Episode 2713 CWSA 01/07/25

we're going to have a show I think let me get your comments working here perfect Perfecto well if you're listening to this and not viewing it you don't know that there's a Dilbert comic that's up on the screen I hope you see it uh and Dilbert he's training his elbonian replacement and the boss says to Dilbert good news after you train your elbonian replacement I'll be reducing payroll expenses while being more diverse it's a twofer and dber says will you be treating him like a slave and the boss says oh right it's a ther so always always up on the current trends all right let's see if I can change that screen back to me there we go how goodlooking I am well you may Wonder uh if I drink enough coffee will it cause a reduction in my OCD well yes I will all right let's make this official good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I don't think you've ever had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels where they can never understand it in Greenland and Panama and those other places we're going to conquer all you need for that is a cuper muger a glass of tanker chal ofstein a Canen Jugger flask vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now exceler well so I've got lots of tech news and a bunch of bunch of political news uh Al I'm going to say most of the tech news too after the political stuff but there a couple of cool things uh CES the the technology show is happening right now for 2025 and one of the things that's being introduced is a 3D projector now not the kind that projects on a flat screen and it gives it you know the appearance of being 3D it actually creates the 3D holograph and can put it on your table and have a dance in front of you now I don't know if they can do it with photo realistic stuff they did it with an animation so you look at the table and and sitting on the table apparently is a little character that's dancing right in front of you in uh as a 3D object kind of amazing I didn't think that was going to come well I did a little uh deeper dive on Quantum Computing because I was trying to understand I've told you this before uh when I hear people explain how it works or why it works it sounds like word salad and I thought to myself H I guess maybe it's because I don't have the technology background but if I did I'd understand that word salad and I went deeper and deeper and I'm I'm quite sure that nobody knows why it works I'm fairly positive and you've heard things like I think Joe Rogan said this the other day the quantum Computing works because it accesses the Infinity of other dimensions nothing like that's happening there there's nothing like accessing other dimensions that's not happening uh we don't know what is happening but there's no indication it's accessing another dimension if there is one what is it even so the the things they say are things like well you know the this probability wave uh interferes with another one and between the two of them they can predict the future without using any logic or any calculation they just see the future and and that future they see could be like the solution to a difficult you know uh problem like a math problem or and I say to myself really you just interfere a couple of probabilities and then you can see the future so what Quantum Computing is alleging to do is literally see the future or or to peer into the past I guess too none of this is really possible as far as I know so I thought to myself it must be me right there just because I don't understand the field and I've now seen two experts who do understand it kind of suggest that nobody understands it and we don't know if it could ever even be commercial in a in a big way I mean it might have some Niche you know specific things it can do but it's never going to be a general computer um so forget about having your own quantum computer it doesn't look like that's going to happen but Nvidia just created a three 3,000 personal AI supercomputer and it's uh it's only this little box which if you wanted to work on AI if if I understand it right it would be like a um a data center in a tiny little box so if you were working with AI instead of having to access a data center you can access this little box on your desk and apparently you have like full AI capability so I don't know the ins and outs and the pluses and minuses of doing that versus having access to the uh actual full data center but it's got 200 billion parameters and it looks like a big deal and then they also they also have a secret chip that's going to go in humanoid robots so uh with all those new introductions I guess the stock for NVIDIA would be and it's down I don't know maybe people expected more seemed pretty impressive to me I think Nvidia is over worth well over3 trillion dollar now and you know they're they're talking about things that looks like it would have a big impact on Tesla because um if they put these humanoid chips and robots does Tesla buy some of those chips or do they have their own chips for the robots so I don't know who's smart enough to know if any of these Nvidia things have any impact on Tesla's future but I don't know we'll see um in the guardian they're saying that virtual employees could come this year in other words a a AI agent that can take instructions and act like a person and get things done I'm GNA go contrary I'm going to say it won't happen and that's based on my experience where I tried to create over the summer I tried a lot I I worked pretty hard on it trying to create a AI agent that could just answer some questions on my dilbert.com web page and what I learned is it doesn't look like it's possible and here's the problem with the current AI which which would be different from the future versions which are AGI but the one that uses a large language model and just use patterns it can't answer the questions reliably because it hallucinates and you can't stop it and even if you have a database and you say AI uh do you see this database yes I can read it can you tell me something that's on the page yes here it is you go okay you can definitely read the data here's my instructions when I ask you a question only look at this database which is just a document and and only answer from that okay got it and then you ask a question it'll just make something up without even looking at the document so that was UN commercial product there was actually a launched commercial product that as far as I can tell doesn't work and I don't think there was any competitor so there was nobody who had figured out how to make it stop hallucinating and as far as I know it might not be possible because the large language models don't just follow rules they've got a whole different you know mechanism I don't think you could make that reliable I think bi its nature it's unreliable and I don't know that you could tweak it fix it patch it I don't think you can get there from here so that's why they need the AGI that would be a whole different technology that we haven't seen yet I don't think it's invented but I guess they Sam mman thinks are getting close and it could happen pretty soon um but I'm going to go contrarian and say the current AI is not going to create an employee that you can rely on uh so I'm contrarian there all right so there were at least two things that were fake news that I reposted yesterday without knowing there were fake news now how much worse is this going to get how many times am I going to get fooled by something that really looks real um it didn't make much difference one of them was um a parody that showed a company that would be the reconstituted Enron creating a nuclear egg you know something you could hold in your arms there would be a nuclear power plant for your personal home it was just like a big egg and the commercial for it was really well done it had specifications and how to use it and everything uh but it was parody it wasn't labeled clearly parody though so I looked at it and I'm looking for the parody part I didn't I didn't see parody so I reposted it thought but I asked at least I was at least I was aware enough to say is this real when I reposted it but if it was real it' be a big deal it wasn't real it's not real so I think that they cheated um the rules on X is that it must be clearly labeled it was labeled but I think the whole clearly part you maybe is in question meanwhile there's a new study according to just the news Stephen Richards is writing that new study says that Tik Tok suppresses anti-china content so it has both anti and pro-china content but it suppresses the anti and promotes the other now is there anybody you know who's been telling you this for years is there anybody who said uh uh you know the that China is got their finger on this and there's no way that this is all you know objective I I talked to a Tik Tock user the other day and I I mentioned it was going to be you know it would be banned unless an American buys it and and I said it's because you know it could be persuasive in a way we don't like and the person I talk to said but you don't understand you don't use Tik Tok if you did you know that I see both sides of every story and I said do you how do you know well because I see both sides sides now I think that's true I think both sides of every story are in fact on Tik Tok but the problem is which one do you see the most and who sees it and as I explained to the Tik Tok user who she'll remain anonymous I said uh what if what if there are some people using Tik Tok that Tik Tok can tell for sure they cannot be influenced meaning that you're a hard Democrat or you're hard Republican you're not going anywhere but do you think that Tik Tok can identify people who are on the fence cuz everything depends on the people on the fence The Independents do you think it can identify an independent and if it did do you think the independent would get exactly as much you know content as you're seeing so the thing is that you can't tell if persuasion is happening you just see what you see and if the only thing you knows that you're seeing both sides you don't know if you're the person they're trying to influence and maybe you're not so maybe you're just seeing regular content but uh there's no way that they're going to keep their finger off the button if it's so easy to move the you know persuasion needle so anyway this it's not peer reviewed yet but it will be so maybe it's not valid we'll see what the peer review says but I think it's just so obvious you know you could have just asked me you didn't have have to do the study do you think China will use this to influence the world duh duh so China did make a weapon of mass persuasion and uh Kevin o seems to be one of the people who part of a group looking to buy it so it would stay Tik Tock could stay in business but become an American thing with American data and American control I don't know if that's going to happen but we'll see all right um oh so the Washington Post is reporting uh according to the New York Post is reporting about the Washington Post um that Trump uh is talking about scaling back his tariff threats and making them more about specific Industries instead of making them broad now here's my question why is the Washington Post working against the interests of the United States 100% of the people watching the story know that Trump is using tariffs for negotiation everybody knows it do you think the Washington Post doesn't know that he's using it for negotiations so the main thing that you do if you're negotiating is you come in with your hardest offer you know the the toughest one so that you can negotiate from that should you need to so Trump has been consistent oh yeah we're we're going to tariff everything from Canada if we have to or everything from China I don't know if he says that but but he acts like the Tariff is just going to be wonderful and great and good for the country and and then the smart people say but but it's like he doesn't understand tariffs he doesn't know that the American company pays for it not the you know not the foreign company shipping in to which I say settle down it's for negotiating he doesn't have to he doesn't have to say your version in order for this to work he has to pretend I'll say pretend that he wants tariffs so badly and they're so good that the more tariffs he has the happier he's going to be and then go into the negotiation but the Washington Post is trying to kneecap him they they're broadcasting to the world that he doesn't mean his his starting position what are they trying to accomplish is that just trying to ruin the country are they just is just an anti-American entity and they they decide what to write about based on how bad it is for America now I don't think that's the case but it looks like it why why does it look like it I guess they they want to attack Trump in any way they can so there's still a resistance publication they're nowhere near the middle and they think this is somehow what what advancing the interests of who who and then of course you have to ask the question what would tariffs do to amazon.com probably not good for business so this is a kind of reporting that um even though it's uh I'm sure it's accurate I don't think it's inaccurate but this is the sort of thing you should brush over as in some people say that you know it's a negotiating position that's not telling anybody anything but if you say it's a negotiating position and he's already saying that he's not going to stick with it well that's not reporting that's just ruining his negotiating position that's like getting in the story so very unhappy about that well yesterday the Democrats um who have been saying for eight years that Trump is Hiller uh they were quite proud of their peaceful transfer of power to Hiller do you think that anybody in their base has noticed that they called him Hitler for eight years said he's the biggest risk to America and then they're acting proud that they rolled over and gave him the win to protect democracy that's right the Democrat message is Trump is Hitler and we're going to protect democracy by peacefully putting him into power um does anybody on their side see that is it just us are we the only ones who see that nothing they did makes sense unless unless the primary thing they've been telling you for eight years was known to be a lie when they said it which is the case obviously it was a lie unbelievable just unbelievable then Biden is going to release 11 yemeni detainees from guano moay in other words people with suspected terrorist Tendencies two of them were I think uh Osama Bin Laden's bodyguards but the Biden Administration is assuring us that they've been either rehabilitated or vetted and checked down and they just want to send them to Oman to which I say om man how is that a good idea now if he said we're just doing it to save money then at least I could say well seems like a dangerous thing but at least it say his money but they're not really saying that does this it looks like a prank it it looks like somebody sat down and say all right what's the worst thing we could do well let's let's do something that's just like so indefensible that it'll just be funny like why is it that his actual policies are indistinguishable from what I would call a practical joke like that would be a good practical joke oh we're going to free a bunch of terrorists why it's just the power the president has I I know but but why well we're going to release 