Episode 2681 CWSA 12/06/24

stocks are up look at that almost across the board everything's looking good well that's a good way to start the weekend if it uh if it works out that way let's see if it closes if it closes on a high we'll be happy all right we're almost ready here for the show of shows the thing that will make you so happy are you ready for this good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take it up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mugar glass a tanker cheler Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your fav liid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here of the day the thing that makes everything better with a little oxytocin today a little bit it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah extraordinary the best ever probably well this might surprise you but did you know according to uh Psychology today this Smelling Coffee can increase your attention in memory that's right they did a little study where they they just gave people the smell of coffee and it gave them some of the the mental benefits of actually drinking coffee and then they made this mistake they called it the placebo effect no that's not the placebo effect um that's hypnosis now I'm just sort of uh recreationally playing with this but the placebo effect as I understand it is if they give you a fake medication and you don't know it's fake but because you expect it might work there's something about your expectation that makes it work um whereas I think what's happening with the coffee test is that because real coffee gives you real mental benefits that being triggered by the smell of coffee makes you remember and Associate those mental benefits and and puts you back into that state that would be closer to hypnosis so hypnosis is where you pair two things so that the quality of one thing kind of slops over into the other the reason that beer companies used to do commercials with attractive you know young people was people would like looking at the young people and especially the women and they'd feel good and then when they saw that brand a beer they' transfer some of that good feeling into the beer so uh I feel like the reason that the people Smelling Coffee performed better is because it triggered their past memory not because it uh influenced their expectations of what would work that's what I think anyway um here's some backward science according to the University of College University College of London uh did you know that adults who frequently post on social media uh are more at risk of developing mental health problems so apparently it doesn't hurt you so much to um consume social media that's not highly corelated with mental problems but if you post a lot and you also consume it it's highly correlated with mental problems so did this study show that the more you post the more likely you'll have a mental problem no I think it's backward science backwards science let me explain what I mean if you've ever had incredibly good sex with somebody you were in a long-term relationship with and you were in love with and you remember how good that felt while you were doing it when you were right in the middle of it did you ever feel a like a pressing need to post something on social media or were you perfectly happy doing what you were doing at the moment I'm going to say you were happy you're happy so could it be that rather than posting on social media gives you mental problems could it be that if you're not happy with your life you're looking for something outside of your life to give you a little thrill I've got a feeling that being unhappy is what makes you post I don't think that the posting is so much what makes you unhappy but I think both are true I think I think it's true both ways but I think it's more about unhappy people are looking for something to fill the need and if you were already happy you probably wouldn't do a lot of posting except maybe family pictures or something um according to the hill the Pentagon has finally admitted they don't know what's up with UFOs so uh apparently in the past there have been a lot of denying and OB obfuscating there's a word I read a lot but I don't say out loud a lot obfuscating hey Bob you've been Aus skating I never I never say that word I only read it um so apparently during some briefing with the reporters this new director of the uh I guess there's a pentagon Department to look for these anomalous flying things and uh said said and said quote this is klasi that's the director there are interesting cases that I with my physics and Engineering background and time in the intelligence Community I do not understand and I don't know anybody else who understands them either all right um I'm still at no for UFOs being aliens from other planets I think I'm still at no for any kind of you know early human beings who are hidden below the ocean Who come out every now and then with their high-tech to to look at the UN civilized people probably not probably not not impossible I mean I I like thinking about those things being possible recreationally but no I don't think so I think that when somebody says you know I can't explain it with my physics and Engineering background that all it means is I can't explain it with my engineering and physics background so the only thing we know for sure is that we don't know anything that's pretty far from saying aliens have visited the planet I don't know why I'm seeing what I see that's all you know you don't know anything else you only know that you don't know so I don't know think that got us closer to admitting there's some kind of uh other kind of Life Force here maybe well according to the independent there's this new scientific breakthrough in China where they made camouflage material that uh will instantly change color to match your background sort of like animals do chameleons so if you wear these clothes you will just sort of disappear into the background now since you don't wear clothes on your on your face um I'm kind of looking forward to this cuz wouldn't you love being like a floating head what when you love to walk into a room and people go ah oh damn it are you wearing those camouflage camouflage closing clothing again and I would say yes I'm Aus skating what I am no I wouldn't say that because I don't say AIS skating but uh I feel like the opportunity to look like a floating head is irresistible so I see big potential for this technology floating head also good for the office if your boss is coming by if you just sort of Tuck into a ball like if you have a hat or or face mask just cover up yeah um meanwhile here here's a story that is so good that I can't believe it's true according to EV Central mercedesbenz has developed a paint a paint for the car that would be enough to charge your car for almost all normal business in other words Mercedes Benz allegedly has developed a paint that would be as robust as the paint on your car is now so it wouldn't be a bad kind of paint either but that it can actually create enough electricity the paint itself is designed to be like a solar panel but just paint and it's so efficient that that you could drive you know like 50 miles a day or something basically your commute without ever buying fuel now do you believe that doesn't that sound a little bit too good that your cars would basically never need fuel all you have to do is paint it with this kind of paint I don't know it's not going to happen right away they're saying 5 to 10 years but I'm going to say I'm going to say probably not if I had to place a bet I would place a bet that you will not be able to completely power your car for normal business because of the paint it sounds good but I don't know that's the sort of thing that never really happens in other news the University of Canterbury said they they they fed kids these little micronutrients and it reduced their irritability anger and aggression and supposedly had a big difference in their improving their emotional and Regulatory systems do you know how they could have saved a little bit of money on that yeah they could have just asked me uh I've told this story before but it's one of my favorites of understanding human behavior when um I was in my first marri marriage and I had there were two step kids and they were they were young very young and they would often get in arguments with each other because they were close in age and they'd be fighting it out you know verbally fighting it out and uh and I would say ah we're going to have to do something you know what are we going to do and my ex-wife would say oh they're just hungry and I would think what do you mean they're just hungry the their their behavior you know is is like aggressive and they're they're yelling at each other that's not hunger there there's something else going on it can't be just hunger and then she would put down a plate of food like what lunch or whatever whatever the meal was and and their moods would completely change they would sit down and take two bites and they'd be in a good mood and I'd be like is this really happening did did you just cure somebody's like entire mental situation with a hot dog yes yes all they had to do was eat and and they were fine and I watched I watched that experiment repeated a number of times yeah food it it makes people relaxed but it's more to my point that your body is your brain so if you don't take care of your body you are not taking care of your mental health got to take care of your body first all right somebody says I post a lot you know I do this for a living right it's different it's different if you're doing it every day anyway um the house Intel panel according to the New York Post uh is thinking that it's increasingly likely increasingly likely that the mysterious Havana syndrome actually comes from some foreign actor in other words uh the stories of the EM mostly Embassy people American embassy people having some kind of brain disruption that they thought was maybe some kind of a secret Sonic Russian weapon and then then people looked into it and they couldn't find any evidence there was a weapon but now there there is further further investigation and according to uh subcommittee chairman Rick Crawford of Arkansas quote I have discovered that there is reliable evidence to suggest that some anomalous health so they have a name for it now anomalous Health incidents the a ahis are the work of foreign adversaries now I I like representative Rick Crawford um he's one of the good guys um but I don't think I quite believe that there's evidence of adversaries I think the only thing there is is evidence that people have complained they have certain kind of jobs and that when investigated they have real damage but the symptoms are all over the place and when I see too many symptoms I immediately think it's not a weapon it's some psychological effect now the the damage could be real but the the psychology might be what's causing people to go have it looked at and I I I suspect that this is a perceptual situation but I could be wrong so if I'm wrong on this one if somebody someday you know a whistleblower says yeah here's the weapon I did it myself watch I'll do it on this animal we'll test it you know I could imagine someday I could be convinced this was real but I would I would place a really large bet that it isn't at this point I will say that if you if you attended a subcommittee in which people gave you lots of evidence which is like oh this person had this problem and doctors says this problem it's the documentary effect so if you have a bunch of people coming in saying it sure looks like a weapon to me and nobody comes in to say here's the evidence that it's not a weapon it's going to feel like you really had a lot of evidence that an adversary did it so I would be I would say Beware of the documentary effect if you have a subcommittee that's taking testimony that all kind of leads in One Direction all right uh meta according to Breitbart News meta is going a big on nuclear energy to to fuel their AI so he's going to what's he going to do so I guess all the big companies figure they got to have some kind of connection to the nuclear power industry this is just the best thing it it turns out that the most important part of AI was to force countries like America to take nuclear power seriously for the first time I feel like that might be the enduring Legacy like the most important part of AI is not even the AI that that it got us to completely revamp our whole understanding of our energy situation because as many people have pointed out um if you're making a lot of money from energy or you're doing your energy stuff right your country does well you win Wars your economy does well it it's all kind of comes from energy can you think of any country that produces a lot of energy and isn't better off for it I mean energy is kind of the whole game these days so I think I think this is the biggest thing that's happening actually well according to ex-user Terra I saw this story which is a funny name first name is Tera last name is bull but I think she does it humorously like Terra bull I don't know I don't think it's a real name it' be funny if it were anyway uh so Elon Musk company the boring company they they've got these big boring machines that make tunnels easily they got approved to do uh tunnels in Vegas so they'll connect the Vegas Airport to the downtown and I got to tell you I don't know if I could go into one of those tunnels to me that's scary as hell I mean it was hard enough to convince myself to use Bart you know the the mass transit in the Bay Area that goes under the bay it's kind of it's kind of scary to be under the Bay now in reality you're probably safer there than above ground right because if you get deep enough down even the earthquakes don't bother you you know basically you're immune from just about everything on the surface so you're probably safer in one of these tunnels than you are anywhere else on Earth but man the psychology of it I don't know how long I can stay in a little tunnel that's feels like it's only about the size of the car I don't know you'd have to give me some kind of tranquilizer according to shyam Sankar on X uh there are more data centers in the US than in all other countries combined did you know that and and it's not even close if you look at all the data centers in the US it's like this gigantic bar and all the other countries are the just those little dots how in the world can other countries ever compete with us in that scenario because it seems like um ability to quickly build gig data centers is what's going to drive Ai and that's what's going to drive Rob Robotics and that's what's going to drive basically everything in the future so if we have like a I know looks like a 50 to1 advantage or something over the next best country that's doing data centers that feels like really big so we'll see if that makes a difference however um I want to be careful about this next Point uh I do not give Financial inv investment advice now having told you I do not give Financial investment advice I'm going to say something that sounds a whole lot like Financial investment advice but it's an observation uh trust me you don't want to invest based on what I say honestly you don't want to because I'm mostly guessing and when it comes to individual companies that's a bigger guess than most things so here's here's my feeling personally I I sold my Nvidia stock which had already gone up quite a bit now the reason I got rid of it is not because I think it's necessarily going to go to zero tomorrow but because I think it's so vulnerable to disruption because the cost of building one of these Nvidia driven data centers is just you know billions of dollars and it just seemed to me this somebody's going to figure out a way to do that way more cheaply like somebody's going to find a way to compress AI into some more efficient form and then the entire business model you know might be destroyed so AI has this weird quality where on one hand it's the future and it's everything so if you invest in the biggest company that's doing the most important thing for the most dynamic thing you're probably in good shape right which is why I bought Nvidia stock in the first place is that it was almost like a well not almost it was a monopoly so one of the best pieces of investment advice I ever got was from somebody famous who I'm not going to tell you uh it's somebody who's in the news quite a bit actually but once told me privately that he only invested in monopolies it's just that they don't look like it like Facebook is sort of a monopoly you know Uber is close to being in a monopoly at least for a while um so I thought inidia looked like one of those it's it's why I also used to have stock in in apple which by the way if You' taken my advice and sold it when I did you would have lost a lot of money because it kept going up but both apple and um AI have the weird quality that things could change quickly and I don't like to be an investment where something could change completely like on a dime for example um you think the i.

