View segment →It looks like the Golden Age is off to a good start if you're looking at the stock market. But let's look at your comments.
Speaking of Kari Lake, they're trying to figure out — so here's the interesting thing that's happening in Arizona with the Kari Lake situation. The accusation from Liz Harrington is, quote, "You know why it's taking so long? They're trying to figure out how to keep her below Trump but higher than Lake." Oh man, I hate how true that sounds. But maybe we'll find out what's true and what's not.
But first we're going to watch this. That's weird. I do not see my own show today on Locals. Come on, Locals. Huh. Well that puts a little crimp in my game because normally I look at my comments separately on here. Huh. Guess that's not going to happen. All right, well I tried.
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and I guarantee there's never been a better time in your whole life. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that you can't even understand with your tiny human brain, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, a canteen, a sugar flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.
Happens now. Ah, so good.
All right, going to try one more time just to make sure that the Locals comments are up and running. Why it's not showing up on my phone is weird. I don't know how you're watching me if I'm on Locals and I can't see myself. How's that possible? Must be some kind of update.
Okay, seriously this isn't possible. My own post, looking at the top, looking at the newest one. I'm currently live. Eight hundred people are watching and I'm the only person who can't see my own show. Is this really happening to me? Like I want to show it to you to make sure that you can say that I'm the only person who can't see my own show because there are eight hundred of you that are watching it on Locals right now and I'm on Locals. It's not there or it's not where it's supposed to be. So, oh my God, how could this be? There we go. It's just way out of place where it should have been. There it was. We're all good now.
Well if you didn't hear about this, Intel took away the coffee privileges for its employees because the company wasn't doing so well. So they said no more free coffee and snacks. But apparently that didn't go over well. So Business Insider says they're bringing back free coffee. That's right. Intel is bringing back free coffee to the employees. And do you know what I say about that? Dad joke alert. A dad joke will be delivered momentarily. If you don't like dad jokes, cover your ear holes. But for the rest of you, get ready for this. That's right. Coffee is good when the chips are down.
All right. I would like to tell you a little story that makes me feel good. So this morning I do a pre-show before I do the show that you're watching now, just for the subscribers on the Locals platform. And one of them told me this morning that he saved a life with Narcan. So there was a public transportation situation. Somebody, an addict, some fentanyl addict, passed out, was on the verge of dying. And someone who claims he learned about Narcan and what that's all about from my podcasts — and so someone that I told about Narcan was in a situation where somebody was about to die, called out to find if anybody had some Narcan. And somebody did. Somebody was carrying. So it was a public situation and somebody was carrying Narcan and they came up with it and the individual administered it and actually felt the heart come back on. Saved the life.
So if you don't think podcasting is important, well there's one life saved. So Golden Age, yeah.
Daniel Penny. Yeah, we need some Daniel Penny. Daniel Penny needs to be freed. We've got to make this a clean win for the Golden Age.
Anyway, but before that happens, did you hear about the small town that has some kind of a research facility that was using monkeys and forty of the monkeys escaped on Thursday? So there were forty monkeys on the loose. Thirty-eight of them allegedly voted straight Democrat ticket so I think they were just down for the week to do a little voting. But no, I'm just joking. Animals don't vote ever.
All right. How many of you have seen my conversation with Naval? Which was done the same way as these live streams. So it's on all the same platforms. You can see it on X. It's pinned on my X platform and on YouTube and Rumble and Locals as well. Now you have to look at it. If you think you don't want to watch an hour-long conversation — it's not exactly an interview because neither of us are too much into the format of an interview. It's a conversation. But it's a conversation with probably the most interesting person in the world. So you should look at the comments and if the first three that you see don't tell you to spend an hour watching it, I'd be surprised. It's already lighting up the internet. It's got like half a million views since last night. So don't miss it. Naval Ravikant, smartest person in the world, and he'll show you why.
Meanwhile, trust in physicians and hospitals has decreased by 31% since 2020. Oh, surprise. So there's very little trust in hospitals and doctors these days. And I've said this before but I'll say it again. You may find yourself in a situation where you need to explain to your doctor that you trust your doctor but you don't necessarily trust the system that constrains your doctor's choices. So your doctor is working under the umbrella of what will the insurance company back you on. You know, if the insurance company isn't going to back you on it, better not do it. And most of them have bosses and the bosses are big organizations that have to do what the government says or what Big Pharma says or what somebody says.
So I'm finding that it's useful to set down a standard that you believe that your doctor is a qualified person doing the best they can, means well, but you understand they're constrained and that you're going to have to work with that constraint. And that means that you might have to make some decisions that are outside of their narrow range of prescriptions. Now I hope I'm not giving advice because some of you get killed by ignoring your doctors. Don't do that. Don't ignore your doctor. But I do think we're in an age where you can't just automatically assume everything they tell you is the right answer.
So maybe the best advice I can give you is that if you haven't at least gotten a second opinion from AI you should do that. You'd be surprised how good AI is on the medical stuff already. I would not replace your real doctor with AI, so don't get me wrong. It's not time to do that. But if you wanted a second opinion, such as let's say your doctor says take a certain drug and you didn't hear any side effects mentioned, you might want to look at the side effects. You know, AI will help you a lot.
Speaking of AI, Jeff Bezos and others have invested in this new robot company. It's called Physical Intelligence and they're teaching their robots to do physical things in the real world such as chores and folding laundry and such. But what makes it different is that the normal way to train your AI would be large language model which isn't going to help for physical tasks. But also just to look at a million different things and then from those million different things try to duplicate whatever you need. But if you take something like folding laundry, it's never really exactly the same twice. You know, every shirt's a little different, etc. So you need something that's a little smarter than just copying what it's seen before.
And so they've got some kind of algorithm for physical applications. So they think they're building a general purpose artificial intelligence for physical. So instead of training your robot to do something specific like do this exactly like this, somehow it can figure out physical tasks and the smarter way to do them in any given situation it's never seen before. Now if they can pull that off, holy cow. I don't know if they can. But imagine if they can pull that off, that it can understand its world the same way you do and it wouldn't need to be trained on anything. It just has an algorithm that manages the real world. So I could see why somebody rich would put some money in that.
I've seen some smart people — I think Marc Andreessen and some others have said that now with Trump in office and his propensity to get rid of red tape and regulations, and of course Elon will be getting in and doing his thing, that might reduce the government burden on business. And oh I didn't mention this but in my conversation with Naval Ravikant he mentioned that he put out the word that he would be willing to help in the Trump administration. And not I'm not talking about taking a cabinet position but maybe in the way that Elon's helping. You know, something that he would be uniquely qualified to do. And he is uniquely qualified to do a lot of things. So if you ever wanted a dream team, oh my goodness is the dream team coming together.
So there are some predictions that our GDP could be insane compared to what it has been in the past. You know, inflation is always a problem if that happens but that's a problem I'll take because I think we may be on the verge of an economic boom like we've never seen. The stock market certainly thinks so. I mean the market's just crazy last three days.
Well apparently Don Jr. has floated the idea with Alex Jones of some kind of rotating press secretary thing where Alex Jones would be the press secretary but you know just for a month and then somebody else would come in. Now how do you like that idea? I think there probably still needs to be a regular employee press secretary but the idea of having guest spots, it's a good idea. And there's never been an idea that's more perfectly Trumpian, is there? You know, the greatest showman on Earth. Why would the greatest showman on Earth be satisfied with these press events that are the most useless boring things on Earth? Greatest showman on Earth, most boring stupid useless process ever that you seem to do anyway. Now in the past I think he's just skipped them, right? Sometimes he just said ah it's not even worth it. I talk to the press enough.
But it seems to me the most perfectly Trumpian thing would be to figure out how to make it interesting. And you do a little guest appearances and there's no way that the news could not talk about it. I'm seeing Roseanne's name come up a number of times. Can you even imagine showing up, you know, for your job? You're just a reporter and you're just going to hear this boring denial of everything and then all of a sudden Roseanne comes in with a binder and just the energy in the room goes crazy because they thought they were going to do something boring again but Roseanne walks in and you're like I don't know what's going to happen now. And suddenly it's going to be a headline.
One of the things that the news tries to do, or actually the politicians try to do, is fill all the shelf space with stories that at least don't hurt them. And that would make at least one story maybe once a week or more in which the press would just have to write about it. They just have to. Now they probably find some way to say a negative like oh he's not taking the job seriously but I feel like they're over that. I think they know that he wants to be president for being president reasons. I think they finally figured he actually just wants to do the job right anyway.
Chief of Staff has been chosen by Trump: Susie Wiles. I'd not heard that name before but if you're on X and you're seeing the comments from people who have worked with her for a long time, I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen such a complete endorsement of anybody politically or for anything. So whoever Susie Wiles is is apparently very well regarded and I guess it's a good pick. Everybody who knows her says it's like a home run.
Now here's what's fascinating about it. Do you remember me saying for the past at least six months that the Trump campaign — which is what she was doing, she was running his campaign — that the Trump campaign was just so obviously well-run? Do you remember that? And I kept commenting how sometimes if things are going well you don't notice because usually you notice mistakes. But the lack of mistakes that Trump made was indicative that there was some kind of very powerful and effective force that he was working with that was balancing him just right. So there was something that was really, really working about the campaign. And now I think we know what it was. It was somebody who already had a great reputation and took that into the campaign. I mean look at the campaign. It wasn't just good. It was maybe as good as anything could be. I mean it would be hard to imagine doing better than he did. So boy is that a positive thing for your Golden Age. So to get a great chief of staff that everybody respects and is a real powerhouse is amazing.
Now what did I not mention? What's the dog not barking thing I didn't mention about that story at all? First female chief of staff. Do you know why I didn't mention it? Because I'm going to call it. I'm just going to call it we're done saying that. All right, how about we're all adults and we know that a woman can do a job. How about we stop saying the first Black this or that? Because again this comes as a shock to some of you: Black people have jobs, right? Gay people have jobs. It doesn't have to be the first gay one. It doesn't have to be the first woman one.
So at the same time that Trump is being accused by the crazy left that maybe sexism is the reason that Kamala Harris didn't become president because they say she was discriminated against, all right keep that in your mind. And then look at the comments about Susie Wiles from the people who know her and you tell me if any Republicans are showing some kind of sexism. Nope. Capability, capability, capability. That's all they're talking about. Just totally capable. And the whole woman, you know, first woman thing — I was waiting to see if somebody would do it because I thought in my mind, I'm no historian but I thought I can't remember a woman being in that job. I wonder if that's the first. And I was happy to say that it wasn't the lead headline on every single comment. But somebody brought it up and I thought that was worth noting. So I'm going to note it as putting a period in it.
How about we just say everybody who's capable and good and smart can have any kind of job that a capable, good, smart person can have. And every time we say "but she's also a woman" is not helping women. It's really not. So stop doing it. And the way the Trump campaign handled that as well as the way it handled the campaign was by staying away from all that identity stuff. And what happened by staying away from the identity stuff? Trump won a surprising number of people who were nonwhite men just by not being one of those people who had to talk about identity all day long. So he's definitely found the right, let's say, the feel of the room.
You got Zuby saying that identity politics is dead. I don't know if it's dead dead but it's never going to work again. Maybe that's the same thing anyway.
I saw Jason from the All-In Pod — Jason, I never know how to pronounce his name so Jason if you're watching I apologize — Calacanis. He's famous enough that people use his first name. You know, Jason from the All-In Pod. So he's got that Madonna thing going on. Calacanis. I can never remember. Oh anyway it's one of those. But he was on the Trigonometry podcast and he said somewhat cheekily, I would say with a twinkle in his eye, that Trump won because he's incredible at manipulating weak dumb people. And now you could tell by the look on his face when he said it that he was being intentionally provocative. But here's the thing. He's not wrong. He's not wrong. The public is not filled with geniuses and they're not filled with Atlas strong people. The public needs leaders. It needs people who are stronger than they are and in the opinion of the people being led somebody who's got a better idea.
So yes, I mean those are the insulting words to use for it, that he's good at manipulating weak dumb people. But let me give you another word for it: leadership. Do you know who doesn't need leadership? Brilliant strong people. But how many are there? There aren't that many brilliant strong people. You know we notice them whenever we see them. So no, that's leadership. You could call it manipulating the dumb and weak people or you could say he's showing people who are not as plugged in as he is and not as strong where they should go. And they seem to enjoy that situation enough to vote for him for a second time.
So there's a fine line between manipulating and leadership. And I would say that the single defining point, the most important point, is why are you doing it? It's leadership if you're doing it for everybody's benefit or the greater good let's say. And it's manipulating if you're just doing it for your own benefit. But the president is the one job I think we should all agree on is so transparent that there is no way to do a bad job as president and then be happy about it when you're done. That's not a thing.
Joe Biden's entire term is now a disgrace basically because he couldn't keep it together long enough to get a second term and prevented Kamala Harris from having the best chance she could of winning or anybody else from having the best chance they have of winning. So Biden by failing at that critical decision point knows that his legacy is now half of what it could have been. Do you think Trump wants a bad legacy? Do you think he wants the Trump name to be dragged through the toilet of history? Or does he want to do the best job he could right in front of you as transparently as possible so that he doesn't have to convince you it was a good job? You saw it yourself. To me it seems obvious that he's deeply, deeply motivated to do a great job and anything short of that would be disappointing to Trump I would imagine. Certainly disappointing to his supporters and his family. We expect great things.
Well Putin, according to Just the News, Vladimir Putin described Trump as a courageous man who was hounded from all sides during the presidential campaign and he congratulated Trump on his victory. And Putin said, quote, "He behaved in my opinion in a very correct way, courageously like a real man." Putin said, "I take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election." He said he's ready to speak to Trump about the war in Ukraine. Quote, "What was said about the desire to restore relations with Russia to bring about the end of the Ukrainian crisis in my opinion this deserves attention at least," said Putin.
