Episode 2904 CWSA 07/21/25

Let's see if stocks are cooperating.

Yeah, little bit.

Little bit.

We got lots of seat in the front.

Grab a chair.

Put a cat in your lap and then we'll go wild.

All right.

But first, got to make sure I can see your comments and then we'll be in good shape.

Come on, comments.

really not working.

All right.

Well, I guess I don't need to see those.

All right.

They're working now.

Now it's working.

Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time.

But if you'd like to see if you can elevate your experience to levels that nobody could even understand with their tiny shiny human brains.

Well, all you need for that is a copper, a mugger, a glass, a tanker shell, or Stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparallel pleasure.

The dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

It's called the simultaneous sip.

And it happens.

Now go.

Oh, so good.

So good.

Uh, well, I saw a little uh exchange on X between Elon Musk and his brother Kimble.

And uh Kimble said that uh once you start letting uh the full full self-driving supervised drive for you in your Tesla uh doing a long distance trip with them feels like going back to the dark ages and Elon agreed.

Now, I think this is the biggest story about self-driving cars that everybody who tries it is instantly addicted.

Maybe not for every trip and every use, but for sure people who try it like it.

So, today I believe there's some earnings reports.

Tesla will be coming out soon.

I don't know if that's today or not.

But uh I don't know.

It feels like the biggest thing you need to know is that once you try it, you can't live without it.

That feels that feels important.

Um, in other news, um, according to interesting engineering, there's, uh, something called the Phoenix system for car batteries, I guess batteries in general, in which they're making them selfhealing.

So instead of your battery wearing out and having to be disposed, they're they're making a battery that can sense what part of it is maybe a future problem and it repairs it on its own.

It's a self-healing battery.

So, it's not available yet, but the researchers seem to have cracked the code and they know it make it self-healing, which would double the uh time you could use it.

Now, um when people say they oppose electric cars, they might have more than one reason, but the biggest reason I hear is limits in the battery.

And there are probably a 100 different labs around the world working on battery improvement.

So I would be very surprised if electric cars go away.

Um at the same time you're worried about the uh the rare earth minerals.

Well, um, per a historian in New Atlas, Joe Salis is writing that, uh, there's a company called Conifer, Conifer, um, in which they they're making electric motors without those rare earth magnets.

They're using, uh, less rare magnets, I guess.

Now, apparently, this is something that people have tried before.

This not the first time somebody tried to make better electric motors with without those rare earth batteries, rare earth magnets.

But this company seems to be um successful at least in their prototype.

So we might find a workaround for some of those rare earth materials and your batteries might last twice as long pretty soon.

Well, the largest cruise ship in the world is launching.

The uh Royal Caribbean has it and it's uh has 20 decks and uh 5,000 passengers.

Um 5,000 passengers on one ship.

Wow.

And it's about to set sail.

Um, so I wondered how far away are we from being able to live full-time at sea, you know, sea studying.

So I looked at what it would cost you to just live on that ship full-time.

And if you had a nice little uh suite, it would cost you about $60,000 per month.

So, you know, the economics could probably fall a little bit more.

Um, we might have a good earnings season because apparently uh 83% of S&P 500 companies believe that they're uh are expecting higher than expected earnings.

They're expecting higher than expected.

That's a bad sentence.

But um according to the Wall Street Journal, we're probably in for a good earnings season.

That will be good for stocks hypothetically.

Here's a story I don't believe at all.

Uh according to futurism uh Victor Tangerine is writing that Chinese scientists have invented a system for extracting oxygen, water and rocket fuel from moon dust.

Do you believe that there are Chinese scientists who figured out how to take the dust from the moon?

You know, this this is the purpose of it is if you want a moon base, it's uh too expensive to send water up there.

So, you'd have to find it somehow.

But there are no bodies of water on the moon that we know of.

So, allegedly, Chinese scientists have invented a system for turning the surface of the moon, the moon dust, into all of these things, oxygen, water, and rocket fuel.

Do you believe that?

Doesn't that sound a little Sputnik like where maybe China is gaslighting us about what they can invent?

I think uh most of my stories about new inventions are about Chinese inventors.

And there might be a little exaggerating going on or a little a little optimism.

So, I'm going to go on record as saying I do not believe Chinese scientists can turn moon dust into oxygen, water, and rocket fuel.

I do not believe that, but it's in the news.

Um, New Atlas also reports that the FDA is getting closer to approving a fatmelting uh shot that you can put wherever you have a special fat problem.

So, if you didn't want to remove the fat everywhere in your body, but you had a little around your love handles or whatever, they could just give you a shot and it would melt away allegedly in your problem area.

So, that's probably what happened to uh Adam Schiff.

I feel like he fell down and accidentally stabbed himself with one of these and then his fat head shrunk to the size of a raisin.

That's true.

Yeah, Adam Schiff's head is the size of a raisin.

It looks bigger on TV, but it's really the size of a raisin.

Um well according to a u new report u from a organization called do no harm they looked at 23 uh public medical schools in 2024 and found out that they're still discriminating against uh white applicants.

Um, now are you surprised that most of the medical schools are still openly discriminating against white applicants?

No, you're probably not surprised because it's exactly what you expected.

But my question is this, um, is this calculated in reparations?

I mean, seriously, it's been what, 40 years of direct discrimination against white applicants for corporate jobs and college and everything else.

Um, if you calculated reparations, wouldn't you have to include this as as money that's already paid?

Yes, of course you do.

Obviously, you do.

I'm not sure that reparations is cash positive at this point.

I've got a feeling that somebody owes me money.

And literally, I mean that if you did the numbers, I believe you would find that I'm owed.

But nobody's going to do that calculation, so we don't have to worry about it.

Well, Pete Buddha Judge's uh Department of Transportation allegedly spent $80 billion on DEI grants um and did not did not upgrade air traffic control, which as you know is at an emergency level of dangerous.

Um do you believe that?

I'm going to say I don't believe that he he used half of his budget on DEI initiatives.

$80 billion.

There's something wrong with that story, isn't there?

Yeah.

You're you're automatically believing, oh, he said billion, but what he meant was million, right?

Well, that's what I thought when I read the story.

I thought it can't be 80 billion.

It must be 80 million, right?

But it does say billion.

Uh I'm going to say I don't believe that story.

I do not believe that he he gave out uh $80 billion in a DEI grants.

No, I don't believe that.

I got to say no on that.

I saw a post by uh ex user cre which I'm mispronouncing sorry that uh China's largest ship builder built more ships if you go by tonnage than America has built in total since World War II.

That's just one ship builder.

So China is just building ships like crazy.

uh many of them are military but many of them are not and I remember I remember feeling that America could build things and now I think we really don't know how to build things we just don't have that skill anymore and why exactly does China need that many ships is it because they want to control the ocean Probably probably um we'll we'll see what happens there.

Um Trump is saying that the Wall Street Journal reporting is fake when it reported that Scott Bent Basent um explained to Trump that if he fired Jerome Powell from the Fed, the markets would react and go down.

And Trump is reminding us that no one needed to explain to me that that would be bad for the market.

That being firing the Fed chief if he did it.

Um and uh and then then Trump said Scott Basant doesn't explain to me the market will crash if Powell was fired.

People don't explain to me.

I explained to them.

Now, I remember a time when this would be obnoxious, but but uh one of the things you'll learn is that if people are really really consistent with how they are, you just get used to them.

Can you imagine anybody else posting that?

There's nobody else who can say, "Uh, nobody explains to me, I explain to them." But it works for him.

it works.

You know, it's a it's so uh compatible with everything else he says and does that you just go, "Oh, all right." Well, I will uh give you this useful tip.

The fakest, least likely to be true news stories are the ones that tell you that somebody knows a private conversation that happened when they weren't there.

Those are rarely true in both directions.

It's not just a Republican thing or a Democrat thing.

Um, if you read a news story about what somebody said behind closed doors in the White House, it's probably not true.

That that stuff is just never passes the sniff test.

So, I would agree with Trump that he probably did not need anybody to explain to him that firing the head of the Fed would royal the markets.

Yeah, I feel like he would have known that.

So, I'm going to side with Trump in saying that feels like a fake feels like fake news.

Don't know for sure.

Well, Keith Ulberman, um, who used to be my mascot, uh, cuz he would always say bad things about me, but, uh, he's now he's now weighed in on, uh, the Steven Colbear firing.

And he says, uh, that's not because of anything with Trump.

He goes, sorry, that's not what happened there.

Yeah, if it had, they wouldn't be keeping him on until May.

So, even Keith Overberman um is rejecting the fake news, the newest hoax, newest hoax from the left that uh Trump is the reason that Colbear was fired.

And I'd have to agree, well, I don't know if I agree with the reason they're keeping him on is because he has a contract until May.

So, I don't know.

I feel like you might you might keep him on till the end of his contract.

No, no matter why you fired him, maybe.

Um, so I'm not sure if right, but it's notable that he's not agreeing with his own side.

Well, Thomas Massie tells us that 79% of Americans support releasing all the Epstein files.

But only 16 members of Congress have sponsored the legislation to do so.

Now, does that surprise you?

Um, uh, doesn't surprise me because Congress doesn't seem to give people what they want, nor should it.

Allergies killed me.

Sorry.

Um, Congress does what's good for Congress.

So apparently um the majority of members of Congress don't believe it would be good to release the Epstein files.

Or maybe they just want to stay out of it.

Um they could pay out his contract and leave him off TV.

Colbear, they could.

Um so that's why I don't want to I don't want to agree with.

So what do you think of that?

Why would it be that eight out of 10 um citizens want to see the Epstein files, but only 16 members of Congress?

There are a lot of people in Congress and only 16 of them are in favor of uh this.

But maybe it's has more to do with being a sponsor or not being a sponsor.

So, they might be supporting it but not wanting to sponsor it.

I suppose that's the thing.

We don't know.

But um I have a suggestion.

This is a bad suggestion, but maybe it'll make you think of a better one.

You know how I've been saying that Trump has cleverly monetized the Ukraine war by saying that America won't be giving anybody anything, but if Europe wants to buy our weapons, then we'll sell them to them.

So basically, Trump just turned the war into a profit center for the United States, which I'm a little bit impressed with.

If you can't end it, and he tried, you might as well monetize it.

And likewise, he monetized the fentinel overdo overdose deaths by using as an excuse to raise the uh tariffs on, you know, China and Canada, too.

and I think Mexico.

So that's uh two examples where he had these unsolvable problems that he just monetized.

And I hate I hate that even if I don't like what he's doing.

I can't be mad about him monetizing it for the country.

There there's something awesome about that.

But I'm going to take that to the next level.

