The market is a little bit mixed today, but we have high hopes. High hopes. Let me call up some comments and we'll have a show for you. Let me tell you, it'll be amazing. Trust me, it'll be amazing. Probably the best thing you've ever seen.

Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time in your whole life. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need is a copper mug or glass, a tankard, chalice, a canteen, jug or flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.

Thank you, Paul.

Well, let's talk about all the things. Let's say it's been 24 hours since I talked to you last. 23 actually. So did anything happen? Was there any news made in the last 24 hours? Anything at all?

No. Wait, is my cap inside out? No, my cap is not inside out, you bastards. This is the official Coffee with Scott Adams hat. There you go. There you go. You see it's me and then that's also me. This I know this is going to be confusing for you. This is me and this is me. Try to keep those straight.

All right. Did you know that caffeine's impact on your brain could reduce your cravings for alcohol? That's right. Is there anything that coffee can't do? Let me check my notes. Anything coffee can't do? It can't help Kamala Harris win the presidency, but besides that there's nothing it can't do. So coffee, according to a post, might make it easier to get off of alcohol if you wanted to.

Did you know that climate models, as incredible and valuable and accurate as they are, all hundred of them that are different, they're going to make them even better? Wow. Talk about the Golden Age, huh? You got your climate models that are totally believable and now they're going to add, wait for it, AI. That's right. That's right. The existing climate models, oh, almost perfect, almost just right. But what they need is one extra layer of total bullshit called AI. Because if you can't trust your AI model for predicting the temperature of the Earth in 80 years, what can you trust?

Well, for those of you who've never been around predictive models, let me tell you something. It's not the data and it's not the model that determines the answer. Do you know what determines the answer? It's not the data and not the model. What is it? It's the assumptions. Because the assumptions are not data. They're assumptions about, well, I think we got all the variables. And then you compare it to all the other models and you go, well, they're making different assumptions about the clouds, but we like our assumptions. It's the assumptions that give you the output. And if they didn't like the output, they wouldn't tell you what AI did to it. It's pretty much just the assumptions.

Meanwhile, scientists have developed a breakthrough nasal spray that could delay Alzheimer's for over a decade according to SciTechDaily. But they have only put it into animals so far. Now I don't know how many animals actually get Alzheimer's or how many animals even live 10 years, so you can check. But the way you do it is you give it to the animal, let's say a cow, and then you wait 10 years and you say to the cow, hey, do you recognize me? And if a cow just stares at you like it doesn't even know you, that's Alzheimer's. But okay, I'm just kidding. They don't give it to cows. Probably might be a rat or something.

All right. But here's my scientific knowledge question for you. I asked a version of this on X. This will sound like I'm leading to something but it's really for your general knowledge. Number one, if something is tested in the lab and it works in the lab and then it also works in animals, what are the odds it will work in a person? Go in the comments, tell me the odds. There's something that works in the lab and it kills things in the test tube and it works in an animal and it's safe enough and effective enough in the animal. What are the odds that that will translate to human usefulness? Your numbers are way too big. 25%? But you're being funny. The real answer is 5 to 10%. 5 to 10%.

Now let's make it more interesting. There are two reasons that a drug would not be approved for human use. One is if it's too dangerous. Two, if it's not, let's say, bioavailable, meaning that if it could get to the right part of your body, you know, cross whatever membranes and get into whatever parts, then it might be effective. But if it doesn't in a human but maybe it does in a rat, then that would be another reason it doesn't work. Now there could be lots of other reasons it doesn't work, but those are two big ones.

So now I'm going to revise my question. Let's say you're dealing with an already approved drug that's being used for a different purpose. So it's approved and is safe and the safety profile is excellent. So you know for sure that it works in the lab. You already tested it that it works in animals. And you know for sure because it's an approved drug that's been around forever that it won't hurt you. Now what are your odds that it would be approved for a human? Works in the lab, works in an animal, definitely doesn't hurt anybody. What's your odds now? The answer is nobody knows, which is weird because it seems to me that would be a really important thing to know if you were in that line of work.

What percentage of drugs do you think work even in a human but at the end they go, oh damn, it works, it totally works, but you know 10% of the people who took it died so you know it can't be approved? I don't know. But you have to assume that some amount of the drugs are only rejected because they hurt humans but they didn't hurt the rat.

All right. Now suppose you knew also that since it was an approved drug it had a good ability to sort of become bioavailable. In other words, it's already something used in humans so it must be able to get to the good parts of a human. But depending on what your new use for it is, it might need to get into the brain versus the heart versus the, but so maybe there's a difference there. So let's say you knew it was bioavailable in general for some other purpose, worked in a lab, worked in an animal, definitely is not dangerous, and is bioavailable meaning it gets to the right parts of the body for some other use. Now what are the odds that that would work?

If you want to know what the reason I'm asking for is that ivermectin works against cancer in a lab and apparently it's worked against cancer in some animals. And ivermectin is known to be safe for human use. I mean nothing is 100%, but in terms of meds it's one of the safer ones. And we know it's bioavailable because it works against not only what it was meant for, some kind of parasites or whatever, but it also seemed to have some related benefits for COVID, which would be a whole different thing. So it can get to a worm or a bug in your body, whatever it is, and it can also get to whatever is affecting a virus.

So now what are the odds, knowing all of those things, that the lab tests of ivermectin would translate into human success? Does anybody have a guess? Well I don't. But it would be really interesting if that's the sort of thing that science could sort out. Because wouldn't you like to know what the odds of a specific drug is versus what are the odds of drugs in general? So if you say to me we developed this thing and it works in the lab and it works in an animal and then you calculate the odds from that alone, I feel like that's not treating it as individual enough. I feel like each specific drug, probably scientists could come up with an estimate for that kind of drug. You know, more like, well this one's 80% but this one's more like 10%. So anyway, we should know that.

All right, so let's get into the politics. So according to Ars Technica, the advertisers who may have been hesitant to advertise on X before because of politics or because of their own preferences or whatever, maybe looking to moderate that and maybe get back to advertising on X. Do you know why? Because the advertisers are concerned that if they don't advertise on X, Elon Musk might have a bad opinion of them for not advertising on his platform. And he might have the ear of the president and the president controls the government which has a lot of control over companies. So if you were a company that ever wanted the US government to do something in the future that would help you, might be good to know that you had advertised on the only free speech platform.

Now how much do I like that? Not at all. You shouldn't be happy about that because what is being described is essentially bribery. Am I right? I mean it wouldn't be illegal, but if the reason that somebody's going to advertise on X is so that they can preserve their options with the government, that's not good. That's not the country you want to live in. You don't want people choosing their advertising space based on revenge from the government. So no, not cool.

Now I'm also not sure that it's real. Ars Technica says that people are thinking this way and it would be consistent with everything we know about how money works. We do know big companies will move large amounts of money to whatever is influential, you know, whether it's lobbyists or anything else. So I don't think they're wrong in terms of a prediction, but I don't love to see it. As much as I love everything about X and I love seeing Elon Musk involved in the government exactly the way he is, I don't love that this is the way X would become profitable. Although I want it to be profitable. So anyway, it's not exactly the right incentive structure.

Meanwhile, in news that it took me 30 minutes to believe, the first 30 minutes I thought it was a joke, that Alex Jones's InfoWars, all the assets for that company that went up for auction because of the Sandy Hook issues, was purchased by the company that owns The Onion. So obviously I didn't believe it. I'm like, okay that didn't happen. No, no, the satirical company. That's why it's a joke because you know it'd be funny if The Onion bought it. So obviously it's not The Onion. And then I would see another post on X and I think, huh, wow this is a good prank. It really fooled a lot of people. And then I see more and then see it attributed to the AP and I thought, wait a minute, there are a lot of details on this story. And then I found out like the name of the parent company. I'm thinking, huh, did this actually happen in the actual real world? The Onion bought InfoWars.

Now I heard somebody say that they thought that the Sandy Hook victims were behind it to get it to be an anti-gun platform or something. But am I wrong that The Onion stopped being funny several years ago? Am I wrong about that? Do you remember when The Onion was the funniest thing on the internet? I mean by far it was just the funniest thing on the internet. And then something happened and I don't know. I think maybe I changed or maybe I just wasn't seeing their posts as much but they kind of disappeared. Or at least they didn't produce any viral content because I just stopped seeing them. So I didn't know what happened to The Onion. I thought they closed or something. But apparently they changed management and I don't know what their management is up to but they've now bought two properties that you'd have to wonder why they would do it. The Onion as it was dying and InfoWars, just the assets. But if he's buying a studio, situation in an IP and a bunch of customers, I maybe. But if you were leaning, what good would it be to have a bunch of customer lists of people who watched InfoWars? I don't know. There's something about this story that isn't making sense. So until we see what the buyer has in mind for this we won't really know what's happening here.

All right, I got a question for you. There's another story. Sounds like the same story that's every day in the news. But there's another teacher. This one's a woman who is allegedly, she raped a 13-year-old boy. And she ditched her husband for the boy that she called her crystal meth. So now when they show the picture of the woman you look at her eyes in the photograph and you say to yourself, oh okay I've seen those eyes before. You've seen them on Adam Schiff. You've seen them in Charles Manson. You've seen them in AOC. And you've seen them in a lot of TikTok videos where people were shaving their heads and acting crazy.

And so here's my question. Do you believe that AI can spot crazy people by their eyes if you asked it to? Let me tell you the answer in advance. Yes, you definitely can. If you trained AI to spot people who are mentally ill or at least going to be acting way outside the box of normal behavior, you could do it. Now I don't think you could do it 100%. I do think there are some people who just have sort of bug eyes and maybe Adam Schiff is one of them. I don't know. But I think you could get 80%. Wouldn't you like to know if somebody's got mental illness just by their eyes? Okay, and that's just by how wide they are. I think if you started looking at like the pupils you get a whole different level of knowledge. So yes, I believe it is inevitable that AI will start trying to spot crazy people by their eyes. Not crazy but maybe criminally inappropriate people.

Well, in the midst of the busiest news day, we're going to talk about all the appointments. There was a UAP hearing. UAP being the new word for UFOs basically. And there's a whistleblower, Lue Elizondo, who says the United States has UAP technologies not made by our government or any other government. And Tim Gallaudet is telling us that UAPs represent a new realization that we are not the only advanced intelligence in our universe. And allegedly other governments also have some UAP technology that they're trying to reverse engineer.

If I may summarize all of this news, once again there's somebody who does not have a photograph, has no personal firsthand knowledge of anything. And no, I don't believe a single thing about the UAP reports. Not a single thing. I do not believe there is an alien intelligence. I do not believe there's an ancient civilization of beings that are in the ocean and they've got crafts that sometimes come out of the ocean. I do not believe one thing about this story. Do you know why? Because this story could have been the same story for the last 50 years. There's not one time that I've been alive that you couldn't trot out a whistleblower to say that the same damn stuff. What changed? Where's my video? Where's my piece of material that could have only been made in space? Nothing. Nothing there. Just nothing.

So no, I could be wrong. And normally I would take this as what I call a recreational belief. Like I want to believe it. I'd love to believe it. But no, this fits every pattern of a thing that hasn't been true and won't be true for my entire life basically. So I hate to ruin it but I don't think there are any UAPs. However, in the Dilbert comic, which you would have to subscribe to on either X or the Locals platform to see, Dogbert does have a UAP. So Dogbert's going to be using Dilbert's UAP that he invented in his home lab.

Well here's my big theme for today. Are you ready for the big theme for today? Big theme: a national correction is in process. Meaning that the United States had gone completely off the rails. But for reasons that seem to be almost entirely about Trump, everything seems to have reversed and started moving in the right direction just everywhere. Now there might be some exceptions of course, but the number of things that are suddenly moving in the right direction are mind-boggling, jaw-dropping, makes your hair catch on fire.

Let me give you some examples. Now the Republicans have the presidency, the Senate. They have, it's now confirmed they will have the House by maybe four or five votes. And of course the majority in the Supreme Court. So that is clearly the country saying, hey these people, the Democrats, were not getting it done. So we're going to correct. And boy did they correct. Not only did they correct, they gave us an advantage in the actual total vote, not just the Electoral College, you know the popular vote. So that's big.

We've seen a couple of Soros DAs removed in California. So as long as the number of Soros prosecutors are moving backwards, that's great. We've seen that Elon Musk is committed to getting Republicans elected so he'll have a sort of an anti-Soros fund that will be operating against Soros. That's great. We see that the Trump transition team is considering creating some kind of board review to remove generals and admirals that are too woke and too worthless. Yes, thank you.

You know I've been telling you for a long time that I was trying to understand why if you see let's say a senator who does an interview on the news, even if you don't agree with them and even if you think they're lying, you come away thinking, okay that's a pretty smart person. You know I don't trust him but smart. And you see a scientist and you say, ah I'm not sure I believe all that but obviously you're smart. And generally speaking public figures who have reached some level, they're usually pretty smart. But whenever I would watch the generals who would come on, let's say during the Trump administration even before that, when they were done I would think to myself, why don't they come off as smart? Like why does General Milley just doesn't look like even a Democrat senator. Or he just doesn't come off as smart. And I won't name names but there are several others that fall in that category where they're not just not smart, they seem almost aggressively dumb. And not because of their politics because they don't really get political most of the time. So I'm not even judging them on politics. I'm just demeanor and presentation and you know just the vibe. It's like you just don't seem that smart.

So if you add that to the fact that you know there's wokeness that's infected them and their political appointees, in many cases they didn't get all the way there based on talent. It was maybe politics. It's good to see that there's going to be a tough look at which ones to remove.

I would argue that lawfare against Trump may have ended. And now that the Republicans are firmly in charge I would expect that there will not be more lawfare against Republicans. What we hope, well I guess we don't all hope this but I hope, what I hope is that there is not any gross lawfare against Democrats. I want to say clearly and loudly and publicly I do not favor any revenge lawfare. None. I do favor really going after real crimes. And to me it seems there are some pretty obvious real crimes that have not been addressed.

So if Matt Gaetz, as you all know by now Matt Gaetz has been nominated, we don't know if he can get confirmed. Even if there's a recess appointment I think there's some question about that. But I do love the fact that whoever is going to be the AG, whether it's Matt Gaetz or not, it's going to end lawfare at least against Republicans.

Now I think we have an obligation and a responsibility. It's a Spider-Man problem. Republicans now have the power and the Republican voters I argue have power over the government. That is not the case the other way. I don't believe the public has power over the Democrat government except to remove them. But in the Republican world they really do listen to the base and they respond pretty quickly. So I think that those who support the government should make sure that if you got your choice, the best way to keep it is to not go crazy with lawfare when it's just not called for. But again nobody's above the law. So if it's a real crime and we all saw it and there's transparency involved about going after it, yes. Yes on that.

Diddy is in jail and Hollywood is basically completely neutered. And the celebrities that were talking about Harris, they decided to shut the fuck up after the election because I think they noticed they were not the majority. I think the illusion that Hollywood was always under is that they were sort of the leading voices of the rational majority. That was sort of the minimum they had to understand about themselves, their role in the world. Well I'm an actor and I wouldn't get involved in this except the majority doesn't have as good a voice as I do because I get attention. So for the benefit of the majority I will be their voice. And then they found out they weren't the majority.

I think that that is the greatest mind fuck of all time. It didn't happen to me so I'm not experiencing it but imagine if you thought you were the majority and you found out you weren't. And you thought that you were on the side of the angels and you found out you were pretty much supporting a criminal gang. Because I think the Democrats are just filled with RICO problems and money laundering and bribery. I don't know how much we'll ever uncover but it seems like the entire Democratic Party is just a criminal organization at this point. And by the way I'm not joking about that. In my personal opinion without the benefit of any court cases that would back me up on this, my impression is if you look at the totality of what Democrats are doing and have been doing it looks like a criminal organization. Like actually literally. It's made to move large amounts of money through various organizations that they control. And that appears to be the main purpose because the only thing they're always in favor of is moving a large amount of money through any Democratic controlled organization. It doesn't even matter if it's BLM or climate change or anything else. Large amounts of money move it through a big activity because then they all get a taste. That's where the bribery happens. That's where the money laundering happens.

So to me I think the overwhelming driving force of the Democrat Party has been money laundering and bribery at the working level. And then the voters have just been confused because I think the voters that I'm looking at, two political parties, and I like what one of them says but why is it that when I keep agreeing and voting for the one that keeps saying what I like to hear, my life is not improving? And that's what everybody noticed. Their life didn't improve. They were buying into what the Democrats were saying but their life didn't get better. And now everybody noticed. That's the benefit of having Trump having been in office once. You just had a direct comparison. You could just look at it and say I like that better.

So I think a more correct frame is that the Democrat Party in my opinion, and again without the benefit of court endorsed findings, it looks like it's primarily a criminal activity at least at the leadership levels. They're trading stocks and making deals and getting their gold bars and pointing people to jobs that they're not qualified for and it just all looks like criminal to me.

Now when you look at the Republican side, let us try to find some unity here. And let me say this. Do I believe that there are no Republicans trying to get away with stealing money? No I don't believe that. I'm sure there's some Republicans looking to steal some money. What I don't see is that it seems like that's their only job. The Democrats act like it's their only job. It's like everything is pushing in that direction. And the Republicans are trying to actually do a variety of things that seem like they're good for the country.

All right, here's some more corrections. So maybe this Diddy thing will, and the fact that there will be a Republican AG, may take a big bite out of the whole pedophile situation which I've never known how big it really was. But Hollywood took a beating on the election and everything else. The old Diddy situation is shutting people up.

And here's another one. According to Fortune Magazine, Trump's election is going to create a DEI reckoning that forces companies to either double down or to step away from it. That seems like really good news. So there are now I think maybe 20 companies, biggish companies, that have cancelled or cut down on their DEI. And there should be more to come. But I also expect that when the government says it's illegal so you have to get rid of it in the government, I think the big companies have to fold. I think they have to follow. So you may see the end of DEI.

I can tell you that I've heard almost no wokeness for a week. It used to be all the news, all the zeitgeist was here's some more wokeness and then we would complain about it. Here's some more and then we complain about it. And it just never stopped. I feel like the wokeness just stopped. The people who would even bring up these topics, they just stopped. Because now they realize what the public thinks.

The entire trans situation, which I always like to remind I'm pro adults doing whatever they need to want to, just living their life the way they want to. But of course kids in bathrooms and sports are special cases and they have to be adjudicated. But I feel like the trans topic will just sort of disappear. Or not disappear. I think it will shrink to the size it should have been naturally. Its natural size should have been small and maybe it'll just go back to that. But again I wish the best for the trans community.

CNN and MSNBC both look like they're dead. It looks like they're just on fumes. Is the Washington Post still alive? Did the Washington Post close? And The Daily Beast is having problems and Gawker closed. And of course the old version of Twitter is dead. And now ABC is apparently trying to figure out how to bring in a pro-Trump voice to The View and maybe some of their other shows because ABC got hammered so badly for handling the debates poorly. So imagine how in the world are they going to put a pro-Trump voice on The View.