Now you know how this is going to be framed by the good guys and the bad guys. The bad guys — well let me not call them bad guys. Let's just say in the spirit of unity I'll say the Democrats for now. You know the Democrats are going to say oh you're Putin's puppet. Oh Trump why are you so nice to dictators? Why are you being so good to dictators? And then all the people who have any experience in business or any experience in politics and have ever negotiated anything are going to say are you all weak and dumb like Jason says? Because let me explain how negotiating works. First you listen to the person you're negotiating with and you try to agree with as much as possible so that you're both shaking your heads yes before you get to the hard stuff.
Now what would be the best way to bond, you know, to find something in common between Putin and Trump which would make both of them better at negotiating with each other? Which is your ideal situation. You don't want one of the people to think they went away oh I got bullied into something. You want both of them to think this is a good negotiation. I'm going in this strong. I'm going in it against somebody strong. We respect each other. We can be honest. You know you're bad here, you're good here. We like the good. Stop doing the bad. It's kind of a perfect situation.
So I'm pretty sure that 100% of all the people who have had experience in negotiating — and that used to be one of my corporate jobs was negotiating with vendors over prices and stuff — and yeah this is negotiating 101. Trump should be saying that Putin's a strong leader, that Putin has been maybe good for Russia. That might be a little too far but you can say good things about him.
There's some talk about Trump may be pardoning Hunter Biden because that would be a good way to get some unity back. I don't think Hunter should be pardoned. At the same time there are still legal risks, lawfare let's call it, against Trump. Now there is optimism that all of Trump's legal problems will be swept away and that might happen but hasn't happened yet. So I think it's certainly premature to be talking about any pardons.
But as Mike Benz weighs in on this he said talking about the Hunter Biden pardon, he said I'm actually okay with this on the condition that Hunter becomes a federal informant for six months and tells the Trump DOJ every federal crime committed by the CIA, State Department and some other groups and gives the comms. Now I don't think there's any chance in the world that Hunter Biden could roll over on the CIA and the Atlantic Council and anybody else because I think literally he would be killed. You know if there's anything there that really needs to be hidden I think he would actually be killed. Like literally no joke no hyperbole I think he would be killed. So I don't think there's really a chance of that.
So it's too bad. There's definitely a strong part of me that would like the Hunter Biden thing to be wrapped up and maybe it's good for the country to say can we get past this and just take care of business. This is the past. He was a drug addict. Maybe he did some illegal money laundering Ukraine things but we don't have to worry about it now. We're past it. So I mean you don't need to give somebody a pardon unless they actually did something that is jailable and it looks like maybe there's some jailable things in there if you look hard enough. I don't know. So I guess I'm on the fence on this one. But definitely no as long as Trump is still in lawfare territory.
So as Fisher King points out on X that winning the popular vote was a pretty big deal and we have the blue states to thank for that because it means that a lot of people like me got people to vote in California and I voted for the first time in memory because we knew that winning the popular vote changed everything. I did not want to be in a situation where Trump won the electoral vote but not the popular vote. That was not where I wanted to be at all.
And I think that some of the reason that Democrats are quiet is because there is no strategy that cleanly gets you past the fact that a majority of Americans who voted were on the other side and think you did a bad job and your package of policies wasn't good enough. Now if it were not the majority at the same time that the major media is in favor of Democrats, I mean that's a hell of a message. Just think of waking up. Imagine this. Imagine you went to sleep and when you went to sleep you were the moral authority of the country. You were the good guys. Not only were you the good moral ethical authority of the country because you're a good Democrat unlike those terrible terrible MAGA people but you were also in the majority. So you were the good people and you were in the majority.
And then you wake up and you find out you're not in the majority and there was a good reason for it. You weren't the good people after all because you were the ones pushing the wokeness and the lies. And then you watched your leaders, the same leaders who told you that if Trump became elected he would be Hitler like actually literally like Hitler. He would round up people in camps and all this. And then one minute after the polls call the winner those same Dem rats who told you with serious faces you're all going to be rounded up, they all said well peaceful transfer of power I guess the system worked. Better luck next time.
And then tens of millions of Democrats said wait a minute how do you square that? How does peaceful transfer of power ever hook up with we're electing Hitler? That's the wrong answer. If he's really Hitler you should not be bragging about a peaceful transfer of power. You should be talking about your underground resistance which will try to kill them as soon as they can. Now of course I'm against that. No violence please. But the point is at least that would be consistent. If the things you told your own people were anywhere near true you should not be rolling over and accepting this new dictator for a day.
So I think that this spell maybe got broken. And I saw some more talk today about the fine people hoax changing somebody's mind and how much it broke their brain. I forget who it was. I'll get to it. But think about how important winning the actual total vote was. Not just the electoral vote. Being the majority by like a solid five million or whatever it is now changes everything. You can no longer see yourself as the safe reasonable people who are trying to protect the world from these weirdos who have weird opinions. It turns out that the weirdos were the majority. Literally the weirdos. Remember when Walz and them had this brilliant idea that they'll call the Trump supporters weirdos? Why do you call people weirdos? It's only because you think they're the minority. Turns out there were more weirdos than there were anti-weirdos. I love my weirdos by the way. More weirdos please. The more the better.
Oh you got a winner in Pennsylvania Senate. Winner good.
Anyway let's see what else has happened here. So this is what Colin Rugg did a good job of summarizing on X. The things that Trump said. He had ten things he wants to do to effectively get rid of the deep state. So I think it's worth reading all ten of them to you. So I won't go into detail but just get a sense of what Trump said.
Now here's the thing I love about Trump and one of the things he got right the first time he ran. As soon as he was elected he started doing presidential stuff like he didn't wait until he was sworn in. Like anything he could do legally that was presidential like he visited the Ford plant and some other plant and tried to keep American jobs here and it was just sort of brilliant because it gave you a first look at what a Trump presidency would look like. And you're like oh wow he's already on the job. He's definitely putting in the work. For me I like that.
So here he is again telling you what he has in store and he's very specific. That's ten things. Here they are. Immediately reissue his 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. I didn't know he couldn't do that but apparently there must have been some employee protection or something but he can remove rogue bureaucrats. He wants to clean out all the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. I don't know how you do that exactly but I agree it has to be done. He wants to totally reform the FISA courts which are so corrupt he says that the judges seemingly do not care when they're lied to in warrant applications. I mean I think they do care but they act like they don't care because they grant pretty much anything.
Here's number four. Listen to this one. You ready for this? This is number four on his list. Expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart. There it is. There it is. Yeah how about exposing the hoaxes. I remind you that the American debunkdc.com page is a really well done professional page of Trump hoaxes being debunked. So there is already a mechanism for that. He just needs to send enough eyeballs to it. And I love the fact that it's an enumerated top ten thing because if you don't take out the hoaxes and the abuses of power — the hoaxes are the part that I care about the most. If you don't take care of the hoaxes then the Democrats can build back their hoax-ocracy which has temporarily collapsed.
So at the moment there are a whole bunch of Democrats saying to themselves and each other did we get everything wrong? Charlamagne tha God for example is saying that Democrats read the room wrong. There must be a lot of voters who were saying the same things like did we read everything in the country wrong? And the answer is yes. Yes if they thought they were the majority and they were on the side of the angels yes they read the room wrong. Very wrong.
All right number five: launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news. I like that because that's again going after the hoaxes. Make every inspector general's office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee. That seems like a pretty smart structural change.
Seven: ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they're not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign. I like that he likes to work in the slip. His list of top ten. I think that's worth trying but isn't the whole point of a spy agency that you can lie even to people in your own country? I mean is the CIA supposed to tell people the exact truth all the time? I don't know how that works because I would think if you create an organization whose job is to lie for the benefit of the country then they could lie anytime they had an argument that it's for the benefit of the country. So I don't know how that works. So maybe there's a way to audit them. It's worth a try.
Number eight: continue the effort launched by the Trump admin to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside of the Washington swamp. That feels like a solution that people who are smarter and more well-informed than I am would say that's a good idea. I guess if you just move them physically there's less swampy connections and I could see how that would be true. But I'd have to see it work to know it's a solution because I feel like the swamp can follow you. You know we have phones and Zoom and stuff. So I don't know. Maybe if you can't have lunch with the rest of the swamp it doesn't get to you but it's worth a try. It's worth a try.
How about number nine: work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. You know that's a tough one. I think everybody thinks that that makes the country at risk when the people who are doing the regulating are too cozy with the industry that they're regulating. On the other hand you want people who are so well connected that the pharma industry would want to hire them as soon as they could. So there's part of me that wishes there was some way to solve this without reducing the rights of people to work where they want to work. You know how non-compete agreements are usually — I think this is true — I think they're usually thrown out by courts. Your employer can't tell you not to work for the competition. I think it might depend on certain situations or states or something. But I don't love anything that limits where I can go to work. But on the other hand if the regulators are too cozy with the regulated then the whole thing falls apart. So I guess tentatively this would be one thing that I would also be in favor of.
But I would say that for having ten things on his list I'll get to the last one. Last one is push a constitutional amendment to put term limits on Congress. I don't think there's any chance of term limits but these are ten things which most of them look good at first look and several of them look like something that's worth trying. And then if it doesn't work adjust. That's how the whole country should work. Try something. It looks like a good idea. It looks like it solves the problem. If it doesn't work pull it back. Do it again. America is really good at canning the stuff that didn't work. It's sort of a superpower we have. So yeah let's try some stuff.
Trump also vowed separately to put on the first day to end gender affirming care. Now that's what the Democrats call it gender affirming care. Republicans call it mutilating young people. We don't need to get into that debate except to say that it was a very popular common opinion that children should be exempt from the transitioning. I think that the national approval for blocking children from transitioning is like 70 or 80 percent, 90 percent. It was way up there. It's like crazy popular. So yeah do that right away. So again this was something that Trump could do on day one literally that would look like he's really getting stuff done and the Golden Age is coming and things are working.
Mike Benz again. He had a really interesting idea because as you know he's described over the past few years the censorship network, the web of censorship non-government organizations. So there are all these entities that are not part of the government but in many cases our government as well as other entities fund them. So some of the things we fund are these disinformation censorship people that really are more like censorship. And so what Mike Benz says is that you couldn't totally dismantle that system but you could give it something like an almost lethal blow with one executive order that would prohibit funding by any government agency to any outside group involved in regulating, flagging or downgrading so-called disinformation. Because you know that turns into censorship.
Now how good an idea is that? Like really good. Now let me teach you something about the Trump administration. I'm going to say this with confidence without knowing yet if I'm right. Remember I always tell you that the person with the best ideas in charge, it's just always true. If you're the junior person at the meeting but when your turn comes to talk you have the best idea, well if people recognize it as the best idea I guess you were in charge even though you're the junior person. And this is one of those clean examples I think. And what makes it a clean example is that when you read it you say to yourself yeah of course. Of course. Yeah take the funding away from people who are trying to censor Americans. We have free speech. So this is just a plain good idea with a very specific mechanism which doesn't cost much of anything. An executive order. And it would be just a huge blow to a big part of the disinformation fabric.
Now here's my prediction. My prediction is because I've been saying this a lot that the Trump administration is better than probably any administration ever at reading the room and also accepting suggestions that come from good sources. So when Elon Musk says you know what if you let me I can take a bunch of money out of the government, what does Trump say? Does Trump say oh no that will be taking the limelight away from me. I can't have you getting in there. No he says really? Elon Musk the guy who took 80% of the employees out of Twitter and increased the number of features. He's willing to work for free. He has all the credibility of the public and he can do this thing which desperately needs to be done. Yes yes yes.
You know the Democrats are talking to Beyonce. They can't even get Beyonce the same way. And Trump's got people like Naval and Elon Musk and a whole bunch of others just volunteering to do the most important work that needs to be done. RFK Jr. he just comes and says you know the food supply is poison. Our Big Pharma is all messed up. If you let me I can fix all that. What does Trump say? Oh no I could never work with the Democrat. No nope. Oh no there was that one time you said that thing that I disagreed with. No he just said wait what is it you want to do? You want to fix our food supply and fix how pharma gets decided so that science is more prominent than that? That's a good idea. Go do that.
So I'm going to predict that this will make its way to the Trump administration. That they will be looking for good ideas to do right away and that I would be surprised if this doesn't happen. So I want you to watch for it because I want you to see your government at work. So Mike Benz has a very good reputation you know among at least the right as being a really solid smart source. So if he says this is a good idea I feel like I'm pretty certain it is and I think that the Trump administration would have the same impression like oh wow really we could get all that done with one executive order? Let's run that up the flagpole. See if it works.
So watch this one. Just watch if this good idea gets translated into policy.
Well as you might imagine and Wired is reporting that the left is complaining that maybe the election was rigged because how in the world could all those votes be missing? You know they're looking for their own missing votes because Kamala didn't get so far. They haven't finished counting the votes but if in the uncounted semi-counted votes is lower. Now here's the funny part. My understanding is that there is a Russian-inspired hoax that says there are 20 million or maybe 14 or 15 million votes that are sort of missing. Meaning that they were people that allegedly voted in 2020 for Biden that didn't show up for Harris. Where would they be? You know that it would be very uncommon to go down 15 million votes from the election before especially if it's the vice president from the same administration. Like it should have been pretty close.
Now the reason that's a hoax and this is my understanding is that when all the votes are counted it's going to be about what it was the last time. Now why that seems so off is that some of the blue states where the outcome of the presidential election is obvious like you don't have to finish counting in California to call the state for Harris right? You don't have to finish counting in New York. And since there's such big populations you know if you're only 75% done counting you've got several million sitting there that are just waiting to be counted. But there's no problem with it. They're just waiting to be counted. Now if they were the states that were close that would be a whole different suspicion. But if it's the states that you already know where they're going and nobody's questioning it's a blue state and it's going blue and they haven't finished counting, you know we might end up with the same number.
But what's fun about this is that apparently it's the first hoax that worked on both sides because the Republicans and even in the comments people are putting it in the comments because they think it's real. So the Republicans are saying aha we have now proven that 2020 must have been fake because all those votes are missing. They're not missing. Okay so just to be clear there aren't any votes missing that we know of. They just haven't all been counted. But at the same time according to Wired the people on the left are saying this election must be rigged because there are 15 million votes missing. So somehow if Russia really did this — and again I don't believe any of the Russian stories. Some of them are going to be true but just automatically I don't believe anything about Russia. Oh Russia did it. Russia did it. Russia. All right. But this would be one of the best pranks anybody did if you could get both sides to think that it means the election was rigged for the other. Pretty clever Putin if you're behind that.
