In this episode of the podcast, I talk about the latest breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, solar and battery technology, and the impending end of the financial system. I also talk about what's going to happen to our current financial system if we don't get rid of all our debts.
00:13:58.100And there's a study that might shed some light in this.
00:14:00.360So there's a recent study published by the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and found a significant link between economic inequality and voter behavior.
00:14:14.460The greater the economic inequality, the more voters will prefer an incompetent leader over a competent one.
00:14:24.740So in other words, if having capable leaders gets you lots of income inequality, then people will say, you know what, I'd rather have a retard.
00:14:36.560At least this income inequality won't be so bad.
00:14:40.300So apparently that actually shows up in at least one scientific study, if you can believe any scientific studies.
00:14:45.740So it might be that because the economy was good under Trump, and good economies in a capitalist world almost always mean income inequality.
00:14:59.900That in a capitalist system, when the economy is doing great, it almost always means that the top is gaining over the bottom.
00:15:10.880Every time I've ever heard of it, that's the case.
00:15:13.660So you could imagine that the people who are feeling, especially young people, who are feeling everything's too expensive and you can't possibly do anything.
00:15:25.320They probably think the income inequality is so high that they'd rather have an incompetent, brain-dead president if he would promise to do something about it, which he did.
00:15:37.820So we actually have scientific evidence that people will pick a brain-dead president if income inequality is their top interest.
00:16:58.060So, yes, you're making the assumption that a lot of people are going to make, and it's terribly unfair, although in some cases it will probably be true.
00:17:07.120I just don't know if it's true in this case.
00:17:12.100As the creator of Dilbert, I can tell you that CEOs get replaced because they had bad luck and they get promoted because they had good luck.
00:17:21.940So, sometimes it's really about the industry.
00:17:24.940Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it.
00:17:32.320Representative Cuellar and his wife are accused of accepting about $600,000 in foreign bribes and money laundering with gigantic long terms.

00:20:52.580So, the America First Legal Fund got a win.
00:21:01.100Apparently, the Biden administration put together this panel of immigration experts, and they would be advising the administration on immigration.
00:21:11.040Would you be surprised to find out that it was hailed as a bipartisan thing, but it was all just a bunch of Democrat donors?
00:21:19.220No, you would not be surprised, because it was corrupt, it was criminal, I mean, maybe not technically illegal, but completely corrupt, so much so that a legal act could make them disband, which is what happened.
00:21:35.440So, that America First Fund is doing really good work.
00:21:40.160I have to say, you know, when it was first announced that there would be a sort of Republican lawfare kind of group, you know, I didn't know how much impact they'd have, but it's looking like it might be the biggest thing happening, because they are shutting down, you know, all over the place, little bits of corruption.
00:22:00.920All right, there's a new update, it's going to sound like you've heard this before, but it keeps getting worse, actually, on the Mar-a-Lago boxes.
00:22:11.040So, Julie Kelly's all over this, and there's this guy, Jay Bratt, who led the investigation into the documents, and he was on the Jack Smith team.
00:22:23.480After he was appointed, he met with aides to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain in September 2021.
00:22:38.500So, their general counsel, Gary Stern, was working with the Biden's White House and DOJ as early as August 2021, before the boxes.
00:22:45.420So, there's evidence that the Jack Smith team was talking to the Biden White House before boxes game became a thing, a year before.
00:22:56.920Then, on top of that, on top of the fact that we know that they were talking to each other, which is very worrying, because they should be separate entities,
00:23:04.920we find out that the GSA had a bunch of boxes that they sent to Trump.
00:23:13.520So, it wasn't Trump denying boxes to the GSA.
00:25:03.500The people involved met with the Biden White House a year before.
00:25:06.520The GSA had documents that they sent to Trump, allegedly with the bad stuff in it.
00:25:12.980And then they said, you knew there was bad stuff in it, but only because they changed the evidence that showed that the order of the boxes had not been disturbed,
00:25:23.100which would suggest that nobody looked at him after they were shipped in.
