Episode 2784 CWSA 03/20/25

and here I am so we should do a podcast let me check the stocks ah okay enough of that let's get my comments working here and then we'll go to town come on comments you can do it there we go good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's calleded coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cuper mug or a glass of tanker Chell Ain a canteen sugar flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the do me the end of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and damn it it happens right now go delightful one of the best ever well did you know that according to Frontiers and nutrition regular coffee and tea assumption lowers your risk of osteoporosis did you notice when you sipped that your osteoporosis seemed a little bit better yeah good science well Elon Musk has raised almost a billion dollars in new equity for X um and here's the fun part that would value X at about uh $32 billion and that would be close to what he bought it for um so so basically the the outrageous price that he paid for X has already paid for itself do you remember when uh when the biggest thing you could say against Elon Musk was well he's not such a genius he overpaid for x and those of us who were a little bit smarter said you know just wait yeah I'd wait a little bit on that so based on the amount you just rais uh which means he has plans for X I think I I assume that's not just to retire some debt it's probably also to make sure he can do some new stuff but uh it looks like his purchase of X was a good investment of all the things in the world it it was the very one of the very few things his critics had to to cling to oh yeah well okay maybe SpaceX is kind of cool and yeah yeah Tesla was doing all right but but but okay starlink was good and you know neuralink seems like it's changing the world but but but but he he definitely overpaid for X can't say that anymore all right that's fun um apparently a bunch of Hollywood celebrities according to breit barart news uh they got together wrote a letter to the president uh begging him to help with their copyright protection so the same people who were the biggest critics of trump are now begging for help to protect them from AI uh I don't think this is going to work too well but uh here's what I think so do you remember when AI could first make pictures and little little very short videos you know like just a few seconds and then you thought oh um if I can do that I can maybe make a movie just by saying okay start with that change this you know add another character but it could never do anything that took up from where the last image ended it would just be a brand new image so you couldn't do anything with continuity but the continuity has been fixed recently at least by a few apps so I'm going to guess that we're one year away from anybody being able to create a featurelength movie by just talking to the app now you'd still have to be good at it so the the app isn't going to do all the work for you but if you were good at it um I think you can do it and I'm pretty sure I could feed my books at least my my one book uh that's fiction I bet I could just feed it to the AI and say make a movie out of this now the problem would be that the the AI wouldn't want to violate my copyright so I'd have to somehow convince it that I had the rights to the book so that hasn't been solved yet but I think we're really close to here's a book turn it into a movie boom we're very close well speaking of books um according to Wired Magazine Lily hey Newman is writing that uh now you can buy these lowcost drones from big Chinese companies like teu and Ali.

