View segment →Hello everybody. Come on in. Stream on in. It's almost time for the live show you've been craving. I will get your comments working and then we'll have something. Oh yeah, now we've got something.
Good morning everyone and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass, a tankard, a goblet, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
Go.
Woody says it's the first time he's ever done this simultaneous sip. Well, now don't you feel foolish that you never did it until now? I know. I know. It is hypnotically designed to make you feel better. That's actually true. So it's not an accident that I do a simultaneous sip of your favorite beverage. And it's not an accident that I like to do it simultaneously. It's because it gives you a little bit, just a small one, free boost of dopamine. Probably dopamine. That would be my guess. But yes, you will enjoy it.
Elon Musk had some things to say. Tesla's profits or their financials came out yesterday. But among other things he has said recently that Starlink satellites will soon, well actually now can, broadcast directly to your cell phone. I suppose it depends which cell phone service you use. I don't think it's all of them yet, but you will not need to be near a cell tower. You will be able to use your phone anywhere on Earth and I believe that's already active. But you would need the right cell service.
Speaking of Elon Musk, the Cybercab estimates for what it would cost, I think it's per mile, is that it would be as low as 25 to 30 cents for driving a Cybercab. Now, you wouldn't drive it. It has no steering wheel, but it would be way cheaper than any other driving solution. And one of the reasons is that Elon explains that if you're making an automobile that's just essentially a taxi cab that doesn't have a driver, you can skip a lot of expense. So they can make them kind of cheaply. They assume that they will not have to go around corners at 80 miles an hour because nobody would do that in a taxi. Well, hopefully. So you can just remove the ability for the car to do high-end stuff because it will never do that stuff.
Production for the Cybercab is on track for volume production in 2026. And it'll be rolling out in Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada, and more. Elon says that if we execute well, Tesla has a shot at being the most valuable company in the world. The most valuable company in the world. Now that would mean car sales and Cybercabs and robots and all that, but to be the most valuable company in the world they would have to beat what? Nvidia. I think Nvidia is the most expensive company, right? Four trillion. Well, we'll see.
That would make Elon the first trillionaire. Do you think he'll get there? I feel like he will. I feel like Elon will be the first trillionaire. And that's really only four times what he already has. So if it's true that Tesla executes well with Cybercabs and with robots and more cars, could it go up by a multiple of four? Yeah, it could.
Let's see what the competition is doing over at Uber. CNBC is reporting that Uber is going to allow a new option that if you're a woman who wants to ride on Uber, you can request a woman driver. Now, that's a problem that Tesla won't have at all because they don't have a driver. Which would you prefer if you had a choice? I think I'll try to get an Uber, but I have to wait for a woman to be available. Or I will summon my Cybercab because there's no driver. I don't have to worry about it.
Uber is not looking very competitive at the moment because I don't know what your experience is, but most Uber drivers I think are male. I don't know what the ratio is, but I would guess three out of four. And sometimes it's hard enough to get a ride. Imagine how hard it would be if you had to wait for the one out of four who's a woman who has been requested by every single woman who wanted a ride. I feel like Uber may have a plan for putting themselves out of business. Doesn't look like that could work.
Elon Musk also says, quote, "Batteries are going to be a massive thing. The scale of battery demand, I think that not many people appreciate just how gigantic the scale of battery demand is." And he goes on to say that only 0.0001% of people seem to appreciate this crucial point. And that crucial point would be this: that the sustained power output from the US grid is about 1 terawatt but average usage is less than half of it. So if you add batteries to the mix you can run the power plants 24 hours a day at full capacity more than doubling the energy output per year of the United States just with batteries.
Now, every time I bring up the fact that batteries are going to be a big solution for our energy needs in the future, I'm really just cribbing from Elon Musk. And it's not that I know anything about batteries. It's just that I think he probably knows more than you know about batteries. That's my whole bit. I think he's looked into it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's researched batteries.
In other news, teens are starting to turn to AI for their companionship and it's a much bigger thing than you probably think. The teens using AI. Some of them use it all day long. Just have somebody to talk to and ask about normal stuff like for example, this is written by Jocelyn Gecker in phys.org. There's a young person named Kayla, a high school student in Kansas. She says, "No question is too small for AI." So the 15-year-old has always asked ChatGPT for stuff about back to school shopping and makeup colors and low calorie food and ideas for birthday parties, etc.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of this too far, but one of the things that I've predicted for now probably 20 years is that when it gets to the point where AI and virtual reality and robots and stuff become preferable to human contact, we're in a lot of trouble. And I would say that if you look at the quality of the average teenager, imagine trying to be friends with a teenager even if you were a teenager. Well, they wouldn't be very attentive or nice. They might be bullies. They might be judgmental. But your AI, as the teens point out, is never judgmental. It's always optimistic and it's always helpful. How is a human teenager going to compete with that? Because humans bring so many problems with them. But the AI doesn't bring any problems. It's just something you can talk to and it does what you want, the way you want it to.
So we may be approaching that point where teens say, "I don't really need a mate. I'll take care of that myself."
Here's something I'm not too surprised at. Well, maybe a little bit, but Brigitte Macron and whatever her husband's name is, what is Macron's first name in France? They're suing Candace Owens for Candace Owens' continuous claims that Brigitte Macron was born a man. So what would you bet will happen with that? It seems to me that if you did discovery, and you would have to, wouldn't Brigitte Macron need to prove that she's biologically female in order to win her case? And Candace is doubling down. Quote, "You were born a man and you will die a man. That's the point I'm making. I think you're sick. I think you're disgusting. I am fully prepared to take on this battle, meaning the lawsuit on behalf of the entire world. I'll see you in court."
Now, do you think that the Macrons would sue her unless they could easily provide, let's say, DNA that would prove she was a woman? I don't feel that they would make a big deal out of this if there was any chance they would lose. So I'm going to say that unless they're bluffing and trying to force her into settling in some way or shutting up or apologizing and I don't think that this would be a good bluff. So my best guess is that Brigitte Macron was born a woman. That's just my best guess because I don't think they would do the lawsuit if Candace were right. I think they would just try to shut her up some other way.
So Candace, I wish you well. I'm still a big fan of Candace Owens. I don't need to agree with her on everything and I know she's a shit-stirrer, but wow is she talented. She is so talented. I'm always impressed by that.
Hunter Biden, I love how Hunter Biden can make any situation worse. Just when the topic has changed a little bit from his father's brain and that cover-up, he does a podcast and he says, and I didn't catch this as being the problem, but now I understand it is. He said that his father was on Ambien, the sleeping pill, and that that might explain because there's a fairly substantial after effect of the Ambien which they tell you about. It's a well understood phenomenon. And that that might be why the father Joe didn't do well at the debate because it might have been a little Ambien hangover happening there.
Now, it turns out that the medical establishment would like you to know, and I saw this on a Dr. Drew clip on Instagram. Dr. Drew points out that if you had a patient that was that age and had trouble walking and maybe there was some Parkinson's going on, I don't think that's confirmed, but if you had somebody who was as unstable and as old as Joe Biden and then on top of that his job was to wake up at 3:00 a.m. if there's an emergency, you know, the president's job, that it would be close to almost a criminal activity to prescribe Ambien to somebody like that in that specific situation. It wouldn't be illegal, but it would be on that dangerously flirting with malpractice because if something happened, if that person that age and that mobility fell over, everybody would say, well, it's because somebody gave them Ambien. Everybody knows if you give Ambien to somebody in that condition, the odds of them falling down are much higher. So maybe you shouldn't have done that.
So somehow Hunter took a topic that was fading in our minds. You know, we were starting to forget a little bit about the Biden brain cover-up and then we find out that maybe the way he was cared for was horrible. If it's true, we don't know it's true, but if it's true that Ambien was part of the story, boy, somebody has a lot of explaining to do, which would be his doctor, I would think. But we don't know for sure that he was on Ambien or that had anything to do with anything. Unfortunately, Hunter is not the most reliable witness.
If you were waiting to find out what would happen in the courts with Trump's effort to ban birthright citizenship, that's where if somebody's not a citizen, but they have a baby in our country. The Constitution seems to say that those babies would be automatically citizens, but Trump doesn't want that. And a lot of people who are pro-Trump don't want that situation. And so Trump tried to ban it, but you would not be surprised to know that a federal appeals court just ruled that Trump can't do that and that those babies are indeed citizens of the United States. So that's a ruling from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. But that just means that this topic gets bumped up to the Supreme Court.
Now, how many of you think the Supreme Court will ban, which is what Trump would want, ban birthright citizenship by interpreting the Constitution in a sort of an originalist form? Where nobody really anticipated this particular problem, which is massive unchecked immigration and lots of babies. So, what's your bet? I wouldn't put a bet on this one. Yeah. Yeah. I see in the comments 50/50. That's exactly where I am. If you said, Scott, place a bet. You must think one of those is more likely than the other. I really don't. To me, this is a total coin flip. Well, I'll commit. All right. I'll commit. I'll commit to the Supreme Court will not ban birthright citizenship. I feel like it would be too big of a move even for all the conservatives. There might be a few votes for it, but I think the Supreme Court's going to agree with the lower court. What do you think? Anything is possible. So it's possible it could go the other way, but just for fun, I'll keep my prediction that it only goes one way.
Nikita Bier, who is the head of product at X, did a post on X called the current state of the medical establishment. So listen to this experience. Nikita says, brought a friend to the ER for a high fever. Put their symptoms into Grok. Grok told me to ask for four tests. The doctor, this is the ER doctor, said one of them is unnecessary. I insisted we do them all. The test came back positive on the one he didn't want to do. So that's the state of current medicine.
Your doctor has a lot of things on his or her mind, especially an ER doctor. You know, they're just seeing lots of different things come through all day long. So imagine the cognitive load on their brain, first of all. Then second of all, imagine all the possible things that can go wrong with any prescription or any diagnosis, etc. And if you're not already checking your doctor's work with AI, you should start. May I say that again as loudly as possible? You should never take medical advice from me on anything because I'm a cartoonist and not your doctor. But I do think we've reached the point in history where if you're not at least looking at the AI to see what it says compared to your doctor, but then ultimately you should check with your doctor, right? If the doctor says no, AI is hallucinating, I would go with the doctor. But you want to know what the other argument is.
So I'll give you my experience recently. A lot of my doctoring, especially because of the holidays, I couldn't get in for an actual doctor when I had a shingles attack, which I've recently recovered from. So my neck and the side of my face was breaking out in some kind of mysterious bumps. And I started by sending a picture because I could still get some service from my healthcare provider by email and said, "Take a look at this picture." And then I guessed there might be spider bites because there were only three or four bumps. And the doctor who was covering for my doctor who was on vacation said, "Well, you know, it might be spider bites, but we don't know. So take some antibiotics and do something else. Take some allergy stuff." But what they didn't guess is shingles. So that wasn't part of the guess.
Time goes by and it gets worse. So from three bumps it goes to I don't know, 15 bumps or so. At that point my own experience kicked in and I said it's only in one place. There's no way that a spider is coming back to bite me every day in that same one area and no place else. So it's probably something else. And so I guessed shingles, which I've never seen. I've never seen anybody who had it, but I used AI and looked it up and it looked to me it looked like the pictures on the internet. So I wrote back to my doctor and said, "You know what? I think it's shingles." And then I got a prescription for exactly what I needed for shingles. The doctor agreed as there were more bumps.
Now, to be fair, when there were only three or four bumps, it could have been a bug bite. It was only obvious to me when there were lots of them. But if you're not doing that exercise where first you check with AI, then you check with your doctor, and then after your doctor tells you something, you check with AI again. Maybe even check on the medication that was prescribed and maybe check it against all of your other medications. Have you done this yet? Take your AI and put it on the visual mode where it can see what you see. Then take a picture of all your medications and all of your nonprescription drugs, you know, say supplements and stuff so that the AI knows what you're already on. And then if something else is prescribed, even the doctor doesn't know about your supplements probably. So then your AI would tell you, hey, don't do this one with that one or stop doing this one with that one. So yes, check your AI.
Speaking of AI, Trump signed three administrative executive orders, I guess, on AI. And one of them is that the US government will not buy any AI product that's too woke. So it can't be essentially an anti-white person AI. The government will not be part of that. It says Trump would not allow the government to buy an AI that says George Washington was black or that refuses to note that white people had some accomplishments in history. Or argue that misgendering someone is worse than a nuclear apocalypse. All those things have actually happened. So there's that.
Anyway, Trump appears to be AI's biggest friend. But he's willing to take on a little more risk that maybe another leader would. And I feel like that's exactly the right place to be. If you were to make a continuum of, you know, a graph or something of all the people who are afraid of AI, you know, what it might do in the near future, you would have people who say, "Yeah, you should slow down." And you would have other people just in case, you know, it's an existential threat. And other people would say, "You better hurry up because the biggest existential threat is your competitor getting there first." So you've got two ways to die. One is being too slow with AI and the other is being too fast and not having enough guard rails. Two ways to die.
Trump is biased toward beating the competition. So that would be optimism that we could control the worst possibilities of the AI, but we wouldn't be able to control the worst impulses of the human leaders of other countries that are adversaries. I feel like he's exactly right on that. It's a guess because you don't know which way it could go, right? It could go either way, but I would take his same risk. I would say that the biggest risk is somebody gets there first. That's a big risk. The risk of it killing us just because that's built into the risk of the technology. I feel we have a much better chance of controlling that than we do of controlling let's say China. So I think Trump is completely right on this and that would mean that David Sachs is advising him really well and I think that is the case. If Trump isn't listening to everything that Sachs tells him, that would be a mistake. But by now, I'm pretty sure the administration and Trump in particular, he knows who the smart people are. And when Sachs tells him what to do on one of these topics like crypto or AI, I'm pretty sure he's listening. And that is just nothing would make me more comfortable than that because Sachs also is connected to all the people who know everything about those topics. So it's not like he's sitting in a room by himself making up opinions. He's connected to all the smartest people. So that is really good news in terms of the organization of your government.
MSNBC is saying out loud that the worst predictions that inflation was going to be fueled by Trump's tariffs have not turned out to be the case. So MSNBC is saying directly, well, we were kind of worried about all this inflation, but by now we should have seen some. Scott Bessent, head of the Treasury, is explaining that the reason for that is probably that the cost increases are being absorbed by the shipper or the receiver and that there were some margins there that they had to play with. We might not see, we might never see inflation caused by that.
Now, have I ever told you that economics is mostly guessing? Wouldn't you think that the easiest thing you could predict if you were some professional economist is whether these tariffs would increase inflation? Shouldn't that be right on the list of the easiest things you could ever predict? And apparently it went the other way so far. I mean, it could all reverse tomorrow, I suppose. But at the moment, pretty much almost every economist got this wrong. I'm thinking back to my days under Jimmy Carter's presidency and there was a belief that you couldn't have slow growth and inflation at the same time, so-called stagflation for stagnant economy with inflation, but it happened and I think the economists said that's not even possible but it happened. So a lot of what you think is science in economics, it really isn't. It really isn't.
Meanwhile, the US and the EU are getting closer to a deal according to a number of reports. And Trump says he's got a 15% tariff deal with Japan, which would be a gigantic relief because they're one of our bigger trading partners. And that would be an improvement for the US. And as I've said a number of times that Trump will apparently given that things look like they're starting to work out, he will be announcing big trade deals that are better for America probably one a week for weeks and weeks and weeks. And the Democrats are going to be so mad. So mad that the main thing they had to talk about, which was the tariffs, are turning out to be a gigantic victory that you will be reminded of every week because it'll just be one after another saying, "All right, all right, we'll pay extra tariffs and your inflation is not going up."
Representative James Comer has issued and his group in Congress issued a subpoena to Ghislaine Maxwell and I believe that they're planning to talk to her today at her prison. So that means somebody in his group will depose her or get her opinion on a bunch of questions today. But I would like to point out that the theory that we live in a simulation is now proven by the fact that Comer is going against a groomer. Comer versus the groomer. Come on. We must be living in a simulation. There's no way that's natural.
So will we learn anything? I don't think so. My guess is that Ghislaine has nothing to say. Do you know what I would do if I were Ghislaine? I would say I'm happy to sit here and listen to your questions, but it would be against my interest to answer them. Because if I'm going to tell you some juicy stuff that you really want to hear, and boy do I have some juicy stuff. If you want me to name names, I'm not going to do it from prison. You're going to have to get to the DOJ and you're going to have to make me a deal to get out of prison. And then I'll tell you everything you need to know. So I feel as if there's a very low odds that she will name names we haven't heard before. So I wouldn't get all excited about this one.
Apparently we have learned that the Department of Justice told Trump back in May that his name, among many other names of people, are on the Epstein files. Now, that doesn't mean he's on the client list, and there is no client list that we know of. It just means that he's mentioned as are many prominent people who knew Epstein but does not mean and there is no indication that Trump is accused of any untoward behavior. So is it possible that the real reason Trump wants the Epstein files to go away is that his name is in the files? Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. And if he knows that he was not guilty of anything, but it would give the Democrats this gigantic hammer to hammer him on endlessly. I could see why he might say, "We're done here. There's nothing to see." I don't know if that's why, but you could imagine that that would be a pretty good reason from his perspective.
I'll say again, there's no indication whatsoever that Trump is accused of any bad behavior. It's just his name is mentioned as a presumably an associate or friend of or a contact of Epstein's at one point before he banned him from Mar-a-Lago and cut all contact.
Apparently the House panel is also directing the chairman to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton about the Epstein probe according to Fox News. Now, do you think that Hillary and Bill Clinton will have anything to say that won't be a lie? I don't think we're going to learn anything from either of those two. They're a little bit too smooth. We might find out what the definition of is is and maybe Bill Clinton will say, "I did not sleep with any of those women." Well, how about this one? No, not that one either. How about this one and this one? No, not them either. I did not sleep with them. So he might be busy.
Democrat Hakeem Jeffries says, quote, "It is reasonable to conclude the Republicans are continuing to protect the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, even if that includes pedophiles." So he's talking about the non-release of all of the Epstein files, right? Because we assume there's stuff we haven't seen that would tell us something. So here is my lesson for the day. This is something I learned in hypnosis class years ago. And do you remember I told you that when Trump said he was asked some question recently, he started his answer with "I would say" and I told you that if you start with "I would say" whatever follows that is going to be a lie. You don't start a true statement that you believe in that's just a statement of truth. You don't start that sentence with "well I would say." You only do that when you're saying something that may not fully check out.
So Hakeem has a similar tell when he says "it's reasonable to conclude." You don't start your sentence with "it's reasonable to conclude" if it's reasonable to conclude and it's also true and it's obvious and it's just a fact. You just don't start with those words. "It's reasonable to conclude." So in hypnosis class, what I learned, among other things, is that when people say things extemporaneously, meaning they're talking off the top of their heads, they often will say the truth if you just look for it in the exact wording. So people have a real hard problem of not saying what's true when they're speaking off the top of their head. It's just that they might hide it in a part of a sentence that says the opposite of what is true. This would be it. "I would say" signal or "it's reasonable to conclude" signal. And there's probably a million varieties of that, but yeah, that's telling you he doesn't believe what he's saying.
