we've got something going come on technology technology come on there we go it's all working boom good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott ads and you've never had a better day but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny brains all you need for that is a cuper mug glass a tanker chel St a canteen J or flask or Fel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the UN the unparalleled pleasure the the dopamine of the day shut up the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go all right I have to come clean uh my local local subscribers already know this but my coffee maker is broken uh and my other coffee maker is broken so my Main coffee maker and my backup coffee maker are neither of them are working so this was not actual coffee and it just ruins the whole experience let me tell you anyway but enough about that happy St.

Patrick's Day I'm a little bit Irish a little bit I'm more Irish today because it's St.

Patrick's Day but a little bit Irish speaking of other countries uh there's a law French lawmaker who is calling for the return of the Statue of Liberty because I guess he doesn't like Trump so that's normal um and I don't think we should return the Statue of Liberty what do you think I don't think we should but I've got an idea of just rotating at 180° and removing the torch and replacing it with the finger so that the statue is just giving the finger to France okay that would be funny um but I but I do think the Democrats probably would agree with getting rid of the Statue of Liberty because have you noticed that the Statue of Liberty has been giving a a Nazi salute yeah they sort of trick you by putting the torch in the hand but that just just makes it worse it's like it's a Nazi salute and you want to burn everything down with your torch I think that should be deeply condemned and we should remove the Statue of Liberty and give it back to France you know after we change the torch to a finger well believe it or not according to sa poost there's a study about twins that suggests that uh it turns out you you won't believe this this will be hard to believe but rational thinking is genetically linked to intelligence and it challenges the idea that decision making is a separate skill so in other words they found out that you can't teach stupid people how to be smart by teaching them how to think now I could have saved them a little bit of time because I once tried to teach my dog to read and she just refused she she never learned to read but uh no it is not true that you can teach you cannot teach dumb people to be smart by teaching them how to think better you know Bob I've been noticing noticing that you're a franking but I think I can fix that with a few tweaks uh did you know that if you were to look at let's say the information pro and con you would get get a better result really I could I should look at the information on both sides of an issue yes you should Bob why don't you try that next time all right I will and then what does Bob do does Bob look at the information on both sides of the issue next time because you taught Bob how to be a better decision maker nope Bob will forget that advice before you turn around and walk out the door because Bob is not smart it's been my my observation that all smart people tend to think alike rationally it's definitely it's definitely genetic now I will say though I will say that if you're starting with a smart person you can definitely teach them some extra tools such as how to spot fake news that's useful right I've been teaching most of you how to do that and most of you do know you so you often say to me oh that one's too on the NOS that's one of the things I teach you oh there's just one source and it's Anonymous that's one of the things I teach you uh Etc so you can teach smart people how to be even smarter but if you're trying to take teach a dumb person how to think like a smart person good luck with that could have just asked me save a little time here's a story that makes my heart sing the Trump Administration is targeting 45 universities uh over their anti-white discrimination um Hannah Nightingale of the post-millennials writing about this so instead of a making decisions or having any kind of policies that are race related um they're being challenged to get rid of that stuff and the universities are going to be in a little trouble because one of the things that the Trump Administration seems to be willing to use as a tool is removing Federal funding for um research and grants which apparently I didn't know this until recently is such a major funding for a lot of the big schools that if they lost the Federal research and grant money they they'd be in real financial trouble I mean it's a major source I guess anyway so this is especially satisfying to me that that essentially the Dei stuff has become illegal and when I say become illegal it was always illegal it's just we didn't treat it that way until Trump so you might remember that this is about right now it's about two years since I got cancelled does anybody remember me getting cancelled of course you do now the interesting thing about my cancellation is I realized the other day that you know my my lasting Legacy you know the way I'll be remembered by search engines and AI will be two things that didn't happen so my primary Legacy will be based on things that didn't happen that aren't true number one that I gave a racist rant and that's why I got cancelled that didn't happen I was ranting Against Racism very specifically I was against people who are racist and I said wow why would I want to live with a bunch of racists I would want to live where they're not which is literally what every single person in the world would agree with why would you want to live where you know there a bunch of racists now of course I've never been in favor of racism against an individual you know not in hiring not in dating not in Friendship not in picking teams nothing so of course I've always been you know Against Racism so I've been Against Racism against individuals but also if there's a group that seems to be extra racist according to data and there was Data then I say said maybe you should not spend time with people who are a little more racist against you than you're comfortable with every single person in the world agrees with that but I got canceled so how much pleasure do you think I get watching the thing I I canceled for become illegal a lot it's satisfying on a level that you can barely understand but I'll always be remembered as the guy who made the racist rant because the news is fake history is fake the history books are fake and mostly what the AI will tell you in the future will be fake unfortunately um the other thing I'll be remembered for is a thing that definitely didn't happen which is all of my opinions about the uh pandemic being reversed so one of the things I'm most proud of um is that I had the best opinions in the pandemic of any public figure by far it wasn't even close most people believe that my opinions were the opposite of what they were so people believe I was promoting vaccines no that never happened not once and so I'll be remembered for two things that definitely didn't happen in any real world but that's you know that's the fate of of public figures you you get remembered for the opposite of whatever whatever ever you were doing anyway the big story of the day is that uh Trump is trying to cancel the pardons that uh that Biden made they were made with the autopen now the autopen is what presidents use to sign things when they're not physically available but you know things that they've agreed to so it's not there's nothing sketchy about it the way it's been used in the past however given what we know about Biden's Administration and given what we know about his mental uh Acuity at the time and given that there were some last minute pardons it's not clear that Biden even knew they happened so does Trump have a good case well um the smart thing that Trump is doing and is consistently done is he says well if the courts disagree then we'll follow the court and that's very disarming it's very non- dictator and that's what he's doing here so he's taking it he's taking a run at it that doesn't mean he'll succeed so the Supreme Court could say no autopen counts you know there's nothing you can do about it otherwise blah blah blah so I've got a feeling he has no better than I don't know since I don't know much about the court or how it would r rule I'm going to say 50% chance that it will stick but boy is this got to be scary to the what what he calls the unselect group the people who ran the uh what I would consider the fake impeachment um things or the the fake January St six stuff and they do have some explaining to do and there's a good reason that they wanted their pardons so this one's getting really dicey getting really dicey because uh if Trump succeeds in undoing the pardons because of the autopen um Adam schiff's probably going to jail Liz Cheney probably going to jail because I do believe that the the legal system would find the they did um some pretty illegal things so at the very least they would be destroyed by the legal process which would be you know gigantically burdensome and my feeling about a lot of this stuff is that and Lindsey Graham did the best explanation on a new show that once you look at the context of what these same people did to Trump they tried to destroy him politically they tried to destroy his entire business they tried to destroy his family and they tried to put him in jail for the rest of his life they did much the same to people who supported him they went after the lawyers who supported him they went after his supporters in every way that they could and in normal times I would say you know maybe let the past go you know that yeah there was some dirty tricks there but you know let's let's not dwell on that let's move forward let's look forward but if you look at the totality of the pure evil that was aimed to him I'm 100% in favor of his revenge because it feels personal uh you know I feel like I got dragged down by the same the same bad guys you know let but do you think I ever would have been cancelled if it hadn't been for the Trump connection nope nope I don't think I would have been and so these are all of my enemies too and I wouldn't mind seeing them taken down completely just destroyed because I do think they earned it and I do think it would look like justice to me like real Justice not not the Revenge I'm you know I'm happy my team one kind of Justice I don't want that kind I'm not looking for the my team one your team lost kind of Justice nope I want the actual real kind where if you're a for years and years and years and you're the most evil lying piece of shits in the world it's time for you to get flushed and I'm here for it so if Trump can get away with this that would be very good I would love it I don't think he will I've got a feeling the Supreme Court is going to say uh we don't need this it's a little little too much trouble so maybe regardless of you know the legality of it I still think the Supreme Court might say you know we're going to find a reason not to do this because it would just be too destructive to The Republic and they might right but I'm still for it um as you know lots of uh conservatives have been swatted lately conservative pundits um so data Republican you all know who she is right data Republican is a great data um analyst which feels like too little because she's so good that feels like she needs her own label but anyway she did an analysis of uh I think there are now third or 14 people have been swatted recently but she had a list of 10 or so andt an analysis using AI to try to find out what they had in common uh and Al which would maybe help you figure out you who was after them uh but also to maybe predict who would be next here are some of the things that um that she found in common so a lot of the people who got swatted um engaged with Elon Musk on X uh their real life identities were known so they weren't pseudonyms or anything they used their real names or at least their real names were easy to find like CAD turd um they had good number of followers usually over 50,000 but actually most of the time over 150,000 uh there were often guests who were employees for Infowars uh war room or similar alt media kind of shows on the right uh then there's this one expressed pro-israel or at least the anti Hamas sentiments okay um frequently Amplified others swatting victims in the past so it seems like a network of people who boosted each other and many of them were Amplified by based Mike Lee and the targets were all male the targets were all male that's interesting um so data data Republican said uh that her current leading theory is that it's a terrorist campaign targeting X and influencers connected to Elon Musk so and then somebody said but what about the fact that they might be anti- Ukraine and data Republican this is why she's so good she says that the anti- Ukraine doesn't add add much signal meaning that since most of the conservative world is anti- Ukraine at the moment you can't really say these ones got swatted because they're anti- Ukraine because sort of everybody was um so I don't know so I guess the theory that it's it's a anti- Elon Musk I I would say that's a possibility could be could be just anti-trump um I don't know U but it could be static terrorism which is just making it easier to attack a certain group of people who speak out but uh we'll see we'll see uh um that's a good analysis I don't think it gives us an answer but it you know maybe maybe it defines the things a little bit better so we know what to look for and