Episode 2767 CWSA 03/03/25

let me finish just robing only the sweater only the sweater well looks like the stock market's kind of flat but bitcoin's up about 6% makes sense Let's uh get your comments going and we'll have a show a show of shows there we go good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cuper Mugger a glass a tanker chal Stein a canteen jug a flask a vessel of any kind fill with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine today the day the thing that makes everything better simultaneous up happens now go perfect oh thanks Paul success all right well I'm going to start with a quote from zuie those of you on Aus probably know who zuie is uh uh and there's some context to his post but it's funnier without the context he says subie says I think the idea of having your own Island and inviting people to it has been ruined forever I've been laughing about that all morning yeah yeah I think having your own Island and inviting people to it it's not looking like the best idea anymore used to be something I wanted to do well how many of you watch the Oscars just kidding how can anybody watch that crap it was just pure garbage I I tried watching it for 10 seconds I was like what the hell what am I saying but uh apparently according to end wokeness uh on a the uh the academy has some kind of Oscar rules that require diversity quotas around El you can't be the best picture so if you don't have the right mix of people you you can't win best picture so one of the movies that was at least a fan favorite was a movie Reagan which is about Ronald Reagan now don't you think the Ronald Reagan movie if it were historically accurate it's not going to look like Roots am I right I mean it seems like if you're doing a historically accurate movie you kind of have to use the people who were actually there but not in uh not in the Oscar rules the the stupidity of this and the pure absurdity of requiring Dei representation on a Reagan movie is hilarious what what would they do if they remade Roots would they say well have to put a lot of these sleeves are going to have to be bisexual or something I don't know I don't know how they handle that that's not my problem nobody cared about it meanwhile in Germany a car attacks some people yeah a car attacks some people I read the headlines and uh it was a car that damn car you know you can't trust cars in Germany in America you can maybe trust them a little bit more but even here it's kind of tough no cars will sometimes just turn on people and attack them wait what oh there was a person driving a person well that wasn't in the headline I thought it was just the car attacked H well all right I'm not interested in that story um because that's the whole story some some terrorist in a car I assume I assume it was some terrorist uh drove into a crowded people again so maybe maybe a little more border control would be good for Germany according to Tech spot Rob thubron is writing that that there's a factory that's going to be built that will make humanoid robots but uh after a little uh process they'll have the robots making other robots so the the Holy Grail of robots is that the robots make the other robots and that really does change everything because the cost of robots will go down Etc and then doesn't seem obvious to you that the the Tesla robot you know Optimist whenever it comes out does it seem obvious to you that whenever musk puts a rocket on Mars you know with a heavy payload because you know his Rockets can handle a lot of merchandise don't you think he's going to have multiple robots and the robots are going to set up some kind of a base station and try to figure out how to generate um oxygen you if they can power themselves and they've got lots of spare parts then if one of the robots breaks the other robots can go fix it with the spare parts and they can be up there like toiling for years so that the next time you land a rocket on Mars you've got a whole like Colony it's got oxygen and somehow protected from the elements I don't know how you do that but uh so it does make me wonder if this is the beginning of something big robots making robots um so Trump is his usual uh showman and he's announced that uh he's going to have a crypto Reserve so he's got some interesting teases today so he's going to have a crypto Reserve in the government and it would include the obvious Bitcoin and ethernet but also xrp and so and Ada and I don't know anything about those um but here's the thing you should know that's probably the only way America can survive if you think well this is sort of unnecessary and you know why does he need to be so interested in crypto it's because you're missing something big it's unlikely that we'll be able to pay off $35 trillion but we will be able to inflate it until it's not worth that much the only thing that'll have value at some point will be crypto so crypto will go up if it's the right kind this doesn't apply to every crypto but Bitcoin is you know artificially limited by I guess the math of it so the value of a Bitcoin will just keep going up so I don't make recommendations for your Investments that's not my role and I'm bad at it but I do say you should diversify so diversification is the only financial recommendation I make because that's the one everybody agrees with that there's nobody in the world who disagrees with diversifying so you should at least do your own research and see if owning some Bitcoin or ethernet maybe uh I don't know as much about ethernet but uh not ether what is it ethereum not ethernet ethereum um sorry I said ethernet instead of ethereum so I would look into it so my own strategy is I own some just in case but it's not a big part of my portfolio at some point it might be all of it just because it increases in value um so that's going to come then uh the CEO of Bank of America says that as soon as it's legal to launch a stable coin he's going to do it now a stable coin would be a crypto uh that is pegged to the dollar so if you want to buy something your your stable coin which whichever one you create would have the same value as the dollar and it would just always stay the same but I'm not sure I'd want one of those I mean maybe it's good for some transactions but if it decreases in value as the dollar deflates you know with inflation I don't know that I'd ever want to hold a stable coin seems like the opposite of good financial management but maybe I'm missing something again don't take my advice for anything Financial um I guess tomorrow is it tomorrow or today that doge is going to give the first initial findings about the Department of Defense now remember when Elon Musk was on Joe Rogan and he said that if anybody really knew the degree of corruption uh If he if he said it he couldn't even he couldn't even say the source of the corruption he he would be murdered and he's not joking I mean he's not joking he does mean that and he would be close enough to reality to know that that's true so uh the real dangerous one the most dangerous is the Department of Defense now think about this the Department of Defense has never passed an audit and the the NOS um are like a just a black box when money goes to an NGO nobody knows what happened and it there's no aiting there's no uh anything it basically just goes into people's pockets a lot of it and then some of it gets used so they can say oh yeah we we help some poor people but I think maybe sometimes most of it or a lot of it just goes into these fake jobs it's like oh my spouse is a consultant she she earns a million dollars a year so let's put her on this NGO and you wouldn't know there would be no reporting this somebody put their own wife on an NGO and cashed her out for a million dollars a year so I assume that's happening in a massive way because it' be such an easy fraud to do and it wouldn't even be fraud because if she really did a little bit of Consulting what are you going to do she's just overpaid so it's sort of the perfect crime um apparently Trump is going to make some