Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it is. And 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 cup or mug or a glass or a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, a thermos, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And 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, and it happens now.

Well, I don't know about you, but what I really needed this weekend was a little less news, and thank goodness we got a little bit less news. Trump's been kind of quiet. I mean, he caused a little bit of trouble, but Elon Musk says he's taking at least a day or two off because he's getting ready to launch the newest AI, Grok. So things got strangely quiet, but yet there's plenty to talk about.

Did you know that TMZ is reporting that Kanye West — I call him Ye — and his wife Bianca don't have a prenup agreement? They don't have a prenuptial agreement. So good job, Ye. At what point did he think this one's forever? So that's Ye's situation.

And then if you were anywhere near social media yesterday on X, you'd know that allegedly — I'm not even sure this is confirmed yet, but allegedly — Ashley St. Clair, who's a conservative-leaning writer (they're calling her an influencer, but that feels a little dismissive because I think she's more of a writer and has a bigger impact), is claiming that she had a real-life affair, I guess, with Musk and has had his baby five months ago. And then allegedly there's some agreement about the raising of the baby that hasn't been finalized. So Ye didn't finalize his paperwork. That looks like a problem. And it doesn't look like Elon finalized his paperwork, and it feels like a problem.

So this is my advice: Don't get involved with anybody unless you've got a lawyer with you. You should bring the lawyer on the first date, maybe the second date too. It's like, "Hi, you know, my name's Bob and this is my attorney. He'll be negotiating the paperwork in case this comes to anything. Will you or will you not be using birth control? And we'd like a clause in there that would protect our client." So that's what it looks like in the future.

I'll tell you one of the things that came out of whatever is going on between Ashley and Elon, which is really none of our business but it became public, was there ever a point you said to yourself, "Man, I'm so jealous of Elon. He doesn't have to have a wife and he doesn't need to have a girlfriend who's giving him trouble. He can just create all these baby mamas. As long as he can afford it, it's going to be great." And now I'm thinking, how in the world can you survive with that many baby mamas who all just have one thing they want to ask you today? You know what would be good is if I had a little bit extra money this month. Do you think it ever stops? I wonder if he ever stops getting messages. You know, one of the kids is a little older. Wouldn't be bad if we had an extra million. I don't know how it's going, but I hope he is choosing his baby mamas well. I think some of them are working out pretty well actually.

Naval Ravikant was a guest on the All-In podcast, and I loved one thing he said because it just calms everybody down. So I'm going to repeat it. There's no indication — this is me paraphrasing, so not his words — but there's no indication that AI is going to reduce the number of jobs. There's a lot of indication it will be a tremendous aid to people in jobs. There's a lot of indication that some jobs, entire slices of industries, will change, but that is a normal thing. There are entire industries that used to exist when I was a kid that don't exist now. So industries coming and going is pretty normal.

But as Naval puts it, it's not so much that AI will cause you to get another job, because as he points out, "job" sort of indicates you have a boss and you had to apply for it. But it could be that AI will create what Naval calls opportunities. So you can say to yourself, "Hey, I don't know much about this or that, but if I use AI I'll be as smart as anybody who does this or that. So I'll become a person who provides whatever service or goods, and I'll use AI to figure out how to do it. And it might even do most of the work, but it wouldn't do it on its own." And you're probably always going to need a human to sign papers and work out weird little problems and negotiate things as you go.

So this is very much what I've been speculating for a while, that we can't predict AI but it didn't look like it was going to take jobs. So I've sort of been on this path for a while, but it's good to see Naval say it because he's smarter. So it's good when smart people agree with you.

All right, here's something that probably is a nothing but might be a really big thing. Now before I tell you, I would like to say what the NPCs will say. You know I do this as a service so they don't have to do it. When I'm done I want you to yell, "That's Soylent Green! I don't want to live in a tiny house! Swimming is the best form of exercise and you can't make me eat that and I won't eat bugs!" All right, does that cover everything? That's everything the obvious people say. Okay, now that that's covered, you don't need to say those things. Do you get it? It's so you don't need to say them. You could. Yeah, and French press is the best way to make coffee. Thank you. Thank you for adding that. That needed to be said.

Well, the story is that according to Ben Coxworth — really, that's his last name, Coxworth? Wow, must have been tough in high school. Coxworth, come on. All right, okay. Anyway, so there's this kind of a weed that I guess grows in ponds. It's not even a weed. It's called duckweed. It's more like a green slime that grows on stuff. But apparently there's a version of it that's really nutritious, and let's say they call it water lentils. So I think it's not a slime so much as it might be little chunks, but it's sort of green and chunky and it can grow in a pond. And apparently it's a superfood. It's got 35% carbs, 20% minerals, and up to 40% protein. Now that would be a tremendous amount of protein.

Now you've probably heard me say way too many times, wouldn't it be good to have your own indoor farm? But how in the world could you grow protein in an indoor farm? I know you can grow lettuce and stuff like that that nobody wants to eat too much. I mean, how much lettuce do you want to eat? So I was always saying indoor farms aren't going to work until you can make protein. This is apparently something you can do in an indoor facility, and it's got protein like crazy and you could add it to just about anything.

So maybe — I'm not sure that this would work at small scale because the indoor facility that they show pictured is a big industrial scale, but I don't know. So here are the advantages: It grows really fast. It doesn't need fertilizer. It's got tons of nutrients. It doesn't need pesticides, doesn't need fertilizer, and it doesn't compete with other crops for farmland. It can be sustainably cultivated in shallow trays of clean water and greenhouses or vertical farms. So is this what I've been waiting for? I don't know what it tastes like. I suppose you can flavor it any way you want. But if this seems like a small and boring little topic, I think we're going to have to get to the point where people are growing their own food, you know, maybe in small co-ops, because all the problems with food are the middleman, the chemicals they put in it that you don't want them to put in it, the transportation and the storage. Those are all the problems. Well, you can get rid of all those problems by growing your own food in your neighborhood if you could grow something with protein. So maybe this is it.

Well, there's a new hoax. Have you heard that the Pete Hegseth drinks whiskey in public while doing a presentation hoax? So this hoax says that when Pete Hegseth was giving a talk at whatever this was, at the big security event in Europe, that he reached for where they always keep a glass of water — you know, usually if you're a speaker they make sure you've got water you can drink — and the thinking was that it was whiskey.

Now here's one of the things that the Democrat hoaxes have in common. They're so ridiculous. They're so ridiculous. Do you really think that Pete Hegseth, who's been accused of drinking too much before he was nominated, do you think that he stood in front of a huge crowd in a televised event and then picked up a glass with a clearly brown-looking liquid that wouldn't be water and then drank it in front of the group? Does anybody think that could really happen in the real world? It's just like the fine people hoax and the drinking bleach hoax. You don't have to know anything to know it didn't happen. That obviously didn't happen. And it was just something about the way the light hit the water. So no, there's no truth to the thought that he was drinking bourbon or something on stage. So dumb.

Meanwhile AOC is calling for the governor of New York to remove Mayor Adams, who of course is a Democrat. But the Democrats are mad at that Democrat because he's not so keen on immigration and he seems to be friendly with Trump. And they think he worked on a deal with Trump, although he says there was no deal. But the Trump administration does seem to be trying to force the dropping of the charges against him. The people who understand this field better than I do say it's completely inappropriate to drop the charges against him. There's no legal reason to drop the charges. I'm not sure. There's no reason if it looks like lawfare, meaning that it's something that wouldn't normally be charged because it's such small ball. I feel like that's all the reason you should need. Do you need more reason than it's lawfare? I feel like that's good enough. Even if there's a technical violation like he took some upgrades on a flight or something, I don't care. I don't care at all. I don't care if the next mayor does that either. Not really. If you were taking big cash payments, well then we've got a different conversation. But a celebrity or a public figure who's traveling and gets upgraded, it's just the most normal thing in the world.

So anyway, it feels like lawfare to me. But here's my point on this. It looks like Trump found a new way to get rid of Democrats because Democrats automatically disagree with whatever Trump says is right. So all Trump has to do is start agreeing with a Democrat about anything and the other Democrats will want to get rid of that person right away. So AOC is trying to get rid of Mayor Adams because he's too friendly with Trump. That seems to be it. And then they think there's some secret deal, which is not in evidence. But here's what I think. I think Trump should endorse Adam Schiff just to test it out and say, "Yeah, Adam Schiff, we've had some bad interactions in the past but I got to say he's the very best Democrat there is. I can't wait to work with him. He's the guy that can really help us with MAGA." And next thing you know they'd be asking for him to be impeached because they just have to be whatever is the opposite of Trump. So he can take out any Democrat he wants just by saying, "You know, I like that one. You know that Fetterman guy, he's looking real good." Next thing you know Fetterman removed from office.

While the Washington DC real estate market is collapsing, everybody's trying to sell their house because they're all getting fired or they're afraid of getting fired or they're Democrats on the way out. But as the account called Cynical Publius points out and others have pointed out, among the top seven wealthiest counties in America, four of them are around Washington DC. So four of seven of the wealthiest counties are right around Washington DC. And Washington DC doesn't make any kind of product. So how are all these people making so much money? It's because they're around the money. If you put them around the money they'll start forming NGOs and scams and grifts and everybody's got a PAC or some damn thing that needs to get funded. And apparently there's almost no fiscal responsibility in Washington. That's what DOGE just taught us. And if you have no fiscal responsibility, gigantic amounts of money, and no product being made except people persuading and grifting, that's what you get. If you wait long enough you've got one of the richest counties or four of seven of the richest counties and you haven't done a damn thing that the country wants. You've just taken the money. That's what it looks like. So we'll see if that era is coming to an end. That might be a little optimistic.

And what about David Hogg, who's now one of the co-chairs of the Democratic Party? How many of you thought to yourself, it seems to me that all the Democrat leaders are actually just crooks, like demonstrably obviously crooks? You've heard about the Clinton Foundation. You've heard about Hillary Clinton running the Russia collusion hoax. You've heard about them doing the 51 intel officials laptop thing. You've heard about Ukraine. You've heard about USAID. You've heard about all the NGOs. It feels like, and of course in my opinion, nearly every mayor of every city is corrupt. There might be some exceptions but I feel like you almost have to be corrupt to be mayor in this country.

So what happens when David Hogg comes out of nowhere and next thing you know he's one of the heads of the DNC? Well according to PJ Media, Matt Margolis and some other people talking about this, as soon as he got into that position he used the mailing list that belongs to the DNC to raise money for his own political action committee. And his own political action committee pays him $100,000 a year. So he gets put as one of the heads of the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, and then almost right away uses their internal source to raise money for himself, literally for himself. Now it's for his PAC which pays him, so it feels like it's for himself. So that's exactly what we expected.

Now I'm genuinely curious, genuinely curious. Do all criminals become Democrats because they know they can get away with more, or does becoming a Democrat turn you into a criminal? Because obviously I'm aware that there are Republicans who are grifters and corrupt, etc. Obviously. But we don't really hear about it much, do we? It feels like it's an exception or something happened with some underling somewhere. But it feels like every single Democrat is corrupt, like all the leaders, and somewhat obviously to me it looks like — well this is obvious, I won't name names — but there's some people, just the way they act, they couldn't possibly be acting independently. It's so obvious they're getting a paycheck of some kind, directly or indirectly, that nobody would act like that. Nobody would act that dumb in public intentionally.

Anyway, speaking of dumb in public, I was watching Adam Schiff, who's got kind of a theatrical interest. I guess he wanted to be a script writer at one point. And he was getting so theatrical when he was questioning somebody in one of these hearings that it was actually impressive. He wasn't really even trying to make an argument on points because he was totally losing on whatever the argument was. He was getting killed. So he just kept ratcheting up the emotion. And then, "And then you're saying that you would give money under these conditions?" "No, I'm not saying so." "You're saying it." "Well no, it's the opposite. I'm not." "Oh, so you're saying you would give money. So under these conditions you would throw the Constitution under the bus. Is that right?" "No, nothing like that." "So all right, we've agreed you would throw the Constitution under the bus." And the amount of emotion that was obviously theatrical and fake was kind of impressive. So it made me think he's a terrible politician but I bet he actually would be good in theater. Like legitimately. He looks like he has the chops. So he could be a professional actor anyway. So he's got a future there.

Speaking of grift, here's what David Sacks says about Ukraine. He says with Americans becoming exhausted with forever wars in the Middle East, the quote "democracy promotion grifters" at USAID and NED and the rest of the NGOs needed a new cause. Ukraine was perfect. As the most corrupt country in Europe it would allow them to expropriate billions. Now is that just the Republican narrative? Because it's the one I see and it looks obvious to me. Do you think Democrats understand that Ukraine was part grift and part neocon wanting to destroy Russia? Or do Democrats think that we were protecting this spunky little country because it should be part of NATO? Like what do Democrats really think Ukraine was all about? Do they really not have any access to the narratives that are coming out from the Republicans? It feels like they just think, well let's just give them infinite more money. That should solve everything because Putin's a bad, bad man. I'm not saying Putin's a good man. I'm just saying probably this was a combination of people who looked for enormous grift opportunities and found them and people who wanted to destroy Russia. And it was an opportunistic way to do it. So no, it looks like a giant scam to us.

Meanwhile Mario Nawfal is reporting that Tucker Carlson had a conversation with the prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán. Now if you're not following closely, Hungary is one of those countries that is sort of close to a Trump-like view of the world. You know, a conservative not buying into the mass immigration kind of thing. And so what would be the fate of Hungary that just wants to be an independent little country and supportive of the United States? Would be a supportive country, one would be happy to be working with us. Well, because it's not exactly what the Democrats want or the liberal elite, as you might say. So this is what Viktor Orbán says is happening. He goes, "The fact is that the liberal elite of the West used the taxpayer money of the United States citizens to spread their ideology around the world and finance more than 60 NGOs, paid politicians and media outlets in Hungary. It was a plot against our sovereignty and independence." This is exactly how we overthrow other countries. We fund a whole bunch of stuff, non-government organizations, but really it's ways to influence things like the media and politicians. It's a way to get a whole bunch of money and assets and intelligence people into somebody's country. And Viktor Orbán is completely aware of it. He knows the whole plot. He probably can name all 60 NGOs and he probably knows exactly which media outlets are being bought by the United States. It's probably exactly what it looks like, that the United States is actively trying to overthrow not an enemy. This is the scary part. Hungary is not an enemy. So why are we trying to overthrow their government? They're pretty much on our side. And so that's probably exactly what it looks like.

All right. As you know, it's getting confusing with all the crooked Democrat judges trying to stop DOGE and Trump and the executive orders. Now there are too many to keep track of. But what you need to know is that the general setup is that Trump is using his executive authority largely to fire people, downsize, and move budgets around and stuff like that, cut budgets, move them around. And the Democrats are finding one reason after another to oppose it all. And they're using different judges, and all the judges or most of them — maybe it's just most — they seem to have an obvious conflict of interest. You know, they've got a relative who's a longtime Democrat fundraiser or basically they all have some kind of dirty connections that make them corrupt-looking. Now I don't know if they're corrupt but they definitely have all the tells for being corrupt. And they seem to be acting in a way that almost certainly guarantees that the larger question of who gets to run the executive branch — is it the president or does every little pissant judge anywhere in the federal system get to stop anything that happens if they don't like that president — because at the moment the courts, or at least these allegedly crooked judges, are seemingly running the executive branch by saying you can do this, you can't do this, you can only do it then.

And there's some thought that maybe this is actually going to be good for Trump. And the thought goes like this: That what Trump really needs to do is get some or all of these to the Supreme Court and then let the Supreme Court decide the most critical issue. Who gets to decide what happens in the executive branch? Is it the president, especially when it comes to budget and staffing? Is it the president or is it all these little pissant courts all over the country? Now I feel like Trump would probably win that if they got to some generalized principle about who's in charge and who can stop you. And at the moment the only power left that the Democrats have, since they lost basically everything, is these lifetime appointed — I think they're lifetime — these appointed judges that are clearly just Democrat corrupt operatives. So that's the last power they have.

So if this stuff gets to the Supreme Court and it becomes a generalized question — who gets to decide what's happening in the executive branch — I feel like the Supreme Court's going to lean toward Trump, you know, for all the obvious reasons. So it could be that the last remaining tool that's part of the government anyway, or the judicial, the last remaining tool besides the Soros prosecutors could be removed from the system. Not removed but at least ignored and maybe cast aside. So that could be a really big deal. That might actually be part of the Trump strategy, is to push every button until this gets to the Supreme Court and then give some clarity. And if the clarity goes Trump's way then he can really get busy. So what we've seen so far maybe is just a preview because the courts are legitimately slowing him down. What if that stopped? What if the courts stopped slowing him down? I mean who knows. Anyway that's going to get interesting.

So on CNN recently a Democrat strategist — they just had him on — and he was describing why Trump is popular today. And he says that he joined the Democratic Party in 1989 because he wanted to fight NAFTA. He wanted to drain the swamp and he wanted to make sure his tax dollars weren't being wasted or going to foreign wars. So he's saying that basically in the 90s a Democrat sounds like Donald Trump today. So he says that's why we lost him, is we've let him steal our verbiage. Now there it is again. They think it's the way he says it. It's not the way he says it. It's what he says. People prefer his policies. You can look at any poll. And then what's the most important stuff and then look at what people think Trump can do. It's not his verbiage. It's not his choice of words. It's so ridiculous. But he does point out that even a lot of the ordinary Democrats would look at Trump and say yeah that's exactly what I wanted. All that stuff. It's what I wanted. Give or take abortion of course. But abortion is now more of a state issue. Actually it's entirely a state issue. So he says that's why we keep losing to him. We've quit talking about Americans, keeping America safe and blah blah blah blah blah. And then he sums it up by saying that Trump is scary.

Now here's the funny part. The anti-Trumpers, they can't resist complimenting him because he keeps doing good stuff. Like they can't really be against him trying to save money. You can't really be against that. Or getting rid of fraud. It's hard to be against it. Fixing the border in days. It's hard to hate that. Stopping wars. Looks like he's already going to stop the war in Ukraine one way or another. It's hard to hate that too much. So even when the Democrats talk about Trump they've got to give him some props because it's stuff that they want too. But then he ends with he's scary. Okay, how did that fit with all this stuff you said about he's a 90s Democrat? If Trump is like a 90s Democrat, not 100% of course because abortion and some things are different, but why is he scary? He's scary just because he does exactly what you would do. They just can't avoid throwing in an empty generic insult. It's just reflex. I don't think there's any thought involved. His entire good point he was making about Trump being right in the middle of where America wants the president to be, that was a solid point. And then he ruins the whole thing by saying and he's scary. Well did you give me any evidence of the scary part? The scary part is he gives you exactly what the middle of America wants and most people agree. Oh that's scary.

