Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, Skull Coffee with Scott Adams. And wow, do we have a lot to cover today. 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 coffee mug or a glass or a tankard or a canteen or a jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like the coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.
It's the elixir of the gods.
I wonder if there are any new stories about the benefits of drinking coffee. Checking notes: yes there is. According to a story, Ellen Jen writes that drinking one extra cup of sugar-free coffee a day is linked to weight loss. I believe that. I'm only a few cups away from disappearing totally. If there's less of you the more you drink coffee, I'm about ready to disappear. So that's how I'm going to go, just drink coffee until I don't exist.
If you're following the Dilbert comic that you can only watch if you're on the Locals platform, but there's a lot of political stuff on there. If you don't want that, that's not for you. But if you just want to see the comic that has continued since my cancellation two years ago, it's called Dilbert Reborn and you can get it on the X platform. Just hit the subscription button.
And here's what you would be finding. You would find that the new comic will tell you the problem with hiring the low bid hitman. So Dogbert is in the role of a hitman and you see what happens when you take the low bid for your hitman. It doesn't go well.
But here's the more interesting thing. I also publish whatever comic ran exactly 10 years ago from whatever date today is. So the comics that ran exactly 10 years ago are so on point for right now. It's about humanoid robots being introduced into Dilbert's house and you know what goes wrong. And oh my god, did I call it 10 years ago? You have to see it to see how on point it is for today anyway. So go take a look at that.
In other news, well we'll get to the hard news in a minute. I like to ease you into it with some lesser hard news.
So apparently Ye is making a buzz on social media. I think he's got a new album out and he's apparently off his meds. And I'm not going to tell you any of the things that he said in all caps shouting like crazy on X. But let me tell you, it looks like he's off his meds. It's just absolute mental illness. There's no other way to look at it. He says he's off his meds, by the way. He thinks he was misdiagnosed as bipolar so now he thinks he's autistic. He is not autistic. I'm pretty sure that's not right, but I don't know. We'll see.
In other news, simulation alert! Simulation alert! Simulation alert everybody! Simulation alert!
Here's how you know you live in a simulation. The confirmation vote for the new budget chief. Democrats try to delay it. They try to delay the vote for somebody named Russ Vought. That's right, his name sounds like "Rush the vote." And they delayed the vote for Russ Vought. That's all. That's the whole story. Simulation alert.
Meanwhile, there's a Michigan Democrat state legislator who decided to announce that she's going to sterilize herself, actually already has, to avoid giving birth in Donald Trump's America, according to the Gateway Pundit, Colleen Lineberger.
So I would regard this as a combination of mental illness and probably something she wanted to do anyway that had nothing to do with anything. She's 36, hasn't had a kid. I guess you know how much sex she was having, but she won't be having any extra Democrats.
The most important story of the entire year: one of the DOGE team members used to go by a secret name online, Big Balls. And Big Balls said some pretty inappropriate things. Yeah, pretty inappropriate. And once that all came out, you would be surprised to hear there's somebody who was once working for USAID but now works for the Wall Street Journal who outed that DOGE person. Huh. Feels like everything's coming together and now we understand. Every time you hear that somebody like Liz Cheney or AOC were birthed by the USAID funding, you have to say to yourself, is this really describing the entire structure we see? That all the people that we know to be turds came from the same place. That would be kind of a big coincidence.
Anyway, so the best part is that CNN did a part in this in which Aaron Burnett and Kara Swisher were talking about it. Because you just can't have somebody working on your team named Big Balls who once said offensive things online under a pseudonym. Anyway, what's the point of having a pseudonym if you can't be anonymous?
But here's the best part. I believe that the media thought that they would hurt Musk and his effort by giving a lot of attention to Big Balls. And I don't think they know much about Elon Musk because Big Balls is the funniest thing you could possibly do. And the more you talk about it on CNN, the happier I am. I think you should do the whole segment on Big Balls. There should be more of a special. I'd like to see them delve deeper into it.
But here's the thing. And I love the fact that they thought they were defeating the monster. You know, they would think that Elon Musk is the monster. And so the way they thought they would defeat him is talking about Big Balls. That's really feeding the monster. I mean, if you're really afraid of him, don't feed him stories about Big Balls. He's going to be dining on that all day, so to speak.
So there's one thing missing with this story and I think you can all tell what's missing. You know what's missing, right? It doesn't have a clever name yet. So we need to have some kind of a name to talk about this scandal about the Big Balls. I'm going to go first. I'm going to call it Scrotum Gate. Scrotum Gate, everybody. Do you like that? So whenever we talk about it, it'll just be Scrotum Gate.
Now Elon is running a poll on X to see if he should bring him back. By the way, Big Balls quit once the news got out and I can understand that. But Elon wants to bring him back. Now here's my take. If somebody who is a teenager or 19 years old said something that we all agree is absolutely inappropriate but did it anonymously, I don't have a problem with it. Because every 19-year-old boy is saying deeply inappropriate things all the time. And if he was doing it anonymously, he knew that it was not something that you could put in the public domain. Somebody else put it in the public domain. So my problem is not with anything he said, because I just can't blame a 19-year-old for having inappropriate thoughts, especially a man, a 19-year-old male. It's all we have is inappropriate thoughts. Do you understand what a 19-year-old male is? That is a person who is non-stop inappropriate thoughts. That's all we do at that age. Do we grow out of it? Sometimes. Sometimes not all the time.
Anyway, Big Balls might be back, but we'll keep an eye on Scrotum Gate.
Fox News says that a big consulting firm, PwC, they're going to have a big conference this summer trying to get high-performing college students an opportunity to work for their company. Oh that's good. Yeah, big consulting company wants to make sure that the high-performing students get to check out their job offerings. Oh wait, it specifically excludes white and Asian applicants. So it's a DEI policy or something like it. So apparently not everybody got the memo that if you openly discriminate against white and Asian applicants, it's not going to end well. It might not go your way in the long run. So maybe rethink breaking the law.
All right, I got to look at this comment because it looks interesting. Ron Paul says on X, look behind the curtain has revealed a horrific truth. Nearly the entire mainstream media worldwide has been funded by the US government under the USAID. From the BBC to the New York Times and Politico. At this point it might be easier to find out who USAID does not fund. Well that does seem approximately true.
And I saw a video online. I couldn't tell if it's a new one or an old one. I think it's an old one, so you tell me. It was Pam Bondi talking about how many times Bill Clinton had been on the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently he hadn't been on the plane just a couple of times. He'd been on there multiple times and traveled internationally with Epstein. And that plane had a bed in it. That's all you need to know. And apparently they stayed friends for years, whereas Trump removed him from his life fairly early on. So is that a new clip or an old one? What's all the 27s?
All right, so that's out there.
So Trump has tried to fire the Federal Election Commission commissioner Ellen Weintraub, but she says it's illegal and the president can't fire her. We'll see. But she was appointed by Bush and apparently they can only be replaced if they resign or their term expires. Wait, let me read that again. According to legal experts, an FEC commissioner can only be replaced if they resign or their term expires. Wait, what? Who the hell has a job that they can't be fired from? Who the hell has a job that they can't be fired from unless you're elected? And even if you're elected, you can be fired. You know, it's got to be an impeachment, but there's a process. Are you telling me that there's somebody in our government who's in charge of the elections who can't be fired? Are you serious? I hope I'm reading this wrong. Do I have this wrong? The most important person, the head of the spear for our entire democracy, can't be fired? Oh my God. You think that the well of corruption and badness is deep? I've never seen anything like that. Have you? Have you ever heard of somebody who can't be fired for any reason? That can't be right. There must be. Everybody can be fired for cause, right? But apparently not, according to legal experts. Wow.
The Daily Mail has a story that looks fake to me. They're saying that there's unconfirmed plans that Trump's trying to end the Ukraine war in 100 days and that he wants to get a ceasefire by April 20th. And that the deal would freeze Russia's place. They get to keep what they have. Ukraine would not join NATO. And that would be the deal. Now I guess this comes from a sketchy source and then the Daily Mail picked it up. So it's two sketchy sources. The Daily Mail is not full propaganda but it's not right 100% of the time either, you know, like most things. So I don't think this is anything but maybe a test balloon. My best guess is that it's a way for the government to float an idea to see what people think of it. So as an idea, floating a test balloon is a good one, but I don't think it's a real story. Feels like just testing out the water. We'll see.
So Senator Fetterman has weighed in on the RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard nominations and he will not vote for them. So he will not vote for either Gabbard or Kennedy. Now we don't absolutely need his vote because Republicans can get it through if they're all together. But I was amused by Nicole Shanahan's reply to the X post about this. I'll just paraphrase. She said it better but you know, here's just my summary. Fetterman is a slob who wears gym clothes and doesn't go to the gym. He's a slob who wears gym clothes all day and doesn't go to the gym. In other words, health is not high on his list.
All right, so here's somebody who apparently doesn't have any appreciation for good human health or he would act like it. He'd go to the gym, he'd lose weight. He acts like he has no appreciation for the biggest issue in the whole country, which is our kids have chronic diseases and they'll have no good life. That's a pretty big problem and he's against it.
Separately, Fetterman also said that he thought the Democrats don't have much chance of winning men back because he said he's been warning about it and that the Democrats have become sort of the party of whiny women. And that not only were white males leaving the Democrat Party but black men, Hispanic men. And it's pretty broad and obvious change. But the interesting thing is he thinks they can't get it back, meaning that Fetterman believes he is in the party that's anti-men. That would be according to all the men who changed sides because they want to be on the side that's not anti-men. DEI is anti-men.
What do we got here? Okay, so Ellen Weintraub, the head of the FEC that Trump is trying to get rid of, she once was in private practice at Perkins Coie. So if you understand Perkins Coie, that's like the heart of the Democrat legal dirty tricks. Well, I won't call them that. I'll just say they're the legal arm of the Democrats where much has been done the Republicans don't like. So we can see why Trump's getting rid of her. It makes sense.
But let me close on the Fetterman. So Fetterman knows that he's on the anti-male team and he stays there. Now if he tried to become a Republican, I'm sorry, that door is very closed right now. You're not going to become a Republican if you're turning down Kennedy. You're dead. I mean not physically dead. You're done as a political entity that anybody on the Republican side's going to care about. So you're a piece of shit from my perspective and you should expect that. Scott Pressler is coming for your job. Not to take the job but to make sure that there are more Republicans registered in Pennsylvania. And he said so, by the way. I'm not speculating. Scott Pressler, Nicole Shanahan, they're going to take him out. And I don't know if that means he'll be primaried, but that's what Nicole Shanahan promised, that she'd be primarying people who go the wrong direction on the Kennedy vote. And Scott Pressler says it directly, you know, we're coming after you basically. So Fetterman, I think his political fortunes are now over because he just made an unrecoverable error.
Allegedly, according to Wired, Elon Musk's DOGE is working on a chatbot. So they're going to create a chatbot called GS allegedly. And it would be part of, you know, maybe some of it would be to analyze the complexities that DOGE is looking into. But some of it would be maybe a replacement for some of the functions of the government. You know, if you had a really good AI, it could do a lot of stuff.
Now I'm a skeptic because my own experience with trying to create an AI agent, even though it was last summer and a lot has changed, I don't believe AI can do that. I don't believe AI can create an agent that can do general stuff that a human could do. I don't think it's anywhere near it. So the AI is super smart but when you try to get it to do the job of a person, it's, you know, it hallucinates and it's hard to know when it's going to do it. They can't look up data reliably. So the only way it would work is if it's sort of an interface layer but all of the real important work is just regular programming. You know, just it initiates something that looks into a database. That's not AI. So if it's the interface for things that are not AI, it could be great.
So I don't want to judge. I obviously let me just say the obvious. The people who are working on this know a lot more than I do about AI. So if they think it can work, you would be kind of dumb for me to bet against it. But from my understanding it can't work unless it's just an interface to regular programming. We'll see. Someday it will work. I don't think it's there yet.
All right, you know we're going to talk about USAID. I got more to say about that. But Thomas Massie says, now if you're brand new I'll just give you the quick update. USAID is a 50 billion dollar whatever funded entity within the government that does things for the State Department, sometimes the CIA, sometimes the Pentagon. This is the Mike Benz explanation of the world. And it's been basically gutted by DOGE for all the alleged waste and, you know, fraud. The waste would be funding things that are not good for anybody. That would be the claim.
But Thomas Massie says I'm concerned that the House and Senate will fully fund USAID in March just like we did in December, although he voted against it. He said the argument from Republican leadership will be that they need Democrat votes to pass the omnibus to avoid a government shutdown. Oh my God, I hate how right he is. So Massie is pretty good at seeing around corners and telling you what's coming. How do we beat that? Because the whole omnibus thing is essentially a criminal process. It's a criminal process because it allows the people of Congress to not do their job and get tons of money for things that will help them get reelected. I don't know if it's illegal but certainly in intention and in a de facto way it's just criminal.
The omnibus is when they put all the spending in one big thing and you could just say yes or no. But they put all kinds of crap in there and then they say well if you say no to the crap you're the one who shut down the government and children will die, which is an exaggeration. So yeah, we have a system that guarantees that USAID will be fully funded. Think about that. We just nuked it and the corrupt government is so advanced at this point it's evolved almost to its own creature. The corruption is self-healing. We have a self-healing corruption designed machine. If you take out the heart of the machine, USAID, that might be the most important beating organ in the whole machine, completely removed. And in one month it could be reinstated because it's a self-healing corrupt system. And they'll just use the omnibus as the argument for why it must be refunded.
Now if it's not done with the omnibus, and I don't know what would stop it, they could do the same thing with onesies and twosies. Well but this one's important. Well you cut all the funding but this one's important. And just try to wear down Marco Rubio and the State Department which absorbed the USAID function.
So let me tell you, if you think USAID is defeated, not even close. We're not even close to defeating it. It's sort of like the Terminator. You know, okay good news we shot the Terminator. Uh oh, he's reforming. He's self-healing. So it's coming for you.
Did you know according to Leslie Kimovitz, I don't know if this is a good source or not but it's a good example of the kind of news I'm seeing on social media. I'll give you the following warning. There will be claims about USAID funding that are not true. Trump just reversed the Biden decision on plastic straws. We're getting our plastic straws back. Yes, USAID's coming back but so are plastic straws. So it's a tie.
All right, so according to Leslie Kimovitz, and remember the umbrella for this story and a lot of others is they might not be true. There are going to be a whole bunch of claims about USAID funding that if you looked into it, it might mean not exactly what the claim is but could be close. But the claim is that USAID in 2016 gave $310 million of taxpayer money to a Palestinian cement factory. Well now on the surface you'd say to yourself, well if you're going to have a modern country and you're going to develop, you're going to need some cement. So maybe we funded one of the main things they needed to rebuild, this good quality local cement. I wonder where the cement went. Well maybe some of it went for factories to build some factories, maybe some housing. But maybe it's how they built their Hamas tunnels.
So the real concern is that no matter what our intentions were, it may have been just siphoned off and taken to build, not siphoned off but they would have actually built the cement plant but the cement plant may have been allegedly some part of the tunnel building. $310 million. Do you think we got our money's worth there? I don't know. That one feels a little too on the nose, doesn't it? Remember I tell you the one way to spot fake news quickly is it's too perfect. What would be the most perfect story somebody could make up about USAID? The most perfect story would be it built the Hamas tunnels. Now it might have. I'm not saying it didn't happen. I'm saying oh boy is that one right on the nose. So if you have to bet on it, I don't know if it's a safe bet. It's a little too clean. So just beware that when you hear these stories that are a little too perfect, there may be a reason they're too perfect. But they also might be true. So it's hard to say.
Yesterday I posted on X that it seems to me that maybe we could close the entire budget gap, the deficit, the entire thing just by getting rid of fraud. And that's a big claim, right? Because we're talking about $2 trillion. So I honestly think that if we got rid of all fraud in all forms of the government from military to Medicare fraud to everything else, we might close the entire gap. And I thought, well you know it just is how it feels. It's not really, I haven't done the math. But Elon Musk saw that comment that I made and he modified it in the comments. He said that maybe getting rid of fraud would close one half to one third of the deficit. One half of the deficit is a trillion dollars. A trillion dollars per year, not a trillion dollars over many years, one year. Now that's the person who's looked into it the closest. He knows more than any of us now about what he's found and maybe even what he's likely to find. He thinks there'd be a trillion dollars of something that we might call waste or fraud. I think that's right. I think it's a trillion at least. You know I thought it was two but I'm going to go with his estimate because he's closer to it.
Here are some examples. Jesse Watters had a good rundown on some of the examples of things that USAID was doing. Now here's the problem and I'll get into this in more detail. The fake news, the corporate news is reporting that USAID is a charitable organization doing all kinds of good things all over the world. And that defunding it means that people will die by the millions. So people will die.
So when Jesse and other people give the list of the fake looking wastes of money, and I'm going to list them in a moment, you might say to yourself, oh if we get rid of the fake ones then all we'll have left is the real charity and maybe the real charity makes sense. Some people would say now the fake news is covering this like it's a charity being removed story. The real news, the MAGA Republican version of what's happening is that USAID has always been a fake organization that is designed to overthrow other countries and also control the United States. So those are completely different stories.
But here's what's interesting. The fake news is pretending like there's only one version of the narrative. They're not even telling you that the other narrative is wrong. They're just ignoring it. What's that tell you? If they told you that the narrative that it's a CIA front, if they told you that was not true and they said why and they showed their work, well then maybe you could compare their version with what other sources are saying and maybe make up your own mind. But they're acting like there's only one narrative. They're actually ignoring the main claim. And the main claim is the biggest scandal in American history. You know, maybe since I don't know, maybe since slavery. But it's the biggest story I've ever seen since I've been alive. Would you agree? I mean wars are big in their own way so you know you can't ignore wars. But in terms of a scandal this is the biggest one I've ever seen by a thousand. This is not even close to anything I've ever seen. This is enormous. That's one narrative. Why can they ignore what half of the country thinks is true and is digging into the details of it and completely coming up to speed? They're just ignoring it. Now that tells you that they're fake news. So if you're wondering are they fake news? Yes, turns out they are.
Here are some of the things Jesse Watters says they funded. $6 million for tourism in Egypt because Egypt certainly couldn't do any tourism without an extra $6 million. You know as Jesse points out they have pyramids. They have pyramids. You'd be lucky if you could stop people from going there. I mean you'd have to close the border to stop all the people who want to go in there to look at the pyramids. The one thing they don't need is some help with a tourist destination because again they've got pyramids. They have pyramids.
All right, $2 million to help the British Broadcasting Company value the diversity of Libyan society. I didn't make that up. We're paying the BBC, British entity, how to value the diversity of Libyan society. Now that can't be real. How is that real?
$1 million for a gay group in Armenia. What? $20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street. Okay. $2 million for trans surgeries in Guatemala. $235 million to the National Democratic Institute. Well that sounds fine, right? We like democracy and it sounds like that's what they're working on. It's right in the name. So $235 million. But a lot of that money went to executive compensation. So the real meaning of all this funding is everything about the government funding seems to be a way for Democrats to get a payday. And some anti-Trump Republicans, they all seem to have one foot in some form of either USAID or somebody that USAID funds or something.
