Episode 2674 CWSA 11/29/24

morning it looks like the stock market is off to a nice little run Tesla's up all right not too bad even rumbles up today I think we're uh going to have the best show ever might not be obvious why but it's because everything's awesome and you're going to have a good time just wait you just wait all right almost ready good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and darn it you've never had a better time 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 for that is a cuper Mugger glass tager CH Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine h of the day thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go Delicious By the way if you're listening later on Spotify where this gets it's uploaded after I'm done I I hear the commercials are insanely loud compared to the content I don't think that happens any on the other platforms so you could always listen on a different platform um because the studio I'm using only sends one audio signal to all the all the different platforms so oh it doesn't send it to Spotify though does it I guess ify is adding the commercials on the platform so I'm not sure how to fix that but I'll look into it well you would not be surprised according to s poost that whole coffee Cherry extract supplement might improve working memory now you might say to me what is a coffee cherry and how do you take the Cherry from the coffee and the answer is a cherry is the the coating to the uh to the Coffee Bean I guess and normally when you drink coffee they remove that part but the part they remove is awesome it's awesome so apparently if you were to eat the part that remove you'd have good working memory now I don't take a chance so what I do is I grow a Coffee Tree in my backyard and then every morning I just go out and I lick the bark you know the leaves and I definitely eat all the cherries so that's what what I do uh this would be a good time to remind you not to take any medical advice from me not once by the way if you notice behind me where you can almost read it there are the one two three four five best things you could buy as a gift I I I actually promise you that if you know somebody who likes reading books at least one of these books is going to work for everybody you can hit every every every person if it's somebody who doesn't know anything about me and doesn't know anything about Dilbert you want to go for the reframe your brain that just works for everybody and had failed almost everything and still went big those are guaranteed to make them happy if they're political and they like stuff like how to learn persuasion win bigle is the book and if they're philosophical and they like to think about the nature of reality itself then God's debris the complete works would be the way to go and if they are Dilbert um fans but they don't care about the politics or the persuasion then get the 2025 Dilbert calendar now the important thing is that the calendar is only available at a link you can find at dilbert.com the books are on Amazon so if you want the book just search Amazon they'll all pop up but the calendar I would get that right away because I can't guarantee that if you get it a week before Christmas it's going to show up right so I wouldn't wait on the calendar we're making those as we as we get orders so so sooner is better anyway um scientists according to no Ridge have made magic polymers that can pull water from the thin air with less energy so there's all kinds of um all kinds of scientific breakthroughs in creating water out of the air but it all takes energy and this one takes way less energy so it's not it's not going to you know power your city but it might help you in an emergency well there's the first asthma treatment breakthrough in half a century according to Kent live news it's a game changer they say some kind of vaccination they say will substantially decrease your asthma attacks well I don't know might take a couple years before that works its way through the system we'll see I'm I'm a skeptical of everything um there is a Prebiotic supplement of some something called inulin and of course frul gasa sakade pretty sure I pronounced that exactly right and it boosts brain function in old people h huh but here's the interesting part what it does is it changes your gut chemistry and here's an actual sentence from the article see if this sounds familiar to you uh quote evidence for the close relationship between the gut and the brain is growing year after year now watch this part see if this sounds like me some experts are now so convinced by the results they refer to the gut as the body's second brain what do I tell you almost every day almost every day I tell you that your body is your brain there's no such thing is the brain in its own little closed off area and then your body is your body no your body is your brain it if you don't have all that chemistry right in your body your brain isn't working period so your your brain and your body are one tool all right uh reportedly Elon Musk is going to use his AI called X Ai and do a little Standalone app so right now it only exists in in X as grock but they're going to make their own Standalone as far as I can tell it seems way behind chap GPT because Gro so far doesn't have images is and it doesn't have ability to talk to it you there's a lot it doesn't do I don't know if it's going to catch up I keep I keep seeing stories that say that Elon musk's version is going to catch up to Chad GPT but it doesn't look like it's happening so I mean it could happen quickly if they you know make some big change I suppose but I don't know meanwhile the oceans cooled the planet more than we thought but also according to no Ridge um so turns out that the ocean gives off some kind of sulfur gas and that hadn't been totally understood and that sulfur gas cools the climate more than previously thought so what they're doing is they're going back to all their climate models and now they're using this new knowledge about the sulfur that's coming out of the ocean and how it cools things to modify their models now here's an interesting question why do they need to modify the models I've been told quite reliably that 98% of all scientists say the models are telling us enough of what we need to know I mean nothing's perfect but they're telling us enough of what we need to know that we can put trillions and trillions of dollars into it so why do we need to fix the models uh I thought you told me the model models already worked cuz you asked me for trillions of dollars so why do I have a new story every single day about a new variable that they didn't know about that's very large and so they're incorporating it into the models any of you who have lived in the real world as long as I have you know what that means right if you have a model that's telling you the truth and then you keep changing the model by by adding variables almost every week and the variables are kind of big and no matter what you do you still get the same answer if if you're 25 you think that means that climate change is real and they've got a real good bead on it when you're 65 the fact that they change it every week tells you that they don't know what they're doing it's a it's a real big difference in experience am I right th those of you who are older and have experience when you see that they're adding a new variable to their complicated models and they're adding it every week and they're big they're big variables that tells you it's there's no other explanation there there literally is no other explanation but if you're young you just think oh the models were good before and they're getting better no that's not what's happening all right uh meanwhile according to Daily Caller news Foundation the America's most expensive uh Dei program is about to go away so apparently the University of Michigan had this uh they've they've spent $250 million on Dei since 2016 and students and faculty have reported deteriorating campus climate um racism is worse they have exactly the same percentage of black enrollment and they got absolutely nothing out of it except people feeling bad about each other so that's what they got for $250 million hey does anybody know how they could have saved $250 million is there anything they could have done anybody they could have asked hey we just need your advice should we spend $250 million on this well they should have asked Scott because I would have told them you know if you divide people into groups and say that one of those groups is the oppressor and one group is the victim uh what's going to happen huh what's going to happen use my giant brain to predict into the future you divide people into groups and you make won the oppressor and won the victim how does that turn out oh you wasted your $250 million that's a quarter of a billion do you think that uh University could have done anything useful with a quarter of a billion dollars like teaching classes better and paying teachers more stuff like that well anyway the uh University is talking about Shak handing the whole thing because the program created quote a culture of grievance huh who could have seen that coming a culture of grievance maybe they should have asked me well you can see that it's all happening now if the biggest I think the biggest employer isn't is Walmart the biggest employer outside the government so the government is the biggest employer they're going to get rid of Dei under Trump uh if you count the military they're going to get rid of Dei Walmart I don't know if they're the biggest company at least employment wise but they're getting they got rid of Dei and now the largest in the University World in terms of spending and how much attention they gave it looks like they're talking about just getting rid of it entirely everything's going my way all right meanwhile according to the hill America's opinion of the Republican party is on the rise and America's opinion of the Democrats is on the decline why well I don't know but in the poll 45% Americans said they feel favorable toward the Republicans now still under 50% so it's not the best in the world but 45% how is that compared to how they people feel about Democrats oh not so well so uh GOP went um uh who said they felt unfavorable oh so both the GOP went down a little bit but it's still bigger than the Democrats so Democrats are 39% had a good good feeling about their party and uh more Republicans like their party that makes sense I mean nobody's surprised by that right Joe Rogan made a little news again as he's as he does you know I'll tell you the thing about Joe Rogan that is the least appreciated is the mistakes he doesn't make so you know how the dog not barking is the one you don't notice the the mistakes that could easily be made that Joe Rogan doesn't make it's kind of impressive I I'm more and more of the opinion that Joe Rogan is just one of the smartest people we've ever seen in the public sphere but part of what makes him smart is he doesn't act smart like he doesn't you know rub it in your face or you know wear a you know wear a robe or something he he just lives his life but if you sort of follow him for years as I have and many of you have where are all the dumb things have you noticed there's no dumb things like everybody who talks that much to that many people they're going to have some dumb stuff in their catalog right that the dumbest thing that Joe Rogan has done has turned out to be right you know like taking Ivon and stuff like that so even the things he was criticized for the most well kind of turned out right but here's another one apparently zalinski uh wanted to come on Joe Rogan's podcast and according to Rogan he said zalinsky tried to come on yeah they tried to get zalinsky on he says I was like what are you talking about and he does sort of a weird voice because he's just joking what are you talking about so that was exactly the right response no don't put zilinski on Joe Rogan show so Rogan quite correctly realized this was a prop aganda run and nothing good could come from it now remember he he wanted to talk to both the presidential candidates so if it was American Business and it was you know political he was all in he had you know Bernie Sanders on but zalinski is not like the others he's just pure propaganda so Rog is like no again if he if he had never told you that story that zalinski pitched it and he said no I mean think about how big the ratings would have been it's not like he was unaware that the ratings would have been you know Monumental of course they would have been and he's still and he still said no that was the right answer I I think he I think he got the right answer there uh let's talk about Putin so Putin's psychology game is uh I I was going to say second to none but it might be second to Trump one of the reasons that I think those two Bond a little bit you know as adversaries but they bond is that they're both so good at the psychology just listen to what Putin says and I'm not going to try to convince you that Putin means every word he says and it's all completely honest right we don't have to have that conversation right we we don't need any NPCs stor me in saying oh you're Putin's puppet how could you believe what Putin said no nothing like that's going to happen I'm going to tell you what Putin said I'm going to tell you what effect I think it had but I'm not going to tell you that Putin's the smartest person in the world and everything he says is true and we should do what he says right so NPCs calm down calm down you can handle this right so here are some of the things Putin said I guess he was at some event made some news he said that Trump is intelligent and he will find a solution to the Ukraine war so interesting Trump gets criticized for calling Putin smart and capable and his critics say what how can you compliment that monster don't you know he's your enemy stop saying good things about him but there's the enemy allegedly Putin and he's doing the same thing he's returning the compliment that's a pretty big compliment you know if if Putin says that you're intelligent and you're going to find a solution to the war like almost matter of factly whereas the current president did not find a solution to the war and it doesn't look like there was any chance that was ever going to happen you you can see that Putin's trying to get on the good side of trump now do you think Putin