View segment →Oh my goodness, my goodness. Come on in here everybody, we got a show to do. I was just looking at something I couldn't believe, couldn't believe it. I promise not to fall asleep on the livestream like I did in the man cave twice. All right, let me find my show on Locals here so I can get right with you. I will make this work. There we go. I think it's all working today folks, it's all working today.
All right, good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and there's never been a better time in your life. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny human smooth brains, all you need is a cup or mug or glass or tankard or gigantic cylindrical flask. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
Good stuff.
Just a warning to you. If you've been trying to buy my newish book "God's Debris," this is now the complete works. So it's two books plus a short story. And you tried to get it from Amazon and you tried to get the hardcover. Sometimes it tells you it's available in January, sometimes December, sometimes October, sometimes July. Now you might say to yourself that's weird. It seems like it would only be one of those things if it's all through Amazon and it's all the hardcover. Well there is some kind of glitch going on that I don't quite understand but it's happened with all three books that I've released independently. And it's not necessarily Amazon's problem by the way because we use a third-party entity for the hard copy. So it's probably something about the interface between the two. But a number of people said they had to cancel their order and reorder to get it to arrive in a timely fashion. So I recommend that 100% of you who have ordered the book, if it doesn't say July, cancel it. You should cancel it because I don't know what's going on but the people who canceled it and reordered it said it worked. So cancel it. That is my recommendation to you.
And by the way it is impossible to become a bestseller if when you launch your book it's not actually for sale. So it does feel like it does feel personal but I understand that this process is a little buggy. So other people have had similar problems but I'm three for three.
All right. If you're following Dilbert, which you can only see if you subscribe to it on X, see my profile or the Locals platform, you would know that Ratbert is now a writer at the newspaper called the Washington Poop, which is having terrible problems lately. The Washington Poop is. But Ratbert will be paired up with one of their other writers, a writer named Phil Thumb who is represented as a thumb. But I hasten to tell you that none of this is based on any real people. The Washington Poop is not based on anything real, totally made up, and there are no employees, no writers anyway who work for the Washington Post that some people think I'm making fun of. But they don't have any writers that look like thumbs. I mean not exactly like thumbs. And by that I mean it might remind you of a thumb but in many important details different. So just keep that straight.
Anyway as a special thing, I don't have confirmation yet but I think today after the show but not immediately after, at 2 p.m. Eastern time, 11 a.m. my local which is California, I'm hoping to talk to Michael Ian Black, a comedian, podcaster, actor, author, as many many successful careers. And he would represent say a different political view from mine. And he asked a fascinating question when he saw me post that all the news is fake. He said if all the news is fake how do you know what's true? That's actually a great question and I think he was quite serious about it. Like what are you talking about? And so I thought it would be fascinating to not debate politics. I don't want to have a debate about who's the best president and we both agree on that by the way. We want to talk about how do you know what's true. And I think potentially it would be the coolest conversation that anybody's ever had on politics. We don't know. I mean it's going to be live so anything could happen. I don't have a confirmation yet but I think we're pretty well set to do that.
Anyway there's news from Oakland that the Hilton Hotel that's been in Oakland for 56 years decided to close. Now that causes sort of a problem for me because you know I live in the Bay Area and one of the things my friends are always asking, they're saying when I go from my vacation in Oakland what's the best place to stay? And I would always say well you want to go to the Hilton, it's the best hotel in Oakland. But now when my friends want a vacation in Oakland I don't know what to say. Can't go to the McDonald's, they closed that. So I don't know. I think you can sleep on the street but it should be safe. It should be safe. There are a lot of people living in the streets in Oakland and I think they're all safe so you'll be safe. Just sleep in the street. Weather's great.
Well there was a Korean air flight that had a scare, dropped 27,000 feet in 15 minutes, injured 17 people. Let's see what kind of airplane type is that. It's a Boeing 737 Max 8. Now I have a suggestion. I'm not like an engineer or anything so I can't really help Boeing in their engineering and their safety but I do know a little bit about marketing. And here's what I'd do because they got a bad reputation. They should make their airplanes entirely out of rubber. That way if an airplane ever goes down it will remind you of the company. Boing. That's called marketing people. I can't help you with the engineering but that would be great marketing. Well another plane went down and made this sound: boing. All right that's all I had on that.
There's some legislation that looks like it's going to Joe Biden's desk. So it got through the Congress that will substantially improve how easy it is to make a nuclear power plant in America. As you all know we have screwed ourselves for generations by having burdensome regulations to get approval. But this aims to cut through a bunch of that stuff. This is maybe one of the biggest deals in the world. You know there'll be one every time when nuclear becomes the thing or not becomes a thing but is required beyond any doubt. So we've reached the point where it is no longer a left versus a right problem. It's an engineering problem. It's an economic problem. It's a little bit of a public relations problem. But it doesn't seem to be so much a government problem now and maybe that will make a big difference. We'll see. You know if I had to bet, my bet would be that nuclear will be like other things where it's slow slow slow until it isn't. So kind of what I expect is 10 years of nothing, you know a lot of planning and talking and engineering followed by 20 years of oh my god look how quickly they're building these smaller nuclear plants.
Bill Gates also said recently nuclear is the only way to get where we need to go whether it's fission or fusion but it's the only way. I think we all agree.
All right here's what I think would be how I would create a new city. Here's what I'd do. I'd find a big bunch of land that's owned by the government, the federal government, and I'd wait for Trump to be president and then I'd say hey I've identified this big chunk of land that the government doesn't seem to be using, doesn't look like they'll ever use it but it'd be a great place to build a new city. Now remember this is Trump's idea to build cities from scratch using federal land so you can really do it right. Here's how I would start. I would start by saying we're going to build a nuclear power plant or two, meaning that they're modular. So basically it's one power plant but it might have more than one reactor later. So you get a mini reactor that is sufficient to do all of the power for the city you plan to build. And then you say that everybody who lives in the city gets a part of the profits of that. So if there's extra the town benefits by selling their extra capacity and indeed they might actually put a second power plant there if they had connection to the grid of course and then they would sell the excess capacity.
So what you would do is start with a city where the people living there had already bought into the idea that they would be in the general area of a nuclear power plant but in return their electricity would be almost free. And it would be a business. In other words everybody who lived there would be basically a shareholder in the electric production. Now why should they be shareholders? They absolutely should be because they're taking any risk of being near one. If you're going to tell me to live within two miles of a nuclear power plant no matter how safe it is, and by the way it's really safe now, I'm still going to be thinking about it. So if you want me to move there maybe I need a piece of the action and I think that could be arranged.
I also think that the new city should be its own insurance company for every element of insurance. Maybe not medical but all the physical stuff, you know your car insurance, your house insurance, your business insurance. It should all be done by the city that you live in and it should be a co-op so that if you make extra money it goes back into the city. So the things that the city should do for itself are electricity, making a profit. It should put in its own Wi-Fi so that nobody's really paying for Wi-Fi, it's just a city-provided service. You should build the city so the transportation is practically free which could be electric cabs that you use but you could walk everywhere. There's good mass transit but you could pretty well start from scratch and develop a city that would be almost free. You've seen the little Tesla houses that have a Tesla battery pack but also a Tesla roof. There's zero energy. You can do it that way as well. You could build it so that every house is self-sufficient independently. So the future of building new cities is really really good because we have all the good stuff now. The only reason we don't implement all the good stuff that we know how to do is it's hard to do it in an existing city. You have to start from scratch. So new cities, it's the future.
All right there's a new study says you probably have a lot of microplastics in your penis. Now that would be if you're a man and you have a penis or you're a woman with a penis. So either the men or the women with penises they might have a lot of microplastics in it. And the researchers are saying that might lead to erectile dysfunction. They don't know but they think the more plastic in your penis the softer it will be. Now again I'm no medical expert but I feel like the more plastic in my penis the harder it would be. I mean I'm just going to keep drinking microplastics until I've got a four-hour erection that lasts 24 hours. You know what I mean? This whole business of losing erection and having to get it back again, well that seems like a lot of work. Why don't you just go plastic, stay plastic?
All right don't listen to anything I say about health except this. There's another study that says loneliness can increase the risk of stroke by up to 56%. Well that's something that every guy who likes porn already knows. Am I right? Am I right? If you're a lonely guy the risk of stroking is 56% higher than if you're married. Yeah yeah. Okay that's all I have to say about that.
Scientists have discovered the worst thing that scientists could ever have discovered. A gene that causes some people to gain more weight from exactly the same food as other people that don't gain weight from it. Oh we are so dead. That's all we needed was an excuse for being overweight. Yeah I can't think of a worse thing that science could have done to us than telling us you know some of you have a magic gene that would be very difficult for you to know for sure if you had it because you're probably not going to go test for it. But from now on every time you've got a few extra pounds you can say I wish I had the genes you have but I've got this damn obesity gene that just can gain weight from the same amount of food you're eating. So and it's up to a 5 or 10 pound difference they say just having this gene or not.
Now I don't know if that gene is what makes you gain the weight. My hypothesis and you know I'm always 30 years ahead of medical science so they'll catch up eventually is that some people like eating more than other people. Now I've told you this observation before and I've noticed it when I had lots of kids with their friends in the house and if I got a pizza and said hey there's pizza everybody and people are, let's say kids are doing the sleepover or something, they're just all doing their own things and running around, they would arrive for the pizza in the same order as their weight. The heaviest people would be right there and the people who were maybe even underweight just wouldn't even eat one or they'd get it later much later but they wouldn't care. They wouldn't have any hunger at all.
Now I don't know if the hunger is caused by not eating a lot of sugar because you know carbs and sugar can make you hungrier. So it could be that not eating makes you want to not eat. That could be it. But it seemed to me that people had wildly different preferences for eating and that's got to explain almost everything. Because you know as much as I like to say I do all the things you know I eat right and exercise and stuff like that, really it's because I don't like eating that much. If I liked eating as much as some people apparently like eating, you know the foodies and the people who are just having an orgasm with every sip of wine, I don't have that at all. I never have that. You know I mean there's some things that taste better than others but I'm not really driven by an addiction to food. If I were I'd be fatter. So I don't believe in free will. That's what I'm saying.
I saw some more Instagram personal relationship advice. As I've told you all relationship advice that you will see on social media has the following quality. You have to do these things. Also those things couldn't possibly work. So in other words nobody really has any idea how to make a relationship work. Literally there is nobody period who has any advice on relationships that even on paper could work. You just look at it and you go well like do you not understand how people work? That couldn't work in the real world. Let me give you an example. There was a little clip of a young woman who was explaining that she had figured out what men want and it's so easy. She says all men want is basically food, sex, respect and peace. Men would you agree with that? The men who were also in that clip were shaking their heads. Oh yeah she got it. That's all we need. We want some food, sex, respect and peace and we're perfectly happy. So I guess we've unlocked the secret to relationships. So there it is. Women have finally figured out men and once the word gets around then women will start treating men with respect, give them peace, food and sex on demand.
Do you see any problem with that worldview? Have you ever met a woman? Have any of you ever met a woman? Because I feel like a lot of this advice comes from people who couldn't have possibly ever met a woman. You know that if a woman gave you all of these things she would hate your guts. It doesn't go any other way. You might get those things but she would hate you. You get that right? So if a woman feels like she's just doing this for a man she's going to think I'm doing a lot of work for this man and there's this guy at work who doesn't seem to be so demanding. He's so handsome and he's always flirting with me. None of this works. I'm pretty sure nobody's figured it out but the experts on Instagram are continuously hilarious. If simply knowing what you should do worked I think more people would be doing it but women don't want to do these things. That's why it doesn't happen. It's not because they don't understand it. Do you think the problem was knowledge? Have you ever met a woman? Oh it's not knowing. It has nothing to do with knowing what the man wants. They always know what we want. They always know what we want. They just choose not to give it for a variety of different reasons I can't explain.
NASA canceled a space walk because one of the spacesuits was leaking water. Well I'm no astronaut but I can tell you if I ever put on a spacesuit in space and I was about to go outside my capsule I'm pretty sure my spacesuit would be leaking water too if you know what I mean. Yeah that's all I had for that.
So Congress is contemplating for the first time ever separating alcohol from their food diet recommendations. Well if you can't trust the government with your food recommendations who can you trust? Speaking of which Jordan Peterson recently said on an interview I have never recovered from finding out that the food pyramid is a scam. Is there a worse medical crime in history? I agree with that. The food pyramid lies that we were all told might be the biggest crime in American history. You know you could say COVID is up there now. You could say all of our bad things happening in our politics up there but I don't know that anything had more direct impact than lying about what food is healthy. That's about as bad as anybody's ever been in the history of humankind. So I agree with Jordan Peterson and it definitely I could say that that one thing changed me forever. Now so when Jordan said I've never recovered from it, oh I feel that. I have never recovered from the fact that the government lied to me that much. I mean that's a big one. We're going to lie to you to tell you to do something that will kill you slowly and we know it. I mean I assume some of them knew it.
But apparently the discussion is that it used to be that people thought well a couple drinks a week isn't going to hurt you but now they're thinking maybe a couple of drinks per week might hurt you or at least you're not going to be worse off if you don't have them. I was listening to Andrew Huberman asked the same question. Are you really going to have to go to zero drinking? And he didn't want to be the moralist who told you what you should or should not do with your life so he was clear that he wasn't recommending but he didn't think that two drinks a week was going to kill you but you'd probably not be any healthier because of it. Which is a good way to say it. I think he chose his words carefully there. There's no evidence that moderate drinking makes you healthier. Remember they used to say it did. So that's a big step because people believe Huberman and he's saying as clearly as possible no, drinking a little bit isn't going to make you healthier even if they used to tell you that all the time. It's like the food pyramid. It was an obvious lie that's gone on for decades. It was just obviously a lie. I've been telling you forever it was obviously a lie. Now I doubt that. So the smart thing that they've done is they've treated alcohol like it's not food. What are they treating it like? Poison. What did Andrew Huberman in his new video on this, what did he frame alcohol as? Poison. He actually said alcohol is a form of poison. There you go. Alcohol is poison.
So I guess the Supreme Court is delaying into July some of its big decisions. Cowards. You cowards. I don't know why they're delaying it. Maybe it's just more work than usual but some of the big stuff we'll still have to wait for.
Meanwhile the big story today is Julian Assange is free. You can understand why the CIA wanted to kill him and Mike Pence still thinks he should be in jail. And I think there's this report that Hillary wanted to end him. He once said in public the goal is to have endless wars not a successful war. Sort of famous for saying that. So he's he did a plea deal I guess. He's got some health issues that may have played into his willingness to do a plea deal but he'll end up back in Australia and he'll be free in Australia after the plea deal is completed.
Now this raises many questions. Number one did he give out any secret information in return for this leniency? Is that what happened? Is there more to this deal than the public knows? For example maybe they just needed, maybe the bad guys just needed to know who his source was. Maybe he gave it up. Maybe the source died and so he felt he could give it up. So we don't know what's happening right. I doubt he would just give up a source because he went to jail for a long time to not do stuff like that. So I'm going to go with probably Assange did not make a deal that you wouldn't be happy with. Probably not. Don't know for sure.
But the other idea is that the only reason it's happening now is to take it off the table before the election because Trump was definitely going to pardon him or whatever the term is and that would have given the libertarians a strong reason to vote for Trump if they had been on the fence. So this takes away that strong reason. They still have Ross Ulbricht and they may feel the same about him. So if he gets pardoned before the election then it's just political. Yeah that would be a little bit on the nose.
The other thing I worry about is that it's really a plan to kill him because once he's a free-range chicken it's going to be a lot easier to get to him and arrange an accident. So I'm super concerned that an accident will happen to him in the next 18 months. That seems kind of dangerous. But he's already flown out. I think they put him on a Boeing flight. Oh God no. I'm just making that up. It wasn't a Boeing but it would be funny if it were. And I guess he had to spend half a million dollars just for the private flight because there was some reason he couldn't take a commercial flight. I don't know. Had to go to some weird island for reasons that are too boring to talk about.
Anyway so on the lawfare of Trump you've got Judge Cannon and so she's doing a bunch of rulings and the Democrats are mad because she's taking too long and she seems to be very deliberate and she's ruling both for and against the Trump defense. So I think the Democrats just they're just not happy when things are going the way they're supposed to go. They just want Trump punished and they don't care anything about the law I think is the bottom line. But anyway I don't care about the details of that.