kind of investment announcement at 1:30 eastern time today what do you think that will be I love how he teases it he doesn't tell you what it's going to be he just teases it do you think is Tik Tock I think Tik Tock is a good guess maybe it's Greenland I don't know maybe maybe it's the mineral deal with Ukraine maybe they've done some talking behind the scenes I don't know maybe it's a Russian mineral deal I don't know so I'd love to know maybe it's I know Gaza or something so there are a lot of things that could be he's just great and making us wait he he's such a showman I kind of love it and hate it at the same time because I want to know the answer but I love the fact that he teases us it's kind of fun um and then he said I think this is separate he said that tomorrow night will be big uh I will tell it like it is so I guess that's when he gives his talk to Congress is that what that is so he's going to tell it like it is what do you think that will include it sounds like he's going to break news do you think he's going to say we should pull out a NATO and the UN because you know he doesn't like to be outdone when it comes to bold action and now that Elon Musk has said publicly we should get out of NATO and also get out of the UN How Will trump not go further it's his nature to not be the not be the most timid one in any situation so it's almost like he has to kind of top that so I don't know you might make some decisions about NATO and the UN we'll say I'm having trouble forming an opinion about those um obviously it's more America First for us not to be defending Europe when Europe's trying to take away our free speech so there's that um but uh I don't know enough to know if there's any way it helps us be safer it doesn't feel like Russia is going to invade one of the you know standard European countries that they've never had an interest in in the past you they might do a little more adventurousness where where there are Russians speaking people uh maybe more than that but uh I don't see them going after a NATO country even if we're not part of it because they Russia wouldn't know that we wouldn't want to get involved and if there's another president might want to just sign up again in NATO so that'll be fun meanwhile Democrats are trying to figure out how to be more like Republicans and that's their strategy so according to uh reports a New York Post is reporting that a group of moderate Democrats had a little uh gathering in Virginia last month and they were trying to figure out how to make the Democrats more competitive guess what they decided that the way to make the Democrats more competitive is to stop saying dumb dumb Democrat stuff and basically say what the Republicans are saying so listen to these actual ideas uh Democrats focused too much on America's flaws like racism sexism inequality without acknowledging the country's progress and potential what does that sound like that's a republican um Embrace patriotism community and traditional American imagery what's that sound like Republican avoid overly moralistic and condescending messaging speak plainly and directly what's that sound like Republican and then own the failures of the democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government well if all they're doing is acknowledging that the that those cities are a mess it's just like Republicans so here's what the Democrats get wrong Trump as far as I can tell is authentic meaning I'm not aware of anything Trump has ever suggested or done an executive order on that wasn't right in the middle of his historical opinion about things so he's never liked regulation so he's cutting regulation he's never liked taxes so he's trying to cut taxes and he's never liked War so he's trying to get in a war but when I look at the Democrats they're literally theater kids and they're trying to figure out how to pretend pretend to be Republicans so they can win elections it's so obvious that they don't feel these things because they're not saying be authentic and just say what you mean because they know that just crazy would come out it's like oh got intersectionality we got more Dei everybody's a racist so they they can't do that so they have to literally pretend that the last 20 years didn't happen and they never meant any of that in the first place isn't it funny that their strategy is to reject everything they told you was critical and the most important thing in the world for 20 years because they know they can't win in that and that's the only reason they're going to they're going to change now do you think that somebody could run against a republican who's got a track record of believing Republican things and always has versus the theater kids pretending to me oh I love America now look at my flag I put a flag on my car oh now that's completely different did you notice the flag on my car I don't think they can pull it off even the theater kids anyway meanwhile on the same topic Governor Nome is going to is starting to clear the flamable brush from California Forest um and as you know Trump had told them that they should be doing that now he's done it before so it's not like they've never done it but uh New York Post is reporting on this so he tapped into his emergency powers and what he had to do in order to clean up the forests is he had to get rid of regulations okay what's that sound like so he uses his emergency powers to get rid of several regulations there more more than one because they just couldn't do the common sense thing of making the forests you know less susceptible so isn't that just being a a republican like are we not supposed to notice that the only useful things they're doing are directly cribed from the party that they say are Hitler uh yeah you guys are all Hitler but you got a lot of good ideas so you know if you get rid of the Hitler part I like the part about no regulations and cleaning up our forest it it's just it's just crazy stuff anyway that's happening there's now there's a so this would be the opposite this this would be California act Democrats acting like Democrats you won't even believe this one if you haven't already heard this story you're going to think I made it up because this so freaking dumb so there's a bill being introduced so it's not passed it's just a bill that would require homeowners to quote exhaust every reasonable means to escape if bad people break into your house while you're there um so you can't confront them especially with deadly force um or else you'll face homicide charges the post millennial is writing about this Hayden cutting him now can you even believe that's real now it's not real yet because it hasn't been voted on but it's a Democrat plan in a Democrat state so I don't know if there's a good chance of it being passed but can you even imagine what this does it so again it's the don't understand human motivation it's just so consistent if you say you know there's a rich house over there and even if they have a gun they can't use it because they'll go to jail for murder so go ahead and break into that one and uh if they try to escape just let them uh they'll have to run out the door and let you loot it you know at your leisure now of course the first thing I think is how are they going to know you exhausted all your options it if the police arrived and there's three home Invaders bleeding to death on the ground and they're they're already already dead are you going to be able to say well uh are they going to say to you did you exhaust all your options or are you going to say yeah they wouldn't let me leave there was nothing they could do they threatened to kill me I I've exhausted all my options so you're kind of forcing homeowners to lie to protect their own home it's the craziest thing and every time the Democrats come up with a new idea it feels like it's designed to drive Californians out of their houses uh let's raise the taxes on your house what okay I I'm not even sure I'll be able to stay in my house let's give you no insurance you won't be able to buy fire