Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2697 CWSA 12⧸22⧸24

00:00:00.440 It's coming for you. You don't even have to come for the show. It's coming for you.

00:00:06.720 Let me get my comments working here. Excellent.

00:00:20.500 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:30.000 It's called The Coffee with Scott Adams, and while those other podcasters are sleeping in on Sunday,

00:00:36.720 I'm with you, giving you that free entertainment that you demand.

00:00:42.320 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:48.440 all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker gels or stein, a canteen jug or flask or vessel of any kind,

00:00:54.080 fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:56.480 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:01.020 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:03.080 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:06.640 Go.

00:01:06.880 Oh, that's good.

00:01:13.900 That's good.

00:01:17.240 Well, we've got news, and we've got fake news today.

00:01:20.500 We've got all kinds of news.

00:01:22.040 Real stuff, fake stuff, you know, the usual stuff.

00:01:25.200 So there's a study, according to SciPost, that each additional fast food meal you eat per week

00:01:33.360 is associated with a 4% higher likelihood of depression.

00:01:38.760 So 4% higher depression rate if you eat at least one fast food meal per week.

00:01:47.020 Does that sound like real science to you?

00:01:50.560 Or does it sound like backwards science?

00:01:56.700 Backwards science.

00:01:58.640 Well, I can only speak for myself here, but I suspect this might be generalizable.

00:02:05.000 When I ate fast food when I was a younger adult, I don't do it anymore.

00:02:11.900 But when I did, I would do it for the enjoyment.

00:02:15.000 I'd do it for the dopamine.

00:02:17.540 I didn't really do it for the food.

00:02:20.580 It was because it just felt so good.

00:02:23.320 So who would likely eat unhealthy food just to make themselves feel better?

00:02:29.260 Probably somebody who's, you know, trending toward depressed or sad.

00:02:34.800 So I've got a feeling that the reason people eat it is because they're already feeling not 100%.

00:02:40.220 So I'm not so sure it's the food makes them sad.

00:02:45.000 So much as being sad makes you eat things that are unhealthy, but it sure feels good when you do it.

00:02:51.880 Now, this is part of my hypothesis.

00:02:56.280 It's the pleasure unit theory.

00:02:58.500 I call it a theory, but it's a hypothesis.

00:03:02.480 And the idea is that everybody needs a minimum amount of enjoyment or else it's just not worth living.

00:03:10.020 And if you can't get enjoyment in legal and healthy ways, you will get it another way.

00:03:16.340 And this might be one of those examples.

00:03:18.060 So I think it might be, at least partially, backward science.

00:03:23.960 So some robots are learning to maybe determine how humans feel, their emotional state, by touching.

00:03:32.620 So they figured out how to get sort of a galvanic skin response mechanism in the fingers of a robot.

00:03:40.240 This is all experimental.

00:03:42.960 But the idea is that apparently you can tell people's emotional state by their galvanic skin response.

00:03:51.060 Now, this is according to live science.

00:03:56.320 And maybe.

00:03:59.040 But here's what I think.

00:04:00.340 Why don't robots do it the way people do it?

00:04:04.740 Because people can tell people's emotional state.

00:04:07.860 We look at their body language.

00:04:10.200 We look at their eyes.

00:04:11.760 We look at their face.

00:04:12.800 We look at their smile.

00:04:14.320 We listen to the exact words they choose.

00:04:19.920 And those are all patterns.

00:04:22.040 So basically, humans have pattern recognition.

00:04:24.180 And the pattern recognition allows us to know how other people are feeling, unless they're trying really hard to hide it from us.

00:04:33.600 So I would think that the robots are 100% likely to deal with humans as emotional creatures.

00:04:42.020 Because they'll just know what that means.

00:04:43.700 And they'll know how to deal with it.

00:04:44.800 And they'll recognize the patterns.

00:04:46.220 And they'll see if the irises of your eyes are larger or smaller.

00:04:50.860 They'll look for all those little cues.

00:04:52.120 By the way, it's the same thing I learned in hypnosis.

00:04:55.920 When you learn hypnosis, you learn to read people's micro changes.

00:05:01.220 You know, tiny changes in skin tone and, you know, eyes and stuff like that.

00:05:06.400 It's very useful.

00:05:07.780 It's a learnable skill.

00:05:11.540 According to Zero Hedge, Trump says he plans to continue aid to Ukraine.

00:05:16.680 But he wants to raise NATO's spending limit to 5% from 2%.

00:05:22.440 So at the moment, NATO countries are supposed to donate 2% of their GDP toward NATO.

00:05:29.400 And Trump wants to pump that up.

00:05:32.340 And I assume that means that the United States would save some money.

00:05:36.420 Or would it?

00:05:37.340 Because if we spend 5% on NATO, that's just more spending.

00:05:44.420 But the critics will say, wait a minute.

00:05:48.200 I thought we voted for Trump to end this war.

00:05:51.020 You did.

00:05:53.060 But he says he's going to continue funding the Ukrainians to fight. 0.90

00:05:59.040 He did.

00:06:00.980 There's no conflict there.

00:06:02.340 Yes, he's going to negotiate an end to the war.

00:06:06.360 Yes, he wants to escalate the war.

00:06:09.980 Yes.

00:06:11.900 Because that's how you negotiate.

00:06:14.400 It's just negotiating.

00:06:16.440 So Russia needs to feel like he's in it for the long run.

00:06:20.780 And if they don't give him the deal he wants, he'll just keep fighting.

00:06:24.540 And we'll just keep sending drones over there. 0.99

00:06:26.760 And NATO will up its spending and we'll just grind the Russian army down. 0.68

00:06:35.060 Now, clearly, clearly, Trump would rather negotiate an end to the war.

00:06:42.900 But you don't get an end to the war if you say, I'm going to tell the Ukrainians they can't fight anymore. 1.00

00:06:49.900 That's sort of a bad beginning to a negotiation.

00:06:52.280 The best beginning to a negotiation is we're going to go harder at you.

00:06:58.120 And that's what he's saying.

00:06:59.520 So if you don't understand Trump as a negotiator, everything looks backwards.

00:07:03.800 It all looks upside down.

00:07:05.260 You're like, what?

00:07:06.380 I thought he was going to negotiate peace.

00:07:08.540 Why is he going to fund the war?

00:07:10.940 No, it's all the same thing.

00:07:12.200 It's just negotiating.

00:07:13.120 You heard the story about Russia allegedly was going to launch some cancer vaccine in 2025.

00:07:23.220 Newsweek's reporting on this.

00:07:25.060 So here's what we know.

00:07:26.400 It's not a vaccine.

00:07:28.760 So the first thing you need to know about the cancer vaccine from Russia, it's not a vaccine.

00:07:34.260 So it's not intended to prevent you from getting anything.

00:07:37.200 It's meant to treat people who already have something, and the described methodology is that they'd have to take a little biopsy of your tumor, and then they would concoct the vaccination to be specific to you.

00:07:54.180 And then they'd give it to you, and it would fight your cancer, they say.

00:07:58.160 But I did hear just one anecdotal report from somebody in a Russian hospital saying they don't know anything about it.

00:08:07.220 So I don't think I would place a big bet that this is real or that it would work.

00:08:15.700 But it's out there.

00:08:17.800 We'll see.

00:08:19.140 Meanwhile, Rumble, which some of you are watching me on right now, the Rumble platform,

00:08:25.780 they got $775 million investment from Tether.

00:08:30.400 Tether's a crypto outfit.

00:08:34.500 So according to Reclaim the Net.

00:08:37.820 And that's a lot of money.

00:08:41.020 How often does any company get $775 million investment?

00:08:46.060 So if you were worried that Rumble wasn't going to make it because it's sort of a free speech, you know, one of the last places you can find it,

00:08:56.320 looks like they're in pretty good shape right now.

00:08:59.100 I should tell you that I'm an investor in Rumble.

00:09:03.260 That's not why I'm telling you the story, but I am an investor.

00:09:07.020 So keep that in mind.

00:09:10.720 According to Axios, Democrat voters are five times more likely to exclude family members because of politics.

00:09:21.020 Now, fortunately, five times is not as much as it could have been.

00:09:26.400 So 23% of Democrats are willing to exclude Republicans in their family from family events.

00:09:37.160 But Republicans, only 5% of Republicans would do the same.

