Episode 2658 CWSA 11/13/24

take a quick look not bad not bad looks like we're up again good job stock market but I know why you're here you're here for a show and as soon as I got my comments working we're going to give you one it's going to be amazing best you've ever seen yeah we go stream on in here will you the golden age is about to begin good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization in the midst of the burgeoning golden age if you think this is the top experience you could possibly have well you might be wrong because there's a way to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains for that all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tankered Shel or Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here in the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go oh that's good that's good well today's the day uh Congress is going to hear from some UAP testimonies you know the uaps that used to be UFOs that used to be hoaxes but now people think that not only are there i.

Cal devices flying through the air but the ocean is probably just full of them full of them uaps now I don't know what we're going to find out about the uaps um uh I'm going to go on record with my prediction my prediction is there's no such thing as uaps no well let me put it this way my prediction is there's no other intelligent entity operating Advanced vehicles either in the ocean or the atmosphere of the world I don't believe it not even a little bit I'm not even slightly like leaning toward it or anything I don't think there's any truth to it now what is the truth why is it that so many credible seeming people believe they've seen something they probably have seen something I just think it's probably some kind of Illusion or you know mechanical error or you know in a few cases maybe people have false memories um they're different situations but the only thing I'm sure of is that it's not real however if you're following the Dilbert comic strip I can guarantee you that dogbert will be having some Joy rides in his UAP and uh well I'll give you the cartoon version of what's happening and that's only if you're subscribing at the locals at locals Scott adams.

locals.com or you're following Dilbert on the xplatform if you're subscribing here's some news from Neuroscience news did you know that chronic inflammation is linked to depression not just that the depression causes the inflammation but rather the inflammation seems to cause the depression now they could have done that study or they could have just asked me because I've been telling you for a while that hey I think inflammation is causing depression how many of you heard there from me before there was a study that says you know what inflammation seems to cause depression now in addition to inflammation causing depression I'm pretty sure that Just Energy in general just your health in general but also your energy is probably linked to depression um that seems pretty clear to me now again this comes under the category of your brain your your body is your brain right there was some study I didn't tell you about that had some idea that memory is stored in other parts of your body okay but uh if you know that the other parts of your body can affect how your brain is thinking and that seems to be the case just think of your body as your brain so when I there there was a strategy I had when I was very young that if I had a lifelong habit of exercise I would be smarter when I was older that was literally a lifetime strategy so in my teens probably probably in my teens I decided that I didn't want to be uh dumb and you know have mental problems when I'm 60 so I said huh you mean all I have to do is exercise on a regular basis which I kind of like anyway and then my brain will be better for the last part of my life yes yes that's exactly what works also there's an app Neuroscience news says that there somebody tested an app that would keep you from ruminating ruminating you know thinking about yourself and your problems well we have found that that also reduces depression so the more you think about people and things outside yourself the happier you will be now I've said this a few times but I don't know if you if you can realize how deep this is as an explanation of our uh political situation does it seem to you that Republicans are like happy Warriors and does it seem to you that the Democrats seem and again this is oversimplification and you know stereotype so it doesn't apply to every single person obviously but it doesn't seem to you that on average the Democrats seem sad and depressed and and indeed this evidence shows that have far more therapy far more prescription drugs to help them with their mental problems now if the only thing I told you was that the um the Republicans are focused on the well-being of their family they're focused on their God and they're focused on their country those are all external th those are the three healthiest things you could ever think about thinking about your family's well-being your God and your country that's like a recipe for good mental health right there now take the Democrat um approach that identity is sort of the the beginning place you know the the beginning of your journey and then everything is about what's different about you oh what's different about my experience let's talk about my lived experience it's all about you which we know gives you mental health problems now let's not pretend that there's any mystery about this anymore this is a very clean scientifically completely um supported opinion Am I Wrong I'd love to see in the comments whether that's resonating that the Republican point of view is external and and they tend to be happy Warriors just like the science says they should and then the the the narcissistic and uh not have any kids and I'm going to shave my head because everything is about me and it's about my identity and that those people are depressed as hell and they don't understand even what's happening in the world they're like why why are things happening like this that might be your whole explanation so imagine if you would people always ask me Scott you're a hypnotist and you talk about persuasion how can we persuade the people on the left to be less crazy and really it is crazy because even their their point of view about how to do policy you look at it and you go I don't know that looks a little crazy I'm not even sure that's worth discussing so suppose the way you suppose I'll just put this out as a hypothesis suppose the way you helped the people on the left is not to try to talk about their political opinions because you know that's a waste of time right suppose the only thing you did was train them to think externally and train them to put their interests outside of their own body what would happen would would they turn into Republicans automatically and then they wouldn't even know why I don't know but but if it made him happier that'd be worth doing you know look let me let me say this clearly in case there's even one Democrat listening as much as we have fun with politics and you know it's fun to dunk on the other team and stuff because there's a team sport part of the politics I really do want the Democrats to do well let me say that let me say that unambiguously in my perfect world the Democrats are thriving they're getting everything they want you know that doesn't hurt me and and they're having a terrific time with life that's what I want so let's see if we can get there so now we have several ways to reduce depression we know exercise does it we know thinking about yourself less is good for your mental health reducing inflammation is good somebody said some things about diet that's probably good too meanwhile over in China they have not only developed uh military robot dogs but they're training their military robot dogs to operate like a wolf pack so that the the military dogs will operate you know in a coordinated fashion I can't think of too many things scarier than robot dog wolves that just sounds like the scariest thing you could think of because if a if a real wolf pack attacked you you would at least have some chance of using psychology against it right like suppose a real wolfback came after you you'd like maybe you'd fire gun and they scare them away you maybe there' be a a fire or something you could you know wave the fire at them and scare them away you know there might be some psychology you could use with Wolves but you're not going to use any psychology with a robot wolf back if that stuff comes out you you might as well just make your peace with the world the only thing I'm worried about is can they swim if they can't swim the United States has a few more good years ahead of it but if those robot dogs start swimming toward from Mainland CH China toward California I'm going to start running all right there's a new technology that turns a jet engines uh more efficient uses electricity to to directly create thrusts so normally electricity doesn't create jet engine thrust but now they've got a way to do it with plasma but I was reading through the technique of how they did it and I realized that the technology was written Like a Porn novel so I'm going to read you the technology involved in turning electricity into a plasma jet engine but I'm going to read it like it's a a sexual piece okay you ready for this ionization inside the chamber the highfrequency microwaves excite the air molecules stripping electrons from the atoms and creating a plasma State the resulting plasma reaches temperatures exceeding several thousand degrees C and then comes the jet thrust the high temperature plasma rapidly expands as it exits the ionization chamber the expansion produces a jet thrust capable of lifting a 1 kg steel ball demonstrating thrust comparable to Conventional jet engines whoa that's some good technology right there okay concentrate Scott concentrate well the uh Daniel Penny trial continues the the hero who stopped a dangerous man from hurting people on a on a subway and the witness who helped him most closely the person who helped Daniel Penny uh hold down the other guy um is giving some testimony that seems very positive and that that guy did not seem to see he did not say or observe that he was that Penny was holding him in a dangerous way in fact at one point he me he he was helping him hold arms so he could hold them looser and at one point he said maybe maybe should hold them tighter so there was one very close witness who literally was handson you know holding the same body at the same time who is as close to Daniel peny as I am to my microphone and in his opinion he wasn't holding him so tight that it was some dangerous situation now how does he not go free seriously the guy who was on the body at the same time who was charged with nothing cuz the other guy was holding his hands right that's the only person I want to hear from if if the person who was on the body now that guy first of all that guy deserves credit because he got involved he he could have been charged I'm I'm not in I'm not exactly sure why he wasn't because if Daniel peny was holding the guy in a deadly way the person who is helping him hold him in a deadly way it feels like that should be chargeable I'm glad it isn't I'm very glad it isn't but if that's the guy because he's credible right the the guy who steps in to help because he stepped in to help not just the people on the you know the people were threatened on the train he stepped in to help the guy who was the victim because holding his hands was the safest thing you could have done to the victim so that guy has credibility with me he he's no ex no evidence that he's a liar no evidence he has the wrong motivations and his the evidence shows that he wants to get involved for the public to benefit the public I'll listen to him so I got to tell you the golden age is waiting for one more Penny to drop you know what I mean I feel like the golden age is g to happen but we need this the golden a the Golden Age requires that Daniel Penny goes free so let's drop the final Penny on this huh let's do this I'm depending on you jury core inflation is exactly what people estimated at 3.3 that's about a non story just staying where it was now prices are too high of course on the news they like to confuse you the current inflation is not too terrible but we' already reached a level where you can't afford your eggs so another 3% on that is not going to help you at all so it's not really that helpful that inflation rate uh has stopped going up fast you also need the prices to come down all right uh according to financial expert Ed Dow zero Hedges reporting this um Dow says that Trump just got handed a third of an economy in fraudulent books so his idea is that he can predict based on things he's seeing already that the economy is actually in deep trouble and the Democrats are lucky that they got out of office and Trump is going to have to handle it now do you think it's true that there are troubling signs sort of below the headline level of the economy you know the headline is jobs and inflation and GDP but below that there could be a whole bunch of indicators that are kind of sign sending the alarm well yes and no have you ever noticed that economists cannot predict the future has anybody noticed that economists as a group and even individually cannot predict the future if they could they would not be working as economists because they would already be billionaire investors right it would be the easiest thing in the world if you really could tell what was going to happen in the future and other people couldn't you would be Warren Buffett but if you're not Warren Buffett and you're telling me you can see the future I've got questions like is it the first time we've ever seen the future those other times you saw the future did you in invest heavily in it I'm not so sure so I don't trust any Economist telling you that they can see the the the signs that doesn't mean he's wrong because your economy is either going to go up or it's going to go down it it rarely just you know bubbles along at the same level it's an up or down situation so everybody who says it's going to go up has a good chance of being right everybody who says it's going to go down has a pretty good chance of being right right some of them will be right here's what you don't want to do say oh that Economist was right I guess I better listen to him the next time nope nope no doesn't work that way didn't work that way for the pandemic either somebody was going to be right and somebody was going to be wrong about let's say the vaccinations or or any part of it the The Masks anything somebody was going to be right because they were all yes no masks work yes or no no vaccinations are good for the public at large yes or no all right there's some questions about kids but basically these are yes or no questions somebody's going to be right and they're going to tell you they were right because they saw the signs and you did not that doesn't mean they know that that's why they were right if it's a coin flip somebody's going to be right and they're going to claim credit for it so beware of economists who tell you they got it right last time doesn't mean a thing somebody was going to get it right and they were going to say they got it right because they're smarter and they can predict it better next time it's just not a thing nobody can see the future all right but on uh but on that note bill Amman said for the contrarian opinion that he's hearing from everybody including people who did not support Trump that they've never felt so optimistic about the country or the economy now I think feel that I feel more optimism about America and about our economy than at any time in my life now how much of that is just the Trump persuasion magic how much of it is me talking myself into it because you know it's confirmation bias and I want it to be true and how much of it is it's just true now when Bill akman talks to other people especially the ones who are not Trump supporters if you if you're getting a lot of not Trump supporters who are so optimistic they're driving the stock market up which they are that is a really strong indication of what the economists call the animal spirits the animal spirits I guess would be best described as just the way everybody feels about the future not their logic but how they feel about it and the way people feel about it is that all possibility is just became options we went from a place where it seemed we had no no options and no possibilities to anything's possible if Pete Heth can be the Secretary of Defense we'll talk about that more there's just one one symbol of which there have been many in the last few days that anything's possible Trump wins the in in the third act victory that literally no historian would have predicted none can historians tell you the future because they know the past do you remember when historians would tell you um you have to study history because that's how you know what's going to happen next well how how did the historians do how' they do let's do a poll of the historians and say how many of you thought Trump was going to win another term now let's compare it to the cartoonists I I'm pretty sure I did better than the historians on this one Prett pretty sure I've been telling you for a while that not only would Trump be more popular every day he was out of office true but that he could win another term and it would be the greatest third Act of all time true uh I was also reminded today that I had predicted at one point that the public had decided that whether Trump had the goods or have the goods to win the election that we were going to drag his body across the the finish line and that happened too you you saw that the public sort of almost like a it's almost like a a body with white blood cells you know attacking the cancer or protecting part of the body it was almost like the immune system of the country gathered around Trump somehow kept him alive even when bullets were going past his head that part was luck but between the the musks and the vies and the JD advances and the and the uh everybody else I don't have to name all the names the RFK Jr.

