i'm sure you're happy if you own stocks today it's looking good in the stock market bitcoin's
00:00:05.440
up i feel sorry for jaguar there's a jaguar meme that's pretty funny all right let me call up your
00:00:14.320
comments here on locals to make sure make sure i'm seeing the best of it here it is
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:41.680
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this
00:00:47.600
experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:53.200
all you need is a cup or mug or a glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask
00:00:58.640
a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:01:02.960
unparalleled pleasure the dopamine at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better
00:01:06.640
it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go
00:01:19.520
so so good well the first uh starlink satellite uh direct to cell phone constellation is now
00:01:28.240
complete i think that means you can't quite use it yet but the physical assets of satellites are in
00:01:36.160
the right place so very soon according to elon musk you'll be able to use your regular unmodified cell
00:01:44.000
phone to use starlink as a phone network and apparently the uh there's also something happening
00:01:52.240
with starlink that's going to greatly reduce the latency which is a big deal with the satellite stuff
00:02:00.080
i guess the uh next ring of satellites is going to be closer to the earth and it's going to make a
00:02:06.480
big big difference in how fast your your starlink speed is so that's cool and other cool news according to
00:02:14.880
zion lights um which is name of a person by the way zion lights uh britain's uh is installing its first
00:02:24.960
nuclear reactor in 30 years at hinckley point so that's good news right do you remember when the uk used to
00:02:35.440
be an ally of the united states i remember that that one that was cool but now they're uh i don't know what
00:02:43.040
what they are now but uh they're gonna have a lot of nuclear power so would have been good if they
00:02:49.200
had done that 30 years ago maybe uh there's a there was a uh accidental scientific discovery
00:02:57.520
live science is reporting it according to owen hughes uh they they accidentally discovered something
00:03:05.440
that could uh lower the the energy needed to store things
00:03:13.040
uh the energy needed to store data could go down by up to a billion times it could be a billion times
00:03:23.280
more energy efficient than current technology now i don't think we have any idea of how good the golden
00:03:31.440
age could be it could be really good because if we've got europe putting in the you know nuclear energy
00:03:39.760
and we've got starlink giving us competition with satellites and phones and we've got uh you know
00:03:46.560
a billion times advantage i mean it's early in the technology they haven't developed it yet
00:03:53.040
but it looks like it would work and then we've got uh according to the guardian google's deep mind
00:03:59.360
their ai can predict weather way better than the other way they've been doing it so they're using
00:04:05.920
artificial intelligence and it's 20 better than what they've been using up to now yeah it seems like
00:04:14.160
a 20 advantage in forecasting the weather would make a big deal because i make a lot of decisions based
00:04:22.320
on the weather don't you and if you get it wrong it can be expensive like you can actually probably save
00:04:29.760
a lot of money just by having better uh weather forecasts so that's cool um according to uh future
00:04:39.040
futurity that's a publication and byron spice he says that robots uh are getting some new tech that
00:04:47.440
allows them to figure out how to manipulate their physical environment without understanding everything
00:04:54.960
about the objects so in other words it robots are pretty good at doing the exact same thing over
00:05:01.600
and over but if you show them let's say a a table full of dishes and you say pick up these dishes or set
00:05:09.600
this table or cook a meal and has to figure out every new move like the first diamond's ever seen it
00:05:16.000
um it's not good at that but apparently there's a new approach and it's making a big deal so some phd
00:05:25.840
student murtaza dalai at the school of computer science and robotics institute at carnegie mellon
00:05:34.960
um apparently they've got this new breakthrough so they can just sort of show it its situation
00:05:41.600
and tell it what to do and it can figure out how to manipulate every object in its domain that would
00:05:48.880
be amazing now but the thing i always complain about with robots is that they're always slow and i just
00:05:56.960
don't get that and i've said this before but correct me if i'm wrong i have to do my robot impression again
00:06:05.440
if if you saw a robot in the 1950s try to do anything it would be
00:06:16.080
and then if you see a robot 50 years later with all the modern technology and and you know super
00:06:32.880
i i get that it's hard to make it accurate but they can never make it faster and so it always has to
00:06:40.880