00:09:41.800 Only 5% versus 23%.

00:09:44.520 And independents are in the middle, of course, 11%.

00:09:47.400 Yeah, that's pretty messed up.

00:09:55.040 I wonder if that's true.

00:09:56.820 Do you buy that, 23%?

00:10:00.200 I feel like it might be more.

00:10:04.400 I think 23% might be the ones who admit it.

00:10:08.100 I feel like there might be people who say, I'm not going to invite you.

00:10:12.280 But then there must be other people who simply don't invite you.

00:10:18.240 They don't tell anybody.

00:10:19.680 They don't talk to a pollster.

00:10:21.280 But they're just not comfortable being around you anymore.

00:10:24.140 I think this is low, 23%.

00:10:26.480 I'll bet it's closer to half, if I had to guess.

00:10:31.420 Well, in the fake news category, the news is saying today, this is fake news, by the way,

00:10:36.340 that Jeff Bezos is going to marry his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, in what's being called a lavish

00:10:42.740 $600 million Aspen wedding.

00:10:47.440 So Bill Ackman was the first person I saw calling this out, because he can do math.

00:10:54.960 Do you know what's wrong with most news people?

00:10:57.840 Can't do math.

00:10:59.080 So they don't know what is real news and what's not real news.

00:11:02.340 As Bill Ackman pointed out, you couldn't possibly spend $600 million unless you bought a house

00:11:10.140 for every person who attended.

00:11:12.880 No, it's not $600 million.

00:11:16.640 If you saw that story, and for even one second, for even one second, you believed that Jeff Bezos

00:11:24.580 was going to spend $600 million on a wedding?

00:11:28.000 Well, he's already weighed in, and Jeff Bezos says there's not a single thing about it that's

00:11:34.240 true, which opens the possibility that there's no wedding at all, but it definitely debunks

00:11:40.420 the $600 million part.

00:11:42.360 No, there's no $600 million weddings.

00:11:46.420 How did anybody believe that?

00:11:49.400 No.

00:11:51.000 And, yeah, so we don't know if the wedding is on, but certainly the $600 million part is

00:11:56.940 off.

00:11:57.720 I suspect the Aspen part isn't real either, because Bezos said it was basically all false.

00:12:04.580 So, don't believe that.

00:12:08.140 I saw the best response to the narrative that the Democrats are trying to use, that Elon Musk

00:12:16.920 is, oh, he's the real president.

00:12:19.660 He's President Musk.

00:12:21.360 Oh, you know, they're trying to drive a wedge between Musk and Trump.

00:12:24.940 And here's the best that I saw.

00:12:29.220 Now, I didn't write down where this came from, so I'm stealing this from an influencer online

00:12:34.900 whose name I didn't get.

00:12:36.880 But here's the persuasion.

00:12:41.800 We did vote for Trump.

00:12:45.200 And we did vote for Trump to pick his advisors.

00:12:50.020 Yeah, we did vote for Trump and his advisors.

00:12:52.860 Now, technically, technically, you didn't vote for Elon Musk, but you totally voted for Donald

00:13:02.500 Trump and whoever he wants to work with.

00:13:05.160 And he wants to work with Elon Musk.

00:13:08.140 And you knew that.

00:13:10.020 You knew that.

00:13:11.140 You knew that before you voted.

00:13:13.600 So, surprise, you did vote for Elon Musk.

00:13:17.020 You didn't vote him for president, but you voted for him to do exactly what he's doing.

00:13:21.680 In effect, you voted for him.

00:13:23.660 Not technically, but in effect.

00:13:25.880 So, that's the best reframe I've seen on this.

00:13:29.060 Yeah, we always vote for the advisors.

00:13:31.900 We voted for Vivek.

00:13:33.300 We voted for J.D. Vance.

00:13:34.960 Even though he's vice president, you sort of vote for him.

00:13:38.600 We voted for Tulsi Gabbard.

00:13:40.960 We voted for RFK Jr. to do his thing.

00:13:43.640 And, yeah, I can tell you for sure that in my mind when I voted, I was voting for the team.

00:13:52.280 Were you?

00:13:53.920 Or did you think of yourself as voting for one person?

00:13:58.200 Because, you know, technically, you're voting for one person.

00:14:00.700 But, I mean, the appeal of it was who he could bring to the game.

00:14:06.620 So, yeah, we voted for him.

00:14:08.560 We absolutely voted for Musk indirectly.

00:14:11.360 CNN's ratings continues to make news how bad they are.

00:14:17.920 I would hate to be in the news business, but the news is about how bad your business is.

00:14:26.700 So, CNN probably doesn't cover the news about how bad their business is.

00:14:31.460 But their ratings for their key demographic, you know, 25 to 54-year-old people,

00:14:36.960 the CNN averaged only 93,000 viewers.

00:14:43.220 So, that must be per show or per hour, I guess.

00:14:48.780 93,000.

00:14:50.160 Do you know how many people are going to watch this live stream?

00:14:55.200 Probably 100,000.

00:14:56.400 If you count the audio on Spotify, and you count Rumble, and you count the X feed,

00:15:04.540 and you count YouTube, and you count Locals, so I'm on multiple platforms,

00:15:10.280 probably the live audience will be lower, but the nature of podcasts is they get replayed.

00:15:18.240 CNN largely doesn't get replayed.

00:15:21.180 At least the whole show doesn't get replayed.

00:15:23.100 So, is my podcast as big as CNN?

00:15:29.220 No.

00:15:29.920 Because here's what they never tell you.

00:15:32.060 When they tell you that CNN's ratings are low,

00:15:35.940 they're leaving out the main part of their business model.

00:15:40.580 The main part of their business model is clips.

00:15:44.600 If you follow the news at all,

00:15:47.100 you're going to see tons of clips taken from their shows.

00:15:51.360 So, when the live show of CNN is on,

00:15:55.540 I don't think even CNN expects you to watch it.

00:15:58.760 But they probably do expect you to be on social media and see the clips and all that.

00:16:04.140 So, they probably make more money from the clips. 0.53

00:16:07.820 And then, you know, they have advertising.

00:16:10.860 But as you've learned, especially the pharma advertisers,

00:16:14.880 are really just trying to make sure that CNN doesn't say bad things about them.

00:16:19.780 So, they advertise.

00:16:23.080 But I think they make most of their money.

00:16:25.240 I'll take a fact check on this.

00:16:27.000 But I think the cable news makes most of their money

00:16:29.720 by charging the cable providers for their content.

00:16:36.120 So, even though you pay just for cable access,

00:16:40.320 the cable company pays for a lot of their content,

00:16:43.780 and they're paying CNN to be on their cable.

00:16:45.740 Because if you offer a cable and you don't have CNN,

00:16:48.860 it would look like it's an incomplete product.

00:16:51.320 So, they kind of have to do it.

00:16:54.100 Anyway, so, whenever you see these news about numbers,

00:17:00.160 there's always something missing that's important.

00:17:03.320 And what's missing is that they don't get much revenue from the live viewership.

00:17:08.380 And it's about clips, and it's about charging the cable providers.

00:17:14.380 All right.

00:17:16.840 The What's Up With That, I think it's a blog or a web page,

00:17:23.400 by Anthony Watts.

00:17:26.640 He had an article out that says,

00:17:28.240 Hey, media, remember in 2017 when an iceberg in Antarctica freaked everybody out?

00:17:32.640 So, there was some giant iceberg in 2017 that, I guess, it cleaved itself off.

00:17:40.060 And then everybody said,

00:17:42.640 Oh, no, climate change is melting all the icebergs.

00:17:46.500 We're all dead.

00:17:48.160 And then, see, that was 2017.

00:17:51.260 In 2024, the current understanding is,

00:17:56.040 that was just a normal thing that's been happening all the time.

00:17:58.560 It has nothing to do with probably anything.

00:18:00.520 It was literally just baseline.

00:18:03.280 It was the most ordinary thing that happens all the time.

00:18:09.720 So, if you thought in 2017, my God, the world is melting,

00:18:15.820 you were wrong.

00:18:18.100 Climate change was,

00:18:19.740 most of the news about climate change is fake.

00:18:22.000 So, I think it's probably true that humans add to the heat of the world.

00:18:32.580 Whether that makes a difference,

00:18:34.180 or we're going to care about it in the long run,

00:18:36.340 or there's nothing we can do about it,

00:18:37.980 those are all the important questions.