Insurance what everybody can buy fire Insurance NOP not you not in California well but what are the odds of a fire oh really high really high we're going to make sure that we haven't taking care of that now maybe that's changing with with Nome but uh and you know the stores are going to be uh available for people to just take anything they want it it just all seems like it's the same thing it's like Democrats are literally trying to take everything you have and give it to people who have been in the country for a month and it's so consistent it's hard to imagine it's any kind of accident because the theme is just so striking it's so obvious anyway according to the New York Post editorial board uh the Western countries must soon admit it the Paris Accord that's the climate change agreement was a disastrous mistake now of course Trump is pulling out or has pulled out as he did in the first term but Biden put us back in there so here's here's what has been accomplished after trillions of dollars have been sent spent trying to curb greenhouse gases trillions um Global emissions have increased by 6% since the Paris Accord was signed and of course the main reason is that China and India um we're just going nuts and of course the carbon doesn't doesn't respect borders so everybody's got more but here are some of the things that some individual companies did so Germany trying to be as green as possible uh not only tried to phase out its fossil fuels but even shut down all its nuclear reactors because somehow they were convinced that nuclear reactors were not green that's the greenest technology there is ask France it's not like you it's not like France didn't exist which has very robust you know nuclear energy sort of the Envy of other countries I would say it it's not like Germany didn't notice that France was in a much better situation so so they basically crippled themselves so that uh energy is hard to get which means the price will be high which means the things manufacturer will be a higher price but uh it gets worse um well actually the Germans voted for a change in Direction this is also from the New York Post so they've got a new person there they elected Friedrich Ms so he said he's going to prioritize the economy over Waring on carbon so what does that sound like a republican it's just a republican but here's one that blew me away British economic growth has been anemic for years and one of the biggest reasons is because the uh the Industrial and Commercial electric rates in the UK are among the highest in the world it's four times more expensive just energy-wise to make something in the UK just the energy part now of course that's always a big part so how can they even be globally competitive if they've trippled themselves so every single thing they make is going to be wildly overpriced compared to everybody else and they didn't see that coming like nobody could see that coming it was the most obvious thing you could ever imagine that if you used less efficient forms of energy prices go up if you close down other forums you know prices go up and uh so they call them an eon IST you know beor lomor I wouldn't call him a climate change um denier rather he's a you know that even in the worst case scenario it doesn't look like it'd be that bad so he points out that uh uh even if global warming is kind of what you think it is and by the way I don't think he calls himself an economist but the New York posted and he said that uh the difference would be that uh by 2100 your your growth would be 435 per instead of 450% basically you wouldn't even notice the effect of climate change on your economy in between now and 2100 that's a long time long time well in related news and I'd like to say before I start you're taking my CO2 it's my plant food all the plants are going to die die if you try to take the CO2 out of the air all the plants will die don't you understand it's plant food you fool swimming is the best exercise use a French press soil and green as people so those of you who are NPCs you need to say the most obvious thing that you could say after I read this story so Yale announced has some kind of super efficient way to turn um carbon dioxide into usable energy with Incredible efficiency now I won't read you the details but um it's it turns it into something called methanol which could be used as a fuel but I think it also uses a lot of energy to get it done so I don't know if it's in net positive or not but it is interesting that they have they have a way to turn CO2 into a useful fuel right they're going to kill all the plants they're going to take all my CO2 I don't know they'd have to work pretty hard to suck enough out of the a that they could make up for whatever China and India are going to be doing for the next 100 years I think your plant will be okay well data Republican the data analyst who's just making a lot of waves on X um was talking about the NOS on a podcast and I think I heard that there are 55,000 ngos in other words 55,000 entities that directly or indirectly take money from the United States government and have no accountability 55,000 of them if you have any doubt that this is a money laundering operation in addition to it might do some good things but it seems like it's at least half of it is money laundering but also a sort of a parallel government because they can control so much to the NGS uh everything from uh censoring people to um all kinds of probably some lawfare just all kinds of things um so it's a way to control the country but also probably a money laundering thing but uh data Republican says that 7,000 of them are politically connected and ordering 90% of all the taxpayer money meant for nonprofits so apparently there's about 300 billion a year that our government puts into these NGS and with zero transparency so nobody knows where the money goes after it goes there isn't that mindblowing that we don't know like the the Department of Defense has never passed an audit and there might be a trillion dollars missing we don't know and 300 billion a year go into these NOS which have no accountability and just sort of disappears now under those circumstances do you think there's any chance it's not corruption what what else could it be because the most you know everybody would at least have a report of how the money got spend so they could get more next time but apparently their their access to money the NOS is not an any way affected by what they do with the money that answers all the questions if their performance with the last money you gave them doesn't make any difference to how much you get next time that's got to be corruption right what what would be the other way to explain that I can't think of any way it's that's just obvious and Elan mus said that the he said on Joe Rogan that the NOS are among the biggest scams ever now the fact that it's only among the biggest scams it's only among them what the hell else does he know about that we haven't heard yet I think it has to do with the Department of Defense but maybe also fake Social Security and Medicaid payments or something like that so there's probably at least one thing he knows that's even bigger than that wow so don't you feel that at least those of us who follow Doge and we know what's going on which seems to not include any of the Democrats by the way the Democrats are not complaining about any NOS have you heard any Democrats complain about it they say things like oh uh we it's good to cut costs who who would be against waste Fraud and Abuse but Republicans say okay you got to get rid of these NOS because they're not accountable there's no way this is a good idea but the Democrats are just oh no they're fine just let's just uh we'll get rid of the waste Fraud and Abuse how there's no accounting if there's no accounting and no auditing how are you going to get rid of any waste Road and abuse so I I think we can tell it makes me wonder to what extent all the highlevel Democrats know that the NOS are a scam and and they know that that's largely why it's