Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. You 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 our tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup, mug, or a glass, or a thermos, a canteen, a jug or a 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.
All right, people. Well, apparently Tommy Robinson has a gazillion people protesting in central London, I think it is. And it turns out a lot of those people are carrying American flags and chanting about Charlie Kirk in London. Do you believe that the Brits maybe got a little bit more energy for protesting because of Charlie Kirk's tragic situation? I'll bet yes. I'll bet yes. And you might see a global effect to the assassination. This might be the first indication that we cannot calculate how big this is.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself because it's not that big yet, but the potential size of this is hard to estimate. But if you look at the crowds, look at the crowd pictures. That's a lot of people, and they all have flags, some of them American.
Well, after this show, as is our tradition for Saturday, Owen Gregorian will be hosting a spaces event. That's the audio-only event on X. So go to X after the show and just search for Owen Gregorian and you'll find the link.
I wonder if there's any science that didn't have to happen because they could have just asked me. Oh, here's some. According to The Conversation, that's a publication, cats give you oxytocin. So that's a brain chemistry that makes you feel good, makes you feel loved. So it's true. We don't get it just from being close to other humans. We also get oxytocin from animals. And I think they had already tested dogs and that gave you oxytocin, but cats do too.
I will tell you that that was the primary reason I got my two cats. I got them for oxytocin. Like literally, I said to myself, I'm at a certain age and a certain health situation where the odds of me even touching other people are going way down. I'm lucky if I can get a handshake once a week. It's just natural when you're not in a place where you could get into a relationship and you're not in one. There's really a shortage of oxytocin and I think that can make you crazy. I believe that if you have no oxytocin, that might be some of the problem with these shooters as well. If they don't have access to touch, they don't get calmed down and they don't find any sense of peace just being in their own body and in their own life, and they're looking for something big to give them a dopamine or some kind of thrill. So get yourself a cat and your oxytocin. Well, I don't know about dopamine, but oxytocin will be way better.
Hey, I wonder if I can find a cat. All right, I think I'll do the rest of the show with a cat on my cheek. Oxytocin. I'm getting all your oxytocin. Stealing it. I'm taking it. Yeah, give it up, Gary. All right. I'll need another hit later, so come on back later.
They didn't really need to study that. They could have just asked me, "Scott, do you think your cat will give you oxytocin?" And I would have said, "Hell yeah, you don't have to study that."
Scientists claim they reversed aging in monkeys. They found a way to reverse aging. And I'm going to tell you exactly how. But it was a certain kind of monkey called a macaque. So I was interested in making macaque younger. So if you want to talk about macaque, this would be the place to do it. They're monkeys. Damn it. You're disgusting. Oh man, you can make anything sound dirty. They're monkeys, people. They're monkeys. Clean up your mind.
You're probably wondering, how in the world do they reverse aging? But I'm going to explain it to you. Now, pay attention. I have a gift for summarizing and simplifying. So I'm going to take this complicated thing and try to give it to you in the simplest terms. And if you don't understand this, well, I'm pretty sure the problem's on your end because I'm going to explain this so clearly.
Mechanistically, the SRC-derived exosomes reduce the cellular senescence markers, and I'm talking about the p21, p16, and the gamma-H2AX, obviously inflammation from your IL-6, your TNF-alpha, your IL-1 beta, and your oxidative stress. All right, you following me? While enhancing heterochromatin stability and immune function. So this suppresses the SASP inflammatory pathways and promotes systemic rejuvenation. Everybody got that? See, it was kind of easy. You just have to relax and listen and it all makes sense.
You already know that Apple introduced a new feature in their earbuds, their little earpieces, that will translate. But I didn't realize how good it is. Apparently it's live translation without a delay. I mean, there's got to be some delay, but it's almost no delay. But also it's so good that both people can be talking over each other and it will still translate the other person. That is impressive because in the real world people talk over each other and there's lots of other noise. Still works.
So imagine if you will this becomes more of a normal thing. Can you imagine traveling to places that you would have never traveled before but being able to understand everybody? The problem is if you meet some villager in a remote place they're not going to have the translator. So you would understand them, but they would have no idea what you're saying. Maybe you could use another app for that.
But as I've said before, I have a hypothesis that the reason that the US, Russia, and China are sort of these friend-enemy rivals, you know, maybe more rivals than friendly, I feel like it might be because of language. I'm not positive. I wouldn't bet my life on it. But doesn't it seem to you that whenever we're dealing with a country that speaks perfect English, even if it's not normally an English-speaking country, that whenever the leader is gifted in English, we get along with them? Is that true? I mean, it feels like that's mostly true, right?
So I just have this feeling that if the leaders can talk in the same language comfortably that everything works out differently. It just feels like that's true. You wouldn't imagine that because you think it's no, no it's not the way they talk. Scott, you know they have translators. It's really these big issues. You know the issues are the reason that we don't get along. To which I say I challenge that assumption. I don't think that's how brains are organized. I think people when they can talk to people comfortably they just say well I'm not going to nuke my friend Don. I don't want to nuke my friend. But if the only contact you have is through an interpreter, I feel like that's like a little wall that allows you to say all right I'm over here. My enemy is over there on the other side of that invisible wall. Language is pretty important. This might change everything.
Ars Technica is reporting, Benj Edwards, that there was an education report that was being put together by the Canadian government. So they authorized it. It took them 18 months to put together a report on the ethical uses of AI. It's important that the report was about the ethical uses of AI. And now the humorous irony. Apparently the report included a number of fake sources because the AI lied to them and they believed it and they wrote down all the fake sources. And it took them 18 months to create a report with fake sources that AI probably wrote. They probably had AI write a report about the dangers of AI if you use it unethically, I guess. All right, good job, guys.
I saw a post by an X user, Justine Moore, who I believe is a high-end investor, and she said, "The best X accounts are run by people who are at some level unemployable. You have to be posting takes that disqualify you from a decent chunk of jobs in your industry in order to have a good X account." Well, I would agree with that. If I could just speak personally, I'm really sure that if I had a regular day job with a regular boss that I wouldn't say 75% of the things I say online. There's no way I would say the things honestly that I say now. And still, even though I didn't have a boss per se, I got cancelled worldwide for one of my opinions or at least the way I stated it. It wasn't even because of the opinion. Nobody disagreed with my opinion, but I got cancelled anyway.
President Trump has indicated that he's looking into going after George Soros, figuring out how his money is flowing through and possibly getting to violent protests and other bad distortions in our country. And he thinks that there might be a RICO case because Soros would be part of a larger organized group of people doing things that potentially could be illegal. I don't know exactly what would be in that category of illegal, but Trump does. And he does include the younger Soros. So he's not just saying George, he's saying Alexander as well. And my question is, and I'm sure Mike Cernovich would be asking the same question, why only one billionaire? It seems obvious to me that there are about something like half a dozen billionaires who are running the show because money drives everything. Why would you only look into one of them? It feels like whatever they're doing, they're all doing it. It seems like they're playing the same game. So I would say you want to maybe expand that a little bit. Find out where the money's coming from. Because it all looks dirty and unethical to me.
We'll talk about the Charlie Kirk situation, of course. So apparently Republicans, some Republicans, dozens of them, are trying to get congressional leaders to investigate what they call a sustained breakdown of law and order by anti-American ideology across the country. Just News is reporting on this. So Chip Roy is organizing this, I think. And so they've signed an open letter calling for the House leaders to form some committee to look into it because of the numerous attacks. But they also say, this is related to the story about RICO and Soros, but they also say they want to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NGOs, donors, media, public officials, and all entities driving what they call a coordinated attack.
Now the real question will be the degree of coordination because who is the George Carlin? George Carlin used to explain that you don't need to have a meeting with notes and everybody says out loud, "Oh I agree with you." If everybody knows what to do. So the Democrat world is one of these, everybody knows what to do. You don't have to have a meeting. Do you think the hosts of MSNBC have to be instructed to call Trump a fascist? No. They just look at what other people do and they say, "All right, that's what we're doing. I guess we're just maybe we'll be worse than the others or better, but basically we're all doing what the others are doing." So you only need to sort of create the narrative and then everybody else just snaps to grid and automatically conforms. You don't really need to coordinate.
I feel another source of oxytocin coming. Hey, look who it is. It's Roman the cat coming to join his brother.
All right, we will move on. So the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk, his name is Tyler Robinson. He's 22. But when he was in high school, he had a 4.0 average and he even had a scholarship to college, but I guess he didn't last long in college. So he's living at home. And probably you're wondering, how could somebody with a 4.0 average be so stupid and so hypnotized to do what he did. And I can tell you one thing that's really useful to go through life with. Intelligence does not protect you from influence. It just doesn't. You're sure that it should, right? You're positive that it should. Yeah. He dropped out of college. You're sure that the smarter you are, the more invulnerable you'll be to influence, but just look around. There are people who are literally geniuses who are on completely opposite sides of things. How is that possible? If intelligence got you to the right answer more often, wouldn't all the intelligent people be on the same side? But they're not.
Even if you looked at the geniuses that were part of the PayPal original team, you know, the Elon Musk, the David Sacks, Reid Hoffman, you've got Reid Hoffman on the far left and funding things, and you've got Elon and Sacks on the right. They're all geniuses, but they're not immune from being influenced by something in the environment. There's just no protection whatsoever. That's my official word as a trained hypnotist because hypnotists learn that the smarter you are, the easier it is to hypnotize you. Let me say that again. Hypnotists learn in school. We're actually taught that the smarter and more confident the subject is, the easier it is to hypnotize them. I don't know why. I wouldn't even speculate, but it's a known phenomenon. It's well enough known that it's actually taught in school.
As far as we know, but I think it's still a little fog of war, the perpetrator, the shooter, was a far-left kind of guy. You might be seeing online some rumors that I think are unsubstantiated that he was actually further right than Charlie Kirk. I believe that's all unsubstantiated stuff, but there's enough to it that I would say you better wait and find out more about this guy because it's not impossible. Just almost anything that you're sure you know about this story might be wrong. We're at that point in the story where really there could be really basic fundamental things that we find out are just not true. So as far as we can tell, he was a far-left guy, but maybe not. We'll see.
One of his friends from high school says he's definitely far left. And to me, that's pretty convincing. I feel like if his good high school friend said, "Oh yeah, he's way left," that's probably dependable. That seems like a reasonably strong statement. It's unlikely that he went from high school far left to a few years later far right. That doesn't seem likely.
So as you know, we're in sort of a contest to blame whatever you think is the other side. So of course conservatives are blaming the left for all the dangerous talk that looks like it may have encouraged people to get violent. And of course the left is arguing that Trump's rhetoric is the root cause. Unbelievable. Yeah. You know we always joke about the Democrats projecting. Like if they murder you, they will accuse you of murder as they're stabbing you, right? How many times have we seen that example? As they're stabbing you. "Stop murdering me. Stop it. You're murdering me. Stop it." And you know, I'm just in a different movie, so all I see is them murdering us. But they're apparently, I don't know if they believe their own movie. What do you think? Do you think the hosts of MSNBC believe that Trump is really the root cause here and that they're not? And that they believe they're not? Do you believe they believe that?
It's possible because of cognitive dissonance. So cognitive dissonance won't allow you to form an opinion of yourself that's too negative if you have a healthy ego, if you're not mentally ill. So if you're perfectly normal, your brain is working the way it should, it will malfunction when you're presented with a situation where you have obviously done something stupid or evil and you don't think you're stupid and you don't think you're evil. That's what triggers cognitive dissonance. When there's a disconnect between what you're doing or experiencing and what you believe to be true. And then your brain spontaneously comes up with a story that usually sounds ridiculous to observers.
So here's the test. Are the MSNBC hosts experiencing the situation in which there's strong indication that they are the bad guys? Have they created a situation where it's becoming somewhat obvious that they're the bad guys and that they might be stupid and they might be evil? Would you agree that that's sort of becoming obvious now? What would smart people with normal brains, you don't need any mental illness, just a normal brain, what would they do in that situation? Well, they would hallucinate that the real problem is something else so that they're off the hook. And so they snapped to grid on Trump. It's like why do you have a bunion on your toe? Trump. Trump. Why does it look like it's going to rain today? Trump. So you've got this little Trump reflex that they've developed because everything's Trump's fault.
But the tell, the way you can tell it's cognitive dissonance as opposed to just a different opinion, is that the people who are not experiencing the cognitive dissonance look at it and they say, "Are you drunk? I mean are you on mushrooms or something? Because your opinion is so disconnected from any kind of reality that surely you can tell that you're completely on the wrong page." But they act like they can't. And that's cognitive dissonance. They're probably not acting. They're probably actually having an experience in which their brain has calculated somehow that they're innocent.
So here's the test. When they say that the reason that that guy killed Charlie Kirk is because of Trump's rhetoric, does that sound, well, maybe that could be true? Is that how you think of it? And even if his rhetoric is what caused people to get worked up, what rhetoric is that? Is it where he said, "I'm going to protect you people in the United States by sealing the border"? Is that the part? How about the part where he said, "I'm going to reduce crime for all you poor people, especially poor Black people living in DC and now Memphis"? Is that the part? You know, what was the dangerous rhetoric?
So anyway, yeah, cognitive dissonance. And then of course we're all trying to keep score and the people on the right are positive that the political violence is almost but not completely limited to the left, right? How many of you believe that to be true? That the political violence is largely, not 100%, but largely on the left. Well, I'm not even sure yet because these stories are all a little, you know, the various stories all have a little wrinkle to them.
For example, the guy who tried to kill Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania, he tried to burn his house down and probably wanted to kill his family. That was somebody who was mad about him being pro-Israel or anti-Israel, being maybe too pro-Israel. But it was something about Israel. So it wasn't even about left or right, you know, because the left and the right are kind of mixed on Israel. It wasn't even that. So how do you score that one? Is that the left or the right when it really was a specific issue?
What about the guy who dressed as a police officer and killed or shot two different families, right, that were both in politics? But that was over, I think that was over a specific issue, wasn't it? Was it over abortion or something? But I'm not sure. Do you count the ones where somebody is mad at a specific issue like Israel or like Ukraine or like abortion? Is that the same as saying it's a leftist or is that just somebody who's got this real issue with this one issue? I don't know. But it feels like the violence is coming from the left. I don't know if the people on the right feel like it's coming from the right. They might. They have different news, so maybe they think that. I don't know.
But we don't really have, if anybody's done it yet, I'd like to see it, but a really good accounting of how much of this is from the left versus the right. It seems to me, and let me ask you this question. I asked my Locals subscribers earlier, but I'm going to put it out to the rest of you. Who is the first person in sort of the political talking head world, who's the first person you ever heard say if the Democrats keep talking about Hitler and fascists that it's going to turn violent? Who's the first person who told you that's going to happen? Might have been me. It might have been me. And that would be informed by my background in hypnosis. If the words start to converge in a certain way, the words cause action. You know, words are thoughts and thoughts become action.
And then Greg Gutfeld was saying it on The Five and on his show. Gutfeld has the bigger platform. So he's the one who made it a common thought. But now it's the only thing we're arguing about. It's the number one issue in the country is that that rhetoric is causing violence.
Now, you remember when I told you that when Trump back in 2015, I predicted that Trump would change more than politics, that he would change our very view of reality. This is one of those times. Once you understand that words are the basis of your brain, you know we think in words, that if you change the words you change the thinking, that's why people are always arguing use my definition of the word. I say it's a genocide. If they can get you to accept their word then it changes your thinking. So words change thinking. The way you think of it is that you think and then you come up with the words to describe what you think. Not the case. We're a lot like AI and large language models. The words come first. If your brain has a certain set of words in it that it accesses more easily or first, that's where your thinking is going to end up. It'll end up where your words are. So that's a hypnotist take. So yes, this rhetoric is absolutely lethal.