I wonder if you could monetize deportations um or the you know the illegal immigrant problem.

Here's what I mean.

I would not monetize um getting rid of the criminal elements, the ones who have committed crimes beyond coming to the country illegally.

Um you just have to do that.

But what happens when those people have largely been deported and the people that you see deported next have been uh hardworking citizens of the United States for decades.

How are we all going to feel about that?

And my my question is this and remember this is the bad suggestion.

So, if you could come up with a better suggestion that maybe something I say reminds you of a better idea, that would be great.

I feel as if it would be nice if you could monetize um the the keeping and the not deporting some of the people who have just done a great job of being, you know, good solid citizens.

For example, if you said to some wealthy Democrats, "Here's the deal.

Um, we're going to deport your your maid or something, and what if the American citizen could say, "What?

Um, I would be very sad if you deport my my maid.

Um, how about if I offer to put up a bond?" So, I will or or maybe there's some special tax.

What if Um, people had the option of saying, "All right, for $20,000 paid to the Treasury of the United States or maybe even paid to Border Patrol, um, that uh, they can stay, but they would have to be having been here for 20 years or some number of time, and they would have to have jobs, and they would have to have no criminal records and stuff.

Could you monetize it?

No, deport them all.

All right.

Well, here's the thing.

It wouldn't be many people and the people who were not deported would be the people who had made a life and acted like Americans.

Um, I feel as though it's not a crisis yet, but very soon it will be a crisis where there will be a lot of people who say, "All right, all right, you have now deported enough people." And then there will be another group of people, tens of millions of them, who will say, "What?

No.

I voted for deporting all of them.

You're not done." Could you find a middle ground by saying, "All right, we'll keep some people if somebody puts down a really large payment to keep them in the country." I don't know.

Now, like I say, that's not a good idea because I don't know if the numbers would work or if enough people would actually want to, you know, take a chance on that.

But maybe maybe might be a way to do it.

All right.

There's a a US firm has unveiled a 300 horsepower robot boat that can hunt enemy vessels.

Interesting.

Engineering has a story.

It's called Venom.

It's 9 meters and can do multi-m missions and it's just a robot boat.

Remember my prediction that uh wars will be fought just by robots against robots.

I can't imagine being a human sailor on an ocean during a war when there are drones and drone boats that are un unmanned and plentiful that are coming to get you.

I feel like, you know, we're heading toward a time when having a human on the ocean is a bad idea in a variety of different ways.

So maybe that'll that'll be a big deal, maybe.

Um, also from interesting engineering, the first humanoid robot uh that can change its own battery.

So, of course, that's coming out of China.

Another Chinese robot company, UB Tech, uh, has created the Walker S2.

So, the humanoid robot when it gets low on battery can go over and just swap its battery out and uh, keep on working.

That's pretty cool.

So, apparently it can have two batteries at the same time, but it only needs one to run.

So, it's got two places for batteries basically.

So, you can hot swap them.

That's a big deal.

So, that your household robot someday will be able to go all day.

It would be a giant pain in the ass if you got addicted to have a a household robot, but the household robot needed, I don't know, 10 hours to charge.

And you you'd just always be mad.

It's like, h, it's charging again.

So, you need that hot swap.

Well, uh, Howard Lutnik in the administration says that more trade deals are coming this week.

So, this is going to be a a big week for trade deals.

We don't know which ones, but uh, as I've told you, the beauty of Trump's approach is that they'll be able to announce new successes um, almost every week.

And the Democrats really didn't see this coming.

I don't think I don't think they saw it coming that now there would just be hundreds of countries that would be agreeing with the United States a few per week and they all look like success.

Um, so here's the more uh generic Democrat messaging failure.

As you know, the Democrats are not big on policy.

They just like to insult Republicans and they think that's enough to get them elected and mostly insulting Trump.

So, Beetto Oorc was on State of the Union CNN.

And here's some advice he's giving Democrats.

Now, I want you to listen to how useless this advice is.

They all have useless advice.

uh quote, "I think that Democrats have been so scared of being branded as hypocrites or coloring outside the lines." First of all, his assumption is ridiculous.

Do you think Democrats have been scared of being branded as hypocrites?

Not one.

So, he's starting out with a completely ridiculous assumption.

There's no Democrats who have been scared of being branded as hypocrites.

That's not a thing.

um or coloring outside the lines.

No, there are no Democrats who are worried about coloring outside the lines.

That's not a thing.

But he goes on uh that those two things have absolutely paralyzed them in the struggle for power in America.

To which I say, struggle for power?

Why are you calling it a struggle for power?

Wouldn't we call it our democratic republic where there's competition between the sides?

But no, for Betto, it's a struggle for power.

Uh and then he says, you don't see the other side worrying about any of that at all.

No, the reason the other side doesn't worry about that is that these are not things that people should worry about.

No, nobody's worried about any of that, nor should you be.

Um, and then he says, "We have to fight back." Oh, there it is.

So, they see this as a fight and a power struggle.

They don't even mention better policies.

It's not even on the list.

And then he says, "We cannot roll over.

We cannot play dead." So, how much of that advice is useful?

Um, Democrats, um, I I think you've been scared too long of being branded as hypocrites.

So, stop being branded as Stop being afraid of being branded as hypocrites.

To which I say, that's all you got.

That's it.

It it's almost comically absurd that the Democrats best, you know, players, they have nothing.

All they have is this struggle thing.

The struggle, the fight, the, you know, the authoritarian, they got nothing.

Mayor uh Bass from uh LA.

Um she's talking about all the uh the deportations and she says, quote, "I am just hoping that this reign of terror ends.

I'm hoping that we can get back to normal." The reign of terror.

That is that her policy?

So her policy preference is to wait out the reign of terror.

What kind of advice is that?

Uh, what should you do, Democrats?

Well, well, don't be afraid of being a hypocrite.

Make sure you color outside the lines and wait until the reign of terror ends.

All of it is ridiculous.

They are so far away from any kind of common sense understanding of the country or even pretending even pretending that their job is to make the country better off.

It it's all about this struggle, this fight, this hypocrisy, this authoritarianism, the oligarchs.

It's all empty.

Just pure empty rhetoric.

Meanwhile, uh Trump put out uh I guess he posted on Truth Social a meme which involved uh Obama being handcuffed and taken away.

Now in normal circumstances and were not normal circumstances I would say oh my god even though I like Trump I would have said you can't show handcuffing and taking away and arresting the prior you know a prior president.

You can't do that.

That's way over the line.

Except this is the week that the uh Democrats and Tulsi Gabbard are or the Republicans and Tulsi Gabbard are all talking about how now the documentation has proven that Obama and Brennan and Clapper and Susan Rice were all part of a multi-year plan to act as though Russia had been helping Trump or at least you know or maybe colluding with there was no evidence of that.

Um, and that it was an attempt to run a gigantic hoax that would overthrow the government of the United States.

And apparently there must be some laws that were broken by that.

It seems like it.

I don't know which ones.

But my uh my old feeling that you can't just act like you're going to arrest the old president.

That would be the worst thing in the world.

But the reason I would be opposed to that was that I wouldn't want it to escalate and I wouldn't want the other side once they got in power to do the same thing.

However, apparently they've already what we know is that they tried to overthrow the country several times.

So, here are just a few of the things they've done.

So, of course, there was the uh Russia collusion hoax, which at this point is well documented to have been a Hillary Clinton Obama administration hoax.

And that was definitely to overthrow the country.

And then there were two what I would call fake impeachments against Trump during his first term.

The purpose of which is to change the government.

Now those didn't work out, but they were also attempts to overthrow the government through illegitimate means.

That would be three coup attempts.

Then there was all the lawfare when Trump was out of office.

The the lawfare was so far over the line of not appropriate that under normal circumstances, I would say no, you can't lawfare them back, it'll just keep escalating.

We don't want that.

But given that they pulled out all of the stops to go after Trump, I I think he has a free punch.

I think Trump has every moral and ethical and probably legal standing to arrest a lot of Democrats.

And I'm only recently coming to this opinion cuz even though I think they did bad things, I didn't think they were so bad necessarily that they needed to go to jail cuz it it still felt like it was, you know, in that weasly, you know, political realm as opposed to criminal.

But it does look completely criminal at this point.

I mean, there were so many things they did.

There are questions about the assassination attempt against Trump.

Now, there may not be any direct, you know, coordination of somebody working with the assassin, but don't you think the only reason that Trump was targeted is that the Democrats have been calling him Hitler for years?

Of course.

Why?

Why do they call him Hitler for years?

So that there's no limit to what people are willing to do to get rid of Hitler.

That's why they do it.

Did it work?

Well, almost.

If Trump had not turned his head, um then all of that calling him Hitler would have resulted in his death.

Exactly like um Republicans have been warning for years.

If you keep doing this, somebody's going to get killed almost.

So I would say that even if they don't have a direct smoking gun connection to the assassin that the Democrats created the situation where somebody would want to do that and they were fully aware that they were doing that creating that situation.

So I would say that's uh one, two, three, four, five, five um attempts to overthrow the government, Trump government.

And then I would add to that the fine people hoax.

The fine people hoax um was known to be a hoax.

They obviously knew it wasn't real.

uh Biden ran on it and that was an attempt to overthrow the government.

Now, of course, there's lots of, you know, lying and hyperbole on both sides in um when it comes to uh politics, but the fine people hoax was really different because it was so obvious that it wasn't true if you just watched the whole video.

And the entire news world, the at least the left-leaning news, which was the mainstream news at the time, they all supported it as being true.

Now, if you took away the fact that the mainstream media was supporting it as true, it would just be politicians saying, you know, BS and we don't take them too seriously.

But once the entire media is behind it, then it's a RICO situation.

So, by my count, one, two, three, four, five, six, uh, six direct attempts to overthrow the government.

Do I think that?

And then, you know, look what they did to Mike Flynn.

That ought to be illegal.

That ought to be really illegal.

And you know, General Flynn is uh very adamant that people need to go to jail for what they did to not just him, but tried to do to Trump.

And again, I was reluctant I was reluctant to say that jail is the right solution, but I'm all in on jail now.

Um I believe that probably several people need to be put in jail for a long time.

I don't know that it will happen because we don't live in a world where that sort of thing can easily happen, but I do believe that the uh that the enough bad behavior warrants it.

And uh I'm sad that I got to that point, but I am there.

Um in a truth social post, Trump also said that Adam Schiff is a thief.

He's calling him a thief because Adam Schiff is accused and there's documentation to back it up that he has two homes, one near work in Maryland and one in California so that he could be a senator from California and that he's claimed in uh bank documentations or maybe it was something else for taxes.

uh he claimed that both of them were primary residents which you can't have two primary residents.

