Episode 2701 CWSA 12/26/24

a good chance that will be today I have a good feeling about this comments are working lighting looks good good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time in your whole life but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cuper mro glass a tank of chal of Stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine the end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous s and happens now go oh oh that's so good so good well I only slept about 2 hours last night I just wasn't tired for some reason I guess I think I didn't work hard enough you know Christmas Day I kind of relaxed a little bit which is uncharacteristic and if I relax I do two hours of sleep and I'm like I think it's time to get up but it wasn't well here's the good news if you believe science and you think the news is telling you what's true according to science alert the some scientists have figured out had destroyed 99% of cancer cells using vibrating molecules and some near some kind of light to heat it up so there's some kind of a there's some kind of a molecule that they already use because of attaches to cancer so that when you're Imaging yeah it'll it'll show up better on the Imaging because it's some kind of chemical that only attaches to cancer and it leaves everything alone so if you're looking for just that thing it'll spot all your cancers but turns out that if they put that very same thing which they're already putting into people for Imaging and they sh it with near infrared light which apparently can penetrate your body to some degree and then can get all the way into your bone and if they heat it up a little bit and it's already attached to the cancer cell it destroys the cancer cell now uh it's it already worked in animals so they don't have to wonder if it worked and they don't have to wonder if that chemical is dangerous because it's a chemical that they already put in people for Imaging so that doesn't mean it's going to work in humans but if if you factor in that it works in animals and it should be exactly the same mechanism CU it CU it it's not like a drug where if you give somebody chemo or a chemo drug or something a human would interact with a drug differently than an animal so so you can never know if your animal studies are going to translate usually they don't but if what you're doing is a physical process which is you're attaching something to cancer cells that probably works in animals and people because they did it with animals and we we attach it to cancer cells with people for Imaging so that part works the only thing we really need to know is if they shoot this this near infrared light into a human will it go deeply enough and they seem to be you know thinking it would and would it caused any problems that we're not aware of but it apparently is very isolated to just the cancer cells and here's the more exciting part you're probably aware that cancer is one word that describes a whole bunch of things so if you came up with with a cure for one kind of cancer probably it wouldn't work with any other kind of cancer but if this little chemical is used for Imaging of any kind of cancer and I'm guessing it is then then this process would cure any kind of cancer now apparently it doesn't work 100% of the time but it's really close and it it cured like half of the Rats of cancer entirely so you know I always tell you all these maybe there's a cancer cure and there's a new chemical and there's a new pill and there's a new whatever but this is the first one where I look at it and I go I would bet on this I would actually place a bet that it once they go through the human testing that this one works if it worked on animals which it did so maybe good news meanwhile science warns us that Tylenol uh May induce risky Behavior if you take T Tylenol it might turn you into a criminal or make you overeat or take drugs or punch your spouse now I don't know if I believe this uh remember studies of this nature might be wrong I don't know half the time so have you ever noticed it I feel like it's something I would notice because I've taken Thailand all enough that if something happened that was out in my ordinary Baseline I feel like I would have noticed but I've never noticed so apparently it makes you less afraid of consequences so I feel like that would be useful I I can think of lots of situations where you might be worrying a little bit about consequences of something it's like I might get embarrassed if I go to the party or you know what happens if I slip and fall but maybe you could take a tile and all it would make you stop worrying now that's not medical advice assume that anything that comes out of my mouth about medical advice is a bad idea for you to to copy but if it really does induce risky Behavior which is very close to not being afraid of things that you shouldn't be afraid of I wonder I wonder if you could game that to find some use from the fact that it helps you do things that are a little higher that seem too risky for you but maybe they're not too risky if you actually did things that were high risk it would be a bad idea but sometimes we think things are highrisk just because they make us anxious and they're not high risk well according to Frank Bergman and slay news uh Antarctic sea ice has slowly increased for the past 40 years I I can't tell if I'm just in a bubble because you know there's a certain kind of news that comes to be or that I notice but it feels to me like the climate change alarmism is just being chipped out from every direction it's like well I'm not so sure those thermometers are right well did you know we were measuring the temperature of the ocean wrong has anybody mentioned that the clouds haven't been accurately modeled and now we have for the past 40 years the Antarctic sea ice has slowly increased now it is true that in some years including recently it has decreased but as far as I can tell from the historical record the increases and the decreases are just a normal thing that the ice does so it could have several years where it goes down it could have several years where it goes up but if you look at the past 40 years when humans have been pumping out the CO2 like crazy h no real difference from the historical record so the Antarctic is not getting warmer or it's not getting warm enough to make a difference we don't know but remember I'm not I'm not going to say that the studies that kind of agree with me are the accurate ones that would be crazy so this like all the other studies throw it in the pile with things that are wrong half of the time but it does seem like there are a lot of things going in the same direction suggesting that the ice hasn't melted the water the sea level has not risen there are no more hurricanes than you should expect I feel like climate changes getting ready for a Tipping Point like it's going to be harder and harder to accept it as a real existential risk because the uh and then okay now I don't know if this next part I'm going to tell you is real if it's real my mind is blown but not surprised according to the same article from Frank Bergman and slay new and again I don't know this is true this is the first time I've ever heard this it's blowing my mind you remember the hole in the ozone so when I was younger there was a hole in the ozone and then you remember that they banned certain kinds of Aerosoles that had some chemical that was causing it and then it was one of the greatest successes of science because the ozone hole actually closed is that what you think happened how many of you think that's what happened that's what my news told me my news told me that science made a discovery of what was causing it government worked efficiently to ban that one item that was the problem and sure enough little time goes by and that ozone ho closed itself except according to Frank Bergman and slay news it's now bigger than it ever was and that it's also a natural it's a natural variability that sometimes the hole is bigger sometimes the hole is smaller and after all that banning of all those chemicals it got smaller but while they're still banned it's bigger than it's ever been I've never I had never heard that before have you how many of you heard that and again again I'm going to put it in the category of is that true or is it bad data I don't know I I think I'm I'm going to say I'm a little skeptical that the ozone hole is bigger than it's been but I will check it out so I I only just read this this morning is any has anybody heard of this I I'm hesitant to say it's true I'll just say it's reported well uh did you see all the stories about uh uh the drones on Christmas day you know all the unidentified drones on Christmas day my god did you see all the stories about that no you didn't you know why well I don't know for sure but I think all the drones took Christmas off now that's not confirmed uh I will say that we we asked our own Erica uh who's who's our one of our favorites on locals uh who lives in New Jersey to look outside and take a picture and see see if the activity that she's been seeing for weeks um died down now she got she uh was busy with the relatives and didn't get to do that but I've seen a few posts on social media on X that suggest it was a quiet night for drones what does that tell you do you think the aliens take Christmas off do you think that China stops surveying our military bases because it's a holiday maybe it's possible that they do because maybe then there aren't enough drones in the air to disguise what what nefarious things they're doing so it is possible that the Chinese would take the holiday off because everybody else did just so it's not obvious guess who what they're doing um I'm pretty sure this is an American you know the drones are American but but I saw Nancy mace who apparently has been in a skiff and knows more than you and I do about the UFO sightings now I don't think the drones are UFOs um but in addition to the drones there are also sightings of other kinds of crafts and N Nancy mace described it as a there are two shapes that can't be explained by shapes I think they mean the Tic Tac and the orb but I'm not positive so you know the things that look sort of like drones I think everybody's decided that they're either RS or some kind of hobbyist or maybe an adversary but they're not from out space but the orbs the alleged round shiny things sometimes they're metal sometimes they seem like clear with something in the middle uh and maybe the Tik Tock but I I don't know for sure just just Nancy mace says some of the shapes are not explained and then on top of that there's a story today about an ex NASA commander commander meaning of a space shuttle so he's been a commander of space shuttles and he now flies his own private small plane and he was flying his private small plane and says that two uh shiny metallic looking orbs flew PL flew past them at a high rate and the orbs were not uh spotted on any radar uh including I think he had some radar I'm not sure or at least the ground radar didn't didn't measure it now given that there are widespread reports of orbs round things that can't be explained and the reports are the reports are that uh I'm just laughing at what your you're all capital but Scott CO2 is plant food I know what you're doing David I get it that's what I call the NPC response um so now we've got a high credible NASA commander who said he saw it very clearly but only for maybe less than a second because it was zipping there were two of them I guess there were zipping past his airplane do you think it's more likely given the context of all the orbs which apparently have been cited according to people say they saw them um do you think it's likely that the orbs are real or that um let's say this ex NASA Commander will just pick him as my example or do you think it's an optical illusion or some other kind of cognitive effect where he thought he saw something but he didn't really see it now in the context of lots of people talking about orbs and UFOs what would you expect would be the number of reports of orbs they should go way up will they go up because people now know what they're looking for and they're looking at real orbs unexplained orbs and the answer is maybe maybe some of it is people just notice what they didn't notice far more likely far more likely there's priming in the environment so all of us are thinking UFOs and orbs and then if we see something out of the corner of our mind we go was that an orb and then the rest of your brain talks you to seeing an orb or some other illusion or Optical thing or something and something that was a shadow or a bird or uh there was a balloon in the air probably not that but so what would you say if if you had to bet your entire life savings would you bet on Magic Orb that can't be seen on radar reportedly has no heat signal and no means of propulsion meaning it's not coming from this planet or at least our civilization that we know of would you bet that that's what's happening because remember there's a very credible witness and he's not alone there there are multiple very credible you know military people Pilots Etc and I don't know how many orbs have been spotted but quite a few now so given the high credibility of the witnesses and giving the relatively High number of of sightings that are somewhere in the same category would you say it's more likely that there's really orbs whatever they are or more likely that it's a cognitive thing where people are imagining stuff what's more likely well I'll tell you from the hypnosis perspective it's a 100 times more likely that there are no orbs at all it's about a 100 times more likely now that's just the hypnotist talking because the the setup should guarantee lots and lots of fake sightings because the setup is people are told told their orbs all over the place so if you tell me if you make me think of magic orbs all day long and then you put me in an airplane what are the odds I'm going to think I saw one well goes through the roof not for any one person but if you're looking at you know eight billion people in the world it doesn't take much to get a 100 people to say they saw an orb when they didn't see any orb at all now and if you're tempted to say but Scott we're not talking about idiots we're talking about trained pilots they're clearly not lying I I think some have passed I believe some have passed um lie detector tasks although they're not completely reliable but they might work in this context um so I don't think they're lying I I I don't even have a slight suspicion that this EX NASA Commander is lying I believe he believes he saw what he saw I'll still say 100 to one odds that it's imagined 100 to one now remember this is coming from my perspective as a hypnotist and the fact that we have a perfect situation for a mass hysteria and lots and lots of fake sightings but you can't really rule out that it might be real because there really are a lot of them so so I'm having I'm having two feelings simultaneously there are way more sightings than my Common Sense can understand unless they're real real unexplained not real aliens but maybe but real unexplained so simultaneously my experience and my logic and my common sense says things that fall in this category about1 likely not to be aliens about 100 to1 at the same time I totally think it might be aliens is anybody having that same experience the in terms of persuasion I am persuaded I am persuaded that these are unexplained things that I don't know could be spiritual things like like tuer Carlson thinks or could be you know what the Ancients thought were you know Angels but maybe they're coming from some Advanced civilization that lives under a sea and has always been there with us could be or aliens or one of our adversaries has some technology that we can't even imagine for reasons that we don't know so all of those are possible so if you if you ask me what does it feel like it feels like these orbs are real and that we don't know what they are and we better find out soon at the same time if you said all right now place a bet I'd be like uh oh place a bet I'm so sure these are real but a bet ah i' bet against it i' bet against it with odds of 100 to one and I just hold those two thoughts simultaneously what can I do about it because the persuasion level is through the roof to make you think there's something there and there might be there there legitimately might be but the common sense is really arguing against it all right we'll see maybe we'll know someday according to what's up with that um three authors Stein hemers and Curtis they say that the number of that the amount of nuclear waste that we already have could be uh still has 97% of its electricity potential so if you knew how to get it out um Not only would you have very inexpensive power in likelihood but um it's enough energy that uh let's say the estimate is H could be worth1 trillion doll three times the national debt that could be the value of the unused nuclear waste that we just have in barrels we have access to it just sitting around in barrels so you've heard this before but the way you would access it is by you building a different kind of reactor which apparently we've known how to do for decades so it's not like a big surprise I think one of them is the salt um so basically not water reactors like we use now you you need a different kind of reactor I think they used to call them Gen 4 I haven't seen that term for a while fourth generation nuclear power but they're the ones that can use the nuclear waste so at exactly the same time the AI and robots and electric cars are all you know the current thing and and Bitcoin and Bitcoin these are monstrous uses of electricity just monstrous demand way more than we have and way more than anybody knows we could ever make in time to take advantage of everything we want to do with AI so if you think we're oh you know we might have to boost our energy production by 20% no no it's not 20% all right all right we'll probably have to boost it by 40% no the the actual number might be like a 100 like 100x I don't think anybody can really estimate that it doesn't feel like something that people would be too accurate in but if you're thinking it's a yeah we we've got to work a little harder to do what we're already doing no that's not even close now we're we're talking about the amount of energy that we need to do the things we already know we have to do we have to compete with AI and robots we just have to it's existential threat if China or Russia become the robot Kings and we don't so it's kind of convenient that we stumble upon A1 trillion dollar worth of almost free energy because it's just sitting basically in the garbage but we know where it is and at the same time that we need it what are the odds of that that that in the history of humankind the immense increase of energy that we need is matched with exactly the time we know how to do it and we've got extra stuff sitting around to make it out of it's almost too on the nose isn't it it almost seems too good so it's not easy to build these new nuclear power plants so that you know it's not like it's not like we can snap these together tomorrow but we do have a path it's not impossible to 100x our Energy System and we almost certainly have to do it meanwhile RFK Jr wants to ban uh drug Pharma ads on TV uh that would take about 40% of the income away from the fake news now it might not be enough for them to shut down but they wouldn't be able to operate the way they are if you took that much away from them do you think that in our land of free speech that the government should ban one kind of Advertiser who's selling a totally legal product there's nothing illegal about advertising and there's nothing illegal You could argue there should be but there's nothing illegal about Pharma selling the products that have gone through testing and the government approved um so my my feeling about free speech says maybe we should live with it because I don't want to be on the party that's limiting free speech on the other hand it might make a big difference you know it might help somehow uh I I guess I wouldn't want to be in favor of it just to the fake news because the fake news is already crippled and I don't know I have a problem with this one I I completely understand why you'd want to ban it I get it completely because people say that they're not really advertising their drug they're just um essentially making sure that the news can't say bad things about them so oh actually here's an argument I'll uh I may talk myself out of my position here so if you think that the real reason that Pharma advertises on the news programs especially is that uh it keeps the news from saying things about them because they're advertisers so that would be a case of censorship so that would be a case of Pharma using the threat of pulling their advertisement as a censorship of the news industry ah see what I did there so I just turned it from it is in fact censorship to say one industry can't advertise to that's just censorship but what if the thing you're doing is preventing them from blocking the news from telling the truth about Pharma because that's censorship too ah there is an argument for this that is pro- free speech and it's pro- free speech for the news business oh and I was going to use that orb joke myself but uh if you follow the news you know that Nancy mace uh get get a lot of um what would you call it sexual inuendo kind of uh social media reaction and I suppose if if if it were not an ongoing problem which she has talking about publicly then that would be a better joke I I would have said it myself but she's she's literally in the middle of