11 them to Oman but why well we checked them out and uh you know we think this is a good play but what do you know that we don't know unless you've put internal bombs in them so they blow up when they reach Oman how is this good for America it's it's it looks like a joke meanwhile CNN's Harry enton um did a survey and asked people what their biggest memories of trump were from prior Administration and apparently the January 6 event um only 5% of the people surveyed said that was their biggest memory of trump now this poll is ridiculous so if you thought oh that's telling me something the whole world has moved on no the question was you know what's the first thing you remember and Trump is somebody who reminds you of a hundred things so if you ask a poll and you say What's the the biggest one and they don't pick January 6 I don't think that means they don't care about it I mean I don't think people do care about it that much but I don't think this poll is useful what's interesting is that CNN would feature it because it it has the it I I think it's a you know biased absurd poll with no no credibility whatsoever but it's on CNN and it's unambiguously Pro Trump meaning that the country doesn't care about the thing that they've been reporting on for a for what four years the country doesn't care was CNN's reporting which would be consistent with their you know decline in ratings so forget about the accuracy of the poll just look at the fact that it was on CNN at all that's kind of interesting apparently speaking of pranking the Biden Department of Justice is going to bring 200 more uh people up on charges for January 6 and not this January 6 you know the original now the Gateway pundits reporting this why in the world would they do that don't they know that they're just going to be granted clemency or pardon like it just again this one looks like okay that's a prank right that like you're not serious are you you're you're actually going to charge 200 more spend all that money and all that time to ruin their lives when you know they're going to be released how in the world does that make sense like none of it looks real it just doesn't look like real people made these decisions it looks like a bad dream or a prank or practical joke or something well one of the big fun stories today is that Mark Zuckerberg did a video in which he says he's quite radically going to change how Facebook um sleta is censoring and he seems to have gone to full Trump um he said that the Trump election was sort of a cultural pivot point so he starts out by saying directly that the mood of the country is very clearly you know magal looking and that he wants to adapt to it now these are my words not his exact words but very clearly he was saying you know we live in a in a world in which Trump won the majority and Facebook would be better off as a company if it started to be more compatible with that point of view now that point of view is less censorship and you know better processes for the censorship so he described what he's going to do which is remarkable now as I'm talking about this I know exactly what you're going to be thinking you're going to say to me Scott but what about all the terrible terrible things he did in the past with Facebook you know Banning people and censoring and all that those are true things that I don't care about because I don't live in the past if I lived in the past I would care about it now you might say but but Scott what took him so long to which I say everything good takes too long I'm not going to judge him for taking too long I'm going to be happy if it's a good idea so I think and I I'll tell you more details but I think he is right on point it's one of the most brilliant CEO moves you'll ever see he is so smart and again I know that you're going to say but but I'm so mad at him I can't get over it I get it I get it you don't like what he did in the past and I'm not defending it I'm just saying that the moves he's making now probably are exactly what he says and they're good listen to this um he's going to get rid of fact checking he's going to get rid of the fact Checkers because they're biased what does that sound like that's Mega that's that's pure Mega the fact Checkers are fake and you have to get so he's getting rid of them do you know what he's going to replace fact checking with he's going to copy Community notes from X and he says that's what he's going to do I'm going to basically copy X and use Community notes because it works so musk went first Community notes is quite successful I would say and um Zuckerberg noticed and so he's copying now it's not easy to be a social media Network and say um you see my kind of a competitor I'm just going to copy that because it was a good idea that that's what Zuckerberg can do like it's just brilliant but there's more um they're going to get rid of the automated sensoring and only consider sensing some situations where somebody's being reported so there'll still be things censored you know the the worst violent stuff you know the usual stuff but uh it won't be automated you'll have to report it now do you approve of that yes you do because you want humans to decide whether humans can can or cannot do so you don't want the algorithm deciding so yeah that's good um he says explicitly that the new process is going to let a lot more inappropriate stuff on the platform but that the principle of free speech is more important do you have a problem with that no that's that's America he just described a perfect Mega opinion about Free Speech it's messy it's violent sometimes it's dangerous but it's free speech and the alternative is worse now here's the one that will blow your mind the the moderation the human moderators apparently they're they're in California what's going to happen if your moderators live in California well it's all going to be liberal opinions of what should be allowed and what should not so here's what he's doing he's moving the moderation from California to Texas let that sink in for a moment he's moving the moderation from California because they're too biased to Texas does that sound like magga yeah it sounds like exactly what you would have done it's exactly what you would have done you would have moved it to Texas and he says he's going to this is this might be the the real money shot here he says he's going to work with Trump um to i' say influence or pressure other countries to not um try to put Facebook meta and a business and that's smart so he's completely aware that he needs the Trump Administration and the government of the United States to back him and and threaten other countries say look if you're going to censor us over there and that hasn't impact on our American company we're going to terar you or we're going to you know stop prot protecting you or something so I love this um so other some other countries probably had back doors and everything else and you want to get rid of that I think so a lot of people said is Zuckerberg just chasing the money and and this is not his own philosophical opinion he's just knows he has to do it to chase money to which I say so so well what why is that bad he's the head of a major uh commercial Enterprise he's not allowed to chase money chasing money means being compatible with the country you're serving so I don't care I don't care if that's his only motivation if it's his only motivation and he can clearly say that getting out of that censorship business is good for business working with Trump productively is good for business um supporting systems that would give you more free speech is good for business if the only thing he wanted to do is make money I would say good job excellent that you you nailed it if you just want to make money I'm completely supportive of that now some of you might say but but Scott it's a trick because he did all those things in the past to buy us a system it's pretty transparent he's either going to do these things he said or he's not I mean that moderation will either move to Texas or it won't you know the the automated the automated system will either catch things or it won't we can watch it's all transparent I I think it's brilliant because he was in a tough place and I think he's completely cognizant of the way Facebook and maybe even his personal donations to try to fix the elections uh fix as in improve um he probably knows that that was a huge mistake and that it distorted the system in a way that the syst system wasn't built to be distorted so to me it looks like he thought he was doing the right thing and thought he was working with the government of the time productively as he saw it I guess and now he knows that those are all mistakes and so he's doing a really hard pivot hard as in it's hard to explain it it's hard to you know especially to his own company imagine imagine how much trouble he's getting from his own employees today do you know how hard that would be to go against all your liberal employees and just do a pure mega version of of the service now when I say pure magga I want to be really careful with my words he's not saying I want to be right-wing when I say pure magga I mean just compatible with the Constitution and that's it it just we just want free speech so if he gives us that pretty happy we'll see I mean I agree with you that the jury's out he he has to perform but everything about his history suggest he knows how to perform all right so all good Wall Street Journal is talking about the success of Robbie Starbuck and I guess he's got a staff of people who are who have got now how many 15 public companies to change or abandon their Dei and lgbtq policies and what's interesting about this is you already knew Robbie Starbuck was having a lot of success there what's different is that it's now a big article in the Wall Street Journal do you know how big that is like every major corporation has somebody paying attention to the Wall Street Journal so it's one thing when you know Robbie Starbuck is bragging on X that things are working and he has a right to brag by the way he's doing amazing work um but once it's in the Wall Street Journal that's the thing that every business has to pay attention to you can't ignore the Wall Street Journal if you're in a business so it kind of It kind of raised Starbucks profile and it raised it in the context of he's winning like crazy that's how you want to be elevated because if he's winning like crazy and it's creating the uh creating a pattern in your brain that these big corporations that you figure is are no dumber than you are are making this change then the 16th 17th and 18th corporation that he talks to he's going to say I got 15 in a row do you think that's an accident no because if you say no uh the Wall Street Journal has already lifted my you know my visibility people like me with big accounts are uh backing him hard um we're in trouble so he is so he's very very cleverly assembled a set of supporters on X that are enormous you know just big accounts who are willing to say yeah do more of that so he he isn't using uh his own power he's doing such good work on behalf of people who have big accounts in the rest of the country I would say that uh we want to back him we want to see more of it so he's he's built a perfect little machine to R over the the Dei excesses perfect it's all good news Well you want me to talk about Don Jr uh recently just landed in Greenland maybe an hour ago and um it does seem that this trip he's with Charlie Kirk and some few other people and it does seem that the intention of the trip is to set the ground workor for a deal to buy it that's like a real thing and this again I I hate to be gushing about smart people doing smart things but can you even think of a smarter way for Trump to approach this than to have Don Jr of all people of all people Don Jr visit personally and interact with the residents now have you seen the early pictures the residents of Greenland are pretty happy that Don Jr's there now for one thing they probably don't get a lot of you know celebrity excitement so they got that going for them but they don't seem like liberals I don't know much about Greenland but you know from the little bit I've seen they seem like working class people who want to be left alone does that sound like anything you've heard of before Working Class People who just want the government to leave them alone I've got a feeling that there's a lot of smartness behind Trump's idea of buying Greenland that he might know that the population is just ready to be um seduced and if if Trump himself went there you would agree that would be the wrong move right at this point he's not even sworn in so it would it would definitely be the wrong move for Trump himself to go but who would be more perfect to basically seduce the the the blue color color people who probably like outdoorsy things they're probably just like Don Jr it's probably just a bunch of Greenland Don jors and he lands in the middle of it and I think he's here's what I think he's going to do first of all he takes this wild idea and he turns it concrete because there's a real person who really matters who's really there like it's not conceptual so Trump has already turned it from conceptual to its underway it's amazing the the the level of his persuasive um instincts are just crazy I mean I've never seen anything this good honestly so I ask you again is there anybody on the planet who would have been a better choice to send to Greenland today answer no best one on the planet for what I for what the intention is um is it likely that Don Jr will touch a lot of people meaning that a lot of people will know he's there see him interact with him yes there are only 56,000 people in the whole country of Greenland my my little town is twice that size he's going to be able to reach touch have some impact on a healthy little chunk of that and it's probably enough to make them all get serious about it now I think that the only thing required for Greenland to say yes is for the Greenland people to feel good about Trump how are you going to feel when he sends his son out to hang out with you you're going to feel good about it you're going to feel like oh this this Don Jr is like a regular guy Don Jr does the best job of being a rich guy acting like a regular guy now I don't think he's acting exactly I I think that's his actual personality um he's perfect for this job just perfect I love everything about this anyway um let's talk about these other countries um oh and just one last thing about Greenland I'm sure it would be good for Denmark to sell Greenland because they can't afford to protect it and it will be important to protect it going forward because the because the ice melting above it and Russia and China are going to be having their ships around there and it's got resources that people care about you know Rare Earth material minerals Etc so Denmark would not want to admit it because you know they'd rather stay in a negotiating mode and say no no there's no way we'd ever sell this but they would be better off I don't think they're getting a lot of uh International Prestige for being colonizers of Greenland are do they do the people in Denmark wake up and say ah feel good about my country because of our control of Greenland there's nothing in it for Greenland except expense yeah they're just paying for what's there so it's good it's good for Denmark it's probably good for Greenland almost certainly