Episode 2930 CWSA 08/17/25

Um, hey there you are.

Come on in everybody.

It is good to see you.

You don't have to be lonely this morning.

I'm here.

Yeah, this will be your hourlong conversation with your your best virtual friend.

Let me make sure your comments are showing.

Yes, they are.

Yay!

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 would like to take a chance on elevating your experience to level that no one can understand with their tiny shiny human brains.

All you need is a copper among glass of tanker shells or sty canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind.

Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparallel pleasure.

The dopamine of the day.

The thing that makes everything better.

It's called the simultaneous sip.

Damn it.

And it happens right now.

Go.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, that was good.

That was real good.

Well, I wonder if there are any scientific studies about coffee being good for you.

Oh, here's another one.

Fast Company is reporting that researchers at Tus University found out that uh drinking black coffee is really good for your health.

But if you add sugar and well mostly sugar probably, but sugar and milk, no benefits.

So coffee is either making you healthier or making you less healthy depending on what kind of crap you put in there.

You know, I love Starbucks as a place to hang out, and certainly their food and beverages are delicious, but doesn't it feel to you like it's a liquid candy store and that most of the people who go to Starbucks are there for the sugar?

Doesn't it seem like that?

I don't feel like they sell a lot of black coffee.

No, that's all I you know, the only kind of beverage I get there is black coffee for the health benefits.

Did you know according to the University of Texas at Austin, uh they found out that if you're a senior citizen and you're helping other people, your cognitive decline is slower.

In other words, the act of helping others and being useful and you know donating your time to somebody else's benefit uh makes your brain operate better.

Now I have a theory of evolution sort of evolution I guess that I've always had and I have no scientific backing for it whatsoever.

Um, so feel free to mock me for my terrible idea, but the idea is this, that your body um will respond to what your brain thinks it needs.

Let me say that again.

I believe that in your individual life, you know, not not just evolution over time, but in your your immediate life that your body will conform to what your brain believes you need most.

So, if I thought you were in a dangerous place where you needed muscles, I believe that you would grow muscles faster.

You'd still have to exercise obviously, but then you would grow muscles faster if you had in your mind some objective like being in a contest.

Even if you did the same amount of exercise, if somebody else was imagining, you know, nothing particular about their health, but the other one was imagining themselves in a in a contest and it really mattered to their life, that the fact that it really mattered would cause their body to just sort of chemically adapt and do it kind of quickly.

So this uh part about helping others slows your cognitive decline makes me wonder if that's the mechanism.

In other words, if you feel that you're being useful and helpful and you're keeping somebody else alive and happy, then I feel like your brain releases the, you know, the chemicals that your body needs to be healthier and keep your brain alive.

But if you weren't using your brain for anything useful to the tribe, I could see how it would your body and your brain would just say, "Well, we don't need to be too smart.

Might as well degrade a little bit." So, in my opinion, with no scientific backing whatsoever, I feel like if you have a solid idea of where you want to be and what you want to do, and it's compatible with life and evolution and humanity, that your body and your brain just sort of become that much more easily than if you didn't have that image.

That's that's what I think.

Well, Uber has uh launched their female only driver option.

You knew it was coming.

So, I don't know what happens if a man tries to select that.

Somebody will find out, I'm sure.

But, uh, as a man, I wonder if there are people who take Uber and think, "Ah, I hope I get a female driver so I can flirt with him or something." Probably.

Probably.

Um, but Uber had to do this because they will very soon be uh competing with a lot more driverless cars.

They're already driverless cars like Whimo, but once Tesla comes online, who would who would ever use an Uber if you could do a Tesla self-driving car for less money?

And it might even be more widely available.

I don't know.

I'll tell you what I'm really looking forward to is sending my car on errands.

I don't know if that's in the works, but what would be the point of of having Door Dash and all these uh food delivery if I had a Tesla that I could simply send to pick up my food?

And if you're the restaurant, you could tell it pulls into your your parking lot or whatever.

and uh you could just uh open up the trunk and have them put the food in and have it drive it drive it home.

I would definitely do that.

It'd be way cheaper than having it delivered.

So, when you think about um really radical ways that uh the whole food grocery food preparation thing could go, the most radical way would be if your car could go wherever the food is and pick it up for you and then drive it to your house.

That would be the most immediately transformational thing because I would send it for vegetables and fresh vegetables and stuff every day cuz what's this going to cost?

You know, $2 in electricity to send your car.

Um, apparently if you believe that talking to chat GPT or maybe the other AIS, um, if you thought that that was a private thing and chat GPT would not be saving your chats, well, turns out it's saving your chats and it has to, they don't have an option because apparently a federal judge just ordered uh, OpenAI to freeze every personal chat and to store it because there's some uh, copyright related lawsuit that requires maybe looking at their messages.

Oh my god.

Can can you imagine the private kind of things that people have asked chat GPT?

Like really private health related things and lifestyle related things.

Oh my god.

If somebody could open up all of your your requests to AI, I think a lot of us are in trouble.

It's a lot of stuff you don't want your neighbors looking at probably.

So, what I would recommend is that you immediately start doing fake uh a whole bunch of fake chats.

I mean, actually, you're chatting, but you're doing it just to kind of see the uh chat with stuff that's good for you.

So, for example, today you should go home and say, um, Chad GPT, I was wondering what would be the best charity that I could sign up for to donate my time and money to the well-being of other people who are less fortunate.

and just do one of those about every day until if somebody ever searches your uh stream, they'll say, "Well, this person has some weird hobbies, but you got to say this is a pretty good person right here." That's a pretty good person.

Anyway, uh or or here's the other uh the other option.

You've heard of uh super prompts where you you wisely ask your question of AI in in the way that gets you the best answer.

I would recommend appending to every question that you have for AI.

I'm asking for a friend.

Uh I'd like to know what to do about this terrible disease.

I'm asking for a friend.

What is the best way to launder money?

I'm asking for a friend.

If I wanted to murder my neighbor's dog and not get caught, my friend wants to know.

So, that's my recommendation.

Just add that to every question.

All right.

And don't kill your neighbor's dog.

That was just a humorous example.

Um a new study Jonathan Turley is writing about this found that uh almost 90% of students misrepresent their views in class I think these are college students on assignments to to satisfy faculty by adopting more liberal views.

Um let's see this is a there's a recent oped in Northwestern University some researchers um said that uh between 2023 and 2025 they conducted a bunch of confidential interviews and we asked they say they asked students again college students have you ever pretended to hold more progressive views than you truly endorse to succeed socially or academically An astounding 88% said yes.

Now, here's my first reaction to that.

We're going to be fine.

We're going to be fine.

It turns out that the young people are wise enough to lie on all these questions.

So 88% of them lie because they know that the question is sort of painting them into a trap and will ruin their life if they answer honestly.

So they they all know to lie.

We'll be fine.

Don't worry about the kids actually being woke.

They're not woke at all.

Yeah.

No, they're just lying.

As soon as they get in a place where they feel safe, all the wokeness will fall away.

But here's my reaction to this.

I was in college in 1975 to 1979.

Yes, I'm that old.

Um, this was exactly the same then.

How many people roughly my age who also were in college in the 70s recall that you also could not honestly answer a question?

Are you kidding me?

Do you think I could be honest?

in 1977 and say exactly what my real opinion was if a if a professor was going to read it.

Of course not.

Of course not.

There's never been a time when college students could be honest about their opinions.

That's never been a thing.

This didn't this didn't suddenly happen.

No, it's always been like that.

At least in my lifetime.

So maybe it's worse, but I don't know how it could be worse than I'm not going to tell you my opinion at all.

That's the way it was when I was in college.

Anyway, um I saw a Victor Davis Hansen video in which he was talking about what he calls the the collapse of the Democratic Party.

Um, now what's interesting is that he uses the word collapse.

When was the first time you heard somebody say the Democrat party is going to collapse using that specific word?

When was the first time you ever heard collapse?

I'll tell you.

It probably was several years ago when I told you that I was going to try to take out the tentpole hoax, the fine people hoax.

And I told you that that would lead to what?

Collapse.

It was literally a metaphor about a tent that if you took out the main pole, the main hoax, it would collapse.

And we're seeing the further collapse, I think, with the the Russia gate, Russia collusion hoax as people are learning all the badness that happened there.

But, um, I'm going to say that that was one of my best predictions ever.

And certainly in the category of not knowing if I predicted it or in some small way helped cause it.

I don't know.

