Episode 2768 CWSA 03/04/25

it's time for a show everything's going to be amazing today let me get your comments on locals working 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 it up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cover Mar a glass of tank of chel Stein a canteen juger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the doping of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and damn it it happens right now go so good well special thanks to jack babic for your kind words on X I appreciate that I'm glad you're glad you watch every day um how about the news huh there's a lot of news today let's see if we can pound through it we'll uh we'll get to the serious stuff in a minute but we people are streaming in um according to the AP in Los Angeles uh 30 offic officers at a Southern California Juvenile Detention Facility have been charged for holding uh what they call Gladiator fights with with the miners so it's a it's not even an adult facility it's a juvenile DET I'm not supposed to laugh at this it's a juvenile detention center but apparently there were organizing the the officers were not not the inmates but he uh the guards were were organizing Gladiator fights where they would just all meet in a certain place at a certain time and fight it out now I know somebody who uh has had a more interesting life than than I have and claims that this is completely normal for adult detention facilities that the guards do in fact organize fights among the uh the inmates for the adults I didn't know it was happening juvenile facilities that just you know makes it extra bad but if you think this just happened in one place and there were 30 officers who are all in on it I got to wake you up this is closer to standard procedure the guards if they hate the uh the inmates any particular ones they organize a fight and they just put the ones they hate in the fight and they just stand back and watch it that that's a real thing all right well according to attorney general Pam Bondi there's an alleged truckload of Epstein files that were released by guess what the uh southern district of New York I guess that's where they they were all being stored and uh not unrelated the uh the head of that FBI the southern district New York was asked to resign partly because he told people to dig in and that was taken as resisting you know Trump Administration but uh also he wasn't really too keen on releasing all the Epstein files so he's gone and the Epstein files are in a truck and uh Pam Bonnie says that um that they're going to be delivered or theyve already been delivered and now they have to go through them and uh and uh then they'll figure out just what they can cannot show do you believe that I don't believe any of it do you think that they fought so hard to to not show it that they wouldn't also destroy the good stuff the truckload doesn't mean there's any good stuff so I'm going to guess that when they get in there they're going to say huh according to the evidence records and the document page numbers it feels like all the good stuff has been removed or the FBI itself will again even even if it's cash Patel or somebody else will just block out the things that we're not supposed to see and maybe that's all the stuff that we really wanted to see so I'm going to say just for fun uh I don't believe it's real I do believe there's a truck I do believe it's got a lot of Epstein files in it I do not believe this means we're going to find out the good stuff I I think it's just going to be more repeats of things we've seen but with a lot more detail so I don't trust this at all but it does look like Pam Bondi is dead serious and it looks like cash Patel is dead serious about trying so I'm going to give them A+ for trying but I feel like the Deep state may have already removed any possibility of finding the good stuff we'll see that's just speculation well Rachel M trying to Sal the idea that Trump is working with Putin a Russian puppet you know the usual thing it wouldn't matter what Trump did Trump woke up today oh he woke up like a Russian puppet Trump took a walk on the golf course oh that's exactly what Putin would want him to do so she writes up this super academic list of all the ways that that Trump is already already helping Putin and it's such it's such an academic and boring and complicated well but you know this could be connected in some way you know this stretching the idea of of the connection let me give you some examples uh so here's one of the ways that Trump is allegedly helping Putin um he weakened this is from Rachel M uh he weakened the nuclear security by firing Personnel okay we're reducing Personnel in basically everything that Doge touches so basically everything that Doge touches you know ends up in people being uh fired and every time no matter what department it is somebody says but those are the best people those are the best you got rid of all the best people what are we going to do now the nuclear security is probably exactly the same so no that's probably had nothing to do with Putin probably just was cost cutting and then she said that uh that Trump has disbanded key us Counter Intelligence units um eliminated the FBI's foreign influence task force which investigated secret foreign lobbying by adversaries such as Russia okay so it's something that affects all of our other adversaries and but also our allies because they always try to influence us too so it was a general rule but Rachel's like that looks like that's for Putin so almost anything that Trump does you can make an argument but indirectly indirectly that looks like that's for Putin so it's the most boring and academic and ridiculous list but it's good enough for her audience who are as you know all idiots so here's here's one we don't know why yet but P Heth has ordered a pause in US cyber offensive against Russia according to the BBC so the US just stopped doing offensive cyber attacks on Russia to which I say now that doesn't mean they stopped doing defensive stuff of course but why would you stop offensive cyber attacks well if I were getting ready to negotiate piece I would show them that we were capable of doing that I wouldn't wait forever you know we're not going to wait forever for Russia to sign a deal but one of the things that Trump is good at is bringing new variables into a negotiation so suddenly cyber attacks are on the table and then separately there's a report that uh that Russia has been asked to help communicate with Iran to work out a nuclear um some kind of a nonproliferation or something uh something about their nuclear program but the idea is that Russia would be a productive partner in negotiating with Iran because they have a better relationship to which I say that doesn't that's not crazy so we don't know enough about the uh the pause in the US cyber offensive but if it's just a pause and we're just showing that we can do it and we're trying to bring Russia into a more productive conversation about different parts of the world and how can you help us and maybe we can work together and maybe we can make some money I don't know I I think you have to look at the entire universe of things that are happening to figure out whether there's any room for a deal if all you're looking at is seire ceasefire yes or no ceasefire well you're not going to know anything yeah have to look at all the moving parts and say to yourself all right is that enough moving Parts where there's stuff we can give without costing anything and there's stuff they can give us without costing anything and probably there's going to be a whole bunch of variables that allow us to do that so yeah the more variables that Trump puts into the deal the more success will it be I think uh anyway and and we're not going to stop our defensive stuff so it's not like we're unprotected so Scott Jennings continues to entertain on the the panel with Abby Phillip on the CNN and he said uh to his uh to his TBL mates he goes you mentioned the Europeans it's it's interesting to me they spent more money on Russian oil and gas last year than they sent to Ukraine collectively and then Scott Jennings said that the proposed mineral deal that got turned down by zalinsky or never got signed he says the mineral deal is a effectively a security guarantee and what did Abby Phillips say um I have to do the the Democrat idiot face because it doesn't make sense oh that's not a security guarantee that's not a security guarantee you know you have to do a stupid face and then Scott Jennings would say well actually it's the best kind because it puts our own interests you know tied to the welfare of the country so it's actually a really good security thing but it's not a security guarantee it's not a security guarantee you know my book loser think there's a chapter in there which I talk about people who argue by definition you can't win an argument with a definition that's like not even playing and that be Philip is one of the definition people oh but but that's not called a that would that that would not be called a security guarantee so let me ask you this remember when KL Harris and the US and Europe they were all promising uh Ukraine that you know NATO would would be helping them and they were meaning that they would let Ukraine into NATO if certain conditions were met and those were kind of like security guarantees weren't they and what did that cause to happen Russia invaded the country so how about the time when uh Clinton promised was it Clinton who promised Putin that we wouldn't be adding a NATO countries on the border of Russia and then we did so how about those security guarantees now I would agree that if you're a NATO country you're safer than if you're not but to imagine that we wouldn't sell out with somebody for our own best interest or anybody really any country would countries only operate in their best interest so Scott Jennings is completely correct that having a big financial interest in the country probably keeps them a lot safer than if we didn't but if the only thing we did is said hey I promise you if they attack we'll be there tomorrow can you trust that is that enough of a guarantee what does it take to be a guarantee it's not like there's some court that could make us do it what if we say well that's a special case we can't get involved in that so um I think the definition this is also a very Democratic thing to do to insist that there's only one definition of a thing and and just act like it um we uh we don't think that biological men should compete with women in sports they're called women the definition of them are called women they're women yeah you know but we're not arguing the definition of words we're just saying that biological men they're stronger and so there's a risk and sort of an unfairness to the women but they're women they're women it's a definition by definition say it say it say it they're women and then they do the same thing with January 6th they start with first let's agree that this is an Insurrection U well actually almost nobody who was there or maybe some tiny percent would have thought of it that way almost everybody who protested on January 6 thought that they might be stopping an Insurrection so really it would be closer to the opposite of an Insurrection a protest perhaps oh it's an Insurrection it's an Insurrection they're called women they're called women security gues so once you see the pattern that Republicans argue about what works you know what what are the motivations what are the incentives what does the system look like that's how Republicans argue and then the Democrats argue definitions which is not even an argument it's literally what a child would do but but but you said you you said you take me to Ice Cream I know but it's raining and the car is broken but you said you said I I know it's just I can't because the car is broken but we'll go tomorrow but you said you said it's just a it's just a child argument over and over again so Reddit co-founder Lexis Ohanian is joining a group trying to see if they can put together a purchase deal for Tik tock I don't know how many groups there are looking at it now but they're pretty serious people so if the most serious people can't make a deal to buy Tik Tok who can so a post by John stasel and if you didn't know this I knew this but it kind of fits into the the stories today so this is an old old story but he mentions John stel does that the New York Times covered up Stalin's famine when he was starving people Stalin was while Millions starved now why did the New York Times cover up you know the one of the crimes of the century starving millions of people why would they cover that well it turns out that their star reporter Walter duranti uh but also his colleagues they uh they liked communism's utopian promises this is John stasel writing and uh the status he got when his exclusive interviews he could do exclusive interviews with Stalin so literally the New York Times was ignoring the biggest story happening the most horrible incredible bad thing and it was because the reporter sort of thought maybe communism is a good deal and you know if you get past this maybe it'll all work out now isn't it great