Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2659 CWSA 11⧸14⧸24

00:00:00.000 a little bit mixed today but we have high hopes high hopes let me call up some

00:00:07.640 some comments and we'll have a show for you let me tell you it'll be amazing

00:00:16.400 trust me it'll be amazing probably the best thing you've ever seen

00:00:30.000 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:39.300 coffee with scott adams and you've never had had a better time in your whole life

00:00:44.220 but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody could even understand with

00:00:50.960 their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a copper mugger glass of tanker shells with stein

00:00:55.960 a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee

00:01:01.360 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes

00:01:06.080 everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now thank you paul

00:01:17.800 well let's talk about all the things let's say uh it's been 24 hours since i talked to you last

00:01:29.180 23 actually so did anything happen

00:01:34.820 was there any news made in the last 24 hours anything at all no

00:01:44.940 wait is my cap inside out no my cap is not inside out you bastards this is the official

00:01:54.480 coffee with scott adams hat there you go there you go you see it's me and then that's also me

00:02:05.220 this i know this is going to be confusing for you this is me and this is me

00:02:10.620 try to keep those straight all right did you know that uh caffeine's uh impact on your brain

00:02:19.180 could reduce your cravings for alcohol that's right is there anything that coffee can't do

00:02:26.820 let me check my notes uh anything anything coffee can't do can't do um it can't help

00:02:34.560 Kamala Harris win the presidency but besides that there's nothing it can't do

00:02:39.500 so coffee according to the site side post might make it easier to get off of alcohol if you wanted to

00:02:47.560 did you know that climate models as incredible and valuable and accurate as they are

00:02:56.560 all hundred of them that are different they're going to make them even better

00:03:01.300 wow talk about the golden age huh you got your climate models that are totally believable

00:03:10.120 and now they're going to add wait for it ai that's right that's right the existing climate models

00:03:18.840 oh almost perfect almost just right but what they need is one extra layer of total bullshit called ai

00:03:31.160 because if you can't trust your ai model for predicting the temperature of the earth in 80 years

00:03:38.140 what can you trust

00:03:39.500 well for those of you who've never been around the predictive models let me tell you something

00:03:47.000 it's not the data and it's not the model that determines the answer

00:03:53.360 do you know what determines the answer it's not the data and it's not the model what is it

00:04:01.520 it's the assumptions

00:04:03.620 because the assumptions are not data they're assumptions about well i think we got all the

00:04:09.960 variables and then you compare it to all the other models and go well they're making different

00:04:15.420 assumptions about the clouds but we like our assumptions it's the assumptions that give you

00:04:23.380 the output and if they didn't like the output they wouldn't tell you what ai did to it it's pretty much

00:04:29.820 just the assumptions well meanwhile scientists have developed a breakthrough nasal spray

00:04:37.220 that could delay alzheimer's for over a decade according to sci tech daily but they have only put it into animals so far

00:04:45.580 now i don't know how many animals actually get alzheimer's or how many animals even live 10 years so you can check

00:04:55.280 but the way you do it is you give it to the animal let's say a cow and then you wait 10 years

00:05:01.800 and you say to the cow hey do you recognize me and if the cow just stares you like doesn't even know you

00:05:09.940 that's alzheimer's but

00:05:12.980 okay i'm just kidding they don't give it to cows probably

00:05:17.560 might be maybe a rat or something all right but here's my scientific knowledge question for you

00:05:23.680 i asked a version of this on x this will sound like i'm leading to something

00:05:28.700 but it's really for your general knowledge

00:05:32.160 number one if something is tested in the lab and it works in the lab and then it also works in

00:05:41.360 in animals what are the odds it will work in a person go in the comments tell me the odds there's

00:05:50.100 something that works in the lab and it kills things in a test tube and it works in an animal

00:05:55.580 and it's safe enough and effective enough in the animal what are the odds that that will translate to

00:06:02.480 human usefulness your numbers are way too big 25 but you're being funny the real answer is five to

00:06:10.680 ten percent five to ten percent now let's make it more interesting there are two reasons that a drug

00:06:18.560 would not be approved for human use one is if it's too dangerous two if it's not let's say bioavailable

00:06:29.360 meaning that if it could get to the right part of your body you know cross whatever membranes and

00:06:35.620 get into whatever parts then it might be effective but if it doesn't in a human but maybe it does in a

00:06:42.200 rat then that would be another reason it doesn't work now there could be lots of other reasons it

00:06:47.940 doesn't work but those are two big ones so now i'm going to revise my question let's say you're

00:06:53.340 dealing with an already improved drug that's being used for a different purpose so it's approved and

00:07:00.020 it's safe and the safety profile is excellent so you know for sure that it works in the lab

00:07:07.060 you already tested it that it works in animals and you know for sure because it's an improved drug

00:07:14.820 that's been around forever that it won't hurt you now what are your odds that it would be approved

00:07:19.800 for a human works in the lab works in an animal definitely doesn't hurt anybody what's your odds now

00:07:27.100 the answer is nobody knows which is weird because it seems to me that would be a really important

00:07:35.940 thing to know if you were in that line of work what percentage of drugs do you think work even in

00:07:42.660 a human but but at the end they go oh damn it works it totally works but you know 10 of the people

00:07:50.480 who took it died so you know can't be approved i don't know but you you have to assume that

00:07:57.500 some amount of the drugs are only rejected because they hurt humans but they didn't hurt the rat

00:08:03.140 all right now suppose you knew also that since it was an approved drug it had a good ability to

00:08:13.840 sort of become bioavailable in other words uh it's already something used in humans so it must be able

00:08:20.840 to get to the good parts of a human but depending on what your new use for it is it might need to get

00:08:26.800 into the brain versus the heart versus the bone so maybe there's a difference there so let's say you

00:08:32.300 knew it was bioavailable in general for some other purpose worked in the lab worked in an animal

00:08:39.840 definitely is not dangerous and is bioavailable meaning it gets to the right parts of the body

00:08:46.700 for some other use now what what are the odds that that would work if you want to know what the

00:08:56.380 the reason i'm asking for is that ivermectin works against cancer in a lab and apparently it's worked

00:09:05.700 against cancer in some animals and ivermectin is known to be safe for human use i mean nothing is

00:09:14.480 100 but in terms of meds it's one of the safer ones and we know it's bioavailable because it works

00:09:21.920 against not only what it was meant for some kind of parasites or whatever but it also seemed to have

00:09:32.300 some related benefits for covid which would be a whole different thing so it can get to a worm or

00:09:38.780 a bug in your body whatever it is and it can also get to whatever is affecting a virus

00:09:46.480 so now what are the odds knowing all of those things that the lab tests of ivermectin

00:09:55.440 would translate into human success does anybody have a guess well i don't but it would be really

00:10:04.880 interesting if that's the sort of thing that science can sort out because wouldn't you like to

00:10:09.760 know what the odds of a specific drug is versus what are the odds of drugs in general so if you say

00:10:17.060 to me we developed this thing and it works in the lab and it works in an animal and and then you

00:10:22.460 calculate the odds from that alone i feel like that's not treating it as individual enough i feel

00:10:30.180 like each specific drug probably scientists could come up with an estimate for that kind of drug

00:10:37.220 you know more like well this one's 80 percent but this one's more like 10 percent so anyway we should

00:10:44.040 know that all right so let's get into the politics um so according to ars technica the advertisers who

00:10:56.400 may have been hesitant to advertise on x before because of politics or because of their own preferences

00:11:02.680 or whatever may be looking to moderate that and maybe get back to advertising on x do you know why

00:11:11.520 because the advertisers are concerned that if they don't advertise on x elon musk might have a bad

00:11:19.420 opinion of them for not advertising on his platform and he might have the ear of the president and the

00:11:25.580 president controls the government which has a lot of control over companies so if you were a company

00:11:31.540 that ever wanted the u.s government to do something in the future that would help you

00:11:36.220 might be good to know that you had advertised on the only free speech platform now how much do i like

00:11:47.240 that not at all you you shouldn't be happy about that because what is being described is essentially

00:11:54.860 bribery am i right i mean it wouldn't be illegal but if the reason that somebody is going to advertise

00:12:02.040 on x is so that they can preserve their options with the government um that's not good that's not

