to make a

phone

does it seem obvious like the most

obvious thing is you should make a phone

and it should be based on an AI model

where it's not a bunch of apps it's just

something you talk to I don't know I

think that's

coming um well so there's new new news

that uh the loneliness epidemic is worse

than we think and young people 15 to

24 reported a 70% drop in time spent

with friends after the pandemic

a 70% drop in spending time with friends

young people and with the elderly it's

even you know it's like critical but the

the new information is that uh

loneliness increases the risk of

premature death by nearly

30%

loneliness increases the risk of

premature

death that you call excess

mortality by nearly 30% now it's science

so I don't believe any science so I'm

not sure any of that's true

but do you believe that loneliness uh

does have an impact on life expectancy

yes or

no as someone who has experienced it I

would say it's

obvious you you can feel the impact on

your on your health it's just like being

under a weighted blanket I mean you

can't miss it I mean you can't miss it

yeah so let me propose

this excess mortality is fully explained

by the excess loneliness the the extreme

amount of extra

loneliness if it does have this

substantial impact on premature death is

the only thing I can think of that would

affect every person in the same way in

other words every demographic from young

to old every every race every gender

because that's what excess mortality is

doing the excess mortality is hitting

everybody or every group not everybody

but every group and I couldn't think of

I was actually speculating it might be

something with the food

supply because if if the excess

mortality were simply

vaccinations that would be the easiest

thing in the world to check you just say

did you get vaccinated yes or no and

then you sum up their excess mortality

of that group so has anybody seen a

study that says that the vaccinations

caused the excess

mortality where they where they actually

studied as a control group if you've

seen that Ascend it to me because I've

only seen the ones that say that the

entire population has excess mortality

I've never seen anybody look at

vaccinated versus

unvaccinated

so for excess Mor

so if you've seen that let me know but I

think this would explain all of

it you know unless it was unless this it

could be the study was funded by the

makers of the the

shots if that if that's true then I

don't believe any of

it but consider that that we have an

obvious an obvious candidate for excess

mortality that would be more to public

policy wouldn't it so I think that the

decision for the lockdowns may have be

the entire excess

mortality if we hadn't locked down we

wouldn't be

socially so you know push back all right

I have a uh challenge to the

anti-semites watching this show I know

there are always some and it goes like

this I need you to be more credible than

the people who believe that aliens are

visiting the Earth and that they're

crashing their ships on a regular basis

now the reason I don't believe aliens

have come to Earth is because nobody

seems to produce a piece of wreckage

nobody who's seen it directly seems

credible and the the whistleblowers tend

to be people who talk to people who say

they saw it and there's no good

photograph now I'd like you to do take

the same standard and apply it to your

belief that there's a worldwide Jewish

conspiracy and here are the questions

that you need to answer for me before I

want to hear from you again okay now if

you can answer these questions then your

your hypothesis would have some weight

but if you can't answer these questions

ask yourself why question number

one uh how can it be that the elites and

Davos and the wef are really the ones in

charge if it's also really the gigantic

Jewish worldwide

conspiracy or are you saying that one is

a subset of the other so just be clear

I'm not saying what is or isn't just be

clear what do you believe and then

explain to me how things would

uh explain to me why there are no

whistleblowers if there's a worldwide

Jewish

conspiracy and we know that Jews don't

seem to agree on anything like even even

the the Jews living in Israel right now

don't agree that there should be uh

ongoing war with over in Gaza that's a

pretty big thing to disagree on that's a

pretty big disagreement they've got what

12 political parties because they don't

agree on much they've got you in the

United States you've got the

conservative Jews you've got the liberal

Jews you've got the the ones who are

very pro Israel needs to be a country

the others who say why is it a country

so with all of those different kinds of

Jews if you believe there's a world

white conspiracy where they've really

they've really buttoned it up and for

hundreds of years we see seem to not be

able to get a whistleblower explain why

there's no

whistleblower cuz you know they're not

all in the same

team you know that so not one of them