Phone is unbeatable and then next thing you know Elon Musk says that starlink will be able to provide phone service now that's just the background phone service not the device but how far away are we from AI becoming the interface for a generic phone that somebody like Elon Musk could manufacture and just replace the entire smartphone industry with some kind of AI phone that works on satellites I feel like that could happen kind of kind of quickly so there's a um some new news on the large language models apparently somebody did in fact come up with a new algorithm dubbed calibration aware low Precision decomposition okay doesn't matter what it's called but uh somebody found a way to massively um change the size of the Computing and and reduce the increase the efficiency to the point where it's sort of knocking on the door of making Nvidia I won't say obsolete but you wouldn't need as much of it and while I don't think you could bet on any one breakthrough I'm not saying this will change nvidia's fate I just feel like the whole AI thing is just begging for some kind of massive disruption or somebody says instead of this10 billion data center watch I put it on your phone that's basically what these guys did it's a little less good than if it ran through the data center and it uses too much electricity on your phone so it drain your phone but if those are the only problems the only problems it's a little less efficient and it uses a little more electricity than your phone to me that sounds kind of danger ous to the people who sell billion dooll data centers but uh again I don't think this breakthrough is going to change everything but I feel like there's going to be some massive massive AI related technological breakthrough that makes the data centers less less important that's my prediction um the FBI says that if you text between an i.

Phone and Android it's not secure meaning that it's not encrypted and so they they're saying maybe you should use uh Whats.

