00:00:00.000
As soon as I get my comments working here, success.
00:00:16.220
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:25.560
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it's the best thing that ever happened to you.
00:00:31.220
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:00:41.500
Wait, no, you need a cup of mug or a glass of tankard shells or a stein, a canteen drink or a flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:00:47.020
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:49.540
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,
00:00:52.640
the thing that makes everything better, including Mondays, is called the Simultaneous Sip.
00:01:07.960
Well, I have to start by saying that last night in the man cave that I do just for the subscribers to locals,
00:01:14.980
we discovered that you can make pictures of public figures using Grok, their new image generator.
00:01:24.420
And you could have those public figures appear to be very interested in each other.
00:01:31.760
Now, it's not going to do porn, but if you'd like to see a public figure making out with another public figure,
00:01:38.000
apparently you can do that because people were sending me a lot of images of me making out with Michelle Obama and a few other people.
00:01:57.140
So I started putting in the images of myself and other beautiful, famous woman just to see.
00:02:08.540
Now, it doesn't do anything, you know, that's beyond PG.
00:02:15.860
But it is weirdly fascinating to see how just picture perfect I can do of myself with another person I've never met in person.
00:02:33.040
Yeah, let me tell you the future is going to be wild.
00:02:38.400
Meanwhile, the X app is the number one news app at the moment.
00:02:42.940
Imagine being the one that the news wants to kill and he becomes the number one news app.
00:02:51.760
But the problem is, as others have pointed out,
00:02:56.120
isn't X only the number one news app because it's where people go to make fun of all the news?
00:03:11.360
It would just be independent people who look at the mainstream news and decide how true it is.
00:03:17.660
But if we didn't have any, there wouldn't be much to talk about.
00:03:21.660
So according to the New England Journal of Medicine,
00:03:30.400
it could have even worse cognitive biases than the human doctors.
00:03:34.780
So they did a test and they found that depending on how you prime the AI,
00:03:43.280
you might get a response that's a little biased,
00:03:49.660
So while AI seems to be an amazing thing for knowing what question to ask your doctor,
00:04:01.060
But if you want to just know if you're asking the right questions and did you leave anything out,
00:04:06.720
talk to AI before you have your doctor appointment.
00:04:14.500
but it certainly is a good way to check that you've covered all your bases.
00:04:26.380
chronic pain can be lowered by better quality diet, regardless of body weight.
00:04:31.600
So if you improve your diet, so you're not eating junk food,
00:04:49.060
that's not one I would have known if you had just asked Scott,
00:04:53.280
but it makes sense because a good diet will give you less full body inflammation.
00:04:59.640
And you would think that pain would be quite related to inflammation.
00:05:29.040
you're just delighted that you have a job at all.
00:05:32.260
If you're over 65 and you have any kind of a job,
00:05:38.780
it turns out a lot of people at that age don't even need the job.
00:05:41.940
It's just the only way they can have a social connection.
00:05:52.300
But what's interesting about worker happiness is that workers are happiest when they're youngest.
00:06:00.620
people are the least happy in the prime of their life.
00:06:15.200
pretty happy after your children have moved down to the house,
00:06:20.700
raising children turns out it's hard to be happy.
00:06:32.200
You have this funny experience where if you just took any parent and you say,
00:06:53.540
I got to drive this kid all over and one of them sick.
00:06:59.300
way too many things to do and I've got to work late,
00:07:17.480
you would find that people will self identify as happy because really glad they have kids and they have meaning and they have something important in their lives.
00:07:36.960
the biggest reason there's a decline in birth rate,
00:07:52.560
if I hadn't entered that when I'd already made money so that I could afford things like,
00:08:04.960
But if I didn't have money and I tried to have kids or step kids,
00:08:22.660
nanonuclear energy and Digihost technology are going to get together to make a micro reactor
00:08:34.140
this is only interesting because the trend for micro nuclear reactors,
00:08:40.660
which I and all the smart people think are going to be the future.
00:08:59.060
should be powered by nukes and that it would lower inflation.
00:09:09.860
authorize and approve and build a ship or shipping container.
00:09:20.480
the way where the way our nuclear submarines already work,
00:09:24.040
if we already have the technology and it's been working forever on nuclear
00:09:29.400
would it be that much harder to put it on a tanker?
00:09:34.520
but I suppose that's not the biggest problem in the world.
00:09:40.340
According to unusual whales and a fortune magazine,
00:09:45.640
first reported 55% of hiring managers notice employees juggling side gigs during
00:09:52.160
work hours 55% of your employees are doing a second job while they're on
00:10:16.600
was patterned on one of my coworkers who used to sit in the cubicle behind me
00:10:21.400
and he would run a second business from his cubicle.
00:10:37.800
we're not going to fire you because you've been a good employee except for
00:10:44.940
So he had a job where he could never be promoted and he was a young man.
00:10:55.520
he just started a second business and he just ran his second business from
00:11:00.260
He was doing lighting and was it lighting and sound?
00:11:03.380
I think it was mostly sound for big outdoor events.
00:11:06.580
So I'd hear him answer the phone under the name of his other company.
00:11:20.240
I don't know how you would manage an employee without assuming that they
00:11:27.540
who knows a lot about investing and he follows China.
00:11:43.240
he says insolvent and leveraged that 350% of reported GDP.
00:11:51.140
somebody saying that that might be a little bit alarmist and that China is a
00:11:56.140
centralized economy and they have lots of tools that they can make sure their
00:12:04.540
it's not like they're minutes from falling off the edge of the earth or
00:12:09.640
one more indication that China is not thriving.
00:12:35.480
on stage and he just started slurring his words as if maybe a stroke.
00:12:59.800
So we don't know what's wrong with young Alex Bruzowicz,
00:13:05.760
a lot of Republicans seem to like him and we wish him the best.
00:13:28.920
I saw this story and I kind of passed by it the first time.
00:13:37.040
apparently being there when one of the notorious,
00:13:42.000
Syrian prisons was being liberated after the rebels took over from the
00:13:48.060
And it showed one particular Syrian prisoner who was being freed.
00:13:52.360
And I remember people saying that he didn't look like he was a real
00:14:01.640
And now we find out that the alleged prisoner was actually one of the,
00:14:14.420
He was apparently pretending to be a prisoner for the benefit of CNN's
00:14:18.680
And so he just acted like he was being discovered in the prison.
00:14:32.020
if the story that is fake news is entirely fake.
