Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2653 CWSA 11⧸08⧸24

00:00:00.000 just off the good start if you're looking at the stock market but let's

00:00:17.400 look at your comments speaking of Carrie Lake they're trying to figure out so

00:00:31.640 here's here's the interesting thing that's happening in Arizona with a guy I

00:00:35.520 go Carrie Lake situation the accusation from Liz Harrington is quote you know why 0.78

00:00:46.200 it's taking you so long they're trying to figure out how to keep Gallego below

00:00:50.100 Trump but higher than Lake oh man I hate how true that sounds but maybe we'll

00:01:03.300 find out what's what's true and what's not but first we're gonna watch this

00:01:13.700 you know that's weird I do not see my own show today on locals come on locals

00:01:27.300 huh well that puts a little crimp in my game because normally I look at my

00:01:40.980 comments separately on here huh I guess that's not gonna happen all right well I

00:01:48.180 tried good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human

00:02:01.980 civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and I guarantee there's never

00:02:06.420 been a better time in your whole darn life but if you'd like to take this 0.98

00:02:12.240 experience up to levels that you can't even understand with your tiny shiny human 0.98

00:02:16.800 brain all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tank or chalice a stein a canteen

00:02:20.460 jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee

00:02:26.560 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing

00:02:30.860 that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous so it happens now

00:02:36.400 I'm gonna try one more time just to make sure that the locals comments are up and running why it's not

00:02:50.840 showing up on my phone is weird I don't know how you're watching me if I'm on locals and I can't see

00:02:55.900 myself how's that possible must be some kind of update okay seriously this isn't

00:03:04.720 possible my own posts looking at the top looking at the newest one I'm currently

00:03:12.280 live 800 people are watching and I'm the only person who can't see my own show is

00:03:17.440 that is that is this really happening to me like like I want to show it to you to make sure that

00:03:24.560 you can see that I'm the only person who can't see my own show because there are 800 of you that

00:03:29.320 are watching it on locals right now and I'm on locals it's not there where it's not where it's

00:03:35.080 supposed to be so oh my god how can this be there we go it's just way out of place where it should have

00:03:46.100 been there it was we're all good now well if you didn't hear about this Intel who took away the

00:03:54.180 coffee privileges for its employees because the company wasn't doing so well so they said no more

00:04:00.480 free coffee and snacks but apparently that didn't go over well so Business Insider says they're bringing

00:04:06.160 back free coffee that's right Intel is bringing back free coffee to the employees and you know what I say

00:04:13.580 about that dad joke alert a dad joke will be delivered momentarily if you don't like dad jokes cover your

00:04:24.980 ear holes but for the rest of you get ready for this that's right coffee is good when the chips are down

00:04:33.860 all right um I would like to uh I'll tell you a little story that makes me feel good

00:04:45.240 so this morning uh I do a pre-show before I do the show that you're watching now just for the

00:04:51.560 subscribers on the locals platform and one of them told me this morning that he uh saved the life

00:04:57.820 with Narcan so there was a public transportation situation somebody uh an addict some fentanyl addict

00:05:06.700 passed out was on the verge of dying and someone who claims he learned about Narcan and what that's all

00:05:15.780 about from my podcasts and so someone that I told about Narcan was in a situation where somebody was about

00:05:25.840 to die call down to find if anybody had some Narcan and somebody did somebody was carrying so it was a

00:05:34.180 public situation and somebody was carrying Narcan and they came up with it and the individual

00:05:40.480 administered it and actually felt the the heart come back on save the life so if you don't think

00:05:49.900 podcasting is important well there's one life saved so golden age yeah daniel penny yeah we we need some

00:06:05.420 daniel penny daniel penny needs to be freed we've got to make this a clean win for the golden age

00:06:15.120 anyway um but before that happens did you hear about the uh there's a small town that has

00:06:21.800 some kind of a research facility that was using monkeys and 40 of the monkeys escaped on thursday

00:06:29.260 so there are 40 monkeys on the loose 38 of them allegedly voted straight democrat ticket

00:06:37.000 so i think they were just down for the week to do a little voting but uh no i'm just joking

00:06:43.880 animals don't vote ever all right how many of you have seen my conversation with uh naval which is

00:06:53.960 um which was done the same way as these live streams so it's on all the same platforms

00:06:58.440 you can see it on x it's been it's been on my x platform and on youtube and rumble and uh locals as well

00:07:07.980 now you have to look at if you think you don't want to watch an hour long um conversation it's not

00:07:16.960 exactly an interview because neither of us are too much into the you know the format of an interview

00:07:23.680 it's a conversation but it's a conversation with probably the most interesting person in the world

00:07:30.700 so you should look at the comments and if the first three that you see don't tell you to spend an hour

00:07:38.200 watching it i'd be surprised uh it's it's already lighting up the internet it's got like half a million

00:07:44.140 views since last night so don't miss it naval ravikant smartest person in the world uh and uh

00:07:53.180 he'll show you why meanwhile trust in physicians and hospitals has decreased by 31 since 2020

00:08:02.380 i'm surprised so there's very little trust in hospitals and doctors these days and i've said

00:08:08.860 this before but i'll say it again you may find yourself in a situation where you need to explain

00:08:15.500 to your doctor that you trust your doctor but you don't necessarily uh trust the system that

00:08:22.960 constrains your doctor's choices so your doctor is working under the the umbrella of what will the

00:08:29.500 insurance company back you on you know if the insurance company isn't going to back you on it

00:08:34.540 better not do it and most of them have bosses and the bosses are big organizations that have to do

00:08:40.460 what the government says or the big pharma says or what somebody says so i'm finding that it's useful

00:08:49.020 to to set down a standard that you believe that your doctor is you know a qualified person doing

00:08:56.540 the best they can means well but you understand their constraints and that you're gonna have to work

00:09:03.580 with that constraint and that means that you might have to make some decisions that are outside of their

00:09:09.260 their narrow range of of prescriptions now i hope i'm not giving advice so because some of you killed