that the media used to be completely fake and that's all fixed now you know I always think that if you don't if you don't know anything about history everything looks different if if you knew that for for sure no doubt about it that our major media platforms historically had all been fake uh they were either controlled by the CIA or or in this case probably wasn't the CIA but just somebody wanted to Li because it was good for him or it worked into his philosophy can you even imagine what changed enough that this wouldn't still be the case was there magic was there some magic after this happened and then and then the magic would catch it every time it tried to happen again no the Russia collusion hoax was just a madeup whole thing what about the uh fine people hoax which by the way and was it yeah I think NPR actually pushed the fine people hoax again I think yesterday now the the media has never been real and if you don't know that it's never been real historically it's really hard to understand that like it suddenly turned bad but most people think well it was pretty good in the old days you know maybe it got a little worse but it's basically okay no it is always been completely fake and there are reasons for it there are structural reasons that guarantee it will be fake because people have interests and those interests have money and U sometimes the writers but nobody's really interested in the truth they're interested in what works out for them well meanwhile the uh tsmc the big uh gigantic chip company that operates mostly in Taiwan says they're going to put 100 bill billion dollars into the US to build uh and support uh semiconductor manufacturing here now that sounds familiar right because we've had a few rounds of this company's going to do that this company so I saw Daniel Baldwin who uh works for oann and he put together a list so it's 100 billion from from tsmc the chip company uh Apple promised 500 billion for domestic man facturing uh something called Zep bound 27 billion um 100 billion from soft Bank 20 billion from daac I don't know what that is 500 billion from Stargate 600 billion from Saudi Arabia now those those numbers start adding up don't they um the other thing that's important that Trump understands better than anybody's ever understood it is that sometimes you have to BS a little bit about how things are going and then everybody's like really everything's going in that direction everybody every there's a big list of people putting a lot of money in there I better get on board it's how I get attention it's how the I make the government like me it's how I get the public to like me looks like it's Trend so these type of deals are being really well promoted and the promotion is probably as important as the dollar amounts at least in the early stages because you need a lot more but you want everybody to think everybody's doing it like you you need people to just think oh this is the thing now this is what we do um and we're there I think I think he's actually achieved that uh Eric D dhy on X says that HP is looking to move a lot of their operations from China to the US in response to Trump's tariffs so there's another story um the tariffs are working at least in that limited sense and meanwhile Trump's telling Farmers to get ready to produce more uh food to sell inside the us because he's putting tariffs on uh external food coming in starting April 2nd now the tariffs for um Canada and Mexico kicked in today 25% on most things but energy is a little cheaper 10% and I think uh Canada's already matched it with 25% I haven't heard from Mexico yet but one assumes it'll match it so the trade war is on but um the same time we'll talk more about that uh OPEC announced that it's going to increase oil production according to the hill now if you increase oil production C that should drive the uh price of oil down because it increases Supply um and I don't know if that's net good or bad for the United States because if prices are high then we drill a lot more in the United States because everything you do would make money it's like whoa oil is so high if it goes down then even some of the wells we already drilled um somebody's going to say oh this was a good idea before but now the price went down so they might you know just cap it so it it certainly should help with the price of your eggs and it certainly should help with inflation eventually and I don't think there's anything bigger so OPEC producing more is just about the best thing that could ever happen for Trump you know it's the one thing that everybody agrees lowers inflation or at least prices today so that's good news uh meanwhile uh X the xplatform is doing more great work for free speech uh so California was intro introduced this uh censorship law for social media and the essence of it is they require they want to require the social media platforms to have their own censorship um standards but it's all kind of squishy stuff like do you have a definition of hate speech what is your definition of racism and and all these things have that uhoh thing to them it's like okay we don't want ha speech we don't want any racism but as soon as you say it's somebody's job to decide when it happened then everything looks like hate speech and everything looks like racism because you could sort of you know racial mat it to make anything sound like one of those two things so it would be just a gross attack on Free Speech uh but it looks like X hired some lawyers and uh uh looks like it's going to be blocked at the moment the court struck down the key censorship provision according to reclaim the net DD rankovic so this is this is really huge and if you only think of X in terms of you know the the more obvious stuff it's doing you would miss one of its biggest values to the country is this uh musk will lawyer up whatever it costs and he will go after every attack on free speech that affs X and this is huge that you know you could get a win like that um speaking of which you know that the Europeans are trying to do the same thing that California was doing which is create these censorship standards so that they can control American companies by controlling what they can do in Europe which would you know trickle into the United States so if they said for example you can't post a message like this whatever this is in Europe well what are the platforms going to do if you're Facebook you're going to say all right well I guess we're going have to ban it everywhere because if it's banned in Europe and they're going to completely kick us out that market if we don't do this we're going to have to sens so um the FCC chairman um was over at the uh uh Mobile World Congress this is a Brendan Carr Brendan Carr is one of the good guys he he is very active and chasing down the bad behavior and addressing it so he's a giving speeches basically uh and he's mentioning the eu's Digital Services act which is the the one that would be sort of a backdoor way of censoring Americans and uh basically he's he's warning them that the United States is going to respond you know because Trump has already said uh he wants a directive to figure out how to tariff them or do something to make sure that they can't extort us that way so I love the fact that Trump and his head of the FCC basically are saying This Is War you you can try to censor us but we're not giving up the First Amendment so you tell us how expensive you want to make this because you know there's nothing we're not going to do to make sure that we're not censored you can censor yourself put yourself out of business as a real country but you're not going to do it to us and I think that Trump again one of the Magic parts of trump is that he doesn't Bluff so when Trump says were coming for you if you don't change this they know he's coming and Brendan Carr is like you know Chief Gladiator so if he's coming for you he's you know fully supported by Trump so we'll see where this goes but I love the fact that Trump is completely at War and isn't going to take this it's just completely unacceptable we're we're going to we do whatever it takes meanwhile update on the Dei dominoes so Dei has been falling everywhere even Black Rock decided to get out of it the big banks are getting out of it now today Arizona universities are quietly deleting their Dei language according to kronite news now I don't know if that means they're just hiding it but it means that they understand there's a risk and so they're operating based on risk which is what we want uh also the University of Southern California is going to scrub their Dei stuff out of their um other documents and stuff and again I don't know if that's just hiding it it might be hiding it but still step in the right direction if they have to hide it that feels like a little bit of a win it's a half win uh and then apparently there were um there were some CIA officers who were fired because they were part of the Dei programs for for the CIA and according to Natural news but a judge just um upheld Trump and Doge's ability to fire them for just being part of the Dei they didn't need a better reason so that was a reason and uh so that's going to stick one of my big questions is how will history treat Dei because you know if you went back in history and let's say it was right in the middle of slavery what do you think the news said about slavery in the South the news in the South it was probably like yeah things are working real good uh we of course we got a lot of slaves so production is up uh we had a good ball um don't you think that while it was happening it was treated like a positive because otherwise it wouldn't have been there but then you know a few hundred years later we quite rightly call it like one of the worst things we've ever done and we've done some bad things things uh but we all understand okay that's just that's right near the top of the worst things we've ever done what do you think Dei will do in the future I I have a dream I have a dream that it will be treated by historians as just evil now it's not going to be full you know slavery evil or Jim Crow evil but it's it's right up there with Jim Crow so it's like 40 years roughly 40 years I think of absolute over discrimination against one category of people and lives were ruined careers were ruined the economy was suffering I think um it's just one of the darkest worst messed up parts of American history and I just wonder if history will ever record it that way or if they'll say well uh all the good people try for decades to make things better but the evil Republicans shut it down after 40 years of being terribly successful now it wasn't called Dei for 40 years but it was you know affirmative action same thing so I'm hoping history will get it right and say this is one of the worst things that the country's ever done we've done worse but it's it's one of the bad ones all right this is funny and also predictable do you remember when UK UK and France were meeting to figure out what they could do about Ukraine and then they came out to that meeting and it sounded like oh looks like there's a little bit of unity there so the UK and France were talking about maybe putting boots on the ground and I thought well it starts with you know two of the more important countries and then then they'll slowly you know collecting their allies and you know maybe maybe they've got this maybe they figured it out but instead apparently what we just learned is that Germany walked out of the meeting according to Javier Vore European conservative um so Germany just said you know I'm paraphrasing because I wasn't there but it was something like wait what did you just say well our idea is we're going to put boots on the ground in Ukraine wait whose boots you know European so we're going to put some UK boots going to put a little France boots we we we can get some German boots over there filled with people of course not just the boots and then Germany was like we're done that's crazy and they just walked out now if Europe can't get Germany on board and it's not because it's expensive it's because Germany just said ah how about no how about hard hard no so and then we're not even sure if France and the UK agree on uh on what a ceasefire would look like so so the European Union or let's just call it the European countries decide that they're going to go it alone and the best they could come up with is two countries that almost agreed and the rest of them just said are you crazy we're out so it looks like they got nothing but then on top of that the uh EU head of the EU uh says that they they're going to unveil a $800 billion plan to rearm Europe $800 billion and I say to myself okay what would have been the most predictable outcome not the most entertaining the most predictable outcome's let's see if you can figure this out there's a possibility of conflict uh people are trying to prevent conf lict but there's a real possibility of the conflict if you were going to predict what was going to happen the most obvious prediction it would have been oh so what will happen is that the military-industrial complex will get billions of dollars and uh and we'll get screwed it was completely predictable the military