Well, let's check the stocks and see how the stock market's doing. Well, everybody's coming in. Oh, pretty good. All right, looks like mildly up in the things that I care about. Mildly rumblings up. Wow. Well, let's get my comments going and then we'll have the show that you've been waiting for. Wow, it's going to be good. You'll love it. Just you wait.

All right, Locals, let's see your comments. There you go. We're all set for action. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

Wait, wait, I'm getting some breaking news. There is a new study. I'm not making this up, but there's a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology. They found that caffeine consumption was associated with higher levels of testosterone and better erections. Well, sippers, I salute you.

But if you'd like to join in, all you need is a covered mug, glass, tanker, chalice, stein, a canteen, sugar flask, a vessel of any kind, even a blood vessel if you know what I mean. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. Salute. Is that what salute means? Probably not. Probably not. It's a new meaning.

All right. Well, you've probably heard the rumors by now, but people, they're just rumors, that Barack Obama is about to have a mic drop moment. A mic drop. That's right. If you're sitting at home, I'll give you a moment. Yeah, the rumor is there's going to be a mic drop moment. That's all I have to say on that anyway.

According to Rasmussen, the Trump job performance is amazing. So the latest is that as of Thursday, 56% of likely U.S. voters approved of Trump's job performance for the first week. And guess what the overnight is? The overnight is Trump at 59% approval. Does that even seem possible?

Now, Rasmussen gets a lot of criticism from the Democrats, and part of the reason they get criticized is they're one of the most accurate pollsters, and they generally have a better view of Trump, better results on Trump than, let's say, the average of the other pollsters. But they're also closer. So they're consistently more right about Trump-related stuff. So this is incredible. 59% approval.

And I feel like the criticism has just turned into nothing. You know, we'll talk about all the stuff Trump's doing, but I'm just not seeing pushback anywhere. I mean, there's blah blah blah, but not really. It's like the whole country just said we don't have to pretend anymore. Just let Dad do what Dad does, and we just don't need to pretend that we disagree with everything all the time automatically. Unbelievably good.

So now you know how Trump's job performance is doing. I would say that Trump and the Republicans are having, in my lifetime, maybe the best week they've ever had. Would that be fair to say? Would it be fair to say that in my entire lifetime there's never been a better week for Republicans? I think that's true. I can't think of any time that they got more done, controlled the narrative, changed everything that needed to be changed. You know, did 2016 by now it's X more. I mean, I've never seen anything like this.

So we know that Trump's doing well and the Trump effect is in force. But let's not forget there's another major political party, and you know they could be doing good things too but maybe getting overshadowed because of the news coverage. So I wanted to check in just to make sure Democrats are also getting some stuff done. And yes, turns out Democrats are making some inroads. Specifically, there's a Mississippi Democrat, I think it is a first-year on the job, and he's introducing some legislation in Mississippi to make it illegal for men to masturbate because he thinks masturbation should be limited to reproduction. So according to the legislation, it would be okay if you wore a condom when you masturbate. I don't think I'm making that up. That's the way I read it. I think this is real. I'm not making any of this up.

That's right. President Trump is reviving the economy, establishing America as the great superpower, putting 10,000 people on the border to close it for good. But not to be outdone, a Democrat in Mississippi is trying to make it illegal to masturbate. It would be a first penalty of $1,000. I just want to know how they get the information. Are you supposed to self-report? Is it like the gift tax? They just expect you to tell them?

So it's $1,000 for the first offense. The second one would be $5,000. And if you whack off three times, the third one would be $10,000. And all I'm thinking is if I lived in Mississippi, I'd be sitting there thinking, all right, it's $10,000, maybe just twice. Anyway, that's real.

This is also real. According to a writer in Red State, Karine Jean-Pierre, the recent spokesperson for Biden, she's being profiled in Vanity Fair now. You say to yourself, okay, I mean Vanity Fair does sort of high-profile attractive-looking people. She's an attractive person. She's high-profile, so that makes sense. And then I read on. She wrote the profile herself. Okay, that's funny. Did she write a glowing profile of herself for Vanity Fair? It's actually called Vanity Fair. If it weren't called vanity, it wouldn't be so fun that she wrote it herself, you know what I mean?

But it gets funnier. Can anybody guess what she's blaming for her lack of success? If you guessed racism, if you guess racism is what she's blaming for a lack of screaming success, you'd be right. She says it's racism. Yep, yep.

Imagine being alive and not being aware that for the past 40 years, 40 years, the best thing you could be is anything but a white man in terms of employment. For 40 years it's been true, absolutely hard true, for 40 years that the worst thing you could possibly be is a white man in any kind of American job. The best thing? What's the best thing you could be for the past 40 years? Black female lesbian. It's number one in the entire stacking of the ridiculousness that the Democrats brought us for the last 40 years. It's number one on the best thing you could possibly be for your career. There's nothing higher than that.

But imagine being so stupid you don't even know that. You don't even know that everything was stacked in your direction. That's amazing. 40 years it's been true, and it hasn't been just a little bit true. It's been the most true, obvious, documented. Ask any single person who's been alive and been in a corporate world for 40 years. It's the truest true thing that there has ever been true. And she doesn't know it. What kind of a weird imaginary world is that? So weird.

The Wall Street Journal has an article. Now I can't believe this is really being discussed. Just hold in your mind all the conversations we've had on this topic and then be amazed that it's a headline story today. Today it's still a story. All right, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that I guess there's some maybe some changes that might be coming to the dietary guidelines in the United States from the government. And there's a big debate whether drinking a little bit of alcohol is good for you.

It's 2025. By now we're completely aware that unless the study is actually paid for by the alcohol business, they all say it's bad for you. It's the most well-understood thing in science. Of course every drink is bad for you. But because the alcohol industry still has some sketchy studies out there, they're like, well, look at my study. I know you've got 10 studies, but look at my four studies. And so they're still arguing whether a little bit of alcohol is actually good for your health. Yeah, a little bit of poison is just what you need. A little bit of poison.

Well, here's what they could have done to save some time. They could have asked Scott. And here's how that conversation would have gone. The experts would say, Scott, is alcohol bad for people even in low doses? We can't tell because the data is mixed. And then here's what I would say. Maybe you should check who funds the studies saying poison is good for you. Then the experts would say, you are a genius. Thank you for saving us so much money and time. I'm pretty sure that's how it would go.

So next time, guys, ladies, next time you have a question about whether alcohol is good for you, big time-saver: ask Scott.

Over in the UK, the UK being stupid again. When was the last time you heard a story about the UK that wasn't about them being stupid? I don't even remember one. It's either they're lying or stupid or weasels. Like every story about the UK is that. A coincidence? Or have they turned into lying, stupid weasels? I mean, you know, my instinct is that's the news that is catching my attention. They must be doing something right, right? Is there anything that the UK is doing right?

But here's a story, just a small one, that the BMW UK group, the BMW has decided to announce that it is no longer going to post on X. Number one, why would you announce it? What would be the point of announcing that? Well, the only thing I can think of is that they're announcing it because they're protesting something that Elon must have did. Can you think of any other reason? I can't.

So BMW is protesting X. They're doing it at exactly the same time that I was trying to figure out what my next car will be, which has taken me a few years to figure out because I'm right on the fence between going electric, which seems like obviously the future, and staying in gas as long as I can because gas stations are more plentiful. So I was kind of on the fence. But I was thinking, you know, another BMW. That's what I've been driving for years. Maybe one more. And then I see this. We're not the UK, so it's not the UK BMW, but I'm not cool with that. I'm not cool with you being such buttholes. So you have to announce you're doing it.

I wouldn't even care if they simply didn't do it. If they simply didn't do it, I'd be like, I don't even know. I don't care. You know, not everybody has to do everything. It doesn't matter if somebody's not doing something. But announcing it, announcing it, that's just being dicks. I'm not going to drive the automobile of dicks. So I'm probably going to get a Tesla because BMW UK are just being dicks. Like the cool thing about BMW is I like the brand. The cars are very good. But I like the brand. Like it just felt right. Sometimes your personality or something matches a brand. But I don't want to be driving a dick car. So probably that'll push me into the Tesla. Just my guess. We'll see. That's not a final decision.

AOC was on John Stewart's podcast, and they had great agreement and a good laugh over the question of Democrats being hypocrites by being in favor of insider trading. Now both Stewart and AOC say directly it is insider trading, which is legal. It's specifically legal if you're in Congress. Now I actually understand why they have that rule. I don't know, has anybody explained to you why they have the rule that they can do insider trading? I don't. You know, I'm sure it's just self-interest, but the rationalization would be that you would be essentially prohibiting them from just normal investing because sooner or later something they normally invest in is going to look like they had insider information. Next thing you know they're going to get arrested for just making ordinary investments like every other American.

So I'm actually quite sympathetic to allowing them to do it. But I think we should have more transparency. I think this is one where instead of banning it, let's just know exactly who's doing what. The midpoint, the only midpoint I can imagine is if the Congress had its members don't invest in these topics because they're part of upcoming discussions. So get there before the discussion and say we're going to put a moratorium just on, let's say, these six companies just for a few months because that's when we're going to have more information than the public. I don't know if there was a practical way to make that happen. That'd be good. Or alternately just tell the public which things the Congress is talking about and then show us what people are investing in. Full transparency. And then when that person runs for election, their opponent says, well, you know, here's the watchdog list. Here's what they were talking about. Here's what he invested in. That could matter. I could see voters saying, yeah, that actually does matter to me.

But AOC and Stewart both agree that what it does when Democrats are in favor of keeping it, which they are, that it makes them easy targets for Republicans to say you hypocrites, look what you're doing. And interestingly, it's just interesting they're calling out their own side for this huge error.

Now I remember before Trump was president, if AOC and John Stewart were on a podcast, the one and only thing you would expect from that is dunking on Republicans. And instead they dunked on Democrats hard. They dunked hard on Democrats. This is the Trump effect, is it not? This is Democrats trying to figure out how to do something different from everything they've done. And AOC, whatever you want to say about AOC, you know I fully accept all the criticisms as often valid, but remember I tell you that she is a unique character and that she can break frame sometimes. They can't. The rest of them can't do it. Fetterman can do it. Fetterman can break frame. Eric can break frame. AOC can break frame. Now that's not always good. It doesn't mean they're great. Doesn't mean you should vote for any of them because of that. But it's rare. And when anybody can break frame, I always pay attention. So I'm going to pay attention to this one.

Meanwhile, CBS News fired Nora O'Donnell, who has not been historically very favorable to President Trump. Is this the Trump effect? Yes, yes it is. Trump destroyed the reputation and therefore the entire business model of traditional news, and they are in freefall and trying to figure out how to make it work.

But I'm going to put my MBA hat on for a minute. And instead of looking at this as a political thing, I'm going to look at it, which it might be. It might be that the network is trying to be a little less anti-Trump because they need to have access to the administration to make stories and stuff. So it could be just normal politics overlapping business. But there's a bigger business question. I think that the days of hiring a gazillion-dollar host to just read the news is not a business model that can ever work again because they're competing against podcasters who are just killing it.

Here's what I'm going to make a prediction about the traditional news business. I think they're going to morph into a syndication company. And what I mean is that instead of being the people who essentially own the talent, I think they're going to become a platform for distribution and promotion, but that they'll work with essentially podcasters who are in charge of their own content. So it's not for podcasters like me because I'm almost entirely opinion-based. But there are podcasters who have real news experience. You know, I'll just pick one randomly, but I'm not anticipating that this one goes into that model. But just for example, somebody like Megyn Kelly has a huge audience and also has a lot of experience in the traditional news business. If somebody like CBS said, hey, we got a new model, we're just going to distribute people and you just have to do all the content, that seems like that would be a good model because that's how cartoons work, by the way.

The way the cartooning industry works mostly is that the cartoonists don't work for the newspaper. Some of the political ones do, but the ones that are three-strip, four-panel kinds of things, they don't work for the newspaper. They're part of a syndication group where there's a business that does all the distribution and the promotion, and then the content people draw the comics and then they just share the money. So I think TV news is going to turn into a syndication model because nothing else will work. They're not going to pay $10 million for a celebrity. Why would it make more sense to pay zero dollars and say we'll distribute you if you can get a big audience? We both make money. So it's just positive from the first day. That's what I think.

Ross Ulbricht, as you know, the creator of the Silk Road, who was in jail for two life sentences plus 40 years, has been pardoned or commuted, I forget which word it is, but he's a free man now. And he did a little video directed at President Trump. Now this was really interesting because clearly if you had your life saved by President Trump, as he did, Trump just saved his life for all practical purposes, and you can't leave that alone. You're going to have to acknowledge that that was a great thing for you. And he does. But you also don't want to be killed in 2025 by all the wokies who can't stand the fact that you thanked Trump. So he picked his words so carefully that it reminds you how smart he is. And how smart he is is really sort of the big story on this. I don't think you all completely understand that he's not ordinary smart, Ross. He's extra. All right, he's one of the special ones.

And so when he picks his words carefully, I like to pay attention to the exact words. Here's what he said. He said, I'm a free man now, so let it be known that Donald Trump is a man of his word. Thank you so much, President Trump, for giving me this amazing blessing.

Now look at his words. I'm a free man now. Let it be known that Trump is a man of his word. Isn't that a great compliment? It really is. If you're Trump, this is like the best compliment you could ever get, that you're a man of your word. Like that is so just right. But also it's non-controversial at least in terms of the specific thing because if Trump said he would do it and then he did it, calling him out as a man of his word at least on this particular item is exactly right. So he didn't go too far and put himself at risk with the left part of the country. But yet he delivered a compliment which I say one of the best ones I've ever heard. And there's no arguing that if he said he'd do it and then he did it, yeah, man of his word. That's worth something.

ICE, I don't want to say rounded up. If you've watched any of the coverage, Tom Homan always corrects everybody who says that they're rounding up people. He's like, no, very targeted enforcement of specific people. We're not rounding up. And that's a good correction. So they got 538 criminal aliens, to use the new modern word. And in some cases they got some people who were in the same room. Exactly like you said they would. Everybody's been warned. They know if you're in the same room as the person they're looking for, you're in trouble. So warning is all you can do. I mean, you got to do your job, and I guess they're doing it and they're doing it hard. So they got criminal gang members. They got people with all kinds of bad crimes, sex offenders. That's 538 people who aren't going to be offending again if they really go away and stay away.

Trump signed some kind of executive order, or he said he would approve power plants that are associated with AI data centers. So if you didn't know, AI requires so much processing you have to build a whole data center, and enormous ones bigger than we've had historically, in order just to get to the next level of AI. But they use so much power that you would drain the grid. I think we need about twice as much energy as we anticipate having under baseline. So we got to really ramp it up.

And Trump's take on this is you can do anything. You can use natural gas. You know that would be ideal. Except he's better than coal. But he's not going to limit what they can do. They can build a nuclear power plant, gas, geothermal, whatever it takes. Now that feels to me like trying to win. In other words, you know, keeping America strong and powerful and having the right energy profile is everything you need to win. I mean it's the thing that feeds the military, the economy, everything. So having Trump say I'm taking the controls, at least the useless controls, I'm taking the useless controls off of the energy program in the United States and then tying it to the AI stuff gives them a whole bunch of fans in the AI world, which is basically everybody who's paying attention, and makes us competitive.

Now what's it do to the environment? Not ideal. Not ideal. But I think it was Chamath from the All-In pod who was saying that even if you wanted to build your own solar plant because you want to be green, if you want to build your own giant solar facility to accompany your AI data center, you wouldn't be able to do it because the approval would take so long that it just wouldn't be a practical project. So Trump, this is a weird thing, Trump by removing the ridiculous obstacles could make solar power finally reach its potential because it's the environmentalists who tell you you have to do solar and it's the environmentalists who tell you you can't. That's what Chamath is kind of explaining. You should see him on the Tucker Carlson podcast. I haven't finished it yet, but like I said, it's the most eye-opening, jaw-dropping, incredible set of useful points that you should understand. It's really special. You know, so you got to watch that.

So that's a big deal. If you're looking for some optimism, this story about allowing any kind of power plant, you know, not stupid but just normal power plants to be associated with AI and letting the tech giants sort of take control of how that functions, honestly I can't think of anything that would be better for America right now. I mean it's just so good. So good. And it doesn't even look like the government you expect. I kind of expect my government to be just stopping me from doing stuff. And when you see somebody who's in the government, Trump, making it easier to do stuff, important stuff like critically important existential stuff, you can't get more optimistic than this. This is special. It really is.

Speaking of that, Trump's going to visit the LA fire zone today. So a few sub-stories to that. Number one, did Biden ever? I think he was already kind of done by the time of the fire. But Trump's going to be there, and Newsom said he's going to be greeting him at the tarmac, which suggests that Newsom is not invited to tour the actual fire areas. So it sounds like Newsom wanted to insert himself, but the only place he could be sure it would be acceptable is greeting him at the airport.

Now there could be a second reason for this. You know that there's still some fires burning. You know there's always some smoldering embers and stuff. So it could be that Newsom's hair gel presents too much of a risk. You know, you don't want to put that much of a... oh never mind, it's not about his hair gel. But so Newsom's in an awkward situation. People expect him to be the leader of the opposition to Trump. At the same time he has to beg him for money. So I wonder if he can separate those two things or if he feels like he'll just try to do both at the same time.

Ah, Mr. Trump, Mr. President, thank you so much for coming here. We really need a lot of help. $2.5 billion. And by the way, you're a fascist. What? Yeah, we said, I said we're going to need a lot of help from the federal government. Really appreciate that you came here. It means a lot to us. We need at least 10 billion. And you're Hitler. Wait, what? Like how's that conversation go exactly? I don't know. Awkward.

The good news is that I know he's going to be talking to the right people, and I won't say more about that. But I'll just say that one of the things that Trump does so well that I've never seen anything like it is that he has feelers among his base and on the ground like I've never seen. Like if somebody has a better idea about anything, it actually gets to him. It doesn't matter who it is. Anybody who has a good idea, it's just a good idea. And you can bubble it up through people who have bigger accounts, and they say, oh that is a good idea. And then sooner or later there's somebody on his staff who sees it, and he actually hears about stuff. Like I've seen that play out a number of times. And I think that's playing out again with his visit to LA. So we'll see how it goes. I'll be vague for now. But in terms of knowing that he's going to connect with the right people when he's there, done. And that probably bubbled up from the right people. And that's how you want your country to work.

Meanwhile, Trump signed an executive order on crypto trying to make America the capital of crypto. You know David Sacks is in the administration, so he's behind that. But he also is going to ban central bank digital currencies, and he's going to evaluate the creation of a national digital asset stockpile. So all that sounds forward-thinking and good. I'm only comfortable with it because Sacks is the main guy there. This is the crypto stuff is things I don't have a deep understanding of. Most people don't. So I wouldn't be comfortable with something like this if I heard that it came from, I don't know, Don Jr. because he likes crypto. I'm not making fun of Don Jr. I think he's great. But the source matters, right? If Trump just read an article and decided to do an EO on it, well that would be trouble. If it came from somebody who didn't really understand the space, that would be trouble. But it's coming from Sacks. Like I feel comfortable. Like okay, if Sacks thinks this is a good idea, and of course everything is risk-reward. Nobody can predict 100% what happens with anything. But if it's the right risk-reward, I'm completely comfortable that Sacks has that under control.