maybe it will have an effect could have you know if if the analysis got anywhere near the truth it might slow it down because now we would be looking for these signals we'd say okay uh did you say anything about did you interact with Elon Musk Etc now even the interacting with Elon Musk thing uh to me that's not much of a signal because musk does interact with a whole bunch of people um and multiple times sometimes so he's interacted with me a number of times and uh so I don't know he's interacted with so many people I'm not sure that that's the signal it looks like Anyway president Trump says he's going to talk to uh Putin uh tomorrow and doesn't it seem to you like that's way too long to wait I mean just think about the fact that there are people in ditches shooting at each other and dying you around K and all around the front lines because I assume the fighting is just going crazy even though they're talking peace so it's just so weird that you'd say hey can I call you tomorrow is there really no reason they can talk today are are they not prepared do do they have something more important there are people literally just getting torn to pieces on the front lines for no reason because you know it looks like things are going to wind up so anybody who gets killed or wounded today that's a complete waste of humanity so I don't I just don't know how you you say Hey you available tomorrow is tomorrow good today is good like right now is good that that's how I feel now if if we got something done tomorrow that was important that you know I'd be pretty happy about it but this whole thing about you know if you're serious about ending The Killing tomorrow is really too long but on the other hand you don't want to act too eager because that might hurt your negotiating position but really how about today that's my take anyway um according to the New York Post Trump said uh we want to see if we can bring that war to an end um he he says maybe we can maybe we can't I think we have a very good chance now I think he's talking about his conversation tomorrow that maybe they're they're far enough along that he might be able to close a deal that seems like a stretch um and he said uh a lot of work's been done over the weekend now a lot of works been done means that they're close to a deal and I don't think he'd make the call you know even though you know there's urgency I don't think he'd make the call tomorrow unless he felt like there was some chance that whatever remaining issues are you could close on now remember how I always tell you that you should expect at least one walk away in a in a big negotiation there's usually this point where one side says all right nope nope we're done and and they walk away and they pretend or sometimes it's real that nope I'm done dealing with you I cannot make a deal now what that can do is cause the one who got walked away on to say all right all right I'll offer you a little bit more but I'm not sure there'll be a walk away on this one and the reason is they're both too smart if if Trump did A Walk Away Putin would say that's not real he'll come back if Putin did A Walk Away Trump would say that's not real he'll come back so I think they both know each other well enough that a walk away would just look sort of stupid because you're dealing with two people who are way above the the line you they both understand how everything works right there's no dumb one and no smart one there just two brilliant people who know how to do this exactly if you know how to do this which is negotiate the hard stuff and they do then the walkway is a little bit unnecessary um it the walk away is sort of what you do if you're dealing with somebody who's just not good at it or or somebody who's at least not world class at it um so I'm going to predict this would be one of those r negotiations with no walk away so which is a bold that's a pretty big prediction because you you just normally see a walkway I just don't think there will be in this case because the equality of the two people negotiating well Putin said he wants an ironclad guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO now do you remember when the head of NATO said nope there's no chance that Ukraine is going to be part of NATO and then you realized okay that was after talking to Trump so probably Trump is the one who told NATO to say there's no way Ukraine's going to be part of it and then you said to yourself but wait Trump's giving away something for nothing like we don't have a deal yet like why would he give that away you know wouldn't that be the thing that you would keep as your negotiating card and then you say to yourself is that really giving anything away how could you ever give an ironclad guarantee that nobody will ever change their mind about Ukraine joining NATO you can't all it would take is somebody to say I changed my mind that's it so if Trump and NATO say yep we guarantee it there's no way Ukraine will ever be part of NATO what exactly are they giving up nothing that's literally nothing because Putin knows they can just change their mind and they know they could just change their mind now they wouldn't do it unless probably unless situation changed but if the situation changed you don't think they could NATO up in about five minutes yeah if they wanted to and they had some strategic reason to do it yes now I don't think they want to and I don't think they'll have that strategic reason but it's a weird one because the thing that Putin wants the most is the cheapest to give to him it literally doesn't cost anything and and there's and it doesn't even bind us because if it if it would became a you know important security consideration yeah Ukraine would get NATO up in five minutes so how in the world could you guarantee such a thing now on the other side Putin has the same situation we'd like him to guarantee that if we make a deal he won't make a move on the rest of Ukraine at some later date how in the world could that ever be guaranteed it can't so the two things that the sides want the most important two things you know one wants NATO and the other wants a guarantee that there would be no future attacks that's something that both sides can say okay because it's not giving away anything there's no asset there it's nothing you're not giving away anything because both sides could just change their mind tomorrow and it's not like we can ask for collateral right we can't say I'll tell you what uh we we'll hold Moscow as collateral and in case you attack we get to keep Moscow no there's no way you can put collateral on it what what kind of guarantee could you ever come up with now I'd love to be wrong I'd love to find out that there's some clever way you could guarantee this sort of thing but I don't think so yeah so that that'll be the hard part how in the world do you do something that would guarantee anything when both of them absolutely need guarantees I don't know it's going to be really interesting I do think they can get it done but only because they're both incentivized to do it they both want it done and they might trust each other at least in the short run but long run I don't know nothing can be guaranteed in the long run well let's talk about the leaders of the Democrats um Josh Shapiro governor of Pennsylvania was on Bill Marshall and Bill Mar was you know talking about him as a potential you know future leader of the Democrats and he said that the people said that uh you Josh Shapiro couldn't become the VP choice to KL Harris because you're Jewish and that wouldn't uh be successful you know the way our country is and Josh Shapiro had just the best answer to that now it's not a complete answer because he was talking about being Governor but he said when he ran for a governor uh his first ad featured his uh Friday night um Shabbat where because of his Jewish Fai every Friday he'd be gathering with friends and family and having a celebratory you know very much in the Jewish tradition kind of a dinner so instead of hiding from it or well hiding is the wrong word instead of downplaying his religion and just saying stuff like ah it doesn't matter doesn't matter he just opened he just opened the door and said here it is here's what we do you know I like my religion you like your religion let's talk now to me that was one of the most brilliant things he could have ever done because here's what I know about people people will distrust anything they're unfamiliar with it's just sort of a reflex so it's not like that you that people would be necessarily you know anti-semitic it would just be something different and they'd say I'm not sure I understand that or I know it or you know I don't know anybody who is Jewish they might say um so I don't know sure I trust it but he leads with it and says I have no secrets here here's my deal here here's how I worship I love how I worship I love how you worship let's let's all be worshippers that is so disarming it's just so disarming so to me that's brilliant just to lead with it and say you know I'm a good person you're a good person we don't even need to talk about this but if you have questions glad to answer um the trouble is I don't think that would work for national office that it's a brilliant thing for local or Governor but as soon as you're talking about the federal government then it instantly turns into so how much do you like Israel and are you going to support Israel over the United States uh would you treat it as an equal you know so you get all those questions and those uh don't have to do with whether we like anybody's you know choice of religion it's more about H can we be sure you know people would have their doubts um basically about whether America First really meant America First and they wouldn't know now I have no reason to think he's anything but America first so let me be clear about that um but the public would probably have their questions so yeah that might be a problem running um for a national office I think we need to get there you know the same reason I thought that electing Obama was a good step for America regardless of how you think he governed that's a separate question but I felt it was healthy for us to just get over it I think it was healthy to get over Kennedy being Catholic you know it's better to just go right at it you know is I I think it was healthy that uh Hillary Clinton was the nominee and kle Harris was a nominee and they got close you know even not winning felt like hey that's the America I want to live in where everybody gets a shot so yeah I think it'd be good for the country just have somebody at getting close to office even if they didn't win all right um here are some other people that the Democrats have um according to CNN AOC is seen as the leader of the democratic party with KL Harris as a close close second and of course there's Jasmine Crockett who's making a lot of lot of noise on TV and uh Bernie Sanders uh R's uh prus was talking about how lame the Democrat leadership is he says that only AOC and Bernie Sanders can get a crowd of 20 people to show up now that's an exaggeration but not a big one not a big one it's an excellent point but but just think about just think about the people who are the leaders from Chuck Schumer to AOC KL Harris uh Tim Walls Jasmine Crockett Bernie Sanders uh Nancy Pelosi um why can I never remember the minority leader uh what's his name what's the minority Leader's name why can't remember them anyway so yeah they have a real problem but it seems to me that they've also painted themselves in a corner hakeim hakeim Jeff thank you and hakee Jeff has an unfortunate Vibe problem um I'm sure he's very smart or he wouldn't be in his position but there's just something about his Persona that just reeks of I don't trust you it's it's the darnest thing you'd have to try pretty hard to look untrustworthy every single time you talked yeah he he's got that uh movie character look that says okay you could play a bad guy in this movie and I don't know what I don't know I don't know how to fix that that doesn't seem fixable by just smiling more so they don't really have much going on I think I think they're going to have to pick again I think they'll have to pick a woman because the Democrats are very woman focused and I think the woman will have to be a woman of color so that says AOC K Harris Jasmine Crockett and I don't think any of them can win against any solid Republican candidate so how in the world how in the world will they ever go back in power anyway speaking of Jasmine Crockett she was talking about Trump using that uh what I like to call the Adams era law now this is referring to President John Adams and uh you you know the story that Trump used the alien enemies act from 1798 which uh would allow the president to detain or Deport non-citizens from an enemy country during war and I think he set the he set the stage for that by declaring that uh these trenda or waga gang members were terrorists so suddenly if they're terrorists and they're coming from another country you know you're you're pretty close to saying that you're at war with them and uh that the president can kick him out well the airplanes were in the air to deport these very people um there was a judge of course it's going to be an Obama appointee Lefty judge that they found uh question the use of the law in this particular context and said that those planes need to turn around even if they're already in the air but apparently and it's being credited to Steven Miller uh they had rushed the the flights so that by the time the judge ruled the flights were already in international waters and the counterargument is going to be hey that ruling doesn't apply because these these uh these people are not even in the United