But on the plus side I do give CNN credit because they put Scott Jennings on the air every day it seems like, or five days a week. And they allowed this strategist to say some things about Trump getting it right. And they do have other people who sometimes say Trump gets some stuff right. So the news of course is biased. There is news that's biased on the right. There is news that's biased on the left. But if you look at Fox News, let's just take The Five, they make sure that they've got somebody there who will say the other side. So there's at least always one person there who will argue the other point. And then CNN is making sure they have somebody there arguing the other point. But you know who doesn't do that? MSNBC. So here's the mistake. If you think MSNBC is like the others it's not even close. MSNBC, you could do an entire college course on propaganda and all you'd have to do is turn it on for half an hour and then talk about it. That could be the entire class.

All right, let's see what they said today because MSNBC will never tell you that there's even an argument on the other side. They won't even mention it unless it's such a bad argument and it's misinterpreted. It's usually misinterpreted if they talk about the other side. So just watch that. Watch how you know that some outlets are biased. But I don't mind the bias when it's explicit. So if I turn on Fox News of course they're pro-Trump. Of course they are. But they don't hide it and they try to cover all the news. So you get a little bit of both sides. And CNN same thing. But MSNBC? Nope. It's pure propaganda. And once you learn that then you can see all the techniques. I was thinking about doing that live sometime. Just turning on MSNBC and just saying click, okay pause. All right that was propaganda. Here's what they did. All right play. Okay pause. Because I think every 10 seconds, like literally every 10 seconds, you could pause it and say all right here's what they just did and just show the trick. I'm going to do that one of these days.

Anyway one of the tricks that MSNBC did — this was spotted by Paul Bond. This was good spotting. Remember when Elon Musk had a little ex, his kid, and he was in the Oval Office and the press was asking them questions? And you thought to yourself, man this is great because it's both Trump and Musk, the two people that you'd want to ask questions to. They're completely open to questions. They're making the time. They're answering as transparently as you'd want. And wow this is good. A lot of questions getting answered. MSNBC played it without the sound so that they could talk over it. So all you'd see is something that didn't look right. Because if you just saw the video and you didn't know that they were doing a real good job of answering all of our questions it would look like, wait a minute, there's somebody, that Musk guy, he doesn't appreciate the decorum and respect of the Oval Office. He's not wearing a necktie and he's brought his kid in there. And then you'd say to yourself, ah it looks like he's trying to be the co-president because Trump's sitting at a desk but Musk is standing up and getting all the attention. And oh this is our co-president. Pure propaganda to run the video and then just talk over it. Pure propaganda. Did CNN do that? No. Did Fox do that? No. They could say things after it but if you don't even play the video it's just pure propaganda.

Anyway I saw a post by Paul, and he was mocking yet another MSNBC employee who did a little video about I don't know, doesn't matter. She was mad about renaming the Gulf of Mexico or something like that. But she had the gigantic crazy eyes. And I hope I'm the one who's making this a thing because as Paul pointed out she has crazy eyes and it was the craziest eyes I've ever seen. There's just these gigantic saucers. At first I thought it was AI because I didn't think okay nobody really has gigantic eyes like that. But not only were the eyes gigantic, I'm not entirely sure but it looked like she had her eyebrows removed from the normal place and placed about halfway up her forehead. I've never seen eyebrows that far away from eyes and gigantic eyes too. And I really have a question. Why do these giant-eyed people, the crazy eyes, why are they all on one side? What is causing that crazy eye thing?

Now what it looks like is that when the eyes go wide they know they're imagining as opposed to talking about facts. And they know that they have to open their eyes to sell what they're saying because it's so ridiculous. If I told you that there was a UFO in my backyard I'd open my eyes like this. And there's a UFO in my backyard. This isn't the case that I'm imagining it. It's not really there. But if there were really a UFO in your backyard you probably wouldn't do that with your eyes. You'd say, "You can't believe it. There's a UFO in my backyard. Yeah I can show it to you. Here's my picture." The truth does not require those eyes. Those eyes do accompany making stuff up. So once you see it you can't unsee it. The big Adam Schiff eyes, the AOC eyes, the Elizabeth Warren eyes. You see the pattern. Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren, AOC. They all have crazy eyes. You just watch them talk.

Anyway I guess Trump just fired two dozen immigration judges according to Politico. That's a good start. The immigration judges are the ones who are granting asylum to people. Now why are we not just dismantling the asylum system? Wasn't that the whole problem? The thing that allowed the Democrats to lie to the public forever is that they'd say oh we don't have many illegals coming across because they would just call them legal. All they do is have judges say okay you're applying for asylum. All right good. Now you're legal until we make a decision that the asylum sticks or it doesn't. They were legal because they'd gone through our process to claim asylum. So why is there no conversation about just getting rid of that? Because there can't be that many people who legitimately need asylum. There must be some way to handle it without just having everybody who comes across the border apply for it. So I don't know. Seems like that should be on the chopping block.

We just found out that the California Department of Finance revealed that California taxpayers are spending 9.5 billion to provide health care to illegal aliens. That's just the health care. That would be a third of our deficit spending just for the health care. If you added the other expenses pretty much the entire economic problem of California, which is pretty bad, is from immigration. I think it's going to be two-thirds of it and the rest is just poor management. So yeah we're a mess. It's just I don't know how history is ever going to deal with this. The fact that California and other places, we opened our borders. We invited unlimited people to come in to take our money. Who invites unlimited people in to take your money? Well people who are not giving away their own money. It's people who are giving away other people's money. You wouldn't invite people to give in your own money. So as long as you can make some money by having other people give away their money I guess it's going to happen. So that's pretty bad.

In other news, and part of the news is that this is in the news so the news is that it's news, instead of a secret apparently there's a massive shipment of 2,000-pound bombs from the US to Israel. Now why would Israel suddenly need a massive shipment of gigantic bombs? And these are ones that had been prevented. I guess Biden had not allowed these. So Trump is allowing gigantic shipments of very large bombs. The Times of Israel is reporting. Now the reason I say the story is that it's a story is, is this the sort of thing we would normally be aware of or is this negotiating with Hamas? Hey Hamas, you know when we said that if you don't release all of the hostages that there would be hell to pay? Well they know what hell looks like now I assume. But I don't know that these are specifically for crushing tunnels because there's not much left. You wouldn't need these bombs for blowing up buildings in Gaza because they're all already blown up. The only thing left is all the tunnels. I mean I might be exaggerating a little but basically it's the tunnels. So is this a done deal that these are going to be used to clean out the tunnels or is this part of the negotiating? Because at the same time I guess Saudi Arabia's got some Arab countries getting together to figure out what to do. And they're trying to figure out how to deal with Hamas but also rebuild Gaza which doesn't look very possible. But the Trump effect is interesting because he's making other countries step up. So Saudi is really stepping up. They're hosting the people who make the most difference over there to have some serious conversations about how they can be the solution. I don't know what they're going to come up with but it probably helps. It probably helps negotiating with Hamas to know that Israel has already brought in the weapons of their complete destruction. So I feel like Hamas is never going to deal or negotiate not in any serious way. So I feel like the next step will be massive bombs taken out tunnels and then we'll probably keep negotiating. We'll take out a few tunnels and they'll say now do you want to quit and release the hostages? Nope. All right here's another tunnel. Boom. Will that result in the death of some of the hostages? It could. Yeah it could.

Trump causes some trouble by posting I guess the other day. He said this quote from Napoleon: "He who saves his country does not violate any law." So that's Napoleon. And then what do you think people said about that? Now the context apparently is that these executive orders are for the benefit of the country so there shouldn't be these courts calling them illegal because if he's saving the country that can't be illegal. But of course it can be illegal. And it caused somebody like Adam Schiff of course to say that it was spoken like a true dictator. So why does he do this? Why would Trump, whose biggest problem is that he's being accused of being like a dictator, why would he quote a dictator and embrace the dictator's philosophy in public? What would be the reason for that? Now if it's the usual reason it's just to distract the bad guys so they'll talk about that instead of talking about some way to actually defeat him. So it could be a distraction. It could be just for fun. I don't know. I don't think I would have done it but we'll see how that turns out. I wouldn't have advised it.

Meanwhile ChatGPT-4 is out and Sam Altman says it does lots of great things but it's also the best search engine. It's the best search engine out there. And so I said to myself, huh. Now that we know what USAID is, that according to Mike Benz it's basically just a front for CIA activity and that all of those things we think are foreign aid are really just mechanisms to build resources and get our agents in and get influence over another country no matter what the charity is called. It's really only for that one purpose. Now that's what I believe is true. But here's what ChatGPT-4, which Sam Altman says is one of the best or the best search engine I guess — I think he says the best — I asked it, "Is USAID mostly a front for the CIA?" Because if it's a good search engine it's going to get the right answer which I already know because Mike Benz has taught us this. And here's what ChatGPT said: "While USAID itself is not a CIA front there is a documented history of its programs being exploited for intelligence and covert operations and this has led to skepticism." Now it gave examples that during the Cold War there were several examples where USAID was in fact a cover for some CIA activity. But ChatGPT is acting like that stopped a long time ago. Oh yeah there were a few notable exceptions in the news but that was way back. Oh but the thing is we only find out about these things 40 years after they happen. And then it said yeah so that was his answer. Nope it's not a front for the CIA.

Meanwhile Elon Musk, the reason he's gone quiet today — allegedly quiet, we'll see if he can last — is that he's working on the next release of Grok 3 which he had claimed will be the most powerful AI in the world. So apparently it's trained faster, better, more completely than anything else and he's going to be honing the product all weekend. So it should be released tomorrow at 8 p.m. Pacific time. So we'll get a whole new AI.

You know that case of the whistleblower who was found dead and it was very suspicious circumstances and it was ruled a suicide but didn't have the tells of a suicide. It looked very much like he got murdered according to evidence on his body etc. And the family hired a private pathologist that said that the gunshot and injuries are inconsistent with suicide. And I guess the police ignored that and they just closed the investigation saying there is insufficient evidence of homicide. Okay let's connect some dots. Now I don't know what's going on so this is just pure speculation. But we do know Marc Andreessen told us that the intelligence community in the United States has said directly to the people who would invest in new startups, don't invest in too many AI startups because we're going to make sure that just a few big ones dominate and we'll have connections into them basically. So in other words we do know and it's just common sense. It's just common sense if AI is going to be as powerful as everybody thinks then of course our intelligence people need to get control over it for their purposes. Now you might say no I don't want that and you might be right. So I'm not saying what's right or wrong. But certainly the same people who thought they needed to control all of the media, if they thought they needed to control the news and they thought they needed to control social media, do you think they're not trying to control AI? Of course they are. Of course they are.

But what's different from news and internet is that we're all convinced that whoever has the best AI, whatever country, will dominate the economies of the future. So our CIA and our intelligence people have first of all an interest because it's where people will go to get information. So they want to control the information just like they do in every other domain including foreign countries by the way. So the effort is not just domestic. So of course there is 100% chance that our intelligence people and therefore effectively our military thinks that a US very robust strong AI situation is the best for the country.

So what would happen if the most vulnerable part of the entire industry which is the copyright situation, what if that turned against the AI companies and in particular OpenAI which seems to be at least the most funded? Well that would give our intelligence community a reason to murder whoever was going to ruin the entire AI industry with some whistleblowing. Because all it would take is one victory over copyright violation and then the floodgates would open and then you would get other whistleblowers and maybe our entire industry might be crippled. Now this is a problem that China presumably won't have because they've got the dictator situation going on. So what would happen if America crippled its own AI for completely legitimate reasons meaning that there were people who had legitimate legal complaints and our justice system worked the way it's supposed to, took them seriously and maybe put an injunction on AI and said okay you can't develop this until we settle this case. It's going to take three years to get it through the Supreme Court. What would that do to American AI? It would destroy it and then we would fall behind and China and anybody else would take over. And then that would put us at what we would think would be a gigantic domestic threat.

So putting it all together, you're the CIA or you're the intelligence community of the United States and this whistleblower presents really an existential threat to the entire country. Now I'm not saying that's true. I'm saying that you could easily imagine they would think it's true. That he's an existential threat to the entire country because it could take down our biggest AI companies and stall them and then nothing happens and we lose the biggest weapon that's ever been developed. So under these conditions and the suspiciousness of the case being called suicide I think it's exactly what it looks like. I think it's exactly what it looks like. It looks like it's an inside job and somebody on what should be our team probably just killed him. And it might be exactly what it looks like because I'm trying to imagine the alternative. I don't think there's an alternative where our intelligence community would just let this run through the courts. It would be an existential risk and a really obvious one and one they had the ability to stop through the worst possible means. So I certainly have complete empathy for the family and the fact that they I don't think they'll ever have closure on this. But you could sort of see how the dots connect. I don't know. So I'm not saying that's true but I don't know how it could go any other way. I just don't know how there could be any other way this would have gone. I think under every situation the person who's this whistleblower with this claim who had documents, could prove it with documents, I think that person dies every time. And you can't be happy about that.

Well how many of you watched at least some clips from a US hockey team playing a Canadian team? I don't pay attention to hockey so is it some kind of playoff situation? It's a playoff right? And is that what it is? So give me a fact check. I don't know why the US team and the Canadian team were playing. Is it just a normal league play? They're in the same league? Is that a thing? All right well anyway. So for some reason it seemed like an important hockey game. And I guess the American national anthem when it was sung the Canadians booed which seemed quite disrespectful to the American team. So the American team just decided that they're going to start three fights in the first nine seconds or something. And of course everybody knows that hockey players fight a lot and it's a weird sport because the fighting is allowed up to a point. The refs actually stand back. So instead of breaking it up they stand back and they let the fight play out. Now they must have some kind of internal rules where if the fighters go down, like if one drags the other one down to the ice, they break it up immediately. But as long as they're both standing on their skates and they put their stick down — I don't think they can fight by hitting each other with their hockey stick. That probably would be out of bounds. But if the only thing they're doing is punching each other while they're standing apparently the refs let that go as long as they want, as long as the people want to keep punching each other. And I'm sure if the other teammates tried to get into it the refs would stop it. So it's such a weird little not really even a sport rule that you can punch each other all day long as long as you do it within these — you don't even need a reason. If the reason was the national anthem well good enough.

But watching how theatrical it happened and then watching what appeared to be nobody getting hurt whatsoever, it looked like they were throwing wild punches. They started throwing punches when both of them had helmets on and they're punching the helmets and then the helmets come off and then there's a whole bunch of more punching. But you really couldn't see anybody connect. It looked like they could just do these fake punching all day long because as long as they were sort of holding each other by the jersey they seem to be able to avoid the worst part of the punch. And it reminded me of — you remember when Jerry Springer was a huge phenomenon on TV and after a while there would be a fight every single episode? So somebody who was on the panel up there on the stage with Jerry Springer would always every single show attack somebody who they didn't like who was also on stage. And it would look wild and the punches would be thrown and the slapping and the hair pulling but eventually they'd be pulled apart. And I started thinking wow the first few times I saw it I thought wow that's lucky nobody got hurt. And then it would happen a thousand times in a row like every single week and never did anybody get hospitalized. I didn't even see a black eye. So it was obvious to me at the time that the fights were staged. But let's call it semi-staged. Meaning that they didn't necessarily say all right you can only be on TV if you get in a fight but we'll break it up don't hurt each other. I don't think they did that. But I think that once it was obvious that fighting was going to be allowed they maybe selected people who were a little bit more willing to do it. Maybe there was subtle encouragement. I think there was. But I remember talking to people who didn't understand that the fighting was all staged and people would say oh no I think they're just mad at each other and there's just a lot of fighting. And I would say okay you believe that a thousand times in a row that somebody decided to take a swing at somebody on stage a thousand times in a row and a thousand times in a row without anybody ever getting seriously hurt. Really? That looks organic to you? And that's when I realized how dumb the world was because I was surrounded by adult people who voted who believe that was real just organically happening. And I would try to convince them no no it's more like the old professional wrestling. It's part of the show. It's just entertainment. No it's not organic. And people would mock me and they would say of course it's organic what are you talking about. And I thought oh my God we're in trouble if you can't tell that's fake.

So then I look at these fights in hockey. These look like fake fights to me. But again I don't think anybody ever said to the hockey players all right remember when you're fighting make it really fake. I just think they know that if they hospitalize another player it's going to come back to them. And so they try to make sure that maybe they graze a chin. Maybe somebody gets a little tweak in the ear but mostly they're just punching the air and punching in the general direction of people with no sense that they're trying to hurt anybody.

But you know how impressed we get that Trump does things that other people say were impossible? Well here's what Trump did when it comes to hockey. Because obviously Trump's comments are the reason that Canada and the US are acting aggressive towards each other. Trump actually made me like hockey. I loved watching those fights even though they look so staged. Not staged but they didn't look serious. I mean they weren't two people really trying to hurt each other. So when I heard the playback of the booing and you hear somebody booing the national anthem it just automatically gets your juices going. You're like what? There has to be some response to this. They booed the national anthem of our country. And then you see the Americans just throw down their gloves and just go trying to punch the out of the Canadian player just because they're a Canadian player. And the Canadian players having none of it and punching back just as hard or harder. And it was so male. I just sort of liked that. I mean I really like I genuinely enjoyed watching every one of the fights. Every fake punch they threw because it fell right. It just hit me exactly where I wanted to be hit so to speak. So I'm definitely going to be watching the next hockey game between Canada and the United States for the fights.

All right. So apparently DOGE might be auditing Fort Knox to see if they have really gold there. Have you heard that rumor? It's a conspiracy theory I guess that Fort Knox hasn't had any actual gold. It's all been stolen or moved somewhere. Well Zero Hedge the publication Zero Hedge brought it up on X and I think Elon Musk saw that comment and the next thing you know it looks like Fort Knox is going to get audited. Now what do you think? Do you think the gold is there? Hasn't been audited in 50 years. Do you think that in the United States gold can sit in a secure facility for 50 years and nobody stole it? I don't know. I don't know. I think Alex Jones was reporting that there seems — was it him? Somebody was saying that there seems to be some gold moving around the world and maybe a little hoarding and that China might be hoarding some gold. And it makes me wonder if there is any preparation for paper money collapsing. Could it be that China and United States figure that if regular paper money goes to hell which seems like it's heading that direction that the only value will be gold and that we'll at least have that and there'll be some way to go forward. I don't know. Makes you wonder what's up but we'll find out if there's an audit.

According to people matters the DOGE layoffs went a little too far with some nuclear weapons experts and they were fired by mistake and then rehired. So is it — I don't know if they were weapons or just nuclear experts. A little unclear on that. But this is exactly the way the system is supposed to work. Remember the whole point of DOGE, the sort of the DNA of the operating principle is they're going to move fast. They know they're going to break stuff and then when somebody points it out they're going to fix it. So move fast, break stuff fast, fix stuff fast. Here it is. They moved fast. They made some mistakes. Hiring people said whoa whoa whoa we can't replace these nuclear experts. You're going to have to keep them. And then they're rehired. Now I don't know if they successfully rehired them but the point is this is exactly what I want to see. I want to see they go too far but they go fast. They make mistakes. They fix it. Move on. Perfect. That's the perfect system. It incorporates the fact that there will be mistakes and then it just deals with them.