trying to convince people to stop saying stuff about her looks which is fair I I I think she should you know she's she's cursed with good looks and it's hard not to notice but yeah I decided to pull back on the orb a joke um according to science alert a single 1-hour daily walk could has six hours to your lifespan according to science alert H um but it only works for people who are not already exercising so if you're already a regular exerciser adding an hour of walking won't make much difference but if you're in the bottom 25% of active people a 1-h hour walk a day could really make a difference in your life now I will use this study to reiterate what I would love to see from I don't know who maybe Trump maybe from RFK Jr maybe somebody else in the government I would love the government just to tell the lazy people to take a walk after dinner now most of you don't need to be told that but if 20 25% of the public needs to be told to take a walk it could make a difference it could really make a difference because people kind of do whatever is in the air right we don't wake up every day and say well there are a million possible things I can do today I'd better look at my list of a million things and pick one we don't do that we wake up and we think well there like three or four things I could do today and you pick one of the three or four so if you simply made it easier for people to get taking a walk after dinner into their top three or four like it just put it in their mind the odds that people would do it are way up you just have to make them think about it every time they're eating imagine if every time you sat down to dinner the thought was in your mind I really should take a walk after I'm done it's a big difference if you didn't even think of it while you're eaing dinner you're not going to do it because you only do the things you think of so simply making it connected to your dinner activity do two things eat dinner with your family and then go for a walk with them or at least one of them uh it would change a lot life would be much better meanwhile Elon Musk uh posted a picture of himself in a Santa outfit but he looks skinnier than the Santa uh from that movie red one which is skinny Santa and when I looked at it I thought I think people are saying this is Elon Musk but it's obviously not because this is a a rail thin Santa Claus and then he reposted it and and he labeled it OIC Santa so it is him and uh he was joking about he had taken OIC he did not U but he took uh one of the drugs in that class so one Leo OIC but a different one because I guess OIC gave him some digestion problems or something but now on one hand you might say to me Scott why is it a story that one person in the world lost weight there were probably a billion people who lost weight recently in the world and why did I pick one well again because people are people are influenced by what's in the air so if you if you heard that some people in your town took AIC and got a good result that might make you think about doing it yourself but if you watch Elon Musk who all of us know what he looks like and then suddenly you see a picture where fairly effortlessly he he became as thin as I imagine he wants to be that is really influential it's sort of like a a JFK wearing not wearing hats so as soon as we got a president who didn't wear hats and he was cool nobody wanted to wear a hat anymore they killed hats well if your neighbor takes those EMP and it works you might be interested in trying it but if Elon Musk takes one of these drugs in that class and it works that changes how you see it you you just need one famous person and then that person's stuck in your head so attaching this what I think is a a health Improvement I hope uh to the most famous person in the world at the moment besides Trump um probably will make a big difference to the health of Americans just think about that ju Just think about the fact that he simply just posting a picture of it working I'll bet that the um the stock price of all the companies that make whatever he took I'll bet they're looking good today that would be my guess um so in Zero Hedge there was a article that I wish I had written but um it's talking about how people are not focusing on the real invention of Elon Musk so he's I I can't I can't tell stories without him being either an example or important part of it but apparently one of the things that musk has brought to American manufacturing is the idea a that the factory is the product that's one way to look at it in other words instead of having a factory and trying to refine your product which he also does he spends as much time or more refining the factory so that the cost of the factory goes down the efficiency goes up Etc and he's done that with his various companies and extremely successfully and if it's a skill that could be transferred if it can be transferred then maybe we can bring American manufacturing back without having a cost penalty and if you add robots to the idea that you should start from first principles when you build your factory don't just build an ordinary Factory but really really think what's the efficient way to build the factory for this specific thing so so uh I think that's true I I think that whatever we learn from fact rebuilding uh that's where the next Revolution needs to happen for America to dominate The Next Generation Um meanwhile uh RFK Jr's nomination and and the vote to have them confirmed at least as the public support 51% of likely us voters think the Senate should confirm RFK J RF J RF RFK Jr's uh nomination good and apparently that's up so that that's his best favorability number that we've seen and I would say this um I have an observation about RFK Jr that I'd like to make um let's say a meme or at least something that you think when you think of him I've noticed that the more you learn about him the more you like does anybody else notice that the more you learn about what his opinion is that the details of it the more you like him and I think that's just what's happened um when you when other people get to um frame him and let's say MSNBC says oh that fact vax Deni and if you liked vaccines for your kids you'd say oh o v Den now that's not what he is he's not a VX denier you know he just wants better testing Etc um but once you learn what he really wants and you you realize that he dug into this this topic the Pharma topic and the the health of our food topic and he has actual practical suggestions for fixing things it's hard to dislike that if if you believe the fake news about what he's about it's easy to dislike him it's easy oh rich guy is going to come and tell us what to eat and he's going to destroy the farm industry and why is he taking away their free speech let him advertise but once you realize how much he knows and then he explains it to you you go oh I didn't know that and then suddenly he looks a lot smarter so my prediction is this that uh going forward the more you learn about canity and the more you learn about his his policies and preferences the more you're going to like him I I think that's all it is the more exposure the more you like meanwhile the poor Democrats are still trying to figure out what went wrong and their process for figuring out what went wrong involves asking all the people who got everything wrong wrong what they got wrong uh if those same people were capable of knowing what they got wrong now don't we think some of them would have gotten it right in the first place what makes them so smart now just the fact that Trump won is that the only thing they learned Trump won kamla lost and then from that the the the Brilliance which they did not have for four years suddenly kicks in is that what we think well Ross d duat d duat or dudy hat I don't know um he's a uh I think he's a Democrat but he's he was saying uh do you remember brat summer I remember brat summer it was genuinely amazing one of the most bizarre Mass psychological phenomena I've ever seen and they said it turns out that all you have to do is tell Democrat base that they ought to like someone and they'll just start start liking her now here's what they're getting wrong they really really should have talked to well first of all they should have talked to Americans you know regular people but uh secondly they should talk to a hypnotist not one of the pundits who got everything wrong if you talk to a hypnotist I'm pretty sure we can sort things out maybe not every hypnotist but I'm pretty sure I could I'll tell them exactly what they got wrong there was a lot and part of the reason it's not easy to figure out what they got wrong is that it was everything it was everything they got everything wrong and then you say to me no Scott they did a really good job of raising money and then what happened to it they didn't do a good job of handling money so raising is impressive but it's what you do with it that's kind of makes a difference and apparently they didn't do the right thing with it they didn't have the messaging right they didn't have the candidate right they didn't have a process for picking the candidate that even their own side was thought was reasonable um the fake news was lying and getting caught um she didn't do interviews with the major media because she was incapable can you can you give me an idea of what they did right it it was literally everything wrong now unfortunately for them uh Trump ran what is in my opinion might go down in history as the best campaign of all time his campaign was just freaking awesome like he got all the messaging right he got all the communication right he used the alternate you know internet right um he got everything right so you know the summary is that the strongest persuasive candidate in history was running against the weakest worst candidate in history you don't really need to form any kind of a you don't need to have a convention to talk it out it was everything and and as soon as they think you know if we just change our messaging so it sounds more like Trump I think we could win it's so weak no you can't win by pretending you're the opposition you're the weak ver you're the weak version of the other team that that's going to be your new strategy and people are saying that out loud like they think it's a good idea but it's as good idea it's as good an idea as their last ideas which showed they were Rog about everything basically in politics anyway one of the biggest changes I think and the reason that Ross was noting you just have to tell the Democrats who they like they'll vote for them is many of them of course were voting against Trump so you just have to say hey we've got a warm body that's not Trump and then people like yeah warm body that's not Trump you had me a warm body no you had me against Trump actually but it seems to me here's my take on Trump how many times did he toy with running for office before he got serious in 2015 twice or three times there he had at least two kind of flirtations with running for president that people thought oh in retrospect he was just you know drumming up publicity and then this third time I think it was the third time he runs and what did everybody say they said oh he's not serious he's just drumming up publicity he's just a clown trying to get some attention maybe here's what I think happened um I think in all three cases Trump did not expect to be a serious player I think in all cases he said I'm going to walk up to the door but I'm not going to walk through it because walking up to the door gets me all the attention I need and it's you know good for business good for my brand so I'll get all the good stuff but I don't need to go through the door and actually you know be elected I just need to walk right up to it and here's what I feel like happened he walked right up to the door not really expecting he needed to go through it or would go through it and all of a sudden about 10 million Republican arms reached down from the door grabbed him by the lapel and and just yanked him inside and said no you're doing this you're you're our only hope Obi Obi-Wan Kenobi you are our only hope everything is going to you're probably the only person that has the balls to fix this thing we've been watching you you're smart enough you're brave enough you know how to do this please please be our president that's what I think happened and and if you look at the individual contributions of you know Steve Bannon Mike cernovich me Jack babek you know you can list 50 more but I believe that we and I'm speaking for a larger body of Republican oriented people I think we just decided he's our guy nobody told us to do that in fact everybody in charge told us not to do it and what did we all say if you're in charge why is everything up right so the first thing that the base said to the Republicans is you guys are not cutting it you you are not doing what we need you to do and it doesn't look like you're going to fix it so we're going to bring in a draft pick and it's going to be our pick it's not your pick they very much did not want that to be their pick so again Democrats are a top- down brainwashing organization Republicans are a bottomup meritocracy because it didn't matter if all the people I mentioned wanted Trump but we weren't good at making it happen both of those had to be true we had to want him and we had to collectively you know cumulatively we had to have the skill to make it happen that's the part nobody nobody saw coming nobody saw coming the amount of uh natural skill that just sort of appeared around 2015 like people that weren't in politics before myself and a number of others who suddenly just seemed to have some skill that you weren't expecting and they brought it to the process and it made a difference and then I would argue that in 2024 that that level of that skill it just went through the roof I mean by then you had Viv and you had JD Vance and you had Elon Musk and everybody started getting on board but still it was bottom up we we dragged him through the door and I don't think he was expecting to be here but he took he he took the he took the moment he's real good at reading the room and knowing when a moment is happening so so he was the right pick in my my opinion and the golden age is coming on um and Chuck T at the same event where they're trying to figure out what went wrong he was talking about uh losing the Hispanic Vote or at least a decrease in the Hispanic vote and um he disclosed that he in a 2022 memo that he only recently saw um it warned against the Democrats losing the Hispanic vote because Biden Harris targeted them as a community of color whereas Trump targeted them as a working class do you know who could have fix that for them me because they act like they'd never met anybody Hispanic before have you ever met anybody from the Hispanic Community do they sit around bitching about race no no they don't they want to work they like their religion their family and they like America and they want to work no that you can't get the Hispanics with with identity politics they're just not inclined to go in that direction and I knew that because you know I have enough contact with them uh but if you didn't know that and you said well we'll make them uh we'll make them feel like they're uh some kind of demographic that everybody's against they'll they'll fight back didn't work I could have told them that and uh Chuck do also said that whole democracy at risk thing wasn't working and I could have told you that because if you compare these two things from a persuasion perspective all right uh in ways that we can't quite summarize uh something about democracy will be decreased because you're like okay uhhuh all right well I'm I'm vaguely worried about that a little bit but it's not really connecting how how does that happen how does the Democracy get stolen exactly and then Trump says uh they're sending rapists across the border did you hear that story about some victim who was raped by a illegal immigrant uh the right number of that is zero these are not equal now even though I rail against using anecdotes for persuasion I do note that it works and the reason I don't use it is because it works and if you do it too well I I think it it's a little bit too much yeah if you focus on the anecdotal it ends up feeling like the entire Community is somehow you know painted with the same brush and I'm I resist that um we don't need to do that statistics should get to the same place rasmuson reports says that uh 65% of Voters uh likely voters say the feds were uh likely provoked the January 6 Capital Riot so roughly 2third of Americans think this January 6 thing was an OP how did we get all the way to 2/3 is it because they've learned more since then and they trust the government less this surprises me I I would have thought that the number who would have said the feds likely provoked the January 6 Capital Riot I would have said that would be mid 30s per if I'd never seen any polling but 65% think this is sketchy maybe maybe America's just wising up uh 64% believe the FBI is politically weaponized yes and 53% say the FBI is used as quote Biden's personal gestapo 53% now that obviously is mostly Republicans but they still picked up some Independence Wall Street MAV is reporting that the government's revising their economic numbers that made Biden look so good but it turns out they're all fake so the government initially reported in second quarter of 2024 that they had gained 653,000 jobs but actually they lost jobs that now that's what I call that's what I call a revision from up 653,000 jobs to it's actually negative did we say it was positive it was actually negative not negative 653 but it was negative uh they also re revised the 800,000 jobs that allegedly were gained last year uh and uh Wall Street MAV says they falsified the data to help Biden Harris and Elon Musk responded to that post and he said quote how can the data systems be so bad how can the data systems be so bad so you know me I've been saying that all data is fake if it matters if it's random data that nobody cares about and there's no Stakes involved it might be right it might be but if it's important data such as the number of jobs created so you can determine what president you want to pick like really important stuff like climate change and you know the the economy and the climate and you know immigration numbers those are all fake and I've never done a good job of explaining why all the data that matters is fake it's not it's not a coincidence here's why because if data matters it matters to somebody's money or it matters to their power or both so data that doesn't matter doesn't need to be falsified because why would you do that you know it might be wrong accidentally but you're not going to falsify it intentionally no point it's not even important but if it's the difference between your party winning and you having a job and getting rich versus is getting nothing oh yeah you'll fake the data and you will reliably do it pretty much every time and all you have to do is fiddle with the assumptions and the the data follows so design is Destiny um if you create a system in which you don't get punished for lying with data this is the important the key so remember this part if the system doesn't punish anyone for wrong data and there are gigantic advantages to intentionally creating wrong data which you can always hide your intention by saying I just made some different assumptions than other people but I can defend my assumption because you can defend a lot of assumptions the system as it's designed is guaranteed to make all the data that matters fake the system guarantees it in every domain not just healthare not just Finance not just climate change the current system guarantees that all important data is fake now there's one exception the one exception would be uh if it's internal company data and the people who created the data did it to make more money if if Crea if using accurate data helped you make more money and get more power then you would do that so if it's all within a company and you're an engineer and you're collecting some data you want the right answer right the right answer is what's going to help your career that the company itself might might want to lie but as an engineer you you just want the right answer so in those cases the data is correct but it's localized to the company as soon as the CEO starts talking he might say something that's a little different from the engineer and if the CEO said something that's not true and people invested because of it and he just said oops I I guess I had some data wrong does the CEO get fired no does a CEO go to jail no do any of the people who were involved in these revisions of numbers somebody had to make a mistake do any of them get punished no so why would they ever stop doing it if it works and nobody ever gets punished you should expect it would be universally applied eventually so I don't know how many ways I can say this if the if the data matters it also matters to people's money and their power and under those situations you could expect them to lie about the data every time as long as they knew they wouldn't be punished and that's the case they won't be punished I would go further and say that if the government was uh lying about jobs and it was part of a coordinated effort to keep Trump out of office it feels like it's contributes to a RICO case you know if I look at the way the Democrats operated over the last several years it just looks like a criminal organization and I don't see the same thing on the Republican side nor nor is anybody even accusing them as far as I know um on the Republican side I could I can name some names I probably won't no I will Mitch Mc.