Etc Telsa gabard you know the names but you saw the the most credible people in your online world one by one all turned to Trump and and I believe that we all had a common thought which is that you know and I hate it when people say this I I almost feel like I shouldn't but I'm going to say it but I'm going to be disgusted by myself when I say it so if that helps yes Trump might have some flaws stop it stop it all right I hate myself for saying that it's just it's the NPC thing to say oh he's got some flaws I don't like every single thing that he does so I hate it I hate it when people you know line up their compliment by saying he's got flaws can we just stipulate how about we just stipulate nobody's perfect and just get past that all right that being said I believe that the people who decided to throw it all in with him and really Risk Everything Risk Everything to get this done I believe that we thought it needed to be done and I think that's what binds the people who kind of belatedly came to trump it wasn't about Trump it's not about Trump and it's not about us it's about the country and this is real this is real love for country that you saw spontaneously you know suppressed for so long but it couldn't be stopped so the the love and optimism of the American people eventually like the like the flower growing through the crack in the concrete sidewalk it just was Unstoppable there wasn't any way to stop it and so I do believe that although Trump is the you know the best Persuader most uh most consequential leader of our time time that you still needed you still needed all of that American Spirit to drag him across the you know the finish line and we did so what I like about it is that it was the cleanest incentive I've ever seen in 2016 it really felt like Democrats versus Republicans in 2020 it felt even more like Democrats versus Republicans it was just a team thing this is different whatever you're experiencing now is about America and it's not about the team now there's you know the team elements have to come into play of course but this is bigger and you can feel it can't you there's something bigger than anything we've ever felt that's happening right now it's happening in every way it's happening everywhere it's happening in other countries it's happening in the economy the military you're seeing the leaders completely change their stance on things we'll talk about that everything's different and I remind you of my most weird prediction from 2015 might have been 2016 but I think it was 15 and I told you and nobody nobody knew what I was talking about in 2015 I told you that Trump would change more than politics I said he would change reality itself here we are my best prediction of all time and I got absolutely no love for that because nobody had any idea what I was talking about but I could see this coming from a mile away because of who he is and how he operates I knew that our brains couldn't handle that and that it would just break everything and I also I I'll say this a million times because I just love saying it America has one superpower that is unmatched we can break what we have before we build the new one other countries can't do that they're a little too aifi right but we we will say we don't care how much you loved it yesterday all right doesn't matter how much you loved it yesterday if you got to do it you got to do it we'll change it all we we'll rip it down to the studs rebuild it now the Democrats have their slogan and it's called build back bitter it used to be build back better but then they lost now they'd like to build back their party but they're bitter so the Democrat slogan build back bitter is making them completely irrelevant to anything so they will remain bitter I guess just the you know the politically active people uh I'm also enjoying watching the the B story of Baron Trump are you watching that and the next generation of the trumps like Kai Kai Trump Don Jr's daughter so both of them seem to be um now in the Trump machine the machine that knows how to turn you into a celebrity basically so Baron I saw a post on social media that he has an IQ of 170 and he's the secret genius behind Trump's success with young people now how much of that do you think is true do you think first of all that he has an IQ of 170 and second of all that he's really the secret magic behind the you know Trump success with the young it's possible it's possible I I I I think that as a recreational belief I'm going to accept it I'm not going to question it I think I'm just going to recreationally say it now if somebody just came up with that number and they were doing what I did which is I I just put on the internet that I have an IQ of 185 and if I say it enough it was sort of an experiment I started several years ago an experiment to see if I said it enough and people repeated it if the internet would come to believe that I have an IQ of 185 and if any of you have been following it you know that it worked for a long time if if you did a search it would come up with well we're not sure but a lot of people say he's got a 180 or 185 so it might be that which would be hilarious but uh I love the fact that if he's really smart and he's you know raised well looks like he is and he's he's a you know six foot 100 or whatever he is that he's like an improved Donald Trump which is the most hilarious thing as soon as as soon as the Democrats think finally you know the Elder Trump has aged out finally we don't have to worry about this Donald Trump and then there's going to be the improved clone the one that looks way too much like him except way taller way more athletic way better looking just by being young Trump was handsome when he was young and uh and maybe maybe a rumor that he has a really high IQ Trum Trump actually found a way to clone himself if you think you're done with Trump after four years nope Baron's coming on strong anyway and Kai Trump is becoming a social media star looks like she has all the support in the world to do that and she also has the goods you know if if there's one thing that can make you feel good about the future it's seeing a young person who has the goods do you know anybody like that there aren't that many like it just in general there aren't many people have the goods but if you watch Kai Trump Kai Trump for like five minutes well not even one minute in one minute you say to yourself oh she's got the goods she's got the whole package like what would ever stop her she's got the backing the brains the looks the personality the Charisma the what's going to stop that and we don't know as much about Baron yet but maybe maybe so I would say that Kai Trump um makes me feel good about the future just because there are people like her people like her in the future meanwhile there's a CIA official who been charged with leaking uh documents to Israel and the documents were about uh uh Israel's plans to ret retaliate against Iran so that violated the Espionage Act New York Times is reporting on that um so I guess there's not much more to say about that except that our distrust of our intelligence units is uh takes another hit or our trust and then takes another hit Elon Musk is predicting this he said this before but um it's interesting that he's doubling down on it solar power will the vast majority of power generation in the future now I so want him to have a public debate on that question versus let's say nuclear he might be right and I could see the argument for it because if you had enough battery power then you wouldn't worry as much about you know cloudy days and what happens at night and there might be big breakthroughs in how efficient um Things Are I mean we we could build houses that needed very little power to heat and cool them we just don't do it yet so you could imagine that he'd be right about this and you could imagine that there'd be that every uh house the solar panels would be the roof so he's already making that the roof tiles that are basically solar panels so yeah I could see that but I'd love to have the public debate because I think the argument for nuclear um becoming the thing is pretty strong so let's let's battle it down meanwhile over in Italy um the government of Georgia Milani uh so her government the Court ruled that she can't Deport illegal aliens so apparently they're stuck with them and the reason they can't Deport them is that the country they would go back to has poor human rights records uhoh uhoh so apparently Italy has um Progressive or leftist courts and they say you can't get rid of people who came in illegally because the place they came from is so bad now that doesn't mean they have an asylum process per se like we do in the United States it just means that they just feel like that's the right thing to do now if your courts are operating on their feelings instead of something like the law you've got kind of a big problem and here's my question I believe that we have now demonstrated in the United States that the Constitution of the United States plus the character and culture of Americans is self-correcting now we can go pretty far before we correct to the point of being scary but we do and we're we're in a self-correcting phase right now which is just unbelievably powerful but do other countries have that in other words do they have a history a culture a constitution set of laws that allows them to correct if they go off the rails I don't know but Italy's got this problem where the courts are apparently going to do something that would clearly destroy the entire country and I don't know what you do about that does does Georgia Milani have the power to what appoint enough judges to outnumber them or replace them or impeach them I don't know how their system works but I just want to brag a little bit that over 200 years ago some people who were pooping in holes and had no idea that the internet was coming made a constitution that still works because it was exquisitly focused on human motivation that's why the Constitution works is it doesn't work because they come up with some good rules here's some good rules no it's because those rules were perfectly crafted around human nature nobody thought of that before apparently nobody thought of that and so once it was done it became the most powerful document in the world as we clearly see all right what else is going on um so sunny uh hon hoston on The View she made some news because she was agreeing with a psychologist who said that that maybe you maybe it would be a good idea to stay away from family members who are angry about the political stuff and uh Sunny hoston agreed she said uh many people feel quote someone voted not only against their families but against them okay what does that sound like do you think I can tie this into something I've already mentioned yes I can this is narcissism if I go to a if I were to go to a uh family event which I'm not but if I were and some of the family members voted differently you know what I would think that was about I would think that's about politics I wouldn't think it's about me it's narcissist ISM it's not about me they didn't vote against me they voted against some external thing so I would go there as the happy warrior oh this isn't about me but apparently the Democrats would feel like it's about them because that's what they think about they think about themselves so yeah if you've got somebody in your family who can't get out of the mode of thinking about themselves and everything's about them oh the wind is blowing that's about me no it's not oh the vote is about me not really not really weren't even thinking about you so once again we see that the narcissism of the Democrats come into play and Destroy families as well as politics speaking of things that are being destroyed MSNBC might be for sale their uh their ratings are so bad uh the ratings are are like extra bad I think for uh Stephanie rule I think she's down over 70% but she's also up against Gutfeld with a with a exclamation so it might be the MSNBC is imploding on its own it might be they just have better competition in some of the hours um but here's my take I think Dei is what's killing MSNBC and there's nothing they can do about it if you become the Dei channel it's like your main thing is uh you know identity you will you will have the same Faith as the Democrat Party and I'll say this a million times if you drew it up on paper ahead of time and said Scott take a look at this we're thinking of having a uh TV news like Network where we're really going to focus on the identity stuff really really drive that home we're going to craft all of our stories around identity Etc how how do you think this will do do and I would say you mean the identity As Americans right cuz that works really well um there's a there's a organization that does that it's called Fox News and they they identify as Americans like and I'd say that's a great idea is that what you're suggesting no no no we were thinking that the identity would not be Americans it would be everything else it would be race and religion and um education level it would be your sexuality then I would say huh do all of those people have the same interests no no they all have their own set of interests huh um well this is going to fail in the long run in the short run it's going to make everybody feel good because you're saying Feelgood things in the long run your interests will diverge because you've created essentially a set of ad adversaries instead of