Episode 2765 CWSA 03/01/25

are I think it's time for a show come on in here let's get my comments working and then we'll go wild come on comments you can do it there we are good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams you never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a coverm or a glass of tanker Chels a Stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee en join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simult a sip and it happens now good stuff well um after the show will be a spaces event with hosted by Owen Gregorian if you want to talk some more about whatever happened here or I suppose anything else it's on your mind so right after the show look for Owen Gregorian and a spaces event there'll be more fun all right spaces is the audio only service this onx um well first lady Melania Trump is uh announced she's going to be doing a Easter egg roll you know they always do that as a White House Easter Egg Roll But I remember the days when uh I used to do Easter egg events when I was a kid and it was always about the money you know if you found an egg of a certain type you get a certain amount of money what wasn't much it was like 10 cents or 25 cents but I think if I went to the White House egg roll I would just like grab the eggs and run away maybe resell them how can they afford to have an egg roll I know maybe maybe Doge found enough money that can afford eggs now meanwhile core inflation has dropped to a seven month low of 2.6 do you know what core inflation is core inflation is the one you don't care about because it doesn't include food or energy the two things that have gone up the most no food no energy well at least the rest of the stuff isn't going up too much it's still too high you want your you want your inflation to be around 2% but hey it's the best in seven months meanwhile let's talk about all those Epstein files we've seen uh what Epstein files and I'm going to say again I realized cash Patel did some kind of a post the other day but he's been really quiet do you think there's anything going to happen on these Epstein files I'm going to double down on my prediction and say that no matter how well-intentioned the administration is no matter how much they really really mean it and they're not lying I don't think there's any chance I don't think there's any chance we'll see you know good EP and stuff anyway so you probably have all seen by now the video of the zalinsky debacle some say in the white house so but you haven't gotten my take on it yet so that's why you're here you know I hate it when something happens right after my show and then I have to wait all day to talk about it and everybody's already picked it over so there's not much to say but I'll just say this two reality TV stars who both became presidents walked into the White House what do you think was going to happen these are two experts at making a a spectacle in front of a crowd nobody better I mean they're the most experienced spectacle making put it on the show and it's funny that when it was over Trump you know looked at the media and said you it was good TV so I think a lot of people are confusing the show with anything that matters in the real world and I think the show was really fun and probably in the end none of it will matter in the real world one way or another it won't really matter so here's what we got it looked a lot like an episode of The Apprentice didn't it where zalinski was you know basically getting fired by Trump and kicked out of the White House it was just like The Apprentice you're fired get out of here so anyway um what Bannon was saying and some others have said I don't know the details but apparently zalinsky was getting some advice from other Senators some are calling them rhinos um and I guess he had a breakfast that day with some rhinos and there's a indication that maybe Susan Rice was advising him which some would say would be a violation of the Logan act where you're not supposed to be negotiating for the United States unless you're in the government and they're not so maybe he got bad advice it it sort of looked like he was a little emboldened like he could push Trump a little bit but that didn't work out um so I guess the big problem is that zensi agreed to this mineral deal which seems like it was you know part of a larger package which we don't know about yet but then he gets there and he says he he doesn't necessarily want a ceasefire he wants a security deal and that wasn't part of the deal so he made the mistake of trying to negotiate with Trump and JD Vance while indicating to them and to the world right in front of them that maybe they didn't understand the risk of of Putin now how do you think that went over didn't go over well so JD Vance goes first and you know starts dressing him down in public for not being um thankful enough and trying to come to the White House and being a little bit of a jerk he didn't use that those words but once JD Vance lit into him you knew that Trump would have to double it which he did and by the way Trump is the best talkover debater I've ever heard he can talk over somebody as long as it takes until they just give up and that's what happened he and zinsky tried to talk over each other and Trump just wasn't going to lose that now I'm going to keep talking until you shut up and he just talked over him and you didn't hear anything that zalinsky said for like you know two minutes in a row and finally zalinsky just gave up because you couldn't even hear what he was saying and then Trump went on and and that's what happened anyway when uh zinsky said that you know Trump might feel different or feel differently when uh Putin crosses the ocean someday and comes for them and Trump says don't tell me what I'm going to feel you don't have the right to tell me what I feel you have no cards no cards so basically it looked like zilinski was criticizing Vance and Trump for either not doing enough or not understanding the real threat with Putin that you can't appease him he's just going to come for you eventually um but so he kicks zalinsky out and you know I thought there was some chance he might come back that same day but it didn't happen he's already going off to Great Britain zilinsky has now I'm going to I'm going to judge this whole event on at least two Dimensions Dimension number one enter entertainment oh my God it was entertaining it was wonderful I I felt proud to be an American and have my president not take in the in the oval well in the way house I just like that Vance and Trump weren't putting up with it that's exactly what I wanted to see so entertainment it was a 10 I replayed it multiple times it was just fun every time but here's the thing you need to know uh in big deals like this whether it's a merger or any kind of really big deal it's pretty common for one of them to walk away and it's pretty common if they both want the deal and there's a deal to be had and it's a good deal that they'll probably come back the the one thing that people say about Trump that's meant to be an insult is that he's transactional meaning that he would immediately get over his feelings if you know there was a deal because he'd rather have the deal than anything else so uh the funny part or even lindsy Graham agree cited with uh Trump now lindsy Graham is a sort of a famous Ukraine war hawk has been supporting Crane's getting weapons everything but even Lindsey Graham said uh you know that he was a strong advocate for zinsky in Ukraine and but he said he's devastated by zelinsky's behavior and that undo all the hard work of recent years and He suggests that Ukrainian people find a new leader and he praised Trump for standing up to him so that's that's interesting but uh remember I told you that well James garville told you and then I told you what James Carville said that the the Democrat strategy now is the way for Trump to make a mistake because they don't have anything to add so literally they're they're going to wait for Trump to make mistakes and then they can attack him so so that means that they're going to Define everything that Trump does as a mistake not really different than the past but they're not going to put up with anything he does at all they're going to say well there it is that's chaos that's the end of the world every sing he walked across the lawn well look at how he walked across the lawn with that chaos legs and you know all that um but the funny part is watching the theater kids on the Democrats because they have to pretend that they uh that they don't understand the situation and that they feel really bad so they all put on their disgust face you need to look at the uh there's some some compilations of people on MSNBC pretending to be very sad about this event and they'll have the oh oh oh face oh oh I'm so sad oh my my country got embarrassed and and they're competing to see who could do the most theater kid thing and it's so unserious that's ridiculous um let's see was it David Axelrod he goes in a post and X he says I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than a spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office really this is one of the guys who supported Joe Biden through four years of obvious demen and then we all found out that they all knew it and they were all covering it up and that was not more embarrassing what is it that makes you embarrassed David axon it makes you embarrassed when the president of the United States stands up to uh some piss an in the White House who's challenging him that that's what embarrasses you but keeping a mentally you know mentally deficient president in the office well nobody knew who was in charge lying to the world and then getting caught because he does the uh he does the debate and it became obvious that he wasn't there none of that was embarrassing nothing but this yeah no none of this is real meaning that the Democrats are pretending to be terribly upset are