But I know I told you in advance that I'm going to break this hoax and in so doing I'm going to make the entire Democratic party collapse.

I told you that multiple times as I did it in front of you in public.

So when I hear Victor Davis Hansen say that the Democratic Party is in collapse, I say to myself, "Oh, there you go.

I'll never know if I had anything to do with it.

I mean, there's no way to know for sure, but it looks like it.

It looks like I was at least part of that story.

Uh, some small part.

And, uh, Victor goes further.

He says, uh, they're melting down.

I don't even think there is a Democratic party now.

Um, and that's what it feels like.

It doesn't feel like there's a Democratic party.

It feels like there's a bunch of people who identify as Democrats and they don't know who's in charge and they're not they're not likely to line up against, you know, behind anybody that we know of.

But here's here's further evidence of the Democrats collapse.

Um Hillary Clinton decided to weigh in here with a little post on X and she said, "On one hand, Republican officials call themselves quote war fighters.

On the other, they become whiny cryb babies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal school children navigate every day without incident.

Real macho stuff.

Okay.

Number one thing that's wrong with it, it's uh sexist because she's teasing them for being macho.

She's not referring to female Republicans.

Once again, Hillary Clinton, that giant evil of a woman, has decided to go after men, this in this case, Republicans.

Um, and that's that's her biggest problem is that she's horrible person.

Um, but have you ever heard Republican officials call themselves war fighters?

Where did that come from?

She starts it with, on one hand, Republican officials call themselves war fighters.

I've never heard that.

Have you ever heard anybody call themselves a war fighter?

So, that's crazy.

Uh, and then on the other, they become a whiny crybab on these dangerous streets.

She's literally minimizing crime, street crime.

One of the things that people, even Democrats, care the most about.

It's the thing that they fear the most.

walking outside in some some areas of cities.

Everything about this post screams I'm a sick demented piece of crap and also one of the leaders of the Democrats and then and then uh cut away to Hakee Jeff.

Hakee Jeff unfortunately has what I call evil uh evil character face and there's nothing racial about this in case in case you want to jump to that.

This is nothing racial but his eyes his eyes look like he was created in a laboratory to be Dr.

Evil squared.

And every time he talks, I think to myself, really?

That's your leader.

You pick the only person who looks like he's planning to kill you.

I mean, he looks like your cat.

You ever see a cat when your cat is really unhappy and you can't you can't miss it because it's all over the cat's face.

Hakee Jeff seems like an angry cat.

He's got that face that just looks like, "I don't even like you.

I wouldn't even care if you died on the streets.

I wouldn't even care if you were on fire.

I wouldn't urinate on you.

Look at my eyes.

Do I look like I care?

So, yeah, they're they're in complete collapse.

Uh, according to uh Charles Gasperino, who is writing in the New York Post, uh Trump seems to be getting closer to maybe rescheduling marijuana at the federal level as a class three drug.

so that it wouldn't have the same penalties if you got caught.

And I think that would allow I'm not positive, but I think that would allow banks to feel more comfortable handling marijuana companies.

Um, so we'll see.

It does seem like that would be another 8020, right?

Would the isn't the polling something like in the neighborhood of 80% are in favor of at least decriminalizing it?

Is that true?

I think it's in that neighborhood.

So that doesn't mean that Trump will do it or it doesn't mean it's even a good idea, but uh I think it's popular.

Well, according to Newsmax, the US military, as you know, is pushing for drone dominance.

So, um, Silicon Valley apparently is, you know, really ramping up hard on drones.

And I saw one one insider say that Silicon Valley used to be very anti- uh, defense, meaning that they didn't want to didn't want their talents to be used to make weapons for the military.

But apparently that's changed.

I don't know if it's because the weapons are cooler, you know, because they're drones and robots and AI and stuff, or if something about Trump has changed.

I know a lot more people are uh signing up to be in the military.

So, there does seem to be some kind of major improvement in let's say reputation of the US military.

So, I don't know if this is signaling that, but apparently now Silicon Valley is all in on making sure that we have drone dominance.

Now, what does that mean when the biggest country and richest country decides it's going to be dominant in a technology and it's practical?

I mean, somebody someone's going to be dominant and uh why not us?

Well, probably we'll get there.

Um, and it looks like uh Trump is being credited with cutting a whole bunch of red tape because if you wanted to build anything that flies and does anything dangerous, you're going to need a lot of federal, you know, red tape um and stuff.

So, apparently some of that's being cleared away to give us a chance of being um dominant.

Now, let's uh connect some dots.

Okay.

separately.

There are stories about uh Ukrainian troops being so depleted at this point that they might be like a 100,000 people short of even being able to man the uh the trenches that they have on the front lines.

But they're compensating.

the story is today with uh ground robots that um shoot shoot uh machine guns and tons and tons of drones.

So, uh Trump has decided that we will sell technology to Ukraine, but we won't give it to him.

We've also decided that we want to be dominant in drones and we're going to need to test our um test our technology to make sure that we really are dominant in an actual wartime situation.

So, where do you think everything's heading?

I'm going to make a suggestion.

Um because Trump is going to be looking for leverage over Russia.

He could threaten sanctions, but apparently that's off the table at the moment.

We'll talk about that a little bit more.

But what can Trump really threaten that would look like a realistic threat?

And I have a suggestion and also a prediction prediction.

Uh I think if the war continues for year after year, which is possible, I think there's a good chance it will last another 5 years.

I feel like in three years and maybe a lot sooner, the entire front line will be robots and um and drones, you know, which are robots of kind.

So imagine Trump saying to Putin, all right, here's the deal.

Under normal circumstances, if you were to just straight line what's happening now into the future, Russia would definitely take over all of Ukraine.

It would take a while, but they would get there, right?

Most of you believe that because you're just running out of Ukrainians.

There's just not enough human beings to defend the country after a while.

And so, since uh Russia has more population, plus they're getting the North Koreans to help them, they can just outlast the humans.

But what happens if Trump said, "Here's the deal, Putin.

We are trying to become, you know, the biggest military robot and drone force in the world and we need to test it and we have a really good customer.

So, as long as the Europeans are willing to open their wallets, we're going to sell them unlimited numbers of drones and robots, the new stuff.

And eventually, the entire front line is going to be robots.

Once it is, you're going to have to ask yourself, can you, Russia, keep up with our technology?

Because right now, it's a human versus human contest.

And the Russians have more humans, so they have a huge advantage.

It once the Ukrainians run out of humans, and that's happening quickly, if nothing changed, the Russian humans would just move forward and conquer what's left.

But Trump can change the frame from uh Putin.

You know that you know that in three years this is not going to be a human onhuman war.

You know that, right?

And he does know that.

Everybody knows that.

So you say to him, here's the deal.

If you keep fighting, we'll keep uh we'll keep supplying the very best American technology to drones and robots, and you're going to be having an all robot war, and you will not be able to keep up with our technology.

You have really good technology, but you're not going to keep up with our technology.

So, the war is going to go from humans on humans, where Russia has an enormous advantage to high-tech versus high-tech only, in which Russia has a disadvantage.

And you know what?

The United States gets practice.

Not only do we make money selling our goods, but we get practice.

And we get practical information back about what worked and what didn't.

I don't think that Putin would want to enter an era in which it wasn't humans against humans and it's robots against his humans or robots against his worst robots because I don't think China is going to give them the good stuff.

Do you?

Or if they did maybe not enough of it.

So that would be the thing I would add is like look Putin you better settle up now or you're going to be talking to the robots.

And you know that's true.

There was a uh poll politico talking about a Citroen Center of Possibility Lab poll on whether Californians would go along with Gavin Newsome's idea to redistrict in a special election.

Now, normally the way they would redistrict is California has an independent commission to uh do that.

I'm sure it's not super independent.

I think independent is sort of uh maybe not exactly 100% accurate, but maybe better than whatever they're doing now or trying to do.

So, surprisingly, the questions or two questions.

One, do you support keeping the independent redistricting commission?

And number two, do you support returning congressional redistricting authority to state legislators?

and only 36% of voters supported giving the legislature back that power.

So you might presume that that means that if if Nen does his special election to to get the power to do it early instead of using the uh redistricting commission um that the voters would reject it.

But um Nuome tries to lie and tell you that uh they're not planning to get rid of the Independent Redistricting Commission.

Um but what he doesn't say is what they are planning is to ignore it.

They're not planning to get rid of it.

Oh no, we're not going to get rid of it.

That's crazy talk.

No, we're just going to do the redistricting without it.