00:14:36.460
Do we know he wasn't just recently put in that prison?
00:14:53.080
according to the report in the wall street journal,
00:14:55.240
that people will change their spending habits based on whether their
00:15:07.180
they spend more because they feel more optimistic and same with Republicans.
00:15:13.380
Republicans are looking at more big ticket stuff like cars and houses,
00:15:29.120
it's going to be tough to be a Democrat for a few more years because they
00:15:34.680
they're probably not going to like it that much better this time.
00:15:39.440
does this make Democrats undateable for four years?
00:15:46.240
but if you're so unhappy that you're changing your spending habits and they do
00:15:59.780
It seems like dating anybody who was a Democrat would be a bad deal right now
00:16:03.520
because they're all going to be unhappy and bitching about stuff.
00:16:13.920
Looks like the golden golden age has kicked off.
00:16:38.520
the big old orange monster will be stealing our democracy and our bodily
00:16:51.980
maybe a little less dating of Democrats for four years.
00:17:01.160
his favorability ratings are higher than his unfavorability ratings,
00:17:13.820
So did you know that never before has he had more people favorable than
00:17:35.060
even the people on the losing end are saying consistently,
00:17:54.940
I've seen that Jessica Tarloff saying that it was brilliant to ship the
00:18:05.640
the side that looks for merit instead of identity did way better.
00:18:16.340
The team that says merit should be the thing you look at outperformed the team that says
00:18:35.020
DEI destroys everything it touches and it destroys the fastest and hardest.
00:18:41.520
Whatever DEI touches soonest and most aggressively.
00:18:51.180
they were fast on the DEI and most aggressive because people are watching and it,
00:18:56.720
it's completely destroyed just as the theory would suggest.

00:20:00.460
But, I saw a podcast, it looked like a Democrat pollster who was doing some focus groups.
00:20:12.260
And what the focus groups were saying, and it was a focus group of people who had been
00:20:18.340
non-Trump supporters, usually Democrats, and had voted for him for the first time.
00:20:25.060
So, they didn't vote for him in the first two elections, but this time they did.
00:20:39.360
The reason is not surprising, but it was kind of encouraging.
00:20:45.920
Here's the reason that Democrats, at least, and it's a focus group, so it's not a scientific
00:20:51.160
poll, but several people said the same thing, which is meaningful to me, that they were
00:20:57.880
a little unsure about Trump still, but they liked that he picked RFK Jr.
00:21:06.380
Did move votes, because his credibility, and people liked his topic, especially the food
00:21:13.340
and the, you know, making sure our drugs are safer.
00:21:15.620
So, RFK Jr.'s message was so strong, and he was so credible, that when he said, you know
00:21:23.280
what, I can work with Trump, as long as I can get my stuff done, and then Trump helps him
00:21:36.140
Because one of my biggest issues was our food supply, and I didn't see anything that was
00:21:42.520
So, you throw RFK Jr. in there, and I'm like, whoa, you suddenly went from most of the things
00:22:04.780
So, you throw that in there, you throw in Elon Musk, and, you know, basically the argument
00:22:11.460
is that Trump assembled the Democrats of the 1990s, because even Trump was a Democrat in
00:22:19.560
So, yeah, between, you know, David Sachs and Tulsi Gabbard and Bill Ackman, he's not on the
00:22:32.380
But, yeah, it looks like this pirate ship idea of bringing people from more than one
00:22:39.640
group together is having a modeling effect on the public.
00:22:44.600
So, when the public sees that these public figures can work together, you know, being
00:22:49.160
as diametrically opposed as you could possibly be in general, but when they add something
00:22:54.860
they both agree on, they could work together, that is really unifying.
00:23:05.540
I want people who do agree on the things that we do agree on to work on that, you know.
00:23:12.980
And if that's the only thing Trump gets unity on is that, yeah, for the things we agree
00:23:17.680
on, well, we could work with that, like the border, for example.
00:23:22.300
It'd be better than anything we've ever seen in this country, really.
00:23:31.700
Meanwhile, Trump continues to do what I call the new CEO move, to make a good first impression
00:23:37.460
and hit the ground running, as they say, and to make it look like he's just succeeded before
00:23:44.200
Now, succeeding before you've started is just so strong persuasion.
00:23:52.920
And so, now the SoftBank CEO, Masa Sun, is going to visit the U.S. today and he's going
00:24:09.980
I love the fact that the world is treating Trump like the one they need to talk to.
00:24:14.320
They understand he's de facto president, not regular president, but still, everybody's
00:24:22.040
And what is the Biden administration complaining about so far?
00:24:30.120
You do kind of expect them to complain a little bit that Trump's acting like a president.
00:24:39.340
You know, somebody needs to act like a president, and they don't have anybody who can do it.
00:24:45.200
So, apparently, SoftBank CEO is going to put a $100 billion investment in the U.S.
00:24:57.980
Somebody was saying that's no big deal, $100 billion, $100,000 jobs.
00:25:03.980
Somebody smarter said, no, that's just the first order.
00:25:08.540
$100,000 jobs creates $100,000 people to buy stuff.
00:25:12.920
So, $100,000 new consumers, you know, all the supply chain that would supply these businesses.
00:25:21.900
$100 billion might be a multiplier to something like half a trillion.
00:25:36.860
So, Adam Kinzinger, who you know as being famous for not really being good at anything in politics.
00:25:52.240
So, he used to be a Republican, changed sides, became the worst, worst politician in the world.
00:26:02.700
And he says he's spent time looking at all the videos of the drones.
00:26:19.280
Or do you think that somebody got to him and said, Adam, tell him it's all airplanes?
00:26:36.120
According to hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of observers.
00:26:45.720
And he points out that there's nothing illegal about flying over a military base and that anybody can do it.
00:26:59.560
Do you believe that it's legal to fly over a military installation?
00:27:08.360
But are there some of them, say, in a metropolitan area where it's no big deal?
00:27:15.000
It's just one other thing that's on the ground?
00:27:18.140
So, I'm going to put a question mark next to that one.
00:27:21.480
I don't know that you can always fly over them.
00:27:23.860
But maybe if you're, let's say if you're a commercial airline, you've got a flight plan, you're a trusted entity, maybe?
00:27:38.360
So, he thinks that if anything, if drones are involved at all, it's probably just some tests.
00:27:45.660
But it's way more activity than just some tests.
00:27:52.260
I did a little research because I was trying to figure out what is the lowest height that these aircraft should be at, if they're regular aircraft.