So the point of claiming that was to save some money on taxes I believe or maybe it was on the loan I can't remember.

Um but that would be the thievery that he lied on documents to save money in a corrupt illegal way.

So yeah um will there be any prosecution for that?

I don't know.

But is it warranted?

Absolutely.

It's absolutely warranted.

Yeah.

I think Schiff should probably go to jail.

And if you look at the compilation clips of all the things that Schiff has lied about, especially the uh the Russia collusion hoax and the fine people hoax and every other hoax, the lawfare stuff he backed.

Yeah, he is a really bad character.

Well, uh, Al, uh, Ellen De.

Generes has apparently confirmed that the reason she moved to the UK and will stay there is because of Trump.

So once Trump got reelected, uh, they were there temporarily for a long a long period, but temporarily.

And now she says, "No, can't come back.

Now it's all so bad because of Trump." All right.

And then just when you think Trump has found the the middle ground and he doesn't need to be provocative anymore because he's winning so hard.

He does a truth social in which he goes after the Washington um the Washington football team that's now called the Washington Commanders but used to be called the Washington Redskins.

And the Washington Redskins changed their name to the Washington Commanders cuz you know the obvious reason that Redskins sounds a little unwoke and we were living in a woke world.

And u so Trump is saying that he won't approve the stadium um the stadium for Washington DC which is where the Washington Commanders would play unless they change their name back to the Washington Redskins.

Now, I'll say again, I'm a big fan of the president, you know, big supporter.

That's not going to I don't think that's going to change, but I don't agree with this.

Do Do you think that the president should be telling a private private uh business what they should name their team?

And do you think that they should be punished for trying to not offend people by having red skin in the name, but rather come up with a a more boring name that nobody would complain about?

I don't feel that that's Trump's business.

Um, and if you're if you're trying to uh make it look like it's authoritarian, well, that looks a little bit authoritarian, but it's not even authoritarian for a good purpose.

Is the world going to be better off if they change it back to Now, uh, I think you all know that I'm the opposite of woke.

And, you know, I'm not for every little D.

thing that somebody wants just cuz they want it.

But literally red skin was literally about the skin.

About the skin color.

Why does the skin color of some people have to be in the product name?

I can kind of see why if you were Native American, maybe you'd say, "Hey, you know, why are you talking about my skin color?

That's not the important part.

So, I don't think that was ever intended to be a endearing an endearing uh label for the Native Americans.

So, if they don't like it, um I'm not in favor of changing it back.

And then Trump threw in the Cleveland Indians into the the same conversation.

Now, that one's a little different.

Um, the word Indian should not be anybody's insult.

It's just that um, if the Native Americans don't like that particular label, I feel like everybody should get to be able to pick their own label, don't you?

Do you think that it's inappropriate that every group gets to say, "All right, there are a lot of things you can call us, but just don't use this word, you know, don't use the nword." I've never complained about that.

Um, I feel like it's completely reasonable that if black Americans say, you know, the n-word is that's those are fighting words.

Okay.

But doesn't everybody else get to do that, too?

If uh if I complained about being called a cracker, shouldn't I have the ability to say, "All right, it bothers me too much if you call me a cracker." Those are fighting words.

Yes.

I mean, it doesn't happen to bother me too much, so I wouldn't fight over it.

But if I did, if it did bother me, I would want you to respect that.

So, I feel as if every group should have a few vetos over what they're called.

You know, if you wanted to call Jewish Americans by, you know, the one of the insult words, should you have the right to do it because it's a free country.

Well, maybe technically in the sense of the Constitution giving you that right, but it would be perfectly reasonable for Jewish Americans to say, could you not use that word?

you know, may maybe don't put that on a sign.

Perfectly reasonable.

So, that's my take.

Well, here's some good news.

Pope Leo the 14th, um, he's come out against, uh, killing people in Gaza.

So, he's against violence.

So, those of you who thought that the new pope might be making a break with uh president and coming out in favor of random violence, he's not.

No, no, he's against violence.

So, he won't say ceasefire in Gaza.

Now, I would point out that the pope is not into the nuance of the uh let's say defensive necessity of the area.

So, it's a bit of a half opinion, but uh it's always good to know that the Pope is against war.

He's always against it.

Well, on Face the Nation, acting ICE director Todd Lions um says that uh that ICE will be going after um companies that knowingly hire undocumented immigrants.

Now, if you believed that um the current immigration um effort by Trump was too slow, well, that might be changing really quickly because it seems to me if you threatened only only the um immigrants themselves, only the migrants, then they might say, "Well, it's still worth it.

and if I get deported, I'll just end up back where I was.

So that's not the worst thing in the world.

Um, so you can you can slow down immigration, illegal immigration, by threatening the people who are doing it, but their downside isn't that far down as long as they have not committed other crimes.

It's just going back to where they were.

But if you threaten the businesses who absolutely know that they have some illegal people on the payroll, they know.

Now, usually they have to, you know, check to see if they do have ID.

And they're not supposed to be experts in knowing what is fake ID and what's not.

So, currently, um, companies are not prosecuted as long as they check the ID, even if it was fake.

However, if that changes and you actually see reports of um employers who are saying, "Okay, we're going to absolutely stop hiring any uh immigrants because we don't want that risk." Or possibly, remember I always tell you that insurance is the most predictive thing in our world.

If ins if insurance companies say I'm not going to cover that situation, then you know change is coming, right?

But if the insurance companies say, "Yeah, we'll still cover that." Then maybe not much is going to change.

But imagine if you will that you provide some kind of business insurance or even loans to a business and you find out that uh ICE is closing down those businesses that know they have illegal aliens, would you sell them insurance?

Would you give them a loan?

And would the business take that risk when the alternative is to hire local people?

was just harder.

Well, it seems to me that uh if you start going after the businesses, you can absolutely eliminate illegal migration because the businesses are not going to take the business risk and that is the sensitive lever here.

So, watch for that.

As soon as you see uh as soon as you see a bunch of news stories about business owners who were jailed or fined or the business went out of business because they had illegal aliens, as soon as that happens, and I haven't seen any of those stories, but as soon as it happens, it looks like it's going to um there's going to be a massive change and all the all the businesses will say, um, we did pay attention to the news and the news says that businesses like ours is are going to be closed down if we keep hiring, you know, undocumented people.

They will stop right away.

When I got cancelled, most of you know that story.

It wasn't because um every person who reads a comic canceled me.

And it wasn't because um individual bookstores or individual newspapers decided that um they didn't want to work with me.

It was because the the most um the biggest leverage was the syndication company and the publisher.

It was real easy to lean on them and then once you lean on the publisher, it's not in any bookstore.

So, I thought I was a little bit safe free speech wise that even if a newspaper here or there can Dilbert, well, there was still 2,000 that didn't, so it was no big deal.

But when my counselors realized they could go after the publisher and go after the syndication company, there were only two people that they needed to convince to cancel me and they put pressure on them and they canled me immediately.

So similarly, if ICE puts pressure on the businesses, it's going to make a big difference really quickly.

All right.

Trump's approval, apparently, according to polls, has fallen since February.

Um, a lot of the tariff stuff and the immigration stuff seemed to be the main cause, but it was 53% in February.

It's 42% now.

I forget which poll that was.

um and that public support for deportation is falling as you might expect as there are more stories in the news of um that that would make you empathetic toward the people being deported.

Uh but Republicans, if you look at only Republicans, they remain solidly behind the president.

So the president has not lost his base pretty much at all.

Uh but it looks like some independents and maybe some crossover Democrats said, "No, we will run back to our corner and stop supporting him." Well, did you know according to news nation Anna Kum Kuiman is reporting that uh Big A, the big agricultural companies are funding um efforts for various, you know, smaller organizations that you wouldn't know are being funded by the big act.

They're going after the Make America Healthy campaigns and they're paying for fake science so they can continue doing their unhealthy things.

According to uh according to the Make America Healthy Again people, they would be unhealthy.

But uh so the industry um there are industry groups like Crop Life and some others and they're going to be arguing to keep things the way they are.

Um did you know uh also according to News Nation's report there um that Bayer Monsanto has faced over a 100,000 lawsuits over its fertilizer.

100 thou not fertilizer, pesticide.

A 100,000 lawsuits over its pesticide.

And how many has it settled?

Um 11 billion in settlements.

Now, they still claim that uh they have a safe product, but there have been a 100,000 lawsuits against them, and they've already settled 11 billion that they paid out.

Doesn't that kind of suggest doesn't that suggest to you that maybe there's a problem here?

I don't know, but there's a lot of winning in court.

And then uh there's a Chinese study that found out that if you have cancer and you get chemotherapy um under some conditions, and I don't know how widespread this is, the chemo can speed up the spread of cancer to the rest of your body.

Just just listen to that.

Chemo, the the main thing that is recommended for every kind of cancer, it seems, might be spreading up the spread of the cancer.

That's according to this Chinese study.

Okay, I don't know if it's true, but that would be horrifying.

Um, you know how I always say, wait until you find out about climate models?

Uh, I'm gonna add to that.

Wait until you find out about chemotherapy.

There is something coming down the road.

I don't know of a specific thing, but I can tell you from my own research that there's going to be probably sometime in the next few years, if not sooner, there's going to be big stories about chemotherapy.

And that's all I know for sure because I don't want to be sued.

Uh, and I don't want to convince people to stop taking it if it's going to be good for them.

But there are going to be some things you find out about chemo that won't make you happy at all.

That's that's my prediction.

Well, according to Yale Environment 360, there's a new study that says a drop in air pollution mostly in Asia.

I guess the the Asian countries are getting some of their air pollution under control.

Uh they still have a big problem but some of it's reduced.

Uh but that reduction in air pollution allegedly drove a surge in warming.

So I guess the pollution was helping to cool the uh the earth maybe from reflecting the sun or something.

And uh as we continue to improve the quality of air, it should be it should cause an uptick in uh temperature.

Now, how many times have I told you that there was something that a scientist just discovered that was influencing the temperature that was not already in the climate models quite a few times, right?

If you if you're one of my regulars, it comes up a lot.

To which I say, wait till you find out about climate models.

And sooner or later, and I don't think it'll be too far in the future, sooner or later, there's going to be a big expose whistleblower who's going to tell you, "Of course the climate models are not accurate, and we always knew it, but we did it anyway.

All right.

So, I don't think any climate models had that pollution thing built in there.

All right.

I got uh two different topics.

One is I could tell you the power of hypnosis um at a scale and how big that is.

Or I could tell you that the pure bloods are basically another form of mental illness like TDS.

