Episode 2792 CWSA 03/28/25

come on in we're almost ready for the show you deserve well I think you deserve it do you yeah yeah I think you do you've been good all right let's check the stocks uh well not so good all right forget about that there'll be better later but I got to call up my comments here make sure everybody's on board there we go boy there's a lot of news today so much news oh my goodness good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams 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 m glass of tanker Shel din the Cante juger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens right now yes exactly go fully recharged I'm at working at full strength today we got news we're going to pound right through it you ready for this happy Friday by the way let's see is there any new science that they could have completely skipped just by asking Scott oh yeah here's one the University of South Australia found out that um being happy in your career doesn't make you happy in life but being happy in general in your life can make you enjoy your career that you have more um they could have just ask me yes it's called Baseline happiness and if you're happy in general everything else in your life looks better how how many of you didn't know that was there anybody who thought you know if I were depressed but I got a better job I'll bet that would cheer me up no doesn't work that way if you're happy then even your crap job seems pretty good to you and if you're unhappy it doesn't matter how good your job is you're still going to be unhappy so just ask me next time I could have cleared that up saved you a lot of money well according to Marine Insight publication uh over in Germany there's this revolutionary new Wastewater processing plant it's a Wastewater processing plant and what's revolutionary is that they can convert the Wastewater into methanol which I guess is kind of climate neutral and you can use that for marine fuels now I wonder if there's anybody who works on the Wastewater project that would tell us that we live in a simulation let's see um the waste water is being explained by Dr wizzing WSS iing whizzing so Dr whizzing can tell you about the waste water um apparently Dr pooping was not available he he's the number two yep Dr whizzing for Wastewater okay okay all right all right judge me you can judge me on that one um this you knew was coming nextg defense is reporting that Max our intelligence they've developed a a vision-based software that can make GPS unnecessary for your drone so in other words if your drone gets jammed and it can't see the GPS signal it doesn't care because maxar intelligence has this these databases that are really detailed uh they've got 3D terrain data for 34 million square miles so it can just switch to or maybe it doesn't even need GPS which means that there's practically no defense against drones now if your drone can't be jammed if you can't Jam the GPS uh that seems like a problem so you yes uh as nval ravan said recently it's really inevitable that all Warfare will be drones because why would you need anything else it's all going to be drones well if you haven't yet seen Ezra Klein on John Stewart's podcast oh you have to see this I so recommend this so look for the clips if you just see the clips you'll you'll see everything you need to see but uh so Ezra Klein is a co-author of the book abundance and he's doing you know I have to say my my first impression was hey you're just writing a book that says democrats should act more like Republicans if they want to win anything so I wasn't sure it was adding much to the world but now I think it is so I'm going to I'm going to switch to full compliment to Ezra Klein and I guess Derek Thompson the two co-authors so the the thing that was amazing is that um uh you know you've heard Ezra Klein talk about how the Democrats uh are good at funding impressive things but then for reasons that I didn't quite understand nothing got done so there was the funding of the highspeed rail in California that didn't get done there was the funding of the um the rural Broadband inter that didn't get done there was the funding of the Nationwide charging stations that didn't get done all good ideas in theory but all they could do is give them money and not get anything done and if you wonder why it is then nothing gets done you just have to you just have to here as reclin go through the 14 steps it would have taken to approve the just the the project for the car charging stations oh my God I'm not going to run through the 14 because it's pretty pedantic but you have to watch John Stewart for the first time understanding how completely doomed the Democrat way of work is because the regulations are mostly I'm thinking mostly Democrat created and if you looked at any one of them individually you'd probably say to yourself all right well I could see why you'd want this group to review it or I could see why you'd want to run it through this group for approval but once you get to 14 different steps and everybody's got to review it and analyze it and they got time for comment it becomes literally impossible so it's not just that it didn't happen it's that the system was impossible so anybody who tried to apply to you know be one of the people who executed on these funded um projects couldn't get through it it would take you the rest of your life if you got through it at all so there is no way to actually execute on these uh well-meaning Democrat gigantic projects there is no way now what is it I always say about the difference between Republicans and Democrats Democrats are really good at goals highspeed rail that's a goal I like it uh rural internet Broadband I like it uh a nationwide uh charging stations for electric cars sounds pretty good those are good goals I like it but they also developed a system that made it impossible now let's compare that to the Republicans Republicans would say get rid of all these uh this red tape and then it works that's it so the Republicans have a system which is in general get rid of the red tape now beyond that if you got rid of enough red tape maybe you don't even need much government funding maybe maybe the private sector can do it but the Republicans consistently have systems that would work and the Democrats consistently have pretty good goals we'd like everybody to do well we'd like the schools to do well take take uh public education the Democrats have a very good goal that uh no matter what your income is or what your situation is in life you should get a good education and the government government can help you on that but then they overlay it with you know the the the the Department of Education which was a problem they overlay it with the teachers union and you very quickly get to the point where the system for providing that thing which is a good it just doesn't work and that's what we observe scores are going down in every way the uh whereas the Republicans would say well nothing works unless there's competition so let's make sure there's a lot more competition for private schools or alternative schools so again in every domain it's the same Democrats good on goals don't have a systems let's check check in on Dei um Charlie Kirk has a post where he's talking about daily wire Story by uh Luke rosak I guess he did a great job on this and the story is about uh a group called The National diversity Council now remember I tell you that it it turns out that you can tell all the fraudulent organizations because they string together words that sound good so instead of the national diversity Council it could have been the American Ferness initiative you can just put any words together the Freedom diversity Association and then you start getting money well one of the founders uh Dennis Kennedy allegedly paid himself $450,000 a year for 10 hours of work a week but then in 2022 allegedly at the peak of Dei Mania uh he and a few other Executives decided that they really owed another $3 million in back pay uh and so they looted the organization is the accusation and now the now the organization is filing for bankruptcy with the board saying that Kennedy systematically looted it by funling its assets to an to a for-profit firm controlled by himself does that sound familiar that's exactly what we were finding out with all the NGS if the NGO gets a lot of funding let's say from the government could be private donations uh then the first thing they'll do is say here's how we're spending that money we're going to hire this for-profit entity that just happens to be my wife or just happens to be me with another name and we're not going to have any accounting so that it's not as obvious what we're doing it's the same scam everywhere and once you realize the pattern you can just pick it up instantly it's like oh you got a bunch of money you gave yourself a generic name like the national diversity Council and uh you can protect yourself by accusing any of your critics of being racists ah see that's important because if you don't have an audit process and you're planning to loot the organization you want to make sure that if anybody blames you of anything you could say oh my God what are you some kind of white supremacist who hates who hates diversity don't you see that diversity is in the name of our organization of course it's good because it says diversity right in it it's right in the name you racist I think we're on to it now I think we can spot these a little easier well Mario nul is reporting that uh Trump has threatened to defund the Smithsonian over what he calls divisive narratives and he's ordered JD Vance to go clean house whatever that means and what he wants to do is remove what he calls improper ideology or El to lose Federal funding and he accuses the Museum of pushing a decades long effort to rewrite US history with distorted ideological narratives instead of facts so they're going to have to get rid of all the divisive content or else the government won't fund them anymore and to me um I I can see why they're doing it I'm sure it's a good idea but history has always been fake so when you take one version of fake history and somebody's trying to rewrite it to another version of fake history it doesn't make it more accurate but there is a version of History that's better for the country and if you're deciding to change the history to white people suck now I haven't seen what the smithsonia is up to but I'm just going to take a WI wild guess that what they're saying is that white people are the problem they killed all the Native Americans they created all the slavery they stole all the money and white people are bad just a guess I I don't have any information that that's what this Smithsonian was doing but what do you think what else would it be so yeah it's very very damaging to have a fake history that says the people who live here today are part of the problem you don't want that so it is better even if it's fake history to say that your country was awesome and you're still awesome it's better well here's a story that really sounds great for America just listen to this according to interesting engineering uh an enormous um massive lithium deposits have been discovered in the us uh worth $540 billion so much that it would vastly reduce China's grip on the United States for lithium so I I'm reading this I'm like wow $540 billion worth of lithium and it seems to be accessible isn't that the greatest story the only thing that could be bad about this is if it's in California don't be in California please don't be in California please please don't be in Cali California it's in California uh beneath the surface of the sultan sea so I guess the value is not 540 billion it would be closer to uh let me call up Ezra Klein uh Ezra uh there's $540 billion worth of lithium in California under the sultan sea do you think we can okay calm down Ezra calm down okay yeah I I know we'll never get it yeah I know 14 steps okay we'll just leave it there never mind thank you goodbye yeah that's a complete waste of time because it's in California I'd love to be wrong I would love to be wrong but no it's worth nothing because it's in California that's all you need to know uh Trump has floated the idea of May be easing off on tariffs according to Reuters um on China if China approves the sale of tick tock to an American entity what do you think of that idea going easy on tariffs on China if they approve a ticktock deal here's the problem that would be transferring wealth from um from the citizens of the United States to the rich people in the United States who bought Tik Tock so the benefactors would be the billionaires who buy tiktock and that would be paid for partly by money that would have otherwise gone into the treasury so how is Trump going to did he think this through now I'm not saying it's a bad idea by the way what I'm saying is how do you sell it because it's it's total oligarch friendly citizen unfriendly American last I mean to me it looks like it'd be kind of good for China uh and good for a few oligarchs who buy it who were his buddies and I don't see how you sell this thing now I will give you one possibility one of the things that Trump said was that the US government if it's being helpful and making the deal happen should get a percentage of tick tock oh now that was not part