If you were to ask your Amazon digital device whose name I won't say because it will trigger all your devices at home, if you ask it who is the most powerful doctor in the world it says Bill Gates. That's right it says Bill Gates is the most powerful doctor in the world or influential. Now the interesting thing about that is I assume that's an AI-driven response. Is it wrong? Now Bill Gates does not have a medical license but does he do more medical stuff than any other medical person? And I think the answer is yes. And I think he personally has to say let's do this or it doesn't get done because you know it's his money. So this is not a wrong answer. He doesn't have a doctor's license to practice but he is in fact the most consequential doctor in the United States if not the world because he has so much influence on vaccinations and malaria and by the way there's a lot of stuff that you would agree with. Eradicating malaria and stuff like that you probably wouldn't have a problem with that. So good and bad. This is actually true that this you know it was sort of reported as that's a crazy answer. It's not. It's actually the exact right answer in my opinion. I think the AI nailed it this time. So that's fun to watch when the AI gets it right when you don't expect them to.
So I was watching another Trump campaign video and I keep telling you this but the skill that the Trump campaign has this time is way higher than what we've seen before. I won't show it to you because you can imagine it but it's got all this strong imagery. You know Trump looking like a boss. He likes to show his plane taking off and landing because that's like a strong exciting thing watching the plane. It shows him attending the UFC and getting a big hand. That's a strong thing. You know bunch of men who fight cheering for him that shows strength. And then of course you know there's the soaring prose about but this time they were playing hip-hop music. So the music on top of the video was hip-hop. Is that the first time? Because it seems to me that Trump had a bad habit of playing the whitest music in the world at his rallies and also on his campaign stuff. But if he's moved to a hip-hop vibe, smart because the music is good. You know it's got a great feel to it. Wasn't anything I was familiar with but when you hear it you go oh that fits that commercial. It's a strong beat and everything. So yes everything that the Trump campaign is doing it's so on point it's so on point that you don't think about it. If you look at any Joe Biden campaign ad you no matter what your politics are if you were just being objective about it they all look like they were done by high school projects. Honestly like literally they look like they were done by high school projects. But the Trump stuff looks like the best things you've ever seen in that domain. I can't keep ignoring that. I mean it's a big big difference in just talent in the campaign anyway.
Byron York was reporting on how Trump describes how the debate happened in the first place. Now this is similar to what I thought so Trump's on the same page. I'll summarize it which is that once Trump said that he would debate Biden anywhere and in any way then Biden sprung the trap of creating the situation that Trump would least like to debate him which is CNN hosts who've been calling him Hitler forever sitting down no audience microphones turned off. Basically everything he agreed to are all the things that are good for Biden and bad for him. Now he thinks that maybe the trick was to get him to reject the debate and I agree with that. I think they were trying to create a situation in which he would say I'm not going to debate because that would have been really bad. Bad mistake. I've seen some social media opinions say he shouldn't debate because it's too biased against him. I disagree with that completely. I disagree completely and it's because of the Andre Agassi tennis strategy I keep explaining. He needs to go destroy their strongest fort not their weak ones. Nobody's going to be impressed if he tears apart some weak pundit on a weak platform. He needs to go into the belly of the beast and then he just needs to own it. So the fact that it's the worst setup that could possibly be for him is the best setup for him because if he can't accomplish this, go into an unfriendly territory and conquer it, maybe he's not the president you need honestly. If he can't go into this situation and dominate it and you know he can but if he doesn't well we're going to have some questions aren't we? We'd have some real questions. You know did something change? Why are you not performing the way we expected you to? So I think that Trump going into the worst situation for Trump is the best situation for Trump because I'm very confident that he'll do well.
And we've seen him talk about his advisers who are saying you know whether he should go hard at Biden or whether he should maybe try to be a normal person. So you know that he's had lots of time to think about the approach. I think he's already signaling that he's going to play it cool and just let Biden talk. He didn't say it and anything could happen but he seems to be signaling that he is at least agreeable that that's not a dumb idea. You know he's very much considering the play as here's what I think. I think that Biden's entire attack is going to be this Trump guy is crazy and chaotic. All Trump has to do is not be crazy and chaotic. That's it. It looks stupid when Biden's accusing him of chaos when Trump is just calmly explaining how he's the one who brought you border security and a good economy and that the real chaos is the inflation and the open border and two wars. Now he can say that just calmly and just completely dismantle Biden. But here's the risk. It's never super safe to tell Trump to not act like Trump because we don't know how much practice he has acting like somebody else. He's got a lifetime of acting like himself. He knows how to do that. But is he going to play a different character just because it would help him win? He can but who knows.
All right did you know that one of the co-hosts, so Jake Tapper will be hosting the debate with Dana Bash his co-worker. Did you know that Dana Bash according to the Amuse account which you should all be following. Amuse on the X platform, great stuff by the way that I don't see in other places. So Amuse has some game. That Dana Bash's ex-husband is one of the 51 people who signed the letter that said the laptop was Russian disinformation. So yeah when we talk about the host being biased you got Jake Tapper who's been calling Trump basically some form of Hitler forever and you got Bash's ex-husband signed the laptop letter. Now of course it's an ex-husband and it's a different person right. It's not Dana Bash it's her ex-husband but it seems unlikely that they're on super different pages on this question. And I'd love to know if Dana Bash reported the laptop as Russian disinformation. I'm guessing yes without looking into it.
All right so as you know Snopes I guess in June they made the change but we just noticed it recently that they made the change to say that the fine people hoax was indeed a hoax and that the president never called the racists fine people and in fact he said directly the opposite. Now as you know that was the centerpiece of Biden's entire campaign and he's still saying it. So you might say to yourself my God this is the biggest story in the whole country. I mean what is bigger than that? The entire country is torn apart by Charlottesville and then the boosting of it as a message that the president had called actual racists marching racists fine people. Now of course it didn't happen but so you may have noticed that it was trending on X and it was basically in every news outlet and every pundit and every independent person mentioned it in a big way. You all notice that right? Every person you follow on X if you're on X everyone talked about it. Do you know what's missing? Every group that you don't follow didn't talk about it. In other words if you're Republican leaning and you're following a bunch of Republican news sites and commenters they all talked about it 100%. Everyone from Fox News to Breitbart to your independents, Collin Rugg, everybody basically everybody. Now have you heard a Ground News, it's a group who likes to show you where there are blind spots in the news. So Ground News you can see them. It's an app and it's also a website. Showed me and then I posted it that there was nearly 100% coverage of the conservative news landscape and zero on the left-leaning news. Zero. Actually zero. None. Not a single one.
Now if you were doing a little dance and saying finally we broke the hoax, no we didn't. No we did not. No there were no hoaxes that were debunked. The people who knew it was a hoax got more information for what they already knew. Snopes confirmed it but there's not a single person on the left who is aware that it's a hoax and they have no way to find out because they're sure as hell not going to turn on Fox News and if they do they're sure as hell not going to believe anything they say. So amazingly the biggest story in the country by far, this is way bigger than Assange, it's bigger than inflation, it's bigger than everything that the current president ran on a known hoax and divided the country to do it and is still claiming the hoax to be true and the entire corporate media except the right-leaning media is backing him still. Still. That's the biggest story in the country. It's completely invisible to half the country.
So in my opinion we are not a republic and we're not a democracy but we're not a dictatorship per se. We're a hoax-ocracy. Our entire system is hoaxes are floated by the Democrats, their media puppets repeat the hoaxes and that becomes our reality and then the politicians sort of have to follow the hoax and the voters end up following the hoax when they vote. So we don't have a republic we have a hoax-ocracy and that's not an exaggeration. This is the important point. I mean literally the fundamental operating system of the United States is hoaxes. We just have to deal with that. I think we need to just wake up. Our system is one hoax after another that informs all of our actions. So the things we teach our kids, the way we vote, the way the schools are organized, the way we write our history, it's all fake. I don't know how long that's been the case. Probably all of my life. But once you realize that you're living within a hoax it's not a republic, it's not a democracy, it's not even close. We're not even in the same planetary orbit as any of those things. We are purely a hoax-based system and maybe always have been. I don't know how long it's been but clearly at this point we're just a hoax.
Speaking of which George Soros has already spent $400 million trying to buy the second biggest radio network. So he's working the FCC which has a lot of Democrats in it and trying to get approval for it. Now why in the world would we be okay with George Soros owning the second biggest radio network? Clearly he's buying protection for the hoax-ocracy. What else could it be? He wants to make sure that there's nobody who can tell you the truth. That's the whole point. Do you think that George Soros decided that radio was a good investment? Of course not. Are you kidding me? No radio is not an investment. No you do it for control so people don't find out what you're really up to. There's no other reason. Why do you think Bezos owns the Washington Post? Because he really likes the dying newspaper industry? No. Now in his case he might have some pressure from some intelligence sources but clearly none of this is about news. It is about maintaining hoaxes.
All right the network that Soros is trying to buy reaches 165 million monthly listeners. 165 million. Yeah you know if it weren't for Rupert Murdoch who as you know is not from this country there wouldn't be any competing news. Imagine if Fox News didn't exist and by the way it's not my job to say they get everything right because they don't they don't get everything right. But if you didn't have the competing version you would really really be confused about the world you live in. Imagine if all the news was just the hoax-y stuff. That's the way it was before Fox News. It was only the hoaxes.
All right let me give you another example of that. Now we have 16 Nobel economists that have gone public with some kind of letter saying that Trump is a real risk to inflation and that a Trump presidency would be an inflation bomb. Let's see they're economists that sounds good. They're Nobel prizewinning economists. Oh my God that sounds credible. And oh there's 16 of them. Oh my God there's 16 of them. I mean they can't be wrong could they? Could they be wrong? I mean there's 16 of them and they're the very best. These are the Nobel economists for God's sakes. Unfortunately you should see this more like the 51 intel people who signed the laptop. No it's not their real opinion and if it is it's from cognitive dissonance. No you shouldn't listen to them as experts. No they don't have a good argument. Yes if you have even a little bit of understanding economics you know this is complete as everyone does who took one economics course. And if you need some more explaining of why the Nobel economists do not have let's say a lock on what's true let me just ask you this question. Why do we have inflation if all these economists know how to avoid it and they seem to be willing to advise us and they're all on the same page? Where were they before? Were these same economists telling us that hey the things you're doing right now are going to cause massive inflation? Did they? Because if they did well I might actually listen to them. Wow they got it right that time. Maybe they get it right again. But we live in a world where I guarantee you, remember I have a degree in economics and I can tell you for sure there are no economists who understand inflation. Now that sounds like a big claim because it seems obvious print more money you got inflation. If it were that easy everybody would have the same prediction. If you just sort of look at it go huh well I've sort of skimmed this topic and looks to me like Trump's going to drive that inflation through the roof.
Now what would be the argument for why Trump would cause more inflation? What do you think the argument sounds like? Well here we go. One of the reasons that the Trump presidency could take inflation to new heights because a January 6 style attack on Democratic institutions could undermine global economic stability. I think that was an Axios. So let's see if you can follow this. So the January 6 hoax was that Trump was trying to overthrow the country but all of you know that was a hoax. So the reason that Trump would cause inflation is that the people who made up this hoax say that he might do more of the things that he's never done and then people would think there's chaos and then that would through a process called magic would cause your prices to go up. There's your 16 Nobel economists right there. No it's complete it's absolute complete. 51 people say the laptop is Russian disinformation. Russia collusion, fine people hoax, drinking bleach and it's organized again.
Have you seen the pattern that when Republicans are wrong about something it's because they were just wrong. Now they're wrong about a lot in my opinion but it's always just comes from some source that wasn't good enough and you know they bought into it and it got boosted and it fits some narrative so they wanted to believe it. So Republicans are like free-range truth believers. You know they're all over the place. But every time you see one of these big lies coming from Democrats they're organized. Somebody got 16 Nobel economists to say something that's kind of obviously stupid. Somebody got 51 intel people to sign a thing that they clearly didn't believe was true unless they're that dumb but I don't think so. The Russia collusion hoax, gigantic multi-entity hoax that involves all kinds of groups and entities organized. The fine people hoax organized. It's organized because the media is obviously just backing up their masters. It's all organized. Do you think the fact that there are no left-leaning entities covering it is completely an accident? I doubt it.
Even Carville was talking about how he wants Biden to say some things that give all the Democrats their marching orders so they know what to say and do. It's very well understood that the direction is some bull is created at the top and then everybody has to lie about the same and that's their model. Now how does it work on the other side? Let me explain how it works on the other side. I already told you a story exactly how it works. Trump went into an interview this is a story I just told you and he said some people are saying I should calm down when I do the debate. Some people are saying I should do this. When he's choosing the vice president he talks about some people are saying I should pick this person some people think I'll pick this person. Trump is receiving wisdom from the audience not always right you know maybe the audience gets it wrong but Trump is a receptacle of what is true and sometimes what isn't but it's coming from the bottom up and he is just focusing that energy and then he converts it into government. He is a true populist. He literally cares deeply based on action. I'm not reading his mind. His actions suggest he cares a lot about what the base wants and then he tries to give it to them. That is not happening on the left. On the left there's some kind of weird brainwashing gaslighting hoax that's being hatched every minute in every category and then the sheep are told what to say and do. Very different. And what do the Democrats describe this system as? Trump is stealing your democracy. That's what they describe that as and obviously it's projection.
All right so LA is having a problem with homeless camps. You know the homeless are creating a lot of camps on the sidewalk but thank God I saw a report by End Wokeness which is one word. It's the account on X you should really follow that one too. So two accounts they should just absolutely take my word for it just don't fight it. If you're on X just do this please just follow these guys. It's one is End Wokeness one word and the other is Amuse spelled the way you think. Just follow them. It's like what you would see if the news were real. That's what it is. It's the stuff you'd see if the news were real. It's really good stuff anyway. So End Wokeness reports that finally LA is doing something about all the homeless camps. Checking out the details what they're doing about all the homeless camps. Oh okay they're removing the barriers that businesses put up that were trying to end the homeless camps. Okay so this is the wrong direction. They're trying to figure out how to stop businesses from making it difficult to camp in front of their store. That's really happening. Do you think this story will be in the left-leaning press a lot? I don't know it probably wasn't. It probably was in the left-leaning press as a good thing.
All right well the press speaking of the press says that Trump's VP picks are down to three: Burgum, Vance and Rubio. Then this morning there was a Vivek rumor but I don't think there was substance to it. I'm not so sure that it's narrowed down to these three: Burgum, Vance and Rubio. Not so sure. If it were these three I would say Burgum is boring. Vance might be too useful in Congress and by the way he's the whitest looking person in the history of the United States and I do worry that that will just cause the other people to have one more reason to get worked up. Now there's no like I like his views so he's very strong in communication. His communication skills are through the roof. He looks great you know he's handsome he's young he's aggressive he's got balls. It's like everything you want but he's also great in where he is. So some of the calculation is who do you want to move out of a place that they're already great. Rubio some people say you might be a little too connected to I don't know the deep state or something. So people yeah Rubio is too swampy people are saying in the comments right now.
So here's what I think. It's not any of those three. So I'm going to let me say two things first. I have famously written and I'm republishing "Win Big" in the next month or so it's a little updated. So I famously said that nobody can guess the vice president and that that's the worst thing that I can guess. So the vice president pick is totally based on things that are happening behind the curtain that you and I don't know about. So our ability to guess who we pick is close to zero. I mean I didn't see Mike Pence on anybody's list. So I'm going to take the following prediction that it won't be one of those three and it won't be Vivek now. Vivek because he's too strong. The same with Vance they're both too strong. Rubio I wouldn't say Rubio is too strong. He's a great communicator seems to be a solid senator but you know he's got that people have the suspicion he's swampy. I don't know that that's true. I don't personally have any visibility into that but I'm going to say just based on past pattern that we don't know who it is and it's not going to be one of the obvious ones. I think that Trump's got a surprise coming.
So now remember I will ask you not to include this with my prediction list if you're looking what I got right and got wrong. I'm probably wrong. This would be the least confident prediction I'll ever make. Nobody's good on guessing vice presidents. Nobody's good at it and I'm definitely not good at it. It's all based on stuff we couldn't possibly know.