Which one would you like to hear?

So, and I'll only do one.

So, it's either the power of hypnosis at a mass population scale or uh hypnosis.

All right.

Good choice.

All right, let me take you on a little uh a little trip.

All right, pay attention because you're going to have to connect all these dots, right?

So, some time ago, I think it was during the first Trump administration, you first heard the word hoax being used in a political realm.

Do you remember that?

Do you remember the first time somebody said, "Hey, those Democrats are running a hoax." Well, I'm not sure if Mike Cernovich came up with that word for that context first, but I believe he was the main promoter of that word to be brought into the political context.

Now, Mike Cernovich is also well-versed in persuasion and hypnosis and that's I would call that sort of a reframe.

So he reframed some of the lies and fake news as not just lies and fake news, which doesn't really activate your brain because lies and fake news when it comes to politics just feels like the baseline.

There's like there's nothing to talk about there.

But as soon as you call it a hoax, it your brain says, "Wait a minute.

Are you telling me they knew they were doing it?

There were a lot of people involved and they ran it for a long time like a hoax and Yes.

Right.

So once that reframe kicked in and then and then Cernovich did a documentary film that I loved called Hoax still available I think.

Um I think he got he got semicled but I think you can buy it now.

Um all right so that's stage one.

So somebody who knew a lot about persuasion knew that that word hoax would allow a little extra traction in explaining to people what was going on, which is the Democrats were running hoaxes.

Well, I also tried to boost that word as much as possible because, as you know, I have a background in hypnosis and persuasion.

And I too recognized that it was a more powerful word for getting the point across.

But then I realized also that if I put all of the hoaxes that the Democrats have done on a list and labeled that list the hoax list, then it would reframe again that it wasn't just something they do, but it was the operating system of the Democrats.

basically that pretty much everything they did was one hoax after another.

And that was, you know, a more extreme version than just saying they do some hoaxing.

It's like here's the list.

I also knew that if the list got passed around, um, then other people it would be easy to meme because it was just bullet point lists and people would add to it and it would it would spread.

So I put out the hoax list and it spread all over the place and people copied it which is fine and they added to it and they built websites with it etc.

So I knew that that would make a difference and then uh this is something that my regular audience knows but maybe if you knew you don't know this.

Um it was probably 2019 or so.

I may have their year wrong, but what was the first time you heard me tell you that the fine people hoax, you one of the many hoaxes?

Do you remember the first time I told you it was what I called the tentpole hoax?

How many of you remember that?

I called it the tentpole hoax.

Meaning that if you could if you could debunk that one hoax, just that one, the entire tent of the Democratic Party would collapse.

Now, that was not true of the other hoaxes.

Now, why was it that I believed that that one hoax could collapse the whole thing?

It's because I have a background in hypnosis and a background in persuasion.

So, I recognize that one as the most important one.

That if you could make that one disappear, that it would open people's eyes to the fact that the media is colluding, literally colluding with Democrats to sell you hoaxes and that that would open your eyes to all the other things being, hey, maybe these are hoaxes, too.

And then the whole tent would collapse.

So, working with uh Steve Cortez and Joel Pollock especially, um I I considered us the three horsemen, every time the Democrats brought that up again and it appeared on a clip or in a quote, one of the three of us would contact the other two and say, you know, by DMs usually, uh they're doing it again.

And then I would I would post my response to it saying it was a hoax and link to things that proved it was a hoax.

And Steve Cortez um made a very viral video in which he debunked the hoax.

Uh Joel was writing for and still is writing for Breitbart so Breitbart's audience would see it and he he he'd also posted on X.

So with the three of us just hammering on that thing for years, it started to spread and then other people would say, "Oh, where where was that link you had where you debunked it?" And then everybody had the link.

So that didn't break through.

Um, and it we just kept hammering on it, the three of us.

And you would see people like Greg Guffeld who would, you know, call it the fine people hoax and debunk it.

And uh I think Tim P was probably there fast.

So there were lots of other people who were very important to the spreading of the knowledge that it was a hoax.

Finally, when Snopes, this was about one year ago, when Snopes debunked it, and Snopes is a left-leaning fact check site.

Um, that was the point when the bubble burst.

And the bubble was believing that the news ever told you the truth.

Do you remember that um Joe Rogan said that the Fine People hoax had a big impact on him?

Do you remember that Elon Musk said that when he learned the fine people thing was a hoax, it it allowed it basically freed him to be able to support Trump?

Do you think that made a difference that Joe Rogan and Musk found out that those were hoaxes and said it publicly and said it multiple times?

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

Jack Bazobic that there there a number of other names were very important in you know promoting the the solution that it was a hoax.

So I would argue that Trump's uh successful secondterm run um was probably because of those guys and a lot of other people.

I believe that the the so-called tech bros of Silicon Valley I believe.

Yeah, Bill Aman is another one who mentioned that when he learned that that was a hoax, it allowed him it freed him to be able to support Trump.

So without that, I don't believe that those very powerful and rich people would have felt free to support somebody who had ever said something about the fine people.

But once they realized it was a hoax, I think it made them mad because they had been duped.

And I think it made them more serious about uh, you know, jumping in and not being afraid to say, "Hey, look." Now, if you were to look at the polling for the Democrat party, would you say that it would be fair to say that it collapsed?

Do you think it's fair to say that the entire tent of the Democrat party collapsed?

And the answer is yes.

Yes, it did.

The entire thing collapsed.

And if you were to trace it back, I don't believe it would have necessarily collapsed without the Fine People hoax being debunked.

I think that was actually critical to Trump getting reelected.

And to do that, you know, backing up again, uh, it required somebody to have the knowledge of persuasion to know that that was the tenpole.

If you didn't know it was the tenpole, you wouldn't go after it as beaverike as I did.

I mean, I was like a wild beaver on that tenpole.

Tenpole and I just chewed on that freaking thing for what, five years?

whatever it was and Steve Cortez and Joel Pollock, you know, Guffeld, Basabek, you know, I think Tim P was there early as well and there were a bunch of others.

Um, if I didn't mention anybody, it's not it's not intentional.

Uh, but, uh, got it done.

So, I would argue that the knowledge of how brains are organized and and what works and what doesn't is what allowed Mike Cernovich to know that that word hoax was extra powerful.

My knowledge of hypnosis and persuasion allowed me to say, you know, if we turned it into a list, it's going to spread.

And it also allowed me to say that's the tenpole of all the ones.

All the others could just be debunked and you say, "Oh, wow.

That was messed up.

I used to believe that, but now I don't.

But that one was different from all the rest." And I I recognize that.

Um, and the other people working on it hard probably recognized it as well.

So, I told you I was going to tell you how powerful hypnosis is.

It's not that you put somebody into a trance.

That's just something that a hypnotist does with one subject.

But what the hypnotist learns is the irrationality of the human brain and and what things influence it more than other things.

And then you take that and it works into all of your other communication and profession and person your personal life and everything else.

Uh people tease me and they say, "Did you become a hypnotist because it would help you in dating?" To which I say, "Yes, yes, that's exactly why I did it." But not just dating.

I knew it would help me professionally and in in every way.

Basically, once you understand how brains work and that it's not the way you thought and that you can make changes sometimes to very small things that can ripple through the entire system.

Now, could I have picked any other topic and use my hypnosis skill to get as big a result?

And the answer is no.

No, you the key was not just working on it.

The key was knowing it was the thing to work on.

That's what I brought to the party.

I knew it was the thing to work on.

The work is what, you know, anybody could have done.

I didn't use any special hypnosis to make a list of hoaxes.

I just happened to know that that was where the lever was.

So we just found out that uh Trump even according to his critics had the most productive first six months of any president.

We have seen amazing amounts of change.

Most of which I would say is really positive.

How much of that would have happened if Trump had not been elected?

None of it.

Would he have been elected without those people who were freed from their fine fine people hoax prison?

I don't think it would have happened without freeing their minds so that they would be fully engaged on his behalf.

And I don't think any of that would have happened without it being a list and without that actual word that Mike Cernovich first popularized hoax.

These are all connected.

You can see the through line all the way.

So if you're wondering how powerful is knowing hypnosis, I won't tell you that every hypnotist could have done that.

You know, everybody takes their own learning away from this the skill.

But it is that powerful.

Now, the question you might want to ask next is, have you done that more than once?

Where you saw something that you can make a small tweak to and it would ripple through the entire system and change the world.

And the answer is, of course, I have.

You just don't know them all.

Of course I have.

Did I know it would work?

I did.

I knew it would work.

I just knew that I had to hammer on it, you know, continuously and have lots of help, right?

The the lots of help part was the key.

All right.

Um, what else have I implanted in you, you ask?

All right.

We'll talk separately about the pure bloods.

uh when I reframe them as having TDS, uh you're going to hate that, but eventually I will win you over and we will free them from their mental prison, which I believe they're in.

Um small tweak to US policy toward funding funding what?

Gaza bombing.

You know, I've told you before that um I'm not trying to influence anything in the Middle East.

So, I really am not.

So, I'm not not trying to have any influence in the Middle East whatsoever because it's not my country.

So, I observe and I predict, but I am not trying to change things in the Middle East.

Um I I might try to change things in America for the better, but no, that's not my region.

So, they're going to have to work that out themselves.

All right, that's all I got for now.

I'm going to talk to the locals people, my beloved subscribers on locals.

The rest of you, thanks for joining and I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

And locals will be private in 30

Let's see if stocks are cooperating.

Yeah, little bit.

Little bit. We got lots of seat in the

front. Grab a chair. Put a cat in your

lap

and then we'll go wild. All right. But

first, got to make sure I can see your

comments

and then we'll be in good shape. Come

on, comments.

really not working.

All right. Well, I guess I don't need to

see those. All right. They're working

now. Now it's working.

Good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization.

It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time. But if

you'd like to see if you can elevate

your experience to levels that nobody

could even understand with their tiny

shiny human brains. Well, all you need

for that is a copper, a mugger, a glass,

a tanker shell, or Stein, a canteen, jug

or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it

with your favorite liquid. I like

coffee. And join me now for the

unparallel pleasure. The dopamine of the

day, the thing that makes everything

better. It's called the simultaneous

sip. And it happens. Now go.

Oh, so good. So good.

Uh, well, I saw a little uh exchange on

X between Elon Musk and his brother

Kimble.

And uh Kimble said that uh once you

start letting uh the full full

self-driving supervised drive for you in

your Tesla uh doing a long distance trip

with them feels like going back to the

dark ages and Elon agreed. Now, I think

this is the biggest story about

self-driving cars

that everybody who tries it is instantly

addicted. Maybe not for every trip and

every use, but

for sure people who try it like it. So,

today I believe there's some earnings

reports. Tesla will be coming out soon.

