Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even the International Space Station can imagine, all you need for that is a coffee mug or a glass or a tankard or a stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now.

The Rumble studio is working perfectly. All the platforms are in place. Everything's looking good. I had a good night of sleep. I think things are looking up. I do. But let's check on the news. Anything happening?

Well, here's some studies. According to Live Science, Drew Turney is writing about this: people find AI to be more compassionate than mental health experts. That's right. They did a study, and AI is more compassionate than mental health experts.

Now, the question that I have is, why is compassion always the right answer? If you have mental health problems, is compassion the right answer? And the reason I ask is because compassion is a reward, right? So if you want to do more of something, you would reward it. If you wanted to do less of something, you would starve it or penalize it.

So what happens when you say, "Doctor, I have this terrible problem," and the doctor says, "Oh, oh, maximum empathy. You have that problem. Oh, I feel so bad for you." Then don't you get a reward? So why would you fix your problem if you're being rewarded for it?

But sometimes, don't you think you need the tough love? Don't you think you need a kick in the ass sometimes more than you need compassion? How about, you know, I have no compassion for that. You need to just get your ass in gear. Maybe you need to go to the gym. Maybe you need to eat right and go to bed at 9:00 instead of 2:00 a.m. Maybe you should do the same thing that everybody else does to be happy. And maybe you can come back, and if none of that works, well, I've got a lot of compassion for you.

But I don't have any compassion for you if you're not doing the most obvious things in the world that everybody does to be happy, and you've decided not to do them, and then you're complaining to me. So I don't think compassion is always the right answer. I'm going to say the human might get the edge on this one. So too much compassion, bad. But some compassion, yes. Certainly there are problems where there's nothing you can do about it, and for that, maximum compassion. I'm all in for compassion on that.

Here's another study. According to the Daily Mail, Luke Schaefer is writing about this: doctors reveal the alarming reason why you should never, in capital letters, never go for long periods without sex. Did you know, and this is going to shock you, that people who go for long periods without sex, they're not as happy as people who have a lot of sex? Did you know that? Well, if you didn't know that, you could have just asked anybody.

I'll stick with my theme of asking Scott, but you didn't have to ask me. You could have just looked around and said, "Is anybody, any of you, have you not had sex in a long time? How do you feel about it? Are you satisfied? Do you feel like your life is complete?" No, didn't see that coming. I don't know how anybody could have ever predicted that not doing the one thing that you're biologically maximized to do, how could that make you unhappy? I don't know. So next time, just ask me. Just ask me. I could have saved you so much time.

Well, JD Vance is confident. He says that there'll be a deal for TikTok so that it can stay but we have a non-Chinese ownership. New York Post is reporting this, and he thinks there'll be some, quote, "high-level purchase of TikTok," and it could happen before April 5th. But you know, these big deals, they do take some time. So maybe he must know something we don't know. But he's, you know, JD Vance would understand this part of the world, so he's not like Mike Pence.

Think about JD Vance and analyzing the odds of TikTok being purchased by a bunch of investors. Think about his qualifications to talk about that topic, which are very high because he's been in that business, versus Mike Pence. What would Mike Pence have to say about this that we would care about? JD Vance is way more capable and, I think, ultimately powerful than we might be understanding right now. So he is really well poised for what comes next.

In other good news, it's so far a half good news. We expect more good news coming. But the SpaceX crew has docked with the International Space Station. Imagine if you were an alien and you were just reaching Earth's outer atmosphere and you're trying to observe what the locals are doing. And you say, "Wait, hold on. We see something happening up here in space. Oh, there they are. It looks like we see one of the people. They seem to be able to float in space, and they look kind of made of metal. Oh, here's another one. Oh, we're going to see a mating practice. I think they're mating. Oh, yep, they're mating. They're mating." No, they're not mating. They're just docking. It's called docking, not fucking. And that's the first step to rescue those stranded NASA astronauts.

So it seems to me that in normal times this would be one of the biggest stories in the whole country, and we'd be obsessed by it. And every time you turned on the TV, they'd say it's halfway done. The rescue is halfway done. Elon Musk is the hero that we needed. He's doing it with nothing in return. He's just amazingly created a company that can rescue astronauts in space when nothing else can do it.

Do you think that's what's going to happen, or will it be ignored because it's just so obviously positive, patriotic, inspirational? Yeah, I think it'll be a little bit ignored. Now, it won't be totally ignored. They'll report it as news, but I don't think they're going to be obsessing over how awesome it is. And if you don't mind, I'd like to obsess for just a moment. Now, they're not home yet, right? So they've done the hard part, which is the docking. I think that's the hard part. So we're hoping that the other part is just as successful. But can we just be impressed? Just be impressed for a moment. Just allow us to feel that at least some part of America can do something that's kind of awesome. So let's just enjoy it, and good luck to all of them, and looking forward to all of you returning.

Well, in a story that's almost the complete opposite, Joy Reid, who is, as you know, fired from MSNBC, according to Radar Online, who has an exclusive. They've got some kind of insider at MSNBC News who says that Joy Reid is really, really mad about getting fired, and she's ready to scream bloody murder. And she might have insight or knowledge about bad things that happened at MSNBC, and she might seek vengeance. She might seek vengeance.

Now, here's the funny part. Did MSNBC not see this coming? You know, I've wondered for a long time, like, why don't they get rid of her? It's so obvious that she's bad for their brand, I thought. And I thought, man, it's just taking forever for them to do the obvious, to improve that slot. And maybe now we know why. Maybe they were afraid that she would be completely unpredictable and be seeking vengeance and have all kinds of insight or knowledge so she could take down the entire network.

So how could MSNBC have seen this coming? Well, they could have asked me. I saw it coming. So did most of you. Could have asked anybody. But I think they knew it. Yeah, she looked like trouble.

So can you make a list of all the things that Scott would enjoy the most, and where would you put "Joy Reid destroys what's left of MSNBC"? Top 10, right? I mean, even if it's a long list of things that Scott would enjoy, top 10. So I've decided to go all in on supporting Joy Reid. Joy Reid, Joy Reid. It doesn't get any better.

Anyway, let's check on the color revolution that's totally not a color revolution. You know what a color revolution is. It's all the dirty tricks that the US uses to overthrow other countries, making it look like there's a groundswell for whoever we support, and there's action in the streets, and there's giant protests. But of course they're all organized and paid and completely artificial. And then we control their media so the media acts like the challenger that we want to be in office is the only one that can do the job, and the other one's a Nazi. Sound familiar?

Well, that's what's happening right now in the United States. But I asked Perplexity the AI. I said, given all the things that are happening, the protests and whatnot against Tesla, etc., are we experiencing a color revolution? And Perplexity said, oh no, no, no, I don't even know what you're talking about. So I guess not, right? Because AI couldn't identify it.

So it turns out that there are only totally organic protests about, in this case, Tesla. Because there are tons of young people who really, really care about the exact method that was used to reduce costs at the organization they've never heard of called USAID. These are the least organic protests I've ever seen. You thought Black Lives Matter looked a little suspicious. You thought Antifa looked a little suspicious.

The people who are hating the electric cars, the very same people who would have killed their own children to make sure there were lots of electric cars to save the planet, suddenly they just hate the electric cars and the person who's doing it. And boy, do they hate anybody who's trying to get rid of the waste and abuse and fraud. And then Reid Hoffman just went on Colbert, I think it was last night. Reid Hoffman on Colbert. Huh, what does that sound like? That sounds like somebody making sure that the media has a message that supports the protesters, exactly like a color revolution. That's exactly what you'd expect to see.

But at least you can trust Colbert not to be part of any kind of... okay, maybe you don't trust Colbert. So Colbert asked Reid Hoffman, "Hey, you know Elon Musk. What do you think about him doing all this DOGE cost-cutting?" And what did Reid Hoffman say? Well, he's smart enough. He's very smart to say, "Well, we like cutting the waste, of course, but we think that he could do it in a more compassionate and perhaps more legal way."

What's that sound like? That's what I call a generic complaint. You want to hear another generic complaint? It should have been done sooner. That's my ultimate ridiculous complaint. Well, it was a good idea, but it should have been done sooner. Okay, shut up. Well, it's a good idea, but it should have been done with more compassion. Shut up. Well, it's a good idea, but it should have been done with more attention to the legalities of it. Yeah, which would have stopped you from doing anything. Shut up.

These are such generic, stupid, ridiculous, pure propaganda complaints. Does anybody know that the compassionate method would have worked? Did we do a study? Is there a way to fire massive amounts of people and make them feel good about it? "Oh, we're going to take your job, but we'd like you to feel good about it." And although the people are not very compassionate, we have an AI you can talk to, and the AI has been proven to be more compassionate. So here's the AI. "Hey, AI, Elon Musk and his DOGE team just fired me." "Oh, that's bad. Oh, he should have been more compassionate." "But I am. I'm the AI." "Oh, that's terrible. Oh, what would you do? So bad. He's so uncompassionate. And I'm not even sure that it's all legal."

Oh, the AI would say, "Oh, that's so bad. It should have been done sooner, and it should be more legal and more compassionate." And by the way, I'm going to tell you something you've never heard before. Here's some advice you can take with you for the rest of your life. This will serve you really well. He should have used a scalpel instead of a chainsaw. Yeah, those are my generic complaints.

And by the way, it reminds me of Hitler. How exactly does it remind you of Hitler? Well, Hitler, maybe he owned a chainsaw. I don't think he did. It probably didn't own a chainsaw. But did he own a scalpel? No, he probably never owned a scalpel. See? So Hitler didn't own a scalpel, and Elon Musk is not using a scalpel. You see, right? Can you see? It's kind of obvious now. Everybody sees it now, right? There's no point in hiding it.

And there was also that time he raised his arm above his waist. Who does that? Hitler. Hitler does that. And by the way, Bill Burr says that was a Nazi salute. So if you can't believe Bill Burr, who's the biggest freaking idiot I've ever seen in my life, if you can't believe him when he interpreted something to be absolutely ridiculous, well, who can you believe?

Yesterday I saw the ultimate. It's almost like this Russian egg with an egg thing, where somebody said that Musk was a Nazi because he supported the far-right party in Germany and said that they're the only ones that could fix Germany. Now, I assume that that has something to do with immigration, that they must be opposed to mass immigration. So I assume that's what he meant, that they're the only ones that can stop Germany from just being overrun, becoming a different country.

So the allegation was that the far-right party in Germany is pro-Nazi and that Elon Musk was supporting them. So I mean, that's proof, right? That's proof he must be a Nazi because he's supporting a group that also is accused of being a Nazi. So I said, "Hey, AI Perplexity, can you give me some examples of what this far-right party is?" Because I've never weighed in one way or the other about German politics, but I thought, whoa, that's a pretty incendiary claim. So what would be some examples of this far-right party supporting Nazis?

And so it gave me examples, and listen to these chilling examples. There was the one time one person who was in the party said something that was similar to what the Nazis had once said, without giving me the example. What would be the example of what they once said that he also once said? Because I'm not positive, but I'll bet you people say a lot of things that Nazis once said. But don't we need some context? Don't I need an example?

Then there was some other individual. Now, keep in mind that these are not the party's platform, which has nothing to do with anything Nazi, but rather there were individuals who were blamed for saying something that reminded someone else, a critic. It reminded a critic of Nazis. Do you know what else reminds the left of Nazis? Everything. Everything. Everything reminds the left of Nazis.

So the other was some leader said that not every person who was in the SS was a criminal. So therefore he must be backing Nazis. To which I say, I'm going to need a little context on that one. Is it possible, and by the way, I'll be blamed for being a Nazi just for saying this, so I'm going to do it anyway because I don't give a... you know I don't care. Did it mean, and this is a question, not a statement, did it mean that there might have been some people who were just sort of pressed into it and didn't do anything especially illegal? They were just trying to stay alive and play along during, you know, was there somebody who was in the SS who basically was just doing the bookkeeping and didn't want to be there but it was easier than not? I don't know.

So wouldn't you like to know what that example was? So it sounded exactly like every leftist complaining about every Republican candidate for president. Every Republican candidate for president has been compared to a Nazi no matter what they did. Apparently it's just the same thing happening in Germany, that there's people who will say, "Hey, it looks like it's a sunny day." "Oh, does it look like a sunny day? Well, did you know what today is?" "No, I wasn't even thinking about the..." "Oh, it's Hitler's birthday. So you're saying that Hitler's birthday looks like a sunny day? You obvious Nazi."

And then you wipe your brow like this is terrible, and they say, "What? There it is. Your hand is above your waist." "Yeah, your hand was above your waist. That's called a Nazi salute." And you say, "But it wasn't. It wasn't. I was just wiping my brow because you made me so nervous." "No, no. First of all, Elon Musk supports you, and since he's a Nazi..." "Why do you say he's a Nazi?" "Well, obviously because he's supporting the Nazis." "But why do you say they're the Nazis?" "Because they say things that remind me of Hitler." "But wait, reminding you of Hitler is everything that happens every five minutes. Everything reminds you of Hitler. Why is that a standard for how somebody else is Hitler?" "Well, don't ask questions."

So the color revolution is on, and obviously the Tesla attacks are paid. Obviously. Does anybody doubt that? Is there anybody here who thinks that suddenly all the people who were pro-electric cars and afraid of climate change, that suddenly they completely changed their opinion because they really like the waste, fraud, and abuse? Or that they're really worried about the compassion of the people who are being fired from these ridiculous jobs where there should have been half as many people? Does anybody think this is genuine?

Does anybody think that the leftists woke up and said, "Wait a minute, he's using a chainsaw instead of a scalpel on things that have nothing to do with me, and I didn't even know existed"? Nobody cares about this. No. Well, the people who are getting fired care about their own lives, but nobody cares about it as a topic. Nobody cares about it as a political problem. It's basically every company.

Oh, this is the other thing. I think Reid Hoffman said that somehow Elon Musk didn't understand that the government is different from a private company. I think he understands that. Do you know who else understands it? Everybody. Everybody literally everybody in the whole freaking world knows that the government doesn't operate like a private company. Everybody knows that. So there's your generic complaints. Oh, he's not using a scalpel. It should have happened sooner. Oh, should have used more compassion. I'm not sure if it's all legal. No, none of it's organic. It's all performative.

By the way, have you noticed how many people are using the word "performative"? It's now completely part of the Republican, let's say MAGA, pro-Trump world. We're seeing nothing but performance. This is completely artificial. And do you know how I know it's artificial? Because nobody's asking enough questions.

Yeah, I saw one video where somebody talked to one protester and said, "Are you getting paid?" And then the one protester said, "Oh, yes, definitely being paid." But he might have been joking, meaning that it kind of looked like he might have been pranking, you know, just to send people off the scent. And don't you think that's the biggest question? Shouldn't the news be only about the organizers? Shouldn't they be talking to as many individual protesters as they can to find out, are you being paid?

Now, I'm a little suspicious of all the evidence that I'm seeing on social media that suggests they're being paid. I'm completely sure that these are not organic, but I worry that there might be some fake stories being planted that won't check out. So there's like, oh, here's this advertisement for protesters. And then you say, "Ah, there it is. There's an advertisement right in the newspaper for protesters," or online or something. And you go, "There it is. There it is. There's proof." And then later they say, "No, it wasn't. We made that up. That was just a meme. Somebody was just joking. You fell for it." Obviously it's not organized or paid for.

So I'm sure it's organized and paid for by all the usual bad guys who do color revolutions. I'm sure of that. These are fake. There's no way in the world that people organically decided that Teslas are bad and that Elon is a Nazi. Nobody would come to these opinions on their own by thinking through what they've seen. Nobody. This is purely brainwashing and/or follow the money, some combination of those two things.

Anyway, the swatting of conservatives continues and maybe even is increasing. And now that people have the idea, I suppose it'll be worse. I did see somebody did an analysis of the opinions about Ukraine that the people who got swatted had. So a lot of the people who got swatted seem to have a very clear anti-Ukraine messaging. And do you think that's what it is? Do you think it's entirely a Ukraine kind of a thing? I don't know. I'm going to say that is at least in my top three possibilities.

But don't you think the government should be trying to figure that out? It would make sense because it is a chilling thing. All right, so for example, if I knew that anybody who said anything bad about Ukraine was getting swatted, would it make me less likely to say something bad about Ukraine? Well, if I were normal, yes. But since I'm not normal, Ukraine, if you guys are doing this, we better not find out. You know what I mean? We better not find out.

Now, I'm not going to say that they're doing it because I don't have any evidence of that. But if that were to come out, oh my God, that would not be for free. If you think that's a free punch, you're going to have a real surprise coming because that's going to be super expensive for Ukraine and super dangerous, because we would drop support really quickly. So Ukraine, if it is you, you better rethink this really quickly now. And again, I don't have any evidence this is Ukraine, so I'm not accusing Ukraine whatsoever. But if any evidence arrived, that's going to be really dangerous for Ukraine, maybe worse than Russia attacking. It's going to be really bad. So make sure you're not doing that, Ukraine.

Anyway, what else is going on here? Randy Weingarten is still on TV doing her performative thing, which she does. Was Randy Weingarten ever like a theater major? Did she have any background in the theater? Because she really looks like an actress when she goes on TV. She emotes more than any normal person you've ever met. She puts on quite a show. So she's good at that, good at putting on a show, and obviously good at retaining power and maybe even really good for the teachers. I don't know. Maybe she's doing a good job for teachers, but it's not doing a good job for her students. That's not her job. Her job is not to make the students happy. It's to make the teachers happy and to make the Democrats happy.