00:18:40.320 But, boy, I would say the news about it is almost always fake.

00:18:45.300 Whether or not there's anything to it,

00:18:49.040 you know, whether or not there's any truth to it,

00:18:51.700 the news about it is just about always fake.

00:18:54.840 Because the news is looking for stories to support a narrative,

00:18:58.300 and there's always someone who's happy to give it to them.

00:19:03.940 Meanwhile, Laura Trump,

00:19:05.760 who people thought was going to run for the Senate,

00:19:09.160 and I think she announced she was looking into it,

00:19:11.840 for Florida,

00:19:14.560 she withdrew.

00:19:15.980 So, she wants to withdraw herself from consideration

00:19:18.580 for being a future senator for Florida.

00:19:22.280 She didn't give a reason,

00:19:24.060 but I'm going to speculate.

00:19:26.840 My speculation is

00:19:28.240 that it's not really an ideal time

00:19:31.180 if she has younger kids

00:19:33.980 to be in a job that

00:19:36.060 pretty much would absorb you

00:19:37.880 and make you move out of town

00:19:39.160 and fly around the world.

00:19:40.660 And, I don't know.

00:19:41.680 It probably just doesn't work with lifestyle,

00:19:43.880 is my guess.

00:19:45.240 So, I think she probably thinks she could win,

00:19:48.780 and she probably thinks

00:19:50.620 that she'd be good at it,

00:19:52.620 which I think.

00:19:54.080 So, I'm going to say probably later.

00:19:57.740 You know,

00:19:58.040 if the kids get older

00:20:00.160 and they're kind of self-sufficient,

00:20:02.800 maybe she takes a second look at it.

00:20:05.200 So, we'll see.

00:20:05.800 I'm just guessing.

00:20:08.800 I'm just guessing that lifestyle

00:20:10.320 and, you know,

00:20:11.700 keeping the family intact

00:20:13.120 is their higher priority,

00:20:15.180 but that's just a guess.

00:20:19.300 So, you heard the story

00:20:20.760 about Representative Kay Granger.

00:20:24.300 So, this is somebody

00:20:25.240 who's been in public life

00:20:27.560 for a long time

00:20:28.380 and is a representative in Congress,

00:20:31.720 but hasn't been there for six months.

00:20:33.460 And, when they finally figured out

00:20:35.620 where she was,

00:20:36.420 she was in a memory care facility.

00:20:39.940 So, she's completely checked out.

00:20:42.820 She's not coming back.

00:20:44.700 And, apparently,

00:20:46.360 her interns have been posting.

00:20:48.460 So, it seemed like she was,

00:20:50.380 you know,

00:20:50.860 on the job

00:20:51.440 because her interns 0.96

00:20:52.200 were posting on X.

00:20:54.000 And, the funniest thing is

00:20:56.460 the interns posted something

00:20:58.680 about how great the interns

00:21:00.460 were in her office

00:21:01.440 with a picture of them

00:21:02.360 all posing with her.

00:21:03.340 Must have been from the past.

00:21:05.160 So, the interns

00:21:06.200 who were running the account

00:21:07.260 were complimenting themselves

00:21:09.180 in the account.

00:21:12.500 Now, those are personal.

00:21:13.720 I like those interns. 0.99

00:21:15.940 As soon as I find out

00:21:17.100 that they were using

00:21:17.740 their privilege access

00:21:20.140 to a representative's account

00:21:22.320 to compliment themselves,

00:21:24.000 I said to myself,

00:21:25.700 hmm, approved.

00:21:27.640 Yeah, that sounds like

00:21:28.880 something I might do

00:21:29.780 if I were an intern.

00:21:33.140 Anyway,

00:21:34.540 so, I don't know

00:21:35.660 if we have a real government

00:21:36.940 or maybe they're all

00:21:37.860 in memory care by now.

00:21:40.260 So, there was a sighting

00:21:41.500 in the southeast United States,

00:21:43.520 something in the sky.

00:21:44.640 They don't know

00:21:45.040 if it was a satellite

00:21:45.980 burning up

00:21:47.500 and crashing

00:21:48.720 or if it was

00:21:49.480 some kind of a satellite,

00:21:51.700 I'm sorry,

00:21:52.140 a meteor or a satellite.

00:21:53.280 They don't know.

00:21:54.180 But I guess people

00:21:54.800 can see it in Kansas,

00:21:55.900 Arkansas, Tennessee,

00:21:57.100 Missouri, parts of Louisiana.

00:21:59.160 So, I saw the video of it

00:22:01.120 and it really looks scary

00:22:03.040 because it's, you know,

00:22:04.880 this flaming particles

00:22:06.240 coming through the sky

00:22:07.360 that look pretty big

00:22:08.900 and it was in multiple parts.

00:22:12.360 So, as far as I know,

00:22:13.920 we still don't know

00:22:14.620 what that was.

00:22:15.320 But if I were

00:22:17.540 a meteor chaser,

00:22:19.200 let me give you

00:22:19.740 a little financial advice.

00:22:21.760 If you could be

00:22:22.600 the first one

00:22:23.260 to find a meteor

00:22:24.120 and it's not

00:22:25.600 on somebody else's,

00:22:26.560 you know,

00:22:26.900 private property,

00:22:28.140 those meteors

00:22:29.220 are worth a lot of money.

00:22:31.380 Did you know that?

00:22:33.880 Yeah, they're worth,

00:22:35.680 you know,

00:22:35.980 it might be worth

00:22:36.620 a million dollars

00:22:37.380 if there was

00:22:37.900 a big chunk of it.

00:22:40.680 Or actually a lot more.

00:22:43.020 So, we'll see.

00:22:43.900 If I saw where

00:22:47.200 that was landing,

00:22:48.420 I would have been

00:22:49.280 driving toward

00:22:49.860 that thing so fast

00:22:50.880 because it's basically

00:22:52.420 just free money

00:22:53.200 laying on the ground

00:22:54.060 if it's intact.

00:22:55.360 If any of the parts

00:22:56.620 came through big enough

00:22:57.560 that there's a nice chunk.

00:22:59.900 Well, you probably

00:23:00.720 heard the story

00:23:01.400 that a U.S. jet,

00:23:04.220 military jet,

00:23:05.680 got shot down

00:23:06.640 by a military destroyer

00:23:09.680 in the Red Sea.

00:23:11.360 Now, I didn't see

00:23:13.640 as part of the story

00:23:14.540 what the,

00:23:16.160 it's an F-A-18,

00:23:19.180 so one of our

00:23:19.720 advanced jets,

00:23:22.260 the Super Hornet.

00:23:25.580 Anyway, so it got shot down

00:23:27.060 in what they call

00:23:28.420 a friendly fire,

00:23:29.860 which is sort of

00:23:31.180 the worst name

00:23:31.860 for your co-workers

00:23:33.360 trying to kill you

00:23:34.220 accidentally.

00:23:35.820 But the good news,

00:23:38.200 as somebody said,

00:23:39.000 is our,

00:23:39.900 apparently our

00:23:40.600 anti-aircraft

00:23:41.740 defenses are really good

00:23:43.980 because I think,

00:23:45.880 I think it only took

00:23:46.780 one missile

00:23:47.320 to take it down.

00:23:48.800 But the pilots

00:23:50.500 got out.

00:23:51.380 So the,

00:23:52.120 there were two people

00:23:53.360 in the plane

00:23:53.920 or the jet

00:23:54.940 and apparently

00:23:56.400 they ejected in time.

00:23:58.340 So I think

00:23:59.260 we're going to find out

00:24:00.060 more about this story.

00:24:01.360 On the surface,

00:24:03.940 it's sort of a

00:24:05.420 perfect bad anecdote

00:24:07.480 for the Biden

00:24:08.520 administration.

00:24:10.700 You know,

00:24:10.940 that by the end

00:24:12.240 of the Biden administration,

00:24:13.520 the military was

00:24:14.220 shooting at each other.

00:24:15.820 You know,

00:24:16.020 it just,

00:24:16.560 it's a little too perfect

00:24:18.020 as,

00:24:20.260 as a little,

00:24:21.000 you know,

00:24:22.280 as a little punctuation

00:24:23.720 at the end

00:24:24.240 of the sentence.