Well as others have mentioned when Joe Biden addressed the nation after Trump's win we've never seen Joe Biden look happier. You know I saw the comments about it before I saw him and I thought oh you're just being political so you're sort of having fun with it and you're just pretending like he's happy. But when I look at him he will not be any more or less happy than he ever is. He'll be spewing the F people hoax etc. And then I watched it. He is happier than I've ever seen him. He couldn't even freaking hide it. He couldn't even hide how happy he is. And that to me that's hilarious. Hilarious.
But here's the thing that's deprogramming his side as I mentioned earlier. Imagine you're a Democrat and you supported Biden and you especially supported him because he ran on the fine people story which was a hoax. But if you didn't know it you thought my God I can't have Trump in charge. He called neo-Nazis fine people. Now Biden said it. Said that Trump said it but of course it never happened. He said the opposite. He disavowed them. And so Biden runs for office because he's running against Hitler. And then it's the moment Hitler gets elected. Here's Biden: ah it's a good day. Oh you know peaceful transfer of power. How you doing? Hey you in the front. Is that the way you act when Hitler comes to power?
It is so obvious and it has to be obvious to the Democrats themselves that their leadership was not just lying but it was the big lie. Yeah the very thing that they were accusing Trump of, the big lie, was at Trump's Hitler. And they backed off of the lie the very minute they had to become consistent with their idea of a peaceful transfer of power. You know they realized they were in a trap. They had to act like that was something believable anyway.
There are two real world, maybe three, three real world things that you need to know. Number one: all data is fake. All data is fake. That matters if it doesn't matter or if it's just some engineering calculation that might be real but in the political realm it's all fake. So to those of you who keep sending me the graph of all those alleged missing votes — and by the way there might be some missing votes. I'm not saying there isn't. What I'm saying is that if you believed data in the middle of the fog of the election war that was a mistake. And again I have to be careful. It could be that the information you have is correct that there are missing votes. But if you believed it because you saw a graph or you saw a social media post about it in the middle of the fog of the election then you made a mistake. You made a mistake. It was too soon to be confident about that. Now that doesn't mean it's not true. It doesn't mean that we'll never find any problems with this election. That part I don't know. I'm saying that if you have confidence that you're sure those 20 million — now it's like everything else is fake. All data is fake. This is probably more of it. We'll find out.
Here's another real world update. I said this before but it fits in my list well. When Elon Musk or RFK Jr. talk about getting rid of parts of the government that you think are protecting you like FDA or CDC or anything else they don't necessarily mean that the government doesn't do that work. It may be that you've got two departments and it makes more sense that it all happens in one right? So then you're getting rid of a department but you're not getting rid of the thing. So if you do what Elon Musk would do because of his engineering mind or what somebody like Naval would do they wouldn't say how do we tweak this thing the way it is. They'd say if we were building it from scratch what would it look like? And if the way it is now is not the way it would look like if you were to build it ideally from scratch well then maybe you make some big changes.
The other thing is that the deportation question. I keep watching Republican after Republican falling off a cliff because the Democrat media is saying this. So how in the world can Trump deport 20 million people? It would be chaos. You know the families would be broken up and all these things. Let me describe the real world. The real world is where you scare people about what you're going to do so you can get done what you need to do. So Trump is saying he's going to deport 20 million people is exactly like what he said the first time. And the first time he ran I told you all don't worry about that. He's not going to deport 20 million people. He's going to get rid of the criminals if he can. He's going to seal up the border as well as he can. And if you just get the flow down to some reasonable level we'll be fine. Then it goes from a big problem to a small problem. It doesn't really need to be 100% solved. It just needs to go from a big problem to a small one.
So sure enough Trump gets in. He does a good job of closing at least the flow and rounding up a bunch of criminals. And by the end of his term how many of you were saying damn it if only he'd sent back 10 million more people? Not me. I didn't miss the deportations. And so I assume in the real world because this is the way the real world always works that Trump will focus like a laser on the criminals. He will put all the resources on the Venezuelan gangs and it will take four years to get rid of them. And if he seals the border at the same time and ends all these amnesty things and maybe he says something like if you came in illegally during this time you can't vote or you'll never be able to vote or something. You're going to say oh well but we still have 20 million people living on the streets who are migrants. And by the end of four years Trump will say no we don't because they all got absorbed. It turns out that they wanted to be here and there were employers who wanted them to work. And so that problem which is gigantic at the moment and an existential threat to the country at the moment would almost instantly become a medium-sized problem the moment you shut the border and you focus on getting rid of the criminals. When you get rid of the criminals and if you successfully kept the border nice and tight for four years do you think the country is going to say you failed because there's still 20 million people who are working for companies and paying taxes that you should have sent back? Probably not. I don't know anybody who would really care.
So I think that the Democrats are playing this game where they know full well that if you talk tough the people who were thinking of coming in during the Trump administration will stay home. Don't you think he's already caused people to stay home? Of course he has. He's probably on the verge of ending three or four wars just on the threat of him coming into office. And he's almost certainly going to reduce the number of people. There might be a surge of people trying to get in before he takes office but there should be sort of automatic decrease in people willing to come in after some initial surge.
So those are your real world updates. In the real world you can re-engineer. You don't have to just get rid of stuff. And in the real world you don't have to deport 20 million people and you can make everybody happy. That's the weird part. You can make me completely happy. But at the moment I'm thinking you got 20 million too many people. You need to do something about those 20 million people. But I'll be happy if they're working and you get rid of the criminals and close up the border. I can live with that.
There's a question about whether the Federal Reserve should report to the president and whether the president should be able to fire that person. There's been a long history of independence and I'm in favor of independence because there should be maybe some process for removing a Federal Reserve head. Maybe there is like an impeachment or something. But I think it should only be in an emergency. I don't think that the politician's opinion of what the interest rate should be should be somehow higher priority than the Fed's because the Fed has that one job. But the politician is also trying to get reelected. So you don't want the person who wants to get reelected to say hey lower those interest rates when really we'd be better off with holding them higher for a little bit longer. So I don't think I want Trump to have control over the Fed. I think there's going to be some disagreement on that but I feel like that would be a better safeguard. Just have a little distance there even if they're not doing exactly what you want.
Well congratulations again to America First Legal. You know that's the Trump-friendly legal group that's pressing every legal challenge that they can all over the country. And they just won their lawsuit with Ken Paxton. So together with him there were a coalition of 14 states and they officially stopped the Biden-Harris administration's illegal attempt they say to grant mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. Good. Yeah. Now here's why I agree with this. It has nothing to do with amnesty. It has everything to do with I don't really like the administration doing some big last-minute thing that could affect me this way. You know if it turned out that the Trump administration looked at it and they said you know what after we've looked at all the ins and outs of this you know maybe we can grant some amnesty to some of these people I'd be okay with that. But I feel like it needs to be a Trump decision not the last-minute nonsense done by the administration that's leaving. So I would prefer it be decided differently.
Have you heard about the 4B movement? Apparently it started in South Korea and it's a movement telling women to boycott men. So in South Korea it's because I guess they've got a patriarchy that's a little too rapey and a little too anti-woman according to some women. And so they started in South Korea this thing you know don't have sex with men. And apparently this has spread to TikTok and it has to do with the election results not being the way they wanted it. And so some women on TikTok are saying they should be like 4B and not mate or date or marry or sleep with any men and certainly don't have children with them. It's called the 4B.
Now would you like another dad joke? We can totally bookend this. One more dad joke coming in hard. So the 4B movement would decrease the number of children that people have. I would say that the 4B is a case of 2B or not 2B. No. Okay that was weak. That wasn't the strongest ending. I will give you that. But you see the children would be or they would not be. Okay if you have to explain it it's no good at all.
All right. Well ladies and gentlemen that is what I have for you. Again I will point to if you just joined my conversation with Naval Ravikant is getting gigantic numbers of views. It's pinned on my X profile but you can find it on YouTube and Rumble and if you're on Locals you can see it.
And if you didn't know the Dilbert calendar which I'm going to be talking about a lot because it's November. And so I just got an update. They're doing the printing for the ones that have already been purchased if you've asked that question and didn't get an answer. This is your answer. They're printing them now. So a week or two the first batches will come out. We're trying to get everything out before Christmas obviously but I wouldn't wait too close to Christmas to get yours. The only place you can get the Dilbert calendar is at the link dilbert.com. So it's right at the top. It's the only place. You can't get it on Amazon. Can't get it in your bookstore. To make it in America we had to do it a different way. I'll give you some more updates on that but that's all I've got for now.
Locals I'm going to come talk to you privately. Everybody else thanks for joining. I will see you tomorrow morning same time same place. So have a good day all you YouTube and Rumble and X people. Locals I'm coming at you.
it looks like the golden agees off a good start if you're looking at the stock market but let's look at your comments speaking of carry Lake they're trying to figure out uh so here's here's the interesting thing that's happening in Arizona with the gyo carry Lake situation um the the accusation from Liz Harrington is quote you know why it's taking so long they're trying to figure out how to keep gyo below Trump but higher than Lake oh man I I hate how true that sounds but maybe we'll find out what's what's true and what's not but but first we're going to watch this that's weird I do not see my own show today on locals come on locals huh well that puts a little crimp in my game because normally I look at my comments separately on here huh guess that's not going to happen all right well I tried good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I guarantee there's never been a better time in your whole life um but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that you can't even understand with your tiny shiny human brain all you need is a cup or muger a glass a tanker chin a canteen sugar flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine of the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous happens now ah so good all right going try one more time just to make sure that the locals comments are up and running why it's not showing up on my phone is weird I don't know how you're watching me if I'm on locals and I can't see myself how's that possible must be some kind of update okay seriously this isn't possible my own posts looking at the top looking at the newest one I'm currently live 800 people are watching and I'm the only person who can't see my own show is that is this really happening to me like like I want to show it to you to make sure that you can say that I'm the only person who can't see my own show because there are 800 of you that are watching it on locals right now and I'm on locals it's not there or it's not where it's supposed to be so oh my God how could this be there we go it's just way out of place where it should have been there it was we're all good now well if you didn't hear about this Intel who took away the coffee privileges for its employees because the company wasn't doing so well so they said no more free coffee and snacks but apparently that didn't go over well so Business Insider says they're bringing back free coffee that's right Intel is bringing back free coffee to the employees and do you know what I say about that Dad joke alert a dad joke will be delivered momentarily if you don't like Dad jokes cover your ear holes but for the rest of you get ready for this that's right coffee is good when the chips are down all right uh um I would like to uh uh tell you a little story that makes me feel good so this morning uh I do a pre-show before I do the show that you're watching now just for the subscribers on the locals platform and one of them told me this morning that he uh saved a life with Naran so there was a public transportation situation somebody uh an addict some fentel addict passed out was on the verge of dying and someone who claims he learned about Naran and what that's all about from my podcasts and so someone that I told about Naran was in a situation where somebody was about to die uh called out to find if anybody had some Naran and somebody did somebody was carrying so it was a public situation and somebody was carrying Narcan and they came came up with it and the individual uh administered it and actually felt the uh the heart come back on Save the life so if you don't think podcasting is important well there's one life saved so Golden Age yeah Daniel Penny yeah we we need some Daniel Penny Daniel penny needs to be freed we we've got to make this a clean win for the the golden age anyway um but before that happens did you hear about the uh there's a small town that has some kind of a research facility that was using monkeys and 40 of the monkeys escaped on Thursday so there were 40 monkeys on the loose 38 of them allegedly voted straight Democrat ticket so I think they were just down for the week to do a little voting but uh no I'm just joking animals don't vote ever all right how many of you have seen my conversation with Naval which is um which was done the same way as these live streams so it's on all the same platforms you can see it on X it's pinned it's pinned on my X platform and on You.