Express that you can add add-ons to the Drone to turn them into terrorist weapons let me say that again China is now selling just you know commercially to anybody who wants to buy it drones that will take add-ons that will turn them into terrorist devices and I don't think that there's any doubt about why they're doing this because I don't think these are going to be available in China so it looks like they're setting up the United States to be destroyed by drones now one of the things that um you can add is the ability to avoid um first of all it'll carry a payload so if it's if you want to carry a bomb or some poison or something they'll sell you that you can just buy it off the shelf now um I mean through the mail but it's off the shelfish and you can even get the kind that if it gets jammed it can turn to visual so as long as it knows what's supposed to be on the ground it can thwart the jamming yeah it's this is really happening now you might know that about 20 some years ago I wrote a book in which I predicted this very time you you've seen the book it's God's debris so God's debris the work has three different books in it but the middle one the religion war is about this exact time so 20 something years ago I said you know terrorists are going to be able to buy a little drone they're going to be able to weaponize it and they be going to be able to launch it and you won't know where it came from and it will be able to snake through your city and attack anything it wants and then we're going to be in big trouble so that's where that is by the way um some of you have asked but now um this is an audio book so you can buy God's debris the complete works as an Audi book so a bunch of you were asking when's the audiobook going to be available it's available now so it's not me but I picked the uh I picked the the reader of the book The reason I couldn't do it is I have too much um I'm just too dyslexic you know I I think I'm worse than I used to be I tried to do the audiobook myself um spent some time at this studio but I can't really read sentences anymore because I can't read them in the order they're written even if I wrote the sentence weirdly so I was unable to do it just from mental disability but also you were asking me about the audio book for my other book had it failed almost everything still wouldn't Pi this is the second edition not the first edition this is the one you want um but the audiobook for that is also available so there's that well but there's even more danger coming apparently China according to the register um Chinese satellites are already practicing dog fighting in space which would be military preparation for a war in space so it's not theoretical they're already practicing dog fights in space but here's the just sort of slipped into the story apparently they already have a a refueling station in space China does for refueling satellites now I don't even know what that means how do you refuel a satellite what are you refueling it with I don't even know what that means but apparently some kind of refueling satellite thing so we'll probably be fighting in space before long um Trump is is looking according to the hill Trump is looking to boost the amount of Coal Energy this country creates now you may say to yourself what coal that's uh that's dirty and it's old school and you know it's not as good as nuclear and there are lots of reasons not to use coal uh however as Trump points out China is building ton of coal power plants and if there's one thing I can teach you about economics is that whoever has the most energy usually wins uh for economics so if the only way you can have enough energy and it looks like we're going to have a massive energy squeeze with all the AI and everything else uh if the only way you can do it is with coal power even with all the downsides the pollution Etc probably it's worth doing now here's the fun part I think trumpa picked exactly the right week to announce this because it's the week that the the left is planning to destroy Tesla as a company and they're they're going big on trying to destroy Tesla which proves they were never serious about climate change so at the same week that the left has proven that they were never serious about climate change Trump comes out with the most anti-climate change policy you could ever even imagine which is hey let's build a whole bunch of coal power plants now I think Trump says stuff like you know clean beautiful coal uh I don't know how clean you can make a coal plan but uh I do know if your options are uh making the atmosphere a little dirtier and having enough energy you're going to want that at as bad as that is I mean you know I'm not trying to downplay any of the negatives there's a lot of negatives but the positives are unfortunately in a in a competitive world it's going to be necessary so I'm very grudgingly in favor of this but I hate it I hate it but I understand it well the JFK files are not completely out but the ones that are out it's mostly out um but the ones people look through do not seem to have any Bombshells but let me just give you you know sort of the things that people are saying about it so according to grock um the file so far would be supportive of the single gunman theory is that what you think do you think that the files so far are supportive of the single shooter I don't know I'm not entire sure that's that's what it's telling us I am sure that it's not telling us anybody else did it so it's not really suggesting somebody else did it but it's not really supportive of the lone gardman Theory it's more like it's not ruling it out I guess that would be one of the things um one of the revelations is that uh you already heard this that uh one of Kennedy's main trusted advisers is Schlesinger um you warned that the CIA was running its own foreign policy 40% of the embassies were CIA and the the Deep State already existed and he was telling Kennedy that he needs to dismantle it uh otherwise basically you've lost your country and that the CIA would be in charge and not long after that um Kennedy was assassinated uh we do know there's more information that the CIA had a mafia connection um the connections seems to be related to Cuba you know maybe efforts to assassinate um Castro we do know that Oswald was known to be a poor Marksman which sort of suggests he wasn't the shooter but I think Russia the Soviet Union um also had been watching him and said he was a poor Marksman and I guess we said he's a poor Marksman so everybody agreed he was a poor Marksman uh we know Oswald was being watched by CIA for some good time before the shooting that's a little suspicious um if you want to go full conspiracy theory there were a bunch of references to Israeli intelligence that had been uh I guess long long redacted in these files but now they're unredacted but they don't say anything that's interesting about Israel so the the only thing that it tells us about Israel is that the CIA and Israel intelligence I guess they did a lot of work together which kind of made sense somebody said that in the Middle East at that time the Soviet Union had a lot of control over the Arab countries and the only non Soviet Union controlled entity was Israel so we had a tight relationship with them with intelligence but there's no indication that Israel had anything to do with the assassination it's just referenced a bunch of times um let's see there's some uh information that there was this telephone call the CIA uh intercepted when uh lee harvy oswal was trying to uh talk to a KGB agent in Mexico City I guess Oswald was trying to get to Mexico to get to Cuba to get to the Soviet Union but we don't know how that's related to any shooting um let's see there's a story about the CIA agent Gary Underhill uh so he was a CIA guy who said that he knew that the shooting was done by a small group of CIA agents but um somebody else said that the only information about that guy was in a communist publication so I would put the credibility of that one guy pretty low I I don't think that means anything and let's a uh and then then that guy was allegedly found shot to death and there was ruled of suicide but that seems low credibility so here's my take um do you remember my prediction about the JFK files what what were my predictions my prediction was there' be nothing new there's a little bit new B linger saying that the CIA was out of control but we kind of knew that I mean I feel like we knew that right I knew it uh we knew that uh Kennedy wanted to get rid of the CIA um so that's not really new so you remember that uh allegedly Trump said that if you saw what I saw you would not have released the JFK files is there anything in these documents that would have scared Trump and told him not to release them answer no so do you believe that there's more documents that maybe we've yet to see that's the good stuff or do you think that the good stuff was simply removed and we just given a bunch of not interesting stuff to just keep us diverted and make us think we saw something yeah I think it's the dumbest question in the world because if it's true if it's true that there was something horrible in the files wouldn't the most obvious thing to do just remove those few documents and then try to sell the rest as complete it's the most obvious thing you would do if you were in that situation and there was something you really wanted to cover up would you say well I'm not going to release anything because then you look pretty guilty or would you say here's 880,000 pages is anything left out no no it's all it's all in there totally believe us trust us it's all in there and I also think what are the odds that if it were that damning that it would be kept in a file do you believe that somebody would have taken a file that was so damning it would have like changed the entire nature of our understanding of America from to to something terrible and it would just be a document and it would just be in a file somewhere that that so stretches the imagination now there wasn't any damning document that they kept in a file just in case somebody wanted it no anyway Doge has discovered 4.7 trillion dollar uh that the treasury Department didn't put any tracking codes on meaning that there was no way to audit or to find out after the fact where $4.7 trillion went there was no way to find out now my bigger question is since this seems to be the case with all the government agencies I think usaid you couldn't really tell where the money was going partly because it was going to this vast web of uh NOS but shouldn't there have been and didn't you kind of think that the government was auditing itself as a routine basis didn't you assume that the government was keeping track of where their trillions of dollars were going apparently not so don't you think we need some kind of you know the uh the auditing department or something because I don't know that doge is going to create an auditing fix um and how in the world did we not know this until now just amazing anyway so doge is is at it meanwhile Trump is expected to sign an executive order to abolish the Department of Education I feel like this is one of those Groundhog Day stories how many times have we've been told that Trump is going to abolish the Department of Education and then it doesn't happen maybe this time it will I'll be optimistic but I'd be a little cautious of this one it just feels like we always go right to the edge it's like oh yeah everybody's we're going to ban this thing is it banned yet no no any minute any minute later well how about now no no not now but but later later we're going to ban this totally ban it how about now uh no so we'll see uh meanwhile uh designated liar Jamie Raskin he's one of the Democrat designated liars and why say say designated Liars there's a small group of Democrats who apparently are willing to say absolutely anything you know just any outrageous lie whereas the more normal Democrats you know the ones you don't see on TV too much they would be embarrassed it's like okay you know I can't say that in public but Jamie Rasin nothing will stop him from any lie in public I guess he went on MSNBC yesterday and he claimed that Trump fired the uh the director of the FAA and that's what caused the American Airline Collision in DC can you believe they even tried to get away with that so it turns out that the FAA director was not even fired by Trump but did resign but was not fired and there doesn't seem to be any connection between any of that and why the American Airlines Collision happened but just think about that from a you know an ignorant Democrat viewer of MSNBC because you'd have to be pretty dumb to be watching MSNBC and think you're seeing news so so you're already filtered to be dumb and then and then this uh allegedly you know credible guy comes on and he tells you yeah the reason for the accident was Trump fired the only guy who could have prevented it it's sort of a dumb lie uh but the MSNBC audience is dumb enough to say huh huh I guess Trump keeps firing people and the planes are going to fall out of the air yeah that's not happening um so speaking of lying Democrats uh the Washington ex examiner has a scoop an exclusive um and that apparently the Democrats put up Billboards in some of the areas where the uh Republican uh Republican representatives were weak you know the places that they want to win and get a democrat in there and the uh the Billboards said that the Republicans want to cut Medicaid and use the money to give tax breaks to to Elon Musk so they put that on uh six different Billboards in six different uh um locations and it looks like they're being threatened by the Republicans to take that down because it's a defamation so they they've already sent a ceon assist letter so I don't know how that works so correct me if I'm wrong um politicians are allowed to lie and you can't sue them right so Jamie Rasin can literally just say anything and you can't say oh that's defamation because he's a elect official but maybe the billboard company since the billboard company are not elected officials then if they say something that's patently untrue I think they can be sued for defamation now the truth is that there is talk about the need to decrease the overall budget in stuff like Medicaid but they're looking at like a you know 10% cut that maybe we can get entirely from Fraud and Abuse and uh apparently there's no Republican who's ever said we're going to cut benefits so you could argue that if there's an idea that it needs to be