You're still here. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if anybody can see me yet. This is a little bit of a timeline before the start of my show, so I'm seeing you in both places. It looks interesting. So do I have two feeds going, or did it just connect to the existing feed? I don't know what happened, but it looks like we just created either two feeds or one that's working perfectly. Switched. All right, I'm going to close this phone. I think this will close one of the feeds. Go to the regular feed. If this doesn't work, well, watch us doing tech support in real time. There we go. The same feed. Everything's working. Today I'll even put my microphone in front of me. That'll work. That'll be better.

Well, good morning everybody. What a show we got today. All right, if you'd like to take this experience of Coffee with Scott Adams up to levels that nobody's ever even understood, all you need for that is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, a thermos, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Go. Oh, that's so good.

Well, I've got a theme for today. I'm going to do a little state of the union today, but I'm going to take it down to a more granular level. Granular level. Let's see if I can make this work. It's working. Everything's working. Oh, stop it. Take it down. There we go. That's better.

Well, The Federalist has an article saying that girls are way more conservative than they admit, and they have closeted conservative beliefs. Do you think that's true, that girls are more conservative than they admit? Gave some examples that even though 80% don't identify as conservative, 79% of women think that a stay-at-home mom is equal in success to a woman in a professional field. 74% like school choice. 71% oppose transgender surgeries. 68% plan to be married to have at least one child, blah blah blah blah, and don't like men competing in women's sports, as they say.

But here's my theory. I don't think any of those are conservative. None of those are conservative. Those are just sort of ordinary people issues, aren't they? I mean, to me it's just a preference whether you want to stay home or not. It doesn't really seem like it's some kind of conservative liberal thing. But you know what is definitely conservative or liberal? Abortion. And I didn't see it mentioned.

Here's what I think. I think that being a liberal just means being in favor of abortion. Nothing else. I think all the other stuff is common sense stuff that we pretend is some kind of political thing. I don't think the trans transitioning children — there's no way you can tell me that's a Democrat or Republican thing. That is purely an insanity versus a reasonable mind thing. Do you disagree? How in the world is that a political thing? It's not. But abortion is.

So to me the entire conversation of left versus right is just sort of abortion. There's not really anything else. And that would also explain why boys are less likely to conform and say that they're liberals or conform to liberal thought, because number one, they don't need to get abortions. So the number one reason to be a liberal doesn't apply, you know, unless they want to be allies and stuff, but it wouldn't apply as directly as it would for a woman.

But here's my other hypothesis. I believe that boys are rewarded for rebelling and girls are rewarded for conforming. So what I mean by that is the pure effect: if you're a girl, you don't want to be mocked for having a different opinion. If you're a boy, you don't want to be mocked for being a joiner. In other words, I think there's a premium for being rebellious if you're male. That other men recognize rebellion as a symbol of power and agency and freedom, and women might be a little more threatened by it. And I think there's probably perfectly good biological evolutionary reasons for all of that.

So I don't know if it's conservative beliefs that are closeted by the young women, or if the only thing that really matters is abortion. I think that's it.

All right, let's talk about all of our different government entities and see how they're doing. I'd like to start with a few states, if I may. We'll start with California. See how that's doing. According to Just the News, California is looking at a reparation bill on licensing. So there are a number of professions you need a license for, from manicurist to doctor. You need a license. And the idea is that the licensing requirements are racist because it's preventing Black people from getting these jobs.

So I don't know if you've noticed, but my state is totally racist against me. Are you aware that California is the most racist state? Meaning that DEI is everything and reparations and equity are the thing. So but I still have good weather, right? I don't have a lot of electricity in the state. I'm not so sure the forest fires won't kill me. The crime is encroaching on my neighborhood. But at least I can go outside and not die. I got to use the right pronoun or I'll go to jail, I think. And being white is almost criminal in my state. But again, the weather: extraordinary.

Let's compare that to Idaho. In Idaho, according to The Hill, the Idaho schools will be unable to require staff and students to use a transgender student's name and pronouns. So you can't force the school or any of the students to use somebody's preferred pronouns in Idaho.

So let's compare California to Idaho. If I go to Idaho, I can use any pronouns I want, but just in schools. I don't know about the rest of the state, but in schools I can use any pronoun I want. But if I go outdoors in the winter, I could die because of the weather. So good pronouns, but I will die if I go outside. Versus, all right, here's my solution: California is a much better deal if you can avoid contact with all the other people. So the only thing wrong with California is the other people. The weather: spectacular. So if I go to Idaho, I can at least associate with humans, but if I go outdoors I could die if I don't bring a jacket, depending on the season. In California I won't die if I go outdoors, but boy you don't want to run into people.

Let's look at Seattle. There's a Seattle dance squad that had the American flags on their outfits, and they were told the audience members felt triggered and unsafe by the American flag.

Ladies and gentlemen, there was a time when I would have seen this story completely differently, and I would have said to myself, my God, there are a lot of provocative left-leaning people. How are they rejecting my country? But today I'm going to join them in saying that the flag is no longer a symbol that I respect. I'm going to say it right. I don't respect the flag as of really today. I just decided when I was looking at that story, you know what? I'm going to read you the rest of the stories about our country. I'm going to tell you everything from the DOJ to the State Department to every government entity is corrupt and racist, and I don't support any of that. I don't support them transferring my money to Ukraine or any other place. I am absolutely not in favor of what my country is doing to me or its other citizens.

So let me say unequivocally, I'm on your side if you're American, and I don't dislike you if you're Canadian. But let me tell you where my allegiances are. My allegiance is to the American people and not to the flag. The flag has lost its ability to attract my respect. So I've lost my respect for the American flag because it no longer symbolizes something that in total I can support. So I don't support the leaders, but I absolutely support the people.

So let me be as clear as possible. I'm on your side, people, human beings. And I'm not on the side of a stupid flag or the brainwashing or the propaganda or the lies or the racism that's coming behind the color of that flag. So you might not like it because I know it's painful to hear if you spent your whole life saluting the flag. I'm not even sure I could salute it at this point. You remember I agreed with Colin Kaepernick when I said, you know what, if you've got your issue, I don't like it. It's offensive if you don't stand for the flag and all that. And I really meant that. But when I see how racist my country is against me, well, suddenly Colin's approach looks a little bit more reasonable, doesn't it? A little bit more reasonable.

Let's talk about what else is wrong. How about the Department of Justice? Well, they're completely crooked, it appears, if you look at the Trump lawfare stuff. So Trump's run out of options trying to delay the Stormy Daniels hush money payment thing. But do you think there's any update on that? Yes, there is. Trump just posted a letter that apparently Stormy Daniels wrote and signed in 2018 and has said the following. Now, I think it's real. You know, it's new news, so we'll wait to see if somebody says it's fake. But apparently on January 2018, Stormy Daniels wrote: To whom it may concern, over the past few weeks I've been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago. The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017, and now again in 2018. I am not denying this affair because I was paid, quote, hush money, as has been reported in overseas tabloids. I'm denying this affair because it never happened.

It is not new. Now, I assume that the defense is that she wrote it under duress or she wrote it because of the hush money or something. Is that what the prosecution will say? But here's my question. Whether or not the intention behind this letter was honesty or actually to earn the hush money, I feel like this should make this whole thing go away if we had anything like a justice system. The mere existence of this letter, you should make everybody involved say, you know what, I don't know if he did it or didn't do it, but we can't go forward when this letter exists. This is a pretty obvious case of corruption.

Can you imagine if this were anyone else but Trump and this letter existed? Do you think this would be a case? There's no way anybody would go forward with this case when you could show that letter to the jury. What would it take to convince you and a jury to convict this guy if you knew that the so-called victim had said unequivocally and as clearly as you can and signed it that it didn't happen? And there's no physical evidence that it happened. Is there? Like nobody has a video. Nobody has a blue dress. It's just two people's word. And well, there you go. So I'd say the Department of Justice: completely corrupt.

Let's check in with the State Department. The State Department has a DEI chief who says, quote, for promotion at the Department of State, you must be able to document what you're doing to support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and that's how you'll be judged for promotion.

Okay, so the State Department apparently is an overly racist organization who is not going to be too happy about promoting white people based on all evidence. And so I have some advice for the white men who are still working at the State Department. Can you guess what my advice is? So you're working, you're a white man at the State Department, and you've been told publicly — so nobody's hiding it — that it's all about the diversity, equity, inclusion, and you're not even going to get promoted unless you've done a good job on that. So if you're a white man working at the State Department, what's your best strategy? Get the fuck out of there. You should leave as soon as possible. They can't tell you any more directly than that. Get the fuck out of there.

Jesus Christ, what is the lag time between me being canceled and me being right about everything? One year.

All right, let's check in with the other federal agencies. Let's see. Rand Paul says that 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan lab was trying to create COVID-19. What? And not one person came forward. And what, 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan lab was trying to create COVID-19, and not one person came forward and told the American people the truth.

So that's 15 federal agencies that are absolute corrupt garbage filled with cowards. So let me ask you a question. Do you think you can know that there's no conspiracy because nobody came forward and no whistleblowers? I actually used to think that was a thing, and boy am I embarrassed. I used to actually argue that if thousands of people were involved, somebody would speak up. So you couldn't possibly have any kind of a secret that thousands of people would keep secret. Turns out you can do it quite easily and quite routinely, and it's one of the most common things happening in the world.

Do you remember when I tell my story in the 80s and 90s of being denied promotion for being a white man, and when I tell it to Black guys they say that never happened? Do you know why I didn't tell you? Do you know why 80 million people didn't tell you? 80 million people kept the secret, basically. I mean that's not completely true, but around 80 million people thought it would be better to just shut the fuck up and not talk about it because you get in more trouble than it's worth. It's easier just to change jobs or start a company yourself and escape the thing. You know, you're not going to fight every fight. So it's just easier to solve your own problem and let everybody else work it out.

So yes, 15 federal agencies, the State Department, and the Department of Justice: all corrupt garbage pieces of shit. And you're going to ask me to salute that? You're going to ask me to stand for that? Like stand up, cover my heart, and pray to that flag? Not a chance. Not a chance. I'm never standing up for the flag again.

All right. Well, I mean, if things got fixed, I might. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's looking to do anything he can to game the system to give away my money to student loan people. And he's trying everything. I mean, he's working hard on this. He's looking for every possible bureaucratic legal way that he can take my money and give it to people who made bad decisions. But yet he finds that he can't figure out any way to close the border. If only there was some way to close the border. He just doesn't have the power. Well, maybe it's because you're putting all your time in giving away my money to not only the people who you let in through the border you couldn't figure out how to close. Which literally, how many people in America now? 360 million? Something like that. The 360 million know how to do it. Is there anybody here who doesn't know how to do that? Do you think there's anybody here, if you were president, you think you couldn't close the border? Really? Is there anybody who thinks they couldn't do it? I mean, personally, you could do it. I could do it. You could do it. Every one of us could close the border tomorrow. But Joe Biden can't do it.

But I'll tell you what he can do. He can dig so deeply in my pockets that he can find some money that I still got to give to some people who did some things that should have been their own problem.