has a Intel that if he Praises Trump and makes him his ego feel good that he might get a better deal of course he does because literally every person in America says Trump just listens to the last person in the room and whoever kisses his ass the most now do you think anybody really knows that no do you do you know why Trump listens to the last person in the room does anybody know why CU at some point you have to be done you you have to be done make a decision at some point it's sort of like you you find the lost thing in the last place you look because the last place you look is where you found it so there's no place to look after you've found it so when the last PE person leaves the room that's when he realizes that he's made a decision because now he's heard both sides but now he's heard the side he likes he wants to hear that one more time that's the one you want to hear before you make your decision the one that you were leaning toward just to make sure it still sounds good so yes it should be completely normal that in general you're going to agree with the last person out of the room it's probably pretty normal doesn't mean every time but bet a lot of times it's just the most normal way that anything Works however let's see sorry um he Putin said he was ready for peace talks with Ukraine without preconditions but on the same terms he laid out over the summer which are preconditions so Putin says he wants to have a talk without preconditions as long as we're taking all the preconditions into consideration the preconditions would be Ukraine decides not to be part of NATO and that um basically Putin keeps the four areas that he already conquered and he already owns basically so that sounds like exactly the deal we all know is going to happen so that's interesting Putin also said that he thinks Trump's life is in danger was in danger and is now and uh even the cab members at risk you know that Tom Holman and at least someone else who was a cabinet pick got some death threats over the weekend so things are looking dangerous and Putin is warning um that uh that there's a genuine threat to Trump uh so here's what I want to know do you think that Putin's intelligence in other words his Intel departments do you think that they know enough about the American government that they know that the Democrats are planning or somebody is planning to try to kill Trump because there's no way we would know whether he is just saying that for a fact or if he actually has information because he wouldn't want to give away that he has information because that would give away his sources and methods right so the thing I wonder is does Putin know more than we do about the threat now here again I compliment Putin for his psychology game without being a supporter of him because he's a terrible terrible murderer of people um it's it's really smart for him to talk about the risk to to Trump because if nothing happens to Trump then he's sort of a good guy who you know showed some empathy for Trump and warned him and if something does happen to Trump he's the guy who warned him so warning Trump about the danger is just a smart play like it it's good no matter what happens it's good for Putin it's not good for us and uh s Putin went and he legalized crypto in Russia and he slash taxes on mining mining from crypto I guess I think that's what that means um and he uh trading income will be taxed at 133% and blah blah blah more if it's more so basically uh he's big on crypto what do you think of that well you know Trump is pro crypto compared to any prior president and I've heard some people say that crypto is the only way the US ends up financially okay and what I mean by that is that if you own some crypto let's say Bitcoin specifically um its odds of going up in value the smart people say it's almost guaranteed now the the counterargument would be there's something that we find out that we didn't know about and that's a pretty big risk for example finding out that there's some way to hack or steal your crypto wallet that nobody could have seen coming and no way to fix it now I haven't seen that but you could sort of imagine that something that's a technology where there might be some vulnerability that you haven't uh seen yet but if that doesn't happen that alleged hypothetical vulnerability that nobody's quite seen yet um in all the all of the uh all of the signals say that crypto will just keep going up basically forever so if you had for example a bunch of cash Investments and you add a little bit of crypto your situation should be that your your cash will uh inflate away to zero and your crypto will make up all the difference so if you had I don't know what the percentages would be because nobody knows what the future is but I'll just give you numbers to like kind of tell the story but don't get caught up on the percentages okay so if for example 80% of your wealth was in cash-like things you know like stocks and bonds and cash that could actually go to zero it could over time I mean not tomorrow but it could go to zero over time just because of inflation so not actually zero but it but it could become so little that you know you wish you didn't Own It crypto could make up all of that difference so if you had 20% crypto and 80% regular cash you might find that the one going up is about matching the one going down but I'm not smart enough or wise enough to say that 20% crypto is a smart number it's not what I have I have less so I'm not giving you any advice on crypto this is not not Financial advice but if you're trying to figure out how in the world does the United States survive crippling debt that just can't be paid back basically it can't be paid back let's be honest we're not going to pay back any $ 35 trillion do 36 nobody's getting paid back we're getting inflated away and people will wish they didn't own it basically so it could be that the only way out is crypto if the government owns some as well as all the citizens then we could pay our taxes and Etc so then if you take that cont context and then you look at Putin legalizing crypto and trying to get ahead of crypto could it be that TR that Putin knows because he's a pretty smart player that uh Russia also has to have crypto or else they're doomed or maybe he needs to own crypto to have some kind of Leverage over the West so when I see Putin going hard at crypto it makes me think that he might be thinking a few moves ahead of us so having Trump in office surrounded by smart people who are pro crypto it feels good I I'm glad that the Trump Administration not Trump specifically he he's no crypto expert but he's certainly surrounded by people who are going to advise him well on that I think meanwhile France has announced that Netanyahu uh is entitled to immunity from the international criminal court because they're not a party to the court now why did it take me until today to realize that so the inter international criminal court uh has a bunch of countries ass signed up but it does not include the United States and it does not include Israel for I guess suppose obvious reason cuz they would be basically we'd be the only ones taken to court and but but France is saying we're not going to arrest somebody who never signed that treaty to which I say oh why why did it never occur to me that that you wouldn't arrest somebody who wasn't part of the treaty so they couldn't have broken it makes sense now obviously that was just a workaround because France doesn't want to be enemies with Israel but it's it's just funny that I didn't see that obvious play that you can't arrest somebody who didn't sign up for it it's worth a shot uh Eric Weinstein agrees with me on physics the difference between us is that he's uh deeply uh let's say deeply invested and educated and experienced in the domain of physics and has his own uh well educated smart thoughts about string theory and his well educated thoughts uh match my own thoughts for the past 20 years for at least 20 years I've been saying you know this String Theory thing it sure has every signal for being now obviously I have no Science Background whatsoever but everything that I kept hearing about it every time I heard something about it I thought you know I don't think that even looks real just doesn't even look real and Eric Weinstein says that uh that string theory has sort of been the dominant thing people were trying to look at for the you know The Theory of Everything to tie everything together and then because it was so dominant as a as a promising direction that it blocked any real breakthroughs for 40 years and that uh at least is a confident or optimistic I'll say he's optimistic that after 40 Years of not getting the job done the physicist might be willing to look past it now and if they look past it suddenly the the possibility of major major breakthroughs might be better now this is sort of one of those hunch kind of ideas because you don't know what the future looks like so you know you know you don't know that there's something out there that's better than string theory and that we have access to it and it'll make a difference we don't know that but to me it's uh it's a warm feeling to know that somebody who is as deep into this topic uh as Eric is has exactly the same opinion I did as just somebody who can spot pretty easily the the only thing I claim is not that I know what is true but I can often spot what isn't so that's my only my only comment on string theory is like I don't know every time I read a story about this it's not that I think the science is wrong it's that everything about this just smells wrong just just everything about it so I agree with Eric I think that's the way it's going to go but it's a hunch on my part not based on any knowledge well as you know Trump is planning to do this largest uh deportation ever but axios reports and I was waiting for this to happen I I kind of suspect that that sooner or later the news would start telling you the following thing you're not going to get many illegal people so I and Holman and Trump and everybody smart said the same thing they said we're obviously going to focus all of our resources in getting rid of the criminals and and we don't know how long that's going to take and there's so many of them but it turns out if you put all your resources on it yeah you might get a few there just aren't many and axos had a story here I won't go through the details you can read it yourself in axios but um for example there are a whole bunch of people who are felons who have been convicted of horrible things like homicide and sexual assault but you can't Deport any of them until they finish their jail sentences so you got 29,000 people who are the mo the most hardened worst criminals and we have them in custody and they're not going to get deported because they're already in jail and jail is the place I guess the law says they got to be and then there are a few other examples like that where there are people who are sort of here legally Etc um so it's possible that Holman won't be able to find Big Bus loads of people to send anywhere so maybe what you're worried about were where you're seeing the military round up giant groups of people and keep them in detention centers until the military transport could get there and take them back it's a terrible visual that you don't want to live in the country where you're seeing your military carrying anybody away like for anything it's just a terrible look I'm I'm Pro Deport ation for the criminals especially uh but it's a it's a bad look so I don't think we're going to have that look I I think there might be like an anecdotal here or there you know there might be a Bus full of people or a Detention Center that's there temporarily but my current feeling is if we stop the new immigrants you know the new illegal immigrants if we stop that pretty well and I think Trump will do that that the gigantic migration immigration even if we try as hard as we can it's just hard and I think it'll be half Buss and it just won't be that much of a visual problem that's my guess so my prediction is you'll see a few anecdotal reports so there will be some reports of too much deportation but they'll be so limited and so just you know temporary that it's not really going to change the public view of things too much that's what I think there is also the claim that uh immigrants do less crime than Americans and that's offered as the argument that you should not Deport so does that argument work with you that the average immigrant let let's let's do two takes on this all right so here what we're going to do is just work through the thinking so we're we're only talking about how to how to think about it should you say hey let's have more immigration because on average they lower our average crime rate does that make sense let's lower our average by having more immigration because apparently the more immigrants you have the lower your crime rate is because they have a lower crime rate do you buy that let's say it's true just for a moment let's say they do have a crime rate there are also 29,000 felons who are convicted of homicide or sexual assault that's 29,000 people who would be alive if we didn't have illegal immigration 29,000 people would be alive or not raped doesn't that feel like a lot I mean I know it's a big country and and the 29,000 would be over multiple years but doesn't your government and your citizens do not your citizens have the right to say I don't care that they have a better rate I want them to kill zero people if somebody comes into your house and Slaughters your family and the police say whoa turns out that the odds of somebody coming in your house and slaughtering your family are way low so stop worrying about it you'll be like but but they slaughtered my family I know but as a percentage of all the crime is very low but but my family's dead I think you need to be a little less racist about this yes they did get slaughtered by an you know by somebody but as a percentage it was very unlikely so if you could just get over it yeah so I think that both things can be true um the I did look a little bit at some of the studies and I would say that uh there is some good evidence that uh the recent immigrants are lower at crime now what they said was I know what you're going to say don't say it I know what one of you is going to say because there's always at least one somebody here is going to say