I don't know if that's today or not.

But uh I don't know. It feels like the

biggest thing you need to know is that

once you try it, you can't live without

it. That feels that feels important.

Um,

in other news,

um, according to interesting

engineering,

there's, uh, something called the

Phoenix system for car batteries, I

guess batteries in general, in which

they're making them selfhealing.

So instead of your battery wearing out

and having to be disposed,

they're they're making a battery that

can sense what part of it is maybe a

future problem and it repairs it on its

own. It's a self-healing battery. So,

it's not available yet, but the

researchers seem to have cracked the

code and they know it make it

self-healing, which would double

the uh time you could use it. Now, um

when people say they oppose electric

cars,

they might have more than one reason,

but the biggest reason I hear is limits

in the battery. And there are probably a

100 different labs around the world

working on battery improvement. So I

would be very surprised

if electric cars go away.

Um at the same time you're worried about

the uh the rare earth minerals. Well,

um, per a historian in New Atlas,

Joe Salis is writing that, uh, there's a

company called Conifer,

Conifer,

um, in which they they're making

electric motors without those rare earth

magnets. They're using, uh, less rare

magnets, I guess. Now, apparently, this

is something that people have tried

before. This not the first time somebody

tried to make better electric motors

with without those rare earth batteries,

rare earth magnets. But this company

seems to be um successful at least in

their prototype. So

we might find a workaround for some of

those rare earth materials and your

batteries might last twice as long

pretty soon. Well, the largest cruise

ship in the world is launching. The uh

Royal Caribbean has it and it's uh has

20 decks

and uh 5,000 passengers.

Um 5,000 passengers on one ship. Wow.

And it's about to set sail. Um, so I

wondered how far away are we from being

able to live full-time at sea, you know,

sea studying. So I looked at what it

would cost you to just live on that ship

full-time.

And if you had a nice little uh suite,

it would cost you about $60,000

per month.

So, you know, the economics could

probably fall a little bit more.

Um,

we might have a good earnings season

because apparently

uh 83% of S&P 500 companies believe that

they're uh are expecting higher than

expected earnings. They're expecting

higher than expected. That's a bad

sentence. But um according to the Wall

Street Journal, we're probably in for a

good earnings season. That will be good

for stocks hypothetically.

Here's a story I don't believe at all.

Uh according to futurism

uh Victor Tangerine is writing that

Chinese scientists have invented a

system for extracting oxygen, water and

rocket fuel from moon dust.

Do you believe

that there are Chinese scientists who

figured out how to take the dust from

the moon? You know, this this is the

purpose of it is if you want a moon

base, it's uh too expensive to send

water up there. So, you'd have to find

it somehow. But there are no bodies of

water on the moon that we know of. So,

allegedly, Chinese scientists have

invented a system for turning the

surface of the moon, the moon dust, into

all of these things, oxygen, water, and

rocket fuel. Do you believe that?

Doesn't that sound a little Sputnik like

where maybe China is gaslighting us

about what they can invent? I think uh

most of my stories about new inventions

are about Chinese inventors.

And there might be a little exaggerating

going on or a little a little optimism.

So, I'm going to go on record as saying

I do not believe Chinese scientists can

turn moon dust into oxygen, water, and

rocket fuel. I do not believe that,

but it's in the news.

Um, New Atlas also reports that the FDA

is getting closer to approving a

fatmelting

uh shot that you can put wherever you

have a special fat problem.

So, if you didn't want to remove the fat

everywhere in your body, but you had a

little around your love handles or

whatever, they could just give you a

shot and it would melt away allegedly in

your problem area.

So, that's probably what happened to uh

Adam Schiff. I feel like he fell down

and accidentally stabbed himself with

one of these and then his fat head

shrunk to the size of a raisin.

That's true. Yeah, Adam Schiff's head is

the size of a raisin. It looks bigger on

TV, but it's really the size of a

raisin.

Um well according to a u new report

u from a organization called do no harm

they looked at 23 uh public medical

schools in 2024 and found out that

they're still discriminating against uh

white applicants.

Um,

now are you surprised that most of the

medical schools are still openly

discriminating against white applicants?

No, you're probably not surprised

because it's exactly what you expected.

But my question is this, um, is this

calculated in reparations?

I mean, seriously,

it's been what, 40 years of direct

discrimination against white applicants

for corporate jobs and college and

everything else. Um,

if you calculated reparations, wouldn't

you have to include this as as money

that's already paid? Yes, of course you

do. Obviously, you do. I'm not sure that

reparations is cash positive at this

point. I've got a feeling that somebody

owes me money. And literally, I mean

that if you did the numbers, I believe

you would find that I'm owed.

But nobody's going to do that

calculation, so we don't have to worry

about it. Well, Pete Buddha Judge's uh

Department of Transportation allegedly

spent $80 billion on DEI grants

um and did not did not upgrade air

traffic control, which as you know is at

an emergency level of dangerous.

Um do you believe that?

I'm going to say I don't believe that he

he used half of his budget on DEI

initiatives.

$80 billion.

There's something wrong with that story,

isn't there?

Yeah. You're you're automatically

believing, oh, he said billion, but what

he meant was million, right? Well,

that's what I thought when I read the

story. I thought it can't be 80 billion.

It must be 80 million, right? But it

does say billion. Uh I'm going to say I

don't believe that story. I do not

believe that he he gave out uh $80

billion in a DEI grants.

No, I don't believe that. I got to say

no on that. I saw a post by uh ex user

cre

which I'm mispronouncing sorry that uh

China's largest ship builder built more

ships if you go by tonnage

than America has built in total since

World War II. That's just one ship

builder.

So China is just building ships like

crazy.

uh many of them are military but many of

them are not

and I remember I remember feeling that

America could build things and now I

think we really don't know how to build

things we just don't have that skill

anymore and why exactly does China need

that many ships is it because they want

to control the ocean

Probably probably

um we'll we'll see what happens there.

Um Trump is saying that the Wall Street

Journal reporting is fake when it

reported that Scott Bent Basent um

explained to Trump that if he fired

Jerome Powell from the Fed, the markets

would react and go down. And Trump is

reminding us that no one needed to

explain to me that that would be bad for

the market. That being firing the Fed

chief if he did it. Um and uh and then

then Trump said Scott Basant doesn't

explain to me the market will crash if

Powell was fired. People don't explain

to me. I explained to them.

Now, I remember a time when this would

be obnoxious,

but but uh one of the things you'll

learn is that if people are really

really consistent with how they are, you

just get used to them. Can you imagine

anybody else posting that? There's

nobody else who can say, "Uh, nobody

explains to me, I explain to them."

But it works for him. it works. You

know, it's a it's so uh compatible with

everything else he says and does that

you just go, "Oh, all right." Well, I

will uh give you this useful tip. The

fakest,

least likely to be true news stories are

the ones that tell you that somebody

knows a private conversation that

happened when they weren't there. Those

are rarely true in both directions. It's

not just a Republican thing or a

Democrat thing. Um, if you read a news

story about what somebody said behind

closed doors in the White House, it's

probably not true. That that stuff is

just never passes the sniff test. So, I

would agree with Trump that he probably

did not need anybody to explain to him

that firing the head of the Fed would

royal the markets. Yeah, I feel like he

would have known that. So, I'm going to

side with Trump in saying that feels

like a fake feels like fake news. Don't

know for sure.

Well, Keith Ulberman,

um, who used to be my mascot,

uh, cuz he would always say bad things

about me, but, uh, he's now he's now

weighed in on, uh, the Steven Colbear

firing. And he says, uh, that's not

because of anything with Trump. He goes,

sorry, that's not what happened there.

Yeah, if it had, they wouldn't be

keeping him on until May. So, even Keith

Overberman

um is rejecting the fake news, the

newest hoax, newest hoax from the left

that uh Trump is the reason that Colbear

was fired.

And I'd have to agree,

well, I don't know if I agree with the

reason they're keeping him on is because

he has a contract until May. So,

I don't know. I feel like you might you

might keep him on till the end of his

contract. No, no matter why you fired

him, maybe.

Um, so I'm not sure if right, but it's

notable that he's not agreeing with his

own side.

Well, Thomas Massie tells us that 79% of

Americans support releasing all the

Epstein files. But only 16 members of

Congress have sponsored the legislation

to do so. Now, does that surprise you?

Um,

uh, doesn't surprise me

because Congress doesn't seem to give

people what they want, nor should it.

Allergies killed me. Sorry. Um, Congress

does what's good for Congress. So

apparently

um the majority of members of Congress

don't believe it would be good to

release the Epstein files.

Or maybe they just want to stay out of

it.

Um they could pay out his contract and

leave him off TV. Colbear, they could.

Um so that's why I don't want to I don't

want to agree with.

So what do you think of that? Why would

it be that eight out of 10 um citizens

want to see the Epstein files, but only

16 members of Congress? There are a lot

of people in Congress and only 16 of

them are in favor of uh this. But maybe

it's has more to do with being a sponsor

or not being a sponsor. So, they might

be supporting it but not wanting to

sponsor it. I suppose that's the thing.

We don't know. But

um I have a

suggestion.

This is a bad suggestion, but maybe

it'll make you think of a better one.

You know how I've been saying that Trump

has cleverly monetized the Ukraine war

by saying that America won't be giving

anybody anything, but if Europe wants to

buy our weapons,

then we'll sell them to them.

So basically, Trump just turned the war

into a profit center for the United

States, which I'm a little bit impressed

with. If you can't end it, and he tried,

you might as well monetize it. And

likewise, he monetized the fentinel

overdo overdose deaths by using as an

excuse to raise the uh tariffs on, you

know, China and Canada, too. and I think

Mexico.

So that's uh two examples where he had

these unsolvable problems that he just

monetized.

And I hate I hate that even if I don't

like what he's doing. I can't be mad

about him monetizing it for the country.

There there's something awesome about

that. But I'm going to take that to the

next level. I wonder if you could

monetize

deportations

um or the you know the illegal immigrant

problem. Here's what I mean. I would not

monetize

um getting rid of the criminal elements,

the ones who have committed crimes

beyond coming to the country illegally.

Um you just have to do that. But what

happens when those people have largely

been deported and the people that you

see deported next have been uh

hardworking citizens of the United

States for decades.

How are we all going to feel about that?

And my my question is this and remember

this is the bad suggestion. So, if you

could come up with a better suggestion

that maybe something I say reminds you

of a better idea, that would be great.

