A cosmic structure has been found that is bigger than any known structure, and in theory could not exist. Is it the work of aliens? Or is it a perfect circle of galaxies and galaxy clusters that spans 1.3 billion light years in diameter? And what's the deal with the iPhone?
00:03:09.420But what's going to happen to the profitability of apps when you don't have to pay the phone provider for it?
00:03:16.100And how in the world can Apple survive as a company if there's an open source app store for AI and AI prices come down to zero and you don't need all the fancy programming?
00:03:28.920Because we're very close to the phone.
00:03:30.500Here's what I think is going to happen.
00:03:32.680I've said this for a long time, but we finally have the technology to do it.
00:03:38.360Your phone should turn into a commodity.
00:06:52.660The number of, let's say, influencers who are saying directly alcohol is bad is really increasing.
00:07:04.100If you haven't noticed, the number of people who other people listen to who are in the self-improvement or even just in the news that say they don't drink at all, and it's not because they were alcoholics.
00:07:19.300They just kind of woke up one day and said, what the hell am I doing?
00:07:22.760So I think that the reframe alcohol is poison, which I like to put out there.
00:07:33.620It's sort of based on the alcohol is sugar theme.
00:08:18.080You're all aware of the reframe that says, follow the money.
00:08:21.400And the idea is, if you're trying to figure out what's really going on in the world or people you know or politics, if you just see who's making money from whatever it is that's being proposed, you usually know exactly what's going to happen.
00:08:36.420So follow the money tends to be predictive.
00:08:38.540If the powerful people can make money off a thing, the thing is likely to happen.
00:08:48.700Money, if you have enough to pay your essentials, let's say you have enough to eat and survive, money after that is basically a mating strategy.
00:08:58.360We don't always think of it that way, but it is entirely true that the more money you have, the more of a good mate you look like.
00:14:49.220Democrats seem to be more in favor of it than at least Republican voters, not Republican politicians.
00:14:57.460But, oh, take gun control, gun control.
00:15:02.400So women want fewer guns, but how is that connected to mating?
00:15:05.780Well, yeah, that one's a little different, because you'd expect that they'd want to be around men who could protect them, and they might be more likely to have guns.
00:16:18.080All right, I believe it is inevitable, here's a prediction, that our future humanoid robots, maybe AI in general, is going to have to come in two different flavors.
00:16:31.220You're going to have a Republican robot and a Democrat robot.
00:16:40.300Probably also male and female, that's true.
00:16:42.400But I think they're going to be, they're going to have to be Republican and Democrat, because if I let one of these in my house, I don't want it to be like a blue-haired crazy, you know, I don't want my robot to be the very people I try to avoid in real life.
00:17:03.600And so, and, you know, likewise, if you're a Democrat, you don't want any damn Republican robot in your house.
00:17:09.960So, since we're going to, we're going to really, really want our robots to agree with us in, let's say, the big things, you know, the really big stuff, you know, not everything, but you want your robot to be basically on your same side for the big life things.
00:17:28.400So, there will, in fact, have to be an option for your robot to, maybe, maybe flip a switch would be smarter, but a switch to make it Republican or Democrat.
00:17:40.200So, that's my prediction, that you'll have to do that, because people will just demand it, or they'll hack it themselves to make it that way.
00:17:50.900So, as I mentioned yesterday, I was trending like crazy.
00:17:56.480So, I was trending between Hillary Clinton and E. Jean Carroll.
00:18:01.020So, that wasn't the best look, but I was trending.
00:23:27.780If that's what you see, you're not playing fair.
00:23:31.220She's very clearly saying as part of the DEI that the head of United said he was trying hard to get diversity.
00:23:39.380And if you try too hard to get diversity, you're going to be lowering your standards if it's the only way you can get there.
00:23:46.940So what you worry about as a flyer is how much did they lower their standards, if at all, if at all, to get to their quotas.
00:23:57.820Now, it's terribly unfair to be bigoted against, you know, a woman or a person of color if they're a pilot.
00:24:08.020Would you agree that that is bigoted if you don't know anything about them personally, but you say, oh, there's a black pilot or a woman pilot.
00:29:04.260You know, I don't want the wide truck.
00:29:06.340The wide truck's a pain in the ass because you can't park it as easily in as many places.
00:29:11.440Anyway, but that has nothing to do with anything.
00:29:13.820So I spend the afternoon looking at Tacoma trucks.
00:29:16.040And then when I'm done, I say, I think I'm going to watch, see if anything's on Netflix.
00:29:19.580And I turn on Netflix and the home page, the one that comes up when you first open it, was for a new series called Tacoma about some firefighters.
00:29:31.280Now, that was pretty weird, but just a coincidence.
00:32:23.160Well, apparently, Christopher Wray is being accused of hollowing out the FBI with a bunch of DEI hires.
00:32:31.320So a bunch of, let's see, there's a report by an alliance of retired and active duty agents who say basically the new recruits are lower quality because the requirements for being in the FBI were lowered so that they can improve their diversity through DEI.
00:32:52.320So there's the, these critics who are current and past FBI people say that Christopher Wray has degraded the recruitment standards in all areas, including physical fitness, illicit drug use, financial irregularities, mental health, full-time work experience, and integrity.