So Nome is actually trying to sell the idea that we're keeping the Congressional Redistricting uh Commission at the same time that he's pushing to ignore them.

He's trying to sell that.

Good luck.

So I'm hoping Californians can see through it and maybe turn down that redistricting thing, but um I don't know if that poll is telling us what we need to know about that.

According to the New York Post, 75 homeless camps in Washington DC have been cleared.

What does that mean?

Where are those people?

Is there some secret alternate Washington DC uh where they move all the homeless people?

Now, that would be kind of funny, wouldn't it?

Imagine if we hired Hollywood to build a set of an inner city, but the buildings are all fake.

They're just fronts.

And then the homeless people think, "Aha, we got another city to be homeless." And they put up their tents on the sidewalk, but it's just a it's like a Hollywood set.

And they they could be homeless all they want.

But if they try to go inside a building, the doors are all locked.

So because there's nothing in there, just fake buildings.

So let's do that.

All right.

Anyway, I'm very curious where those 75 homeless camps went and where did those people go?

But apparently South Carolina, Ohio, and maybe one other state is sending their own national guards to assist DC.

And there's talk about doing it in New York City, too.

But, uh, Hillary Clinton would like to remind you that you're just a giant wuss if you're afraid of street crime.

you giant wussy.

Um, so I saw a post on X uh from Dr.

Interracial.

Now, it's important for you to know that Dr.

Interracial is literally in an interracial interracial marriage.

He he is the black member of the interracial marriage.

and he pointed out that the videos of the Washington DC protest were all white people.

And he says, "Notice, no black people are protesting against safe communities.

None.

There like thousands of people are protesting.

Not a single black person in the crowd.

Not one." Now, is that because there are a couple of possibilities?

One possibility is that uh black people don't want to protest against ending crime.

Now, that's the one I want to believe.

Um the other possibility is that all of these protests are inorganic and they're literally organizations you can pay to hire people to protest for whatever you want them to protest for.

Crowds for hire, is that what it's called?

What if, and I'm just throwing this out there, what if the crowds for hire, the people who create the fake demonstrations, what if they don't have a DI department?

What if the entire problem is that they're not doing any recruiting to get diversity in their crowds?

So, all they get is a bunch of bored, retired white people.

I don't know what is causing the fact that there wasn't a single black person in this very large crowd of protesters in a city that has a quite substantial black population, but it means something.

It definitely means something.

I'm not entirely sure what it means, but it means something.

Um, meanwhile there were anti-Israel demonstrations in Manhattan and I guess they were calling for a global in uh inifada which is a slogan that you might recognize that a lot of people see as incitement of violence against Jewish communities.

So that's happening.

Do you imagine that that was an organic protest?

No, there aren't any.

There are no organ protests.

It's almost certainly paid protesters and maybe people from other countries are behind it.

Who knows?

But something's behind it.

I would ignore it unless they break stuff.

I would just ignore them.

Um well, maybe that's not strong enough because you don't want people merch around saying global inif.

Um but they do have on the other hand this freedom of speech.

Is is global inif yet um officially hate speech or is it on its way to becoming official hate speech?

Because that could change things.

Well, Congressman Eric Swallwell was asked to comment on Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska.

And if you can believe this douchebag, he he's one of what I call the designated liars, the people who really push the big lies, like the really embarrassingly obviously false really big lies.

And so he goes with, "I do not know if President Trump is or is not a Russian asset." you.

What a piece of crap that guy is.

What a piece of crap that in 2025 he's still pushing the Russia gay hoax like like it was all real or something.

Oh my god.

MSNBC actually puts him on the air for that.

Well, I was wondering if you've started to notice a pattern, which is the the stickiest criticisms against Trump are the things you can't prove or haven't happened yet.

May may never happen, but they haven't happened yet.

So, people criticize Trump because inflation will happen, but it hasn't.

I mean, a little bit, but not enough to change things.

Um, they're worried about him becoming a thirdterm president, but it hasn't happened.

It's probably just a joke.

Well, it is just a joke.

They're worried about him becoming a dictator.

Well, I don't really see that happening because if the court rules against him, he still does what the court says.

Um, and even even the stuff with Ukraine is more about what will happen next than what has happened so far.

So, it feels like they really have to rechard and and they also do the mind readading thing where they'll say, "All right, well, maybe nothing's gone wrong, but in his mind, he plans to do terrible things in the future.

In his mind, he's only doing it for the wrong reasons." So, it's the weirdest set of criticisms because if they look at what he's actually done that has something like a conclusion, that stuff looks pretty good, right?

Because the uh the NATO funding is done and that looks pretty good.

The closing of the border largely completed.

I mean, it's a permanent job they have to keep on it.

But we don't have to wonder what it looks like.

He already did it.

So, there's probably a whole bunch of things that he's already done like getting, you know, great investments to come into the US, you know, onshoring stuff.

Um, and then what is it, six or seven wars he's he's helped end.

You know, you could argue whether that's really four or seven, but he's definitely helping helping wars end.

So, all the things that have happened look pretty good.

We're only worried about the things we can imagine happening in the future, but are not that likely, actually.

All right.

Um, apparently the uh Trump administration is going to start cracking down on all cash buyers.

Uh, I think specifically companies doing it, purchasing American homes.

As you know, there are a number of entities, some foreign and some domestic, uh, paying cash for homes that severely limits the, uh, the availability of homes for other people to buy and that raises the price, we assume.

So, Trump is going to look into that.

And I feel like that's another 8020 issue cuz well there might be big, you know, big hedge funds and stuff who want to keep buying houses for cash cuz it's one way to um it's one way to basically hide your uh money in a inflation resistant asset because houses will go up in value if inflation goes up.

So, it might be just a way for people to hide their their money until they know what's happening with inflation.

But if you were to um query the the public, I would guess at least 80% of the public, maybe 90% would say, "Yeah, you should clamp down on all these non residents buying houses." So, that's probably a good topic for the president.

Um, apparently the biggest teachers union, Randy Weartens Union, is suing the Trump administration to try to keep DEI in public schools.

Corey D'Angelus is uh reporting on this.

He's your school choice evangelist.

You all know Corey.

You should follow him on social media.

Um, and it just seems to me that topic after topic shows that the teachers unions are trying to destroy the country because if they have their way, the the schools will keep getting worse because there won't be choice and they will pack it with DEI which will cause division and all kinds of problems.

Um, and honestly, on one hand, you could say, well, the the goal of the union is to help the union members.

It's not to help their students.

It's not to help the parents.

So, you could understand why, you know, in our competitive world, they could have a union and they could fight for things that are good for them, but there's no really there's not really a balance to that.

there's nobody who's the one on the other side who's actually, you know, in the battle.

So, it's sort of a one-sided thing.

And what it makes it look like is that the real goal of the teachers unions is to destroy the United States.

You saw it during the pandemic.

Uh you're seeing it with DEI.

Um you're seeing with their opposition to school choice.

These are the most fundamental things.

The quality of education is the most fundamental thing that would keep the country healthy and they're attacking it in every domain.

It seems like so I this is not an accusation but it almost feels like Randy Weine must be working for one of our adversaries.

like that.

Does she get a paycheck from somebody we don't know about?

Because the way she acts is like she's not in favor of the United States.

I mean, it just looks like picking every destructive thing you could pick and then backing it.

Um, I think trans is another one of those topics.

Anyway, in the potentially good news category, Wired is talking about uh I guess Doge didn't die.

It just morphed into more of a permanent part of the government, which is good news.

But I guess uh one of the Doge um smart guys uh more than one, but one person's in charge of it.

They're developing some AI related tool that they want to eliminate up to 50% of federal regulations uh within the next year or so.

And they claim there are 200,000 federal regulations.

Now, how in the world would you use AI to eliminate regulations?

Would it just do the work of looking through them and then how would it know that a regulation was a bad idea?

That's the part that AI doesn't know, right?

Because if AI is trained on what is written, probably every federal regulation has some backing to it.

You know, if they looked online, they'd say, "Oh, yeah.

This is why it's created some safety." But how would it know that it created more problems than it solved?

How would AI ever know that?

So, I guess I'm a little skeptical that AI could, you know, make a difference in that domain because you would have to know a lot more than AI could possibly know to make a smart decision.

But, you know, maybe it's sort of like AI helping a programmer that you just uh you just use it to ask questions that would be hard to research, but then a human makes the decision.

That's a lot of decisions.

If you're trying to get rid of a 100,000 federal regulations, how would you ever learn enough to know that you made the right choices?