And that's what a podcast does for you. If you watch somebody on a popular podcast over a long period of time and you see them talking on all kinds of different topics, especially this one, you get a real feel for whether somebody's playing a game, just trying to make some money, just trying to throw some grenades. And Sacks is just common sense times extraordinary understanding of things times energy times patriotism. Right guy in the right place. Perfectly nicely done, Mr. Trump.

Trump is also talking about saving TikTok with a sovereign wealth fund. Now my understanding of a sovereign wealth fund would be when a country uses its own money to effectively make investments. Why did America not have this already? It's a pretty common thing. It's a pretty common thing for other countries. Saudi has one. You know, I think a lot of countries have one. Why wouldn't we have one?

One of the things that Trump apparently is bringing to the process here is the understanding that America, if it acted in some ways just like a private company, it could unlock investment potential like nobody's ever seen. I'm borrowing a Trumpism. Like nobody's ever seen before. And what I mean by that is because the U.S. government can make something work that corporations maybe wouldn't have the power to make it work. In other words, the U.S. can declare something legal. It can also declare something illegal. It can protect something that a private company couldn't protect. So if you add the military power and the lawmaking power and the regulation creating and removing power to a financial model, it can do better than all other financial models.

And the example is TikTok. TikTok would be the perfect introduction to a sovereign wealth fund. So if you can imagine, let's say the sovereign wealth fund just owns, you know, Trump says 50%, and then you get a bunch of American, and I don't even know if they have to be American. They could be Canadian or any friendly country. There are the other investors. But the important investor would be America because America would say now it's legal. So it turns an asset that's worth nothing into a trillion-dollar asset. And Trump says that directly. It's worth nothing if we say no to it, and I'm saying no to it. It's worth a trillion dollars if we change it so it's appropriate in the United States, and I say yes to it. So why don't I get half of that?

Now let me say it again. It's worth nothing now, but I can make it worth a trillion dollars just simply by making it okay again to operate. And if I can create a trillion dollars of value out of nothing, why doesn't the United States get some of that? And the answer is I don't know. The answer is it's a good idea. What's the pushback? We'd get TikTok. So the users would be happy. At the moment the way it's organized, it's an unacceptable risk. Trump can make that risk go way down by making an American product with an American algorithm. It's all win. It makes you think why weren't we doing this before?

Now TikTok happens to be the perfect example because it's one where the government literally and the president alone can decide whether, well not alone, Congress should be helpful, but he can make it worth a trillion dollars. Take Greenland. Would you invest in a mineral mining operation in Greenland if you knew it wasn't protected and China or Russia could come in and start strong-arming you and getting you in trouble? That's a risk. But suppose Trump says to Greenland, here's the deal. I will remove all risk of invasion. What's that worth to you? Unlimited everything. Well, what would it cost if I were to just buy Greenland? Oh, you couldn't afford it, Mr. President. That'd be almost a trillion dollars. Okay, so a trillion dollars if I buy it. But what if I don't buy it and also don't protect it? What's that worth to you? And the next thing you know, Trump makes a mining operation in Greenland which wouldn't be economical because it's such a big investment and you don't know if you could get elbowed out by a foreign country. And Trump will just make that risk away. Oh no, they're not going to touch you if you put a mining operation in Greenland, and the U.S. puts it there. And let's say they share some of the revenue with the locals, more than they've ever had, quadruple the lifestyle of the locals, and also protect them from any kind of foreign invasion. And maybe if Denmark wants to have some commonwealth kind of connection, let them have it for historical reasons but not any real control. I think this deal can get done. I really think he can get this done. We'll see. But it's brilliant thinking.

And no matter what you think, Trump also signed an executive order to start the process, which could take a long time, to unleash the declassified documents on Kennedy and Kennedy, two Kennedys, and Martin Luther King. And Trump says everything will be revealed.

Now I'm a little confused about something about this story. You're the president of the United States, and you have been the president of the United States at least four other years. The president is allowed in theory to see 100% of all secrets. I'm not wrong about that, am I? The president is allowed to see 100% of all secrets, no exceptions. I think that's what the system is. And yet the president doesn't act like he knows what's in those files. Now it'd be one thing not to know the details, but Kash Patel says he's seen them. So Kash has looked at them, and he's not giving us a hint what's in there but says yes, they should be released.

Do you think that Trump has not once talked to Kash Patel and said, all right, I don't have time to look through all these documents, but are there any big surprises in there? Wouldn't Kash Patel be able to tell him? Because Trump has the ultimate security clearance. Yes, I looked through, and when the public finds out that XYZ is true, it's going to be a big story. I don't think Trump has heard that because Trump's nature is that he's a tease. If he knew what was in there, I think he would have teased us and said, wait till you find out what's in there. That would be like a perfect Trumpism. But he didn't do that. He actually legitimately acts like he doesn't know what's in the files.

Now I think there's nothing in there. I think that if you're expecting that the government files say the government killed the president, well that's a little bit unrealistic because it would be exactly the same people who controlled the files as allegedly would have killed the president. They didn't put it in a memo. I don't think there's any memos. You know, it was before email. It's not like they're going to find the email or the history of online searches or anything. I don't think it's going to be anything. I think all three of them are going to be a yawn. It's going to be stuff we already knew and maybe some details that make you run down a rabbit hole, but you'll end up at the same place you started. So I don't expect anything, and it's going to be a longer process than people want. You know, we're going to forget about it, and then someday there'll be a story that says well I guess we can't show you everything and we can't tell you why. So Mike Pompeo blocked it when Trump was first in office. And I understand that Trump just removed the security clearance for Mike Pompeo. Ouch. Not related, I think, but never know.

All right. So Trump gave a video speech to the World Economic Forum. If you're tapped into this stuff, you know the World Economic Forum is, let's see, they're big on climate change. That's one of their biggest things. And they were big on ESG, which is sort of the corporate form of diversity and equity. So that's what the E in ESG is for, is equity, right? So they love DEI and they love climate change. So that's what the WEF is. They're more than that, but you know those are the big themes.

Trump goes on video, shits all over DEI, brags about getting rid of it, says there are two genders, and he calls the Green New Deal the green new scam. So he's canceling all that green new scam stuff and getting out of the Paris Accords. Now if that's the only thing that happened during his speech, you would say who does that? Who goes to this famous full of billionaire CEOs and heads of state and just tells them that their core mission is harmful? And he said it. He didn't use those words, but he said it as clearly as a person can say it. I mean he didn't leave any doubt. And they sat there and they just took it.

And then he said, because he knew the top bankers were there and one of them was on stage, they had a Bank of America, Trump actually got in his grill in a live video exchange while the entire world was watching and told B of A, you better stop debanking conservatives. And then he brought up Jamie Dimon, the other biggest banker in the country. And Jamie, to you, better stop debanking conservatives. What do you think the bankers said in their statements and such afterwards? We've never debanked any. What are you talking about, debank people? We've never debanked any conservatives.

Well, what kind of conservatives do you think we debanked? Well, let me give you an example, courtesy of Marc Andreessen. Trump's wife, his wife, they debanked. They debanked his wife. And she wasn't the only one. You know, there are plenty of other examples. General Flynn weighed in. Are you kidding? They debanked me. They debanked all these people. Then Eric Prince weighs in. Are you kidding? They debanked me. They debanked my family. They debanked everybody related to me. And then they debanked his ex-wife simply because she'd received some money as your normal divorce money. And then the banker said we've never done that. And as Marc Andreessen points out accurately, huh, it's funny that there's so much debanking that's confirmed and yet no bank was involved. That was just a great moment.

One thing I can tell you is that unless the banks have started looking into all of their debanking past, there's going to be hell to pay. I don't think they're going to get away with we didn't do that. Oh, the fake news will protect us. I'm pretty sure MSNBC will say it never happened, so we'll just say it never happened. Not anymore. It's a new game now. You better do it because we're watching. We're pissed. And you did it. I don't know which bank specifically. Anyway, it's a new day. So that was awesome.

Here's a gigantic event in the world. OpenAI has introduced an agent they call Operator that on your commands will operate your web browser and anything that's signed in basically. And if it needs to do something for an account that you haven't signed in for, it'll notify you, hey I signed in for this. I got to do the next step. And it's been tested, and you can just turn it loose and tell it what to do. It'll go on your web browser. It'll make appointments for you. It'll organize things. It'll get things and put them in whatever order you want. Basically anything you would do, it'll do on your web browser.

Now this is gigantic for somebody like me. If you watch the pre-show, you've probably seen me go through this long manual process of publishing my cartoon every day. Here's what I'll do in the very near future. Hey AI, publish today's cartoon. I will first tell it where to get the comic, you know which file. I'll tell it where to put it and how I organize it. But I'm only going to have to explain it once, and then it will just publish it. So I'm going to replace essentially the entire function of the syndication company that cancelled me with one agent.

If I wanted to be back in newspapers, I don't, but if I wanted to, that agent could contact the newspapers, send them samples, and negotiate a price for those few that would want to put Dilbert back in the paper. I'm not going to do that, but it could do that. It could actually do that. It could finalize the deal. It could set up the direct deposit to my checking account.

Now is that scary? Now let's bang this amazing potential into the other thing that you know about, which is there's no way the big AI companies don't have a back door for the CIA. There's no way national security would be okay with AI uncontrolled. Of course it's controlled. We've heard this also from Marc Andreessen that the venture capitalists were told directly don't fund any little AI companies. We're only going to allow, we the government are only going to allow a few, and we're going to have a back door for national security.

So if you knew that the CIA had a back door to your agent that knew all your passwords and could execute things on your behalf, including access to your bank account, I assume, are you okay with that? On one hand it's so beyond any risk that I would consider acceptable. And then I put it in context. The CIA can already do anything it wants to me. It could take all my money. It can spy on everything I do. It could pretend I did something I didn't do. If the CIA wants to take anybody down, they didn't really need AI to do it. It just, your mind can't separate the fact that you made it so easy. So making it easy might make it worse, but it was already pretty easy. Like if somebody in power wanted to look into you, all they had to do is tell somebody to look into you, and then the underling would do all the work. So the person who made the decision doesn't really even have to do any work. Now so whether they use an agent like a digital agent or whether they use real agents, the people in charge were getting instantly everything they wanted all the time anyway. You didn't really have any privacy.

But speaking of this, that OpenAI agent, Mike Cernovich took a little deeper dive and found out that it has access to news sources. So if you were to ask it to check the news or something like that, it could do it. What news sources? Let's see, there's The Atlantic, which is known to be a Democrat propaganda entity. Really that's all it is. It's not something that could ever make money, and they're not trying to be anything else. They are literally just a propaganda. So that's one of them. But they have four. So they have four news sources. So if the only one was The Atlantic, you'd say oh this is looking wrong because this is just a deep Republican-hating fake news source. But it's not just The Atlantic. Don't worry, it's also three others, including Axios. Axios, wouldn't that be the same news entity that's anti-Trump and funded by OpenAI? Yes it is. It's partially funded by OpenAI. They have a working agreement with Axios, who is not too pro-Trump. But don't worry, those are only two of the four. The other ones I'm sure would be... oh, the other ones are the AP, known to be one of the most productive creators of fake news about Trump. But you have Reuters. Okay, so these would be four of the 10 worst things that you could pick as your news sources.

So Mike Cernovich calls this out. And Sam Altman responded almost immediately. And Altman said, quote, that's a miss. We will fix fast. So Sam is saying that it's a mistake that it was limited to those four and that they'll fix that fast. How many of you believe that that was a mistake? Because it doesn't look like a mistake. And as Mike Cernovich points out in response to Sam's response to him, he said, are there any examples of a quote miss where the error was on the side of Trump and conservatives? Because as I learned from Google, Zuck, and all regime media corrections over the decade, these errors always cut one way. A fair system would have misses on either side. And then Cernovich points out that the tech businesses still don't hire Trump supporters. Wow, yeah. And so that's exactly the right question.

Now I think Sam is probably accurate in saying that wasn't what he intended, but I don't think that his employees were equally open-minded in what this should be. So yeah, there's a big problem that his organization is staffed with lefties who, you know what kind of problems that is. So I mean that's gigantic problems.

Anyway, Chris Sacca, a famous tech investor guy, he was talking about using AI to code. And I had tried the same thing he did. So he also only had minimal programming experience from his past. So recently he asked AI to write him some code for an app. So he said, hey AI, I've got an app, make me some code. And then the entire code for the app just appears. But then he says, and I had the same experience, it's been a long time since I wrote any code. What do I do with it? Like do I copy and paste it somewhere? I had the same question because I was so long out of that game. And the AI would tell them how to do it. So the AI would say yes, you want to download Python, put it on your computer. If you have a Mac, you do it this way. If it's Windows, you do it that way. And then the prompt will be here, and then you do this with the prompt and you put it into Python, and then here's how you execute it.

And he said, you know, my God, it was already so good that you could reduce your number of programmers. But with the new Operator agent, the one I just talked about, all that part, which is what literally stopped me from making an app because I tried to make one too, I just couldn't figure out that last part because I was too distracted and busy. But now I could just say to it, hey AI, write me an app that does this or that. Boom, it's done. Literally that's all it takes. The app just appears. All the code does. And then that part where I didn't know what to do with the code, I just say can you turn that into an app? Boom, it finds Python, it puts it where it needs to, it executes it, and there's your app. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

All right. Here's what Axios is reporting, speaking of Axios. Their headline said Trump left Washington four years ago touting a revolutionary new consensus on the threat posed by China. He returned this week seeming to downplay that threat, signaling a potential thaw on relations between the two countries.

Now do you see the propaganda and brainwashing that's embedded in that? Let me call it out. When do you ever see the word tout? Somebody is touting something. Is that ever in a positive reference? Do people tout things and then the story is to be about how great that is? Wow, it's great that they're touting. No, touting is a subtle insult that you're saying something that's maybe not true, right? It's built into it. A little skepticism. He's touting. Right? The opinion is in the news that you just choose your words and the opinion comes embedded with the news.

So he's touting that there was a consensus about the threat of China. But now they're going to turn it into hypocrisy because that's what the news does to make it a story. It has to be an inconsistency or a hypocrisy. And the hypocrisy they think is that Trump was such a tough talker about China but he says good things about Xi, and now he's talking about how we can work things out.

You know what's missing, right? What's missing is this is exactly how Trump negotiates with foreign leaders every time. And he even explains it. You don't have to guess. He tells you. Yes, I'm going to be very tough with Russia or China or whoever he's talking about. But I get along with the leader, and that's good for everybody because then you can have that talk and you can be as tough as you want because they're not going to take it personally because I like them personally. That is everything you want from your president. That in terms of negotiating, that is everything I want. I want to be friendly enough with the leaders. He gets every access, conversation, nothing is no, just because of who's involved. And they get their reputations benefited by that because it is a big benefit. And then they are in a position where they've gotten something for free because it didn't cost any money for Trump to say yeah, you know, Xi's great. That costs nothing. And then what we get in return is a good healthy negotiation in which both sides fully acknowledge and they're transparent about what they want and what they need to have and how things can work.

So Axios just tortures itself to turn this into some kind of touting and hypocrisy when it's the cleanest example you'll ever see of a top-end negotiator doing top-end negotiating exactly the way you'd want it to happen. So Axios is one of the four sources for OpenAI until Sam Altman fixes it, which he said he's going to do quickly.

There's a bounty hunter bill in Mississippi that would pay $1,000 to bounty hunters for each successful deportation of an illegal that they help to facilitate. So the bounty hunter doesn't have to deport them, just has to facilitate it. Now probably not the best idea. I'm not going to get into the pros and cons. But it made me think that if I were a bounty hunter and this got passed, I would open a restaurant in Mississippi. And I just say I'm hiring. Two-thirds of the people who walk into the restaurant to be dishwashers and line cooks are going to have questionable credentials. You could just sit there in an office and have one after another come in and say, looks a little suspicious to me. You didn't pass the even verify. Then just turn it in. Make $1,000 for every person you interview. At least two-thirds of them. I'm not recommending that. I'm just saying I always think in terms of business models when I read the news.

Trump plans, according to Zerohedge, Trump plans to bring as many as 10,000 troops to the border. I think he's got 1,500 now. But I like that. When I heard it was 1,500, my first reaction was, hm, so in other words barely anything better than nothing. A lot better than nothing. Changes the tone of everything, sets a standard. It's all good. But 1,500 didn't seem like enough. 10,000 is serious. 10,000 removes all questions. If you're wondering if he's deadly serious about the border, yeah, 10,000 troops would get you there. You don't have to wonder anymore. So we don't know if that'll happen, but that's the plan allegedly.

All right. I would like to indulge you by reading something that I posted on X because it got a good response and it's what you need to know. I was challenged several months ago to do the best reframe I could on the January 6 prisoners. And I've been thinking and thinking about this, and everything that I kind of came up with, I tried a number of things to reframe it properly and didn't really catch. But I think I may have gotten it this time.

And I was reacting to a post by Jason Calacanis, who may be listening right now. Jason, I hope you're listening, from the All-In pod. You know him from the All-In pod. And he's a big investor in the tech world. But he was giving Trump a report card for operating so far. And on several items he gave them a high grade. It was just check or X, so it wasn't anything but yes or no. But he gave him a yes on several things that you and I would agree on. Very good. I like that the common sense stuff is not being argued. Just common sense.

But the January 6 stuff is really deeply into the political model. That's not exactly a common sense thing. And if you treat it like it's common sense, I think that's where you go wrong. So I'm going to give you the reframe that I think works best, worded the way I think it works best, in case you want to use it. So from a framing and communication and persuasion perspective, I think this is the best take that I've seen. Certainly the best one I've done. But I think it's the best one I've seen to explain why releasing the, what Jason referred to as the J6ers who beat cops. So that was one of his low grades for Trump, releasing or pardoning or commuting whatever it is the sentences of J6ers who beat cops. So that was the thing that triggered me to do a response.

So I'm just going to read it, and I want you to absorb it. So I started out by saying, quote, J6ers who beat cops is a misleading frame, to put it politely. I said there are people who already served more time than most people with similar offenses. Anything extra is political imprisonment. That's the right frame. But I'm just beginning.

So the start is that if they've served as much time as comparable violators of the law, even violent ones, even violent ones, if they served as much time in general but their sentence would have gone much longer, that much longer part is the political imprisonment part. And it's the only part that Trump forgave. He forgave the political part of the sentence, not the part they've already served, because they did indeed hurt people who in law enforcement.

Now I'd like to also give you some extra context. I agree with most of the country that if you do some violence to a police officer or a first responder of any kind, that should be a longer sentence. Is everybody on board with that? If the only thing you knew, there were no other circumstances, if you hurt a police officer or a fireman or anybody in the first responder world, that hurts society. That's not just the person who got hurt. So once you throw in, my God, are you making it impossible to have police if you're going to be hurting police and we're not going to punish you properly? No, that's a hard line. If you hurt somebody in that field of work, you're hurting me because I'm paying that person, and I don't want to pay them to be on disability. I mean it's not about money. It's about what's right. It's about what works. It's about common sense. So yes, a longer sentence, all things being equal, for that kind of thing makes sense.

