Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2660 CWSA 11⧸15⧸24

00:00:00.000 Let me get my comments working here.

00:00:04.900 There we go.

00:00:13.260 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:29.080 that's called coffee with scott adams and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that

00:00:35.140 nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a cup or mugger a

00:00:40.560 glass of tanker shells inside a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your

00:00:46.100 favorite liquid i like coffee join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day

00:00:52.060 the thing that makes everything better today with a little oxytocin too go

00:00:59.080 ah now if that didn't make your loneliness go away i don't know why will because we're all here

00:01:09.300 together today we're live we're figuring it out we're making the world a better place it's all good

00:01:18.100 well here's some news about science it turns out that eggs and according to a new study

00:01:27.960 uh they're they might protect your brain health so if you eat eggs um you're less likely to have

00:01:36.640 cognitive dysfunction in your middle age and longer now i was quite uh interested in this study and i'm

00:01:44.600 thinking about taking on a loan to get myself one of these eggs uh if any of you been lucky enough to

00:01:52.300 be able to afford an egg yeah here they're good they're good for your brain if you can afford one

00:01:58.620 go get one meanwhile in the biggest surprise in all of science there's a study that says that alcohol

00:02:07.400 might be bad for your brain it's linked to alzheimer's risk huh a gigantic surprise

00:02:15.060 alcohol is not good for you here's another here's a fun one psytech daily says there's a breakthrough

00:02:23.720 in uh regeneration let's say they're adding the synthetic peptides to your own blood

00:02:31.280 and it can mimic your own regenerative hematoma so somehow they take your own blood and they give it a

00:02:38.740 little boost with some peptides and the next thing you know you've got a super blood you will be

00:02:45.040 enrolling in the x-men school of excellence um with your super blood or possibly it'll just make you

00:02:51.840 healthier there's a study at psypost is talking about a study that shows that politics can trump

00:02:59.220 truth and it's funny they use the word trump there so here's what they did

00:03:04.160 they gave people various facts some true some fake about politics and they noticed that people

00:03:13.120 were more likely to believe things that agreed with them politically huh i wonder how they could have

00:03:20.960 saved some money well you could have just asked me yes people do tend to agree with the people on their

00:03:29.620 side and think that that's totally right and everybody else is totally wrong

00:03:33.420 it's true it's true it's true i know it's a shocker shocker but they found that trump

00:03:40.300 they say that people who favor trump were more likely more likely to believe fake news if it agreed with

00:03:50.580 their team huh raises an interesting question doesn't it apparently there is a group of um scientists

00:04:01.040 who know what news is real now wouldn't it be helpful instead of wasting their time on this study

00:04:08.780 if they had simply said hey we're scientists that we know which news is real not only do we know which

00:04:15.780 news is real but we know it so certainly that we can have a test in which we put the news we know is

00:04:21.780 real versus the news we know isn't real so thank goodness there's some people who know which news is

00:04:28.200 real okay now i think they probably didn't use real news they probably just made up some stuff

00:04:35.440 and i think almost anybody could tell made up stuff so i don't think there's any scientific validity

00:04:40.600 validity to this whatsoever but i still believe the conclusion

00:04:45.400 and you didn't really need to do a test to find out that people like to agree with their side

00:04:52.200 oh surprising

00:04:54.120 i'm trying to figure out if the stories about info wars

00:05:00.600 are true did i hear that alex jones debunked

00:05:05.600 and the report that the owner of the onion bought info wars assets

00:05:10.320 so do we even know what happened there i'm getting all kinds of weird conflicting stories

00:05:19.520 so the only thing i know is

00:05:21.760 somebody in the comments felt it was necessary to remind me that i'm not a scientist

00:05:29.880 um should it also be necessary to mention that french press is a good way to make coffee

00:05:37.480 swimming is the best form of exercise

00:05:40.360 and that food that universal food it might be soil and green

00:05:44.680 and something reminds you of the matrix so the npcs are here to say all the obvious stuff

00:05:52.280 so if anybody knows what happened to info wars could you let me know but i'm having trouble

00:05:57.800 understanding why info wars needs assets what assets do they need i mean a few cameras and a laptop

00:06:07.480 i mean they don't really need the building do they you could do it from your bedroom

00:06:12.200 i don't know well here's something cool according to a user on x called vittorio vittorio

00:06:19.320 um there's a new paper in science and uh they've used ai on dna now dna you could think of it almost

00:06:33.080 like a bunch of zeros and ones it's almost like a code or a language if you will now ai is good with

00:06:40.920 languages so it's good with human languages and it's good with uh every kind of computer programming

00:06:47.240 language so it's not a big surprise that when you show a dna it treats it like a language or it could

00:06:57.080 so in other words in in the same way it could arrange bits to make a computer program or it could

00:07:02.760 arrange words to make sentences that you understand apparently there's some indication that it can

00:07:09.880 look at dna and figure out how to arrange it and or modify it to get better results so apparently

00:07:21.560 so here's how i understand it it's possible it's possible that i don't understand this correctly

00:07:26.040 because i'm trying to interpret it from material that's above my pay grade but i think what it means

00:07:31.240 is that it looks at dna as if it were any other language and that can design its own sentences which

00:07:37.720 means it could rearrange dna hypothetically and then you could put it through some kind of crispr or

00:07:43.960 some technology i don't understand to actually rearrange the dna and you could not only make new

00:07:51.880 forms of medicines potentially but you could also make new life forms so we are right on the verge

00:08:01.000 of being able to design and actually implement actually implement using using technology to

00:08:09.160 actually arrange the dna and create a new life form so that's right around the corner and you thought

00:08:16.600 that flamethrower robot dogs were interesting ah wait until we make a giant wouldn't it be cool to have giants

00:08:24.920 you know like we just started creating military giants well we got one who's 100 feet tall

00:08:35.800 well uh project veritas has a uh undercover video of a u.n worker a manager uh telling telling

00:08:45.880 the person on the undercover video that the only way the u.n can make some serious money is if if

00:08:51.800 there's a war so they like wars and they like nikki haley because they could make more money from the wars