States anymore they're in international waters and then they landed and uh sure enough El Salvador um processed them and put them in the El Salvador prisons so we'll see if that gets uh if that gets reversed if it does get reversed then people like Jasmine Crockett who are arguing against it uh once again are going to be on the ridiculous side now I realize that you know Jasmine's argument has some Nuance to it she's not saying I like you know evil gang members she's saying if the president is allowed to use this rule in that way you know will be expanded and he'll do bad things in the future but most of the you notice that a lot of the uh complaints about Trump are things that they imagine he would do in the future which is the weirdest kind of complaint because you could say that about everybody all the time it's like well you know I like this candidate but I worry that they'll round everybody up and murder them in the future is there any evidence that they want to do that no no but based on the fake news I've been reading it sounds like exactly the sort of thing they do in the future all right um anyway so Trump wants to deport gang members any way he can and the Democrat argument about it is according to Jasmine Crockett the argument against getting rid of these dangerous gang members any way we can is blah blah use this should use a scalpel blah blah concept blah blah vague fear of the future they really have nothing and I love the the thing that Trump does so so well is communicating in a relatable way these are terrible people we're going to do whatever we can to get them out of our country got it got it uh counterargument well this is a law that might be used outside of its context and you know I worry that he's using a a hatchet instead of a scalpel and what if he did bad things in the future and then you hear that you go none none of that stuck to my brain could you say it again oh well the law 1798 or out of context and you know the legal process es and the scalpel what and then Trump says these are terrible murderous people we're going to get rid of them anyway we can got it got it well limbs of Tik Tock uh and others were showing that uh according to the the border patrol the amount of Sentinel seas that the US Mexico border is uh down 40% since January it's lowest level since 20 21 now that would suggest that closing the Border also has already greatly reduced the flow of fentanyl right well probably not um it might be that the fentol is reduced but not because the Border got um better controlled because if you didn't know this the fentanyl is not coming across in the pockets of the individuals who are walking across the Border in places we didn't want them to walk across the border that's not how it gets in that would be the worst way to do it it turns out that almost all of it goes in automobiles that are legally entering the country so it's not like there's a lot of illegal entries that also had fentanyl that almost doesn't exist what it is is that we can only check maybe 20% of the traffic and because it's so cheap to make fentanyl you wouldn't really care if 20% of it got caught as long as 80% didn't so since I don't think there's been any real change in how the traffic the legal traffic back and forth that goes through legal checkpoints I don't think there's been a change there so one of the changes there could be is a a lot of expense to bring in more um some kind of scale SC devices that they can use on automobiles but even then it would slow down traffic to the point where I'm not sure you could really do it because it would just stop you know all border traffic so here's what I think I don't think that the decrease in illegal entries is really correlated with the decrease in fentanyl but if fentanyl is actually weigh down and it might be you know they only report what they caught not what not what got through so we don't know it's down we just know that what we caught is way down it could be that there's some other pressure on the fentanyl dealers I assume there is so it could be that the labs are you know being disrupted and they have to relocate because they're worried about our Reaper drones getting ready to set them on fire so it could be just the operation is completely skedaddling to try to hide their their labs and and it's going to take a couple months before they can crank up it maybe just that could be that there's enough pressure on China finally that uh the fewer precursors are making it to Mexico to be turned into fenel maybe I think that's the least likely but if I had to guess probably there's enough uh credible military threat that the labs are just shutting down and relocating so temporarily they can't make much product just a guess but I don't think it's because the there a fewer illegal Crossings I just don't think they're correlated according to the telegraph more eggs and fenel are being seized in the Border more eggs than fenel it turns out that eggs are really cheap South of the Border so a whole bunch of people thought huh why don't I just buy eggs in Mexico you know get a bunch of extra and then go go north and sell them for you know twice as much as I bought them and so a lot of people are doing that so uh there's some possibility that the cartels are getting out of the Sentinel business and moving into eggs no just kidding they wouldn't do that but the the egg smuggling business has taken a has taken over for fenel uh Laura lummer has another scoop uh this time that she found that Hunter Biden apparently has been living in South Africa in a hotel uh she calls it a five-star Oceanside Villa and I guess he's got full Secret Service protection which seems very expensive seems very expensive to have a secret service in another country sort of permanently semi-permanently uh especially at a seaside resort kind of place so that's weird but as Laura Lum points out um he he's claimed that he has no money so he's did a signed declaration in court that he's poor but yet he's living like a person who does have money so the question would be where's the money coming from or did you lie when he said he didn't have any maybe he just sells one painting a week it's all he needs to support his lifestyle don't know but uh yeah hunters in South Africa when was the last time you heard a story about South Africa that wasn't about something bad because there's another South Africa story about apparently South Africa has some kind of a research facility in uh Antarctica and and uh let's see let me skip ahead to that yeah I'll do that in order we'll get to that there's a story about a research facility anyway um according to Breitbart News there's a representative uh Brandon enill or onil Brandon Gil um yeah Brandon Gil and he wants to see if uh if he can get the Congress to prohibit foreign country from buying real estate in America if that country doesn't allow Americans to buy real estate in their country now China would be obviously the main target of this um because China buys a lot of property in the US and farmland especially so what do you think about that to me that seems like an easy one yeah if we can't buy land in China why do we let China buy land in the United States I mean that that just seems basic you know it it has to be at least reciprocal so yeah I'd be in favor of that um it would be expensive it would probably lower our it would probably lower property costs which would be good for people buying stuff meanwhile uh the EPA Chief Lee zeldon he's saying that uh Trump's deregulation push and he's big part of it um I said on Fox News um that's the most amount of deregulation ever and he said the the Biden and Obama administration treated regulations like Commandments targeting energy Supply and raising costs so and then Trump wants us to be you know energy dominant so a whole bunch of regulations going but they're still focused on making sure there's clean air and land and and uh basically clean air land and water while growing the economy now assuming this is all true and assuming that the regulations they got rid of were things that really were slowing down our energy business um I'd expect it would take at least three years for the reduction in um in all these regulations to really show up in the economy so I feel like Trump's thirdd year is going to be insane because a whole bunch of things he's doing from tariffs to to deregulation um those things don't make an immediate positive impact and might be negative in the short run but by the third year you should start seeing it in prices and then it's going to be crazy so um I don't think I've ever been more bullish on the United States now the big the big thing is still Doge if Doge can't bring down um the expenses and make that work then all bets are off but it does look like it's it's going to make a good run at it at the very least so I don't think the United States has been a better investment maybe at any time since the toward the end of the Great Depression you know if if at the end of the depression you had any money at all and you bought a few stocks you got really rich because that was the the worst looking period in America economic history but it was also the bottom so if you bought a stock then you were pretty happy I feel like we're in a similar situation now obviously everything could go to hell because you know any surprise could Happ happen we get hit by meteor a war happens that we didn't expect you know anything could happen but the the promise of what the third year of Trump's Administration looks like i' I don't think I've ever seen a more optimistic set of variables coming together I mean this looks really strong at this point well Trump is uh using his uh the government's control over Federal funding for college research to uh put pressure on colleges so Colombia already lost 400 million in Grants because the government says they're they're too anti-semitic or they're allowing too much anti-Semitism um and there are apparently hundreds of schools like these federal grants for every kind of research educational medical agriculture all kinds of research and apparently in 21 the last time we have numbers for it uh the federal government gave $49 billion for federal research and development funding $49 billion to colleges which again was a big part of their entire funding now what do you think we got for those $49 billion are you aware of anything that's coming out of College research that's changing anything because you know what I worry what I worry about is that we got nothing for it and that it's just a bunch of people who are rushing to to publish any kind of science they can because I don't think we say okay we'll only give you this money if your if your research is really good for the economy and good for America I doubt it bet it's a whole bunch of uh we're going to prove that Dei is the best thing in the world we're going to prove that there are more than two genders uh we're going to prove I I feel like it's going to be a whole bunch of just backward science and random correlations and you know slap together research with students collecting data that nobody trusts and nobody's you know we already know that the peer Rie peerreview articles or the peerreview process doesn't work at all so even being peer-reviewed doesn't really make make it true more than half the time anyway so wouldn't you love to see some kind of a top 10 here's what we got for our $49 billion I I feel like most of that was wasted but I wonder if it's 100% it was wasted and and I also think to myself if they were doing research that could be sort of immediately turned into product you know Le let's say they were doing research on I don't know a new cancer CER or a new way to make batteries last longer that is the sort of thing that they might be doing um how much of that wouldn't have been funded by industry I I feel like industry would have funded that right because it can't be super expensive to do a study like that so you know you don't think Tesla would say okay if you're working on a way to make our batteries last twice as long yeah we'll we'll shoot you half a million for that so I'm not sure any of this makes sense that the federal government should be even in the business of funding research when Private Industry presumably would want or funded too there might be some exceptions but I i' like to see the argument for why we do this according to slay news Frank bergman's writing that the world economic forum is um is asking for a global ban on homegrown food homegrown food uh now they're talking mostly about Urban Gardens where people put a little Garden in the middle of a city and the argument is that these little gardens are so inefficient that they contribute more Badness to the environment than they producing food and it would be better if everybody just got their food from the big farms instead of trying to grow at home to which I say does anybody listen to the world economic Forum in 20125 I I feel like didn't didn't clouse uh Schwab already retire I feel like the world economic Forum isn't really even a a thing that anybody pays attention to and here would be a very good reason why nobody pays attention it doesn't feel like a 2025 problem does it it it feels like 2020 problem that oh that world economic Forum they have too much power now it just seems like a club for rich people and they put out some weird proclamations that nobody cares about I mean none of it's binding so anyway um and I guess there are 70 they did a study of 73 Urban agriculture sites around the world we don't care uh Grace price who you know because she talks about nutrition and food problems in the United States um she points out that uh the American Heart Association has on their Forum General Mills and Pepsi.