Tube and Rumble and locals as well now you have to look at if you think you don't want to watch an hourlong um conversation it's not exactly an interview because neither of us are too much into the you know the format of an interview it's a conversation but it's a conversation with probably the most interesting person in the world so you should look at the comments and if the first three that you see don't tell you to spend an hour watching it I'd be surprised uh it it's it's already lighting up the internet it's got like half a million views since last night so don't miss it nval ravikant smartest person in the world uh and uh he'll show you why meanwhile trust in Physicians and hospitals has decreased by 31% since 2020 oh surprise so there's very little trust in hospitals and doctors these days and I've said this before but I'll say it again you may find yourself in a situation where you need to explain to your doctor that you trust your doctor but you don't necessarily uh trust the system that constrains your doctor's choices so your doctor is working under the the umbrella of what will the insurance company back you on you know if the insurance company isn't going to back you on it better not do it and most of them have bosses and the bosses are big organizations have to do what the government says or the big farmer says or what somebody says so I'm finding that it's useful to to set down a standard that you believe that your doctor is you know qualified person doing the best they can means well but you understand their constrainted and that you're going to have to work with that constraint and that means that you might have to make some decisions that are outside of of their their narrow range of of prescriptions now I hope I'm not giving advice so because some of you killed by ignoring your doctors don't do that don't ignore your doctor but I do think we're in an age where you can't just automatically assume everything they tell you is the right answer so maybe the best advice I can give you is that if you haven't at least gotten a second opinion from AI you should do that uh you'd be surprised how good AI is on the medical stuff already uh I would not replace your real doctor with AI so don't get me wrong it's not time to do that but if you wanted a second opinion such as let's say your doctor says take a certain drug and you didn't hear any side effects mentioned you might want to you might want to take look at the side effects you know AI will help you a lot speaking AI Jeff Bezos and others have invested in this new robot company it's called physical intelligence and they're teaching their robots to do physical things in the real world such as chores and folding laundry and such but what makes it different is that the normal way to train your AI would be large language model which isn't going to help for physical tasks but also just to look at a million different things and then from those million different things try to you know duplicate it if you whatever you need but if you take something like folding laundry it's never really exactly the same twice you know every shirt's a little different Etc so you need something that's a little smarter than just copying what had seen before and so they've got some kind of algorithm for physical applications so they think they're building a general purpose artificial intelligence for physical so instead of training your robot to do something specific like do this exactly robot like this somehow it can figure out physical tasks and the smarter way to do them in any given situation it's never seen before now if they can pull that off holy cow I don't know if they can but imagine if they can pull that off that it can understand its world the same way you do and it wouldn't need to be trained on anything it just has an algorithm that manages the real world so I could see why somebody Rich would put some money in that I've seen some smart people I think Mark Andre and some others have said that uh now with Trump in office and his propensity to get rid of red tape and regulations and of course Elon will be getting in and you know doing his thing that might reduce the government burden on business and uh oh I didn't mention this but in my conversation with Naval ravikant he mentioned that he he put out the word that he would be willing to help in the Trump Administration and not not I'm not talking about taking a cabinet position but um maybe in the way that elon's helping you know something that he would be uniquely qualified to do and he is uniquely qualified to do a lot of things so if you ever wanted a Dream Team oh my goodness is the the Dream Team coming together so there are some predictions that our GDP could be insane compared to what it has been in the past you know inflation is always a problem if that happens but that's a problem I'll take because I think uh we're we may be on the verge of a of an economic boom like we've never seen the stock market certainly think so I the I mean the Market's just crazy last three days well apparently Don Jr has floated the idea with Alex Jones of uh some kind of rotating press secretary thing where Alex Jones would be the press secretary but you know just for a month and then then other somebody else would come in now how do you like that idea I think there probably still needs to be a you know regular employee press secretary but the idea of having guest um Spock it's a good idea and there's no there's never been an idea that's more perfectly trumpian is there you know the greatest showman on Earth why would the greatest showman on Earth be satisfied with these press events that are the most useless boring things on earth greatest showman on Earth most boring stupid useless process ever that you seem you do anyway now in the past I think he's just skipped them right sometimes he just said ah it's not even worth it I talk to the Press enough but it seems to me the most perfectly trumpian thing would be to figure out how to make it interesting and you do a little guest guest appearances and there's no way that the news could not talk about it I'm seeing Roseanne's name come up a number of times can you even imagine showing up you know for your job you're just a reporter and you're just going to hear this boring denial of everything and then all of a sudden Roseanne comes in with a binder and just the energy in the room goes crazy because they they thought they were going to do something boring again but Roseanne walks in and you're like I don't know what's going to happen now and suddenly it's you know it's it's going to be a headline one of the things that the news tries to do or actually the politicians try to do is uh fill all the the Shelf space with stories that at least don't hurt them and that would make at least one story maybe once a week or more in which the Press would just have to write about it they just have to now they probably find some way to you know say a negative like oh he's not taking the job seriously but I feel like they're over that I I I think they know that he's he wants to be president for being president reasons I think they finally figured he actually just wants to do the job right anyway uh Chief of Staff has been chosen by Trump Susie Wilds I'd not heard that name before but if you're on X and you're seeing the comments from people who have worked with her for a long time I've never seen anything like it I've never seen such a complete endorsement of anybody politically or for anything so whoever Susie WS is is apparently very well regarded and um I I guess it's a good pick everybody who knows her says it's like home run now here's what's fascinating about it do you remember me saying for the past at least six months that the the Trump campaign is that which is what she was doing she was running his campaign that the the Trump campaign was just so obviously well-run do you remember that and and I kept commenting how you know you sometimes if things are going well you don't notice because usually you notice mistakes but the lack of mistakes that Trump made was it was indicative that there was some kind of very powerful an effective force that he was working with that was balancing him just right so there was something that was really really working about the campaign and now now I think we know what it was it was somebody who already had a great reputation and took that into the to the campaign did I mean look at the campaign it wasn't just good it was maybe as good as anything could be I mean it would be hard to imagine doing better than he did so boy is that a positive thing for your golden age so to get a great chief of staff that everybody respects and is a real powerhouse is amazing now what did I not mention what's the dog not barking thing not thing I didn't mention about that story at all first female chief of staff St do you know why I do you know why I didn't mention it because I I'm going to call it I'm just going to call it we're done saying that all right how about we're all adults and we know that a woman can do a job how about we stop saying the first black this or that because again this come as a shock to some of you black people have jobs right gay people have jobs it doesn't have to be the first gay one doesn't have to be the first woman one so at the same time that Trump is being accused by the crazy left that maybe sexism is the reason that KL Harris didn't become president because they you know she didn't she was discriminated against all right keep that in your mind and then look at the comments about Susie Wilds from the people who know her and you ask me you tell me if any Republicans are showing some kind of sexism nope capability capability capability that's all they're talking about just totally capable and the whole woman you know first woman thing I I was waiting to see if somebody would do it because I thought in my mind mind I'm no historian but I thought I can't remember a woman being in that job I wonder if that's the first and I was happy to say that it wasn't the lead headline on every single comment but somebody brought it up and and I thought that was worth noting so I'm going to note it as putting a period in it how about we just say everybody who's capable and good and smart can have any kind of job that a capable good smart person person can have and every time we say but she's also a woman is not helping women it's really not so stop doing it and the way the way the Trump campaign handled that as well as the way it handled the campaign was by staying away from all that identity stuff and what happened by staying away from the identity stuff Trump won a surprising number of people who were nonwhite men just by not being one of those people who had to talk about identity all day long so he's definitely found the the right let's say the feel of the room you got the zuie is saying that identity politics is dead I don't know if it's dead dead but it's never going to work again maybe that's the same thing anyway um I saw Jason from the Allin pod Jason uh I never know how to pronounce his name so Jason if you're watching I apologize uh kinus or kenis he he he's famous enough that people use his first name you know Jason from the all-in Pod so he's got that Madonna thing going on K kinus or calanus I can never I can never remember oh anyway it's one of those um but he was on the trigonometry podcast and he said somewhat cheekily uh I would say with a twinkle in his eye that uh Trump won because he's incredible at manipulating weak dumb people and now you could tell by the look on his face when he said it that he was being intentionally provocative um but here's the thing he's not wrong he's not wrong the the public is not filled with Geniuses and they're not filled with you know Atlas strong people the public needs leaders it needs people who are stronger than they are and in the opinion of the people being led somebody who's got a better idea so yes I mean those are the insulting words to use for it that he's good at manipulating weak dumb people but let me give another word for it leadership leadership do you know who doesn't need leadership uh brilliant strong people but how many are there there aren't that many brilliant strong people you know we notice them whenever we see them so no that's leadership you could call it manipulating the dumb and weak people or you could say he's showing people who are not as plugged in as he is and not as strong where they should go and they seem to enjoy that situation enough to vote for him for a second time so there's a fine fine line between uh manipulating and Leadership and I would say that the single defining point the most important point is why are you doing it it's leadership if you're doing it for everybody's benefit or the greater good let's say um and it's manipulating if you're just doing it for your own benefit but the president is the one job I think we should all agree on is so transparent that there is no way to do a bad job as president and then be happy about it when you're done that's not a thing Joe Biden's you know uh entire term is now a disgrace basically because he couldn't keep it together long enough to get a second term and prevented KLA Harris from having a you know the best chance she could of winning or anybody else from the best chance they have winning so Biden by failing at that critical decision Point knows that his legacy is now half of what it could have been do you think Trump wants a bad Legacy do do you think he wants the Trump name to be dragged through the toilet of history or does he want to do the best job he could right in front of you as transparently as possible so that he doesn't have to convince you it was a good job you saw it yourself to me it seems obvious that he's deeply deeply motivated to do a great job and anything short of that would be disappointing to Trump I would imagine certainly disappointing to his supporters and his family we expect great things well Putin according to justtin news uh Vladimir Putin described Trump as a quot courageous man who was quote hounded from all sides during the presidential campaign and he congratulated Trump on his victory and uh Putin said quote he behaved in my opinion in a very correct way courageously like a real man Putin said I take this opportunity to congratulate him on his election he said he's all all he is ready to speak to Trump about the war in Ukraine quote what was said about the desire to restore relations with with Russia to bring about the end of the Ukrainian crisis in my opinion this deserves attention at least said Putin now you know how this is going to be framed by the good guys and the bad guys the bad guys well let me not call them bad guys let's let's just say in the spirit of unity I'll say the Democrats for now uh you know the Democrats are going to say oh you're you're Putin's puppet oh Trump why are you so nice to dictators why are you being so good to dictators and then all the people who have any experience in business or any experience in politics and have ever negotiated anything are going to say uh are you all weak and dumb like Jason says because let me explain how negotiating works first you listen listen to your person you're negotiating with and you try to agree with as much as possible so that you're both shaking your heads yes before you get to the hard stuff now what would be the best way to bond you know to to find something in common between Putin and Trump which would make both of them better at negotiating with with each other which is your ideal situation you don't want one of the people to think they went away oh I got you know bullied into something something you want both of them to think this is a good negotiation I'm going in this strong I'm going in it against somebody's strong we respect each other we can say we can be honest you know you're you're bad here you're good here we like the good stop doing the bad it's kind of a perfect situation so I'm pretty sure that 100% of all the people who have had experience in negotiating and that used to be one of my one of my corporate jobs was negotiating with vendors over prices and stuff and yeah this is a this is negotiating 101 Trump should be saying that Putin's a strong leader that Putin uh has been maybe good for Russia that might be a little too far but you can say good things about him um there's some talk about Trump may be pardoning Hunter Biden because that would be a good way to you know get some Unity back things um I don't think Hunters should be pardoned in the at the same time there are still legal risks lawfare let's call it against Trump now there is optimism that all of Trump's legal problems will be um swept away and that might happen but hasn't happened yet so I think it's certainly premature to be talking about any pardons but as Mike Ben weighs in on this he said talking about the hunter by pardon he said I'm actually okay with this on the condition that Hunter becomes a federal informant for six months and tells the Trump dog every federal crime committed by the CIA state department and some other groups and and gives gives the comms now I don't think there's any chance in the world that Hunter Biden could roll over on the CIA and the Atlantic Council and uh anybody else cuz I think literally he would be killed you know if there's anything there that that really needs to be HD I think he would actually be killed uh like literally no joke no hyperbole I think you would be killed so I don't think there's really a chance of that um so it's too bad I I have uh there's definitely a strong part of me that would like the hunter Biden thing to be wrapped up and and maybe it's a of the country to say can we get past this and just you know take care of business this is the past he was a drug addict maybe he did some illegal money laundering Ukraine things but we don't have to worry about it now we're past it so I mean you don't you don't need to give somebody a pardon unless they actually did something that is jailable and it looks like maybe there's some jailable things in there if you look hard enough I don't know so so I guess I'm on the fense on this one um but definitely no As Long As Trump is still in lawfare territory um so as a fisher king points s an x uh that winning the popular vote was a pretty big deal and we have the blue states to thank for that because it means that a lot of people like me got people to vote in California and I voted for the first time in memory um because we knew that winning the popular vote changed everything I did not want to be in a situation where Trump won the you know the electoral vote but not the popular vote that was not where I wanted to be at all and I think that some of the reason that Democrats are quiet is because there is no strategy that cleanly gets you past the fact that a majority of Americans who voted were on the other side and think you did a bad job and you your package of policies wasn't good enough now if it were not the majority at the same time that the major media is on the is in favor of Democrats I mean that's a hell of a message just think think of waking up imagine this imagine you you went to to sleep and when you went to sleep you were the moral authority of the country you were the good guys not only were you the good moral ethical authority of the country because you're a good Democrat unlike those terrible terrible magga people but you were also in the majority so you were the good people and you were in the majority and then you wake up and you find out you're not in the majority and there was a good reason for it you weren't the good people after all because you were the ones pushing the wokeness and the lies and then you watched your leaders the same leaders who told you that if Trump became elected he would be Hiller like actually literally like Hiller he would round up people in camps and all this and then one minute after the polls call the the winner those same Dem rats who told you with serious faces you're all going to be rounded up they all said well peaceful transfer of power I guess the system worked better luck next time and then tens of millions of Democrats said wait a minute how do you square that how does Peaceful transfer of power ever hook up with we're electing Hitler that's the wrong answer if he's really Hitler you should not be bragging about a peaceful transfer of power you should be talking about your underground resistance which will try to you know kill them as soon as they can now of course I'm against that no violence please but the point is at least that would be consistent if the things you told your own people were anywhere near true you should not be rolling over and accepting this new dictator for a day so I think that this spell maybe got broken and I saw some some more talk today about the fine people HS changing somebody's mind and how much it broke their brain um I forget who it was I'll get to it but think about how important the winning the um the actual total vote was not just the elector vote being the majority by like a solid five million or whatever it is now changes everything it you you can no longer see yourself as the safe reasonable people who are trying to protect the world from these you know these weirdos who have weird opinions it turns out that the weirdos were the majority literally the weirdos remember remember when wals and klet had this brilliant idea that they'll call the Trump supporters weirdos why do you call people weirdos it's only because you think they're the minority turns out there were more weirdos than there were anti- weirdos I love my weirdos by the way more weirdos please the more the better oh you got a winner in Pennsylvania Senate winner good anyway let's see else has happened here um so this is what uh so Colin rug did a good job of summarizing on X the things that Trump said he had 10 things he wants to do to effectively get rid of the deep state so I think it's worth reading all 10 of them to you so I won't go into detail but just get a sense of what Trump said now here's the thing I love about Trump and one of the things he got right the first time first time he ran as soon as he was elected he started doing presidential stuff like he didn't wait until he was sworn it like anything he could do legally that was presidential like he visited the Ford and some other plant and tried to keep American jobs here and and it was just sort of brilliant because it gave you a first look at what a trump presidency would look like and you're like oh wow he's already on the job he's definitely putting in the work for me I like that so here he is again telling you what he has in store and he's very specific that's 10 things here they are uh immediately reissue his 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove Rogue bureaucrats I didn't know he couldn't do that but apparently there must have been some employee protection or something but uh he can remove Rogue bureaucrats he wants to clean out all the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus I don't know how you do that exactly but I agree it has to be done he wants to totally reform the fisa courts which are so corrupt he says that the judges seemingly do not care when they're lied to in warrant applications that I mean I