00:09:16.540 by ignoring your doctors don't do that don't ignore your doctor but i do think we're in an age where you

00:09:23.660 can't just automatically assume everything they tell you is the right answer so maybe the best advice

00:09:29.260 i can give you is that if you haven't at least gotten a second opinion from ai you should do that

00:09:39.180 you'd be surprised how good ai is on the medical stuff already i would not replace your real doctor

00:09:45.260 with ai so don't get me wrong it's not time to do that but if you wanted a second opinion such as

00:09:53.340 let's say your doctor says take a certain drug and you didn't hear any side effects mentioned you might

00:10:00.460 want to you might want to take a look at the side effects you know ai will help you a lot

00:10:07.500 speaking of ai jeff bezos and others have invested in this new robot company it's called physical

00:10:14.620 intelligence and they're teaching their robots to do physical things in the real world such as chores and

00:10:21.980 and folding laundry and such but what makes it different is that the normal way to train your ai

00:10:30.300 would be a large language model which isn't going to help for physical tasks but also just to look at

00:10:36.460 a million different things and then from those million different things try to you know duplicate it if

00:10:42.380 you whatever you need but if you take something like folding laundry it's never really exactly the same

00:10:48.860 twice you know every shirt's a little different etc so you need something that's a little smarter

00:10:55.100 than just copying what it's seen before and so they've got some kind of algorithm for physical applications

00:11:03.100 so they think they're building a general purpose artificial intelligence for physical applications

00:11:09.180 so instead of training your robot to do something specific like do this exactly robot like this

00:11:16.220 somehow it can figure out physical tasks and the smarter way to do them

00:11:23.260 in any given situation it's never seen before now if they can pull that off holy cow i don't know if they

00:11:33.100 can but imagine if they can pull that off that it can understand its world the same way you do and it

00:11:39.580 wouldn't need to be trained on anything it just has an algorithm that manages the real world so i could

00:11:46.300 see why somebody rich would put some money in that i've seen some smart people i think mark andresen and

00:11:53.820 some others have said that now with trump in office and his propensity to get rid of red tape and

00:12:01.180 regulations and of course elon will be getting in and you know doing his thing that might reduce the

00:12:08.380 government burden on business and uh oh i didn't mention this but in my conversation with uh naval

00:12:15.740 ravikant he mentioned that he he put out the word that he would be willing to help in the trump

00:12:21.900 administration and you're not not i'm not talking about taking a cabinet position but um maybe in

00:12:30.300 the way the elon's helping you know something that he would be uniquely qualified to do and he is uniquely

00:12:37.260 qualified to do a lot of things so if you ever wanted a dream team oh my goodness is the the dream

00:12:46.060 team coming together so there are some predictions that our gdp could be insane compared to what it

00:12:54.220 has been in the past you know inflation is always a problem if that happens but that's a problem i'll

00:12:59.340 take because i think uh we're we may be on the verge of a of an economic boom like we've never seen

00:13:07.900 the stock market certainly think so i mean the market's just crazy last three days

00:13:13.020 well apparently uh don jr has floated the idea with alex jones of uh some kind of rotating press

00:13:22.300 secretary thing where alex jones would be the press secretary but you know just for a month

00:13:28.300 and then then somebody else would come in now how do you like that idea i think there probably still

00:13:35.500 needs to be a you know regular employed uh press secretary but the idea of having guest

00:13:41.500 um spocks

00:13:46.140 it's a good idea and there's no there's never been an idea that's more perfectly trumpian is there you

00:13:52.060 know the greatest showman on earth why would the greatest showman on earth be satisfied with these

00:13:59.100 press events that are the most useless boring things on earth greatest showman on earth 0.96

00:14:04.940 most boring stupid useless process ever that you seem you do anyway now in the past i think you 0.95

00:14:12.220 just skipped them right sometimes you just said ah it's not even worth it i talked to the press enough 0.99

00:14:17.980 but it seems to me the most perfectly trumpian thing would be to figure out how to make it interesting

00:14:24.140 and you do a little guest guest appearances and there's no way that the news could not talk about

00:14:33.260 it i'm seeing roseanne's name come up a number of times can you even imagine showing up you know for

00:14:40.540 your job you're just a reporter and you're just gonna hear this boring denial of everything and then all

00:14:46.460 of a sudden roseanne comes in with a binder and just the energy in the room goes crazy because they 0.73

00:14:52.140 they thought they were going to do something boring again but roseanne walks in and you're like i don't

00:14:56.780 know what's going to happen now and suddenly it's you know it's it's gonna be a headline one of the

00:15:03.500 things that the news tries to do or actually the politicians try to do is uh fill all the the shelf space

00:15:11.340 with stories that at least don't hurt them and that would make at least one story maybe once a week or

00:15:18.860 more in which the press would just have to write about it they just have to now they probably find

00:15:25.980 some way to you know say a negative like oh he's not taking the job seriously but i feel like they're

00:15:32.220 over that i i think they know that he's he wants to be president for being president reasons i think

00:15:40.300 they finally figured he actually just wants to do the job right anyway uh chief of staff has been

00:15:48.300 chosen by trump suzy wiles i'd not heard that name before but if you're on x and you're seeing the

00:15:55.100 comments from people who have worked with her for a long time i've never seen anything like it i've

00:16:00.940 never seen such a complete endorsement of anybody politically or for anything so whoever suzy wiles 1.00

00:16:11.500 is is apparently very well regarded and um i i guess it's a good pick everybody who knows her says it's

00:16:20.060 like home run now here's what's fascinating about it do you remember me saying for the past

00:16:29.340 at least six months that the the trump campaign is that which is what she was doing she was running 1.00

00:16:36.060 his campaign that the trump campaign was just so obviously well run do you remember that and i kept

00:16:45.900 commenting how you know you sometimes if things are going well you don't notice

00:16:50.940 because usually you notice mistakes but the lack of mistakes that trump made

00:16:58.940 was it was indicative that there was some kind of very powerful and effective force that he was

