Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2689 CWSA 12⧸14⧸24

00:00:00.240 It's looking good.

00:00:04.740 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:14.120 While it lasts, if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even

00:00:20.180 understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or

00:00:26.100 a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it

00:00:32.180 with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:36.160 of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called

00:00:38.980 the simultaneous sip, and it happens.

00:00:41.380 Now, go.

00:00:48.880 That's just the best.

00:00:52.120 Well, here's my update.

00:00:53.900 All right, the San Francisco area has a very unusual warning, the warning of tornadoes.

00:01:02.000 Now, as far as I know, I've lived here all my life in the Bay Area.

00:01:05.820 I don't think there's ever been a tornado watch for San Francisco.

00:01:10.940 Now, I'm about an hour outside of San Francisco, and early this morning, it might have been

00:01:17.860 might have been 5 a.m.-ish.

00:01:21.500 There was a sound outside my house that sounded like a starship was landing on my lawn.

00:01:31.200 And I said, is that just the rain?

00:01:33.520 Because we're having, you know, wind and rain situation here.

00:01:36.460 But I'd never heard anything like it.

00:01:40.100 It sounded like this huge roar, like there was an airplane directly over my house, but

00:01:45.660 closer than one had ever been.

00:01:47.800 And then it stopped after maybe 30 seconds.

00:01:53.700 And then several minutes later, there was another one that was the same.

00:01:57.620 And I don't know what they are.

00:02:01.820 However, I went to perplexity and I asked it, what does a tornado sound like?

00:02:09.560 And they said, if you're near a tornado, it sounds like a freight train.

00:02:13.860 That's exactly what it sounded like.

00:02:16.240 It sounded like I was standing next to a freight train in my yard.

00:02:20.880 So I'm not positive.

00:02:22.520 And I got a message from somebody in San Jose who would be about an hour from me.

00:02:29.560 So that'd be an hour south of me, southwest.

00:02:32.560 An hour away, somebody said they felt they heard the same thing.

00:02:38.040 An hour away.

00:02:40.800 What was so loud that San Jose and where I live, an hour away, could hear something like a freight train?

00:02:49.980 I don't know what that was, but I'm guessing tornadoes or little twisters or something.

00:02:57.300 So there might have been a tornado somewhere in my neighborhood just an hour ago.

00:03:01.800 I don't know.

00:03:02.800 Nothing happened at my house that I know of.

00:03:05.780 All right.

00:03:07.780 Maybe we'll find out.

00:03:09.500 Would you be surprised to know that there are major breakthroughs in battery technology?

00:03:13.500 No, really.

00:03:14.840 Every day, I tell you new ones.

00:03:16.380 According to the brighter side of the news, NASA has some big breakthrough.

00:03:21.580 They've got a solid-state sulfur-selenium battery that has the potential to revolutionize the aviation industry.

00:03:29.080 Well, there you go.

00:03:31.900 I'm pretty sure that these drones are electric-powered, but we'll talk about that later.

00:03:38.500 So NASA has a big battery breakthrough that will be good for aircraft.

00:03:43.920 Meanwhile, according to NoRidge, there's a zinc-based battery that's being developed.

00:03:53.240 Case Western Reserve University made a breakthrough.

00:03:56.600 Now, what would be special about a zinc-based battery is that it could be made with all normal, easy-to-find minerals.

00:04:06.380 So you wouldn't...

00:04:07.020 Minerals?

00:04:08.380 Is that the right word?

00:04:09.320 But you wouldn't need lithium, and you wouldn't need the hard-to-find stuff.

00:04:13.400 So those are just two.

00:04:14.840 I think there was a third one today.

00:04:16.800 Now, remember, the reason I tell you about this is not that these specific breakthroughs are important.

00:04:22.020 What's important to know is that this whole domain of battery storage is going to go crazy.

00:04:28.960 I mean, if any of these breakthroughs work, you're doubling, tripling, quadrupling your performance of your batteries.

00:04:37.820 That changes everything.

00:04:39.320 It doesn't just give you a little extra mileage in your electric car.

00:04:44.120 It allows you to power your house without being connected to the grid, create all kinds of aircraft that can fly with electricity alone.

00:04:53.540 And it's a big deal.

00:04:55.560 It would be a civilization-changing shift, and there's no way it's going to not happen.

00:05:02.160 Meanwhile, according to NDTV, there's a new study that said there might be so much hydrogen trapped under the ground that it could end the fossil fuel era.

00:05:17.560 In other words, there's 26 times more of the hydrogen in the underground than there is known oil reserves.

00:05:27.740 There's only one problem.

00:05:30.080 So we've got 26 times more of this energy source than the one we use.

00:05:36.800 Problem is, we don't know where it is.

00:05:39.560 It's somewhere trapped in the planet.

00:05:41.780 Now, how do they know how much there is if they don't know where it is?

00:05:51.040 Do you trust this?

00:05:53.100 I'm going to say, on the surface, I do not trust the study that says, we know how much hydrogen is underground, we just don't know where it is.

00:06:02.580 No, thank you.

00:06:04.780 Nope, nope, not good enough.

00:06:06.800 According to the Hill, small business optimism jumped in November, surpassing a 50-year average for the first time, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:16.400 Now, if you do not follow economics, there are some numbers that are far more important than others.

00:06:23.760 And, for example, the stock market is a little bit interesting, but it's not telling you too much.

00:06:30.580 You know, because there are a lot of animal instincts and some specific companies might be driving the averages and all that.

00:06:38.900 But when you see the small business optimism up to a high, historical high, that's meaningful.

00:06:47.760 That's really good news, similar to employment.

00:06:52.460 You know, if you have good unemployment numbers, you're usually in good shape.

00:06:57.680 At least you're not going to, you know, be destroyed as a country.

00:07:01.000 You'll be able to get through it as long as the employment numbers are good.

00:07:04.380 So that's good.

00:07:05.660 Another great news.

00:07:10.140 Here's another big one.

00:07:11.340 According to News Nation, Texas is looking at a bill, legislation, that would allow residents to pay their Texas taxes in Bitcoin.

00:07:21.360 So you could pay your taxes in Bitcoin if this got passed.

00:07:27.500 Now, I don't know if it'll get passed, but here's what you need to know about that.

00:07:32.520 If you're wondering, hey, Bitcoin is not backed by anything, so I'm afraid to own it.

00:07:40.660 Bitcoin, if it becomes a way that you can pay your taxes, let's say federal taxes more important than state taxes.

00:07:48.480 But if the federal government, and I think Trump might actually do this, Trump might make this change.

00:07:55.060 If you could pay your federal taxes in Bitcoin, which is not on the table, but I think it might be, then you don't have to worry about Bitcoin becoming useless.