But the next part is, are all things equal? Is this just an ordinary, we've got evidence you hurt somebody, it's a police officer or somebody acting in that capacity? No. Here's the extra context that I think makes it make sense for Trump. I said that blame for the violence is not limited to the offenders. And here I'm going to give the offenders one-third of the blame. I said it is one-third because our election systems by design, and that's important, by design, signaled to half the country that an election was stolen. I agree they might be wrong. So I'm not aware of proof that the election was stolen. I'm not aware of proof. But the election design flaw, the lack of transparency, combined with an odd come-from-behind everywhere that mattered that we watched in real time, and the violation of past bellwether patterns, meaning that in the past if you lost in these particular areas you definitely lost the whole country. But if you won in these very, what it's called a bellwether kind of area, it would be almost impossible to win all the bellwethers, say nine out of 10, and then lose the election. Trump did. He won most of the bellwethers and somehow lost an election but not until the last-minute count.

Now again, I have no proof, no proof that the election was stolen. But I don't think anybody reasonable would argue that it was signaling it was stolen. I think all of you will agree. Would you agree that it signaled it was stolen even if it wasn't? Now whoever built and designed a system that you could very much predict in advance would eventually signal that it had been stolen and we wouldn't be able to know for sure because it's designed with not enough transparency that nobody can really know who won. If you design something that guarantees you're going to have this exact problem where people are going to get worked up to the point of violence, if your system design guarantees it predictably, you take a little bit of the responsibility. Not all of it, not all of it, because some of the blame, a lot of it, is on the person who actually swung the bat, used the bear spray and all these terrible things. But they're not alone in the responsibility if you built a system that guarantees it happens.

So you got that. And I said if the protesters were right about the election being stolen, and here's my opinion, and I bet that they were, given that every other American institution has been confirmed to be crooked, that means the protesters acted in, watch the careful wording, the American tradition. Here's what I started to say and backed off. I started to say that's how the American Revolution started. Somebody saw something that looked unfair and they acted. It's how Americans do everything. We look for trouble. If we think we see it, we act. If the trouble is really big, there's no limit to how we act. Right? That's an American tradition. You could talk about violence and nobody's going to say I like violence. I don't like violence. But if you put Americans in a specific situation where they think they're recognizing great evil and great risk, it is an American tradition that they act. And the protesters were in that position where they thought they saw something obviously that looked like a rigged election, and they acted in American tradition. That doesn't make it legal. Remember the Revolutionary War wasn't legal. It wasn't legal, and people got hurt. And now we celebrate it. Why do we celebrate it? Because when things were bad, Americans rose up and they acted, and they didn't put a restriction on what those actions would be because the risk was big enough that they decided that that risk was worth it.

So if Americans act like Americans in the American tradition, maybe they have to serve some jail time depending on what they've done under that context. Maybe. But the context really matters. And the pieces in the media have been telling us forever that we could know and that Trump knew and everybody knew Trump knew that the election was fair. Let's get to that.

The other one-third blame for the violence is with Pelosi and Milley and whoever else turned down the right amount of security. In other words, it was an inviting trap, intentional or otherwise. If protesters saw no hope of getting into the Capitol, would they have acted violently to try to make it happen? If the protesters had pulled up and you know a bunch of military people with military weapons, lots of them, like lots of them, which is what Trump ordered, he ordered lots of them, he just didn't get it. Do you think that the protesters would have said, huh, looks like I got to fight my way through five layers of armed and trained killers who are heavily armed? Maybe not. Maybe not.

So if you're in charge of security and you don't put enough security in and you knew you didn't and you were asked to do it and you didn't do it anyway, you're one-third responsible for violence because security is supposed to prevent violence so that the bad guys come up and say oh it wouldn't make any sense to do any violence in this situation. That'd be crazy. And we're not going to get into the building. But if you think that punching a cop might somehow increase the success of your protest, I don't recommend it by the way, don't punch any cops, but if you think it might work, as bad as that is, if it worked you're going to try it. If you think it's not going to work, you don't try it. That's why security matters.

So I'm going to say one-third it's on the protesters who hurt cops. Don't like that. Very bad. One-third on the security and one-third on the design of the election system which is designed so you can't know who won. Nobody can know on any federal election. It's not knowable. You can only know what they told you. That's it. That's all we know. And you can know if you found proof, but you don't know if there's any proof they didn't find. And that's where the idiots try to convince you you can tell if somebody's been hypnotized, let's say brainwashed, versus they've thought it through. If somebody says, Scott, you have to say the election is fair. Well no I don't. No, everybody knows it was fair. That's not somebody who's thinking about anything. Because if they were thinking about it they would know that all of our institutions are corrupt, right? Science has been lying to us on a lot of things. Health care, we went through the pandemic, need I say more? Finance of course has been rigged at the top forever. Government completely corrupt in so many ways. FBI, Department of Justice, lawfare. We don't have any institutions that aren't corrupt. And we completely know it.

Are you telling me that in the context of everything being corrupt, we've got this non-transparent, potentially easily riggable system, and it's the only thing that wasn't rigged? Oh, how lucky. The only thing that matters the most is the only thing that was pure. Maybe. But that would be the biggest surprise in the world if you've lived in the real world. Do you think that the most important system and the one that you could rig if you wanted to, and you let's say you were the CIA, you think that's the one thing that's not rigged? The one thing that's not a real opinion if you think that. That's like just something to laugh at. Oh, you think that's the one thing that even if we can't tell they didn't rig it? The United States is an election-rigging monster. We've done it, what, 80 coups in other countries, which by the way might be good for America. I'm not sure that the coups are a bad idea. But the point is we have all these very specific methods for rigging elections in other countries. Obviously you think none of that got turned inward? What, because it would be wrong to do it? We just watched the same group of people massively organize this censorship campaign by using every trick that they use against other countries. They're trying to overthrow. So we don't have to wonder if the very same cats are doing things that they would do usually ideally only to other countries that we're trying to somehow control. You think they wouldn't use it internally when we just watched them use the other tools internally? Of course they would. I don't have any proof it happened. But if you think that that's somehow unlikely, you couldn't be dumber. I mean you couldn't be dumber than thinking it's unlikely. Did it happen? I don't know. I don't have any proof anyway.

So then I said this is where the NPCs claim everyone including Trump quote knew it was a fair election. Because, and by the way this is a writing trick. If you know when you're writing something there's going to be a specific disagreement, you want to slay the specific disagreement before it even comes out of their mouth. So that's what I'm doing here. So I'm calling them NPCs and saying if you think you knew it was a fair election, no that is stupid. So I saved my F-word for the point I want them to remember. There is no way for any citizen to know who won any federal election unless the winner is outside the inner circle like Trump and he still wins all the swing states. I'm not too worried that Trump's current election was stolen by Trump because the person who has the least access to the gears of government at that time won overwhelmingly. So that's not something that the bad guys would have done. And I don't think it's something that the Republicans could have pulled off on their own. So that looks real. But not because I can tell the elections are well done. Only because if this person won it means that they didn't have the means to stop them because they wanted to.

All right, so a few more things. There's an ex-CIA agent, what's his name, daily mail is reporting about this. You've seen him in reels probably. He's on social media a lot this week. John Kiriakou. So he worked for the CIA for 14 years as an officer. And he said that the agency actively seeks to hire people who have sociopathic tendencies but avoids them if they have a full-blown disorder. So apparently the ideal CIA agent or officer is somebody who's a little bit sociopath. And that they're the ones who rise to the highest levels.

Now that makes complete sense. You know when you hear about Pompeo trying to organize a hit on Assange, how many of you could organize somebody's murder? Like even if you know I could organize Bin Laden's murder, okay that's easy. I could organize the murder of a cartel hitman. I mean I can do that easily. I mean it wouldn't bother me, my conscience. But it seems like the CIA would be in the business of sometimes getting rid of somebody who was a law-abiding person but they're just in the way. They're stopping some larger national ambition. Now I don't think it's legal to kill somebody like that. But I also think there's some flexibility if you know what I mean. So I do think you probably have to be a bit of a sociopath and that that would allow you to rise to the top. But it might be the only thing that allows you to do the job.

Imagine if you were the head of the CIA and you were super woke and somebody comes to you, you know I think we're going to have to kill this leader of this African country. And you'd be like whoa whoa whoa, you're going to kill a black guy? Well no it's not about being a black guy. He's the leader of this African country, has really big problems. You know we think we want to take him out. You're going to kill a black guy? No I'm not going to allow that. Have you killed an equal number of white guys? Well we're not really keeping track that way. We're just trying to remove people who are threat to our national interest. Okay but you can't kill the black guy first, right? So you need a sociopath who just says what's the reason we need to kill him? All right, approved.

Someone according to Futurism publication, someone invented a fake therapist and got quoted in tons of articles including Newsweek. So I guess there's some chat place where therapists and people talk, and one of them was just a fake one by somebody in some kind of sex product business. They invented a fake one and the fake one did so well that it was widely quoted in national media. Now I don't think the person who invented the fake one necessarily had any therapist skills. It was just somebody else pretending to be a therapist. But just think about the fact that you can simply pretend to be a professional and the news will say well sounds good to us. Sounds good.

Meanwhile according to New Atlas publication, an affordable housing project was 3D printed in just 12 days. So if you like walls that are hard to change after they're done, this 3D printing might be just the thing. They have to finish it with humans using for the electrical and the plumbing and stuff, and that takes the longest time. But it was just a three-unit, three-story multistory thing in eastern Ireland. Now I don't think this technology is quite there, but you could see it's going to be. I would rather the 3D printer made Lego-like blocks that I could just snap together, which exist by the way. There are concrete blocks that snap together like Legos now. And so that if I needed to change an interior wall or even an exterior wall, I would know exactly how to do it because it's made of parts and I can just move them as long as I've got the load-bearing wall. As long as you don't affect the load-bearing part of it, you should be able to play around with your interior space. So I think that's where a 3D printer is getting it wrong because as a homeowner I've made lots of changes to my home after I moved in. And it would bug the heck out of me if there were no practical way to move a wall. But maybe other people would be happy with it.

There's a new drug in testing according to the American Chemical Society. Now you should know that if a drug works in the lab, there's very small chance it's going to work with a human. If they do some testing on a mouse and it works good on a mouse, there's still very little chance it's going to work on a human. However there are cases where the mouse can have a transplant where a human organ is basically attached to the mouse and then they can see if the human organ dies or what happens with the treatment. So if you can get all the way to making a human tumor die in a mouse, then you get very excited.

Now usually when I see stuff like this you hear the new drug makes your chemo 30% more effective, to which I say but you're still on chemo which has got a lot of side effects. It's only 30%. I'm not even sure that's even real. I mean that could just be data noise. I don't know. So usually there are just hundreds of these we've cured cancer things but they don't work out in people. This one looks a little different. So they actually, it actually shrunk tumors in the mouse models. And these were human breast cancer tumors that they put in the mouse. And the expert said it is very rare for a compound to shrink tumors in the mouse models of breast cancer, let alone completely eradicate those tumors with a single dose. Completely eradicated the human tumors in the mouse with one dose, no side effects. Now you have my attention. And now you've got my attention.

Now the odds of it working in humans again, I wouldn't get too excited because there's a very low transfer rate from animal models to humans. But if you see something completely remove a tumor with one dose and it was designed to do it, it wasn't that they were just looking around for stuff. You know they had a good idea that the mechanism would work. That's why they tested it. That's pretty exciting.

Now here's the good news and the bad news. If you have or get cancer in 2025, you have a race against the clock now like has never existed before. Because when I was a kid these same stories were every day when I was 18 years old and not many of these came to fruition. So every day there's some claim of this doesn't work out. But what's different is AI. If you overlay AI on top of this world, the experts in AI are saying you can end up curing basically all the cancers because you could look at the DNA of the person, you could check the specifics of the tumor, and then the AI will tell you exactly the kind of shot to give you that makes those tumors go away.

Now of course there's some medical people who say oh don't let the tech bros talk about science. They're not scientists or they're not medical people. And I get that. But I do think that pattern recognition is going to be the big winning play and that's what AI does well. So it could be, there's no way to know, we could be five years away from cancer just being an annoyance. So if you've got cancer today, you've got a tough choice because you can either do nothing and hope for the single compound that cures your thing but it's going to take a few years to be available, or you can immediately get on the chemo and the brutal stuff that has side effects right away. And when this compound becomes available, if it does, it's not guaranteed, then you would still always have what the side effects gave you even if they cured your cancer because the treatment can give you some pretty bad permanent damage. So the decision about what to do if you've got cancer is completely new territory. I think people are going to make some hard choices. And you're going to see some people just not get treated. And they're just going to say you know what, I'm going to play the long game. I'm just going to roll the dice. So you're going to see people's approach to it change as the technology is changing.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I had for today. I knew this was a little bit long. Thank you for staying, everybody who stayed. Hope it was interesting. And welcome to the Golden Age. Everything's looking good. I'm going to talk to the Locals people privately now. But thanks everybody for joining and come back tomorrow please. And we'll enjoy the Golden Age a little bit more. Hope today was fun. I enjoyed it a lot. All right, Locals coming at you in 30 seconds.