they terribly upset no no nobody's terribly upset nobody's really embarrassed nobody's shamed by it I I think we'll survive the shame I think we'll survive it anyway in my opinion um Putin probably should not increase his military attacks he probably he doesn't want to you know do a ceasefire unilaterally unilaterally but if Putin is smart he's already got a little bit of a win so he should just play it really cool and still look for some some way to end the war I think you will um but as long as this deal ever made sense and I'm not sure it did because I don't know the deal but if the deal ever made sense and zilinski ever liked it just the mineral part um they it'll get done I mean it might take a while or whatever but if they both want it you the fact that they had a little dust up in the in the White House it won't stop anything now let me put this back in the context of the the reality TV stars If This Were a reality TV show how would it end it would almost certainly end with the two combatants three if you count JD Vance um doing another public event because you would have to tune in you'd be like oh my God it's going to happen again it's going to happen again it would be must CV but this time maybe they just signed the deal so I don't think you can discount that you have two individuals who operate at the highest level of understanding the show the show it's part of politics you got to put on a show and the fact that they put on a tremendous show everybody was entertained even if you were embarrassed oh oh oh I'm so embarrassed for my country even then you probably enjoyed it so yeah if I had to predict I would say if it was ever a good deal and that's a big if because I don't know I don't know that was a good deal but if they both liked it at one point it'll get done and it'll be another reality TV biggest ratings for a for a political event of all time uh no no real lasting problem if I had to guess there's no lasting no lasting impact on the real world the deal will be the deal if they like it uh there'll be a deal with Russia or not but none of this will matter matter it's not going to make a difference uh one of the things Trump said was uh that that that Trump and Putin went through a lot together with the Russia collusion hoax so people said my god do you love Putin or what why are you saying that you went through a lot together well let me explain this um Putin is trying to flatter and um let's say pace Trump and he's doing a good job Trump is trying to flatter and pace and tell him he's a friend to Putin and he's doing a good job both of them are operating at the highest level of persuasion both of them are right on point and and let me say it again Trump is the best when it comes to this but Putin's in the same weight class right it's it's not a completely unfair fight uh they both have the skills all the way down so what we're watching is that there might be some you know larger deal that Trump wants to do with uh Russia we don't know what that is yet but it's funny that we talk about Russia as our enemy when China Mexico and Canada are poisoning us with fentanyl and Russia isn't Russia is just trying to sell US Energy now I get I get that he has Imperial Ambitions he wants to uh conquer some of those countries um and maybe all of Europe for the greater good of I don't know uh who knows what he really wants we just assume we know what he wants uh how about Ukraine who who's been a bigger pain in the ass to us lately Ukraine or Russia well our money is going to Ukraine and it's dividing the country um so it it's hard to talk about it without being called a Putin lover because that's what all the dumb people do you you know Democrats if you say anything they don't like they call you a racist and a bigot it's just automatic it doesn't matter what you say um if you mention Putin in any context other than we must spend all of our blood and treasure to destroy the evil Russian Empire if you say anything but that oh oh I I see you you want to have oral sex with Putin is what you're saying oh oh you love him did you send him a Valentine's card oh well well you seem to be a Putin apologist some kind of a Putin puppet apologist so it's just the latest stupid Democrat thing to say it it's so unored from any adult anything so Sean Davis say uh uh wait till Democrats W Democrats are other people too I guess wa till they find out who we partnered with in World War II Stalin so um the PE the dumb people the people who I I don't know they just don't have good arguments that their their argument is that the only people we should be nice to are other democracies like Europe and that if somebody's a dictator we shouldn't be nice to them or work with them or do deals with them but I live in the real world dictators exist if they didn't exist well that' be great advice but they exist and they have access to huge amounts of energy which matters and they have lots of weapons which matters and uh sometimes we have you know things we disagree with and sometimes we agree so if you can't work with dictators and democracies you're you're just a crippled government you would be a government that just can't do anything because there's so many dictators if you only were nice to democracies you know and by the way the democracies we're talking about are the ones trying to censor Americans through the social media networks um I don't know that Trump is ever I don't know that Putin has ever tried to censor me what what problems has has Putin caused for me but Europe has caused some really damn problems um I'm I still blame the UK for whatever happened with that Russia collusion thing because there were just too many British people involved in that whole deal uh so I don't know I would say maybe our maybe our friends are kind of a problem too you know not as big a problem as you know maybe Russia if you want to if you want to rank it but there's nobody here who's innocent at all all right so here's the uh here's the thing that uh wonder about if the if the only way that Ukraine were going to be protected from any further Onslaught by Russia if the only thing that would be protecting them is America's contribution and weapons and stuff and and then Europe's um does Trump's idea of just doing a mineral deal with no security guarantees does that does that mean that you basically were giving away Ukraine and it's not ours to give away although you could argue that we did overthrow Ukraine and install a puppet and maybe it was ours at one point and maybe we maybe we do kind of own it we do kind of own it which is pretending we don't so anyway um how how does it work that Putin would not attack Ukraine because we did a mineral deal with Ukraine if we didn't have military assets there um is it just the risk that we would turn on the flow of money and and fund Ukraine with better weapons see Trump has made the claim that there wouldn't have been a war if he had been president but he also makes the claim that if he makes a peace it will hold again because of the force of his personality and whatever relation he's created with Putin do you believe that do you believe that if Trump is President he could do a he could do an adequate um risk assessment and threat so that Putin would say you know what this is really not the time to get adventurous because we're sort of getting along and I don't really need to own Poland and all right but what happens when Trump leaves what if Trump leaves office is is Putin going to be held in check because he either respects the new president or he fears the consequences I know so I do think that Trump needs to do a better job of explaining what it looks like and and why anything that we're involved in would keep Putin from taking the rest of Ukraine the moment it's underfunded now you might say Scott it'll never be underfunded because Europe can just step up and if they want it's completely up to them they can put a massive amount of money in there to replace whatever money we were giving and everybody's good now that would be okay with me if if Europe wants to be paying nearly all of it and we're just out from the funding perspective but you know maybe we sell weapons to Europe to give to them or something that would be fine I wouldn't have any problems with that well a Million Dead Russians um that is a domestic problem for Putin but it's not like he's going to you know be kicked out of office he's pretty secure all right so fed Zakaria on real time so let me just finish that point I think Trump needs to do a better job of describing what the future of Ukraine looks like if the only security guarantees are no security guarantees we're just doing a big deal with you and so Russia wouldn't dare attack your country when we have major assets there is that the whole game or or is there something we don't know about yet but that part is the important part now I told you before that the real secret of this negotiation is it can't be just about Ukraine and Russia it's got to be about more comprehensive how do we deal with Russia in the future um you know on all levels militarily energy-wise economically are we increasing NATO or not so that stuff hasn't been discussed yet and I I've heard people say oh Putin's the big winner to which I say how do you know that how do we know anything we don't know what any kind of deal would look like is Putin the big winner and then I say if if two countries are at War and they don't want to be at War and the people are paying for it don't want to be paying for it and then somehow Trump can make all that stop who's not better off isn't Ukraine better off not being in a war are we better off not paying isn't Putin better off you know consolidating his gains so a good agreement would be good for everybody relative to the Alternatives which are ugly here's what freed Zakaria said on real time last night um he basically jokingly said that the zelinsky's mistake is that he should have gone in there and said Mr.

