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