I don't know.

Anyway, so I'm optimistic and I don't think that the Doge geniuses would be working on it if it didn't have promise, but we'll see.

And there's a projection that the effort of getting rid of all this uh deregulation could yield $3.3 trillion annually in economic benefits.

3.3 trillion.

That would uh go a long way to uh paying down the national debt, wouldn't it?

It wouldn't be the full 3.3 trillion every year, but that would generate a lot of new taxes.

Uh there's a report that uh on Tik Tok, somebody named Kane Callaway that China now has a a product called an a well it's an AI headband that they're putting on Chinese students to make sure they're paying attention.

So the headband will actually report if somebody is daydreaming or not paying attention.

Now that's the scariest thing you've ever heard of.

Can you even imagine having a job or being in some kind of class where your brain's current thinking is being reported?

Your current thinking and it's going to get worse because at the moment maybe the adband can only tell if your eyes are looking in a certain place.

U but what happens when it can tell what you're thinking which which is current technology.

I told you about it yesterday.

There's a current technology that can sort of read your internal dialogue.

So, we're probably just a few iterations away from China having a headband for their students that will tell you if their mind is drifting off the topic.

Oh my god, can you imagine what that would be like if you were one of those students?

It's unimaginable.

Speaking of China, Beijing is going to host uh the first humanoid robot games according to Ariana News.

So apparently the robot games will have sports.

So they'll have speed skating and um racing and some other things that humans do cuz they're humanoid robots.

But they'll also have them doing uh uh oh, I guess they're doing sprinting, soccer, and kickboxing.

I would love to see humanoid robots uh do a battle to the death.

I would kind of like that.

That'd be fun to watch.

Uh but they'll also be doing real world scenarios such as medication sorting and cleaning and industrial material handling.

But what I really want to see is humanoid robots carrying a box from one shelf to another.

You know, the one thing that they seem to be able to do.

Yeah, I can get up if you knock me down and I can carry a box from one shelf to another.

Look at me go.

All right, let's talk about Ukraine.

I guess on Monday uh Putin's going to meet with Zilinski and Trump might be part of that but uh several European leaders have already invited themselves so it will be a big useless meeting with too many leaders.

Um but that's coming.

It does it does suggest that everybody's really serious about getting some kind of a peace deal in Ukraine.

So, I would say that uh President Trump's efforts so far are more positive than not, meaning everybody's focused on this thing and imagining what it would look like.

And you you have to get the minds lined up first before anything else is going to happen.

And it looks like the minds are lined up.

They're not lined up with how it will be ultimately resolved.

But here are some hints.

I would say these are not confirmed.

But these are uh reportedly what Trump would consider workable.

Now, these are solutions that Ukraine definitely doesn't want.

So, let's be clear.

It might be good for the United States if Ukraine it might be good for Europe if Ukraine settles, but it's not going to be good for Ukraine.

At least not in the sense that they're going to keep all the land they would like to keep.

Doesn't look like that's going to happen, but reportedly uh Trump is supportive of uh Russia taking over the other half of the Donbass that they have not already conquered.

So the deal would look like Russia could keep everything that they've already conquered and Donbass is half conquered.

Uh but Ukraine would give them the half they haven't yet conquered.

Now, it's hard for me to imagine that Ukraine would go from a position of we you cannot have one inch of our territory from, you know, before this certain year.

Yeah.

They would walk Crimea back and all of Donbass back and all of the other regions that are conquered.

How do you go from that to we you know what not only will we keep everything we've already conquered but we want you just give us the other half of the Donbass.

Is that really going to be agreed on by Zalinski?

I mean really is there any possible way he's going to agree to that?

Even if um the other part of it is that Trump is going to float security guarantees for Ukraine, we don't know what that looks like yet.

So, we'd be speculating on the details, but the idea would be that we would commit to Russia that Ukraine would not be part of NATO, but instead all the NATO countries would defend it if it were attacked.

But not NATO.

No, no, no.

So, you're saying that if Russia attacked, the NATO countries would come to Ukraine's defense?

Yes.

But Ukraine won't be in NATO.

Oh, no.

That's crazy talk.

No, they're not going to be in NATO.

They're just going to get all the benefits of being protected by NATO.

So, I would suggest that the name for this uh new treaty would be the not NATO.

not NATO.

All one word, not NATO.

Um, then we'll just act like NATO except that Ukraine won't have to give any money to NATO.

So, that's suboptimal.

Um, Wall Street Journal says it sees two ways that the Ukraine war will end.

One is that Ukraine will be smaller and they'll give away all that conquered and semiconquered territory.

So they'll be a shrunken but surviving nation state.

Um alternately they could lose everything, their sovereignty and all the land.

Uh do you think that is the only way it could go?

Um yeah, I don't know.

Uh I do think that uh Trump is going to have some threats that are going to look really good.

So, one of the threats could be, like I said, an all robot war, uh, which Russia might not be able to win.

They could almost certainly win an all, uh, they could almost certainly win an all, uh, human war if they wanted to keep grinding on.

Um, so that would be one threat.

The other threat is these uh third-party sanctions where they sanctioned India and China I guess for buying uh energy from Russia.

I don't know if you could really pull that off.

I I just don't know that we could go that hard at China or India and if we didn't well then nothing would change.

So, I don't know what kind of threats Trump has, but he usually does is well, I don't have to prove I could do these things.

I just have to make you think I might be able to do these things.

So, he's got a few of those levers.

The I might be able to do it.

Well, CNN's body language expert Chris Olrich said that Trump dominated Putin during the summit.

that the body language contest, you know, went to Trump completely.

But the anti-Trumpers are having a field day.

And if you have a chance, listen to MSNBC's pundits um or probably some of CNN's as well talking about um who won the summit.

And if you do it with like just listening to the sound, it sounds like zombies who are starving for brains.

Oh.

Oh, human brains.

Oh, finally.

Finally, we've got something to talk about with a little bit of meat.

We're so sad of losing all the time.

But now we can say that, "Oh, Trump, Trump is a puppet of Putin." We love saying that.

Our favorite thing is to say that Putin is getting over on Trump and that Trump is his Oh god, this is good.

Oh, these are good brains.

Oh, This is the best brains I've ever eaten as a zombie.

It doesn't.

They don't even sound like real people.

They sound like they're having some, you know, massive mental problem that makes them feel better.

If they imagine that Trump is losing to Putin and they're telling you about it and you're hearing about it and you believe it, it's it must be what makes them feel good.

So there it's this weird Putin zombie brain eating kind of thing.

Um, according to leading report on X, Zalinski counters Putin's offer and says it is impossible for him to give up any land to Russia.

Why are we getting to this point and acting surprised that Zalinski is going to say, "I'm I'm not giving you anything." Oh, on NATO.

That's pretty good.

UnATO is better than not NATO.

Nicely done.

UnATO.

That's what we'll call it.

Well, as I warned you and uh Euro Maiden Press is reporting that uh Ukraine is rolling out more uh machine gun robots and those machine gun robots they say are making great uh strides against the Russian human beings.

So yeah, we're getting closer to the all robot war.

It's coming, people.

It's coming.

All robots all the time.

All right, that's all I got today.

It's a happy Sunday and you're all going to have no NATO.

I'll call it no NATO.

No time ged NATO like NATO light.

No.

All right.

Yeah, Gary the cat did not visit today.

I don't know.

Probably still hanging out in the man cave.

But uh that's all I got for today.

I'm going to talk privately a little bit to my beloved uh subscribers on locals.

The rest of you, I hope you enjoyed it.

We'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

And uh thanks for coming everybody.

Local supporters, I'll be there.

Um, hey there you are. Come on in

everybody.

It is good to see you.

You don't have to be lonely this

morning. I'm here. Yeah, this will be

your hourlong conversation with your

your best virtual friend.

Let me make sure your

comments are showing. Yes, they are.

Yay!

[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 would like to take a chance

on elevating your experience to level

that no one can understand with their

tiny shiny human brains. All you need is

a copper among glass of tanker shells or

sty canteen jug or flask a vessel of any

kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee. And join me now for the

unparallel pleasure. The dopamine of the

day. The thing that makes everything

better. It's called the simultaneous

sip. Damn it. And it happens right now.

Go.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that was good. That was

real good.

Well, I wonder if there are any

scientific studies about coffee being

good for you. Oh, here's another one.

Fast Company is reporting that

researchers at Tus University found out

that uh drinking black coffee is really

good for your health. But if you add

sugar and well mostly sugar probably,

but sugar and milk, no benefits.