President Trump I'm paraphrasing uh you've been such a God send to Ukraine you're the greatest we want to give you the highest Ukrainian civil award and maybe build a statue to I'm paraphrasing a little bit but the idea was fored said he didn't he didn't play to Trump's ego and that's what went wrong to which I say what kind of an analysis is that the deal was already done all zinsky had to do was sign it that's it he didn't need to do any flattering there was no flattering requested no flattering given and they had to deal so I would say that maybe he didn't have to offer anything because they already had a deal so that's sort of a dumb analysis speaking of dumb analysis The Wall Street Journal editorial board I swear that their editorial board it read like a high school essay I I I just read it and I thought what what is wrong with you um so they headlin for their edit editorial on this is Putin wins the Trump zalinsky Oval Office spectacle is that really the way to frame this that Putin won now we know that Putin liked it and the Russians thought it was great entertainment but so did I why don't they say uh and the mega people won because they really enjoyed it so Putin enjoyed it and we enjoyed it what will be different I I can't think of anything I don't think it'll really affect the real world I don't think it'll change what would have been their funding because Trump wanted to get out of that anyway and I don't think it'll affect anything so but that they think somebody won that's just the worst way to look at a three-way negotiation four-way if you count Europe and I guess you should and uh they said uh that Vance JD Vance started the public fight okay how many times do I have to read some dumbass in the news not understanding who starts a fight if I hear one more person tell me that Russia started the war in Ukraine without any reference to the things that happened before he crossed the border as in you know the NATO expansion and blah blah blah it if none of that's mentioned you're not really a serious person and the Wall Street Journal editorial go does the same thing with JD Vance do do you think JD Vance should just sat there and let that little punk uh in the white house while they're trying to help do you think they should let him lecture them on how they don't understand negotiations and they don't understand Putin and he's going to come for them over the ocean and that this deal isn't really good and you haven't really done much for us you've just weakened Us in fact did so who started the fight I don't think JD Vance started the fight I think he was quick he was quick to enter it but then once he entered it Trump had to double it so then Trump did his thing because there's no way that Trump is going to let JD Vance be the baddest mofo in the room that just isn't going to happen so JD Vance goes in as a really bad mofo like quite impressive I must say that he took him on directly and uh even from a position of number two number well maybe number three if he count Secretary of State but uh he wasn't the one in power but he he just defended America defended the White House defended his president defended um everything so that was quite baller I have to say I really that that was a look from JD Vance that will probably go a long way to making him the top candidate after Trump and but like I said there's no way in any world that Trump is going to let somebody else be the the baddest mofo in the room so he had to take it up a level as he does and it was brilliant it was brilliant in in the showman way um and that's all it was it was just a show all right so and then also the whole Putin wins just ignores the fact that we have a much bigger set of interests with with Russia and until we know what that looks like you know what kind of a deal we would have with Russia until we know what that looks like you can't really say anybody won because we don't know what that looks like but did they imagine that Trump was just going to give Russia everything he wanted doesn't sound like Trump Joy bear uh accused Elon Musk of supporting apartheid when musk grew up in South Africa now he did not there's no there's no there's no evidence of that whatsoever but here's what she said Joy bear on The View uh the guy was not born in this country okay oh oh oh oh oh my God she she abandons the most core Democrat principle that if you if you decide to live in this country you call yourself an American you act like an American you're an American citizen and you're doing more for America than just about any other Citizen and she has to start with you're not an American or you're not born in this country that that's basically throwing away their most basic principle just to get a dig at Elon Musk then she goes on uh so he has this mentality going on does he because she's reading his mind right he was Pro aparti now there's no evidence that uh as I understand it he told her then after uh uh then there was a break and I guess she got her ass kicked by the management because there's no evidence that he's ever been pro-apartheid and if you call somebody Pro apartheid like it's a fact and you do it on television in our current environment that's a $25 million mistake so they were probably 10 seconds away from losing $25 million to dumb old joy bayar for just making up just making up uh and then then here's how she uh responded to it once once she'd been corrected and they came back I'm getting some Flack because I said that musk was pro- aparti I don't really know for sure if he was imagine saying that when you didn't know for sure God uh and then she goes he grew up at that time when athe party was in full bloom before the great Nelson menzela fixed that he was around at that time what like she's trying to still be right even though there's no evidence whatsoever and she's trying to make they well he was around during that time so QED oh my God and then then she goes on maybe he was maybe he wasn't is that how you treat an American citizen that well you know I don't know if he's a Nazi maybe he was maybe he wasn't I don't know it's sort of ambiguous seems like he hung around with people who had bad opinions even you know maybe not personally but he was in the same country with people had bad opinions so you can't ignore the fact that he was in the same country with people who had bad opinions yeah you can so this just terrible I can't believe she still has a job um then Elon Musk went on Joe Rogan you may have seen it and he was talking about that they were doing to him meaning the Democrats doing to Elon Musk what they did to Trump which is the the Hitler play and and he says directly they're basically trying to get me killed by comparing me to Hiller and that's exactly what they're trying to do that's exactly what they're trying to do so unbelievable it it's we're so lucky that musk is still willing to help the United States when the United States is acting like it doesn't deserve it uh that takes a lot of character to still be Allin on the United States when when half of the United States is calling him a Nazi that takes character well the Wall Street Journal has an article by Joanne Lipman can white men finally stop complaining and these the subtitle of the article this is a Wall Street Journal and for 50 years we've been hearing from white men who feel threatened by the gains of women and minorities no you stupid we're not complaining because we feel threatened we're being we're complaining because for 50 years we've been overtly discriminated against for being straight white men we you can't get a job you can't get a contract for 50 years and the reason that you didn't know how bad it was is because white men are not allowed to talk like you saying can white men finally stop complaining that's right we were trained that if we even complained for a minute it meant we were bigots that's over people like me gave up everything so that we could say what we were feeling I gave up everything I'm going to say what I'm feeling you're a piece of and you're the problem and is this is pure racial discrimination and bigotry against white men and I won't have it and I think that we've grown this I I think that we can just say you don't care move on get rid of your stupid Dei get rid of your stupid ESG and let's try to compete on Merit for once how about that piece of anyway speaking of so uh the hill says that K Harris is hasn't decided to run for governor of California here's the funny thing so because she hasn't decided the the other candidates can't really wait in and they can't really get any money because everybody thinks she would be the front runner if she gets in so she's really Frozen the entire California Democrat Party they they can't kind of do anything they're just Frozen now here's the funny part correct me if I'm wrong but K Laris destroyed the entire uh Federal n let say National Democratic party didn't she don't you think it was mostly Comm Harris that just destroyed Democrats because she was the ultimate Dei uh candidate and they just took Dei to the ultimate conclusion and everything broke just like you would imagine it would on paper and now she's taking that same toxic destructive thing and she's taking it to California now she's going to ruin democrat's chance of winning maybe Forever by running for governor now she might actually even win which is the weird part because you know we're such a blue state but the fact that she's destroying the Democrat Party nationally and then started destroying it in the biggest state boy she's got a she's got something to put on her Wikipedia page right there anyway good for you kamla you're almost done destroying everything about the Democrats well Secretary of Defense Heth has confirmed that Trump Has Lifted restrictions on Military raids and air strikes now that doesn't mean all restrictions but uh they won't have to get approval so much so I think this is just taking it back to where it was in the first Administration and I do believe the reporting is that the military became a lot more effective because they didn't have to ask so much for permission and that makes a big difference so that's a good move probably speaking of Democrats uh in New York City former Governor Andrew Cuomo is getting ready people think to run for mayor of New York City now how bad is the pool of Democrats