App and signal I'm here to tell you again as a public service if you send a message in any way to another human being you don't have a secure anything it doesn't matter if it was Secure when it went across the network it ended up with a Human Being Human Beings can't be trusted are you kidding me no there's no such thing as secure message you know trust me on this if there's one thing you can you can be sure of you can't trust the person on the other side of the message you know it's that that's a guarantee so no just treat everything like it's public and you'll be better off surprisingly the jobs report was revised to make it better in September H usually that close to the election I would have thought it would go the other way but um revised up the number of jobs that were created and unemployment at 4.2 which is you know a little high but it's not crazy high so that's looking pretty good all right we got to talk about this United healthc Care CEO stuff um on one hand I usually don't like to talk about individual um crimes so I usually don't talk about the murder or the you know the the one migrant who did some Terrible Things No matter how bad they are because they seem anecdotal and you get too hypnotized by the anecdote and then you think it means something larger than it does sometimes it does but you could be fooled by that so but this uh healthc care CEO murder really is touching a lot of a lot of third rail no what would I say touching a lot of trigger because people have so many issues with healthare and with insurance especially so here are some things that are reported number one that these shell Cas casings had somehow um carved into them what do you call it when you carve something at the metal uh what's the name for that anyway uh etched in sort of etched in and that it said something about uh um delay to deny and defend which is the name of a book which is about how uh healthcare insurance companies deny claims to make money and so the thinking is oh this was a sort of a political statement something about the company and the way it did business but I don't think it's confirmed that those shell casings have that have any engraved thank you engraved is the word I was looking for um I don't think that's confirmed as it I I feel like there was one source that said it and then it got repeated I'm going to wait on that one if I had to bet I would place a small bet that the shell casings don't have that on them and that that's just fake news does anybody have the same feeling I wouldn't place a big bet on it but i' place a you know I'd bet a $100 you know if somebody wanted to bet me I bet $100 that there's nothing on the shell casings because it's exactly yeah it's it's to on the nose but it's possible now if there is something on the shell casing does that mean that it was a political event no because the one thing we know about the shooter is there was a lot of preparation if there was a lot of preparation it also opens up the possibility that part of his escape plan was to make you think it was done for a different reason so if he had done it for personal reasons and he wanted to make you look for you know people who had political reasons so you know the uh the attention would be diverted well maybe that would be exactly how You' do it maybe you'd put something on a shell casing so they think ah we got him now it's political but I feel like if it were political you wouldn't you wouldn't do it that way would you wouldn't you just you know type out a message and drop it there or something it it doesn't doesn't feel right to me the other thing I learned from this is that you can't trust gun experts did you have the same experience I did which is oh finally here's a gun expert who's who's going to explain what we just saw and I go okay oh got it got gun expert and then the very next gun expert says the opposite and then the very next gun expert like a third story I feel like some of the gun experts are probably right but I can't tell which ones because I'm not a gun expert so I feel like the gun experts are just one more example of you can't believe experts about anything but I'll tell you the things that sound more believable than others uh here's what I observed I believe that he was experienced at using that weapon because he kind of quickly cleared it or reloaded it or recck it or whatever he had to do he he seemed to know that whatever the problem was was immediately fixable so that would suggest that he's he had he had experience with the weapon I would disagree with anyone who says he's a professional Hitman who has ever done this kind of work before because uh as one of the gun experts said uh if you're going to if your job is just to be a professional Hitman you would walk up to him you'd put one bullet in his head and then you'd drop the weapon I don't know if that's still make sense in today's today's ability to find D DNA on anything but you know you probably would have done a a head shot and then you would have left right away maybe left the weapon there um if it if it was untraceable and you didn't have any fingerprints on it but um to me he didn't look like a professional he looked like somebody who was prepared but not a professional one of the shots apparently hit hit the CEO in the calf and I I just don't see that being a professional job like I I don't know how that happens um some people saying that the the reason the gun appeared jammed or had to be you know a reset was that the there was some kind of crappy silencer on it and uh he didn't he didn't didn't calculate that if he put a silencer on it the gun doesn't reset itself after every shot and they had to do it manually blah blah blah I don't know it looks like just somebody who did a lot of homework and did a little practice but then there's a a photo allegedly of the shooter with his mask down where he was allegedly flirting with somebody at some hostel and he had had this big smile on his face and he and he looked kind of young and handsome and he looked like a particular movie star that I'm not going to mention and I thought to myself I don't know he he just doesn't he didn't look like an angry person who was out to avenge you know maybe a family member who had a bad experience with insurance he just sort of looked like he was having a good time uh there there's something wrong about all of it I don't know what it is so some are saying it's not the same person and I think that's possible that it's not the same person um although it look like the same person yes and as the people in the comments have told me the 22 caliber we think it was a 22 caliber um some of them are subsonic which would give him some problems with the uh with the instrument of if that's what the problem was so I don't know we'll we'll wait on that did you know he was separated from his wife for a long time so my first impression was her reaction didn't sound like a spouse like there wasn't enough it wasn't enough anguish or something but they've been separated for a while so you know maybe they weren't on ideal terms that doesn't make her a suspect obviously but it would explain why she was a little bit a little little less emotional than you would expect if they were living in the same house for the last several years anyway um there's a new poll by JL partners that says that Biden will be the worst president in modern history yeah I guess there were only nine presidents that were ranked but uh he was ranked last now can I take a Victory lap I'm pretty sure I've been saying he will be he will be the worst president in history now I'm not the only one right so you can all take a Victory lap to but I've been saying this for a while I mean I think probably a year in I was saying he'll be noted as the worst president we've ever had here we are so good prediction um according to uh some kind of new study the government only 6% of federal workers show up in person on a full-time basis according to a senate report 6% of federal workers work in the office the rest work at home now I think so they have requirements that they might come in once a month or something in some cases but basically work at home and Elon Musk corrected it where that where they thought only 6% came to work so Elon M musk decided uh that wasn't accurate enough so he posts this if you exclude security guards and maintenance Personnel the number the number is closer to 1% 1% I think we have a lot of extra buildings it feels like well according to rasmuson poll um 55% of us voters think that Trump has mandate because he won convincingly um and of course that means that most the most Republicans say he has a mandate and interestingly 32% um no yes something like 35% of of Democrats agree the has a mandate that's a lot actually now here's what I think trying to put together the clues so Trump likes dancing to YMCA which some have said is like a gay anthem and um now I think the YMCA people they say it's not a gay anthem but to the rest of the world it looks like a gay anthem and then now we find out that Trump has a mandate let's see he has a gay theme music and he has a manate I think Trump's gay no I'm just kidding I'm just kidding he's not all right um there's a report Sky News is reporting that Elon must spent more than a quarter billion dollar getting Trump elected it's funny a quarter billion dollars sounds like a lot of money doesn't it until you realize that Twitter was 44 billion so for 44 billion he he basically saved free speech and whatever we have left of a democratic process for a quarter of a billion he may have pushed you know Trump over the finish line and gave us a chance of getting rid of you know some of the worst situations we've ever been in so I'll tell you Elon Musk um he spends a lot of money but he sure spends it in good ways that's like the best quarter billion ever spent all right um David Sachs has been uh picked as the White House Ai and cryptos are according to Trump so here's the first part that's fascinating that there would be aarre over these two things that you think are unrelated Ai and crypto but they're not because you know it just seems that those two worlds are going to come together in a variety of ways but I love the fact that uh that they combined them it just it just feels kind of smart because if somebody's going to be you know your Zar and Advising you probably someone who's Smart in both of these domains is is a pretty good way to go so if you've watched the all-in Pod or you've been paying attention to politics you know that David Sachs is the probably one of the smartest Observers of American politics and uh one of the smartest people in the investment world and having him on the most critical new technologies god it feels good have any of you had this feeling with a number of the appointments and a number of things that Trump's doing that it just feels like something special is happening like you know everything from Bezos kind of saying well you know let's give this give this a chance and um you know Jamie Diamond saying similar things like hey let's let's give this a chance um but David Sachs I mean the the fact that there are people who have you know built really successful lives and don't need any of this trouble are willing to take on the biggest hardest tasks in the world to save the country and it's no less than saving the country by the way cuz we're we're on a doom loop at the moment and I couldn't be happier that the smartest most capable and I think the the least nefarious people we've ever seen in public life because I don't think for a second that you know somebody like sax or Elon Musk is trying to figure out how to make money off of this I mean they're really taking on hard hard jobs and I could not be more proud to be an American at the moment because th this is what this is what America looks like to me the the people who have the most capability you know doing their own thing until they're called upon and then dropping everything and going full on to to help the country so this just feels so right but there more a few other things Rana you might know him as a Dem Democrat representative who more often than most Democrats says things that are common sense and and that's almost why he's famous as a as a politician is that he'll sometimes say things that you say oh well that's just common sense yeah so he's he's now publicly said that he's he's ready to work and help the Doge effort and uh musk thanked him on x so Rana again Common Sense guy says you know this could work how about if I help this is amazing this is just not what happens you're you're seeing all the smart people go to the same team and and you're seeing that they're treating it not like politics have you noticed that that the political frame for all this just seems to have dissolved because you're taking people used to be Democrats in many cases and you know active Democrats in some cases but they're working with Trump this is amazing I've never seen anything like this in in my lifetime of observing America this is the most optimistic I've ever felt is just everything everything you'd want to be going in the right direction is here's another one um fedman senator fedman goes on uh uh let's see who she was talking to uh Joy bear and said that uh that the hunter Biden situation was lawfare and so he's he approves of the pardon but then he went on in great detail to say that Trump's felony convictions were obviously lawfare and probably should be should be pardoned and and and poor you know bayar has to listen to that and I think she didn't comment on it but here again here's a now prominent Democrat who is saying something about the hunter case and the Trump case that I consider common sense to me it's common sense that both of those had a political dimension on it and so therefore you know maybe maybe you should be treated that way so yeah fedman is just saying this is not political is just common sense you want to you don't want to have lawfare yes yes thank you um I think even Elon said he's liking Federman more every day I say the same um but only when he's talking Common Sense which he likes to do so I appreciate it meanwhile let's see the opposite of Common Sense let's see Joy Reed on MSNBC she compared uh the state of Tennessee who didn't want to give gender altering care to minors uh compared it to Nazi Germany so if you don't give miners surgery that will change them for the rest of their life even if they change their minds when they're older you're like Nazi Germany now I say this every day but it's true the best laugh I have every morning is just watching actual MSNBC coverage with no commentary just a clip and I and I just laugh like I people actually watch that that's pretty funny all right here's a sketchy one um apparently according to the George account on X a coalition of black churches that uh represent as many as 28 million black Americans uh issued a letter to MSNBC um demanding that they fire Al Sharp and investigate the payments because you know the story El Sharpton received half a million dollars from KL Harris's campaign before he interviewed her and didn't disclose that which is big no no so so there's do you believe that a coalition of black churches on their own decided to send the letter to MSNBC suggesting that um a prominent black commentator L Sharpton should be investigated or fired do you believe that um here's what they say Sharpton does not have a degree in journalism and it undermines the career of black men and women who have more experience than journalism Integrity well does anybody really care that he doesn't have a degree in journalism or correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the media world full of people who didn't have a degree in journalism doing journalism I thought it was the most common thing um Bob Woodward the Watergate guy Bob Woodward wasn't did he have a degree in journalism I don't know I don't think so but anyway here's what I think I think this story is too on the nose doesn't sound organic and uh sounds like maybe some people people at a black church are receiving some money from somebody who's got a republican bias to me this doesn't sound real it doesn't sound like it's organic it's real but it's not organic I don't think that they sat around and said you know what this L Sharpton guy is bad for black Americans we better weigh in on this important issue because we've already you know solved all the problems with people's souls and getting to heaven and all that we got that taken care of but what we really need to take care of is that MSNBC has somebody who's not experienced as a journalist really do you believe that that's an organic thing that they just came up with no I I would place a large bet that that's not organic all right um so Jordan ne's father is going to sue Daniel peny no matter what happens in the criminal trial wow that's right Jordan ne's father so the guy who got well who died when Daniel Penny uh was restraining