Co so when you think of things that are good for your heart do you think of General Mills and Pepsi.

Co so they're major members of the American Heart Association now does that matter you know do you think do you think you'll see any impact because those entities these are on the American Heart Association well maybe because there was this bill s SP 379 that uh would have uh removed from the snap program which is a program for people without money to buy food um so right now those people could use the government money to buy candy soda cookies and chips and the uh and so the there was an effort to say well you can buy food but we don't think you should be using the government money for candy soda cookies and chips now who do you think makes at least these soda cookies and chips to members of the board or the Forum and uh so the American Heart Association came out against against Banning candy soda cookies and chips from government funded food buying they came out against it the American Heart Association now let me ask this question again are there any large organizations that are not corrupt I wonder if there are it it just seems to me that everything that matters has been pen pated by somebody who had the ability to penetrate them so it feels like there just aren't any large organizations that you can trust at all like they all get they all get corrupted one way or another either through money or membership or something so there you go according to neoscope neoscope uh newer alab is writing that uh apparently human intelligence seems to be dropping sharply so people are getting Dumber but really quickly like more so than other times in history um so apparently it's not just your imagination um people are losing the ability to critically think and to concentrate and to do reasoning they're bad at problem solving uh their information processing skills basically uh all aspects of intelligence are dropping like a rock sort of everywhere in the modern world and the thinking is that you know it might be some combination of you know things in the environment it might be the food it might be the pollution it might be the the lead it might be the phones it might be you know the screens so you know I I think mostly the phones if you had to pick one thing it would be the technology mostly the phones but I'm going to offer a Counterpoint you ready for this yes it's true that a human is getting Dumber humans so we're all getting Dumber however we're not a human anymore we are cyborg if I have a phone in my hand I'm smarter than anybody in history has ever been right as long as I know how to talk to Ai and ask questions and search for Stuff uh or even just text somebody who knows the answer that I want want to know the answer to so if you say that people are getting Dumber that's true but I wonder if it's relevant because cyborgs which is what we are we've evolved into a cyborg State um a cyborg is way smarter than anybody in history do you have a question if I come my phone in my hand I can get an answer so does it make sense to compare cyborgs to humans um without factoring in the fact that the Cyborg part you know the technical part gives them the superpower I don't know I don't know um I think that even people who are bad at critical thinking are going to just start asking their phone yesterday I wanted to uh heat up some water for tea and I'd never done that in the microwave uh all of my other ways to make hot water were broken that's another story so I I have at least several ways to make hot water are all broken I've got a hot water spout that's full of pollution I it's just it's a bad news so I thought how long do I microwave this so I took out at GPT and put it in uh video mode and I just made it look at my cup of water and I said how long should I microwave this it's like well one to two minutes perfect so there's nothing I can't figure out in like a moment it it was kind of fun anyway according to uh PC Magazine will mcer is writing about this uh open AI says that uh China could compel the Deep seek AI that comes from China to cause harm and so open AI says that the Chinese AI should be banned now who's surprised about that not me one of the things I've been telling you about AI is that no matter how good it is um the problem is going to be the humans are going to try to ban it for a number reasons so this is chat GPT trying to ban Chinese AI but it seems to me that there is pressure against open AI to you know they've got legal pressure there's going to be the copyright things it's lawyers lawyers and laws and humans are just going to be such an impediment to to AI makes you wonder if AI can ever get to the next level uh or else we'd stop it we we'd find some reason it's like oh it's too dangerous you have to stop oh it comes from another country you better stop now I do I I do agree with Banning the Chinese AI it is too dangerous but uh there's going to be an argument against every AI you know pretty soon people are going to say oh this AI is biased it's a misinformation so you got to shut it down the pressure against AI is going to be just through the roof anyway we'll see if uh open a wins that there's a robot Factory being built interesting engineers in that um so there's a US firm called figure that's a robot company and they're going to build their Factory to make 12,000 humanoid robots per year and that's a California based company but they're not putting the are they putting the I didn't see that but they couldn't possibly putting the manufacturing in California right H it doesn't say where the manufacturing would be but I'd be amazed if somebody built Manufacturing in California that that feels like an unnecessary risk so it's a California based company but I don't see here where they would put the factory anyway I wouldn't put it in California uh anyway I told you the story about the uh the South African scientists are trapped in a tiny base in Antarctica and apparently because of the extreme weather there there could be months you know up to 10 months before the weather would be good enough for anybody to leave or arrive and they're complaining because uh there's one researcher in that group according to the Daily Mail um who has been uh threatening to kill them and sexually sexually abuse somebody so they got basically some kind of a sexual criminal who is threatening to kill people and they're trapped in this little they're trapped in this little building for at least 10 more months so they're sort of begging for a relief now I know what you're thinking I know what you're thinking you're thinking can Elon Musk rescue them right well he can't do everything I don't think he could land a Starship there but wouldn't surprised me if the boring company is already drilling a hole from America to Antarctica to get him out wouldn't surprise me I just don't think it's happening so no Elon Musk can't rescue everybody sometimes they going to have to rescue themselves let's talk about the hoodies um as you know the hoodies were threatening and have for a long time been threatening shipping in the Red Sea apparently I didn't realize this but nearly all the shipping at least our shipping as uh in other countries too nearly all of it has been avoiding the red because it's too dangerous because of the hoodies and they've been going the long way which is making everything cost a lot more and take a lot longer so Trump has decided that this Iran back hoodies that keep shooting at the shipping in the Red Sea uh their time has come and National Security adviser Mike Waltz he confirmed that the US is making big air stricks and took out multiple roody leaders now taking out leaders I don't think is going to work because they just get new leaders and uh nearly three4 of shipping is now diverted to get out of that area three qus and it's way more expensive if they have to go around the hard way um and then Mike Heth um he said that uh that there's a large scale strike campaign going on against the hoodies and that it will will continue and be quote unrelenting until they uh pledge to back off um pledge to back off attacking us Assets Now here again you have that problem of what if they do promise it would the shipping return just because the hoodie said oh yeah we'll totally leave your shipping alone because the real problem is the insurance you would have have to get the risk down to zero how can you ever get the risk down to zero because even if like one in 20 ships get attacked how are any of them going to get insurance and they need insurance so you can't you can't half-ass this thing you have to completely destroy the hoodie's ability to do it or completely destroy the whoever is fun them Iran in this case um you have to get them to change their mind but even if they change their mind they could change it back you know it's the same problem if they promised oh we promise uh yeah we we won't attack your ships and then a a few ships come back they only have to attack one and then the whole thing falls apart so how much do you have to kill before you can guarantee that it will be economical for ships to use that place again like you either have to wipe out everything in that area man woman and child I'm not recommending that I'm just saying if you wanted to fix it you would have to actually just depopulate the place because they're they don't seem to be afraid of anything and there always seems to be a replacement willing to take over and there's always going to be a new leader and Iran will still be funding him so anything sure of a kind of brutality that we've never seen before couldn't possibly make a difference so we'll we'll see if this gets us anything um I'm highly skeptical that it can be solved without doing something that would be so unconscionable to American Minds that doing it would be going too far I don't know you know if the real lever is Iran then maybe there maybe there's something to work with but I don't know you have to get the risk down to zero or it just doesn't even matter you know if the risk is 5% you know down from 100% getting attacked down to 5% I don't think that changes the insurance situation at all because because 5% is way too much of a risk way too much it's not even close so we'll see anyway that's what I got for you today uh I'm going to say a few words privately to the local subscribers but for the rest of you thanks for joining happy St.

Patrick's Day uh so I'll say goodbye to You.

Tube and Rumble and x and locals I'm coming at you in 30 seconds privately we'll have another sip e e e e

we've got something going come on

technology

technology come on there we

go it's all working

boom good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of human civilization

it's called coffee with Scott ads and

you've never had a better day but if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their tiny shiny brains all you