MSNBC is going all in on this, Trump's fault. And then you've got Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Jasmine Crockett. She falsely claimed, I guess she was on The Breakfast Club maybe yesterday, and she says that both attempted Trump assassins were registered Republicans and had not voted Democrat. Now that is completely made up. That's not true. How in the world did she imagine that the attempted assassins were Republicans? So I believe she got fact-checked on that. I think Charlamagne may have fact-checked her on that. Then she doubled down on calling Trump a quote wannabe Hitler. She said it again. She said it yesterday while Charlie Kirk is in a box. He's not even in the ground yet. And she decided that that was all right. I'll say that again. And she argues that calling Trump a Nazi Hitler kind of guy is no worse than when Trump said I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
Everybody who heard him say that knew that he was making a hyperbole, a statement. Not a single person said, "Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we shoot people on Fifth Avenue because our leader thinks he can do it, so why don't we do it? Let's go shoot some people on Fifth Avenue." No. Not a single person in the whole world thought that that was a call to violence. And listening to Jasmine Crockett, the stupidest person in the Democrat party, I do think she might be the dumbest person in the entire party. But at least Charlamagne tha God, who is the host of The Breakfast Club, he admitted on the show where Jasmine was that he has engaged in rhetoric that could be determined as inciting violence against Trump. He said, "I think we all incite whether we think we do or not." And what I mean by that is I've definitely called that regime fascist. And he said if you hear somebody call him Hitler, if there's somebody that thinks, "Oh, Hitler." And then they look at a lot of actions that are going on, they're like, "Well, let's prevent this before a million people get killed." So I can understand how it all incites violence.
Good for you. I have to say I have continuous mixed feelings about Charlamagne tha God. I certainly agree with some of his takes and I appreciate that he's taking the both obvious and the honest take that there is something about our language that probably causes some action we don't want and that a lot of people are involved and he's admitting that he is too. So I don't know if he'll stop doing it. He came close to almost sort of forgiving that kind of stuff because everybody does it. He didn't say that, but it sort of bumped into that thought.
I've also noticed that the people who are most angry about Charlie Kirk have a belief that he was a completely different person. Completely different person. I've heard somebody raging about how he was racist against Blacks. Now, I don't know every single thing that Charlie Kirk ever said, but I would still be willing to bet a large amount of money that he's never, not even once, said something that anybody could construe as racist against Blacks. I'll bet nothing. I'll bet not once. How about even I'll bet he never even brushed against it. It's completely opposite his Christian identity. And he would be way too smart to do it accidentally. He was way too good. So now, where in the world does that even come from? Where does that come from? I mean, do people just make up and other people say, "Well, I've never heard him talk, but my friend Bob says he's this terrible person." So this is again the two movies on one screen that I always talk about. How in the world would they have that opinion about him? I'm completely baffled.
Chris Cuomo was criticizing Elon Musk and he said, quote, "I know there's power in playing the victim, but Elon Musk is the one saying that the left is the party of murder." So that's what Elon said the other day. The left is the party of murder. And he acts like that is pushing extremism. To which I say, is he really saying that Elon Musk should stop complaining about the left trying to kill him? Do you know how much security that guy needs? Can you imagine the number of death threats that Elon Musk has gotten? All from the left. So when he says that the left is the party of murder, yeah, there's some hyperbole in that obviously, but to imagine that Elon Musk is the problem. He's literally the victim of all kinds of death threats and entirely from the left, I would guess. If it's not 100%, it's probably 99%. So I think Chris Cuomo missed the mark on that complaint because the problem is not the person complaining about getting murdered. That's not the problem.
Oh my god. Yeah, Charlie Kirk got murdered, but the real problem is the people complaining about it. What? What? The real problem is the complaining about the murder. I think the real problem is the murder. It's reminding me of a Norm Macdonald joke. You've probably all heard it by now when he talks about Bill Cosby. He goes, "You know, some people say the worst part about the Bill Cosby situation is the hypocrisy." And then he pauses for effect and goes, "I don't think it's the hypocrisy. I think the worst problem is the rape." And it feels like that. It's like, no, the worst problem is not the complaining. It's not the complaining. It's the murder. It's the murder.
Then here's another example. The account Media Lies spotted this. So the Tennessee House Representative Justin Pearson, he was on MSNBC just recently, and here are some of the things he said after Charlie Kirk's murder. So wouldn't you think people would tone it down after he gets murdered? Well, some of the things he said was Trump's an authoritarian dictator. The cities that he's sending the National Guard into will be quote occupied by the military. Yeah, he's a white supremacist. He called federal assistance for law enforcement terrorism. We have to fight back against it. These are not benign acts and Black people are being used as pawns.
Now, does that sound like somebody who's trying to get a solution to any problems? No. That is not somebody who's trying to solve a problem. I don't know what that is, but it's not a problem solver. And when asked about what the problem is, Representative Pearson said that instead of more policing, what they need is things to battle poverty, resources basically to battle poverty. Because if you battled poverty and you improved the schools, you would have less violence. Well, he's a stupid idiot because if you don't solve crime, you don't get any of that other stuff there. There's no such thing as far as I know. I've never heard of any high crime area that solved their crime by helping the poor. Have you? I've never heard of that. As far as I know, that's a completely impossible thing.
However, I have heard of cities such as New York City under Giuliani where they beat back the crime and then the economy prospered and presumably people did better in general. So there are examples where battling crime first can get you to a place where you have at least the opportunity to work on whatever you think are the other problems. But if you don't do crime first, you're not going to have a base of business. You're not going to have a tax base. You won't have money to improve your schools from the tax base. This guy's an idiot. This is not a difference of opinion. This is an idiot. And he's elected. He's in charge.
And I guess on MSNBC, Peter Baker, he said that the people who were calling the left radical and lunatics are the ones ratcheting up the political rhetoric. Yeah. Do you think any Republicans are going to get a gun and murder somebody because they've heard the words radical and lunatic? Do you think that's likely? Where do these people come from? They have the worst takes.
Well, Bill Maher was on Friday night, his normal show, and he had some things to say. He did helpfully tell his audience, and they got really quiet, that Trump is not Hitler. He was very forceful about Trump is not Hitler. So you're not really helping yourself if that's where you're going with your narrative. And then he said, I'm paraphrasing that a little bit, but he said directly, Trump is not Hitler. So thank you for that. That helps a lot. And he said that the people who mocked Charlie Kirk's death or tried to justify it, he says, "I think you're gross. I have no use for you." So that was the right take. I agree with that. So I think he's on the right side of this. He's a free speech guy, so that makes sense.
But I wonder, I didn't hear him acknowledge like Charlamagne tha God did that he might have been part of the problem. Did Bill Maher ever accuse Trump of being a fascist or trying to steal democracy? Because I think he might have. I think he might have. But I'd rather be happy that he said Trump is not Hitler and happy that he's not happy with the people who celebrated it. So that's something. But I feel like he needs to kind of come clean that he may have used some of the words. I mean, he's not to blame. Yeah. I'm not going to say he's to blame, but collectively, don't you think they all knew the risk? You know, you've heard the phrase stochastic terrorism. The idea that you just use words to condemn somebody to the point where somebody says, "Man, I'm going to have to take care of this." And they get violent. So it feels like the Democrats knew on some level that they were putting Republicans in mortal danger, but they were okay with it because they wouldn't personally be blamed. Oh, I'm just one person who said a few words. You know, if there were hundreds and hundreds of people on TV saying a few words, well, you can't put me in jail for that.
David Axelrod, famed Democrat consultant sort of guy, he torched the Democrats over a few what he calls the mistakes. He said it was insane to spend three years before he did something serious about the border. Insane. And then he also said it was wrong not to be much more active in trying to reopen schools. Does it strike you as odd that these two problems that every Republican understood were gigantic problems that the Democrats had to wait a year after they were out of office to even admit that? Oh yeah, this was like insane. Just insane. Did he not know that at the time? I think he did. I think he did know that was insane, at least the border part.
And then Axelrod is complaining about the Republicans who may have used the word war recently, as in we're in a war with the other side. And he said, the words have specific meaning. When you say you're in a war, it's an invitation for people to commit acts of violence. And it didn't take long for social media to catch this on X. There's a clip of Chris Murphy, prominent Democrat, who was saying, you know, I think the day before Charlie Kirk was killed, he said, "We're in a war to save the country. You have to be willing to do whatever is necessary." Now if you say the context is a war and then you say you have to do whatever is necessary that does allow killing. That would be whatever is necessary to some people, not to me obviously. So Axelrod I would sort of partially agree that war is a fighting word but when I see Republicans talk that way, I know that they don't mean it literally, but when Democrats talk about Trump being the next authoritarian Hitler, they mean it literally. I mean, not that he's going to have a little mustache and change his name to Hitler, but that he would act like that. I believe they mean that literally. I've never heard any Republican who would believe that we're in a literal war as opposed to a political one.
Anyway, Trump has ordered the State Department to expand their screening to disallow people who are trying to get into the country on visas to disallow them if they've said bad things about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And I guess they're using AI to search for things that they might have said. Now, I'm happy about that. I feel like you don't get to come in the front door and be our guest unless you're saying good things, at least on day one. I mean, you know, you shouldn't have a history of criticizing the country and then trying to get into it. So I'm all right with that. I don't know if that will pass any legal muster, but I'm definitely okay with it.
Andrew Tate, who sometimes has gone quiet, but now he's re-emerging. He was on Piers Morgan Uncensored, and he says one of the problems, the big problems in the country is women voting. And he says, "Who votes for liberalism? Who votes for soft on crime? Who votes for open borders? Who votes for DEI by and large? Male or female? Which sex? Female." So he says, "Why was this woman, you know, the Ukrainian woman who got stabbed on the light rail train?" He says, "Why is this woman going to work and riding the tram alone at night instead of thinking this is dangerous?" She believed that she can go and fend for herself. Bad things happen when we ignore reality. Society was built by evil, misogynistic men. I love the honesty of that. And then these feminists came along and destroyed it all. I believe in protecting women because I don't believe they can fight. And he says, "If that makes me a misogynist, so be it."
Now, of course, Andrew Tate is brilliant at being the most provocative on whatever the topic is. So this again is more of that. He's very good at this communication thing, if you haven't noticed. But I'll give you my take. I also believe that women did not evolve for defense, protection, defense to be their top priority sort of biologically designed to do it. Men did. Men are designed for violence. We're designed to protect what we love and kill what we don't and kill what we need to eat. And so I just ask you this, male or female, let's say you've got a date, one of you is male, one of you is female. You go into a restaurant. Which one of you knows where the exits are? Which one of you plans just automatically, reflexively what would happen if an armed person came in and shooting in the restaurant? Like what would be the first thing you do? Men do that. We are designed, we're trained from birth, I think, to be defense-oriented.
So if you're talking about what should we do about the border of the country, you don't want women involved in that. If you do, you're going to get an open border because women are trained, designed, evolved to put empathy first. Now, before you call me a misogynist, let me be clear. I do think that a woman could be the president and the best protector of the border. You remember Hillary was pretty hard-ass about the border before, you know, before she lied and said she wasn't. So yeah, you could get Margaret Thatcher. I could probably name half a dozen women who would be perfectly strong on all the things, strong on crime, strong on the border. So it's not about individuals, right? It's about averages. And the average applies to voting, but it doesn't apply to any one person who wanted to be extraordinary at one job. So any job is fine if they're qualified for the job. But as soon as you go with averages, it's like all right, everybody vote, men and women, everybody vote. You're gonna get the male vote, which would protect you from violence, watered down by the average of women are like, "Oh, we don't want to treat people badly. Let them in." So I won't go as far as Andrew Tate did, but I will say and obviously there's not really a practical way that women would lose the vote. I don't think that's serious. But he makes the point that if you're looking for the source of the problem, that's it. That's it. I'm pretty sure that if only men voted, we would have a very different looking world. You know, maybe in some ways it'd be worse, but in ways that matter a lot to us, I'm pretty sure it would be better. You know, we never would have opened the border, for example. That never would have happened, I don't think.
Comcast, who owns MSNBC, issued a public apology. You already know the story. One of their commentators got fired for kind of suggesting that maybe Charlie Kirk's narrative got him killed. And you know, they say they'll do better, etc. But I don't know. I don't know if their apology means anything because then they put the same bunch of lying idiots on the air to make the same claims that Trump's the one to blame for the violence. They all need to be fired if you're going to be taken seriously. And if you're not going to fire the liars and the morons who are making everything worse and they're basically triggering killers in my opinion, if you're not going to do something real about that, don't give us your little press release about that one guy you didn't care about anyway who didn't have his own show. They didn't care about him. They might have even wanted to get rid of him. Maybe he wasn't that good anyway. So they lost nothing and they just went right back to saying things that'll get Republicans killed. So no respect whatsoever for MSNBC or their management.
I guess the House Oversight Committee, James Comer's committee, has requested Epstein's financial records from the Treasury. It looks like they'll get them. To which I say, really? We're just now going to look at his financial records? Has anybody looked at them? Have his financial records been thoroughly examined by some police entity in prior cases, you know, prior situations? Or would the Treasury Department have to start from scratch and say, "Ah, nobody's looked into this, but you know, we'll spend a month trying to put it together." Well, maybe we'll find out everything or maybe we won't because allegedly Epstein was an expert at laundering money. So if we see all the official and legal ways that he moved money around, it might not tell us anything, but I'd love to see the dollar amounts, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you like to see if suddenly, I don't know, $50 million came into his account one day and there's no explanation for it? I don't know. And I don't know how much of his money would have been, let's say, in Swiss accounts or something like that. I don't know if we can penetrate them these days. So we might not find out anything.
Did you know that one of the ways to get rid of all those microplastics from the water? Scientists found out that you could put extracts from okra and fenugreek, some kind of plant-based thing, and tamarind. And what it does is it sticks the plastic and makes it heavy enough to sink to the bottom. So they can get rid of 90% of microplastics just by putting this natural goo, they call it, into the water. Now, this is one of several scientific breakthroughs I've told you about recently that all deal with microplastics. And I think microplastics will be another one of those Adams' law of slow-moving disaster situations where it looked like are we going to all die from eating plastic because it's in everything and we can't get it out? Well, it looks like we had enough time for the smart people to figure out some solutions. They don't have the solutions yet, but they're definitely knocking on the door with a number of different technologies.
As you know, Trump said he's going to deploy the National Guard to Memphis next because they have very high crime. I think they're the highest crime in the country. They have a Democrat mayor, but the Democrat mayor has allowed them to come in, but he's trying to have it both ways. He's trying to basically criticize Trump while accepting his help. So he's really walking a fine line here. What did he say? He said there are a lot of citizens in our community that are scared, said Mayor Young about the National Guard coming in, and he says he doesn't think sending troops will bring down crime but he welcomes the help. What an idiot there. There are so many Democrats who you can't even say well you know I have a slightly different opinion. That's not about opinion. This is just an idiot. I mean, it's hard to say anything except, "Oh, you're an idiot." Oh, okay. That's all we need to know. There's no point in discussing because you're not going to change the mind of an idiot. But he thinks that sending the troops will not bring down crime. After he watched Washington DC, he thinks it won't bring down crime. Well, at least temporarily it will. I don't know what happens in the long run. He says these citizens are scared. Really? They're going to be scared of the National Guard who won't be arresting anybody. They'll just be sort of a resource and being a presence and they're more afraid of the people who are stopping crime than the crime. So you'd rather take your chance with a murderer than a National Guard member? Is that what your citizens would prefer? You idiot. You absolute idiot.
Now, I've said this before, but I think all local governments are criminal organizations. I think they're all just finding ways to move money around. By the way, when the founders of the country designed our form of government, there wasn't that much money moving around, was there? If you were a mayor, it wasn't like, oh, we've got these giant contracts for building the new thing. We're building the new town center. We're building, I don't know, fixing the highways in town or whatever we're doing. If you didn't have a ton of money flowing through the city, well, maybe the people you elect would just do the job of taking care of the city. But the moment the dollar amounts go through the roof, which would be the current situation, you know, anything you did in a city would be ridiculously expensive, and then you let those same politicians decide where the money goes, you know, which vendors do the work, you are guaranteed to create a criminal organization around siphoning off some of that money just because there's so much of it.