him or he died after the restraint actually um so that Daniel Penny even if he gets off and I guess it's the third day or so of deliberation so sounds like a hung jury to me even if he gets off on the legal part he will still be sued and probably lose because the standard for that is different you just have to get a majority and probably in New York it's probably not hard to just get a majority who just thinks he shouldn't have done it the the it's better I just don't comment on this one isn't it let let me do this I'm going to send you my opinion um through ESP I'm sending it I believe you're picking it up yes yes I'm getting a confirmation yes you have you have all accurately identified my opinion good I guess we can move on well you heard that story that Mexico sees like a a ton of fenel the biggest Hall ever and so people are saying oh it's the Trump effect so now Mexico is going to get tough on the cartels so what's what's missing with the story what's missing with this story so Mexico seized a ton of fenel and they you know it's enough to kill a billion people or whatever what's missing with the story let's see how well I've trained you because this is something I talk about all the time there's something wrong with the news story they found a ton of fenel what's missing what percentage is that how many times have I had to say this story is leaving out the important part different stories sometimes they leave out the percentage sometimes they leave out the raw number anytime somebody leaves out either the percentage or the raw number it's propaganda so I don't know is is a ton of fentanyl a lot it's a lot if you look at the raw number which is the only thing they gave us but was that 90% of all the fentanyl coming into the America because that would be impressive was it 1% of all that's coming into America cuz that would be nothing is it a lot but it's so easy to make it that by the end of the day they'd already reproduce that amount of supply and sent it out if you don't know those you don't even know if this is anything you actually can't even tell if this is good news or just sort of news you don't know this probably made no difference at all in the supply in you know after two weeks because they could probably just I bet they could reproduce this in 2 weeks probably no difference at all but it could be a political response to Trump so it it might actually be because of trump but I wouldn't be confused that anything has happened with fenel there will be no difference in fentel deaths because of because of this all right Obama is speaking at some event and uh correct me if I'm wrong but has Obama become the person who just makes everything worse I think Obama came to believe his own publicity which is to say that since um he would be considered a you know successful president especially by democrats two terms you know got overwhelmingly reelected so historically if you were a historian you'd say very successful but do you think that he believes he was successful because he was smart or does he not know that maybe it was his Charisma and there was just something about his personality and and the time in history where people said yeah let's I want a black president you I said that I I remember you know when he first ran I thought you know I'm obviously I'm anti- Dei like crazy you you couldn't be more anti- Dei than I am but at the same time I live in the real world and if we could get past that you know can a can a black man be president and the answer is yes that just feels healthy because that then we don't have to prove it again because we could say oh okay that's a good it's just a good symbol for everybody and you know it's a good sign for everything so I was in favor of it but I don't think that Obama realizes that maybe he never had any good ideas it was always about him because now when he talks he he's doubling down on this identity stuff so I saw a clip where he's talking about all of his identities he goes you know we all have multiple identities I'm 63-year-old African-American man husband father Christian writer um as others pointed out he didn't mention that he's half white that was not part of his identity but it's his identity so he gets to be whatever whatever he identifies about I guess but doesn't that sound to you like he doesn't understand anything that's happening in politics at the moment like why would he even be talking about all of his identities that that was what lost everything the the identity messaging is what made the entire Democrat Party completely destroyed because once Trump created a alternative which was common sense when you compare common sense to Identity politics those are not close and and of course the public picked Common Sense over identity at this time so I really think he maybe is fooled by thinking that he was a brilliant president he's a smart guy but I don't think any of his presidential success was because of his Brilliance I think it was him as a personality he was a special personality he's very good at it so certainly as a politician he's he's one of the best all right David hog who you know as a anti-gun activist he's one of the survivors of the Parkland shooting right um he is uh apparently noodling with the idea of running trying to run the Democrat party so he might want to run the DNC because he thinks he can fix the problem of what he thinks is the party's main problem of talking down to voters now first of all has he accurately identified the problem with the Democrats do they talk down to their voters well yes yes they do yep yeah it's a bunch of Elites talking to each other so yes David hog has correctly identified that they have became an irrelevant party talking to themselves basically um and and and he said this this is what hog said quote I think the main one overall the main problem with the Democrats is that we would rather live in a comfortable delusion than an uncomfortable reality wow is he escaping from The Matrix I I feel like he's got one foot out because if he realizes that the Democrats are living in a comfortable illusion and that the Republicans are maybe in more of an uncomfortable reality what does uncomfortable reality sound like to you common sense right they're not the same but if you allow yourself to live in the uncomfortable reality then you can apply your common sense to the reality and get a better result if you're living in a comfortable delusion your common sense won't help you at all because you don't there's nothing to apply it to because you're living in an illusion to me this is like kind of a seriously important Insight coming from somebody who was right in the middle of the the Democrat world I I'm very optimistic about that now he of course is pro Democrat and would like to help them be competitive but I feel like he's he's just one layer away from agreeing that doge is a good idea and that maybe we should be in fewer Wars you know like almost Republican now he's never going to be okay with the the gun part of being a Republican and that's fine you know I don't mind that the country has different views as long as they have some kind of Common Sense and you know there's a philosophical you know good good uh let's say good intention behind it so he has good intentions clearly a smart um organized guy went to Harvard I think smart guy but uh I love hearing this he says the party needs to open its eyes and take its fingers out of its ears basically yeah that that is actually exactly correct so I think you're seeing the smartest people in the Democrat Party the the Federman the ranas and maybe maybe maybe David hog you know he might surprise you he's never going to be Republic but wouldn't it be good to have Democrats who if they got elected could apply some common sense here's a story that um might tell you something about the future did you know that there are 11 media Outlets that are local I guess they're local newspapers that are owned by one entity that doesn't even try to be news they're just a Democrat activist organization so so it's not just fake news it's actually their business model they're not even trying to be real news their purpose I believe it's stated is to influence politics through local news and apparently a lot of their funding is coming from the Soros uh organization $15 million in 2023 which is way up from prior years and here's how this scheme works so as you know you're probably thinking but Scott nobody reads local newspapers how in the world does that make any difference at all here's what they do they the um local news Publications would advertise their own publication which is legal of course and of course they would show an example of some of their work so they would buy Facebook ads and then Show an example of one of their article and this would be an advertisement for their their platform except that they would only show you know anti-trump pro-democrat examples so when you thought you were looking at an advertisement for just local news you were being brainwashed by looking at some negative story about de about a republican so this is pretty clever that they they take a sort of an unwatched usess media entity the local news I don't even know anybody who reads a local newspaper do you know anybody who's ever read a local newspaper in the last year I I I think we have one you know dilbur used to be in the local newspaper but I haven't even seen one or held it in my hand in 10 years so yeah that's pretty clever trick to use the fake advertisement as really just a political brain washing meanwhile over in Syria uh Joel Pollock is reporting for Breitbart that uh the IDF um is sort of staying out of the fight in Syria so you might know that the there are some Rebels that are trying to take over the government of Syria and the rebels seem to be include some extremists so the rebels include people America likes but also people that want to destroy America and Israel the same situation some of the people trying to destroy the Syrian government which Israel doesn't love are also people that Israel doesn't love so there's so many bad guys over there that that they're not taking sides so that seems smart but here's what's interesting um apparently the rebels are being unusually successful and it looks like it's because Iran and Russia may be stretched a little too far with what they're doing El El where so it may be that uh Syria being sort of a client of Iran and Russia is now un protected and it's the very D time in the world to back a back some military to take him over if that's what you wanted to do but I think there's a bigger play here I think that this is all related to Ukraine and Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran and I feel like what it's doing is creating another variable for negotiation so I've told you that I think what Trump's going to do Trump Administration is I think he's going to go for the I think he's going for a base clearing home run typically politicians will say what do you think we can negotiate and they'll think well probably the best we can do is a temporary ceas fire that won't hold okay well if that's the best we can do let's go do that and then they get a temporary ceasefire that it doesn't hold I think Trump is so much smarter than that that he will throw in throw into the negotiations just a whole bunch of different things so everybody will first of all get confused because it'll become complicated and when people get confused they look for the person who's the most certain in in any kind of confusing situation whoever speaks with the most certainty just absorbs all the attention because you want the C cty so if Trump creates this massive negotiating playing field in which we're talking about what do you do about Gaza what do you do about Hezbollah how about Lebanon what what's our what's our situation with Ukraine what are we doing with Crimea well what about a warm weather report oh what if what if Trump says here's the deal we want a big piece we want to settle all of our with Russia we want to settle all of our with Iran and we don't want these proxies to ever bother us again so we'll make a big deal if you give us a lot but it'll be good for everybody I think I think this is doable and I don't think I would have ever said this before it's only because all the right people are in place again um the same the same situation as the Abraham Accords you don't get the Abraham Accords unless the leaders who happen to be there at the same time are all dealmakers and that's happening again it's all dealmakers it's the best dealmakers in the entire region Putin's a dealmaker right Iran is always a dealmaker I mean you have different problem with trusting them of course but Iranians are dealmakers and uh you know obviously Netanyahu obviously um Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia they're all dealmakers so this is the time this is the time to get the big one the one that gets rid of the risk of you know nuclear war the one that gets risk settles borders maybe it gets funding for the people who have been displaced um I think the big one's coming and it might be so big that it's just breathtaking and it might be so big that it just changed how you even frame the whole situation so I've said a million times that um Russia is should be a natural Ally of the United States the argument against that than being a natural Ally is that the United States is a predator is a predatory country and we can't have any competition so wherever we can we conquer and control and try to dominate every country that could be a problem to us which is clearly what we're trying to do with Ukraine and with Russia so could you make a deal where Putin would say you know what I'd actually be better off with that deal I'm good with that or is the United States unable to make peace because that's not what we do I mean the last time we made a deal with Russia didn't we didn't weren we the ones who broke the deal with uh Ukraine because I'm pretty sure that we promised that that Ukraine would not be eligible for NATO and then I believe it was the United States who went back on that so I think that the obstacle to peace is probably that the United States only wants fake pieces so that they can conquer everybody they can conquer and control every Market they can control and and especially control energy controlling energy is the number one thing you have to control so is it possible that Trump could make a deal that the entire military industrial complex would say you know what that actually works for us probably a minimum you'd have to do is show that the the people who make weapons can make as much money um with or without a pieace and I think you could do that because because Trump and Reagan both did a smart thing they both said we're going to build up our peacetime military because if you're the one selling the weapons a war is a good way to make money but if somebody says I'm going to massively build up your peacetime military then maybe you say oh well I guess we don't need a war so I I do suspect that we create a lot of wars and maybe if we can find a way that everybody makes money without the war just by being prepared in case there is one I don't know maybe you could sell that maybe you could we'll see so I'm uh super optimistic that common sense is broken out everywhere I heard uh Bill Mah on some clips recently who repeats common sense as the thing that we need that Democrats need to stop arguing against basically so he said stop arguing against common sense you know you could still you could still be Democrats but don't argue against common sense and that's coming from a lifelong Democrat so I believe common sense is breaking out everywhere I think doge is going to be the biggest greatest thing ever um boy is it going to get messy though wow and I'd love to see what's going to happen with Social Security and you know the things that are seemingly impossible to cut I think we'll probably figure out how boots on the ground what's that about history is fake yeah history is mostly fake uh yeah we we have not played well with pu that's that's true all right oh taking out Iran's nuclear facilities from there yeah so you know the thing we don't know is if you see that Russia is using um North Korean soldiers and you see that they're not helping Syria how close are they to really really needing a deal might be closer than we think but you know Russia could probably last forever because Putin's in control all right that's all I got for today um I'm going to talk to the locals people privately you all know that you should buy your Dilbert calendar today go to dilbert.com it's the only place you can get the link to buy it it does not exist on uh on uh Amazon or any place else the only place you can get it it's made in America the Dilbert 2025 calendar get it now and you'll get it in time for Christmas all right locals I'm going to talk to you privately thanks for joining X and Rumble and You.