Also an NGO. I saw an estimate from Alex Jones that there are 1.5 million NGOs but 1.1 million of them are left leaning. Is that possible? Somebody in the comments said 55,000 at the very least. There are thousands, thousands of these entities that get funded by our government, your taxpayers, your tax money. And it seems to be mostly for controlling America, controlling other countries, and for people to get paychecks so that they can get this easy funding from your money. Basically it's just a transfer of wealth to Democrats, the wealthy Democrats. It's not even the poor Democrats. That's what it looks like.
Well according to Grok, and I should warn you that all of the AIs are not up to date on this story. They're up to date on what people are saying but your AIs are going to tell you there's no evidence that the CIA has anything to do with USAID. That's what your AI will tell you. But Grok tells me that all the spending of USAID is transparent. It's transparent so everybody could have always seen it. And that the GAO, Government Accounting Office, can audit it. So don't worry about the spending being wrong because you can see it. It's transparent. You know the names of the places it's going to and you also know that there's an auditing function so it could get audited by the government to make sure they're not doing anything wrong. So you good with that?
I hope you're good with it because I'm starting an NGO. So the name of my NGO is going to be called America Doing Awesome Things for Gay Climate Scientists and Democracy. Now that sounds like a joke but it's not very far from the name of the other NGOs. So the first thing you do is put a name on your NGO and a primary purpose that looks like it's good and then you hide behind that goodness and do all your evil behind it. Because you can get your paycheck, you can do your influence peddling. But as long as people come after you. So if you come after me after I get funded from my America Doing Awesome Things for Gay Climate Scientists and Democracy, I'm going to say whoa, look who's coming after me. Apparently you don't like gay people. You're a bigot. And you're anti-science because why else would you be coming after me for trying to fund climate scientists? So you're anti-scientist. You're anti-gay. You're opposed to democracy. I mean all those things are right in the title of my NGO. So clearly I'm doing good work and you're some kind of a bigoted piece of crap science denier. Get out of here. Get out of here. And I'm going to tell all the other Democrats to stay away from you. God you're such a terrible person. You're awful. How could you even come after me when I'm so virtuous? Just look at the name of my NGO. It's right there in the name.
All right, so there's that.
Also according to the Washington Examiner, taxpayers also funded Chinese research. Representative Claudia Tenney, Republican, she's got a bill she's introduced to stop funding our adversaries. Now you would think that's something we weren't doing. Your common sense would say we're not funding any adversaries. What are you talking about? How could it possibly be true that we're funding adversaries? But between 2015 and 2021 the US provided $29 million directly to Chinese entities for research and development. I think that included Wuhan. These are real things I think. Now remember the umbrella caution. There are going to be claims that aren't true and I'm not sure I'll know which ones are not true. But the general thrust of it is still the same. Directionally these are largely fake things.
Now is it true that it also does good things such as helping countries battle AIDS? Yes, that's called a cover. The reason that they do good things is so you can't pull their funding. If they're doing good things, the government, let's say the foreign government that allows USAID funded things in, probably can't handle the problems themselves such as an AIDS epidemic or any other major problem that a smaller country can't handle. We come in and say we can handle that. And the government says well we can't do it ourselves and it is destroying our country so yeah come on in. And then you can't kill it because if you try to kill the funding you're going to say that you killed people with AIDS.
Elon Musk just posted "I love Donald Trump as much as a straight man can love another man." Oh God, he likes causing trouble.
All right, so let's see what else is. So CNN says the concern about these big government payouts to media organizations such as Politico are fake. So no, the media is telling you that if you think the media is taking money to change the reporting, that's fake, people. That's just fake. And the example they give is that Politico which has two I think two main businesses. One is Politico the publication but another one is a very expensive subscription thing that has extra data and things that are not in their public political thing. And the claim was that $8 million flowed into the pro part of the Politico, not the publication. And that it came from not just USAID but maybe a bunch of entities that are also NGOs and kind of operate the same.
So do you think that $8 million of subscriptions, do you think that was an appropriate expense for all kinds of different parts of the government? They all needed a subscription to this thing. Does that sound real to you? Now Politico is trying to make the distinction that buying a bunch of subscriptions to one part of their business has no influence on their coverage in the other part of the business. That's for the stupid people.
Let me tell you how you can bribe people. Oh how many lines of business do you have? Two? Well we'd like to influence one of those lines of business. Okay great, we'll give you millions of dollars if you'll do with that line of business what we want you to. Excellent, you got a deal. But can you do us a favor? Don't write the checks to something that looks like that line of business that you want us to influence. Instead could you write it to the other line of business so it looks like you're just buying a regular product like anybody would? So I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm just saying that's exactly what it looks like happened. There's no such thing as people are uninfluenced by money. Millions of dollars? Yeah, no influence at all. Millions of dollars. Nobody believes that.
And as I read, Ron Paul thinks that basically all of the media is influenced by government spending that's channeled through this and that so it gets there. Well maybe.
Brian Stelter called the claim that Politico is receiving government subsidies "quote rampant right-wing misinformation." Well technically he's correct. Here's what he didn't say but the parent company of Politico is making millions of dollars and it doesn't seem like that number could be supported by the fact that people like subscriptions to your pro service. That would be the better frame.
All right, if you're getting lost in all this stuff because the DOGE thing is getting complicated, I would recommend that you listen to the explainers. One difference from 2016 till now is that the right-leaning part of the world has developed these incredible explainers. People who simply know enough that they can tell you what's really happening that's different from what the news is telling you. So some of them of course Mike Benz is the tip of the spear on this particular topic. But I would listen to Mike Cernovich who digs into it deeper than most and explains it better. Glenn Greenwald, Bret Weinstein. And look at podcasts not the news. The podcasts are where you get closest to the truth in this case. And the good explainers are the ones that can help you. So the bad explainers aren't going to give you anything. You got to listen to the good explainers that I just listed.
So here's an example. Bret Weinstein on Joe Rogan. I'm going to read the whole thing. I just like the way he said it. He said quote "As I was watching the confirmation hearings my sense was that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were dinosaurs who do not understand that the Earth has just been hit from outer space and that they don't live in the world that they're used to. That their corruption was immediately apparent and they're not used to that. They're used to having a whole phony journalistic layer that covers for them and that layer is gone. And the American public is awake and they're angry and rightfully so." And now look at Bernie Sanders and you see the same guy going after Bobby Kennedy like dude I just went through COVID. I see Bernie Sanders and I see him reading from a script that is no longer relevant to the movie that we're watching.
That's a good description. Yes, if you look at the politicians that are prairie dogging, the ones who've decided that they're going to be really noisy about USAID being cut and about the DOGE, those are all the corrupt ones. By accident. This wasn't what anybody was trying to do but by accident by poking the right part of the government it revealed all of the turds. Everybody who is corrupt in my opinion, this is just an opinion, they're the ones that are the loudest. If you see Jamie Raskin and Schumer and Warren and Sanders and you know Adam Schiff, those are all the designated liars. They're the ones who specifically come out when they're selling. They don't bring them out when the truth can handle itself. If the problem is the truth then the news can handle it. The news will just say fact check, this is true. But when the news can't handle it because it's such a big lie that even the news can't go there, they bring out the same cast of characters. Yeah, and Letitia James is obviously part of the corruption. She's the lawfare queen. So that's the world we're living in.
So this is from Mike Cernovich who was on Jesse Kelly's show and he said that USAID funds diversity. The money hits a nonprofit so diversity. Everybody loves that right? So you fund the diversity so that you've got a cover. And then the money hits the nonprofit that's going to do something for diversity and some lib in DC pays herself or himself half a million dollars. Power couples are pulling in millions of dollars per year stealing from you. I believe that is a perfect explanation of some large part of what's happening. That Democrats have figured out wait a minute if 98% of the people in USAID are Democrats and I'm a Democrat and they've got all this money and they give it out to all kinds of sketchy people all the time for sketchy reasons, all I need is to say I'm going to do something that sounds important like fix diversity. Then what are they going to do? If you're USAID and somebody says I'm going to work on diversity, don't you say oh yeah good good let's do that.
So it basically turns out a lot of this is I think literally just a scam. It's hard to know because there might be some legitimate ones that got in the mix but it does look like mostly it's designed as a scam. At least that's the way it operates. It's a de facto criminal enterprise. De facto might not actually be illegal.
Marco Rubio now ahead of a State Department where USAID got rolled in. So after it got gutted what's left of it got rolled under the State Department. So Rubio is in charge of that and he's going to reduce the staff of USAID from about 10,000 to 294 which is probably about 200 people too many but you know I'll take what I can get.
So this is very Musk-like. It just feels like a lot of what he did with Twitter. You know your common sense which wouldn't work in this case told you okay Twitter might have 20% more people than they need. Nope they had 90% more people than they needed. Well probably maybe 80 or 75% and that was the right number because X has apparently turned cash positive. Can you believe that? I think that's true. I'll take a fact check on that but I saw this morning just in passing somebody said that X is now beyond break even, that they're cash positive. Is that still true? I hope so.
Anyway, so Mike Benz is now being attacked by the same media that may be benefiting from these corrupt payments from USAID and similar NGOs. So would you be surprised to know that the Washington Post not only went after that DOGE guy but he already did a hit piece on Mike Benz and he says that a whole bunch of the media has contacted him asking him to comment because they're also working on hit pieces apparently.
It took him a while. Were you all wondering why hasn't Mike Benz been taken out by the deep state yet? I hate to say it but I've been wondering that for a long time. And the only thing I could think of is that he had not penetrated the bubble yet. Meaning that as long as they had a good bubble so that nobody in their base ever heard any Mike Benz argument. And by the way I tested this with my smartest Democrat friend a while back. I said all right just do me a favor just listen to one person. Just listen to Mike Benz. Figure out what he's saying about things and then you'll finally maybe catch up to a big part of what the political right knows. And my friend looked at one of his videos, dismissed it as I don't know a troll or something and would never look at another one. So that's probably what happened with any other Democrat who tried looking at it. The Mike Benz view of reality is so disturbing that if you're not already leaning in that direction it'll just make your head explode and your brain won't be able to process how completely wrong your impression of the world you live in has been.
Here's the most provocative thing that Benz said just on a podcast I think yesterday. He said there's no such thing as domestic policy. Just listen to that. There's no such thing as domestic policy. Everything that you think is domestic policy is fake. Meaning that is designed to control other countries or to control our own country to keep a populist scent of office. Now when I heard that my first thought was well that's not true because you know what about our emphasis on the government has on DEI? You know before Trump. And now we know that DEI is what we introduced to a country we're trying to destabilize. Because if you can get them to really be mad about racial division which is what DEI gets you, you can weaponize them and put them on the streets and have them rebel against their government.
But what about climate change? I mean that's obviously domestic policy. We want to save our lives and make sure we're doing the right thing, right? Well except that one of the ways you destabilize another country is to inject climate change into that other country. Say it's the most important thing and if the leaders aren't working on it well they got to be replaced. And so it goes that everything you think was a domestic policy is really a way to make sure that populists like Trump don't get power because the populist will rip into all that stuff.
What about trans rights? Were you all confused about why trans rights suddenly became the only thing we were talking about for a long time? Like how is that even possible? Like even if you agree or disagree with any of the topics on the trans stuff, nobody thought it should have been the top national talking point. That can't be natural. Do you know what we do when we try to destabilize other countries? We fund pro-trans things in those countries because the trans people can get the LGBTQs on board and suddenly they all hate their leadership. Now doesn't this sound exactly like what's happening in this country? It does.
So let's talk more about that. So I spent some time this morning so that you didn't need to on Grok. So Grok is the AI I used and I said to myself I want to use the most unbiased one because I'm going to ask some questions that I know will be censored on the other ones. So this is what Grok said.
So the first thing I asked it was about this Smith-Mundt Act of 1948. I'll bet most of you have heard of that, right? It's something that Democrats have no idea about. So the Smith-Mundt Act allowed the CIA or whatever it was at the time to do propaganda broadcasts in other countries so we could literally try to brainwash other countries. But it was very carefully walled so they couldn't do that in America.
Now the conservative story or the MAGA story is that when Obama came in office he changed the part about being able to do it domestically. So the very purpose of it, and nobody argues that this is the purpose. So both sides would agree this is the purpose. The purpose of sending media to other countries is to control their minds. It's brainwashing. It's propaganda. And nobody argues that. So that part nobody argues because we're okay propagandizing other countries. You know they do it to us, we do it to them. But the MAGA people would say yes but that all stopped. That all stopped when Obama said you can also use that same material that was used to propagandize other countries. You can now use it internally.
So I asked Grok if that's true and he said no that's not true. Here's what Grok says. The only change that was made was that if you wanted to get some of that external propaganda for research, just for research, you could request it and it would not be denied you. That's what Grok says. Grok is I think the least censored AI. Grok says that nothing like that happened. There was no authorization for the CIA to brainwash Americans. That didn't happen. The only thing they did was this little technical change that allowed somebody to request something if they want to do some research. Do you believe that? I don't know. I'm going to say I don't know. I don't think that the Smith-Mundt Act is terribly important to what we're seeing today. In other words you could see everything we're seeing whether or not the Smith-Mundt Act did or did not do anything. So I think maybe it's just a distraction. Not an intentional distraction but rather a distraction to spend much time thinking about it. Because we could argue all day whether that act has any difference but we could also just look at the difference. We could just look at what people are doing and that's probably all you need.
So the CIA specifically would be not allowed to use that stuff. But what about an NGO? Do you think an NGO, a non-government organization that gets funded by the government, do you think it could look at some of the propaganda and then repurpose it for the United States? Because I don't think anything says that a non-CIA entity can't do it. Do you think the CIA could ask somebody else to do it for them? Do you think they could talk to the Washington Post? I'll just use them as an example. It's not an accusation, just an example. Could the CIA say hey you know I'm having lunch with a journalist and you know there's this interesting story happening over in Europe right now and might be some application in the United States. Maybe the US market would like this story too. And then it's not really the CIA that's using it to propagandize. They're just, it's just lunch. It's just a conversation. It's just lunch.
So if you have lunch with your favorite journalist and you happen to know about a story that's kind of big in another country, maybe they'd be interested in looking at that story and how it plays out in this country. So I think if we're looking at the technical language of the law and this Smith-Mundt Act and what it does do and what it doesn't do and how it was revised, probably we're just going down the rabbit hole for no reason. Because you don't even need to be in that hole. Everything that you care about, know about, everything that matters, it can all be deduced without any reference to the Smith-Mundt Act. Because the one thing we can all be sure of is that any entity in the United States could get around that without any effort. It basically has no teeth because there's nothing that would stop me from let's say looking at some media in another country and saying oh I think I'll say that on social media because that looked good to me. That's not illegal. I could do it. I'm just a citizen. I just saw some stuff and I thought it'd be a good story. So it couldn't possibly be true that Smith-Mundt either caused anything or prevented anything. It would be far more reasonable to say it doesn't do anything. It's like you can forget that whole story. You know from the MAGA perspective it kind of gave some meat to a belief but you don't need it. You got plenty.
All right, so that's the first thing I found.
Now also you might know that Operation Mockingbird was the CIA literally in the 50s and 60s. They had favored news entities and journalists that they influenced including the Washington Post and the New York Times. Well they were implicated. So Grok doesn't say they were guilty. Grok says they were implicated. All right, so and it remains to be seen according to Grok whether they were really guilty of that. But I think most of us believe that Operation Mockingbird was real. And so that means in my lifetime, in my lifetime in the 60s, the CIA was managing our news. And they don't have to manage every news entity because if you get the Washington Post and the New York Times everybody else just follows them. They're called the newsmakers. Meaning that until it's in one of those entities, at least in the 60s, it wasn't really news. So if a local newspaper had a big story nobody cared. Didn't go anywhere. It has to be in the New York Times or the Washington Post in those days. That was before you know internet.
So allegedly there was this Church Committee in the 70s that exposed this evil and then it was ended. Do you think it was ended because it became illegal? Let's go back to lunch shall we? Hey favorite journalist who works for the Washington Post, would you like to have lunch? I work for the CIA and I know lots of things that maybe off the record you'd like to know too. All right well it's just lunch so let's have lunch. All right here's a scoop. Let me tell you this scoop. And they give him a real scoop and the journalist says wow that was worth it. I'm glad I went to lunch with that guy. And then maybe later he needs some context on the story and he contacts that CIA guy and says hey you know I'm doing a story on this. Do you have any context? And CIA guy adds it, makes his story better. Journalist is now killing it. He's got two great stories thanks to the CIA contact. And then there's another lunch. The CIA contact says you know what, God this terrible Trump guy. Wow yeah I don't know what the world's going to do with this Trump Trump Trump guy trying to break all of our democracy and doing racist things. You know what's your newspaper doing about Trump? Well I don't know. I mean I haven't, I don't have any stories about that. You know you really should think about it because it really is the biggest story in my opinion. I mean I'm not telling you any CIA stuff and of course the CIA can't tell you to do it but wow it's the biggest story. How are you missing that? And the next thing you know the journalist does not believe that they have been influenced by the CIA. They just think they have a good idea for a story.
Now this is just an example of course but if you think that the law or any kind of law like the Church Committee or whatever they found and whatever law changed, if you think the law can prevent somebody from having lunch, what world do you live in? All they need is a conversation. You don't think that the CIA is trained in how to manipulate somebody into doing what they want? That's exactly what they're trained to do. Not just in America but to anybody. If you sit down with somebody who's trained to persuade you, you're going to leave that meeting a little bit persuaded. So you don't really need to do anything illegal. It's just lunch. Just lunch.
Okay that's bad.
All right, so I would ignore the fact that there were any legal changes about what the CIA can or cannot do. Sometimes it's the CIA, sometimes it's the State Department, sometimes it's the Pentagon. So when I say the CIA did this or that what I mean is any of those entities because they're sort of joined at the hip for a lot of stuff.
So let me tell you what the MAGA belief is and then we'll see how it connected to reality. So the MAGA belief is that the CIA developed a bunch of tools allegedly for influencing other countries but they ended up turning those tools on the populist movement of Trump. Because stopping populists in other countries was mainly what they did. And stopping a Trump populist movement was apparently some say allegedly what they did next.
Now we know that there was some effort to censor Americans by controlling foreign entities. So if a foreign fake fact checker kept saying that X or something was fake, well then the European countries could say well according to our fake fact checker that's paid by USAID just as an example, I don't know if they are, according to the fake fact checkers this one Elon Musk owned platform is just full of lies and Nazis so I guess we can just ban it which would put X out of business. So we do know that our own government intentionally, not by accident, got a whole bunch of fake entities in other countries that we funded to do things that we couldn't do legally in this country. So it might have been technically legal but certainly a violation of everything we care about constitutionally. So we know that's true.
So here are the things we know are true. The things we know are true are that our own government has done a bunch of color revolutions in other countries. Now if you don't know what a color revolution is it's because a lot of these coups that are usually instigated by America, they often have a color associated with them. Not always. Sometimes there'll be some other label. But let me just give you an example of some color revolutions.
Now let me tell you that the way they do the color revolution is they first do capacity building. This is also Mike Benz's narrative. The capacity building means we bribe or somehow get control of various things within the country we're targeting. So if we could bribe or control their media or any part of it that'd be a big part of it. If we can control union heads they could tell the unions what to do that'd be a big part of it. If we can control the universities so we're educating the young people to be against their own government and for us. And you would try to control minority groups because they're the ones most likely to say hey the government's not serving us we better overthrow it.