So I would argue that the founders who brilliantly created a great system and constitution that if they had known how much money was going to be flowing through the cities eventually they would not have designed it the way they did. There's a part missing, the audit, you know. Now, obviously anything can be audited if people want to, but it needs to be a permanent part of the system. You've got to have something where the auditors change out often so they don't get corrupted or owned by the people they're trying to audit. And I don't know exactly what the system would be, but there needs to be gigantic transparency about where every dollar goes and we should all be able to easily look at it and we should look at, oh, it went to this vendor. Does this vendor have any connection, family or best friends or anything with the people who made the decision? Well, then you could maybe drive crime out of governments. But at the moment, I just assume that any mayor of a big city is a criminal. How many of you assume that? I assume that every mayor of every big city is a criminal and that maybe that's what attracts them to the job. I don't know. There might be some exceptions, but my assumption every time I see one is like, why would you even have that job? Who would want that job? Who would have so much skill that they could be a mayor and that that was their best career opportunity? Criminals. Criminals. So I believe it ends up being all criminals in local government.
Anyway, so we'll see what happens in Memphis. True. So if you're wondering, 63% of Memphis is Black. 43% in Washington DC is Black. Now, the mayor said that the base problem is poverty. And as I've explained, you can't work on the poverty until you work on the crime. So there you go.
Elon Musk and JD Vance are agreeing with each other on X that you could do a lot about crime if you just put in jail forever the few people who commit all the crimes. Now, you're probably aware that there are just individuals who can do hundreds of crimes and even be caught hundreds of times and released to do hundreds more. So if you don't put them in jail forever, your crime rate probably never goes down because they don't stop doing crimes and they're not going anywhere. So if you don't lock them up forever, there's no really hope of crime ever going down. It would be impossible. But if you lock up the most dangerous people who are doing probably I don't know what the ratio is but 80% of the crime probably maybe 5% of the criminals are doing 80% of the crime and we know who they are because we keep catching them. It's not like they're even hard to catch. They've been caught maybe dozens of times already but they're just let go. So JD and Elon agree on that and I feel like that would be a way better approach than the National Guard. The National Guard is not a bad idea. It brings attention to things and maybe calms things down temporarily, but doesn't seem like a permanent. I don't think it's a permanent fix. But jailing the people who do all the crimes, that would be permanent.
Now, if you wanted to get clever and say, "Hey, it's too evil to put people in jail for life because they let's say they shoplifted three times in a row or something like that." I don't know if that would be enough to be life in prison. But I feel like some people just need to be sent to the island where they can live with the other crooks and they're just not near people who are not crooks and maybe keep them there forever. But it doesn't have to be in a jail cell. You know, you can let them just wander around and eat cheap food and grow their own or they could survive. It's just you just can't let them with other people. All right. Get the fuck away from those prisoners, from the criminals, I say.
Missouri passed a Trump-approved redistricting plan which would give them one more Republican House seat probably, the AP is reporting. So that's pick up one and remember the House is really close so one seat could be the difference between a majority and not having majority for the Republicans.
We know now that John Bolton's personal email account, he was using a non-secure personal email for some stuff, he's being accused of, was hacked by a foreign entity. New York Post is reporting. Now, I don't know what foreign entity it was that's not being reported. But how do you feel knowing that he was using his personal email for some things that may have been classified? At least that's an allegation. And that foreign entities had hacked it. Well, that's bad. That's bad.
Trump is calling for a 50 to 100% tariff on China by NATO countries. So he's not talking about just the US. He's talking about NATO countries. Apparently the NATO countries are still buying a lot of oil. I don't know which ones are buying the most, but so NATO is fighting a war or supporting Ukraine, fighting a war against Russia while funding the war for Russia by buying their oil. Now, I don't know what options they have. Could it be that there's just not physically enough oil that you can get there to replace it or it's way too expensive? But even expensive doesn't seem to be a good enough reason, you know, in a war scenario. Anyway, so Trump says that NATO's commitment to win has been less than 100%. Now, I don't know if he's going to get away with this, but he wants to go major sanctions on Russia and major sanctions on China for buying oil from Russia. Do you think that'll pan out? Do you think first of all he'll get these tariffs that the European Union will do it? And then secondly, do you think it would work? You know, do you think it would make any difference? Because anything short of crashing Russia's economy isn't going to work. And even that is fraught with danger. So but it does look like Trump is serious about taking down the Russian economy.
Mamdani, who is running for mayor and probably will get elected in New York City, he vowed to arrest Netanyahu if he ever got a chance, if he ever came to the city. Now, the reason he would arrest him is that the International Criminal Court, which America is not a party to so we're not bound by it, but it issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu I think they're alleging him war crimes against humanity in Gaza and Mamdani says he would push to get him arrested. Now it doesn't look like that's within the power of a mayor so I don't know what he would do to get him arrested. Maybe encourage the police to do it. He couldn't order them to do it. He wouldn't have the authority. But he's making that promise.
Now, does that seem like a good idea to you? Well, apparently his pro-Palestinian stance drove 62% of the primary voters to the polls. So Mamdani has a very big anti-Israel support base. But I'll tell you, if you had told me that New York City would be electing a mayor who seems somewhat obviously anti-Israel, I would have said, "No, no, that can't happen." Has anybody told you the size of the Jewish citizens of New York City? I mean, there's so many of them that there's no way you can elect some anti-Semitic guy. Well, I guess I was not aware how many pro-Palestinians there are in New York City because it looks like that's going to happen. Now, I would not have predicted that in a million years. Anyway, but it'll be a good test of Israel's influence. You know how there are many Americans who say Israel really runs the United States when it comes to Israel and Middle East policy. Not everything but when it comes to what we do in the Middle East and wars and stuff like that in the Middle East people say Israel is controlling our government and there's a reasonable argument for that. AIPAC is very successful and blah blah blah. But this will be a good test. If Mamdani can get elected in New York City, you're going to have to wonder just how powerful is the Israeli lobby in the United States because I feel as if Israel would want to try as hard as possible to influence events so that that guy didn't get elected. But what happens if they don't have any impact? Would you be willing to reassess your belief that Israel is controlling the government of the United States? Because there's no way they'd be in favor of that. Mamdani getting elected. And so keep an eye on that. You know, anything could happen.
According to Interesting Engineering, there's a new, or at least I never heard of it, method for storing energy where they freeze air so cold that it turns liquid and it's much smaller. Takes up much less room when it becomes liquid and then they store it overnight. So they cool the air when the electricity is plentiful and cheap. And then when they need to release it, they've got some kind of device where when they warm it up a little bit, the super frozen air which had become liquid changes from liquid to air again and then it expands greatly and the expansion drives some turbines and it drives a generator. So apparently South Korea says they're close to being able to build that. They've got a prototype. I guess there are other countries that are pursuing it too.
So that's all I had for you today. Remember that Owen Gregorian will be running his spaces event right after I'm done. I'm going to say a few words privately to the Locals subscribers and then Owen will be firing up his spaces event on X if you want to follow up on anything that we said today.
Locals, I'm going to come at you privately in 30 seconds. The rest of you, thanks for joining. I appreciate it. I hope you come back tomorrow. We'll do it again.
Come on in.
It's time for your favorite thing.
Yeah, it is.
There are some empty chairs up front.
Grab a seat.
Make sure you've got a delicious beverage.
And uh get a cat in your lap if you have it.
If you have the option, it's always better with a cat on your lap.
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
He 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 her tiny shiny human brains.
All you need for that is a cup mug or a glass of tanker cher ste a canteen jugger 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 hit of the day.
The thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip.
And it happens now.
Go.
All right, people.
Well, apparently Tommy Robinson has uh a gajillion people protesting in central London, I think it is.
And it turns out a lot of those people are carrying American flags and chanting about Charlie Kirk in London.
Do you believe that the the uh the Brits maybe got a little bit more energy for protesting because of Charlie Kirk's tragic situation?
I'll bet yes.
I'll bet yes.
And you you might see a global effect to the assassination.
This might be the first indication that we cannot calculate how big this is.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself because it's not that big yet, but the potential size of this is is hard to estimate, but if you look at the the crowds, look at the crowd pictures.
That's a lot of people, and they all have flags, some of them American.
Well, after this show, as is our tradition for Saturday, um Owen Gregorian will be hosting a spaces event.
That's the audio only event on X.
So, go to X after the show and just search for Owen Gregorian and you'll find the link.
Um I wonder if there's any science that didn't have to happen because they could have just asked me.
Oh, here's some.
According to the conversation, that's a publication.
Uh, cats give you oxytocin.
So, that's a brain chemistry that makes you feel good, makes you feel loved.
So, it's true.
We don't get it just from being close to other humans.
We also get oxytocin from animals.
And I think they had already tested dogs and that gave you oxytocin, but cats do too.
Uh, I will tell you that that was the primary reason I got my two cats.
I got them for oxytocin.
Like literally, I said to myself, um, I'm at a certain age and a certain health situation where the odds of me even touching other people are going way down.
you know, I'm lucky if I can get, you know, a handshake once a week.
I have, you know, it's just natural when you're when you're not in a place where you could get into a relationship and you're not in one.
Um, there's really a shortage of oxytocin and I think that can make you crazy.
I believe that if you have no oxytocin and that might be some of the problem with these shooters as well.
If they don't have access to touch, they don't get calmed down and they don't find any sense of peace just being in their own body and in their own life and they're looking for something big to give them a dopamine or some kind of thrill.
So get yourself a cat and your dopamine.
Well, I don't know about dopamine, but oxytocin will be way better.
Hey, I wonder if I can find a cat.
All right, I think I'll do the rest of the show with a cat on my cheek.
Oxytocin.
I'm getting all your oxytocin.
Stealing it.
I'm taking it.
Yeah, give it up, Gary.
All right.
I'll need another hit later, so come on back later.
Okay.
All right.
Well, they didn't really need to study that.
They could have just asked me, "Scott, do you think your cat will give you oxytocin?" And I would have said, "Hell yeah, you don't have to study that." Well, uh, scientists have, uh, they claim reversed aging in monkeys.
They found a way to reverse aging.
And I'm going to tell you exactly how.
But uh it was a certain kind of monkey called a macak.
Macak.
That's the name of the monkey.
Mak.
So I was interested in making Mak younger.
So if you want to talk about macak, this would be the place to do it.
They're monkeys.
Damn it.
You You're disgusting.
Oh man, you can make anything sound dirty.
They're monkeys, people.
They're monkeys.
Clean up your mind.
All right, you're probably wondering, how in the world do they reverse aging, but I'm going to explain it to you.
Now, pay attention.
I'm going to, you know, I have a a gift for summarizing and simplifying.
So, I'm going to take this complicated thing and try to give it to you in the simplest terms.
And if you don't understand this, well, I'm pretty sure the problem's on your end cuz I'm going to explain this so clearly.
All right.
So, mechanistically, the SRC derived exoomes, they reduce the cellular scinessence markers, and I'm talking about the P21cip, PI1, and the YH2 AAX obviously inflammation um from your ILB, your TNFA, your IL6, and your oxidative stress.
All right, you following me?
While enhancing heterocchromatin stability uh and immune function.
So this suppresses the the seagass sting inflammatory pathways and promotes systemic rejuvenation.
Everybody got that?
See it was kind of easy.
You just have to relax and listen and it all makes sense.
All right.
So, you already know that Apple introduced uh the new feature in their earbuds, their little earpieces that will translate, but I didn't realize how good it is.
Apparently, it's live translation um without a delay.
I mean, there's got to be some delay, but it's almost no delay.
But also, it's so good that both people can be talking over each other and it will still translate the other person.
That's pretty that that is impressive because in the real world people talk over each other and there's lots of other noise still works.
So imagine if you will this becomes more of a normal thing.
Can you imagine traveling to places that you would have never traveled before uh but being able to understand everybody?
Oh the problem is if you meet some villager in a remote place they're not going to have the translator.
So you would understand them, but they would have no idea what you're saying.
Uh maybe you could use another app for that.
But as I've said before, I have a hypothesis that the reason that the US, Russia, and China are sort of these friendnemy rivals, you know, maybe more rivals than friendmy.
I feel like it might be because of language.
I'm not, you know, I'm not positive.
I wouldn't bet my life on it.
But doesn't it seem to you that whenever we're dealing with a country that speaks perfect English, even if it's not a, you know, normally an English-speaking country, that whenever the leader is gifted in English, we get along with them.
Is that true?
I mean, it feels like that's mostly true, right?
So I just have this feeling that if the leaders can talk in the same language comfortably that everything works out differently.
It just it just feels like that's true.
You would you wouldn't imagine that because you think it's no no it's not the way they talk.
Scott, you know they have translators.
It's really these big issues.
You know the issues are the reason that we don't get get along.
To which I say I challenge that assumption.
I don't think that's how brains are organized.
I pe I think people when they can talk to people comfortably they just say well I'm not going to nuke my friend Don.
I don't I don't want to nuke my friend.
But if the only contact you have is through an interpreter.
I feel like that's like a little wall that allows you to say all right I'm over here.
My enemy is over there on the other side of that invisible wall.
Language is pretty important.
This might change everything.
Well, RS Technica is reporting Benj Edwards that uh there was an education report that was being put together by the Canadian government.
So, they uh they authorized it.
It took them 18 months to put together a report on the ethical uses of AI.
It's important that the report was about the ethical uses of AI.
And now the humorous irony.
Apparently the report included a number of uh fake fake sources because the AI lied to them and they believed it and they wrote down all the fake sources.
And it took them 18 months.
It take it took him 18 months to create a report with fake sources that AI probably wrote.
They probably had AI write a report about the dangers of AI if you if you use it unethically, I guess.
All right, good job, guys.
I saw a post by an ex user, Justine Moore, who I believe is a high-end investor, and uh she said, "The best X accounts are run by people who are who are at some level unemployable.
You have to be posting takes that disqualify you from a decent chunk of jobs in your industry in order to have a good ex account.
Well, I would agree with that.
Um, if I could just speak personally, I'm really sure that if I had a regular day job with a regular boss that I wouldn't say 75% of the things I say online.
there's no way I would say the things honestly that I say now.
Um, and still uh even though I didn't have a boss per se, I got cancelled worldwide for for one of my opinions or at least the way I stated it wasn't even because of the opinion.
Nobody disagreed with my opinion, but I got cancelled anyway.
Well, President Trump has uh indicated that he's looking into going after George Soros, figuring out how his money is flowing through and possibly getting to violent protests and other bad distortions in our country.
And he thinks that there might be a RICO case because Soros would be part of a larger organized group of people doing things that potentially could be illegal.
don't know exactly what would be in that category of illegal, but uh Trump does.
And he does include the younger Zoros.
So he's not just saying George, he's, you know, saying the Alexander as well.
And my question is, and I'm sure Mike Cernovich would be asking the same question, why only one billionaire?
It it it seems obvious to me that there are about something like half a dozen billionaires who are running the show because you know money drives everything.
Why would you only look into one of them?
It it feels like whatever they're doing, they're all doing it.
It seems like they're playing the same game.
So, I would say you want to maybe expand that a little bit.
Find out where the money's coming from.
Uh because it all it all looks dirty and unethical to me.
We'll talk about the Charlie Kirk situation, of course.
Um, so, uh, apparently Republicans, some Republicans, dozens of them, are trying to get congressional leaders to investigate what they call a sustained breakdown of law and order by anti-American ideology across the country.
Just News is reporting on this.
So, Chip Roy is organizing this, I think.
And uh so they've signed an open letter calling for the house leaders to form some committee to look into it because of the numerous attacks.
But they also so this is related to the story about RICO and Soros.
But they also say they want to follow the money and uncover the force behind the NOS's donors media public officials and all entities driving what they call a coordinated attack.
Now the real question will be the degree of coordination because uh was it uh uh who is the uh seven words you can't um George Carlin George Carlin used to explain that you don't need to be you don't have to have a meeting with you know notes and everybody says out loud oh I agree with you if everybody knows what to do.
So the Democrat world is one of these everybody knows what to do.
You don't have to have a meeting.
Do you think the hosts of MSNBC have to be instructed to call Trump a fascist?
No.
They just look what other people do and they say, "All right, that's what we're doing.
I guess we're just, you know, maybe we'll be worse than the others or better, but basically we're all doing what the others are doing." So you only need to sort of create the narrative and then everybody else just snaps to grid um and automatically conforms.
You don't really need to coordinate.