a set of Americans working on the same team so uh you can skip the entire experiment you could just ask Scott yes if your plan is to make everybody hate everybody else for their identity because you're fighting for your identity to get the most stuff that will fail it will fail in the news business it will fail in the military it will fail in your corporation it will fail in your family it will fail in every context in which it is used guaranteed because it's designed to fail it's designed to destroy it it's sort of like Scott I've developed this cluster bomb uhhuh uhhuh and what do you plan to do with it well I'm going to drop the cluster bomb in a big uh crowd of people and explode it do how do you think that'll go well you said it's a cluster bomb yes I think that's going to kill a bunch of people oh really we thought this was such a good idea are you sure because I think people would just love cluster bombs no no no matter how much you love cluster bombs you can't kill a bunch of people with it that's my bad analogy for the day so as uh I was watching uh Megan Kelly say that Joy Reed and their often guest Ellie or Mell are flat out racists I would agree I I would say that the way they act is flat out racism and very overt I don't think it's subtle even in in the least bit um and uh I don't think the MSNBC has a way to get rid of the the most Dei people who presumably are turning off the most number of viewers because they just go too far and and their hosts do do appear also say say it again to have genuine mental illness when I watch the clips of Joy Reed this week I didn't see a different opinion I saw mental illness now how in the world do you operate if your stars are mentally ill and like like a really over obvious way uh clearly acting racist your your ratings have dropped by over 50% per show and they're going to sell it sell it to who who would buy that who would buy that well it might be Jack bobic so Jack babic and I think his brother and they they are talking to some investors and uh they're thinking about maybe making a run at buying MSNBC because it looks like it might be for sale and I think they could pretty well uh fix things pretty quickly by getting rid of all the host and you know just carving out using using the assets but get rid of the host so that might happen uh as pbd showed pbd does everybody know pbd when I talk about that that's we're now the the independent podcasters are all famous enough that I can just refer to them by their fast handles so pbd one of the bigger podcasters uh was pointing out they had Charlie Kirk on and pointing out that Charlie Kirk's Tik Tok account averaged 60 million views a day before the election just Tik Tok just Charlie Kirk 60 million views per day now let's compare that to the entire MSNBC audience half a million viewers a night what do you think my viewership was per day for just doing this live stream during in the runup I don't know exactly but maybe maybe on a good day 150,000 if you look across multiple platforms that I'm on SO even I was like you know I I was in the same at least zip code of traffic of this entire network I don't know how much anyone would pay for MSNBC but I think it's got to go for a fire sale price because you can replace the whole operation with a laptop and a and a and a ring light anyway so I think the Legacy Media is uh irrelevant forever CNN's looking to fire hundreds of employees according to Puck news so Dylan buyers I guess has some kind of scoop on this um and and the scoop says I'm not ready to believe this yet by the way so I don't believe it yet but it's being reported that uh that they might get rid of some of the top paid talent because it's pointed out in the reporting here that Anderson Cooper makes $20 million a year while Caitlyn Collins makes $3 million a year and um if you ask me which one of them is doing a better job or is more interesting to watch I'd say I don't know looks like about a tie to me is one worth 20 million and one is worth 3 million so maybe one of them needs Rays I don't know but uh there's there's a clip going around of CNN's Brian stelter and Abby Phillip on a panel discussion and uh and philli and stelter decided that part of the reason that the U Legacy Media is failing hard is because of trump and America's and America believing lies about the media so the media did not destroy itself with its blindness um gaslighting and complete irrelevance no it wasn't that it wasn't that that we all noticed no it was because someone pointed out that the news is fake and mistaken and and gaslighting and propaganda so it's not the fact that you are gaslighting fake news propaganda disguised as a news program that's not the problem the r problem is as somebody pointed it out I don't feel like the the Legacy news is close to solving their own problem I feel like stage one has to be recognizing where that problem is coming from and I don't think it came from outside the house if you know what I mean no it wasn't Trump although Trump did a great service by pointing it out meanwhile the publication called the guardian over in Great Britain says it's going to leave the xplatform because it's quote a toxic media platform with quote far-right conspiracy theories and racism or or is it the platform that most often points out that the guardian is full of which one is it I wonder huh what could it be well here's my we're going to talk about all the Trump's appointments so one of the things that I I think Trump actually said this or maybe a member of his campaign said this that he would be driving the Overton window so that there would be so much news that the fake news couldn't get any kind of grip on a new good fake news story against them now that seems to be happening because he's creating so much provocative news that it's all you can handle like you you use up all your news minutes talking about what Trump did today and you can run at a time to say well I think maybe in the 70s oh there was that time he littered in 1973 we should all talk about that a lot so he's just using up all the Shelf space so let's talk about some of his uh nominations for his cabinets and his other jobs all right raise your hands if you saw this one coming nominated for secretary of defense Pete Heth uh formerly known as the fox weekend morning host raise your hands if if you called that one Advance if there's anybody here who predicted that I want to know your name I want to follow you on X because if you predicted this one wow wow now what was my first impression probably same as yours my first impression was uhoh uhoh how does this make sense how in any world does it make sense to go from weekend Fox News host to Secretary of Defense make that make sense and then I spent some time on X and people were starting to post clips about it and I saw a clip in which he was um in which uh pth was talking about the first thing that needs to be done is the all the generals involved with Dei and CRT uh need to be fired and you need to change the focus from Identity to being lethal and winning wars and and I said ah damn it why is that the smartest thing I've heard about the military and it's coming from the fox weekend morning host why is he why is he the only one saying the thing that needs to be done there's nobody else who can speak those words out loud then I find out that he's been hiding his intelligence you bastard you Pete you bastard he's been hiding his intelligence did you know that he has degrees from Yale and Harvard I I think he sent back his Harvard degree in protest how many of you knew that he has two Advanced degrees he doesn't act like he has two Advanced degrees does he now I'm not saying that he acts dumb definitely not I'm saying he's acting smarter than smart if you're really smart you go on TV and people say wow that person's really smart that's that's a real smart person there if you're smarter than smart you go on TV you say things that are smart but when you're done people say hey you're like me you're just smarter which one does he do he does the second one he does the smarter than smart smarter than smart is that you you bring the goods everything you say fits makes sense is in context historically accurate useful better High Ground better than what the other people are saying and then you just walk away you don't have to say and I'm the smartest person in the room now there are some people whose names I won't name who are also really smart and they will tell you they're really smart the entire time they're talking like you can't miss it I I want to name a name but I'm not going to because I it's somebody I like but if you can pull off the Trump level of communication where you're talking like you're you're one of everybody at the same time you're operating at a whole different level that's everything like you can't do better than that now he also there's a clip also where he was on a podcast Pete Pete xth was uh saying that uh there's you can't he doesn't want women in U combat positions now of course that's an identity Dei issue and he's not saying there's anything wrong with women he's just saying it doesn't it doesn't uh fit or work and there's not enough U science to support it as making the military more lethal now that's a tough thing to say in public but he said it and he said it with no ambiguity no apology and he said it correctly and um you know in in a way that made him look smart so I love that I love that now it's not even about liking the issue I do I do prefer not having women in combat but but my reason for it is first of all I'm taking his word for it because he seems to know what he's talking about by the way he's a military veteran so he spent a lot of time in the military and he's done a lot of work for veterans so he's somebody who understands the veteran situation because he's been so involved he understands real war he's been in the real war and he knows the biggest in the military is we don't want our generals wearing dresses basically you so if he can fix that I'm all in and I would say that if the goal is to get rid of the Dei in the military and it should be absolutely should be then the person you need to do that is somebody who does not have a long history of being a officer appointed by politicians you want somebody who hasn't even touched that area you want somebody who's seen enough combat that you know they can take a hit you want somebody who's worked on Fox News so you know they can be uh absolutely violated with criticism and go home as a happy warrior he can do that he knows how to take the hardest criticism he knows how to dodge freaking bullets who in the military right if you think he doesn't have the goods don't make the mistake of of you know imagine imagine if you were around in 1776 and the founders of the country brought you their resumés and George Washington says uh I'm a farmer but I'd like to be the general of the Revolution You' say wait a minute you're a farmer how does that make sense who is it uh was that Hamilton who was who was like a teenager so so a teenager comes to you and say hey I got these ideas for changing the entire country do you say oh teenager oh good yeah let's let's go with that nope but if it was 1776 and you said to yourself who's got the most Goods who who's bringing the strongest package and then Washington walks in he's six fo something he you know people want to follow him and you say okay I don't know what you got going on but you've got the package you're the general and then Hamilton comes in or whoever it was was it Madison or Hamilton I I could never remember which one was super young they were both super young right Madison and Hamilton but if they came in at that age and you looked at the resume you'd say ah yeah I think you need to get season a few more decades before you but if you were smart you'd say hm young Steve Jobs H young uh Mark Zuckerberg young Elon Musk right and so you see that same s 1776 hiring decisions if you can call it that um being made by Trump vake too young perfect JD an too young perfect P Heth Heth P heith too young perfect perfect as long as they got the goods and we're talking about people who really have the goods really really have the goods all right so we'll see how that works out the good news is the defense lobbyist seem to be outraged oh well we're heading in the right direction aren't we so the defense lobbyists are outraged you got me so if if it didn't if it wasn't obvious my first reaction to Pete heg was huh I don't understand it my current reaction is it might be brilliant it might be I mean anything could happen right it's too early too early to predict success but is he the right pick is he loyal to Trump would he take the hit he would have to hit would he be able to fire generals would he have the empathy as well as the experience for the the military yep I'm all in well what else um and Trump is preparing an executive order to call the military of woke generals according to the red State red state is reporting so so Heth would have the backing of the the commander-in-chief and uh I actually think they could get this done I if I were China and Russia this would scare the out of me you know why because I think all the big countries are worried that their own militaries are pathetic but nobody knows yet I feel like that might be the the case remember how we thought that Russia would just roll over Ukraine and then we thought oh oh I guess that Russian military wasn't as vaed as we thought I mean they still