I feel as if it would be nice if you

could monetize

um the the keeping and the not deporting

some of the people who have just done a

great job of being, you know, good solid

citizens.

For example, if you said to some wealthy

Democrats, "Here's the deal. Um, we're

going to deport your your maid or

something, and what if the American

citizen could say, "What? Um, I would be

very sad if you deport my my maid. Um,

how about if I offer to put up a bond?"

So, I will or or maybe there's some

special tax. What if

Um, people had the option of saying,

"All right, for $20,000

paid to the Treasury of the United

States or maybe even paid to Border

Patrol, um,

that uh, they can stay, but they would

have to be having been here for 20 years

or some number of time, and they would

have to have jobs, and they would have

to have no criminal records and stuff.

Could you monetize it?

No, deport them all. All right. Well,

here's the thing.

It wouldn't be many people and the

people who were not deported would be

the people who had made a life and acted

like Americans.

Um, I feel as though it's not a crisis

yet, but very soon it will be a crisis

where there will be a lot of people who

say, "All right, all right, you have now

deported enough people." And then there

will be another group of people, tens of

millions of them, who will say, "What?

No. I voted for deporting all of them.

You're not done." Could you find a

middle ground by saying, "All right,

we'll keep some people if somebody puts

down a really large payment to keep them

in the country." I don't know. Now, like

I say, that's not a good idea because I

don't know if the numbers would work or

if enough people would actually want to,

you know, take a chance on that. But

maybe maybe might be a way to do it. All

right. There's a a US firm has unveiled

a 300 horsepower robot boat that can

hunt enemy vessels. Interesting.

Engineering has a story. It's called

Venom. It's 9 meters and can do multi-m

missions and it's just a robot boat.

Remember my prediction that uh wars will

be fought just by robots against robots.

I can't imagine being a human sailor on

an ocean during a war when there are

drones and drone boats that are un

unmanned and plentiful that are coming

to get you. I feel like, you know, we're

heading toward a time when having a

human on the ocean is a bad idea in a

variety of different ways. So maybe

that'll that'll be a big deal, maybe.

Um, also from interesting engineering,

the first humanoid robot

uh that can change its own battery.

So, of course, that's coming out of

China. Another Chinese robot company, UB

Tech,

uh, has created the Walker S2.

So, the humanoid robot when it gets low

on battery can go over and just swap its

battery out and uh, keep on working.

That's pretty cool. So, apparently it

can have two batteries at the same time,

but it only needs one to run. So, it's

got two places for batteries basically.

So, you can hot swap them. That's a big

deal. So, that your household robot

someday will be able to go all day. It

would be a giant pain in the ass if you

got addicted to have a a household

robot, but the household robot needed, I

don't know, 10 hours to charge.

And you you'd just always be mad. It's

like, h, it's charging again. So, you

need that hot swap.

Well, uh, Howard Lutnik in the

administration says that more trade

deals are coming this week. So, this is

going to be a a big week for trade

deals. We don't know which ones, but uh,

as I've told you, the beauty of Trump's

approach is that they'll be able to

announce new successes

um, almost every week.

And the Democrats really didn't see this

coming. I don't think I don't think they

saw it coming that now there would just

be hundreds of countries that would be

agreeing with the United States a few

per week and they all look like success.

Um,

so here's the more uh generic Democrat

messaging failure.

As you know, the Democrats are not big

on policy. They just like to insult

Republicans and they think that's enough

to get them elected and mostly insulting

Trump. So, Beetto Oorc was on State of

the Union CNN.

And here's some advice he's giving

Democrats. Now, I want you to listen to

how useless this advice is.

They all have useless advice.

uh quote, "I think that Democrats have

been so scared of being branded as

hypocrites or coloring outside the

lines."

First of all, his assumption is

ridiculous. Do you think Democrats have

been scared of being branded as

hypocrites?

Not one. So, he's starting out with a

completely ridiculous assumption.

There's no Democrats who have been

scared of being branded as hypocrites.

That's not a thing.

um or coloring outside the lines. No,

there are no Democrats who are worried

about coloring outside the lines. That's

not a thing. But he goes on

uh that those two things have absolutely

paralyzed them in the struggle for power

in America. To which I say, struggle for

power?

Why are you calling it a struggle for

power?

Wouldn't we call it our democratic

republic where there's competition

between the sides? But no, for Betto,

it's a struggle for power.

Uh and then he says, you don't see the

other side worrying about any of that at

all. No, the reason the other side

doesn't worry about that is that these

are not things that people should worry

about.

No, nobody's worried about any of that,

nor should you be.

Um, and then he says, "We have to fight

back." Oh, there it is. So, they see

this as a fight and a power struggle.

They don't even mention better policies.

It's not even on the list.

And then he says, "We cannot roll over.

We cannot play dead." So, how much of

that advice is useful?

Um, Democrats, um, I I think you've been

scared too long of being branded as

hypocrites.

So, stop being branded as Stop being

afraid of being branded as hypocrites.

To which I say, that's all you got.

That's it.

It it's almost comically absurd that the

Democrats best, you know, players, they

have nothing.

All they have is this struggle thing.

The struggle, the fight, the, you know,

the authoritarian,

they got nothing.

Mayor uh Bass

from uh LA. Um she's talking about all

the uh the deportations and she says,

quote, "I am just hoping that this reign

of terror ends. I'm hoping that we can

get back to normal."

The reign of terror.

That is that her policy? So her policy

preference is to wait out the reign of

terror.

What kind of advice is that?

Uh, what should you do, Democrats? Well,

well, don't be afraid of being a

hypocrite. Make sure you color outside

the lines and wait until the reign of

terror ends.

All of it is ridiculous.

They are so far away from any kind of

common sense understanding of the

country or even pretending even

pretending that their job is to make the

country better off. It it's all about

this struggle, this fight, this

hypocrisy, this authoritarianism, the

oligarchs. It's all empty. Just pure

empty rhetoric.

Meanwhile, uh Trump

put out uh I guess he posted on Truth

Social a meme which involved uh Obama

being handcuffed and taken away.

Now

in normal circumstances

and were not normal circumstances I

would say oh my god even though I like

Trump I would have said you can't show

handcuffing and taking away and

arresting the prior you know a prior

president. You can't do that. That's way

over the line.

Except

this is the week that the uh Democrats

and Tulsi Gabbard are or the Republicans

and Tulsi Gabbard are all talking about

how now the documentation has proven

that Obama and Brennan and Clapper and

Susan Rice were all part of a multi-year

plan to act as though Russia had been

helping Trump or at least you know or

maybe colluding with there was no

evidence of that. Um, and that it was an

attempt to run a gigantic hoax

that would overthrow the government of

the United States.

And

apparently there must be some laws that

were broken by that. It seems like it. I

don't know which ones. But my uh my old

feeling that you can't just act like

you're going to arrest the old

president. That would be the worst thing

in the world.

But the reason I would be opposed to

that was that I wouldn't want it to

escalate and I wouldn't want the other

side once they got in power to do the

same thing.

However, apparently they've already

what we know is that they tried to

overthrow the country several times. So,

here are just a few of the things

they've done. So, of course, there was

the uh Russia collusion hoax, which at

this point is well documented to have

been a Hillary Clinton Obama

administration

hoax.

And that was definitely to overthrow the

country. And then there were two what I

would call fake impeachments against

Trump during his first term. The purpose

of which is to change the government.

Now those didn't work out, but they were

also attempts to overthrow the

government through illegitimate means.

That would be three coup attempts.

Then there was all the lawfare when

Trump was out of office. The the lawfare

was so far over the line of not

appropriate that under normal

circumstances, I would say no, you can't

lawfare them back, it'll just keep

escalating. We don't want that. But

given that they pulled out all of the

stops to go after Trump, I I think he

has a free punch. I think Trump has

every moral and ethical and probably

legal standing to arrest a lot of

Democrats.

And I'm only recently coming to this

opinion cuz even though I think they did

bad things,

I didn't think they were so bad

necessarily

that they needed to go to jail cuz it it

still felt like it was, you know, in

that weasly, you know, political realm

as opposed to criminal. But it does look

completely criminal at this point. I

mean, there were so many things they

did.

There are questions about the

assassination attempt against Trump.

Now, there may not be any direct, you

know, coordination of somebody working

with the assassin, but don't you think

the only reason that Trump was targeted

is that the Democrats have been calling

him Hitler for years? Of course. Why?

Why do they call him Hitler for years?

So that there's no limit to what people

are willing to do to get rid of Hitler.

That's why they do it. Did it work?

Well, almost. If Trump had not turned

his head, um then all of that calling

him Hitler would have resulted in his

death. Exactly like um Republicans have

been warning for years. If you keep

doing this, somebody's going to get

killed almost. So I would say that even

if they don't have a direct smoking gun

connection to the assassin that the

Democrats created the situation where

somebody would want to do that and they

were fully aware that they were doing

that creating that situation. So I would

say that's uh one, two, three, four,

five,

five um attempts to overthrow the

government, Trump government.

And then I would add to that the fine

people hoax.

The fine people hoax

um

was known to be a hoax. They obviously

knew it wasn't real. uh Biden ran on it

and

that was an attempt to overthrow the

government.

Now, of course, there's lots of, you

know, lying and hyperbole on both sides

in um when it comes to uh politics, but

the fine people hoax was really

different because it was so obvious that

it wasn't true if you just watched the

whole video. And the entire news world,

the at least the left-leaning news,

which was the mainstream news at the

time, they all supported it as being

true. Now, if you took away the fact

that the mainstream media was supporting

it as true, it would just be politicians

saying, you know, BS and we don't take

them too seriously.

But once the entire media is behind it,

then it's a RICO situation.

So, by my count, one, two, three, four,

five, six,

uh, six direct

attempts to overthrow the government. Do

I think that? And then, you know, look

what they did to Mike Flynn.

That ought to be illegal. That ought to

be really illegal. And you know, General

Flynn is uh very adamant that people

need to go to jail for what they did to

not just him, but tried to do to Trump.

And again, I was reluctant I was

reluctant to say that jail is the right

solution, but I'm all in on jail now. Um

I believe that

probably several people need to be put

in jail for a long time.

I don't know that it will happen because

we don't live in a world where that sort

of thing can easily happen,

but I do believe that the uh that the

enough bad behavior warrants it. And uh

I'm sad that I got to that point, but I

am there.

Um in a truth social post, Trump also

said that Adam Schiff is a thief.