Connell uh and uh what's his name Lindsey Graham so if Mitch Mc.

Connell or Lindsey Graham say something that sounds sketchy to me where they come up with some data I'm not really going to believe either one of them because I don't know what's going on with those two guys they seem a little too connected to I don't know the military industrial complex or something but but I can think of two people who are just individuals who I don't trust on the Republican side but I don't think they're you know I don't think there's a RICO thing I think they just know what is in their self-interest and they're operating you know mostly for themselves is my guess if I had to guess and that's just a guess so the Republicans don't seem to have any kind of Rico organized crime thing they seem to be just doing the best work they can to you know try to make something work but the Democrats literally look like a RICO organized from the top I mean how many Ops did they run that involves the intelligence people the fake news and the entire Democratic party quite a few that's a that's a big group and that sure screams Rico to me so we'll we'll see meanwhile uh if you're believing data uh a Harvard Professor according to Natural news was found guilty of fraudulent research uh to promote critical race Theory tenar Professor uh he fabricated data to prove his point about critical race Theory now is critical race Theory um data that is important well it was important to this professional because it was his career and he wanted it to look bad so he changed it until it did this is what I'm talking about this is a tenured Harvard Professor who just completely lied allegedly allegedly completely lied this is normal all data that matters is fake now again there might be special cases where there's something that's checked by so many people and it's just really objective you know maybe maybe there's some like random exceptions but the exceptions maybe probably just prove the rule if you just say hey your pay depends on the data coming out this way and you're the you're pushing CRT the data is going to come your way every time all right let's talk about the uh brewhaha about hiring foreign Tech workers it's a good thing you waited for me to sort this out because the online conversation about it is pathetically misinformed and confused I think I can sort this out so I've got just enough contact with the topic and I looked into it enough I think I know what's going on now all right so the idea is that uh people like you musk and people like me say that we should be hiring the the best and brightest Engineers even from other countries now the push back on that is hold on you know why did we even hire Trump we didn't hire Trump so we can be bringing in people from other countries to take our jobs why don't you let the uh underemployed Americans maybe they need some training but give them the training uh and maybe fix our school so we're producing more engineers and then we wouldn't have to do any of this bringing in Engineers from other countries does that make sense to you do you think that we can would' be fine if we don't bring in Engineers from other countries we'll just train the people that we have does that work for you first of all do you do you accept as Elon mus does that we have a shortage of the the very best the very one top 1% of Engineers so according to musk he thinks the greatest or one of the greatest uh things holding back our progress is that Silicon Valley is way under engineered but we're talking about the top ones now the arguments that I hear are uh I'm a white guy and I'm an engineer and I can tell you I've been looking for work and I can't get work and then you hear that and you go what oh all right Elon Musk I think you've gone too far this time you know you're you're okay on this electric cars and rocket ship stuff but when you talk about foreign workers you know I I I think you're missing something because we have multiple stories of trained engineers in America who can't even get a job and they're they're being filled by you know let's say Indian uh Engineers with H1B visas and stuff so how can it be true because it is true that there are American Born Engineers who can't get jobs but we also have a shortage of Engineers how can both of those things be true we've got unemployed engineers and they're telling us you you you can look at them up on social media they're real people here's the answer they're all white that's it they're all white there aren't any unemployed top 1% black American Engineers find me one find me one and then I'll shut the up you just find me one they can't get a job a top 1% black engineer how about a top 1% lgbtq engineer any trouble getting a job no how about a top 1% woman engineer any trouble getting a job no this is just racism that we're confusing with the question of Engineers right so yes there are white Engineers who can't get a job because they're white that's the reason and you all know that right I'm not telling you something you don't know but is it true that we're leaving untapped as as a number of people said this morning they said you look at the whole middle of the country and you have all these bright people who score high on tests but they they're not getting into the pipeline and being trained properly to become top Engineers to which I say that's great for a different topic when Elon Musk says we need Engineers he doesn't mean we need to spend 20 years building one he needs he means we need the ones who who are right here right now and we better hurry because Ai and robots is not waiting for people yeah like if we're not doing it China's doing it and Japan's doing it so we need right away the top 1% engineers and we don't have enough now you might say but but what about those white people well probably not top 1% you know my guess is that even the top 1% of white people are completely employed in engineering only the engineers I'm talking about now the the people who are programmers which we often lump into the same category the programmers have a different problem because AI is making existing programmers five to 10 times more productive so that industry has a problem but that's not what's happening with engineers and here's the next thing you know need to know and I'm going to call this the uh my dog Theory you've heard this before my dog I think she suspects that I'm smarter than her because I can produce food out of out of nowhere and she can't um I can open doors I can drive a car like even the dog has some sense that I'm the smart one in the relationship right but here's the thing as the smart one in the relationship I have a really clear idea of how smart my dog is my dog only knows that I'm smarter than her she doesn't know how much smarter she doesn't know that I can write and draw Comics that would be that would be like a mind-blowing thing for the dog if she could even understand what those things are so the situation with the dog and the owner is the same with people you think that Elon Musk is smarter than you I do I think he's smarter than me but do you know how much no you don't you have no way of knowing how much smarter he is and I think this is where everything's going wrong when we're talking about these top 1% engineers this is not a job I could get I I was a valid Victorian of my school I you know I went to a good college to get an MBA could I be a top 1% engineer no not even close not even close right uh and here more more to the point I don't even know how much smarter they are if if you've ever met somebody who is just way smarter than you the only thing you knew is that they're smarter than you and maybe a few topics they know more you don't really know how much smarter they are you really don't so if you're saying we've got plenty of Americans who can do these jobs you have a blind spot the blind spot is we can't get them in time because you know you'd have to develop people from birth basically and getting people who are just good enough to be Engineers that's not what anybody's talking about we're not talking about somebody who went to the third best school and finished at the bottom of their class but they got a degree they're Engineers too we're not talking about them we're talking about the top 1% who you almost can't even imagine you can't even imagine how smart they are so that's what we need to be competitive the other thing is um this is an existential threat to the country if we don't lead in Ai and robots we're in real trouble I mean real trouble and fast yeah we we've got to be the the quantum computer leaders you know otherwise somebody builds the quantum computer and hacks everything in the United States and we're all dead all right so we don't really have options we've got to press as hard as we can and get every top 1center no matter where they came from now that's not really going to cost any Americans any jobs if you do that but people conflate it with the fact that although Google and Microsoft and Apple big companies if they want a top 1% engineer they have the resources to really really check to make sure they got one you know it might require having a having a leg in another country where you can actually talk to people and really spend time with them and find out what's real and what isn't but if you're a mediumsized company um you might find a let's say an agency that finds people to work at your you know to go to your country and work you'd say hey I want some top one 1% Engineers um but I can't visit and I can't talk to them myself so I want you to find me some top Engineers that can work over here top 1% and then whoever you're talking to says top 1% oh yeah yeah we got plenty of them and then they send you somebody who can barely do anything and it's too late for you to say anything and they have already made their money and by the time you cancel the project and realize that you can't talk to an agency and hire good people in India it's it almost doesn't work it's basically closer to fraud than it is to a working system you find out that the system of hiring foreign workers is mostly fraud that's what I learned recently so when people say but Scott in the real world we're getting all these Indian Engineers that are not as good as Engineers who can't get a job that might be true that might be true but that has to do with the brok system if you could identify the top 1% like Elon Musk can like the big companies can then you really need to be able to get them but if you're a small company and you're depending on somebody in another country to tell you who their top 1% are they're going to send whoever they have and they're going to charge you and if it goes wrong they'll just have another customer who doesn't know the difference next next time so the the uh apparently 71% of trump voters want to increase high-skilled immigration but of course they don't want to you know bring in people that take American jobs um and mus says there's a permanent shortage of excellent engineering Talent it's their biggest problem um and then I saw somebody arguing with them somebody whose account is I am yes you are no that's the name of the account and said to Elon there are over 330 million people in America surely there must be enough among them to build your ultimate team why would you deny Real Americans that opportunity by bringing foreigners here now I'll tell you what Elon said but I kind of already made this argument he said your understanding of the situation is upside down and backwards of course my companies and I would prefer to hire Americans and we do that is much easier than going through the incredible painful slow work of Visa process however there's a dire shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers in America he said it's not about handing out opportunities from some magical hat you don't get it this is blindingly obvious when looking at NBA teams as the physical differences are so obvious to see however the mental differences be between humans are far bigger than the physical differences so he's saying what I said which is is you don't understand I'm talking about the top 1% there there's not a bunch of Americans waiting around to be hired that are in the top 1% of engineering that's just not a thing um and if you Tred to train them and and I and then I saw other people saying but we have plenty of people who were not top Engineers but you could train them the companies should train their own employees to become top Engineers oh man you really don't understand how the world works if you think that works what you're going to take the person who's who can write code and you're going to turn them into a top 1% engineer with what your company affords never it would be the rarest thing if that could ever work no the top Engineers probably from the first day of school had some kind of Advantage they were brilliant but also their parents probably were a certain kind of parents and sent them to a certain kind of school they were identified they got the best training over years and years and years in the best environment no you can't take the janitor and turn him into an engineer because you've got a good training program that's not a thing it's just not a thing um and then uh there's a huge amount of what I would say is overt very obvious racism that entered into the conversation uh there's way more racism against uh Indians and in the Americans indian-americans than I was expecting like when it when it all comes out in a conversation like this it's it's a little bit horrifying honestly and I'm going to tell you something again um have you ever spent time with a top 1% Indian or indianamerican technical person I have it's incredible it's incredible and I I don't want to name names but you you know some people I I would name probably right not necessarily Engineers but definitely top one percenters and if you're thinking oh I don't want those Indians in here because they're going to change my culture again this would be a huge blind spot do you know what the Indians Living in America want to do assimilate like crazy I'm not going to tell you who says this but there some prominent indian-american who who who jokes about just trying to be as white as he can possibly be I mean he says it jokingly but he has no interest in taking Indian culture to America you won't meet I don't think you'll meet an Indian in America who says you know what you know America has some advantages but I'd really like I'd really like to bring more of the Indian stuff over here now they might want to wear the clothes for one generation that they certainly want to eat their own food which by the way is awesome Indian food not it's not for everybody but personally I think it's amazing um you don't understand every everything is an assumption that doesn't hold if you're talking about the top 1% if I dropped into your conversation any top 1% Indian or indian-american you wouldn't even know you were talking to an Indian you wouldn't even know you would just think wow this this guy or this G are like super smart and you would be fascinated and you would want to hire them for your company you're thinking about the not 1% if we brought in a bunch of people in the bottom half of capabilities well yeah that's a big problem and maybe you've met some people who are not at the top 1% you said to yourself we don't really need more of these do we well maybe you're right but that's not what anybody's talking about we're talking about the top 1% you you sit in a room with any of the top 1centers and you will just walk away impressed that's it that's the whole story all right um I saw somebody say I saw somebody say to that conversation online somebody with the title unfilter truth that's the name of their ex handle and after Elon said what I just read to you he said I used to have some faith in Elon but after this post I'm done the mask is off Elon supports erasing the culture and ethnic identity of America to help grow his bank account he's parasitic and destructive I don't think you could understand less what's going on here again the the Indian Engineers they they assimilate so fast and they want to and they do it really well so no this that's a ridiculous comment um I would also like to to describe the alternative so let's say we just close it to all Engineers game that out for me what's the future look like in your