00:12:10.320 the country you want to live in you don't want people choosing their advertising space based on

00:12:15.820 revenge from the government so no not cool now i'm not also not sure that it's real right ars technica

00:12:23.360 says that people are thinking this way and it would be consistent with everything we know about how money works

00:12:31.140 we do know big companies will move large amounts of money to whatever is influential you know whether

00:12:37.940 it's lobbyists or anything else so i don't think they're wrong in terms of a prediction

00:12:44.600 but i don't love to see it as much as i love uh everything about x and i love seeing elon musk involved

00:12:54.420 in the government exactly the way he is i don't love that this is the way x would become profitable

00:13:01.600 although i want it to be profitable so anyway it's not exactly the right incentive structure

00:13:10.000 meanwhile in news that it took me 30 minutes to believe the first 30 minutes i thought it was a joke

00:13:18.100 that alex jones's info wars all the assets for that company that went up for auction because of the

00:13:24.740 sandy hook issues was purchased by the company that owns the onion

00:13:29.820 so obviously i didn't believe it i'm like okay that didn't happen the no no the satirical

00:13:39.700 company that's why it's a joke because you know it'd be funny if the onion bought it so so obviously it's not

00:13:46.860 the onion and then i would see another post on x and i think huh wow this is a good prank it really

00:13:53.520 fooled a lot of people and then i'd see more and then i'd see it attributed to the ap and i thought

00:14:00.020 wait a minute there are a lot of details on this story and then i found out like the name of the

00:14:06.540 parent company i'm thinking huh did this actually happen in the actual real world the onion bought

00:14:14.720 info wars now i heard somebody say that they thought that the sandy hook victims

00:14:20.420 you know were were behind it to get it to be an anti-gun platform or something but

00:14:27.040 am i wrong that the onion stopped being funny several years ago

00:14:32.260 am i wrong about that do you remember when the onion was the funniest thing on the internet

00:14:38.120 i mean by far it was just the funniest thing on the internet and then something happened

00:14:42.520 and i don't know i think maybe i thought i changed or maybe i just wasn't seeing their posts as much

00:14:50.340 but they kind of disappeared or at least they didn't produce any viral content because i just

00:14:57.160 stopped seeing them so i didn't know what happened to the onion i thought you know they closed or

00:15:01.180 something but apparently they changed management and i don't know what their management is up to but

00:15:06.980 they've now bought two properties that uh you'd have to wonder why they would do it to the onion

00:15:12.400 as it was dying and info wars just the assets but if he's buying a studio situation and an ip

00:15:21.780 and a bunch of customers i don't know maybe but but if you were left leaning what good would it be

00:15:30.660 to have a bunch of customer lists of people who watched info wars i don't know there's something

00:15:37.680 about this story that isn't making sense so until we see what the buyer has in mind for this we won't

00:15:43.840 really know what's happening here all right i got a question for you there's another story sounds like

00:15:50.580 the same story that's every day in in the news but there's another teacher this one's a woman

00:15:56.000 who is allegedly she raped a 13 year old i assume boy um and she ditched her husband for the boy that

00:16:05.500 she called her crystal meth so now when they show the picture of the woman you look at her eyes in the

00:16:15.420 photograph and you say to yourself oh okay i've seen those eyes before you've seen them on adam schiff

00:16:22.700 you've seen them in charles manson you've seen them in aoc

00:16:27.020 and you've seen them in a lot of tiktok videos where people were shaving their heads and acting crazy

00:16:35.740 and so here's my question do you believe that ai can spot crazy people by their eyes if you asked it to

00:16:45.420 let me tell the tell you the answer in advance yes you definitely can if you trained ai to spot

00:16:53.840 people who are mentally ill or at least going to be acting way outside the box of normal behavior

00:16:59.360 you could do it now i don't think you could do it a hundred percent i do think there are some people

00:17:05.960 who just have sort of bug eyes and maybe adam schiff is one of them i don't know but i think you could

00:17:13.540 get eighty percent wouldn't you like to know if somebody's got mental illness just by their eyes

00:17:23.860 okay and that's just by how wide they are i think if you started looking at like you know the pupils

00:17:30.020 you you get a whole different level of knowledge so yes i believe it is inevitable that ai will start

00:17:37.180 trying to spot crazy people by their eyes not crazy but not but maybe uh criminally inappropriate

00:17:46.240 people well in the midst of the busiest news day we're all we're going to talk about all the

00:17:52.060 appointments uh there was a uap hearing uap being the new word for ufos basically and there's a

00:17:59.720 whistleblower uh lou elizondo who says the united states has uap technologies not made by our

00:18:07.240 government or any other government and uh tim gallu day is telling us that uaps represent a new

00:18:17.160 realization that we are not the only advanced intelligence in our universe and allegedly other

00:18:23.180 governments also have some uap technology that they're trying to reverse engineer

00:18:29.240 if i if i may summarize all of this news uh once again there's somebody who does not have a photograph

00:18:38.420 has no personal firsthand knowledge of anything

00:18:43.160 and no i don't believe a single thing about the uap reports not a single thing i do not believe there is

00:18:52.600 an alien intelligence i do not believe there's an ancient civilization of beings that are in the

00:18:59.360 ocean and they've got you know crafts that sometimes come out of the ocean i do not believe one thing

00:19:05.280 about this story do you know why because this story could have been the same story for the last 50 years

00:19:12.100 there's not one time that i've been alive that you couldn't trot down a whistleblower to say that

00:19:17.460 same damn stuff what changed where's my video where's my piece of material that could have only made

00:19:25.540 been made in space nothing nothing there's just nothing so no i could be wrong and normally i would

00:19:37.220 take this as what i call a recreational belief like i want to believe it i'd love to believe it

00:19:42.660 but no this fits every pattern of a thing that hasn't been true and won't be true

00:19:48.500 for the last my entire life basically so i hate to ruin it but i don't think there are any uaps

00:19:57.120 however in the dilbert comic which you would have to subscribe to on either x or the locals platform

00:20:03.100 to see dogbert does have a uap so dogbert's going to be using a dilbert's uap that he invented in his

00:21:12.860 responsibly well here's my big theme for today are you ready for big theme for today big theme a national

00:21:23.840 national correction is in process meaning that the united states have gone completely off the rails

00:21:30.560 but for reasons that seem to be almost entirely about trump everything seems to have reversed and

00:21:40.080 started moving in the right direction just everywhere now there might be some exceptions of course but the

00:21:47.360 number of things that are suddenly moving in the right direction are mind-boggling jaw-dropping

00:21:55.280 makes your hair catch on fire let me give you some examples

00:22:01.280 now the republicans have the presidency the senate they have it's now confirmed they will have the house

00:22:08.400 by maybe four or five votes and of course the majority in the supreme court

00:22:13.520 so that is clearly the country saying hey these people the democrats were not getting it done

00:22:22.720 so we're going to correct and boy did they correct not only did they correct they gave us a

00:22:28.880 um an advantage in the actual total vote not just the electoral college you know the popular vote so

00:22:35.280 that's big we've seen a couple of soros da's removed in california so as long as the number of soros

00:22:42.720 prosecutors are moving backwards that's great we've seen that elon musk is committed to getting republicans

00:22:50.640 elected so he'll have a sort of an anti-soros fund that will be operating against soros that's great

00:22:58.080 um we see that the trump transition team is considering creating some kind of border review

00:23:07.040 to remove generals and admirals that are too woke and too worthless yes thank you

00:23:15.840 you know i've been telling you for a long time that i was trying to understand why if you see let's say a

00:23:22.160 senator who does an interview on the news even if you don't agree with them and even if you think

00:23:28.160 they're lying you come away thinking okay that's a pretty smart person you know i don't trust them but

00:23:34.800 you know smart and you would see a scientist you say i'm not sure i believe all that but

00:23:42.560 obviously you're smart and generally speaking public figures who have you know reached some some

00:23:49.680 level they're usually pretty smart but whenever i would watch the generals who would come on let's

00:23:56.960 say during the trump administration even before that when they were done i would think to myself

00:24:02.320 why don't they come off as smart like what is general milley

00:24:08.560 just doesn't look like even a democrat senator or he just doesn't come off as smart and i won't name names