that Andrew Cuomo who had scandals involve sexual harassment which he resigned rather than you know go through I suppose it could have gotten worse if he didn't resign and and then he also had the scandal of the unreported deaths in the co nursing homes can he overcome with sexual harassment claims if you're a Democrat if you're a Democrat male can you get elected if you've got these credible sounding claims I I'll say sounding because I'm not the one who believes claims are real uh just automatically they might be anything's possible but I don't know I wasn't there so I'm I'm just going to say there are claims that's the only thing I know so but do you think that the Democrats can get the you know the white guy straight white guy who's got claims of sexual harassment can they really elect him in today's environment I don't know but it's hilarious to me that he might be their best shot I will say that um that Cuomo probably is the best talker they have uh we'll talk about fedman in a minute but Andrew Cuomo he just has that U leadership Charisma voice thing going on so he can act like he's a leader and he he can pull that off so he does have the chops I mean he was governor right so we know he has the chops I don't know but I don't know if he can get over these scandals well meanwhile Bill Maher on his show said that um the best candidate for president who was a Democrat would be fedman and his argument was that fedman talks like a normal guy and even Trump said he's a common sense guy and uh he has authenticity and Charisma and balls I was trying to imagine a president Federman having a meeting with zalinski on a casual Friday that would be the that would be the sloppiest looking meeting you ever saw in your life seninsky would be the well-dressed one in that case well I'm going to agree with Bill Maher that fedman is the only one I see on their party who in my opinion could make a serious play for the presidency now you know he may have other problems that we don't know about you know maybe maybe if you run for president they bring out the big guns and the the reports of things that we haven't heard before so anything could happen but I I have to completely agree with Mar on this that if you just looking at the vibe he puts off and how he connects with ordinary people uh on top of having you know ivy league degree and some government experience um he he would be one to beat I think he would be one to beat uh there's a public interest law firm I didn't get the name of it that's filing a civil rights complaint uh against New York and Wisconsin on behalf of contractors so I guess if you're Contracting with the government in those two places um New York and Wisconsin if you don't hit the just right approval of diversity so if your if your firm doesn't have you know just the ideal diversity you can't get the job and one of the contractors said this multiple times a day we lose orders because we're not a minority business uh the source uh who supplies contractors for the government infrastructure projects requested anonymity because of fear of reprisals so there's a white man who can't even talk in public with his own name can't even talk in public with his own name when he's complaining about being discriminated against and the and the case for him being discriminated against against is not even controversial it's it well it's controversial but it's not in question there's nobody who says oh yes you must be bad at what you do uh you can get as many contracts as you want why are you white men complaining now everybody knows that you can't get contracts unless you have some you know golden ratio of diversity and male and female so there's lawsuits coming good I hope the lawsuits are successful meanwhile the White House said that 29 Mexican cartel members uh and one of them is like described as the most evil cartel boss one of the evil ones are being extradited to the United States 29 that's a lot if they're really bosses I mean if they're just people it's not a lot but if they're all kind of bosses no I guess some of them are just members and there's one at least one's a boss um but here's my question we all suspect that the Mexican government has some kind of arrangement with the cartels but at the same time they have to pretend that they don't so do you think that these 29 Mexican cartel members are just went through the legal system in Mexico and and it's all perfectly copasetic or is it slightly more possible that a competing cartel said you know you could get rid of 29 people for us you know they're they're they're in our territory and we'd like to get our territory back so why don't you pretend you're working with the United States productively but really just get rid of our competition and we'll bribe you to do that how would we know if that were happening see every time there's a cartel person that Mexico gives up you know they capture them and give up I always wonder if they're just working for the other cartel you know they got better bribed by the other cartel I have a real problem thinking that the that what's happening is that Mexico is doing its level best to battle the cartels with the United States help it doesn't feel like I live in the world where things are that clean so I guess I'll be skeptical about these cartel members meanwhile all the boxes from maralago remember box gate and the accusations that Trump had taken with him nuclear secrets and just stored them in the bathroom at Mar Lago well apparently they weren't that sensitive because they've all been returned so the charges dropped and and 100% of what he had is being returned now to be fair uh Trump could have just Declassified him because he's the president again so he certainly would have the ability to declassify them but do you you think you would have Declassified nuclear secrets no no do you think he said I'm president so I'm going to declassify this how to make a nuclear bomb and I'm just going to keep it in the bathroom and Mar Lago in a box no so do we have do you feel that we can confirm at this point that that was all fake I think we can right that was pure lawfare pure fake because otherwise they wouldn't give it all back if they give 90% of it back then I would have said yeah maybe there was something to it maybe they did have some secrets in those boxes but if they give it all back I have a real tough time believing it was ever a problem anyway the uh according to new Atlas two beers a day shrinks your brain as much as a decade of Aging so if you have four beers a day you beat age 20 years uh alcohol is poison I've got lots of stories about this I don't need to go any deeper according the Trump Administration according to the National pulse has uh removed 50,000 migrants so far most of them ones who had legal troubles does that sound like a good number do do you feel like you're getting your money's worth from Tom homman 50,000 in 2 months well last month and a half right 50,000 if they're the 50,000 worst or they're among the among the worst that's a really big deal because this might represent a reduction of violent crime of like 50 to 100,000 per year because these were the worst of the worst and if you get rid of the worst of the worst you know the violent ones and the Dangerous Ones it feels like that's a whole lot of crime that's been reduced that seems like a big number to me do you remember the big hoax in Canada where there was some claim that there were over 200 um I guess it I don't know what you call them in in Canada but is it First Nations they have a different term for the indigenous population before the before the other Canadians moved in so in America it would be the Native Americans I don't know what they call them in Canada but anyway the thought was that there was some kind of uh indigenous Mass Graves that would be suggesting that the Canadians of not too long ago were just murdering them and putting them in a mass grave so there were big protests there was a giant thing it was a big story and and Trudeau put together this uh Committee of experts to go look for any more because I thought oh man this this might not even be alone there might be other Mass Graves and so so they looked and they looked and they looked guess how many they found well none and they just disbanded the entire committee the entire thing was a hoax there was never any Mass grave in that category and even after looking for it really hard didn't find any so that's a that's Canada's fine people hoax basically apparently according to a publication called the new Arab uh the us is going to pitch to a bunch of Arab real estate developers Trump's Gaza plan so that's going to come up um so the US will convene a summit with Regional Real Estate developers that seems like a productive thing now you could disagree whether that should be developed or who should own and all that but I kind of like the fact that the conversation is about who's going to develop it cuz that feels like you know it's a little optimism a little little potential for the future um I don't know that it'll be it'll be uh you know optimized and then people will move back but we'll see but it's good that they're having that did you know according to S poost Eric Dolan's writing that AI can spot depression of old people through their driving habits don't all all old people drive exactly the same I don't know how you could tell which ones are which ones are depressed but oh it is called the First Nations yes thank you all right um so anyway that's happening and that's all I had today um so after the show Fairly soon now uh Owen Gregorian will be hosting a spaces event on a and that will be uh um for anybody who wants to talk about this stuff or more I know you got lots more to say about zalinski by the way how many ways are there to spell zalinski I've seen it with z l e z l i and sometimes with one y at the end sometimes with two and AI doesn't help me because it just goes back and forth so I don't know what's going on with that anyway so join uh Owen Gregorian and spaces you could just Google him and you'll find his account and you'll see I I also reposted the the announcement so you can find the link there and thanks for joining everybody I'm going to say a few words to the locals people privately but the rest of you thanks for joining and I'll see you tomorrow e e e