need for that

is a cuper mug glass a tanker chel St a

canteen J or flask or Fel of any kind

fill it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the UN the

unparalleled pleasure the the dopamine

of the

day shut up

the thing that makes everything better

it's called the simultaneous Sip and it

happens now

go all right I have to come clean uh my

local local subscribers already know

this but my coffee maker is

broken uh and my other coffee maker is

broken so my Main coffee maker and my

backup coffee maker are neither of them

are working so this was not actual

coffee and it just ruins the whole

experience let me tell

you anyway but enough about that happy

St Patrick's Day I'm a little bit Irish

a little bit I'm more Irish today

because it's St Patrick's Day but a

little bit

Irish speaking of other countries uh

there's a law French lawmaker who is

calling for the return of the Statue of

Liberty because I guess he doesn't like

Trump so that's

normal um and I don't think we should

return the Statue of Liberty what do you

think I don't think we should but I've

got an idea of just rotating at

180° and removing the torch and

replacing it with the

finger so that the statue is just giving

the finger to France okay that would be

funny um but I but I do think the

Democrats probably would agree with

getting rid of the Statue of Liberty

because have you noticed that the Statue

of Liberty has been giving

a a Nazi

salute yeah they sort of trick you by

putting the torch in the hand but that

just just makes it worse it's like it's

a Nazi salute and you want to burn

everything down with your torch I think

that should be deeply condemned and we

should remove the Statue of Liberty and

give it back to France you know after we

change the torch to a

finger well believe it or not according

to sa poost there's a study about twins

that suggests that uh it turns out

you you won't believe this this will be

hard to believe but rational thinking is

genetically linked to intelligence and

it challenges the idea that decision

making is a separate skill so in other

words they found out that you can't

teach stupid people how to be smart by

teaching them how to

think now I could have saved them a

little bit of time because I once tried

to teach my dog to read

and she just refused she she never

learned to read but uh no it is not true

that you can teach you cannot teach dumb

people to be smart by teaching them how

to think better you know

Bob I've been noticing noticing that

you're a franking but I think I

can fix that with a few

tweaks uh did you know that if you were

to look at let's say the information pro

and con you would get get a better

result really I could I should look at

the information on both sides of an

issue yes you should Bob why don't you

try that next time all right I will and

then what does Bob do does Bob look at

the information on both sides of the

issue next time because you taught Bob

how to be a better decision maker nope

Bob will forget that

advice before you turn around and walk

out the door

because Bob is not

smart it's been my my observation that

all smart people tend to think

alike

rationally it's definitely it's

definitely genetic now I will say though

I will

say that if you're starting with a smart

person you can definitely teach them

some extra tools such as how to spot

fake news that's useful right I've been

teaching most of you how to do that and

most of you do know you so you often say

to me oh that one's too on the NOS

that's one of the things I teach you oh

there's just one source and it's

Anonymous that's one of the things I

teach you uh Etc so you can teach smart

people how to be even smarter but if

you're trying to take teach a dumb

person how to think like a smart

person good luck with that could have

just asked me save a little

time here's a story that makes my heart

sing the Trump Administration is

targeting 45

universities uh over their anti-white

discrimination um Hannah Nightingale of

the post-millennials writing about this

so instead of a making decisions or

having any kind of policies that are

race related

um they're being challenged to get rid

of that stuff and the

universities are going to be in a little

trouble because one of the things that

the Trump Administration seems to be

willing to use as a tool is removing

Federal funding for um research and

grants which apparently I didn't know

this until recently is such a major

funding for a lot of the big schools

that if they lost the Federal research

and grant money they they'd be in real

financial trouble I mean it's a major

source I

guess anyway so this is especially

satisfying to me that that essentially

the Dei stuff has become illegal and

when I say become illegal it was always

illegal it's just we didn't treat it

that way until

Trump so you might remember that this is

about

right now it's about two years since I

got

cancelled does anybody remember me

getting cancelled of course you do now

the interesting thing about my

cancellation is I realized the other day

that you know my my lasting Legacy you

know the way I'll be remembered by

search engines and AI will be two things

that didn't happen so my primary

Legacy will be based on things that

didn't happen that aren't true number

one that I gave a racist rant and that's

why I got cancelled that didn't happen I

was ranting Against

Racism very specifically I was against

people who are racist and I said wow why

would I want to live with a bunch of

racists I would want to live where

they're not which is literally what

every single person in the world would

agree with why would you want to live

where you know there a bunch of racists

now of course I've never been in favor

of racism against an individual you know

not in hiring not in dating not in

Friendship not in picking teams nothing

so of course I've always been you know

Against

Racism so I've been Against Racism

against individuals but also if there's

a group that seems to be extra racist

according to data and there was Data

then I say said maybe you should not

spend time with people who are a little

more racist against you than you're

comfortable with every single person in

the world agrees with that but I got

canceled so how much pleasure do you

think I

get watching the thing I I canceled

for become

illegal a lot it's satisfying on a level

that you can barely

understand but I'll always be remembered

as the guy who made the racist rant

because the news is fake history is fake

the history books are fake and mostly

what the AI will tell you in the future

will be fake

unfortunately um the other thing I'll be

remembered for is a thing that

definitely didn't happen which is all of

my opinions about the uh pandemic being

reversed so one of the things I'm most

proud of um is that I had the best

opinions in the pandemic

of any public figure by far it wasn't

even close most people believe that my

opinions were the opposite of what they

were so people believe I was promoting

vaccines no that never happened not once

and so I'll be remembered for two

things that definitely didn't happen in

any real

world but that's you know that's the

fate of of public figures you you get

remembered for the opposite of whatever

whatever ever you were

doing anyway the big story of the day is

that uh Trump is trying to cancel the

pardons that uh that Biden made they

were made with the autopen now the

autopen is what presidents use to sign

things when they're not physically

available but you know things that

they've agreed to so it's not there's

nothing sketchy about it the way it's

been used in the past however given what

we know about Biden's Administration and

given what we know about his mental uh

Acuity at the time and given that there

were some last minute

pardons it's not clear that Biden even

knew they happened so does Trump have a

good case well um the smart thing that

Trump is doing and is consistently done

is he says well if the courts

disagree then we'll follow the court

and that's very disarming it's very non-

dictator and that's what he's doing here

so he's taking it he's taking a run at

it that doesn't mean he'll succeed so

the Supreme Court could say no autopen

counts you know there's nothing you can

do about it otherwise blah blah

blah so I've got a feeling he has no

better

than I don't know since I don't know

much about the court or how it would r

rule I'm going to say 50% chance that it

will stick but boy is this got to be

scary to the what what he calls the

unselect group the people who ran the uh

what I would consider the fake

impeachment um things or the the fake

January St six stuff and they do have

some explaining to do and there's a good

reason that they wanted their

pardons so this one's getting really

dicey getting really dicey because uh if

Trump

succeeds in undoing the pardons because

of the

autopen

um Adam schiff's probably going to

jail Liz

Cheney probably going to

jail because I do believe that the the

legal system would find the they did um

some pretty illegal things so at the

very least they would be destroyed by

the legal process which would be you

know gigantically

burdensome and my feeling about a lot of

this stuff is that and Lindsey Graham

did the best explanation on a new show

that once you look at the context of

what these same people did to Trump they

tried to destroy him politically

they tried to destroy his entire

business they tried to destroy his

family and they tried to put him in jail

for the rest of his

life they did much the same to people

who supported him they went after the

lawyers who supported him they went

after his supporters in every way that

they could

and in normal times I would say you know

maybe let the past go you know that yeah

there was some dirty tricks there but

you know let's let's not dwell on that

let's move forward let's look forward

but if you look at the totality of the

pure

evil that was aimed to him I'm 100% in

favor of his

revenge because it feels

personal uh you know I feel like I got

dragged down by the same the same bad

guys you know let

but do you think I ever would have been

cancelled if it hadn't been for the

Trump connection nope nope I don't think

I would have been and

so these are all of my enemies

too and I wouldn't mind seeing them

taken down completely just

destroyed because I do think they earned

it and I do think it would look like

justice to me like real Justice not not

the Revenge I'm you know I'm happy my

team one kind of Justice I don't want

that kind I'm not looking for the my

team one your team lost kind of Justice

nope I want the actual real kind where

if you're a for years and

years and years and you're the most evil

lying piece of shits in the world it's

time for you to get

flushed and I'm here for it so if Trump

can get away with this

that would be very good I would love it

I don't think he will I've got a feeling

the Supreme Court is going to say uh we

don't need this it's a little little too

much

trouble so maybe regardless of you know

the legality of it I still think the

Supreme Court might say you know we're

going to find a reason not to do this

because it would just be too destructive

to The Republic and they might right but

I'm still for

it um as you know lots of uh

conservatives have been swatted lately

conservative pundits um so data

Republican you all know who she is right

data Republican is a great data um

analyst which feels like too little

because she's so good that feels like

she needs her own label but anyway she

did an analysis of uh I think there are

now third or 14 people have been swatted

recently but she had a list of 10 or so

andt an analysis using AI to try to find

out what they had in

common uh and Al which would maybe help

you figure out you who was after them uh

but also to maybe predict who would be

next here are some of the things that um

that she found in common so a lot of the

people who got

swatted um engaged with Elon Musk on

X uh their real life identities were

known so they weren't pseudonyms or

anything they used their real names or

at least their real names were easy to

find like CAD

turd um they had good number of

followers usually over 50,000 but

actually most of the time over

150,000 uh there were often guests who

were employees for

Infowars uh war room or similar alt

media kind of shows on the right uh then

there's this one expressed pro-israel or

at least the anti Hamas

sentiments okay um frequently Amplified

others swatting victims in the past so

it seems like a network of people who

boosted each

other and many of them were Amplified by

based Mike

Lee and the targets were all

male the targets were all male that's

interesting um so data data Republican

said uh that her current leading theory

is that it's a terrorist campaign

targeting X and influencers connected to

Elon

Musk

so and then somebody said but what about

the fact that they might be anti-

Ukraine and data Republican this is why

she's so good she says that the anti-

Ukraine doesn't add add much signal

meaning that since most of the

conservative world is anti- Ukraine at

the moment you can't really say these

ones got swatted because they're anti-

Ukraine because sort of everybody

was um so I don't know so I guess the

theory that it's it's a anti- Elon

Musk I I would say that's a

possibility could be could be just