00:24:17.680 but there are several others that fall in that category where they're not just not smart they seem

00:24:24.400 almost aggressively dumb and not because of their politics because they don't really get political

00:24:31.120 most of the time so i'm not even judging them on politics i'm just demeanor and presentation and

00:24:37.360 you know just the vibe it's like you know you just don't seem that smart so if you add that to the

00:24:42.960 fact that you know there's wokeness that's infected them and their political appointees

00:24:47.920 in many cases they didn't get all the way there based on talent it was maybe politics

00:24:55.360 it's good to see that there's going to be a tough look and which ones to remove

00:25:00.080 i would argue that lawfare may have ended lawfare against trump may have ended and now that the republicans

00:25:09.680 are firmly in charge i would expect that there will not be more lawfare against republicans what we hope

00:25:18.480 well i guess we don't all hope this but i hope what i hope is that there is not any

00:25:24.800 gross lawfare against democrats i i want to say clearly and you know loudly and publicly i do not favor any

00:25:35.040 any revenge lawfare none i do favor really going after real crimes and to me it seems there are

00:25:45.840 some pretty obvious real crimes that have not been addressed so if matt gates as you all know by now

00:25:52.160 matt gates has been nominated we don't know if he can get confirmed even if there's a recess appointment

00:25:57.680 apparently there's some question about that um but i do love the fact that whoever is going to be the ag

00:26:05.360 whether it's matt gates or or not it's going to end lawfare at least against republicans now i think we have

00:26:14.160 an obligation and a responsibility it's a spider-man problem republicans now have the power

00:26:20.080 power and the republican voters i argue have power over the government that is not the case the other

00:26:28.240 way i don't believe the public has power over the democrat government except to remove them but in the

00:26:34.080 republican world they really do listen to the base and they respond pretty quickly so uh i think that those

00:26:42.160 who support the government should make sure that if you got your choice the best way to keep it

00:26:49.600 is to not go crazy with lawfare when it's just not called for but again nobody's above the law so if it's

00:26:58.000 a real crime and we all saw it and uh there's transparency involved about going after it yes yes on that

00:27:08.080 uh diddy is in jail and hollywood is basically completely neutered in these celebrities that

00:27:14.800 were talking about harris uh they decided to shut the f up after the election because i think they

00:27:21.520 noticed they're not the majority i i think the illusion that hollywood was always under is that

00:27:28.000 they were sort of the leading voices of the rational majority that was sort of the minimum they had to

00:27:34.400 understand about themselves their role in the world well i'm an actor and i wouldn't get involved in

00:27:40.080 this except the majority doesn't have as good a voice as i do because i get attention so for the

00:27:45.520 benefit of the majority i will be their voice and then they found out they weren't the majority

00:27:53.280 i i think that that is the greatest mind f of all time it didn't happen to me

00:27:58.080 so i you know i'm not experiencing it but imagine if you thought you were the majority

00:28:02.400 and you found out you weren't and you and you thought that you were on the side of the angels

00:28:09.600 and you found out you were pretty much supporting a criminal gang because i think the democrats are

00:28:16.720 just filled with rico problems and and uh money laundering and bribery i don't know how much we'll

00:28:22.480 ever uncover but it seems like the entire democratic party is just a criminal organization at this point

00:28:28.000 and by the way i'm not joking about that in in my personal opinion without the benefit of any court

00:28:36.080 cases that would back me up on this my impression is if you look at the totality of what democrats

00:28:43.040 are doing and have been doing it looks like a criminal organization like actually literally

00:28:50.240 it's it's made to move large amounts of money through various organizations that they control

00:28:55.840 and that appears to be the main purpose because the only thing they're always in favor of is moving

00:29:02.880 a large amount of money through any democrat controlled organization it doesn't even matter if it's blm or

00:29:10.640 climate change or anything else large amounts of money move it through a big activity because then

00:29:17.440 they all get a taste that's where the bribery happens that's where the the money laundry happens

00:29:22.560 so to me i think the overwhelming driving force of the democrat party has been money laundering and

00:29:31.280 bribery at the at the working level and then the the voters have just been confused because i think the

00:29:40.080 voters said i'm looking at two political parties and i like the what i like what one of them says

00:29:46.720 but why is it that when i keep agreeing and voting for the one that keeps saying what i like to hear

00:29:52.880 my life is not improving and that's what everybody noticed their life didn't improve they were buying

00:30:00.320 into what the democrats were saying but their life didn't get better and now everybody noticed that's

00:30:05.760 the benefit of having trump having been in office once you just had a direct comparison you could just

00:30:11.200 look at it and say i like that better so i think a more correct frame is that the democrat party

00:30:17.280 in my opinion and again without the benefit of you know court endorsed findings it looks like it's

00:30:26.640 primarily a criminal activity at least at the leadership levels they're they're trading stocks

00:30:33.600 and making deals and getting their gold bars and uh pointing people to jobs that they're not qualified

00:30:39.760 for and it just all looks like criminal to me now when you look at the the republican side let us let

00:30:48.800 us try to find some unity here and let me say this do i believe that there are no republicans trying to

00:30:55.440 get away with stealing money no i don't believe that i'm sure there's some republicans looking to steal

00:31:00.640 some money what i don't see is that it seems like that's their only job the the democrats act like

00:31:08.480 it's their only job it's like everything is pushing in that direction and the republicans are trying to

00:31:14.320 actually you know do a variety of things that seem like they're good for the country

00:31:18.160 all right here's some more corrections so maybe this diddy thing will and the fact that uh there will

00:31:26.320 be a republican ag may take a big bite out of the whole pedophile situation which i've never known how

00:31:32.480 big it really was but hollywood took a beating uh on the election and everything else the old ditty

00:31:39.600 situation is shutting people up and uh here's another one according to fortune magazine

00:31:48.640 trump's election is going to create a dei reckoning that forces companies to either

00:31:54.960 you know double down or to step away from it that seems like really good news so there are now i think

00:32:02.800 maybe 20 companies biggish companies that have canceled or cut down on their dei and there should be more to

00:32:10.960 come but i also expect that when the government says it's illegal so you have to get rid of it in the

00:32:16.240 the government i i think the big companies have to fold i think they have to follow so you may

00:32:23.280 see the end of dei i can tell you that i've heard almost no wokeness for a week

00:32:30.480 it used to be the all the all the news all the zeitgeist was here's some more woke wokeness and then

00:32:39.040 we would complain about it here's some more and then we complain about it and it just never stopped

00:32:43.920 i feel like the wokeness just stopped

00:32:50.000 the people who would even you know bring up these topics they just stopped because now they realize

00:32:56.640 what the public thinks that the entire trans situation which i always like to remind i'm pro

00:33:04.640 trans adults doing whatever they need to want to just living their life the way they want to

00:33:11.200 but of course you know kids and bathrooms and sports are special cases and they have to be educated

00:33:15.920 adjudicated

00:33:16.720 um but i feel like the trans topic will just sort of disappear or not disappear i think it will shrink

00:33:26.000 to the size it should have been naturally its natural size should have been small

00:33:33.200 and maybe we'll just go back to that

00:33:37.760 but again i wish the best for the trans community

00:33:40.720 um cnn and msnbc both look like they're dead that it looks like they're just you know on fumes

00:33:50.560 is the huffington post still alive did the huffington post close and the the daily beast is having

00:34:00.480 problems and gawker closed and um yeah and of course the old version of twitter is dead

00:34:11.040 and now the abc is uh apparently trying to figure out how to bring in a pro-trump voice to the view

00:34:18.000 and maybe some of their other shows because abc got hammered so badly for handling the

00:34:23.520 the debates poorly so imagine how in the world are they going to put a pro-trump voice on the view

00:34:32.480 all right i'll do it i'll do it now i'm going to obviously need to

00:34:38.800 uh identify as a woman but uh if there was one place in the world i could identify as a woman

00:34:46.320 and everybody would shut the up about it would be the view so if you want me on the view i'm willing

00:34:54.240 to identify as a woman i'll still dress the same because i'll be like a poorly dressed woman

00:35:00.080 i'll look exactly the same i'm just very poorly dressed um

00:35:07.600 and i think i'd be great but i'd have to do it at home because i don't want to commute