00:17:09.420 working with that was balancing him just right so there was something that was really really working

00:17:15.660 about the campaign and now now i think we know what it was it was somebody who already had a great

00:17:22.460 reputation and took that into the to the campaign did i mean look at the campaign

00:17:29.420 the campaign it wasn't just good it was maybe as good as anything could be i mean it would be hard to imagine

00:17:38.460 doing better than he did

00:17:39.660 so boy is that a positive thing for your golden age so to get a great chief of staff that everybody

00:17:47.980 respects and is a real powerhouse is amazing now what did i not mention

00:19:00.860 about that story at all first female chief of staff 0.60

00:19:11.020 do you know why i do you know why i didn't mention it because i i'm gonna call it

00:19:18.460 i'm just gonna call it we're done saying that all right how about we're all adults and we know that

00:19:28.380 a woman can do a job how about we stop saying the first black this or that because again this may come 1.00

00:19:37.660 as a shock to some of you black people have jobs right gay people have jobs it doesn't have to be the 0.69

00:19:46.460 first gay one doesn't have to be the first woman one so at the same time that trump is being accused 0.94

00:19:55.180 by the crazy left that maybe sexism is the reason that kamala harris didn't become president because they 0.88

00:20:02.700 you know she didn't she was discriminated against all right keep that in your mind and then look at the

00:20:09.660 comments about susie wiles from the people who know her and you ask me you tell me if any republicans are

00:20:16.940 showing some kind of sexism nope capability capability capability that's all they're talking about

00:20:27.660 just totally capable and the whole woman you know first woman thing i i was waiting to see if somebody

00:20:34.700 would do it because i thought in my mind i'm no historian but i thought i can't remember a woman

00:20:40.700 being in that job i wonder if that's the first and i was happy to see that it wasn't the lead headline

00:20:48.060 on every single comment but somebody brought it up and i thought that was worth noting so i'm going to

00:20:55.980 note it as putting a period in it how about we just say everybody who's capable and good and smart can

00:21:04.380 have any kind of job that a capable good smart person can have and every time we say but she's also 0.99

00:21:10.620 a woman is not helping women it's really not so stop doing it and the way the trump campaign handled 0.98

00:21:19.580 that as well as the way i handled the campaign was by staying away from all that identity stuff

00:21:26.620 and what happened by staying away from the identity stuff trump won a surprising number of people who were

00:21:34.940 non-white men just by not being one of those people who had to talk about identity all day long so he's

00:21:44.380 definitely found the the right let's say the feel of the room you got the yeah zubi is saying that

00:21:52.380 identity politics is dead i don't know if it's dead dead but it's never going to work again

00:21:57.900 maybe that's the same thing anyway um i saw jason from the all-in pod jason uh

00:22:08.620 i never know how to pronounce his name so jason if you're watching i apologize uh calacanis or calacanis

00:22:18.540 he's famous enough that people use his first name you know jason from the all-in pod

00:22:22.780 so he's got that madonna thing going on calacanis or calacanis

00:22:32.060 i can never i can never remember oh anyway it's one of those um but he was on the trigonometry

00:22:39.980 podcast and he said somewhat cheekily uh i would say with a twinkle in his eye 0.98

00:22:47.980 that uh that trump won because uh he's incredible at manipulating weak dumb people 0.98

00:22:56.380 and now you could tell by the look on his face when he said it 0.98

00:23:00.940 that he was being intentionally provocative um but here's the thing he's not wrong

00:23:07.660 he's not wrong the the public is not filled with geniuses and they're not filled with you know atlas

00:23:19.900 strong people the public needs leaders it needs people who are stronger than they are

00:23:26.940 and in the opinion of the people being led somebody who's got a better idea so yes i mean those are the 0.97

00:23:35.020 insulting words to use for it that he's good at manipulating weak dumb people but let me give 0.94

00:23:40.860 another word for it leadership leadership do you know who doesn't need leadership uh brilliant strong 0.98

00:23:50.300 people but how many are there there aren't that many brilliant strong people you know we notice them 0.98

00:23:57.420 whenever we see them so no that's leadership you could call it manipulating the dumb and weak people 0.95

00:24:04.460 or you could say he's showing people who are not as plugged in as he is and not as strong 0.97

00:24:11.580 where they should go and they seem to enjoy that situation enough to vote for him for a second time

00:24:17.500 so there's a fine fine line between manipulating and leadership and i would say that the single

00:24:27.100 defining point the most important point is why are you doing it

00:24:30.700 it's leadership if you're doing it for everybody's benefit or the greater good let's say um and it's

00:24:38.780 manipulating if you're just doing it for your own benefit but the president is the one job i think we

00:24:44.780 should all agree on is so transparent that there is no way to do a bad job as president and then be happy

00:24:53.740 about it when you're done that's not a thing joe biden's you know uh entire term is now a disgrace

00:25:02.620 basically because he couldn't keep it together long enough to get a second term and prevented kamala

00:25:08.140 harris from having a you know the best chance she could of winning or anybody else from the best chance

00:25:12.460 so biden by failing at that critical decision point knows that his legacy is now

00:25:22.780 half of what it could have been do you think trump wants a bad legacy do you think he wants the trump

00:25:29.260 name to be dragged through the toilet of history or does he want to do the best job he could right in

00:25:35.980 front of you as transparently as possible so that he doesn't have to convince you it was a good job you

00:25:41.900 saw yourself to me it seems obvious that he's deeply deeply motivated to do a great job and

00:25:49.820 anything short of that would be disappointing to trump i would imagine certainly disappointing to

00:25:54.540 his supporters and his family we expect great things well putin according to just the news

00:26:04.380 vladimir putin described trump as a quote courageous man who was quote hounded from all sides during the

00:26:11.580 presidential campaign and he congratulated trump on his victory and uh putin said quote he behaved in

00:26:18.700 my opinion in a very correct way courageously like a real man he's putin said i take this opportunity to

00:26:26.140 congratulate him on his election he said he's all he is ready to speak to trump about the war in ukraine