All right I'll do it. I'll do it. Now I'm going to obviously need to identify as a woman but if there was one place in the world I could identify as a woman and everybody would shut the fuck up about it it would be The View. So if you want me on The View I am willing to identify as a woman. I'll still dress the same because I'll be like a poorly dressed woman. I'll look exactly the same. Just very poorly dressed. And I think I'd be great. But I'd have to do it from home because I don't want to commute.

Joy Reid deleted her X account. Now there is no Joy on X. So that's moving in the right direction. I will not have to see her mental illness being presented as content.

But who else? Oh Don Lemon is quitting. So Don Lemon, the unluckiest person in media, decided that he would quit X on the same week that Trump set the entire news business on fire by nominating the most provocative people you could possibly ever nominate. And then poor Don Lemon's trying to get some attention and I'm quitting what I call Twitter because that's an insult to it. Have you heard that Pete Hegseth is going to be the Secretary of Defense? I know but you have. Anybody heard I'm quitting Twitter? The Attorney General is going to be Matt Gaetz. Maybe I know but also I won't be posting on Twitter. Sorry Don, your message has been cancelled by bigger news. No one cares.

Meanwhile the star for Disney's Snow White, Rachel Zegler, she has ill feelings about Trump and all of his voters. So that means that Disney's Snow White movie will lose about a billion dollars. So do you think that you could be an actress and get another job if you just cost your employer a billion dollars? Because this probably cost them a billion dollars. Because I don't know how many conservatives would have watched this piece of garbage content anyway. But once the main actress says you to half of the country, half of the country is going to leave that on the shelf. So let's say half the country's children will not be indoctrinated by whatever the hell is on Snow White. So that's good news.

Ohio lawmakers passed a bill banning biological males from girls' bathrooms. Most of you would call that a move in the right direction, wouldn't you?

And let's see. Did you know that FEMA, you know that story about the woman who was in charge of one area and she told people to stay away from homes that had Trump signs? In other words don't help Trump voters in emergency. Now the first time I heard that I told you I thought well that's not true. I mean that's like an obvious hoax. Obviously there could not possibly be anything in writing at FEMA, in writing, that says don't help Trump supporters during an emergency. That couldn't possibly be true. It's true. It's completely true. It's worse than that. It wasn't just one person. The female worker who got fired says it's not isolated and the female workers were instructed to do it in the Carolinas too according to the Gateway Pundit. It's not only true it was a general FEMA or it was wider than one area. It wasn't completely probably.

Now that's the bad news right? Here's the good news. Trump's in charge of FEMA now I guess that shit's just got fixed. So here's another thing that got fixed just because Trump is coming. He's not even there yet and I guarantee you they're getting rid of that rule right? Do you think FEMA is waiting until they get a new boss or are they saying let's maybe we should kind of quickly revise the way we've been doing this before he gets in charge. Maybe we should hurry up and clean up our own house and delete all these records. So watching how guilty people know they are and watching them change their behavior just in anticipation of Trump is pretty awesome. It's pretty awesome.

Anyway so those are all the things that are going our way. Have you ever seen so many things go your way at the same time? It really is a remarkable time. You know when Trump called it the Golden Age you always wonder is that hyperbole? I don't think it is. I think everything is lining up in a way I've never seen. I've never seen or felt anything like this. It's the Golden Age. It's really here. Now of course we have to make it. It's not going to be easy. There'll be plenty of challenges.

But Rasmussen did a poll on mass deportations. 64% of likely voters approve of Trump's promise to, quote, on day one launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out. Two-thirds of the country is on board with a massive deportation. Do you think things are changing? Everything is moving in the right direction at the moment.

Meanwhile Jack Smith, one of the guys going after Trump in the lawfare cases, he reportedly is going to step down before Trump gets into office. Okay once again we see things are being set right simply by Trump is on the way. Trump hasn't even gotten there to fire anybody yet and they're quitting in anticipation correctly that they will be fired.

Meanwhile Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have ordered the FBI to preserve, or requested to preserve, all records on the Jack Smith investigation. Yes they're going to investigate the investigator. How great is that? They're going to investigate the investigator because he damn well needs to be investigated. From a public perspective he definitely needs to be investigated. I mean there's some stuff we need to know about that situation.

Meanwhile Mark Ruffalo, you know him from The Avengers and other movies, he's said now about the election because he was one of the notable backers of Harris. He said, quote, and this is according to a Breitbart headline, he said quote we got our asses kicked. Now Breitbart, I don't normally like to give advice to publications. Breitbart you really missed an opportunity here. This is the story: Mark Ruffalo said we got our asses kicked. Here's the headline you should have used: Hulk sulk. You're welcome. It's my best joke of the day. Hulk sulk. If you watch The Avengers that's pretty funny.

All right. Seattle has started throwing shoplifters and petty criminals in jail for the first time in four years. I guess the first two years they said it was the pandemic you know they didn't want people in close quarters so they reduced their people in jail. And then they said they didn't have resources because they probably defunded the police. But now they have resources and they have room in jail so they're throwing their petty criminals back in jail. So again things are going your way in this big self-correcting country that we have that is so wonderful.

This week Joe Rogan says that the Harris-Walz campaign wanted to make sure that he didn't talk about marijuana legalization if he did an interview with Harris. Now he said quote I think they had requirements on things that she didn't want to talk about. She didn't want to talk about marijuana legalization which I thought was hilarious said Joe Rogan.

Now here's my question. I was struck in two different ways. Number one of course the fact that anybody would go to an interview and say there's something that's off topic that's just so weak. And especially if the topic is one of national concern and you're running for office. Yeah no there should not be anything off topic. So the Harris campaign looks weak and pathetic and you can see why they lost. However I'm not entirely sure that a private conversation with the campaign should be divulged. On the other hand it's a public interest so I'm going to say yes in this special case yes. But generally speaking I'm not a fan of anybody revealing a private conversation. But it was somebody running for president and it was a matter of national concern and you know the event over. There's no security issue to it. Now but if she had become president I think that maybe then he should have, maybe. Well I don't know. Maybe it's still appropriate. Yeah I'm just sort of thinking that one through as I go. I just don't like private conversations being revealed unless you have a really good reason. I've revealed a few private things that Trump said to me that one time in 2018 when I met him for a few minutes but it was only because they make him look smart. So I feel completely confident that if I say Trump knew something was going to happen years before it happened that if he heard that he'd say oh that's fine you know. So I don't feel like that's a risk.

Did you watch the video of Biden and Trump meeting for their peaceful turnover of power? Apparently they had a good chat for two hours. Biden was all smiles. I've never seen him so happy to turn over power to Hitler. Do you think that watching him roll over so happily is enough to convince Democrats that they've been lied to about Hitler coming into office? Do you think they figured it out yet? Because I figure that's enough for at least some of them to say wait a minute you said Hitler was coming but every one of you is acting like Hitler isn't coming. So how did you immediately go from Hitler's coming to oh everything's normal? How'd you do that? Were you lying to us the entire time? And of course they were lying to the public the entire time. But do Democrats see it? Because as obvious as it is to Republicans the way cognitive dissonance works is that it can blind even a smart person to the obvious. So I suspect that even smart Democrats somehow are creating in their minds a blind spot to turn off the fact that everybody said he was Hitler for sure and as soon as he got elected they acted like he's definitely not Hitler. The one thing we know for sure like not even a there's not even a chance of it. Like it didn't even go from definitely Hitler to well you better watch out he might be Hitler. Like that would seem like the normal way to step down but it went from he's definitely Hitler to there's not really any problem here at all that we see. Let's just act totally normally and I think everything will be fine. How do you not notice that?

Anyway that should be the end of the Democrat Party for a decade. Do you think that Trump made any deals with Biden? It's possible although it would be a kind of a risky way to do it you know because things could get out. But if I were Trump you could imagine a scenario in which he would say privately to Biden look I think you and I should make an agreement. We're going to keep our families out of it and I plan to pardon Hunter if you'd like me to pardon you or any member of your family. I will take care of that but I'm going to ask for the same. But basically I want you to cooperate basically. I don't know would that be illegal to make a deal like that? I think the president has that flexibility. I don't know if it's all legal but I wouldn't mind. As much as I think Hunter did some imprisonable stuff I would rather the country climb back from attacking families. We should at least get back to Mafia standards where the families left out of it. You can go as hard as you want at the candidate but just leave the family out of it. So you could sort of imagine Trump saying you went too far with my family. I'm not going to return that to you. And just say can we make a peace? Can we bury that hatchet now? I don't think it happened. It's just sort of a recreationally fun speculation anyway.

A reporter asked Biden as he was in the I guess one of those little ceremonial rooms, asked him if he thinks he can get a hostage deal done by the end of the term. And when Biden was asked if he could get a hostage deal done by the end of the term for Israel, Biden said quote do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you? Okay so that's what we have.

And what we're moving to is Trump. Did Trump get anything done yesterday? Yes. Well Trump didn't do this but the Senate picked their Majority Leader. Now I don't know much about this particular senator but there will be a lot of news breaking about him and I believe I'll learn about him soon. Sorry I had to do that. I have some concerns about whether he will really work with Trump as well as he says he will. I think on most things he will. But he's been critical of Trump in the past so he does not count as a loyalist per se. Definitely a loyal Republican but not a Trump loyalist. So we'll see. I would say the verdict is out. So that can either be a superstar or less than that and I believe that is completely in his hands. He's a little bit of a blank slate. I mean people who really know the inner workings of things may have an opinion but the rest of us don't really have any idea. He's just like a brand new character on the stage for most of us. So I'm going to say open mind. He might be great but keep an eye on it.

So as you've already heard Matt Gaetz has been nominated by Trump to be the Attorney General. The Wall Street Journal which is not wild about this says quote in the editorial this is a bad choice for the attorney general that would undermine confidence in the law. Undermine confidence in the law? Are you kidding? Who has confidence in the law? How could you possibly undermine confidence in the law? It's 2024. We've been lawed way beyond any sense that the law has been operating on our behalf. No I don't have any confidence in the law. Are you kidding me? Or science or just about anything else at the moment.

So and then they noted that Gaetz has a law degree from William and Mary but that he's going to cause all kinds of provocations and it's going to be a bunch of problems blah blah blah blah blah. Now their argument seems to be that he's a performer and provocateur and that that's the wrong fit for the Attorney General.

Can I give some education to the Wall Street Journal editorial board? Would you mind if I taught the people who are supposedly experts in business some basic facts about business? Do you mind if I educate them? All right I'm Wall Street Journal editorial board. I'm taking you aside. Let me explain something to you. It goes like this. If I were to encounter a kitten here's how I would act. A cute little kitten. Ah here's a little scratch. If I were to encounter somebody trying to kill me I would react more like and try to fight it off. If I went to a job interview I would act polite and professional. If I were elected to Congress and I knew that getting attention was just like money I would be provocative. In other words because I have a functional brain I will modify my behavior for the circumstances so that I get the best pull from the certain circumstance.

Now if the Wall Street Journal thinks that Gaetz is going to go to the Attorney General job and act the same way that he acted in Congress where provocation was rewarded and then he would go where provocation is definitely not rewarded and he would not figure that out and you don't think he's smart enough to know that the way you act as an attorney general is different than you act if you're a member of Congress especially young member of Congress and different than you would act if you were on the Supreme Court and different than you would act if you were a babysitter and different than you would act in every place in the world. How about everybody acts different when the context changes? Trump does. Have you ever seen Trump interact with say teenagers or the barber shop or the employees at McDonald's? Does Trump act exactly the same way when he's talking to the employees at McDonald's as he does when he's talking to the fake news? No he modifies his performance to the situation.

If you don't think Gaetz is smart enough to modify his performance for the situation you shouldn't be writing editorials for the Wall Street Journal. I mean that's kid stuff. This is basic. So that's disappointing from The Wall Street Journal.

And then of course there's a lot of worry that this is a sign that Trump is going to get busy with lawfare. Maybe so. Let me say this clearly. Having a loyalist who's as, let's say whose risk reward profile is what Gaetz's is, it does open the possibility that we could be, I would be surprised by it but that there could be a little bit of lawfare that you didn't see coming. Some little revenge. Now as I've told you too many times I would not be in favor of that at all and I will immediately at least be one of the voices pushing back if I think he goes too far. However that is a risk I'm really willing to take. Right the world is not risk free. But what we have is a situation where the Department of Justice in my opinion is completely broken and has become a lawfare organization. The only person I would trust to dismantle an existing lawfare situation is somebody like Matt Gaetz. Or if I may say exactly Matt Gaetz and not even just somebody like Matt Gaetz. Matt Gaetz like he would be my number one choice in the whole world because he's young enough, he's aggressive enough, he has the ear of the president and he's watched the lawfare and presumably some of it was against him. So we need more than we need anything in this country we need somebody to go in and just brutally get rid of the lawfare leaning people.

Now does that give you the risk that the pendulum goes too far and then Republicans become a little lawfare-y themselves? Yes that is a risk and that is your job not just Matt Gaetz's job not the president's job alone. This is your job as supporters of the president if you were or even if you weren't you know if you're just acting as a citizen. As a citizen you need to be the gatekeepers to make sure that doesn't go too far. All right I plan to be very serious about that because it's a legitimate concern. If I were a Democrat I would definitely be worried about that no doubt about it. I'd be worried about that. And I think it's our responsibility to make sure that that stays within, you know if you broke a real law then that has to be addressed.

Now who would be worried about that? Well we've got Adam Schiff who's a little worried about it and yeah so Adam Schiff is not too happy about the Matt Gaetz situation. Now Matt Gaetz might not be confirmed so he might not have enough support and there might not, certainly if he needs Democrats. But apparently they can do something clever with the rules where if Trump, let's see if the two members of Congress if the Senate and the House do not agree on an adjournment, let's say one wants to adjourn and one doesn't, then if they don't agree or they don't agree on the timing of it then the president can adjourn them. So once they're adjourned then you can do these recess appointments. Now I think they're not permanent. I think they're two years or something like that but you can get a lot done in two years. So we don't know for sure if the Democrats have a way to thwart that but it'll be fun to watch.

Now the point and Matt Gaetz has already resigned his job by the way which as some have pointed out is a total baller move because he's basically said you know I'm in. You know I'm going to do whatever it takes. I'm in. On the other hand it might be a practical decision because it also opens up space and it gives Trump another hit on the Overton window. So the Overton window is you create so much news that even if there's some of it that normally would be negative to you you overwhelm it with new news. So this would create the situation where Trump, obviously talking to DeSantis it would be DeSantis's decision could I think just select a temporary new representative. Is that how it works? Do I have the process right? It's DeSantis right? DeSantis gets to fill the space until the next election. Is that correct?

Now who do you think he'd fill the space with? Well it turns out that Laura Trump has expressed interest in an interview. Now she didn't say it directly she just said if asked you know she would of course serve. Now that's a yes. How much fun would that be? Because she's coming off of what looks like a terrific job for the RNC and she fits every, she checks off every box. She's definitely smart enough. She's great on TV. She's got central casting look. She's as loyal as you could possibly be. It's hard to imagine that there's any box she doesn't check. So I'd be for it. But it would also be great provocative news to add to the whole cycle.

Then there's also people who say that there's some ethics report that might be in the works against Gaetz and if he's no longer in the House then any ethics report would presumably just go away because there's no point in it. So there could be several reasons for him to announce he's leaving early. But sure made things interesting.

Let's see. Eric Swalwell doesn't like it. Adam Schiff doesn't like Gaetz being there. And what do those two guys have in common? Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell what do they have in common? I think I've told you that in the Democrat world they have regular liars that would be just you know any senator representative they're going to say things or exaggerations about Trump or maybe they'll spread one of the hoaxes or something but sort of general ordinary political lying. But when they need somebody to lie the big lies like the really big whoppers the ones that even the regular Democrats won't touch they trot out Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell every time. It's always those two right? So once you realize that they're the designated liars and that you know the ones that come out with them are like you know Woodward and Brennan sometimes Clapper. Like there's this group of people who always accompany the biggest lie. So the two of the biggest lie guys Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell are like oh no they're all over TV and well not on TV in Schiff's case but they're both the vocal ones.

Now I think they both have something to worry about. Again they should be completely protected against lawfare 100% but it seems to me there are observable behaviors that need to be looked into that a normal reasonable person would say yeah we kind of need to look into that. So I don't want it to cross any barriers into lawfare but I could see why they'd be worried.

All right the choice of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. I'm watching a number of people have a reaction very similar to my own which is what that can't be true. Pete Hegseth? Wait you're talking about Pete Hegseth? Are you pronouncing that right? The you talk about the Fox weekend host? You couldn't even get like a weekday host? You had to get like a weekend host? And then you dig down and you find out that number one he's brilliant and he's got Harvard and Yale on his resume and he spent a lot of time in some pretty serious military positions and he was once considered for head of the VA the first administration because he's done so much work for veterans. And then I said to myself wait a minute he knows the military from the bottom up. He's definitely loyal to Trump. And then I watched some clips where he is super anti-woke and wants to get rid of all the generals who would be DEI and woke people. And I said to myself I've never seen anyone more perfect for the job. And he also has the central casting thing. Has the look.

So I went from this is stupid to is this genius? Is this as smart as it looks? Because it might be. Like not Yale. I saw a Yale I think I thought there was some Yale. He had two degrees so I'll take a fact check on that. There might be a fact check on his degrees but in any case he is both brilliant and he has enough connections with and experience with and all the right ways the military that he doesn't have to do the jobs of the people who would work for him. That's their jobs. But for the big decision-making things, the bold changes, the getting rid of a general, the big changes that we might need to make in funding and spending and all those things yeah. You know what I say open mind and I'm sure he was looked at very carefully for that job and let's see what happens. I do think that I want somebody that Trump can trust more than I want somebody with experience and I'll say that with no hesitation for that job. The experience doesn't count as much because you know it knows how to run itself no matter who the boss is. But for the special things that the boss has to do such as fire a general or change the general direction to be more compatible with what Trump wants or even just to make sure that when Trump says he wants something it actually gets executed and not slow walked. So you need somebody who can recognize the slow walk. Like when something's ordered they go oh yeah we'll do that but it takes five years. So and then you need somebody say no it doesn't it takes two months to do it anyway. So he might be a great choice.

Tulsi Gabbard Director of National Intelligence. Oh well let me say one more thing about Pete Hegseth. I saw a video by Don Lemon before he left Twitter as he calls it. I call it X. And he was laughing and mocking that Pete Hegseth would be chosen for Secretary of Defense. So let me summarize the situation for you. There was a guy named Don Lemon who worked for a network TV outfit. There was a guy named Pete Hegseth who worked for a competing TV news outlet. Probably pretty similar pay, pretty similar visibility. And one of them just got promoted to the Secretary of Defense in charge of the strongest military in the history of the known universe. The other one is Don and he just left X. Okay so you can sort of see why he'd have an attitude about it. Didn't work out the way he hoped.