go slow slowly i don't know i don't get that part well the daniel penny uh jury is maybe back
00:06:48.880
deliberating i have not yet heard of a uh of a conclusion so i believe the daniel penny
00:06:58.880
jury got sent home yesterday because they had not made a decision so they should be back at it today
00:07:04.560
i think judge janine on the five said with some confidence that we'll see a verdict today um i i love
00:07:13.520
i love judge janine's context lots of times because she's got the experience so she can just sort of
00:07:20.320
look at this case and say oh yeah they'll have a verdict today she's probably right and here's what i
00:07:27.280
think the verdict will be hung jury uh i predict that they will not be able to make a decision
00:07:35.440
because it's just too political there's going to be at least one person on that jury who says he has
00:07:41.120
to go to jail because they don't want to face the angry crowds outside or they just think that's
00:07:48.240
the right thing to do i guarantee there will be at least one person on the jury who says you're going
00:07:54.960
to have to kill me before you put this guy in jail let me say that again there's a very high chance
00:08:03.040
there's at least one person on that jury who's saying effectively you know not out loud but effectively
00:08:09.680
you'd have to kill me to put him in jail because that's what i'd be thinking if you put me on that
00:08:15.280
jury i would say i don't care what the other 11 of you have to say you would have to kill me to put
00:08:23.200
him in jail under these circumstances you would have to kill me so hung jury i don't think there's any
00:08:30.640
way to get a verdict do you do you see any way that 12 people will agree that he's either completely
00:08:40.000
guilty or completely not guilty i don't see it because there's way too much subjectivity in this
00:08:50.400
there shouldn't be but there is so that's my prediction hung jury um bright bar news is reporting
00:09:06.160
this is my favorite story of the day that the va veterans administration
00:09:13.200
uh official in a tennessee veterans hospital apparently they were having all kinds of sex
00:09:19.680
orgies at the va hospital and there was one va official who allegedly had sex with 32 different co-workers
00:09:32.080
and they didn't include a photo are you just teasing me are you telling me that there's a citizen
00:09:39.600
who is so is so sexy that that he or she i don't know if it was a he or she was capable of having
00:09:48.640
sex with 32 different co-workers i've got to see a picture you you can't tease me with a headline like
00:09:57.600
that and not show me the picture especially if it was a dude because they don't say male or female i'm
00:10:04.960
i'm assuming female just because that's a lot of numbers but what if it was a guy
00:10:12.640
wouldn't you like to see a picture of a guy who could successfully have sex with 32 co-workers
00:10:18.960
like that must be the best looking guy in the world unless it's a woman then maybe you know lower standard
00:10:25.920
still need a photo all right i know you want to talk about the uh the tragedy of the murder of the
00:10:35.840
ceo of united health care health care insurance company um and here are the things we know about
00:10:42.640
it apparently he was a ceo of a insurer who was famous for turning down the most uh requests for
00:10:52.560
coverage so they they seem to have an industry wildly highest um declines now i don't know if that had to
00:11:02.800
do with what market they were serving it could be that they were serving a down market and so there was
00:11:08.640
just more more fraud or something but uh they were famous for declining uh declining uh i guess insurance
00:11:18.400
claims what uh when we watched the video i think all of you saw the video of the murder on the streets
00:11:26.720
of new york and manhattan um how many of you said when you saw it well there's a professional hit right
00:11:33.440
there in the comments tell me how many of you said there's a professional hit did any of you say that
00:11:41.360
because i watched it too and if there's one thing i can tell you for sure that was no professional hit
00:11:53.200
that was someone who never even used the gun he used for the hit
00:11:57.680
do you think he had ever used that gun with a silencer no no he never done it he never shot it even
00:12:06.160
once because it's but once you saw how many times he had to clear it or reload it or re-cock it or
00:12:13.840
whatever the hell he was doing it was obvious that he did not have practice i mean it was just the wrong
00:12:21.280
wrong device now i saw a lot of the people who know way more about guns than i do debating what the actual
00:12:28.800
gun was and uh the uh the person who seemed to know the most um seemed to indicate that he didn't know
00:12:42.560
how to match his silencer with his weapon so i don't know enough about this topic but apparently
00:12:51.440
you need the right kind of silencer for the right kind of weapon and you need the right kind of ammunition
00:12:56.640
depending on what you're doing so it looked like he did not have that all figured out