probably would win if they keep fighting but not really as close as we thought and then there there's talk that China if it got into a shooting war with the us if it were non-nuclear it would go bad for China maybe that's true maybe it's not then we when we talk about our military you know maybe we've used up all our all our good stuff giving it to Ukraine you know maybe maybe we have too much Di and you know maybe overweight unhealthy soldiers not enough of them so it could be that all the major Powers have militaries that they're not really happy with internally and if you were watching the United States recognize its biggest problem and have a a useful plan to fix it you would be afraid because the next thing you know we're going to have a whole bunch of uh you know uh Palmer luy uh you know drones and much less cost and will be much more lethal and I'd worry about it that so so think about how Russia thinks about it if Russia knew that Pete Heth was going to get in there and get rid of Dei do you think Putin is happy about that he's not because Dei Works in his favor so if our adversaries aren't going to like pth in that job then that's a pretty good endorsement meanwhile in the department of government efficiency named Doge um Elon Musk of course as you know is going to be the lead on that but guess what turns out that V ramaswami is going to be the second part of that team um given how much work Elon has to do with his companies and the fact that V is a bit more of a free agent you know he's got plenty of Investments to look after too but he's more of a free agent and he has the intellect and the drive all the tools basically all the tools to do exactly this stuff and uh Trump has referred to it as a Manhattan Project and I'll say it again reforming the military in this way that looks like it could really work is almost like a weapon of Master destruction I mean it's it's a powerful powerful thing if we can do it but also reorganizing the government to make it more efficient so the United States is more competitive in every way that would be a Manhattan Project I I do think that if we could pull this off we the country that it would be the most impressive thing the country's ever done because you could say well but you know we developed the nuclear bombs but I think you know somebody would have done that anyway um War doesn't impress me maybe it should but if you can beat the biggest de you know bureaucracy ever in a world where nobody else has figured out how to do that except maybe Estonia Estonia is pretty efficient place by the way weirdly Estonia is actually like a just a killer country uh you don't hear about much much about it but Estonia is really it has it together really well um but if we could get as efficient as Estonia to use them as a model oh my God would the Golden Age open up I'm not 100% sure that even musk and V and Trump can pull this off because the size of it but let me say it again nothing would impress me more if they can pull this off nothing would impress me more and I love the fact the spirit of it too because there's no way that musk and V are going to enjoy this right they signed up for a lot of pain and that pain is for the benefit of the country now you know do the mus companies benefit yes uh could V benefit you know later on politically yes but honestly it does seem focused on the country that's what it feels like uh FBI director Christopher Ray may not stay under a trump Administration NBC news says he's he's thinking about his potential forced exit um one of the people being considered unless something's changed in the last hour or so is Cash Patel some say he was being considered to lead the CIA but I think that got filled with the nomination of uh rackliffe yeah so is Cash pel still up for the head of the FBI that also feels like something that would make me happy so Trump is going for loyalty with brains and I'm liking it a lot loyalty but with brains guts and brains so I don't mind that I don't mind that Trump is going for loyalty over a uh let's say a Lincoln you know team of adversaries I think the team of adversaries would be a huge mistake AK when you have this many things to fix I think he wants loyalists who when he says get rid of Dei in the military they're going to get rid of di in the military and they're not going to slow walk it so the thing you don't want is slow walking and I think that the the Loyalists of this type you know the the the highest quality effective people that that's how you get there um I I saw this from uh Thomas Massie uh he was responding to Ross Al you know he's in prison and a lot of people want him to get pardoned he was the one who created the Silk Road and he has a like a gazillion year prison sentence and um I've been on both sides of whether he should get pardoned but um so Thomas Massie says hang in there Ross president Trump himself told me that he would pardon him it's one of the reasons I endorse all right so that seals it for me so Massie who I trust there there is zero chance that Thomas Massie is lying when he says that Trump told him he would do it now it's about Trump if Trump told Massie that he would pardon him it needs to happen so separate from the question of whether he should be pardoned we can't have a situation where Trump tells Thomas Massie he's going to do a thing no doubt about it and then he doesn't do it no good right the the fact that Trump is committed Thomas Massie told you you committed that has to be a done deal now that has to be because if you want you know if you want confidence in the system I need to know that if Trump tells Thomas Massie and Thomas Massie tells me that that shit's going to happen right so this is a new situation now it's a it's new game because it's now it's no longer about the guy in prison now it's about Trump and Massie so that needs to be right Trump had said this a while ago but the clip is going around he made a bunch of videos when he was running for office some of them were getting surface lately but I love this idea Trump creating some kind of American College Plan where I assume it's mostly online but maybe not in which anybody could get a free education that would be presumably certified as a real education now I don't think I would love if College turned into only online because the the in-person part of college is important but we could probably figure out ways where people are taking classes they have something in common could you know group together and have meetings and study together and do projects together and stuff like that so I think it's solvable and I very much would like to see the the government offer the low cost there you have no excuses as long as you have a laptop every single person can get a um respected education and I think if you add AI to that we're in good shape the American College Plan I'm all for it meanwhile you are not surprised to learn that there are reports which are unconfirmed of uh all kinds of potential election cheating in Maricopa County now there are some claims in Wisconsin and maybe somewhere else uh where that weird pattern of votes going in a smooth line and then suddenly the Democrat vote goes straight up because there's a batch of votes that come in that's only for one person that actually happened again now I've only seen the reports of it Wisconsin is showing that it happened but the the sudden increase in one vot didn't wasn't enough in other words it was too big to rig it was literally too big to rig if if those reports are true now I'm having a little trouble believing that somebody would have cheated in exactly that way when it's exactly what we're looking for so it's got a little bit of the two on the nose to it so I'm not going to say I believe it's true yet so if you've seen a story about Wisconsin having a sudden Surge and only Biden votes maybe maybe but but just be aware that it's exactly the kind of thing that if there were a fake story it would look just like it so I'm on the fence on this one so I'm not going to say that that's likely to be true or likely to be false let's just keep a keep an eye on it see if we can find out for sure but likewise there's stories about uh um Maricopa um I won't give you the details you can find that in the Gateway pundit Jordan conradson writing about that um but we're in the fog of Elections area and that means that there will be lots of claims that won't check out there might be some claims that do check out and this might be one of them but it's too early to know um too early to now and then uh this from Breitbart Joel Pollock is writing that uh Iran is reportedly postponing its promised third ballistic missile attack on Israel so Israel and Iran have been doing the you know if you bomb me I'm going to bomb you but you bomb me I'm going to bomb you back and in the last round um Israel completely eliminated the air defenses of Iran so Iran is sitting there with no air defense and suddenly at the same time they have no air defense they're saying you know what you know what maybe we should have I got an idea let me just run this past you what if instead of attacking Israel while we have no longer any air defense why don't we uh maybe see if we can make a deal when Trump gets in there so that's what they're signaling they're going to hold off in the hopes of reaching deal with president-elect Trump who I call President Trump what do you think of that now on one hand of course they're just being practical because they just lost their air defenses so so talking is sort of all they have left you know what I mean well we can they haven't bombed our mouths yet so we can still talk let's talk so I'm going to say it again Trump is the president-elect but he's also the symbol of the new age and he's also a legend he's a legend in his own time he's still with us he just started he just started his second term he's and he's a legend now if you're a legend can you get a peace deal that somebody else can't get done yes you can so Trump has become what I call everybody's fake because the fake because is something I've been teaching my audience for years now it's the reason you give that's not the real reason you just need a reason that sounds good and looks good and other people think it's a reason but your real reason might be something else and that's fine so Iran would like to not be at War and not be destroyed so they're fake because is oh hey hey uh G new president so wouldn't it make sense to you know hold our hold our fire until we see what the new president's up to that's a fake because the real because might be that they have no air defense likewise over in Ukraine and Russia um the current situation is is uh who's going to win which is the wrong frame Trump's going to come in as the legend who said he's going to it in one day and then both parties who really want it to stop Russia doesn't want the war Ukraine doesn't want the war but they don't have a way to stop so Trump comes in and he says I'm going to threaten both of you I threaten you both I don't just threaten Russia I threaten also Ukraine and I'm going to bring the biggest stick and I'm going to beat the and a both of you until you give us peace what's that that's a fake because because they don't need Trump because they don't want to be at War and they also every single person knows you know there's going to be a land for peace situation that looks about the way things look now so Ukraine and Russia only need a fake because they don't need a real one they only need a fake one and here it is it's the fake because because Trump does does China want to have better relations with the United States probably because that would be good for them do you think that there are hardliners in China who are telling president shei no no no we must destroy the United States we cannot be friends with them probably probably what happens when Trump comes in then suddenly president XI can say oh are you watching what's happening this guy's Making Peace plans all over the world he's he's revived the American economy he's rebuilding the military you know guys I I hear you your hard Hardline stuff and I've been agreeing with you up to now but but don't you think now would be the time to talk and then president she gets a fake because because Trump so do you think you could get rid of Dei in the military without Trump nope there's nobody else who could do it you you need you need a loyalist in there and it looks like you'll have one so the fake because that comes along with being a legend that escaped two assassination attempts and had the greatest third Act of all of all politics of all time that's really powerful so the Golden Age could be completely unlocked with fake because just because Trump you you could just add because Trump in front of every piece of good news that you hear from now on why does Bill lman say that everybody's being uh optimistic about the country because Trump everybody wanted to be optimistic right everybody wanted to invest everybody wanted to do more business but they needed Trump to say everything's okay I'm going to fix everything you know the country will be fine we'll pay down our debt oh now I think those are true but they also provide your because Trump everything's because Trump and that ladies and gentlemen is my prepared presentation for today I hope you enjoy the feeling of optimism that I'm with any luck I imparted and uh I'm hoping that uh those of you on locals will stick around I'm going to say goodbye to the uh You.