organized that way I feel like all the top ones know it you know certainly the Pelosi Schumer you know Chris Murphy type top Democrats they must all know that amazing um so I guess uh Kier starmer he hosted 20 of his allies to talk about what to do with Ukraine now that the United States had a bad meeting with zinski but um here's something that Trump does all the time that I've talked about a number of times but I don't think I've talked about it once during his second term I talked about it a lot during the first term Trump always finds these weird little situations where he has two ways to win and no way to lose so that's what happened with the the the dust up with zalinski one way to win is that he would slap zalinski back into line and then the deal would be signed and at least during his term probably Putin would you know would pull back now I don't know that that would last forever but Trump would be able to claim victory if he got a good deal and then he you know said look four years and Putin well I guess it' be three three years and Putin has pulled his military back everything's looking good but if that didn't happen and the deal blew up then he can say all right we're getting out of NATO because you guys are basically worthless and it's not good for America if if the zinsky meeting had not gone the way it did could he have sold getting out of NATO now I don't know if he can or we'll try but he can now like that open the door to all right maybe we should rethink this whole situation so he's got two ways to win either gets the deal and three years of no Putin invading you'll look like a hero at least for three years and the other way is that he gets to pull out of NATO save a bunch of money and let Europe defend itself maybe he even gets rid of the US at the same time so I don't know if that might be one of the announcements or the the the hard truths he's he's planning to give when he gives his speech but am I wrong that he found a way to have two ways to win there really wasn't a way to lose he could either win pretty good or he could win huge and it looks like he's leaning toward winning huge but I think zilinsky said well we could still make a deal' now now the the people who are really bad at understanding the world probably thought zinski is never going to agree to the deal to which I said if it was ever a good deal or ever the best deal he could get he'll agree to it if it wasn't a good deal then you won't agree to it but it has nothing to do with the the words they said in the office if it's a good deal everybody does it that's just how deals work it's just transactional well apparently European leader according to Fox News Michael Lei uh they're a little bit on edge because Trump is thinking about they think they think Trump might pull 20,000 troops out of Europe uh the current number flu well the number of US troops in Europe according to Fox News fluctuated between 75,000 and 105,000 now I think Biden increased it so losing 20,000 out of 100,000 I feel like that wouldn't leave you know Europe unprotected um but it would save some money perhaps so yeah I think that'll probably happen I think it's funny that uh the UK is is calling their idea for having France and the UK and Europe uh putting putting uh actually military forces boots on the ground in Ukraine to to prevent you know further Russian attacks that they're calling it The Coalition of the Willing the Coalition of the Willing so I think that would make America the Coalition of the unwilling like H Maybe not maybe maybe you could go do it yourself how about that Coalition of the unwilling meanwhile representative Andy ogles from Tennessee Republican he uh he's pursuing legislation to amend the Constitution to give Trump a third term now I would say the odds of that uh a constitutional amendment passing to give Trump a third term is basically zero so I don't think it's going to happen but it makes you wonder um this is reported by just the news uh makes you wonder does he really think that could happen like that's what he's going to spend his time on something that has no chance whatsoever of passing unless something you know outside of the legal process happen which I hope not so let me say uh unreservedly I am not in favor of a third Trump term not in favor now I might be if we didn't have JD Vance and others who are pretty strong but I feel like Trump has now set the stage he created the frame and the the Republicans have a pretty good bench they've got some strong players so so once he sort of created this idea of what can work and what can be popular um seems to me that you don't need somebody who's in his mid 80s and everybody's calling him a dictator because you know he served more than two terms however it happens so I'm against it I I don't want a president who's that age you know what a third term would look like I don't want that age um although I must say Trump currently he just looks great for his age he looks great anyway remember remember I told this story about Norway uh Norway had this big Fuel Depot that would fuel American warships that were in the area around Norway and they were mad about the zalinsky meeting so they decided that they wouldn't sell fuel to the American uh Navy around Norway and I said what kind of an idea is that they've decided to punish themselves by making less money and being less safe because it's not like we're going to rush to protect them if they're not going to sell us fuel for naval ships well it took about one day for the government of Norway to say this is again Michael Lee from Fox News uh the government of Norway to say um no we don't mean that no oh we're we're totally going to sell you fuel everything's fine don't worry about that so there must have been some crazy person in charge of that that big fueling company in Norway they straightened that out uh according to unusual whales on X uh Pete Heth in the uh he's the defense secretary um is told Mexican officials that if Mexico didn't deal with the what he calls the collusion between the country's government and the drug cartels the US military was prepared to take unilateral action uh actually this is President W Wall Street Journal um and then the New York Times reported that the cartels were um I don't know how much you can believe you tell me if this even sounds believable do you believe that the cartels are literally afraid already because if they go to sleep their house might blow up and it says there are people who are shutting down their fenal labs and people are you know not sleeping in one place and and that they're all worried and that uh and that the government of Mexico probably working with the US has already arrested a whole bunch of people and severely weakened the caloa cartel do you believe that I don't know it it's hard to imagine that it could be true that Mexico is making great inroads um weakening the cartels at the same time the Heth is complaining that the government is working with the cartels now obviously that could be different people you know the leaders maybe not but maybe you know the middle middle people maybe yes um just speculating so I've always imagined it's a hybrid situation where some members of the government are just absolutely on the take you know and support the the cartels one way or another and maybe some people aren't and the people aren't probably get killed so in the long run it seems like they would all be supporting the the cartels or they'd be dead so I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of the Mexican Government on that topic now I I promised you that this would be a short show and it is so that that's all I had to talk about today I'll talk to the people on locals for a minute but the rest of you thanks for joining um you know the the news is only funny when Trump is directly involved so only only Trump related stuff is like worth talking about the rest is like blah blah blah so you you wouldn't be surprised by the rest of the news all right um so I'm going to say bye to rumble and x and You.