00:13:02.320
so professional hitman probably not the other the other thing arguing against it is the first shot was
00:13:10.240
from a distance which doesn't seem professional i think the first one should have been closer police are
00:13:16.480
saying that i think um and he had a cell phone on him which is a strange thing to do if you're a murderer
00:13:24.320
and uh he left on a traceable rented bike now despite those things he did get away
00:13:36.640
so i don't think you can use these as examples of somebody who didn't know how to do a murder and
00:13:41.760
get away with it since he did a murder and he got away with it so he definitely did some thinking
00:13:50.320
anything and he it wasn't a random act it wasn't uh it wasn't something that was uh well it wasn't
00:13:57.680
random it was obviously directed at this one person so my take is that it's somebody smart enough
00:14:06.240
to do some research and put together a fairly complicated plan including a getaway but not
00:14:13.840
somebody who does did it for a living it didn't look like a professional and not only that but he left
00:14:18.720
him alive when he left the guy he was still alive when he left and they tried to save him but they
00:14:24.320
couldn't now um there will be much speculation about this um but we're still in the fog of crime
00:14:35.440
you know the fog of war when all the news is wrong and later three weeks later you find out oh all the
00:14:41.920
initial reports were wrong well one of the initial reports i think abc news had it is that the some of
00:14:49.040
the bullets found at the scene um some of the apparently he had some you know actual rounds that
00:14:57.920
hadn't been fired they left on the scene because he was loading loading one round at a time into his
00:15:05.680
weird little gun and some of them dropped so none of this makes complete sense but apparently the
00:15:13.200
reporting which i'm going to tell you i don't believe is that the rounds had the words deny
00:15:19.200
defend and depose on the shell casings oh the shell casings not not the actual round maybe
00:15:26.320
would it be a i'm not sure if it was a shell if it was a shell casing that means it was a spent round right
00:15:32.240
yeah and it said it was left of the scene now those words are the title of a book about how insurers
00:15:41.360
don't pay claims now first of all is it true that the name of a book is written on some of those
00:15:52.560
shell casings do you believe that do you believe that these shell casings have the name of a book on
00:15:59.600
i'm gonna say no i'm gonna say that's a little bit i don't know i don't know i just don't see it
00:16:12.560
because at the very least it would be one more way to get caught right so
00:16:19.440
here's one possibility one possibility is that because he was in an industry where
00:16:26.160
you know customers can get really mad if their claims are denied that uh maybe somebody had a
00:16:34.800
personal reason to kill him but they're diverting attention over to this unprovable everybody in
00:16:41.920
the world wants to kill him because the business he's in it's kind of a perfect cover and if you were
00:16:48.400
trying to divert to a alibi story or a you know some some alternative explanation you might write the
00:16:58.640
name of a health care book on your bullets but otherwise i don't think you'd write it on the bullet
00:17:07.520
casing none of this sounds real so i'm going to guess so here's my first speculation my first speculation
00:17:15.680
is the abc report is fake and that there's nothing written on any bullets or casings that's my first
00:17:24.720
thing if there is something written on the bullet casings um that doesn't mean that was the real reason
00:17:34.480
because you could it's just as easy to imagine that that was a diversion than it was a real reason
00:17:40.640
so there could be any number of a dozen different reasons there was some report about the ceo being
00:17:50.400
investigated for insider trading but i have no reason to believe that's true um everything you hear is
00:17:56.560
going to be fog of war fog of crime so uh so i guess the first thing i'd say is since these are all
00:18:06.400
innocent civilians as far as we know not to make you know any any claims about any bad behavior by the
00:18:14.640
people who are the victims so at this point we have we have a family that's that are victims and that's
00:18:21.520
all we know so i wouldn't i wouldn't speculate beyond that but i would speculate that early information
00:18:28.240
about it is probably wrong and i'm certain it's not a professional it's a professional who didn't
00:18:34.960
know to cover his nose with his mask i mean it didn't look that professional to me maybe it was a
00:18:42.560
bad professional maybe it was his first day at work anyway um wired says they can trick ai-powered
00:18:52.400
robots into doing dangerous and violent things you know with a variety of tricks and uh it makes me
00:19:01.120
wonder especially after this um ceo tragedy murder it makes me wonder if we're near the end of human
00:19:09.360
murder because it'll be so much easier to send a machine to do it it'll still be a human who's you