Now who else got a good promotion? Oh somebody else got a good promotion. There was this woman you may have heard of her. She was on the terrorist watch list. Yeah she was on the terrorist watch list. That's dangerous. So but she got promoted to be the Director of National Intelligence. Her name is Tulsi Gabbard. Yep went from being on the terrorist watch list so she couldn't fly without people following around to the boss of all those people. Well not all the people in the TSA I suppose but that's like the head intelligence job now. Is Tulsi Gabbard the right choice for that? I like it. I like it a lot. Yeah I'm all in on that one. And again can you trust Tulsi Gabbard to be working productively and to be honest with Trump? Yes yes yes yes. So love it. I think she'll be confirmed.

Rubio for Secretary of State. Now I know some of you are thinking Rubio might be too neocon. I don't think you have to worry about that at all. Here's why. He's got a boss called Trump. Rubio is not going to be out like doing his own thing. Rubio is smart enough. He's been around enough that he knows what that job is. The job is to do the work of the president. If he has a problem with the president's direction he'll talk to him privately but no. Do I think that Rubio has the experience, the personality, the character, the I don't know the vision? Yes yes he has all that. Could Rubio be a president someday? Yes absolutely. I don't know if he'd be my first choice depends who's running but no I don't have any problems with him at all. And I'm not worried about the neocon thing because I think that as long as Trump's the boss that takes care of itself.

Then the left is running out of insults. They can't even figure out how to insult anybody. So you may have heard that the DOGE effort, DOGE which stands for Department of Government Efficiency, the Elon Musk effort to make the government more efficient and smaller and cost less, will now be joined with Vivek Ramaswamy. So they will partner on this effort. I don't know if they have a one in charge or they're partners or whatever and maybe they don't need to even have that but what do you think of that?

Let me tell you what Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC says. He says that Musk got quote a humiliating demotion from the head of DOGE to simply a co-worker with Vivek. Yeah that was a humiliating demotion to find that one of the most capable people we've ever seen even anywhere near our government is going to work on the hardest problem we've ever had to crack which is how do you fix the government. Now you have to work really hard to turn that positive into a negative. It would be like if you found that Ben Franklin if he had been alive at the same time Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison have teamed up and then Lawrence O'Donnell would be it's a humiliating demotion for Ben Franklin. And I'd be like okay you realize they're probably better together right? Humiliating demotion. And then you look at Lawrence O'Donnell's face and he has that mental illness face where his smile doesn't match what he's saying. And a humiliating demotion he's like enjoying it too much. It's like some weird almost looks like he's masturbating under the desk when he talks almost anyway.

There was some concern about security because if you start cutting the government there's a lot of people in the government who are very very bad people and literally murderers. So you know or killers let's say. But our government includes a lot of people who have killed people right? People who are in the military have killed people. People in the intelligence community have killed people. People in the Senate have voted for things that they knew would kill people. So the government is actually the one organization that has more killers in it than prison I think as a percentage certainly as a number. But don't you think there are more killers literally killers in the government than there are in their prisons? Because most of the prisoners are not murderers but there's a whole lot of people in the State Department the military and the government who have been in the military and literally have killed people right?

So if you're trying to downsize and take away something that's valuable to the largest group of literally killers that we have outside of the military itself you know the active military it's dangerous. So Musk actually said on X yeah I have to say that cutting this much waste will make a lot of bad people angry. We need extra tight security. But Joshua Hartley on X took it to another level and I boosted this one. He said maybe we should skip the massive inauguration ceremony. Too much security risk given who you are planning to expose, fire and dismantle have been waging shadow wars domestically and internationally for the past 60 years. Celebrate when balance and order are restored.

You know what I agree with that. As much as I think an inauguration ceremony is sort of good for the body of the country you know it gives us moments and these moments create the country you know these moments where we all focus on the same thing. But I think it's too dangerous to put this government outdoors at this point in time and it's outdoors right now. All it takes is, well I don't have to give the bad guys any ideas right? I think maybe the era of large outdoor events where you have multiple members of government there like are we going to put our president and our vice president on the same stage? Are we really going to do that? Because if any one of them is on the stage the other one needs to be in the bunker or you know at least the vice president does. So and what if somebody says it's more than a twofer? You know what if you get several of them like some kind of event that kills more than one person? This is really scary.

Now Trump is not likely to back down so I think he is most likely to go ahead and do it publicly. But let me just say from the perspective of one citizen this is just my opinion. This is not worth the risk to me. So I'll just say personally that level of risk of going in public with these people that you've chosen especially that's more risk than I'm willing to accept for the benefit of just having a TV event that you didn't really need to do. So maybe some of you disagree with me and I would respect that disagreement but we really are in a different time and we don't know the size of the risk. And I think all of us have said why are the Democrats so quiet? It's almost like they have a plan and I don't like any of it. So without knowing what the plan is I would assume the worst. Just assume the worst.

Now it's possible that the reason Democrats are so quiet is that they've been thoroughly destroyed and even when they talk among themselves all they can do is argue about whose fault it was probably. So there could be two reasons. One is they're completely dismantled. There's just nobody to talk to anybody or have any good ideas. But the other is that they do have a plan and that one's scary.

We're still waiting for more announcements and more nominations. The one that excites me the most although I'm really excited about all the ones we have so far would be hopefully the head of HUD will be Bill Pulte if he's willing to take the job. I think he might but he has the whole talent stack. People like he's got the building industry experience. It's in his blood. He was literally born to it and worked with it. He's an entrepreneur. He's pro-Trump. He's one of the best communicators I've ever seen in my life. I saw one of his hits yesterday on one of the networks I think it was Fox Business and I was just sort of looking at the quality of his answers. Oh my God you know you know how impressed you are when you watch Vivek or you watch JD Vance and you say to yourself we don't have people who talk that well. Like this is a whole new game where somebody's answer isn't just complete but it's right on target, hits every point, hits all the persuasion points and shows intelligence and empathy at the same time. And that's what Pulte has. Right you have to watch it. If you haven't seen him talk just watch how well he answers questions and you tell me that Trump doesn't want more of that. He does.

So we don't know if this is going to happen but HUD right now is the Housing and Urban Development but I think it would be the natural place that the Trump freedom cities would be focused and I think that's the most exciting thing for the future of the country. You know AI will be part of it and self-driving cars will be part of it and all that but we need to redesign cities. So I don't know if I've ever said this directly so maybe there's a reason you don't know why I'm so excited about designing cities. We need to figure out how to design one that works really well and then reproduce it. What we're not going to be able to do is tweak the existing cities. They're just too structurally hard to change. You're going to have to figure out maybe a variety of different flavors of cities designed with completely different intentions and different organizational assumptions and just see which ones work. Some will work for some kind of people some will work with others. But there's nothing more important because our expenses and our jobs are so focused around building and homes everything from the furniture to the carpenters that if we can reinvigorate the building industry in a way that's not just do some more building that's like one or two percent on the GDP I mean we're talking we're talking really fun then. Then we're really having fun.

Anyway the head of Polymarket which we talked a lot about has been I guess his phones and electronic devices have been seized by authorities and we don't know what he's charged with if anything or if he will be. But it made Mike Cernovich point out that his own comments about his phone suddenly getting slow. Did anybody have the experience that their phone started slowing down in the last month or so? Because I had that experience too. My phone went from battery life lasting all day to maybe an hour or at least it seems like it. Like it's almost useless. My phone is almost useless because I always just have to worry about charging it now. I thought that Apple was doing that thing where they make your phone bad just in time for when you're thinking about an upgrade and I'm thinking about an upgrade and there's a new upgrade cycle coming and then just like before in prior upgrades my phone's battery gets really bad when it's time to look for a new phone. And yes it was enough to convince me to buy a new phone. I haven't done it yet but I'm definitely buying a new phone because my current one doesn't work well enough to keep.

Now Cernovich would be on a pretty short list of people that bad guys would want to see if they could get any dirt on right? Yeah you figure if there's any bad guys using surveillance in ways that maybe isn't appropriate he would be on the short list. I too would be on the short list of people that they would look at if they're just searching around looking for some dirt. Now in my case they're not going to find anything because as I've told you many times for at least 25 years I've lived my life like there are no secrets. Meaning that it doesn't mean there aren't things that would be maybe like embarrassing or something but I don't care about being embarrassed. So literally anytime I write anything that if it were found like I'd have to explain it I don't care. I'm fine. There are plenty of things I might have to explain but okay none of them are going to embarrass me enough that I care. So I'm not going to make a, I guess I won't say that I know what's happening because the odds that it's just a technology and marketing reason that my phone is dying it's pretty good. But it is true that if your phone gets slow it could be an indication that somebody's in it. That's true. I do believe that my phone is penetrated but I wouldn't know if it's our country or China or anything else but yes I assume my phone is not secure.

So the Harris campaign we hear from somebody else that donated half a million dollars to Al Sharpton's nonprofit before he interviewed her on what is called a softball interview on MSNBC. Now is that an example of money laundering? Coincidentally his nonprofit which I'm sure pays him a salary and maybe pays for some of his expenses suddenly got half a million dollars from the very person that he's going to endorse. Now how about those other celebrities that got millions of dollars and then also endorsed? Now on paper it looks like they got their millions of dollars maybe to entertain or maybe to appear but in reality to us it just looks like money laundering. Looks like bribery. I guess bribery and money laundering are different but it looks like the combination of bribery and money laundering.

Now remember I told you earlier this seems like literally everything Democrats do it all has the same element where there's a large amount of money that's being pushed through sketchy organizations so everybody can get a taste and it's just over and over and over again. This is the reason I think you need to build new cities because the existing cities allow the elected politicians to decide where the big contracts and bids go to which means that all cities are corrupt. If you give local politicians the power to decide where the money goes you're guaranteed to have corruption guaranteed. That responsibility needs to be taken away from the city leaders. They shouldn't have control over money flowing through the system in that way. Or there's more transparency you could get to it that way. That's central planning. Well everything is centrally planned it's just what the center is.

Anyway Candace Owens had a whistleblower, CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp. And he says that Martin Luther King was murdered by the CIA. Which is interesting because Trump had promised that he would release those files as well. And he says that was a CIA operation because they considered him a dangerous communist and the FBI was bugging the churches where giving some of his speeches. He was a top target for elimination.

How many of you believe that the CIA killed Martin Luther King? I always just assumed it didn't you? Always assume that. I don't know when I first started assuming it but I always thought it was so obvious. I mean after I was in school of course I was just propagandized but once I became an adult and started seeing how the real world worked it didn't take me long to piece it together. And it wasn't because I saw something on the news. The whole time I was like wait a minute so they're saying that the CIA or somebody may have killed Kennedy and he was provocative but elected president. What are the odds that Martin Luther King was a totally random shooter? You know so I think I'd worked that one out on my own that that didn't really look like a coincidence to me. So he was dangerous to the system. So he was considered dangerous to the system.

Now isn't it interesting that the same people who allegedly killed him elevated him to a symbol of peace and a model to follow? Here's what I think. I think that Martin Luther King was elevated by the white leadership of the country because he preached peace. And so as long as they focused on the peaceful part they could keep control of the part of the country they wanted to control apparently. And they would use him as their brainwashing operation while at the same time their internal view was that he was so bad he had to be killed. But if they could sell him as a symbol of peace then he could keep future generations passive. So I always thought he was just an OP. Not well he wasn't the OP he was doing his thing but that he was used as part of somebody else's op anyway.

There's research in science that suggests people are getting more bored because of phones and stuff. I will disagree with that because I have not been bored since phones were smartphones. How many of you would say the same? I don't remember the last time I was bored. But boredom when I was a child was my number one problem. My number one problem. I was bored out of my freaking skull as a child in school. Bored in college. Bored now not in the fun parts but bored in the classes and stuff. So boredom has been and I've said this before boredom has been one of my biggest challenges in my whole life. And that went completely away when smartphones became workable. Because I'm standing in line I'm looking at my phone I'm fascinated. There's not a time when there isn't something on my phone that fascinates me. So I haven't been bored. Have any of you? Maybe you're lonely more than you're bored. Loneliness is still real. I mean that your phone won't solve loneliness.

And now there's thoughts from the Harvard Crimson is writing about some research that pesticide consumption might be linked to male infertility. It's a Harvard study so they say if you're eating some fruit that's got thick skin maybe it's not so bad but if you're eating thin skin stuff like a strawberry maybe the pesticides are getting in there and maybe you should think of some organic strawberries that are small and weird looking.

That ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of my incredible podcast for today. And I'm going to say a few words to the local subscribers privately. I'm going to say goodbye to X and YouTube and Rumble. Thanks for joining. You've been awesome and what a week. It's just going to get better.