00:08:59.320 quote the only way you make money in the u.n is if you go to war you get paid more who gets paid more if they go to war

00:09:09.160 what job gets paid more if you're at war i mean i can see if the the actual military people are deployed

00:09:16.680 they might get military pay or something but do the managers get paid more how does that work i don't

00:09:26.120 know i'm not sure i believe that um and then this manager said 90 of the united nations employees are

00:09:35.400 squatting i could point to people every single day in the building who don't work uh what is the u.n

00:09:42.040 it's an amorphous body of nothingness now this is coming from a manager at the u.n now i don't think

00:09:48.200 that this one manager is necessarily expressing a universally accurate view but certainly i would

00:09:56.440 look at this whole u.n situation to see if it's doing anything for us that we want done

00:10:02.680 i'm not entirely sure it's doing what we want done all the time so it may yeah i'm sure it has benefits i

00:10:10.360 just don't know the pluses and minuses all right this is funny james carville

00:10:17.160 uh is actually going on the daily he actually said in a in an interview quote our side won't tolerate lies

00:10:29.000 so james carville who's the smartest guy the democrats have apparently

00:10:34.280 um he believes or at least he's willing to say in public i don't know what he really believes

00:10:39.640 that because the corporate news on the on the left is more you know corporate and professional

00:10:49.400 that uh they won't let the democrats get away with lies so the lies are mostly on the right because

00:10:55.640 the media on the right lets them get away with lies

00:11:01.560 joe biden ran on the fine people hoax and didn't get a fact check once by the entire media on the left

00:11:07.480 not once not a single time not one time during an entire the 2020 election not once in all those

00:11:16.760 speeches not once did the left media fact check him on the fine people hoax the primary reason he ran for

00:11:24.680 office and uh carville's are no we could we're all the honest ones

00:11:31.800 so carville thinks that fox and newsmax and one america that they're just out there allowing all

00:11:40.280 these lies he goes quote but our side won't tolerate lies okay if a democrat goes on tv and says some lie

00:11:48.520 the new republic is going to say that's not right or the new york times is going to say that's not right

00:11:53.400 so how and i'm serious when i say this one side is constrained by the truth

00:11:59.880 yeah i sure feel sorry if those democrats were constrained by the truth

00:12:06.840 does he believe any of this what do you think i i think he couldn't possibly believe it but on the other hand

00:12:14.600 he talks like he does because he's he's sort of a straight shooter so you don't know when the straight

00:12:24.200 shooter has decided that you know maybe a lie is what gets him what he needs i don't know it's hard to

00:12:31.000 believe you can believe this is true you're kind of starting in a bad place he says

00:12:37.320 all right well uh nancy pelosi who's 84 years old has filed for re-election

00:12:45.480 so we might get her until she's like a thousand um now do you think the democrats have learned anything

00:12:53.640 if nancy pelosi gets re-elected at age 84 or 85 um well that's she's gonna run in 2026.

00:13:03.240 don't you think that that would be kind of evidence that they didn't learn a damn thing

00:13:10.360 do you think the country is looking for maybe a little younger leadership on the left

00:13:17.320 on the right trump is getting up there in age but he's surrounded by younger people who are

00:13:23.160 pretty dynamic so it looks different and he doesn't act that old he's he's got tons of energy still

00:13:29.080 but uh nancy pelosi good luck democrats meanwhile california still has 1.7 million uncounted ballots

00:13:40.280 how long ago did we have that election or alleged election and california hasn't counted 1.7 million

00:13:48.040 and they're apparently they're taking pride in not being rushed

00:13:51.160 see here's what i think was the problem uh where california went off the rails is they never should

00:13:59.560 have decided to use the weed dispensaries as ballot counting centers you should have just kept those

00:14:06.600 separate the whole time no i made that up they did not use weed dispensaries as ballot counting centers

00:14:13.800 because if they had they'd be done by now

00:14:18.520 meanwhile there are allegations of voting irregularities in wisconsin you've probably heard

00:14:24.440 of them gateway pundits reporting more on it but apparently there was a reportedly there was a 4am

00:14:30.920 dump of ballots that went 90 percent to one candidate which one do you think it was let's see there was a

00:14:38.840 late drop of ballots 90 of them went to one candidate let's see how many of you could guess

00:14:45.400 was it the democrat or the republican who do you think got the 90 just take a guess see how close

00:14:52.200 you can get it's a 50 50 right it's a toss-up so did 90 of the votes go to the democrat or the republican

00:14:59.880 anybody want to take a wild guess on this one oh yes it was the democrat yeah quite surprisingly 90 of

00:15:09.160 the late night dump went to the democrat um there is a widespread concern the they're trying to

00:15:19.480 let's see what else is um and now the uh republican candidates talking about it because it's i guess

00:15:26.200 it's it seems to be according to them grossly obvious that there's cheating grossly obvious

00:15:34.600 what do you think maybe i don't know all i know for sure is there's a report

00:15:41.880 but there's suddenly 108 000 absentee ballots came and one person got 90 of the votes do you think you

00:15:51.480 could ever have 90 of the the 90 out of 108 000 it's not really a thing is it okay if that's true

00:16:04.120 so you have to worry about any parts of the report being true but if it's true that 90 of the votes

00:16:09.960 were for one candidate and of 108 000 ballots i i would i would call that proof of uh rigging

00:16:16.200 well i don't even need to look into it really if it came into 4 a.m and it was 90 for one person and

00:16:24.680 it was 108 000 votes you don't have to look into it too carefully you can just throw the whole

00:16:30.680 fucking thing out i mean that's just obviously rigged but the part you don't know is if the claim of 90

00:16:38.760 the votes being one way is true all right so if that's not true then then nothing was found that

00:16:46.360 was weird so i would look to get that validated with a couple of sources to make sure that you're

00:16:53.560 not claiming a crack in when there is none meanwhile over in uh pennsylvania um the republican

00:17:01.640 who's declared the winner by a number of sources but there's still a recount i think there's going to be

00:17:07.000 a recount and it looks like the mark elias and the democrats might have a play here so they might try

00:17:16.280 to eliminate some votes or add some votes and see if they get a changed election so i didn't realize