He's calling him a thief because Adam

Schiff is accused and there's

documentation to back it up that he has

two homes, one near work in Maryland and

one in California so that he could be a

senator from California and that he's

claimed in uh bank documentations or

maybe it was something else for taxes.

uh he claimed that both of them were

primary residents which you can't have

two primary residents. So the point of

claiming that was to save some money on

taxes I believe or maybe it was on the

loan I can't remember. Um but that would

be the thievery that he lied on

documents to save money in a corrupt

illegal way. So yeah um will there be

any prosecution for that? I don't know.

But is it warranted? Absolutely. It's

absolutely warranted. Yeah. I think

Schiff should probably go to jail. And

if you look at the compilation clips of

all the things that Schiff has lied

about, especially the uh the Russia

collusion hoax and the fine people hoax

and every other hoax, the lawfare stuff

he backed. Yeah, he is a really bad

character.

Well, uh, Al, uh, Ellen DeGeneres

has apparently confirmed

that the reason she moved to the UK and

will stay there is because of Trump. So

once Trump got reelected,

uh, they were there temporarily for a

long a long period, but temporarily. And

now she says, "No, can't come back. Now

it's all so bad because of Trump."

All right. And then just when you think

Trump has found the the middle ground

and he doesn't need to be provocative

anymore because he's winning so hard. He

does a truth social in which he goes

after the Washington

um the Washington football team that's

now called the Washington Commanders but

used to be called the Washington

Redskins.

And the Washington Redskins changed

their name to the Washington Commanders

cuz you know the obvious reason that

Redskins sounds a little unwoke and we

were living in a woke world.

And u so Trump is saying that he won't

approve the stadium

um the stadium for Washington DC which

is where the Washington Commanders would

play unless they change their name back

to the Washington Redskins.

Now, I'll say again, I'm a big fan of

the president, you know, big supporter.

That's not going to I don't think that's

going to change, but I don't agree with

this.

Do Do you think that the president

should be telling a private

private uh business what they should

name their team? And do you think that

they should be punished for trying to

not offend people by having red skin in

the name, but rather come up with a a

more boring name that nobody would

complain about? I don't feel that that's

Trump's business.

Um, and if you're if you're trying to uh

make it look like it's authoritarian,

well, that looks a little bit

authoritarian, but it's not even

authoritarian for a good purpose. Is the

world going to be better off if they

change it back to

Now, uh, I think you all know that I'm

the opposite of woke. And, you know, I'm

not for every little D. thing that

somebody wants just cuz they want it.

But literally red skin was literally

about the skin.

About the skin color. Why does the skin

color of some people have to be in the

product name?

I can kind of see why if you were Native

American, maybe you'd say, "Hey,

you know, why are you talking about my

skin color? That's not the important

part.

So, I don't think that was ever

intended to be a endearing an endearing

uh label for the Native Americans. So,

if they don't like it, um I'm not in

favor of changing it back.

And then Trump threw in the Cleveland

Indians into the the same conversation.

Now, that one's a little different.

Um, the word Indian should not be

anybody's insult. It's just that um, if

the Native Americans don't like that

particular label,

I feel like everybody should get to be

able to pick their own label, don't you?

Do you think that it's inappropriate

that every group gets to say, "All

right, there are a lot of things you can

call us, but just don't use this word,

you know, don't use the nword." I've

never complained about that. Um, I feel

like it's completely reasonable that if

black Americans say, you know, the

n-word is that's those are fighting

words. Okay. But doesn't everybody else

get to do that, too?

If uh if I complained about being called

a cracker,

shouldn't I have the ability to say,

"All right, it bothers me too much if

you call me a cracker." Those are

fighting words. Yes. I mean, it doesn't

happen to bother me too much, so I

wouldn't fight over it. But if I did, if

it did bother me, I would want you to

respect that. So, I feel as if every

group should have a few vetos over what

they're called. You know, if you wanted

to call Jewish Americans by, you know,

the one of the insult words, should you

have the right to do it because it's a

free country. Well, maybe technically in

the sense of the Constitution giving you

that right, but it would be perfectly

reasonable for Jewish Americans to say,

could you not use that word? you know,

may maybe don't put that on a sign.

Perfectly reasonable.

So,

that's my take. Well, here's some good

news. Pope Leo

the 14th,

um, he's come out against, uh, killing

people in Gaza. So, he's against

violence. So, those of you who thought

that the new pope might be making a

break with uh president and coming out

in favor of random violence, he's not.

No, no, he's against violence. So, he

won't say ceasefire in Gaza. Now, I

would point out that the pope is not

into the nuance of the uh let's say

defensive necessity of the area. So,

it's a bit of a half opinion, but uh

it's always good to know that the Pope

is against war. He's always against it.

Well, on Face the Nation, acting ICE

director Todd Lions

um says that uh that ICE will be going

after um companies that knowingly hire

undocumented immigrants.

Now, if you believed

that um the current immigration

um effort by Trump was too slow, well,

that might be changing really quickly

because it seems to me if you threatened

only only the um immigrants themselves,

only the migrants,

then they might say, "Well, it's still

worth it. and if I get deported, I'll

just end up back where I was. So that's

not the worst thing in the world.

Um, so you can you can slow down

immigration, illegal immigration, by

threatening the people who are doing it,

but their downside isn't that far down

as long as they have not committed other

crimes. It's just going back to where

they were. But if you threaten the

businesses who absolutely know that they

have some illegal people on the payroll,

they know. Now, usually they have to,

you know, check to see if they do have

ID.

And they're not supposed to be experts

in knowing what is fake ID and what's

not. So, currently,

um, companies are not prosecuted as long

as they check the ID, even if it was

fake.

However, if that changes and you

actually see reports of um employers who

are saying, "Okay, we're going to

absolutely stop hiring any uh immigrants

because we don't want that risk." Or

possibly, remember I always tell you

that insurance is the most predictive

thing in our world. If ins if insurance

companies say I'm not going to cover

that situation,

then you know change is coming, right?

But if the insurance companies say,

"Yeah, we'll still cover that." Then

maybe not much is going to change. But

imagine if you will that you provide

some kind of business insurance or even

loans to a business and you find out

that uh ICE is closing down those

businesses that know they have illegal

aliens,

would you sell them insurance?

Would you give them a loan? And would

the business take that risk when the

alternative is to hire local people? was

just harder.

Well, it seems to me that uh if you

start going after the businesses, you

can absolutely eliminate illegal

migration because the businesses

are not going to take the business risk

and

that is the sensitive lever here. So,

watch for that.

As soon as you see uh as soon as you see

a bunch of news stories about business

owners who were jailed or fined or the

business went out of business because

they had illegal aliens, as soon as that

happens, and I haven't seen any of those

stories, but as soon as it happens, it

looks like it's going to

um there's going to be a massive change

and all the all the businesses will say,

um, we did pay attention to the news and

the news says that businesses like ours

is are going to be closed down if we

keep hiring, you know, undocumented

people. They will stop

right away. When I got cancelled, most

of you know that story. It wasn't

because

um every person who reads a comic

canceled me. And it wasn't because um

individual bookstores or individual

newspapers decided that um they didn't

want to work with me. It was because the

the most um the biggest leverage was the

syndication company and the publisher.

It was real easy to lean on them and

then once you lean on the publisher,

it's not in any bookstore. So, I thought

I was a little bit safe free speech wise

that even if a newspaper here or there

can Dilbert, well, there was still 2,000

that didn't, so it was no big deal.

But when my counselors realized they

could go after the publisher and go

after the syndication company, there

were only two people that they needed to

convince to cancel me and they put

pressure on them and they canled me

immediately.

So similarly, if ICE puts pressure on

the businesses,

it's going to make a big difference

really quickly.

All right. Trump's approval, apparently,

according to polls, has fallen since

February. Um, a lot of the tariff stuff

and the immigration stuff seemed to be

the main cause, but it was 53% in

February. It's 42% now. I forget which

poll that was.

um and that public support for

deportation is falling as you might

expect as there are more stories in the

news of um

that that would make you empathetic

toward the people being deported.

Uh but Republicans, if you look at only

Republicans, they remain solidly behind

the president. So the president has not

lost his base pretty much at all. Uh but

it looks like some independents and

maybe some crossover Democrats said,

"No, we will run back to our corner and

stop supporting him."

Well, did you know according to news

nation Anna Kum Kuiman is reporting that

uh Big A, the big agricultural companies

are funding um efforts

for various, you know, smaller

organizations that you wouldn't know are

being funded by the big act. They're

going after the Make America Healthy

campaigns and they're paying for fake

science so they can continue doing their

unhealthy things. According to uh

according to the Make America Healthy

Again people, they would be unhealthy.

But uh so the industry

um there are industry groups like Crop

Life

and some others and they're going to be

arguing to keep things the way they are.

Um did you know uh also according to

News Nation's report there um that Bayer

Monsanto has faced over a 100,000

lawsuits over its fertilizer.

100 thou not fertilizer, pesticide. A

100,000 lawsuits over its pesticide. And

how many has it settled? Um 11 billion

in settlements.

Now, they still claim

that uh they have a safe product, but

there have been a 100,000 lawsuits

against them, and they've already

settled 11 billion that they paid out.

Doesn't that kind of suggest

doesn't that suggest to you that maybe

there's a problem here? I don't know,

but there's a lot of winning in court.

And then uh there's a Chinese study that

found out that if you have cancer and

you get chemotherapy

um under some conditions, and I don't

know how widespread this is, the chemo

can speed up the spread of cancer to the

rest of your body.

Just just listen to that. Chemo, the the

main thing that is recommended for every

kind of cancer, it seems,

might be spreading up the spread of the

cancer. That's according to this Chinese

study.

Okay, I don't know if it's true, but

that would be horrifying. Um, you know

how I always say, wait until you find

out about climate models?

Uh, I'm gonna add to that. Wait until

you find out about chemotherapy.

There is something coming down the road.

I don't know of a specific thing, but I

can tell you from my own research that

there's going to be

probably sometime in the next few years,

if not sooner, there's going to be big

stories about chemotherapy.

And that's all I know for sure because I

don't want to be sued. Uh, and I don't

want to convince people to stop taking

it if it's going to be good for them.

But there are going to be some things

you find out about chemo that won't make

you happy at all. That's that's my

prediction.

Well, according to Yale Environment 360,

there's a new study that says a drop in

air pollution mostly in Asia. I guess

the the Asian countries are getting some

of their air pollution under control. Uh

they still have a big problem but some

of it's reduced. Uh but that reduction

in air pollution allegedly drove a surge

in warming. So I guess the pollution was

helping to cool the uh the earth maybe

from reflecting the sun or something.

And uh as we continue to improve the

quality of air, it should be it should

cause an uptick in uh temperature. Now,

how many times have I told you that

there was something that a scientist

just discovered that was influencing the

temperature that was not already in the

climate models quite a few times, right?