But she's really mad, really mad. She's spitting mad, she says, about the Department of Education being wound down or decreased. Now, let me do a quick survey. Since there have already been some changes there, is anybody, does anybody have children that are getting dumber because the Department of Education is under attack? Anybody? Is there anybody who had children who used to be able to spell and do math but suddenly they can't? Is there anybody whose children benefited in any way from the Department of Education as far as you can tell? Is there anybody besides the people directly fired who, in all of the different government DOGE-related activities, is there anybody whose life has gotten worse because of anything that DOGE has done so far? I haven't felt the impact.

Now, obviously it's a big impact to the people losing jobs, but is it an impact to the rest of the country? Because unfortunately we do have a system where if things don't work, you lose your job even if you were doing a good job. So it's not an ideal system. You know, capitalism is a brutal system, and competition is brutal, and evolution is brutal, but it does get you to a better place in the larger picture, not in the micro picture.

Anyway, so yeah, Randy Weingarten, she's really mad about that Department of Education, which some say is just another tool of the Democrats and not really something that was helping anybody get a better education. That's what the critics would say.

Well, let's talk about climate change. Anthony Watts of Watts Up With That is writing about a New York Post story. So New York Post wrote a story about the sea level changes around our big cities. So apparently the sea level is relatively higher in New York City and San Francisco and Los Angeles and other cities. And it's based on two things. One, the sea level seems to be getting higher, but it's also because there's, what's the word they use, subsidence. Subsidence. And what it means is that if you put a big city next to the water, there's a real good chance that it will just start sinking over time.

Now, part of it is because of excessive groundwater extraction. So as the groundwater is reduced under the city, there's just less there holding it up, so it sinks. Some of it is infrastructure issues. I don't know what that means. Sediment compaction and tectonic shifts. But climate is not part of that story. So with or without climate change, a city that just happens to be a city could naturally sink, and we know exactly why, and not because of climate change.

But the story got sort of conflated with the climate change predictions to make it look like, sure enough, climate change predicted exactly this. But there's no evidence that climate change did anything. And indeed the change in sea level seems to be completely consistent with the last 100 years and not showing any signs that any kind of human activity in terms of climate change specifically had anything to do with anything.

So here's what I like to say after a story like that: wait until Democrats find out about climate models. Because at this point there's very little holding the entire Democrat Party together, but still one of them is climate change. Once they realize that the climate models are completely ridiculous and always have been and couldn't possibly have ever told you the future, what do they have left? I mean, there's not much left.

James Comer said the other day that they're doing some investigation into ActBlue. So ActBlue was the big organization that allegedly gets small donations from people and packages them up for Democrats. Now, that would be completely legal if that's all they were doing. But Comer and others and DOGE have seemed to discover that ActBlue might be involved in something far more nefarious. Comer goes so far as to say that the investigation that he's putting on into ActBlue will destroy the entire Democrat Party.

Now, that sounds like hyperbole. It's hard for me to believe it would destroy the whole Democratic Party. But he might know more than we know. He might know a little bit more about how deep this ActBlue thing goes. Because if it touches a lot of the leaders, and the leaders, let's say it could be demonstrated that the leaders knew exactly what was going on, that actually could destroy the entire Democratic Party.

So I feel like I would bet against it. No matter what happens to ActBlue, I feel like the Democrats are probably, "No, we didn't know anything about it. Nope, nope, surprise. You can't prove we knew anything about it." And maybe it will go away. But it could be such an important funding source that they might have a money problem, and maybe the money problem would be enough to give them a big problem. We'll see.

Anyway, Trump has ordered an attack on the Houthis. Now, if you're not keeping up with this, the Houthis are a group in Yemen, and they're right there by the Red Sea. And if you can't do shipping in the Red Sea area, you're going to have to go all the way around the Horn of Africa, which is really expensive. Your insurance rates for your shipping will go through the roof. And apparently American shipping has been targeted. It looks like some other countries perhaps have not been targeted. And we don't know if that's because they're allies of Iran that backs the Houthis, or is it possible that they're paying bribes? Because I learned today that the Houthis are blackmailing some of the shippers. So I'm guessing the Americans are not paying the bribe, and maybe some other countries are saying, you know what, we'll just pay the bribe because it's a lot cheaper than being attacked. So I don't know how that works.

But remember, I always tell you that the only thing that you can rely on that's real is that which predicts. Those things which predict the future accurately probably are telling you that there's something real. If something's an idea but it doesn't predict, probably wasn't real.

So one of the things that's interesting here is that Thomas Massie had made the following prediction, and he said it publicly. He said that, I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pullback in Ukraine. Oh, this is good. This is a very specific prediction. The military-industrial complex demands about 50 billion a year from our government above and beyond what's necessary to defend our country.

So immediately after we got out of Afghanistan, oh, look, we better pay a lot of money in Ukraine. And as we're winding down Ukraine, oh, look, coincidentally there's a brand new military conflict with the Houthis. Now, we've bombed them before or attacked them before, but not at scale. So I'm going to give Thomas Massie the win for the correct prediction right on schedule, another major military action.

Now, does that mean that we shouldn't do it? No, that's a separate question. But it also seems again to support Massie's prediction that there's always a reason, right? There's always a reason. The reason may not be one you agree with, but we always have a reason, some kind of reason. Oh, we better stop Russia there or it'll get worse. We better have a big... and we better do a lot in Afghanistan because that's where the terrorist training camps are. Their reasons, they're not crazy reasons. And attacking the Houthis, well, it's a really good reason. It's a really good reason.

But then Thomas Massie went further. He went to Grok, and he expressed in billions of dollars, list the five countries and five corporations that will benefit the most from the US military activity to eliminate shipping disruptions caused by the Houthis in the Red Sea. And according to Grok, the countries that would benefit the most are China, Saudi, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the US is not in the top five. And then of the corporations, none of the corporations are American, the top five.

So this would suggest that America is just sort of creating another reason to spend another 50 billion because the old reason is decaying, the Ukraine war, and they just need a new military-industrial complex war to keep selling weapons. Now, that's a pretty good prediction, so I take it very seriously.

On the other hand, I went to Perplexity the AI, and I asked the following question. So sort of an AI battle here. I said, Perplexity AI, what would be the change in inflation rates in the United States if the Houthi thing is not resolved? And according to Perplexity, our current inflation rate is around 3 percent, and that if things went the way they're going in the next year, the cost of shipping not just to the US but to other places that might end up as US products at some point, that our inflation rate from that alone could go from 3 percent to 5 percent in a year because the shipping cost would just be outrageous.

Now, do you believe that? Do you believe that Perplexity AI is a good source? Do you believe that when it says our inflation would go from 3 to 5 percent, which would be devastating, by the way, that would be a devastating economic problem. It's not just a little percentage going from 3 to 5 percent. That's pain. That's some serious pain. And that it would be by next year, which is pretty close.

So here's my take. I don't think you can trust the Perplexity estimate, but I also don't trust Grok's estimate because I don't think that it's understanding that some of those countries like China, I don't believe China is being attacked by the Houthis. And I'm not sure that Grok knew that. And I think that China is not being attacked by the Houthis because they have a better relationship with Iran, and Iran is running the Houthis. So I don't trust Grok on this question, and I don't trust Perplexity on this question.

But the thing we know for sure is it's really, really making our shipping prices go up. It's creating delays, long delays, and it's creating uncertainty. And so I am in favor of the attacks, but I'm not in favor of the attacks if they have a pinprick. Hey, if we'll stop doing this or we'll come back. We almost have to completely destroy every technological capability they have back to the point where you just severely destroy that part of the country. If you don't go that far, I think we can say for sure it won't make any difference. They'll just reconstitute and get new weapons from Iran. And as long as there's anybody alive, Iran will say, "Are you still alive?" "Yes, I am." "Would you like something to do, and maybe you'll make some money too?" "I don't have any other options." "Okay, here's some missiles and some drones. Just send these at American shipping."

You almost have to get to the point where there's nobody left. Now, I'm not in favor of genocide, but how else is it going to stop? And do we have a legitimate self-defense? I think it's legitimate. And unfortunately it's a part of the world where if anybody's left, they'll keep fighting. It's not like traditional enemies of our past where if you give them a really serious black eye, they'll say, "Okay, I don't want to do that again. So let's work something out." It will never be like that. It will never be like that. If there's anybody left, that one person will be firing a missile.

So I don't want to say that I'm in favor of just wiping out the entire civilization, but what's the other way that works? Can anybody give me a better idea? Because here's what we can't do. We can't surrender in the Red Sea. We can't surrender. So I think that they get to choose whatever outcome they want. And the outcome that they seem to have chosen is complete destruction of their own civilization. I feel like it's just their own choice. And I feel like if they need some compassion, they should talk to AI because I don't have any.

And if they want to kill all of their children by screwing with shipping to the point where it just makes sense for the people who don't want to be killed to kill all of their children, I'm not in favor of it, but I'm not the one choosing it. I'm not choosing it. That is their own choice. And if Trump wants to deliver to them exactly what they've chosen, I'm not going to complain too much.

All right. Meanwhile, Trump has ordered the shutdown of something called the U.S. Agency for Global Media. Now, that was the entity that oversaw the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty. So these are all the media broadcasting things that we would broadcast propaganda, but it was left-wing propaganda from the United States. It was sort of anti-conservative. So if we had a conservative allied country, we were even working against our own allies because they might have been more conservative. And the radio was propaganda that was more left-leaning.

Now, Carrie Lake had been put in charge of, I'm a little unclear if she was in charge of Voice of America or the entire agency. They had some other entities. But she did a video today. By the way, if she's in charge of the entire thing, we'll figure that out by the end of the show. She's doing a great job because the whole idea was, you know, get in there and find out if any of this makes sense to keep alive. And it looks like she has decided that at least to a large extent it doesn't need to exist.

And she did a video today about a brand new, really expensive-looking building that was built for this entity that's empty. And I guess the plan was to move from the existing building to this building. But as she points out, this new building, it's empty, and they would spend a quarter of a billion dollars per year on an empty building. And they could have just fixed up the building they were in. And now I think that option is going to go away, and there won't be anybody to be in any building because it just wasn't a good enough reason.

So yes, it does look like this was yet another situation in which there was enough oversight, and probably a lot of money got pushed to cronies and friends and well-connected people to build a building that didn't need to be built. And maybe it wouldn't have made sense if we'd all known what was going on. So good job, Carrie Lake.

Mike Benz is having the time of his life, I think, watching DOGE uncover all the things that he's been warning us about, but we didn't quite understand. We couldn't kind of conceive of the larger picture because it's just so large, and you really have to wallow in it to get any sense of what's really going on. But here's a little sample from Mike Benz. Apparently USAID gave George Soros's Open Society Foundation five million dollars for its NGOs. So Soros had some NGOs in a little country called Macedonia that has fewer than two million people in it. And the money was going to create, to train citizens with a little booklet that would train them to protest using Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. You know what that is, right?

So American activist Saul Alinsky had his own book, Rules for Radicals, and it teaches you to do things like, oh, I don't know, organize protests against Tesla. Sound familiar? And mock people and call them communists. Sound familiar? Or call them Nazis. Sound familiar? So apparently we were spending our money to train people in Macedonia to use Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. That's right. We gave money to a billionaire to teach an Eastern European country how to do a rent-a-riot. Rent-a-riot, which is exactly what you're seeing happening with the Tesla protest. It's just a rental riot.

By the way, Cernovich had an interesting observation today on X. He said, remember when the quote smart people who write about politics for a living were saying the January 6 pardons were a huge deal and really would hurt Trump? LMFAO. He says, remember when those people, remember that those people are losers. They don't leave their bubbles. They are always wrong. Keep pushing. That's a really good observation.

I have to admit that when the January 6 pardons happened, which I was fully in favor of and fully in favor of pardoning everybody, didn't care what they did, so I'm all in on that completely. But I did worry that maybe it would create a weakness that would be exploited by the left to say, there you see, those pardons. But it's been weirdly quiet. And I think it's because partly because so many things are happening so quickly that the Democrats could never really aim at anything. If it had been the only thing that happened and there had never been a DOGE, it probably would have been a target. Maybe it would have made more difference politically. But now it just seems like it was 10 years ago. You know, we're all on Trump time. You know, every Trump year is seven years. And I'm thinking to myself, like, who would care about the January 6 pardons? Wasn't that at least seven years ago? Almost can't remember them. And it became so small looking in hindsight.

But also here's what I wonder, and maybe this is something the Trump administration needs to look into, but I don't know how they could because this would be totally a state's issue. Who gets to control the history books about January 6? In other words, will the children of, let's say, a year from now or two years from now, are they going to learn that there wasn't an attempt to overthrow the country by Republicans on January 6? Is that what the history books will say? Because it's not true. Or will they say that the protesters were trying to save the country from what they thought was an obvious insurrection by the left, and they were trying to make sure that the election had not been rigged because it certainly looked like it had? Or will the history book say, well, there are two points of view on this. Some people say this, some people say that.

I don't remember history books ever doing that. Do you remember any history that you've ever read where the history was, well, you know, some interpreted it this way, some interpreted it that way? No, they just sort of told you what happened, and then you got tested on it. So what are they going to tell your children what happened? And does the federal government have any way to control that, or should they? Maybe the federal government should stay out of it, but the state government gets to buy the textbooks, right? So the market will decide. And so if the state government in blue states decides, oh, we'll buy these textbooks to say Republicans are the devil, then they will. And if Texas and Florida say, get those textbooks out of here because we're not going to sell propaganda to our children, well, then that's what'll happen in those states.

So I feel like we're at the verge of having two different histories, a blue state history and a red state history. And I don't know, does the federal government have anything to say about that? Should they? I don't know. I don't have an answer for this one. It's just a big problem if we can watch history being written incorrectly right in front of us. And I think that's going to happen.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, a truly scary thing happened. So Mexican authorities found some kind of fairly huge crematorium for getting rid of people. Now, I can't tell if it was for cremating people who were already dead or the worst thing, that maybe that's how they killed those people. But apparently they just found hundreds of shoes and clothing, meaning that there were hundreds of people involved. And there are human bones. And obviously it was a cartel operation in the western state of Jalisco. And it might be the Jalisco cartel. I don't know, maybe that's right.

But here's the big picture. Apparently there are 120,000 what are called forcibly disappeared people in Mexico. 120,000. Now, this is over multiple years, of course, but there are 120,000 people who presumably were rounded up by cartels and just disappeared. Well, for that volume, you would have to have some way to get rid of a lot of bodies. And horribly, this might be how they did it. Incredible.

Anyway, you heard about the activist judge, an Obama appointee, of course, who said that Trump can't use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to get rid of the Venezuelan gangs. So apparently there was some kind of old law on the books that Trump was using to say, all right, you can deport all these gang members. And some of them were already on planes. And this judge said, nope, you got to take at least a 14-day pause. So it's a pause. I guess they got 14 days to work it out, and even to the point of telling the airplanes to turn around if they were in the air.

Now, I'm getting just exhausted in talking about all the bad judges and the lawfare and how they're trying to stop Trump in every single thing he does because they all sound the same. Trump tried to do something that's common sense and good for the country. An Obama or Biden-appointed judge stopped him for reasons that sound ridiculous. But eventually a higher court overturned that stupid judge, and then we're back in business. But here's a new challenge from a new Obama-appointed judge and a new problem, and then you just rinse and repeat. So they all started sounding the same after a while.

But a related wrinkle is that Marco Rubio is reporting, he said we have sent two dangerous top MS-13 leaders plus 21 of its most wanted back to face justice in El Salvador. And so we've got a deal worked out with El Salvador where we sent 250 members of this Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador, which has agreed to hold them in the El Salvador jails at a fair price. So we're saving money and getting them held in a secure facility with a friendly country. And Secretary Rubio says that President Bukele of El Salvador is not only the strongest security leader in our region, he's also a great friend of the US. Thank you.

Now, I got to say this Bukele guy, he does some amazingly smart things. And one of the amazingly smart things is this, simply offering to use their existing facilities to handle some of the worst people. And I don't think we asked him. I think he volunteered it, which is such a strong move. It would be one thing if we tried to lean on them a little bit and said, well, you know, we're like your big brother, so maybe you should do us a solid. All right, if I have to. That's so different than we don't know, we've got this problem, we don't know how to solve it. And then he raises his hand and says, I have a solution. I can save you some money and take care of this completely. And then he does. That is so baller. And the fact that Rubio says he's the strongest security leader in our region, did that include the United States? Did he just say that El Salvador's better in security than the United States? Because I wouldn't disagree. You know, we're trying to catch up, but that's a hell of a thing.

Anyway, according to Todd Lyons, who's the acting director of ICE, apparently Biden was cooking the books on his ICE arrests. Oh, big surprise. How many people didn't know that Biden was lying about the numbers? Of course he was. But one specific way he was lying is that they were categorizing people that they processed and then released into the interior of the United States as ICE arrests. Does it count as an ICE arrest if all you do is release them into the United States? To me that would be called ICE not doing his job or ICE not arresting them. But if they were technically arrested and then they were processed and then released without any penalty into the United States, I'm not sure I would call that an ICE arrest. But Biden did. Look at all those arrests we're doing.

Anyway, Mario Nawfal was reminding us of this story. Then do you remember that one of the smartest people for the Democrats, one of their geniuses called James Carville, who's even smarter than Bill Burr, barely. No, I'm joking. Carville's actually pretty smart. But he did realize that the Democrats have no skill and no leadership and no plan. So he came up with the genius idea of doing nothing. We're going to call it the playing possum strategy.