00:25:25.820Now, how many of you thought that Trump was down in that warehouse looking through boxes at any time?
00:25:33.940Can you even imagine, just even hold it, like, you couldn't even get AI to draw this picture of Trump looking through files in a box.
00:25:48.980I don't think there's any chance that Trump or anybody he told to do it was pouring through the boxes looking for classified documents to make sure there were none in there
00:25:58.680or to look through things that he didn't know were in there.
00:26:02.500Now, keep in mind, if the story was these are the boxes that Trump and his people wanted packed up, why would he look through them?
00:26:43.100And how many times are the Democrats going to do a RICO plot without getting RICO'd?
00:26:50.340I think that every person involved in this probably belongs in jail.
00:26:56.300I mean, it looks to me like Jack Smith belongs in jail.
00:27:00.760And I think here's what I think the Democrats are going to start doing.
00:27:04.100They're going to have to start laying down some suppressive fire because they know they're all going to go to jail.
00:27:10.180They're going to have to start saying Trump is a dictator, and he's going to jail all of his enemies when he gets in power, which he should do, by the way.
00:27:18.440He should jail all of them, because they've all done what I would consider pretty obvious, treasonous acts.
00:27:28.320So, I mean, obviously the justice system has to do what it does.
00:27:31.820You can't be a dictator about that stuff.
00:27:33.720But if the legal system decides they should go to jail, well, I don't think you can blame the Trump administration for that.
00:27:41.000So, yes, I think the whole Mar-a-Lago thing looks like a criminal enterprise.
00:27:50.700And if all these people did, in fact, coordinate, then it's certainly RICO, isn't it?
00:27:56.920I mean, I'm no lawyer, so I don't know when RICO exactly applies.
00:28:01.240But if it's a whole bunch of people working on a plot to do an illegal thing, what do you call it?
00:28:07.840I mean, they're operating exactly like a mafia.
00:28:16.500Well, so the Mar-a-Lago case has completely fallen apart.
00:28:21.400As I told you the other day, Chris Cuomo and everybody smart says that the case about the overvaluing the assets in New York was a bullshit case,
00:28:31.200because the banks were not hurt and it was normal practice.
00:28:39.180You've got the Georgia election looks like it definitely was rigged.
00:28:43.980And Trump will be, is in a case for suggesting it was rigged.
00:28:50.040And if they counted better, they would find out that it was rigged.
00:28:54.080And he's maybe going to go to jail for questioning an election, which, at least according to the Rasmussen poll, looks pretty rigged.
00:29:02.360So, there's the time he thought it was rigged and he was right.
00:29:07.520There was the boxes that they sent to him to set him up.
00:29:12.460There was the business as normal case for just getting a loan that nobody says was a problem, including the banks.
00:29:20.200And then there's a Stormy Daniel case that has had nine witnesses and even CNN yesterday said there's no evidence of a crime after nine witnesses.
00:31:46.680Because the news will tell you opposites.
00:31:49.840You know, if Grok is just looking at the news, it's going to see that Trump committed 91 crimes, and also that he didn't, and it's all made up.
00:32:31.180I'm going to be optimistic about that.
00:32:32.740But, Jotep Jesus, as of any of you, he's pointing out that he had claimed early on, and correctly, I think, that the Palestinian protests, the Hamas protests, are really just Black Lives Matter version two.
00:32:50.660And a big part of that is that George Soros is funding both of them.
00:32:57.020So everything goes back to George Soros, doesn't it?
00:33:00.780And I remind you, it's another day where Alex Soros, who allegedly is the one in charge now of the money allocation, has not been on television explaining whether or not his business or his charities funded that.
00:33:19.980How long do we have to go before Alex Soros is on TV being interviewed about any funding that made it through the protesters?
00:33:52.960This is clearly, clearly some kind of Soros and probably Atlantic Council situation.
00:34:01.820I don't know if they intended it to go this way, but there's certainly the funders and the energy behind it, even if it went a way they didn't want it to go.
00:34:09.760I would say that the protest would almost certainly guarantee Trump's re-election unless something weird happens, which could.