So if you saw USAID going into a country and even if they said oh we're going to help you with your terrible problems, it is verified that in a number of cases, some would say not 100%, Mike Benz might say 100%, but that the CIA rides on the charity to get into the country and then do its CIA thing. And that all of the charities are basically cover for that activity because we don't do anything for another country unless it has a domestic purpose. And the domestic purpose is controlling other countries. So that's the claim.
So this is the narrative on the right. So if somebody were running a color revolution in the United States we know what to look for and I'll tell you that in a minute. But here are some of the examples. In 2000 Serbia had a bulldozer revolution. So they didn't have a color yet. The colors came later. There was a rose revolution in Georgia 2003. There was an orange revolution in Ukraine in 2004. There was a tulip revolution in Kyrgyzstan 2005. Cedar revolution in Lebanon 2005. Jeans revolution Belarus 2006. Saffron revolution Myanmar 2007. Green movement Iran 2009. Velvet revolution Armenia 2018. Some say that Euromaidan which is also Ukraine that came later, the Arab Spring in Hong Kong protest and Belarus protest are sometimes also labeled as color revolutions. That's according to Grok.
So this comes from Grok. Now did you know how many there were? That's kind of a lot. And I think this is not a complete list. I think maybe it's just the bigger countries we're all we've all heard of.
So here are the things we know for sure. There have been decades in which the CIA controlled Americans by brainwashing us through the media. That's not questioned by anybody left right. We all agree on that. Some say has stopped happening but they are morons. They are morons. There's no way to stop that from happening domestically. There's no way. You know when I watch a movie like Top Gun it's all rah Americans are good at flying planes. I don't think that happens by itself. You know I think they maybe Tom Cruise makes amazing movies and he has the power to do any movie he wants and that was an obvious sequel but I know, do you think that's totally without any influence by our government? I don't know. I have no evidence that it is but it's exactly what they do so I don't know.
Well now let's go to 2016. Tie it all together. Trump wins unexpectedly. How did Trump win unexpectedly? Because the bad guys failed to believe it was true. There was such a thing as shy Trump supporters. That's right. The smartest people in our government, you know the spooks and the spies and the FBI and all the smart politicians, they all believed it wasn't real when people like me were saying you know what's coming, right? You know that you've made it impossible to say out loud who you support and you know it's so you can't even tell your spouse and you know it's so bad that if a pollster calls and you do support Trump you're not going to take the call. You know it's so bad you might be lying to your own spouse about who you support. Now that's what they missed. Now I didn't miss it. I was saying it almost every day. Almost every day I said you gotta watch out for shy Trump supporters. It's way bigger than you think. And there's a logical obvious reason for it because you've made it impossible to go public with your beliefs. And so sure enough Trump wins unexpectedly.
And then what do you think happened? So one of the tricks that the color revolutions use is to say that Russia or somebody else is behind who is in office now. So you can get a revolution going if you can say oh the current leader is a Russian puppet. See where this is going? What was the main attack on Trump? Literally that he was a Russian puppet. This is textbook. This is guaranteed every time. If America tries to overthrow a populist the first thing they say is that's not a populist that's a Russian puppet. And watch how hard they've pushed on the Russian puppet thing. And now as I was saying the prairie dogs, the people who have exposed themselves as being part of the corrupt machine, they were the ones pushing it. Hillary Clinton to this day is pushing the Russia puppet thing about Trump. It's not an accident. If all they wanted to do was say there's bad things about Trump you would just say a million different things. But the fact that they converged on a whole made up Russia puppet thing, that's textbook 100% indication that they turned their external tools internally. It's not proof but it would be the biggest coincidence in the world. Especially since it wasn't true. If it were true then you just say well it was just true but they made it up and we know that they made it up.
And then let's see what about the capacity building. If we were doing capacity building in other places we would fund things like universities. Huh look at our universities full of leftist anti-populist. Look at our media. Huh the media seems completely controlled just like we would do to another country if we wanted to take it over. How about racial groups? Oh Black Lives Matter. Well suddenly we can make a story out of this George Floyd thing that if it had been based on the facts would have been no story at all. But if you control the media you can turn the George Floyd story into a story about rampant racial problems in the country. That's exactly what we would do to another country. How about Antifa? And by the way BLM was funded by USAID. Did you know that? What about Antifa? Well I don't know where they came from but they disappeared as soon as Trump was out of office. And given that they're supposed to be anarchists they should be just as mad at Biden as they would have been at Trump. They're anarchists. Are you telling me the anarchists like Democrats? Oh that's Joe Biden yeah that's fine but you're an anarchist. Yeah yeah but only when Trump's in office, right? None of this ever made sense. It's obviously external.
What about the Charlottesville op? To me I think it's so obvious that the Charlottesville thing was a government op. It's exactly what you would do exactly what you do to overthrow another country. You would have some kind of event that showed the racial minorities that they better act because they're in trouble. You better act. You better get to the streets. You better vote. Well that looks suspiciously right on point, doesn't it?
Now what about district attorneys? Is there any history in which we tried to control the district attorneys in another country for the benefit of overthrowing the government? Have you heard of Joe Biden and his trip to Ukraine in which he said if you don't get rid of that prosecutor you can't have money from, was it from USAID? Somebody said it was but I don't know if that's true. So we watched the first thing Biden had to do is get rid of the prosecutor and get one in there that he liked. What did the Democrats and USAID and George Soros fund? They funded friendly DAs and attorney generals so that they can control prosecutions against who they wanted to prosecute. And then they engaged them and then they went after Trump. All the lawfare is the same thing we would do in another country to control their government. We would do the same thing. We would just find some fake reason that the DAs and the law has to go after them and they would be our people. The law would be basically bribed by us so that looks like exactly what's happening. Letitia James is still yelling she's going to be suing Trump and trying to put him in jail. She's still saying it.
The other thing you'd want to do is if you were taking over another country you'd want to weaponize their Department of Justice like I just said. But also if they had an FBI or something like that you'd want to control them too. These are all the things that happened to us.
Now is it a coincidence that the precise exact tools that are used in other countries and there's a long list of times we've used them and they're well established tools. Nobody's doubting that those are the tools. And also nobody would doubt what I just described. There was a Russia collusion hoax. There was our universities, media, Black Lives Matter, Antifa are clearly fake. I say the Charlottesville thing was fake because it never happened again. I mean that's your ultimate signal. If that had been real even after they all got in trouble there would have been some second wave, third wave even if it were smaller. But no it just disappeared. Okay it was never real. The racists were real but obviously was organized by some dark entity that was trying to mess with the United States.
So that's what we got going. And of course we know that in the United States DEI and climate change and trans rights became our big weapons to use against who? Oh it just turns out that all of those things can be used against the populist. Huh, coincidence right? That the things that you said to yourself why are these the top story they shouldn't be the top story even if you think they're important it's all fake.
So when Mike Benz says there's no such thing as domestic policy does that make sense now? Even getting rid of Trump is for the benefit of our international policy. And the things that they use to get rid of them that you think are domestic policy are only to get rid of them. Now there of course there are people who agree with all these policies but that's not why they're the big thing. The reason anything becomes a big thing is because somebody behind the curtain's pushing it. It doesn't become a big thing on its own.
All right, so did I already talk about Thomas Massie who says that USAID is gutted but I can't tell if I thought about talking about it or I did. So Thomas Massie was saying that the omnibus might just put USAID all back together. I think I told you that but yeah so that might happen. So we have a self-healing criminal system.
There's also something called DRL according to American Thinker. John Kski is writing about this. Here's what that is. Something that started under Carter. DRL and it's a has some human rights agenda and foreign policy and it's a practically independent element of American foreign policy. So the thinking is that that's just another one of these you know USAID things like USAID but different entity.
In other news Iran has unveiled its first drone carrier. So it's like an aircraft carrier except for drones only and it's already launched. So apparently Iran will now have the power to project drone swarms wherever they want. I'd like to make a prediction about the fate of their new craft. I'm going to give it 6 months before a catastrophic mechanical problem causes it to blow up in port. Just a guess. I think it might have a terrible mechanical problem that hey if they'd done a better job of building it it wouldn't have happened but sadly probably because they're bad at engineering they're going to make a carrier that just explodes on its own. Really? And we weren't even anywhere near it so don't look at us. It just exploded on its own. It's very bad. Very bad luck.
But Trump is calling for in terms of Iran he wants a verified nuclear peace agreement and he's sort of talking like a president in a good way. He said I would much prefer a verified nuclear peace agreement which will let Iran peacefully grow and prosper. I like how Trump always says don't you want to prosper? You know that's his go-to for every adversarial country. How about we just stop fighting each other and you just make a bunch of money? How about that? Because it's a pretty appealing concept to at least the public if not the leaders.
He said we don't want to be tough on Iran. We don't want to be tough on anybody. But they just can't have a nuclear bomb. Now I love the clarity of that. I love the clarity. You're not going to have a nuclear weapon. When Israel says it you know they mean it as well but you wonder if the United States might prevent them from doing what it might take to get rid of it you know such as bunker busting bombs on nuclear facilities in Iran. So you don't necessarily think that Israel would have the green light to do what needs to be done in Iran. But what if Trump says you do? When Trump says the one thing I'll guarantee is you're not going to get a nuclear weapon, what that tells me is what Trump always says which is everything's on the table. So if Israel, let's say that nothing good happens with Iran and there's no progress and there's no talks and there's not going to be, do you think that Trump is going to stop Israel from taking out their nuclear facilities? I don't. I think they have a green light but not yet. We're going to see if Iran will you know just want to join the peaceful world now that their proxies have been decimated. It's a whole different conversation. So it's the best time in the world to be negotiating with Iran. But I love the fact that we have the capability of bombing all of their nuclear facilities no matter how underground they are and that it's green light. So you can talk to us about stopping it yourself or we'll stop it. But the question of whether it will be stopped is asked and answered.
Yeah you don't see, this is important. If you act like it's a negotiation it will be one. So the mistake would be to say we need to have a negotiation about your nuclear program. Nope, fail. You failed before you started. As soon as you say it's a negotiation then they just drag it out and they fake it and nothing happens. If you say you're not going to have a nuclear weapon everybody knows what that means. It means that there's nothing we won't do to stop it. Meaning we would nuke you. I don't think that's going to happen but we'd nuke them before we'd let them have a nuclear weapon. There's no limit to what we'd be willing to do.
Now once you start your negotiations with all right this thing's not going to happen and now here's your decision. So he's again he's making them think past the sale. The sale is do you do nuclear or not. He's saying that's solved. Now that we've solved you're not going to have nuclear because we have the power. Notice how he does this. Trump always tells people that he has the power so you can stop thinking about it. I've decided.
Wow, what's this breaking news? Egypt says it will work with partners to reconstruct Gaza without Palestinians leaving the strip. That sounds like a non-starter but back to Trump. Look how good the technique is and you could take this with yourself and I've used this by the way. I've used this technique a number of times and when I do it always works. It works every time. You never let it be a discussion whether they can have the thing that you don't want them to have. The thing you only tell them how they can lose it all. Right we're not talking about whether you can have it. That's already settled. We're going to talk about how you don't have it. Do you not have it because you decided to play nice and then you make money we make money and everybody's happy? Or did you decide to do it by losing your control over your own country while we just decimate your nuclear program and good luck picking up the pieces.
So I don't think anybody's ever put it in those terms before where the question of whether you're going to have it is now taken off the table. That's asked and answered and settled. You are not going to have it because we do have the power. Trump has 100% of the ability to take it away from you. So he just said you don't have it. So now you only get to decide what path you take to not have it. With bombs or no bombs. That is good technique. You know sometimes the things that he says are so ordinary looking that you don't realize how deep the technique is. What he said I don't believe anybody said it quite the way he said it. But also this is important because he's Trump they think he would carry through with a threat. If Biden says, I'd love to see Biden's language. Maybe you can do a fact check on me. Find me some quotes from Biden and I'll bet you it says things like we're going to work really hard to make sure Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. Fail. Fail. Complete failure. We don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Fail fail fail. You already killed yourself before you started. If you say you're not going to have a nuclear weapon now let's talk about how that happens. Whole different narrative. I mean completely different frame. And that's what Trump does better than anybody.
All right, according to Popular Science there's a company that's building underwater homes that you could live in for extended times. They're for research but maybe someday they'll be underwater homes.
All right, that's all I have. I ran way too long. I'm going to say hi to the Locals people privately. I hope you like this.

well there you are checking in in the stock market here we're a little bit up not looking too bad looks like things are normalizing even Tesla is up a little bit today took quite a hit this week let's see the uh comments and then we start the show want to make sure I can see all your Genius comments all right I think we're in good shape now good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization scull coffee with Scott Adams and wow do we have a lot to cover today 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 cover mugger a glass of tanker chal Ain a canteen jug a flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like the coffeee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip go uh it's the elixir of the Gods I wonder if there are any new stories about the benefits of drinking coffee checking notes yes there is according to get surri Ellen Jen writes that drinking one extra cup of sugar-free coffee a day is linked to weight loss uh I believe that I'm only a few cups away from disappearing totally if you get if you get uh if there's less of you the more you drink coffee I'm about ready to disappear so that's how I'm going to go just drink coffee until I don't exist if you're following the Dilbert kic that you can only watch if you're on the locals platform but there's a lot of political stuff on there if you don't want that that's not for you but if you just want to see the comic that has continued since my cancellation two years ago it's called dilbur reborn and you can get it on the xplatform just hit the subscription button and here's what you would be finding you would find that the new comic will tell you uh the problem with hiring the low bid Hitman yeah so dog B is in the role of a Hitman and you see what happens when you take the low bid for your Hitman doesn't go well but here's the more interesting thing I also publish that whatever comic ran exactly 10 years ago from whatever date today is so the comics that ran exactly 10 years ago are so on point for right now it's about humanoid robots being introduced into Dilbert's house and you know what goes wrong and oh my god did I call it 10 years ago you have to see it to see how On.