Market is a little bit mixed today but we have High Hopes High Hopes let me call up some some comments and we'll have a show for you let me tell you it'll be amazing trust me it'll be amazing probably the best thing you've ever seen good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had had a better time in your whole life but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is copper muger glass a tanker chel dinina canteen Jugger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now thank you Paul well let's talk about all the things let's say uh it's been 24 hours since I talked to you last 23 actually so did anything happen was there any news made in the last 24 hours anything at all no wait is my cap inside out no my cap is not inside out you bastards is this is the official coffee with Scott Adams hat there you go there you go you see it's me and then that's also me this I know this is going to be confusing for you this is me and this is me try to keep those straight all right did you know that caffeine's uh impact on your brain could reduce your cravings for alcohol that's right is there anything that coffee can't do let me check my notes uh anything anything coffee can't do can't do um it can't help Comm haris win the presidency but besides that there's nothing it can't do so coffee according to the s s poost might make it easier to get off of alcohol if you wanted to did you know that climate models as incredible and valuable and accurate as they are all hundred of them that are different they're going to make them even better wow talk about the Golden Age huh you got your climate models that are totally believable and now they're going to add wait for it AI that's right that's right the existing climate models oh almost perfect almost just right but what they need is one extra lay layer of total B called AI because if you can't trust your AI model for predicting the temperature of the Earth in 80 years what can you trust well for those of you who've never been around predictive models let me tell you something it's not the data and it's not the model that determines the answer do you know what determines the answer it's not the data and not the model what is it it's the assumptions because the assumptions are not data there assumptions about well I think we got all the variables and then you compare it to all the other models and you go well they're making different assumptions about the clouds but we like our assumptions it's the assumptions that give you the output and if they didn't like the output they wouldn't tell you what AI did to it it's pretty pretty much just the assumptions well meanwhile scientists have developed a breakthrough nasal spray they could delay Alzheimer's for over a decade according to scitech daily but they have only put it into animals so far now I don't know how many animals actually get Alzheimer's or how many animals even live 10 years so you can check but the way you do it is you give it to the animal let's say a cow and then you wait 10 years and you say to the cow hey do you recognize me and if a cow just stares at you like doesn't even know you that's Alzheimer's but okay I'm just kidding they don't give it to cows probably might be might be a rat or something all right but here's my scientific knowledge question for you I asked a version of this on X this will sound like I'm leading to something uh but is really for your general knowledge number one if something is tested in the lab and it works in the lab and then it also works in the in animals what are the odds it will work in a person go in the comments tell me the odds there's something that works in the lab and it kills things in the test tube and it works in an animal and it's safe enough and effective enough in the animal what are the odds that that will translate to human usefulness your numbers are way too big 25% but you're being funny the real answer is 5 to 10% 5 to 10% now let's make it more interesting there are two reasons that a drug would not be approved for human use one is if it's too dangerous two if it's not let's say bioavailable meaning that if it could get to the right part of your body you know cross whatever membranes and get into whatever parts then it might be effective but if it doesn't in a human but maybe it does in a rat then that would be another reason it doesn't work now there could be lots of other reasons it doesn't work but those are two big ones so now I'm going to revise my question let's say you're dealing with an already improved drug that's being used for a different purpose so it's a improved and is safe and the safety profile is excellent so you know for sure that it works in the lab you already tested it that it works in animals and you know for sure because it's an improved drug that's been around forever that it won't hurt you now what are your odds that it would be approved for a human Works in The LAB Works in an animal definitely doesn't hurt anybody what's your odds now the answer is nobody knows which is weird because it seems to me that would be a really important thing to know if you were in that line of work what percentage of drugs do you think work even in a human but but at the end they go oh damn it works it totally works but you know 10% of the people who took it died so you know can't be approved I don't know but you you have to assume that some amount of the drug drugs are only rejected because they hurt humans but they didn't hurt the rat all right now suppose you knew also that since it was an approved drug it had a good ability to sort of become bioavailable in other words uh it's already something used in humans so it must be able to get to the good parts of a human but depending on what your new use for it is it might need to get into the brain versus the heart versus the but so maybe there's a difference there so let's say you knew it was bio available in general for some other purpose worked in a lab worked in an animal definitely is not dangerous and is bioavailable meaning it gets to the right parts of the body for some other use now what what are the odds that that would work if you want to know what the the reason I'm asking for is that that icin works against cancer in a lab and apparently it's worked against cancer in some animals and ivin is known to be safe for human use I mean nothing is 100% but in terms of meds it's it's one of the safer ones and we know it's bioavailable because it works against um not only what it was meant for some kind of um parasites or whatever but it also seemed to have some related benefits for covid which would be a whole different thing so it can get to a worm or a bug in your body whatever it is and it can also get to whatever is affecting a virus so now what are the odds knowing all of those things that the lab tests of icin would translate into human success does anybody have a guess well I don't but it it would be really interesting if that's the sort of thing that science could sort out because wouldn't you like to know what the odds of a specific drug is versus what are the odds of drugs in general so if you say to me we developed this thing and it works in the lab and it works in an animal and and then you calculate the odds from that alone I feel like that's not treating it as individual enough I feel like each specific drug probably scientists could come up with an estimate for that kind of drug you know more like well this one's 80% but this one's more like 10% so anyway we should know that all right so let's get into the politics um so according to RS Technica the advertisers who may have been hesitant to advertise on X before because of politics or because of their own preferences or whatever uh maybe looking to moderate that and maybe get back to advertising on X do you know why because the advertisers are concerned that if they don't advertise on X Elon Musk might have a bad opinion of them for not advertising on his platform and he might have the ear of the president and the president controls the government which has a lot of control over companies so if you were a company that ever wanted the US government to do something in the future that would help you might be good to know that you had advertised on the only free speech platform now how much do I like that not at all you you shouldn't be happy about that because what is being described is essentially bribery am I right I mean it wouldn't be illegal but if the reason that somebody's going to advertise on X is so that they can preserve their options with the government um that's not good that's not the country you want to live in you don't want people choosing their advertising space based on Revenge from the government so no not cool now I'm not also not sure that it's real right ORS Technica says that people are thinking this way and it would be consistent with everything we know about how money works we do know big companies will move large amounts of money to whatever is influential you know whether it's lobbyist or anything else so I don't think they're wrong in terms of a prediction but I don't love to see it as much as I love uh everything about X and I love seeing Elon Musk involved in the government exactly the way he is I don't love that this is the way X would become profitable although I want it to be profitable so anyway it's not exactly the right incentive structure meanwhile in news that it took me 30 minutes to believe the first 30 minutes I thought it was a joke that Alex Jones's Infowars all the assets for that company that went up for auction because of the Sandy Hook issues was purchased by the company that owns the onion so obviously I didn't believe it I'm like okay that didn't happen the No No the satirical company that's why it's a joke because you know it'd be funny if the onion bought it so so obviously it's not the onion and then I would see another post on X and I think huh wow this is a good prank it really fooled a lot of people and then I see more and then see it attributed to the AP and I thought wait a minute there are a lot of details on this story and then I found out like the name of the parent company I'm thinking huh did this actually happen in the actual real world the onion bought Info Wars now I heard somebody say that they thought that the Sandy Hook victims you know were were behind it to get it to be an anti-gun platform or something but am I wrong that the onion stopped being funny several years ago am I wrong about that do you remember when the onion was the funniest thing on the internet I mean by far it was just the funniest thing on the internet and then something happened and I don't know I I think maybe I thought I changed or maybe I just wasn't seeing their posts as much but they kind of disappeared or at least they didn't produce any viral content because I just stopped seeing them so I didn't know happened to the onion I thought you know they closed or something but apparently they changed management and I don't know what their management is up to but they've now bought two properties that uh you'd have to wonder why they would do it the onion as it was dying and info wars just the assets but if he's buying a studio situation in an IP and a bunch of customers I maybe but but if you were leaning what good would it be to have a bunch of customer lists of people who watched Infowars I don't know there's something about this story that isn't making sense so until we see what the buyer has in mind for this we won't really know what's happening here all right I got a question for you there's another story sounds like the same story that's every day and in the news but there's another teacher this one's a woman who is allegedly she raped a 13-year-old isum boy um and she ditched her husband for the boy that she called her crystal meth so now when they show the picture of the woman you look at her eyes in the photograph and you say to yourself oh okay I've seen those eyes before you've seen them on uh Adam Schiff you've seen him in uh Charles Manson you've seen him in AOC and you've seen them in a lot of Tik Tok videos where people were shaving their heads and acting crazy and so here's my question do you believe that AI can spot crazy people by their eyes if you asked it to let me tell the tell you the answer in advance yes you definitely can if if you trained AI to spot people who are mentally ill or at least going to be acting way outside the box of normal behavior you could do it now I don't think you could do it 100% I do think there are some people who just have sort of bug eyes and maybe Adam chiff is one of them I don't know but I think you could get 80% wouldn't you like to know if somebody's got mental illness just by their eyes okay and that's just by how wide they are I think if you started looking at like you know the pupils you you get a whole different level of knowledge so yes I believe it is inevitable that AI will start trying to spot crazy people by their eyes not crazy but but maybe uh criminally inappropriate people well in the midst of the busiest news day we're we're going to talk about all the appointments uh there was a UAP hearing UAP being the new word for UFOs basically and there's a whistleblower uh Lou alzando Who says the United States has UAP Technologies not made by our government or any other government and uh Tim gallud day is telling us that uaps represent a new realization that we are not the only advanced intelligence in our universe and allegedly other governments also have some UAP technology that they're trying to reverse engineer if I if I may summarize all of this news uh once again there's somebody who does not have a photograph has no personal firsthand knowledge of anything and no I don't believe a single thing about the UAP reports not a single thing I do not believe there is an alien intelligence I do not believe there's an ancient civilization of being that are in the ocean and they've got you know crafts that sometimes come out of the ocean I do not believe one thing about this story do you know why because this story could have been the same story for the last 50 years there's not one time that I've been alive that you couldn't TRW down a whistleblower to say that the same damn stuff what changed where's my video where where's my piece of material that could have only made been made in space nothing nothing there just nothing so no I could be wrong and normally I would take this as what I call a recreational belief like I want to believe it I'd love to believe it but no th this fits every pattern of a thing that hasn't been true and won't be true for the last my entire life basically so I hate to ruin it but I don't think there are any uaps however in the dilber comic which you would have to subscribe to on either X or the locals platform to see dogbert does have a UAP so dogbert's going to be using Dilbert's UAP that he invented in his home lab well here's my big theme for today are you ready for big theme for today big theme a national correction is in process meaning that the United States had gone completely off the rails but for reasons that seem to be almost entirely about Trump everything seems to have reversed and started moving in the right direction just everywhere now there might be some exceptions of course but the number of things that are suddenly moving in the right direction are mindboggling jawdropping makes your hair catch on fire let me give you some examples uh now the Republicans have the presidency the Senate they have it's now confirmed they will have the house by maybe four or five votes and of course the majority in the Supreme Court so that is clearly the country saying hey these people the Democrats were not getting it done so we're going to correct and boy did they correct not only did they correct they gave us a um an advantage in the actual total vote not just the Electoral College you know the popular vote so that's big we've seen a couple of Soros Das removed in California so as long as the number of Soros prosecutors are moving backwards that's great we've seen that Elon Musk is committed to getting Republicans um elected so he'll have a sort of an anti- Soros fund that will be operating against Soros that's great um we see that the uh Trump transition team is considering creating some kind of Board review to remove uh generals and Admirals that are too woke and too worthless yes thank you uh you know I've been telling you for a long time that I was trying to understand why if you see let's say a senator who does an interview on the news even if you don't agree with them and even if you think think they're lying you come away thinking okay that's pretty smart person you know I don't trust him but you know smart and You' see a scientist and you say ah I'm not sure I believe all that but obviously you're smart and generally speaking public figures who have you know reached some some level they're usually pretty smart but whenever I would watch the generals who would come on let's say during the Trump Administration even before that when they were done I would think to myself why don't they come off as smart like why does General Millie just doesn't look like even a Democrat Senator or he just doesn't come off as smart and I won't name names but there are several others that fall in that category where they're not just not smart they seem almost aggressively dumb and and not because of their politics because they don't really get political most of the time so I'm not even judging them on politics I'm Jud just demeanor and presentation and you know just the vibe it's like you know you just don't seem that smart so if you add that to the fact that you know there's wokeness that's infected them and their political appointees in many cases they didn't get all the way there based on Talent it was it maybe politics um it's good to see that there's going to be a tough look and which ones to remove uh I would argue that lawfare may have ended lawfare against Trump may have ended and now that the Republicans are firmly in charge I would expect that there will not be more lawfare against Republicans what we hope well I guess we don't all hope this but I hope what I hope is that there is not any gross lawfare against Democrats uh I want to say clearly and you know loudly and publicly I do not favor any any Revenge lawfare none I do favor really going after real crimes and to me it seems there are some pretty obvious real crimes that have not been addressed so if Matt Gates as you all know by now Matt Gates has been nominated we don't know if he can get confirmed even if there's a recess appointment ly there's some question about that um but I do love the fact that whoever is going to be the AG whether it's m Gates or or not it's going to end lawfare at least against Republicans now I think we have an obligation and a responsibility it's a Spider-Man problem Republicans now have the power and the Republican voters I argue have power over the government that is not the case the other way I don't believe the public has power over the Democrat government except to remove them but in the Republican World they really do listen to the base and they respond pretty quickly so uh I think that those who support the government should make sure that if you got your choice the best way to keep it is to not go crazy with lawfare when it's just not called for but again nobody's Above the Law so if it's it's a real crime and we all saw it and uh there's transparency involved about going after it yes yes on that uh Diddy is in jail and Hollywood is basically completely neutered and the celebrities that were talking about Harris uh they decided to shut the f up after the election because I think they noticed they not the majority I I think the illusion that Hollywood was always under is that they were sort of the leading voices of the rational majority that was sort of the minimum they had to understand about themselves their role in the world well I'm an actor and I wouldn't get involved in this except the majority doesn't have as good a voice as I do because I get attention so for the benefit of the majority I will be their voice and then they found out they weren't the majority I I think that that is the greatest mind F of all time it didn't happen to me so I you I'm not experiencing it but imagine if you thought you were the majority and you found out you weren't and you and you thought that you were on the side of the angels and you found out you were pretty much supporting a criminal gang because I think the Democrats are just filled with Rico problems and and uh money laundering and bribery I don't know how much we'll ever uncover but it it seems like the entire Democratic party is just a criminal organization at this point and by the way I'm not joking about that in in my personal opinion without the benefit of any court cases that would back me up on this my impression is if you look at the totality of what Democrats are doing and have done been doing it looks like a criminal organization like actually literally it's it's made to move large amounts of money through various organizations that they control and that appears to be the main purpose because the only thing they're always in favor of is moving a large amount of money through any Democratic controlled organization it doesn't even matter if it's BLM or climate change or anything else large amounts of money move it through a big activity because then they all get a taste that's where the bribery happens that's where the the money laundry happens so to me I think the overwhelming driving force of the Democrat party has been money laundering and bribery at the at the working level and then the the voters have just been confused because I think the voters that I'm looking at two political parties and I like the what I like what one of them says but why is it that when I keep agreeing and voting for the one that keeps saying what I like to hear my life is not improving and that's what everybody noticed their life didn't improve they were buying into what the Democrats were saying but their life didn't get better and now everybody noticed that's the benefit of having Trump having been in office once you just had a direct comparison you could just look at it and say I like that better so I think a more correct frame is that the Democrat Party in my opinion and again without the benefit of you know Court endorsed findings it looks like it's primarily a criminal activity at least at the leadership levels they're they're trading stocks and making deals and getting their gold bars and uh pointing people to jobs that they're not qualified for and it just all looks like criminal to me now when you look at the the Republican side let us let us try to find some Unity here and let me say this do I believe that there are no Republicans trying to get away with stealing money no I don't don't believe that I'm sure there's some Republicans looking to steal some money what I don't see is that it seems like that's their only job the the Democrats act like it's their only job it's like everything is pushing in that direction and the Republicans are trying to actually you know do a variety of things that seem like they're good for the country all right here's some more Corrections so maybe this Diddy thing will and the fact that uh there will be a republican AG G may take a big bite out of the whole pedophile situation which I've never known how big it really was but Hollywood took a beating uh on the election and everything else the old Diddy situation is shutting people up and uh here's another one according to Fortune Magazine uh Trump's election is going to create a Dei Reckoning that forces companies to either uh you know double down or to step away from it that seems like really good news so there are now I think maybe 20 companies biggish companies that've cancelled or cut down on their Dei and there should be more to come but I also expect that when the government says it's illegal so you have to get rid of it in the government I I think the big companies have to fold I think they have to follow so you may see the end of Dei I can tell you that I've heard almost no wokeness for a week it it used to be the all the all the news all the Zeitgeist was here's some more woke wokeness and then we would complain about it here's some more and then we complain about it and it just never stopped I feel like the wokeness just stopped the people who would even you know bring up these topics they just stopped because now they realize what the public things the the entire trans situation which I always like to remind I'm protr adults doing whatever they need to want to just living their life the way they want to but of course you know kids in bathrooms and sports or special cases and they have to be educated adjudicated um but I feel like the trans topic will just sort of disappear or not disappear I think it will shrink to the size it should have been naturally its natural size should have been small and maybe it'll just go back to that but again I wish the best for the trans Community um CNN and MSNBC both look like they're dead that it looks like they're just you know on fumes is the H post still alive did the hington post close and the The Daily Beast is having problems and Gawker clothes and um yeah and of course the old version of Twitter is dead and now the ABC is a apparently trying to figure out how to bring in a prot trump voice to The View and maybe some of their other shows because ABC got hammered so badly for handling the the debates poorly so imagine how in the world are they going to put a prot trump voice on The View all right I'll do it I'll do it now I'm going to obviously need to uh identify as a woman but uh if there was one place in the world I could identify as a woman and everybody would shut the up about it it would be the view so if you want me on The View I am willing to identify as a woman I'll still dress the same because I'll be like a poorly dressed woman I'll look exactly the same just very poorly dressed um and I think I'd be great but I'd have to do it home because I don't want to commute Joy Reed deleted her ex account a a now there is no joy on X a so that's moving in the right direction uh I will not have to see her mental illness being presented as content um but who else oh Don Lemon is quitting so Don Lemon the unluckiest person in media decided that he would quit X on the same week that Trump set the entire news business on fire by nominating the most provocative people you could possibly ever nominate and then poor Don lemon's trying to get some attention a and and I'm I'm I'm quitting what I call Twitter because that's an insult to it have you heard that Pete Heth is going to be the Secretary of Defense I know but you have anybody heard I'm quitting Twitter the Attorney General is going to be Matt Gates maybe I know but also also I won't be posting on Twitter sorry Don your message has been cancelled by bigger news no one cares um meanwhile the star for the Disney's Snow White Rachel zler um she has ill feelings about Trump and all of his voters so uh that means that Disney's Snow White movie will lose about a billion dollars so do you think that you could be an actress and get another job if you just cost your employer a billion dollars because this probably cost them a billion dollars because I don't know how many conservatives would have watched this piece of garbage content anyway but once the main actress says you to half of the country half of the country is going to leave that in the you know leave that on the Shelf so let's say half the country's children will not be indoctrinated by whatever the hell is on Snow White so that's good news Ohio lawmakers um passed a bill Banning biological males from girls bathrooms um most of you would call that move in the right direction wouldn't you and let's see did you know that uh FEMA you know that story about the woman who was in charge of one area and um she told people to stay away from homes that had Trump signs in other words don't help Trump voters in emergency now the first time I heard that I told you I thought well that's not true I mean that's like an obvious hoax obviously there could not possibly be anything in writing at FEMA in writing that says don't help Trump supporters during an emergency that couldn't possibly be true it's true it's completely true it's worse than that it wasn't just one person the female worker who got fir ired says it's not isolated and the female workers were instructed to do it in the Carolinas too according to the Gateway pundit it's not only true it was a general FEMA or it was wider than one area it wasn't completely probably now that's the bad news right here's the good news Trump's in charge of feema now I guess that shit's just got fixed so here's another thing that got fixed just because Trump is coming he's not even there yet and I guarantee you they're getting rid of that rule right do you think FEMA is waiting until they get a new boss or are they saying um let's uh maybe we should kind of quickly revise the way we've been doing this before he gets in charge maybe we should hurry up and clean up our own house and delete all these records so watching how guilty people know they are and watching them change their behavior just in anticipation of chump is pretty awesome it's pretty awesome anyway so those are all the things that are going our way have you ever seen so many things go your way at the same time it really is a remarkable time you know when when Trump called it the Golden Age you always wonder is that hyperbole I don't think it is I I think everything is lining up in a way I've never seen I've never seen or felt anything like this it it's the Golden Age It's really here now of course we have to make it it's not going to be easy there'll be plenty of challenges but uh rasmon did a poll on mass deportations 64% of likely voters approve of Trump's promise to quote on day one uh launched the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out 2third of the country is on board with a massive deportation do you think things are changing everything everything is moving in the right direction at the moment meanwhile Jack Smith one of the guys going after Trump in the law fair cases he reported reportedly is going to step down before Trump gets into office okay once again we see things are being set right simply by Trump is on the way Trump hasn't even gotten there to fire anybody yet and they're quitting in anticipation correctly that they will be fired meanwhile Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have ordered the FBI to preserve or requested to preserve all records on the Jack Smith investigation yes they're going to investigate the investigator how great is that they're going to investigate the investigator because he damn well needs to be investigated from from a public perspective he definitely needs to be investigated I mean there's some stuff we need to know about that situation uh meanwhile um Mark Ruffalo you know him from The Avengers and other movies um he's he said now about the election because he was one of the notable backers of Harris he said quote and this is according to a bright bar headline he said quote we got our asses kicked now Breitbart I don't normally like to give advice to Publications Breitbart you really missed an opportunity here this is the story Mark Ruffalo said we got our asses kicked here's the headline you should have used Hulk sulk you're welcome it's my best joke of the day Hulk sulk if you watch The Avengers that's pretty funny all right Seattle has started throwing shoplifters and Penny criminals in jail for the first time in four years I guess the first two years they said it was the uh pandemic you know they didn't want people in close quarters so they reduced their people in jail and then they said they didn't have resources because they probably defunded the police but now they have resources and they have room in jail so they're throwing their Petty criminals back in jail so again things are going your way in this big self-correcting country that we have that is so wonderful this week uh Joe Rogan says that the Harris wals campaign um wanted to make sure that he didn't talk about marijuana legalization if he did an interview with Harris now um he said quote I think they had requirements on things that she didn't want to talked about she didn't want to talk about marijuana legalization which I thought was hilarious said Joe Rogan now here's my question I I was struck in two different ways number one of course the fact that anybody would go to an interview and say there's something that's off topic that's just so weak and especially if the topic is one of national concern and you're running for office yeah no there should not be anything off topic so so the Harris campaign looks weak and pathetic and you can see why they lost however I'm not entirely sure that a private conversation with the campaign should be divulged on the other hand it's a public interest so I'm going to say yes in this special case yes but generally speaking I'm not a fan of anybody revealing a private conversation um but it was somebody running for president and it was a matter of national concern and and you know the event over there's there's there's no security issue to it now but if she had become president I think that maybe then he should have maybe well I don't know maybe maybe it's still appropriate yeah I'm just sort of thinking that one through as I as I go I I just don't like private conversations being revealed unless you have a really good reason I I've revealed a few private things that Trump said to me that one time in 2018 when I met him for a few minutes but it was only because they make him look smart so so I feel completely confident that if I say Trump knew something was going to happen years before it happened that if he heard that he'd say oh that's fine you know so I don't feel like that's a risk um did you watch the video of Biden and Trump meeting for their peaceful turnover power apparently they had a good chat for two hours um uh Biden was all smiles I've never seen him so happy to turn over power to Hiller do you think that watching him roll over so happily is enough to convince Democrats that they've been lied to about Hitler coming into office do you think they figured it out yet because I figure that's enough for at least some of them to say wait a minute you said Hitler was coming but every one of you is acting like Hitler isn't coming so how did you immediately go from Hitler's coming to oh everything's normal how' you do that were you lying to us the entire time and of course they were lying to the public the entire time but do Democrats see it because as obvious as it is to you know Republicans the way cognitive dissonance works is is that it can blind even a smart person to the obvious so I suspect that even smart Democrats somehow are creating in their minds a blind spot to turn off the fact that everybody said he was Hitler for sure and as soon as he got elected they acted like he's definitely not Hitler the one thing we know for sure like not even a there's not even a chance of it like it didn't even go from definitely Hitler to well you better watch out he might be Hitler like that would seem like the normal way to step down but it went from he's definitely Hitler to there's not really any problem here at all that we see let's uh let's just act totally normally and I think everything will be fine how do you not notice that anyway um that should be the end of the Democrat Party for a decade do you think that Trump made any deals with Biden um it's possible although it would be a kind of a risky way to do it you know because things could get out but if I were Trump you could imagine a scenario in which he would say privately to Biden look um I think you and I should make an agreement we're going to keep our families out of it and I plan to uh to Pardon Hunter if you'd like me to Pardon you or any member of your family uh I will take care of that but I'm going to ask for the same for you know but basically I want you to you know cooperate basically I don't know would that be illegal to make a deal like that I think the president has that flexibility I don't know if it's all legal but I wouldn't mind as much as I think Hunter did some imprisonable stuff I would rather the country country climb back from attacking families we should at least get back to Mafia standards where the families left out of it you you can go as hard as you want at the candidate but just leave the family out of it so you could you could sort of Imagine Trump saying you went too far with my family I'm not going to return that to you and and just say can we make a piece can we can we bury that hatchet now I don't think it happened uh is just sort of a recreationally fun speculation anyway uh a reporter asked Biden as he was in the I guess one of that little ceremonial rooms asked him uh um if he thinks he can get a hostage deal done by the end of the term and when Biden was asked if he could get a hostage deal done by the end of the term in for Israel Biden said quote do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you okay so that's what we have and what we're moving to is Trump did Trump get anything done yesterday yes well Trump didn't do this but the Senate picked their Majority Leader th now I don't know much about this particular Senator but uh there will be a lot of news is breaking about him and I believe I'll learn about him soon sorry I had to do that um I have some concerns about whether he will really work with Trump as well as he says he will I think on most things he will um but he's been he's been critical of trump in the past so he does not count as a loyalist per se uh definitely a loyal Republican but not a trump loyalist so we'll see I would say the uh the verdict is out so th can either be a superstar or or less than that and I believe that uh that is completely in his hands he's a little bit of a blank slate I mean people who really know the in inner workings of things may have an opinion but the rest of us don't really have any idea he's he's just like a brand new character on the stage for most of us so I'm going to say open mind um he might be great but keep an eye on it so as you've already heard Mt Gates has been nominated by Trump to be the Attorney General the wild Street Journal um which is not wild about this says quote in the editorial this is a bad choice for the attorney general that would undermine confidence in the law undermine confidence in the law are you kidding who has confidence in the law how could you possibly undermine confidence in the law it's 2024 we've been lawed Way Beyond any sense that the law has been operating on our behalf no I don't have any confidence in the law are you kidding me or science or just about anything else at the moment so um and then they noted that Gates has a law degree from William Mary uh but that he's going to cause all kinds of provocations and it's going to be a bunch of problems blah blah blah blah blah now their their argument seems to be that he's a performer and provocator and that that's the wrong fit for the Attorney General can I can I give some uh education to the Wall Street Journal editorial board would you mind if I taught the people who are supposedly experts in business some basic facts about business do you mind if I educate them all right I'm Wall Street Journal editorial board I'm taking you aside let me explain something to you goes like this um if I if I were to encounter a Kitt here's how I would act a cute little kitten a here's a little scratch if I were to encounter somebody trying to kill me I would react more like and try to fight it off if I went to a job interview I would act polite and professional if I were elected to congress and I knew that getting attention was just like money I would be provocative in other words because I have a functional brain I will modify my behavior for the circumstances so that I get the best the best pull from the certain circumstance now if the Wall Street Journal thinks that that Gates is going to go to the Attorney General job and act the same way that he acted in Congress where provocation was rewarded and then he would go where provocation is definitely not rewarded and he would not figure that out and you don't think he's smart enough to know that the way you act as an attorney general is different than you act if you're a member of Congress especially young member of Congress and different than you would act if you were on the Supreme Court and different than you would act if you were a babysitter and different than you would act in every place in the world how about everybody acts different when the context changes Trump does have you ever seen Trump interact with say teenagers or the barber shop or the employees at Mc.