All right. I guess JD Vance gave a provocative speech at that European security conference whatever it was called and went at the Europeans for saying you know why do you expect our help in America when you're opposing our most basic core values of free speech by trying to censor Americans? I love that frame. Why are we helping you if you're trying to stop the very thing that makes America America, free speech? So you could do it to yourselves. We don't recommend it but don't do it to us. If you're trying to censor us and you're asking for us to defend you, no. And I think that has to be a hard no. I literally think if Europe is censoring the United States we should give them no defense whatsoever. None. 100% on board with letting Europe fall to whoever wants to take them over because if they can't give us that one thing, the one thing that they should just keep the out of our business with what we say in America, absolutely not. And I'm not joking about that. I say zero defense for Europe as long as they're trying to censor us in the United States. Zero. No. There's no negotiating on that. You need to get that stuff taken care of because no, hard no. We're not going to do a thing for you. We could watch Russia just roll up Europe. I'd be fine with it if that's the alternative. If that's the alternative I'm fine with it because you know what Putin doesn't do? Putin doesn't try to censor us does he? Has Putin ever tried to censor the United States? I don't believe so. But if we get censored by Europe and they do have a way to do that because they can get our multinational corporations in trouble, so not cool. That you're just dead to me. That's what I feel. So good job JD Vance. He got really good grades for not just presenting America well but doing it extra well and saying what needed to be said.

Palmer Luckey is on Shawn Ryan's podcast and he had some interesting things to say about manufacturing. He said that Trump understands that if we don't manufacture in America we're just everyone else's. So he talked about how China could just turn off the economy of the United States anytime it wants because we can't manufacture over here. And if we can't get the Chinese goods we're basically dead. So it is an enormous strategic risk to have your manufacturing outsourced. And it looks like it's coming back. I think we'll figure out how to get some of it back. But yeah I would agree with Palmer Luckey that if you can't manufacture in America you don't really have a future. I think that's fair to say. You don't have a future if you can't manufacture locally.

If you're not following the account by Zion Lights which is a person's first and last name, first name Zion last name Lights just like it sounds like the lights you turn on, she is one of our best journalists slash experts on nuclear energy and follows US plus Europe. And it's really sad to see that Germany phased out their nuclear. Now they had reasons of course. They have people afraid of it and blah blah blah. But apparently they didn't accomplish their goals for CO2 which they could have been a lot closer to if they kept their nuclear. And they're in a world of hurt. And Great Britain is currently pro-nuclear at the government level but the society is resisting it. So there's a big pushback in Great Britain.

And here's what I think. I think again this could be one of America's advantages over everybody except perhaps China because China's just going gung-ho with every form of energy they can get because they have unlimited need for energy. So they're doing everything right. Just energy first boom boom boom. And I think the United States is maybe finally at a place where we can just say let's do what makes sense. And we weren't there for decades. For decades we were like no nuclear power will kill us all and we don't know what to do with the waste. And all those problems were solved. Those are all solved problems. The safety, the waste, it's all solved. The waste you basically just keep on site. That's a total solution. So I think that the fact that Democrats at least in leadership, Democrats and also leader Republicans and also the president are unambiguously pro-nuclear power, pro-nuclear power is really really a good sign. And you know all of Silicon Valley is pro-nuclear power because they need it for AI and everything else. So if you've got all your tech geniuses, your top Republicans and your top Democrats just fully on board with nuclear power we're in much better shape than the countries that are not like that. So France is looking strong. They were early and smart on nuclear power so they've got a good nuclear power system going there. But in America is probably 10 to 20 years from being able to seriously say we made a difference in nuclear but maybe faster if we do the small modular stuff. We'll see.

Well meanwhile Zelensky over in Ukraine is calling for the formation of a European armed force. Now the idea is that since Trump is saying well we can't do everything in America. We're doing too much. You need to take care of yourself Europe. That Zelensky says they're going to need a European armed force. Now it would not replace NATO. It would augment it. It would be to boost NATO's power but also have their own independent military. I guess independent is the wrong word but a European military. Now does anybody care what Zelensky thinks Europe should do? I don't even need to discuss whether this is a good idea or a bad idea. It came from Zelensky. I don't think anybody's listening to him anymore.

Indeed it looks like Trump and Putin are planning to meet in Saudi. We don't have a date yet but they're going to meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss the war. Do you know who they're not bringing? They're not bringing Zelensky to the conversation about ending the war in Ukraine. Do you know why they're not bringing Zelensky? Why would you? He's not relevant because he's going to do whatever we tell him to do in the end. But they're also not bringing anybody from Europe. So there'll be no European and no Ukrainian. Just Trump and Putin deciding what a peace would look like. And I think the implication is that if Trump comes up with a deal Europe's just going to have to eat it. So better hope it's a deal that Europe can live with. Because and I have to admit if this were a normal situation you would want all the stakeholders to be involved. You'd want everybody who had an interest to be weighing in. But I go back to Jamie Dimon. When Jamie Dimon was doing his rant that got recorded he was being mad at his own employees and his own company for not stepping up. Basically one of the things he talked about was somebody who couldn't get something done without 14 different departments approving it. And he was just saying you can't do that. You can't run a great company where if you want to do something 14 different departments have to approve it. And he said something like give me the names of those 14 department heads and I'll fire them today because they shouldn't be doing that. They're not on the right side if there are 14 of them.

This is a similar situation and it's one of the things I like most about Trump is the business experience. Do you think Trump doesn't know that if he brings even one extra person in it fucks up the whole thing? Of course he knows that. What would happen if you brought two extra people to your negotiation? It fucks up twice as badly. What if you brought three different countries that all have an interest? Then it's triple. So Trump is doing the only thing that can work. Jamie Dimon is telling you the only thing that can work is you can't bring in 14 people. You just can't do it. There's no way to get from here to there through 14 different interests. You've got to find something that works for two key players, arguably the two important ones. And then if you're going to get it done you've got to shove it down the throats of the other people even if it's not their perfect solution. There's no other way to do it. So if you think he's being a dictator and blah blah blah well no more than Jamie Dimon. Somebody's got to be in charge and somebody's got to say this process can work. This other process where you've got 14 people deciding what works, that can never work. That can never work. So if you want something to work yeah two people at a summit is how I would do it. That's exactly how I would do it. And I would definitely leave Zelensky home. No doubt about that.

So anyway but also Saudi Arabia is hosting that Arab summit as I said. So I like the fact that Saudi is acting like a real ally. Have you noticed that? It feels like not all of our allies act like allies but there might be some exceptions. I don't know about but I do appreciate that Saudi seems somewhat consistently trying to make sure that America and Saudi Arabia have a strong ongoing connection and they're not sabotaging us while secretly trying to help us or vice versa. So I know I'm speaking too soon and maybe they're doing things we don't like as well but I kind of like the way it looks, the way it feels. So good job Saudi Arabia so far.

And then according to the University of California San Francisco did you know that there's an alarming rise in advanced prostate cancer in California? So California more than other states but also the other states stopped reducing the cancer deaths and they've plateaued. So the idea is that specific cancer, prostate cancer, has gotten worse in California. Now NPCs would you like to blame the vaccination for that? NPCs remember swimming is the best form of exercise, French press is the best for coffee, and that green stuff is Soylent Green. Now this started before the pandemic. Before the pandemic listen to me before the pandemic this trend started. It seems related to they say it's related to less screening. So the less screening they say is leading to worse outcomes. I'm not entirely sure that makes a difference because I've seen studies that say that Great Britain doesn't do as much screening as we do for this specific cancer and their life expectancies are much different. So there's a little conflicting data. Some data says that this screening doesn't make a difference but California's seeming to indicate it did. I don't know. I don't trust any news. I don't trust any data. Remember all data is the fox counting the chickens and you can never trust the fox to count the chickens. But the only thing I wanted to point out is this is a case where it definitely happened before the pandemic and before the vaccinations. So there might be some several unrelated reasons that the cancer rates are up that don't have to do with vaccinations and don't have to do with COVID. But also there could be some of that. So I'm not ruling out that any of that's — I'm not saying that the vaccinations do or do not cause a problem like that but there do seem to be some other reasons. So just so you heard that.

Well if you didn't know it I posted on Locals yesterday and then I reposted on X a lesson on risk management. Now before you tell me what I'm going to tell you just wait for me to say it first okay. Nobody cares about who got a vaccination during the pandemic. It's old news, old story. But it's a really good lesson in risk management. And I would argue that if you weren't good at risk management you often said something like — and people said this to me in comments to my lesson. They said Scott the only thing I needed to know is that the government said it was a good idea and it was called experimental. So therefore that's all I needed to know. And so I thought to myself are there any examples where the government wanted you to do something that was good for you? Because if everything the government recommends is bad for you that's a pretty good reason. If every time the government said you should do this was always wrong just always then I guess you wouldn't need to know anything else. You just say oh who's saying it? Oh the government's saying it. Okay well I'm not going to do that.

But then I thought to myself how many things are there that the government says you should do that are good ideas? Are there any? I see you saying seat belts and smallpox. Well doesn't the government say you probably shouldn't have asbestos in your house? They say that right? Are they wrong? Should you put some asbestos in your house? How about the food pyramid? The food pyramid used to be all wrong and maybe it's a little wrong now but would you do the opposite of the food pyramid? Would you eat a bunch of processed foods and sugar foods as much as you wanted because the government says you shouldn't?

So I guess you have to ask yourself what is the — the people who haven't seen my video they still think they know how to do risk management. So I tried to deal with those of you who really don't understand any risk management whatsoever. Those of you who just said the government said it's good for me therefore it's bad. Or related to that Pfizer said it's good for me therefore it's bad. Or we use the word experimental. They said it's experimental and therefore why would I take an experimental? Those are not reasons. If you thought that that was good risk management that you're just looking at who said it that doesn't really work. How many of you don't know that that's not really any kind of standard? That's part of reason. That's like reading chicken entrails and trying to predict the future. That's like a horoscope. It's like flipping a coin. That it's not part of the reasoning. It's not part of reason. It's just irrational. But sometimes irrational reasons can get you to the right answer. If it's a coin flip if there are only two possibilities it's good for you or it's not then any method you use is likely to have a 50% chance of working. All right I'm going to pray to the sun gods. Well you had a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer no matter how ridiculous your reasoning was to get there.

So here's what's happened. I've just got tired of stupid people. So the stupid people who are giving me stupid reasons for why they did or did not get the shot you just have to understand that you're stupid and just leave me alone. So if you don't want to listen to my risk analysis just leave me alone because you're not part of any helpful anything. You like to brag that you got one lucky thing right. I'm not going to put up with it anymore. So it's also good to find out who to block. So I blocked all the people who said oh I just listened to the government and did the opposite.

Every once in a while the government gets one right but no. And the same people are now going to say oh Scott says you should do whatever the government says because their reasoning is so bad that they have to distort what I say to disagree with it. If you actually agreed with what or if you had a reason you'd give a reason but usually oh he's so dumb he just believes whatever he's told. The opposite of the risk management lesson I give you. All right yes my critics are experiencing severe cognitive dissonance. Now you can decide if I'm the one. You can just listen to the video and you would very quickly detect if I had cognitive dissonance because I make a bunch of claims and you can just look at them all. It either fits together or it doesn't. And if you don't think it fits together somebody says my risk management was better than yours. Well not your reasoning. Yeah not your reasoning. Just trying to help.