00:33:12.760So that basically the FBI is just a woke nightmare at this point.
00:33:17.620So, if you hear that FBI is being hollowed out by DEI, do you think that Vivek is right?
00:33:24.620You could get rid of 75% of them without hurting your effectiveness?
00:34:05.380Well, the FBI is probably going to find that out.
00:34:07.520In Hunter Biden news, I guess Hunter Biden's associate, Rob Walker, has now testified under oath that Hunter Biden's work for the Chinese energy company, CFC, began while Joe Biden was still vice president in 2015.
00:34:26.620So, let's add that to the list of everything you suspected was true, was exactly like it looked like.
00:34:36.240Hunter Biden was taking money from a Chinese energy company while his father was vice president of the United States.
00:34:55.760So, that's exactly what it looks like.
00:34:58.940Here's another exactly what it looks like.
00:35:01.620What were the odds that in an election year where Biden needs to get reelected, who could have predicted that yesterday there would be a post by Paul Krugman, famous Democrat-leading economist,
00:38:02.760The State Department has temporarily paused additional funding for allegations that 12 of the agency's employees were involved in the Hamas attack on October 7th.
00:38:57.920But it's because Trump is always right, and if you take all the opinions that people have, and you remove from them the ones that are right, you know, the Trump opinions, the ones that are right, then the opinions that are wrong would be what?
00:39:18.720So, if you take all, if you remove from the subset of all opinions the ones that are right, then the ones that you haven't removed are the ones that are left.
00:39:31.900So, that's why it's called right and left, because some are right, and the others are what's left.
00:39:44.660You might be surprised to know that there's a CIA whistleblower who alleges that the CIA offered to pay off independent analysts to change their positions on whether the COVID-19 lab leak theory was valid.
00:40:01.540So, we don't have confirmation of that.
00:40:04.940But a whistleblower, according to Rand Paul, who's taking us seriously, and he's a serious person who's a credit to the country, even when I don't agree with him, he's still a credit to the country, Rand Paul, because he's consistent.
00:40:20.860He's not a damn hypocrite, and he's actually trying to help the country in everything he does.
00:40:26.260It's just obvious he's just trying to make things work.
00:40:33.000But, yeah, it's a good thing he's looking into this.
00:40:39.660So, Rand Paul, he might have been right about everything in the pandemic and Fauci, because he's on the right, and when you remove those opinions, well, that's what's left.
00:40:53.360Let's talk about the Eugene Carroll corruption of justice.
00:40:58.880So, there's a result in the lawsuit where Eugene Carroll was suing Trump for defamation, because Trump called her a liar and whatnot.
00:41:08.740So, the court has decided that Trump should pay her $83.3 million.
00:41:18.540So, does that feel like justice has been served, or does it feel like the courts are completely broken in some jurisdictions, and that as soon as Trump's name comes up, there isn't a chance he gets a good trial?
00:41:35.760Now, I don't think he's going to ever pay this money.
00:41:40.840Seems like there's something you could do to make this go away, some legal process.
00:41:45.900But, John Lefebvre does a good job of summarizing what you didn't know about this trial.
00:41:52.440Now, I knew a few of these things, but when you see them all on the list, oh, my God.
00:41:58.060So, let me read what John Lefebvre summarizes.
00:42:03.980He says, I thought everyone knew the Eugene Carroll v. Trump case was bogus until I heard my mother's late 60s Republican uninformed take on the verdict after watching ABC Nightly News.
00:42:29.540He says, it's hard to find on Google, so here's what you need to know about the case, most of which was deemed inadmissible by the judge.
00:42:39.720Number one, she couldn't recall the date, month, season, or year the incident happened.
00:42:45.000The incident where she alleges that Trump pushed her into a restroom or a changing room, I guess, a changing area and sexually touched her.
00:42:58.480So, she didn't even know the season or the year.
00:43:17.340Because I thought in a case like this, unless they had told somebody that they knew at the time it happened, I thought that these cases never go anywhere.
00:43:27.220Like, if you don't have a witness that you were talking about it when it happened, that's almost a guarantee that nobody can do anything with it from a legal perspective.
00:43:37.940Because that is just what you said happened 100 years ago, and that's not enough.
00:43:42.800But according to Lefebvre, she never told anybody about it, so the court case didn't present that.
00:43:52.060Yeah, she also tweeted that her favorite show was the, well, we'll get that, was The Apprentice.
00:44:01.900The dress she claims to have been wearing didn't exist at the time.
00:44:07.280The dress she claimed to be wearing didn't exist.
00:44:11.900Her description of the dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman was inaccurate, making her sequence of events impossible.
00:44:19.200Her lawsuit was bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein, pal and Democrat, and Nikki Haley, mega-donor, Reid Hoffman.
00:44:31.160Democrats created a law, the Adult Survivors Act in 2022, to enable her lawsuit to proceed, because the statute of limitations had run out.
00:44:41.120And coincidentally, New York created a law that had the effect of making this specific case pursuable.
00:44:50.740Now, do you think they made that law just because of Trump?