Donald's does Trump act exactly the same way when he's talking to the employees at Mc.

Donald's as he does when he's talking to the fake news no he modifies his performance to the situation if you don't think Gates is smart enough to modify his performance for the situation you shouldn't be writing editorials for the Wall Street Journal I mean that's that's kid stuff this is basic so that's uh that's disappointing from The Wall Street Journal um here's and then of course there's a lot of worry that uh this is sign in that Trump is going to get busy with lawfare maybe so let me let me say this clearly having a loyalist who's as let's say as a whose risk reward profile is what Gates is it does open the possibility that we could be um I would be surprised by it but that there could be a little bit of lawfare that you didn't see coming some some little revengeyoutube now as I've told you too many times I would not be in favor of that at all and I will immediately at least be one of the voices pushing back if I think he goes too far however that is a risk I'm really willing to take right the world is not risk free but what we have is a situation where the Department of Justice in my opinion is completely broken and has become a lawfare organization the only person I would trust to dismantle a exist lawfare situation is somebody like Matt Gates or if I may say exactly Matt Gates and not even just somebody like Matt Gates Matt Gates like he would be my number one choice in the whole world because he's young enough he's aggressive enough he has the you know he has the ear of the president and he's watched the laware and presumably some of it was against him so we need more than we need anything in this country we need somebody to go in and just brutally get rid of the lawfare Leaning people now does that give you the risk that the pendulum goes too far and then Republicans become a little law fairy themselves yes that is a risk and that is your job not just Matt Gate's job not the president's job alone this is your job as supporters of the president if you were or or even if you weren't you know if you're just acting as a citizen as a citizen you need to be The Gatekeepers to make sure that doesn't go too far all right I I plan to be very serious about that because it's a legitimate concern if I were a Democrat I would definitely be worried about that no doubt about it I'd be worried about that and I think it's our responsibility to make sure that that stays Within you know if you broke a real law then that has to be addressed now who would be worried about that well um we've got Adam cheff who's a little worried about it and uh yeah so Adam schf is not too happy about the Matt Gates situation now Matt Gates might not be confirmed so he might not have enough support um and there might not uh certainly if he needs Democrats but apparently they can do something clever with the rules where if Trump um let's see if the two members of Congress if the Senate and the house do not agree on an adjournment let's say one wants to adjourn and one doesn't um then if they don't agree or they don't agree on the timing of it then the president can adjourn them so once they're adjourned then you can do these recess appointments now I think they're not permanent I think they're two years two years and most or something like that but you can get a lot done in two years so we don't know for sure if the Democrats have a way to thwart that but it'll be fun to watch now the point it and uh Matt Gates has already resigned his job by the way which as some have pointed out is a total baller move because because he's basically said you know I'm in you know I'm going to do whatever it takes I'm in on the other hand it might be a practical decision because it also opens up um space and it gives Trump another hit on the Overton window so the Overton window is you create so much news that even if there's some of it that normally would be negative to you you overwhelm it with new news so this would create the situ ation where Trump uh you obviously talking to disantis it would be dantis decision could uh I think just select a temporary new um representative is that how it works do I have the process right It's Des santis right d santis gets to fill the space until the next election is that correct now who do you think he'd fill the space with well it turns out that Laura Trump has expressed interest in an interview now she didn't say it directly she just said if asked you know she would of course serve now that's a yes how much fun would that be because she's coming off a what looks like a terrific job um for the RNC and she fits every she checks off every box I she's definitely smart enough she's great on TV she's got Central Casting look she's you know as loyal as you could possibly be it's hard to imag imagine that there's any box she doesn't check so I'd be for it but it would also be great provocative news to add to the uh the whole cycle then there's also people who say that there's some uh ethics report that might be in the works against Gates and if he's no longer in the house then any ethics report would presumably just go away because there's no point in it so there could be several reasons for him to announce he's leaving early um but uh sure made things interesting let's see uh Eric swell doesn't like it Adam Schiff doesn't like Gates being there and uh what do those two guys have in common Adam Schiff and Eric swell what do they have in common I think I've told you that uh in the Democrat World they have regular Liars that would be just you know any Senator representative they're going to say things or exaggerations about Trump or maybe they'll spread one of the hoaxes or something but sort of General ordinary political lying but when they need somebody to lie the big lies like the really big Whoppers the ones that even the regular Democrats won't touch they Trot out Adam Schiff and Eric swalwell every time it's always those two right so so once you realize that they're the designated liars and that you know the the the ones that come out with them are like you know Woodward and Brennan sometimes Clapper like there's there's this group of people who always accompany the biggest lie so the two of the biggest lie guys Adam Schiff and Eric swall are like oh no they're they're all over TV and well not on TV in shift's case but they're they're both the vocal ones now I think they both have something to worry about again they should be completely protected against lawfare 100% but it seems to me there are observable behaviors that need to be looked into that a normal reasonable person would say yeah we kind of need to look into that so I don't want it to cross any any barriers into lawfare but uh I could see why they'd be worried all right the choice of Pete Heth as Secretary of Defense I'm watching a number of people have a reaction very similar to my own which is what that can't be true Pete Heth wait you're talking about Pete heg Seth are you pronouncing that right the you talk about the fox weekend host you did you couldn't even get like a weekday host you had to get like a weekend host and then you then you dig down and you find out that number one he's brilliant and he's got you know Harvard and Yale on his resume and he spent a lot of time in some pretty serious military positions and he was once um considered it for head of the VA the first administration because he's done so much work for veterans and then I said to myself wait a minute he knows the military from the bottom up he's you definitely uh loyal to Trump and then I watched some clips where he is super anti-woke and wants to get rid of all the generals who would be Dei and woke people and I said to myself I've never seen any more anyone more perfect for the job and he also has the Central Casting thing has the look so I went from this is stupid to is this genius is is this as smart as it looks because it might be like not Yale I saw a Yale I think I thought there was some Yale he had two degrees so I'll take a fact check on that there might be a fact check on his degrees but in any case he is both brilliant and he has enough connections with and experience with and all the right ways the military that uh he doesn't have to be he doesn't have to do the jobs of the people who would work for him that's their jobs but for the big decision-making things the Bold changes the getting rid of a general the you know the the big changes that we might need to make in funding and spending and all those things yeah you know what I I I say open mind and uh you know I'm sure he was looked at very carefully for that job and uh let's see what happens I I do think that I want somebody that Trump can trust more than I want somebody with experience and I'll say that with no hesitation for that job The Experience doesn't count as much because you know it knows how to run itself no matter who the boss is but for the special things that the boss has to do such as fire a general or change the general direction to be more compatible with what Trump wants or even just to make sure that when Trump says he wants something it actually gets executed and not slow walked so you need somebody who can recognize the slow walk like when something's ordered they go oh yeah we'll do that but it takes five years so and then you need somebody say no it doesn't it takes two months to do it anyway so he might be a great choice tulsey gabber Director of National Intelligence oh well let me say one more thing about P Heth I saw a video uh by Don Lemon before he left Twitter as he calls it I call it X and he was laughing and mocking that Pete hegseth would be chosen for Secretary of Defense so let me summarize the situation for you uh there was a guy named Don Lemon who worked for a network TV outfit there was a guy named P Heth who worked for a competing TV news Outlet probably pretty similar pay pretty similar visibility and uh one of them just got promoted to the Secretary of Defense in charge of the strongest military in the history of the known universe the other one is Don and he just left X okay so you can sort of see why he'd have an attitude about it didn't work out the way he hoped now who else got a good promotion oh somebody else got a good promotion uh there was this woman you may have heard of her she was on the terrorist watch list yeah she was on the terrorist watch list that's that's dangerous so but she got promoted to be the Director of National Intelligence her name is tulsy Gabbert yep went from being on the terrorist watch list so she couldn't fly without people following around to the boss of all those people well not all the people in the TSA I suppose but uh that's like the had intelligence job now is Tulsi Gabbert the right choice for that I like it I like it a lot yeah I'm all in on that one and again um can you trust Tulsi gabard to be working productively and to be honest with Trump yes yes yes yes so love it uh I think she'll be confirmed Rubio for secretary State now I know some of you are thinking Rubio might be too neocon I don't think you have to worry about that at all here's why he's got a boss called Trump Rubio is not going to be out like doing his own thing Rubio is smart enough he's been around enough that he knows what that job is the job is to do the do the work of the president if he has a problem with the president's Direct ction he'll talk to him privately but no do I do I think that Rubi Rubio has the experience the personality the the character the I don't know the vision yes yes he has all that could Rubio be a president someday yes absolutely I don't know if he'd be my first choice depends who's running but no I don't have any problems with him at all and I'm not worried about the neocon thing cuz I think that as long as Trump's the boss that takes care of itself um then the the left is running out of insults they can't even figure out how to insult anybody so you may have heard that uh the Doge effort do G which stands for Department of government efficiency the Elon Musk effort to make the government more efficient and smaller and cost less um will now be joined with v ramaswami so they will partner on this effort I don't know if they have a ones in charge or or their Partners or or whatever and maybe they don't need to even have that but what do you think of that let me tell you what Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC says he says that musk got quote a humiliating demotion from the head of Doge to Simply A A co-worker with VI yeah that was a humiliating demotion to find that one of the most capable people we've ever seen even anywhere near our government is going to work on the hardest problem we've ever had to crack which is how do you fix the government now you have to work really hard to turn that positive into a negative it it would be like if you found that um Ben Franklin if he had been alive at the same time Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison have teamed up and then Lawrence O'Donnell would be it's a humiliating demotion for Ben Franklin and I'd be like okay you realize they're probably better together right humiliating demotion and and then you look at Lawrence O'Donald's face and he has that mental illness face where his smile doesn't match what he's saying and a humiliating devotion he's like enjoying it too much it's like some weird almost looks like he's masturbating under the desk when he talks almost anyway um there was some concern about uh um security because if you start cutting the government there's a lot of people in the government were very very bad people and literally murderers so you know or Killers let's say but our government includes a lot of people who have killed people right people who are in the military have killed people people in the intelligence Community have killed people people in the Senate have voted for things that that they knew would kill people so the government is actually the one organization has more killers in it than prison I think as a percentage certainly as a number but don't you think there are more Killers literally killers in the government than there are in their prisons CU most of the prisoners are not murderers but there's a whole lot of people in the State Department the military and the government who have been in the military and literally have killed people right so if you're trying to downsize and take away something that's valuable to the largest group of literally killers that that we have outside of the military itself you know the active military um it's dangerous so musk actually said on X yeah I have to say that cutting this much waste will make a lot of bad people angry we need extra tight security but Joshua Hartley on X took it to another level and I boosted this one he said uh maybe we should skip the massive inauguration ceremony too much security risk given uh uh who you are planning to expose fire and dismantle have been waging Shadow Wars domestically and internationally for the past 60 years celebrate when balance and Order are restored you know what I agree with that as much as I think a um an inauguration ceremony is sort of good for the I don't know the the body of the country you know it gives us moments and these moments create the country you know these moments where we all focus on the same thing but I think it's too dangerous to put this government Outdoors at this point in time and it's outdoors right now all it takes is well I don't have to give the bad guys any ideas right um I think maybe the era of large outdoor events where you have me multiple members of government there like are we going to put our president and our vice president on the same stage are we really going to do that because if if any one of them is on the stage the other one needs to be in the bunker or you know at least the vice president does so and what and what if somebody says it's more than a twofer you know what if you get several of them like was some kind of event that kills more than one person this is really scary now Trump is uh not likely to back down so I think he is most likely to go ahead and do it publicly but let me just say uh um from the perspective of one citizen this is just my opinion uh this is not worth the risk to me so I'll just say personally that level of risk of going in public with these people that you've chosen especially that's more risk than I'm willing to accept for the benefit of just having a TV event that you didn't really need to do so maybe some of you disagree with me and I would respect that disagreement but we really are in a different time and we don't know the size of the risk and I think all of us have said why are the Democrats so quiet it's almost like they have a plan and I don't like any of it so without knowing what the plan is I would assume the worst just assume the worst now it's possible that the reason Democrats are so quiet is that they've been thoroughly destroyed and even when they talk among themselves all they can do is argue about whose fault it was probably so there could be two reasons one is they're completely dismantled there's just nobody to talk to anybody or have any good ideas but the other is that they do have a plan and that one that one's scary um we're still waiting for more announcements and more nominations um the one that excites me the most although I'm really excited about all the ones we have so far would be uh hopefully the head of Hud will be buil po if he's willing to take the job I think he might but he has the whole stack people like he's got the the building industry experience it's in his blood he was literally born to it and worked with it he's an entrepreneur he's Pro Trump he's the he's one of the best communicators I've ever seen in my life I saw one of his hits yesterday on um one of the networks I think it was Fox Business and I was just sort of looking at the quality of his answers oh my God you know you know how impressed you are when you watch vake or you watch um your JD Vance and you say to yourself we we don't have people who talk that well like this is a whole new game where where somebody's answer isn't just complete but it's right on target hits every point hits all the persuasion points and shows intelligence and and empathy at the same time and that's what P has right you have to watch it if if you haven't seen him talk just watch how well he answers questions and you tell me that Trump doesn't want more of that he does so we don't know if this going to happen but HUD right now is the you know Housing and Urban Development but I think it would be the natural place that the Trump Freedom cities would be focused and I think that's the most exciting thing for the future of the country you know AI will be part of it and self-driving cars will be part of it and all that but we need to redesign cities so I don't know if I've ever said this directly so maybe there's a reason you don't know why I'm so excited about designing cities we need to figure out how to design one that works really well and then reproduce it what we're not going to be able to do is tweak the existing cities they're they're just too structurally hard to change you're going to have to figure out maybe a variety of different flavors of cities designed with completely different uh intentions and different uh organizational assumptions and just see which ones work some will work for some kind of people some will work with others but there's nothing more important because our our expenses and our jobs are so focused around building and homes everything from the furniture to the Carpenters that if we can if we can reinvigorate the building industry in a way that's not just do some more building that's like one or two% on the GDP I mean we're talking we're talking really fun then then then we're really having fun anyway uh the head of poly markets which we talked a lot about um has been I guess his phones and electronic devices have been seized by authorities and we don't know what he's charged with if anything or if he will be but it made uh Mike covich point out that uh his own comments about his phone suddenly getting slow did anybody have the experience that their phone started slowing down in the last month or so because I had that experience too my my phone went from battery life lasting all day to maybe an hour or at least it seems like it like it it it's almost useless my phone is almost useless because I always just have to worry about tra um charging it now I thought that Apple was doing that thing where they make your phone bad just in time for when you're thinking about an upgrade and I'm thinking about an upgrade and there's a new upgrade cycle coming and then just like before in Prior upgrades my phone's battery gets really bad when it's time to look for a new phone and yes it was enough to convince me to buy a new phone I haven't done it yet but I'm definitely buying a new phone because my current one doesn't work well enough to keep now cerovich would be on on a pretty short list of people that bad guys would want to see if they could get any dirt on right yeah you you figure if there's any bad guys using surveillance in ways that maybe isn't appropriate he would be on the short list I too would be on the short list of people that they would look at if they're just searching around looking for some dirt now in my case they're not going to find anything because um as I've told you many times for at least 25 years I've lived my life like there are no secrets meaning that it doesn't mean there aren't things that would be maybe like embarrassing or something but I don't care about being embarrassed so literally anytime I write anything that if if it were found like i' I'd have to explain it I don't care I'm fine there there are plenty of things I might have to explain but okay none of them are going to embarrass me enough that I care so um so I'm not going to make a uh I I guess I won't say that I know what's happening because the the odds that it's just a technology and marketing reason that my phone is dying it's pretty good but it is true that if your phone gets slow it could be an indication that somebody's in it that's true I do believe that my phone is penetrated but I wouldn't know if it's our country or China or anything else but yes I assume my phone is not secure um so the Harris campaign we hear from Ms um oh no we hear from somebody else that uh donated half a million dollars to Al Sharpton's nonprofit before he interviewed her on what is called a softball interview on MSNBC now is that an example of moneya laundering coincidentally his uh his nonprofit which I'm sure pays him a salary and maybe pays for some of his expenses suddenly got half a million dollars from the very person that he's going to endorse now how about those other celebrities that got millions of dollars and then also endorsed now on paper it looks like they got their millions of dollars maybe to entertain or maybe to appear but in reality it's to us it just looks like it just looks like moneya laundering looks like bribery I guess bribery and money laundering are different but it looks like the combination of bribery and money laundering now is it remember I told you earlier this seems like literally everything Democrats do it all has the same element where there's a large amount of money that's being pushed through sketchy organizations so everybody can get a taste and it's just over and over and over again this is the reason I think you need to build new cities because the existing cities allow the elected politicians to decide where the big um contracts and bids go to which means that all cities are corrupt if you give local politicians the power to decide where the money goes you're guaranteed to have corruption guaranteed that that responsibility needs to be taken away from the city leaders they shouldn't have control over money flowing through the system in that way or there's more transparency you could get to it that way that's Central planning um well everything is centrally planned it's just what the center is anyway Candace Owens has a uh had a whistleblower CIA whistleblower Kevin chip and he says that Martin Luther King was murdered by the CIA H and uh which is interesting because Trump had promised that he would release those files as well and he says that was a CIA operation because they considered him a dangerous communist and the FBI was bugging the churches where giving some of his speeches he was a top Target for elimination how many of you believe that the CIA killed Martin Luther King I I always just assumed it didn't you always assume that I I don't know when I first started assuming it but I always thought it was so obvious I mean after I was you know at a school you know when I was in school of course I was just propagandized but once I became an adult and started seeing how the real world worked it didn't take me long to piece it together and it wasn't because I saw something on the news the the whole time I was like wait a minute so they're saying that the CIA or somebody may have killed Kennedy and he was provocative but elected president what are the odds that Martin Luther King was a totally random shooter you know so I I think I'd work that one out on my own that that didn't really look like a coincidence to me so um he was dangerous to the system um so he was considered dangerous to the system now isn't it interesting that the same people who allegedly killed him elevated him to a symbol of uh peace and a model to follow here's what I think I think that Martin Luther King was elevated by the white leadership of the country because he preached peace and so as long as they focused on the peaceful part they could keep control of the the part of the country they wanted to control apparently and they would they would use him as their brainwashing operation while at the same time their their internal view was that he was so bad bad he had to be killed but if they could sell him as a symbol of peace then he could keep future Generations passive so I always thought he was just an OP not well he wasn't the op he he was doing his thing but that he was used as part of somebody else's op anyway um there's research in cyos that suggests people are getting more bored because of phones and stuff I will disagree with that because I have not been bored since phones were smartphones how many of you would say the same I I don't remember the last time I was bored but boredom when I was a child was my number one problem my number one problem I was bored out of my freaking skull as a child in school bored in college bored now not in the fun Parts but bored in the classes and stuff so boredom has been and i' I've said this before boredom has been one of my biggest challenges in my whole life and that went completely away when smartphones became workable because I'm standing in line I'm looking at my phone I'm fascinated there there's not a time when there isn't something on my phone that fascinates me so I haven't been bored have any of you maybe you're Bor you may be lonely more than you're bored uh loneliness is still real I mean that your phone won't solve loneliness and now there's uh thoughts from the Harvard Crimson is writing about some research that pesticide consumption might be linked to male infertility it's a Harvard study so they say if you're eating some fruit that's got thick skin maybe it's not so bad but if you're eating thin skin stuff like a strawberry maybe the pesticides are getting in there and maybe you should think of some organic strawberries that are small and weird looking uh that ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of my incredible podcast for today and uh I'm going to say a few words to the local subscribers privately I'm going to say goodbye to X and You.