If you if you're one of my regulars, it

comes up a lot. To which I say, wait

till you find out about climate models.

And sooner or later, and I don't think

it'll be too far in the future, sooner

or later, there's going to be a big

expose whistleblower who's going to tell

you, "Of course the climate models are

not accurate, and we always knew it, but

we did it anyway.

[Music]

All right. So, I don't think any climate

models had that pollution thing built in

there.

All right. I got uh two different

topics.

One is I could tell you the power of

hypnosis

um at a scale

and how big that is. Or

I could tell you that the pure bloods

are basically another form of mental

illness like TDS. Which one would you

like to hear? So, and I'll only do one.

So, it's either the power of hypnosis

at a mass population scale or

uh hypnosis. All right. Good choice.

All right, let me take you on a little

uh a little trip. All right, pay

attention because you're going to have

to connect all these dots, right? So,

some time ago, I think it was during the

first Trump administration,

you first heard the word hoax being used

in a political realm. Do you remember

that? Do you remember the first time

somebody said, "Hey, those Democrats are

running a hoax." Well, I'm not sure if

Mike Cernovich came up with that word

for that context first, but I believe he

was the main promoter of that word

to be brought into the political

context. Now, Mike Cernovich is also

well-versed in persuasion and hypnosis

and that's I would call that sort of a

reframe.

So he reframed some of the lies and fake

news as not just lies and fake news,

which doesn't really activate your brain

because lies and fake news when it comes

to politics just feels like the

baseline. There's like there's nothing

to talk about there. But as soon as you

call it a hoax, it your brain says,

"Wait a minute. Are you telling me they

knew they were doing it? There were a

lot of people involved and they ran it

for a long time like a hoax and Yes.

Right. So once that reframe kicked in

and then and then Cernovich did a

documentary film that I loved called

Hoax still available I think. Um I think

he got he got semicled

but I think you can buy it now. Um all

right so that's stage one. So somebody

who knew a lot about persuasion knew

that that word hoax

would allow a little extra traction in

explaining to people what was going on,

which is the Democrats were running

hoaxes.

Well, I also tried to boost that word as

much as possible because, as you know, I

have a background in hypnosis and

persuasion. And I too recognized that it

was a more powerful word for getting the

point across. But then I realized also

that if I put all of the hoaxes that the

Democrats have done on a list and

labeled that list the hoax list,

then it would reframe again that it

wasn't just something they do, but it

was the operating system of the

Democrats. basically that pretty much

everything they did was one hoax after

another.

And that was, you know, a more extreme

version than just saying they do some

hoaxing. It's like here's the list. I

also knew that if the list got passed

around,

um, then other people it would be easy

to meme because it was just bullet point

lists and people would add to it and it

would it would spread. So I put out the

hoax list and it spread all over the

place and people copied it which is fine

and they added to it and they built

websites with it etc.

So I knew that that would make a

difference and then uh this is something

that my regular audience knows but maybe

if you knew you don't know this. Um it

was probably 2019 or so. I may have

their year wrong, but what was the first

time you heard me tell you that the fine

people hoax, you one of the many hoaxes?

Do you remember the first time I told

you it was what I called the tentpole

hoax? How many of you remember that? I

called it the tentpole hoax. Meaning

that if you could if you could debunk

that one hoax, just that one, the entire

tent of the Democratic Party would

collapse.

Now, that was not true of the other

hoaxes.

Now, why was it that I believed that

that one hoax could collapse the whole

thing?

It's because I have a background in

hypnosis and a background in persuasion.

So, I recognize that one as the most

important one. That if you could make

that one disappear, that it would open

people's eyes to the fact that the media

is colluding, literally colluding with

Democrats to sell you hoaxes and that

that would open your eyes to all the

other things being, hey, maybe these are

hoaxes, too. And then the whole tent

would collapse.

So, working with uh Steve Cortez and

Joel Pollock especially, um I I

considered us the three horsemen,

every time the Democrats brought that up

again and it appeared on a clip or in a

quote, one of the three of us would

contact the other two and say, you know,

by DMs usually, uh they're doing it

again. And then I would I would post my

response to it saying it was a hoax and

link to things that proved it was a

hoax. And Steve Cortez um made a very

viral video in which he debunked the

hoax. Uh Joel was writing for and still

is writing for Breitbart so Breitbart's

audience would see it and he he he'd

also posted on X. So with the three of

us just hammering on that thing for

years, it started to spread and then

other people would say, "Oh, where where

was that link you had where you debunked

it?" And then everybody had the link.

So

that didn't break through. Um, and it we

just kept hammering on it, the three of

us. And you would see people like Greg

Guffeld who would, you know, call it the

fine people hoax and debunk it. And uh I

think Tim P was probably there fast. So

there were lots of other people who were

very important to the spreading of the

knowledge that it was a hoax.

Finally,

when Snopes, this was about one year

ago, when Snopes debunked it, and Snopes

is a left-leaning fact check site. Um,

that was the point when the bubble

burst. And the bubble was believing that

the news ever told you the truth. Do you

remember that um Joe Rogan said that the

Fine People hoax had a big impact on

him?

Do you remember that Elon Musk said that

when he learned the fine people thing

was a hoax, it it allowed it basically

freed him to be able to support Trump?

Do you think that made a difference that

Joe Rogan and Musk found out that those

were hoaxes and said it publicly and

said it multiple times? Oh yeah.

Yeah. Jack Bazobic that there there a

number of other names were very

important in you know promoting the the

solution that it was a hoax.

So I would argue that Trump's uh

successful secondterm run

um was probably because of those guys

and a lot of other people. I believe

that the the so-called tech bros of

Silicon Valley I believe. Yeah, Bill

Aman is another one who mentioned that

when he learned that that was a hoax, it

allowed him it freed him to be able to

support Trump. So without that, I don't

believe that those very powerful and

rich people would have felt free to

support somebody who had ever said

something about the fine people. But

once they realized it was a hoax, I

think it made them mad because they had

been duped. And I think it made them

more serious about uh, you know, jumping

in and not being afraid to say, "Hey,

look." Now, if you were to look at the

polling

for the Democrat party, would you say

that it would be fair to say that it

collapsed?

Do you think it's fair to say that the

entire tent of the Democrat party

collapsed?

And the answer is yes. Yes, it did. The

entire thing collapsed. And if you were

to trace it back, I don't believe it

would have necessarily collapsed without

the Fine People hoax being debunked. I

think that was actually critical to

Trump getting reelected. And to do that,

you know, backing up again, uh, it

required somebody to have the knowledge

of persuasion to know that that was the

tenpole. If you didn't know it was the

tenpole,

you wouldn't go after it as beaverike as

I did. I mean, I was like a wild beaver

on that tenpole.

Tenpole

and I just chewed on that freaking thing

for

what, five years?

whatever it was and Steve Cortez and

Joel Pollock,

you know, Guffeld,

Basabek, you know, I think Tim P was

there early as well and there were a

bunch of others. Um, if I didn't mention

anybody, it's not it's not intentional.

Uh, but, uh, got it done. So, I would

argue

that the knowledge of how brains are

organized and and what works and what

doesn't is what allowed

Mike Cernovich to know that that word

hoax was extra powerful.

My knowledge of hypnosis and persuasion

allowed me to say, you know, if we

turned it into a list, it's going to

spread.

And it also allowed me to say that's the

tenpole of all the ones. All the others

could just be debunked and you say, "Oh,

wow. That was messed up. I used to

believe that, but now I don't. But that

one was different from all the rest."

And I I recognize that. Um, and the

other people working on it hard probably

recognized it as well.

So,

I told you I was going to tell you how

powerful hypnosis is.

It's not that you put somebody into a

trance. That's just something that a

hypnotist does with one subject. But

what the hypnotist learns is the

irrationality of the human brain and and

what things influence it more than other

things. And then you take that and it

works into all of your other

communication and profession and person

your personal life and everything else.

Uh people tease me and they say, "Did

you become a hypnotist because it would

help you in dating?" To which I say,

"Yes, yes, that's exactly why I did it."

But not just dating. I knew it would

help me professionally and in in every

way. Basically, once you understand how

brains work and that it's not the way

you thought and that you can make

changes sometimes to very small things

that can ripple through the entire

system. Now, could I have picked any

other topic and use my hypnosis skill to

get as big a result? And the answer is

no. No, you the key was not just working

on it. The key was knowing it was the

thing to work on. That's what I brought

to the party. I knew it was the thing to

work on. The work is what, you know,

anybody could have done. I didn't use

any special hypnosis to make a list of

hoaxes. I just happened to know that

that was where the lever was.

So

we just found out that uh Trump even

according to his critics had the most

productive first six months of any

president. We have seen amazing amounts

of change. Most of which I would say is

really positive.

How much of that would have happened if

Trump had not been elected?

None of it.

Would he have been elected without those

people who were freed from their fine

fine people hoax prison? I don't think

it would have happened without freeing

their minds so that they would be fully

engaged on his behalf.

And I don't think any of that would have

happened without it being a list and

without that actual word that Mike

Cernovich first popularized hoax. These

are all connected. You can see the

through line all the way. So if you're

wondering how powerful is knowing

hypnosis,

I won't tell you that every hypnotist

could have done that. You know,

everybody takes their own learning away

from this the skill. But it is that

powerful. Now, the question you might

want to ask next is, have you done that

more than once?

Where you saw something that you can

make a small tweak to and it would

ripple through the entire system and

change the world. And the answer is, of

course, I have. You just don't know them

all. Of course I have. Did I know it

would work? I did. I knew it would work.

I just knew that I had to hammer on it,

you know, continuously and have lots of

help, right? The the lots of help part

was the key.

All right. Um,

what else have I implanted in you, you

ask?

All right. We'll talk separately about

the pure bloods. uh when I reframe them

as having TDS,

uh you're going to hate that, but

eventually I will win you over and we

will free them from their mental prison,

which I believe they're in.

Um

small tweak to US policy toward funding

funding what? Gaza bombing.

You know, I've told you before that um

I'm not trying to influence anything in

the Middle East.

So, I really am not. So, I'm not not

trying to have any influence in the

Middle East whatsoever because it's not

my country.

So, I observe and I predict, but I am

not trying to change things in the

Middle East. Um I I might try to change

things in America for the better, but

no, that's not my region. So, they're

going to have to work that out

themselves. All right, that's all I got

for now. I'm going to talk to the locals

people, my beloved subscribers on

locals. The rest of you, thanks for

joining and I will see you tomorrow,

same time, same place.

And locals will be private in 30