So the federal government is led by a brain-dead piece of shit thief who's clearly incompetent. But at least the Fed is pretty good. At least the Federal Reserve is — wait, is there a story today about the Fed? Oh yes. James O'Keefe had sent somebody, I guess it was a hetero guy who got a date with one of his female confederates. And this guy who works at the Fed, he said among other things that Trump is a crazy person and conservatives are dumb. And he said that the Reserve Board where Powell is head has promoted ESG issues like climate change, and he wants to be remembered in history as a savior. And that he's putting a big push on DEI and racial equity and wealth inequality. Is that exactly what we asked the Fed to do? I don't remember that being part of their job. I feel like this is a complete corruption, and the Fed is finding a way to be racist and trying really hard, trying really, really hard to be racist and figure out how to take my money and give it to other people. So the Fed is corrupted garbage.

But let's see how they're doing. So I saw a post by Jesse Cohen who said inflation is going up. The Fed has been trying to keep interest rates high to keep the economy from heating up and raising inflation, but it's not working. So inflation's still going up. So it looks like the Fed won't be cutting their rates anytime soon because what they've done so far hasn't worked.

Well, at least the FDA is good. At least we can trust the FDA, am I right? I wonder if there are any stories about the FDA today. Well, NBC News has a story that said the FDA is accelerating their approval program. So they've got a program so they can speed access to promising drugs. Now that sounds good. If it isn't too dangerous looking, they'll speed the approval of them. That sounds good, doesn't it? That's sort of what you want. What, in the comments you're acting like speeding your drug approval is some kind of bad thing or something? What's wrong with you? You don't like speedy drug approvals like the vaccines? They were so speedy it made you feel good, didn't it?

Well, it turns out that a new study finds that many cancer drugs approved under that program — you know, the speedy one — remain unproven after five years. So apparently they approved a whole bunch of cancer drugs that don't do anything, or at least hasn't been proven they do anything. Surprise.

Well, let's talk about the FISA extension bill. So the thing I learned today is that the FISA bill was either killed or totally not killed. So sort of a Schrödinger's cat FISA situation. It's either killed or totally not killed. And I read the news today, so I know it's one of those, but I don't know which one. So I'm going to try to explain to you what is a confusing topic, but I'm going to summarize it in a way that really only I can. I don't like to brag, I don't like to brag, but I'm really good at summarizing and it's really complicated. So if you stick with me, watch how I just take all that complication and just put it into one easily understood concept. You ready?

All right, so FISA, of course you know, is that thing where the government can spy on foreigners like ISIS terrorists. But if you were an American and you placed a phone call to any of these foreign bad people, then the government would be able to check you out too and all of your communications because that would make you connected to the bad people. Does that make sense? Makes total sense, right? What could go wrong? Oh, what could go wrong is it could be misused just to spy on people for political reasons, exactly as it was with Trump and Tucker Carlson and probably me. Yeah, probably me. You don't think they're into all of my communications already? Of course, because I've shared messages with people from other countries who in my own opinion I don't know too much about. You know, just social media back and forth on topics and stuff. But would that be enough for them to check out everything about me if they didn't like one of the people that I message? I think so. I think they could make any excuse to go after anybody for anything if they've talked to anybody from another country.

So we don't really trust this thing. So now that you've heard what it is and that it exists, you're probably saying to yourself, huh, I'd like to have less of that. Well, some say that this thing that they were going to vote on was going to tighten that up so that the government couldn't do what I just said, which is bend the rules to just illegally spy on Americans.

But let me read this to you exactly what's going on. So as The Hill explained, there are 19 Republicans who broke with their party and voted against advancing a procedural move to begin the debate on a bill that authorizes warrantless surveillance powers. Right? Was that a little confusing because there was a lot in that sentence? So I'm going to break it down. Let me read it again and then I'll break it down. So The Hill says there are 19 Republicans who broke with their party — so that's opposite of the party — and voted against — so opposite of the party but opposite the bill — and against advancing a procedural move to begin debate on a bill to reauthorize the warrantless — which is don't need a warrant, the opposite of a warrant — of surveillance powers. So really the vote was against advancing procedural move to begin a debate about reauthorizing not using a warrant.

Okay, I don't know what's going on, but something about FISA. Tucker is not too happy. Tucker Carlson, he says that Republican Mike Turner, who's in the intelligence committee, lied about everything about what FISA is. Now I listen to the video clip and I would say yes, that is an accurate characterization. It looks like some Republican lied about everything that that bill does. Why would they do that? I mean it's an opinion, but it looked like all lies to me. And yeah, and I guess Mike Turner was acting like the only way that FISA would backfire is if you happen to be talking to ISIS. But they should be talking to you if you had a phone call with ISIS. Well, I don't think it's all about that. I don't think it's just if you had a phone call with ISIS. Who believes that?

And then there's questions about why Mike Johnson's for it and for Ukrainian funding too. And Tucker says there's this trick that the intelligence people use, which is they take you to the SCIF and they show you secret stuff that you're not allowed to talk about, but you also don't know if it's real. Now remember I told you that in my mind when you get into power, whether you're president or you become the speaker, that somebody from the intelligence groups talks to you for the first time and says, all right, now that you're in power, we're going to tell you the things that nobody else knows, and you can't tell anybody either. So come into this SCIF, which is this secure room where you can't take a copy of anything, you can't bring your phone, but you could look at a document and then walk away from it. But you can never talk about it.

And Tucker says that's how they control you because you don't know if that's real or not. So if they show you a document that says if we don't fund Ukraine we will be nuked, and here's the proof. Here's the secret message from — I'm just making this up, by the way — here's a secret message from Putin saying he's going to nuke us the day something. And then you're like, oh my God, I'm the only person who knows except the intelligence people, and I can't tell people. I can't tell the public. I can't even tell my colleagues. So I guess it's up to me, Mike Johnson, to save the world and be a martyr because the world will never know what I know, and they'll never know I saved them. I saved the whole world. But man, I'm glad those intelligence people got to me.

But if you don't know if the intelligence is real, it simply gives the intelligence people a way to control everything important, you know, that's geopolitical or big. Now I don't know if that's the case, that that's really happening in the real world. I will tell you that if I were in the intelligence community, I'd probably do that if I wanted to control things. So I can't say it's not happening.

Anyway, there's some kind of FISA thing that might reappear as a quote clean bill. But I'm glad that 19 Republicans pushed back. So that's the only good thing happening today.

Vivek did a really interesting bit of persuasion in which he was talking about climate change. And 400 years from now or a thousand years from now we would look back and laugh that we thought the world would fall apart if the temperature went up one degree. Now I said to myself I need to look into that a little bit because the persuasion part was excellent. That this is a good persuasion lesson. So Vivek is taking something we're familiar with, which is that we laugh at the thought that the sun was going around the earth, and in modern times we would laugh about that. But back then it seemed like a fact. So he says, could the same thing be happening with climate change? You know, when you're in the moment it looks real and an existential threat. But in a thousand years are we just going to laugh at it, say why did we ever think that we're going to die because the temperature went up a little?

Well, so I asked myself, how do we know the temperature stuff is accurate? Because when you're talking about one degree, doesn't that feel like that would be less than we could actually accurately measure? Does your common sense tell you that one degree over decades by 2050 — I think is the one degree — if it goes up one degree by 2050, do you think we could ever measure that to within one degree and really know that it went up or why?

So I thought I'd go to Google and find out. Is it really just one degree? It's not exactly that. So there's a little bit of hyperbole there. But the projection is that we go up 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. So that's the official prediction. And that we might go up from anywhere from 4 to 7 degrees by 2100. So I would say it's pretty important that we can measure accurately.

So I went to Google and I asked the question, are measurements of temperature accurate? Now Google, as you know, is the keeper of the Republic, so it's definitely going to tell me that it's accurate, right? Don't you think? I mean if you go to Google it's going to be nothing but non-stop confirming things about climate change. And so I went to ask about the NOAA. You know, that's NASA, blah blah blah, Oceanic group. So they're the official keepers of the temperature data.

And here's what Google says in its highlighted answer. You know it likes to highlight and summarize some answers, so that means that's sort of the official Google answer. So how accurate is NOAA's temperature data according to Google? It says, quote, NOAA uses data of known quality or from sources acceptable to the relevant scientific and technical communities in order to ensure the synthesized products are valid, credible, and useful.

Wait a minute. Did I read that right? This is an exact quote off of Google. They use data of known quality. Well, that's an interesting choice of words. Known quality. Why wouldn't they say highly accurate? Why wouldn't they say demonstrated to be super accurate data? But instead they use the word known quality. What if the known quality is less than perfect? Oh, we'll get to synthesized. Oh, we'll get there. Don't worry. I'm building up to it. We'll get to synthesized.

So they won't say it's high quality. They'll say it's known quality. Now if you've ever lived in the real world for more than five minutes and you ask a question, are you sure that you have accurate data, and somebody responds by saying our data is of known quality, that's telling you that they don't know how accurate it is. Is there any other way to interpret that? We know the quality, but why don't they say we know the quality is high? They just know the quality. That's a surprising phrase.

What else do they say? Is from sources that are acceptable to the relevant communities, technical and scientific. Acceptable. Wait a minute. Acceptable is subjective, isn't it? Oh, that's acceptable. Is it acceptable based on criteria or is it acceptable because they just all agreed and somebody told them this is good enough and they said yeah, that's good enough? What kind of scientific data standard is acceptable? That's not a standard for data. It just means people agreed to accept it.

You know what else people agreed to? Well, apparently there are 17 federal agencies agreed to keep their mouth shut about the COVID thing for years. So if somebody says something is an acceptable source, doesn't that really mean that they don't want to say it's not acceptable? Meaning they don't want to be the one who says I'm not sure that's a good source.

And then it says in order to ensure that synthesized products are valid. What do you think would be a synthesized product? Well, I think in this case product is used for the measurement itself. So the product is the data they're producing. The data as a product that then other people can put into their models and make decisions on. It's a product. And they're saying it's a synthesized product, which means they're taking sources from various places and combining them.

If you heard that somebody took data from several different sources and combined them and synthesized them, what would you think about the quality of the data if you didn't know anything else? Came from different places and then we synthesized it. Well, I'll tell you one thing. You wouldn't believe that it's accurate within one degree.

Let me give you an example of some synthesized data. You ready? One day when I was in college I got my grade for the year, I think maybe for the year, and it was much lower than I knew it should have been. So I went to my professor and I said I'm looking at all my test scores and I'm looking at my biggest one. The biggest test score was the one that counted the most and I totally nailed it. And so I said, you know, given these test scores, the average that you gave me for the class doesn't make sense. It's literally not the average of these scores. And here's what the alcoholic professor told me — yes, he was literally an alcoholic. He said, well, I lost your test. I said what? Yeah, he said the big one that you got, you say you got the good grade on, I don't have it. I lost it. You mean I didn't turn it in? No, you turned it in. I lost it. And so I said how did you give me a grade when my biggest most important test was not in the mix? And he said I synthesized it from the other grades that I did have. He averaged my poorer grades together and gave me a grade because he lost the most important score that I had nailed completely. That is synthesized data right there, ladies and gentlemen. That's what synthesized data is. You took it from different sources and you talked yourself into it being accurate because you hoped nobody would ask you a detailed question. And I asked him a detailed question and the whole thing fell apart because it was synthesized. My entire life depends on these grades and stuff. He's just synthesizing them.