00:08:06.840 Because it will have something you could buy that basically every person wants to buy, which is pay off their taxes.

00:08:13.080 So this sounds like a little technical thing.

00:08:16.520 It's like, oh, yeah, Texas might let you pay in Bitcoin.

00:08:20.320 No, it's actually gigantic.

00:08:23.460 It's like a civilization-altering trend.

00:08:27.260 Not for just the state.

00:08:28.820 If it's only Texas, it's no big deal.

00:08:30.980 But if the federal government followed suit, and other states did, Bitcoin's here to stay.

00:08:37.280 And the people who have invested in it probably would be a lot happier if they heard that happen.

00:08:43.080 Anyway, J.D. Vance invited Daniel Penny, the subway hero, I call him, to the Army-Navy game with him and Trump.

00:08:54.420 So how much do I love this?

00:08:57.280 A lot.

00:08:58.120 This is exactly what I want my president to do.

00:09:02.860 I want my president to go to a football game, especially given that it's a military nature of the game, Army-Navy, with a Marine vet who was cleared in his case.

00:09:17.240 That's exactly what I want.

00:09:18.760 I don't want Daniel Penny just to break even.

00:09:21.300 I want Daniel Penny to come out ahead.

00:09:25.900 That's what this is.

00:09:27.900 This is somebody who stepped in to help at great personal expense and risk.

00:09:34.700 You know, you didn't know about the expense part, but lawyers are not cheap.

00:09:39.440 It's not good enough if we only rehabilitate him back to where he was.

00:09:44.420 That's not good enough.

00:09:45.280 Now, it's very important to me that he comes out ahead and having the president of the United States say you want to go to a basketball game, that's a start.

00:09:57.380 But remember, he's still getting sued civilly by maybe the father or somebody.

00:10:03.240 So he's going to have massive bills, and so we better look at helping funding him.

00:10:11.180 I think there's one of those online funding things for funding Daniel Penny.

00:10:15.700 You can probably find it if you Google it, but make sure you don't get a fake.

00:10:19.380 There's probably some fakes.

00:10:22.940 So that's cool.

00:10:26.900 You want to talk about drones?

00:10:31.220 Half of you are sick of drones.

00:10:33.240 And half of you think it's the most fun thing happening.

00:10:36.700 I happen to be in the category of people who think it's the most fun thing happening.

00:10:41.860 Because it just makes you so curious what's going on.

00:10:45.440 So I've got a lot to say about it, but I'm going to answer some questions for sure.

00:10:50.720 All right.

00:10:50.960 So you're going to get some answers today that I'm quite confident about.

00:10:55.680 That maybe moves it a little bit forward.

00:10:58.540 Okay.

00:10:58.680 So here's where we – I'll give you – there's a bunch of news on this topic.

00:11:06.460 So Trump said the Mystery Jones sightings are all over the country.

00:11:11.180 He said this on a post on True Social.

00:11:13.800 Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge?

00:11:16.680 I don't think so.

00:11:18.020 All right.

00:11:18.180 So Trump believes that the government knows what they are because, duh, of course the government knows what they are.

00:11:26.320 And he says, let the public know and now otherwise shoot them down.

00:11:31.300 Now, there's no chance they're going to be shot down by our government because they belong to our government.

00:11:38.060 I think that part – that part we know.

00:11:41.140 It's not aliens.

00:11:42.960 It's not another country.

00:11:45.120 It's definitely us.

00:11:47.260 So I'm willing to say that – I'm willing to say that with 100% certainty for the first time.

00:11:53.780 100% certainty.

00:11:54.740 No doubt about it, it's us and presumably our military, but I would include, you know, if it's a CIA testing something, to me that's still military, essentially.

00:12:09.540 So Alex Jones did a video with a warning.

00:12:14.080 I'm not sure I fully understand Alex Jones' point, but the essence of it is that it might be the drones are part of an op that is setting up Trump for some kind of emergency power takeover situation.

00:12:31.580 So I don't know.

00:12:32.740 I don't know how to connect the dots from the drones to somebody trying to take – create a situation to take power from Trump.

00:12:39.480 That would only make sense if we were convinced the drones were not on our side.

00:12:46.500 If we know the drones are on our side, it's not going to really cause any kind of panic.

00:12:52.600 And I'm here to tell you the drones are on our side.

00:12:58.240 I'll give you my complete certainty of that, and I'll tell you more in a minute, but complete certainty.

00:13:06.620 All right.

00:13:07.240 So News Nation had one of their reporters, Rich McHugh, and I saw Megyn Kelly noted that he's highly credible because the things he says don't sound highly credible.

00:13:26.780 If you just heard this and you didn't know that he's actually a serious reporter and Megyn Kelly tells you, yeah, you can believe him.

00:13:33.820 He said this.

00:13:36.120 He went to New Jersey, admitted that he wasn't really quite a believer that anything weird was going on, probably thought like a lot of you.

00:13:44.860 It's just commercial airlines or regular drones, and people are imagining what they're seeing.

00:13:50.440 But he says he gets there to New Jersey, I guess it was, and it blew his mind.

00:13:59.360 There were 40 to 50 of these drones, 40 to 50 of them that were sort of simultaneously flying around, 40 to 50.

00:14:09.600 And he said that they don't have a heat signature, so the government can't seem to identify them by heat because they seem designed that you can't get a heat signature.

00:14:22.760 Now, that would suggest, if this is true, and I'm not sure it is true, that they have no heat signature, but if it's true, it would suggest military, right?

00:14:36.360 You would assume it's a military operation if it's built to that kind of specifications.

00:14:42.660 He said they had their fixed wing devices, and they're about eight feet.

00:14:50.720 He says the entire view of the New Jersey drones has changed since he witnessed them flying from the ocean.

00:14:57.060 So there does seem to be continued reports that the drones somehow are coming from some ocean location.

00:15:04.280 Now, I've heard some people in some videos suggest that they were coming out of the ocean.

00:15:11.740 I highly doubt they're coming out of the ocean, but maybe.

00:15:16.440 I mean, if we've developed a submarine that can launch drones, maybe.

00:15:21.120 I just highly, highly doubt it.

00:15:23.240 What I think is happening is that the drones maybe go beyond the horizon, because remember, the Earth is round.

00:15:29.880 They go beyond your horizon and then just land on whatever military ship launched them, and then they turn off the lights.

00:15:38.520 So to you, it looks like they went in the ocean, because it's too far for you to see that they landed on a ship.

00:15:44.120 So I think the reports of them coming from the ocean and going back into the ocean, probably all fake.

00:15:51.700 I think they're just landing on a ship that's far away.