Tube and x and Rumble audience and uh what's that just looking at some comments and I'm going to talk to the local subscribers privately so here we come local subscribers private in 30 seconds e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

take a quick

look not bad not bad looks like we're up

again good job stock

market but I know why you're here you're

here for a

show and as soon as I got my comments

working we're going to give you one it's

going to be

amazing best you've ever

seen yeah we

go stream on in here will

you the golden age is about to

begin good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

in the midst of the burgeoning golden

age if you think this is the top

experience you could possibly have well

you might be wrong because there's a way

to take this experience up to levels

that nobody can even understand with

their tiny shiny human brains for that

all you need is a cup or mug or a glass

a tankered Shel or Stein a canteen

Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill

it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine here in

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous sip

it happens now

go oh that's

good that's

good well today's the day uh Congress is

going to hear from some

UAP testimonies you know the uaps that

used to be UFOs that used to be hoaxes

but now people think that not only are

there iCal devices flying through the

air but the ocean is probably just full

of them full of them

uaps now I don't know what we're going

to find out about the

uaps um uh I'm going to go on record

with my

prediction my prediction is there's no

such thing as

uaps no well let me put it this way my

prediction is there's no other

intelligent entity operating Advanced

vehicles

either in the ocean or the atmosphere of

the

world I don't believe it not even a

little bit I'm not even slightly like

leaning toward it or anything I don't

think there's any truth to it now what

is the truth why is it that so many

credible seeming people believe they've

seen something they probably have seen

something I just think it's probably

some kind of Illusion or you know

mechanical error or you know in a few

cases maybe people have false

memories um they're different situations

but the only thing I'm sure of is that

it's not

real however if you're following the

Dilbert comic strip I can guarantee you

that dogbert will be having some Joy

rides in his

UAP and uh well I'll give you the

cartoon version of what's happening and

that's only if you're subscribing at the

locals at locals Scott adams. locals.com

or you're following Dilbert on the

xplatform if you're

subscribing here's some news from

Neuroscience news did you know that

chronic inflammation is linked to

depression not just that the depression

causes the inflammation but rather the

inflammation seems to cause the

depression now they could have done that

study or they could have just asked me

because I've been telling you for a

while that hey I think inflammation is

causing

depression how many of you heard there

from me before there was a study that

says you know what inflammation seems to

cause

depression now in addition to

inflammation causing

depression I'm pretty sure that Just

Energy in general just your health in

general but also your energy is probably

linked to

depression um that seems pretty clear to

me now again this comes under the

category of your brain your your body is

your brain

right there was some study I didn't tell

you about that had some idea that memory

is stored in other parts of your

body okay but uh if you know that the

other parts of your body can affect how

your brain is thinking and that seems to

be the case just think of your body as

your brain so when I there there was a

strategy I had when I was very young

that if I had a lifelong habit of

exercise I would be smarter when I was

older that was literally a lifetime

strategy so in

my teens probably probably in my teens I

decided that I didn't want to be uh dumb

and you know have mental problems when

I'm 60 so I said huh you mean all I have

to do is exercise on a regular basis

which I kind of like anyway and then my

brain will be better for the last part

of my life yes yes that's exactly what

works

also there's an app Neuroscience news

says that there somebody tested an app

that would keep you from ruminating

ruminating you know thinking about

yourself and your problems well we have

found that that also reduces depression

so the more you think about people and

things outside yourself the happier you

will be now I've said this a few times

but I don't know if you if you can

realize how deep this

is as an explanation of our uh political

situation does it seem to you that

Republicans are like happy

Warriors and does it seem to you that

the Democrats seem and again this is

oversimplification and you know

stereotype so it doesn't apply to every

single person obviously but it doesn't

seem to you that on average the

Democrats seem sad and

depressed and and indeed this evidence

shows that have far more therapy far

more prescription drugs to help them

with their mental problems now if the

only thing I told you was that the um

the Republicans are focused on the

well-being of their family they're

focused on their God and they're focused

on their country those are all

external th those are the three

healthiest things you could ever think

about thinking about your family's

well-being your God and your

country that's like a recipe for good

mental health right there now take the

Democrat um approach that identity is

sort of the the beginning place you know

the the beginning of your journey and

then everything is about what's

different about you oh what's different

about my experience let's talk about my

lived experience it's all about you

which we know gives you mental health

problems now let's not pretend that

there's any mystery about this anymore

this is a very clean

scientifically completely um supported

opinion Am I Wrong I'd love to see in

the comments whether that's resonating

that the Republican point of view is

external and and they tend to be happy

Warriors just like the science says they

should and then the the the narcissistic

and uh not have any kids and I'm going

to shave my head because everything is

about me and it's about my identity and

that those people are depressed as hell

and they don't understand even what's

happening in the world they're like why

why are things happening like

this that might be your whole

explanation so imagine if you would

people always ask me Scott you're a

hypnotist and you talk about persuasion

how can we persuade the people on the

left

to be less crazy and really it is crazy

because even their their point of view

about how to do policy you look at it

and you go I don't know that looks a

little crazy I'm not even sure that's

worth

discussing so suppose the way you

suppose I'll just put this out as a

hypothesis suppose the way you helped

the people on the left is not to try to

talk about their political opinions

because you know that's a waste of time

right suppose the only thing you did was

train them to think

externally and train them to put their

interests outside of their own body what

would

happen would would they turn into

Republicans automatically and then they

wouldn't even know

why I don't know but but if it made him

happier that'd be worth

doing you know look let me let me say

this clearly in case there's even one

Democrat listening

as much as we have fun with politics and

you know it's fun to dunk on the other

team and stuff because there's a team

sport part of the politics I really do

want the Democrats to do well let me say

that let me say that unambiguously in my

perfect world the Democrats are thriving

they're getting everything they want you

know that doesn't hurt me and and

they're having a terrific time with life

that's what I want so let's see if we

can get there so now we have several

ways to reduce depression we know

exercise does it we know thinking about

yourself less is good for your mental

health reducing inflammation is good

somebody said some things about diet

that's probably good too meanwhile over

in China they have not only developed uh

military robot dogs but they're training

their military robot dogs to operate

like a wolf pack so that the the

military dogs will operate you know in a

coordinated

fashion I can't think of too many things

scarier than robot dog

wolves that just sounds like the

scariest thing you could think of

because if a if a real wolf pack

attacked you you would at least have

some chance of using psychology against

it right like suppose a real wolfback

came after you you'd like maybe you'd

fire gun and they scare them away you

maybe there' be a a fire or something

you could you know wave the fire at them

and scare them away you know there might

be some psychology you could use with

Wolves but you're not going to use any

psychology with a robot wolf back if

that stuff comes out you you might as

well just make your peace with the

world the only thing I'm worried about

is can they swim if they can't swim the

United States has a few more good years

ahead of

it but if those robot dogs start

swimming toward from Mainland CH China

toward California I'm going to start

running all right there's a new

technology that turns a jet engines uh

more efficient uses electricity to to

directly create

thrusts so normally electricity doesn't

create jet engine thrust but now they've

got a way to do it with plasma but I was

reading through the technique of how

they did it and I

realized that the technology was written

Like a Porn novel so I'm going to read

you the technology involved in turning

electricity into a plasma jet engine but

I'm going to read it like it's a a

sexual piece okay you ready for

this

ionization inside the chamber the

highfrequency microwaves excite the air

molecules stripping electrons from the

atoms and creating a plasma State the

resulting plasma reaches temperatures

exceeding several thousand degrees C and

then comes the jet thrust the high

temperature plasma rapidly expands as it

exits the ionization chamber the

expansion produces a jet thrust capable

of lifting a 1 kg steel ball

demonstrating thrust comparable to

Conventional jet

engines whoa that's some good technology

right

there okay concentrate Scott

concentrate well the uh Daniel Penny

trial continues the the hero who stopped

a dangerous man from hurting people on a

on a subway and the witness who helped

him most closely the person who helped

Daniel Penny uh hold down the other guy

um is giving some testimony that seems

very positive and that that guy did not

seem to see he did not say or observe

that he was that Penny was holding him

in a dangerous way in fact at one point

he me he he was helping him hold arms so

he could hold them looser and at one

point he said maybe maybe should hold

them tighter so there was one very close

witness who literally was handson you

know holding the same body at the same

time who is as close to Daniel peny as I

am to my

microphone and in his opinion he wasn't

holding him so tight that it was some

dangerous situation

now how does he not go

free seriously the guy who was on the

body at the same time who was charged

with nothing cuz the other guy was

holding his hands

right that's the only person I want to

hear

from if if the person who was on the

body now that guy first of all that guy

deserves credit because he got involved

he he could have been

charged I'm I'm not in I'm not exactly

sure why he wasn't because if Daniel

peny was holding the guy in a deadly way

the person who is helping him hold him

in a deadly

way it feels like that should be

chargeable I'm glad it isn't I'm very

glad it isn't but if that's the

guy because he's credible right the the

guy who steps in to help because he

stepped in to help not just the people

on the you know the people were

threatened on the train he stepped in to

help the guy who was the victim because

holding his hands was the safest thing

you could have done to the victim

so that guy has credibility with me he

he's no ex no evidence that he's a liar

no evidence he has the wrong motivations

and his the evidence shows that he wants

to get involved for the public to

benefit the public I'll listen to him so

I got to tell you the golden age is

waiting for one more Penny to

drop you know what I mean I feel like

the golden age is g to happen but we

need this the golden a the Golden Age

requires that Daniel Penny goes free so

let's drop the final Penny on this huh

let's do

this I'm depending on you

jury core inflation is exactly what

people estimated at 3.3 that's about a

non story just staying where it was now

prices are too high of course on the

news they like to confuse you the

current inflation is not too terrible

but we' already reached a level where

you can't afford your eggs so another 3%

on that is not going to help you at all

so it's not really that helpful that

inflation

rate uh has stopped going up fast you

also need the prices to come

down all right uh according to financial

expert Ed Dow zero Hedges reporting this

um Dow says that Trump just got handed a

third of an economy in fraudulent books

so his idea is that he can predict based

on things he's seeing already that the

economy is actually in deep trouble and

the Democrats are lucky that they got

out of office and Trump is going to have

to handle it now do you think it's true

that there are troubling signs sort of

below the headline level of the economy

you know the headline is jobs and

inflation and GDP but below that there

could be a whole bunch of indicators

that are kind of sign sending the

alarm well yes and

no have you ever noticed that economists

cannot predict the

future has anybody noticed that

economists as a group and even

individually cannot predict the future

if they could

they would not be working as economists

because they would already be

billionaire

investors right it would be the easiest

thing in the world if you really could

tell what was going to happen in the

future and other people couldn't you

would be Warren

Buffett but if you're not Warren Buffett

and you're telling me you can see the

future I've got questions like is it the

first time we've ever seen the

future those other times you saw the

future did you in invest heavily in

it I'm not so sure so I don't trust any

Economist telling you that they can see

the the the signs that doesn't mean he's

wrong because your economy is either

going to go up or it's going to go down

it it rarely just you know bubbles along

at the same level it's an up or down

situation so everybody who says it's

going to go up has a good chance of

being right everybody who says it's

going to go down has a pretty good

chance of being right right some of them

will be right here's what you don't want

to do say oh that Economist was right I

guess I better listen to him the next