Well, here's what you should do since we don't have anybody who can do anything useful and we don't have any leaders, we don't have anybody with charisma, we don't have anybody who's got good policies, and we don't have anybody who's not a complete loser. So what we're going to do is we're going to play dead. In about 30 days the media will pick apart whatever Trump is doing, so his popularity will plunge. So just do nothing because the more you do something, the stupider we look. So stop doing something. Every time you do something, you look stupid. Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Schumer. He had a point. The people that the Democrats were putting out front, not really the best look. Not really the best look.

So in sort of a I've given up all hope, he decided that if they just did nothing, that might be their best play. So let's check in on that. It's been about 30 days, and Rasmussen just did a poll and found out his approval is 52 percent, the same as I think he's at a high point. So Trump's success according to Rasmussen is at a high point.

Now, if any of you are polling nerds, if you've ever heard how the left talks about the Rasmussen poll, do you know what they say about him? So the Rasmussen poll is often let's say a different result than the bulk of the other polls that lean left. So the ones that lean left say, oh, the Rasmussen poll, come on, you can't take them seriously because they're right-leaning. You know, as if the others are not left-leaning. So you can't take them seriously because they have this pro-Republican bias. And by the way, we have questions about their methodology.

Now, since you and I are not pollsters, we don't really know what that means. Like, what's wrong with their methodology? Why is your methodology right and theirs wrong? But here's what they leave out. Rasmussen consistently does better whenever you could check. So one of the ways that you could check, well, let me give you an example of something you can't check. If you are six months away from an election and Rasmussen says the Republicans are doing well, but all the left polls say, well, not that well, the Republicans are actually a little underwater, you can't really check because the only thing you'd have to check are other polls. So you don't have a result. You just have something that pollsters disagree.

The only time you can really know if the pollsters are good or bad is on Election Day. So if you were to check the Election Day presidential results of Rasmussen versus all the other pollsters, where do you think Rasmussen would be? Right near the top. So whenever you can check, okay, now we know for sure because we have the actual vote. Rasmussen, I think they got the last three, one of the best for the last three. So whenever you see that complaint, just remind yourself, whenever you can't check, they'll say, oh, you can't trust them. They've got bias. They've got this methodology that we criticize. Whenever you can know who was right, there they are. And they're reminding people of that fact this week. So it's kind of fun to watch.

Anyway, but how are the Democrats doing? Apparently there's a new survey that the Democrat favorability is at a new record low of 29 percent. So you know how the midterm elections pretty much always historically have gone against whoever the incumbent president is. So if the president's Republican, you can largely depend historically speaking that the midterm elections would put more Democrats in charge and they would have some control of at least one part of Congress. This might be the first time that doesn't happen because that is such a bad branding for the Democrats. It would be hard to imagine that they could somehow keep the historical norm and gain power compared to the president when I feel like DOGE is going to keep getting more popular the more corruption they find. So we'll see.

Meanwhile, over in Israel, their defense minister says that they're only a year away from deploying what they call the Iron Beam. It's this giant laser air defense system. It's supposed to be operational by the end of this year actually, so less than a year. And here's what that means in terms of cost. So the existing Iron Dome systems fire basically a missile to stop another missile or to stop a drone. But every time you fire a missile, it's really expensive. So it might be like 40 to 50,000 dollars every time the Iron Dome sends up an intercept. 50,000 for every intercept, and there would be a lot of them. So it gets really expensive really quickly.

But let's compare that to what it would cost per shot for this new laser system, closer to three dollars. Three dollars compared to 40 to 50,000. Three dollars per shot. So they could spend three dollars to knock down the enemy's far more expensive missile. Now, apparently it's not perfect. If the weather is a certain way, it's not going to work as well. So we'll see about that. You know, maybe they need both because if the weather is bad, they need a different system. Maybe the lasers are strong enough or will improve enough that they can just zip right through the fog and burn the fog out of the way before it hits the target. Maybe.

But if this thing works, I'd like to order a hundred of them. I don't know what the base units cost, so it's probably pretty expensive to get the base unit. But once you've got that, three dollars per shot, that's amazing.

You should read my book God's Debris: The Complete Works because the middle book of the trilogy, if you can call it that, is about a future in which this sort of missile defense was already implemented. But in the book, there were some of them that were implemented on sea platforms because you want to stop the missile well before it reaches your shores. So you'd put the platform well off the coast so it could get them as early as possible before they reach the coast. And then, well, I won't tell you. It's a great book. You should read it. It's called God's Debris: The Complete Works. Just check out the ratings and the reviews online. You're going to see some reviews that just blow your mind. Some of the best reviews for a book you'll ever see.

Meanwhile, according to Reuters, let's talk about Ukraine. Macron of France declared that Russia has no say in whether NATO troops enter Ukraine because Russia wants to have no kind of European peacekeepers in Ukraine. But Britain and France are thinking about putting some there. And Macron wants to know that it's just up to Ukraine. If Ukraine wants some European peacekeepers, that's up to Ukraine.

To which I say, what would Trump's plan be for keeping Ukraine safe? Is it only the mineral deals? Like if we have enough economic entanglements, Russia won't attack? Or does it trust that Russia won't attack as long as Trump's in office, and maybe that could extend to hypothetically a JD Vance administration? Is that the only thing we'd be depending on, the personal connection? What would it be?

Now, when I said something like this online and somebody said, why do you think it's the United States' obligation to protect Ukraine? And I said, I didn't say that. Where did I say it's our obligation to protect Ukraine? I've never said that. What I do think is if you want a durable peace deal, it should make sense to the people involved. And it's definitely in the United States' benefit to end a war and get out of that region and just say, all right, we're done, and we ended a war, and we're not in favor of wars. That's good. Especially if it prevents some future Democrat from spending another hundred billion dollars right back in Ukraine. So we do have an interest in unwinding our entanglement. And that might require both sides thinking that the deal makes sense.

So what would be Trump's response to, well, if Ukraine wants these peacekeepers, of course that would prevent any kind of a peace deal. But what would Trump do? I think he needs to make a better case for why Ukraine would be safe because I think that's missing now. I think he could do it. I think there's room there to do it. But I'd like to hear it. I'd like to hear a little more. You know, what would Ukraine do to protect themselves? Now, some of it might be we'll send Ukraine more drones. I don't know. Does that count as the same thing as boots on the ground? I don't know. But I'd love to know if Trump has a more innovative, out-of-the-box concept for this because he might. I suspect he has an answer, but maybe it's just not revealed to us in full. So we'll see.

Apparently there's a bill being introduced now by US Representative Riley Moore, West Virginia, and it's a bill to ban Chinese nationals from getting student visas. So there are about 300,000 Chinese nationals. So they're not American citizens. They're Chinese, and they come to the United States for student visas. Now, my understanding is that the reason that our universities like to have foreign students is that they pay full price, and so it basically subsidizes the college. And the American students often have scholarships and stuff like that, so they just make more money on the foreign students.

But I'm in favor of this. I would have tied it to fentanyl though. You've heard me say it before that we should just send home a handful of Chinese students for every day that there's a fentanyl death. So I would tie it to fentanyl, but I like where he's coming from.

Meanwhile, Gateway Pundit is reporting that Trump revoked the security clearances for yet another law firm, the Paul Weiss law firm. And suffice to say that this law firm has done a number of things that seemed politically biased and or inappropriate to Republicans. And one of them was, I'll just give you one example. Back in 2021, one of the partners in that law firm did a pro bono lawsuit against patriots on the January 6 day. So it was somebody who didn't even charge money to put together lawsuits against the protesters on January 6. Now, I assume it was the protesters who maybe did some violence or something, but that would be part of the complaint is that they were politically biased.

Now, I don't know too much about the law firm, so I don't have an opinion about whether they should be cut off from any kind of government contracts and also gets rid of their security clearance. So it would be a pretty big deal.

But here's my take on this. Do you remember the time when Trump couldn't get good lawyers to defend him against massive waves of lawfare? And it was because the lawyers were afraid that if they got political, meaning just defending Trump, that it would cost them later. The law firm would suffer, and they wouldn't be able to get regular clients. And that was a big problem. And I thought to myself, that's one of the worst things I've ever seen. That you create lawfare for a candidate, that's already as bad as you can get. And then you make it impossible for that person to get good representation.

Now, I think Trump ultimately got great representation because he did navigate the lawfare stuff really well. So I'm no lawyer, but just judging it from a lay person's perspective, it feels to me that the legal team that Trump eventually put together while he was out of office, I think they were great. Does anybody have a disagreement with that? The fact was that what they needed to do was stall and minimize the damage and play for him to get reelected basically so that the rest of it could go away. So I feel like they did a great job.

Now, I don't know if this will hurt them in the future if they can't get regular jobs again. But the fact that there was ever that much pressure on lawyers who were going to help Trump, I can't feel any sympathy for him getting revenge now. I'm sure they don't call it revenge. They call it something like getting rid of bias in the legal process or something like that. But I don't think it would happen if they hadn't gone after Trump. So there is a price. Yeah, the lawyers that help Trump are probably redlisted. That's probably true.

So as long as that's true, mutually assured destruction has been activated. And I can't say that I'm opposed to it. I hate that we're in this situation. So I hate that lawyers had pressure not to help Trump, and I also hate that there's pressure against anybody for what they did politically. So I can hate both of it. But it does look like mutually assured destruction has kicked in, and I don't hate that. I don't hate that because sometimes it's just the only thing you can do. So I don't know that that can get us to a good place where people can just be lawyers and there's no lawfare. But as long as there's lawfare and there's redlisting of people who help Republicans, then I think Republicans have a free pass to destroy every law firm that they can that had some hand in it. I hate it. I hate the whole thing. I hate it from top to bottom. But sometimes you got to pull a tooth.

Anyway, according to NeoScape and writer Nell's, that over in Great Britain they've come up with an mRNA technology. Stop it. Listen. That has proven effective. Well, no, take that part away. They've created a vaccine for cancer using the mRNA platform. Now, apparently they're getting some kind of good indications that it works. I don't have any information that says it cured anything, but it must be curing something because they're pretty happy with it, and they're taking it wider now.

Apparently what it does is you have to take a biopsy, and you have to adjust the what they call a vaccination. Why do they call it a vaccination? It doesn't vaccinate because you've already got the cancer by the time you take it. I don't know. So I guess that word vaccination is getting kind of overused. But they'll take the specific cancer from a specific person. So it's not even just the type of cancer. It's got to be specific to the person. And then they design their quote vaccination around that specific one. And they think it's going to have great promise.

Now, I'd love to hear, was there anybody who had an incurable cancer that's already been cured? Or did it just slow it down a little bit? Or did it only work on cancers that maybe there was some other treatment too, but they think this would be maybe gentler? I don't know. So I have many, many questions. But it sounds promising.

Now, if you're going to say to me, but Scott, if they get the mRNA, it's going to cause other problems with them. I don't think the people who are dying of cancer are worried too much about that. So that certainly changes. It's not like COVID where you could say to yourself, all right, COVID barely killed anybody, so you don't want to take a chance on the treatment. But if the cancer is going to kill everybody, let's say it's the kind where there's no treatment, then I don't know. Certainly the risk profile changes completely, right? What are your other options? Is there a second way to cure an incurable cancer? If this cures any incurable cancer, and again they don't say that, but they're sort of leaning in that direction. If it cures any incurable cancer, I think the last thing the patient's going to be worrying about is that they got some mRNA badness in their body, whatever that is. So we'll see. Good luck with that. Sooner the better.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's what I got for you today. It's a fun Sunday. The news is all kind of interesting, but I think things are heading in the right direction. Things are heading in the right direction. So thanks for joining. I'm going to say a few words privately to the people on Locals. The rest of you on X and Rumble and YouTube, thanks for joining. We'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place. YouTube, I'm sorry, Locals coming at you.

of you want to see a show hands up all right all right it looks like it's unanimous then we'll do a show but I'm going to have to look at your comments you know I love them let me get that going here there we go how do I look is my t-shirt all nice and pressed good good good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even the International Space Station can imagine all you need for that is a CER mugger a glass of tankered shell suin a canteen jugg or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopam of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called that's right it's called the simultaneous zp and it happens right now go well the rumble studio is working perfectly all the platforms are on in place everything's looking good I had a good night of sleep I think things are looking up I do but uh let's check on the news anything happening well here's some studies um people find According To Live Science Drew tney is writing about this people find AI to be more compassionate than mental health experts that's right they did a study and AI is more compassionate than mental health experts now the question that I have is is why is compassion always the right answer if you have mental health problems is compassion the right answer and the reason I ask is because compassion is a reward right so if you want to do more of something you would reward it if you wanted to do less of something you would starve it or penalize it so what happens when you say say doctor I have this terrible problem and the doctor says oh oh maximum empathy you have that problem oh I feel so bad for you then don't you get a reward so why would you fix your problem if you're being rewarded for it but sometimes don't you think you need the tough love don't you think you need a kick in the ass sometimes more than you need compassion how about you know I have no compassion for that uh you need to just get your ass in gear maybe you need to go to the gym maybe you need to eat right and go to bed at 9:00 instead of 2: a.m.