00:28:03.040
So, a regular aircraft, if it's over a populated area, is not supposed to be below 1,000 feet of the highest thing that's nearby.
00:28:15.640
So, whatever is the highest building that's in the immediate neighborhood, they have to be at least 1,000 feet above the highest nearby building.
00:28:24.860
If they're in a sparsely populated place, they could go down as low as 500 feet.
00:28:32.820
And if they were over, let's say, an ocean, and, you know, it's a private plane or something over an ocean, they could go even lower than 500 feet because there's nobody there anyway.
00:28:44.660
Will I debate you on the thing I already agree with?
00:29:03.460
I mentioned that because yesterday, was it yesterday?
00:29:10.280
Yes, I drive to where I walk the dog because there's a good place to walk the dog, but it's hard to walk to it.
00:29:17.540
Anyway, I look up and there was a really large jet.
00:29:22.320
It looked like a private jet, but one of the biggest ones, you know, like a billionaire private jet.
00:29:29.400
And it was going directly over my house, and I'd never seen a jet that low.
00:29:37.000
To me, it looked like it was lower than 1,000 feet.
00:29:42.300
Has anybody had the experience of, let's say, a daytime jet that you thought was lower than you've seen in the past?
00:29:53.360
Do you think it's just my imagination because I'm sort of tuned to it, and so my reticular activators are just picking it up, and I wouldn't have even noticed before?
00:30:02.420
But it was a big jet, and it was low enough so I could see all the details of the components of the jet.
00:30:14.980
When was the last time you had a jet go over you, unless you were right next to an airport?
00:30:19.900
When was the last time you had one go over where you could see all the parts, like in detail?
00:30:24.900
Well, I think it was closer than 1,000 feet, but I don't know what 1,000 feet looks like, really.
00:30:32.620
So I don't know what's going on there, but Robert Malone, you remember Robert Malone from the pandemic?
00:30:40.660
He was one of the inventors of the mRNA platform, and he became anti—I won't say anti-vax, but a cautious person about that whole thing.
00:30:54.260
But his hypothesis is that it's a federal PSYOP, and that the point of the PSYOP is to get a law passed.
00:31:10.380
And apparently there's a law being considered that would put lots of regulations on personal drones.
00:31:22.980
Do you think it's a PSYOP so that everybody in the country says, no, we can't have drones running around uncontrolled?
00:31:31.940
Just at the same time that the government is considering—I think it's extending something that's already there.
00:31:39.740
But the government is considering the question of how much to regulate drones that are owned by individuals.
00:31:47.380
So as they're considering how much to regulate drones, we have a drone crisis all over the country that's scaring the public.
00:31:57.360
Could it be that the entire thing is a psychological operation to make sure that the military has clamped down on any drones that they don't own so it's easier to protect the country?
00:32:10.500
Because you wouldn't want to say to the country, hey, we're going to take your drones away because they can be turned into weapons.
00:32:17.400
And then all the people who like guns are going to say, you're not going to take my guns and you're not going to take my drone that I can weaponize.
00:32:32.140
That's why. In case I need to weaponize it, I want to be able to.
00:32:49.840
Yeah, I see my YouTube is down, but it looks like it came back up.
00:32:55.780
Do you think it's a major psyop and that the military or the government is trying to make us afraid of drones?
00:33:03.340
So we'll favor our government banning drones or at least banning anything that would look dangerous as a drone.
00:33:14.280
But it doesn't really match, you know, my experience of life.
00:33:31.080
I think if it were a psyop, it wouldn't be so extensive.
00:33:37.940
Because we're getting reports from all over the world about too many drones.
00:33:47.760
I would say I'll put that third or fourth on the list of possibilities.
00:33:52.800
But I'll tell you my current drone theory, if you haven't heard it, I have updated it.
00:34:13.420
I have abandoned the idea that they're looking for radiation or chemical weapons.
00:34:21.400
Now, the radiation part I abandoned because I just happened to know somebody who worked in that field.
00:34:27.400
And the person who worked in the field, Tom Sauer, says, you know, trust me, I have experience in the field.
00:34:38.700
Because apparently he searched for WMDs when he was in the service.
00:34:47.000
But without giving too much away about the way we do things, I'll just say it wouldn't be this way.
00:34:54.240
So, in other words, if you had complete access to the ground, you know, it's America.
00:35:02.500
The last thing you would do is try to fly over it to get the radiation signal.
00:35:07.440
You might fly over it, but you'd mostly have stuff on the ground because you want to, you know, really get close to the source.
00:35:15.940
So, it's very unlikely that these drones have some kind of souped up radiation detectors at the height they are.
00:35:25.420
So, if you're going to be 1,000 feet in the air, your detecting isn't going to be that great.
00:35:39.940
I'll start with my assumptions, see which ones you agree with.
00:35:43.520
By the way, the thing I'm going to read to you, I posted.
00:35:52.120
And Marjorie Taylor Greene said it sounded like a good hypothesis.
00:36:03.380
So, almost everybody who reposted it said, oh, this is very feasible.
00:36:11.580
So, this is based on my personal talent stack, which I improved by 5% by listening to somebody who knows about how you search for radiation.
00:36:22.400
So, I had zero knowledge about how to search for radiation yesterday.
00:36:38.560
So, I'm really tuned in to just how any big organization gets anything done.
00:36:44.260
So, I'm going to use my filter as the guy who knows how any big organization does any big thing.
00:37:12.480
And whoever can most quickly increase their drone assets is in the best shape.
00:37:20.020
The United States always is running fast to be the best military power in the world.
00:37:28.100
So, if you know that drone warfare is the future, and you know it's right now, like when I say the future, it's like now, now, now, now.
00:37:48.780
You really, really want to have lots of drones.
00:37:52.220
And you want to be the unambiguous leader in the good ones.
00:37:57.000
Now, we also know that we have a drone pilot shortage.
00:38:02.440
So, what happens if you know you need lots and lots and lots of drones, but you don't have enough pilots?
00:38:08.460
Obviously, you would do massive training of pilots, and you would do it as soon as possible.
00:38:25.760
Say the most obvious thing that you say in this situation.
00:38:44.640
There's got to be at least one NPC watching this.
00:38:49.280
The NPC says, oh, but Scott, don't you know that the drones are autonomous, and they don't
00:38:57.480
need any pilots, and they're run by the AI and stuff?
