Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2493 CWSA 06⧸02⧸24

00:00:00.000 Um, it's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better day.

00:00:08.760 You know, let me tell you, the omens are all lining up for an amazing, amazing day.

00:00:14.000 Probably the best you've ever seen.

00:00:17.360 Yeah, let's see.

00:00:18.560 There I am.

00:00:21.120 No.

00:00:22.860 Huh.

00:00:23.900 I still don't see the feed.

00:00:25.780 All right, it would be live.

00:00:27.020 That's where it would be.

00:00:28.940 There I am.

00:00:30.940 We're live.

00:00:33.980 Well, if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, human, smooth brains,

00:00:42.340 all you need for that is a cup or mug or glass or tank of gel, stein, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel, but in kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:48.860 I like coffee.

00:00:50.120 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, a thing that makes everything better.

00:00:54.580 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:57.740 And it's going to happen.

00:00:58.940 Now.

00:01:07.500 Powering up.

00:01:09.360 You know what I feel like?

00:01:10.500 I feel so good.

00:01:13.620 I feel like an outlaw.

00:01:17.280 Yeah, that's how good I feel.

00:01:19.220 How am I feeling?

00:01:24.240 Thelonious.

00:01:25.440 Yeah.

00:01:26.360 Thelonious.

00:01:27.480 It's a great feeling.

00:01:28.780 Hmm.

00:01:30.280 Hmm.

00:01:30.700 All right.

00:01:32.920 Let's talk about the news.

00:01:34.320 Today's Dilbert Reborn shows you in the first panel.

00:01:39.240 I posted it on X.

00:01:41.800 You can see that I designed it with AI.

00:01:44.000 So the first panel of the Dilbert comic, I used AI to tell me some interesting camera angles or perspectives for a guy on his computer when a dog walks into the room.

00:01:56.360 Now, AI can't produce my characters because it'll complain about copyright and stuff, but it can give me a generic guy and a generic dog.

00:02:05.640 And then when I have the angle of all the furniture, I just replace them with my characters.

00:02:13.080 So you can see how that worked out.

00:02:14.920 It gave a new angle that I'd never used before.

00:02:17.440 So that's my first, I think, my first real live world repeatable, I'll definitely use it again, AI assist to writing my daily comic.

00:02:31.600 So it's sort of a milestone.

00:02:33.000 Well, apparently there's a Tesla deal that worked out to give Elon Musk his money that they gave him and then took away from him.

00:02:43.800 The courts took away.

00:02:45.580 And the only portion that he would be able to use for five years is to pay the taxes that he would owe if he were to get it right away.

00:02:57.420 So apparently he can't just take the money and run.

00:02:59.740 Some people were worried about that.

00:03:01.140 He'd have to stay there for five years to get his money.

00:03:04.540 So it should make the stockholders a little bit happy if he has to stay there and work for another five years.

00:03:11.160 So we'll see.

00:03:12.200 We hope he gets his money.

00:03:14.060 There's a gigantic Wall Street Journal says there's a huge cost saving technology for making solar panels.

00:03:22.480 Now, you've heard this story a billion times, but this one sounds pretty promising.

00:03:27.140 I didn't realize that China can make solar panels at roughly half the price of an American manufacturer.

00:03:35.780 But with this new technology, it should close that gap a lot.

00:03:39.980 And apparently it's not just theoretical.

00:03:42.180 It looks like it's ready to put into the system.

00:03:46.240 Yeah, I won't get into the technical details, but it reduces the amount of silver they need and makes something thinner than before and would reduce the cost substantially.

00:03:56.820 And I ask you again, which one of the climate models takes into account technical innovations that totally change the curve?

00:04:09.420 None.

00:04:10.020 Because you can't put in a climate model the thing that hasn't been invented yet.

00:04:15.280 And yet we know there'll be tons of things invented between now and, you know, when they imagine the Earth is going to burn up.

00:04:23.860 So if you don't put human invention in your 100-year model, is that credible?

00:04:30.920 Think about how different the world is in any 20-year period.

00:04:37.040 You know, it's the difference between AI and no AI, computers and no computers, smartphones and no smartphones.

00:04:44.620 20 years is a long time.

00:04:46.740 So these climate models are absurd in leaving out probably the biggest variable.

00:04:52.220 I mean, you think if you're looking at climate change, the biggest variable is the CO2 or the sun or the ocean.

00:05:01.160 But probably the biggest variable is human innovation.

00:05:04.620 It's not even in the model.

00:05:06.720 Right?

00:05:07.860 Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the models assume that we don't innovate for the rest of humankind.

00:05:14.980 We just sort of die.

00:05:18.440 All right.

00:05:19.860 So that's happening.

00:05:20.860 Here's the scariest, coolest thing.

00:05:24.940 There's a Swiss startup that has made a computer and a brain organoids.

00:05:30.640 Now, I don't know what an organoid is, but I'm going to guess it's something like an artificial brain that they built in a Petri dish or a tube or something.

00:05:39.620 So I don't think it came from a human, I hope.

00:05:44.240 You know, maybe the cells did or something.

00:05:46.240 But they now have, in the real world, apparently you can connect to this thing if you're paying them.

00:05:55.440 And it consumes a million times less power than regular digital processors.

00:06:01.520 And it's fast.

00:06:05.360 Let me say that again.

00:06:08.020 There will be a data center, this is already real, by the way, this is not speculative.

00:06:16.920 This is today functioning.

00:06:20.100 There's human brain parts that they've somehow connected to a digital interface, and they use the human brain part to do the calculating at one million times less power than regular stuff.

00:06:36.060 Do you think there's any way that if it works and it can be reproduced, that it does work as though it's already up and running?

00:06:45.320 So if it can be reproduced at a scale, who in the world is going to pay for regular computing when you can have computing at a million times less power?

00:06:55.140 We are building a human brain slash cyborg, the Borg, I don't know.

00:07:05.040 It's super cool, but also super whoa, because you don't know what could go wrong.

00:07:12.100 Wait a minute.

00:07:13.280 How many ways could it go wrong if we start building human brain organoid computers? 0.97

00:07:19.620 I don't know.

00:07:21.000 I guess it raises questions.

00:07:23.120 I'm not afraid of it per se.

00:07:25.140 But it raises a lot of questions.

00:07:27.780 Well, NASA had to once again delay.

00:07:30.460 It's an astronaut crewed flight of what would be the Boeing Starliner's, I think, first flight with astronauts.

00:07:40.180 And I didn't see the reason that the flight was scrubbed, but I have a theory.

00:07:46.480 It's a Boeing Starliner.

00:07:49.140 And I think the problem is, you know how jurors sometimes are sequestered?

00:07:54.840 Yeah.

00:07:55.120 If the jury is going to go home, sometimes the judge will say, oh, you can't go home.

00:07:59.600 You have to stay away from any influence.

00:08:02.760 Because you don't want them reading the news.

00:08:05.040 They might act differently.

00:08:06.540 The jurors, if they read the news, you want them to stick to just the trial data.

00:08:10.120 And I'm starting to think that the astronauts for the Boeing Starliner, maybe they should have been sequestered for the last month to maybe not see any news about Boeing's quality control lately.

00:08:27.860 So I worry that the reason it's delayed is that the astronauts were watching the news and said, I think I've got a cold or something.

00:08:41.300 I'm not sure I can go.

00:08:43.740 Oh, oh, my arm.

00:08:45.840 Something's going wrong here.

00:08:46.960 I'll never be able to control it.

00:08:48.360 Maybe you'd better use the backup.

00:08:50.760 I don't know.

00:08:51.640 I'm just joking.

00:08:52.540 All right.

00:08:54.960 Did you know that China's labor costs are about double that of Philippines, Malaysia, India, Thailand, and Vietnam?

00:09:02.720 I'll tell you, you think that the United States has trouble?

00:09:09.120 You think we have problems?

00:09:10.800 We do.

00:09:12.560 But how would you like to be China?

00:09:14.580 And your entire situation depends on manufacturing, because it's the backbone of the economy.

00:09:21.120 And you're twice as expensive as the alternatives.

00:09:24.600 And everybody has a gigantic incentive to get their business out of there.

00:09:30.500 What are they going to do?

00:09:32.720 Now, besides the fact that these countries have half the cost, and presumably they're building up some infrastructure so they can be serious competitors to China.

00:09:43.580 But I also haven't heard about Mexico.

00:09:46.460 I don't know what the cost of labor is in Mexico compared to China. 0.95

00:09:50.460 And I also don't know what's going to happen with robots.

00:09:53.940 Because if we're making these much cheaper solar panels, and then we get rid of the labor,

00:10:02.720 by putting robots in the factories.

00:10:05.820 So you use a manufacturing process that drops the price by, I don't know, half.

00:10:10.720 And then you put in robots that take another 25% off the price, or something like that.

00:10:15.900 I'll tell you that if there's a way to invest in solar, I'm not recommending you invest in it, because I don't make recommendations for investments.

00:10:28.860 But it does seem like maybe there's something that's going to happen here that can be gigantic.

00:10:34.680 You don't really think of robots influencing energy, except to use it.

00:10:40.720 You know, they use a lot of energy.

00:10:41.820 But they're going to be building the solar panels, and the solar plants, and the solar everything, and probably the nuclear power plants, too, soon.

00:10:52.020 All right.

00:10:52.520 So there's a story that we don't know what the real story is.

00:10:56.160 But Alex Jones is going through something that looks bad.

00:11:00.340 Now, he's saying that the feds came to his door, and they were trying to lock him out and take all of his stuff and close him down.

00:11:10.580 But he was also acting, let's say, I'm going to say emotional.

00:11:15.940 If it were somebody I didn't like, I would use other words.

00:11:19.740 But since I like him, you know, he was nice to me.

00:11:25.280 He's had me on the show.

00:11:26.740 And when somebody is nice to me in person, I can't really just go in public and then trash him.

00:11:32.920 I'm just not built that way.

00:11:34.980 So because I've met him in person, and he was very generous to me, I'll say that he's having an emotional reaction that we don't quite understand.

00:11:45.520 Some people say it's mental health.

