Episode 2733 CWSA 01/28/25

the stock market is flattened out trying to figure out what's true and what isn't but I'll tell you what's true soon as we get going first let me see if I've got all my comments working and I do there we go good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams it's the best thing that ever happened to you but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a c Mar glass a tanker chel a Cen Jer flask vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite a liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now spectacular oh it just keeps getting better well let's talk about the people who wasted money on Research number one The Daily Mail is reporting that according to new research SE Arch people who are attractive get paid 11% more as if my followers didn't know that already so I hope you're all enjoying your 11% extra pay because let's face it you are the sexiest best looking group of people on the entire planet so it it's a little bit unfair but I think they could have saved a little bit of time and money by just asking me just ask Scott hey Scott do you think Attractive people make more money yes do you think people who are men who are taller make more money yes you don't have to do that one either I know all the answers to these how about another one according to SAI post Vladimir hry writes that Anor might enhance creative performance again just ask me really you could just ask me yes and anger creates you know generates more creative performance I'm getting a little mad at this right now and look how much better I'm doing yeah anger when I started the dillberg comic uh there was a direct correlation between how much something bothered me and how funny I could make it 100% perfect correlation and in fact I I developed the uh the humor concept that you can't make it a joke about something that doesn't bother you you just can't do it you could try but it would just be oh seat belts well actually seat belts are pretty good so just ask me next time all right uh according to the Daily Mail this one sounds like I made it up but I didn't make this up more than half of dating app users plan to abstain from masturbating this year but uh but the article warrants there could be all kinds of risks apparently it makes your penis and Andor your clitoris shrink if you don't work it out yeah it'll shrink um and it's you good for your prostate if you're a guy and it's good for your cardio and I know a lot of people just replace their cardio routine with masturbating you just do it a little more aggressively and it's all about the same um however um I think that the real reason for the lack of masturbating is that people don't look as good to each other as they used to have you how many of you have noticed that it's not just me right now part of it is I think you know I'm at a certain age where I don't have really contact with young people so I'm pretty much seeing people my age and you know 50 and over but uh it does seem like people are way less attractive in the general public if if you want if you want to see somebody attractive let's say female you know you end up looking at some you know weird uh only fans situation and you and and then you're like maybe yuck down by that so yeah I could totally see why people would just be less aroused testosterone would be lower and I'm sure for the women you know half of the men look like look like they're just women so so yeah I can see why people just be giving up according to the post millennial now here's one of these things where you think it couldn't be true what people are claiming and then you see this stat 15% of women in federal prison were born men so they're trans 15% of women's prisons are biological males now to make sense because because biological males tend to be the ones who create the most crimes so if you've got enough trans you're going to be filling your prisons with because men are just more likely to commit crimes so yeah 15% now that's something that Trump is ending right I think he's yeah he's going to change that imagine if you went all through all the trouble of going trans so you could get into a women's prison and then they then they pull you back in a Men's prison you would be like you would feel so good about yourself you're like yes I beat the system yeah they can put me in prison but they're going to have to put me in the woman's prison because I put on a dress then Trump's like okay take your dress to The Men's prison oh that that could work out entirely differently well CNN's uh is getting rid of uh uh what's his name Jim Masta so Jim Masta is quitting apparently because they moved him to the midnight slot which is what you do when you you're trying to get somebody to quit on their own because I think it's cheaper if they quit so that worked that plan worked so cost is out now he he had been the dumbest guy or I I I don't know if he's the dumbest let's say he was the one who seemed least interested in the truth but they have this uh new dumb person uh C Katherine rampel who's on the panels with Scott Jennings and some other people and she's quite a quite a piece of work it feels like CNN's just trying to put their business completely out of business like here here's somebody you would only let on TV if you were trying to destroy your own business model I mean just incredible so she's sort of a shaking TDS that old racist kind of a kind of a panelist and uh she was she went on a 5 minute rant about how Elon Musk is clearly some kind of a racist Nazi because of all the all the little hints all the little hints uh including the fact that twice he's raised his hand above his waist oh I didn't know that apparently twice one of his hands has been higher than his waist W I guess I'm going to have to rethink everything here I thought he wasn't a Nazi but now that I know his hand is gone up twice above his waist I'm rethinking everything but wait there's more there's more so part of her evidence is that the actual Nazis in Germany I guess uh said it was a salute oh no oh no the actual Nazis said it's a salute in another words CNN is using Nazis as their source of Truth why would you use Nazis as your source of as your fact Checkers did they replace replace Daniel Dale I'd like to see Daniel Dale fact check that huh if the Nazis say it's a salute it must be a salute it's not because the Nazis want to draw attention to themselves and act exactly like people that they're more popular than they are no it's not opportunistic at all let me tell you the proper way to respond to that when somebody says but but the Nazis say it's a salute what you want to do is uh you would say why do you think they think it's a Nazi salute it's because they watched CNN where else would they learn that that was a Nazi salute they didn't make it up on their own do you think they go around all day long and every time somebody puts their arm in the air they're like yep yep there's another one Nazi salute no the reason they're targeting Elon Musk is because CNN told them it's a Nazi salute and then they look at then they look at the Nazis as the source no CNN you're the source the Nazis never even would have thought about it because there's not a single Nazi that thinks that touching your heart and saying my heart goes out to you is see K not one you can't find one Nazi that thinks that's that's the case but you can find Nazis that watch CNN can't you and and do you think they watched Fox News no they weren't watching Fox News because Fox News said this is ridiculous it's obviously not a Nazi slute so where are they getting their information they're getting it from CNN so CNN is the choice of news for the Nazis which I think has to mean something does doesn't it I mean connect the dots right if if the Nazis are getting their information from CNN that would sort of suggest the CNN or Nazis right I'm just seeing how stupid I could be see if I can get a job on the panel anyway uh and the fact that Netanyahu says absolutely he's not a Nazi you know he he's a big friend of Israel he came and he toured the Holocaust sites You' think that would be enough I'd like to suggest the standard for knowing if somebody's a Nazi now you you couldn't use this as an absolute but I think if if the head of Israel says in public this is ridiculous he's a friend of Israel that should sort of settle it don't you think be because who's better at spotting Nazis the you know the actual head of Israel or a panelist on CNN I don't know I think Israel's got that down Scott Jennings warned that she went so far that she might want to lawyer up because it was just such um such obvious defamation now I don't I'm no expert on defamation but suppose she did get sued for suggesting with her five minutes of evidence that musk must be a Nazi suppose he's suit her what would be what would be the defense she would have to she would have to either say she wasn't trying to suggest he's Nazi which of course was the entire point of her you know entire thing that would be ridiculous or she'd have to say I'm too stupid to know it's not true so she'd actually have to her defense would have to be that she says things that are not true and she knows it and didn't mean it like it it would be a ridiculous defense because it's so obviously intentional and so obvious what her intention is I don't know I'm not sure if the lawsuit is is worth that but uh then Abby Phillip who's you the host for that same panel she's the CNN host um she gives a musk a hard time I think separately for saying that Germany needs to move past their guilt so here's how she reframed move past your guilt she says is forgetting the Holocaust did did Elon Musk say we should forget the Holocaust again he literally just toured the Holocaust sites with Netanyahu who else has done that who's actually toured the Holocaust sites with Netanyahu that that's as far as you can get from Forgetting the Holocaust so this is this is so disgustingly stupid and Petty and weak that I'm going to guess that Abby philli will be the next one that CNN gets rid of because their credibility is really tanking with it with that particular host I mean that's just unforgivable really anyway Jim acosta's out as I said he's quit CNN but at least he has that Don Lemon career path ahead of him what no all right I've got a question for you I'm going to make a generalization I don't think the generalization holds for every case but it might it goes like this when a Fox News host uh leaves Fox News they can get a big audience because they were a celebrity say Tucker Carlson um now uh Hannity is not planning to leave but suppose he did if hanity left Fox