00:35:11.760 bank more encores when you switch to a scotiabank banking package

00:35:20.560 learn more at scotiabank.com slash banking packages conditions apply scotiabank you're richer than you

00:35:27.360 think joy reed deleted her x account oh now there is no joy on x oh so that's moving in the right

00:35:40.960 direction uh i will not have to see her mental illness being presented as content um but who

00:35:48.080 else oh don lemon is quitting so don lemon the unluckiest person in media decided that he would quit

00:35:56.320 x on the same week that trump set the entire news business on fire by nominating the most provocative

00:36:05.600 people you could possibly ever nominate and then poor don lemon is trying to get some attention and

00:36:11.840 and i'm i'm quitting what i call twitter because that's an insult to it have you heard that pete

00:36:19.760 hagseth is going to be the secretary of defense i know about you have anybody heard of i'm quitting

00:36:25.600 twitter the attorney general is going to be mac gates maybe i know but also also i won't be posting on

00:36:33.200 twitter sorry don your message has been canceled by bigger news no one cares um meanwhile the star for the

00:36:46.880 disney's disney's uh snow white rachel zegler um she has uh ill feelings about trump and all of his voters

00:36:55.920 so uh that means that disney's snow white movie will lose about a billion dollars

00:37:01.440 so do you think that you could be an actress and get another job if you just cost your employer a billion

00:37:08.880 dollars because this probably cost them a billion dollars because i don't know how many conservatives

00:37:17.360 would have watched this piece of garbage content anyway but once the main actress says fuck you to

00:37:25.520 half of the country half of the country is going to leave that in the you know leave that on the shelf

00:37:30.960 so let's say half the country's children will not be indoctrinated by whatever the hell's on

00:37:37.520 snow white so that's good news ohio lawmakers passed a bill banning biological males from girls bathrooms

00:37:48.880 most of you would call that move in the right direction wouldn't you

00:37:53.120 and let's see did you know that the fema you know that story about the woman who was in charge of

00:38:02.640 one area and she told people to stay away from homes that had trump signs in other words don't help

00:38:11.120 trump voters in an emergency now the first time i heard that i told you i thought oh that's not true

00:38:17.440 i mean that's like an obvious hoax obviously there could not possibly be anything in writing at fema

00:38:24.400 in writing that says don't help trump supporters during an emergency that couldn't possibly be true

00:38:33.440 it's true

00:38:35.920 it's completely true it's worse than that it wasn't just one person the fema worker who got fired

00:38:42.880 says it's not isolated and the fema workers were instructed to do it in the carolinas too

00:38:48.640 according to the gateway pundit

00:38:51.920 it's not only true it was a general fema it was wider than one area it wasn't completely probably

00:39:00.640 now that's the bad news right here's the good news

00:39:07.200 trump's in charge of fema now i guess that just got fixed

00:39:13.280 so here's another thing that got fixed just because trump is coming

00:39:17.280 he's not even there yet and i guarantee you they're getting rid of that rule

00:39:21.520 right did do you think fema is waiting until they get a new boss

00:39:25.840 or they say um let's uh maybe we should kind of quickly revise the way we've been doing this before

00:39:32.480 he gets in charge maybe we should hurry up and clean up our own house and delete all these records

00:39:38.000 so watching how guilty people know they are and watching them change their behavior just in

00:39:45.920 anticipation of trump is pretty awesome it's pretty awesome anyway so those are all the things that are

00:39:55.360 going our way have you ever seen so many things go your way at the same time it really is a remarkable time

00:40:02.400 you know when when trump called it the golden age you always wonder is that hyperbole i don't think it is

00:40:09.600 i i think everything is lining up in a way i've never seen i've never seen or felt anything like this

00:40:16.240 it it's the golden age it's really here now of course we have to make it it's not going to be easy

00:40:24.720 there'll be plenty of challenges but rasmussen did a poll on mass deportations

00:40:30.160 64 percent of likely voters approve of trump's promise to quote on day one

00:40:36.400 launched the largest deportation program in american history to get the criminals out

00:40:43.760 two-thirds of the country is on board with a massive deportation do you think things are changing

00:40:52.000 everything everything is moving in the right direction at the moment

00:40:56.080 meanwhile jack smith one of the guys going after trump in the law fair cases he reported

00:41:05.840 reportedly is going to step down before trump gets into office

00:41:11.840 okay once again we see things are being set right simply by trump is on the way trump hasn't even gotten

00:41:20.320 there to fire anybody yet and they're quitting in anticipation correctly that they will be fired

00:41:27.040 meanwhile chuck grassley and ron johnson have ordered the fbi to preserve or requested to preserve all

00:41:34.080 records on the jack smith investigation yes they're going to investigate the investigator

00:41:42.000 how great is that they're going to investigate the investigator because he damn well needs to be

00:41:46.800 investigated from from a public perspective he definitely needs to be investigated i mean

00:41:53.600 there's some stuff we need to know about that situation

00:42:01.520 uh meanwhile um mark ruffalo you know him from the avengers and other movies um he is he said now

00:42:09.280 about the uh election because he was one of the notable backers of harris he said quote

00:42:15.280 okay this is according to a breitbart headline i said quote we got our asses kicked now breitbart

00:42:25.600 i don't normally like to give advice to publications

00:42:31.200 breitbart you really missed an opportunity here

00:42:37.360 this is the story mark ruffalo said we got our asses kicked here's the headline you should have used

00:42:44.240 hulk sulk

00:42:49.840 you're welcome

00:42:53.360 it's my best joke of the day hulk sulk

00:42:57.920 if you watch the avengers that's pretty funny

00:42:59.760 all right seattle has started throwing shoplifters and petty criminals in jail

00:43:06.080 for the first time in four years i guess the first two years they said it was the uh pandemic

00:43:13.120 you know they didn't want people in close quarters so they reduced their people in jail

00:43:19.200 and then they said they didn't have resources because they probably defunded the police but now

00:43:23.760 they have resources and they have room in jail so they're throwing their petty criminals back in jail

00:43:28.720 so again things are going your way

00:43:36.080 in this big self-correcting country that we have that is so wonderful this week

00:43:40.240 uh joe rogan says that the harris waltz campaign

00:43:44.960 um wanted to make sure that he didn't talk about marijuana legalization if he did an interview with

00:43:50.880 harris now

00:43:53.920 um he said quote i think they had requirements on things that she didn't want to talk about

00:43:59.120 she didn't want to talk about marijuana legalization which i thought was hilarious

00:44:03.120 said joe rogan now here's my question i i was struck in two different ways number one

00:44:13.360 of course the fact that anybody would go to an interview and say there's something that's off topic

00:44:20.080 that's just so weak and especially if the topic is one of national concern

00:44:25.680 and you're ready for office yeah no there should not be anything off topic

00:44:29.840 so so the harris campaign looks weak and pathetic and you can see why they lost however

00:44:38.720 i'm not entirely sure that a private conversation with the campaign should be divulged

00:44:47.760 on the other hand it's a public interest so i'm going to say yes in this special case yes

00:44:57.840 but generally speaking i'm not a fan of anybody revealing a private conversation

00:45:04.800 um but it was somebody running for president and it was a matter of national concern and and you know

00:45:09.520 the event's over there's there's there's no security issue to it now but if she had become president

00:45:17.280 i think that maybe then he should have maybe

00:45:20.960 well i don't know maybe maybe it's still appropriate

00:45:23.440 yeah i'm just sort of thinking that one through as i as i go i just don't like private conversations

00:45:31.200 being revealed unless you have a really good reason i i've revealed a few private things that

00:45:37.280 trump said to me that one time in 2018 when i met him for a few minutes but it was only because they

00:45:43.120 make him look smart so so i feel completely confident that if i say trump knew something was

00:45:49.360 going to happen years before it happened that if he heard that he'd say oh that's fine you know so i

00:45:55.280 don't feel like that's a risk um did you watch the video of biden and trump meeting for their peaceful

00:46:04.960 turnover of power apparently they had a good chat for two hours um uh

00:46:11.440 biden was all smiles i've never seen him so happy to turn over power to hitler do you think