Scott the american crime rate is not like one average you know are they are they doing more or less crime than black Americans more or less than white Americans more or less than um asian-americans well I saw one study that said that they had they do less crime than white Americans do you you know they left out as they always do asian-americans do do you know how often these stories just act like there's no they're no asian-americans all right now let's ask the question again I'm an Asian-American and you tell me that I'm bringing in immigrants but don't worry they're their crime rate is less than the white people and as an Asian-American I say what it's less than the white people is it less than asian-americans no no it's more than asian-americans but it's less than the white people how do you feel about that so you're going to increase the rate of crime in my community yeah but it's still less than the white people I I'm just amused that the asian-americans do such a good job of staying in a jail and making money and staying married and basically doing everything right just continuously and then get left out of the conversation because they do everything right anyway good job asian-americans um but here was one of the uh hypotheses about why the immigrants are less likely to be involved in crime and here comes the kill shot are you ready for this this is not going to make you happy I'm going to give you a reason and now this is just one person's speculation but it sounded so good I'm I'm going to embrace it as my own there is a reason that recent immigrants are more likely or less likely to do a crime you're not going to like it here's a reason that recent immigrants are less likely to do crime you ready for it because they're more likely to be employed Married with Children and in good health oh no no no no no no no is that true is it true recent immigrants are more likely to be employed Married with Children and in good health because those things are very predictive that you're not going to do a crime I think these are true you know anecdotally anecdotally it's true every time I think of something in my own life who came was born in another country they're married they're employed they have children and they go to church damn it damn it they're Republicans let me say it the fast way yes the reason that recent immigrants do not commit as many crimes is because they're Republicans they don't know the Republicans they just act like it get a job get married have kids go to church Republicans so so if I said to you immigrants tend to be Republicans with all that comes with it getting jobs and getting married and staying in a jail that's easy that's easy to accept isn't it if I tell you that immigrants don't have a high crime rate your first your first reaction is W it's not the rate I'm looking at I'm looking at 29,000 people in jail for murder and rape but if I told you uh we brought in a million people who are basically Republicans and I say whoa whoa whoa a million people what about all the crime and then I say yes there's definitely crime because any group of people would have extra crime but there essentially the same rate of crime as Republicans and then what do I do what do I do then because let's say I'm a Republican and I like Republicans and I and I agree that they don't do a lot of crime anyway so as I often say if somebody tells you the raw number of something and doesn't tell you the percentage they are a propagandist that's brainwashing and they're not trying to tell you something useful likewise if they tell you the percentage but not the raw number they are propagandists they're trying to to brainwash you they're not trying to have an honest conversation you need to look at both every time or you don't know anything and I think it can be 100% true that on average we're bringing in a pretty high high class of people at least in terms of cultural compatibility with America at the same time we're bringing in a whole bunch of criminals they can both be true we we simply have to do a better job of everything that we're already doing and and I think everybody agrees with that meanwhile um Tom Holan who's going to be the head of the Border stuff um he was challenged by I guess a Denver Mayor Mike Johnston because Mike Johnston said he's not going to let um the citizens of his City who are maybe undocumented he's not going to let them be rounded up taken to jail and that people like him will be putting their bodies in the way basically protesting in a physical way and uh he doesn't he doesn't care if he has to go to jail for it he's willing to go to jail to defy Trump's deportation operation so somebody asked Tom Holman about the fact that the Denver mayor is willing to go to jail to stop deportation and Tom Holan without cracking his smile says and I paraphrase well at least we found something we agree on he's willing to go to jail and I'm willing to put him in jail and May I drop my mic there mic drop yes Tom Holman that was kind of perfect communication right there yeah Tom Holman is good in general he's a good communicator uh but but every now and then he'll he'll hit like a you know just a base clearing home run that's a base clearing home run yep we agree you're willing to go to jail I'm willing to put you there what's next nicely done communication wise I'm talking about um I saw a video of tulsey Gabbert and I didn't remember she did this but when she was talking about why she was leaving the Democrat Party and she mentioned there were War mongers which didn't make sense for her and that they were too woke but also she said directly that they were anti-white racist the Democrat Party I don't remember her saying that directly but I'd like to thank her because that's both honest and true so yes the Democrats are an anti-white racist party I see them as racists primarily anyway So speaking of uh verbally being verbally good there's this representative of Van Orton who was being challenged by a CNN guy uh CNN host was asking about Trump's tariffs and that Trump's tariffs would increase food prices so how would you answer that because everybody's worried about the price of eggs and whatnot so food prices are you could argue our number one you know really Main Street kind of a issue and uh Trump's talking about tariffs and tariffs would increase prices everybody understands that and here's what rep representative van Orton said quote I'm willing to pay more for guacamole if it means fenel poison doesn't come across our border oh wow oh wow now that's some good communicating now is it sort of accurate No well no no I mean it's not it's not guacamole to fentanyl if it were only guacamole to fenel we would all eat fewer fewer avocados and we wouldn't notice because we just eat other stuff but G the bigger problem is at all food price or or enough of the food goes up in price that it hits everybody so it's certainly not as easy as avoiding avocados however when representative van Orton puts it in that term it is so linguistically excellent in terms of an argument so this is just a persuasion lesson I'm not talking about the policy just about the persuasion and the communication so nice job so I'm gonna this uh this raises my flag so I've never heard of Representative van Orton before uh but he he said a second thing he said uh about fenel he said everyone is now one degree of separation from somebody who died from a fenel death I think that's close to true that pretty much everybody knows somebody I mean in my case my stepson but you all know me so every one of you who knows me knows you're one one degree away um and most of you know somebody else who is one degree away now both of those sentences are really strong you know I of all the things you could have said about this topic U Van Orton reached into the middle and picked out two of the best that probably is not a coincidence so what I'd ask you just keep an eye on this guy because this is unusually good communication and when you see that it's usually a a leading indicator you're going to see more of this person so um keep an eye on him Rob Briner has allegedly deleted his account on X uh after Trump won breit bar news is reporting this and uh we think he's probably going over to Blue Sky um I think he's is that confirmed I don't know but blue sky is the new competitor decks uh Jack dorsy new uh product and it's apparently the uptick is pretty good it's getting a lot of people but I just want to point out something that somebody pointed out in the comments to me earlier you can be on a or you can be on Blue Sky what would be the initials for Blue Sky if you're going to use an acronym Blue Sky well I would use the B I probably use the S from sky that would be oh it's literally BS all right but here's the thing I think is funny um if if Blue Sky had started in a let's say an organic way where it was just a product and everybody had a chance to use it if they liked it they use it some more they would probably have a normal mix of you know left and right political people because everybody would have seen as just the product so it's not political it's just a product but because were highly politicized especially at the moment people see blue sky as where the good and Noble Democrats can go and they see X as that polluted right-wing conspiracy place so presumably Blue Sky now has the greatest number of people with mental health issues of any platform ever and I mean that seriously I would bet you any amount of money really that if you just looked at the percentage of users of you know any other platform Facebook X anything else anything else Rumble that you would find that blue sky probably has just through the roof therapy and uh you know on Mental Health meds and every kind of anxiety and depression and let's just say that they wouldn't know their whole body is also brain have you noticed how many people on the left who seem to have defective brains and by defective I mean either they're not very bright which is that's a problem that's on the left and the right of course there's always some people are not bright but the ones who seem crazy have you noticed that their bodies also look uh deformed have you noticed you have noticed haven't you yeah you look at their bodies and then you listen to them you go wow the things that are coming out of their brains sound just crazy it's not their brain their body is their brain all right if your if your body is destroyed as many of the people on the left have destroyed their bodies you're going to get just crazy stuff coming out of your mouth and that would be a very typical predictable scientifically compatible prediction that you could feel pretty confident about that if that if you have one group where their bodies are a mess and one group on the right especially young men who are very interested in keeping their physical fitness going you should have one group that's happy and one group that's sad and I think because of the weird situation of everything being politicized that the people with the the worst brains not necessarily born the worst but because their body is their brain if they didn't take care of it it's just not working very well and they all ended up in blue sky so I'd be real curious if if I'm right that if you went to Blue Sky it would look like a a mental illness festival and it wouldn't have if it had just been a non-political time when it was launched so we'll see but at the same time that Rob Brer left all of my PID trolls are gone I don't know if you were watching the fund but for the past year or so uh they're very obviously paid and the way you know they're paid is that they they show up like it's time for work so if I would do a post that made a any good point against Democrats or for Trump the first comment 100% of the time the first one would be a troll and the way you can know they're a troll is that they they have a maybe four or five messages that they repeat that are not the ones anybody else ever says it's obvious that at some point in time somebody made a list of all the things you say to Scott so you say to him oh Scott your your opinion of politics is as good as your taking care of your stepson who died of fenel that was one of them very common oh I guess that's why you're divorced which would have nothing to do with politics or anything I said so um and oh that and I guess that's why you're cancelled so they would go for what they thought was the most psychologically destructive thing they could say um completely divorced from whatever point I tried to make so in other words they weren't saying oh have you checked the source they were not saying your facts are wrong they were not saying uh have you considered this they were not saying here's the fact check they were saying what can I say that will make this guy not want to spend another second on X and want to you know get a high-powered rifle and do something bad and then they would pick that it's very obvious that there were like five things on the list and that it was somebody's job to sit there and when it goes Bing they know I've they know I've gone and they quickly go to their list they go o Adams five things marriage to know I'll pick number three it was very obvious like cuz nobody else was doing it except the first comment of everyone that was a political post and if I posted something that was just you know interesting or fun nope don't show up so these were not political actors and and I could tell they were not political in 2016 I have to admit I couldn't tell I just thought there were terrible people on the internet because there are terrible people everywhere I thought whoa some of these are more terrible than others but one but once I understood that um was it from I guess that's was that the name of the guy who organized the trolls for the 2016 cycle so we knew actually after the fact after 2016 election we knew who hired the trolls we we knew the budget it was exactly what it looked like what I couldn't tell then is whether some of the people were just organically bad and some of the people were paid but I couldn't tell which are paid and which are organic but this last cycle the paid ones were just so obvious so every time they did it I would just respond paid Troll and how many times did you see me do that because it was almost every day payrol payrol and it was always the first comment anyway I'm glad they're gone it's really different on X now um Heather Mc.