and it could be good for the United States and definitely good for Canada to have us protecting on both sides so that would put Canada between Greenland and Alaska if you can if you can tell me that there would be a safer place on Earth than being between our you know two assets of the United States it's a pretty good situation so I don't know if the deal is going to happen but it is in everyone's interest somewhat unambiguously like clearly obviously in everybody's interest I think he's going to get it done I think this will be amazing um meanwhile Trump also has talks about Canada becoming a state and he keeps he keeps joking about it but not really um which is fascinating now here's what I think you know it it sounded like just a you know a trumpian joke to make fun of Trudeau for being like a governor instead of a leader of the country but given what's happening in Canada I don't think we I don't think the United States can take a chance that a calipat forms on our northern border and that's what's happening now you might say Scott Scott there are so few uh Muslims in Canada that's you're crazy to which I say that's how it happens it happens with too few that's that's the whole way it happens you have too few and then you say well a few more wouldn't matter few more well no problem so far so why not have a few more and so far no problem stop being racist let's get a few more as some point when you reach around 10% of the population the radicals Within that group will come to control the moderates because radicals are willing to die for what they want the moderates are not they're just trying to get along so that the the most extreme people in any group tend to rise to control of it right it's just natural it's has nothing to do with Islam it's just the Natural Way anything works the the most the people are willing to die for it literally are going to be in charge um or die trying so I don't think we can take a chance that Canada is heading really hard toward getting that 10% population which could easily turn into the seeds of a caliphate and we could have we could have an Islamic country in our northern border that's no good because of the compatibility with the systems so so um the other thing is that if you put into the mix that you might want to buy can Canada or have them merge with us I guess not buy it it makes the Greenland thing seem more normal you know somebody was pointing out that that Trump is ruining the uh what is it the Overton window or something uh so he's got so many things going on that you don't know where to stop to criticize them you're you're just like whipped from one topic to another so I love the fact that you Sim simultaneously talking about uh Panama Canal Canada and Greenland it that's just so trumpy and perfect to be talking about all of them at the same time it's very strategically smart because even if he just wants one of them to happen or two of them it's good to throw Canada in the mix so as you know Trudeau is stepping down I saw it um eventually he announced it and I saw um Scott Jennings the Republican guy that they have on CNN who does a great job and he said that the the removal or the leaving or the quitting of uh Trudeau uh you could draw a direct line from the Canadian truckers situation do you think that's true do you think that the evil that he put on the Canadian truckers for protesting you know canceling their Banking and you know just my god do you think that that was sort of the the thing that pushed Canada over the line and even eventually led to Trudeau having to step down do you think there is a straight line I think there is obviously it took more than that but yeah I I think the the trucker kind of got it done so congratulations Canadian truckers BJ um Take a Bow I know he's listening all right um so should we talk about Elon Musk angering Canada or angering Britain or uh let's see angering Germany or angering France where would you like me to start so after Elon Musk becomes the you know determinant factor maybe for why Trump gets elected he seems to change you know change his Focus or for at least some of his time on other countries and so let's just run through the list of who who is made mad recently um so up in Canada there's a report we don't know if it's true some musk asked for a fact check on it but uh allegedly some islamists in Canada are holding a uh conference which again is not confirmed it's just being reported uh on how to defeat All non-muslim Nations and create a global caliphate now they're pretty far away from having enough power to do that sort of thing but the way it starts is with a first meeting to talk about it so so elon's looking at that with a one eyebrow up like the rest of us should be um and of course he's accused of racism so so Canada has the that problem that we've kind of solved in the United States and I'll call it the Andrew Breitbart solution it goes like this you wanting to close the border you're a racist you're racist you're racist and then as Andrew Breitbart teaches you say so well but you're racist you're racist you're racist so yeah and I don't think that's literally what's happening but and I don't think that anybody wants to be a racist and they're not they're not they're racist they're just not interested in your opinion that's the win the win is to not be interested so yeah yep yep that's true so but Canada still thinks that if they complain about somebody being a racist that that the person they complain about will have to change their ways and apologize and get in line to which Elon Musk does not say but may indeed be thinking so that's what that's what Canada needs just two letters so yeah yeah that this would be terribly bad for one group everything is so you'll get there um the other fake news that I sent around yesterday accidentally was a video of Trudeau resigning uh in a bar watching it and as it happened the bar erupted in Wild cheers that that was actually a fake video the bar was real but they were reacting to a sporting event but somebody put Trudeau on the TV screen and it made it look like they were they were celebrating his his stepping down but that was fake news um all right so you think things are bad in the UK If I had to describe to you how bad things are going in the UK what would be the fewest words that I could use to describe how bad it is over there well I'll see if I can do it the fewest words to describe how bad things are in the UK all right how I'm going to go with this Andrew Tate's running for prime minister um anything else you need to know but it gets better now first of all I do know that you don't run for prime minister so before you jump in and say Scott you don't understand the system they you know the prime minister is selected by the other elected people to be their leader blah blah blah I don't care he he says he's running for prime minister which presumably he knows he needs to get into the government and then be part of a party that has enough support to make him the prime minister so I'm not worried about the details now uh Andrew Tate is serious you serious about it now but he also says whether he wins or loses he can sort of force the conversation to be about the things they need to talk about and he can bring attention to the worst parts of their system and he can now I'm going to say something that will shock you because you're not going to be ready for this remember in 2015 when I was the one of the first people in the country besides you know Anne Coulter to say that uh you don't understand Trump's like not like normal people he has this persuasion skill stack that will eviscerate anything he comes in contact with that challenges him until he has hollowed out the Republican party and become president now of course everybody laughed at me and said you're so stupid because he's just a crazy clown and he doesn't have any government experience so I can tell you one thing a crazy clown with oh oh and he also has like lots of you know scandals like probably did things with women that you don't like does that sound familiar well you may know that there was some press coverage that Andrew Tate had um at least for some number of years I don't know if he's still does uh an actual hypnotist who was in his inner circle an actual hypnotist like not somebody who just read up on it when you saw his popularity rise did it seem to you like it was unnatural like how in the world did he pull that off and become like the the number one thing on a lot of uh internet and the answer is he he has the talent stack now you don't have to like him I don't like him right so you might know I have a little history with him and we're not friends I don't endorse him I don't think I want him to be the Prime Minister of Great Britain but nonetheless if you were looking at it as just a talent a talent story does he have the talent to break through the system and the answer is yes the answer is yes because he has the ability to mobilize males and if he gets enough of them he's just Trump it's a trump strategy the the men in Great Britain are completely underserved and know it they just don't have any politician who's willing to say men you're underserved let's change that if Andrew Tate gets enough traction that the men of Great Britain hear him say that or some version of men you're completely underserved I'm going to help you protect the country I know you want to but the government's preventing you now we're going to protect the country we're going to keep out you know the bad elements Etc now I'm assuming and you know get rid of the grooming gangs and stuff like that now what's interesting is that t allegedly is converted to Islam so is it possible he would get some Muslim support as long as he's said some version of you know I'm Muslim too but you guys are crazy you know we're not going to make a caliphate that's crazy I'm going to prevent you from trying to form a caliphate I'm going to prevent you from trying to create your own Society within England I'm going to stop it and I'm one of you I'm one you and I'm going to stop it that'd be pretty strong right you know Trump went from Democrat to Republican is it a stretch that take went to Islam and then he could control not control but he would be influential potentially with other Islamic citizens and with men we already know he has a superow because men kind of like his you know audacious they like the whole Act so here's the thing I'm going to warn you about I wouldn't bet that he will become prominent in um the UK political system I would bet against it I would bet against it however if you think it's crazy or you think he doesn't have the talent you're wrong he has the talent he does have the talent he has the talent to to just hollow out their entire government and wear it like a suit like Trump did exactly like Trump did so if you don't think there's a path there's a path there's a path I would bet against it but there's a path um all right the only the only defense that they could have against his persuasive abilities would be the legal system just put them in jail and of course control of the media so the media never gives him any attention so that might work I don't know if it's enough didn't work in America um let's see uh so so musk did a poll on X he said uh you wanted to response to this America should Liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government 58% people said yes I have no idea how serious he is about that I don't think it's serious I I think he's just you sort of making a point and trolling them a little bit uh but but now the UK prime minister that care Kier starmer who needs a name I can pronounce I demand he changed his name uh is accusing musk of spreading misinformation blah blah blah they're all mad and then other countries like uh France so macron and France um is uh complaining that uh musk is interfering with other countries so what did musk say when macron um said in public that musk was interfering with other countries musk says oh like the time Stormer called uh real Donald Trump a racist and said the British government should do everything to stop him that happened good point or how about when Storer sent British labor party members to campaign in the US against President Trump was that interfering and those aren't even the good ones you want a good one have you heard of something called the steel dossier where an ex intelligence person from the UK came up with this whole fake thing yeah an X intelligence person from the UK there's no X intelligence people that was just the Great Britain interfering with with the United States that's what that was um and then my funniest part was this a a British politician named ed Davy he went on X to speak his mind he said quote people have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country's democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain it's time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming Us official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown um so there's nothing funnier than a person saying that Elon Musk doesn't understand their complicated situation because you know that not that's not been his domain to which I say really Elon Musk doesn't understand a complicated thing and doesn't have the ability to get up to speed really quickly cuz I mean how could he come on listen to Jordan Peterson's book I probably won't all right so nothing's funnier than telling Elon Musk he can't handle a complicated situation and Elon said in response said what exactly do I fail to understand about your failure to stop the Mass rape of little girls in Britain you sniveling cron okay that covers it no nothing else to say but but the audacity of the sniveling creedon Ed Davy to imagine that his world is the complicated kind that somebody who somebody like Elon Musk could possibly understand like oh well we don't understand the complications of why you're allowing these horrific crimes yeah maybe he doesn't know the Nuance I swear every time somebody says that Elon Musk is dumb or doesn't understand something I just shake my head it's like have you watched anything he's done for the last 30 years anyway it's literally all he does the reason he's world famous is he enters domains in which he knows nothing about and almost immediately is the best one in the domain like that's literally what he does all right um and uh car starmer said he's considering cutting ties with the US unless Donald Trump distan himself from Elon Musk to which I say it's about time yeah why why don't we cut our diplomatic um cut our diplomatic ties I'm totally okay with that I I I think if if the UK is really threatening free speech in America in America and Elon is in America and he has free speech if they're going to attack United States because of free speech of anybody doesn't matter if he's part of the government elected not elected advisor citizen recent you know recent citizen it doesn't matter he gets to say anything he wants you know within within certain decency standards um so now if Great Britain is trying to squelch the free speech of anybody in America we should cut ties we've done it before yeah we should cut ties um then of course mus is uh has been advocating I think for the what they call the farri alternative party in Germany the afd now the story part of the story you need to understand is that when musk says the quote far right party in Germany is is the one that would do a better job