00:34:33.100Let's say you're an organization and you want to protest Israel.
00:34:38.940And in the process of doing that, you realize you're also going to be effectively protesting against American Jews and Israeli Jews.
00:34:51.120So the public isn't going to be too discerning.
00:34:54.940Like we get it that it's really about the government of Israel.
00:34:58.920But when you start blocking Jewish students from getting into their own college that they're paying for, it doesn't look like it's about the government of Israel anymore.
00:35:45.700Let me paint you a picture of the long run.
00:35:49.820And this is going to make you laugh when you realize what's happening.
00:35:53.400You know how we've said that the protesters, although they're weirdly effective at getting a lot of attention, and they've even got some concessions.
00:36:03.980Do you know how we keep saying that they're really stupid?
00:36:07.860Like actually, they're just a bunch of stupid people.
00:36:10.420And that they're young and their brains aren't developed and the people protesting don't even know why they're protesting.
00:36:15.440In fact, every time somebody tries to ask somebody why they're protesting, the young women in particular have no idea.
00:36:24.480They're clearly doing it as a lifestyle, you know, energy, just feelings kind of a thing.
00:36:29.620They don't even know the issues, really.
00:36:35.500But here's the funny thing I realized the other day.
00:36:37.820The protesters have targeted the one group of people in the world who have the highest per capita number of lawyers in their midst of any group in the world.
00:37:49.080But if you look at day one, it looks like Hamas is winning hard, kinetically.
00:37:57.620But then you wait a few months, and Israel has complete control of the situation, and they're demolishing what's left of Gaza, and it will never be the same.
00:38:06.500Whatever it is, it will never be like that again.
00:38:11.080Now, think about the college protests.
00:38:15.960Day one, and for quite a few days after that, it very much looked like the protesters had the upper hand.
00:38:22.480Give me three months, and some of the best legal minds in the country are going to wrap those fuckers up in so much litigation and lawsuits that they'll never work again.
00:38:40.000And their idea about having another one of these protests is going to really change, because the legal ramifications for all of this, not only the administrators of the school, but anybody who participated in it, are going to get sued so hard that it will make the destruction of Gaza look like a Sunday school class.
00:39:05.700Now, I don't think the protesters understood that they attacked the most legally capable group of people on the planet, indeed, in the history of human civilization and in the galaxy.
00:39:20.180It's the strongest entity you could ever go up against on a legal perspective.
00:39:27.100So what you should expect is that the protesters get the upper hand, just like the most did in October 7th, but check back in three months.
00:39:37.140In three months, a lot of people involved in this are going to be really sorry that they were involved, because there will be legal ramifications that will be just crushing, I think.
00:39:48.980So I think that's what's going to happen.
00:40:05.860So Elon Musk was posting, he goes, well, Trump was actually already president for four years, and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler.
00:40:15.680And Musk goes on, in fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress toward peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler's agenda.
00:40:27.480Now, you know, I feel like all the smart people, what I call the Internet dads, are almost always on the same side of everything.
00:42:54.720Now, my problem with it, especially, is it would give people like the ADL too much power to point out somebody being bad.
00:43:04.580And my attention was called to an article in The Nation, a publication, which had a little hit piece on the ADL being bad.
00:43:16.220And it talks about, let's see, earlier this month, a number of former ADL staffers confided to Jewish Currents, I guess that's a publication, quote,
00:43:27.980that in the past months, Greenblatt, he's the head of the ADL, has redirected the ADL's day-to-day work to target pro-Palestine activism rather than focusing on anti-Semitism in American life.
00:43:40.760A shift, they say, seriously undermines the organization's credibility.
00:43:44.300In other words, they're saying that their own leader is not doing the mission that they thought they signed up for, but he's essentially being an operative for Israel.
00:43:57.980And then The Nation goes on, even before the war in Gaza, they had been concerned by many progressive organizations.
00:44:08.340Now, remember, progressives are the Democrats, and progressives should be on the same side as the ADL, you'd think.