Another no surprise. Zero Hedge is reporting that a judge has denied the DOJ request to unseal the Epstein grand jury transcripts. How many of you thought that just because the Department of Justice asked for that to be done that you were going to see the Epstein grand jury transcripts? If you believe that was going to happen, you were not well informed on that topic. I don't think there was really any chance it was going to happen. And I'm happy it didn't. I would rather preserve the standard that if you're going to violate something like that, which is really intended to be private because the grand jury is not like the actual case with proven evidence and facts. It's way more speculative as in yeah, that looks like it probably should go to court, but it hasn't gone to court, which means that the defense has not presented its defense. So if you saw a bunch of accusations on a grand jury transcript, you being not a lawyer, you would never say, "Well, it's just a grand jury, you know, we can't take that as fact." No. In a political sense, you would immediately treat it like it was fact when you shouldn't.
So I'm in favor of, as much as I would love to see all the Epstein stuff, I wouldn't want it to be revealed this way. And so I agree with the court to keep the grand jury testimony private.
We've learned that Barack Obama was at his home, which was right near where his personal chef drowned. So he's not, Obama is not being blamed for drowning him, but apparently he was there not necessarily at the drowning site, but at his home that was right nearby. I'm seeing in the comments that Duritz thinks Maxwell should be released because five years is usually the max sentence for what she did. And he says that she got basically Epstein's sentence because Epstein wasn't available. Well, he's probably right.
But there was one witness we heard on this personal chef drowning, Obama's personal chef, that there was a woman who witnessed it, saw him fall off his board and not come up. And so we have one witness that it was an accident as opposed to the murder that you might have suspected, but we have not heard much about that witness. So I wouldn't say that that's 100% conclusive, but I would lean toward accident.
The big news yesterday was Tulsi Gabbard, DNI, released new documents about the Russia Russia Russia hoax and Trump. And she's not recommending specific charges for anybody. But she says and says it repeatedly that the Department of Justice now knows what she knows because they've turned it over to the Department of Justice and they alone will decide if there are any legal charges that are appropriate. But don't look to Tulsi Gabbard to tell you if some law was broken. That is the domain of the Department of Justice which is looking into it.
But let me tell you what we think we know now. We know now from documents that Obama was made aware that Hillary Clinton was planning a fake hoax. The Clinton plan intelligence it was called. So he knew that in the summer of 2016, so before the election he knew that Clinton was doing this fake thing. And I guess John Durham mentioned it in a report, so that's how Obama would know it. Then Obama directed the creation of a new intelligence community assessment that said instead of saying what it said at first, which is there's no evidence that the Russians directly hacked the voting systems and changed any votes. So there's no evidence of any of that, but Obama directed them to rewrite it after Trump was victorious in the election. So that's a little suspicious looking, right? And the rewrite would focus on Russia's meddling, but it wouldn't change the fact that they didn't see any direct changing of votes on the election system.
Then President Obama was part of big discussions in January of 2017. Remember that's just when Trump's coming into office then related to the FBI's targeting of Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn. Now we know that the Mike Flynn targeting was completely illegitimate. And now we know that Obama was in the meetings when the decisions about what illegitimate things they would do against Mike Flynn were discussed. And then Gabbard says there is irrefutable evidence that details how Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.
Now, here's the part where it gets dicey. How do we know what somebody else knew? I mean, I get that the circumstantial evidence and the direct evidence certainly indicate that they must have known that they were making up a fake hoax. They must have known it was fake. But I'm going to double down on my opinion that you wouldn't be able to prove it in court. So the standard that you and I go by is sort of a common sense standard. If we know that these people did this and that and we know what their incentives were, you can reasonably conclude what they knew and why they did it. But I don't know that it's going to be any legal standard for that, you know, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because it seems that they could simply claim that they thought it was real.
Now, you might say to me, Scott, they knew that the Steele dossier was not credible and yet they used it as part of their explanation of why they could go after Trump. To which I say there's a big difference between knowing it's not credible and knowing none of it's true because they can claim we knew some of it was not credible. We didn't know at the time that none of it was true. They might even claim some of it was true because you've heard them say that recently. Well, not everything was debunked. Even though I think there's no evidence for any of it, but there's some of it that maybe wasn't debunked. It's just there's no evidence for it. So is that the same? If you can't debunk something, but you can't prove it didn't happen, maybe sort of you could argue that the intelligence people said, well, you know, it wasn't the best evidence talking about the Steele dossier, but it did fit the other stuff we were looking at in some way. So somehow it fit into the larger story. So you know, it was our judgment that that needed to be part of it. Now, in retrospect, we can look at it and say, "Well, that was a terrible judgment." But do you think they can argue, "Well, we were wrong. Maybe we were wrong, but that was our legitimate judgment that Russia was helping Trump." It just seemed likely. So I don't think that anybody's going to get perp walked and put in jail over this. I know you want it, and I want it too. Trust me, I want people to go to jail. I just don't want you to feel too disappointed when it doesn't happen. Get it? I'm priming you.
Bill O'Reilly predicts that John Brennan, who is the CIA chief behind all of that, will be indicted for publishing fraudulent intelligence reports. He said that to News Nation's Chris Cuomo. I don't know, maybe indicted, but convicted. I'm still going to say no. He will just weasel his way out of that, I think. And he would be charged with essentially making up the argument that Putin intended or preferred Trump to win. So apparently there's no evidence that Putin wanted Trump to win or expected he could. And indeed there's some evidence of the opposite although I don't know how they got that. So the evidence for the opposite appears to come from secret sources. So I hate to say it, but I don't believe any secret sources. So if they have secret sources that say Putin knew that Hillary was going to win or expected her to win and that he was keeping some secrets to weaken her administration when she got into office, but that he was not trying to get Trump into office. He was trying to hold on to things to weaken Hillary when she got into office. Now, how do we know that? I'm pretty sure that they can't tell us how they know that because I would suggest some kind of source that's pretty close to Putin and we wouldn't want to give that up, obviously. So I don't believe it. It might be true. It might be true. But if you tell me, "Trust us, we have secret ways of knowing this information." That happens to be exactly what my administration wants you to think. That's not good enough for me. But like I say, I'm convinced that they're all dirty and that they did one of the worst criminal acts of all time with the Russian collusion hoax. So I don't have any doubt that they're bad actors who deserve some legal justice, but I'm not sure I buy every part of everybody's story here.
I wanted to tie together something else here. So let me do a few other things and I'll tie together some other stuff. How many of you found out that Obama's hoaxes, which would include the Russia hoax, and it would also include the fine people hoax because Obama was behind that and Biden ran for office. Those two hoaxes, I would argue, ruined my life. Let me say that again. Those two hoaxes, Russia Russia Russia and the fine people hoax, ruined my life because those are the hoaxes that allowed my entire social group to say, "Are you kidding me? You're backing Trump. Trump's a Russian puppet." And he said that neo-Nazis are fine people. So we can't even talk to you again. You're so bad that we can't invite you anywhere. We can't be your friend and you should just fuck off. So this is very personal to me.
What Obama did was he divided the country with these hoaxes because if you imagine a different history where there had never been a Russia hoax and there had never been a fine people hoax. Those were the two primary ways that people became anti-Trumpers like really serious ones where the TDS comes in. Now, I would also argue that it's possible that that's what ushered in all the woke stuff. It's what got me cancelled. So if you were to go back, you know, trace the causes back to their origin, you would find out that Obama and Clinton and Biden, etc., and their hoaxes ruined my life.
Now, I didn't realize that until today because my natural personality is not to complain about it. My natural personality is to say, "Oh, that happened. I guess I have to do this now." So I don't spend a ton of time whining about bad things that happened to me. I just sort of get moving to fix it and make the best of every situation. But if you were to look at it objectively, those ruined my social life and then my professional life. And it was entirely based on two hoaxes. So do I want them in jail? Yes. Yes. I want Obama in jail for ruining my life with what looks like criminal acts to me. And you know, I don't know if the fine people hoax was a criminal act, but it was definitely a conspiracy. They were all in on it and they all knew the truth and the news backed them up. So the news was part of the bad guys. If you said there's a way to make some of the news hosts get handcuffed and taken to jail because they knew that they were supporting a lie, I'd be in favor of that. I don't think there's any law that would support that. But if there were, yeah, I think that some of the people who ruined my life and maybe a lot of your lives should go to jail. Absolutely. I just don't think it's going to happen.
Speaking of Trump derangement syndrome, which I would say those two hoaxes triggered, Graham Noble is writing in Liberty Nation News that there were two Republicans who back in May introduced some legislation. I don't think it's been passed, but they want to have a Trump Derangement Syndrome Research Act of 2025. So the Republicans want it to be part of mental health that there's a Trump syndrome and they want the act if it were passed would involve investigating TDS origins and contributing factors including the media's role in amplifying the spread of TDS. Now I think it would go back to the hoaxes. I think it would go back to Obama and Russiagate and fine people and then it would ask people to analyze its long-term impacts on individuals, communities and public discourse. Then explore interventions to mitigate extreme behaviors informing strategies for a healthier public square. That's a little generic. And then have some data-driven blah blah blah and require an annual report to Congress. So it is an epidemic. It is a mental health epidemic and I think you can very clearly see that the Democrat leadership created it intentionally. Maybe they didn't know how bad it would be, but they did it intentionally and they did it for political reasons and it caused 50% of the country to have a mental health breakdown.
Now I didn't get the mental health breakdown. I just got the impact on my social life and my professional life. But mentally, I think I'm okay as far as I know. But their own team paid a big price.
How many of you remember that when Hillary was running against Trump in 2015-16 that I was saying publicly and getting mocked mercilessly for it that Hillary Clinton looked like she had a major medical problem. This was before, this is important, before she collapsed and got dragged into her car after the 9/11 event. Now, after she passed out and had to be dragged into her car, I believe everybody said the obvious. Hey, looks like there might be some medical problem that she's hiding there. So it was easy after she passed out. Can we all agree on that? But I was saying it maybe a year before that and I was even predicting that she might die on the campaign trail. Well, it turns out that based on the Tulsi Gabbard new documents that have come out that allegedly Russian foreign intelligence services, their spy people, they thought that Clinton was experiencing significant health issues in 2016 that Obama administration officials and Democrat leaders found quote extraordinarily alarming.
So Russia was somehow aware, I think it was because they hacked the DNC maybe, but they were aware that the Democrats were super worried about Hillary Clinton's health. So do you want to give me the win on that? I was wrong that she was not deceased during the campaign. So I was wrong on that, but apparently it was pretty bad. And the specific claims include her suffering from quote intensified psycho-emotional problems with quote uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerlessness and being on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers to manage those issues. The report also hinted at other conditions. So this is nonconfirmed. Ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, COPD, that would be a breathing problem, and deep vein thrombosis, though we don't have corroboration from any medical records to those.
But her own doctor back after she collapsed in that 9/11 event in 2016, her own doctor said the problem was undiagnosed pneumonia and she had some exhaustion and dehydration and that's why she passed out. Overheating and dehydration. But the belief and here again I don't know how we know this so it's a little sketchy. The belief is that Putin knew about these health problems and thought it would be better to release them after she got elected but that he was not trying to get Trump elected and didn't think that was really an option.
So here is the weird thing about this whole Russia Russia hoax situation. So we were told that Putin's ambition was to sow discord and chaos in our election system. Now, there is evidence that Russia may have been involved in exactly that sort of thing in past elections, and maybe we do the same to them, but it was kind of at a low level. You know, they weren't trying to get somebody elected so much as they were trying to make people doubt the credibility of the election system. So that would be a win for them if they can make the Americans doubt their own system. But apparently the people who made us doubt our system were Obama and what I call his winged monkeys. You know, all of his aides and Brennan and Clapper and those guys. When they were done, they had convinced us that Russia could control who got elected in the United States. Am I wrong that the Russia hoax, the entire point of it is that our election systems and our government are so vulnerable that Russia and Putin specifically would decide who our president was?
Now, can you even imagine anything that would be sowing more discord and chaos? And so now we learned that Putin probably didn't do anything of scale. There were a few things that came in of Russia allegedly, but they're not really of scale. They wouldn't have changed anything. So the weird thing is that the only person who was not involved, I'm going to read this is somebody else's joke. Sergeant Pony Soldier said this on X. So this is Sergeant Pony Soldier's quote. Apparently, the only people not involved in the Trump Russia collusion issue were Trump and Russia. Now, did any of you have that observation? Because when you hear it, you say to yourself, "Oh, damn. That's true. The only people who were not involved in the Russia Trump collusion story were Trump and Russia. Trump wasn't involved in any way." And apparently Russia wasn't either, at least not in any important way that changed anything.
So I saw a post by Cynical Publius on X. Now he's a lawyer but not a prosecutor. So he warns us that his takes are not as good as maybe a prosecutor's take. But he is a lawyer, so he's not totally guessing on stuff. And he did a post on X that was very helpful because he tied crimes, you know, crimes that are on the books to what we know so far about the Russia hoax so that we can see what crimes are in play. And there are six crimes. And I will just read them. So this is from Cynical Publius. If you're on X, you should definitely be following him. He's one of the best accounts you'll follow.
Number one, it would be illegal to knowingly falsify classified intelligence reports for political gain. But you see the trick? It's knowingly. The defense will be, well, we thought it was true. We thought Russia was trying to collude. We thought they did influence the election. So it's not a crime because we didn't knowingly falsify anything. We thought it was true. So the first one, I think, will not put anybody in jail because the knowingly part will be too hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And then you're going to say, "But what about that Steele dossier?" And as I said before, all they have to say is, "We knew that it wasn't highly credible, but we didn't know that every part of it was fake." So we thought it was worthy of considering, you know, it's part of the larger story and maybe we were wrong, but there's no evidence that we knowingly did something fake.
And number two, relying on those knowingly false classified things to do things. But again, number two won't kick in if it wasn't proven that it was knowingly. So number one and two are not going to be a threat to Obama if he can argue, well, we didn't know it.
Number three, releasing classified information to the media. We don't know who did that, right? And the media will go to jail rather than reveal their source. So yeah, that's great that it's illegal to release classified information to the media, but how are you going to catch anybody for that? There's nobody to catch. You'll never catch that person, I don't think.
Number four, conspiring with other government officials to accomplish any of the foregoing. Have they done that? Well, they definitely conspired with other governments, maybe the UK with the Russia Russia stuff, but again, they would have to know that they were conspiring something illegal, but they could argue, "No, we asked for their help, but we thought it was for legitimate reasons."
How about number five? Lying about the foregoing to Congress while under oath. Well, I haven't seen any politicians go to jail for lying under oath to Congress. Have you? Remember Clapper told that whopper that they were not collecting information on Americans and it turned out just total lie. Is Clapper in jail? No. So lying to Congress, probably not putting anybody in jail.
Attempting to cover up any of the foregoing. Well, if you can't prove that any of that was a crime, would it be a crime to try to cover up the thing that wasn't a crime? So here's my non-lawyer take. So remember, Cynical Publius is not a prosecutor. He's a lawyer but not a prosecutor. So you should factor that into what I told you. But then you should also factor in that I'm definitely not a lawyer of any type. But when I look at it just from a common sense, how would you ever prove this beyond a reasonable doubt? I would bet against it. I don't think that you could get this past the reasonable doubt stage. Now, is it possible that you get a grand jury to indict? Yes, that is totally possible. I'm not going to predict it, but the grand jury stuff is sort of easy to get. So I would say that the evidence that Tulsi Gabbard has released and plus what we know is definitely enough for a grand jury to say that it should go to trial. But I don't see any chance of a conviction. That's what I think.
Anyway, apparently the Department of Justice has launched a what they call a strike force to investigate the Tulsi Gabbard's claims that the intelligence community weaponized their department. So the Post Millennial is reporting on that. So that's good. At least they're looking into it.
Here's my favorite story of the day. So you know that Trump has been trying to get rid of Jerome Powell, the head of the Fed, but he would like him to quit. He says he's not going to fire him because that would roil the markets. And he's repeated, Trump has, that firing him is off the possibility. The only way you'd be able to fire him is if he were involved in something so illegal or corrupt that the public would say, "Oh, okay." You know, he has the ability legally to fire him for cause, but the cause would have to be really obvious and the public would have to see it. Now, if it's really obvious and the public sees it, well, then maybe the markets would understand. It's like, oh, you can't let this go. So the question is, would there be anything like that?
Well, as you know, Bill Pulte has been promoting the idea that there are lots of questions to be answered with the building or the upgrades to the Federal Reserve headquarters, which apparently are budgeted at $2.5 billion. And as Bill Pulte points out, that is a lot of money and you should be able to build an entire building for that, you know, much less just fix up the building that already exists. So they have some real questions there. And Pulte had said that he would be willing to tour the site because he has a background in construction as well. You've heard of Pulte Homes. That was his grandfather's business and he worked there so he knows about construction. Bill Pulte did visit. I don't think he had a reservation with him. I think he just showed up at the site and saw there were only like half a dozen people working. So it does make you wonder where the 2.5 billion is going. But here is the best part.
Trump is going to join Bill Pulte and James Blair and Russ Vought on his team and today they're going to be visiting the Federal Reserve building site. Now remember I told you that Bill Pulte has a background in construction so he knows what he's talking about. What does Trump have? Trump has, you know, he also has an extreme background in construction, specifically for these larger buildings, which I think would be on point. And this is just great. Now, I don't know that this will have any impact on Jerome Powell because the work wouldn't even be done while he's still in office. His term ends in May, so he's not going to spend even one day in that building after it gets rehabbed. But maybe somebody's taking some bribes or some of that money is being wasted. There might be more to the story. We don't know. The budget is so big that asking questions makes sense.
So imagine Trump getting to attack his enemy, I guess you could call it that, Jerome Powell, by looking at a construction project. And what do you think Trump is going to say about the construction project? Do you think he's going to go there and say, "Oh, everything looks good. Looks like they made all the right decisions. That budget makes sense to me." No, he is going to absolutely eviscerate whoever is doing the building of this thing and he's going to raise all kinds of questions and boy that's going to be a fun visit. So Bill Pulte, congratulations for pushing that topic forward because I've told you before that when you see the government competing to try to find out who can find more fraud and get rid of it, that is a really good sign of a healthy change. If people were simply approving more budget and spending it, you're heading to doom. But the Trump administration and DOGE especially have changed the thinking such that your highest priority, and that's what this looks like, highest priority is to look for waste and abuse. And so it all makes sense. They're looking for waste and abuse.