So I would say that Google does not support the temperature data as being accurate. They only support it as being of a known quality from sources that are acceptable. If the internet won't tell you the data is accurate and Google won't tell you it's accurate, do you really think it's accurate? Do you really think that Google, probably one of the most valiant supporters of all climate change alarm, you think they wouldn't tell you it was accurate if they knew it was accurate? They can't do it. I'll be damned.

Well, meanwhile Arizona passed a law to ban almost all abortions except the life or the health of the mother. Even Trump disagrees. He says they think that'll get walked back a little bit. Probably, he says it'll definitely change. So he thinks that they'll add a few more exceptions or maybe add a little timing thing. So we don't know.

Now this led people to say to me, Scott, why do you say that Trump is playing this perfectly by saying it's a state's issue and there's some kind of middle ground that makes sense for the country? And the question I was asked is, can you name one independent who changed their vote to Trump because he found this middle ground state thing? Is that the right question, Scott? Can you name me even one independent who was not going to vote for Trump but now is just because he had this sort of middle ground non-committal thing?

That's the wrong question. The question is energy. Remember Trump is an energy monster. He's not about the fact check. He's about the energy. And what he did was he tried to take the energy out of the abortion question. Because every time you bring it up, he's not going to say something that causes a fight. He's going to say, well, thanks to me you get to work that out with your state. So you're in much better shape to get a law that your state likes by majority than if the federal government did it. So I actually made it easier for you to get what you want in your state. Now if your state doesn't want what you want, well that would be sort of between you and your state. And at least that's easier to fight with the state than it is with the federal government.

So we've moved it into the place. In other words, Trump moved it from a life and death, kill the baby or don't kill the baby, which is enormous energy, right? People will get off the couch for abortion if you let it become the emotional thing. You know, you're controlling women's body or you're killing a baby. They'll definitely get off the couch for that. Do you know what they won't get off the couch for? Well, let me explain how FISA works. FISA, you've got the you're against the advancing of the procedural thing to debate the reauthorization of the warrant. That doesn't get anybody off the couch because bureaucracy is not exciting.

So Trump basically said let's bury this in the bureaucracy where it belongs because it does belong there. And that takes the energy out of it. It takes the fun out of it. It keeps you on your couch. So all Trump needs to do to win is to make sure abortion is not the lighthouse topic. You know, if abortion is the lighthouse, then all the moths are going to be like yes, walk toward the lighthouse. We'll vote against Trump, monster. But if the lighthouse isn't lit and it's just a bunch of other topics like, well, you know, there's the inflation and you got the border and stuff, I think Trump wins. So I think Trump wins.

So think of the abortion question and Trump's opinion on it as an energy play, not a play to get some specific voter to change their mind. You want some people to be less interested in voting. That's it. Your opponents.

All right, there's a new poll from Ipsos. It says Biden has a clear — that he's got 41% approval or actually people would vote for him compared to Trump at 37%. So the polling from one of the more credible, they say, outfits is that Biden has leapt ahead and now he's winning. Based on what changed? What exactly changed? Trump softened on abortion? I don't think that changed it. What changed?

Well, so I looked at the FiveThirtyEight rankings of pollsters and they're 17th, which doesn't sound good. In reliability there's 17th in reliability, but it's actually out of like a hundred. If you're in the top 17 out of a hundred or so that would be toward the top. Do we trust Ipsos? I don't think so. I don't think I live in a country where I can just automatically trust polls. I think that the polls are going to have to support any cheating. So if there's any planned manipulation of the election — and I don't have any information that they would, but if they did — they would have to rig some of the polls first.

How hard is it to rig a poll if you're the CIA or the FBI? You walk into a polling company and you say, you know, we know a lot about you. It'd be a shame if the news heard about it. Sure would be good for us if Biden had some good poll results. Do you think that happens in the real world? I don't know. Probably it probably happens in the real world. Yeah. Somebody needs access. Somebody needs a favor. Yeah, I don't believe that polling is necessarily a non-corrupt entity. So I don't believe it automatically.

Speaking of polls that we don't believe automatically, Axios is reporting that 42% of Latino adults surveyed said they support building a wall or a fence on the border. That's 12 points up from December 2021. And 38% support sending all undocumented immigrants back to their country. So 38% of Latinos want to send all undocumented immigrants back home. Now that's up from 28% in 2021. So there's been a big surge. Obviously the open border is a big part of that. And 64% of Latinos say they support giving the president the authority to shut the border. No, the president has the authority to shut the border. Stop acting like the president can't shut a border. I mean does anybody believe the president can't shut a border? Like I don't have to even look at the law to know that that's stupid. You know, I'll say it again. Commander in chief, immediate danger to the country, he can do anything he wants. Commander in chief, immediate danger to the country, he can do anything he wants. Not legally, not legally, but he can do anything he wants and then work it out later. So first you close it and then you see if it was legal. That is the correct order under an immediate threat.

Well, there's a report that the IDF is using AI to identify targets in Gaza. And there's some kind of presentation that somebody got a hold of. I saw this in Mariano's post and it showed somebody explaining how if they know a few people who are targets they can use their what they call their magic dust programs basically to figure out who else they're associated with and whether those people they're associated with are also legitimate targets. So presumably it's looking at databases of people's activities and maybe demographics and profiling and who knows what else. But it does apparently help them target people.

Now the way the story is being reported in Mariano's feed is that the IDF said it was not using AI to identify targets. But then the claim here is that here's a PowerPoint presentation in which the IDF is explaining they're totally using AI to identify targets. And it's an AI tool called Lavender.

Well, here's my take on that. I don't know that AI means AI anymore. I think there was a time when we said AI was any complicated program that could do some things. But now AI is this sort of self-deciding LLM model. I don't think that they're using the LLM model for this. I don't think they're using — why are people saying OJ is dead? Is OJ dead? My feed is full of people saying OJ is dead. Is that real? Can you check that? Yeah, people are saying OJ Simpson's dead. Wow. Well, that's of cancer. I'll be darned. I'll be darned. OJ is dead, huh? He was 76. OJ was 76. I had no idea. Prostate cancer. Well, I'll be darned. Huh.

All right, well, so let me just finish up this point. It might be true that IDF is not using AI as they define it, but it probably is true that they're using a program that's more less AI and more just straightforward checking against other sources. So it might be both true and false at the same time depending on how you define it.

All right, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I think the OJ death may be related to blocking Erica because Erica reported he blocked her. And I think karma got him honestly. I think if it wasn't the murders it was the blocking of Erica. Somebody say OJ died from eating too many Lunchables? No, I think you would have to eat dozens of them before it would kill you.

All right. Well, I don't want to talk about OJ anymore.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, this brings me to the conclusion of my amazing show. I'm going to say goodbye to the folks who are not on Locals and talk to them privately for a little bit. And let me put my summary on this show. So the states are a mess. The State Department is racist. The federal agencies are full of liars. Climate change looks like at least the measurement of it — don't know about the actuality of it, but the measurement of it looks like kind of — and can't trust the FDA, can't trust anybody. That's where we are. We're in a zero trust environment. But we might figure a way out now.

Makes you wonder if there's a deathbed confession, doesn't it? Do you think OJ did a deathbed confession to anybody who will tell you after the funeral? Okay, I got to admit it. He told me.

All right, that's all for today. Thanks for joining everybody. Locals, stay with me. I'm going to go private just for Locals. See you tomorrow, same place, same time.