Tube and Rumble thanks for joining you've been awesome and what a week it's just going to get better e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

Market is a little bit mixed today but

we have High Hopes High

Hopes let me call up

some some comments and we'll have a show

for you let me tell

you it'll be

amazing trust me it'll be

amazing probably the best thing you've

ever seen

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had had a better time in

your whole life but if you'd like to

take this experience up to levels that

nobody can even understand with their

tiny shiny human brains all you need is

copper muger glass a tanker chel dinina

canteen Jugger flask of vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine here of

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous sip

it happens

now thank you

Paul well let's talk about all the

things let's say uh it's been 24 hours

since I talked to you last 23 actually

so did anything

happen was there any news made in the

last 24 hours anything at all

no wait is my cap inside out no my cap

is not inside out you

bastards is this is the

official coffee with Scott Adams

hat there you go

there you go you see it's me and then

that's also

me this I know this is going to be

confusing for you this is me and this is

me try to keep those straight all right

did you know that caffeine's uh impact

on your brain could reduce your cravings

for

alcohol that's right is there anything

that coffee can't do let me check my

notes uh anything anything coffee can't

do can't do um it can't help Comm haris

win the presidency but besides that

there's nothing it can't do so coffee

according to the s s poost might make it

easier to get off of alcohol if you

wanted

to did you know that climate models as

incredible and valuable and accurate as

they are all hundred of them that are

different they're going to make them

even

better

wow talk about the Golden Age huh you

got your climate models that are totally

believable and now they're going to add

wait for it AI that's right that's right

the existing climate models oh almost

perfect

almost just right but what they need is

one extra lay layer of total B

called AI because if you can't trust

your

AI model for predicting the temperature

of the Earth in 80 years what can you

trust well for those of you who've never

been around predictive models let me

tell you something it's not the

data and it's not the model that

determines the

answer do you know what determines the

answer it's not the

data and not the model what is it it's

the

assumptions because the assumptions are

not data there assumptions about well I

think we got all the variables and then

you compare it to all the other models

and you go well they're making different

assumptions about the clouds but we like

our

assumptions it's the

assumptions that give you the output and

if they didn't like the output they

wouldn't tell you what AI did to it it's

pretty pretty much just the

assumptions well meanwhile scientists

have developed a breakthrough nasal

spray they could delay Alzheimer's for

over a decade according to scitech daily

but they have only put it into animals

so

far now I don't know how many animals

actually get Alzheimer's or how many

animals even live 10 years so you can

check but the way you do it is you give

it to the animal let's say a cow and

then you wait 10 years and you say to

the cow hey do you recognize me and if a

cow just stares at you like doesn't even

know you that's

Alzheimer's

but okay I'm just kidding they don't

give it to cows probably might be might

be a rat or something all right but

here's my scientific knowledge question

for you I asked a version of this on X

this will sound like I'm leading to

something

uh but is really for your general

knowledge number one if something is

tested in the lab and it works in the

lab and then it also works in the in

animals what are the odds it will work

in a person go in the comments tell me

the odds there's something that works in

the lab and it kills things in the test

tube and it works in an animal and it's

safe enough and effective enough in the

animal

what are the odds that that will

translate to human usefulness your

numbers are way too big 25% but you're

being funny the real answer is 5 to

10% 5 to 10% now let's make it more

interesting there are two reasons that a

drug would not be approved for human use

one is if it's too dangerous

two if it's not let's say bioavailable

meaning that if it could get to the

right part of your body you know cross

whatever membranes and get into whatever

parts then it might be effective but if

it doesn't in a human but maybe it does

in a rat then that would be another

reason it doesn't

work now there could be lots of other

reasons it doesn't work but those are

two big ones so now I'm going to revise

my question let's say you're dealing

with an already improved drug that's

being used for a different purpose so

it's a improved and is safe and the

safety profile is excellent so you know

for sure that it works in the lab you

already tested it that it works in

animals and you know for sure because

it's an improved drug that's been around

forever that it won't hurt you now what

are your odds that it would be approved

for a human Works in The LAB Works in an

animal definitely doesn't hurt anybody

what's your odds now the answer is

nobody

knows which is weird because it seems to

me that would be a really important

thing to know if you were in that line

of work what percentage of drugs do you

think work even in a human but but at

the end they go oh damn it works it

totally works but you know 10% of the

people who took it died so you know

can't be

approved I don't know but you you have

to assume that some amount of the drug

drugs are only rejected because they

hurt humans but they didn't hurt the

rat all right now suppose you knew also

that since it was an approved drug it

had a good ability to sort of become

bioavailable in other words uh it's

already something used in humans so it

must be able to get to the good parts of

a human but depending on what your new

use for it is it might need to get into

the brain versus the heart versus the

but

so maybe there's a difference there so

let's say you knew it was bio available

in general for some other

purpose worked in a lab worked in an

animal definitely is not dangerous and

is bioavailable meaning it gets to the

right parts of the

body for some other

use now what what are the odds that that

would

work if you want to know what the the

reason I'm asking for is that that

icin works against cancer in a

lab and apparently it's worked against

cancer in some

animals and ivin is known to be safe for

human use I mean nothing is 100% but in

terms of meds it's it's one of the safer

ones and we know it's bioavailable

because it works against um not only

what it was meant for some kind of um

parasites or whatever but it also seemed

to have some related benefits for covid

which would be a whole different thing

so it can get to a worm or a bug in your

body whatever it is and it can also get

to whatever is affecting a

virus so now what are the odds knowing

all of those

things that the lab tests of icin would

translate into human success

does anybody have a

guess well I don't but it it would be

really interesting if that's the sort of

thing that science could sort out

because wouldn't you like to know what

the odds of a specific drug is versus

what are the odds of drugs in general so

if you say to me we developed this thing

and it works in the lab and it works in

an animal and and then you calculate the

odds from that

alone I feel like that's not treating it

as individual enough I feel like each

specific drug probably scientists could

come up with an estimate for that kind

of drug you know more like well this

one's 80% but this one's more like

10% so anyway we should know

that all right so let's get into the

politics um so according to RS Technica

the advertisers who may have been

hesitant to advertise on X before

because of politics or because of their

own preferences or whatever uh

maybe looking to moderate that and maybe

get back to advertising on X do you know

why because the advertisers are

concerned that if they don't advertise

on X Elon Musk might have a bad opinion

of them for not advertising on his

platform and he might have the ear of

the president and the president controls

the government which has a lot of

control over

companies so if you were a company that

ever wanted the US government to do

something in the future that would help

you might be good to know that you had

advertised on the only free speech

platform

now how much do I like that not at

all you you shouldn't be happy about

that because what is being described is

essentially

bribery am I right I mean it wouldn't be

illegal

but if the reason that somebody's going

to advertise on X is so that they can

preserve their options with the

government um that's not good that's not

the country you want to live in you

don't want people choosing their

advertising space based on Revenge from

the government so no not cool now I'm

not also not sure that it's real right

ORS Technica says that people are

thinking this way and it would be

consistent with everything we know about

how money

works we do know big companies will move

large amounts of money to whatever is

influential you know whether it's

lobbyist or anything else so I don't

think they're wrong in terms of a

prediction but I don't love to see it as

much as I love uh everything about X and

I love seeing Elon Musk involved in the

government exactly the way he is I don't

love that this is the way X would become

profitable although I want it to be

profitable so

anyway it's not exactly the right

incentive

structure meanwhile in news that it took

me 30 minutes to believe the first 30

minutes I thought it was a joke that

Alex Jones's Infowars all the assets for

that company that went up for auction

because of the Sandy Hook issues was

purchased by the company that owns the

onion so obviously I didn't believe it

I'm like okay that didn't happen the No

No the

satirical company that's why it's a joke

because you know it'd be funny if the

onion bought it so so obviously it's not

the onion and then I would see another

post on X and I think huh wow this is a

good prank it really fooled a lot of

people and then I see more and then see

it attributed to the AP

and I thought wait a minute there are a

lot of details on this

story and then I found out like the name

of the parent company I'm thinking huh

did this actually happen in the actual

real world the onion bought Info

Wars now I heard somebody say that they

thought that the Sandy Hook victims you

know were were behind it to get it to be

an anti-gun platform or something but

am I wrong that the onion stopped being

funny several years

ago am I wrong about that do you

remember when the onion was the funniest

thing on the internet I mean by far it

was just the funniest thing on the

internet and then something

happened and I don't know I I think

maybe I thought I changed or maybe I

just wasn't seeing their posts as much

but they kind of

disappeared or at least they didn't

produce any viral content because I just

stopped seeing them so I didn't know

happened to the onion I thought you know

they closed or something but apparently

they changed

management and I don't know what their

management is up to but they've now

bought two properties that uh you'd have

to wonder why they would do it the onion

as it was dying and info wars just the

assets but if he's buying a studio

situation in an IP and a bunch of

customers I maybe but but if you were

leaning what good would it be to have a

bunch of customer lists of people who

watched

Infowars I don't know there's something

about this story that isn't making sense

so until we see what the buyer has in

mind for this we won't really know

what's happening

here all right I got a question for you

there's another story sounds like the

same story that's every day and in the

news but there's another teacher this

one's a woman who is allegedly she raped

a 13-year-old isum boy um and she

ditched her husband for the boy that she

called her crystal

meth so now when they show the picture

of the woman you look at her eyes in the

photograph and you say to yourself oh

okay I've seen those eyes before you've

seen them on uh Adam Schiff you've seen

him in uh Charles Manson you've seen him

in AOC

and you've seen them in a lot of Tik Tok

videos where people were shaving their

heads and acting crazy and so here's my

question do you believe that AI can spot

crazy people by their eyes if you asked

it

to let me tell the tell you the answer

in advance yes you definitely can if if

you trained AI to spot people who are

mentally ill or at least going to be

acting way outside the box of normal

behavior you could do it now I don't

think you could do it 100% I do think

there are some people who just have sort

of bug

eyes and maybe Adam chiff is one of them

I don't know but I think you could

get

80% wouldn't you like to know if

somebody's got mental

illness just by their eyes okay and

that's just by how wide they are I think

if you started looking at like you know

the pupils you you get a whole different

level of knowledge so yes I believe it

is inevitable that AI will start trying

to spot crazy people by their eyes not

crazy but but maybe uh criminally

inappropriate

people well in the midst of the busiest

news day we're we're going to talk about

all the appointments uh there was a UAP

hearing UAP being the new word for UFOs

basically

and there's a whistleblower uh Lou

alzando Who says the United States has

UAP Technologies not made by our

government or any other

government and uh Tim gallud day is

telling us that uaps represent a new

realization that we are not the only

advanced intelligence in our universe

and allegedly other governments also

have some UAP technology that they're

trying to reverse

engineer if I if I may summarize all of

this

news uh once again there's somebody who

does not have a

photograph has no personal firsthand

knowledge of

anything and no I don't believe a single

thing about the UAP reports not a single

thing I do not believe there is an alien

intelligence I do not believe there's an

ancient civilization of being that are

in the ocean and they've got you know

crafts that sometimes come out of the

ocean I do not believe one thing about

this story do you know why because this

story could have been the same story for

the last 50 years there's not one time

that I've been alive that you couldn't

TRW down a whistleblower to say that the

same damn stuff what changed where's my

video where where's my piece of material

that could have only made been made in

space nothing

nothing there just

nothing so no I could be wrong and

normally I would take this as what I

call a recreational belief like I want

to believe it I'd love to believe it but

no th this fits every pattern of a thing

that hasn't been true and won't be

true for the last my entire life

basically so I hate to ruin it but I

don't think there are any uaps however

in the dilber comic which you would have

to subscribe to on either X or the

locals platform to see dogbert does have

a

UAP so dogbert's going to be using

Dilbert's UAP that he invented in his

home

lab well here's my big theme for today

are you ready for big theme for

today big

theme a national correction is in

process meaning that the United States

had gone completely off the

rails but for reasons that seem to be

almost entirely about

Trump

everything seems to have reversed and

started moving in the right direction

just

everywhere now there might be some

exceptions of course but the number of

things that are suddenly moving in the

right

direction are mindboggling jawdropping

makes your hair catch on fire let me

give you some

examples uh now the Republicans have the

presidency the Senate they have it's now

confirmed they will have the house by

maybe four or five votes and of course

the majority in the Supreme

Court so that is clearly the country

saying hey these people the Democrats

were not getting it done so we're going

to correct and boy did they correct not

only did they correct they gave us a

um an advantage in the actual total vote

not just the Electoral College you know

the popular vote so that's big we've

seen a couple of Soros Das removed in

California so as long as the number of

Soros prosecutors are moving backwards

that's great we've seen that Elon Musk

is committed to getting Republicans um

elected so he'll have a sort of an anti-

Soros fund that will be operating

against Soros that's great

um we see that the uh Trump transition

team is considering creating some kind

of Board review to remove uh generals

and Admirals that are too woke and too

worthless yes thank you uh you know I've

been telling you for a long time that I

was trying to understand why if you see

let's say a senator who does an

interview on the news even if you don't

agree with them and even if you think

think they're lying you come away

thinking okay that's pretty smart person

you know I don't trust him but you know

smart and You' see a scientist and you

say ah I'm not sure I believe all that

but obviously you're

smart and generally speaking public

figures who have you know reached some

some level they're usually pretty smart

but whenever I would watch the generals

who would come on let's say during the

Trump Administration even before that

when they were done I would think to

myself why don't they come off as

smart like why does General

Millie just doesn't look like even a

Democrat Senator

or he just doesn't come off as smart and

I won't name names but there are several

others that fall in that category where

they're not just not smart they seem

almost aggressively dumb and and not

because of their politics because they

don't really get political most of the

time so I'm not even judging them on

politics I'm Jud just demeanor and

presentation and you know just the vibe

it's like you know you just don't seem

that smart so if you add that to the

fact that you know there's wokeness

that's infected them and their political

appointees in many cases they didn't get

all the way there based on Talent it was

it maybe

politics um it's good to see that

there's going to be a tough look and

which ones to remove uh I would argue

that lawfare may have

ended lawfare against Trump may have

ended and now that the Republicans are

firmly in charge I would expect that

there will not be more lawfare against

Republicans what we hope well I guess we

don't all hope this but I hope what I

hope is that there is not any gross

lawfare against Democrats

uh I want to say clearly and you know

loudly and publicly I do not favor any

any Revenge

lawfare none I do favor really going

after real

crimes and to me it seems there are some

pretty obvious real crimes that have not

been addressed so if Matt Gates as you

all know by now Matt Gates has been

nominated we don't know if he can get

confirmed even if there's a recess

appointment ly there's some question

about that um but I do love the fact

that whoever is going to be the AG

whether it's m Gates or or not it's

going to end lawfare at least against

Republicans now I think we have an

obligation and a responsibility it's a

Spider-Man problem Republicans now have

the

power and the Republican voters I argue

have power over the government that is

not the case the other way I don't

believe the public has power over the

Democrat government except to remove

them but in the Republican World they

really do listen to the base and they

respond pretty quickly so uh I think

that those who support the government

should make sure that if you got your

choice the best way to keep it is to not

go crazy with lawfare when it's just not

called for but again nobody's Above the

Law so if it's it's a real crime and we

all saw it and uh there's transparency

involved about going after it yes yes on

that uh Diddy is in jail and Hollywood

is basically completely neutered and the

celebrities that were talking about

Harris uh they decided to shut the f up

after the election because I think they

noticed they not the majority I I think

the illusion that Hollywood was always

under is that they were sort of the

leading voices of the rational majority

that was sort of the minimum they had to

understand about themselves their role

in the world well I'm an actor and I

wouldn't get involved in this except the

majority doesn't have as good a voice as

I do because I get attention so for the

benefit of the majority I will be their

voice and then they found out they

weren't the

majority I I think that that is the

greatest mind F of all time it didn't

happen to me so I you I'm not

experiencing it but imagine if you

thought you were the

majority and you found out you weren't

and you and you thought that you were on

the side of the angels and you found out

you were pretty much supporting a

criminal

gang because I think the Democrats are

just filled with Rico problems and and

uh money laundering and bribery I don't

know how much we'll ever uncover but it

it seems like the entire Democratic

party is just a criminal organization at

this point and by the way I'm not joking

about that in in my personal

opinion without the benefit of any court

cases that would back me up on this my

impression is if you look at the

totality of what Democrats are doing and

have done been doing it looks like a

criminal organization like actually

literally it's it's made to move large

amounts of money through various

organizations that they

control and that appears to be the main

purpose because the only thing they're

always in favor of is moving a large

amount of money through any Democratic

controlled organization it doesn't even

matter if it's BLM or climate change or

anything else large amounts of money

move it through a big activity because

then they all get a taste that's where

the bribery happens that's where the the

money laundry happens so to me I think

the overwhelming

driving force of the Democrat party has

been money laundering and bribery at the

at the working level and then the the

voters have just been confused because I

think the voters that I'm looking at two

political parties and I like the what I

like what one of them says but why is it

that when I keep agreeing and voting for

the one that keeps saying what I like to

hear my life is not

improving and that's what everybody

noticed their life didn't improve they

were buying into what the Democrats were

saying but their life didn't get better

and now everybody noticed that's the

benefit of having Trump having been in

office once you just had a direct

comparison you could just look at it and

say I like that better so I think a more

correct frame is that the Democrat Party

in my opinion and again without the

benefit of you know Court endorsed

findings it looks like it's primarily a

criminal activity at least at the

leadership levels they're they're

trading stocks and making deals and

getting their gold bars and uh pointing

people to jobs that they're not

qualified for and it just all looks like