All right here's an interesting question if you like to play Supreme Court judge or justice. So there's a question in the case where Jack Smith is going after the Mar-a-Lago documents. That's Judge Cannon is presiding over that. And I think she said this quote talking about the budget there's some question about what is Jack Smith's budget for going after Trump and I think the answer is there's no budget meaning there's no cap meaning it's unlimited budget. Now what does that tell you? If you heard that the government has a person with an unlimited budget to prosecute one person no matter who that person is would you say to yourself huh that sounds like justice will be done because they got a big budget to do it or would it sound more like clearly targeting somebody because we never say the budget is unlimited. Why would this be the one time the budget is unlimited? The only reason I can think of is that the only thing that matters is getting Trump which would suggest it's political.
Now I wouldn't have seen that. I have to say that's sort of an interesting interpretation but apparently Judge Cannon said quote when it's limitless meaning the budget I think there is a separation of powers concern. Which is the good judge way to put it. A concern about separation of powers. Yes it would look like the executive branch giving an unlimited budget to go after their opponent would look exactly like that.
By the way are you aware that when the documents were found we now have confirmation that the cover sheets that were photographed with those Mar-a-Lago documents it's now confirmed that those were not part of the documents. That the FBI added those into the photos. Now they said they were just placeholders and stuff and blah blah blah. We don't know how they got in the photos but it looked like they intentionally took in cover sheets that would make things look very confidential to mix it in with the stuff that maybe wasn't so confidential so it would look like it was more of a scandal than it was. Now maybe yeah maybe there's some innocent reason for it. It doesn't look like it. It looks like exactly what it looks like.
But here's the more important point. The thing we also know that nobody's arguing is that the FBI asked Mar-a-Lago to turn off the security cameras for what they said was the safety of the agents. What exactly would make the agents less safe if there was a video camera? Is it because we'd learn their identities? Is that why? Because that doesn't seem to be the problem with other law enforcement. Yeah I believe that the police wear body cams fairly routinely and I'm pretty sure that most crimes the way we figure them out is because somebody had a security camera on. So why would this be the one time? And by the way is that common? So I would ask you this question does the FBI ask other entities to turn off the security cameras too? Now if I found out it was standard procedure I'd say well that's maybe a bad procedure but at least I'd understand why it happened in Mar-a-Lago. If it's not the standard procedure in calling Dan Bongino. Dan Bongino I need a ruling. Is it standard procedure to ask for the security cameras to be turned off after a site has been completely controlled before they even entered? So in other words they negotiated with Secret Service that had security control of the whole building and since they're on the same side you know they're working for the government they're not trying to break any laws they should have known that there was no danger to the people because what would it be other than identities but that seems common to most law enforcement.
So I would propose this. If you put me on a jury, I don't think there'll be a jury trial but if you put me on a jury and the defense said I want to tell you one thing they asked for the security cameras to be turned off before they went in I rest my case. I would have my decision then. I wouldn't even listen to the rest of the evidence blah blah blah evidence blah blah blah. I'd say I don't care if you told them to turn off the security cameras before you entered. Innocent innocent. That's what I call reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is you're not so sure that this evidence came to you in the right way. I would say I don't even care what the evidence was. If you tell me that they had to turn the cameras off sorry that I don't know what judge would be up enough to allow that to go forward. There's nothing else that I even cared about when I was watching this. I was like well evidence evidence you know defense prosecution kind of a normal back and forth but that doesn't look normal to me. If the FBI came to my house and told me to turn off my video cameras I would think they're going to kill me and I would have to consider actually violence in return. I wouldn't do it I don't think but I would consider it because I wouldn't consider it within the legal process. It would look like an extra legal thing which would be the scariest thing in the world. With people with guns come and tell you they're not going to follow the law right? We have guns and we want you to turn off the camera. I'm sorry you can't do both. We have guns turn off your cameras. That just has to be a 100% standard that whatever you do after that doesn't count. Any evidence you get after that throw it out. I'd love to see that go to the Supreme Court that if the people who come in with guns tell you to turn off your cameras that that should be the end of the case dismissed. I don't even care what was in those boxes.
By the way you remember when it first broke and all the fake news the hoax-ocracy was telling you there were nuclear secrets. Now they've looked at all the contents. Do you think they would tell you if there was something dangerous in there? Of course they wouldn't tell you the details if it were actually something dangerous but they would say at least something like this there was something that gave away sources and methods. I mean that would be kind of specific and I wouldn't need to know the details. I'd say oh if it's true it's bad. Or they'd say there were plans for an attack on a nuclear facility. I would say oh I'm not so sure that's true given all the other things we've seen. But if it's true yeah that's bad that's bad. But why haven't you heard that? You haven't even heard the general domain in which some of this information would be a problem. Why? If it's totally to their advantage to tell you that there were in fact really important secrets in those Mar-a-Lago boxes you don't think they'd at least give you the Adam Schiff treatment? Well I can't tell you what we saw but let me tell you I looked at it myself and there's stuff about nuclear things that you wouldn't want anybody to see but I did. Whoa I hope nobody else sees these big secrets. Of course there's nothing important in there. You would know about that by now. Do you think the hoax-ocracy has modified their statements from there might be nuclear secrets we're pretty sure there are to well honestly we haven't really heard anything bad in those boxes?
Well two courts Kansas and Missouri obviously conservative states there were court rulings to block temporarily at least the student loan relief that Biden was touting. Now some of it's going to go forward that's already been I guess grandfathered in but and this isn't a permanent stop it's just a stay until they figure out what's what but I'm glad to see that the Republicans are fighting back.
Over in Israel there's a movement to start drafting the ultra-Orthodox Jewish members because they're exempt the only ones who are exempt from the Israel military. And I think there's thinking that if everybody shared in the pain and the sacrifice that Israel would be making better decisions. In other words it's easy to send somebody else's kid but if it's your kids or it's you maybe you think about it twice. So I don't really have an opinion of how Israel runs their country. Let me be clear about that. Israel is your country and if I had an opinion you should ignore it. It's your country. I'd love you to do the same with my country. I'd love you to leave us alone and you know just let us do our thing and we can be allies and all that but no I'm not going to tell Israel. I don't even have an opinion whether they should extend the draft to this group but it's not a big group. It's the people who study all day right. So basically it's not people who are just going to the regular job or anything. It's people who just have chosen life of study. So it's kind of a small group I guess.
A top US general just said that the US might not be in a position or willing to help if Israel goes into full-blown war with Hezbollah. Well how do you interpret that? Do you believe that the United States thinks that it would be politically unwise and maybe security-wise we would get more terrorism if we helped? Do you think they're trying to stop Israel from going alone or do you think they're just playing good cop because Israel is playing bad cop and that works for both of us? I don't know I don't know. It looks a little bit like bad cop but let me tell you what I'm most concerned about. The thing I worry about the most is that the United States is not ready to fight any kind of a war whether it's Russia Ukraine or even Hezbollah. I'm not sure we have the resources that we would like the world to believe we have. I've got a feeling that all of the militaries of the world are way weaker than they think. You know maybe in some ways stronger but I've got a feeling our military has a DEI problem that's just massive and that the capability of our military is so low and we've given so many of our weapons to Ukraine we might think that all it would take is a Hezbollah conflict and we'd just have nothing left. Now obviously it only makes a difference if some critical things get used up. You know we still have stuff but there you know not everything is critical. But could we be at a point already of military failure where a Hezbollah conflict would just take everything we got and then we would look like a paper tiger? That's what I worry about anyway.
In a related comment Jackson Hinkle he said this he said we had this giant investigation into whether Russia was affecting our elections but there's no investigation of how Israel is brazenly controlling our politicians through AIPAC. That's their lobbying group. Actually it's a lobbying group of Americans who are pro-Israel. American media is a joke. This hypocrisy is so startling yet never mentioned in the press.
First of all I love Jen because while I disagree with him more than I agree I kind of love the things he brings up. You know he just looks at things through maybe a little different window sometimes than other people. So I love what he does while disagreeing with most of his opinions if that's okay. I mean I think he's just adding something. I feel like he's additive even when I disagree with him. So and I know you disagree with that but here's my pushback on that. The Russia collusion thing was something we didn't know. In other words it had to be investigated because we didn't know it was true. That's the opposite of what's happening with AIPAC and Israel. With AIPAC it's 100% legal and it's 100% transparent and it's a top headline. Nobody's hiding anything. It's a bunch of people who care about America and also Israel who are quite effectively controlling, I'm going to say controlling I think that's fair to say, the American policy about Israel. Now I don't like that. Yeah let me say as clearly as possible I don't like that. But there are a lot of things I don't like that come to me through a credible system. In other words America has laws. You know if we want to change our laws we can. I mean it's not impossible and everything is above board. It's all legal. We all know it. We can watch it in real time and we see the control. I just can't get as mad about something that's legal and transparent as I can about something that was literally a plot. The Russia collusion thing that's literally a plot. Different. Yeah you could hate both of them but I just say they shouldn't be analyzed as similars. They're not similars.
All right that ladies and gentlemen completes my amazing tour of the news today. As I said if all goes well I'm waiting for a confirmation but I'm hoping to talk to Michael Ian Black, well-known author actor comedian podcaster because he's got some different opinions on things and it'll be a livestream if we connect. I'm just waiting for a confirmation today. It will be at 2 p.m. Eastern time. It'll be recorded as well so you can catch it anytime you want but it'll be live and we're going to talk about the mechanism of how you know something's real given that our news is not terribly reliable. And rather than arguing about Trump bad Trump good we'll talk about how you know what's true and if that works out it could be really interesting. That's why I'm doing it. All right so it'll be broadcast on the same platforms so if you're watching me now it's the same way you'll be watching me if this comes together.
All right thanks for that. I'm going to say bye now to YouTube Rumble and X. Thanks for joining. I'm going to talk to my beloved local subscribers a little privately here and thanks for being part of this experience. See you tomorrow.
oh oh my goodness my goodness come on in here everybody we got a show to do I was just looking at something I couldn't believe couldn't believe it I promise not to fall asleep on live stream like I did in the man cave twice all right let me find my show on locals here so I can get right with you H I will make this work there we go I think it's all working today folks it's all working today all right good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and there's never been a better time in your life and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny human smooth brains all you need is a cuper mugar glass of tanker gelina Cen joer flas F fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and jooy me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah good stuff well just a warning to you if you've been trying to buy my newish book God's debris this is now the complete works so it's two books plus a sh story um and you tried to get it from Amazon and you tried to get the hard cover sometimes it tells you it's available in January sometimes December sometimes October sometimes July now you might say to yourself that's weird it seems like it would only be one of those things if it's all through Amazon and it's all the hard cover well there is some kind of going on that I don't quite understand but it's happened with all three books that I've released independently and it's not it's not necessarily Amazon's Problem by the way because we use a third- party entity for the hard hard copy so it's probably something about the interface between the two but a number of people said they have to cancel their order and reorder to get it to arrive in a timely fashion so I recommend that 100% of you who have ordered the book if it doesn't say July cancel it you should cancel it because I don't know what's going on but the people who canceled it and reordered it said it worked so cancel it that is my recommendation to you and by the way it is impossible to become a bestseller if when you launch your book it's not actually for sale so it does feel like it does feel personal but I understand that this process is a little buggy so other people have had similar problems but I'm I'm three for three all right um if you're following Dilbert which you can only see if you subscribe to it on X see my profile or the locals platform you would know that rap bird is now writer at the uh a newspaper called the Washington poop which is having terrible problems lately the Washington poop is but uh rap berd will be paired up with one of their other writers a writer named Phil thumb who is represented as a thumb but uh I hasten to tell you that none of this is based on any real people uh the Washington poop is not based on anything real totally made up and there are no employees no writers anyway who work for the uh The Washington Post that some people think I'm making fun of but they don't have any writers that look like thumbs I mean not exactly like thumbs and by that I mean it might remind you of a thumb but in many important details different so just keep that straight anyway as a special thing um I don't have car information yet but I think today after the show but not immediately after um at 2: p.m.
eastern time 11: a local my local which is California I'm hoping to talk to michaelan black uh a comedian podcaster actor author as many many successful careers and uh he's he would represent say a different political view from mine and asked a fascinating question when he saw me post that all the news is fake he said if all the news is fake how do you know what's true that's actually a great question and I think he was quite serious about it like what are you talking about and so I thought it would be fascinating to not debate politics I I don't want to have a debate about who's the best president and we both agree on that by the way we want to talk about how do you know what's true and I think potentially it would be the coolest conversation that anybody's ever had on politics we don't know I mean it's going to be live so Anything Could Happen um I don't have a confirmation yet but I I think we're pretty well set to do that anyway there's news from Oakland that the uh Hilton Hotel that's been in Oakland for 56 years decided to close now that causes sort of a problem for me because you know I live in the Bay Area and one of the things my friends are always asking they're saying when I go from my vacation in Oakland what's the best place to stay and I would always say well you want to go to the Hilton it's it's the best hotel in Oakland but now when my friends want a vacation in Oakland I don't know what to say um can't go to the Mc.
Donald's they closed that so I don't know I think you can sleep on the street but it should be safe it should be safe there are a lot of people live in the streets in Oakland and I think they're all safe so you'll be safe just sleep in the street weather's great well there was a Korean airflight that had a scare dropped 27,000 ft in 15 minutes injured 17 people let's see what kind of airplane type is that uh it's a Boe it's a Boe well you probably didn't see that coming it was a Boeing 373 Max 8 now I have a suggestion I'm not I'm not like an engineer or anything so I can't really help Boeing in their uh you know their engineering and their safety but I do know a little bit about marketing a little bit about marketing and here's what I'd do because they got a bad reputation they should make their airplanes entirely out of rubber that way if an airplane ever goes down it will remind you of the company boing that's called marketing people I can't help you with the engineering but that would be great marketing well another plane went down and made this sound boing all right that's all I had on that uh there's some legislation that looks like it's going to Joe Biden's desk so I got through the Congress uh that will sub potentially improve how easy it is to make a nuclear power plant in America as you all know we have screwed ourselves for Generations by having you know burdensome uh regulations to get a approval but this uh aims to cut through a bunch of that stuff this is maybe one of the biggest deals in the world you know there there'll be once every time when nuclear becomes the thing uh or not becomes a thing but but is required Beyond any doubt so we've reached the point where it is no longer a left versus a right problem it's an engineering problem it's an economic problem it's a little bit of a public relations problem um but it doesn't seem to be so much a government problem now and maybe that will make a big difference we'll see you know if I had to bet uh my bet would be that nuclear will be like other things where it's slow slow slow until it isn't so kind of what I expect is 10 years of nothing you know a lot of planning and talking and Engineering followed by 20 years of oh my god look how quickly they're building you know these smaller nuclear plants uh Bill Gates also said recently nuclear is the only way toh get where we need to go whether it's Vision or Fusion but it's the only way I think we all agree all right here's what I think would be how I would create a new city here's what I'd do I'd find a bunch big bunch of land that's owned by the government the federal government and I'd wait for Trump to be president and then I'd say hey I've identified this big chunk of land that the government doesn't seem to be using doesn't look like they'll ever use it but it'd be a great place to build a new city now remember this is Trump's idea to build cities from scratch using federal land so you can really do it right here's how I would start I would start by saying we're going to build a nuclear power plant or two um meaning that they're modular so basically it's one power plant but it might have more than one reactor later so you get a mini reactor that you know is sufficient to do all of the Power for the city you plan to build and then you say that everybody who lives in the city gets a a part of the profits of that so if there's extra the town benefits by selling their extra capacity and indeed they might actually put a second power plant there if they had connection to the grid of course and then they would sell the excess capacity so what you would do is start with a city where the people living there had already bought into the idea that they would be in the general area of a nuclear power plant but in return their electricity would be almost free and and it would be a business in other words everybody who lived there would be basically a shareholder in the electric the electric production now why should they be shareholders they absolutely should be because they're taking any risk of being near one if you're going to tell me to live within you know two miles of a nuclear power plant no matter how safe it is and by the way it's really safe now I'm still going to be thinking about it so if you want me to move there maybe I needed pieace of action and I think that could be arranged I also think that the new city should be its own insurance company for every element of insurance maybe not Medi.