cut to meet our you know meet our targets for uh the deficit that uh sort of is going to lead to that but it does sound like the Republicans are holding tight uh they don't want to change the benefits to the actual individual user so they would only after their waist FR and abuse and maybe a little uh you know overhead kind of stuff so we'll see if that's enough but the Democrats have gone to just complete lying as their defense do you remember when Democrats had ideas about policies and they'd say hey we get a better idea they don't have that the only thing they have is they sit in the room and they come up with creative lies and then they figure out who's going to say them hey I've got an idea let's just make up some about Medicaid and we'll have Jamie Rasin go out and say it and you know the other designated Liars we can get Adam Schiff to say anything swall well he'll say anything designated liar anyway um so Dean Phillips who's a Democrat who you know remember he ran for president against Biden because he he refused to refused to be a stupid liar even though he was in the stupid laric party so he tries to position himself as the the last reasonable person who's also a Democrat he does pretty good job pretty good job which also means he has no chance of being elected he can't get elected as a Democrat because he's sort of Common Sense CEST um but he said that he was appalled at how Tim was sort of laughing about the destruction of Tesla and he said the you know I really don't recognize my party I don't recognize its principles uh what I saw my governor and my friend Tim wall say today was appalling and I'm just shocked that someone who should know better read the room so poorly and I'm going to give him a little bit of credit I I know sometimes some of you hate it when I give any Democrat any credit but he didn't look like he was acting that's a big deal the the other Democrats they look like they know they're lying and they they look like they know they're acting he's either the best actor I've ever seen and I don't think that's the case or he really meant that he really meant that he was appalled by his own party I think he meant it um and I don't know I I think he's too he's too reasonable to really make it to the top of the party you you need to be a little bit crazy I think to to get uh even nominated to run for president well there's some uh gigantic study about the safety or lack of it for the covid-19 shots and there's some appalling um some appalling outcomes so here are some of the things they found that these shots would c um just assume that there are gigantic percentages of increase that are in the three-digit category so 610 per increased risk of myoc Cardis following the MRNA injection 378 more chance of acute uh disseminated enom alitis uh 323 increased risk of cerebral Venus sinus thrombosis 249 extra risk of Gillian bar is that how you say it Gillian bar syndrome now is that what um who's the singer the young male singer who his face had a little problem didn't he have that gillion bar thing after a shot so that's pretty awful um I did check with grock to see if there was any anything in terms of can but so far the shots are not um confirmed not confirmed to have any impact on cancer rates but I don't know that that's been studied as much as it could be but no indication of extra cancer but these other things are pretty awful secretary Marco Rubio says that Dei is going forever but he means in the state department um and he said this divisive and discrimin atory practice has no place in our country or our diplomacy so good for you secretary Marco Rubio getting rid of Dei I like that um so I I posted on a and I think I need to explain it a little bit I said that uh it feels like this week is the end of the Democrat Party as a political force that can win elections now what I mean is National so obviously the Democrats will still be dominant in in a lot of cities and a lot of States but I feel like they've so destroyed their reputation at this point that I don't know how they could recover it could be the end of them as a national party and if you look at uh if you look at sort of what's happening at the moment the the Tesla stuff I don't think they've calculated that this just completely took away their biggest issue one of the few things that Democrats had left to tell other Democrats that they they should vote vote for Democrats is that uh the Republicans didn't take climate change seriously but Democrats did and now we see the the Tesla protests they never meant that that was all fake so the biggest thing they had left has been debunked now I'm not saying I know what is the answer of climate change I'm just saying that as a political point it's completely dead it's dead as it could be nobody's going to complain about Trump's coal plants this week because it just makes you look like an idiot because if you're still in favor of the Tesla protests you can't really say you're you're all in on climate change all right nobody's going to believe that so that just sort of went away remember when abortion was the biggest question in National politics well one of the smartest things the Republicans did is they knew that they would take a hit by moving it to the States but it got there so now that time has passed that's very much a state issue and there's Justin Bieber yes he's the one who got the his his face at a little droopiness for a while I think I think it wasn't permanent right so they they lost abortion as an issue they lost climate change as an issue they certainly lost border as an issue because the Border policy is very clearly in favor of trump they might lose inflation as an issue because eggs are down and gas is down and Trump's going to meet with the big oil companies today I think and he's gonna was it Bell's policy is is that what Justin Bieber had okay I guess I'm not up to my pop our health issues but in the comments I'm seeing people say Bell's FY um I think that uh the Doge stuff that is now currently the democrat's biggest thing the only thing they really have is the scalpel versus the chainsaw and if Doge Works which we will know for sure and let's say by the third year of Trump's presidency if it works nobody's going to remember the scalpel versus the chainsaw it just has to work if you can make it work everybody's going to say it worked and that's how history will record it they won't remember the little talking point oh the the scalpel not to Hatchet or the scalpel not the chainsaw it'll just completely go away um what about ending the war in Ukraine I think we're we're not that close to get getting that to end but I think it'll be done before Trump is done with his term so that looks like it might go away so there's a whole lot of things that made it you know that gave you a reason oh what about Dei so Dei is being just crushed by the Republicans you know as Marco Rubio said where's all the push back where is the where the protests in the street to say yes we want more de die apparently that was never very important to Democrats it was important to the people who were grifting off it and it was important as a talking point but apparently it wasn't very important and that people pretty much everybody understands that you'd rather have capability and skill um rather than identity so that went away um so what do they have left they're they're going to fight against common sense that's all they have left the fight against Common Sense how can that possibly work except you know locally and maybe at the state level so we'll see I can be very wrong on that you know the here's the alternate argument uh the alternate argument is that it's always a pendulum it doesn't matter what one is doing you could just say all right who's winning this 10 years okay 10 years from now the other ones will be winning and after that we'll go back to the other one winning and I think there's something to that because you know each side adjusts and they come up with new lies and new plans anyway so this was a week we learned that Democrats were never serious about climate change um do you remember the there was the undercover video and I wish I could remember if it was OMG or uh oie's old group I can't remember which got that video I'm going to say OMG because I like I like Keef so I'll just say it was his um where it showed the CNN producer saying oh yeah the next big thing we're going to we're going to be hitting on is climate change and once you see that they're treating it as content and and they're trying to you know frame how people think about it it's hard to say that you can take seriously that they care about it I mean they talked about it as a thing to put on the news they didn't really talk about it as we're going to have to save the world by telling everybody that climate change is is bad um and by the way I just saw Greta tun's name go by in the comments uh and one of my comments was don't you think if climate change were real that Greta tberg would have already come out and said guys guys take this seriously Tesla is not your enemy you know I get how you're mad you know I get it I get it but don't don't destroy the climate because you're mad at one individual for one in one reason that has nothing to do with Tesla so the fact that Greta tunberg is quiet and all the other grifters seem to be quiet that tells you a lot I saw a clip of Jimmy door you know I guess podcast comedian Jimmy door he says he's now doubting climate science because of his Co experience you know learning that the government will lie about literally anything and maybe everything so uh and he was talking to Matt taibi now correct me if I'm wrong but both Matt taibi and Jimmy door uh either were or are registered Democrats right but but both of them got a little redpilled just by you know recent events but uh it's funny to see Jimmy dor he's like the can Mar in the coal mine you know since he would be one of the ones who would go first because he he's already you know got got a foot in each world but uh yeah he's D was even saying that you can't really believe anybody about anything anymore and uh you know you talked about all the projections that are not coming true the coral reefs and all that but here's the argument the worst argument and I I want to convince you all not to make this argument the argument goes if this real Obama never would have bought beachfront property that's a terrible argument do you want to know why because rich people don't give a Flying Fig about maybe I'll lose one of my many houses once you reach a certain level of you know wealth you can kind of put your beach house there and say well if in 20 years the water starts Rising I could either sell it or by then I'm dead or you know I've got five other houses or I'll move it up the beach they they don't make decisions like regular people if they were regular people and they had most of their net wealth in their house and then they put it on the beach well that would be a pretty good point but when you're talk about rich people no none of those rules apply they just want to live by the beach that's the whole story so stop saying that they don't believe in climate change because they have a beach house those two things just don't connect for rich people well Owen Shroyer who was uh I think he's still part of Infowars right but uh he got swatted recently and he had an update today um he said that one of the big problems with chasing after the swatters is that if you're in a an area with a Soros da the Soros will just kill it so the Soros da will have no interest whatsoever in going after a swatter of a conservative just think about that now I'll bet this is real yeah I think he heard it from good sources but that is so awful he also said that uh you know the there have been pizzas that have been uh ordered in somebody's name that seem somehow associated with a swatting well the pizzas that were ordered in his name were from the same location that his coworker at Infowars was murdered recently so and it's not even the closest pizza place to him so somebody intentionally picked the location that was where his coworker got murdered recently and um that's sting a message that's clearly sending a message so uh What uh what Owen says is that uh he's begging people to keep it in the news and make as much noise as possible don't forget it because if the public doesn't push it um the the Soros Das can just ignore it but if there's enough public pressure then maybe something can get done on the good news the uh administration's taking it very seriously so Brendan car the uh head of the FCC he just said recently that uh um the surgeon swatting attacks dangerous form of political violence he says I've been in touch with law enforcement to ensure that they have access to the traceback resources that locate a Call's originating point and Bad actors will face accountability says now I have a technical question maybe some of you know the answer does the government have the ability to trace back the source in every case no matter what technology is being used by the um the the swatters if it's a burner phone can they at least find out you know where it was transmitting from I mean we that won't tell you necessarily the identity of the person but it might I mean it might be might be the burner phone was in an apartment yeah you don't know if they're smart enough enough to take the burner phone to someplace public to use it so I'd love to know if the the Bad actors have found a way to avoid this traceback um my guess is that you can trace a burner phone but uh not the identity of the owner so we'll see but we also have a strong statements by Pam Bondi cash Patel and chrisy gnome uh that they're taking this very seriously and they're going to catch these people and they're going to take them to justice so we'll see well over in Egypt probably most of you saw this story there's a claim that uh scientists using this powerful ground penetrating radar have discovered that beneath the pyramids in Egypt or at least one in particular um there are structures that are maybe twice the height of the tallest building on earth uh under the uh cafrey pyramid in the in the Giza complex now I I think they're assuming that maybe other pyramids have structures too but they allegedly have figured out that there's this enormous complicated structure and that the pyramid would just be the top of it and if you were to dig down two gigantic buildings worth you would see this big structure in there so uh how many how many of you believe that's true I want