well let's check the stocks and see how the stock market's doing well everybody's coming in oh pretty good all right looks like uh mildly up in the things that I care about mildly rumbles up wow well let's get my comments going and then we'll have the show that you've been waiting for wow it's going to be good you'll love it just you wait all right locals let's see your comments there you go we're all set for Action good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time wait wait I'm getting some breaking news there is a new study um it turns out I'm not making this up but there's a study in the American Journal of EP epidemiology epidemiology they found that caffeine consumption was associated with higher levels of testosterone and better erections well seppers I salute you but if you'd like to join in all I all you need is a coverer m glass tanker Chelsea sign a canteen sugar flask a vessel of any kind even a blood vessel if you know what I mean fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine head of the day salute is that what salute means probably not probably not it's a new meaning all right well you've probably heard the rumors by now but people they're just rumors that uh Barack Obama is about to have a uh mic drop moment a mic drop that's right if you're sitting at home I'll give you a moment yeah the rumor is there's going to be a mic drop a moment that's all I have to say on that anyway according to rasmason the Trump job performance is amazing so the latest is that as a third Thursday 56% of likely us voters approved of Trump's job performance for the first week and uh guess what the overnight is the overnight is Trump at 59% approval does that even seem possible now rason um gets a lot of uh got gets a lot of criticism from the Democrats and part of the reason they get criticized is they're one of the most accurate pollsters and they generally have a better view of you know better results on Trump than let's say the average of the other pollsters uh but they're also closer so they're they're consistently more right about Trump related stuff so this is incredible 59% approval and and I feel like I feel like the criticism has just turned into nothing you know we'll talk about all the stuff Trump's doing but I'm just not seeing push back anywhere I mean there's you know blah blah blah but not really it's like the whole country just said we don't have to pretend anymore let just let Dad do what Dad does and we just don't need to pretend that we disagree with everything all the time automatically unbelievably good but uh so now you know how Trump's job performance is doing I would say that Trump and the Republicans are having in my lifetime maybe the best week they've ever had would that be fair to say would it be fair to say that in my entire lifetime there's never been a better week for Republicans I think that's true I I can't think of any time that they got more done um controlled the narrative changed everything that needed to be changed you know did 2011 by now it's X more I mean I've never seen anything like this so we know we know that Trump's doing well and the Trump effect is in force but let's not forget there's another major political party and you know they could be doing good things too but maybe getting overshadowed because of the news coverage so I wanted to check in just to make sure Democrats are also getting some stuff done and yes turns out Democrats have they're making some inroads uh specifically there's a Mississippi Democrat I think it is a first year on the job and he's introducing some uh legislation in Mississippi uh to make it illegal for men to masturbate uh because he thinks masturbation should be limited to reproduction so but he thinks it according to the uh legislation it it would be okay if you wore a condom when you masturbate I don't think I'm making that up that's the way I read it I I think this is real I'm not making any of this up that's right president Trump is Reviving The Economy establishing America as the great superpower putting 10,000 people on the border to close it for good but not to be outdone a Democrat in Mississippi is trying to make it illegal to masturbate um it would be the first penalty would be $1,000 I just want to know how they get the information are you supposed to self-report is it like the gift tax they just expect you to tell them so it's $1,000 for the first offense the second one would be $5,000 and if you if you whack off three times the third one would be $110,000 and all I'm thinking is if if I live if I lived in Mississippi I'd be sitting there thinking all right it's $10,000 maybe just twice anyway that's real uh this is also real according to uh broni writing in Red State uh that Gren John Pierre the recent spokesperson for Biden uh she's uh she's being profiled in Vanity Fair now you say to yourself okay I mean Vanity Fair does sort of high-profile attractive looking people uh she's an attractive person she's high-profile so that makes sense and then I read on uh she wrote the profile herself okay that's funny did she write a glowing profile of herself for Vanity Fair it's actually called Vanity Fair if it weren't called vanity it wouldn't be so fun that she wrote it herself you know what I mean but it gets funnier can anybody guess what she's blaming for her lack of success if you guessed racism if you guess racism is what she's blaming for a lack of a screaming success you'd be right she says it's racism yep yep imagine being alive and not being aware that for the past 40 years 40 years the best thing you could be is anything but a white man in terms of employment for 40 years it's been true absolutely hard true for 40 years that the worst thing you could possibly be as a white man in any kind of American job the best thing what's the best thing you could be for the past 40 years black female lesbian it's number one in the entire stacking of the Ridiculousness that the Democrats brought us for the last 40 years it's number one on the best thing you could possibly be for your career there's nothing higher than that but imagine being so stupid you don't even know that you don't even know that everything was stacked in your direction that's amazing 40 years it's been true and it hasn't been just a little bit true it's been the most true obvious documented ask any single person who's been alive and been in a corporate world for 40 years it's the truest true thing that there that has ever been true and she doesn't know it what kind of a weird imaginary world is that like so weird The Wall Street Journal has an article I now I can't believe this is really being discussed right just hold in your mind all the conversations we've had on this topic and then be amazed that it's a headline story today today it's still a story all right the Wall Street Journal is reporting that I guess there's some maybe some changes that might be coming to the dietary guidelines in the United States from the government and there's a big uh debate whether drinking a little bit of alcohol is good for you it's 2025 by now we're completely aware that unless the unless the study is actually paid for by the alcohol business they all say it's bad for you it's the most well understood thing in science of course every drink is bad for you but because the alcohol industry still has some you know sketchy studies out there they're like well look at my study I know you've got 10 studies but look at my four studies and so they're still arguing whether a little bit of alcohol is actually good for your health yeah a little bit of poison it's just what you need a little bit of poison well here's what they could have done to save some time they could have asked Scott and uh here's how that conversation would have gone uh the experts would say Scott is alcohol bad for people even in low doses we can't tell because the data is mixed and then here's what I would say maybe you should check who funds the studies saying poison is good for you then the experts would say you are a genius thank you for saving us so much money and time I'm pretty sure that's how it would go so next time guys ladies next time you have a question about whether alcohol is good for you big timesaver as Scott over in uh the UK uh the UK being stupid again when was the last story about when was the last time you heard a story about the UK that wasn't about them being stupid I don't even remember one it's either they're lying or stupid or weasels like every story about the UK is that a coincidence or if they turn into lying stupid weasel I mean you know my instinct is is just uh that's the news that is catching my attention they must be doing something right right is there anything that the UK is doing right but here's a story just a small one that the uh BMW um the UK I guess what would you call it the UK BMW group um the BMW has decided decided to announce it that is no longer going to post on X number one why would you announce it what would be the point of announcing that well the only thing I can think of is that they're they're announcing it because they're protesting something that Elon must did can you think of any other reason I can so BMW is uh protesting act uh they're doing it at exactly the same time that I was trying to figure out what my next car will be which has taken me a few years to figure out because I'm right on the fence between going electric which seems like obviously the future and stay in gas as long as I can because it's you know gas stations are more plentiful so I was kind of on the offence but I was thinking you know another BMW that's what I've been driving for years maybe you maybe one more and then I see this uh we're not the UK so it's not the UK BMW but I'm not cool with that I'm not cool with you being such but holes so you have to announce you're doing it I wouldn't even care if they simply didn't do it if they simply didn't do it I'd be like I I don't even know I don't care you know not everybody has to do everything it doesn't matter if somebody's not doing something but announcing it announcing it that's just being dicks I'm not going to drive the automobile of dicks so I'm probably going to get a Tesla because BM W UK or just being dicks like the the cool thing about BMW is I like the brand the cars are very good but I like the I like the brand like I just how you know it felt right sometimes your personality or something matches a brand but I don't want to be driving a dick car so probably that'll push me into the Tesla y just my guess we'll see that's not a final decision AOC was on John Stewart's podcast and they had great agreement and a good laugh over the question of Democrats being Hypocrites by being in favor of insider trading now both Stuart and AOC say directly it is insider trading which is legal it's specifically legal if you're in Congress now I actually understand why they have that rule I don't know has anybody explained to you why they have the the rule that they can do insider trading I don't you know I'm sure it's just self-interest but the rationalization would be that you would be essentially prohibiting them from just normal investing because sooner or later something they normally invest in is going to look like they had Insider information next thing you know they're going to get arrested for just making ordinary Investments like every other American so I'm actually quite sympathetic to allowing them to do it um but I think we should have more transparency I think this is one where instead of banning it let's just know exactly who's doing what the the midpoint the only midpoint I can imagine is if they and this might not be practical uh if the Congress had to its members um don't invest in these these topics because they're part of upcoming discussions so get there before the discussion and say we're going to put a moratorium just on let's say these six companies just for a few months because that's when we're going to have more information than the public I don't know if there was a practical way to make that happen that'd be good or alternately just tell the public which things the Congress is talking about and then show us what people are investing in full transparency and then when that person runs for election their opponent says well you know here here's the Watchdog list here's what they were talking about here's what he invested in that could matter I could see voters saying yeah that actually does matter to me um but AOC and Stewart both agree that uh what it does when Democrats are in favor of keeping it which they are that it makes them easy targets for Republicans to say you Hypocrites look what you're doing and interest ly um it's just interesting they're calling out their own side for this huge error now I remember before Trump was president if AOC and John Stewart were on a podcast the one and only thing you would expect from that is dunking on Republicans and instead they dunked on Democrats hard they dunked hard on Democrats this is the Trump effect is it not th this is Democrats trying to figure out how to do something different from everything they've done and AOC whatever you want to say about AOC you know I fully accept all the criticisms as you know often valid but remember I tell you that she is a unique character and that she can break frame sometimes they can't the rest of them can't do it fedman can do it fedman can break frame uh Eric he can break frame AOC can break frame now that's not always you know good it doesn't mean they're great doesn't mean you should vote for any of them because of that but it's rare and when everybody whenever anybody can break frame I I always pay attention so I'm going to pay attention to this one meanwhile CBS even news fired uh fired Nora O'Donnell who has not been historically very favorable to president Trump is this the Trump effect yes yes it is Trump destroyed the reputation and therefore the entire business model of traditional news and they are in freefall and trying to figure out how to make it work but I'm going to put the uh I'm going to put my MBA hat on for a minute and uh instead of looking this as a political thing I'm going to look at it which it might be it might be that the network is trying to be a little little less anti Trump because they need to have access to the administration to make stories and stuff so it could be just normal politics overlapping business but there's a bigger business question I think that the days of hiring a gazillion dollar host to just read the news is not a business model that can ever work again because they're competing against podcasters who were just killing it here's what I'm going to I'm going to make a prediction about the traditional news business I think they're going to morph into a syndication company and what I mean is that instead of being the people who essentially own the talent I think they're going to become a platform for distribution and promotion but that they'll work with essentially podcasters who are in charge of their own content so it's not it's not for podcasters like me because I'm almost entirely opinion-based but there are there are podcasters um who have real news experience you know I'll just pick one randomly but not not to I'm not anticipating that this one goes into that model but just for example so somebody like Megan Kelly has a huge audience and also has a lot of experience in the traditional news business if somebody like CBS said hey we got a new model we're just going to distribute people you know um and you just have to do all the content content that seems like that would be a good model because that's how cartoons work by the way um the way the cartooning industry Works mostly is that the cartoonists don't work for the newspaper some of the political ones do but the the ones that are three strip you know four four panel kinds of things they don't work for the newspaper they're part of a syndication group where there's a business that does all the distribution and the promotion and then the content people draw the comics and then they just share the money so I think TV news is going to turn into a syndication model because nothing else will work they're not going to pay $10 million for a celebrity why it would make more sense to pay zero dollar and say We'll distribute you if you can get a big audience we both make money so it's just positive from the first day that's what I think Ross alri as you know uh the creator of the Silk Road who was in jail for two life sentences plus 40 years has been uh was he pardoned or commuted I forget which which word it is but he's a free man now and he did a little video uh directed that President Trump now this was really interesting because clearly if you had your life saved by President Trump as he did Trump just saved his life for all practical purposes and you can't leave that alone you're going to have to acknowledge that that was a great thing for you and he does but you don't you also don't want to be killed in 2025 by all the wokies who can't stand the fact that you thanked Trump so he picked his words so carefully that it reminds you how smart he is and and how smart he is is really sort of the be story on this I don't think you all completely understand that he's not ordinary smart Ross he's he's extra all right he's one of the special ones and so when he picks his words carefully I like I like to pay attention to the exact words here's what he said he said I'm a free man now so let it be known that Donald Trump is a man of his word thank you so much president Trump for giving me this amazing blessing now look at his words I'm a free man now it be known that Trump is a man of his word isn't that a great compliment it really is if you're Trump this is like the best compliment you could ever get that you're a man of your word like that's that is so just right but also it's non-controversial at least in terms of the specific thing because if Trump said he would do it and then he did it calling him out as a man of his word at least on this particular item is exactly right so he didn't go too far and put himself at risk with the the left part of the country but yet he delivered a compliment which I say one of the best ones I've ever heard and and there's no there's no arguing that if he said he'd do it and then he did it yeah man of his word that's worth something Isis uh gotta I don't want to say rounded up if you've watched any of the uh coverage Tom homman always corrects everybody who says that they're rounding up people he like no very targeted enforcement of specific people we're not rounding up and that's a good correction so they got 538 criminal uh aliens let to use the new modern word and uh in some cases they got some people who were in the same room exactly like you said they would every everybody's been warned they know if you're in the same room as the the person they're looking for you're in trouble so warning is all you can do I mean you got to do your job and I guess they're doing it and they're doing it hard so they got they got criminal gang members they got people with all kinds of bad crimes sex offenders uh that's 538 people who aren't going to be offending again if if they really go away and stay away Trump signed uh some gu kind of executive order or he said he would he would approve power plants that are associated with AI data centers so if you didn't know AI requires so much processing you have to build a whole Data Center and and enormous ones bigger than we've had historically in order just to get to the next level of AI but they use so much power that you would drain the grid I think we need about twice as much energy as we anticipate as we anticipate having under Baseline so we got to really ramp it up and Trump's take on this is you know you're going to do you can do anything you can use natural gas you you know that would be ideal except he's better than coal but he's not going to limit what they can do they can build they can build a nuclear power plant gas geothermal what whatever it takes now that feels to me like trying to win other words you know keeping America strong and powerful and having the right energy profile is everything you need to win I mean it's the thing that feeds the military the economy everything so having Trump say I'm taking the controls at least the the useless controls I'm taking the useless controls off of the energy program in the United States and then tying it to the AI stuff gives them a whole bunch of fans in the AI World which is basically everybody who's paying attention and makes us competitive now what's it do to the environment not ideal not ideal but I I think it was chth from the all in the Allin pod was saying that even if you wanted to build your own solar plant because you want to be green if you want to build your own giant solar facility to accompany your AI data center you wouldn't be able to do it because the approval would take so long that it just wouldn't be a practical project so Trump this is a weird thing Trump by removing the ridiculous obstacles could make solar power finally reach its potential because it's the it's the environmentalists who tell you you have to do solar and see environmentalists who tell you you can't that's what jth is kind of explaining you should see jth on the Tucker Carlson podcast I haven't finished it yet but like I said it's it's the most eye openening jaw-dropping incredible set of you know useful points that you should understand uh it's it's really special you know so you got to watch that um so that's a big big deal if you if you're looking for some optimism this story about allowing any kind of power plant you know not stupid but you know just normal power plants to be associated with AI and letting the tech letting the tech Giants sort of take control of how that um functions honestly I can't think of anything that would be better for America right now I mean it's just about I mean that's just so good so good um and it doesn't even look like the government you expect I I kind of expect my government to be just stopping me from doing stuff and when you see somebody who's in the government Trump making it easier to do stuff important stuff like critically important existential stuff you can't get more optimistic than this this this is special it really is speaking of that Trump's going to visit the LA fire Zone today so a few sub stories to that number one um did did Biden ever I I think he was already kind of done by the by the time of the fire but uh Trump's going to be there and uh Nome said he's going to be greeting him at the tarmac which suggests that Nome is not invited to tour the actual fire areas so it sounds like uh Nome wanted to insert himself but the only place he could be sure it would be acceptable is greeting him at the airport uh now there could be a second reason for this you know that there's still some fires burning you know there's always some smoldering Embers and stuff so it could be that nome's hair gel presents too much of risk you know you don't want to put that much of a oh never mind it's not about his hair hair gel but uh so nome's in an awkward situation uh people expect him to be the leader of the opposition to Trump at the same time he has to beg him for money so I wonder if he can separate those two things or if he feels like he'll just you know try to do both at the same time ah Mr.

Trump uh Mr.

President thank you so much for coming here we we really need a lot of help uh $2.5 billion and by the way you're a fascist what what yeah we said I said we we're going to need a lot of help from the federal government really appreciate that you came here it means a lot to us we need at least 10 billion and you're Hitler wait what what like how's that conversation go exactly I don't know awkward um the good news is um that uh I know he's going to be talking to the right people and I won't say more about that but I'll just say that one of the things that Trump does so well that I and I've never seen anything like it is that he has feelers among his base and on the ground like I've never seen like if somebody has a better idea about anything it actually gets to him like it doesn't matter who it is anybody who has a good idea it's just a good idea and you you you can bu it up through people who have bigger accounts and they say oh that is a good idea and then sooner or later there's somebody on his staff who sees it and he actually hears about stuff like I've seen that play out a number of times and I think that's playing out again with his visit to La so we'll see how it goes I'll be vague for now but in terms of knowing that he's going to connect with the right people when he's there done done and that probably bubbled up from the right people and that's how you want your country to work uh meanwhile Trump signed an executive order on crypto trying to make America the capital of crypto you know David saaks is in the administration so he's behind that but he also is going to ban Central Bank digital currencies and he's going to evaluate the creation of a national digit asset stockpile so all that sounds Forward Thinking and good um I'm only comfortable with it because sax is you know the main guy there this is a the crypto stuff is things I don't have a deep understanding of most people don't so I wouldn't be comfortable with something like this if I heard that it came from I don't know Don Jr because he likes crypto I'm not making fun of Don Jr.

I think he's great but the source matters right if if Trump just read an article and decided to do an EO on it well that would be trouble if it came from somebody who didn't really understand the space that would be trouble but it's coming from Sachs like I feel comfortable like okay if Sachs thinks this is a good idea and of course everything is risk reward you nobody can predict 100% what what happens with anything but if it's the right risk reward I'm completely comfortable that sax has that under control and that's what that's what a podcast does for you if you watch somebody on a popular podcast over a long period of time and you see them talking on all kinds of different topics especially this one you get a real feel for whether somebody's playing a game just trying to make some money just throw trying to throw some grenades and uh sax is just common sense times extraordinary understanding of things times energy times patriotism right guy in the right place perfectly nicely done Mr.

Trump uh Trump is also talking about saving Tik Tock with a sovereign wealth fund now my understanding of a sovereign wealth fund would be when a country uses its own money to effectively make investments why did America not have this already it it's a pretty common thing it's a pretty common thing for other countries Saudi has one you know I think a lot of countries have one why wouldn't we have one one of the things that Trump apparently um one of the things that Trump apparently is bringing to the process here is the understanding that America if it acted um if it acted in some ways just some ways like a private company it could unlock invest M potential like nobody's ever seen I'm borrowing a a trumpism like nobody's ever seen before and what I mean by that is because the US government can make something work that corporations maybe wouldn't have the power to make it work in other words the the US can declare something legal it can also declare something illegal it can protect something that a private company couldn't protect so if you add the the milit AR Power and the lawmaking power and the regulation creating and removing power to a financial model it can do better than all other Financial models and the example is Tik Tock Tik Tock would be the perfect introduction to a sovereign wealth fund so if you can imagine let's say The Sovereign wealth fund just owns you know Trump says 50% and then you get a bunch of American and I don't even know if they have to to be American they could be Canadian or any friendly country um there're the other investors but the important investor would be America because America would say now it's legal so it turns an asset that's worth nothing into a trillion dollar asset and Trump says that directly it's worth nothing if we say no to it and I'm saying no to it it's worth a trillion dollars if we change it so it's appropriate in the United States and I say to it so why don't I get half of that now let me say it again it's worth nothing now but I can make it worth a trillion dollars just simply by making it okay again to operate and if I can create a trillion dollars of value out of nothing why don't why doesn't the United States get some of that and the answer is um uh I don't know the answer is it's a good idea what's the push back we'd get Tik Tock so the users would be happy at at the moment the way it's organized it's it's an unacceptable risk Trump can make that risk go way down by making an American product with an American algorithm it's all win it's what it makes you think why weren't we doing this before now Tik Tok happens to be the perfect example because it's one where the the government literally and the president alone can decide whether well not alone Congress should be helpful but uh but he can make it worth a trillion dollars take Greenland would you invest um in a mineral mining operation in Greenland if you knew it wasn't protected and China or Russia could come in and start strong arming you and getting you in trouble that's a risk but suppose suppose Trump says to Greenland here's the deal I will remove all risk of invasion what's that worth to you uh unlimited everything well what would it cost if I were to just buy Greenland oh you couldn't afford it Mr.