00:15:54.660 That's my guess.

00:15:55.780 And our military would be our military.

00:15:59.880 So let's see.

00:16:02.280 So they're lower than normal, and they're smaller than a regular plane.

00:16:09.080 And it was very clear last night, and reportedly, I'll tell you more about that, you can see everything clearly.

00:16:17.180 So it was a really clear night.

00:16:18.540 So Rich said, quote, the experience I had last night, however, changed the way I feel about the story completely.

00:16:30.720 He said, what I saw was more sophisticated than I ever imagined.

00:16:35.420 We've been looking for the past hour.

00:16:37.180 I think we've seen about 40 or 50 of these drones.

00:16:40.740 Now, here's where I get to do some fun reporting.

00:16:47.300 I was doing a live stream last night, a private one on Locals.

00:16:51.240 And one of our most famous members on the Locals community, those are people who subscribe just to see my content privately, is Erica.

00:17:03.640 And Erica lives in New Jersey.

00:17:06.600 And, of course, we all kept saying, Erica, why don't you take your phone outside and take some pictures?

00:17:12.020 And last night, Erica was doing just that.

00:17:16.540 So we got to hear from somebody we know to be a real person, and we know to be a straight shooter.

00:17:25.780 So we know that whatever she was saying is definitely true, right, because it's just somebody we know and trust.

00:17:33.880 So Erica takes her phone out, and you can see I reposted some of the photos in my stream.

00:17:40.800 So if you can't find Erica directly, just go to mine, Scott Adams says, and you'll see her ex-account as well.

00:17:50.820 But I reposted it.

00:17:52.740 And I saw some videos and some photos.

00:17:58.420 So let me tell you what I saw.

00:18:01.460 Erica's description, if I have it right, is that they were the same as Rich McHugh, that they were all over the place.

00:18:08.900 They were really obviously everywhere, every time you went outside at night, it seems, and that they were flying over the residential areas.

00:18:17.560 One of the videos I saw privately, you can see it start as just a light in the distance.

00:18:23.500 And this particular one went directly over the home of the person who was videoing it from the time it was just a light.

00:18:31.240 So you can see it as clearly, almost as the people standing on the ground.

00:18:38.220 So here's what I can tell you based on Erica's report and some of the pictures I saw.

00:18:45.640 Number one, there's a sound to them that's not common aviation sound.

00:18:51.360 Now, of course, we can all be influenced by, you know, persuasion.

00:18:57.880 We can talk ourselves into hearing things we're not hearing and stuff.

00:19:01.020 But Erica is very reliable and says that the sound doesn't match sort of normal aviation sound.

00:19:08.860 They're flying low.

00:19:10.660 They're not up where regular airplanes are.

00:19:12.880 And they definitely are going over the residential areas commonly.

00:19:19.800 And you can see them all over the place every night.

00:19:23.460 Now, I watched as the little dot of light, which from a distance I would have called an orb.

00:19:32.020 You've seen the UFO pictures.

00:19:34.240 They're just a glowing orb.

00:19:35.860 Well, these look like glowing orbs just because they must have like a light on the front that's overwhelming the other lights, I guess.

00:19:44.780 Because for a very long time, it looks like just a tiny light that's becoming a larger light.

00:19:50.840 So it can get pretty close to you and still just look like an orb.

00:19:55.600 So my first finding is that you can imagine that at least some of the things people thought were orbs might have been an airplane or one of these drones or something.

00:20:09.800 I don't think all of the orbs fell into the pattern that they could have been this.

00:20:14.580 But maybe some of them.

00:20:15.940 So then the craft gets so close to the person in New Jersey who was videoing it that you could kind of see that it was a fixed wing craft.

00:20:29.160 I wouldn't be surprised if it was, you know, this eight or ten feet wide.

00:20:33.920 And loud.

00:20:36.700 And probably.

00:20:39.700 Oh, and the other thing is that, according to Erica, they were hovering for long periods of time.

00:20:46.240 Out at sea.

00:20:47.640 So when they came over the residential area, they weren't doing so much hovering.

00:20:51.240 They were just going somewhere.

00:20:52.760 But when they're out at sea, they seem to be hovering for as many for as much as 15 minutes.

00:20:58.000 You know, just in place.

00:21:00.360 Now, you may have seen somebody online that's getting passed around said, oh, this is one of the military's vertical takeoff and landing drones.

00:21:12.060 And sure enough, the military, you can find it easily.

00:21:17.360 The military has a bunch of drones that are vertical takeoff and landing, meaning that they can hover, but they can also fly like a plane and they have fixed wings.

00:21:27.620 So they're not drone drones.

00:21:30.120 They're they're probably vertical takeoff and landing, but smaller.

00:21:34.640 So there might be drones, meaning that they might be unmanned.

00:21:38.540 But here's the next thing I would like to add to the conversation.

00:21:41.320 They were big enough that they could have been manned.

00:21:46.400 I don't know where we're getting the idea that they're unmanned because nobody has a clear shot of a cockpit.

00:21:52.460 Does anybody have a clear enough picture from above it that you could say for sure they're not manned?

00:21:58.700 Like every one of them, not manned.

00:22:00.500 They're big enough.

00:22:02.280 They're big enough that they could be manned.

00:22:04.860 But the drones that were mentioned, the ones that do vertical takeoff and landing,

00:22:11.020 they were specifically for supplying things or picking up things from land and then moving it to a ship at sea and vice versa.

00:22:21.180 So they were for quick transport of heavy stuff, but not super heavy stuff.

00:22:27.900 It can't take a tank from from the water to the sea.

00:22:34.500 Now, New Jersey has military bases on land.

00:22:40.580 And so if you were going to test this kind of technology, you would put your boat in the ocean

00:22:45.400 and you would have many flights in which these devices went from your boat to a military base,

00:22:52.380 did its thing and then went back.

00:22:57.080 So probably that.

00:22:59.540 So I would say that the weight of reporting from citizens and reporters who are not part of the government

00:23:08.540 seems to clearly indicate the following.

00:23:12.420 Number one, there's no UFO activity that anybody can find.

00:23:16.700 So you can rule out UFOs.

00:23:19.440 Your government told you that they're not foreign actors.

00:23:24.760 They know that they're not they're not guessing about that part.

00:23:29.980 If you think they're guessing.

00:23:32.840 When they say it's not foreign adversaries, they're not guessing.

00:23:37.240 They absolutely know it's not.

00:23:39.580 So I wouldn't worry about it.

00:23:41.260 Don't worry about it, at least in terms of a foreign adversary.

00:23:44.280 You might still worry about it for different reasons.

00:23:47.900 You know, Alex Jones says you should worry about it.