00:46:22.320 that watching him roll over so happily is enough to convince democrats that they've been lied to about

00:46:29.040 hitler coming into office do you think they've figured it out yet because i figure that's enough

00:46:35.280 for at least some of them to say wait a minute you said hitler was coming but every one of you is

00:46:43.680 acting like hitler isn't coming so how did you immediately go from hitler's coming to oh everything's

00:46:51.840 normal how'd you do that were you lying to us the entire time and of course they were lying to

00:46:59.840 the public the entire time but do democrats see it because as obvious as it is to you know republicans

00:47:08.720 the way cognitive dissonance works is that it can blind even a smart person to the obvious

00:47:15.280 so i suspect that even smart democrats somehow are creating in their minds a blind spot to turn off the

00:47:23.440 fact that everybody said he was hitler for sure and as soon as he got elected they acted like he's

00:47:29.280 definitely not hitler though one thing we know for sure like not even a there's not even a chance of

00:47:34.560 it like it didn't even go from definitely hitler to well you better watch out he might be hitler

00:47:42.240 like that would seem like the normal way to step down but it went from he's definitely hitler to

00:47:47.760 there's not really any problem here at all that we see let's uh let's just act totally normally

00:47:53.040 and i think everything will be fine how do you not notice that

00:47:56.320 anyway um that should be the end of the democrat party for a decade

00:48:05.440 do you think that trump made any deals with biden

00:48:10.720 um it's possible although it would be a kind of a risky way to do it you know because things could

00:48:17.120 get out but if i were trump you could imagine a scenario in which he would say privately to biden

00:48:25.040 look um i think you and i should make an agreement we're going to keep our families out of it

00:48:33.440 and i plan to uh to pardon hunter if you'd like me to pardon you or any member of your family

00:48:42.800 i will take care of that but i'm going to ask for the same for you know but basically i want you to you

00:48:50.000 know cooperate basically i don't know would that be illegal to make a deal like that i think the

00:48:57.520 president has that flexibility i don't know if it's all legal but i wouldn't mind as much as i think

00:49:06.000 hunter did some imprisonable stuff i would rather the country climb back from attacking families we should

00:49:14.960 at least get back to mafia standards where the family's left out of it you know you can go as

00:49:21.360 hard as you want at the candidate but just leave the family out of it so you could you can sort of

00:49:26.960 imagine trump saying you went too far with my family i'm not going to return that to you

00:49:35.040 and just say can we make a piece can we can we bury that hatchet now i don't think it happened

00:49:40.720 uh is just sort of a recreationally fun speculation

00:49:48.080 anyway a reporter asked biden as he was in the i guess one of that little ceremonial rooms asked him

00:49:57.280 if he thinks he can get a hostage deal done by the end of the term and when biden was asked if he

00:50:03.280 could get a hostage deal done by the end of the term and for israel biden said quote do you think that

00:50:09.520 you can get a hit in the head by the camera behind you okay so that's what we have and what we're moving

00:50:23.520 to is trump did trump get anything done yesterday yes well trump didn't do this but the senate picked

00:50:31.920 their majority leader thune now i don't know much about this particular senator but there will be a

00:50:40.960 lot of news breaking about him and i believe i'll learn about him soon sorry i had to do that

00:50:51.360 i have some concerns about whether he will really work with trump as well as he says he will

00:50:56.080 i think on most things he will um but he's been he's been critical of trump in the past so he does not

00:51:03.280 count as a loyalist per se uh definitely a loyal republican but not a trump loyalist so we'll see

00:51:13.280 i would say the uh the verdict is out so thune can either be a superstar or or less than that and i believe

00:51:23.120 that uh that is completely in his hands he's a little bit of a blank slate i mean people who

00:51:28.640 really know the inner workings of things may have an opinion but the rest of us don't really have any

00:51:33.680 idea he's just like a brand new character on the stage for most of us so i'm going to say open mind

00:51:41.360 um he might be great but keep an eye on it hey richard great to speak to you

00:51:48.400 that moment right there that's what it feels like to step into a bureau booth our soundproof

00:52:02.960 office pods bring deep focus to even the loudest offices in the bureau booth no construction no

00:52:09.360 distractions just clarity search bureau office booths or visit with bureau.com

00:52:15.520 so as you've already heard matt gates has been nominated by trump to be the attorney general

00:52:23.200 the wall street journal um which is not wild about this says quote in the editorial this is a

00:52:30.000 bad choice for the attorney general that would undermine confidence in the law undermine confidence

00:52:36.320 in the law are you kidding who has confidence in the law how could you possibly undermine confidence

00:52:44.400 in the law it's 2024 we've been law fared way beyond any sense that the law has been operating on our

00:52:53.840 behalf no i don't have any confidence in the fucking law are you kidding me or science or just about

00:53:00.160 anything else at the moment so um and then they noted that gates has a law degree from william mary

00:53:08.960 um but that he's going to cause all kinds of provocations and it's going to be a bunch of

00:53:14.640 problems blah blah blah blah blah now their their argument seems to be that he's a performer and provocateur

00:53:25.440 and that that's the wrong fit for the attorney general can i can i give some uh education to the

00:53:32.240 wall street journal editorial board would you mind if i taught the people who are supposedly experts in

00:53:39.360 business some basic facts about business do you mind if i educate them all right i'm gonna wall street

00:53:47.280 journal editorial board i'm taking you aside let me explain something to you it goes like this

00:53:53.280 um if i if i were to encounter a kitten here's how i would act oh cute little kitten oh here's a little

00:54:02.720 scratch if i were to encounter somebody trying to kill me i would react more like and try to fight it off

00:54:13.600 if i went to a job interview i would act polite and professional if i were elected to congress

00:54:23.280 and i knew that getting attention was just like money i would be provocative in other words because

00:54:29.680 i have a functional brain i will modify my behavior for the circumstances so that i get the best the best

00:54:38.160 pull from this certain circumstance now if the wall street journal thinks that that gates is going

00:54:47.360 to go to the attorney general job and act the same way that he acted in congress where

00:54:52.880 provocation was rewarded and then he would go where provocation is definitely not rewarded

00:54:58.320 and he would not figure that out and you don't think he's smart enough to know that the way you

00:55:02.960 act as an attorney general is different than you act if you're a member of congress especially young

00:55:07.520 member of congress and different than you would act if you were on the supreme court and different

00:55:12.080 than you would act if you were a babysitter and different than you would act in every

00:55:15.840 place in the world how about everybody acts different when the context changes trump does

00:55:24.400 have you ever seen trump interact with say teenagers or the barber shop or the employees at mcdonald's

00:55:31.680 does trump act exactly the same way when he's talking to the employees at mcdonald's as he does when he's

00:55:37.680 talking to the fake news no he modifies his performance to the situation if you don't think

00:55:44.560 gates is smart enough to modify his performance for the situation you shouldn't be writing editorials

00:55:51.760 for the wall street journal i mean that's that's kid stuff this is basic

00:55:59.040 so that's uh that's disappointing from the wall street journal um

00:56:06.560 here's and then of course there's a lot of a worry that uh this is signaling that trump is going to get

00:56:12.640 busy with lawfare maybe so let me let me say this clearly having a loyalist who's as let's say as a

00:56:24.320 whose risk reward profile is what gates is it does open the possibility that we could be um i would be

00:56:34.560 surprised by it but that there could be a little bit of lawfare that you didn't see coming some little

00:56:39.600 revengey stuff now as i've told you too many times i would not be in favor of that at all and i will

00:56:45.520 immediately at least be one of the voices pushing back if i think he goes too far however that is a

00:56:52.960 risk i'm really willing to take right the world is not risk-free but what we have is a situation where

00:57:00.240 the department of justice in my opinion is completely broken and has become a lawfare organization the only

00:57:08.000 person i would trust to dismantle a existing lawfare situation is somebody like matt gates or if i may

00:57:18.000 say exactly matt gates and not even just somebody like matt gates matt fucking gates like he would be

00:57:25.440 my number one choice in the whole world because he's young enough he's aggressive enough he has the

00:57:33.440 you know he has the ear of the president and he's watched the lawfare and presumably some of it was

00:57:39.200 against him so we need more than we need anything in this country we need somebody to go in and just