00:19:16.080
know behind the murder but if you could get a drone to do it for you i feel like you'd send the robot or
00:19:26.080
you'd send the drone or you'd hack into the self-driving car i i feel like all murder in 10
00:19:32.560
years is going to be via robot or ai or self-driving car or airplane that falls out of the sky on top of
00:19:40.480
you or something so i got a feeling murder is going to look really different ontario the wait is over

00:20:46.720
well according to who was this according to somebody um i think this was uh rasmussen
00:21:00.400
rasmussen said that uh hagseth has a lot of support with the gop voters as you would suspect
00:21:08.400
um and democrats don't like it as you would suspect which makes me think i wonder about this whole
00:21:15.520
confirmation process if the confirmation process turns into predictably you know exactly what the
00:21:23.200
democrats are going to vote for and you know exactly what the republicans are going to vote for
00:21:28.160
i it makes me wonder if the whole you know approving of people is we have to do something different
00:21:36.320
because if it just lines up along party lines every time it really doesn't work so this might be the
00:21:45.120
uh the cycle that tells us to rethink that whole situation
00:21:50.320
well according to also wired um they checked a bunch of random phones from people who
00:21:58.160
thought that they might have problems with their phones so it wasn't it wasn't completely random it was
00:22:02.080
people who suspected there might be some spyware on their phones because they have those kinds of jobs
00:22:07.920
and sure enough they found seven phones and of 2500 yeah out of 2500 devices they found seven of them
00:22:18.560
had that pegasus infection now pegasus is the the super bad spy spy version like it's not it's not the
00:22:29.440
one you want on your phone at all but here's my problem uh the company that found it makes a
00:22:38.400
makes an app or software i guess that checks for uh that kind of infection how can how can you ever
00:22:46.320
check or how can you ever trust the company that makes the software that checks for the viruses
00:22:52.240
how could you ever trust them like i i get that i can't trust the virus but if somebody's in the
00:23:01.920
business of of essentially having enough control over your phone that they can see if you have a virus
00:23:09.120
wouldn't they be the perfect carrier for a virus but so i'm not making any accusations about any specific
00:23:16.480
companies i'm just saying if you let somebody have full access to your device to check if somebody else
00:23:23.360
has full access to your device i feel like you might be trading one problem for another so i don't know
00:23:33.680
i guess i don't have any trust for virus scanning companies
00:23:38.000
but there's also a report that china says that the telecoms in the u.s all got hacked
00:23:49.600
well not all of them but at&t verizon and others and that the hackers chinese hackers allegedly got into
00:23:58.080
live calls call records and even top secret systems in dc and the government is advising if you want to be
00:24:05.680
safe you should use uh encrypted apps like signal and whatsapp now here's one of those stories if
00:24:12.080
you were a casual consumer of news that would all make sense wouldn't it like oh let's see if my
00:24:19.360
regular phone might be corrupted by hackers i could just use an encrypted app oh and the government
00:24:27.040
recommends it well that's a good idea that's if you didn't know that the government almost certainly
00:24:33.280
has a back door to those encrypted apps so you'd be basically giving away
00:24:40.880
i don't know but there's no way you're not going to be hacked if the government doesn't have you
00:24:47.440
already the chinese hackers will get you the phone company themselves will have insiders you just have
00:24:53.600
to assume that everything you write and everything you've ever said is discoverable
00:24:59.760
and i don't know how many times i'll need to tell you that probably until you get caught on your own
00:25:06.560
but there's no there's no such thing as privacy um this is one of those things i predicted years ago
00:25:15.920
so years ago i predicted that fighting over whether you could you know whether we'd protect our privacy
00:25:21.920
it's worth the fight but you weren't going to win the the the direction of technology pretty much
00:25:31.040
guarantees a complete loss of privacy and i'm not saying it should but we will be we will be seduced by
00:25:40.960
you know various features of technology you know we're most of us are going to have a robot
00:25:46.640
in our homes do you know do you know what loss of privacy you're going to have when you have a robot
00:25:53.920
in your house listening to every conversation it knows who you're having sex with because it sees
00:26:01.200
you come and go we're about to give up whatever's left of your privacy by having a little recording device
00:26:10.960
following you around i mean it's not bad enough i've got a i've got a recording device right behind me
00:26:16.080