I feel another source of oxytocin coming.
Hey, look who it is.
It's Roman the cat coming to join his brother.
All right, we will move on.
So, the the alleged shooter of um Charlie Kirk, his name is Tyler Robinson.
He's a high school student.
Not no I'm sorry.
He's not a high school student.
He's 22.
But when he was in high school, he had a 40 average and he even had a scholarship to college, but he I guess he didn't last long in college.
So, he's living at home.
And probably you're wondering, how could somebody with a 4.0 no average be so stupid and so hypnotized um to do what he did.
And I can tell you one thing that's really useful to go through life with intelligence does not protect you from influence.
It just doesn't.
You You're sure that it should, right?
You're positive that it should.
Yeah.
He dropped out of college.
Um, you're sure that he you're sure that the smarter you are, the more invulnerable you'll be to influence, but just look around there.
There are people who are literally geniuses who are on completely opposite sides of things.
How is that possible?
If if intelligence uh got you to the right answer more often, wouldn't all the intelligent people be on the same side?
But they're not.
I mean, even even if you looked at the geniuses that were part of the Pay.
Pal original team, you know, the Elon Musk, the David Sachs, Reed Hoffman, you've got Reed Hoffman on the, you know, far left and funding things, and you've got Elon and Saxs on the right.
They're all geniuses, but they're, you know, they're they're not immune from being influenced by something in the environment like that.
There's just no protection whatsoever.
That's that's my official uh word as a trained hypnotist because hypnotists learn that the smarter you are, the easier it is to hypnotize you.
Let me say that again.
Hypnotists learn in school.
We're actually taught that that the smarter and more confident the subject is, the easier it is to hypnotize them.
don't know why, you know, I I can speculate because there I don't know.
I I don't I wouldn't even speculate, but it's a known it's a known phenomenon.
It's it's well enough known that um it's actually taught taught in school.
All right, what else we got here?
Um, so the as far as we know, but I think it's still a little fog of war, the uh the perpetrator, the shooter was a far-left kind of guy.
You might be seeing online some rumors that I think are unsubstantiated that he was actually further right um than Charlie Kirk.
Um, I believe that's all unsubstantiated stuff, but there's enough to it that I would say you better wait and find out more about this guy cuz it's not impossible.
You know, just almost anything that you're sure you know about this story might be wrong.
you know, we're we're at that point in the story where really there could be really basic fundamental things that we find out are just not true.
So, uh, as far as we can tell, he was a far-left guy, but, uh, maybe not.
We'll see.
All right.
Um, one of his friends from high school says, you know, he's definitely far left.
And to me, that's pretty convincing.
I I feel like if if his good high school friend said, "Oh, yeah, he's he's way left." That's probably dependable.
That that seems like a reasonably strong statement.
It's it's unlikely that he went from high school far left to a few years later far right.
You know, that doesn't seem likely.
All right.
So, as you know, we're in sort of a contest to blame whatever you think is the other side.
So, of course, conservatives are blaming the left for the um all the the dangerous talk that looks like it may have encouraged people to get violent.
And of course, the left the the left is arguing that Trump's rhetoric is the the root cause.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
You know, uh we always joke about the uh the Democrats projecting like like if they murder you, they will accuse you of murder as they're stabbing you, right?
How many times have we seen that example?
as they're stabbing you.
Stop murdering me.
Stop it.
You're murdering me.
Stop it.
And you know, we're I'm just in a different movie, so all I see is them murdering us.
Uh but they're apparently I don't know if they believe their own movie.
What do you think?
Do you think the hosts of MMS NBC believe that Trump is really the root cause here and that they're not?
and that they believe they're not.
Do you believe they believe that?
It's possible because of a cognitive dissonance.
So, cognitive dissonance um won't allow you to form an opinion of yourself that's too negative if you're if you have a healthy ego, if you're not mentally ill.
So if you're perfectly normal, your brain is working the way it should, it will malfunction when you're presented with a situation where uh you have obviously done something stupid or evil and you don't think you're stupid and you don't think you're evil.
That's what triggers cognitive dissonance.
When there's a there's a disconnect between what you're doing or experiencing and what you believe to be true.
And then your brain spontaneously comes up with a story that usually sounds ridiculous to observers.
So here's the test.
Did the MSNBo NBC hosts are they experiencing the situation in which there's strong indication that they are the bad guys?
What do you think?
H have they created are they in a situation where it's becoming somewhat obvious that they're the bad guys and that they might be stupid and they might be evil.
Would you agree that that's sort of becoming obvious now?
What would smart people with normal brains, no, you don't need any mental illness, just a normal brain, what would they do in that situation?
Well, they would hallucinate that the real problem is something else so that they're off the hook.
And so they and they they snapped the grid on uh on Trump.
It's like uh why do you have a bunion on your toe?
Trump.
Trump.
Why does it look like it's going to rain today?
Trump.
So you've got this little Trump reflex that they've developed because everything's Trump's fault.
But the tell the way you can tell it's cognitive dissonance as opposed to just a different opinion is that the people who are not experiencing the cognitive dissonance look at it and they say um are you drunk or I mean are you are you in mushrooms or something?
because your opinion is so disconnected from any kind of reality that surely you can tell that you're completely on the wrong page, but they act like they can't.
And that's cognitive dissonance.
They're they're probably not acting.
They're probably actually having an experience in which their brain has calculated somehow that they're innocent.
So here's the test.
When they say that the reason that that guy killed Charlie Kirk is because of Trump's um rhetoric, does that sound well?
Maybe that could be true.
Is that how you think of it?
And even if his rhetoric is what caused people to get worked up, what rhetoric is that?
Is it where he said, "I'm going to protect you people in the United States by sealing the border." Is that the part?
How about the part where he said, "I'm going to reduce crime for all you poor people, especially poor black people living in DC and now Memphis." Is that the part?
You know, what was the dangerous rhetoric?
So, anyway, yeah, cognitive dissonance.
So, and then of course we're all trying to uh keep score and and we're the people on the right are positive that the political violence is almost but not completely limited to the left, right?
How how many of you believe that to be true?
That the political violence is largely not 100% but largely on the left.
Well, I'm not even sure yet because these stories are all a little uh you know, the various stories all have a little uh wrinkle to them.
For example, the guy who tried to kill Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania, he tried to burn his house down and u probably wanted to kill his family.
That was somebody who was mad about him being pro-Israel or anti-Israel being maybe too pro-Israel.
Was that it?
But it was something about Israel.
So it wasn't even about left or right, you know, because the left and the right are kind of mixed on Israel.
It wasn't even that.
So how do you score that one?
Is that the left or the right when it really was a specific issue?
What about the guy who dressed as a police officer and killed or shot two different families, right?
Uh that were both in politics.
So, it was a husband and a wife and um but that was over I think that was over a specific issue, wasn't it?
Was it over abortion or something?
But I'm not sure.
Do you count the ones where somebody is mad at a specific issue like Israel or like Ukraine or like abortion?
Is that the same as saying it's a leftist or is that just somebody who's got this real, you know, real issue with this one issue?
I don't know.
But, uh, it feels like the violence is coming from the left.
I don't I don't know if the people on the right feel like it's coming from the right.
They might.
They have different news, so maybe they think that.
I don't know.
But we we don't really have a if if anybody's done it yet, I'd like to see it, but a really good accounting of, you know, how much of this is from the left versus the right.
It it seems to me, and let let me ask you this question.
I asked I asked my locals subscribers earlier, but I'm going to put it out to the rest of you.
Who is the first person um in sort of the political talking head world?
Who's the first person you ever heard say if the Democrats keep talking about Hitler and fascists that it's going to turn violent?
Who's the first person who told you that's going to happen?
Might have been me.
It might have been me.
And that would be informed my my background in hypnosis.
If if the words um start to converge in a certain way, the words cause action.
You know, words words are thoughts and thoughts become action.
So, um and then, uh Greg Guffeld was saying it on the five and on his show, Guffeld and he he has the bigger platform.
So, I he's the one who made it a common thought.
But now it's the only thing we're arguing about.
It's the the number one issue in the country is that that rhetoric is causing uh violence.
Now, you remember when I told you that when Trump back in 2015, I predicted that Trump would change more than politics, that he would change our very view of reality.
This is one of those times.
Once you understand that uh words words are the basis of your brain you know we think in words that if you change the words you change the thinking that's why people are always arguing use my definition of the word I say it's a genocide if if they can get you to accept their word then it changes your thinking.
So words change thinking.
The way you think of it is that you think and then you come up with the words to describe what you think.
Not the case.
We're we're a lot like AI and large language models.
The words come first.
If you if your brain has a certain set of words in it that it that it accesses you more easily or first, that's where your thinking is going to end up.
It'll end up where your words are.
So that's a hypnotist take.
So yes, this rhetoric is absolutely lethal.
Um let's see.
Yeah, MSNBC is is going all in on this Trump's fault.
And then you've got uh Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Jasmine Crockett.
She falsely claimed I guess she was on the Breakfast Club maybe yesterday and uh she says that both attempted Trump assassins were registered Republicans and had not voted Democrat.
Now that is completely made up.
That's not true.
How in the world did she imagine that the attempted assassins were Republicans?
So, I believe um I think she got fact checked on that.
I I think Charlemagne may have fact checked her on that.
Um then she she doubled down on calling Trump a quote wannabe Hiller.
She said it again.
She said it yesterday while Charlie Kirk is in a box.
He's not even in the ground yet.
And she decided that that was all right.
I'll say that again.
Um, and she she's she argues that uh calling Trump a you know a Nazi Hitler kind of guy is is no worse with then when Trump said I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
Everybody who heard him say that knew that he was making a hyperbole kind of an, you know, uh, statement.
Not a single person said, "Hey, I've got an idea.
Why don't we shoot people on Fifth Avenue because our leader thinks he can do it, so why don't we do it?
Let's go shoot some people on Fifth Avenue." No.
Not a single person in the whole world thought that.
That was a call to violence.
And listening to Jasmine Crockett, the stupidest person in the Democrat party, I do think she might be the dumbest person in the in the entire party.
Um but at least uh Charlemagne Deod who is the host of the Breakfast Club um he admitted on the show where Jasmine was that uh he has engaged in rhetoric um that could be determined as inciting violence against Trump.
He he said I think we all incite whether we think we do or not.
And what I mean by that is I've definitely called that regime fascist.
Um, and he said if you hear somebody call him Hitler, if there's somebody that thinks, "Oh, Hitler." And then they look at a lot of actions that are going on, they're like, "Well, let's prevent this before million people get killed." So, I can understand how it all incites violence.
Good for you.
I have to say I have uh, you know, continuous mixed feelings about Charlemagne, the god.
certainly agree with uh some of his takes and I appreciate that he's taking the the both obvious and the honest take that there is something about our language that probably causes some action we don't want and that a lot of people are involved and he's he's admitting that he is too so I don't know if he'll stop doing it he he came close to almost sort forgiving that kind of stuff because everybody does it.
He didn't say that, but it sort of bumped into that thought.
Let's see.
Uh I I've also noticed that the people who are most angry about Charlie Kirk have a belief that he was a completely different person.
Completely different person.
I've I've heard somebody raging about how he was racist against blacks.
Now, I don't know every single thing that Charlie Kirk ever said, but I would still be willing to bet a large amount of money that he's never, not even once, said something that anybody could construe as racist against blacks.
I'll bet nothing.
I'll bet not once.
How about even I'll bet he never even brushed against it.
It's completely opposite his Christian identity.
And he and he would be way too smart to do it accidentally.
He was way too good.
So now, where in the world does that even come from?
Where does that come from?
I mean, do people just make up and other people say, "Well, I've never heard him talk, but my friend Bob says he's this terrible person." So, this is again, you know, the two movies on one screen that I always talk about.
How in the world would they have that opinion about him?
I I'm completely baffled.
Well, Chris Cuomo um was uh criticizing Elon Musk and he said, quote, "I know there's power in playing the victim, but Elon Musk is the one saying that the left is the party of murder." So, that's what Elon said the other day.
The left is the party of murder.
and and and he he acts like that is pushing extremism.
To which I say, is he really saying that Elon Musk should stop complaining about the left trying to kill him?
Do you know how much security that guy needs?
Can you imagine the number of death threats that Elon Musk has gotten?
All from the left.
So when he says that the left is the party of murder, yeah, there's some hyperbole in that obviously, but to to to imagine that Elon Musk is the problem.
He's literally the the victim of all kinds of death threats and entirely from the left, I would guess.
You know, if if it's not 100%, it's probably 99%.
So, I think uh Chris Cuomo missed the mark on that complaint because the problem is not the person complaining about getting murdered.
That's not the problem.
Oh my god.
Yeah, Charlie Kirk got murdered, but the real problem is the people complaining about it.
What?
What?
The real problem is the complaining about the murder.
I think the real problem is the murder.
There's a uh it's reminding me of a Nor Mc.
Donald joke.
You've probably all heard it by now when he he talks about uh Bill Cosby.
He goes, "You know, some people say the worst part about the Bill Cosby situation is the hypocrisy." And then he pauses for a fact and goes, "I don't think it's the hypocrisy.
I think the worst problem is the rape.
And it feels like that.
It's like, no, the worst problem is not the complaining.
It's not the complaining.
It's the murder.
It's the murder.
Um, then here's another example.
The account media lies spotted this.
So, the Tennessee House Representative uh Justin Pearson, he was on MSNBC, uh just recently, and here are some of the things he said after Charlie Kirk's murder.
So, wouldn't you think people would tone it down after he gets murdered?
Well, some of the things he said was Trump's an authoritarian dictator.
the the cities that he's sending the National Guard into will be quote occupied by the military.
Yeah, he's a white supremacist.
Um he called federal assistance for law enforcement terrorism.
We have to fight back against it.
These are not benign acts and black people are being used as pawns.
Now, does that sound like somebody who's trying to get a solution to any problems?
No.
that that is not somebody who's trying to solve a problem.
I don't know what that is, but it's not a problem solver.
And when asked about what the problem is, um, Representative Pearson said that uh instead of more policing, what they need is uh things to battle poverty, resources basically to battle poverty.
Because if you battled poverty and you improved the schools, you would have less violence.
Well, he's a stupid idiot because if you don't solve crime, you don't get any of that other stuff there.
There's there's no such thing as far as I know.
I've never heard of any high crime area that solve their crime by uh helping the poor.
Have you?
I've never heard of that.
As far as I know, that's a completely impossible thing.
However, I have heard of cities such as New York City under Giuliani where they they beat back the crime and then the economy prospered and presumably people did better in general.
So, there are examples where battling crime first can get you to a place where you have at least the opportunity to work on whatever you think are the other problems.
But if you don't do crime first, you're not going to have a a base of business.
You're not going to have a tax base.
You won't have money to, you know, improve your schools from the tax base.
Um, this guy's an idiot.
This is not a difference of opinion.
This is a idiot.
And he's elected.
He's in charge.
All right.
Um, and I guess on MSNBC, Peter Baker, he said that the people who were calling the left radical and lunatics are the ones ratcheting up the political rhetoric.
Yeah.
Um, do you think any Republicans are going to get a gun and murder somebody because they've heard the words radical and lunatic?
Do you think that's likely?
Where where do these people come from?
They have the worst takes.
Well, Bill Maher was on Friday night, his normal show, and he had some things to say.
He uh he did helpfully tell his audience, and they got really quiet, that Trump is not Hitler, you He He was very forceful about Trump is not Hitler.
So, you're not really helping yourself if that's where you're going with your narrative.
Um, and then he then he said, uh, I'm paraphrasing that a little bit, but but he said directly, Trump is not Hitler.
So, thank you for that.
That helps a lot.
Um, and he said that the people who mocked Charlie Kirk's death or tried to justify it, he says, "I think you're gross.
I have no use for you." So, that was the right take.
agree with that.
So, I think he's on the the right side of this.
He's a free speech guy, so that makes sense.
Um, but I wonder I I didn't hear him acknowledge like Charlemagne the God did that he might have been part of the problem.
Did Bill Maher ever accuse Trump of being a fascist or trying to steal democracy?
Because I think he might have.
I think he might have.