Tube talk to you tomorrow locals coming at you 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

stocks are up look at that almost across

the board everything's looking good well

that's a good way to start the weekend

if it uh if it works out that way let's

see if it closes if it closes on a high

we'll be

happy all right we're almost ready here

for the show of

shows the thing that will make you so

happy are you ready for this

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and I'm

pretty sure you've never had a better

time but if you'd like to take it up to

levels that nobody can understand with

their tiny shiny human brains all you

need for that is a cup or mugar glass a

tanker cheler Stein a canteen Jugger

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your fav liid I like coffee and join me

now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine here of the day the thing that

makes everything better with a little

oxytocin today a little bit it's called

the simultaneous Sip and it happens now

go ah

extraordinary the best ever

probably well this might surprise you

but did you

know according to uh Psychology today

this Smelling Coffee can increase your

attention in memory that's right they

did a little study where they they just

gave people the smell of coffee and it

gave them some of the the mental

benefits of actually drinking coffee and

then they made this mistake they called

it the placebo

effect no that's not the placebo effect

um that's hypnosis

now I'm just sort of uh recreationally

playing with

this but the placebo effect as I

understand it is if they give you a fake

medication and you don't know it's fake

but because you expect it might work

there's something about your expectation

that makes it

work

um whereas I think what's happening with

the coffee test is that because real

coffee gives you real mental benefits

that being triggered by the smell of

coffee makes you remember and Associate

those mental benefits and and puts you

back into that state that would be

closer to

hypnosis so hypnosis is where you pair

two things so that the quality of one

thing kind of slops over into the other

the reason that beer companies used to

do commercials with attractive you know

young people was people would like

looking at the young people and

especially the women and they'd feel

good and then when they saw that brand a

beer they' transfer some of that good

feeling into the beer so uh I feel like

the reason that the people Smelling

Coffee performed better is because it

triggered their past memory not because

it uh influenced their expectations of

what would work that's what I

think anyway

um here's some backward science

according to the University of College

University College of

London uh did you know that adults who

frequently post on social media uh are

more at risk of developing mental health

problems so apparently it doesn't hurt

you so much to um consume social media

that's not highly corelated with mental

problems but if you post a lot and you

also consume it

it's highly correlated with mental

problems so did this study show that the

more you post the more likely you'll

have a mental

problem no I think it's backward

science backwards science let me explain

what I

mean if you've ever had incredibly good

sex with somebody you were in a

long-term relationship with and you were

in love with and you remember how good

that felt while you were doing it when

you were right in the middle of it did

you ever feel a like a pressing need to

post something on social media or were

you perfectly happy doing what you were

doing at the moment I'm going to say you

were happy you're happy so could it

be that rather than posting on social

media gives you mental problems could it

be that if you're not happy with your

life you're looking for something

outside of your life to give you a

little thrill I've got a feeling that

being unhappy is what makes you post I

don't think that the posting is so much

what makes you

unhappy but I think both are true I

think I think it's true both ways but I

think it's more about unhappy people are

looking for something to fill the need

and if you were already happy you

probably wouldn't do a lot of posting

except maybe family pictures or

something um according to the hill the

Pentagon has finally admitted they don't

know what's up with

UFOs so uh apparently in the past there

have been a lot of denying and OB

obfuscating there's a word I read a lot

but I don't say out loud a lot

obfuscating hey Bob you've been Aus

skating I never I never say that word I

only read

it um so apparently during some briefing

with the reporters this new director of

the uh I guess there's a pentagon

Department to look for these

anomalous flying

things and uh said said and said quote

this is klasi that's the director there

are interesting cases that I with my

physics and Engineering background and

time in the intelligence Community I do

not understand and I don't know anybody

else who understands them

either all right

um I'm still at no for UFOs being aliens

from other planets I think I'm still at

no for any kind of you know early human

beings who are hidden below the ocean

Who come out every now and then with

their high-tech to to look at the UN

civilized people probably not probably

not not impossible I mean I I like

thinking about those things being

possible recreationally

but no I don't think so I think that

when somebody says you know I can't

explain it with my physics and

Engineering background that all it means

is I can't explain it with my

engineering and physics background so

the only thing we know for sure is that

we don't know anything that's pretty far

from saying aliens have visited the

planet I don't know why I'm seeing what

I see that's all you know you don't know

anything else you only know that you

don't know so I don't know think that

got us closer to admitting there's some

kind of uh other kind of Life Force here

maybe well according to the independent

there's this new scientific breakthrough

in China where they made camouflage

material that uh will instantly change

color to match your background sort of

like animals do chameleons so if you

wear these

clothes you will just sort of disappear

into the

background now since you don't wear

clothes on your on your

face um I'm kind of looking forward to

this cuz wouldn't you love being like a

floating

head what when you love to walk into a

room and people go ah oh damn it are you

wearing those camouflage camouflage

closing clothing again and I would say

yes I'm Aus skating what I am no I

wouldn't say that because I don't say

AIS skating but uh I feel like the

opportunity to look like a floating head

is irresistible so I see big potential

for this technology floating head also

good for the office if your boss is

coming by if you just sort of Tuck into

a ball like if you have a hat or or face

mask just cover up

yeah um

meanwhile here here's a story that is so

good that I can't believe it's

true according to EV

Central mercedesbenz has developed a

paint a paint for the car that would be

enough to charge your car for almost all

normal

business in other words Mercedes Benz

allegedly has developed a paint that

would be as robust as the paint on your

car is now so it wouldn't be a bad kind

of paint either but that it can actually

create enough electricity the paint

itself is designed to be like a solar

panel but just paint and it's so

efficient that that you could drive you

know like 50 miles a day or something

basically your commute without ever

buying

fuel now do you believe

that doesn't that sound a little bit too

good that your cars would basically

never need fuel all you have to do is

paint it with this kind of paint I don't

know it's not going to happen right away

they're saying 5 to 10 years but I'm

going to say I'm going to say probably

not if I had to place a bet I would

place a bet that you will not be able to

completely power your car for normal

business because of the

paint it sounds good but I don't know

that's the sort of thing that never

really

happens in other news the University of

Canterbury said they they they fed kids

these little

micronutrients and it reduced their

irritability anger and

aggression and supposedly had a big

difference in their improving their

emotional and Regulatory systems do you

know how they could have saved a little

bit of money on that yeah they could

have just asked me uh I've told this

story before but it's one of my

favorites of understanding human

behavior when um I was in my first marri

marriage and I had there were two step

kids and they were they were young very

young and they would often get in

arguments with each other because they

were close in age and they'd be fighting

it out you know verbally fighting it out

and

uh and I would say ah we're going to

have to do something you know what are

we going to do and my ex-wife would say

oh they're just

hungry and I would think what do you

mean they're just

hungry the their their behavior you know

is is like aggressive and they're

they're yelling at each other that's not

hunger there there's something else

going on it can't be just hunger and

then she would put down a plate of food

like what lunch or whatever whatever the

meal was and and their moods would

completely change they would sit down

and take two bites and they'd be in a

good mood and I'd be like is this really

happening did did you just cure

somebody's like entire mental situation

with a hot dog yes yes

all they had to do was eat and and they

were fine and I watched I watched that

experiment repeated a number of times

yeah food it it makes people

relaxed but it's more to my point that

your body is your brain so if you don't

take care of your body you are not

taking care of your mental health got to

take care of your body

first all

right somebody says I post a lot

you know I do this for a living

right it's different it's different if

you're doing it every day anyway um the

house Intel panel according to the New

York Post uh is thinking that it's

increasingly likely increasingly likely

that the mysterious Havana syndrome

actually comes from some foreign actor

in other words uh the stories of the EM

mostly Embassy people American embassy

people having some kind of brain

disruption that they thought was maybe

some kind of a secret Sonic Russian

weapon and then then people looked into

it and they couldn't find any evidence

there was a weapon but now there there

is

further further

investigation and according to uh

subcommittee chairman Rick Crawford of

Arkansas quote I have discovered that

there is reliable evidence to suggest

that some anomalous health so they have

a name for it now anomalous Health

incidents the a ahis are the work of

foreign

adversaries now I I like representative

Rick

Crawford um he's one of the good

guys um but I don't think I quite

believe that there's evidence of

adversaries I think the only thing there

is is evidence that people have

complained they have certain kind of

jobs and that when investigated they

have real damage but the symptoms are

all over the place and when I see too

many symptoms I immediately think it's

not a weapon it's some

psychological effect now the the damage

could be

real but the the psychology might be

what's causing people to go have it

looked at and I I I suspect that this is

a perceptual

situation but I could be wrong so if I'm

wrong on this one if somebody someday

you know a whistleblower says yeah

here's the weapon I did it myself watch

I'll do it on this animal we'll test it

you know I could imagine someday I could

be convinced this was real but I would I

would place a really large bet that it

isn't at this point I will say that if

you if you attended a subcommittee in

which people gave you lots of evidence

which is like oh this person had this

problem and doctors says this problem

it's the documentary effect so if you

have a bunch of people coming in saying

it sure looks like a weapon to

me and nobody comes in to say here's the

evidence that it's not a weapon it's

going to feel like you really had a lot

of evidence that an adversary did it so

I would be I would say Beware of the

documentary effect if you have a

subcommittee that's taking testimony

that all kind of leads in One

Direction all

right uh meta according to Breitbart

News meta is going a big on nuclear

energy to to fuel their AI so he's going

to what's he going to do so I guess all

the big companies figure they got to

have some kind of connection to the

nuclear power industry this is just the

best thing it it turns out that the most

important part of AI

was to force countries like America to

take nuclear power seriously for the

first

time I feel like that might be the

enduring Legacy like the most important

part of AI is not even the

AI that that it got us to completely

revamp our whole understanding of our

energy situation because as many people

have pointed out um if you're making a

lot of money from energy or you're doing

your energy stuff right

your country does well you win Wars your

economy does well it it's all kind of

comes from energy can you think of any

country that produces a lot of energy

and isn't better off for it I mean

energy is kind of the whole game these

days so I think I think this is the

biggest thing that's happening

actually well according to ex-user

Terra I saw this story which is a funny

name first name is Tera last name is

bull but I think she does it humorously

like Terra bull I don't know I don't

think it's a real name it' be funny if

it were anyway uh so Elon Musk company

the boring company they they've got

these big boring machines that make

tunnels easily they got approved to do

uh tunnels in Vegas so they'll connect

the Vegas Airport to the

downtown and I got to tell you I don't

know if I could go into one of those

tunnels to me that's scary as hell I

mean it was hard enough to convince

myself to use Bart you know the the mass

transit in the Bay Area that goes under

the bay it's kind of it's kind of scary

to be under the

Bay now in reality you're probably safer

there than above ground right because if

you get deep enough down even the

earthquakes don't bother you you know

basically you're immune from just about

everything on the surface so you're

probably safer in one of these tunnels

than you are anywhere else on Earth but

man the psychology of it I don't know

how long I can stay in a little tunnel

that's feels like it's only about the

size of the

car I don't know you'd have to give me

some kind of

tranquilizer according to shyam Sankar

on X uh there are more data centers in

the US than in all other countries

combined

did you know that and and it's not even

close if you look at all the data

centers in the US it's like this

gigantic bar and all the other countries

are the just those little dots how in

the world can other countries ever

compete with us in that

scenario because it seems like um

ability to quickly build gig data

centers is what's going to drive Ai and

that's what's going to drive Rob

Robotics and that's what's going to

drive basically everything in the future

so if we have like a I know looks like a

50 to1 advantage or something over the

next best country that's doing data

centers that feels like really

big so we'll see if that makes a

difference

however um I want to be careful about

this next Point uh I do not give

Financial inv investment

advice now having told you I do not give

Financial investment advice I'm going to

say something that sounds a whole lot

like Financial investment

advice but it's an

observation uh trust me you don't want

to invest based on what I say honestly

you don't want to because I'm mostly

guessing and when it comes to individual

companies that's a bigger guess than

most things so here's here's my

feeling

personally I I sold my Nvidia stock

which had already gone up quite a bit

now the reason I got rid of it is not

because I think it's necessarily going

to go to zero tomorrow but because I

think it's so

vulnerable to

disruption because the cost of building

one of these Nvidia driven data centers

is just you know billions of dollars and

it just seemed to me this somebody's

going to figure out a way to do that way

more cheaply like somebody's going to

find a way to compress AI into some more

efficient form and then the entire

business

model you know might be destroyed

so AI has this weird quality where on

one hand it's the future and it's

everything so if you invest in the

biggest company that's doing the most

important thing for the most dynamic

thing you're probably in good shape

right which is why I bought Nvidia stock

in the first place is that it was almost

like a well not almost it was a monopoly

so one of the best pieces of investment

advice I ever got was from somebody

famous who I'm not going to tell you uh

it's somebody who's in the news quite a

bit actually but once told me privately

that he only invested in monopolies it's

just that they don't look like it like

Facebook is sort of a

monopoly you know Uber is close to being

in a

monopoly at least for a while um so I

thought inidia looked like one of those

it's it's why I also used to have stock

in in apple which by the way if You'