Cal but all all the physical stuff you know your car insurance your house insurance your your business insurance it should all be done by the city that you live in and it should be a co-op so that if you make extra money it goes back into the city so the things that the things that the city should do for itself are electricity making a profit um it should put it in its own Wi-Fi so that nobody's really paying for Wi-Fi it's just a city city um provided service you should build the city so the transportation is practically free which could be electric cabs that you use but you could walk everywhere there's good you know maybe there's good uh good master Transit but you could pretty well start from scratch and develop a city that would be almost free you you've seen the little uh uh Tesla houses that have a Tesla battery pack but also a Tesla roof there's zero energy you can do it that way as well you could build it so that every house is self-sufficient independently so the the uh future of building new cities is really really good because we have all the good stuff now the only reason we don't Implement all the good stuff that we know how to do is it's hard to do it in an existing City you have to start from scratch so new cities it's the future all right there's a new study says you probably have a lot of microplastics in your penis now that would be if you a man and you have a penis or you're a woman with a penis so either the men or the women with penises they might have a lot of microplastics in it and the researchers are saying that might lead to erectile dysfunction they don't know but they think the more plastic in your penis the softer it will be now again I'm no medical expert but I feel like the more plastic in my penis the harder it would be I mean I'm just going to keep drinking microplastics until I've got a you know 4H hour erection that lasts 24 hours you know what I mean this whole this whole business of losing erection and having to get it back again well that seems like a lot of work why doesn't you just go plastic stay plastic all right don't listen to anything I say about health except this there's another study that says loneliness can increase the risk of Stroke by up to 56% well that's something that every guy who likes porn already knows am I right am I right if you're a lonely die the risk of stroking is 50 56% higher than if you're married yeah yeah okay that's all I have to say about that um scientists have discovered the worst thing that scientists could ever have discovered a gene that causes some people to gain more weight from exactly the same food as other people that don't gain weight from it oh we are so dead that's all we needed was an excuse for being overweight yeah I can't think of a worse thing that that science could have done to us than telling us you know some of you have a magic Gene that would be very difficult for you to know for sure if you had it because you're probably not going to go test for it but for now on every time you've got a few extra pounds you can say I should wish I had the genes you have but I've got this damn obesity Gene that just can we gain weight from the same amount of food you're eating so and it's up to a 5 or 10 pound difference they say just having this gene or not now I don't know um if that Gene is what makes you lose gain the weight my my hypothesis and you know I'm always 30 years ahead of Medical Science so they'll catch up eventually is that some people like eating more than other people now I've told you this observation before and I've noticed it when when I had lots of uh kids with their friends in the house and if I got a pizza and said hey there's Pizza everybody you know and people are let's say kids are doing the sleepover or something they're just all doing their own things and running around they would arrive for the pizza in the same order as their weight the heaviest people would be right there and the people who were maybe even underweight just wouldn't even eat one or or they' get it later much later but it wouldn't they wouldn't care they wouldn't have any hunger at all now I don't know if the hunger is caused by not eating a lot of sugar because you know carbs and sugar can make you hungrier so it could be that not eating makes you want to not eat that could be it but it seemed to me that people had wildly different preferences for eating and that's got to explain almost everything because you know as much as I like to say I do all the things you know I eat right and exercise and stuff like that really it's because I don't like eating that much if I like the eating as much as some people apparently like eating you know the Foodies and the people who are just having an orgasm with every sip of wine I don't have that at all I never have that you know I mean there's some things that taste better than others but I'm not really you know driven by an addiction to food if I were I'd be happier so I don't believe in Free Will that's what I'm saying I saw some uh more Instagram personal relationship advice as I've told you all relationship advice that you will see on social media has the following quality uh you have to do these things also those things couldn't possibly work so in other words nobody really has any idea how to make a relationship work literally there there is nobody period who has any advice on relationships that even on paper could work you just look at it and you go well like do you not understand how people work that couldn't work in the real world let me give you an example there was a little clip of a young woman who was explaining that she had figured out what men want and it's so easy she says all men want is basically food sex respect and peace men would you agree with that the the men who are also in that clip were shaking their heads oh yeah she got it you got that's all we need we want some food sex respect and peace and we're perfectly happy so so I guess we've unlocked the secret to relationships so there it is uh women have finally figured out men and once the word gets around then women will start treating men with respect give them peace food and Sex On Demand um do you see any problem with that worldview uh um have you ever met a woman have any of you ever met a woman because I feel like a lot of this advice comes from people who couldn't have possibly ever met a woman you know that if a woman gave you all of these things she would hate your guts it doesn't go any other way you might get those things but she would hate you you get that right so if you so if you give a woman if if a woman feels like she's just like doing this for a man she's going to think I'm doing a lot of work for this man and there's this guy at work who doesn't seem to be so demanding he's so handsome and he's always flirting with me none of this works I'm pretty sure nobody's figured it out but the the experts on Instagram are continuously hilarious it if if simply no knowing what you should do worked I think more people would be doing it but women don't want to do these things that's why it doesn't happen it's not because they don't understand it do you think the problem was knowledge have you ever met a woman oh it's not knowing it has nothing to do with knowing what the man wants they always know what we want they always know what we want they just choose not to give it for a variety of different reasons I can't explain uh NASA canell a space walk because one of the uh space suits was leaking water well I'm no astronaut but I can tell you if I ever put on a space suit um in space and I was about to go outside my capsule uh I'm pretty sure my space suit would be leaking water too if you know what I mean yeah that's all I had for that um so Congress is uh contemplating for the first time ever separating alcohol from their food diet recommendations well if you can't if you can't trust the government with your food recommendations who can you trust uh speaking of which Jordan Peterson recently said uh on a interview I have never recovered from finding out that the food pyramid is a scam is there a worst medical crime in history I agree with that the the food pyramid lies that we were all told might be the biggest crime in American history you know you could say Co is up there now you could say you know all of our bad things happening in our politics up there but I don't know that anything had more direct impact than lying about what food is healthy that's that's about as bad as anybody's ever been in the history of humankind so I agree with Jordan Peterson and it def I could say that that one thing um changed me forever now so when Jordan said I've never recovered from it oh I feel that I have never recovered from the fact that the government lied to me that much I mean that's a big one we're going to lie to you to tell you to do something that will kill you slowly and we know it I mean I assume some of them knew it but uh apparently the discussion is that uh it used to be that people thought well a couple drinks a week isn't going to hurt you but now they're thinking maybe a couple of drinks per week might Hur you or at least you're not going to be worse off if you don't have them I was listening to Andrew Hub and as asked the same answer the same question uh are you going to be do you really have to go to zero drinking and he didn't want to be you know the moralist who told you what you should or should not do with your life so he was clear that he wasn't recommending but he didn't think that two drinks a week was going to kill you but you'd probably not be any healthier because of it which is a good way to say it I think I think he chose his words carefully there there's no evidence that that moderate drinking makes you healthier remember they used to say it did so that's a big step because people believe huberman and he's saying as clearly as possible possible no drinking a little bit isn't going to make you healthier even if they used to tell you that all the time it's like the food pyramid it was an obvious lie that's G on for decades it was just obviously a lie I've been telling you forever it was obviously a lie now I doubt that so the smart thing that they've done is they've treated alcohol like it's not food thank you what are they treated like poison what did Andrew huberman uh in his new video on this what did he frame alcohol as poison he actually said alcohol is a form of poison there you go alcohol is poison gets around um so I guess the Supreme Court is uh delaying into July some of its big decisions cowards you cowards I don't know why they're delaying it maybe it's just more work than usual but some the big stuff we'll still have to wait for meanwhile the big story today is Julian nange is free um you can understand why PE the CIA wanted to kill him and Mike Pence still thinks he should be in jail and um I think there's this report that Hillary wanted to end him he once said in public the goal is to have endless Wars not a successful War sort of famous for saying that so uh he's he did a plea deal I guess he's got some health issues that may have played into his willingness to do a plea deal but he he'll end up back in Australia and he'll be free in Australia after the plea deal is completed now this raises many questions number one did he give out any secret information in return for this leniency is that what happened is there more to this deal than the public knows for example maybe they just needed maybe the bad guys just needed to know who his Source was maybe he gave it up maybe the source died and so he felt he could give it up so we don't know what's happening right I doubt he would just give up a source because he went to jail for a long time to not do stuff like that so I'm gonna I'm going to go with probably Assange did not make a deal that you wouldn't be happy with probably not don't know for sure um but the other idea is that the only reason it's happening now is to take it off the table before the election because Trump was definitely going to Pardon him or or whatever the term is and uh that would have given the Libertarians a strong reason to vote for Trump if they had been on the fence so this takes away that strong reason they still have Ross Al and they may feel the same about him so so if he gets pardoned before the election then it's just political yeah that would be a little bit on the nose uh the other the other thing I worry about is that it's really a plan to kill him because once he's a Freer range chicken it's going to be a lot easier to get to him and arrange an accident so I'm super concerned that an accident will happen to him in the next 18 months that seems kind of dangerous um but um he's already flown out uh I think they put him on a Boeing flight oh God no I'm just making that up it wasn't a Boeing uh but it would be funny if it were and I guess he had to spend half a million dollars just for the private flight because there was some reason he couldn't take a commercial flight I don't had to go to some weird Island for reasons that are too boring to talk about uh anyway so uh on the lawfare of trump you've got uh judge Canon and um so she's doing a bunch of rulings and the Democrats are mad because she's taking too long and she seems to be very deliberate and she's ruling both for and against the Trump defense so I think the Democrats just they're just not happy when things are going the way they're supposed to go they just want Trump punished and they don't care anything about the law I think is the bottom line um but um anyway I don't care about the details of that um if you were to ask your uh Amazon uh digital device whose name I won't say because it will trigger all your devices at home uh if you ask it who is the most powerful doctor in the world it says Bill Gates that's right it says Bill Gates is the most powerful doctor in the world or influential now the interesting thing about that is I assume that's an AI driven response is it wrong now Bill Gates does not have a medical license but does he do more medical stuff than any other medical person and I think the answer is yes and I think he personally has to say let's do this or it doesn't get done cuz you know it's his money so this is not a wrong answer he doesn't have a doctor's license to practice but he is in fact the most consequential doctor in the United States if not the world because he has so much influence on you know vaccinations and malaria and you know by the way there's a lot of stuff that you would agree with right eradicating malaria and stuff like that you probably wouldn't have problem with that uh so good and bad this is actually true that this you know it was sort of reported as that's a crazy answer it's not it's actually the exact right answer in my opinion I think the AI nailed it this time so that's fun to watch when the AI gets it right when you don't expect them to so I was watching another Trump campaign uh video and I I tell you I keep telling you this but the skill that the Trump campaign has this time is way higher than what we've seen before the you know I won't show it to you because you can imagine it but it's got all this strong imagery you know Trump looking like a boss he likes to show his plane taking off and Landing because that's like a strong exciting thing watching the plane um it shows them uh attending the UFC and getting a big hand that's a strong thing you know bunch of men who fight cheering for him that shows strength um and then of course you know there's the soaring Pros about but uh this time they were playing hip-hop music so the music on top of the video was uh hip-hop is that the first time because it seems to me that Trump had a bad habit of playing the whitest music in the world at his rallies and on his you know also on his uh campaign stuff but if he's moved to uh A hip-hop Vibe smart because the music is good you know it's got a a great feel to it wasn't anything I was familiar with but you when you hear it you go oh that's that fits that commercial it's a strong beat and everything so yes everything that the Trump campaign is doing it's so on point it's so on point that you don't think about it if you look at any Joe Biden campaign ad you no matter what your politics are if you were just being objective about it they're they all look like they were done by high school projects honestly like literally they look like they were done by high school projects but the Trump stuff looks like the best things you've ever seen in that domain I I can't I can't keep ignoring that I mean it's a big big difference in just talent in the campaign anyway uh Byron York was reporting on xow Trump describes how the debate happened in the first place now this is similar to what I thought so Trump's on the same page uh I'll summarize it which is that once Trump said that he would debate Biden anywhere and in any way then Biden sprung the Trap of creating the situation that Trump would least like to want least like to want to debate him which is see it n CNN hosts who've been calling him Hitler forever um sitting down no audience microphones turned off basically everything he agreed to are all the things that are good for Biden and bad for him now he thinks that maybe the trick was to get him to reject the debate and I agree with that I think they were trying to get a situ create a situation in which he would say I'm not going to debate because that would have been really bad bad mistake I I've seen some social media opinions say he shouldn't debate because it's you know too biased against him I disagree with that completely I disagree completely and it's because the Andre Agy tennis strategy I keep explaining he needs to go destroy their strongest Fort not their weak ones nobody's going to be impressed if he tears apart you know some weak pundit on a weak platform he know he needs to go into the belly of the Beast and then he just needs to own it so the fact that it's the worst setup that could possibly be for him is the best setup for him because if he can't if he can't accomplish this go into an unfriendly territory and Conquer it maybe he's not the president you need honestly if he can't go into this situation and dominate it and you know he can but if he doesn't well we're going to have some questions aren't we we'd have some real questions you know did some change you know what why are you not performing the way we expected you to so I think that Trump going into the worst situation for Trump is the best situation for Trump because I'm very confident that he'll do well um and we've seen him talk about his advisers who saying you know whether he should go hard at Biden or whether he should you know maybe try to be a normal person so you know that he's had lots of time to think about the approach I think he's already signaling that he's going to play a cool and just let Biden talk he didn't say it and Anything could happen but he seems to be signaling that he is at least agreeable that that's not a dumb idea you know he he's very much considering the play as here's what I think I think that uh Biden's entire attack is going to be this Trump guy is crazy and chaotic all Trump has to do is not be crazy and chaotic that's it it it'll looks stupid when Biden's accusing him of chaos when Trump is just calmly explaining how he's the one who who brought you know border security and you know um a good economy and that the real chaos is the inflation in the open border and two Wars now he can say that just calmly and just completely dismantle uh Biden but here's the risk it's never super safe to tell Trump to not act like Trump because we don't know how much practice he has acting like somebody else he's got a lifetime of acting like himself he knows how to do that but is he going to play a different character just because it would help him win he can but who knows all right um did you know that one of the co-hosts so Jake Tapper will be hosting the debate with Dana Bash his cooworker did you know that Dana Bash according to the amuse account which you should all be following amuse on the X platform uh great stuff by the way that I don't see I don't see in other places so amuse has some game um that Dana bash's ex-husband is one of the PE 51 people who signed the letter that said the laptop was Russian disinformation so yeah when when we talk about uh the the host being biased you got Jake Tapper who's been calling Trump basically some form of Hitler forever and you got basu's ex-husband signed the laptop letter now of course it's an ex-husband and it's a different person right it's not Dana Bash it's her husband ex-husband but it seems unlikely that they're on super different pages on this question and I'd love to know if Dana Bash reported the laptop as Russian in disinformation I'm guessing yes without looking into it all right so as you know the uh Snopes um I guess in June they made the change but we just noticed it recently that uh they made the change to say that the fine people hoax was indeed a hoax and that the president never called the racist fine people and in fact he said directly the opposite now as you know that was the centerpiece of Biden's entire campaign and he's still saying it so you might say to yourself my God this is the biggest story in the whole country I mean what is bigger than that the entire country is torn apart by Charlottesville and then the you know the boosting of it as a message that the president had called actual racists you know marching racists find people now of course it didn't happen but so you may have noticed that it was trending on X and it was uh it was basically in every news outlet and every pundit and every independent person mentioned it in a big way you all notice that right every person you follow on X if you're on X everyone talked about it do you know what's missing every group that you don't follow didn't talk about it in other words if you're Republican leaning and you following a bunch of Republican news sites and commenters they all all talked about it 100% everyone from Fox News to Breitbart to you know your Independence you Colin rug uh everybody basically everybody now have you heard a grounded news it's it's a they're a group who likes to show you where there are blind spots in the news so ground news you can see them it's an app and it's also a website um showed me and then I posted it that there was uh nearly 100% coverage of the conservative news landscape and zero on the left leaning news zero actually zero none not a single one now if you were doing a little dance and saying finally you know we broke we broke the hoax no we didn't no we did not no there were no hoaxes that were debunked the people who knew it was a hoax got more information for what they already knew that's you know Snopes confirmed it but there's not a single person on the left who is aware that it's a hoax and they have no way to find out because they're sure as hell not going to turn on Fox News and if they do they're sure as hell not going to believe anything they say so amazingly the biggest story in the country by far this is the big is way bigger than Assange it's bigger than inflation it's bigger than everything that the current president ran on a known hoax and divided the country to do it and is still claiming the hoax to be true and the entire corporate media except the right-leaning media is backing him still still that's the biggest story in the country it's completely invisible to half the country so in my opinion um we are not a republic and we're not a democracy but we're not a dictatorship per se we're a hoax cracy our entire system is hoaxes are floated by the Democrats their media puppets repeat the hoaxes and and that becomes our reality and then the the politicians sort of have to Follow The hoax and the voters end up following the hoax when they vote so we don't have a republic we have a hoax ocracy and that's not an exaggeration this is the important point I I mean literally the the fundamental operating system of the United States is hoaxes we we just have to deal with that I think we need to just wake up our system is one hoax after another that informs all of our actions so the things we teach our kids the way we vote the way the schools are organized the way we write our history it's all fake I don't know how long that's been the case probably all of my life but once you realize that you're living within a hoax it's not a republic it's not a democracy it's not even close we're we're not even in the same like planetary planetary orbit as any of those things we are purely a hoax based system and maybe always have been I don't know I don't know how long it's