you're still here well ladies and gentlemen I don't know if anybody can see me yet this is a little bit of a timeline before the St off my so I'm seeing you in both places it looks like interesting so do I have two feeds going or did it just uh connect to the existing feed I don't know what happened but it looks like we just created either two feeds or one that's working perfectly switched all right I'm going to close this phone so I don't I think this will close one of the feeds go to the regular feed if this doesn't work well watch us doing tech support in real time there we go the same feed everything's working today I'll even put my microphone in front of me that'll work that'll be better well good morning everybody what a show we got today all right if you'd like to take this experience of coffee with SC atams up to levels that nobody's ever even understood all you need for that is a cuper mug or glass a tanker gel suin a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine head the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it's going to happen now go oh that's so oh so good well I've got a theme for today I'm going to do a little state of the union today but I'm going to take it down to a more granular level granular level let's see if I can make this work it's working everything's working oh stop it take it down there we go that's better well the Federalist has a article saying that girls are way more conservative than they admit and they have closeted conservative beliefs do you think that's true that girls are more conservative than they admit gave some um examples that uh even though 80% don't identify as conservative 79% of uh of women uh think that a stay stay-at-home mom is equal in success to a woman in a professional field uh 74% like school choice um 71% oppose transgender surgeries 68% plant be married to have at least one child blah blah blah blah and don't like women competing in or don't like men competing in women's sports as they say but I he here's my theory I don't think any of those are conservative none of those are conservative those are just sort of Ordinary People issues aren't they the I mean to me it's just a preference whether you want to stay home or not it doesn't really seem like it's some kind of conservative liberal thing but you know it is definitely conservative or liberal is abortion and I didn't see it mentioned here's what I think I think that being a liberal just means being in favor of abortion nothing else I think all the other stuff is common sense stuff that we pretend as some kind of political thing I I don't think the trans transitioning children there's no way you can tell me that's a Democrat or Republican thing that is purely an insanity versus a a reasonable mind thing do you disagree how in the world is that a political thing it's not but the but abortion is so to me the entire conversation of left versus right is just sort of abortion there's not really anything else and that would also explain why boys are less likely to conform and say that they're uh liberals or conform to Liberal thought because number one they don't need to get abortions so the the number one reason to be a liberal doesn't apply you know unless they want to be allies and stuff but it wouldn't apply as directly as it would for a woman but here's my other hypothesis I believe that boys are rewarded for rebelling and girls are re rewarded for conforming so what I mean by that is the the pure effect if you're a girl you don't want to be mocked for having a different opinion if you're a boy you don't want to be mocked for being a joiner you know in other words I think there's a premium for being rebellious if you're male that other men recognize Rebellion as a as a symbol of power and agency and freedom and women might be a little more threatened by it and I think there's probably you know perfectly good biological evolutionary reasons for all of that so um I don't know if it's conservative beliefs that are closeted by the young women or if the only thing that really matters is abortion I think that's it all right let's talk about um all of our different government entities and see how they're doing I'd like to start with a few States if I may we'll start with California see how that's doing uh uh see uh according to just the news uh California is looking at a reparation bill on licensing so there are number of professions you need a license from manicurist to doctor you need a license and the idea is that the uh licensing requirements are racist because it's preventing black people from getting these jobs so I don't know if you've noticed but my state is totally racist against me are are you you're aware that California is the most racist state right meaning that Dei is everything and reparations and Equity are the thing so but I still have good weather right I don't have a lot of electricity in the state I'm not so sure the forest fires won't kill me the crime is encroaching on my neighborhood but at least I can go outside and not die I got to use the right pronoun or I'll go to jail I think and being white is almost criminal in my state but again the weather extraordinary let's compare that to Idaho in Idaho there uh the state according to the hill the Idaho schools will be unable to require staff and students to use a transgender uh students name and pronouns so you can't force the school or any of the students to use somebody's prefer pronouns in Idaho so let's compare California to Idaho um if I go to Idaho I can use any pronouns I want but just in schools I don't know about the rest of the state but in schools I use any pronoun I want but if I go outdoors in the winter I could die because of you know the weather and so good pronouns but I will die if I go outside versus all right here's my solution California is a much better deal if you can avoid contact with all the other people so the only thing wrong with California is the other people the weather spectacular so if I go to Idaho I can I can at least associate with humans but if I go outoors I could die if I don't bring a jacket depending on the season in California I won't die if I go Outdoors but boy you don't want to run into people let's look at Seattle there's a Seattle dance squad that had the American flags on their outfits and they were told the audience members felt triggered and unsafe by the American flag ladies and gentlemen there was a time when I would have seen this story completely differently and I would have said to myself my god there was cap neck loving provocative uh left-leaning people how are they rejecting my country but today I'm going to join them in saying that the flag is uh no longer a symbol that I respect I'm going to say it right I don't I don't respect the flag as of really today I just decided when I was looking at that story you know what I'm going to read you the rest of the stories about our up country I'm going to tell you everything from the doj to the state department to every government entity is corrupt and racist and I don't support any of that I don't support them transferring my money to Ukraine or any other place I am absolutely not in favor of what my country is doing to me or it's other citizens so let me say unequivocably I'm on your side if you're American and you know I don't dislike you if you're Canadian but let me tell you where my alleg aliances my allegian is to the American people and not to the flag the flag has lost its ability to um attract my um respect so I've lost my respect for the American flag because it no longer symbolizes something that in total I can support um so I don't support the leaders but I absolutely support the people so let me be as clear as possible I'm on your side people human beings and I'm not on the side of a stupid flag or the brainwashing or the propaganda or the lies or the or the racism that's coming behind the color of that flag so you might not like it because I know it's painful to hear if you spend your whole life saluting the flag I'm not even sure I could salute it at this point I you remember I agreed with Colin Kaepernick when I said you know what if you've got your issue I don't like it it's offensive if you don't stand for the flag and all that and I've really meant that but when I see how racist my country is against me well suddenly Colin's approach looks a little bit more reasonable doesn't it a little bit more reasonable let's talk about what else is wrong how about the Department of Justice well they're completely crooked appears if you look at the Trump lawfare stuff so Trump's run out of options trying to delay the stormmy Daniel's hush money payment thing but do you think there's any update on that yes there is Trump just posted a letter that apparently stormmy Daniels wrote and signed in 2018 and has said the following now I think it's real you know it's it's new news so we'll wait to see if somebody says it's fake but uh apparently on January 2018th Stormy Daniels wrote To whom may concern over the past few weeks I've been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many many many years ago the fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged Affair denied its existence in 2006 2011 2016 2017 and now again in 2018 I am not didn't denying this affair because I was paid quote hush money as has been reported in overseas own tabloids I'm denying this affair because it never happened it is not new now I assume that the defense is that she wrote it under duress or she wrote it because the hush money or something is that what the or the that's what the prosecution will say but here's my question whether or not not the uh the intention behind this letter was honesty or actually to earn the hush money I feel like this should make this whole thing go away if we had anything like a justice system the the mere existence of this letter you should make everybody involved say you know what I don't know if he did it or didn't do it but we can't go forward when this letter exists this is a pretty obvious case of corruption can you imagine if they were If This Were anyone else but Trump and this letter existed do do you do you think this would be a case there's no way anybody would go forward with this case when you could show that letter to the jury what would it take to convince you and a jury to convict this guy if you knew that the the so-called victim had said unequivocably and as clearly as you can and signed it that it didn't happen and there's no physical evidence that happened is there like nobody has a video you nobody has a blue dress it's just it's just two people's word and uh well there you go so I'd say the Department of Justice completely corrupt let's check in with the state department uh the state department has a Dei Chief who says quote for promotion at the the Department of State you must be able to document what you're doing to support diversity Equity inclusion and accessibility and that's how you'll be judged for promotion okay so the state department apparently is a overly racist organization who is not going to be too happy about promoting White People based on all evidence and so I have some evidence um I have some advice I have some advice for the white men who are still working at the state department can you guess what my advice is so you're working you're a white man at the state department and you've been told publicly so nobody's hiding it that uh it's all about the diversity Equity inclusion and you're not even going to get promoted unless you've done a good job on that so if you're a white man working at the state department what's your best strategy get the out of there you should leave as soon as possible they can't tell you any more directly they can't tell you any more directly than that get the out of there Jesus Christ what is the lag time between me being cancelled and me being right about every thing one year all right let's check in with the other federal agencies let's see ran Paul uh says that 15 Federal a agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan lab was trying to create covid-19 what and not one person came forward and what 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 2018 that the Wuhan lab was trying to create covid-19 and not one person came forward and told the American people the truth so that's 15 Federal uh agencies that are absolute corrupt garbage filled with cowards so uh let me ask you a question do you think you can know that there's no conspiracy because nobody came forward and no whistleblowers I actually used to think that was a thing and boy am I embarrassed I used to actually argue that if thousands of people were involved somebody would speak up so you couldn't possibly have you know any kind of a you you couldn't possibly have any kind of a secret that thousands of people would keep secret turns out you can do it quite easily and quite routinely and it's one of the most common things happening in the world do you remember when uh I tell my story in the the 80s and 90s of being uh denied promotion for being a white man and when I tell it to black guys they say that never happened do you know why I didn't tell you do you know why 80 million people didn't tell you 80 million people kept the secret basically I mean that's not completely true but around 80 million people thought it would be better to just shut the up and not talk about it because you get in more trouble than it's easier just to change jobs or you know start a company yourself and escape the thing you know you're not going to fight every fight so it's just easier to solve your own problem and let everybody else work it out so yes 15 federal agencies the state department and the Department of Justice all corrupt garbage pieces of and you going to ask me to salute that you're GNA ask me to stand for that like stand up cover my heart and and pray to that flag not a chance not a chance I'm never standing up for the flag again all right um well I mean if things got fixed I might uh meanwhile Joe Biden's looking to do anything he can to game the system to give away my money to uh student loan people and uh he he's he's trying everything I mean he's working hard on this he's looking for every possible bureaucratic legal way that he can take my money and give it to people who made bad decisions but yet he finds that he can't figure out any way to close the border if only if only there was some way to close the border H he just doesn't have the power well maybe it's because you're putting all your time in giving away my money to not only the people who you let in through the border you couldn't figure out how to close which literally 30 how many people in America now 360 million something like that the 360 million no people know to do is there anybody here who doesn't know how to do that do you think there's anybody here if if you were president you think you couldn't close the border really is there anybody who thinks they couldn't do it I mean personally you could do it I could do it you could do it every one of us could close the Border tomorrow but Joe Biden can't do it but I'll tell you what he can do he can dig so deeply in my pockets that he can find some money that I still got to give to some people who did some things that should have been their own problem so the federal government is uh led by a brain dead piece of Thief who's uh clearly incompetent but at least the FED is pretty good at least the Federal Reserve is wait did is there a story today about the FED oh yes James O'Keefe uh he had send somebody else's time I guess it was a heto guy who got a date with one of his female um Confederates and uh this guy who works at the FED uh he said among other things that Trump is a crazy person and conservatives are dumb and uh he said that the Reserve board um where Powell is ahead has promoted ESG issues like climate change and he wants to be remembered in history as a savior uh and that his he's putting a big push on Dei and racial equity and and wealth inequality is that exactly what we asked the FED to do I don't I don't remember that being part of their job I feel like this is a complete corruption and the FED is finding a way to be racist uh and trying really hard trying really really hard to be racist and figure out how to take my money and give it to other people so the FED is corrupted garbage and uh but let's see how they're doing so I saw a post by Jessie Cohen who said uh you inflation is going up the FED has been trying to keep interest rates High to keep the economy from heating up and raising inflation and but it's not working so inflation's still going up so looks like the FED won't be cutting their rates anytime soon because what they've done so far hasn't worked well at least the FDA is good at least we can trust trust the FDA am I right I wonder if there are any stories about the FDA today well NBC News has a story that said the FDA is accelerating their approval program uh so they've got a program so they can speed access to promising drugs now that sounds good you they got some promising drugs and you if if it isn't too dangerous looking they'll they'll speed the approval of them that sounds good doesn't it that's sort of what what you don't want that what in the comments you're acting like speeding your drug approval is some kind of bad thing or something what's wrong with you you don't like Speedy drug approvals like the the vaccines they were so Speedy made you feel good didn't it well it turns out that a new study finds that many cancer drugs approved under that program you know the Speedy one remain unproven after five years so apparently they approved a whole bunch of cancer drugs that don't do anything or at least hasn't been proven they do anything surprise well let's talk about the fisa extension bill so the thing I learned today that is that the fisa um bill was either killed or totally not killed so sort of a Schrodinger's cat fisa situation it's either killed or totally not killed and I read the news today so I know it's one of those but I don't know which one so I'm going to try to uh explain to you what is a confusing topic but I'm going to summarize it in a way that really only I can I don't like to brag I don't like to brag but I'm really good at summarizing and it's really complicated so if you stick with me like Watch How I just take all that complication and just put it into one easily understood concept you ready all right so fisa of course you know is that thing where uh The Government Can spy on foreigners like Isis terrorists but if you were an American and you placed a phone call to any of these foreign bad people then the government would be able to check you out too and all of your Communications because that would make you connected to the bad people does that make sense makes total sense right what what could go wrong