So coffee is either making you healthier

or making you less healthy depending on

what kind of crap you put in there.

You know, I love Starbucks as a place to

hang out, and certainly their food and

beverages are delicious, but doesn't it

feel to you like it's a liquid candy

store and that most of the people who go

to Starbucks are there for the sugar?

Doesn't it seem like that? I don't feel

like they sell a lot of black coffee.

No, that's all I you know, the only kind

of beverage I get there is black coffee

for the health benefits.

Did you know according to the University

of Texas at Austin, uh they found out

that if you're a senior citizen and

you're helping other people, your

cognitive decline is slower. In other

words, the act of helping others and

being useful and you know donating your

time to somebody else's benefit uh makes

your brain operate better.

Now I have a theory of evolution

sort of evolution I guess that I've

always had and I have no scientific

backing for it whatsoever.

Um, so feel free to mock me for my

terrible idea, but the idea is this,

that your body

um will respond to what your brain

thinks it needs.

Let me say that again. I believe that in

your individual life, you know, not not

just evolution over time, but in your

your immediate life that your body will

conform to what your brain believes you

need most. So, if I thought you were in

a dangerous place where you needed

muscles, I believe that you would grow

muscles faster. You'd still have to

exercise obviously, but then you would

grow muscles faster if you had in your

mind some objective like being in a

contest.

Even if you did the same amount of

exercise, if somebody else was

imagining, you know, nothing particular

about their health, but the other one

was imagining themselves in a in a

contest and it really mattered to their

life, that the fact that it really

mattered would cause their body to just

sort of chemically adapt and do it kind

of quickly. So this uh part about

helping others slows your cognitive

decline makes me wonder if that's the

mechanism.

In other words, if you feel that you're

being useful and helpful and you're

keeping somebody else alive and happy,

then I feel like your brain releases

the, you know, the chemicals that your

body needs to be healthier and keep your

brain alive. But if you weren't using

your brain for anything useful to the

tribe, I could see how it would your

body and your brain would just say,

"Well, we don't need to be too smart.

Might as well degrade a little bit."

So, in my opinion, with no scientific

backing whatsoever, I feel like if you

have a solid idea of where you want to

be and what you want to do, and it's

compatible with life and evolution and

humanity, that your body and your brain

just sort of become that much more

easily than if you didn't have that

image. That's that's what I think.

Well, Uber has uh launched their female

only driver option. You knew it was

coming. So, I don't know what happens if

a man tries to select that.

Somebody will find out, I'm sure. But,

uh,

as a man,

I wonder if there are people who take

Uber and think, "Ah, I hope I get a

female driver so I can flirt with him or

something." Probably. Probably.

Um, but Uber had to do this because they

will very soon be uh competing with a

lot more driverless cars. They're

already driverless cars like Whimo, but

once Tesla comes online,

who would who would ever use an Uber if

you could do a Tesla self-driving car

for less money? And it might even be

more widely available. I don't know.

I'll tell you what I'm really looking

forward to is sending my car on errands.

I don't know if that's in the works, but

what would be the point of of having

Door Dash and all these uh food delivery

if I had a Tesla that I could simply

send to pick up my food? And if you're

the restaurant, you could tell it pulls

into your your parking lot or whatever.

and uh you could just uh open up the

trunk and have them put the food in and

have it drive it drive it home. I would

definitely do that. It'd be way cheaper

than having it delivered. So, when you

think about um really radical ways that

uh the whole food grocery food

preparation thing could go, the most

radical way would be if your car could

go wherever the food is and pick it up

for you and then drive it to your house.

That would be the most immediately

transformational thing because I would

send it for vegetables and fresh

vegetables and stuff every day cuz

what's this going to cost? You know, $2

in electricity to send your car.

Um, apparently if you believe that

talking to chat GPT or maybe the other

AIS, um, if you thought that that was a

private thing and chat GPT would not be

saving your chats, well, turns out it's

saving your chats and it has to, they

don't have an option because apparently

a federal judge just ordered uh, OpenAI

to freeze every personal chat and to

store it because there's some uh,

copyright related lawsuit that requires

maybe looking at their messages.

Oh my god.

Can can you imagine the private kind of

things that people have asked chat GPT?

Like really private health related

things and lifestyle related things. Oh

my god. If somebody could open up all of

your your requests to AI,

I think a lot of us are in trouble. It's

a lot of stuff you don't want your

neighbors looking at probably.

So, what I would recommend is that you

immediately start doing fake uh a whole

bunch of fake chats. I mean, actually,

you're chatting, but you're doing it

just to kind of see the uh chat with

stuff that's good for you. So, for

example, today you should go home and

say, um, Chad GPT, I was wondering what

would be the best charity that I could

sign up for to donate my time and money

to the well-being of other people who

are less fortunate. and just do one of

those about every day until if somebody

ever searches your uh stream, they'll

say, "Well, this person has some weird

hobbies, but you got to say this is a

pretty good person right here." That's a

pretty good person.

Anyway,

uh or or here's the other uh the other

option. You've heard of uh super prompts

where you you wisely ask your question

of AI in in the way that gets you the

best answer. I would recommend appending

to every question that you have for AI.

I'm asking for a friend.

Uh I'd like to know what to do about

this terrible disease. I'm asking for a

friend. What is the best way to launder

money? I'm asking for a friend. If I

wanted to murder my neighbor's dog and

not get caught, my friend wants to know.

So, that's my recommendation. Just add

that to every question.

All right.

And don't kill your neighbor's dog. That

was just a humorous example.

Um a new study Jonathan Turley is

writing about this found that uh almost

90% of students misrepresent their views

in class I think these are college

students on assignments to to satisfy

faculty by adopting more liberal views.

Um let's see this is a

there's a recent oped in Northwestern

University some researchers

um said that uh

between 2023 and 2025 they conducted a

bunch of confidential interviews and we

asked they say they asked students again

college students have you ever pretended

to hold more progressive views than you

truly endorse to succeed socially or

academically An astounding 88% said yes.

Now, here's my first reaction to that.

We're going to be fine.

We're going to be fine. It turns out

that the young people are wise enough to

lie on all these questions. So

88% of them lie because they know that

the question is sort of painting them

into a trap and will ruin their life if

they answer honestly. So they they all

know to lie.

We'll be fine. Don't worry about the

kids actually being woke. They're not

woke at all. Yeah. No, they're just

lying. As soon as they get in a place

where they feel safe, all the wokeness

will fall away.

But here's my reaction to this.

I was in college in 1975

to 1979. Yes, I'm that old.

Um,

this was exactly the same then.

How many people roughly my age who also

were in college in the 70s

recall that you also could not honestly

answer a question? Are you kidding me?

Do you think I could be honest? in 1977

and say exactly what my real opinion was

if a if a professor was going to read

it. Of course not.

Of course not. There's never been a time

when college students could be honest

about their opinions. That's never been

a thing. This didn't this didn't

suddenly happen.

No, it's always been like that. At least

in my lifetime.

So maybe it's worse, but I don't know

how it could be worse than I'm not going

to tell you my opinion at all. That's

the way it was when I was in college.

Anyway, um

I saw a Victor Davis Hansen video in

which he was talking about what he calls

the the collapse of the Democratic

Party. Um, now what's interesting is

that he uses the word collapse.

When was the first time you heard

somebody say the Democrat party is going

to collapse

using that specific word? When was the

first time you ever heard collapse?

I'll tell you. It probably was several

years ago when I told you that I was

going to try to take out the tentpole

hoax, the fine people hoax. And I told

you that that would lead to what?

Collapse. It was literally a metaphor

about a tent that if you took out the

main pole, the main hoax, it would

collapse.

And we're seeing the further collapse, I

think, with the the Russia gate, Russia

collusion hoax as people are learning

all the badness that happened there.

But, um, I'm going to say that that was

one of my best predictions ever. And

certainly in the category of not knowing

if I predicted it or in some small way

helped cause it. I don't know. But I

know I told you in advance that I'm

going to break this hoax and in so doing

I'm going to make the entire Democratic

party collapse. I told you that multiple

times as I did it in front of you in

public. So when I hear Victor Davis

Hansen say that the Democratic Party is

in collapse, I say to myself,

"Oh, there you go.

I'll never know if I had anything to do

with it. I mean, there's no way to know

for sure, but it looks like it. It looks

like I was at least part of that story.

Uh, some small part.