not a not a single person is willing to

say yeah I was in a meeting and I got to

tell you worldwide conspiracy it's all

we talk about how about an internal

document we have internal documents for

every damn thing for everything show me

the the internal document where they

plan their worldwide

takeover how about

uh how about this if you want to

convince me there's a worldwide Jewish

conspiracy I want you to explain to me

uh which culture you're aware of

anywhere in the world in which the

people with the best

educations don't run

things if there's one of those then

that's a pretty good argument if you you

can find me a country where the most

educated

demographic doesn't have all the

power then I would say huh there's

something weird going on in America

because the most educated part of our

public seems to have all the good jobs

that would be very suspicious to me if

the other countries found out that

getting a good education really retards

your ability to get a good job so

explain to me how how America would look

different if you accept it that the

people with the best educations almost

always have the

power and you would want them

to you would want them to we we

literally go out of our way to elect

people and promote people who are better

educated so why would this be the

exception why would this be the one time

that the most educated people in America

are not in charge they should be if

everything is working in a perfectly

normal way that's exactly what you would

say so if you send me a big picture of

how many Jewish people are in charge of

Corporations especially the media I say

that's what I would expect it to look

like what would you expect it to look

like if the only explanation was

educated people get better jobs what how

would that look right

so that's my challenge to you let's talk

about Tucker and Putin How many of you

watched the Tucker interview Tucker

Carlson with Vladimir

Putin quite a few of you uh let me give

you my summary summary of it and a few

other

thoughts um number one the question was

is Putin like really really smart and

he's all there and that's mostly what

I'm seeing today I'm seeing a lot of

smart observers saying that Putin guy he

he really together and one of the

evidences that people are using is that

he gave a long history lesson

uh as an answer to you know one of

Tucker's first questions he gave an

extended history lesson with dates and

names and it was like a Thousand-Year

history of Ukraine and Russia and how

everything came to

be and many of you use that as an

example of how on the ball Putin is that

he could do

that to which I

say uh I didn't see that at all you know

obviously it's subjective but what I saw

is somebody who couldn't read a

room because wasn't the whole point of

Putin talking to Tucker to convince

non-russians he wasn't talking to

Russia because Russia seems to be on his

side he was talking to everybody not in

Russia and if he believed that that

Thousand-Year history lesson was

persuasive to

Americans that's just sort of

dumb that that seems a little clueless

to me it seems like not reading the room

at all it feels like an old man who

couldn't that nobody knows how to say no

to so he's just going to ramble because

he can it looked like he was showing off

that he had a that he had a grasp of

history and that showing off seemed to

be his dominant motivation it did not

seem like he was trying to convince

anybody of anything which was stupid and

absurd and it to me it looked like age

related now I'm completely aware that

you all disagree with

me I I think maybe 5% saw it the way I

saw it and here's my take and you will

also disagree with this but I'm going to

be uh I'm not going to back off it we've

been looking at our president for a long

time

Biden if you have in your mind that

Biden is what a president looks like and

then you saw Putin it is quite natural

that you would say my God Putin is well

put together but you know compared to

what we're seeing it's

terrible if RFK Jr had been president

for three

years and every time he talked whether

you agreed with him or not agreeing with

him is different but every time he

talked it was

smart do you think that Putin would look

so so clever

then no it's a comparison

thing now you're going to reject my

frame you're going to say no Scott I'm

not comparing him to Putin because I'm

mentally not doing that I'm telling

myself not to and I'm examining my own

thoughts and I know I'm not I'm

definitely not doing that well you're

wrong because you can't not do it you

can't turn it off you are only a

comparison pattern recognizing machine

machine you cannot make your brain be

something it's not you compare things to

other things period you don't know how

to turn that off and if you were

comparing Putin to anybody it was

definitely Biden and you can't turn that

feature off and so it will guarantee

that you see Putin is better than he is

because your comparison is so bad right

so I think that's why I I think that