industrial complex they just keep winning I I've actually thought huh how could I get in on this military-industrial complex because you know I like to be on the winning team and I swear to God they win every they win every round what's your problem uh Russia you're going to need to buy some weapons what's your problem China well I got an idea you better spend a trillion dollars on weapons it's like no matter what we do the answer is always give money to the military-industrial complex so that's why we like Trump because I don't think he automatically Falls for that um it's also weird that Europe has nukes and those are not a deterrent to being invaded like what what are they actually buying weapons to do are they buying weapons so that they don't have to use their nukes if Russia tries to roll over Europe and take over the UK has Russia ever shown give me a history lesson has Russia ever shown interest in conquering any country that wasn't really either Russians speaking or had some you know obvious uh strategic value they're not good guys so I'm not saying Russia is the good guys don't get me wrong but do you think Russia has ever wanted to conquer France if they ever wanted to conquer the UK or at least let's say in the last 100 years I don't think so so it seems like if you just said here's the deal we're going to get rid of all of our weapons but if you put one Russian boot on our territory we're going to Nuke Poland not Poland we're going to Nuke Moscow sorry don't aim the don't a the new exited Ally why doesn't that work you know if the more traditional weapons you have the more likely you're going to get into a traditional fight but if you just said we're going to get rid of all of them because you'd be insane to attack us because we only have this one defense so we use it we'll just take out Moscow with a nuclear weapon would you if you were Russia and somebody said our entire defense is written up in this document you're free to read it and the document says if Russia attacks even one inch of our territory we're going to Nuke them would you attack if it was actually in writing we're going to put a nuke right up your ass I don't think so now there like I said there's no such thing as a real security guarantee there's no no guarantees but it would have to be at least as safe as spending $800 billion for the military-industrial complex some of it in our country I assume but a lot of in Europe while Trump's giving a big speech to Congress tonight somebody some people were speculating that he might float the idea of leaving NATO I don't think so because I don't think he would announce that in his speech but hey he's full of surprises Anything Could Happen he might tease it I could imagine him teasing it just to see what reaction he got but I don't think he's going to announce it um apparently according to election wizard on X the Congressional Democrats are planning to disrupt his speech and their plan allegedly uh involves using a variety of tactics including noise makers Hand Clappers signs eggs and walkouts now how do the eggs fit into this and and why are eggs suddenly such a big part of every story can we do can we do any story that doesn't involve eggs why did eggs become the biggest thing to talk about anyway I assume the eggs would be to what throw if somebody threw an egg at the president wouldn't they be arrested would that not be assault or attempted attempted injury of some kind of a sitting president Wouldn't It Be A disruption of uh of an official business I don't know if his speech is official business or not but uh we'll see uh I'm kind of kind of doubtful that eggs will be thrown maybe they'll just bring him to show off it's like look I got an egg anybody else have an egg can't afford it can you I got an egg because I did insider trading I did enough insider trading to have an egg well according to Laura lumer and some others uh apparently the left is also going to organize or has organized uh some kind of a massive protest in the black lives matter Plaza before Trump does his speech to Congress now do you remember when we were more innocent and if you heard that the left had an organized protest you'd think wow it must be a lot of people like Regular People were just mad otherwise you couldn't pull together that many people but then you learned that these are all fake all these protests are just probably Soros funded or you know Hoffman or something and that um some of the people might be sincere but this this doesn't happen unless it's just a big fake thing driven by people at the top with money so to me it's just funny because once you realize it's just theater and it's fake it doesn't even look the same anymore like I I can't even get mad at it because like oh that's kind of funny how's your fake protest going well if you haven't seen Economist Jeffrey saxs talking about Russia and Ukraine you really should now he does have what I would consider a I don't want to say it in a it's hard to describe him other people would say he's pro-russian other people would so I'm not going to say that but it it lets you know how he is received so one of the things when I say Pro Russian I don't mean more than the United States it's just that he doesn't want to be at war with Russia doesn't make any sense so I guess other people think think that's pro- Russian because he doesn't want to be at war with Russia um but he says the war is over because Trump doesn't want to back a loser and that's all you have to know that zinski is a loser and backing him would wouldn't make sense and it certainly wouldn't make sense for somebody like Trump who doesn't want to back a loser and I thought to myself that is really cleverly summarized you know if you could imagine that Trump thought zalinski was actually you know uh Winston Churchill and a amazing figure maybe he would treat him that way but it's pretty clear that Trump thinks that zinski is a loser and he doesn't want to Hitch his wagon to somebody who's unpredictable and not going along with the game and once and zalinsky predicted that the war would last a long time now isn't that kind of up to zilinski Ian it's only going to last as long as he wants it to so yeah I I think I agree with Jeffrey saaks on this if the only thing you knew is that Trump isn't the kind of guy who wants to back a loser an obvious loser um it's kind of all you need to know so meanwhile uh Russia has allegedly agreed I think I mentioned this to help with uh uh negotiating with Iran over their nuclear program Iran's nuclear program and also talked to them about uh Iran support of proxies in the region uh Bloomberg AI was reporting this now what I like about this like I said is when Trump expands the negotiations which he's doing instead of saying hey which part of Ukraine do you keep and what day do you want to do the ceasefire total losing approach not enough variables but if Trump goes and says um according to unusual whales uh Ukraine's president zalinski just said quote I am ready to work under Trump's strong leadership to bring peace interesting because that's exactly what Trump demanded he said we can work with you but we need a strong statement that says you want peace because the last thing you said was I think the war is going to last a long time we need security guarantees we need weapons s that's the opposite of working toward peace so it looks like zinski is reading the room a little bit better obviously he's getting a lot of advice but uh you see the bigger picture right it's a really big world uh Russia has a lot of energy they get a big military they've got connections with countries we want to influence you know Syria and um and Iran and we have things that they want such as maybe not doing cyber attacks maybe we're better at it than they are so I think the conversation is going to go to I'm just going to guess I'll bet you you we had 20 variables which would be genius because if you got 20 variables everybody's got something to get out of it it's like okay well you're going to help us with the rant but also this will settle you know Ukraine but well maybe we can do a mineral deal with Russia separately from anything that we do with Ukraine and so suddenly you've got 20 different things that just make sense just common sense you know you help us we can help you there's no reason that we should be enemies now those of you who have been with me a long time how long have I been saying that the The Arc of history is bending toward Russia and the United States being allies we're natural allies now what I mean by that is that we have more interests in common if we think about it right yeah if we stop packing at each other and and trying to get an advantage and put the other one out of business which is what we've both been doing for decades if we just stopped doing it and said how about instead of trying to destroy each other and putting all of our efforts into it what if we tried to make money what if we tried to make the world safer uh what if we said if you stay out of uh you know our part of the world uh there are parts of your world that will stay out of and I just think we have the most natural um possibility of being allies now part of it is we don't share a border as soon as you share a border everything everything becomes complicated but we don't we got that wonderful Ocean between us and more we got Europe and an ocean so I really think my optimism of getting sort of a giant 20 variable Russia deal very high very high and the reason is both sides want it and it's doable both sides have really good uh really good negotiators and and uh Trump trump said in one of his announcements that uh that Putin even used his own campaign phrase Common Sense which of course was very smart for Putin to do because he's good at sucking up you know when he's negotiating so yeah I think something good could come out I'm 100% positive on this at the moment 100% positive it won't be right away because 20 variables I mean think about how long it would take to figure out 20 variables but we can do it um so JD Vance was explaining how the uh the mineral deal would have been better than a security guarantee and he said uh he said uh the president knows that look if you want real security guarantees if you want to actually ensure that Putin does not invade Ukraine again the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine uh that is a way better security guarantee than here comes his disc I love how JD just slaps down other entities because this is way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years wow that's how he talks with about our allies well okay I like it um and I agree the the only thing that protects you is that the country that has the big guns has a personal interest so if we've got a lot of money on the line I mean this could be a trillion dollars you know in these mining deals uh yeah that would be a good way to guarantee that we we're interested and by the way if you're Russia and we said to you don't attack Ukraine because you know we'll go in and protect them we gave them a security guarantee would that be stronger than saying uh you better not go into Ukraine because we've got a trillion dollars riding there and we're not going to let that just be taken over so if you go in we're going to protect our interests doesn't that sound the same the the one where you say we're going to protect our own economic interest that sounds like the more real one because everybody protects their own economic interest if you said oh we're going to go protect this country in the other side of the world that doesn't have a direct impact on us even if we meant it it's not terribly persuasive but if you say we're not going to give up a trillion dollars in mining operations which are critical to our most important industries like Ai and self-driving cars and robots we're not going to give that up so if you move your armies in we have to stop you and you wouldn't even have to put it in writing because Putin would know that these are critical mineral rights they're not these are not ordinary things it's not it's not mining for fun it's critical survival depends on it we need to nail down some sources that we can mine preferably in other countries anyway uh Elon Musk was saying this about zinski uh he says as distaste distasteful as it is zinsky should be offered some kind of amnesty in a neutral country in exchange for a peaceful transition back to democracy in Ukraine now how many years have I been talking about dictator retirement Island we always have the same problem that if there's a dictator we want to depose there's not really any path for the dictator they kind of have to fight to the death including killing all of their own their own uh country people by sending them you know against your machine guns so I don't think there's a practical way to solve this but if we had just one good Island and we deci here's the deal if you decide to retire to this island we'll give you an American passport and you can you can live there you'll have a mansion you can keep the billion dollars you stole uh you can live in luxury and we'll guarantee then nobody comes over and tries to kill you from anything you did before you'll just live with