News tomorrow don't you think he'd have a huge podcast he would because he's a star um how about geld he's not going anywhere because he's got two his shows on Fox news but what if he did he he would bring with him a gigantic audience because is a star and you could you know Go Right Down the Line Jesse Waters blah blah blah blah blah stars stars stars but here here's what I noticed this morning the stars make Fox News that that's what makes it the better show yeah they also have better producers I always say that their production their production skills are just amazing so good um but they have lots of stars and and part of part of being good at producing is making sure you selected people with personality and character and could be stars but it seems to me that the CNN hosts none of them have an audience if they were to leave I think they would all turn into Don Lemon and you would find that it was CNN that made them famous and and successful I mean if successful is the right word whereas uh at Fox the the talent made the network at CNN the network makes the talent well known it seems opposite is is that a fair a fair generalization might be too far but you know there's so many obvious examples of it anyway MSNBC Rachel Mano says that uh they made a difficult decision for what she calls a news organization so she calls MSNBC her employer a news organization okay and uh while she's lying about it being a news organization she says she doesn't want them uh that the network has decided not to air all of the Trump speeches because of all the things he might say that are untrue and she said that in the context of claiming they're a news organization now if you were underinformative if you look at the design of it it doesn't look like it's designed to be news it looks like it's designed as propaganda that's supposed to look like it's also news now you could argue that maybe the some other entities are the same but it's the one that's most obviously not really news it's most obviously obviously just some kind of Intel driven government Democrat driven propaganda machine that just happens to be in the slight in the news domain then over at the The View uh Senator fedman went on The View and uh just slapped him down on this lawfare stuff according to Fox News uh he said the judicial system gets weaponized and targeted political enemies for political gain so he was saying that the New York charges all 34 uh 34 felony counts which is what the Democrats like to say Federman just swept away all 34 felony counts by saying obviously just lawfare there's no way they would have taken anybody else to court for that basically just on her head on live TV and walked away I'm just liking Federman now some people are saying hey you know maybe he'll turn into a republican because he's he's got some uh skills that seem to go both ways but as he pointed out um he's got a number of policies that wouldn't be compatible with uh Republicans so he's not going to change but uh my my smartest Democrat friend who I often mention I've been wanting to catch up with him because I thought surely by now surely by now a normal smart person watching the news would realize that Trump is doing what the public wants him to do by quite a big majority he's the most popular he's ever been and things are happen that looked good so I was expecting oh this is going to be good next time I see him oh my God or hear from him I'm going to i g to have my Victory lap and I won't even have to say a thing I won't even have to make my argument I'll be just like told you see instead I got an email saying that he was planning ahead to the next race and which Democrat and he gave a list of them which Democrat did we think was going to be the best candidate and he said that you know once Trump has completely embarrassed and destroyed the country that we'll be ready for a p Buddha judge and I said seriously be Buddha that would be your strongest guy that almost sounds like a joke I mean really of all the people in the world and and then he said but maybe he can't get elected because he's gay and then I said well how many Republicans were going to vote for him it it wouldn't matter if he was gay or not gay no Republicans going to vote for him so aren't you saying that the Democrats are anti-gay I think he just called his own party anti-gay because all he has to do is get all the Democrat votes right aren't there more Democrats than oh maybe that changed actually I don't know that I thought there were more Democrats than Republicans but did that change did it change this this season anyway but but when you when you see that other world and you get a peek at it you think they really don't have anything because if a smart well-informed person on that side and again he's very smart if if we were to compare IQs I think I think he'd beat me but wow Pete Buddha judge really yeah forget about the gay part and I don't I've never talked to anybody who cared about that but how can he possibly win I don't know maybe I'm wrong could be the I'm the one who's being silly uh AOC was trying her best to come up with something that she could say that doesn't sound dumb about Trump butth this is the best she came up with she said the Norms are starting to embrace Trump the Norms are embracing him why would you form that sentence let let me fix that sentence Trump has popular policies Trump is doing popular things people like it that's the way you say that here's the way you say it if you're just being weird the Norms are embracing Trump that's sort of like saying the car ran over somebody and the knife stabbed somebody and the the gun killed somebody I I really think it's the person doing the thing it's not the thing doing the person is it did did the Norms form into some kind of a morphous gaseous entity and did it did it then Embrace Trump oh the Norms are embracing you no it's just words what the hell the the Democrats are so lost so lost it's just crazy the best they have is word salad and uh I think the uh the Nazis watch CNN believe he's a Nazi so Trump gave a speech yesterday to a republican group and he was on the stage for most of the time with h Mike Johnson and Steve scales and I just had a moment while I was watching that do you realize that of those three scalise Trump and Johnson two out of three Republican leaders have been shot two out of three of the top Republican leaders have been shot I mean I like I'm my mind is boggled like really shot two out of three like I don't even have a comment on that but that's that's the world we live in God um one of the things Trump did that is it's it's vexing if you're a supporter uh as I am but it's also so on point with what what he does he starts by teasing that you know he can't run for a third term but you know maybe maybe he can you know he needs to check that out now I think he's kidding but whether he's kidding or not you know that that's what the the bad guys are going to pick up on and they're going to be running around in a circle saying that you want a third term I think I think he does that intentionally right because he doesn't have the ability to be uninteresting Trump is genetically interesting everything he does is a little bit interesting and so he's just giving a talk and he throws out the the reddest of all red meat I might run for a third term you know never leave office I think he's just trolling and and keeping them talking about the least important thing that's you know not real in any way but but wow um Trump said uh he was talking about CNN at the same speech and Trump says uh they say we had the greatest first week in presidential history even CNN is saying this guy is amazing I said did CNN really say that but nobody watches so nobody was able to confirm that's the trumpi thing that anybody ever said from Trump the trumpi thing is making fun of CNN and then then saying the CNN complimented him but he can't confirm it because nobody watches CNN now that is just genuinely funny all right there's speaking of fake news there's a story today that's either two separate stories or fake news or too too complicated for us to understand so I woke up to see that uh the that Trump has said the US military just entered the great state of California and according to Trump under emergency Powers they turned on the water flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest and Beyond the the days of putting fake environmental argument over people are over enjoy the Water California all right so he's drawing a picture where all you had to do was send in the smart people to turn on the spigot and then all of LA's California water problems would be solved so California wouldn't do it because of some environmental thing so we send somebody in to turn on the water and we're all fixed now now does that sound true to you when you read that do you say oh yeah there's nothing else I need to know about that story did that did that just hit the Bull's Eye for you all right so here's a reporter for uh I think it's the LA uh paper um saying that military did not enter Cali California no I think it was somebody from the water district or something the military did not enter California the federal government restarted Federal water pumps after they offline for maintenance for three days state water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful all right so Trump says there's not enough water California says water is plentiful Trump says he he created whole new flow of water the state says no they just turned on some things that were down for maintenance for 3 days so basically nothing so was it nothing or was it something and I still don't know but I will refer you to a long thread on California water situation from Joel Pollock you can see that in my feed or you can see it in his feed um on X and here's the situation the the water situation in California is complicated it's complicated not only because there's a whole bunch of different aqueducts and sources and you know different things going to different places but there's also a history so there's a history of what was and what they had to change and what was an environmental change and you know what was the natural situation with the weather when it rained and when it didn't and you'd kind of have to know it all to know what's true and what isn't I don't know at all what I do know is it's complicated enough that I have no idea what happened I don't think Trump gave California more water I don't think that happened but I'm just guessing because the story is too complicated so what will be interesting is to see how CNN and other places uh handle it because if this just turns