reason I saw Putin looking old and

looking like a a rattling on like an old

man who didn't know that basically he

couldn't read the room he he didn't seem

to have a the facility to know what

would come across more effectively now

toward the end I'm going to talk about

uh Israel and some persuasion that

they're doing and you're going to see

the difference all right you're going to

see the difference between good

persuasion and bad

persuasion uh and that was bad

persuasion I think Putin failed I think

he looked nervous I thought I thought he

looked somebody said this so I'm

stealing this he looked like somebody

who's not used to answering hard

questions because he doesn't get them

so um I don't know that we learned

anything do do you think we learned

anything was there any new stuff we we

heard butin believes that the CIA blew

up the nordstream pipeline if you were

paying attention you already ble believe

that to be

true um he believes that there's some

historical president that gives Russia

some control over Ukraine he believes

that NATO was the aggressor and you know

they've been warned many times we kind

of knew that um so I don't know that we

learned anything new it wasn't news

making um Putin says he tried to

basically be on the same side as the

United States and Europe a few times

once with Bill Clinton in which he said

do you think Russia would ever be able

to join NATO which is funny um and Bill

Clinton actually thought maybe so but

his people told him no who do you think

his people are who do you think told

Bill Clinton no you cannot make peace

with Russia so productively that they're

actually part of our own military

protection well I

assume I assume it was the military

industrial complex and I assume it's CU

there are too many people who went to

school to learn how to be uh spies

against

Russia I think it was just the Deep

State said he can't do

that so I think that Putin is telling us

that even Clinton was not in charge and

I think he's telling us that that uh

Biden is not in charge and there seems

to be a suggestion that maybe the CIA or

some shadowy group is really running the

country and uh but then the weirdest

part is Putin kept claiming

that he was acting sort of

petulant that his offers to negotiate

and things like that were were not taken

seriously and at one point there was a

Minsk agreement so he thought there was

an agreement but then uh Boris Johnson

shot it

down now if only I had some way to do a

Boris Johnson

impression Boris Johnson shot it down

and

see um so why do you think Boris Johnson

shot down something that looked like a

reasonable agreement probably because

whoever got to Bill Clinton also got to

Boris Johnson you know not the exact

same people but something like

it so now we've seen several instances

where the leaders or the people we

thought were the leaders were all about

the peace but they couldn't have the

power to do it well why don't the

leaders have power to make peace

probably because it's exactly what you

think it is they're not in charge at

least of the war decisions all right uh

let's see what else um and Putin you

know pointed out that uh the CIA did a

coup in Ukraine you know right in the

right in the basically the front steps

of Russia

and uh what else let's

see

um how many how many people thought

Tucker was scared he was going to be

murdered at any

minute so to his credit let let me say

this

unambiguously Tucker sat across from

Putin and probably asked him the hardest

questions he's ever been asked

and was making Putin prettyy

uncomfortable and I gotta say I saw a

cartoon meme of uh of Tucker leaving the

interview with a wheelbarrow to to carry

his own

balls because they were so

big so I thought uh I thought Tucker did

a good job

however well let's talk more about that

and then I'll give you the other side of

the coin um

so one of the things that tiger asked

them is you know why don't you give us

back that captive is it Wall Street

Journal there's a there's a reporter

over there that Russia says was a spy

and uh Wall Street Journal reporter yeah

young guy so they're holding in but

they're but Putin was saying that that

needs to be negotiated by the spies so

he says his spies and America's spies

need to work it out and it's probably

going to be some kind of a deal where

they get something we get something to

get him

back now his claim Putin's claim is that

the guy is actually a spy and that

whether he worked for anybody or not he

was involved with getting secrets and

passing them on do you think that's

true do you think it's true that he got

some secrets to pass him on or do you

think that Putin just made up something

so they could capture another American

so they'd have more to

negotiate who knows yeah you should not

make any assumption about whether that's

true my take on the entire thing is that

Putin seemed to be

lying at least half of the

time that was my take it looked like he

was lying at least half of the time now