are I think it's time for a

show come on in

here let's get my comments working and

then we'll go

wild come on comments you can do

it there we are

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams you never

had a better time but if you'd like to

take this experience up to levels that

nobody can even understand with their

tiny shiny human brains all you need for

that is a coverm or a glass of tanker

Chels a Stein a canteen jug or flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee en join me

now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the simult

a sip and it happens

now good

stuff well um after the show will be a

spaces event with hosted by Owen

Gregorian if you want to talk some more

about whatever happened here or I

suppose anything else it's on your mind

so right after the show look for Owen

Gregorian and a spaces event

there'll be more

fun all right spaces is the audio only

service this

onx um well first lady Melania Trump is

uh announced she's going to be doing a

Easter egg roll you know they always do

that as a White House Easter Egg Roll

But I remember the days when uh I used

to do Easter egg events when I was a kid

and it was always about the money you

know if you found an egg of a certain

type you get a certain amount of money

what wasn't much it was like 10 cents or

25 cents

but I think if I went to the White House

egg roll I would just like grab the eggs

and run away maybe resell them how can

they afford to have an egg roll I know

maybe maybe Doge found enough money that

can afford eggs now meanwhile core

inflation has dropped to a seven month

low of

2.6 do you know what core inflation

is core inflation is the one you don't

care about because it doesn't include

food or energy the two things that have

gone up the most no food no

energy well at least the rest of the

stuff isn't going up too much it's still

too high you want your you want your

inflation to be around 2% but hey it's

the best in seven

months meanwhile let's talk about all

those Epstein files we've

seen uh what Epstein files

and I'm going to say again I realized

cash Patel did some kind of a post the

other day but he's been really quiet do

you think there's anything going to

happen on these Epstein files I'm going

to double down on my prediction and say

that no matter how well-intentioned the

administration is no matter how much

they really really mean it and they're

not

lying I don't think there's any chance I

don't think there's any chance we'll see

you know good EP and stuff

anyway so you probably have all seen by

now the video of the zalinsky debacle

some say in the white house so but you

haven't gotten my take on it yet so

that's why you're here you know I hate

it when something happens right after my

show and then I have to wait all day to

talk about it and everybody's already

picked it over so there's not much to

say but I'll just say this

two reality TV stars who both became

presidents walked into the White

House what do you think was going to

happen these are two experts at making a

a spectacle in front of a crowd nobody

better I mean they're the most

experienced spectacle making put it on

the show and it's funny that when it was

over Trump you know looked at the media

and said you it was good

TV so I think a lot of people are

confusing the show with anything that

matters in the real world and I think

the show was really fun and probably in

the end none of it will matter in the

real world one way or another it won't

really matter so here's what we

got it looked a lot like an episode of

The Apprentice didn't it where zalinski

was you know basically getting fired by

Trump

and kicked out of the White House it was

just like The Apprentice you're fired

get out of

here so anyway um what Bannon was saying

and some others have said I don't know

the details but apparently zalinsky was

getting some

advice from other Senators some are

calling them

rhinos um and I guess he had a breakfast

that day with some rhinos and there's a

indication that maybe Susan Rice was

advising him which some would say would

be a violation of the Logan act where

you're not supposed to be negotiating

for the United States unless you're in

the government and they're not so maybe

he got bad advice it it sort of looked

like he was a little emboldened like he

could push Trump a little bit but that

didn't work

out um so I guess the big problem is

that zensi agreed to this mineral deal

which seems like it was you know part of

a larger package which we don't know

about yet but then he gets there and he

says he he doesn't necessarily want a

ceasefire he wants a security deal and

that wasn't part of the

deal so he made the mistake of trying to

negotiate with Trump and JD Vance while

indicating to them and to the world

right in front of them that maybe they

didn't understand the risk of of

Putin now how do you think that went

over didn't go over well

so JD Vance goes first and you know

starts dressing him down in public for

not being um thankful

enough and trying to come to the White

House and being a little bit of a jerk

he didn't use that those words but once

JD Vance lit into him you knew that

Trump would have to double it which he

did and by the way Trump is the best

talkover debater I've ever heard

he can talk over somebody as long as it

takes until they just give

up and that's what happened he and

zinsky tried to talk over each other and

Trump just wasn't going to lose that now

I'm going to keep talking until you shut

up and he just talked over him and you

didn't hear anything that zalinsky said

for like you know two minutes in a row

and finally zalinsky just gave up

because you couldn't even hear what he

was saying and then Trump went on and

and that's what happened anyway

when uh zinsky said that you know Trump

might feel different or feel differently

when uh Putin crosses the ocean someday

and comes for them and Trump says don't

tell me what I'm going to feel you don't

have the right to tell me what I feel

you have no cards no cards so basically

it looked like zilinski was criticizing

Vance and Trump for either not doing

enough or not understanding the real

threat with Putin that you can't appease

him he's just going to come for you

eventually

um

but so he kicks zalinsky out and you

know I thought there was some chance he

might come back that same day but it

didn't happen he's already going off to

Great Britain zilinsky has now I'm going

to I'm going to judge this whole event

on at least two Dimensions Dimension

number one enter entertainment oh my God

it was entertaining it was wonderful I I

felt proud to be an American and have my

president not take in the in the

oval well in the way house I just like

that Vance and Trump weren't putting up

with it that's exactly what I wanted to

see so entertainment it was a 10 I

replayed it multiple times it was just

fun every

time but here's the thing you need to

know uh in big deals like this whether

it's a merger or any kind of really big

deal it's pretty common for one of them

to walk

away and it's pretty common if they both

want the deal and there's a deal to be

had and it's a good deal that they'll

probably come back the the one thing

that people say about Trump that's meant

to be an insult is that he's

transactional meaning that he would

immediately get over his feelings if you

know there was a deal because he'd

rather have the deal than anything else

so uh the funny

part or even lindsy Graham agree cited

with uh Trump now lindsy Graham is a

sort of a famous Ukraine war hawk has

been supporting Crane's getting weapons

everything but even Lindsey Graham said

uh you know that he was a strong

advocate for zinsky in Ukraine and but

he said he's devastated by zelinsky's

behavior and that undo all the hard work

of recent years and He suggests that

Ukrainian people find a new leader and

he praised Trump for standing up to

him

so that's that's interesting but uh

remember I told you that well James

garville told you and then I told you

what James Carville said that the the

Democrat strategy now is the way for

Trump to make a mistake because they

don't have anything to add so literally

they're they're going to wait for Trump

to make mistakes and then they can

attack him so so that means that they're

going to Define everything that Trump

does as a

mistake not really different than the

past but they're not going to put up

with anything he does at all they're

going to say well there it is that's

chaos that's the end of the world every

sing he walked across the lawn well look

at how he walked across the lawn with

that chaos legs and you know all that um

but the funny part is watching the

theater kids on the Democrats because

they have to pretend that they uh that

they don't understand the situation and

that they feel really bad so they all

put on their disgust face you need to

look at the uh there's some some

compilations of people on MSNBC

pretending to be very sad about this

event and they'll have

the oh oh oh face oh oh I'm so sad oh my

my country got

embarrassed and and they're competing to

see who could do the most theater kid

thing and it's so unserious that's

ridiculous um let's see was it David

Axelrod he goes in a post and X he says

I love my country with all my heart and

I've never been more embarrassed for

America than a spectacle I just

witnessed in the Oval

Office

really this is one of the guys who

supported Joe Biden through four years

of obvious demen

and then we all found out that they all

knew it and they were all covering it up

and that was not more

embarrassing what is it that makes you

embarrassed David axon it makes you

embarrassed when the president of the

United States stands up to uh some piss

an in the White House who's challenging

him that that's what embarrasses you but

keeping a mentally you know mentally

deficient president in the office well

nobody knew who was in charge lying to

the world and then getting caught

because he does the uh he does the

debate and it became obvious that he

wasn't there none of that was

embarrassing nothing but this yeah no

none of this is real meaning that the

Democrats are pretending to be terribly

upset are they terribly upset

no no nobody's terribly upset nobody's

really embarrassed nobody's shamed by it