anti-trump um I don't know U but it

could be static terrorism which is just

making it easier to attack a certain

group of people who speak out but uh

we'll see we'll

see uh um that's a good analysis I don't

think it gives us an answer but it you

know maybe maybe it defines the things a

little bit better so we know what to

look

for and maybe it will have an effect

could have you know if if the

analysis got anywhere near the

truth it might slow it down because now

we would be looking for these signals

we'd say okay uh did you say anything

about did you interact with Elon Musk

Etc now even the interacting with Elon

Musk

thing uh to me that's not much of a

signal because musk does interact with a

whole bunch of people um and multiple

times sometimes so he's interacted with

me a number of times and uh so I don't

know he's interacted with so many people

I'm not sure that that's the signal it

looks like

Anyway president Trump says he's going

to talk to uh Putin uh

tomorrow and doesn't it seem to you like

that's way too long to wait I mean just

think about the fact that there are

people in ditches shooting at each other

and dying you around K and all around

the front lines because I assume the

fighting is just going crazy even though

they're talking peace so it's just so

weird that you'd say hey can I call you

tomorrow is there really no reason they

can talk today are are they not prepared

do do they have something more important

there are people literally just getting

torn to

pieces on the front lines for no reason

because you know it looks like things

are going to wind up so anybody who gets

killed or wounded

today that's a complete waste of

humanity so I don't I just don't know

how you you say Hey you available

tomorrow is tomorrow

good today is good like right now is

good that that's how I feel now if if we

got something done tomorrow that was

important that you know I'd be pretty

happy about it but this whole thing

about you know if you're serious about

ending The Killing tomorrow is really

too long but on the other hand you don't

want to act too eager because that might

hurt your negotiating position but

really how about today that's my take

anyway um according to the New York Post

Trump said uh we want to see if we can

bring that war to an end um he he says

maybe we can maybe we can't I think we

have a very good chance now I think he's

talking about his conversation tomorrow

that maybe they're they're far enough

along that he might be able to close a

deal that seems like a

stretch um and he said uh a lot of

work's been done over the weekend now a

lot of works been done means that

they're close to a

deal and I don't think he'd make the

call you know even though you know

there's urgency I don't think he'd make

the call tomorrow unless he felt like

there was some chance that whatever

remaining issues are you could close

on now remember how I always tell you

that you should expect at least one walk

away in a in a big negotiation there's

usually this point where one side says

all right nope nope we're done and and

they walk away and they pretend or

sometimes it's real that nope I'm done

dealing with you I cannot make a deal

now what that can do is cause the one

who got walked away on to say all right

all right I'll offer you a little bit

more but I'm not sure there'll be a walk

away on this

one and the reason is they're both too

smart

if if Trump did A Walk Away Putin would

say that's not real he'll come back if

Putin did A Walk Away Trump would say

that's not real he'll come back so I

think they both know each other well

enough that a walk away would just

look sort of

stupid because you're dealing with two

people who are way above the the line

you they both understand how everything

works right there's no dumb one and no

smart one there just two brilliant

people who know how to do this exactly

if you know how to do this which is

negotiate the hard stuff and they do

then the walkway is a little bit

unnecessary um it the walk away is sort

of what you do if you're dealing with

somebody who's just not good at

it or or somebody who's at least not

world class at it um so I'm going to

predict this would be one of those r

negotiations with no walk

away so which is a bold that's a pretty

big prediction because you you just

normally see a walkway I just don't

think there will be in this case because

the equality of the two people

negotiating well Putin said he wants an

ironclad guarantee that Ukraine will not

join

NATO now do you remember when the head

of NATO said nope there's no chance that

Ukraine

is going to be part of NATO and then you

realized okay that was after talking to

Trump so probably Trump is the one who

told NATO to say there's no way

Ukraine's going to be part of it and

then you said to yourself but wait

Trump's giving away something for

nothing like we don't have a deal yet

like why would he give that away you

know wouldn't that be the thing that you

would keep as your negotiating

card and then you say to yourself

is that really giving anything

away how could you ever give an ironclad

guarantee that nobody will ever change

their mind about Ukraine joining NATO

you can't all it would take is somebody

to say I changed my mind that's it so if

Trump and NATO say yep we guarantee it

there's no way Ukraine will ever be part

of NATO what exactly are they giving up

nothing that's literally nothing because

Putin knows they can just change their

mind and they know they could just

change their mind now they wouldn't do

it

unless probably unless situation changed

but if the situation changed you don't

think they could NATO up in about five

minutes yeah if they wanted to and they

had some strategic reason to do it yes

now I don't think they want to and I

don't think they'll have that strategic

reason but it's a weird one because the

thing that Putin wants the

most is the cheapest to give to him it

literally doesn't cost anything and and

there's and it doesn't even bind us

because if it if it would became a you

know important security

consideration yeah Ukraine would get

NATO up in five

minutes so how in the world could you

guarantee such a thing now on the other

side Putin has the same situation we'd

like him to

guarantee that if we make a deal he

won't make a move on the rest of Ukraine

at some later

date how in the world could that ever be

guaranteed it

can't so the two things that the sides

want the most important two things you

know one wants NATO and the other wants

a guarantee that there would be no

future attacks that's something that

both sides can say

okay because it's not giving away

anything there's no asset there it's

nothing you're not giving away anything

because both sides could just change

their mind tomorrow and it's not like we

can ask for

collateral right we can't say I'll tell

you what uh we we'll hold Moscow as

collateral and in case you attack we get

to keep

Moscow no there's no way you can put

collateral on it what what kind of

guarantee could you ever come up with

now I'd love to be

wrong I'd love to find out that there's

some clever way you could guarantee this

sort of thing but I don't think

so yeah so that that'll be the hard part

how in the world do you do something

that would guarantee

anything when both of them absolutely

need

guarantees I don't know it's going to be

really interesting I do think they can

get it done but only because they're

both incentivized to do it they both

want it

done

and they might trust each other at least

in the short run but long run I don't

know nothing can be guaranteed in the

long

run well let's talk about the leaders of

the

Democrats um Josh Shapiro governor of

Pennsylvania was on Bill Marshall and

Bill Mar was you know talking about him

as a potential you know future leader of

the Democrats and he said that the

people said that uh you Josh Shapiro

couldn't become the VP choice to KL

Harris because you're

Jewish and that wouldn't uh be

successful you know the way our country

is and Josh Shapiro had just the best

answer to that now it's not a complete

answer because he was talking about

being Governor but he said when he ran

for a

governor uh his first ad featured his uh

Friday night um

Shabbat where because of his Jewish Fai

every Friday he'd be gathering with

friends and family and having a

celebratory

you know very much in the Jewish

tradition kind of a dinner so instead of

hiding from it or well hiding is the

wrong word instead of downplaying his

religion and just saying stuff like ah

it doesn't matter doesn't matter he just

opened he just opened the door and said

here it is here's what we do you know I

like my religion you like your

religion let's talk now to me that was

one of the most brilliant things he

could have ever done

because here's what I know about

people people will distrust anything

they're unfamiliar

with it's just sort of a reflex so it's

not like that you that people would be

necessarily you know

anti-semitic it would just be something

different and they'd say I'm not sure I

understand that or I know it or you know

I don't know anybody who is Jewish they

might say um so I don't know sure I

trust it but he leads with it and says I

have no secrets here here's my deal here

here's how I worship I love how I

worship I love how you

worship let's let's all be

worshippers that is so disarming it's

just so disarming so to me that's

brilliant just to lead with it and say

you know I'm a good person you're a good

person we don't even need to talk about

this but if you have questions glad to

answer

um the trouble is I don't think that

would work for national

office that it's a brilliant thing for

local or Governor but as soon as you're

talking about the federal government

then it instantly turns into so how much

do you like Israel and are you going to

support Israel over the United States uh

would you treat it as an equal you know

so you get all those

questions and those uh don't have to do

with whether we like anybody's you know

choice of religion it's more about H can

we be sure you know people would have

their doubts um basically about whether

America First really meant America First

and they wouldn't know now I have no

reason to think he's anything but

America first so let me be clear about

that um but the public would probably

have their questions so yeah that might

be a problem running um for a national

office I think we need to get there you

know the same reason I thought that

electing Obama was a good step for

America regardless of how you think he

governed that's a separate question but

I felt it was healthy for us to just get

over it I think it was healthy to get

over Kennedy being

Catholic you know it's better to just go

right at it you know is I I think it was

healthy that uh Hillary Clinton was the

nominee and kle Harris was a nominee and

they got close you know even not winning

felt like hey that's the America I want

to live in where everybody gets a shot

so yeah I think it'd be good for the

country just have somebody at getting

close to office even if they didn't

win all

right

um here are some other people that the

Democrats

have um according to CNN AOC is seen as

the leader of the democratic party with

KL Harris as a close close

second and of course there's Jasmine

Crockett who's making a lot of lot of

noise on

TV and uh Bernie Sanders uh R's uh prus

was talking about how lame the Democrat

leadership is he says that only AOC and

Bernie Sanders can get a crowd of 20

people to show up

now that's an exaggeration but not a big

one not a big one it's an excellent

point but but just think about just

think about the people who are the

leaders from Chuck Schumer to AOC KL

Harris uh Tim Walls Jasmine

Crockett Bernie

Sanders uh Nancy

Pelosi um why can I never remember the

minority leader uh

what's his

name what's the minority Leader's

name why can't remember them anyway

so yeah they have a real problem but it

seems to me that they've also painted

themselves in a corner hakeim hakeim

Jeff thank

you and hakee Jeff has an unfortunate

Vibe

problem um I'm sure he's very smart or

he wouldn't be in his position but

there's just something about his

Persona that just reeks of I don't trust

you it's it's the darnest thing you'd

have to try pretty hard to look

untrustworthy every single time you

talked yeah he he's got that uh movie

character look that says okay you could

play a bad guy in this movie and I don't

know what I don't know I don't know how

to fix that that doesn't seem fixable by

just smiling more so they don't really

have much going on I think I think

they're going to have to pick again I

think they'll have to pick a woman

because the Democrats are very woman

focused and I think the woman will have

to be a woman of color so that says AOC

K Harris Jasmine

Crockett and I don't think any of them

can win against any solid Republican

candidate so how in the world how in the

world will they ever go back in

power anyway speaking of Jasmine

Crockett she was talking about Trump

using that uh what I like to call the

Adams era law now this is referring to

President John Adams and uh you you know

the story that Trump used the alien

enemies act from

1798 which uh would allow the president

to detain or Deport

non-citizens from an enemy country

during war and I think he set the he set