00:26:33.500 quote what was said about the desire to restore relations with russia to bring about the end of the ukrainian

00:26:39.180 crisis in my opinion this deserves attention at least said putin now you know how this is going

00:26:47.260 to be framed by the good guys and the bad guys the bad guys well let me not call them bad guys let's

00:26:54.300 let's just say in the spirit of unity i'll say the democrats for now uh you know the democrats are

00:27:03.660 going to say oh you're you're putin's puppet oh trump why are you so nice to dictators why are you being

00:27:10.860 so good to dictators and then all the people who have any experience in business or any experience in

00:27:18.300 politics and have ever negotiated anything are going to say uh are you all 0.99

00:27:25.020 weak and dumb like jason says because let me explain how negotiating works first you listen to 0.99

00:27:37.420 your person you're negotiating with and you try to agree with as much as possible so that you're both 0.99

00:27:44.060 shaking your heads yes before you get to the hard stuff now what would be the best way to bond you know

00:27:50.860 to find something in common between putin and trump which would make both of them

00:27:57.980 better at negotiating with with each other which is your ideal situation you don't want one of the

00:28:03.020 people to think they went away oh i got you know bullied into something you want both of them to think

00:28:08.940 this is a good negotiation i'm going in this strong i'm going in and against somebody strong we respect

00:28:15.820 each other we can say we can be honest you know you're you're bad here you're good here we like

00:28:21.260 the good stop doing the bad it's kind of a perfect situation so i'm pretty sure that 100 of all the

00:28:29.740 people have had experience in negotiating that used to be one of my one of my corporate jobs was

00:28:35.340 negotiating with vendors over prices and stuff and yeah this is a this is negotiating 101

00:28:43.820 one trump should be saying that putin's a strong leader that putin uh is been maybe good for russia

00:28:53.740 that might be a little too far but you can say good things about him

00:28:59.180 um there's some talk about trump maybe pardoning hunter biden because that would be a good way to

00:29:04.940 you know get some unity back and things um i don't think hunters should be pardoned in the say at

00:29:11.580 the same time there are still legal risks law fair let's call it against trump now there is

00:29:19.660 optimism that all of trump's legal problems will be swept away and that might happen but it hasn't

00:29:26.940 happened yet so i think it's certainly premature to be talking about any pardons but as mike bends

00:29:34.380 weighs in on this he said talking about the hunter biden pardon he said i'm actually okay with this

00:29:39.580 on the condition the hunter becomes a federal informant for six months and tells the trump

00:29:45.260 dog every federal crime committed by the cia state department and some other groups

00:29:52.300 and and gives up gives the comms now i don't think there's any chance in the world

00:29:58.780 that hunter biden could roll over on the cia and the atlantic council and

00:30:03.100 uh anybody else because i think literally he would be killed you know if there's anything there 0.93

00:30:11.020 that that really needs to be hit i think you would actually be killed

00:30:15.980 uh like literally no joke no hyperbole i think you would be killed so i don't think there's really a 0.88

00:30:21.660 chance of that um so it's too bad i i have uh there's definitely a strong part of me that would like

00:30:32.940 the hunter biden thing to be wrapped up and and maybe it's a gift of the country to say can we get

00:30:39.180 past this and just you know take care of business this is the past he was a drug addict maybe he did

00:30:45.900 some illegal money laundering ukraine things but we don't have to worry about it now we're past it

00:30:55.340 so i mean you don't you don't need to give somebody a pardon unless they actually did something

00:31:00.300 that is jailable and it looks like maybe there's some jailable things in there if you look hard enough

00:31:05.980 i don't know so so i guess i'm on the fence on this one um but definitely no as long as trump is

00:31:14.300 still in lawfare territory bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:31:25.260 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:31:32.060 think um so as a fisher king points out on x uh that winning the popular vote was a pretty big deal

00:31:44.060 and we have the blue states to thank for that because it means that a lot of people like me

00:31:49.500 got people to vote in california and i voted for the first time in memory um because we knew that

00:31:56.700 winning the popular vote changed everything i did not want to be in a situation where trump won the

00:32:03.420 you know the electoral vote but not the popular vote that was not where i wanted to be at all

00:32:10.860 and i think that some of the reason that democrats are quiet

00:32:17.260 is because there is no strategy that cleanly gets you past the fact that a majority of americans who voted

00:32:24.380 were on the other side and think you did a bad job and you know your package of policies wasn't good

00:32:32.860 enough now if it were not the majority at the same time that the major media is on the is in favor of

00:32:41.500 democrats i mean that's a hell of a message just think think of waking up imagine this imagine you you

00:32:51.260 went to sleep and when you went to sleep you were the moral authority of the country you were the good

00:32:59.260 guys not only were you the good moral ethical authority of the country because you're a good

00:33:04.860 democrat unlike those terrible terrible mega people but you were also in the majority so you were the good

00:33:11.740 people and you were in the majority and then you wake up and you find out you're not in the majority

00:33:18.700 and there was a good reason for it you weren't the good people after all because you were the ones

00:33:27.980 pushing the wokeness and the lies and then you watched your leaders the same leaders who told

00:33:34.780 you that if trump became elected he would be hiller like actually literally like killer he would round

00:33:43.500 up people in camps and all this and then one minute after the polls call the the winner those same

00:33:51.260 democrats who told you with the serious faces you're all going to be rounded up they all said well

00:33:59.820 peaceful transfer of power i guess the system worked better luck next time and then tens of millions of

00:34:06.860 democrats said wait a minute how do you square that how does peaceful transfer of power ever hook up with

00:34:17.260 we're electing hitler that's the wrong answer if he's really hitler you should not be bragging about a

00:34:24.060 peaceful transfer of power you should be talking about your underground resistance which will try to you know 0.82

00:34:30.620 kill them as soon as they can now of course i'm against that no violence please but the point is at 0.81

00:34:36.700 least that would be consistent if the things you told your own people were anywhere near true 0.99