Uh, but I'd rather I'd rather be happy that he said Trump is not Hiller and happy that uh um he he he's not happy with the people who celebrated it.
So, that's something.
But I feel like I feel like he needs to kind of come clean that he may have used some of the words.
I mean, he's not to blame.
Yeah.
I'm not going to say he's to blame, but collectively, don't they think they don't you think they all knew the risk?
You know, you've heard the phrase stocatic stic um terrorism.
The idea that you just use words to condemn somebody to the point where somebody says, "Man, I'm going to have to take care of this." And they they get violent.
So, it feels like the Democrats knew on some level that they were putting Republicans in mortal danger, but they were okay with it because they wouldn't personally be blamed.
Oh, I'm just one person who said a few words.
You know, if there were hundreds and hundreds of people on TV saying a few words, well, you can't put me in jail for that.
So, David Axelrod, famed uh Democrat consultant sort of guy, he torched the Democrats over a few uh what he calls the mistakes.
He said it was insane to spend three years before he did something serious about the border.
Insane.
And then he also said it was wrong not to be much more active in trying to reopen schools.
All right.
Um, does it uh does it strike you as odd that these two problems that every Republican understood were gigantic problems that the Democrats had to wait uh what a year after they were out of office to even admit that?
Oh yeah, this was like insane.
Just insane.
Did he not know that at the time?
I I think he did.
I think he did know that was insane, at least the border part.
Um, and then Axel Rod is complaining about the Republicans who may have used the word war recently, as in uh, you know, we're in a war with the other side.
And he said, the words have specific meaning.
When you say you're in a war, it's an invitation for people to commit acts of violence.
And it didn't take long for social media and western lensmen caught this on X.
Um there's a clip of Chris Murphy, prominent Democrat, who was saying, you know, I think the day before Charlie Kirk was killed, he said, "We're in a war to save the country.
You have to be willing to do whatever is necessary." Now if you say the context is a war and then you say you have to do whatever is necessary that does allow killing that would be whatever is necessary to some people not to me obviously um so Axelrod um I would sort of partially agree that war is a it's a fighting word but when I see uh when I see Republicans talk that Okay.
Um, I know that they don't mean it literally, but when Democrats talk about Trump being a, you know, the next authoritarian Hitler, they mean it literally.
Yeah.
I mean, not that he's going to have a little mustache and change his name to Hitler, but that he would act like that.
I believe they mean that literally.
I I've never heard any I've never heard any Republican who would believe that we're in a literal war as opposed to a political one.
Anyway, Trump has ordered the uh State Department to expand their screening to uh disallow people who are trying to get into the country on visas uh to disallow them if they've said bad things um about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
And I guess they're using AI to search for things that they might have said.
Now, I'm happy about that.
Yeah, I I feel like uh you don't get to come in the front door and and be our guest.
Uh unless you're saying good things, at least on day one.
I mean, you know, you shouldn't have a history of criticizing the country and then trying to get into it.
So, I'm all right with that.
I don't know if that will pass any legal muster, but I'm definitely okay with it.
Well, Andrew Tate, who sometimes has gone quiet, but now he's re-emerging.
He was on Pierce Morgan Uncensored, and uh he says one of the problems, the big problems in the country is uh uh women voting.
And he says, "Who votes for liberalism?
Who votes for soft on crime?
Who votes for open borders?
Who votes for DEI by and large?
Male or female?
Which sexes?
female.
So he he says, "Why was this woman, you know, the Ukrainian woman who got stabbed on the light rail train?" He says, "Why is this woman going to work and riding the tram uh alone at night instead of thinking this is dangerous?" She believed that she can go and fend for herself.
Bad things happen when we ignore reality.
Society was built by evil, misogynistic men.
I love the honesty of that.
And then these feminists came along and destroyed it all.
I believe in protecting women because I don't believe they can fight.
And he says, "If that makes me a misogynist, so be it." Well, now, of course, Andrew Tate uh is brilliant at being the most provocative on whatever the topic is.
So, this again is is more of that.
He's very good at this communication thing, if you haven't noticed.
Um but I'll I'll give you my take.
I also believe that uh women are did not evolve for defense protection defense to be their top priority sort of biologically designed to to do it.
Men did you know men are designed for violence.
We're designed to protect what we love and kill what we don't and kill what we need to eat.
And so I just ask you this, male or female, let's say you've got a date, one of you is male, one of you is female.
You go into a restaurant.
Which one of you knows where the exits are?
Which one of you plans just automatically, reflexively what would happen if a if an armed person came in and shooting in the restaurant?
Like what would be the first thing you do?
Men do that.
We are designed, we're trained from birth, I think, uh to be defenseoriented.
So if you're talking about uh what should we do about the border of the country, you don't want women involved in that.
If you do, you're going to get an open border because women are trained, designed, evolved to put empathy first.
Now, before you call me a misogynist, uh, let me be clear.
I do think that a woman could be, you know, the president and the best protector of the border.
You remember Hillary was pretty hard ass about the border before, you know, before she lied and said she wasn't.
Um, so yeah, you could get Margaret Thatcher.
Um, you know, I I could probably name half a dozen women um who who would be, you know, perfectly strong on all the things, strong on crime, strong on the border.
So, it's not about individuals, right?
It's about averages.
And the average applies to voting, but it doesn't apply to any one person who wanted to be extraordinary at one job.
So any job is fine if they, you know, if they're qualified for the job.
But as soon as you go with averages, it's like, all right, everybody vote, men and women, everybody vote.
you're gonna get the male vote, which would protect you from violence, watered down by the average of women are like, "Oh, we don't want to treat people badly.
Let them in." So, I won't go as far as Andrew Tate did, but I will say uh and obviously there's there's not really a practical way that that uh women would lose the vote.
I I don't think that's serious.
But he makes the point that if you're looking for the source of the problem, that's it.
That's it.
I'm pretty sure that if only men voted, we would have a very different looking world.
You know, maybe in some ways it'd be worse, but in in ways that uh matter a lot to us, I'm pretty sure it would be better.
You know, we we never would have opened the border, for example.
That never would have happened, I don't think.
Well, Comcast um who owns MSNBC issued a public apology.
Uh you already know the story.
One of their one of their commentators got fired for um kind of suggesting that maybe Charlie Kirk's narrative got him killed.
And you know, they say they'll do better, etc.
But I don't know.
I don't know if their apology means anything because then they put the same bunch of lying idiots on the air to make the same claims that uh Trump's the one to blame for the uh the violence.
They all need to be fired if you're going to be taken seriously.
And if you're not going to be if you're not going to fire the liars and the morons uh who are making everything worse and they're basically triggering killers in my opinion.
Uh if you're not going to do something real about that, don't give us your little press release about that what guy you didn't care about anyway who didn't have his own show.
They didn't care about him.
They might have even wanted to get rid of him.
Maybe he wasn't that good anyway.
So they lost nothing and they just went right back to saying things that'll get Republicans killed.
So no respect whatsoever for MSNBC or their management.
All right.
Um I guess the House Oversight Committee, James Comr's committee has uh requested Epstein's financial records from the Treasury.
It looks like they'll get them.
To which I say, really?
We're we're just now going to look at his financial records.
Has anybody looked at him?
Have his financial records been thoroughly examined by some police entity in pri prior cases, you know, prior situation.
um or would the uh Treasury Department have to start from scratch and say, "Ah, nobody nobody's looked into this, but you know, we'll we'll spend a month trying to put it together." Um well, maybe we'll find out everything because or maybe we don't we won't because allegedly Epstein was an expert at laundering money.
So, if we see all the official and legal ways that he moved money around, it might not tell us anything, but I'd love to see the dollar amounts, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you like to see if suddenly, I don't know, $50 million came into his account one day and there's no explanation for it?
I don't know.
And I don't know how much of his money would have been, let's say, in Swiss accounts or something like that.
I don't know if we can penetrate them these days.
So, we might not find out anything.
Well, did you know that one of the ways to get rid of all those microlastics from the water?
Um, scientists found out that you could put uh extracts from okra and fenugreek, some kind of plant-based thing, um, and tamarind.
And what it does is it sticks the plastic and makes it heavy enough to sink to the bottom.
So they can get rid of 90% of microplastics just by putting these natural goo they call it into the water.
Now, this is one of uh several scientific breakthroughs I've told you about recently that all deal with microplastics.
And I think microplastics will be another one of those Adam's law of slowmoving disaster situations where it looked like uh are we going to all die from eating plastic because it's in everything and we can't get it out?
Well, it looks like we had enough time for the smart people to figure out some solutions.
They don't have the solutions yet, but they're definitely knocking on the door with a number of different technologies.
Well, as you know, Trump said he's going to deploy the National Guard to Memphis next um because they have a very high crime.
I think they're the highest crime in the country.
They have a Democrat mayor, but the Democrat mayor has uh allowed them to come in, but he's trying to have it both ways.
He he he's trying to basically criticize Trump while while accepting his help.
So, he's really he's really walking a fine line here.
Um what did he say?
Uh he said uh there are a lot of citizens in our community that are scared uh said Mayor Young about the National Guard coming in and he says he doesn't think sending troops will bring down crime but he welcomes the help.
What an idiot there.
There are so many Democrats who you can't even say well you know I have a slightly different opinion.
That's not about opinion.
This is just a idiot.
I mean, it's hard to it's hard to say anything except, "Oh, oh, oh, you're an idiot." Oh, okay.
That's all we need to know.
There's no point in discussing because you're not going to change the mind of an idiot.
But he thinks that sending the truth will not bring down crime.
After he watched Washington DC, he thinks it won't bring down crime.
Well, at least temporarily it will.
I don't know what happens in the long run.
Um he says these citizens are scared really they're going to be scared of the National Guard who won't be arresting anybody.
They'll just be sort of a resource and you know being a a presence and they're more they're more afraid of the people who are stopping crime than the crime.
So, you'd rather take your chance with a murderer than a National Guard member?
Is that what your citizens would prefer?
You idiot.
You just You absolute idiot.
Now, I've said this before, but I think all local uh governments are criminal organizations.
I think they're all just finding ways to move money around.
By the way, when the founders of the country designed our form of government, there wasn't that much money moving around, was there?
If you were a mayor, it wasn't like, oh, we've got these giant contracts for, you know, building the new thing.
We're building the new town center.
We're building, I don't know, fixing the highways in town or whatever we're doing.
If you didn't have a ton of money flowing through the city, well, maybe maybe the people you elect would just do the job of taking care of the city.
But the moment the the dollar amounts go through the roof, which would be the current situation, you know, anything you did in a city would be ridiculously expensive, and then you let those same politicians decide where the where the money goes, you know, which vendors do the work.
you are guaranteed guaranteed to create a criminal organization around siphoning off some of that money just because there's so much of it.
So I would argue that the founders who brilliantly created a great system and constitution that if they had known how much money was going to be flowing through the cities eventually they would not have designed it the way they did.
there's a part missing the the audit, you know.
Now, obviously anything can be audited if people want to, but it needs to be a permanent part of the system.
You've got to have something where the auditors change out often so they don't get corrupted or owned by the, you know, the people they're trying to audit.
Um, and I don't know exactly what the system would be, but there needs to be gigantic transparency about where every dollar goes and we should all be able to easily look at it and we should look at, oh, it went to this vendor.
Does this vendor have any connection, family or best friends or anything with the people who made the decision?
Well, then you could maybe drive crime out of and governments.
But at the moment, I just assume that any mayor of a big city is a criminal.
How many of you assume that?
I assume that every mayor of every big city is a criminal and that maybe that's what attracts him to the job.
I don't know.
There might be some exceptions, but my but my assumption every time I see one is like, why would you even have that job?
Who would want that job?
Who would have so much skill that they could be a mayor and that that was their best career opportunity?
Criminals.
Criminals.
Uh so I believe it ends up being all criminals in local government.
Anyway, so we'll see what happens in Memphis.
True.
Um, so if you're wondering, 63% of Memphis is black.
43% in Washington DC is black.
Now, the mayor said that the the base problem is poverty.
Um, and as I've explained, you can't work on the poverty until you work on the crime.
Um, so there you go.
So, uh, Elon Musk and JD Vance are agreeing with each other on on acts that, uh, you could do a lot about crime if you just put in jail forever the few people who commit all the crimes.
Now, you're probably aware that they're just individuals who can do hundreds of crimes and even be caught hundreds of times and released to do hundreds of more.
So if you don't put them in jail forever, your crime rate probably never goes down because they don't stop doing crimes and they're not going anywhere.
So if you don't lock them up forever, there's no really hope of crime ever going down.
It's it would be impossible.
Uh but if you lock up the most dangerous people who are doing probably I don't know what the ratio is but 80% of the crime probably maybe 5% of the criminals are doing 80% of the crime and we know who they are because we keep catching them.
It's not like they're even hard to catch.
They've been caught maybe dozens of times already but they're just let go.
So JD and Elon agree on that and I feel like that would be a way better approach than the National Guard.
The National Guard is not a bad idea.
It brings attention to things and maybe calms things down temporarily, but doesn't seem like a permanent.
I don't think it's a permanent fix.
But jailing the people who do all the crimes, that would be permanent.
Now, if you wanted to get clever and say, "Hey, it's too evil to put people in jail for life because they uh let's say they shoplifted three times in a row or something like that." I don't know if that would be enough to be life in prison.
But I feel like some people just need to be, you know, sent to the island where they can live with the other crooks and they're just not near people who are not crooks and maybe keep them there forever.
But it doesn't have to be in a jail cell.
You know, you can let them just wander around and eat cheap food and grow their own or, you know, they could survive.
It's just you just can't let them with other people.
All right.
Get the f away from those prisoners, from the uh from the criminals, I say.
Um, Missouri passed a uh Trump approved redistricting plan which would give them one more Republican House seat probably the AP's reporting.
So that's pick up a one and uh remember the House is really close so one C could be the difference between a majority and not having majority for the Republicans.
Well, we know now that John Bolton's personal email account, he was using a nonsecure personal email for some stuff he's being accused of, uh, was hacked by a foreign entity.
New York Post is reporting.
Now, I don't know what foreign entity it was that's not being reported.
Um, but how do you feel knowing that he was using his personal email for some things that may have been classified?
At least that's an allegation.
And uh that foreign entities had hacked it.
Well, that's bad.
That's bad.
Um, Trump is calling for a 50 to 100% tariff on uh, China by NATO countries.
So, he's not talking about just the US.
He's talking about NATO countries.
Apparently, the NATO countries are still buying a lot of oil.
I don't know which ones are buying the most, but so NATO is fighting a war or supporting Ukraine, fighting a war against Russia while funding the war for Russia by buying their oil.
Now, I don't know what options they have.
Could it be that there's just not physically enough oil that you can get there to replace it or it's way too expensive?
But even expensive doesn't expensive doesn't seem to be a good enough reason, you know, in a war scenario.
Anyway, so Trump says that NATO's commitment to win has been less than 100%.
Now, I don't know if he's going to get away with this, but he wants to go major sanctions on Russia and major sanctions on China for buying oil from Russia.
Do you think that'll pan out?
Do you think first of all he'll get these uh tariffs that the European Union will do it?
And then secondly, do you think it would work?
You know, do you think it would make any difference?
Because anything short of crashing Russia's economy isn't going to work.
And even that is fraught with danger.
So, but it does look like Trump is serious about taking down the Russian economy.
Well, Manny, the the kami, who is running for mayor and probably will get elected in New York City, um he vowed to arrest Netanyahu um if he ever got a chance, if he ever came to the city.
Now, the reason he would arrest him is that what is it?
the uh international criminal court which the America is not a party to so we're not bound by it but it it issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu I think they're alleging him war crimes against humanity in Gaza and uh mom Donnie says he would push to get him arrested now it doesn't look like that's within the power of a mayor so I don't know what he would do to get him arrested I know encourage the police to do it.
He couldn't order them to do it.
He wouldn't have the authority.
But I don't know.
But he's making that promise.
Now, does that seem like a good idea to you?
Well, um, apparently his pro Palestinian stance drove 62% of the primary voters to the the polls.
So, Mammi has a very big anti-Israel support base.