time

nope nope no doesn't work that way

didn't work that way for the pandemic

either somebody was going to be right

and somebody was going to be wrong about

let's say the vaccinations or or any

part of it the The Masks anything

somebody was going to be right because

they were all yes no masks work yes or

no no vaccinations are good for the

public at large yes or no all right

there's some questions about kids but

basically these are yes or no

questions somebody's going to be right

and they're going to tell you they were

right because they saw the signs and you

did

not that doesn't mean they know that

that's why they were right if it's a

coin flip somebody's going to be right

and they're going to claim credit for it

so beware of economists who tell you

they got it right last time doesn't mean

a thing somebody was going to get it

right and they were going to say they

got it right because they're smarter and

they can predict it better next time

it's just not a thing nobody can see the

future all right but on uh but on that

note bill Amman said for the contrarian

opinion that he's hearing from everybody

including people who did not support

Trump that they've never felt so

optimistic about the country or the

economy now I think feel that I feel

more optimism about America and about

our economy than at any time in my

life now how much of that is just the

Trump persuasion magic how much of it is

me talking myself into it because you

know it's confirmation bias and I want

it to be true and how much of it is it's

just

true now when Bill akman talks to other

people especially the ones who are not

Trump supporters if you if you're

getting a lot of not Trump supporters

who are so optimistic they're driving

the stock market up which they

are that is a really strong indication

of what the economists call the animal

spirits the animal spirits I guess would

be best described as just the way

everybody feels about the future not

their logic but how they feel about it

and the way people feel about it is that

all possibility is just became options

we went from a place where it seemed we

had no no options and no

possibilities to anything's

possible if Pete Heth can be the

Secretary of Defense we'll talk about

that more there's just one one symbol of

which there have been many in the last

few days that anything's possible Trump

wins the in in the third act victory

that literally no historian would have

predicted

none can historians tell you the future

because they know the past do you

remember when historians would tell you

um you have to study history because

that's how you know what's going to

happen next well how how did the

historians do how' they do let's do a

poll of the historians and say how many

of you thought Trump was going to win

another

term now let's compare it to the

cartoonists I I'm pretty sure I did

better than the historians on this one

Prett pretty

sure I've been telling you for a while

that not only would Trump be more

popular every day he was out of office

true but that he could win another term

and it would be the greatest third Act

of all

time

true uh I was also reminded today that I

had predicted at one point that the

public had decided that whether Trump

had the goods or have the goods to win

the election that we were going to drag

his body across the the finish

line and that happened

too you you saw that the public sort of

almost like a it's almost like a a body

with white blood cells you know

attacking the cancer or protecting part

of the body it was almost like the

immune system of the country gathered

around Trump somehow kept him alive even

when bullets were going past his head

that part was

luck but between the the musks and the

vies and the JD advances and the and the

uh everybody else I don't have to name

all the names the RFK Jr Etc Telsa

gabard you know the

names but you saw the the most credible

people in your online world one by

one all turned to Trump and and I

believe that we all had a common thought

which is that you know and I hate it

when people say this I I almost feel

like I shouldn't but I'm going to say it

but I'm going to be disgusted by myself

when I say it so if that

helps yes Trump might have some

flaws stop it stop it all right I hate

myself for saying that it's just it's

the NPC thing to

say oh he's got some flaws I don't like

every single thing that he does so I

hate it I hate it when people you know

line up their compliment by saying he's

got flaws can we just stipulate how

about we just stipulate nobody's

perfect and just get past that all right

that being said I believe that the

people who decided to throw it all in

with him and really Risk Everything Risk

Everything to get this done I believe

that we thought it needed to be

done and I think that's what binds the

people who kind of belatedly came to

trump it wasn't about

Trump it's not about Trump and it's not

about

us it's about the country and this is

real this is real love for country that

you saw

spontaneously you know suppressed for so

long but it couldn't be stopped so the

the love and optimism of the American

people

eventually like the like the flower

growing through the crack in the

concrete sidewalk it just was

Unstoppable there wasn't any way to stop

it and so I do believe that although

Trump is the you know the best

Persuader most

uh most consequential leader of our time

time that you still needed you still

needed all of that American Spirit to

drag him across the you know the finish

line and we did so what I like about it

is that it was the cleanest incentive

I've ever

seen in 2016 it really felt like

Democrats versus

Republicans in 2020 it felt even more

like Democrats versus Republicans it was

just a team thing this is

different whatever you're experiencing

now is about America and it's not about

the team now there's you know the team

elements have to come into play of

course but this is

bigger and you can feel it can't you

there's something bigger than anything

we've ever

felt that's happening right now it's

happening in every way it's happening

everywhere it's happening in other

countries it's happening in the economy

the military you're seeing the leaders

completely change their stance on things

we'll talk about that everything's

different and I remind you of my

most weird prediction from 2015 might

have been 2016 but I think it was 15 and

I told you and nobody nobody knew what I

was talking about in 2015 I told you

that Trump would change more than

politics

I said he would change reality

itself here we

are my best prediction of all

time and I got absolutely no love for

that because nobody had any idea what I

was talking about but I could see this

coming from a mile

away because of who he is and how he

operates I knew that our brains couldn't

handle that and that it would just break

everything and I also I I'll say this a

million times because I just love saying

it

America has one superpower that is

unmatched we can break what we have

before we build the new

one other countries can't do that

they're a little too aifi right but we

we will say we don't care how much you

loved it

yesterday all right doesn't matter how

much you loved it yesterday if you got

to do it you got to do it we'll change

it all we we'll rip it down to the studs

rebuild it now the Democrats have their

slogan and it's called build back

bitter it used to be build back better

but then they lost now they'd like to

build back their party but they're

bitter so the Democrat slogan build back

bitter is making them completely

irrelevant to

anything so they will remain bitter I

guess just the you know the politically

active people uh

I'm also enjoying watching the the B

story of Baron Trump are you watching

that and the next generation of the

trumps like Kai Kai Trump Don Jr's

daughter so both of them seem to be um

now in the Trump machine the machine

that knows how to turn you into a

celebrity

basically so Baron I saw a post on

social media that he has an IQ of

170 and he's the secret genius behind

Trump's success with young people now

how much of that do you think is true do

you think first of all that he has an IQ

of

170 and second of all that he's really

the secret magic behind the you know

Trump success with the young it's

possible it's possible I I I I think

that as a recreational belief I'm going

to accept it

I'm not going to question it I think I'm

just going to recreationally say it now

if somebody just came up with that

number and they were doing what I did

which is I I just put on the internet

that I have an IQ of

185 and if I say it enough it was sort

of an experiment I started several years

ago an experiment to see if I said it

enough and people repeated it if the

internet would come to believe that I

have an IQ of 185 and if any of you have

been following it you know that it

worked for a long time if if you did a

search it would come up with well we're

not sure but a lot of people say he's

got a

180 or 185 so it might be that which

would be hilarious but uh I love the

fact that if he's really smart and he's

you know raised well looks like he is

and he's he's a you know six foot 100 or

whatever he is that he's like an

improved Donald Trump

which is the most hilarious thing as

soon as as soon as the Democrats think

finally you know the Elder Trump has

aged out finally we don't have to worry

about this Donald Trump and then there's

going to be the improved clone the one

that looks way too much like him except

way taller way more athletic way better

looking just by being young Trump was

handsome when he was young and uh and

maybe maybe a rumor that he has a really

high

IQ Trum Trump actually found a way to

clone himself if you think you're done

with Trump after four years

nope Baron's coming on strong anyway and

Kai Trump is becoming a social media

star looks like she has all the support

in the world to do that and she also has

the

goods you know if if there's one thing

that can make you feel good about the

future

it's seeing a young person who has the

goods do you know anybody like that

there aren't that many like it just in

general there aren't many people have

the goods but if you watch Kai Trump Kai

Trump for like five minutes well not

even one minute in one minute you say to

yourself oh she's got the goods she's

got the whole package like what would

ever stop her she's got the backing the

brains the looks the personality the

Charisma the

what's going to stop

that and we don't know as much about

Baron yet but maybe maybe so I would say

that Kai Trump um makes me feel good

about the future just because there are

people like her people like her in the

future meanwhile there's a CIA official

who been charged with leaking uh

documents to

Israel and the documents were about uh

uh Israel's plans to ret retaliate

against Iran so that violated the

Espionage Act New York Times is

reporting on

that um so I guess there's not much more

to say about that except that our

distrust of our intelligence units is uh

takes another hit or our trust and then

takes another

hit Elon Musk is predicting this he said

this before but um it's interesting that

he's doubling down on it solar power

will the vast majority of power

generation in the

future

now I so want him to have a public

debate on that question versus let's say

nuclear he might be right and I could

see the argument for it because if you

had enough battery power then you

wouldn't worry as much about you know

cloudy days and what happens at night

and there might be big breakthroughs in

how

efficient um Things Are I mean we we

could build houses that needed very

little power to heat and cool them we

just don't do it yet so you could

imagine that he'd be right about this

and you could imagine that there'd be

that every uh house the solar panels

would be the roof so he's already making

that the roof tiles that are basically

solar panels so yeah I could see that

but I'd love to have the public debate

because I think the argument for nuclear

um becoming the thing is pretty strong

so let's let's battle it down meanwhile

over in Italy um the government of

Georgia

Milani uh so her government the Court

ruled that she can't Deport illegal

aliens so apparently they're stuck with

them and the reason they can't Deport

them is that the country they would go

back to has poor human rights records

uhoh

uhoh so apparently Italy has um

Progressive or leftist

courts and they say you can't get rid of

people who came in illegally because the

place they came from is so

bad now that doesn't mean they have an

asylum process per se like we do in the

United States it just means that they

just feel like that's the right thing to

do now if your courts are operating on

their feelings

instead of something like the law you've

got kind of a big

problem and here's my question I believe

that we have now demonstrated in the

United States that the Constitution of

the United States plus the character and

culture of

Americans is

self-correcting now we can go pretty far

before we correct to the point of being

scary but we do and we're we're in a

self-correcting phase right now which is

just unbelievably powerful but do other

countries have that in other words do

they have a history a culture a

constitution set of laws that allows

them to correct if they go off the rails

I don't know but Italy's got this

problem where the courts are apparently

going to do something that would clearly

destroy the entire country and I don't

know what you do about

that does does Georgia Milani have the

power to what appoint enough judges to

outnumber them or replace them or

impeach them I don't know how their

system works but I just want to brag a

little bit that over 200 years ago some

people who were pooping in holes and had

no idea that the internet was coming

made a constitution that still

works because it was

exquisitly focused on human motivation

that's why the Constitution works is it

doesn't work because they come up with

some good rules here's some good rules

no it's because those rules were

perfectly crafted around human nature

nobody thought of that before apparently

nobody thought of that and so once it

was done it became the most powerful

document in the world as we clearly

see all right what else is going on

um so sunny

uh hon hoston on The View she made some

news because she was agreeing with a

psychologist who said that that maybe

you maybe it would be a good idea to

stay away from family members who are

angry about the political stuff and uh

Sunny hoston agreed she said uh many

people feel quote someone voted not only

against their families but against

them okay what does that sound like do

you think I can tie this into something

I've already

mentioned yes I can this is

narcissism if I go to a if I were to go

to a uh family event which I'm not but

if I were and some of the family members

voted differently you know what I would

think that was