to see in the comments how many of you think that's true I'm going to remind you of one of my more famous and effective BS filters now this is that what I call the Scott Alexander filter so it's not named after me it's named after a guy named Scott Alexander which also was not his real name by the way it was a pseud name and he he once wrote an article that was just changed me forever it just changed me forever and here's the rule if you ever read a story in the news and it doesn't have to be about Egyptian Pyramids if you ever read a story in the news where your first reaction is oh my God I can't believe that's true it's not true let me say it again this is a very reliable indicator if your first impression is holy cow I can't believe that's true it's almost always not true what was your first impression when you found out that under the the pyramids that some that first of all somebody had ground penetrating radar that could look two gigantic skyscrapers into the ground well that if that technology really exists holy cow I can't believe it uh I I guess we'll be spotting all those tunnels on the borders that the cartel's been using right I guess Israel will be really happy about this new technology because the Hamas will never be able to build a tunnel that they can't detect I mean wow they can look that deep under the ground I don't think so so I'm going to go on record as saying that I think the Scott Alexander rule fits us when really well if I had to make a bet I'd say 50 to one it's not real 50 to one I don't think it's even close to real and you know they've got pictures and images and no I no not not even close I also don't believe that the Egyptians the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids and then forgot how to do it do you believe that all over the planet in different continents at around the same time people had independently without being able to travel you know there wasn't that much travel um that they independently figured out how to move gigantic rocks in ways that even in the modern world we wouldn't be able to move do you believe that all over the world they learned it and then even better every one of those um independent societies that had learned how to make pyramids with gig gantic Boulders and the pyramids are all over the world they're just different kinds but they'll have gigantic rocks that we don't know how they moved do you think they all forgot they all forgot like nobody wrote it down nobody made a hieroglyph to you know show it being done it didn't get passed down or or they just got tired of doing it you know so after hundreds of years or whatever it was of building pyramids they just said you know we're done with pyramids does that sound even a little bit likely I'm going to say that the evidence is strongly suggestive of uh some culture that came before that was teaching all of them how to move big rocks so I'm sure that there was somebody who did have the ability to go from one continent to other did have the technology to move these big rocks cuz somebody did and it wasn't just whipping the slaves harder you know we know that all the ways we can think of wouldn't work for the largest ones some of the smaller rocks you could imagine you know was just sliding on Sand or something like that but the biggest ones no there's no way that no way that the existing population made any of that stuff um so I don't believe any of the egyptology stuff well here's an update on the uh the LA fires the Palisades fires um heard from Joel Pollock he was posting about this on X that uh he had insurance with or does have insurance with State Farm and uh he says uh State Farm maybe the worst insurer in the history of the industry I just received their laughable estimate for repairs to my home and the contents after the Palisades fire he says it is charitably on10th of the actual cost um and and he says that uh I guess this is who's in charge of the insurance industry should shut it down but he's too busy in Bermuda now are other people having the same experience goes I bet they are can you imagine having Insurance having a fully paid up insurance and then when you have the disaster they're only willing to give you about 10% of what it would cost to fix your house he his house survived but needs you know substantial work to make it livable 10% so State firm has some explaining to do and I feel like somebody in the government needs to drag their asses into a room and say all right you know what's going on here um so this is completely unacceptable so State Farm you need to you need to fix that you need to fix that I guess Trump had a call with zinsky um yesterday and it was a fantastic conversation fantastic and one of the ideas was that instead of uh doing a mineral deal so I guess the US has moved away from we'll take your minerals and as payment to we'll run your nuclear power plants because we have expertise I don't know how much expertise we have but sounds like a good idea and I think the idea would be similar to the mineral deal in the sense that it would give the US a uh important presence and some of the more important assets nuclear power um so that might be a disincentive for Russia to attack if they knew that America was running the power plants I don't know if that's enough of a reason for Russia not to attack I don't know um meanwhile the US announced sanctions on Iran so I always think how many sanctions could there be left like do we have infinite sanctions and you could just do more of them all the time so some of them are about uh targeting Iran's oil Minister and its shadow Fleet of tankers so I guess the shadow Fleet would be uh ships that Iran has control of but they're not not not branded as Iranian ships so they can sneak by the sanctions so somehow I guess we can figure out what the shadow Fleet is and I don't know how we're going to stop them unless militarily but uh maybe if they're maybe if they're registered to some private company we could sanction that private company I don't know um but we'll see if that makes any difference uh in other news a federal judge has ruled against uh the Trump ad Administration dismantling the usaid um and the question is whether Elon Musk in his advisory capacity exceeded his authority to which I say was there really some point where Elon Musk was making that kind of decision without checking it with the boss couldn't Trump do that if he wanted would wouldn't Trump be able to cut the budget on usaid because if Trump could cut the budget it and musk was talking to him every day about you know what what the big stuff is he was definitely talking to him about us Aid right so at what point if you're in continuous conversation with the boss can you really say that it wasn't the boss who authorized it it's not it's not like he had a conversation with Trump and Trump said well whatever you do don't cut USA ID and then Elon Musk went and cut it that didn't happen no no matter what those conversations look like they were clearly on the same side so I don't know how the courts can stop that but we'll see we'll see meanwhile cash Patel you've heard this story before he says he's going to Shield his staff at the FBI from any retribution from uh Trump so the retribution would be if there were any FBI agents who were involved in any of that lawfare against Trump or any of the the dirty tricks against Trump but I kind of like this you know I I like that cash Patel is willing to publicly say you know this is a line we're not going to cross and he's the one who will decide if somebody's done something worthy of firing so I kind of like a little bit of push back little bit that makes sense to me so that that would be more I would put this in the scalpel not the chainsaw category so if he wants to Shield some of them because he thinks they're more more valuable than than the power of your retribution I'm okay with that well according according to uh Mario nul he's talking about there's new UK defense intelligence report estimating that Russia has suffered around 900,000 casualties in the Ukraine war so far and up to a quarter million soldiers killed and that's the highest Russian losses since World War II but I guess Putin quite cleverly is doing most of his recruiting not from Moscow so if you lived in you know the the populist the more populated parts of Russia the more metropolitan areas you might not be feeling the war because they're not running out of money in Moscow and that's not where most of the recruits are coming from so they're getting the recruits from you know minorities and places that are further away but my question is how do you kill that and wound that many people without eventually everybody in the country saying what did we get out of this like what what was the point of that you know what if you were wounded if you were a Russian Citizen and you were wounded in that what exactly were you fighting for it's not like Ukraine was going to attack you so wouldn't you feel like that was sort of your Vietnam you know there wasn't any strong reason to do it and there certainly wasn't a strong reason to lose a quarter million people so we'll see I I think maybe Putin has enough control over the media and the country that he can just you know come come up with a frame that you know can keep him in power but in the US that'd be bit big bit of a problem all right so what else is going on so in the hill the publication the hill there's a opinion piece on Ukraine from Alan cooperman now what makes David Sachs was pointing this out on X what makes this unusual is that it starts out with quote I rarely agree with President Trump so this is not a trump supporter but he's going to go on to say that Trump was right about Ukraine so I want to read just some of the opinion of somebody who um apparently is a Democrat who's not bad crazy who was just saying okay I don't agree with Trump but he did get this spot on so here's what he said um and by the way you don't have to agree with this it's just interesting why his argument is um he said that uh um about Trump that his latest controversial statements about Ukraine are mostly true uh they only seem Preposterous because Western audiences have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about Ukraine for more than a decade so he goes on Alan cooperman does he said it was Ukraine's right-wing militants who started the violence in 2014 that provoked Russia's initial invasion of the countryes southeast including Crimea now here's where I'm going to say maybe but it's also possible the the Boris Johnson hypothesis that Putin had long signaled he was going to take Ukraine it's in writing he didn't say I'll take it militarily in writing but it was well signaled far in advance and that maybe Putin was using whatever excuse was available as the justification so I'm not sure I agree with him but he's agreeing with Trump and that's the the news he says second zinsky contributed to a wider War by violating peace deals with Russia the Minsk one and M Minsk 2 and seeking NATO military aid and membership now um I do think there was some violating of the agreements but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a little violating in both directions um and third Joe Biden uh also contributed crucially to the escalation and perpetuation of the fighting and he raised Biden raised false hopes that somehow you know Ukraine could win if you just gave it enough support and nothing's really changed since then you know basically the borders have changed about 1% a few years um and he says even more tragic whatever peace deals emerge after the world will be worse for Ukraine than the Minsk Accords now you could put this in the category of whether or not this U interpretation of things is correct and I do think the Boris Johnson interpretation that Putin was going to do it and he just needed whatever excuse worked and and then there were a few excuses that were given him and made it easy so at least easy to make the decision not easy to do um so my earlier point was what do the Democrats have if if Trump is right about everything in Ukraine and Biden was really the problem and Biden destroyed Ukraine it's really going to be tough for another Democrat to say but trust me I'm not going to make that Biden mistake I know meanwhile over at the University of Glasgow they did a uh study in Scotland and apparently they found that uh four and a five men who were in prison in Scotland have a history of head injury four out of five now do you believe that now a lot of people ask but what does the normal male have it's not unusual for a normal male to have a head injury um anybody who played a sport uh anybody who rode a bicycle you know head injuries are really common for men boys especially so I don't know if that's way on a line or it could be that the you know the same people who would not worry about a crime don't worry about doing something dangerous that could hurt your head so it could be just that it shows that there's a certain group of people who are not afraid of stuff maybe they should be more afraid but but aren't so I'm not sure if it's exactly telling us what we think but I will tell you um my stepson who who is now deceased um he had a serious head injury on a bicycle now he was wearing a helmet so it was a very freak situation that the helmet didn't protect him but he had a very serious head injury and his personality completely changed so he went from the most cautious boy you've ever met just super cautious about sports about anything to having no fear about anything and that no fear about anything is eventually what killed him because he wasn't afraid of taking dangerous drugs and so he overdosed and he knew it because I I talked to him not long before I happened and said all right you do understand that this stuffier you know these pills likely have fentanyl in them and he would tell me yes we we all know that these have fentanyl in them and that they could kill you but he wasn't afraid of anything and so I've seen it in my real life that somebody's person personality goes from um cautious in a way that keeps you alive to willing to take risks that I've never even seen before I mean just just hard to believe risks so I'm willing to believe that this head injury thing has some validity I don't know based on anecdote one anecdote all right ladies and gentlemen that's all I have for you today that's my show for today thanks for joining I'm going to say some private stuff to the local subscribers but the rest of you will see next time if you're on X or You.