00:11:47.540 Some people say it's substance.

00:11:49.800 Some people say it's both.

00:11:51.080 Some people say it's an op.

00:11:52.800 Some people say, and I think his staff has backed him up, by the way.

00:11:57.540 His staff is on the same page.

00:12:00.200 So it's not just him.

00:12:02.100 Whatever is going on, his staff seems to have witnessed as well.

00:12:06.160 So I don't know who these feds were or what exactly they were trying to do, except that it's in the context of everybody who is pro-Trump getting a hit.

00:12:15.660 So I don't know what's going on, but keep an eye on it.

00:12:21.820 He may need some help in any variety of ways.

00:12:26.140 We don't know what the problem is, but he's clearly in a crisis situation.

00:12:29.660 And so if you have any interest in either his operation or him as a human being, have a little bit of empathy and keep an eye on that.

00:12:44.480 Maybe this way he can help one way or another.

00:12:47.660 All right.

00:12:47.940 Mexico, here's a story that snuck up on me.

00:12:54.500 Imagine finding this out today.

00:12:56.960 This is kind of mind-blowing.

00:12:59.760 The next president of Mexico is likely to be a Jewish woman. 0.95

00:13:05.900 Is this the first time you're hearing that?

00:13:08.360 I heard it today.

00:13:10.080 So apparently they're having an election.

00:13:12.720 The sitting president can't run again.

00:13:14.820 They have one-term president, six years.

00:13:19.000 And the mentor, somebody who's worked closely with the current president, so he's recommending her, and that's the reason she's getting her push.

00:13:28.200 Claudia Scheinbaum, a Jewish woman with a Ph.D. in energy engineering.

00:13:35.200 That's about as perfect as you can get, isn't it?

00:13:37.800 How would you like to be the president of Mexico?

00:13:42.520 You're coming in with a Ph.D. in energy engineering, but it gets better.

00:13:48.620 She's bilingual.

00:13:50.340 She used to live in the Bay Area.

00:13:54.300 She used to live in the Bay Area.

00:13:56.280 She's bilingual.

00:13:57.900 The current president of Mexico is not bilingual.

00:14:01.080 Do you think that makes a difference?

00:14:03.700 Hell yes.

00:14:04.620 Hell yes.

00:14:07.740 Language is the big uniter.

00:14:12.300 If you can talk to somebody in the same language, it's a whole different experience.

00:14:17.500 That's how you bond.

00:14:18.580 You don't really bond with Putin if he can't speak your language or she.

00:14:23.980 But wouldn't it be nice to have somebody we could work with in the same language who's a Ph.D. in energy engineering?

00:14:32.660 Now, we all assume that the cartels have undue influence on the governments, so there's that.

00:14:41.320 But are you also surprised that Mexico would be even considering, apparently she's way ahead in the polls.

00:14:47.220 It looks like it's a lock.

00:14:49.380 Very popular.

00:14:50.460 Did you see a female president of Mexico coming anytime soon? 1.00

00:14:57.660 It's kind of interesting and impressive.

00:15:03.440 And this is the DEI you want.

00:15:07.100 You know what I mean?

00:15:08.580 This is diversity done correctly.

00:15:12.360 As far as I can tell, the only reason she's being considered is that she's overwhelmingly qualified.

00:15:17.960 So how about that?

00:15:21.560 How about just being overwhelmingly qualified and then getting the top job?

00:15:27.740 Okay.

00:15:28.660 I'm good with that.

00:15:30.400 So at least on paper, she looks like exactly the person that America would want in that job as well as the Mexicans. 0.98

00:15:36.640 So maybe something good's coming out of that.

00:15:38.240 And there is talk that Mexico's going to have an economic boom like you've never seen before.

00:15:46.200 Because remember, the manufacturing is moving toward it.

00:15:49.360 That's a good sign.

00:15:50.600 And they've got some major infrastructure things like maybe a railroad and some other stuff that will connect the resorts

00:15:57.500 and turn it into more of a well-engineered destination.

00:16:01.180 So all that's happening.

00:16:04.300 If the cartels don't derail things, there's something good that could happen.

00:16:11.160 Now, I've said this before, but here's what I think is the only hope for living with Mexico. 1.00

00:16:21.120 I'm seeing somebody mocking me for, quote, believing in solar.

00:16:25.420 Let's pretend that you know what you're talking about.

00:16:33.880 Now, did you think I was unaware that there's a waste problem?

00:16:38.300 Of course there is.

00:16:40.240 Of course there is.

00:16:41.180 Am I unaware that people are not good at calculating the relative cost and benefits in the future of different technological options?

00:16:51.260 I used to do that work.

00:16:52.980 I know it can't be done.

00:16:54.020 It used to be my job to calculate expenses in the future.

00:16:59.160 You can't really do that.

00:17:00.380 It was my job, but I couldn't do it.

00:17:02.800 Nobody can do it.

00:17:04.400 So do I think that, do I know what the economics of solar power will be next year?

00:17:10.580 No, I don't.

00:17:12.420 But do you know what I do know? 0.99

00:17:15.400 That the person who is mocking me, you don't fucking know. 1.00

00:17:19.060 No, you're an idiot who thinks you know the expenses of technologies you've never been involved with because you read a fucking article somewhere. 1.00

00:17:29.720 Right. 1.00

00:17:30.160 I'm smart enough to know that I don't know what will be the competing cost structures 20 years from now, which is what you have to think about, right?

00:17:38.860 It's not what it is today.

00:17:40.840 It's if you start a project.

00:17:42.880 What does your nuclear power plant cost in 10 years when you're done with it?

00:17:47.440 You know, what does your solar plant and your gigafactory or your giga storage thing?

00:17:53.080 What does it cost in 10 or 20 years?

00:17:55.400 Nobody knows that.

00:17:56.260 If you think you know it, dear troll commenter, well, you're the smartest person in the world, according to you, because you know what can't be known. 0.67

00:18:08.340 Good for you.

00:18:09.840 Did you know about the story about the technology that would lower the cost of solar?

00:18:14.680 Did you read that this morning before I did?

00:18:19.020 All right.

00:18:19.740 Enough about you.

00:19:22.280 Tucker Carlson's being really outspoken on his video recently said nothing is ever about our safety and that all the big political stuff is, you know, clearly about the interests of the people in power.

00:19:39.900 He said this country and the world only changes when we eliminate the CIA.

00:19:44.840 It'll take someone willing to be assassinated.

00:19:47.320 He gives examples.

00:19:52.380 He said, you open the southern border to anyone who wants to come in.

00:19:55.620 You're not checking IDs.

00:19:57.260 You're not doing any kind of biometrics.

00:19:59.460 You're not even screening for COVID.

00:20:01.880 So clearly you don't care about my safety.

00:20:05.120 Check.

00:20:06.300 Check.

00:20:07.480 Check.

00:20:08.320 Correct.

00:20:08.720 Yes.

00:20:09.720 There is no evidence that the people in power of our country are interested in the well-being of the citizens.

00:20:16.600 There is plenty of evidence, the open border, that they're operating against our interests for reasons we don't quite understand.

00:20:25.820 I don't understand it.

00:20:27.140 We'll talk about more of that later.

00:20:28.740 But he's saying directly that the CIA has to be canceled completely.

00:20:35.340 I saw an ex-CIA operative, agent, whatever you want to call him, also on Tucker's show, saying that when Trump was the president, he didn't use the CIA as much as he used private intelligence people to tell them what was going on.

00:20:53.120 Why would he do that?

00:20:54.520 Why would you pay somebody to do the job of the CIA when the CIA is already being paid, and therefore it's free, you know, on an incremental basis?

00:21:07.540 Why would you do that?

00:21:09.140 I can only think of one reason, that the president of the United States did not think that the CIA was on the same side as he was.

00:21:17.940 In other words, Trump, the person who knew the most about the CIA while in office, had the most access, didn't believe that he could trust them with the security of the United States.

00:21:32.880 You have to eliminate them under that situation.

00:21:35.500 If a sitting president doesn't think they're even on the same side, not even on the same side, you can't live with that.

00:21:47.740 So if you can buy these services on the open market and you don't trust the ones in the government, there is an argument for eliminating the CIA.

00:21:58.180 And it's strong.

00:22:00.960 You know, you'd have to hear the other side, and I'm not sure they can tell the other side because it'd be full of secrets.

00:22:06.720 But is there a surface-y argument that says getting rid of the CIA, the most, that's a pretty radical thing to do.

00:22:14.240 Is there an argument for it?

00:22:15.860 Yeah, there is.

00:22:17.640 You know, there was a time when the CIA was, you know, overthrowing governments and doing all kinds of things to help America control the world.

00:22:26.900 And you could have, at that time, said, I don't like America doing all these other things in other countries, so I don't like the CIA.

00:22:36.200 But there would have been a good argument to keep them.

00:22:39.700 Because the, let me make the Machiavellian power argument here.

00:22:44.960 Wouldn't it be nice if the United States left all the other countries alone and left them to pursue their best interests for their people until they become thriving democracies and the allies of us in the future, once they have used their own free will and their own resources to become an independent country that could be like a strong ally for us?

00:23:10.520 No, not in the real world.

00:23:13.480 In the real world, if we didn't take them over, somebody else would have, right?

00:23:17.740 China would have taken them over. 0.98

00:23:19.040 Because whoever has money can control any small entity, whether it's a country, a politician, or another country.

00:23:29.720 Yeah, any other country.

00:23:31.040 So it doesn't take much money to overthrow a country.

00:23:34.940 You just bribe the right people and there you go.

00:23:37.580 Maybe you could bribe 50 people to overthrow any country.

00:23:43.240 And they're probably all bribable.

00:23:45.860 So, you know, the levers are there for controlling other countries.

00:23:51.980 But here's my argument, the Machiavellian argument for the CIA. 0.99

00:23:56.240 They might be complete bastards who are doing terrible things to other countries every day. 0.97

00:24:04.160 But if they didn't, what would happen? 1.00

00:24:06.860 Somebody else would.

00:24:08.660 And then we would be surrounded by countries that, let's say, China had a lot of control over.