00:24:25.540 So I'm going to wait

00:24:26.600 on this one.

00:24:27.280 There might be more

00:24:28.080 to this story.

00:24:29.280 I feel a,

00:24:30.480 I have a suspicion

00:24:31.920 that there's a little

00:24:33.740 bit more to it

00:24:34.580 and maybe we'll never know,

00:24:35.820 but I don't know.

00:24:39.100 Maybe it's a DEI problem.

00:24:40.740 We'll never know.

00:24:42.980 Trump provocatively

00:24:44.220 has put out a notice

00:24:45.800 on social media

00:24:47.560 that Panama Canal

00:24:49.200 either needs to

00:24:50.100 lower its prices

00:24:51.860 for American ships

00:24:52.960 or maybe we should

00:24:54.820 take it back.

00:24:56.200 Now you might not know

00:24:57.320 if you're not old enough

00:24:58.400 that the Panama Canal

00:25:00.520 was built

00:25:01.660 by Americans.

00:25:03.320 I think 35,000

00:25:05.220 Americans

00:25:05.760 died building it,

00:25:07.160 mostly from mosquitoes.

00:25:09.780 Trump was mentioning

00:25:10.840 that statistic

00:25:11.840 recently.

00:25:13.020 And

00:25:13.440 then Jimmy Carter

00:25:15.260 sold the entire

00:25:16.400 canal

00:25:17.300 to

00:25:18.660 Panama

00:25:20.020 for $1.

00:25:20.580 I think he just

00:25:22.460 didn't want to be

00:25:23.220 colonizing Panama.

00:25:24.900 So he said,

00:25:25.320 all right,

00:25:25.860 even though it's

00:25:26.880 very, very profitable

00:25:28.040 and even though

00:25:29.560 we built it

00:25:30.200 at a great

00:25:30.780 personal expense,

00:25:32.260 it's not our country

00:25:33.980 so, you know,

00:25:34.860 we're going to turn

00:25:35.360 it over to you.

00:25:36.140 And I understand.

00:25:37.960 I mean,

00:25:38.380 I get why Carter

00:25:39.980 did it.

00:25:41.540 You know,

00:25:41.840 we just don't want

00:25:43.200 to be that kind

00:25:43.840 of country

00:25:44.240 where we're just

00:25:44.920 basically colonizing,

00:25:47.000 you know,

00:25:47.200 the middle of Panama.

00:25:49.200 On the other hand,

00:25:51.120 what happened was

00:25:52.040 Panama

00:25:52.500 grossly

00:25:53.760 increased the

00:25:54.560 price

00:25:54.920 for passage

00:25:56.260 of free ship.

00:25:57.440 And I did see

00:25:58.520 that they could

00:25:59.120 charge as much

00:25:59.860 as $450,000

00:26:01.740 for one ship.

00:26:04.820 Nearly half

00:26:05.620 a million dollars

00:26:06.440 just to pass.

00:26:08.420 And our ships

00:26:09.000 are paying that.

00:26:10.960 So Trump

00:26:11.900 is basically saying

00:26:12.980 if you don't want

00:26:13.840 us to take it back,

00:26:14.960 which wouldn't be

00:26:15.720 hard militarily,

00:26:17.440 you're going to

00:26:18.520 have to lower

00:26:19.020 those prices,

00:26:19.920 at least for

00:26:20.980 American ships.

00:26:22.660 And again,

00:26:24.060 the way you should

00:26:24.780 see this

00:26:25.360 is as negotiation.

00:26:27.480 Did Trump

00:26:28.620 just declare

00:26:29.480 war on Panama?

00:26:31.540 Sort of.

00:26:32.760 Yeah,

00:26:33.680 sort of.

00:26:34.700 He kind of did.

00:26:36.060 But it's

00:26:36.800 in the context

00:26:38.000 of negotiations.

00:26:39.900 So I like that.

00:26:43.580 Jack Posobiec

00:26:44.840 is saying that

00:26:45.680 I think he's involved

00:26:47.380 in putting together

00:26:48.080 a class action suit

00:26:49.360 for the January Sixers.

00:26:51.800 And the class action

00:26:52.980 would be against

00:26:53.620 the committee,

00:26:55.140 the January Sixth

00:26:56.140 committee,

00:26:56.960 who may have done

00:26:59.060 unethical things,

00:27:01.360 maybe even illegal,

00:27:03.020 we don't know yet,

00:27:04.700 that would cause 0.91

00:27:05.660 some of them

00:27:06.060 to go to jail

00:27:06.700 in a context

00:27:08.480 in which they normally

00:27:09.320 would not be

00:27:10.000 going to jail.

00:27:10.640 so you know

00:27:15.240 how often

00:27:17.000 you've been

00:27:17.580 bugged

00:27:17.900 by the fact

00:27:18.540 that somebody

00:27:19.540 will get,

00:27:20.460 they'll become

00:27:21.180 innocent

00:27:21.620 by the law

00:27:22.680 and then

00:27:23.540 there'll be

00:27:23.780 a legal case.

00:27:25.380 So the

00:27:26.660 private

00:27:27.900 lawsuit

00:27:29.240 takes all

00:27:30.400 their money

00:27:30.760 even though

00:27:31.260 they may

00:27:32.360 not have done

00:27:33.120 the crime

00:27:33.600 or they were

00:27:35.120 not found

00:27:35.620 guilty of the crime.

00:27:36.260 I hate it

00:27:37.980 when it works

00:27:38.520 against my interests

00:27:39.740 where I think

00:27:41.700 come on,

00:27:43.040 you know,

00:27:43.260 the law

00:27:43.760 found them

00:27:44.380 innocent.

00:27:45.440 It's not fair

00:27:46.360 that they get sued

00:27:47.200 when they found

00:27:47.940 when they're

00:27:48.720 innocent

00:27:49.140 on a legal sense.

00:27:51.320 And

00:27:51.360 you probably all know

00:27:53.380 the reason

00:27:53.840 that you can

00:27:54.380 find somebody

00:27:55.120 liable

00:27:55.740 and have to

00:27:57.980 pay money

00:27:58.440 even though

00:27:59.020 they were found

00:27:59.540 not guilty

00:28:00.200 of the very

00:28:00.800 crime

00:28:01.760 is that

00:28:02.500 there's a

00:28:02.820 different

00:28:03.040 standard.

00:28:04.240 So if it's

00:28:04.760 military,

00:28:06.220 the entire

00:28:06.980 jury has to

00:28:07.720 agree that

00:28:08.200 they're guilty.

00:28:09.100 If it's

00:28:09.900 a civil

00:28:11.320 suit,

00:28:11.960 we're just

00:28:12.440 suing them

00:28:12.940 for hurting

00:28:13.920 you in some

00:28:14.480 way,

00:28:15.340 then it just

00:28:16.960 has to be

00:28:17.380 the majority

00:28:17.840 of the jury.

00:28:20.080 So it's

00:28:20.280 much easier.

00:28:22.780 So,

00:28:23.660 and Jack

00:28:25.180 Pasabek

00:28:26.180 is saying

00:28:26.580 that they

00:28:27.300 would start

00:28:27.740 with Liz

00:28:28.200 Cheney.

00:28:30.160 Now,

00:28:30.800 I

00:28:31.120 asked my

00:28:32.920 digital device

00:28:34.780 what is the

00:28:35.640 net worth

00:28:36.140 of Liz

00:28:37.060 Cheney.

00:28:37.660 It said

00:28:37.800 14 million,

00:28:39.260 but of

00:28:39.800 course,

00:28:40.060 nobody really

00:28:40.480 knows that

00:28:40.940 stuff.

00:28:41.540 Nobody really

00:28:42.260 knows anybody's

00:28:43.060 net worth.

00:28:45.120 I've been

00:28:46.120 looking at

00:28:47.620 my own

00:28:48.020 net worth

00:28:48.560 as estimated

00:28:49.840 by social

00:28:50.460 media for

00:28:51.080 the last

00:28:51.400 25 years.

00:28:53.100 Not even

00:28:53.780 close.

00:28:55.080 I don't know

00:28:55.980 where they

00:28:56.260 come up

00:28:56.580 with those

00:28:56.880 numbers.

00:28:57.600 Nobody

00:28:57.820 asked me.