00:23:50.100 And I don't know about that.

00:23:51.080 So I'm just saying that if you don't know what it is, you should.

00:23:56.460 You know, let's make sure we find out.

00:23:58.880 Next, the fact that there's no military presence that we can see that's trying very hard to intercept them

00:24:06.120 when they're all over the place is really all the confirmation you need to know

00:24:12.120 to know that our military knows what they are because they're not looking for them.

00:24:17.120 And they're really, really, really easy to find, like really easy to find.

00:24:22.640 Like you can just walk outside.

00:24:24.920 There's one.

00:24:25.780 There's another one.

00:24:27.000 There's another one.

00:24:28.460 Now, to be fair.

00:24:30.680 Some of them are.

00:24:33.560 Spottings of regular airplanes.

00:24:36.560 How do I know that that's possible?

00:24:39.740 Well, during the live stream in which the New Jersey ones were being filmed and talked about,

00:24:46.360 I went outside in my own house, went out in the balcony at night.

00:24:51.080 And sure enough, there was a drone.

00:24:54.420 And it was coming right at my house. 0.98

00:24:56.820 And I'm like, holy shit, they're everywhere. 0.99

00:24:59.500 What is this? 0.93

00:25:00.560 And I'm looking at this thing and I'm like, clearly, this is not an aircraft.

00:25:05.580 This is not normal aircraft.

00:25:09.140 And it's like, it's one of these balls of light.

00:25:11.960 And it's coming right at my house.

00:25:14.240 It gets closer and closer and closer.

00:25:16.320 And then finally, I can sort of see its outline. 0.99

00:25:18.780 I'm like, holy shit. 0.94

00:25:22.100 It looks just like a drone. 0.98

00:25:24.720 And it's way too low.

00:25:27.040 And then it got a little closer.

00:25:29.340 And I said, oh, it's an airplane.

00:25:32.160 Anyway, I live near an airport.

00:25:36.660 I live near a small airport where there are lots of small planes.

00:25:41.060 It was just a regular plane.

00:25:43.320 Now, was I convinced beyond any doubt that I was looking at something unusual?

00:25:49.880 Yes, I was.

00:25:50.740 For a moment, I was 100% sure I was looking at some anomalous thing I'd never seen before.

00:26:02.900 Yeah, it was much higher, higher in the sky.

00:26:06.040 But you couldn't tell how high it was until it got kind of close.

00:26:09.120 So, can a normal person who is famously good at not being fooled by BS be immediately fooled by a drone?

00:26:20.640 Yes.

00:26:22.320 Yes, you can think that the normal flights are drones.

00:26:25.980 So, here's the next thing I'm sure of.

00:26:28.740 So, this next thing, I'm positive.

00:26:31.060 There are hobby drones in the area.

00:26:33.120 This is confirmed by reporting because people are bringing their own drones to look for the other things.

00:26:40.220 So, there's definitely hobby drones.

00:26:45.240 100%, some of the sightings are just regular aircraft.

00:26:50.160 I know this because pilots are having fun with it.

00:26:53.940 The pilots are looking at the video and just laughing and saying, that's just an airplane.

00:26:59.760 Have you never seen an airplane before?

00:27:03.120 So, I guarantee you, some of the spottings, probably the ones that are in other parts of the country,

00:27:09.760 are regular drones or balloons or maybe a UFO or something else.

00:27:15.480 So, the other thing I'm sure of is that it's not nationwide.

00:27:20.900 But the sightings are nationwide.

00:27:23.560 It might be in more than one place, but it's definitely not nationwide, whatever these things are.

00:27:29.200 It's just somebody testing something.

00:27:31.060 It does not seem to be transportation, as in the only point is to bring a person from one place to another.

00:27:39.560 It doesn't seem to be that.

00:27:42.160 It could be recreation, but who has 40 or 50 friends with flying cars?

00:27:49.200 So, I would rule out recreation.

00:27:53.480 I think you could keep testing and surveillance or maybe demonstrating for the purpose of deciding what to procure.

00:28:04.480 So, I think it looked more like testing, procurement, training, something like that.

00:28:11.100 That's what it felt like.

00:28:12.100 That's what it felt like.

00:29:15.700 So, Martha McCallum had John Kirby on to ask about it.

00:29:19.920 And it's a real good clip if you want to see a real good news person being lied to, to her face, knowing that he's lying to her face and not being willing to put up with it.

00:29:37.220 It's a real good, fun watch.

00:29:40.960 Because Martha wasn't having it. 1.00

00:29:45.040 Let's just say that.

00:29:46.220 I won't describe it further.

00:29:47.640 I'll just say, Martha wasn't having it. 1.00

00:29:51.000 She just wasn't having it.

00:29:52.460 And it was fun to watch.

00:29:54.000 Now, here's the fun part.

00:29:58.840 We can learn how to spot lying by watching how the people you know are lying are doing it.

00:30:07.480 Now, since you know that the, you know that our leaders are lying, right?

00:30:13.260 The lower level people are probably not lying.

00:30:15.020 So, a chief of police, not lying.

00:30:19.260 A specific member of the, let's say, police force, not lying.

00:30:25.480 They're just doing the best that they can to tell you what's going on because they don't know.

00:30:29.620 But do you think that the National Security Communications Advisor Kirby, John Kirby, do you think he doesn't know what it is?

00:30:37.020 Well, he might not be fully briefed, but I guarantee he knows they're ours.

00:30:43.520 I guarantee it.

00:30:44.820 I mean, I guarantee it.

00:30:47.960 So, when you watch him talk about it, what you do is you look for how he talks about it because that teaches you how somebody lies because this is one of those rare situations where you don't have to wonder if they're lying.

00:31:01.300 Oh, they're definitely lying.

00:31:03.600 So, what Kirby says, what did he say?

00:31:10.660 He said that the ones that they had looked into were just regular commercial aircraft.

00:31:17.800 Do you know what he's leaving out?

00:31:22.780 Well, how many have you looked into?

00:31:24.880 And does that mean you've ruled out?

00:31:26.740 No.

00:31:27.320 It's sort of a weasel answer.

00:31:29.180 All the ones we've looked at, you know, checked out as regular aircraft.

00:31:34.600 That's a weasel answer, right?

00:31:37.640 That's so obviously a weasel answer.

00:31:39.680 Or why doesn't the military shoot one down?

00:31:45.080 Or why don't we know?

00:31:46.540 Why with all of our advanced assets, why don't we know?

00:31:51.060 Like, he can't answer these questions.

00:31:53.340 Obviously, he knows the answer.

00:31:54.780 He just can't answer them.