I told you that Trump has humorously monetized things he couldn't solve. So he monetized the Ukraine war by saying, "We won't put any money into it, but we will sell Europe as many weapons as they want to buy." He monetized it. He monetized the fentanyl problem by using it as an excuse to raise tariffs on China and also Canada and Mexico I believe. So he couldn't solve it but he monetized it. And now apparently Columbia University is settling with the government for the government's claims that they were being too discriminatory against white people and not doing enough for antisemitism. But do you think that's a solvable problem? Do you think you can just fix these colleges? Maybe not. But he monetized it. So now Columbia is settling and they've agreed to pay $200 million to the federal government over three years and they're also going to settle for some Equal Opportunity Commission for 21 million now. So this will in theory Columbia will stop discriminating and maybe do more to squash antisemitism. So that was what was asked of them. But they're also going to pay $200 million plus $21 million. And we don't believe that they will completely get rid of all their DEI and all their bad practices. They'll probably just hide it a little bit. So here again, you have a problem that I don't think you could completely solve. I mean, you could shrink it a little bit. And that looks like what's happening. But he's monetized it. He monetized it again.
Harmeet Dhillon, she's on the job of chasing all the DEI criminals. I say criminal because DEI is illegal at the federal level anyway. And she's going after companies and entities that are not following the law on DEI. So she's the assistant attorney general and I'm watching her with great interest because she appears to be very capable and she's in the right job.
I saw a post by the rabbit hole on X who asks this question. He says legacy media will publish endless articles about men but rarely if ever cover the radicalization of women. Now the article about men I think he means that men are more Republican. They're moving Republican in a big way. But who is talking about the fact that women have been radicalized? It's a good point. If men had been radicalized the way women have been radicalized, it would be a huge topic and everybody would say, "We have to unradicalize these men." What happened to these men? They're believing all this ridiculous stuff. But when it's women who are the radicalized ones on the left, I don't know that there's a lot of talk about reprogramming them and their mental illness or their radicalization. Now, is he right? I mean, this is anecdotal. It's just observational, but I do wonder about that. It does seem like if we're going to talk about TDS being an actual mental problem, which it is, we should talk about the radicalization of women, especially the crazy ones because there are so many of them.
According to Gizmodo, Matt Novak is writing that CNN says the FDA's new drug approval involves AI. So AI is helping the FDA decide what to approve. So that sounds good, right? Probably a big improvement in their speed and the accuracy because they're using AI. Well, there's a problem. Apparently the AI is hallucinating in this realm as well. So it's actually making up studies that never existed. Oh yeah. This drug should be fine. Here's a study that says it works great. But if the human didn't know to check to see if that study existed, they would be approving something for the wrong reason or disapproving it. So that's scary. AI is literally making up scientific studies and inserting it into the conversation. Oh my goodness.
So RFK Jr. signed a recommendation to remove a component called thimerosal from the regular flu vaccines, not from the COVID stuff, but from regular seasonal flu vaccines. Now, there's a little bit of a backstory to that. This thing called thimerosal, at one point RFK Jr. thought it was a cause of autism because it used to be in a lot of different shots, but apparently it got removed from the childhood shots a while ago back in 2001. But it did not make any change in the rate of autism. So if this had been the cause of autism, which is what RFK Jr. suspected way back then, the removal of it would have by now shown all kinds of improvements. The number of people who had autism diagnosis when they were young would drop down back down to some historical baseline which was a lot lower, but it didn't.
However, there's still some concern about that component and it wasn't in many things at this point, but it was in the seasonal flu shots. To which I say, how many of you get the seasonal flu shot? Long before the pandemic, a lot of you said, this seasonal flu shot is, right? I'm one of those people. You know, once you learned that the seasonal flu wasn't even tuned to the seasonal flu. It was tuned to last year's flu, which you're not going to get this year. I mean, once I heard that, I thought, are you kidding me? How's that even possibly true that we're highly recommended to get a flu shot that's designed for a virus that doesn't exist? How in the world is that possible? Now, I never looked into it that hard, but once I heard that, you know, that was the last time I got one of those. So maybe someday we'll learn what causes autism or what caused the increase in it, but it looks like it wasn't that particular part of the shots.
According to Newsmax, there's a McLaughlin poll, 77% of Americans oppose amnesty for illegals. Now, the amnesty would not just allow them to stay here, but wouldn't it also allow them to be citizens? So 77% oppose that. 56% say deport everyone who's an undocumented migrant. 56%. So that's where that's at. So I believe that although there's going to be a lot of complaining, it looks like the public is sort of back in Trump, at least by a majority.
Here's something else to worry about. According to Interesting Engineering, it's possible to use WiFi as a sort of a whole body fingerprint to track humans. So in other words, it turns out that if you were in your house where there was WiFi, the WiFi would be disturbed by your body, you know, the way it's disturbed by any object in the house. But the way your specific body disturbs WiFi apparently is unique. So with about 95% accuracy, if they've picked up how you distort WiFi on one WiFi system and then you went to another WiFi system, they would know it was you if they had access to the WiFi in both places. Now, they don't, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine that they could get it. So that's a new way to track people. Tracking by their disturbance to the WiFi system. Scary, huh?
Apparently the Israeli Knesset voted 71 to 13 in favor of a non-binding motion for the agenda in favor of annexing the West Bank. So all right. So I don't think that has any impact on anything. I may have written that down wrong too. So forget about that story. I don't have anything to say about it. The only thing I'm going to say about the two-state solution in Israel is that there's no way that's going to happen. There's just no way there's going to be a two-state solution. That's my prediction.
The largest teacher union in the United States, which is the NEA. All right. So it's the largest teachers association union. It's a union according to the Washington Free Beacon. This is hard to believe, but I'll tell you what the story is. That they want the materials that people are using to learn history to include that the Holocaust had 12 million victims instead of 6 million. 6 million would be the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust. But the NEA wants to expand what students think of the Holocaust to 12 million because that would include people from different faiths and that they would leave out from history the idea that Germany and Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish people. So they want to just leave that part out and say, well, it wasn't the Jewish people per se, but it was people of different faiths and that there were 12 million of them. So it's not really a story about what happened to the Jews. It's more of a story about 12 million people of different faiths.
Now on top of that they want to include lessons that say that would teach students that Israel was founded through quote forced violent displacement and dispossession. So it would go hard at Israel for the Nakba and kicking out the Palestinians who were in that location where Israel was formed. And they would try to redefine or reframe the Holocaust as not being specifically a Jewish problem. So I'm no historian, but let me just talk about it politically. How in the world can this teachers union survive that? Don't you feel that Israel and the ADL and certainly all the Jewish teachers who were part of that union, don't you think they're going to go as hard as you could possibly go at that union? I've got a feeling if you were hoping for the teachers unions to be somehow neutered that we're a lot closer to that than you thought. Because if you get the entire Jewish community, both domestic and internationally saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't take away the Holocaust from us. You can't take that away. It's too built into our entire narrative, our history, our understanding of who we are, our understanding of the risks of being in that situation and all that." So I feel like the NEA, the biggest teachers union, just declared war on domestic and international Jews by this. I mean, how do they survive that? We'll see. But it is certainly suggestive of a gigantic change where the Jewish Americans and Israel in particular have just had a reputational destruction in the past year, past year or so. So things are going to get frothy.
Russia apparently is doing some publicity on what they call the world's largest drone factory in Russia. So Wonderful Engineering is talking about this and it's the Alabuga factory in Tatarstan. And it's supposedly the biggest drone making facility in the world. But here's the part that interested me. Apparently for that factory 25,000 North Koreans, industrial workers were shipped in to do the work. Do you think that the only reason that they shipped in North Koreans to do that work is because they work cheaper? Do they work cheaper? Maybe. Is it possible that there just weren't enough Russians? Is Russia running out of people to do new stuff? I feel like the biggest story is that they didn't have domestic employees to run the most important factory in their country. They didn't have enough Russians. Are all the Russians that can walk and do things, have they already been shipped to the war? Have they already been killed? Why in the world do they need 25,000 North Koreans for their factory? Are you telling me that the employment situation in Russia is so good that people already had better jobs than this one? I don't know. I don't know. I have questions.
But I do think that Russia may have a population collapse problem that has not been discussed enough. I think they're running out of young people. And if you run out of young people, you're kind of in trouble. So we'll see. I also wonder, I didn't look on the map to figure out where Tatarstan is, but if it's within missile range of Ukraine, is it possible the Ukraine is going to use American weapons to destroy the biggest drone factory in Russia? And if they didn't try, why wouldn't they? Can you think of any reason why the Ukrainians would not use if our missiles can reach it? Do you think that they would buy new missiles and just take out the drone factory? Because I don't know how a drone factory survives in a war. Isn't the drone factory the very first thing you bomb? I mean, I haven't run any wars, but that's how I'd handle it.
All right, that's all I got for you today. Sorry I went late. I'm going to say a few words privately to the local subscribers. Beloved, beloved local subscribers, thanks for the rest of you for paying attention. And I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place in 30 seconds.
Hello everybody.
Come on in.
Stream on in.
It's almost time for the live show you've been craving.
I will get your comments working and then we'll have something.
Oh yeah, now we got something.
Good morning everyone and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains.
All you need for that is a copper mug or a glass, a tanker galistine, a kenzene jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
Go.
Woody says it's the first time he's ever done this simultaneous sip.
Well, now don't you feel foolish that you never did it until now?
I know.
I know.
It is uh hypnotically designed to make you feel better.
That's actually true.
So, it's not a accident that I do a simultaneous sip of your favorite beverage.
And it's not an accident that I like to do it simultaneously.
It's because it gives you a little bit, just a small one, free boost of dopamine.
Probably dopamine.
That would be my guess.
But yes, you will enjoy it.
Elon Musk had some things to say.
Tesla's profits uh or their financials came out yesterday.
But among other things uh he has said recently, he said that Starling satellites will soon well actually now can broadcast directly to your cell phone.
I suppose it depends which cell phone surface you use.
I don't think it's all of them yet, but you will not need to be near a cell tower.
Um, you will be able to use your phone anywhere on Earth and I believe that's already active.
So, but you would need the right cell service.
Speaking of uh Elon Musk, the Cyber Cab estimates um for what it would cost, I think it's per mile, is that it would be as low as 25 to 30 cents for driving a cyber cab.
Now, you wouldn't drive it.
has no steering wheel, but uh it would be way cheaper than any other driving solution.
And one of the reasons is that uh Elon explains that if you're making an automobile that's just essentially a taxi cab that doesn't have a driver, you can skip a lot of expense.
So, they can make them kind of cheaply.
They they assume that they will not have to, you know, go around corners at 80 miles an hour because nobody would do that in a taxi.
Well, hopefully.
So, you can just u remove the ability for the car to do high-end stuff because it will never do that that stuff.
And then um production for the Cyber Cab is on track for volume production in 2026.
And uh it'll be rolling out um in Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada, and more.
And uh te um Elon says that if we execute well, Tesla has a shot at being the most valuable company in the world.
The most valuable company in the world.
Now that would mean you know car sales and cyber cabs and uh robots and all that but to be the most valuable company in the world they would have to beat what?
Nvidia.
I think Nvidia is the most expensive company, right?
Four trillion.
Well, we'll see.
That would make uh that would make Elon the first trillionaire.
Do you think he'll get there?
I feel like he will.
I feel like Elon will be the first trillionaire.
And that's really only four times what he already has.
So if if it's true that Tesla, you know, executes well with cyber cabs and with robots and more cars, could it go up by, you know, multiple of four?
Yeah, it could.
Well, let's uh let's see what the competition is doing over at Uber.
Um CB CNBC is reporting that Uber is going to allow a new option that if you're a woman who wants to ride on Uber, you can request a woman uh driver.
Now, that's a problem that Tesla won't have at all because they don't have a driver.
Which would you prefer if you had a choice?
I think I'll try to get an Uber, but I have to wait for a woman to be available.
Or I will summon my cyber cab because there's no driver.
I don't have to worry about it.
Uber is not looking very competitive at the moment because I don't know what your experience is, but most Uber drivers I think are male.
I don't know what the ratio is, but I would guess three out of four.
And sometimes it's hard enough to get a ride.
Imagine how hard it would be if you had to wait for the one out of four um who's a woman who has been requested by every single woman who wanted a ride.
I feel like Uber may have a plan for putting themselves out of business.
Doesn't look like that could work.
Elon Musk also says, quote, "Batteries are going to be a massive thing.
The scale of battery demand, I think that not many people appreciate just how gigantic the scale of battery demand is." And he goes on to say that only 0.
0001% of people seem to appreciate this crucial point.
And that crucial point would be this um that the sustained power output from the US grid is about 1 terowatt but average usage is less than half of it.
So if you add batteries to the mix you can run the power plants 24 hours a day at full capacity more than doubling the energy output per year of the United States just with batteries.
Now, every time I bring up the fact that batteries are going to be a big solution for our energy needs in the future, I'm really just, you know, cribbing from Elon Musk.
And it's not that I know anything about batteries.
It's just that I think he probably knows more than you know about batteries.
That's my whole B.
I think he's looked into it.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's researched batteries.
Uh, in other news, uh, teens are starting to turn to, uh, AI for their companionship and, uh, they it's a much bigger thing than you probably think.
the teens using AI.
Some of them use it all day long.
Just have somebody to talk to and ask about normal stuff like um for example, let's see, this is written in give credit to Joselyn Gekcker in fizz.org.
Um there's a uh young person named Kayla, a high school student in Kansas.
She says, "No question is too small for AI." So, the 15-year-old has always asked Chad GPT for stuff about uh back to school shopping and makeup colors and low calorie um food and ideas for birthday party, etc.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of this too far, but one of the things that I've predicted for now probably 20 years is that when it gets to the point where AI and virtual reality and robots and stuff become preferable to human contact, we're in a lot of trouble.
And I would say that if you look at the quality of the average teenager, imagine trying to be friends with a teenager even if you were a teenager.
Well, they wouldn't be very attentive or nice.
They might be bullies.
They might be judgmental.
But your AI, as the teens point out, is never judgmental.
It's always optimistic and it's always helpful.
How is a human teenager going to compete with that?
Because humans bring so many problems with them.
But the AI doesn't bring any problems.
It's just something you can talk to and it does what you want, the way you want it to.
So, we may be approaching that point where teens say, "I don't really need a mate.
I'll take care of that myself." Well, here's uh something I'm not too surprised at.
Well, maybe a little bit, but the Mcron um Bridget and uh whatever her husband's name is, what is Mcronone's first name in France?
Um, they're suing Kansas Owens for Kansas Owens continuous claims that Brit Breijit Mcronone was born a man.
So, um, what what would you bet will happen with that?
It seems to me that if you did discovery, and you would have to, wouldn't Bridg Bridget Mcronone need to prove that she's biologically female in order to win her case?
And uh Candace is doubling down.
Um, quote, "You were born a man and you will die a man." That's the point I'm making.
I think you're sick.
I think you're disgusting.
that I am fully prepared to take on this battle, meaning the lawsuit on behalf of the entire world.
Uh, I'll see you in court.
Now, do you think that the Mcron would sue her unless they could easily provide, let's say, DNA that would prove she was a woman?
I don't feel that they would make a big deal out of this if there was any chance they would lose.
So, I'm going to say that um unless they're bluffing and trying to force her into settling in some way or shutting up or apologizing and I don't think that this would be a good bluff.
So, my best guess is that Bridget Mcronone was born a woman.
That's just my best guess because I don't think they would do the lawsuit if Candace were right.
I think they would just try to shut her up some other way.
Um, so Candace, I wish you well.
I'm still a big fan of Candace Owens.
I don't I don't need to agree with her on everything and I know she's a good stirer, but wow is she talented.
She is so talented.
Um, I'm always impressed by that.
Well, Hunter Biden, um, I love how Hunter Biden can make any situation worse.
just when the topic has changed a little bit from um his father's brain and that cover up, he does a he does a podcast and he he says, and I didn't catch this as being the problem, but now I understand it is.
He said that his father was on ambient, the sleeping pill, and that that might explain because there's a little there's a fairly substantial after effect of the ambient which they tell you about.
It's a well understood phenomenon.
Um, and that that might be why he the father Joe didn't do well at the debate because it might have been a little ambient hangover happening there.
Now, it turns out that the medical establishment would like you to know, and I saw this on a Dr.
Drew clip on Instagram.
Um, Dr.
Drew points out that if you had a patient that was that age and had trouble walking and maybe there was some Parkinson's going on, I don't think that's confirmed, but uh if you had somebody who was as unstable and as old as Joe Biden and then on top of that um he his job was to wake up at 3:00 a.m.
If there's an emergency, you know, the president's job, that it would be close to, you know, almost a criminal activity to prescribe ambient to somebody like that in that specific situation.
It wouldn't be illegal, but it would be on that, you know, dangerously flirting with malpractice because if something happened, if that person uh that age and that mobility fell over, um, everybody would say, well, it's because somebody gave them ambient.
Everybody knows if you give ambient to somebody in that condition, the odds of them falling down are much higher.
So maybe you shouldn't have done that.
So somehow Hunter um took a topic that was fading in our minds.
You know, we were starting to forget a little bit about the Biden brain coverup and then we find out that maybe the way he was cared for was horrible.
If it's true, we don't know it's true, but if it's true that ambient was part of the story, boy, somebody has a lot of explaining to do, which would be his doctor, I would think.
But we don't know for sure that he was on ambient or that had anything to do with anything.
Unfortunately, Hunter is not the most reliable witness.
Well, if you were waiting to find out what would happen in the courts with uh Trump's effort to ban uh birthright citizenship, that's where if somebody's not a citizen, but they have a baby in our country.
The Constitution seems to say that those babies would be automatically citizens, but Trump doesn't want that.
And a lot of people who are pro.
Trump don't want that situation.
And so Trump tried to ban it, but uh you would not be surprised to know that uh a a federal appeals court just ruled that um Trump can't do that and that those babies are indeed citizens of the United States.
So that's a ruling from the 9inth US Circuit Court of Appeals.
But that just means that this topic gets bumped up to the Supreme Court.
Now, how many of you think the Supreme Court will ban, which is what Trump would want, ban birthright citizenship by interpreting the Constitution in a sort of an originalist form?
Um, where nobody really anticipated this particular problem, which is massive unchecked immigration and lots of babies.
So, what's your bet?
I wouldn't put a bet on this one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see in the comments 50/50.
That's exactly where I am.
If you said, Scott, place a bet.
Yeah.
You must you must think one of those is more likely than the other.
I really don't.
To me, this is a total coin flip.
It Well, uh I'll uh I'll commit.
All right.
I'll commit.
I I'll commit to the Supreme Court will not ban birthright citizenship.
I feel like it would be too big of a move even for the all the conservatives.
There might be a few votes for it, but I I think the Supreme Court's going to agree with the lower court.
What do you think?
Anything is possible.
So, it's possible it could go the other way, but I'll uh just for fun, I'll uh keep my prediction that it only goes one way.
Well, uh Nikita Byer, who is the head of product X, did a post at X called the current state of the medical establishment.
So, listen to this experience.
Um so, Nikita says, u brought a friend to the ER for a high fever.
uh put their symptoms into Grock.
Grock told me to ask for four tests.