Donald was doing some writing recently and I forget what publication but um talking about how men and women generally uh differ and how they prioritize safety and inclusion versus accepting conflict um and goes to point out that there may be a uh maybe some evolutionary reason where men handle conflict different differently from women and the observation is this I've made the same observation which is that men can uh fight and go at each other like crazy but if they find a reason to agree and work together they can almost instantly get over it like the past just goes away and we shake hands and we apologize and we accept apologies and we say oh well that was an ugly moment we had there together glad that's gone and now we're friends or now we're allies or co-workers whatever we need to be so the thought was that men uh knew that their best survival mechanism was to not turn every enemy into either dead or you stay an enemy but sometimes just get them on your side and then you have an extra person on your side so having an extra man on your side is going to keep you alive so the thinking is that we're just evolved the men are easier to say all right I'm over it let's let's move on and that uh women would be less likely to get over it and sort of keep it as a permanent source of at least mental conflict so in other words when men hear a provocative speech um they might enjoy the debate enjoy the fight and also be able to get over it instantly whereas women if they go online and they see a debate they might also be drawn into the debate but they're not enjoying it and they're not getting over it so it's a whole different whole different approach so um so the the point of this is that uh there might be a male warrior hypothesis that might be hardwired biologically that that fits with my observation so my observation is that men can get over disagreements pretty easily all right um the LA Times owner uh was doing an interview with X CNN star Oliver Darcy I didn't know Oliver Darcy got fired from CNN or did he quit he he was terrible on CNN but he's went on his own now so the LA times as you know has a some rich owner who uh didn't want to endorse KL Harris he wanted to try to find some Middle Ground where he thought newspapers should be so he got a lot of push back from that and apparently one of the new things he's doing is he wants to change up his LA Times editorial board and he's hired Scott Jennings so Scott Jennings the you know viral Superstar on CNN the the Trump sporting guy who embarrasses the other clowns at the table on a daily basis it was selected to be part of the LA Times editorial board so good job Scott Jennings again another Scott doing well but uh apparently the billionaire owner of the LA Times ended the call because uh Darcy just kept um giving him a hard time about hiring uh Scott Jennings and uh apparently Darcy ended up going full TDS and uh and the the owner of the newspaper and his Handler whoever it was was like H we're done here B basically they just dismissed him as not even a a serious character which was the right thing to do now I should tell you that the LA Times when Dilbert was in newspapers before I got cancelled uh the LA Times was the only one that was cancelling Dilbert or or editing it censoring it actually uh LA Times was the only newspaper that routinely censored Dilbert back in the days when Dilbert ran in every newspaper the LA Times would just sometimes just not run one and it got so it was just like laughably predictable I do a comic that was just a little bit edgy but still rated G because you can't really get past G in a newspaper is still rated G and and the LA Times would say oh can't say that every other newspaper would say yes so um I I'm very up on the this new owner um it looks like he's trying to do a serious job of improving the newspaper and they certainly needed it well I read I think it was in the hill they had a story about the Democrat bench for 2028 I'll tell you when you look at what what the smart people think are their best next um politicians for running for president it doesn't look like they have a chance so here are the names that are floating as their best candidates kamla Harris seriously literally the worst campaign of all time and she's running first uh Gavin Nome seriously Gavin Nome he's like right at the top of your list after destroying California Gretchen Whitmer Josh Shapiro Pete Buddha judge and JB priter do you think any one of those could be a capable Republican and can name I don't know probably 10 Republicans who could be any one of these people am I wrong about that am I wrong that there are at least there have to be at least 10 prominent Republicans that could be everyone on this list these are not these are not competitive I don't think Democrats have any understanding of what would even make their side competitive and the the entertainment which I'm getting in watching them not understand anything they don't understand anything it's really amazing and uh I'm looking at some of your comments those are weird fedman you know what I I don't think the Democrats would push fentam fedman to the front of the line he may be a little bit of a problem because he doesn't obey the Democrats enough but if fedin wanted to take a run at it he would be the one I'd worry about I don't want to give advice to the Democrats but if I heard that fedman was running for president in the next cycle I would say that's a problem yeah now AOC has been mentioned I don't that doesn't seem serious to me I can't imagine she would even win the primary but fedman fedman could really fool everybody because he he does have he has the common touch and he doesn't seem to be willing to lie when everybody else is and I hate to say that's a really attractive combination you know he is smart I mean it was hard to tell when he had his his stroke but he's he's an unusually smart person and he clearly cares about the country and clearly cares about people and he clearly is smarter than the average Democrat and he sees that there are some things that Republicans see that he says that makes sense you can perfectly understand why the the Dem why the Republicans would feel this way so he's the only one who seems to have anything close to an understanding of what's happening I think fedman knows exactly what's wrong that the Democrats act like woke idiots the Republicans act like acted like problem solvers and we were not in a place where acting like a woke idiot was a luxury we could afford it it was once at one point it was a luxury we could afford not anymore now you just need the solution to the problems so it wasn't it was never to me it never seemed like they were a close competition even though the vote was closer than I thought it should be what if RFK goes back to the Democrat Party I don't think I don't think RFK uh Jor has a chance in a um a race like that I he's got he's got so many points of attack that I I think he's serious about having one Mission left like he has his One mission fix the food and uh I have high hopes that he will I see you got a copy of loser think I don't know how you got it it's no longer for a sale um it was one of my cancelled books so you must have got a you must have one of the used used copies but maybe at some point I'll reissue that um Democrats do not allow an independent thinker yeah true that all right so I'll tell you again if you don't have your Dilbert calendar ordered just go to dilbert.com and that's the only place you'll find the link to order it you will not find that link anywhere else it's not on Amazon it's not on bookstores not in Walmart uh but the books are my books make excellent gifts they change lives yeah the the the first two reframe your brain and had to failed almost everything those are total life Chang ders I I hear it every day and I guarantee it by the way um if I weren't hearing it every single day I wouldn't say that but every day I hear people say oh changed my whole life so it's a good gift if you want to change somebody's life hey you got a lot of calendars there if a well AOC is married and if she had children would she be a better politician um maybe uh loop speak the the media will pump up the chosen yeah but I don't know if the I don't know if the media has the ability to drag a bad candidate over the Finish Line anymore they did with Biden but it looked like they couldn't with Harris maybe she was just extra bad but it does seem that the rise of the podcasters is a real thing it's going to last for a while all right ladies and gentlemen um that's all I got for today um I'm going to talk to the locals people privately in a moment and uh I'll see the rest of you tomorrow thanks for joining on You.