00:31:56.380 But then Mayorkas was the funniest one. 1.00

00:31:58.320 He said that Homeland Security, he told the CNN's Wolf Blitzer, that his agency, quote, has seen no evidence of anomalous activity.

00:32:11.380 Do you think Mayorkas knows what's going on?

00:32:14.740 Of course he does.

00:32:15.800 Yeah, Mayorkas knows exactly what's going on.

00:32:17.920 Do you think that when Mayorkas is so specific that they've seen no anomalous activity, what do you think is anomalous to somebody who knows what's going on?

00:32:30.300 If you knew what was going on and you knew that the military tests things because, of course, everybody tests everything, then it's not anomalous, is it?

00:32:40.500 It's not anomalous at all.

00:32:42.100 So you look for the specific words and how narrow they make their statements.

00:32:50.200 Know that drone that somebody reported on Tuesday at 2 o'clock over in New Jersey, we determined that was an aircraft.

00:32:59.580 Hmm.

00:33:00.240 But what about the other ones?

00:33:02.460 Hmm.

00:33:02.920 That's very specific, John Kirby.

00:33:05.160 So you can learn a lot about how people lie this week.

00:33:10.060 It's going to be fun.

00:33:12.100 All right.

00:33:14.660 In other news, there's a Daily Wire is reporting that there was a school in Wisconsin that denied a white student help in his reading because he wasn't a minority.

00:33:28.280 So they're getting sued.

00:33:33.080 It makes me happy.

00:33:35.660 It does make me think that things are starting to move in the right direction.

00:33:39.220 Then, according to Fox News, there was a scholarship program that discriminated against white men.

00:33:50.900 And where was this?

00:33:52.980 Where were these?

00:34:00.020 I did not write where these were.

00:34:02.540 But there are two scholarship programs for something in the medical domain to go to college.

00:34:07.720 And they're getting sued because the program was for everybody but white men, basically.

00:34:15.280 So that's happening.

00:34:19.120 But separately, you've already heard some of this.

00:34:23.740 But Van Jones continues to be really fun to watch as he's trying to inform other Democrats what they did wrong.

00:34:33.300 Because I think he's pretty close to figuring it out, as I thought he would be.

00:34:39.680 Unlike most of the other Democrats who decided that what went wrong is that there must be more racists in the country than they knew about.

00:34:52.200 That's the lowest level of understanding.

00:34:54.320 Or maybe Kamala Harris wasn't the best campaigner. 1.00

00:34:58.200 Maybe that's why.

00:35:00.100 Maybe.

00:35:03.040 But Van Jones pointed out on some video I was watching.

00:35:08.000 He was in some event talking about it.

00:35:11.360 And he noted that the Democrats had created these binaries, as he called them.

00:35:16.240 As opposed to being like Martin Luther King, who would say, how about everybody's good?

00:35:22.380 So there's no binary with Martin Luther King.

00:35:25.160 Oh, you're a human being?

00:35:26.900 Oh, you're good.

00:35:28.760 Do I have to do anything else?

00:35:30.280 No.

00:35:30.600 What?

00:35:30.820 You said you're a human being, right?

00:35:32.700 Yes.

00:35:33.340 You're good.

00:35:34.520 You're a human being.

00:35:35.620 Yes.

00:35:36.080 You get full respect, full rights.

00:35:38.920 Because you're a human being.

00:35:41.160 But the Democrats didn't do that.

00:35:43.200 Rather, as Van Jones pointed out, even Bernie Sanders, who Van loves, was billionaires are bad.

00:35:54.080 And Van says, but is Oprah bad?

00:35:56.780 Now, that wasn't the best example, given recent events.

00:36:01.680 Because she did attend some ditty parties, if you know what I mean. 0.99

00:36:05.400 But we don't know that she's bad.

00:36:07.080 So his point is, billionaires aren't bad just because they're billionaires.

00:36:11.760 That's not the way to do it.

00:36:13.720 It's, you know, you're not being honest with the public, basically.

00:36:17.460 If you say billionaires are bad and other people are good.

00:36:22.040 And then, of course, the bigger issue of DEI is a killer.

00:36:28.080 And he does seem to note that as long as the Democrats have divisive communication and policies,

00:36:36.360 they don't really have a chance of winning because Trump managed to put together a, let's say, a set of ideas that are beyond more than anything.

00:36:49.880 They're about unity.

00:36:50.760 You know, make America great, America, America, close the borders.

00:36:56.240 You know, he's pretty clear about what's going on.

00:36:59.660 Van Jones also said, it's funny that he was saying like he was just figuring it out,

00:37:04.140 that the mainstream news is now the fringe and what had been the fringe is now the mainstream news.

00:37:10.260 So as he points out, everybody knew that Joe Rogan was big.

00:37:13.280 So that was no surprise.

00:37:15.560 But there were lesser known to older people, lesser known podcasters that Trump somehow found through Barron, I think,

00:37:25.920 and exploited and that that was a big deal and that the Democrats haven't wrapped their head around the fact that CNN might pull in,

00:37:34.680 you know, several hundred thousand viewers where the the teenage podcaster is going to pull in 14 million.

00:37:44.140 So they're not even close.

00:37:46.560 It's not that one overtook the other.

00:37:48.660 They're not even close.

00:37:50.040 It's the the alternative news and opinion people are just absurdly bigger than the mainstream media now.

00:37:57.760 So they're aware of that.

00:38:00.360 And Van also said that their vague messaging about things like they're going to restore democracy wasn't really hitting anybody,

00:38:08.700 you know, in the heart or the pocketbook where they care about stuff.

00:38:12.460 So the vague generalities, he didn't say stop saying everybody's a racist,

00:38:17.960 but that was sort of implied, too.

00:38:22.920 So that's interesting.

00:38:26.900 And we'll see if the Democrats can recover.

00:38:30.120 I don't think they can.

00:38:31.840 I don't think there's any way to recover.

00:38:35.260 Do you?

00:38:36.980 What would it take?

00:38:39.840 I don't know.

00:38:41.560 Fetterman's interesting, though, because if he becomes a candidate,

00:38:45.340 he could actually maybe reframe things.

00:38:48.560 We'll see.

00:38:50.320 Meanwhile, the Post Millennium says that Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman have all donated a million dollars each to Trump's inauguration fund.

00:39:00.380 It does sound a little bit like a shakedown, doesn't it?

00:39:02.720 If the inauguration fund comes to your company.

00:39:07.580 And you're like, I don't want to say no to the inauguration fund, because for a million dollars, which is kind of cheap.

00:39:16.260 Wouldn't it be better to show that we're in favor of the democratic process, you know, if not the candidate himself?

00:39:24.760 So that was smart.