00:34:43.420 you should not be rolling over and accepting this new dictator for a day so i think that the spell

00:34:53.020 maybe got broken

00:34:54.060 and i saw some some more talk today about the fine people hoax changing somebody's mind and how much it

00:35:02.540 broke their brain um i forget what it was i'll get to it but think about how important the winning the um

00:35:12.060 the actual total vote was not just the electoral vote being the majority by like a solid five million or

00:35:20.060 whatever it is now changes everything it you you can no longer see yourself as the safe reasonable people

00:35:30.380 who are trying to protect the world from these you know these weirdos who have weird opinions

00:35:36.780 it turns out that the weirdos were the majority literally the weirdos remember remember when waltz

00:35:43.740 and kamla had this brilliant idea that they'll call the trump supporters weirdos

00:35:50.700 why do you call people weirdos it's only because you think they're the minority

00:35:56.940 turns out there were more weirdos than there were anti-weirdos i love my weirdos by the way

00:36:04.780 more weirdos please the more the better

00:36:11.340 oh you got a winner in pennsylvania

00:36:15.420 senate winner good

00:36:16.460 anyway let's see what else has happened here um

00:36:26.700 so this is what uh so colin rugg did a good job of summarizing on x the things that trump said he had

00:36:33.980 10 things he wants to do to effectively get rid of the deep state so i think it's worth reading all 10 of

00:36:41.980 them to you so i won't go into detail but just get a sense of what trump said now here's the thing i

00:36:47.900 love about trump and one of the things he got right the first time the first time he ran as soon as he was

00:36:53.820 elected he started doing presidential stuff like he didn't wait until he was sworn in like anything he

00:37:01.100 could do legally that was presidential like he visited the ford and some other plant and tried to

00:37:07.660 keep american jobs here and and it was just sort of brilliant because it gave you a first look at

00:37:14.300 what a trump presidency would look like and you're like oh wow he's already on the job he's definitely

00:37:18.860 putting in the work for me i like that so here he is again telling you what he has

00:37:25.340 it in store and he's very specific it's 10 things here they are uh immediately reissue

00:37:34.940 is 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats

00:37:41.820 i didn't know he couldn't do that but apparently there must have been some employee protection or

00:37:47.100 something but uh he can remove rogue bureaucrats he wants to clean out all the corrupt actors in our 0.60

00:37:54.300 national security and intelligence apparatus i don't know how you do that exactly but i agree

00:38:00.380 it has to be done he wants to totally reform the fisa courts which are so corrupt he says

00:38:07.100 that the judges seemingly do not care when they're lied to in warrant applications

00:38:12.540 that i mean i think they do care but they act like they don't care because they grant pretty much

00:38:18.540 anything um here's number four listen to this one you ready for this this is number four on his list

00:38:29.260 expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart

00:38:35.660 there it is there it is yeah how about exposing the hoaxes

00:38:44.460 i remind you that the americandebunk.com page is a really well done professional page of

00:38:53.020 trump hoaxes being debunked so there is already a mechanism for that he just needs to send enough

00:38:59.500 eyeballs to it and i love the fact that it's an enumerated top 10 thing because if you don't take

00:39:07.660 out the the hoaxes and the abuses of power the hoaxes are the part that i care about the most

00:39:15.420 if you don't take care of the hoaxes then the democrats can build back their hoaxocracy which has

00:39:21.260 temporarily collapsed so at the moment there are a whole bunch of democrats saying to themselves and

00:39:28.940 each other did we get everything wrong charlotte charlamagne the god for example is saying that

00:39:37.420 democrats read the room wrong there must be a lot of voters who are saying the same things like did we

00:39:43.900 did we read everything in the country wrong and the answer is yes yes if they thought they were the

00:39:49.100 majority and they were on on the side of the angels yes they read the room wrong very wrong

00:39:55.740 all right number five launch a major crackdown on government leakers who glued with the fake news

00:40:04.300 um i like that because that's again going after the hoaxes make every inspector general's office

00:40:09.740 independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee that seems like a pretty

00:40:17.740 smart structural change seven ask congress to establish an independent auditing system

00:40:24.860 to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they're not spying on our citizens

00:40:30.060 or running disinformation campaigns against the american people or that they are not spying on

00:40:35.900 someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign i like that he likes to work that in there

00:40:42.860 he likes to work in the the shiv in his list of top tens um 0.92

00:40:47.580 i i i think that's worth trying but isn't the whole point of a spy agency that you you can lie even

00:40:59.260 to people in your own country i mean is the cia supposed to tell people the exact truth all the time

00:41:06.540 i don't know how that works because because i would think if you create an organization whose job is to lie

00:41:13.340 for the benefit of the country then they could lie anytime they had an argument

00:41:20.620 that maybe it's for the benefit of the country so i don't know how that works so maybe there's

00:41:25.500 a way to audit them it's worth a try number eight continued the effort launched by the trump admin to

00:41:32.380 move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside of the washington swamp

00:41:37.820 that feels like a a solution that people who are smarter and more well informed than i am

00:41:46.620 would say that's a good idea i guess if you just move them physically there's less swampy connections

00:41:55.500 and i could see how that would be true uh but i'd have to see it work to know that it's a solution

00:42:02.460 because i feel like the swamp can follow you you know we have phones and zoom and stuff so i don't know

00:42:08.620 maybe if you can't have lunch with the rest of the swamp it doesn't get to you but it's worth a try

00:42:15.580 it's worth a try um how about number nine work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the

00:42:23.900 companies they deal with and that they regulate you know that's a tough one um i think everybody thinks

00:42:31.660 that that makes the country at risk when the people are doing the regulating are too cozy with the the

00:42:38.940 industry that they're regulating on the other hand you want people who are so well connected

00:42:45.900 that the pharma industry would want to hire them as soon as they could

00:42:51.180 so there's there's part of me that wishes there was some way to solve this without reducing the rights of

00:42:58.460 people to work where they want to work you know you know how non-compete agreements are usually