Tube and x and uh Rumble we'll see you tomorrow same Time same place locals I'm coming at you 30 seconds 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 e e e e e e e e e

morning it looks like the stock market

is off to a nice little

run Tesla's

up all right not too bad even rumbles up

today I think we're uh going to have the

best show

ever might not be obvious why but it's

because everything's

awesome and you're going to have a good

time just wait you just wait

all right almost

ready good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams and

darn it you've never had a better time

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 for that is a cuper Mugger

glass tager CH Stein a canteen Jugger

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine h of

the day thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens now

go Delicious By the way if you're

listening later on Spotify where this

gets it's uploaded after I'm done I I

hear the commercials are insanely

loud compared to the content I don't

think that happens any on the other

platforms so you could always listen on

a different

platform um because the studio I'm using

only sends one audio signal to all the

all the different

platforms so oh it doesn't send it to

Spotify though does

it I guess ify is adding the commercials

on the platform so I'm not sure how to

fix that but I'll look into it well you

would not be surprised according to s

poost that whole coffee Cherry extract

supplement might improve working memory

now you might say to me what is a coffee

cherry and how do you take the Cherry

from the coffee and the answer is a

cherry is the the coating to the uh to

the Coffee Bean I guess and normally

when you drink coffee they remove that

part but the part they remove is

awesome it's awesome so apparently if

you were to eat the part that remove

you'd have good working memory now I

don't take a chance so what I do is I

grow a Coffee Tree in my

backyard and then every morning I just

go out and I lick the bark you know the

leaves and I definitely eat all the

cherries so that's what what I do uh

this would be a good time to remind you

not to take any

medical advice from me not

once by the way if you notice behind

me where you can almost read it there

are the one two three four five best

things you could buy as a

gift I I I actually promise you that if

you know somebody who likes reading

books at least one of these books is

going to work for everybody you can hit

every every every person if it's

somebody who doesn't know anything about

me and doesn't know anything about

Dilbert you want to go for the reframe

your brain that just works for everybody

and had failed almost everything and

still went big those are guaranteed to

make them happy if they're political and

they like stuff like how to learn

persuasion win bigle is the book and if

they're philosophical and they like to

think about the nature of reality itself

then God's debris the complete works

would be the way to go and if they are

Dilbert um fans but they don't care

about the politics or the persuasion

then get the 2025 Dilbert calendar now

the important thing is that the calendar

is only available at a link you can find

at dilbert.com the books are on Amazon

so if you want the book just search

Amazon they'll all pop

up but the calendar I would get that

right away because I can't guarantee

that if you get it a week before

Christmas it's going to show up right so

I wouldn't wait on the calendar we're

making those as we as we get orders so

so sooner is better

anyway um scientists according to no

Ridge have made magic polymers that can

pull water from the thin air with less

energy so there's all kinds of um all

kinds of scientific breakthroughs in

creating water out of the air but it all

takes

energy and this one takes way less

energy so it's not it's not going to you

know power your city but it might help

you in an

emergency well there's the first asthma

treatment breakthrough in half a century

according to Kent live news it's a game

changer they say some kind of

vaccination they say will substantially

decrease your asthma attacks well I

don't know might take a couple years

before that works its way through the

system we'll see I'm I'm a skeptical of

everything um there is a Prebiotic

supplement of some something called

inulin and of course frul gasa

sakade pretty sure I pronounced that

exactly right and it boosts brain

function in old people h huh but here's

the interesting part what it does is it

changes your gut

chemistry and here's an actual sentence

from the article see if this sounds

familiar to

you uh quote evidence for the close

relationship between the gut and the

brain is growing year after year now

watch this part see if this sounds like

me some experts are now so convinced by

the results they refer to the gut as the

body's second

brain what do I tell you almost every

day almost every day I tell you that

your body is your brain there's no such

thing is the brain in its own little

closed off area and then your body is

your body no your body is your brain it

if you don't have all that chemistry

right in your body your brain isn't

working period so your your brain and

your body are one

tool all right uh reportedly Elon Musk

is going to use his AI called X Ai and

do a little Standalone app so right now

it only exists in in X as grock but

they're going to make their own

Standalone as far as I can tell it seems

way behind chap

GPT because Gro so far doesn't have

images is and it doesn't have ability to

talk to it you there's a lot it doesn't

do I don't know if it's going to catch

up I keep I keep seeing stories that say

that Elon musk's version is going to

catch up to Chad

GPT but it doesn't look like it's

happening so I mean it could happen

quickly if they you know make some big

change I suppose but I don't know

meanwhile the oceans cooled the planet

more than we thought but also according

to no

Ridge um so turns out that the ocean

gives off some kind of sulfur gas and

that hadn't been totally understood and

that sulfur gas cools the climate more

than previously thought so what they're

doing is they're going back to all their

climate models and now they're using

this new knowledge about the sulfur

that's coming out of the ocean and how

it cools things to modify their

models now here's an interesting

question why do they need to modify the

models I've been told quite reliably

that 98% of all scientists say the

models are telling us enough of what we

need to know I mean nothing's perfect

but they're telling us enough of what we

need to know that we can put trillions

and trillions of dollars into it

so why do we need to fix the

models uh I thought you told me the

model models already

worked cuz you asked me for trillions of

dollars

so why do I have a new story every

single day about a new variable that

they didn't know about that's very large

and so they're incorporating it into the

models any of you who have lived in the

real world as long as I have you know

what that means right if you have a

model that's telling you the truth and

then you keep changing the model by by

adding variables almost every week and

the variables are kind of big and no

matter what you do you still get the

same

answer if if you're 25 you think that

means that climate change is real and

they've got a real good bead on

it when you're 65 the fact that they

change it every week tells you that they

don't know what they're

doing it's a it's a real big difference

in experience

am I right th those of you who are older

and have experience when you see that

they're adding a new variable to their

complicated models and they're adding it

every week and they're big they're big

variables that tells you it's

there's no other explanation

there there literally is no other

explanation but if you're young you just

think oh the models were good before and

they're getting

better no that's not what's happening

all right uh meanwhile according to

Daily Caller news

Foundation the America's most expensive

uh Dei program is about to go away so

apparently the University of Michigan

had this uh they've they've spent $250

million on Dei since

2016 and students and faculty have

reported

deteriorating campus climate

um racism is worse they have exactly the

same percentage of black

enrollment and they got absolutely

nothing out of it except people feeling

bad about each

other so that's what they got for $250

million hey does anybody know how they

could have saved $250

million is there anything they could

have done anybody they could have asked

hey we just need your advice should we

spend $250 million on

this well they should have asked Scott

because I would have told

them you know if you divide people into

groups and say that one of those groups

is the oppressor and one group is the

victim uh what's going to happen

huh what's going to happen use my giant

brain to predict into the future you

divide people into groups and you make

won the oppressor and won the victim how

does that turn

out oh you wasted your $250 million

that's a quarter of a

billion do you think that uh University

could have done anything useful with a

quarter of a billion dollars like

teaching classes better and paying

teachers more stuff like that well

anyway the uh University is talking

about Shak handing the whole thing

because the program created quote a

culture of grievance huh who could have

seen that coming a culture of

grievance maybe they should have asked

me well you can see that it's all

happening now if the biggest I think the

biggest employer isn't is Walmart the

biggest employer outside the government

so the government is the biggest

employer they're going to get rid of Dei

under Trump

uh if you count the military they're

going to get rid of Dei Walmart I don't

know if they're the biggest company at

least employment wise but they're

getting they got rid of Dei and now the

largest in the University World in terms

of spending and how much attention they

gave it looks like they're talking about

just getting rid of it

entirely everything's going my

way all right meanwhile according to the

hill America's opinion of the Republican

party is on the rise and America's

opinion of the Democrats is on the

decline why well I don't know but in the

poll 45% Americans said they feel

favorable toward the Republicans now

still under 50% so it's not the best in

the world but 45% how is that compared

to how they people feel about Democrats

oh

not so well so uh GOP went

um uh who said they felt unfavorable oh

so both the GOP went down a little bit

but it's still bigger than the Democrats

so Democrats are 39% had a good good

feeling about their

party and uh more Republicans like their

party that makes sense I mean nobody's

surprised by that right

Joe Rogan made a little news again as

he's as he does you know I'll tell you

the thing about Joe

Rogan that is the least

appreciated is the mistakes he doesn't

make so you know how the dog not barking

is the one you don't

notice the the mistakes that could

easily be made that Joe Rogan doesn't

make it's kind of

impressive I I'm more and more of the

opinion that Joe Rogan is just one of

the smartest people we've ever seen in

the public sphere but part of what makes

him smart is he doesn't act smart like

he doesn't you know rub it in your face

or you know wear a you know wear a robe

or

something he he just lives his life but

if you sort of follow him for years as I

have and many of you have where are all

the dumb things have you noticed there's

no dumb things like everybody who talks

that much to that many people they're

going to have some dumb stuff in their

catalog

right that the dumbest thing that Joe

Rogan has done has turned out to be

right you know like taking Ivon and

stuff like that so even the things he

was criticized for the

most well kind of turned out right but

here's another one apparently

zalinski uh wanted to come on Joe

Rogan's podcast

and according to Rogan he said zalinsky

tried to come on yeah they tried to get

zalinsky on he says I was like what are

you talking about and he does sort of a

weird voice because he's just joking

what are you talking about so that was

exactly the right

response no don't put zilinski on Joe

Rogan show so Rogan quite correctly

realized this was a prop aganda run and

nothing good could come from it now

remember he he wanted to talk to both

the presidential candidates so if it was

American Business and it was you know

political he was all in he had you know

Bernie Sanders on but zalinski is not

like the others he's just pure

propaganda so Rog is like

no again if he if he had never told you

that

story that

zalinski pitched it and he said no I

mean think about how big the ratings

would have been it's not like he was

unaware that the ratings would have been

you know Monumental of course they would

have been and he's still and he still

said

no that was the right answer I I think

he I think he got the right answer

there uh let's talk about Putin so

Putin's psychology game is uh

I I was going to say second to none but

it might be second to Trump one of the