your neighbors who are also retired dictators be kind of cool it's not my best idea but I agree with musk there needs to be some way that the alleged dictator can make a clean Escape in in a way that would just be good for them because we don't need to punish them so much as we just need them gone sometimes all right here's my idea for what to do to negotiate the who owns what land uh on the eastern part of what used to be Ukraine but now seems to be totally occupied by Russia just the eastern part um I saw a map of where Russia was the main language I didn't realize that something like is it over half of Ukraine uh Russia is the dominant uh language and people might even call themselves Russian not all of them but a lot of them would call themselves Russians even though they're technically ukrainians and so I thought well if let's say you did a vote and you said all right all these little regions that are disputed that Russia controls right now uh Russia would you agree to do a vote well nobody's going to trust the vote we would just assume that would be rigged so you can't really have a vote but could you do a survey I'm guessing that most of the people over there still have cell phones right could you do a scientific enough um and I would get at least three separate pollsters to do it and then compare them so that they would do their work blind then the three would compare to see if there's any major differences in what they got and they would just call people they say all right you if do you want to be uh owned by Russia or owned by Ukraine and then you just figure out what they want now what if you what if Ukraine said we don't agree with that then you have to wonder what is their motivation if what the if what the people who live there want isn't the main thing then what are you are you a dictatorship shouldn't the people who live there be the primary ones who decide now we also have the problem that some of that area is depopulated so I don't even know what's left so you might not even be able to get any kind of representative sample because it might be just people who haven't died yet you know old people and children and stuff so maybe impossible but I would at least look at the idea of polling them and you'd have to have at least three polls operating independently to to feel like you know one of them wasn't totally biased meanwhile Governor Nome of California um according to Joel Pollock and Breitbart is uh ordering state employees back to the office so nome's uh plan to act more like a republican seems to be right on point so he's copying Doge and and making The Californians come back to work now he says only four days a week which would be a lot but it does remind you that the Democrats just painted themselves into the corner of all Corners by being opposed to Common Sense so when whenever they Embrace a little bit of common sense it just looks like they're copying and then you say well why do we need them if they're just copying you know just Republicans already do it and you don't have to wonder if they mean it because Republicans tend to only do things they mean so the uh the Democrat strategy of saying let's let's do more common sense things and emphasize uh patriotism and get rid of the identity politics how does that work from an election strategy perspective so so follow me on this if somebody likes what Republicans do and they like what Trump does and they like especially that Trump is emphasizing Common Sense Solutions is there any is there any scenario in which they vote Democrat because oh it's all the same now now they're both doing common sense so I I guess I'll I'll abandon you know my love of magga and I'll vote for a Democrat not many people are going to do that because it looks like one side means it and the other side is just doing fast copying and you couldn't even be sure that you know if you looked away they would still do on a common sense stuff because it's not really in their genes but um meaning the party's genes not any individuals genes and wouldn't it just make the the the extreme people in their own party the Democrats wouldn't it just make them not show up to vote so if they copy Republicans and try to be the common sense ones wouldn't the only net effect be to reduce their own base because it's not going to make any difference to a trump voter not no Trump voter is going to say oh look those Democrats look good today I'll go over there for a day I don't think so so it makes me wonder if they've thought anything out like even on paper it doesn't look like it can work even though obviously backing Common Sense makes sense but how can that work now the other thing I notic is that when Republicans talk have you noticed the Republicans have a vibe like you could probably tell who's a republican if they're talking on TV takes you about 10 seconds to say ah probably a republican because they have a let's say a buttoned up kind of Republican conservative way of talking about things and I would say that that's authentic because it's the lifestyle that they've adopted they they are influenced by the people that they like and people are around so you know nobody is completely natural but Republicans talk and act and think like Republicans but Democrats have this weird thing where the most prominent part of their party are just theater kids and they try to sell their ideas with their faces have you noticed that if if you listen to a republican trying to sell a policy they'll say well if we do this and that we'll get this impact so that's why we want to do it just policy but if you get any one of these cats out shiff Chris Murphy Jamie Raskin AOC swell Elizabeth Warren or Schumer they do face persuasion where they they just crunch up their face to show how terrible something is that Trump is doing it's so bad oh it's so bad he's H there he's H there and none of it makes sense and they they do uh you know definition thinking and analogy thinking literally analogy because they say oh he's acting like Hitler now an analogy which is not anything or oh the definition of an Insurrection these are not even attempts to be part of the rational conversation because none of that's rational uh so instead they send actors now it doesn't mean that every Democrat is an actor because they have you know normal ones but the normal ones are not on TV the ones that get on TV are the are the ones who do the faces oh it's so bad I've got so much empathy oh look look at the little things in my forehead look at those lines on my forehead that's that's how serious I am about how bad it is it they're so beyond pathetic at this point that it just seems funny and my new favorite is Chris Murphy because that guy doesn't look genuine even a little bit he literally just looks like a theater kid who's just so happy he can do his you know he can do his act on TV anyway tariffs tariffs tariffs uh Trump is doubling his tariffs on China over the fenol crisis I'm in favor of that I'm in favor of uh pressing China in every way we can I don't think that a tariff will end um their fental practice because I think their benefit is to Big it's a huge burden on the United States they don't care about our deaths and so clearly strategically they're going to keep doing it but there is one thing that they do care about which is being shamed on the public stage and by putting gigantic tariffs on them because they're sending fenel to us and we know they can stop it that is a way to shame them without just getting in she's face we just say this is going to stop we're going to press every button and we're going to make a lot of noise forever and it's going to be one of the biggest things that anybody thinks about when they think about China so China if you want your reputation to be that your drug dealers you win because we're going to make sure that your reputation is drug dealers so if you want uh that to be your brand uh Trump will be happy to make that come true for you now that might have some power um not by itself so again you'd have to add 20 variables to get any kind of a deal that really stopped fenel but I don't know if fentanyl can be stopped but I do like the level of effort that Trump's putting into it meanwhile China is halting Imports of us logs and it's suspend suspending Imports of our soybeans no what what will happen to our logs and our soybeans now of course these are tragedies for the industries involved I don't want to minimize it but the thing you should probably um expect is that prices will go up in the short term and the short term could be a year but it might be more than a year but everything he's doing collectively makes sense in the long term and it's a hard sell if you say to people hey I've got an idea we're going to raise your prices for the next year or two uh in the worst possible way but when we're done we're going to be in a solid ground and prices will drift down and we need to do this is the only way to survive you can't really sell that because the all the public would hear is what about the price of my eggs okay I just said they'd go up what about the price of my gas well it might go up but the only way we can get to a point where it's domestic manufacturing and all the things we need to uh reduce cost like creating more energy the only way we get there is through this hard road so we got to do it well you can't really sell that so um I expect it to get a little worse before it gets better so that would be the most natural outcome Trump said he's considering a free trade agreement with Argentina I guess that means no tariffs and no duties and no vat taxes so that would be a big deal I can't imagine that M of Argentina would say no to that because he's a free market guy so is Trump so um I like the fact that Trump is saying this part of the world no tariffs I like that a lot that's a really good way to run a continent well here's a seriously disturbing uh note so representative Nancy mace who's talked about this in public before so I don't know the details but my understanding is she was a victim of a horrific sex related crime with multiple people and maybe the suggestion that there was a videotape so drugged raped and videotaped now that's what people are saying I don't know the details but she said this in a post on X I understand video or videos may have been released via media Outlet tonight I hope this warrants the state to search for certain devices and certain tapes at a certain location what is she suggesting that the crime against her might be on video and that somebody may be releasing it today now I assume it' be you know censored at least a little bit but I got to say I certainly admire her guts that the fact that she's taking ownership of what had to be the most horrific thing that ever happened to her I'm guessing um the fact that instead of just avoiding it or not talking about it she's going right at it she wants you to know what happened and it looks like she wants you to know who it was and I I feel like she knows who it was but I I don't know if she's for any reason decided not to talk about it yet but if this video comes out there will be faces on the screen and they won't all be hers if it's if it is her at all we're we're speculating that's what it looks like well this is funny uh according to Retro Coast um when Doge tried to remove the credit cards from government employees I guess it was the Department of Defense who was running up all kinds of entertainment and Babs and travel on their their government credit cards like a lot like just totally under control uh because nothing's audited seems like so they tried to just remove the credit cards from government employees but some kind of federal judge blocked it so instead of removing the credit cards they just reset the limit to $1 so they can keep their credit cards but it's only $1 limit per month well maybe just $1 according to rasmason 61% believe that an audit of the Social Security System would reveal widespread fraud in the program 61% that means there are 39% who don't expect widespread fraud in our social security they are very optimistic um in many ways that's the best Doge endorsement you could get the 61% thinking audit of the Social Security is going to find massive fraud that is quite an endorsement of the why don't you look at everything and and find that fraud for us so I like that meanwhile NASA scientist according to brighter side of news and Joseph shavit um the reporting on a propellantless propulsion for Rockets space rockets and propellantless means it's not based on stuff explos put in the Rocket's ass to drive it forward or rather it generates thrust using electric Fields rather than expelling Mass so the thinking is if they can perfect this it would be just this enormous Leap Forward in space travel because you wouldn't need to have fuel that you're burning it probably would be easier to generate electricity which in in turn would you know manipulate these electric Fields so I think they surprised themselves how well work all right ladies and gentlemen that is what I have for today thank you for joining another tight hour of fun I'm going to say hi to the uh people on locals privately but the rest of you thanks for joining on Rumble and You.