oh what could go wrong is it could be misused just to spy on people for political reasons exactly as it was with Trump and tuer Carlson and probably me yeah probably me you don't think they're into all of my communications already of course because I've shared messages with people from other countries who in my own opinion I don't know too much about you know just social media back and forth on topics and stuff but would that be enough for them to check out everything about me if they didn't like one of the people that I I message I think so I think they could make any excuse to go after anybody for anything if they've talked to anybody from another country so we don't really trust this thing so now that you've heard what it is and that it exists you're probably saying to yourself huh I'd like to have less of that well some say that this thing that they were going to vote on was going to tighten that up so that the government couldn't do what I just said which is bend the rules to just illegally spy on Americans but let me let me read this to you exactly what's going on so as the hill explained um there are 19 Republicans who broke with their party and voted against advancing a procedural move to begin the debate on a bill that authorizes Nation warrantless surveillance Powers right was that a little confusing because there was a lot in that sentence so I'm going to break it down let me read it again and then I'll break it down so the hill says there are 19 Republicans who broke with their party so that's opposite of the party and voted against so opposite of the party but opposite the bill and against advancing a procedural move to begin debate on a bill to reauthorize the warrant list which is don't need a warrant the opposite of a warrant of surveillance Powers so really the vote was against advancing procedural move to begin a debate about reauthorizing not using a warrant okay I don't know what's going on but something about fisa Tucker is not too happy tuer Carlson he says that uh Republican Mike Turner who's in the intelligence committee um lied about everything about what f is now I listen to the video clip and I would say yes that is an accurate characterization it he it looks like some Republican lied about everything that that bill does why would they do that I mean it's an opinion but it looked like all lies to me and yeah and I guess Mike Turner was acting like the only way that fisa would backfire is is if you happen to be talking to Isis but they should be talking to you if you had a phone call with Isis well I don't think it's all about that I don't think it's just if you had a phone call with Isis who believes that um and then uh then there's questions about why Mike Johnson's for it and for Ukrainian funding too and uh and uh and Tucker says there's this trick that the intelligence people use which is they take you to the skiff and they show you secret stuff that you're not allowed to talk about but you also don't know if it's real now remember I told you that in my mind when you get into Power whether you're president or you become the speaker that somebody from the intelligence groups talks to you for the first time and says all right now that you're in power we're going to tell you the things that nobody else knows and you can't tell anybody either so come into this skiff which is this secure room where you can't take a copy of anything you can't bring your phone but you could look at a document and then walk away from it but you can never talk about it and Tucker says that's how they control you because you don't know if that's real or not so if they show you a document that says if we don't fund Ukraine we will be nuked and here's the proof here here's the secret message from I'm just making this up by the way here's a secret message from Putin saying he's going to Nuke us the day something and then you like oh my God I'm the only person who knows except the intelligence people and I can't tell people I can't tell the public I can't even tell my colleagues so I I gu guess it's up to me Mike Johnson to save the world and and be a martyr because the world will never know what I know and they'll never know I save them I save the whole world but man I'm glad those intelligence people got to me but if you don't know if the intelligence is real it simply gives the intelligence people a way to control everything important you know that's geopolitical or big now I don't know know if that's the case that that's really happening in the real world I will tell you that if I were in the intelligence Community I'd probably do that if I wanted to control things so I can't say it's not happening anyway there's some kind of fisa thing that might reappear as a quote clean bill but uh I'm I'm glad that 19 Republicans pushed back so that's the only good thing happening today V did a really interesting bit of persuasion in which he was talking about climate change and WEA 400 years from now or a thousand years from now we would look back and laugh that we thought the world would fall apart if the temperature went up one degree now I said to myself I need to look into that a little bit because the persuasion part was excellent that this is a good persuasion lesson so aake is taking something we're familiar with which is that we laugh at the thought that the that the sun was going around the earth and modern times we would laugh about that but back then it was you know seemed like a fact so he says could the same thing be happening with climate change you know when you're in the moment it looks real and existential threat but in a thousand years are we just laugh at it say why did we ever think that we're going to die because the temperature went up a little well so I asked myself um how do we know the temperature stuff is accurate because when you're talking about one degree doesn't that feel like that would be less than we could actually accurately measure do does your common sense tell you that one degree over decades by 2050 I think is the one degree um if it goes up one degree by 2050 do you think we could ever measure that to within one degree and really know that it went up or why so I thought I'd go to Google and find out uh is it really just one degree it's not exactly that so there's a little bit of hyperbole there but uh so the projection is that we go up 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050 um so that's the official prediction and that uh we might go up from anywhere from 4 to 7° by 2100 so so I would say it's pretty important that we can measure accurately so I went to Google and I asked the question are are uh are measurements of temperature accurate now Google as you know is the keeper of Keeper of the Republic so it's definitely going to tell me that the that it's accurate right don't you think I mean if you go to Google it's going to be nothing but non-stop confirming things about climate change and so I went to the to ask about the Noah no OAA you know that's NASA blah blah blah Oceanic group so they're the official keepers of the temperature data and here's what uh Google says in its highlighted answer you know it likes to highlight and summarize some answers so that means that's sort of official Google answer so here how how accurate is Noah's uh temperature data according to go Google it says quote Noah uses data of known quality or from sources acceptable to the relevant scientific and Technical communities in order to ensure the synthesized products are valid credible and useful wait a minute that did I read that right this is an exact quote off of Google they use data of known quality well that's an interesting choice of words known quality why wouldn't they say highly accurate why wouldn't they say demonstrated to be super accurate data but instead they use the word known quality what if the known quality is less than perfect oh we'll get to synthesize oh oh we'll get there don't worry I'm building up to it we'll get to synthesized so they won't say it's high quality they'll say it's known quality now if you've ever lived in the real world for more than five minutes and somebody and you ask a question are you sure that you have accurate data and somebody responds by saying our data is of unnown qu quality that's telling you that they don't know how accurate it is is there any other way to interpret that we know the quality but why don't they say we know the quality is high they just know the quality that's a surprising phrase what else do they say is from sources that are acceptable to the relevant communities Technical and scient acceptable wait a minute acceptable is subjective isn't it oh that's acceptable is it acceptable based on criteria or is it acceptable because they just all agreed and somebody told them this is good enough and they said yeah that's good enough what what kind of scientific data standard is acceptable that's not a standard for data it just means people agreed to accept it you know what else people agreed to what well apparently there are 17 federal agencies agreed to keep their mouth shut about the co thing for years so if somebody says something is an acceptable Source doesn't that really mean that they don't want to say it's not acceptable meaning they don't want to be the one who says I'm not sure that's a good source and then it says in order to ensure that synthesized products are valid what do you think would be a synthesized product well I think in this case product is used for the measurement itself so the product is the data they're producing the data as a product that then other people can put into their models and make decisions on it's a product and they're saying it's a synthesized product which means they're taking sources from various places and combining them if you heard that somebody took data from several different sources and combined them and synthesize them what would you think about the quality of the data if you didn't know anything else came from different places and then we synthesized it well I'll tell you one thing you wouldn't believe you wouldn't believe it that that it's accurate within one degree let me give you an example of some synthesized data you ready um one day when I was in college I got my grade for the I think maybe for the year and it was much lower than I knew it should have been so I went to my professor and I said I'm looking at all my test scores and I'm looking at my my biggest one the biggest test score was the one that counted the most and I totally nailed it and so I said you know given these test scores the average that you gave me for the class doesn't make sense is it's literally not the average of these scores and here's what the uh the alcoholic Professor told me yes he was literally an alcoholic he said well I lost your test I said what yeah he said I the the big one that you got you say you got the good grade on I don't have it I lost it you mean I didn't turn it in no you turned it in I lost it and so I said how did you give me a grade when my biggest most important test was not in the mix and he said I synthesized it from the other grades that I did have he averaged my poor grades together and gave me a grade because he lost the most important score that I had nailed completely that's that is synthesized data right there ladies and gentlemen that's what synthesized data is you took it from different sources and you talked yourself into it being accurate because you hoped nobody would ask you a detailed question and I asked them a detailed question and the whole thing fell apart because it was synthesized my entire life you know depends on these grades and stuff he's just synthesizing them so um I would say that Google does not support the uh temperature data as being accurate they only support it as being of a known quality from sources that are acceptable if the if the Internet won't tell you the data is accurate and Google won't tell you it's accurate do you really think it's accurate do you really think that Google the probably the you know one of the most you know Valiant supporters of all climate change alarm you think they wouldn't tell you it was accurate if they knew it was accurate they can't do it I'll be damned well mean meanwhile Arizona passed the law to ban almost all abortions except the the life or the health of the mother even Trump disagrees he says they think that'll get walked back a little bit probably uh he says it'll definitely change so he thinks that they'll add a few more exceptions or maybe add a little timing thing so we don't know now this this led people to say to me Scott why you say that Trump is playing this perfectly by saying it's a state's issue and there's some kind of Middle Ground that makes sense for the country and the question I was asked is can you name one independent who changed their vote to Trump because he found this middle ground state thing is that the right question Scott can you name me even one independent who would would not GNA was not going to vote for Trump but now is just because he had this sort of Middle Ground non non-committal thing that's the wrong question the the question is energy remember Trump is an energy monster he's not about the fact check he's about the energy and what he did was he tried to take the energy out of the abortion question because every time you bring it up he's not going to say something that causes a fight he's going to say well uh thanks to me you get to work that out with your state so you're in much better shape to get a law that your state likes by majority than if the federal government did it so I actually made it easier for you to get what you want in your state now if your state doesn't want what you want well that would be sort of between you and your state and at least that's easier to fight with the state than it is with the federal government so you know we we've moved it into the place in other words Trump moved it from a life and death kill the baby or don't kill the baby which is enormous energy right people will get off the couch for abortion if you let it become the emotional thing you know you're controlling women's body or you're killing a baby they'll definitely get off the couch for that do you know what they won't get off the couch for well let me explain how fisa Works uh fisa you've got the you're against the advancing of the procedural thing to debate the reauthorization of the warrant that doesn't get anybody off the couch because bureaucracy is not exciting so Trump basically said let's bury this in the bureaucracy where it belongs because it does belong there and and that takes the energy out of it it takes the fun out of it it keeps you on your couch so all Trump needs to do to win is to make sure abortion is not the um the lighthouse topic you know if abortion is the lighthouse then then all the moths are going to be like yes walk toward the lighthouse we'll vote against Trump monster but if the lighthouse isn't lit and it's just a bunch of other topics like well you know there's the inflation and you got the border and you know stuff I think Trump wins so I think Trump wins so think think of the abortion question and Trump's opinion on it as an energy play not a play to get some specific voter to change their mind you want some people to be less interested in voting that's it your your opponents all right uh there's a new poll from ipsos it says uh Biden has a clear uh he that he's got 41% approval or actually people would vote for him compared to Trump at 37 so the polling from uh one of the more credible they say uh outfits is that Biden has leap leapt ahead and now he's winning based on what changed what exactly changed Trump softened on abortion I don't think that changed it what changed well so I looked at the five 38 rankings of of uh posters and they're 17th which doesn't sound good uh in reliability there's 17th in reliability but it's actually out of like a hundred if you're in the top 17 out of you know a 100 or so that would be toward the top do we trust ipsos I don't think so I I don't think I live in a country where I can just automatically trust polls um I think that the polls are going to have to sport any cheating so if there's any planned manipulation of the election and I don't have any information that they would but if they did they would have to uh they would have to rig some of the polls first how hard is it to rig a poll if you're the CIA or the FBI you walk into a polling company and you say you know we know a lot about you should be a shame if the news heard about it sure would be good for us if Biden had some good poll results do you think that happens in the real world I don't know probably it probably happens in the real world yeah somebody needs access somebody needs a favor yeah I don't I don't believe that polling um is necessarily A non-corrupt entity so I don't believe it automatically speaking of polls that we don't believe automatically um axios is reporting that 42% of Latino adults surveyed said they support building a wall or a fence on the border that's 12 points up from December 2021 and 38% uh support sending all undocumented immigrants back to their country so 38% of Latinos want to send all undocumented immigrants back home now that's up from 28% in 2021 so there's been a big surge obviously the open border is a big part of that um and 64% of Latinos say they support giving the president the authority to shut the border no the the president has the authority to shut the border stop acting like the president can't shut a border I mean does anybody believe the president can't shut a border like I don't have to even look at the law to know that that's stupid you know I'll say it again commanderin-chief immediate danger to the country he can do anything he wants commander-in-chief immediate danger to the country he can do anything he wants not legally not legally but he can do anything he wants and then work it out later so first you close it and then you see if it was legal that is the correct order under an immediate threat well there's a report that the IDF is using AI to identify Targets in Gaza and the there's some kind of presentation that somebody got a hold of I saw this in the uh Mario Na's post and it showed somebody explaining how if they know a few people who are uh targets they can use their what they call their magic dust uh programs basically to figure out who else they're associated with and whether those people they're associated with are also legitimate targets so presumably it's looking at you know databases of people's activities and maybe demographics and profiling and who knows what else but uh they do apparently it helps them Target people now um the way the story is being reported in Mario's fed is that the IDF said it was not using AI to identify targets but then the claim here is that here's a Power.