But I'll tell you, if you had told me that New York City would be electing a mayor who seems somewhat obviously anti-Israel, I would have said, "No, no, that can't happen." Has anybody told you the size of the Jewish um citizens of New York City?
I mean, there's so many of them that there's no way you can elect some anti-Semitic guy.
Well, I guess I was not aware how many pro Palestinians there are in New York City because it looks like it looks like that's going to happen.
Now, I would not have predicted that in a million years.
Anyway, um but it'll be a good test of Israel's influence.
You know how uh there are many Americans who say Israel really runs the United States when it comes to Israel and Middle East policy.
Not not everything but uh when it comes to what we do in the Middle East and wars and stuff like that uh in the Middle East uh people say Israel is controlling our government and there's you know a reasonable argument for that.
Apac is very successful and uh blah blah blah.
Um but it but this will be a good test.
If Mamami can get elected in New York City, you're going to have to wonder just how powerful is the Israeli lobby in the United States because I feel as if you know Israel would want to try as hard as possible to influence events so that that guy didn't get elected.
But what happens if they don't have any impact?
Would you be willing to reassess your belief that Israel is controlling the government of the United States?
Because there's no way they'd be in favor of that.
Mom dami getting elected.
And so keep an eye on that.
You know, anything could happen.
Well, according to interesting engineering, there's a uh new, or at least I never heard of it, method for storing energy where they freeze air so cold that it turns liquid and it's much smaller.
Um, takes up much less room when it becomes liquid and then they store it overnight.
So, they they cool the air when the electricity is plentiful and cheap.
And then when they need to release it, they've got some kind of device where when they warm it up a little bit, the the super frozen air which had become liquid changes from liquid to air again and then it expands greatly and the expansion drives some turbines and it drives a generator.
So apparently uh Korea says they're South Korea says they're close to being able to build that.
They've got a prototype All right.
Um, I guess there are other countries they're they're pursuing it, too.
So, that's all I had for you today.
Remember that Owen Gregorian will be running his spaces event right after I'm done.
I'm going to say a few words privately to the local subscribers and then uh Owen will be firing up his spaces event on X if you want to follow up on anything that we said today.
All right.
Um, locals, I'm going to come at you privately in 30 seconds.
The rest of you, thanks for joining.
I appreciate it.
I hope you come back tomorrow.
We'll do it again.
Come on in. It's time for your favorite
thing.
Yeah, it is.
There are some empty chairs up front.
Grab a seat. Make sure you've got a
delicious beverage.
And uh get a cat in your lap if you have
it. If you have the option,
it's always better with a cat on your
lap.
[Music]
Good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
He 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 her tiny shiny
human brains. All you need for that is a
cup mug or a glass of tanker cher ste a
canteen jugger 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 hit of
the day. The thing that makes everything
better. It's called the simultaneous
sip. And it happens now. Go.
All right,
people. Well, apparently Tommy Robinson
has uh a gajillion people protesting in
central London, I think it is. And it
turns out a lot of those people are
carrying American flags and chanting
about Charlie Kirk in London. Do you
believe that the the uh the Brits maybe
got a little bit more energy for
protesting because of Charlie Kirk's
tragic situation?
I'll bet yes. I'll bet yes. And you you
might see a global effect to the
assassination.
This might be the first indication that
we cannot calculate how big this is.
Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself
because it's not that big yet,
but the potential size of this is is
hard to estimate, but if you look at the
the crowds, look at the crowd pictures.
That's a lot of people, and they all
have flags, some of them American.
Well, after this show, as is our
tradition for Saturday, um Owen
Gregorian will be hosting a spaces
event. That's the audio only event on X.
So, go to X after the show and just
search for Owen Gregorian and you'll
find the link.
Um I wonder if there's any science that
didn't have to happen because they could
have just asked me. Oh, here's some.
According to the conversation, that's a
publication. Uh, cats
give you oxytocin.
So, that's a brain chemistry that makes
you feel good, makes you feel loved. So,
it's true. We don't get it just from
being close to other humans. We also get
oxytocin
from animals. And I think they had
already tested dogs and that gave you
oxytocin, but cats do too. Uh, I will
tell you that that was the primary
reason I got my two cats. I got them for
oxytocin. Like literally, I said to
myself, um, I'm at a certain age and a
certain health situation where the odds
of me even touching other people
are going way down. you know, I'm lucky
if I can get, you know, a handshake once
a week. I have, you know, it's just
natural when you're when you're not in a
place where you could get into a
relationship and you're not in one.
Um, there's really a shortage of
oxytocin and I think that can make you
crazy. I believe that if you have no
oxytocin
and that might be some of the problem
with these shooters as well. If they
don't have access to touch, they don't
get calmed down and they don't find any
sense of peace just being in their own
body and in their own life and they're
looking for something big to give them a
dopamine or some kind of thrill. So get
yourself a cat and your dopamine. Well,
I don't know about dopamine, but
oxytocin will be way better. Hey, I
wonder
if I can find a cat. All right, I think
I'll do the rest of the show with a cat
on my cheek.
Oxytocin.
I'm getting all your oxytocin. Stealing
it. I'm taking it. Yeah, give it up,
Gary. All right.
I'll need another hit later, so come on
back later. Okay.
All right. Well, they didn't really need
to study that. They could have just
asked me, "Scott, do you think your cat
will give you oxytocin?" And I would
have said, "Hell yeah, you don't have to
study that."
Well, uh, scientists have, uh, they
claim reversed aging in monkeys. They
found a way to reverse aging. And I'm
going to tell you exactly how. But uh it
was a certain kind of monkey called a
macak. Macak.
That's the name of the monkey. Mak.
So I was interested in making Mak
younger.
So if you want to talk about macak, this
would be the place to do it. They're
monkeys. Damn it. You You're disgusting.
Oh man, you can make anything sound
dirty. They're monkeys, people. They're
monkeys. Clean up your mind.
All right, you're probably wondering,
how in the world do they reverse aging,
but I'm going to explain it to you. Now,
pay attention. I'm going to, you know, I
have a a gift for summarizing and
simplifying. So, I'm going to take this
complicated thing and try to give it to
you in the simplest terms. And if you
don't understand this, well, I'm pretty
sure the problem's on your end cuz I'm
going to explain this so clearly. All
right. So, mechanistically, the SRC
derived exoomes, they reduce the
cellular scinessence markers, and I'm
talking about the P21cip, PI1, and the
YH2 AAX obviously inflammation um from
your ILB, your TNFA, your IL6, and your
oxidative stress. All right, you
following me? While enhancing
heterocchromatin stability uh and immune
function. So this suppresses the the
seagass sting inflammatory pathways and
promotes systemic rejuvenation.
Everybody got that? See it was kind of
easy. You just have to relax and listen
and it all makes sense.
All right. So, you already know that
Apple introduced uh the new feature in
their earbuds, their little earpieces
that will translate, but I didn't
realize how good it is. Apparently, it's
live translation
um without a delay. I mean, there's got
to be some delay, but it's almost no
delay. But also, it's so good that both
people can be talking over each other
and it will still translate the other
person. That's pretty that that is
impressive because in the real world
people talk over each other and there's
lots of other noise still works. So
imagine if you will this becomes more of
a normal thing. Can you imagine
traveling to places that you would have
never traveled before
uh but being able to understand
everybody? Oh the problem is if you meet
some villager in a remote place they're
not going to have the translator. So you
would understand them, but they would
have no idea what you're saying. Uh
maybe you could use another app for
that. But as I've said before, I have a
hypothesis that the reason that the US,
Russia, and China are sort of these
friendnemy rivals, you know, maybe more
rivals than friendmy. I feel like it
might be because of language.
I'm not, you know, I'm not positive. I
wouldn't bet my life on it. But doesn't
it seem to you that whenever we're
dealing with a country that speaks
perfect English, even if it's not a, you
know, normally an English-speaking
country, that whenever the leader is
gifted in English, we get along with
them. Is that true? I mean, it feels
like that's mostly true, right? So I
just have this feeling that if the
leaders can talk in the same language
comfortably that everything works out
differently. It just it just feels like
that's true. You would you wouldn't
imagine that because you think it's no
no it's not the way they talk. Scott,
you know they have translators. It's
really these big issues. You know the
issues are the reason that we don't get
get along. To which I say I challenge
that assumption.
I don't think that's how brains are
organized. I pe I think people when they
can talk to people comfortably
they just say well I'm not going to nuke
my friend Don.
I don't I don't want to nuke my friend.
But if the only contact you have is
through an interpreter.
I feel like that's like a little wall
that allows you to say all right I'm
over here. My enemy is over there on the
other side of that invisible wall.
Language is pretty important. This might
change everything.
Well, RS Technica is reporting Benj
Edwards that uh there was an education
report that was being put together by
the Canadian government. So, they uh
they authorized it. It took them 18
months to put together a report on the
ethical uses of AI.
It's important that the report was about
the ethical uses of AI. And now the
humorous irony. Apparently the report
included a number of uh fake fake
sources because the AI lied to them
and they believed it and they wrote down
all the fake sources.
And it took them 18 months. It take it
took him 18 months to create a report
with fake sources
that AI probably wrote. They probably
had AI write a report about the dangers
of AI if you if you use it unethically,
I guess. All right, good job, guys.
I saw a post by an ex user, Justine
Moore, who I believe is a
high-end investor, and uh she said, "The
best X accounts are run by people who
are who are at some level unemployable.
You have to be posting takes that
disqualify you from a decent chunk of
jobs in your industry in order to have a
good ex account. Well, I would agree
with that. Um,
if I could just speak personally, I'm
really sure that if I had a regular day
job with a regular boss that I wouldn't
say
75% of the things I say online. there's
no way I would say the things honestly
that I say now. Um, and still
uh even though I didn't have a boss per
se, I got cancelled worldwide
for for one of my opinions or at least
the way I stated it wasn't even because
of the opinion. Nobody disagreed with my
opinion, but I got cancelled anyway.
Well, President Trump has uh indicated
that he's looking into going after
George Soros, figuring out how his money
is flowing through and possibly getting
to violent protests and other bad
distortions in our country. And he
thinks that there might be a RICO case
because Soros would be part of a larger
organized group of people doing things
that potentially could be illegal. don't
know exactly what would be in that
category of illegal, but uh Trump does.
And he does include the younger Zoros.
So he's not just saying George, he's,
you know, saying the Alexander as well.
And my question is, and I'm sure Mike
Cernovich would be asking the same
question, why only one billionaire? It
it it seems obvious to me that there are
about something like half a dozen
billionaires who are running the show
because you know money drives
everything. Why would you only look into
one of them?
It it feels like whatever they're doing,
they're all doing it. It seems like
they're playing the same game. So, I
would say you want to maybe expand that
a little bit. Find out where the money's
coming from. Uh because it all it all
looks dirty and unethical to me.
We'll talk about the Charlie Kirk
situation, of course.
Um,
so, uh, apparently Republicans, some
Republicans, dozens of them, are trying
to get congressional leaders to
investigate what they call a sustained
breakdown of law and order by
anti-American ideology
across the country. Just News is
reporting on this. So, Chip Roy is
organizing this, I think. And uh so
they've signed an open letter calling
for the house leaders to form some
committee to look into it because of the
numerous attacks. But they also so this
is related to the story about RICO and
Soros. But they also say they want to
follow the money and uncover the force
behind the NOS's donors media public
officials and all entities driving what
they call a coordinated attack. Now the
real question will be the degree of
coordination
because uh was it uh uh who is the uh
seven words you can't um George Carlin
George Carlin used to explain that you
don't need to be you don't have to have
a meeting with you know notes and
everybody says out loud oh I agree with
you if everybody knows what to do.
So the Democrat world is one of these
everybody knows what to do. You don't
have to have a meeting. Do you think the
hosts of MSNBC
have to be instructed to call Trump a
fascist? No. They just look what other
people do and they say, "All right,
that's what we're doing. I guess we're
just, you know, maybe we'll be worse
than the others or better, but basically
we're all doing what the others are
doing." So you only need to sort of
create the narrative and then everybody
else just snaps to grid um and
automatically conforms. You don't really
need to coordinate.
I feel another source of oxytocin
coming. Hey, look who it is. It's Roman
the cat coming to join his brother.
All right, we will move on.
So, the the alleged shooter of um
Charlie Kirk, his name is Tyler
Robinson. He's a high school student.
Not no I'm sorry. He's not a high school
student. He's 22. But when he was in
high school, he had a 40 average and he
even had a scholarship to college, but
he I guess he didn't last long in
college. So, he's living at home. And
probably you're wondering, how could
somebody with a 4.0 no average
be so stupid and so hypnotized
um to do what he did. And I can tell you
one thing that's really useful to go
through life with intelligence does not
protect you from influence.
It just doesn't. You You're sure that it
should, right? You're positive that it
should. Yeah. He dropped out of college.
Um, you're sure that he you're sure that
the smarter you are, the more
invulnerable you'll be to influence, but
just look around there. There are people
who are literally geniuses who are on
completely opposite sides of things. How
is that possible? If if intelligence
uh got you to the right answer more
often, wouldn't all the intelligent
people be on the same side? But they're
not. I mean, even even if you looked at
the geniuses that were part of the
PayPal original team, you know, the Elon
Musk, the David Sachs, Reed Hoffman,
you've got Reed Hoffman on the, you
know, far left and funding things, and
you've got Elon and Saxs on the right.
They're all geniuses,
but they're, you know, they're they're
not immune from being influenced by
something in the environment like that.
There's just no protection whatsoever.
That's that's my official uh word as a
trained hypnotist because hypnotists
learn that the smarter you are, the
easier it is to hypnotize you. Let me
say that again. Hypnotists learn in
school. We're actually taught that that
the smarter and more confident the
subject is, the easier it is to
hypnotize them.
don't know why, you know, I I can
speculate because there I don't know. I
I don't I wouldn't even speculate,
but it's a known it's a known
phenomenon. It's it's well enough known
that um it's actually taught taught in
school. All right,
what else we got here?
Um,
so the as far as we know, but I think
it's still a little fog of war, the uh
the perpetrator, the shooter was a
far-left kind of guy. You might be
seeing online some rumors that I think
are unsubstantiated
that he was actually further right
um than Charlie Kirk. Um, I believe
that's all unsubstantiated stuff, but
there's enough to it that I would say
you better wait and find out more about
this guy cuz it's not impossible. You
know, just almost anything that you're
sure you know about this story might be
wrong. you know, we're we're at that
point in the story where really there
could be really basic fundamental things
that we find out are just not true. So,
uh, as far as we can tell, he was a
far-left guy, but, uh, maybe not. We'll
see.
All right. Um, one of his friends from
high school says, you know, he's
definitely far left. And to me, that's
pretty convincing. I I feel like if if
his good high school friend said, "Oh,
yeah, he's he's way left." That's
probably dependable. That that seems
like a reasonably
strong statement. It's it's unlikely
that he went from high school far left
to a few years later far right. You
know, that doesn't seem likely.
All right. So, as you know, we're in
sort of a contest to blame whatever you
think is the other side. So, of course,
conservatives are blaming the left for
the um all the the dangerous talk that
looks like it may have encouraged people
to get violent. And of course, the left
the the left is arguing that Trump's
rhetoric is the the root cause.
Unbelievable.
Yeah. You know,
uh we always joke about the uh the
Democrats projecting like like if they
murder you, they will accuse you of
murder as they're stabbing you, right?
How many times have we seen that
example? as they're stabbing you. Stop
murdering me. Stop it. You're murdering
me. Stop it. And
you know, we're I'm just in a different
movie, so all I see is them murdering
us. Uh but they're apparently I don't
know if they believe their own movie.
What do you think? Do you think the
hosts of MMS NBC believe
that Trump is really the root cause here
and that they're not? and that they
believe they're not. Do you believe they
believe that?
It's possible because of a cognitive
dissonance. So, cognitive dissonance um
won't allow you to form an opinion of
yourself that's too negative if you're
if you have a healthy ego, if you're not
mentally ill.