00:24:15.040 That's no good.

00:24:15.820 So, the thing is that the worst, or best, let me say the best criminal wins.

00:24:24.680 We don't live in a world where there's good versus evil.

00:24:28.000 There's just evil versus evil at the government level.

00:24:32.080 Humans tend to be closer to good.

00:24:35.480 You know, if you leave them alone, they're more likely to be good to each other.

00:24:38.340 Because we're sort of tribal.

00:24:40.580 We grew up that way.

00:24:42.000 But countries are evil.

00:24:44.080 As soon as you have a country, it's probably corrupt, no matter who it is.

00:24:50.180 So, maybe the strongest criminal organization is the one you want to be with.

00:24:57.400 The strongest criminal organization.

00:24:59.700 At the moment, America appears to be the strongest criminal organization, which might be your safest situation in a historical sense.

00:25:11.460 Historically, you just wanted to be in the strongest country, and it didn't matter why they were the strongest, right?

00:25:16.420 Don't you think you were safer being a Roman citizen when Rome was at its peak without supporting that Rome were good guys?

00:25:26.040 They weren't good guys, but it was probably the safest place to live in those times, you know, to be a Roman citizen. 0.92

00:25:33.140 So, we're sort of the Roman citizens, it feels like to me.

00:25:36.600 So, yes, there's an argument that the CIA works against our interests, but I'd like to hear the counterargument.

00:25:43.780 I just don't know anybody can make it, because you'd have to say what I said.

00:25:47.700 Yeah, we're kind of criminals.

00:25:49.060 We do terrible things every single day.

00:25:51.180 You wouldn't even want to know what we're doing in your name.

00:25:53.580 But it keeps you safer, because we're the best criminals.

00:25:57.720 That might be the argument.

00:25:59.780 And I could be convinced by that.

00:26:02.340 I hate it.

00:26:03.740 But it's a world in which sometimes your best choice is also terrible.

00:26:09.320 Don't know.

00:26:11.920 All right.

00:26:12.260 Well, but keep in mind that Tucker's father was in the CIA, I believe.

00:26:18.080 And he often thinks that, I mean, he has a good window into that world.

00:26:26.840 So, I take his opinion seriously. 0.87

00:26:31.640 Oh, trolls. 1.00

00:26:34.760 Being really extra stupid in public is not hurting me. 1.00

00:26:39.840 It's just amusing me. 1.00

00:26:44.060 Yeah, it's just amusing me.

00:26:46.400 So, thanks. 0.95

00:26:47.380 Say some more really dumb things about the future of technology to entertain the rest of the commenters. 1.00

00:26:53.360 They would like to see your stupidity in full flower. 1.00

00:26:57.600 So, say some more irrational things, please. 1.00

00:27:01.360 All right.

00:27:03.040 So, let's talk about the hoaxocracy.

00:27:05.080 As you know, the Biden campaign is built entirely on hoaxes, from the fine people hoax to the Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters hoax and lots more drinking bleach.

00:27:16.400 It's one hoax after another.

00:27:17.700 And the Biden-Harris headquarters, the X account, said, four years ago today, Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters outside the White House.

00:27:32.480 Well, it took about a minute before Joel Pollack fact-checked them hard.

00:27:38.400 And, nope.

00:27:40.120 That was all debunked by sources that Democrats trust as well as Republicans.

00:27:46.160 So, why is it that the campaign can be so blatant about something that's been fact-checked and very clearly didn't happen?

00:27:58.100 I mean, absolutely did not happen.

00:28:00.440 And it's well known.

00:28:02.580 Their audience is so under-informed that they really don't know.

00:28:09.000 They can't tell the difference.

00:28:10.500 The other possibility is that the Biden campaign doesn't know the difference.

00:28:16.160 Now, you like to tell yourself, of course they know it's a lie, but they know it works, so they're going to say it anyway.

00:28:24.100 I'm not so sure.

00:28:26.260 I'm not so sure.

00:28:27.640 I think that the Biden-Harris campaign is so DEI crippled that the level of incompetence there, you can't really assume that it's normal.

00:28:38.800 It's probably extraordinary.

00:28:39.880 And if you're new to my commentary, let me quickly add, we're not talking about anybody's genes or culture.

00:28:49.520 That's not in the conversation about DEI.

00:28:52.400 DEI is a system.

00:28:54.200 It's not a person.

00:28:56.180 It's not a person.

00:28:57.900 It's a system.

00:28:58.600 And the system moves people around like little chess players, and there aren't enough chess players for what they need to do.

00:29:08.980 So they meet their diversity targets, whether they have qualified candidates or not, because humans always meet the targets that they're measured on and their performance is judged upon.

00:29:19.800 And that's a big thing they're judged on.

00:29:23.100 So if you assume that DEI as a system is guaranteed to fail because the pipeline of qualified people would be smaller than the demand, forcing them to take lesser and lesser qualified people just to meet their diversity goals.

00:29:40.660 And if you assume that Democrats don't have an option, they have to be diverse.

00:29:46.080 It's their brand.

00:29:46.980 So they're forced to be diverse, but they're demonstrating to the rest of the world through what I would consider the most incompetent administration of all time and the most incompetent campaign and the most incompetent spokesperson.

00:30:02.980 And all of those things are permeated with DEI hires, which if they were qualified to do their jobs, you would see a better job.

00:30:13.580 I'm not talking about one thing that I'm criticizing that did.

00:30:16.980 There's a pervasive incompetence in the current government like we've never really seen before.

00:30:23.820 And the campaign is so obviously incompetent and they're so obviously backing the wrong guy that this is sort of a...

00:30:34.560 The Biden campaign is basically your canary in the coal mine for every corporation, right?

00:30:41.540 They just got to diversity faster because they're so public, they really had to.

00:30:47.200 Companies are also trying to go as fast as they can, but you can see what happens when you get to DEI diversity goals when you have a limited pipeline of qualified people.

00:31:01.460 Again, because of systemic racism at the school level, just not producing enough diverse candidates.

00:31:08.900 So, yeah, the hoax campaign and the DEI incompetence should bring down the whole house in a few months.

00:31:21.040 I'm expecting a complete demolition of the Biden campaign.

00:31:27.680 I think we're close to the point where the whole thing's just going to come off the rails in a way we've never seen before.

00:31:36.280 Maybe a whistleblower.

00:31:37.640 We'll see.

00:31:38.740 I was watching a body language expert look at the two faces of Biden because that's sort of becoming a thing. 1.00

00:31:45.440 And the one face is his angry troll face that looks like a cat's asshole all puckered up. 0.99

00:31:54.180 You know, you know, like, ooh, his face is all squeezed like all of his face meets his nose, you know, one little puckered place. 0.99

00:32:03.660 And then you see his wide-eyed open vessel.

00:32:06.720 So he's got the demon look where he looks demon-possessed.

00:32:09.840 And then in the same talk sometimes, he'll have the empty vessel where his eyes are wide open and his mouth is forming that Hillary Clinton looking at balloons dropping.

00:32:23.220 And you say to yourself, how in the world is that the same person?

00:32:27.620 And we still don't know.

00:32:30.960 I love the fact that he's clearly two different people.

00:32:34.640 I mean, I think it's the same organic person, but there's something that causes him to be a different personality, so much so he doesn't even look the same, not even a little bit.

00:32:45.360 I mean, you can generally recognize it's Biden, but you'd think it's a different person if they stood next to each other.

00:32:53.340 So here are the possibilities.

00:32:55.680 One is drugs.

00:32:57.700 One is mental illness.

00:33:00.480 One is some kind of a deep fake thing, but I don't think so.

00:33:04.640 And one is maybe there's something about editing.

00:33:08.180 For example, you've seen all the quick edits they've done on his videos.

00:33:13.160 Could it be that they have to take so much time off between edits that he takes a nap and just recovers and he wakes up and his eyes are open and he's the morning version?

00:33:26.440 Could it be that we're seeing morning Joe?

00:33:29.180 Hey, morning Joe.

00:33:30.300 Get it?

00:33:30.960 Could it be that when we see morning Joe, he's a little bit more lucid and that when we see, you know, evening Joe, that he's declined into his dementia, yelling, puckered face?

00:33:46.640 Something like that.

00:33:47.600 Whatever is going on is really bad.

00:33:50.120 It's not good.

00:33:51.960 Whatever it is.

00:33:55.180 All right.

00:33:55.800 I can't wait for the first interview with the imaginary Republican who's not going to vote for Trump because the lawfare got him.

00:34:07.300 Have any of you met that person yet?

00:34:10.260 I mean, I'm being told often and reliably by all the polls that people have decided that since Trump got convicted by an unfair trial, that therefore they're not going to vote for him.

00:34:23.820 So we're all waiting to see the person, right?

00:34:28.200 You know where I think that person is?

00:34:31.460 I don't know, but I think the imaginary Republican who's not going to vote for Trump because of lawfare could be hanging out and partying with the black American voter who didn't know how to get an ID.

00:34:43.940 I think they're together because we can't find either one of them and I think maybe they're helping each other hide.

00:34:52.780 So somewhere, maybe in cabins, possibly, possibly in the mountains where the mega supremacists are gathering their imaginary armies.

00:35:01.960 So it could be that the imaginary mega supremacist armies that are in the hills are creating a sanctuary for the imaginary Republicans who say they won't vote for Trump, but maybe also I'd like to say that they're diverse and that they've included the black Americans who want to vote and know enough about the world that they think voting makes sense, yet can't figure out how to get an ID.

00:35:30.800 Yeah, we know they exist.

00:36:00.800 The platform is imaginary.

00:36:03.600 All the hoaxes are imaginary.

00:36:06.980 All the data that they give us about their current performance, completely imaginary.

00:36:12.900 They say they're controlling the border, everything's fine.

00:36:16.520 That's imaginary.

00:36:18.360 What about our money that they're spending?

00:36:20.640 Is Biden spending real money?

00:36:23.420 Not anymore.

00:36:24.380 When you have $35 trillion in debt, whatever it is that you're spending is imaginary.

00:36:33.360 Because whoever lent it to you, they ain't getting it back.