and one in my hand they're already able to record anything that some hacker wants them to record
00:26:23.840
um but if the robot is actually following me from room to room
00:26:30.480
good luck with your privacy all right um steven miller advisor to trump
00:26:38.480
um he was outlining uh trump's first hundred days and he says it's going to be a new golden age
00:26:50.240
i believe i i started predicting the golden age in 2017 got derailed by at least four years
00:26:58.560
um but maybe we're there maybe the golden age is uh kicking off and one of the things that steven
00:27:05.760
miller points out is what he calls a rapid total complete deregulation of american energy exploration
00:27:14.000
is that accurate do do we really want a rapid total and complete deregulation
00:27:22.720
i don't know enough about that domain to know if that makes sense because my
00:27:26.720
my my common sense tells me there must be some regulation that makes sense is there are there
00:27:35.760
literally literally is there no regulation there's not even one in this entire domain of energy
00:27:43.360
exploration there's not one thing that keeps you safe without a big cost that's not worth it
00:27:49.520
i don't know i think it's hyperbole but but maybe not that this is one where i can't tell
00:28:00.160
is it hyperbole to say that it's going to be complete deregulation or is it maybe just federal deregulation
00:28:08.560
and there might be some state regulations i don't know it sounds good but i've got questions about it
00:28:15.280
but uh there's a funny thing happening here with uh common sense and
00:28:28.240
let me just skip ahead so uh jeff bezos of amazon he was asked to some event about trump 2.0 and he
00:28:37.120
said he's very optimistic because there are too many regulations and listen to what he says this is jeff
00:28:43.280
bezos he says quote i'm actually very optimistic this time around meaning trump's second term
00:28:49.440
he seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation and from my point of view if i can help
00:28:54.800
him do that i'm going to help him because we do have too many regulations i think he was talking about
00:29:01.200
elon musk as well as trump um if you look at the national debt blah blah blah the only way we can
00:29:08.160
get out of it is by growing out of it and the only way we're going to do that is by slashing
00:29:12.480
regulations now what part of that was anything but common sense that was just common sense right and
00:29:25.200
i don't see republican and democrat anymore yeah those those categories they seem to be dissolving
00:29:35.360
i mean i was watching another clip from bill maher and bill maher is very cleanly in the common
00:29:41.360
sense category and um he was talking to his guests i'm not sure when this was filmed but i just saw the
00:29:48.640
clip today and he was saying that this country does need a big disruption so he's actually you know so
00:29:56.080
bill maher one of the biggest critics of trump ever has said he's not predicting success but he's not going
00:30:04.560
to criticize in advance because the country needs basically a slap you know the colonoscopy and a
00:30:10.640
slap in the face i think he said and so so that's a completely common sense point of view because a
00:30:20.800
reasonable person can say we have to grow faster to get out of our debt a reasonable person would say we
00:30:26.560
need something kind of more dramatic change than we've had before these are all just perfectly sensible
00:30:33.280
sensible points of view and none of this is republican is it i mean you can't really say that democrats
00:30:41.440
love over regulation that that's not really a thing so something just wonderful is happening
00:30:50.800
about uh people you'd expect to be on the other team saying wait a second wait a second are you just
00:30:56.640
doing common sense over there because i can sign up for common sense i can't sign up for your party
00:31:02.480
but all those things look smart why can't we do the things that make sense so big uh big props to
00:31:12.000
jeff bezos and uh bill maher in this context i'll have other things i might want to complain about but
00:31:19.200
in this context bill maher is definitely on the side of the patriots i would say so
00:31:26.800
good to have him good to have him on board not completely he'll be he'll still be a trump critic
00:31:35.520
but he's not abandoning common sense to get there um
00:31:42.480
let me do a clarification about something i said about the cash patel um nomination
00:31:48.880
so i mentioned on x and then people jumped all over me because i think they misinterpreted what i
00:31:57.440
meant on x but on x you can't give as much context so if they didn't hear me talk about it they probably
00:32:04.000
didn't have a uh good idea what i was up about so according to the vigilant fox which is one of the
00:32:15.200
accounts i like to follow on x and the vigilant fox is completely right-leaning bias right so they're
00:32:23.680
completely right leaning but they they referenced uh media ites list of cash patels what they would
00:32:34.400