Tube and locals I'm going to say hi to you guys thanks for joining e e e e

let me finish just robing only the

sweater only the

sweater well looks like the stock

market's kind of flat but bitcoin's up

about

6% makes

sense Let's uh get your comments going

and we'll have a

show a show of

[Music]

shows there we go

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time but if

you'd like to take this up to levels

that nobody can even understand with

their tiny shiny human brains all you

need for that is a cuper Mugger a glass

a tanker chal Stein a canteen jug a

flask a vessel of any kind fill with

your favorite liquid I like coffee join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine today the day the thing that

makes everything better simultaneous up

happens now

go

perfect oh thanks Paul

success all right well I'm going to

start with a quote from zuie those of

you on Aus probably know who zuie is uh

uh and there's some context to his post

but it's funnier without the context he

says subie says I think the idea of

having your own Island and inviting

people to it has been ruined

forever I've been laughing about that

all morning yeah yeah I think having

your own Island and inviting people to

it it's not looking like the best idea

anymore used to be something I wanted to

do well how many of you watch the Oscars

just kidding how can anybody watch that

crap it was just pure garbage I I tried

watching it for 10 seconds I was like

what the hell what am I

saying but uh apparently according to

end wokeness uh on a the uh the academy

has some kind of Oscar rules that

require diversity quotas around El you

can't be the best picture so if you

don't have the right mix of people you

you can't win best picture so one of the

movies that was at least a fan favorite

was a movie Reagan which is about Ronald

Reagan now don't you think the Ronald

Reagan movie if it were historically

accurate it's not going to look like

Roots am I right I mean it seems like if

you're doing a historically accurate

movie you kind of have to use the people

who were actually there but not in uh

not in the Oscar rules the the stupidity

of this and the pure absurdity of

requiring Dei representation on a Reagan

movie is hilarious what what would they

do if they remade

Roots would they say

well have to put a lot of these sleeves

are going to have to be bisexual or

something I don't know I don't know how

they handle that that's not my

problem nobody cared about it meanwhile

in Germany a car attacks some people

yeah a car attacks some people I read

the headlines and uh it was a car that

damn

car you know you can't trust

cars in Germany in America you can maybe

trust them a little bit more but even

here it's kind of tough no cars will

sometimes just turn on people and attack

them wait what oh there was a person

driving a person well that wasn't in the

headline I thought it was just the car

attacked

H well all right I'm not interested in

that story

um because that's the whole

story some some terrorist in a car I

assume I assume it was some terrorist uh

drove into a crowded people again

so maybe maybe a little more border

control would be good for

Germany according to Tech spot Rob

thubron is writing that that there's a

factory that's going to be built that

will make humanoid robots

but uh after a little uh process they'll

have the robots making other robots so

the the Holy Grail of robots is that the

robots make the other

robots and that really does change

everything because the cost of robots

will go down Etc and then doesn't seem

obvious to you that the the Tesla robot

you know Optimist whenever it comes out

does it seem obvious to you that

whenever musk puts a rocket on Mars you

know with a heavy payload because you

know his Rockets can handle a lot of

merchandise don't you think he's going

to have multiple robots and the robots

are going to set up some kind of a base

station and try to figure out how to

generate um oxygen you if they can power

themselves and they've got lots of spare

parts then if one of the robots breaks

the other robots can go fix it with the

spare parts and they can be up there

like toiling for years so that the next

time you land a rocket on Mars you've

got a whole like

Colony it's got oxygen and somehow

protected from the elements I don't know

how you do that but uh so it does make

me wonder if this is the beginning of

something big robots making

robots um so Trump is his usual uh

showman and he's announced that uh he's

going to have a crypto Reserve so he's

got some interesting teases today so

he's going to have a crypto Reserve in

the government and it would include the

obvious Bitcoin and ethernet but also

xrp and so and Ada and I don't know

anything about those um but here's the

thing you should

know that's probably the only way

America can

survive if you think well this is sort

of unnecessary and you know why does he

need to be so interested in crypto it's

because you're missing something big

it's unlikely that we'll be able to pay

off $35

trillion but we will be able to inflate

it until it's not worth that

much the only thing that'll have value

at some point will be crypto so crypto

will go up if it's the right kind this

doesn't apply to every crypto but

Bitcoin is you know artificially limited

by I guess the math of it so the value

of a Bitcoin will just keep going up so

I don't make

recommendations for your Investments

that's not my role and I'm bad at it but

I do say you should diversify so

diversification is the only financial

recommendation I make because that's the

one everybody agrees with that there's

nobody in the world who disagrees with

diversifying

so you should at least do your own

research and see if owning some Bitcoin

or ethernet maybe uh I don't know as

much about ethernet but

uh not ether what is it ethereum not

ethernet

ethereum um sorry I said ethernet

instead of

ethereum so I would look into it so my

own strategy is I own some just in case

but it's not a big part of my portfolio

at some point it might be all of it just

because it increases in

value um so that's going to

come then uh the CEO of Bank of America

says that as soon as it's legal to

launch a stable coin he's going to do it

now a stable coin would be a

crypto uh that is pegged to the

dollar so if you want to buy something

your your stable coin which whichever

one you create would have the same value

as the dollar and it would just always

stay the

same but I'm not sure I'd want one of

those I mean maybe it's good for some

transactions but if it decreases in

value as the dollar

deflates you know with inflation I don't

know that I'd ever want to hold a stable

coin seems like the opposite of good

financial management but maybe I'm

missing something again don't take my

advice for anything

Financial

um I guess tomorrow is it tomorrow or

today that doge is going to give the

first initial findings about the

Department of Defense now remember when

Elon Musk was on Joe Rogan and he said

that if anybody really knew the degree

of

corruption uh If he if he said it he

couldn't even he couldn't even say the

source of the corruption

he he would be

murdered and he's not joking I mean he's

not joking he does mean that and he

would be close enough to reality to know

that that's true

so uh the real dangerous one the most

dangerous is the Department of

Defense now think about this the

Department of Defense has never passed

an

audit and the the

NOS um are like a just a black box when

money goes to an NGO nobody knows what

happened and it there's no aiting

there's no uh anything it basically just

goes into people's pockets a lot of it

and then some of it gets used so they

can say oh yeah we we help some poor

people but I think maybe sometimes most

of it or a lot of it just goes into

these fake jobs it's like oh my spouse

is a consultant she she earns a million

dollars a year so let's put her on this

NGO and you wouldn't know there would be

no reporting this somebody put their own

wife on an NGO and cashed her out for a

million dollars a year so I assume

that's happening in a massive way

because it' be such an easy fraud to do

and it wouldn't even be fraud because if