And, uh, Victor goes further. He says,

uh, they're melting down. I don't even

think there is a Democratic party now.

Um, and that's what it feels like. It

doesn't feel like there's a Democratic

party. It feels like there's a bunch of

people who identify as Democrats and

they don't know who's in charge and

they're not they're not likely to line

up against, you know, behind anybody

that we know of. But here's here's

further evidence of the Democrats

collapse. Um Hillary Clinton decided to

weigh in here with a little post on X

and she said, "On one hand, Republican

officials call themselves quote war

fighters. On the other, they become

whiny cryb babies at the thought of

setting foot in DC streets and New York

City subways that literal school

children navigate every day without

incident. Real macho stuff. Okay.

Number one thing that's wrong with it,

it's uh sexist

because she's teasing them for being

macho. She's not referring to female

Republicans.

Once again, Hillary Clinton, that giant

evil of a woman, has decided to go

after men, this in this case,

Republicans. Um, and that's that's her

biggest problem is that she's horrible

person. Um, but have you ever heard

Republican officials call themselves war

fighters?

Where did that come from? She starts it

with, on one hand, Republican officials

call themselves war fighters. I've never

heard that. Have you ever heard anybody

call themselves a war fighter?

So, that's crazy. Uh, and then on the

other, they become a whiny crybab

on these dangerous streets.

She's literally

minimizing crime, street crime. One of

the things that people, even Democrats,

care the most about. It's the thing that

they fear the most. walking outside in

some some areas of cities.

Everything about this post screams I'm a

sick demented piece of crap

and also one of the leaders of the

Democrats

and then and then uh cut away to Hakee

Jeff.

Hakee Jeff unfortunately has what I call

evil uh evil character face and there's

nothing racial about this in case in

case you want to jump to that. This is

nothing racial but his eyes

his eyes look like he was created in a

laboratory to be Dr. Evil

squared.

And every time he talks, I think to

myself, really? That's your leader. You

pick the only person who looks like he's

planning to kill you. I mean, he looks

like your cat. You ever see a cat when

your cat is really unhappy and you can't

you can't miss it because it's all over

the cat's face. Hakee Jeff seems like an

angry cat. He's got that face that just

looks like, "I don't even like you. I

wouldn't even care if you died on the

streets. I wouldn't even care if you

were on fire. I wouldn't urinate on you.

Look at my eyes. Do I look like I care?

So, yeah, they're they're in complete

collapse. Uh, according to uh Charles

Gasperino, who is writing in the New

York Post, uh Trump seems to be getting

closer to maybe rescheduling marijuana

at the federal level as a class three

drug. so that it wouldn't have the same

penalties if you got caught. And I think

that would allow I'm not positive, but I

think that would allow banks to feel

more comfortable handling marijuana

companies.

Um, so we'll see.

It does seem like that would be another

8020, right? Would the isn't the polling

something like in the neighborhood of

80% are in favor of at least

decriminalizing it?

Is that true? I think it's in that

neighborhood. So that doesn't mean that

Trump will do it or it doesn't mean it's

even a good idea, but uh I think it's

popular.

Well, according to Newsmax, the US

military, as you know, is pushing for

drone dominance.

So, um, Silicon Valley apparently is,

you know, really ramping up hard on

drones. And I saw one one insider say

that Silicon Valley used to be very

anti-

uh, defense,

meaning that they didn't want to didn't

want their talents to be used to make

weapons for the military. But apparently

that's changed. I don't know if it's

because the weapons are cooler, you

know, because they're drones and robots

and AI and stuff, or if something about

Trump has changed. I know a lot more

people are uh signing up to be in the

military. So, there does seem to be some

kind of major improvement in let's say

reputation of the US military. So, I

don't know if this is signaling that,

but apparently now Silicon Valley is all

in on making sure that we have drone

dominance. Now, what does that mean when

the biggest country and richest country

decides it's going to be dominant in a

technology and it's practical? I mean,

somebody someone's going to be dominant

and uh why not us?

Well, probably we'll get there. Um, and

it looks like uh Trump is being credited

with cutting a whole bunch of red tape

because if you wanted to build anything

that flies and does anything dangerous,

you're going to need a lot of federal,

you know, red tape um and stuff. So,

apparently some of that's being cleared

away to give us a chance of being um

dominant. Now, let's uh connect some

dots. Okay. separately. There are

stories about uh Ukrainian troops being

so depleted at this point that they

might be like a 100,000 people short of

even being able to man the uh the

trenches that they have on the front

lines. But they're compensating. the

story is today with uh ground robots

that um shoot shoot uh machine guns and

tons and tons of drones.

So, uh Trump has decided that we will

sell technology to Ukraine, but we won't

give it to him. We've also decided that

we want to be dominant in drones

and we're going to need to test our um

test our technology to make sure that we

really are dominant in an actual wartime

situation.

So, where do you think everything's

heading? I'm going to make a suggestion.

Um because Trump is going to be looking

for leverage over Russia. He could

threaten sanctions, but apparently

that's off the table at the moment.

We'll talk about that a little bit more.

But what can Trump really threaten that

would look like a realistic threat?

And I have a suggestion and also a

prediction prediction.

Uh I think if the war continues for year

after year, which is possible, I think

there's a good chance it will last

another 5 years. I feel like in three

years and maybe a lot sooner, the entire

front line will be robots

and um and drones, you know, which are

robots of kind. So imagine Trump saying

to Putin, all right, here's the deal.

Under normal circumstances, if you were

to just straight line what's happening

now into the future, Russia would

definitely take over all of Ukraine. It

would take a while, but they would get

there, right? Most of you believe that

because you're just running out of

Ukrainians. There's just not enough

human beings to defend the country after

a while. And so, since uh Russia has

more population, plus they're getting

the North Koreans to help them, they can

just outlast the humans. But what

happens if Trump said, "Here's the deal,

Putin.

We are trying to become, you know, the

biggest military robot and drone force

in the world and we need to test it and

we have a really good customer. So, as

long as the Europeans are willing to

open their wallets, we're going to sell

them unlimited numbers of drones and

robots, the new stuff. And eventually,

the entire front line is going to be

robots. Once it is, you're going to have

to ask yourself, can you, Russia, keep

up with our technology?

Because right now, it's a human versus

human contest. And the Russians have

more humans, so they have a huge

advantage. It once the Ukrainians run

out of humans, and that's happening

quickly, if nothing changed, the Russian

humans would just move forward and

conquer what's left.

But Trump can change the frame from uh

Putin. You know that you know that in

three years this is not going to be a

human onhuman war. You know that, right?

And he does know that. Everybody knows

that. So you say to him, here's the

deal. If you keep fighting, we'll keep

uh we'll keep supplying the very best

American technology to drones and

robots, and you're going to be having an

all robot war, and you will not be able

to keep up with our technology. You have

really good technology, but you're not

going to keep up with our technology.

So, the war is going to go from humans

on humans, where Russia has an enormous

advantage to high-tech versus high-tech

only, in which Russia has a

disadvantage. And you know what? The

United States gets practice.

Not only do we make money selling our

goods, but we get practice. And we get

practical information back about what

worked and what didn't. I don't think

that Putin

would want to enter an era in which it

wasn't humans against humans and it's

robots against his humans or robots

against his worst robots because I don't

think China is going to give them the

good stuff. Do you? Or if they did maybe

not enough of it. So that would be the

thing I would add is like look Putin you

better settle up now or you're going to

be talking to the robots. And you know

that's true.

There was a uh poll politico talking

about a Citroen Center of Possibility

Lab poll on whether Californians would

go along with Gavin Newsome's idea to

redistrict in a special election. Now,

normally the way they would redistrict

is California has an independent

commission

to uh do that.

I'm sure it's not super independent.

I think independent is sort of

uh maybe not exactly 100% accurate, but

maybe better than whatever they're doing

now or trying to do. So, surprisingly,

the questions or two questions. One, do

you support keeping the independent

redistricting commission? And number

two, do you support returning

congressional redistricting authority to

state legislators? and only 36% of

voters supported giving the legislature

back that power.

So

you might presume

that that means that if if Nen does his

special election to to get the power to

do it early instead of using the uh

redistricting commission

um that the voters would reject it. But

um Nuome tries to lie and tell you that

uh they're not planning to get rid of

the Independent Redistricting

Commission. Um but what he doesn't say

is what they are planning is to ignore

it. They're not planning to get rid of

it. Oh no, we're not going to get rid of

it. That's crazy talk. No, we're just

going to do the redistricting without

it.