Tube or Rumble thanks for joining and local supporters coming at you privately right e e e e

and here I am so we should do a

podcast let me check the stocks ah okay

enough of that let's get my comments

working here and then we'll go to

town come on

comments you can do

it there we go

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

calleded coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time but if

you'd like to take this experience up to

levels that nobody can even understand

with their tiny shiny human brains all

you need for that is a cuper mug or a

glass of tanker Chell Ain a canteen

sugar flask a vessel of any kind fill it

with your favorite liquid I like coffee

join me now for the unparallel pleasure

of the do me the end of the day the

thing makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous Sip and damn it

it happens right now

go

delightful one of the best ever well did

you know that according to Frontiers and

nutrition regular coffee and tea

assumption lowers your risk of

osteoporosis did you notice when you

sipped that your osteoporosis seemed a

little bit better

yeah good

science well Elon Musk has raised almost

a billion dollars in new equity for

X um and here's the fun

part that would value X at about uh $32

billion and that would be close to what

he bought it

for um so so basically the the

outrageous price that he paid for

X has already paid for

itself do you remember when uh when the

biggest thing you could say against Elon

Musk was well he's not such a genius he

overpaid for

x and those of us who were a little bit

smarter said you know just wait yeah I'd

wait a little bit on that so based on

the amount you just rais

uh which means he has plans for X I

think I I assume that's not just to

retire some debt it's probably also to

make sure he can do some new stuff but

uh it looks like his purchase of

X was a good

investment of all the things in the

world it it was the very one of the very

few things his critics had to to cling

to oh yeah well okay maybe SpaceX is

kind of cool and yeah yeah Tesla was

doing all right but but but okay

starlink was good and you know neuralink

seems like it's changing the world but

but but but he he definitely overpaid

for

X can't say that

anymore all right that's

fun um apparently a bunch of Hollywood

celebrities according to breit barart

news uh they got together wrote a letter

to the president uh begging him to help

with their copyright

protection so the same people who were

the biggest critics of trump are now

begging for help to protect them from

AI uh I don't think this is going to

work too well but uh here's what I think

so do you remember when AI could first

make pictures and little little very

short videos you know like just a few

seconds and then you thought oh um if I

can do that I can maybe make a movie

just by saying okay start with that

change this you know add another

character but it could never do anything

that took up from where the last image

ended it would just be a brand new image

so you couldn't do anything with

continuity but the continuity has been

fixed recently at least by a few apps so

I'm going to guess that we're one year

away from anybody being able to create a

featurelength movie by just talking to

the app now you'd still have to be good

at it so the the app isn't going to do

all the work for you but if you were

good at

it um I think you can do it and I'm

pretty sure I could feed my books at

least my my one book uh that's fiction I

bet I could just feed it to the AI and

say make a movie out of this

now the problem would be that the the AI

wouldn't want to violate my copyright so

I'd have to somehow convince it that I

had the rights to the book so that

hasn't been solved yet but I think we're

really close to here's a book turn it

into a movie boom we're very

close well speaking of books um

according to Wired Magazine Lily hey

Newman is writing that uh now you can

buy these lowcost drones from

big Chinese companies like teu and

AliExpress that you can add add-ons to

the Drone to turn them into terrorist

weapons let me say that again China is

now selling just you know commercially

to anybody who wants to buy it drones

that will take

add-ons that will turn them into

terrorist

devices and I don't think that there's

any doubt about why they're doing

this because I don't think these are

going to be available in China so it

looks like they're setting up the United

States to be destroyed by drones now one

of the things that um you can add is the

ability to avoid um first of all it'll

carry a payload so if it's if you want

to carry a bomb or some poison or

something they'll sell you that you can

just buy it off the shelf now um I mean

through the mail but it's off the

shelfish and you can even get the kind

that if it gets jammed it can turn to

visual so as long as it knows what's

supposed to be on the ground it can

thwart the

jamming yeah it's this is really

happening now you might know that about

20 some years ago I wrote a book in

which I predicted this very time you

you've seen the book it's God's debris

so God's debris the work has three

different books in it but the middle one

the religion war is about this exact

time so 20 something years ago I said

you know terrorists are going to be able

to buy a little drone they're going to

be able to weaponize it and they be

going to be able to launch it and you

won't know where it came from and it

will be able to snake through your city

and attack anything it wants and then

we're going to be in big trouble so

that's where that is by the way um some

of you have asked but

now um this is an audio book so you can

buy God's debris the complete works as

an Audi book so a bunch of you were

asking when's the audiobook going to be

available it's available now so it's not

me but I picked the uh I picked the the

reader of the book The reason I couldn't

do it is I have too much um I'm just too

dyslexic you know I I think I'm worse

than I used to be I tried to do the

audiobook myself um spent some time at

this studio but I can't really read

sentences anymore because I can't read

them in the order they're written even

if I wrote the sentence weirdly so I was

unable to do it just from mental

disability but also you were asking me

about the audio book for my other book

had it failed almost everything still

wouldn't Pi this is the second edition

not the first edition this is the one

you want um but the audiobook for that

is also available

so there's

that well but there's even more danger

coming apparently

China according to the

register um Chinese satellites are

already practicing dog fighting in

space which would

be military

preparation for a war in

space so it's not theoretical they're

already practicing dog fights in space

but here's the just sort of slipped into

the story apparently they already have a

a refueling station in space China does

for refueling satellites now I don't

even know what that means how do you

refuel a

satellite what are you refueling it with

I don't even know what that means but

apparently some kind of refueling

satellite thing so we'll probably be

fighting in space before

long um Trump is is looking according to

the hill Trump is looking to boost the

amount of Coal Energy this country

creates now you may say to yourself what

coal that's uh that's

dirty and it's old school and you know

it's not as good as nuclear and there

are lots of reasons not to use coal uh

however as Trump points out China is

building ton of coal power plants

and if there's one thing I can teach you

about

economics is that whoever has the most

energy usually

wins uh for economics so if the only way

you can have enough energy and it looks

like we're going to have a massive

energy squeeze with all the AI and

everything else uh if the only way you

can do it is with coal

power even with all the downsides the

pollution Etc

probably it's worth

doing now here's the fun part I think

trumpa picked exactly the right week to

announce this because it's the week that

the the left is planning to destroy

Tesla as a company and they're they're

going big on trying to destroy Tesla

which proves they were never serious

about climate

change so at the same week that the left

has proven that they were never serious

about climate change Trump comes out

with the most anti-climate

change policy you could ever even

imagine which is hey let's build a whole

bunch of coal power

plants now I think Trump says stuff like

you know clean beautiful coal uh I don't

know how clean you can make a coal plan

but uh I do know if your options

are uh making the atmosphere a little

dirtier and having enough energy you're

going to want that at as bad as that is

I mean you know I'm not trying to

downplay any of the negatives there's a

lot of

negatives but the positives are

unfortunately in a in a competitive

world it's going to be

necessary so I'm very grudgingly in

favor of this but I hate it I hate it

but I understand

it well the JFK files are not completely

out but the ones that are out it's

mostly out um but the ones people look

through do not seem to have any

Bombshells but let me just give you you

know sort of the things that people are

saying about it so according to

grock um the file so far would be

supportive of the single gunman theory

is that what you think do you think that

the files so far are supportive of the

single

shooter I don't know I'm not entire sure

that's that's what it's telling

us I am sure that it's not telling us

anybody else did it so it's not really

suggesting somebody else did it but it's

not really supportive of the lone

gardman Theory it's more like it's not

ruling it out I guess that would be one

of the things um one of the revelations

is that uh you already heard this that

uh one of Kennedy's main trusted

advisers is

Schlesinger um you warned that the CIA

was running its own foreign policy 40%

of the embassies were CIA and the the

Deep State already existed and he was

telling Kennedy that he needs to

dismantle it uh otherwise basically

you've lost your country and that the

CIA would be in

charge and not long after that um

Kennedy was

assassinated uh we do know there's more

information that the CIA had a mafia

connection um the connections seems to

be related to Cuba you know maybe

efforts to assassinate um Castro we do

know that Oswald was known to be a poor

Marksman which sort of suggests he

wasn't the shooter but I think Russia

the Soviet Union um also had been

watching him and said he was a poor

Marksman and I guess we said he's a poor

Marksman so everybody agreed he was a

poor Marksman uh we know Oswald was

being watched by CIA for some good time

before the shooting that's a little

suspicious

um if you want to go full conspiracy

theory there were a bunch of references

to Israeli

intelligence that had been uh I guess

long long redacted in these files but

now they're unredacted but they don't

say anything that's interesting about

Israel so the the only thing that it

tells us about Israel is that the CIA

and Israel intelligence I guess they did

a lot of work together which kind of

made sense somebody said that in the

Middle East at that time the Soviet

Union had a lot of control over the Arab

countries and the only non Soviet Union

controlled entity was Israel so we had a

tight relationship with them with

intelligence but there's no indication

that Israel had anything to do with the

assassination it's just referenced a

bunch of times

um let's

see there's some uh information that

there was this telephone call the

CIA uh intercepted when uh lee harvy

oswal was trying to uh talk to a KGB

agent in Mexico City I guess Oswald was

trying to get to Mexico to get to Cuba

to get to the Soviet Union but we don't

know how that's related to any

shooting um let's see there's a story

about the CIA agent Gary

Underhill uh so he was a CIA guy who

said that he

knew that the shooting was done by a

small group of CIA agents but um

somebody else said that the only

information about that guy was in a

communist

publication so I would put the

credibility of that one guy pretty low I

I don't think that means

anything and let's a

uh and then then that guy was allegedly

found shot to death and there was ruled

of suicide but that seems low

credibility so here's my take um do you

remember my prediction about the JFK

files what what were my

predictions my prediction was there' be

nothing

new there's a little bit new B linger

saying that the CIA was out of control

but we kind of knew that I mean I feel

like we knew that right I knew it uh we

knew that uh Kennedy wanted to get rid

of the

CIA um so that's not really

new so you remember that uh allegedly

Trump said that if you saw what I saw

you would not have released the JFK

files is there anything in these

documents that would have scared Trump

and told him not to release them answer

no

so do you believe that there's more

documents that maybe we've yet to see

that's the good stuff or do you think

that the good stuff was simply removed

and we just given a bunch of not

interesting stuff to just keep us

diverted and make us think we saw

something yeah I think it's the dumbest

question in the world because if it's

true if it's true that there was

something horrible in the files wouldn't

the most obvious thing to do just remove

those few documents and then try to sell

the rest as complete it's the most

obvious thing you would do if you were

in that situation and there was

something you really wanted to cover

up would you say well I'm not going to

release anything because then you look

pretty guilty or would you say here's

880,000

pages is anything left out no no it's

all it's all in there totally believe us

trust us it's all in there and I also

think what are the odds that if it were

that damning that it would be kept in a

file do you believe that somebody would

have taken a file that was so damning it

would have like changed the entire

nature of our understanding of America

from to to something terrible and it

would just be a document and it would

just be in a file somewhere

that that so stretches the imagination

now there wasn't any damning document

that they kept in a file just in case

somebody wanted it

no anyway Doge has discovered 4.7

trillion

dollar uh that the treasury Department

didn't put any tracking codes on meaning

that there was no way to audit or to

find out after the fact where $4.7

trillion went

there was no way to find

out now my bigger question is since this

seems to be the case with all the

government agencies I think usaid you

couldn't really tell where the money was

going partly because it was going to

this vast web of uh

NOS but shouldn't there have been and

didn't you kind of think that the

government was auditing

itself as a routine basis

didn't you assume that the government

was keeping track of where their

trillions of dollars were

going apparently not so don't you think

we need some kind of you know the uh the

auditing department or something because

I don't know that doge is going to

create an auditing

fix um and how in the world did we not

know this until now just

amazing anyway so doge

is is at it meanwhile Trump is expected

to sign an executive order to abolish

the Department of

Education I feel like this is one of

those Groundhog Day stories how many

times have we've been told that Trump is

going to abolish the Department of

Education and then it doesn't

happen maybe this time it will I'll be

optimistic but I'd be a little cautious

of this one it just feels like we always

go right to the edge it's like oh yeah

everybody's we're going to ban this

thing is it banned yet no no any minute

any minute later well how about now no

no not now but but later later we're

going to ban this totally ban it how

about now uh no so we'll

see uh meanwhile uh designated liar

Jamie Raskin he's one of the Democrat

designated liars and why say say

designated Liars there's a small group

of Democrats who apparently are willing

to say absolutely anything you know just

any outrageous lie whereas the more

normal Democrats you know the ones you

don't see on TV too much they would be

embarrassed it's like okay you know I

can't say that in public but Jamie Rasin

nothing will stop him from any lie in

public I guess he went on MSNBC

yesterday and he claimed that Trump

fired the uh the director of the FAA and

that's what caused the American Airline

Collision in

DC can you believe they even tried to

get away with that so it turns out that

the FAA director was not even fired by

Trump but did resign but was not fired

and there doesn't seem to be any

connection between any of that and why

the American Airlines Collision happened

but just think about that from a you

know an ignorant Democrat viewer of

MSNBC because you'd have to be pretty

dumb to be watching MSNBC and think

you're seeing news so so you're already

filtered to be dumb and then and then

this uh

allegedly you know credible guy comes on

and he tells you yeah the reason for the

accident was Trump fired the only guy

who could have prevented

it it's sort of a dumb

lie uh but the MSNBC audience is dumb

enough to say huh huh I guess Trump

keeps firing people and the planes are

going to fall out of the air yeah that's

not

happening um so speaking of lying

Democrats uh the Washington ex examiner

has a scoop an

exclusive um and that apparently the

Democrats put up Billboards in some of

the areas where the uh

Republican uh Republican representatives

were weak you know the places that they

want to win and get a democrat in there

and the uh the Billboards said that the

Republicans want to cut Medicaid and use

the money to give tax breaks to to Elon

[Laughter]