President that'd be that'd be almost a trillion dollars okay so a trillion dollars if I buy it but what if I don't buy it and also don't protect it what's that worth to you and the next thing you know Trump makes a a mining operation in Greenland which wouldn't be economical because it's such a big investment and you don't know if it's going to get if you could to get elbowed out by a foreign country and Trump will just make that risk away oh no they're not going to touch you if you put a mining operation in Greenland and the US the US puts it there and let's say they share some of the revenue with the locals more than they've ever had quadruple the the lifestyle of the locals and also protect them from any kind of foreign Invasion and and if maybe if Denmark wants to have some Commonwealth kind of connection let him have it for historical reasons but not any real control I think this deal can get done I really think he can get this done we'll see but it's it's brilliant thinking and no matter what you think uh Trump also signed a executive order to start the process which could take a long time to uh unleash the Declassified documents on Kennedy and Kennedy two kennedies and Martin Luther King and Trump says everything will be revealed now I'm a little I'm a little confused about something about this story you're the president of the United States and you have been the president of the United States at least four other years the president is allowed in theory to see 100% of all secrets I'm not wrong about that am I the president is allowed to see 100% of all secrets no exceptions I think that's what the system is and yet the president doesn't act like he knows what's in those files now it it' be one thing not to know the details but cash Batel says he's seen them so cash has looked at him and he's not giving us a hint what's in there but says yes they should be released do you think that Trump has not once talked to cash Patel and said all right I don't have time to look through all these documents but are there any big surprises in there wouldn't cash Patel be able to tell him because Trump as the ultimate security clearance yes I look through and uh when the public finds out that XYZ is true uh it's going to be a big story I don't think Trump has heard that he because Trump's nature is that he's a tease if he knew what was in there I think he would have teased us and said way do you find out what's in there that's that would be like a perfect trumpism but he didn't do that he actually legitimately acts like he doesn't know what's in the files now I think there's nothing in there I think that if if you're expecting that the government files say the government killed the president well that's a little bit unrealistic because it would be exactly the same people who controlled the files as allegedly would have killed the president they didn't put it in a memo I don't think there's any memos you know it was before email it's not like they're going to find the email or the the history of you know online searches or anything I don't think it's going to be anything I don't think I think all three of them are going to be a yawn it's going to be stuff we already knew and maybe some details that make you run down a rabbit hole but you'll end up at the same place you started so I don't expect anything and it's going to be a longer process than people want you know we're going to forget about it and then somay there'll be a story that says well I guess we can't show you everything and we can't tell you why so Mike Pompeo blocked it when Trump was uh first in office and I understand that Trump just removed the security clearance for Mike Pompeo ouch um not related I think but never know all right so Trump gave a um video speech to the world economic forum uh if you're tapped into this stuff you know the world economic forum is let's see they're they're big on climate change that's one of their biggest biggest things and they were big on ESG which is sort of the corporate form of uh diversity and Equity so that's what the E and ESG is for is equity right so they love Dei and they love climate change so that that's what the wef is they're more than that but you know those are the big themes Trump goes on video shits all over Dei brags about getting rid of it says there are two genders and uh he calls the green New Deal the green news scam so he's canceling all that green news scam stuff and getting out of the Paris Accords now if that's the only thing that happened during his speech you would say who does that who goes to this you know famous full of billionaire CEOs and heads of state and just tells them that their core their core mission is harmful and he said it he didn't use those words but he said it as clearly as a person can say it I mean he didn't leave any doubt and they sat there and they just took it and then he said because he knew the top Bankers were there and one of them was on stage they had a Bank of America Trump actually got in his grill in in a live video exchange while the entire world was watching and told B OFA you better stop debank conservatives and then he brought up Jamie Diamond the other biggest Banker in the country and Jamie to you better stop debank conservatives what do you think the bankers said in their statements and such afterwards we've never debanked any what are you talking about debank people we've never debanked any conservatives well what kind of conservatives do you think we debanked well let me give you an example courtesy of Mark andreon Trump's wife his wife wife they debanked they debanked his wife you and she wasn't the only one you know there there are plenty of other examples General Flynn weighed in are you kidding they de banked me they debanked all these people then Eric Prince weighs in are you kidding they debanked me they debanked my family they debanked everybody related to me and then they debanked his exf wife simply because she'd received some money yeah as your normal divorce money and then the banker said we've never done that and as Mark andreon points out accurately huh it's funny that there's so much Deb banking that's confirmed and yet no Bank was involved that was just a great moment one thing I can tell you is that unless the banks have started looking into all of their de banking past there's going to be hell to pay uh I don't think they're going to get away with we didn't do that oh the the fake news will protect us uh uh I'm pretty sure MSNBC will say it never happened so we'll just say it never happened not anymore it's a new game now you better do it because we're watching we're pissed and you did it I don't know which bank specifically anyway it's a new day so that was awesome um here's a gigantic event in the world open AI has introduced a an agent uh they call Operator that on your commands will operate your your web browser and anything that's signed in basically and if it needs to do something for an account that you haven't signed in for it'll it'll notify you hey I signed in for this I got to do the next step and it's been tested and you can just turn it loose and tell it what to do it'll go on your web browser it'll it'll make appointments for you it'll organize things it'll get things and put them in whatever order you want basically anything you would do it'll do on your web browser now now this is gigantic for somebody like me uh if you watch the pre-show you you've probably seen me go through this long manual process of publishing my cartoon every day here's what I'll do in the very near future hey AI published today's Cartoon I will first tell it where to get the comic you know which file I'll tell it where to put it and how I organize it but I'm only going to have to explain it once and then it will just publish it so I'm going to replace essentially the entire function of the syndication company that cancelled me with one agent if I wanted to be back in newspapers I don't I don't but if I wanted to that agent could contact the newspapers send them samples and negotiate a price for those few that would want to put dber back in the paper I'm not going to do that but it could could do that it could actually do that it could finalize the deal it could it could set up the direct deposit to my checking account now is that scary now let's uh bang this amazing amazing potential into the other thing that you know about which is there's no way the big AI companies don't have a back door for the CIA there's no way National Security would be okay with AI uncontrolled of course it's controlled uh we've heard this also from Mark andreon that uh the Venture capitalists were told directly don't fund any little AI companies we're only going to allow we the government are only going to allow a few and we're going to have a back door for National Security so if you knew that the CIA had a back door to your agent that knew all your passwords and could execute things on your behalf including access to your bank account I assume you okay with that on one hand is so beyond so beyond any risk that I would consider acceptable and then I put it in context the CIA can already do anything it wants to me it could take all my money it can spy on everything I can do you could pretend I did something I didn't do if the CIA wants to take anybody down they didn't really need AI to do it it it just your mind can't separate the fact that you made it so easy so making it easy might make it worse but it was already pretty easy like if somebody in power wanted to look into you all they had to do is tell somebody to look into you and then the underling would do all the work so the person who made the decision doesn't really even have to do any work now so whether they use an agent like a digital agent or whether they use real agents the people in charge were getting instantly everything they wanted all the time anyway you didn't really have any privacy but speaking of this that open AI agent Mike cernovich took a little deeper dive and found out that it has access to new sources so if you were to ask it you know to check the news or something like that it could do it uh what news sources let's see there's the Atlantic which is known to be a Democrat propaganda entity really that's all it is it it's not something that could ever make money and they're not trying to be anything else they are literally just a propaganda so that's one of them but they they have four so they have four new sources so if the only one was the Atlantic you'd say oh this is looking wrong because this is just a de Republican hating fake news source but it's not just The Atlantics don't worry it's also so three others including axios axios wouldn't that be the same news entity that's anti-trump and funded by open AI yes it is it's partially funded by open AI they have a working agreement with axios who is not too Pro Trump but don't worry those are only two of the four the other ones I'm sure would be oh the other ones are the AP known to be one of the most productive creators of fake news about Trump uh but but you have uh oh Reuters okay so these would be four of the 10 worst things that you could pick as your news sources so Mike cernovich calls this sound and uh on a and Sam mman responded almost immediately and Alman said quote uh that's a Miss we will fix fast so Sam is saying that it's a mistake that it was limited to those four and that they'll fix that fast uh how many of you believe that that was a mistake because doesn't look like a mistake and as Mike covich points out in response to Sam's response to him he said are there any examples of a quote Miss uh where the error was on the side of trump and conservatives because as I learned from Google Zuck and all regime media Corrections over the decade uh these errors quote always cut one way a fair system would have misses on either side and then CNO points out that the the tech businesses still don't hire Trump supporters wow yeah and then so that that's that's exactly the right question now um I think Sam is probably accurate in saying that wasn't what he intended but I don't think that his employees were equally open-minded in what this should be so yeah there's a big problem that his his organization is staffed with uh lefties who who you know what kind of problems that is so I mean that's G gigantic problems um anyway uh Chris sacka a famous Tech investor guy um he was talking about using AI to code and I had tried the same thing he did so he also only had you know minimal programming experience from his past so and recently he asked AI to write him some code for an app so he said hey AI I've got an app make me some code and then and the the entire code for the app just appears but then he says and I had the same experience uh it's been a long time since I wrote any code what do I do with it like do I copy and paste it somewhere I had the same question because I was so long out of out of that game and the AI would tell them how to do it so the AI would say uh yes you want to download python uh put it on your computer um if you have a Mac you do it this way if it's Windows you do it that way and then the The Prompt will be here and then you do this with the prompt and you put it into Python and then here's how you execute it and he said you know my God it was already already so good that you know you could reduce your number of programmers but with the new operator agent the one I just talked about all that part which is what literally stopped me from making an app because I tried to make one too I just couldn't figure out that last part because I I was you know too distracted and busy but now I could just say to it hey uh AI write me an app that does this or that boom it's done literally that's all it takes the app just appears uh all the code does and then that part where I didn't know what to do with the code I just say can you turn that into an app b boom it finds python it puts it where it needs to it executes it and there's your app unbelievable unbelievable all right um here's what axios is reporting speaking of axios um their headline uh said Trump left Washington four years ago touting a revolutionary new consensus on the threat posed by China he returned this week seeming to downplay that threat signaling a potential thaw on relations between the two countries now do you see the propaganda and brainwashing that's embedded in that let me call it out when do you ever see the word tout somebody is touting something is that ever in a positive reference do people tout things and then the story is to be about how great that is wow it's great that they're touting no touting is a subtle insult that you're saying something that's maybe not true right it's built into it a little skepticism he's touting right the opinion is in the news that you just choose your words and the opinion comes embedded with the news so he's touting that there was a consensus about the threat of China but now they're going to turn it into hypocrisy because that's what the news does to make it a story it has to be an inconsistency or an hypocrisy and the hypocrisy they think is that Trump was such a tough talker about China but he says good things about she and now he's talking about how we can work things out you know what's missing right what's missing is this is exactly how Trump negotiates with foreign leaders every time and he even he explains it you don't have to guess he tells you um yes I'm going to be very tough with Russia or China or whoever he's talking about um but I get along with the leader and that's good for everybody because then you can have that talk and you can be as tough as you want because they're not going to take it personally because I like them personally that is everything you want from your president that in terms of negotiating that is everything I want I want to be friendly enough with the leaders they he gets every access conversation nothing is no just because of Who's involved and they get their you know they get their uh let's say reputations benefited by that because it is a big benefit and then they are in a position where they've gotten something for free because it didn't cost any money for Trump to say yeah you know she's great that costs nothing and then what we get in return is a a good healthy negotiation in which both sides fully acknowledge and they're transparent about what they want and what they need to have and how things can work so axios just tortures itself to turn this into some kind of touting and hypocrisy when it's the cleanest example you'll ever see of a topend negotiator doing topend negotiating exactly the way you'd want it to happen so axios is one of the four sources for open AI until Sam mman fixes it which he said he's going to do quickly um there's a bounty hunter bill in Mississippi that would pay $1,000 to bounty hunters for each successful deportation of an illegal that they help to facilitate so the Bounty Hunter doesn't have to deport them uh just has to facilitate it now probably not the best idea I'm not get into the pros and cons but it made me think that if I were a bounty hunter and this got passed I would open a restaurant in Mississippi and I just say I'm hiring two-thirds of the people who walk into the restaurant to be you know dishwashers and line cooks are going to have questionable you know questionable credentials you could just sit there in an office and have one after another come in and say m looks a little suspicious to me you didn't pass the even verify uh then just turn it in make a $1,000 for every person you interview at least two-thirds of them I'm not recommending that I'm just saying I always think in terms of business models when I read the news um Trump plans according to zeroed Trump plans to bring as many as 10,000 troops to the Border I think he's got 1,500 now but I like that when I heard it was 1500 my first reaction was hm so in other words you know barely anything better than nothing A lot better than nothing you know changes the tone of everything sets a standard you know it's all good but 1,500 didn't seem like enough 10,000 is serious 10,000 removes all questions if you're wondering if he's deadly serious about the Border yeah 10,000 troops would get you there you don't have to wonder anymore so we don't know if that'll happen but that's the plan allegedly all right I would like to uh indulge you in uh by reading something that I posted on X because it got a good response and it's what you need to know um I was challenged several months ago to do the best reframe I could on the January 6 prisoners and I've been thinking and thinking about this and everything that I kind of came up with I tried to number number of things to reframe it properly um and didn't really catch but I think I may have gotten it this time and I was look I was reacting to a post by Jason calacanis who may be listening right now Jason I hope you're listening um from the all-in Pod you know him from the all-in Pod and he's a big investor in the tech world but he was giving a trump a uh a report card for operating so far and uh on several on several items he gave them a high grade it was just Checker act so it wasn't you know anything but yes or no but he gave him a yes on several things that you and I would agree on very good you know I I like that the common sense stuff is not being argued just common sense but the January 6 stuff is really deeply into in the political model that's not exactly a common sense thing and if you treat it like it's common sense I think that's where you go wrong so I'm going to give you the reframe that I think works best worded the way I think it works best in case you want to use it so from a framing and communication and persuasion perspective I think this is the best take that I've seen certainly the best one I've done but I think it's the best one I've seen to explain why releasing the what Jason referred to as the J Sixers who beat cops so that was one of his low grades for Trump uh Rel releasing or pardoning or commuting whatever it is the uh sentences of J Sixers who beat cops so that was the thing that triggered me to do a response so I'm just going to read it and I want you to absorb it so I started out by saying quote J Sixers who beat cops is a misleading frame to put it politely I said there are people who already serve more time than these they are people who already served more time than most people with similar offenses anything extra is political imprisonment that's the right frame but I'm just beginning so this so the start is that if they've served as much time as comparable violators of the law even violent ones even violent ones if they served as much time in general but their sentence would have gone much longer that much longer part is the political imprisonment part and it's the only part that Trump forgave he forgave the political part of the the sentence not the part they've already served because they did indeed hurt people uh who in law enforcement now I'd like to also give you some extra context I agree with most of the country that if you do some violence to a police officer uh or a first responder of any kind that should be a longer sentence is everybody on board with that if if the only thing you knew there were no extremist you no other circumstances if you heard a police officer or a fireman or anybody in the first responder world that hurts Society that's not just the person who got hurt so once you throw in my God you know are you making it impossible to have police if you're going to be hurting police and we're not going to punish you properly no that's a hard hard line if you heard somebody in that field of work you're hurting me because I'm paying that person and I don't want to pay them to be on disability I mean it's not about money it's about what's right it's about what works it's about common sense so yes a longer sentence all things being equal for that kind of thing makes sense but the next part is are all things equal is this just an ordinary we've got evidence you heard somebody it's a police officer or you know somebody acting in that capacity no here's the extra context that I think makes it make sense for Trump um I said that blame for the violence is not limited to the offenders and here I'm going to give the offenders onethird of the blame um I said it is one-third because our election systems by Design and that's important by Design signaled to half the country that an election was St stolen I agree they might be wrong so I'm not aware of proof that the election was stolen I'm not aware of proof um but the election design flaw the lack of transparency combined with an odd come from behind everywhere that mattered that we watched in real time and the violation of past bellweather patterns meaning that in the past if you lost in these particular areas you definitely lost the whole country but if you won in these very what it's called a bellweather kind of area it would be almost impossible to win all the Bell weathers or say nine and a 10 and then lose the election Trump did he won most of the Bell weathers and somehow lost an election but not until the last minute count now again I have no proof no proof that the election was stolen but I don't think anybody reasonable would argue that it was signaling it was stolen I I think all of you will agree would you agree that it signaled it was stolen even if it wasn't now whoever built a designed a system that you could very much predict in advance would eventually signal that it had been stolen and we wouldn't be able to know for sure because it's designed with not enough transparency that you can't even nobody can really know who won if you design something that guarantees you're going to have this exact problem where where people are going to get worked up to the point of violence if your system design guarantees it predictably you take a little bit of the responsibility not all of it not all of it because you some of the blame a lot of it is on the person who actually swung the bat you know used the bear spray and all these terrible things but they're not alone in the responsibility if you built a system that guarantees it happens so um so you got that and I said if the protesters were right about the election being stolen and here's my opinion and I bet that they were given that every other American institution has been confirmed to be crooked that means the protesters acted in watch the careful wording in the American tradition here's what I started to say and backed off I started to say you know that's how the American Revolution started somebody saw something that looked unfair and they acted it's how Americans do everything we look for trouble if we think we see it we act if the trouble is really really big there's no limit to how we act right that's an American tradition you could talk about violence and nobody's going to say I like violence I don't like violence but if you put Americans in a specific situation where they think they're recognizing great evil and great risk it is an American tradition that they act and the protesters were in that position where they they thought they saw something obviously that looked like a rigged election and they acted in American tradition that doesn't make it legal remember the Revolutionary War wasn't legal it wasn't legal and people got hurt and now we celebrate it why do we celebrate it because when things were bad Americans rose up and they acted and they didn't put a restriction on what those actions would be because the risk was big enough that they decided that that that risk was worth it so if Americans act like Americans in the American tradition maybe they have to serve some jail time depending on what they've done under that context maybe but the context really really really matters and the pieces of in the media have been telling us forever that we could know and that Trump knew and everybody knew Trump knew that the election was fair let's get to that um the other one-third blame for the violence is with Pelosi and Millie and whoever else turned down the right amount of security in other words it was an inviting trap intentional or otherwise if protesters saw no hope of getting into the capital would they have acted violently to try to make it happen if the protesters had pulled up and you know a bunch of military people with military weapons lots of them like lots of them which is what Trump ordered he ordered lots of them he just didn't get it do you think that the protesters would said huh looks like I got to fight my way through five layers of armed and trained Killers uh who are heavily armed and uh maybe not maybe not so if you're in charge of security and you don't put enough Security in and you knew you didn't and you were asked to do it and you didn't do it anyway you're onethird of you're one-third responsible for violence because security is supposed to prevent violence so that the bad guys come up and say oh it wouldn't make any sense to do any violence in this situation that'd be crazy and we're not going to get into the building but if you think that punching a cop might you know somehow increase the success of your protest I don't recommend it by the way don't punch any cops but if you think it might work as bad as that is if it worked you're going to try it if you think it's not going to work you don't try it that's why security matters so I'm going to say one-third it's on the protesters who Hur cops don't like that very bad onethird on the security and one-third on the design of the election system which is designed so you can't know who won nobody can know on any federal election it's not knowable you can only know what they told you that's it that's all we know and you can know if you found proof but you don't know if there's any proof he didn't find and that's where the that's where the idiots try to convince you you can tell if somebody's been hypnotized let's say brainwashed versus they've thought it through if somebody says Scott you have to say the election is fair well no I don't no everybody knows it was fair that's not somebody who's thinking about anything because if they were thinking about it they would know that all of our institutions are corrupt right science has been lying to us on a lot of things health care we went through the pandemic need I say more uh Finance of course has been rigged at the top forever government completely corrupt in so many ways FBI Department of Justice law fairing we don't have any institutions that aren't corrupt and we completely know it are you telling me that in the context of everything being corrupt we've got this non-transparent potentially easily rigal system and it's the only thing that wasn't rigged oh how lucky the the only thing that matters the most is the only thing that was pure maybe but that would be the biggest surprise in the world if you've lived in the real world do you think that the most important system and the one that you could rig if you wanted to and you let's say you were the CIA you think that's the one thing that's not rigged the one thing that's not a real opinion if you think that that's that's like just something to laugh at oh oh you think that's the one thing that even if we can't tell they didn't rig it the United States is a an election rigging monster we've done it what 80 coups in other countries which by the way might be good for America I'm not sure that the coups are a bad idea but the the point is we have all these very specific methods for rigging elections in other countries obviously you think none of that got turned inward what because it would be wrong to do it we just watched the the same group of people massively organized this you know censorship campaign by using us every trick that they use against other countries they're trying to overthrow so we don't have to wonder if the very same cats are doing things that they would do usually ideally only to other countries that were trying to somehow control you think they wouldn't use it internally when we just watch them use the other tools internally of course they would I I don't have any proof it happened but if you think that that's somehow unlikely you couldn't be Dumber I mean you couldn't be dumber than thinking it's unlikely did it happen I don't know I don't have any proof anyway um so then I said this is where the NPC's claim everyone including Trump quote knew it was a fair election because and by the way this is a writing trick if you know when you're writing something there's going to be a specific disagreement you you want to slay the specific disagreement before it even comes out of their mouth so that's what I'm doing here so I'm calling them NPCs and saying if you think you knew it uh uh it was if you think you knew it was a fair election uh no that is stupid so I saved my fword for the point I want them to remember uh there is no way for any citizen to know who won any federal election unless unless the winner is outside the inner circle like Trump and he's still wins all the swing States I'm not too worried that Trump's current election was stolen by Trump because the person who has the least access to you know the gears of government at at that time uh won overwhelmingly so that's not something that the bad guys would have done and I don't think it's something that the Republicans could have pulled off uh on their own so that looks real but not because I can tell the elections are well done only because if this person won it means that they didn't have the means to stop them because you know they wanted to all right so a few more things um there's a excia agent uh what's his name dily mailo is reporting about this you've seen him in reals probably he's in the he's on social media a lot this week John uh kako so he worked for the CIA for 14 years as an officer and he said that the Agency quote actively seeks to hire people who have sociopathic tendencies but avoids them if they have a full-blown Disorder so apparently the the ideal CIA uh agent or officer is somebody who's a little bit sociopath uh and that they're the ones who rise to the highest levels now that makes complete sense you know when you hear about Pompeo uh trying to organize a hit on Assange how many of you could organize somebody's murder like even if you know I could organize Bin Laden's murder okay that's easy I could organize the murder of I don't know uh a cartel Hitman I mean I can do that easily I mean it wouldn't bother me my conscience but it seems like the CIA would be in the business of sometimes getting rid of somebody who was a law-abiding person but they're just in the way they're stopping some larger National ambition now I don't think it's legal to kill somebody like that but I also think you know there's some flexibility if you know what I mean so I do think you probably have to be a bit of a sociopath and that that would allow you to rise to the top but it might be the only thing that allows you to do the job imagine if you were the head of the CIA and you were super woke and somebody comes H you know I think we're going to have to kill this leader of this African country and you'd be like whoa whoa whoa you're going to kill a black guy well no it's not about being a black guy he's he's the leader of this African country has really big problems you know we we think we want to take him out you're going to kill a black guy no I'm not going to allow that have you killed an equal number of white guys well we're not really keeping track that way we're we're just trying to remove people who are threat to our national interest okay but you can't kill the black guy first right so you need a sociopath who just says what's the reason we need to kill him all right approved uh someone according to futurism publication um someone invented a fake therapist uh and got a quoted in tons of Articles including Newsweek so I guess there's some chat place where therapists and people talk and one of them was just a fake one by somebody in the some kind of sex product business they invented a fake one and the fake one did so well that it was widely quoted in National media now I don't think the person who invented the fake one necessarily had any therapist skills it was just somebody else pretending to be a therapist but but just think about the fact that you can simply pretend to be a professional and the News will say well sounds good to us sounds good meanwhile according to new Atlas publication uh a affordable housing project was 3D printed in just 12 days so uh if you like walls that are hard to change after they're done this 3D printing might be just the thing um they have to finish it with humans using for the electrical and the plumbing and stuff and that's that takes the longest time but it was just a three unit terrorist multistory thing in eastern Ireland now I don't think this technology is quite there but you could see it's going to be um I would rather the 3D printer made uh legol like blocks that I could just snap together which Exist by the way there there are concrete blocks that snap together like Legos now and so that if I needed to change an interior wall or even an exterior wall um I would know exactly how to do it because it's made of parts and I can just move them as long as I've got a you know the wall that keeps the ceiling up what do you call that the uh the load bearing wall as long long as you don't affect the load bearing part of it you should be able to play around with your interior space so I think that's where a 3D printer is getting it WR because as a homeowner I've made lots of changes to my home after I moved in and it would bug the heck out of me if if there was no if there were no practical way to move a wall but maybe other people would be happy with it there's a new drug in testing according to the American Chemical Society now you should know that if a drug works in the lab uh there's very small chance it's going to work with a human if they do some testing on a mouse and it works good on a mouse there's still very little chance it's going to work on a human however there are cases where the mouse Can U can have a transplant where an American organ is basically attached to the mouse and then they can see if the human organ uh dies or what what happens with with the treatment so if you can get all the way to making uh a human tumor die in a mouse then you get very excited now usually when I see stuff like this you hear uh the new drug makes your chemo 30% more effective to which I say h but you're still on chemo which is got a lot of side effects it's only 30% I'm not even sure that's even real I mean that could just be data noise I don't know so usually there just hundreds of these we've cured cancer things but they don't work out in people this one looks a little different um so they actually it actually shrunk tumors in the mouse models and these were human breast cancer tumors that they put in the mouse and uh the expert said it is very rare for a compound to shrink tumors in the mouse models of breast cancer let alone completely eradicate those tumors with a single dose completely eradicated the human tumors in the mouse with one dose no side effects now you have my attention and now you've got my attention now the odds of it working in humans again I wouldn't get too excited because it's a there's a low there's a very low transfer rate from animal models to humans but if you see something completely remove a tumor with one dose and it was designed to do it it wasn't that they were just looking around for stuff you know they had a good idea that the mechanism would work that's why they tested it that's pretty exciting now here's the good news and the bad news if you have or get cancer in 2025 you have a race against the clock now like has never existed before because when I was a kid these same stories were every day when I was you know 18 years old and not many of these came to fruition so every day there's some claim of this doesn't work out but what's different is AI if you overlay AI on top of this world um the experts in AI are saying you can end up curing basically all the cancer anwers because you could look at the DNA of the person you could check the specifics of the tumor and then the AI will tell you exactly the kind of you know shot to give you that makes those tumors go away now of course there's some medical people who say oh don't let the tech Brothers talk about science they're not scientists or they're not Medi.