taken my advice and sold it when I did

you would have lost a lot of money

because it kept going up but both apple

and um AI have the weird quality that

things could change quickly and I don't

like to be an investment where something

could change completely like on a dime

for

example um you think the iPhone is

unbeatable and then next thing you know

Elon Musk says that starlink will be

able to provide phone service now that's

just the background phone service not

the device but how far away are

we from AI becoming the interface for a

generic phone that somebody like Elon

Musk could manufacture and just replace

the entire smartphone industry with some

kind of AI phone that works on

satellites I feel like that could happen

kind of kind of quickly so there's a um

some new news on the large language

models apparently somebody did in fact

come up with a new algorithm dubbed

calibration aware low Precision

decomposition okay doesn't matter what

it's called but uh somebody found a way

to

massively um change the size

of the Computing and and reduce the

increase the efficiency to the point

where it's sort of knocking on the door

of making Nvidia I won't say

obsolete but you wouldn't need as much

of

it and while I don't think you could bet

on any one breakthrough I'm not saying

this will change nvidia's fate I just

feel like the whole AI thing is just

begging for some kind of massive

disruption or somebody says instead of

this10 billion data center watch I put

it on your

phone that's basically what these guys

did it's a little less good than if it

ran through the data center and it uses

too much electricity on your phone so it

drain your phone but if those are the

only

problems the only problems it's a little

less

efficient and it uses a little more

electricity than your phone to me that

sounds kind of danger ous to the people

who sell billion dooll data

centers

but uh again I don't think this

breakthrough is going to change

everything but I feel like there's going

to be some massive massive AI related

technological breakthrough that makes

the data centers less less

important that's my

prediction um the FBI says that if you

text between an iPhone and Android it's

not secure meaning that it's not

encrypted

and so they they're saying maybe you

should use uh WhatsApp and

signal I'm here to tell you again as a

public service if you send a message in

any way to another human being you don't

have a secure

anything it doesn't matter if it was

Secure when it went across the network

it ended up with a Human Being Human

Beings can't be trusted are you kidding

me no there's no such thing as

secure

message you know trust me on this if

there's one thing you can you can be

sure of you can't trust the person on

the other side of the message you know

it's that that's a guarantee so no just

treat everything like it's public and

you'll be better

off

surprisingly the jobs report was revised

to make it better in

September H usually that close to the

election I would have thought it would

go the other way but um revised up the

number of jobs that were created and

unemployment at 4.2 which is you know a

little high but it's not crazy

high so that's looking pretty good all

right we got to talk about this United

healthc Care CEO

stuff um on one hand I usually don't

like to talk about individual um crimes

so I usually don't talk about the murder

or the you know the the one migrant who

did some Terrible Things No matter how

bad they

are because they seem

anecdotal and you get too hypnotized by

the anecdote and then you think it means

something larger than it does sometimes

it does but you could be fooled by that

so but this uh healthc care CEO

murder really is touching a lot of a lot

of third rail no what would I say

touching a lot of trigger

because people have so many issues with

healthare and with insurance

especially so here are some things that

are reported number one that these shell

Cas casings had somehow um carved into

them what do you call it when you carve

something at the metal uh what's the

name for that anyway uh etched in sort

of etched in and that it said something

about

uh um delay to deny and defend which is

the name of a book which is about how uh

healthcare insurance companies deny

claims to make money and so the thinking

is oh this was a sort of a political

statement something about the company

and the way it did business

but I don't think it's confirmed that

those shell casings have that have any

engraved thank you engraved is the word

I was looking for um I don't think

that's confirmed as

it I I feel like there was one source

that said it and then it got repeated

I'm going to wait on that one if I had

to

bet I would place a small bet that the

shell casings don't have that on them

and that that's just fake

news does anybody have the same feeling

I wouldn't place a big bet on it but i'