into two movies where Fox News says uh says Trump turned on all the water and everything's fixed and then seeing says nothing happened we're not really going to be well served as a public and I worry that that's going to happen one will say it happened and one will just say it didn't happen and then we'll just go to the next topic and we'll never know what happened and we'll just keep our individual views of that forever maybe but uh let's talk about uh Karen Bass the mayor of La who is getting a lot of heat for her handling of the situation you know what she announced today that they would hire a consultant to help rebuild a consultant do you know what that is do you know what happens when the mayor says we're going to hire a consultant to make recommendations about our gazillion dollars that it will take to build things I don't know how to interpret that except that it's a crime in progress my understanding of local governments at least for the bigger cities is that they're they're all corrupt and they're corrupt in a specific way that's easy to do and is common to all local government which is once you're the one who's in charge of where the money goes or even hiring the person who decides where the money goes that that's always a pay for play in other words there's some Kickback going to the mayor every time now it might not be obvious could be indirect could be something that she cares about something else but in every case I expect if the mayor appoints the consultant who's going to make these decisions that's just a rigged political money-making process that has nothing to do with what's good for the public I thought that when Trump was going to put a special master in charge of you know making sure the money from the federal government didn't get wasted I was hoping we would avoid exactly this Karen bass deciding who a consultant would be there's nothing that's a bigger red signal basically that's saying they're not going to fix it that's saying they're going to steal it if if you tell me I got a consultant to figure out how to do it I just hear you stole it you not even planning to do anything but steal it and there's a lot of money involved so of course they're going to steal it if they can so I don't have a specific detailed accusation about Karen bass it's my assumption that everybody in those jobs is Ste and they're doing it one way or another and it's just the most normal thing in the world and it's why all of our cities are crap because the people in charge are always stealing as far as I can tell now you're a consultant well a consultant for a business is very different than a consultant to to a city if the mayor Pi picks the consultant that's just a gigantic signal for something bad if a company picks a consultant well it just depends how good the consultant is I me it's entirely just a you know did you get what you paid for but the the city stuff is just all in the context of corruption I think that's just my belief I don't have any proof of it but I just assume it the reason I assume it is it's such an easy crime to get away with that over time the people who want to do that crime are the people who are going to try the hardest for those jobs so they and they would succeed anyway Rand Paul's going to um investigate 14 agencies that had something to do with the co over the co origin story so he thinks that that's a good time to find that out uh that that Co origin story is just so weird because I really thought everybody knew it was the lab from early on and now we're pretending like we're just learning it was the lab there's something I don't even understand about that I thought we all knew that for years weird uh meanwhile New York Magazine did a what we call a rupar edit on their cover so I did a story about a gathering of young Republicans and conservatives I guess bunch of partying conservatives and they commented that a photo that showed the crowd at least a closeup of the crowd uh didn't have any they they were all white so New York Magazine runs a photo and says seems like they're all white their very own photo had uh several black attendees that they cropped out they literally cropped the black people out and then said there's no no black people it gets better guess who hosted guess who hosted the event it was hosted by CJ Pearson who is a young black conservative the thing was hosted by a young well-known black guy uh and and there were black people in attendance of course so that's that's your media for you meanwhile uh Robbie Starbuck is saying that uh on X 19 attorney generals just sent a letter to Costco warning that Dei policies are illegal because it discriminates on Race 19 attorney generals just went after Costco is that enough what would happen if the other attorney generals waigh in on the other side and said oh that's not that's not bad Dei is good because that would be the blue States versus Red State situation well um here's what I think so the first thing I do is look up who is the CEO of of Costco and it's a white guy it's a white guy have I have I warned you about white guys white guys are pretty much the source of all Dei now some some of you can say no no it's it's white women white women because they're the ones in the they're more white women in Dei jobs so you'd say it's white women to which I say no that's a trick by the white men that's just a white man trick they hire women for those jobs and minorities for those jobs so that you'll think Dei is caused by the women or the minorities who are in the de I jobs no it's the CEO it's the CEO covering his big fat ass so that you think you can give him 12 million dollar a year which Costco does and he's a good guy if you put any white man in that job and they're going to say wait a minute let me see if I understand this if I just pretend I'm really big on Dei you're going to give me $12 million a year yes suppose I didn't pretend that like thei well I know it'd be hard to hard to say that you should be in that job because I'm pretty sure we like that stuff yeah so the problem is always white men covering their ass H as I've said before I've been deeply discriminated against for gender and race in my career you know first at a bank then at the phone company and then in TV work but every time a white man was behind it who was covering his own fat ass every time so I've never been discriminated against by anybody except white guys were covering their ass so 19 attorney generals just went after a white guy covering his ass let's see who wins I'm going to bet on the Attorneys General well Mike Lee based Mike Lee has a uh interesting idea to handle the cartels have you ever heard of there's a constitutional um constitutional component I guess that allows something called letters of Mark spelled m a r quu e and these haven't been used in a 100 years or so but what it was is when the US government wanted to take care of something like let's say Pirates they didn't like Pirates they could hire their own Pirates to kill the other Pirates or they could hire basically a private army they could they could give them Authority to act on behalf of the United States just by being real bastards against something that we didn't like so and the and the people who got the letter of Mark could keep the booty so if they took out a pirate they could just keep it and that would be their profet so that's why that's why people would say yes to it so it hasn't been used in a long time but uh Mike Le suggesting that what if we did use it against the cartels suppose we said if you wanted to form a private militia now it would have to be it would have to be authorized not not on your own right you would have to go to the government and the government would have to issue an actual letter of Mark you know an official act that would authorize you to take out the cartels and keep their money do do you think do you think uh that there would be anybody who willing to take that I mean you know I've never been a special forces person but if I were retired Special Forces and I thought I could get a big payday and I wasn't afraid of that kind of stuff I don't know I don't know it might be able to raise private militia um I wouldn't do this until the the normal way of doing business failed completely but it's kind of interesting I wouldn't rule it out I think it's too soon to try it because we should just do more normal stuff first but let's see all right well it's been 24 hours since that deep seek AI hit hit the uh world and yesterday the open AI stock um or actually Nidia stock dropped about 16 17% which is really big because it's you trillion trillions of dollar company and people thought oh no it's the end of the United States AI industry and I think I told you yesterday not so fast you it'll probably take a hit because people are processing the news so if you're still processing the news of this Ultra cheap competitor and AI that comes out of China that's actually open source it doesn't even cost anything so if so my caution was that it'll probably take a hit but by the end of the year the stock would probably recover and be ahead of it now it looks like it flat flattened out today so we may have already hit the bottom but here's what I predicted and uh you can already see it coming true what I predicted was is that the US would start seeing issues with it and those issues would allow the government to have cover for degrading this as a product that can really be used so here's what I mean question number one how would we know if it was trained on propaganda the the source code is open so you can see all the source code but the source code doesn't tell you what it was trained on the data that was trained on is is not something we have access to so what if they just trained it on a bunch of pro-china propaganda you know plus all the generic stuff in the world so that it was essentially a brainwashing tool how do we know well the only way we' know is by asking a questions that would get to that very point and it turns out people are asking that question um and sure enough uh so Joshua Harley was asking us some questions and if he ask us some questions about China that it doesn't want to answer it actually starts to answer them and into racism while you watch I can't talk about that so it does know you know some bad stuff about china such as the Wagers let's say but and it will start to write it and then it will whoops which means that they've got some kind of safety valve on there that makes it change its mind I don't know if you could find that safety valve in the code where else would it be so that's an open question um so so we've got the issue um