of this story but remember Trump has floated that idea and he was serious about it and it makes sense if the government is doing something important to make a private investment worth something from zero to maybe be worth a trillion dollars someday why don't we get a piece of it if you give me a piece of it meaning the citizens I'm all in yeah if you say we're going to reduce tariffs a little bit on China um to get this deal done but in the end the United States let's say our Sovereign fund you know we I think we're going to have trouble funding The Sovereign fund there's some some technical reason why the Sovereign fund might be in Jeopardy um but this seems like a perfect use for for a sovereign fund where we invest literally zero and we get a percentage of take out I I'd be happy with more of that so if if Trump combines two things he's floated one is the reduction of tariffs get the deal done and the other is us gets a piece of the deal you can sell that that that would be sellable all well um the the house is is uh according to just the news the house passed a legislation to keep foreign influence and of higher education called the deterrent act and uh let's see what it does it mandates that schools have to report foreign gifts uh I think this is mostly universities and colleges have to report foreign gifts or at least $50,000 or more and they have to report it to the checking notes they have to report that to the Department of Education huh do do you see anything see any problem with the legislation because the Department of Education is being closed don't they need to update that I swear I don't even know what I'm reading at this point is this true did did they just yesterday the Republicans this would only be through the house not the Senate but did they really just passed some legislation in the house that says somebody has to report to the Department of no longer existing there must be something wrong with the story but maybe not well RFK Jr who I thought was being a little bit quiet you know until he got his SE legs and figured out what was what but boy he's not quiet now um I saw Wall Street Apes had a video I couldn't tell how old it was but he was talking how uh Black Rock owns all of the Meat Packers in the United States there are only four uh big companies but Black Rock owns them all and they um according to RFK they also own a lot of the big Pharma now I don't know if own is the right description they might own a percentage but does Black Rock own a controlling interest in Pharma because that would be something I'd never heard before I definitely knew that they were heavily invested in everything that matters you know pretty much every industry that matters but a controlling interest I don't know and do they have a controlling interest or already own the Meat Packers so I have some questions about that but that's something RFK jun's bringing up seems important to me um then he also reported that uh some of the career civil servant bureaucrats were keeping RFK Jr from accessing databases uh that would have information about risks and dangers of certain drugs and medical interventions can you imagine that and RV JR says that that these bureaucrats are seemingly only serving the industries they were supposed to regulate so everything that RFK Jr has been telling us before he got the job you know to be in charge of all this stuff it looks like it's all true it looks like these are completely broken industries that are just serving the uh the Pharma the far industries that it just seems broken entirely um but uh RFK junor was on Chris Cuomo show in news nation and he said the CDC so that would be under him is launching a new sub agency to specialize in vaccine injuries um so that should make you happy now he's very careful about the fact that you know it's not going to be based on the hearsay or anecdote they're going to look into it with the you know the best gold standard science that they can which has not been applied to this question yet so if the only thing he does is apply the best science to it even if it finds out that the vaccines weren't as bad as you thought you're going to be a lot happier now I think most of you are expecting to find out that the vaccinations various ones not just not just Co uh but I think you expect at least this audience does that it's going to find out that they were much more dangerous than you thought so but either way we need to know we need to know I'm open to the fact that it might go either way um but we definitely need to know it's it's right at the top of things we should be caring about and then uh RFK Jr was talk about Elon Musk using AI to improve health and efficiency and improve delivery so he said they've had a bunch of geniuses come over to RFK Jr's domain to try to figure out how to do that can you imagine how much money could be driven out of health care if you only knew what worked and what doesn't separately I saw another story I didn't I didn't write this one down um about how there's a a large number of complications with medication that are very specific to your genetic makeup so if you could of course there's a problem you know anytime your your genetic makeup is part of a database you have to worry about that but imagine if we just had those two databases what's your genetic makeup and how does this drug do for people with your genetic makeup and you could get rid of something like 9% of all the injury that's huge that's huge so but think of all the different ways that AI could just make everything work better do you think you've ever taken a medication that didn't work well with the other medications you were taking and you just didn't know it probably probably and AI could help you with that so at the very least you should take a picture of all your pill bottles with AI and the next time you get a next time you get a Pres prescription and say I get a new prescription is it going to work well with all the ones I already have and by the way if you use chat GPT at the the highest level expensive one you can literally do that you could just put all your pill bottles in a row and just put it on video and just take a picture of all your pill bottles and say I'm going to add this pill uh my doctor said to add this one and it will tell you it'll tell you which ones don't work with other ones more so I think even then your doctor would I mean they're supposed to flag it but you can't expect them to know every interaction I've never seen a doctor look up uh an interaction while I was talking to him I wonder wonder if this system does that for him you know and my health care system is pretty well automated um so it might be that they if they just prescribe it maybe it puts up a warning I don't know I'm I'm kind of skeptical that it's already built into the system but it could be could be big meanwhile demo Tim wals uh he was at a some kind of event and he was urging Democrats to uh to get more serious about Dei and immigration he thinks that uh the problem was they didn't go hard enough on those things so he goes quote we'd let them Define the issue on immigration we'd let them Define the issue on Dei and we let them Define what woke is we got ourselves in this mess because we weren't bold enough to stand up and say you're damn right we're proud of these policies we're going to put them in and see and and we're going to execute them I think the only thing he executed were whatever was remaining of the democrat's chance of ever ever having a president again let's be serious is this the dumbest guy you've ever seen in your life Tim wals is just not smart he's just not smart so wow uh every time I see one of their you know leaders say something I just shake my head you know and keep in mind you I just want to give you some reference when I used to watch Bill Clinton talk I used to think wow he's really smart even if I didn't agree with him when I saw Obama talk I would say well at least you're very smart even if I didn't agree with them but when I see wallst or Jasmine Crockett I just think God you're dumb and I disagree with you that's a that's a tough combo to be dumb and wrong at the same time all right many of you may have seen Clips or watched uh uh Brett Bear on Fox News interiew uh Doge and Elon Musk and I got to say I was so impressed now here's something that I say all the time and it's because I'm a nerd but Fox News has the best producers if you look at that again just look how good the lighting is the set the makeup the hair the clothes the the physical setup and the whole thing they they're just so good at producing what they do they're they're the best in the industry by far so anyway the F so uh I've never seen I've never seen musk look so good you know maybe sometimes he's more tired or you know the lighting's bad or whatever but he looked great like he looked healthy and like completely in charge so that was great um but the other thing that I noticed is that musk is a talent stack guy meaning that whatever talents he has which are considerable of course uh he is continually adding to them and I believe that his close association with Trump is teaching him things about Communications and things about persuasion that is taking him to the next level because very few people can Master those domains as as well as let's say a technical domain um but if you look at if you look at uh musk today his ability to come up with a sentence you'll remember forever is it's almost trump-like I mean nobody can match Trump he's he's category by himself but you can see you can see the transfer of skill you can tell that he's impressed this is just me reading mins but you could tell that if he's normal he's he's impressed by Trump's ability to communicate and to control a crowd and to control a narrative and boy as he learned well so I watched a number of mostly I saw the clips I didn't see 100% of it but I was impressed completely about how how succinctly musk can explain an idea and you'll remember her forever I'll give you an example um he said that they're already finding or they're goal is to find four billions per day in savings and they're on track to be mostly done in 130 days which is what he's authorized for how how clean and simple is that and Brett Bear says well uh you know are you going to be doing reports and mus says um we're doing the actual savings so they're I mean they're reporting the savings but you don't need to report because every time they add another you know billion dollars or whatever the savings they put it on the website so you don't need a report because it's reported as it happens so that's a perfect answer the 4 billion per day I'll remember that if he had said something like you can imagine somebody who was bad at it saying well we're finding anything from1 to8 billion doll per day and you know we're we're we're hoping that that's enough no he tells you $4 billion per day for roughly 130 days is going to get to you we think a trillion dollars in savings which is 50% of the the deficit spending the other trillion Trump is going to handle with growth he we hope so that's perfect just communication wise absolutely perfect you could you could not improve on that it's so clean 4 billion a day 130 days to1 trillion I I'll never forget that um and then then they add the anecdotes imagine all the complicated things that doge is looking into and imagine if they tried to explain the complicated things you'd be like that sounds pretty complicated but you you go wild instead he gives the cleanest little anecdotal example to back up you know the numbers and he says that at one point nearly a billion dollars um was allocated I think per year for some company that would do a survey that apparently nobody needed or wanted there was no there didn't even seem to be any obvious uh customer for it a billion dollars year for one little survey that looked like it was done by a high school group a complete ripoff as far as we can tell now will you remember that 1 billion real easy to remember for one survey that looks like it was done by high school kids you'll remember that forever right that one's just perfect for communication so even and even having the uh I guess it was the other Doge leaders sitting behind him um that was great then the other thing he said and this is just perfect Genius of communication you know how the biggest problem with doge is hey you're using a chainsaw instead of a scalpel stop using the chainsaw when all of us smart people who are Democrats know you should be using a scalpel where's the scalpel so the way he handled that was he said that uh they're they're measuring everything twice if not Thrice before they cut so this old the old saying is you know measure twice cut once so he's moving away from the you know the scalpel chainsaw thing but he's he's letting you know that they're not making any Cuts unless they've measured twice if not Thrice do you notice that twice and Thrice rhyme who's that remind you of Johnny Cochran if the glove doesn't fit you must equit if the glove doesn't fit you must equit we'll measure it twice if not Thrice it is a a well-known persuasion fact that if something Rhymes it's more persuasive when California tried to get people to wear uh seat belts and they told them they were going to get a a ticket unless they did the the uh campaign was click it or tick it