Point it is for today anyway so go take a look at that in other news yay well we'll get to the hard news in a minute I I like to ease you into it with some lesser hard news so apparently yay is making a buzz on social media I think he's got a new album out and he's apparently off his meds and I'm not going to tell you any of the things that he said in all caps shouting like crazy X but let me tell you um he looks like he's off his meds it it's uh it's just absolute mental illness there there's no other way to no other way to look at it he says he's off his meds by the way he thinks he was misdiagnosed as bipolar so now he thinks he's autistic he is not autistic I'm pretty sure that's not right but I don't know we'll see in other news is simulation alert simulation alert simulation alert everybody simulation alert here's how you know you live in a simulation the confirmation vote for the new budget Chief Democrats try to delay it they try to delay the vote for somebody named Russ vote that's right his name sounds like Rush the vote vote and they delayed the vote for Rush vote that's all that's the whole story simulation alert uh meanwhile there's a Michigan Democrat state legislator who decided to announce that she's going to sterilize herself actually already has to avoid giving birth in Donald Trump's America according to the Gateway pundit Colin linberger Lineberger Barger um so I would regard this as a combination of mental illness and probably something she wanted to do anyway that had nothing to do with anything she's 36 hasn't had a kid I guess you so I don't know how much sex she was having but uh she won't be having any extra Democrats in the most important story of the entire year uh one of the Doge team members used to go by the name a secret name online big balls and Big Balls said some pretty pretty inappropriate things yeah pretty inappropriate um and uh once that all came out um you would be surprised to hear there's somebody who was once working for usaid but now works for the Wall Street Journal uh outed that Doge person huh feels like everything's coming together and now we understand every time you hear that somebody like you know Liz Cheney came out of the you know was or AOC were birthed by the US Aid funding you have to say to yourself H is this really describing the entire structure we see that all the people that we know to be turds came from the same place that would be kind of of a big coincidence anyway um so the best part is that CNN uh did did a part in this in which Aaron Bernett and Cara swisser um were talking about it because uh you just can't have somebody working on your team named Big Balls who once said offensive things online under a suud name anyway what's the point of having a pseudonym if you can't if you can't be anonymous um but here's the best part I believe that the media thought that they would um hurt musk and his effort by making giving a lot of attention to big balls and I don't think they know much about Elon Musk because Big Balls is the funniest thing you could possibly do and the more you talk about it on CNN the happier I am I think you should do the the whole segment on Big Balls there should be more of a special i' like to see them delve deeper into it but here's the thing uh and I love the fact that they thought they were defeating the monster you know they would think that Elon Musk is the monster and so the way they thought they would defeat him is talking about Big Balls that's really feeding the monster I mean if you're really afraid of him don't feed him stories about Big Balls he's going to dining on that all day so to speak so there's one thing missing with this story and I think you can all tell what's missing you know what's missing right it doesn't have a clever name yet so we need to have some kind of a name to talk about this Scandal about the Big Balls uh I'm going to go first uh I'm going to call it a scrotum gate scrotum gate everybody in do you like that so whenever we talk about it it'll just be scrotum gate now uh Elon is running a poll on X to see if uh he should bring back the the equ quit by the way Big Balls quit once the news got out and I can understand that but uh Elon wants to bring him back now here's my take if somebody who is a teenager or 19 years old uh said something that we all agree is absolutely inappropriate but did it anonymously ly did it anonymously I don't have a problem with it because every 19-year-old boy is saying deeply inappropriate things all the time and if he was doing it anonymously he knew that it was not something that you could put in the public domain somebody else put it in the public domain so my problem is not with anything you said um because I just I just can't blame a 19-year-old for having inapo especially a man a 19-year-old male it's all we have is inappropriate thoughts do you understand what a 19-year-old male is that is a person who is non-stop inappropriate thoughts that's all we do at that age do we grow out of it sometimes sometimes not all the time anyway big balls might be back but we'll keep an eye on scrotum gate Fox News says that a big consulting firm PWC they going to have a big conference this summer uh trying to get uh high- performing college students an opportunity to work for their company oh that's good yeah big consulting company wants to make sure that the high performing students get to check out their job offerings oh wait is specifically excludes white and Asian applicants so it's a Dei policy or something like it so apparently not everybody got the memo that if you openly discriminate against white and Asian applicants it's not going to end well it might not go your way in the long run so maybe rethink breaking the law all right I got to look at this comment because it looks interesting uh Ron Paul says on X look behind the curtain has revealed a horrific truth nearly the entire mainstream media worldwide has been funded by the US government under the USA from the BBC to the New York Times and Politico at this point it might be easier to find out who USA does not funded well that does seem approximately true and I I saw a video online I couldn't tell if it's a new one or an old one I think it's an old one so you tell me it was Pam Bondi talking about how many times Bill Clinton had been on the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein apparently he he'd uh he he hadn't been on the plane just a couple of times he'd been on there multiple times and traveled internationally with Epstein and uh that that plane had a bed in it that's all you need to know um and apparently they stayed friends for years whereas Trump you know removed him from his life fairly early on so is that a new clip a new one or an old one what's all the 27s um all right so that's out there so Trump has uh tried to fire the Federal Election Commission commissioner Ellen wi drob but she says it's illegal in the president campire we'll see but she was appointed by Bush and apparently the they can only be replaced if they resign or their term expires what let me read that again according to Legal experts an FEC commissioner can only be replaced if they resign or their term expires wait what who the has a job that they can't be fired from who the has a job that they can't be fired from unless you're elected and even if you're elected you can be fired you know it's got it's got to be an impeachment but there's a process are you telling me that there's somebody in our government who's in charge of the elections who can't be fired are you serious I hope I I hope I'm reading this wrong do I have this wrong the most important person the head of the spear for our entire democracy can't be fired oh my God you you think that the well of corruption and and Badness is deep I've never seen anything like that have you have you ever heard of somebody who can't be fired for any reason that can't be right there there must be everybody can be fired for call right but apparently not according to Legal experts wow the Daily Mail has a uh has a story that looks fake to me um they're saying that there's unconfirmed plans that Trump's trying to end the Ukraine war in 100 days and uh that he wants to get a ceasefire by April 20th and that the deal would freeze Russia's uh place they get to keep what they have Ukraine would not join NATO and uh and that would be the deal now I guess this comes from a sketchy source and then the daily mail picked it up so it's two sketchy sources uh the daily mail is not uh full propaganda but it's not right 100% of the time either you know like most things so I don't think this is anything but maybe a test balloon my best gu guess is that it's a way for the government to float an idea to see what people think of it so as an idea of floating test balloon is a good one but I don't think it's a real story feels like just testing out the water we'll see so uh Senator fedman uh has weighed in on the RFK Jr and Tulsi gabard um nominations and he will not vote for them so you will not vote for either gabri or Kennedy now we don't absolutely need his vote because Republicans can get it through if they're all together but I was uh I was amused by Nicole Shanahan's uh reply to the EXP poost about this uh I'll just paraphrase um she said it better but you know here's here's just my summary the Federman is a slob who wears gim clothes and doesn't go to the gym he's a slob who wears gym clothes all day and doesn't go to the gym in other words health is not high on his list all right so here's somebody who apparently doesn't have any appreciation for good human health or he would act like it he'd go to the gym he'd lose weight he need write he do he acts like he has no appreciation for the biggest issue in the whole country which which is our kids have chronic diseases and they'll have no good life that's a pretty big problem and he's against it separately fedman also said that he thought the Democrats don't have much chance of winning men back because he he said he's been warning about it and that the Democrats become sort of the uh party of whiny women and that not only were white males leaving the Democrat Party but black men Hispanic men and it's pretty Broad and obvious change but the interesting thing is he thinks they can't get it back meaning that Federman believes he is in the party that's anti-men that would be according to all the men who change sides because they want to be on the side that's not anti-men Dei is anti-men what do we got here um H okay so Ellen wob the head of the F that Trump is trying to get rid of um she once was in private practice at Perkins Koy so if you recommend if you understand Perkins koi that's like the the heart of the Democrat legal dirty tricks well I won't call them that I'll just say they're the the legal arm of the Democrats where much has been done the Republicans don't like so we can see why Trump's getting rid of her it makes sense but uh let me close on the Federman so fedman knows that he's on the anti-male team and he stays there now if he tried to become a republican I'm sorry you've that door is very closed right now you're not going to become a republican if you're turning down uh Kennedy you're dead I mean not physically dead you're done as a political entity that anybody on the Republican side's going to care about so you're you're a piece of from my perspective and you should expect that Scott pressler's coming for your job not to take the job but to make sure that there are more Republicans uh registered in Pennsylvania and he said so by the way I'm not speculating Scott presler Nicole Shanahan they're going to take him out and I I don't know if that means he'll be primaried but that's what Nicole Shanahan promised that she'd be primarying people who go the wrong direction on the Kennedy vote and Scott presler says it directly you know we're coming after you basically so fedman I think his political fortunes are now over cuz he just made an unrecoverable error um allegedly according to wired um Elon Musk doge is working on a on a chatbot so they're going to create a chatbot called GS allegedly and it would be part of you know maybe maybe some of it would be to analyze the complexities that doge is looking into but some of it would be maybe a replacement for some of the functions of the government you know if you had a really good AI it could do a lot of stuff now I'm a skeptic because my own experience with trying to create an AI agent even though it was last summer and a lot has changed I don't believe AI can do that I don't believe AI can create an agent that can do General stuff that a human could do I I don't think it's anywhere near it so the AI is super smart but when you try to get it to do of the job of a person it's uh you know it hallucinates and it's hard to know when it's going to do it they can't look up data reliably so the only way it would work is if it's sort of a interface layer but all of the real important work is just regular programming you know just it initiates something that looks into a database that's not AI so if it's the interface for things that are not AI it could be great so I don't want to Jud I obviously let me just say the obvious the people who are working on this know a lot more than I do about AI so if they think it can work you would be kind of dumb for me to bet against it but I don't it's not my understanding that it can work unless it's just an interface to regular programming we'll see someday it will work I don't think it's there yet all right you know we're going to talk about us Aid I got more to say about that but Thomas M uh says now if you're brand new I'll just give you the the quick update USA is a 50 billion dollar whatever funded entity within the government that um does things for the state department sometimes the CIA sometimes the Pentagon this is the Mike Ben's explanation of the world and uh it's been basically gutted by Doge for all the alleged waste and you know fraud um the waste would be funding things that are not good for anybody that would be the claim but Thomas Massie says I'm concerned that the House and Senate will fully fund us Aid in March just like we did in December although he voted against it he said the argument from Republican leadership will be that they need Democrat votes to pass the omnius to avoid a government shutdown oh my God I hate how right he is so Massie is pretty good at seeing around corners and telling you what's coming uh how do we beat that because the whole omnius thing is a it's essentially a criminal process it's a criminal process because it allows the people of congress to not do their job and get tons of money for things that will help them get reelected I don't know if it's illegal but certainly in intention and in you know in a de facto way it's just criminal the the let me say it again the Omnibus is when they put all the spending in one big thing and you could just say yes or no but they put all kinds of crap in there and then they say well if you say no to the crap you're the one who shut down the government and children will die which is an exaggeration so yeah we have a system that guarantees that usaid will be fully funded think about that we just nuked it and it the the corrupt government is so Advanced at this point it's evolved almost to its own creature the corruption is self-healing we have a selfhealing corruption designed machine if you take out the heart of the machine us Aid that might be the most important beating organ in the whole machine completely removed and in one month it could be reinstated because it's a self-healing corrupt system and they'll just use the Omnibus as the argument for why it must be refunded now if it's not done with the omnius and I don't know what would stop it uh they could do the same thing with onesies and twozies well but this one's important well you cut all the funding but but this one's important but this one's important and just try to wear down Marco Rubio and the state department which absorbed the usaid function so let me tell you if you if you think usaid is defeated not even close we're not even close to defeating it it it's sort of like the Terminator you know you okay good news we shot the Terminator uhoh he's reforming he's self-healing so it's coming for you did you know according to Leslie Kim movitz I don't know if this is uh I don't know if this is a good source or not but it's a good example of the kind of news I'm seeing on social media I'll give you the following warning there will be claims about USA funding that are not true Trump just reversed the Biden decision on plastic straws we're getting our plastic straws back yes USA's coming back but so are plastic straws so it's it's a tie all right so according to Leslie kajim and remember the the umbrella for this story and a lot of others is they might not be true there going to be a whole bunch of claims about us Aid funding that if you looked into it it might mean not exactly what the claim is but could be close but the claim is that usaid in 2016 gave $310 million of taxpayer money to a Palestinian cement factory well now on the surface you'd say to yourself well if you're going to you know have a modern country and you going to develop you're going to need some cement so maybe we funded the one of the main things they needed to to rebuild this good quality local cement I wonder where the cement went well maybe some of it went for factories to build some factories maybe some housing but maybe it's how they built their Hamas tunnels so the the real concern is is that no matter what our intentions were it may have been just you know siphoned off and taken to build not siphoned off but they would have they would have actually built the cement plant but the cement plant may have been allegedly some part of the tunnel building 310 million do you think we got our money's worth there um I don't know that one that one feels a little too on the nose doesn't it remember I tell you the one way to spot fake news quickly is it's too perfect what would be the most perfect story somebody could make up about us Aid the most perfect story would be it built the Hamas tunnels now it might have I'm not saying it didn't happen I'm saying oh boy is that one right on the nose so if you have to bet on it I don't know if it's a safe bet it's a little too clean so just be just beware that when you hear these stories that a little too perfect there may be a reason they're too perfect but they also might be true so it's hard to say um yesterday I posted an X that uh it seems to me that maybe we could close the entire budget Gap the deficit the entire thing just by getting rid of Fraud and that's a big claim right cuz we're talking about $2 trillion so I honestly think that if we got rid of all fraud in all forms of the government from military to Medicare fraud to everything else we might close the entire Gap and I thought well you know it just it's just how it feels it's not really haven't done the math but Elon Musk saw that comment that I made and he modified it in the comments he said uh that maybe get a fraud would close oneir to 1/ half of the deficit one half of the deficit is a trillion dollars a trillion dollars per year not a trillion dollars over many years one year now that's the person who's looked into it the closest he knows more than any of us now about what he's found and maybe even what he's likely to find he thinks there be a trillion dollars of something that we might call Waste or fraud I think that's right I think it's a trillion at least you know I thought it was two but I'm going to go with his estimate because he's closer to it um here are some examples Jesse Waters had a good rundown on some of the examples of things that us Aid was doing now here's the problem and I'll get get into this in more detail the the fake news the corporate news is reporting that the usaid is a charitable organization doing all kinds of good things all over the world and um and that defunding it means that people will die by the millions so people will die so when Jesse and other people give the list of the fake looking wastes of money and I'm I'm going to list them in moment you might say to yourself oh uh if we get rid of the fake ones then all we'll have left is the real charity and maybe the real charity makes sense some people would say now the fake news is covering this like it's a charity being removed story The Real News the magga Republican version of what's happening is that USA is always been a fake organization that is designed to overthrow other countries and and also control the United States so those are completely different stories but here's what's interesting the fake news is pretending like there's only one version of The Narrative they're not even telling you that the other narrative is wrong they're just ignoring it what's that tell you if they told you that the narrative that it's you know a c IIA front if they told you that was not true and they said why and they showed their work well then maybe you could compare their version with what other sources are saying and maybe make up your own mind but they're acting like there's only one narrative they're actually ignoring the main claim and the main claim is the biggest the biggest scandal in American history you know maybe since I don't know maybe since slavery but it's the biggest story I've ever seen since I've been alive would you agree I mean Wars are big in their own way so you know you can't ignore Wars but in terms of a scandal this is the biggest one I've ever seen by a thousand this is not even close to anything I've ever seen this is enormous that's one narrative why can they ignore what half of the country thinks is true and is digging into the details of it and completely coming up to speed they're just ignoring it now that tells you that they're fake news so if you're wondering are they fake news yes turns out they are um here are some the things Jesse Waters says they funded uh $6 million for tourism in Egypt because Egypt certainly couldn't do any tourism without an extra $6 million you know as Jesse points out they have pyramids they have pyramids you you'd be you'd be lucky if you could stop people from going there I mean you'd have to close the border to stop all the people who want to go in there to look at the pyramids the one thing they don't need is some help with a tourist destination because again they've got pyramids they have pyramids all right $2 million help the British Broadcasting Company value the diversity of Libyan Society I didn't make that up we're paying the BBC British entity um how to Value the diversity of Libyan Society now that can't be real how is Is that real uh $1 million for a gay group in Armenia what what 20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street okay 2 million for Trans surgeries in Guatemala um 235 million to the National Democratic Institute H well well that sounds sounds fine right we like democracy and sounds like that's what they're working on it's right in the name so 235 million uh but um a lot of that money went to executive compensation so the the real meaning of all this funding is everything about the government funding seems to be a way for Democrats to get a Payday and some anti-trump Republicans they all seem to have one foot in some form of either us Aid or somebody that usaid funds or something also an NGL uh I saw an estimate from Alex Jones that there are 1.5 million NOS but 1.1 million of them are left leaning is that possible somebody in the comments said 55,000 at the very least there are thousands thousands of these entities that get funded by our government your taxpayers your your tax money and it seems to be mostly for controlling America controlling other countries and for people to get paychecks so that they can get this easy funding from your money basically it's just a transfer of wealth to Democrats the wealthy Democrats is not even the poor Democrats that's what it looks like well according to grock and I should warn you that all of the AIS are not up to date on this story they're up to date on what people are saying but your AIS are going to tell you there's no evidence that the CIA has anything to do with the usaid that's what your AI will tell you um but uh grock tells me that all the spending of us Aid is transparent it's transparent so everybody could have always seen it and that the uh GAO uh government Accounting Office can audit it so they so don't worry about the spending being wrong because you can see it it's transparent you know the names of the places it's going to and you also know that there's an auditing function so it could get audited by the government to make sure they're not doing anything wrong so you good with that um I hope you're good with it because I'm starting an NGO so the name of my NGO um is going to be it's going to be called America doing awesome things for a gay climate scientists and democracy now that sounds like a joke but it's not very far from the name of the other NOS so the first thing you do is put a name on your NGO and a primary purpose that looks like it's good and then you hide behind that goodness and do all your evil behind it because you can get your paycheck you can do your your infl infuence pedling but as long as people come after you so if if you come after me after I get funded from my America doing awesome things for gay climate scientists and democracy I'm going to say whoa oh look who's coming after me uh apparently you don't like gay people you're a bigot uhhuh and you're anti-science because why else would you be coming after me for trying to fund climate scientists so you're anti- scientist you're anti-gay you're opposed to democracy I mean all those things are right in the title of my NGO so clearly I'm doing good work and you're some kind of a bigoted piece of crap science denier get out of here get out of here and I'm going to tell all the other Democrats to stay away from you God you're such a terrible person you're awful how could you even come after me when I'm so virtuous just look at the name of my NGO it's right there in the name all right so um so there's that also uh according to the Washington examiner um taxpayers also funded Chinese research representative uh Claudia Tenny Republican uh she's she's got a bill she's introduced into stop funding our adversaries now you would think that's something we weren't doing your common sense would say we're not funding any adversaries what are you talking about how could it possibly be true that we're funding adversaries what but between 2015 and 2021 the US provided $29 million directly to Chinese entities for research and development I think that included Wuhan these are real things I think now remember remember the umbrella caution there are going to be claims that aren't true and I'm not I'm not sure I'll know which ones are not true but the general thrust of it is still the same directionally these are largely fake things now is it true that it also does good things such as helping countries battle AIDS yes that's called a cover the reason that they do good things is so you can't pull their funding if they're doing good things the government uh let's say the foreign government that allows us Aid funded things in probably can't handle the problems themselves such as you know an AIDS epidemic or you know any other major problem that a smaller country can't handle we come in and say we can handle that and the government says well we can't do it ourselves and it is destroying our country so yeah come on in and then you can't kill it because if you try to kill the funding you're going to say that you killed people with AIDS Elon mus just posted I love Donald Trump as much as a straight man can love another man oh God he likes causing trouble all right so um let's see what else is uh so CNN says the uh concern about these big government payouts to uh to Media organizations such as Politico are fake so no the media is telling you that if you think the media is taking money to you know change the reporting that's fake people that's just fake and the example they give is that Politico which has two I think two main businesses one is Politico of the publication but another one is a Subs very expensive subscription uh thing that has extra data and things that are not in their public political thing and the claim was that $8 million flowed into the pro part of the Politico not the publication and that it came from not just USA but maybe a bunch of entities that are also Nos and kind of operate same so do you think that $8 million of subscriptions were do you think that was an appropriate expense for all kinds of different parts of the government they they all needed a subscription to this thing does that sound real to you now Politico is trying to make the distinction that funding not funding but let's say buying a bunch of subscriptions to one part of their business has no influence on their coverage in the other part of the business that's for the stupid people let let me tell you how you can bribe people oh how many lines of business do you have two Well we'd like to influence one of those lines of business okay great we'll give you millions of dollars if you'll do with that line of business what we want you to excellent you got a deal but can you do us a favor don't write the checks to something that looks like that line of business that you want us to influence instead could you write it to the other line of business so it looks like you're just buying a regular product like anybody would so I'm not saying that's what happened I'm just saying that's exactly what it looks like happened there's no such thing as people are uninfluenced by money millions of dollars yeah yeah no influence at all millions of dollars nobody believes that and as I read Ron Paul thinks that basically all of the media is influenced by government spending that's channeled through this and that so it gets there well maybe uh Brian stelter called the claim that Politico is receiving government sub subsidies quote rampant right-wing misinformation well technically he's correct here's what he didn't say but the parent company of Politico is making millions of dollars and it doesn't seem like that number could be supported by the fact that people like subscriptions to your pro service that would be the better frame all right if you're getting lost in all this stuff because the Doge thing is getting complicated I would recommend that you listen to the explainers uh one difference from 20 16 till now is that the right leaning part of the the world has developed these incredible explainers people who simply know enough that they can tell you what's really happening that's different from what the news is telling you so some of them of course Mike Benz is the uh tip of the spear on this particular topic but I would listen to Mike cernovich who can who digs into it deeper than most and explains it better uh Glenn Greenwald Brett Einstein um and look at podcasts not the news the podcasts are where you get closest to the truth in this case and the the good explainers are the ones that can help you so the bad explainers aren't going to give you anything you got to listen to the good explainers that I just explained so here's an example um Brett Weinstein on Joe Rogan I'm going to read the whole thing I just like the way he said it he said quote as a I was watching the confirmation hearings my sense was that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were dinosaurs who do not understand that the Earth has just been hit from outer space and that they don't live in the world that they're used to that their corruption was immediately apparent and they're not used to that they're used to having a whole phony journalistic layer that covers for them and that layer is gone and the American public is awake and they're angry and rightfully so and now it looks like and now look at Bernie Sanders and you see the same guy going after Bobby Kennedy like dude I just went through Co I see Bernie Sanders and I see him reading from a script that is no longer relevant to the movie that we're watching that's a good description that's a good description yes if you look at the the politicians that are prairie dogging the the ones whove decided that they're going to be really noisy about us Aid being cut and about the Doge those are all the corrupt ones by accident uh this wasn't what anybody was trying to do but by accident by poking the right part of the government it it revealed all of the turds everybody who is corrupt in my opinion this just an opinion they're the ones that are the loudest if you see Jamie Rasin and Schumer and Warren and uh Sanders and you know Adam Schiff those are all the designated Liars they're the ones who specifically come out when they're selling they don't bring them out when the truth can handle itself if if the problem is the truth then the news can handle it the news will just say y fact Jack this is true but when the news can't handle it because it's such a big lie that even the news can't go there they bring out the same cast the characters yeah and Leticia James is obviously part of the corruption she's the law fair Queen so that's the world we're living in um so this is from Mike cernovich who was on Jesse Kelly's show and he said that usaid funds diversity uh the money hits a nonprofit so diversity everybody loves that right so you fund the diversity so that you've got a cover and then the money hits the nonprofit that's going to do something for diversity and some lib in DC pays herself himself or herself half a million dollars power