Cal people and I get that but I do think that pattern recognition is going to be the big winning play and that's what AI does well so it could be there's no way to know we could be five years away from cancer just being an annoyance so if you've got cancer today you've got a tough choice because you can either do nothing and hope for the you know single compound that cures your thing but it's going to take a few years to be available or you can immediately get on the chemo and you know the the brutal stuff that has side effects right away and when this compound becomes available if it if it does it's not guaranteed then you would still always have what the side effects gave you even if they cured your cancer because the the you know the the treatment can give you some pretty bad permanent damage so the decision about what to do if you've got cancer is completely new territory um I think people are going to make some hard choices and uh you're going to see some some people just just not get treated and they're just going to say you know what I'm going to play I'm going to play a long game uh I'm just going to roll the dice so you're going to see people's uh approach to it change as the technology is changing and that ladies and gentlemen is what I had for today I knew this a little bit long thank you for staying everybody who stayed hope it was interesting and uh welcome to the Golden Age everything's looking good um I'm going to talk to the locals people privately now but thanks everybody for joining and come back tomorrow please and we'll enjoy the Golden Age a little bit more hope today was fun I enjoyed it a lot all right locals coming at you in 30 seconds e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

well let's check the stocks and see how

the stock market's doing well

everybody's coming in oh pretty good all

right looks like uh mildly up in the

things that I care

about mildly rumbles up

wow well let's get my comments going and

then we'll have the show that you've

been waiting

for wow it's going to be

good you'll love it just you

wait all right locals let's see your

comments there you

go we're all set for

[Music]

Action good morning everybody and

welcome to the highlight of human

civilization it's called coffee with

Scott Adams and you've never had a

better time wait wait I'm getting some

breaking news there is a new study

um it turns out I'm not making this up

but there's a study in the American

Journal of EP epidemiology

epidemiology they found that caffeine

consumption was associated with higher

levels of testosterone and better

erections well

seppers I salute

you but if you'd like to join in all I

all you need is a coverer m glass tanker

Chelsea sign a canteen sugar flask a

vessel of any kind even a blood vessel

if you know what I mean fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee and

join me now for the unparallel pleasure

of the dopamine head of the day

salute is that what salute means

probably not probably not it's a new

meaning all right well you've probably

heard the rumors by now but people

they're just

rumors

that uh Barack Obama is about to have a

uh mic drop

moment a mic

drop that's right if you're sitting at

home I'll give you a moment yeah the

rumor is there's going to be a mic drop

a

moment that's all I have to say on that

anyway according to rasmason the Trump

job performance is amazing so the latest

is that as a third Thursday 56% of

likely us voters approved of Trump's job

performance for the first

week and uh guess what the overnight is

the

overnight is Trump at 59%

approval does that even seem possible

now rason um gets a lot of uh got gets a

lot of criticism from the Democrats and

part of the reason they get criticized

is they're one of the most accurate

pollsters and they generally have a

better view of you know better results

on Trump than let's say the average of

the other

pollsters uh but they're also closer so

they're they're consistently more right

about Trump related stuff so this is

incredible 59% approval and and I feel

like I feel like the criticism has just

turned into

nothing you know we'll talk about all

the stuff Trump's doing but I'm just not

seeing push

back anywhere I mean there's you know

blah blah blah but not really it's like

the whole country just said we don't

have to pretend

anymore let just let Dad do what Dad

does and we just don't need to pretend

that we disagree with everything all the

time

automatically unbelievably good but uh

so now you know how Trump's job

performance is doing I would say that

Trump and the Republicans are having in

my lifetime maybe the best week they've

ever had would that be fair to say would

it be fair to say that in my entire

lifetime there's never been a better

week for Republicans I think that's true

I I can't think of any time that they

got more done um controlled the

narrative changed everything that needed

to be changed you know did 2011 by now

it's X more I mean I've never seen

anything like this so we know we know

that Trump's doing well and the Trump

effect is in force but let's not forget

there's another major political party

and you know they could be doing good

things too but maybe getting

overshadowed because of the news

coverage so I wanted to check in just to

make sure Democrats are also getting

some stuff done and yes turns out

Democrats have they're making some

inroads uh specifically there's a

Mississippi Democrat I think it is a

first year on the job and he's

introducing some uh legislation in

Mississippi uh to make it illegal for

men to

masturbate uh because he thinks

masturbation should be limited to

reproduction so but he thinks it

according to the uh legislation it it

would be okay if you wore a condom when

you masturbate

I don't think I'm making that up that's

the way I read

it I I think this is real I'm not making

any of this up that's right president

Trump is Reviving The

Economy establishing America as the

great superpower putting 10,000 people

on the border to close it for good but

not to be

outdone a Democrat in Mississippi is

trying to make it illegal to

masturbate um it would be the first

penalty would be

$1,000 I just want to know how they get

the

information are you supposed to

self-report is it like the gift tax they

just expect you to tell

[Laughter]

them so it's $1,000 for the first

offense

the second one would be

$5,000 and if you if you whack off three

times the third one would be

$110,000 and all I'm thinking is if if I

live if I lived in

Mississippi I'd be sitting there

thinking all right it's $10,000

maybe just

[Laughter]