reasons that I think those two Bond a

little bit you know as adversaries but

they bond is that they're both so good

at the

psychology just listen to what Putin

says and I'm not going to try to

convince you that Putin means every word

he says and it's all completely honest

right we don't have to have that

conversation right we we don't need any

NPCs stor me in saying oh you're Putin's

puppet how could you believe what Putin

said no nothing like that's going to

happen I'm going to tell you what Putin

said I'm going to tell you what effect I

think it had but I'm not going to tell

you that Putin's the smartest person in

the world and everything he says is true

and we should do what he says right so

NPCs calm down calm down you can handle

this

right so here are some of the things

Putin said I guess he was at some event

made some news he said that Trump is

intelligent and he will find a solution

to the Ukraine war so interesting Trump

gets criticized for calling Putin smart

and capable and his critics say what how

can you compliment that monster don't

you know he's your enemy stop saying

good things about him but there's the

enemy allegedly Putin and he's doing the

same thing he's returning the compliment

that's a pretty big compliment you know

if if Putin says that you're intelligent

and you're going to find a solution to

the war like almost matter of factly

whereas the current president did not

find a solution to the war and it

doesn't look like there was any chance

that was ever going to

happen you you can see that Putin's

trying to get on the good side of trump

now do you think Putin has a

Intel that if he Praises Trump and makes

him his ego feel good that he might get

a better

deal of course he does because literally

every person in America says Trump just

listens to the last person in the room

and whoever kisses his ass the most now

do you think anybody really knows

that no do you do you know why Trump

listens to the last person in the

room does anybody know

why CU at some point you have to be

done you you have to be done make a

decision at some point it's sort of like

you you find the lost thing in the last

place you look because the last place

you look is where you found it so

there's no place to look after you've

found it so when the last PE person

leaves the

room that's when he realizes that he's

made a decision because now he's heard

both sides but now he's heard the side

he likes he wants to hear that one more

time that's the one you want to hear

before you make your decision the one

that you were leaning toward just to

make sure it still sounds good so yes it

should be completely

normal that in general you're going to

agree with the last person out of the

room it's probably pretty normal doesn't

mean every time but bet a lot of times

it's just the most normal way that

anything

Works however let's see

sorry

um he Putin said he was ready for peace

talks with Ukraine without

preconditions but on the same terms he

laid out over the summer which are

preconditions so Putin says he wants to

have a talk without preconditions as

long as we're taking all the

preconditions into consideration the

preconditions would be Ukraine decides

not to be part of

NATO and that um basically Putin keeps

the four areas that he already conquered

and he already owns basically so that

sounds like exactly the deal we all know

is going to

happen so that's interesting Putin also

said that he thinks Trump's life is in

danger was in danger and is now and uh

even the cab members at risk you know

that Tom Holman and at least someone

else who was a cabinet pick got some

death threats over the

weekend so things are looking dangerous

and Putin is

warning um that uh that there's a

genuine threat to

Trump uh so here's what I want to know

do you think that Putin's intelligence

in other words his Intel departments do

you think that they know enough about

the American

government that they know that the

Democrats are planning or somebody is

planning to try to kill

Trump because there's no way we would

know whether he is just saying that for

a fact or if he actually has

information because he wouldn't want to

give away that he has information

because that would give away his sources

and methods

right so the thing I wonder

is does Putin know more than we do about

the threat now here again I compliment

Putin for his psychology game without

being a supporter of him because he's a

terrible terrible murderer of

people

um it's it's really smart for him to

talk about the risk to to Trump because

if nothing happens to Trump then he's

sort of a good guy who you know showed

some empathy for Trump and warned him

and if something does happen to

Trump he's the guy who warned

him so warning Trump about the danger is

just a smart play like it it's good no

matter what happens it's good for Putin

it's not good for

us and uh s Putin went and he legalized

crypto in Russia and he slash taxes on

mining mining from crypto I guess I

think that's what that means

um and he uh trading income will be

taxed at 133% and blah blah blah more if

it's more so basically uh he's big on

crypto what do you think of that well

you know Trump is pro crypto compared to

any prior

president

and I've heard some people say that

crypto is the only way the US ends up

financially okay and what I mean by that

is that if you own some

crypto let's say Bitcoin specifically um

its odds of going up in value the smart

people say it's almost guaranteed now

the the counterargument would be there's

something that we find out that we

didn't know about and that's a pretty

big risk for example finding out that

there's some way to hack or steal your

crypto wallet that nobody could have

seen coming and no way to fix it now I

haven't seen that but you could sort of

imagine that something that's a

technology where there might be some

vulnerability that you haven't uh seen

yet but if that doesn't happen that

alleged hypothetical vulnerability that

nobody's quite seen yet um in all the

all of the uh all of the signals say

that crypto will just keep going up

basically

forever so if you had for example a

bunch of cash Investments and you add a

little bit of

crypto your situation should be that

your your cash will uh inflate away to

zero and your crypto will make up all

the

difference so if you had I don't know

what the percentages would be because

nobody knows what the future is but I'll

just give you numbers to like kind of

tell the story but don't get caught up

on the percentages okay so if for

example 80% of your wealth was in

cash-like things you know like stocks

and bonds and cash that could actually

go to

zero it could over time I mean not

tomorrow but it could go to zero over

time just because of inflation so not

actually zero but it but it could become

so little that you know you wish you

didn't Own It crypto could make up all

of that difference so if you had 20%

crypto and 80% regular cash you might

find that the one going up is about

matching the one going

down but I'm not smart enough or wise

enough to say that 20% crypto is a smart

number it's not what I have I have less

so I'm not giving you any advice on

crypto this is not not Financial advice

but if you're trying to figure out how

in the world does the United States

survive crippling debt that just can't

be paid back basically it can't be paid

back let's be honest we're not going to

pay back any $ 35 trillion do 36

nobody's getting paid back we're getting

inflated

away and people will wish they didn't

own it basically so it could be that the

only way out is

crypto if the government owns some as

well as all the citizens then we could

pay our taxes and Etc so then if you

take that cont context and then you look

at Putin legalizing crypto and trying to

get ahead of crypto could it be that TR

that Putin knows because he's a pretty

smart

player that uh Russia also has to have

crypto or else they're doomed or maybe

he needs to own crypto to have some kind

of Leverage over the West so when I see

Putin going hard at crypto it makes me

think that he might be thinking a few

moves ahead of us so having Trump in

office surrounded by smart people who

are pro

crypto it feels good I I'm glad that the

Trump Administration not Trump

specifically he he's no crypto expert

but he's certainly surrounded by people

who are going to advise him well on that

I

think meanwhile France has announced

that

Netanyahu uh is entitled to immunity

from the international criminal court

because they're not a party to the

court now why did it take me until today

to realize

that so the inter international criminal

court uh has a bunch of countries ass

signed up but it does not include the

United States and it does not include

Israel for I guess suppose obvious

reason

cuz they would be basically we'd be the

only ones taken to court and but but

France is saying we're not going to

arrest somebody who never signed that

treaty to which I say oh why why did it

never occur to me

that that you wouldn't arrest somebody

who wasn't part of the treaty so they

couldn't have broken

it makes sense now obviously that was

just a workaround because France doesn't

want to be enemies with

Israel but

it's it's just funny that I didn't see

that obvious play that you can't arrest

somebody who didn't sign up for

it it's worth a

shot uh Eric

Weinstein agrees with me on

physics the difference between us is

that he's uh

deeply uh let's say deeply invested and

educated and experienced in the domain

of physics and has his own uh well

educated smart thoughts about string

theory and his well educated thoughts uh

match my own thoughts for the past 20

years for at least 20 years I've been

saying you know this String Theory

thing it sure has every signal for being

now obviously I have no Science

Background whatsoever but everything

that I kept hearing about

it every time I heard something about it

I thought you know

I don't think that even looks real just

doesn't even look real and Eric

Weinstein says that uh that string

theory has sort of been the dominant

thing people were trying to look at for

the you know The Theory of Everything to

tie everything together and then because

it was so dominant as a as a promising

direction that it blocked any real

breakthroughs for 40

years and that uh at least is a

confident or optimistic I'll say he's

optimistic that after 40 Years of not

getting the job done the physicist might

be willing to look past it now and if

they look past it suddenly the the

possibility of major major

breakthroughs might be better

now this is sort of one of those hunch

kind of ideas because you don't know

what the future looks like so you know

you know you don't know that there's

something out there that's better than

string theory and that we have access to

it and it'll make a difference we don't

know that but to me it's uh it's a warm

feeling to know that somebody who is as

deep into this topic uh as Eric is has

exactly the same opinion I did as just

somebody who can spot pretty

easily the the only thing I

claim is not that I know what is

true but I can often spot what isn't so

that's my only my only comment on string

theory is like I don't know every time I

read a story about

this it's not that I think the science

is wrong it's that everything about this

just smells wrong just just everything

about it so I agree with Eric I think

that's the way it's going to go but it's

a hunch on my part not based on any

knowledge well as you know Trump is

planning to do this largest uh

deportation ever but axios reports and I

was waiting for this to happen I I kind

of suspect that that sooner or later the

news would start telling you the

following

thing you're not going to get many

illegal

people so I and Holman and Trump and

everybody smart said the same thing they

said we're obviously going to focus all

of our resources in getting rid of the

criminals and and we don't know how long

that's going to take and there's so many

of them but it turns out if you put all

your resources on it yeah you might get

a few there just aren't many and axos

had a story here I won't go through the

details you can read it yourself in

axios but um for example there are a

whole bunch of people who are felons who

have been convicted of horrible things

like homicide and sexual assault but you

can't Deport any of them until they

finish their jail sentences

so you got 29,000 people who are the mo

the most hardened worst criminals and we

have them in custody and they're not

going to get

deported because they're already in jail

and jail is the place I guess the law

says they got to be and then there are a

few other examples like

that where there are people who are sort

of here legally

Etc um

so it's

possible that Holman won't be able to

find Big Bus loads of people to send

anywhere so maybe what you're worried

about were where you're seeing the

military round up giant groups of people

and keep them in detention centers until

the military transport could get there

and take them back it's a terrible

visual that you don't want to live in

the country where you're seeing your

military carrying anybody away like for