basically click your your seat belt where you get a ticket it click it or tick it if the glove doesn't fit you must equit we're measuring it twice if not Thrice perfect perfect now if he had said and I would have made made this mistake I think if he would have said you know but sometimes you need a chainsaw that might be true it might be it might be smart but it would not be the right answer for communicating to the public what the public wants to hear and the only thing they want to hear is I'm going to measure it twice if not Thrice so what I saw was a absolute lesson on how to be perfect that was from from the producers of the show to Brett Bear's questions which were excellent he's always excellent in that domain to musk specific answers to the people who were the head of Doge sitting behind him and backing him up with answers every part of that was the highest quality you'll ever see for something like this it was really really impressive anyway moving on uh according to the Wall Street Journal uh billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on duplicate Medicaid payments and mus has already said that Doge will fix that now how did that happen the daily wire is talking about it but I think Wall Street Journal did the original uh investigation and what they found was there are a number of cases where people should have been reimbursed by their insurance company um and or I guess Medicaid was going to pay the insurance company but then they moved and so the systems were not clever enough to pick up the fact that it was the same person but at a different address so apparently these big insurance companies the biggest ones in the country health insurance were receiving two payments for a whole bunch of people if they had moved during some certain time and the the dollar amounts were massive um totaling up to at least $4.3 billion $4.3 billion that went to insurance companies from the government it didn't go to the individuals so it wasn't like that none of the people involved were involved in fraud so they didn't break any laws they just moved and so United Health remember United Health I'm not going to say it I'm not going to say it I'm just going to say United Health was one of them uh elevant Els or elant health and senteni I don't know any of those they received hundreds of millions of dollars each in duplicate payments you know what this story doesn't include it doesn't include that those insurance companies are going to pay back the taxpayers who are owed that money are they it's such massive amounts that it probably would eliminate their profit for a year or two I don't know what their profits are but don't they have to pay that back because nobody's arguing that they were owed the payment it it seems like it's easy to demonstrate that these were duplicate payments so where's our check uh if feels to me we should be clawing that all back um if it's possible well here's an update on uh Katherine Katherine marah the CEO of NBR um I picked up on this yesterday but Brit Brit Hume had a take on it on X he says uh when you read or hear about NPR Chief Katherine Maher being grilled about her hard left views as expressed on Twitter in 2020 remember that's five years ago remember it was three years after those tweets that she was made head of NPR so did NPR know what her views were because she claims now that they're different that her views have evolved in five years but do you know what Katherine Mah calls five years she calls it half a decade I was listening to her being uh grilled by the Congress and when she said but you you know that was half a decade ago half a decade that's 5 years how many people have a complete transformation of political opinion in five years and it's not on one topic like I I could see how somebody would say oh I used to believe in this hoax but I found out blah blah blah but how do you have a a total revamp of your political opinions from crazy far left to something more moderate in half a decade half a decade you lying whatever um here's something I didn't know I had to look it up 1 to 3% of their funding comes from the government so I don't really care about this too much one to three% of their funding it it seems like we should just yank the funding because 1 to 3% is something that can certainly handle and why am I paying for any of this then Christopher rufo on X reminds us he says don't forget the nprc CEO Katherine Mah is also the board chairman of signal she's the board chairman of signal come on are we living in a simulation how's that even possible the only thing that could be weirder is if she were like the daughter of Judge bosberg she's not by the way but it's the only thing that would make this weird and then uh rufo goes on and says and she spent a decade working on regime change operations in the Middle East and North Africa now I don't think anybody has had a more uh a more obvious connection to the CIA than she has now it's not I can't confirm that I don't have proof of that but uh all of this from being CEO of NPR to being on the chairman of the board of signal to being working on regime change operations in the Middle East and North Africa what does that sound like to you does that sound like just a bunch of coincidences sometimes things are just what you think well the uh one of the biggest Tesla domestic terrorists has been caught uh in Las Vegas I guess police made an arrest it was the the guy who did the most uh elaborate domestic violence he's the one who set on fire multiple cars at a uh I guess it was a um it was a Tesla facility for repair I think collision repair and used a gun he fired some shots and used some Molotov cocktails and of course he has a history of being he's 36 years old has a history of being associated with the Communist party and anything everything else is bad anyway he was booked on 15 counts he could get up to 20 years in prison uh also a woman seen keying at Tesla in Washington has been identified she's in trouble also that 450 lb guy who was on some kind of a scooter thing and ramming the side of a car he's been easily identified and that's not a complete list how many of the domestic terrorists have now been completely identified because I feel like we'll get just about all of them you know the ones that showed their faces so um it looks like the world is starting to get Back in Balance meaning that um as long as there's a continual drip of the domestic terrorists getting serious jail sentences um maybe it'll decrease you know maybe the Democrats will get tired of it I don't know maybe they'll run out of crazy people I saw a post by Insurrection Barbie who was a great follow by the way if you're not following on X Insurrection Barbie you're missing a lot of great content um but Insurrection Barbie says the entire resistance to Donald Trump is made up of like 300 super connected Democrats and a bunch of paid protesters easy to realize why they lost election and why they're continuously bleeding voters um but this is your daily reminder that 300 powerful Democrats and their NGO are trying to hold the country hostage and I think Keon musk agreed with that estimate that there are about 300 highly connected Democrats who are pretending to be de the Democrats basically they're the ones in charge that that number completely agrees with my understanding of the world about 300 and of course within the 300 there would be you know 50 who are super important and maybe you know 10 who are head of the pyramid but we do see the same names don't we it feels like you know if there's something terrible happening you know lawfare or something else it feels like the same set of people just keep popping up over and over again so yeah it's about 300 they just act like they're more so Trump wants an investigation of how it is possible according to the Washington Times uh that uh he keeps getting bad judges by chance so apparently these DC judges should be assigned randomly they've got some kind of wheel they spend uh but yet this judge bosberg who is uh let's say the Trump supporters think he's been highly biased and uh has conflicts they would say um he was nominated by Barack Obama Etc and that somehow amazingly he got this newest case about the signal appp and whether that has to do with uh possibility of any federal records being destroyed because the app automatically deletes things so what are the odds that he would be chosen yet again for another Trump related case Well turns out um as the Washington Times reports and this is good reporting by the way I didn't know that there are 20 so if you were going to say how does this one guy get four of these Trump cases when it's one and a 20 every time well it would help if you knew that there um there's another judge G Cobb who has at least 10 Trump related cases but I've never heard that name have you judge Cobb how could one judge have 10 Trump Rel cases and I've never heard the name my guess is that there are 10 cases that aren't that important and there are three other judges that have six each uh two of them have five each and several judges have four well the first thing you need to know is that there are so many of these lawfare situations against Trump that if you only have 20 judges they're all going to get half a dozen because even if you did it randomly they're just so many judges that they're they're just all going to come up half a dozen times that's exactly what's happening um but I don't believe it's random here's what I think I think it depends who filed the lawsuit I think if one of the 300 which is really one of a half dozen I think there are some lawyers that if they're involved they seem to get the right judge I don't think that it's a coincidence that judge Cobb has 10 cases and I've never heard that name they can't be the important ones so I've got a feeling it's not random even though a lot of people have a lot of cases um so Trump according also according to the Washington Times Jeff moro's writing about this uh Trump is stripping security clearance from yet another Law Firm um what is it Wilmer haale it's a high-powered Washington law firm and they had once employed special counselor Robert Mueller and this is what the the executive order Banning them from uh working on government stuff says it says that the law firm has abandon the profession's highest ideals and abused its pro bono practice to engage in activities that undermine the justice and interest of the United States and I gives some examples um it supported efforts to discriminate based on race uh I assume that means Dei stuff backs the obstruction of efforts to prevent illegal aliens from committing horrific crimes and trafficking deadly drugs within our border and furthers a degradation of the quality of American elections including supporting efforts designed to enable noncitizens to vote here's my problem that's sort of the job of lawyers lawyers don't just represent innocent people who are angels our system completely depends on qualified lawyers also taking cases that you and I hate and say why you doing that why you doing that pro bono thing for these terrible people so to me this looks like lawfare and remember I said from the beginning I've told you if if it looks like lawfare to me I'm going to call it out it's a little hard to be a team player and be in favor of lawfare however I'm going to soften it a little bit because there's so much lawfare against the president that is completely out of out of the norm that this looks like a brush back pitch to me as in if I keep getting lawed I'm going to take you all down and even if I lose every one of these in some upper Court I'm going to make sure you're spending all your time wasting your time trying to fight this because you all suck and you're all political and you can pretend that you're just helping your clients but you're obviously just a lawfare organ of the Democrats and we have a completely broken system where the lawyers are trying to basically run the whole Country Now under those conditions I'm okay with law fair because the law fair is a brushback pitch I'm not in favor of going to a baseball game and watching the pitcher throw unlimited pitches at the head of the opposing batter no I don't want to watch that but if that team does something really messed up and the Pitcher decides to put one right into the body of the batter you understand that don't you you understand that they're they're trying to get balance back now you might not love it because it's violent I'm not recommending it but we do see that in the real world if you don't have mutually assured destruction everything falls apart so if you look at it as just law fair it's bad but if you look at it as a response to lawfare which is what it is it's a response response to lawfare if they laware them back just as hard um that is establishing mutually assured destruction and it may have more to do with suppressing the next thing they do than it does with you know addressing anything in the past so I'm in favor of it I I'm in favor of it and I think it's lawfare and I think it's appropriate um according to bre Bart news Simon Kent is writing that uh Trump Administration is going to suspend contributions to the WTO the World Trade Organization so I had to look up what the heck does the World Trade Organization do what it does is allegedly uh at least up till now it