The doctor, this is the ER doctor, said one of them is unnecessary.
I insisted we do them all.
The test came back positive on the one he didn't want to do.
So that's the state of current medicine.
your doctor has a lot of things on his or her mind, especially an ER doctor, you know, they're they're just seeing lots of different things come through all day long.
So, imagine the cognitive load on their brain, first of all.
Then second of all, um imagine all the possible things that can go wrong with any prescription or any diagnosis, etc.
And if you're not already checking your doctor's work with AI, you should start, may I say that again as loudly as possible, you should never take medical advice from me on anything because I'm a cartoonist and not your doctor.
But I do think we've reached the point in history where if you're not at least looking at the AI to see what it says compared to your doctor, but then ultimately you should check with your doctor, right?
If the doctor says no AI is hallucinating, I would go with the doctor.
But you want to know what the other argument is.
So I'll give you my experience recently.
So, a lot of my doctoring, especially because of the holidays, I couldn't get in for an actual doctor when I had a shingles attack, which I've recently recovered from.
So, my neck and the side of my face was breaking out in some kind of mysterious uh bumps.
And I started by sending a picture because I could still get some service from my healthc care provider by email and said, "Take a look at this picture." And then I guessed there might be spider bites because there were only three or four bumps.
And the doctor who was covering for my doctor who was on vacation said, "Well, you know, it might be spider bites, but we don't know.
So take some antibiotics and do something else.
Take some allergy stuff." But what they didn't guess is shingles.
So that wasn't part of the the guess.
Uh so time goes by and it gets worse.
So from three bumps it goes to I don't know 15 15 bumps or so.
At that point uh my own experience kicked in and I said it's only in one place.
There's no way that a spider is coming back to bite me every day in that same one area and no place else.
Um, so it's probably something else.
And so I guessed shingles, which I've never seen.
I've never seen anybody who had it, but I, you know, used AI and looked it up and it looked to me it looked like the pictures on the internet.
So I wrote back to my doctor and said, "You know what?
I think it's shingles." And then I got a prescription for exactly what I needed for shingles.
The doctor agreed as there were more bumps.
Now, to be fair, when there were only, you know, three or four bumps, it could have been a bug bite.
Um, it it was only obvious to me when there were lots of them.
But if you're not doing that exercise where first you check with AI, then you check with your doctor, and then after your doctor tells you something, you check with AI again.
Maybe even check on the medication that was prescribed and maybe check it against all of your other medications.
Have you done this yet?
Take your AI and put it on the visual mode where it can see what you see.
then take a picture of all your medications and all of your um nonprescription drugs, you know, say supplements and stuff so that the AI knows what you're already on.
And then if something else is u is prescribed, even the doctor doesn't know about your supplements probably.
So then your AI would tell you, hey, don't do this one with that one or stop doing this one with that one.
So, um, yes, check your AI.
Speaking of AI, Trump signed three, uh, administrative executive orders, I guess, on AI.
And, uh, one of them is that, uh, the US government will not buy any AI product that's too woke.
So, it can't be essentially an anti-white person AI.
the government will not uh be part of that.
It says uh Trump would not uh would not allow the government to buy an AI that says George Washington was black or that or that refuses to uh note that white people had some accomplishments in history.
Um or argue that misgendering someone is worse than a nuclear apocalypse.
All those things have actually happened.
So, there's that.
Anyway, Trump appears to be um AI's biggest friend.
Um but he's willing to take out a little more risk that maybe another leader would.
And I feel like that's exactly the right place to be.
If you were to make a continuum of, you know, a graph or something of all the people who are afraid of AI, you know, what it might do in the near future, you would have people who say, "Yeah, you should slow down." And you would have other people just in case, you know, it's an existential threat.
And other people would say, "You better hurry up because the biggest existential threat is your competitor getting there first." So you got two ways to die.
One is being too slow with AI and the other is being too fast and not having enough guard rails.
Two ways to die.
Trump is biased toward um beating the competition.
So that would be optimism that we could control the worst, you know, possibilities of the AI, but we wouldn't be able to control the worst impulses of the human leaders of other countries that are adversaries.
I feel like he's exactly right on that.
It's a guess because you don't know which way it could go, right?
It could go either way, but I would take his his same uh risk.
I would say that the biggest risk is somebody gets there first.
That's a big big risk.
The risk of it killing us just because that's built into the risk of the technology.
I feel we have a much better chance of controlling that than we do of controlling let's say China.
So I think Trump is completely right on this and that would mean that uh David Sachs is advising him really well and I think that is the case if Trump isn't listening to everything that the Sachs tells him.
That would be a mistake.
But by now, I'm pretty sure the administration and Trump in particular, he knows who the smart people are.
And when Saxs tells him what to do on one of these topics like crypto or AI, I'm pretty sure he's listening.
And that is just nothing would make me more comfortable than that because Sax also is connected to all the people who know everything about those topics.
So, it's not like he's sitting in a room by himself making up opinions.
he's connected to all the smartest people.
So that is really good news in terms of the organization of your government.
Um MSNBC is saying out loud that the worst predictions that inflation was going to be fueled by Trump's tariffs have not turned out to be the case.
So MSNBC is saying directly, well, we were kind of worried about all this inflation, but by now we should have seen some.
Uh Scott Basant, head out of the Treasury is explaining that the reason for that is probably that uh that the cost increases are being absorbed by the the shipper or the receiver and that there were some margins there that they had to play with.
We might not see we might never see uh inflation caused by that.
Now, have I ever told you that economics is mostly guessing?
Wouldn't you think that the easiest thing you could predict if you were some professional economist is whether these tariffs would increase inflation?
Shouldn't that be right on the list of the easiest things you could ever predict?
And apparently it went the other way so far.
I mean, it could all reverse tomorrow, I suppose.
But at the moment, pretty much almost every economist got this wrong.
I'm I'm thinking back to my days under Jimmy Carter's presidency and there was a belief that you couldn't have um slow growth and inflation at the same time so-called stagflation for stagnant economy with inflation but it happened and I think the economist said that's not even possible but it happened.
So, a lot of uh a lot of what you think is science and economics, it really isn't.
It really isn't.
Uh meanwhile, the US and the EU are getting closer to a deal according to a number of reports.
Um and Trump says he's got a 15% tariff deal with Japan, which would be a gigantic relief because they're one of our bigger trading partners.
And uh that would be an improvement for the US.
And as I've said a number of times that uh Trump will apparently given that things look like they're starting to work out, he will be announcing big trade deals that are better for America probably one a week for weeks and weeks and weeks.
And the Democrats are going to be so mad.
So mad that the main thing they had to about, which was the tariffs, are turning out to be a gigantic victory that you will be reminded of every week because it'll just be one after another saying, "All right, all right, we'll pay extra tariffs and your inflation is not going up." Well, uh, Representative James Comr has issued and his group in Congress issued a subpoena to Galain Maxwell and I believe that they're planning to talk to her today at her prison.
So, that means somebody in his group will depose her or get her opinion on a bunch of questions today.
Um, but I would like to point out that the the uh theory that we live in a simulation is now proven by the fact that comr is going against a groomer.
Comr versus the groomer.
Come on.
We must be living in a simulation.
There's no way that's natural.
So, will we learn anything?
I don't think so.
My my guess is that Galain has nothing to say.
Do you do you know what I would do if I were Gain?
I would say um I'm happy to sit here and listen to your questions, but it would be against my interest to answer them.
Because if I'm going to tell you some juicy stuff that you really want to hear, and boy do I have some juicy stuff.
If you want me to name names, I'm not going to do it from prison.
you're going to have to get to the DOJ and you're going to have to make me a deal to get out of prison.
Uh, and then I'll tell you everything you need to know.
So, I feel as if there's a very low odds that she will name names we haven't heard before.
So, I wouldn't I wouldn't get all excited about this one.
Well, apparently we have learned that the Department of Justice told Trump back in May that his name, among many other names of people, are on the Epstein files.
Now, that doesn't mean he's on the client list, and there is no client list that we know of.
It just means that he's mentioned as are many prominent people who knew Epstein but does not mean and there is no indication that Trump is accused of any unto behavior.
So is it possible that the real reason Trump wants the Epstein files to go away is that his name is in the files?
Maybe.
Yeah.
Maybe.
And if he knows that he was not guilty of anything, but it would give the Democrats this gigantic hammer to hammer him on endlessly.
I could see why he might say, "Uh, we're done here.
There's nothing to see.
I don't know if that's why, but you could imagine that that would be a pretty good reason from his perspective." Well, I'll uh I'll say again, there's no indication.
whatsoever that Trump is accused of any bad behavior.
It's just his name is mentioned as a presumably an associate or friend of or a contact of Epstein's at one point before he banned him from Marago and cut all contact.
Um, apparently the House panel is also directing the chairman to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton about the Epstein probe according to Fox News.
Now, do you think that Hillary and Bill Clinton will have anything to say that won't be a lie?
I don't think we're going to learn anything from either of those two.
They're a little bit too smooth.
Uh, we might find out what the def definition of is is and maybe Bill Clinton will say, "I did not I did not sleep with any of those women." Well, how about this one?
No, not that one either.
How about this one and this one?
No, not them either.
I did not sleep with them.
So, he might be busy.
Um, Hakee Jeff, Democrat Hakee Jeff says, uh, quote, "It is reasonable to conclude the Republicans are continuing to protect the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, even if that includes pedophiles." So, he's talking about the nonrelease of all of the Epstein files, right?
Because we assume there's stuff we haven't seen that would tell us something.
So here is my lesson for the day.
Uh this is something I learned in hypnosis class years ago.
And do you remember I told you that when Trump said he was asked some question recently, he started his answer with I would say and I told you that if you start with I would say whatever follows that is going to be a lie.
You don't start a true statement that you believe in that's just a statement of truth.
You don't start that sentence with well I would say you just don't you only do that when you're saying something that may not fully check out.
So has a similar tell when he says it's reasonable to conclude.
You don't start your sentence with it's reasonable to conclude if it's reasonable to conclude and it's also true and it's obvious and it's just a fact.
You just don't start with those words.
It's reasonable to conclude.
So, in hypnosis class, what I learned, among other things, is that when people say things um extemporaneously, meaning they're talking off the top of their heads, they often will say the truth if you just look for it in the exact wording.
So, people have a real hard problem of not saying what's true when they're speaking off the top of their head.
It's just that they might hide it in a part of a sentence that says the opposite of what is true.
This would be it.
I would say signal or it's reasonable to conclude signal.
And there's probably a million varieties of that, but yeah, that's that's telling you he doesn't believe what he's saying.
Well, another no surprise.
Zero Hedge is reporting that uh a judge has denied the DOJ request to unseal the Epstein grand jury transcripts.
How many of you thought that just because the Department of Justice asked for that to be done that you were going to see the Epstein grand jury transcripts?
If you believe that was going to happen, um you were not well informed on that topic.
I don't think there was really any chance it was going to happen.
And I'm happy it didn't.
I I would rather I would rather preserve the standard that if you're going to if you're going to violate something like that, which is, you know, really intended to be private because the grand jury is not like the actual case with um proven evidence and facts.
It's uh way more speculative as in yeah, yeah, that looks like it probably should go to court, but it hasn't gone to court, which means that the defense has not presented its defense.
So, if you saw a bunch of accusations on a grand jury transcript, you being not a lawyer, you would never say, "Well, it's just a grand jury, you know, we can't take that as fact." No.
in a political sense, you would immediately treat it like it was fact when you shouldn't.
So, I'm in favor of, as much as I would love to see all the Epstein stuff, I wouldn't want it to be revealed this way.
And so, I I agree with the court to keep the grand jury testimony private.
Um, we've learned that Barack Obama was um at his home, which was right near where his personal chef drowned.
So, he's not uh Obama is not being blamed for drowning him, but apparently he was there um not necessarily at the drowning site, but at his home that was right nearby.
Um, oh, I'm seeing in the comments that Duritz thinks Maxwell should be released because five years is usually the max sentence for what she did.
H and uh he says that she got basically Epstein's sentence because Epstein wasn't available.
Well, he's probably right.
Um anyway, so but there was one witness we heard on this uh personal chef drowning, Obama's personal chef that there was a woman who witnessed it, saw him fall off his board and not come up.
And uh so we have one witness that it was an accident as opposed to the murder that you might have suspected, but we have not heard much about that witness.
So I wouldn't say that that's 100% conclusive, but I would lean toward accident.
Well, the big news yesterday was Tulsi Gabard DNI uh released new documents about the Russia Russia Russia hoax and Trump.
And she's not recommending specific charges for anybody.
Uh but she says and says it repeatedly that the Department of Justice uh now knows what she knows because they've turned it over to the Department of Justice and they alone will decide if there are any legal charges that are appropriate.
But uh don't look to Tulsi Gabbert to tell you if some law was broken.
That is um the domain of the Department of Justice which which is looking into it.
Um, but let me tell you what we think we know now.
We know now from documents that Obama was made aware that uh Hillary Clinton was planning a fake hoax.
Uh, the Clinton plan intelligence it was called.
So he knew that in the summer of 2016, so before the election he knew that Clinton was doing this fake thing.
Um, and I guess John Durham mentioned it in a report, so that's how Obama would know it.
Uh, then Obama directed the creation of a new intelligence community assessment that said instead of saying what it said at first, which is there's no evidence that the Russians directly um directly hacked the voting systems and changed any votes.
So there's no evidence of any of that, but uh Obama directed them to um rewrite it um after Trump was victorious in the election.
So that's a little suspicious looking, right?
Um and the rewrite would focus on Russia's meddling, but it wouldn't change the fact that they didn't see any direct changing of votes on the election system.
Um then the President Obama was part of uh uh big discussions in January of 2017.
Remember that's just when Trump's coming into office then uh related to the FBI's targeting of Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn.
Now we know that the Mike Flynn targeting was completely illegitimate.
And now we know that Obama was in the meetings when the decisions about what illegitimate things they would do against Mike Flynn uh were discussed.
Um and then uh Gabbert says there is irrefutable evidence that details how Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an int intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.
Now, here's the part where it gets dicey.
How do we know what somebody else knew?
I mean, I I get that the circumstantial evidence and the direct evidence certainly indicate that they must have, you know, known that they were making up a fake hoax.
Um, they must have known it was fake.
But I'm going to double down on my opinion that you wouldn't be able to prove it in court.
So the standard that you and I go by is sort of a common sense standard.
If we know that these people did this and that and we know what their incentives were, you can reasonably conclude what they knew and why they did it.
But I don't know that it's it's going to be any legal standard for that, you know, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because it seems that they could simply claim that they thought it was real.
Now, you might say to me, Scott, they knew that the steel the steel dossier was not credible and yet they used it as part of their explanation of why they could go after uh Trump.
To which I say there's a big difference between knowing it's not credible and knowing none of it's true because they can claim we knew some of it was not credible.
We didn't know at the time that none of it was true.
They might even claim some of it was true because you've heard him say that recently.
Well, not everything was debunked.
Even though I think there's no evidence for any of it, but there's some of it that maybe wasn't debunked.
It's just there's no evidence for it.
So, is that the same?
If you can't debunk something, but you can't prove it didn't happen, maybe sort of you could argue that the intelligence people said, well, you know, it wasn't the the best evidence talking about the steel dossier, but it did fit the other stuff we were looking at in some way.
So, somehow it fit into the larger story.
So, you know, it was our judgment that that needed to be part of it.
Now, in retrospect, we can look at it and say, "Well, that was a terrible judgment." But do you think they can argue, "Well, we were wrong.
Maybe we were wrong, but that was our legitimate judgment that the Russia was helping Trump." It just seemed likely.
So, I don't think that anybody's going to get perwalked and put in jail over this.
I know you want it, and I want it, too.
Trust me, I want people to go to jail.
I just don't want you to feel too disappointed when it doesn't happen.
Get it?
I'm priming you.
Um, what else?
Bill O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly predicts that U.
John Brennan, who is the CIA chief behind all of that, will be indicted for publishing fraudulent intelligence reports.
He said that to News Nation's Chris Cuomo.
I don't know, maybe indicted, but convicted.
I'm still going to say no.
He will just weasle his way out of that, I think.
um and and he would be charged with essentially making up the argument that Putin intended or preferred Trump to win.
So apparently there's no evidence that Putin wanted Trump to win or expected he could.
Uh and indeed there's some evidence of the opposite although I don't know how they got that.
So, the evidence for the opposite um appears to come from secret sources.
So, I hate to say it, but I don't believe any secret sources.
So, if they have secret sources that say uh Putin knew that uh that Hillary was going to win or expected her to win and that he was keeping some secrets to weaken her administration when she got into office, but that but that he was not trying to get Trump into office.
He was he was trying to hold on to things to weaken Hillary when she got into office.
Now, how do we know that?
I'm pretty sure that they can't tell us how they know that because I would suggest some kind of source that's pretty close to Putin and we wouldn't want to give that up, obviously.
So, I don't believe it.
It might be true.
It might be true.
But if you tell me, "Trust us, we have secret ways of knowing this information." That happens to be exactly what my administration wants you to think.
That's not good enough for me.
But like I say, I'm convinced that they're all dirty and that they they did one of the worst criminal acts of all time with the Russian collusion hoax.
So, I don't have any doubt that that they're bad actors who deserve, you know, some legal justice, but I'm not sure I buy every part of everybody's story here.
Um, uh, let's see.
Uh, I wanted to tie together something else here.
So, let me let me do a few other things and I'll tie tie together some other stuff.
Um, how many of you found out that Obama's hoaxes, which would include the Russia hoax, and it would also include the fine people hoax because Obama was behind that and Biden ran for office.
Those two hoaxes, I would argue, um, ruined my life.
Let me say that again.
Those two hoaxes, Russia, Russia, Russia and the fine people hoax, ruined my life cuz those are the hoaxes that allowed my entire social group to say, "Are you kidding me?
You're backing Trump.
Trump's a Russian uh puppet." And uh he said that neo-Nazis are fine people.
So we can't even talk to you again.
You're so bad that we can't invite you anywhere.
We can't be your friend and you should just off.
So this is very personal to me.
Uh what what Obama did was he divided the country with these hoaxes because if you imagine a different history where there had never been a Russia hoax and there had never been a fine people hoax.
Those were the two primary ways that people became anti-Trumpers like really serious ones where where the TDS comes in.
Now, I would also argue that it's possible that uh that's what ushered in all the woke stuff.
It's what got me cancelled.
So, if you were to go back, you know, trace the causes back to their origin, you would find out that Obama and Clinton uh and Brandon, etc., and their hoaxes ruined my life.
Now, I didn't realize that until today because my natural personality is not to complain about My natural personality is to say, "Oh, that happened.
I guess I have to do this now." So, I don't spend a ton of time whining about bad things that happened to me.
I just sort of, you know, get moving to fix it and make the best of every situation.
But if you were to look at it objectively, those ruined my social life and then my professional life.
And it was entirely based on two hoaxes.