All right so again nobody cares about the pandemic. It's old news. But it might help you understand how risk management works. For those of you who want to stick around on Locals I'm going to say hi to you. The rest of you have a great Sunday. I'll see you tomorrow same time same place but local supporters only. I will be private with you in 30 seconds.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams because it is and 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 cup or muger a glass of tanker Chalin the canteen Drago flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous SI and it happens now go well I don't know about you but what I really needed this weekend was a little less news and thank goodness we got a little bit less news uh Trump's been kind of quiet I mean he caused a little bit of trouble but Elon Musk says he's taken the at least a day or two off because he's getting ready to launch the newest uh AI Gro so things got strangely quiet but yet there's plenty to talk about did you know that TMZ is reporting that Kanye West I call him yay uh and his wife Bianca uh they don't have a prenup agreement they don't have a prenuptual agreement so good job yay at what point did he think this one's forever so so that's y's situation uh and then if you were anywhere near social media yesterday on X you'd know that uh allegedly I'm not even sure this is confirmed yet but allegedly Ashley stclair who's a conservative leaning uh she's being called an influencer but that feels a little feels a little dismissive because I think she's more of a writer and has a bigger impact so I would call her a writer and uh she's uh claiming that she had a real life um Affair I guess with musk and has had her had his baby 5 months ago so and then allegedly there's there's some agreement about the raising of the baby that hasn't been uh finalized so yay didn't finalize his paperwork that looks like a problem and doesn't look like Elon finalized his paperwork and feels like a problem uh so this is my advice don't get involved with anybody unless you've got a lawyer with you you should bring the lawyer on the first date maybe the second date too it's like uh hi you know my name's Bob and this is my attorney he'll be negotiating the paperwork in case this comes to anything uh will you or will you not be using birth control and uh we'd like a clause in there that would uh you know protect our client so that's what it looks like in the future um I'll tell you one of the things that came out of the whatever is going on between Ashley and Elon which is really none of our business but it became public uh was there ever a point you said to yourself man I'm so jealous of Elon he he doesn't have to have a wife and he doesn't need to have like a girlfriend who's giving him trouble he can just create all these baby mamas as long as he can afford it it's going to be great and now I'm thinking how in the world can you survive with that many baby mamas who who all just have just one thing they want to ask you today you know you know what would be good is if I had a little bit extra money this month do do you think it ever stops you know I wonder if he ever like he ever stops getting messages you know you know one of the kids is a little older wouldn't be bad if you know we had an extra million uh I don't know how it's going but I hope he is choosing his baby mam well um I think some of them are working out pretty well actually well nval rant was a guest on Allin pod and I loved one thing he said because it it just calms everybody down so I'm going to repeat it there's no indication uh this is me paraphrasing so not his words but there's no indication that AI is going to reduce the number of jobs there's a lot of indication it will be a tremendous Aid to people in jobs there's a lot of indication that some jobs you know entire slices of Industries will change but that is a normal thing there are entire industries that used to exist when I was a kid that don't exist now so Industries coming and going pretty normal but as uh nval puts it it's not so much that AI will cause you to get another job because as he points out job sort of indicates you have a boss and you had to apply for it but it could be the AI will create what Nal calls opportunities so you can say to yourself hey I don't know much about this or that but if I use AI I'll be as smart as anybody who does this or that so I'll become a person who provides whatever service or goods and I'll use AI to figure out how to do it and it leave even do most of the work but it wouldn't do it on its own and you're probably always going to need a human to sign papers and work out weird little problems and negotiate things as you go so this is very much what I've been speculating for a while that uh we can't predict AI but it didn't look like it was going to take jobs so I I've sort of been on this uh on this path for a while but it's good to see nval say it because you know he's smarter so it's good when smart people agree with you all right here's here's something that probably is a nothing but might be a really big thing now before I tell you I would like to say what the NPCs will say you know I do this as a service so they don't have to do it when I'm done I want you to yell that's soil and green I don't want to live in a tiny house swimming is the best form of exercise and you can't make me eat that and I won't eat bugs all right does that cover everything that's that's everything the obvious people say okay now now that that's covered you don't need to say those things do you get it it's so you don't need to say them you could yeah and French Press is the best way to make coffee thank you thank you for adding that that that needed to be said well the story is that according to Ben coxworth really that's his last name coxworth wow must have been tough in high school coxworth come on all right okay um anyway so there's this uh kind of a weed that I guess grows in ponds it's not even a weed it's called duckweed it's more like a green slime that grows on stuff but apparently there's a version of it that's really nutritious and let's say they call it water lentils so I think it's you know it's not a slime so much as it might be little chunks but it's sort of green and chunky and it can grow in a pond and uh apparently it's it's a superfood it's got 35% carbs 20% minerals and up to 40% protein now that would be tremendous amount of protein now you've probably heard me say way too many times wouldn't it be good to have a your own indoor Farm but how in the world could you grow protein in an indoor Farm I know you can grow lettuce and you know so stuff like that that nobody wants to eat too much I mean how much lettuce do you want to eat so I was always saying indoor Farms aren't going to work until you can make protein this is apparent ly something you can do in an indoor facility and it's got protein like crazy and you could add it to just about anything so so uh maybe maybe I'm not sure that this would work at small scale because the indoor facility that they show pictured is a big industrial scale but I don't know it's so so here are the advantage it grows really fast it doesn't need fertilizer it's got tons of nutrients and doesn't yeah doesn't need pesticides doesn't need fertilizer and it doesn't compete with other crops for Farmland it can be sustainably cultivated in Shallow trays of clean water and green houses or vertical Farms so is this what I've been waiting for I don't know what it tastes like I suppose you can flavor it any way you want but if this seems like a you know small and boring little topic I I think we're going to have to get to the point where people are growing their own food you know maybe in small co-ops because all the problems with food are the middleman the chemicals they put in it that you don't want them to put in it the transportation and the storage those are all the problems well you can get rid of all those problems by growing the your own food in your neighborhood if you could grow something with protein so maybe this is it well there's a new hoax have you heard that the Pete heg Seth drinks whiskey in public while doing a presentation hoax so this hoax says that when uh P Heth was giving a giving a talk at uh whatever this was at the uh big security event in Europe that uh that he reached where they always keep a glass of water you know usually if you're a speaker they make sure you've got a water you can drink and and the the thinking was that it was whiskey now here's one of the things that the Democrat hoaxes have in common they're so ridiculous they're so ridiculous do you really think that P Heth who's been accused of you know drinking too much and is before he was uh nominated do you do you think that he stood in front of a huge crowd in a televised event and then picked up a a a glass with a clearly you know Brown looking liquid that wouldn't be water and then drank it in front of the group does anybody think that could really happen in the real world it's just like the fine people hoax and the drinking bleach hoax you don't have to know anything to know it didn't happen that obviously didn't happen and it was just something about the way the light hit the water so so no there's no truth to the thought that he was drinking bourbon or something on stage so dumb meanwhile uh aoc's uh calling for the governor of New York to remove mayor Adams who of course is a Democrat but the Democrats are mad at that Democrat because he's not so keen on immigration and he uh seems to be friendly with Trump and they think he worked on a deal with Trump although he says there was no deal but uh the Trump Administration does seem to be trying to force the dropping of the charges against him the people who understand this you know this field better than I do um say it's completely inappropriate to drop the charges against them there's you know there's no there's no legal reason to drop the charges I'm not sure there's no reason if it looks like lawfare meaning that it's something that wouldn't normally be charged because it's such small ball I feel like that's all the reason you should need do you need more reason than it's law fair I I feel like that's good enough even even if there's a technical violation like he took some you know upgrades on a flight or something I don't care I don't care at all I don't care if the next mayor does that either not really you know if you were taking big cash payments well then we've got different conversation but but a celebrity or a public figure who's traveling and gets upgraded it's just the most normal thing in the world so anyway feels like law fair to me but here's my point on this it looks like Trump found a new way to get rid of Democrats because Democrats automatically disagree with whatever Trump says is right so all Trump has to do is start agreeing with a Democrat about anything and the other Democrats will want to get rid of that person right away so AOC is trying to get rid of Mayor Adams because he's too friendly with Trump that's that seems to be and then they think there's some secret deal which is not not an Evidence um but uh here's what I think uh I think Trump should endorse Adam Schiff just to test it out and say uh yeah Adam Schiff uh we've had some bad interaction in the past but I got to say he's the very best Democrat there is I can't wait to work with him he's the guy that can really help us with magga and next thing you know they'd be asking for him to be impeached because they they just have to be whatever is the opposite of trump so he can take out any Democrat he wants just by saying you know I like that one you know that Federman guy he he's looking real good next thing you know Federman removed from office while the Washington DC real estate market is collapsing everybody's trying to sell their house because they're all getting fired or they're afraid to getting fired or they Democrats on the way out but as uh the account called cynical publicus points out and others have pointed out um among the top seven wealthiest counties in America four of them are around Washington DC so 4 and of seven of the wealthiest counties are right around Washington DC and Washington DC doesn't make any kind of product so how are all these people making so much money it's because they're around the money if you put them around the money they'll start forming Nos and and scams and griffs and everybody's got a pack or a you know some damn thing that needs to get funded and apparently there's almost no fiscal responsibility in Washington that's what do just taught us and if you have no fiscal responsibility gigantic amounts of money and no product being made except people persuading and grifting uh that's what you get if you wait long enough you've got one of the richest counties or four and a seven the richest counties and you haven't done a damn thing that the country wants you've just taken the money that's what it looks like so we'll see if we'll see if that era is coming to an end that might be a little optimistic and what about David hog who's now one of the co-chairs of the democratic party how many of you thought to yourself it seems to me that all the Democrat leaders are actually just Crooks like demonstrably obviously Crooks you know you've heard about the Clinton Foundation you've heard about Hillary Clinton running the Russia collusion hoax you've heard about them doing the 51 laptop thing you've heard about Ukraine you've heard about us Aid you've heard about you know all the NOS it feels like and and of course in my opinion nearly every mayor of every city is corrupt um you know there might be some exceptions but I feel like you almost have to be corrupt to be mayor in in this this country um so what happens when David hog comes out of nowhere and next thing you know he's a one of the heads of the DNC well according to PJ media Matt Margolis and some other people talking about this um as soon as he got into that position he used the the mailing list that belongs to the DNC to raise money for his own political action committee and his own political action committee pays his uh $100,000 a year so he gets he gets put as one of the heads of the DNC the Democrat National Committee and then almost right away uses their internal source to raise money for himself literally for himself now it's for his pack which pays him so you know feels like it's for himself um so that's exactly what we expected now I I'm genuinely curious genuinely curious do all criminals become Democrats because they know they can get away with more or does becoming a Democrat turn you into a criminal because obviously I'm aware that there Republicans were grifters and corrupt Etc obviously but we don't really hear about it much do we it it feels like it's an exception or it's you know something happened with some underling somewhere but it feels like every single Democrat is is corrupt like all the leaders and somewhat obviously to to me it looks like well this is obvious I won't name names but there's some people just the way they act they couldn't possibly be acting independently it's it's so obvious they're getting a paycheck of some kind you you know directly or indirectly that no just nobody would act like that that nobody would act that dumb in public intentionally anyway speaking back in Du public I was watching uh Adam Schiff um who's got kind of a theatrical um let's say interest I guess you wanted to be a script writer at one point and he was getting so theatrical when he was questioning somebody in one of these hearings that it was actually impressive iive he wasn't really even trying to you know make an argument on points cuz he was totally losing on whatever the argument was he was getting killed so he just kept ratcheting up the emotion and then you're saying and then you're saying that you would give money under these conditions uh no I'm not saying so you're saying it well no it's the opposite I'm not oh so you're saying You' give money so under these conditions you would throw the Constitution under the bus is that right uh no nothing like that so all right we've agreed you would throw the Constitution under the boss and and the amount of emotion that was obviously theatrical and fake was kind of impressive so it made me think he's a terrible politician but I bet he actually would be good in theater like legitimately legitimately he looks like he has the chops so he could be professional actor anyway so he's got a future there uh speaking of grift here's what David Sachs says about Ukraine he says uh with Americans becoming exhausted with forever wars in the Middle East the quote democracy promotion grifters at usaid and Ned and the rest of the NOS needed a new cause Ukraine was perfect as the most corrupt country in Europe it would allow them to expropriate billions now is that just the Republican narrative because it's the one I see and it looks obvious to me do you think Democrats understand that Ukraine was part grift and part neocon wanting to destroy Russia or do do Democrats think that we were protecting this spunky little country because it should be part of NATO like what what do Democrats really think Ukraine was all about do they really not have any access to the narratives that are coming out from the Republicans it it feels like they just think well let's just give them infinite more money that should solve everything because Putin's a bad bad man I'm not saying Putin's a good man I'm just saying probably this was a com combination of people who looked for enormous grift opportunities and found them and people who wanted to destroy Russia and it was a opportunistic way to do it so no it looks like a giant scam to us meanwhile um mar Mario nul is reporting that uh Tucker Carlson had a conversation with the prime minister of Hungary Victor Orban now if you're not following closely Romania is one of those countries that is uh sort of close to a trump-like view of the world you know a conservative uh not buying into the mass immigration kind of thing and so what would be the fate of Hungary that just wants to be a independent little country and supportive of the United States would be a supportive country one would be a you know happy to be you know working with us well uh because it's not exactly what the the Democrats want or the liberal Elite as you might say so this is what Victor Orbin says is happening he goes the fact is that the liberal Elite of the West used the taxpayer money of the United States citizens to spread their ideology around the world and finance more than 60 NOS paid politicians and media outlets in Hungary it was a plot against our sovereignty and dependence uh this is exactly how we overthrow other countries we fund a whole bunch of stuff non-government organizations but really its ways to influence things like the media and politicians it's a way to get a whole bunch of money and assets and and intelligence people into somebody's country and Victor Orban is completely aware of it he knows the whole plot he probably can name all 60 Nos and he probably knows exactly which media Outlets are being bought by the United States it's probably exactly what it looks like that the United States is actively trying to overthrow not an enemy this is the scary part uh Hungary is not an enemy so why are we trying to overthrow their government they're pretty much on our side and uh so that's uh probably exactly what it looks like all right as you know it's getting confusing with all the Crooked Democrat judges trying to stop Doge and Trump and the executive orders now there too many to keep track of but what you need to know is that the the general setup is that Trump is using his executive Authority uh largely to fire people downsize and uh you know move budgets around and stuff like that cut budgets move them around and the Democrats are finding one reason after another to you know oppose it all and they're using different judges and all the judges or most of them maybe it's just most they seem to have an obvious conflict of interest you know they've got a relative who's a you know a longtime demograph fundraiser or yeah ba basically they all have some kind of dirty connections that make them corrupt looking now I don't know if they're corrupt but they they definitely have all the Tells for being corrupt and they seem to be acting in a way that almost certainly guarantees that the larger question of who gets to run the executive branch is it the president or does every little pissant judge anywhere in the federal system get to stop anything that happens if they don't like that President because at the moment the courts or at least these allegedly crooked judges are seemingly running the executive branch by saying you can do this you can't do this you can only do it then and there's some thought um that uh maybe this is actually going to be good for Trump and the thought goes like this that what the what Trump really needs to do is get um get some or all of these to the Supreme Court and then let the Supreme Court decide the most critical issue who gets to decide what happens in the executive branch is it the president especially when it comes to budget and Staffing is it the president or is it all these little pan courts all over the country now I feel like I feel like Trump would probably win that if they got to some generalized principle about who's in charge and who can stop you and at the moment the only Power left that the Democrats have since they lost basically everything is these lifetime appointed I think they're lifetime these appointed judges that are clearly just Democrat corrupt operatives so that's the the last power they have so if this stuff gets to the Supreme Court and it becomes a generalized question who gets to decide what's happening in the executive branch I feel like the Supreme Court's going to lean toward Trump you know for all the obvious reasons so it could be that the last the last remaining tool that's you know part of the government anyway or you know I guess part of the judicial um the last remaining tool besides the Soros prosecutors could be removed from the system and not removed but at least ignored and uh maybe maybe cast aside so that could be a really big deal that might actually be part of the Trump strategy is to push every button until this gets to the Supreme Court and then give some clarity and if the clarity goes Trump's way then he can really get busy so what we've seen so far maybe just a preview because the courts are legitimately slowing him down what if that stopped what if the courts stopped slowing him down I mean who knows um anyway that's going to get interesting so on CNN recently uh Cano the great points out that there was a Democrat strategist they just had him on and he was describing why Trump is popular today he and he says that he joined the Democratic party in 1989 because he wanted to fight NAFTA he wanted to drain the swamp and he wanted to make sure his tax dollars weren't being wasted or going to Foreign Wars so he's saying that basically in the 90s uh a Democrat sounds like Donald Trump today so he he says that's why we led him is we've let him steal or verbage now there it is again they think it's the way he says it it's not the way he says it it's what he says people prefer his policies you can look at any poll and then what's the most important stuff and then look at what people think Trump can do is not his verbiage you know he it's not his choice of words it's so ridiculous but he does point out that even you know a lot of the ordinary Democrats would look at Trump and say yeah that's exactly what I wanted all that stuff it's what I wanted you know give or take you know abortion of course but abortion is now more of a state issue actually it's entirely a state issue so he say that's why we keep losing to him um we've quit talking about Americans keeping America safe and blah blah blah blah blah and then and then he sums it up by saying that Trump is scary now here's the funny part the anti-trumpers they can't resist complimenting him because he keeps doing good stuff like they can't really be against him trying to save money you can't really be against that or getting rid of fraud it's hard to be against it you know fixing the Border in days it's hard to hate that stopping Wars looks like he's already going to stop the war in Ukraine one way or another H it's hard to hate that too much so even when the Democrats talk about Trump they've got to give him some props because it's stuff that they want to but then he ends with he's scary okay how did that fit with all these stuff you said about he's a '90s Democrat if Trump is like a '90s Democrat not 100% of course cuz you know abortion and some few some things are different but why is he scary he's scary just because he does exactly what you would do they they just can't avoid throwing in an empty generic insult it's just reflex I don't think as there's any thought involved he his entire good point he was making about Trump being right in the middle of where America wants the president to be that was a solid point and then he ruins the whole thing by saying and he's scary well did you give me any evidence of the scary part the scary part is he gives you exactly what the middle of America wants and most people agree oh that's scary but on the plus side uh I do give CNN credit because they put you know Scott Jennings on the air every day seems like or five days a week and they allowed this you know this uh strategist to say some things about Trump getting right and they do have other people who sometimes say Trump gets some stuff right so the news of course is biased there there are news that's biased on the right there's news is biased on the left like but if you look at Fox News let's just take the five they make sure that they've got somebody there who will say the other side so there's at least always one person there who argue the other point um and then CNN is making sure they have somebody there arguing the other point but you know who doesn't do that MSNBC so here's the mistake if you think MSNBC is like the others it's not even close MSNBC you could do an entire College course on propaganda and all you'd have to do is turn it on for half an hour and then talk about it that that could be the entire class all right let's see what they said today because MSNBC will never tell you that there's even an argument on the other side they won't even mention it unless it's such a bad argument and it's misinterpreted you know it's usually misinterpreted if they talk about the other side so just watch that watch how you know that some Outlets are biased but I don't mind the bias when it's explicit right so if I turn on um Fox News of course they're Pro Trump of course they are but they don't hide it and and they try to cover all the news you know so you you get a little bit of both sides and CNN same thing but MSNBC nope it's pure propaganda and once you learn that then you can see all the technique I I was thinking about doing that live sometime just turning on MSNBC and just saying click okay pause all right that was propaganda here's what they did all right play okay pause because I think every 10 seconds like literally every 10 seconds you could pause it and say all right here's what they just did and just show the trick I'm going to do that one of these days anyway um one of the tricks that MSNBC did this was spotted by Paul Bond this was good spotting remember when Elon Musk had a little ex his a kid and he was in the Oval Office and the Press was asking them questions and you thought to yourself man this is great because it's both Trump and musk the two people that you'd want to ask questions to they're completely open to questions they're making the time they're answering as transparently as as you'd want and wow this is good a lot of questions getting answered MSNBC played it without the sound so that they could talk over it so all You' see is something that didn't look right CU if you just saw the video and you didn't know that they were doing a real good job of answering all of our questions it would look like wait a minute there's somebody that mus guy he doesn't appreciate the decorum and respect of the Oval Office he's not wearing a necktie and he's brought his kid in there and then you'd say to yourself ah it looks like he's trying to be the co-president because you know Trump's sitting at a desk but musk is standing up and getting all the attention and oh this is our co-president Pure propaganda to to run the video and then just talk over it pure propaganda did CNN do that no did Fox do that no no they could say things after it but if you don't even play the video you're just it's just pure propaganda anyway um I saw a post by Paul uh ziola and he was mocking yet another MSN MSNBC employee who did a little video about I don't know doesn't matter she was mad about renaming the Gulf of Mexico or something like that but she had the gigantic crazy eyes and and I I hope I'm the one who's making this a thing because as Paul pointed out um you know she has crazy eyes and it was the craziest eyes I've ever seen there's just these gigantic saucers at first I thought it was AI because I didn't think okay nobody really has gigantic eyes like that but not only with the eyes gigantic I'm not entirely sure but it looked like she had her eyebrows removed from the normal place and placed about halfway up her forehead I've never seen eyebrows that far away from eyes and gigantic guys too and I really have a question why why do these giant eyed people the the Crazy Eyes why are they all on one side what is causing that crazy eye thing now what it looks like yeah what it looks like is that when the eyes go wide they know they're imagining as opposed to talking about facts and they know that they have to open their eyes to sell what they're saying because it's so ridiculous yeah if I told you that there was a UFO in my backyard I'd open my eyes like this and there's a UFO in my backyard this isn't the case that I'm imagining it it's not really there but if there were really a UFO in your backyard you probably wouldn't do that with your eyes you say I you can't believe it there's a there's a UFO in my backyard yeah I can show it to you here's my picture the truth does not require those eyes those eyes do accompany making stuff up so once you see it you can't unsee it the the big Adam Schiff eyes the AOC eyes the Elizabeth Warren eyes you see the pattern Adam Schiff Elizabeth Warren AOC they all have crazy eyes you just watch them talk anyway I guess Trump just fired uh two dozen immigration judges according to Politico that's a good start the imig the immigration judges are the ones who are granting Asylum to people now why are we not just dismantling the Asylum system wasn't that the whole problem the the thing that allowed the Democrats to lie to the public forever is that theyd say oh we don't have many illegals coming across because they would just call them legal all they do is have judges say okay you're applying for Asylum all right good now you're legal CU until we made a decision that the Asylum sticks or it doesn't they were legal because they'd gone through our process to claim Asylum so why is there no conversation about just getting rid of that because there can't be that many people who legitimately need Asylum you know there must must be some way to handle it without just having everybody who comes across the border apply for it so I don't know seems like that should be on the chopping block um we just found out that the uh so the California Department of Finance revealed that the Califoria California taxpayers are spending 9.5 billion to provide Health Care to illegal aliens that's just the healthare that would be a third of our deficit spending just for the health care if you added the other expenses pretty much the entire economic problem of California which is pretty bad is from immigration I I think it's going to be 2third of it and the rest is just poor management so yeah we're a mess um it it's just I don't how history is ever going to you know deal with this the fact that California and other places we opened our borders we invited unlimited people to come in to take our money who invites unlimited people into to take your money well people who are not giving away their own money it's people who are giving away other people's money you wouldn't invite people to give in your own money yeah so as long as you can make some money by having other people give away their money I guess it's going to happen so that's pretty bad in other news um and and part of the news is that this is in the news so the news is that is news uh instead of a secret apparently there's a massive shipment of uh 2,000lb bombs from the US to Israel now why would Israel suddenly need a massive Shi M of gigantic bombs and these are ones that had been prevented uh I guess Biden had not allowed these so Trump is allowing gigantic shipments of very large bombs Times of Israel is reporting now the reason I say the story is that it's a story is is this the sort of thing we would normally be aware of or is this negotiating with Hamas hey Hamas you know when we said that if you don't release all of the um all of the hostages uh that there would be held to pay well they know what hell looks like now I assume but I don't know that these are specifically for crushing tunnels cuz there's not much left you wouldn't need these bombs for blowing up buildings in Gaza cuz they're all they're already blown up the only thing left is all the tunnels I mean I might be exaggerating a little but basically it's the tunnels so is this a done deal that these are going to be used to clean out the tunnels or is this part of the negotiating because at the same time I guess Saudi Arabia's got some Arab countries getting together to figure out what to do and they're trying to figure out how to you know deal with Hamas but also rebuild Gaza which doesn't look very possible but the Trump effect is interesting because he's making other countries step up so Saudi is really stepping up you they're hosting hosting uh you know the people who make the most difference over there to have some serious conversations about how they can they can be the the solution I don't know what they're going to come up with but it probably helps it probably helps negotiating with Hamas to know that Israel has already brought in the weapons of their complete destruction so I feel like you know Hamas is never going to deal or negotiate not in any serious way so I feel like the next step will be massive bombs taken out tunnels and then we'll probably keep negotiating you know we'll take in a few tunnels and they'll say now do you want to quit and release the hostages nope all right here's another tunnel boom will that result in the death of some of the hostages it could yeah it could well so Trump causes some trouble by posting I guess the other day he said this quote from Napoleon he who saves his country does not violate any law so that's Napoleon and then what do you think people said about that now the context apparently is that these executive orders are for the benefit of the country so there shouldn't be these courts calling them illegal because if he's saving the country that can't be illegal but of course it can be illegal and it caused somebody like Adam Schiff of course to say that it was spoken like a true dictator so why does he do this why would Trump whose biggest problem is that he's being accused of being like a dictator is his biggest problem why would he quote a dictator and and embrace the dictator's philosophy in public what would be the reason for that now if it's the usual reason it's just to distract the bad guys so they'll talk about that instead of talking about some way to you know actually defeat him so it could be a distraction it could be just for fun I don't know I don't think I would have done it but we'll see how that turns out I wouldn't have advised it meanwhile uh chat gp4 is out and Sam mman says uh does lots of great things but it's also the best search engine it's the best search engine out there and so I said to myself huh now that we know what US Aid is that according to Mike Ben it's a basically just a front for CIA activity and that all of those things we think are foreign aid are really just mechanisms to build resources and you know get our agents in and get influence over another country no matter what the charity is called it's really only for that one purpose now that's what I believe is true but here's what uh you here's what chat GPT for which Sam mman says is one of the best or one of the best search engines I guess he's I think he says the best um I asked it is USA mostly a front for the CIA because if it's a good search engine it's going to get right the right answer which I already know because Mike Benz has taught us this and here's what Chad GPT said said while usaid itself is not a CIA front there is a documented history of its programs being exploited for intelligence and COV operations and this has led to skepticism now it gave examples that during sort of the Cold War there were several examples where USA was in fact a cover for some CIA activity but Chad GPT is acting like that stopped a long time ago oh yeah there were there were a few notable exceptions in the news but that was way back oh oh but the thing is we only find out about these things 40 years after they happen so um and then it said uh yeah so so that was his answer nope it's not a front for the CIA meanwhile uh Elon Musk the reason he's gone quiet today allegedly quiet we'll see if he can last is that he's working on the next release of grock 3 which he had claimed will be the most powerful AI in the world so apparently it's trained faster better more completely than anything else and he's going to be owning honing the product all weekend so should be released tomorrow at 88 p.m.