00:57:46.000 brutally get rid of the lawfare leaning people now does that give you the risk that the pendulum goes too far

00:57:56.560 and then republicans become a little law fairy themselves yes that is a risk and that is your job

00:58:06.640 not just matt gates job not the president's job alone this is your job as supporters of the president

00:58:13.600 if you were or early or even if you weren't you know if you're just acting as a citizen as a citizen

00:58:19.920 you need to be the gatekeepers to make sure that doesn't go too far all right i plan to be very

00:58:27.520 serious about that because it's a legitimate concern if i were a democrat i would definitely

00:58:32.320 be worried about that no doubt about it i'd be worried about that and i think it's our responsibility

00:58:38.000 to make sure that that stays within you know if you broke a real law then that has to be addressed

00:58:45.520 now who would be worried about that well um we've got adam schiff who's a little worried about it

00:58:56.160 and uh yeah so adam schiff is not too happy about the matt gates situation now matt gates might not

00:59:06.000 be confirmed so he might not have enough support um and there might not certainly if he needs democrats but

00:59:14.960 apparently they can do something clever with the rules where if trump um let's see if the two

00:59:23.920 members of congress if the senate and the house do not agree on an adjournment let's say one wants to

00:59:29.680 adjourn and one doesn't um then if they don't agree or they don't agree on the timing of it then the

00:59:36.560 president can adjourn them so once they're adjourned then you can do these recess appointments

00:59:42.640 now i think they're not permanent i think they're two years at two years at most or something like

00:59:49.200 that but you can get a lot done in two years so we don't know for sure if the democrats have a way to

00:59:56.960 thwart that but it'll be fun to watch now the point it and uh matt gates has already resigned his job by

01:00:06.400 the way which as some have pointed out is a total baller move because because he's basically said you

01:00:12.800 know i'm in you know i'm gonna do whatever it takes i'm in on the other hand it might be a practical

01:00:19.520 decision because it also opens up um space and it gives trump another hit on the overton window

01:00:29.360 so the overton window is you create so much news that even if there's some of it that normally would be

01:00:35.520 negative to you you overwhelm it with new news so this would create the situation where trump

01:00:42.640 uh yeah obviously talking to desantis it would be desantis decision could uh i think just select a

01:00:49.520 temporary new um representative is that how it works do i have the process right it's desantis right

01:00:56.400 desantis gets to fill the space until the next election is that correct now who do you think

01:01:02.720 you'd fill the space with well it turns out that laura trump has expressed interest in an interview

01:01:09.840 now she didn't say it directly she just said if asked you know she would of course serve now that's a

01:01:14.880 yes how much fun would that be because she's coming off a what looks like a terrific job

01:01:22.560 um for the rnc and she fits every she checks off every box i mean she's definitely smart enough she's

01:01:32.560 great on tv she's got central casting look she's you know as loyal as you could possibly be

01:01:40.160 it's hard to imagine that there's any box she doesn't check

01:01:42.800 so i'd be for it but it would also be great provocative news to add to the uh the whole cycle

01:01:50.560 then there's also people who say that there's some uh ethics report that might be in the works against

01:01:57.760 gates and if he's no longer in the house then any ethics report would presumably just go away because

01:02:05.520 there's no point in it so there could be several reasons for him to announce he's leaving early

01:02:11.840 um but uh sure made things interesting

01:02:17.920 let's see uh eric swalwell doesn't like it adam schiff doesn't like uh gates being there and uh

01:02:27.120 what do those two guys have in common adam schiff and eric swalwell what do they have in common

01:02:33.040 i think i've told you that uh in the democrat world they have regular liars that would be just you

01:02:41.760 know any senator representative they're going to say things that are exaggerations about trump or

01:02:48.560 maybe they'll spread one of the hoaxes or something but sort of general ordinary political lying

01:02:55.040 but when they need somebody to lie the big lies like the really big whoppers the ones that

01:03:01.280 even the regular democrats won't touch they trot out adam schiff and eric swalwell every time

01:03:08.400 it's always those two right so once you realize that they're the designated liars

01:03:14.320 and that you know the the the ones that come out with them are like you know woodward and brennan

01:03:21.040 sometimes clapper like there's there's this group of people who always accompany the biggest lie

01:03:27.440 lie so the two of the biggest lie guys adam schiff and eric swalwell like oh no they're all over tv and

01:03:35.200 well not on tv in shift's case but they're they're both the vocal ones now i think they both have

01:03:42.720 something to worry about again they should be completely protected against lawfare 100 but

01:03:52.000 it seems to me there are observable behaviors that need to be looked into that a normal reasonable

01:04:01.200 person would say yeah we kind of need to look into that so i don't want it to cross any any barriers

01:04:09.120 into lawfare but uh i can see why they'd be worried all right the choice of peter hegseth as

01:04:15.760 as secretary of defense i'm watching a number of people have a reaction very similar to my own

01:04:25.440 which is what that can't be true p hegseth wait you're talking about p hegseth are you pronouncing that

01:04:36.000 right the you talk about the fox weekend host you know you did you couldn't even get like a weekday

01:04:45.600 host you had to get like a weekend host and then you then you dig down and you find out that number

01:04:51.920 one he's brilliant and he's got you know harvard and yale on his resume and he spent a lot of time in

01:04:59.840 some pretty serious military positions and he was once considered for head of the va the first

01:05:07.280 administration because he's done so much work for veterans and then i said to myself wait a minute

01:05:15.760 he knows the military from the bottom up he is you know definitely uh loyal to trump and then i watched

01:05:24.080 some clips where he's super anti-woke and wants to get rid of all the generals who would be dei and woke

01:05:31.520 people and i said to myself i've never seen any more anyone more perfect for the job and he also has

01:05:39.360 the central casting thing he has the look so i went from this is stupid to is this genius

01:05:47.680 is this is this as smart as it looks because it might be like not yale i saw yale i think i thought

01:05:59.600 there was some yale he had two degrees

01:06:05.200 so i'll take a fact check on that there might be a fact check on his degrees but in any case he is both

01:06:13.440 brilliant and he has enough connections with and experience with in all the right ways the military

01:06:21.360 that he doesn't have to be he doesn't have to do the jobs of the people who would work for him

01:06:26.800 that's their jobs but for the big decision making things the bold changes the getting rid of a general

01:06:33.040 the you know the the big changes that we might need to make in funding and spending and all those

01:06:39.360 things yeah you know what i i say open mind and uh you know i'm sure he was looked at very carefully for

01:06:48.240 that job and uh let's see what happens i i do think that i want somebody i that trump can trust more than

01:06:56.400 i want somebody with experience and i'll say that with no hesitation for that job the experience doesn't

01:07:04.720 count as much because you know it knows how to run itself no matter who the boss is but for the special

01:07:11.200 things that the boss has to do such as fire a general or change the general direction to be more

01:07:17.120 compatible with what trump wants or even just to make sure that when trump says he wants something

01:07:22.240 it actually gets executed and not slow walked so you need somebody who can recognize the slow walk

01:07:29.120 like when something's ordered they go oh yeah we'll do that but it takes five years so and then you

01:07:35.600 need somebody to say no it doesn't it takes two months do it

01:07:41.520 anyway so he might be a great choice tulsi gabbard director of national intelligence

01:07:47.200 uh oh well let me say one more thing about phexa i saw a video uh by don lemon before he left twitter

01:07:54.320 as he calls it i call it x and he was laughing and mocking that p hegseth would be chosen for

01:08:02.080 secretary of defense so let me summarize the situation for you uh there was a guy named don lemon

01:08:11.280 who worked for a network tv outfit there was a guy named p hegseth who worked for a competing tv news

01:08:19.120 outlet probably pretty similar pay pretty similar visibility and uh one of them just got promoted to

01:08:29.840 the secretary of defense in charge of the strongest military in the history of the known universe the other

01:08:38.720 one is don lemon and he just left x

01:08:48.160 okay so you can sort of see why he'd have an attitude about it didn't work out the way he hoped

01:08:56.480 now who else got a good promotion oh somebody else got a good promotion uh there was this woman you may

01:09:02.400 have heard of her she was on the terrorist watch list yeah she was on the terrorist watch list