maybe you should do the same thing that everybody else does to be happy and maybe you can come back and if none of that works well I've got a lot of compassion for you but I don't have any compassion for you if you're not doing the most obvious things in the world that everybody does to be happy and you've decided not to do them and then you're complaining to me so I don't think compassion is always the right answer I'm going to I'm going to say the human might get the edge on this one so too much compassion bad but some compassion yes certainly there are problems where there's nothing you can do about it and for that maximum compassion I'm all in for a compassion on that all here's another study according to the Daily Mail Luke schaer is writing about this uh doctors reveal the alarming reason why you should never in capital letters never go for long periods without sex did you know and this is going to shock you that people who go for long periods without sex they're not as happy as people as people have a lot of sex did you know that well if you didn't know that you could have just asked anybody uh I I'll stick with my theme of asking Scott but you didn't have to ask me you could have just looked around and said is anybody uh any of you have you not had sex in a long time how do you feel about it are you are you satisfied do you feel like your life is complete no didn't see that com I don't know how anybody could have ever predicted that not doing the one thing that you're biologically maximized to do uh how could that make you unhappy I don't know so next time just ask me just just ask me I could have saved you so much time well JD Vance is confident he says that there'll be a deal for Tik Tock so that it can stay but we have a non-chinese ownership New York Post is reporting this and he thinks there'll be some quote high level purchase of Tik Tock and it could happen before April 5th um but you know these big Deals they do take some time so maybe maybe he must know something we don't know but he's you know JD Vance would understand this part of the world so he's not like Mike Pence think about JD Vance uh and analyzing the you know the odds of Tik Tock being purchased you know by a bunch of investors you know to think about his qualifications to talk about that topic which are very high because he's been in that business uh versus Mike Pence what would Mike Pence have to say about this that we would care about JD Vance is way more capable and uh I think ultimately powerful than we might be understanding right now so he he is really well poised for you know what comes next in other good news it's uh so far it's a half good news we expect more good news coming but the SpaceX crew has docked with the International Space Station imagine if you were an alien and you were you were just reaching Earth's uh you know outer atmosphere and you're trying to observe what the locals are doing and you say wait hold on we see something happening up here in uh in the space Oh there they are it looks like we we see one of the people uh they they seem to be able to float in space and they look kind of made of metal oh here's another one oh we're going to see a mating practice I I think they're mating oh yep they're mating they're mating no they're not mating they're just docking it's called docking not fuing and uh that's the first step to rescue those stranded NASA astronauts so it seems to me that in normal times this would be one of the biggest stories in the whole country and we'd be obsessed by it and every time you turned on the T they'd say it's halfway done the rescue is halfway done Elon Musk is the hero that we needed he's doing it with you know nothing in return he's he's just amazingly created a company that can rescue astronauts in space when nothing else can do it do you think that's what's going to happen or it will it be ignored because it's just so obviously positive patriotic inspirational yeah I think it'll be a little bit ignored now it won't be totally ignored they'll report it is news but I don't think they're going to be obsessing over how awesome it is and if you don't mind I'd like to obsess for just a moment now they're not home yet right so they're they've done the hard part which is the docking I think that's the hard part um so we're hoping that you know the other part is just as as successful but can we just be impressed just be impressed for a moment just just allow us to feel that at least some part of America can do something that's kind of awesome so let's just enjoy it and uh good luck to all of them and uh looking forward to all of you return well in a in a story that's almost the complete opposite uh Joy Reed who is as you know fired from MSNBC according to Radar Online who has an exclusive they've got some kind of Insider at MSNBC news who says that Joy Reed is really really mad about about getting fired and she's ready to scream bloody murder and uh she might have Insight or knowledge about bad things that happened to MSNBC and uh see uh she's uh she might seek Vengeance she might seek Vengeance now here's the funny part did MSNBC not see this coming you know I've wondered for a long time like why don't they get rid of her it just it's so obvious that she's bad for their brand I thought and I thought man it's just taking forever for them to do the obvious you know to to improve that slot and uh maybe now we know why maybe they were afraid that she would be completely unpredictable and be seeking Vengeance and have all kinds of insight or knowledge so she take down the entire the entire network so how could MSNBC have seen this coming well they could have asked me I saw it coming so did most of you could have asked anybody but I think they knew it yeah she looked like trouble so can you can you make a list of all the things that Scott would enjoy the most and where would you put Joy Reed destroys what's left of MSNBC top 10 right I mean even if it's a long list of things that Scott would enjoy top 10 so I've decided to go all in on supporting Joy Reed Joy Reed Joy Reed it doesn't get any better anyway let's check on the color Revolution that's totally not a color Revolution you know what a color Revolution is it's all the dirty tricks that the US uses to overthrow other countries um you know making it look like there's a ground swell for whoever we support and there's action in the streets and there's giant protests but you know of course they're all organized and paid and you know completely artificial and then we control their media so the media acts like the the Challenger that we want to be in office is the only one that can do the job and the other one's a Nazi sound familiar well that's what's happening right now in the United States but I asked perplex the AI I said given all the things that are happening the protests and whatnot against Tesla Etc I said uh are we experiencing a color Revolution and perplexed he said oh no no no I I don't even know what you're talking about so I guess not right because ai ai couldn't identify it so it turns out that there are only uh totally organic protests about in this case uh Tesla because there are tons of young people who really really care about the exact method that was used to reduce costs at the organization they' never heard of called usaid These are the least organic protests I've ever seen you you thought the black lives matter looked a little suspicious you thought antifa looked a little suspicious the people who are hating the electric cars the very same people who would have killed their own children to make sure there were lots of electric cars to save the planet suddenly they just hate the electric cars and the person is doing it and boy did they hate anybody who's trying to do get rid of the the waste and uh abuse and fraud and then Reed Hoffman just went on Cole bear I think it was last night Reed Hoffman on Cole bear huh what does that sound like that sounds like somebody making sure that the media has a message that supports the protesters exactly like a color Revolution that's that's exactly what you'd expect to see but you know at least you can trust Co bear not to be part of any kind of what okay maybe you don't trust Co bear so Cole bear asked uh Reed Hoffman hey you know you know Elon Musk what what do you think about him doing all this Doge cross cutting and what did Reed Hoffman say well he's smart enough he's very smart to say well we like you know cutting the waist of course but we we think that he could do it in a more compassionate and perhaps more legal way what's that sound like that's what I call a generic complaint you want to hear another generic complaint it should have been done sooner that's my ultimate My ultimate ridiculous complaint well it was a good idea but it should have been done sooner okay shut up well it's a good idea but it should have been done with more compassion shut up well it's a good idea but it should have been done with more attention to the legalities of it yeah which would have stopped her from doing anything shut up these are such generic stupid ridiculous pure propaganda complaints does anybody know that the compassionate method would have worked did we do a study that is there a way to fire massive amounts of people and make them feel good about it oh we're we're going to take your job uh but we'd like you to feel good about it and although the people are not very compassionate we we have an AI you can talk to and the AI has been proven to be more compassionate so here's the AI hey AI Elon Musk and his doge team just fired me oh oh that's bad oh he should have been more compassionate but I am I'm the AI oh that's terrible oh what would you do so bad he's so incompassion and and I'm not even sure that it's all legal oh oh the AI would say oh that's so bad it it should have been done sooner and it should be more legal and more compassionate and by the way I'm going to tell you something you've never heard before here's some advice you can take with you for the rest of your life this will serve you really well he should have used a scalpel instead of that's right a chainsaw yeah those are my generic complaints and by the way it reminds me of Hitler uh how exactly does it remind you of Hitler well Hitler um he maybe he uh he uh he owned a chainsaw I don't think he did it probably didn't own a chainsaw he uh but did he own a scalpel no he probably never owned a scalpel see see so Hitler didn't own a scalpel and Elon Musk is not using a scalpel you see right can you see it's kind of obvious now everybody sees it now right there's no point in hiding it and there was also that time he raised his his arm above his waist who does that Hitler Hitler does that and by the way Bill Burr says that was a Nazi salute so if you can't believe Bill Burr who's the biggest freaking idiot I've ever seen in my life if you can't believe him when he interpreted something to be absolutely ridiculous well who can you believe yesterday I saw the the ultimate um it's almost like this Russian egg egg with an egg thing where somebody said that uh musk was a a Nazi because he supported the far right um party in Germany and said that they're the only ones that could fix Germany now I assume that that has something to do with immigration that they're they must be opposed to mass immigration so I assume that's what the what he meant that they're the only ones that can stop Germany from just being overrun becoming a different country so um so the allegation was that the far- right party in Germany is pro-nazi and and that uh Elon Musk was supporting him so I mean that's proof right that's proof he must be a Nazi because he's supporting a group that also is accused of being a Nazi so I said hey AI perplexity can you give me some examples of what this far- right party is because I've never I've never weighed in one way or the other about German politics but I thought whoa that's a that's a pretty incendiary claim so what would be some examples of this far right party supporting Nazis and so it gave me examples and and listen to these chilling examples there was the one time one person who was in the party said something that was similar to what um the Nazis had once said without giving me the example what would be the example of what they once said that he also once said because I'm not positive but I'll bet you people say a lot of things that Nazis once said but don't we need some context don't I need an example then there was uh some other individual now keep in mind that these are not these are not the parties platform which has nothing to do with anything Nazi but rather there were individuals who were blamed for saying something that reminded someone else a Critic it reminded a Critic of Nazis do you know what else reminds the left of Nazis everything everything everything reminds the left of Nazis so the other was uh the some leader said that not every person who was in the SS was a criminal so therefore he must be backing Nazis to which I say I'm going to need a little context on that one is it possible and by the way I'll be blamed of being a Nazi just for saying this so I'm going to do it anyway because I don't give a you know you know I don't care did it mean and this is a question not a statement did it mean that there might have been some people who were just sort of pressed into it and didn't do anything especially illegal they were just trying to stay alive and play along during you know was there somebody who was in the SS who basically was just doing the bookkeeping and didn't want to be there but you know it was easier than not I don't know so wouldn't you like to know what that example was so it sounded exactly like every leftist complaining about every Republican candidate for president every Republican candidate for president has been compared to a Nazi no matter what they did apparently it's just the same thing happening in Germany that there's people who will say hey it looks like it's a sunny day oh oh does it does it look like a sunny day well did you know what today is no I I wasn't even thinking about the C oh it's Hitler's birthday so so you're saying that that Hitler's birthday looks like a sunny day you obvious Nazi and then you're like you wipe your brow like this is terrible and they say what there it is your hand is above your waist what yeah your hand was above your waist that's called a Nazi salute and you say but but it wasn't it wasn't I was just wiping my brow because you made be so nervous no no first of all Elon Musk supports you and since he's a Nazi why why do you say he's a Nazi well obviously because he's supporting the Nazis but why do you say they're the Nazis because they say things that remind me of Hitler but wait reminding you of Hitler is every thing that happens every five minutes everything reminds you of Hiller why is that a standard for how somebody else is Hiller well don't ask questions so the color Revolution is on and uh the the obviously the Tesla attacks are paid obviously does anybody doubt that is there anybody here who thinks that suddenly all the people who were Pro electric cars and Afraid of climate change that suddenly they completely changed their opinion because they really like the waste Fraud and Abuse or that they're really worried about the compassion of the people who are being fired from these ridiculous jobs where there should have been half as many people does anybody think this is genuine does anybody think that that the leftist woke up and said wait a minute he's using a chainsaw instead of a scalpel on things that have nothing to do with me and I didn't even know existed nobody cares about this no well the people were getting fired care about their own lives but nobody cares about it as a topic nobody cares about it as a political problem is basically every company uh oh this is the other thing I think Reed hofman said that somehow Elon Musk didn't understand that the government is different from a priv company I think he understands that do you know who else understands it everybody everybody literally everybody in the whole freaking world knows that the government doesn't operate like a private company everybody knows that so there's your generic complaints oh he used a he's not using a scalp pole he's he should have happened sooner oh should have used more compassion I'm not sure if it's all goal no none of it's organic it's all performative by the way have you noticed how many people are using the word performative it it's now completely part of the um Republican let's say mega prot Trump World we're seeing nothing but performance this is completely artificial and do you know how I know it's artificial because nobody's asking enough questions yeah I saw one video where somebody talked to one protester and said are you getting paid and then the one protester said oh yes definitely being paid but he might have been joking meaning that it kind of looked like he might have been pranking you know just to send people off the scent um and don't you think that's the biggest question shouldn't the news be only about the organizers shouldn't they be talking to you know as many individual protesters as they can to find out are you being paid now I'm a little suspicious of all the evidence that I'm seeing on social media that suggests they're being paid I I'm completely sure that these are not organic but I worry that there might be some fake Stories being planted that won't check out so there's like oh here's this here's this advertisement for protesters and then you say ah there it is there's an advertisement right in the newspaper for protesters or online or something and you go there it is there it is is proof and then later they say no it wasn't we made that up that was just a meme somebody was just joking you fell for it obviously is not it's not organized or paid for so I'm sure it's organized and paid for by all the usual bad guys who do color revolutions I'm sure of that these are fake there's no way in the world that people organically decided that Teslas are bad and that that Elon is a Nazi nobody would come to these opinions on their own by thinking through what they've seen nobody this is purely brainwashing Andor follow the money some combination of those two things anyway the uh swatting of conservatives continues and maybe even is increasing and now that you know people have the idea I suppose it'll be worse I did see somebody did an analysis of um the opinions about Ukraine that the people who got swatted had so a lot of the people who got swatted seem to have uh a very clear anti- Ukraine messaging and do you think that's what it is do you think it's entirely a Ukraine um kind of a thing I don't know I'm going to say that is at least in my top three possibilities but don't you think the government should be trying to figure that out it would make sense because it it is a chilling thing all right so for example if I knew that you that anybody who said anything bad about Ukraine was getting swatted would it make me less likely to say something bad about Ukraine well if I were normal yes but since I'm not normal Ukraine if you guys are doing this we better not find out you know what I mean you we better not find out now I'm not going to say that they're doing it because I I don't have any evidence of that but if if that were to come out oh my God that would not be for free if you think that's a free punch you're going to have a real surprise coming because that's going to be super expensive for Ukraine and super dangerous cuz we would would drop support really quickly so Ukraine if it is you you better rethink this really quickly now and again I don't have any evidence this Ukraine so I'm not I'm not I'm not accusing Ukraine whatsoever but if any evidence arrived that's going to be really dangerous for Ukraine maybe worse than Russia attacking it's going to be really bad so make sure you're not doing that Ukraine anyway what else is going on here um Randy Warden is uh still on TV uh doing her performative thing which she does was Randy wearden ever a like a a theater major did she have any background in the theater cuz she really looks like an actress when she goes on TV she she emotes more than you know any normal person you've ever met she puts on quite a show so she's good at that good at putting on a show and obviously good at retaining power and maybe even really good for the teachers I don't know maybe she's doing a good job for teachers but it it's not doing a good job for her students that's not her job her job is not to make the students happy it's to make make the teachers happy and to make the Democrats happy but uh so she's really mad really mad she's spitting mad she says about the Department of Education being you know wound down or decreased now uh let me do a quick survey uh since there have already been some some changes there uh is anybody does anybody have children that are getting Dumber because the Department of Education is under attack anybody is there anybody who had children who used to be able to spell and do math but suddenly they can't is there anybody whose children benefited in any way from the Department of Education as far as you can tell is there anybody besides the people directly fired who in all of the and all the different government Doge related activities is there anybody whose life is gotten worse because of anything that Doge has done so far I haven't felt the impact now obviously it's a big impact to the people losing jobs but is it an impact to the rest of the country because unfortunately we do have a system where if things don't work you lose your job even if you were doing a good job so it's not it's not an ideal system you know capitalism is a a brutal system and competition is brutal and evolution is brutal but it does get you to a better place in in the the met you know in the larger picture not in the micro picture anyway so yeah Randy wearden she's really mad about that Department of Education which some say is just another another tool of the Democrats and not really something that was helping anybody get a better education that's what the critics would say well let's talk about climate change uh Anthony watts of Watts up with that is writing about a New York Post story so New York Post wrote a story about the sea level changes around our big cities so apparently the sea level is relatively higher in uh let's see New York City and San Francisco and Los Angeles and other cities and it's based on two things one the sea level seems to be getting higher but it's also because there's what's the word they use uh subsidence subsidence subsidence SB SI d n c how would you pronounce that subsidence and what it means is that um if you put a big city next to the uh water there's a real good chance that um it will just start sinking over time now part of it is because of uh excessive groundwater extraction so as the ground water is reduced under the city there's just less there holding it up so it sinks some of it is infrastructure issues I don't know what that means uh sediment compaction and tectonic shifts but climate is not part of that story so with or without climate change a city that's just happens to be a city could naturally sink and we know exactly why and not because of climate change but the story got sort of conflated with the climate change predictions to make it look like sure enough climate change predicted exactly this but there's no evidence of that climate change did anything and indeed the change in uh sea level seems to be completely consistent with the last 100 years and not showing any signs that any kind of human activity in terms of climate change specifically had anything to do with anything so uh here's what I like to say after a story like that wait until Democrats find out about climate models because at this point there's very little holding the entire Democrat Party together but still one of them is climate change once they realize that the climate models are completely ridiculous and always have been and couldn't possibly have ever told you the future um what do they have left I mean there's not much left James comr said the other day that they're doing some investigation into act blue so act blue was the big organization that allegedly gets small donations from people and packages them up for for Democrats now that would be completely legal if that's all they were doing but comr and others and Doge have seemed to uh discovered that act blue might be involved in something far more nefarious comr goes so far as to say that the that the investigation that he's putting on into act blue will destroy the entire Democrat Party now that sounds like hyperbole it's hard for me to believe it would destroy the whole Democratic party but he might know more than you know he might know a little bit more about how deep this act blue thing goes because if it touches a lot of the leaders and the leaders let's say it could be demonstrated that the leaders knew exactly what was going on that actually could destroy the entire Democratic party so I feel like I would bet against it um no matter what happens to act blue I feel like you know the Democrats are probably said no we didn't know anything about it NOP NOP surprise you can't prove we knew anything about it and you know maybe it will go away but it could be such an important funding source that they might have a a money problem and maybe the money problem would be enough to to give them a big problem we'll see anyway Trump has ordered an attack on the hoodies now if you're not keeping up with this the hoodies are a group in Yemen and they're right there by the Red Sea and if you can't do shipping in the Red Sea area you're going to have to go all the way around the horn of Africa which is really expensive your insurance rates for your shipping will go through the roof and apparently American shipping has been targeted uh it looks like some other countries perhaps have not been targeted and we don't know if that's because they're allies of Iran that backs the hoodies or is it possible that they're paying bribes because I learned today that t hoodis are blackmailing some of the shippers so I'm guessing the American Americans are not paying the bribe and maybe maybe some other countries are saying you know what we we'll just pay the bribe because it's a lot cheaper than being attacked so I don't know how that works but um remember I always tell you that the only thing that you can rely on that's real is that which predicts those things which predict the future accurately probably are telling you that there's something real if something's an idea but it doesn't predict probably wasn't real so one of the things that's interesting here is that Thomas Massie had made the following prediction he and he said it publicly he said that uh I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pullback in Ukraine oh this is good this is a very specific prediction the military industrial complex demands about 50 billion a year from our government above and beyond what's necessary to defend our country so um immediately after we got out of Afghanistan oh look we better pay a lot of money in Ukraine and as we're winding down Ukraine oh look uh coincidentally there's a brand new military conflict with the hoodies now we've bombed them before or attacked them before but not as scale so um I'm going to give Thomas Massie the win for the correct prediction right on schedule another major military action now does that mean that we shouldn't do it no that's a separate question but it also seems again to support massie's prediction that there's always a reason right there's always a reason the reason may not be one you agree with but we always have a reason some kind of Reason oh we better stop Russia there uh or it'll get worse we better be you know have a big and we better do a lot in Afghanistan because that's where the terrorist training camps are their reasons they're not crazy reasons and attacking the hoodies well it's a really good reason it's a really good reason but um then Thomas Massie went further he went to grock and he said uh expressed expressed in billions of dollars list the five countries and five corporations that will benefit the most from the US military activity to eliminate shipping disruptions caused by the hoodies in the Red Sea and according to Gro the countries that would benefit the most are China Saudi Germany Japan South Korea and the US is not in the top five and then of the corporations none of the corporations are American the top five so this would suggest that America is just sort of creating another reason to spend another $50 billion because the old reason is is decaying the Ukraine war and they just need a new military-industrial complex War to keep selling weapons now that's a pretty good prediction so I take it very seriously on the other hand I went to perplex the AI and I asked the following question so sort of an AI battle here I said perplexity AI um what would be the change in um inflation rates in the United States if the hoodie thing is not resolved and according to perplexity our current inflation rate is around 3 perish and that if things went the way they're going in the next year the cost of shipping not just to the US but to other places that you know might end up as us products at some point that our inflation rate from that alone could go from 3% to 5% in a year because the shipping cost would just be outrageous now do you believe that do you believe that perplexity AI is a good source do you believe that when it says our inflation would go from 3 to 5% which would be devastating by the way that would be a devastating economic um problem um that's not just a little little percentage going from 3 to 5% that's pain that's some serious pain so and that it would be by next year which is pretty close so here's my take I don't think you can trust the perplexity um estimate but I also don't trust Gro estimate because I don't think that it's it's understanding that some of those countries like China I don't believe China is being attacked by the hoodies and I'm not sure that grock knew that and I think that China is not being attacked by the hoodies because they have a better relationship with Iran and Iran is running