So, do I want them in jail?
Yes.
Yes.
I want Obama in jail for ruining my life with what looks like criminal acts to me.
And you know, I don't know if the Finding People hoax was a criminal act, but it was definitely a conspiracy.
They were all in on it and they all knew the truth and the news backed them up.
So, the news was, you know, part of the bad guys.
If if you said there's a way to make some of the news hosts um get handcuffed and taken to jail because they knew that they were supporting a lie, I'd be in favor of that.
I I don't think there's any law that would support that.
Um but if there were, yeah, I I think that some of the people who ruined my life and maybe a lot of your lives should go to jail.
Absolutely.
I just don't think it's going to happen.
All right.
Um, speaking of Trump derangement syndrome, which I would say those two hoaxes triggered, um, Graham Noble is writing in Liberty Nation News that there were two Republicans who back in May uh, introduced um, some legislation.
I don't think it's been passed, but the uh, they want to have a Trump Derangement Syndrome Research Act of 2025.
So the Republicans want it to be um part of mental health that there's a Trump syndrome and they want to the act if it were passed um would involve investigating TDS origins and contributing factors including the media's role in amplifying the spread of TDS.
Now I think it would go back to the hoaxes.
I think it would go back to Obama and and Russian gate and u find people um and then it would ask people to analyze its long-term impacts on individuals me communities and public discourse.
Then explore interventions to mitigate extreme behaviors informing strategies for a healthier public square.
That's a little generic.
and then have some datadriven blah blah blah and require an annual report to Congress.
So it is an epidemic.
It it is a mental health epidemic and I think you can very clearly see that the Democrat leadership created it intentionally.
Uh maybe they didn't know how bad it would be, but they did it intentionally and they did it for political reasons and it caused 50% of the country to have a mental health breakdown.
Now I didn't get the mental health breakdown.
I just got the impact on my social life and my professional life.
But mentally, I think I'm okay as far as I know.
But their own team paid a big price.
How many of you remember that when uh Hillary was running against Trump 2015 16 that uh I was saying publicly and getting mocked mercilessly for it that Hillary Clinton looked like she had a major medical problem.
This was before, this is important, before she collapsed and got dragged into her car after the 9/11 event.
Now, after she she passed out and had to be dragged into her car, I believe everybody said the obvious.
Hey, looks like there might be some medical problem that she's she's hiding there.
So, it was easy after she passed out.
Can we all agree on that?
But I was saying it maybe a year before that and I was even predicting that she might die on the campaign trail.
Well, it turns out that based on the Tulsi Gabbard new documents that have come out that uh allegedly Russian foreign intelligence services they're they're spy people.
Um, they thought that Clinton was experiencing significant health issues in 2016 that Obama administration officials and Democrat leaders found quote extraordinarily alarming.
So, Russia was somehow aware, I think it was because they hacked the DNC maybe, um, but they were aware that the Democrats were super worried about Hillary Clinton's health.
So, do you want to give me uh give me the win on that?
I was wrong that she she did not uh she was not deceased during the campaign.
So, I was wrong on that, but apparently it was pretty bad.
And she was uh the the specific claims include her suffering from quote intensified psycho emotional problems with quote uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness and being on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers to manage those issues.
Uh the report also hinted at other conditions.
So this is nonconfirmed.
is eskeemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, COPD, that would be a breathing problem, and deep vein of thrombosis, though we don't have corroboration from any medical records to those.
Um but her own doctor back after she collapsed in that 9/11 event in 2016, her own doctor said the problem was uh uh undiagnosed pneumonia and she had some exhaustion and dehydration and that's why she passed out.
Uh over well overheating and dehydration.
Um, but the uh but the belief and here again I don't know how we know this so it's a little sketchy.
The belief is that that Putin um knew about these health problems and thought it would be better to release them after she got elected but that he was not trying to get Trump elected and didn't think that was, you know, really an option.
All right.
Um, so here is the the weird thing about this whole Russia Russia hoax situation.
So we were told that that Putin's um ambition was to sew discord and chaos in our election system.
Now, there is evidence that Russia may have been involved in exactly that sort of thing in past elections, and maybe we do the same to them, but it it was kind of at a low level.
You know, they they weren't trying to get somebody elected so much as they were trying to make people doubt the credibility of the election system.
So, that would be that would be a win for them if they can make the Americans doubt their own system.
Um, but apparently the people who made us doubt our system were Obama and what I call his winged monkeys.
You know, all of his aids and Brennan and Clapper and those guys.
When they were done, they had convinced us that Russia could control who got elected in the United States.
Am I wrong?
that the Russia hoax, the entire point of it is that our election systems and our government are so vulnerable that Russia and Putin specifically would decide who our president was.
Now, can you even imagine anything that would be sewing more discord and chaos?
And so now we learned that Putin probably didn't do anything of scale.
There were a few things that came in of Russia allegedly, but they're not really of scale.
They wouldn't have changed anything.
Um, so the weird thing is that the only person who was not involved, I'm going to read this is somebody else's joke.
Sergeant Pony Soldier said this on X.
So this is Sergeant Pony Soldier's quote.
Apparently, the only people not involved in the Trump Russia collusion issue were Trump and Russia.
Now, did any of you have that observation?
Cuz when you hear it, you say to yourself, "Oh, damn.
That's true.
The only people who were not involved in the Russia Trump collusion story were Trump and Russia.
Trump wasn't involved in any way." And apparently Russia wasn't either, at least not in any important way that changed anything.
So um so I saw a post by cynical Publus on X.
Now he's a lawyer but not a prosecutor.
So he warns us that uh his takes um are not as good as maybe a prosecutor's take.
but he is a lawyer, so he's not he's not totally guessing on stuff.
And he did a a post on X that was very helpful because he um he tied crimes, you know, crimes that are on the books to what we know so far about the Russia hoax so that we can see what crimes are in play.
Um, and there are six six crimes.
Uh, and I will just read them.
So, this is from Cynical Publus.
If you're on X, you should definitely be following him.
He's one of the best accounts you'll follow.
Uh, number one, it would be illegal to knowingly falsify classified intelligence reports for political gain.
But you see the trick?
It's knowingly.
The defense will be, well, we thought it was true.
We We thought Russia was trying to collude.
We thought they did influence the election.
So, it's not a crime because we didn't knowingly falsify anything.
We thought it was true.
So, the first one, I think, will not put anybody in jail because they that the knowingly part will be too hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
Um, and and then you're going to say, "But what about that steel dossier?" And as I said before, all they have to say is, "We knew that it wasn't highly credible, but we didn't know that every part of it was fake." So, we thought it was worthy of considering, you know, it's part of the larger story and uh maybe we were wrong, but there's no evidence that we knowingly did something fake.
And number two, uh, relying on those, uh, knowingly false classified things to do things.
But again, number two won't kick in if it wasn't proven that it was knowingly.
So number one and two are not going to be a threat to Obama if he can argue, well, we didn't know it.
Number three, releasing classified information to the media.
We don't know who did that, right?
and the media will go to jail rather than reveal their source.
So, yeah, that's great that it's illegal to release classified information to the media, but how are you going to catch anybody for that?
There's nobody to catch.
You'll never catch that person, I don't think.
Number four, conspiring with other government officials to accomplish any of the foregoing.
Um, have they done that?
Well, they they definitely conspired with other governments, maybe the UK with the Russia Russia stuff, but again, they would have to know that they were conspiring something illegal, but they could argue, "No, we asked for their help, but we thought it was for legitimate reasons." Uh, how about number five?
Lying about the foregoing to Congress while under oath.
Well, I haven't seen any politicians go to jail for lying under oath to Congress.
Um, have you remember Clapper told that Whopper that uh that they were not collecting information on Americans and it turned out just total lie.
Is Clapper in jail?
No.
So, lying to Congress, probably not putting anybody in jail.
Uh, attempting to cover up any of the foregoing.
Well, if you can't prove that any of that was a crime, would it be a crime to try to cover up the thing that wasn't a crime?
So, here's my non-awyer take.
So, remember, um, cynical Publius is not a prosecutor.
He's a lawyer but not a prosecutor.
So you should, you know, factor that into what I told you.
But then you should also factor in that I'm definitely not a lawyer of any type.
But when I look at it just from a common sense, how would you ever prove this beyond a reasonable doubt?
I would bet against it.
I don't think that you could get this past the reasonable doubt stage.
Now, is it possible that you get a grand jury to indict?
Yes, that is totally possible.
I'm not going to predict it, but the grand jury stuff is sort of easy to get.
So, I would say that the evidence that uh Tulsi Gabbert has released and plus what we know is definitely enough for a grand jury to say that it should go to go to trial.
But I don't see any chance of a conviction.
That's what I think.
Anyway, apparently the Department of Justice has launched a what they call a strike force to investigate the Tulsi Gabard's claims that the intelligence community weaponized their department.
So the postmillennials reporting on that.
So that's good.
At least they're looking into it.
Um, here's my favorite story of the day.
So, you know that uh Trump has been trying to get rid of um Jerome Powell, the head of the Fed, but he would like him to quit.
He says he's not going to fire him because that would royal the markets.
And he's uh he's repeated Trump has that firing him is off the possibility.
The only way you'd be able to fire him is if he were involved in something so illegal or corrupt that the the public would say, "Oh, okay." You know, he he has the ability legally to fire him for cause, but the cause would have to be really obvious and the public would have to see it.
Now, if it's really obvious and the public sees it, well, then maybe the markets would understand.
It's like, oh, you can't let this go.
So, the question is, would there be anything like that?
Well, as you know, Bill PTE has been u he's been uh promoting the idea that there are lots of questions to be answered with the building or the uh what do you call it the the upgrades to the Federal Reserve headquarters, which apparently are budgeted at $2.5 billion.
And as Bill PTE points out, um that is a lot of money and you should be able to build an entire building for that, you know, much less just fix up the building that already exists.
So they have some real questions there.
And uh Py had said that he would be willing to, you know, tour the site because he has a background in construction as well.
You've heard of PE Homes.
Uh that was his grandfather's business and he worked there so he knows about construction.
Um Bill Py did visit.
I don't think he had a a reservation with him.
I think he just showed up at the site and saw there were there were only like half a dozen people working.
So does make you wonder where the 2.5 billion is going.
But here is the best part.
Trump is going to uh join uh Bill PE and James Blair and Russ Vot uh on his team and today they're going to be visiting the Federal Reserve building site.
Now remember I told you that Bill Py has a background in construction so he knows what he's talking about.
What does Trump have?
Trump has, you know, he also has an extreme background in construction, specifically for these larger buildings, which I think uh would be on point.
And this is just great.
Now, I don't know that this will have any impact on Jerome Powell because the the work wouldn't even be done while he's still in office.
His term ends in May, so he's not going to spend even one day in that building after it gets rehabbed.
But maybe, you know, somebody's taking some bribes or some of that money is being wasted.
There might be more to the story.
We don't know.
Uh the the budget is so big that asking questions makes sense.
So, imagine Trump um getting to uh attack his enemy, I guess you could call it that, Jerome Powell, by looking at a construction project.
And what do you think Trump is going to say about the construction project?
Do you think he's going to go there and say, "Oh, everything looks good.
Looks like they made all the right decisions.
That budget makes sense to me." No, he is going to absolutely eviscerate the whoever is doing the building of this thing and he's going to raise all kinds of questions and boy that's going to be a fun visit.
So, uh, so Bill Py, uh, congratulations for pushing that topic forward because, um, I've told you before that when you see the government competing to try to find out who can find more fraud and get rid of it, that is a really good sign of a healthy change.
If people were simply, you know, approving more budget and spending it, you're heading to doom.
But the Trump administration and Doge especially have changed the thinking such that your highest priority, and that's what this looks like, highest priority is to look for waste and and abuse.
And so it all makes sense.
They're looking for waste and abuse.
Um, I told you that uh Trump has humorously monetized things he couldn't solve.
So, he monetized the Ukraine war by saying, "We won't put any money into it, but we will sell Europe as many weapons as they want to buy." He monetized it.
He monetized um the fentinel problem by by using it as an excuse to raise tariffs on China and also Canada and Mexico I believe.
Uh so he so he couldn't solve it but he monetized it.
And now apparently Colombia University is settling with the government for the government's claims that they were being too discriminatory against white people and not doing enough for anti-semitism.
But do you think that's a solvable problem?
Do you think you can just fix these colleges?
Maybe not.
But he monetized it.
So now Colombia is settling and they've agreed to pay $200 million to the federal government over three years and uh they're also going to settle for some equal opportunity commission for 21 million now.
So this will in theory Colombia will stop discriminating and maybe do more to squash anti-semitism.
So that was what was asked of them.
But they're also going to pay $200 million plus $21 million.
And we don't believe that they will completely get rid of all their DEI and all their bad practices.
They'll probably just hide it a little bit.
So here again, you have a problem that I don't think you could completely solve.
I mean, you could shrink it a little bit.
And that looks like what's happening.
But he's monetized it.
He monetized it again.
Um Harit Dylan uh she's on the job of chasing an all the DEI um criminals.
I say criminal because DEI is illegal at the federal level anyway.
And she's going after companies and entities that are not following the law on DI DI.
So, she's the assistant attorney general and I I'm watching her with great interest because she appears to be very capable and uh she's in the right job.
I saw a post by the rabbit hole um on X who asks this question.
Um he says uh legacy media will publish endless articles about men uh but rarely if ever cover the radicalization of women.
Now the article about men I think he means um that men are more Republican.
They're moving Republican in a big way.
But who is talking about the fact that women have been radicalized?
It's a good point.
If if men had been radicalized the way women have been radicalized, it would be a huge topic and everybody would say, "We have to unradicalize these men." What happened to these men?
They're believing all this ridiculous stuff.
But when it's women who are the radicalized ones on the left, I don't know that there's a lot of talk about reprogramming them and their mental illness or their radicalization.
Now, is he right?
I mean, this is anecdotal.
It's just observational, but I do wonder about that.
It does seems like if we're going to talk about TDS being an actual mental problem, which it is, um we should talk about the radicalization of women, especially the crazy ones because there are so many of them.
Um, according to Gizmodo, Matt Novak is writing that uh CNN says the FDA's new drug approval uh involves AI.
So AI is helping the FDA decide what to approve.
So that sounds good, right?
Probably a big improvement in their speed and the accuracy because they're using AI.
Well, well, there's a problem.
Apparently, the AI is uh hallucinating in this realm as well.
So, it's actually making up studies that never existed.
Oh, yeah.
This uh this drug should be fine.
Uh here's a study that says it works great.
But if the human didn't know to check to see if that study existed, they would be approving something for the wrong reason or disapproving it.
So that's scary.
AI is literally making up um scientific studies and inserting it into the conversation.
Oh my goodness.
So RFK Jr.
signed a recommendation to remove a um component called theosol from the the regular flu vaccines, not from the co stuff, but from regular seasonal flu vaccines.
Now, there's a little bit of a backstory to that.
Uh this thing called theosol, um at one point RFK Jr.
thought it was a cause of autism because it used to be in a lot of different shots, but apparently it got removed from the childhood shots a while ago back in 2001.
But it did not make any change in the rate of autism.
So if this had been the cause of autism, which is what RFK Jr.
suspected way back then.
Um the removal of it would have by now shown all kinds of improvements.
The the the number of people who had autism diagnosis when they were young would drop down back down to some historical baseline which was a lot lower, but it didn't.
Um, however, there's still some concern about that component and it wasn't in many things at this point, but it was in the seasonal flu shots.
To which I say, how many of you get the seasonal flu shot?
Long before the pandemic, a lot of you said, um, this seasonal flu shot is right?
Uh, I I'm one of those people, you know, once you learned that the the seasonal flu wasn't even tuned to the seasonal flu.
It it was tuned to last year's flu, which you're not going to get this year.
I mean, once I heard that, I thought, are you kidding me?
How's that even possibly true that we're we're highly recommended to get a flu shot that's designed for a virus that doesn't exist?
How in the world is that possible?
Now, I never looked into it that hard, but once I heard that, you know, that was the last time I got one of those.
So maybe someday we'll learn what causes autism or what caused the increase in it, but it looks like it wasn't that particular part of the shots.
Um, according to Newsmax, there's a Mccclaclin poll, 77% of Americans oppose amnesty for illegals.
Now, the amnesty would not just allow them to stay here, but wouldn't it also allow them to be citizens?
So, 77% oppose that.
56% uh say deport everyone who's an undocumented migrant.
56%.
So, that's where that's at.
So, I believe that although uh there's going to be a lot of complaining, it looks like the public is sort of back in Trump, at least by a majority.
Here's something else to worry about.
According to interesting engineering, uh it's possible to use wifi as a sort of a whole body fingerprint fingerprint to track humans.
So in other words, it turns out that if you were in your house where there was Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi would be disturbed by your body, you know, the way it's disturbed by any object in the house.
But the way your specific body disturbs Wi-Fi apparently is unique.
So, with about 95% accuracy, if if they've picked up how you distort Wi-Fi on one Wi-Fi system and then you went to another Wi-Fi system, they would know it was you if they had access to the Wi-Fi in both places.
Now, they don't, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine that they could get it.
So, that's a new way to track people.
tracking by their disturbance to the Wi-Fi system.
Scary, huh?
Well, apparently the Israeli uh is it Ness or Knesset?
I never know.
I I read it, but I never hear it pronounced.
They voted 71 to13 in favor of a non-binding motion for the agenda in favor of annexing the West Bank.
Um, so all right.
So I don't think that has any impact anything.
Um, I may have written that down wrong, too.
So forget about that story.
I don't have anything to say about it.
The only thing I'm going to say about the uh the uh two-state solution in Israel is that there's no way that's going to happen.
There's just no way there's going to be a two-state solution.
Uh that's my that's my prediction.
All right.
The largest teacher union in the United States, which is the NEA.
All right.
So, it's the largest teachers association uh union.
It's a union according to the Washington Free Beacon.
This is hard to believe, but I'll tell you what the story is.
um that that they want the materials that um people are using to learn history to include that the Holocaust had uh 12 million victims instead of 6 million.
6 million would be the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
But the NEA wants to expand what students think of the Holocaust to 12 million because that would include people from different faiths and that they would leave out from history the idea that Germany and Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish people.
So they want to just leave that part out and say, well, it wasn't the Jewish people per se, but it was people of different faiths and that there were 12 million of them.
So it's not really a story about, you know, what happened to the Jews.
It's more of a story about 12 million people of different faiths.
Now on top of that um uh they want to include uh lessons that say that would teach students that Israel was founded through quote forced violent displacement and dispossession.
So it would go hard at Israel for the knockbar and kicking out the uh the Palestinians who were in that location where Israel was formed.
And they would try to redefine or reframe the Holocaust as not being specifically a Jewish problem and not making it well.
So, I'm no historian, but let me just talk about it politically.
How in the world can the this teachers union survive that?
Don't you feel that Israel and the ADL and certainly all the Jewish teachers who were part of that union, don't you think they're going to go as hard as you could possibly go at that union?