00:28:59.040 I'm literally

00:28:59.580 the only

00:29:00.140 person who

00:29:00.680 knows my

00:29:01.120 net worth.

00:29:02.020 Literally

00:29:02.380 the only

00:29:02.820 one.

00:29:03.920 There's no

00:29:04.500 financial

00:29:05.020 institution

00:29:05.700 who has

00:29:06.980 a good

00:29:07.260 view of

00:29:07.660 it.

00:29:08.360 Nobody.

00:29:09.560 And nobody

00:29:09.980 asked me.

00:29:11.620 So when

00:29:12.580 I check

00:29:13.640 social media

00:29:14.380 for somebody

00:29:15.780 else's

00:29:16.320 net worth,

00:29:17.780 it could be

00:29:19.000 five times

00:29:19.660 that, it

00:29:20.060 could be

00:29:20.320 one-fifth

00:29:20.800 of that.

00:29:22.520 So that's

00:29:23.520 what you

00:29:24.820 have to

00:29:25.040 look at.

00:29:25.780 Now,

00:29:26.780 although I

00:29:27.860 do assume

00:29:28.240 she's doing

00:29:28.720 okay.

00:29:31.240 What do

00:29:31.800 you think

00:29:32.100 of that?

00:29:34.600 So

00:29:35.120 separate

00:29:35.780 from the

00:29:36.280 question of

00:29:36.800 whether those

00:29:37.480 lawsuits would

00:29:38.380 succeed,

00:29:39.580 and I

00:29:40.260 suspect they

00:29:40.840 would,

00:29:41.580 actually.

00:29:42.520 I think

00:29:43.100 they would.

00:29:45.260 Do you

00:29:45.820 think that

00:29:46.180 this is the

00:29:46.680 right approach?

00:29:49.780 I'm going

00:29:50.340 to say

00:29:50.660 yes,

00:29:51.640 because I'm

00:29:53.320 not so

00:29:53.800 sure that

00:29:54.620 there would

00:29:56.440 be any

00:29:56.800 success with

00:29:57.700 a criminal

00:29:58.640 trial,

00:29:59.540 because that's

00:30:00.220 tough.

00:30:01.060 But I'll bet

00:30:01.720 you would have

00:30:02.240 success with

00:30:02.880 a civil

00:30:03.280 trial.

00:30:04.660 And if

00:30:05.400 in the

00:30:06.840 unlikely event

00:30:07.640 it produced

00:30:08.160 any money,

00:30:09.760 then that

00:30:10.200 would go to

00:30:10.560 the J6ers 1.00

00:30:11.300 after legal

00:30:12.760 costs,

00:30:13.260 of course.

00:30:14.260 So I

00:30:16.300 guess I'm

00:30:17.040 in favor of

00:30:17.640 this.

00:30:18.780 I guess I'm

00:30:19.320 in favor.

00:30:20.160 There has to

00:30:20.800 be some

00:30:21.600 kind of

00:30:21.920 response to

00:30:22.760 the pure

00:30:23.600 evil of

00:30:24.300 the January

00:30:24.740 6 convictions.

00:30:26.720 So if

00:30:28.040 conservatives

00:30:29.440 push back

00:30:30.320 with every

00:30:31.020 single tool

00:30:31.680 they have,

00:30:32.900 I think

00:30:33.340 this would

00:30:33.720 be the

00:30:34.020 place to

00:30:34.460 do it.

00:30:35.700 I'm not

00:30:36.320 universally

00:30:37.780 in favor

00:30:38.800 of whatever

00:30:41.820 they did

00:30:42.320 to you,

00:30:43.060 do it

00:30:43.460 back to

00:30:43.820 them.

00:30:44.720 I'm not

00:30:45.320 in favor

00:30:45.660 of that.

00:30:46.680 I'm in

00:30:47.040 favor of

00:30:47.500 usually

00:30:48.000 taking the

00:30:48.760 high ground

00:30:49.300 and trying

00:30:50.260 to win,

00:30:51.320 persuading

00:30:52.360 people that

00:30:52.900 you're the

00:30:53.180 good guys

00:30:53.660 seems like

00:30:54.460 a better

00:30:54.720 long-term

00:30:55.200 play.

00:30:56.180 But in

00:30:56.600 this specific

00:30:57.200 case,

00:30:58.560 the level

00:30:59.580 of evil

00:31:00.220 in this

00:31:01.760 January 6

00:31:02.620 conviction

00:31:03.160 stuff,

00:31:03.960 that needs

00:31:05.000 to be

00:31:05.400 addressed

00:31:06.100 with a

00:31:06.760 hammer.

00:31:08.640 This is

00:31:09.300 not one

00:31:09.640 of those

00:31:09.960 where you

00:31:10.400 want to

00:31:10.720 nuance it.

00:31:12.200 You take

00:31:12.860 a sledgehammer

00:31:13.660 to this

00:31:14.060 one.

00:31:15.040 So yeah,

00:31:15.920 first go

00:31:17.520 after them

00:31:18.000 criminally.

00:31:19.600 Whether or

00:31:20.340 not that

00:31:20.720 works,

00:31:21.220 you also

00:31:21.820 go after

00:31:22.240 them

00:31:22.480 civilly.

00:31:23.220 I would

00:31:23.460 say that

00:31:23.860 that's

00:31:24.840 probably

00:31:25.040 the right

00:31:25.340 play.

00:31:26.240 Typically,

00:31:26.880 I don't

00:31:27.260 like this

00:31:27.740 stuff because

00:31:29.140 it feels

00:31:30.500 revengey,

00:31:31.600 but this

00:31:32.600 is revengey

00:31:33.520 with utility.

00:31:35.360 So I'm

00:31:36.200 responding to

00:31:36.860 the utility

00:31:37.420 of it.

00:31:38.720 At some

00:31:39.580 point,

00:31:40.540 conservatives

00:31:41.040 have to

00:31:41.660 say,

00:31:42.400 if you do

00:31:43.320 stuff like

00:31:43.860 that,

00:31:45.020 it might

00:31:45.700 take us

00:31:46.160 a year,

00:31:47.360 it might

00:31:47.960 take us

00:31:48.380 two years,

00:31:49.060 it might

00:31:50.480 take us

00:31:50.880 three years,

00:31:52.640 it might

00:31:53.020 take us

00:31:53.720 four years,

00:31:54.900 but you're

00:31:55.880 fucked.

00:31:58.140 I think

00:31:58.760 that's

00:31:58.960 important.

00:31:59.880 You need

00:32:00.280 guardrails in

00:32:01.020 this world.

00:32:01.880 So you've

00:32:02.380 got to tell

00:32:02.700 them it

00:32:03.000 doesn't matter

00:32:03.440 how long

00:32:03.920 it takes,

00:32:05.260 you're going

00:32:05.780 to eat

00:32:06.080 this,

00:32:06.960 because it

00:32:07.960 was evil.

00:32:09.200 If they

00:32:09.860 had a good

00:32:10.340 argument,

00:32:11.240 I'd feel

00:32:11.780 completely

00:32:12.220 differently.

00:32:13.180 But January

00:32:13.780 6 convictions

00:32:14.680 were pure

00:32:15.360 evil,

00:32:15.700 and there

00:32:16.960 were a

00:32:17.260 lot of

00:32:17.560 them.

00:32:18.560 And it

00:32:19.900 was sketchy

00:32:20.700 behavior in

00:32:21.520 every possible

00:32:22.240 way.

00:32:24.280 So yeah,

00:32:25.300 sledgehammer.

00:33:26.780 Meanwhile,

00:33:28.840 President Trump

00:33:29.720 said he wants

00:33:30.220 to eliminate

00:33:30.700 estate tax,

00:33:32.580 calling it

00:33:33.000 unfair to

00:33:33.720 hardworking

00:33:34.220 Americans.

00:33:36.480 I want to

00:33:37.240 give you a

00:33:37.760 sense of

00:33:38.440 the estate

00:33:40.180 tax, if

00:33:40.840 you weren't

00:33:41.180 aware of

00:33:41.600 this.

00:33:42.880 If you

00:33:43.240 are, of

00:33:44.200 course, there's

00:33:44.600 like a close

00:33:45.420 to $14

00:33:46.020 million exemption.