has opened markets to 160 different countries and lowered tariffs and made it easier to dispute trade problems across borders and basically greased the wheels to make it easier for every country to do business with every other country so you might ask why do we want to suspend our contribution to that and I think the answer is because if your organization is trying to find a middle ground where everybody's happy it's not America first um it could be well let's let's make sure that you know China and the United States are both you know kind of Happy Happ but kind of unhappy but maybe we could have done a better deal so I don't know if this will work out or not work out but the idea that we can handle our own tariffs and our own disputes and we've got enough um Market muscle to say look if you don't handle this dispute we're just not going to do business with you or we're going to tear off the beesa S of you so tentatively this looks like a good idea because they're not the the WTO is not meant to be America first so maybe we can do better on our own we'll see that wouldn't be true for smaller countries I suppose but for America maybe well as you know this story you've heard before that Jasmine Crockett called the governor Abbott of Texas governor Hot Wheels because abits in a wheelchair and this of course caus the Democrats to bring up the uh what they probably think is true by the way um but it's a hoax that Trump ever mocked a reporter who had a disability with an arm now um I saw Brendan straa doing a great job of debunking that I've seen you know the debunk America doing a great job at debunking it's the most thoroughly debunked thing and it's easy to debunk because um you can show the video from before the incident with the reporter where he would do the same action when he was talking about anybody who couldn't answer a question or anybody who was doing a bad job communicating basically it was his way of mocking them um so i' but you also know that Jasmine Crockett tried to explain her comment as not really being about the wheelchair and that the Hot Wheels comment was something about transporting immigrants or something so without further Ado I would like to do my impression of Jasmine Crockett trying to explain why she called Governor Abbott Hot Wheels but it really didn't have anything to do with his uh his disability and this is Jasmine Crockett whoa whoa who see how that works all right um I saw Sabine Hassen Felder on X she's a German physicist saying she said I genuinely don't understand why some people are still bullish about llms the technology behind Ai and she talks about how she's used a bunch of the AIS and she's doing it for her work in s sence and that it often gives her um sources that don't exist or there's a 404 error um it'll tell her that a document that says 2025 on it is from 2023 so she has to continually fact check the ai's work and it just looks kind of limited to her and wonders why people are so so enthusiastic about his future now I've said similar things and people's response to me and to other people who have had this experience they say you you just don't understand how um you don't understand how what is it um oh what's the word don't understand how exponential improvements work so the smartest people who like AI are saying Scott Scott Scott you're so dumb uh let me explain how the world Works can I um AI is not supposed to be the best it will ever be today it's going to get better like really fast and there's going to be this exponential growth that's going to happen any minute now and when that kicks in you're going to look like such a fool oh man a fool because you don't understand how exponential growth works yeah it seems slow slow slow slow but then when it kicks in boom and that's why you're not seeing because you're not you know you don't understand technology like we do to which I say have you ever heard of Moore's law about the microchips getting better every year it's a straight line no exponential period have you ever heard of a thing called Fusion nuclear fusion that was first um proposed and worked on 93 years ago 93 years still waiting for the exponential growth part 93 years what about airline travel I'm waiting for the exponential growth in that because since I was a child it's been largely the same and the planes don't even change they're like 40 years old yeah so we got that um so what else we got um what about batteries I'm always talking about all these breakthroughs and batteries now that's a case where I think there will be an exponential growth and the reason is that there are people all over the world who know know there's enormous money to be made in making a better battery enormous so you got all kinds of people the best people working on it all over the world and they're trying different Technologies so if you have the best people all over the world and giant money involved and working on different Technologies the odds of one of them being 10 times as good as the old one are pretty good so if if you said to me Scott don't you know that batteries you know may be chugging along for a while but once we get you know we get to a certain point man those batteries are going to be amazing I would believe that one I believe that one it's just that not everything can turn into everything else what about smartphones so our smartphones kind of came kind of awesome because they're smartphones but how different is your current smartphone from the last one I feel like smartphones sort of peak I I'm waiting for that exponential growth but I don't think it's coming with smartphones probably some other technology so here's what I think um I used AI five times already this morning mostly grock it was great because that's how I know that Fusion has been worked on for 93 years I just asked grock and uh that's how I knew what the w UT does I ask Rock So if you're a writer or you're working in this kind of world this podcasting world and you're trying to get context and you're trying to get you know an understanding of a new topic quickly oh it is great it is great so in some professions and Bill Gates was saying that uh medical profession legal profession some other ones we're going to see AI takeover and I believe that so I'm very Pro AI it's just that I don't think the current technology the large language models are ever going to help Sabine do her science stuff because you can't rely on it being right it might be that you always have to fact check the facts if you're doing science stuff the the stuff I do I could get a fact wrong and it wouldn't nobody would die you know tomorrow's somebody would say um on the show yesterday you said Fusion's been around 93 years but really it's 50 I'd say oh okay so it works great whenever you're in a domain where if something's wrong it's not the biggest problem in the world but do you think an llm will ever become the pilot of your commercial aircraft I'm going to say no do you think llm will be good enough to be the robot that can do generic tasks and you just have to show it or teach it I'm skeptical because you wouldn't want a robot in your house that was lossy meaning that you couldn't you couldn't know exactly what was going to happen so I'm going to say that uh the llms have amazing potential for a whole bunch of different things but we're going to need to invent a whole different kind of thing for this you know the artificial general intelligence the one that thinks like we do and is less lossy that's what I think anyway the Gateway uh Gateway Punda is reporting on my idea of creating the department of imaginary concerns to handle all the fake Democrat problems Mike Lance wrote about this and uh if you hadn't heard about that the idea is that Democrats have a whole bunch of imaginary problems everything from climate crisis to um Russia collusion the signal controversy uh Elon mus stealing your social security numbers like just a whole bunch of fake stuff uh Trump's going to become Hitler um he's Putin's best friend all that stuff so you just put that in the um the department of imaginary concerns now the reason I brought it up is I want to give you a very quick um persuasion lesson a few people said hey don't call it the department of imaginary concerns call it the imaginary problems or the imaginary policies or something like that the word concerns is what made this viral so that's the actually the active word so if you didn't understand persuasion you would say hm concerns is too generic or it's off it's off point or something if you do understand it you know that that's the word that sold it when you see concerns it tells you that somebody's concerned as opposed to it's a problem or or anything in the real world and it's a non-standard word in this domain you wouldn't expect to see the word concerns in the name of a title of a department so it's the mistake or isn't the mistake that makes it do that makes it viral so that's what made it sticky meanwhile zinsky is uh self ulating so he launched according to the National pulse Christopher tomson he uh he's attacking Trump's team um and he said the following stuff he said the he said that the uh that Europe unlike the United States has discipline and no chaos chaos who says the United States has chaos Democrats right have you ever heard a republican say oh we got a bunch of chaos nope it's just a Democrat thing and now zilinsky is taking that that approach and he says Europe good us chaos and then he accused uh uh witkoff um he said uh I can't be ungrateful to the Americans for everything they did but they are often unfortunately under the influence of Russian narratives and then he said then he went off on wickoff and he says he doesn't look like a military man he doesn't look like a general and he doesn't have such experience as far as I know he is very good at selling and buying real estate and this is a little different um well zalinski good luck because America's out you you just made it impossible to get peace in Ukraine with America's help a apparently he really wants a permanent war and Europe's on his team and I say good luck guys good luck um you can fight Russia all day long but there's no freaking way after you've insulted wickoff and Trump that you're going to get what you want from the United States you just close that door you idiot or maybe he knows exactly what he's doing but there's no reason for us to be involved anymore he made it easy to walk away um and then he said that he's rejecting any idea for a peace deal that would involve uh that would not involve Russia giving back all the territory that they've conquered including Crimea now given that we know there's no way that's ever going to happen has he just slam the door shut on any kind of a peace deal and America being productive in any of it he has the door shut so I don't care what the news is tomorrow or the next day I don't care if he changes his mind I don't care if he apologizes it's over I'm going to call it we're out now the United States has not said that Trump has not said that I don't think he's commented exactly but I feel pretty confident that this just ended the productive relationship with the United States of UK gra we're definitely not going to be helping them defend themselves um at this point now something could change I suppose but I think we're done but at the same time and this is fascinating um Jack bobc of human events was talking to Scott bessent and Scott bent says that they've got 100 page Ukraine deal about the minerals not about peace but about minerals that he hopes will will be get signed next week now it is possible that we could make a mineral deal it's not impossible because the mineral deal would not be promising anything about security it would just be a way for them to make money and for us to make money so they might say yes to making money because they need money to fight their war and from our perspective it might give them a little what uh besten not a security guarantee but it is an economic security PCT now I'm not so sure the United States would want to get involved in some place that didn't have good defense against Russia coming in and taking the rest of the country so I don't know if we can actually get private companies to do the work because that would be a pretty big risk but if it works that'd be great but I I think in terms of the US funding Ukraine's military Adventure I think that's over I think we're done with that meanwhile the Greenland trip is getting spicy you knew that JD Vance and his wife were going over there but here's the funny part apparently um the the Mike walz was always uh intended to be part of the trip but they had forgotten about him uh when they did the the notice so National Security advisor Mike walls will also be attending the trip all I can hope is they don't accidentally invite Jeffrey Goldberg on the trip that's a call back yeah okay can you imagine them being on the plane and they look over and it's like oh my God and Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally invited on the trip all right that's all I got for you thanks for thanks for putting up with me uh that's all I've got for today I'm going to talk to the local subscribers privately for a minute the rest of you make sure you come back tomorrow same time same place we'll have some more fun so if you're on exra rumble or You.