I've got a feeling if you were hoping for the teachers unions to be somehow neutered that we're a lot closer to that than you thought.
Because if you get the entire Jewish community, both domestic and internationally saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't take away the Holocaust from us.
You can't take that away.
It's it's too it's too uh you know it's too built into our entire narrative, our history, uh our understanding of who we are, our understanding of the risks of of being in that situation and all that.
So I feel like the NEA, the biggest teachers union, just declared war on domestic and international Jews by this.
I mean, how do they survive that?
We'll see.
But it is uh certainly suggestive of a gigantic change where the uh Jewish Americans and Israel in particular um have just had a reputational destruction in the past year, past year or so.
So things are going to get frothy.
Um, Russia apparently is doing some publicity on what they call the the world's largest drone factory in Russia.
So, wonderful engineering is talking about this and uh it's the Alabuga Alaba factory in Tatterstan.
Um, and it's supposedly the biggest drone making facility in the world.
But here's the part that interested me.
Um, apparently for that factory 25,000 North Koreans, industrial workers were shipped in to do the work.
Do you think that the only reason that they shipped in North Koreans to do that work is because they work cheaper?
Do they work cheaper?
Maybe.
Um, is it possible that um there just weren't enough Russians?
Is Russia running out of people to do new stuff?
I feel like the biggest story is that they didn't have domestic employees to run the most important factory in their country.
They didn't have enough Russians.
Are all the Russians that can walk and do things, have they already been shipped to the war?
Have they already been killed?
Uh why in the world do they need 25,000 North Koreans for their factory?
Are you telling me that the employment situation in Russia is so good that people already had better jobs than this one?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I have questions.
But I do think that that Russia may have a population collapse uh problem that has not been discussed enough.
I think they're running out of young people.
And if you run out of young people, you're kind of in trouble.
So, we'll see.
I also wonder, I didn't look on the map to figure out where Tatterstan is, but if it's within missile range of Ukraine, is it possible the Ukraine is going to use American weapons to destroy the biggest drone factory in Russia?
And if they didn't try, why wouldn't they?
Can you think of any reason why the Ukrainians would not use if our missiles can reach it?
Do you think that they would buy new missiles and just take out the drone factory?
Cuz I don't know how a drone factory survives in a war.
Isn't the drone factory the very first thing you bomb?
I mean, I haven't run any wars, but that's how I'd handle it.
All right, that's all I got for you today.
Sorry I went late.
I'm going to say a few words privately to the local subscribers.
Beloved, beloved local subscribers, thanks for the rest of you for paying attention.
And I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place in 30 seconds.
Hello everybody. Come on in. Stream on
in. It's almost time for the live show
you've been craving.
I will get your comments working and
then we'll have something.
Oh yeah, now we got something.
[Music]
Good morning everyone and welcome to the
highlight of human civilization. It's
called Coffee with Scott Adams and
you've never had a better time. But if
you'd like to take a chance on elevating
your experience up to levels that nobody
can even understand with their tiny
shiny human brains. All you need for
that is a copper mug or a glass, a
tanker galistine, a kenzene jug or
flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it
with your favorite liquid. I like
coffee. And join me now for the
unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit
of the day, the thing that makes
everything better. It's called the
simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.
Woody says it's the first time he's ever
done this simultaneous sip. Well, now
don't you feel foolish that you never
did it until now? I know.
I know. It is uh hypnotically designed
to make you feel better.
That's actually true. So, it's not a
accident that I do a simultaneous sip of
your favorite beverage. And it's not an
accident that I like to do it
simultaneously. It's because it gives
you a little bit, just a small one, free
boost of dopamine. Probably dopamine.
That would be my guess. But yes, you
will enjoy it. Elon Musk had some things
to say. Tesla's profits uh or their
financials came out yesterday.
But among other things uh he has said
recently, he said that Starling
satellites will soon well actually now
can broadcast directly to your cell
phone. I suppose it depends which cell
phone surface you use. I don't think
it's all of them yet, but you will not
need to be near a cell tower. Um, you
will be able to use your phone anywhere
on Earth and I believe that's already
active. So, but you would need the right
cell service.
Speaking of uh Elon Musk, the Cyber Cab
estimates
um for what it would cost, I think it's
per mile, is that it would be as low as
25 to 30 cents for driving a cyber cab.
Now, you wouldn't drive it. has no
steering wheel, but uh it would be way
cheaper than any other driving solution.
And one of the reasons is that uh Elon
explains
that if you're making an automobile
that's just essentially a taxi cab that
doesn't have a driver, you can skip a
lot of expense. So, they can make them
kind of cheaply. They they assume that
they will not have to, you know, go
around corners at 80 miles an hour
because nobody would do that in a taxi.
Well, hopefully. So, you can just u
remove the ability for the car to do
high-end stuff because it will never do
that that stuff. And then
um production for the Cyber Cab is on
track for volume production in 2026.
And uh it'll be rolling out um in
Florida, Arizona, California, Nevada,
and more. And uh te um Elon says that if
we execute well, Tesla has a shot at
being the most valuable company in the
world.
The most valuable company in the world.
Now that would mean you know car sales
and cyber cabs and uh robots and all
that but to be the most valuable company
in the world they would have to beat
what? Nvidia.
I think Nvidia is the most expensive
company, right? Four trillion.
Well, we'll see. That would make uh that
would make Elon the first trillionaire.
Do you think he'll get there?
I feel like he will. I feel like Elon
will be the first trillionaire. And
that's really only four times what he
already has. So if if it's true that
Tesla, you know, executes well with
cyber cabs and with robots and more
cars, could it go up by,
you know, multiple of four?
Yeah, it could.
Well, let's uh let's see what the
competition is doing over at Uber. Um CB
CNBC is reporting that Uber is going to
allow a new option that if you're a
woman who wants to ride on Uber, you can
request a woman uh driver.
Now, that's a problem that Tesla won't
have at all because they don't have a
driver.
Which would you prefer if you had a
choice? I think I'll try to get an Uber,
but I have to wait for a woman to be
available.
Or I will summon my cyber cab because
there's no driver. I don't have to worry
about it.
Uber is not looking very competitive at
the moment because I don't know what
your experience is, but most Uber
drivers I think are male.
I don't know what the ratio is, but I
would guess three out of four. And
sometimes it's hard enough to get a
ride. Imagine how hard it would be if
you had to wait for the one out of four
um who's a woman who has been requested
by every single woman who wanted a ride.
I feel like Uber may have a plan for
putting themselves out of business.
Doesn't look like that could work. Elon
Musk also says, quote, "Batteries
are going to be a massive thing. The
scale of battery demand, I think that
not many people appreciate just how
gigantic the scale of battery demand
is."
And he goes on to say that only 0. 0001%
of people seem to appreciate this
crucial point. And that crucial point
would be this
um that the sustained power output from
the US grid is about 1 terowatt but
average usage is less than half of it.
So if you add batteries to the mix you
can run the power plants 24 hours a day
at full capacity more than doubling the
energy output per year of the United
States just with batteries. Now, every
time I bring up the fact that batteries
are going to be a big solution for our
energy needs in the future, I'm really
just, you know, cribbing from Elon Musk.
And it's not that I know anything about
batteries. It's just that I think he
probably knows more than you know about
batteries.
That's my whole B. I think he's looked
into it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's
researched batteries.
Uh, in other news, uh, teens are
starting to turn to, uh, AI for their
companionship
and, uh, they it's a much bigger thing
than you probably think. the teens using
AI. Some of them use it all day long.
Just have somebody to talk to and ask
about normal stuff like um for example,
let's see, this is written in give
credit to Joselyn Gekcker in fizz.org.
Um there's a uh young person named
Kayla, a high school student in Kansas.
She says, "No question is too small for
AI." So, the 15-year-old has always
asked Chad GPT for stuff about uh back
to school shopping and makeup colors and
low calorie um food and ideas for
birthday party,
etc.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of this
too far, but one of the things that I've
predicted for now probably 20 years is
that when it gets to the point where AI
and virtual reality and robots and stuff
become preferable to human contact,
we're in a lot of trouble.
And I would say that if you look at the
quality of the average teenager,
imagine trying to be friends with a
teenager even if you were a teenager.
Well, they wouldn't be very attentive or
nice. They might be bullies. They might
be judgmental.
But your AI, as the teens point out, is
never judgmental. It's always optimistic
and it's always helpful.
How is a human teenager going to compete
with that?
Because humans bring so many problems
with them. But the AI doesn't bring any
problems. It's just something you can
talk to and it does what you want, the
way you want it to. So, we may be
approaching that point where teens say,
"I don't really need a mate. I'll take
care of that myself."
Well, here's uh something I'm not too
surprised at. Well, maybe a little bit,
but the Mcron
um Bridget and uh whatever her husband's
name is, what is Mcronone's first name
in France? Um, they're suing Kansas
Owens
for Kansas Owens continuous claims that
Brit Breijit Mcronone was born a man.
So, um,
what what would you bet will happen with
that? It seems to me that if you did
discovery,
and you would have to, wouldn't Bridg
Bridget Mcronone need to prove that
she's biologically female in order to
win her case?
And uh Candace is doubling down. Um,
quote, "You were born a man and you will
die a man." That's the point I'm making.
I think you're sick. I think you're
disgusting. that I am fully prepared to
take on this battle, meaning the lawsuit
on behalf of the entire world. Uh, I'll
see you in court.
Now, do you think that the Mcron would
sue her unless they could easily
provide, let's say, DNA that would prove
she was a woman? I don't feel that they
would make a big deal out of this if
there was any chance they would lose.
So, I'm going to say
that um unless they're bluffing and
trying to force her into settling in
some way or shutting up or apologizing
and I don't think that this would be a
good bluff.
So, my best guess is that Bridget
Mcronone was born a woman.
That's just my best guess because I
don't think they would do the lawsuit if
Candace were right. I think they would
just try to shut her up some other way.
Um, so Candace, I wish you well. I'm
still a big fan of Candace Owens. I
don't I don't need to agree with her on
everything and I know she's a good
stirer, but wow is she talented. She is
so talented. Um, I'm always impressed by
that.
Well, Hunter Biden, um,
I love how Hunter Biden can make any
situation worse.
just when the topic has changed a little
bit from um his father's brain and that
cover up, he does a he does a podcast
and he he says, and I didn't catch this
as being the problem, but now I
understand it is. He said that his
father was on ambient, the sleeping
pill, and that that might explain
because there's a little there's a
fairly substantial after effect of the
ambient which they tell you about. It's
a well understood phenomenon. Um, and
that that might be why he the father Joe
didn't do well at the debate because it
might have been a little ambient
hangover happening there.
Now, it turns out that the medical
establishment would like you to know,
and I saw this on a Dr. Drew clip on
Instagram. Um, Dr. Drew points out that
if you had a patient that was that age
and had trouble walking and maybe there
was some Parkinson's going on, I don't
think that's confirmed, but uh if you
had somebody who was as unstable and as
old as Joe Biden and then on top of that
um he his job was to wake up at 3:00
a.m. If there's an emergency, you know,
the president's job, that it would be
close to,
you know, almost a criminal activity to
prescribe ambient to somebody like that
in that specific situation. It wouldn't
be illegal, but it would be on that, you
know, dangerously flirting with
malpractice because if something
happened, if that person uh that age and
that mobility fell over, um, everybody
would say, well, it's because somebody
gave them ambient. Everybody knows if
you give ambient to somebody in that
condition, the odds of them falling down
are much higher. So maybe you shouldn't
have done that. So somehow Hunter um
took a topic that was fading in our
minds. You know, we were starting to
forget a little bit about the Biden
brain coverup and then we find out that
maybe the way he was cared for was
horrible.
If it's true, we don't know it's true,
but if it's true that ambient was part
of the story, boy, somebody has a lot of
explaining to do, which would be his
doctor, I would think. But we don't know
for sure that he was on ambient or that
had anything to do with anything.
Unfortunately, Hunter is not the most
reliable witness.
Well, if you were waiting to find out
what would happen in the courts with uh
Trump's effort to ban uh birthright
citizenship, that's where if somebody's
not a citizen, but they have a baby in
our country. The Constitution seems to
say that those babies would be
automatically citizens, but Trump
doesn't want that. And a lot of people
who are proTrump don't want that
situation. And so Trump tried to ban it,
but uh you would not be surprised to
know that uh a a federal appeals court
just ruled that um Trump can't do that
and that those babies are indeed
citizens of the United States. So that's
a ruling from the 9inth US Circuit Court
of Appeals. But that just means that
this topic gets bumped up to the Supreme
Court. Now, how many of you think the
Supreme Court
will ban, which is what Trump would
want, ban birthright citizenship by
interpreting the Constitution in a sort
of an originalist form? Um, where nobody
really anticipated this particular
problem, which is massive unchecked
immigration and lots of babies. So,
what's your bet? I wouldn't put a bet on
this one.
Yeah. Yeah. I see in the comments 50/50.
That's exactly where I am. If you said,
Scott, place a bet. Yeah. You must you
must think one of those is more likely
than the other. I really don't. To me,
this is a total coin flip. It Well,
uh I'll uh I'll commit. All right. I'll
commit. I I'll commit to the Supreme
Court will not ban birthright
citizenship.
I feel like it would be too big of a
move even for the all the conservatives.
There might be a few votes for it, but I
I think the Supreme Court's going to
agree with the lower court. What do you
think? Anything is possible.
So, it's possible it could go the other
way, but I'll uh just for fun, I'll uh
keep my prediction that it only goes one
way.
Well, uh Nikita Byer, who is the head of
product X, did a post at X called the
current state of the medical
establishment. So, listen to this
experience. Um so, Nikita says, u
brought a friend to the ER for a high
fever.
uh put their symptoms into Grock. Grock
told me to ask for four tests. The
doctor, this is the ER doctor, said one
of them is unnecessary. I insisted we do
them all. The test came back positive on
the one he didn't want to do.
So that's the state of current medicine.
your doctor has a lot of things on his
or her mind, especially an ER doctor,
you know, they're they're just seeing
lots of different things come through
all day long. So, imagine the cognitive
load on their brain, first of all. Then
second of all, um imagine all the
possible things that can go wrong with
any prescription or any diagnosis, etc.
And if you're not already checking your
doctor's work with AI,
you should start,
may I say that again as loudly as
possible, you should never take medical
advice from me on anything because I'm a
cartoonist and not your doctor. But I do
think we've reached the point in history
where if you're not at least looking at
the AI to see what it says compared to
your doctor, but then ultimately you
should check with your doctor, right? If
the doctor says no AI is hallucinating,
I would go with the doctor.
But you want to know what the other
argument is. So I'll give you my
experience recently. So, a lot of my
doctoring, especially because of the
holidays, I couldn't get in for an
actual doctor when I had a shingles
attack, which I've recently recovered
from. So, my neck and the side of my
face was breaking out in some kind of
mysterious
uh bumps.
And I started by sending a picture
because I could still get some service
from my healthc care provider by email
and said, "Take a look at this picture."
And then I guessed there might be spider
bites because there were only three or
four bumps.
And the doctor who was covering for my
doctor who was on vacation said, "Well,
you know, it might be spider bites, but
we don't know. So take some antibiotics
and do something else. Take some allergy
stuff." But what they didn't guess is
shingles. So that wasn't part of the the
guess.
Uh so time goes by and it gets worse. So
from three bumps it goes to I don't know
15 15 bumps or so. At that point uh my
own experience kicked in and I said it's
only in one place. There's no way that a
spider is coming back to bite me every
day in that same one area and no place
else. Um, so it's probably something
else. And so I guessed shingles, which
I've never seen. I've never seen anybody
who had it, but I, you know, used AI and
looked it up and it looked to me it
looked like the pictures on the
internet. So I wrote back to my doctor
and said, "You know what? I think it's
shingles." And then I got a prescription
for exactly what I needed for shingles.
The doctor agreed as there were more
bumps. Now, to be fair, when there were
only, you know, three or four bumps, it
could have been a bug bite.
Um, it it was only obvious to me when
there were lots of them. But if you're
not doing that exercise where first you
check with AI, then you check with your
doctor, and then after your doctor tells
you something, you check with AI again.
Maybe even check on the medication that
was prescribed and maybe check it
against all of your other medications.
Have you done this yet? Take your AI and
put it on the visual mode where it can
see what you see. then take a picture of
all your medications and all of your um
nonprescription drugs, you know, say
supplements and stuff so that the AI
knows what you're already on. And then
if something else is u is prescribed,
even the doctor doesn't know about your
supplements probably. So then your AI
would tell you, hey, don't do this one
with that one or stop doing this one
with that one.
So, um, yes, check your AI. Speaking of
AI, Trump signed three, uh,
administrative executive orders, I
guess, on AI. And, uh, one of them is
that, uh, the US government will not buy
any AI product that's too woke. So, it
can't be essentially an anti-white
person AI. the government will not uh be
part of that.
It says uh Trump would not uh would not
allow the government to buy an AI that
says George Washington was black or that
or that refuses to uh note that white
people had some accomplishments in
history. Um or argue that misgendering
someone is worse than a nuclear
apocalypse. All those things have
actually happened. So, there's that.
Anyway, Trump appears to be um AI's
biggest friend. Um but he's willing to
take out a little more risk that maybe
another leader would. And I feel like
that's exactly the right place to be. If
you were to make a continuum of, you
know, a graph or something of all the
people who are afraid of AI, you know,
what it might do in the near future, you
would have people who say, "Yeah, you
should slow down." And you would have
other people just in case, you know,
it's an existential threat. And other
people would say, "You better hurry up
because the biggest existential threat
is your competitor getting there first."
So you got two ways to die. One is being
too slow with AI and the other is being
too fast and not having enough guard
rails. Two ways to die. Trump is biased
toward um beating the competition.
So that would be optimism that we could
control the worst, you know,
possibilities
of the AI, but we wouldn't be able to
control the worst impulses of the human
leaders of other countries that are
adversaries.
I feel like he's exactly right on that.
It's a guess because you don't know
which way it could go, right? It could
go either way, but I would take his his
same uh risk. I would say that the
biggest risk is somebody gets there
first. That's a big big risk. The risk
of it killing us just because that's
built into the risk of the technology.
I feel we have a much better chance of
controlling that than we do of
controlling let's say China.
So I think Trump is completely right on
this and that would mean that uh David
Sachs is advising him really well and I
think that is the case if Trump isn't
listening to everything that the Sachs
tells him. That would be a mistake. But
by now, I'm pretty sure the
administration and Trump in particular,
he knows who the smart people are. And
when Saxs tells him what to do on one of
these topics like crypto or AI, I'm
pretty sure he's listening. And that is
just nothing would make me more
comfortable than that because Sax also
is connected to all the people who know
everything about those topics. So, it's
not like he's sitting in a room by
himself making up opinions. he's
connected to all the smartest people. So
that is really good news in terms of the
organization of your government.