00:43:04.940 i think this is true i think they're usually thrown out by courts you know your employer can't tell you

00:43:09.820 not to work for the competition i think it might depend on certain situations or states or something

00:43:15.980 but i don't love anything that limits where i can go to work but on the other hand

00:43:26.620 if the regulators are too cozy with the regulated then the whole thing falls apart

00:43:31.020 so i guess tentatively this would be one thing that i would also be in favor of but i would say that

00:43:37.740 for for for having 10 things on his list and i'll get to the last one last ones push a constitutional

00:43:43.980 amendment to oppose to oppose not to oppose to put term limits on congress i don't think there's any chance

00:43:51.580 of term limits but these are 10 things which most of them look good at the first look and several of

00:44:00.860 them look like something that's worth trying and then if it doesn't work adjust that's that's how the

00:44:07.420 whole country should work try something that looks like a good idea it looks like it solves the problem

00:44:12.620 if it doesn't work pull it back do it again america is really good 0.88

00:44:18.300 at at you know shit canning the stuff that didn't work it's sort of a superpower we have so yeah let's 0.84

00:44:25.500 try some stuff um trump also vowed separately to put on the first day to end gender affirming care 0.96

00:44:36.060 now that's the the democrats call it gender affirming care republicans call it mutilating

00:44:43.100 um young people uh we don't need to get into that debate except to say that it was a very popular

00:44:51.900 common opinion that children should be exempt from the transitioning i think that the what what is the

00:44:58.140 national approval for blocking children from transitioning like 70 or 80 percent 90 it was way up

00:45:07.900 there it's like crazy popular so yeah do do that right away so again this was something that trump

00:45:15.820 could do on day one literally um that would look like he's really getting stuff done and the golden

00:45:23.420 age is coming things are working mike ben's again um he had a really interesting idea because as you know

00:45:34.380 he's described uh over the past few years the censorship um network the web of censorship uh non-government

00:45:45.100 organizations so there are all these entities that are not part of the government but in many cases our

00:45:51.340 government as well as others other entities fund them so some of the things we fund are are these

00:46:00.460 disinformation censorship people that really are more like censorship and so he's so what mike ben says

00:46:09.340 is if that you could you couldn't totally dismantle that system but you could give it something like a

00:46:16.540 you know an almost lethal blow with one executive order that would prohibit funding by any government

00:46:24.700 agency to any outside group involved in regulating flagging or downranking so-called disinformation

00:46:32.780 because you know that turns into censorship now how good an idea is that

00:46:39.580 like really good now let me teach you something about the

00:46:44.300 trump administration i'm going to say this with confidence without knowing yet

00:46:50.380 if i'm right remember i always tell you that the person with the best ideas in charge

00:46:57.900 it's just always true if you're the junior person at the meeting but when your turn comes to talk you

00:47:04.060 have the best idea well if people recognize it as the best idea i guess you were in charge even though

00:47:11.500 you're the junior person and this is one of those clean examples i think and what makes it a clean

00:47:18.540 example is and when you read it you say to yourself well yeah of course of course yeah take the funding

00:47:24.220 away from people who are trying to censor americans we have free speech so this is just a plain good idea

00:47:32.460 with a very specific mechanism which doesn't cost much of anything in executive order and it would be

00:47:40.620 just a huge blow to a big part of the disinformation fabric now here's my prediction

00:47:48.460 my prediction is because i've been saying this a lot that the trump administration is better than

00:47:53.900 probably any administration ever at reading the room and also accepting um suggestions that come from

00:48:02.140 good sources so when elon musk says you know what if you let me i can take a bunch of money out of the

00:48:09.100 government what does trump say does trump say oh no that will be taking the the uh the limelight away

00:48:17.180 from me i can't have you getting in there no he says really elon musk the guy who took 80 of the

00:48:24.460 employees out of twitter and increased the number of features he's willing to work for free he has all

00:48:31.340 the credibility of you know the public and he can do this thing which desperately needs to be done

00:48:38.860 yes yes yes you know the democrats are talking to beyonce they can't even get beyonce to sing

00:48:48.220 right and and trump's got he's got people like naval and elon musk and you know a whole bunch of others

00:48:56.140 just volunteering to do the most important work that needs to be done rfk jr he he just comes and

00:49:02.460 says you know the food supply is poison uh our big pharma is all messed up if you let me i can fix all

00:49:08.780 that what does trump say oh no i could never work with the democrat no nope oh no there was that one

00:49:18.140 time you said that thing that i disagreed with no he just said wait what is it you want to do

00:49:26.780 you want to fix our food supply and fix how pharma gets decided so that science is more prominent

00:49:33.180 than that that's a good idea go do that so i'm going to predict that this will make its way to the

00:49:43.580 trump administration that they will be looking for good ideas to do right away and that i would be

00:49:51.740 surprised if this doesn't happen so i want you to watch for it because i want you to see your

00:49:57.020 government at work so mike ben's has very good reputation you know among at least the right uh as being a

00:50:06.220 really solid smart source you know so if he says this is a good idea i feel like i'm pretty certain it

00:50:15.980 is and i think that the trump administration would have the same impressions like oh wow really we could

00:50:22.940 get all that done with one executive order let's let's run that up the flagpole see if it see if it

00:50:28.060 works so watch this one just watch if this good idea gets translated into policy

00:50:38.140 well as you might imagine and wired is reporting um that the left is uh complaining that maybe the

00:50:45.820 election was rigged because how in the world could all those votes be missing you know they're looking

00:50:52.860 for their own missing votes because kamala didn't get so far they haven't haven't finished counting the

00:50:58.060 votes but if in the the uncounted semi-counted votes is lower now here's the funny part

00:51:07.820 my understanding is that there is a russian-inspired hoax

00:51:13.900 that says there are 20 million or maybe 14 or 15 million votes that are sort of missing

00:51:19.420 meaning that there were people that allegedly voted in 2020 for biden that didn't show up for harris

00:51:27.660 where would they be you know that it's it would be very uncommon to go down 15 million votes from