00:39:04.380
It's the most obvious thing to say, to act like you're a little bit smarter than me.
00:39:20.460
There are lots and lots of different kinds of drones.
00:39:23.800
Some are only piloted by humans, such as if you're an infantry person, you had a little
00:39:30.560
handheld drone, and you just wanted to see the enemy on the other side of the hill.
00:39:37.180
That would just be one you operate, and it would be completely piloted by a human, but
00:39:41.860
Secondly, there would be, of course, some drones that are basically fire and forget, meaning
00:39:50.900
that you might put in the coordinates, but then once it goes, it's just going to do its
00:39:58.360
But that still requires a pilot in the limited sense that somebody had to pick the target,
00:40:06.200
program the drone, know which drone they were dealing with, make sure it was safe to launch,
00:40:11.860
and then probably at some point make some human decisions when the drone reaches its target
00:40:17.560
of whether that's still really a good target or maybe they need to jog over and do some other
00:40:26.740
So my presumption is we're not anywhere near getting rid of pilots for drones.
00:40:47.560
Yeah, so Elon Musk was saying that we haven't seen how big the drone wars are going to be.
00:40:58.640
We know we're going to need massive drone buildup, and we know there's no such thing
00:41:12.200
Because whoever has the most wins every drone battle, you know, if they have good ones.
00:41:16.820
So we should be absolutely in a panic mode in the military, manufacturing drones as fast
00:41:39.460
And we need a lot of pilots, even if the pilot is just putting in the coordinates.
00:41:51.880
Where would you train if you had new drones with new technology, and you had to quickly
00:42:07.040
So, if you're an NPC, and I say these might be training missions, you say, Scott, let me
00:42:15.900
tell you with my vast NPC knowledge that if you're going to have a training facility, it's
00:42:20.960
not going to be over the densest populated place in the country.
00:42:28.960
And then you could test all day in your remote location.
00:42:38.840
That would be if you needed to do a little bit of training for a few drones.
00:42:46.500
If you were going to do a little bit of training for a few drones, and you weren't in any hurry,
00:42:52.920
you would find a nice remote location, and you would do all your training for your handful
00:43:02.080
However, if you decided that drones are the future of warfare, there's no such thing as
00:43:09.800
You're making them as fast as you can, and you don't have enough pilots for them.
00:43:15.880
Do you wait until you've got a nice remote place and move all of the assets that you need
00:43:20.340
for testing, which would include a battleship, or not a battleship, but some aquatic military
00:43:29.160
asset that they can launch it from, because most of them are launched from ships.
00:43:35.100
So you need someplace that's close enough to the coast.
00:43:37.900
So that rules down a lot of your remote locations.
00:43:42.820
You need, ideally, all right, here's where my Dilbert experience comes in.
00:43:47.500
You've got brand new drones, a new, let's say, new class of drones, and they're being, and
00:44:00.440
The manufacturer of the drones has to be wherever they're being tested, in a big way.
00:44:08.100
It's not like, well, we sent one of our engineers to your remote location.
00:44:14.560
No, they would put massive staff anywhere there's being testing and training.
00:44:23.260
And they would do it not just in a remote location, but NPCs, here's where you get your
00:44:31.320
Yes, they would test some drones in remote locations.
00:44:36.780
If they have massive need for training and massive need for drones, what else would they
00:44:42.920
They would train right here, because it's the fastest, and everything's here.
00:44:49.320
If you train on the drones in New Jersey, what do you have?
00:44:53.140
You've got the fleet, so you can fly from ships and ocean, because the ships are here, and
00:45:01.540
You have military bases that you can fly back and forth to, which is very much what you'd
00:45:07.040
be doing with a drone, sometimes transporting, but other times just finding a target.
00:45:12.120
And you would be going over lots of residential areas, and it would be easier, it would be
00:45:19.340
probably far more beneficial to train where there's a lot going on in the ground, so that
00:45:27.840
And you would also probably train at night, because most of the missions would be at night,
00:45:33.800
because if they turn their lights off, they're hard to see, and therefore hard to shoot down.
00:45:38.900
Now, if you're only 1,000 feet up, so give me a fact check on this.
00:45:44.180
If you're 1,000 feet in the air, and you're a drone, can you be hit by small arms fire?
00:45:52.840
Can somebody just put their machine gun in the air and just start shooting in your general
00:45:58.040
direction if you're a drone and you're only 1,000 feet in the air?
00:46:02.420
So it seems to me that they have the option of turning on lights if they're operating in
00:46:07.260
America, and they have the option of turning off the lights if they're in a danger zone.
00:46:13.860
So they would train at night, because that would be the best time to do missions, and
00:46:19.560
they would train in the United States, even in populated areas, because that's where all
00:46:25.940
That's where the manufacturer is, it's where the base is, it's where the Navy is just off
00:46:30.580
the coast. So what you should see is on both coasts of the United States, lots and lots of
00:46:38.740
drones in the air, because the coasts are where you have all the assets and you can kind of
00:46:48.360
And again, if you only had a few pilots and a few drones, and you weren't in any big hurry,
00:46:53.700
you would go to some remote desert location and train as long as you wanted. We're not in that
00:47:00.140
situation. We're in the, we need as many as we can get right away. Training is critical as fast as you
00:47:06.800
can. You would do that in the coast, because that's where all the assets are. More importantly,
00:47:12.980
if one of these drones goes down, you don't want it to be on a foreign country, because they're going
00:47:17.780
to get a hold of it first, and they're going to reverse engineer it, because you can't trust the
00:47:22.600
other country, even an allied country. You couldn't trust them totally. So everything makes
00:47:27.900
sense for training. And then you're going to say, but why would you do it over in an urban area?
00:47:35.380
To which I say, have you noticed that when people say they're hovering, it's never over their house
00:47:42.180
in an urban area? But if they're passing by, it is often over an urban area. So my guess would be
00:47:50.200
that the drones are as, let's say, as good a quality as all the other aircraft that can fly over
00:47:59.320
your city. So if a regular aircraft can fly over your city, and a drone has the same, let's say,
00:48:07.280
reliability, and it's not in war, and it's not doing any, it's not doing any maneuvers, it's just flying
00:48:12.420
over, that that would be allowed. As far as I know, that's completely legal to fly over a city with a
00:48:19.280
drone that's obeying all the rules. It's high enough and low enough. It's got the lights on,
00:48:26.680
and maybe it registered its flight path or whatever it has to do. So when you hear they're doing things
00:48:34.020
like hovering, which might be misidentified, by the way, sometimes it might look like it's hovering.