and then then Joshua Hartley also asked it if it used any or how how it was created and it said that it was created with these Nvidia gpus now that's that's deep seek itself saying it was created using these chips that it should not have legal access to so the question I have is is that real did did China really allow it to say that it uses stolen technology here's what I think this just a just a presumption what I think is that um it could be that deep seek hallucinated the use of those chips because that would be a good hallucination because if it knows that there's no way it could be AI unless it had had some uh some of those ships involved wouldn't it just make the connection on its own so so let me say it more to the point more to the point if what if what uh deep seek knows is only what it was trained on why in the world would China train it on secret data that says they stole some gpus from Nvidia or got them in some illicit way how in the world how in the world would deep sea even have access to that to train on it so I wonder if it if it found that in its training and China didn't know how to that it had to get rid of that uh or did it just assume that there's no other way it could exist unless some Nvidia gpus were involved so you really can't tell if it really thought that or it just assumed that so that's interesting so we don't know if it's a propaganda machine we we can see evidence that it it is hiding what we would think is the truth um we don't know if it's hallucinating and it's it's also should be noted that most people who use it in the long run will use the version that's connected to China so they can connect your they they can collect your personal information again now a lot of the news about deep seek was that so exciting you could run it on a local computer but the local one will never be as good as the one that's connected all the time so we're going to get all excited about the local one which basically will be a toy you know just maybe another user interface but the real one the one people would use if they just go to their browser because they don't want to figure out how to load it on their personal computer will be connected so again it's a way for China to collect all kinds of information on its users so the that and then we find out that there's this huge Cyber attack on deep seek now who would do that who would do a major Cyber attack on deep sea well first of all they'd have to have a lot of skill let's say could it be China well no it's it's China's product so they wouldn't attack it could it be Russia no it doesn't seem like something Russia would do why would they Iran no Israel no Europe no they don't they're barely in AI so who who would do such a thing I I can only think of us if it's not the United States it should be because if it's true that our biggest AI companies are and it looks like it's confirmed are going to be in bed with the CIA the CIA can't let China destroy the AI industry in the United States there 's probably no limit to what the CIA would do to make sure that the US is dominant in AI so the first thing the CIA would do if they're doing their job and if they're you know in bed with AI is they would look to destroy deep seek so if I had to guess who's doing a major Cyber attack probably us I mean can you come up with a better idea do you think the Sri Lankans just decided to go to war like who else would it be Africa what Greenland Greenland decided to kind of assert itself I mean honestly who else would it be now I guess you could say well it could be individuals really maybe but why would the individuals want to take out this great free new product I don't know sounds like us so as you know there's an ACC accusation that The Whistleblower for open AI was murdered now if it's true that controlling AI in the world is an existential most important thing for our country and it might be might be the most important thing would the CIA kill an American citizen to guarantee American dominance probably yes that doesn't mean they did but wouldn't that be sort of on point killing one person to save the country again not saying that they did but I kind of feel like that's their job I hate to say it if they're trying to keep the country safe and The Whistleblower would have taken down our most important AI asset it feels like we would have killed them we meaning somebody associated with our government and the same with deep seek so what I expect and what I predicted is that our government will try to degrade access to or even the product itself so I think we will probably see a massive campaign to say it's too dangerous like Tik Tok or something and somehow it will be banned eventually unless unless we just out compete it which is also possible we might just out compete it so grock 3 is launching this week which is 10 times the computing power and pretty soon voice mode is coming so you can talk to grock and grock's got the I think the most impressive uh data center which should give it either now or soon the most impressive AI so I feel like even if AI is free like you can get a free uh deep seek I'm still going to take the one that's better if it's you know say $20 a month I think I'm always going to want the one that's better so we'll see I think America is going to be way more competitive than we thought for 24 hours when that free one dropped deportations up to 12200 uh on Sunday and so the I guess Trump wanted that number to get up it was only it was only in the lower hundreds for a few days um but only 600 people crossed illegally on Sunday that's like a that's a ridiculously low number now turns out that closing the Border wasn't that hard just like Trump said Wall Street Journal is reporting that uh the Trump justice department uh fired more than a dozen lawyers that were working with Jack Smiths to prosecutions of the president now I'm completely in favor of that I I think that if you were a prosecutor and you willingly take an assignment that is clearly lawfare and the person you're trying to laware gets into office you're fired you're very fired and that's the way it should be because if you're going to cross that line and lawfare somebody because you can when they get in power they're going to fire your ass and I am so on board for that because that's what we need that's good for the country it's good for the country that the bad guys know that there's a price and the price is their jobs and if you want if if you want to think oh I'm just being a lawyer just doing what I'm told no you better think about it next time you better think it through because Trump's coming for you if you came for him and I'm I'm absolutely on board with that you got to rebalance the power structure you got to make sure there's a deterrent for bad behavior uh Invidia is up to an half percent yeah so so I think that might have been a one- day Scare and a lot of people are trying to get into Nvidia at a good entry price so I think there were I think there was a ton of money on the side Sidelines thinking well I kind of want to own Nvidia but it seems to just go up too much every day and I haven't bought it yet and then it looks like it's a good price so all right so you might know that uh Scott bessent got confirmed so he's going to be the treasury secretary and uh he's helping Trump push the idea of tariffs as opposed to income tax now I wanted to run some numbers so I used perplexity AI which got different numbers than so I'll tell you both um so I thought to myself is that really something that could happen like how much do we collect in taxes or how much is the budget I guess how much is the budget and then how much would we have to charge in tariffs to replace all of our income tax and and so I did a quick calculation and it looks like if Trump put a 20% tariff on every single thing that comes into the country it would be 5 to 10% of what we need to cover the budget 20% tariff on every single import every single one would only be 5 to 10% of what we need to cover the current budget now the current budget is probably twice what it should be I'm not sure we can ever reduce that but let's say that goes down 30% you know let's say doge is just wildly successful you're still not even close so I don't really understand uh the whole tariff instead of income tax is that is that really based on Something Real the numbers don't look like they could possibly add up but I I would like to be corrected about that so if I'm wrong about that you let me know um the good news about tariffs is it LO it encourages local production because it would give therefore it would give a some cost advantages to doing things locally um so that's good but I don't think that that's enough of a boost to make it make sense what might make sense is uh tariffs at the same time as other things uh according to uh Ann uh garelli for the Washington examiner uh there are two law enforcement officers who have said that the Mexican cartel uh has put a green light to open fire on US Federal enforcement at the border do you believe that um I'm not sure I could totally trust you know some law enforcement people who said they heard it so I don't know if they have good sources but do you believe the cartel just said it's War just open fire we're going to have to wait and see it doesn't feel like the right play you know as much as you want to hate the cartels they do act like a well oiled machine unfortunately and would it make sense for them to escalate before they had to seems like they should try to avoid all contact with the US Military uh for as long as possible to to May because maybe then the American political system will talk you know talk us out of doing it so I don't know if I believe that but we're going to find out there there were some uh shots exchanged just yesterday I think but that might have been a one-off we'll see yeah sound like BS all right yeah if you say it's BS there's a lag in the comments so you're going to have to tell me the topic so I know which one of which one of my topics is BS so Nidia chips in the research paper deep seeks engineers said they used the older chips not the best ones and 2,000 of them all right all right so ladies and gentlemen that's what I had for to today's topic is there anything I missed I thought I'd Zoom through it and get back get you back to work all right uh I'm going to talk to the uh locals people privately for a few minutes subscription uh the the people who are behind the subscription pay wall and uh I'm going to change all this soon okay and we'll do the closing zip as soon as uh I've hit the willbe private button takes about 30 seconds if you're on uh You.