the stage for that by declaring that uh

these trenda or waga gang members were

terrorists so suddenly if they're

terrorists and they're coming from

another country you know you're you're

pretty close to saying that you're at

war with them and uh that the president

can kick him out well the airplanes were

in the air to deport these very people

um there was a judge of course it's

going to be an Obama appointee Lefty

judge that they found uh question the

use of the law in this particular

context and said that those planes need

to turn around even if they're already

in the air but apparently and it's being

credited to Steven Miller uh they had

rushed the the flights so that by the

time the judge ruled the flights were

already in international

waters and the counterargument is going

to be hey that ruling doesn't apply

because these these uh these people are

not even in the United States anymore

they're in international waters and then

they landed and uh sure enough El

Salvador um processed them and put them

in the El Salvador prisons

so we'll see if that gets uh if that

gets reversed if it does get reversed

then people like Jasmine Crockett who

are arguing against it uh once

again are going to be on the ridiculous

side now I realize that you know

Jasmine's argument has some Nuance to it

she's not saying I like you know evil

gang members she's saying if the

president is allowed to use this rule in

that way you know will be expanded and

he'll do bad things in the

future but most of the you notice that a

lot of the uh complaints about Trump are

things that they imagine he would do in

the

future which is the weirdest kind of

complaint because you could say that

about everybody all the time it's like

well you know I like this candidate but

I worry that they'll round everybody up

and murder them in the future is there

any evidence that they want to do that

no no but based on the fake news I've

been reading it sounds like exactly the

sort of thing they do in the

future all right

um anyway so Trump wants to deport gang

members any way he can and the Democrat

argument about it is according to

Jasmine Crockett the argument against

getting rid of these dangerous gang

members any way we can is blah blah use

this should use a scalpel blah blah

concept blah blah vague fear of the

future they really have

nothing and I love the the thing that

Trump does so so well is communicating

in a relatable

way these are terrible people we're

going to do whatever we can to get them

out of our country got it got it

uh counterargument well this is a law

that might be used outside of its

context and you know I worry that he's

using a a hatchet instead of a scalpel

and what if he did bad things in the

future and then you hear that you go

none none of that stuck to my brain

could you say it

again oh well the law 1798 or out of

context and you know the legal process

es and the

scalpel what and then Trump says these

are terrible murderous people we're

going to get rid of them anyway we can

got it got

it well limbs of Tik Tock uh and others

were showing that uh according to the

the border patrol the amount of Sentinel

seas that the US Mexico border is uh

down 40% since January it's lowest level

since 20 21 now that would suggest that

closing the

Border also has already greatly reduced

the flow of

fentanyl

right well probably

not um it might be that the fentol is

reduced but not because the Border got

um better controlled because if you

didn't know this the fentanyl is not

coming across in the pockets of the

individuals who are walking across the

Border in places we didn't want them to

walk across the border that's not how it

gets in that would be the worst way to

do it it turns out that almost all of it

goes in automobiles that are legally

entering the

country so it's not like there's a lot

of illegal entries that also had

fentanyl that almost doesn't exist what

it is is that we can only check maybe

20% of the traffic

and because it's so cheap to make

fentanyl you wouldn't really care if 20%

of it got caught as long as 80% didn't

so since I don't think there's been any

real change in how the traffic the legal

traffic back and forth that goes through

legal checkpoints I don't think there's

been a change there so one of the

changes there could be is a a lot of

expense to bring in more um some kind of

scale SC devices that they can use on

automobiles but even then it would slow

down traffic to the point where I'm not

sure you could really do it because it

would just stop you know all border

traffic so here's what I think I don't

think that the decrease in illegal

entries is really correlated with the

decrease in fentanyl but if fentanyl is

actually weigh down and it might be you

know they only report what they caught

not what not what got through so we

don't know it's down we just know that

what we caught is way down it could be

that there's some other pressure on the

fentanyl dealers I assume there is so it

could be that the labs are you know

being disrupted and they have to

relocate because they're worried about

our Reaper drones getting ready to set

them on fire so it could be just the

operation is completely skedaddling to

try to hide their their labs and and

it's going to take a couple months

before they can crank up it maybe just

that could be that there's enough

pressure on China

finally that uh the fewer precursors are

making it to Mexico to be turned into

fenel maybe I think that's the least

likely but if I had to guess probably

there's enough uh credible military

threat that the labs are just shutting

down and relocating so temporarily they

can't make much

product just a guess but I don't think

it's because the there a fewer illegal

Crossings I just don't think they're

correlated according to the telegraph

more eggs and fenel are being seized in

the

Border more eggs than fenel it turns out

that eggs are really cheap South of the

Border so a whole bunch of people

thought huh why don't I just buy eggs in

Mexico you know get a bunch of extra and

then go go north and sell them for you

know twice as much as I bought them and

so a lot of people are doing that so uh

there's some possibility that the

cartels are getting out of the Sentinel

business and moving into

eggs no just kidding they wouldn't do

that

but the the egg smuggling business has

taken

a has taken over for fenel

uh Laura lummer has another scoop uh

this time that she found that Hunter

Biden apparently has been living in

South Africa in a

hotel uh she calls it a five-star

Oceanside Villa and I guess he's got

full Secret Service

protection which seems very expensive

seems very expensive to have a secret

service in another country sort of

permanently

semi-permanently uh especially at a

seaside resort kind of place so that's

weird but as Laura Lum points out um he

he's claimed that he has no money so

he's did a signed declaration in court

that he's poor but yet he's living like

a person who does have money so the

question would be where's the money

coming from or did you lie when he said

he didn't have any maybe he just sells

one painting a week it's all he needs to

support his lifestyle don't know but uh

yeah hunters in South Africa when was

the last time you heard a story about

South Africa that wasn't about something

bad because there's another South Africa

story about apparently South Africa has

some kind of a research facility in uh

Antarctica and and uh let's see let me

skip ahead to

that yeah I'll do that in order we'll

get to that there's a story about a

research facility anyway

um according to Breitbart News there's a

representative uh Brandon enill or

onil Brandon Gil um yeah Brandon Gil and

he wants to see if uh if he can get the

Congress to prohibit foreign country

from buying real estate in America if

that country doesn't allow Americans to

buy real estate in their country now

China would be obviously the main target

of this um because China buys a lot of

property in the

US and farmland especially so what do

you think about

that to me that seems like an easy one

yeah if we can't buy land in China why

do we let China buy land in the United

States

I mean that that just seems basic you

know it it has to be at least

reciprocal so yeah I'd be in favor of

that um it would be expensive it would

probably lower our it would probably

lower property costs which would be good

for people buying

stuff meanwhile uh the EPA Chief Lee

zeldon he's saying that uh Trump's

deregulation push and he's big part of

it um I said on Fox News um that's the

most amount of deregulation

ever

and he said the the Biden and Obama

administration treated regulations like

Commandments targeting energy Supply and

raising

costs so and then Trump wants us to be

you know energy dominant so a whole

bunch of regulations going but they're

still focused on making sure there's

clean air and land and and uh basically

clean air land and water while growing

the

economy now assuming this is all true

and assuming that the regulations they

got rid of were things that really were

slowing down our energy

business um I'd expect it would take at

least three

years for the reduction in um in all

these regulations to really show up in

the economy so I feel like Trump's

thirdd year is going to be

insane because a whole bunch of things

he's doing from tariffs to to

deregulation

um those things don't make an immediate

positive impact and might be negative in

the short run but by the third year you

should start seeing it in prices and

then it's going to be crazy so um I

don't think I've ever been more bullish

on the United States now the big the big

thing is still Doge if Doge can't bring

down um the expenses and make that work

then all bets are off but it does look

like it's it's going to make a good run

at it at the very least so I don't think

the United States has been a better

investment maybe at any time since the

toward the end of the Great Depression

you know if if at the end of the

depression you had any money at all and

you bought a few stocks you got really

rich because that was the the worst

looking period in America economic

history but it was also the bottom so if

you bought a stock then you were pretty

happy I feel like we're in a similar

situation now obviously everything could

go to hell because you know any surprise

could Happ happen we get hit by meteor a

war happens that we didn't expect you

know anything could happen

but the the promise of what the third

year of Trump's Administration looks

like i' I don't think I've ever seen a

more

optimistic set of variables coming

together I mean this looks really strong

at this

point well Trump is uh using his uh the

government's control over Federal

funding for college

research to uh put pressure on colleges

so Colombia already lost 400 million in

Grants because the government says

they're they're too anti-semitic or

they're allowing too much

anti-Semitism um and there are

apparently hundreds of schools like

these federal grants for every kind of

research educational medical agriculture

all kinds of research and apparently in

21 the last time we have numbers for it

uh the federal government gave $49

billion for federal research and

development funding $49

billion to colleges which again was a

big part of their entire

funding now what do you think we got for

those $49

billion are you aware of anything that's

coming out of College

research that's changing

anything because you know what I worry

what I worry about is that we got

nothing for it and that it's just a

bunch of people who are rushing to to

publish any kind of science they can

because I don't think we say okay we'll

only give you this money if your if your

research is really good for the economy

and good for

America I doubt it

bet it's a whole bunch of uh we're going

to prove that Dei is the best thing in

the world we're going to prove that

there are more than two genders uh we're

going to

prove I I feel like it's going to be a

whole bunch of just backward science and

random correlations and you know slap

together research with students

collecting data that nobody

trusts and nobody's you know we already

know that the peer Rie peerreview

articles or the peerreview

process doesn't work at all so even

being peer-reviewed doesn't really make

make it true more than half the time

anyway so wouldn't you love to see some

kind of a top 10 here's what we got for

our $49

billion I I feel like most of that was

wasted but I wonder if it's 100% it was

wasted and and I also think to myself if

they were doing research that could be

sort of immediately turned into product

you know Le let's say they were doing

research

on I don't know a new cancer CER or a

new way to make batteries last longer

that is the sort of thing that they

might be doing um how much of that

wouldn't have been funded by

industry I I feel like industry would

have funded that right because it can't

be super expensive to do a study like

that so you know you don't think Tesla

would say okay if you're working on a

way to make our batteries last twice as

long yeah we'll we'll shoot you half a

million for

that so I'm not sure any of this makes

sense that the federal government should

be even in the business of funding

research when Private Industry

presumably would want or funded too

there might be some exceptions but I i'