it's not far right so that's just something the news says if you looked at their far right it would sort of look like Maga you know that that's my understanding now uh unlike Elon I don't know a lot about Germany so I'm not going to pretend to but uh I don't think it's true that there's some kind of extremist group I do think maybe they had something in their past like that but remember the Democrats have the KKK in their past but if you hold it against them today that would be just stupid and I see people doing it and I I just always bristle when I see that it's like that was a long time ago if they're not currently if they're not currently supporting the KKK and they couldn't be further from it then it doesn't really matter what they did in the past all right then there's a let's see um uh he's so Emanuel macron is directly accusing musk of interfering with elections including Germany and I guess that's all I need to say about that one um meanwhile you heard that uh we've already talked about this Biden banned offshore oil drilling before he leaves office and only in certain places that there isn't a lot of drilling right now um so I don't know how big a deal it is in the in the real world but uh it looks like he was just trying to kneecap Trump so Trump couldn't allow drilling there um but here's the weird part all the experts are saying it's it's irreversible that Trump doesn't have any way to back out of it and has to do with h a previous Court ruling called Chevron deference I'm going to get all this wrong because this is you know not my expertise the law but as best I understand it there was some prior situation that went to the Supreme Court in which an agency of the government had made a ruling that we should do something this way and somebody else said no you can't do it that way we're going to stop you or reverse it and then the Supreme Court said we're not going to reverse an agency's opinion unless you've got a really strong reason that that is beyond just we have a different opinion and so as long as it's just a difference of opinion of how things should be and nothing more than that the courts won't touch it based on precedent now so that would suggest that the ruling is made if Trump wanted to overturn it you imagine the courts would be involved but the smart people say but you won't win and and it could take years to to get through but here's my take nothing's your reever there's nothing that you can't cancel in reverse that that's not a thing it might be that it's hard it might be that somebody didn't yet figure out how to do it it might be that you have to be messy and you know take some hits to get it done it might be that you have to do something that's never been done maybe you have to you know take some penalties but I think you can reverse anything that's a decision that the country made so I'll just give you some examples so if um if the reason it's staying is because an agency is ruled on it then Trump simply has to give a better reason that's not just better opinion but like really overwhelmingly you know unique situation this really needs to be reversed he could probably do that I don't know could probably come up with an argument of why it needs to be reversed but it might take a few years to do it so I don't even know if it's worth doing but um we'll see um Trump did say he would reverse all the executive orders from Biden but we wonder if that one's going to be an exception because if he reverses the executive order the courts won't accept it so we'll see um Wall Street Journal is reporting how Iran has pulled pretty much everything of their assets out of Syria and if he didn't know that's a really big deal because Syria was sort of their um their land bridge to Hezbollah and their ability to um equip and fund their proxies so now Iran has no air air defenses Israel's taking out their air defenses they've lost Syria which means that they can't reinforce Hezbollah at least in any efficient way and Hezbollah has been beaten back at the moment and Hamas is you know just annihilated and um apparently Iran spent spend billions of dollars to get Syria you know up and running as their like proxy base station and they lost all that now I would agree that this is the perfect setup for Trump to get some kind of a deal then I don't think I've ever seen a better setup Trump is coming in exactly at the time when we can make deals and there's a way to do it it it almost seems like you know God inspired kind of thing it's like really uh all these things need to be handled you know from Ukraine to Iran it needs to be handled with deals and the best you know well most famous I won't say best but the most famous dealmaker in the world's coming into office at exactly the time everything's just perfectly set up to make a deal when have we ever seen that before it's like weirdly great it's like almost too good to be true everything from Greenland to Ukraine it's just all things that he can make a deal on and it looks all it looks all doable it's weird it's going to make you think that Biden was even worse than you already think because if Trump comes in and immediately wraps up some things that Biden couldn't wrap up you any questions about who is the best president ever and who was the worst will be answered and I think that's going to happen uh I saw the amuse account on X pointing out that Soros prosecutors the people people that Soros funded those prosecutors um 40% of the H homicides in the US take place in districts with Soros funded prosecutors now some of that is because you know he funded the ones in urban area so there's going to be more murder but uh that's a lot but 75% of those districts the the ones that are Soros districts 75% of them stopped reporting murder statistics to the FBI in 2021 so that doesn't look like a coincidence does it so when Elon Musk said he said it a while ago and he's reinforced it that in his opinion Soros hates humanity and that is how you explain all of his seemingly charitable actions that apparently are designed to destroy the world um I don't know what we don't know what he's thinking when he's doing it but if you looked at the outcome you'd say well I mean there's no way you would do all of those things unless you had a unified theory to destroy the world because they they just seem so obviously unproductive um so I love that we're shining a light on it and and I think that gives you a chance to reverse it so we'll see well there's a update on the pipe bomber so you remember the original January 6 there were reports and videos of somebody planting pipe bombs in two different places and there have been lots of sketchy accusations and and information that makes it look like it was part of a maybe an FBI op or at least a government op here's what we know Liz wheeler is reporting on this so there's a new house report about that January 6 pipe bomber and it's shocking so apparently the this is this is from Liz wheeler um FBI tracked the phone data and they narrowed it down to 186 phone numbers so remember the the bomber has caught so they narrowed it down to 186 bomb numbers and then they narrowed it down further to uh one now we're talking about one of the pipe bombs by the bench so the FBI narrowed down the possible suspects based on the phone he had with them to one person so obviously that person got picked up and no you know what they did after they narrowed it down to just one person so basically they knew who it was here's what they did they uh suddenly dropped the case without explaining it what and and then today there's a new video of of a different angle of the guy who planted the bomb why is that now just available there's a reason that we just found out there's a different camera angle and then surprisingly the it looks like the eyes of the per seem to be um digitally blocked out now I'm not 100% sure that it isn't just Shadow or something but if you could see the eyes then something you know you might have some way to identify them better so everything about this is sketchy um apparently the FBI agent in charge had told Congress that the Telecom company data was corrupted but when the the telecom companies were approached they said nothing was corrupted we gave them everything so it appears the FBI lied to Congress knew who it was and dropped the investigation so that's that's the allegation and now there's Stone the FBI and other agencies are stonewalling Congress uh about why the investigation that was supposed to be about this really big problem just sort of stopped without an explanation good question um and the two people who found the pipe bombs on January 6 were quote a woman carrying a basket of laundry who is actually as Liz says a swamp creature who works for an Intel connected organization where she works on quote disinformation that's convenient and the other was found by a plain closed fed really so the two people so one was found by plain closed fed and the other was placed by somebody with some connections to the Intel World okay um both bombs sat in plain sight undetected for 15 hours or more until both were found independently within 15 minutes of each obviously the order went out to pretend you found the bomb um and also that happened within 15 minutes of the breach of the capital so it's all timed to be exactly what it looks like a some kind of an OP uh further the frame rate of the one video that the FBI released um was one 1.2 frames per second there's no such thing as a video camera that is only 1.2 frames per second that you couldn't buy one if you tried it there's not an old one there's not a new one so it's obviously digitally altered for some reason so this can't be the original video it's some kind of modified version and who would have done that well Usual Suspects um I don't know if we're close to solving this but uh I'm willing to say it's exactly what it looked like it looked like a government I don't know which part of the government plot to make the January Sixers look like real insurrectionists because apparently they were very rude by not bringing weapons so if they could make something blow up then they could say well you know they're all part of this this bombing thing and then they all have to be killed or something so um I'm willing I I think what we know so far is enough for me to say oh that was a government Al uh now I could change my mind if there's new information but I'd say it's obvious at this point anyway Jack bobic is pitching an idea of having a victims of 46 Foundation a charity um for the people who suffered under Biden he was president number 46 and it could exist for the January Sixers and the pro-lifers and the people were kicked out of the military for the vaccine denial and other stuff um I guess that would that would be good for the people who are the victims but it's also good framing so if you see it as persuasion yeah if you knew that we needed a Recovery Fund from American citizens who suffer the Biden Administration that's a pretty strong message like just just the fact that this is even considered or it's a thing um kind of reframes everything as Biden being evil instead of just a normal you know different party was in charge meanwhile Toyota wants 2,000 people to go live in its brand new city for inventors it's going to be at the base of Mount Fuji and it's going to be all the people who are technologists for AI and space rockets and cars and everything if they put them in one place they can cross-pollinate and get more down I guess so basically they'd be creating like a little Silicon Valley um artificially I think that's worth a try now you might say why does Toyota do that um and the thinking is that Toyota is going to transfer from just making cars which might be something that in the self-driving car day you know if you don't have one you're not really in business anymore so there there's some kind of General Mobility company now so this all makes sense in some way meanwhile EPA a according to interesting engineering in Christopher mcfaden um there are so there're a uh electric car company so they've been trying to build this thing for 10 years and now they've got a a version that's getting close and it's got a th000 m solar powerered battery and you can get top speeds of 101 miles per hour and it's super aerodynamic um so that's a big deal you know the the more competition there is in that space the better and there's a study that says that video conferencing where you see yourself on the screen like on I'm seeing myself I'm talking to you but the picture on the screen is is the same thing you're seeing um like a zoom call you know you see yourself and the study finds according to the Boston University of school of medicine that uh the pandemic caused people to use zoom more and Google meetings and stuff and that uh people want they feel bad about themselves when they see themselves all the time on screen because it would be like looking in a mirror all day and if if you don't like how you look it's it's really getting you know impressed on you that you don't look the way you look um and it's uh apparently is making some people have some mental illness about their you know body body image now here's what I noticed it feels to me like every time there's a technical innovation in society there's some demographic of society that is made Crazy by it like actually get mental illness because of something about it like your phones make a lot of people go crazy not everybody and there's some there's some dispute about whether that's even true but don't you think it's always the woman no sometimes it's men but who's having all the who's having all the body image problems because they're looking at themselves on Zoom I mean I I have the same feeling when I play back you know my recordings and when I'm looking at myself I think oh I should you know I wish I didn't have that or I wish that was different but it doesn't really make me sad CU I have a mirror I I've seen myself I know I know exactly what the pluses and the minuses of me are so it seems like it's again it's the the young female demographic if you force them to use Snapchat or Instagram or just zoom they're going to be focusing on what they look like and it's going to give them a little mental illness problem so that ladies and gentlemen is all I wanted to talk about today there is just so much going on and weirdly most of it's positive it's weirdly positive the the Greenland thing just gives us it's such a pallet cleanser isn't it like when we're talking about other things it's like there's some horrible crime involved or there's some big unsolvable problem or somebody hates somebody but Greenland is probably a bunch of people who just are fine with the United States wouldn't mind probably think they'd come out ahead if they were part of the United States we think it'd be a good idea nobody's really against it you know Denmark will resist because that's negotiation or maybe they really want to keep it I don't know but it's so just Pleasant to think about wouldn't it be nice to just you add to the country it's just a good feeling all right that's all I got I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately for a moment um wow yeah Greg gutfeld's back the main cast of the the five is back and uh everything's good now all right um locals I'm coming at you everybody else will see you tomorrow thanks for joining in 30 seconds we'll be e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