Tube or X or Rumble thanks for joining I'm going private with just the locals people now and I'll see you tomorrow e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

the stock market is flattened out trying

to figure out what's true and what isn't

but I'll tell you what's true soon as we

get going first let me see if I've got

all my comments

working and I

do there we go

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams it's the

best thing that ever happened to you but

if you'd like to take this experience up

to levels that nobody can even

understand with their tiny shiny human

brains all you need for that is a c Mar

glass a tanker chel a Cen Jer flask

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite a liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine hit of the day the thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous sip it happens

now

spectacular oh it just keeps getting

better well let's talk about the people

who wasted money on Research number one

The Daily Mail is reporting that

according to new research SE Arch people

who are attractive get paid 11%

more as if my followers didn't know that

already so I hope you're all enjoying

your 11% extra pay because let's face it

you are the sexiest best looking group

of people on the entire planet so it

it's a little bit unfair but I think

they could have saved a little bit of

time and money by just asking me just

ask Scott hey Scott do you think

Attractive people make more money yes do

you think people who are men who are

taller make more money

yes you don't have to do that one either

I know all the answers to these how

about another

one according to SAI post Vladimir hry

writes that Anor might enhance creative

performance

again just ask me really you could just

ask me yes and anger creates you know

generates more creative performance I'm

getting a little mad at this right now

and look how much better I'm doing yeah

anger when I started the dillberg comic

uh there was a direct correlation

between how much something bothered me

and how funny I could make it 100%

perfect

correlation and in fact I I developed

the uh the humor concept that you can't

make it a joke about something that

doesn't bother you you just can't do it

you could try but it would just be oh

seat belts well actually seat belts are

pretty

good so just ask me next

time all right

uh according to the Daily

Mail this one sounds like I made it up

but I didn't make this up more than half

of dating app users plan to abstain from

masturbating this year

but uh but the article warrants there

could be all kinds of risks apparently

it makes your penis and Andor your

clitoris

shrink if you don't work it

out yeah it'll shrink um and it's you

good for your prostate if you're a guy

and it's good for your cardio

and I know a lot of people just replace

their cardio routine with masturbating

you just do it a little more

aggressively and it's all about the same

um

however um I think that the real reason

for the lack of

masturbating is that people don't look

as good to each other as they used

to have you how many of you have noticed

that it's not just me right now part of

it is I think you know I'm at a certain

age where I don't have really contact

with young people so I'm pretty much

seeing people my age and you know 50 and

over but uh it does seem like people are

way less attractive in the general

public if if you want if you want to see

somebody attractive let's say female you

know you end up looking at some you know

weird uh only fans situation and you and

and then you're like maybe yuck down by

that so yeah I could totally see why

people would just be less aroused

testosterone would be lower and I'm sure

for the women you know half of the men

look like look like they're just women

so so yeah I can see why people just be

giving

up according to the post millennial now

here's one of these things where you

think it couldn't be true what people

are claiming and then you see this stat

15% of women in federal prison were born

men so they're

trans

15% of women's prisons are biological

males now to make sense because because

biological males tend to be the ones who

create the most crimes so if you've got

enough trans you're going to be filling

your prisons with because men are just

more likely to commit crimes so yeah 15%

now that's something that Trump is

ending right I think he's yeah he's

going to change

that imagine if you went all through all

the trouble of going trans so you could

get into a women's prison and then they

then they pull you back in a Men's

prison you would be like you would feel

so good about yourself you're like yes I

beat the system yeah they can put me in

prison but they're going to have to put

me in the woman's prison because I put

on a dress then Trump's like okay take

your dress to The Men's prison oh that

that could work out entirely

differently well CNN's uh is getting rid

of

uh uh what's his name Jim Masta so Jim

Masta is quitting apparently because

they moved him to the midnight slot

which is what you do when you you're

trying to get somebody to quit on their

own because I think it's cheaper if they

quit so that worked that plan worked so

cost is out now he he had been the

dumbest guy or I I I don't know if he's

the dumbest let's say he was the one who

seemed least interested in the

truth but they have this uh new dumb

person uh C Katherine rampel who's on

the panels with Scott Jennings and some

other people and she's quite a quite a

piece of work it feels like CNN's just

trying to put their business completely

out of business like here here's

somebody you would only let on TV if you

were trying to destroy your own business

model I mean just incredible so she's

sort of a shaking TDS that old racist

kind of a kind of a panelist and uh she

was she went on a 5 minute rant about

how Elon Musk is clearly some kind of a

racist Nazi because of all the all the

little hints all the little hints uh

including the fact that twice he's

raised his hand above his waist oh I

didn't know that apparently twice one of

his hands has been higher than his waist

W I guess I'm going to have to rethink

everything here I thought he wasn't a

Nazi but now that I know his hand is

gone up twice above his waist I'm

rethinking

everything but wait there's more there's

more so part of her evidence is that the

actual Nazis in Germany I guess uh said

it was a salute oh no oh no the actual

Nazis said it's a salute in another

words

CNN is using Nazis as their source of

Truth why would you use Nazis as your

source of as your fact Checkers did they

replace replace Daniel Dale I'd like to

see Daniel Dale fact check that huh if

the Nazis say it's a salute it must be a

salute it's not because the Nazis want

to draw attention to themselves and act

exactly like people that they're more

popular than they are no it's not

opportunistic at

all let me tell you the proper way to

respond to that when somebody says but

but the Nazis say it's a

salute what you want to do is

uh you would say why do you think they

think it's a Nazi

salute it's because they watched

CNN where else would they learn that

that was a Nazi salute

they didn't make it up on their own do

you think they go around all day long

and every time somebody puts their arm

in the air they're like yep yep there's

another one Nazi salute no the reason

they're targeting Elon Musk is because

CNN told them it's a Nazi salute and

then they look at then they look at the

Nazis as the source no CNN you're the

source the Nazis never even would have

thought about it because there's not a

single Nazi that thinks that touching

your heart and saying my heart goes out

to you is see K not one you can't find

one Nazi that thinks that's that's the

case but you can find Nazis that watch

CNN can't you and and do you think they

watched Fox News no they weren't

watching Fox News because Fox News said

this is ridiculous it's obviously not a

Nazi slute so where are they getting

their information they're getting it

from CNN so CNN is the choice of news

for the Nazis which I think has to mean

something does doesn't it I mean connect

the dots right if if the Nazis are

getting their information from CNN that

would sort of suggest the CNN or Nazis

right I'm just seeing how stupid I could

be see if I can get a job on the

panel

anyway uh and the fact that

Netanyahu says absolutely he's not a

Nazi you know he he's a big friend of

Israel he came and he toured the

Holocaust sites You' think that would be

enough I'd like to suggest the

standard for knowing if somebody's a

Nazi now you you couldn't use this as an

absolute but I think if if the head of

Israel says in public this is ridiculous

he's a friend of Israel that should sort

of settle it don't you

think be because who's better at

spotting

Nazis the you know the actual

head of Israel or a panelist on CNN I

don't know I think Israel's got that

down Scott Jennings warned that she went

so far that she might want to lawyer up

because it was just such um such obvious

defamation now I don't I'm no expert on

defamation but suppose she did get

sued for suggesting with her five

minutes of evidence that musk must be a

Nazi suppose he's suit her what would be

what would be the

defense she would have to she would have

to either say she wasn't trying to

suggest he's Nazi which of course was

the entire point of her you know entire

thing that would be ridiculous or she'd

have to say I'm too stupid to know it's

not true so she'd actually have to her

defense would have to be that she says