00:36:37.540 So we've got an imaginary economy, imaginary data.

00:36:44.620 We've got real problems that they imagine are not.

00:36:48.200 They've got an imaginary Trump who's in their imagination, tried to take over on January 6th, and they imagine that he would do it again, even though he never did it.

00:37:00.360 They think he'll do again the thing he never did once.

00:37:04.060 So we have imaginary policies, imaginary people, imaginary Trump in the future, imaginary data.

00:37:11.720 Do Republicans do that?

00:37:17.320 Could you reverse the argument and say, oh, Scott, I see your point, but look at all the imaginary things that the Republicans believe.

00:37:27.720 Now, maybe you would go after religion if you were not religious.

00:37:32.760 You'd say, oh, they believe in the imaginary stuff.

00:37:35.860 But is it imaginary to think that your nine-month-old fetus is sort of alive?

00:37:46.120 Is that imaginary?

00:37:48.320 That doesn't seem imaginary.

00:37:49.880 You could differ on, you know, what you think about it or what the law should be, but it's not imaginary, right?

00:37:59.460 The debt is not imaginary.

00:38:01.080 The lawfare is not imaginary.

00:38:02.780 Even CNN analysts are saying it's real.

00:38:06.820 So here's what I think has happened.

00:38:11.740 I think the Democrats sort of tiptoed into the imaginary world, and it worked.

00:38:18.160 Because they can control the press, for at least their base, they can tell them literally anything.

00:38:27.100 And once they realize that you can tell them anything, and the actual reality won't make any difference, because they also control the fact-checkers,

00:38:35.080 they realize that going fully imaginary is a better strategy.

00:38:40.500 And I agree, by the way, it's a better strategy, because they don't have anything of substance.

00:38:46.560 Trump has substance.

00:38:48.920 He can say, you see all that crime?

00:38:52.240 I'm going to do the normal things that people normally do to get less of it.

00:38:56.600 Is that imaginary?

00:38:58.200 I don't think so.

00:38:59.940 Seems pretty real.

00:39:01.120 He says he's going to negotiate with Putin and Zelensky to end the war.

00:39:05.780 Now, it might be hard, but is it imaginary?

00:39:11.380 It's not imaginary.

00:39:12.480 And the entire reason we're in Ukraine.

00:39:16.520 Do you think the government told you the real reason that we're in Ukraine?

00:39:20.180 No.

00:39:20.740 They gave you an imaginary reason.

00:39:23.080 The imaginary reason is that Putin's going to roll up Russia, or that Putin's going to roll up Europe if he gets Ukraine.

00:39:29.920 You know, with no regard to the fact that some of us know the history of Ukraine, and that, as Mike Benz can explain better, that the whole thing looks like an energy play between two criminal organizations.

00:39:43.180 One United States and the other Russia. 0.96

00:39:45.740 And basically, it's like we're stealing their drug stash so we can sell it ourselves, their energy.

00:39:54.480 That's a better way to look at it.

00:39:56.520 So, I can't think of anything the Democrats are doing that isn't imaginary.

00:40:01.540 Because once you realize that your imaginary case will always be stronger than the real world one, why would you ever use the real world?

00:40:11.140 It's unnecessary.

00:40:12.680 They've actually found a way to depart from all reality without paying for it.

00:40:19.260 It's free.

00:40:19.960 Because as long as their press keeps backing them, their own people will never go read Breitbart.

00:40:28.040 You know, the Democrats will never, you know, go over to Fox News just to see what the other people say.

00:40:35.020 Although, surprisingly, Fox News does have a lot of Democrat viewers.

00:40:38.760 But I feel like they might be conservatives.

00:40:59.580 Let's go on to some more.

00:41:02.180 This is going to get better as I go, by the way.

00:41:05.140 I've organized my materials so that I'm going to reach a crescendo.

00:41:10.440 So, don't leave before the crescendo.

00:41:12.800 That'd be crazy.

00:41:14.580 All right.

00:41:15.380 So, Disgrace DA Elvin Bragg.

00:41:17.540 Like, I like just using disgraced in front of everything.

00:41:24.580 All right.

00:41:27.160 So, there seems to be a whole bunch of trolls on YouTube.

00:41:30.640 All the behavior of social media looks suspicious now.

00:41:37.100 You know, like, I don't believe that the trolls are organic anymore.

00:41:40.940 At least not during the election season.

00:41:43.240 They're really active.

00:41:44.900 And they're yelling.

00:41:45.900 Well, they're yelling imaginary things.

00:41:47.480 So, the trolls are literally saying imaginary things about me to try to, you know, embarrass me on my own live stream.

00:41:56.280 Let's see.

00:41:56.940 Who would do that?

00:41:58.580 Imaginary things.

00:42:00.480 What group of people really, really, really love imaginary stuff?

00:42:06.600 That's probably exactly what you think it is.

00:42:11.240 All right.

00:42:14.140 So, here's something I didn't know about Elvin Bragg.

00:42:17.120 He went to Harvard.

00:42:20.260 Are you telling me that all the times that people have been ripping on Elvin Bragg, nobody thought to mock him for having a degree from Harvard?

00:42:28.120 Come on, people.

00:42:31.240 Improve your game.

00:42:33.280 It's not for me to help you avoid these mistakes.

00:42:38.600 No, it's funny.

00:42:40.300 It's funny you went to Harvard.

00:42:42.020 Now, to be fair, not recently.

00:42:47.660 So, maybe he went to Harvard back when it made a difference what your credentials were.

00:42:52.540 If he had just graduated from Harvard, I would be saying, you know, D, I, higher, because, you know, Harvard's become ridiculous about their standards.

00:43:04.880 But maybe when he was there, it was closer to, you know, he belonged there.

00:43:09.460 So, I don't know.

00:43:10.280 I'm not going to say he didn't belong in Harvard, because there was a time when Harvard was at least a little bit credible.

00:43:16.020 But according to my digital creature from Amazon, whose name I don't want to say out loud, because I'll trigger it, he has a net worth of $41 million.

00:43:32.680 But I didn't see that explained.

00:43:35.600 Do you think it's true?

00:43:36.920 So, first of all, I don't know it's true.

00:43:39.440 It's just coming from, you know, the digital assistant.

00:43:42.560 So, somebody could have put wrong information on there.

00:43:44.820 But, is he independently wealthy?

00:43:50.420 And how?

00:43:52.180 So, I guess I would ask for a fact check on that.

00:43:54.740 I do not assert that to be true.

00:43:57.000 Just to be clear, I do not assert that it's true.

00:44:00.980 But it's on at least one source of information.

00:44:04.680 So, I'm curious about that.

00:44:05.840 Did you know that Michigan, they were looking at a law to make it harder to cheat?

00:44:12.940 But the Democrats had the advantage, and they passed laws to make it easier to cheat.

00:44:19.400 Right.

00:44:19.840 It's 2024, and in Michigan, the state, the Democrats unanimously passed legislation that would make it easier to cheat, not harder.

00:44:32.160 Can you think of a reason why they do that?

00:44:38.040 Do you think they're planning on an imaginary election?

00:44:41.960 Where you imagine that you knew the results, but really you don't?

00:44:47.220 Well, that's what I'd worry about.

00:44:48.620 That was from the Gateway Pundit, they're reporting.

00:44:54.700 Also, Gateway Pundit is saying that there's some poll of Arab American voters, and Biden is way off in his popularity.

00:45:05.360 He had a 60% Arab American vote in 2020, but he's down to about 20% support.

00:45:12.020 Now, I don't think the Arab American community is big enough that it's going to move the election, but wow. 0.97

00:45:20.560 I think it's one more sign of complete collapse.

00:45:24.440 I don't think we realize how close the Democrat Party is to total collapse, because until it happens, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

00:45:34.140 Nothing happens until something happens.

00:45:36.220 So, I feel like the major tentpole holding up the Democrats is really creaky right now, and if that one cracks, the rest go.

00:45:48.140 Do you know what the tentpole is that holds up the entire Democrat Party?

00:45:53.780 It's the fine people hoax.

00:45:55.400 If the fine people hoax can be debunked so that Democrats can see it in a way that's credible, that takes everything away.

00:46:08.080 And the fact that the Republicans don't go after that, basically just people like me, pundits do, I never really understood that.

00:46:16.100 Anyway, Tim Poole abruptly cut his own live stream, because he had Laura Loomer as a guest, and Laura Loomer was talking about getting back at Democrats, and that there's enough crimes there that if Trump got back in office, there would be a number of people who should be dealt with with the legal process.

00:46:41.420 However, I think her rhetoric reached a point where Tim Poole's entire show was probably at risk if he didn't pull it down himself.

00:46:56.060 So, I'm going to give Tim Poole a big, a big compliment.

00:47:03.120 Nicely done.

00:47:05.080 Nicely done.

00:47:06.040 So, I'll tell you in softer words what Laura Loomer said so that I also don't get canceled, right?

00:47:13.540 So, Laura Loomer said that the level of the criminal behavior, consistent with the laws on the books for treason, might go to the level of the death penalty.

00:47:30.500 Now, here's the problem.

00:47:31.960 If you were to say, hey, people might be guilty of certain crimes, here's why we think they are, the penalty for that could be the death penalty, it should be on the table, that's okay, because you're just talking about the law.

00:47:47.060 Here's what I think is too far, and let's see if you would have spotted it, because Tim Poole did, so he's good at this, right?

00:47:54.980 If you say, let's get a list of names of people, and then before you've tried them, you say, we want to kill these people, then you sort of become Alvin Bragg yourself.

00:48:10.860 You hear what I'm saying?

00:48:11.600 You don't want to start with a person, and then talk about the death penalty, unless you've really had a lot of conversations in a court case that's, you know, credible about those charges.

00:48:25.460 But it's real dangerous to go full Fonnie Willis, or who was it, Letitia James, and say you're running for office to get Trump.

00:48:34.820 That's too far.

00:48:37.940 Somehow she's not paying for that, but it's way too far.

00:48:41.140 So Tim Poole, I think very smartly and very decisively, said, oh, shoot, she just gave YouTube a predicate to cancel my whole channel, and I'm not going to die on this hill.