Tube and x and locals coming at you in 30 seconds I'll definitely be watching the President tonight uh I don't know if I'll stream it probably not e e e

it's time for a

show everything's going to be amazing

today let me get your comments on locals

working there we

[Music]

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 it up to levels that

nobody can even understand with their

tiny shiny human brains all you need for

that is a cover Mar a glass of tank of

chel Stein a canteen juger flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

doping of the day the thing makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and damn it it happens

right now go

so good well special thanks to jack

babic for your kind words on X I

appreciate that I'm glad you're glad you

watch every day um how about the news

huh there's a lot of news today let's

see if we can pound through

it we'll uh we'll get to the serious

stuff in a minute but we people are

streaming in um according to the AP in

Los Angeles uh 30 offic officers at a

Southern California Juvenile Detention

Facility have been charged for holding

uh what they call Gladiator fights with

with the miners so it's a it's not even

an adult facility it's a juvenile

DET I'm not supposed to laugh at this

it's a juvenile detention center but

apparently there were organizing the the

officers were not not the inmates but he

uh the guards were were organizing

Gladiator fights where they would just

all meet in a certain place at a certain

time and fight it

out now I know somebody who uh has had a

more interesting life than than I have

and claims that this is completely

normal for adult detention facilities

that the guards do in fact organize

fights among the uh the inmates for the

adults I didn't know it was happening

juvenile facilities that just you know

makes it extra bad but if you think this

just happened in one place and there

were 30 officers who are all in on

it I got to wake you up this is closer

to standard

procedure the guards if they hate the uh

the inmates any particular ones they

organize a fight and they just put the

ones they hate in the fight and they

just stand back and watch it that that's

a real

thing all right well according to

attorney general Pam Bondi there's an

alleged truckload of Epstein files that

were released by guess what the uh

southern district of New York I guess

that's where they they were all being

stored and uh not unrelated the uh the

head of that FBI the southern district

New York was asked to resign partly

because he told people to dig in and

that was taken as resisting you know

Trump

Administration but uh also he wasn't

really too keen on releasing all the

Epstein files so he's gone and the

Epstein files are in a truck and uh Pam

Bonnie says that

um that they're going to be delivered or

theyve already been delivered and now

they have to go through them and uh and

uh then they'll figure out just what

they can cannot show do you believe

that I don't believe any of it do you

think that they fought so hard to to not

show it that they wouldn't also destroy

the good stuff the truckload doesn't

mean there's any good stuff so I'm going

to guess that when they get in there

they're going to say huh according to

the evidence records and the document

page numbers it feels like all the good

stuff has been removed

or the FBI itself will again even even

if it's cash Patel or somebody else

will just block out the things that

we're not supposed to see and maybe

that's all the stuff that we really

wanted to see so I'm going to say just

for

fun uh I don't believe it's real I do

believe there's a truck I do believe

it's got a lot of Epstein files in it I

do not believe this means we're going to

find out the good stuff

I I think it's just going to be more

repeats of things we've seen but with a

lot more detail so I don't trust this at

all but it does look like Pam Bondi is

dead serious and it looks like cash

Patel is dead serious about trying so

I'm going to give them A+ for trying but

I feel like the Deep state may have

already removed any possibility of

finding the good stuff we'll see that's

just speculation

well Rachel M trying to Sal the idea

that Trump is working with Putin a

Russian puppet you know the usual thing

it wouldn't matter what Trump did Trump

woke up today oh he woke up like a

Russian puppet Trump took a walk on the

golf course oh that's exactly what Putin

would want him to do so she writes up

this super academic list of all the ways

that that Trump is already

already helping Putin and it's such it's

such an academic and boring and

complicated well but you know this could

be connected in some way you know this

stretching the idea of of the connection

let me give you some

examples uh so here's one of the ways

that Trump is allegedly helping

Putin um he weakened this is from Rachel

M uh he weakened the nuclear security by

firing

Personnel okay we're reducing Personnel

in basically everything that Doge

touches so basically everything that

Doge touches you know ends up in people

being uh

fired and every time no matter what

department it is somebody says but those

are the best people those are the best

you got rid of all the best people what

are we going to do now the nuclear

security is probably exactly the same so

no that's probably had nothing to do

with Putin probably just was cost

cutting and then she said that uh that

Trump has disbanded key us Counter

Intelligence

units um eliminated the FBI's foreign

influence task force which investigated

secret foreign lobbying by adversaries

such as

Russia okay so it's something that

affects all of our other adversaries and

but also our allies because they always

try to influence us too so it was a

general

rule but Rachel's like that looks like

that's for Putin so almost anything that

Trump does you can make an argument but

indirectly indirectly that looks like

that's for Putin so it's the most boring

and academic and ridiculous list but

it's good enough for her audience who

are as you know all

idiots so here's here's one we don't

know why yet but P Heth has ordered a

pause in US cyber offensive against

Russia according to the BBC so the US

just stopped doing offensive cyber

attacks on

Russia to which I say now that doesn't

mean they stopped doing defensive stuff

of course but why would you stop

offensive cyber attacks

well if I were getting ready to

negotiate piece I would show them that

we were capable of doing that I wouldn't

wait forever you know we're not going to

wait forever for Russia to sign a deal

but one of the things that Trump is good

at is bringing new variables into a

negotiation so suddenly cyber attacks

are on the table and then separately

there's a report that uh that Russia has

been asked to help communicate with Iran

to work out a

nuclear um some kind of a

nonproliferation or something uh

something about their nuclear program

but the idea is that Russia would be a

productive partner in negotiating with

Iran because they have a better

relationship to which I

say that doesn't that's not

crazy so we don't know enough about the

uh the pause in the US cyber offensive

but if it's just a pause and we're just

showing that we can do it and we're

trying to bring Russia into a more

productive conversation about different

parts of the world and how can you help

us and maybe we can work together and

maybe we can make some

money I don't know I I think you have to

look at the entire universe of things

that are happening to figure out whether

there's any room for a deal if all

you're looking at is seire ceasefire yes

or no ceasefire well you're not going to

know anything yeah have to look at all

the moving parts and say to yourself all

right is that enough moving Parts where

there's stuff we can give without

costing anything and there's stuff they

can give us without costing anything and

probably there's going to be a whole

bunch of variables that allow us to do

that so yeah the more variables that

Trump puts into the deal the more

success will it be I

think uh anyway and and we're not going

to stop our defensive stuff so it's not

like we're

unprotected so Scott Jennings continues

to entertain on the the panel with Abby

Phillip on the CNN and he said uh to his

uh to his TBL mates he goes you

mentioned the Europeans it's it's

interesting to me they spent more money

on Russian oil and gas last year than

they sent to Ukraine

collectively and then Scott Jennings

said that the proposed mineral deal that

got turned down by zalinsky or never got

signed he says the mineral deal is a

effectively a security guarantee and

what did Abby Phillips say um I have to

do the the Democrat idiot face because

it doesn't make sense oh that's not a

security guarantee that's not a security

guarantee you know you have to do a

stupid face and then Scott Jennings

would say well actually it's the best

kind

because it puts our own interests you

know tied to the welfare of the country

so it's actually a really good security

thing but it's not a security guarantee

it's not a security

guarantee you know my book loser think

there's a chapter in there which I talk

about people who argue by

definition you can't win an argument

with a

definition that's like not even playing

and that be Philip is one of the

definition people oh but but that's not

called a that would that that would not

be called a security

guarantee so let me ask you

this remember when KL Harris and the US

and Europe they were all promising uh

Ukraine that you know NATO would would

be helping them and they were meaning

that they would let Ukraine into NATO if

certain conditions were met and those

were kind of like security guarantees

weren't they

and what did that cause to

happen Russia invaded the

country

so how about the time when uh Clinton

promised was it Clinton who promised

Putin that we wouldn't be adding a NATO

countries on the border of Russia and

then we

did so how about those security

guarantees now I would agree that if

you're a NATO country you're safer than

if you're not but to imagine that we

wouldn't sell out with somebody for our

own best interest or anybody really any

country would countries only operate in

their best

interest so Scott Jennings is completely

correct that having a big financial

interest in the country probably keeps

them a lot safer than if we didn't but

if the only thing we did is said hey I

promise you if they attack we'll be

there tomorrow can you trust that is

that enough of a

guarantee what does it take to be a

guarantee it's not like there's some

court that could make us do it what if

we say well that's a special case we

can't get involved in

that

so um I think the definition this is

also a very Democratic thing to do to

insist that there's only one definition

of a thing and and just act like it um

we uh we don't think that biological men

should compete with women in sports

they're called women the definition of

them are called women they're women yeah

you know but we're not arguing the

definition of words we're just saying

that biological men they're stronger and

so there's a risk and sort of an

unfairness to the women but they're

women they're women it's a definition by

definition say it say it say it they're

women and then they do the same thing

with January 6th they start with first

let's agree that this is an

Insurrection U well actually almost

nobody who was there or maybe some tiny

percent would have thought of it that

way almost everybody who protested on

January 6 thought that they might be

stopping an Insurrection so really it

would be closer to the opposite of an

Insurrection a protest perhaps oh it's

an Insurrection it's an Insurrection

they're called women they're called

women security

gues

so once you see the pattern that

Republicans argue about what

works you know what what are the

motivations what are the incentives what

does the system look like that's how

Republicans argue and then the Democrats

argue

definitions which is not even an

argument it's literally what a child

would do but but but you said you you

said you take me to Ice Cream I know but

it's raining and the car is broken but

you said you said I I know it's just I

can't because the car is broken but

we'll go tomorrow but you said you

said it's just a it's just a child

argument over and over

again so Reddit co-founder Lexis Ohanian

is joining a group trying to see if they

can put together a purchase deal for Tik

tock I don't know how many groups there

are looking at it now but they're pretty

serious people so if the most serious

people can't make a deal to buy Tik Tok

who

can so a post by John

stasel and if you didn't know this I

knew this but it kind of fits into the

the stories today so this is an old old

story but he mentions John stel does

that the New York Times

covered up Stalin's famine when he was

starving people Stalin was while

Millions starved now why did the New

York Times cover up you know the one of

the crimes of the century starving

millions of people why would they cover

that well it turns out that their star

reporter Walter duranti uh but also his

colleagues they uh they liked

communism's utopian promises this is

John stasel writing and uh the status he

got when his exclusive interviews he

could do exclusive interviews with

Stalin so literally the New York Times

was ignoring the biggest story happening

the most horrible incredible bad thing

and it was because the

reporter sort of thought maybe communism

is a good deal and you know if you get

past this maybe it'll all work

out now isn't it

great that the media used to be

completely fake and that's all fixed

now you know I always think that if you

don't if you don't know anything about

history everything looks different if if

you knew that for for sure no doubt

about it that our major media

platforms historically had all been

fake uh they were either controlled by

the CIA or or in this case probably

wasn't the CIA but just somebody wanted

to Li because it was good for him or it

worked into his

philosophy can you even imagine what

changed enough that this wouldn't still

be the case was there magic was there

some magic after this happened and then

and then the magic would catch it every

time it tried to happen again no the

Russia collusion hoax was just a madeup

whole thing what about the uh fine

people hoax which by the way and was it

yeah I think

NPR actually pushed the fine people hoax

again I think

yesterday

now the the media has never been real

and if you don't know that it's never

been real historically it's really hard

to understand that like it suddenly

turned

bad but most people think well it was

pretty good in the old days you know

maybe it got a little worse but it's

basically okay no it is always been

completely fake and there are reasons

for it there are structural reasons that

guarantee it will be fake because people

have interests and those interests have

money and U sometimes the writers but

nobody's really interested in the truth

they're interested in what works out for

them well meanwhile the uh tsmc the big

uh gigantic chip company that operates

mostly in Taiwan says they're going to

put 100 bill billion dollars into the US

to build uh and support uh semiconductor

manufacturing here

now that sounds familiar right because

we've had a few rounds of this company's

going to do that this company so I saw

Daniel Baldwin who uh works for

oann and he put together a list so it's

100 billion from from tsmc the chip

company uh Apple promised 500 billion

for domestic man facturing uh something

called Zep bound 27

billion

um 100 billion from soft Bank 20 billion

from daac I don't know what that is 500

billion from

Stargate 600 billion from Saudi

Arabia

now those those numbers start adding up

don't

they um the other thing that's important

that Trump understands better than

anybody's ever understood it is that

sometimes you have

to BS a little bit about how things are

going and then everybody's like really

everything's going in that direction

everybody every there's a big list of

people putting a lot of money in there I

better get on board it's how I get

attention it's how the I make the

government like me it's how I get the

public to like me looks like it's Trend

so these type of deals are being really

well

promoted and the promotion is probably

as important as the dollar amounts at

least in the early stages because you

need a lot more but you want everybody

to think everybody's doing it like you

you need people to just think oh this is

the thing now this is what we do um and

we're there I think I think he's

actually achieved that uh Eric D dhy on

X says that HP is looking to move a lot

of their operations from China to the US

in response to Trump's

tariffs so there's another story um the

tariffs are working at least in that

limited

sense and meanwhile Trump's telling

Farmers to get ready to produce more uh

food to sell inside the us because he's

putting tariffs on uh external food

coming in starting April 2nd now the

tariffs for um Canada and Mexico kicked

in today 25% on most things but energy

is a little cheaper 10% and I think uh

Canada's already matched it with 25% I

haven't heard from Mexico yet but one

assumes it'll match it so the trade war

is

[Music]