00:17:22.600 that mark elias was part of getting uh al franken elected in that election that was so close they had

00:17:29.240 to do the recount i think and then mark elias managed to either include votes new votes or

00:17:36.520 exclude some votes that had been counted until they changed the outcome so that's a real thing that

00:17:42.760 could happen um so we've got two states that on the surface appear to be rigged

00:17:51.240 do you do you think that's fair on the surface so i don't know if the claims are correct

00:17:58.360 but there are claims coming from credible people

00:18:02.200 so that doesn't mean the right but the people seem credible and the claims seem specific pretty

00:18:10.440 specific claims and i would think maybe there's a way to check on at least some of that

00:18:16.440 but the the stuff that happens legally would be all transparent we just wouldn't like it if it goes

00:18:21.880 the way you don't like

00:18:22.680 i think meanwhile apparently some of the democrat blue cities are uh trying to get rid of their

00:18:30.600 migrant shelters before trump's inaugurated because they think trump will start deporting people you

00:18:36.280 know if you were going to deport migrants what would be more convenient than having them all in one

00:18:42.200 migrant shelter the easiest way to round them up is if they're in a sanctuary city in a big shelter

00:18:49.480 yeah are you telling me that entire hotel is filled with migrants yeah we put them in the hotel

00:18:57.560 okay uh let's take everybody in the hotel and send them back

00:19:02.120 now i don't think that works if they're asylum people because the asylum people are here legally

00:19:09.160 at least temporarily legally but uh i can see why they would be racing to get rid of their sanctuary

00:19:16.680 cities now some of it is because i think the uh there was a market drop in um people coming in

00:19:25.400 so i i think that they're already trying to change their game because whoever comes in the next few

00:19:30.760 months is definitely going to get sent back you know anybody who comes in today has a pretty high

00:19:35.800 chance of being sent back if they get caught

00:19:41.800 bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:19:46.280 learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you

00:19:53.080 think

00:19:55.640 so new york city had a migrant shelter on randalls island it had up to 3 000 people in it and they're

00:20:02.440 going to shut that down by february and and there apparently the wave of new migrants arriving in

00:20:09.880 new york has significantly slowed and 170 000 uh are already in the shelter oh have already moved on

00:20:19.000 so those were 170 000 migrants were in shelters but have somehow moved on to something closer to a

00:20:25.640 permanent situation but there is a conspiracy theory by the democrats that elon musk stole the election

00:20:35.880 somehow using starlink now i don't know if there's any evidence that starlink was used for any part of

00:20:42.120 any of the election but the democrats need something so according to wired there's a uh there's a rumor

00:20:50.840 going around on the democrat side i haven't seen it on social media but they say it's going around that

00:20:56.600 the election was stolen good luck with that the daily wire is reporting that uh anthony blinken

00:21:04.920 says that biden's gonna funnel as much money as possible to ukraine before trump takes over

00:21:11.960 man what does that sound like well i'd love to i'd love to think that they're doing that for all the

00:21:17.320 right reasons but if they know that trump's going to take over and just end the war shouldn't they

00:21:24.120 just end the war now you know wouldn't it be smarter for them to say hey mr trump you can end this anyway

00:21:30.760 why don't we start we'll get we'll get the end of the war going we'll get them talking set up a meeting

00:21:36.120 you know get you all set up to end this war when you come in no instead they're going to send them as

00:21:41.000 much money as possible as much as possible i'll tell you everybody who voted for trump is feeling

00:21:47.000 happy about it at this moment yep send our money to another country as fast as possible tony blinken

00:21:54.840 to achieve uh nothing apparently

00:22:01.480 let's see then there's a

00:22:04.680 there's a report by christina wang and breitbart that uh the pentagon is trying to get rid of its dei

00:22:12.920 records because trump said he was going to fire the generals that were big on dei now i've got a

00:22:21.000 problem with that hypothesis or that strategy i guess um i've never been in the military

00:22:31.000 but correct me if i'm wrong don't you think almost everybody who implemented dei was just taking orders

00:22:38.760 even the generals were there generals who were just sort of doing their own thing and they decided that

00:22:44.360 dei was going to be what they were going to pursue or was it just a general military order to do more dei

00:22:51.960 and then generals were maybe competing to see who could do more of it or do it better but i don't quite

00:22:59.000 understand firing people in the military for dei when they would have had to do it if it was ordered

00:23:07.560 what choice did they have why would you fire somebody for following an order you know unless those

00:23:15.080 generals knew it was an illegal order and the country wasn't treating it like it was illegal

00:23:20.040 so certainly there are some people at the top who need to be replaced i feel confident in saying that

00:23:29.800 i don't know that you need to go all the way through all the generals there got to be some

00:23:36.440 generals who are just taking orders so i don't know how you sort that out anyway

00:23:42.280 um but i love the fact that everybody's all worried that truth and um the end of racism might be coming

00:23:56.360 all right and they're struggling to hide in evidence well i would too if that were them

00:24:02.760 um ran paul says he's going to reinstate trump's remain in mexico policy i guess he'll be the senate

00:24:09.320 committee chairman for the whatever is the right committee for that the senate homeland security

00:24:14.760 and governmental affairs committee so that's good uh washington times is reporting that

00:24:23.880 meanwhile the uh editor-in-chief of the of scientific american

00:24:28.600 has resigned under pressure because she called all trump voters fascists and bigots

00:24:33.480 uh she's she decided to take some time off and think about what comes next yeah i looked at some of her uh posts

00:24:44.440 just batshit crazy racist just crazy and uh how did she become the editor-in-chief of the scientific american

00:24:56.360 do you think that was dei well based on her social media posts she doesn't seem very bright

00:25:06.120 or very nice she's she's definitely not nice but to publicly put these opinions out there when you run a

00:25:15.240 magazine that's also stupid so at the very least she's not very nice and she's stupid

00:25:23.960 so yeah she needs to find a find maybe a job that doesn't have science in the name

00:25:32.120 um here's a fun one if it's true zero hedge is reporting that the fbi official who oversaw the