I I think we'll survive the shame I

think we'll survive

it

anyway in my opinion

um Putin probably should not increase

his military attacks he probably he

doesn't want to you know do a ceasefire

unilaterally

unilaterally but if Putin is smart he's

already got a little bit of a

win so he should just play it really

cool and still look for some some way to

end the war I think you

will um but as long as this deal ever

made sense and I'm not sure it did

because I don't know the deal but if the

deal ever made sense and zilinski ever

liked it just the mineral part um they

it'll get done I mean it might take a

while or whatever but if they both want

it you the fact that they had a little

dust up in the in the White House it

won't stop anything now let me put this

back in the context of the the reality

TV

stars If This Were a reality TV

show how would it end it would almost

certainly end with the two

combatants three if you count JD Vance

um doing another public

event because you would have to tune in

you'd be like oh my God it's going to

happen again it's going to happen again

it would be must

CV but this time maybe they just signed

the

deal so I don't think you can discount

that you have two individuals who

operate at the highest level of

understanding the

show the show it's part of politics you

got to put on a show and the fact that

they put on a tremendous show everybody

was entertained even if you were

embarrassed oh oh oh I'm so embarrassed

for my country even then you probably

enjoyed it so yeah if I had to predict I

would say if it was ever a good deal and

that's a big if because I don't know I

don't know that was a good deal but if

they both liked it at one

point it'll get done and it'll be

another reality TV biggest ratings for a

for a political event of all

time uh no no real lasting problem if I

had to guess there's no lasting no

lasting impact on the real world the

deal will be the deal if they like it uh

there'll be a deal with Russia or not

but none of this will matter matter it's

not going to make a

difference uh one of the things Trump

said was uh that that that Trump and

Putin went through a lot together with

the Russia collusion

hoax so people said my god do you love

Putin or what why are you saying that

you went through a lot together well let

me explain this um Putin is trying to

flatter

and um let's say pace Trump and he's

doing a good job Trump is trying to

flatter and pace and tell him he's a

friend to Putin and he's doing a good

job both of them are operating at the

highest level of persuasion both of them

are right on point and and let me say it

again Trump is the best when it comes to

this but Putin's in the same weight

class right it's it's not a completely

unfair fight uh they both have the

skills all the way down so what we're

watching is that there might be some you

know larger deal that Trump wants to do

with uh Russia we don't know what that

is yet but it's funny that we talk about

Russia as our enemy when China Mexico

and Canada are poisoning us with

fentanyl and Russia isn't Russia is just

trying to sell US

Energy now I get I get that he has

Imperial Ambitions he wants to uh

conquer some of those countries um and

maybe all of Europe for the greater good

of I don't know uh who knows what he

really wants we just assume we know what

he

wants uh how about Ukraine who who's

been a bigger pain in the ass to us

lately Ukraine or

Russia well our money is going to

Ukraine and it's dividing the country um

so it it's hard to talk about it without

being called a Putin lover because

that's what all the dumb people do you

you know Democrats if you say anything

they don't like they call you a racist

and a bigot it's just automatic it

doesn't matter what you say um if you

mention Putin in any context other than

we must spend all of our blood and

treasure to destroy the evil Russian

Empire if you say anything but that oh

oh I I see you you want to have oral sex

with Putin is what you're saying oh oh

you love him did you send him a

Valentine's card oh well well you seem

to be a Putin apologist some kind of a

Putin puppet

apologist so it's just the latest stupid

Democrat thing to say it it's so unored

from any adult anything so Sean Davis

say uh uh wait till

Democrats W Democrats are other people

too I guess wa till they find out who we

partnered with in World War

II Stalin

so um the PE the dumb people the people

who I I don't know they just don't have

good arguments that their their argument

is that the only people we should be

nice to are other democracies like

Europe and that if somebody's a dictator

we shouldn't be nice to them or work

with them or do deals with them but I

live in the real

world dictators exist if they didn't

exist well that' be great advice

but they exist and they have access to

huge amounts of energy which matters and

they have lots of weapons which

matters and uh sometimes we have you

know things we disagree with and

sometimes we agree so if you can't work

with dictators and democracies you're

you're just a crippled government you

would be a government that just can't do

anything because there's so many

dictators if you only were nice to

democracies you know and by the way the

democracies we're talking about are the

ones trying to censor

Americans through the social media

networks um I don't know that Trump is

ever I don't know that Putin has ever

tried to censor me what what problems

has has Putin caused for

me but Europe has caused some really

damn problems um I'm I still blame the

UK for whatever happened with that

Russia collusion thing because there

were just too many British people

involved in that whole deal uh so I

don't know I would say maybe our maybe

our friends are kind of a problem too

you know not as big a problem as you

know maybe Russia if you want to if you

want to rank it but there's nobody here

who's

innocent at

all all right

so here's the uh here's the thing that

uh wonder about if the if the only way

that Ukraine were going to be

protected from any further Onslaught by

Russia if the only thing that would be

protecting them is America's

contribution and weapons and stuff and

and then Europe's um does Trump's idea

of just doing a mineral deal with no

security

guarantees does that does that mean that

you basically were giving away Ukraine

and it's not ours to give away although

you could argue that we did overthrow

Ukraine and install a puppet and maybe

it was ours at one point and maybe we

maybe we do kind of own it we do kind of

own it which is pretending we

don't

so anyway

um how how does it

work that Putin would not attack Ukraine

because we did a mineral deal with

Ukraine if we didn't have military

assets there um is it just the risk that

we would turn on the flow of money and

and fund Ukraine with better weapons see

Trump has made the claim that there

wouldn't have been a war if he had been

president but he also makes the claim

that if he makes a peace it will hold

again because of the force of his

personality and whatever relation

he's created with Putin do you believe

that do you believe that if Trump is

President he could do a he could do an

adequate um risk assessment and

threat so that Putin would say you know

what this is really not the time to get

adventurous because we're sort of

getting along and I don't really need to

own

Poland and all right but what happens

when Trump leaves

what if Trump leaves

office is is Putin going to be held in

check because he either respects the new

president or he fears the

consequences I know so I do think that

Trump needs to do a better job of

explaining what it looks like and and

why anything that we're involved in

would keep Putin from taking the rest of

Ukraine the moment it's underfunded

now you might say Scott it'll never be

underfunded because Europe can just step

up and if they want it's completely up

to them they can put a massive amount of

money in there to replace whatever money

we were giving and everybody's good now

that would be okay with

me if if Europe wants to be paying

nearly all of it and we're just out from

the funding perspective but you know

maybe we sell weapons to Europe to give

to them or something that would be fine

I wouldn't have any problems with

that well a Million Dead Russians um

that is a domestic problem for Putin but

it's not like he's going to you know be

kicked out of office he's pretty

secure all right so fed Zakaria on real

time so let me just finish that point I

think Trump needs to do a better job of

describing what the future of Ukraine

looks

like if the only security guarantees are

no security guarantees we're just doing

a big deal with you and so Russia

wouldn't dare attack your country when

we have major assets

there is that the whole game or or is

there something we don't know about yet

but that part is the important part now

I told you before that the real secret

of this negotiation is it can't be just

about Ukraine and Russia it's got to be

about more comprehensive how do we deal

with Russia in the

future um you know on all levels

militarily energy-wise economically are

we increasing NATO or not so that stuff

hasn't been discussed yet and I I've

heard people say oh Putin's the big

winner to which I say how do you know

that how do we know anything we don't

know what any kind of deal would look

like is Putin the big winner and then I

say if if two countries are at War and

they don't want to be at War and the

people are paying for it don't want to

be paying for it and then somehow Trump

can make all that stop who's not better

off isn't Ukraine better off not being

in a war are we better off not paying

isn't Putin better off you know

consolidating his gains

so a good agreement would be good for

everybody relative to the Alternatives

which are

ugly here's what freed Zakaria said on

real time last night um he basically

jokingly said that the zelinsky's

mistake is that he should have gone in

there and said Mr President Trump I'm

paraphrasing uh you've been such a God

send to Ukraine you're the greatest we

want to give you the highest Ukrainian

civil award

and maybe build a statue to I'm

paraphrasing a little bit but the idea

was fored said he didn't he didn't play

to Trump's ego and that's what went