on but um the same time we'll talk more

about that uh OPEC announced that it's

going to increase oil production

according to the hill now if you

increase oil production C that should

drive the uh price of oil down because

it increases

Supply um and I don't know if that's net

good or bad for the United States

because if prices are high then we drill

a lot more in the United States because

everything you do would make money it's

like whoa oil is so high if it goes down

then even some of the wells we already

drilled um somebody's going to say oh

this was a good idea before but now the

price went down so they might you know

just cap it so it it certainly should

help with the price of your eggs and it

certainly should help with inflation

eventually and I don't think there's

anything

bigger so OPEC producing more is just

about the best thing that could ever

happen for Trump you know it's the one

thing that everybody agrees lowers

inflation or at least prices

today so that's good news uh

meanwhile uh X the xplatform is doing

more great work for free speech uh so

California was intro introduced this uh

censorship law for social media and the

essence of it is they require they want

to require the social media platforms to

have their own censorship um standards

but it's all kind of squishy stuff like

do you have a definition of hate speech

what is your definition of

racism and and all these things have

that

uhoh thing to them it's like okay we

don't want ha speech we don't want any

racism but as soon as you say it's

somebody's job to decide when it

happened then everything looks like hate

speech and everything looks like racism

because you could sort of you know

racial mat it to make anything sound

like one of those two things so it would

be just a gross attack on Free Speech uh

but it looks like X hired some lawyers

and

uh uh looks like it's going to be

blocked at the moment the court struck

down the key censorship provision

according to reclaim the net DD rankovic

so this is this is really huge and if

you only think of X in terms of you know

the the more obvious stuff it's doing

you would miss one of its biggest values

to the country is this uh musk will

lawyer up whatever it costs and he will

go after every attack on free speech

that affs X and this is

huge that you know you could get a win

like

that um speaking of which you know that

the Europeans are trying to do the same

thing that California was doing which is

create these censorship standards so

that they can control American companies

by controlling what they can do in

Europe which would you know trickle into

the United States so if they said for

example you can't post a message like

this whatever this is in Europe well

what are the platforms going to do if

you're Facebook you're going to say all

right well I guess we're going have to

ban it everywhere because if it's banned

in Europe and they're going to

completely kick us out that market if we

don't do this we're going to have to

sens

so um the FCC chairman

um was over at the uh uh Mobile World

Congress this is a Brendan Carr Brendan

Carr is one of the good guys he he is

very active and chasing down the bad

behavior and addressing it so he's a

giving speeches basically uh and he's

mentioning the eu's Digital Services act

which is the the one that would be sort

of a backdoor way of censoring

Americans and

uh basically he's he's warning them that

the United States is going to respond

you know because Trump has already said

uh he wants a directive to figure out

how to tariff them or do something to

make sure that they can't extort us that

way so I love the fact that Trump and

his head of the FCC basically are saying

This Is War

you you can try to censor us but we're

not giving up the First Amendment so you

tell us how expensive you want to make

this

because you know there's nothing we're

not going to do to make sure that we're

not censored you can censor yourself put

yourself out of business as a real

country but you're not going to do it to

us

and I think that Trump again one of the

Magic parts of trump is that he doesn't

Bluff so when Trump says were coming for

you if you don't change this they know

he's coming and Brendan Carr is like you

know Chief Gladiator so if he's coming

for you he's you know fully supported by

Trump

so we'll see where this goes but I love

the fact that Trump is completely at War

and isn't going to take this it's just

completely unacceptable we're we're

going to we do whatever it takes

meanwhile update on the Dei dominoes

so Dei has been falling everywhere even

Black Rock decided to get out of it the

big banks are getting out of it now

today Arizona universities are quietly

deleting their Dei language according to

kronite news now I don't know if that

means they're just hiding it but it

means that they understand there's a

risk and so they're operating based on

risk which is what we want uh also the

University of Southern California is

going to scrub their Dei stuff out of

their

um other documents and stuff and again I

don't know if that's just hiding it it

might be hiding it but still step in the

right direction if they have to hide it

that feels like a little bit of a win

it's a half win uh and then apparently

there were um there were some CIA

officers who were fired because they

were part of the Dei programs for for

the CIA and according to Natural news

but a judge just um

upheld Trump and Doge's ability to fire

them for just being part of the Dei they

didn't need a better reason so that was

a reason and uh so that's going to

stick one of my big questions is how

will history treat

Dei because you know if you went back in

history and let's say it was right in

the middle of

slavery what do you think the news said

about slavery in the South the news in

the South it was probably like yeah

things are working real good uh we of

course we got a lot of slaves so

production is up uh we had a good

ball um don't you think that while it

was happening it was treated like a

positive because otherwise it wouldn't

have been there but then you know a few

hundred years later we quite rightly

call it like one of the worst things

we've ever done and we've done some bad

things things uh but we all understand

okay that's just that's right near the

top of the worst things we've ever done

what do you think Dei will do in the

future I I have a dream I have a

dream that it will be treated by

historians as just

evil now it's not going to be full you

know slavery evil or Jim Crow evil but

it's it's right up there with Jim Crow

so it's like 40 years roughly 40 years I

think of absolute over discrimination

against one category of

people and lives were ruined careers

were ruined the economy was suffering I

think um it's just one of the darkest

worst messed up parts of American

history and I just wonder if history

will ever record it that way or if

they'll say well uh all the good people

try for decades to make things better

but the evil Republicans shut it down

after 40 years of being terribly

successful now it wasn't called Dei for

40 years but it was you know affirmative

action same thing so I'm hoping history

will get it right and say this is one of

the worst things that the country's ever

done we've done worse but it's it's one

of the bad ones all right this is funny

and

also predictable do you remember when UK

UK and France were meeting to figure out

what they could do about

Ukraine and then they came out to that

meeting and it sounded like oh looks

like there's a little bit of unity there

so the UK and France were talking about

maybe putting boots on the ground and I

thought well it starts with you know two

of the more important countries and then

then they'll slowly you know collecting

their allies and you know maybe maybe

they've got this maybe they figured it

out but instead apparently what we just

learned is that Germany walked out of

the meeting according to Javier Vore

European

conservative um so Germany just said you

know I'm paraphrasing because I wasn't

there but it was something like wait

what did you just say well our idea is

we're going to put boots on the ground

in

Ukraine wait whose boots you know

European so we're going to put some UK

boots going to put a little France boots

we we we can get some German boots over

there filled with people of course not

just the boots and then Germany was

like we're

done that's crazy and they just walked

out now if Europe can't get Germany on

board and it's not because it's

expensive it's because Germany just said

ah how about no how about hard hard

no so and then we're not even sure if

France and the UK agree on uh on what a

ceasefire would look like so so the

European Union or let's just call it the

European countries decide that they're

going to go it

alone and the best they could come up

with is two countries that almost agreed

and the rest of them just said are you

crazy we're out so it looks like they

got nothing but then on top of that the

uh EU head of the

EU uh says that they they're going to

unveil a $800 billion plan to rearm

Europe $800

billion and I say to

myself okay what would have been the

most predictable outcome not the most

entertaining the most predictable

outcome's let's see if you can figure

this out there's a possibility of

conflict uh people are trying to prevent

conf lict but there's a real possibility

of the

conflict if you were going to predict

what was going to happen the most

obvious prediction it would have been oh

so what will happen is that the

military-industrial complex will get

billions of dollars and uh and we'll get

screwed it was completely predictable

the military industrial complex they

just keep

winning I I've actually thought huh how

could I get in on this

military-industrial complex because you

know I like to be on the winning team

and I swear to God they win every they

win every round what's your problem uh

Russia you're going to need to buy some

weapons what's your problem China well I

got an idea you better spend a trillion

dollars on weapons it's like no matter

what we do the answer is always give

money to the military-industrial

complex so that's why we like Trump

because I don't think he automatically

Falls for that

um it's also weird that Europe has nukes

and those are not a deterrent to being

invaded like what what are they actually

buying weapons to do are they buying

weapons so that they don't have to use

their nukes if Russia tries to roll over

Europe and take over the

UK has Russia ever shown give me a

history lesson has Russia ever shown

interest

in conquering any country that wasn't

really either Russians speaking or had

some you know obvious uh strategic

value they're not good guys so I'm not

saying Russia is the good guys don't get

me wrong but do you think Russia has

ever wanted to conquer

France if they ever wanted to conquer

the UK or at least let's say in the last

100 years I don't think so so it seems

like if you just said here's the deal

we're going to get rid of all of our

weapons but if you put one Russian boot

on our territory we're going to Nuke

Poland not Poland we're going to Nuke

Moscow sorry don't aim the don't a the

new exited

Ally why doesn't that work you know if

the more traditional weapons you have

the more likely you're going to get into

a traditional fight but if you just said

we're going to get rid of all of them

because you'd be insane to attack us

because we only have this one defense so

we use it we'll just take out Moscow

with a nuclear weapon would you if you

were Russia and somebody said our entire

defense is written up in this document

you're free to read it and the document

says if Russia attacks even one inch of

our territory we're going to Nuke

them would you attack if it was actually

in writing we're going to put a nuke

right up your ass

I don't think so now there like I said

there's no such thing as a real security

guarantee there's no no

guarantees

but it would have to be at least as safe

as spending $800 billion for the

military-industrial complex some of it

in our country I assume but a lot of in

Europe while Trump's giving a big speech

to Congress tonight somebody some people