criminal to me now when you look at the

the Republican

side let us let us try to find some

Unity here and let me say this do I

believe that there are no Republicans

trying to get away with stealing money

no I don't don't believe that I'm sure

there's some Republicans looking to

steal some money what I don't see is

that it seems like that's their only

job the the Democrats act like it's

their only job it's like everything is

pushing in that direction and the

Republicans are trying to actually you

know do a variety of things that seem

like they're good for the

country all right here's some more

Corrections so maybe this Diddy thing

will and the fact that uh there will be

a republican AG G may take a big bite

out of the whole pedophile situation

which I've never known how big it really

was but Hollywood took a beating uh on

the election and everything else the old

Diddy situation is shutting people up

and

uh here's another one according to

Fortune Magazine uh Trump's election is

going to create a Dei Reckoning that

forces companies to either uh you know

double down or to step away from it

that seems like really good news so

there are now I think maybe 20 companies

biggish companies that've cancelled or

cut down on their

Dei and there should be more to come but

I also expect that when the government

says it's illegal so you have to get rid

of it in the

government I I think the big companies

have to fold I think they have to follow

so you may see the end of

Dei I can tell you that I've heard

almost no wokeness for a

week it it used to be the all the all

the news all the Zeitgeist was here's

some more woke wokeness and then we

would complain about it here's some more

and then we complain about it and it

just never

stopped I feel like the wokeness just

stopped the people who would even you

know bring up these topics they just

stopped because now they realize what

the public

things the the entire trans situation

which I always like to remind I'm protr

adults doing whatever they need to want

to just living their life the way they

want to but of course you know kids in

bathrooms and sports or special cases

and they have to be educated

adjudicated um but I feel like the trans

topic will just sort of disappear or not

disappear I think it will shrink to the

size it should have been

naturally its natural size should have

been

small and maybe it'll just go back to

that but again I wish the best for the

trans

Community um CNN and MSNBC both look

like they're dead that it looks like

they're just you know on fumes is the H

post still

alive did the hington post close and the

The Daily Beast is having problems and

Gawker clothes and um yeah and of course

the old version of Twitter is dead and

now the ABC is a apparently trying to

figure out how to bring in a prot trump

voice to The View and maybe some of

their other shows because ABC got

hammered so badly for handling the the

debates

poorly so imagine how in the world are

they going to put a prot trump voice on

The

View all right I'll do it I'll do it now

I'm going to obviously need to uh

identify as a woman but uh if there was

one place in the world I could identify

as a woman and everybody would shut the

up about it it would be the view

so if you want me on The View I am

willing to identify as a woman I'll

still dress the same because I'll be

like a poorly dressed

woman I'll look exactly the same just

very poorly

dressed

um and I think I'd be great but I'd have

to do it home because I don't want to

commute Joy Reed deleted her ex account

a a now there is no joy on X

a so that's moving in the right

direction uh I will not have to see her

mental illness being presented as

content um but who else oh Don Lemon is

quitting so Don Lemon the unluckiest

person in media decided that he would

quit X on the same week that Trump set

the entire news business on fire by

nominating the most provocative people

you could possibly ever nominate and

then poor Don lemon's trying to get some

attention a and and I'm I'm I'm quitting

what I call Twitter because that's an

insult to

it have you heard that Pete Heth is

going to be the Secretary of Defense I

know but you have anybody heard I'm

quitting Twitter the Attorney General is

going to be Matt Gates maybe I know but

also also I won't be posting on Twitter

sorry Don your message has been

cancelled by bigger

news no one

cares um meanwhile the star for the

Disney's Snow White Rachel

zler um she has ill feelings about Trump

and all of his

voters so uh that means that Disney's

Snow White movie will lose about a

billion dollars so do you think that you

could be an actress and get another job

if you just cost your employer a billion

dollars because this probably cost them

a billion dollars

because I don't know how many

conservatives would have watched this

piece of garbage content anyway but once

the main actress says you to half

of the country half of the country is

going to leave that in the you know

leave that on the Shelf so let's say

half the country's children will not be

indoctrinated by whatever the hell is on

Snow White so that's good news Ohio

lawmakers

um passed a bill Banning biological

males from girls

bathrooms um most of you would call that

move in the right direction wouldn't

you and let's see did you know that uh

FEMA you know that story about the woman

who was in charge of one area and um she

told people to stay away from homes that

had Trump signs in other words don't

help Trump voters in emergency now the

first time I heard that I told you I

thought well that's not true I mean

that's like an obvious hoax obviously

there could not possibly be anything in

writing at FEMA in writing that says

don't help Trump supporters during an

emergency that couldn't possibly be

true it's

true it's completely true it's worse

than that it wasn't just one person the

female worker who got fir ired says it's

not isolated and the female workers were

instructed to do it in the Carolinas too

according to the Gateway

pundit it's not only true it was a

general FEMA or it was wider than one

area it wasn't completely

probably now that's the bad news right

here's the good

news Trump's in charge of feema

now I guess that shit's just got fixed

so here's another thing that got fixed

just because Trump is coming he's not

even there yet and I guarantee you

they're getting rid of that rule right

do you think FEMA is waiting until they

get a new boss or are they saying um

let's uh maybe we should kind of quickly

revise the way we've been doing this

before he gets in charge maybe we should

hurry up and clean up our own house and

delete all these

records so watching how guilty people

know they are and watching them change

their behavior just in anticipation of

chump is pretty

awesome it's pretty

awesome anyway so those are all the

things that are going our way have you

ever seen so many things go your way at

the same time it really is a remarkable

time you know when when Trump called it

the Golden Age you always wonder is that

hyperbole I don't think it

is I I think everything is lining up in

a way I've never seen I've never seen or

felt anything like this it it's the

Golden Age It's really here now of

course we have to make it it's not going

to be easy there'll be plenty of

challenges but uh rasmon did a poll on

mass

deportations 64% of likely voters

approve of Trump's promise to quote on

day one uh launched the largest

deportation program in American history

to get the criminals out

2third of the country is on board with a

massive

deportation do you think things are

changing

everything everything is moving in the

right direction at the

moment meanwhile Jack Smith one of the

guys going after Trump in the law fair

cases he reported reportedly is going to

step down before Trump gets into

office okay

once again we see things are being set

right simply by Trump is on the way

Trump hasn't even gotten there to fire

anybody yet and they're quitting in

anticipation correctly that they will be

fired meanwhile Chuck Grassley and Ron

Johnson have ordered the FBI to preserve

or requested to preserve all records on

the Jack Smith

investigation yes they're going to

investigate the investigator

how great is that they're going to

investigate the investigator because he

damn well needs to be

investigated from from a public

perspective he definitely needs to be

investigated I

mean there's some stuff we need to know

about that

situation uh meanwhile um Mark Ruffalo

you know him from The Avengers and other

movies um he's he said now about the

election because he was one of the

notable backers of Harris he said quote

and this is according to a bright bar

headline he said quote we got our asses

kicked now

Breitbart I don't normally like to give

advice to

Publications

Breitbart you really missed an

opportunity

here this is the story Mark Ruffalo said

we got our asses kicked here's the

headline you should have

used Hulk

sulk you're

welcome it's my best joke of the day

Hulk

sulk if you watch The Avengers that's

pretty funny all right Seattle has

started throwing shoplifters and Penny

criminals in jail for the first time in

four years I guess the first two years

they said it was the uh pandemic you

know they didn't want people in close

quarters so they reduced their people in

jail and then they said they didn't have

resources because they probably defunded

the police but now they have resources

and they have room in jail so they're

throwing their Petty criminals back in

jail so

again things are going your

way in this big self-correcting country

that we have that is so wonderful this

week uh Joe Rogan says that the Harris

wals

campaign um wanted to make sure that he

didn't talk about marijuana legalization

if he did an interview with

Harris now um he said quote I think they

had requirements on things that she

didn't want to talked about she didn't

want to talk about marijuana

legalization which I thought was

hilarious said Joe Rogan now here's my

question I I was struck in two different

ways number

one of course the fact that anybody

would go to an interview and say there's

something that's off

topic that's just so weak and especially

if the topic is one of national

concern and you're running for office

yeah no there should not be anything off

topic so so the Harris campaign looks

weak and pathetic and you can see why

they lost

however I'm not entirely sure that a

private

conversation with the campaign should be

divulged on the other

hand it's a public

interest so I'm going to say yes in this

special case yes but generally speaking

I'm not a fan of anybody revealing a

private

conversation um but it was somebody

running for president and it was a

matter of national concern and and you

know the event over there's there's

there's no security issue to it now but

if she had become

president I think that maybe then he

should have

maybe well I don't know maybe maybe it's

still

appropriate yeah I'm just sort of

thinking that one through as I as I go I

I just don't like private conversations

being revealed unless you have a really

good reason I I've revealed a few

private things that Trump said to me

that one time in 2018 when I met him for

a few minutes but it was only because

they make him look

smart so so I feel completely confident

that if I say Trump knew something was

going to happen years before it happened

that if he heard that he'd say oh that's

fine you know so I don't feel like

that's a

risk

um did you watch the video of Biden and

Trump meeting for their peaceful

turnover power apparently they had a

good chat for two hours

um uh

Biden was all smiles I've never seen him

so happy to turn over power to

Hiller do you

think that watching him roll over so

happily is enough to convince Democrats

that they've been lied to about Hitler

coming into office do you think they

figured it out yet because I figure

that's enough for at least some of them

to say wait a minute you said Hitler was

coming but every one of you is acting

like Hitler isn't coming so how did you

immediately go from Hitler's coming to

oh everything's normal how' you do that

were you lying to us the entire

time and of course they were lying to

the public the entire time but do

Democrats see it because as obvious as

it is to you know

Republicans the way cognitive dissonance

works is is that it can blind even a

smart person to the obvious so I suspect

that even smart

Democrats somehow are creating in their

minds a blind spot to turn off the fact

that everybody said he was Hitler for

sure and as soon as he got elected they

acted like he's definitely not Hitler

the one thing we know for sure like not

even a there's not even a chance of it

like it didn't even go from definitely

Hitler to well you better watch out he

might be Hitler

like that would seem like the normal way

to step down but it went from he's

definitely Hitler to there's not really

any problem here at all that we see

let's uh let's just act totally normally

and I think everything will be fine how

do you not notice

that

anyway um that should be the end of the

Democrat Party for a

decade do you think that Trump made any

deals with

Biden um

it's possible although it would be a

kind of a risky way to do it you know

because things could get out but if I

were

Trump you could imagine a scenario in

which he would say privately to Biden

look um I think you and I should make an

agreement we're going to keep our

families out of

it and I plan to uh to Pardon Hunter if

you'd like me to Pardon you or any

member of your family uh I will take

care of that but I'm going to ask for

the same for you know but basically I

want you to you know cooperate basically

I don't know would that be illegal to

make a deal like

that I think the president has that

flexibility I don't know if it's all

legal but I wouldn't

mind as much as I think Hunter did some

imprisonable

stuff I would rather the country country

climb back from attacking families we

should at least get back to Mafia

standards where the families left out of

it you you can go as hard as you want at

the candidate but just leave the family

out of it so you could you could sort of

Imagine Trump saying you went too far

with my family I'm not going to return

that to

you and and just say can we make a piece

can we can we bury that hatchet now I

don't think it happened uh is just sort

of a recreationally fun

speculation anyway uh a reporter asked

Biden as he was in the I guess one of

that little ceremonial rooms asked him

uh um if he thinks he can get a hostage

deal done by the end of the term and

when Biden was asked if he could get a

hostage deal done by the end of the term

in for Israel Biden said quote do you

think that you can get hit in the head

by the camera behind

you

okay

so that's what we

have and what we're moving to is

Trump did Trump get anything done

yesterday yes well Trump didn't do this

but the Senate picked their Majority

Leader

th now I don't know much about this

particular

Senator but uh there will be a lot of

news is breaking about him and I believe

I'll learn about him

soon sorry I had to do that um I have

some concerns about whether he will

really work with Trump as well as he

says he will I think on most things he

will um but he's been he's been critical

of trump in the past so he does not

count as a loyalist per se uh definitely

a loyal Republican but not a trump

loyalist so we'll

see I would say the

uh the verdict is out so th can either

be a

superstar or or less than that and I

believe that uh that is completely in

his hands he's a little bit of a blank

slate I mean people who really know the

in inner workings of things may have an

opinion but the rest of us don't really

have any idea he's he's just like a

brand new character on the stage for

most of us so I'm going to say open mind

um he might be

great but keep an eye on

it so as you've already heard Mt Gates

has been nominated by Trump to be the

Attorney General the wild Street Journal

um which is not wild about this says

quote in the editorial this is a bad

choice for the attorney general that

would undermine confidence in the law

undermine confidence in the law are you

kidding who has confidence in the law

how could you possibly undermine

confidence in the law it's

2024 we've been

lawed Way Beyond any sense that the law

has been operating on our behalf no I

don't have any confidence in the

law are you kidding me or science or

just about anything else at the moment

so

um and then they noted that Gates has a

law degree from William

Mary uh but that he's going to cause all

kinds of provocations and it's going to

be a bunch of problems blah blah blah

blah blah now their their argument seems

to be that he's a performer and

provocator and that that's the wrong fit

for the Attorney

General can I can I give some uh

education to the Wall Street Journal

editorial board would you mind if I

taught the people who are supposedly

experts in business some basic

facts about business do you mind if I

educate them all right I'm Wall Street

Journal editorial board I'm taking you

aside let me explain something to you

goes like

this um if I if I were to encounter a

Kitt here's how I would act a cute

little kitten a here's a little scratch

if I were to encounter somebody trying

to kill me I would react more

like and try to fight it

off if I went to a job interview I would

act polite and

professional if I were elected to

congress and I knew that getting

attention was just like money I would be

provocative in other words because I

have a functional brain I will modify my

behavior for the circumstances so that I

get the best the best pull from the

certain circumstance now

if the Wall Street Journal thinks that

that Gates is going to go to the

Attorney General job and act the same

way that he acted in Congress where

provocation was rewarded and then he

would go where provocation is definitely

not rewarded and he would not figure

that out and you don't think he's smart

enough to know that the way you act as

an attorney general is different than

you act if you're a member of Congress

especially young member of Congress and

different than you would act if you were

on the Supreme Court and different than

you would act if you were a babysitter

and different than you would act in

every place in the world how

about everybody acts different when the

context changes Trump does have you ever

seen Trump interact with say teenagers

or the barber shop or the employees at

McDonald's does Trump act exactly the

same way when he's talking to the

employees at McDonald's as he does when

he's talking to the fake news no he

modifies his performance to the

situation if you don't think Gates is

smart enough to modify his performance

for the

situation you shouldn't be writing

editorials for the Wall Street Journal I

mean that's that's kid stuff this is

basic so that's uh that's disappointing

from The Wall Street Journal

um here's and then of course there's a

lot of worry that uh this is sign in

that Trump is going to get busy with

lawfare maybe so let me let me say this

clearly having a loyalist who's as let's

say as a whose risk reward profile is

what Gates is it does open the

possibility that we could be um I would

be surprised by it but that there could

be a little bit of lawfare that you

didn't see coming some some little

revengeyoutube

now as I've told you too many times I

would not be in favor of that at all and

I will immediately at least be one of

the voices pushing back if I think he

goes too far however that is a risk I'm

really willing to take right the world

is not risk free but what we have is a

situation where the Department of

Justice in my opinion is completely

broken and has become a lawfare

organization the only person I would

trust to dismantle a exist lawfare

situation is somebody like Matt Gates or

if I may say exactly Matt Gates and not

even just somebody like Matt Gates Matt

Gates like he would be my number

one choice in the whole

world because he's young enough he's

aggressive enough he has the you know he

has the ear of the president and he's

watched the laware and presumably some

of it was against him

so we need more than we need anything in

this country we need somebody to go in

and just brutally get rid of the lawfare

Leaning

people now does that give you the risk

that the pendulum goes too far and then

Republicans become a little law fairy

themselves yes that is a risk and that

is your

job not just Matt Gate's job not the

president's job alone this is your job

as supporters of the president if you

were or or even if you weren't you know

if you're just acting as a citizen as a

citizen you need to be The

Gatekeepers to make sure that doesn't go

too far all right I I plan to be very

serious about that because it's a

legitimate concern if I were a Democrat

I would definitely be worried about that

no doubt about it I'd be worried about

that and I think it's our responsibility

to make sure that that stays Within you

know if you broke a real law then that

has to be

addressed now who would be worried about

that well um we've got Adam cheff who's

a little worried about

it and

uh yeah so Adam schf is not too happy

about the Matt Gates situation now Matt

Gates might not be confirmed so he might

not have enough support um and there

might not uh certainly if he needs

Democrats

but apparently they can do something

clever with the rules where if Trump um

let's see if the two members of Congress

if the Senate and the house do not agree

on an adjournment let's say one wants to

adjourn and one doesn't um then if they

don't agree or they don't agree on the

timing of it then the president can

adjourn them so once they're adjourned

then you can do these recess

appointments now I think they're not

permanent I think they're two years two

years and most or something like that

but you can get a lot done in two years

so we don't know for sure if the

Democrats have a way to thwart that but

it'll be fun to

watch now the point it and uh Matt Gates

has already resigned his job by the way

which as some have pointed out is a

total baller move because because he's

basically said you know I'm in you know

I'm going to do whatever it takes I'm in

on the other hand it might be a

practical decision because it also opens

up um space and it gives Trump another

hit on the Overton window so the Overton

window is you create so much news that

even if there's some of it that normally

would be negative to you you overwhelm

it with new news so this would create

the situ ation where Trump uh you

obviously talking to disantis it would

be dantis decision could uh I think just

select a temporary new um representative

is that how it works do I have the

process right It's Des santis right d

santis gets to fill the space until the

next election is that correct now who do

you think he'd fill the space with well

it turns out that Laura Trump has

expressed interest in an

interview now she didn't say it directly

she just said if asked you know she

would of course serve now that's a

yes how much fun would that be because

she's coming off a what looks like a

terrific job um for the

RNC and she fits

every she checks off every box I she's