by lying I mean that he's leaving out

context and not telling you the full

story and spinning it you know that sort

of thing so um let me let me give you

this

warning I've told you about what I call

the documentary effect

if you walk if you watch an hourong

documentary and it's just taking

one-sided point of view you will think

you've been convinced you will always be

convinced by a documentary because it

doesn't show The Other Side well

likewise if you saw Putin talking for

two hours and you thought you learned

something consider that it's the

opposite consider that it made you

dumber you got that because what Putin

said was things you already knew but

then there were a bunch of you know

spinny things where there were things

that it was the the Russian view if you

believe you got smarter because you

heard Putin talk it's the

opposite yeah very the opposite he made

you dumber because you might have

believed some of the things he said and

there they should not be believed

because it's a documentary effect

problem where there's nobody there to

say yeah but what about this context and

aren't you leaving this out and and

those things

so every one of you who thought wow

after seeing that I have a different

view of Putin that's a

mistake that's a mistake you should have

exactly the same view of Putin before

the interview is after you know may

maybe give or take whether you thought

he was showing signs of age but that's

different all right um I love the fact

that Tucker put him on the spot on

camera to ask him why you wouldn't free

the journalist that was both

ballsy and exactly the right thing to do

because that guy can't be

forgotten but you also have to take into

account our own government lies to us

routinely and we wouldn't know if he was

a spy or not you wouldn't know do you do

you think that guy's not a spy because

your government told

you

really yeah our government said he's not

a spy so oh he's not a spy now by the

way I'm not saying he is that that would

be messed up I don't know I'm saying

there's no way to know and if you

believe

Putin you're stupid and if you believe

the US version you're stupid one of

those is right or more right than the

other but you have no way of knowing no

way of knowing absolutely no way of

knowing so I just look at that as like

okay somebody said this somebody said

that it's bad for this guy I wish get I

wish he'd be released but I think he's

going to be part of some negotiations it

looks

like

um so I would say that uh Tucker did a

great job

um of news but if you're treating it

like news you probably shouldn't you

should treat it more like

entertainment entertainment wise I liked

it um but my take is that whole uh

history lesson was a little unhinged and

he didn't read the room and it showed

he's a little out of touch and his his

his thought that somebody needs to talk

to him you know he he's offered too many

peace plans already so somebody's going

to have to come to him that just seems

small you know so I don't think I don't

think Putin came off

well uh I thought Tucker

did and he's going to get a ton of push

back on this

all

right so was there anything else to say

about that it was entertaining I don't

think made much news uh oh let me one

other thing I saw some numbers about how

many people watched

it and so all right here's some numbers

uh F so just for comparison so you see

how well tuer is doing Fox News Prime

Time viewers average uh about two

million viewers

when Tucker was on Fox his show brought

in over three million so even soer was

you know the big the big traffic Guy on

Fox at the moment MSNBC averages 1.2

million CNN averages uh under 600,000

for any any moment they're watching and

then uh this tweet I was looking at said

that uh Tucker already 993 million

views now is that a good comparison 93

million

views versus you know two or three

million for the did did we do the math

right

no no everything's wrong with that math

everything's wrong with it number one uh

I turned that on and then turned it off

five times yesterday because I would I

would watch a little little bit I get

interrupted I go back to it how many how

many views do I have is that one view or

am I five

views do you know I don't know so if you

don't know that you could be off by you

know a factor of three or five number

two when you say that CNN has 600,000

viewers that means for one moment but

that 600,000 isn't the same 600,000

watching it all day the next hour will

be a new 600,000 mostly Etc so you

should look at a full day or two of CNN

to compare to a full day or two of

people watching this live stream am I

right next the business model of fox and

MSNBC and CNN is not about the time that

you spend online my view of these

networks is that the show the live show

on on the news is really just a clip

show all they're doing is creating

content that then gets pushed around

social media and gets pushed to their

websites and it makes them credible

enough that cable cables need to include