00:33:48.060 So if your

00:33:49.020 estate's under

00:33:49.680 $14 million,

00:33:51.640 you get away

00:33:52.940 without estate

00:33:53.620 tax, for the

00:33:54.880 most part.

00:33:56.440 But if you

00:33:57.440 had a business

00:33:58.120 or a farm,

00:34:00.160 there's a pretty

00:34:01.280 good chance that

00:34:01.960 the business or

00:34:03.060 the farm would

00:34:03.680 be worth more

00:34:04.620 than that.

00:34:05.580 And then once

00:34:06.280 you cross that

00:34:08.320 number, everything

00:34:09.700 above that gets

00:34:10.620 a 40% estate

00:34:13.220 tax.

00:34:14.100 So the

00:34:14.460 government just

00:34:15.000 takes 40%

00:34:15.880 after that.

00:34:16.800 Now, if

00:34:18.820 you have a

00:34:19.420 SEP, a

00:34:20.340 retirement plan,

00:34:22.380 the SEP

00:34:22.780 requires that if

00:34:23.820 you were to

00:34:24.180 take money out

00:34:24.820 of it after

00:34:25.320 you retire,

00:34:26.400 if you took

00:34:27.060 money out of

00:34:27.620 it, you

00:34:27.880 would pay

00:34:28.220 regular income

00:34:29.220 tax, which

00:34:30.500 is fair because

00:34:31.740 it was tax

00:34:32.460 exempt when it

00:34:33.240 went in.

00:34:34.300 So all you're

00:34:35.320 doing is paying

00:34:35.800 the taxes that

00:34:36.740 were owed plus

00:34:38.480 some extra if

00:34:39.900 you made

00:34:40.180 money.

00:34:41.480 So I

00:34:42.680 understand that

00:34:43.320 part, and

00:34:43.900 certainly I

00:34:44.740 understood that

00:34:45.500 when I went

00:34:45.960 into it and

00:34:46.560 funded my

00:34:47.280 SEP, what

00:34:49.960 I wasn't

00:34:50.360 counting on

00:34:51.080 is that if

00:34:54.480 you have a

00:34:54.920 business, as

00:34:55.620 I do, you

00:34:56.320 know, the

00:34:56.580 Dilber business

00:34:57.280 is a business,

00:34:58.740 that you

00:35:01.180 would, after

00:35:01.780 you paid 50%

00:35:02.980 income tax,

00:35:04.960 you would

00:35:06.040 also pay 40%

00:35:07.500 estate tax on

00:35:09.040 whatever was

00:35:09.600 left.

00:35:11.540 So you'd

00:35:11.840 pay 50%,

00:35:13.000 half of it

00:35:15.340 just go

00:35:15.900 on, and

00:35:16.560 then the

00:35:16.840 half that's

00:35:17.280 left, 40%

00:35:18.900 of it also

00:35:20.460 gets taken

00:35:20.980 away.

00:35:22.280 So what

00:35:22.960 does that

00:35:23.260 come out

00:35:23.560 to, 80%,

00:35:24.540 85% when

00:35:26.480 you do the

00:35:26.880 math tax?

00:35:29.480 Now, I

00:35:31.180 didn't know

00:35:31.680 that when I

00:35:32.240 funded it.

00:35:35.100 It's something

00:35:35.900 I started, you

00:35:36.940 know, I don't

00:35:37.540 know, 25 years

00:35:38.920 ago or

00:35:39.880 whatever, and

00:35:40.980 you know, I

00:35:43.080 just did it

00:35:43.840 because everybody

00:35:44.420 does it.

00:35:45.440 You know, you're

00:35:45.900 supposed to have

00:35:46.460 a retirement

00:35:46.880 account, it's

00:35:48.160 good for saving

00:35:48.820 on taxes, I

00:35:50.380 knew when I

00:35:50.800 took it out,

00:35:51.660 but basically

00:35:52.480 the government

00:35:53.080 is just going

00:35:54.020 to confiscate

00:35:54.720 it.

00:35:55.720 They're just

00:35:56.100 going to

00:35:56.320 confiscate it.

00:35:59.100 Now, imagine

00:36:01.380 if you owned

00:36:01.880 a farm, and

00:36:03.120 the farm has

00:36:03.700 been in your

00:36:04.100 family the

00:36:04.540 whole time, but

00:36:05.640 you've got

00:36:06.140 several

00:36:07.000 beneficiaries.

00:36:07.580 Well, what

00:36:09.820 do you do

00:36:10.080 then?

00:36:10.600 You're going

00:36:10.900 to have to

00:36:11.240 sell the

00:36:11.840 farm to

00:36:12.340 pay the

00:36:12.660 taxes, and

00:36:13.880 then split

00:36:14.340 up whatever

00:36:14.720 is left to

00:36:15.220 the beneficiaries,

00:36:16.040 but you're

00:36:16.280 out of

00:36:16.500 business.

00:36:17.640 Your farm

00:36:18.020 is out of

00:36:18.360 business.

00:36:21.140 So, I'm

00:36:21.920 very much in

00:36:22.520 favor of

00:36:23.000 getting rid

00:36:23.380 of this

00:36:23.620 estate tax

00:36:24.380 for selfish

00:36:26.020 reasons, but

00:36:28.200 also because

00:36:28.760 it's basically

00:36:30.540 theft.

00:36:31.960 I mean, to

00:36:32.240 me, I pay

00:36:33.600 a lot of

00:36:34.020 taxes, and

00:36:35.540 paying taxes

00:36:36.220 doesn't feel

00:36:37.000 like theft.

00:36:37.760 I know what

00:36:38.680 you're saying.

00:36:39.100 You're saying

00:36:39.780 all taxes are

00:36:40.400 theft.

00:36:41.260 But if my

00:36:42.800 money is going

00:36:43.560 some percentage

00:36:44.620 of it that I

00:36:45.280 knew they were

00:36:45.680 going to take,

00:36:46.220 and it's higher

00:36:47.060 than other

00:36:47.440 people's taxes

00:36:48.220 because my

00:36:48.800 income is good

00:36:49.440 that year or

00:36:50.060 something, I'm

00:36:50.960 not going to

00:36:51.340 complain too

00:36:51.920 much about

00:36:52.380 that.

00:36:53.080 I don't like

00:36:53.760 it.

00:36:54.260 I'd like it to

00:36:54.860 be lower.

00:36:56.160 But the

00:36:57.460 estate tax is

00:36:58.420 just confiscation.

00:37:00.200 I mean, that's

00:37:00.920 really dirty

00:37:02.860 stuff.

00:37:04.200 Anyway, I

00:37:04.920 know you don't

00:37:05.340 feel sorry for

00:37:05.940 me.

00:37:06.180 That's okay.

00:37:07.000 Elon Musk

00:37:09.020 said in

00:37:09.340 the Post

00:37:09.720 that the

00:37:10.940 legacy media

00:37:11.660 is a

00:37:12.000 nonstop

00:37:12.540 psyop.

00:37:15.860 That is

00:37:16.580 true, but

00:37:17.440 I would add

00:37:17.940 the following.

00:37:19.740 It's not a

00:37:20.640 nonstop

00:37:21.180 psyop by

00:37:22.100 accident.

00:37:23.300 It's a

00:37:24.000 nonstop

00:37:24.620 psyop by

00:37:25.980 design.

00:37:27.960 And this

00:37:29.000 is one of

00:37:29.360 the hardest

00:37:29.720 things to

00:37:30.380 accept as

00:37:31.360 true in

00:37:31.820 your world.

00:37:33.100 The news

00:37:33.960 is not

00:37:35.100 meant to

00:37:35.620 inform you.

00:37:36.400 It's

00:37:37.360 meant to

00:37:37.740 control you.

00:37:39.080 The news

00:37:40.060 is and

00:37:42.000 always has

00:37:42.560 been and

00:37:43.100 always will

00:37:43.620 be manipulated

00:37:44.820 by the

00:37:45.500 intelligence

00:37:45.900 service to

00:37:47.260 keep America

00:37:47.960 strong and

00:37:48.780 make sure that

00:37:49.360 the country is

00:37:50.020 united and

00:37:51.340 does what

00:37:51.860 the government

00:37:53.060 wants it to

00:37:53.720 do.

00:37:54.980 So there's

00:37:56.540 no real

00:37:56.960 alternative to

00:37:57.860 the news

00:37:58.220 being a

00:37:58.660 psyop.