00:48:58.220 It wasn't even my opinion.

00:49:00.080 This was a guest's opinion.

00:49:01.860 So, nice move.

00:49:05.360 Nice move, Tim Poole.

00:49:07.180 Because the information still gets out, you know, the social media picks it up, but he reduces his risk on YouTube, and he lives to fight again.

00:49:17.100 Totally respect for that.

00:49:19.160 Nicely played.

00:49:20.400 Good decision-making, and I don't think you could have played that better.

00:49:26.740 And, you know, I don't mind that Laura Loomer has her opinion, so it's not about her opinion.

00:49:32.120 I think that part was fine.

00:49:33.460 It's just, you don't want to give YouTube, you know, this fresh bash of red meat to cancel you, because you know they want to.

00:49:41.000 You know they want to cancel Tim Poole.

00:49:43.760 So, well played.

00:49:46.160 Jonathan Turley, still, you know, national treasure, talking about any of the legal elements of politics.

00:49:55.480 So, he talks about the fact that, you know, the whole situation where the government or the Republicans are trying to get a hold of the audio that they only have the transcript of, of Biden doing his testimony to her, it's UR.

00:50:13.720 And, of course, the Democrats say, hey, you have the transcript, that's good enough.

00:50:19.900 And then the Republicans say, yeah, but we don't trust the transcript.

00:50:25.460 We think he might have edited it, and it might be way worse than the transcript shows.

00:50:30.760 And we have a right to know, because if Biden is not capable, it's got to be a 25th Amendment situation.

00:50:39.040 So, they definitely have a right to know.

00:50:41.900 I completely support their attempt to get that.

00:50:45.760 But listen to, according to Turley, the Justice Department is making a new claim for why they can't release the audio of something they've already released the transcript to.

00:50:59.180 Can you think of any reason why you wouldn't release the audio when they've willingly and already and publicly and everybody's seen it, the transcript?

00:51:07.420 What reason could there be other than it sounds really terrible, like really bad?

00:51:14.020 It must be awful.

00:51:16.100 I'm just guessing.

00:51:17.800 Well, listen to one of the arguments that they just proffered.

00:51:21.460 They say that the audio tape must be withheld.

00:51:25.820 This is from Jonathan Turley.

00:51:27.740 Due to the risk that it could be altered by artificial intelligence and passed off as authentic in a deep fake release.

00:51:36.520 Quote.

00:51:38.380 The passage of time and advancements in audio, artificial intelligence, and deep fake technologies only amplify concerns about malicious manipulation of audio files.

00:51:52.100 Wouldn't that apply to everything that anybody has on audio?

00:51:58.540 I feel like that is such a stretch, such a stretch, that it's almost just laughable.

00:52:10.800 But I'm going to surprise you.

00:52:14.620 It's not a terrible argument.

00:52:17.580 It strikes you as immediately absurd.

00:52:20.860 I mean, that's how it struck me.

00:52:22.620 But let me support it as best I can.

00:52:25.480 It's somewhat rare that you would have a situation where there's an audio only, because that's easier to deep fake.

00:52:33.620 If it had been something he'd said in public, it'd be easy to debunk it, because you'd say, okay, here's the real one.

00:52:41.680 He said this in public.

00:52:42.900 Now you can see how the deep fake changed it.

00:52:45.160 But since the only public thing we'd have is an audio that nobody listens to, if somebody were to take a clip out of it and do a 10-second clip where it sounds like he said the N-word or something ridiculous, then I think people would believe it. 0.55

00:53:02.180 I do, because if the headline story said the audio tape is out, and then you saw a clip, and then you played it, and you heard what you thought was Biden's voice, and he sounded really dementia-ridden and crazy and, you know, saying racist stuff and whatever, you might believe it.

00:53:22.080 And we're close enough to the election where a fake audio tape could actually change things. 1.00

00:53:29.520 Remember, the audio tape of Trump saying, grab them by the pussy? 0.99

00:53:34.220 People thought that was going to change the election. 1.00

00:53:36.500 It turns out it didn't.

00:53:38.420 But is it a realistic risk that when you're this close to an election, and it's the president who's running for re-election, and it's audio only, it is actually an unusually big risk?

00:53:55.700 Would you agree?

00:53:56.580 Because I think somebody would alter it immediately.

00:54:01.480 It's not even a risk it would happen.

00:54:03.960 It would happen.

00:54:05.380 I think you could say with complete confidence that there would be at least a parody version, which people would think was real.

00:54:12.900 At the very least, there would be a parody version where he's just saying crazy stuff.

00:54:18.200 So I don't think this should be upheld, because if you generalize this, it would be devastating to the normal operation of the world.

00:54:28.040 But it's not crazy.

00:54:30.340 It's not crazy that it opens the door to a bad thing happening.

00:54:35.140 But let me suggest this, and I think the people asking for it will say the same thing.

00:54:42.040 We already have the transcript, and we already have a zillion hours of Biden talking on audio in other places.

00:54:50.560 AI doesn't need the specific audio from the event.

00:54:53.560 All you have to do is run the transcript through it on a voice that's trained as Biden, and then if that works, you go back in and you edit the transcript and feed it back into AI again.

00:55:06.140 So instead of saying the real transcript in Biden's voice, it adds N-word or some crazy thing.

00:55:13.380 So I feel as if maybe the lawyers making this ask don't understand how AI works.

00:55:22.540 Do they not understand that whether we have the transcript or not, whether we have the audio or not, it actually doesn't have any effect on whether somebody would make a deepfake?

00:55:33.960 Yeah.

00:55:34.480 The deepfake that they're worried about could be made tomorrow based on what's already publicly available with no research whatsoever.

00:55:44.100 You know, just Google transcript.

00:55:46.720 Yeah, actually, you don't even have to have the transcript, because if you're going to do a fake one, you can make up the transcript.

00:55:53.180 Nobody's going to check.

00:55:55.100 See, the trouble with fakes is that they do their damage before they're debunked, and the debunk never gets the attention of the original.

00:56:04.480 So there's nothing that you couldn't do right now to fake that.

00:56:08.900 Searchlight Pictures presents The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.

00:56:15.720 From the director of Meet the Parents and the writer of Poor Things, comes The Roses, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney.

00:56:28.600 A hilarious new comedy filled with drama, excitement, and a little bit of hatred, proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses.

00:56:36.160 See The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.

00:56:39.340 Get tickets now.

00:56:44.840 Okay.

00:56:46.840 So Trump went to the UFC yesterday, got a standing ovation.

00:56:51.120 It was crazy.

00:56:52.980 Do you know what that standing ovation at the UFC sounded like to me?

00:56:57.300 Well, if you just heard it on the surface, it sounded like, yay, Trump, yay.

00:57:02.780 But here's what I heard.

00:57:06.160 We'll take the outlaw.

00:57:10.720 Did you see the crowd?

00:57:13.160 Almost all men.

00:57:15.060 Well, I mean, dominant male audience.

00:57:17.880 The men there were very clearly, by their reaction, saying, outlaw, you just made him better.

00:57:25.140 There's almost nothing you could have done to Trump that would have been as good for his brand than becoming an outlaw to the crooked government.

00:57:40.620 Honestly, I love it.

00:57:42.400 My honest opinion, without the spin, it's the spin season, so even I, as much as I try to avoid spinning, everybody's going to do it this season.

00:57:54.500 But honestly, like in my body and my real mind, no spin, I just love that he's an outlaw.

00:58:03.920 Because the way he got there, you know, if he'd robbed the bank, I'd say no.

00:58:10.740 But the way he got there, oh, yeah.

00:58:14.520 Yeah, I want the outlaw.

00:58:16.880 Absolutely.

00:58:18.240 Positively.

00:58:19.680 No qualms about it.

00:58:22.320 Give me the outlaw.

00:58:23.100 And that's what the UFC audience basically said in their own way.

00:58:28.720 But it gets better.

00:58:29.920 After UFC fighter Kevin Holland won, he jumped over the ring and went right to President Trump, former President Trump, and shook his hands and said some private words to him in support, obviously.

00:58:43.840 Trump slapped him on the shoulders, and obviously they're now friends.

00:58:48.040 You should know that UFC fighter Kevin Holland is black.

00:58:51.440 Does it matter?

00:58:53.820 Yes.

00:58:55.300 Yep.

00:58:55.840 Because it's public, and people are very affected by social forces.

00:59:02.780 So if you see a black superstar going right to President Trump and congratulating him, that's powerful.

00:59:15.480 Yeah, a lot of clips on it.

00:59:16.720 Likewise, UFC fighter Sean Strickland said on the microphone to the crowd, President Trump, you're the man. 0.98

00:59:25.560 It is a damn travesty what they're doing to you. 0.97

00:59:28.020 I'll be donating to you. 0.98

00:59:30.220 I'll be donating to you is the key phrase.

00:59:33.500 By the way, I don't know if you have the current data, but in the 48 hours after the felony conviction verdict, Trump had already earned $1.6 million per felony.

00:59:50.620 Per felony, yeah.

00:59:53.860 And if you do the math, you know, people say he's not really a good business person, but by my calculations, he invested $130,000, and he got a return of $53 million.

01:00:05.260 That's some good investing.

01:00:08.900 You know, he doesn't get credit for that.

01:00:11.480 So yeah, it's $1.6 million per felony.

01:00:14.920 His per indictment numbers are not as good, but I think they'll be improving as well.

01:00:20.180 So I think we should be measuring Trump's, his donation gathering by felonies.

01:00:30.220 So if he could get, I feel like he's only maybe 12 to 17 felonies away from having all the money he needs for the rest of the campaign.

01:00:39.920 So I think we're like three or four felonies away from being really rich with cash.

01:00:46.660 So there's that.

01:00:50.180 Trump also at the UFC announced that he's getting on TikTok.

01:00:55.300 Now, you might know that I think that TikTok needs to be canceled or divested into the U.S., but as long as it's there, I guess I got to agree with Vivek and with Trump.