Pacific time so we'll get a whole new AI you know that case of speaking of open AI you know the case of the uh The Whistleblower who was found dead and it was very suspicious circumstance and it was ruled a suicide but didn't have the Tells of a suicide it looked very much like he got murdered according to evidence in the uh you know basically on his body Etc and the family hired a private pathologist that said that the gunshot an IES and injuries are inconsistent with suicide and I guess the police ignored that and they just closed the investigation saying there is insufficient evidence of homicide uh okay let's uh connect some dots now I don't know what's going on so this is just pure speculation but we do know uh Mark andreon told us that the intelligence community in the United States has said directly to the people who would invest in new startups don't invest in too many AI startups because we're going to make sure that just a few big ones Dominate and we'll have you know connections into them basically so in other words we do know and it's just common sense it's just common sense if AI is going to be as powerful as everybody thinks then of course our intelligence people need to you know get control over it for their purposes now you might say no I don't want that and you might be right so I'm not saying what's right or wrong but certainly the same people who thought they needed to control all of the media if they thought they needed to control the news and they thought they needed to control social media do you think they're not trying to control uh AI of course they are of course they are but what's different from news and internet is that we're all we're all convinced that whoever has the best AI whatever country will you know dominate the economies of the future so our CIA and our intelligence people have first of all an interest because it's where people will go to get information so they want to control the information just like they do in every other domain including foreign countries by the way so that the effort is not just domestic so of course there is 100% chance that our intelligence people and and therefore effectively are military thinks that a us very robust strong AI situation is the best for the country so what would happen if the most vulnerable part of the entire industry which is the copyright situation what if that turned against the AI companies and in particular open AI which seems to be at least the most funded well that would give our intelligence Community a reason to murder whoever was going to ruin the entire AI industry with some whistleblowing because all it would take is one iory um over copyright violation and then the floodgates would open and then you would get other whistleblowers and you know maybe our entire industry might be crippled now this is a problem that China presumably won't have because they got the you know the dictator situation going on so what would happen if America crippled its own AI for completely legitimate reasons meaning that there were people who had legitimate legal complaints and our justice system worked the way it's supposed to took them seriously and maybe put an injunction on AI and said okay you can't develop this until we settle this case it's going to take three years to get it through the Supreme Court what would that do to American AI it would destroy it and then we would fall behind and China and anybody else would would take over and then that would put us at what we would think would be a gigantic domestic threat so putting it all together you're the CIA or you're the you know intelligence community of the United States and this whistleblower presents a really a an existential threat to the entire country now I'm not saying that's true I'm saying that you could easily imagine they would think it's true that he's an existential threat to the entire country because it could take down our biggest AI companies and stall them and then nothing happens and we lose the biggest weapon that's ever been developed so under these conditions and the suspiciousness of the case being called uh suicide I think it's exactly what it looks like I think it's exactly what it looks like it looks like it's an inside job and somebody on what should be our team probably just killed them and it might be exactly what it looks like because I'm trying to imagine the alternative I don't think there's an alternative where our intelligence Community would just let this run through the courts it would be an existential risk and a really obvious one and one they had have the ability to stop through you know the worst possible means means so I certainly have complete empathy for the family um and the fact that they I don't think they'll ever have closure on this but you could sort of see how the dots can act I don't know so I'm not saying that's true but I don't know how it could go any other way I just don't know how there could be any other way this would have gone I think under every situation the person who's this wh blower with this claim who had documents could prove it with documents I think that person dies every time and you know you can't be happy about that well how many of you watched at least some clips from a US hockey team playing a Canadian team I don't pay attention to hockey so is it some kind of playoff situation it's a playoff right and is that what it is so give me a fact check I don't know why the US team and the Canadian team were playing is it just a normal League Play they're in the same league is that a thing all right well anyway so for some reason it seemed like an important hockey game and uh I guess the American national anthem when it was sung the Canadians boo which seemed quite disrespectful to the American team so the American team just decided that they're going to start three fights in the first I nine seconds or something and uh of course everybody knows that hockey players fight a lot and it's a weird sport because the fighting is allowed up to a point the the refs actually stand back so instead of breaking up they stand back and they let the fight play out now they must have some some kind of internal rules where if the fighters go down like if one drags the other one down to the ice they break it up immediately but as long as they're both standing on their skates and uh they put their stick down I don't think they can fight by hitting each other with their hockey stick that probably would be out of bounds but if the only thing they're doing is punching each other while they're standing apparently the refs let that go as long as they want as long as the people want to keep punching each other and I'm sure if the other teammates tried to get into it the refs would would stop it so it's such a weird little not really even a sport rule that you can punch each other all day long as long as you do it within these you know you don't even need a reason if if the reason was the national anthem well good enough so but watching how how theatrical it happened and then watching what appeared to be nobody getting hurt whatsoever it it looked like they were throwing wild punches they started throwing punches when both of them had helmets on and they're they're like punching the helmets and then the helmets come off and then there's a whole bunch of more punching but you really couldn't see anybody connect it looked like they could just do these fake punching all day long because as long as they were sort of holding each other by the Jersey they they seem to be able to avoid the worst part of the punch and it reminded me of uh you remember when Jerry Springer was a huge phenomenon on TV and after a while there would be a fight every single episode so somebody who was on the panel up there on the stage with Jerry Springer would always every single show attack somebody who they didn't like who was also on stage and and it would look Wild and the punches would be thrown and the slapping and the hair pulling but eventually they'd be pulled apart and I started thinking wow you know the first few times I saw it I thought wow that's lucky nobody got hurt and then it would happen a thousand times in a row like every single week and never did anybody get hopiz I didn't even see a black eye so it was obvious to me at the time that the fights were staged um but let's call it semi staged meaning that they didn't necessarily say all right you can only be on TV if you get in a fight but we'll break it up don't hurt each other I don't think they did that but I think that once it was obvious that fighting was going to be allowed they may maybe they selected people who were a little bit more willing to do it you know maybe there was subtle encouragement I think there was but I remember talking to people who didn't understand that the the fighting was all aged and people would say oh no I I think they're just mad at each other and there's just a lot of fighting and I would say okay you believe that a thousand times in a row that somebody decided to take a swing as somebody on stage a thousand times in a row and a thousand times in a row without anybody ever getting seriously hurt really that that looks organic to you and and that's when I realized how dumb the world was cuz I was surrounded by adult people who voted who believe that was real just organically happening and I would try to convince them no no it's it's more like you know the old professional wrestling you know it's part of the show it's just entertainment no it's it's not organic and people would mock me and they would say of course it's organic what are you talking about and I thought oh my God we're in trouble if you can't tell that's fake so then I look at these fights in hockey these look like fake fights to me but again I don't think anybody ever said to the hockey players all right remember when you're fighting make it really fake I just think they know that if they hospitalize another player it's going to come back to them and so they try to make sure that you know maybe they graze a chin you know maybe somebody gets a a little little tweak in the ear but mostly just they're just punching the air and you know punching in the general direction of people with no sense that they're trying to hurt anybody but you know how impressed we get that Trump does things that other people say were impossible well here's what Trump did when it comes to hockey because obviously Trump's comments are the reason that Canada and the US are acting aggressive towards each other Trump actually made me like hockey I loved watching those fights even though they look so stage not staged but they didn't look serious I mean they weren't two people really trying to hurt each other so uh when I when I heard the playback of the booing and you hear somebody booing the national anthem it just just automatically gets your your juices going you're like what what there has to be some response to this they booed the national anthem of our country and then you see the Americans just throw down their gloves and just go trying to punch the out of the Canadian player just because they're a Canadian player and the Canadian players having none of it and punching back just as hard or harder and it was so male I just sort of likeed that I mean I really like I genuinely enjoyed watching every one of the fights every fake punch they threw cuz it fell right it just it just hit me exactly where I wanted to be hit so so to speak so I'm definitely going to be watching the next hockey game between Canada and the United States for the fights all right um so apparently uh Doge might be auditing Fort Knox to see if they have really gold there have you heard that rumor it's a conspiracy theory I guess that Fort Knox hasn't had any actual gold it's all been stolen or moved somewhere well Zero Hedge the publication zeroedge um brought it up on X and I think Elon Musk saw that comment and the next thing you know it looks like fort is going to get audited now what do you think do you think the gold is there Asam audited in 50 years do you think that in the United States gold can sit in a secure facility for 50 years and nobody stole it I don't know I don't know I think Alex Jones was reporting that there seems was it him somebody was saying that uh there seems to be some gold moving around the world and uh you know maybe a little hoarding and that China might be hoarding some gold and it makes me wonder if there is any preparation for you know paper money collapsing could it be that China and United States figure that if regular paper money goes to hell which seems like it's heading that direction that the only value will be gold and that we'll at least we'll have that and there'll be some way to go forward I don't know makes you wonder what's up but we'll find out if there's a audit um according to people matters uh the Doge layoffs went a little too far with some nuclear weapons experts and uh they were fired by mistake and then rehired so is it I don't know if they were weapons or just nuclear experts a little unclear on that but this is exactly the way the System supposed to work remember the whole point of Doge you know the the sort of the DNA of the operating principle is they're going to move fast they know they're going to break stuff and then when somebody points it out they're going to fix it so Move Fast Break Stuff Fast Fix stuff fast here it is they move fast they made some mistakes in the hiring people said whoa whoa whoa we can't replace these new nuclear experts you're going to have to keep them and then they're rehired now I I don't know if they successfully rehired them but the point is this is exactly what I want to see I want to see they go too far that but they go fast they make mistakes they fix it move on perfect that's perfect system with it it incorporates the fact that there will be mistakes and then then it just deals with them all right um I guess JD Vance gave a provocative speech at that European security conference whatever it was called and uh went at the Europeans for saying you know why do you expect our help in America when you're opposing our most basic core values of free speech by trying to censor Americans I love that frame why are we helping you if you're trying to stop the very thing that makes America America free speech so so you know you could do it to yourselves we don't recommend it but don't do it to us if if you're trying to censor us and you're asking for us to defend you no and and I think that has to be a hard no I literally think if if Europe is censoring the United States we should give them no defense whatsoever none uh 100 100% on board with letting Europe fall to whoever wants to take him over because if they can't give us that one thing the one thing that they should just keep the out of our business with with what we say in America absolutely not and and I'm not I'm not joking about that I say zero defense for Europe as long as they're trying to censor Us in the United States zero no there's no neg NE oating on that you need to get that stuff taken care of because no hard no we're not going to do a thing for you yeah we we could watch Russia just roll up Europe I'd be fine with it if that's the alternative if that's the alternative I'm fine with it because you know what Putin doesn't do Putin doesn't try to censor us does he has Putin ever tried to censor the United States I don't believe so but if we get censored by Europe and they do have a way to do that because they can get our multinational corporations in trouble uh so not cool that you're just dead to me that's what I feel um so good job JD Vance see you got really good good grades for not just presenting America well but doing it extra well and and saying what needed to be said Palmer lucky is on Sean Ryan's podcast and he had some interesting things to say about manufacturing he said that Trump understands that if we don't manufacture in America we're just everyone else's so he talked about how China could just turn off the economy of the United States anytime it wants because we can't manufacture over here and if we can't get the Chinese Goods we're basically dead so it does it is a enormous strategic risk to have your manufacturing outsourced and uh looks like it's coming back I think we'll figure out how to get some of it back but yeah I would agree with uh Palmer lucky that if you can't manufacture in America you don't really have a future I think that's fair to say you don't have a future if you can't manufacture locally uh if you're not following the account count by Zion lights which is a person's first and last name first name Zion last name lights just like it sounds like the lights you turn on um she is uh one of our best uh journalists SL experts on nuclear energy and and follows us plus Europe and it's really sad to see that Germany phased out their nuclear now they had reasons of course you know they have people afraid of it and blah blah blah but apparently they didn't accomplish their their goals for you know CO2 which they could have been a lot closer to if they kept their nuclear and they're in a world to hurt it and Great Britain is getting the Great Britain is currently pro-nuclear at the government level but the society is resisting it so there's a big push back in Great Britain and here's what I think I think again this could be one of America's advantages over everybody except perhaps China because China's just going gung-ho with every form of energy they can get because they have unlimited need for energy so they're doing everything right Just Energy first boom boom boom um and I think the United States is maybe finally at a place where we can just say let's do what makes sense and we we weren't there for decades for decades we were like no nuclear power will kill us all and we don't know what to do with the waste and all those problems were solved those are all solved problems the safety the waste it's all solved the the waste you basically just keep on site that's a total solution so I think that the fact that Democrats at least in leadership Democrats and also leader Republicans and also the president are unambiguously pro-nuclear power pronuclear power is really really a good sign and you know all of Silicon Valley is pro- nuclear power because they need it for AI and everything else so if you've got all your Tech Geniuses your top Republicans and your top Democrats just fully on board with nuclear power we're in much better shape than the countries that are not like that so France is looking strong you know they they were early and smart on nuclear power so they've got a good nuclear power system going there but uh in America is probably 10 to 20 years from you know being able to seriously say we made a difference in nuclear but maybe maybe faster if we do the small modular stuff we'll see well meanwhile zinsky over in Ukraine is calling for the formation of a European Armed Force now the idea is that since Trump is saying well we can't do everything in America where we're doing too much you need to take care of yourself Europe that zalinsky says they're going to need a European Armed Force now uh it would not replace NATO it would augment it it would be you know to boost NATO's power but also have their own independent military I guess independent is the wrong word but a European military now does anybody care what zalinsky thinks Europe should do I don't even need to discuss whether this is a good idea or a bad idea it came from ziny I don't think anybody's listening to him anymore indeed um looks like Trump and Putin are planning to meet in Saudi we don't have a date yet but they're going to meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss and the war do you know who they're not bringing they're not bringing zinski to the conversation about ending the war in Ukraine do you know why they're not bringing zalinsky why would you he's not relevant because he's going to do whatever we tell him to do in the end but we're but they're also not bringing anybody from Europe so there'll be no European and no Ukrainian just Trump and Putin deciding what a what a piece would look like and I think the implication is that if Trump comes up with a deal Europe's just going to have to eat it so better hope it's a deal that Europe can live with because uh and I have to admit If This Were a normal situation you would want all the stakeholders to be involved you'd want everybody who had an interest to be you know weighing in but I go back to Jamie Diamond when Jamie Diamond was doing his rant that got recorded he was being mad at his own employees and his own company for you know not stepping up basically one of the things he talked about was somebody who couldn't get something done without 14 different departments approving it and he was just saying you can't do that you can't run a great company where if you want to do something 14 different departments have to approve it and he said something like give me the names of those 14 department heads and I'll fire them today because they shouldn't be doing that they're they're not on the right side if there are 14 of them this is a similar situation and it's one of the things I like most about Trump is the business experience do you think Trump doesn't know that if he brings even one extra person in it up the whole thing of course he knows that what would happen if you brought two extra people to your negotiation if it up twice as badly what if you brought three different countries that all have an interest then it's triple so Trump is doing the only thing that can work Jamie Diamond is telling you the only thing that can work is you can't bring in 14 people you just can't do it there's no way to get from here to there through 14 different interests you've got to find something that works for two key players arguably the two important ones and then if you're going to get it done you got to shove it down the throats of the other people even if it's not their perfect solution there's no other way to do it so if you think he's you know being a dictator and blah blah blah well no more than Jamie Diamond somebody's got to be in charge and somebody's got to say this process can work this Pro this other process where you got 14 people deci what works that can never work that can never work so if you want something to work yeah two people at a summit is I i' do it that's exactly how I would do it and I would definitely leave zinsky home no doubt about that so anyway but also Saudi Arabia is hosting that Arab Summit as I said so I like the fact that Saudi is acting like a real Ally have you noticed that it it's it feels like not all of our allies act like allies but there might be some exceptions you know there could easily be some exceptions I don't know about but I do appreciate I do appreciate that Saudi seems somewhat consistently trying to make sure that America and Saudi Arabia have a strong ongoing connection and they're not sabotaging us while secretly trying to help us or vice versa so I know I'm I know I'm speaking too soon and maybe they're doing things we don't like as well but I kind of like the way it looks the way it feels so good job Saudi Arabia so far and uh then according to San Francisco University of California San Francisco um did you know that there's an alarming rise in advanced prostate cancer in California so California more than other states but also um the other states stopped reducing the cancer deaths and they've plateaued so the idea is that specific cancer prostate cancer has gotten worse in California now NPCs would you like to blame the the vaccination for that NPCs remember swimming is the best form of exercise uh French Press is the best for coffee and that green stuff is soil and green now this started before the pandemic so before the pandemic listen to me before the pandemic this trend started it seems related to uh they say it's it's related to less screening so the less screening they say is leading to worse outcomes I'm not entirely sure that makes a difference because I've seen studies that say that Great Britain doesn't doesn't do as much um screening as we do for this specific cancer and their life expectancies are much different so there's a little conflicting data some data says that this screening doesn't make a difference but California's seeming to indicate it did I don't know I don't trust any news I don't trust any data remember all data is the fox counting the chickens and you can never trust the fox to count the chickens but the only thing I wanted to point out is this is a case where it definitely happened before the pandemic and before the vaccinations so there might be some several unrelated reasons that uh you know the cancer rates are up that don't have to do with vaccinations and don't have to do with covid but also there could be some of that so I'm not ruling out that any of that's you know I'm not I'm not saying that the vaccinations do or do not cause a problem like that but there do see do seem to be some other reasons so just so you heard that well if you didn't know it um I posted on locals yesterday and then I reposted on X um a lesson on uh risk management now before you before you tell me what I'm going to tell you just wait for me to say it first okay nobody cares about who got a vaccination during the pandemic it's old news old story but it's a really good lesson in risk management and uh I would argue that if you if you weren't good at risk management you often said something like and and people said this to me and comment to my my lesson they said said uh Scott the only thing I needed to know is that the government said it was a good idea and it was called experimental so therefore that's all I needed to know and so I thought to myself are there any examples where the government wanted you to do something that was good for you because if everything the government recommends is bad for you that's a pretty good reason if every time the government said you should do this was always wrong just always then I guess you wouldn't need to know anything else you just say oh who's who's saying oh the government's saying it are the government okay well I'm not not going to do that but then I thought to myself how many things are there that the government says you should do that are good ideas are there any I see you saying seat belts and smallpox um well doesn't the government say you probably shouldn't have asbestos in your house they say that right are they wrong should you put some asbest in your house um how about the food pyramid the food pyramid used to be all wrong and maybe it's a little wrong now but would you do the opposite of the food pyramid would you eat a bunch of processed foods and Sugar Foods as much as you wanted because the government says you shouldn't so I guess you have to ask yourself what is the say the the people who haven't seen my video they still think they know how to do risk management so I tried to try to um deal with those of you who really don't understand the any risk management whatsoever those of you who just said the government said it's good for me therefore it's bad or related to that fizer said it's good for me therefore it's bad or we use the word experimental they said it's experimental and therefore why would I take an experiment those are not reasons if if you thought that that was good risk management that you're just looking at who said it that doesn't really work how many of you don't know that that's not really any kind of standard that's part of reason that's that's like reading you know uh chicken entrails and trying to predict the future that's like a horoscope it's like flipping a coin that it's not part of the reasoned the reasoning or the it's not part of reason it's just irrational but sometimes irrational reasons can get you to the right answer if it's a coin flip if there are only two possibilities it's good for you or it's not then any method you use is likely to have a 50% chance of working all right I'm going to pray to the sun Gods well you had a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer no matter how ridiculous your reasoning was to get there so here's what's happened I've just got tired of stupid people so the stupid people who are giving me stupid reasons for why they did or did not get the shot you just have to be you have to understand that you're stupid and just leave me alone so if you don't want to listen to my risk analysis just leave me alone because you're not part of any helpful anything you you like to brag that you got one lucky thing right I'm not going to put up with it anymore so it's also good to find out who to block so I I blocked all the people who said oh I just listened to the government and uh did the opposite all right um every once in a while the government gets one right but no now and the same people are now going to say oh Scott says you should do whatever the government says because their their reasoning is so bad that they have to distort what I say to disagree with it if you actually agreed with what or or if you had a reason you'd give a reason but usually oh he's he's so dumb he just believes whatever he's told the opposite of the risk management lesson I give you all right yes my my critics are experiencing severe cognitive dissonance now you you can decide if I'm the one you can just listen to the video and you would very quickly detect if I had cognitive dissonance because I make a bunch of claims and you can just look at them all it either fits together or it doesn't and if you don't think it fits together somebody says my risk management was better than yours well not your reasoning yeah not your reasoning just trying to help all right so again nobody cares about the pandemic it's old news but it might help you you understand how risk management works um for those of you who want to stick around on locals I'm going to say hi to you the rest of you have a great Sunday I'll see you tomorrow same time same place but local supporters only I will be private with you in 30 seconds e e e e