00:48:39.540
It's only because it's coming in your direction from a distance, from a great distance. It would look
00:48:44.280
like it's stationary. So some of it might be misinterpretation. But my guess is, if what
00:48:50.320
they're doing is training, they might be doing the dangerous stuff over the ocean, just like you would
00:48:56.000
want them to do, you know, see if you could do figure eights and whatever. But if you need to just
00:49:01.520
go back to base, let's say to get charged up or deliver something, you're just going a straight line
00:49:08.500
at the height you should. And maybe that's what people see in the cities. So no real danger,
00:49:14.160
as far as I can tell, because they're not sending up experimental drones over the city. They would be
00:49:21.260
sending up things that are really, really, really well flight tested and not in any specific danger.
00:49:30.360
So we're ruling out sniffing for radiation because it's just not the way you would do it. It wouldn't
00:49:38.300
be optimal for that. And the other thing is, we've heard that the flights seem to stop around 11 p.m.
00:49:45.600
every night, but they've been going for months. What possible thing would you do that you would do
00:49:53.160
massively as soon as it's dark, but you'd be done by 11 p.m.? That really suggests training.
00:50:00.360
Because if they were sniffing for, if they were looking for terrorists or looking for something,
00:50:06.820
they would do it after 12. If it were some, if it were such a national emergency that they would
00:50:12.880
put this much energy into it, they would work after midnight because it would be something existential
00:50:19.420
to at least New Jersey. If they're taking you off at 11 saying, all right, looks like it's quitting time.
00:50:25.460
I'll see everybody, uh, not in the morning, not in the morning, but rather when it gets dark again,
00:50:31.920
that sounds like business as usual to me. So, and, and even if you look at the theory that it's a
00:50:42.120
PSYOP, even a PSYOP, you could save a lot of money compared to what they're doing.
00:50:47.480
If what you wanted to do was a PSYOP where you've got lots of, you know, lots of drones in the air,
00:50:53.660
did you need 50? Did you need 50? No, not really. You could do a PSYOP with three drones
00:51:02.340
and you just have those three drones buzz one city that's near, near enough to DC that somebody hears
00:51:10.140
about it. Um, I see your question, ex boss man, but I'm not going to repeat it. It is funny.
00:51:22.880
All right. I'm going to repeat it because it's funny. Yeah. In the comments, somebody used the, uh,
00:51:29.760
the impolite word for people who are shorter than average, um, but said that the, that there seems to
00:51:39.060
be a shortage of little people. Are we sure we're, are we sure that the little people that we saw more
00:51:45.560
often in public have not just become drew and drone pilots, which is actually, it's like funny,
00:51:56.040
but the more you think about it, the more you think, well, why not? I mean, if jockeys,
00:52:03.340
if you pick jockeys because of their weight and their height, wouldn't you also pick drone pilots,
00:52:11.280
if you had a tiny little drone, wouldn't you also pick them by their height and weight?
00:52:17.080
And if the little person was, you know, fully functional in every way except height,
00:52:23.840
and you've got a 10 foot long, uh, drone, maybe, I don't think that's the thing, but
00:52:31.960
all right. So if it's true, they're really stopping at about 11 o'clock every night. I would
00:52:38.340
think that that's pretty good evidence that it's a training, a training mission. So the only thing
00:52:43.960
that seems unusual is the quantity of it. And I disagree with, um, Kinzinger. Um, I, I had the
00:52:52.860
same experience as Kinzinger and I want you to hear this clearly, right? Because later if you,
00:52:58.460
if, if, if I get something wrong and later you attack me, I want to, I want to make sure you hear
00:53:02.820
this part. I have personally seen no video that looked like anything, but an airplane.
00:53:12.300
Some video I've seen that clearly were not airplanes, but were far more likely a artifact of how it was
00:53:19.360
filmed. Or sometimes they came from years ago. Um, sometimes you can't tell what the source is,
00:53:26.100
but everything that had a source I can identify, they look like normal aircraft to me. Now what
00:53:35.940
people say is, no, Scott, what you're noticing, what you're not seeing is how many of them are,
00:53:41.480
there are acting strange and how low they are and they, and they're loud, et cetera, but I'm not there
00:53:47.400
in person. So my, my belief that these are not regular airplanes is based on credible people,
00:53:56.780
you know, people in the, in one case, somebody I know personally, um, who say, no, I stood there.
00:54:04.140
Trust me, they're definitely not airplanes. So I don't believe any of the videos because I personally
00:54:11.220
have never seen any credible video of anything that looked anything, but the commercial airplane
00:54:17.200
with a person running it. Now there might've been some hobby drones that look like hobby drones,
00:54:23.240
but that's not what the problem is. So as clearly as I can, let me say, I haven't seen anything that
00:54:30.540
looks like the drone. I've only seen things that look like airplanes to me, but I do trust.
00:54:38.840
I do trust the reports because you saw the reporter for news. I think it was news nation reporter
00:54:45.620
said, Oh, I was poo-pooing it myself until I saw it myself. Like, Oh, I'm completely convinced
00:54:50.860
there's something going on here. So those are the people that I'm choosing to believe at the moment.
00:54:59.660
Could all of those trustworthy people be in some kind of, uh, you know, um, mass hysteria?
00:55:07.680
Yes. Yes, I could. I think it's unlikely though. I'm usually the one who's the first one to say
00:55:16.380
mass hysteria. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I jumped to mass hysteria right
00:55:21.900
away for stuff like this, but I'm not there on this one. I wouldn't say I wouldn't never be there.
00:55:28.780
However, it wouldn't take a lot to push me into mass hysteria, but I'm not there yet. I think it's
00:55:37.980
just training, but it does suggest that there would be a big battle that we're expecting. And I expect
00:55:43.780
that that might have something to do with Iran. So we'll see. Uh, meanwhile, Mitt Romney had some good
00:55:51.400
things to say about, uh, Trump's success. Um, Mitt Romney was on some, he was talking to Grace today
00:55:58.940
on CNN. And he said, uh, that the Republican party is basically the, the MAGA party. He said that Trump
00:56:09.400
succeeded in making the Republicans the party of the middle class. And that's the kill shot right there.