things that are not true and she knows

it and didn't mean

it like it it would be a ridiculous

defense because it's so obviously

intentional and so obvious what her

intention

is I don't know I'm not sure if the

lawsuit is is worth that but uh then

Abby Phillip who's you the host for that

same panel she's the CNN host um she

gives a musk a hard time I think

separately for saying that Germany needs

to move past their

guilt so here's how she reframed move

past your

guilt she says is forgetting the

Holocaust did did Elon Musk say we

should forget the Holocaust again he

literally just toured the Holocaust

sites with

Netanyahu who else has done that who's

actually toured the Holocaust sites with

Netanyahu that that's as far as you can

get from Forgetting the Holocaust so

this is this is

so disgustingly stupid and Petty and

weak that I'm going to guess that Abby

philli will be the next one that CNN

gets rid of because their credibility is

really tanking with it with that

particular host I mean that's just

unforgivable really

anyway Jim acosta's out as I said he's

quit CNN but at least he has that Don

Lemon career path ahead of

him what

no all right I've got a question for you

I'm going to make a

generalization I don't think the

generalization holds for every case but

it might it goes like this when a Fox

News

host uh leaves Fox News

they can get a big audience because they

were a celebrity say Tucker

Carlson um now uh Hannity is not

planning to leave but suppose he did if

hanity left Fox News tomorrow don't you

think he'd have a huge podcast he would

because he's a

star um how about geld he's not going

anywhere because he's got two his shows

on Fox news but what if he

did he he would bring with him a

gigantic audience because is a star and

you could you know Go Right Down the

Line Jesse Waters blah blah blah blah

blah stars stars stars but here here's

what I noticed this

morning the stars make Fox

News that that's what makes it the

better show yeah they also have better

producers I always say that their

production their production skills are

just amazing so good um but they have

lots of stars and and part of part of

being good at producing

is making sure you selected people with

personality and character and could be

stars but it seems to me that the CNN

hosts none of them have an audience if

they were to leave I think they would

all turn into Don Lemon and you would

find that it was CNN that made them

famous and and successful I mean if

successful is the right word whereas uh

at Fox the the talent made the network

at CNN the network

makes the talent well known it seems

opposite is is that a fair a fair

generalization might be too far but you

know there's so many obvious examples of

it anyway MSNBC Rachel Mano says that uh

they made a difficult decision for what

she calls a news

organization so she calls MSNBC her

employer a news organization

okay and uh while she's lying about it

being a news organization she says she

doesn't want them uh that the network

has decided not to air all of the Trump

speeches because of all the things he

might say that are

untrue and she said that in the context

of claiming they're a news organization

now if you were underinformative

if you look at the design of it it

doesn't look like it's designed to be

news it looks like it's designed as

propaganda that's supposed to look like

it's also news now you could argue that

maybe the some other entities are the

same but it's the one that's most

obviously not really news it's most

obviously obviously just some kind of

Intel driven government Democrat driven

propaganda machine that just happens to

be in the slight in the news

domain then over at the The View uh

Senator fedman went on The View and uh

just slapped him down on this lawfare

stuff according to Fox News uh he said

the judicial system gets weaponized and

targeted political enemies for political

gain so he was saying that the New York

charges all

34 uh 34 felony counts which is what the

Democrats like to say Federman just

swept away all 34 felony counts by

saying obviously just lawfare there's no

way they would have taken anybody else

to court for that basically just on

her head on live TV and walked

away I'm just liking Federman now some

people are saying hey you know maybe

he'll turn into a republican because

he's he's got some uh skills that seem

to go both ways but as he pointed out um

he's got a number of policies that

wouldn't be compatible

with uh Republicans so he's not going to

change but uh my my smartest Democrat

friend who I often mention I've been

wanting to catch up with him because I

thought surely by now surely by now a

normal smart person watching the news

would realize that Trump is doing what

the public wants him to do by quite a

big majority he's the most popular he's

ever been and things are happen that

looked good so I was expecting oh this

is going to be good next time I see him

oh my God or hear from him I'm going to

i g to have my Victory lap and I won't

even have to say a thing I won't even

have to make my argument I'll be just

like told you

see instead I got an email saying that

he was planning ahead to the next race

and which Democrat and he gave a list of

them which Democrat did we think was

going to be the best candidate and he

said that you know once Trump has

completely embarrassed and destroyed the

country that we'll be ready for a p

Buddha

judge and I said seriously be

Buddha that would be your strongest

guy that almost sounds like a

joke I mean really of all the people in

the

world and and then he said but maybe he

can't get elected because he's gay

and then I said well how many

Republicans were going to vote for him

it it wouldn't matter if he was gay or

not gay no Republicans going to vote for

him so aren't you saying that the

Democrats

are

anti-gay I think he just called his own

party anti-gay because all he has to do

is get all the Democrat votes right

aren't there more Democrats than oh

maybe that changed actually I don't know

that I thought there were more Democrats

than Republicans but did that change did

it change this this

season anyway but but when you when you

see that other world and you get a peek

at it you think they really don't have

anything because if a smart

well-informed person on that side and

again he's very smart if if we were to

compare IQs I think I think he'd beat me

but wow Pete Buddha judge really yeah

forget about the gay part and I don't

I've never talked to anybody who cared

about that but how can he possibly win I

don't know maybe I'm wrong could be the

I'm the one who's being

silly uh AOC was trying her best to come

up with something that she could say

that doesn't sound dumb about Trump

butth this is the best she came up with

she said the Norms are starting to

embrace Trump the Norms are embracing

him why would you form that sentence let

let me fix that sentence Trump has

popular

policies Trump is doing popular things

people like it that's the way you say

that here's the way you say it if you're

just being weird the Norms are embracing

Trump that's sort of like saying the car

ran over somebody and the knife stabbed

somebody and the the gun killed

somebody I I really think it's the

person doing the thing it's not the

thing doing the person is it did did the

Norms form into some kind of a morphous

gaseous entity and did it did it then

Embrace Trump oh the Norms are embracing

you no it's just words what the

hell the the Democrats are so lost so

lost it's just crazy the best they have

is word salad and uh I think the uh the

Nazis watch CNN believe he's a

Nazi so Trump gave a speech yesterday to

a republican group

and he was on the stage for most of the

time with h Mike Johnson and Steve

scales and I just had a moment while I

was watching

that do you realize that of those three

scalise Trump and

Johnson two out of three Republican

leaders have been

shot two out of

three of the top Republican leaders have

been shot

I

mean I like I'm my mind is

boggled like

really

shot two out of

three like I don't even have a comment

on

that but that's that's the world we live

in

God

um one of the things Trump did that is

it's it's vexing if you're a supporter

uh as I am but it's also so on point

with what what he does he starts by

teasing that you know he can't run for a

third term but you know maybe maybe he

can you know he needs to check that

out now I think he's

kidding but whether he's kidding or

not you know that that's what the the

bad guys are going to pick up on and

they're going to be running around in a

circle saying that you want a third term

I think I think he does that

intentionally right because he doesn't

have the ability to be uninteresting

Trump is genetically interesting

everything he does is a little bit

interesting and so he's just giving a

talk and he throws out the the reddest

of all red meat I might run for a third

term you know never leave

office I think he's just trolling and

and keeping them talking about the least

important thing that's you know not real

in any way but but

wow

um Trump said uh he was talking about

CNN at the same speech and Trump says uh

they say we had the greatest first week

in presidential history even CNN is

saying this guy is amazing I said did

CNN really say that but nobody watches

so nobody was able to

[Laughter]

confirm that's the trumpi thing that

anybody ever said from Trump

the trumpi thing is making fun of CNN

and then then saying the CNN

complimented him but he can't confirm it

because nobody watches

[Laughter]

