often in public. So it's more revealing about what they actually think. And I do think that there are quite a few people who want people like me to be literally dead, like actually literally dead. Now why is that? Is it because they accurately know things I've said? Is it because they accurately know things Trump has said and done? No, it's the news. The news is the story again.

If you think this is a story about Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway having some opinions you don't like that were stated in a way that became public, that's not exactly the story. The story is they're victims too, meaning that they are just as brainwashed as most of the world actually. So the brainwashing is the story and it's the news. The news is brainwashing people to say things that when you look at them you say, "My God." But moreover it also tells you something about their bubble. How did you not know that that would be taken really, really badly? Because they act like, you know, people are going to love it. I think that's the problem. That Jack Black Tenacious D concert that got cancelled because one of the bandmates said something pro-assassination. I think that you say that in front of a crowd of people because you're so in your bubble that it doesn't occur to you that half of them might be deeply, deeply offended by that. And they were. Probably, I don't know if it was half, but a lot.

Anyway, Biden apparently, his Department of Energy has an AI roadmap. Now you might say, what does the Department of Energy have to do with AI? Well, AI will suck up massive amounts of energy, so much there wouldn't be enough left for human beings literally. So we've got a really big problem and it might not be solved by building more power plants because it takes a long time to build a nuke facility, for example. But one of the things they want to do is figure out how to make AI supercomputers more energy efficient, which totally seems like that's worth doing. So in our highly contentious world I'd like to say that looks like good work. I have no problem with that. I think having my government do some kind of a nationalist initiative to try to make the AI supercomputer more energy efficient so it doesn't suck up all our energy and we all die in the fields, that just seems like a solid good idea. So sometimes we can say that the Biden administration did something right. I hope this is it. I don't know all the details but I hope.

Well, meanwhile some what are being called Trump allies, you have to watch out for this story. That's your first signal that there's something up. A Trump ally? What's that tell you? I haven't even told you the story yet. But if it starts with Trump allies, it's going to be something that somebody's going to try to smear Trump with that did not come from Trump. You all know that, right? Any story that starts with Trump allies, because that's how the Project 2025 thing started. And then Trump has to explain, I basically don't know what's in there. What I heard I don't like. Right? But then people say, oh but they're your allies. And then I heard Van Jones saying that the Republican Party hasn't done enough to get rid of the white supremacists, the racists in the party. Now how dumb do you have to be as a consumer of news to think that's a good point? That the Republicans haven't done enough to get rid of the bad people in the party. You know that Republicans don't have any control over that, right? They can't excommunicate people. People can register any way they want and then they can say anything they want and then they can vote. Free speech is still possible even if you hate it, which is really the entire point of free speech, is that it allows the stuff you don't like. And what are the Democrats doing to get rid of their bad people?

I mean, so even Van Jones has retreated to a really stupid point. Let me be blunt. And I know he's too smart to think it's a good point. So if a smart person has to use a stupid point that somehow Republicans could excommunicate the people they don't like in the party, if all he's got left is a stupid point, and you know he knows it's stupid because he's smart, right? If he were stupid I'd say, hmm, does he not know that's a bad point? No, he's very smart. He knows it's a bad point. It's all he's got. They're basically out of ammunition. So you got to go to the stupid stuff. Really. And we'll talk about January 6 in a bit.

All right. So anyway the Trump allies have crafted an AI executive order that they'd like Trump to sign on to. And it's been viewed exclusively by the Washington Post. Do you see the second tell? Do you think the Trump allies are really ones that Trump has endorsed to do this work for him? No. And do you think if it were Trump allies and Trump liked it and the allies were all on the same page, do you think that it would be released only to the Washington Post? Or maybe leaked. We don't know if it was released or leaked. No. The Washington Post is not a credible entity. The Trump allies are not a credible description of anybody. And they have some kind of Manhattan Project idea for a military AI and slashing burdensome regulations. I would say I would not believe any part of that story. It could be some elements are true, but it's coming from such a non-credible place you should just discount it entirely. If later some credible entity that's not the Washington Post says it's true, well then maybe upgrade the likelihood there's a story here. Then you got to see who these Trump allies are because you know how much have they actually talked to Trump about any of this? And would JD Vance think it's a good idea? Would Vivek think it's a good idea?

By the way, how much do you love the fact that nothing s