them in their Network so they get paid

by the cable companies they don't really

get paid by the advertising did you ever

wonder why the advertising on Fox News

was so

lame it's like hey I'm selling a pocket

knife you're like really that's like a

major Advertiser how about my

pillow it's because the advertising is

not where they make their money they

make their money by saying uh to the

cable operators you can't have our show

unless you pay us a bunch of

money so the money comes from the cable

operators and the the carriers the the

dishes and stuff like that

so um if you were to include CNN 's full

reach which includes their entire show

all day all the clips that go on social

media and get passed around and then who

goes to their

website and then you take maybe the 93

million is really oneth of that because

people just signing in and signing out

those numbers are a lot closer than you

think now I I I still think it's true

that um Tucker's numbers are much bigger

but it's not that much bigger it's not

100 times bigger it's more like it might

be double could be double could be

triple but don't trust these numbers so

the only thing here is a less none

numbers

basically all right here's the uh

best

um let's let's talk about the

uh um the report from the special

prosecutor her is his name I think it's

funny that uh

that Biden Biden was being investigated

by a

pronoun the guy's last name is herror H

but you got investigated by a pronoun

and uh here's the

uh here's here's the uh I guess the

summary of

it so the summary is he absolutely uh

did uh with willfulness he willingly and

knowingly took confidential materials

that he wasn't supposed to take so now

that's what you get prosecuted for right

he knew he was doing

it and he knew that it was confidential

and he wasn't supposed to do

it

so why aren't they Prosecuting him well

it appears that uh he did not remember a

lot of things such as when his son Bo

died and he was an elderly man with a

poor memory he has significant

limitations and uh jury would be

sympathetic uh and that he didn't

possess the mental state of willfulness

necessary to

prosecute wait if he didn't he didn't

have the he didn't have the mental state

of

willfulness that means he's just not

capable he's not

competent now

what did MSNBC say about this news

that's the worst news that they could

ever

have well you have to watch MSNBC today

you're missing a good show because

they're they're trying to find a way to

downplay the fact that the special

prosecutor said he's not going to

prosecute not entirely because of but

largely because of the person he wants

to prosecute isn't mentally capable of

standing end in trial and looking like

somebody who would know he met he

committed a

crime so here's what MSNBC is saying

well there's a little editorializing in

that isn't there

editorializing so they want you to think

that her should have only been talking

about the the

law and it was inappropriate for him to

speculate on the mental state of Joe

Biden what he's no medical

doctor and and how weird is it that you

would even consider what the defense

would be when putting together your

decision to prosecute to which I say how

dumb do you think the MSNBC viewers

are the only decision you make when

you're going to prosecute is what the

defense would look like that's not the

thing you forget it's the main thing the

main thing is what's the defense oh he

has an Al bu on video with

100

people oh he's mentally incapable oh

well he wouldn't get

convicted it's the main thing you think

about is what the defense would look

like and they're selling it to their

viewers as an irrelevant part of the

decision and their viewers are so dumb

they're buying

that I assume some of them

um let's see uh and then uh one of them

is saying that it's standard legal

advice to tell your client to say you

don't remember something when you're

being questioned now is that true is it

standard advice yes it is standard

advice if you're not totally sure or

it's not going to help you in some way

see I don't know I don't remember and

you see that all the people who do have

all their faculties do that right now

given that that's normal and and anybody

who's been in that business knows it's

sort of normal for the person you're

you're talking to to say well I don't

remember that I don't remember that but

don't you think her and his team are

completely aware of that don't you think

they know the difference between

somebody saying you know I don't

remember and somebody saying they don't

remember when their son died or when

they were Vice

President yeah you don't think he could

tell the difference between just

somebody using legal advice and somebody

who doesn't know what room he's

in yeah I think you can tell the

difference uh Lawrence O'Donnell said

that the prosecutor doesn't understand

the human

mind and and that's why he failed to

understand that under a pressure

situation such as the president being