were speculating that he might float the

idea of leaving NATO I don't think so

because I don't think he would announce

that in his speech but hey he's full of

surprises Anything Could Happen he might

tease it I could imagine him teasing it

just to see what reaction he got but I

don't think he's going to announce it um

apparently according to election wizard

on

X the Congressional Democrats are

planning to disrupt his

speech and their plan

allegedly uh involves using a variety of

tactics including noise makers Hand

Clappers signs eggs and

walkouts now how do the eggs fit into

this and and why are eggs suddenly such

a big part of every story can we do can

we do any story that doesn't involve

eggs why did eggs become the biggest

thing to talk about anyway I

assume the eggs would be to what

throw if somebody threw an egg at the

president wouldn't they be

arrested would that not be

assault or

attempted attempted injury of some kind

of a sitting president Wouldn't It Be A

disruption of uh of an official business

I don't know if his speech is official

business or not but uh we'll see uh I'm

kind of kind of doubtful that eggs will

be thrown

maybe they'll just bring him to show off

it's like look I got an egg anybody else

have an egg can't afford it can you I

got an egg because I did insider trading

I did enough insider trading to have an

egg well according to Laura lumer and

some others uh apparently the left is

also going to organize or has organized

uh some kind of a massive protest in the

black lives matter Plaza before Trump

does his speech to Congress now do you

remember when we were more

innocent and if you heard that the left

had an organized protest you'd think wow

it must be a lot of people like Regular

People were just mad otherwise you

couldn't pull together that many people

but then you learned that these are all

fake all these protests are just

probably Soros funded or you know

Hoffman or something and that um some of

the people might be

sincere but this this doesn't happen

unless it's just a big fake thing driven

by people at the top with money so to me

it's just funny because once you realize

it's just theater and it's fake it

doesn't even look the same anymore like

I I can't even get mad at it because

like oh that's kind of funny how's your

fake protest

going well if you haven't seen Economist

Jeffrey saxs talking about Russia and

Ukraine you really should now he does

have what I would

consider a I don't want to say

it in a it's hard to describe him other

people would say he's

pro-russian other people would so I'm

not going to say that but it it lets you

know how he is received so one of the

things when I say Pro Russian I don't

mean more than the United States it's

just that he doesn't want to be at war

with Russia doesn't make any sense so I

guess other people think think that's

pro- Russian because he doesn't want to

be at war with Russia um but he says the

war is over because Trump doesn't want

to back a loser and that's all you have

to know that zinski is a loser and

backing him would wouldn't make sense

and it certainly wouldn't make sense for

somebody like Trump who doesn't want to

back a loser and I thought to myself

that is really cleverly

summarized you know if you could imagine

that Trump thought zalinski was actually

you know uh Winston Churchill and a

amazing figure maybe he would treat him

that way but it's pretty clear that

Trump thinks that zinski is a

loser and he doesn't want to Hitch his

wagon to somebody who's unpredictable

and not going along with the game and

once and zalinsky predicted that the war

would last a long time now isn't that

kind of up to

zilinski Ian it's only going to last as

long as he wants it to

so yeah I I think I agree with Jeffrey

saaks on this if the only thing you knew

is that Trump isn't the kind of guy who

wants to back a loser an obvious

loser um it's kind of all you need to

know

so

meanwhile uh Russia has allegedly agreed

I think I mentioned this to help with uh

uh negotiating with Iran over their

nuclear program Iran's nuclear program

and also talked to them about uh Iran

support of proxies in the region uh

Bloomberg AI was reporting this now what

I like about this like I said is when

Trump expands the

negotiations which he's doing instead of

saying hey which part of Ukraine do you

keep and what day do you want to do the

ceasefire total losing approach not

enough variables but if Trump goes and

says um

according to unusual

whales uh Ukraine's president zalinski

just

said quote I am ready to work under

Trump's strong leadership to bring peace

interesting because that's exactly what

Trump demanded he said we can work with

you but we need a strong statement that

says you want peace because the last

thing you said was I think the war is

going to last a long time we need

security guarantees we need weapons s

that's the opposite of working toward

peace so it looks like zinski

is reading the room a little bit better

obviously he's getting a lot of

advice but uh you see the bigger picture

right it's a really big world uh Russia

has a lot of energy they get a big

military they've got connections with

countries we want to influence you know

Syria and um

and Iran and we have things that they

want such as maybe not doing cyber

attacks maybe we're better at it than

they are so I think the conversation is

going to go to I'm just going to guess

I'll bet you you we had 20

variables which would be

genius because if you got 20 variables

everybody's got something to get out of

it it's like okay well you're going to

help us with the rant but also this will

settle you know Ukraine but well maybe

we can do a mineral deal with Russia

separately from anything that we do with

Ukraine and so suddenly you've got 20

different things that just make sense

just common sense you know you help us

we can help

you there's no reason that we should be

enemies now those of you who have been

with me a long time how long have I been

saying that the The Arc of history is

bending toward Russia and the United

States being

allies we're natural

allies now what I mean by that is that

we have more interests in common if we

think about it right yeah if we stop

packing at each other and and trying to

get an advantage and put the other one

out of business which is what we've both

been doing for decades if we just

stopped doing it and said how about

instead of trying to destroy each other

and putting all of our efforts into it

what if we tried to make money what if

we tried to make the world safer uh what

if we said if you stay out of uh you

know our part of the world uh there are

parts of your world that will stay out

of and I just think we have the most

natural um possibility of being allies

now part of it is we don't share a

border as soon as you share a border

everything everything becomes

complicated but we don't we got that

wonderful Ocean between us and more we

got Europe and an ocean

so I really

think my optimism of getting sort of a

giant 20 variable Russia

deal very high very high and the reason

is both sides want it and it's doable

both sides have really good uh really

good negotiators and and uh Trump trump

said in one of his announcements that uh

that Putin even used his own campaign

phrase Common Sense which of course was

very smart for Putin to do because he's

good at sucking up you know when he's

negotiating so yeah I think something

good could come out I'm 100% positive on

this at the moment 100% positive it

won't be right away because 20 variables

I mean think about how long it would

take to figure out 20 variables but we

can do

it

um so JD Vance was explaining how the uh

the mineral deal would have been better

than a security guarantee and he said

uh he said uh the president knows that

look if you want real security

guarantees if you want to actually

ensure that Putin does not invade

Ukraine again the very best security

guarantee is to give Americans economic

upside in the future of

Ukraine uh that is a way better security

guarantee than here comes his

disc I love how JD just slaps down other

entities because this is way better

security guarantee than 20,000 troops

from some random country that hasn't

fought a war in 30 or 40

years

wow that's how he talks with about our

allies well okay I like it

um and I agree the the only thing that

protects you is that the country that

has the big guns has a personal interest

so if we've got a lot of money on the

line I mean this could be a trillion

dollars you know in these mining deals

uh yeah that would be a good way to

guarantee that we we're interested and

by the way if you're

Russia and we said to you don't attack

Ukraine because you know we'll go in and

protect them we gave them a security

guarantee would that be

stronger than saying uh you better not

go into Ukraine because we've got a

trillion dollars riding there and we're

not going to let that just be taken over

so if you go in we're going to protect

our interests doesn't that sound the

same the the one where you say we're

going to protect our own economic

interest that sounds like the more real

one because everybody protects their own

economic interest if you said oh we're

going to go protect this country in the

other side of the world that doesn't

have a direct impact on

us even if we meant it it's not terribly

persuasive but if you say we're not

going to give up a trillion dollars in

mining operations which are critical to

our most important industries like Ai

and self-driving cars and robots we're

not going to give that up so if you move

your armies in we have to stop you and

you wouldn't even have to put it in

writing

because Putin would know that these are

critical mineral rights they're not

these are not ordinary things it's not

it's not mining for fun it's critical

survival depends on it we need to nail

down some sources that we can mine

preferably in other

countries anyway uh Elon Musk was saying

this about zinski uh he says as distaste

distasteful as it is zinsky should be

offered some kind of amnesty in a

neutral country in exchange for a

peaceful transition back to democracy in

Ukraine now how many years have I been

talking about dictator retirement

Island we always have the same problem

that if there's a dictator we want to

depose there's not really any path for

the dictator they kind of have to fight

to the death including killing all of

their own their own uh country people by

sending them you know against your

machine guns

so I don't think there's a practical way

to solve this but if we had just one

good Island and we deci here's the deal

if you decide to retire to this island

we'll give you an American passport and

you can you can live there you'll have a

mansion you can keep the billion dollars

you stole uh you can live in luxury and

we'll guarantee then nobody comes over

and tries to kill you from anything you

did before you'll just live with your

neighbors who are also retired dictators

be kind of

cool it's not my best idea but I agree

with musk there needs to be some way

that the alleged

dictator can make a clean Escape in in a

way that would just be good for them

because we don't need to punish them so

much as we just need them gone

sometimes all right here's my idea for

what to do to negotiate the who owns

what land uh on the eastern part of what

used to be Ukraine but now seems to be

totally occupied by Russia just the

eastern part um I saw a map of where

Russia was the main language I didn't

realize that something like is it over

half of Ukraine uh Russia is the

dominant uh language and people might

even call themselves Russian not all of

them but a lot of them would call

themselves Russians even though they're

technically ukrainians and so

I thought well if let's say you did a

vote and you said all right all these

little regions that are disputed that

Russia controls right now uh Russia

would you agree to do a vote well

nobody's going to trust the vote we

would just assume that would be rigged

so you can't really have a

vote but could you do a

survey I'm guessing that most of the

people over there still have cell phones

right

could you do a scientific

enough um and I would get at least three