anything it's just a terrible look I'm

I'm Pro Deport ation for the criminals

especially uh but it's a it's a bad look

so I don't think we're going to have

that look I I think there might be like

an anecdotal here or there you know

there might be a Bus full of people or a

Detention Center that's there

temporarily but my current feeling is if

we stop the new immigrants you know the

new illegal immigrants if we stop that

pretty well and I think Trump will do

that that the gigantic migration

immigration even if we try as hard as we

can it's just hard and I think it'll be

half Buss and it just won't be that much

of a visual problem that's my guess so

my prediction is you'll see a few

anecdotal reports so there will be some

reports of too much deportation but

they'll be so limited and so just you

know temporary that it's not really

going to change the public view of

things too much that's what I

think there is also the claim that uh

immigrants do less crime than

Americans and that's offered as the

argument that you should not

Deport so does that argument work with

you that the average immigrant let let's

let's do two takes on this all right so

here what we're going to do is just work

through the thinking so we're we're only

talking about how to how to think about

it should you say hey let's have more

immigration because on average they

lower our average crime rate does that

make

sense let's lower our average by having

more immigration because apparently the

more immigrants you have the lower your

crime rate is because they have a lower

crime

rate do you buy that let's say it's true

just for a moment let's say they do have

a crime

rate there are also 29,000 felons who

are convicted of homicide or sexual

assault that's 29,000 people who would

be

alive if we didn't have illegal

immigration 29,000 people would be alive

or not

raped doesn't that feel like a lot I

mean I know it's a big country and and

the 29,000 would be over multiple years

but doesn't your government and your

citizens do not your citizens have the

right to say I don't care that they have

a better

rate I want them to kill zero

people if somebody comes into your house

and Slaughters your

family and the police say whoa turns out

that the odds of somebody coming in your

house and slaughtering your family are

way low so stop worrying about it you'll

be like but but they slaughtered my

family I know but as a percentage of all

the crime is very low but but my

family's

dead I think you need to be a little

less racist about this yes they did get

slaughtered by an you know by somebody

but as a percentage it was very unlikely

so if you could just get over

it yeah

so I think that both things can be

true um the I did look a little bit at

some of the

studies and I would say that uh there is

some good evidence that uh the recent

immigrants are lower at

crime now what they said was I know what

you're going to say don't say it I know

what one of you is going to say because

there's always at least one somebody

here is going to say Scott the american

crime rate is not like one average you

know are they are they doing more or

less crime than black Americans more or

less than white Americans more or less

than um

asian-americans well I saw one study

that said that they had they do less

crime than white

Americans do you you know they left

out as they always do

asian-americans do do you know how often

these stories just act like there's no

they're no

asian-americans all right now let's ask

the question again I'm an Asian-American

and you tell me that I'm bringing in

immigrants but don't worry they're their

crime rate is less than the white

people and as an Asian-American I say

what it's less than the white people is

it less than

asian-americans no no it's more than

asian-americans but it's less than the

white

people how do you feel about that so

you're going to increase the rate of

crime in my community yeah but it's

still less than the white

people I I'm just amused that the

asian-americans do such a good job of

staying in a jail and making money and

staying married and basically doing

everything right just

continuously and then get left out of

the

conversation because they do everything

right anyway good job asian-americans

um but here was one of the uh hypotheses

about why the immigrants are less likely

to be involved in

crime and here comes the kill shot are

you ready for

this this is not going to make you

happy I'm going to give you a reason and

now this is just one person's

speculation but it sounded so good I'm

I'm going to embrace it as my

own there is a reason that recent

immigrants are more likely or less

likely to do a

crime you're not going to like

it here's a reason that recent

immigrants are less likely to do crime

you ready for it because they're more

likely to be employed Married with

Children and in good

health oh

no

no

no

no no

no no is that

true is it true recent immigrants are

more likely to be employed Married with

Children and in good

health because those things are very

predictive that you're not going to do a

crime I think these are true you know

anecdotally anecdotally it's true every

time I think of something in my own life

who came was born in another

country they're

married they're

employed they have

children and they go to church damn

it damn it they're

Republicans let me say it the fast way

yes the reason that recent immigrants do

not commit as many crimes is because

they're Republicans they don't know the

Republicans they just act like it

get a job get married have kids go to

church

Republicans so so if I said to you

immigrants tend to be Republicans with

all that comes with it getting jobs and

getting married and staying in a jail

that's easy that's easy to accept isn't

it if I tell you that immigrants don't

have a high crime rate your first your

first reaction is W it's not the rate

I'm looking at I'm looking at 29,000

people in jail for murder and

rape but if I told

you uh we brought in a million people

who are basically

Republicans and I say whoa whoa whoa a

million people what about all the crime

and then I say yes there's definitely

crime because any group of people would

have extra crime but there essentially

the same rate of crime as

Republicans and then what do I do

what do I do

then because let's say I'm a Republican

and I like Republicans and I and I agree

that they don't do a lot of

crime anyway so as I often say if

somebody tells you the raw number of

something and doesn't tell you the

percentage they are a propagandist

that's brainwashing and they're not

trying to tell you something useful

likewise if they tell you the percentage

but not the raw number they are

propagandists they're trying to to

brainwash you they're not trying to have

an honest conversation you need to look

at both every time or you don't know

anything and I think it can be 100% true

that on average we're bringing in a

pretty high high class of people at

least in terms of cultural compatibility

with America at the same time we're

bringing in a whole bunch of criminals

they can both be true we we simply have

to do a better job of everything that

we're already doing and and I think

everybody agrees with

that

meanwhile um Tom

Holan who's going to be the head of the

Border stuff um he was challenged by I

guess a Denver Mayor Mike Johnston

because Mike Johnston said he's not

going to let um the citizens of his City

who are maybe undocumented he's not

going to let them be rounded up taken to

jail and that people like him will be

putting their bodies in the way

basically protesting in a physical way

and uh he doesn't he doesn't care if he

has to go to jail for it he's willing to

go to jail to defy Trump's deportation

operation so somebody asked Tom Holman

about the fact that the Denver mayor is

willing to go to jail to stop

deportation and Tom Holan without

cracking his smile says

and I

paraphrase well at least we found

something we agree on he's willing to go

to jail and I'm willing to put him in

jail and May I drop my

mic there mic

drop yes Tom

Holman that was kind of perfect

communication right

there yeah Tom Holman is good in general

he's a good

communicator uh but but every now and

then he'll he'll hit like a you know

just a base clearing home run that's a

base clearing home run yep we agree

you're willing to go to jail I'm willing

to put you there what's

next nicely done communication wise I'm

talking

about

um I saw a video of tulsey Gabbert and I

didn't remember she did this but when

she was talking about why she was

leaving the Democrat Party and she

mentioned there were War mongers which

didn't make sense for her and that they

were too woke but also she said directly

that they were anti-white racist the

Democrat Party I don't remember her

saying that

directly but I'd like to thank her

because that's both honest and

true so yes the Democrats are an

anti-white racist party I see them as

racists

primarily anyway So speaking of uh

verbally being verbally good there's

this representative of Van

Orton who was being challenged by a CNN

guy uh CNN host was asking about Trump's

tariffs and that Trump's tariffs would

increase food

prices so how would you answer that

because everybody's worried about the

price of eggs and whatnot so food prices

are you could argue our number one you

know really Main Street kind of a issue

and uh Trump's talking about tariffs and

tariffs would increase prices everybody

understands that and here's what rep

representative van Orton said quote I'm

willing to pay more for guacamole if it

means fenel poison doesn't come across

our

border oh

wow oh wow now that's some good

communicating now is it sort of accurate

No well no no I mean it's not it's not

guacamole to fentanyl if it were only

guacamole to fenel we would all eat

fewer

fewer avocados and we wouldn't notice

because we just eat other stuff but G

the bigger problem is at all food price

or or enough of the food goes up in

price that it hits

everybody so it's certainly not as easy

as avoiding

avocados however when representative van

Orton puts it in that term it is so

linguistically excellent in terms of an

argument so this is just a persuasion

lesson I'm not talking about the policy

just about the persuasion and the

communication so nice job so I'm gonna

this uh this raises my flag so I've

never heard of Representative van Orton

before uh but he he said a second thing

he said uh about fenel he said everyone

is now one degree of separation from

somebody who died from a fenel

death I think that's close to true that

pretty much everybody knows somebody I

mean in my case my stepson but you all

know me so every one of you who knows me

knows you're one one degree away um and

most of you know somebody else who is

one degree away now both of those

sentences are really

strong you know I of all the things you

could have said about this

topic U Van Orton reached into the

middle and picked out two of the

best that probably is not a

coincidence so what I'd ask you just

keep an eye on this

guy because this is unusually good

communication and when you see that it's

usually a a leading indicator you're

going to see more of this person so um

keep an eye on him

Rob Briner has allegedly deleted his

account on

X uh after Trump won breit bar news is

reporting this and

uh we think he's probably going over to

Blue

Sky um I think he's is that confirmed I

don't know but blue sky is the new

competitor decks uh Jack dorsy new uh

product and it's apparently the uptick

is pretty good it's getting a lot of

people but

I just want to point out something that

somebody pointed out in the comments to

me

earlier you can be on

a or you can be on Blue Sky what would

be the initials for Blue

Sky if you're going to use an acronym

Blue Sky well I would use the B I

probably use the S from sky that would

be

oh it's literally

BS all right but here's the thing I

think is

funny um if if Blue Sky had started in a

let's say an organic way where it was

just a product and everybody had a

chance to use it if they liked it they

use it some more they would probably

have a normal mix of you know left and

right political people because everybody

would have seen as just the product so

it's not political it's just a product

but because were highly politicized

especially at the moment people see blue

sky as where the good and Noble

Democrats can go and they see X as that

polluted right-wing conspiracy place so

presumably Blue Sky now has the greatest

number of people with mental health

issues of any platform

ever and I mean that seriously I would

bet you any amount of money

really that if you just looked at the

percentage of users of you know any

other platform Facebook

X anything else anything else Rumble

that you would find that blue sky

probably has just through the

roof therapy and uh you know on Mental

Health meds and every kind of anxiety

and depression and let's just say that

they wouldn't know their whole body is

also

brain have you noticed how many people

on the left who seem to have defective

brains and by defective I mean either

they're not very bright which is that's