twice

anyway that's real uh this is also real

according to uh broni writing in Red

State uh that Gren John Pierre the

recent spokesperson for Biden uh she's

uh she's being profiled in Vanity Fair

now you say to yourself okay I mean

Vanity Fair does sort of high-profile

attractive looking people uh she's an

attractive person she's high-profile so

that makes sense and then I read on uh

she wrote the profile

herself okay that's

funny did she write a glowing profile of

herself for Vanity Fair it's actually

called Vanity Fair if it weren't called

vanity it wouldn't be so fun that she

wrote it herself you know what I mean

but it gets

funnier can anybody guess what she's

blaming for her lack of

success if you guessed

racism if you guess racism is what she's

blaming for a lack of a screaming

success you'd be right she says it's

racism yep

yep imagine being alive

and not being aware that for the past 40

years 40

years the best thing you could be is

anything but a white man in terms of

employment for 40 years it's been true

absolutely hard true for 40 years that

the worst thing you could possibly be as

a white man in any kind of American job

the best thing what's the best thing you

could be for the past 40 years black

female lesbian it's number one in the

entire stacking of the Ridiculousness

that the Democrats brought us for the

last 40 years it's number one on

the best thing you could possibly be for

your career there's nothing higher than

that but imagine being so stupid

you don't even know that you don't even

know that everything was stacked in your

direction that's amazing

40 years it's been true and it hasn't

been just a little bit true it's been

the most true obvious documented ask any

single person who's been alive and been

in a corporate world for 40 years it's

the truest true thing that there that

has ever been true and she doesn't know

it what kind of a weird imaginary world

is that like so

weird The Wall Street Journal has an

article

I now I can't believe this is really

being

discussed right just hold in your mind

all the conversations we've had on this

topic and then be amazed that it's a

headline story

today today it's still a story all right

the Wall Street Journal is reporting

that I guess there's some maybe some

changes that might be coming to the

dietary guidelines in the United States

from the government and there's a big uh

debate whether drinking a little bit of

alcohol is good for you it's

2025 by now we're completely aware that

unless the unless the study is actually

paid for by the alcohol business they

all say it's bad for you it's the most

well understood thing in science of

course every drink is bad for you but

because the alcohol industry still has

some you know sketchy studies out there

they're like well look at my study I

know you've got 10 studies but look at

my four studies and so they're still

arguing whether a little bit of alcohol

is actually good for your health yeah a

little bit of poison it's just what you

need a little bit of

poison

well here's what they could have done to

save some

time they could have asked

Scott and uh here's how that

conversation would have

gone uh the experts would say Scott is

alcohol bad for people even in low doses

we can't tell because the data is mixed

and then here's what I would

say maybe you should check who funds the

studies saying poison is good for

you then the experts would say you are a

genius thank you for saving us so much

money and

time I'm pretty sure that's how it would

go so next time guys ladies next time

you have a question about whether

alcohol is good for you big timesaver as

Scott over in uh the UK uh the UK being

stupid again when was the last story

about when was the last time you heard a

story about the UK that wasn't about

them being

stupid I don't even remember one it's

either they're lying or stupid or

weasels like every story about the UK is

that a coincidence or if they turn into

lying stupid

weasel I mean you know my instinct is is

just uh that's the news that is catching

my attention they must be doing

something right right is there anything

that the UK is doing right but here's a

story just a small one that the uh

BMW um the UK I guess what would you

call it the

UK BMW group um the BMW has decided

decided to announce it that is no longer

going to post on X number one why would

you announce it what would be the point

of announcing that well the only thing I

can think of is that they're they're

announcing it because they're protesting

something that Elon must

did can you think of any other

reason I can so BMW is uh protesting act

uh they're doing it at exactly the same

time that I was trying to figure out

what my next car will be which has taken

me a few years to figure out because I'm

right on the fence between going

electric which seems like obviously the

future and stay in gas as long as I can

because it's you know gas stations are

more plentiful so I was kind of on the

offence but I was thinking you know

another BMW that's what I've been

driving for years maybe you maybe one

more and then I see this uh we're not

the UK so it's not the UK BMW but I'm

not cool with that I'm not cool with you

being such but holes so you have to

announce you're doing it I wouldn't even

care if they simply didn't do it if they

simply didn't do it I'd be like I I

don't even know I don't care you know

not everybody has to do everything it

doesn't matter if somebody's not doing

something but announcing it announcing

it that's just being dicks I'm not going

to drive the automobile of dicks so I'm

probably going to get a Tesla because BM

W UK or just being

dicks like the the cool thing about BMW

is I like the brand the cars are very

good but I like the I like the brand

like I just how you know it felt right

sometimes your personality or something

matches a

brand but I don't want to be driving a

dick car so probably that'll push me

into the Tesla y just my guess we'll see

that's not a final decision AOC was on

John Stewart's

podcast and they had great agreement and

a good laugh over the question of

Democrats being

Hypocrites by being in favor of insider

trading now both Stuart and AOC say

directly it is insider trading which is

legal it's specifically legal if you're

in

Congress now I actually understand why

they have that rule I don't know has

anybody explained to

you why they have the the rule that they

can do insider

trading I don't you know I'm sure it's

just self-interest but the

rationalization would

be that you would be essentially

prohibiting them from just normal

investing because sooner or later

something they normally invest in is

going to look like they had Insider

information next thing you know they're

going to get arrested for just making

ordinary Investments like every other

American so I'm actually quite

sympathetic

to allowing them to do it um but I think

we should have more transparency I think

this is one where instead of banning it

let's just know exactly who's doing what

the the midpoint the only midpoint I can

imagine is if they and this might not be

practical uh if the Congress had to its

members um don't invest in these these

topics because they're part of upcoming

discussions so get there before the

discussion and say we're going to put a

moratorium just on let's say these six

companies just for a few months because

that's when we're going to have more

information than the public I don't know

if there was a practical way to make

that happen that'd be good or

alternately just tell the public which

things the Congress is talking about and

then show us what people are investing

in full transparency and then when that

person runs for election their opponent

says well you know here here's the

Watchdog list here's what they were

talking about here's what he invested

in that could matter I could see voters

saying yeah that actually does matter to

me

um but AOC and Stewart both agree that

uh what it does when Democrats are in

favor of keeping it which they are that

it makes them easy targets for

Republicans to say you Hypocrites look

what you're doing and interest

ly um it's just interesting they're

calling out their own side for this huge

error now I remember before Trump was

president if AOC and John Stewart were

on a podcast the one and only thing you

would expect from that is dunking on

Republicans and instead they dunked on

Democrats hard they dunked hard on

Democrats this is the Trump effect is it

not th this is Democrats trying to

figure out how to do something different

from everything they've done and AOC

whatever you want to say about AOC you

know I fully accept all the criticisms

as you know often valid but remember I

tell you that she is a unique character

and that she can break frame sometimes

they can't the rest of them can't do it

fedman can do it fedman can break frame

uh Eric

he can break frame AOC can break frame

now that's not always you know good it

doesn't mean they're great doesn't mean

you should vote for any of them because

of that but it's rare and when everybody

whenever anybody can break

frame I I always pay attention so I'm

going to pay attention to this one

meanwhile CBS even news fired uh fired

Nora O'Donnell who has not been

historically very favorable to president

Trump is this the Trump effect

yes yes it is Trump destroyed the

reputation and therefore the entire

business model of traditional news and

they are in

freefall and trying to figure out how to

make it work but I'm going to put the uh

I'm going to put my MBA hat on for a

minute and uh instead of looking this as

a political thing I'm going to look at

it which it might be it might be that

the network is trying to be a little

little less anti Trump because they need

to have access to the administration to

make stories and stuff so it could be

just normal politics overlapping

business but there's a bigger business

question I think that the days of hiring

a gazillion dollar host to just read the

news is not a business model that can

ever work again because they're

competing against podcasters who were

just killing it here's what I'm going to

I'm going to make a prediction about the

traditional news business I think

they're going to morph into a

syndication company and what I mean is

that instead of being the people who

essentially own the talent I think

they're going to become a platform for

distribution and promotion but that

they'll work with essentially podcasters

who are in charge of their own

content so it's not it's not for

podcasters like me because I'm almost

entirely opinion-based but there are

there are podcasters um

who have real news experience you know

I'll just pick one randomly but not not

to I'm not anticipating that this one

goes into that model but just for

example so somebody like Megan Kelly has

a huge audience and also has a lot of

experience in the traditional news

business if somebody like CBS said hey

we got a new model we're just going to

distribute people you know um and you

just have to do all the content content

that seems like that would be a good

model because that's how cartoons work

by the way um the way the cartooning

industry Works

mostly is that the cartoonists don't

work for the newspaper some of the

political ones do but the the ones that

are three strip you know four four panel

kinds of things they don't work for the

newspaper they're part of a syndication

group where there's a business that does

all the distribution and the promotion

and then the content people draw the

comics and then they just share the

money so I think TV news is going to

turn into a syndication model because

nothing else will work they're not going

to pay $10 million for a

celebrity why it would make more sense

to pay zero dollar and say We'll

distribute you if you can get a big

audience we both make money so it's just

positive from the first

day that's what I think Ross alri as you

know uh the creator of the Silk Road who

was in jail for two life sentences plus

40 years has been uh was he pardoned or

commuted I forget which which word it is

but he's a free man now and he did a

little

video uh directed that President

Trump now this was really

interesting because clearly if you had

your life saved by President Trump as he

did Trump just saved his life for all

practical purposes and you can't leave

that alone you're going to have to

acknowledge that that was a great thing

for you and he does but you don't you

also don't want to be killed in 2025 by

all the wokies who can't stand the fact

that you thanked Trump so he picked his

words so carefully that it reminds you

how smart he

is and and how smart he is is really

sort of the be story on

this I don't think you all completely

understand that he's not ordinary smart

Ross he's he's extra all right he's one

of the special ones and so when he picks

his words carefully I like I like to pay

attention to the exact words here's what

he said he said I'm a free man now so

let it be known that Donald Trump is a

man of his word thank you so much

president Trump for giving me this

amazing

blessing now look at his words I'm a

free man now

it be known that Trump is a man of his

word isn't that a great compliment it

really is if you're Trump this is like

the best compliment you could ever get

that you're a man of your word like

that's that is so just right but also

it's non-controversial at least in terms

of the specific thing because if Trump

said he would do it and then he did it

calling him out as a man of his word

at least on this particular item is

exactly right so he didn't go too far

and put himself at risk with the the

left part of the country but yet he

delivered a compliment which I say one

of the best ones I've ever heard and and

there's no there's no arguing that if he

said he'd do it and then he did it yeah

man of his word that's worth

something Isis uh gotta I don't want to

say rounded up if you've watched any of

the uh coverage Tom homman always

corrects everybody who says that they're

rounding up people he like no very

targeted enforcement of specific people

we're not rounding

up and that's a good

correction so they got

538 criminal uh aliens let to use the

new modern word and

uh in some cases they got some people

who were in the same room exactly like

you said they would every everybody's

been warned they know if you're in the

same room as the the person they're

looking

for you're in trouble so warning is all

you can do I mean you got to do your job

and I guess they're doing it and they're

doing it hard so they got they got

criminal gang members they got people

with all kinds of bad crimes sex

offenders uh that's 538 people who

aren't going to be offending again if if

they really go away and stay away Trump

signed uh some gu kind of executive

order or he said he would he would

approve power plants that are associated

with AI data centers so if you didn't

know AI requires so much processing you

have to build a whole Data Center and

and enormous ones bigger than we've had

historically in order just to get to the

next level of AI but they use so much

power that you would drain the grid I

think we need about twice as much energy

as we

anticipate as we anticipate having under

Baseline so we got to really ramp it up

and Trump's take on this is you know

you're going to do you can do anything

you can use natural gas you you know

that would be ideal except he's better

than coal but he's not going to limit

what they can do they can build they can

build a nuclear power plant

gas

geothermal what whatever it takes

now that feels to me like trying to win

other words you know keeping America

strong and powerful and having the right

energy profile is everything you need to

win I mean it's the thing that feeds the

military the economy everything so

having Trump say I'm taking the controls

at least the the useless controls I'm

taking the useless controls off of the

energy program in the United States and

then tying it to the AI stuff gives them

a whole bunch of fans in the AI World

which is basically everybody who's

paying

attention and makes us

competitive now what's it do to the

environment not ideal not

ideal but I I think it was chth from the

all in the Allin pod was saying that

even if you wanted to build your own

solar plant because you want to be green

if you want to build your own giant

solar facility to accompany your AI data

center you wouldn't be able to do it

because the approval would take so long

that it just wouldn't be a practical

project so Trump this is a weird thing

Trump by removing the ridiculous

obstacles could make solar

power finally reach its potential

because it's the it's the

environmentalists who tell you you have

to do solar and see environmentalists

who tell you you can't that's what jth

is kind of explaining

you should see jth on the Tucker Carlson

podcast I haven't finished it yet but

like I said it's it's the most eye

openening

jaw-dropping incredible set of you know

useful points that you should understand

uh it's it's really special you know so

you got to watch

that um so that's a big big deal if you

if you're looking for some

optimism this story about allowing any

kind of power plant you know not stupid

but you know just normal power plants to

be associated with AI and letting the

tech letting the tech Giants sort of

take control of how that um

functions honestly I can't think of

anything that would be better for

America right now I mean it's just about

I mean that's just so good so

good um and it doesn't even look like

the government you expect I I kind of

expect my government to be just stopping

me from doing stuff and when you see

somebody who's in the government Trump

making it easier to do stuff important

stuff like critically important

existential

stuff you can't get more optimistic than

this this this is special it really is

speaking of that Trump's going to visit

the LA fire Zone

today so a few sub stories to that

number one

um did did Biden ever I I think he was

already kind of done by the by the time

of the fire but uh Trump's going to be

there and uh Nome said he's going to be

greeting him at the

tarmac which suggests that Nome is not

invited to tour the actual fire

areas so it sounds like uh

Nome wanted to insert himself but the

only place he could be sure it would be

acceptable is greeting him at the

airport uh now there could be a second

reason for this you know that there's

still some fires burning you know

there's always some smoldering Embers

and stuff so it could be that nome's

hair gel presents too much of risk you

know you don't want to put that much of

a oh never mind it's not about his hair

hair gel but uh so nome's in an awkward

situation uh

people expect him to be the leader of

the opposition to Trump at the same time

he has to beg him for

money so I wonder if he can separate

those two things or if he feels like

he'll just you know try to do both at

the same time ah Mr Trump uh Mr

President thank you so much for coming

here we we really need a lot of help uh

$2.5 billion and by the way you're a

fascist

what what

yeah we said I said we we're going to

need a lot of help from the federal

government really appreciate that you

came here it means a lot to us we need

at least 10 billion and you're Hitler

wait what what like how's that

conversation go

exactly I don't know

awkward um the good news

is

um that uh I know he's going to be

talking to the right people and I won't

say more about that but I'll just say

that one of the things that Trump does

so well that I and I've never seen

anything like it is that he has feelers

among his base and on the ground like

I've never seen like if somebody has a

better idea about anything it actually

gets to

him like it doesn't matter who it is

anybody who has a good idea it's just a

good idea and you you you can bu it up

through people who have bigger accounts

and they say oh that is a good idea and

then sooner or later there's somebody on

his staff who sees it and he actually

hears about stuff like I've seen that

play out a number of times and I think

that's playing out again with his visit

to La so we'll see how it goes I'll be

vague for now but in terms of knowing

that he's going to connect with the

right people when he's there

done done and that probably bubbled up

from the right people and that's how you

want your country to work uh meanwhile

Trump signed an executive order on

crypto trying to make America the

capital of crypto you know David saaks

is in the administration so he's behind

that but he also is going to ban Central

Bank digital

currencies and he's going to evaluate

the creation of a national digit asset

stockpile so all that sounds Forward

Thinking and good um I'm only

comfortable with it because sax is you

know the main guy there this is a the

crypto stuff is things I don't have a

deep understanding of most people don't

so I wouldn't be comfortable with

something like this if I heard that it

came

from I don't know Don Jr because he

likes crypto I'm not making fun of Don

Jr I think he's great but the source

matters right if if Trump just read an

article and decided to do an EO on it

well that would be trouble if it came

from somebody who didn't really

understand the space that would be

trouble but it's coming from

Sachs like I feel comfortable like okay

if Sachs thinks this is a good idea and

of course everything is risk reward you

nobody can predict 100% what what

happens with anything but if it's the

right risk reward I'm completely

comfortable that sax has that under

control

and that's what that's what a podcast

does for you if you watch somebody on a

popular podcast over a long period of

time and you see them talking on all

kinds of different topics especially

this one you get a real feel for whether

somebody's playing a game just trying to

make some money just throw trying to

throw some grenades and uh sax is just

common sense times extraordinary

understanding of things times energy

times patriotism

right guy in the right place perfectly

nicely done Mr

Trump uh Trump is also talking about

saving Tik Tock with a sovereign wealth

fund now my understanding of a sovereign

wealth fund would be when a country uses

its own money to effectively make

investments why did America not have

this already it it's a pretty common

thing

it's a pretty common thing for other

countries Saudi has one you know I think

a lot of countries have one why wouldn't

we have one one of the things that Trump

apparently

um one of the things that Trump

apparently is bringing to the process

here is the understanding that America

if it

acted um if it acted in some ways just

some ways like a private

company it could unlock invest M

potential like nobody's ever seen I'm

borrowing a a trumpism like nobody's

ever seen before and what I mean by that

is because the US government can make

something

work that corporations maybe wouldn't

have the power to make it work in other

words the the US can declare something

legal it can also declare something

illegal it can protect

something that a private company

couldn't

protect so if you add the the milit AR

Power and the lawmaking power and the

regulation creating and removing power

to a financial model it can do better

than all other Financial models and the

example is Tik

Tock Tik Tock would be the perfect

introduction to a sovereign wealth fund

so if you can imagine let's say The

Sovereign wealth fund just owns you know

Trump says 50% and then you get a bunch

of American and I don't even know if

they have to to be American they could

be Canadian or any friendly country um

there're the other

investors but the important investor

would be America because America would

say now it's legal so it turns an asset

that's worth

nothing into a trillion dollar asset and

Trump says that directly it's worth

nothing if we say no to it and I'm

saying no to it it's worth a trillion

dollars if we change it so it's

appropriate in the United States and I

say to it so why don't I get half of

that now let me say it again it's worth

nothing now but I can make it worth a

trillion dollars just simply by making

it okay again to

operate and if I can create a trillion

dollars of value out of nothing why

don't why doesn't the United States get

some of that and the answer is

um uh I don't

know the answer is it's a good

idea what's the push

back we'd get Tik

Tock so the users would be

happy at at the moment the way it's

organized it's it's an unacceptable risk

Trump can make that risk go way down by

making an American product with an

American

algorithm it's all win it's what it

makes you think why weren't we doing

this before now Tik Tok happens to be

the perfect example because it's one

where the the government literally and

the president alone can decide whether

well not alone Congress should be

helpful but

uh but he can make it worth a trillion

dollars take

Greenland would you invest um in a

mineral mining operation in

Greenland if you knew it wasn't

protected and China or Russia could come

in and start strong arming you and

getting you in trouble

that's a risk but suppose suppose Trump

says to Greenland here's the deal I will

remove all risk of

invasion what's that worth to you uh

unlimited

everything well what would it cost if I

were to just buy Greenland oh you

couldn't afford it Mr President that'd

be that'd be almost a trillion dollars

okay so a trillion dollars if I buy it

but what if I don't buy it and also

don't protect it what's that worth to

you and the next thing you know Trump

makes a a mining operation in Greenland

which wouldn't be economical because

it's such a big investment and you don't

know if it's going to get if you could

to get elbowed out by a foreign

country and Trump will just make that

risk away oh no they're not going to

touch you if you put a mining operation

in Greenland and the US the US puts it

there and let's say they share some of

the revenue with the locals more than

they've ever had quadruple the the

lifestyle of the locals and also protect

them from any kind of foreign Invasion

and and if maybe if Denmark wants to

have some Commonwealth kind of

connection let him have it for

historical reasons but not any real

control I think this deal can get done I

really think he can get this done we'll

see

but it's it's brilliant thinking and no

matter what you think uh Trump also

signed a executive order to start the

process which could take a long time to

uh unleash the Declassified documents on

Kennedy and Kennedy two kennedies and

Martin Luther King and Trump says

everything will be

revealed now I'm a

little I'm a little confused about

something about this story

you're the president of the United

States and you have been the president

of the United States at least four other

years the president is allowed in theory

to see 100% of all secrets I'm not wrong

about that am I the president is allowed

to see 100% of all secrets no exceptions

I think that's what the system is and

yet the president doesn't act like he

knows what's in those

files now it it' be one thing not to

know the

details but cash Batel says he's seen

them so cash has looked at him and he's

not giving us a hint what's in there but

says yes they should be

released do you think that Trump has not

once talked to cash Patel and said all

right I don't have time to look through

all these documents but are there any

big surprises in

there wouldn't cash Patel be able to

tell him because Trump as the ultimate

security clearance yes I look through

and uh when the public finds out that

XYZ is true uh it's going to be a big

story I don't think Trump has heard that

he because Trump's nature is that he's a

tease if he knew what was in there I

think he would have teased us and said

way do you find out what's in there

that's that would be like a perfect

trumpism but he didn't do that he

actually legitimately acts like he

doesn't know what's in the files

now I think there's nothing in

there I think that if if you're

expecting that the government files say

the government killed the president well

that's a little bit

unrealistic because it would be exactly

the same people who controlled the files

as allegedly would have killed the

president they didn't put it in a memo I

don't think there's any memos you know

it was before email it's not like

they're going to find the email or the

the history of you know online searches

or

anything I don't think it's going to be

anything I don't think I think all three

of them are going to be a yawn it's

going to be stuff we already knew and

maybe some details that make you run

down a rabbit hole but you'll end up at

the same place you started so I don't

expect anything and it's going to be a

longer process than people want you know

we're going to forget about it and then

somay there'll be a story that says well

I guess we can't show you everything and

we can't tell you

why

so Mike Pompeo blocked it when Trump was

uh first in office and I understand that

Trump just removed the security

clearance for Mike Pompeo

ouch um not related I think but never

know all right so Trump gave a um video

speech to the world economic forum

uh if you're tapped into this stuff you

know the world economic forum is let's

see they're they're big on climate

change that's one of their biggest

biggest things and they were big on

ESG which is sort of the corporate form

of

uh diversity and

Equity so that's what the E and ESG is

for is equity right so they love

Dei and they love climate change

so that that's what the wef is they're

more than that but you know those are

the big themes Trump goes on video shits

all over Dei brags about getting rid of

it says there are two genders and uh he

calls the green New Deal the green news

scam so he's canceling all that green

news scam stuff and getting out of the

Paris

Accords now if that's the only thing

that happened during his speech you

would

say who does

that who goes to this you know famous

full of billionaire CEOs and heads of

state and just tells them that their

core their core mission is harmful

and he said it he didn't use

those words but he said it as clearly as

a person can say it I mean he didn't

leave any doubt and they sat there and

they just took

it and then he said

because he knew the top Bankers were

there and one of them was on stage they

had a Bank of America Trump actually got

in his

grill in in a live

video exchange while the entire world

was watching and told B OFA you better

stop debank

conservatives and then he brought up

Jamie Diamond the other biggest Banker

in the country and Jamie

to you better stop debank

conservatives what do you think the

bankers said in their statements and

such

afterwards we've never debanked any what

are you talking about debank people

we've never debanked any conservatives

well what kind of conservatives do you

think we debanked well let me give you

an example courtesy of Mark

andreon Trump's

wife his wife wife they

debanked they debanked his wife

you

and she wasn't the only one you

know there there are plenty of other

examples General Flynn weighed in are

you kidding they de banked me they

debanked all these people then Eric

Prince weighs in are you kidding they

debanked me they debanked my family they

debanked everybody related to me and

then they debanked his exf wife

simply because she'd received some money

yeah as your normal divorce

money and then the banker said we've

never done

that and as Mark andreon points out

accurately huh it's funny that there's

so much Deb banking that's confirmed and

yet no Bank was

involved that was just a great

moment one thing I can tell you is that

unless the banks have started looking

into all of their de banking

past there's going to be hell to pay uh

I don't think they're going to get away

with we didn't do that oh the the fake

news will protect us uh uh I'm pretty

sure MSNBC will say it never happened so

we'll just say it never happened not

anymore it's a new game now you

better do it because we're watching

we're pissed and you did it I

don't know which bank

specifically anyway it's a new day so

that was

awesome um here's a gigantic event in

the world open AI has introduced a an

agent uh they call Operator that on your

commands will operate your your web

browser and anything that's signed in

basically and if it needs to do

something for an account that you

haven't signed in for it'll it'll notify

you hey I signed in for this I got to do

the next

step and it's been tested and you can

just turn it loose and tell it what to

do it'll go on your web browser it'll

it'll make appointments for you it'll

organize things it'll get things and put

them in whatever order you want

basically anything you would do it'll do

on your web

browser now now this is gigantic for

somebody like me uh if you watch the

pre-show you you've probably seen me go

through this long manual process of

publishing my cartoon every day here's