think they do care but they act like they don't care because they Grant pretty much anything um here's number four listen to this one you ready for this this is number four on his list expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart there it is there it is yeah how about exposing the hoaxes I remind you that the American debunk dcom page is a really well done professional page of uh Trump hoaxes being debunked so there is already a mechanism for that he just needs to send enough eyeballs to it and I love the fact that it's an enumerated top 10 thing because if you don't take out the the hoaxes and the abuses of power the hoaxes are the part that I care about the most if you don't get take care of the hoaxes then the Democrats can build back their hoax uracy which has temporarily um collapsed so at the moment there are a whole bunch of Democrats saying to themselves and each other did we get everything wrong Char Charline the God for example is saying that uh Democrats read the room wrong there must be a lot of Voters who were saying the same things like did we did we read everything in the country wrong and the answer is yes yes if they thought they were the majority and they were on on the side of the Angels yes they read the room wrong very wrong all right number five launch a major Crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news um I like that because that's again going after the hoaxes make every inspector General's Office Independent and physically separated from the Departments they oversee that seems like a pretty smart structural change seven asked Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they're not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied in my campaign I like that he likes to work that in there he likes to work in the the shiv his list of top 10 um I I think that's where worth trying but isn't the whole point of a spy agency that you you can lie even to people in your own country I mean is the CIA supposed to tell people the exact truth all the time I don't know how that works because because I would think if you create an organization whose job is to lie for the benefit of the country then they could lie anytime they had an argument that may it's for the benefit of the country so I don't know how that works so maybe there's a way to audit them it's worth a try number eight continue the effort launched by the Trump admin to move parts of the sprawling Federal bureaucracy to new locations outside of the Washington swamp that feels like a a solution that people who are smarter and more well-informed than I am would say that's a good idea I guess if you just move them physically there's less swampy connections and I could see how that would be true uh but I'd have to see it work to know it's a solution because I feel like the swamp can follow you you know we have phones and zoom and stuff so I don't know maybe if you can't have lunch with the rest of the swamp it doesn't get to you but it's worth a try it's worth a try um how about number n work to ban Federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate you know that's a tough one um I think everybody thinks that that makes the country at risk when the people are doing the regulating are too cozy with the the industry that they're regulating on the other hand you want people who are so well connected that the Pharma industry would want to hire them as soon as they could so there's there's part of me that wishes there was some way to solve this without reducing the rights of people to work where they want to work you know you know how non-compete Agreements are usually I think this is true I think they're usually thrown out by courts you know your employer can't tell you not to work for the competition I think it might depend on certain situations or states or something but I don't love anything that limits where I can go to work but on the other hand if The Regulators are too cozy with the regulated then the whole thing falls apart so I guess tentatively this would be one thing that I would also be in favor of but I would say that for for for having 10 things on his list I'll get to the last one last one's push a constitutional amendment to oppose to oppose not to oppose to put term limits on Congress I don't think there's any chance of term limits but these are 10 things which most of them look good at the first look and several of them look like something that's worth trying and then if it doesn't work adjust that's that's how the whole country should work try something it looks like a good idea it looks like it solves the problem if it doesn't work pull it back do it again America is really good at at uh you know canning the stuff that didn't work it's sort of a superpower we have so yeah let's try some stuff um Trump also vowed separately to put on the first day to end a gender affirming care now that's the the Democrats call it gender affirming care Republicans call it mutilating um young people uh we don't need to get into that debate except to say that it was a very po popular common opinion that children should be exempt from the transitioning I think that the what what is the national approval for blocking children from transitioning like 70 or 80% 90% it was way up there it's like crazy popular so yeah do do that right away so again this was something that Trump could do on day one literally um that would look like he's really getting stuff done and the golden age is coming and things are working Mike Benz again um he had an really interesting idea because as you know he's described uh over the past few years the censorship um Network the web of censorship uh non-government organizations so there are all these entities that are not part of the government but in many cases our government as well as others other entities fund them so some of the things we fund are are these disinformation censorship people that really are more like censorship and so he's so what Mike Ben says is if you that you could you couldn't totally dismantle that system but you could give it something like a you know an almost lethal blow with one ex executive order that would prohibit funding by any government agency to any outside group involved in regulating flagging or down ring so-called disinformation because you know that turns into censorship now how good an idea is that like really good now let me teach you something about the Trump Administration I'm going to say this with confidence without knowing yet if I'm right remember I always tell you that the person with the best ideas in charge it's just always true if if you're the junior person at the meeting but when your turn comes to talk you have the best idea well if people recognize it as the best idea I guess you were in charge even though you're the junior person and this is one of those clean examples I think and what makes it a clean example is that when you read it you say to yourself yeah of course of course yeah take the funding away from people who are trying to censor Americans we have free speech so this is just a plain good idea with a very specific mechanism which doesn't cost much of anything in executive order and it would be just a huge blow to a big part of the disinformation fabric now here's my prediction my prediction is because I've been saying this a lot that the Trump Administration is better than probably any Administration ever at reading the room and also accepting um suggestions that come from good sources so when Elon Musk says you know what if you let me I can take a bunch of money out of the government what does Trump say does Trump say oh no that will be taking the the uh the Limelight away from me I can't have you getting in there no he says really Elon Musk the guy who took 80% of the employees out Twitter and increased the number of features he's willing to work for free he has all the credibility of you know the public and he can do this thing which desper really needs to be done yes yes yes you know the Democrats are talking to Beyonce they can't even get Beyonce the same right and and Trump's got he's got people like naal and Elon Musk and you know a whole bunch of others just volunteering to do the most important work that needs to be done RFK Jr he he just comes and says you know the food supply is poison uh our big Pharma is all messed up if you let me I can fix all that what does Trump say oh no I could never work with the Democrat no nope oh no there was that one time you said that thing that I disagreed with no he just said wait what is it you want to do you want to fix our food supply and fix how Pharma gets decided so that science is more prominent than that that's a good idea go do that so I'm going to predict that this will make its way to the Trump Administration that they will be looking for good ideas to do right away and that I would be surprised if this doesn't happen so I want you to watch for it because I I want you to see your government at work so Mike Ben has very good reputation you know among at least the right uh as being a really solid smart Source you know so if he says this is a good idea I feel like I'm pretty certain it is and I think that the Trump Administration would have the same impr like oh wow really we could get all that done with one executive order let's let's run that up the flag poow see if it see if it works so watch this one just watch if this good idea gets translated into policy well as you might imagine and wired is reporting um that the left is uh complaining that maybe the election was rigged because how in the world could all those votes be missing you know they're looking for their own missing votes because Kamala didn't get so far they haven't haven't finished counting the votes but if in the the uncounted semic counted votes is lower now here's the funny part my understanding is that there is a Russian inspired hoax that says there are 20 million or maybe 14 or 15 million votes that are sort of missing meaning that they were people that allegedly voted in 2020 for Biden that didn't show up for Harris where would they be you know that it's it would be very uncommon to go down 15 million votes from the election before especially if it's the vice president from the same Administration like it should have been pretty close now the reason that's a hoax and this is my understanding is that it's when all the votes are counted it's going to be about what it was the last time now why that seems so off is that some of the blue states where the the outcome of the least of the presidential election is obvious like you don't have to finish counting in California to call the state for for uh for Harris right you don't have to finish counting in New York and since there's such big populations you know if you're only 75 5% done counting you've got several million sitting there that are just just waiting to be counted but there's no there's no problem with it they're just waiting to be counted now um if they were the states that were close that that would be a whole different suspicion but if it's the states that you already know where they're going and nobody's questioning it's a blue State and it's going blue and they haven't finish counting H you know we we might end up with the same number but what's fun about this is that apparently is it's the first hoax that worked on both sides because the the Republicans and even in the comments people are putting it in putting it in the comments because they think it's real so the so Republicans are saying aha we have now proven that 2020 must have been fake because all those votes are missing they're not missing okay so just to be clear there aren't any votes missing that we know of they just haven't all been counted but at the same time according to wired the people on the left are saying this election must be rigged because there are 15 million votes missing so somehow if Russia really did this and again I don't believe any of the Russian stories some of them are going to be true but just automatically I don't believe anything about Russia oh Russia did it Russia did it Russia all right right but this would be one of the best the best pranks anybody did if you could get both Ides to think it may that it means the election was rigged for the other pretty clever Putin if you're behind that well as others have mentioned when Joe Biden addressed the nation after Trump's win we've never seen Joe Biden look happier you know I saw the comments about it before I saw him and I thought oh you're you're just being political so you're sort of having fun with it and you're just pretending like he's happy but when I look at him he will not he will not be any more or less happy than he ever is he'll be spewing the F people Oaks Etc and then I watched it he is happier than I've ever seen him he couldn't even freaking hide it he couldn't even hide how happy he is and that to me that's hilarious hilarious but but here's the thing that's deprogramming his side as I mentioned earlier imagine you're you're uh you're a Democrat and you supported Biden and you especially sported him because he ran on the fine people story which was a hoax but if you didn't know it you thought my God I can't have Trump in charge he called neo-nazis Fine people now Biden said it said that Trump said it but of course it never happened he said the opposite he disavowed them uh and and so so Biden runs for office because he's running against Hitler and then it's the moment Hitler gets elected here's Biden ah it's a good day oh you know peaceful transfer power how you doing hey you in the front is that the way you act when Hitler comes to power it is so obvious and it has to be obvious to the Democrats themselves that their leadership was not just lying but it was the big lie yeah the the very thing that they were accusing Trump of the big lie was at you know Trump's Hiller and they backed off of the LIE the very minute they had to become consistent with their idea of a peaceful transfer of power you know they realized they were in a trap they had to act like that was something unbelievable anyway there are two real world maybe three three real world things that you need to know number one all data is fake all date is fake that matters if it doesn't matter or if it's just some engineering calculation that might be real but in the political realm it's all fake so to those of you who keep sending me the graph of all those alleged missing votes and by the way there might be some missing votes I'm not saying there isn't what I'm saying is that if you believed data in the middle of the fog of the election war that was mistake and again I have to be careful it could be that the information you have is correct that there are missing votes but if you believed it because you saw a graph or you saw a social media post about it in the middle of the fog of the election then you you made a mistake you made a mistake it was too soon to be confident about that now that doesn't mean it's not true it doesn't mean that we'll will never find any problems with this election that part I don't know I'm saying that if you have confidence that you're sure those 20 million now it's like everything else is fake all data is fake this is probably more of it we'll find out um here's another real world update I said this before but it fits in my list well when when Elon Musk or RFK Jr talk about getting rid of parts of the government that you think are protecting you like FDA or CDC or anything else they don't necessarily mean that the government doesn't do that work it may be that you've got two departments and it makes more sense that it all happens in one right so then you're getting rid of a department but you're not getting rid of the thing so if if you do what what a Elon Musk would do because of his engineering mind or what somebody like nval would do they wouldn't say how do we tweak this thing the way it is they'd say if we were building it from scratch what would it look like and if the way it is now is not the way it would look like if you were to build it ideally from scratch well then maybe you make some big changes um the other thing is that the deportation question I keep watching Republican after Republican falling off a cliff because the Democrat media is saying this so how in the world can Trump Deport 20 million people it would be chaos you know the families would be broken up and all these things let me describe the real world the real world is where you scare people about what you're going to do so you can get done what you need to do so Trump is saying he's going to deport 20 million people is exactly like what he said the first time and and the first time he ran I told you all don't worry about that he's not going to deport 20 million people he's going to get rid of the criminals if he can he's going to seal up the Border as well as he can and if you just get the flow down to you know some reasonable level we'll be fine then then it be goes from a big problem to a small problem it doesn't really need to be 100% solved it just needs to go from a big problem to a small one so sure enough Trump gets in he does a good job of you know closing the uh at least the flow and uh round It Up by bunch of criminals and by the end of his term how many of you were saying damn it if only he'd sent back 10 million more people not me I I I didn't miss I didn't miss the deportations and so I assume in the real world because this is the way the real world always works that Trump will focus like a laser on the criminals he will he will put all the resources on the Venezuelan gangs and it will take four years to get rid of them and if he seals the border at the same time and ends all these amnesty things and maybe maybe he says something like if he came in illegally during this time you can't vote or you'll never be able to vote or something um you're going to say oh well but we still have 20 million people living on the streets who are migrants and by the end of four years Trump will say no we don't because they all got absorbed they it turns out that they wanted to be here and there were employees who employers who wanted them to work and so that problem which is gigantic at the moment and an existential threat to the country at the moment would almost instantly become a medium-sized problem the moment you shut the border and you focus on getting rid of the criminals when you get rid of the criminals and if you successfully kept the Border you know nice and tight for four years do you think the country is going to say you failed because there's still 20 million people who are working for companies and paying taxes that you should have sent back probably not I don't know anybody would really care so I think that the Democrats are playing this game where they know full well that if you talk tough the people who were thinking of coming in during the Trump Administration will stay home don't you think he's already caused people to stay home of course he has he he's already he he's probably on the verge of ending three or four Wars just on the threat of him coming into office and he's almost certainly going to reduce the number of people there might be a a surge of people trying to get in before he takes office but there should be sort of automatic decrease in people willing to come in after some initial surge so those are your real world updates in the real world you can re-engineer you don't have to just get rid of stuff and in the real world you don't have to De Deport 20 million people and you can make everybody happy that's the weird part you can make me completely happy but at the moment I'm thinking you got 20 million too many people you you need to do something about those 20 million people but I'll be happy if they're working and you get rid of the criminals and close up the Border I can live with that um there's a question about whether the Federal Reserve should report to the president and whether the President should be able to fire that person there's been a long history of Independence and I'm in favor of Independence because it you know there there should be maybe some process for removing a Federal Reserve head maybe there is like an impeachment or something but I think it should only be in an emergency uh I don't think that the politicians opinion of what the interest rate should be should be somehow higher priority than the feds because the FED has that one job but the politician is also trying to get reelected so you don't want the person who wants to get reelected to say hey lower those interest rates when really we'd be better off with holding them higher for a little bit longer so I don't think I want Trump to have control over the FED uh I I think there's some you know there's going to be some disagreement on that but I feel like that would be a better Safeguard just have a little little distance there even if they're not doing exactly what you want well congratulations again to um America First legal you know that's uh the Trump friendly Legal Group that's U pressing every legal challenge that they can all over the country and they just won their lawsuit with uh with Ken Paxon so together with him uh so there were a correlation a coalition of 14 States and they officially stopped the Biden Harris administration's illegal attempt they say to Grant Mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens um good yeah now here's why I agree with this it has nothing to do with Amy it has everything to do with I don't really like the administration doing some big last minute thing that could affect me this way you know if it turned out that the Trump Administration looked at it and they said you know what after we've looked at all the ins and outs of this you know maybe we can grant some amnesty to some of these people I'd be okay with that but I feel like it needs to be a a trump decision not the the last minute nonsense done by the administration that's leaving so I would prefer it be decided differently have you heard about the 4B movement apparently it started in South Korea and it's a movement telling women to boycott men so in South Korea it's because they I guess theyve got a patriarchy that's a little too rapy and a little too anti-woman according to some women and so they started in South Korea this thing you know don't have sex with men and apparently this is spread to Tik Tock and it has to do with the election results not being the way they wanted it and so some women on Tik Tok are saying they should be like 4B and uh not mate or date or marry or sleep with any men and certainly don't have children with them it's called the 4B now would you like another dad joke we can we can uh yeah we can totally uh bookend this one more dad joke coming in hard so the 4B movement would decrease the number of children that people have I would say that the 4B is a case of 2B or not 2B no okay that was weak that wasn't the strongest ending I will give you that but you see the children would need be or they would they would not be okay if you have to explain it it's no good at all all right well ladies and gentlemen that is what I have for you again I I will point to if you just joined um my conversation with Naval ravikant is getting gigantic numbers of views it's pinned on my X profile but you can find it on You.