we're going to have a

show I think let me get your comments

working

here

perfect

Perfecto well if you're listening to

this and not viewing it you don't know

that there's a Dilbert comic that's up

on the screen I hope you see

it uh and Dilbert he's training his

elbonian replacement and the boss says

to Dilbert good news after you train

your elbonian replacement I'll be

reducing payroll expenses while being

more diverse it's a twofer and dber says

will you be treating him like a slave

and the boss says oh right it's a

ther so always always up on the current

trends all right let's see if I can

change that screen back to me there we

go how goodlooking I

am well you may Wonder uh if I drink

enough coffee

will it cause a reduction in my OCD well

yes I

[Music]

will all right let's make this official

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and I

don't think you've ever had a better

time but if you'd like to take this

experience up to levels where they can

never understand it in Greenland and

Panama and those other places we're

going to conquer all you need for that

is a cuper muger a glass of tanker chal

ofstein a Canen Jugger flask vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine end of

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous Sip

and it happens

now exceler

well so I've got lots of tech news and a

bunch of bunch of political news uh Al

I'm going to say most of the tech news

too after the political stuff but there

a couple of cool things uh CES the the

technology show is happening right now

for 2025 and one of the things that's

being introduced is a 3D

projector now not the kind that projects

on a flat screen and it gives it you

know the appearance of being 3D it

actually creates the 3D holograph and

can put it on your table and have a

dance in front of

you now I don't know if they can do it

with photo realistic stuff they did it

with an animation so you look at the

table and and sitting on the

table apparently is a little character

that's dancing right in front of you in

uh as a 3D object kind of amazing I

didn't think that was going to

come well I did a little uh deeper dive

on Quantum Computing because I was

trying to understand I've told you this

before uh when I hear people explain how

it works or why it works it sounds like

word salad and I thought to myself H I

guess maybe it's because I don't have

the technology background but if I did

I'd understand that word salad and I

went deeper and deeper and I'm I'm quite

sure that nobody knows why it works

I'm fairly positive and you've heard

things like I think Joe Rogan said this

the other

day the quantum Computing works because

it accesses the Infinity of other

dimensions nothing like that's happening

there there's nothing like accessing

other

dimensions that's not happening uh we

don't know what is happening but there's

no indication it's accessing another

dimension if there is one what is it

even so the the things they say are

things like well you know the this

probability wave uh interferes with

another one and between the two of them

they can predict the future without

using any logic or any

calculation they just see the

future and and that future they see

could be like the solution to a

difficult you know uh problem like a

math problem or and I say to

myself really you just interfere a

couple of probabilities and then you can

see the

future so what Quantum Computing

is alleging to do is literally see the

future or or to peer into the past I

guess too none of this is really

possible as far as I know so I thought

to myself it must be me right there just

because I don't understand the field and

I've now seen two experts who do

understand it kind of suggest that

nobody understands it and we don't know

if it could ever even be commercial in a

in a big way I mean it might have some

Niche you know specific things it can do

but it's never going to be a general

computer um so forget about having your

own quantum computer it doesn't look

like that's going to happen but Nvidia

just created a three 3,000 personal AI

supercomputer and it's uh it's only this

little

box which if you wanted to work on AI if

if I understand it right it would be

like a um a data center in a tiny little

box so if you were working with AI

instead of having to access a data

center you can access this little box on

your desk and apparently you have like

full AI

capability so I don't know the ins and

outs and the pluses and minuses of doing

that versus having access to the uh

actual full data center but it's got 200

billion parameters and it looks like a

big deal and then they also they also

have a secret chip that's going to go in

humanoid

robots so uh with all those new

introductions I guess the stock for

NVIDIA would

be and it's

down I don't know maybe people expected

more seemed pretty impressive to me I

think Nvidia is over worth well over3

trillion dollar now and you know they're

they're talking about things that looks

like it would have a big impact on

Tesla because um if they put these

humanoid chips and

robots does Tesla buy some of those

chips or do they have their own chips

for the robots so I don't know who's

smart enough to know if any of these

Nvidia things have any impact on Tesla's

future but I don't know we'll see um in

the guardian they're saying that virtual

employees could come this year in other

words a a AI agent that can take

instructions and act like a person and

get things done I'm GNA go contrary I'm

going to say it won't happen and that's

based on my experience where I tried to

create over the summer I tried a lot I I

worked pretty hard on it trying to

create a

AI agent that could just answer some

questions on my dilbert.com web page and

what I learned is it doesn't look like

it's possible and here's the problem

with the current

AI which which would be different from

the future versions which are AGI but

the one that uses a large language model

and just use patterns it can't answer

the questions reliably because it

hallucinates and you can't stop it and

even if you have a database and you say

AI uh do you see this database yes I can

read it can you tell me something that's

on the page yes here it is you go okay

you can definitely read the data here's

my instructions when I ask you a

question only look at this database

which is just a document and and only

answer from that okay got it and then

you ask a question it'll just make

something up without even looking at the

document

so that was UN commercial

product there was actually a launched

commercial product that as far as I can

tell doesn't work and I don't think

there was any competitor so there was

nobody who had figured out how to make

it stop hallucinating and as far as I

know it might not be

possible because the large language

models don't just follow rules they've

got a whole different you know mechanism

I don't think you could make that

reliable I think bi its nature it's

unreliable and I don't know that you

could tweak it fix it patch it I don't

think you can get there from here so

that's why they need the AGI that would

be a whole different technology that we

haven't seen yet I don't think it's

invented but I guess they Sam mman

thinks are getting close and it could

happen pretty soon um but I'm going to

go contrarian and say the current AI is

not going to create an employee that you

can rely

on uh so I'm contrarian there all right

so there were at least two things that

were fake news that I reposted yesterday

without knowing there were fake

news now how much worse is this going to

get how many times am I going to get

fooled by something that really looks

real

um it didn't make much difference one of

them was um a parody that showed a

company that would be the reconstituted

Enron creating a nuclear egg

you know something you could hold in

your arms there would be a nuclear power

plant for your personal home it was just

like a big egg and the commercial for it

was really well done it had

specifications and how to use it and

everything uh but it was

parody it wasn't labeled clearly parody

though so I looked at it and I'm looking

for the parody part I didn't I didn't

see parody so I reposted it thought but

I asked at least I was at least I was

aware enough to say is this real when I

reposted it but if it was real it' be a

big deal it wasn't real it's not

real so I think that they

cheated um the rules on X is that it

must be clearly labeled it was labeled

but I think the whole clearly part you

maybe is in question meanwhile there's a

new study according to just the news

Stephen Richards is writing that new

study says that Tik Tok suppresses

anti-china

content so it has both anti and

pro-china content but it suppresses the

anti and promotes the other now is there

anybody you know who's been telling you

this for

years is there anybody who said uh uh

you know the that China is got their

finger on this and there's no way that

this is all you know

objective I I talked to a Tik Tock user

the other day and I I mentioned it was

going to be you know it would be banned

unless an American buys it and and I

said it's because you know it could be

persuasive in a way we don't like and

the person I talk to said but you don't

understand you don't use Tik Tok if you

did you know that I see both sides of

every story and I said do you how do you

know well because I see both sides sides

now I think that's true I think both

sides of every story are in fact on Tik

Tok but the problem is which one do you

see the most and who sees

it and as I explained to the Tik Tok

user who she'll remain

anonymous I said uh what if what if

there are some people using Tik Tok that

Tik Tok can tell for sure they cannot be

influenced meaning that you're a hard

Democrat or you're hard Republican

you're not going anywhere but do you

think that Tik Tok can identify people

who are on the fence cuz everything

depends on the people on the fence The

Independents do you think it can

identify an independent and if it did do

you think the independent would get

exactly as

much you know content as you're

seeing so the thing is that you can't

tell if persuasion is happening you just

see what you see and if the only thing

you knows that you're seeing both sides

you don't know if you're the person

they're trying to influence and maybe

you're not so maybe you're just seeing

regular content but uh there's no way

that they're going to keep their finger

off the button if it's so easy to move

the you know persuasion needle so anyway

this it's not peer reviewed yet but it

will be so maybe it's not valid we'll

see what the peer review says but I

think it's just so

obvious you know you could have just

asked me you didn't have have to do the

study do you think China will use this

to influence the

world

duh

duh so China did make a weapon of mass

persuasion and uh Kevin o seems to be

one of the people who part of a group

looking to buy it so it would stay Tik

Tock could stay in business but become

an American thing with American data and

American control I don't know if that's

going to happen but we'll

see all right

um oh so the Washington Post is

reporting uh according to the New York

Post is reporting about the Washington

Post um that Trump uh is talking about

scaling back his tariff

threats and making them more about

specific Industries instead of making

them broad now here's my

question why is the Washington Post

working against the interests of the

United

States 100% of the people watching the

story know that Trump is using tariffs

for negotiation everybody knows it do

you think the Washington Post doesn't

know that he's using it for

negotiations so the main thing that you

do if you're negotiating is you come in

with your hardest offer you know the the

toughest one so that you can negotiate

from that should you need to

so Trump has been consistent oh yeah

we're we're going to tariff everything

from Canada if we have to or everything

from China I don't know if he says that

but but he acts like the Tariff is just

going to be wonderful and great and good

for the country and and then the smart

people say but but it's like he doesn't

understand tariffs he doesn't know that

the American company pays for it not the

you know not the foreign company

shipping in to which I say settle down

it's for negotiating

he doesn't have to he doesn't have to

say your version in order for this to

work he has to

pretend I'll say pretend that he wants

tariffs so badly and they're so good

that the more tariffs he has the happier

he's going to be and then go into the

negotiation but the Washington Post is

trying to kneecap him they they're

broadcasting to the world that he

doesn't mean his his starting

position what are they trying to

accomplish

is that just trying to ruin the country

are they just is just an anti-American

entity and they they decide what to

write about based on how bad it is for

America now I don't think that's the

case but it looks like it why why does

it look like it I guess they they want

to attack Trump in any way they can so

there's still a resistance publication

they're nowhere near the middle and they

think this is somehow what what

advancing the interests of who who and

then of course you have to ask the

question what would tariffs do to

amazon.com probably not good for

business so this is a kind of reporting

that um even though it's uh I'm sure

it's accurate I don't think it's

inaccurate but this is the sort of thing

you should brush over as in some people

say that you know it's a negotiating

position that's not telling anybody

anything but if you say it's a

negotiating position and he's already

saying that he's not going to stick with

it well that's not reporting that's just

ruining his negotiating position that's

like getting in the story so very

unhappy about that well yesterday the

Democrats um who have been saying for

eight years that Trump is Hiller uh they

were quite proud of their peaceful

transfer of power to Hiller

do you think that anybody in their base

has noticed that they called him Hitler

for eight years said he's the biggest

risk to America and then they're acting

proud that they rolled over and gave him

the win to protect

democracy that's right the Democrat

message is Trump is Hitler and we're

going to protect democracy by peacefully

putting him into power

um does anybody on their side see

that is it just us are we the only ones

who see that nothing they did makes

sense

unless unless the primary thing they've

been telling you for eight years was

known to be a lie when they said it

which is the case obviously it was a

lie

unbelievable just

unbelievable then Biden is going to

release 11 yemeni detainees from guano

moay in other words people with

suspected terrorist Tendencies two of

them were I think uh Osama Bin Laden's

bodyguards but the Biden Administration

is assuring us that they've been either

rehabilitated or vetted and checked down

and they just want to send them to

Oman to which I say om man

how is that a good idea now if he said

we're just doing it to save money then

at least I could say well seems like a

dangerous thing but at least it say his

money but they're not really saying

that does this it looks like a

prank it it looks like somebody sat down

and say all right what's the worst thing

we could do well let's let's do

something that's just like so

indefensible that it'll just be

funny like why is it that his actual

policies are indistinguishable from what

I would call a practical

joke like that would be a good practical

joke oh we're going to free a bunch of

terrorists