wrong to which I

say what kind of an analysis is that the

deal was already

done all zinsky had to do was sign

it that's it he didn't need to do any

flattering there was no flattering

requested no flattering given and they

had to

deal so I would say that maybe he didn't

have to offer anything because they

already had a deal so that's sort of a

dumb

analysis speaking of dumb analysis The

Wall Street Journal editorial board I

swear that their editorial board it read

like a high school essay I I I just read

it and I thought

what what is wrong with you um so they

headlin for their edit editorial on this

is Putin wins the Trump zalinsky Oval

Office

spectacle is that really the way to

frame this that Putin won now we know

that Putin liked it and the Russians

thought it was great entertainment but

so did I why don't they say uh and the

mega people won because they really

enjoyed it so Putin enjoyed it and we

enjoyed it what will be

different I I can't think of anything I

don't think it'll really affect the real

world I don't think it'll change what

would have been their funding because

Trump wanted to get out of that anyway

and I don't think it'll affect

anything so but that they think somebody

won that's just the worst way to look at

a three-way negotiation four-way if you

count Europe and I guess you

should and uh they said uh that Vance JD

Vance started the public fight

okay how many times do I have to read

some dumbass in the news not

understanding who starts a fight if I

hear one more person tell me that Russia

started the war in Ukraine without any

reference to the things that happened

before he crossed the border as in you

know the NATO expansion and blah blah

blah it if none of that's mentioned

you're not really a serious person and

the Wall Street Journal

editorial go does the same thing with JD

Vance do do you think JD Vance should

just sat there and let that little punk

uh in the white house while they're

trying to help do you think they should

let him lecture them on how they don't

understand negotiations and they don't

understand Putin and he's going to come

for them over the ocean and that this

deal isn't really good and you haven't

really done much for us you've just

weakened Us in fact

did so who started the

fight I don't think JD Vance started the

fight I think he was quick he was quick

to enter it but then once he entered it

Trump had to double it so then Trump did

his thing because there's no way that

Trump is going to let JD Vance be the

baddest mofo in the room that just isn't

going to happen so JD Vance goes in as a

really bad mofo like quite impressive I

must say that he took him on directly

and uh even from a position of number

two number well maybe number three if he

count Secretary of State but uh he

wasn't the one in power but he he just

defended America defended the White

House defended his president

defended um everything so that was quite

baller I have to say I really that that

was a look from JD Vance that will

probably go a long way to making him the

top candidate after

Trump and but like I said there's no way

in any world that Trump is going to let

somebody else be the the baddest mofo in

the room so he had to take it up a

level as he does and it was brilliant it

was brilliant in in the showman way um

and that's all it was it was just a

show all right so

and then also the whole Putin wins just

ignores the fact that we have a much

bigger set of interests with with Russia

and until we know what that looks like

you know what kind of a deal we would

have with Russia until we know what that

looks like you can't really say anybody

won because we don't know what that

looks like but did they imagine that

Trump was just going to give Russia

everything he

wanted doesn't sound like

Trump Joy bear uh

accused Elon Musk of supporting

apartheid when musk grew up in South

Africa now he did not there's no there's

no there's no evidence of that

whatsoever but here's what she said Joy

bear on The View uh the guy was not born

in this country okay

oh oh oh oh oh my God she she abandons

the most core Democrat

principle that if you if you decide to

live in this country you call yourself

an American you act like an American

you're an American citizen and you're

doing more for America than just about

any other

Citizen and she has to start with you're

not an American or you're not born in

this

country that that's basically throwing

away their most basic principle just to

get a dig at Elon Musk then she goes on

uh so he has this mentality going on

does he because she's reading his mind

right he was Pro aparti now there's no

evidence that uh as I understand it he

told her then after uh uh then there was

a break and I guess she got her ass

kicked by the management because there's

no evidence that he's ever been

pro-apartheid and if you call somebody

Pro apartheid like it's a fact and you

do it on television in our current

environment that's a $25 million

mistake so they were

probably 10 seconds away from losing $25

million to dumb old joy bayar for just

making up just making

up uh and then then here's how she uh

responded to it once once she'd been

corrected and they came back I'm getting

some Flack because I said that musk was

pro- aparti I don't really know for sure

if he was

imagine saying that when you didn't know

for sure God uh and then she goes he

grew up at that time when athe party was

in full bloom before the great Nelson

menzela fixed that he was around at that

time

what like she's trying to still be right

even though there's no evidence

whatsoever and she's trying to make they

well he was around during that time so

QED

oh my

God and

then then she goes on maybe he was maybe

he

wasn't is that how you treat an American

citizen that well you know I don't know

if he's a Nazi maybe he was maybe he

wasn't I don't know it's sort of

ambiguous seems like he hung around with

people who had bad opinions even you

know maybe not personally but he was in

the same country with people had bad

opinions so you can't ignore the fact

that he was in the same country with

people who had bad

opinions yeah you

can so this just terrible I can't

believe she still has a

job um then Elon Musk went on Joe Rogan

you may have seen it and he was talking

about that they were doing to him

meaning the Democrats doing to Elon Musk

what they did to Trump which is the the

Hitler

play and and he says directly

they're basically trying to get me

killed by comparing me to Hiller and

that's exactly what they're trying to do

that's exactly what they're trying to do

so unbelievable it it's we're so

lucky that musk is still willing to help

the United States when the United States

is acting like it doesn't deserve

it uh that takes a lot of character to

still be Allin on the United States when

when half of the United States is

calling him a

Nazi that takes

character well the Wall Street Journal

has an article by Joanne

Lipman can white men finally stop

complaining and these the subtitle of

the article this is a Wall Street

Journal and for 50 years we've been

hearing from white men who feel

threatened by the gains of women and

minorities no you stupid we're not

complaining because we feel threatened

we're being we're complaining because

for 50 years we've been overtly

discriminated against for being straight

white men we you can't get a job you

can't get a contract for 50

years and the reason that you didn't

know how bad it was is because white men

are not allowed to talk like you saying

can white men finally stop complaining

that's right we were trained that if we

even complained for a minute it meant we

were bigots

that's over people like me gave up

everything so that we could say what we

were

feeling I gave up everything I'm going

to say what I'm feeling you're a piece

of and you're the problem and is

this is pure racial discrimination and

bigotry against white men and I won't

have it and I think that we've grown

this I I think that we can just say

you don't care move on get rid of your

stupid Dei get rid of your stupid ESG

and let's try to compete on Merit for

once how about

that piece of

anyway speaking

of so uh the hill says that K Harris is

hasn't decided to run for governor of

California here's the funny thing so

because she hasn't decided the the other

candidates can't really wait in and they

can't really get any money because

everybody thinks she would be the front

runner if she gets in so she's really

Frozen the entire California Democrat

Party they they can't kind of do

anything they're just

Frozen now here's the funny part correct

me if I'm wrong but K Laris destroyed

the entire uh Federal n let say National

Democratic party didn't

she don't you think it was mostly Comm

Harris that just destroyed Democrats

because she was the ultimate

Dei uh

candidate and they just took Dei to the

ultimate conclusion and everything broke

just like you would imagine it would on

paper and now she's taking that same

toxic destructive thing and she's taking

it to California now she's going to ruin

democrat's chance of winning maybe

Forever by running for governor now she

might actually even win which is the

weird part because you know we're such a

blue state but the fact that she's

destroying the Democrat Party nationally

and then started destroying it in the

biggest

state boy she's got a she's got

something to put on her Wikipedia page

right

there anyway good for you kamla you're

almost done destroying everything about

the

Democrats well Secretary of Defense Heth

has confirmed that Trump Has Lifted

restrictions on Military raids and air

strikes now that doesn't mean all

restrictions but uh they won't have to

get approval so much so I think this is

just taking it back to where it was in

the first

Administration and I do believe the

reporting is that the military became a

lot more

effective because they didn't have to

ask so much for permission and that

makes a big difference so that's a good

move probably speaking of Democrats uh

in New York City former Governor Andrew

Cuomo is getting ready people think to

run for mayor of New York

City now how bad is the pool of

Democrats that Andrew Cuomo who had

scandals involve sexual harassment which

he resigned rather than you know go