Musk so they put that on uh six

different Billboards in six different uh

um

locations and it looks like they're

being threatened by the Republicans to

take that down because it's a

defamation so they they've already sent

a ceon assist letter

so I don't know how that works so

correct me if I'm wrong um politicians

are allowed to lie and you can't sue

them right so Jamie Rasin can literally

just say anything and you can't say oh

that's defamation because he's a elect

official but maybe the billboard company

since the billboard company are not

elected officials then if they say

something that's patently untrue I think

they can be sued for defamation now the

truth is that there is talk about the

need to decrease the overall budget in

stuff like

Medicaid but they're looking at like a

you know 10% cut that maybe we can get

entirely from Fraud and Abuse and uh

apparently there's no Republican who's

ever said we're going to cut

benefits so you could argue that if

there's an idea that it needs to be cut

to meet our you know meet our targets

for uh the deficit that uh sort of is

going to lead to

that but it does sound like the

Republicans are holding tight uh they

don't want to change the benefits to the

actual individual user so they would

only after their waist FR and abuse and

maybe a little uh you know overhead kind

of stuff so we'll see if that's enough

but the Democrats have gone to just

complete lying as their defense do you

remember when Democrats had ideas about

policies and they'd say hey we get a

better idea they don't have that the

only thing they have is they sit in the

room and they come up with creative lies

and then they figure out who's going to

say them hey I've got an idea let's just

make up some about Medicaid and

we'll have Jamie Rasin go out and say it

and you know the other designated Liars

we can get Adam Schiff to say anything

swall well he'll say anything designated

liar anyway um so Dean Phillips who's a

Democrat who you know remember he ran

for president against Biden because he

he refused

to refused to be a stupid liar even

though he was in the stupid laric party

so he tries to position himself as the

the last reasonable person who's also a

Democrat he does pretty good job pretty

good job which also means he has no

chance of being

elected he can't get elected as a

Democrat because he's sort of Common

Sense

CEST um but he said that he was appalled

at how Tim

was sort of laughing about the

destruction of

Tesla and he said the you know I really

don't recognize my party I don't

recognize its principles uh what I saw

my governor and my friend Tim wall say

today was

appalling and I'm just shocked that

someone who should know better read the

room so

poorly

and I'm going to give him a little bit

of credit I I know sometimes some of you

hate it when I give any Democrat any

credit but he didn't look like he was

acting that's a big deal the the other

Democrats they look like they know

they're lying and they they look like

they know they're

acting he's either the best actor I've

ever seen and I don't think that's the

case or he really meant that he really

meant that he was appalled by his own

party I think he meant

it um

and I don't know I I think he's too he's

too reasonable to really make it to the

top of the party you you need to be a

little bit crazy I think to to get uh

even nominated to run for

president well there's some uh gigantic

study about the safety or lack of it for

the covid-19

shots and there's some appalling um some

appalling outcomes so here are some of

the things they found that these shots

would c um just assume that there are

gigantic percentages of increase that

are in the three-digit category so 610

per increased risk of myoc Cardis

following the MRNA injection

378 more chance of

acute uh disseminated enom

alitis uh

323 increased risk of cerebral Venus

sinus

thrombosis

249 extra risk of Gillian bar is that

how you say it Gillian bar syndrome now

is that

what um who's the singer the young male

singer who his face had a little problem

didn't he have that gillion bar thing

after a

shot so that's pretty awful um I did

check with grock to see if there was any

anything in terms of can

but so far the shots are not um

confirmed not confirmed to have any

impact on cancer rates but I don't know

that that's been studied as much as it

could be but no indication of extra

cancer but these other things are pretty

awful secretary Marco Rubio says that

Dei is going forever but he means in the

state

department um and he said this divisive

and discrimin atory practice has no

place in our country or our diplomacy so

good for you secretary Marco Rubio

getting rid of Dei I like

that um so I I posted on a and I think I

need to explain it a little bit I said

that uh it feels like this week is the

end of the Democrat Party as a political

force that can win elections now what I

mean is National so obviously the

Democrats will still be dominant in in a

lot of cities and a lot of States but I

feel like they've so destroyed their

reputation at this point that I don't

know how they could recover it could be

the end of them as a national party and

if you look at uh if you look at sort of

what's happening at the moment the the

Tesla stuff I don't think they've

calculated that this just completely

took away their biggest issue one of the

few things that Democrats had left to

tell other Democrats that they they

should vote vote for Democrats is that

uh the Republicans didn't take climate

change seriously but Democrats

did and now we see the the Tesla

protests they never meant that that was

all fake so the biggest thing they had

left has been

debunked now I'm not saying I know what

is the answer of climate change I'm just

saying that as a political point it's

completely dead it's dead as it could be

nobody's going to complain about Trump's

coal plants this week because it just

makes you look like an idiot because if

you're still in favor of the Tesla

protests you can't really say you're

you're all in on climate change all

right nobody's going to believe that so

that just sort of went away remember

when abortion was the biggest question

in National

politics well one of the smartest things

the Republicans did is they knew that

they would take a hit by moving it to

the

States but it got there so now that time

has passed that's very much a state

issue and there's Justin Bieber yes he's

the one who got the his his face at a

little droopiness for a while I think I

think it wasn't permanent

right so they they lost abortion as an

issue they lost climate change as an

issue they certainly lost border as an

issue because the Border policy is very

clearly in favor of trump they might

lose inflation as an issue because eggs

are down and gas is down and Trump's

going to meet with the big oil companies

today I think and he's gonna was it

Bell's

policy is is that what Justin Bieber

had okay I guess I'm not up to my pop

our health issues but in the comments

I'm seeing people say Bell's

FY

um I think that uh the Doge stuff that

is now currently the democrat's biggest

thing the only thing they really have is

the scalpel versus the

chainsaw and if Doge Works which we will

know for sure and let's say by the third

year of Trump's presidency if it works

nobody's going to remember the scalpel

versus the chainsaw it just has to work

if you can make it work everybody's

going to say it worked and that's how

history will record it they won't

remember the little talking point oh the

the scalpel not to Hatchet or the

scalpel not the chainsaw it'll just

completely go

away um what about ending the war in

Ukraine I think we're we're not that

close to get getting that to end but I

think it'll be done before Trump is done

with his term so that looks like it

might go away so there's a whole lot of

things that made it you know that gave

you a reason oh what about

Dei so Dei is being just crushed by the

Republicans you know as Marco Rubio said

where's all the push back where is the

where the protests in the street to say

yes we want more de die

apparently that was never very important

to

Democrats it was important to the people

who were grifting off it and it was

important as a talking point but

apparently it wasn't very important and

that people pretty much everybody

understands that you'd rather have

capability and skill um rather than

identity so that went

away um so what do they have left

they're they're going to fight against

common sense that's all they have left

the fight against Common Sense how can

that possibly work except you know

locally and maybe at the state level so

we'll see I can be very wrong on that

you know the here's the alternate

argument uh the alternate argument is

that it's always a

pendulum it doesn't matter what one is

doing you could just say all right who's

winning this 10 years okay 10 years from

now the other ones will be winning and

after that we'll go back to the other

one winning and I think there's

something to that because you know each

side adjusts and they come up with new

lies and new

plans anyway so this was a week we

learned that Democrats were never

serious about climate change

um do you remember the there was the

undercover video and I wish I could

remember if it was OMG

or uh oie's old group I can't remember

which got that video I'm going to say

OMG because I like I like

Keef so I'll just say it was his um

where it showed the CNN producer saying

oh yeah the next big thing we're going

to we're going to be hitting on is

climate change and once you see that

they're treating it as

content and and they're trying to you

know frame how people think about it

it's hard to say that you can take

seriously that they care about it I mean

they talked about it as a thing to put

on the news they didn't really talk

about it as we're going to have to save

the world by telling everybody that

climate change is is bad um and by the

way I just saw Greta tun's name go by in

the comments uh and one of my comments

was don't you think if climate change

were real that Greta tberg would have

already come out and said guys

guys take this seriously Tesla is not