power couples are pulling pulling in millions of dollars per year stealing from you I believe that is a perfect explanation of some large part of what's Happening that Democrats have figured out wait a minute if 98% of the people in USA are Democrats and I'm a Democrat and they've got all this money and they give it out to all kinds of sketchy people all the time for sketchy reasons all I need is to say I'm going to do something that sounds important like fix diversity then what are they going to do if you're usaid and somebody says I'm going to work on diversity don't you say oh yeah good good let's do that so it basically turns out a lot of this is I think literally just scam it's hard to know because there might be some legitimate ones they got in the mix but it does look like mostly it's designed as a scam at least that's the way it operates it's a de facto criminal Enterprise de facto might not actually be illegal um Marco Rubio now ahead of a state department where usaid got rolled in so after it got gutted what's left of it got rolled under the state department so Rubio is in charge of that and he's going to reduce the staff of USA from about 10,000 to 294 which is probably about 200 people too many but you know I'll take what I can get uh so this is very musk likee it just feels like a lot lot of what he did with Twitter you know your common sense which wouldn't work in this case told you okay Twitter might have 20% more people than they need nope they had 90% more people than they needed well probably maybe 80 or 75% and that was the right number because uh X has apparently turned cash positive can you believe that I think that's true I'll take I'll take a fact check on that but I saw this morning just in passing somebody said that X is now Beyond break even that they're cash positive is that still true I hope so anyway um so Mike Ben is now being attacked by the same media that may be benefiting from these corrupt payments from us Aid and and similar NOS so would you be surprised to know that the Washington Post post uh not only went after that Doge guy but it's he already did a hit piece on Mike Ben and he says that a whole bunch of the media has contacted him asking him to comment because they're also working on H pieces apparently it took him a while wer were you all wondering why hasn't Mike Benz been taken out by the Deep state yet I hate to say it but I've been wondering that for a long time and the only thing I could think of is that he had not penetrated the bubble yet meaning that as long as they had a good bubble so that nobody in their base ever heard any Mike Ben's argument and by the way I tested this with my smartest Democrat friend uh while back I said all right just do me a favor just listen to one person just listen to Mike Ben figure out what he's saying about things and then you'll you'll finally maybe catch up to a big part of what the political right knows and uh my friend looked at one of his videos dismissed it as I don't know a troll or something and would never look at another one so that's probably what happened with any other Democrat who tried looking it the the Mike Ben's view of reality is so disturbing that if you're not already leaning in that direction it'll just make your head explode and your your brain won't be able to process C how completely wrong your impression of the world you live in has been here's the most uh provocative thing that Ben said just on a podcast I think yesterday he said there's no such thing as domestic policy just listen to that there's no such thing as domestic policy everything that you think is domestic policy is fake meaning that is designed to control other countries or to control our own country to keep a populist scent of office now when I heard that my first thought was well that's not true because you know what about our uh what about the emphasis on the government has on Dei you know before Trump and now we know that Dei is what we introduced to a country we're trying to destabilize because if you can get them to really be mad about racial division which is what Dei gets you you can weaponize them and put them on the streets and have them rebel against their government but what about climate change I mean that's obviously domestic policy we we want to save our lives and make sure we're doing the right thing right well except that one of the ways you destabilize another country is to inject climate change into that other country say it's the most important thing and if the leader aren't working on it well they got to be replaced and so it goes that everything you think was a domestic policy is really a way to make sure that uh populists like Trump don't get power because the populist will rip into all that stuff uh what about trans rights were you all confused about why trans rights suddenly became the only thing we were talking about for a long time like how is that even possible like even even if you agree or disagree with you know any of the topics onto the trans stuff nobody thought it was should have been the top National talking point that can't be natural do you know what uh we do when we try to destabilize other countries we fund protrans things in those countries because the trans people can get the lgbtqs on board and suddenly they all hate their their leadership now doesn't this sound exactly like what's happening in this country it does so let's talk more about that so I spent some time this morning so that you didn't need to uh on grock so grock is the AI I used and I said to myself I want to use the most unbiased one because I'm going to ask some questions that I know will be censored on the other ones so this is what grock said so the first thing I asked it was about this Smith mon Act of 1948 I'll bet most of you have heard of that right it's something that Democrats have no idea about so the Smith Mont act allowed uh or CIA or whatever it was at the time to do propaganda broadcasts in other countries so we could literally try to brainwash other countries but it was very carefully um you know walled so they couldn't do that in America now the the conser ative story or the Maga story is that when Obama came in office he he changed the part about uh being able to do it domestically so the very the purpose of it and nobody nobody argues that this is the purpose so both sides would agree this is the purpose the purpose of sending media to other countries is to control their minds it's brainwashing it's propaganda and nobody nobody argues that so that part nobody argues because we're okay propagandizing other countries you know they do it to us we do it to them but the magga people would say yes but that all stopped that all stopped when Obama said you can also use that same material that was used to propag propagandize other countries you can now use it internally so I asked grock if that's true and he said no that's not true here's what grock says the only change that was made was that if you wanted to get some of that external propaganda for research just for research you could request it and it would not be denied you that's what grock says grock is the most I think the most or the least censored AI GR says that's Gru says that nothing like that happened there was there was no authorization for the CIA to brainwash Americans that didn't happen the only thing they did was this little technical change that allowed somebody to request something if they want to do some research do you believe that I don't know I'm going to say I don't know I don't think that the Smith bunt Act is terribly important to what we're seeing today in other words you could see everything we're seeing whether or not the smithm ACT did or did not do anything so I think maybe it's just a distraction uh not an intentional distraction but rather a distraction to spend much time thinking about it because we could argue all day whether that act has any difference but we could also just look at the difference we could just look at what people doing and that's probably all you need so um the CIA specifically would be um not allowed to use that stuff but what about an NGO do you think an NGO a non-government organization that gets funded by the government do you think it could look at some of the propaganda and then repurpose it for the United States because I don't think anything says that a non CIA entity can't do it do you think the CIA could ask somebody else to do it for them do you think they could uh talk to the Washington Post I'll just use them as an example it's not an accusation just an example could the CIA say Hey you know I'm having lunch with a journalist and you know there's this interesting story happening over in uh Europe right now and uh might be some some application in the United States maybe the US market would like this story too and then it's not really the CIA that's using it to propagandize they're just lunch it's just a conversation it's just lunch so if you have lunch with your favorite journalist and you you happen to know about a story that's a you know kind of big in another country maybe they'd be interested in looking at that story and how it plays out in this country so I think if we're looking at the technical language of the law and this Smith Mont act and what it does do and what it doesn't do and how it was revised probably were just going down the rabbit hole for no reason because you don't even need to be in that hole everything that you care about know about everything that matters it can all be deduced without any reference to the Smith mon act because the one thing we can all be sure of is that any entity in the United States could get around that without any effort it basically has no teeth because there's nothing that would stop me from uh let's say looking at some media in another country and saying oh I think I'll say that on social media because that looked good to me that's not illegal I could do it I'm just a citizen I just saw some stuff and I thought it'd be a good story so it couldn't possibly be true that Smith M Mont either caused anything or prevented anything it would be far more reasonable to say it doesn't do anything it's like it's like you can forget that whole story you know from the magga perspective it it kind of gave some meat to a belief but you don't need it you got plenty all right so that's the first thing I found now also you might know that operation Mockingbird was the CIA literally in the 50s and 60s um they had favored uh news entities and journalists that they influenced including the Washington Post in the New York Times well well they were implicated so grock doesn't say they were guilty GL grock says they were implicated all right so and it it remains to be seen according to grock whether they were really guilty of that but I think most of us believe that uh the operation Mockingbird was real and so that means in my lifetime in my lifetime the' 60s the CIA was was managing our news and they don't have to manage every news entity because if you get the washingon post and the New York Times everybody else just follows them they're they're called the newsmakers meaning that until it's in one of those entities at least in the 60s it wasn't really news so if a local newspaper had a big story nobody cared didn't go anywhere it has to be in the New York Times or the New York or the Washington Post in those days that was before you know internet so allegedly there was this church Committee in the 70s that exposed this um this evil and then it was ended do you do you think it was ended because it became illegal let's go back to lunch shall we hey favorite journalist who works for the Washington Post would you like to have lunch uh I work for the CIA and I know lots of things that maybe off the Record you'd like to know too all right well it's just lunch so let's have lunch all right here's here's a scoop let me tell you this scoop and they give him a real scoop and the journalist says wow that was worth it I'm glad I went to lunch with that guy and then maybe later you know he needs some context on the story and he contacts that CIA guy and says hey you know I'm doing a story on this do you have any context and CIA guy adds it makes his story better journalist is now killing it he's got two great stories thanks to the CIA contact and then there's another lunch the CI cont CIA contact says you know what God this terrible Trump guy wow yeah I I don't know what the world's going to do with this Trump Trump trump guy trying to break all of our democracy and doing racist things you know what's your newspaper doing about Trump well I I don't know I mean I haven't I don't have any stories about that you know you really should think about it because it really is the biggest story in my opinion I mean I'm not telling you any CIA stuff and and of course the CIA can't tell you to do it but wow it's the biggest story uh how are you missing that and the next thing you know the journalist does not believe that they have been influenced by the CIA they just just think they have a good good idea for a story now this is just an example of course but if you think that the law or any kind of law like the uh Church committee or whatever they found and whatever whatever law changed if you think the law can prevent somebody from having lunch what world do you live in all they need is a conversation you don't think that the CIA is trained and how to manipulate some somebody into doing what they want that's exactly what they're trained to do not just in America but to anybody if you sit down with somebody who's trained to persuade you you're going to leave that meeting a little bit persuaded so you don't really need to do anything illegal it's just lunch just lunch what that uh okay that's bad all right so I would ignore the fact that there were any legal changes about what the CIA can or cannot do sometimes it's the CIA sometimes it's the state department sometimes it's the Pentagon so when I say the CIA did this or that what I mean is any of those entities because they're they're sort of joined at the hip for a lot of stuff um so let me tell you what the magga belief is and then we'll we see how it connected to reality is so the mega belief is that the CIA developed a bunch of tools allegedly for influencing other countries but they ended up turning those tools on uh the populist movement of trump because stopping populists in other countries was mainly what they did and stopping a uh Trump populist movement was apparently some say allegedly what they did next now we know that there was some effort to um censor Americans by controlling foreign entities so if a foreign fake fact Checker kept saying that X or something was fake well then the European countries could say well uh according to our fake fact Checker that's paid by usaid just as an example I don't know if they are um according to the fake fact Checkers this this one Elon Musk owned plow form is just full of lies and Nazis so I guess we can just ban it which would put X out of business so we're we do know that our own government intentionally not by accident got a whole bunch of fake entities in other countries that that we funded to do things that we couldn't do legally in this country so it might have been technically legal but certainly a violation of everything we care about constitutionally so we know that's true so here are the things we know are true um I'm not going to read that comment but it's very funny uh the things we know are true are that the our own government has done a bunch of color Revolutions in other countries now if you don't know what a color Revolution is it's because a lot of these coups that are usually instigated by America um they often have a color associated with them not always sometimes there'll be some other some other label but let me just give you an example of some some color revolutions now let I should tell you that the way they do the color Revolution is they first do capacity building this is also Mike Ben's narrative uh the capacity building means we we bribe or somehow get control of various things within the country we're targeting so if we could uh let's say briber control their Media or any part of it that'd be a big part of it if we can control Union heads they could tell the unions what to do that'd be a big part of it uh if we can control the universities so we're educating the young people to be against their own government and for us and you would try to control minority groups because they're the ones most likely to say hey the government's not serving us we better overthrow it so uh if you saw USA going into a country and even if they said oh we're going to help you with your terrible problems it it is it is verified that in a number of cases some would say not 100% Mike Ben might say 100% but that the CIA rides on the charity to get into the country and then do its CIA thing and that all of the Charities are basically cover for that activity because we don't do anything for another country unless it has a domestic purpose and the domestic purpose is controlling other countries so that's the that's the claim so this is the narrative on the right so if you if somebody were running a color revolution in the United States we know what to look for and I'll tell you that in a minute but here are some of the examples uh in 2000 Serbia had a bulldozzer revolution so they didn't have a color yet the colors came later there was a rose revolution in Georgia 2003 there was an orange revolution in Ukraine in 2004 there was a tulip revolution in kyrgistan 2005 Cedar revolution in Lebanon 2005 jees Revolution Belarus 2006 saffron Revolution Myanmar 2007 green movement Iran 2009 Velvet Revolution Armenia 2018 some say that eurom Maiden which is also Ukraine that came later the Arab Spring in Hong Kong protest and Belarus protest are sometimes also labeled as color revolutions that's according to grock so so this comes from grock now did you know how many there were that's kind of a lot and I think this is not a complete list I think maybe it's just you know the bigger countries we're all we've all heard of um so here are the things we know for sure there have been decades in which the CIA um controlled Americans by brainwashing us through the media that's not questioned by anybody left right we all agree on that some say has stopped happening but they are morons they are morons there's no way to stop that from happening domestically there's no way you know when I watch a movie like Top Gun it's all rah Americans are good at flying planes I don't think that happens by itself you know I think they maybe you know Tom Cruz makes amazing movies and he has the power to do any movie he wants and that and that was an obvious sequel but I know do you think that's totally without any influence by our government I don't know I have no evidence that it is but it's exactly what they do so I don't know well now let's go to 2016 tie it all together Trump wins unexpectedly how did Trump win unexpectedly because the bad guys failed to believe it was true there was such a thing as shy Trump supporters that's right the smartest people in our government you know the Spooks and the spies and the FBI and all the smart politicians they all believed it wasn't real when people like me were saying uh you know what's coming right you know that you've made it impossible to say out loud who you who you support and you know it's so you can't even tell your spouse and you know it's so bad that if a pollster calls and you do support Trump you're not going to take the call you know it's so bad you might be lying to your own spouse about who you support now that's what they missed now I didn't miss it I was saying it almost every day almost every day I said you gotta watch out shy Trump supporters it's way bigger than you think and there's a logical obvious reason for it because you've made it imp possible to go public with your beliefs and so sure enough Trump wins unexpectedly and then what do you think happened so one of the one of the tricks that the color revolutions use is to say that Russia or or somebody else is behind who is in office now so you can get a you can get a Revolution going if you can say oh the current leader is a Russian puppet see where this is going what was the main attack on Trump literally that he was a Russian puppet this is textbook this is guaranteed every time if you if the America tries to overthrow a populist the first thing they say is that's not a populist that's a Russian puppet and watch how hard they've pushed on the Russian puppet thing and now as I was saying the prairie dogs the people who have exposed themselves as you know being part of the corrupt machine they were the ones pushing it Hillary Clinton to this day is pushing the Russia the Russia puppet thing about Trump it's not an accident if if if all they wanted to do was say there's bad things about Trump you would just say a million different things but the fact that they converged on a whole madeup Russia puppet thing that's textbook 100% indication that they turned their external to TOS internally it's not proof but it would be the biggest coincidence in the world um especially since it wasn't true if it were true then you just say well it was just true but they made it up and we know that they made it up and then uh let's see what about the capacity building if we were doing capacity building in other places we would fund things like universities huh look at our univers full of leftist anti-populist uh look at our media huh the media seems completely controlled just like we would do to another country if we wanted to take it over how about uh racial groups oh black lives matter well suddenly we can make a story on of this George Floyd thing that if it had been based on the facts would have been no story at all but if you control the media you can turn the George Floyd story into a St about rampant uh racial problems in the country that's exactly what we would do to another country how about antifa and by the way BLM was funded by us Aid did you know that um what about antifa well I don't know where they came from but they disappeared as soon as Trump was out of office and given that they're supposed to be anarchists they should be just as mad as Biden at Biden as they would have been at Trump they're anarchists are you telling me the anarchists like Democrats oh that's Joe Biden yeah that's fine but you're an anarchist yeah yeah uh but only when Trump's in office right none of this ever made sense it's obviously external what about the charlotesville uh op to me I think it's so obvious that the Charlottesville thing was a government op it's exactly what you would do exactly what you do to overthrow another country you would have some kind of event that showed the the uh racial minorities that they better act because they're in trouble you better act you better get to the streets you better vote well that looks suspiciously right on point doesn't it now what about District Attorneys is there any history in which we tried to control the district attorneys in another country for the benefit of overthrowing the government have you heard of Joe Biden and his trip to Ukraine in which he said if you don't get rid of that um prosecutor you can't have money from was it from USA somebody said it was but I don't know if that's true so we watched the first thing Biden had to do is get rid of the prosecutor and get one in there that he liked what did the Democrats and usaid and George Soros fund they funded friendly Das and attorney generals so that they can control prosecutions against who they wanted to prosecute and then they engaged them and then they went after Trump all the law fair is the same thing we would do in another country to control their government we would the same thing we would just find some fake reason that the uh Das and the the law has to go after them and they would be our people the law would be basically bribed by us so that looks like exactly what's happening Leticia James is still yelling she's going to be suing Trump and trying to put him in jail she's still saying it um the other thing you'd want to do is if you're were taking over another country you'd want to you'd want to weaponize their Department of Justice like I just said but also if they had an FBI or something like that you'd want to control them too these are all the things that happened to us now is it a coincidence that the precise exact tools that are used in other countries and there's a long list of times we've used them and they're wellestablished tools nobody nobody's doubting that those are the tools and also nobody would doubt what I just described there was a Russia collusion hoax there was our University's media black lives matter antifa are clearly fake uh I say the charlottesv thing was fake because it never happened again I mean that's your that's your ultimate signal if that had been real even after they all got in trouble there would have been some second wave third wave even if it were smaller but no it just disappeared okay it was never real the racists were real but obviously was organized by some dark entity that was trying to mess with the United States um so that's what we got going and of course we know that in the United States uh EI and climate change and trans rights became our big uh weapons to use against who oh it just turns out that all of those things can be used against the populist huh coincidence right that the things that you said to yourself why are these the top story they shouldn't be the top story even if you think they're important it's all fake so when Mike Ben says there's no such thing as domestic policy does that make sense now even getting rid of trump is for the benefit of our International policy and the things that they use to get rid of them that you think are domestic policy are only to get rid of them now there of course there are people who agree with all these policies but that's not why they're the big thing the reason anything that become becomes a big thing is because somebody the curtains pushing it it doesn't become a big big thing on its own all right so um did I already talk about Thomas Massie who says that USA is gutted but I can't tell if I thought about talking about it or talking about so Thomas Massie was saying that the omnius might just put USA all back together I think I told you that but yeah so that might happen so we have a self-healing criminal system uh there's also something called DRL according to American Thinker John kski is writing about this um here's what that is something that uh started under Carter DRL and it's a has some human rights agenda and foreign policy and Central and practically independent element of American foreign Poli policy so the thinking is that that's just another one of these you know USA things like USA but different entity in other news Iran has unveiled its first drone carrier so it's like a um an aircraft carrier except for drones only and it's already launched so apparently Iran will now have the power to project drone swarms wherever they want uh I'd like to make a prediction about the fate of their new their new craft I'm going to give it uh 6 months before a catastrophic mechanical problem causes it to blow up and Port just a guess I think it might have a terrible terrible mechanical problem that hey if they if they' done a better job of building it it wouldn't have happened but sadly probably because they're bad engineering they're going to make a carrier that just explodes on its own really and we weren't even anywhere near it so don't look at us it just exploded on its own Israel I don't know what you're talking about no sometimes things just explode on their own it's very bad very bad luck uh but Trump is calling for in terms of Iran he wants a verified nuclear peace agreement and he's he's sort of talking like a president um in a good way he said uh I would much prefer a verified nuclear peace agreement which will let Iran peacefully grow and prosper I like how Trump always says don't you want to prosper you know that that's his go-to for every adversarial country how about we just stop fighting each other and you just make a bunch of money how about that because it's a pretty appealing concept to at least the public if not the leaders um he said uh we don't want to be tough on Iran we don't want to be tough on anybody uh but they just can't have a nuclear bomb now I love the clarity of that I love the clarity you're not going to have a nuclear weapon when when Israel says it you know they mean it as well but you wonder if the United States might prevent them to for doing what it might take to get rid of it you know such as you know bunker busting bombs on nuclear facilities in Iran so you don't necessarily think that Israel would have the the green light to do what needs to be done in Iran but what if Trump says you do when Trump says the one thing I'll guarantee is you're not going to get a nuclear weapon what that tells me is what Trump always says which is everything's on the table so if Israel come let's say that nothing good happens with Iran and there's no progress and there's no talks and there's not going to be do you think that Trump is going to stop Israel from taking out their nuclear facilities I don't I think they have a green light but not yet we're going to see if Iran will you know just want to join the the peaceful world um you know now that their proxy have been decimated it's a whole different conversation so it's the best time in the world to be negotiating with Iran but I love the fact that we have the capability of bombing to all of their nuclear facilities no matter how underground they are and that it's green light so you can talk to us about stopping it yourself or will'll stop it but the question of whether it will be stopped is asked and answered yeah you don't see see this is important if you act like it's a negotiation it will beat one so the mistake would be to say we need to have a negotiation about your n nuclear program nope fail you failed before you started as soon as you say it's a negotiation then they just drag it out and they fake it and nothing happens if you say you're not going to have a nuclear weapon everybody knows what that means it means that there's nothing we won't do to stop it meaning we would nuke you I don't think that's going to happen but we'd nuke them before we' let them have a nuclear weapon there's no limit to what we'd be willing to do now once you start your negotiations with all right this thing's not going to happen and now here's your decision so he's see again he's making him think P the sale the sale is do you do nuclear or not he's saying that's solved now that we've solved you're not going to have nuclear CU we have the power notice how he does this Trump always tells people that he has the power so you can stop thinking about it I've decided wow what's this breaking news Egypt says it will work with Partners to reconstruct Gaza without Palestinians leaving the strip that sounds like a non-starter but back to Trump look how good the technique is and you could take this with yourself and I've used this by the way I've used this technique a number of times and when I do it always works it works every time you never let it be a discussion whether they can have the thing that you don't want them to have the thing you only tell them how they can lose it all right we're not talking about whether you can have it that's already settled we're going to talk about how you don't have it do you not have it because you decided to play nice and then you make money we make money and everybody's happy or did you decide to do it by losing your control over your own country while we just decimate your nuclear program and good luck picking up the pieces so I don't think anybody's ever put it in those terms before where the question of whether you're going to have it is now taken off the table that's asked and answered and settled you are not going to have it because we do have the power Trump has 100% of the ability to take it away from so he just said you don't have it so now you only get to decide what path you take to not have it with bombs or no bombs that is good technique you know see sometimes the things that he says are so ordinary looking that you don't realize how deep the technique is what he said I don't believe anybody said it quite the way he said it but also this is important because he's Trump they think he would carry through with a threat if Biden says uh we I'd love to see Biden's language maybe you can do a fact check on me find me some quotes from Biden and I'll bet you it says things like uh we're going to work really hard to make sure Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon fail fail complete failure uh we don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon fail fail fail you you you already killed yourself before you started if you say you're not going to have a nuclear weapon now let's talk about how that happens whole different narrative I mean completely different frame and that's that's what Trump does better than anybody all right uh according to Popular Science there's a company that's building an underwater homes that you could live in for extended times they're for research but maybe someday they'll be underwater homes all right that's all I have I ran way too long I'm going to say hi to the locals people privately I hope you like this uh it's really hard understanding all the various layers of of things but I think we're getting closer so locals I'm coming at you privately if you're on xor rumble or You.