call an enemies list people he thinks need to be dealt with either by their security clearance being
00:32:39.840
taken away or there might be some legal issues so some people went after me and said oh you believe
00:32:48.800
this bad mediaite source well no but i'm pretty sure that it's agreed on by both sides so if mediaite
00:32:59.280
were the only one publishing an enemies list and nobody else did and nobody else thought there was
00:33:04.400
an enemies list then i'm saying i don't even think there is one sounds like fake news but the vigilant fox
00:33:11.280
seems to think that this list is reasonably close to reality somebody said that cash has a book
00:33:18.960
which lists people and maybe maybe a more complete argument for why they would be targeted but let me
00:33:26.080
clarify i'm not saying that there shouldn't be a target list i'm saying that publishing it is a really
00:33:35.520
bad idea because if you publish a target list then you immediately fall into the stalin model
00:33:44.080
of naming the person before the crime now the fact that mediaite can turn it into just a list of targets
00:33:53.600
and they can strip out the alleged crimes puts you in a real dangerous place especially if you make
00:34:00.320
the mistake of repeating their list without the list of allegations against them now if it had been always
00:34:08.400
the person plus the allegation then i would say i don't love this but at least you're at least you're
00:34:15.360
making sure that we see the alleged crime first if you show me the person first separated from the crime
00:34:23.040
even if your enemy is the one who made the list you're in a disadvantaged situation
00:34:27.760
but it gets worse why would you ever telegraph to your let's call them enemies what your plan is
00:34:39.680
so as of yesterday we find out that there's conversation about preemptive pardoning of
00:34:47.200
people that might be targeted by cash patel so it might include fauci and liz cheney and adam schiff
00:34:54.400
so in other words having a list of what you're of who you're going to go after is also the list of pardons
00:35:02.960
so at the at the last day biden could say all right every single person who's on this cash patel
00:35:09.360
target list you're all pardoned and you know what i would say
00:35:14.160
nothing because if you make it this easy for the other side to pardon everybody that you want to go
00:35:26.000
after i mean you're kind of bringing this on yourself i would be happy just to have them out of
00:35:32.800
and of public office and you know not having influence but if you publish their names first
00:35:38.400
and then that causes them all to get preemptive pardons i'm not even going to bitch about it
00:35:43.680
because you just walk right into that it's like just you set your own trap and then you
00:35:48.240
then you triggered your own trap you trapped yourself so just to be clear i'm not defending
00:35:55.840
any of the people who are on the list because there there's some pretty sketchy behavior on that list
00:36:01.360
i'm just saying that that approaching it as a list of enemies even if you've got really good arguments
00:36:09.920
and there are there are good arguments it's not a good strategy it's just a bad strategy it's a bad
00:36:16.400
look and it i think it's bad for the supporters because it makes you look like you're you're supporting
00:36:23.520
stalin basically i'll give you the list of people and we'll figure out later what they did because we don't
00:36:28.160
like them so now i'm not saying that further clarification i'm not saying that cash would
00:36:38.400
make up crimes i'm not saying that i'm saying that the way that it's presented makes it easy to attack
00:36:46.720
as if he is doing that so don't do that but it's too late it's already done
00:36:51.920
but uh let's see speaking of cash he also sent out a legal notice um this is according to the george
00:37:04.480
account on x yeah so cash patel his lawyers sent out a legal notice to mike pence's advisor
00:37:11.760
somebody named olivia troya because she was on a on the joy reed show recently and she said some
00:37:18.800
things about cash patel that i guess cash and his lawyers think are are uh complete fabrications
00:37:27.280
and asking him to take him back so she said cash patel is a delusional liar and he lied about
00:37:33.360
intelligence and he made made things up and uh and she had to check his work and blah blah blah so
00:37:40.880
patel's lawyers are threatening litigation and uh here's the thing that i think is the most
00:37:49.840
interesting part about this story mike pence has advisors mike pence has advisors
00:38:00.800
um let's check their work let's see mike pence is the only person in politics
00:38:08.800
who rose to the level of vice president but at the moment would not be able to get any job in
00:38:13.760
politics am i right mike pence would not be able to get any job in politics so so far the advisor is not
00:38:23.600
killing it but politics is not the only game at least he could you know mike pence could get a job
00:38:31.840
working for the news oh no he probably can't because the news on the right or right leaning
00:38:39.360