about I would think that's about

politics I wouldn't think it's about

me it's narcissist ISM it's not about me

they didn't vote against me they voted

against some external thing so I would

go there as the happy warrior oh this

isn't about me but apparently the

Democrats would feel like it's about

them because that's what they think

about they think about themselves so

yeah if you've got somebody in your

family who can't get out of the mode of

thinking about themselves and

everything's about them oh the wind is

blowing that's about me no it's not oh

the vote is about me not really not

really weren't even thinking about you

so once again we see that the narcissism

of the

Democrats come into play and Destroy

families as well as

politics speaking of things that are

being destroyed MSNBC might be for sale

their uh their ratings are so bad uh the

ratings are are like extra bad I think

for uh Stephanie rule I think she's down

over

70% but she's also up against Gutfeld

with a with a

exclamation so it might be the MSNBC is

imploding on its own it might be they

just have better competition in some of

the

hours um but here's my take I think Dei

is what's killing MSNBC and there's

nothing they can do about it if you

become the

Dei channel it's like your main thing is

uh you know

identity you will you will have the same

Faith as the Democrat Party and I'll say

this a million times if you drew it up

on paper ahead of time and said Scott

take a look at this we're thinking of

having a uh TV news like Network where

we're really going to focus on the

identity stuff really really drive that

home we're going to craft all of our

stories around identity Etc how how do

you think this will do

do and I would say you mean the identity

As Americans

right cuz that works really well um

there's a there's a organization that

does that it's called Fox

News and they they identify as Americans

like and I'd say that's a great idea is

that what you're

suggesting no no no we were thinking

that the identity would not be Americans

it would be everything else it would be

race and religion and

um education level it would be your

sexuality then I would say huh do all of

those people have the same interests no

no they all have their own set of

interests

huh um well this is going to fail in the

long run in the short run it's going to

make everybody feel good because you're

saying Feelgood things in the long run

your interests will diverge because

you've created essentially a set of ad

adversaries instead of a set of

Americans working on the same team so uh

you can skip the entire experiment you

could just ask Scott yes if your plan is

to make everybody hate everybody else

for their identity because you're

fighting for your identity to get the

most stuff that will fail it will fail

in the news business it will fail in the

military it will fail in your

corporation it will fail in your family

it will fail in every context in which

it is used

guaranteed because it's designed to

fail it's designed to destroy it it's

sort of like Scott I've developed this

cluster bomb uhhuh uhhuh and what do you

plan to do with it well I'm going to

drop the cluster bomb in a big uh crowd

of people and explode it do how do you

think that'll go well you said it's a

cluster bomb yes

I think that's going to kill a bunch of

people oh really we thought this was

such a good idea are you sure because I

think people would just love cluster

bombs no no no matter how much you love

cluster bombs you can't kill a bunch of

people with it that's my bad analogy for

the

day so as uh I was watching uh Megan

Kelly say that Joy Reed and their often

guest Ellie or

Mell are flat out racists I would

agree I I would say that the way they

act is flat out racism and very overt I

don't think it's subtle even in in the

least bit um and uh I don't think the

MSNBC has a way to get rid

of the the most Dei people who

presumably are turning off the most

number of viewers because they just go

too far and and their hosts do do appear

also say say it again to have genuine

mental illness when I watch the clips of

Joy Reed this week I didn't see a

different opinion I saw mental illness

now how in the world do you operate if

your stars are mentally ill and like

like a really over obvious way uh

clearly acting racist your your ratings

have dropped by over 50% per

show and they're going to sell

it sell it to who who would buy that

who would buy

that

well it might be Jack bobic so Jack

babic and I think his brother and they

they are talking to some investors and

uh they're thinking about maybe making a

run at buying MSNBC because it looks

like it might be for sale

and I think they could pretty well uh

fix things pretty quickly by getting rid

of all the host and you know just

carving out using using the assets but

get rid of the

host so that might happen uh as pbd

showed pbd does everybody know pbd when

I talk about that that's we're now the

the independent podcasters are all

famous enough that I can just refer to

them by their fast handles so pbd one of

the bigger

podcasters uh was pointing out they had

Charlie Kirk on and pointing out that

Charlie Kirk's Tik Tok account averaged

60 million views a day before the

election just Tik Tok just Charlie

Kirk 60 million

views per

day now let's compare that to the entire

MSNBC audience half a million viewers a

night what do you think my viewership

was per day for just doing this live

stream during in the

runup I don't know exactly but

maybe maybe on a good day 150,000 if you

look across multiple platforms that I'm

on SO even I

was like you know I I was in the same at

least zip code of traffic of this entire

network I don't know how much anyone

would pay for

MSNBC but I think it's got to go for a

fire sale price because you can replace

the whole operation with a laptop and a

and a and a ring

light

anyway so I think the Legacy Media is uh

irrelevant forever CNN's looking to fire

hundreds of employees according to Puck

news so Dylan buyers I guess has some

kind of scoop on this um and and the

scoop says I'm not ready to believe this

yet by the way so I don't believe it yet

but it's being reported

that uh that they might get rid of some

of the top paid talent because it's

pointed out in the reporting here that

Anderson Cooper makes $20 million a year

while Caitlyn Collins makes $3 million a

year and um if you ask me which one of

them is doing a better job or is more

interesting to watch I'd say I don't

know looks like about a tie to me is one

worth 20 million and one is worth 3

million so maybe one of them needs Rays

I don't

know but uh there's there's a clip going

around of CNN's Brian stelter and Abby

Phillip on a panel discussion and uh and

philli and stelter decided that part of

the reason that the U Legacy Media is

failing hard is because of trump and

America's and America believing lies

about the

media so the media did not destroy

itself with its blindness

um gaslighting and complete

irrelevance no it wasn't that it wasn't

that that we all noticed no it was

because someone pointed out that the

news is fake and mistaken and

and gaslighting and propaganda so it's

not the fact that you are

gaslighting fake news propaganda

disguised as a news program that's not

the problem the r problem is as somebody

pointed it

out I don't feel like the the Legacy

news is close to solving their own

problem I feel like stage one has to be

recognizing where that problem is coming

from and I don't think it came from

outside the house if you know what I

mean no it wasn't Trump although Trump

did a great service by pointing it

out meanwhile the publication called the

guardian over in Great Britain says it's

going to leave the xplatform because

it's quote a toxic media platform with

quote far-right conspiracy theories and

racism

or or is it the platform that most often

points out that the guardian is full of

which one is

it I

wonder huh what could it be

well here's my we're going to talk about

all the Trump's appointments so one of

the things that I I think Trump actually

said this or maybe a member of his

campaign said this that he would be

driving the Overton window so that there

would be so much

news that the fake news couldn't get any

kind of grip on a new good fake news

story against them now that seems to be

happening because he's creating so much

provocative news

that it's all you can handle like you

you use up all your news minutes talking

about what Trump did today and you can

run at a time to say well I think maybe

in the

70s oh there was that time he littered

in

1973 we should all talk about that a lot

so he's just using up all the Shelf

space so let's talk about some of his uh

nominations for his cabinets and his

other jobs

all right raise your hands if you saw

this one

coming nominated for secretary of

defense Pete

Heth uh formerly known as the fox

weekend morning

host raise your hands if if you called

that one Advance if there's anybody here

who predicted that I want to know your

name I want to follow you on X because

if you predicted this

one wow wow

now what was my first

impression probably same as yours my

first impression was

uhoh uhoh how does this make

sense how in any world does it make

sense to go from weekend Fox News host

to Secretary of

Defense make that make

sense and then I spent some time on X

and people were starting to post clips

about it and I saw a clip in which he

was um in which uh pth was talking about

the first thing that needs to be done is

the all the generals involved with Dei

and

CRT uh need to be fired and you need to

change the focus from Identity to being

lethal and winning wars and and I

said ah damn it

why is that the smartest thing I've

heard about the military and it's coming

from the fox weekend morning

host why is he why is he the only one

saying the thing that needs to be done

there's nobody else who can speak those

words out loud then I find out that he's

been hiding his

intelligence you bastard you Pete you

bastard he's been hiding his

intelligence

did you know that he has degrees from

Yale and Harvard I I think he sent back

his Harvard degree in

protest how many of you knew that he has

two Advanced

degrees he doesn't act like he has two

Advanced degrees does he now I'm not

saying that he acts dumb definitely not

I'm saying he's acting smarter than

smart if you're really smart you go on

TV and people say wow that person's

really smart that's that's a real smart

person there if you're smarter than

smart you go on TV you say things that

are smart but when you're done people

say hey you're like me you're just

smarter which one does he do he does the

second one he does the smarter than

smart smarter than smart is that you you

bring the goods everything you say fits

makes sense is in context historically

accurate

useful better High Ground better than

what the other people are saying and

then you just walk

away you don't have to say and I'm the

smartest person in the room now there

are some people whose names I won't name

who are also really smart and they will

tell you they're really smart the entire

time they're talking like you can't miss

it I I want to name a name but I'm not

going to because I it's somebody I

like but if you can pull off the Trump

level of communication where you're

talking like you're you're one of

everybody at the same time you're

operating at a whole different

level that's everything like you can't

do better than that now he also there's

a clip also where he was on a podcast

Pete Pete xth was uh saying that uh

there's you can't he doesn't want women

in U combat

positions now of course that's an

identity Dei issue and he's not saying

there's anything wrong with women he's

just saying it doesn't it doesn't uh fit

or work and there's not enough U science

to support it as making the military

more

lethal now that's a tough thing to say

in public but he said it and he said it

with no ambiguity no apology and he said

it correctly and um you know in in a way

that made him look smart

so I love

that I love that now it's not even

about liking the issue I do I do prefer

not having women in

combat but but my reason for it is first

of all I'm taking his word for it

because he seems to know what he's

talking about by the way he's a military

veteran so he spent a lot of time in the

military and he's done a lot of work for

veterans so he's somebody who

understands the veteran situation

because he's been so involved he

understands real war he's been in the

real war and he knows the biggest in the

military is we don't want our generals

wearing dresses

basically you so if he can fix

that I'm all in and I would say that if

the goal is to get rid of the Dei in the

military and it should be absolutely

should be then the person you need to do

that is somebody who does not have a

long history of being a officer

appointed by

politicians you want somebody who hasn't

even touched that area you want somebody

who's seen enough combat that you know

they can take a hit you want somebody

who's worked on Fox News so you know

they can be uh

absolutely violated with criticism and

go home as a happy warrior he can do

that he knows how to take the hardest

criticism he knows how to dodge freaking

bullets who in the military right if you

think he doesn't have the

goods don't make the mistake of of you

know imagine imagine if you were around

in

1776 and the founders of the country

brought you their

resumés and George Washington says uh

I'm a

farmer but I'd like to be the general of

the

Revolution You' say wait a minute you're

a farmer how does that make sense who is

it uh was that Hamilton who was who was

like a

teenager so so a teenager comes to you

and say hey I got these ideas for

changing the entire country do you say

oh teenager oh good yeah let's let's go

with that

nope but if it was 1776 and you said to

yourself who's got the most Goods who

who's bringing the

strongest package

and then Washington walks in he's six fo

something he you know people want to

follow him and you say okay I don't know

what you got going on but you've got the

package you're the general and then

Hamilton comes in or whoever it was was

it Madison or Hamilton I I could never

remember which one was super young they

were both super young right Madison and

Hamilton but if they came in at that age

and you looked at the resume you'd say

ah yeah I think you need to get season a

few more decades before you but if you

were

smart you'd say hm young Steve Jobs H

young uh Mark

Zuckerberg young Elon Musk right and so

you see that same s

1776 hiring decisions if you can call it

that um being made by Trump

vake too

young perfect JD an too

young perfect P Heth Heth P heith too

young

perfect perfect as long as they got the

goods and we're talking about people who

really have the goods really really have

the

goods all

right so we'll see how that works

out the good news is the defense