been but clearly at this point we're just a hoax speaking of which George Soros is already spent $400 million trying to buy the second biggest radio network so he's working the FCC which has a lot of Democrats in it and trying to get approval for it now why in the world would we be okay with George Soros owning the second biggest radio network clearly he's buying he he's buying protection for the hocy what else could it be he he wants to make sure that there's nobody who can tell you the truth that's the whole point do you think that do you think that George Soros decided that radio was the good investment of course not are you kidding me no radio is not an investment no you do it for control so people don't find out what you're really up to there's no other reason why do you think a basos owns the Washington Post because he really likes the dying newspaper industry no now in his case he might have some pressure from some intelligence sources but clearly none of this is about news it is about maintaining hoaxes all right it's the the network that Soros is trying to buy reaches 165 million monthly listeners 165 million yeah you know if it weren't for rer Murdoch who as you know is now from this country there wouldn't be any competing news imagine if Fox News didn't exist and by the way it's not my job to say they get everything right because they don't they don't get everything right but if you didn't have the competing version you would really really be confused about the world you live in imagine if all the news was just the hoaxy stuff that's the way it was before Fox News it was only the Hox hoces all right let me give you another example of that uh now we have 16 Nobel economists that have uh Gone public with some kind of letter saying that uh Trump is a real risk to inflation and that a trump presidency would be an inflation bomb let's see they're economists that sounds good they're Nobel prizewinning economists oh my God that sounds credible and oh there's 16 of them oh oh my God there's 16 of them I mean they can't be wrong could they could they be wrong I mean there's 16 of them and they're the the very best these are the these are the Nobel Economist for God's sakes unfortunately you should see this more like the 51 Intel people who signed the laptop no it's not their real opinion and if it is it's from cognitive dissonance no you shouldn't listen to them as experts no they don't have a good argument yes if you have even a little bit of understanding economics you know this is complete as everyone does who took you know one economics course and I if you need some more uh explaining of why the Nobel economists do not have let's say a lock on what's true let me just ask you this question why do we have inflation if all these econom IST know how to avoid it and they seem to be willing to advise us and they're all on the same page where were they before were were these same economists telling us that hey the things you're doing right now are going to cause massive inflation did they because if they did well I might actually listen to them wow they got it right that time maybe they get it right again but we live in a world where I guarantee you remember I have a degree in economics and I can tell you for sure there are no economists who understand inflation now that sounds like a big claim because it seems obvious print more money you got inflation if it were that easy everybody would have the same uh pre prediction if you just sort of look at it go huh well I've sort of skimmed this topic and uh looks to me like Trump's going to drive that inflation through the roof now what would be the argument for why Trump would cause more inflation what do you think the argument sounds like well here we go um the the reason that he's doing it is because um um I don't think they had a reason reason but one of them was oh here's one of the reasons uh that the Trump presidency could take inflation to new heights uh because a January 6 style attack on Democratic institutions could undermine global economic stability I think that was an axios so so let's see if you can follow this so the January 6 hoax was that Trump was trying to overthrow the country but all of you know that was a hoax so the reason that Trump would cause inflation is that the people who made up this hoax say that he might do more of the things that he's never done and then people would think there's chaos and then that would through a a process called Magic would cause your prices to go up there's your 16 Nobel Economist right there no it's complete it's absolute complete 51 people say the laptop is Russian disinformation Russia collusion find people hoax drinking bleach and it's organized again have you seen the pattern that when when Republicans are wrong about something it's because they were just wrong now they're wrong about a lot in my opinion but it's always just comes from some source that wasn't good enough and you know they bought into it and it got boosted and you know it fits some narrative so they wanted to believe it so Republicans are like Freer range um Freer range truth Believers you know they're they're all over the place but the but every time you see one of these big lies coming from Democrats they're organized some somebody got 16 Nobel economists to say something that's kind of obviously stupid somebody got 51 Intel people to sign a thing that they clearly didn't believe was true unless they're that dumb but I don't think so the Russia collusion hoax gigantic multi-entity uh hoax that involves all kinds of groups and entities organized the fine people hoax organized it's an org organized because the media is obviously just backing up their their masters it's all organized do you think the fact that there are no left leaning um entities covering it is completely an accident I doubt it even Carville was talking about how uh he wants Biden to say some things that give all the Democrats their marching orders so they know what to say and do it's very it's we well understood that uh the direction is some bull is created at the top and then everybody has to lie about the same and that's their model now how does it work on the other side let me explain how it works on the other side I already told you a story exactly how it works Trump went into an interview this is a story I just told you and he said some people are saying I should you know calm down when I do the debate some people are saying I should do this when he's choosing the vice president he talks about you know some people are saying I should pick this person some people think I'll pick this person Trump is receiving wisdom from the audience not always right you know maybe maybe the audience gets it wrong but Trump is a receptacle of what is true and sometimes what isn't but it's coming from the bottom up and he is just focusing that energy and then he converts it into government he is a true populist he literally cares deeply based son action I'm not reading his mind his his actions suggest he cares a lot about the what the base wants and then he tries to give it to him that is not happening on the left on the left there's some kind of weird brainwashing gaslighting hooc that's being hatched every minute in every category and then the the Sheep are told what to say and do very different and what do the Democrats describe this system asum Trump is stealing your democracy that's what they describe that as and obviously it's projection all right um so la um is having a problem with homeless camps you know the homeless are creating a lot of camps on the sidewalk but thank God I saw a report by end wokeness which is one word it's the account on X you should really follow that one too so two accounts they should just absolutely take my word for it just don't fight right if you're on X just do this please just follow these guys it's one is uh end wokeness one word and the other is amuse spelled the way you think just follow them it's like it's like what what you would see if the news were real that's what it is it's the stuff you'd see if the news were real it's really good stuff anyway um so and wokness reports that finally La is doing something about all the homeless camps checking out the details what they're doing about all the homeless camps um oh okay they're removing the barriers that businesses put up that were trying to end the homeless camps okay so this is the wrong direction they're trying to figure out how to stop businesses from making it difficult to camp in front of their store that's really happening do you think this story will be uh in the left leaning press a lot I don't know it probably wasn't as a it probably was in the left leaning press as a good thing all right well the press speaking of the press says that uh Trump's VP picks are down to three bergam Vance and Rubio then this morning there was a vake rumor but I don't think there substance to it um I'm not so sure that it's narrowed down to these three bergam Vance and Rubio not so sure um if it were these three I would say beram is boring Vance might be too useful in Congress and by the way he he's the whitest looking person in the history of the United States and I do worry that that will just cause the other people to have one more reason to get worked up now there's no like I like his views so he's he's very strong and communication his communication skills are through the roof he looks great you know he's handsome he's young uh uh he's aggressive uh he's got balls it's like everything you want but uh he's also great in where he is so some of the the calculation is who do you want to move out of a place that they're already great uh Rubios some people say you might be a little too connected to I don't know the Deep state or something so people yeah Rubio is too swampy people are saying in the comments right now so here's what I think it's not any of those three so I'm gonna um let me say two things first uh I have famously written and I'm republishing wi big in the next month or so it's little updated um so I famously said that nobody can guess the vice president and that that's the worst thing that I can guess so it's the vice president pick is totally based on things that are happening behind the curtain that you and I don't know about so our ability to guess who we pick is close to zero I mean I didn't see Mike Pence on anybody's list so I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to take the following prediction that it won't be one of those three and it won't be V now V because he's too strong the same with with Vance they're both too strong um Rubio's I wouldn't say Rubio is too strong he's a great communicator seems to be a solid Senator but uh you know he's got that people have the suspicion he's a he's swampy I I don't know that that's true I don't personally have any uh visibility into that but I'm going to say just based on past pattern that we don't know who it is and it's not going to be one of the obvious ones I think that Trump's got a surprise coming so now remember I will ask you not to include this with my prediction prediction list if you're looking what I got right and got wrong I'm probably wrong this would be the least confident prediction I'll ever make nobody's good on guessing vice presidents nobody's good at it and I'm definitely not good at it it's it's all based on stuff we couldn't possibly know all right um here's an interesting question if you like to play Supreme Court judge or Justice um so there's a question in the uh case where Jack Smith is going after the maral Lago documents that's Judge Canon is presiding over that and uh I think she said this quote talking about the budget there's some question about what is Jack Smith's budget for going after Trump and I think the answer is there's no budget meaning there's no cap meaning it's unlimited budget now what does that tell you if you heard that the government as a person with an unlim limited budget to prosecute one person no matter who that person is would you say to yourself H that sounds like justice will be done because they got a big budget to do it or would it sound more like clearly targeting somebody because we never say the budget is unlimited why would this be the one time the budget is unlimited the only reason I can think of is that the only thing that matters is getting Trump which would suggest it's political now I wouldn't have seen that I I have to say that's sort of an interesting interpretation but apparently judge Canon said quote when it's limitless meaning the budget I think there is a separation of powers concern which is the good judge way to put it a concern about separation of powers yes it would look like the executive branch giving an unlimited budget to go after their uh opponent would look exactly like that by the way are you aware that um when the documents were found we now have confirmation that the cover the cover sheets that were photographed with those Maro documents it's now confirmed that those were not part of the documents that the FBI added those into the photos now they said they were just placeholders and stuff and blah blah blah we don't know how they got in the photos but it looked like they intentionally took in cover sheets that would make things look very confidential to mix it in with the stuff that maybe wasn't so confidential so it would look like it was more of a scandal than it was now maybe yeah maybe there's some innocent reason for it it doesn't look like it it looks like exactly what it looks like but here's the more important point the thing we also know that nobody's arguing is that the FBI asked marago to turn off the security cameras for what they said was the safety of the agents what exactly would make the agents less safe if there was a video camera is it because we'd learn their identities is that why uh because that doesn't seem to be the problem with other law enforcement yeah I I believe that the police wear body cams fairly routinely and I'm pretty sure that most crimes the way we figure them out is because somebody had a security camera on so why would this be the one time and by the way is that common so I would ask you this question does the FBI ask other entities to turn off the security cameras too now if I found out it was standard procedure I'd say well that's a maybe a bad procedure but at least I'd understand why it happened in maral Lago if it's not the standard procedure in uh calling Dan banino uh Dan banino I need a I need a ruling uh is it standard procedure to ask for the security cameras to be turned off after a site has been completely controlled before they even entered so in other words they negotiated with a secret service that had security control of the the whole building and since they're on the same side you know they're working for the government they're not trying to break any laws they should have known that there was no danger to the people because what would it be other than identities but that seems common to most law enforcement so I would uh I would uh propose this if you put me on a jury I don't think there'll be a jury trial but if you put me in a jury and the defense said I want to tell you one thing they asked for the security cameras to be turned off before they went in I rest my case I would have my decision then I wouldn't even listen to the rest of the evidence be blah blah blah evidence blah blah blah I'd say I don't care if you turned off your if you told them to turn off the security cameras before you entered innocent innocent that's that's what I call Reasonable Doubt reasonable doubt is you're not so sure that this evidence came to you in the right way I would say I don't even care what the evidence was if you tell me that they had to turn the cameras off sorry that I don't know what judge would be up enough to allow that to go forward there's there's nothing else that I even cared about when I you know as I was watching this I was like well evidence evidence you know defense prosecution kind of a normal back and forth but that doesn't look normal to me if the FBI came to my house and told me to turn off my video cameras I would think they're going to kill me and I would have to consider actually violence in return I I wouldn't do it I don't think but I would consider it because I wouldn't consider it within the legal process it would look like an extra legal thing which would be the scariest thing in the world with people with guns come and tell you they're not going to follow the law right we have guns and we want you to turn off the camera I'm sorry you can't do both we have guns turn off your cameras that's that just has to be that has to be a 100% standard that whatever you do after that doesn't count any evidence you get after that throw it out I'd love to see that go to the Supreme Court that if the people who come in with guns tell you to turn off your cameras that that should be the end of the case dismissed I don't even care what was in those boxes by the way you remember when it that uh first broke and all the the fake news H The hoax suracy was telling you there were nuclear secrets now they've looked at all the contents do you think they would tell you if there was something dangerous in there of course they wouldn't tell you the details if it were actually something dangerous but they would say at least something like this there was something that gave away sources and methods I mean that would be kind of specific and I wouldn't need to know the details I'd say o if it's true it's bad or they'd say they're plans for an attack on a nuclear facility I would say oh I'm not so sure that's true given all the other things we've seen But if it's true yeah that's bad that's bad but why haven't you heard that you haven't even heard the general domain in which some of this information would be a problem why I if it's totally to their advantage to tell you that there were in fact really important secrets in those marlago boxes you don't think they'd at least give you the Adam shift treatment well I can't tell you what we saw but let me tell you I looked at it myself and there's stuff about nuclear things that you wouldn't want anybody to see but I did whoa I hope nobody else sees these big secretes of course there's nothing important in there you would know about that by now do you think the hoaxy has modified their statements from there might be nuclear secrets we're pretty sure there are to well honestly we haven't really heard anything bad in those boxes well two courts Kansas and Missouri obviously conservative States um there were Court rulings to block temporarily at least the student loan relief that Biden was touting now some of it's going to go forward that's already been uh I guess grandfathered in but um and this isn't a permanent stop it's just a stay until they figure out what's what's what but I'm glad to see that the Republicans are fighting back over in Israel there's a movement to uh to start drafting the ultra Orthodox uh Jewish members because they're exempt the only ones who are exempt from the Israel military and I think there's thinking that if everybody shared in the the pain and the sacrifice that Israel would be making better decisions in other words it's easy to send somebody else store but if it's your kids or it's you maybe you think about it twice so I don't really have an opinion of how how Israel runs their country let me be clear about that Israel is your country and if I had an opinion you should ignore it it's your country I'd love you to do the same with my country I love you to leave us alone and you know just let us do our thing and you we can be allies and all that but no I'm not going to tell Israel I don't even have an opinion whether they should extend the draft to this group but is a it's not a big group it's the people who study all day right it so basically it's not people who are just going to the regular job or anything it's people who just have chosen life of study so is kind of a small group I guess a top US general just said that the US might not be in a position or willing to help if Israel goes into full BL war with Hezbollah well how do you interpret that do you believe that the United States thinks that it would be politically unwise and maybe security-wise we would get more terrorism if we helped do you think they're trying to stop Israel from going alone or do you think they're just playing good cop because Israel is playing bad cop and that works for both of us I don't know I don't know it looks a little bit like bad cop but let me tell you what I'm most concerned about the thing I worry about the most is that the United States is not ready to fight any kind of a war whether it's Russia Ukraine or even Hezbollah I'm not sure we have the resources that we would like the world to believe we have I've got a feeling that all of the militaries of the world are way weaker than they think you know maybe in some ways stronger but but uh I've Got a Feeling our military has a Dei problem that's just massive and that the capability of our military is so low and we've given so many of our weapons to Ukraine we might think that all it would take is a Hezbollah conflict and we' just have nothing left now obviously it only makes a difference if some critical things get used up you know we still have stuff but there you know not everything is critical but could we be at a point already of military failure where where a heesa conflict would just take everything we got and then and then we would look like a paper tiger that's what I worry about anyway uh in a related comment uh Jen uh weager he said uh this he said we had this giant investigation into whether Russia was affecting our elections but there's no investigation of how Israel is brazenly controlling our politicians through APAC that's their lobbying group uh actually it's a lobbying group of Americans who are pro-israel uh American Media is a joke this hypocrisy is so startling yet never mentioned in the Press um first of all I love Jen because while I I disagree with them more than I agree I kind of love you know the the things he brings up you know he just looks at things through maybe a little different window sometimes than other people so I love what he does while disagreeing with most of his opinions if that's okay I mean I think he's just adding something I feel like he's additive even when I disagree with him so and I know you disagree with that but here's my push back on that the uh the Russia collusion thing was something we didn't know in other words it had to be investigated because we didn't know it was true that's the opposite of what's happening with APAC and Israel with APAC it's 100% legal and it's 100% transparent and it's a top headline nobody's hiding anything it's a bunch of people who care about America and also Israel who are quite effectively controlling I I'm going to say controlling I think that's fair to say the uh American policy about Israel now I don't like that yeah let me say as clearly as possible I don't like that but there are a lot of things I don't like that come to me through a a credible system in other words America has laws you know if we want to change our laws we can I mean it's not impossible and everything is above board it's all legal we all know it we can watch it in real time and we see the control I I I just can't get as mad about something that's legal and transparent as I can about something that was literally a plot the Russia collusion thing that's literally a plot different yeah you could hate both of them but I just say they shouldn't be analyzed as similars they're not similars all right that ladies and gentlemen completes my amazing tour of the news today um as I said if all goes well I'm waiting for a confirmation but I'm hoping to talk to Michael Ian Black uh well-known uh author actor comedian podcaster um because he's got some different opinions on things and uh it'll be a live stream if we connect I'm just waiting for a confirmation today it will be at 2 pm eastern time it'll be recorded as well so you can catch it anytime you want but it'll be uh live and we're going to talk about the mechanism of how you know something's real given that our news is not terribly reliable and rather than arguing about you know Trump bad Trump good we we'll talk about how you know what's true and if that works out it could be could be really interesting that's why I'm doing it all right so it'll be broadcast on the the same platforms so if you're watching me now it's the same way you'll be watching me if if this comes together all right um thanks for that I'm going to say bye now to uh You.