the hoodies so I don't trust grock on this question and I don't trust perplexity on this question but the thing we know for sure is it's really really making our uh shipping prices go up it's creating delays long delays and it's creating uncertainty and um so I am in favor of the attacks but I'm not in favor of the attacks if they have a you know sort of a pin prick hey if we'll stop doing this or we'll come back we almost have to completely destroy every technological capability they have uh back to the point where you just severely destroyed that part of the country if you don't go that far I think we can say for sure it won't make any difference they'll just reconstitute and get new weapons from Iran and as long as there's anybody alive Iran will say are you still alive yes I am would you like something to do and maybe you'll make some money too uh I don't have any other options okay here's some missiles and some drones just send these at American shipping you almost have to get to the point where there's nobody left now I'm not in favor of genocide but how else is it going to stop and and do we have a legitimate self-defense I think it's legitimate and unfortunately it's a part of the world where if anybody's left they'll keep fighting it it's not like traditional enemies of our past where if you give them a really serious black eye they'll say okay I don't want to do that again so you know let's work something out it will never be like that it will never be like that if there's anybody left that one person will be firing a missile so I don't want to say that I'm in favor of just wiping out the entire civilization but what's the other way that works can anybody can you give me a better idea because here's what we can't do we can't surrender in the in the Red Sea we can't surrender so I get I think that they get to choose whatever outcome they want and the outcome that they seem to have chosen is complete destruction of their own civilization I feel like it's just their own choice and I feel like if they need some compassion they should talk to AI because I don't have any and if they if they want to kill all of their children by screwing with shipping to the point where it just makes sense for the the uh people who don't want to be killed to kill all of their children I'm not in favor of it but I'm not the one choosing it I'm not choosing it that that is their own choice and if Trump wants to deliver to them exactly what they've chosen I'm not going to complain too much all right meanwhile uh Trump has ordered the uh shutdown of something called the global media USA GM Global media now that was the entity that oversaw The Voice of America Radio free Europe Radio Liberty so these are all the uh media broadcasting things that we would broadcast propaganda uh but it was left-wing propaganda from the United States it was sort of anti-conservative so if we had a conservative Allied country we were even working against our own allies because because they might have been more concerned conservative and the radio was propaganda that was more left leaning now Carrie Lake had been put in charge of um I'm a little unclear if she was in charge of Voice of America or the entire uh agency they had some other entities but um she did a video today by the way if um if she's in charge of the entire thing um she'll we we'll figure that out by the end of the show um she's doing a great job job because the whole idea was you know get in there and find out if any of this makes sense to keep alive and it looks like she has decided that uh at least to a large extent it doesn't need to exist and she she did a video today about a brand new really expensive looking building that was built for this entity that's empty um and I guess the plan was to move you know from the existing building to this building but as she points out this new building um it's empty and it would they would spend a quar of a billion dollars uh per year on an empty building and they could have just fixed up the building they were in and now I think that option is going to go away and there won't be anybody to be in any building because it just wasn't a good enough reason so yes it does look like this was yet another situation in which there was enough oversight and probably a lot of money got pushed to cronies and friends and well-connected people to build a building that didn't need to be built and maybe maybe it wouldn't have made sense if we'd all known what was going on so good job Carrie Lake um Mike Ben is uh he's he's having the time of his life I think watching Doge uncover all the things that he's been warning this about but we didn't quite understand you know we we couldn't kind of conceive of the larger picture because it's just so large and you really have to wallow in it to get any sense of what's really going on but here's a little sample from Mye Benz uh apparently uh usaid gave George soros's open Society Foundation $5 million for its NGS so Soros had some NGS in a in a little country called Macedonia that has fewer than two million people in it and the money was go going to create uh to train citizens with a little book a booklet uh that would uh train them to protest using Saul olinsky's Rules for Radicals you know what that is right so American activist Saul Alinsky uh had his own book uh Rules for Radicals and it teach you to do things like oh I don't know organize protests against Tesla sound familiar and mock people and call them Communists sound familiar or or call them Nazis sound familiar so apparently we were spending our money to train people in Macedonia to use solinsky's Rules for Radicals that's right we gave money to a billionaire to teach Teach an Eastern European country how to do a rent a riot rent a riot which is exactly what you're seeing happening with the Tesla protest it's just a rental RI bye cernovich had a interesting observation today on X he said uh remember when the quote smart people who write about politics for living were saying the January 6 pardons were a huge deal and really would hurt Trump uh LMFAO he says remember when those PE remember that those people are losers they don't leave their bubbles they are always wrong keep pushing that's a really good observation um I have to I have to admit that when the January 6 pardons happened which I was fully in favor of and fully in favor of pardoning everybody didn't didn't care what they did so I'm all in on that completely but I did worry that maybe it would create a weakness that would be exploited by the left to say there you see those pardons but it's been weirdly quiet and I think it's because partly because so many things are happening so quickly that the Democrats could never really aim at anything if it had been the only thing that happened and there had never been a doge it probably would have been a target maybe it would have made more difference politically but now it just seems like it was 10 years ago you know we're all on Trump time you know every Trump year is seven years and I'm thinking to myself like who would care about the January 6 pardons wasn't that at least seven years ago almost can't remember them and and it became so small uh looking in the hindsight um but also here's what I wonder and maybe maybe this is something the Trump Administration needs to look into but I don't know how they could because this would be totally a States issue who gets to control the history books about January 6 in other words will the children of uh let's say a year from now or two years from now are they going to learn that there wasn't an attempt to overthrow the country by Republicans on January 6th is that what the is that what the history books will say because it's not true or will they say that the protesters uh were trying to save the country from what they thought was an obvious Insurrection by the left and they were trying to make sure that the election had not been rigged because it certainly looked like it had or will the history book say well there are two points of view on this some people say this some people people say that I don't remember history books ever doing that do you remember any history that you've ever read where the history was well you know some interpreted it this way some interpreted it that way no they just sort of told you what happened and then you got tested on it so what are they going to tell your children what happened and does the federal government have any way to control that or should they maybe the federal government should stay out of it but the state government gets to buy the uh the textbooks right so the market will decide and so if the state government in blue States decides oh we'll buy these textbooks to say Republicans are the devil then they will and if Texas and Florida say get those textbooks out of here because we're not going to sell propaganda to our children well then that's what'll happen in those States so I feel like we're at the verge of having two different histories a blue State history and a red State history and I don't know does the federal government have anything to say about that should they I don't know I don't have I don't have an answer for this one it's just it's a big problem if we can watch History being written incorrectly right in front of us and I think that's going to happen meanwhile in Mexico a truly scary thing happened so Mexican authorities found some kind of uh fairly huge crematorium for getting rid of people now I can't tell if it was for cremating people who were already dead or the worst thing that maybe that's how they killed those people but apparently they just found hundreds of you know shoes and clothing meaning that there were hundreds of people in involved and there're human bones and obviously was a cartel operation uh in the western state of alisco uh and it might be the I'm I'm pronouncing the J as an H halisco cartel I don't know maybe that's right um but here's the big picture apparently there are 12,000 what are called forcibly disappeared people in Mexico a 120,000 now this is over multiple years of course but there are 122 120,000 people who presumably were rounded up by cartels and just disappeared well for that volume you would have to have some way to get rid of a lot of bodies and horribly this might be how they did it incredible anyway you heard about the activist judge and Obama appointee of course um who said that uh Trump can't use the 1798 alien enemies act to get rid of the Venezuelan gangs so apparently there was some kind of old uh law on the books that Trump was using to say all right uh you can Deport all these gang members and some of them were already on planes and this judge said nope uh you got to take at least a 14-day pause so it's a pause I guess they got 14 days to work it out and even to the point of telling the airplanes to turn around if they were in the air now I'm getting just exhausted in talking about all the bad judges and the lawfare and how they're trying to stop Trump and every single thing he does because they all sound the same Trump tried to do something that's common sense and good for the country a an Obama or Biden appointed judge stopped him for reasons that sound ridiculous but eventually a a higher Court overturned that stupid judge and then we're back in business but here's a new challenge from a new obama-appointed judge and a new problem and then you just rins it repeat rinse and repeat so they all started sounding the same after after a while but a uh related wrinkle is that uh Marco Rubio is reporting he said uh we we have sent two dangerous top MS13 leaders plus 21 of its Most Wanted back to face Justice in El Salvador and so we've got a deal worked out with El Salvador um where uh we sent 250 members of this trenda araga gang to El Salvador which has agreed to hold them in the El Salvador jails at a fair price so we're saving money and uh getting them held in a secure facility with a friendly country and uh um and secretary Rubio says that President uh Bui of El Salvador is not only the strongest secure leader in our region uh he's also a great friend of the US thank you now I got to say this bu Kelly guy he does some amazingly smart things and one of the amazingly smart things is this simply offering to use their existing facilities to handle some of the worst people and we didn't I don't think we asked him I think he volunteered it which is such a strong move it would be one thing if we you know tried to lean on them a little bit and said well you know we're like your big brother so maybe you should do us a solid all right if I have to that's so different then we don't know we've got this problem we don't know how to solve it and then he raises his hand and says I have a solution I can save you some money and take care of this completely and then he does that is so ball so so baller and the fact that uh Rubio says he's the strongest security leader in our region did that include the United States did he just say that El Salvador's you know better in security than the United States because I wouldn't disagree um you know we're trying to catch up but that's a hell of a thing anyway uh according to Ted to no Todd Todd Lions who's the acting director of ice apparently Biden was cooking the books on his ice arrest oh big surprise how many people didn't know that that Biden was lying about the numbers of course he was but one specific way he was lying is that they were uh categorizing people that they processed and then released into the interior of the United States as is AR does it count as an ice arrest if all you do is release them into the United States to me that would be called ice not doing his job or ice not arresting them but if they were technically arrested and then they were processed and then released without any penalty into the United States I'm not sure I would call that as an ice arrest but Biden did look at all those arrests we're doing anyway uh Mario and naal was reminding us of this story um then do you remember that uh the one of the smartest people for the Democrats one of their one of their Geniuses called James Carville who's uh even smarter than Bill Burr barely um no I'm joking uh carville's actually pretty smart but he did realize that the democ RS have no skill and no leadership and no plan so he came up with the genius idea of doing nothing uh we're going to call it the playing posum strategy well I here's what you should do uh since we don't have anybody who can do anything useful and we don't have any leaders we don't have anybody with Charisma uh we don't have anybody who's got good policies and we don't have anybody who's not a complete loser so what we're going to do is we're going to play dead in about 30 days the media will pick apart whatever Trump is doing so his popularity will plunge so just do nothing because the more you do something the stupider we look so stop doing something every time you do something you look stupid Jasmine Crockett Maxine Waters Schumer he had a point the the the people that the Democrats were putting out front not really really the best look not really the best look so in sort of a you know I've given up all hope he decided that if they just did nothing that might be their best play so let's check in on that it's been about 30 days and uh rasmason just did a poll and found out uh oh uh his his approval is 52% the same as I think he's at a high point so Trump's success according to rasmus's at High Point uh now if any of you are polling nerds uh if you've ever heard how the the left talks about the Rasmus and pole do you know what they say about him so the rasmon pole is often uh let's say a different result than the bulk of the other poles that lean left so the ones that LE left say oh the rasmon pole come on you you can't take them seriously because they're right leaning you know as if the others are not left leing so you can't take them seriously because they have this you know pro- Republican bias and by the way we have questions about their methodology now since you and I are not pollsters we don't really know what that means like what's wrong with their methodology why is your methodology right and there's a wrong but here's what they leave out rasmason consistently does better whenever you could check so one of the ways that you could check well let me give you an example of something you can't check if if you are six months away from an election and rasmuson says the Republicans are doing well uh but all the left polls say well not that well you know the Republicans are actually a little underwater you can't really check because the only thing you'd have to check are other polls so you don't have a result you just have something that is pollers disagree the only time you can really know if the posters are are good or bad is on Election Day so if you were to check the election day presidential results of rasmason versus all the other pollsters where do you think rasmason would be right near the top so whenever you can check okay now we know for sure because we have the actual vote rasmuson I think they got the last three um one of the best for the last three so whenever you see that complaint just remind yourself whenever you can't check they'll say oh you can't trust them they've got bias they've got this methodology that we criticize whenever you can know who was right there they are and they're they're they're reminding people of that fact this week so it's kind of fun to watch anyway uh but how are the Democrats doing apparently apparently there's new survey uh that the Democrat favorability is at a new record low of 29% so uh you know how the uh the the midterm elections pretty much always historically have gone uh against whoever the incumbent president is so if the president's Republican you can largely depend historically speaking that the midterm elections would put more Democrats in charge and they would have some control of at least one part of Congress this might be the first time that doesn't happen because that is such a bad branding for the Democrats it would be hard to imagine that they could somehow you know keep the historical norm and and uh you know gain power compared to the president when I feel like doge is going to keep getting more popular the more corruption they find so we'll see um meanwhile over in Israel their defense Minister says that they're only a year away from deploying what they call the iron beam it's this giant laser air defense system it's supposed to be operational by the end of this year actually so less than a year and here's what that means in terms of cost so the existing Iron Dome systems fire basically a missile to stop another missile or to stop a drone um but every time you fire a missile it's really expensive so might be like A40 to $50,000 every time the Iron Dome sends up an intercept $50,000 for every intercept and there would be a lot of them so it gets really expensive really quickly but let's compare that to what it would cost to per shot for this new radar system closer to $3 $3 compared to 40 to 50,000 $3 per shot so they could spend $3 to knock down the enemy's far more expensive missile now apparently it's not perfect if the weather is a certain way it's not going to work as well uh so we'll see about that you know maybe they need both because if the weather is bad they need a different system maybe the lasers are strong enough or will improve enough that they can just zip right through the fog and you know burn the fog out of the way before it hits the target maybe um but if this thing works uh I'd like to order a hundred of them I don't know what the base units cost so it's probably pretty expensive to you know get the the base unit but once you've got that $3 per shot that's amazing um you should read my book uh God's be the complete works because the middle book of the of the trilogy if you can call it that is about a future in which this sort of uh missile defense was already uh implemented but in the book uh there were some of them were implemented on um C platforms because you want to stop the missile well before it reaches your you know your Shores so you'd put the platform you know well off the uh Coast so it could get them as early as possible before they reach the coast um and then well I won't tell you it's a it's a great book you should read it it's called God's debris the complete works just check out the uh check out the ratings and the reviews online uh you're going to see some reviews that are just blow your mind some of the best reviews for a book you'll ever see meanwhile uh according to Reuters uh let's talk about Ukraine um mcon of France say declared that uh Russia has no say in whether NATO troops enter Ukraine uh because Russia wants to have no no kind of European peacekeepers in Ukraine uh but Britain and France are thinking about putting some there and mrcon wants to know that it's just up to Ukraine if Ukraine wants some European peacekeepers that's up to Ukraine to which I say um what would Trump's plan be for keeping Ukraine safe is it only the mineral deals like if if we have enough economic entanglements Russia won't attack or does it trust that um Russia won't attack as long as Trump's office and maybe that could extend to hypothetically a JD Vance Administration is that the only thing we'd be depending on the the personal connection would it be um what would it be now other when I I said something like this online and somebody said uh why do you why do you think it's the the United States obligation to protect Ukraine and I said I didn't say that where did I say It's Our obligation to protect Ukraine I've never said that what I do think is if you want a durable peace deal it should make sense to the people involved and it's definitely in the United States benefit to end a war and get out of that region and just say all right we're done and we ended a war and uh we're not in favor of Wars that's good uh especially if it prevents some future Democrat from spending another hundred billion dollars right back in Ukraine so we do have an interest in unwinding our entanglement and that might re you know that's going to depend on both sides thinking that the deal makes sense so what would be Trump's response to well if uh if Ukraine wants these peacekeepers of course that would prevent any kind of a peace deal um but what would Trump do I think he needs to make a better case for why why Ukraine would be safe um because I think that's missing now I think he could do it I I think there's room there to do it but I'd like to hear it I'd like to hear a little more you know what what would Ukraine do to protect themselves now some of it might be will will send Ukraine more drones I don't know does that would that count as a the same thing as boots on the ground I don't know but I'd love to know if Trump has a more Innovative you know out of the box concept for this because he might I I suspect he has he has an answer but maybe it's just not revealed to us in full so we'll see um apparently there's a bill being introduced Now by US Representative a republican uh riy Moore West Virginia and it's a bill to ban Chinese Nationals from getting student Visas so they're about 300,000 Chinese residents not residents Chinese Nationals so they're they're they're not American citizens they're Chinese and they come to the United States for student Vas now my understanding is that the reason that our universities like to have foreign students is that they pay full price and the so it basically subsidizes the college and the American students often have scholarships and stuff like that so they just make more money on the foreign students but uh I'm in favor of this I would have tied it to fentel though um you've heard me say it before that we should just send home a handful of Chinese students for every day that there's a fenal death um so I would tie it to fenel but I like where he's coming from meanwhile Gateway pundit is reporting uh that Trump revoked the security clearances for yet another Law Firm the Paul Weiss law firm and um suffice to say that this Law Firm has done a number of things that seemed uh politically biased and or inappropriate to Republicans and one of them was uh I'll just give you one example um back in 2021 one of the partners in that law firm uh did a pro bono lawsuit against Patriots on the January 6th day so it was somebody who didn't even charge money to put together lawsuits against the protesters on January 6 now I assume it was the protesters who maybe did some violence or something but but that would be you know part of the complaint is that they were politically biased now I don't know too much about the law firm so I don't have an opinion about whether they should be um they should be uh what I guess the action would uh cut him off from any kind of government contracts or and also gets rid of their security clearance uh so it would be a pretty big deal but here here's my take on this do you remember the time when Trump couldn't get uh good lawyers to defend him against massive waves of lawfare and it was because the lawyers were afraid that if they got political meaning just defending Trump that it would cost them later the law firm would suffer and you know they wouldn't be able to get regular clients except for that and that was a big problem and I thought to myself that's one of the worst things I've ever seen that you create law fair for a candidate that's already as bad as you can get and then and then you make it impossible for that that person to get good representation now I think Trump ultimately got great representation because he did navigate the lawfare stuff really well so I'm no lawyer but just judging it from you know a lay person's perspective it feels to me that the the legal team that Trump eventually put together you while he was out of office I think they were great does anybody have a disagreement with that be the fact was that what they needed to do was stall and minimize the damage and you know and and play for him to get reelected basically so that the rest of it could go away so I feel like they did a great job now I don't know if this will hurt them in the future if they you know can't get regular jobs again but the fact that there was ever that much pressure on lawyers who were going to help Trump I I can't feel any sympathy for him getting revenge now I'm sure they don't call it Revenge they call it something like getting rid of bias in the legal process or something like that but I don't think it would happen if they hadn't gone after Trump so there is a price yeah the yeah the the lawyers that help Trump are probably red listed that's probably true so as long as that's true mutually assur Destruction has been activated and I can't say that I can't say that I'm opposed to it I hate that we're in this situation so I hate that lawyers had pressure not to help Trump and I also hate that there's pressure against anybody for what they did politically so I can hate both of it but it does look like mutually sure Destruction has kicked in and I don't hate that I don't hate that because sometimes it's just the only thing you can do so I don't know that that can get us to a good place where people can just be lawyers and there's no lawfare but as long as there's law fair and there's red listing of people who help Republicans then I think Republicans have a free pass to destroy every Law Firm that they can destroy they had some hand in it I hate it I hate the whole thing I hate it from top to bottom but sometimes you know sometimes you got to pull a tooth anyway according to neoscope and writer Nel s um that over in Great Britain they've come up with a mRNA technology stop it listen uh that has proven effective well no Take that part away uh they've created a vaccine for for cancer using the MRNA platform now um apparently they're getting some kind of good indications that it works I don't have any I don't have information that says it cured anything but it must be curing something because they're pretty happy with it and they're they're taking it wider now apparently what it does is you have to take a uh biopsy and you have to adjust the what they call a vaccination why do they call it a vaccination it doesn't vaccinate because you've already got the cancer by the time you take it I don't know so I guess that word vaccination is getting kind of overused but uh they'll take the specific cancer from a specific person so it's not even just the type of cancer it's got to be specific to the person and uh then they design their quote vaccination uh around that specific one and they they think it's going to have great promise now I'd love to hear was there anybody who had an incurable cancer that's already been cured or did it just slow it down a little bit or did it only work on cancers that maybe there was some other treatment too but they think this would be maybe gentler I don't know so I have many many questions but um it sounds promising now if you're going to say to me but Scott if they if they get the MRNA it's going to cause other problems with them I don't think the people who are dying of cancer are worried too much about that um so that that certainly changes it's not like we're it's not like Co where you could say to yourself all right Co barely killed anybody so you don't want to take a chance on the treatment but if the cancer is going to kill everybody let's say it's the the kind with there's no treatment then I don't know certainly the risk profile changes completely right what are your other options is there a second way to cure an incurable cancer if this cures any incurable cancer and again they don't say that but they're sort of leaning in that direction if it cures any incurable cancer I think the last thing the patients going to be worrying about is that they got some I don't know mRNA Badness in their body whatever that is so we'll see good luck with that sooner the better all right ladies and gentlemen that's what I got for you today it's a fun Sunday the news is all kind of interesting uh but I think things are work are heading in the right direction things are heading in the right direction so thanks for joining I'm going to say a few words privately to the people on locals the rest of you on X and Rumble and You.