Tube thanks for joining I'll be here tomorrow same time same place remember to sign up to subscribe to Dilbert Reborn e e e e
well there you are checking in in the

little bit today took quite a hit this
week let's see the uh comments and then
we start the
show want to make sure I can see all
your Genius
comments all
right I think we're in good shape
now good morning everybody and welcome
to the highlight of human civilization
scull coffee with Scott Adams and wow do
we have a lot to cover today 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 cover mugger a
glass of tanker chal Ain a canteen jug a
flask a vessel of any kind fill it with
your favorite liquid I like the coffeee
join me now for the unparallel pleasure
the dopamine here of the day thing makes
everything better it's called the
simultaneous sip
go uh it's the elixir of the Gods I
wonder if there are any new stories
about the benefits of drinking coffee
checking notes yes there is according to
get surri Ellen Jen writes that drinking
one extra cup of sugar-free coffee a day
is linked to weight
loss uh I believe that I'm only a few
cups away from disappearing totally if
you get if you get uh if there's less of
you the more you drink coffee I'm about
ready to disappear so that's how I'm
going to go just drink coffee until I
don't
exist if you're following the Dilbert
kic that you can only watch if you're on
the locals platform but there's a lot of
political stuff on there if you don't
want that that's not for you but if you
just want to see the comic that has
continued since my cancellation two
years ago it's called dilbur reborn and
you can get it on the xplatform just hit
the subscription button and here's what
you would be finding you would find that
the new comic will tell you uh the
problem with hiring the low bid
Hitman yeah so dog B is in the role of a
Hitman and you see what happens when you
take the low bid for your Hitman doesn't
go well but here's the more interesting
thing I also publish that whatever comic
ran exactly 10 years ago from whatever
date today is so the comics that ran
exactly 10 years ago are so on point for
right now it's about humanoid robots
being introduced into Dilbert's house
and you know what goes wrong and oh my
god did I call it 10 years ago you have
to see it to see how OnPoint it is for
today anyway so go take a look at that
in other news yay well we'll get to the
hard news in a minute I I like to ease
you into it with some lesser hard news
so apparently yay is making a buzz on
social media I think he's got a new
album out and he's apparently off his
meds and I'm not going to tell you any
of the things that he said in all caps
shouting like crazy X but let me tell
you um he looks like he's off his meds
it it's uh it's just absolute mental
illness there there's no other way to no
other way to look at it he says he's off
his meds by the way he thinks he was
misdiagnosed as
bipolar so now he thinks he's
autistic he is not
autistic I'm pretty sure that's not
right but I don't know we'll see
in other news is simulation alert
simulation alert simulation alert
everybody simulation
alert here's how you know you live in a
simulation the confirmation vote for the
new budget
Chief Democrats try to delay it they try
to delay the vote for somebody named
Russ
vote that's right his name sounds like
Rush the vote vote and they delayed the
vote for Rush
vote that's all that's the whole story
simulation
alert uh meanwhile there's a Michigan
Democrat state legislator who decided to
announce that she's going to sterilize
herself actually already has to avoid
giving birth in Donald Trump's
America according to the Gateway pundit
Colin linberger Lineberger
Barger
um so I would regard this as a
combination of mental
illness and probably something she
wanted to do anyway that had nothing to
do with anything she's 36 hasn't had a
kid I guess you so I don't know how much
sex she was having but uh she won't be
having any extra
Democrats in the most important story of
the entire year
uh one of the Doge team members used to
go by the name a secret name online big
balls and Big Balls said some
pretty pretty inappropriate
things yeah pretty inappropriate um and
uh once that all came out um you would
be surprised to hear there's somebody
who was once working for
usaid but now works for the Wall Street
Journal uh outed that Doge person huh
feels like everything's coming together
and now we understand every time you
hear that somebody like you know Liz
Cheney came out of the you know was or
AOC were birthed by the US Aid funding
you have to say to yourself
H is this really describing the entire
structure we see that all the people
that we know to be turds came from the
same place that would be kind of of a
big
coincidence anyway um so the best part
is that CNN uh did did a part in this in
which Aaron Bernett and Cara
swisser um were talking about it because
uh you just can't have somebody working
on your team named Big Balls who once
said offensive things online under a
suud name anyway what's the point of
having a pseudonym if you can't if you
can't be
anonymous um but here's the best
part I believe that the media thought
that they would um hurt musk and his
effort by making giving a lot of
attention to big
balls and I don't think they know much
about Elon Musk because Big Balls is the
funniest thing you could possibly do and
the more you talk about it on CNN the
happier I
am I think you should do the the whole
segment on Big Balls there should be
more of a special i' like to see them
delve deeper into it but here's the
thing uh and I love the fact that they
thought they were defeating the monster
you know they would think that Elon Musk
is the monster and so the way they
thought they would defeat him is talking
about Big
Balls that's really feeding the monster
I mean if you're really afraid of him
don't feed him stories about Big Balls
he's going to dining on that all day so
to speak so there's one thing missing
with this story and I think you can all
tell what's missing you know what's
missing right it doesn't have a clever
name yet so we need to have some kind of
a name to talk about this Scandal about
the Big
Balls uh I'm going to go first uh I'm
going to call it a scrotum gate scrotum
gate everybody in do you like that so
whenever we talk about it it'll just be
scrotum gate now uh Elon is running a
poll on X to see if uh he should bring
back the the equ quit by the way Big
Balls quit once the news got out and I
can understand that but
uh Elon wants to bring him back now
here's my take if somebody who is a
teenager or 19 years old uh said
something that we all agree is
absolutely inappropriate but did it
anonymously ly did it
anonymously I don't have a problem with
it because every 19-year-old boy is
saying deeply inappropriate things all
the time and if he was doing it
anonymously he knew that it was not
something that you could put in the
public domain somebody else put it in
the public
domain
so my problem is not with anything you
said um because I just I just can't
blame a 19-year-old for having inapo
especially a man a 19-year-old male it's
all we have is inappropriate thoughts do
you understand what a 19-year-old male
is that is a person who is non-stop
inappropriate thoughts that's all we do
at that age do we grow out of it
sometimes sometimes not all the
time anyway big balls might be back but
we'll keep an eye on scrotum gate Fox
News says that a big consulting firm PWC
they going to have a big conference this
summer uh trying to get uh high-
performing college students an
opportunity to work for their company oh
that's good yeah big consulting company
wants to make sure that the high
performing students get to check out
their job offerings oh wait is
specifically excludes white and Asian
applicants so it's a Dei policy or
something like it so apparently not
everybody got the
memo that if you openly discriminate
against white and Asian
applicants it's not going to end
well it might not go your way in the
long run so maybe rethink breaking the
law all right I got to look at this
comment because it looks
interesting uh Ron Paul says on X look
behind the curtain has revealed a
horrific truth nearly the entire
mainstream media worldwide has been
funded by the US government under the
USA from the BBC to the New York Times
and Politico at this point it might be
easier to find out who USA does not
funded well that does seem approximately
true and I I saw a video online I
couldn't tell if it's a new one or an
old one I think it's an old one so you
tell me it was Pam Bondi talking about
how many times Bill Clinton had been on
the Lolita Express with Jeffrey Epstein
apparently he he'd
uh he he hadn't been on the plane just a
couple of times he'd been on there
multiple times and traveled
internationally with
Epstein
and uh that that plane had a bed in it
that's all you need to
know um and apparently they stayed
friends for years whereas Trump you know
removed him from his life fairly early
on so is that a new
clip a new one or an old one what's all
the
[Music]
27s um all
right so that's out
there so Trump has uh tried to fire the
Federal Election Commission commissioner
Ellen wi drob but she says it's illegal
in the president campire we'll see but
she was appointed by Bush and apparently
the they can only be replaced if they
resign or their term
expires what let me read that
again according to Legal experts an FEC
commissioner can only be replaced if
they resign or their term
expires
wait what
who the has a job that they can't
be fired from who the has a job
that they can't be fired from unless
you're elected and even if you're
elected you can be fired you
know it's got it's got to be an
impeachment but there's a process are
you telling me that there's somebody in
our government who's in charge of the
elections who can't be fired are
you serious I hope I I hope I'm reading
this wrong do I have this wrong the most
important person the head of the spear
for our entire democracy can't be
fired oh my
God you you think that the well of
corruption and and Badness is
deep I've never seen anything like that
have you have you ever heard of somebody
who can't be fired for any
reason that can't be right there there
must be everybody can be fired for call
right but apparently not according to
Legal
experts
wow the Daily Mail has a uh has a story
that looks fake to me um they're saying
that there's unconfirmed
plans that Trump's trying to end the
Ukraine war in 100
days and uh that he wants to get a
ceasefire by April
20th and that the deal would freeze
Russia's uh place they get to keep what
they have Ukraine would not join
NATO and uh and that would be the deal
now I guess this comes from a sketchy
source and then the daily mail picked it
up so it's two sketchy
sources uh the daily mail is not uh full
propaganda but it's not right 100% of
the time either you know like most
things so I don't think this is anything
but maybe a test balloon my best gu
guess is that it's a way for the
government to float an idea to see what
people think of it so as an idea of
floating test balloon is a good one but
I don't think it's a real story feels
like just testing out the
water we'll
see so uh Senator fedman uh has weighed
in on the RFK Jr and Tulsi gabard um
nominations and he will not vote for
them so you will not vote for either
gabri or Kennedy now we don't absolutely
need his vote because Republicans can
get it through if they're all together
but I was uh I was amused by Nicole
Shanahan's uh reply to the EXP poost
about this uh I'll just paraphrase um
she said it better but you know here's
here's just my summary the Federman is a
slob who wears gim clothes and doesn't
go to the
gym he's a slob who wears gym clothes
all day and doesn't go to the gym in
other
words health is not high on his list all
right so here's somebody who apparently
doesn't have any appreciation for good
human health or he would act like it
he'd go to the gym he'd lose weight he
need write he do he acts like he has no
appreciation for the biggest issue in
the whole country which which is our
kids have chronic diseases and they'll
have no good life that's a pretty big
problem and he's against it separately
fedman also said that he thought the
Democrats don't have much chance of
winning men
back because he he said he's been
warning about it and that the Democrats
become sort of the uh party of whiny
women and that not only were white males
leaving the Democrat Party
but black men Hispanic men and it's
pretty Broad and obvious change but the
interesting thing is he thinks they
can't get it back meaning that Federman
believes he is in the party that's
anti-men that would be according to all
the men who change sides because they
want to be on the side that's not
anti-men Dei is anti-men
what do we got
here
um H okay so Ellen wob the head of the F
that Trump is trying to get rid of um
she once was in private practice at
Perkins
Koy so if you recommend if you
understand Perkins koi that's like the
the heart of the Democrat legal dirty
tricks well I won't call them that I'll
just say they're the the legal arm of
the Democrats where much has been
done the Republicans don't like so we
can see why Trump's getting rid of her
it makes sense but uh let me close on
the
Federman so fedman knows that he's on
the anti-male
team and he stays
there now if he tried to become a
republican I'm sorry you've that door is
very closed right now you're not going
to become a republican if you're turning
down uh Kennedy you're dead I mean not
physically dead you're done as a
political entity that anybody on the
Republican side's going to care about so
you're you're a piece of from my
perspective and you should expect that
Scott pressler's coming for your job not
to take the job but to make sure that
there are more Republicans uh registered
in Pennsylvania and he said so by the
way I'm not speculating Scott presler
Nicole Shanahan they're going to take
him
out and I I don't know if that means
he'll be primaried but that's what
Nicole Shanahan promised that she'd be
primarying people who go the wrong
direction on the Kennedy vote and Scott
presler says it directly you know we're
coming after you basically so fedman I
think his political fortunes are now
over cuz he just made an unrecoverable
error um allegedly according to
wired um Elon Musk doge is working on a
on a chatbot so they're going to create
a chatbot called GS allegedly and it
would be part of you know maybe maybe
some of it would be to
analyze the complexities that doge is
looking into but some of it would be
maybe a replacement for some of the
functions of the government you know if
you had a really good AI it could do a
lot of stuff now I'm a skeptic because
my own experience with trying to create
an AI agent even though it was last
summer and a lot has changed I don't
believe AI can do that I don't believe
AI can create an agent that can do
General stuff that a human could do I I
don't think it's anywhere near it so the
AI is super smart but when you try to
get it to do of the job of a
[Music]
person it's uh you know it hallucinates
and it's hard to know when it's going to
do it they can't look up data reliably
so the only way it would work is if it's
sort of a interface layer but all of the
real important work is just regular
programming you know just it initiates
something that looks into a database
that's not AI so if it's the interface
for things that are not AI it could be
great so I don't want to Jud I
obviously let me just say the obvious
the people who are working on this know
a lot more than I do about AI so if they
think it can work you would be kind of
dumb for me to bet against it but I
don't it's not my understanding that it
can work unless it's just an interface
to regular programming we'll see someday
it will work I don't think it's there
yet all right you know we're going to
talk about us Aid I got more to say
about that but Thomas M
uh says now if you're brand new I'll
just give you the the quick update USA
is a 50 billion dollar whatever funded
entity within the government that um
does things for the state department
sometimes the CIA sometimes the Pentagon
this is the Mike Ben's explanation of
the world and uh it's been basically
gutted by Doge for all the alleged waste
and you know fraud
um the waste would be funding things
that are not good for anybody that would
be the claim but Thomas Massie says I'm
concerned that the House and Senate will
fully fund us Aid in March just like we
did in December although he voted
against it he said the argument from
Republican leadership will be that they
need Democrat votes to pass the
omnius to avoid a government
shutdown oh my
God I hate how right he is so Massie is
pretty good at seeing around corners and
telling you what's
coming uh how do we beat
that because the whole omnius thing is a
it's essentially a criminal process it's
a criminal process because it allows the
people of congress to not do their job
and get tons of money for things that
will help them get
reelected I don't know if it's
illegal but certainly in
intention and in you know in a de facto
way it's just criminal the the let me
say it again the Omnibus is when they
put all the spending in one big thing
and you could just say yes or no but
they put all kinds of crap in there and
then they say well if you say no to the
crap you're the one who shut down the
government and children will die which
is an
exaggeration so yeah we have a system
that guarantees that usaid will be fully
funded think about
that we just nuked
it and it the the corrupt government is
so Advanced at this point it's evolved
almost to its own creature the
corruption is
self-healing we have a
selfhealing
corruption designed
machine if you take out the heart of the
machine us Aid that might be the most
important beating organ in the whole
machine completely
removed and in one month it could be
reinstated because it's a self-healing
corrupt system and they'll just use the
Omnibus as the argument for why it must
be refunded now if it's not done with
the omnius and I don't know what would
stop it uh they could do the same thing
with onesies and twozies well but this
one's important well you cut all the
funding but but this one's important but
this one's important and just try to
wear down Marco Rubio and the state
department which absorbed the usaid
function so let me tell you if you if
you think usaid is defeated not even
close we're not even close to defeating
it it it's sort of like the Terminator
you know you okay good news we shot the
Terminator uhoh he's reforming he's
self-healing so it's coming for
you did you know according to Leslie Kim
movitz I don't know if this is uh I
don't know if this is a good source or
not but it's a good example of the kind
of news I'm seeing on social media I'll
give you the following warning there
will be claims about USA funding that
are not
true Trump just reversed the Biden
decision on plastic
straws we're getting our plastic straws
back yes USA's coming back but so are
plastic straws so it's it's a tie all
right so according to Leslie kajim and
remember the the umbrella for this story
and a lot of others is they might not be
true there going to be a whole bunch of
claims about us Aid funding that if you
looked into it it might mean not exactly
what the claim is but could be close but
the claim is that usaid in 2016 gave
$310 million of taxpayer money to a
Palestinian cement
factory well now on the surface you'd
say to yourself well if you're going to
you know have a modern country and you
going to develop you're going to need
some cement so maybe we funded the one
of the main things they needed to to
rebuild this good quality local
cement I wonder where the cement went
well maybe some of it went for factories
to build some factories maybe some
housing but maybe it's how they built
their Hamas
tunnels so the the real concern is is
that no matter what our intentions were
it may have
been just you know siphoned off and
taken to build not siphoned off but they
would have they would have actually
built the cement plant but the cement
plant may have been allegedly some part
of the tunnel building 310 million do
you think we got our money's worth
there um I don't know that one that one
feels a little too on the nose doesn't
it
remember I tell you the one way to spot
fake news quickly is it's too perfect
what would be the most perfect story
somebody could make up about us Aid the
most perfect story would be it built the
Hamas
tunnels now it might
have I'm not saying it didn't happen I'm
saying oh boy is that one right on the
nose so if you have to bet on it
I don't know if it's a safe bet it's a
little too clean so just be just beware
that when you hear these stories that a
little too perfect there may be a reason
they're too perfect but they also might
be true so it's hard to say um yesterday
I posted an X that uh it seems to me
that maybe we could close the entire
budget Gap the deficit the entire thing
just by getting rid of
Fraud and that's a big claim right cuz
we're talking about $2
trillion so I honestly think that if we
got rid of all fraud in all forms of the
government from military to Medicare
fraud to everything else we might close
the entire
Gap and I thought well you know it just
it's just how it feels it's not really
haven't done the math but Elon Musk saw
that comment that I made and he modified
it in the comments he said uh that maybe
get a fraud would close oneir to 1/ half
of the
deficit one half of the deficit is a
trillion
dollars a trillion dollars per year not
a trillion dollars over many years one
year now that's the person who's looked
into it the closest he knows more than
any of us now about what he's found and
maybe even what he's likely to find he
thinks there be a trillion dollars of
something that we might call Waste or
fraud I think that's
right I think it's a
trillion at least you know I thought it
was
two but I'm going to go with his
estimate because he's closer to
it um here are some examples Jesse
Waters had a good rundown on some of the
examples of things that us Aid was doing
now here's the
problem and I'll get get into this in
more detail the the fake news the
corporate news is reporting that the
usaid is a charitable organization doing
all kinds of good things all over the
world and
um and that defunding it means that
people will die by the millions so
people will die so when Jesse and other
people give the list of the fake looking
wastes of money and I'm I'm going to
list them in moment you might say to
yourself
oh uh if we get rid of the fake ones
then all we'll have left is the real
charity and maybe the real charity makes
sense some people would say now the fake
news is covering this like it's a
charity being removed
story The Real News the magga Republican
version of what's happening is that USA
is always been a fake
organization that is designed to
overthrow other countries and and also
control the United
States so those are completely different
stories but here's what's
interesting the fake news is pretending
like there's only one version of The
Narrative they're not even telling you
that the other narrative is
wrong they're just ignoring
it what's that tell you if they told you
that the narrative that it's you know a