Tube Rumble and X thanks for joining I'm going to talk to my beloved local subscribers a little privately here and thanks for being part of this experience see you tomorrow oh that's not working I I hate it when I go through that whole thing and then uh the interface just doesn't work try it again nope the interface is not working so let's say what will I do I'm going to close it and reopen it but we're we're done with I think closing reopening might help so I'm going I might disappear for a minute e e e e e e e e e
oh oh my
goodness my goodness come on in here
everybody we got a show to
do I was just looking at something I
couldn't believe couldn't believe
it I promise not to fall asleep on live
stream like I did in the man cave
twice all right let me find my show on
locals here so I can get right with you
H I will make this
work there we
go I think it's all working today folks
it's all working
today all right good morning everybody
and welcome to the highlight of human
civilization it's called coffee with
Scott Adams and there's never been a
better time in your life and if you'd
like to take this experience up to
levels that nobody can even understand
with their tiny human smooth brains all
you need is a cuper mugar glass of
tanker gelina Cen joer flas F fill it
with your favorite liquid I like coffee
and jooy me now for the unparallel
pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the
thing makes everything better it's
called the simultaneous Sip and it
happens now
go ah
good
stuff well just a warning to you if
you've been trying to buy my newish book
God's debris this is now the complete
works so it's two books plus a sh story
um and you tried to get it from Amazon
and you tried to get the hard cover
sometimes it tells you it's available in
January sometimes
December sometimes
October sometimes July now you might say
to
yourself that's weird it seems like it
would only be one of those things if
it's all through Amazon and it's all the
hard cover well there is some kind of
going on that I don't quite
understand but it's happened with all
three books that I've released
independently and it's not it's not
necessarily Amazon's Problem by the way
because we use a third- party entity for
the hard hard copy so it's probably
something about the interface between
the
two but a number of people said they
have to cancel their order and reorder
to get it to arrive in a timely fashion
so I recommend that 100% of you who have
ordered the book if it doesn't say
July cancel it you should cancel it
because I don't know what's going on but
the people who canceled it and reordered
it said it worked so cancel it that is
my recommendation to you and by the way
it is impossible to become a bestseller
if when you launch your book it's not
actually for
sale so it does feel like it
does feel personal but I understand that
this process is a little buggy so other
people have had similar problems but I'm
I'm three for three all right um if
you're following Dilbert which you can
only see if you subscribe to it on X see
my profile or the locals platform you
would know that rap bird is now writer
at the uh a newspaper called the
Washington poop which is having terrible
problems lately the Washington poop is
but uh rap berd will be paired up with
one of their other writers a writer
named Phil
thumb who is represented as a
thumb but uh I hasten to tell you that
none of this is based on any real
people uh the Washington poop is not
based on anything real totally made up
and there are no employees no writers
anyway who work for the uh The
Washington Post that some people think
I'm making fun of but they don't have
any writers that look like
thumbs I mean not exactly like
thumbs and by that I mean it might
remind you of a thumb but in many
important details
different so just keep that straight
anyway as a special thing um I don't
have car information yet but I think
today after the show but not immediately
after um at 2: p.m. eastern time 11: a
local my local which is
California I'm hoping to talk to
michaelan
black uh a comedian podcaster actor
author as many many successful careers
and uh he's he would represent say a
different political view from mine and
asked a fascinating question when he saw
me post that all the news is fake he
said if all the news is fake how do you
know what's true that's actually a great
question and I think he was quite
serious about it like what are you
talking
about and so I thought it would be
fascinating to not debate politics I I
don't want to have a debate about who's
the best president and we both agree on
that by the way we want to talk about
how do you know what's true and I think
potentially it would be the coolest
conversation that anybody's ever had on
politics we don't know I mean it's going
to be live so Anything Could Happen um I
don't have a confirmation yet but I I
think we're pretty well set to do that
anyway there's news from Oakland that
the uh Hilton Hotel that's been in
Oakland for 56 years decided to close
now that causes sort of a problem for me
because you know I live in the Bay Area
and one of the things my friends are
always asking they're saying when I go
from my vacation in Oakland what's the
best place to
stay and I would always say well you
want to go to the Hilton it's it's the
best hotel in Oakland but now when my
friends want a vacation in Oakland I
don't know what to
say um can't go to the McDonald's they
closed that so I don't know I think you
can sleep on the street but it should be
safe it should be safe there are a lot
of people live in the streets in Oakland
and I think they're all safe so you'll
be safe just sleep in the street
weather's
great well there was a Korean airflight
that had a scare dropped 27,000 ft in 15
minutes injured 17 people let's see what
kind of airplane type is that uh it's a
Boe it's a
Boe well you probably didn't see that
coming it was a Boeing 373 Max
8 now I have a suggestion I'm
not I'm not like an engineer or anything
so I can't really help Boeing in their
uh you know their engineering and their
safety but I do know a little bit about
marketing a little bit about marketing
and here's what I'd do because they got
a bad
reputation they should make their
airplanes entirely out of
rubber that way
if an airplane ever goes down it will
remind you of the
company
boing that's called marketing people I
can't help you with the engineering but
that would be great marketing well
another plane went down and made this
sound
boing all right that's all I had on that
uh there's some legislation that looks
like it's going to Joe Biden's desk so I
got through the Congress uh that will
sub
potentially improve how easy it is to
make a nuclear power plant in America as
you all know we have screwed ourselves
for Generations by having you know
burdensome uh regulations to get a
approval but this uh aims to cut through
a bunch of that stuff this is maybe one
of the biggest deals in the world you
know there there'll be once every time
when nuclear becomes the thing
uh or not becomes a thing but but is
required Beyond any doubt so we've
reached the point where it is no longer
a left versus a right problem it's an
engineering problem it's an economic
problem it's a little bit of a public
relations problem um but it doesn't seem
to be so much a government problem now
and maybe that will make a big
difference we'll see you know if I had
to bet uh my bet would be that nuclear
will be like other things where it's
slow slow slow until it isn't so kind of
what I expect is 10 years of nothing you
know a lot of planning and talking and
Engineering followed by 20 years of oh
my god look how quickly they're building
you know these smaller nuclear
plants uh Bill Gates also said recently
nuclear is the only way toh get where we
need to go whether it's Vision or Fusion
but it's the only way I think we all
agree all right here's what I think
would be how I would create a new
city here's what I'd do I'd find a bunch
big bunch of land that's owned by the
government the federal government and
I'd wait for Trump to be president and
then I'd say hey I've identified this
big chunk of land that the government
doesn't seem to be using doesn't look
like they'll ever use it but it'd be a
great place to build a new city now
remember this is Trump's idea to build
cities from scratch using federal land
so you can really do it right here's how
I would start I would start by saying
we're going to build a nuclear power
plant or two um meaning that they're
modular so basically it's one power
plant but it might have more than one
reactor later so you get a mini reactor
that you know is sufficient to do all of
the Power for the city you plan to build
and then you say that everybody who
lives in the city gets a a part of the
profits of that so if there's extra the
town benefits by selling their extra
capacity and indeed they might actually
put a second power plant there if they
had connection to the grid of course and
then they would sell the excess capacity
so what you would do is start with a
city where the people living there had
already bought into the idea that they
would be in the general area of a
nuclear power plant but in return their
electricity would be almost free and and
it would be a business in other words
everybody who lived there would be
basically a shareholder in the electric
the electric production now why should
they be shareholders they absolutely
should be because they're taking any
risk of being near one if you're going
to tell me to live within you know two
miles of a nuclear power plant no matter
how safe it is and by the way it's
really safe now I'm still going to be
thinking about it so if you want me to
move there
maybe I needed pieace of action and I
think that could be arranged I also
think that the new city should be its
own insurance company for every element
of
insurance maybe not MediCal but all all
the physical stuff you know your car
insurance your house insurance your your
business insurance it should all be done
by the city that you live in and it
should be a co-op so that if you make
extra
money it goes back into the city so the
things that the things that the city
should do for itself are electricity
making a
profit um it should put it in its own
Wi-Fi so that nobody's really paying for
Wi-Fi it's just a city city um provided
service you should build the city so the
transportation is
practically free which could be electric
cabs that you use but you could walk
everywhere there's good you know maybe
there's good uh good master
Transit but you could pretty well start
from scratch and develop a city that
would be almost free you you've seen the
little uh uh Tesla houses that have a
Tesla battery pack but also a Tesla roof
there's zero energy you can do it that
way as well you could build it so that
every house is self-sufficient
independently so the the uh future of
building new cities is really really
good because we have all the good stuff
now the only reason we don't Implement
all the good stuff that we know how to
do is it's hard to do it in an existing
City you have to start from scratch so
new cities it's the future all right
there's a new study says you probably
have a lot of microplastics in your
penis now that would be if you a man and
you have a penis or you're a woman with
a penis so either the men or the women
with penises they might have a lot of
microplastics in it and the researchers
are saying that might lead to erectile
dysfunction they don't know but they
think the more plastic in your penis the
softer it will
be
now again I'm no medical
expert but I feel like the more plastic
in my penis the harder it would be I
mean I'm just going to keep drinking
microplastics until I've got a you know
4H hour erection that lasts 24 hours you
know what I mean this whole this whole
business of losing erection and having
to get it back again well that seems
like a lot of work why doesn't you just
go plastic stay
plastic all right don't listen to
anything I say about
health except this there's another study
that says loneliness can increase the
risk of Stroke by up to
56% well that's something that every guy
who likes porn already knows am I
right am I right if you're a lonely
die the risk of stroking is 50 56%
higher than if you're
married yeah yeah okay that's all I have
to say about that um scientists have
discovered the worst thing that
scientists could ever have discovered a
gene that causes some people to gain
more weight from exactly the same food
as other people that don't gain weight
from it oh we are so
dead that's all we needed was an excuse
for being
overweight yeah I can't think of a worse
thing that that science could have done
to us than telling us you know some of
you have a magic Gene that would be very
difficult for you to know for sure if
you had it because you're probably not
going to go test for it but for now on
every time you've got a few extra pounds
you can say I should wish I had the
genes you have but I've got this damn
obesity Gene that just can we gain
weight from the same amount of food
you're
eating so and it's up to a 5 or 10 pound
difference they say just having this
gene or not now I don't
know um if that Gene is what makes you
lose gain the weight my my
hypothesis and you know I'm always 30
years ahead of Medical Science so
they'll catch up eventually is that some
people like eating more than other
people now I've told you this
observation before and I've noticed it
when when I had lots of uh kids with
their friends in the
house and if I got a pizza and said hey
there's Pizza everybody you know and
people are let's say kids are doing the
sleepover or something they're just all
doing their own things and running
around they would arrive for the pizza
in the same order as their
weight the heaviest people would be
right there and the people who were
maybe even underweight just wouldn't
even eat one or or they' get it later
much later but it wouldn't they wouldn't
care they wouldn't have any hunger at
all now I don't know if the hunger is
caused by not eating a lot of sugar
because you know carbs and sugar can
make you hungrier so it could be that
not eating makes you want to not eat
that could be it but it seemed to me
that people had wildly different
preferences for
eating and that's got to explain almost
everything because you know as much as I
like to say I do all the things you know
I eat right and exercise and stuff like
that really it's because I don't like
eating that
much if I like the eating as much as
some people apparently like eating you
know the Foodies and the people who are
just having an orgasm with every sip of
wine I don't have that at
all I never have that you know I mean
there's some things that taste better
than others but I'm not really you know
driven by an addiction to food if I were
I'd be happier so I don't believe in
Free Will that's what I'm
saying I saw some uh more Instagram
personal relationship advice as I've
told you all relationship advice that
you will see on social media has the
following
quality uh you have to do these
things also those things couldn't
possibly work so in other words nobody
really has any idea how to make a
relationship work literally there there
is nobody period who has any advice on
relationships that even on paper could
work you just look at it and you go well
like do you not understand how people
work that couldn't work in the real
world let me give you an example there
was a little clip of a young woman who
was explaining that she had figured out
what men want and it's so easy she says
all men want is basically food sex
respect and
peace men would you agree with that the
the men who are also in that clip were
shaking their heads oh yeah she got it
you got that's all we need we want some
food sex respect and peace and we're
perfectly
happy so so I guess we've unlocked the
secret to
relationships so there it is uh women
have finally figured out men and once
the word gets around then women will
start treating men with respect give
them peace food and Sex On
Demand um do you see any problem with
that
worldview uh
um have you ever met a woman have any of
you ever met a woman because I feel like
a lot of this advice comes from people
who couldn't have possibly ever met a
woman you know that if a woman gave you
all of these
things she would hate your
guts it doesn't go any other way you
might get those things but she would
hate you you get that right so if you so
if you give a woman if if a woman feels
like she's just like doing this for a
man she's going to think I'm doing a lot
of work for this man and there's this
guy at
work who doesn't seem to be so
demanding he's so handsome and he's
always flirting with
me none of this works I'm pretty sure
nobody's figured it out but the the
experts on Instagram are continuously
hilarious it if if simply no knowing
what you should do
worked I think more people would be
doing it but women don't want to do
these things that's why it doesn't
happen it's not because they don't
understand it do you think the problem
was
knowledge have you ever met a woman oh
it's not knowing it has nothing to do
with knowing what the man wants they
always know what we want they always
know what we want they just choose not
to give it for a variety of different
reasons
I can't
explain uh NASA canell a space walk
because one of the uh space suits was
leaking
water well I'm no astronaut but I can
tell you if I ever put on a space suit
um in space and I was about to go
outside my capsule uh I'm pretty sure my
space suit would be leaking water too if
you know what I
mean yeah that's all I had for that um
so Congress is uh contemplating for the
first time ever separating alcohol from
their food diet
recommendations well if you can't if you
can't trust the government with your
food recommendations who can you trust
uh speaking of which Jordan Peterson
recently said uh on a interview I have
never recovered from finding out that
the food pyramid is a scam is there a
worst medical crime in history
I agree with that the the food
pyramid lies that we were all told might
be the biggest crime in American history
you know you could say Co is up there
now you could say you know all of our
bad things happening in our politics up
there but I don't know that anything had
more direct impact than lying about what
food is healthy that's that's about as
bad as anybody's ever been in the
history of
humankind so I agree with Jordan
Peterson and it def I could say that
that one thing um changed me forever now
so when Jordan said I've never recovered
from it oh I feel that I have never
recovered from the fact that the
government lied to me that much I mean
that's a big one we're going to lie to
you to tell you to do something that
will kill you slowly and we know
it
I mean I assume some of them knew
it but uh apparently the discussion is
that uh it used to be that people
thought well a couple drinks a week
isn't going to hurt you but now they're
thinking maybe a couple of drinks per
week might Hur you or at least you're
not going to be worse off if you don't
have them I was listening to Andrew Hub
and as asked the same answer the same
question uh are you going to be do you
really have to go to zero drinking and
he didn't want to be you know the
moralist who told you what you should or
should not do with your life so he was
clear that he wasn't
recommending but he didn't think that
two drinks a week was going to kill you
but you'd probably not be any healthier
because of it which is a good way to say
it I think I think he chose his words
carefully there there's no evidence that
that moderate drinking makes you
healthier remember they used to say it
did so that's a big step because people
believe huberman and he's saying as
clearly as possible possible no drinking
a little bit isn't going to make you
healthier even if they used to tell you
that all the time it's like the food
pyramid it was an obvious lie that's G