00:37:59.940 There really

00:38:00.700 isn't.

00:38:01.020 because I

00:38:02.120 don't think

00:38:02.520 you could

00:38:02.820 hold the

00:38:03.160 country

00:38:03.400 together if

00:38:04.440 you had

00:38:04.680 actual free

00:38:05.720 speech and

00:38:06.380 free news.

00:38:09.080 So the

00:38:09.280 best you

00:38:09.720 can do

00:38:10.220 is have

00:38:12.740 something like

00:38:13.340 the X

00:38:13.780 platform and

00:38:14.500 rumble where

00:38:15.620 you can get

00:38:16.320 something closer

00:38:17.680 to the truth

00:38:18.300 if you want

00:38:19.380 it.

00:38:20.020 But the

00:38:21.140 news is

00:38:21.640 designed as

00:38:22.420 a psyop.

00:38:23.360 It's not

00:38:24.060 designed as

00:38:24.940 a public

00:38:26.300 service which

00:38:27.800 morphed into

00:38:28.480 something bad.

00:38:29.680 No, it

00:38:30.180 was always a

00:38:30.920 psyop by

00:38:32.160 design.

00:38:34.340 All right,

00:38:34.800 so I

00:38:35.460 continue to

00:38:35.960 be entertained

00:38:36.680 by Democrats

00:38:37.660 trying to

00:38:38.240 figure out

00:38:38.640 what went

00:38:39.040 wrong.

00:38:39.860 The closest

00:38:40.820 one is

00:38:41.500 Van Jones.

00:38:43.040 So I

00:38:43.380 talk about

00:38:43.780 him a lot.

00:38:44.360 Eric

00:38:44.560 Abinanti

00:38:45.100 was talking

00:38:46.340 about on

00:38:47.640 X today,

00:38:49.440 a post where

00:38:50.640 Van Jones was

00:38:51.500 explaining to

00:38:52.500 some Democrats

00:38:53.260 what went

00:38:53.840 wrong and

00:38:54.440 basically how

00:38:56.240 to adjust.

00:38:57.800 So here's

00:38:58.220 what Van

00:38:58.960 said.

00:38:59.480 He said

00:38:59.860 he identified

00:39:03.580 what he

00:39:03.940 called the

00:39:04.300 high IQ,

00:39:05.420 low EQ

00:39:06.240 trap.

00:39:07.680 So by

00:39:08.060 his telling,

00:39:09.720 the Democrats

00:39:10.520 are the

00:39:11.040 high IQ

00:39:11.740 group, but

00:39:13.360 their emotional

00:39:14.680 intelligence

00:39:15.740 wasn't good

00:39:16.740 because they

00:39:18.200 showed their

00:39:19.340 arrogance and

00:39:20.960 disrespect and

00:39:21.980 condescension

00:39:22.780 that people can

00:39:25.120 see from a

00:39:25.660 thousand yards

00:39:26.300 away, says

00:39:27.440 Van.

00:39:28.220 Now, so

00:39:29.840 far, is

00:39:32.320 he right?

00:39:33.580 Well, he's

00:39:34.680 definitely right

00:39:35.580 that Democrats

00:39:36.540 showed their

00:39:37.400 disrespect and

00:39:38.820 condescension and

00:39:40.220 that almost

00:39:40.900 certainly changed

00:39:41.740 votes.

00:39:42.780 I think he's

00:39:43.740 right on topic

00:39:44.380 on that.

00:39:45.220 I don't think

00:39:45.860 it's the key

00:39:46.400 problem.

00:39:47.900 I think people

00:39:48.960 not being able

00:39:49.540 to buy gas and

00:39:50.540 people coming

00:39:52.060 over the border

00:39:52.680 was probably

00:39:53.440 bigger.

00:39:53.880 but yes, it

00:39:55.580 definitely made

00:39:56.300 a difference

00:39:56.880 that one side

00:39:58.580 was saying

00:39:59.140 that you

00:39:59.720 suck and 1.00

00:40:01.220 the other

00:40:01.500 side was

00:40:02.020 saying, you

00:40:02.760 know, what

00:40:03.780 about these

00:40:04.220 policies?

00:40:05.660 Well, you

00:40:06.380 suck. 1.00

00:40:07.340 I know, but

00:40:07.900 what about

00:40:08.260 policies?

00:40:09.500 So he's

00:40:10.100 correct that

00:40:12.260 the Democrats

00:40:12.740 need to do

00:40:13.500 less disrespect

00:40:15.240 and condescension,

00:40:16.760 but is he

00:40:18.020 correct that

00:40:18.580 they're the

00:40:18.940 high IQ

00:40:19.560 people?

00:40:21.280 They're not

00:40:22.000 the high IQ

00:40:22.720 people.

00:40:24.840 Again, this

00:40:26.660 is disrespectful

00:40:28.660 and condescending,

00:40:30.660 Van Jones.

00:40:31.780 When I hear

00:40:32.740 your comments,

00:40:33.920 I say, are

00:40:35.180 you teaching

00:40:35.860 them not to

00:40:36.740 be condescending,

00:40:37.880 or are you

00:40:38.720 being condescending

00:40:39.780 and teaching

00:40:40.380 them how to

00:40:40.940 be more

00:40:41.400 condescending?

00:40:42.380 Because if you

00:40:43.060 tell me that

00:40:43.600 the Democrats

00:40:44.300 were the high

00:40:44.980 IQ group,

00:40:46.420 sorry, let

00:40:49.760 me make this

00:40:51.240 adjustment for

00:40:52.040 you.

00:40:53.440 The Democrats

00:40:54.440 are probably

00:40:55.460 the high

00:40:56.900 college educated

00:40:58.140 group.

00:40:59.420 Are you with

00:41:00.240 me so far?

00:41:01.360 I would agree

00:41:02.440 that they're

00:41:03.020 the more

00:41:04.200 educated party.

00:41:06.600 But didn't

00:41:07.660 we watch them

00:41:08.440 get just about

00:41:09.260 everything wrong

00:41:10.160 for four years

00:41:11.300 or ten years?

00:41:13.080 So why is it

00:41:14.240 that the smart

00:41:14.860 party got

00:41:15.420 everything wrong?

00:41:16.660 They fell

00:41:17.040 for every

00:41:17.640 hoax.

00:41:18.960 They fell

00:41:19.460 for every

00:41:20.200 hoax.

00:41:21.400 Every hoax.

00:41:22.980 The smart

00:41:23.520 ones.

00:41:24.240 The smart

00:41:24.840 ones fell

00:41:25.280 for every

00:41:25.920 hoax.

00:41:26.240 I don't

00:41:27.640 think you

00:41:28.020 saw one

00:41:28.700 Democrat

00:41:29.360 saying,

00:41:30.020 you know,

00:41:31.120 this whole

00:41:31.580 fine people

00:41:32.280 thing is

00:41:33.380 crap.

00:41:33.960 Well,

00:41:34.620 I guess

00:41:35.240 Bill Maher,

00:41:36.080 so eventually

00:41:36.780 some.

00:41:37.160 But the

00:41:40.720 thing that

00:41:41.340 the Republicans

00:41:42.500 have going

00:41:43.160 for them

00:41:43.660 is a

00:41:44.680 much

00:41:45.360 clearer

00:41:46.100 idea

00:41:46.740 of what's

00:41:48.300 happening.

00:41:49.200 Not always

00:41:49.880 right.

00:41:50.800 Plenty of

00:41:51.420 dumb people

00:41:52.840 in the world,

00:41:53.620 so they're

00:41:53.900 going to be

00:41:54.160 in both

00:41:54.480 parties,

00:41:55.020 of course,

00:41:55.760 and you're

00:41:56.180 going to see

00:41:56.440 them more

00:41:56.780 than others

00:41:57.240 because it's

00:41:58.120 fun to see

00:41:58.620 the dumb

00:41:59.280 people in

00:41:59.700 both parties.

00:42:00.180 But I

00:42:03.740 really think

00:42:04.460 you need to

00:42:04.920 back off

00:42:05.440 the high

00:42:05.880 IQ thing

00:42:06.580 because if

00:42:08.080 you're talking

00:42:08.460 about leadership,

00:42:10.800 Trump has

00:42:11.280 assembled the

00:42:12.040 smartest

00:42:12.560 advisors and

00:42:15.180 team of

00:42:15.960 leaders we've

00:42:18.240 ever had,

00:42:19.020 maybe since

00:42:20.020 1776.