in your view if we just closed all immigration and didn't hire anybody from India or any other country what would that look like what's Plan B well plan B is the end of America as far as I can tell if you're not hiring the best Engineers somebody else is and eventually they'll catch up to you and whoever has the most economic clout will have the best military they'll start using it America's dominance in the world would be fairly quickly disappeared maybe in one generation so it's sort of a one generation in the toilet for America if we don't really really try hard to get the top 1% Engineers from from other countries all right um apparently Indiana University is teaching a course uh that says that the white people are inherently oppressors because their race and sex and religion and uh apparently you're divided into teams in one of the one of the required classes and uh if you're a white Christian M or male you're automatically labeled an oppressor all right don't send your kids to Indiana University apparently it's just a garbage University it it must be populated with idiots and racists don't go there just don't go to Indiana University sounds like they are just lost and racist of course you saw that there was a plane crash the other day in azani plane and you may have seen the video where it seemed to be going up before it went down and then it crashed and then they showed pictures of it with strange holes in the hole and I looked at the strange holes based on the pictures and I said oh it's obvious that there was shrapnel and that the shrapnel was on the inside and you could tell from the holes that something from the the an side pushed to the inside because they look like you know bullet holes that indented if it if the explosion had come from the inside the holes would be opposite so I'm no Aviation expert but as soon as they showed it to me I said oh it looks like some military asset exploded near them and further I assumed that there was not a direct hit because a direct hit would have you know blown it apart in the sky and there'd be a bigger hole in smoke before it went down so it looks like and one of the reports suggested that maybe there was a anti-russian missile attack against possibly a drone that they thought was criminal or they thought was the other side and maybe there was an explosion in the air and some of the shrapnel hit this plane and and it had to do an emergency landing so I think that's what's happened but um why didn't the experts say what I said on day one cuz the holes were very obviously an external explosion that created random random shrapnel that was from the outside in I mean if I could tell and I've no experience in this field whatsoever if I could tell how many of you could tell you saw the same thing I saw right most of you when you looked at it you knew that that was shrapnel right and you knew it from the outside in so why did it take like a day for us to have some expert tell us that I know uh meanwhile that you know that border wall that Biden was trying to sell off the pieces before Trump got in office but apparently that's taken care of now um because the auctioneer um already agreed and maybe he was going to do it anyway but when Trump and everybody started complaining about it the person whose job it was to sell them said maybe I'll hold these until Trump gets in office I assume the auctioneer is a Republican don't know that but citizen so you you all worried about the government you know Biden trying to sell these things for nothing and then you're like oh I hope the new government can stop the Old Government it turns out all you needed was one Auctioneer with common sense remember I keep telling you common sense is is like our unifying theme for at least people on the the right and people who agree with the right on some things common sense the auctioneer made the only smart decision and he said well if I've got a new Administration and they might not want to sell it I shouldn't sell it today I should just put it in a pile and sell other things and wait a few weeks and see what happens so thank you thank you Auctioneer so there there was a citizen who stepped up looked at the situation and said huh doesn't seem to make much sense that I would sell them you know instead of waiting till next month and if they still want to sell them because remember part of the story is that they might be damaged and they're they're not the good parts of the wall so it could be that they nobody actually wants them but he's still smart to wait for the incoming Administration to say what do you want to do with these so good on you Auctioneer um so the ukrainians are bragging about their new model for building lots of drones which involves a capitalist approach so they're letting their drone makers compete and make money and that apparently is causing their drone industry uh small as it was to grow quickly and they think that they can uh make more drones than Russia because Russia has that you know crappy you know constipated economy and it's sort of central a little more Central planning and stuff so so the ukrainians think that they can out compete using the free market within Ukraine um it's not really free market because probably American money buys all the drones I'm guessing it's American money that buys them all but it's still from their point of view it's still just a competitive free market but here's the numbers so they think they can make 200,000 drones in the coming year there are roughly 500,000 Russian soldiers 200,000 drones would kill how many soldiers well it depends what kind they are some of them might be surveillance and stuff but in general it's about one to one now so the the most updated information is that one well-designed drone even the small ones little hobby siiz drones um it can locate one soldier and it can pretty accurately just dive bomb and explode and kill that one person sometimes it can kill more than one person let's say they're in some kind of vehicle or something and so on average you know sometimes they'll get knocked down by anti-d drone stuff sometimes something goes wrong but on average 200,000 drones is going to kill about 200,000 soldiers now even if he cut that in half can Russia lose 100,000 soldiers just to drones next year well probably they can because Putin's really dug in and he doesn't want to lose but how many drones are they going to make the year after because if it doubles every year the year after maybe they make 400,000 drones maybe the United States and other countries in NATO are also making drones like crazy and using what they've learned in the Ukraine war to make sure these are really good killer drones so what happens if if in 18 months or two years let's say worst case scenario the the war continues for two more years I think they would have enough drones to kill every Russian soldier and and the Russians would have enough to kill you know maybe half or twoth thirds of the Ukrainian forces but if you're Putin and you feel like you're winning you're in the cat bird seat and you're going to negotiate hard but suppose I said this before suppose president Trump sat down with Putin he said here's the deal one drone kills one of your soldiers if we don't make a deal that works for us I'm going to make sure Ukraine has 1 million killer drones in 18 months and your arm is just going to disappear we're going to evaporate them now he'll say well if you did that I would have to use nuclear weapons and then Trump says to him no you won't because if you do we will so your best case scenario is just the negotiate basically keep what you've already taken and let's wind this thing down no no I will use nuclear weapons no you won't you're not going to use any nuclear weapons that would be dumb you you've already got most of what you want how about we just make a deal so when we talk about could Trump make a deal in one day he can if he puts enough pressure on you know he would probably also say we're going to your economy and turn off your EXT whatever pipelines you got left and all that but uh I think a million drones would be the entire story yeah we've got a million drones and that's what you're looking at next anyway uh Ukraine is apparently taking a tip from the IDF and they're disguising bombs to kill senior officials but they're disguising them as sort of ordinary items like a like a phone charger but it' be really a bomb and some kind of document folder that's a bomb it's according to the New York Post so I guess the ukrainians are trying to do decapitation strikes with the leadership of the uh Russians and um that's probably a good strategy for negotiating because you know that obviously they can replace leadership it probably doesn't make much difference as long as it's not Putin um but if you were in the in the level that they were targeting and you had an option of settling the war and not be targeted oh you know I I think you might say to yourself you know you know Putin this might be the time to negotiate an end to this because you know my neighbor who's got a job like me just got assassinated so so um here's a topic which I have not been into but um I found myself horrified when I dug down one inch which is RFK Jr's book about fouchy and I guess he was on Dell Big Trees podcast talking about it and I don't quite understand the fullness of these stories but I'll read you what I saw maybe you can fact check me if this is accurate or not but the claim is uh that fouchi was somehow involved in testing drugs on children but he picked foster homes so that the children had no parents be and that and there were massive you know injuries and that he did it more than once some were in America some in Africa now I'm going to call these allegations because really like I I can't really wrap my head around uh the enormity of how evil this would be if it's true so I'm a little skeptical but I'm mostly skeptical about my own understanding of the story so that that's where my skep my skepticism is on myself because I don't know all the det I haven't read the book I just saw some summary about it but now i' I've heard it before that was trying to test things in Africa and Bill Gates was trying to test things in Africa but I don't think that's necessarily a mistake is it if you knew there was something that would be really good for Africa and really good for the rest of the world if you could test it and there was only one place you could legally and practically test it I can see why you'd talk yourself into testing it in Africa and if it doesn't go well there's going to be deaths and maybe you knew that you would have less problem s if he did it in Africa and maybe you would have fewer problems if it was kids who didn't have biological parents in their lives so I'm willing to believe that this level of evil actually happened for profit but I'm still skeptical that I understand it well enough and that there's no counterargument to it so I'm going to put this in my oh my God this looks awful but maybe there's more to the story all right well I always tell you there's a new battery breakthrough now there's uh Engineers Engineers top 1% probably uh developed Ultra fast charging battery according to the cool down and Rick casmer was writing about it um that would make batteries and this case it would be the existing kind of batteries the lithium I think uh they just add some simple chemical uh what is it is Betadine so you've probably heard of Betadine I think that's the brand name it's a common um thing that might be in your medicine cabinet and they just add that to sort of existing technology and it gives us this huge increase in performance such an increase that it might make electric planes practical um and 600 mile trips on one charge and and charging your phone like right away and and it doesn't look like it would be super hard to put it into production I'm sure they have to do more testing but it it was such a big and instant change and it's from a substance which apparently is not hard to manufacture you don't have to mine it so once again big breakthrough in potential batteries um bre bar news is reporting Ian henet is writing that uh um the Senate Intel chair who is Mark Warner he says that uh even civilian drones from China are risks because they might be controlled by the CCP now I don't know what kind of a control they would have but it does feel like a risk I think the risk is we don't know if they're trying to control them or not um if they are it's it's a problem and then Frank Bergman of slay news said that there's a secret fiser report that reveals a 40% spike in heart conditions among the covid vax to uh use the fizer product and apparently this report was Kept Secret and it just recently was revealed um study found that the vaccinated cohort had a 23 to 40% higher risk of a heart related condition do you believe that do you think the data is accurate remember I told you that uh all data that matters is fake and then I also told you but I'll bet there's some I'll bet there's some exceptions like special cases this might be one of those special cases and the reason I say that is because they tried to conceal it if they had not tried to conceal it and fizer was touting it almost certainly I wouldn't trust it because if they're touting it yeah but if they're hiding it why would they hide data that's incorrect all they'd have to do is put a memo on it that says oh uh this data is not can't be trusted because there was a problem in the way we collected it right so if they knew it was fake or anybody knew that the assumptions or what made it fake if anybody knew that they would have put notes on it that says well we can't trust this and that's why we're not releasing it we can't release it because we don't trust it to be true but what if they did trust it to be true and so they hit it I mean that's that's the allegation is that he hit it this might be an obvious exception where you could trust that it's true because it was bad for the people who were hiding it who also created probably created the data themselves so that ladies and gentlemen is our corrupt world and that's all I had for you today I hope your stocks are up oh man I went long I'm going to say hi to the uh locals people but we won't stay along I'm already taking too much of your time even though I know it's a holiday week and the other podcasters are probably on vacation and you're so glad that I'm here how many people are here it looks like we got a pretty big crowd today there's not much else to watch is there all right locals I'm coming at you now and the rest of you I will see you tomorrow same time same place I hope you enjoyed yourself and uh 30 seconds until we're locals only but if I push the button and it doesn't work which is happening right now then I will not be going private with locals because it doesn't work all right so there's a temporarily a a glitch all right locals I will see you tonight in the man cave uh you know when I usually try to hit you know 4:30 5:00 but I'm not too exact about it um I think what I'll try to do locals people is when I have a good idea when I'm going to go live for the man cave I I'll post it maybe 15 minutes before so that uh there's time for you to get your alert and you you'll know when it is so I'll make that adjustment but I won't be able to go private with you right now cuz these buttons are not working try one more time nope the go private is not working all right everybody I'll see you tomorrow thanks for joining bye for now oh no okay so ending the stream also failed so I have to close the app and reopen it just to close it again so I'm going to disappear and reappear but uh the the show is over I'll see you tomorrow

a good chance that will be today I have

a good feeling about this comments are

working lighting looks

[Music]

[Music]

good good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams I'm

pretty sure you've never had a better

time in your whole life but if you'd

like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their tiny shiny human brains all

you need for that is a cuper mro glass a

tank of chal of Stein a canteen jug or

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy

me now for the unparallel pleasure of

the dopamine the end of the day the

thing that makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous s and happens