01:09:07.520 uh that's that's dangerous so but she got promoted to be the director of national intelligence her name

01:09:17.840 is tulsi gabbard yep went from being on the terrorist watch list so she couldn't fly without people

01:09:25.040 following around to the boss of all those people well not all the people in the tsa i suppose but uh

01:09:33.520 that's like the head intelligence shop now is tulsi gabbard the right choice for that i like it

01:09:44.240 i like it a lot yeah i'm all in on that one and again um can you trust tulsi gabbard to be working

01:09:54.640 productively and to be honest with trump yes yes yes yes so love it i think she'll be confirmed rubio for

01:10:09.920 secretary of state now i know some of you are thinking rubio might be too neocon i don't think you have to

01:10:16.880 worry about that at all here's why he's got a boss called trump rubio is not going to be out

01:10:25.440 like doing his own thing rubio is smart enough he's been around enough that he knows what that job

01:10:35.200 is the job is to do the do the work of the president if he has a problem with the president's

01:10:40.160 direction he'll talk to him privately but no do i do i think that rubio has rubio has the experience

01:10:47.440 the personality the the character the i don't know the vision yes yes he has all that could rubio be a

01:10:57.760 president someday yes absolutely i don't know if he'd be my first choice depends who's running

01:11:03.920 um but no i don't have any problems with him at all and i'm not worried about the neocon thing

01:11:10.160 because i think that as long as trump's the boss that takes care of itself um then the the left is

01:11:19.920 running out of insults they can't even figure out how to insult anybody so you may have heard that the

01:11:25.840 doge effort d-o-g-e which stands for department of government efficiency the elon musk

01:11:33.760 effort to make the government more efficient and smaller and cost less um will now be joined with

01:11:39.920 vivek ramaswamy so they will partner on this effort i don't know if they have a ones in charge or or

01:11:46.800 their partners or whatever and maybe they don't need to even have that but what do you think of that

01:11:53.920 let me tell you what lawrence o'donnell on msnbc says he says that musk uh got to quote a humiliating

01:12:01.440 demotion from the head of doge to simply a co-worker with vivek yeah that was a humiliating

01:12:11.520 demotion to find that one of the most capable people we've ever seen even anywhere near our

01:12:18.960 government is going to work on the hardest problem we've ever had to crack which is how do you fix the

01:12:25.200 government now you have to work really hard to turn that positive into a negative

01:12:34.880 it would be like if you found that um ben franklin if he had been alive at the same time

01:12:39.520 ben franklin and thomas edison have teamed up and then lawrence o'donnell would be it's a

01:12:44.800 humiliating demotion for ben franklin and i'd be like okay you realize they're probably better together

01:12:52.400 right humiliating demotion and then you look at lawrence o'donnell's face and he has that mental

01:12:58.960 illness face where his smile doesn't match what he's saying and the humiliating demotion he's like

01:13:05.840 enjoying it too much it's like some weird almost looks like he's masturbating under the desk when he talks

01:13:11.280 almost anyway um there was some concern about uh um security because if you start cutting the

01:13:24.560 government there's a lot of people in the government who are very very bad people and literally murderers

01:13:30.560 so you know or killers let's say but our government includes a lot of people who have killed people

01:13:36.720 right people who are in the military have killed people people in the intelligence community have

01:13:42.640 killed people people in the senate have voted for things like that they knew would kill people

01:13:48.800 so the government is actually the one organization has more killers in it than prison i think as a

01:13:56.960 percentage certainly as a number but don't you think there are more killers literally killers in the

01:14:02.720 government than there are in their prisons because most of the prisoners are not murderers but there's

01:14:08.880 a whole lot of people in the state department the military and the government who have been in the

01:14:13.680 military and literally have killed people right so if you're trying to downsize and take away

01:14:21.520 something that's valuable to the largest group of literally killers that that we have outside of the

01:14:27.360 the military itself you know the active military um it's dangerous so musk actually said on x yeah i have

01:14:34.480 to say that cutting this much waste will make a lot of bad people angry we need extra tight security but

01:14:43.120 joshua hartley on x took it to another level and i boosted this one he said that maybe we should skip the

01:14:51.360 massive inauguration ceremony too much security risk given who you are planning to expose fire and

01:14:59.200 dismantle have been waging shadow wars domestically and internationally for the past 60 years celebrate

01:15:05.680 when balance and order are restored you know what i agree with that as much as i think a um an

01:15:16.320 inauguration ceremony is sort of good for the i don't know the body of the country you know it gives us

01:15:24.560 moments and these moments create the country you know these moments where we all focus on the same

01:15:30.240 thing but i think it's too dangerous to put this government outdoors at this point in time and it's

01:15:38.160 outdoors right now all it takes is well i don't have to give the bad guys any ideas right

01:15:46.640 um i think maybe the era of large outdoor events where you have multiple members of government there

01:15:56.560 like are we going to put our president and our vice president on the same stage

01:16:00.880 are we really going to do that

01:16:04.080 because if if any one of them is on the stage the other one needs to be in the bunker

01:16:10.000 or you know at least the vice president does so and what and what if somebody says it's more

01:16:15.840 than a twofer you know what if you get several of them like some kind of event that kills more than

01:16:22.480 one person this is really scary now trump is uh not likely to back down so i think he is most likely to

01:16:30.880 go ahead and do it publicly but let me just say uh um from the perspective of one citizen

01:16:38.400 this is just my opinion uh this is not worth the risk to me so i'll just say personally that level

01:16:47.360 of risk of going in public with these people that you've chosen especially that's more risk than

01:16:54.240 i'm willing to accept for the benefit of just having a tv event that you didn't really need to do

01:17:00.480 so maybe some of you disagree with me and i would respect that disagreement but we really are in a

01:17:09.040 different time and we don't know the size of the risk and i think all of us have said why are the

01:17:14.480 democrats so quiet it's almost like they have a plan and i don't like any of it so without knowing what

01:17:23.520 the plan is i would assume the worst just assume the worst now it's possible that the reason democrats

01:17:30.400 are so quiet is that they've been thoroughly destroyed and even when they talk among themselves

01:17:36.400 all they can do is argue about whose fault it was probably so there could be two reasons one is

01:17:42.160 they're completely dismantled there's just nobody to talk to anybody or have any good ideas

01:17:47.280 but the other is that they do have a plan and that one that one's scary um we're still waiting for

01:17:55.760 more announcements and more nominations um the one that excites me the most although i'm really excited

01:18:03.440 about all the ones we have so far would be uh hopefully the head of hud will be bill pulte if he's

01:18:11.040 willing to take the job i think he might but he has the whole stack people like he's got the the building

01:18:20.720 industry experience it's his blood he was literally born to it and worked with it he's an entrepreneur

01:18:26.320 he's pro-trump he's the he's one of the best communicators i've ever seen in my life i saw one of

01:18:31.120 his hits yesterday on one of the networks i think it was fox business and i was just sort of looking at

01:18:40.080 the quality of his answers oh my god you know you know how impressed you are when you watch vivek

01:18:47.440 or you watch um your jd vance and you say to yourself we we don't have people who talk that well

01:18:56.240 like this is a whole new game where where somebody's answer isn't just complete but it's right on target

01:19:03.440 hits every point hits all the persuasion points and shows intelligence and and empathy at the same

01:19:10.000 time and that's what pulte has right you have to watch it if you haven't seen him talk just watch

01:19:16.960 how well he answers questions and you tell me that trump doesn't want more of that he does so we don't

01:19:24.400 know if this can happen but hud right now is the you know housing and urban development but i think

01:19:30.640 it would be the natural place that the trump freedom cities would be focused and i think that's

01:19:36.480 the most exciting thing for the future of the country you know ai will be part of it and self

01:19:41.760 driving cars will be part of it and all that but we need to redesign cities so i don't know if i've

01:19:48.320 ever said this directly so maybe there's a reason you don't know i'm so excited about designing cities

01:19:55.120 we need to figure out how to design one that works really well and then reproduce it what we're not

01:20:01.200 going to be able to do is tweak the existing cities they're they're just too structurally hard to change

01:20:07.920 you're going to have to figure out maybe a variety of different flavors of cities designed with