place a you know I'd bet a $100 you know

if somebody wanted to bet me I bet $100

that there's nothing on the shell

casings because it's exactly yeah it's

it's to on the nose but it's possible

now if there is something on the shell

casing does that mean that it was a

political

event no because the one thing we know

about the shooter is there was a lot of

preparation if there was a lot of

preparation it also opens up the

possibility that part of his escape plan

was to make you think it was done for a

different reason so if he had done it

for personal

reasons and he wanted to make you look

for you know people who had political

reasons so you know the uh the attention

would be diverted well maybe that would

be exactly how You' do it maybe you'd

put something on a shell casing so they

think ah we got him now it's

political but I feel like if it were

political you wouldn't you wouldn't do

it that way would you wouldn't you just

you know type out a message and drop it

there or something it it doesn't doesn't

feel right to

me the other thing I learned from this

is that you can't trust gun

experts did you have the same experience

I did which is oh finally here's a gun

expert who's who's going to explain what

we just saw and I go okay oh got it got

gun expert and then the very next gun

expert says the

opposite and then the very next gun

expert like a third

story I feel like some of the gun

experts are probably right but I can't

tell which ones because I'm not a gun

expert so I feel like the gun experts

are just one more example of you can't

believe experts about

anything but I'll tell you the things

that sound more believable than

others uh here's what I observed I

believe that he was experienced at using

that weapon because he kind of quickly

cleared it or reloaded it or recck it or

whatever he had to do he he seemed to

know that whatever the problem was was

immediately fixable so that would

suggest that he's he had he had

experience with the

weapon I would disagree with anyone who

says he's a professional Hitman who has

ever done this kind of work

before because uh as one of the gun

experts

said uh if you're going to if your job

is just to be a professional Hitman you

would walk up to him you'd put one

bullet in his head and then you'd drop

the weapon I don't know if that's still

make sense in today's today's ability to

find D DNA on anything but you know you

probably would have done a a head shot

and then you would have left right away

maybe left the weapon there um if it if

it was untraceable and you didn't have

any fingerprints on it

but um to me he didn't look like a

professional he looked like somebody who

was prepared but not a professional one

of the shots apparently hit hit the CEO

in the

calf

and I I just don't see that being a

professional job like I I don't know how

that happens um some people saying that

the the reason the gun appeared jammed

or had to be you know a reset was that

the there was some kind of crappy

silencer on it and uh he didn't he

didn't didn't calculate that if he put a

silencer on it the gun doesn't reset

itself after every shot and they had to

do it manually blah blah blah I don't

know it looks like just somebody who did

a lot of homework and did a little

practice but then there's a a photo

allegedly of the

shooter with his mask down where he was

allegedly flirting with somebody at some

hostel and he had had this big smile on

his

face and he and he looked kind of young

and handsome and he looked like a

particular movie star that I'm not going

to

mention and I thought to

myself I don't know he he just doesn't

he didn't look like an

angry person who was out to avenge you

know maybe a family member who had a bad

experience with insurance he just sort

of looked like he was having a good

time uh there there's something wrong

about all of it I don't know what it is

so some are saying it's not the same

person and I think that's possible that

it's not the same person um although it

look like the same

person yes and as the people in the

comments have told me the 22 caliber we

think it was a 22 caliber um some of

them are

subsonic which would give him some

problems with the uh with the instrument

of if that's what the problem was

so I don't

know we'll we'll wait on that did you

know he was separated from his wife for

a long time so my first impression was

her reaction didn't sound like a spouse

like there wasn't

enough it wasn't enough anguish or

something but they've been separated for

a while so you know maybe they weren't

on ideal terms that doesn't make her a

suspect obviously but

it would explain why she was a little

bit a little little less emotional than

you would expect if they were living in

the same house for the last several

years anyway um there's a new poll by JL

partners that says that Biden will be

the worst president in modern

history yeah I guess there were only

nine presidents that were ranked but uh

he was ranked

last now can I take a Victory lap

I'm pretty sure I've been saying he will

be he will be the worst president in

history now I'm not the only one right

so you can all take a Victory lap to but

I've been saying this for a while I mean

I think probably a year in I was saying

he'll be noted as the worst president

we've ever had here we

are so good

prediction um according to uh some kind

of new study the government only 6% of

federal workers show up in person on a

full-time basis according to a senate

report

6% of federal

workers work in the office the rest work

at home now I think so they have

requirements that they might come in

once a month or something in some cases

but basically work at home and Elon Musk

corrected it where that where they

thought only 6% came to work so Elon M

musk decided uh that wasn't accurate

enough so he posts this if you exclude

security guards and maintenance

Personnel the number the number is

closer to

1%

1% I think we have a lot of extra

buildings it feels

like well according to rasmuson

poll

um 55% of us voters think that Trump has

mandate because he won

convincingly um and of course that means

that most the most Republicans say he

has a mandate and interestingly

32%

um no yes something like 35% of of

Democrats agree the has a mandate that's

a lot actually now here's what I

think trying to put together the

clues so Trump likes dancing to

YMCA which some have said is like a gay

anthem and um now I think the

YMCA people they say it's not a gay

anthem but to the rest of the world it

looks like a gay anthem and then now we

find out that Trump has a

mandate let's see he has a gay theme

music and he has a manate

I think Trump's

gay no I'm just kidding I'm just kidding

he's

not all right

um there's a report Sky News is

reporting that Elon must spent more than

a quarter billion dollar getting Trump

elected it's funny a quarter billion

dollars sounds like a lot of money

doesn't it until you realize that

Twitter was 44

billion so for 44 billion he he

basically saved free speech and whatever

we have left of a democratic process for

a quarter of a billion he may have

pushed you know Trump over the finish

line and gave us a

chance of getting rid of you know some

of the worst situations we've ever been

in so I'll tell you Elon Musk um he

spends a lot of money but he sure spends

it in good ways that's like the best

quarter billion ever spent

all right um David Sachs has been uh

picked as the White House Ai and cryptos

are according to Trump so here's the

first part that's fascinating that there

would be aarre over these two things

that you think are

unrelated Ai and

crypto but they're not because you know

it just seems that those two worlds are

going to come together in a variety of

ways

but I love the fact that uh that they

combined them it just it just feels kind

of smart because if somebody's going to

be you know your Zar and Advising you

probably someone who's Smart in both of

these domains is is a pretty good way to

go so if you've watched the all-in Pod

or you've been paying attention to

politics you know that David Sachs is

the probably one of the smartest

Observers of American

politics and uh one of the smartest

people in the investment

world and having him on the most

critical new

technologies god it feels

good have any of you had this feeling

with a number of the appointments and a

number of things that Trump's doing that

it just feels like something special is

happening like you know everything from

Bezos kind of saying well you know let's

give this

give this a chance and um you know Jamie

Diamond saying similar things like hey

let's let's give this a chance

um but David

Sachs I mean the the fact that there are

people who have you know built really

successful lives and don't need any of

this trouble are willing to take on the

biggest hardest tasks in the

world to save the country and it's no

less than saving the country by the way

cuz we're we're on a doom loop at the

moment and I couldn't be happier that

the smartest most capable and I think

the the least nefarious people we've

ever seen in public life because I don't

think for a second that you know

somebody like sax or Elon Musk is trying

to figure out how to make money off of

this I mean they're really taking on

hard hard jobs and I could not be more

proud to be an American at the moment

because th this is what this is what

America looks like to

me the the people who have the most

capability you know doing their own

thing until they're called upon and then

dropping everything and going full on to

to help the country so this just feels

so right but there more a few other

things

Rana you might know him as a Dem

Democrat representative

who more often than most

Democrats says things that are common

sense and and that's almost why he's

famous as a as a politician is that

he'll sometimes say things that you say

oh well that's just common sense yeah so

he's he's now publicly said that he's

he's ready to work and help the Doge

effort and uh musk thanked him on x so

Rana

again Common Sense guy says you know

this could work how about if I

help this is amazing this is just not

what happens you're you're seeing all

the smart

people go to the same team and and

you're seeing that they're treating it

not like

politics have you noticed that that the

political frame for all this just seems

to have dissolved because you're taking

people used to be Democrats in many

cases and you know active Democrats in

some cases but they're working with

Trump this is amazing I've never seen

anything like this in in my lifetime of

observing America this is the most

optimistic I've ever

felt is just everything everything you'd

want to be going in the right direction

is here's another

one um fedman senator fedman goes on

uh uh let's see who she was talking to

uh Joy

bear and said that uh that the hunter

Biden situation was lawfare and so he's

he approves of the pardon but then he

went on in great detail to say that

Trump's felony convictions were

obviously lawfare and probably should be

should be

pardoned and and and poor you know bayar

has to listen to that and I think she

didn't comment on it but here again

here's a now prominent Democrat who is

saying something about the hunter case

and the Trump case that I consider

common

sense to me it's common sense that both

of those had a political dimension on it

and so therefore you know maybe maybe

you should be treated that way so yeah

fedman is just saying this is not

political is just common sense you want

to you don't want to have lawfare yes

yes thank you um I think even Elon said

he's liking Federman more every day I

say the same

um but only when he's talking Common

Sense which he likes to do so I

appreciate it meanwhile let's see the

opposite of Common Sense let's see Joy

Reed on

MSNBC she compared uh the state of

Tennessee who didn't want to give gender

altering care to minors uh compared it

to Nazi

Germany so if you

don't give miners surgery that will

change them for the rest of their life

even if they change their minds when

they're older you're like Nazi Germany

now I say this every day but it's true

the best laugh I have every morning is

just watching actual MSNBC coverage with

no commentary

just a clip and I and I just laugh like

I people actually watch that that's

pretty

funny all right here's a sketchy one um

apparently according to the George

account on X a coalition of black

churches that uh represent as many as 28

million black Americans

uh issued a letter to

MSNBC um demanding that they fire Al

Sharp

and investigate the payments because you

know the story El Sharpton received half

a million dollars from KL Harris's

campaign before he interviewed her and

didn't disclose that which is big no no

so so there's do you believe that a

coalition of black

churches on their own decided to send

the letter to MSNBC suggesting that um a

prominent black commentator L Sharpton

should be investigated or

fired do you believe

that

um here's what they say Sharpton does

not have a degree in journalism and it

undermines the career of black men and

women who have more experience than

journalism Integrity

well does anybody really care that he

doesn't have a degree in

journalism or correct me if I'm wrong

but isn't the media world full of people

who didn't have a degree in

journalism doing journalism I thought it

was the most common thing um Bob

Woodward the Watergate guy Bob Woodward

wasn't did he have a degree in

journalism I don't know I don't think so

but anyway here's what I think I think

this story is too on the nose doesn't

sound

organic and uh sounds like maybe some

people people at a black church are

receiving some money from somebody who's

got a republican

bias to me this doesn't sound real it

doesn't sound like it's organic it's

real but it's not organic I don't think

that they sat around and said you know

what this L Sharpton guy is bad for

black Americans we better weigh in on

this important issue because we've

already you know solved all the problems

with people's souls and getting to

heaven and all that we got that taken

care of but what we really need to take

care of is that MSNBC has somebody who's

not experienced as a

journalist

really do you believe that that's an

organic thing that they just came up

with

no I I would place a large bet that

that's not

organic all right um

so Jordan ne's father is going to sue

Daniel peny no matter what happens in

the criminal

trial

wow that's right Jordan ne's father so

the guy who got well who died when

Daniel Penny uh was restraining him or

he died after the restraint actually um

so that Daniel Penny even if he gets off

and I guess it's the third day or so of

deliberation so sounds like a hung jury

to me even if he gets off on the legal

part he will still be sued and probably

lose because the standard for that is

different you just have to get a

majority and probably in New York it's

probably not hard to just get a majority

who just thinks he shouldn't have done

it the

the it's better I just don't comment on

this one isn't

it let let me do this I'm going to send

you my

opinion um through

ESP I'm sending it I believe you're

picking it up yes yes I'm getting a

confirmation yes you have you have all

accurately identified my opinion good I

guess we can move on

well you heard that story that Mexico

sees like a a ton of fenel the biggest

Hall ever and so people are saying oh

it's the Trump effect so now Mexico is

going to get tough on the

cartels so what's what's missing with

the

story what's missing with this story so

Mexico seized a ton of fenel and they