Point presentation in which the IDF is explaining they're totally using AI to identify targets and it's an AI tool called lavender well here's my take on that I don't know that AI means AI anymore I think there was a time when we said AI was you know any complicated program that could do some things but now ai is this sort of self- deciding llm model I don't think that they're using the L llm model for this I don't think they're using why is why are people saying OJ is dead is OJ dead my feed is full of people saying OJ is dead Is that real can you check that yeah people are saying OJ Simpson's dead wow well that's a of cancer I'll be darn I'll be darn OJ is dead huh he was 76 OJ was 76 I had no idea prostate cancer well I'll be darn huh all right well so let me just finish up this point um it might be true that IDF is not using AI as they Define it uh but it probably is true that they're using a program that's more you know less Ai and more just straightforward checking against other sources so it might be both true and false at the same time depending on how you how you uh how you define it all right ladies and gentlemen um yeah I I think the OJ death may be related to blocking Erica because Erica reported he he blocked her and I I think Karma got him honestly I think if it wasn't the murders it was the blocking of Erica somebody say OJ died from eating too many Lunchables no I think you would have to eat dozens of them before it would kill you all right um all right well I don't want to talk about OJ anymore all right ladies and gentlemen this brings me to the conclusion of my amazing show I'm going to uh say goodbye to the folks uh who are not on locals and uh talk to them privately for a little bit and uh let me put my uh summary on this show so the states are a mess the state department is racist the federal agencies are full of liars climate change looks like at least the measurement of it don't know about the actuality of it but the measurement of it looks like kind of and uh can't trust the FDA can't trust anybody that's where we are we're in a we're in a zero trust environment but we might figure a way out now um makes you wonder if there's a deathbed confession doesn't it do you think OJ did a deathbed confession to anybody who will tell you after the funeral okay I got to admit it he told me all right that's all for today thanks for joining everybody uh locals stay with me I'm going to go private just for locals see you tomorrow same place same time e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