you know grilled that the pressure makes

you forget

stuff so Lawrence O'Donnell says yeah

it's for some reason the prosecutor

doesn't understand even though it's his

very business as expertise and it's what

he's done for years uh that he doesn't

understand the human mind and how it's

harder to answer questions in that

situation but it didn't seem to bother

everybody else seems like everybody else

who ask gets answered asked questions

does a pretty good

job uh and they're and they they're of

course focusing on the fact that he's

cleared of all charges without

mentioning why he's cleared of all

charges totally different than the Trump

situation yeah now the one difference is

that Trump allegedly obstructed and Joe

Biden allegedly did not who

knows

um all right so Biden wanted to defend

his brain so he had to go in public and

act like he's not crazy and Bill maluan

posted this he said that Biden expressed

visible anger with the reporters while

defending his memory and mental

acuity he then said the president of

Mexico refused to open up humanitarian

corridors into the Gaza

Strip that's a high quality post right

there this is such a good post I'm going

to read it again from Bill malan at Fox

uh Biden expressed visible anger with

reporters while defending his memory and

mental acuity he then said the president

of Mexico refused to open up

humanitarian corridors into the Gaza

Strip uh as ran all humorously pointed

out about that same exchange going to

build a wall with Gaza and make Mexico

pay for it and boy are they going to be

confused now that's a good post

too now I've never had so much fun with

the news watching the Democrats try to

protect Biden as he's as he's

disintegrating it's kind of fun and I

don't want it to end right

away I I want want him to go all the way

yeah we'll talk about the Alternatives

but I really at this point I do want him

to go all the way because now it's just

funny and I'm not going to stop laughing

no matter how how long this goes now

should I feel more

empathy because he's degraded normally

yes but he's made himself literally my

enemy and if my enemy is is mentally

degraded I'm going to laugh at that I'm

going to Mo him because he's my enemy

you you why don't you let Peter Navaro

out in jail and then we'll we'll talk

about me not mocking your brain

dead president how about that

but I'm G to mock the out of him

certainly as long as Peter Navaro was in

jail you know I think that's fair

game uh let's see what else uh and then

Joe Biden said uh he defended his uh his

ability to bring every everybody

together he said I said I'm going to be

president for everybody whether you live

in a red state or a green

State a red state or a green

State he's doing great this all happened

yesterday this one day of gaffs all

right but luckily the media is being

totally objective and covering it uh the

way they should for example the LA times

has a article headline says age matters

and I'm thinking there we go the LA

Times age matters this is about Biden

I'm thinking finally a little bit of

Sanity age

matters which is why Biden's age is his

superpower that's the rest of the title

age matters that's why that's why

Biden's age is the

superpower they really did that

the LA Times now I will remind you that

they cancelled me but I was happy to be

cancelled by the LA times because they

have the least credible news on this

Coast all right you need to talk about

Melle

Obama because V ramaswami thinks

Michelle Obama is GNA swoop in and take

the job of candidate and apparently

Glenn Beck has as a addicted it as well

now you might say to me Scott you're a

big VI ramas Swami

supporter and uh if he is so darn sure

that Michelle Obama's coming in uh

doesn't that persuade you that she's

coming

in

no not even a little bit not even the

slightest

amount I'm I'm with Carl Rove all the

way and I don't don't always agree with

Carl Rove but but Carl Ro says she hates

politics there's just no way it's going

to

happen and I say you would have seen a

lot of foreshadowing If This Were even a

possibility a lot of

foreshadowing you would have seen

something like a listening

tour right you know it would be Michelle

Obama saying you know uh our country is

very

divided uh I'm going to go on a

listening

just to see what people think you know

maybe that'll help and then I would say

yeah maybe she's

preparing or you would hear somebody say

uh yeah we saw a meeting of all these

advisers and they met with her then I

would say well we don't know what she

will say but they're they're pushing for

it there is no evidence whatsoever that

Michelle Obama is going to be a

candidate so I'm going to go hard now

hard now uh let's see your opinions give

me your opinions how many of you are yes

or no on um Michelle Obama running for

president on this election

cycle yeah she has no reason to

right yep yep all right so we can

disagree on that but um you know I guess

I I really do have the Carl Ro opinion

that it seems so