you know it's enough to kill a billion

people or whatever what's missing with

the story

let's see how well I've trained you

because this is something I talk about

all the time there's something wrong

with the news

story they found a ton of fenel what's

missing what percentage is

that how many times have I had to say

this story is leaving out the important

part different stories sometimes they

leave out the

percentage sometimes they leave out the

raw number anytime somebody leaves out

either the percentage or the raw

number it's

propaganda so I don't know is is a ton

of fentanyl a

lot it's a lot if you look at the raw

number which is the only thing they gave

us but was that 90% of all the fentanyl

coming into the

America because that would be impressive

was it 1% of all that's coming into

America cuz that would be nothing is it

a lot but it's so easy to make it that

by the end of the day they'd already

reproduce that amount of supply and sent

it

out if you don't know those you don't

even know if this is

anything you actually can't even tell if

this is good news or just sort of news

you don't know this probably made no

difference at all in the supply in you

know after two weeks because they could

probably just

I bet they could reproduce this in 2

weeks probably no difference at

all but it could be a political response

to Trump so it it might actually be

because of trump but I wouldn't be

confused that anything has happened with

fenel there will be no difference in

fentel deaths because of because of

this all right Obama is speaking at some

event and uh correct me if I'm wrong but

has Obama become the person who just

makes everything

worse I think

Obama came to believe his own

publicity which is to say that since um

he would be considered a you know

successful president especially by

democrats two terms you know got

overwhelmingly reelected so historically

if you were a historian you'd say very

successful but do you think

that he believes he was successful

because he was

smart or does he not know that maybe it

was his Charisma and there was just

something about his

personality and and the time in history

where people said yeah let's I want a

black president you I said that I I

remember you know when he first ran I

thought you know I'm obviously I'm anti-

Dei like crazy you you couldn't be more

anti- Dei than I am but at the same time

I live in the real world and if we could

get past that you know can a can a black

man be president and the answer is yes

that just feels healthy because that

then we don't have to prove it again

because we could say oh okay that's a

good it's just a good symbol for

everybody and you know it's a good sign

for everything so I was in favor of it

but I don't think that Obama realizes

that maybe he never had any good ideas

it was always about him because now when

he talks

he he's doubling down on this identity

stuff so I saw a clip where he's talking

about all of his identities he goes you

know we all have multiple identities I'm

63-year-old African-American man husband

father Christian writer um as others

pointed out he didn't mention that he's

half white that was not part of his

identity but it's his identity so he

gets to be whatever whatever he

identifies about I

guess but doesn't that sound to you like

he doesn't understand anything that's

happening in politics at the moment like

why would he even be talking about all

of his

identities that that was what lost

everything the the identity messaging is

what made the entire Democrat Party

completely

destroyed because once Trump created a

alternative which was common sense when

you compare common sense to Identity

politics those are not close and and of

course the public picked Common Sense

over identity at this time

so I really think he maybe is fooled by

thinking that he was a brilliant

president he's a smart guy but I don't

think any of his presidential success

was because of his Brilliance I think it

was him as a personality he was a

special personality he's very good at it

so certainly as a politician he's he's

one of the best

all right David hog who you know as a

anti-gun activist he's one of the

survivors of the Parkland shooting right

um he is uh apparently noodling with the

idea of running trying to run the

Democrat party so he might want to run

the DNC because he thinks he can fix the

problem of what he thinks is the party's

main problem of talking down to

voters now first of all has he

accurately identified the problem with

the Democrats do they talk down to their

voters well

yes yes they do yep yeah it's a bunch of

Elites talking to each other so yes

David hog has correctly

identified that they have became an

irrelevant party talking to themselves

basically

um and and and he said this this is what

hog said quote I think the main one

overall the main problem with the

Democrats is that we would rather live

in a comfortable delusion than an

uncomfortable

reality

wow is he escaping from The

Matrix I I feel like he's got one foot

out because if he realizes that the

Democrats are living in a comfortable

illusion and that the Republicans are

maybe in more of an uncomfortable

reality

what does uncomfortable reality sound

like to

you common sense right they're not the

same but if you allow yourself to live

in the uncomfortable reality then you

can apply your common sense to the

reality and get a better result if

you're living in a comfortable

delusion your common sense won't help

you at all because you don't there's

nothing to apply it to because you're

living in an illusion

to me this is like kind of a seriously

important Insight coming from somebody

who was right in the middle of the the

Democrat world I I'm very optimistic

about that now he of course is pro

Democrat and would like to help them be

competitive

but I feel like he's he's just one layer

away from agreeing that doge is a good

idea and that maybe we should be in

fewer Wars

you know like almost Republican now he's

never going to be okay with the the gun

part of being a Republican and that's

fine you know I don't mind that the

country has different views as long as

they have some kind of Common Sense and

you know there's a

philosophical you know good good uh

let's say good intention behind it so he

has good

intentions clearly a smart um organized

guy went to Harvard I think smart

guy but uh I love hearing

this he says the party needs to open its

eyes and take its fingers out of its

ears basically yeah that that is

actually exactly correct so I think

you're seeing the smartest people in the

Democrat Party the the Federman the

ranas and maybe maybe maybe David hog

you know he might surprise you he's

never going to be Republic

but wouldn't it be good to have

Democrats who if they got

elected could apply some common

sense here's a story that um might tell

you something about the

future did you know that there are 11

media Outlets that are local I guess

they're local newspapers that are owned

by one entity that doesn't even try to

be news they're just a Democrat activist

organization so so it's not just fake

news it's actually their business

model they're not even trying to be real

news their purpose I believe it's stated

is to influence politics through local

news and apparently a lot of their

funding is coming from the Soros uh

organization $15 million in

2023 which is way up from prior

years and here's how this scheme works

so

as you know you're probably thinking but

Scott nobody reads local newspapers how

in the world does that make any

difference at all here's what they do

they the um local news Publications

would advertise their own

publication which is legal of course and

of course they would show an example of

some of their work so they would buy

Facebook ads and then Show an example of

one of their article and this would be

an advertisement for their their

platform

except that they would only show you

know anti-trump pro-democrat

examples so when you thought you were

looking at an advertisement for just

local news you were being brainwashed by

looking at some negative story about de

about a

republican so this is pretty

clever that they they take a sort of an

unwatched usess media entity the local

news I don't even know anybody who reads

a local newspaper do you know anybody

who's ever read a local newspaper in the

last year

I I I think we have

one you know dilbur used to be in the

local newspaper but I haven't even seen

one or held it in my hand in 10

years so yeah that's pretty clever trick

to use the fake advertisement as really

just a political brain

washing meanwhile over in

Syria uh Joel Pollock is reporting for

Breitbart that uh the

IDF um is sort of staying out of the

fight in Syria so you might know that

the there are some Rebels that are

trying to take over the government of

Syria and the rebels seem to be include

some

extremists so the rebels include people

America likes but also people that want

to destroy America and Israel the same

situation some of the people trying to

destroy the Syrian government which

Israel doesn't love are also people that

Israel doesn't love so there's so many

bad guys over there that that they're

not taking sides so that seems smart but

here's what's interesting um apparently

the rebels are being

unusually

successful and it looks like it's

because Iran and Russia may be stretched

a little too far with what they're doing

El El where so it may be that uh Syria

being sort of a client of Iran and

Russia is now un protected and it's the

very D time in the world to back a back

some military to take him over if that's

what you wanted to do but I think

there's a bigger play

here I think that this is all related to

Ukraine and Hamas and Hezbollah and

Iran and I feel like what it's doing is

creating another

[Music]

variable for

negotiation so I've told you that I

think what Trump's going to do Trump

Administration is I think he's going to

go for

the I think he's going for a base

clearing home

run typically politicians will say what

do you think we can negotiate and

they'll think well probably the best we

can do is a temporary ceas fire that

won't hold okay well if that's the best

we can do let's go do that and then they

get a temporary ceasefire that it

doesn't hold I think Trump is so much

smarter than that that he will throw in

throw into the negotiations just a whole

bunch of different things so everybody

will first of all get confused because

it'll become complicated and when people

get confused they look for the person

who's the most

certain in in any kind of confusing

situation whoever speaks with the most

certainty just absorbs all the attention

because you want the C cty so if Trump

creates this massive negotiating playing

field in which we're talking about what

do you do about Gaza what do you do

about Hezbollah how about Lebanon what

what's our what's our situation with

Ukraine what are we doing with Crimea

well what about a warm weather report

oh what

if what if Trump says here's the deal we

want a big piece we want to settle all

of our with Russia we want to

settle all of our with Iran and we

don't want these proxies to ever bother

us again so we'll make a big deal if you

give us a lot but it'll be good for

everybody I

think I think this is

doable and I don't think I would have

ever said this before it's only because

all the right people are in place again

um the same the same situation as the

Abraham Accords you don't get the

Abraham Accords unless the leaders who

happen to be there at the same time are

all

dealmakers and that's happening again

it's all dealmakers it's the best

dealmakers in the entire region Putin's

a dealmaker right Iran is always a

dealmaker I mean you have different

problem with trusting them of course but

Iranians are

dealmakers and uh you know obviously

Netanyahu obviously um Crown Prince of

Saudi Arabia they're all dealmakers so

this is the

time this is the time to get the big one

the one that gets rid of the risk of you

know nuclear war the one that gets risk

settles borders maybe it gets funding

for the people who have been

displaced um I think the big one's

coming and it might be so big that it's

just breathtaking and it might be so big

that it just changed how you even frame

the whole

situation so I've said a million times

that um Russia is should be a natural

Ally of the United States the argument

against

that than being a natural Ally is that

the United States is a predator is a

predatory country and we can't have any

competition so wherever we can we

conquer and control and try to dominate

every country that could be a problem to

us which is clearly what we're trying to

do with Ukraine and with Russia so could

you make a deal where Putin would say

you know what I'd actually be better off

with that deal I'm good with that or is

the United States unable to make peace

because that's not what we do I mean the

last time we made a deal with Russia

didn't we didn't weren we the ones who

broke the deal with uh Ukraine because

I'm pretty sure that we promised that

that Ukraine would not be eligible for

NATO and then I believe it was the

United States who went back on that so I

think that the obstacle to peace is

probably that the United States only

wants fake pieces so that they can

conquer everybody they can conquer and

control every Market they can control

and and especially control energy

controlling energy is the number one

thing you have to

control so is it

possible that Trump could make a deal

that the entire military industrial

complex would say you know what that

actually works for

us probably a minimum you'd have to do

is show that the the people who make

weapons can make as much

money um with or without a pieace and I

think you could do that because because

Trump and Reagan both did a smart thing

they both said we're going to build up

our peacetime

military because if you're the one

selling the weapons a war is a good way

to make money but if somebody says I'm

going to massively build up your

peacetime military then maybe you say oh

well I guess we don't need a

war so I I do suspect that we create a

lot of

wars and maybe if we can find a way that

everybody makes money without the war

just by being prepared in case there is

one I don't know maybe you could sell

that maybe you could we'll see so I'm uh

super optimistic that common sense is

broken out everywhere I heard uh Bill

Mah on some clips recently who repeats

common sense as the thing that we need

that Democrats need to stop arguing

against basically so he said stop

arguing against common sense you know

you could still you could still be

Democrats but don't argue against common

sense and that's coming from a lifelong

Democrat so I believe common sense is

breaking out everywhere I think doge is

going to be the biggest greatest thing

ever um boy is it going to get messy

though

wow and I'd love to see what's going to

happen with Social Security and you know

the things that are seemingly impossible

to cut I think we'll probably figure out

how boots on the

ground what's that

about history is fake yeah history is

mostly

fake uh yeah we we have not played well

with pu that's that's

true all

right oh taking out Iran's nuclear

facilities from there yeah so you know

the thing we don't know is if you see

that Russia is using um North

Korean soldiers and you see that they're

not helping Syria

how close are they to really really

needing a

deal might be closer than we think but

you know Russia could probably last

forever because Putin's in control all

right that's all I got for today um I'm