why it's just the power the president

has I I know but but

why well we're going to release 11 them

to Oman but

why well we checked them out and uh you

know we think this is a good play but

what do you know that we don't

know unless you've put internal bombs in

them so they blow up when they reach

Oman how is this good for

America it's it's it looks like a joke

meanwhile CNN's Harry enton um did a

survey and asked people what their

biggest memories of trump were from

prior Administration

and apparently the January 6 event um

only 5% of the people surveyed said that

was their biggest memory of trump now

this poll is

ridiculous so if you thought oh that's

telling me something the whole world has

moved on

no the question was you know what's the

first thing you remember and Trump is

somebody who reminds you of a hundred

things so if you ask a poll and you say

What's the the biggest one and they

don't pick January 6 I don't think that

means they don't care about it I mean I

don't think people do care about it that

much but I don't think this poll is

useful what's interesting is that CNN

would feature

it because it it has the it I I think

it's a you know biased absurd poll with

no no credibility whatsoever but it's on

CNN and it's unambiguously Pro Trump

meaning that the country doesn't care

about the thing that they've been

reporting on for a for what four years

the country doesn't care was CNN's

reporting which would be consistent with

their you know decline in

ratings so forget about the accuracy of

the poll just look at the fact that it

was on CNN at all that's kind of

interesting apparently speaking of

pranking the Biden Department of Justice

is going to bring 200 more uh people up

on charges for January 6

and not this January 6 you know the

original now the Gateway pundits

reporting this why in the world would

they do

that don't they know that they're just

going to be granted clemency or pardon

like it just again this one looks like

okay that's a prank right that like

you're not serious are you you're you're

actually going to charge 200 more spend

all that money and all that time to ruin

their lives when you know they're going

to be

released how in the world does that make

sense like none of it looks real it just

doesn't look like real people made these

decisions it looks like a bad dream or a

prank or practical joke or

something well one of the big fun

stories today is that Mark Zuckerberg

did a video in which he says he's quite

radically going to change how Facebook

um sleta

is

censoring and he seems to have gone to

full

Trump um he said that the Trump election

was sort of a cultural pivot

point so he starts out by saying

directly that the mood of the country is

very clearly you know magal looking and

that he wants to adapt to it now these

are my words not his exact words but

very clearly he was saying you know we

live in a in a world in which Trump won

the

majority and Facebook would be better

off as a company if it started to be

more compatible with that point of view

now that point of view is less

censorship and you know better processes

for the censorship so he described what

he's going to do which is remarkable now

as I'm talking about this I know exactly

what you're going to be thinking you're

going to say to me Scott but what about

all the terrible terrible things he did

in the past with Facebook you know

Banning people and censoring and all

that those are true things that I don't

care about because I don't live in the

past if I lived in the past I would care

about it now you might say but but Scott

what took him so long to which I say

everything good takes too long I'm not

going to judge him for taking too long

I'm going to be happy if it's a good

idea so I think and I I'll tell you more

details but I think he is right on point

it's one of the most brilliant CEO moves

you'll ever see he is so smart and again

I know that you're going to say but but

I'm so mad at him I can't get over it I

get it I get it you don't like what he

did in the past and I'm not defending it

I'm just saying that the moves he's

making now probably are exactly what he

says and they're good listen to this

um he's going to get rid of fact

checking he's going to get rid of the

fact Checkers because they're biased

what does that sound like that's Mega

that's that's pure Mega the fact

Checkers are fake and you have to get so

he's getting rid of them do you know

what he's going to replace fact checking

with he's going to copy Community notes

from X and he says that's what he's

going to do I'm going to basically copy

X and use Community notes because it

works

so musk went first Community notes is

quite successful I would say

and um Zuckerberg noticed and so he's

copying now it's not easy to be a social

media Network and say um you see my kind

of a competitor I'm just going to copy

that because it was a good

idea that that's what Zuckerberg can do

like it's just brilliant but there's

more

um they're going to get rid of the

automated sensoring and only consider

sensing some situations where somebody's

being reported so there'll still be

things censored you know the the worst

violent stuff you know the usual stuff

but uh it won't be automated you'll have

to report it

now do you approve of that yes you do

because you want humans to decide

whether humans can can or cannot do so

you don't want the algorithm deciding so

yeah that's good

um he says explicitly that the new

process is going to let a lot more

inappropriate stuff on the platform but

that the principle of free speech is

more important do you have a problem

with that no that's that's America he

just described a perfect Mega opinion

about Free Speech it's messy it's

violent sometimes it's dangerous but

it's free speech and the alternative is

worse

now here's the one that will blow your

mind the the moderation the human

moderators apparently they're they're in

California what's going to happen if

your moderators live in California well

it's all going to be liberal opinions of

what should be allowed and what should

not so here's what he's

doing he's moving the moderation from

California to

Texas let that sink in for a moment he's

moving the moderation from California

because they're too biased to

Texas does that sound like

magga

yeah it sounds like exactly what you

would have done it's exactly what you

would have done you would have moved it

to

Texas and he says he's going to this is

this might be the the real money shot

here he says he's going to work with

Trump um to i' say influence or pressure

other countries to not um try to put

Facebook meta and a

business

and that's smart so he's completely

aware that he needs the Trump

Administration and the government of the

United States to back him and and

threaten other countries say look if

you're going to censor us over there and

that hasn't impact on our American

company we're going to terar you or

we're going to you know stop prot

protecting you or something

so I love

this um so other some other countries

probably had back doors and everything

else and you want to get rid of that I

think

so a lot of people said is Zuckerberg

just chasing the money and and this is

not his own philosophical opinion he's

just knows he has to do it to chase

money to which I say

so so well what why is that bad he's the

head of a major uh commercial Enterprise

he's not allowed to chase

money chasing money means being

compatible with the country you're

serving so I don't care I don't care if

that's his only motivation if it's his

only motivation and he can clearly say

that getting out of that censorship

business is good for business working

with Trump productively is good for

business um supporting systems that

would give you more free speech is good

for business if the only thing he wanted

to do is make money I would say good job

excellent that you you nailed it if you

just want to make money I'm completely

supportive of that now some of you might

say but but Scott it's a trick because

he did all those things in the past to

buy us a

system it's pretty transparent he's

either going to do these things he said

or he's not I mean that moderation will

either move to Texas or it won't you

know the the automated the automated

system will either catch things or it

won't we can watch it's all transparent

I I think it's

brilliant because he was in a tough

place and I think he's completely

cognizant of the way Facebook and maybe

even his personal donations to try to

fix the elections uh fix as in improve

um he probably knows that that was a

huge mistake and that it distorted the

system in a way that the syst system

wasn't built to be distorted so to me it

looks like he thought he was doing the

right thing and thought he was working

with the government of the time

productively as he saw it I guess and

now he knows that those are all mistakes

and so he's doing a really hard pivot

hard as in it's hard to explain it it's

hard

to you know especially to his own

company imagine imagine how much trouble

he's getting from his own employees

today do you know how hard that would be

to go against all your liberal employees

and just do a pure mega version of of

the

service now when I say pure magga I want

to be really careful with my words he's

not saying I want to be right-wing when

I say pure magga I mean just compatible

with the Constitution and that's it it

just we just want free speech so if he

gives us that pretty happy we'll see I

mean I agree with you that the jury's

out he he has to perform but everything

about his history suggest he knows how

to

perform all right so all

good Wall Street Journal is talking

about the success of Robbie Starbuck and

I guess he's got a staff of people who

are who have got now how many 15 public

companies to change or abandon their Dei

and lgbtq

policies and what's interesting about

this is you already knew Robbie Starbuck

was having a lot of success there what's

different is that it's now a big article

in the Wall Street

Journal do you know how big that

is like every major

corporation has somebody paying

attention to the Wall Street Journal so

it's one thing when you know Robbie

Starbuck is bragging on X that things

are working and he has a right to brag

by the way he's doing amazing work um

but once it's in the Wall Street Journal

that's the thing that every business has

to pay attention to you can't ignore the

Wall Street Journal if you're in a

business so it kind of It kind of raised

Starbucks profile and it raised it in

the context of he's winning like

crazy that's how you want to be

elevated because if he's winning like

crazy and it's creating the uh creating

a pattern in your brain that these big

corporations that you figure is are no

dumber than you are are making this

change then the 16th 17th and 18th

corporation that he talks to he's going

to say I got 15 in a row do you think

that's an

accident no because if you say

no uh the Wall Street Journal has

already lifted my you know my visibility

people like me with big accounts are uh

backing him hard um we're in trouble so

he is so he's very very cleverly

assembled a set of supporters on X that

are enormous you know just big accounts

who are willing to say yeah do more of

that so he he isn't using uh his own

power he's doing such good work on

behalf of people who have big accounts

in the rest of the country I would say

that uh we want to back him we want to

see more of it so he's he's built a

perfect little machine to R over the the

Dei excesses perfect it's all good news

Well you want me to talk about Don Jr uh

recently just landed in Greenland maybe

an hour ago and um it does seem that

this trip he's with Charlie Kirk and

some few other people and it does seem

that the intention of the trip is to set

the ground workor for a deal to buy it

that's like a real thing and

this again I I hate to be gushing about

smart people doing smart things but can

you even think of a smarter way for

Trump to approach this than to have Don

Jr of all people of all people Don Jr

visit personally and interact with the

residents now have you seen the early

pictures the residents of

Greenland are pretty happy that Don Jr's

there now for one thing they probably

don't get a lot of you know celebrity

excitement so they got that going for

them but they don't seem like

liberals I don't know much about

Greenland but you know from the little

bit I've seen they seem like working

class people who want to be left alone

does that sound like anything you've

heard of before Working Class People who

just want the government to leave them

alone I've got a feeling that there's a

lot of smartness behind

Trump's idea of buying Greenland that he

might know that the population is just

ready to

be um

seduced and if if Trump himself went

there you would agree that would be the

wrong move

right at this point he's not even sworn

in so it would it would definitely be

the wrong move for Trump himself to go

but who would be more

perfect to basically seduce the the the

blue color color people who probably

like outdoorsy things they're probably

just like Don Jr it's probably just a

bunch of Greenland Don jors and he lands

in the middle of it and I think he's

here's what I think he's going to

do first of all he takes this wild idea

and he turns it concrete because there's

a real person who really matters who's

really there like it's not conceptual so

Trump has already turned it from

conceptual to its

underway it's amazing the the the level

of his

persuasive um instincts are just crazy I

mean I've never seen anything this good

honestly so I ask you again is there

anybody on the planet who would have

been a better choice to send to

Greenland today answer no best one on

the planet for what I for what the

intention is um is it likely that Don Jr

will touch a lot of people meaning that

a lot of people will know he's there see

him interact with him yes there are only

56,000 people in the whole country of

Greenland my my little town is twice

that

size he's going to be able to reach

touch have some impact on a healthy

little chunk of that and it's probably

enough to make them all get serious

about it now I think that the only thing

required for Greenland to say yes is for

the Greenland people to feel good about

Trump how are you going to feel when he

sends his son out to hang out with you

you're going to feel good about it

you're going to feel like oh this this

Don Jr is like a regular guy Don Jr does

the best job of being a rich guy acting

like a regular guy now I don't think

he's acting exactly I I think that's his

actual personality um he's perfect for

this job just perfect I love everything

about this anyway um let's talk about

these other

countries um oh and just one last thing

about Greenland I'm sure it would be

good for Denmark to sell Greenland

because they can't afford to protect it

and it will be important to protect it

going forward because the because the

ice melting above it and Russia and

China are going to be having their ships

around there and it's got resources that

people care about you know Rare Earth

material minerals Etc

so Denmark would not want to admit it

because you know they'd rather stay in a

negotiating mode and say no no there's

no way we'd ever sell this but they

would be better off I don't think

they're getting a lot of uh

International Prestige for being

colonizers of

Greenland are do they do the people in

Denmark wake up and say ah feel good

about my country because of our control

of Greenland there's nothing in it for

Greenland except expense yeah they're