CNN now that is just genuinely funny all

right there's speaking of fake news

there's a story today that's either two

separate stories or fake news or too too

complicated for us to understand so I

woke up to see that

uh the that Trump has said the US

military just entered the great state of

California and according to Trump under

emergency Powers they turned on the

water flowing abundantly from the

Pacific Northwest and Beyond the the

days of putting fake environmental

argument over people are over enjoy the

Water California all right so he's

drawing a picture where all you had to

do was send in the smart people to turn

on the spigot and then all of LA's

California water problems would be

solved so California wouldn't do it

because of some environmental thing so

we send somebody in to turn on the water

and we're all fixed now now does that

sound true to you when you read that do

you say oh yeah there's nothing else I

need to know about that story did that

did that just hit the Bull's Eye for you

all right so here's a reporter for uh I

think it's the LA uh

paper um saying that military did not

enter Cali California no I think it was

somebody from the water district or

something the military did not enter

California the federal government

restarted Federal water pumps after they

offline for maintenance for three days

state water supplies in Southern

California remain plentiful all right so

Trump says there's not enough water

California says water is

plentiful Trump says he he created whole

new flow of

water the state says no they just turned

on some things that were down for

maintenance for 3 days so basically

nothing so was it

nothing or was it

something and I still don't know but I

will refer you to a long thread on

California water situation from Joel

Pollock you can see that in my feed or

you can see it in his feed um on X and

here's the situation the the water

situation in California is complicated

it's complicated not only because

there's a whole bunch of different

aqueducts and sources and you know

different things going to different

places but there's also a history so

there's a history of what was and what

they had to change and what was an

environmental change and you know what

was the natural situation with the

weather when it rained and when it

didn't and you'd kind of have to know it

all to know what's true and what

isn't I don't know at all what I do know

is it's complicated enough that I have

no idea what happened I don't think

Trump gave California more water I don't

think that

happened but I'm just guessing because

the story is too complicated so what

will be interesting is to see how CNN

and other places uh handle it because if

this just turns into two movies where

Fox News says uh says Trump turned on

all the water and everything's fixed and

then seeing says nothing

happened we're not really going to be

well served as a public and I worry that

that's going to happen one will say it

happened and one will just say it didn't

happen and then we'll just go to the

next topic and we'll never know what

happened and we'll just keep our

individual views of that forever maybe

but uh let's talk about uh Karen Bass

the mayor of La who is getting a lot of

heat for her handling of the situation

you know what she announced today

that they would hire a

consultant to help

rebuild a

consultant do you know what that

is do you know what happens when the

mayor says we're going to hire a

consultant to make recommendations about

our gazillion dollars that it will take

to build

things I don't know how to interpret

that except that it's a crime in

progress my understanding of local

governments at least for the bigger

cities is that they're they're all

corrupt and they're corrupt in a

specific way that's easy to do and is

common to all local government which is

once you're the one who's in charge of

where the money goes or even hiring the

person who decides where the money goes

that that's always a pay for play in

other words there's some Kickback going

to the mayor every time now it might not

be obvious could be indirect could be

something that she cares about something

else but in every case I expect if the

mayor appoints the consultant who's

going to make these decisions that's

just a rigged political money-making

process that has nothing to do with

what's good for the public I thought

that when Trump was going to put a

special master in charge of you know

making sure the money from the federal

government didn't get wasted I was

hoping we would avoid exactly this Karen

bass deciding who a consultant would be

there's nothing that's a bigger red

signal basically that's saying they're

not going to fix it that's saying

they're going to steal it if if you tell

me I got a consultant to figure out how

to do it I just hear you stole it you

not even planning to do anything but

steal it and there's a lot of money

involved so of course they're going to

steal it if they can so I don't have a

specific detailed accusation about Karen

bass it's my assumption that everybody

in those jobs is Ste

and they're doing it one way or another

and it's just the most normal thing in

the world and it's why all of our cities

are crap because the people in charge

are always

stealing as far as I can

tell now you're a consultant well a

consultant for a business is very

different than a consultant to to a city

if the mayor Pi picks the consultant

that's just a gigantic signal for

something bad

if a company picks a consultant well it

just depends how good the consultant is

I me it's entirely just a you know did

you get what you paid for but the the

city stuff is just all in the context of

corruption I think that's just my belief

I don't have any proof of it but I just

assume it the reason I assume it is it's

such an easy crime to get away with that

over time the people who want to do that

crime are the people who are going to

try the hardest for those jobs

so they and they would succeed anyway

Rand Paul's going to um investigate 14

agencies that had something to do with

the co over the co origin

story so he thinks that that's a good

time to find that out uh that that Co

origin

story is just so weird because I really

thought everybody knew it was the lab

from early on and now we're pretending

like we're just learning it was the lab

there's something I don't even

understand about that I thought we all

knew that for years

weird uh meanwhile New York Magazine did

a what we call a rupar edit on their

cover so I did a story about a gathering

of young

Republicans and conservatives I guess

bunch of partying conservatives and they

commented that a photo that showed the

crowd at least a closeup of the crowd uh

didn't have any they they were all

white so New York Magazine runs a

photo and says seems like they're all

white their very own

photo had uh several black attendees

that they cropped out they literally

cropped the black people out and then

said there's no no black

people it gets

better guess who hosted guess who hosted

the

event it was hosted by CJ Pearson who is

a young black

conservative the thing was hosted by a

young well-known black guy uh and and

there were black people in attendance of

course so that's that's your media for

you meanwhile uh Robbie Starbuck is

saying that uh on X 19 attorney generals

just sent a letter to Costco warning

that Dei policies are illegal because it

discriminates on Race 19 attorney

generals just went after

Costco is that

enough what would happen if the other

attorney generals waigh in on the other

side and said oh that's not that's not

bad Dei is good because that would be

the blue States versus Red State

situation well um here's what I think so

the first thing I do is look up who is

the CEO of of Costco and it's a white

guy it's a white guy have I have I

warned you about white

guys white guys are pretty much the

source of all Dei now some some of you

can say no no it's it's white women

white women because they're the ones in

the they're more white women in Dei jobs

so you'd say it's white women to which I

say no that's a trick by the white men

that's just a white man trick they hire

women for those jobs and minorities for

those jobs so that you'll think Dei is

caused by the women or the minorities

who are in the de I jobs no it's the CEO

it's the CEO covering his big fat ass so

that you think you can give him 12

million dollar a year which Costco does

and he's a good guy if you put any white

man in that job and they're going to say

wait a minute let me see if I understand

this if I just pretend I'm really big on

Dei you're going to give me $12 million

a year yes suppose I didn't

pretend that like thei well I know it'd

be hard to hard to say that you should

be in that job

because I'm pretty sure we like that

stuff yeah so the problem is always

white men covering their ass H as I've

said before I've been deeply

discriminated against for gender and

race in my career you know first at a

bank then at the phone company and then

in TV work but every

time a white man was behind it who was

covering his own fat ass every time so

I've never been discriminated against by

anybody except white guys were

covering their ass so 19 attorney

generals just went after a white

guy covering his ass let's see who wins

I'm going to bet on the Attorneys

General well Mike Lee based Mike Lee has

a uh interesting idea to handle the

cartels have you ever heard of there's a

constitutional

um constitutional component I guess that

allows something called letters of Mark

spelled m a r quu e and these haven't

been used in a 100 years or so but what

it was is when the US government wanted

to take care of something like let's say

Pirates they didn't like Pirates they

could hire their own Pirates to kill the

other Pirates or they could hire

basically a private army they could they

could give them Authority to act on

behalf of the United States just by

being real bastards against something

that we didn't like so and the and the

people who got the letter of Mark could

keep the booty so if they took out a

pirate they could just keep it and that

would be their profet so that's why

that's why people would say yes to it so

it hasn't been used in a long time but

uh Mike Le suggesting that what if we

did use it against the cartels suppose

we said

if you wanted to form a private militia

now it would have to be it would have to

be authorized not not on your own right

you would have to go to the government

and the government would have to issue

an actual letter of Mark you know an

official act that would authorize you to

take out the cartels and keep their

money do do you think do you think uh

that there would be anybody who willing

to take that I mean you know I've never

been a special forces

person but if I were retired Special

Forces and I thought I could get a big

payday and I wasn't afraid of that kind

of

stuff I don't know I don't know it might

be able to raise private militia um I

wouldn't do this until the the normal

way of doing business failed completely

but it's kind of interesting I wouldn't

rule it out I think it's too soon to try

it because we should just do more normal

stuff first but let's

see all right well it's been 24 hours

since that deep seek AI hit hit the uh

world and yesterday the open AI stock um

or actually Nidia stock dropped about 16

17% which is really big because it's you

trillion trillions of dollar company and

people thought oh no it's the end of the

United States AI industry and I think I

told you yesterday not so fast you it'll

probably take a hit because people are

processing the news so if you're still

processing the news of this Ultra cheap

competitor and AI that comes out of

China that's actually open source it

doesn't even cost anything so

if so my caution was that it'll probably

take a hit but by the end of the year

the stock would probably recover and be

ahead of it now it looks like it flat

flattened out

today so we may have already hit the

bottom but here's what I

predicted and uh you can already see it

coming true what I predicted was is that

the

US would start seeing issues with it and

those issues would allow the government