00:51:35.020 the election before especially if it's the vice president from the same administration

00:51:41.020 like it should have been pretty close now the reason that's a hoax and this is my understanding

00:51:49.100 is that it's when all the votes are counted it's going to be about what it was the last time

00:51:57.180 now why that seems so off is that some of the blue states where the the outcome of the lease of the

00:52:03.580 presidential election is obvious like you don't have to finish counting in california to call the

00:52:10.780 state for for uh for harris right you don't have to finish counting in new york and since there's

00:52:16.700 such big populations you know if you're only 75 done counting you've got several million sitting

00:52:23.580 there that are just just waiting to be counted but there's no there's no problem with it they're

00:52:29.020 just waiting to be counted now um if they were the states that were close that that would be a whole

00:52:36.540 different suspicion but if it's the states that you already know where they're going and nobody's

00:52:41.180 questioning it's a blue state and it's going blue and they haven't finished counting yeah

00:52:47.500 you know we might end up with the same number but what's fun about this is that apparently is

00:52:52.860 it's the first hoax that worked on both sides because the the republicans and even in the comments

00:52:58.940 people are putting it in putting it in the comments because they think it's real

00:53:03.820 so the republicans are saying aha we have now proven that 2020 must have been fake

00:53:11.180 because all those votes are missing they're not missing okay so just to be clear there aren't any

00:53:16.860 votes missing that we know of they just haven't all been counted but at the same time according to

00:53:21.740 wired the people on the left are saying this election must be rigged because there are 15

00:53:27.660 million votes missing so somehow if russia really did this and again i don't believe any of the russian

00:53:35.180 stories some of them are going to be true but just automatically i don't believe anything about

00:53:40.060 russia oh russia did it russia did it russia all right right but this would be one of the best

00:53:47.740 the best pranks anybody did if you could get both sides to think it may that it means the election

00:53:52.700 was rigged for the other pretty clever putin if you're behind that well as others have mentioned

00:54:00.300 when joe biden addressed the nation after trump's win we've never seen joe biden look happier

00:54:06.140 you know i saw the comments about it before i saw him and i thought oh you're you're just being

00:54:14.220 political so you're sort of having fun with it and you're just pretending like he's happy but when i

00:54:20.700 look at him he will not he'll not be any more or less happy than he ever is he'll be spewing the

00:54:26.140 fine people hoax etc and then i watched it he is happier than i've ever seen him

00:54:36.060 he couldn't even freaking hide it he couldn't even hide how happy he is

00:54:42.460 and that to me that's hilarious hilarious

00:54:45.820 but but here's the thing that's uh deprogramming his side as i mentioned earlier imagine you're

00:54:54.380 you're uh you're a democrat and you supported biden and you especially supported him because he ran on

00:55:01.660 the fine people story which was a hoax but if you didn't know it you thought my god i can't have trump

00:55:09.580 in charge he called neo-nazis fine people now biden said it said that trump said it but of course

00:55:15.980 it never happened he said the opposite he disavowed them uh and so so biden runs for office because

00:55:24.780 he's running against hitler and that is the moment hitler gets elected here's biden ah it's a good day

00:55:31.340 oh you know peaceful transfer power how you doing hey you in the front is that the way you act when

00:55:40.460 hitler comes to power it is so obvious and it has to be obvious to the democrats themselves

00:55:49.180 that their leadership was not just lying but it was the big lie yeah the the very thing that they

00:55:56.540 were accusing trump of the big lie was that you know trump's hitler and they backed off of the lie

00:56:04.460 the very minute they had to become consistent with their idea of a peaceful transfer of power

00:56:09.740 you know they realized they were in a trap they had to act like that was something

00:56:15.420 unbelievable anyway there are two real world

00:56:22.060 maybe three three real world things that you need to know number one

00:56:26.780 all data is fake all data is fake that matters if it doesn't matter or if it's just some

00:56:34.700 engineering calculation that might be real but in the political realm it's all fake

00:56:40.940 so to those of you who keep sending me the graph of all those alleged missing votes and by the way there

00:56:48.620 might be some missing votes i'm not saying there isn't what i'm saying is that if you believed data

00:56:53.900 in the middle of the fog of the election war that was a mistake and again i have to be careful it could

00:57:01.820 be that the information you have is correct that there are missing votes but if you believed it

00:57:07.900 it because you saw a graph or you saw a social media posts about it in the middle of the fog of the election

00:57:16.620 then you you made a mistake you made a mistake it was too soon to be confident about that

00:57:24.220 that now that doesn't mean it's not true it doesn't mean that we will never find any problems with this

00:57:31.500 election that part i don't know i'm saying that if you have confidence that you're sure those 20 million

00:57:38.860 no it's like everything else is fake all data is fake this is probably more of it we'll find out

00:57:48.380 here's another real world update i said this before but it fits in my list well when

00:57:57.420 when elon musk or rfk jr talk about getting rid of parts of the government that you think are

00:58:05.020 protecting you like fda or cdc or anything else they don't necessarily mean that the government

00:58:12.700 doesn't do that work it may be that you've got two departments and it makes more sense that it all

00:58:18.140 happens in one right so then you're getting rid of a department but you're not getting rid of the thing

00:58:24.300 so if you do what what a elon musk would do because of his engineering mind or what somebody like

00:58:32.060 naval would do they wouldn't say how do we tweak this thing the way it is they'd say if we were

00:58:38.860 building it from scratch what would it look like and if the way it is now is not the way it would look

00:58:45.500 like if you were to build it ideally from scratch well then maybe you make some big changes

00:58:53.740 the other thing is that the deportation question i keep watching republican after republican

00:59:01.500 falling off a cliff because the democrat media is saying this so how in the world can trump deport

00:59:10.940 20 million people it would be chaos you know the families would be broken up and all these things

00:59:19.100 let me describe the real world the real world is where you scare people about what you're going to do

00:59:27.500 so you can get done what you need to do so trump is saying he's going to deport 20 million people