now

go oh oh that's so good so

good well I only slept about 2 hours

last night I just wasn't tired for some

reason I guess I think I didn't work

hard enough you know Christmas Day I

kind of relaxed a little bit which is

uncharacteristic and if I

relax I do two hours of sleep and I'm

like I think it's time to get up but it

wasn't well here's the good news

if you believe science and you think the

news is telling you what's true

according to science alert the some

scientists have figured out had

destroyed 99% of cancer cells using

vibrating

molecules and some near some kind of

light to heat it up so there's some kind

of a there's some kind of a

molecule that they already use because

of attaches to cancer so that when

you're Imaging yeah it'll it'll show up

better on the Imaging because it's some

kind of chemical that only attaches to

cancer and it leaves everything alone so

if you're looking for just that thing

it'll spot all your cancers but turns

out that if they put that very same

thing which they're already putting into

people for Imaging and they sh it with

near infrared light which apparently can

penetrate your body to some degree and

then can get all the way into your

bone and if they heat it up a little bit

and it's already attached to the cancer

cell it destroys the cancer

cell now uh it's it already worked in

animals so they don't have to wonder if

it worked and they don't have to wonder

if that chemical is dangerous because

it's a chemical that they already put in

people for

Imaging so that doesn't mean it's going

to work in humans but if if you factor

in that it works in animals and it

should be exactly the same mechanism CU

it CU it it's not like a drug where if

you give somebody chemo or a chemo drug

or something a human would interact with

a drug differently than an animal so so

you can never know if your animal

studies are going to translate usually

they

don't but if what you're doing is a

physical process which is you're

attaching something to cancer cells

that probably works in animals and

people because they did it with animals

and we we attach it to cancer cells with

people for Imaging so that part works

the only thing we really need to know is

if they shoot this this near infrared

light into a human will it go deeply

enough and they seem to be you know

thinking it would and would it caused

any problems that we're not aware

of but it apparently is very isolated to

just the cancer

cells and here's the more exciting part

you're probably aware that cancer is one

word that describes a whole bunch of

things so if you came up with with a

cure for one kind of cancer probably it

wouldn't work with any other kind of

cancer but if this little chemical is

used for Imaging of any kind of cancer

and I'm guessing it

is then then this process would cure any

kind of

cancer now apparently it doesn't work

100% of the time but it's really close

and it it cured like half of the Rats of

cancer entirely

so you know I always tell you all these

maybe there's a cancer cure and there's

a new chemical and there's a new pill

and there's a new whatever but this is

the first one where I look at it and I

go I would bet on this I would actually

place a bet that it once they go through

the human testing that this one works if

it worked on animals which it did so

maybe good news meanwhile science warns

us that

Tylenol uh May induce risky

Behavior if you take T Tylenol it might

turn you into a criminal or make you

overeat or take drugs or punch your

spouse now I don't know if I believe

this uh remember studies of this nature

might be wrong I don't know half the

time so have you ever noticed it I feel

like it's something I would notice

because I've taken Thailand all enough

that if something happened that was out

in my ordinary Baseline I feel like I

would have noticed but I've never

noticed so apparently it makes you less

afraid of

consequences

so I feel like that would be useful I I

can think of lots of situations where

you might be worrying a little bit about

consequences of something it's like I

might get embarrassed if I go to the

party or you know what happens if I slip

and

fall but maybe you could take a tile and

all it would make you stop

worrying now that's not medical

advice assume that anything that comes

out of my mouth about medical advice is

a bad idea for you to to copy but if it

really does induce risky Behavior which

is very close to not being afraid of

things that you shouldn't be afraid of I

wonder I wonder if you could game that

to find some use from the fact that it

helps you do things that are a little

higher that seem too risky for you but

maybe they're not too risky if you

actually did things that were high risk

it would be a bad idea but sometimes we

think things are highrisk just because

they make us anxious and they're not

high risk

well according to Frank Bergman and slay

news uh Antarctic sea ice has slowly

increased for the past 40

years I I can't tell if I'm just in a

bubble because you know there's a

certain kind of news that comes to be or

that I notice but it feels to me like

the climate change alarmism is just

being chipped out from every direction

it's like well I'm not so sure those

thermometers are right well did you know

we were measuring the temperature of the

ocean

wrong has anybody

mentioned that the clouds haven't been

accurately

modeled and now we have for the past 40

years the Antarctic sea ice has slowly

increased now it is true that in some

years including recently it has

decreased but as far as I can tell from

the historical record the increases and

the decreases are just a normal thing

that the ice does so it could have

several years where it goes down it

could have several years where it goes

up but if you look at the past 40 years

when humans have been pumping out the

CO2 like crazy h no real difference from

the historical

record

so the Antarctic is not getting warmer

or it's not getting warm enough to make

a difference we don't know

but remember I'm not I'm not going to

say that the studies that kind of agree

with me are the accurate ones that would

be crazy so this like all the other

studies throw it in the pile with things

that are wrong half of the time but it

does seem like there are a lot of things

going in the same direction suggesting

that the ice hasn't melted the water the

sea level has not risen there are no

more hurricanes than you should

expect I feel like climate

changes getting ready for a Tipping

Point like it's going to be harder and

harder to accept it as a real

existential risk because the uh and then

okay now I don't know if this next part

I'm going to tell you is

real if it's real my mind is

blown but not

surprised according to the same

article from Frank Bergman and slay new

and again I don't know this is true this

is the first time I've ever heard this

it's blowing my mind you remember the

hole in the

ozone so when I was younger there was a

hole in the ozone and then you remember

that they banned certain kinds of

Aerosoles that had some chemical that

was causing it and then it was one of

the greatest successes of science

because the ozone hole actually closed

is that what you think happened how many

of you think that's what happened that's

what my news told me my news told me

that science made a discovery of what

was causing it government worked

efficiently to ban that one item that

was the problem and sure enough little

time goes by and that ozone ho closed

itself

except according to Frank Bergman and

slay

news it's now bigger than it ever was

and that it's also a natural it's a

natural variability that sometimes the

hole is bigger sometimes the hole is

smaller and after all that banning of

all those chemicals it got smaller but

while they're still banned it's bigger

than it's ever

been I've never I had never heard that

before have you how many of you heard

that and again again I'm going to put it

in the category of is that true or is it

bad

data I don't know I I think I'm I'm

going to say I'm a little

skeptical that the ozone hole is bigger

than it's

been but I will check it out so I I only

just read this this morning is any has

anybody heard of

this I I'm hesitant to say it's true

I'll just say it's reported

well uh did you see all the stories

about uh uh the drones on Christmas day

you know all the unidentified drones on

Christmas day my god did you see all the

stories about

that no you didn't you know

why well I don't know for

sure but I think all the drones took

Christmas

off now that's not

confirmed uh I will say that we we asked

our own Erica uh who's who's our one of

our favorites on

locals uh who lives in New Jersey to

look outside and take a picture and see

see if the activity that she's been

seeing for weeks um died down now she

got she uh was busy with the relatives

and didn't get to do that but I've seen

a few posts on social media on X that

suggest it was a quiet night for drones

what does that tell you do you think the

aliens take Christmas

off do you think that China stops

surveying our military bases because

it's a

holiday maybe it's possible that they do

because maybe then there aren't enough

drones in the air to disguise what what

nefarious things they're doing so it is

possible that the Chinese would take the

holiday off because everybody else did

just so it's not obvious guess who what

they're

doing um I'm pretty sure this is an

American you know the drones are

American

but

but I saw Nancy mace who apparently has

been in a skiff and knows more than you

and I do about the UFO sightings now I

don't think the drones are

UFOs um but in addition to the drones

there are also sightings of other kinds

of crafts and N Nancy mace described it

as a there are two

shapes that can't be explained by shapes

I think they mean the Tic Tac and the

orb but I'm not positive so you know the

things that look sort of like drones I

think everybody's decided that they're

either RS

or some kind of hobbyist or maybe an

adversary but they're not from out space

but the

orbs the alleged round shiny things

sometimes they're metal sometimes they

seem like clear with something in the

middle uh and maybe the Tik Tock but I I

don't know for sure just just Nancy mace

says some of the shapes are not

explained and then on top of that

there's a story today about an ex NASA

commander commander meaning of a space

shuttle so he's been a commander of

space shuttles and he now flies his own

private small plane and he was flying

his private small plane and says that

two uh shiny metallic looking orbs flew

PL flew past them at a high rate and the

orbs were not uh spotted on any radar uh

including I think he had some radar I'm

not sure or at least the ground radar

didn't didn't measure

it now given that

there are widespread reports of orbs

round things that can't be explained and

the reports

are the reports are that

uh I'm just laughing at what your you're

all capital but Scott CO2 is plant food

I know what you're doing David I get it

that's what I call the NPC

response um so now we've got a high

credible NASA commander who said he saw

it very clearly but only for maybe less

than a second because it was zipping

there were two of them I guess there

were zipping past his

airplane do you think it's more likely

given the context of all the orbs which

apparently have been cited according to

people say they saw them um do you think

it's likely that the orbs are

real or that um let's say this ex NASA

Commander will just pick him as my

example or do you think it's an optical

illusion or some other kind of cognitive

effect where he thought he saw something

but he didn't really see

it now in the context of lots of people

talking about orbs and

UFOs what would you expect would be the

number of reports of

orbs they should go way

up will they go up because people now

know what they're looking for and

they're looking at real

orbs unexplained orbs and the answer is

maybe maybe some of it is people just

notice what they didn't notice far more

likely far more

likely there's priming in the

environment so all of us are thinking

UFOs and orbs and then if we see

something out of the corner of our mind

we go was that an orb and then the rest

of your brain talks you to seeing an

orb or some other illusion or Optical

thing or something and something that

was a shadow or a bird or uh there was a

balloon in the air probably not that but

so what would you say if if you had to

bet your entire life savings would you

bet on Magic Orb that can't be seen on

radar reportedly has no heat signal and

no means of

propulsion meaning it's not coming from

this planet or at least our civilization

that we know of would you bet that

that's what's happening because remember

there's a very credible witness and he's

not alone there there are multiple very

credible you know military people Pilots

Etc and I don't know how many orbs have

been spotted but quite a few now so

given the high credibility of the

witnesses and giving the relatively High

number of of sightings that are

somewhere in the same

category would you say it's more likely

that there's really orbs whatever they

are or more likely that it's a cognitive

thing where people are imagining stuff

what's more

likely well I'll tell you from the

hypnosis perspective it's a 100 times

more likely that there are no orbs at

all it's about a 100 times more likely

now that's just the hypnotist talking

because the the setup should guarantee

lots and lots of fake sightings because

the setup is people are told told their

orbs all over the place so if you tell

me if you make me think of magic orbs

all day long and then you put me in an

airplane what are the odds I'm going to

think I saw one well goes through the

roof not for any one person but if

you're looking at you know eight billion

people in the world it doesn't take much

to get a 100 people to say they saw an

orb when they didn't see any orb at all

now and if you're tempted to say but

Scott we're not talking about idiots

we're talking about trained pilots

they're clearly not lying I I think some

have passed I believe some have passed

um lie detector tasks although they're

not completely reliable but they might

work in this context um so I don't think

they're lying I I I don't even have a

slight suspicion that this EX NASA

Commander is lying I believe he believes

he saw what he saw I'll still say 100 to

one odds that it's imagined 100 to one

now remember this is coming from my

perspective as a hypnotist and the fact

that we have a perfect situation for a

mass hysteria and lots and lots of fake

sightings

but you can't really rule out that it

might be real because there really are a

lot of them so so I'm having I'm having

two feelings

simultaneously there are way more

sightings than my Common Sense can

understand unless they're real real

unexplained not real aliens but maybe

but real

unexplained so

simultaneously my experience and my

logic and my common sense says things

that fall in this category

about1 likely not to be aliens about 100

to1

at the same time I totally think it

might be

aliens is anybody having that same

experience the in terms of persuasion I

am

persuaded I am persuaded that these are

unexplained things

that I don't know could be spiritual

things like like tuer Carlson thinks or

could be you know what the Ancients

thought were you know Angels but maybe

they're coming from some Advanced

civilization that lives under a sea and

has always been there with us could be

or aliens or one of our adversaries has

some technology that we can't even

imagine for reasons that we don't know

so all of those are

possible so if you if you ask me what

does it feel like it feels like these

orbs are real and that we don't know

what they are and we better find out

soon at the same time if you said all

right now place a bet I'd be like uh oh

place a

bet I'm so sure these are

real but a

bet ah i' bet against it i' bet against

it with odds of 100 to

one and I just hold those two thoughts

simultaneously what can I do about it

because the persuasion level is through

the roof to make you think there's

something there and there might be there

there legitimately might be but the

common sense is really arguing against

it all right we'll see maybe we'll know

someday according to what's up with that

um three authors Stein hemers and Curtis

they say that the number of that the

amount of nuclear waste that we already

have could be uh still has 97% of its

electricity potential so if you knew how

to get it out um Not only would you have

very inexpensive power in likelihood but

um it's enough

energy that uh let's say the estimate is

H could be worth1 trillion

doll three times the national debt that

could be the value of the

unused nuclear waste that we just have

in barrels we have access to it just

sitting around in

barrels so you've heard this before but

the way you would access it is by you

building a different kind of reactor

which apparently we've known how to do

for decades so it's not like a big

surprise I think one of them is the

salt um so basically not water reactors

like we use now you you need a different

kind of reactor I think they used to

call them Gen 4 I haven't seen that term

for a while fourth generation nuclear

power but they're the ones that can use

the nuclear waste so at exactly the same

time

the AI and robots and electric cars are

all you know the current thing and and

Bitcoin and Bitcoin these are monstrous

uses of electricity just monstrous

demand way more than we have and way

more than anybody knows we could ever

make in time to take advantage of

everything we want to do with AI so if

you think we're oh you know we might

have to boost our energy production by

20%

no no it's not 20% all right all right

we'll probably have to boost it by

40%

no the the actual number might be like a

100 like

100x I don't think anybody can really

estimate that it doesn't feel like

something that people would be too

accurate in but if you're thinking it's

a yeah we we've got to work a little

harder to do what we're already doing no

that's not even close now we're we're

talking about the amount of energy that

we need to do the things we already know

we have to do we have to compete with AI

and robots we just have to it's

existential threat if China or Russia

become the robot Kings and we

don't

so it's kind of

convenient that we stumble upon A1

trillion dollar worth of almost free

energy because it's just sitting

basically in the garbage but we know

where it is and at the same time that we

need

it what are the odds of that that that

in the history of

humankind the immense increase of energy

that we need is matched

with exactly the time we know how to do

it and we've got extra stuff sitting

around to make it out

of it's almost too on the nose isn't it

it almost seems too good so it's not

easy to build these new nuclear power

plants so that you know it's not like

it's not like we can snap these together