00:25:40.200 january 6 pipe bomb probe remember january 6 there was reports of pipe bombs and then we don't know who

00:25:49.560 planted them but luckily there's always cell phone information about where people are so you could

00:25:55.880 check the cell phone information and you could pretty well find out who was in that area at a certain

00:26:00.200 time and you could then match the time to the video because there's security video and you would

00:26:07.880 largely know for sure who planted them because you'd have the video you'd have the phone information

00:26:14.520 there was only one person there at that time and there he is right on video pretty easy and then

00:26:21.960 we were told by the fbi official who's in charge of that that they received corrupted files from the phone

00:26:28.120 company and it amazingly and and they admitted it's just the weirdest thing this never happens but just

00:26:36.280 the exact information that they needed about this one this one situation the data was corrupt wow so

00:26:45.640 it was quite the gigantic coincidence because it really it would be weird for that to be corrupt

00:26:53.160 and then we found out that the phone companies say we didn't give anybody any corrupt information

00:26:58.360 and if we did nobody mentioned it and by the way it doesn't look corrupt to us

00:27:06.280 that the fbi lied about the pipe bombs january 6th was probably exactly what you thought it was

00:27:14.920 a giant fbi op now there is definitely not enough evidence to prove that's true there's definitely

00:27:23.800 enough evidence to prove it's the main theory would you agree with that i can't say it's true i could

00:27:31.080 say it would be stupid to take it out from the top theory it's the top theory right if nothing changes

00:27:38.920 it will still remain the top theory of what happened that day right something something big would have

00:27:44.280 to change my mind at this point if the pipe bombs were really covered up yeah we have to assume the worst

00:27:53.000 about the fbi and maybe the fbi will get uh get fixed uh msnbc had a guest on to call pete hegseth

00:28:05.640 uh everybody knows a white supremacist that according to the guest whose name was not on the screen which

00:28:12.600 is probably pretty smart because i wouldn't want anybody to know my name either if i said something like

00:28:18.280 that that just says casually that pete hegseth is a known white supremacist and then chris hayes

00:28:27.480 sits there and listens to it and does not say something such as why would you say that or

00:28:35.320 what evidence do you have that he's a white supremacist because obviously there is none there's no evidence

00:28:42.200 he's a white supremacist duh uh and uh but the guest on msnbc was a racist obviously and uh chris hayes has

00:28:52.360 some some questions that need to be answered too why would he platform a racist i mean a real obvious

00:29:00.920 overt not hiding it kind of a racist why would they do that and maybe that's why the total value of msnbc is

00:29:10.600 checking 75 cents yeah can't sell it at all well scott jennings who does a great job on cnn

00:29:21.880 uh representing the trump side of the world some say he's up for discussion as the white house press

00:29:27.800 secretary um and that's making some people at cnn wonder why they're keeping him on the air

00:29:36.360 because if he's just sort of in the pocket for trump why should they have him on cnn

00:29:45.160 can i explain this to the people at cnn who are confused why the person they hired to express the

00:29:53.640 point of view of the trump people might be under consideration to be a person who expresses the

00:30:00.040 point of view of the trump people which is exactly what he was hired on cnn to do to express the

00:30:05.800 point of view of the trump people and so it would be a problem if he's being considered for a job to

00:30:11.400 represent the opinion of the trump people and that's cnn for you now i don't know which idiots

00:30:19.000 on cnn thought that the person who is perfect for the job and was hired for that exact express purpose

00:30:25.560 is now wrong for the job because it's been proven that he's right for the job by being considered

00:30:30.840 for a job that's even better than that that's the same job expressing one side's point of view wow

00:30:40.840 so anyway the washington post was reporting that cnn's wondering about that jeremy barr at the washington

00:30:46.440 posts um the the new elected uh lapd chief says he's not going to help the feds with deportation

00:30:57.960 so los angeles has what decided to leave the union uh on what basis does a local police department chief

00:31:09.880 get to tell the united states government that they can't police the illegals so i wonder how much

00:31:19.400 weaponry they have in la because they're going to go up against the the entire military of the united states

00:31:27.080 how in the world is this going to work out don't you think he has he's going to have to fold right

00:31:31.720 i think it's the thing you say when you your first day on the job but i don't think any of

00:31:39.000 the sanctuary city stuff's going to hold tom homan already said good luck we're going to do what we're

00:31:45.960 going to do and he doesn't look like a guy who messes around and he's going to have the backing of

00:31:51.160 the president and the entire government so good luck los angeles when i found out my friend got a

00:31:59.560 great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from

00:32:05.720 winners like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful

00:32:12.120 gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high

00:32:17.560 boots that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering

00:32:24.920 start winning winners find fabulous for less um i saw saw a video showing the el salvador prisons

00:32:37.160 so as you know um president bukele down in el salvador is getting a lot of credit for lowering uh

00:32:44.440 especially uh gang crime but the way he did it was he just locked up basically everybody with a tattoo

00:32:51.160 i'm exaggerating but that's pretty close because the gang members are heavily tattooed so it looks like

00:32:56.840 he just built um enormous three football stadiums it was described buildings that are just full of gang

00:33:05.880 members and they showed the conditions of the gang members they have water uh a little i don't know

00:33:16.200 bucket or something that like 50 of them use for a bathroom they're all in the same cell but there

00:33:21.960 are lots of these cells with a whole bunch of people in them every cell has a guard an armed guard

00:33:27.800 standing in front of the cell now there are multiple multiple people in each little unit but

00:33:34.120 there's literally a guard 24 hours just standing there looking at them armed guard because they're the

00:33:39.720 the most dangerous people in the world and uh they don't even have cushions on beds so they're sleeping

00:33:48.200 on hard ground drinking water probably not eating the best food and i think they'll just be there forever

00:33:57.800 so it's a weird situation because on one hand i'm completely in favor of it on the other hand i would

00:34:06.280 add one thing i think they should have a suicide option because if they're never getting out

00:34:14.200 i don't know who would want to live like that so why don't you give an option of killing themselves

00:34:21.240 you know peacefully like you give them the suicide pills and say all right we'll