you're still

here well ladies and gentlemen I don't

know if anybody can see me yet this is a

little bit of a timeline before the

St off

my so I'm seeing you in both places it

looks like interesting so do I have two

feeds

going or did it just uh connect to the

existing feed I don't know what happened

but it looks like we just created either

two feeds or one that's working

perfectly

switched all right I'm going to close

this phone so I don't I think this will

close one of the feeds go to the regular

feed if this doesn't

work

well watch us doing tech support in real

time there we go

the same feed everything's working

today I'll even put my microphone in

front of me that'll work that'll be

better well good morning

everybody what a show we got

today all

right if you'd like to take this

experience of coffee with SC atams up to

levels that nobody's ever even

understood all you need for that is a

cuper mug or glass a tanker gel suin a

canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee enjoy me now for the

unparallel pleasure of the dopamine head

the day the thing makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it's going to happen now

go oh that's so oh so

good well I've got a theme for

today I'm going to do a little state of

the union today but I'm going to take it

down to a more granular

level granular

level let's see if I can make this

work it's working everything's

working oh stop it take it down there we

go that's

better well the Federalist has a article

saying that girls are way more

conservative than they admit and they

have closeted conservative beliefs do

you think that's true that girls are

more conservative than they admit gave

some um

examples that uh even though 80% don't

identify as conservative

79% of uh of women

uh think that a stay stay-at-home mom is

equal in success to a woman in a

professional

field uh 74% like school

choice um 71% oppose transgender

surgeries

68% plant be married to have at least

one child blah blah blah blah and don't

like women competing in or don't like

men competing in women's sports as they

say but I he here's my theory I don't

think any of those are

conservative none of those are

conservative those are just sort of

Ordinary People issues aren't they the I

mean to me it's just a preference

whether you want to stay home or not it

doesn't really seem like it's some kind

of conservative liberal thing but you

know it is definitely conservative or

liberal is abortion and I didn't see it

mentioned here's what I think I think

that being a liberal just means being in

favor of

abortion nothing else I think all the

other stuff is common sense stuff that

we pretend as some kind of political

thing I I don't think the trans

transitioning children there's no way

you can tell me that's a Democrat or

Republican thing that is purely an

insanity versus a a reasonable mind

thing do you disagree how in the world

is that a political thing it's not but

the but abortion is so to me the entire

conversation of left versus right is

just sort of abortion there's not really

anything else and that would also

explain why boys are less likely to

conform and say that they're uh liberals

or conform to Liberal thought because

number one they don't need to get

abortions so the the number one reason

to be a liberal doesn't

apply you know unless they want to be

allies and stuff but it wouldn't apply

as directly as it would for a woman but

here's my other

hypothesis I believe that boys are

rewarded for

rebelling and girls are re rewarded for

conforming so what I mean by that is the

the pure effect if you're a girl you

don't want to be mocked for having a

different

opinion if you're a

boy you don't want to be mocked for

being a

joiner you know in other words I think

there's a premium for being rebellious

if you're male that other men recognize

Rebellion as a as a symbol of power and

agency and

freedom and women might be a little more

threatened by it and I think there's

probably you know perfectly good

biological evolutionary reasons for all

of

that so um

I don't know if it's conservative

beliefs that are closeted by the young

women or if the only thing that really

matters is abortion I think that's

it all right let's talk about um all of

our different government entities and

see how they're

doing I'd like to start with a few

States if I may we'll start with

California see how that's doing

uh uh see uh according to just the news

uh

California is looking at a reparation

bill on licensing so there are number of

professions you need a license from

manicurist to doctor you need a license

and the idea is that the uh licensing

requirements are racist because it's

preventing black people from getting

these

jobs

so I don't know if you've noticed but my

state is totally racist against me are

are you you're aware that California is

the most racist state right meaning that

Dei is everything and reparations and

Equity are the thing

so but I still have good

weather right I don't have a lot of

electricity in the state I'm not so sure

the forest fires won't kill me the crime

is encroaching on my

neighborhood but at least I can go

outside and not

die I got to use the right pronoun or

I'll go to jail I think and being white

is almost criminal in my state but again

the weather

extraordinary let's compare that to

Idaho in Idaho there uh the state

according to the

hill the Idaho schools will be unable to

require staff and students to use a

transgender uh students name and

pronouns so you can't force the school

or any of the students to use somebody's

prefer

pronouns in

Idaho so let's compare California to

Idaho um if I go to Idaho I can use any

pronouns I want but just in

schools I don't know about the rest of

the state but in schools I use any

pronoun I want but if I go outdoors in

the winter I could die because of you

know the weather and so good pronouns

but I will die if I go outside

versus all right here's my

solution California is a much better

deal if you can avoid contact with all

the other

people so the only thing wrong with

California is the other

people the weather

spectacular so if I go to Idaho I can I

can at least associate with humans but

if I go outoors I could die if I don't

bring a jacket depending on the season

in California I won't die if I go

Outdoors but boy you don't want to run

into people let's look at

Seattle there's a Seattle dance squad

that had the American flags on their

outfits and they were told the audience

members felt triggered and

unsafe by the American

flag ladies and gentlemen there was a

time when I would have seen this story

completely

differently and I would have said to

myself my god there was cap neck loving

provocative uh left-leaning people how

are they rejecting my

country but today I'm going to join them

in saying that the flag is uh no longer

a symbol that I

respect I'm going to say it right I

don't I don't respect the flag as of

really today I just decided when I was

looking at that story you know what I'm

going to read you the rest of the

stories about our up country I'm

going to tell you everything from the

doj to the state department

to every government entity is

corrupt and racist and I don't support

any of that I don't support them

transferring my money to Ukraine or any

other place I am absolutely not in favor

of what my country is doing to me or

it's other

citizens so let me say unequivocably I'm

on your side if you're American and you

know I don't dislike you if you're

Canadian

but let me tell you where my alleg

aliances my allegian is to the American

people and not to the flag the flag has

lost its ability to um attract

my um respect so I've lost my respect

for the American flag because it no

longer symbolizes something that in

total I can

support um so I don't support the

leaders but I absolutely support the

people so let me be as clear as possible

I'm on your side people human

beings and I'm not on the side of a

stupid flag or the brainwashing or the

propaganda or the lies or the

or the racism that's coming behind the

color of that

flag

so you might not like it because I know

it's painful to hear if you spend your

whole life saluting the flag I'm not

even sure I could salute it at this

point

I you remember I agreed with Colin

Kaepernick when I said you know what if

you've got your issue I don't like it

it's offensive if you don't stand for

the flag and all that and I've really

meant

that but when I see how racist my

country is against

me well suddenly Colin's approach looks

a little bit more reasonable doesn't it

a little bit more reasonable let's talk

about what else is wrong how about the

Department of Justice well they're

completely crooked appears if you look

at the Trump lawfare stuff so Trump's

run out of options trying to delay the

stormmy Daniel's hush money payment

thing but do you think there's any

update on that yes there is Trump just

posted a

letter that apparently stormmy Daniels

wrote and signed in 2018 and has said

the

following now I think it's real you know

it's it's new news so we'll wait to see

if somebody says it's fake but uh

apparently on January 2018th Stormy

Daniels wrote To whom may

concern over the past few weeks I've

been asked countless times to comment on

reports of an alleged sexual

relationship I had with Donald Trump

many many many years ago the fact of the

matter is that each party to this

alleged Affair denied its existence in

2006 2011 2016 2017 and now again in

2018 I am not didn't denying this affair

because I was paid quote hush money as

has been reported in overseas own

tabloids I'm denying this affair because

it never

happened it is not

new now I assume that the defense is

that she wrote it under duress or she

wrote it because the hush money or

something is that what the or the that's

what the prosecution will say but here's

my

question whether or not not the uh the

intention behind this letter was honesty

or actually to earn the hush

money I feel like this should make this

whole thing go away if we had anything

like a justice system the the mere

existence of this

letter you should make everybody

involved say you know what I don't know

if he did it or didn't do it but we

can't go forward when this letter

exists this is a pretty obvious case of

corruption can you imagine if they were

If This Were anyone else but Trump and

this letter

existed do do you do you think this

would be a case there's no way anybody

would go forward with this case when you

could show that letter to the

jury what would it take to convince you

and a jury to convict this guy if you

knew that the the so-called victim had

said unequivocably and as clearly as you

can and signed it that it didn't

happen and there's no physical evidence

that happened is there like nobody has a

video you nobody has a blue

dress it's just it's just two people's

word and uh well there you go so I'd say

the Department of Justice completely

corrupt let's check in with the state

department uh the state department has a

Dei Chief who says quote for promotion

at the the Department of State you must

be able to document what you're doing to

support diversity Equity inclusion and

accessibility and that's how you'll be

judged for

promotion okay so the state department

apparently is a overly racist

organization who is not going to be too

happy about promoting White People based

on all evidence and so I have some

evidence um I have some

advice I have some advice for the white

men who are still working at the state

department can you guess what my advice

is so you're working you're a white man

at the state department and you've been

told publicly so nobody's hiding it that

uh it's all about the diversity Equity

inclusion and you're not even going to

get promoted unless you've done a good

job on that so if you're a white man

working at the state department what's

your best

strategy get the out of there you

should leave as soon as possible they

can't tell you any more

directly they can't tell you any more

directly than that get the out of

there Jesus

Christ what is the lag time between me

being cancelled and me being right about

every

thing one year all right let's check in

with the other federal agencies let's

see ran Paul uh says that 15 Federal a

agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan lab

was trying to create

covid-19

what and not one person came forward

and what 15 federal agencies knew in

2018

2018 that the Wuhan lab was trying to

create covid-19 and not one person came

forward and told the American people the

truth so that's 15 Federal

uh agencies that are absolute

corrupt garbage filled with

cowards so uh let me ask you a question

do you think you can know that there's

no conspiracy because nobody came

forward and no

whistleblowers I actually used to think

that was a

thing and boy am I embarrassed I used to

actually argue that if thousands of

people were involved somebody would

speak up so you couldn't possibly have

you know any kind of a you you couldn't

possibly have any kind of a secret that

thousands of people would keep secret

turns out you can do it quite easily and

quite routinely and it's one of the most

common things happening in the

world do you remember when uh I tell my

story in the the 80s and 90s of being uh

denied promotion for being a white man

and when I tell it to black guys they

say that never happened do you know why

I didn't tell you do you know why 80

million people didn't tell you 80

million people kept the secret basically

I mean that's not completely true but

around 80 million people thought it

would be better to just shut the up

and not talk about it because you get in

more trouble than it's easier just to

change jobs or you know start a company

yourself and escape the thing you know

you're not going to fight every fight so

it's just easier to solve your own

problem and let everybody else work it

out so yes 15 federal agencies the state

department and the Department of Justice

all corrupt garbage pieces of

and you going to ask me to salute

that you're GNA ask me to stand for that

like stand up cover my heart and and

pray to that

flag not a chance not a chance

I'm never standing up for the flag again

all right um well I mean if things got

fixed I

might uh meanwhile Joe Biden's looking

to do anything he can to game the system

to give away my money to uh student loan

people and uh he he's he's trying

everything I mean he's working hard on

this he's looking for every possible

bureaucratic legal way that he can take

my money and give it to people who made

bad

decisions but yet he finds that he can't

figure out any way to close the border

if only if only there was some way to

close the border H he just doesn't have

the power well maybe it's because you're

putting all your time in giving

away my

money to not only the people who you let

in through the border you

couldn't figure out how to close which

literally

30 how many people in America now 360

million something like that the 360

million no people know to do is there

anybody here who doesn't know how to do

that do you think there's anybody here

if if you were president you think you

couldn't close the

border really is there anybody who

thinks they couldn't do it I mean

personally you could do it I could do it

you could do it every one of us could

close the Border tomorrow but

Joe Biden can't do it but I'll tell you

what he can do he can dig so deeply in

my pockets that he can find some money

that I still got to give to some people

who did some things that should have

been their own

problem so the federal government is uh

led by a brain dead piece of Thief

who's uh clearly

incompetent but at least the FED is

pretty good at least the Federal Reserve

is wait did is there a story today about

the

FED oh yes James O'Keefe uh he had send

somebody else's time I guess it was a

heto guy who got a date with one of his

female um

Confederates and uh this guy who works

at the FED uh he said among other things

that Trump is a crazy person and

conservatives are

dumb and uh he said that the Reserve

board um where Powell is ahead has

promoted ESG issues like climate change

and he wants to be remembered in history

as a

savior uh and that his he's putting a

big push on Dei and racial equity and

and wealth

inequality is that exactly what we asked

the FED to do I don't I don't remember

that being part of their

job I feel like this is a complete

corruption and the FED is finding a way

to be

racist uh and trying really hard trying

really really hard to be racist and

figure out how to take my money and give

it to other people so the FED is

corrupted garbage and

uh but let's see how they're

doing so I saw a post by Jessie Cohen

who said uh you inflation is going up

the FED has been trying to keep interest

rates High to keep the economy from

heating up and raising

inflation and but it's not working so

inflation's still going up so looks like

the FED won't be cutting their rates

anytime soon because what they've done

so far hasn't

worked well at least the FDA is

good at least we can trust trust the FDA

am I right I wonder if there are any

stories about the FDA

today well NBC News has a story that

said the FDA is accelerating their

approval

program uh so they've got a program so

they can speed access to promising drugs

now that sounds good you they got some

promising

drugs and you if if it isn't too

dangerous looking they'll they'll speed

the approval of them that sounds good

doesn't it that's sort of what what you

don't want that what in the comments

you're acting like speeding your drug

approval is some kind of bad thing or

something what's wrong with you you

don't like Speedy drug approvals like

the the

vaccines they were so

Speedy made you feel good didn't it well

it turns out that a new study finds that

many cancer drugs approved under that

program you know the Speedy one

remain unproven after five

years so apparently they approved a

whole bunch of cancer drugs that don't

do anything or at least hasn't been

proven they do anything

surprise well let's talk about the fisa

extension bill so the thing I learned

today that is that the

fisa um bill was either killed or

totally not

killed so sort of a Schrodinger's cat

fisa situation it's either killed or

totally not killed and I read the news

today so I know it's one of those but I

don't know which one so I'm going to try

to uh explain to you what is a confusing

topic but I'm going to summarize it in a

way that really only I can I don't like

to brag I don't like to brag but I'm

really good at summarizing and it's

really complicated so if you stick with

me like Watch How I just take all that

complication and just

put it into one easily understood

concept you

ready all

right so fisa of course you know is that

thing where uh The Government Can spy on

foreigners like Isis terrorists but if

you were an American and you placed a

phone call to any of these foreign bad

people then the government would be able

to check you out too and all of your

Communications because that would make

you connected to the bad people does

that make sense makes total sense right

what what could go wrong oh what could

go wrong is it could be misused just to

spy on people for political reasons

exactly as it was with Trump and tuer

Carlson and probably me yeah probably me

you don't think they're into all of my

communications already of course because

I've shared messages with people from

other countries who in my own opinion I

don't know too much about you know just

social media back and forth on topics

and stuff but would that be enough for

them to check out everything about me if

they didn't like one of the people that

I I message I think so I think they

could make any excuse to go after

anybody for anything if they've talked

to anybody from another country so we

don't really trust this thing so now

that you've heard what it is and that it

exists you're probably saying to

yourself huh I'd like to have less of

that well some say that this thing that

they were going to vote on was going to

tighten that up so that the government

couldn't do what I just said which is

bend the rules to just illegally spy on

Americans

but let me let me read this to you

exactly what's going on so as the hill

explained um there are 19 Republicans

who broke with their party and voted

against advancing a procedural move to