Tube I appreciate you joining and I'll see you tomorrow locals I'll be coming at you privately e e e e

come on in we're almost ready for the

show you

deserve well I think you deserve it do

you yeah yeah I think you do you've been

good all right let's check the stocks

uh well not so good all right forget

about that there'll be better

later but I got to call up my comments

here make sure

everybody's on

board there we

go boy there's a lot of news today so

much news oh my

goodness good morning everybody and

welcome to the highlight of human

civilization it's called coffee with

Scott Adams 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 m glass of tanker Shel din the

Cante juger flask a vessel of any kind

fill it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure of the dopamine hit

of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens right

now yes exactly go

fully recharged I'm at working at full

strength

today we got news we're going to pound

right through it you ready for this

happy Friday by the

way let's see is there any new science

that they could have completely skipped

just by asking Scott oh yeah here's one

the University of South Australia found

out that

um being happy in your career doesn't

make you happy in life but being happy

in general in your life can make you

enjoy your career that you have

more um they could have just ask me yes

it's called Baseline happiness and if

you're happy in general everything else

in your life looks

better how how many of you didn't know

that was there anybody who thought you

know if I were depressed but I got a

better job I'll bet that would cheer me

up no doesn't work that way if you're

happy then even your crap job seems

pretty good to you and if you're

unhappy it doesn't matter how good your

job is you're still going to be unhappy

so just ask me next time I could have

cleared that up saved you a lot of

money well according to Marine Insight

publication uh over in Germany there's

this revolutionary new Wastewater

processing plant it's a Wastewater

processing plant and what's

revolutionary is that they can convert

the Wastewater into methanol which I

guess is kind of climate neutral and you

can use that for marine

fuels now I wonder if there's anybody

who works on the Wastewater

project that would tell us that we live

in a simulation let's see um the waste

water is being explained by Dr wizzing

WSS iing whizzing so Dr

whizzing can tell you about the waste

water um apparently Dr pooping was not

available he he's the number

two yep Dr whizzing for

Wastewater okay okay all right all right

judge me you can judge me on that

one um this you knew was coming nextg

defense is reporting that Max our

intelligence they've developed a a

vision-based software that can make GPS

unnecessary for your drone so in other

words if your drone gets jammed and it

can't see the GPS signal it doesn't care

because maxar intelligence has this

these databases that are really detailed

uh they've got 3D terrain data for 34

million square miles so it can just

switch to or maybe it doesn't even need

GPS which means that there's practically

no defense against drones

now if your drone can't be jammed if you

can't Jam the

GPS uh that seems like a problem so you

yes uh as nval ravan said recently it's

really inevitable that all Warfare will

be drones because why would you need

anything

else it's all going to be

drones well if you haven't yet seen Ezra

Klein on John Stewart's

podcast oh you have to see this I so

recommend this so look for the clips if

you just see the clips you'll you'll see

everything you need to see but uh so

Ezra Klein is a co-author of the book

abundance and he's doing you know I have

to say my my first

impression was hey you're just writing a

book that says democrats should act more

like Republicans if they want to win

anything so I wasn't sure it was adding

much to the

world but now I think it is so I'm going

to I'm going to switch to full

compliment to Ezra Klein and I guess

Derek Thompson the two co-authors so the

the thing that was amazing is that um uh

you know you've heard Ezra Klein talk

about how the Democrats uh are good at

funding impressive things but then for

reasons that I didn't quite understand

nothing got done so there was the

funding of the highspeed rail in

California that didn't get done there

was the funding of the um the rural

Broadband inter that didn't get done

there was the funding of the Nationwide

charging stations that didn't get done

all good ideas in theory but all they

could do is give them money and not get

anything

done and if you wonder why it is then

nothing gets done you just have to you

just have to here as reclin go through

the 14 steps it would have taken to

approve the just the

the project for the car charging

stations oh my God I'm not going to run

through the 14 because it's pretty

pedantic but you have to watch John

Stewart for the first time understanding

how completely doomed the Democrat way

of work is because the regulations are

mostly I'm thinking mostly Democrat

created and if you looked at any one of

them individually you'd probably say to

yourself all right well I could see why

you'd want this group to review

it or I could see why you'd want to run

it through this group for

approval but once you get to 14

different steps and everybody's got to

review it and analyze it and they got

time for comment it becomes literally

impossible so it's not just that it

didn't happen it's that the system was

impossible so anybody who tried to apply

to you know be one of the people who

executed on these funded um projects

couldn't get through it it would take

you the rest of your life if you got

through it at all so there is no

way to actually

execute on these uh well-meaning

Democrat gigantic

projects there is no way now what is it

I always say about the difference

between Republicans and

Democrats Democrats are really good at

goals highspeed rail that's a goal I

like it uh rural internet Broadband I

like it uh a

nationwide uh charging stations for

electric cars sounds pretty good those

are good goals I like it but they also

developed a system that made it

impossible now let's compare that to the

Republicans Republicans would say get

rid of all these uh this red

tape and then it

works that's it so the Republicans have

a

system which is in general get rid of

the red tape now beyond that if you got

rid of enough red tape maybe you don't

even need much government funding maybe

maybe the private sector can do it but

the Republicans

consistently have

systems that would work and the

Democrats consistently have pretty good

goals we'd like everybody to do well

we'd like the schools to do well take

take uh public

education the Democrats have a very good

goal that uh no matter what your income

is or what your situation is in life you

should get a good education and the

government government can help you on

that but then they overlay it with you

know the the the the Department of

Education which was a problem they

overlay it with the teachers union and

you very quickly get to the point where

the system for providing that thing

which is a good it just doesn't work and

that's what we observe scores are going

down in every way the uh whereas the

Republicans would say well nothing works

unless there's competition so let's make

sure there's a lot more competition for

private schools or alternative schools

so again in every domain it's the same

Democrats good on goals don't have a

systems let's check check in on

Dei

um Charlie Kirk has a post where he's

talking about daily wire Story by uh

Luke rosak I guess he did a great job on

this and the story is about uh a group

called The National diversity Council

now remember I tell you that it it turns

out that you can tell all the fraudulent

organizations because they string

together words that sound good so

instead of the national diversity

Council it could have been the American

Ferness

initiative you can just put any words

together the Freedom diversity

Association and then you start getting

money well one of the founders uh Dennis

Kennedy allegedly paid himself

$450,000 a year for 10 hours of work a

week but then in 2022 allegedly at the

peak of Dei

Mania uh he and a few other Executives

decided that they really owed another $3

million in back pay uh and so they

looted the organization is the

accusation and now the now the

organization is filing for

bankruptcy with the board saying that

Kennedy systematically looted it by

funling its assets to an to a for-profit

firm controlled by himself does that

sound

familiar that's exactly what we were

finding out with all the

NGS if the NGO gets a lot of funding

let's say from the government could be

private donations

uh then the first thing they'll do is

say here's how we're spending that money

we're going to hire this for-profit

entity that just happens to be my wife

or just happens to be me with another

name and we're not going to have any

accounting so that it's not as obvious

what we're doing it's the same

scam everywhere and once you realize the

pattern you can just pick it up

instantly it's like oh you got a bunch

of money you gave yourself a generic

name like the national diversity Council

and uh you can protect yourself by

accusing any of your critics of being

racists ah see that's

important because if you don't have an

audit process and you're planning to

loot the organization you want to make

sure that if anybody blames you of

anything you could say oh my God what

are you some kind of white supremacist

who hates who hates diversity

don't you see that diversity is in the

name of our

organization of course it's good because

it says diversity right in it it's right

in the name you

racist I think we're on to it now I

think we can spot these a little

easier well Mario nul is reporting that

uh Trump has threatened to defund the

Smithsonian over what he calls divisive

narratives and he's ordered JD Vance to

go clean house whatever that means and

what he wants to do is remove what he

calls improper ideology or El to lose

Federal funding and he accuses the

Museum of pushing a decades long effort

to rewrite US history with distorted

ideological narratives instead of

facts so they're going to have to get

rid of all the divisive content or else

the government won't fund them

anymore

and to me um I I can see why they're

doing it I'm sure it's a good idea but

history has always been fake so when you

take one version of fake history and

somebody's trying to rewrite it to

another version of fake

history it doesn't make it more accurate

but there is a version of History that's

better for the

country and if you're deciding to change

the history to white people suck now I

haven't seen what the smithsonia is up

to but I'm just going to take a WI wild

guess that what they're saying is that

white people are the problem they killed

all the Native Americans they created

all the slavery they stole all the money

and white people are bad just a guess I

I don't have any information that that's

what this Smithsonian was doing but what

do you

think what else would it be so yeah it's

very very damaging to have a fake

history that says the people who live

here today are part of the problem you

don't want that so it is better even if

it's fake history to say that your

country was awesome and you're still

awesome it's

better well here's a story that really

sounds great for America just listen to

this according to interesting

engineering uh an enormous um massive

lithium deposits have been discovered in

the

us uh worth $540 billion so much that it

would vastly reduce China's grip on the

United States for lithium so I I'm

reading this I'm like wow $540 billion

worth of lithium and it seems to be

accessible isn't that the greatest story

the only thing that could be bad about

this is if it's in

California don't be in California please

don't be in California please please

don't be in Cali

California it's in

California uh beneath the surface of the

sultan

sea so I guess the value is not 540

billion it would be closer

to uh let me call up Ezra Klein uh Ezra

uh there's $540 billion worth of lithium

in California under the sultan sea do

you think we can okay calm down Ezra

calm down

okay yeah I I know we'll never get it

yeah I know 14

steps okay we'll just leave it there

never mind thank you

goodbye yeah that's a complete waste of

time because it's in California I'd love

to be wrong I would love to be wrong but

no it's worth nothing because it's in

California that's all you need to

know uh Trump has floated the idea of

May be easing off on tariffs according

to Reuters um on China if China approves

the sale of tick tock to an American

entity what do you think of that idea

going easy on tariffs on China if they

approve a ticktock deal here's the

problem that would be transferring

wealth from um from the citizens of the

United States

to the rich people in the United States

who bought Tik Tock so the benefactors

would be the billionaires who buy

tiktock and that would be paid for

partly by money that would have

otherwise gone into the

treasury so how is Trump going to did he

think this

through now I'm not saying it's a bad

idea by the way what I'm saying is how

do you sell it because it's it's total

oligarch

friendly citizen unfriendly American

last I mean to me it looks like it'd be

kind of good for

China uh and good for a few oligarchs

who buy it who were his

buddies and I don't see how you sell

this thing now I will give you one

possibility one of the things that Trump

said was that the US

government if it's being helpful and

making the deal happen should get a

percentage of tick tock oh now that was

not part of this story but remember

Trump has floated that idea and he was

serious about it and it makes sense if

the government is doing something

important to make a private investment

worth something from zero to maybe be

worth a trillion dollars someday why

don't we get a piece of it if you give

me a piece of it meaning the citizens

I'm all in yeah if you say we're going

to reduce tariffs a little bit on China

um to get this deal done but in the end

the United States let's say our

Sovereign fund you know we I think we're

going to have trouble funding The

Sovereign fund there's some some

technical reason why the Sovereign fund

might be in Jeopardy um but this seems

like a perfect use for for a sovereign

fund where we invest literally

zero and we get a percentage of take

out I I'd be happy with more of that so

if if Trump combines two things he's

floated one is the reduction of tariffs

get the deal done and the other is us

gets a piece of the deal you can sell

that that that would be

sellable all well um the the house is is

uh according to just the news the house

passed a legislation to keep foreign

influence and of higher education called

the deterrent

act and uh let's see what it does it

mandates that schools have to report

foreign

gifts uh I think this is mostly

universities and colleges have to report

foreign gifts or at least $50,000 or

more and they have to report it to

the checking notes they have to report

that to the

Department of

Education

huh do do you see anything see any

problem with the

legislation because the Department of

Education is being

closed don't they need to update

[Laughter]