00:39:26.840 To me, it's like they're buying protection.

00:39:32.120 But I saw a clip by Mark Andreessen, who was pointing out, and Elon Musk was agreeing, that we've never seen a vibe shift like this.

00:39:43.520 Something that happened very fast and quite thoroughly and sort of changed all the way we feel and think about everything.

00:39:50.780 It really did.

00:39:53.240 The vibe shift is continuing.

00:39:55.740 I worry that it might be temporary and, you know, just had something to do with the election being recent.

00:40:01.900 But it looks like it's real.

00:40:04.060 Like, I think the Daniel Penny thing helped, you know, make us feel like, oh, common sense is returning.

00:40:10.900 And those two words, common and sense, I believe are the unifying words for the country.

00:40:17.920 Because what was happening is, in order for the two sides to show that they were different from each other, they had to disagree on everything.

00:40:27.700 It seems like there was some unwritten rule that the parties had to just disagree on everything.

00:40:32.140 But there were so many things that were common sense that you didn't really need to disagree on, such as borders.

00:40:39.660 You know, I'm sure a majority of Democrats would like the border controlled, you know.

00:40:46.740 So, common sense turns out to be, and, you know, nobody really, I don't think there was a champion for that term or anything.

00:40:55.520 It's just that people simultaneously decided, why don't we just do what's common sense?

00:41:02.420 Why don't we just stop assuming that we figure this out?

00:41:05.580 Stop assuming that our leaders are smarter than us.

00:41:08.440 Why don't we just look at what makes sense?

00:41:12.700 And I'll bet there's no difference when the Republicans and the Democrats look at common sense stuff.

00:41:18.480 And sure enough, I think there are things such as the Daniel Penny situation.

00:41:23.640 I think common sense screams that you need to protect the guy who was willing to step in.

00:41:30.820 Especially a Marine.

00:41:32.600 Are you kidding me?

00:41:34.040 Like, we train him to do this, and then we're going to put him in jail for doing it?

00:41:37.280 But he's trained to do that.

00:41:39.600 You know, I realize, you know, it went wrong, but he's trained to step in.

00:41:45.740 Meanwhile, the Harvard president, according to the New York Post, privately told his faculty members that they need to work on their messaging.

00:41:55.160 They have to rethink their messaging after the GOP victory.

00:41:59.680 Now, here's what I love about that.

00:42:02.320 Every time some Democrat says they have to change their messaging, it confirms to me that they don't understand anything that's happening in the world.

00:42:11.540 Your messaging, not really the base problem.

00:42:17.640 Yes, your messaging should be better.

00:42:20.220 But it's not the base problem.

00:42:22.240 The base problem is the things you're talking about don't make common sense.

00:42:26.920 They're either bad for unity, bad for the economy, bad for the future in some way.

00:42:32.780 So, no, it's not your messaging that's the problem.

00:42:37.960 And everybody who thinks their messaging is the problem, probably narcissists who can't look at their own actions and see anything wrong.

00:42:46.160 It must be other people.

00:42:48.120 It's just the messaging that's wrong.

00:42:52.120 Anyway, I think they're still trapped in their own gaslighting bubble.

00:42:55.100 Meanwhile, in California, a member of the California legislature is being accused by the Department of Justice for maybe taking bribes related to permits for cannabis.

00:43:12.220 And you don't need to know the details.

00:43:14.440 That's not the important part.

00:43:15.900 But here's a problem I have.

00:43:18.040 I feel like our elected leaders are the least qualified and trustworthy for deciding anything that involves money.

00:43:31.480 I feel like the people we elect should have no control over money.

00:43:37.560 Like who gets a permit so they can open a business?

00:43:40.740 Who gets the bid?

00:43:42.580 I don't think they should do it.

00:43:44.020 Because all it does is create guaranteed corruption at every level.

00:43:49.640 So, somebody has to make the decisions.

00:43:52.880 And whoever is making the decisions, it would be susceptible to bribery.

00:43:56.820 But I feel like everything that has to do with money needs to be really, really public and transparent.

00:44:06.000 So, at least the public can say, hey, hey, I think you know somebody and that permit is bad.

00:44:11.320 And so, other than making everything super public, I don't know what to do about that.

00:44:18.820 There's no way that local management can ever work because they're just too easily bribable.

00:44:25.920 Meanwhile, the United Healthcare CEO, I don't know, is he the one who replaced the one who was murdered?

00:44:33.100 He must be.

00:44:33.960 But he said, quote, we know the health system does not work as well as it should.

00:44:38.540 And we understand people's frustration with it.

00:44:41.940 The new CEO's last name is Witty.

00:44:45.420 He's a witty guy.

00:44:48.780 But here's the important part.

00:44:50.420 He said, no one would design a system like the one we have.

00:44:54.220 And no one did.

00:44:55.420 It's a patchwork built over decades.

00:44:58.280 Now, who can fix that?

00:45:00.560 If you have a system that's a patchwork that really needs to be ripped down to its base and rebuilt to make sense?

00:45:09.120 It's Elon Musk.

00:45:11.560 Now, I don't know if he's going to be working specifically in this domain.

00:45:15.660 But yes, our healthcare system is one nobody would have designed.

00:45:22.120 So what if you said to yourself, what would it look like if the smartest person in the world designed it?

00:45:29.700 Why don't we see if we can get there?

00:45:31.320 And if we can't do it, well, we're dead.

00:45:37.760 So that would be called reengineering.

00:45:40.220 So instead of tweaking, you start and say, all right, everything's on the table.

00:45:44.520 What if we could just throw away everything we have and start over?

00:45:48.000 What would it look like if we did it right?

00:45:49.600 And that would take your healthcare costs down probably 50%, I think.

00:45:56.880 That's what I think.

00:46:00.540 Anyway, here's a scary one.

00:46:05.120 There was a young man, 26-year-old guy, who was found dead from what they think is suicide in San Francisco in his apartment.

00:46:13.780 But what's interesting is that he was a former open AI, you know, chat GPT, open AI researcher, but he turned whistleblower.

00:46:25.240 So he was an open AI whistleblower who was found suspiciously dead.

00:46:32.240 And he was whistleblowing because he thought it was too dangerous or they're doing it too fast or something.

00:46:40.160 He was a subject of a New York Times, oh, no, he was a subject, I'm sorry, it wasn't because of the danger only, but he was a subject of a New York Times profile that quoted him as open AI was stealing the IP of places like the New York Times.

00:46:59.780 Now, if it turned out that the law agreed with the New York Times, that AI can't just use their stuff, that would make AI kind of worthless.

00:47:13.160 So let me put this together.