just paying for what's there so it's

good it's good for Denmark it's probably

good for

Greenland almost certainly and it could

be good for the United States and

definitely good for

Canada to have us protecting on both

sides so that would put Canada between

Greenland and

Alaska if you can if you can tell me

that there would be a safer place on

Earth than being between our you know

two assets of the United States it's a

pretty good situation so I don't know if

the deal is going to happen but it is in

everyone's interest somewhat

unambiguously like clearly obviously in

everybody's interest I think he's going

to get it done I think this will be

amazing um meanwhile Trump also has

talks about Canada becoming a state and

he keeps he keeps joking about it but

not really

um which is fascinating now here's what

I think you know it it sounded like just

a you know a trumpian joke to make fun

of Trudeau for being like a governor

instead of a leader of the country but

given what's happening in Canada I don't

think we I don't think the United States

can take a chance that a calipat forms

on our northern border and that's what's

happening now you might say Scott Scott

there are so few uh Muslims in Canada

that's you're crazy to which I say

that's how it happens it happens with

too few that's that's the whole way it

happens you have too few and then you

say well a few more wouldn't matter few

more well no problem so far so why not

have a few more and so far no problem

stop being racist let's get a few more

as some point when you reach around 10%

of the population the radicals Within

that group will come to control the

moderates because radicals are willing

to die for what they want the moderates

are not they're just trying to get along

so that the the most extreme people in

any group tend to rise to control of it

right it's just natural it's has nothing

to do with Islam it's just the Natural

Way anything works the the most the

people are willing to die for it

literally are going to be in

charge um or die trying so I don't think

we can take a chance that Canada is

heading really hard toward getting that

10% population which could easily turn

into the seeds of a caliphate and we

could have we could have an Islamic

country in our northern border that's no

good because of the compatibility with

the systems

so so

um the other thing is that if you put

into the mix that you might want to buy

can Canada or have them merge with us I

guess not buy it it makes the Greenland

thing seem more

normal you know somebody was pointing

out that that Trump is ruining the uh

what is it the Overton window or

something uh so he's got so many things

going on that you don't know where to

stop to criticize them you're you're

just like whipped from one topic to

another so I love the fact that you Sim

simultaneously talking about uh Panama

Canal Canada and Greenland

it that's just so trumpy and perfect to

be talking about all of them at the same

time it's very strategically smart

because even if he just wants one of

them to happen or two of them it's good

to throw Canada in the mix so as you

know Trudeau is stepping down I saw it

um eventually he announced it and I saw

um Scott Jennings the Republican guy

that they have on CNN who does a great

job

and he said that the the removal or the

leaving or the quitting of uh

Trudeau uh you could draw a direct line

from the Canadian truckers

situation do you think that's true do

you think that the evil that he put on

the Canadian truckers for protesting you

know canceling their Banking and you

know just my god do you think that that

was sort of the the thing that pushed

Canada over the line and even eventually

led to Trudeau having to step

down do you think there is a straight

line I think there is obviously it took

more than that but yeah I I think the

the trucker kind of got it done so

congratulations Canadian truckers

BJ um Take a

Bow I know he's listening all right

um so should we talk about Elon Musk

angering Canada or angering

Britain or uh let's see angering Germany

or angering France where would you like

me to

start so after Elon Musk becomes the you

know determinant factor maybe for why

Trump gets elected he seems to change

you know change his Focus or for at

least some of his time on other

countries

and so let's just run through the list

of who who is made mad

recently um so up in Canada there's a

report we don't know if it's true some

musk asked for a fact check on it but uh

allegedly some islamists in Canada are

holding a uh conference which again is

not confirmed it's just being reported

uh on how to defeat All non-muslim

Nations and create a global

caliphate now they're pretty far away

from having enough power to do that sort

of thing but the way it starts is with a

first meeting to talk about it so so

elon's looking at that with a one

eyebrow up like the rest of us should

be

um and of course he's accused of

racism so so Canada has the that problem

that we've kind of solved in the United

States and I'll call it the Andrew

Breitbart solution

it goes like this you wanting to close

the border you're a racist you're racist

you're

racist and then as Andrew Breitbart

teaches you say

so well but you're racist you're racist

you're

racist

so yeah and I don't think that's

literally what's happening but and I

don't think that anybody wants to be a

racist and they're not they're not

they're racist they're just not

interested in your

opinion that's the win the win is to not

be interested

so yeah yep yep that's true so but

Canada still thinks that if they

complain about somebody being a racist

that that the person they complain about

will have to change their ways and

apologize and get in

line to which Elon Musk does not say but

may indeed be thinking

so that's what that's what Canada needs

just two letters so yeah yeah that this

would be terribly bad for one

group everything is

so you'll get

there um the other fake news that I sent

around yesterday accidentally was a

video of Trudeau resigning uh in a bar

watching it and as it happened the bar

erupted in Wild cheers that that was

actually a fake video the bar was real

but they were reacting to a sporting

event but somebody put Trudeau on the TV

screen and it made it look like they

were they were celebrating his his

stepping down but that was fake news

um all right so you think things are bad

in the

UK If I had to describe to you how bad

things are going in the UK what would be

the fewest words that I could use to

describe how bad it is over there well

I'll see if I can do it the fewest words

to describe how bad things are in the UK

all right how I'm going to go with this

Andrew Tate's running for prime

minister um anything else you need to

know but it gets better now first of all

I do know that you don't run for prime

minister so before you jump in and say

Scott you don't understand the system

they you know the prime minister is

selected by the other elected people to

be their leader blah blah blah I don't

care he he says he's running for prime

minister which presumably he knows he

needs to get into the government and

then be part of a party that has enough

support to make him the prime minister

so I'm not worried about the details now

uh Andrew Tate is serious you serious

about it now but he also says whether he

wins or loses he can sort of force the

conversation to be about the things they

need to talk about and he can bring

attention to the worst parts of their

system and he can now I'm going to say

something that will shock you because

you're not going to be ready for this

remember in 2015 when I was the one of

the first people in the country besides

you know Anne Coulter to say that uh you

don't understand Trump's like not like

normal people he has this persuasion

skill stack that will eviscerate

anything he comes in contact with that

challenges him until he has hollowed out

the Republican party and become

president now of course everybody

laughed at me and said you're so stupid

because he's just a crazy clown and he

doesn't have any government experience

so I can tell you one thing a crazy

clown with oh oh and he also has like

lots of you know scandals like probably

did things with women that you don't

like does that sound familiar well you

may know that there was some press

coverage that Andrew Tate had um at

least for some number of years I don't

know if he's still does uh an actual

hypnotist who was in his inner circle an

actual

hypnotist like not somebody who just

read up on

it when you saw his popularity rise did

it seem to you like it was

unnatural like how in the world did he

pull that off and become like the the

number one thing on a lot of uh internet

and the answer is he he has the talent

stack now you don't have to like him I

don't like him right so you might know I

have a little history with him and we're

not friends I don't endorse him I don't

think I want him to be the Prime

Minister of Great

Britain but nonetheless if you were

looking at it as just a

talent a talent story does he have the

talent to break through the system and

the answer is yes the answer is yes

because he has the ability to mobilize

males and if he gets enough of them he's

just Trump it's a trump strategy the the

men in Great Britain are completely

underserved and know it they just don't

have any politician who's willing to say

men you're underserved

let's change that if Andrew Tate gets

enough traction that the men of Great

Britain hear him say that or some

version of men you're completely

underserved I'm going to help you

protect the country I know you want to

but the government's preventing you now

we're going to protect the country we're

going to keep out you know the bad

elements Etc now I'm assuming and you

know get rid of the grooming gangs and

stuff like that now what's interesting

is that t allegedly is converted to

Islam

so is it possible he would get some

Muslim

support as long as he's said some

version of you know I'm Muslim too but

you guys are crazy you know we're not

going to make a caliphate that's crazy

I'm going to prevent you from trying to

form a caliphate I'm going to prevent

you from trying to create your own

Society within England I'm going to stop

it and I'm one of you I'm one you and

I'm going to stop

it that'd be pretty strong right you

know Trump went from Democrat to

Republican is it a stretch that take

went to Islam and then he could control

not control but he would be influential

potentially with other Islamic citizens

and with men we already know he has a

superow because men kind of like his you

know audacious they like the whole Act

so here's the thing I'm going to warn

you about I wouldn't bet that he will

become prominent in um the UK political

system I would bet against it I would

bet against

it however if you think it's crazy or

you think he doesn't have the talent

you're wrong he has the talent he does

have the talent he has the talent to to

just hollow out their entire government

and wear it like a suit

like Trump did exactly like Trump did so

if you don't think there's a path

there's a path there's a path I would

bet against it but there's a

path

um all right the only the only defense

that they could have against his

persuasive abilities would be the legal

system just put them in jail and of

course control of the media so the media

never gives him any attention so that

might work I don't know if it's

enough didn't work in

America

um let's see uh so so musk did a poll on

X he said uh you wanted to response to

this America should Liberate the people

of Britain from their tyrannical

government 58% people said

yes I have no idea how serious he is

about that I don't think it's serious I

I think he's just you sort of making a

point and trolling them a little bit uh

but but now the UK prime minister that

care Kier starmer who needs a name I can

pronounce I demand he changed his name

uh is accusing musk of spreading

misinformation blah blah blah they're

all mad and then other countries like uh

France so macron and France

um is uh complaining that uh musk is

interfering with other

countries so what did musk say when

macron um said in public that musk was

interfering with other countries musk

says oh like the time Stormer called uh

real Donald Trump a racist and said the

British government should do everything

to stop

him that

happened good point or how about when

Storer sent British labor party members

to campaign in the US against President

Trump was that

interfering and those aren't even the

good ones you want a good one have you

heard of something called the steel

dossier where an ex intelligence person

from the UK came up with this whole fake

thing yeah an X intelligence person from

the UK there's no X intelligence

people that was just the Great Britain

interfering with with the United States

that's what that

was

um and then my funniest

part was this a a British politician

named ed Davy he went on X to speak his

mind he said quote people have had

enough of Elon Musk interfering with our

country's democracy when he clearly

knows nothing about

Britain it's time to summon the US

ambassador to ask why an incoming Us

official is suggesting the UK government

should be

overthrown

um so there's nothing

funnier than a person saying that Elon

Musk doesn't understand their

complicated

situation because you know that not

that's not been his

domain to which I

say really Elon

Musk doesn't understand a complicated

thing and doesn't have the ability to

get up to speed really quickly cuz I

mean how could

he come

on listen to Jordan Peterson's book I

probably won't all right so nothing's

funnier than telling Elon Musk he can't

handle a complicated situation and Elon

said in response said what exactly do I

fail to understand about your failure to

stop the Mass rape of little girls in

Britain you sniveling

cron

okay that covers it no nothing else to

say but but the audacity of the

sniveling creedon Ed Davy to imagine

that his world is the complicated kind

that somebody who somebody like Elon

Musk could possibly understand like oh

well we don't understand the

complications of why you're allowing

these horrific crimes yeah maybe he

doesn't know the

Nuance I swear every time somebody says

that Elon Musk is dumb or doesn't

understand something I just shake my

head it's like have you watched anything

he's done for the last 30

years anyway it's literally all he does

the reason he's world famous is he

enters domains in which he knows nothing

about and almost immediately is the best

one in the domain like that's literally

what he does all right um and uh car

starmer said he's considering cutting

ties with the US unless Donald Trump

distan himself from Elon Musk to which I

say it's about time yeah why why don't

we cut our diplomatic um cut our

diplomatic ties I'm totally okay with

that I I I think if if the UK is really

threatening free speech in America in

America and Elon is in America and he

has free speech if they're going to

attack United States because of free

speech of anybody doesn't matter if he's

part of the government elected not

elected advisor citizen recent you know

recent citizen it doesn't matter he gets

to say anything he wants you know within

within certain decency standards um so

now if Great Britain is trying to

squelch the free speech of anybody in

America we should cut

ties we've done it

before yeah we should cut

ties um then of course mus is uh has

been advocating I think for the what

they call the farri alternative party in

Germany the afd now the story part of

the story you need to understand is that