00:44:15.900But progressive organizations talked about the legitimacy of the ADL's alarmist claims regarding anti-Semitism.
00:44:23.560And in 2020, more than 100 such groups, including the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Movement for Black Lives, signed a drop the ADL open letter.
00:44:33.500100 progressive organizations signed a letter to get rid of the ADL.
00:44:44.320And it requested that members of the progressive community not partner with the ADL.
00:44:53.020Because it says, quote, the ADL has a, quote, history of ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs.
00:45:02.860And aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence.
00:45:09.700So in other words, the ADL, by, according to its critics, by aligning with Israel, which many of the progressives are anti-Israel, has become the enemy, basically.
00:45:25.260And there's some suggestion that the ADL has acted in the past as an unofficial Israeli spy platform.
00:45:38.360But in effect, if you were just to look at what is the actions and what are the effects of the actions, they act like a proxy for Israel.
00:45:46.840And so I say that you can't have an anti-Semitism awareness act at the same time you have a corrupt organization like the ADL, whose job is to attack people on behalf of Israel, apparently.
00:46:03.340Which Israel, by the way, is not a big backer of them, holistically.
00:47:11.420Joel Pollack is writing about this in Breitbart.
00:47:13.460And the idea is that they would start from scratch.
00:47:21.240So instead of rebuilding Gaza to sort of look like the new version of what it was, they just throw away all the assumptions and just say, all right, here's this blank land.
00:47:33.120Now, apparently there's some gas fields that have been discovered in northern Gaza.
00:47:36.800So they actually have a way to pay with maybe some international help.
00:47:42.380There is a way that they could fund the rebuilding of it.
00:47:44.780But this is what Israel wants it to be rebuilt as.
00:47:50.200They envision a Gaza that's a thriving center for trade and innovation.
00:47:55.700So they're not looking to build it back as good as it was because it wasn't good.
00:48:00.360They're looking to build it back like the best place ever.
00:48:04.700Now, persuasion-wise, this is the right play.
00:48:09.840They absolutely had to create a vision of what it would look like if you just hang in there long enough and do what they say, you know, you could get to this better place.
00:48:18.940Now, there's a question of credibility and is it feasible and all that.
00:48:23.900But it's very good in terms of the psychology of the situation to say that there's some end state that's better than it was, you know, despite all the losses between now and then.
00:48:36.200Now, they say it would be a three-stage process.
00:48:40.860Twelve months of humanitarian aid followed by five to ten years of building it back supervised by Arab states, they say.
00:48:48.360And third, then, once it's built back, there would be something called Palestinian self-rule and participation in the Abraham Accords.
00:49:42.500Does administered by Palestinians mean there's a Palestinian leader, let's say elected leader, and they can do whatever they want because it's their own country?
00:50:00.860Now, I assume, because the only thing that could even make sense, is that the entire security situation would be run entirely by Israel, which means that the leader, whoever the leader of Gaza is, a Palestinian, would be completely a puppet of Israel.
00:50:33.380So when they say it's a Palestinian administration, I think that means picking up the garbage and collecting the taxes and all the little stuff of government.
00:50:43.000I do not think this has anything to do with the security of the place.
00:50:49.500The security will probably be handled separately.
00:50:52.140Now, there might be some way that the security is handled by friendly Arab states.
00:51:00.920So you can imagine a situation where it's not Israel doing all the security.
00:51:05.420Maybe it's Saudi Arabia or somebody that we would trust to have the same economic interests, et cetera.
00:51:13.000So I don't know how practical any of this is or how real Israel thinks it is, but it's certainly a good idea to have it out there as a plan.
00:51:33.480Ladies and gentlemen, this brings me to the conclusion of my prepared remarks.
00:51:37.580I will tell you that if you were reading the Dilbert Reborn comic that you can only get if you're a subscriber on the X platform to my comic or on scottadams.locals.com,
00:51:51.820you would know that Catbert is being accused of being a holodeck denier.
00:52:00.660That's right, a holodeck denier, and it is being reported for it.