00:56:15.860
If you're a Republican and you can acknowledge, which I would agree is true, that Trump has
00:56:22.620
successfully moved, um, what is middle class over to the, at least enough of it over to the Republican
00:56:30.200
side. You can't take that away from him and you can't be Republican and say that sucked. You just have
00:56:37.320
to say, we always wanted to do this. Nobody did it except Trump. Trump gets the win. And I like that
00:56:45.620
Mittney, who has plenty of reasons to be anti-Trump because they haven't gotten along. He has plenty
00:56:52.060
of reasons. He decided that under the current situation that he's going to be pro success.
00:56:59.460
So he didn't say he's pro Trump. He said that Trump has succeeded in ways that are important
00:57:05.140
and that, uh, probably J.D. Vance will be the 2028 nominee because he's well, well-spoken and he's
00:57:12.100
worked with him. Apparently, um, Romney had had some really bad words about J.D. Vance in the past.
00:57:18.760
And I loved what, I loved what, uh, Romney said about that. So when it was brought up that he had
00:57:28.220
said some really pretty bad stuff about J.D. Vance, he said that was long ago. He said it was long ago.
00:57:35.420
And since then, I've worked with him. Good. That's a good answer. I like the answer. It was
00:57:41.880
long ago. Because that shows me somebody who can get over something. If you tell me that, yeah, I,
00:57:50.280
I was not happy with this, but that was long ago. I just think, oh, you have a, you have a workable
00:57:56.000
brain that when new information comes in, you can change your mind. I like that. Yeah. Long ago,
00:58:02.140
I used to think this. Now I think that no more questions. I have no further questions. If it
00:58:07.300
was long ago, you changed your mind. Okay. Um, and so he says Trump deserves legitimate credit for
00:58:16.240
expanding the party. Uh, he says that the party and Republicans are maggot now, no question.
00:58:22.340
And then he went further and he said that the Democrats, he said, he said the Democrats are in
00:58:27.960
trouble. I don't know how they recover. Now that mirrors what I said. So I've been saying it's not
00:58:36.240
just that the Democrats are down, but normally when a party is down, it's obvious how they would
00:58:42.080
recover. Oh, well, just, you know, tweak your policies, get a better candidate. You'll be fine
00:58:47.380
next time. It doesn't look like it this time, does it? It looks like they've destroyed the very
00:58:53.080
structure of everything. And so Mindy says, yeah, uh, they lost their base union members leaving.
00:59:00.520
And now people see Democrats as college professors and quote woke scolds. I love those two words
00:59:08.580
together. Woke scolds. It's okay to be woke. And sometimes it's okay to be a scold, but if you're
00:59:19.220
scolding me about wokeness, we're not, we're not going to be friends. I can take a scolding and get
00:59:26.820
over it. And you know, some wokeness I can even accept, but nope, don't be a woke scold. That's as bad
00:59:35.960
as you can get. Meanwhile, Governor Whitmer, Democrat, um, says she's, uh, willing to work with
00:59:44.460
President Trump. She said, quote, I know Donald Trump cares about Michigan. Fox News is reporting.
00:59:51.220
Now, people are talking about this in ways I've never heard people talk about it, meaning working
00:59:58.900
with the other side. Who says it this way? Who says I know Trump cares about Michigan?
01:00:07.220
Isn't that a sort of extreme for politics? I mean, extremely friendly. Normally you would say
01:00:14.420
something like, well, uh, I don't like anything Trump's doing, but you know, it's my job to work
01:00:20.000
with him. So we'll, we'll do as well as we can. Isn't that usually all you say? Normally you just
01:00:26.680
say, I'll do the best I can. You know, it's my job, but she went so far as to say that Trump cares
01:00:32.700
about Michigan. That is not a gift you'd want to give to your enemy. Now it could be that because he
01:00:41.380
can't run for office again, but she's clearly setting him up for success. Since when did the
01:00:47.920
Democrat governors set up Trump for success? At least in the wording. Anyway, so to me, that was
01:00:57.800
remarkable. And then, uh, you probably know the story, but there's a Democrat mega donor, um,
01:01:04.600
named, uh, Lindy, Lindy Lee, who's kind of turned on the Democrats for wasting a billion dollars and
01:01:10.540
not getting elected. And she's getting a lot of, uh, attention lately. Gateway Pundit is reporting on
01:01:17.740
this. And, but she says the Democrats now have quote, a stench of loser hanging over the party
01:01:23.680
and that people are pissed at Obama. Now that's funny. The stench of losing is so heavy
01:01:31.080
that people are mad at like a guy, two presidents ago. They're so mad that they're mad at a guy
01:01:39.260
two presidents ago and they're pissed and they want their billion dollars back, I think. Um,
01:01:47.380
so that's, that's worth noting, but, uh, I heard some, some, uh, idea that, uh, maybe Lindy Lee would run
01:01:57.780
for governor of California. And if she did, she might be running at least in the primary against
01:02:05.340
Kamala Harris. Now others have said that now Kamala Harris has not shown direct interest in running for
01:02:12.480
governor, but everybody thinks it's sort of a, the most natural best thing she could do. Um,
01:02:18.480
I heard somebody say that if she entered the race, it would clear the field, meaning people would just
01:02:23.920
say, Oh, she's going to win. There's no point in running. That might be right. She, she might clear
01:02:30.620
the field and the, the Democrats might say, you know, we just need to prop her up. And that's all you
01:02:37.680
would need in California. You would just need the Democrats to say yes. Anyway. So if you got Mitt Romney
01:02:45.800
say, I'll give him a chance. You've got a Whitmer saying, I'll give him a chance. You've got a DNC
01:02:50.860
mega donor saying, wow, the Democrats ruined everything. She's not quite saying I'll give
01:02:55.900
Trump a chance, but she gets it. She understands why you won. Meanwhile, Daniel Baldwin, uh, brother
01:03:03.320
of the other Baldwins was on the PVD podcast. And he claims that, uh, I guess it's common knowledge
01:03:12.180
in Hollywood that the celebrity inner circles are saying that LeBron James does have a ditty tape
01:03:20.200
and that it was already purchased on the black market. So that somebody already owns LeBron
01:03:26.840
James because they own the blackmail tape that LeBron James would really like to own. How much
01:03:32.640
do you think LeBron James would pay for a ditty party tape that showed him doing, we imagine
01:03:41.220
something he wouldn't want them to see? How much do you think he'd pay? Well, it would depend,
01:03:48.620
of course, on what was on the video, because it could range. It could range from, oh, we don't
01:03:55.580
like that you do that to, um, why are you in jail? So we don't know what it is. So I won't, I guess I
01:04:03.760
shouldn't speculate. Um, but this would be, this would be massive story. Can you imagine? Can you
01:04:14.940
imagine if these were really for sale? Imagine if you were Elon Musk and you're sitting there and you
01:04:22.080
read the news and you see that the LeBron tape is for sale. And you say to yourself, if I just make a
01:04:30.540
post on X saying, I'm willing to buy it, uh, I wonder what would happen because he wouldn't care
01:04:39.020
about the cost, right? You could just pay whatever he wants, but he could own the, he could own LeBron.