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams because

it is and 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

cup or muger a glass of tanker Chalin

the canteen Drago flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee

and join me now for the unparallel

pleasure the dopamine here the day the

thing that makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous SI and it

happens now

go well I don't know about you but what

I really needed this weekend was a

little less

news and thank goodness we got a little

bit less news uh Trump's been kind of

quiet I mean he caused a little bit of

trouble but Elon Musk says he's taken

the at least a day or two off because

he's getting ready to launch the newest

uh AI Gro so things got strangely quiet

but yet there's plenty to talk about did

you know that TMZ is reporting that

Kanye West I call him yay uh and his

wife Bianca uh they don't have a prenup

agreement they don't have a prenuptual

agreement

so good job

yay at what point did he think this

one's

forever so so that's y's

situation uh and then if you were

anywhere near social media yesterday on

X you'd know that uh allegedly I'm not

even sure this is confirmed yet but

allegedly Ashley stclair who's a

conservative leaning uh she's being

called an influencer but that feels a

little feels a little dismissive because

I think she's more of a writer and has a

bigger impact so I would call her a

writer and uh she's uh claiming that she

had a real

life um Affair I guess with musk and has

had her had his baby 5 months

ago so and then allegedly there's

there's some agreement about the raising

of the baby that hasn't been uh

finalized so yay didn't finalize his

paperwork that looks like a problem and

doesn't look like Elon finalized his

paperwork and feels like a problem uh so

this is my

advice don't get involved with anybody

unless you've got a lawyer with you

you should bring the lawyer on the first

date maybe the second date too it's like

uh hi you know my name's Bob and this is

my attorney he'll be negotiating the

paperwork in case this comes to anything

uh will you or will you not be using

birth control and uh we'd like a clause

in there that would uh you know protect

our client so that's what it looks like

in the

future um I'll tell you one of the

things that came out of

the whatever is going on between Ashley

and Elon which is really none of our

business but it became

public uh was there ever a point you

said to yourself man I'm so jealous of

Elon he he doesn't have to have a

wife and he doesn't need to have like a

girlfriend who's giving him trouble he

can just create all these baby mamas as

long as he can afford it it's going to

be great and now I'm thinking how in the

world can you survive with that many

baby mamas who who all just have just

one thing they want to ask you today you

know you know what would be good is if I

had a little bit extra money this

month do do you think it ever

stops you know I wonder if he ever like

he ever stops getting messages you know

you know one of the kids is a little

older wouldn't be bad if you know we had

an extra million uh I don't know how

it's going but I hope he is choosing his

baby mam

well um I think some of them are working

out pretty well

actually well nval rant was a guest on

Allin pod and I loved one thing he said

because it it just calms everybody down

so I'm going to repeat it there's no

indication uh this is me paraphrasing so

not his words but there's no indication

that AI is going to reduce the number of

jobs there's a lot of indication it will

be a tremendous Aid to people in jobs

there's a lot of indication that some

jobs you know entire slices of

Industries will change but that is a

normal thing there are entire industries

that used to exist when I was a kid that

don't exist now so Industries coming and

going pretty normal but as uh nval puts

it it's not so much that AI will cause

you to get another job because as he

points out job sort of indicates you

have a boss and you had to apply for it

but it could be the AI will create what

Nal calls

opportunities so you can say to yourself

hey I don't know much about this or that

but if I use AI I'll be as smart as

anybody who does this or that so I'll

become a person who provides whatever

service or goods and I'll use AI to

figure out how to do it and it leave

even do most of the work but it wouldn't

do it on its

own and you're probably always going to

need a human to sign papers and work out

weird little problems and negotiate

things as you go so this is very much

what I've been speculating for a while

that uh we can't predict AI but it

didn't look like it was going to take

jobs so I I've sort of been on this uh

on this path for a while but it's good

to see nval say it because you know he's

smarter so it's good when smart people

agree with you all right here's here's

something that probably is a nothing but

might be a really big thing now before I

tell you I would like to say what the

NPCs will say you know I do this as a

service so they don't have to do it when

I'm done I want you to yell that's soil

and

green I don't want to live in a tiny

house swimming is the best form of

exercise and you can't make me eat that

and I won't eat

bugs all right does that cover

everything that's that's everything the

obvious people say okay now now that

that's covered you don't need to say

those things do you get it it's so you

don't need to say them you could yeah

and French Press is the best way to make

coffee thank you thank you for adding

that that that needed to be said well

the story is that according to Ben

coxworth really that's his last name

coxworth wow must have been tough in

high

school

coxworth come on all

right okay um anyway so there's this uh

kind of a weed that I guess grows in

ponds it's not even a weed it's called

duckweed it's more like a

green slime that grows on stuff but

apparently there's a version of it

that's really

nutritious and let's say they call it

water lentils so I think it's you know

it's not a slime so much as it might be

little chunks but it's sort of green and

chunky and it can grow in a pond and uh

apparently it's it's a superfood it's

got 35% carbs 20% minerals and up to 40%

protein

now that would be tremendous amount of

protein now you've probably heard me say

way too many times wouldn't it be good

to have a your own indoor Farm but how

in the world could you grow protein in

an indoor Farm I know you can grow

lettuce and you know so stuff like that

that nobody wants to eat too much I mean

how much lettuce do you want to eat so I

was always saying indoor Farms aren't

going to work until you can make

protein this is apparent ly something

you can do in an indoor

facility and it's got protein like crazy

and you could add it to just about

anything

so so uh maybe maybe I'm not sure that

this would work at small scale because

the indoor facility that they show

pictured is a big industrial scale but I

don't know it's so so here are the

advantage it grows really fast it

doesn't need

fertilizer it's got tons of

nutrients and doesn't yeah doesn't need

pesticides doesn't need

fertilizer and it doesn't compete with

other crops for

Farmland it can be sustainably

cultivated in Shallow trays of clean

water and green houses or vertical

Farms so is this what I've been waiting

for I don't know what it tastes like I

suppose you can flavor it any way you

want but if this seems like a you know

small and boring little

topic I I think we're going to have to

get to the point where people are

growing their own food you know maybe in

small co-ops because all the problems

with food are the

middleman the chemicals they put in it

that you don't want them to put in it

the

transportation and the

storage those are all the problems well

you can get rid of all those problems by

growing the your own food in your

neighborhood if you could grow something

with protein so maybe this is

it well there's a new hoax have you

heard that the Pete heg Seth drinks

whiskey in public while doing a

presentation hoax so this hoax says that

when uh P Heth was giving a giving a

talk at uh whatever this was at the uh

big security event in Europe that uh

that he reached where they always keep a

glass of water you know usually if

you're a speaker they make sure you've

got a water you can drink and and the

the thinking was that it was

whiskey now here's one of the things

that the Democrat hoaxes have in

common they're so

ridiculous they're so ridiculous do you

really think that P Heth who's been

accused of you know drinking too much

and is before he was uh nominated do you

do you think that he stood in front of a

huge crowd in a televised event and then

picked up a a a glass with a clearly you

know Brown looking liquid that wouldn't

be water and then drank it in front of

the group does anybody think that could

really happen in the real world it's

just like the fine people hoax and the

drinking bleach hoax you don't have to

know anything to know it didn't happen

that obviously didn't happen and it was

just something about the way the light

hit the water so so no there's no truth

to the thought that he was drinking

bourbon or something on stage so dumb

meanwhile uh aoc's uh calling for the

governor of New York to remove mayor

Adams who of course is a Democrat but

the Democrats are mad at that Democrat

because he's not so keen on immigration

and he uh seems to be friendly with

Trump and they think he worked on a deal

with Trump although he says there was no

deal but uh the Trump Administration

does seem to be trying to force the

dropping of the charges against him the

people who understand this you know this

field better than I do um say it's

completely inappropriate to drop the

charges against them there's you know

there's no there's no legal reason to

drop the

charges I'm not sure there's no reason

if it looks like lawfare meaning that

it's something that wouldn't normally be

charged because it's such small ball I

feel like that's all the reason you

should need do you need more reason than

it's law

fair I I feel like that's good enough

even even if there's a technical

violation like he took some you know

upgrades on a flight or something I

don't

care I don't care at all I don't care if

the next mayor does that either not

really you know if you were taking big

cash payments well then we've got

different conversation but but a

celebrity or a public figure who's

traveling and gets upgraded it's just

the most normal thing in the world so

anyway feels like law fair to me but

here's my point on this it looks like

Trump found a new way to get rid of

Democrats because Democrats

automatically disagree with whatever

Trump says is right so all Trump has to

do is start agreeing with a Democrat

about anything and the other Democrats

will want to get rid of that person

right away so AOC is trying to get rid

of Mayor

Adams because he's too friendly with

Trump that's that seems to be and then

they think there's some secret deal

which is not not an

Evidence um but uh here's what I think

uh I think Trump should endorse Adam

Schiff just to test it out and say uh

yeah Adam Schiff uh we've had some bad

interaction in the past but I got to say

he's the very best Democrat there is I

can't wait to work with him he's the guy

that can really help us with magga and

next thing you know they'd be asking for

him to be impeached because they they

just have to be whatever is the opposite

of trump so he can take out any Democrat

he wants just by saying you know I like

that one you know that Federman

guy he he's looking real good next thing

you know Federman removed from office

while the Washington DC real estate

market is collapsing everybody's trying

to sell their house because they're all

getting fired or they're afraid to

getting fired or they Democrats on the

way out but as uh the account called

cynical publicus points out and others

have pointed out um among the top seven

wealthiest counties in America four of

them are around Washington DC so 4 and

of seven of the wealthiest counties are

right around Washington

DC and Washington DC doesn't make any

kind of

product

so how are all these people making so

much money it's because they're around

the

money if you put them around the money

they'll start forming Nos and and scams

and griffs and everybody's got a pack or

a you know some damn thing that needs to

get funded and apparently there's almost

no fiscal responsibility in Washington

that's what do just taught us and if you

have no fiscal responsibility gigantic

amounts of money and no product being

made except people persuading and

grifting uh that's what you get if you

wait long enough you've got one of the

richest counties or four and a seven the

richest counties and you haven't done a

damn thing that the country wants you've

just taken the money that's what it

looks like so we'll see if we'll see if

that era is coming to an end that might

be a little

optimistic and what about David hog

who's now one of the co-chairs of the

democratic

party how many of you thought to

yourself it seems to me that all the

Democrat leaders are actually just

Crooks like demonstrably obviously

Crooks you know you've heard about the

Clinton

Foundation you've heard about Hillary

Clinton running the Russia collusion

hoax you've heard about them doing the

51 laptop thing you've heard about

Ukraine you've heard about us Aid you've

heard about you know all the

NOS it feels like and and of course in

my opinion nearly every mayor of every

city is

corrupt um you know there might be some

exceptions but I feel

like you almost have to be corrupt to be

mayor in in this this

country um so

what happens when David hog comes out of

nowhere and next thing you know he's a

one of the heads of the DNC

well according to PJ media Matt Margolis

and some other people talking about this

um as soon as he got into that position

he used the the mailing list that

belongs to the DNC to raise money for

his own political action

committee and his own political action

committee

pays his uh $100,000 a

year so he gets he gets put as one of

the heads of the DNC the Democrat

National Committee and then almost right

away uses their internal source to raise

money for himself literally for himself

now it's for his pack which pays him

so you know feels like it's for himself

um

so that's exactly what we expected now I

I'm genuinely curious genuinely

curious do all criminals become

Democrats because they know they can get

away with more or does becoming a

Democrat turn you into a

criminal because obviously I'm aware

that there Republicans were grifters and

corrupt Etc obviously but we don't

really hear about it much do we it it

feels like it's an exception or it's you

know something happened with some

underling somewhere but it feels like

every single Democrat is is corrupt like

all the leaders and somewhat obviously

to to me it looks like well this is

obvious I won't name names but there's

some people just the way they act they

couldn't possibly be acting

independently it's it's so obvious

they're getting a paycheck of some kind

you you know directly or indirectly that

no just nobody would act like that that

nobody would act that dumb in public

intentionally anyway speaking back in Du

public I was watching uh Adam

Schiff um who's got kind of a

theatrical um let's say interest I guess

you wanted to be a script writer at one

point and he was getting so theatrical

when he was questioning somebody in one

of these hearings that it was actually

impressive iive he wasn't really even

trying to you know make an argument on

points cuz he was totally losing on

whatever the argument was he was getting

killed so he just kept ratcheting up the

emotion and then you're saying and then

you're saying that you would give money

under these conditions uh no I'm not

saying so you're saying it well no it's

the opposite I'm not oh so you're saying

You' give money so under these

conditions you would throw the

Constitution under the bus is that right

uh no nothing like that so all right

we've agreed you would throw the

Constitution under the boss and and the

amount of emotion that was obviously

theatrical and

fake was kind of impressive so it made

me think he's a terrible politician but

I bet he actually would be good in

theater like

legitimately legitimately he looks like

he has the chops so he could be

professional actor

anyway so he's got a future there uh

speaking of grift here's what David

Sachs says about Ukraine he says uh with

Americans becoming exhausted with

forever wars in the Middle East the

quote democracy promotion grifters at

usaid and Ned and the rest of the NOS

needed a new cause Ukraine was perfect

as the most corrupt country in Europe it

would allow them to expropriate

billions now is that just the Republican

narrative because it's the one I see and

it looks obvious to me do you think

Democrats understand that Ukraine was

part grift and part neocon wanting to

destroy

Russia or do do Democrats think that we

were protecting this spunky little

country because it should be part of

NATO like what what do Democrats really

think Ukraine was all about do they

really not have any access to the

narratives that are coming out from the

Republicans it it feels like they just

think well let's just give them infinite

more money that should solve everything

because Putin's a bad bad man I'm not

saying Putin's a good man I'm just

saying

probably this was a com combination of

people who looked for enormous grift

opportunities and found them and people

who wanted to destroy Russia and it was

a opportunistic way to do it so no it

looks like a giant scam to

us meanwhile um mar Mario nul is

reporting that uh Tucker Carlson had a

conversation with the prime minister of

Hungary Victor Orban now if you're not

following closely Romania is one of

those countries that is uh sort of close

to a trump-like view of the world you

know a

conservative uh not buying into the mass

immigration kind of thing and so what

would be the fate of Hungary that just

wants to be a independent little country

and supportive of the United States

would be a supportive country one would

be a you know happy to be you know

working with us well uh because it's not

exactly what the the Democrats want or

the liberal Elite as you might say so

this is what Victor Orbin says is

happening he goes the fact is that the

liberal Elite of the West used the

taxpayer money of the United States

citizens to spread their ideology around

the world and finance more than 60 NOS

paid politicians and media outlets in

Hungary it was a plot against our

sovereignty and

dependence uh this is exactly how we

overthrow other

countries we fund a whole bunch of stuff

non-government

organizations but really its ways to

influence things like the media and

politicians it's a way to get a whole

bunch of money and assets and and

intelligence people into somebody's

country and Victor Orban is completely

aware of it he knows the whole plot he

probably can name all 60 Nos and he

probably knows exactly which media

Outlets are being bought by the United

States it's probably exactly what it

looks like that the United States is

actively trying to

overthrow not an

enemy this is the scary part

uh Hungary is not an

enemy so why are we trying to overthrow

their

government they're pretty much on our

side and uh so that's uh probably

exactly what it looks

like all right as you know it's getting

confusing with all the Crooked Democrat

judges trying to stop Doge and Trump and

the executive orders now there too many

to keep track of but what you need to

know is that the the general setup is

that Trump is using his executive

Authority uh largely to fire people

downsize and uh you know move budgets

around and stuff like that cut budgets

move them around and the Democrats are

finding one reason after another to you

know oppose it all and they're using

different judges and all the

judges or most of them maybe it's just

most they seem to have an obvious

conflict of interest you know they've

got a relative who's a you know a

longtime demograph fundraiser or

yeah ba basically they all have some

kind of dirty connections that make them

corrupt looking now I don't know if

they're corrupt but they they definitely

have all the Tells for being corrupt and

they seem to be acting in a way that

almost certainly guarantees that the

larger question of who gets to run the

executive branch is it the president or

does every little pissant judge anywhere

in the federal system get to stop

anything that happens if they don't like

that President because at the

moment the courts or at least these

allegedly crooked judges are seemingly

running the executive branch by saying

you can do this you can't do this you

can only do it then and there's some

thought

um that uh maybe this is actually going

to be good for Trump and the thought

goes like this that what the what Trump

really needs to do is get um get some or

all of these to the Supreme Court and

then let the Supreme Court decide the

most critical issue who gets to decide

what happens in the executive branch is

it the president especially when it

comes to budget and Staffing is it the

president or is it all these little pan

courts all over the country now I feel

like

I feel like Trump would probably win

that if they got to some generalized

principle about who's in charge and who

can stop you and at the moment the only

Power

left that the Democrats have since they

lost basically everything is these

lifetime appointed I think they're

lifetime these appointed judges that are

clearly just Democrat corrupt operatives

so that's the the last power they have

so if this stuff gets to the Supreme

Court and it becomes a generalized

question who gets to decide what's

happening in the executive branch I feel

like the Supreme Court's going to lean

toward Trump you know for all the

obvious

reasons so it could be that the last the

last remaining tool that's you know part

of the government anyway or you know I

guess part of the judicial um the last

remaining tool

besides the Soros prosecutors could be

removed from the system and not removed

but at least ignored and uh maybe maybe

cast aside so that could be a really big

deal that might actually be part of the

Trump strategy is to push every button

until this gets to the Supreme Court and

then give some clarity and if the

clarity goes Trump's way then he can

really get busy so what we've seen so

far maybe just a preview because the

courts are legitimately slowing him down

what if that stopped what if the courts

stopped slowing him down I mean who

knows um anyway that's going to get

interesting so on CNN recently uh Cano

the great points out that there was a

Democrat strategist they just had him on