01:01:09.980 If it's there, and it matters, and it's a big way to reach voters, sure, why not?

01:01:22.020 All right.

01:01:22.700 David Sachs and others are pointing out the lawfare double standard here that Hillary Clinton did similar things without penalty.

01:01:32.020 So here's how David Sachs explains it.

01:01:34.320 He calls it the business records double standard.

01:01:36.440 In 2016, Hillary Clinton's campaign was fined $8,000.

01:01:41.000 That was it.

01:01:41.660 A fine of $8,000 for the following.

01:01:43.920 For violating federal campaign finance laws.

01:01:46.440 Huh.

01:01:47.220 Why?

01:01:47.960 Her team falsely reported the funding of the Steele dossier as legal services and legal and compliance consulting.

01:01:55.900 Well, what does that sound like?

01:01:58.540 Huh.

01:01:58.900 This sounds exactly like what Trump did.

01:02:03.080 Exactly.

01:02:06.400 What else do we know?

01:02:08.600 According to Sachs, actually, this opposition research was an attempt to smear her opponent with false and salacious allegations.

01:02:16.860 Obviously, it was also intended to influence the election.

01:02:20.000 Huh.

01:02:20.840 So she recorded it as a lawyer expense.

01:02:25.960 But really, no matter what she was thinking, because as Megyn Kelly explained on her video the other day, that it doesn't matter what anybody was thinking when they did the expense.

01:02:38.920 It only matters that a reasonable person could look at it and say, well, there's more than one reason you would do that.

01:02:45.380 So when Trump did his payments, it didn't matter that he was thinking it was mostly about the election.

01:02:55.960 This is Megyn Kelly's take. 0.94

01:02:58.000 It had more to do with the fact that a reasonable person would say, well, there's more than one reason you would want that information not to get out.

01:03:04.420 You know, one's your family, one's your business reputation, and the other is political.

01:03:09.140 So if everybody agrees that there are three reasons, that should have been reason enough that he can't be convicted.

01:03:15.160 You'd need one reason.

01:03:16.320 If there's three, it's just sort of automatically you're not guilty.

01:03:23.340 So Hillary obviously was putting this into legal expenses to hide her contribution to the hoax, of course. 1.00

01:03:36.020 Moreover, says Sachs, Hillary's campaign was headquartered in New York State, huh, and in Brooklyn, New York, which would make it fall under the jurisdiction of New York Penal Law 175.1, the state law, which makes it a felony to falsify business records with the intent to conceal the commission of a crime.

01:03:56.520 Huh, I feel like that Steele dossier thing was a crime, wasn't it?

01:04:05.380 It should have been.

01:04:07.060 I don't know, maybe it wasn't technically, but it should have been.

01:04:11.460 And then the Sachs asks, was the key distinction between Hillary's campaign violation versus recent news?

01:04:21.140 And he concludes with Hillary's violation, there wasn't a Manhattan prosecutor politically motivated to bring an unprecedented case to trial.

01:04:31.000 Now, as you know, people who in the past may have leaned left in their politics, like Elon Musk, and I'm not sure where David Sachs was, but he's clearly on the anti-Biden train at the moment.

01:04:48.640 So you see some people that you wouldn't expect to be anti-Biden, who are clearly anti-Biden, but let's look at the rest of them, because it's a growing thing, and I think the dam is about to burst.

01:05:03.060 ABC News says this, and they post, like any other American found guilty of a crime, Donald Trump is likely to face new restrictions and lose a number of rights due to his newfound felon status.

01:05:21.540 What about this choice of words?

01:05:24.640 Found guilty of a crime.

01:05:27.280 Isn't that an interesting phrase?

01:05:29.460 He was found guilty.

01:05:30.700 Why wouldn't you just say guilty?

01:05:34.540 Why wouldn't you just say, now that he's a felon, or now that the jury has concluded he's a felon, why would you say that he was found guilty instead of guilty?

01:05:47.500 Well, let me put the hypnotist filter on it.

01:05:51.520 As a hypnotist, I was trained that people's choice of words reveals their thoughts.

01:05:59.000 And all the time.

01:06:01.780 It's really reliable.

01:06:04.160 The choice of the words found guilty instead of just guilty.

01:06:07.800 Now, I do understand that found guilty is a common phrase, and it wouldn't be surprising to see it used in other contexts.

01:06:14.740 But where you have a choice, and they obviously had a choice of any words that would tell the story, why would you put found guilty?

01:06:23.960 Because found guilty has the odor of, we know he's not really guilty, but it is true that he was found guilty.

01:06:32.740 It suggests that the ABC News person who wrote that post doesn't believe that he was guilty because they're watching the same thing we watched, and that it was a lawfare.

01:06:45.360 So look for that.

01:06:47.200 Look for words that you say to yourself, they had a choice of words.

01:06:51.220 And within all the words they could have chosen, they picked the one that sends a flag.

01:06:57.740 It's sort of quite a signal.

01:07:00.720 But is there more?

01:07:01.600 Well, as you know, Eli Honig, who is one of the main legal minds on CNN, said the trial blew his mind, and it's an unjustified mess.

01:07:10.860 And basically, Eli Honig dumped on the lawfare of it, exactly as Republicans do. 0.51

01:07:19.860 In other words, in a purely factual way, he just said it's lawfare garbage, and it wouldn't have happened to anybody else.

01:07:27.820 Now, that's a big deal, because he says that on CNN. 0.73

01:07:32.160 He said it several times on CNN, and they're not taking him off the air.

01:07:36.600 So CNN, I'm going to give them credit again.

01:07:41.240 They do seem to be pivoting towards something like a reasonable middle.

01:07:46.000 We don't want to get ahead of ourselves and say that it's going to be a completely clean situation.

01:07:51.200 But I see the effort.

01:07:53.720 I mean, to me, it looks like they're trying.

01:07:55.800 Because remember, also, Fareed Zakaria said directly that unless your name was Donald Trump, you never would have been charged with this crime.

01:08:08.140 Now, that is really clear.

01:08:10.220 There's no vagueness in that.

01:08:12.940 Fareed is saying, all right, if you look at the situation, this is dirty.

01:08:17.280 I mean, that's as clear as you can be.

01:08:20.620 But it gets better.

01:08:21.640 However, you know how many times I've told you that Samir Khanish is the least biased person on CNN?

01:08:31.620 Well, true to his brand, he had Charlemagne the God on.

01:08:35.580 You know, Charlemagne's doing a book tour.

01:08:37.960 But Charlemagne is also famous for not being pro-Biden at the moment.

01:08:44.500 You know, he's not a lover of Trump, but he's very clearly saying, you know, Biden's a mess.

01:08:49.500 So Samir Khanish has him on there and asked if the verdict would change the outcome of the election.

01:08:58.220 And here's what Charlemagne said.

01:08:59.780 He said, so it's really which candidate can energize their base.

01:09:03.600 In situations like this, it does energize Trump's base.

01:09:07.600 I see Biden's base upset with him over a number of things.

01:09:10.420 I do think a situation like this gives them something to fight for, meaning the Trumpers.

01:09:16.420 Now, I saw somebody say that they thought that Samir Khanish's face and body language suggested that he was going to explode like he didn't like seeing it.

01:09:29.160 I would suggest that you're reading him completely wrong.

01:09:33.840 Samir Khanish knew exactly what Charlemagne was going to say.

01:09:37.420 I mean, not exactly, but he knew what Charlemagne's message was.

01:09:41.180 He invited him on the show.

01:09:44.620 No, he wasn't surprised.

01:09:46.800 He wanted his audience to hear Charlemagne's point of view.

01:09:51.900 Just think about that.

01:09:54.220 He intentionally invited somebody he knew was going to trash Biden. 0.98

01:09:58.940 Somebody who is black and is influential. 0.95

01:10:02.800 Samir Khanish did that.

01:10:04.440 Here's what I saw.

01:10:05.360 When I looked at Samir Khanish's face, and this is just subjective, right?

01:10:09.840 But remember, I have the perspective that I'm already biased, that he's unbiased.

01:10:15.600 The look that I saw on his face was just sort of like shock and amazement like the rest of us.

01:10:26.660 So I think he was just trying to keep a poker face.

01:10:29.220 But I think he was having a reaction to it, but not the reaction that, you know, he hated hearing it.

01:10:35.640 I think it was a reaction of the moment we're in is a big moment.

01:10:40.940 So what happens when all of those people associated with CNN turn completely on this story and agree with the Republicans?

01:10:50.100 Well, they're not the only ones.

01:10:51.960 Ellen Dershowitz, a famous Democrat, says Trump was unjustly convicted.

01:10:56.300 This worst case in 60 years should never have been brought, and the public should see the judge's outrageous behavior.

01:11:03.040 Now, that's pretty clear.

01:11:04.980 Dershowitz is not saying, I don't know, you can see this both ways.

01:11:08.380 Nope.

01:11:09.380 One of the most experienced and capable legal minds in the country, a Democrat, said, no, this is totally crooked.

01:11:17.680 Totally crooked, obviously crooked.

01:11:19.920 Every part of this is crooked.

01:11:21.100 Now, I've taught you before that if one of the major networks, let's say CNN or MSNBC, say something is a fact, but then you go to the conservative outlets, let's say Breitbart or Fox News, and they say it's not a fact.

01:11:39.460 Or vice versa.

01:11:41.240 One of them says it's true and the other one says not.

01:11:44.620 It's usually not.

01:11:47.000 Usually not.

01:11:47.820 Or let me put it a better way.

01:11:51.180 You can't tell if it's true.

01:11:53.640 It's just two versions.

01:11:55.180 Now, if you could, you know, there's some objective facts that they show you that you can make up your own mind.

01:11:59.940 That's different.

01:12:01.080 But you don't really know if something's true if they disagree in their normal way, they disagree.

01:12:07.820 But it's unusual that CNN and Fox News, for example, would be on the same page about anything.

01:12:13.860 And they're on the same page that this was lawfare, and it was a completely rigged system, which is phenomenal.

01:12:22.460 But here's the best part.

01:12:28.380 Some of you know the name Naval Ravikant, founder of AngelList and one of the most prominent investor and thinkers in Silicon Valley.