networks wouldn't want to have anything to do with them and left leaning networks wouldn't want to have
00:38:44.080
anything to do with them so let's see mike pence has advisors and where he's ended up at the result of
00:38:50.640
this advice is can't get a job in any domain in which he's qualified
00:38:58.560
she's advised him into complete irrelevance if not bankruptcy
00:39:04.160
now i shouldn't be laughing at him because i don't think he deserves that but mike pence has advisors
00:39:18.960
um according to an ap poll uh jd vance was right female cat owners voted for harris 59
00:39:25.760
percent uh and trump 40 but trump i think trump won all the other pet owners but the only pet owners he
00:39:35.600
lost were female cat owners jd vance totally called it
00:39:46.720
female cat owners all right that was exactly what it looked like um
00:39:54.080
washington examiner says that uh the public 68 of the public is in favor of january 6 prisoner pardons
00:40:03.600
uh in a case-by-case basis so people are way less interested in a you know broad general pardon
00:40:13.440
but they say in a case-by-case basis in my opinion that's a good first opinion
00:40:20.240
i say that because it was my first opinion too my first opinion was yeah you have to look at each one
00:40:25.920
individually there are 1500 of them did did any of you sort of lose count of how many people
00:40:34.560
had been rounded up for being republicans there are 1500 people in jail for january 6
00:40:42.320
how long would it take to look individually at all 1500
00:40:47.200
that's all i need to know if it's going to take you a year to figure out which of them individually
00:40:56.240
should be released you got to release them all now you have to do them all now if if waiting to look
00:41:03.360
at them individually is going to take months or years i can't put up with that i i can't put up with
00:41:09.360
basically people i consider 100 innocent you know of the 1500 at least a thousand didn't do anything
00:41:16.960
but show up and express their opinion in my opinion so you're going to let a thousand people rot in jail
00:41:23.520
for another few months so you can look individually at those other ones nope not good enough that is not
00:41:29.840
good enough you want a better right you want a better argument the better argument is that none of those
00:41:35.760
bad people the ones that you might look at individually and say oh this one was actually
00:41:40.160
violent none of that would have happened if the election had not been obviously looking rigged
00:41:48.960
we have the ability to do elections that don't look rigged and i'm only talking about the appearance
00:41:54.640
because i don't know you know i don't i don't have facts that would justify claiming certainty of it
00:42:00.320
being rigged i am certain that it looked rigged and i'm certain that we have the ability and the
00:42:06.080
knowledge of how to do it in election that the entire republic would say oh that looked fair we do
00:42:11.840
know how to do that and we choose not to if we do know how to do it and we choose not to and people
00:42:18.720
react to that what's the base cause of the problem the base cause of the problem is not the protesters
00:42:25.200
the base cause the problem is that we intentionally ran an election which should have created violence
00:42:33.120
i'm not in favor of violence i don't promote it so listen to the sentence again on paper
00:42:40.800
that election should have created violence on paper you should have been able to predict it
00:42:46.320
if you had known that the election was going to go that weird way where suddenly there were a whole
00:42:50.640
bunch of votes at the end that flipped the election if you had known that in advance
00:42:56.960
you would have also known that there was going to be violence or the odds of it were going to be
00:43:01.360
pretty high so whoever designs our elections has to take some responsibility for creating a system that had a
00:43:10.400
very high likelihood of generating violence secondly if you know that that's a possibility and there was
00:43:17.920
lots of talk about it before january 6th if you if the democrat leadership failed to properly protect
00:43:24.400
the place that is also a base problem the the protesters actually did the illegal acts are legally
00:43:35.120
it's their legal responsibility so i'm making i'm making a distinction between the people who are
00:43:41.760
legally responsible for their actions which is only the people who did them
00:43:45.200
right so from a legal perspective the people who did the violence it's just their fault
00:43:51.360
violence yeah yeah you have to you can't design a legal system where you're blaming society and you
00:43:57.680
know what happened before it's the person who actually did the act who's going to go to jail or not go to jail
00:44:03.520
but this is bigger than just the individual criminal acts it's bigger because the election is bigger than
00:44:11.520
an individual act and the integrity of the country and justice in general and the thousand people who
00:44:18.880
will rot in jail for an extra month or two or whatever and if they have to figure them out individually so