00:34:26.200 command of your cell we'll put you in this special cell just take these pills

00:34:31.320 and then we'll take your body off to be cremated don't you think you would get rid of a lot of

00:34:36.360 them i mean assuming that they know they're going to be there forever and if they got out it wouldn't

00:34:41.080 be that great either let them kill themselves because what i saw looked like torture

00:34:50.760 again i'm not saying they shouldn't torture them because it looks like they were pretty bad dudes

00:34:56.360 so maybe they deserve everything they get maybe it's better that they're tortured before they they

00:35:01.080 die but it seems like you could save a lot of time and money and space if you gave them the option

00:35:06.200 i know that would seem it would seem like murder if you put them in a position where killing

00:35:10.600 themselves was more pleasant than than staying in jail but um bukele made a joke on it and on x so he's

00:35:21.880 happy about it and it's certainly working anyway do you think we're going to do something like that

00:35:27.240 in the united states no we will not um so axios did a little study and said that uh none of the voters

00:35:40.680 in their their latest focus group the engage you sago focus group that's the best one i guess

00:35:47.960 uh none of them think that uh trump being a having a close relationship with elon musk is a good idea

00:35:56.920 really really you can't find anybody in a focus group who thinks that working with the smartest

00:36:05.640 most capable man on the planet could be good for you when he's working on the hardest problem in the

00:36:11.480 world which is the reorganizing the government and the debt and he's the person you would trust the

00:36:17.160 most with that exact job and you're not you're worried about that that's the thing they're worried

00:36:24.440 about now i do understand i do understand they don't want him to you know be like a shadow president

00:36:33.160 or something but what do you think you're going to get bad decisions what happens if elon musk becomes a

00:36:40.760 little bit too much too influential what what problem exactly does that cause

00:36:49.080 because the whole time i'm just looking at it and i'm thinking god i hope he's influential

00:36:54.280 like i hope hope trump's taking him seriously i hope he lets him you know do his thing the only thing i

00:37:01.240 want is for elon to do his thing because there's i don't think there's any chance that he's in it for

00:37:08.760 any reason other than help the country um no obviously it's good for business but it should

00:37:13.640 be good for everybody's business if they get the government out of their back pocket

00:37:20.040 so that's a weird opinion but i guess it's widely held by some people in the focus group

00:37:26.680 speaking of um so axios is also reporting that uh trump's initial cabinet picks show that he's uh

00:37:39.160 moving towards uh getting rid of the uh and well he wants to be let's see how they say it he's moving

00:37:46.760 swiftly to implement anti-trans anti-dei and anti-social justice agenda that underpinned his election does that

00:37:55.240 sound like a fair way to say it that he's moving to implement anti-trans anti-dei and anti-social justice

00:38:06.600 here's another way to word it he is dismantling systemic racism in the government

00:38:12.200 and he won a mandate by a landslide to do that is that wrong all right listen to my wording and then

00:38:21.720 listen to axios and tell me if my wording is more accurate all right there's again is that he's

00:38:27.400 anti-trans anti-dei and anti-social justice and i say that he's dismantling systemic racism

00:38:35.960 and by the way he's not anti-trans

00:38:41.880 nobody's anti-trans this is not a thing you might be anti

00:38:47.160 anti-giving trans more rights than you think it makes sense for the other people in the public but

00:38:52.760 it's not exactly anti-trans

00:38:57.160 um but he's anti-dei which is racist so he's anti-racism and he's anti-social justice because

00:39:03.320 the way it's used is racist and sexist so he's dismantling bigotry in the government

00:39:09.720 that's what he's doing meanwhile uh do you remember former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe

00:39:18.600 back from the russia collusion days he says that matt gates uh who's nominated to be the attorney

00:39:26.200 general quote couldn't get hired by the fbi huh so is that true he couldn't get hired by the fbi but he

00:39:36.280 could be the attorney general in charge of all that stuff well

00:39:43.160 probably true i'm gonna say true because there are enough like allegations running around that

00:39:50.440 maybe that'd be a problem but i think this is a fun game and we should play some more of it

00:39:56.200 what kind of jobs our leaders couldn't get for example joe biden i don't believe could get a job

00:40:02.680 as a babysitter you know what i mean i don't think he could

00:40:12.920 how about kamala harris could she get a job as running your aaa meetings probably not probably not

00:40:23.800 could kamala harris get a job that required a drug test i don't know good question could she

00:40:33.400 could kamala harris get a job as the head of the fbi

00:40:38.600 again i'm pretty sure you'd have to trade pass a drug test

00:40:43.080 vice president and president didn't have to pass any drug test right

00:40:47.560 so i don't know just just suspicions i don't have any proof that she does any drugs

00:40:54.120 all right so that's a fun game what what you could not be hired to do um hugh hewitt is saying that

00:41:03.720 maybe the gates nomination is some kind of 4d chess you've ever heard that before

00:41:09.880 uh trump and uh gates may be running a play and the real purpose of it is to get gates out of his

00:41:19.320 ethics probe so he's under an ethics investigation in the house they haven't completed it but since

00:41:27.000 he's resigned and he resigned under the cover of nomination for aj that they would naturally drop

00:41:35.240 the investigation although there's some thinking that the paper might be released

00:41:39.960 but it wouldn't be it wouldn't be binding on anything because he wouldn't be a member at that point

00:41:48.040 um so what do you think of that do you think that the whole thing was a clever plan

00:41:54.840 to simply avoid him being um covered by that proceeding and do you think that um

00:42:06.920 well i think i think it could be just one of the benefits

00:42:13.800 i think that genuinely um trump would feel more comfortable with his you know most loyal uh hellraiser

00:42:24.040 in that position so if it's not if he doesn't want matt gates in that position then my question would be

00:42:32.360 who's better well who are we going to see that would be a better choice now there definitely you

00:42:39.160 could get somebody who would be less controversial so that's easy and less controversy is worth something

00:42:46.040 right that's not nothing so you know indeed he could get somebody less controversial

00:42:51.800 but could he get somebody who would trust more who would more likely pull the weeds out by the roots

00:43:00.360 than than uh gates i don't think so he might actually he's very high on my list as