she really did a little bit of

Consulting what are you going to do

she's just overpaid so it's sort of the

perfect crime

um apparently Trump is going to make

some kind of investment announcement at

1:30 eastern time today what do you

think that will be I love how he teases

it he doesn't tell you what it's going

to be he just teases it do you think is

Tik Tock I think Tik Tock is a good

guess maybe it's

Greenland I don't know maybe maybe it's

the mineral deal with Ukraine maybe

they've done some talking behind the

scenes I don't know maybe it's a Russian

mineral deal I don't know so I'd love to

know maybe it's I know Gaza or something

so there are a lot of things that could

be he's just

great and making us

wait he he's such a showman I kind of

love it and hate it at the same time

because I want to know the answer but I

love the fact that he teases us it's

kind of

fun um and then he said I think this is

separate he said that tomorrow night

will be big uh I will tell it like it is

so I guess that's when he gives his talk

to Congress is that what that is so he's

going to tell it like it is what do you

think that will include it sounds like

he's going to break

news do you think he's going to say we

should pull out a NATO and the

UN because you know he doesn't like to

be outdone when it comes to bold action

and now that Elon Musk has said publicly

we should get out of NATO and also get

out of the UN How Will trump not go

further it's his nature to not be the

not be the most timid one in any

situation so it's almost like he has to

kind of top that so I don't know you

might make some decisions about NATO and

the UN we'll say I'm having trouble

forming an opinion about those um

obviously it's more America First for us

not to be defending Europe when Europe's

trying to take away our free speech so

there's that

um but uh I don't know enough to know if

there's any way it helps us be

safer it doesn't feel like Russia is

going to invade one of the you know

standard European countries that they've

never had an interest in in the past you

they might do a little more

adventurousness where where there are

Russians speaking people uh maybe more

than that but uh I don't see them going

after a NATO country even if we're not

part of it because they Russia wouldn't

know that we wouldn't want to get

involved and if there's another

president might want to just sign up

again in NATO so that'll be

fun meanwhile Democrats are trying to

figure out how to be more like

Republicans and that's their strategy so

according to uh

reports a New York Post is reporting

that a group of moderate Democrats had a

little uh gathering in Virginia last

month and they were trying to figure out

how to make the Democrats more

competitive guess what they

decided that the way to make the

Democrats more competitive is to stop

saying dumb dumb Democrat stuff and

basically say what the Republicans are

saying so listen to these actual

ideas uh Democrats focused too much on

America's flaws like racism sexism

inequality without acknowledging the

country's progress and potential what

does that sound like that's a

republican um Embrace patriotism

community and traditional American

imagery what's that sound like

Republican avoid overly moralistic and

condescending messaging speak plainly

and directly what's that sound like

Republican

and then own the failures of the

democratic governance in large cities

and commit to improving local government

well if all they're doing is

acknowledging that the that those cities

are a mess it's just like

Republicans so here's what the Democrats

get

wrong Trump as far as I can tell is

authentic meaning I'm not aware of

anything Trump has ever suggested or

done an executive order on that wasn't

right in the middle of his historical

opinion about things so he's never liked

regulation so he's cutting regulation

he's never liked taxes so he's trying to

cut taxes and he's never liked War so

he's trying to get in a war but when I

look at the Democrats they're literally

theater kids and they're trying to

figure out how to pretend pretend to be

Republicans so they can win elections

it's so obvious that they don't feel

these

things because they're not saying be

authentic and just say what you mean

because they know that just crazy

would come out it's like oh got

intersectionality we got more Dei

everybody's a racist so they they can't

do that so they have to literally

pretend that the last 20 years didn't

happen and they never meant any of that

in the first

place isn't it funny that their strategy

is to reject everything they told you

was critical and the most important

thing in the world for 20 years because

they know they can't win in that and

that's the only reason they're going to

they're going to change now do you think

that somebody could run against a

republican who's got a track record of

believing Republican things and always

has versus the theater kids pretending

to me oh I love America now look at my

flag I put a flag on my car oh now

that's completely different did you

notice the flag on my car I don't think

they can pull it off even the theater

kids

anyway meanwhile on the same topic

Governor Nome is going to is starting to

clear the flamable brush from California

Forest um and as you know Trump had told

them that they should be doing that now

he's done it before so it's not like

they've never done it but uh New York

Post is reporting on this so he tapped

into his emergency powers and what he

had to do in order to clean up the

forests is he had to get rid of

regulations okay what's that sound

like so he uses his emergency powers to

get rid of several regulations there

more more than one because they just

couldn't do the common sense thing of

making the forests you know less

susceptible so isn't that just being a a

republican like are we not supposed to

notice that the only useful things

they're doing are directly cribed from

the party that they say are Hitler uh

yeah you guys are all Hitler but you got

a lot of good ideas so you know if you

get rid of the Hitler part I like the

part about no regulations and cleaning

up our forest it it's just it's just

crazy

stuff anyway

that's

happening there's now there's a so this

would be the opposite this this would be

California act Democrats acting like

Democrats you won't even believe this

one if you haven't already heard this

story you're going to think I made it up

because this so freaking

dumb so there's a bill being introduced

so it's not passed it's just a bill that

would require homeowners to quote

exhaust every reasonable means to escape

if bad people break into your house

while you're there um so you can't

confront them especially with deadly

force um or else you'll face homicide

charges the post millennial is writing

about this Hayden cutting him now can

you even believe that's real now it's

not real yet because it hasn't been

voted on but it's a Democrat plan in a

Democrat state so I don't know if

there's a good chance of it being passed

but can you even

imagine what this

does it so again it's the don't

understand human motivation it's just so

consistent if you say you know there's a

rich house over there and even if they

have a gun they can't use it because

they'll go to jail for murder so go

ahead and break into that one and uh if

they try to escape just let them uh

they'll have to run out the door and let

you loot it you know at your

leisure now of course the first thing I

think is how are they going to know you

exhausted all your

options it if the police arrived and

there's three home Invaders bleeding to

death on the ground and they're they're

already already

dead are you going to be able to say

well uh are they going to say to you did

you exhaust all your options

or are you going to say yeah they

wouldn't let me leave there was nothing

they could do they threatened to kill me

I I've exhausted all my options so

you're kind of forcing homeowners to

lie to protect their own home it's the

craziest thing and every time the

Democrats come up with a new idea it

feels like it's designed to drive

Californians out of their houses uh

let's raise the taxes on your house what

okay I I'm not even sure I'll be able to