01:04:43.920
If you see LeBron start to back, uh, MAGA, it means that Musk is the one who bought his, his blackmail
01:04:55.860
tape. Now that would be funny. Now here's the way to do it. If you end up buying LeBron's blackmail
01:05:05.520
tape, and let's say what you want him to do is, you know, back Republicans, let's say, um,
01:05:11.640
you don't want to be illegal and say, uh, LeBron, I will blackmail you if you don't do what I want.
01:05:19.340
That's illegal. You go to jail for that. So you go the opposite way. You say, LeBron, good news.
01:05:26.620
I bought, I bought the tape. So it's off the market. And LeBron might say, oh, good. So you'll
01:05:31.940
destroy it, right? And then you say, well, I didn't want to destroy it, but I've taken it off the
01:05:38.000
market. You don't have to worry about it, but you could just change your mind and show it to somebody
01:05:44.880
anytime you wanted, right? I could, but, but I wouldn't do that because I like you, LeBron.
01:05:50.680
You and I are good friends, by the way. Uh, I'd like to chat some more, but I'm going off to a Trump
01:05:56.720
rally. Uh, my good friends, uh, we're all in MAGA. Uh, they say hi. And you'd be very close to LeBron
01:06:05.920
becoming a Republican just to make sure that the video didn't get out. Now to be clear, I don't want
01:06:13.240
to malign LeBron. I personally have no knowledge that he did anything wrong or that even any tape
01:06:20.240
exists. So I'm not confirming that there's anything he did wrong or any tape exists. And I'm hoping that
01:06:27.620
there is none. I hope they use a perfect law abiding citizen and it will always be that way.
01:06:34.940
But I'm just telling you how to blackmail somebody. You don't say the words. You just own the tape and
01:06:41.500
say, you know, I own your tape. I sure like Trump. So don't take my advice for it. If you become a
01:06:48.500
blackmailer, it's probably illegal no matter how you do it. Um, Mike Davis, who's a Republican
01:06:56.300
attorney type we see in social media a lot. He says, uh, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and his team
01:07:01.580
illegally conspired to violate the constitutional rights of Americans. He said, so did Jack Smith,
01:07:06.780
Fonnie Willis, Tish James, Chris Mays, Matthew Graves, their offices. He says they must face a
01:07:13.380
federal criminal probe under some law. And then they said, I like that Republicans are ironically or
01:07:22.180
jokingly, sarcastically saying no one's above the law, you know, cause I say it a lot too. Cause I
01:07:27.880
think it's funny now. But, um, as much as I don't like lawfare and I would not want to be associated
01:07:36.600
with anybody who pursued it. I think the names that he named have done enough in public that looks
01:07:44.920
sketchy enough to me that if these particular ones get, I don't want to say law fared,
01:07:51.420
but investigated, that would be appropriate. And my, my sense of, you know, what is right and ethical
01:07:58.620
and moral and gives enough freedom to the country, but not too much. Yeah, they should be investigated.
01:08:06.260
It does feel like there were crimes there and big ones. Like we're not talking about jaywalking.
01:08:11.320
If it were jaywalking, I'd say, eh, who cares? Um, we're talking about something that was going
01:08:17.020
to change the very nature of the country forever and maybe destroy it. It wasn't, they, they were an
01:08:23.100
existential threat to the entire country, in my opinion, because a few more years of Democrats,
01:08:28.440
I think would have been, been the end of us just in terms of national debt, if nothing else.
01:08:33.720
Here's the funniest story of the day. Um, back when Biden took over, when he first got elected,
01:08:43.860
he fired some of 4,000, uh, Trump appointees. One of them was, uh, Spicer. Um,
01:08:56.520
so what's his first name? Why am I forgetting Spicer's first name? Um, who worked for Trump and he was one
01:09:06.540
of those people has, uh, tell me Spicer's first name. Uh, Sean Spicer. Yeah. Thank you. So Sean Spicer.
01:09:21.480
Um, so he was one of the people who got fired by Biden. So he took it to court to try to get it
01:09:29.520
reversed. Or did he? So he took it to court that he got fired by Biden. And he argued that because
01:09:40.340
the, the appointment had some kind of a term to it, that he couldn't be fired until the term was over.
01:09:46.220
But the, the court, the judge specifically, he ruled that the, the president could fire him.
01:09:54.900
So Sean Spicer challenged Biden, uh, but Biden won. So it turns out that Biden could fire him,
01:10:03.460
even though Trump had put him in a position at a term. Now this is important because there might be
01:10:10.300
people that Trump wants to fire that also were appointed by Biden and also have terms.
01:10:17.180
Here's the funny part. The reason that Sean Spicer challenged it was not because he wanted his job
01:10:25.880
back in the Biden administration. He challenged it so he could lose the case because in so losing,
01:10:34.740
he would know that the next Republican who came in could fire all the Democrats in those jobs.
01:10:39.600
And so they will. So the claim, uh, and I'll put it in a quote from, uh, Sean, uh, what no one ever
01:10:51.000
understood was that this was not about actually getting back, uh, on the board, meaning the job he
01:10:56.200
had, because my term had been, uh, had been expired for months. No, uh, it was forcing them to argue in the
01:11:03.440
affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did.
01:11:08.420
And the court accepted it. So basically Trump has that power now 40, 40 chess right there.
01:11:19.260
That's some 40 chess. By the way, there is probably still time to get your Dilbert calendar. If you go
01:11:26.960
to Dilbert.com and follow the link to the sales page, it's the only place you can get it. Can't get
01:11:32.440
it from Amazon. Can't get it from a store only from that one online source. So we have, uh, what,
01:11:39.060
uh, uh, uh, nine days till Christmas. The odds of getting it in nine days are not a hundred percent,
01:11:46.100
not a hundred percent, but you'd almost certainly get it before January 1st.