Tube thanks for joining we'll see you tomorrow same time same place You.

Tube I'm sorry locals coming at you e e e

of you want to see a show hands up all

right all right it looks like it's

unanimous then we'll do a show but I'm

going to have to look at your

comments you know I love

them let me get that going

here there we

[Music]

go how do I look is my t-shirt all nice

and pressed good

good good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time but if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that even the International Space

Station can imagine all you need for

that is a CER mugger a glass of tankered

shell suin a canteen jugg or flask a

vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid

I like coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopam of the day

the thing that makes everything better

it's called that's right it's called the

simultaneous zp and it happens right now

go well the rumble studio is working

perfectly all the platforms are on in

place everything's looking good I had a

good night of sleep I think things are

looking up I do but uh let's check on

the news anything happening well here's

some

studies um people find According To Live

Science Drew tney is writing about this

people find AI to be more compassionate

than mental health

experts that's right they did a study

and AI is more compassionate than mental

health

experts now the question that I have is

is why is compassion always the right

answer if you have mental health

problems is compassion the right answer

and the reason I ask is because

compassion is a reward right so if you

want to do more of something you would

reward it if you wanted to do less of

something you would starve it or

penalize it so what happens when you say

say doctor I have this terrible problem

and the doctor says oh oh maximum

empathy you have that problem oh I feel

so bad for you then don't you get a

reward so why would you fix your problem

if you're being rewarded for

it but sometimes don't you think you

need the tough love don't you think you

need a kick in the ass sometimes more

than you need compassion how about you

know I have no compassion for that uh

you need to just get your ass in gear

maybe you need to go to the gym maybe

you need to eat right and go to bed at

9:00 instead of 2: a.m. maybe you should

do the same thing that everybody else

does to be happy and maybe you can come

back and if none of that works well I've

got a lot of compassion for you but I

don't have any compassion for you if

you're not doing the most obvious things

in the world that everybody does to be

happy and you've decided not to do them

and then you're complaining to me so I

don't think compassion is always the

right answer I'm going to I'm going to

say the human might get the edge on this

one so too much compassion bad but some

compassion yes certainly there are

problems where there's nothing you can

do about it and for that maximum

compassion I'm all in for a compassion

on that

all here's another study according to

the Daily Mail Luke schaer is writing

about this uh doctors reveal the

alarming reason why you should never in

capital letters never go for long

periods without

sex did you know and this is going to

shock you that people who go for long

periods without sex they're not as happy

as

people as people have a lot of sex did

you know

that well if you didn't know that you

could have just asked

anybody uh I I'll stick with my theme of

asking Scott but you didn't have to ask

me you could have just looked around and

said is anybody uh any of you have you

not had sex in a long time how do you

feel about it are you are you satisfied

do you feel like your life is complete

no didn't see that com

I don't know how anybody could have ever

predicted that not doing the one thing

that you're biologically maximized to

do uh how could that make you unhappy I

don't

know so next time just ask me just just

ask me I could have saved you so much

time well JD Vance is confident he says

that there'll be a deal for Tik Tock so

that it can stay but we have a

non-chinese ownership New York Post is

reporting this and he thinks there'll be

some quote high level purchase of Tik

Tock and it could happen before April

5th um but you know these big Deals they

do take some time so maybe maybe he must

know something we don't know but he's

you know JD Vance would understand this

part of the world so he's not like Mike

Pence

think about JD

Vance uh and analyzing the you know the

odds of Tik Tock being purchased you

know by a bunch of investors you know to

think about his qualifications to talk

about that topic which are very high

because he's been in that

business uh versus Mike

Pence what would Mike Pence have to say

about this that we would care about JD

Vance is way more capable and uh I think

ultimately powerful than we might be

understanding right now so he he is

really well

poised for you know what comes

next in other good news it's uh so far

it's a half good news we expect more

good news coming but the SpaceX crew has

docked with the International Space

Station imagine if you were an alien

and you were you were just reaching

Earth's uh you know outer atmosphere and

you're trying to observe what the locals

are doing and you say wait hold on we

see something happening up here in uh in

the space Oh there they are it looks

like we we see one of the people uh they

they seem to be able to float in space

and they look kind of made of metal oh

here's another one oh we're going to see

a mating practice I I think they're

mating oh yep they're mating they're

mating no they're not mating they're

just docking it's called docking not

fuing and uh that's the first step to

rescue those stranded NASA

astronauts

so it seems to me that in normal times

this would be one of the biggest stories

in the whole country and we'd be

obsessed by it and every time you turned

on the T they'd say it's halfway done

the rescue is halfway done Elon Musk is

the hero that we needed he's doing it

with you know nothing in return he's

he's just amazingly created a company

that can rescue astronauts in space when

nothing else can do

it do you think that's what's going to

happen or it will it be ignored because

it's just so obviously positive

patriotic inspirational

yeah I think it'll be a little bit

ignored now it won't be totally ignored

they'll report it is news but I don't

think they're going to be obsessing over

how awesome it

is and if you don't mind I'd like to

obsess for just a moment now they're not

home yet right so they're they've done

the hard part which is the docking I

think that's the hard part um so we're

hoping that you know the other part is

just as as

successful but can we just be impressed

just be impressed for a moment just just

allow us to

feel that at least some part of

America can do something that's kind of

awesome so let's just enjoy it and uh

good luck to all of them and uh looking

forward to all of you

return well in

a in a story that's almost the complete

opposite uh Joy Reed who is as you know

fired from

MSNBC according to Radar Online who has

an exclusive they've got some kind of

Insider at MSNBC news who says that Joy

Reed is really really mad about about

getting fired and she's ready to scream

bloody murder and uh she might have

Insight or knowledge about bad things

that happened to MSNBC

and uh see uh she's uh she might seek

Vengeance she might seek

Vengeance now here's the funny

part did MSNBC not see this coming you

know I've wondered for a long time like

why don't they get rid of her it just

it's so obvious that she's bad for their

brand I thought and I thought man it's

just taking forever for them to do the

obvious you know to to improve that slot

and uh maybe now we know why maybe they

were afraid that she would be completely

unpredictable and be seeking Vengeance

and have all kinds of insight or

knowledge so she take down the entire

the entire

network so how could MSNBC have seen

this

coming well they could have asked

me I saw it coming

so did most of you could have asked

anybody but I think they knew it yeah

she looked like

trouble so can you can you make a list

of all the things that Scott would enjoy

the most and where would you put Joy

Reed destroys what's left of

MSNBC top 10 right I mean even if it's a

long list of things that Scott would

enjoy top

10 so I've decided to go all in on

supporting Joy Reed Joy Reed Joy

[Laughter]