stay in my house let's give you no

insurance you won't be able to buy fire

Insurance what everybody can buy fire

Insurance NOP not you not in California

well but what are the odds of a fire oh

really high really high we're going to

make sure that we haven't taking care of

that now maybe that's changing with with

Nome but uh and you know the stores are

going to be uh available for people to

just take anything they

want it it just all seems like it's the

same thing it's like Democrats are

literally trying to take everything you

have and give it to people who have been

in the country for a month and it's so

consistent it's hard to imagine it's any

kind of accident because the theme is

just so striking it's so obvious

anyway according to the New York Post

editorial board uh the Western countries

must soon admit it the Paris Accord

that's the climate change agreement was

a disastrous mistake now of course Trump

is pulling out or has pulled out as he

did in the first term but Biden put us

back in there so here's here's what has

been accomplished after trillions of

dollars have been sent spent trying to

curb greenhouse gases

trillions um Global emissions have

increased by

6% since the Paris Accord was signed and

of course the main reason is that China

and India um we're just going nuts and

of course the carbon doesn't doesn't

respect borders

so everybody's got more but here are

some of the things that some individual

companies did so Germany trying to be as

green as possible uh not only tried to

phase out its fossil fuels but even shut

down all its nuclear

reactors because somehow they were

convinced that nuclear reactors were not

green

that's the greenest technology there is

ask France it's not like you it's not

like France didn't exist which has very

robust you know nuclear energy sort of

the Envy of other countries I would say

it it's not like Germany didn't

notice that France was in a much better

situation

so so they basically crippled themselves

so that uh energy is hard to get which

means the price will be high which means

the things manufacturer will be a higher

price but uh it gets

worse um well actually the Germans voted

for a change in Direction this is also

from the New York Post so they've got a

new person there they elected Friedrich

Ms so he said he's going to prioritize

the economy over Waring on carbon so

what does that sound like a

republican it's just a

republican but here's one that blew me

away British economic growth has been

anemic for

years and one of the biggest reasons is

because the uh the Industrial and

Commercial electric rates in the UK are

among the highest in the world it's four

times more expensive just energy-wise to

make something in the UK just the energy

part now of course that's always a big

part so how can they even be globally

competitive if they've trippled

themselves so every single thing they

make is going to be wildly overpriced

compared to everybody else and they

didn't see that coming like nobody could

see that coming it was the most obvious

thing you could ever imagine that if you

used less efficient forms of energy

prices go

up if you close down other forums you

know prices go

up and

uh so they call them an eon IST you know

beor lomor I wouldn't call him a climate

change um

denier rather he's a you know that even

in the worst case scenario it doesn't

look like it'd be that bad so he points

out that uh uh even if global warming is

kind of what you think it is and by the

way I don't think he calls himself an

economist but the New York posted and he

said that uh the difference would be

that uh

by

2100 your your growth would be 435 per

instead of

450% basically you wouldn't even notice

the effect of climate change on your

economy in between now and

2100 that's a long time long

time well in related news and I'd like

to say before I

start you're taking my CO2 it's my plant

food all the plants are going to die die

if you try to take the CO2 out of the

air all the plants will die don't you

understand it's plant food you fool

swimming is the best exercise use a

French press soil and green as people so

those of you who are NPCs you need to

say the most obvious thing that you

could say after I read this

story so Yale announced has some kind of

super efficient way to turn um carbon

dioxide into usable energy with

Incredible efficiency now I won't read

you the details but um it's it turns it

into something called methanol which

could be used as a fuel but I think it

also uses a lot of energy to get it done

so I don't know if it's in net positive

or not but it is interesting that they

have they have a way to turn CO2 into a

useful

fuel right they're going to kill all the

plants they're going to take all my CO2

I don't know they'd have to work pretty

hard to suck enough out of the a that

they could make up for whatever China

and India are going to be doing for the

next 100 years I think your plant will

be

okay well data Republican the data

analyst who's just making a lot of waves

on

X um was talking about the NOS on a

podcast and I think I heard that there

are 55,000

ngos in other words 55,000 entities that

directly or indirectly take money from

the United States government and have no

accountability 55,000 of

them if you have any doubt that this is

a money laundering operation in addition

to it might do some good things but it

seems like it's at least half of it is

money laundering but also a sort of a

parallel government because they can

control so much to the NGS uh everything

from uh censoring people

to um all kinds of probably some lawfare

just all kinds of things um so it's a

way to control the country but also

probably a money laundering thing but uh

data Republican says that 7,000 of them

are politically connected and ordering

90% of all the taxpayer money meant for

nonprofits so apparently there's about

300 billion a year that our government

puts into these

NGS and with zero transparency so nobody

knows where the money goes after it goes

there isn't that

mindblowing that we don't know like the

the Department of Defense has never

passed an audit and there might be a

trillion dollars missing we don't know

and 300 billion a year go into these NOS

which have no accountability and just

sort of

disappears now under those circumstances

do you think there's any chance it's not

corruption

what what else could it be because the

most you know everybody would at least

have a report of how the money got spend

so they could get more next time but

apparently their their access to money

the NOS is not an any way affected by

what they do with the money that answers

all the questions if their performance

with the last money you gave them

doesn't make any difference to how much

you get next time that's got to be

corruption right what what would be the

other way to explain that I can't think

of any way it's that's just

obvious and Elan mus said that the he

said on Joe Rogan that the NOS are among

the biggest scams ever now the fact that

it's only among the biggest

scams it's only among them what the hell

else does he know about that we haven't

heard yet I think it has to do with the

Department of Defense but maybe also

fake Social Security and Medicaid

payments or something like that so

there's probably at least one thing he

knows that's even bigger than

that

wow so don't you

feel that at least those of us who

follow Doge and we know what's going on

which seems to not include any of the

Democrats by the way the Democrats are

not complaining about any NOS have you

heard any Democrats complain about it

they say

things like oh uh we it's good to cut

costs who who would be against waste

Fraud and

Abuse but Republicans say okay you got

to get rid of these NOS because they're

not accountable there's no way this is a

good idea but the Democrats are just oh

no they're fine just let's just uh we'll

get rid of the waste Fraud and Abuse how

there's no accounting if there's no

accounting and no auditing how are you

going to get rid of any waste Road and

abuse so I I think we can tell it makes

me wonder to what extent all the

highlevel Democrats know that the NOS

are a scam and and they know that that's