and he was describing why Trump is

popular today he and he says that he

joined the Democratic party in 1989

because he wanted to fight NAFTA he

wanted to drain the swamp and he wanted

to make sure his tax dollars weren't

being wasted or going to Foreign

Wars so he's saying that basically in

the

90s uh a Democrat sounds like Donald

Trump

today so he he says that's why we led

him is we've let him steal or

verbage now there it is

again they think it's the way he says it

it's not the way he says it it's what he

says people prefer his policies you can

look at any poll and then what's the

most important stuff and then look at

what people think Trump can do is not

his verbiage you know he it's not his

choice of words it's so ridiculous but

he does point out that even you know a

lot of the ordinary Democrats would look

at Trump and say yeah that's exactly

what I wanted all that stuff it's what I

wanted you know give or take you know

abortion of course but abortion is now

more of a state

issue actually it's entirely a state

issue so he say that's why we keep

losing to him um we've quit talking

about Americans keeping America safe and

blah blah blah blah blah and then and

then he sums it up by saying

that Trump is

scary now here's the funny part the

anti-trumpers they can't resist

complimenting him because he keeps doing

good stuff like they can't really be

against him trying to save

money you can't really be against that

or getting rid of fraud it's hard to be

against it you know fixing the Border in

days it's hard to hate that stopping

Wars looks like he's already going to

stop the war in Ukraine one way or

another H it's hard to hate that too

much so even when the Democrats talk

about Trump they've got to give him some

props because it's stuff that they want

to but then he ends with he's

scary okay how did that fit with all

these stuff you said about he's a '90s

Democrat if Trump is like a '90s

Democrat not 100% of course cuz you know

abortion and some few some things are

different but why is he

scary he's scary just

because he does exactly what you would

do they they just can't avoid throwing

in an empty generic insult it's just

reflex I don't think as there's any

thought involved he his entire good

point he was making about Trump being

right in the middle of where America

wants the president to be that was a

solid point and then he ruins the whole

thing by saying and he's scary well did

you give me any evidence of the scary

part the scary part is he gives you

exactly what the middle of America wants

and most people agree oh that's

scary but on the plus

side uh I do give CNN credit because

they put you know Scott Jennings on the

air every day seems like or five days a

week and they allowed this you know this

uh strategist to say some things about

Trump getting right and they do have

other people who sometimes say Trump

gets some stuff

right so the news of course is biased

there there are news that's biased on

the right there's news is biased on the

left like but if you look at Fox News

let's just take the five they make sure

that they've got somebody there who will

say the other side so there's at least

always one person there who argue the

other point um and then CNN is making

sure they have somebody there arguing

the other point but you know who doesn't

do that

MSNBC so here's the mistake if you think

MSNBC is like the others it's not even

close MSNBC you could do an entire

College course on propaganda and all

you'd have to do is turn it on for half

an hour and then talk about it that that

could be the entire class all right

let's see what they said today because

MSNBC will never tell you that there's

even an argument on the other side they

won't even mention it unless it's such a

bad argument and it's misinterpreted you

know it's usually misinterpreted if they

talk about the other side so just watch

that watch

how you know that some Outlets are

biased but I don't mind the bias when

it's explicit right so if I turn on um

Fox News of course they're Pro Trump of

course they are but they don't hide it

and and they try to cover all the news

you know so you you get a little bit of

both sides and CNN same thing but

MSNBC nope it's pure propaganda and once

you learn that then you can see all the

technique I I was thinking about doing

that live sometime just turning on MSNBC

and just saying click okay pause all

right that was propaganda here's what

they did all right play okay pause

because I think every 10

seconds like literally every 10 seconds

you could pause it and say all right

here's what they just did and just show

the

trick I'm going to do that one of these

days anyway

um one of the tricks that MSNBC did this

was spotted by Paul Bond

this was good spotting remember when

Elon Musk had a little ex his a kid and

he was in the Oval Office and the Press

was asking them questions and you

thought to yourself man this is great

because it's both Trump and musk the two

people that you'd want to ask questions

to they're completely open to questions

they're making the time they're

answering as transparently as as you'd

want and wow this is good a lot of

questions getting answered MSNBC played

it without the sound so that they could

talk over it so all You' see is

something that didn't look right CU if

you just saw the video and you didn't

know that they were doing a real good

job of answering all of our questions it

would look like wait a minute there's

somebody that mus guy he doesn't

appreciate the decorum and respect of

the Oval Office he's not wearing a

necktie and he's brought his kid in

there and then you'd say to yourself ah

it looks like he's trying to be the

co-president because you know Trump's

sitting at a desk but musk is standing

up and getting all the attention and oh

this is our

co-president Pure

propaganda to to run the video and then

just talk over it pure propaganda did

CNN do that no did Fox do that no no

they could say things after

it but if you don't even play the video

you're just it's just pure propaganda

anyway um I saw a post by Paul uh

ziola and he was mocking yet another MSN

MSNBC employee who did a little video

about I don't know doesn't matter she

was mad about renaming the Gulf of

Mexico or something like that but she

had the gigantic crazy

eyes and and I I hope I'm the one who's

making this a

thing because as Paul pointed out um you

know she has crazy eyes and it was the

craziest eyes I've ever seen there's

just these gigantic

saucers at first I thought it was AI

because I didn't think okay nobody

really has gigantic eyes like that but

not only with the eyes gigantic I'm not

entirely sure but it looked like she had

her eyebrows removed from the normal

place and placed about halfway up her

forehead I've never seen eyebrows that

far away from eyes and gigantic guys too

and I really have a

question why why do these giant eyed

people the the Crazy Eyes why are they

all on one side what is causing that

crazy eye thing now what it looks like

yeah what it looks like is that when the

eyes go wide they know they're imagining

as opposed to talking about facts and

they know that they have to open their

eyes to sell what they're saying because

it's so

ridiculous yeah if I told you that there

was a UFO in my

backyard I'd open my eyes like this and

there's a UFO in my

backyard this isn't the case that I'm

imagining it it's not really there but

if there were really a UFO in your

backyard you probably wouldn't do that

with your eyes you say I you can't

believe it there's a there's a UFO in my

backyard yeah I can show it to you

here's my picture the truth does not

require those eyes those eyes do

accompany making stuff up so once you

see it you can't unsee it the the big

Adam Schiff eyes the AOC

eyes the Elizabeth Warren eyes you see

the

pattern Adam Schiff Elizabeth Warren

AOC they all have crazy

eyes you just watch them

talk anyway I guess Trump just fired uh

two dozen immigration

judges according to Politico that's a

good start the imig the immigration

judges are the ones who are granting

Asylum to people now why are we not just

dismantling the Asylum system wasn't

that the whole problem the the thing

that allowed the Democrats to lie to the

public forever is that theyd say oh we

don't have many illegals coming across

because they would just call them legal

all they do is have judges say okay

you're applying for Asylum all right

good now you're legal CU until we made a

decision that the Asylum sticks or it

doesn't they were legal because they'd

gone through our process to claim Asylum

so why is there no conversation about

just getting rid of

that because there can't be that many

people who legitimately need

Asylum you know there must must be some

way to handle it without just having

everybody who comes across the border

apply for it so I don't know seems like

that should be on the chopping

block um we just found out that the uh

so the California Department of Finance

revealed that the Califoria California

taxpayers are spending 9.5 billion to

provide Health Care to illegal

aliens that's just the

healthare that would be a third of our

deficit

spending just for the health care if you

added the other

expenses pretty much the entire economic

problem of California which is pretty

bad is from

immigration I I think it's going to be

2third of it and the rest is just poor

management so yeah we're a

mess

um it it's just I don't how history is

ever going to you know deal with this

the fact that California and other

places we opened our borders we invited

unlimited people to come in to take our

money who invites unlimited people into

to take your money well people who are

not giving away their own money it's

people who are giving away other

people's money you wouldn't invite

people to give in your own money yeah so

as long as you can make some money by

having other people give away their

money I guess it's going to happen so

that's pretty bad in other news

um and and part of the news is that this

is in the news so the news is that is

news uh instead of a secret apparently

there's a massive shipment of uh 2,000lb

bombs from the US to

Israel now why would Israel suddenly

need a massive Shi M of gigantic bombs

and these are ones that had been

prevented uh I guess Biden had not

allowed these so Trump is allowing

gigantic shipments of very large

bombs Times of Israel is reporting now

the reason I say the story is that it's

a story is is this the sort of thing we

would normally be aware of or is this

negotiating with Hamas hey Hamas you

know when we said that if you don't

release all of the um all of the

hostages uh that there would be held to

pay well they know what hell looks like

now I assume but I don't know that these

are specifically for crushing

tunnels cuz there's not much left you

wouldn't need these bombs for blowing up

buildings in Gaza cuz they're all

they're already blown up the only thing

left is all the tunnels

I mean I might be exaggerating a little

but basically it's the tunnels

so is this a done deal that these are

going to be used to clean out the

tunnels or is this part of the

negotiating because at the same time I

guess Saudi Arabia's got some Arab

countries getting together to figure out

what to do and they're trying to figure

out how to you know deal with Hamas but

also rebuild Gaza which doesn't look

very possible but the Trump effect is

interesting because he's making other

countries step up so Saudi is really

stepping up you they're hosting hosting

uh you know the people who make the most

difference over there to have some

serious conversations about how they can

they can be the the solution I don't

know what they're going to come up with

but it probably helps it probably helps

negotiating with Hamas to know that

Israel has already brought in the

weapons of their complete

destruction so I feel like you know

Hamas is never going to deal or

negotiate not in any serious way so I

feel like the next step will be massive

bombs taken out tunnels and then we'll

probably keep negotiating you know we'll

take in a few tunnels and they'll say

now do you want to quit and release the

hostages nope all right here's another

tunnel

boom will that result in the death of

some of the

hostages it could yeah it

could well so Trump causes some trouble

by posting I guess the other day he said

this quote from Napoleon he who saves

his country does not violate any law so

that's

Napoleon and then what do you think

people said about that now the context

apparently is that these executive

orders are for the benefit of the

country so there shouldn't be these

courts calling them illegal because if

he's saving the

country that can't be

illegal but of course it can be illegal

and it caused somebody like Adam Schiff

of course to say that it was spoken like

a true

dictator so why does he do this why

would Trump whose biggest problem is

that he's being accused of being like a

dictator is his biggest problem why

would he quote a dictator and and

embrace the dictator's philosophy in

public what would be the reason for

that now if it's the usual reason it's

just to distract the bad guys so they'll

talk about that instead of talking about

some way to you know actually defeat him

so it could be a

distraction it could be just for fun I

don't know I don't think I would have

done it but we'll see how that turns out

I wouldn't have advised

it

meanwhile uh chat gp4 is out and Sam

mman says uh does lots of great things

but it's also the best search engine

it's the best search engine out there

and so I said to myself

huh now that we know what US Aid

is that according to Mike Ben it's a

basically just a front for CIA activity

and that all of those things we think

are foreign aid are really just

mechanisms to build resources and you

know get our agents in and get influence

over another

country no matter what the charity is

called it's really only for that one

purpose now that's what I believe is

true but here's what uh you here's what

chat GPT for which Sam mman says is one

of the best or one of the best search

engines I guess he's I think he says the

best um I asked it is USA mostly a front

for the

CIA because if it's a good search engine

it's going to get right the right answer

which I already know because Mike Benz

has taught us this and here's what Chad

GPT said said while usaid itself is not

a CIA front there is a documented

history of its programs being exploited

for intelligence and COV operations and

this has led to

skepticism now it gave examples that

during sort of the Cold War there were

several examples where USA was in fact a

cover for some CIA

activity but Chad GPT is acting like

that stopped a long time ago oh yeah

there were there were a few notable

exceptions in the news but that was way

back oh

oh but the thing is we only find out

about these things 40 years after they

happen

so

um and then it said uh yeah so so that

was his answer nope it's not a front for

the

CIA meanwhile uh Elon Musk the reason

he's gone quiet today allegedly quiet

we'll see if he can last is that he's

working on the next release of grock 3

which he had claimed will be the most

powerful AI in the world so apparently

it's trained faster better more

completely than anything else and he's

going to be owning honing the product

all weekend so should be released

tomorrow at 88 p.m. Pacific time so

we'll get a whole new AI

you know that case of speaking of open

AI you know the case of the uh The

Whistleblower who was found dead and it

was very suspicious circumstance and it

was ruled a suicide but didn't have the

Tells of a suicide it looked very much

like he got murdered according to

evidence in the uh you know basically on

his body Etc and the family hired a

private pathologist that said that the

gunshot an IES and injuries are

inconsistent with

suicide and I guess the police ignored

that and they just closed the

investigation saying there is

insufficient evidence of

homicide

uh okay let's uh connect some

dots now I don't know what's going on so

this is just pure

speculation but we do know

uh Mark andreon told us that the

intelligence community in the United

States has said directly to the people

who would invest in new startups don't

invest in too many AI startups because

we're going to make sure that just a few

big ones

Dominate and we'll have you know

connections into them basically so in

other words we do know and it's just

common sense it's just common sense if

AI is going to be as powerful as

everybody thinks

then of course our intelligence people

need to you know get control over it for

their purposes now you might say no I

don't want that and you might be right

so I'm not saying what's right or wrong

but certainly the same people who

thought they needed to control all of

the

media if they thought they needed to

control the news and they thought they

needed to control social media do you

think they're not trying to

control uh AI of course they are of

course they are but what's different

from news and internet is that we're all

we're all convinced that whoever has the

best AI whatever country will you know

dominate the economies of the

future so our CIA and our intelligence

people have first of all an interest

because it's where people will go to get

information so they want to control the

information just like they do in every

other

domain including foreign countries by

the way so that the effort is not just

domestic so of course there is 100%

chance that our intelligence people and

and therefore effectively are military

thinks that a us very robust strong AI

situation is the best for the

country so what would

happen if the most vulnerable part of

the entire industry which is the

copyright situation what if that turned

against the AI companies and in

particular open AI which seems to be at

least the most

funded

well that would give our intelligence

Community a reason to

murder whoever was going to ruin the

entire AI industry with some

whistleblowing because all it would take

is one

iory um over copyright violation and

then the floodgates would open and then

you would get other whistleblowers and

you know maybe our entire industry might

be

crippled now this is a problem that

China presumably won't have because they

got the you know the dictator situation

going on so what would happen if America

crippled its own AI for completely

legitimate reasons meaning that there

were people who had legitimate legal

complaints and our justice system worked

the way it's supposed to took them

seriously and maybe put an injunction on

AI and said okay you can't develop this

until we settle this case it's going to

take three years to get it through the

Supreme

Court what would that do to American AI

it would destroy it and then we would

fall behind and China and anybody else

would would take over and then that

would put us at what we would think

would be a

gigantic domestic threat

so putting it all together you're the

CIA or you're the you know intelligence

community of the United States and this

whistleblower presents

a really a an existential threat to the

entire country now I'm not saying that's

true I'm saying that you could easily

imagine they would think it's true that

he's an existential threat to the entire

country because it could take down our

biggest AI companies and stall them and

then nothing happens and we lose the

biggest weapon that's ever been

developed so under these conditions and

the suspiciousness of the case being

called uh

suicide I think it's exactly what it

looks

like I think it's exactly what it looks

like it looks like it's an inside job

and somebody

on what should be our team probably just

killed them and it might be exactly what

it looks

like because I'm trying to imagine the

alternative I don't think there's an

alternative where our intelligence

Community would just let this run

through the courts it would be an

existential risk and a really obvious

one and one they had have the ability to

stop through you know the worst possible

means

means so I certainly have complete

empathy for the

family um and the fact that they I don't

think they'll ever have closure on this

but you could sort of see how the dots

can act I don't know so I'm not saying

that's

true but I don't know how it could go

any other

way I just don't know how there could be

any other way this would have gone I

think under every situation the person

who's this wh blower with this claim who

had documents could prove it with

documents I think that person dies every

time and you know you can't be happy

about

that well how many of you watched at

least some clips from a

US hockey team playing a Canadian team I

don't pay attention to hockey so is it

some kind of playoff situation it's a

playoff right

and is that what it is so give me a fact

check I don't know why the US team and

the Canadian team were playing is it

just a normal League Play they're in the

same league is that a

thing all right well anyway so for some

reason it seemed like an important

hockey game and uh I guess the American

national anthem when it was sung the

Canadians boo which seemed quite

disrespectful to the American team so

the American team just decided that

they're going to start three fights in

the first I nine seconds or something

and uh of course everybody knows that

hockey players fight a lot and it's a

weird sport because the fighting is

allowed up to a point the the refs

actually stand back so instead of

breaking up they stand back and they let

the fight play out now they must have

some some kind of internal rules where

if the fighters go down like if one

drags the other one down to the ice they

break it up immediately but as long as

they're both standing on their skates

and uh they put their stick down I don't

think they can fight by hitting each

other with their hockey stick that

probably would be out of bounds but if

the only thing they're doing is punching

each other while they're standing

apparently the refs let that go as long

as they want as long as the people want

to keep punching each other and I'm sure

if the other teammates tried to get into

it the refs would would stop it so it's

such a weird little not really even a

sport rule that you can punch each other

all day long as long as you do it within

these you know you don't even need a

reason if if the reason was the national

anthem well good enough

so but watching how how theatrical it

happened and then watching what appeared

to be nobody getting hurt whatsoever

it it looked like they were throwing

wild punches they started throwing

punches when both of them had helmets on

and they're they're like punching the

helmets and then the helmets come off

and then there's a whole bunch of more

punching but you really couldn't see

anybody

connect it looked like they could just