that I swear I don't even know what I'm

reading at this point is this true

did did they just

yesterday the Republicans this would

only be through the house not the Senate

but did they really just passed some

legislation in the house that says

somebody has to report to the Department

of no longer

existing there must be something wrong

with the

story but maybe

not well RFK Jr who I thought was being

a little bit

quiet you know until he got his SE legs

and figured out what was what but boy

he's not quiet now um I saw Wall Street

Apes had a video I couldn't tell how old

it was but he was talking how uh Black

Rock owns all of the Meat Packers in the

United States there are only four uh big

companies but Black Rock owns them

all and they um according to RFK they

also own a lot of the big Pharma

now I don't know if own is the

right description they might own a

percentage but does Black Rock own a

controlling interest in

Pharma because that would be something

I'd never heard before I definitely knew

that they were heavily invested in

everything that matters you know pretty

much every industry that matters but a

controlling interest I don't know and do

they have a controlling interest or

already own the Meat Packers so I have

some questions about that but that's

something RFK jun's bringing up seems

important to

me um then he also reported that uh some

of the career civil servant bureaucrats

were keeping RFK Jr from accessing

databases uh that would have information

about risks and dangers of certain drugs

and medical

interventions can you imagine that

and RV JR says that that these

bureaucrats are seemingly only serving

the industries they were supposed to

regulate so everything that RFK Jr has

been telling us before he got the job

you know to be in charge of all this

stuff it looks like it's all true it

looks like these are

completely broken industries that are

just serving the uh the Pharma the far

industries that it just seems broken

entirely um but uh RFK junor was on

Chris Cuomo show in news nation and he

said the CDC so that would be under him

is launching a new sub agency to

specialize in vaccine

injuries um so that should make you

happy now he's very careful about the

fact that you know it's not going to be

based on the hearsay or anecdote they're

going to look into it with the you know

the best gold standard science that they

can which has not been applied to this

question yet so if the only thing he

does is apply the best science to it

even if it finds out that the vaccines

weren't as bad as you

thought you're going to be a lot happier

now I think most of you are expecting to

find out that the vaccinations various

ones not just not just Co uh but I think

you expect at least this audience does

that it's going to find out that they

were much more dangerous than you

thought so but either way we need to

know we need to know I'm open to the

fact that it might go either way um but

we definitely need to know it's it's

right at the top of things we should be

caring about and then uh RFK Jr was talk

about Elon Musk using AI to improve

health and efficiency and improve

delivery so he said they've had a bunch

of geniuses come over to RFK Jr's domain

to try to figure out how to do that can

you

imagine how much money could be driven

out of health care if you only knew what

worked and what

doesn't separately I saw another story I

didn't I didn't write this one down um

about how there's a a large number of

complications with medication

that are very specific to your genetic

makeup so if you could of course there's

a problem you know anytime your your

genetic makeup is part of a database you

have to worry about that but imagine if

we just had those two databases what's

your genetic makeup and how does this

drug do for people with your genetic

makeup and you could get rid of

something like 9% of all the

injury that's huge that's huge

so but think of all the different

ways that AI could just make everything

work better do you think you've ever

taken a

medication that didn't work well with

the other medications you were taking

and you just didn't know it probably

probably and AI could help you with that

so at the very least you should take a

picture of all your pill bottles with AI

and the next time you get a next time

you get a Pres prescription and say I

get a new prescription is it going to

work well with all the ones I already

have and by the way if you use chat GPT

at the the highest level expensive one

you can literally do that you could just

put all your pill bottles in a row and

just put it on video and just take a

picture of all your pill bottles and say

I'm going to add this pill uh my doctor

said to add this one and it will tell

you it'll tell you which ones don't work

with other ones more so I think even

then your doctor would I mean they're

supposed to flag it but you can't expect

them to know every

interaction I've never seen a doctor

look

up uh an interaction while I was talking

to him I wonder wonder if this system

does that for him you know and my health

care system is pretty well

automated um so it might be that they if

they just prescribe it maybe it puts up

a warning I don't know I'm I'm kind of

skeptical that it's already built into

the system but it could be could be big

meanwhile demo Tim

wals uh he was at a some kind of event

and he was urging Democrats to uh to get

more serious about Dei and immigration

he thinks that uh the problem was they

didn't go hard enough on those things so

he goes quote we'd let them Define the

issue on immigration we'd let them

Define the issue on Dei and we let them

Define what woke is we got ourselves in

this mess because we weren't bold enough

to stand up and say you're damn right

we're proud of these policies we're

going to put them in and see and and

we're going to execute

them I think the only thing he executed

were whatever was remaining of the

democrat's chance of

ever ever having a president

again let's be serious is this the

dumbest guy you've ever seen in

your life Tim wals is just not smart

he's just not smart so wow uh every time

I see one of their you know leaders say

something I just shake my head you know

and keep in mind you I just want to give

you some reference when I used to watch

Bill Clinton talk I used to think wow

he's really smart even if I didn't agree

with him when I saw Obama talk I would

say well at least you're very smart even

if I didn't agree with them but when I

see wallst or Jasmine Crockett I just

think God you're

dumb and I disagree with

you that's a that's a tough combo to be

dumb and wrong at the same

time all right many of you may have seen

Clips or watched uh uh Brett Bear on Fox

News interiew uh Doge and Elon Musk and

I got to say I was so impressed now

here's something that I say all the time

and it's because I'm a nerd but Fox News

has the best

producers if you look at that again just

look how good the lighting is the set

the

makeup the hair the

clothes the the physical setup and the

whole thing they they're just so good at

producing what they do they're they're

the best in the industry by

far so anyway the F so uh I've never

seen I've never seen musk look so good

you know maybe sometimes he's more tired

or you know the lighting's bad or

whatever but he looked great like he

looked healthy and like completely in

charge so that was great um but the

other thing that I noticed is that

musk is a talent stack guy meaning that

whatever talents he has which are

considerable of course uh he is

continually adding to them and I believe

that his close association with Trump is

teaching him things about Communications

and things about

persuasion that is taking him to the

next level because very few people can

Master those domains as as well as let's

say a technical domain um but if you

look at if you look at uh musk today his

ability to come up with a sentence

you'll remember forever is it's almost

trump-like I mean nobody can match Trump

he's he's category by himself but you

can see you can see the transfer of

skill you can tell that he's impressed

this is just me reading mins but you

could tell that if he's normal he's he's

impressed by Trump's ability to

communicate and to control a crowd and

to control a narrative and boy as he

learned well so I watched a number of

mostly I saw the clips I didn't see 100%

of it but I was impressed completely

about how how

succinctly musk can explain an idea and

you'll remember her forever I'll give

you an example um he said that they're

already finding or they're goal is to

find four billions per day in savings

and they're on track to be mostly done

in 130 days which is what he's

authorized

for how how clean and simple is that and

Brett Bear says well uh you know are you

going to be doing reports and mus says

um we're doing the actual

savings so they're I mean they're

reporting the savings but you don't need

to report

because every time they add another you

know billion dollars or whatever the

savings they put it on the website

so you don't need a report because it's

reported as it happens so that's a

perfect

answer the 4 billion per day I'll

remember that if he had said something

like you can imagine somebody who was

bad at it saying well we're finding

anything from1 to8 billion doll per day

and you know we're we're we're hoping

that that's

enough no he tells you $4 billion per

day for roughly 130 days is going to get

to you we think a trillion dollars in

savings which is 50% of the the deficit

spending the other trillion Trump is

going to handle with growth he we

hope so that's perfect just

communication wise absolutely perfect

you could you could not improve on that

it's so clean 4 billion a day 130 days

to1

trillion I I'll never forget

that um and then then they add the

anecdotes imagine all the complicated

things that doge is looking into and

imagine if they tried to explain the

complicated things you'd be

like that sounds pretty complicated but

you you go

wild instead he gives the cleanest

little anecdotal example to back up you

know the numbers and he says that at one

point nearly a billion dollars um was

allocated I think per year for some

company that would do a survey that

apparently nobody needed or

wanted there was no there didn't even

seem to be any

obvious uh customer for it a billion

dollars year for one little

survey that looked like it was done by a

high school group a complete ripoff as

far as we can tell now will you remember

that 1 billion real easy to remember for

one survey that looks like it was done

by high school kids you'll remember that

forever right that one's just perfect

for

communication so even and even having

the uh I guess it was the other Doge

leaders sitting behind him um that was

great then the other thing he said and

this is just perfect Genius of

communication you know how the biggest

problem with doge is hey you're using a

chainsaw instead of a scalpel stop using

the chainsaw when all of us smart people

who are Democrats know you should be

using a scalpel where's the

scalpel so the way he handled that was

he said that uh they're they're

measuring everything twice if not

Thrice before they cut so this old the

old saying is you know measure twice cut

once so he's moving away from the you

know the scalpel chainsaw thing but he's

he's letting you know that they're not

making any Cuts unless they've measured

twice if not Thrice

do you notice that twice and Thrice

rhyme who's that remind you

of Johnny

Cochran if the glove doesn't fit you

must equit if the glove doesn't fit you

must equit we'll measure it twice if not

Thrice it is a a well-known persuasion

fact that if something Rhymes it's more

persuasive when California tried to get

people to wear uh seat belts and they

told them they were going to get a a

ticket unless they did the the uh

campaign was click it or tick it

basically click your your seat belt

where you get a ticket it click it or

tick it if the glove doesn't fit you

must equit we're measuring it twice if

not

Thrice

perfect perfect now if he had said and I

would have made made this mistake I

think if he would have said you know but

sometimes you need a

chainsaw that might be true it might be

it might be smart but it would not be

the right answer for communicating to

the public what the public wants to hear

and the only thing they want to hear is

I'm going to measure it

twice if not Thrice

so what I saw was a

absolute lesson on how to be

perfect that was from from the producers

of the show to Brett Bear's questions

which were excellent he's always

excellent in that domain to musk

specific answers to the people who were

the head of Doge sitting behind him and

backing him up with answers every part

of that was the highest quality you'll

ever see for something like this it was

really really

impressive

anyway moving on uh according to the

Wall Street Journal uh billions of

taxpayer dollars have been wasted on

duplicate Medicaid payments and mus has

already said that Doge will fix that now

how did that happen the daily wire is

talking about it but I think Wall Street

Journal did the original uh

investigation and what they found was

there are a number of cases where people

should have been reimbursed by their

insurance

company um and or I guess Medicaid was

going to pay the insurance company but

then they

moved and so the systems were not clever

enough to pick up the fact that it was

the same person but at a different

address so apparently these big

insurance companies the biggest ones in

the country health insurance were

receiving two

payments for a whole bunch of people if

they had moved during some certain time

and the the dollar amounts were

massive um totaling up to at least $4.3

billion $4.3

billion that went to insurance companies

from the government it didn't go to the

individuals so it wasn't like that none

of the people involved were involved in