like to see the argument for why we do

this according to slay news Frank

bergman's writing that the world

economic forum is um is asking for a

global ban on homegrown

food homegrown food uh now they're

talking mostly about Urban Gardens where

people put a little Garden in the middle

of a city and the argument is that these

little gardens are so

inefficient that they contribute more

Badness to the environment than they

producing

food and it would be better if everybody

just got their food from the big

farms instead of trying to grow at home

to which I

say does anybody listen to the world

economic Forum in

20125 I I feel like didn't didn't clouse

uh Schwab already

retire I feel like the world economic

Forum isn't really even a a thing that

anybody pays attention to and here would

be a very good reason why nobody pays

attention it doesn't feel like a 2025

problem does it it it feels like 2020

problem that oh that world economic

Forum they have too much power now it

just seems like a club for rich people

and they put out some weird

proclamations that nobody cares about I

mean none of it's

binding so

anyway um and I guess there are 70 they

did a study of 73 Urban agriculture

sites around the world we don't care uh

Grace price who you know because she

talks about nutrition and food problems

in the United States um she points out

that uh the American Heart

Association has on their

Forum General Mills and

PepsiCo so when you think of things that

are good for your heart do you think of

General Mills and

PepsiCo so they're major members of the

American Heart Association now does that

matter you know do you think do you

think you'll see any impact because

those entities these are on the American

Heart Association well maybe because

there was this bill s SP

379 that uh would have uh removed from

the snap program which is a program for

people without money to buy food um so

right now those people could use the

government money to buy candy soda

cookies and

chips and the

uh and so the there was an effort to say

well you can buy food but we don't think

you should be using the government money

for candy soda cookies and chips now who

do you think

makes at least these soda cookies and

chips to members of the board or the

Forum and uh so the American Heart

Association came out

against

against Banning candy soda cookies and

chips from government funded food

buying they came out against it the

American Heart

Association now let me ask this question

again are there any large organizations

that are not

corrupt I wonder if there

are it it just seems to me

that everything that matters has been

pen pated by somebody who had the

ability to penetrate them so it feels

like there just aren't any large

organizations that you can trust at all

like they all get they all get corrupted

one way or another either through money

or membership or something so there you

go according to

neoscope

neoscope uh newer alab is writing that

uh apparently human intelligence seems

to be dropping sharply

so people are getting Dumber but really

quickly like more so than other times in

history um so apparently it's not just

your

imagination um people are losing the

ability to critically think and to

concentrate and to do reasoning they're

bad at problem solving uh their

information processing skills basically

uh all aspects of intelligence are

dropping like a rock

sort of everywhere in the modern

world and the thinking is that you know

it might be some combination of you know

things in the environment it might be

the food it might be the pollution it

might be the the lead it might be the

phones it might be you know the

screens so you know I I think mostly the

phones if you had to pick one thing it

would be the technology mostly the

phones but I'm going to offer a

Counterpoint you ready for

this yes it's true that a human is

getting Dumber humans so we're all

getting Dumber however we're not a human

anymore we are

cyborg if I have a phone in my hand I'm

smarter than anybody in history has ever

been right as long as I know how to talk

to Ai and ask questions and search for

Stuff uh or even just text somebody who

knows the answer that I want want to

know the answer

to so if you say that people are getting

Dumber that's

true but I wonder if it's

relevant because cyborgs which is what

we are we've evolved into a cyborg State

um a cyborg is way smarter than anybody

in history do you have a question if I

come my phone in my hand I can get an

answer so does it make sense to compare

cyborgs to

humans um without factoring in the fact

that the Cyborg part you know the

technical part gives them the

superpower I don't know I don't know

um I think that even people who are bad

at critical thinking are going to just

start asking their phone

yesterday I wanted to uh heat up some

water for

tea and I'd never done that in the

microwave uh all of my other ways to

make hot water were broken that's

another story so I I have at least

several ways to make hot water are all

broken I've got a hot water spout that's

full of pollution I it's just it's a bad

news so I thought how long do I

microwave this so I took out at GPT and

put it in uh video mode and I

just made it look at my cup of water and

I said how long should I microwave this

it's like well one to two minutes

perfect so there's nothing I can't

figure

out in like a moment it it was kind of

fun anyway according to uh PC Magazine

will mcer is writing about this uh open

AI says that uh China could compel the

Deep seek AI that comes from China to

cause harm and so open AI says that the

Chinese AI should be banned now who's

surprised about that not

me one of the things I've been telling

you about AI is that no matter how good

it is um the problem is going to be the

humans are going to try to ban it for a

number reasons so this is chat GPT

trying to ban Chinese AI

but it seems to me that there is

pressure against open AI to you know

they've got legal pressure there's going

to be the copyright things it's lawyers

lawyers and laws and humans are just

going to be such an impediment to to AI

makes you wonder if AI can ever get to

the next level uh or else we'd stop it

we we'd find some reason it's like oh

it's too dangerous you have to stop oh

it comes from another country you better

stop now I do I I do agree with Banning

the Chinese AI it is too dangerous but

uh there's going to be an argument

against every AI you know pretty soon

people are going to say oh this AI is

biased it's a misinformation so you got

to shut it down the pressure against AI

is going to be just through the

roof anyway we'll see if uh open a wins

that there's a robot Factory being built

interesting engineers in that um so

there's a US firm called

figure that's a robot company and

they're going to build their Factory to

make 12,000 humanoid robots per year and

that's a California based company but

they're not putting the are they putting

the I didn't see that but they couldn't

possibly putting the manufacturing in

California right H it doesn't say where

the manufacturing would be but I'd be

amazed if somebody built Manufacturing

in

California that that feels like an

unnecessary risk so it's a California

based company but I don't see here where

they would put the factory anyway I

wouldn't put it in

California uh anyway I told you the

story about the uh the South African

scientists are trapped in a tiny base in

Antarctica and apparently because of the

extreme weather

there there could be months you know up

to 10 months before the weather would be

good enough for anybody to leave or

arrive and they're complaining because

uh there's one researcher in that group

according to the Daily Mail um who has

been uh threatening to kill them and

sexually sexually abuse somebody so they

got basically some kind of a sexual

criminal who is threatening to kill

people and they're trapped in this

little they're trapped in this little

building for at least 10 more months so

they're sort of begging for a relief now

I know what you're thinking I know what

you're thinking you're thinking can Elon

Musk rescue them right well he can't do

everything I don't think he could land a

Starship there but wouldn't surprised me

if the boring company is already

drilling a hole from America to

Antarctica to get him out wouldn't

surprise me I just don't think it's

happening so no Elon Musk can't rescue

everybody sometimes they going to have

to rescue themselves let's talk about

the

hoodies um as you know the hoodies were

threatening and have for a long time

been threatening shipping in the Red Sea

apparently I didn't realize this but

nearly all the shipping at least our

shipping as uh in other countries too

nearly all of it has been avoiding the

red

because it's too dangerous because of

the hoodies and they've been going the

long way which is making everything cost

a lot more and take a lot longer so

Trump has decided that this Iran back

hoodies that keep shooting at the

shipping in the Red Sea uh their time

has come and National Security adviser

Mike Waltz he confirmed that the US is

making big air stricks and took out

multiple roody

leaders now taking out leaders I don't

think is going to work because they just

get new

leaders and uh nearly three4 of shipping

is now diverted to get out of that area

three qus and it's way more expensive if

they have to go around the hard

way um and then Mike

Heth um he said that uh that there's a

large scale strike campaign going on

against the hoodies and that it will

will continue and be quote

unrelenting until they uh pledge to back

off

um pledge to back off attacking us

Assets Now here again you have that

problem of what if they do promise

it would the shipping return just

because the hoodie said oh yeah we'll

totally leave your shipping

alone because the real problem is the

insurance you would have have to get the

risk down to

zero how can you ever get the risk down

to zero because even if like one in 20

ships get attacked how are any of them

going to get insurance and they need

insurance so you can't you can't

half-ass this thing you have to

completely destroy the hoodie's ability

to do it or completely destroy the

whoever is fun them Iran in this case um

you have to get them to change their

mind but even if they change their mind

they could change it back you know it's

the same problem if they promised oh we

promise uh yeah we we won't attack your

ships and then a a few ships come back

they only have to attack one and then

the whole thing falls apart

so how much do you have to

kill before you can guarantee that it

will be economical for ships to use that

place again like you either have to wipe

out everything in that area man woman

and child I'm not recommending that I'm

just saying if you wanted to fix it you

would have to actually just depopulate

the place because

they're they don't seem to be afraid of

anything and there always seems to be a

replacement willing to take over and

there's always going to be a new leader

and Iran will still be funding him so

anything sure

of a kind of brutality that we've never

seen before couldn't possibly make a

difference so we'll we'll see if this

gets us

anything um I'm highly skeptical that it

can be solved without doing something

that would be so unconscionable to

American Minds

that doing it would be going too

far I don't know you know if the real

lever is Iran then maybe there maybe

there's something to work

with but I don't know you have to get

the risk down to zero or it just doesn't

even matter you know if the risk is 5%

you know down from 100% getting attacked

down to 5% I don't think that changes

the insurance situation at all because

because 5% is way too much of a risk way

too much it's not even close so we'll

see anyway that's what I got for you

today uh I'm going to say a few words

privately to the local subscribers but

for the rest of you thanks for joining

happy St Patrick's Day uh so I'll say

goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and x and

locals I'm coming at you in 30 seconds

privately we'll have another

sip