01:20:13.840 completely different uh intentions and different uh organizational assumptions and just see which ones

01:20:21.360 work some will work for some kind of people some will work with others but there's nothing more

01:20:25.920 important because our expenses and our jobs are so focused around building and homes everything from

01:20:34.080 the furniture to the carpenters that if we can if we can reinvigorate the building industry in a way

01:20:42.240 that's not just do some more building that's like one or two percent on the gdp i mean we're talking

01:20:49.280 we're talking really fun then then then we're really having fun

01:20:55.680 anyway uh the head of polymarkets which we talked a lot about um has been i guess his phones and

01:21:03.600 electronic devices have been seized by authorities and we don't know what he's charged with if anything

01:21:09.280 or if he will be but it made uh mike sunovich point out that his own comments about his phone suddenly

01:21:17.040 getting slow did anybody have the experience that their phone started slowing down in the last

01:21:24.640 month or so because i had that experience too my my phone went from battery life lasting all day

01:21:32.400 to maybe an hour or at least it seems like it like it it it's almost useless my phone is almost useless

01:21:40.400 because i always just have to worry about trade um charging it now i thought

01:21:46.800 that apple was doing that thing where they make your phone bad just in time for when you're thinking

01:21:53.280 about an upgrade and i'm thinking about an upgrade and there's a new upgrade cycle coming and then

01:21:59.120 just like before in prior upgrades my phone's battery gets really bad when it's time to look for a new

01:22:05.040 phone and yes it was enough to convince me to buy a new phone i haven't done it yet but i'm definitely

01:22:10.400 buying a new phone because my current one doesn't work well enough to keep now certavich would be on

01:22:19.760 on a pretty short list of people that bad guys would want to see if they could get any dirt on

01:22:25.600 right yeah you you figure if there's any bad guys

01:22:28.480 guys using surveillance in ways that maybe isn't appropriate he would be on the short list i too

01:22:36.720 would be on the short list of people that they would look at if they're just searching around

01:22:40.720 looking for some dirt now in my case they're not going to find anything because as i've told you

01:22:45.600 many times for at least 25 years i've lived my life like there are no secrets meaning that it doesn't

01:22:54.480 mean there aren't things that would be maybe like embarrassing or something but i don't care about being embarrassed

01:23:04.400 so literally anytime i write anything that if if it were found like i'd have to explain it

01:23:12.160 i don't care i'm fine there are plenty of things i might have to explain but okay none of them are

01:23:21.680 going to embarrass me enough that i care so um so i'm not going to make a uh i i guess i won't say

01:23:31.440 that i know what's happening because the the odds that it's just a technology and marketing reason that

01:23:37.680 my phone is dying it's pretty good but it is true that if your phone gets slow it could be an indication

01:23:44.400 that somebody's in it that's true i do believe that my phone is penetrated but i wouldn't know if it's

01:23:50.960 our country or china or anything else but yes i assume my phone is not secure um

01:24:00.960 so the harris campaign we hear from ms oh no we hear from somebody else that uh donated half a

01:24:08.080 million dollars to al sharpton's non-profit before he interviewed her um what is called a softball

01:24:14.560 interview on msnbc now is that an example of money laundering coincidentally his uh his non-profit

01:24:25.040 which i'm sure pays him a salary and maybe pays for some of his expenses suddenly got half a million

01:24:31.600 dollars from the very person that he's going to endorse now how about those other celebrities

01:24:36.960 that got millions of dollars and then also endorsed now on paper it looks like they got their millions

01:24:45.520 of dollars maybe to entertain or maybe to appear but in reality it's to us it just looks like

01:24:56.080 it just looks like money laundering looks like bribery i guess bribery and money laundering are different but

01:25:02.160 it looks like the combination of bribery and money laundering now is it remember i told you earlier

01:25:09.120 this seems like literally everything democrats do it all has the same element where there's a large

01:25:15.760 amount of money that's being pushed through sketchy organizations so everybody can get a taste and it's

01:25:22.080 just over and over and over again this is the reason i think you need to build new cities because the

01:25:27.840 existing cities allow the elected politicians to decide where the big contracts and bids go to

01:25:36.240 which means that all cities are corrupt

01:25:39.920 if you give local politicians the power to decide where the money goes

01:25:45.920 you're guaranteed to have corruption guaranteed that that responsibility needs to be taken away from the city

01:25:51.760 leaders they shouldn't have control over money flowing through the system in that way

01:25:57.440 or there's more transparency you could get to it that way

01:26:02.320 that's central planning

01:26:05.280 um

01:26:07.600 well everything is centrally planned

01:26:11.280 it's just what the center is

01:26:15.760 anyway candace owens has a uh had a whistleblower cia whistleblower

01:26:21.200 kevin chip and he says that martin luther king was murdered by the cia

01:26:27.360 uh and uh which is interesting because trump had promised that he would release those files as

01:26:33.840 well and he says uh that was a cia operation because they considered him a dangerous communist

01:26:39.520 and the fbi was bugging the churches was giving some of the speeches he was a top target for elimination

01:26:45.040 how many of you believe that the cia killed martin luther king

01:26:50.160 i i always just assumed it

01:26:58.720 didn't you always assume that i i don't know when i first started assuming it but i always thought it was so obvious

01:27:05.200 i mean after i was you know at a school you know when i was in school of course i was just propagandized

01:27:13.440 but once i became an adult and started seeing how the real world worked

01:27:17.360 it didn't take me long to piece it together and it wasn't because i saw something on the news

01:27:24.160 the whole time i was like wait a minute so they're saying that the cia or somebody may have killed kennedy

01:27:30.960 and he was provocative but elected president what are the odds that martin luther king was a totally

01:27:41.280 random shooter you know so i i think i'd work that one out on my own that that didn't really look

01:27:48.400 like a coincidence to me so um he was dangerous to the system um so he was considered dangerous to the

01:27:56.960 system now isn't it interesting that the same people who allegedly killed him elevated him to a symbol

01:28:05.760 of uh peace and a model to follow here's what i think i think that martin luther king was elevated by the

01:28:17.280 white leadership of the country because he preached peace and so as long as they focused on the peaceful

01:28:25.200 part they could keep control of the part of the country they wanted to control apparently and they

01:28:32.320 would they would they would use him as their brainwashing operation while at the same time

01:28:36.800 their their internal view was that he was so bad he had to be killed but if they could sell him as a

01:28:43.120 symbol of peace then he could keep future generations passive so i always thought he was just an op

01:28:51.440 well he wasn't the op he was doing his thing but that he was used as part of somebody else's op

01:28:57.360 anyway um there's research in side posts that suggests people are getting more bored because of

01:29:07.760 phones and stuff i will disagree with that because i have not been bored since phones were smartphones

01:29:16.000 how many of you would say the same i i don't remember the last time i was bored but boredom when i was a

01:29:22.000 child was my number one problem my number one problem i was bored out of my freaking skull as a child in

01:29:32.720 school bored in college bored now not in the fun parts but bored in the classes and stuff so

01:29:42.640 boredom's been and i've said this before boredom's been one of my biggest challenges in my whole life

01:29:49.040 and that went completely away when smartphones became workable because i'm standing in line

01:29:56.080 i'm looking at my phone i'm fascinated

01:30:00.080 there's not a time when there isn't something on my phone that fascinates me

01:30:04.560 so i haven't been bored have any of you

01:30:10.240 maybe you're bored you may be lonely more than you're bored

01:30:13.520 uh loneliness is still real i mean that your phone won't solve loneliness

01:30:21.200 and now there's uh thoughts from the harvard crimson is writing about some research

01:30:25.920 that pesticide consumption might be linked to male infertility it's a harvard study

01:30:31.600 so they say if you're eating some fruit that's got thick skin maybe it's not so bad but if you're

01:30:37.840 you're eating thin skin stuff like a strawberry maybe the pesticides are getting in there and

01:30:44.800 maybe you should think of some organic strawberries that are small and weird looking

01:30:53.680 uh that ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of my incredible podcast for today

01:31:01.200 and i'm going to say a few words to the local subscribers

01:31:06.800 privately i'm going to say goodbye to x and youtube and rumble thanks for joining

01:31:12.480 you've been awesome and what a week it's just going to get better