c IIA front if they told you that was
not true and they said why and they
showed their work well then maybe you
could compare their version with what
other sources are saying and maybe make
up your own mind but they're acting like
there's only one
narrative they're actually
ignoring the main claim and the main
claim is the
biggest the biggest scandal in American
history you know maybe since I don't
know maybe since slavery
but it's the biggest story I've ever
seen since I've been alive would you
agree I mean Wars are big in their own
way so you know you can't ignore Wars
but in terms of a scandal this is the
biggest one I've ever seen by a thousand
this is not even close to anything I've
ever seen this is enormous
that's one
narrative why can they ignore what half
of the country thinks is true and is
digging into the details of it and
completely coming up to
speed they're just ignoring it now that
tells you that they're fake news so if
you're wondering are they fake news yes
turns out they are um here are some the
things Jesse Waters says they funded uh
$6 million for tourism in Egypt
because Egypt certainly couldn't do any
tourism without an extra $6
million you know as Jesse points out
they have
pyramids they have pyramids you you'd be
you'd be lucky if you could stop people
from going there I mean you'd have to
close the border to stop all the people
who want to go in there to look at the
pyramids the one thing they don't
need is some help with a tourist
destination because again they've got
pyramids they have pyramids all
right $2 million help the British
Broadcasting Company value the diversity
of Libyan
Society I didn't make that up we're
paying the
BBC British
entity um how to Value the diversity of
Libyan Society now that can't be real
how is Is that real uh $1 million for a
gay group in
Armenia
what what 20 million for Iraqi Sesame
Street okay 2 million for Trans
surgeries in
Guatemala um 235 million to the National
Democratic Institute H well well that
sounds sounds fine right we like
democracy and sounds like that's what
they're working on it's right in the
name so 235 million uh but um a lot of
that money went to executive
compensation so the the real meaning of
all this funding is everything about the
government funding seems to be a way for
Democrats to get a Payday and some
anti-trump Republicans they all seem to
have one foot in some form of either us
Aid or somebody that usaid funds or
something also an
NGL uh I saw an estimate from Alex Jones
that there are 1.5 million
NOS but 1.1 million of them are left
leaning is that possible somebody in the
comments said
55,000 at the very least there are
thousands thousands of these entities
that get funded by our government your
taxpayers
your your tax money
and it seems to be
mostly for controlling America
controlling other countries and for
people to get
paychecks so that they can get this easy
funding from your money basically it's
just a transfer of wealth to
Democrats the wealthy Democrats is not
even the poor
Democrats that's what it looks like
well according to grock
and I should warn you that all of the
AIS are not up to date on this
story they're up to date on what people
are saying but your AIS are going to
tell you there's no evidence that the
CIA has anything to do with the
usaid that's what your AI will tell you
um but uh grock tells me that all the
spending of us Aid is
transparent it's transparent so
everybody could have always seen it and
that the uh
GAO uh government Accounting Office can
audit it so they so don't worry about
the spending being wrong because you can
see it it's transparent you know the
names of the places it's going to and
you also know that there's an auditing
function so it could get audited by the
government to make sure they're not
doing anything wrong so you good with
that um I hope you're good with it
because I'm starting an NGO so the name
of my NGO um is going to be it's going
to be called America doing awesome
things for a gay climate scientists and
democracy now that sounds like a joke
but it's not very far from the name of
the other NOS so the first thing you do
is put a name on your NGO and a primary
purpose that looks like it's good and
then you hide behind that goodness and
do all your evil behind it because you
can get your paycheck you can do your
your infl infuence pedling but as long
as people come after you so if if you
come after me after I get funded from my
America doing awesome things for gay
climate scientists and democracy I'm
going to say whoa oh look who's coming
after me uh apparently you don't like
gay people you're a bigot uhhuh and
you're anti-science because why else
would you be coming after me for trying
to fund climate scientists so you're
anti- scientist you're anti-gay you're
opposed to democracy I mean all those
things are right in the title of my NGO
so clearly I'm doing good work and
you're some kind of a bigoted piece of
crap science denier get out of here get
out of here and I'm going to tell all
the other Democrats to stay away from
you God you're such a terrible person
you're awful how could you even come
after me when I'm so virtuous just look
at the name of my NGO it's right there
in the
name all right
so
um so there's
that also uh according to the Washington
examiner um taxpayers also funded
Chinese
research representative uh Claudia Tenny
Republican uh she's she's got a bill
she's introduced into stop funding our
adversaries
now you would think that's something we
weren't
doing your common sense would say we're
not funding any adversaries what are you
talking about how could it possibly be
true that we're funding adversaries
what but between 2015 and 2021 the US
provided $29 million directly to Chinese
entities for research and
development I think that included Wuhan
these are real things I think now
remember remember the umbrella caution
there are going to be claims that aren't
true and I'm not I'm not sure I'll know
which ones are not true but the general
thrust of it is still the same
directionally these are
largely fake
things now is it true that it also does
good things such as helping countries
battle AIDS yes that's called a
cover the reason that they do good
things is so you can't pull their
funding if they're doing good things the
government uh let's say the foreign
government that allows us Aid funded
things in probably can't handle the
problems themselves such as you know an
AIDS epidemic or you know any other
major problem that a smaller country
can't handle we come in and say we can
handle that and the government says well
we can't do it ourselves and it is
destroying our country so yeah come on
in and then you can't kill it because if
you try to kill the
funding you're going to say that you
killed people with
AIDS Elon mus just posted I love Donald
Trump as much as a straight man can love
another
man oh God he likes causing
trouble all right so um
let's see what else is uh so CNN says
the uh concern about these big
government payouts to uh to Media
organizations such as Politico are fake
so no the media is telling you that if
you think the media is taking money to
you know change the reporting that's
fake people that's just fake and the
example they give is that Politico which
has two I think two main businesses one
is Politico of the publication but
another one is a Subs very expensive
subscription uh thing that has extra
data and things that are not in their
public political thing and the claim was
that $8 million flowed into the pro part
of the Politico not the publication and
that it came from not just USA but maybe
a bunch of entities that are also Nos
and kind of operate same so do you
think that $8 million of
subscriptions were do you think that was
an appropriate expense for all kinds of
different parts of the government they
they all needed a subscription to this
thing does that sound real to you now
Politico is trying to make the
distinction that funding not funding but
let's say buying a bunch of
subscriptions to one part of their
business has no influence on their
coverage in the other part of the
business that's for the stupid
people let let me tell you how you can
bribe people oh how many lines of
business do you have two Well we'd like
to influence one of those lines of
business okay great we'll give you
millions of dollars if you'll do with
that line of business what we want you
to excellent you got a deal
but can you do us a favor don't write
the checks to something that looks like
that line of business that you want us
to influence instead could you write it
to the other line of business so it
looks like you're just buying a regular
product like anybody
would so I'm not saying that's what
happened I'm just saying that's exactly
what it looks like happened there's no
such thing as people are uninfluenced by
money millions of dollars yeah yeah no
influence at all millions of dollars
nobody believes
that and as I read Ron Paul thinks that
basically all of the media is influenced
by government spending that's channeled
through this and that so it gets there
well maybe uh Brian stelter called the
claim that Politico is receiving
government sub subsidies quote rampant
right-wing
misinformation well technically he's
correct here's what he didn't say but
the parent company of Politico is making
millions of dollars and it doesn't seem
like that number could be supported by
the fact that people like subscriptions
to your pro
service that would be the better
frame all right if you're getting lost
in all this stuff because the Doge thing
is getting complicated I would recommend
that you listen to the
explainers uh one difference from 20 16
till now is that the right leaning part
of the the world has developed these
incredible
explainers people who simply know enough
that they can tell you what's really
happening that's different from what the
news is telling you so some of them of
course Mike Benz is the uh tip of the
spear on this particular topic but I
would listen to Mike cernovich who can
who digs into it deeper than most and
explains it better uh Glenn Greenwald
Brett
Einstein um and look at podcasts not the
news the podcasts are where you get
closest to the truth in this case and
the the good explainers are the ones
that can help you so the bad explainers
aren't going to give you anything you
got to listen to the good explainers
that I just explained so here's an
example um Brett Weinstein on Joe Rogan
I'm going to read the whole thing I just
like the way he said
it he said quote as a I was watching the
confirmation hearings my sense was that
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were
dinosaurs who do not understand that the
Earth has just been hit from outer space
and that they don't live in the world
that they're used to that their
corruption was immediately apparent and
they're not used to that they're used to
having a whole phony journalistic layer
that covers for them and that layer is
gone and the American public is awake
and they're angry and rightfully so and
now it looks like
and now look at Bernie Sanders and you
see the same guy going after Bobby
Kennedy like dude I just went through
Co I see Bernie Sanders and I see him
reading from a script that is no longer
relevant to the movie that we're
watching that's a good
description that's a good description
yes if you look at the the politicians
that are prairie dogging the the ones
whove decided that they're going to be
really noisy
about us Aid being cut and about the
Doge those are all the corrupt
ones by accident uh this wasn't what
anybody was trying to do but by accident
by poking the right part of the
government it it revealed all of the
turds everybody who is corrupt in my
opinion this just an opinion they're the
ones that are the loudest if you see
Jamie Rasin and Schumer and Warren and
uh Sanders and you know Adam
Schiff those are all the designated
Liars they're the ones who specifically
come out when they're selling
they don't bring them out when the truth
can handle
itself if if the problem is the truth
then the news can handle it the news
will just say y fact Jack this is true
but when the news can't handle it
because it's such a big lie that even
the news can't go there they bring out
the same cast the characters yeah and
Leticia James is obviously part of the
corruption she's the law fair
Queen so that's the world we're living
in
um so this is from Mike cernovich who
was on Jesse Kelly's show and he said
that usaid funds
diversity uh the money hits a nonprofit
so diversity everybody loves that right
so you fund the diversity so that you've
got a cover and then the money hits the
nonprofit that's going to do something
for diversity and some lib in DC
pays herself himself or herself half a
million dollars power power couples are
pulling pulling in millions of dollars
per year stealing from you I believe
that is a perfect explanation of some
large part of what's Happening that
Democrats have figured out wait a minute
if 98% of the people in USA are
Democrats and I'm a
Democrat and they've got all this money
and they give it out to all kinds of
sketchy people all the time for sketchy
reasons all I need is to say I'm going
to do something that sounds important
like fix diversity then what are they
going to do if you're usaid and somebody
says I'm going to work on diversity
don't you say oh yeah good good let's do
that so it basically turns out a lot of
this is I think literally just scam it's
hard to know because there might be some
legitimate ones they got in the mix but
it does look like mostly it's designed
as a scam at least that's the way it
operates it's a de facto criminal
Enterprise de facto might not actually
be
illegal um Marco Rubio now ahead of a
state department where usaid got rolled
in so after it got gutted what's left of
it got rolled under the state department
so Rubio is in charge of that and he's
going to reduce the staff of USA from
about
10,000 to
294 which is probably about 200 people
too many but you know I'll take what I
can
get uh so this is very musk likee it
just feels like a lot lot of what he did
with Twitter you know your common sense
which wouldn't work in this case told
you okay Twitter might have 20% more
people than they
need nope they had 90% more people than
they needed well probably maybe 80 or
75% and that was the right number
because uh X has apparently turned cash
positive can you believe that I think
that's true I'll take I'll take a fact
check on that but I saw this morning
just in passing
somebody said that X is now Beyond break
even that they're cash positive is that
still true I hope
so anyway
um so Mike Ben is now being attacked by
the same media that may be benefiting
from these corrupt payments from us Aid
and and similar
NOS so would you be surprised to know
that the Washington Post post uh not
only went after that Doge guy but it's
he already did a hit piece on Mike Ben
and he says that a whole bunch of the
media has contacted him asking him to
comment because they're also working on
H
pieces apparently it took him a while
wer were you all
wondering why hasn't Mike Benz been
taken out by the Deep state yet I hate
to say it but I've been wondering that
for a long time and the only thing I
could think of is that he had not
penetrated the bubble yet meaning that
as long as they had a good bubble so
that nobody in their base ever heard any
Mike Ben's argument and by the way I
tested this with my smartest Democrat
friend uh while back I said all right
just do me a favor just listen to one
person just listen to Mike Ben figure
out what he's saying about things and
then you'll you'll finally maybe catch
up to a big part of what the political
right knows
and uh my friend looked at one of his
videos dismissed it as I don't know a
troll or something and would never look
at another
one so that's probably what happened
with any other Democrat who tried
looking it the the Mike Ben's view of
reality is so
disturbing that if you're not already
leaning in that direction it'll just
make your head explode and your your
brain won't be able to process C how
completely wrong your impression of the
world you live in has been here's the
most uh provocative thing that Ben said
just on a podcast I think yesterday he
said there's no such thing as domestic
policy just listen to that there's no
such thing as domestic
policy everything that you think is
domestic policy is
fake meaning that is designed to control
other countries or to control our own
country to keep a populist scent of
office now when I heard that my first
thought was well that's not true because
you know what about our uh what about
the emphasis on the government has on
Dei you know before
Trump and now we know that Dei is what
we introduced to a country we're trying
to
destabilize because if you can get them
to really be mad about racial division
which is what Dei gets you you can
weaponize them and put them on the
streets and have them rebel against
their
government but what about climate change
I mean that's obviously domestic policy
we we want to save our lives and make
sure we're doing the right thing right
well except that one of the ways you
destabilize another country is to inject
climate change into that other country
say it's the most important thing and if
the leader aren't working on it well
they got to be
replaced and so it
goes that everything you think was a
domestic policy is really a way to make
sure that
uh populists like Trump don't get power
because the populist will rip into all
that stuff uh what about trans rights
were you all confused about why trans
rights suddenly became the only thing we
were talking about for a long time like
how is that even possible like even even
if you agree or disagree with you know
any of the topics onto the trans
stuff nobody thought it was should have
been the top National talking
point that can't be natural do you know
what uh we do when we try to destabilize
other
countries we fund protrans things in
those
countries because the trans people can
get the lgbtqs on board and suddenly
they all hate their their leadership now
doesn't this sound exactly like what's
happening in this
country it does so let's talk more about
that so I spent some time this morning
so that you didn't need to uh on grock
so grock is the AI I used and I said to
myself I want to use the most unbiased
one because I'm going to ask some
questions that I know will be censored
on the other
ones so this is what grock said so the
first thing I asked it was about this
Smith mon Act of
1948 I'll bet most of you have heard of
that right it's something that Democrats
have no idea about so the Smith Mont act
allowed uh or CIA or whatever it was at
the time to do propaganda broadcasts in
other countries so we could literally
try to brainwash other countries but it
was very carefully um you know walled so
they couldn't do that in
America now the the conser ative story
or the Maga story is that when Obama
came in office he he changed the part
about uh being able to do it
domestically so the very the purpose of
it and nobody nobody argues that this is
the purpose so both sides would agree
this is the purpose the purpose of
sending media to other countries is to
control their minds it's brainwashing
it's propaganda and nobody nobody argues
that so that part
nobody argues because we're okay
propagandizing other countries you know
they do it to us we do it to
them but the magga people would say yes
but that all stopped that all stopped
when Obama said you can also use that
same material that was used to propag
propagandize other countries you can now
use it internally so I asked grock if
that's true and he said no that's not
true
here's what grock says the only change
that was
made was that if you wanted to get some
of that external propaganda for
research just for research you could
request it and it would not be denied
you that's what grock says grock is the
most I think the most or the least
censored AI GR says that's
Gru says that nothing like that
happened there was there was no
authorization for the CIA to brainwash
Americans that didn't happen the only
thing they did was this little technical
change that allowed somebody to request
something if they want to do some
research do you believe
that I don't
know I'm going to say I don't know I
don't think that the Smith bunt Act is
terribly important to what we're seeing
today in other words you could see
everything we're seeing whether or not
the smithm ACT did or did not do
anything so I think maybe it's just a
distraction uh not an intentional
distraction but rather a distraction to
spend much time thinking about it
because we could argue all day whether
that act has any
difference but we could also just look
at the difference we could just look at
what people doing and that's probably
all you need so
um the CIA specifically would
be um not allowed to use that stuff but
what about an
NGO do you think an
NGO a non-government organization that
gets funded by the government do you
think it could look at some of the
propaganda and then repurpose it for the
United States because I don't think
anything says that a non CIA entity
can't do it do you think the CIA could
ask somebody else to do it for them do
you think they could uh talk to the
Washington Post I'll just use them as an
example it's not an accusation just an
example could the CIA say Hey you know
I'm having lunch with a journalist and
you know there's this interesting story
happening over in uh Europe right now
and uh might be some some application in
the United States maybe the US market
would like this story too and then it's
not really the CIA that's using it to
propagandize they're just lunch it's
just a conversation it's just lunch so
if you have lunch with your favorite
journalist and you you happen to know
about a story that's a you know kind of
big in another
country maybe they'd be interested in
looking at that story and how it plays
out in this
country
so I think if we're looking at the
technical language of the law and this
Smith Mont act and what it does do and
what it doesn't do and how it was
revised
probably were just going down the rabbit
hole for no reason because you don't
even need to be in that hole everything
that you care about know about
everything that matters it can all be
deduced without any reference to the
Smith mon act because the one thing we
can all be sure of is that any entity in
the United States could get around that
without any effort it basically has no
teeth because there's nothing that would
stop me from uh let's say looking at
some media in another country and saying
oh I think I'll say that on social media
because that looked good to me that's
not illegal I could do it I'm just a
citizen I just saw some stuff and I
thought it'd be a good story so it
couldn't possibly be true that Smith M
Mont either caused anything or prevented
anything it would be far more reasonable
to say it doesn't do anything it's like
it's like you can forget that whole
story you know from the magga
perspective it it kind of gave some meat
to a belief but you don't need it you
got plenty all right so that's the first
thing I found now also you might know
that operation
Mockingbird was the CIA literally in the
50s and 60s um they had favored uh news