on for decades it was just obviously a
lie I've been telling you forever it was
obviously a
lie now I doubt that so the smart thing
that they've done is they've treated
alcohol like it's not food thank you
what are they treated like poison what
did Andrew huberman uh in his new video
on this what did he frame alcohol as
poison he actually said alcohol is a
form of
poison there you go alcohol is poison
gets
around
um so I guess the Supreme Court is uh
delaying into July some of its big
decisions cowards you cowards I don't
know why they're delaying it maybe it's
just more work than usual but some the
big stuff we'll still have to wait for
meanwhile the big story today is Julian
nange is
free um you can understand why PE the
CIA wanted to kill him and Mike Pence
still thinks he should be in jail
and um I think there's this report that
Hillary wanted to end
him he once said in public the goal is
to have endless Wars not a successful
War sort of famous for saying that so
uh he's he did a plea deal I guess he's
got some health issues that may have
played into his willingness to do a plea
deal but he he'll end up back in
Australia and he'll be free in Australia
after the plea deal is
completed now this raises many
questions number one did he give out any
secret information in return for this
leniency is that what happened is there
more to this deal than the public knows
for example maybe they just needed maybe
the bad guys just needed to know who his
Source was maybe he gave it up maybe the
source died and so he felt he could give
it up so we don't know what's happening
right I doubt he would just give up a
source because he went to jail for a
long time to not do stuff like that so
I'm gonna I'm going to go with probably
Assange did not make a deal that you
wouldn't be happy with probably not
don't know for
sure um but the other idea is that the
only reason it's happening now is to
take it off the table before the
election because Trump was definitely
going to Pardon him or or whatever the
term is
and uh that would have given the
Libertarians a strong reason to vote for
Trump if they had been on the fence so
this takes away that strong reason they
still have Ross Al and they may feel the
same about him so so if he gets pardoned
before the
election then it's just
political yeah that would be a little
bit on the
nose uh the other the other thing I
worry about is that it's really a plan
to kill him because once he's a Freer
range chicken it's going to be a lot
easier to get to him and arrange an
accident so I'm super
concerned that an accident will happen
to him in the next 18 months that seems
kind of
dangerous
um but um he's already flown out uh I
think they put him on a Boeing flight oh
God no I'm just making that up it wasn't
a Boeing uh but it would be funny if it
were and I guess he had to spend half a
million dollars just for the private
flight because there was some reason he
couldn't take a commercial flight I
don't had to go to some weird Island for
reasons that are too boring to talk
about uh anyway so uh on the lawfare of
trump you've got uh judge
Canon
and
um so she's doing a bunch of rulings and
the Democrats are mad because she's
taking too long and she seems to be very
deliberate and she's ruling both for and
against the Trump defense so I think the
Democrats
just they're just not happy when things
are going the way they're supposed to go
they just want Trump punished and they
don't care anything about the law I
think is the bottom line
um
but
um anyway I don't care about the details
of
that um if you were to ask your uh
Amazon uh digital device whose name I
won't say because it will trigger all
your devices at home uh if you ask it
who is the most powerful doctor in the
world it says Bill Gates
that's right it says Bill Gates is the
most powerful doctor in the world or
influential now the interesting thing
about that is I assume that's an AI
driven response is it
wrong now Bill Gates does not have a
medical
license but does he do more medical
stuff than any other medical
person and I think the answer is
yes and I think he personally has to say
let's do this or it doesn't get done cuz
you know it's his money so this is not a
wrong
answer he doesn't have a doctor's
license to practice but he is in fact
the most consequential doctor in the
United States if not the world because
he has so much influence on you know
vaccinations and malaria and you know by
the way there's a lot of stuff that you
would agree with right eradicating
malaria and stuff like that you probably
wouldn't have problem with that uh so
good and bad this is actually
true that this you know it was sort of
reported as that's a crazy answer it's
not it's actually the exact right answer
in my opinion I think the AI nailed it
this time so that's fun to watch when
the AI gets it right when you don't
expect them
to so I was watching another Trump
campaign uh video and I I tell you I
keep telling you this but the skill that
the Trump campaign has this time is way
higher than what we've seen before the
you know I won't show it to you because
you can imagine it but it's got all this
strong imagery you know Trump looking
like a boss he likes to show his plane
taking off and Landing because that's
like a strong exciting thing watching
the plane um it shows them uh attending
the UFC and getting a big hand that's a
strong thing you know bunch of men who
fight cheering for him that shows
strength um and then of course you know
there's the soaring Pros about but uh
this time they were playing hip-hop
music so the music on top of the
video was uh hip-hop is that the first
time because it seems to me that Trump
had a bad habit of playing the whitest
music in the world at his rallies and on
his you know also on his uh campaign
stuff but if he's moved to uh A hip-hop
Vibe
smart because the music is good you know
it's got a a great feel to it wasn't
anything I was familiar with but you
when you hear it you go oh that's that
fits that commercial it's a strong beat
and everything so yes everything that
the Trump campaign is doing it's so on
point it's so on point that you don't
think about it if you look at any Joe
Biden campaign
ad you no matter what your politics are
if you were just being objective about
it they're they all look like they were
done by high school projects honestly
like literally they look like they were
done by high school projects but the
Trump stuff looks like the best things
you've ever seen in that domain I I
can't I can't keep ignoring that I mean
it's a big big difference in just talent
in the
campaign anyway uh Byron York was
reporting on xow Trump describes how the
debate happened in the first place now
this is similar to what I thought so
Trump's on the same page uh I'll
summarize it which is that once Trump
said that he would debate Biden anywhere
and in any way then Biden sprung the
Trap of creating the situation that
Trump would least like to want least
like to want to debate him which is see
it n CNN hosts who've been calling him
Hitler
forever um sitting down no audience
microphones turned off basically
everything he agreed to are all the
things that are good for Biden and bad
for him now he thinks that maybe the
trick was to get him to reject the
debate and I agree with that I think
they were trying to get a situ create a
situation in which he would say I'm not
going to debate because that would have
been really bad bad mistake I I've seen
some social media opinions say he
shouldn't debate because it's you know
too biased against him I disagree with
that
completely I disagree
completely and it's because the Andre
Agy tennis strategy I keep explaining he
needs to go destroy their strongest Fort
not their weak ones nobody's going to be
impressed if he tears apart you know
some weak pundit on a weak platform
he know he needs to go into the belly of
the Beast and then he just needs to own
it so the fact that it's the worst setup
that could possibly be for him is the
best setup for
him because if he can't if he can't
accomplish this go into an unfriendly
territory and Conquer
it maybe he's not the president you need
honestly if he can't go into this
situation and dominate it and you know
he can but if he doesn't well we're
going to have some questions aren't we
we'd have some real questions you know
did some change you know what why are
you not performing the way we expected
you to so I think that Trump going into
the worst situation for Trump is the
best situation for Trump because I'm
very confident that he'll do well um and
we've seen him talk about his advisers
who saying you know whether he should go
hard at Biden or whether he should you
know maybe try to be a normal
person so you know that he's had lots of
time to think about the approach I think
he's already signaling that he's going
to play a cool and just let Biden talk
he didn't say it and Anything could
happen but he seems to be signaling that
he is at least agreeable that that's not
a dumb idea you know he he's very much
considering the play as here's what I
think I think that uh Biden's entire
attack is going to be this Trump guy is
crazy and chaotic all Trump has to do is
not be crazy and
chaotic that's it it it'll looks stupid
when Biden's accusing him of
chaos when Trump is just calmly
explaining how he's the one who who
brought you know border security and you
know um a good economy and that the real
chaos is the inflation in the open
border and two Wars now he can say that
just calmly and just completely
dismantle uh Biden
but here's the
risk it's never super safe to tell Trump
to not act like
Trump because we don't know how much
practice he has acting like somebody
else he's got a lifetime of acting like
himself he knows how to do
that but is he going to play a different
character
just because it would help him win he
can but who
knows all right
um did you know that one of the co-hosts
so Jake Tapper will be hosting the
debate with Dana Bash his cooworker did
you know that Dana Bash according to the
amuse account which you should all be
following amuse on the X platform uh
great stuff by the way that I don't see
I don't see in other places so amuse has
some game um that Dana bash's ex-husband
is one of the PE 51 people who signed
the letter that said the laptop was
Russian
disinformation
so yeah when when we talk about uh the
the host being biased you got Jake
Tapper who's been calling Trump
basically some form of Hitler forever
and you got basu's
ex-husband signed the laptop letter now
of course it's an ex-husband and it's a
different person right it's not Dana
Bash it's her husband
ex-husband but it seems unlikely that
they're on super different pages on this
question and I'd love to know if Dana
Bash reported the laptop as Russian in
disinformation I'm guessing yes without
looking into it
all right so as you know the uh
Snopes um I guess in June they made the
change but we just noticed it recently
that uh they made the change to say that
the fine people hoax was indeed a hoax
and that the president never called the
racist fine people and in fact he said
directly the opposite now as you know
that was the centerpiece of Biden's
entire campaign and he's still saying it
so you might say to yourself my God this
is the biggest story in the whole
country I mean what is bigger than that
the entire country is torn apart by
Charlottesville and then the you know
the boosting of it as a message that the
president had called actual racists you
know marching racists find people now of
course it didn't happen
but so you may have noticed that it was
trending on X and it was uh it was
basically in every news
outlet and every pundit and every
independent person mentioned it in a big
way you all notice that right every
person you follow on X if you're on X
everyone talked about it do you know
what's
missing every group that you don't
follow didn't talk about it in other
words if you're Republican leaning and
you following a bunch of Republican news
sites and
commenters they all all talked about it
100% everyone from Fox News to Breitbart
to you know your Independence you Colin
rug uh everybody basically everybody now
have you heard a grounded
news it's it's a they're a group who
likes to show you where there are blind
spots in the news so ground news you can
see them it's an app and it's also a
website
um showed me and then I posted
it that there was uh nearly 100%
coverage of the conservative news
landscape and zero on the left leaning
news
zero actually
zero
none not a single
one now if you were doing a little dance
and saying finally you know we broke we
broke the hoax no we didn't
no we did not no there were no hoaxes
that were debunked the people who knew
it was a hoax got more information for
what they already knew that's you know
Snopes confirmed it but there's not a
single person on the left who is aware
that it's a hoax and they have no way to
find out because they're sure as hell
not going to turn on Fox News and if
they do they're sure as hell not going
to believe anything they say so
amazingly
the biggest story in the country by far
this is the big is way bigger than
Assange it's bigger than inflation it's
bigger than everything that the current
president ran on a known hoax and
divided the country to do it and is
still claiming the hoax to be true and
the entire corporate media except the
right-leaning
media is backing him still still that's
the biggest story in the country it's
completely invisible to half the
country so in my opinion um we are not a
republic and we're not a democracy but
we're not a dictatorship per se we're a
hoax
cracy our entire system is hoaxes are
floated by the Democrats their media
puppets repeat the
hoaxes
and and that becomes our
reality and then the the politicians
sort of have to Follow The hoax and the
voters end up following the hoax when
they vote so we don't have a republic we
have a hoax ocracy and that's not an
exaggeration this is the important point
I I mean
literally the the
fundamental operating system of the
United States is
hoaxes we we just have to deal with that
I think we need to just wake up our
system is one hoax after
another that informs all of our
actions so the things we teach our kids
the way we vote the way the schools are
organized the way we write our
history it's all fake I don't know how
long that's been the case probably all
of my life but once you realize that
you're living within a
hoax it's not a
republic it's not a democracy it's not
even close we're we're not even in the
same
like planetary planetary orbit
as any of those things we are purely a
hoax based system and maybe always have
been I don't know I don't know how long
it's been but clearly at this point
we're just a
hoax speaking of which George Soros is
already spent $400 million trying to buy
the second biggest radio network so he's
working the FCC which has a lot of
Democrats in it and trying to get
approval for it now why in the world
would we be
okay with George Soros owning the second
biggest radio
network clearly he's
buying he he's buying protection for the
hocy what else could it
be he he wants to make sure that there's
nobody who can tell you the truth that's
the whole point do you think that do you
think that George Soros decided that
radio was the good investment of course
not are you kidding me no radio
is not an
investment no you do it for control so
people don't find out what you're really
up to there's no other reason why do you
think a basos owns the Washington Post
because he really likes the dying
newspaper
industry
no now in his case he might have some
pressure from some intelligence sources
but clearly
none of this is about news it is about
maintaining
hoaxes all right it's the the network
that Soros is trying to buy reaches 165
million monthly
listeners 165
million yeah you know if it weren't for
rer
Murdoch who as you know is now from this
country there wouldn't be any competing
news
imagine if Fox News didn't
exist and by the way it's not my job to
say they get everything right because
they don't they don't get everything
right but if you didn't have the
competing
version you would really really be
confused about the world you live in
imagine if all the news was just the
hoaxy stuff that's the way it was before
Fox News it was only the Hox
hoces all right
let me give you another example of that
uh now we have 16 Nobel economists that
have uh Gone public with some kind of
letter saying that uh Trump is a real
risk to inflation and that a trump
presidency would be an inflation bomb
let's see they're economists that sounds
good they're Nobel prizewinning
economists oh my God that sounds
credible and oh there's 16 of them oh oh
my God there's 16 of them I mean they
can't be wrong could they could they be
wrong I mean there's 16 of them and
they're the the very best these are the
these are the Nobel Economist for God's
sakes unfortunately you should see this
more like the 51 Intel people who signed
the laptop no it's not their real
opinion and if it is it's from cognitive
dissonance no you shouldn't listen to
them as experts no they don't have a
good argument yes if you have even a
little bit of understanding economics
you know this is complete as
everyone does who took you know one
economics course
and I if you need some more uh
explaining of why the Nobel
economists do not have let's say a lock
on what's
true let me just ask you this question
why do we have
inflation if all these econom IST know
how to avoid
it and they seem to be willing to advise
us and they're all on the same
page where were they
before were were these same economists
telling us that hey the things you're
doing right now are going to cause
massive
inflation did they because if they did
well I might actually listen to them wow
they got it right that time maybe they
get it right
again but we live in a world where I
guarantee you remember I have a degree
in economics and I can tell you for
sure there are no economists who
understand
inflation now that sounds like a big
claim because it seems obvious print
more money you got inflation if it were
that
easy everybody would have the same uh
pre
prediction if you just sort of look at
it go huh well I've sort of skimmed this
topic
and uh looks to me like Trump's going to
drive that inflation through the roof
now what would be the
argument for why Trump would cause more
inflation what do you think the argument
sounds
like well here we go
um the the reason that he's doing it is
because
um
um I don't think they had a reason
reason but one of them was oh here's one
of the
reasons uh that the Trump presidency
could take inflation to new
heights uh because a January 6 style
attack on Democratic institutions could
undermine global economic stability I
think that was an
axios so so let's see if you can follow
this so the January 6
hoax was that Trump was trying to
overthrow the country but all of you
know that was a hoax so the reason that
Trump would cause
inflation is that the people who made up
this hoax say that he might do more of
the things that he's never
done and then people would think there's
chaos and then that would through a a
process called
Magic would cause your prices to go
up there's your 16 Nobel Economist right
there
no it's complete
it's absolute complete 51
people say the laptop is Russian
disinformation Russia collusion find
people hoax drinking bleach
and it's
organized again have you seen the
pattern that when when Republicans are
wrong about something it's because they
were just wrong now they're wrong about
a lot in my opinion but it's always just
comes from some source that wasn't good
enough and you know they bought into it
and it got boosted and you know it fits
some narrative so they wanted to believe
it
so Republicans are like Freer range
um Freer range truth Believers you know
they're they're all over the place but
the but every time you see one of these
big lies coming from Democrats they're