definitely smart enough she's great on

TV she's got Central Casting look she's

you know as loyal as you could possibly

be it's hard to imag imagine that

there's any box she doesn't check so I'd

be for it but it would also be great

provocative news to add to the uh the

whole cycle then there's also people who

say that there's some uh ethics report

that might be in the works against Gates

and if he's no longer in the house then

any ethics report would presumably just

go away because there's no point in it

so there could be several reasons for

him to announce he's leaving early

um but uh sure made things

interesting let's see uh Eric swell

doesn't like it Adam Schiff doesn't

like Gates being there and uh what do

those two guys have in common Adam

Schiff and Eric swell what do they have

in

common I think I've told you that uh in

the Democrat World they have regular

Liars that would be just you know any

Senator representative they're going to

say things or exaggerations about Trump

or maybe they'll spread one of the

hoaxes or something but sort of General

ordinary political lying but when they

need somebody to lie the big lies like

the really big Whoppers the ones that

even the regular Democrats won't touch

they Trot out Adam Schiff and Eric

swalwell every time it's always those

two right so so once you realize that

they're the designated liars and that

you know the the the ones that come out

with them are like you know

Woodward and Brennan sometimes Clapper

like there's there's this group of

people who always accompany the biggest

lie so the two of the biggest lie guys

Adam Schiff and Eric swall are like oh

no they're they're all over TV and well

not on TV in shift's case but they're

they're both the vocal ones now I think

they both have something to worry about

again they should be completely

protected against

lawfare

100%

but it seems to me there are

observable behaviors that need to be

looked into that a normal reasonable

person would say yeah we kind of need to

look into that so I don't want it to

cross any any

barriers into lawfare but uh I could see

why they'd be worried all right the

choice of Pete Heth

as Secretary of

Defense I'm watching a number of people

have a reaction very similar to my own

which is what that can't be

true Pete Heth wait you're talking about

Pete heg Seth are you pronouncing that

right the you talk about the fox weekend

host

you did you couldn't even get like a

weekday host you had to get like a

weekend host and then you then you dig

down and you find out that number one

he's brilliant and he's got you know

Harvard and Yale on his resume and he

spent a lot of time in some pretty

serious military

positions and he was once um considered

it for head of the VA the first

administration because he's done so much

work for veterans

and then I said to myself wait a minute

he knows the military from the bottom up

he's you definitely uh loyal to Trump

and then I watched some clips where he

is super anti-woke and wants to get rid

of all the generals who would be Dei and

woke people and I said to myself I've

never seen any more anyone more perfect

for the job and he also has the Central

Casting thing has the look so I went

from this is

stupid to is this

genius is is this as smart as it looks

because it might be

like not Yale I saw a Yale I think I

thought there was some Yale he had two

degrees so I'll take a fact check on

that there might be a fact check on his

degrees but in any case he is both

brilliant and he has enough connections

with and experience with and all the

right ways the military that uh he

doesn't have to be he doesn't have to do

the jobs of the people who would work

for him that's their jobs but for the

big decision-making things the Bold

changes the getting rid of a general the

you know the the big changes that we

might need to make in funding and

spending and all those things yeah you

know what I I I say open

mind and uh you know I'm sure he was

looked at very carefully for that job

and uh let's see what happens I I do

think that I want somebody that Trump

can trust more than I want somebody with

experience and I'll say that with no

hesitation for that job The Experience

doesn't count as much because you know

it knows how to run itself no matter who

the boss is but for the special things

that the boss has to do such as fire a

general or change the general direction

to be more compatible with what Trump

wants or even just to make sure that

when Trump says he wants something it

actually gets executed and not slow

walked so you need somebody who can

recognize the slow walk like when

something's ordered they go oh yeah

we'll do that but it takes five years so

and then you need somebody say no it

doesn't it takes two months to do it

anyway so he might be a great choice

tulsey gabber Director of National

Intelligence oh well let me say one more

thing about P Heth I saw a video uh by

Don Lemon before he left Twitter as he

calls it I call it X and he was laughing

and mocking that Pete hegseth would be

chosen for Secretary of

Defense so let me summarize the

situation for

you uh there was a guy named Don Lemon

who worked for a network TV outfit there

was a guy named P Heth who worked for a

competing TV news Outlet probably pretty

similar pay pretty similar

visibility and uh one of them just got

promoted to the Secretary of

Defense in charge of the strongest

military in the history of the known

universe the other one is Don

and he just left

X okay so you can sort of see why he'd

have an attitude about it didn't work

out the way he

hoped now who else got a good promotion

oh somebody else got a good promotion uh

there was this woman you may have heard

of her she was on the terrorist watch

list yeah she was on the terrorist watch

list

that's that's

dangerous so but she got promoted to be

the Director of National Intelligence

her name is tulsy

Gabbert yep went from being on the

terrorist watch list so she couldn't fly

without people following around to the

boss of all those

people well not all the people in the

TSA I suppose but uh that's like the had

intelligence

job now is Tulsi Gabbert the right

choice for

that I like

it I like it a lot yeah I'm all in on

that one and again um can you trust

Tulsi gabard to be working productively

and to be honest with

Trump

yes yes yes yes so love

it uh I think she'll be confirmed Rubio

for secretary

State now I know some of you are

thinking Rubio might be too neocon I

don't think you have to worry about that

at all here's why he's got a boss called

Trump Rubio is not going to be out like

doing his own

thing Rubio is smart enough he's been

around enough that he knows what that

job is the job is to do the do the work

of the president if he has a problem

with the president's Direct ction he'll

talk to him privately but no do I do I

think that Rubi Rubio has the experience

the personality the the character

the I don't know the vision yes yes he

has all that could Rubio be a president

someday yes absolutely I don't know if

he'd be my first choice depends who's

running but no I don't have any problems

with him at all and I'm not worried

about the neocon thing cuz I think that

as long as Trump's the boss that takes

care of

itself um then the the left is running

out of insults they can't even figure

out how to insult anybody so you may

have heard that uh the Doge effort do G

which stands for Department of

government efficiency the Elon Musk

effort to make the government more

efficient and smaller and cost less um

will now be joined with v

ramaswami so they will partner on this

effort I don't know if they have a ones

in charge or or their Partners or or

whatever and maybe they don't need to

even have that

but what do you think of that let me

tell you what Lawrence O'Donnell on

MSNBC says he says that musk got quote a

humiliating

demotion from the head of Doge to

Simply A A co-worker with VI yeah that

was a humiliating demotion to find that

one of the most capable people we've

ever seen even anywhere near our

government is going to work on the

hardest problem we've ever had to crack

which is how do you fix the

government now you have to work really

hard to turn that positive into a

negative it it would be like if you

found that um Ben Franklin if he had

been alive at the same time Ben Franklin

and Thomas Edison have teamed up and

then Lawrence O'Donnell would be it's a

humiliating demotion for Ben

Franklin and I'd be like okay you

realize they're probably better together

right humiliating demotion and and then

you look at Lawrence O'Donald's face and

he has that mental illness face where

his smile doesn't match what he's saying

and a humiliating devotion he's like

enjoying it too much it's like some

weird almost looks like he's

masturbating under the desk when he

talks

almost anyway um there was some concern

about

uh um security because if you start

cutting the government there's a lot of

people in the government were very very

bad people and literally murderers so

you know or Killers let's say but our

government includes a lot of people who

have killed people right people who are

in the military have killed people

people in the intelligence Community

have killed people people in the Senate

have voted for things that that they

knew would kill people so the government

is actually the one organization has

more killers in it than prison I think

as a percentage certainly as a number

but don't you think there are more

Killers literally killers in the

government than there are in their

prisons CU most of the prisoners are not

murderers but there's a whole lot of

people in the State Department the

military and the government who have

been in the military and literally have

killed people

right so if you're trying to downsize

and take away something that's valuable

to the largest group of literally

killers that that we have outside of the

military itself you know the active

military um it's dangerous so musk

actually said on X yeah I have to say

that cutting this much waste will make a

lot of bad people angry we need extra

tight security

but Joshua Hartley on X took it to

another level and I boosted this one he

said uh maybe we should skip the massive

inauguration ceremony too much security

risk given uh uh who you are planning to

expose fire and dismantle have been

waging Shadow Wars domestically and

internationally for the past 60 years

celebrate when balance and Order are

restored you know what

I agree with

that as much as I think a um an

inauguration ceremony is sort of good

for the I don't know the the body of the

country you know it gives us moments and

these moments create the country you

know these moments where we all focus on

the same thing but I think it's too

dangerous to put this government

Outdoors at this point in time and it's

outdoors right now all it takes

is well I don't have to give the bad

guys any ideas right um I think maybe

the era of large outdoor events where

you have me multiple members of

government there like are we going to

put our president and our vice president

on the same stage are we really going to

do

that because if if any one of them is on

the stage the other one needs to be in

the

bunker or you know at least the vice

president does so and what and what if

somebody says it's more than a twofer

you know what if you get several of them

like was some kind of event that kills

more than one person this is really

scary now Trump is uh not likely to back

down so I think he is most likely to go

ahead and do it publicly but let me just

say uh um from the perspective of one

citizen this is just my opinion

uh this is not worth the risk to

me so I'll just say personally that

level of risk of going in public with

these people that you've chosen

especially that's more risk than I'm

willing to accept for the benefit of

just having a TV event that you didn't

really need to

do so maybe some of you disagree with me

and I would respect that disagreement

but we really are in a different time

and we don't know the size of the risk

and I think all of us have said why are

the Democrats so

quiet it's almost like they have a

plan and I don't like any of it so

without knowing what the plan is I would

assume the worst just assume the worst

now it's possible that the reason

Democrats are so quiet is that they've

been thoroughly destroyed and even when

they talk among themselves all they can

do is argue about whose fault it was

probably so there could be two reasons

one is they're completely dismantled

there's just nobody to talk to anybody

or have any good

ideas but the other is that they do have

a plan and that one that one's

scary um we're still waiting for more

announcements and more

nominations um the one that excites me

the most although I'm really excited

about all the ones we have so far would

be uh

hopefully the head of Hud will be buil

po if he's willing to take the job I

think he might but he has the whole

stack people like he's got the the

building industry experience it's in his

blood he was literally born to it and

worked with it he's an entrepreneur he's

Pro Trump he's the he's one of the best

communicators I've ever seen in my life

I saw one of his hits yesterday on um

one of the networks I think it was Fox

Business and I was just sort of looking

at the quality of his answers oh my

God you know you know how impressed you

are when you watch vake or you watch um

your JD

Vance and you say to yourself we we

don't have people who talk that well

like this is a whole new game where

where somebody's answer isn't just

complete but it's right on target hits

every point hits all the persuasion

points and shows intelligence and and

empathy at the same time and that's what

P has right you have to watch it if if

you haven't seen him talk just watch how

well he answers questions and you tell

me that Trump doesn't want more of that

he does so we don't know if this going

to happen but HUD right now is the you

know Housing and Urban Development but I

think it would be the natural place that

the Trump Freedom cities would be

focused and I think that's the most

exciting thing for the future of the

country you know AI will be part of it

and self-driving cars will be part of it

and all that but we need to redesign

cities so I don't know if I've ever said

this directly so maybe there's a reason

you don't know why I'm so excited about

designing

cities we need to figure out how to

design one that works really well and

then reproduce it what we're not going

to be able to do is tweak the existing

cities they're they're just too

structurally hard to change you're going

to have to figure out maybe a variety of

different flavors of cities designed

with completely different uh intentions

and different uh organizational

assumptions and just see which ones work

some will work for some kind of people

some will work with others but there's

nothing more important because our our

expenses and our jobs are so focused

around building and homes everything

from the furniture to the Carpenters

that if we can if we can reinvigorate

the building industry in a way that's

not just do some more

building that's like one or two% on the

GDP I mean we're talking we're talking

really fun then then then we're really

having

fun anyway uh the head of poly markets

which we talked a lot about um has been

I guess his phones and electronic

devices have been seized by authorities

and we don't know what he's charged with

if anything or if he will be but it made

uh Mike covich point out that uh his own

comments about his phone suddenly

getting slow did anybody have the

experience that their phone started

slowing down in the last month or so

because I had that experience too my my

phone went from battery life lasting all

day to maybe an hour or at least it

seems like it like it it it's almost

useless my phone is almost useless

because I always just have to worry

about tra um charging it now I

thought that Apple was doing that thing

where they make your phone bad just in

time for when you're thinking about an

upgrade and I'm thinking about an

upgrade and there's a new upgrade cycle

coming and then just like before in

Prior upgrades my phone's battery gets

really bad when it's time to look for a

new phone and yes it was enough to

convince me to buy a new phone I haven't

done it yet but I'm definitely buying a

new phone because my current one doesn't

work well enough to keep

now cerovich would be on on a pretty

short list of people that bad guys would

want to see if they could get any dirt

on right yeah you you figure if there's

any bad

guys using surveillance in ways that

maybe isn't

appropriate he would be on the short

list I too would be on the short list of

people that they would look at if

they're just searching around looking

for some dirt now in my case they're not

going to find anything because um as

I've told you many times for at least 25

years I've lived my life like there are

no secrets meaning that it doesn't mean

there aren't things that would be maybe

like embarrassing or something

but I don't care about being

embarrassed so literally anytime I write

anything that if if it were found like

i' I'd have to explain it I don't care

I'm

fine there there are plenty of things I

might have to

explain but okay none of them are going

to embarrass me enough that I care

so

um so I'm not going to make a uh I I

guess I won't say that I know what's

happening because the the odds that it's

just a technology and marketing reason

that my phone is dying

it's pretty good but it is true that if

your phone gets slow it could be an

indication that somebody's in it that's

true I do believe that my phone is

penetrated but I wouldn't know if it's

our country or China or anything

else but yes I assume my phone is not

secure

um so the Harris campaign we hear from

Ms um oh no we hear from somebody else

that uh donated half a million dollars

to Al Sharpton's nonprofit before he

interviewed her on what is called a

softball interview on MSNBC now is that

an example of moneya laundering

coincidentally his uh his nonprofit

which I'm sure pays him a salary and

maybe pays for some of his expenses

suddenly got half a million dollars from

the very person that he's going to

endorse now how about those other

celebrities that got millions of dollars

and then also

endorsed now on paper it looks like they

got their millions of dollars maybe to

entertain or maybe to

appear but in reality it's to us it just

looks

like it just looks like moneya

laundering looks like

bribery I guess bribery and money

laundering are different but it looks

like the combination of bribery and

money laundering now is it remember I

told you earlier this seems like

literally everything Democrats

do it all has the same element where

there's a large amount of money that's

being pushed through sketchy

organizations so everybody can get a

taste and it's just over and over and

over again this is the reason I think

you need to build new cities because the

existing cities allow the elected

politicians to decide where the big um

contracts and bids go

to which means that all cities are

corrupt

if you give local politicians the power

to decide where the money

goes you're guaranteed to have

corruption guaranteed that that

responsibility needs to be taken away

from the city leaders they shouldn't

have control over money flowing through

the system in that way or there's more

transparency you could get to it that

way that's Central

planning

[Music]

um well everything is centrally planned

it's just what the center

is anyway Candace Owens has a uh had a

whistleblower CIA whistleblower Kevin

chip and he says that Martin Luther King

was murdered by the

CIA H and uh which is interesting

because Trump had promised that he would

release those files as well and he says

that was a CIA operation because they

considered him a dangerous communist and

the FBI was bugging the churches where

giving some of his speeches he was a top

Target for

elimination how many of you believe that

the CIA killed Martin Luther

King I I always just assumed it didn't

you always assume that I I don't know

when I first started assuming it but I

always thought it was so

obvious I mean after I was you know at a

school you know when I was in school of

course I was just propagandized but once

I became an adult and started seeing how

the real world

worked it didn't take me long to piece

it together and it wasn't because I saw

something on the news the the whole time

I was like wait a minute so they're

saying that the CIA or somebody may have

killed

Kennedy and he

was provocative but elected president

what are the odds that Martin Luther

King was a totally random

shooter you know so I I think I'd work

that one out on my own that that didn't

really look like a coincidence to me so

um he was dangerous to the

system um so he was considered dangerous

to the

system now isn't it interesting that the

same people who allegedly killed him

elevated him to a

symbol of uh peace and a model to follow

here's what I think I think that Martin

Luther King was elevated by the white

leadership of the country because he

preached

peace and so as long as they focused on

the peaceful part they could keep

control of the the part of the country

they wanted to control apparently and

they would they would use him as their

brainwashing operation while at the same

time their their internal view was that

he was so bad bad he had to be killed

but if they could sell him as a symbol

of peace then he could keep future

Generations

passive so I always thought he was just

an OP not well he wasn't the op he he

was doing his thing but that he was used

as part of somebody else's

op anyway um there's research in cyos

that suggests people are getting more

bored because of phones and stuff I will

disagree with that because I have not

been bored since phones were

smartphones how many of you would say

the same I I don't remember the last

time I was bored but boredom when I was

a child was my number one problem my

number one problem I was bored out of my

freaking skull as a child in school

bored in college bored now not in the

fun Parts but bored in the classes and

stuff

so boredom has been and i' I've said

this before boredom has been one of my

biggest challenges in my whole life and

that went completely away when

smartphones became

workable because I'm standing in line

I'm looking at my phone I'm

fascinated there there's not a time when

there isn't something on my phone that

fascinates me so I haven't been bored

have any of you

maybe you're Bor you may be lonely more

than you're

bored uh loneliness is still real I mean

that your phone won't solve

loneliness and now there's uh thoughts

from the Harvard Crimson is writing

about some research that pesticide

consumption might be linked to male

infertility it's a Harvard study so they

say if you're eating some fruit that's

got thick skin maybe it's not so bad but

if you're eating thin skin stuff like a

strawberry maybe the pesticides are

getting in there and maybe you should

think of some organic strawberries that

are small and weird looking uh that

ladies and

gentlemen is the

conclusion of my incredible podcast for