Tube and Rumble and if you're on locals you can see it and if you didn't know the dilber calendar which I'm going to be talking about a lot because it's November and uh so I just got an update they're they're doing the printing for the ones that have already been purchased if you've asked that question and didn't get an answer this is your answer they're printing them now so a week or two the first batches will come out we're trying to get everything out before Christmas obviously but I wouldn't wait too close to Christmas to get yours the only place you can get the Dilbert calendar is at the link dilbert.com so it's right at the top uh it's the only place you can't get it on Amazon can't get it in your bookstore to Make It in America we had to do it a different way I'll give you some more updates on that but that's all I've got for now locals I'm going to come talk to you privately everybody else thanks for joining I will see you tomorrow morning same time same place so have a good day all you You.
Tube and Rumble and X people locals I'm coming at you e e e e e e e e e e
it looks like the golden agees off a
good start if you're looking at the
stock
market but let's look at your
comments speaking
of carry
Lake they're trying to figure out
uh so here's here's the interesting
thing that's happening in Arizona with
the gyo carry Lake situation
um the the accusation from Liz
Harrington is quote you know why it's
taking so long they're trying to figure
out how to keep gyo below Trump but
higher than
Lake oh
man I I hate how true that
sounds but maybe we'll find out what's
what's true and what's
not but but first we're going to watch
this that's
weird I do not see my own show today on
locals come on
locals
huh
well that puts a little crimp in my game
because normally I look at my comments
separately on here
huh guess that's not going to
happen all right well I
tried good morning everybody and welcome
to the highlight of human civilization
it's called coffee with Scott Adams and
I guarantee there's never been a better
time in your whole
life um but if you'd like to take this
experience up to levels that you can't
even understand with your tiny shiny
human brain all you need is a cup or
muger a glass a tanker chin a canteen
sugar flask a vessel of any kind fill it
with your favorite liquid I like
coffee join me now for the unparallel
pleasure the dopamine of the day thing
that makes everything better it's called
the simultaneous happens now
ah so
good all right going try one more time
just to make
sure that the locals comments are up and
running why it's not showing up on my
phone is weird I don't know how you're
watching me if I'm on locals and I can't
see
myself how's that
possible must be some kind of update
okay seriously this isn't possible my
own
posts looking at the top looking at the
newest one I'm currently live 800 people
are watching and I'm the only person who
can't see my own show is that is this
really happening to
me like like I want to show it to you to
make sure that you can say that I'm the
only person who can't see my own show
because there are 800 of you that are
watching it on locals right now and I'm
on locals it's not there or it's not
where it's supposed to
be so
oh my God how could this
be there we go it's just way out of
place where it should have been there it
was we're all good
now well if you didn't hear about this
Intel who took away the coffee
privileges for its employees because the
company wasn't doing so well so they
said no more free coffee and snacks but
apparently that didn't go over well so
Business Insider says they're bringing
back free coffee that's right Intel is
bringing back free coffee to the
employees and do you know what I say
about
that Dad joke alert a dad joke will be
delivered momentarily if you don't like
Dad jokes cover your ear holes but for
the rest of you get ready for this
that's
right coffee is good when the chips are
down all right uh um I would like to
uh uh tell you a little story that makes
me feel good so this morning uh I do a
pre-show before I do the show that
you're watching now just for the
subscribers on the locals platform and
one of them told me this morning that he
uh saved a life with Naran so there was
a public transportation situation
somebody uh an addict some fentel addict
passed out was on the verge of dying and
someone who claims he learned about
Naran and what that's all about from my
podcasts and so someone that I told
about
Naran was in a situation where somebody
was about to die uh called out to find
if anybody had some Naran and somebody
did somebody was carrying so it was a
public situation and somebody was
carrying Narcan and they came came up
with it and the individual uh
administered it and actually felt the uh
the heart come back
on Save the
life so if you don't think podcasting is
important well there's one life
saved so Golden
Age yeah Daniel
Penny yeah we we need some Daniel
Penny Daniel penny needs to be freed we
we've got to make this a clean win for
the the golden
age anyway um but before that happens
did you hear about the uh there's a
small town that has some kind of a
research facility that was using monkeys
and 40 of the monkeys escaped on
Thursday so there were 40 monkeys on the
loose 38 of them allegedly voted
straight Democrat ticket so I think they
were just down for the week to do a
little voting but uh no I'm just joking
animals don't
vote
ever all right how many of you have seen
my conversation with Naval which is um
which was done the same way as these
live streams so it's on all the same
platforms you can see it on X it's
pinned it's pinned on my X platform and
on YouTube and Rumble and locals as well
now you have to look at if you think you
don't want to watch an
hourlong um conversation it's not
exactly an interview because neither of
us are too much into the you know the
format of an interview it's a
conversation but it's a conversation
with probably the most interesting
person in the
world so you should look at the comments
and if the first three that you see
don't tell you to spend an hour watching
it I'd be
surprised uh it it's it's already
lighting up the internet it's got like
half a million views since last
night so don't miss it nval ravikant
smartest person in the
world uh and uh he'll show you why
meanwhile trust in Physicians and
hospitals has decreased by 31% since
2020 oh surprise so there's very little
trust in hospitals and doctors these
days and I've said this before but I'll
say it again you may find yourself in a
situation where you need to explain to
your doctor that you trust your doctor
but you don't
necessarily uh trust the system that
constrains your doctor's choices so your
doctor is working under the the umbrella
of what will the insurance company back
you on you know if the insurance company
isn't going to back you on it better not
do it and most of them have bosses and
the bosses are big organizations have to
do what the government says or the big
farmer says or what somebody says so I'm
finding that it's useful to to set down
a standard that you believe that your
doctor is you know qualified person
doing the best they can means well but
you understand their
constrainted and that you're going to
have to work with that constraint and
that means that you might have to make
some decisions that are outside of of
their their narrow range of of
prescriptions now I hope I'm not giving
advice so because some of you killed by
ignoring your doctors don't do that
don't ignore your doctor but I do think
we're in an age where you can't just
automatically assume everything they
tell you is the right answer so maybe
the best advice I can give you is that
if you haven't at least gotten a second
opinion from
AI you should do that
uh you'd be surprised how good AI is on
the medical stuff already uh I would not
replace your real doctor with AI so
don't get me wrong it's not time to do
that but if you wanted a second opinion
such as let's say your doctor says take
a certain drug and you didn't hear any
side effects
mentioned you might want to you might
want to take look at the side effects
you know AI will help you a
lot speaking AI Jeff Bezos and others
have invested in this new robot company
it's called physical
intelligence and they're teaching their
robots to do physical things in the real
world such as chores and folding laundry
and such but what makes it different is
that the normal way to train your AI
would be large language model which
isn't going to help for physical tasks
but also just to look at a million
different things
and then from those million different
things try to you know duplicate it if
you whatever you need but if you take
something like folding laundry it's
never really exactly the same twice you
know every shirt's a little different
Etc so you need something that's a
little
smarter than just copying what had seen
before and so they've got some kind of
algorithm for physical
applications so they think they're
building a general purpose artificial
intelligence for physical
so instead of training your robot to do
something specific like do this exactly
robot like this somehow it can figure
out physical tasks and the smarter way
to do
them in any given situation it's never
seen before now if they can pull that
off holy
cow I don't know if they can but imagine
if they can pull that off that it can
understand its world the same way you do
and it wouldn't need to be trained on
anything it just has an algorithm that
manages the real
world so I could see why somebody Rich
would put some money in
that I've seen some smart people I think
Mark Andre and some others have said
that uh now with Trump in office and his
propensity to get rid of red tape and
regulations and of course Elon will be
getting in and you know doing his thing
that might reduce the government burden
on business and uh oh I didn't mention
this but in my conversation with Naval
ravikant he mentioned that he he put out
the word that he would be willing to
help in the Trump Administration and not
not I'm not talking about taking a
cabinet position but um maybe in the way
that elon's helping you know something
that he would be uniquely qualified to
do and he is uniquely qualified to do a
lot of things so if you ever wanted a
Dream
Team oh my goodness is the the Dream
Team coming together so there are some
predictions that our GDP could be insane
compared to what it has been in the past
you know inflation is always a problem
if that happens but that's a problem
I'll take because I think uh we're we
may be on the verge of a of an economic
boom like we've never seen the stock
market certainly think so I the I mean
the Market's just crazy last three
days well apparently Don Jr has floated
the idea with Alex Jones of uh some kind
of rotating press secretary thing where
Alex Jones would be the press secretary
but you know just for a month and then
then other somebody else would come in
now how do you like that
idea I think there probably still needs
to be a you know regular employee
press secretary but the idea of having
guest um
Spock it's a good idea and there's no
there's never been an idea that's more
perfectly trumpian is there you know the
greatest showman on Earth why would the
greatest showman on Earth be satisfied
with these press events that are the
most useless boring things on earth
greatest showman on Earth most boring
stupid useless process ever that you
seem you do anyway now in the past I
think he's just skipped them right
sometimes he just said ah it's not even
worth it I talk to the Press enough but
it seems to me the most perfectly
trumpian thing would be to figure out
how to make it
interesting and you do a little guest
guest
appearances and there's no way that the
news could not talk about it I'm seeing
Roseanne's name come up a number of
times can you even
imagine showing up you know for your job
you're just a reporter and you're just
going to hear this boring denial of
everything and then all of a sudden
Roseanne comes in with a binder and just
the energy in the room goes crazy
because they they thought they were
going to do something boring again but
Roseanne walks in and you're like I
don't know what's going to happen now
and suddenly it's you know it's it's
going to be a
headline one of the things that the news
tries to do or actually the politicians
try to do is uh fill all the the Shelf
space with stories that at least don't
hurt them and that would make at least
one story maybe once a week or more in
which the Press would just have to write
about it they just have to now they
probably find some way to you know say a
negative like oh he's not taking the job
seriously but I feel like they're over
that I I I think they know that he's he
wants to be president for being
president
reasons I think they finally figured he
actually just wants to do the job
right anyway uh Chief of Staff has been
chosen by Trump Susie Wilds I'd not
heard that name before but if you're on
X and you're seeing the comments from
people who have worked with her for a
long time I've never seen anything like
it I've never seen such a complete
endorsement of anybody politically or
for anything so whoever Susie WS is is
apparently very well regarded and
um I I guess it's a good pick everybody
who knows her says it's like home run
now here's what's fascinating about it
do you
remember me saying for the past at least
six months that the the Trump campaign
is that which is what she was doing she
was running his campaign that the the
Trump campaign was just so
obviously
well-run do you remember that and and I
kept commenting how you know you
sometimes if things are going well you
don't notice because usually you notice
mistakes but the lack of
mistakes that Trump
made
was it was indicative that there was
some kind of very powerful an effective
force that he was working with that was
balancing him just right so there was
something that was really really working
about the campaign and now now I think
we know what it was it was somebody who
already had a great reputation and took
that into the to the campaign did I mean
look at the
campaign it wasn't just
good it was maybe as good as anything
could be I mean it would be hard to
imagine doing better than he
did so boy is that a positive thing for
your golden age so to get a great chief
of staff that everybody respects and is
a real powerhouse is amazing now what
did I not
mention what's the dog not barking thing
not thing I didn't mention about that
story at
all first female chief of staff
St do you know why I do you know why I
didn't mention
it because I I'm going to call
it I'm just going to call it we're done
saying
that all right how about we're all
adults and we know that a woman can do a
job how about we stop saying the first
black this or that because again this
come as a shock to some of you black
people have
jobs right gay people have jobs it
doesn't have to be the first gay one
doesn't have to be the first woman
one so at the same
time that Trump is being accused by the
crazy left that maybe sexism is the
reason that KL Harris didn't become
president because they you know she
didn't she was discriminated against all
right keep that in your mind and then
look at the comments about Susie Wilds
from the people who know her and you ask
me you tell me if any Republicans are
showing some kind of
sexism
nope
capability capability capability that's
all they're talking about just totally
capable and the whole woman you know
first woman thing I I was waiting to see
if somebody would do it because I
thought in my mind mind I'm no historian
but I thought I can't remember a woman
being in that job I wonder if that's the
first and I was happy to say that it
wasn't the lead headline on every single
comment but somebody brought it up and
and I thought that was worth noting so
I'm going to note it as putting a period
in it how about we just say everybody
who's capable and good and smart can
have any kind of job that a capable good
smart person person can have and every
time we say but she's also a woman is
not helping women it's really not so
stop doing it and the way the way the
Trump campaign handled that as well as
the way it handled the campaign was by
staying away from all that identity
stuff and what happened by staying away
from the identity stuff Trump won a
surprising number of people who were
nonwhite
men just by not being one of those
people who had to talk about identity
all day long so he's definitely found
the the right let's say the feel of the
room you got the zuie is saying that
identity politics is dead I don't know
if it's dead dead but it's never going
to work
again maybe that's the same
thing anyway um I saw Jason from the
Allin pod Jason
uh I never know how to pronounce his
name so Jason if you're watching I
apologize uh kinus or
kenis he he he's famous enough that
people use his first name you know Jason
from the all-in Pod so he's got that
Madonna thing going
on K kinus or
calanus I can never I can never
remember oh anyway it's one of those um
but he was on the trigonometry podcast
and he said somewhat
cheekily uh I would say with a twinkle
in his eye that uh Trump won because
he's incredible at manipulating weak
dumb
people and now you could tell by the
look on his face when he said it that he
was being intentionally
provocative um but here's the thing he's
not
wrong he's not wrong the the public is
not filled with
Geniuses and they're not filled with you
know
Atlas strong
people the public needs leaders it needs