00:43:08.440 first choice so we'll see it could be that he wants him as ag it could be that it also solves that

00:43:15.080 the problem of the uh the ethics thing could be but let me say this as unambiguously as possible

00:43:24.680 i don't care what matt gates did as a single man some of the things he's being accused of

00:43:33.000 you know it would be you could say oh i wish he hadn't done that or you shouldn't brag about his

00:43:39.000 you know his success with the ladies yeah okay i don't care you know i mean i could agree with you

00:43:47.000 that maybe less of that would be better but i don't care and you can't make me care about his sex life

00:43:55.160 now there's allegations that there was something illegal that i'm not even going to mention

00:43:59.320 but he's not being brought up on any legal charges so if the if the government's legal mechanism can't

00:44:09.000 find anything that they think is worth pursuing then why am i going to listen to some report

00:44:15.880 if i've got a legal system that says nope we'll take a pass on this doesn't look like we can make

00:44:21.080 him guilty and yet there's some report that acts like he is guilty

00:44:25.080 i think i'm going to go with innocent until proven guilty like that's i've said it a million times

00:44:32.840 that's got to be the standard so if you can't prove it you're not taking him to court i don't want to

00:44:38.200 hear it not i'm not even a little bit interested if it's not illegal and something you did when he

00:44:43.800 was single i wouldn't even care if it was something you did when he was married because that's not my

00:44:47.320 business but yeah i don't care so you can't make me care you cannot make me care what you did as a

00:46:01.800 famous left-leaning people around um he's slamming the people who were saying that fox news and the like

00:46:09.880 are the are the reason that trump won um and i like how he put it because he's not he's not mincing any

00:46:16.360 words because this idea that like uh uh oh no the economy is actually good or crime is actually down

00:46:23.880 that this is all just fox news he says like shut the f up with that client fumed uh he was on he was on

00:46:33.240 one of the pod saves one of those podcasts um and he said uh if you just talk to people who lived in the

00:46:42.440 cities you would know that people were really really unhappy and he said that if you'd spend

00:46:48.280 any time basically talking to real people who lived in the cities you would have totally known

00:46:53.000 that trump was going to do better than the media was telling you because people were pissed and

00:46:59.800 um he said he mentioned his he says the thing that surprised me least about the election

00:47:06.680 was a sharp red shift in these big cities because if you talk to anybody who lives in them they

00:47:11.560 are furious now do you know why this is national news this is just one person with an opinion

00:47:21.880 and we all have opinions and there are like thousands of famous people with opinions why is

00:47:28.120 this one famous at least famous in politics why is this one well-known person his opinion

00:47:35.000 why is it national news why is everybody talking about it do you know why

00:47:42.280 because it's a democrat telling the truth

00:47:46.840 that that's i'm not joking that's actually the reason there's a democrat telling the truth

00:47:52.840 so it's national news

00:47:55.560 right because there's nothing about this there's nothing about this opinion that's new provocative

00:48:03.240 innovative he's not reframing anything he's saying what the majority of americans already knew because

00:48:09.960 they just voted in the new president so all he's doing is agreeing with the majority of americans

00:48:15.400 who are looking at the same stuff he's looking at and it's national news because he told the truth

00:48:23.800 just hold that in your mind for a moment hold in your mind that it's national news

00:48:28.520 that a democrat told the truth and like an obvious truth like one that we all see is true we don't have to do any research

00:48:39.480 well i'm going to give him full credit

00:48:41.080 so you know it would be easy to go negative on this and say where were you before and why weren't you speaking out and why don't you

00:48:49.320 why didn't you vote for trump if you believe this and all that but how about how about we just say

00:48:54.440 thank you if there's any other democrats who want to say something that's obviously true

00:49:02.680 i'm here for it and i'm happy to say bygones or bygones and if you were wrong before or you're

00:49:10.200 playing for a team before but now you see things a little differently i'm here for you so unity

00:49:17.880 i think a little bit of or at least at least being open to unity is absolutely worth doing we're in

00:49:27.480 you know it's the beginning of the golden age so if i hear something i like from the team that was

00:49:32.920 opposed to me up until now i'm gonna say good for you now you heard the news that aoc removed her

00:49:40.280 pronouns from her profile on x i haven't heard why she did it but i assume it's for the obvious reason

00:49:48.520 that she doesn't think that's the focus or where it should be to which i say good for you

00:49:55.000 i can disagree with you on other stuff but about i'll just say good for you find a little unity in

00:50:01.080 that too so it's not that uh unity is going to break out and we're all going to be singing kumbaya

00:50:08.440 but just as a citizen of america that i want america to do to do well i feel like anytime i see any

00:50:16.040 movement toward just common sense and telling the truth that i'm going to give it a shout out so

00:50:23.000 good for ezra klein i think that you did something useful for democrats

00:50:29.560 meanwhile uh even at least one judge has decided that with trump coming into power and the likelihood

00:50:37.560 that he will uh he will pardon the j6ers at least one j6ers trial was postponed because there was no

00:50:45.480 point in doing it so i guess the judge said it's just a waste of time he's going to get pardoned anyway

00:50:51.880 to which i say good work judge that is the correct answer i like seeing the common sense also in the

00:51:00.600 judiciary so i don't know if this judge is leaning left or right or who appointed this judge but it's

00:51:06.680 true that no matter who appointed the judge this would be a waste of the public's money there's no

00:51:13.480 point in putting this person further into the the system because they're going to be freed in a few

00:51:18.600 weeks so yes this was the right right direction right decision over in north korea kim jong-un

00:51:27.400 apparently is going big on suicide drones so they're going to do major manufacturing of suicide

00:51:34.360 drones to which i asked this following question why isn't america making all kinds of suicide drones

00:51:43.880 in america i i keep hearing that we can't catch up to china china's manufacturing you know drones like

00:51:51.640 crazy what is it that makes us unable to make a drone we obviously have the technology we could

00:52:00.520 obviously use robots to do most of the manufacturing so it can't be that much more expensive to make it

00:52:07.160 in the united states and if north korea can make swarms of drones are you telling me that north korea can