fraud so they didn't break any laws they

just moved and so United Health remember

United

Health I'm not going to say

it I'm not going to say it I'm just

going to say United Health was one of

them uh elevant Els or elant health and

senteni I don't know any of those they

received hundreds of millions of dollars

each in duplicate payments you know what

this story doesn't

include it doesn't include that those

insurance companies are going to pay

back the taxpayers

who are owed that money are

they it's such massive amounts that it

probably would eliminate their profit

for a year or two I don't know what

their profits are but don't they have to

pay that back because nobody's arguing

that they were owed the

payment it it seems like it's easy to

demonstrate that these were duplicate

payments

so where's our

check uh if feels to me we should be

clawing that all back um if it's

possible well here's an update on uh

Katherine Katherine marah the CEO of

NBR um I picked up on this yesterday but

Brit Brit Hume had a take on it on X he

says uh when you read or hear about NPR

Chief Katherine Maher being grilled

about her hard left views as expressed

on Twitter in 2020 remember that's five

years ago remember it was three years

after those tweets that she was made

head of NPR so did NPR know what her

views were because she claims now that

they're different that her views have

evolved in five years but do you know

what Katherine Mah calls five

years she calls it half a

decade I was listening to her being uh

grilled by the Congress and when she

said but you you know that was half a

decade ago half a decade that's 5 years

how many people have a complete

transformation of political opinion in

five years and it's not on one topic

like I I could see how somebody would

say oh I used to believe in this hoax

but I found out blah blah blah but how

do you have a a total revamp of your

political opinions from crazy far left

to something more moderate in half a

decade half a decade you

lying whatever um here's something I

didn't know I had to look it up 1 to 3%

of their funding comes from the

government so I don't really care about

this too much one to three% of their

funding it it seems like we should just

yank the funding because 1 to 3% is

something that can certainly handle and

why am I paying for any of this

then Christopher rufo on X reminds us he

says don't forget the nprc CEO Katherine

Mah is also the board chairman of

signal she's the board chairman of

signal come on are we living in a

simulation how's that even possible the

only thing that could be weirder is if

she were like the daughter of Judge

bosberg she's not by the way but it's

the only thing that would make this

weird

and then uh rufo goes on and says and

she spent a decade working on regime

change operations in the Middle East and

North

Africa now I don't think anybody has had

a more uh a more obvious connection to

the CIA than she

has now it's not I can't confirm that I

don't have proof of that but uh all of

this from being CEO of NPR to being on

the chairman of the board of signal to

being working on regime change

operations in the Middle East and North

Africa what does that sound like to

you does that sound like just a bunch of

coincidences sometimes things are just

what you think well the uh one of the

biggest Tesla domestic terrorists has

been caught uh in Las Vegas I guess

police made an arrest it was the the guy

who did the most uh elaborate domestic

violence he's the one who set on fire

multiple cars at a uh I guess it was a

um it was a Tesla facility for repair I

think collision repair and used a gun he

fired some shots and used some Molotov

cocktails and of course he has a history

of being he's 36 years old has a history

of being associated with the Communist

party and anything everything else is

bad anyway he was booked on 15 counts he

could get up to 20 years in prison uh

also a woman seen keying at Tesla in

Washington has been identified she's in

trouble also that 450 lb guy who was on

some kind of a scooter thing and ramming

the side of a car he's been easily

identified and that's not a complete

list how many of the domestic terrorists

have now been completely identified

because I feel like we'll get just about

all of them you know the ones that

showed their faces so um it looks like

the world is starting to get Back in

Balance meaning that um as long as

there's a continual drip of the domestic

terrorists getting serious jail

sentences um maybe it'll decrease you

know maybe the Democrats will get tired

of it I don't know maybe they'll run out

of crazy

people I saw a post by Insurrection

Barbie who was a great follow by the way

if you're not following on X

Insurrection Barbie you're missing a lot

of great

content um but Insurrection Barbie says

the entire resistance to Donald Trump is

made up of like 300 super connected

Democrats and a bunch of paid protesters

easy to realize why they lost election

and why they're continuously bleeding

voters um but this is your daily

reminder that 300 powerful Democrats and

their NGO are trying to hold the country

hostage and I think Keon musk agreed

with that estimate that there are about

300 highly connected

Democrats who are pretending to be de

the Democrats basically they're the ones

in charge that that number completely

agrees with my understanding of the

world about 300 and of course within the

300 there would be you know 50 who are

super important and maybe you know 10

who are head of the pyramid but we do

see the same names don't we it feels

like you know if there's something

terrible happening you know lawfare or

something else it feels like the same

set of people just keep popping up over

and over again so yeah it's about 300

they just act like they're

more so Trump wants an investigation of

how it is possible according to the

Washington Times uh that uh he keeps

getting bad judges by chance so

apparently these DC judges should be

assigned randomly they've got some kind

of wheel they spend uh but yet this

judge bosberg who is uh let's say the

Trump supporters think he's been highly

biased and uh has conflicts they would

say um he was nominated by Barack Obama

Etc and that somehow amazingly he got

this newest case about the signal appp

and whether that has to do with uh

possibility of any federal records being

destroyed because the app automatically

deletes things so what are the odds that

he would be

chosen yet again for another Trump

related case Well turns out um as the

Washington Times reports and this is

good reporting by the way I didn't know

that there are

20 so if you were going to say how does

this one guy get four of these Trump

cases when it's one and a 20 every time

well it would help if you knew that

there um there's another judge G Cobb

who has at least 10 Trump related cases

but I've never heard that name have you

judge

Cobb how could one judge have 10 Trump

Rel

cases and I've never heard the

name my guess is that there are 10 cases

that aren't that

important and there are three other

judges that have six

each uh two of them have five each and

several judges have four well the first

thing you need to know is that there are

so many of these lawfare situations

against Trump that if you only have 20

judges they're all going to get half a

dozen

because even if you did it randomly

they're just so many judges that they're

they're just all going to come up half a

dozen

times that's exactly what's happening um

but I don't believe it's random here's

what I think I think it depends who

filed the lawsuit I think if one of the

300 which is really one of a half dozen

I think there are some

lawyers that if they're involved they

seem to get the right

judge I don't think that it's a

coincidence that judge Cobb has 10 cases

and I've never heard that name they

can't be the important

ones so I've got a feeling it's not

random even though a lot of people have

a lot of

cases um so Trump according also

according to the Washington Times Jeff

moro's writing about this uh Trump is

stripping security clearance from yet

another Law

Firm um what is it Wilmer haale it's a

high-powered Washington law firm and

they had once employed special counselor

Robert

Mueller and this is what the the

executive order Banning them from uh

working on government stuff says it says

that the law firm has abandon the

profession's highest

ideals and abused its pro bono practice

to engage in activities that undermine

the justice and interest of the United

States and I gives some

examples um it supported efforts to

discriminate based on race uh I assume

that means Dei stuff backs the

obstruction of efforts to prevent

illegal aliens from committing horrific

crimes and trafficking deadly drugs

within our border and furthers a

degradation of the quality of American

elections including supporting efforts

designed to enable noncitizens to vote

here's my

problem that's sort of the job of

lawyers lawyers don't just represent

innocent people who are

angels our system completely depends on

qualified lawyers also taking cases that

you and I hate and say why you doing

that why you doing that pro bono thing

for these terrible people so to me this

looks like lawfare

and remember I said from the beginning

I've told you if if it looks like

lawfare to me I'm going to call it out

it's a little hard to be a team player

and be in favor of lawfare however I'm

going to soften it a little

bit because there's so much lawfare

against the president that is completely

out of out of the

norm that this looks like a brush back

pitch to me as in if I keep getting

lawed I'm going to take you all down and

even if I lose every one of these in

some upper Court I'm going to make sure

you're spending all your time wasting

your time trying to fight this because

you all suck and you're all political

and you can pretend that you're just

helping your clients but you're

obviously just a lawfare organ of the

Democrats and we have a completely

broken system where the lawyers are

trying to basically run the whole

Country Now under those

conditions I'm okay with law fair

because the law fair is a brushback

pitch I'm not in favor of going to a

baseball game and watching the pitcher

throw unlimited pitches at the head of

the opposing batter no I don't want to

watch that but if that team does

something really messed up and the

Pitcher decides to put one right into

the body of the

batter you understand that don't you you

understand that they're they're trying

to get balance back now you might not

love it because it's violent I'm not

recommending it but we do see that in

the real world if you don't have

mutually assured

destruction everything falls

apart so if you look at it as just law

fair it's bad but if you look at it as a

response to

lawfare which is what it is it's a

response response to lawfare if they

laware them back just as hard um that is

establishing mutually assured

destruction and it may have more to do

with suppressing the next thing they do

than it does with you know addressing

anything in the past so I'm in favor of

it I I'm in favor of it and I think it's

lawfare and I think it's

appropriate um according to bre Bart

news Simon Kent is writing that uh Trump

Administration is going to suspend

contributions to the WTO the World Trade

Organization so I had to look up what

the heck does the World Trade

Organization do what it does is

allegedly uh at least up till now it has

opened markets to 160 different

countries and lowered tariffs and made

it easier to dispute trade problems

across borders and basically greased the

wheels to make it easier for every

country to do business with every other

country so you might ask why do we want

to suspend our contribution to that and

I think the answer is because if your

organization is trying to find a middle

ground where everybody's happy it's not

America

first um it could be well let's let's

make sure that you know China and the

United States are both you know kind of

Happy Happ but kind of unhappy but maybe

we could have done a better deal so I

don't know if this will work out or not

work out but the idea that we can handle

our own tariffs and our own disputes and

we've got enough um Market muscle to say

look if you don't handle this

dispute we're just not going to do

business with you or we're going to tear

off the beesa S of you so

tentatively this looks like a good idea

because they're not the the WTO is not

meant to be America first so maybe we

can do better on our own we'll

see that wouldn't be true for smaller

countries I suppose but for America

maybe well as you know this story you've

heard before that Jasmine Crockett

called the governor Abbott of Texas

governor Hot Wheels because abits in a

wheelchair and this of course caus the

Democrats to bring up the uh what they

probably think is true by the way um but

it's a hoax that Trump ever mocked a

reporter who had a disability with an

arm

now um I saw Brendan straa doing a great

job of debunking that I've seen you know

the debunk America doing a great job at

debunking it's the most thoroughly

debunked thing and it's easy to debunk

because

um you can show the video from before

the incident with the reporter where he

would do the same action when he was

talking about anybody who couldn't

answer a question or anybody who was

doing a bad job communicating basically

it was his way of mocking them

um so i' but you also know that Jasmine

Crockett tried to explain her comment as

not really being about the

wheelchair and that the Hot Wheels

comment was something about

transporting immigrants or

something so without further Ado I would

like to do my impression of Jasmine

Crockett trying to explain why she

called Governor Abbott Hot Wheels but it

really didn't have anything to do

with his uh his disability and this is

Jasmine

Crockett whoa whoa

who see how that

[Laughter]