to have cover for degrading this as a

product that can really be used so

here's what I

mean question number one how would we

know if it was trained on propaganda the

the source code is open so you can see

all the source code but the source code

doesn't tell you what it was trained on

the data that was trained on is is not

something we have access to so what if

they just trained it on a bunch of

pro-china propaganda you know plus all

the generic stuff in the world so that

it was essentially a brainwashing

tool how do we

know well the only way we' know is by

asking a questions that would get to

that very point and it turns out people

are asking that

question um and sure enough uh so Joshua

Harley was asking us some questions and

if he ask us some questions about China

that it doesn't want to answer it

actually starts to answer them and into

racism while you watch I can't talk

about that so it does know

you know some bad stuff about china such

as the Wagers let's say but and it will

start to write it and then it will

whoops which means that they've got some

kind of safety valve on there that makes

it change its mind I don't know if you

could find that safety valve in the

code where else would it be so that's an

open

question um so so we've got the issue um

and then

then Joshua Hartley also asked it if it

used any or how how it was created and

it said that it was created with these

Nvidia

gpus now that's that's deep seek itself

saying it was created using these chips

that it should not have legal access

to so the question I have is is that

real did did China really allow it to

say that it uses stolen

technology here's what I think this just

a just a

presumption what I think is that um it

could be that deep seek hallucinated the

use of those chips because that would be

a good

hallucination because if it knows that

there's no way it could be AI unless it

had had some uh some of those ships

involved wouldn't it just make the

connection on its own so so let me say

it more to the point more to the point

if what if what uh deep seek knows is

only what it was trained on why in the

world would China train it on secret

data that says they stole some gpus from

Nvidia or got them in some illicit way

how in the

world how in the world would deep sea

even have access to that to train on it

so I wonder if it if it found that in

its training and China didn't know how

to that it had to get rid of that uh or

did it just assume that there's no other

way it could exist unless some Nvidia

gpus were involved so you really can't

tell if it really thought that or it

just assumed that so that's interesting

so we don't know if it's a propaganda

machine we we can see evidence that it

it is hiding what we would think is the

truth um we don't know if it's

hallucinating

and it's it's also should be noted that

most people who use it in the long run

will use the version that's connected to

China so they can connect your they they

can collect your personal information

again now a lot of the news about deep

seek was that so exciting you could run

it on a local computer

but the local one will never be as good

as the one that's connected all the

time so we're going to get all excited

about the local one which basically will

be a toy you know just maybe another

user interface but the real one the one

people would use if they just go to

their browser because they don't want to

figure out how to load it on their

personal computer will be

connected so again it's a way for China

to collect all kinds of information on

its

users so the that and then we find out

that there's this huge Cyber attack on

deep

seek now who would do that who would do

a major Cyber attack on deep sea well

first of all they'd have to have a lot

of skill let's say could it be China

well no it's it's China's product so

they wouldn't attack it could it be

Russia no it doesn't seem like something

Russia would do why would they Iran no

Israel no

Europe no they don't they're barely in

AI so who who would do such a

thing I I can only think of us if it's

not the United States it should be

because if it's true that our biggest AI

companies are and it looks like it's

confirmed are going to be in bed with

the CIA the CIA can't let China destroy

the AI industry in the United

States there 's probably no limit to

what the CIA would do to make sure that

the US is dominant in AI so the first

thing the CIA would do if they're doing

their job and if they're you know in bed

with AI is they would look to destroy

deep seek so if I had to guess who's

doing a major Cyber

attack probably

us I mean can you come up with a better

idea do you think the Sri Lankans just

decided to go to

war like who else would it be

Africa what Greenland Greenland decided

to kind of assert itself I mean honestly

who else would it be now I guess you

could say well it could be

individuals

really maybe but why would the

individuals want to take out this great

free new product I don't know sounds

like us

so as you know there's an ACC accusation

that The Whistleblower for open AI was

murdered now if it's true that

controlling AI in the world is an

existential most important thing for our

country and it might be might be the

most important

thing would the CIA kill an American

citizen to guarantee American

dominance probably yes that doesn't mean

they did but wouldn't that be sort of on

point

killing one person to save the country

again not saying that they

did but I kind of feel like that's their

job I hate to say it if they're trying

to keep the country

safe and The Whistleblower would have

taken down our most important AI

asset it feels like we would have killed

them we meaning somebody associated with

our government and the same with deep

seek so what I expect and what I

predicted is that our government will

try to degrade access to or even the

product itself so I think we will

probably see a massive campaign to say

it's too dangerous like Tik Tok or

something and somehow it will be banned

eventually unless unless we just out

compete it which is also possible we

might just out compete it so grock 3 is

launching this week which is 10 times

the computing power and pretty soon

voice mode is coming so you can talk to

grock and grock's got the I think the

most impressive uh data center which

should give it either now or soon the

most impressive AI so I feel like even

if AI is free like you can get a free uh

deep seek I'm still going to take the

one that's

better if it's you know say $20 a

month I think I'm always going to want

the one that's better

so we'll see I think America is going to

be way more competitive than we thought

for 24 hours when that free one dropped

deportations up to 12200 uh on Sunday

and so the I guess Trump wanted that

number to get up it was only it was only

in the lower hundreds for a few days um

but only 600 people crossed illegally on

Sunday that's like a that's a

ridiculously low number now turns out

that closing the Border wasn't that hard

just like Trump

said Wall Street Journal is reporting

that uh the Trump justice department uh

fired more than a dozen lawyers that

were working with Jack Smiths to

prosecutions of the president now I'm

completely in favor of that I I think

that if you were a prosecutor and you

willingly take an

assignment that is clearly lawfare

and the person you're trying to laware

gets into office you're

fired you're very fired and that's the

way it should be because if you're going

to cross that line and lawfare somebody

because you can when they get in power

they're going to fire your ass and I am

so on board for that because that's what

we need that's good for the country it's

good for the country that the bad guys

know that there's a price and the price

is their jobs and if you want if if you

want to think oh I'm just being a lawyer

just doing what I'm told no you better

think about it next time you better

think it through because Trump's coming

for you if you came for him and I'm I'm

absolutely on board with that you got to

rebalance the power structure you got to

make sure there's a deterrent for bad

behavior uh Invidia is up to an half

percent yeah so so I think that might

have been a one- day Scare and a lot of

people are trying to get into Nvidia at

a good entry price so I think there were

I think there was a ton of money on the

side Sidelines thinking well I kind of

want to own

Nvidia but it seems to just go up too

much every day and I haven't bought it

yet and then it looks like it's a good

price

so all right so you might know that uh

Scott bessent got confirmed so he's

going to be the treasury

secretary and uh he's helping Trump push

the idea of tariffs as opposed to income

tax now I wanted to run some numbers so

I used perplexity AI which got different

numbers than so I'll tell you both

um so I thought to myself is that really

something that could happen like how

much do we collect in

taxes or how much is the budget I guess

how much is the

budget and

then how much would we have to charge in

tariffs to replace all of our income tax

and and so I did a quick calculation and

it looks like if Trump put a 20% tariff

on every single thing that comes into

the country it would be 5 to 10% of what

we need to cover the

budget 20% tariff on every single import

every single one would only be 5 to 10%

of what we need to cover the current

budget now the current budget is

probably twice what it should be I'm not

sure we can ever reduce that but let's

say that goes down 30% you know let's

say doge is just wildly successful

you're still not even close so I don't

really

understand uh the whole tariff instead

of income tax is that is that really

based on Something

Real the numbers don't look like they

could possibly add up but I I would like

to be corrected about that so if I'm

wrong about that you let me know

um the good news about tariffs is it LO

it encourages local production because

it would give therefore it would give a

some cost advantages to doing things

locally um so that's good but I don't

think that that's enough of a boost to

make it make sense what might make sense

is uh tariffs at the same time as other

things uh according to uh Ann

uh garelli for the Washington

examiner uh there are two law

enforcement officers who have said that

the Mexican

cartel uh has put a green light to open

fire on US Federal enforcement at the

border do you believe

that um I'm not sure I could totally

trust you know some law enforcement

people who said they heard it so I don't

know if they have good sources but do

you believe the

cartel just said it's War just open

fire we're going to have to wait and see

it doesn't feel like the right play you

know as much as you want to hate the

cartels they do act like a well oiled

machine

unfortunately and would it make sense

for them to escalate before they had to

seems like they should try to avoid all

contact with the US Military

uh for as long as

possible to to May because maybe then

the American political system will talk

you know talk us out of doing it so I

don't know if I believe that but we're

going to find out there there were some

uh shots exchanged just yesterday I

think but that might have been a one-off

we'll

see yeah sound like

BS all right yeah if you say it's BS

there's a lag in the comments so you're

going to have to tell me the topic so I

know which one of which one of my topics

is

BS so Nidia chips in the research paper

deep seeks engineers said they used the

older chips not the best ones and 2,000

of them all

right all right so ladies and

gentlemen that's what I had for to

today's topic is there anything I missed

I thought I'd Zoom through it and get

back get you back to

work all right uh I'm going to talk to

the uh locals people privately for a few

minutes

subscription uh the the people who are

behind the subscription pay wall

and uh I'm going to change all this soon

okay and we'll do the closing zip as

soon as uh I've hit the willbe private

button takes about 30 seconds if you're

on uh YouTube or X or Rumble thanks for

joining I'm going private with just the

locals people now and I'll see you

tomorrow