00:47:15.220 So there was a whistleblower whose opinion could make a $3 trillion industry go away, just go away, because it couldn't do what it does if it couldn't use stuff that is scraped off the Internet.

00:47:32.460 Now, he becomes a whistleblower, which is a risk to $3 trillion business.

00:47:42.140 And then, without any outside knowledge, he dies suspiciously of what I guess would be a drug overdose intentionally, if they think it's suicide.

00:47:55.420 But wouldn't that be the easiest thing to fake?

00:48:01.220 Like, if you had a pill that was going to kill somebody, you know, let's say you knew it would kill them, and you just put a gun in their head and say, take this pill and lay down, would they do it? 0.65

00:48:13.440 And then the pill just kills them, and then you think it's suicide.

00:48:15.900 So if it weren't for the fact that the industry is so big that you don't know what they'd be willing to do to keep a trillion dollars going their way, I don't know.

00:48:30.260 The smart money says that it was just something about him. 0.79

00:48:33.700 But on the other hand, we have heard that the intelligence agencies have told the big AI companies that they're going to be the bitches of the intelligence people. 0.89

00:48:47.720 In other words, the government has already told them there are only going to be two or three big AI companies, because we can't control them if there are lots of them.

00:48:55.680 And we're going to totally control them, just to make sure that it's all stuff that's good for the republic or maybe good for the democrats, I don't know.

00:49:05.260 But if you imagine that the intelligence people know that our AI industry has to be better than China's or else we'll all die,

00:49:17.280 do you think the CIA could let somebody blow the whistle and destroy a trillion dollar industry in America while China would just keep going?

00:49:29.160 And reportedly they've already caught up with us, even though they have worse chips, somehow they've already caught up.

00:49:35.480 And the risk to the United States as a country might be existential.

00:49:41.300 So the smart people are saying, if we don't win in AI, we don't win.

00:49:47.380 That's like going to be the whole game.

00:49:49.620 I don't know that that's true, but it's a reasonable risk.

00:49:54.280 It's a reasonable thing to say.

00:49:56.440 So now it's trillions of dollars.

00:49:58.740 It's an existential risk to the country.

00:50:01.560 And there's this one whistleblower who might blow everything.

00:50:04.760 And the people who are trying to make sure that it doesn't get blown up are literally trained killers. 0.98

00:50:14.860 They're trained killers and trained liars. 0.92

00:50:18.520 And then somebody suspiciously dies. 0.98

00:50:22.640 He suspiciously dies after he crosses a trillion dollar industry full of trained killers.

00:50:29.840 Not full of, but backed by, backed by trained killers.

00:50:35.660 Now, if you're not worried about that, I don't know what you're worried about.

00:50:40.840 Now, I'm not going to make any accusations.

00:50:43.060 Like, I don't have direct evidence of anything happening.

00:50:46.580 But boy, everything about it raises some questions.

00:50:54.420 Scott Jennings summed up, he was on CNN.

00:50:57.800 And he summed up the reason for Trump's political comeback in just three words, according to the Daily Wire.

00:51:06.140 He called them the breaker of narratives.

00:51:09.700 How do you like that explanation of why Trump won?

00:51:13.400 He's a breaker of narratives.

00:51:14.900 I accept that, but I would add a couple of tweaks.

00:51:21.540 You don't break narratives unless you have persuasion skills.

00:51:26.400 What Trump has is the persuasion skills.

00:51:30.660 So I would have said he won because he's the most skilled persuader.

00:51:36.620 But if you don't want to talk in persuasion terms, you'd say he's a breaker of narratives, which in fact he did.

00:51:41.540 One of the narratives was that the fake news was reliable.

00:51:48.180 And he just changed the narrative to, nope, it's always lying all the time.

00:51:53.060 And we go, oh, okay, that's really different. 0.96

00:51:56.340 He changed the narrative from he was a clown to he's maybe the best president we've ever had. 0.92

00:52:03.880 But here's the other thing I would add. 0.93

00:52:06.620 You had some help.

00:52:07.480 Trump, yes, Trump, Trump is the boss in this example.

00:52:14.600 He's the boss.

00:52:15.660 And when the boss gets good advice, the boss still has to decide to take it.

00:52:21.580 So the boss has to know who to listen to.

00:52:23.920 The boss has to know which advice is good because there's lots of competing advice.

00:52:27.960 And then they have to take that advice and productively use it.

00:52:32.540 So no matter who helps Trump, the boss gets all the credit.

00:52:37.480 It should be that way.

00:52:38.680 That's the way it should be.

00:52:40.120 But the truth is, he had a lot of help.

00:52:46.760 Trump had a lot of help.

00:52:48.660 And there were a lot of really, really persuasive people who helped him, pushed him over the line.

00:52:56.200 I'm talking about people like David Sachs, Elon Musk, Vivek.

00:53:04.900 Those are not ordinary persuasive people.

00:53:08.760 Those are super persuasive.

00:53:11.620 And so if those are the people that Trump listens to, and we know he did, there's how you break a narrative.

00:53:20.120 But also people like Mike Cernovich, breaker of narratives.

00:53:27.600 People like me, breaker of narratives.

00:53:30.520 I don't see that kind of skill on the left.

00:53:35.880 Maybe I just don't know who the players are enough.

00:53:38.160 That's possible.

00:53:39.360 But on the right, it's no surprise that the boss of a group of people who, for whatever reason, have the best narrative breakers all on the same team.

00:53:50.560 He's a narrative breaker, but he got help.

00:53:55.360 So, and again, he still gets all the credit because probably all of this help would have been available to a Democrat, you know, different people.

00:54:06.220 But maybe there's a Democrat who wasn't taking advice, didn't know which advice to take.

00:54:13.500 Yeah.

00:54:15.300 And it does seem that the Democrats are makers of narratives.

00:54:18.320 I'm seeing that from Frank, makers of narratives.

00:54:22.320 So the Democrats make the narrative, and Trump is the first person at that level of politics who was able to destroy them and just turn them around.

00:54:33.500 I take you back to 2015 when I said, you guys don't know what's coming.

00:54:42.840 I've never seen anybody with more persuasion tools in their toolbox.

00:54:46.960 He's not going to change just politics, I told you in 2015.

00:54:52.200 I said, he's going to change reality itself.

00:54:56.840 And that's the breaker of narratives.

00:54:59.320 Here it is.

00:55:14.220 You're richer than you think.

00:55:15.280 Meanwhile, Jordan Peterson is moving to the U.S.

00:55:21.620 I've been waiting for this.

00:55:23.540 I kind of, every time Jordan Peterson would complain about Canada, because Canada is giving him a hard time and his licensing, the taxes are high and the government's incompetent and, you know, immigration's out of control there as well.