01:12:40.080 What you might not know about him is that he's famously nonpolitical.

01:12:45.820 Famously.

01:12:46.580 He does a lot of tweeting.

01:12:48.840 You know, he's one of the most quoted people in, well, most quoted people in philosophy and technology at the moment.

01:12:57.720 Success, a lot of different domains.

01:12:59.920 So he's generally considered, I've actually called him the smartest person I've ever met.

01:13:06.600 So let me say that again.

01:13:08.520 The smartest person I've ever met.

01:13:12.620 Do you know how many smart people I've met?

01:13:15.300 Quite a few.

01:13:17.160 Right.

01:13:17.760 So I'll stay with that.

01:13:21.020 He might be the smartest person I've ever met.

01:13:22.740 Now, here I'm calling smart not just depth, but breadth.

01:13:29.500 He can tell you the better take on more topics than any human being I've ever met.

01:13:36.080 And it'll be a different take, and it'll be better than the one you had on so many different topics.

01:13:40.900 It's crazy.

01:13:41.980 All right.

01:13:42.400 So when he talks, there are enough people, certainly in the investment world, in the technical world, he's well known.

01:13:49.500 So when he says anything that kind of strays from his nonpolitical stance, your ears just go, wait, what did I just hear?

01:14:01.420 And here's what he said.

01:14:04.120 He put two of Biden's posts on X next to each other.

01:14:08.420 And one of them was about Biden bragging that he ignored the Supreme Court to get student loans canceled.

01:14:17.800 And then the next one was where he was saying that nobody's above the law.

01:14:23.080 After the one where he said he got around the law.

01:14:25.840 Now, the way that quote is taken is that when he says, for my enemies, the law, he doesn't mean just if they broke the law.

01:14:55.840 That's the important part.

01:14:57.760 He means you can use the law to get rid of enemies, and that's just the tool you use.

01:15:04.320 And that is what we are observing.

01:15:08.380 So now CNN has made it safe for the least political person in all of public life to tell you that the former president of the United States is getting law fared right in front of you.

01:15:26.120 Now, to you, this might seem like a small deal, but I don't think you quite understand how much persuasive influence Naval has on the smartest people in Silicon Valley.

01:15:44.620 He is so respected that when he puts down a stake, and I would say that he put down a stake, that this is too far.

01:15:56.940 To get him to talk about anything in the political domain and to make a direct statement about it, that's pretty direct, is extraordinary.

01:16:08.400 I think the dam is about to break.

01:16:11.000 I think CNN is already broken.

01:16:12.700 I think the investors in Silicon Valley, they're all going to turn.

01:16:19.980 The all-in podcast is all-in.

01:16:23.120 Elon Musk, he's all-in.

01:16:25.720 Naval, he just broke a long tradition.

01:16:29.540 And that, I'm sure he thought about it for a long time before he did it.

01:16:36.580 Something's happening that's bigger than anything you could imagine.

01:16:42.040 It's not obvious yet.

01:16:44.560 But wow, you can feel it.

01:16:48.100 The feeling that things have gone too far is so strong right now.

01:16:54.620 Yeah, the energy is very different.

01:16:55.880 And here's the part that I was saving for you.

01:17:00.680 Do you know what Judge Mershon's first name is?

01:17:04.920 How many of you know his first name, just off the top of your head?

01:17:08.000 Have you ever heard it?

01:17:10.580 His first name is Juan.

01:17:14.120 Yeah, Juan Mershon.

01:17:15.760 That's the judge that's going to jail Trump, probably.

01:17:19.580 Do you know where he was born?

01:17:22.700 Colombia.

01:17:23.540 The country of Colombia.

01:17:25.880 Yeah, Judge Mershon, who was born in Colombia.

01:17:33.960 He's an immigrant.

01:17:38.560 The judge that's judging Trump is an immigrant from below the border.

01:17:44.840 Does that sound like the right choice?

01:17:51.020 The most famous build the wall, keep the South Americans where they are of all time? 1.00

01:17:59.460 And his judge is one of the people that would have, you know, presumably the biggest problem with that kind of attitude.

01:18:06.960 It gets better.

01:18:08.900 His father was a military officer in Colombia.

01:18:15.920 Military officer.

01:18:17.960 For a while.

01:18:19.900 And then he later served in Colombia's intelligence services.

01:18:28.460 Huh.

01:18:29.680 Colombia.

01:18:30.260 What do we know about Colombia?

01:18:35.020 What do we know about their military?

01:18:38.600 What do we know about the Colombian intelligence services?

01:18:43.040 Let's see.

01:18:46.000 Some people would say that Colombia and the government and the military are tightly connected with the cartels.

01:18:52.280 Some would say.

01:18:54.360 And some would say that the cartels are tightly linked with the American CIA.

01:19:02.940 Some would say.

01:19:03.880 So let me ask you this.

01:19:07.720 If you are the CIA and you knew that Trump didn't even use your services for intelligence.

01:19:14.160 And you knew that he was talking about and other Republicans like Tucker were talking about eliminating the CIA and all of your jobs.

01:19:23.180 And you wanted to stop him.

01:19:25.960 Who would be the best pick to do that?

01:19:28.800 Well, I would go with Juan Mershon, father military officer from Colombia, who once worked in their intelligence services, somehow made it to the United States as an immigrant and built quite a good life.

01:19:47.940 That's who I'd pick.

01:19:50.300 So now I'm not going to make an allegation because I don't know anything about his father.

01:19:56.160 But why does it look exactly like you would think it would look if the worst case scenario were true and that the whole thing is the CIA and it's all fixed?

01:20:08.000 Why does it look exactly like that?

01:20:13.460 Is that a coincidence?

01:20:16.100 Can we write that off to coincidence that it looks exactly like a CIA operation?

01:20:21.340 Now, again, I'm only making unfair inferences about people who are known to be the types of people who associate with other types of people.

01:20:30.600 So that's a big, you know, I don't want to go further than that because that would be defamation.

01:20:36.800 So I'm not going to make a claim that I know it's true.

01:20:39.700 I'm just asking.

01:20:41.200 Just asking.

01:20:42.300 Don't you hate that.

01:20:42.940 Don't you hate that.

01:20:43.560 I'm curious.

01:20:46.260 Why there's such a big coincidence involved, especially when we know that his selection was supposed to be random, but clearly wasn't because he got three Trump cases in a row.

01:20:56.820 All three.

01:20:59.540 So is it exactly what it looks like?

01:21:02.540 In the meantime, we hear the people who are part of the deep state saying that his merchant is going to recommend jail time, despite the fact that nobody would get jail time for this if they were not Trump.

01:21:19.520 And the argument was because Trump was sort of had a bad attitude and violated the gag order.

01:21:27.480 So therefore, they would send him to jail.

01:21:29.520 That's the argument.

01:21:33.740 And on CNN, one of the legal guys was testing that argument out.

01:21:38.880 That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard.

01:21:41.620 At the same time, there's a movement to change the law so he can't get a secret service protection while he's in jail so he can be killed.

01:21:50.140 Now, I was talking with one of my online buddies just before I went live.

01:21:55.740 And, you know, I mentioned that it looked like on the surface, it looks like they're trying to kill him.

01:22:03.900 And he didn't understand that I meant that literally.

01:22:07.000 He thought I meant figuratively.

01:22:09.380 No, literally.

01:22:11.120 Now, I'm not going to say I know that that's the case. 0.62

01:22:13.840 I'm going to say if I were going to put odds on it, I'd say it's a 50% chance that there's an active plan by our government to kill Trump.

01:22:23.080 I think it's at least a 50% chance.

01:22:25.120 And the reason I say that is that we live through Epstein.

01:22:30.760 If there had never been an Epstein, if there had never been a Kennedy who got assassinated, if we didn't see that RFK Jr. also doesn't get secret service protection for no good reason, I would have said, okay, our government doesn't do things like that.

01:22:47.020 But clearly, they do things like that.

01:22:50.800 So, yes, they have an existential risk, well, to their jobs, if Trump becomes the president again.

01:22:58.340 And what would they do if they are the dirty tricks group of the country?

01:23:03.060 The people who are selected by their willingness to break rules.

01:23:06.800 The CIA is selected by their willingness to do illegal things.

01:23:13.520 At least the operators are, because they're doing illegal things in other countries.

01:23:19.820 You could argue that it's still legal in our country if they do illegal things and it's authorized by our country.

01:23:25.300 But that's sort of cutting a fine.

01:23:29.280 I mean, they're basically people who signed up for, yeah, I'll go do super illegal things.

01:23:34.100 That'll be my job.

01:23:35.000 And that we would assume that they wouldn't do super illegal things when it's the very group that's been selected because they like to do, or at least they're willing to do, super illegal things.

01:23:48.020 No.

01:23:48.820 It's at least a 50% chance that they're trying to kill him.

01:23:52.960 Don Jr. says the same thing.

01:23:54.940 It's not crazy.

01:23:56.560 It is well within the parameters of what we've seen.

01:23:59.860 If I'd never seen the law fair happen, then I'd say, well, you know, but the courts are fair.

01:24:07.320 No, they're not.

01:24:08.680 To me, it looks like the court case is driven by the same people who are, apparently, if you look at it on the surface, on the surface, it looks exactly like a murder plot with a statistical element.

01:24:22.160 Which is, maybe they don't know for sure, he'll be killed in prison, but they think there's a good chance.

01:24:29.420 So, anyway, that's scary. 0.99

01:24:33.180 So, over on MSNBC, the stupid network, Representative Bowman's on there. 0.99

01:24:45.580 He says, if you stay home and you do not exercise the power of your vote, you're giving your power to white supremacist MAGA individuals. 1.00

01:24:53.660 You know where the white supremacist MAGA individuals are?

01:24:58.120 Because I've never really seen one on the news.

01:25:01.560 But I'm going to take a guess.

01:25:03.840 I think they're up in the mountains with the white supremacist militia that's forming. 0.96

01:25:09.220 They're hiding away with the black guy who can't figure out how to get an ID to vote. 0.99

01:25:16.260 And, well, you get it. 0.94

01:25:19.540 You get the idea.

