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

joined um my conversation with Naval