00:52:15.000 spin up a drone factory and we can't because why they get help from china or something maybe china's

00:52:20.840 helping um or is it russia is the because we now know that um uh thousands of north korean troops

00:52:31.800 have been sent to help russia in the ukraine war so is it possible that russia is the technical and

00:52:38.520 maybe even investment help and they're building a less bombable drone factory how about that if you if

00:52:47.880 you make a drone factory and you put it in russia do you think you could trust ukraine not to bomb

00:52:54.200 the drone factory you could not no matter where you put it in russia um ukraine has already shown that

00:53:01.880 they'll take out like a weapons depot so of course they would take out your drone factory but what if

00:53:07.960 you put your drone factory in north korea do you think ukraine is going to take out a drone factory in north

00:53:14.360 korea i don't think so so it might be a pretty clever place for the bad guys to hide a drone

00:53:21.560 factory and i'm going to say that north korea is not doing the hard lifting on their own they must be

00:53:26.680 getting some help either from russia or china or both

00:53:34.040 wall street journal says that trump has vowed to remake education in the u.s

00:53:39.560 by getting rid of the woke stuff in the classroom yay funding private school tuition

00:53:45.880 we'll see how much of that happens and abolishing the department of education

00:53:51.400 but he also has this idea of accredited a a government accredited college that anybody

00:53:58.600 could go to everybody gets in i guess and they could take what classes they want and get it accredited

00:54:04.280 now i think most of that would be online and ai so we'll see where that goes but i don't think i'd

00:54:12.280 want a college that you didn't have a physical experience with if your college is totally online

00:54:20.120 and you don't at least meet with your classmates or meet for study periods with people taking the same

00:54:25.320 classes that would be a pretty empty and cold experience for three or four years so i think we

00:54:33.320 need to work on the alternative education social part because i don't think it's good for kids to

00:54:41.240 have no social you know contact and i know the homeschoolers do a good job of it the homeschoolers

00:54:47.560 you make sure they get together with other homeschoolers and stuff so they're already doing

00:54:51.320 a good job of it but if the government weighs in more heavily i hope that they make sure that the

00:54:57.240 physical connections with people are maintained somehow

00:55:04.920 well rfk jr is picked as the health and human services secretary so that's the the group that's

00:55:11.400 ahead of all the smaller federal health agencies so that would give him power over everything health related

00:55:18.760 i can't even tell you how much i love this i just absolutely love it

00:55:29.080 are we getting what is this i'm seeing some anti-semitism that needs to stop right now

00:55:39.000 is there something going on and going on in the comments over there yeah well i just saw something

00:55:48.120 go by that you need to stop that right away none none of that is okay that is not okay all right um

00:55:59.320 um so i i forgot that rachel levine was the uh health and human services secretary before

00:56:12.120 so i don't have a comment on that i'll just note that going from rachel levine to rfk jr is a

00:56:19.400 pretty big change in priorities pretty big change and uh i'm all in i'm all in on this now i do think

00:56:29.320 that if the way pharma works and even the way food works is uh is radically changed we are

00:56:37.800 guaranteed to have two things happen we're going to have some pretty deadly disruptions probably in

00:56:44.200 our pharma business in the long run i think we'll be way better in the short run it might deny us some

00:56:52.760 medicines that work better than they don't work and in the long run although i think

00:56:58.600 it's giant potential improvement same with food in the short run we might learn that some of the foods

00:57:06.600 that we routinely are so dangerous they should be immediately taken off the market which will cause

00:57:12.760 other food prices to go up which will cause us to have fewer choices so my guess is that you can't

00:57:20.600 do any major reforms for for the pharma approvals or for the food approvals without major disruptions

00:57:29.160 now it's the it's the fear of major disruption that makes anybody not change anything because you

00:57:36.680 don't want the the negative to be greater than the benefit you're trying to get but when you reach a point

00:57:44.600 where your food and your medicine is killing you and you don't trust either one then the risk of

00:57:51.720 a disruption becomes manageable so here's the thing i want to tell you if you think that rfk jr

00:57:59.320 can do what he wants without major disruptions pretty major to the way you live and maybe even people you

00:58:07.880 know will have some health outcomes that's all gonna happen you're gonna get some problems right

00:58:15.320 so just just know for sure that you can't make a change this big without you know breaking a few

00:58:21.640 eggs to make your omelet some eggs are gonna get broken but we have to get past this we have institutions

00:58:29.720 that are just broken and we we've got to fix it and the only way to do it is you know a bunch of

00:58:35.800 people are going to leave and they're going to take with them some institutional knowledge

00:58:39.720 we'll have to you know build it back we can build it back better to borrow a phrase but not until

00:58:46.680 there's a lot of problems in between now the fact that rfk jr is apparently fearless he apparently has

00:58:54.920 no fear of anything physical social or political uh or physical yeah physical social he doesn't appear to

00:59:04.040 have any fear or he operates as if he doesn't which is even more awesome but talk about the right guy

00:59:11.800 for the right job at the right time it's just the thing that's blowing my mind is the timing

00:59:19.400 you know a number of people have made the analogy that um i i some of us call it the pirate ship

00:59:26.520 you know trump's uh collection of extraordinary people um others are liking it to the founders

00:59:34.440 and it's like a refounding like we're being founded for a second time but what are the odds that rfk jr would

00:59:42.200 be available at the same time that vivek and elon musk and tulsi gabbard um are all available

00:59:54.680 and they're not really available they're just willing to do it you know elon musk is the busiest person in

00:59:59.000 the world but made himself available i've never seen anything like that i've never seen anything

01:00:05.000 close to it do you remember when uh you used to hear that lincoln had the uh what do you call it

01:00:12.680 the advisors that were what was that phrase for the advisors that were on the other side he had a team of

01:00:20.920 adversaries what was that called there's a famous phrase for it you'll see it in the comments um but

01:00:28.280 trump actually did that trump trump has the republican um the republican administration team of rivals team

01:00:38.200 of rivals thank you um but he's got a i'll call them a team of rivals except that when it comes to this

01:00:45.480 they're all on the same same side so he actually he actually got the best version of a team of rivals