organized some somebody got 16 Nobel
economists to say something that's kind
of obviously
stupid somebody got 51 Intel people to
sign a thing that they clearly didn't
believe was true unless they're that
dumb but I don't think so the Russia
collusion hoax gigantic multi-entity
uh hoax that involves all kinds of
groups and
entities
organized the fine people hoax organized
it's an org organized because the media
is obviously just backing up their their
masters it's all organized do you think
the fact that there are no left leaning
um entities covering it is completely an
accident I doubt it even Carville was
talking about how uh he wants Biden to
say some things that give all the
Democrats their marching orders so they
know what to say and
do it's very it's we well
understood that uh the direction is some
bull is created at the top and
then everybody has to lie about the same
and that's their model now how
does it work on the other
side let me explain how it works on the
other side I already told you a story
exactly how it
works Trump went into an interview this
is a story I just told you and he said
some people are saying I should you know
calm down when I do the debate some
people are saying I should do this when
he's choosing the vice president he
talks about you know some people are
saying I should pick this person some
people think I'll pick this person Trump
is receiving wisdom from the audience
not always right you know maybe maybe
the audience gets it wrong but Trump is
a receptacle of what is true and
sometimes what isn't but it's coming
from the bottom up and he is just
focusing that energy and then he
converts it into
government he is a true
populist he literally cares deeply based
son action I'm not reading his mind his
his actions suggest he cares a lot about
the what the base wants and then he
tries to give it to him that is not
happening on the left on the left
there's some kind of weird brainwashing
gaslighting hooc that's being hatched
every minute in every category and then
the the Sheep are told what to say and
do very
different and what do the Democrats
describe this system asum Trump is
stealing your
democracy that's what they describe that
as and obviously it's
projection all
right
um so la um is having a problem with
homeless camps you know the homeless are
creating a lot of camps on the sidewalk
but thank God I saw a report by end
wokeness which is one word it's the
account on X you should really follow
that one too so two accounts they should
just absolutely take my word for it just
don't fight right if you're on X just do
this please just follow these guys it's
one is uh end wokeness one word and the
other is
amuse spelled the way you think just
follow them it's like it's like what
what you would see if the news were
real that's what it is it's the stuff
you'd see if the news were real it's
really good stuff anyway um so and
wokness reports that finally La is doing
something about all the homeless
camps checking out the details what
they're doing about all the homeless
camps um oh okay they're removing the
barriers that businesses put up that
were trying to end the homeless camps
okay so this is the wrong direction
they're trying to figure out how to stop
businesses from making it difficult to
camp in front of their
store that's really
happening do you think this story will
be uh in the left leaning press a lot I
don't know it probably wasn't as a it
probably was in the left leaning press
as a good
thing all right well the press speaking
of the press says that uh Trump's VP
picks are down to three bergam Vance and
Rubio then this morning there was a vake
rumor but I don't think there substance
to it um I'm not so
sure that it's narrowed down to these
three bergam Vance and Rubio not so
sure um if it were these
three I would say beram is
boring Vance might be too useful in
Congress and by the
way he he's the whitest looking person
in the history of the United States and
I do worry that that will just cause the
other people to have one more reason to
get worked
up now there's no like I like his views
so he's he's very strong and
communication his communication skills
are through the roof he looks great you
know he's handsome he's young uh uh he's
aggressive uh he's got balls it's like
everything you want but uh he's also
great in where he is so some of the the
calculation is who do you want to move
out of a place that they're already
great uh Rubios some people say you
might be a little too connected to I
don't know the Deep state or something
so people yeah Rubio is too swampy
people are saying in the comments right
now so here's what I
think it's not any of those
three so I'm gonna um let me say two
things first uh I have famously written
and I'm republishing wi big in the next
month or so it's little updated
um so I famously said that nobody can
guess the vice president and that that's
the worst thing that I can guess so it's
the vice president pick is totally based
on things that are happening behind the
curtain that you and I don't know about
so our ability to guess who we pick is
close to zero I mean I didn't see Mike
Pence on anybody's list so I'm going to
I'm going to I'm going to take the
following prediction that it won't be
one of those three and it won't be
V now V because he's too strong the same
with with Vance they're both too strong
um
Rubio's I wouldn't say Rubio is too
strong he's a great communicator seems
to be a solid Senator but uh you know
he's got that people have the suspicion
he's a he's swampy I I don't know that
that's true I don't personally have any
uh visibility into that but I'm going to
say just based on past pattern that we
don't know who it is and it's not going
to be one of the obvious ones I think
that Trump's got a surprise coming so
now
remember I will ask you not to include
this with my
prediction prediction list if you're
looking what I got right and got wrong
I'm probably
wrong this would be the least confident
prediction I'll ever make nobody's good
on guessing vice
presidents nobody's good at it and I'm
definitely not good at it it's it's all
based on stuff we couldn't possibly
know all right um here's an interesting
question if you like to play Supreme
Court judge or
Justice um so there's a question in the
uh case where Jack Smith is going after
the maral Lago documents that's Judge
Canon is presiding over that and uh I
think she said this quote talking about
the budget there's some question about
what is Jack Smith's budget for going
after
Trump and I think the answer is there's
no budget meaning there's no cap meaning
it's unlimited
budget now what does that tell
you if you heard that the government as
a person with an unlim limited budget to
prosecute one person no matter who that
person is would you say to yourself H
that sounds like justice will be done
because they got a big budget to do it
or would it sound more like clearly
targeting somebody because we never say
the budget is
unlimited why would this be the one time
the budget is
unlimited the only reason I can think of
is that the only thing that matters is
getting Trump which would suggest it's
political now I wouldn't have seen that
I I have to say that's sort of an
interesting interpretation but
apparently judge Canon said quote when
it's limitless meaning the budget I
think there is a separation of powers
concern which is the good judge way to
put it a concern about separation of
powers yes it would look like the
executive branch giving an unlimited
budget to go after their uh opponent
would look exactly like
that by the way are you aware that
um when the documents were found we now
have confirmation that the cover the
cover sheets that were photographed with
those Maro documents it's now confirmed
that those were not part of the
documents that the FBI added those into
the photos now they said they were just
placeholders and stuff and blah blah
blah we don't know how they got in the
photos but it looked like they
intentionally took in cover sheets that
would make things look very
confidential to mix it in with the stuff
that maybe wasn't so confidential so it
would look like it was more of a scandal
than it was now maybe yeah maybe there's
some innocent reason for it it doesn't
look like it it looks like exactly what
it looks like but here's the more
important point the thing we also know
that nobody's arguing is that the FBI
asked marago to turn off the security
cameras for what they said was the
safety of the
agents what
exactly would make the agents less
safe if there was a video camera is it
because we'd learn their
identities is that
why uh because that doesn't seem to be
the problem with other law
enforcement yeah I I believe that the
police wear body cams fairly routinely
and I'm pretty sure that most crimes the
way we figure them out is because
somebody had a security camera on so why
would this be the one time and by the
way is that common so I would ask you
this question does the FBI ask other
entities to turn off the security
cameras too now if I found out it was
standard procedure I'd say well that's a
maybe a bad procedure but at least I'd
understand why it happened in maral Lago
if it's not the standard procedure in uh
calling Dan
banino uh Dan banino I need a I need a
ruling uh is it standard procedure to
ask for the security cameras to be
turned off after a site has been
completely controlled before they even
entered so in other words they
negotiated with a secret service that
had security control of the the whole
building and since they're on the same
side you know they're working for the
government they're not trying to break
any
laws they should have known that there
was no danger to the people because what
would it be other than identities but
that seems common to most law
enforcement so I would uh I would uh
propose this if you put me on a jury I
don't think there'll be a jury trial but
if you put me in a
jury and the defense said I want to tell
you one thing
they asked for the security cameras to
be turned off before they went
in I rest my
case I would have my decision then I
wouldn't even listen to the rest of the
evidence be blah blah blah evidence blah
blah blah I'd say I don't care if you
turned off your if you told them to turn
off the security cameras before you
entered innocent innocent that's that's
what I call Reasonable Doubt reasonable
doubt is you're not so sure that this
evidence came to you in the right
way I would say I don't even care what
the evidence was if you tell me that
they had to turn the cameras
off
sorry that I don't know what judge would
be up enough to allow that to go
forward there's there's nothing else
that I even cared about when I you know
as I was watching this I was like well
evidence evidence you know defense
prosecution kind of a normal back and
forth but that doesn't look normal to me
if the FBI came to my house and told me
to turn off my video
cameras I would think they're going to
kill
me and I would have to consider actually
violence in
return I I wouldn't do it I don't think
but I would consider it because I
wouldn't consider it within the legal
process it would look like an extra
legal thing which would be the scariest
thing in the world with people with guns
come and tell you they're not going to
follow the
law right we have guns and we want you
to turn off the camera I'm sorry you
can't do
both we have guns turn off your
cameras that's that just has to
be that has to be a 100% standard that
whatever you do after that doesn't count
any evidence you get after that throw it
out I'd love to see that go to the
Supreme Court that if the people who
come in with guns tell you to turn off
your cameras that that should be the end
of the case dismissed I don't even care
what was in those boxes by the way you
remember when it that uh first broke and
all the the fake news H The hoax suracy
was telling you there were nuclear
secrets now they've looked at all the
contents do you think they would tell
you if there was something dangerous in
there of course they wouldn't tell you
the details if it were actually
something dangerous but they would say
at least something like this there was
something that gave away sources and
methods I mean that would be kind of
specific and I wouldn't need to know the
details I'd say o if it's true it's bad
or they'd say they're plans for an
attack on a nuclear
facility I would say oh I'm not so sure
that's true given all the other things
we've seen But if it's true yeah that's
bad that's bad but why haven't you heard
that you haven't even heard the general
domain in which some of this information
would be a
problem why I if it's totally to their
advantage to tell you that there were in
fact really important secrets in those
marlago boxes you don't think they'd at
least give you the Adam shift treatment
well I can't tell you what we saw but
let me tell you I looked at it myself
and there's stuff about nuclear things
that you wouldn't want anybody to see
but I did whoa I hope nobody else sees
these big
secretes of course there's nothing
important in there you would know about
that by now do you think the hoaxy has
modified their statements from there
might be nuclear secrets we're pretty
sure there are to well honestly we
haven't really heard anything bad in
those boxes
well two courts Kansas and Missouri
obviously conservative States um there
were Court rulings to block temporarily
at least the student loan relief that
Biden was touting now some of it's going
to go forward that's already been uh I
guess grandfathered in
but um and this isn't a permanent stop
it's just a stay until they figure out
what's what's what but I'm glad to see
that the Republicans are fighting back
over in Israel there's a movement to uh
to start drafting the ultra Orthodox uh
Jewish members because they're exempt
the only ones who are exempt from the
Israel military and I think there's
thinking that if
everybody shared in the the pain and the
sacrifice that Israel would be making
better decisions in other words it's
easy to send somebody else store but if
it's your kids or it's you
maybe you think about it twice so I
don't really have an opinion of how how
Israel runs their country let me be
clear about that Israel is your country
and if I had an opinion you should
ignore it it's your
country I'd love you to do the same with
my country I love you to leave us alone
and you know just let us do our thing
and you we can be allies and all that
but no I'm not going to tell Israel I
don't even have an opinion whether they
should extend the draft to this group
but is a it's not a big group it's the
people who study all
day right it so basically it's not
people who are just going to the regular
job or anything it's people who just
have chosen life of study so is kind of
a small
group I guess a top US general just said
that the US might not be in a position
or willing to help if Israel goes into
full BL war with
Hezbollah
well how do you interpret
that do you believe that the United
States thinks that it would be
politically unwise and maybe
security-wise we would get more
terrorism if we
helped do you think they're trying to
stop Israel from going
alone or do you think they're just
playing good cop because Israel is
playing bad cop and that works for both
of us I don't know I don't know it looks
a little bit like bad cop but let me
tell you what I'm most concerned
about the thing I worry about the most
is that the United States is not ready
to fight any kind of a war whether it's
Russia
Ukraine or even
Hezbollah I'm not sure we have the
resources that we would like the world
to believe we have I've got a feeling
that all of the militaries of the world
are way weaker than they think you know
maybe in some ways stronger but but uh
I've Got a Feeling our military has a
Dei problem that's just massive and that
the capability of our military is so low
and we've given so many of our weapons
to
Ukraine we might think that all it would
take is a Hezbollah conflict and we'
just have nothing
left now obviously it only makes a
difference if some critical things get
used up you know we still have stuff but
there you know not everything is
critical but could we be at a point
already of military failure where where
a heesa conflict would just take
everything we got and then and then we
would look like a paper tiger that's
what I worry
about anyway uh in a related comment uh
Jen uh
weager he said uh this he said we had
this giant investigation into whether
Russia was affecting our elections but
there's no investigation of how Israel
is brazenly controlling our politicians
through APAC that's their lobbying group
uh actually it's a lobbying group of
Americans who are
pro-israel uh American Media is a joke
this hypocrisy is so startling yet never
mentioned in the
Press
um first of all I love
Jen because while I I disagree with them
more than I agree I kind of love you
know the the things he brings up you
know he just looks at things through
maybe a little different window
sometimes than other people so I love
what he does while disagreeing with most
of his opinions if that's okay I mean I
think he's just adding something I feel
like he's additive even when I disagree
with him so and I know you disagree with
that but here's my push back on
that the uh the Russia collusion
thing was something we didn't know in
other words it had to be investigated
because we didn't know it was true
that's the opposite of what's happening
with APAC and Israel with APAC it's 100%
legal and it's 100%
transparent and it's a top
headline nobody's hiding anything it's a
bunch of people who care about America
and also Israel who
are quite effectively controlling I I'm
going to say controlling I think that's
fair to say the uh American policy about
Israel now I don't like that yeah let me
say as clearly as possible I don't like
that but there are a lot of things I
don't like that come to me through a a
credible
system in other words America has
laws you know if we want to change our
laws we can I mean it's not impossible
and everything is above board it's all
legal we all know it we can watch it in
real time and we see the
control I I I just can't get as mad
about something that's legal and
transparent as I can about something
that was literally a plot the Russia
collusion thing that's literally a plot
different yeah you could hate both of
them but I just say they shouldn't be
analyzed as similars they're not
similars
all right that ladies and gentlemen
completes my amazing tour of the news
today um as I said if all goes well I'm
waiting for a confirmation but I'm
hoping to talk to Michael Ian Black uh
well-known uh author actor comedian
podcaster um because he's got some
different opinions on things and uh
it'll be a live stream if we connect I'm
just waiting for a confirmation today it
will be at 2 pm eastern time it'll be
recorded as well so you can catch it
anytime you want but it'll be uh live
and we're going to talk about the
mechanism of how you know something's
real given that our news is not terribly
reliable and rather than arguing about
you know Trump bad Trump good we we'll
talk about how you know what's true and
if that works out it could be could be
really interesting that's why I'm doing
it all right so it'll be broadcast on
the the same platforms so if you're
watching me now it's the same way you'll
be watching me if if this comes together
all right um thanks for that I'm going
to say bye now to uh YouTube Rumble and
X thanks for joining I'm going to talk
to my beloved local subscribers a little
privately here and thanks for being part
of this
experience see you tomorrow
oh that's not
working I I hate it when I go through
that whole thing and then uh the
interface just doesn't work try it
again nope the interface is not working
so let's
say what will I do I'm going to close it
and reopen it but we're we're done with
I think closing reopening might help so
I'm going I might disappear for a
minute