people who are stronger than they are
and in the opinion of the people being
led somebody who's got a better idea so
yes I mean those are the insulting words
to use for it that he's good at
manipulating weak dumb people but let me
give another word for it
leadership
leadership do you know who doesn't need
leadership uh brilliant strong
people but how many are there there
aren't that many brilliant strong people
you know we notice them whenever we see
them so no that's leadership you could
call it manipulating the dumb and weak
people or you could say he's showing
people
who are not as plugged in as he is and
not as strong where they should go and
they seem to enjoy that situation enough
to vote for him for a second time so
there's a fine fine line
between uh manipulating and Leadership
and I would say that the single defining
point the most important point is why
are you doing
it it's leadership if you're doing it
for everybody's benefit or the greater
good let's say
um and it's manipulating if you're just
doing it for your own benefit but the
president is the one job I think we
should all agree
on is so transparent that there is no
way to do a bad job as president and
then be happy about it when you're
done that's not a thing Joe Biden's you
know uh entire term is now a disgrace
basically because he couldn't keep it
together long enough to get a second
term and prevented KLA Harris from
having a you know the best chance she
could of winning or anybody else from
the best chance they have winning so
Biden by failing at that critical
decision Point knows that his legacy is
now half of what it could have been do
you think Trump wants a bad Legacy do do
you think he wants the Trump name to be
dragged through the toilet of history or
does he want to do the best job he could
right in front of you as transparently
as possible so that he doesn't have to
convince you it was a good job you saw
it
yourself to me it seems obvious that
he's deeply deeply motivated to do a
great job and anything short of that
would be disappointing to Trump I would
imagine certainly disappointing to his
supporters and his family we expect
great
things well Putin according to justtin
news uh Vladimir Putin described Trump
as a quot courageous man who was quote
hounded from all sides during the
presidential campaign and he
congratulated Trump on his
victory and uh Putin said quote he
behaved in my opinion in a very correct
way courageously like a real
man Putin said I take this opportunity
to congratulate him on his election he
said he's all all he is ready to speak
to Trump about the war in Ukraine quote
what was said about the desire to
restore relations with with Russia to
bring about the end of the Ukrainian
crisis in my opinion this deserves
attention at least said
Putin now you know how this is going to
be framed by the good guys and the bad
guys the bad
guys well let me not call them bad guys
let's let's just say in the spirit of
unity I'll say the Democrats for
now uh you know the Democrats are going
to say oh you're you're Putin's puppet
oh Trump why are you so nice to
dictators why are you being so good to
dictators and then all the people who
have any experience in business or any
experience in politics and have ever
negotiated anything are going to say uh
are you
all weak and dumb like Jason says
because let me explain how negotiating
works
first you listen listen to your person
you're negotiating with and you try to
agree with as much as possible so that
you're both shaking your heads yes
before you get to the hard stuff now
what would be the best way to bond you
know to to find something in common
between Putin and Trump which would make
both of them better at negotiating with
with each other which is your ideal
situation you don't want one of the
people to think they went away oh I got
you know bullied into something
something you want both of them to think
this is a good negotiation I'm going in
this strong I'm going in it against
somebody's strong we respect each other
we can say we can be honest you know
you're you're bad here you're good here
we like the good stop doing the
bad it's kind of a perfect situation so
I'm pretty sure that 100% of all the
people who have had experience in
negotiating and that used to be one of
my one of my corporate jobs was
negotiating with vendors over prices and
stuff and yeah this is a this is
negotiating
101 Trump should be saying that Putin's
a strong leader that Putin uh has been
maybe good for Russia that might be a
little too far but you can say good
things about
him um there's some talk about Trump may
be pardoning Hunter Biden because that
would be a good way to you know get some
Unity back
things um I don't think Hunters should
be pardoned in the at the same time
there are still legal risks lawfare
let's call it against Trump now there is
optimism that all of Trump's legal
problems will be um swept away and that
might happen but hasn't happened yet so
I think it's certainly premature to be
talking about any pardons but as Mike
Ben weighs in on this he said talking
about the hunter by pardon he said I'm
actually okay with this on the condition
that Hunter becomes a federal informant
for six months and tells the Trump dog
every federal crime committed by the CIA
state department and some other
groups and and gives gives the comms now
I don't think there's any chance in the
world that Hunter Biden could roll over
on the CIA and the Atlantic Council and
uh anybody else cuz I think literally he
would be killed you know if there's
anything there that that really needs to
be HD I think he would actually be
killed uh like literally no joke no
hyperbole I think you would be killed so
I don't think there's really a chance of
that
um so it's too bad I I have uh there's
definitely a strong part of me that
would like the hunter Biden thing to be
wrapped up and and maybe it's a of the
country to say can we get past this and
just you know take care of business this
is the past he was a drug addict maybe
he did some illegal money laundering
Ukraine things but we don't have to
worry about it
now we're past it so I mean you don't
you don't need to give somebody a pardon
unless they actually did something that
is jailable and it looks like maybe
there's some jailable things in there if
you look hard enough I don't know so so
I guess I'm on the fense on this one um
but definitely no As Long As Trump is
still in lawfare
territory um so as a fisher king points
s an x uh that winning the popular vote
was a pretty big deal and we have the
blue states to thank for that because it
means that a lot of people like me got
people to vote in California
and I voted for the first time in memory
um because we knew that winning the
popular vote changed
everything I did not want to be in a
situation where Trump won the you know
the electoral vote but not the popular
vote that was not where I wanted to be
at all and I think that some of the
reason that Democrats are
quiet is because there is no strategy
that cleanly gets you past the fact that
a majority of Americans who
voted were on the other side and think
you did a bad job and you your package
of policies wasn't good enough now if it
were not the majority at the same time
that the major media is on the is in
favor of
Democrats I mean that's a hell of a
message just think think of waking up
imagine this imagine you you went to to
sleep and when you went to sleep you
were the moral authority of the country
you were the good guys not only were you
the good moral ethical authority of the
country because you're a good Democrat
unlike those terrible terrible magga
people but you were also in the majority
so you were the good people and you were
in the majority and then you wake up and
you find out you're not in the
majority and there was a good reason for
it you weren't the good people after
all because you were the ones pushing
the wokeness and the lies and then you
watched your leaders the same leaders
who told you that if Trump became
elected he would be Hiller like actually
literally like Hiller he would round up
people in camps and all this and then
one minute after the polls call the the
winner those same Dem rats who told you
with serious
faces you're all going to be rounded up
they all said well peaceful transfer of
power I guess the system worked better
luck next time and then tens of millions
of Democrats said wait a minute how do
you square that how does Peaceful
transfer of power ever hook up with
we're electing
Hitler that's the wrong answer if he's
really Hitler you should not be bragging
about a peaceful transfer of power you
should be talking about your underground
resistance which will try to you know
kill them as soon as they can now of
course I'm against that no violence
please but the point is at least that
would be consistent if the things you
told your own people were anywhere near
true you should not be rolling over and
accepting this new dictator for a
day so I think that this
spell maybe got
broken and I saw some some more talk
today about the fine people HS changing
somebody's mind and how much it broke
their brain um I forget who it was I'll
get to it but think about how important
the winning the um the actual total vote
was not just the elector vote being the
majority by like a solid five million or
whatever it is now changes
everything it you you can no longer see
yourself as the safe reasonable people
who are trying to protect the world from
these you know these weirdos who have
weird opinions it turns out that the
weirdos were the
majority literally the weirdos remember
remember when wals and klet had this
brilliant idea that they'll call the
Trump supporters
weirdos why do you call people
weirdos it's only because you think
they're the
minority turns out there were more
weirdos than there were anti-
weirdos I love my weirdos by the way
more weirdos please the more the
better oh you got a winner in
Pennsylvania Senate winner
good
anyway let's see else has happened here
um so this is what uh so Colin rug did a
good job of summarizing on X the things
that Trump said he had 10 things he
wants to do
to effectively get rid of the deep state
so I think it's worth reading all 10 of
them to you so I won't go into detail
but just get a sense of what Trump said
now here's the thing I love about Trump
and one of the things he got right the
first time first time he ran as soon as
he was elected he started doing
presidential
stuff like he didn't wait until he was
sworn it like anything he could do
legally that was presidential like he
visited the Ford and some other plant
and tried to keep American jobs here and
and it was just sort of brilliant
because it gave you a first look at what
a trump presidency would look like and
you're like oh wow he's already on the
job he's definitely putting in the work
for me I like that so here he is again
telling you what he has in store and
he's very specific that's 10 things here
they
are uh immediately
reissue his 2020 executive order
restoring the president's authority to
remove Rogue
bureaucrats I didn't know he couldn't do
that but apparently there must have been
some employee protection or something
but uh he can remove Rogue bureaucrats
he wants to clean out all the corrupt
actors in our national security and
intelligence apparatus I don't know how
you do that exactly but I agree it has
to be
done he wants to totally reform the fisa
courts which are so corrupt he says that
the judges seemingly do not care when
they're lied to in warrant
applications that I mean I think they do
care but they act like they don't care
because they Grant pretty much
anything um here's number four listen to
this one you ready for this this is
number four on his
list expose the hoaxes and abuses of
power that have been tearing our country
apart there it
is there it
is yeah how about exposing the hoaxes I
remind you that the American debunk dcom
page is a really well done professional
page of uh Trump hoaxes being
debunked so there is already a mechanism
for that he just needs to send enough
eyeballs to
it and I love the fact that it's an
enumerated top 10 thing because if you
don't take out the the hoaxes and the
abuses of power the hoaxes are the part
that I care about the
most if you don't get take care of the
hoaxes then the Democrats can build back
their hoax uracy which has
temporarily um
collapsed so at the moment there are a
whole bunch of Democrats saying to
themselves and each other did we get
everything
wrong Char Charline the God for example
is saying that uh Democrats read the
room wrong there must be a lot of Voters
who were saying the same things like did
we did we read everything in the country
wrong and the answer is yes yes if they
thought they were the majority and they
were on on the side of the Angels yes
they read the room wrong very
wrong all right number five launch a
major Crackdown on government
leakers who collude with the fake
news um I like that because that's again
going after the hoaxes make every
inspector General's Office Independent
and physically
separated from the Departments they
oversee that seems like a pretty smart
structural
change seven asked Congress to establish
an independent auditing system to
continually monitor our intelligence
agencies to ensure they're not spying on
our citizens or running disinformation
campaigns against the American people or
that they are not spying on someone's
campaign like they spied in my
campaign I like that he likes to work
that in there he likes to work in the
the shiv his list of top 10
um I I think that's where worth
trying but isn't the whole point of a
spy agency that you you can lie
even to people in your own country I
mean is the CIA supposed to tell people
the exact truth all the time I don't
know how that works because because I
would think if you create an
organization whose job is to
lie for the benefit of the country then
they could lie anytime they had an
argument that may it's for the benefit
of the country so I don't know how that
works so maybe there's a way to audit
them it's worth a
try number eight continue the effort
launched by the Trump admin to move
parts of the sprawling Federal
bureaucracy to new locations outside of
the Washington
swamp that feels like a a solution that
people who are smarter and more
well-informed than I am would say that's
a good idea I guess if you just move
them physically there's less swampy
connections and I could see how that
would be
true uh but I'd have to see it work to
know it's a solution because I feel like
the swamp can follow you you know we
have phones and zoom and stuff so I
don't know maybe if you can't have lunch
with the rest of the swamp it doesn't
get to you but it's worth a try it's
worth a
try
um how about number n work to ban
Federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at
the companies they deal with and that
they regulate you know that's a tough
one um I think everybody thinks that
that makes the country at risk when the
people are doing the regulating are too
cozy with the the industry that they're
regulating on the other hand you want
people who are so well connected that
the Pharma industry would want to hire
them as soon as they could
so there's there's part of me that
wishes there was some way to solve this
without reducing the rights of people to
work where they want to work you know
you know how non-compete Agreements are
usually I think this is true I think
they're usually thrown out by courts you
know your employer can't tell you not to
work for the competition I think it
might depend on certain situations or
states or something but I don't love
anything that limits where I can go to
work
but on the other
hand if The Regulators are too cozy with
the regulated then the whole thing falls
apart so I guess tentatively this would
be one thing that I would also be in
favor of but I would say that for for
for having 10 things on his list I'll
get to the last one last one's push a
constitutional amendment to oppose to
oppose not to oppose to put term limits
on Congress I don't think there's any
chance of term limits but these are 10
things
which most of them look good at the
first look and several of them look like
something that's worth trying and then
if it doesn't work adjust that's that's
how the whole country should work try
something it looks like a good idea it
looks like it solves the problem if it
doesn't work pull it back do it again
America is really good at at uh you know
canning the stuff that didn't work
it's sort of a superpower we have so
yeah let's try some
stuff um Trump also vowed separately to
put on the first day to end a gender
affirming care now that's the the
Democrats call it gender affirming care
Republicans call it mutilating um young
people uh we don't need to get into that
debate except to say that it was a very
po popular common opinion that children
should be exempt from the transitioning
I think that the what what is the
national approval for blocking children
from transitioning like 70 or 80% 90% it
was way up there it's like crazy popular
so yeah do do that right away so again
this was something that Trump could do
on day one
literally
um that would look like he's really
getting stuff done and the golden age is
coming and things are
working Mike Benz again um he had an
really interesting idea because as you
know he's described uh over the past few
years the
censorship um Network the web of
censorship uh non-government
organizations so there are all these
entities that are not part of the