01:25:22.740 Vivek had an interesting legal take.

01:25:26.380 I don't know if I'm buying it yet, but it's interesting.

01:25:29.480 He says that Trump can be pardoned by a president for his New York conviction, even though it's a state matter.

01:25:39.920 Normally, a president can only, what would it be, pardon or commute for something that was a federal offense.

01:25:48.860 You can't do it for a state charge.

01:25:51.020 And Trump was charged and convicted by the state.

01:25:55.780 However, the state's charges depended entirely upon the fact that there were also federal violations per their case.

01:26:05.020 So if you were to pardon Trump from the federal part of it, it would make the state part of it dissolve because the state part of it depended on the federal part.

01:26:17.120 So even though the federal part was not really what the state found, they still relied on the jury thinking a federal thing had been violated so that they could apply the state thing to the higher level crime of felony because it supported the other charge or vice versa.

01:26:37.020 One supported the other.

01:26:38.020 I forget which way it went.

01:26:39.800 But I don't know if I buy that.

01:26:44.220 It sounds right.

01:26:45.760 But.

01:26:47.120 But I feel like there might be an alternative legal theory about whether that's practical.

01:26:54.100 I like the thinking.

01:26:55.820 And once again, if it's true, if it's true, how did we get this far?

01:27:01.860 And why did Vivek have to be the one to bring it up?

01:27:05.480 Because he went to a little bit of law school.

01:27:08.320 So so he's the only one who figured it out.

01:27:12.260 Man, do we need him in the in the government that we need him so much.

01:27:17.120 Even if he's wrong on this, at least he came up with this.

01:27:21.180 And that's pretty good.

01:27:24.160 Anyway, so that.

01:27:26.040 Yeah.

01:27:26.440 So I do think Vivek is the primary thing that could keep Trump alive if Vivek wanted to be vice president and got nominated for that.

01:27:35.400 So because he's the one that I think the CIA would be most afraid of who's not named Trump.

01:27:43.900 So I think he's the way to keep Trump alive.

01:27:47.140 It would be wild if Trump nominated Vivek for vice president and said directly, you know what?

01:27:58.200 Some other people were my top choice, but Vivek will keep me alive.

01:28:02.500 Can you imagine that?

01:28:06.420 Because it was real.

01:28:08.520 It's real.

01:28:10.580 But he could say that directly.

01:28:13.480 You know, Vivek didn't want the job.

01:28:15.780 He wanted to have a different role.

01:28:18.100 I had somebody else in mind.

01:28:20.380 But honestly, he's the one who's going to keep me alive.

01:28:23.600 I'd love to hear him say that directly.

01:28:29.400 All right.

01:28:30.100 Getting back into the Soros mystery.

01:28:33.980 I asked, why is it that Soros is doing what he's doing? 0.92

01:28:37.060 And I wanted other people to explain it to me like I'm an idiot so I could understand why Soros would be funding so many things that seem like disastrous for the country that he lives in. 0.97

01:28:49.780 Right. 0.99

01:28:50.300 Why would you destroy the country that you live in?

01:28:55.380 Now, I'm being called naive and uninformed.

01:29:00.320 And here's what I heard from a user online that Soros supports anarcho-tyranny, all the things we're seeing in the country, because he believes.

01:29:11.640 Now, this is the mind reading part.

01:29:13.120 Because he believes in a globalist agenda that transcends national borders, and it wouldn't matter that he's a citizen of the United States, because Soros' preference would be that states go away and he'll do fine because he's rich.

01:29:28.120 That ain't it.

01:29:32.720 That ain't it.

01:29:34.660 I feel like this is an analysis that comes from people who have never been rich.

01:29:39.500 May I give you my rich guy analysis?

01:29:42.380 It's the only one you should listen to, because Soros is rich.

01:29:47.920 If you're not hearing the opinion from somebody also rich, I mean, I don't have anything like his money, but I've experienced going from poor to being wealthy.

01:29:58.020 It changes you.

01:29:59.240 And here's the thing you want the least.

01:30:02.540 If you're on top, so right now he's sitting at, like, the pinnacle of human beings.

01:30:10.200 You don't want that to change.

01:30:13.200 If you're at the top, the last thing you want in a risk-reward world, the last thing you want is to change the whole system that you're dominating at at the top.

01:30:26.780 That introduces a risk of total collapse that would take him from the top to not the top.

01:30:34.820 It could make every dollar he owns worth nothing.

01:30:39.860 Right?

01:30:40.160 So being in the top 1%, let me tell you for sure, because I'm in it, I don't want the whole system to change dramatically in any way.

01:30:51.000 Now, do I think that the whole system should be changed dramatically?

01:30:57.620 Yeah, I can think of lots of ways.

01:30:59.940 But I would want to do them carefully and without changing the general structure of what got me to where I am.

01:31:06.820 The last thing I want is to have the country thrown into chaos, and then I have to figure out how to create a good situation from scratch.

01:31:16.900 I'm already in a good situation.

01:31:18.960 If you've never experienced going from uncertainty and economic low income to a place where you would call yourself wealthy, when you get there, the last thing you want to do is change the whole world into something you don't even know what will happen.

01:31:37.600 Nobody does that, and among the group of the nobodies who would do that, the top, top, top, the very number one person who wouldn't do that is the person who's famous for being good at risk analysis.

01:31:52.140 That's what Suarez is famous for.

01:31:56.040 He's apparently unusually good at risk analysis.

01:32:00.100 Nobody with risk analysis ability destroys the whole system without a replacement that's right online.

01:32:09.160 Nobody does that.

01:32:10.620 So the idea that he's in favor of destroying all the borders and forming a global network is crazy.

01:32:18.720 Now, here's the other thing.

01:32:22.520 If a globalist one world government were to be formed, have you thought through who would be in charge?

01:32:31.840 Have you lived in the real world at all?

01:32:35.240 If you form a real world government of the top richest people, like actually an official government, they would just fight with each other.

01:32:44.800 It would be like the Democrats and the Republicans.

01:32:48.620 They would be buying the fight of all fights when none of them need a fight.

01:32:53.240 All the billionaires are already the champions of the world.

01:32:57.460 They can do whatever they want.

01:32:58.760 They can affect governments easily.

01:33:01.660 Why would they change their situation dramatically?

01:33:04.680 And if they did, why do you think Soros would be the top billionaire?

01:33:10.440 Don't you think he would get demoted as likely as promoted?

01:33:13.660 It would be the craziest, riskiest, chaotic thing to ever do if you were already at the top.

01:33:20.180 The next thing is that people say he's doing it for money.

01:33:23.260 Scott, you don't understand.

01:33:25.760 You know, he destroys countries, and then he bets against their currencies, and then he makes a whole bunch of money.

01:33:32.600 Now, I did a fact check on this, but am I crazy?

01:33:35.680 Or is Soros trying to give away his money?

01:33:41.900 My understanding is he's trying to donate most of it.

01:33:45.660 In the context of trying to give away most of your money, you're not doing gigantic, terrible, illegal things to make more money.

01:33:54.500 Like, it doesn't even make sense.

01:33:58.380 Like, how does any of that make sense?

01:34:00.640 So whatever is going on here, I have no idea.

01:34:05.860 I have no idea.

01:34:07.060 I just know that the simplistic explanations of a globalist, one-world government don't track at all with who Soros is.

01:34:15.300 And I'm not reading his mind.

01:34:17.840 I'm saying that nobody in that situation would want that choice, nor have you ever heard anybody.

01:34:24.620 Show me a billionaire who really wants governments to go away and have one-world government.

01:34:36.300 I don't think there are any, and definitely not him, because he's good at risk management.

01:34:41.280 And nobody would do that.

01:34:44.340 It would be crazy.

01:34:45.300 Anyway, so that's still a mystery.

01:34:51.020 Let's talk about the Israel peace deal.

01:34:53.300 As I told you on day one, it was always fake.

01:34:56.660 So there's not really a peace deal that anybody's going to take too seriously.

01:35:00.980 But it looks like Israel's going to buy some time. 0.99

01:35:05.000 I don't know how long it will take to get whatever they need done in Rafa.

01:35:09.760 But it's probably a few months.

01:35:11.500 You don't think that they can stall negotiations for two months?

01:35:16.660 Of course they can.

01:35:18.260 Of course they can.

01:35:18.820 Of course they can. 0.97

01:35:20.620 Yeah, the World Economic Forum is even the more ridiculous theory.

01:35:27.440 I think Elon Musk is right about them being a club for rich people.

01:35:33.240 If Elon Musk isn't worried, and he's about as close to the inside of the world as anybody could be,

01:35:42.240 and he seems totally unconvinced there's any danger there, and I agree with him completely.

01:35:47.840 I think it's just a club for rich people.

01:35:49.440 Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Russia's trying to, they say, bomb Kyrkhov.

01:35:59.240 What is the second biggest city?

01:36:01.600 It's not Kiev.

01:36:02.860 It's Kyrkhov or something.

01:36:06.280 I forget.

01:36:07.220 Anyway, it looks like the Russians are trying to take out their vital services and depopulate it before they do anything bigger. 0.94

01:36:14.880 So it looks like the current method of taking over a city in a military way is the American and Israeli version is a little more boots on the ground.

01:36:27.000 The Russian version is, we'll go in when there's nothing left.

01:36:30.940 Kyrkhov.

01:36:31.900 Kyrkhov, thank you.

01:36:33.480 The city is Kyrkhov.

01:36:35.400 Kyrkhov?

01:36:36.920 Kyrkhov or Kyrkhov, one of those.

01:36:38.760 Anyway, not much happening there besides the usual badness.

01:36:46.140 That, by the way, concludes my comments for today.

01:36:50.320 Sorry I ran long again.

01:36:52.060 I'm going to say bye to YouTube and Rumble and X.

01:36:56.300 I'm going to talk to the good folks on Locals privately, the subscribers, and I'll see the rest of you tomorrow.

01:37:04.440 Hope you enjoyed the show.

01:37:05.380 Hope you enjoyed the show.