what I'll do in the very near

future hey AI published today's

Cartoon I will first tell it where to

get the comic you know which file I'll

tell it where to put it and how I

organize it but I'm only going to have

to explain it once and then it will just

publish it so I'm going to replace

essentially the entire function of the

syndication company that cancelled

me with one

agent if I wanted to be back in

newspapers I don't I don't but if I

wanted to that agent could contact the

newspapers send them samples and

negotiate a price for those few that

would want to put dber back in the paper

I'm not going to do that but it could

could do that it could actually do that

it could finalize the deal it could it

could set up the direct deposit to my

checking account now is that scary now

let's uh bang this amazing amazing

potential into the other thing that you

know about which

is there's no way the big AI companies

don't have a back door for the CIA

there's no way National Security would

be okay with AI uncontrolled

of course it's controlled uh we've heard

this also from Mark andreon that uh the

Venture capitalists were told directly

don't fund any little AI companies we're

only going to allow we the government

are only going to allow a few and we're

going to have a back door for National

Security so if you knew that the CIA had

a back door to your agent that knew all

your passwords and could execute things

on your behalf including access to your

bank account I

assume you okay with

that on one hand is so beyond so beyond

any risk that I would consider

acceptable and then I put it in context

the CIA can already do anything it wants

to me it could take all my money it can

spy on everything I can do you could

pretend I did something I didn't do if

the CIA wants to take anybody down they

didn't really need AI to do it it it

just your mind can't separate the fact

that you made it so

easy so making it easy might make it

worse but it was already pretty easy

like if somebody in power wanted to look

into you all they had to do is tell

somebody to look into you and then the

underling would do all the work so the

person who made the decision doesn't

really even have to do any work now so

whether they use an agent like a digital

agent or whether they use real agents

the people in charge were getting

instantly everything they wanted all the

time anyway you didn't really have any

privacy but speaking of this that open

AI agent Mike cernovich took a little

deeper dive and found out that it has

access to new sources so if you were to

ask it you know to check the news or

something like that it could do it uh

what news sources let's see there's the

Atlantic which is known to be a Democrat

propaganda entity really that's all it

is it it's not something that could ever

make money and they're not trying to be

anything else they are literally just a

propaganda so that's one of them but

they they have four so they have four

new sources so if the only one was the

Atlantic you'd say oh this is looking

wrong because this is just a de

Republican hating fake news source but

it's not just The Atlantics don't worry

it's also so three others including

axios

axios wouldn't that be the same news

entity that's anti-trump and funded by

open AI yes it is it's partially funded

by open AI they have a working agreement

with

axios who is not too Pro Trump but don't

worry those are only two of the four the

other ones I'm sure would

be oh the other ones are the AP

known to be one of the

most productive creators of fake news

about Trump uh but but you have uh oh

Reuters okay so these would be four of

the 10 worst things that you could pick

as your news

sources so Mike cernovich calls this

sound and uh on a and Sam mman responded

almost immediately and Alman said quote

uh that's a Miss we will fix fast so Sam

is saying that it's a

mistake that it was limited to those

four and that they'll fix that

fast uh how many of you

believe that that was a

mistake

because doesn't look like a mistake and

as Mike covich points out in response to

Sam's response to him he said are there

any examples of a quote Miss uh where

the error was on the side of trump and

conservatives because as I learned from

Google Zuck and all regime media

Corrections over the decade uh these

errors quote always cut one way a fair

system would have misses on either

side and then CNO points out that the

the tech businesses still don't hire

Trump supporters

wow

yeah and then so that that's that's

exactly the right question now um I

think Sam is probably accurate in saying

that wasn't what he

intended but I don't think that his

employees were equally open-minded in

what this should be so yeah there's a

big problem that his his organization is

staffed with uh lefties who who you know

what kind of problems that is so I mean

that's G gigantic problems

um anyway uh Chris sacka a famous Tech

investor guy um he was talking about

using AI to

code and I had tried the same thing he

did so he also only had you know minimal

programming experience from his past so

and recently he asked AI to write him

some code for an app so he said hey AI

I've got an app make me some code and

then and the the entire code for the app

just appears but then he says and I had

the same experience uh it's been a long

time since I wrote any code what do I do

with it like do I copy and paste it

somewhere I had the same question

because I was so long out of out of that

game and the AI would tell them how to

do it so the AI would say uh yes you

want to download python uh put it on

your computer um if you have a Mac you

do it this way if it's Windows you do it

that way and then the The Prompt will be

here and then you do this with the

prompt and you put it into Python and

then here's how you execute it and he

said you know my God it was already

already so good that you know you could

reduce your number of

programmers but with the new operator

agent the one I just talked about all

that part which is what literally

stopped me from making an app because I

tried to make one too I just couldn't

figure out that last part because I I

was you know too distracted and busy but

now I could just say to it hey uh AI

write me an app that does this or that

boom it's done literally that's all it

takes the app just appears uh all the

code does and then that part where I

didn't know what to do with the code I

just say can you turn that into an app

b boom it finds python it puts it where

it needs to it executes it and there's

your

app

unbelievable

unbelievable all right um here's what

axios is reporting speaking of axios um

their headline uh said Trump left

Washington four years ago touting a

revolutionary new consensus on the

threat posed by China he returned this

week seeming to downplay that threat

signaling a potential thaw on relations

between the two countries now do you see

the propaganda and brainwashing that's

embedded in that let me call it out when

do you ever see the word

tout somebody is touting something is

that ever in a positive reference do

people tout things and then the story is

to be about how great that is wow it's

great that they're touting no touting is

a subtle insult that you're saying

something that's maybe not true right

it's built into it a little skepticism

he's touting right the opinion is in the

news that you just choose your words and

the opinion comes embedded with the news

so he's

touting that there was a consensus about

the threat of China but now they're

going to turn it into hypocrisy because

that's what the news does to make it a

story it has to be an inconsistency or

an hypocrisy and the hypocrisy they

think is that Trump was such a tough

talker about China but he says good

things about she and now he's talking

about how we can work things

out you know what's missing

right what's missing is this is exactly

how Trump negotiates with foreign

leaders every time and he even he

explains it you don't have to guess he

tells you um yes I'm going to be very

tough with Russia or China or whoever

he's talking about um but I get along

with the leader and that's good for

everybody because then you can have that

talk and you can be as tough as you want

because they're not going to take it

personally because I like them

personally that is everything you want

from your president that in terms of

negotiating that is everything I want I

want to be friendly enough with the

leaders they he gets every access

conversation nothing is no just because

of Who's involved and they get their you

know they get their uh let's say

reputations benefited by that because it

is a big benefit and then they are in a

position where they've gotten something

for free because it didn't cost any

money for Trump to say yeah you know

she's great that costs nothing and then

what we get in return is a a good

healthy negotiation in which both sides

fully acknowledge and they're

transparent about what they want and

what they need to have and how things

can work so axios just tortures itself

to turn this into some kind of touting

and hypocrisy when it's the cleanest

example you'll ever see of a topend

negotiator doing topend negotiating

exactly the way you'd want it to

happen so axios is one of the four

sources for open

AI until Sam mman fixes it which he said

he's going to do

quickly um there's a bounty hunter bill

in Mississippi that would pay $1,000 to

bounty hunters for each successful

deportation of an illegal that they help

to facilitate so the Bounty Hunter

doesn't have to deport them uh just has

to facilitate it now probably not the

best

idea I'm not get into the pros and cons

but it made me think that if I were a

bounty hunter and this got passed I

would open a restaurant in Mississippi

and I just say I'm

hiring two-thirds of the people who walk

into the restaurant to be you know

dishwashers and line cooks are going to

have

questionable you know questionable

credentials you could just sit there in

an office and have one after another

come in and say m looks a little

suspicious to me you didn't pass the

even

verify uh then just turn it in make a

$1,000 for every person you interview at

least two-thirds of

them I'm not recommending that I'm just

saying I always think in terms of

business models when I read the

news um Trump plans according to zeroed

Trump plans to bring as many as 10,000

troops to the Border I think he's got

1,500 now but I like that when I heard

it was 1500 my first reaction was hm so

in other words you know barely anything

better than nothing A lot better than

nothing you know changes the tone of

everything sets a standard you know it's

all good but 1,500 didn't seem like

enough 10,000 is

serious

10,000 removes all questions if you're

wondering if he's deadly serious about

the Border yeah 10,000 troops would get

you there you don't have to wonder

anymore so we don't know if that'll

happen but

that's the plan

allegedly all right I would like to uh

indulge you in uh by reading something

that I posted on X because it got a good

response and it's what you need to

know um I was challenged several months

ago to do the best reframe I could on

the January 6 prisoners and I've been

thinking and thinking about this and

everything that I kind of came up with I

tried to number number of things to

reframe it properly um and didn't really

catch but I think I may have gotten it

this time and I was look I was reacting

to a post by Jason calacanis who may be

listening right now Jason I hope you're

listening um from the all-in Pod you

know him from the all-in Pod and he's a

big investor in the tech world but he

was giving a trump a uh a report card

for operating so far and uh on several

on several items he gave them a high

grade it was just Checker act so it

wasn't you know anything but yes or no

but he gave him a yes on several things

that you and I would agree on very good

you know I I like that the common sense

stuff is not being argued just common

sense but the January 6 stuff is really

deeply into in the political model

that's not exactly a common sense thing

and if you treat it like it's common

sense I think that's where you go

wrong so I'm going to give you the

reframe that I think works best worded

the way I think it works best in case

you want to use

it so from a framing and communication

and persuasion perspective I think this

is the best take that I've seen

certainly the best one I've done but I

think it's the best one I've seen to

explain why releasing the what Jason

referred to as the J Sixers who beat

cops so that was one of his low grades

for Trump uh Rel releasing or pardoning

or commuting whatever it is the uh

sentences of J Sixers who beat

cops so that was the thing that

triggered me to do a response so I'm

just going to read it and I want you to

absorb

it so I started out by saying quote J

Sixers who beat cops is a misleading

frame to put it politely I said there

are people who already serve more time

than these they are people who already

served more time than most people with

similar offenses anything extra is

political imprisonment that's the right

frame but I'm just beginning so this so

the start is that if they've served as

much time as

comparable violators of the law even

violent ones even violent ones if they

served as much time in general but their

sentence would have gone much longer

that much longer part is the political

imprisonment part and it's the only part

that Trump forgave he forgave the

political part of the the sentence not

the part they've already served because

they did indeed hurt people uh who in

law enforcement now I'd like to also

give you some extra

context I agree with most of the country

that if you do some violence to a police

officer uh or a first responder of any

kind that should be a longer sentence is

everybody on board with that if if the

only thing you knew there were no

extremist you no other

circumstances if you heard a police

officer or a fireman or anybody in the

first responder world that hurts

Society that's not just the person who

got hurt so once you throw in my God you

know are you making it impossible to

have police if you're going to be

hurting police and we're not going to

punish you properly no that's a hard

hard line if you heard somebody in that

field of work you're hurting me because

I'm paying that person and I don't want

to pay them to be on disability I mean

it's not about money it's about what's

right it's about what works it's about

common sense so yes a longer sentence

all things being equal for that kind of

thing makes sense but the next part is

are all things equal is this just an

ordinary we've got evidence you heard

somebody it's a police officer or you

know somebody acting in that

capacity no here's the extra context

that I think makes it make sense for

Trump um I said that blame for the

violence is not limited to the

offenders and here I'm going to give the

offenders onethird of the

blame um I said it is one-third because

our election systems by Design and

that's important by Design signaled to

half the country that an election was St

stolen I agree they might be wrong so

I'm not aware of proof that the election

was stolen I'm not aware of

proof um but the election design flaw

the lack of

transparency combined with an odd come

from behind everywhere that

mattered that we watched in real time

and the violation of past bellweather

patterns meaning that in the past if you

lost in these particular areas you

definitely lost the whole country but if

you won in these very what it's called a

bellweather kind of area it would be

almost impossible to win all the Bell

weathers or say nine and a 10 and then

lose the election Trump did he won most

of the Bell weathers and somehow lost an

election but not until the last minute

count now again I have no proof no proof

that the election was stolen but I don't

think anybody reasonable would argue

that it was signaling it was

stolen I I think all of you will agree

would you agree that it signaled it was

stolen even if it wasn't now whoever

built a designed a system that you could

very much predict in advance would

eventually signal that it had been

stolen and we wouldn't be able to know

for sure because it's designed with not

enough transparency that you can't even

nobody can really know who

won if you design something that

guarantees you're going to have this

exact problem where where people are

going to get worked up to the point of

violence if your system design

guarantees it predictably you take a

little bit of the responsibility not all

of it not all of it because you some of

the blame a lot of it is on the person

who actually swung the bat you know used

the bear spray and all these terrible

things but they're not alone in the

responsibility if you built a system

that guarantees it

happens

so um so you got that and I said if the

protesters were right about the election

being stolen and here's my opinion and I

bet that they were given that every

other American institution has been

confirmed to be

crooked that means the protesters acted

in watch the careful

wording in the American tradition

here's what I started to say and backed

off I started to say you know that's how

the American Revolution started somebody

saw something that looked unfair and

they acted it's how Americans do

everything we look for trouble if we

think we see it we act if the trouble is

really really big there's no limit to

how we

act right that's an American tradition

you could talk about violence and

nobody's going to say I like

violence I don't like

violence but if you put Americans in a

specific situation where they think

they're

recognizing great evil and great risk it

is an American

tradition that they act and the

protesters were in that position where

they they thought they saw something

obviously that looked like a rigged

election and they acted in American

tradition that doesn't make it legal

remember the Revolutionary War wasn't

legal it wasn't

legal and people got hurt and now we

celebrate it why do we celebrate it

because when things were

bad Americans rose up and they acted and

they didn't put a restriction on what

those actions would be because the risk

was big enough that they decided that

that that risk was worth it

so if Americans act like Americans in

the American

tradition maybe they have to serve some

jail time depending on what they've done

under that context

maybe but the context really really

really matters and the pieces of in

the media have been telling us forever

that we could know and that Trump knew

and everybody knew Trump knew that the

election was fair let's get to that

um the other one-third blame for the

violence is with Pelosi and Millie and

whoever else turned down the right

amount of

security in other words it was an

inviting trap intentional or otherwise

if protesters saw no hope of getting

into the capital would they have acted

violently to try to make it happen if

the protesters had pulled up and you

know a bunch of military people with

military weapons lots of them like lots

of them which is what Trump ordered he

ordered lots of them he just didn't get

it do you think that the protesters

would said huh looks like I got to fight

my way through five layers of armed and

trained Killers uh who are heavily armed

and uh maybe not maybe not so if you're

in charge of security and you don't put

enough Security in and you knew you

didn't and you were asked to do it and

you didn't do it anyway you're onethird

of you're one-third responsible for

violence because security is supposed to

prevent violence so that the bad guys

come up and say oh it wouldn't make any

sense to do any violence in this

situation that'd be crazy and we're not

going to get into the building but if

you think that punching a

cop might you know somehow increase the

success of your protest I don't

recommend it by the way don't punch any

cops but if you think it might

work as bad as that is if it worked

you're going to try it if you think it's

not going to work you don't try it

that's why security matters so I'm going

to say one-third it's on the protesters

who Hur cops don't like that very bad

onethird on the security and one-third

on the design of the election system

which is designed so you can't know who

won nobody can know on any federal

election it's not knowable you can only

know what they told you that's it that's

all we know and you can know if you

found proof but you don't know if

there's any proof he didn't find and

that's where the that's where the idiots

try to convince you you can tell if

somebody's been hypnotized let's say

brainwashed versus they've thought it

through if somebody says Scott you have

to say the election is fair well no I

don't no everybody knows it was fair

that's not somebody who's thinking about

anything because if they were thinking

about it they would know that all of our

institutions are corrupt right science

has been lying to us on a lot of things

health care we went through the pandemic

need I say more uh Finance of course has

been rigged at the top forever

government completely corrupt in so many

ways FBI Department of Justice law

fairing we don't have any institutions

that aren't corrupt and we completely

know it are you telling me that in the

context of everything being corrupt

we've got this

non-transparent potentially easily rigal

system and it's the only thing that

wasn't rigged oh how lucky the the only

thing that matters the most is the only

thing that was

pure maybe but that would be the biggest

surprise in the world if you've lived in

the real world do you think that the

most important system and the one that

you could rig if you wanted to and you

let's say you were the CIA you think

that's the one thing that's not rigged

the one

thing that's not a real opinion if you

think that that's that's like just

something to laugh at oh oh you think

that's the one thing that even if we

can't

tell they didn't rig

it the United States is a an election

rigging monster we've done it what 80

coups in other countries which by the

way might be good for America I'm not

sure that the coups are a bad idea but

the the point is we have all these very

specific methods for rigging elections

in other countries obviously you think

none of that got turned inward what

because it would be wrong to do it we

just watched the the same group of

people massively organized this you know

censorship campaign by using us every

trick that they

use against other countries they're

trying to overthrow so we don't have to

wonder if the very same cats are doing

things that they would do usually

ideally only to other countries that

were trying to somehow

control you think they wouldn't use it

internally when we just watch them use

the other tools

internally of course they would I I

don't have any proof it happened but if

you think that that's somehow

unlikely you couldn't be Dumber I mean

you couldn't be dumber than thinking

it's unlikely did it happen I don't know

I don't have any

proof anyway

um so then I said this is where the

NPC's claim everyone including Trump

quote knew it was a fair election

because and by the way this is a writing

trick if you know when you're writing

something there's going to be a specific

disagreement you you want to slay the

specific disagreement before it even

comes out of their mouth so that's what

I'm doing here so I'm calling them NPCs

and saying if you think you knew it uh

uh it was if you think you knew it was a

fair election uh no that is

stupid so I saved my fword for the point

I want them to remember uh there is no

way for any citizen to know who won any

federal election

unless

unless the winner is outside the inner

circle like Trump and he's still wins

all the swing States I'm not too worried

that Trump's current election was stolen

by Trump because the person who has the

least access to you know the gears of

government at at that time uh won

overwhelmingly so that's not something

that the bad guys would have done and I

don't think it's something that the

Republicans could have pulled off uh on

their own so that looks real but not

because I can tell the elections are

well done only because if this person

won it means that they didn't have the

means to stop them because you know they

wanted

to all right so a few more

things um there's a excia agent uh

what's his name dily mailo is reporting

about this you've seen him in reals

probably he's in the he's on social

media a lot this week John uh kako so he

worked for the CIA for 14 years as an

officer and he said that the Agency

quote actively seeks to hire people who

have sociopathic tendencies but avoids

them if they have a full-blown Disorder

so apparently the the ideal CIA uh agent

or officer is somebody who's a little

bit

sociopath uh and that they're the ones

who rise to the highest levels now that

makes complete sense you know when you

hear about Pompeo

uh trying to organize a hit on

Assange how many of you could organize

somebody's

murder like even if you know I could

organize Bin Laden's murder okay that's

easy I could organize the murder of I

don't know uh a

cartel Hitman I mean I can do that

easily I mean it wouldn't bother me my

conscience but it seems like the CIA

would be in the business of

sometimes getting rid of somebody who

was a law-abiding person but they're

just in the way they're stopping some

larger National ambition now I don't

think it's legal to kill somebody like

that but I also think you know there's

some flexibility if you know what I mean

so I do think you probably have to be a

bit of a sociopath and that that would

allow you to rise to the top but it

might be the only thing that allows you

to do the job

imagine if you were the head of the CIA

and you were super woke and somebody

comes H you know I think we're going to

have to kill this leader of this African

country and you'd be like whoa whoa whoa

you're going to kill a black guy well no

it's not about being a black guy he's

he's the leader of this African country

has really big problems you know we we

think we want to take him out you're

going to kill a black guy no I'm not

going to allow that have you killed an

equal number of white

guys well we're not really keeping track

that way we're we're just trying to

remove people who are threat to our

national interest okay but you can't

kill the black guy first right so you

need a sociopath who just says what's

the reason we need to kill him all right

approved uh someone according to

futurism publication um someone invented

a fake

therapist uh and got a quoted in tons of

Articles including Newsweek so I guess

there's some chat place where therapists

and people talk and one of them was just

a fake one by somebody in the some kind

of sex product business they invented a

fake one and the fake one did so well

that it was widely quoted in National

media now I don't think the person who

invented the fake one necessarily had

any therapist skills it was just

somebody else pretending to be a

therapist but but just think about the

fact that you can simply pretend to be a

professional and the News will say well

sounds good to us sounds good meanwhile

according to new Atlas publication uh a

affordable housing project was 3D

printed in just 12

days

so uh if you like walls that are hard to

change after they're done this 3D

printing might be just the thing um they

have to finish it with humans using for

the electrical and the plumbing and

stuff and that's that takes the longest

time but it was just a three unit

terrorist multistory thing in eastern

Ireland now I don't think this

technology is quite there but you could

see it's going to be um I would rather

the 3D printer made uh legol like

blocks that I could just snap together

which Exist by the way there there are

concrete blocks that snap together like

Legos now and so that if I needed to

change an interior wall or even an

exterior wall um I would know exactly

how to do it because it's made of parts

and I can just move them as long as I've

got a you know the wall that keeps the

ceiling up what do you call that the uh

the load bearing wall as long long as

you don't affect the load bearing part

of it you should be able to play around

with your interior space so I think

that's where a 3D printer is getting it

WR because as a homeowner I've made lots

of changes to my home after I moved in

and it would bug the heck out of me if

if there was no if there were no

practical way to move a

wall but maybe other people would be

happy with

it there's a new drug in testing

according to the American Chemical

Society now you should know that if a

drug works in the

lab uh there's very small chance it's

going to work with a human if they do

some testing on a mouse and it works

good on a mouse there's still very

little chance it's going to work on a

human however there are cases where the

mouse Can U can have a transplant where

an American organ is basically attached

to the

mouse and then they can see if the human

organ uh dies or what what happens with

with the treatment so if you can get all

the way to making

uh a human

tumor die in a

mouse then you get very

excited now usually when I see stuff

like this you hear uh the new drug makes

your chemo 30% more effective to which I

say h but you're still on

chemo which is got a lot of side effects

it's only 30% I'm not even sure that's

even real I mean that could just be data

noise I don't know so usually there just

hundreds of these we've cured cancer

things but they don't work out in people

this one looks a little

different um so they actually it

actually shrunk tumors in the mouse

models and these were human breast

cancer tumors that they put in the mouse

and uh the expert said it is very rare

for a compound to shrink tumors in the

mouse models of breast cancer let alone

completely eradicate those tumors with a

single

dose completely

eradicated the human tumors in the

mouse with one dose no side

effects now you have my

attention and now you've got my

attention now the odds of it working in

humans

again I wouldn't get too excited because

it's a there's a low there's a very low

transfer rate from animal models to

humans but if you see something

completely remove a tumor with one dose

and it was designed to do it it wasn't

that they were just looking around for

stuff you know they had a good idea that

the mechanism would work that's why they

tested it that's pretty exciting now

here's the good news and the bad

news if you have or get cancer in 2025

you have a race against the clock now

like has never existed before because

when I was a kid these same stories were

every day when I was you know 18 years

old and not many of these came to

fruition so every day there's some claim

of this doesn't work out but what's

different is

AI if you overlay AI on top of this

world um the experts in AI are saying

you can end up curing basically all the

cancer anwers because you could look at

the DNA of the person you could check

the specifics of the tumor and then the

AI will tell you exactly the kind of you

know shot to give you that makes those

tumors go away now of course there's

some medical people who say oh don't let

the tech Brothers talk about science

they're not scientists or they're not

MediCal people and I get that but I do

think that pattern recognition is going

to be the big winning play and that's

what AI does well so it could be there's

no way to know we could be five years

away from cancer just being an

annoyance so if you've got cancer

today you've got a tough

choice because you can either do nothing

and hope for the you know single

compound that cures your thing but it's

going to take a few years to be

available or you can immediately get on

the chemo and you know the the brutal

stuff that has side effects right away

and when this compound becomes available

if it if it does it's not guaranteed

then you would still always have what

the side effects gave you even if they

cured your

cancer because the the you know the the

treatment can give you some pretty bad

permanent

damage so the decision about what to do

if you've got cancer is completely new

territory

um I think people are going to make some

hard choices and uh you're going to see

some some people just just not get

treated and they're just going to say

you know what I'm going to play I'm

going to play a long

game uh I'm just going to roll the dice

so you're going to see people's uh

approach to it change as the technology

is changing and that ladies and

gentlemen is what I had for today I knew

this a little bit long thank you for

staying everybody who stayed hope it was

interesting and uh welcome to the Golden

Age everything's looking good um I'm

going to talk to the locals people

privately now but thanks everybody for

joining and come back tomorrow please

and we'll enjoy the Golden Age a little

bit more hope today was fun I enjoyed it

a lot all right locals coming at you in