00:59:35.420 is exactly like what he said the first time and and the first time he ran i told you all don't worry

00:59:43.260 about that he's not going to deport 20 million people he's going to get rid of the criminals if he can

00:59:49.340 he's going to seal up the border as well as he can and if you just get the flow down to you know some

00:59:55.260 reasonable level we'll be fine then then it goes from a big problem to a small problem it doesn't

01:00:03.420 really need to be 100 solved it just needs to go from a big problem to a small one so sure enough

01:00:11.340 trump gets in he does a good job of you know closing the at least the flow and rounded up a bunch of

01:00:19.980 criminals and by the end of his term how many of you were saying damn it if only he'd sent back 10

01:00:27.100 million more people not me i i didn't miss i didn't miss the deportations and so i assume in the real

01:00:39.340 world because this is the way the real world always works that trump will focus like a laser on the

01:00:45.500 criminals he will he will put all the resources on the venezuelan gangs and it will take four years

01:00:53.100 to get rid of them and if he seals the border at the same time and ends all these amnesty things and

01:01:00.380 maybe maybe he says something like if he came in illegally during this time you can't vote or you'll

01:01:06.780 never be able to vote or something um you're gonna say oh well but we still have 20 million people

01:01:13.900 living on the streets were migrants and by the end of four years trump will say no we don't because

01:01:21.980 they all got absorbed they it turns out that they wanted to be here and there were employees who

01:01:30.300 employers who wanted them to work and so that problem which is gigantic at the moment and an

01:01:37.820 existential threat to the country at the moment would almost instantly become a medium-sized problem

01:01:46.140 the moment you shut the border and you focus on getting rid of the criminals when you get rid of

01:01:51.500 the criminals and if you successfully kept the border you know nice and tight for four years do you think

01:01:57.900 the country is going to say you failed because there's still 20 million people who are working for 0.69

01:02:04.140 companies and paying taxes that you should have sent back probably not i don't know anybody who would

01:02:12.300 really care so i think that the democrats are playing this game where they know full well that if you talk

01:02:20.620 tough the people who are thinking of coming in during the trump administration will stay home

01:02:25.420 don't you think he's already caused people to stay home of course he has he he's already he's probably

01:02:34.220 on the verge of ending three or four wars just on the threat of him coming into office and he's almost

01:02:41.660 certainly going to reduce the number of people there might be a surge of people trying to get in before

01:02:47.260 he takes office but there should be a sort of automatic decrease in people willing to come in

01:02:53.820 after some initial surge so those are your real world updates in the real world you can re-engineer

01:03:02.540 you don't have to just get rid of stuff and in the real world you don't have to deport 20 million people

01:03:08.860 and you can make everybody happy that's the weird part you can make me completely happy but at the

01:03:15.420 moment i'm thinking you got 20 million too many people you need to do something about those 20 million

01:03:20.700 people but i'll be happy if they're working and you get rid of the criminals and close up the border

01:03:26.540 i could live with that

01:03:29.580 um there's a question about whether the federal reserve should report to the president and whether

01:03:34.700 the president should be able to fire that person there's been a long history of independence

01:03:40.940 and i'm in favor of independence because it you know there should be maybe some process for removing a

01:03:50.780 federal reserve head maybe there is like an impeachment or something but i think it should

01:03:55.340 only be in an emergency uh i don't think that the politician's opinion of what the interest rate should be

01:04:02.140 should be somehow a higher priority than the feds because the fed has that one job but the politician 0.99

01:04:11.100 is also trying to get re-elected so you don't want the person who wants to get re-elected to say hey lower

01:04:18.380 those interest rates when really we'd be better off with holding them higher for a little bit longer

01:04:23.500 so i don't think i want trump to have control over the fed uh i think there's some you know there's

01:04:33.660 gonna be some disagreement on that but i feel like that would be a better safeguard just a little little

01:04:39.900 distance there even if they're not doing exactly what you want well congratulations again to

01:04:45.260 um america first legal you know that's uh the trump friendly uh legal group that's uh pressing every

01:04:56.300 legal challenge that they can all over the country

01:05:00.940 and uh they just won their lawsuit with uh with ken paxton uh so together with him uh so there

01:05:09.660 were a correlation of a coalition of 14 states and they officially stopped the biden harris

01:05:14.140 administration's illegal attempt they say to grant a mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal

01:05:20.700 aliens um good yeah now here's why i agree with this it has nothing to do with amnesty it has everything

01:05:33.740 to do with i don't really like the administration doing some big last minute thing that could affect

01:05:40.700 me this way you know if it turned out that the trump administration looked at it and they said you

01:05:46.300 know what after we've looked at all the ins and outs of this you know maybe we can grant some amnesty

01:05:52.780 to some of these people i'd be okay with that but i feel like it needs to be a a trump decision

01:06:00.060 not the the last minute nonsense done by the administration that's leaving so i would prefer it

01:06:07.500 be decided differently have you heard about the 4b movement apparently it started in south korea and

01:06:17.580 it's a movement telling women to boycott men so in south korea it's because they i guess they've got

01:06:24.300 a patriarchy that's a little too rapey and a little too anti-woman according to some women and so they

01:06:32.460 started in south korea this thing you know don't have sex with men and apparently this is spread to 0.54

01:06:38.860 tick tock and it has to do with the election results not being the way they wanted it and so some women 1.00

01:06:44.620 on tick tock are saying they should be like 4b and uh not mate or date or marry or sleep with any men and 0.80

01:06:52.860 certainly don't have children with them it's called the 4b now 1.00

01:07:02.220 would you like another dad joke we can we can uh yeah we can totally uh bookend this one more dad joke

01:07:11.980 coming in hard so the 4b movement would decrease the number of children that people have i would say 1.00

01:07:20.060 that the 4b is a case of 2b or not to be no okay that was weak that wasn't the strongest ending i will

01:07:32.140 give you that but you see the children would either be or they would they would not be okay if you have

01:07:40.220 to explain it it's no good at all all right well ladies and gentlemen that is what i have for you