do these fake punching all day long

because as long as they were sort of

holding each other by the Jersey they

they seem to be able to avoid the worst

part of the punch and it reminded me of

uh you remember when Jerry Springer was

a huge phenomenon on TV and after a

while there would be a fight every

single episode so somebody who was on

the panel up there on the stage with

Jerry Springer would always every single

show attack somebody who they didn't

like who was also on stage and and it

would look Wild and the punches would be

thrown and the slapping and the hair

pulling but eventually they'd be pulled

apart and I started thinking wow you

know the first few times I saw it I

thought wow that's lucky nobody got hurt

and then it would happen a thousand

times in a row like every single week

and never did anybody get hopiz I didn't

even see a black

eye so it was obvious to me at the time

that the fights were

staged um but let's call it semi staged

meaning that they didn't necessarily say

all right you can only be on TV if you

get in a fight but we'll break it up

don't hurt each other I don't think they

did that but I think that once it was

obvious that fighting was going to be

allowed they may maybe they selected

people who were a little bit more

willing to do it you know maybe there

was subtle encouragement I think there

was but I remember talking to people who

didn't understand that the the fighting

was all

aged and people would say oh no I I

think they're just mad at each other and

there's just a lot of fighting and I

would say okay you believe that a

thousand times in a

row that somebody decided to take a

swing as somebody on stage a thousand

times in a row and a thousand times in a

row without anybody ever getting

seriously

hurt really that that looks organic to

you and and that's when I realized how

dumb the world was cuz I was surrounded

by adult people who voted who believe

that was real just organically happening

and I would try to convince them no no

it's it's more like you know the old

professional wrestling you know it's

part of the show it's just entertainment

no it's it's not organic and people

would mock me and they would say of

course it's organic what are you talking

about and I thought oh my God we're in

trouble if you can't tell that's fake

so then I look at these fights in

hockey these look like fake fights to

me but again I don't think anybody ever

said to the hockey players all right

remember when you're fighting make it

really fake I just think they know that

if they hospitalize another player it's

going to come back to them and so they

try to make sure that you know maybe

they graze a chin you know maybe

somebody gets a a little little tweak in

the ear but mostly just they're just

punching the air and you know punching

in the general direction of people with

no sense that they're trying to hurt

anybody

but you know how impressed we get that

Trump does things that other people say

were impossible well here's what Trump

did when it comes to hockey because

obviously Trump's comments are the

reason that Canada and the US are acting

aggressive towards each other

Trump actually made me like

hockey I loved watching those fights

even though they look so stage not

staged but they didn't look serious I

mean they weren't two people really

trying to hurt each other so uh when I

when I heard the

playback of the

booing and you hear somebody booing the

national anthem it just just

automatically gets your your juices

going you're like what what there has to

be some response to this they booed the

national anthem of our country and then

you see the Americans just throw down

their gloves and just go trying to punch

the out of the Canadian player just

because they're a Canadian player and

the Canadian players having none of it

and punching back just as hard or harder

and it was so

male I just sort of likeed that I mean I

really like I genuinely enjoyed watching

every one of the fights every fake punch

they threw cuz it fell right it just it

just hit me exactly where I wanted to be

hit so so to

speak so I'm definitely going to be

watching the next hockey

game between Canada and the United

States for the

fights all

right

um so apparently uh

Doge might be auditing Fort Knox to see

if they have really gold there have you

heard that rumor it's a conspiracy

theory I guess that Fort Knox hasn't had

any actual gold it's all been stolen or

moved somewhere well Zero Hedge the

publication zeroedge um brought it up on

X and I think Elon Musk saw that comment

and the next thing you know it looks

like fort is going to get

audited now what do you think do you

think the gold is there Asam audited in

50

years do you think that in the United

States gold can sit in a secure facility

for 50 years and nobody stole it I don't

know I don't know I think Alex Jones was

reporting that there seems was it him

somebody was saying that uh there seems

to be some gold moving around the world

and uh you know maybe a little hoarding

and that China might be hoarding some

gold and it makes me wonder if there is

any preparation

for you know paper money collapsing

could it be that China and United States

figure that if regular paper money goes

to hell which seems like it's heading

that direction that the only value will

be gold and that we'll at least we'll

have that and there'll be some way to go

forward I don't know makes you

wonder what's up but we'll find out if

there's a

audit um according to people

matters uh the Doge layoffs went a

little too far with some nuclear weapons

experts and uh they were fired by

mistake and then

rehired so is it I don't know if they

were weapons or just nuclear experts a

little unclear on that but this is

exactly the way the System supposed to

work remember the whole point of Doge

you know the the sort of the DNA of the

operating principle is they're going to

move fast they know they're going to

break stuff and then when somebody

points it out they're going to fix it so

Move Fast Break Stuff Fast Fix stuff

fast here it is they move fast they made

some mistakes in the hiring people said

whoa whoa whoa we can't replace these

new nuclear experts you're going to have

to keep them and then they're rehired

now I I don't know if they successfully

rehired them but the point is this is

exactly what I want to see I want to see

they go too far that but they go fast

they make mistakes they fix it move on

perfect that's perfect system with it it

incorporates the fact that there will be

mistakes and then then it just deals

with them

all right um I guess JD Vance gave a

provocative speech at that European

security conference whatever it was

called and uh went at the Europeans for

saying you know why do you expect our

help in America when you're opposing our

most basic core values of free speech by

trying to censor Americans I love that

frame why are we helping you if you're

trying to stop the very thing that makes

America America free speech so so you

know you could do it to yourselves we

don't recommend it but don't do it to us

if if you're trying to censor us and

you're asking for us to defend you no

and and I think that has to be a hard no

I literally think if if Europe is

censoring the United States we should

give them no defense

whatsoever none uh 100 100% on board

with letting Europe fall to whoever

wants to take him over because if they

can't give us that one

thing the one thing that they should

just keep the out of our

business with with what we say in

America absolutely not and and I'm not

I'm not joking about that I say zero

defense for Europe as long as they're

trying to censor Us in the United States

zero no there's no neg NE oating on that

you need to get that stuff taken care of

because no hard no we're not going to do

a thing for you yeah we we could

watch Russia just roll up Europe I'd be

fine with

it if that's the

alternative if that's the alternative

I'm fine with it because you know what

Putin doesn't do Putin doesn't try to

censor us does

he has Putin ever tried to censor the

United States

I don't believe

so but if we get censored by Europe and

they do have a way to do that because

they can get our multinational

corporations in

trouble uh so not

cool that you're just dead to

me that's what I

feel um so good job JD Vance see you got

really good good grades for not just

presenting America well but doing it

extra well and and saying what needed to

be

said Palmer lucky is on Sean Ryan's

podcast and he had some interesting

things to say about manufacturing he

said that Trump understands that if we

don't manufacture in America we're just

everyone else's so he talked about

how China could just turn off the

economy of the United States anytime it

wants because we can't manufacture over

here and if we can't get the Chinese

Goods we're basically dead

so it does it is a enormous strategic

risk to have your manufacturing

outsourced and uh looks like it's coming

back I think we'll figure out how to get

some of it

back but yeah I would agree with uh

Palmer lucky that if you can't

manufacture in America you don't really

have a future I think that's fair to say

you don't have a future if you can't

manufacture

locally uh if you're not following the

account count by Zion lights which is a

person's first and last name first name

Zion last name lights just like it

sounds like the lights you turn on um

she is uh one of our best uh journalists

SL experts on nuclear energy and and

follows us plus Europe and it's really

sad to see that Germany phased out their

nuclear now they had reasons of course

you know they have people afraid of it

and blah blah blah but apparently they

didn't accomplish their their goals for

you know CO2 which they could have been

a lot closer to if they kept their

nuclear and they're in a world to hurt

it and Great Britain is getting the

Great Britain is currently pro-nuclear

at the government level but the society

is resisting it so there's a big push

back in Great Britain and here's what I

think

I think again this could be one of

America's advantages over everybody

except perhaps China because China's

just going gung-ho with every form of

energy they can get because they have

unlimited need for energy so they're

doing everything right Just Energy first

boom boom boom um and I think the United

States is maybe

finally at a place where we can just say

let's do what makes sense and we we

weren't there for decades for decades we

were like no nuclear power will kill us

all and we don't know what to do with

the waste and all those problems were

solved those are all solved problems the

safety the waste it's all solved the the

waste you basically just keep on site

that's a total solution so I think that

the fact that Democrats at least in

leadership Democrats and also leader

Republicans and also the president are

unambiguously pro-nuclear power

pronuclear power is really really a good

sign and you know all of Silicon Valley

is pro- nuclear power because they need

it for AI and everything else so if

you've got all your Tech Geniuses your

top Republicans and your top Democrats

just fully on board with nuclear

power we're in much better shape

than the countries that are not like

that so France is looking strong you

know they they were early and smart on

nuclear power so they've got a good

nuclear power system going there but uh

in America is probably 10 to 20 years

from you know being able to seriously

say we made a difference in nuclear but

maybe maybe faster if we do the small

modular stuff we'll

see well meanwhile zinsky over in

Ukraine is calling for the formation of

a European Armed

Force now the idea is that since Trump

is saying well we can't do everything in

America where we're doing too much you

need to take care of yourself Europe

that zalinsky says they're going to need

a European Armed

Force now uh it would not replace NATO

it would augment it it would be you know

to boost NATO's power but also have

their own independent

military I guess independent is the

wrong word but a European military now

does anybody care what zalinsky thinks

Europe should

do I don't even need to discuss whether

this is a good idea or a bad idea it

came from ziny I don't think anybody's

listening to him anymore indeed um looks

like Trump and Putin are planning to

meet in Saudi we don't have a date yet

but they're going to meet in Saudi

Arabia to discuss and the war do you

know who they're not bringing they're

not bringing zinski to the conversation

about ending the war in Ukraine do you

know why they're not bringing

zalinsky why would

you he's not relevant because he's going

to do whatever we tell him to do in the

end but we're but they're also not

bringing anybody from Europe so there'll

be no

European and no

Ukrainian just Trump and Putin deciding

what a what a piece would look like and

I think the implication is that if Trump

comes up with a

deal Europe's just going to have to eat

it so better hope it's a deal that

Europe can live with because uh and I

have to

admit If This Were a normal situation

you would want all the stakeholders to

be involved you'd want everybody who had

an interest to be you know weighing in

but I go back to Jamie

Diamond when Jamie Diamond was doing his

rant that got recorded he was being mad

at his own employees and his own company

for you know not stepping up basically

one of the things he talked about was

somebody who couldn't get something done

without 14 different departments

approving it and he was just saying you

can't do that you can't run a great

company where if you want to do

something 14 different departments have

to approve it and he said something like

give me the names of those 14 department

heads and I'll fire them today because

they shouldn't be doing that they're

they're not on the right side if there

are 14 of them this is a similar

situation and it's one of the things I

like most about Trump is the business

experience do you think Trump doesn't

know that if he brings even one extra

person in it up the whole thing of

course he knows that what would happen

if you brought two extra people to your

negotiation if it up twice as

badly what if you brought three

different countries that all have an

interest then it's triple so

Trump is doing the only thing that can

work Jamie Diamond is telling you the

only thing that can work is you can't

bring in 14 people you just can't do it

there's no way to get from here to there

through 14 different interests you've

got to find something that works for two

key players arguably the two important

ones and then if you're going to get it

done you got to shove it down the

throats of the other people even if it's

not their perfect solution there's no

other way to do it so if you think he's

you know being a dictator and blah blah

blah well no more than Jamie

Diamond somebody's got to be in charge

and somebody's got to say this process

can work this Pro this other process

where you got 14 people deci what works

that can never work that can never work

so if you want something to

work yeah two people at a summit is I i'

do it that's exactly how I would do it

and I would definitely leave zinsky home

no doubt about

that so anyway but also Saudi Arabia is

hosting that Arab Summit as I said so I

like the fact that

Saudi is acting like a real Ally have

you noticed that

it it's it feels like not all of our

allies act like

allies but there might be some

exceptions you know there could easily

be some exceptions I don't know about

but I do appreciate I do appreciate that

Saudi seems somewhat

consistently trying to make sure that

America and Saudi Arabia have a strong

ongoing connection and they're not

sabotaging us while secretly trying to

help us or vice versa so

I know I'm I know I'm speaking too soon

and maybe they're doing things we don't

like as well but I kind of like the way

it looks the way it feels so good job

Saudi Arabia so

far and uh then according to San

Francisco University of California San

Francisco um did you know that there's

an alarming rise in advanced prostate

cancer in California so California more

than other states but also um the other

states stopped reducing the cancer

deaths and they've plateaued so the idea

is

that specific cancer prostate cancer has

gotten worse in California

now NPCs would you like to blame the the

vaccination for that

NPCs remember swimming is the best form

of exercise

uh French Press is the best for coffee

and that green stuff is soil and

green now this started before the

pandemic so before the

pandemic listen to me before the

pandemic this trend started it seems

related to uh they say it's it's related

to less

screening so the less screening they say

is leading to worse outcomes I'm not

entirely sure that makes a difference

because I've seen studies that say that

Great Britain doesn't doesn't do as much

um screening as we do for this specific

cancer and their life expectancies are

much different so there's a little

conflicting data some data says that

this screening doesn't make a difference

but California's seeming to indicate it

did I don't know I don't trust any news

I don't trust any data remember all data

is the fox counting the chickens and you

can never trust the fox to count the

chickens but the only thing I wanted to

point out is this is a case where it

definitely happened before the pandemic

and before the vaccinations

so there might be some several unrelated

reasons that uh you know the cancer

rates are up that don't have to do with

vaccinations and don't have to do with

covid but also there could be some of

that so I'm not ruling out that any of

that's you know I'm not I'm not saying

that the vaccinations do or do not cause

a problem like that but there do see do

seem to be some other

reasons so just so you heard that well

if you didn't know it um I posted on

locals yesterday and then I reposted on

X um a lesson on uh risk management now

before you before you tell me what I'm

going to tell you just wait for me to

say it first okay nobody cares about who

got a vaccination during the pandemic

it's old news old story but it's a

really good lesson in risk

management and uh I would argue that if

you if you weren't good at risk

management you often said something like

and and people said this to me and

comment to my my lesson they said said

uh Scott the only thing I needed to know

is that the government said it was a

good idea and it was called

experimental so therefore that's all I

needed to

know and so I thought to myself are

there any examples where the government

wanted you to do something that was good

for you because if everything the

government recommends is bad for you

that's a pretty good

reason if every time the government said

you should do this was always wrong just

always then I guess you wouldn't need to

know anything else you just say oh who's

who's saying oh the government's saying

it are the government okay well I'm not

not going to do that but then I thought

to myself how many things are there that

the government says you should do that

are good ideas are there

any I see you saying seat belts and

smallpox um well doesn't the government

say you probably shouldn't have asbestos

in your

house they say that right are they wrong

should you put some asbest in your

house um how about the food pyramid the

food pyramid used to be all wrong and

maybe it's a little wrong now but would

you do the opposite of the food pyramid

would you eat a bunch of processed foods

and Sugar Foods as much as you wanted

because the government says you

shouldn't so I guess you have to ask

yourself what is

the say the the people who haven't seen

my video they still think they know how

to do risk management so I tried to try

to um deal with those of you who really

don't understand the any risk management

whatsoever those of you who just said

the government said it's good for me

therefore it's bad or related to that

fizer said it's good for me therefore

it's bad or we use the word

experimental they said it's experimental

and therefore why would I take an

experiment those are not

reasons if if you thought that that was

good risk management that you're just

looking at who said it that doesn't

really

work how many of you don't know that

that's not really any kind of standard

that's part of reason

that's that's like

reading you know uh chicken entrails and

trying to predict the future that's like

a horoscope it's like flipping a coin

that it's not part of the

reasoned the reasoning or the it's not

part of reason it's just

irrational but sometimes irrational

reasons can get you to the right answer

if it's a coin flip if there are only

two possibilities it's good for you or

it's not

then any method you use is likely to

have a 50% chance of working all right

I'm going to pray to the sun

Gods well you had a 50/50 chance of

getting the right answer no matter how

ridiculous your reasoning was to get

there so here's what's happened I've

just got tired of stupid people so the

stupid people who are giving me stupid

reasons for why they did or did

not get the shot you just have to

be you have to understand that you're

stupid and just leave me alone so if you

don't want to listen to my risk analysis

just leave me alone because you're not

part of any helpful anything you you

like to brag that you got one lucky

thing right I'm not going to put up with

it anymore so it's also good to find out

who to block so I I blocked all the

people who said oh I just listened to

the government and uh did the opposite

all

right

um every once in a while the government

gets one right but no now and the same

people are now going to say oh Scott

says you should do whatever the

government

says because their their reasoning is so

bad that they have to distort what I say

to disagree with it if you actually

agreed with what or or if you had a

reason you'd give a reason but usually

oh he's he's so dumb he just believes

whatever he's told the opposite of the

risk management lesson I give

you all

right yes my my critics are experiencing

severe cognitive dissonance now you you

can decide if I'm the one you can just

listen to the video and you would very

quickly detect if I had cognitive

dissonance

because I make a bunch of claims and you

can just look at them all it either fits

together or it doesn't and if you don't

think it fits

together somebody says my risk

management was better than

yours well not your

reasoning yeah not your reasoning just

trying to help all right so again nobody

cares about the pandemic it's old news

but it might help you you understand how

risk management

works um for those of you who want to

stick around on locals I'm going to say

hi to you the rest of you have a great

Sunday I'll see you tomorrow same time

same place but local supporters only I

will be private with you in 30

seconds