works all

right um I saw Sabine Hassen Felder on X

she's a German physicist saying she said

I genuinely don't understand why some

people are still bullish about llms the

technology behind Ai and she talks about

how she's used a bunch of the AIS and

she's doing it for her work in s sence

and that it often gives her um sources

that don't exist or there's a 404 error

um it'll tell her that a document that

says 2025 on it is from

2023 so she has to continually fact

check the ai's work and it just looks

kind of limited to her and wonders why

people are so so enthusiastic about his

future now I've said similar things and

people's response to me and to other

people who have had this experience they

say you you just don't understand how

um you don't understand how what is

it

um oh what's the

word don't understand how exponential

improvements work so the smartest people

who like AI are saying Scott Scott

Scott you're so dumb uh let me explain

how the world Works can I um AI is not

supposed to be the best it will ever be

today it's going to get better like

really fast and there's going to be this

exponential growth that's going to

happen any minute now and when that

kicks in you're going to look like such

a fool oh man a fool because you don't

understand how exponential growth works

yeah it seems slow slow slow slow but

then when it kicks in

boom and that's why you're not seeing

because you're not you know you don't

understand technology like we

do to which I

say have you ever heard of Moore's law

about the microchips getting better

every year it's a straight

line no exponential period have you ever

heard of a thing called Fusion nuclear

fusion that was first um proposed and

worked on 93 years ago 93 years still

waiting for the exponential growth part

93 years what about airline travel I'm

waiting for the exponential growth in

that because since I was a child it's

been largely the same and the planes

don't even change they're like 40 years

old yeah so we got that

um so what else we got um what about

batteries I'm always talking about all

these breakthroughs and batteries now

that's a case where I think there will

be an exponential growth and the reason

is that there are people all over the

world who know know there's enormous

money to be made in making a better

battery enormous so you got all kinds of

people the best people working on it all

over the world and they're trying

different

Technologies so if you have the best

people all over the world and giant

money involved and working on different

Technologies the odds of one of them

being 10 times as good as the old one

are pretty good so if if you said to me

Scott don't you know that batteries you

know may be chugging along for a while

but once we get you know we get to a

certain point man those batteries are

going to be amazing I would believe that

one I believe that one it's just that

not everything can turn into everything

else what about

smartphones so our smartphones kind of

came kind of awesome because they're

smartphones but how different is your

current smartphone from the last

one I feel like smartphones sort of peak

I I'm waiting for that exponential

growth but I don't think it's coming

with smartphones probably some other

technology so here's what I think um I

used AI five times already this morning

mostly grock it was great because that's

how I know that Fusion has been worked

on for 93

years I just asked grock and uh that's

how I knew what the w UT does I ask Rock

So if you're a writer or you're working

in this kind of world this podcasting

world and you're trying to get context

and you're trying to get you know an

understanding of a new topic quickly oh

it is great it is great so in some

professions and Bill Gates was saying

that uh medical profession legal

profession some other ones we're going

to see

AI takeover and I believe that

so I'm very Pro AI it's just that I

don't think the current technology the

large language models are ever going to

help

Sabine do her science stuff because you

can't rely on it being right it might be

that you always have to fact check the

facts if you're doing science stuff the

the stuff I do I could get a fact wrong

and it wouldn't nobody would die you

know tomorrow's somebody would say um on

the show yesterday you said Fusion's

been around 93 years but really it's 50

I'd say oh okay so it works great

whenever you're in a domain where if

something's wrong it's not the biggest

problem in the world but do you think an

llm will ever become the pilot of your

commercial aircraft I'm going to say no

do you think llm will be good enough to

be the robot that can do generic tasks

and you just have to show it or teach

it I'm

skeptical because you wouldn't want a

robot in your

house that was lossy meaning that you

couldn't you couldn't know exactly what

was going to

happen so I'm going to say that uh the

llms have amazing potential for a whole

bunch of different things but we're

going to need to invent a whole

different kind of thing for this you

know the artificial general intelligence

the one that thinks like we do and is

less

lossy that's what I think anyway the

Gateway uh Gateway Punda is reporting on

my idea of creating the department of

imaginary concerns to handle all the

fake Democrat problems Mike Lance wrote

about this and uh if you hadn't heard

about that the idea is that Democrats

have a whole bunch of imaginary problems

everything from climate crisis to um

Russia collusion the signal controversy

uh Elon mus stealing your social

security numbers like just a whole bunch

of fake stuff uh Trump's going to become

Hitler um he's Putin's best friend all

that stuff so you just put that in the

um the department of imaginary concerns

now the reason I brought it up is I want

to give you a very quick um persuasion

lesson a few people said hey don't call

it the department of imaginary

concerns call it the imaginary problems

or the imaginary policies or something

like that the word concerns is what made

this

viral so that's the actually the active

word so if you didn't understand

persuasion you would say hm concerns is

too generic or it's off it's off point

or something if you do understand it you

know that that's the word that sold it

when you see

concerns it tells you that somebody's

concerned as opposed to it's a problem

or or anything in the real world and

it's a non-standard word in this domain

you wouldn't expect to see the word

concerns in the name of a title of a

department so it's the

mistake or isn't the mistake that makes

it do that makes it viral so that's what

made it sticky meanwhile zinsky is uh

self ulating so he launched according to

the National pulse Christopher tomson he

uh he's attacking Trump's team um and he

said the following stuff he said

the he said that the

uh that Europe unlike the United States

has discipline and no chaos chaos who

says the United States has chaos

Democrats

right have you ever heard a republican

say oh we got a bunch of chaos nope it's

just a Democrat thing and now zilinsky

is taking that that approach and he says

Europe good us chaos and then he accused

uh uh

witkoff um he said uh I can't be

ungrateful to the Americans for

everything they did but they are often

unfortunately under the influence of

Russian narratives and then he said then

he went off on wickoff and he says he

doesn't look like a military man he

doesn't look like a general and he

doesn't have such experience as far as I

know he is very good at selling and

buying real estate and this is a little

different um well

zalinski good luck because America's

out you you just made it impossible to

get peace in Ukraine with America's help

a apparently he really wants a permanent

war and Europe's on his team and I say

good luck guys good luck um you can

fight Russia all day long but there's no

freaking way after you've insulted

wickoff and Trump that you're going to

get what you want from the United States

you just close that door you idiot or

maybe he knows exactly what he's doing

but there's no reason for us to be

involved anymore

he made it easy to walk

away um and then he said that he's

rejecting any idea for a peace deal that

would involve uh that would not involve

Russia giving back all the territory

that they've conquered including Crimea

now given that we know there's no way

that's ever going to

happen has he just slam the door shut on

any kind of a peace deal and America

being productive in any of it he has the

door shut so I don't care what the news

is tomorrow or the next day I don't care

if he changes his mind I don't care if

he apologizes it's over I'm going to

call it we're out now the United States

has not said that Trump has not said

that I don't think he's commented

exactly

but I feel pretty confident that this

just ended the productive relationship

with the United States of UK gra we're

definitely not going to be helping them

defend themselves um at this point now

something could change I suppose but I

think we're done but at the same time

and this is

fascinating um Jack bobc of human events

was talking to Scott bessent and Scott

bent says that they've got 100 page

Ukraine deal about the minerals not

about peace but about minerals that he

hopes will will be get signed next week

now it is

possible that we could make a mineral

deal it's not impossible because the

mineral deal would not be promising

anything about security it would just be

a way for them to make money and for us

to make

money so they might say yes to making

money because they need money to fight

their war and from our perspective it

might give them a little what uh besten

not a security guarantee but it is an

economic security PCT now I'm not so

sure the United States would want to get

involved in some place that didn't have

good defense against Russia coming in

and taking the rest of the country so I

don't know if we can actually get

private companies to do the work because

that would be a pretty big risk but if

it works that'd be great but I I think

in terms of the US funding Ukraine's

military Adventure I think that's over I

think we're done with that meanwhile the

Greenland trip is getting spicy you knew

that JD Vance and his wife were going

over there but here's the funny part

apparently

um the the Mike walz was always uh

intended to be part of the trip but they

had forgotten about him uh when they did

the the notice so National Security

advisor Mike walls will also be

attending the

trip all I can hope is they don't

accidentally invite Jeffrey Goldberg on

the

[Laughter]

trip that's a call back yeah okay can

you imagine them being on the plane and

they look over and it's like oh my God

and Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally

invited on the

[Laughter]

trip all right that's all I got for you

thanks for thanks for putting up with me

uh that's all I've got for today I'm

going to talk to the local subscribers

privately for a minute the rest of you

make sure you come back tomorrow same

time same place we'll have some more fun

so if you're on exra rumble or YouTube I

appreciate you joining and I'll see you

tomorrow locals I'll be coming at you

privately