01:11:51.360
So if there's somebody, you know, who just can't live without a Dilbert calendar,
01:11:54.800
uh, and you don't absolutely have to have it wrapped under the tree, you got plenty of time.
01:12:05.800
Um, and, uh, I've also got a number of books. The one that will change people's lives that
01:12:11.200
they haven't seen is reframe your brain. This one is on Amazon with my other books, like
01:12:16.000
when Biggley is re updated. That's one that tells you how Trump uses his persuasion.
01:12:21.720
And then how to fail at almost everything and still win big. The second edition,
01:12:25.980
the one with the blue cover, um, people love it. I guarantee that. And also God's debris,
01:12:33.340
the complete works. If you look at all my books, you'll find something for everybody.
01:12:37.380
So something for everybody this Christmas. And I guarantee if they're readers, they'll like them.
01:12:43.840
Um, Democrats or not. And I guarantee if they're ever liked to Dilbert, they'll like the calendar.
01:12:49.800
Um, you can't lose. Um, you can't lose. And I would like to give you two Christmas
01:12:55.840
recommendations that I have no, I have no connection to. Okay. So that I have no financial
01:13:04.800
connection to them. These are just things that I like a lot. Number one, you may have noticed I often
01:13:11.800
wear this back warmer in the morning. I love this back warmer. I, if you've never experienced wearing
01:13:19.600
a back warmer, it's really feels really good. So I started wearing it cause I had some, you know,
01:13:27.000
just a back strain a few weeks ago. It's all good. Now my back is great, but I keep wearing it cause I
01:13:32.560
like it. I just love how it feels. It makes my back feel better. The other thing for the same
01:13:38.860
purpose was I got a, uh, uh, one of these incline tables where it holds you upside down by your
01:13:47.040
ankles. Now you probably say to yourself, I don't think I want to try that. That sounds dangerous.
01:13:51.520
And what if I can't get back up? Well, the one I got as an option to go back 60%. So you're never
01:13:58.560
really, you don't feel like you're out of control and it doesn't stretch your body too much, but it
01:14:02.880
feels great. It feels great. So I think it's helping with my back cause my back has never felt better.
01:14:11.800
Literally it's never felt better in my entire adult life. And it's called a teeter. So that's the model.
01:14:20.300
Now I only, I only know I bought one and I'm really happy with it, but it's spelled T E E T E R.
01:14:27.820
They have several models. You can see them on Amazon. So I recommend them if anybody has a,
01:14:33.240
any kind of a back problem for which that would be indicated, but I'm no doctor. So don't use it
01:14:39.180
unless you're sure that it would be safe for you. Then my last advice is, this is a weird one. If you
01:14:46.600
do any, any kind of, uh, um, video like zoom or you do podcasting, there's something you need really
01:14:55.880
badly. And you see one, you see behind me in my back shoulder, there's a, it's a printer stand.
01:15:03.100
So if you went to Amazon and you said, search for printer stands, it would be something that sits
01:15:08.460
above your keyboard, I guess, or something. You put something under it. You can put paper under it,
01:15:13.400
but it turns out it works perfectly for raising your computer to eye level. So right now, if you're
01:15:20.860
looking at me on, on video, you can see that I'm the perfect level. If I took this away,
01:15:26.420
which people make the mistake of doing, I got to talk to Alan Dershowitz. He needs one of these badly.
01:15:33.440
So this is without it. So you're looking up. The looking up is not so good. And the looking down
01:15:42.020
is even worse. So there are different heights. So depending on the height of your table and the
01:15:47.780
height of your chair. Um, so I got two of them. One, one is a little taller than this one. So I use
01:15:56.240
one in the man cave and one here. So watch how much better it is when I raise it back up.
01:16:00.860
There you go. Perfect. Now here's a, here's another one. Um, I got a, I don't know what they're
01:16:18.360
called. Like a desk pad or something. Desk pad, but I'll show it to you. So it's sort of a, a soft
01:16:33.620
long thing. It just sits, it sits where you're working. I don't know if you have this problem,
01:16:44.360
but do you have a cold elbow problem? Anybody have that? Like you want to work on your kitchen
01:16:51.440
table or something? You want to work on the kitchen table and you put your laptop there
01:16:56.160
and then you put your, your arms on the surface and it's too cold. Well, this will keep your arms
01:17:03.900
warm, but also it's soft. So if you're doing a podcast, it removes this, uh, this whole area of,
01:17:11.660
uh, whole area of echo because my microphone is just above it. And so it removes the echo
01:17:18.820
and it looks kind of good and it just feels good leaning on it and using it. So I have two of them
01:17:25.040
and they're, they're awesome. Uh, the other one, if, if you know somebody who's into drawing,
01:17:31.680
uh, but they can't afford a big, big Wacom 27 inch thing, which would be, I don't know, $3,000,
01:17:39.940
something like that. Uh, if they want something that's under a thousand,
01:17:43.560
but they're serious about drawing, so it's not a, it's not a kid's toy. Um, get the move ink.
01:17:51.900
That's the little, uh, drawing tablet that I use now. And it's also sold by Wacom,
01:17:57.620
but it's M O V I N K. So if you go to the Wacom site, W A C O M and search for the move ink
01:18:08.220
device, it's really cool because it's really light and it works really well.
01:18:13.420
Um, if you need, yeah, if you need a Scott Adams merchandise, uh, and you don't know the link,
01:18:24.000
just search for coffee with Scott Adams merchandise and it will pop up with the, uh, the mugs and the,
01:18:34.600
uh, hoodies and the shirts and the hats. Uh, I don't recommend that gift for anybody except,
01:18:41.940
uh, consumers of this content. All right. So you got enough ideas. So you got the Dilbert books.
01:18:50.160
I guarantee the Dilbert, one of those Dilbert books will be, make somebody really happy.
01:18:56.460
You just have to pick which one makes more sense for that person. Um, the Dilbert calendar,
01:19:01.760
the inversion table, the desk pad, and then what's called a printer stand, but it's better for your
01:19:10.140
zooming, getting your computer to the right height for zooming. Those are the things that might make
01:19:16.540
people happy. Some of my favorite, favorite possessions. They work really well. All right.
01:19:23.800
I'm going to talk to the, uh, locals people privately for a minute. Uh, thanks for joining everybody on the
01:19:30.840
other platforms, Rumble and X and YouTube, even though YouTube had some problems today, I hear.
01:19:37.620
All right. Locals. I'm coming at you privately in 30 seconds.