lobbyist seem to be outraged oh well

we're heading in the right direction

aren't we so the defense lobbyists are

outraged you got me so if if it didn't

if it wasn't obvious my first reaction

to Pete heg was huh I don't understand

it my current reaction

is it might be

brilliant it might be I mean anything

could happen right it's too early too

early to predict success but is he the

right pick is he loyal to Trump would he

take the hit he would have to hit would

he be able to fire

generals would he have the empathy as

well as the experience for the the

military

yep I'm all in well what else

um and Trump is preparing an executive

order to call the military of woke

generals according to the red State red

state is

reporting so so Heth would have the

backing of the the

commander-in-chief and uh I actually

think they could get this

done I if I were China and Russia this

would scare the out of me you know

why because I think all the big

countries are worried that their own

militaries are pathetic but nobody knows

yet

I feel like that might be the the case

remember how we thought that Russia

would just roll over Ukraine and then we

thought oh oh I guess that Russian

military wasn't as vaed as we thought I

mean they still probably would win if

they keep fighting but not really as

close as we thought and then there

there's talk that China if it got into a

shooting war with the us if it were

non-nuclear it would go bad for China

maybe that's true maybe it's not then we

when we talk about our military you know

maybe we've used up all our all our good

stuff giving it to Ukraine you know

maybe maybe we have too much Di and you

know maybe overweight unhealthy soldiers

not enough of them so it could be that

all the major Powers have militaries

that they're not really happy with

internally and if you were watching the

United States recognize its biggest

problem and have a a useful plan to fix

it you would be afraid because the next

thing you know we're going to have a

whole bunch of uh you know uh Palmer luy

uh you know drones and much less cost

and will be much more lethal and I'd

worry about it that so so think about

how Russia thinks about it if Russia

knew that Pete Heth was going to get in

there and get rid of Dei do you think

Putin is happy about that he's not

because Dei Works in his favor

so if our adversaries aren't going to

like pth in that job then that's a

pretty good

endorsement meanwhile in the department

of government efficiency named Doge um

Elon Musk of course as you know is going

to be the lead on that but guess what

turns out that V ramaswami is going to

be the second part of that team um given

how much work Elon has to do with his

companies and the fact that V is a bit

more of a free agent you know he's got

plenty of Investments to look after too

but he's more of a free agent and he has

the intellect and the drive all the

tools basically all the tools to do

exactly this

stuff and uh Trump has referred to it as

a Manhattan Project and I'll say it

again reforming the military in this way

that looks like it could really work is

almost like a weapon of Master

destruction I mean it's it's a powerful

powerful thing if we can do it but also

reorganizing the government to make it

more efficient so the United States is

more competitive in every

way that would be a Manhattan Project I

I do think that if we could pull this

off we the country that it would be the

most impressive thing the country's ever

done because you could say well but you

know we developed the nuclear

bombs but I think you know somebody

would have done that

anyway um War doesn't impress

me maybe it should but if you can beat

the biggest de you know bureaucracy ever

in a world where nobody else has figured

out how to do that except maybe Estonia

Estonia is pretty efficient place by the

way weirdly Estonia is actually like a

just a killer country uh you don't hear

about much much about it but Estonia is

really

it has it together really well um

but if we could get as efficient as

Estonia to use them as a model oh my God

would the Golden Age open

up I'm not 100% sure that even musk and

V and Trump can pull this off because

the size of it but let me say it again

nothing would impress me

more if they can pull this off nothing

would impress me more and I love the

fact the spirit of it too because

there's no way that musk and V are going

to enjoy

this right they signed up for a lot of

pain and that pain is for the benefit of

the country now you know do the mus

companies benefit yes uh could V benefit

you know later on politically yes but

honestly it does seem focused on the

country that's what it feels

like uh FBI director Christopher Ray may

not stay under a trump Administration

NBC news says he's he's thinking about

his potential forced

exit um one of the people being

considered unless something's changed in

the last hour or so is Cash Patel some

say he was being considered to lead the

CIA but I think that got filled with the

nomination of uh rackliffe yeah so is

Cash pel still up for the head of the

FBI that also feels like something that

would make me

happy so Trump is going for

loyalty with

brains and I'm liking it a lot loyalty

but with brains guts and brains so I

don't mind that I don't mind that Trump

is going for loyalty over a uh let's say

a

Lincoln you know team of adversaries I

think the team of adversaries would be a

huge mistake AK when you have this many

things to

fix I think he wants loyalists who when

he says get rid of Dei in the military

they're going to get rid of di in the

military and they're not going to slow

walk it so the thing you don't want is

slow walking and I think that the the

Loyalists of this type you know the the

the highest quality effective

people that that's how you get

there

um I I saw this from uh Thomas

Massie uh he was responding to Ross Al

you know he's in prison and a lot of

people want him to get pardoned he was

the one who created the Silk Road and he

has a like a gazillion year prison

sentence

and um I've been on both sides of

whether he should get pardoned but um so

Thomas Massie says hang in there Ross

president Trump himself told me that he

would pardon him it's one of the reasons

I endorse

all right so that seals it for

me so Massie who I trust there there is

zero chance that Thomas Massie is lying

when he says that Trump told him he

would do it now it's about Trump if

Trump told Massie that he would pardon

him it needs to happen so separate from

the question of whether he should be

pardoned we can't have a situation where

Trump tells Thomas Massie he's going to

do a thing no doubt about it and then he

doesn't do it no good right the the fact

that Trump is committed Thomas Massie

told you you committed that has to be a

done deal now that has to be because if

you want you know if you want confidence

in the

system I need to know that if Trump

tells Thomas Massie and Thomas Massie

tells me that that shit's going to

happen right so this is a new situation

now it's a it's new game because it's

now it's no longer about the guy in

prison now it's about Trump and

Massie so that needs to be

right Trump had said this a while ago

but the clip is going around he made a

bunch of videos when he was running for

office some of them were getting surface

lately but I love this idea Trump

creating some kind of American College

Plan where I assume it's mostly online

but maybe not in which anybody could get

a free education that would be

presumably

certified as a real education now I

don't think I would love if College

turned into only online because the the

in-person part of college is important

but we could probably figure out ways

where people are taking classes they

have something in common could you know

group together and have meetings and

study together and do projects together

and stuff like that so I think it's

solvable and I very much would like to

see the the government

offer the low cost there you have no

excuses as long as you have a laptop

every single person can get a um

respected education and I think if you

add AI to

that we're in good shape the American

College Plan I'm all for it meanwhile

you are not surprised to learn that

there are reports which are

unconfirmed of uh all kinds of potential

election cheating in Maricopa

County now there are some claims in

Wisconsin and maybe somewhere else uh

where that weird pattern of votes going

in a smooth line and then suddenly the

Democrat vote goes straight up because

there's a batch of votes that come in

that's only for one person that actually

happened again now I've only seen the

reports of it Wisconsin is showing that

it happened but the the sudden increase

in one vot didn't wasn't enough in other

words it was too big to rig it was

literally too big to rig if if those

reports are true now I'm having a little

trouble

believing that somebody would have

cheated in exactly that way when it's

exactly what we're looking

for so it's got a little bit of the two

on the nose to it so I'm not going to

say I believe it's true

yet so if you've seen a story about

Wisconsin

having a sudden Surge and only Biden

votes maybe maybe but but just be aware

that it's exactly the kind of thing that

if there were a fake story it would look

just like it

so I'm on the fence on this one so I'm

not going to say that that's likely to

be true or likely to be false let's just

keep a keep an eye on it see if we can

find out for sure but likewise there's

stories about uh

um

Maricopa um I won't give you the details

you can find that in the Gateway pundit

Jordan conradson writing about that um

but we're in the fog of Elections

area and that means that there will be

lots of claims that won't check out

there might be some claims that do check

out and this might be one of them but

it's too early to

know um too early to

now and then uh this from Breitbart Joel

Pollock is writing that uh Iran is

reportedly postponing its promised third

ballistic missile attack on Israel so

Israel and Iran have been doing the you

know if you bomb me I'm going to bomb

you but you bomb me I'm going to bomb

you back

and in the last round um Israel

completely eliminated the air defenses

of Iran so Iran is sitting there with no

air defense and suddenly

at the same time they have no air

defense they're saying you know what you

know what maybe we should have I got an

idea let me just run this past you what

if instead of attacking

Israel while we have no longer any air

defense why don't we uh maybe see if we

can make a deal when Trump gets in

there so that's what they're signaling

they're going to hold off in the hopes

of reaching deal with president-elect

Trump who I call President

Trump what do you think of

that now on one hand of course they're

just being practical because they just

lost their air

defenses so so talking is sort of all

they have left you know what I mean well

we can they haven't bombed our mouths

yet so we can still talk let's

talk

so I'm going to say it again

Trump is the

president-elect but he's also the symbol

of the new age and he's also a

legend he's a legend in his own time

he's still with us he just started he

just started his second term he's and

he's a

legend now if you're a legend can you

get a peace deal that somebody else

can't get done yes you can so Trump has

become what I call everybody's fake

because the fake because is something

I've been teaching my audience for years

now it's the reason you give that's not

the real reason you just need a reason

that sounds good and looks good and

other people think it's a reason but

your real reason might be something else

and that's fine so Iran would like to

not be at War and not be destroyed so

they're fake because is oh hey hey uh G

new president so wouldn't it make sense

to you know hold our hold our fire until

we see what the new president's up to

that's a fake because the real because

might be that they have no air

defense

likewise over in Ukraine and

Russia um the current situation is is uh

who's going to win which is the wrong

frame Trump's going to come in as the

legend who said he's going to it in one

day and then both parties who really

want it to stop Russia doesn't want the

war Ukraine doesn't want the war but

they don't have a way to stop so Trump

comes in and he says I'm going to

threaten both of you I threaten you both

I don't just threaten Russia I threaten

also Ukraine and I'm going to bring the

biggest stick and I'm going to beat the

and a both of you until you give us

peace what's that that's a fake

because because they don't need Trump

because they don't want to be at War and

they also every single person knows you

know there's going to be a land for

peace situation that looks about the way

things look now so Ukraine and Russia

only need a fake because they don't need

a real one they only need a fake one and

here it is it's the fake because because

Trump does does China want to have

better relations with the United States

probably because that would be good for

them do you think that there are

hardliners in China who are telling

president shei no no no we must destroy

the United States we cannot be friends

with them probably probably what happens

when Trump comes in then

suddenly president XI can say oh are you

watching what's happening this guy's

Making Peace plans all over the world

he's he's revived the American economy

he's rebuilding the military you know

guys I I hear you your hard Hardline

stuff and I've been agreeing with you up

to now but but don't you think now would

be the time to

talk and then president she gets a fake

because because

Trump

so do you think you could get rid of Dei

in the military without Trump nope

there's nobody else who could do it you

you need you need a loyalist in there

and it looks like you'll have one so the

fake because that comes along with being

a

legend that escaped two assassination

attempts and had the greatest third Act

of all of all politics of all

time that's really

powerful so the Golden Age could be

completely unlocked with fake because

just because Trump you you could just

add because Trump in front of every

piece of good news that you hear from

now on why does Bill lman say that

everybody's being uh optimistic about

the

country because

Trump everybody wanted to be optimistic

right everybody wanted to invest

everybody wanted to do more

business but they needed Trump to say

everything's okay I'm going to fix

everything you know the country will be

fine we'll pay down our debt oh now I

think those are true but they also

provide your because Trump everything's

because

Trump and that ladies and gentlemen is

my prepared presentation for

today I hope you enjoy the feeling of

optimism that I'm with any luck I

imparted and uh I'm

hoping that uh those of you on locals

will stick around I'm going to say

goodbye to the uh YouTube and x and

Rumble

audience and uh what's

that just looking at some comments and