government but in many cases our
government as well as others other
entities fund
them so some of the things we fund are
are these disinformation censorship
people that really are more like
censorship and so he's so what Mike Ben
says is if you that you could you
couldn't totally dismantle that system
but you could give it something like a
you know an almost lethal blow with one
ex executive order that would prohibit
funding by any government agency to any
outside group involved in regulating
flagging or down ring so-called
disinformation because you know that
turns into
censorship now how good an idea is
that like really good now let me teach
you something about the Trump
Administration I'm going to say this
with confidence without knowing
yet if I'm right remember I always tell
you that the person with the best ideas
in
charge it's just always true if if
you're the junior person at the meeting
but when your turn comes to talk you
have the best idea well if people
recognize it as the best idea I guess
you were in charge even though you're
the junior person and this is one of
those clean examples I think and what
makes it a clean example is that when
you read it you say to yourself yeah of
course of course yeah take the funding
away from people who are trying to
censor Americans we have free speech so
this is just a plain good idea with a
very specific mechanism which doesn't
cost much of anything in executive order
and it would be just a huge blow to a
big part of the disinformation fabric
now here's my
prediction my prediction is because I've
been saying this a lot
that the Trump Administration is better
than probably any Administration ever at
reading the room and also
accepting um suggestions that come from
good sources so when Elon Musk says you
know what if you let me I can take a
bunch of money out of the government
what does Trump say does Trump say oh no
that will be taking the the uh the
Limelight away from me I can't have you
getting in there no he says really Elon
Musk the guy who took 80% of the
employees out Twitter and increased the
number of features he's willing to work
for
free he has all the credibility of you
know the
public and he can do this thing which
desper really needs to be
done
yes yes yes you know the Democrats are
talking to Beyonce they can't even get
Beyonce the
same right and and Trump's got he's got
people like naal and Elon Musk and you
know a whole bunch of others just
volunteering to do the most important
work that needs to be done RFK
Jr he he just comes and says you know
the food supply is poison uh our big
Pharma is all messed up if you let me I
can fix all that what does Trump say oh
no I could never work with the Democrat
no nope oh no there was that one time
you said that thing that I disagreed
with
no he just said wait what is it you want
to do you want to fix our food supply
and fix how Pharma gets decided so that
science is more prominent than that
that's a good idea go do
that so I'm going to
predict that this will make its way to
the Trump
Administration that they will be looking
for good ideas to do right away and that
I would be surprised if this doesn't
happen so I want you to watch for it
because I I want you to see your
government at work so Mike Ben has very
good reputation you know among at least
the right uh as being a really solid
smart Source you know so if he says this
is a good
idea I feel like I'm pretty certain it
is and I think that the Trump
Administration would have the same impr
like oh wow really we could get all that
done with one executive order let's
let's run that up the flag poow see if
it see if it works so watch this one
just watch if this good idea gets
translated into
policy well as you might imagine and
wired is reporting um that the left is
uh complaining that maybe the election
was rigged because how in the world
could all those votes be missing
you know they're looking for their own
missing votes because Kamala didn't get
so far they haven't haven't finished
counting the votes but if in the the
uncounted semic counted votes is lower
now here's the funny
part my understanding is that there is a
Russian inspired hoax that says there
are 20 million or maybe 14 or 15 million
votes that are sort of missing meaning
that they were people that allegedly
voted in 2020 for Biden that didn't show
up for
Harris where would they be you know that
it's it would be very uncommon to go
down 15 million votes from the election
before especially if it's the vice
president from the same
Administration like it should have been
pretty close now the reason that's a
hoax and this is my understanding is
that it's when all the votes are
counted it's going to be about what it
was the last
time now why that seems so off is that
some of the blue states where the the
outcome of the least of the presidential
election is obvious like you don't have
to finish counting in California to call
the state for for uh for Harris right
you don't have to finish counting in New
York and since there's such big
populations you know if you're only 75
5% done counting you've got several
million sitting there that are just just
waiting to be counted but there's no
there's no problem with it they're just
waiting to be counted
now um if they were the states that were
close that that would be a whole
different suspicion but if it's the
states that you already know where
they're going and nobody's questioning
it's a blue State and it's going blue
and they haven't finish
counting H you know we we might end up
with the same number but what's fun
about this is that apparently is it's
the first hoax that worked on both sides
because the the Republicans and even in
the comments people are putting it in
putting it in the comments because they
think it's
real so the so Republicans are saying
aha we have now proven that 2020 must
have been fake because all those votes
are missing they're not missing okay so
just to be clear there aren't any votes
missing that we know of they just
haven't all been counted but at the same
time according to wired the people on
the left are saying this election must
be rigged because there are 15 million
votes
missing so somehow if Russia really did
this and again I don't believe any of
the Russian stories some of them are
going to be true but just automatically
I don't believe anything about Russia oh
Russia did it Russia did it Russia all
right right but this would be one of the
best the best pranks anybody did if you
could get both Ides to think it may that
it means the election was rigged for the
other pretty clever Putin if you're
behind
that well as others have mentioned when
Joe Biden addressed the nation after
Trump's win we've never seen Joe Biden
look
happier you know I saw the comments
about it before I saw him and I thought
oh you're you're just being political so
you're sort of having fun with it and
you're just pretending like he's happy
but when I look at him he will not he
will not be any more or less happy than
he ever is he'll be spewing the F people
Oaks Etc and then I watched
it he is happier than I've ever seen
[Laughter]
him he couldn't even freaking hide it he
couldn't even hide how happy he
is and that to me that's
hilarious
hilarious but but here's the thing
that's deprogramming his side as I
mentioned earlier imagine you're you're
uh you're a Democrat and you supported
Biden and you especially sported him
because he ran on the fine people story
which was a hoax but if you didn't know
it you thought my God I can't have Trump
in charge he called neo-nazis Fine
people now Biden said it said that Trump
said it but of course it never happened
he said the opposite he disavowed them
uh and
and so so Biden runs for office because
he's running against Hitler and then
it's the moment Hitler gets elected
here's Biden ah it's a good day oh you
know peaceful transfer power how you
doing hey you in the front is that the
way you act when Hitler comes to
power it is so obvious and it has to be
obvious to the Democrats
themselves that their leadership was not
just lying but it was the big
lie yeah the the very thing that they
were accusing Trump of the big lie was
at you know Trump's Hiller and they
backed off of the LIE the very minute
they had to become consistent with their
idea of a peaceful transfer of power you
know they realized they were in a trap
they had to act like that was
something
unbelievable anyway there are two real
world
maybe three three real world things that
you need to know number one all data is
fake all date is fake that matters if it
doesn't matter or if it's just some
engineering calculation that might be
real but in the political realm it's all
fake so to those of you who keep sending
me the graph of all those alleged
missing votes and by the way there might
be some missing votes I'm not saying
there isn't what I'm saying is that if
you believed
data in the middle of the fog of the
election war that was
mistake and again I have to be careful
it could be that the information you
have is correct that there are missing
votes but if you believed
it because you saw a graph or you saw a
social media post about it in the middle
of the fog of the election then you you
made a
mistake you made a mistake it was too
soon to be confident about
that now that doesn't mean it's not true
it doesn't mean that we'll will never
find any problems with this election
that part I don't know I'm saying that
if you have confidence that you're sure
those 20 million now it's like
everything else is fake all data is fake
this is probably more of it we'll find
out um here's another real world
update I said this before but it fits in
my list well
when when Elon Musk or RFK Jr talk about
getting rid of parts of the government
that you think are protecting you like
FDA or CDC or anything else they don't
necessarily mean that the government
doesn't do that work it may be that
you've got two departments and it makes
more sense that it all happens in one
right so then you're getting rid of a
department but you're not getting rid of
the thing so if if you do what what a
Elon Musk would do because of his
engineering mind or what somebody like
nval would do they wouldn't say how do
we tweak this thing the way it is they'd
say if we were building it from scratch
what would it look like and if the way
it is now is not the way it would look
like if you were to build it ideally
from scratch well then maybe you make
some big
changes um the other thing is that the
deportation question I keep
watching Republican after Republican
falling off a cliff because the Democrat
media is saying this so how in the world
can Trump Deport 20 million people it
would be chaos you know the families
would be broken up and all these
things let me describe the real
world the real world is where you scare
people about what you're going to do so
you can get done what you need to
do so Trump is saying he's going to
deport 20 million people is exactly like
what he said the first
time and and the first time he ran I
told you all don't worry about that he's
not going to deport 20 million people
he's going to get rid of the criminals
if he can he's going to seal up the
Border as well as he can and if you just
get the flow down to you know some
reasonable
level we'll be fine then then it be goes
from a big problem to a small problem it
doesn't really need to be 100% solved it
just needs to go from a big problem to a
small one so sure enough Trump gets in
he does a good job of you know closing
the uh at least the
flow and uh round It Up by bunch of
criminals and by the end of his term how
many of you were saying damn it if only
he'd sent back 10 million more
people not
me I I I didn't miss I didn't miss the
deportations and so I assume in the real
world because this is the way the real
world always works that Trump will focus
like a laser on the criminals he will he
will put all the resources on the
Venezuelan gangs and it will take four
years to get rid of them and if he seals
the border at the same time and ends all
these amnesty things and maybe maybe he
says something like if he came in
illegally during this time you can't
vote or you'll never be able to vote or
something um you're going to say oh well
but we still have 20 million people
living on the streets who are migrants
and by the end of four years Trump will
say no we don't because they all got
absorbed they it turns out that they
wanted to be here and there were
employees who employers who wanted them
to work and so that problem which is
gigantic at the moment and an
existential threat to the country at the
moment would almost instantly become a
medium-sized problem the moment you shut
the border and you focus on getting rid
of the criminals when you get rid of the
criminals and if you successfully kept
the Border you know nice and tight for
four years do you think the country is
going to say you failed because there's
still 20 million people who are working
for companies and paying
taxes that you should have sent
back probably
not I don't know anybody would really
care so I think that the Democrats are
playing this game where they know full
well that if you talk tough the people
who were thinking of coming in during
the Trump Administration will stay home
don't you think he's already caused
people to stay home of course he has he
he's already he he's probably on the
verge of ending three or four Wars just
on the threat of him coming into office
and he's almost certainly going to
reduce the number of people there might
be a a surge of people trying to get in
before he takes office but there should
be sort of automatic decrease in people
willing to come in after some initial
surge so those are your real world
updates in the real world you can
re-engineer you don't have to just get
rid of stuff and in the real world you
don't have to De Deport 20 million
people and you can make everybody happy
that's the weird part you can make me
completely happy but at the moment I'm
thinking you got 20 million too many
people you you need to do something
about those 20 million people but I'll
be happy if they're working and you get
rid of the criminals and close up the
Border I can live with
that um there's a question about whether
the Federal Reserve should report to the
president and whether the President
should be able to fire that person
there's been a long history of
Independence and I'm in favor of
Independence because it you know there
there should be maybe some process for
removing a Federal Reserve head maybe
there is like an impeachment or
something but I think it should only be
in an
emergency uh I don't think that the
politicians opinion of what the interest
rate should be should be
somehow higher priority than the feds
because the FED has that one job but the
politician is also trying to get
reelected so you don't want the person
who wants to get reelected to say hey
lower those interest rates when really
we'd be better off with holding them
higher for a little bit longer so I
don't think I want Trump to have control
over the
FED uh I I think there's some you know
there's going to be some disagreement on
that but I feel like that would be a
better Safeguard just have a little
little distance there even if they're
not doing exactly what you want well
congratulations again
to um America First legal you know
that's uh the Trump friendly Legal Group
that's U pressing every legal challenge
that they can all over the
country and they just won their lawsuit
with uh with Ken Paxon so together with
him uh so there were a correlation a
coalition of 14 States and they
officially stopped the Biden Harris
administration's illegal attempt they
say to Grant Mass amnesty to hundreds of
thousands of illegal
aliens um good yeah now here's why I
agree with
this it has nothing to do with
Amy it has everything to do with I don't
really like the administration doing
some big last minute thing that could
affect me this way you know if it turned
out that the Trump Administration looked
at it and they said you know what after
we've looked at all the ins and outs of
this you know maybe we can grant some
amnesty to some of these people I'd be
okay with that but I feel like it needs
to be
a a trump decision not the the last
minute nonsense done by the
administration that's
leaving so I would prefer it be decided
differently have you heard about the 4B
movement apparently it started in South
Korea and it's a movement telling women
to boycott men so in South Korea it's
because they I guess theyve got a
patriarchy that's a little too rapy and
a little too anti-woman according to
some women and so they started in South
Korea this thing you know don't have sex
with
men and apparently this is spread to Tik
Tock and it has to do with the election
results not being the way they wanted it
and so some women on Tik Tok are saying
they should be like
4B and uh not mate or date or marry or
sleep with any men and certainly don't
have children with them it's called the
4B
now would you like another dad joke we
can we can uh yeah we can totally uh
bookend this one more dad joke coming in
hard so the 4B movement would decrease
the number of children that people have
I would say that the 4B is a case of 2B
or not
2B
no okay that was weak that wasn't the
strongest ending I will give you that
but you see the children would need be
or they would they would not
be okay if you have to explain it it's
no good at
all all right well ladies and
gentlemen that is what I have for you
again I I will point to if you just