00:44:25.120
given that in my opinion the base problem was the design of the election system to be non-credible
00:44:31.760
followed by a very non-credible outcome according to you know 40 of the country probably um followed by
00:44:42.640
a complete failure to protect the public by not having the right amount of security where you know you
00:44:48.320
needed it now i can still say that the individuals who did the crime broke the law and that the law was
00:44:57.120
the right thing that to deal with it but at this point given that maybe a thousand people that i
00:45:03.040
would not consider criminals at all have been lumped in into that group you got to pardon them all so it's
00:45:12.080
there are too many innocent people in the story for the guilty people in the story to continue to ruin
00:45:19.360
the lives of the innocent people in the story the innocent has to be bigger than guilty in our world so
00:45:27.280
i think you've got at least three arguments for doing all of them right away and i think the
00:45:32.320
country would get over it you know there would be a huge outcry and it would be a headline for two weeks
00:45:38.160
and and the democrats would complain and they'd do stories about oh this one hurt somebody in
00:45:44.560
particular so why'd they do this one but we wouldn't care that much we would definitely get over it
00:45:51.360
the country would move on we don't really we don't want to linger on that like nobody's gonna be harping
00:45:58.960
on it two years from now so i think it's a slam dunk i think you do them all i'd be very disappointed
00:46:06.720
if they did case by case but it makes sense to say case by case until you actually make the decision
00:46:26.560
well uh 100 good for you before one innocent person yeah i'm just looking at your comments and agreeing
00:46:37.040
all right ladies and gentlemen um before we go i'd like to show you two comics uh they're two dilbert
00:46:43.440
comics one from 10 years ago on the same date calendar date and one from today and i want you to judge if
00:46:53.360
i've lost a step so i want you to see am i as funny as i was 10 years ago when you know dilbert was closer
00:47:01.680
to his peak right have i lost anything so here will be the uh two the two comics let's see so here's from
00:47:12.640
dilbert reborn now these normally would not be available to the general public these are only for subscribers on
00:47:19.360
x or subscribers on locals um but here uh dogbert's working the uh tech support and he's a call and
00:47:27.440
says uh what kind of uh genital add-ons do you sell for robots this is part of a continuing series
00:47:33.840
where dogbert has started a startup where he's he's selling uh genital add-ons for your
00:47:41.120
for your robot so what kind of genital add-ons do you sell for robots and dogbert says
00:47:47.600
our most popular model is called the lebron but for half the price you might be interested in
00:47:53.760
our starter set we call the olbermann and the person on the phone says will the robot be happy
00:48:00.960
either way and dogbert says we see a lot of sobbing with the olbermann all right so that's that's the one
00:48:08.000
for today now if i can properly operate this i'll show you the calendar one from so this is a digital
00:48:20.320
calendar this is this is not related um this is not related to the physical calendar that's coming out
00:48:29.120
for 2025 it's just a digital thing i do for subscribers so here bob the dinosaur
00:48:37.760
is talking to dilbert and bob the dinosaur says ha ha i am now the coolest member of the household
00:48:43.600
because i have a smart watch hello watch what time is it and the watch says uh this is the uh
00:48:50.480
anthropocene epoch and bob the dinosaur says wow that carbon dates me all right so that was 10 years ago
00:49:14.080
well you can decide that i just thought i'd send you that one uh one of the one of the things i do track
00:49:20.400
one of the reasons that i do the 10 years ago is i do track to see if i've lost it
00:49:25.920
like can i still be funny now i have an advantage with the dilbert reborn comic because i can be a
00:49:31.520
little naughtier and that's just it's way easier to write if you can be a little bit naughty um so
00:49:39.040
if you're wondering what the physical dilbert calendar which is available only at the link at
00:49:47.440
dilbert.com it's not available at amazon it's not available in stores only online at the link at
00:49:54.240
dilbert.com but it has the uh the classic comics ones that have been published before on the front
00:50:02.320
of each page but on the back has these slightly naughtier comics like the one i just read so twice
00:50:10.160
as many comics um than any prior year and made in america the calendar will be made in america is made
00:50:19.680
in america for the first time that was something i just had to do all right i'm going to say uh
00:50:26.720
say a few words to the local subscribers privately and uh thanks for joining on youtube and rumble
00:50:34.720
and x i'll see you see you on the internet uh locals i'm coming at you we're going to be private in 30