Preposterous that I can't even talk

about it like I feel it's like a waste

of energy to even like talk about it

because it's so

imaginary however now that I've put

myself all in the line and if if I'm

wrong about

this I'd be amazed I would say my level

of certainty about her not running is

it's the highest for any prediction I've

ever

made it's the highest level of

certainty for what that's worth yeah

this is not a coin flip for me for me

this is

99.9% likely she's not

running all right uh meanwhile after the

Border bill got shot down because it was

a complete garbage and our government

seems to not be working at all uh

there's a new Senate bill that got voted

67 to 32 in favor of advancing it so

it's not pass they're just advancing it

a 95 billion doll foreign a package for

Ukraine Israel Gaza and

Taiwan

seriously we're going to give money to

four countries that are not the United

States in the middle of a

Invasion how does that make

sense how does that make sense and

apparently Republicans uh also voted for

it not big numbers but quite a

few uh I don't trust any I don't trust

any Republican who voted for this I I I

would have to assume something else is

going on with

them so I looked at the list a as a

citizen I feel like I needed to know the

names on the list that voted for it I

don't do that I do not do that usually

you'll hear like you know one dissident

or something oh Romney didn't vote for

it but this time I actually spent time

trying to memorize all the names on the

list the

Republicans because I feel like I need

to know that whoever voted for this is

not on my team I don't know what team

they're on but you need to know their

names so learn their

names for good

reason um and Taiwan what the hell are

we doing for Taiwan are you telling me

Taiwan doesn't have enough

money

I thought Taiwan was doing okay they're

run out of money they need our money

that makes no

sense all right um how many of you

listened to the audio it was fascinating

of the Supreme Court slapping around the

state of Colorado who wants to take

Trump off the ballot because they say he

was involved in an Insurrection which

would disqualify him according to the

14th Amendment they

say but the Supreme Court seemed to have

the opinion

that

um he not participating in the

Insurrection which didn't actually

happen in

reality um you know might not be enough

to to get to get up in trouble here uh

so I feel

like uh let's see

oh if you listen to the judges asking

the questions of the Colorado people

uh I finally got some of my faith back

in the United States and especially when

I was hearing the liberal

justices uh just hammering on these

Colorado

lawyers

and they were just purely on the

Constitution so here's what I thought I

might hear because I I haven't listened

to a lot of Supreme Court conversations

but we know that the rulings often come

down pretty close to party lines you

know the Liberals go one way and the the

others go another

way so I thought I was going to hear a

bunch of

bias I thought that when the liberal

justices were talking they would ask

questions that would suggest you know

they they wanted to go one way if they

could make it happen nothing like that

happened so judge uh you're going to

have to help me with the name katania

Jackson or I'll just say justice Jackson

um I tuned in when she was talking and I

didn't know much about her but boy do I

have more respect for after listening to

her um talking to the lawyers I thought

she was really sharp on target

completely compatible with the

Constitution seemed to be right where I

wanted it to be so I'll tell you again

I've said this a number of times the

only thing protecting the United States

from collapse is that the Supreme Court

still has some

credibility and I thought that it was

improved yesterday I thought the Supreme

Court looked a little bit better

yesterday and uh that made me feel good

now we we don't have the ruling yet

right when is the ruling

coming ruling will

come um

soon so we we think it'll allow uh Trump

to stay on the the

ballot all right

um and then Trump says in his statement

about it he says uh every one of these

cases you see comes out of the White

House it comes out of Biden it's

election interference and it's really

sad you

know normally I would

say you know don't call everything

election

interference you know because you could

spread that to everything but I think

he's

right it does seem to me that there is a

White House

coordinated uh lawfare approach which

doesn't seem related to actual laws it

does seem like the intention is purely

to keep Trump off the ballot which I

would consider election

interference at this level so if it was

a little bit let let's say it was one

lawsuit or let's say it was one court

case and let's say it was pretty solid I

wouldn't call that election interference

but if you have this you know full core

press every possible legal thing you can

do and you're you can be pretty

confident that it's coordinated by the