your enemy you know I get how you're mad

you know I get it I get it but don't

don't destroy the climate because you're

mad at one individual for one in one

reason that has nothing to do with Tesla

so the fact that Greta tunberg is quiet

and all the other grifters seem to be

quiet that tells you a lot I saw a clip

of Jimmy door you know I guess podcast

comedian Jimmy door he says he's now

doubting climate science because of his

Co experience you know learning that the

government will lie about literally

anything and maybe everything so uh and

he was talking to Matt taibi now correct

me if I'm wrong but both Matt taibi and

Jimmy

door uh either were or are registered

Democrats right but but both of them got

a little redpilled just by you know

recent

events but uh it's funny to see Jimmy

dor he's like the can Mar in the coal

mine you know since he would be one of

the ones who would go first because he

he's already you know got got a foot in

each world but uh yeah he's D was even

saying that you can't really believe

anybody about anything anymore and uh

you know you talked about all the

projections that are not coming true the

coral reefs and all that but here's the

argument the worst argument and I I want

to convince you all not to make this

argument the argument goes if this real

Obama never would have bought beachfront

property that's a terrible argument do

you want to know

why because rich people don't give a

Flying Fig about maybe I'll lose one of

my many

houses once you reach a certain level of

you know wealth you can kind of put your

beach house there and say well if in 20

years the water starts Rising I could

either sell it or by then I'm dead or

you know I've got five other houses or

I'll move it up the beach they they

don't make decisions like regular people

if they were regular people and they had

most of their net wealth in their house

and then they put it on the beach well

that would be a pretty good point but

when you're talk about rich people no

none of those rules apply they just want

to live by the beach that's the whole

story so stop saying that they don't

believe in climate change because they

have a beach house those two things just

don't connect for rich

people well Owen

Shroyer who was uh I think he's still

part of Infowars right but uh he got

swatted recently and he had an update

today um he said that one of the big

problems with chasing after the

swatters is that if you're in a an area

with a Soros

da the Soros will just kill it so the

Soros da will have no interest

whatsoever in going after a swatter of a

conservative just think about that now

I'll bet this is real yeah I think he

heard it from good

sources

but that is so

awful he also said that uh you know the

there have been pizzas that have been uh

ordered in somebody's name that seem

somehow associated with a swatting well

the pizzas that were ordered in his name

were from the same location that his

coworker at Infowars was murdered

recently

so and it's not even the closest pizza

place to him so somebody intentionally

picked the location that was where his

coworker got murdered

recently

and um that's sting a message that's

clearly sending a

message so uh What uh what Owen says is

that uh he's begging people to keep it

in the news and make as much noise as

possible don't forget it because if the

public doesn't push it um the the Soros

Das can just ignore it but if there's

enough public pressure then maybe

something can get done on the good news

the uh administration's taking it very

seriously so Brendan car the uh head of

the

FCC he just said recently that uh um the

surgeon swatting attacks dangerous form

of political violence he says I've been

in touch with law enforcement to ensure

that they have access to the traceback

resources that locate a Call's

originating

point and Bad actors will face

accountability says now I have a

technical question maybe some of you

know the

answer does the government have the

ability to trace back the source in

every case no matter what technology is

being used by the um the the swatters if

it's a burner

phone can they at least find out you

know where it was transmitting from I

mean we that won't tell you necessarily

the identity of the person but it might

I mean it might be might be the burner

phone was in an

apartment yeah you don't know if they're

smart enough enough to take the burner

phone to someplace public to use it so

I'd love to know if the the Bad actors

have found a way to avoid this

traceback

um my guess is that you can trace a

burner phone but uh not the identity of

the owner so we'll see but we also have

a strong statements by Pam Bondi cash

Patel and chrisy gnome uh that they're

taking this very seriously and they're

going to catch these people and they're

going to take them to justice so we'll

see well over in Egypt probably most of

you saw this story there's a claim that

uh scientists using this powerful ground

penetrating radar have discovered that

beneath the pyramids in Egypt or at

least one in particular um there are

structures that are maybe twice the

height of the tallest building on earth

uh under the uh cafrey pyramid in the in

the Giza

complex now I I think they're assuming

that maybe other pyramids have

structures too but they

allegedly have figured out that there's

this enormous complicated structure and

that the pyramid would just be the top

of it and if you were to dig down two

gigantic buildings worth you would see

this big structure in

there so uh how many how many of you

believe that's

true I want to see in the comments how

many of you think that's

true I'm going to remind you of one of

my more famous and effective BS

filters now this is that what I call the

Scott Alexander filter so it's not named

after me it's named after a guy named

Scott Alexander which also was not his

real name by the way it was a pseud name

and he he once wrote an article that was

just changed me forever it just changed

me forever and here's the rule if you

ever read a story in the news and it

doesn't have to be about Egyptian

Pyramids if you ever read a story in the

news where your first reaction is oh my

God I can't believe that's

true it's not

true let me say it again this is a very

reliable indicator if your first

impression is

holy cow I can't believe that's

true it's almost always not

true what was your first impression when

you found out that under the the

pyramids that some that first of all

somebody had ground penetrating radar

that could look two gigantic skyscrapers

into the

ground well that if that technology

really exists holy cow I can't believe

it uh I I guess we'll be spotting all

those tunnels on the borders that the

cartel's been using right I guess Israel

will be really happy about this new

technology because the Hamas will never

be able to build a tunnel that they

can't detect I mean wow they can look

that deep under the

ground I don't think so so I'm going to

go on record as saying that I think the

Scott Alexander rule fits us when really

well if I had to make a bet I'd say 50

to one it's not real 50 to one I don't

think it's even close to real and you

know they've got pictures and images and

no I no not not even close I also don't

believe that the Egyptians the ancient

Egyptians built the pyramids and then

forgot how to do it do you believe that

all over the planet

in different continents at around the

same time people had independently

without being able to travel you know

there wasn't that much travel um that

they independently figured out how to

move gigantic rocks in ways that even in

the modern world we wouldn't be able to

move do you believe that all over the

world they learned it and then even

better every one of those um independent

societies that had learned how to make

pyramids with gig gantic Boulders and

the pyramids are all over the world

they're just different kinds but they'll

have gigantic rocks that we don't know

how they moved do you think they all

forgot they all forgot like nobody wrote

it down nobody made a hieroglyph to you

know show it being done it didn't get

passed down or or they just got tired of

doing it you know so after hundreds of

years or whatever it was of building

pyramids they just said you know we're

done with

pyramids does that sound even a little

bit

likely I'm going to say that the

evidence is strongly

suggestive of uh some culture that came

before that was teaching all of them how

to move big rocks so I'm sure that there

was somebody who did have the ability to

go from one continent to other did have

the technology to move these big rocks

cuz somebody did and it wasn't just

whipping the slaves harder you know we

know that all the ways we can think of

wouldn't work for the largest ones some

of the smaller rocks you could imagine

you know was just sliding on Sand or

something like that but the biggest ones

no there's no way that no way that the

existing population made any of that

stuff um so I don't believe any of the

egyptology

stuff well here's an update on the uh

the LA fires the Palisades fires um

heard from Joel Pollock he was posting

about this on X that uh he had insurance

with or does have insurance with State

Farm and uh he says uh State Farm maybe

the worst insurer in the history of the

industry I just received their laughable

estimate for repairs to my home and the

contents after the Palisades fire he

says it is charitably on10th of the

actual cost

um

and and he says that uh I guess this is

who's in charge of the insurance

industry should shut it down but he's

too busy in Bermuda now are other people

having the same experience goes I bet

they are can you imagine having

Insurance having a fully paid up

insurance and then when you have the

disaster they're only willing to give

you about 10% of what it would cost to

fix your house he his house survived but

needs you know substantial work to make

it

livable

10% so State firm has some explaining to

do and I feel like somebody in the

government needs to drag their asses

into a room and say all right you know

what's going on here um so this is

completely unacceptable so State Farm