Reed it doesn't get any

better anyway let's check on the color

Revolution that's totally not a color

Revolution you know what a color

Revolution is it's all the dirty tricks

that the US uses to overthrow other

countries um you know making it look

like there's a ground swell for whoever

we support and there's action in the

streets and there's giant protests but

you know of course they're all organized

and paid and you know completely

artificial and then we control their

media so the media acts like the the

Challenger that we want to be in office

is the only one that can do the job and

the other one's a

Nazi sound

familiar well that's what's happening

right now in the United States but I

asked perplex the AI I said given all

the things that are happening the

protests and whatnot against Tesla Etc I

said uh are we experiencing a color

Revolution and perplexed he said oh no

no no I I don't even know what you're

talking about so I guess not right

because ai ai couldn't identify it so it

turns out that there are only uh totally

organic protests about in this case uh

Tesla because there are tons of young

people who really really care about the

exact method that was used to reduce

costs at the organization they' never

heard of called

usaid These are the least organic

protests I've ever seen you you thought

the black lives matter looked a little

suspicious you thought antifa looked a

little

suspicious the people who are hating the

electric cars the very same people who

would have killed their own children to

make sure there were lots of electric

cars to save the planet suddenly they

just hate the electric cars and the

person is doing it and boy did they hate

anybody who's trying to do get rid of

the the waste and uh abuse and

fraud and then Reed Hoffman just went on

Cole bear I think it was last night Reed

Hoffman on Cole bear huh what does that

sound like

that sounds like somebody making sure

that the

media has a message that supports the

protesters exactly like a color

Revolution that's that's exactly what

you'd expect to see but you know at

least you can trust Co bear not to be

part of any kind of what okay maybe you

don't trust Co bear so Cole bear asked

uh Reed Hoffman hey you know you know

Elon Musk

what what do you think about him doing

all this Doge cross cutting and what did

Reed Hoffman say well he's smart enough

he's very smart to say well we like you

know cutting the waist of course but we

we think that he could do it in a more

compassionate and perhaps more legal

way what's that sound

like that's what I call a generic

complaint

you want to hear another generic

complaint it should have been done

sooner that's my

ultimate My ultimate ridiculous

complaint well it was a good idea but it

should have been done sooner okay shut

up well it's a good idea but it should

have been done with more compassion shut

up well it's a good idea but it should

have been done with more attention to

the legalities of it yeah which would

have stopped her from doing anything

shut up these are such generic stupid

ridiculous pure propaganda complaints

does anybody know that the compassionate

method would have worked did we do a

study that is there a way to fire

massive amounts of people and make them

feel good about it oh we're we're going

to take your job uh but we'd like you to

feel good about it and although the

people are not very compassionate we we

have an AI you can talk to and the AI

has been proven to be more compassionate

so here's the AI hey AI Elon Musk and

his doge team just fired me oh oh that's

bad oh he should have been more

compassionate but I am I'm the AI oh

that's terrible oh what would you do so

bad he's so incompassion and and I'm not

even sure that it's all legal oh oh the

AI would say oh that's so bad it it

should have been done sooner and it

should be more

legal and more compassionate and by the

way I'm going to tell you something

you've never heard before here's some

advice you can take with you for the

rest of your life this will serve you

really well he should have used a

scalpel instead

of that's right a chainsaw yeah those

are my generic

complaints and by the way it reminds me

of

Hitler uh how exactly does it remind you

of Hitler well Hitler um he maybe he

uh he uh he owned a chainsaw I don't

think he did it probably didn't own a

chainsaw he

uh but did he own a

scalpel no he probably never owned a

scalpel see see so Hitler didn't own a

scalpel and Elon Musk is not using a

scalpel you see right can you see it's

kind of obvious now everybody sees it

now right there's no point in hiding it

and there was also that time he raised

his his arm above his waist who does

that Hitler Hitler does that and by the

way Bill Burr says that was a Nazi

salute so if you can't believe Bill Burr

who's the biggest freaking idiot I've

ever seen in my life if you can't

believe him when he interpreted

something to be absolutely ridiculous

well who can you

believe yesterday I saw the the

ultimate um it's almost like this

Russian egg egg with an egg thing where

somebody said that uh musk was a a Nazi

because he supported the far right um

party in Germany and said that they're

the only ones that could fix Germany now

I assume that that has something to do

with immigration that they're they must

be opposed to mass immigration so I

assume that's what the what he meant

that they're the only ones that can stop

Germany from just being overrun becoming

a different country

so um so the allegation was that the

far- right party in Germany is pro-nazi

and and that uh Elon Musk was supporting

him so I mean that's proof right that's

proof he must be a Nazi because he's

supporting a group that also is accused

of being a Nazi so I said hey AI

perplexity

can you give me some examples of what

this far- right party is because I've

never I've never weighed in one way or

the other about German politics but I

thought whoa that's a that's a pretty

incendiary claim so what would be some

examples of this far right party

supporting

Nazis and so it gave me examples and and

listen to these chilling

examples there was the one time

one person who was in the

party said something that was similar to

what um the Nazis had once

said without giving me the

example what would be the

example of what they once said that he

also once said because I'm not positive

but I'll bet you people say a lot of

things that Nazis once said but don't we

need some context don't I need an

example

then there was

uh some other individual now keep in

mind that these are not these are not

the parties platform which has nothing

to do with anything Nazi but rather

there were

individuals who were blamed for saying

something that reminded someone else a

Critic it reminded a Critic of Nazis do

you know what else reminds the left of

Nazis

everything everything everything reminds

the left of

Nazis so the other was uh the some

leader said that not every person who

was in the SS was a

criminal so therefore he must be backing

Nazis to which I say I'm going to need a

little context on that one is it

possible and by the way I'll be blamed

of being a Nazi just for saying this so

I'm going to do it anyway because I

don't give a you know you know I don't

care did it mean and this is a question

not a statement did it mean that there

might have been some people who were

just sort of pressed into it and didn't

do anything especially illegal they were

just trying to stay alive and play along

during you know was there somebody who

was in the SS who basically was just

doing the bookkeeping and didn't want to

be there but you know it was easier than

not I don't know so wouldn't you like to

know what that example

was so it sounded exactly like every

leftist complaining about every

Republican candidate for

president every Republican candidate for

president has been compared to a Nazi no

matter what they did apparently it's

just the same thing happening in Germany

that there's people who will say hey it

looks like it's a sunny day oh oh does

it does it look like a sunny day well

did you know what today is no I I wasn't

even thinking about the C oh it's

Hitler's

birthday so so you're saying that that

Hitler's birthday looks like a sunny day

you obvious Nazi and then you're like

you wipe your brow

like this is terrible and they say what

there it is your hand is above your

waist what yeah your hand was above your

waist

that's called a Nazi

salute and you say but but it wasn't it

wasn't I was just wiping my brow because

you made be so nervous no no first of

all Elon Musk supports you and since

he's a Nazi why why do you say he's a

Nazi well obviously because he's

supporting the Nazis but why do you say

they're the Nazis because they say

things that remind me of Hitler but wait

reminding you of Hitler is every

thing that happens every five minutes

everything reminds you of Hiller why is

that a standard for how somebody else is

Hiller well don't ask

questions so the color Revolution is on

and uh the the obviously the Tesla

attacks are paid obviously does anybody

doubt that is there anybody here who

thinks that suddenly all the people who

were Pro electric cars and Afraid of

climate change that suddenly they

completely changed their opinion because

they really like the waste Fraud and

Abuse or that they're really worried

about the compassion of the people who

are being fired from these ridiculous

jobs where there should have been half

as many people does anybody think this

is genuine does anybody think that that

the leftist woke up and said wait a

minute he's using a chainsaw instead of

a scalpel on things that have nothing to

do with me and I didn't even know

existed nobody cares about this no well

the people were getting fired care about

their own lives but nobody cares about

it as a

topic nobody cares about it as a

political

problem is basically every company uh oh

this is the other thing I think Reed

hofman said that somehow Elon Musk

didn't understand that the government is

different from a priv

company I think he understands that do

you know who else understands it

everybody everybody literally everybody

in the whole freaking world knows that

the government doesn't operate like a

private company everybody knows that so

there's your generic complaints oh he

used a he's not using a scalp pole he's

he should have happened sooner oh should

have used more compassion I'm not sure

if it's all

goal no none of it's organic it's all

performative by the way have you noticed

how many people are using the word

performative it it's now completely part

of the um Republican let's say mega prot

Trump World we're seeing nothing but

performance this is completely

artificial and do you know how I know

it's artificial because nobody's asking

enough questions yeah I saw one video

where somebody talked to one protester

and said are you getting paid and then

the one protester said oh yes definitely

being paid but he might have been joking

meaning that it kind of looked like he

might have been pranking you know just

to send people off the

scent

um and don't you think that's the

biggest question

shouldn't the news be only about the

organizers shouldn't they be talking to

you know as many individual protesters

as they can to find out are you being

paid now I'm a little

suspicious of all the evidence that I'm

seeing on social media that suggests

they're being paid I I'm completely sure

that these are not

organic but I worry that there might be

some fake Stories being planted that

won't check

out so there's like oh here's this

here's this advertisement for

protesters and then you say ah there it

is there's an advertisement right in the

newspaper for protesters or online or

something and you go there it is there

it is is proof and then later they

say no it wasn't we made that up that

was just a meme somebody was just joking

you fell for it obviously is not it's

not organized or paid for so I'm sure

it's organized and paid for by all the

usual bad guys who do color revolutions

I'm sure of that these are fake there's

no way in the world that people

organically decided that Teslas are bad

and that that Elon is a Nazi nobody

would come to these opinions on their

own by thinking through what they've

seen nobody this is purely brainwashing

Andor follow the money some combination

of those two

things anyway the uh swatting of

conservatives continues and maybe even

is increasing and now that you know

people have the idea I suppose it'll be

worse I did see somebody did an

analysis of

um the opinions about

Ukraine that the people who got swatted

had so a lot of the people who got

swatted seem to have uh a very clear

anti-

Ukraine

messaging and do you think that's what

it is do you think it's entirely a

Ukraine um kind of a

thing I don't

know I'm going to say that is at least

in my top three

possibilities but don't you think the

government should be trying to figure

that out

it would make sense because it it is a

chilling thing all right so for

example if I knew that you that anybody

who said anything bad about Ukraine was

getting swatted would it make me less

likely to say something bad about

Ukraine well if I were normal yes but

since I'm not normal Ukraine if you

guys are doing this we better not find

out

you know what I mean you we better not

find out now I'm not going to say that

they're doing it because I I don't have

any evidence of that but if if that were

to come

out oh my

God that would not be for free if you

think that's a free punch you're going

to have a real surprise coming because

that's going to be super expensive for

Ukraine and super dangerous cuz we would

would drop support really

quickly so

Ukraine if it is you you better rethink

this really quickly now and again I

don't have any evidence this Ukraine so

I'm not I'm not I'm not accusing Ukraine

whatsoever but if any

evidence

arrived that's going to be really

dangerous for Ukraine maybe worse than

Russia attacking it's going to be really

bad so make sure you're not doing that

Ukraine

anyway what else is going on here um

Randy Warden is uh still on TV uh doing

her performative thing which she does

was Randy wearden ever

a like a a theater

major did she have any background in the

theater cuz she really looks like an

actress when she goes on TV she she

emotes more than you know any normal

person you've ever met she puts on quite

a show so she's good at that good at

putting on a show and obviously good at

retaining power and maybe even really

good for the teachers I don't know maybe

she's doing a good job for teachers but

it it's not doing a good job for her

students that's not her job her job is

not to make the students happy it's to

make make the teachers happy and to make

the Democrats happy but uh so she's

really mad really mad she's spitting mad

she says about the Department of

Education being you know wound down or

decreased now uh let me do a quick

survey uh since there have already been

some some changes there uh is anybody

does anybody have children that are

getting Dumber because the Department of

Education is under attack anybody is

there anybody who had children who used

to be able to spell and do math but

suddenly they

can't is there anybody whose children

benefited in any way from the Department

of Education as far as you can tell is

there anybody besides the people

directly

fired who in all of the and all the

different government Doge related

activities is there anybody whose life

is gotten worse because of anything that

Doge has

done so far I haven't felt the

impact now obviously it's a big impact

to the people losing jobs

but is it an impact to the rest of the

country because unfortunately we do have

a system where if things don't work you

lose your job even if you were doing a

good job so it's not it's not an ideal

system you know capitalism is a a brutal

system and competition is brutal and

evolution is brutal but it does get you

to a better place in in the the met you

know in the larger picture not in the

micro

picture anyway so yeah Randy wearden

she's really mad about that Department

of Education which some say is just

another another tool of the Democrats

and not really something that was

helping anybody get a better education

that's what the critics would say well

let's talk about climate change uh

Anthony watts of Watts up with that is

writing about a New York Post story so

New York Post wrote a story about the

sea level changes around our big cities

so apparently the sea level is

relatively higher in uh let's see New

York City and San Francisco and Los

Angeles and other cities and it's based

on two

things one the sea level seems to be

getting higher but it's also because

there's what's the word they use uh

subsidence

subsidence subsidence SB SI d n c how

would you pronounce that

subsidence and what it means is that um

if you put a big city next to the uh

water there's a real good chance that um

it will just start sinking over time now

part of it is because of uh excessive

groundwater extraction so as the ground

water is reduced under the city there's

just less there holding it up so it

sinks some of it is infrastructure

issues I don't know what that means uh

sediment compaction and tectonic shifts

but climate is not part of that

story so with or without climate change

a city that's just happens to be a

city could naturally sink and we know

exactly why and not because of climate

change but the story got sort of

conflated with the climate change

predictions to make it look like sure

enough climate change predicted exactly

this but there's no evidence of that

climate change did anything and indeed

the change in uh sea level seems to be

completely consistent with the last 100

years and not showing any signs that any

kind of human activity in terms of

climate change specifically had anything

to do with

anything so uh here's what I like to say

after a story like

that wait until Democrats find out about

climate

models because at this point there's

very little holding the entire Democrat

Party

together but still one of them is

climate

change once they realize that the

climate models are completely ridiculous

and always have been and

couldn't possibly have ever told you the

future um what do they have left I mean

there's not much

left James comr said the other day that

they're doing some investigation into

act blue so act blue was the big

organization that allegedly gets small

donations from people and packages them

up for for Democrats now that would be

completely legal if that's all they were

doing but comr and others and Doge have

seemed to uh discovered that act blue

might be involved in something far more

nefarious

comr goes so far as to say that the that

the investigation that he's putting on

into act blue will destroy the entire

Democrat

Party now that sounds like

hyperbole it's hard for me to believe it

would destroy the whole Democratic party

but he might know more than you

know he might know a little bit more

about how deep this act blue thing goes

because if it touches a lot of the

leaders and the

leaders let's say it could be

demonstrated that the leaders knew

exactly what was going on that actually

could destroy the entire Democratic

party so I feel like I would bet against

it um no matter what happens to act blue

I feel like you know the Democrats are

probably said no we didn't know anything

about it NOP NOP surprise you can't

prove we knew anything about it and you

know maybe it will go away but it could

be such an important funding

source that they might have a a money

problem and maybe the money problem

would be enough to to give them a big

problem we'll

see anyway Trump has ordered an attack

on the

hoodies now if you're not keeping up

with this the hoodies are a group in

Yemen and they're right there by the Red

Sea and if you can't do shipping in the

Red Sea area you're going to have to go

all the way around the horn of Africa

which is really expensive your insurance

rates for your shipping will go through

the roof and apparently American

shipping has been targeted uh it looks

like some other countries perhaps have

not been targeted and we don't know if

that's because they're allies of Iran

that backs the hoodies or is it possible

that they're paying bribes because I

learned today that t hoodis are

blackmailing some of the shippers so I'm

guessing the American Americans are not

paying the

bribe and maybe maybe some other

countries are saying you know what we

we'll just pay the bribe because it's a

lot cheaper than being

attacked so I don't know how that works

but

um remember I always tell you that the

only thing that you can rely on that's

real is that which

predicts those things which predict the

future accurately probably are telling

you that there's something real if

something's an idea but it doesn't

predict probably wasn't real so one of

the things that's interesting here is

that Thomas Massie had made the

following

prediction he and he said it

publicly he said that uh I recently said

to watch for a new military engagement

to compensate for the pullback in

Ukraine oh this is good this is a very

specific prediction the military

industrial complex demands about 50

billion a year from our government above

and beyond what's necessary to defend

our

country so um immediately after we got

out of

Afghanistan oh look we better pay a lot

of money in

Ukraine and as we're winding down

Ukraine oh look uh coincidentally

there's a brand new military conflict

with the hoodies now we've bombed them

before or attacked them before but not

as

scale

so um I'm going to give Thomas Massie

the win for the correct prediction right

on schedule another major military

action now does that mean that we

shouldn't do it no that's a separate

question but it also seems again to

support massie's prediction that there's

always a

reason right there's always a reason the

reason may not be one you agree with but

we always have a reason some kind of

Reason oh we better stop Russia there uh

or it'll get worse we better be you know

have a big and we better do a lot in

Afghanistan because that's where the

terrorist training camps are their

reasons they're not crazy reasons and

attacking the hoodies well it's a really

good reason it's a really good

reason but um then Thomas Massie went

further he went to

grock and he said uh expressed expressed

in billions of dollars list the five

countries and five corporations that

will benefit the most from the US

military activity to eliminate shipping

disruptions caused by the hoodies in the

Red Sea and according to Gro the

countries that would benefit the most

are China Saudi Germany Japan South

Korea and the US is not in the top five

and then of the corporations none of the

corporations are American the top five

so this would suggest that America is

just sort of creating another reason to

spend another $50 billion because the

old reason is is decaying the Ukraine

war and they just need a new

military-industrial complex War to keep

selling

weapons now that's a pretty good

prediction so I take it very

seriously on the other hand I went to

perplex the AI and I asked the following

question so sort of an AI battle here I

said perplexity AI um what would be the

change

in um inflation rates in the United

States if the hoodie thing is not

resolved and according to perplexity our

current inflation rate is around 3

perish and that if things went the way

they're going in the next year the cost

of shipping not just to the US but to

other places that you know might end up

as us products at some point that our

inflation rate from that alone could go

from 3% to 5% in a

year because the shipping cost would

just be

outrageous now do you believe that do

you believe that perplexity AI is a good

source do you believe that when it says

our inflation would go from 3 to 5%

which would be devastating by the way

that would be a devastating

economic um

problem um that's not just a little

little percentage going from 3 to 5%

that's pain that's some serious pain so

and that it would be by next year which

is pretty

close

so here's my take I don't think you can

trust the

perplexity um estimate but I also don't

trust Gro

estimate because I don't think that it's

it's understanding that some of those

countries like China I don't believe

China is being attacked by the

hoodies and I'm not sure that grock knew

that and I think that China is not being

attacked by the hoodies because they

have a better relationship with Iran and

Iran is running the

hoodies so I don't trust grock on this

question and I don't trust perplexity on

this question but the thing we know for

sure is it's really really making our uh

shipping prices go up it's creating

delays long

delays and it's creating

uncertainty

and um so I am in favor of the attacks

but I'm not in favor of the attacks if

they have a you know sort of a pin prick

hey if we'll stop doing this or we'll

come back we almost have to completely

destroy every technological capability

they have uh back to the point where you

just severely destroyed that part of the

country if you don't go that far I think

we can say for sure it won't make any

difference they'll just reconstitute and

get new weapons from Iran and as long as

there's anybody alive Iran will say are

you still alive yes I am would you like

something to do and maybe you'll make

some money too uh I don't have any other

options okay here's some missiles and

some drones just send these at American

shipping you almost have to get to the

point where there's nobody left now I'm

not in favor of

genocide but how else is it going to

stop and and do we have a

legitimate self-defense I think it's

legitimate

and unfortunately it's a part of the

world where if anybody's left they'll

keep fighting it it's not like

traditional enemies of our past where if

you give them a really serious black eye

they'll say okay I don't want to do that

again so you know let's work something

out it will never be like that it will

never be like that if there's anybody

left that one person will be firing a

missile so I don't want to say that I'm

in favor of just wiping out the entire

civilization but what's the other way

that

works can anybody can you give me a

better idea because here's what we can't

do we can't surrender in the in the Red

Sea we can't

surrender so I get I think that they get

to choose whatever outcome they want and

the outcome that they seem to have

chosen is complete destruction of their

own civilization

I feel like it's just their own choice

and I feel like if they need some

compassion they should talk to AI

because I don't have

any and if they if they want to kill all

of their

children by screwing with shipping to

the point where it just makes sense for

the the uh people who don't want to be

killed to kill all of their

children I'm not in favor of it

but I'm not the one choosing

it I'm not choosing it that that is

their own choice and if Trump wants to

deliver to them exactly what they've

chosen I'm not going to complain too

much all

right meanwhile uh Trump has ordered the

uh shutdown of something called the

global media USA GM Global media now

that was the entity that oversaw The

Voice of America Radio free Europe Radio

Liberty so these are all the uh media

broadcasting things that we would

broadcast

propaganda uh but it was left-wing

propaganda from the United States it was

sort of anti-conservative so if we had a