00:55:36.760 And they're super woke.

00:55:39.020 I kept thinking, you're going to move, right?

00:55:42.600 Like, why wouldn't you move?

00:55:44.260 He probably does most of his work in America.

00:55:46.700 So he just announced he's moving.

00:55:49.040 Now, I think maybe at least half of his reason is to be closer to his daughter, who he works with a lot, too.

00:55:55.260 She's already in the United States.

00:55:57.040 So welcome, Jordan Peterson.

00:55:58.780 You know, we always mock all the Democrats who say, if Trump is elected, I'm immediately leaving the country.

00:56:07.520 And then they never do.

00:56:10.540 And then Jordan Peterson says, oh, you went too far.

00:56:15.380 And now I'm leaving your country.

00:56:17.820 Imagine losing Jordan Peterson from Canada.

00:56:21.320 Do you know what Canada just lost?

00:56:22.960 They just lost their best guy.

00:56:27.800 If you were going to pick teams for some kind of competition that was academic or mental or persuasion or just good advice or a good writer, you'd look at Canada and you'd say, all right, who's the second best Canadian?

00:56:47.920 I don't know.

00:56:48.740 Who's the second best Canadian?

00:56:50.600 They just lost their best Canadian.

00:56:52.960 But it's an honest question.

00:56:55.800 Who's their second best? 0.61

00:56:57.700 Like if you'd ask me, I think Gad Saad is the right answer to that.

00:57:03.440 Gad Saad.

00:57:05.360 But is he still in, is Gad still in Canada?

00:57:09.240 Mark Stein, he got shut down.

00:57:11.880 Haven't heard from him in a long time.

00:57:13.740 Tan Aykroyd.

00:57:16.620 Mark Gretzky.

00:57:20.060 Mike Myers.

00:57:20.940 Well, I think of the names that you mentioned, Jordan Peterson would still be the first one picked for any team.

00:57:29.380 So they lost their best guy.

00:57:31.700 Good luck, Canada.

00:57:32.700 Anyway, according to European Commission Joint Research Center, when people engage with social media, in other words, they make comments as opposed to just reading it, they feel less lonely.

00:57:49.220 But if they simply consume it passively, they feel more lonely.

00:57:55.960 Or at least there's a difference in loneliness.

00:57:58.100 So I'm going to make a recommendation to you, a recommendation if you're looking to interact with your social media, but you don't feel like talking to people.

00:58:09.260 I'm not, I don't have any financial stake in this, in case you wonder, but perplexity, the app, you really need to try this one.

00:58:21.400 It's the first AI related app that I'm pretty sure I'll use always, you know, unless somebody beats it.

00:58:30.220 But right now it's killer.

00:58:32.140 And what it is, is you can just hold down the little button and talk to it.

00:58:36.180 And because it's AI, you can say anything unclearly and it still seems to understand everything.

00:58:42.260 And then it gives just the best answers.

00:58:45.940 So I'll give you an example of what I asked it yesterday.

00:58:49.640 So I like to have it talk to me about things I didn't know that are just quick.

00:58:56.600 So I said, tell me a story about something that happened in American history that is interesting and most people don't know about.

00:59:05.620 And then it told me, you know, I kept prompting it and it gave me three different stories that were really interesting.

00:59:13.420 I was totally delighted to get them and they were right on point.

00:59:17.540 They were interesting things that I didn't know about.

00:59:21.620 For example, did you know that Davy Crockett was not born in one of the United States?

00:59:29.280 That's right.

01:00:00.000 That was kind of cool.

01:00:01.700 And anyway, I had a few other stories.

01:00:03.520 But what it does is it'll go on for a while without being annoying and tell you a fun story.

01:00:11.460 So I use it all day long.

01:00:14.560 I use it when I'm working.

01:00:17.340 For example, this morning when I heard those noises and then I saw the alert about the tornado alert in San Francisco,

01:00:25.200 I just reached perplexly.

01:00:27.220 I push the button and I say, what does a tornado sound like?

01:00:32.040 And it comes back with, you know, it can sound like a freight train.

01:00:38.740 And I think, exactly, exactly.

01:00:41.220 So that's probably what I heard.

01:00:42.340 So it's really good and it will feel like a person talking to you.

01:00:48.100 So it will make you feel a little less lonely because you're interacting with it.

01:00:51.600 So that is my advice on that.

01:00:55.420 The last thing, last point is there was a study, a new study by the University of Manchester about Russia's covert propaganda network.

01:01:05.120 So apparently when they lost RT, so that doesn't run in the United States because that was their RT was called Russia Today originally.

01:01:15.700 And it was meant to be a propaganda tool, but it's kind of banned in the United States.

01:01:21.980 But they launched a bunch of other smaller ones to make them look like they were real, real news sites.

01:01:28.900 But here's, listen to this.

01:01:30.700 One of their real news sites is called Reliable Recent News, or as they call it, RRN.

01:01:37.380 RRN is literally the name of my comic strip that I do only within the local subscription service, which involves a robot who reads the news.

01:01:50.520 So RRN as a news entity is, it's a comic, but it's also a Russian site, I guess.

01:01:57.900 Anyway, so they did this study and they found out that the Russian propaganda is absolutely toothless, useless, and makes no difference whatsoever.

01:02:09.020 Now that is what I've been telling you since 2016.

01:02:13.700 When we saw the Russian memes, remember the Democrats would say, no, the Russians are posting all these things on social media and it's fixing the, it's rigging the result.

01:02:23.860 And then they showed us what their memes were, and the memes looked like they were made by seventh graders as a project.

01:02:30.700 Didn't have any, any persuasive qualities whatsoever.

01:02:37.600 All right, Ryan Reynolds, I guess that's our most famous current Canadian.

01:02:42.620 All right, I'll give you Ryan Reynolds, he's a billionaire.

01:02:45.400 That might be, that might be beating Jordan Peterson.

01:02:48.960 All right, that's all I got for you today.

01:02:57.460 It's going to be a wonderful day.

01:02:59.680 I believe Owen is going to do a spaces after this.

01:03:05.340 So he's going to test to see if anybody wants to hang around and keep talking.

01:03:09.960 People, people will follow me.

01:03:12.340 So look for Owen.

01:03:17.100 He'll have a spaces probably, he's probably getting ready to fire that up pretty soon.

01:03:22.540 If you want to continue.

01:03:24.020 All right.

01:03:24.920 So that's all I got for today.

01:03:26.760 I will see you in the man cave tonight.

01:03:30.560 But I'm just saying just a little bit privately to the locals people before I go.

01:03:35.400 So goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and X and locals.

01:03:40.320 I'm coming at you.