a problem that's on the left and the

right of course there's always some

people are not bright but the ones who

seem

crazy have you noticed that their bodies

also look uh

deformed have you noticed you have

noticed haven't you yeah you look at

their bodies and then you listen to them

you go wow the things that are coming

out of their brains sound just

crazy it's not their brain their body is

their brain all right if your if your

body is destroyed as many of the people

on the left have destroyed their bodies

you're going to get just crazy stuff

coming out of your mouth and that would

be a very typical

predictable scientifically compatible

prediction that you could feel pretty

confident about that if that if you have

one group where their bodies are a mess

and one group on the right especially

young men who are very interested in

keeping their physical fitness going you

should have one group that's happy and

one group that's sad and I think because

of the weird situation of everything

being politicized that the people with

the the worst

brains not necessarily born the worst

but because their body is their brain if

they didn't take care of it it's just

not working very well and they all ended

up in blue sky

so I'd be real curious if if I'm right

that if you went to Blue Sky it would

look like a a mental illness

festival and it wouldn't have if it had

just been a non-political time when it

was

launched so we'll see but at the same

time that Rob Brer left all of my PID

trolls are gone I don't know if you were

watching the fund but for the past year

or so uh they're very obviously paid and

the way you know they're paid is that

they they show up like it's time for

work so if I would do a post that made a

any good point against Democrats or for

Trump the first comment 100% of the time

the first one would be a troll and the

way you can know they're a troll is that

they they have a maybe four or five

messages that they repeat that are not

the ones anybody else ever says it's

obvious that at some point in time

somebody made a list of all the things

you say to

Scott so you say to him oh Scott your

your opinion of politics is as good as

your taking care of your stepson who

died of

fenel that was one of them very common

oh I guess that's why you're divorced

which would have nothing to do with

politics or anything I said so um and oh

that and I guess that's why you're

cancelled so they would go for what they

thought was the most

psychologically destructive thing they

could say um completely

divorced from whatever point I tried to

make so in other words they weren't

saying oh have you checked the source

they were not saying your facts are

wrong they were not saying uh have you

considered this they were not saying

here's the fact check they were saying

what can I say that will make this guy

not want to spend another second on X

and want to you know get a high-powered

rifle and do something bad and then they

would pick that it's very obvious that

there were like five things on the list

and that it was somebody's job to sit

there and when it goes Bing they know

I've they know I've gone and they

quickly go to their list they go o Adams

five things marriage to know I'll pick

number three it was very obvious like

cuz nobody else was doing it except the

first comment of everyone that was a

political post and if I posted something

that was just you know interesting or

fun nope don't show

up so these were not political actors

and and I could tell they were not

political in 2016 I have to admit I

couldn't

tell I just thought there were terrible

people on the internet because there are

terrible people everywhere I thought

whoa some of these are more terrible

than others but one but once I

understood that um was it

from I guess that's was that the name of

the guy who organized the trolls for the

2016 cycle so we knew actually after the

fact after 2016 election we knew who

hired the

trolls we we knew the budget it was

exactly what it looked like

what I couldn't tell then is whether

some of the people were just organically

bad and some of the people were paid but

I couldn't tell which are paid and which

are organic but this last cycle the paid

ones were just so

obvious so every time they did it I

would just respond paid

Troll and how many times did you see me

do that because it was almost every day

payrol payrol and it was always the

first comment

anyway I'm glad they're gone it's really

different on X

[Music]

now

um Heather McDonald was doing some

writing recently and I forget what

publication but um talking about how men

and women generally uh differ and how

they prioritize safety and inclusion

versus accepting

conflict

um and goes to point out that there may

be a uh maybe some evolutionary reason

where men handle conflict different

differently from women and the

observation is this I've made the same

observation which is that men can uh

fight and go at each other like

crazy but if they find a reason to agree

and work together they can almost

instantly get over it like the past just

goes away and we shake hands and we

apologize and we accept apologies and we

say oh well that was an ugly moment we

had there together glad that's gone and

now we're friends or now we're allies or

co-workers whatever we need to be so the

thought was that

men uh knew that their best survival

mechanism was to not turn every enemy

into either dead or you stay an enemy

but sometimes just get them on your side

and then you have an extra person on

your side

so having an extra man on your side is

going to keep you alive so the thinking

is that we're just

evolved the men are easier to say all

right I'm over it let's let's move on

and that uh women would be less likely

to get over it and sort of keep it as a

permanent source of at least mental

conflict so in other words when men hear

a provocative

speech um they might enjoy the debate

enjoy the fight and also be able to get

over it

instantly whereas women if they go

online and they see a

debate they might also be drawn into the

debate but they're not enjoying

it and they're not getting over it so

it's a whole different whole different

approach so

um so the the point of this is that uh

there might be a male warrior hypothesis

that might be hardwired biologically

that that fits with my

observation so my observation is that

men can get over disagreements pretty

easily all

right um the LA Times

owner uh was doing an interview with X

CNN star Oliver Darcy I didn't know

Oliver Darcy got fired from CNN or did

he quit

he he was terrible on CNN but he's went

on his own now so the LA times as you

know has a some rich owner who uh didn't

want to endorse KL Harris he wanted to

try to find some Middle Ground where he

thought newspapers should be so he got a

lot of push back from that and

apparently one of the new things he's

doing is he wants to change up his LA

Times editorial board and he's hired

Scott

Jennings so Scott Jennings the you know

viral Superstar on CNN the the Trump

sporting guy who embarrasses the other

clowns at the table on a daily basis it

was selected to be part of the LA Times

editorial board

so good job Scott Jennings again another

Scott doing

well but uh apparently the billionaire

owner of the LA Times ended the call

because uh Darcy just kept um giving him

a hard time about hiring uh Scott

Jennings and uh apparently Darcy ended

up going full TDS and uh and the the

owner of the newspaper and his Handler

whoever it was was like H we're done

here B basically they just dismissed him

as not even a a serious character which

was the right thing to do now I should

tell you that the LA Times when Dilbert

was in newspapers before I got cancelled

uh the LA Times was the only one that

was cancelling Dilbert or or editing it

censoring it actually uh LA Times was

the only newspaper that routinely

censored

Dilbert back in the days when Dilbert

ran in every

newspaper the LA Times would just

sometimes just not run one and it got so

it was just like laughably predictable I

do a comic that was just a little bit

edgy but still rated G because you can't

really get past G in a newspaper is

still rated G and and the LA Times would

say oh can't say that every other

newspaper would say yes so um I I'm very

up on the this new owner um it looks

like he's trying to do a serious job of

improving the newspaper and they

certainly needed

it well I read I think it was in the

hill they had a story about the Democrat

bench for 2028

I'll tell you when you look at what what

the smart people think are their best

next um politicians for running for

president it doesn't look like they have

a chance so here are the names that are

floating as their best

candidates kamla

Harris

seriously literally the worst campaign

of all time and she's running

first uh Gavin

Nome

seriously Gavin

Nome he's like right at the top of your

list after destroying California

Gretchen

Whitmer Josh

Shapiro Pete Buddha judge and JB

priter do you think any one of those

could be a capable Republican and can

name I don't know probably 10

Republicans who could be any one of

these people am I wrong about that am I

wrong that there are at least there have

to be at least 10 prominent Republicans

that could be everyone on this list

these are not these are not

competitive I don't think Democrats have

any understanding of what would even

make their side competitive and the the

entertainment which I'm getting in

watching them not understand anything

they don't understand

anything it's really

amazing

and

uh I'm looking at some of your comments

those are

weird fedman you know what I I don't

think the Democrats would push fentam

fedman to the front of the line he may

be a little bit of a problem because he

doesn't obey the Democrats enough but if

fedin wanted to take a run at it he

would be the one I'd worry about I don't

want to give advice to the Democrats but

if I heard that fedman was running for

president in the next

cycle I would say that's a

problem yeah now AOC has been mentioned

I don't that doesn't seem serious to me

I can't imagine she would even win the

primary but

fedman fedman could really fool

everybody

because he he does have he has the

common touch and he doesn't seem to be

willing to

lie when everybody else

is and I hate to say that's a really

attractive

combination you know he is smart I mean

it was hard to tell when he had his his

stroke but he's he's an unusually smart

person and he clearly cares about the

country and clearly cares about people

and he clearly is smarter than the

average Democrat and he sees that there

are some things that Republicans see

that he says that makes sense you can

perfectly understand why the the Dem why

the Republicans would feel this way so

he's the only one who seems to

have anything close to an understanding

of what's

happening I think fedman knows exactly

what's wrong that the Democrats act like

woke

idiots the Republicans act like acted

like problem solvers and we were not in

a place where acting like a woke idiot

was a luxury we could afford it it was

once at one point it was a luxury we

could afford not

anymore now you just need the solution

to the problems so it wasn't it was

never to me it never seemed like they

were a close competition even though the

vote was closer than I thought it should

be what if RFK goes back to the Democrat

Party I don't think I don't think RFK uh

Jor has a chance in a um a race like

that I he's got he's got so many points

of

attack that I I think he's serious about

having one Mission left like he has his

One mission fix the

food and uh I have high hopes that he

will I see you got a copy of loser think

I don't know how you got it it's no

longer for a sale um it was one of my

cancelled books so you must have got a

you must have one of the used used

copies but maybe at some point I'll

reissue

that

um Democrats do not allow an independent

thinker yeah true that

all right so I'll tell you again if you

don't have your Dilbert calendar ordered

just go to dilbert.com and that's the

only place you'll find the link to order

it you will not find that link anywhere

else it's not on Amazon it's not on

bookstores not in

Walmart uh but the books are my books

make excellent gifts they change lives

yeah the the the first two reframe your

brain and had to failed almost

everything those are total life Chang

ders I I hear it every day and I

guarantee it by the way um if I weren't

hearing it every single day I wouldn't

say that but every day I hear people say

oh changed my whole

life so it's a good gift if you want to

change somebody's

life hey you got a lot of calendars

there if a well AOC is married and if

she had children would she be a better

politician

um

maybe uh loop

speak the the media will pump up the

chosen yeah but I don't know if the I

don't know if the media has the ability

to drag a bad candidate over the Finish

Line anymore they did with Biden but it

looked like they couldn't with Harris

maybe she was just extra bad but it does

seem that the rise of the podcasters is

a real thing it's going to last for a

while all

right ladies and

gentlemen um that's all I got for today