tomorrow but we do have a path it's not

impossible to

100x our Energy System and we almost

certainly have to do

it meanwhile RFK Jr wants to ban uh drug

Pharma ads on

TV uh that would take about 40% of the

income away from the fake news now it

might not be enough for them to shut

down but they wouldn't be able to

operate the way they are if you took

that much away from them do you think

that in our land of free

speech that the government should ban

one kind of Advertiser who's selling a

totally legal product there's nothing

illegal about advertising and there's

nothing illegal You could argue there

should be but there's nothing illegal

about Pharma selling the products that

have gone through testing and the

government

approved

um so

my my feeling about free speech

says maybe we should live with

it because I don't want to be on the

party that's limiting free

speech on the other

hand it might make a big

difference you know it might help

somehow uh I I guess I wouldn't want to

be in favor of it just to the

fake news because the fake news is

already

crippled and I don't know I have a

problem with this one I I completely

understand why you'd want to ban it I

get it completely because people say

that they're not really advertising

their drug they're just um essentially

making sure that the news can't say bad

things about them so oh actually here's

an argument I'll uh I may talk myself

out of my position here so if you think

that the real reason that Pharma

advertises on the news programs

especially is that uh it keeps the news

from saying things about them because

they're

advertisers so that would be a case of

censorship so that would be a case of

Pharma using the threat of pulling their

advertisement as a censorship of the

news industry ah see what I did there so

I just turned it from it is in fact

censorship to say one industry can't

advertise to that's just

censorship but what if the thing you're

doing is preventing them from blocking

the news from telling the truth about

Pharma because that's censorship

too

ah there is an argument for this that is

pro- free speech and it's pro- free

speech for the news

business oh and I was going to use that

orb joke myself but uh if you follow the

news you know that Nancy mace uh get get

a lot

of um what would you call it sexual

inuendo kind of uh social media

reaction and I suppose if if if it were

not an ongoing problem which she has

talking about

publicly then that would be a better

joke I I would have said it myself but

she's she's literally in the middle of

trying to convince people to stop saying

stuff about her looks which is fair I I

I think she should you know she's she's

cursed with good looks and it's hard not

to notice but yeah I decided to pull

back on the orb a

joke um according to science alert a

single 1-hour daily walk could has six

hours to your lifespan according to

science

alert H um but it only works for people

who are not already exercising so if

you're already a regular exerciser

adding an hour of walking won't make

much difference but if you're in the

bottom 25% of active people a 1-h hour

walk a day could really make a

difference in your life now I will use

this study to reiterate what I would

love to see from I don't know who maybe

Trump maybe from RFK Jr maybe somebody

else in the government I would love the

government just to tell the lazy people

to take a walk after

dinner now most of you don't need to be

told that but if 20 25% of the public

needs to be told to take a walk it could

make a difference it could really make a

difference because people kind of do

whatever is in the air right we don't

wake up every day and say well there are

a million possible things I can do today

I'd better look at my list of a million

things and pick one we don't do that we

wake up and we think well there like

three or four things I could do today

and you pick one of the three or four so

if you simply made it easier for people

to get taking a walk after dinner into

their top three or four like it just put

it in their mind the odds that people

would do it are way up you just have to

make them think about it every time

they're eating imagine if every time you

sat down to dinner the thought was in

your mind I really should take a walk

after I'm

done it's a big difference if you didn't

even think of it while you're eaing

dinner you're not going to do it because

you only do the things you think of so

simply making it connected to your

dinner activity do two things eat dinner

with your family and then go for a walk

with them or at least one of

them uh it would change a lot life would

be much

better meanwhile Elon Musk uh posted a

picture of himself in a Santa outfit but

he looks skinnier than the Santa uh from

that movie red one which is skinny Santa

and when I looked at it I thought I

think people are saying this is Elon

Musk but it's obviously not because this

is a a rail thin Santa Claus and then he

reposted it and and he labeled it OIC

Santa so it is him and uh he was joking

about he had taken OIC he did not U but

he took uh one of the drugs in that

class so one Leo OIC but a different one

because I guess OIC gave him some

digestion problems or

something

but now on one hand you might say to me

Scott why is it a story that one person

in the world lost

weight there were probably a billion

people who lost weight recently in the

world and why did I pick one well again

because people are people are

influenced by what's in the

air so if you if you heard that some

people in your town took AIC and got a

good result that might make you think

about doing it yourself but if you watch

Elon Musk who all of us know what he

looks like and then suddenly you see a

picture where fairly

effortlessly he he became as thin as I

imagine he wants to

be that is really influential it's sort

of like a a JFK wearing not wearing hats

so as soon as we got a president who

didn't wear hats and he was cool nobody

wanted to wear a hat anymore they killed

hats well if your neighbor takes those

EMP and it works you might be interested

in trying it but if Elon Musk takes one

of these drugs in that class and it

works that changes how you see it you

you just need one famous person and then

that person's stuck in your head so

attaching this what I think is a a

health Improvement I hope uh to the most

famous person in the world at the moment

besides Trump um probably will make a

big difference to the health of

Americans just think about that ju Just

think about the fact that he

simply just posting a picture of it

working I'll bet that the um the stock

price of all the companies that make

whatever he

took I'll bet they're looking good today

that would be my guess

um so in Zero Hedge there was a article

that I wish I had written but um it's

talking about

how people are not focusing on the real

invention of Elon Musk so he's I I can't

I can't tell stories without him being

either an example or important part of

it but apparently one of the things that

musk has brought to American

manufacturing is the idea a that the

factory is the

product that's one way to look at it in

other words instead of having a factory

and trying to refine your product which

he also does he spends as much time or

more refining the factory so that the

cost of the factory goes down the

efficiency goes up Etc and he's done

that with his various companies and

extremely

successfully and if it's a skill that

could be

transferred if it can be transferred

then maybe we can bring American

manufacturing back without having a cost

penalty and if you add

robots to the idea that you should start

from first principles when you build

your factory don't just build an

ordinary Factory but really really think

what's the efficient way to build the

factory for this specific thing so

so uh I think that's true I I think that

whatever we learn from fact

rebuilding uh that's where the next

Revolution needs to happen for America

to dominate The Next

Generation

Um meanwhile uh RFK Jr's nomination and

and the vote to have them

confirmed at least as the public support

51% of likely us voters think the Senate

should confirm RFK J RF J

RF RFK Jr's uh

nomination good and apparently that's up

so that that's his best favorability

number that we've seen and I would say

this um I have an observation about RFK

Jr that I'd like to

make um let's say a meme or at least

something that you think when you think

of him I've noticed that the more you

learn about him the more you

like does anybody else notice that the

more you learn about what his opinion is

that the details of it the more you like

him and I think that's just what's

happened um when you when other people

get to um frame him and let's say MSNBC

says oh that fact vax Deni

and if you liked vaccines for your kids

you'd say oh o v Den now that's not what

he is he's not a VX denier you know he

just wants better testing Etc um but

once you learn what he really wants and

you you realize that he dug into this

this topic the Pharma topic and the the

health of our food topic and he has

actual practical suggestions for fixing

things it's hard to dislike

that if if you believe the fake news

about what he's about it's easy to

dislike him it's easy oh rich guy is

going to come and tell us what to eat

and he's going to destroy the farm

industry and why is he taking away their

free speech let him

advertise but once you realize how much

he knows and then he explains it to you

you go oh I didn't know that and then

suddenly he looks a lot smarter so my

prediction is this that

uh going forward the more you learn

about canity and the more you learn

about his his policies and preferences

the more you're going to like him I I

think that's all it is the more exposure

the more you

like meanwhile the poor Democrats are

still trying to figure out what went

wrong and their process for figuring out

what went wrong involves asking all the

people who got everything wrong wrong

what they got

wrong uh if those same people were

capable of knowing what they got wrong

now don't we think some of them would

have gotten it right in the first place

what makes them so smart now just the

fact that Trump won is that the only

thing they learned Trump won kamla lost

and then from that the the the

Brilliance which they did not have for

four years suddenly kicks in is that

what we think

well Ross d duat d duat or dudy hat I

don't know um he's

a uh I think he's a Democrat but he's he

was saying uh do you remember brat

summer I remember brat summer it was

genuinely amazing one of the most

bizarre Mass psychological phenomena

I've ever seen and they said it turns

out that all you have to do is tell

Democrat base that they ought to like

someone and they'll just start start

liking

her now here's what they're getting

wrong they really really should have

talked to well first of all they should

have talked to Americans you know

regular

people but

uh secondly they should talk to a

hypnotist not one of the pundits who got

everything wrong if you talk to a

hypnotist I'm pretty sure we can sort

things out

maybe not every hypnotist but I'm pretty

sure I

could I'll tell them exactly what they

got wrong there was a lot and part of

the reason it's not easy to figure out

what they got wrong is that it was

everything it was everything they got

everything wrong and then you say to me

no Scott they did a really good job of

raising money and then what happened to

it they didn't do a good job of handling

money so raising is impressive

but it's what you do with it that's kind

of makes a difference and apparently

they didn't do the right thing with it

they didn't have the messaging right

they didn't have the candidate right

they didn't have a process for picking

the candidate that even their own side

was thought was

reasonable um the fake news was lying

and getting

caught um she didn't do interviews with

the major media because she was

incapable can you can you give me an

idea of what they did right

it it was literally everything wrong now

unfortunately for them uh Trump ran what

is in my

opinion might go down in history as the

best campaign of all time his campaign

was just freaking awesome like he got

all the messaging right he got all the

communication right he used the

alternate you know internet

right um he got everything right so you

know the summary is that the strongest

persuasive candidate in history was

running against the weakest worst

candidate in history you don't really

need to form any kind of a you don't

need to have a convention to talk it out

it was everything and and as soon as

they think you know if we just change

our messaging so it sounds more like

Trump I think we could

win it's so weak

no you can't win by pretending you're

the opposition you're the weak ver

you're the weak version of the other

team that that's going to be your new

strategy and people are saying that out

loud like they think it's a good idea

but it's as good idea it's as good an

idea as their last ideas which showed

they were Rog about everything basically

in

politics anyway one of the biggest

changes I think and the reason that Ross

was noting you just have to tell the

Democrats who they like they'll vote for

them is many of them of course were

voting against Trump so you just have to

say hey we've got a warm body that's not

Trump and then people like yeah warm

body that's not Trump you had me a warm

body no you had me against Trump

actually but it seems to me here's my

take on Trump how many times did he toy

with running for office before he got

serious in

2015 twice or three times

there he had at least two kind of

flirtations with running for president

that people thought oh in retrospect he

was just you know drumming up

publicity and then this third time I

think it was the third time he runs and

what did everybody say they said oh he's

not serious he's just drumming up

publicity he's just a clown trying to

get some

attention maybe here's what I think

happened

um I think in all three cases Trump did

not expect to be a serious

player I think in all cases he said I'm

going to walk up to the door but I'm not

going to walk through it because walking

up to the door gets me all the attention

I need and it's you know good for

business good for my brand so I'll get

all the good stuff but I don't need to

go through the door and actually you

know be elected I just need to walk

right up to it and here's what I feel

like happened he walked right up to the

door not really expecting he needed to

go through it or would go through it and

all of a sudden about 10 million

Republican arms reached down from the

door grabbed him by the lapel

and and just yanked him inside and said

no you're doing

this you're you're our only hope Obi

Obi-Wan Kenobi you are our only hope

everything is going to you're

probably the only person that has the

balls to fix this thing we've been

watching you you're smart enough you're

brave enough you know how to do this

please please be our president that's

what I think happened and and if you

look at the individual

contributions of you know Steve Bannon

Mike cernovich me Jack babek you know

you can list 50 more

but I believe that we and I'm speaking

for a larger body of Republican oriented

people I think we just decided he's our

guy

nobody told us to do that in fact

everybody in charge told us not to do it

and what did we all

say if you're in charge why is

everything up right so the first

thing that the base said to the

Republicans is you guys are not cutting

it you you are not doing what we need

you to do and it doesn't look like

you're going to fix it so we're going to

bring in a draft pick and it's going to

be our pick it's not your pick they very

much did not want that to be their pick

so again Democrats are a top- down

brainwashing

organization Republicans are a bottomup

meritocracy because it didn't matter if

all the people I mentioned wanted Trump

but we weren't good at making it

happen both of those had to be true we

had to want him and we had to

collectively you know cumulatively we

had to have the skill to make it happen

that's the part nobody nobody saw coming

nobody saw coming the amount of uh

natural skill that just sort of appeared

around

2015 like people that weren't in

politics before myself and a number of

others who suddenly just seemed to have

some skill that you weren't expecting

and they brought it to the process and

it made a difference and then I would

argue that in

2024 that that level of that skill it

just went through the roof I mean by

then you had Viv and you had JD Vance

and you had Elon Musk and everybody

started getting on board but still it

was bottom up we we dragged him through

the door and I don't think he was

expecting to be here but he took he he

took

the he took the moment he's real good at

reading the room and knowing when a

moment is happening so so he was the

right pick in my my opinion and the

golden age is coming

on

um and Chuck T at the same event where

they're trying to figure out what went

wrong he was talking about uh losing the

Hispanic Vote or at least a decrease in

the Hispanic vote and um he disclosed

that he in a 2022 memo that he only

recently saw um it warned against the

Democrats losing the Hispanic vote

because Biden Harris targeted them as a

community of color whereas Trump

targeted them as a working

class do you know who could have fix

that for

them

me because they act like they'd never

met anybody Hispanic before have you

ever met anybody from the Hispanic

Community do they sit around bitching

about race no no they don't they want to

work they like their religion their

family and they like America and they

want to work no that you can't get the

Hispanics with with identity politics

they're just not inclined to go in that

direction and I knew that because you

know I have enough contact with them uh

but if you didn't know that and you said

well we'll make them uh we'll make them

feel like they're uh some kind of

demographic that everybody's against

they'll they'll fight back didn't work I

could have told them that

and uh Chuck do also said that whole

democracy at risk thing wasn't working

and I could have told you

that because if you compare these two

things from a persuasion

perspective all right uh in ways that we

can't quite summarize uh something about

democracy will be decreased because

you're like okay uhhuh all right well

I'm I'm vaguely worried about that a

little bit

but it's not really connecting how how

does that happen how does the Democracy

get stolen

exactly and then Trump says uh they're

sending rapists across the border did

you hear that story about some victim

who was raped by a illegal immigrant uh

the right number of that is

zero these are not

equal now even though I rail against

using anecdotes for persuasion

I do note that it works and the reason I

don't use it is because it works and if

you do it too well I I think it it's a