So Nome is actually trying to sell the

idea that we're keeping the

Congressional Redistricting

uh Commission at the same time that he's

pushing to ignore them. He's trying to

sell that. Good luck. So I'm hoping

Californians can see through it and

maybe turn down that redistricting

thing, but

um I don't know if that poll is telling

us what we need to know about that.

According

to the New York Post, 75 homeless camps

in Washington DC have been cleared. What

does that mean? Where are those people?

Is there some secret alternate

Washington DC uh where they move all the

homeless people? Now, that would be kind

of funny, wouldn't it? Imagine if we

hired Hollywood to build a set of an

inner city, but the buildings are all

fake. They're just fronts. And then the

homeless people think, "Aha, we got

another city to be homeless." And they

put up their tents on the sidewalk, but

it's just a it's like a Hollywood set.

And they they could be homeless all they

want. But if they try to go inside a

building, the doors are all locked. So

because there's nothing in there, just

fake buildings. So let's do that. All

right. Anyway, I'm very curious where

those 75 homeless camps went and where

did those people go?

But apparently South Carolina, Ohio, and

maybe one other state is sending their

own national guards to assist DC. And

there's talk about doing it in New York

City, too. But, uh, Hillary Clinton

would like to remind you that you're

just a giant wuss if you're afraid of

street crime. you giant wussy.

Um,

so I saw a post on X uh from Dr.

Interracial.

Now, it's important for you to know that

Dr. Interracial is literally in an

interracial

interracial marriage. He he is the black

member of the interracial marriage. and

he pointed out that the videos of the

Washington DC protest were all white

people.

And he says, "Notice, no black people

are protesting against safe communities.

None. There like thousands of people are

protesting. Not a single black person in

the crowd. Not one." Now, is that

because there are a couple of

possibilities?

One possibility is that uh black people

don't want to protest against ending

crime.

Now, that's the one I want to believe.

Um the other possibility is that all of

these protests are inorganic and they're

literally organizations you can pay to

hire people to protest for whatever you

want them to protest for. Crowds for

hire, is that what it's called? What if,

and I'm just throwing this out there,

what if the crowds for hire, the people

who create the fake demonstrations, what

if they don't have a DI department?

What if the entire problem is that

they're not doing any recruiting to get

diversity in their crowds? So, all they

get is a bunch of bored, retired white

people.

I don't know what is causing the fact

that there wasn't a single black person

in this very large crowd of protesters

in a city that has a quite substantial

black population,

but it means something. It definitely

means something. I'm not entirely sure

what it means, but it means something.

Um, meanwhile there were anti-Israel

demonstrations in Manhattan

and I guess they were calling for a

global in uh inifada which is a slogan

that you might recognize that a lot of

people see as incitement of violence

against Jewish communities.

So that's happening. Do you imagine that

that was an organic protest? No, there

aren't any. There are no organ protests.

It's almost certainly paid protesters

and maybe people from other countries

are behind it. Who knows? But

something's behind it. I would ignore it

unless they break stuff. I would just

ignore them. Um well, maybe that's not

strong enough because you don't want

people merch around saying global inif.

Um but they do have on the other hand

this freedom of speech. Is is global

inif yet

um officially hate speech or is it on

its way to becoming official hate

speech? Because that could change

things.

Well, Congressman Eric Swallwell was

asked to comment on Trump's meeting with

Putin in Alaska. And if you can believe

this douchebag, he he's one of what I

call the designated liars, the people

who really push the big lies, like the

really embarrassingly

obviously false really big lies. And so

he goes with, "I do not know if

President Trump is or is not a Russian

asset."

you.

What a piece of crap that guy is. What a

piece of crap that in 2025

he's still pushing

the Russia gay hoax

like like it was all real or something.

Oh my god. MSNBC actually puts him on

the air for that.

Well, I was wondering if you've started

to notice a pattern, which is the the

stickiest criticisms against Trump are

the things you can't prove or haven't

happened yet. May may never happen, but

they haven't happened yet. So, people

criticize Trump because inflation will

happen, but it hasn't. I mean, a little

bit, but not enough to change things.

Um, they're worried about him becoming a

thirdterm president, but it hasn't

happened. It's probably just a joke.

Well, it is just a joke. They're worried

about him becoming a dictator.

Well, I don't really see that happening

because if the court rules against him,

he still does what the court says. Um,

and even even the stuff with Ukraine is

more about what will happen next than

what has happened so far.

So, it feels like they really have to

rechard and and they also do the mind

readading thing where they'll say, "All

right, well, maybe nothing's gone wrong,

but in his mind, he plans to do terrible

things in the future. In his mind, he's

only doing it for the wrong reasons."

So, it's the weirdest set of criticisms

because if they look at what he's

actually done that has something like a

conclusion,

that stuff looks pretty good,

right? Because the uh the NATO funding

is done and that looks pretty good. The

closing of the border largely completed.

I mean, it's a permanent job they have

to keep on it. But we don't have to

wonder what it looks like. He already

did it. So, there's probably a whole

bunch of things that he's already done

like getting, you know, great

investments to come into the US, you

know, onshoring stuff. Um, and then what

is it, six or seven wars he's he's

helped end. You know, you could argue

whether that's really four or seven, but

he's definitely helping helping wars

end. So, all the things that have

happened look pretty good. We're only

worried about the things we can imagine

happening in the future, but are not

that likely, actually.

All right.

[Music]

Um, apparently

the uh Trump administration is going to

start cracking down on all cash buyers.

Uh, I think specifically companies doing

it, purchasing American homes. As you

know, there are a number of entities,

some foreign and some domestic, uh,

paying cash for homes that severely

limits the, uh, the availability of

homes for other people to buy and that

raises the price, we assume. So, Trump

is going to look into that. And I feel

like that's another 8020 issue

cuz well there might be big, you know,

big hedge funds and stuff who want to

keep buying houses for cash cuz it's one

way to um

it's one way to basically hide your uh

money in a inflation resistant asset

because houses will go up in value if

inflation goes up. So, it might be just

a way for people to hide their their

money until they know what's happening

with inflation.

But if you were to um query the the

public, I would guess at least 80% of

the public, maybe 90% would say, "Yeah,

you should clamp down on all these non

residents buying houses."

So, that's probably a good topic for the

president.

Um,

apparently the biggest teachers union,

Randy Weartens Union, is suing the Trump

administration to try to keep DEI in

public schools. Corey D'Angelus is uh

reporting on this. He's your school

choice evangelist. You all know Corey.

You should follow him on social media.

Um,

and it just seems to me that topic after

topic shows that the teachers unions are

trying to destroy the country because if

they have their way, the the schools

will keep getting worse because there

won't be choice and they will pack it

with DEI which will cause division and

all kinds of problems.

Um, and honestly, on one hand, you could

say, well, the the goal of the union is

to help the union members. It's not to

help their students. It's not to help

the parents.

So, you could understand why, you know,

in our competitive world, they could

have a union and they could fight for

things that are good for them, but

there's no really there's not really a

balance to that. there's nobody who's

the one on the other side who's

actually, you know, in the battle. So,

it's sort of a one-sided thing. And what

it makes it look like is that the real

goal of the teachers unions is to

destroy the United States.

You saw it during the pandemic. Uh

you're seeing it with DEI.

Um you're seeing with their opposition

to school choice. These are the most

fundamental things. The quality of

education is the most fundamental thing

that would keep the country healthy and

they're attacking it in every domain. It

seems like so

I this is not an accusation

but it almost feels like Randy Weine

must be working for one of our

adversaries.

like that. Does she get a paycheck from

somebody we don't know about?

Because the way she acts is like she's

not in favor of the United States. I

mean, it just looks like picking every

destructive thing you could pick and

then backing it. Um, I think trans is

another one of those topics.

Anyway, in the potentially good news

category, Wired is talking about uh I

guess Doge

didn't die. It just morphed into more of

a permanent part of the government,

which is good news. But I guess uh one

of the Doge um smart guys

uh more than one, but one person's in

charge of it. They're developing some AI

related tool

that they want to eliminate up to 50% of

federal regulations

uh within the next year or so. And they

claim there are 200,000 federal

regulations.

Now, how in the world would you use AI

to eliminate regulations? Would it just

do the work of looking through them and

then how would it know that a regulation

was a bad idea?

That's the part that AI doesn't know,

right? Because if AI is trained on what

is written, probably every federal

regulation has some backing to it. You

know, if they looked online, they'd say,

"Oh, yeah. This is why it's created some

safety." But how would it know that it

created more problems than it solved?