entities and journalists that they
influenced including the Washington Post
in the New York Times well well they
were
implicated so grock doesn't say they
were guilty GL grock says they were
implicated all right so and it it
remains to be seen according to grock
whether they were really guilty of that
but I think most of us believe that uh
the operation Mockingbird was
real and so that means in my
lifetime in my
lifetime the'
60s the CIA was was managing our news
and they don't have to manage every news
entity because if you get the washingon
post and the New York Times everybody
else just follows them they're they're
called the newsmakers meaning that until
it's in one of those entities at least
in the 60s it wasn't really news so if a
local newspaper had a big story nobody
cared didn't go anywhere it has to be in
the New York Times or the New York or
the Washington Post in those days that
was before you know
internet so allegedly there was this
church Committee in the 70s that exposed
this um this evil and then it was
ended do you do you think it was ended
because it became
illegal let's go back to lunch shall we
hey favorite journalist who works for
the Washington Post would you like to
have lunch
uh I work for the CIA and I know lots of
things that maybe off the Record you'd
like to know too all right well it's
just
lunch so let's have lunch all right
here's here's a scoop let me tell you
this scoop and they give him a real
scoop and the journalist says wow that
was worth it I'm glad I went to lunch
with that
guy and then maybe later you know he
needs some context on the story and he
contacts that CIA guy and says hey you
know I'm doing a story on this do you
have any context and CIA guy adds it
makes his story better journalist is now
killing it he's got two great stories
thanks to the CIA
contact and then there's another lunch
the CI cont CIA contact says you know
what God this terrible Trump guy wow
yeah I I don't know what the world's
going to do with this Trump Trump trump
guy trying to break all of our democracy
and doing racist things you know what's
your newspaper doing about Trump well I
I don't know I mean I haven't I don't
have any stories about that you know you
really should think about it because it
really is the biggest story in my
opinion I mean I'm not telling you any
CIA stuff and and of course the CIA
can't tell you to do it but wow it's the
biggest story uh how are you missing
that and the next thing you know the
journalist does not believe that they
have been influenced by the CIA they
just just think they have a good good
idea for a
story now this is just an example of
course but if you think that the law or
any kind of law like the uh Church
committee or whatever they found and
whatever whatever law changed if you
think the law can prevent somebody from
having
lunch what world do you live
in all they need is a conversation you
don't think that the CIA is trained and
how to manipulate some somebody into
doing what they want that's exactly what
they're trained to do not just in
America but to anybody if you sit down
with somebody who's trained to persuade
you you're going to leave that meeting a
little bit persuaded so you don't really
need to do anything illegal it's just
lunch just
lunch what
that
[Music]
uh okay that's bad all right
so I would ignore the fact that there
were any legal changes about what the
CIA can or cannot do sometimes it's the
CIA sometimes it's the state department
sometimes it's the Pentagon so when I
say the CIA did this or that what I mean
is any of those entities because they're
they're sort of joined at the hip for a
lot of
stuff
um so let me tell you what the magga
belief is and then we'll we see how it
connected to reality is so the mega
belief is that the CIA developed a bunch
of tools allegedly for influencing other
countries but they ended up turning
those tools on uh the populist movement
of trump because stopping populists in
other countries was mainly what they did
and stopping a uh Trump populist
movement was apparently some say
allegedly what they did next now we know
that there was some effort to um censor
Americans by controlling foreign
entities so if a foreign fake fact
Checker kept saying that X or something
was fake well then the European
countries could say well uh according to
our fake fact Checker that's paid by
usaid just as an example I don't know if
they are um according to the fake fact
Checkers this this one Elon Musk owned
plow form is just full of lies and Nazis
so I guess we can just ban it which
would put X out of business so we're we
do know that our own
government intentionally not by accident
got a whole bunch of fake entities in
other countries that that we
funded to do things that we couldn't do
legally in this country so it might have
been technically legal but certainly a
violation of everything we care about
constitutionally
so we know that's true so here are the
things we know are
true
um I'm not going to read that comment
but it's very funny uh the things we
know are true are that the our own
government has done a bunch of color
Revolutions in other countries now if
you don't know what a color Revolution
is it's because a lot of these coups
that are usually instigated by America
um they often have a color associated
with them
not always sometimes there'll be some
other some other label but let me just
give you an example of some some color
revolutions now let I should tell you
that the way they do the color
Revolution is they first do capacity
building this is also Mike Ben's
narrative uh the capacity building means
we we bribe or somehow get control of
various things within the country we're
targeting so if we could uh
let's say briber control their Media or
any part of it that'd be a big part of
it if we can control Union heads they
could tell the unions what to do that'd
be a big part of it uh if we can control
the universities so we're educating the
young people to be against their own
government and for us and you would try
to control minority groups because
they're the ones most likely to say hey
the government's not serving us we
better overthrow it
so uh if you saw USA going into a
country and even if they said oh we're
going to help you with your terrible
problems it it is it is verified that in
a number of cases some would say not
100% Mike Ben might say 100% but that
the CIA rides on the charity to get into
the country and then do its CIA thing
and that all of the Charities are
basically cover for that activity
because we don't do anything for another
country unless it has a domestic purpose
and the domestic purpose is controlling
other
countries so that's the that's the claim
so this is the narrative on the right so
if you if somebody were running a color
revolution in the United States we know
what to look for and I'll tell you that
in a minute but here are some of the
examples uh in 2000 Serbia had a
bulldozzer revolution so they didn't
have a color yet the colors came later
there was a rose revolution in Georgia
2003 there was an orange revolution in
Ukraine in 2004 there was a tulip
revolution in kyrgistan 2005 Cedar
revolution in Lebanon 2005 jees
Revolution Belarus 2006 saffron
Revolution Myanmar 2007 green movement
Iran 2009 Velvet Revolution Armenia 2018
some say that eurom Maiden which is also
Ukraine that came later the Arab Spring
in Hong Kong protest and Belarus protest
are sometimes also labeled
as color revolutions that's according to
grock so so this comes from
grock now did you know how many there
were that's kind of a lot and I think
this is not a complete list I think
maybe it's just you know the bigger
countries we're all we've all heard of
um so here are the things we know for
sure there have been decades in which
the CIA um controlled Americans by
brainwashing us through the media that's
not questioned by anybody left right we
all agree on that some say has stopped
happening but they are morons they are
morons there's no way to stop that from
happening
domestically there's no
way you know when I watch a movie like
Top Gun it's all rah Americans are good
at flying planes I don't think that
happens by itself you know I think they
maybe you know Tom Cruz makes amazing
movies and he has the power to do any
movie he wants and that and that was an
obvious sequel but I know do you think
that's totally without any influence by
our
government I don't know I have no
evidence that it is but it's exactly
what they do so I don't
know well now let's go to 2016 tie it
all together Trump wins unexpectedly how
did Trump win
unexpectedly because the bad guys failed
to believe it was true there was such a
thing as shy Trump
supporters that's
right the smartest people in our
government you know the Spooks and the
spies and the FBI and all the smart
politicians they all believed it wasn't
real when people like me were saying uh
you know what's coming right you know
that you've made it impossible to say
out loud who you who you support and you
know it's so
you can't even tell your spouse and you
know it's so bad that if a pollster
calls and you do support Trump you're
not going to take the call you know it's
so bad you might be lying to your own
spouse about who you support now that's
what they missed now I didn't miss it I
was saying it almost every day almost
every day I said you gotta watch out shy
Trump supporters it's way bigger than
you think and there's a logical obvious
reason for it because you've made it imp
possible to go public with your
beliefs and so sure enough Trump wins
unexpectedly and then what do you think
happened so one of the one of the tricks
that the color revolutions use is to say
that
Russia or or somebody else is behind who
is in office
now so you can get a you can get a
Revolution going if you can say oh the
current leader is a Russian
puppet see where this is going
what was the main attack on
Trump literally that he was a Russian
puppet this is textbook this is
guaranteed every time if you if the
America tries to overthrow a populist
the first thing they say is that's not a
populist that's a Russian puppet and
watch how hard they've pushed on the
Russian puppet thing and now as I was
saying the prairie dogs the people who
have exposed themselves as you know
being part of the corrupt machine
they were the ones pushing it Hillary
Clinton to this day is pushing the
Russia the Russia puppet thing about
Trump it's not an accident if if if all
they wanted to do was say there's bad
things about Trump you would just say a
million different things but the fact
that they converged on a whole madeup
Russia puppet
thing that's
textbook 100% indication that they
turned their external to TOS
internally it's not proof but it would
be the biggest coincidence in
the
world um especially since it wasn't true
if it were true then you just say well
it was just true but they made it up and
we know that they made it
up and then uh let's see what about the
capacity building if we were doing
capacity building in other places we
would fund things like universities huh
look at our univers
full of leftist anti-populist uh look at
our media huh the media seems completely
controlled just like we would do to
another country if we wanted to take it
over how about uh racial groups oh black
lives matter well suddenly we can make a
story on of this George Floyd thing that
if it had been based on the facts would
have been no story at all but if you
control the media you can turn the
George Floyd story into a St about
rampant uh racial problems in the
country that's exactly what we would do
to another country how about antifa and
by the way BLM was funded by us Aid did
you know
that um what about antifa well I don't
know where they came from but they
disappeared as soon as Trump was out of
office and given that they're supposed
to be anarchists they should be just as
mad as Biden at Biden as they would have
been at Trump they're anarchists are you
telling me the anarchists like Democrats
oh that's Joe Biden yeah that's fine but
you're an
anarchist yeah yeah uh but only when
Trump's in office right none of this
ever made sense it's obviously external
what about the charlotesville uh op to
me I think it's so obvious that the
Charlottesville thing was a government
op it's
exactly what you would
do exactly what you do to overthrow
another country you would have some kind
of event that showed the the uh racial
minorities that they better act because
they're in trouble you better act you
better get to the streets you better
vote well that looks suspiciously right
on point doesn't it now what about
District
Attorneys is there any history in which
we tried to control the district
attorneys in another country for the
benefit of overthrowing the government
have you heard of Joe Biden and his trip
to Ukraine in which he said if you don't
get rid of that um prosecutor you can't
have money from was it from
USA somebody said it was but I don't
know if that's
true so we watched the first thing Biden
had to do is get rid of the prosecutor
and get one in there that he
liked what did the Democrats and usaid
and George Soros fund they funded
friendly Das
and attorney generals so that they can
control prosecutions against who they
wanted to prosecute and then they
engaged them and then they went after
Trump all the law fair is the same thing
we would do in another country to
control their government we would the
same thing we would just find some fake
reason that the uh Das and the the law
has to go after them and they would be
our people the law would be basically
bribed by us
so that looks like exactly what's
happening Leticia James is still yelling
she's going to be suing Trump and trying
to put him in jail she's still saying it
um the other thing you'd want to do is
if you're were taking over another
country you'd want to you'd want to
weaponize their Department of Justice
like I just said but also if they had an
FBI or something like that you'd want to
control them too these are all the
things that happened to
us now is it a coincidence that the
precise exact tools that are used in
other countries and there's a long list
of times we've used them and they're
wellestablished tools nobody nobody's
doubting that those are the tools and
also nobody would doubt what I just
described there was a Russia collusion
hoax there was our University's media
black lives matter antifa are clearly
fake uh I say the charlottesv thing was
fake because it never happened again I
mean that's your that's your ultimate
signal if that had been real even after
they all got in trouble there would have
been some second wave third wave even if
it were smaller but no it just
disappeared okay it was never real the
racists were real but obviously was
organized by some dark entity that was
trying to mess with the United
States
um
so that's what we got going and of
course we know that in the United States
uh EI and climate change and trans
rights became our big uh weapons to use
against
who oh it just turns out that all of
those things can be used against the
populist huh coincidence right that the
things that you said to yourself why are
these the top
story they shouldn't be the top story
even if you think they're
important it's all
fake so when Mike Ben says there's no
such thing as domestic policy does that
make sense
now even getting rid of
trump is for the benefit of our
International policy and the things that
they use to get rid of them that you
think are domestic
policy are only to get rid of
them now there of course there are
people who agree with all these policies
but that's not why they're the big thing
the reason anything that become becomes
a big thing is because somebody the
curtains pushing it it doesn't become a
big big thing on its
own all
right
so
um did I already talk about Thomas
Massie who says that USA is gutted but I
can't tell if I thought about talking
about it or talking about so Thomas
Massie was saying that the omnius might
just put USA all back together I think I
told you that but yeah so that might
happen so we have a self-healing
criminal
system uh there's also something called
DRL according to American Thinker John
kski is writing about this um here's
what that is something that uh started
under Carter DRL and it's a has some
human rights agenda and foreign
policy and Central and practically
independent element of American foreign
Poli
policy so the thinking is that that's
just another one of these you know
USA things like USA but
different
entity in other news Iran has unveiled
its first drone
carrier so it's like a um an aircraft
carrier except for drones
only and it's already
launched so apparently Iran will now
have the power to project drone swarms
wherever they
want uh I'd like to make a prediction
about the fate of their new their new
craft I'm going to give it uh 6
months before a catastrophic mechanical
problem causes it to blow up and Port
just a guess I think it might have a
terrible terrible mechanical problem
that hey if they if they' done a better
job of building it it wouldn't have
happened but sadly probably because
they're bad engineering they're going to
make a carrier that just explodes on its
own really and we weren't even anywhere
near it so don't look at us it just
exploded on its own Israel I don't know
what you're talking about no sometimes
things just explode on their own it's
very bad very bad
luck uh but Trump is calling for in
terms of Iran he wants a verified
nuclear peace agreement and he's he's
sort of talking like a president um in a
good way he said uh I would much prefer
a verified nuclear peace agreement which
will let Iran peacefully grow and
prosper I like how Trump always says
don't you want to
prosper you know that that's his go-to
for every adversarial country how about
we just stop fighting each other and you
just make a bunch of money how about
that because it's a pretty appealing
concept to at least the public if not
the
leaders um he said uh we don't want to
be tough on Iran we don't want to be
tough on anybody uh but they just can't
have a nuclear bomb
now I love the clarity of
that I love the clarity you're not going
to have a nuclear weapon when when
Israel says it you know they mean it as
well but you wonder if the United States
might prevent them to for doing what it
might take to get rid of it you know
such as you know bunker busting bombs on
nuclear facilities in Iran so you don't
necessarily think that Israel would have
the the green light to do what needs to
be done in
Iran but what if Trump says you
do when Trump
says the one thing I'll guarantee is
you're not going to get a nuclear
weapon what that tells me is what Trump
always says which is everything's on the
table so if Israel come let's say that
nothing good happens with Iran and
there's no progress and there's no talks
and there's not going to
be do you think that Trump is going to
stop Israel from taking out their
nuclear facilities I don't I think they
have a green light but not
yet we're going to see if Iran will you
know just want to join the the peaceful
world um you know now that their proxy
have been decimated it's a whole
different conversation so it's the best
time in the world to be negotiating with
Iran but I love the fact that we have
the capability of bombing to all of
their nuclear
facilities no matter how underground
they are and that it's green light so
you can talk to us about stopping it
yourself or will'll stop it but the
question of whether it will be stopped
is asked and answered yeah you don't see
see this is important if you act like
it's a negotiation it will beat one so
the mistake would be to say we need to
have a negotiation about your n nuclear
program nope fail you failed before you
started as soon as you say it's a
negotiation then they just drag it out
and they fake it and nothing happens if
you say you're not going to have a
nuclear weapon everybody knows what that
means it means that there's nothing we
won't do to stop it meaning we would
nuke you I don't think that's going to
happen but we'd nuke them before we' let
them have a nuclear weapon there's no
limit to what we'd be willing to do now
once you start your negotiations with
all right this thing's not going to
happen and now here's your decision so
he's see again he's making him think P
the sale the sale is do you do nuclear
or not he's saying that's solved now
that we've solved you're not going to
have nuclear CU we have the power notice
how he does this Trump always tells
people that he has the power so you can
stop thinking about it I've
decided wow what's this breaking news
Egypt says it will work with Partners to
reconstruct Gaza without Palestinians
leaving the
strip that sounds like a
non-starter but back to
Trump look how good the technique is and
you could take this with yourself and
I've used this by the way I've used this
technique a number of times and when I
do it always works it works every time
you never let it be a
discussion whether they can have the
thing that you don't want them to have
the thing you only tell them how they
can lose it all right we're not talking
about whether you can have it that's
already
settled we're going to talk about how
you don't have it do you not have it
because you decided to play nice and
then you make money we make money and
everybody's happy or did you decide to
do it by losing your control over your
own country while we just decimate your
nuclear program and good luck picking up
the
pieces so I don't think anybody's ever
put it in those terms before where the
question of whether you're going to have
it is now taken off the table that's
asked and answered and settled you are
not going to have it because we do have
the power Trump has 100% of the ability
to take it away from so he just said you
don't have it so now you only get to
decide what path you take to not have
it with bombs or no
bombs that is good technique you know
see sometimes the things that he says
are so ordinary looking that you don't
realize how deep the technique
is what he said I don't believe anybody
said it quite the way he said it but
also this is important because he's
Trump they think he would carry through
with a threat if Biden says uh we
I'd love to see Biden's language maybe
you can do a fact check on me find me
some quotes from Biden and I'll bet you
it says things like uh we're going to
work really hard to make sure Iran
doesn't have a nuclear weapon fail fail
complete failure uh we don't want Iran
to have a nuclear weapon fail fail fail
you you you already killed yourself
before you
started if you say
you're not going to have a nuclear
weapon now let's talk about how that
happens whole different narrative I mean
completely different frame and that's
that's what Trump does better than
anybody all
right uh according to Popular Science
there's a company that's building an
underwater
homes that you could live in for
extended times they're for research but
maybe someday they'll be underwater
homes all right that's all I have
I ran way too long I'm going to say hi
to the locals people privately I hope
you like this uh it's really hard
understanding all the various layers of
of things but I think we're getting
closer so locals I'm coming at you
privately if you're on xor rumble or
YouTube thanks for joining I'll be here