Um MSNBC
is saying out loud that the worst
predictions that inflation was going to
be fueled by Trump's tariffs have not
turned out to be the case. So MSNBC is
saying directly, well, we were kind of
worried about all this inflation, but by
now we should have seen some. Uh Scott
Basant, head out of the Treasury is
explaining that the reason for that is
probably that uh that the cost increases
are being absorbed by the the shipper or
the receiver
and that there were some margins there
that they had to play with. We might not
see
we might never see uh inflation caused
by that. Now, have I ever told you that
economics is mostly guessing?
Wouldn't you think that the easiest
thing you could predict if you were some
professional economist is whether these
tariffs would increase inflation?
Shouldn't that be right on the list of
the easiest things you could ever
predict?
And apparently it went the other way so
far. I mean, it could all reverse
tomorrow, I suppose. But at the moment,
pretty much almost every economist got
this wrong. I'm I'm thinking back to my
days under Jimmy Carter's presidency
and there was a belief that you couldn't
have um slow growth and inflation at the
same time so-called stagflation for
stagnant economy with inflation but it
happened and I think the economist said
that's not even possible but it
happened.
So, a lot of uh a lot of what you think
is science and economics, it really
isn't. It really isn't.
Uh meanwhile, the US and the EU
are getting closer to a deal according
to a number of reports. Um and Trump
says he's got a 15% tariff deal with
Japan, which would be a gigantic relief
because they're one of our bigger
trading partners. And uh that would be
an improvement for the US.
And as I've said a number of times that
uh Trump will apparently given that
things look like they're starting to
work out, he will be announcing big
trade deals that are better for America
probably one a week for weeks and weeks
and weeks. And the Democrats are going
to be so mad.
So mad that the main thing they had to
about, which was the tariffs, are
turning out to be a gigantic victory
that you will be reminded of every week
because it'll just be one after another
saying, "All right, all right, we'll pay
extra tariffs and your inflation is not
going up."
Well, uh, Representative James Comr has
issued and his group in Congress issued
a subpoena to Galain Maxwell and I
believe that they're planning to talk to
her today at her prison. So, that means
somebody in his group will depose her or
get her opinion on a bunch of questions
today.
Um, but I would like to point out that
the the uh theory that we live in a
simulation is now proven by the fact
that comr is going against a groomer.
Comr versus the groomer. Come on. We
must be living in a simulation. There's
no way that's natural.
So, will we learn anything? I don't
think so. My my guess is that Galain has
nothing to say. Do you do you know what
I would do if I were Gain?
I would say um I'm happy to sit here and
listen to your questions, but it would
be against my interest to answer them.
Because if I'm going to tell you some
juicy stuff that you really want to
hear, and boy do I have some juicy
stuff. If you want me to name names, I'm
not going to do it from prison. you're
going to have to get to the DOJ and
you're going to have to make me a deal
to get out of prison. Uh, and then I'll
tell you everything you need to know.
So, I feel as if there's a very low odds
that she will name names we haven't
heard before.
So, I wouldn't I wouldn't get all
excited about this one.
Well, apparently we have learned that
the Department of Justice told Trump
back in May that his name, among many
other names of people, are on the
Epstein files. Now, that doesn't mean
he's on the client list, and there is no
client list that we know of. It just
means that he's mentioned as are many
prominent people who knew Epstein but
does not mean and there is no indication
that Trump is accused of any unto
behavior.
So
is it possible that the real reason
Trump wants the Epstein files to go away
is that his name is in the files?
Maybe.
Yeah. Maybe.
And if he knows that he was not guilty
of anything, but it would give the
Democrats this gigantic hammer to hammer
him on endlessly.
I could see why he might say, "Uh, we're
done here. There's nothing to see. I
don't know if that's why, but you could
imagine that that would be a pretty good
reason from his perspective."
Well, I'll uh I'll say again, there's no
indication. whatsoever that Trump is
accused of any bad behavior.
It's just his name is mentioned as a
presumably an associate or friend of or
a contact of Epstein's at one point
before he banned him from Marago and cut
all contact.
Um,
apparently the House panel is also
directing the chairman to subpoena Bill
and Hillary Clinton about the Epstein
probe according to Fox News. Now, do you
think that Hillary and Bill Clinton will
have anything to say
that won't be a lie?
I don't think we're going to learn
anything from either of those two.
They're a little bit too smooth. Uh, we
might find out what the def definition
of is is and maybe Bill Clinton will
say, "I did not I did not sleep with any
of those women." Well, how about this
one? No, not that one either. How about
this one and this one? No, not them
either. I did not sleep with them. So,
he might be busy.
Um, Hakee Jeff, Democrat Hakee Jeff
says, uh, quote, "It is reasonable to
conclude the Republicans are continuing
to protect the lifestyles of the rich
and shameless, even if that includes
pedophiles." So, he's talking about the
nonrelease of all of the Epstein files,
right? Because we assume there's stuff
we haven't seen that would tell us
something. So here is my lesson for the
day. Uh this is something I learned in
hypnosis class years ago. And do you
remember I told you that when Trump said
he was asked some question recently, he
started his answer with I would say and
I told you that if you start with I
would say whatever follows that is going
to be a lie.
You don't start a true statement that
you believe in that's just a statement
of truth. You don't start that sentence
with well I would say you just don't
you only do that when you're saying
something that may not fully check out.
So
has a similar tell when he says it's
reasonable to conclude.
You don't start your sentence with it's
reasonable to conclude if it's
reasonable to conclude
and it's also true and it's obvious and
it's just a fact. You just don't start
with those words. It's reasonable to
conclude. So, in hypnosis class, what I
learned,
among other things, is that when people
say things
um extemporaneously, meaning they're
talking off the top of their heads, they
often will say the truth if you just
look for it in the exact wording.
So, people have a real hard problem of
not saying what's true when they're
speaking off the top of their head. It's
just that they might hide it in a part
of a sentence that says the opposite of
what is true. This would be it. I would
say signal or it's reasonable to
conclude signal.
And there's probably a million varieties
of that, but yeah, that's that's telling
you he doesn't believe what he's saying.
Well, another no surprise. Zero Hedge is
reporting that uh a judge has denied the
DOJ request to unseal the Epstein grand
jury transcripts. How many of you
thought that just because the Department
of Justice asked for that to be done
that you were going to see the Epstein
grand jury transcripts?
If you believe that was going to happen,
um you were not well informed on that
topic. I don't think there was really
any chance it was going to happen. And
I'm happy it didn't. I I would rather I
would rather preserve the standard
that if you're going to if you're going
to violate something like that, which
is, you know, really intended to be
private because the grand jury is not
like the actual case with um proven
evidence and facts.
It's uh way more speculative as in yeah,
yeah, that looks like it probably should
go to court, but it hasn't gone to
court, which means that the defense has
not presented its defense. So, if you
saw a bunch of accusations on a grand
jury transcript,
you being not a lawyer, you would never
say, "Well, it's just a grand jury, you
know, we can't take that as fact." No.
in a political sense, you would
immediately treat it like it was fact
when you shouldn't. So, I'm in favor of,
as much as I would love to see all the
Epstein stuff, I wouldn't want it to be
revealed this way. And so, I I agree
with the court to keep the grand jury
testimony private.
Um,
we've learned that Barack Obama was um
at his home, which was right near where
his personal chef drowned.
So,
he's not uh Obama is not being blamed
for drowning him, but apparently he was
there um not necessarily at the drowning
site, but at his home that was right
nearby.
Um, oh, I'm seeing in the comments that
Duritz thinks Maxwell should be released
because five years
is usually the max sentence for what she
did.
H
and uh he says that she got basically
Epstein's sentence because Epstein
wasn't available. Well, he's probably
right. Um anyway, so but there was one
witness we heard on this uh personal
chef drowning, Obama's personal chef
that there was a woman who witnessed it,
saw him fall off his board and not come
up. And uh so we have one witness that
it was an accident as opposed to the
murder that you might have suspected,
but we have not heard much about that
witness.
So I wouldn't say that that's 100%
conclusive, but I would lean toward
accident.
Well, the big news yesterday was Tulsi
Gabard DNI uh released new documents
about the Russia Russia Russia hoax and
Trump. And
she's not recommending specific charges
for anybody. Uh but she says and says it
repeatedly that the Department of
Justice uh now knows what she knows
because they've turned it over to the
Department of Justice and they alone
will decide if there are any legal
charges that are appropriate.
But uh don't look to Tulsi Gabbert to
tell you if some law was broken. That is
um the domain of the Department of
Justice which which is looking into it.
Um, but let me tell you what we think we
know now. We know now from documents
that Obama was made aware that uh
Hillary Clinton was planning a fake
hoax. Uh, the Clinton plan intelligence
it was called. So he knew that in the
summer of 2016, so before the election
he knew that Clinton was doing this fake
thing.
Um,
and I guess John Durham mentioned it in
a report, so that's how Obama would know
it. Uh, then Obama directed the creation
of a new intelligence community
assessment
that said instead of saying what it said
at first, which is there's no evidence
that the Russians directly um directly
hacked the voting systems and changed
any votes. So there's no evidence of any
of that, but uh Obama directed them to
um rewrite it
um after Trump was victorious in the
election.
So that's a little suspicious looking,
right? Um and the rewrite would focus on
Russia's meddling, but it wouldn't
change the fact that they didn't see any
direct changing of votes on the election
system.
Um then the President Obama was part of
uh uh big discussions in January of
2017. Remember that's just when Trump's
coming into office then uh related to
the FBI's targeting of Trump national
security adviser Mike Flynn. Now we know
that the Mike Flynn targeting was
completely illegitimate.
And now we know that Obama was in the
meetings when the decisions about what
illegitimate things they would do
against Mike Flynn uh were discussed.
Um
and then uh Gabbert says there is
irrefutable evidence that details how
Obama and his national security team
directed the creation of an int
intelligence community assessment that
they knew was false. Now, here's the
part where it gets dicey. How do we know
what somebody else knew?
I mean, I I get that the circumstantial
evidence and the direct evidence
certainly indicate that they must have,
you know, known that they were making up
a fake hoax. Um, they must have known it
was fake.
But
I'm going to double down on my opinion
that you wouldn't be able to prove it in
court.
So the standard that you and I go by is
sort of a common sense standard. If we
know that these people did this and that
and we know what their incentives were,
you can reasonably conclude what they
knew and why they did it. But I don't
know that it's it's going to be any
legal standard for that, you know,
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because
it seems that they could simply claim
that they thought it was real. Now, you
might say to me, Scott, they knew that
the steel the steel dossier was not
credible and yet they used it as part of
their explanation of why they could go
after uh Trump. To which I say there's a
big difference between knowing it's not
credible
and knowing none of it's true
because they can claim we knew some of
it was not credible. We didn't know at
the time that none of it was true. They
might even claim some of it was true
because you've heard him say that
recently. Well, not everything was
debunked. Even though I think there's no
evidence for any of it, but there's some
of it that maybe wasn't debunked. It's
just there's no evidence for it.
So, is that the same? If you can't
debunk something, but you can't prove it
didn't happen,
maybe sort of you could argue that the
intelligence people said, well, you
know, it wasn't the the best evidence
talking about the steel dossier, but it
did fit the other stuff we were looking
at in some way. So, somehow it fit into
the larger story. So, you know, it was
our judgment that that needed to be part
of it.
Now, in retrospect, we can look at it
and say, "Well, that was a terrible
judgment."
But do you think they can argue, "Well,
we were wrong. Maybe we were wrong, but
that was our legitimate judgment that
the Russia was helping Trump." It just
seemed likely.
So, I don't think that anybody's going
to get perwalked and put in jail over
this. I know you want it, and I want it,
too. Trust me, I want people to go to
jail. I just don't want you to feel too
disappointed when it doesn't happen. Get
it? I'm priming you. Um,
what else? Bill O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly
predicts that U. John Brennan, who is
the CIA chief behind all of that, will
be indicted for publishing fraudulent
intelligence reports. He said that to
News Nation's Chris Cuomo. I don't know,
maybe indicted,
but convicted. I'm still going to say
no. He will just weasle his way out of
that, I think.
um and and he would be charged with
essentially making up the argument that
Putin intended or preferred Trump to
win. So apparently there's no evidence
that Putin wanted Trump to win or
expected he could. Uh and indeed there's
some evidence of the opposite although I
don't know how they got that. So, the
evidence for the opposite
um appears to come from secret sources.
So, I hate to say it, but I don't
believe any secret sources.
So, if they have secret sources that say
uh Putin knew
that uh that Hillary was going to win or
expected her to win and that he was
keeping some secrets to weaken her
administration when she got into office,
but that but that he was not trying to
get Trump into office. He was he was
trying to hold on to things to weaken
Hillary when she got into office. Now,
how do we know that? I'm pretty sure
that they can't tell us how they know
that because I would suggest some kind
of source that's pretty close to Putin
and we wouldn't want to give that up,
obviously.
So, I don't believe it. It might be
true. It might be true. But if you tell
me, "Trust us, we have secret ways of
knowing this information." That happens
to be exactly what my administration
wants you to think.
That's not good enough for me. But like
I say, I'm convinced that they're all
dirty and that they they did one of the
worst criminal acts of all time with the
Russian collusion hoax. So, I don't have
any doubt
that that they're bad actors who
deserve, you know, some legal justice,
but I'm not sure I buy every part of
everybody's story here.
Um,
uh, let's see. Uh,
[Music]
I wanted to tie together something else
here. So,
let me let me do a few other things and
I'll tie tie together some other stuff.
Um,
how many of you
found out that Obama's hoaxes,
which would include
the Russia hoax,
and it would also include the fine
people hoax because Obama was behind
that and Biden ran for office. Those two
hoaxes, I would argue,
um, ruined my life.
Let me say that again. Those two hoaxes,
Russia, Russia, Russia and the fine
people hoax, ruined my life cuz those
are the hoaxes that allowed my entire
social group to say, "Are you kidding
me? You're backing Trump.
Trump's a Russian uh puppet." And uh he
said that neo-Nazis are fine people. So
we can't even talk to you again. You're
so bad that we can't invite you
anywhere. We can't be your friend and
you should just off. So this is
very personal to me. Uh what what Obama
did was he divided the country with
these hoaxes because if you imagine a
different history where there had never
been a Russia hoax and there had never
been a fine people hoax.
Those were the two primary ways that
people became anti-Trumpers like really
serious ones where where the TDS comes
in.
Now, I would also argue that it's
possible
that uh that's what ushered in all the
woke stuff. It's what got me cancelled.
So, if you were to go back, you know,
trace the causes back to their origin,
you would find out that Obama and
Clinton
uh and Brandon, etc., and their hoaxes
ruined my life.
Now, I didn't realize that until today
because my natural personality is not to
complain about My natural
personality is to say, "Oh, that
happened. I guess I have to do this
now." So, I don't spend a ton of time
whining about bad things that happened
to me. I just sort of, you know, get
moving to fix it and make the best of
every situation.
But if you were to look at it
objectively, those
ruined my social life and then my
professional life. And it was entirely
based on two hoaxes.
So, do I want them in jail? Yes. Yes. I
want Obama in jail for ruining my life
with what looks like criminal acts to
me. And you know, I don't know if the
Finding People hoax was a criminal act,
but it was definitely a conspiracy. They
were all in on it and they all knew the
truth and the news backed them up. So,
the news was, you know, part of the bad
guys. If if you said there's a way to
make some of the news hosts
um get handcuffed and taken to jail
because they knew that they were
supporting a lie, I'd be in favor of
that. I I don't think there's any law
that would support that. Um but if there
were, yeah, I I think that some of the
people who ruined my life and maybe a
lot of your lives should go to jail.
Absolutely. I just don't think it's
going to happen.
All right. Um, speaking of Trump
derangement syndrome, which I would say
those two hoaxes triggered,
um, Graham Noble is writing in Liberty
Nation News that there were two
Republicans who back in May uh,
introduced
um, some legislation. I don't think it's
been passed, but the uh, they want to
have a Trump Derangement Syndrome
Research Act of 2025.
So the Republicans want it to be um part
of mental health that there's a Trump
syndrome and they want to the act if it
were passed um would involve
investigating TDS origins and
contributing factors including the
media's role in amplifying the spread of
TDS. Now I think it would go back to the
hoaxes.
I think it would go back to Obama and
and Russian gate and u find people
um and then it would ask people to
analyze its long-term impacts on
individuals me communities and public
discourse. Then explore interventions to
mitigate extreme behaviors informing
strategies for a healthier public
square. That's a little generic.
and then have some datadriven blah blah
blah and require an annual report to
Congress. So it is an epidemic.
It it is a mental health epidemic and I
think you can very clearly see that the
Democrat leadership created it
intentionally.
Uh maybe they didn't know how bad it
would be, but they did it intentionally
and they did it for political reasons
and it caused 50% of the country to have
a mental health breakdown.
Now I didn't get the mental health
breakdown. I just got the impact on my
social life and my professional life.
But mentally, I think I'm okay as far as
I know.
But their own team paid a big price.
How many of you remember that when uh
Hillary was running against Trump 2015
16 that uh I was saying publicly and
getting mocked mercilessly for it that
Hillary Clinton looked like she had a
major medical problem.
This was before, this is important,
before she collapsed and got dragged
into her car after the 9/11 event. Now,
after she she passed out and had to be
dragged into her car, I believe
everybody said the obvious. Hey, looks
like there might be some medical problem
that she's she's hiding there. So, it
was easy after she passed out. Can we
all agree on that? But I was saying it
maybe a year before that and I was even
predicting that she might die on the
campaign trail. Well, it turns out that
based on the Tulsi Gabbard new documents
that have come out that uh allegedly
Russian foreign intelligence services
they're they're spy people. Um, they
thought that Clinton was experiencing
significant health issues in 2016 that
Obama administration officials and
Democrat leaders found quote
extraordinarily alarming.
So, Russia was somehow aware, I think it
was because they hacked the DNC maybe,
um, but they were aware that the
Democrats
were super worried about Hillary
Clinton's health. So,
do you want to give me uh give me the
win on that? I was wrong that she she
did not uh she was not deceased
during the campaign. So, I was wrong on
that, but apparently it was pretty bad.
And she was uh the the specific claims
include her suffering from quote
intensified psycho emotional problems
with quote uncontrolled fits of anger,
aggression and cheerfulness
and being on a daily regimen of heavy
tranquilizers to manage those issues. Uh
the report also hinted at other
conditions. So this is nonconfirmed.
is eskeemic heart disease, type 2
diabetes, COPD,
that would be a breathing problem, and
deep vein of thrombosis,
though we don't have corroboration from
any medical records to those.
Um but her own doctor back after she
collapsed in that 9/11 event in 2016,
her own doctor said the problem was uh
uh undiagnosed pneumonia
and she had some exhaustion and
dehydration and that's why she passed
out. Uh over well overheating and
dehydration.