separate pollsters to do it and then

compare them so that they would do their

work blind then the three would compare

to see if there's any major differences

in what they got and they would just

call people they say all right you if do

you want to be uh owned by Russia or

owned by

Ukraine and then you just figure out

what they

want now what if you what if Ukraine

said we don't agree with

that then you have to wonder what is

their

motivation if what the if what the

people who live there want isn't the

main thing then what are you are you a

dictatorship shouldn't the people who

live there be the primary ones who

decide now we also have the problem that

some of that area is depopulated so I

don't even know what's left so you might

not even be able to get any kind of

representative sample because it might

be just people who haven't died yet you

know old people and children and stuff

so maybe impossible but I would at least

look at the idea of polling them and

you'd have to have at least three polls

operating independently to to feel like

you know one of them wasn't totally

biased meanwhile Governor Nome of

California um according to Joel Pollock

and Breitbart is uh ordering state

employees back to the

office so nome's uh plan to act more

like a

republican seems to be right on point so

he's copying Doge and and making The

Californians come back to work now he

says only four days a

week which would be a

lot but it does remind you that the

Democrats just painted themselves into

the corner of all Corners by being

opposed to Common Sense

so when whenever they Embrace a little

bit of common sense it just looks like

they're copying and then you say well

why do we need them if they're just

copying you know just Republicans

already do it and you don't have to

wonder if they mean it because

Republicans tend to only do things they

mean so the

uh the Democrat strategy of saying let's

let's do more common sense things and

emphasize uh

patriotism and get rid of the identity

politics how does that

work from an election strategy

perspective so so follow me on this if

somebody likes what Republicans do and

they like what Trump does and they like

especially that Trump is emphasizing

Common Sense

Solutions is there any is there any

scenario in which they vote Democrat

because oh it's all the same now now

they're both doing common sense so I I

guess I'll I'll

abandon you know my love of magga and

I'll vote for a Democrat not many people

are going to do that because it looks

like one side means it and the other

side is just doing fast copying and you

couldn't even be sure that you know if

you looked away they would still do on a

common sense stuff because it's not

really in their

genes but um

meaning the party's genes not any

individuals

genes

and wouldn't it just make the the the

extreme people in their own party the

Democrats wouldn't it just make them not

show up to

vote so if they copy

Republicans and try to be the common

sense ones wouldn't the only net effect

be to reduce their own

base because it's not going to make any

difference to a trump voter not no Trump

voter is going to say oh look those

Democrats look good today I'll go over

there for a day I don't think

so so it makes me wonder if they've

thought anything out like even on paper

it doesn't look like it can work even

though obviously backing Common Sense

makes sense but how can that work now

the other thing I notic is that when

Republicans talk have you noticed the

Republicans have a vibe like you could

probably tell who's a republican if

they're talking on TV takes you about 10

seconds to say ah probably a republican

because they have a let's say a buttoned

up kind of Republican conservative way

of talking about things and I would say

that that's

authentic because it's the lifestyle

that they've adopted they they are

influenced by the people that they like

and people are around so you know nobody

is completely natural but Republicans

talk and act and think like

Republicans but Democrats have this

weird thing where the most prominent

part of their party are just theater

kids and they try to sell their ideas

with their faces have you noticed that

if if you listen to a republican trying

to sell a policy they'll say well if we

do this and that we'll get this impact

so that's why we want to do it just

policy but if you get any one of these

cats out shiff Chris Murphy Jamie Raskin

AOC swell Elizabeth Warren or Schumer

they do face

persuasion where they they just crunch

up their face to show how terrible

something is that Trump is

doing it's so bad oh it's so bad he's H

there he's H there and none of it makes

sense and they they do uh you know

definition thinking and analogy thinking

literally

analogy because they say oh he's acting

like Hitler now an analogy which is not

anything or oh the definition of an

Insurrection these are not even attempts

to be part of the rational

conversation because none of that's

rational uh so instead they send

actors now it doesn't mean that every

Democrat is an actor because they have

you know normal ones but the normal ones

are not on TV the ones that get on TV

are the are the ones who do the faces

oh it's so bad I've got so much empathy

oh look look at the little things in my

forehead look at those lines on my

forehead that's that's how serious I am

about how bad it is it they're so beyond

pathetic at this point that it just

seems funny and my new favorite is Chris

Murphy because that guy doesn't look

genuine even a little bit he literally

just looks like a theater kid who's just

so happy he can do his you know he can

do his act on

TV anyway tariffs tariffs

tariffs uh Trump is doubling his tariffs

on China over the fenol

crisis I'm in favor of that I'm in favor

of uh pressing China in every way we can

I don't think that a tariff will end um

their fental practice because I think

their benefit is to Big it's a huge

burden on the United States they don't

care about our deaths and so clearly

strategically they're going to keep

doing it but there is one thing that

they do care about which is being shamed

on the public stage and by putting

gigantic tariffs on them because they're

sending fenel to us and we know they can

stop it

that is a way to shame them without just

getting in she's face we just say this

is going to stop we're going to press

every button and we're going to make a

lot of noise forever and it's going to

be one of the biggest things that

anybody thinks about when they think

about China so China if you want your

reputation to be that your drug

dealers you win because we're going to

make sure that your reputation is drug

dealers so if you want uh that to be

your brand uh Trump will be happy to

make that come true for you now that

might have some

power um not by itself so again you'd

have to add 20 variables to get any kind

of a deal that really stopped

fenel but I don't know if fentanyl can

be stopped but I do like the level of

effort that Trump's putting into

it meanwhile China is halting Imports of

us

logs and it's suspend suspending Imports

of our soybeans

no what what will happen to our logs and

our soybeans now of course these are

tragedies for the industries involved I

don't want to minimize it but the thing

you should

probably um

expect is that prices will go up in the

short term and the short term could be a

year but it might be more than a year

but everything he's doing collectively

makes sense in the long term and it's a

hard sell if you say to people hey I've

got an idea we're going to raise your

prices for the next year or two uh in

the worst possible way but when we're

done we're going to be in a solid ground

and prices will drift down and we need

to do this is the only way to survive

you can't really sell that because the

all the public would hear is what about

the price of my eggs okay I just said

they'd go up what about the price of my

gas well it might go up but the only way

we can get to a point where it's

domestic manufacturing and all the

things we need to uh reduce cost like

creating more energy the only way we get

there is through this hard road so we

got to do it well you can't really sell

that so um I expect it to get a little

worse before it gets better so that

would be the most natural

outcome Trump said he's considering a

free trade agreement with Argentina I

guess that means no tariffs and no

duties and no vat taxes so that would be

a big deal I can't imagine that M of

Argentina would say no to that because

he's a free market guy so is Trump so um

I like the fact that Trump is saying

this part of the world no

tariffs I like that a lot that's a

really good way to run a continent

well here's a seriously disturbing uh

note so representative Nancy mace who's

talked about this in public before so I

don't know the details but my

understanding is she was a victim of a

horrific sex related crime with multiple

people and maybe the suggestion that

there was a videotape so drugged raped

and videotaped now that's what people

are saying I don't know the details but

she said this in a post on X I

understand video or videos may have been

released via media Outlet tonight I hope

this warrants the state to search for

certain devices and certain tapes at a

certain

location

what is she suggesting that the crime

against her might be on video and that

somebody may be releasing it today now I

assume it' be you know censored at least

a little bit

but I got to say I certainly admire her

guts that the fact that she's taking

ownership of what had to be the most

horrific thing that ever happened to her

I'm guessing um the fact that instead of

just avoiding it or not talking about it

she's going right at it she wants you to

know what

happened and it looks like she wants you

to know who it was and I I feel like she

knows who it was but I I don't know if

she's for any reason decided not to talk

about it yet but if this video comes

out there will be faces on the screen

and they won't all be hers if it's if it

is her at all we're we're speculating

that's what it looks like well this is

funny uh according to Retro

Coast um when Doge tried to remove the

credit cards from government employees I

guess it was the Department of Defense

who was running up all kinds of

entertainment and Babs and travel on

their their government credit cards like

a lot like just totally under control uh

because nothing's audited seems like so

they tried to just remove the credit

cards from government employees but some

kind of federal judge blocked it so

instead of removing the credit cards

they just reset the limit to

$1 so they can keep their credit cards

but it's only $1 limit per month well

maybe just

$1 according to rasmason 61% believe

that an audit of the Social Security

System would reveal widespread fraud in

the program

61% that means there are

39% who don't expect widespread fraud in

our social security they are very

optimistic um in many ways that's the

best Doge endorsement you could get the

61% thinking audit of the Social

Security is going to find massive fraud

that is quite an

endorsement of the why don't you look at

everything and and find that fraud for

us so I like that meanwhile NASA

scientist according to brighter side of

news and Joseph shavit um the reporting

on a propellantless propulsion for

Rockets space rockets and propellantless

means it's not based on stuff explos put

in the Rocket's ass to drive it forward

or rather it generates thrust using

electric

Fields rather than expelling

Mass so the thinking is if they can

perfect this it would be just this

enormous Leap Forward in space travel

because you wouldn't need to have fuel

that you're burning it probably would be

easier to generate electricity which in

in turn would you know manipulate these

electric Fields so I think they

surprised themselves how well work all

right ladies and gentlemen that is what

I have for

today thank you for joining another

tight hour of fun I'm going to say hi to

the uh people on

locals privately but the rest of you

thanks for joining on Rumble and YouTube

and x and

locals coming at you in 30

seconds I'll definitely be watching the

President tonight uh I don't know if

I'll stream it probably

not