White

House to me that looks full

Rico I mean it's not just election

interference is organized election

interference so this is the very crime

that they're accusing Trump of

insurrection to me this looks like an

Insurrection looks like election

interference yeah and I would suggest

that

um that no matter what happens just

claim that you don't remember that seems

to

work now the big the big question about

the uh court case is who decides when an

Insurrection has

occurred who gets to decide an

Insurrection occurred because there's no

ruling that an Insurrection occurred

which is why it's smart that uh the

Republican members are like G is leading

some members of the house to do a

resolution saying it wasn't a

Insurrection and I think that's good

because if you have no Court ruling that

says it is one but you have members of

Congress doing a resolution that says

it's not

one that's a pretty strong frame all

right ladies and

gentlemen I told you I was going to talk

about

Israel's uh persuasion apparently they

have a new Logan over there total

Victory so total Victory is and they're

putting it on hats and apparently the

hats are just being really popular and

president Netanyahu um no president what

is Netanyahu prime minister Nan yahu um

is using

it and uses a lot so he's repeating it

every time he goes now what do you think

of that as a

persuasive SL Logan or branding of their

efforts in Gaza do you think that's

strong or weak total

Victory sound sounds sort of ordinary

right when you first hear it it's like

well everybody says that right doesn't

everybody want to win total Victory but

it's more than that it's more than

that and here's why the the biggest

challenge that nanan yahu has is

everybody who's not Israel saying hey

hey why don't you negotiate a little bit

what why why don't you do a little

ceasefire you know maybe trade some

prisoners stuff like that and there's a

lot to say no

to if you're Netanyahu and you want to

really really completely defeat Hamas

which is what he wants to do you don't

want to be arguing every little

point you want to just say no total

Victory CU you know what we all know

what that looks like let me give you a

test um do you think that it will end

with Hamas back in power in some limited

way no that would not be total Victory

do you think it'll end with some armed

Hamas people still in the tunnels who

could then emerge and maybe reform their

movement no as long as there's even one

of them left in a tunnel they don't have

total

Victory so so the beauty of the frame is

that it's so clarifying you know what

does it look like does it look like um

you know Hamas wins anything do do they

get anything after this no no the answer

is nothing total Victory total Victory

what about um would Hamas control the

education system or let's say people who

changed their name from Hamas and said

oh I'm not Hamas anymore now I'm just

something else uh but I'll be in charge

of your school system and we'll train

the kids to have the same attitude we

had nope that would not be total victory

that would look like losing to me so I

think total victory has not only some

call backs to Winston Church Hill so it

might remind you of that that would be a

good you know a good uh comparison but I

think it clarifies that they're not

going to talk about the

details Israel is going to have total

Victory as they Define it and if you

have any questions

whatsoever if it's a gray area no they

want that

too there's no gray area if it's not

total Victory you know exactly what that

looks like and you know what total

Victory looks like so you could argue

you know should they go for it or not

but in terms of persuasion the uh I

think the framing is perfect so that's

exactly what I would have done in that

situation now suppose you say but Scott

is it really a negotiating

position it could end up that way but it

would be the best negotiating position

you could ever have no total Victory

that's my position nope nope nope total

Victory so I think it's pretty strong

and I think you're going to see more of

it um and that ladies and gentlemen

concludes my show for the

day I think you're all smarter and

happier um I and I

I literally recommend watching MSNBC

today for the humor is absolutely

hilarious watching them spin around with

all the latest news about Biden uh I

actually want Biden to last now I think

I said that

earlier it makes sense to replace him if

I were a Democrat I'd replace him as

soon as possible if they can um

but I really hope they don't I I would

like him to actually be the person that

Trump faces and then if they try to rig

the election

hypothetically it's going to be really

obvious it's gonna be really

obvious all right uh that's all I got

for today thanks for joining on the

xplatform and Rumble and

YouTube uh go forth and have a great day

today and a great weekend and I will see

the locals people on the man

tonight the rest of you I'll see

tomorrow morning thanks for

joining