when musk says the quote far right party

in Germany is is the one that would do a

better job it's not far

right so that's just something the news

says if you looked at their far right it

would sort of look like Maga you know

that that's my understanding now uh

unlike Elon I don't know a lot about

Germany so I'm not going to pretend to

but uh I don't think it's true that

there's some kind of extremist group I

do think maybe they had something in

their past like that but remember the

Democrats have the KKK in their past but

if you hold it against them today that

would be just stupid and I see people

doing it and I I just always bristle

when I see that it's like that was a

long time ago if they're not currently

if they're not currently supporting the

KKK and they couldn't be further from it

then it doesn't really matter what they

did in the

past all right then there's a let's see

um uh he's so Emanuel macron is directly

accusing musk of interfering with

elections including

Germany and I guess that's all I need to

say about that one um meanwhile you

heard that uh we've already talked about

this Biden banned offshore oil drilling

before he leaves office and only in

certain places that there isn't a lot of

drilling right now um so I don't know

how big a deal it is in the in the real

world but uh

it looks like he was just trying to

kneecap Trump so Trump couldn't allow

drilling there um but here's the weird

part all the experts are saying it's

it's

irreversible that Trump doesn't have any

way to back out of it and has to do with

h a previous Court ruling called Chevron

deference I'm going to get all this

wrong because this is you know not my

expertise the law but as best I

understand it there was some prior

situation that went to the Supreme Court

in which an agency of the government had

made a ruling that we should do

something this way and somebody else

said no you can't do it that way we're

going to stop you or reverse it and then

the Supreme Court said we're not going

to reverse an agency's

opinion unless you've got a really

strong reason that that is beyond just

we have a different

opinion and so as long as it's just a

difference of opinion of how things

should be and nothing more than that the

courts won't touch it based on precedent

now so that would suggest that the

ruling is made if Trump wanted to

overturn it you imagine the courts would

be involved but the smart people say but

you won't win and and it could take

years to to get through but here's my

take nothing's your reever there's

nothing that you can't cancel in reverse

that that's not a thing it might be that

it's hard it might be that somebody

didn't yet figure out how to do it it

might be that you have to be messy and

you know take some hits to get it done

it might be that you have to do

something that's never been done maybe

you have to you know take some

penalties but I think you can reverse

anything that's a decision that the

country

made so I'll just give you some examples

so if um

if the reason it's staying is because an

agency is ruled on it then Trump simply

has to give a better reason that's not

just better opinion but like really

overwhelmingly you know unique situation

this really needs to be

reversed he could probably do

that I don't know could probably come up

with an argument of why it needs to be

reversed but it might take a few years

to do it so I don't even know if it's

worth doing but um we'll see

um Trump did say he would reverse all

the executive orders from Biden but we

wonder if that one's going to be an

exception because if he reverses the

executive order the courts won't accept

it so we'll see um Wall Street Journal

is reporting how Iran has pulled pretty

much everything of their assets out of

Syria and if he didn't know that's a

really big deal because Syria was sort

of their um their land bridge to

Hezbollah and their ability to

um equip and fund their proxies so now

Iran has no air air defenses Israel's

taking out their air defenses they've

lost

Syria which means that they can't

reinforce Hezbollah at least in any

efficient way and Hezbollah has been

beaten back at the moment and Hamas is

you know just

annihilated and um apparently Iran spent

spend billions of dollars to get Syria

you know up and running as their like

proxy base station and they lost all

that now I would

agree that this is the perfect setup for

Trump to get some kind of a deal then I

don't think I've ever seen a better

setup Trump is coming in exactly at the

time when we can make deals and there's

a way to do it it it almost seems like

you know God inspired kind of thing it's

like really uh all these things need to

be handled you know from Ukraine to Iran

it needs to be handled with deals and

the best you know well most famous I

won't say best but the most famous

dealmaker in the world's coming into

office at exactly the time everything's

just perfectly set up to make a

deal when have we ever seen that

before it's like weirdly great it's like

almost too good to be

true everything from Greenland to

Ukraine it's just all things that he can

make a deal on and it looks all it looks

all doable it's weird it's going to make

you think that Biden was even worse than

you already think because if Trump comes

in and immediately wraps up some things

that Biden couldn't wrap

up you any questions about who is the

best president ever and who was the

worst will be answered and I think

that's going to

happen uh I saw the amuse account on X

pointing out that Soros prosecutors the

people people that Soros funded those

prosecutors um 40% of the H homicides in

the US take place in districts with

Soros funded prosecutors now some of

that is because you know he funded the

ones in urban area so there's going to

be more murder but uh that's a lot but

75% of those

districts the the ones that are Soros

districts 75% of them stopped reporting

murder statistics to the FBI in 2021

so that doesn't look like a coincidence

does it so when Elon Musk said he said

it a while ago and he's reinforced it

that in his opinion Soros hates humanity

and that is how you explain all of his

seemingly charitable actions that

apparently are designed to destroy the

world um I don't know what we don't know

what he's thinking when he's doing it

but if you looked at the outcome you'd

say well I mean there's no way you would

do all of those things

unless you had a unified theory to

destroy the world because they they just

seem so obviously

unproductive um

so I love that we're shining a light on

it and and I think that gives you a

chance to reverse it so we'll see well

there's a update on the pipe bomber so

you remember the original January 6

there were reports and videos of

somebody planting pipe bombs in two

different places and there have been

lots of sketchy accusations and and

information that makes it look like it

was part of a maybe an FBI op or at

least a government op here's what we

know Liz wheeler is reporting on this so

there's a new house report about that

January 6 pipe bomber and it's shocking

so apparently the this is this is from

Liz wheeler um FBI tracked the phone

data and they narrowed it down to 186

phone

numbers so remember the the bomber has

caught so they narrowed it down to 186

bomb

numbers and then they narrowed it down

further to uh one now we're talking

about one of the pipe bombs by the

bench so the

FBI narrowed down the possible suspects

based on the phone he had with them to

one

person so

obviously that person got picked up and

no you know what they did after they

narrowed it down to just one person so

basically they knew who it

was here's what they did they uh

suddenly dropped the

case without explaining

it what and and then today there's a new

video of of a different angle of the guy

who planted the bomb why is that now

just available there's a reason that we

just found out there's a different

camera angle

and then

surprisingly the it looks like the eyes

of the per seem to be um

digitally blocked out now I'm not 100%

sure that it isn't just Shadow or

something but if you could see the eyes

then something you know you might have

some way to identify them better so

everything about this is

sketchy um apparently the FBI agent in

charge had told Congress that the

Telecom company data was

corrupted but when the the telecom

companies were approached they said

nothing was corrupted we gave them

everything so it appears the FBI lied to

Congress knew who it was and dropped the

investigation so that's that's the

allegation and now there's Stone the FBI

and other agencies are stonewalling

Congress

uh about why the investigation that was

supposed to be about this really big

problem just sort of stopped without an

explanation good

question um and the two people who found

the pipe bombs on January 6 were quote a

woman carrying a basket of laundry who

is actually as Liz says a swamp creature

who works for an Intel connected

organization where she works on quote

disinformation that's convenient and the

other was found by a plain closed fed

really so the two people so one was

found by plain closed fed and the other

was placed by somebody with some

connections to the Intel World

okay um both bombs sat in plain sight

undetected for 15 hours or more until

both were found independently within 15

minutes of

each obviously the order went out to

pretend you found the bomb

um and also that happened within 15

minutes of the breach of the

capital

so it's all timed to be exactly what it

looks like a some kind of an

OP uh further the frame rate of the one

video that the FBI

released um was one 1.2 frames per

second there's no such thing as a video

camera that is only 1.2 frames per

second

that you couldn't buy one if you tried

it there's not an old one there's not a

new one so it's obviously digitally

altered for some reason so this can't be

the original video it's some kind of

modified version and who would have done

that well Usual

Suspects

um I don't know if we're close to

solving this but uh I'm willing to say

it's exactly what it looked like it

looked like a government I don't know

which part of the government plot to

make the January Sixers look like real

insurrectionists because apparently they

were very rude by not bringing weapons

so if they could make something blow up

then they could say well you know

they're all part of this this bombing

thing and then they all have to be

killed or

something so um I'm willing I I think

what we know so far is enough for me to

say oh that was a government Al uh now I

could change my mind if there's new

information but I'd say it's obvious at

this

point anyway Jack bobic is pitching an

idea of having a victims of 46

Foundation a

charity um for the people who suffered

under Biden he was president number

46 and it could exist for the January

Sixers and the pro-lifers and the people

were kicked out of the military for the

vaccine denial and other

stuff um

I guess that would that would be good

for the people who are the

victims but it's also good framing so if

you see it as persuasion yeah if you

knew that we needed a Recovery Fund from

American citizens who suffer the Biden

Administration that's a pretty strong

message like just just the fact that

this is even considered or it's a

thing um kind of reframes everything as

Biden being evil instead of just a

normal you know different party was in

charge meanwhile Toyota wants 2,000

people to go live in its brand new city

for inventors it's going to be at the

base of Mount Fuji and it's going to be

all the people who are technologists for

AI and space rockets and cars and

everything if they put them in one place

they can cross-pollinate and get more

down I guess so basically they'd be

creating like a little Silicon Valley um

artificially I think that's worth a try

now you might say why does Toyota do

that um and the thinking is that Toyota

is going to transfer from just making

cars which might be something that in

the self-driving car day you know if you

don't have one you're not really in

business anymore so there there's some

kind of General Mobility company now so

this all makes sense in some way

meanwhile EPA a according to interesting

engineering in Christopher mcfaden um

there are so there're a uh electric car

company so they've been trying to build

this thing for 10 years and now they've

got a a version that's getting close and

it's got a th000 m solar powerered

battery and you can get top speeds of

101 miles per hour and it's super

aerodynamic um so that's a big deal you

know the the more competition there is

in that space the

better and there's a study that says

that video conferencing where you see

yourself on the screen like on I'm

seeing myself I'm talking to you but the

picture on the screen is is the same

thing you're seeing um like a zoom call

you know you see yourself and the study

finds according to the Boston University

of school of medicine that uh the

pandemic caused people to use zoom more

and Google meetings and stuff and that

uh people want they feel bad about

themselves when they see themselves all

the time on screen because it would be

like looking in a mirror all day and if

if you don't like how you look it's it's

really getting you know impressed on you

that you don't look the way you look um

and it's uh apparently is making some

people have some mental illness about

their you know body body

image now here's what I noticed it feels

to me like every time there's a

technical innovation in society there's

some demographic of society that is made

Crazy by it like actually get mental

illness because of something about it

like your phones make a lot of people go

crazy not everybody and there's some

there's some dispute about whether

that's even true but don't you think

it's always the woman no sometimes it's

men but who's having all the who's

having all the body image problems

because they're looking at themselves on

Zoom I mean I I have the same feeling

when I play back you know my recordings

and when I'm looking at myself I think

oh I should you know I wish I didn't

have that or I wish that was different

but it doesn't really make me

sad CU I have a mirror I I've seen

myself I know I know exactly what the

pluses and the minuses of me are so it

seems like it's again it's the the young

female

demographic if you force them to use

Snapchat or Instagram or just

zoom they're going to be focusing on

what they look like and it's going to

give them a little mental illness

problem so that ladies and gentlemen

is all I wanted to talk about today

there is just so much going on and

weirdly most of it's positive it's

weirdly positive the the Greenland thing

just gives us it's such a pallet

cleanser isn't it like when we're

talking about other things it's like

there's some horrible crime involved or

there's some big unsolvable problem or

somebody hates somebody but Greenland is

probably a bunch of people who just are

fine with the United States

wouldn't mind probably think they'd come

out ahead if they were part of the

United States we think it'd be a good

idea nobody's really against it you know

Denmark will resist because that's

negotiation or maybe they really want to

keep it I don't know but it's so just

Pleasant to think about wouldn't it be

nice to just you add to the country it's

just a good feeling all right that's all

I got I'm going to go talk to the locals

people privately for a moment

um wow yeah Greg gutfeld's back the main

cast of the the five is back and uh

everything's good

now all right um locals I'm coming at

you everybody else will see you tomorrow