01:00:52.760 you could ever get which is a team of rivals who change sides because the other side wasn't doing it

01:00:59.080 that's the best you can do you know you don't want a team of rivals that still thinks their side is right

01:01:04.600 that that's just trouble i mean i could see why there's some advantage to it as well because you

01:01:10.600 get a hearty debate but if you can get your team of rivals to be people who publicly repudiated the

01:01:18.200 team they're leaving and said they just can't get this stuff done and this is going to kill us all

01:01:22.840 and then they go to the team that might be able to get it done and save us all you can't get better

01:01:27.720 than that so i am so happy to be alive at at this great coincidence that those particular characters

01:01:37.320 are all up for the fight and i'm and i'm not even naming all of them right i mean you could throw in

01:01:43.480 bill ackman you could throw in you know half a dozen other people jd vance you know you there's a

01:01:49.400 lot of people you could throw in who are all in on the fight i know i am i'm definitely all in

01:01:55.000 but elizabeth warren is not so happy she um she just said on msnb's the msnbc uh that tulsi gabbard

01:02:07.560 quote has clearly been in putin's pocket really really tulsi gabbard has clearly been in putin's pocket

01:02:20.040 and what evidence do we have of that none but here's my advice if you watch the elizabeth warren

01:02:28.760 clip which is on x and probably going around today turn off the sound and then just look at her crazy

01:02:37.640 face she can't hide the crazy i mean her face it looks like this distorted like demon face if you

01:02:47.880 hear the words it doesn't sound so bad because because the words actually come out and sound

01:02:52.600 in like regular sentences and stuff but if you look at the face the face is just contorted with

01:03:00.600 some kind of weird mental illness or lying or something it just doesn't look right and i'm not

01:03:07.640 saying this is every democrat is a weird liar face but there are so many of them that do that it's weird

01:03:13.640 weird you don't see that on the republicans at all like who has who has a adam shift face

01:03:22.600 shift face who has an adam shift face who's a republican or or elizabeth warren distorted mentally ill face

01:03:35.000 now you notice um there are plenty of democrats i don't say that about

01:03:40.360 um i've seen al franken for example on tv he doesn't seem to have a weird distorted face he's

01:03:47.480 just someone who might disagree with me politically doesn't appear to be crazy at all not even a little

01:03:53.240 bit i just disagree with them but they have so many people that msnb put msnbc platforms that you turn

01:04:01.640 off the sound and you just go oh i wouldn't hire you to work at mcdonald's or the fbi

01:04:07.720 so that's happening anyway today is friday i'm told so this is the day that the weekend starts

01:04:20.200 that is an hour of the finest entertainment you've ever had but i want to see in the comments how many

01:04:25.880 of you watch the morning show because it makes you feel less lonely like some of you are watching for

01:04:32.680 the content i hope but how many of you just feel like because it's sort of interactive and it's live

01:04:40.280 it just it just feels like there's somebody in your house right now me and that there are a bunch of

01:04:45.320 other people who are observers yeah in the comments there are more people on locals who are there to be less

01:04:54.600 lonely

01:04:55.000 so let me make this pitch to those of you who are feeling lonely who are not on locals so locals is a

01:05:04.360 subscription service seven bucks a month but you get a discount if you do a year in advance

01:05:11.000 and it's got the dilbert comic and the dilbert calendar comic and the robots read nudes comic which

01:05:16.920 is naughty and then a bunch of political stuff and memes that you might find too much for you

01:05:24.520 so the there's low censorship on locals so for some of you that won't work you'll be seeing

01:05:31.160 stuff you don't want to see i'll be honest about that but if you don't care about that or you find it

01:05:36.920 fun i find i find the memes the more inappropriate they are the funnier they are to me

01:05:42.600 so on locals we embrace the inappropriate as inappropriate so we're not i don't have to judge

01:05:51.160 it i just laugh at it it's like oh that's so inappropriate but that doesn't mean you need

01:05:56.040 to get canceled for saying it if it's funny it's funny if you didn't want to see like things like

01:06:01.560 that you would not be on locals and so you wouldn't have to be exposed to it

01:06:05.800 so i'm going to put out this uh this uh offer to you if you're not on locals and you're having a

01:06:14.680 problem with loneliness i did not plan it this way but you know how products evolve on their own

01:06:22.120 um apparently the biggest benefit people get is that they're meeting the other people online

01:06:27.480 they have relationships in the morning when i do the pre-show before i do the regular show

01:06:32.840 just do a handheld phone situation as i'm getting ready for the show petting my dog and doing some

01:06:39.320 fun stuff um mostly they just don't even pay attention to me it's just all the people checking

01:06:47.000 in with their favorite people that they see every morning same ones every morning so they're about

01:06:51.560 um 500 people check in in the morning who all got to know each other and um i think they would all

01:06:58.920 say that it makes them feel less lonely it should it should so loneliness is a gigantic problem i can't

01:07:08.280 solve it completely but if you wanted and if you want a uh a digital friend and you want 500 extra

01:07:15.800 digital friends or over 11 000 people on locals subscription for just just my community so there's

01:07:23.320 plenty of people there they're not all there for the same reason some of them there just want to see

01:07:28.120 the comics see they see the memes but a whole bunch of them are just there because they live alone

01:07:35.400 and often they're a certain age and we make that okay so i do an evening program almost every night

01:07:43.400 um around dinner time california time and that one is the one where the lonely are most served because

01:07:52.120 it's more intimate and we don't worry about the news we just hang out and i love it so for me it's the

01:08:00.040 same has the same benefit so i'm never lonely because i spend time with hundreds of people

01:08:09.080 two hours every day and it helps

01:08:13.800 all right the dilbert calendar is available too for 2025 you can only get it at the link at

01:08:19.720 dilbert.com it's not on amazon it's not in the stores it will only be at that link that you can find at

01:08:26.280 dilbert.com and that's all i got for now i'm going to talk to the locals people uh privately and the rest of

01:08:36.280 you i will see you tomorrow same time same place thanks on x and youtube and rumble it's been great to see

01:08:43.480 you bye for now