begin the debate on a bill that

authorizes Nation warrantless

surveillance

Powers right was that a little confusing

because there was a lot in that sentence

so I'm going to break it down let me

read it again and then I'll break it

down so the hill says there are 19

Republicans who broke with their party

so that's opposite of the party and

voted

against so opposite of the party but

opposite the

bill and against advancing a procedural

move to begin debate on a bill to

reauthorize the warrant list which is

don't need a warrant the opposite of a

warrant of surveillance Powers so really

the vote was against advancing

procedural move to begin a

debate about

reauthorizing not using a

warrant okay I don't know what's going

on but something about

fisa Tucker is not too happy tuer

Carlson he says that uh Republican Mike

Turner who's in the intelligence

committee um lied about everything about

what f is now I listen to the video clip

and I would say yes that is an accurate

characterization it he it looks like

some

Republican lied about everything that

that bill

does why would they do

that I mean it's an opinion but it

looked like all lies to me

and yeah and I guess Mike Turner was

acting like the only way that fisa would

backfire is is if you happen to be

talking to Isis but they should be

talking to you if you had a phone call

with

Isis well I don't think it's all about

that I don't think it's just if you had

a phone call with Isis who believes

that

um and then uh then there's questions

about why Mike Johnson's for it and for

Ukrainian funding too and uh and uh and

Tucker says there's this trick that the

intelligence people

use which is they take you to the skiff

and they show you secret stuff that

you're not allowed to talk about but you

also don't know if it's

real now remember I told you that in my

mind when you get into Power whether

you're president or you become the

speaker that somebody from the

intelligence groups talks to you for the

first time and says all right now that

you're in power we're going to tell you

the things that nobody else knows and

you can't tell anybody either so come

into this skiff which is this secure

room where you can't take a copy of

anything you can't bring your phone but

you could look at a document and then

walk away from it but you can never talk

about

it and Tucker says that's how they

control you because you don't know if

that's real or not so if they show you a

document that says if we don't fund

Ukraine we will be nuked and here's the

proof here here's the secret message

from I'm just making this up by the way

here's a secret message from Putin

saying he's going to Nuke us the day

something and then you like oh my God

I'm the only person who knows except the

intelligence people and I can't tell

people I can't tell the public I can't

even tell my colleagues so I I gu guess

it's up to me Mike Johnson to save the

world and and be a martyr because the

world will never know what I know and

they'll never know I save them I save

the whole world but man I'm glad those

intelligence people got to

me but if you don't know if the

intelligence is real it simply gives the

intelligence people a way to control

everything important you know that's

geopolitical or

big now I don't know know if that's the

case that that's really happening in the

real world I will tell you that if I

were in the intelligence Community I'd

probably do that if I wanted to control

things so I can't say it's not

happening anyway there's some kind of

fisa thing that might reappear as a

quote clean

bill but uh I'm I'm glad that 19

Republicans pushed back so that's the

only good thing happening today

V did a really interesting bit of

persuasion in which he was talking about

climate change and WEA 400 years from

now or a thousand years from now we

would look back and laugh that we

thought the world would fall apart if

the temperature went up one degree now I

said to myself I need to look into that

a little bit because the persuasion part

was excellent that this is a good

persuasion lesson so aake is taking

something we're familiar with which is

that we laugh at the thought that the

that the sun was going around the earth

and modern times we would laugh about

that but back then it was you know

seemed like a fact so he says could the

same thing be happening with climate

change you know when you're in the

moment it looks real and existential

threat but in a thousand years are we

just laugh at it say why did we ever

think that we're going to die because

the temperature went up a

little well so I asked myself

um how do we

know the temperature stuff is accurate

because when you're talking about one

degree doesn't that feel like that would

be less than we could actually

accurately measure do does your common

sense tell you that one degree over

decades by 2050 I think is the one

degree um if it goes up one degree by

2050 do you think we could ever measure

that to within one degree and really

know that it went up or why so I thought

I'd go to Google and find out uh is it

really just one

degree it's not exactly that so there's

a little bit of hyperbole there but uh

so the projection is that we go

up 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by

2050 um so that's the official

prediction and that uh we might go up

from anywhere from 4 to 7° by

2100 so so I would say it's pretty

important that we can measure accurately

so I went to Google and I asked the

question are are uh are measurements of

temperature

accurate now Google as you know is the

keeper of Keeper of the Republic so it's

definitely going to tell me that the

that it's accurate right don't you think

I mean if you go to Google it's going to

be nothing but non-stop confirming

things about climate

change and so I went to the to ask about

the Noah no OAA you know that's NASA

blah blah blah Oceanic group so they're

the official keepers of the temperature

data and here's what uh Google says in

its highlighted answer you know it likes

to highlight and summarize some answers

so that means that's sort of official

Google answer so here how how accurate

is Noah's uh temperature data according

to go Google it says quote Noah uses

data of known quality or from sources

acceptable to the relevant scientific

and Technical communities in order to

ensure the synthesized products are

valid credible and

useful wait a

minute that did I read that right this

is an exact quote off of Google they use

data of known

quality well that's an interesting

choice of words known

quality why wouldn't they say highly

accurate why wouldn't they

say demonstrated to be super accurate

data but instead they use the word known

quality what if the known quality is

less than perfect oh we'll get to

synthesize oh oh we'll get there don't

worry I'm building up to it we'll get to

synthesized so they won't say it's high

quality they'll say it's known

quality now if you've ever lived in the

real world for more than five minutes

and somebody and you ask a question are

you sure that you have accurate data and

somebody responds by saying our data is

of unnown qu

quality that's telling you that they

don't know how accurate it is is there

any other way to interpret that we know

the

quality but why don't they say we know

the quality is high they just know the

quality that's a surprising phrase what

else do they say is from sources that

are acceptable to the relevant

communities Technical and

scient

acceptable wait a minute acceptable is

subjective

isn't it oh that's acceptable is it

acceptable based on

criteria or is it acceptable because

they just all agreed and somebody told

them this is good enough and they said

yeah that's good

enough what what kind of scientific data

standard is

acceptable that's not a standard for

data it just means people agreed to

accept

it you know what else people agreed to

what well apparently there are 17

federal agencies agreed to keep their

mouth shut about the co thing for

years so if somebody says something is

an acceptable Source doesn't that really

mean that they don't want to say it's

not acceptable meaning they don't want

to be the one who says I'm not sure

that's a good

source and then it says in order to

ensure that synthesized products are

valid what do you think would be a

synthesized

product well I think in this case

product is used for the measurement

itself so the product is the data

they're producing the data as a product

that then other people can put into

their models and make decisions on it's

a product and they're saying it's a

synthesized product which means they're

taking sources from various places and

combining

them if you heard that somebody took

data from several different sources and

combined them and synthesize them what

would you think about the quality of the

data if you didn't know anything else

came from different places and then we

synthesized it well I'll tell you one

thing you wouldn't believe you wouldn't

believe it that that it's accurate

within one

degree let me give you an example of

some synthesized data you

ready um one day when I was in college I

got my grade for the I think maybe for

the year and it was much lower than I

knew it should have been so I went to my

professor and I said I'm looking at all

my test scores and I'm looking at my my

biggest one the biggest test score was

the one that counted the most and I

totally nailed it and so I said you know

given these test scores the average that

you gave me for the class doesn't make

sense is it's literally not the average

of these

scores and here's what the uh the

alcoholic Professor told me yes he was

literally an

alcoholic he said well I lost your

test I said what yeah he said I the the

big one that you got you say you got the

good grade on I don't have it I lost it

you mean I didn't turn it in no you

turned it in I lost

it and so I said how did you give me a

grade when my biggest most important

test was not in the mix and he said I

synthesized it from the other grades

that I did have he averaged my poor

grades together and gave me a grade

because he lost the most important score

that I had nailed

completely that's that is synthesized

data right there ladies and

gentlemen that's what synthesized data

is you took it from different sources

and you talked yourself into it being

accurate because you hoped nobody would

ask you a detailed question and I asked

them a detailed question and the whole

thing fell apart because it was

synthesized my entire life you know

depends on these grades and stuff he's

just synthesizing

them so um I would say that Google does

not support the uh temperature data as

being accurate they only support it as

being of a known quality from sources

that are

acceptable if the if the Internet won't

tell you the data is accurate and Google

won't tell you it's accurate do you

really think it's accurate do you really

think that Google the probably the you

know one of the most you know Valiant

supporters of all climate change

alarm you think they wouldn't tell you

it was accurate if they knew it was

accurate they can't do it

I'll be damned well mean meanwhile

Arizona passed the law to ban almost all

abortions except the the life or the

health of the mother even Trump

disagrees he says they think that'll get

walked back a little bit probably uh he

says it'll definitely change so he

thinks that they'll add a few more

exceptions or maybe add a little timing

thing so we don't know now this this led

people to say to me Scott why you say

that Trump is playing this perfectly by

saying it's a state's issue and there's

some kind of Middle Ground that makes

sense for the country and the question I

was asked is can you name one

independent who changed their vote to

Trump because he found this middle

ground state thing is that the right

question Scott can you name me even one

independent who would would not GNA was

not going to vote for Trump but now is

just because he had this sort of Middle

Ground non

non-committal

thing that's the wrong

question the the question is energy

remember Trump is an energy monster he's

not about the fact check he's about the

energy and what he did was he tried to

take the energy out of the abortion

question because every time you bring it

up he's not going to say something that

causes a fight he's going to say well

uh thanks to me you get to work that out

with your state so you're in much better

shape to get a law that your state likes

by majority than if the federal

government did it so I actually made it

easier for you to get what you want in

your state now if your state doesn't

want what you want well that would be

sort of between you and your state and

at least that's easier to fight with the

state than it is with the federal

government so you know we we've moved it

into the place in other

words Trump moved it from a

life and death kill the baby or don't

kill the baby which is enormous energy

right people will get off the

couch for abortion if you let it become

the emotional thing you know you're

controlling women's body or you're

killing a baby they'll definitely get

off the couch for that do you know what

they won't get off the couch

for well let me explain how fisa Works

uh fisa you've got the you're against

the advancing of the procedural thing to

debate the reauthorization of the

warrant that doesn't get anybody off the

couch because bureaucracy is not

exciting so Trump basically said let's

bury this in the bureaucracy where it

belongs because it does belong there and

and that takes the energy out of it it

takes the fun out of it it keeps you on

your couch so all Trump needs to do to

win is to make sure abortion is not the

um the lighthouse topic you know if

abortion is the lighthouse then then all

the moths are going to be like yes walk

toward the lighthouse we'll vote against

Trump monster but if the lighthouse

isn't lit and it's just a bunch of other

topics like well you know there's the

inflation and you got the border and you

know stuff I think Trump wins so I think

Trump wins so think think of the

abortion question and Trump's opinion on

it as an energy play not a play to get

some specific voter to change their mind

you want some people to be less

interested in voting that's it your your

opponents all right uh there's a new

poll from

ipsos it says uh Biden has a clear uh he

that he's got 41% approval or actually

people would vote for him compared to

Trump at 37

so the polling from uh one of the more

credible they

say uh outfits is that Biden has leap

leapt ahead and now he's

winning based

on what

changed what exactly changed Trump

softened on abortion I don't think that

changed it what

changed well so I looked at the five 38

rankings of of uh posters and they're

17th which doesn't sound good uh in

reliability there's 17th in reliability

but it's actually out of like a

hundred if you're in the top 17 out of

you know a 100 or so that would be

toward the

top do we trust ipsos I don't think so I

I don't think I live in a country where

I can just automatically trust polls um

I think that the polls are going to have

to sport any cheating so if there's any

planned manipulation of the election and

I don't have any information that they

would but if they did they would have to

uh they would have to rig some of the

polls

first how hard is it to rig a poll if

you're the CIA or the

FBI you walk into a polling company and

you say you know we know a lot about you

should be a shame if the news heard

about

it sure would be good for us if Biden

had some good poll results do you think

that happens in the real world I don't

know probably it probably happens in the

real world yeah somebody needs access

somebody needs a

favor yeah I don't I don't believe that

polling um is necessarily A non-corrupt

entity so I don't believe it

automatically

speaking of polls that we don't believe

automatically um axios is reporting that

42% of Latino adults surveyed said they

support building a wall or a fence on

the border that's 12 points up from

December

2021 and 38% uh support sending all

undocumented immigrants back to their

country so 38% of Latinos want to send

all undocumented immigrants back home

now that's up from 28% in 2021 so

there's been a big surge obviously the

open border is a big part of

that um and 64% of Latinos say they

support giving the president the

authority to shut the border no the the

president has the authority to shut the

border stop acting like the president

can't shut a

border I mean does anybody believe the

president can't shut a

border like I don't have to even look at

the law to know that that's

stupid you know I'll say it again

commanderin-chief

immediate danger to the country he can

do anything he wants

commander-in-chief immediate danger to

the country he can do anything he wants

not legally not legally but he can do

anything he wants and then work it out

later so first you close it and then you

see if it was legal that is the correct

order under an immediate

threat well there's a report that the

IDF is using

AI to identify Targets in Gaza and the

there's some kind of presentation that

somebody got a hold of I saw this in the

uh Mario Na's

post and it showed somebody explaining

how if they know a few people who are uh

targets they can use their what they

call their magic dust uh programs

basically to figure out who else they're

associated with and whether those people

they're associated with are also

legitimate targets

so presumably it's looking at you know

databases of people's activities and

maybe demographics and profiling and who

knows what else but uh they do

apparently it helps them Target people

now um the way the story is being

reported in Mario's fed is that the IDF

said it was not using AI to identify

targets but then the claim here is that

here's a PowerPoint presentation in

which the IDF is explaining they're

totally using AI to identify

targets and it's an AI tool called

lavender well here's my take on that I

don't know that AI means AI

anymore I think there was a time when we

said AI was you know any complicated

program that could do some things but

now ai is this sort of self- deciding

llm model I don't think that they're

using the L llm model for this I don't

think they're

using why is why are people saying OJ is

dead is OJ

dead my feed is full of people saying OJ

is dead

Is that

real can you check

that yeah people are saying OJ Simpson's

dead

wow well that's

a of

cancer I'll be

darn I'll be darn OJ is

dead

huh

he was 76 OJ was

76 I had no

idea prostate

cancer well I'll be

darn huh all right well so let me just

finish up this point um it might be true

that IDF is not using AI as they Define

it uh but it probably is true that

they're using a program that's more you

know less Ai and more just

straightforward

checking against other

sources so it might be both true and

false at the same time depending on how

you how you uh how you define

it all right ladies and

gentlemen

um yeah I I think the OJ death may be

related to blocking

Erica because Erica reported he he

blocked her and I I think Karma got him

honestly I think if it wasn't the

murders it was the blocking of

Erica somebody say OJ died from eating

too many

Lunchables

no I think you would have to eat dozens

of them before it would kill

you all right

um all right well I don't want to talk

about OJ

anymore all right ladies and gentlemen

this brings me to the conclusion of my

amazing

show I'm going to uh say goodbye to the

folks uh who are not on

locals and uh talk to them privately for

a little

bit and uh let me put my uh summary on

this

show so the states are a

mess the state department is

racist the federal agencies are full of

liars climate change looks like

at least the measurement of it don't

know about the actuality of it but the

measurement of it looks like kind of

and uh can't trust the

FDA can't trust

anybody that's where we are we're in a

we're in a zero trust environment but we

might figure a way out

now

[Music]

um makes you wonder if there's a

deathbed confession doesn't it do you

think OJ did a deathbed confession to

anybody who will tell you after the

funeral okay I got to admit it he told

me all right that's all for today thanks

for joining everybody uh locals stay

with me I'm going to go private just for

locals see you tomorrow same place same

time