through I suppose it could have gotten

worse if he didn't resign and and then

he also had the scandal of the

unreported deaths in the co nursing

homes can he overcome with sexual

harassment claims if you're a Democrat

if you're a Democrat male can you get

elected if you've got these credible

sounding claims I I'll say sounding

because I'm not the one who believes

claims are real uh just automatically

they might be anything's possible but I

don't know I wasn't there so I'm I'm

just going to say there are claims

that's the only thing I know so but do

you think that the Democrats

can get the you know the white guy

straight white guy who's got claims of

sexual harassment can they really elect

him in today's environment I don't know

but it's hilarious to me that he might

be their best shot I will say that um

that Cuomo probably is the best talker

they have uh we'll talk about fedman in

a minute but Andrew Cuomo he just has

that U leadership Charisma

voice thing going on so he can act like

he's a leader and he he can pull that

off so he does have the chops I mean he

was governor right so we know he has the

chops I don't know but I don't know if

he can get over these

scandals well meanwhile Bill Maher on

his show said that um the best candidate

for president who was a Democrat would

be fedman and his argument was that

fedman talks like a normal guy and even

Trump said he's a common sense guy and

uh he has authenticity and Charisma and

balls I was trying to imagine a

president Federman having a meeting with

zalinski on a casual

Friday that would be the that would be

the sloppiest looking meeting you ever

saw in your

life seninsky would be the well-dressed

one in that

case well I'm going to agree with Bill

Maher that fedman is the only one I see

on their party who in my opinion could

make a serious play for the presidency

now you know he may have other problems

that we don't know about you know maybe

maybe if you run for president they

bring out the big guns and the the

reports of things that we haven't heard

before so anything could happen but I I

have to completely agree with Mar on

this that if you just looking at the

vibe he puts off and how he connects

with ordinary people uh on top of having

you know ivy league degree and some

government experience um he he would be

one to beat I think he would be one to

beat uh there's a public interest law

firm I didn't get the name of it that's

filing a civil rights

complaint uh against New York and

Wisconsin on behalf of contractors so I

guess if you're Contracting with the

government in those two places um New

York and Wisconsin if you don't hit the

just right approval of diversity so if

your if your firm doesn't have you know

just the ideal diversity you can't get

the

job and one of the contractors said this

multiple times a day we lose orders

because we're not a minority business uh

the source uh who supplies contractors

for the government infrastructure

projects requested anonymity because of

fear of

reprisals so there's a white man who

can't even talk in public with his own

name can't even talk in public with his

own name when he's complaining about

being discriminated

against and the and the case for him

being discriminated against against is

not even controversial it's it well it's

controversial but it's not in question

there's nobody who says oh yes you must

be bad at what you do uh you can get as

many contracts as you want why are you

white men complaining now everybody

knows that you can't get contracts

unless you have some you know golden

ratio of diversity and male and female

so there's lawsuits coming good I hope

the lawsuits are successful

meanwhile the White House said that 29

Mexican cartel

members uh and one of them is like

described as the most evil cartel boss

one of the evil ones are being

extradited to the United States

29 that's a

lot if they're really bosses I mean if

they're just people it's not a lot but

if they're all kind of bosses no I guess

some of them are just members and

there's one at least one's a boss

um but here's my question we all suspect

that the Mexican government has some

kind of arrangement with the cartels but

at the same time they have to pretend

that they

don't so do you think that these 29

Mexican cartel

members are just went through the legal

system in Mexico and and it's all

perfectly copasetic or is it slightly

more possible that a competing cartel

said you know you could get rid of 29

people for us you know they're they're

they're in our territory and we'd like

to get our territory back so why don't

you pretend you're working with the

United States productively but really

just get rid of our competition and

we'll bribe you to do that how would we

know if that were happening see every

time there's a cartel person that Mexico

gives up you know they capture them and

give up I always wonder if they're just

working for the other cartel you know

they got better bribed by the other

cartel I have a real problem thinking

that the that what's happening is that

Mexico is doing its level best to battle

the cartels with the United States help

it doesn't feel like I live in the world

where things are that clean so I guess

I'll be skeptical about these cartel

members meanwhile all the boxes from

maralago remember box gate and the

accusations that Trump had taken with

him nuclear secrets and just stored them

in the

bathroom at Mar

Lago well apparently they weren't that

sensitive because they've all been

returned so the charges dropped and and

100% of what he had is being

returned now to be fair uh Trump could

have just Declassified him because he's

the president again so he certainly

would have the ability to declassify

them but do you you think you would have

Declassified nuclear

secrets no no do you think he said I'm

president so I'm going to declassify

this how to make a nuclear bomb and I'm

just going to keep it in the bathroom

and Mar Lago in a box

no so do we have do you feel that we can

confirm at this

point that that was all fake I think we

can right that was pure lawfare pure

fake because otherwise they wouldn't

give it all back if they give 90% of it

back then I would have said yeah maybe

there was something to it maybe they did

have some secrets in those boxes but if

they give it all

back I have a real tough time believing

it was ever a

problem anyway the

uh according to new Atlas two beers a

day shrinks your brain as much as a

decade of

Aging so if you have four beers a

day you beat age 20

years uh alcohol is poison I've got lots

of stories about this I don't need to go

any

deeper according the Trump

Administration according to the National

pulse has uh removed 50,000 migrants so

far most of them ones who had legal

troubles does that sound like a good

number do do you feel like you're

getting your money's worth from Tom

homman 50,000 in 2 months well last

month and a half right 50,000 if they're

the 50,000 worst or they're among the

among the worst that's a really big

deal because this might represent a

reduction of violent crime of like 50 to

100,000 per year because these were the

worst of the

worst and if you get rid of the worst of

the worst you know the violent ones and

the Dangerous Ones it feels like that's

a whole lot of crime that's been reduced

that seems like a big number to

me do you remember the big hoax in

Canada where there was some claim that

there were over 200 um I guess it I

don't know what you call them in in

Canada but is it First Nations they have

a different term for the indigenous

population before the before the other

Canadians moved in so in America it

would be the Native Americans I don't

know what they call them in Canada but

anyway the thought was that there was

some kind of uh

indigenous Mass Graves that would be

suggesting that the Canadians of not too

long ago were just murdering them and

putting them in a mass grave so there

were big protests there was a giant

thing it was a big story and and Trudeau

put together this uh Committee of

experts to go look for any more because

I thought oh man this this might not

even be alone there might be other Mass

Graves and so so they looked and they

looked and they looked guess how many

they

found well none and they just disbanded

the entire committee the entire thing

was a hoax there was never any Mass

grave in that

category and even after looking for it

really hard didn't find any so that's a

that's Canada's fine people hoax

basically apparently according to a

publication called the new Arab uh the

us is going to pitch to a bunch of Arab

real estate developers Trump's Gaza

plan so that's going to come up

um so the US will convene a summit with

Regional Real Estate developers that

seems like a productive

thing now you could disagree whether

that should be developed or who should

own and all that but I kind of like the

fact that the conversation is about

who's going to develop it cuz that feels

like you know it's a little optimism a

little little potential for the

future um I don't know that it'll be

it'll be uh you know optimized and then

people will move back but we'll see but

it's good that they're having

that did you know according to S poost

Eric Dolan's writing that AI can spot

depression of old people through their

driving

habits don't all all old people drive

exactly the

same I don't know how you could tell

which ones are which ones are depressed

but oh it is called the First Nations

yes thank

you all right um so anyway that's

happening and that's all I had today um

so after the show Fairly soon now uh

Owen Gregorian will be hosting a spaces

event on

a and that will be

uh um for anybody who wants to talk

about this stuff or more I know you got

lots more to say about zalinski by the

way how many ways are there to spell

zalinski I've seen it with z l e z l i

and sometimes with one y at the end

sometimes with two and AI doesn't help

me because it just goes back and

forth so I don't know what's going on

with that anyway so join uh Owen

Gregorian and spaces you could just

Google him and you'll find his account

and you'll see I I also reposted the the

announcement so you can find the link

there and thanks for joining everybody

I'm going to say a few words to the

locals people privately but the rest of