So if you're perfectly normal, your
brain is working the way it should, it
will malfunction when you're presented
with a situation where uh you have
obviously done something stupid or evil
and you don't think you're stupid and
you don't think you're evil. That's what
triggers cognitive dissonance. When
there's a there's a disconnect between
what you're doing or experiencing and
what you believe to be true. And then
your brain spontaneously comes up with a
story that usually sounds ridiculous to
observers.
So here's the test. Did the MSNBo NBC
hosts are they experiencing the
situation in which there's strong
indication that they are the bad guys?
What do you think? H have they created
are they in a situation where it's
becoming somewhat obvious that they're
the bad guys and that they might be
stupid and they might be evil. Would you
agree that that's
sort of becoming obvious now? What would
smart people with normal brains, no, you
don't need any mental illness, just a
normal brain, what would they do in that
situation? Well, they would hallucinate
that the real problem is something else
so that they're off the hook. And so
they and they they snapped the grid on
uh on Trump. It's like uh why do you
have a bunion on your toe? Trump. Trump.
Why does it look like it's going to rain
today? Trump.
So you've got this little Trump reflex
that they've developed because
everything's Trump's fault.
But the tell the way you can tell it's
cognitive dissonance as opposed to just
a different opinion is that the people
who are not experiencing the cognitive
dissonance look at it and they say um
are you drunk or I mean are you are you
in mushrooms or something? because your
opinion is so disconnected from any kind
of reality that surely you can tell
that you're completely on the wrong
page, but they act like they can't. And
that's cognitive dissonance. They're
they're probably not acting. They're
probably actually having an experience
in which their brain has calculated
somehow that they're innocent. So here's
the test. When they say that the reason
that that guy killed Charlie Kirk is
because of Trump's um rhetoric, does
that sound well? Maybe that could be
true. Is that how you think of it? And
even if his rhetoric is what caused
people to get worked up, what rhetoric
is that? Is it where he said, "I'm going
to protect you people in the United
States by sealing the border." Is that
the part? How about the part where he
said, "I'm going to reduce crime for all
you poor people, especially poor black
people living in DC and now Memphis." Is
that the part?
You know, what was the dangerous
rhetoric?
So, anyway, yeah, cognitive dissonance.
So,
and then of course we're all trying to
uh keep score and and we're the people
on the right are positive that the
political violence is almost but not
completely limited to the left, right?
How how many of you believe that to be
true? That the political violence is
largely not 100% but largely on the
left.
Well, I'm not even sure yet because
these stories are all a little uh you
know, the various stories all have a
little uh wrinkle to them. For example,
the guy who tried to kill Governor
Shapiro in Pennsylvania, he tried to
burn his house down and u probably
wanted to kill his family. That was
somebody who was mad about him being
pro-Israel or anti-Israel
being maybe too pro-Israel. Was that it?
But it was something about Israel. So it
wasn't even about left or right, you
know, because the left and the right are
kind of mixed on Israel. It wasn't even
that. So how do you score that one? Is
that the left or the right when it
really was a specific issue?
What about the guy who dressed as a
police officer and killed or shot two
different families, right? Uh that were
both in politics. So, it was a husband
and a wife and um but that was over I
think that was over a specific issue,
wasn't it? Was it over abortion or
something? But I'm not sure. Do you
count the ones where somebody is mad at
a specific issue like Israel or like
Ukraine or like abortion? Is that the
same as saying it's a leftist or is that
just somebody who's got this real, you
know, real issue with this one issue? I
don't know. But, uh, it feels like
the violence is coming from the left. I
don't I don't know if the people on the
right feel like it's coming from the
right. They might. They have different
news, so maybe they think that. I don't
know. But we we don't really have a if
if anybody's done it yet, I'd like to
see it, but a really good accounting of,
you know, how much of this is from the
left versus the right. It it seems to
me, and let let me ask you this
question. I asked I asked my locals
subscribers earlier, but I'm going to
put it out to the rest of you. Who is
the first person
um in sort of the political talking head
world? Who's the first person you ever
heard say if the Democrats keep talking
about Hitler and fascists that it's
going to turn violent? Who's the first
person who told you that's going to
happen?
Might have been me. It might have been
me. And that would be informed my my
background in hypnosis.
If if the words
um start to converge in a certain way,
the words cause action. You know, words
words are thoughts
and thoughts become action. So,
um and then, uh Greg Guffeld
was saying it on the five and on his
show, Guffeld and he he has the bigger
platform. So, I he's the one who made it
a common thought.
But now it's the only thing we're
arguing about. It's the the number one
issue in the country is that that
rhetoric is causing uh violence. Now,
you remember when I told you that when
Trump back in 2015, I predicted that
Trump would change more than politics,
that he would change our very view of
reality. This is one of those times.
Once you understand that uh words words
are the basis of your brain you know we
think in words that if you change the
words you change the thinking that's why
people are always arguing use my
definition of the word I say it's a
genocide if if they can get you to
accept their word
then it changes your thinking. So words
change thinking. The way you think of it
is that you think and then you come up
with the words to describe what you
think. Not the case.
We're we're a lot like AI and large
language models. The words come first.
If you if your brain has a certain set
of words in it that it that it accesses
you more easily or first, that's where
your thinking is going to end up. It'll
end up where your words are.
So that's a hypnotist take. So yes, this
rhetoric is absolutely lethal.
Um
let's see.
Yeah, MSNBC is is going all in on this
Trump's fault.
And then you've got uh Jasmine Crockett,
Democrat Jasmine Crockett. She falsely
claimed I guess she was on the Breakfast
Club maybe yesterday and uh she says
that both attempted Trump assassins were
registered Republicans and had not voted
Democrat.
Now that is completely made up. That's
not true. How in the world did she
imagine that the attempted assassins
were Republicans?
So, I believe um I think she got fact
checked on that. I I think Charlemagne
may have fact checked her on that. Um
then she she doubled down on calling
Trump a quote wannabe Hiller. She said
it again. She said it yesterday while
Charlie Kirk is in a box. He's not even
in the ground yet. And she decided that
that was all right. I'll say that again.
Um,
and she she's she argues
that uh calling Trump a you know a Nazi
Hitler kind of guy is is no worse with
then when Trump said I could shoot
someone on Fifth Avenue and get away
with it.
Everybody who heard him say that knew
that he was making a hyperbole kind of
an, you know, uh, statement. Not a
single person said, "Hey, I've got an
idea. Why don't we shoot people on Fifth
Avenue because our leader thinks he can
do it, so why don't we do it? Let's go
shoot some people on Fifth Avenue." No.
Not a single person in the whole world
thought that. That was a call to
violence. And listening to Jasmine
Crockett, the stupidest person in the
Democrat party, I do think she might be
the dumbest person in the in the entire
party.
Um
but at least uh Charlemagne
Deod who is the host of the Breakfast
Club um he admitted on the show where
Jasmine was that uh he has engaged in
rhetoric um that could be determined as
inciting violence against Trump. He he
said I think we all incite whether we
think we do or not. And what I mean by
that is I've definitely called that
regime fascist.
Um, and he said if you hear somebody
call him Hitler, if there's somebody
that thinks, "Oh, Hitler." And then they
look at a lot of actions that are going
on, they're like, "Well, let's prevent
this before million people get killed."
So, I can understand how it all incites
violence.
Good for you. I have to say I have uh,
you know, continuous mixed feelings
about Charlemagne, the god. certainly
agree with uh some of his takes and I
appreciate that he's taking the the both
obvious and the honest take that there
is something about our language that
probably causes some action we don't
want and that a lot of people are
involved and he's he's admitting that he
is too so I don't know if he'll stop
doing it
he he came close to almost
sort forgiving that kind of stuff
because everybody does it. He didn't say
that, but it sort of bumped into that
thought.
Let's see. Uh
I I've also noticed that the people who
are most angry about Charlie Kirk have a
belief that he was a completely
different person. Completely different
person. I've I've heard somebody raging
about how he was racist against blacks.
Now, I don't know every single thing
that Charlie Kirk ever said, but I would
still be willing to bet a large amount
of money that he's never, not even once,
said something that anybody could
construe as racist against blacks. I'll
bet nothing. I'll bet not once. How
about even I'll bet he never even
brushed against it. It's completely
opposite his Christian identity. And he
and he would be way too smart to do it
accidentally. He was way too good. So
now, where in the world does that even
come from? Where does that come from? I
mean, do people just make up and
other people say, "Well, I've never
heard him talk, but my friend Bob says
he's this terrible person." So, this is
again, you know, the two movies on one
screen that I always talk about. How in
the world
would they have that opinion about him?
I I'm completely baffled.
Well, Chris Cuomo um was uh criticizing
Elon Musk and he said, quote, "I know
there's power in playing the victim, but
Elon Musk is the one saying that the
left is the party of murder." So, that's
what Elon said the other day. The left
is the party of murder.
and and and he he acts like that is
pushing extremism. To which I say,
is he really saying that Elon Musk
should stop complaining about the left
trying to kill him? Do you know how much
security that guy needs? Can you imagine
the number of death threats that Elon
Musk has gotten? All from the left. So
when he says that the left is the party
of murder, yeah, there's some hyperbole
in that obviously, but
to to to imagine that Elon Musk is the
problem. He's literally the the victim
of all kinds of death threats and
entirely from the left, I would guess.
You know, if if it's not 100%, it's
probably 99%.
So, I think uh Chris Cuomo missed the
mark on that complaint because the
problem is not the person complaining
about getting murdered.
That's not the problem. Oh my god. Yeah,
Charlie Kirk got murdered, but the real
problem is the people complaining about
it.
What?
What? The real problem is the
complaining about the murder.
I think the real problem is the murder.
There's a uh it's reminding me of a Nor
McDonald joke. You've probably all heard
it by now when he he talks about uh Bill
Cosby. He goes, "You know, some people
say the worst part about the Bill Cosby
situation is the hypocrisy."
And then he pauses for a fact and goes,
"I don't think it's the hypocrisy. I
think the worst problem is the rape.
And it feels like that. It's like, no,
the worst problem is not the
complaining.
It's not the complaining. It's the
murder. It's the murder.
Um, then here's another example. The
account media lies spotted this. So, the
Tennessee House Representative uh Justin
Pearson, he was on MSNBC,
uh just recently, and
here are some of the things he said
after
Charlie Kirk's murder. So, wouldn't you
think people would tone it down after he
gets murdered? Well, some of the things
he said was Trump's an authoritarian
dictator. the the cities that he's
sending the National Guard into will be
quote occupied by the military. Yeah,
he's a white supremacist.
Um he called federal assistance for law
enforcement terrorism. We have to fight
back against it. These are not benign
acts and black people are being used as
pawns.
Now, does that sound like somebody who's
trying to get a solution to any
problems?
No.
that that is not somebody who's trying
to solve a problem. I don't know what
that is, but it's not a problem solver.
And when asked about what the problem
is, um, Representative Pearson said that
uh instead of more policing, what they
need is uh things to battle poverty,
resources basically to battle poverty.
Because if you battled poverty and you
improved the schools, you would have
less violence.
Well, he's a stupid idiot because if you
don't solve crime, you don't get any of
that other stuff there. There's there's
no such thing as far as I know.
I've never heard of any high crime area
that solve their crime by uh helping the
poor. Have you? I've never heard of
that. As far as I know, that's a
completely impossible thing. However, I
have heard of cities such as New York
City under Giuliani
where they they beat back the crime and
then the economy prospered and
presumably people did better in general.
So, there are examples where battling
crime first can get you to a place where
you have at least the opportunity to
work on whatever you think are the other
problems. But if you don't do crime
first, you're not going to have a a base
of business. You're not going to have a
tax base. You won't have money to, you
know, improve your schools from the tax
base. Um, this guy's an idiot.
This is not a difference of opinion.
This is a idiot. And he's
elected. He's in charge.
All right.
Um,
and I guess on MSNBC, Peter Baker, he
said that the people who were calling
the left radical and lunatics are the
ones ratcheting up the political
rhetoric.
Yeah. Um, do you think any Republicans
are going to get a gun and murder
somebody because they've heard the words
radical and lunatic?
Do you think that's likely?
Where where do these people come from?
They have the worst takes. Well, Bill
Maher was on Friday night, his normal
show, and he had some things to say. He
uh he did helpfully tell his audience,
and they got really quiet, that Trump is
not Hitler, you
He He was very forceful about Trump is
not Hitler. So, you're not really
helping yourself if that's where you're
going with your narrative. Um, and then
he then he said, uh, I'm paraphrasing
that a little bit, but but he said
directly, Trump is not Hitler.
So, thank you for that. That helps a
lot. Um, and he said that the people who
mocked Charlie Kirk's death or tried to
justify it, he says, "I think you're
gross. I have no use for you." So, that
was the right take. agree with that. So,
I think he's on the the right side of
this. He's a free speech guy, so that
makes sense. Um, but I wonder I I didn't
hear him acknowledge like Charlemagne
the God did that he might have been part
of the problem. Did Bill Maher ever
accuse Trump of being a fascist or
trying to steal democracy?
Because I think he might have.
I think he might have. Uh, but I'd
rather I'd rather be happy that he said
Trump is not Hiller and happy that uh um
he he he's not happy with the people who
celebrated it. So, that's something. But
I feel like
I feel like he needs to kind of come
clean that he may have used some of the
words. I mean, he's not to blame. Yeah.
I'm not going to say he's to blame, but
collectively,
don't they think they don't you think
they all knew the risk? You know, you've
heard the phrase stocatic stic um
terrorism. The idea that you just use
words to condemn somebody to the point
where somebody says, "Man, I'm going to
have to take care of this." And they
they get violent.
So, it feels like the Democrats knew on
some level that they were putting
Republicans in mortal danger, but they
were okay with it because they wouldn't
personally be blamed. Oh, I'm just one
person who said a few words. You know,
if there were hundreds and hundreds of
people on TV saying a few words, well,
you can't put me in jail for that.
So,
David Axelrod,
famed uh Democrat consultant sort of
guy, he torched the Democrats over a few
uh what he calls the mistakes. He said
it was insane to spend three years
before he did something serious about
the border. Insane.
And then he also said it was wrong not
to be much more active in trying to
reopen schools.
All right. Um,
does it uh does it strike you as odd
that these two problems that every
Republican understood were gigantic
problems that the Democrats had to wait
uh what a year after they were out of
office to even admit that? Oh yeah, this
was like insane. Just insane.
Did he not know that at the time?
I I think he did. I think he did know
that was insane, at least the border
part.
Um,
and then Axel Rod is complaining about
the Republicans who may have used the
word war recently, as in uh, you know,
we're in a war with the other side. And
he said, the words have specific
meaning. When you say you're in a war,
it's an invitation for people to commit
acts of violence. And it didn't take
long for social media and western
lensmen caught this on X. Um there's a
clip of Chris Murphy, prominent
Democrat, who was saying, you know, I
think the day before Charlie Kirk was
killed, he said, "We're in a war to save
the country. You have to be willing to
do whatever is necessary." Now if you
say the context is a war and then you
say you have to do whatever is necessary
that does allow killing that would be
whatever is necessary to some people not
to me obviously
um so Axelrod um
I would sort of partially agree that war
is a it's a fighting word but
when I see uh when I see Republicans
talk that Okay. Um, I know that they
don't mean it literally,
but when Democrats talk about Trump
being a, you know, the next
authoritarian Hitler, they mean it
literally. Yeah. I mean, not that he's
going to have a little mustache and
change his name to Hitler, but that he
would act like that. I believe they mean
that literally. I I've never heard any
I've never heard any Republican who
would believe that we're in a literal
war as opposed to a political one.
Anyway,
Trump has ordered the uh State
Department to expand their screening to
uh disallow people who are trying to get
into the country on visas uh to disallow
them if they've said bad things
um about the assassination of Charlie
Kirk. And I guess they're using AI to
search for things that they might have
said. Now, I'm happy about that.
Yeah, I I feel like uh you don't get to
come in the front door and and be our
guest.
Uh unless you're saying good things, at
least on day one. I mean, you know, you
shouldn't have a history of criticizing
the country and then trying to get into
it.
So, I'm all right with that. I don't
know if that will pass any legal muster,
but I'm definitely okay with it.
Well, Andrew Tate, who sometimes has
gone quiet, but now he's re-emerging. He
was on Pierce Morgan Uncensored, and uh
he says one of the problems, the big
problems in the country is uh uh women
voting.