largely why it's organized that way I

feel like all the top ones know it you

know certainly the Pelosi Schumer you

know Chris Murphy type top Democrats

they must all know

that amazing

um so I guess uh Kier starmer he hosted

20 of his allies to talk about what to

do with Ukraine now that the United

States had a bad meeting with

zinski but um here's something that

Trump does all the time that I've talked

about a number of times but I don't

think I've talked about it once during

his second term I talked about it a lot

during the first term Trump always finds

these weird little situations where he

has two ways to win and no way to lose

so that's what happened with the the the

dust up with

zalinski one way to win is that he would

slap zalinski back into line and then

the deal would be signed and at least

during his term probably Putin would you

know would pull back now I don't know

that that would last forever but Trump

would be able to claim victory if he got

a good deal and then he you know said

look four years and Putin well I guess

it' be three three years and Putin has

pulled his military back everything's

looking good but if that didn't happen

and the deal blew up then he can say all

right we're getting out of NATO because

you guys are basically worthless and

it's not good for America if if the

zinsky meeting had not gone the way it

did could he have sold getting out of

NATO now I don't know if he can or we'll

try but he can now like that open the

door to all right maybe we should

rethink this whole situation so he's got

two ways to win either gets the deal and

three years of no Putin invading you'll

look like a hero at least for three

years and the other way is that he gets

to pull out of NATO save a bunch of

money and let Europe defend itself maybe

he even gets rid of the US at the same

time so I don't know if that might be

one of the announcements or the the the

hard truths he's he's planning to give

when he gives his speech but am I wrong

that he found a way to have two ways to

win there really wasn't a way to

lose he could either win pretty good or

he could win huge and it looks like he's

leaning toward winning huge but I think

zilinsky said well we could still make a

deal'

now now the the people who are really

bad at understanding the world probably

thought zinski is never going to agree

to the deal to which I said if it was

ever a good deal or ever the best deal

he could get he'll agree to it if it

wasn't a good deal then you won't agree

to it but it has nothing to do with the

the words they said in the office if

it's a good deal everybody does it

that's just how deals work it's just

transactional well apparently European

leader

according to Fox News Michael Lei uh

they're a little bit on edge because

Trump is thinking about they think they

think Trump might pull 20,000 troops out

of Europe uh the current number flu well

the number of US troops in Europe

according to Fox News fluctuated between

75,000 and

105,000 now I think Biden increased it

so losing 20,000 out of

100,000 I feel like that wouldn't leave

you know Europe

unprotected um but it would save some

money perhaps so yeah I think that'll

probably

happen I think it's funny that uh the UK

is is calling their idea for having

France and the UK and Europe uh putting

putting uh actually military forces

boots on the ground in Ukraine to to

prevent you know further Russian attacks

that they're calling it The Coalition of

the

Willing the Coalition of the Willing so

I think that would make America the

Coalition of the unwilling like H Maybe

not maybe maybe you could go do it

yourself how about that Coalition of the

unwilling meanwhile representative Andy

ogles from Tennessee Republican he uh

he's pursuing legislation to amend the

Constitution to give Trump a third

term now I would say the odds of that uh

a constitutional amendment passing to

give Trump a third term is basically

zero so I don't think it's going to

happen but it makes you wonder um this

is reported by just the news uh makes

you wonder does he really think that

could happen like that's what he's going

to spend his time on something that has

no chance whatsoever of passing unless

something you know outside of the legal

process happen which I hope not so let

me say uh

unreservedly I am not in favor of a

third Trump term not in favor now I

might be if we didn't have JD Vance and

others who are pretty strong but I feel

like Trump has now set the stage he

created the frame and the the

Republicans have a pretty good bench

they've got some strong players so so

once he sort of created this idea of

what can work and what can be popular um

seems to me that you don't need somebody

who's in his mid 80s and everybody's

calling him a dictator because you know

he served more than two terms however it

happens so I'm against it I I don't want

a president who's that age you know what

a third term would look like I don't

want that

age um although I must say Trump

currently he just looks great for his

age he looks

great anyway remember remember I told

this story about

Norway uh Norway had this big Fuel Depot

that would fuel American warships that

were in the area around Norway and they

were mad about the zalinsky meeting so

they decided that they wouldn't sell

fuel to the American uh Navy around

Norway and I said what kind of an idea

is that they've decided to punish

themselves by making less money and

being less

safe because it's not like we're going

to rush to protect them if they're not

going to sell us fuel for naval

ships well it took about one day for the

government of Norway to say this is

again Michael Lee from Fox News uh the

government of Norway to say um no we

don't mean that no oh we're we're

totally going to sell you fuel

everything's fine don't worry about that

so there must have been some crazy

person in charge of that that big

fueling company in Norway they

straightened that

out uh according to unusual whales on X

uh Pete Heth in the uh he's the defense

secretary um is told Mexican officials

that if Mexico didn't deal with the what

he calls the collusion between the

country's government and the drug

cartels the US military was prepared to

take unilateral

action uh actually this is President W

Wall Street Journal um and then the New

York Times reported that the cartels

were um I don't know how much you can

believe you tell me if this even sounds

believable do you believe that the

cartels are literally afraid already

because if they go to sleep their house

might blow up and it says there are

people who are shutting down their fenal

labs and people are you know not

sleeping in one place and and that

they're all worried and that

uh and that the government of Mexico

probably working with the US has already

arrested a whole bunch of people and

severely weakened the caloa cartel do

you believe

that I don't know it it's hard to

imagine that it could be true that

Mexico is making great

inroads um weakening the

cartels at the same time the Heth is

complaining that the government is

working with the cartels

now obviously that could be different

people you know the leaders maybe not

but maybe you know the middle middle

people maybe yes um just speculating so

I've always imagined it's a hybrid

situation where some members of the

government are just absolutely on the

take you know and support the the

cartels one way or another and maybe

some people aren't and the people aren't

probably get

killed so in the long run it seems like

they would all be supporting the the

cartels or they'd be dead so I wouldn't

trust anything that comes out of the

Mexican Government on that

topic

now I I promised you that this would be

a short

show and it is so that that's all I had

to talk about today I'll talk to the

people on locals for a minute but the

rest of you thanks for joining um you

know the the news is only funny when

Trump is directly involved so only only

Trump related stuff is like worth

talking about the rest is like blah blah

blah so you you wouldn't be surprised by

the rest of the news all right um so I'm

going to say bye to rumble and

x and YouTube and locals I'm going to

say hi to you

guys thanks for

joining