little bit too much yeah if you focus on

the anecdotal it ends up feeling like

the entire Community is somehow you know

painted with the same brush and I'm I

resist

that um we don't need to do that

statistics should get to the same place

rasmuson reports says that uh 65% of

Voters uh likely voters say the feds

were uh likely provoked the January 6

Capital Riot so roughly 2third of

Americans think this January 6 thing was

an

OP how did we get all the way to

2/3 is it because they've learned more

since then and they trust the government

less this surprises me I I would have

thought that the number who would have

said the feds likely provoked the

January 6 Capital Riot I would have said

that would be mid 30s

per if I'd never seen any polling but

65% think this is

sketchy maybe maybe America's just

wising up uh 64% believe the FBI is

politically weaponized yes and 53% say

the FBI is used as quote Biden's

personal

gestapo

53% now that obviously is mostly

Republicans but they still picked up

some

Independence Wall Street MAV is

reporting that the government's revising

their economic numbers that made Biden

look so good but it turns out they're

all fake so the government initially

reported in second quarter of 2024 that

they had gained 653,000 jobs but

actually they lost

jobs that now that's what I

call that's what I call a revision from

up 653,000 jobs to it's actually

negative did we say it was positive it

was actually negative not negative 653

but it was

negative uh they also re revised the

800,000 jobs that allegedly were gained

last year uh and uh Wall Street MAV says

they falsified the data to help Biden

Harris and Elon Musk responded to that

post and he said quote how can the data

systems be so

bad how can the data systems be so bad

so you know me I've been saying that all

data is fake if it

matters if it's random data that nobody

cares about and there's no Stakes

involved it might be right it might be

but if it's important data such as the

number of jobs created so you can

determine what president you want to

pick like really important stuff like

climate change and you know the the

economy and the climate and you know

immigration numbers those are all

fake and I've never done a good job of

explaining why all the data that

matters is fake it's not it's not a

coincidence here's why

because if data

matters it matters to somebody's money

or it matters to their power or both so

data that doesn't matter doesn't need to

be falsified because why would you do

that you know it might be wrong

accidentally but you're not going to

falsify it intentionally no point it's

not even important but if it's the

difference between your party winning

and you having a job and getting rich

versus is getting nothing oh yeah you'll

fake the data and you will reliably do

it pretty much every time and all you

have to do is fiddle with the

assumptions and the the data follows so

design is

Destiny um if you create a system in

which you don't get punished for lying

with data this is the important the key

so remember this part if the system

doesn't punish anyone for wrong data

and there are gigantic advantages to

intentionally creating wrong data which

you can always hide your intention by

saying I just made some different

assumptions than other people but I can

defend my

assumption because you can defend a lot

of

assumptions the system as it's designed

is guaranteed to make all the data that

matters fake the system guarantees it in

every domain

not just healthare not just Finance not

just climate change the current system

guarantees that all important data is

fake now there's one

exception the one exception would be uh

if it's internal company data and the

people who created the data did it to

make more

money if if Crea if using accurate data

helped you make more money and get more

power then you would do that so if it's

all within a company and you're an

engineer and you're collecting some data

you want the right answer right the

right answer is what's going to help

your career that the company itself

might might want to lie but as an

engineer you you just want the right

answer so in those cases the data is

correct but it's localized to the

company as soon as the CEO starts

talking he might say something that's a

little different from the engineer and

if the CEO said something that's not

true and people invested because of it

and he just said oops I I guess I had

some data wrong does the CEO get fired

no does a CEO go to jail no do any of

the people who were involved in these

revisions of numbers somebody had to

make a

mistake do any of them get punished no

so why would they ever stop doing it if

it works and nobody ever gets punished

you should expect it would be

universally applied eventually

so I don't know how many ways I can say

this if the if the data matters it also

matters to people's money and their

power and under those situations you

could expect them to lie about the data

every time as long as they knew they

wouldn't be punished and that's the case

they won't be

punished I would go further and

say that if the government was uh lying

about

jobs and it was part of a coordinated

effort to keep Trump out of

office it feels like it's contributes to

a RICO case you know if I look at the

way the

Democrats operated over the last several

years it just looks like a criminal

organization and I don't see the same

thing on the Republican side nor nor is

anybody even accusing them as far as I

know um on the Republican side I could I

can name some names I probably won't no

I will Mitch

McConnell uh and uh what's his name

Lindsey

Graham so if Mitch McConnell or Lindsey

Graham say something that sounds sketchy

to me where they come up with some data

I'm not really going to believe either

one of them because I don't know what's

going on with those two guys

they seem a little too connected to I

don't know the military industrial

complex or something but but I can think

of two people who are just individuals

who I don't trust on the Republican side

but I don't think they're you know I

don't think there's a

RICO thing I think they just know what

is in their self-interest and they're

operating you know mostly for themselves

is my guess if I had to guess and that's

just a guess so the Republicans don't

seem to have any kind of

Rico organized crime thing they seem to

be just doing the best work they can to

you know try to make something work but

the Democrats literally look like a RICO

organized from the top I mean how many

Ops did they run that involves the

intelligence people the fake news and

the entire Democratic party quite a few

that's a that's a big group and that

sure screams Rico to me so we'll we'll

see meanwhile uh if you're believing

data uh a Harvard Professor according to

Natural news was found guilty of

fraudulent research uh to promote

critical race

Theory tenar

Professor uh he fabricated data to prove

his

point about critical race Theory now is

critical race Theory

um data that is

important well it was important to this

professional because it was his career

and he wanted it to look bad so he

changed it until it

did this is what I'm talking about this

is a tenured Harvard Professor who just

completely lied allegedly allegedly

completely

lied this is

normal all data that matters is

fake now again there might be special

cases where there's something that's

checked by so many people and it's just

really objective you know maybe maybe

there's some like random exceptions but

the exceptions maybe probably just prove

the rule if you just say hey your pay

depends on the data coming out this way

and you're the you're pushing

CRT the data is going to come your way

every time

all right let's talk about the uh

brewhaha about hiring foreign Tech

workers it's a good thing you waited for

me to sort this out because the online

conversation about it is pathetically

misinformed and confused I think I can

sort this out so I've got just enough

contact with the topic and I looked into

it enough I think I know what's going on

now all right so the idea is that uh

people like you musk and people like me

say that we should be hiring the the

best and brightest

Engineers even from other

countries now the push back on that is

hold on you know why did we even hire

Trump we didn't hire Trump so we can be

bringing in people from other countries

to take our jobs why don't you let the

uh underemployed Americans maybe they

need some training but give them the

training uh and maybe fix our school so

we're producing more engineers and then

we wouldn't have to do any of this

bringing in Engineers from other

countries does that make sense to

you do you think that we can would' be

fine if we don't bring in Engineers from

other countries we'll just train the

people that we

have does that work for you first of all

do you do you accept as Elon mus does

that we have a shortage of the the very

best the very one top 1% of Engineers so

according to musk he thinks the greatest

or one of the greatest uh things holding

back our progress is that Silicon Valley

is way under engineered but we're

talking about the top

ones now the arguments that I hear are

uh I'm a white guy and I'm an engineer

and I can tell you I've been looking for

work and I can't get

work and then you hear that and you go

what oh all right Elon Musk I think

you've gone too far this time you know

you're you're okay on this electric cars

and rocket ship stuff but when you talk

about foreign workers you know I I I

think you're missing something because

we have multiple stories of trained

engineers in America who can't even get

a job and they're they're being filled

by you know let's say Indian uh

Engineers with H1B visas and stuff so

how can it be true

because it is true that there are

American Born Engineers who can't get

jobs but we also have a shortage of

Engineers how can both of those things

be true we've got unemployed engineers

and they're telling us you you you can

look at them up on social media they're

real people here's the answer they're

all

white that's it they're all white there

aren't any unemployed top 1% black

American

Engineers find me

one find me one and then I'll shut the

up you just find me one they can't

get a job a top 1% black engineer how

about a top 1% lgbtq engineer any

trouble getting a job no how about a top

1% woman engineer any trouble getting a

job no this is just racism that

we're confusing with the question of

Engineers right so yes there are white

Engineers who can't get a job because

they're white that's the reason

and you all know that right I'm not

telling you something you don't

know but is it

true that we're leaving untapped as as a

number of people said this morning they

said you look at the whole middle of the

country and you have all these bright

people who score high on tests but they

they're not getting into the pipeline

and being trained properly to become top

Engineers to which I say that's great

for a different

topic when Elon Musk says we need

Engineers he doesn't mean we need to

spend 20 years building

one he needs he means we need the ones

who who are right here right now and we

better hurry because Ai and

robots is not waiting for people yeah

like if we're not doing it China's doing

it and Japan's doing it so we need right

away the top 1% engineers and we don't

have enough now you might say but but

what about those white people well

probably not top 1% you know my guess is

that even the top 1% of white people are

completely employed in engineering only

the engineers I'm talking about now the

the people who are

programmers which we often lump into the

same category the programmers have a

different problem because AI is making

existing programmers

five to 10 times more

productive so that industry has a

problem but that's not what's happening

with

engineers and here's the next thing you

know need to know and I'm going to call

this the uh my dog Theory you've heard

this

before my dog I think she suspects that

I'm smarter than her because I can

produce food out of out of nowhere and

she can't um I can open doors I can

drive a car like even the dog has some

sense that I'm the smart one in the

relationship right but here's the

thing as the smart one in the

relationship I have a really clear idea

of how smart my dog is my dog only knows

that I'm smarter than her she doesn't

know how much

smarter she doesn't know that I can

write and draw

Comics that would be that would be like

a mind-blowing thing for the dog if she

could even understand what those things

are so the situation with the dog and

the owner is the same with

people you think that Elon Musk is

smarter than you I do I think he's

smarter than me but do you know how

much no you don't you have no way of

knowing how much smarter he is and I

think this is where everything's going

wrong when we're talking about these top

1% engineers

this is not a job I could

get I I was a valid Victorian of my

school I you know I went to a good

college to get an MBA could I be a top

1% engineer no not even close not even

close right uh and here more more to the

point I don't even know how much smarter

they

are if if you've ever met somebody who

is just way smarter than you the only

thing you knew is that they're smarter

than you and maybe a few topics they

know more you don't really know how much

smarter they are you really don't so if

you're saying we've got plenty of

Americans who can do these jobs you have

a blind

spot the blind spot is we can't get them

in time because you know you'd have to

develop people from birth basically and

getting people who are just good enough

to be Engineers that's not what

anybody's talking about we're not

talking about somebody who went to the

third best school and finished at the

bottom of their class but they got a

degree they're Engineers too we're not

talking about them we're talking about

the top 1% who you almost can't even

imagine you can't even imagine how smart

they are so that's what we need to be

competitive the other thing is um this

is an existential threat to the country

if we don't lead in Ai and robots we're

in real trouble I mean real trouble and

fast yeah we we've got to be the the

quantum computer

leaders you know otherwise somebody

builds the quantum computer and hacks

everything in the United States and

we're all dead all right so we don't

really have options we've got to press

as hard as we can and get every top

1center no matter where they came from

now that's not really going to cost any

Americans any jobs if you do that but

people conflate it with the fact that

although Google and Microsoft and Apple

big companies

if they want a top 1% engineer they have

the resources to really really check to

make sure they got one you know it might

require having a having a leg in another

country where you can actually talk to

people and really spend time with them

and find out what's real and what isn't

but if you're a mediumsized

company um you might find a let's say an

agency that finds people to work at your

you know to go to your country and work

you'd say hey I want some top one 1%

Engineers um but I can't visit and I

can't talk to them myself so I want you

to find me some top Engineers that can

work over here top 1% and then whoever

you're talking to says top 1% oh yeah

yeah we got plenty of them and then they

send you somebody who can barely do

anything and it's too late for you to

say anything and they have already made

their money and by the time you cancel

the project and realize that you can't

talk to an agency and hire good people

in India it's it almost doesn't work

it's basically closer to fraud than it

is to a working system you find out that

the system of hiring foreign workers is

mostly

fraud that's what I learned recently

so when people say but Scott in the real

world we're getting all these Indian

Engineers that are not as good as

Engineers who can't get a job that might

be

true that might be true but that has to

do with the brok

system if you could identify the top

1% like Elon Musk can like the big

companies can then you really need to be

able to get them but if you're a small

company and you're depending on somebody

in another country to tell you who their

top 1% are they're going to send whoever

they have and they're going to charge

you and if it goes wrong they'll just

have another customer who doesn't know

the difference next next time

so the the uh apparently 71% of trump

voters want to increase high-skilled

immigration but of course they don't

want to you know bring in people that

take American

jobs um and mus says there's a permanent

shortage of excellent engineering Talent

it's their biggest

problem

um and then I saw somebody arguing with

them somebody whose account is I am yes

you are no that's the name of the

account and said to Elon there are over

330 million people in America surely

there must be enough among them to build

your ultimate team why would you deny

Real Americans that opportunity by

bringing foreigners

here now I'll tell you what Elon said

but I kind of already made this argument

he said your understanding of the

situation is upside down and backwards

of course my companies and I would

prefer to hire Americans and we

do that is much easier than going

through the incredible painful slow work

of Visa process however there's a dire

shortage of extremely talented and

motivated engineers in America he said

it's not about handing out opportunities

from some magical hat you don't get it

this is blindingly obvious when looking

at NBA teams as the physical differences

are so obvious to see however the mental

differences be between humans are far

bigger than the physical differences so

he's saying what I said which is is you

don't understand I'm talking about the

top

1% there there's not a bunch of

Americans waiting around to be hired

that are in the top 1% of engineering

that's just not a

thing um and if you Tred to train them

and and I and then I saw other people

saying but we have plenty of people who

were not top Engineers but you could

train them the companies should train

their own employees to become top

Engineers oh man you really don't

understand how the world works if you

think that works what you're going to

take the person who's who can write code

and you're going to turn them into a top

1% engineer with what your company

affords

never it would be the rarest thing if

that could ever work no the top

Engineers probably from the first day of

school had some kind of Advantage they

were brilliant but also their parents

probably were a certain kind of parents

and sent them to a certain kind of

school they were identified they got the

best training over years and years and

years in the best environment no you

can't take the janitor and turn him into

an engineer because you've got a good

training program that's not a thing it's

just not a

thing

um and then uh there's a huge amount of

what I would say is overt very obvious