you need to

you need to fix that you need to fix

that I guess Trump had a call with

zinsky um yesterday and it was a

fantastic conversation

fantastic and one of the ideas was that

instead of uh doing a mineral deal so I

guess the US has moved away from we'll

take your minerals and as payment to

we'll run your nuclear power plants

because we have expertise I don't know

how much expertise we have but sounds

like a good idea and I think the idea

would be similar to the mineral deal in

the sense that it would give the US a uh

important presence and some of the more

important assets nuclear power um so

that might be a disincentive for Russia

to attack if they knew that America was

running the power plants I don't know if

that's enough of a reason for Russia not

to attack I don't

know um

meanwhile the US announced sanctions on

Iran so I always think how many

sanctions could there be left like do we

have infinite sanctions and you could

just do more of them all the time so

some of them are about uh targeting

Iran's oil Minister and its shadow Fleet

of tankers so I guess the shadow Fleet

would be uh ships that Iran has control

of but they're not not not branded as

Iranian ships so they can sneak by the

sanctions so somehow I guess we can

figure out what the shadow Fleet is and

I don't know how we're going to stop

them unless

militarily but uh maybe if they're maybe

if they're registered to some private

company we could sanction that private

company I don't know um but we'll see if

that makes any

difference uh in other news a federal

judge has ruled against uh the Trump ad

Administration dismantling the

usaid um and the question is whether

Elon Musk in his advisory capacity

exceeded his authority to which I say

was there really some point where Elon

Musk was making that kind of decision

without checking it with the

boss couldn't Trump do that if he wanted

would wouldn't Trump be able to cut the

budget on

usaid because if Trump could cut the

budget

it and musk was talking to him every day

about you know what what the big stuff

is he was definitely talking to him

about us

Aid

right so at what point if you're in

continuous conversation with the

boss can you really say that it wasn't

the boss who authorized it it's not it's

not like he had a conversation with

Trump and Trump said well whatever you

do don't cut USA ID and then Elon Musk

went and cut it that didn't

happen no no matter what those

conversations look like they were

clearly on the same

side so I don't know how the courts can

stop that but we'll see we'll

see meanwhile cash Patel you've heard

this story before he says he's going to

Shield his staff at the FBI from any

retribution from uh Trump so the

retribution would be if there were any

FBI agents who were involved in any of

that lawfare against Trump or any of the

the dirty tricks against Trump but I

kind of like

this you know I I like that cash Patel

is willing to publicly say you know this

is a line we're not going to cross and

he's the one who will decide if

somebody's done something worthy of

firing so I kind of like a little bit of

push back

little bit that makes sense to me so

that that would be more I would put this

in the scalpel not the chainsaw category

so if he wants to Shield some of them

because he thinks they're more more

valuable than than the power of your

retribution I'm okay with

that well according according to uh

Mario nul he's talking about there's new

UK defense intelligence report

estimating that Russia has suffered

around 900,000 casualties in the Ukraine

war so far and up to a quarter million

soldiers killed and that's the highest

Russian losses since World War II but I

guess Putin quite cleverly is doing most

of his recruiting not from

Moscow so if you lived in you know the

the populist the more populated parts of

Russia the more metropolitan areas you

might not be feeling the war because

they're not running out of money in

Moscow and that's not where most of the

recruits are coming from so they're

getting the recruits from you know

minorities and places that are further

away but my question is how do you kill

that and wound that many people without

eventually everybody in the country

saying what did we get out of this like

what what was the point of that you know

what if you were wounded if you were a

Russian Citizen and you were wounded in

that what exactly were you fighting for

it's not like Ukraine was going to

attack you so wouldn't you feel like

that was sort of your Vietnam you know

there wasn't any strong reason to do it

and there certainly wasn't a strong

reason to lose a quarter million

people so we'll see I I think maybe

Putin has enough control over the media

and the country that he can just you

know come come up with a frame that you

know can keep him in power but in the US

that'd be bit big bit of a

problem all right so what else is going

on so in the hill the publication the

hill there's a opinion piece on Ukraine

from Alan

cooperman now what makes David Sachs was

pointing this out on X what makes this

unusual is that it starts out with quote

I rarely agree with President Trump so

this is not a trump supporter but he's

going to go on to say that Trump was

right about Ukraine so I want to read

just some of the opinion of somebody who

um apparently is a Democrat who's not

bad crazy who was just saying okay

I don't agree with

Trump but he did get this spot on so

here's what he said um and by the way

you don't have to agree with this it's

just interesting why his argument is um

he said that

uh um about Trump that his latest

controversial statements about Ukraine

are mostly true uh they only seem

Preposterous because Western audiences

have been fed a steady diet of

disinformation about Ukraine for more

than a

decade so he goes on Alan cooperman does

he said it was Ukraine's right-wing

militants who started the violence in

2014 that provoked Russia's initial

invasion of the countryes southeast

including Crimea

now here's where I'm going to

say maybe but it's also possible the the

Boris Johnson hypothesis that Putin had

long signaled he was going to take

Ukraine it's in writing he didn't say

I'll take it militarily in writing but

it was well signaled far in advance and

that maybe Putin was

using whatever excuse was available as

the justification so I'm not sure I

agree with him but he's agreeing with

Trump and that's the the news he says

second zinsky contributed to a wider War

by violating peace deals with Russia the

Minsk one and M Minsk 2 and seeking NATO

military aid and

membership now um I do think there was

some violating of the agreements but I'd

be surprised if there wasn't a little

violating in both

directions um and third Joe Biden uh

also contributed crucially to the

escalation and perpetuation of the

fighting and he raised Biden raised

false hopes that somehow you know

Ukraine could win if you just gave it

enough

support and nothing's really changed

since then you know basically the

borders have changed about 1% a few

years

um and he says even more tragic whatever

peace deals emerge after the world will

be worse for Ukraine than the Minsk

Accords now you could put this in the

category of whether or not this U

interpretation of things is correct and

I do think the Boris Johnson

interpretation that Putin was going to

do it and he just needed whatever excuse

worked and and then there were a few

excuses that were given him and made it

easy so at least easy to make the

decision not easy to do um so my earlier

point was what do the Democrats have

if if Trump is right about everything in

Ukraine and Biden was really the problem

and Biden destroyed Ukraine it's really

going to be tough for another Democrat

to say but trust me I'm not going to

make that Biden

mistake I know meanwhile over at the

University of Glasgow they did a uh

study in Scotland and apparently they

found that uh four and a five men who

were in prison in Scotland have a

history of head

injury four out of five now do you

believe that now a lot of people ask but

what does the normal male

have it's not unusual for a normal male

to have a head injury um anybody who

played a sport uh anybody who rode a

bicycle you know head injuries are

really common for men boys especially so

I don't know if that's way on a line

or it could be that the you know the

same people who would not worry about a

crime don't worry about doing something

dangerous that could hurt your head so

it could be just that it shows that

there's a certain group of people who

are not afraid of stuff maybe they

should be more afraid but but aren't so

I'm not sure if it's exactly telling us

what we think but I will tell you um my

stepson who who is now

deceased um he had a serious head injury

on a bicycle now he was wearing a helmet

so it was a very freak situation that

the helmet didn't protect him but he had

a very serious head injury and his

personality completely changed so he

went from the most cautious boy you've

ever met just super cautious about

sports about anything to having no fear

about

anything and that no fear about anything

is eventually what killed him because he

wasn't afraid of taking dangerous drugs

and so he overdosed and he knew it

because I I talked to him not long

before I happened and said all right you

do understand that this stuffier you

know these pills likely have fentanyl in

them and he would tell me yes we we all

know that these have fentanyl in them

and that they could kill

you but he wasn't afraid of anything and

so I've seen it in my real life that

somebody's person personality goes from

um cautious in a way that keeps you

alive to willing to take risks that I've

never even seen before I mean just just

hard to believe

risks so I'm willing to believe that

this head injury thing has some validity

I don't

know based on anecdote one

anecdote all

right ladies and gentlemen that's all I

have for you today that's my show for

today thanks for joining I'm going to

say some private stuff to the local

subscribers but the rest of you will see

next time if you're on X or YouTube or

Rumble thanks for joining and local

supporters coming at you privately