conservative Allied country we were even

working against our own

allies because because they might have

been more concerned conservative and the

radio was propaganda that was more left

leaning now Carrie Lake had been put in

charge of um I'm a little unclear if she

was in charge of Voice of America or the

entire uh agency they had some other

entities but um she did a video today by

the way if um if she's in charge of the

entire thing um she'll we we'll figure

that out by the end of the

show um she's doing a great job job

because the whole idea was you know get

in there and find out if any of this

makes sense to keep alive and it looks

like she has decided that uh at least to

a large extent it doesn't need to exist

and she she did a video today about a

brand new really expensive looking

building that was built for this entity

that's

empty um and I guess the plan was to

move you know from the existing building

to this building

but as she points out this new building

um it's empty and it would they would

spend a quar of a billion dollars uh per

year on an empty

building and they could have just fixed

up the building they were in and now I

think that option is going to go away

and there won't be anybody to be in any

building because it just wasn't a good

enough reason so yes it does look like

this was yet another situation in which

there was enough oversight and probably

a lot of money got pushed to cronies and

friends and well-connected people to

build a building that didn't need to be

built and maybe maybe it wouldn't have

made sense if we'd all known what was

going on so good job Carrie

Lake um Mike Ben is uh he's he's having

the time of his life I think watching

Doge uncover all the things that he's

been warning this about but we didn't

quite understand you know we we couldn't

kind of conceive of the larger picture

because it's just so large and you

really have to wallow in it to get any

sense of what's really going on but

here's a little sample from Mye

Benz uh apparently uh

usaid gave George soros's open Society

Foundation $5

million for its NGS so Soros had some

NGS in a in a little country called

Macedonia that has fewer than two

million people in it and the money was

go going to create uh to train citizens

with a little book a

booklet uh that would uh train them to

protest using Saul olinsky's Rules for

Radicals you know what that is right so

American activist Saul

Alinsky uh had his own book uh Rules for

Radicals and it teach you to do things

like oh I don't know organize protests

against Tesla sound familiar and mock

people and call them Communists sound

familiar or or call them Nazis sound

familiar so apparently we were spending

our money to train people in Macedonia

to use solinsky's Rules for

Radicals that's right we gave money to a

billionaire to teach Teach an Eastern

European country how to do a rent a riot

rent a riot which is exactly what you're

seeing happening with the Tesla protest

it's just a rental

RI bye cernovich had a interesting

observation today on X he said uh

remember when the quote smart people who

write about politics for living were

saying the January 6 pardons were a huge

deal and really would hurt Trump

uh LMFAO he says remember when those PE

remember that those people are

losers they don't leave their bubbles

they are always wrong keep

pushing that's a really good observation

um I have to I have to admit that when

the January 6 pardons happened which I

was fully in favor of and fully in favor

of pardoning everybody didn't didn't

care what they did so I'm all in on that

completely

but I did

worry that maybe it would create a

weakness that would be exploited by the

left to say there you see those pardons

but it's been weirdly

quiet and I think it's because partly

because so many things are happening so

quickly that the Democrats could never

really aim at anything if it had been

the only thing that happened and there

had never been a doge it probably would

have been a target maybe it would have

made more difference politically but now

it just seems like it was 10 years ago

you know we're all on Trump time you

know every Trump year is seven years and

I'm thinking to myself like who would

care about the January 6 pardons wasn't

that at least seven years

ago almost can't remember them and and

it became so small uh looking in the

hindsight um but also here's what I

wonder and maybe maybe this is something

the Trump Administration needs to look

into but I don't know how they could

because this would be totally a States

issue who gets to control the history

books about January

6 in other words will the children of uh

let's say a year from now or two years

from now are they going to learn that

there wasn't an attempt to overthrow the

country by Republicans on January 6th is

that what the is that what the history

books will say because it's not true or

will they say that the

protesters uh were trying to save the

country from what they thought was an

obvious Insurrection by the left and

they were trying to make sure that the

election had not been rigged because it

certainly looked like it

had or will the history book say well

there are two points of view on this

some people say this some people people

say that I don't remember history books

ever doing that do you remember any

history that you've ever read where the

history was well you know some

interpreted it this way some interpreted

it that way no they just sort of told

you what happened and then you got

tested on it so what are they going to

tell your children what happened and

does the federal government have any way

to control that or should they maybe the

federal government should stay out of it

but the state government gets to buy the

uh the textbooks right so the market

will decide and so if the state

government in blue States decides oh

we'll buy these textbooks to say

Republicans are the devil then they

will and if Texas and Florida say get

those textbooks out of here because

we're not going to sell propaganda to

our

children well then that's what'll happen

in those States

so I feel like we're at the verge of

having two different histories a blue

State history and a red State history

and I don't know does the federal

government have anything to say about

that should they I don't know I don't

have I don't have an answer for this one

it's just it's a big problem if we can

watch History being written incorrectly

right in front of us and I think that's

going to

happen meanwhile in Mexico a truly scary

thing happened so Mexican authorities

found some kind of uh fairly

huge crematorium for getting rid of

people now I can't tell if it was for

cremating people who were already dead

or the worst thing that maybe that's how

they killed those people but apparently

they just found hundreds of you know

shoes and clothing meaning that there

were hundreds of people in involved and

there're human bones and obviously was a

cartel operation uh in the western state

of

alisco uh and it might be the I'm I'm

pronouncing the J as an H halisco

cartel I don't know maybe that's right

um but here's the big picture apparently

there are

12,000 what are called forcibly

disappeared people in

Mexico a

120,000 now this is over multiple years

of course but there are 122

120,000 people who presumably were

rounded up by

cartels and just

disappeared well for that volume you

would have to have some way to get rid

of a lot of

bodies and horribly this might be how

they did

it incredible

anyway you heard about the activist

judge and Obama appointee of course um

who said that uh Trump can't use the

1798 alien enemies act to get rid of the

Venezuelan gangs so apparently there was

some kind of old uh law on the books

that Trump was using to say all right uh

you can Deport all these gang members

and some of them were already on planes

and this judge said nope uh you got to

take at least a 14-day pause so it's a

pause I guess they got 14 days to work

it out

and even to the point of telling the

airplanes to turn around if they were in

the

air now I'm getting just exhausted in

talking about all the bad judges and the

lawfare and how they're trying to stop

Trump and every single thing he does

because they all sound the same Trump

tried to do something that's common

sense and good for the

country a an Obama or Biden appointed

judge stopped him for reasons that sound

ridiculous but eventually a a higher

Court overturned that stupid judge and

then we're back in business but here's a

new challenge from a new obama-appointed

judge and a new problem and then you

just rins it repeat rinse and repeat so

they all started sounding the same after

after a while but a uh related wrinkle

is that uh Marco Rubio is reporting he

said uh we we have sent two dangerous

top MS13 leaders plus 21 of its Most

Wanted back to face Justice in El

Salvador and so we've got a deal worked

out with El

Salvador um where uh we sent 250 members

of this trenda araga gang to El Salvador

which has agreed to hold them in the El

Salvador jails at a fair price so we're

saving

money and uh getting them held in a

secure facility with a friendly

country and

uh um and secretary Rubio says that

President uh Bui of El Salvador is not

only the strongest secure leader in our

region uh he's also a great friend of

the US thank you now I got to say this

bu Kelly guy he does some amazingly

smart

things and one of the amazingly smart

things is this simply offering to use

their existing

facilities to handle some of the worst

people and we didn't I don't think we

asked him I think he volunteered it

which is such a strong move it would be

one thing if we you know tried to lean

on them a little bit and said well you

know we're like your big brother so

maybe you should do us a solid all right

if I have to that's so different then we

don't know we've got this problem we

don't know how to solve it and then he

raises his hand and says I have a

solution I can save you some money and

take care of this

completely and then he

does that is so ball

so so baller and the fact that uh Rubio

says he's the strongest security leader

in our region did that include the

United

States did he just say that El

Salvador's you know better in security

than the United

States because I wouldn't

disagree um you know we're trying to

catch up but that's a hell of a

thing anyway uh according to Ted to no

Todd Todd Lions who's the acting

director of ice apparently Biden was

cooking the books on his ice arrest oh

big surprise how many people didn't know

that that Biden was lying about the

numbers of course he was but one

specific way he was lying is that they

were uh categorizing people that they

processed and then released into the

interior of the United States as is AR

does it count as an ice arrest if all

you do is release them into the United

States to me that would be called ice

not doing his job or ice not arresting

them but if they were technically

arrested and then they were processed

and then released without any penalty

into the United

States I'm not sure I would call that as

an ice

arrest but Biden did look at all those

arrests we're

doing anyway uh Mario and naal was

reminding us of this

story um then do you remember that uh

the one of the smartest people for the

Democrats one of their one of their

Geniuses called James Carville who's uh

even smarter than Bill Burr barely um no

I'm joking uh carville's actually pretty

smart but he did realize that the democ

RS have no skill and no leadership and

no plan so he came up with the genius

idea of doing nothing uh we're going to

call it the playing posum strategy well

I here's what you should do uh since we

don't have anybody who can do anything

useful and we don't have any leaders we

don't have anybody with Charisma uh we

don't have anybody who's got good

policies and we don't have anybody who's

not a complete loser so what we're going

to do is we're going to play dead in

about 30 days

the media will pick apart whatever Trump

is doing so his popularity will plunge

so just do nothing because the more you

do something the stupider we look so

stop doing something every time you do

something you look stupid Jasmine

Crockett Maxine Waters

Schumer he had a

point the the the people that the

Democrats were putting out front not

really really the best look not really

the best look so in sort of a you know

I've given up all hope he decided that

if they just did nothing that might be

their best

play so let's check in on that it's been

about 30 days and uh rasmason just did a

poll and found out uh

oh uh his his approval is

52% the same

as I think he's at a high point

so Trump's success according to rasmus's

at High Point uh now if any of you are

polling

nerds uh if you've ever heard how the

the left talks about the Rasmus and pole

do you know what they say about

him so the rasmon pole is often uh let's

say a different result than the bulk of

the other poles that lean left so the

ones that LE left say oh the rasmon pole

come on you you can't take them

seriously because they're right leaning

you know as if the others are not left

leing so you can't take them seriously

because they have this you know pro-

Republican bias and by the way we have

questions about their

methodology now since you and I are not

pollsters we don't really know what that

means like what's wrong with their

methodology why is your methodology

right and there's a wrong but here's

what they leave out rasmason

consistently does better whenever you

could

check so one of the ways that you could

check well let me give you an example of

something you can't check if if you are

six months away from an

election and rasmuson says the

Republicans are doing well uh but all

the left polls say well not that well

you know the Republicans are actually a

little underwater you can't really check

because the only thing you'd have to

check are other polls so you don't have

a

result you just have something that is

pollers

disagree the only time you can really

know if the posters are are good or bad

is on Election Day so if you were to

check the election day presidential

results of

rasmason versus all the other pollsters

where do you think rasmason would be

right near the top

so whenever you can

check okay now we know for sure because

we have the actual

vote

rasmuson I think they got the last three

um one of the best for the last three so

whenever you see that complaint just

remind yourself whenever you can't check

they'll say oh you can't trust them

they've got bias they've got this

methodology that we criticize whenever

you can know who was right there they

are and they're they're they're

reminding people of that fact this week

so it's kind of fun to

watch anyway uh but how are the

Democrats doing

apparently apparently there's new survey

uh that the Democrat favorability is at

a new record low of

29% so uh you know how the uh

the the midterm

elections pretty much always

historically have gone uh against

whoever the incumbent president is so if

the president's Republican you can

largely depend historically speaking

that the midterm elections would put

more Democrats in charge and they would

have some control of at least one part

of

Congress this might be the first time

that doesn't happen because that is such

a bad branding for the Democrats it

would be hard to imagine that they could

somehow you know keep the historical

norm and and uh you know gain power

compared to the president when I feel

like doge is going to keep getting more

popular the more corruption they find so

we'll

see

um meanwhile over in Israel their

defense Minister says that they're only

a year away from deploying what they

call the iron beam it's this giant laser

air defense system it's supposed to be

operational by the end of this year

actually so less than a year and here's

what that means in terms of cost so the

existing Iron Dome systems fire

basically a missile to stop another

missile or to stop a

drone um but every time you fire a

missile it's really expensive so might

be like A40 to

$50,000 every time the Iron Dome sends

up an intercept

$50,000 for every intercept and there

would be a lot of them so it gets really

expensive really quickly but let's

compare that to what it would cost to

per shot for this new radar system

closer to

$3

$3 compared to 40 to 50,000

$3 per shot so they could spend

$3 to knock down the

enemy's far more expensive

missile now apparently it's not perfect

if the weather is a certain way it's not

going to work as well uh so we'll see

about that you know maybe they need both

because if the weather is bad they need

a different system maybe the lasers are

strong enough or will improve enough

that they can just zip right through the

fog and you know burn the fog out of the

way before it hits the target

maybe um but if this thing works uh I'd

like to order a hundred of

them I don't know what the base units

cost so it's probably pretty expensive

to you know get the the base unit but

once you've got that $3 per

shot that's

amazing um you should read my book uh

God's be the complete works because the

middle book of the of the trilogy if you

can call it that is about a future in

which this sort of uh missile defense

was already uh implemented but in the

book uh there were some of them were

implemented on um C

platforms because you want to stop the

missile well before it reaches your you

know your Shores so you'd put the

platform you know well off the uh Coast

so it could get them as early as

possible before they reach the

coast um and then well I won't tell you

it's a it's a great book you should read

it it's called God's debris the complete

works just check out the uh check out

the ratings and the reviews

online uh you're going to see some

reviews that are just blow your mind

some of the best reviews for a book

you'll ever see

meanwhile uh according to

Reuters uh let's talk about Ukraine um

mcon of France say declared that uh

Russia has no say in whether NATO troops

enter

Ukraine uh because Russia wants to have

no no kind of European peacekeepers in

Ukraine uh but Britain and France are

thinking about putting some there and

mrcon wants to know that it's just up to

Ukraine if Ukraine wants some European

peacekeepers that's up to

Ukraine to which I say

um what would Trump's plan be for

keeping Ukraine safe is it only the

mineral deals like if if we have enough

economic

entanglements Russia won't

attack or does it trust that um Russia

won't attack as long as Trump's office

and maybe that could extend to

hypothetically a JD Vance

Administration is that the only thing

we'd be depending on the the personal

connection would it

be um what would it be now other when I

I said something like this online and

somebody said uh why do you why do you

think it's the the United States

obligation to protect Ukraine and I said

I didn't say that where did I say It's

Our obligation to protect Ukraine I've

never said that what I do think is if

you want a durable peace deal it should

make sense to the people involved and

it's definitely in the United States

benefit to end a war and get out of that

region and just say all right we're done

and we ended a war and uh we're not in

favor of

Wars that's good

uh especially if it prevents some future

Democrat from spending another hundred

billion dollars right back in

Ukraine so we do have an interest in

unwinding our

entanglement and that might re you know

that's going to depend on both sides

thinking that the deal makes sense so

what would be Trump's response to well

if uh if Ukraine wants these

peacekeepers of course that would

prevent any kind of a peace deal um but

what would Trump

do I think he needs to make a better

case for why why Ukraine would be

safe um because I think that's missing

now I think he could do it I I think

there's room there to do it but I'd like

to hear it I'd like to hear a little

more you know what what would Ukraine do

to protect themselves now some of it

might be will will send

Ukraine more drones I don't know does

that would that count as a the same

thing as boots on the ground I don't

know but I'd love to know if Trump has a

more Innovative you know out of the box

concept for this because he might I I

suspect he has he has an answer but

maybe it's just not revealed to us in

full so we'll see

um apparently there's a bill being

introduced Now by US Representative a

republican uh riy Moore West Virginia

and it's a bill to ban Chinese Nationals

from getting student Visas so they're

about

300,000 Chinese residents not residents

Chinese Nationals so they're they're

they're not American citizens they're

Chinese and they come to the United

States for student Vas

now my understanding is that the reason

that our universities like to have

foreign students is that they pay full

price and the so it basically subsidizes

the college and the American students

often have scholarships and stuff like

that so they just make more money on the

foreign students but uh I'm in favor of

this I would have tied it to fentel

though um you've heard me say it before

that we should just send home a handful

of Chinese students for every day that

there's a fenal

death um so I would tie it to fenel but

I like where he's coming

from meanwhile Gateway pundit is

reporting uh that Trump revoked the

security clearances for yet another Law

Firm the Paul Weiss law

firm and um suffice to say that this Law

Firm has done a number of things that

seemed uh politically biased and or

inappropriate to

Republicans and one of them was uh I'll

just give you one

example um back in 2021 one of the

partners in that law firm uh did a pro

bono lawsuit against

Patriots on the January 6th day so it

was somebody who didn't even charge

money

to put together lawsuits against the

protesters on January 6 now I assume it

was the protesters who maybe did some

violence or something but but that would

be you know part of the complaint is

that they were politically biased now I

don't know too much about the law firm

so I don't have an opinion about whether

they should be um they should be uh what

I guess the action would uh cut him off

from any kind of government contracts or

and also gets rid of their security

clearance uh so it would be a pretty big

deal but here here's my take on

this do you remember the time when Trump

couldn't get uh good lawyers to defend

him against massive waves of lawfare and

it was because the lawyers were afraid

that if they got

political meaning just defending Trump

that it would cost them later the law

firm would suffer and you know they

wouldn't be able to get regular clients

except for that and that was a big

problem and I thought to myself that's

one of the worst things I've ever seen

that you create law fair for a candidate

that's already as bad as you can get and

then and then you make it impossible for

that that person to get good

representation now I think Trump

ultimately got great representation

because he did navigate the lawfare

stuff really well so I'm no

lawyer but just judging it from you know

a lay person's perspective it feels to

me that the the legal team that Trump

eventually put together you while he was

out of office I think they were great

does anybody have a disagreement with

that be the fact was that what they

needed to do was stall and minimize the

damage and you know and and play for him

to get reelected basically so that the

rest of it could go away

so I feel like they did a great job now

I don't know if this will hurt them in

the future if they you know can't get

regular jobs again but the fact that

there was ever that much pressure on

lawyers who were going to help

Trump I I can't feel any sympathy for

him getting

revenge now I'm sure they don't call it

Revenge

they call it something like getting rid

of bias in the legal process or

something like that but I don't think it

would happen if they hadn't gone after

Trump

so there is a

price yeah the yeah the the lawyers that

help Trump are probably red listed

that's probably true so as long as

that's true mutually assur Destruction

has been

activated and I can't say that

I can't say that I'm opposed to it I

hate that we're in this situation so I

hate that lawyers had pressure not to

help Trump and I also hate that there's

pressure against anybody for what they

did politically so I can hate both of it

but it does look like mutually sure

Destruction has kicked in and I don't

hate that I don't hate that because

sometimes it's just the only thing you

can do so I don't know that that can get

us to a good place where people can just

be lawyers and there's no

lawfare but as long as there's law fair

and there's red listing of people who

help

Republicans then I think Republicans

have a free pass to destroy every Law

Firm that they can

destroy they had some hand in it I hate

it I hate the whole thing I hate it from

top to bottom but sometimes you know

sometimes you got to pull a

tooth

anyway according to

neoscope and writer Nel

s um that over in Great Britain they've

come up with a mRNA technology stop it

listen uh that has proven effective well

no Take that part away uh they've

created a vaccine for for

cancer using the MRNA

platform now um apparently they're

getting some kind of good indications

that it works I don't have any I don't

have information that says it cured

anything but it must be curing something

because they're pretty happy with it and

they're they're taking it wider now

apparently what it does is you have to

take a uh biopsy and you have to adjust

the what they call a vaccination why do

they call it a vaccination it doesn't

vaccinate because you've already got the

cancer by the time you take it I don't

know so I guess that word vaccination is

getting kind of overused but uh they'll

take the

specific cancer from a specific person

so it's not even just the type of cancer

it's got to be specific to the person

and uh then they design their quote

vaccination uh around that specific one

and they they think it's going to have

great promise now I'd love to hear was

there anybody who had an incurable

cancer that's already been cured or did

it just slow it down a little bit or did

it only work on cancers that maybe there

was some other treatment too but they

think this would be maybe gentler I

don't know so I have many many questions

but um it sounds promising now if you're

going to say to me but Scott if they if

they get the MRNA it's going to cause

other problems with them I don't think

the people who are dying of cancer are

worried too much about that um so that

that certainly changes it's not like

we're it's not like Co where you could

say to yourself all right Co barely

killed anybody so you don't want to take

a chance on the

treatment but if the cancer is going to

kill everybody let's say it's the the

kind with there's no treatment then I

don't know certainly the risk profile

changes completely right what are your

other options is there a second way to

cure an incurable cancer if this cures

any incurable cancer and again they

don't say that but they're sort of

leaning in that direction if it cures

any incurable cancer I think the last

thing the patients going to be worrying

about is that they got some I don't know

mRNA Badness in their body whatever that

is so we'll see good luck with

that sooner the better all right ladies

and

gentlemen that's what I got for you

today it's a fun Sunday the news is all

kind of interesting uh but I think