racism that entered into the

conversation uh there's way more racism

against uh Indians and in the Americans

indian-americans than I was expecting

like when it when it all comes out in a

conversation like this it's it's a

little bit horrifying honestly and I'm

going to tell you something again

um have you ever spent time with a top

1% Indian or indianamerican technical

person I

have it's incredible it's incredible

and I I don't want to name names but you

you know some people I I would name

probably right not necessarily Engineers

but definitely top one percenters and if

you're thinking oh I don't want those

Indians in here because they're going to

change my culture again this would be a

huge blind spot do you know what the

Indians Living in America want to do

assimilate like

crazy I'm not going to tell you who says

this but there

some prominent indian-american who who

who jokes about just trying to be as

white as he can possibly be I mean he

says it jokingly but he has no interest

in taking Indian culture to America you

won't meet I don't think you'll meet an

Indian in America who says you know what

you know America has some advantages but

I'd really like I'd really like to bring

more of the Indian stuff over here now

they might want to wear the clothes for

one

generation that they certainly want to

eat their own food which by the way is

awesome Indian food not it's not for

everybody but personally I think it's

amazing

um you don't understand every everything

is an

assumption that doesn't hold if you're

talking about the top

1% if I dropped into your conversation

any top 1% Indian or

indian-american you wouldn't even know

you were talking to an Indian

you wouldn't even know you would just

think wow this this guy or this G are

like super smart and you would be

fascinated and you would want to hire

them for your company you're thinking

about the not

1% if we brought in a bunch of people in

the bottom half of capabilities well

yeah that's a big problem and maybe

you've met some people who are not at

the top 1% you said to yourself we don't

really need more of these do we well

maybe you're

right but that's not what anybody's

talking about we're talking about the

top 1% you you sit in a room with any of

the top 1centers and you will just walk

away impressed that's it that's the

whole

story all

right

um I saw somebody

say I saw somebody say to that

conversation online somebody with the

title unfilter truth that's the name of

their ex handle and after Elon said what

I just read to you he said I used to

have some faith in Elon but after this

post I'm done the mask is off Elon

supports erasing the culture and ethnic

identity of America to help grow his

bank account he's parasitic and

destructive I don't think you could

understand less what's going on here

again the the Indian

Engineers they they assimilate so

fast and they want to and they do it

really well

so no this that's a ridiculous

comment um I would also like to to

describe the

alternative so let's say we just close

it to all Engineers game that out for me

what's the future look like in your in

your view if we just closed all

immigration and didn't hire anybody from

India or any other country what would

that look like what's Plan

B well plan B is the end of

America as far as I can tell if you're

not hiring the best Engineers somebody

else is and eventually they'll catch up

to you and whoever has the most economic

clout will have the best military

they'll start using

it America's dominance in the world

would be fairly quickly disappeared

maybe in one generation so it's sort of

a one generation in the toilet for

America if we

don't really really try hard to get the

top 1% Engineers from from other

countries all

right

um apparently Indiana University is

teaching a course uh that says that the

white people are inherently

oppressors because their race and sex

and religion and uh apparently you're

divided into teams in one of the one of

the required classes and uh if you're a

white Christian M or male you're

automatically labeled an oppressor

all

right don't send your kids to Indiana

University apparently it's just a

garbage University it it must be

populated with idiots and racists don't

go there just don't go to Indiana

University sounds like they are just

lost and racist of course you saw that

there was a plane crash the other day in

azani plane and you may have seen the

video where it seemed to be going up

before it went down and then it crashed

and then they showed pictures of it with

strange holes in the

hole and I looked at the strange holes

based on the pictures and I said oh it's

obvious that there was shrapnel and that

the shrapnel was on the inside and you

could tell from the holes that something

from the the an side pushed to the

inside because they look like you know

bullet holes that indented if it if the

explosion had come from the inside the

holes would be opposite so I'm no

Aviation

expert but as soon as they showed it to

me I said oh it looks like some military

asset exploded near them and further I

assumed that there was not a direct hit

because a direct hit would have you know

blown it apart in the sky and there'd be

a bigger hole in smoke before it went

down so it looks like and one of the

reports suggested that maybe there was a

anti-russian missile attack against

possibly a drone that they thought was

criminal or they thought was the other

side and maybe there was an explosion in

the air and some of the shrapnel hit

this plane and and it had to do an

emergency landing so I think that's

what's happened but

um why didn't the experts say what I

said on day

one cuz the holes were very obviously an

external explosion

that created random random shrapnel that

was from the outside in I mean if I

could tell and I've no experience in

this field whatsoever if I could tell

how many of you could tell you saw the

same thing I saw right most of you when

you looked at it you knew that that was

shrapnel right and you knew it from the

outside

in so why did it take like a day for us

to have some expert tell us that I know

uh meanwhile that you know that border

wall that Biden was trying to sell off

the pieces before Trump got in office

but apparently that's taken care of

now um because the auctioneer um already

agreed and maybe he was going to do it

anyway but when Trump and everybody

started complaining about it the person

whose job it was to sell them said maybe

I'll hold these until Trump gets in

office I assume the auctioneer is a

Republican don't know that but

citizen so you you all worried about the

government you know Biden trying to sell

these things for nothing and then you're

like oh I hope the new government can

stop the Old Government it turns out all

you needed was one Auctioneer with

common

sense remember I keep telling you common

sense is is like our unifying theme for

at least people on the the right and

people who agree with the right on some

things common sense the

auctioneer made the only smart

decision and he said well if I've got a

new Administration and they might not

want to sell it I shouldn't sell it

today I should just put it in a pile and

sell other things and wait a few weeks

and see what happens so thank

you thank you Auctioneer so there there

was a citizen who stepped up looked at

the situation and said huh doesn't seem

to make much sense that I would sell

them you know instead of waiting till

next month and if they still want to

sell them because remember part of the

story is that they might be damaged and

they're they're not the good parts of

the wall so it could be that they nobody

actually wants them but he's still smart

to wait for the incoming Administration

to say what do you want to do with these

so good on you

Auctioneer

um so the ukrainians are bragging about

their new model for building lots of

drones which involves

a capitalist approach so they're letting

their drone makers compete and make

money and that apparently is causing

their drone

industry uh small as it was to grow

quickly and they think that they can uh

make more drones than Russia because

Russia has that you know crappy you know

constipated economy and it's sort of

central a little more Central planning

and stuff so so the ukrainians think

that they can out compete using the free

market within Ukraine um it's not really

free market because probably American

money buys all the

drones I'm guessing it's American money

that buys them all but it's still from

their point of view it's still just a

competitive free

market but here's the numbers so they

think they can make 200,000 drones in

the coming year there are roughly

500,000 Russian soldiers

200,000 drones would kill how many

soldiers well it depends what kind they

are some of them might be surveillance

and stuff but in general it's about one

to one now so the the most updated

information is that one well-designed

drone even the small ones little hobby

siiz drones um it can locate one soldier

and it can pretty accurately just dive

bomb and explode and kill that one

person sometimes

it can kill more than one person let's

say they're in some kind of vehicle or

something and so on average you know

sometimes they'll get knocked down by

anti-d drone stuff sometimes something

goes wrong but on average 200,000 drones

is going to kill about 200,000

soldiers now even if he cut that in

half can Russia lose 100,000 soldiers

just to drones next year well probably

they can because Putin's really dug in

and he doesn't want to lose but how many

drones are they going to make the year

after because if it doubles every

year the year after maybe they make

400,000 drones maybe the United States

and other countries in NATO are also

making drones like crazy and using what

they've learned in the Ukraine war to

make sure these are really good killer

drones so what happens if

if in 18 months or two years let's say

worst case scenario the the war

continues for two more years I think

they would have enough drones to kill

every Russian soldier and and the

Russians would have enough to kill you

know maybe half or twoth thirds of the

Ukrainian

forces but if you're

Putin and you feel like you're winning

you're in the cat bird seat and you're

going to negotiate hard

but suppose I said this before suppose

president Trump sat down with Putin he

said here's the deal one drone kills one

of your soldiers if we don't make a deal

that works for us I'm going to make sure

Ukraine has 1 million killer

drones in 18 months and your arm is just

going to disappear we're going to

evaporate them now he'll say well if you

did that I would have to use nuclear

weapons and then Trump says to him

no you

won't because if you do we will so your

best case scenario is just the

negotiate basically keep what you've

already taken and let's wind this thing

down no no I will use nuclear weapons no

you won't you're not going to use any

nuclear weapons that would be dumb you

you've already got most of what you want

how about we just make a deal so when we

talk about could Trump make a deal in

one day

he can if he puts enough pressure on you

know he would probably also say we're

going to your economy and turn

off your EXT whatever pipelines you got

left and all that but uh I think a

million

drones would be the entire story yeah

we've got a million drones and that's

what you're looking at

next anyway uh Ukraine is apparently

taking a tip from the IDF and they're

disguising bombs to kill senior

officials but they're disguising them as

sort of ordinary items like a like a

phone charger but it' be really a bomb

and some kind of document folder that's

a bomb it's according to the New York

Post so I guess the ukrainians are

trying to do decapitation strikes with

the leadership of the uh

Russians

and um that's probably a good strategy

for

negotiating because you know that

obviously they can replace leadership it

probably doesn't make much difference as

long as it's not Putin um but if you

were in the in the level that they were

targeting and you had an option of

settling the war and not be

targeted oh you know I I think you might

say to yourself you know you know Putin

this might be the time to negotiate an

end to this because you know my neighbor

who's got a job like me just got

assassinated so so um here's a topic

which I have not been into but um I

found myself horrified when I dug down

one inch which is RFK Jr's book about

fouchy and I guess he was on Dell Big

Trees podcast talking about it

and I don't quite understand the

fullness of these stories but I'll read

you what I saw maybe you can fact check

me if this is accurate or not but the

claim is

uh that fouchi was somehow involved in

testing drugs on children but he picked

foster homes so that the children had no

parents be and that and there were

massive you know injuries and that he

did it more than

once some were in America some in Africa

now I'm going to call these

allegations because really

like I I can't really wrap my head

around uh the enormity of how evil this

would be if it's

true so I'm a little skeptical but I'm

mostly skeptical about my own

understanding of the

story so that that's where my skep my

skepticism is on myself because I don't

know all the det I haven't read the book

I just saw some summary about it but now

i' I've heard it before that was trying

to test things in Africa and Bill Gates

was trying to test things in Africa but

I don't think that's necessarily a

mistake is

it if you knew there was something that

would be really good for Africa and

really good for the rest of the world if

you could test it and there was only one

place you could legally and practically

test

it I can see why you'd talk yourself

into testing it in Africa and if it

doesn't go well there's going to be

deaths and maybe you knew that you would

have less problem s if he did it in

Africa and maybe you would have fewer

problems if it was kids who didn't have

biological parents in their

lives

so I'm willing to believe that this

level of evil actually happened for

profit but I'm still skeptical that I

understand it well enough and that

there's no counterargument to it so I'm

going to put this in my oh my God this

looks awful

but maybe there's more to the

story all right well I always tell you

there's a new battery breakthrough now

there's uh Engineers Engineers top 1%

probably uh developed Ultra fast

charging battery according to the cool

down and Rick casmer was writing about

it um that would make batteries and this

case it would be the existing kind of

batteries the lithium I think uh they

just add some simple

chemical uh what is it is Betadine so

you've probably heard of Betadine I

think that's the brand name it's a

common um thing that might be in your

medicine cabinet and they just add that

to sort of existing technology and it

gives us this huge increase in

performance such an increase that it

might make electric planes

practical um and 600 mile trips on one

charge and and charging your phone like

right away and and it doesn't look like

it would be super hard to put it into

production I'm sure they have to do more

testing but it it was such a big and

instant change and it's from a substance

which apparently is not hard to

manufacture you don't have to mine it so

once again big breakthrough in potential

batteries

um bre bar news is reporting Ian henet

is writing that uh um the Senate Intel

chair

who is Mark Warner he says that uh even

civilian drones from China are risks

because they might be controlled by the

CCP now I don't know what kind of a

control they would have but it does feel

like a risk I think the risk is we don't

know if they're trying to control them

or

not um if they are it's it's a

problem and then Frank Bergman of slay

news said that there's a secret fiser

report that reveals a 40% spike in heart

conditions among the covid vax to uh use

the fizer

product and apparently this report was

Kept

Secret and it just recently was

revealed um study found that the

vaccinated cohort had a 23 to 40% higher

risk of a heart related

condition do you believe that

do you think the data is

accurate remember I told you

that uh all data that matters is fake

and then I also told you but I'll bet

there's some I'll bet there's some

exceptions like special

cases this might be one of those special

cases and the reason I say that is

because they tried to conceal it if they

had not tried to conceal it and fizer

was touting it

almost certainly I wouldn't trust it

because if they're touting it yeah but

if they're hiding

it why would they hide data that's

incorrect all they'd have to do is put a

memo on it that says oh uh this data is

not can't be trusted because there was a

problem in the way we collected it right

so if they knew it was fake or anybody

knew that the assumptions or what made

it fake if anybody knew that they would

have put notes on it that says well we

can't trust this and that's why we're

not releasing it we can't release it

because we don't trust it to be true but

what if they did trust it to be true and

so they hit it I mean that's that's the

allegation is that he hit it this might

be an obvious exception where you could

trust that it's true because it was bad

for the people who were hiding it who

also created probably created the data

themselves

so that ladies and gentlemen is our

corrupt world and that's all I had for

you today I hope your stocks are up oh

man I went long I'm going to say hi to

the uh locals people but we won't stay

along I'm already taking too much of

your time even though I know it's a

holiday week and the other podcasters

are probably on vacation and you're so

glad that I'm here how many people are

here it looks like we got a pretty big

crowd today there's not much else to

watch is

there all right locals I'm coming at you

now and the rest of you I will see you

tomorrow same time same place I hope you

enjoyed yourself and uh 30 seconds until

we're locals

only but if I push the button and it

doesn't work which is happening right

now then I will not be going private

with

locals because it doesn't work all right

so there's a temporarily

a a glitch all right locals I will see

you tonight in the man cave

uh you know when I usually try to hit

you know 4:30 5:00 but I'm not too exact

about it um I think what I'll try to do

locals people is when I have a good idea

when I'm going to go live for the man

cave I I'll post it maybe 15 minutes

before so that uh there's time for you

to get your alert and you you'll know

when it is so I'll make that adjustment

but I won't be able to go private with

you right now

cuz these buttons are not working try

one more

time nope the go private is not working

all right everybody I'll see you

tomorrow thanks for joining bye for

now oh

no okay so ending the stream also failed

so I have to close the app and reopen it

just to close it again so I'm going to

disappear and reappear but uh the the

show is over I'll see you tomorrow