How would AI ever know that?

So, I guess I'm a little skeptical that

AI could, you know, make a difference in

that domain because you would have to

know a lot more than AI could possibly

know to make a smart decision. But, you

know, maybe it's sort of like AI helping

a programmer that you just uh you just

use it to ask questions that would be

hard to research, but then a human makes

the decision. That's a lot of decisions.

If you're trying to get rid of a 100,000

federal regulations, how would you ever

learn enough to know that you made the

right choices? I don't know. Anyway, so

I'm optimistic and I don't think that

the Doge geniuses would be working on it

if it didn't have promise, but we'll

see.

And there's a projection that the effort

of getting rid of all this uh

deregulation could yield $3.3 trillion

annually in economic benefits. 3.3

trillion. That would uh go a long way to

uh paying down the national debt,

wouldn't it? It wouldn't be the full 3.3

trillion every year, but that would

generate a lot of new taxes.

Uh there's a report that uh on Tik Tok,

somebody named Kane Callaway that China

now has a a product called an a well

it's an AI headband that they're putting

on Chinese students to make sure they're

paying attention. So the headband will

actually report if somebody is

daydreaming or not paying attention. Now

that's the scariest thing you've ever

heard of. Can you even imagine having a

job or being in some kind of class where

your brain's current thinking is being

reported? Your current thinking and it's

going to get worse because at the moment

maybe the adband can only tell if your

eyes are looking in a certain place. U

but what happens when it can tell what

you're thinking

which which is current technology. I

told you about it yesterday. There's a

current technology that can sort of read

your internal dialogue.

So, we're probably just a few iterations

away from China having a headband for

their students that will tell you if

their mind is drifting off the topic.

Oh my god, can you imagine what that

would be like if you were one of those

students? It's unimaginable.

Speaking of China, Beijing is going to

host

uh the first humanoid robot games

according to Ariana News. So apparently

the robot games will have sports. So

they'll have speed skating and um racing

and some other things that humans do cuz

they're humanoid robots. But they'll

also have them doing uh uh oh, I guess

they're doing sprinting, soccer, and

kickboxing.

I would love to see humanoid robots

uh do a battle to the death. I would

kind of like that. That'd be fun to

watch. Uh but they'll also be doing real

world scenarios such as medication

sorting and cleaning and industrial

material handling. But what I really

want to see is humanoid robots carrying

a box from one shelf to another.

You know, the one thing that they seem

to be able to do. Yeah, I can get up if

you knock me down and I can carry a box

from one shelf to another. Look at me

go.

All right,

let's talk about Ukraine. I guess on

Monday

uh Putin's going to meet with Zilinski

and Trump might be part of that but uh

several European leaders have already

invited themselves so it will be a big

useless meeting with too many leaders.

Um but that's coming. It does it does

suggest that everybody's really serious

about getting some kind of a peace deal

in Ukraine. So, I would say that uh

President Trump's efforts so far are

more positive than not, meaning

everybody's focused on this thing and

imagining what it would look like. And

you you have to get the minds lined up

first before anything else is going to

happen. And it looks like the minds are

lined up.

They're not lined up with how it will be

ultimately resolved. But here are some

hints. I would say these are not

confirmed. But these are uh reportedly

what Trump would consider

workable. Now, these are solutions that

Ukraine definitely doesn't want. So,

let's be clear. It might be good for the

United States if Ukraine it might be

good for Europe if Ukraine

settles, but it's not going to be good

for Ukraine.

At least not in the sense that they're

going to keep all the land they would

like to keep. Doesn't look like that's

going to happen, but reportedly

uh Trump is supportive of uh Russia

taking over the other half of the

Donbass that they have not already

conquered.

So the deal would look like Russia could

keep everything that they've already

conquered

and Donbass is half conquered. Uh but

Ukraine would give them the half they

haven't yet conquered.

Now, it's hard for me to imagine that

Ukraine would go from a position of we

you cannot have one inch of our

territory from, you know, before this

certain year. Yeah. They would walk

Crimea back and all of Donbass back and

all of the other regions that are

conquered. How do you go from that to we

you know what not only will we keep

everything we've already conquered but

we want you just give us the other half

of the Donbass.

Is that really going to be agreed on by

Zalinski? I mean really is there any

possible way he's going to agree to

that?

Even if um the other part of it is that

Trump is going to float security

guarantees for Ukraine, we don't know

what that looks like yet. So, we'd be

speculating on the details, but the idea

would be that we would commit to Russia

that Ukraine would not be part of NATO,

but instead all the NATO countries would

defend it if it were attacked.

But not NATO. No, no, no.

So, you're saying that if Russia

attacked, the NATO countries would come

to Ukraine's defense? Yes. But Ukraine

won't be in NATO. Oh, no. That's crazy

talk. No, they're not going to be in

NATO. They're just going to get all the

benefits of being protected by NATO.

So, I would suggest that the name for

this uh new treaty would be the not

NATO.

not NATO. All one word, not NATO.

Um, then we'll just act like NATO except

that Ukraine won't have to give any

money to NATO.

So, that's suboptimal.

Um, Wall Street Journal says it sees two

ways that the Ukraine war will end. One

is that Ukraine will be smaller and

they'll give away all that conquered and

semiconquered territory. So they'll be a

shrunken but surviving nation state. Um

alternately they could lose everything,

their sovereignty and all the land. Uh

do you think that is the only way it

could go?

Um

yeah, I don't know. Uh I do think that

uh Trump is going to have some threats

that are going to look really good. So,

one of the threats could be, like I

said, an all robot war,

uh, which Russia might not be able to

win. They could almost certainly win an

all,

uh, they could almost certainly win an

all, uh, human war

if they wanted to keep grinding on. Um,

so that would be one threat. The other

threat is these uh third-party sanctions

where they sanctioned India and China I

guess for buying uh energy from Russia.

I don't know if you could really pull

that off. I I just don't know that we

could go that hard at China or India and

if we didn't well then nothing would

change. So, I don't know what kind of

threats Trump has, but he usually does

is well, I don't have to prove I could

do these things. I just have to make you

think I might be able to do these

things. So, he's got a few of those

levers. The I might be able to do it.

Well, CNN's body language expert Chris

Olrich said that Trump dominated Putin

during the summit. that the body

language contest, you know, went to

Trump completely. But the anti-Trumpers

are having a field day. And if you have

a chance, listen to MSNBC's pundits um

or probably some of CNN's as well

talking about um who won the summit. And

if you do it with like just listening to

the sound, it sounds like zombies who

are starving for brains. Oh. Oh, human

brains. Oh, finally. Finally, we've got

something to talk about with a little

bit of meat. We're so sad of losing all

the time. But now we can say that, "Oh,

Trump, Trump is a puppet of Putin." We

love saying that. Our favorite thing is

to say that Putin is getting over on

Trump and that Trump is his Oh

god, this is good. Oh, these are good

brains. Oh, This is the best

brains I've ever eaten as a zombie.

It doesn't. They don't even sound like

real people. They sound like they're

having some, you know, massive mental

problem that makes them feel better. If

they imagine that Trump is losing to

Putin and they're telling you about it

and you're hearing about it and you

believe it, it's it must be what makes

them feel good. So there it's this weird

Putin zombie brain eating kind of thing.

Um,

according to leading report on X,

Zalinski counters Putin's offer and says

it is impossible for him to give up any

land to Russia.

Why are we getting to this point and

acting surprised

that Zalinski is going to say, "I'm I'm

not giving you anything." Oh, on NATO.

That's pretty good. UnATO is better than

not NATO. Nicely done. UnATO. That's

what we'll call it.

Well, as I warned you and uh Euro Maiden

Press is reporting that uh Ukraine is

rolling out more uh machine gun robots

and those machine gun robots they say

are making great uh strides against the

Russian human beings. So yeah, we're

getting closer to the all robot war.

It's coming, people. It's coming. All

robots all the time.

All right, that's all I got today. It's

a happy Sunday and you're all going to

have

no NATO. I'll call it no NATO.

No time

ged

NATO like

NATO light. No.

All right. Yeah, Gary the cat did not

visit today.

I don't know. Probably still hanging out

in the man cave. But uh that's all I got

for today. I'm going to talk privately a

little bit to my beloved uh subscribers

on locals. The rest of you, I hope you

enjoyed it. We'll see you tomorrow, same

time, same place. And uh thanks for

coming everybody. Local supporters, I'll

be there.