And he says, "Who votes for liberalism?
Who votes for soft on crime? Who votes
for open borders? Who votes for DEI by
and large? Male or female? Which sexes?
female.
So he he says, "Why was this woman, you
know, the Ukrainian woman who got
stabbed on the light rail train?" He
says, "Why is this woman going to work
and riding the tram uh alone at night
instead of thinking this is dangerous?"
She believed that she can go and fend
for herself. Bad things happen when we
ignore reality. Society was built by
evil, misogynistic men.
I love the honesty of that. And then
these feminists came along and destroyed
it all. I believe in protecting women
because I don't believe they can fight.
And he says, "If that makes me a
misogynist, so be it." Well, now, of
course, Andrew Tate uh is brilliant at
being the most provocative on whatever
the topic is. So, this again is is more
of that. He's very good at this
communication thing, if you haven't
noticed. Um but I'll I'll give you my
take. I also believe
that uh women are did not evolve for
defense
protection defense to be their top
priority sort of biologically designed
to to do it. Men did you know men are
designed for violence. We're designed to
protect what we love and kill what we
don't and kill what we need to eat. And
so I just ask you this, male or female,
let's say you've got a date, one of you
is male, one of you is female. You go
into a restaurant. Which one of you
knows where the exits are?
Which one of you plans just
automatically, reflexively what would
happen if a if an armed person came in
and shooting in the restaurant? Like
what would be the first thing you do?
Men do that. We are designed, we're
trained from birth, I think, uh to be
defenseoriented.
So if you're talking about uh what
should we do about the border of the
country, you don't want women involved
in that.
If you do, you're going to get an open
border because women are trained,
designed, evolved to put empathy first.
Now, before you call me a misogynist,
uh, let me be clear. I do think that a
woman could be, you know, the president
and the best protector of the border.
You remember Hillary was pretty hard ass
about the border before, you know,
before she lied and said she wasn't. Um,
so yeah, you could get Margaret
Thatcher. Um, you know, I I could
probably name half a dozen women um who
who would be, you know, perfectly strong
on all the things, strong on crime,
strong on the border. So, it's not about
individuals,
right? It's about averages.
And the average applies to voting, but
it doesn't apply to any one person who
wanted to be extraordinary at one job.
So any job is fine if they, you know, if
they're qualified for the job. But as
soon as you go with averages, it's like,
all right, everybody vote, men and
women, everybody vote. you're gonna get
the male vote, which would protect you
from violence, watered down
by the average of women are like, "Oh,
we don't want to treat people badly. Let
them in."
So, I won't go as far as Andrew Tate
did, but I will say uh and obviously
there's there's not really a practical
way that that uh women would lose the
vote. I I don't think that's serious.
But he makes the point that if you're
looking for the source of the problem,
that's it. That's it. I'm pretty sure
that if only men voted, we would have a
very different looking world. You know,
maybe in some ways it'd be worse, but in
in ways that uh matter a lot to us, I'm
pretty sure it would be better. You
know, we we never would have opened the
border, for example. That never would
have happened, I don't think.
Well, Comcast um who owns MSNBC issued a
public apology. Uh you already know the
story. One of their one of their
commentators got fired for um
kind of suggesting that maybe Charlie
Kirk's narrative got him killed.
And you know, they say they'll do
better, etc. But I don't know. I don't
know if their apology means anything
because then they put the same bunch of
lying idiots on the air to make the same
claims that uh Trump's the one to blame
for the uh the violence. They all need
to be fired if you're going to be taken
seriously. And if you're not going to be
if you're not going to fire the liars
and the morons uh who are making
everything worse and they're basically
triggering killers in my opinion. Uh if
you're not going to do something real
about that, don't give us your little
press release about that what guy you
didn't care about anyway who didn't have
his own show. They didn't care about
him. They might have even wanted to get
rid of him. Maybe he wasn't that good
anyway. So they lost nothing and they
just went right back to saying things
that'll get Republicans killed.
So no respect whatsoever for MSNBC or
their management.
All right. Um I guess the House
Oversight Committee, James Comr's
committee has uh requested Epstein's
financial records from the Treasury. It
looks like they'll get them. To which I
say,
really?
We're we're just now going to look at
his financial records. Has anybody
looked at him? Have his financial
records been thoroughly examined by some
police entity in pri prior cases, you
know, prior situation.
um
or would the uh Treasury Department have
to start from scratch and say, "Ah,
nobody nobody's looked into this, but
you know, we'll we'll spend a month
trying to put it together." Um well,
maybe we'll find out everything because
or maybe we don't we won't because
allegedly Epstein was an expert at
laundering money. So, if we see all the
official and legal ways that he moved
money around, it might not tell us
anything, but I'd love to see the dollar
amounts, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you like
to see if suddenly, I don't know, $50
million came into his account one day
and there's no explanation for it? I
don't know. And I don't know how much of
his money would have been, let's say, in
Swiss accounts or something like that. I
don't know if we can penetrate them
these days.
So, we might not find out anything.
Well, did you know that one of the ways
to get rid of all those microlastics
from the water? Um, scientists found out
that you could put uh extracts from okra
and fenugreek, some kind of plant-based
thing, um, and tamarind. And what it
does is it sticks the plastic and makes
it heavy enough to sink to the bottom.
So they can get rid of 90% of
microplastics just by putting these
natural
goo they call it into the water. Now,
this is one of
uh several scientific breakthroughs I've
told you about recently that all deal
with microplastics.
And I think microplastics will be
another one of those Adam's law of
slowmoving disaster situations where it
looked like uh are we going to all die
from eating plastic because it's in
everything and we can't get it out?
Well,
it looks like we had enough time for the
smart people to figure out some
solutions. They don't have the solutions
yet, but they're definitely knocking on
the door with a number of different
technologies.
Well, as you know, Trump said he's going
to deploy the National Guard to Memphis
next
um because they have a very high crime.
I think they're the highest crime in the
country. They have a Democrat mayor, but
the Democrat mayor has uh allowed them
to come in, but he's trying to have it
both ways. He he he's trying to
basically criticize Trump while while
accepting his help.
So, he's really he's really walking a
fine line here. Um what did he say? Uh
he said uh there are a lot of citizens
in our community that are scared uh said
Mayor Young about the National Guard
coming in and he says he doesn't think
sending troops will bring down crime but
he welcomes the help.
What an idiot
there. There are so many Democrats who
you can't even say well you know I have
a slightly different opinion. That's not
about opinion. This is just a
idiot. I mean, it's hard to it's hard to
say anything except, "Oh, oh, oh, you're
an idiot." Oh, okay. That's all we need
to know. There's no point in discussing
because you're not going to change the
mind of an idiot. But he thinks that
sending the truth will not bring down
crime. After he watched Washington DC,
he thinks it won't bring down crime.
Well, at least temporarily it will. I
don't know what happens in the long run.
Um
he says these citizens are scared
really they're going to be scared of the
National Guard who won't be arresting
anybody. They'll just be sort of a
resource and you know being a a presence
and they're more they're more afraid of
the people who are stopping crime
than the crime. So, you'd rather take
your chance with a murderer
than a National Guard member? Is that
what your citizens would prefer? You
idiot. You just You absolute
idiot. Now, I've said this
before, but I think all local uh
governments are criminal organizations.
I think they're all just finding ways to
move money around. By the way,
when the founders of the country
designed our form of government, there
wasn't that much money moving around,
was there? If you were a mayor, it
wasn't like, oh, we've got these giant
contracts for, you know, building the
new thing. We're building the new town
center. We're building, I don't know,
fixing the highways in town or whatever
we're doing.
If you didn't have a ton of money
flowing through the city, well, maybe
maybe the people you elect would just do
the job of taking care of the city. But
the moment the the dollar amounts go
through the roof, which would be the
current situation, you know, anything
you did in a city would be ridiculously
expensive, and then you let those same
politicians decide where the where the
money goes, you know, which vendors do
the work. you are guaranteed
guaranteed to create a criminal
organization around siphoning off some
of that money just because there's so
much of it. So I would argue that the
founders who brilliantly created a great
system and constitution
that if they had known how much money
was going to be flowing through the
cities eventually they would not have
designed it the way they did.
there's a part missing the the audit,
you know. Now, obviously anything can be
audited if people want to, but it needs
to be a permanent part of the system.
You've got to have something where the
auditors change out often so they don't
get corrupted or owned by the, you know,
the people they're trying to audit. Um,
and I don't know exactly what the system
would be, but there needs to be gigantic
transparency about where every dollar
goes and we should all be able to easily
look at it and we should look at, oh, it
went to this vendor. Does this vendor
have any connection, family or best
friends or anything with the people who
made the decision? Well, then you could
maybe drive crime out of and
governments. But at the moment, I just
assume that any mayor of a big city is a
criminal. How many of you assume that? I
assume that every mayor of every big
city is a criminal and that maybe that's
what attracts him to the job.
I don't know. There might be some
exceptions, but my but my assumption
every time I see one is like, why would
you even have that job? Who would want
that job? Who would have so much skill
that they could be a mayor
and that that was their best career
opportunity?
Criminals. Criminals. Uh so I believe it
ends up being all criminals in local
government.
Anyway, so we'll see what happens in
Memphis.
True. Um,
so if you're wondering, 63% of Memphis
is black.
43% in Washington DC is black. Now, the
mayor said that the the base problem is
poverty.
Um, and as I've explained, you can't
work on the poverty until you work on
the crime.
Um, so there you go.
So, uh, Elon Musk and JD Vance are
agreeing with each other on on acts
that, uh, you could do a lot about crime
if you just put in jail forever the few
people who commit all the crimes. Now,
you're probably aware that they're just
individuals who can do hundreds of
crimes and even be caught hundreds of
times and released to do hundreds of
more. So if you don't put them in jail
forever, your crime rate probably never
goes down because they don't stop doing
crimes and they're not going anywhere.
So if you don't lock them up forever,
there's no really hope of crime ever
going down. It's it would be impossible.
Uh but if you lock up the most dangerous
people who are doing probably I don't
know what the ratio is but 80% of the
crime probably
maybe 5% of the criminals are doing 80%
of the crime and we know who they are
because we keep catching them. It's not
like they're even hard to catch. They've
been caught maybe dozens of times
already but they're just let go. So JD
and Elon agree on that and I feel like
that would be a way better approach than
the National Guard. The National Guard
is not a bad idea. It brings attention
to things and maybe calms things down
temporarily, but doesn't seem like a
permanent. I don't think it's a
permanent fix. But jailing the people
who do all the crimes, that would be
permanent. Now, if you wanted to get
clever and say, "Hey, it's too evil to
put people in jail for life because they
uh let's say they shoplifted three times
in a row or something like that." I
don't know if that would be enough to be
life in prison. But I feel like some
people just need to be, you know, sent
to the island where they can live with
the other crooks and they're just not
near people who are not crooks and maybe
keep them there forever. But it doesn't
have to be in a jail cell. You know, you
can let them just wander around and
eat cheap food and grow their own or,
you know, they could survive. It's just
you just can't let them with other
people.
All right. Get the f away from those
prisoners, from the uh from the
criminals, I say.
Um, Missouri passed a uh Trump approved
redistricting plan which would give them
one more Republican House seat probably
the AP's reporting. So that's pick up a
one and uh remember the House is really
close so one C could be the difference
between a majority and not having
majority for the Republicans. Well, we
know now that John Bolton's personal
email account, he was using a nonsecure
personal email for some stuff he's being
accused of, uh, was hacked by a foreign
entity. New York Post is reporting. Now,
I don't know what foreign entity it was
that's not being reported. Um,
but how do you feel knowing that he was
using his personal email
for some things that may have been
classified? At least that's an
allegation. And uh that foreign entities
had hacked it.
Well,
that's bad.
That's bad.
Um, Trump is calling for a 50 to 100%
tariff on uh, China by NATO countries.
So, he's not talking about just the US.
He's talking about NATO countries.
Apparently, the NATO countries are still
buying a lot of oil. I don't know which
ones are buying the most, but so NATO is
fighting a war or supporting Ukraine,
fighting a war against Russia while
funding the war for Russia by buying
their oil. Now, I don't know what
options they have. Could it be that
there's just not physically enough oil
that you can get there to replace it or
it's way too expensive? But even
expensive doesn't expensive doesn't seem
to be a good enough reason, you know, in
a war scenario.
Anyway, so Trump says that NATO's
commitment to win has been less than
100%.
Now, I don't know if he's going to get
away with this, but he wants to go major
sanctions on Russia and major sanctions
on China for buying oil from Russia.
Do you think that'll pan out? Do you
think first of all he'll get these uh
tariffs that the European Union will do
it? And then secondly, do you think it
would work? You know, do you think it
would make any difference? Because
anything short of crashing Russia's
economy isn't going to work. And even
that is fraught with danger.
So, but it does look like Trump is
serious about
taking down the Russian economy.
Well, Manny, the the kami, who is
running for mayor and probably will get
elected in New York City, um he vowed to
arrest Netanyahu
um if he ever got a chance, if he ever
came to the city. Now, the reason he
would arrest him is that what is it? the
uh international criminal court which
the America is not a party to so we're
not bound by it but it it issued an
arrest warrant for Netanyahu I think
they're alleging him war crimes against
humanity in Gaza and uh mom Donnie says
he would push to get him arrested now it
doesn't look like that's within the
power of a mayor
so I don't know what he would do to get
him arrested I know encourage the police
to do it. He couldn't order them to do
it. He wouldn't have the authority. But
I don't know. But he's making that
promise. Now, does that seem like a good
idea to you? Well, um, apparently his
pro Palestinian stance drove 62% of the
primary voters to the the polls. So,
Mammi has a very big anti-Israel
support base. But I'll tell you, if you
had told me that New York City would be
electing a mayor who seems somewhat
obviously anti-Israel,
I would have said, "No, no, that can't
happen." Has anybody told you the size
of the Jewish um citizens of New York
City? I mean, there's so many of them
that there's no way you can elect some
anti-Semitic guy.
Well, I guess I was not aware how many
pro Palestinians there are in New York
City because it looks like it looks like
that's going to happen. Now, I would not
have predicted that in a million years.
Anyway,
um but it'll be a good test of Israel's
influence. You know how uh there are
many Americans who say Israel really
runs the United States when it comes to
Israel and Middle East policy. Not not
everything but uh when it comes to what
we do in the Middle East and wars and
stuff like that uh in the Middle East uh
people say Israel is controlling our
government and there's you know a
reasonable argument for that. Apac is
very successful and uh blah blah blah.
Um
but it but this will be a good test. If
Mamami can get elected in New York City,
you're going to have to wonder just how
powerful is the Israeli lobby in the
United States because I feel as if
you know Israel would want to try as
hard as possible to influence events so
that that guy didn't get elected.
But what happens if they don't have any
impact?
Would you be willing to reassess your
belief that Israel is controlling the
government of the United States? Because
there's no way they'd be in favor of
that. Mom dami getting elected. And
so keep an eye on that. You know,
anything could happen.
Well, according to interesting
engineering, there's a uh new, or at
least I never heard of it, method for
storing energy where they freeze air so
cold that it turns liquid and it's much
smaller. Um, takes up much less room
when it becomes liquid and then they
store it overnight. So, they they cool
the air when the electricity is
plentiful and cheap. And then when they
need to release it, they've got some
kind of device where when they warm it
up a little bit, the the super frozen
air which had become liquid changes from
liquid to air again and then it expands
greatly and the expansion drives some
turbines and it drives a generator. So
apparently uh Korea says they're South
Korea says they're close to being able
to build that. They've got a prototype
All right. Um, I guess there are other
countries they're they're pursuing it,
too. So, that's all I had for you today.
Remember that Owen Gregorian will be
running his spaces event right after I'm
done. I'm going to say a few words
privately to the local subscribers and
then uh Owen will be firing up his
spaces event on X if you want to follow
up on anything that we said today.
All right. Um,
locals, I'm going to come at you
privately in 30 seconds. The rest of
you, thanks for joining. I appreciate
it. I hope you come back tomorrow. We'll
do it again.