Um,
but the uh
but the belief and here again I don't
know how we know this so it's a little
sketchy. The belief is that that Putin
um knew about these health problems and
thought it would be better to release
them after she got elected but that he
was not trying to get Trump elected and
didn't think that was, you know, really
an option.
All right. Um,
so here is the the weird thing about
this whole Russia Russia hoax situation.
So we were told that that Putin's um
ambition was to sew discord and chaos in
our election system.
Now, there is evidence that Russia may
have been involved in exactly that sort
of thing in past elections, and maybe we
do the same to them, but it it was kind
of at a low level. You know, they they
weren't trying to get somebody elected
so much as they were trying to make
people doubt the credibility of the
election system. So, that would be that
would be a win for them if they can make
the Americans doubt their own system.
Um,
but apparently the people who made us
doubt our system were Obama and what I
call his winged monkeys. You know, all
of his aids and Brennan and Clapper and
those guys. When they were done, they
had convinced us that Russia could
control who got elected in the United
States. Am I wrong? that the Russia
hoax, the entire point of it is that our
election systems and our government are
so vulnerable that Russia and Putin
specifically would decide who our
president was.
Now, can you even imagine anything that
would be sewing more discord and chaos?
And so now we learned that Putin
probably didn't do anything of scale.
There were a few things that came in of
Russia allegedly, but they're not really
of scale. They wouldn't have changed
anything.
Um, so the weird thing is that the only
person who was not involved,
I'm going to read this is somebody
else's joke. Sergeant Pony Soldier said
this on X. So this is Sergeant Pony
Soldier's quote. Apparently, the only
people not involved in the Trump Russia
collusion issue were Trump and Russia.
Now, did any of you have that
observation? Cuz when you hear it, you
say to yourself, "Oh, damn. That's true.
The only people who were not involved in
the Russia Trump collusion story were
Trump and Russia. Trump wasn't involved
in any way." And apparently Russia
wasn't either, at least not in any
important way that changed anything.
So
um
so I saw a post by cynical Publus on X.
Now he's a lawyer but not a prosecutor.
So he warns us that uh his takes
um are not as good as maybe a
prosecutor's take. but he is a lawyer,
so he's not he's not totally guessing on
stuff.
And he did a a post on X that was very
helpful because he um he tied crimes,
you know, crimes that are on the books
to what we know so far about the Russia
hoax so that we can see what crimes are
in play. Um, and there are six six
crimes.
Uh, and I will just read them. So, this
is from Cynical Publus. If you're on X,
you should definitely be following him.
He's one of the best accounts you'll
follow. Uh, number one, it would be
illegal to knowingly falsify classified
intelligence reports for political gain.
But you see the trick? It's knowingly.
The defense will be, well, we thought it
was true. We We thought Russia was
trying to collude. We thought they did
influence the election. So, it's not a
crime because we didn't knowingly
falsify anything. We thought it was
true. So, the first one, I think, will
not put anybody in jail because they
that the knowingly part will be too hard
to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Um,
and and then you're going to say, "But
what about that steel dossier?" And as I
said before, all they have to say is,
"We knew that it wasn't highly credible,
but we didn't know that every part of it
was fake." So, we thought it was worthy
of considering, you know, it's part of
the larger story and uh maybe we were
wrong, but there's no evidence that we
knowingly did something fake.
And number two, uh, relying on those,
uh, knowingly false classified things to
do things. But again, number two won't
kick in if it wasn't proven that it was
knowingly.
So number one and two are not going to
be a threat to Obama if he can argue,
well, we didn't know it. Number three,
releasing classified information to the
media.
We don't know who did that, right? and
the media will go to jail rather than
reveal their source. So, yeah, that's
great that it's illegal to release
classified information to the media, but
how are you going to catch anybody for
that? There's nobody to catch. You'll
never catch that person, I don't think.
Number four, conspiring with other
government officials to accomplish any
of the foregoing.
[Music]
Um, have they done that? Well, they they
definitely conspired with other
governments, maybe the UK
with the Russia Russia stuff, but again,
they would have to know that they were
conspiring
something illegal, but they could argue,
"No, we asked for their help, but we
thought it was for legitimate reasons."
Uh, how about number five? Lying about
the foregoing to Congress while under
oath. Well, I haven't seen any
politicians go to jail for lying under
oath to Congress.
Um, have you
remember Clapper told that Whopper that
uh that they were not collecting
information on Americans
and it turned out just total lie.
Is Clapper in jail? No. So, lying to
Congress, probably not putting anybody
in jail. Uh, attempting to cover up any
of the foregoing. Well, if you can't
prove that any of that was a crime,
would it be a crime to try to cover up
the thing that wasn't a crime?
So, here's my non-awyer take. So,
remember, um, cynical Publius is not a
prosecutor. He's a lawyer but not a
prosecutor. So you should, you know,
factor that into what I told you. But
then you should also factor in that I'm
definitely not a lawyer of any type. But
when I look at it just from a common
sense, how would you ever prove this
beyond a reasonable doubt?
I would bet against it. I don't think
that you could get this past the
reasonable doubt stage. Now, is it
possible that you get a grand jury to
indict?
Yes,
that is totally possible. I'm not going
to predict it,
but the grand jury stuff is sort of easy
to get. So, I would say that the
evidence that uh Tulsi Gabbert has
released and plus what we know is
definitely enough for a grand jury to
say that it should go to go to trial.
But I don't see any chance of a
conviction.
That's what I think.
Anyway, apparently the Department of
Justice has launched a what they call a
strike force to investigate the Tulsi
Gabard's claims that the intelligence
community weaponized their department.
So the postmillennials reporting on
that.
So that's good. At least they're looking
into it.
Um, here's my favorite story of the day.
So, you know that uh Trump has been
trying to get rid of um Jerome Powell,
the head of the Fed, but he would like
him to quit. He says he's not going to
fire him because that would royal the
markets. And he's uh he's repeated Trump
has that firing him is off the
possibility. The only way you'd be able
to fire him is if he were involved in
something so illegal or corrupt that the
the public would say, "Oh, okay." You
know, he he has the ability legally to
fire him for cause, but the cause would
have to be really obvious and the public
would have to see it. Now, if it's
really obvious and the public sees it,
well, then maybe the markets would
understand. It's like, oh, you can't let
this go. So, the question is, would
there be anything like that? Well, as
you know, Bill PTE has been u he's been
uh promoting the idea that there are
lots of questions to be answered with
the building or the uh what do you call
it the the upgrades to the Federal
Reserve headquarters, which apparently
are budgeted at $2.5 billion. And as
Bill PTE points out, um that is a lot of
money and you should be able to build an
entire building for that, you know, much
less just fix up the building that
already exists. So they have some real
questions there. And uh Py had said that
he would be willing to, you know, tour
the site because he has a background in
construction as well. You've heard of PE
Homes. Uh that was his grandfather's
business and he worked there so he knows
about construction.
Um Bill Py did visit. I don't think he
had a a reservation with him. I think he
just showed up at the site and saw there
were there were only like half a dozen
people working.
So does make you wonder where the 2.5
billion is going. But here is the best
part. Trump is going to uh join uh Bill
PE and James Blair and Russ Vot uh on
his team and today they're going to be
visiting the Federal Reserve building
site.
Now remember I told you that Bill Py has
a background in construction so he knows
what he's talking about.
What does Trump have?
Trump has, you know, he also has an
extreme background in construction,
specifically for these larger buildings,
which I think uh would be on point.
And this is just great.
Now, I don't know that this will have
any impact on Jerome Powell because the
the work wouldn't even be done while
he's still in office. His term ends in
May, so he's not going to spend even one
day in that building after it gets
rehabbed. But maybe, you know,
somebody's taking some bribes or some of
that money is being wasted. There might
be more to the story. We don't know. Uh
the the budget is so big that asking
questions makes sense. So, imagine Trump
um getting to
uh attack his enemy, I guess you could
call it that, Jerome Powell, by looking
at a construction project. And what do
you think Trump is going to say about
the construction project? Do you think
he's going to go there and say, "Oh,
everything looks good.
Looks like they made all the right
decisions. That budget makes sense to
me." No, he is going to absolutely
eviscerate the whoever is doing the
building of this thing and he's going to
raise all kinds of questions and boy
that's going to be a fun visit. So, uh,
so Bill Py, uh, congratulations for
pushing that topic forward because, um,
I've told you before that when you see
the government competing
to try to find out who can find more
fraud and get rid of it,
that is a really good sign of a healthy
change. If people were simply, you know,
approving more budget and spending it,
you're heading to doom. But the Trump
administration and Doge especially have
changed the thinking such that your
highest priority, and that's what this
looks like, highest priority is to look
for waste and and abuse. And so it all
makes sense. They're looking for waste
and abuse.
Um, I told you that uh Trump has
humorously monetized things he couldn't
solve. So, he monetized the Ukraine war
by saying, "We won't put any money into
it, but we will sell Europe as many
weapons as they want to buy." He
monetized it. He monetized
um the fentinel problem by by using it
as an excuse to raise tariffs on China
and also Canada and Mexico I believe. Uh
so he so he couldn't solve it but he
monetized it.
And now apparently Colombia University
is settling with the government for the
government's claims that they were being
too discriminatory against white people
and not doing enough for anti-semitism.
But do you think that's a solvable
problem? Do you think you can just fix
these colleges?
Maybe not. But he monetized it. So now
Colombia is settling and they've agreed
to pay $200 million to the federal
government over three years and uh
they're also going to settle for some
equal opportunity commission for 21
million
now. So this will in theory Colombia
will stop discriminating and maybe do
more to squash anti-semitism. So that
was what was asked of them. But they're
also going to pay $200 million plus $21
million.
And we don't believe that they will
completely get rid of all their DEI and
all their bad practices. They'll
probably just hide it a little bit. So
here again, you have a problem that I
don't think you could completely solve.
I mean, you could shrink it a little
bit. And that looks like what's
happening. But he's monetized it. He
monetized it again.
Um Harit Dylan
uh she's on the job of chasing an all
the DEI
um criminals. I say criminal because DEI
is illegal at the federal level anyway.
And she's going after companies and
entities
that are not following the law on DI DI.
So, she's the assistant attorney general
and I I'm watching her with great
interest because she appears to be very
capable and uh she's in the right job.
I saw a post by the rabbit hole um on X
who asks this question. Um he says uh
legacy media will publish endless
articles about men uh but rarely if ever
cover the radicalization of women. Now
the article about men I think he means
um that men are more Republican. They're
moving Republican in a big way. But who
is talking about the fact that women
have been radicalized?
It's a good point.
If if men had been radicalized the way
women have been radicalized, it would be
a huge topic and everybody would say,
"We have to unradicalize these men."
What happened to these men? They're
believing all this ridiculous stuff. But
when it's women who are the radicalized
ones on the left, I don't know that
there's a lot of talk about
reprogramming them and their mental
illness or their radicalization.
Now, is he right? I mean, this is
anecdotal. It's just observational, but
I do wonder about that. It does seems
like if we're going to talk about TDS
being an actual
mental problem, which it is, um we
should talk about the radicalization of
women,
especially the crazy ones because there
are so many of them.
Um, according to Gizmodo, Matt Novak is
writing that uh CNN says the FDA's new
drug approval uh involves AI. So AI is
helping the FDA decide what to approve.
So that sounds good, right? Probably a
big improvement in their speed and the
accuracy because they're using AI.
Well,
well, there's a problem. Apparently, the
AI is uh hallucinating in this realm as
well. So, it's actually making up
studies that never existed. Oh, yeah.
This uh this drug should be fine. Uh
here's a study that says it works great.
But if the human didn't know to check to
see if that study existed,
they would be approving something for
the wrong reason or disapproving it. So
that's scary. AI is literally making up
um scientific studies and inserting it
into the conversation. Oh my goodness.
So RFK Jr. signed a recommendation to
remove a um component called theosol
from the the regular flu vaccines, not
from the co stuff, but from regular
seasonal flu vaccines.
Now, there's a little bit of a backstory
to that.
Uh this thing called theosol,
um at one point RFK Jr. thought it was a
cause of autism because it used to be in
a lot of different shots, but apparently
it got removed from the childhood shots
a while ago back in 2001.
But it did not make any change in the
rate of autism.
So if this had been the cause of autism,
which is what RFK Jr. suspected way back
then. Um the removal of it would have by
now shown all kinds of improvements. The
the the number of people who had autism
diagnosis when they were young would
drop down back down to some historical
baseline which was a lot lower, but it
didn't.
Um, however, there's still some concern
about that component and it wasn't in
many things at this point, but it was in
the seasonal flu shots. To which I say,
how many of you get the seasonal flu
shot?
Long before the pandemic,
a lot of you said, um, this seasonal flu
shot is
right?
Uh, I I'm one of those people, you know,
once you learned that the the seasonal
flu wasn't even tuned to the seasonal
flu. It it was tuned to last year's flu,
which you're not going to get this year.
I mean, once I heard that, I thought,
are you kidding me? How's that even
possibly true that we're we're highly
recommended to get a flu shot that's
designed for a virus that doesn't exist?
How in the world is that possible? Now,
I never looked into it that hard, but
once I heard that, you know, that was
the last time I got one of those.
So maybe someday we'll learn what causes
autism or what caused the increase in
it, but it looks like it wasn't that
particular part of the shots.
Um,
according to Newsmax, there's a
Mccclaclin poll, 77%
of Americans oppose amnesty
for illegals. Now, the amnesty would not
just allow them to stay here, but
wouldn't it also allow them to be
citizens? So, 77% oppose that. 56%
uh say deport everyone who's an
undocumented
migrant. 56%.
So, that's where that's at.
So, I believe that although uh
there's going to be a lot of
complaining, it looks like the public is
sort of back in Trump, at least by a
majority.
Here's something else to worry about.
According to interesting engineering, uh
it's possible to use wifi as a sort of a
whole body fingerprint fingerprint to
track humans.
So in other words, it turns out that if
you were in your house where there was
Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi would be disturbed by
your body, you know, the way it's
disturbed by any object in the house.
But the way your specific body disturbs
Wi-Fi apparently is unique.
So, with about 95% accuracy, if if
they've picked up how you distort Wi-Fi
on one Wi-Fi system and then you went to
another Wi-Fi system, they would know it
was you if they had access to the Wi-Fi
in both places. Now, they don't,
but it wouldn't be hard to imagine that
they could get it. So, that's a new way
to track people.
tracking by their disturbance to the
Wi-Fi system. Scary, huh?
Well, apparently the Israeli uh is it
Ness or Knesset? I never know. I I read
it, but I never hear it pronounced. They
voted 71 to13 in favor of a non-binding
motion for the agenda in favor of
annexing the West Bank.
Um,
so
all right. So I don't think that has any
impact anything.
Um, I may have written that down wrong,
too. So forget about that story. I don't
have anything to say about it.
The only thing I'm going to say about
the uh the uh two-state solution in
Israel is that there's no way that's
going to happen. There's just no way
there's going to be a two-state
solution. Uh that's my that's my
prediction.
All right. The largest teacher union in
the United States, which is the NEA. All
right. So, it's the largest teachers
association uh union. It's a union
according to the Washington Free Beacon.
This is hard to believe, but I'll tell
you what the story is. um that that they
want the materials that um people are
using to learn history to include that
the Holocaust
had uh 12 million victims instead of 6
million.
6 million would be the number of Jewish
victims of the Holocaust. But the NEA
wants to expand what students think of
the Holocaust to 12 million because that
would include people from different
faiths
and that they would leave out from
history the idea that Germany and
Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish
people.
So they want to just leave that part out
and say, well, it wasn't the Jewish
people per se, but it was people of
different faiths and that there were 12
million of them. So it's not really a
story about, you know, what happened to
the Jews. It's more of a story about 12
million people of different faiths.
Now on top of that um
uh they want to include uh lessons that
say that would teach students that
Israel was founded through quote forced
violent displacement and dispossession.
So it would go hard at Israel for the
knockbar and kicking out the uh the
Palestinians who were in that location
where Israel was formed. And they would
try to redefine or reframe the Holocaust
as not being specifically a Jewish
problem
and not making it well. So,
I'm no historian,
but let me just talk about it
politically.
How in the world can the this teachers
union survive that?
Don't you feel that Israel and the ADL
and certainly all the Jewish teachers
who were part of that union, don't you
think they're going to go as hard as you
could possibly go at that union?
I've got a feeling if you were hoping
for the teachers unions to be somehow
neutered that we're a lot closer to that
than you thought. Because if you get the
entire Jewish community, both domestic
and internationally saying, "Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't take away
the Holocaust from us. You can't take
that away. It's it's too it's too uh you
know it's too built into our entire
narrative, our history, uh our
understanding of who we are, our
understanding of the risks of of being
in that situation and all that. So
I feel like the NEA, the biggest
teachers union, just declared war on
domestic and international Jews
by this. I mean, how do they survive
that? We'll see. But it is uh certainly
suggestive of a gigantic change where
the uh Jewish Americans and Israel in
particular um have just had a
reputational destruction in the past
year, past year or so. So things are
going to get frothy.
Um, Russia apparently is doing some
publicity on what they call the the
world's largest drone factory in Russia.
So, wonderful engineering is talking
about this and uh it's the Alabuga Alaba
factory in Tatterstan.
Um, and it's supposedly the biggest
drone making facility in the world. But
here's the part that interested me. Um,
apparently for that factory 25,000 North
Koreans, industrial workers were shipped
in to do the work. Do you think that the
only reason that they shipped in North
Koreans to do that work is because they
work cheaper? Do they work cheaper?
Maybe. Um,
is it possible that um
there just weren't enough Russians?
Is Russia running out of people to do
new stuff? I feel like the biggest story
is that they didn't have domestic
employees to run the most important
factory in their country. They didn't
have enough Russians. Are all the
Russians that can walk and do things,
have they already been shipped to the
war? Have they already been killed?
Uh why in the world do they need 25,000
North Koreans for their factory? Are you
telling me that the employment situation
in Russia is so good that people already
had better jobs than this one? I don't
know. I don't know. I have questions.
But I do think that that Russia may have
a population collapse
uh problem that has not been discussed
enough. I think they're running out of
young people. And if you run out of
young people, you're kind of in trouble.
So, we'll see. I also wonder, I didn't
look on the map to figure out where
Tatterstan is, but if it's within
missile range of Ukraine,
is it possible the Ukraine is going to
use American weapons to destroy the
biggest drone factory in Russia? And if
they didn't try,
why wouldn't they?
Can you think of any reason why the
Ukrainians would not use if our missiles
can reach it? Do you think that they
would buy new missiles and just take out
the drone factory?
Cuz I don't know how a drone factory
survives in a war. Isn't the drone
factory the very first thing you bomb? I
mean, I haven't run any wars, but that's
how I'd handle it. All right, that's all
I got for you today. Sorry I went late.
I'm going to say a few words privately
to the local subscribers. Beloved,
beloved local subscribers, thanks for
the rest of you for paying attention.
And I will see you tomorrow, same time,
same place in 30 seconds.