00:42:22.580 You know,

00:42:22.840 I'll give

00:42:23.740 you that,

00:42:24.720 you know,

00:42:25.060 Jefferson and

00:42:25.840 Adams and

00:42:26.580 Washington might

00:42:27.940 be pretty smart.

00:42:29.120 But the

00:42:30.160 since then,

00:42:30.960 we've never

00:42:32.260 seen a group

00:42:33.200 this smart.

00:42:35.000 And that's

00:42:35.460 also why

00:42:35.960 they were able

00:42:36.500 to work

00:42:36.860 together.

00:42:37.800 Why can

00:42:38.300 RFK Jr.

00:42:39.180 work with

00:42:39.860 the opposite

00:42:41.180 party?

00:42:42.360 Well,

00:42:42.660 part of it

00:42:43.080 is because

00:42:43.420 he's smart.

00:42:45.400 Being smart

00:42:46.060 gives you

00:42:46.400 lots of

00:42:46.720 powers like

00:42:47.260 flexibility,

00:42:48.480 ability to

00:42:49.080 make hard

00:42:49.480 things work

00:42:50.060 for you,

00:42:51.060 right?

00:42:52.500 So far

00:42:54.560 and away,

00:42:56.140 far and

00:42:56.700 away,

00:42:57.820 the current

00:42:58.780 Trump

00:42:59.140 administration

00:42:59.620 has the

00:43:00.280 smartest

00:43:00.640 leaders and

00:43:01.440 advisors we've

00:43:03.120 ever seen.

00:43:04.560 I mean,

00:43:04.960 they impress

00:43:05.680 almost every

00:43:06.440 day.

00:43:07.380 And the

00:43:08.020 Democrats

00:43:08.380 had the

00:43:08.800 worst,

00:43:09.820 literally

00:43:10.260 brain damaged.

00:43:12.120 They had,

00:43:12.660 you know,

00:43:13.060 Biden's brain

00:43:14.000 didn't work

00:43:14.640 and they

00:43:15.800 replaced him

00:43:16.340 with Kamala

00:43:16.840 Harris whose

00:43:17.660 brain doesn't 0.65

00:43:19.680 work and

00:43:22.180 they're the

00:43:22.480 high IQ

00:43:22.960 party.

00:43:24.840 The high IQ

00:43:25.940 party couldn't

00:43:26.760 tell that Biden

00:43:27.500 was mentally

00:43:28.380 diminished.

00:43:29.780 They couldn't

00:43:30.580 tell.

00:43:31.660 How many

00:43:32.300 Republicans

00:43:32.840 couldn't

00:43:33.380 tell?

00:43:34.120 None.

00:43:35.320 Every single

00:43:36.120 Republican

00:43:36.560 said,

00:43:37.120 I'm listening

00:43:38.960 to you in

00:43:39.480 2019 and

00:43:40.320 you don't

00:43:40.700 sound so

00:43:41.220 good.

00:43:41.500 I'm not

00:43:41.740 sure you're

00:43:42.080 going to

00:43:42.120 make four

00:43:42.460 years.

00:43:43.660 All of

00:43:44.080 them.

00:43:45.180 Pretty much

00:43:45.900 every Republican

00:43:46.860 saw it.

00:43:48.040 How many

00:43:48.340 Republicans

00:43:48.800 knew that

00:43:49.700 Kamala Harris

00:43:50.400 was not

00:43:50.840 bright enough

00:43:51.500 to be the

00:43:52.560 good candidate

00:43:53.100 for all

00:43:54.180 of them?

00:43:54.980 Every one

00:43:55.460 of them.

00:43:55.700 Meanwhile,

00:43:57.540 what were

00:43:57.860 Democrats

00:43:58.400 thinking was

00:43:59.020 happening?

00:44:00.080 They thought

00:44:00.500 that Russia 0.72

00:44:01.120 was colluding.

00:44:02.140 They thought

00:44:02.460 that the

00:44:03.400 president was

00:44:04.040 a neo-Nazi.

00:44:06.760 Don't even

00:44:07.420 get me started

00:44:08.020 on the

00:44:09.580 pandemic.

00:44:11.020 They got

00:44:11.740 everything

00:44:12.220 wrong.

00:44:13.460 They're

00:44:13.680 transing

00:44:14.240 people,

00:44:15.080 children,

00:44:16.120 everything.

00:44:16.500 If you

00:44:19.300 measure the

00:44:21.740 IQ of

00:44:22.660 the

00:44:22.820 Democrats,

00:44:23.440 I do

00:44:23.700 believe,

00:44:25.420 because a

00:44:25.820 lot of

00:44:26.020 them are

00:44:26.300 in the

00:44:26.520 higher

00:44:26.720 education

00:44:27.180 group,

00:44:27.800 they'd

00:44:28.040 probably

00:44:28.220 pass an

00:44:28.760 SAT or

00:44:29.820 a GMAT.

00:44:31.640 They'd

00:44:31.920 probably do

00:44:32.200 really well.

00:44:33.820 But when

00:44:34.280 it came to

00:44:34.880 the real

00:44:35.400 world,

00:44:36.580 where they

00:44:37.000 had to

00:44:37.300 make decisions

00:44:37.940 about what's

00:44:39.160 real and

00:44:39.620 what's not,

00:44:40.180 they got

00:44:40.460 everything

00:44:40.820 wrong.

00:44:41.760 Climate

00:44:42.060 change,

00:44:43.340 the way the

00:44:44.040 left understands

00:44:44.940 climate change

00:44:45.740 is just a

00:44:46.380 joke.

00:44:47.620 It's just a

00:44:48.180 joke.

00:44:49.000 They have

00:44:49.300 no idea

00:44:49.820 that multi-year

00:44:51.800 predictions with

00:44:52.860 many variables

00:44:53.640 aren't real.

00:44:54.600 That's not

00:44:54.980 real.

00:44:56.060 You can't

00:44:56.500 predict the

00:44:56.920 future that

00:44:57.380 way.

00:44:57.640 Nobody can.

00:44:59.440 And I

00:45:00.000 think the

00:45:00.300 Republicans all 0.81

00:45:00.960 know it,

00:45:02.240 that the

00:45:02.760 models are

00:45:03.840 ridiculous,

00:45:04.980 and the

00:45:05.800 Democrats

00:45:06.080 don't.

00:45:07.780 The smart

00:45:08.260 ones.

00:45:11.460 Anyway,

00:45:12.960 but I'll

00:45:15.340 say again,

00:45:16.820 even though

00:45:17.460 I'm

00:45:17.780 criticizing

00:45:18.580 Van

00:45:20.440 Jones' 0.79

00:45:20.940 take on

00:45:21.360 this,

00:45:22.100 he's still

00:45:22.580 the closest.

00:45:24.680 I think

00:45:25.160 he and

00:45:25.660 James

00:45:27.120 Carville

00:45:27.740 and probably

00:45:28.920 Bill Maher,

00:45:30.560 I think

00:45:31.260 they're

00:45:31.540 circling it,

00:45:33.260 but they're

00:45:33.700 not quite

00:45:34.760 there yet.

00:45:36.040 They're on

00:45:36.640 the outside

00:45:37.180 of the,

00:45:37.980 they're knocking

00:45:38.660 on the

00:45:39.020 door,

00:45:39.680 but they're

00:45:40.180 definitely

00:45:40.460 not inside.

00:45:41.940 They don't

00:45:42.420 know what's

00:45:42.740 going on yet,

00:45:43.520 but they're

00:45:43.920 very close.

00:45:45.060 Getting

00:45:45.260 there.

00:45:58.920 Scotiabank,

00:45:59.680 you're richer

00:46:00.140 than you think.

00:46:03.980 So the

00:46:05.100 other thing

00:46:05.440 the Democrats

00:46:06.080 keep complaining

00:46:06.920 about is

00:46:08.020 that Trump

00:46:09.820 has

00:46:10.080 billionaire

00:46:10.600 helping him.

00:46:12.320 they're talking

00:46:13.060 about Elon

00:46:13.580 Musk.

00:46:14.860 So here's

00:46:15.480 the current

00:46:15.860 number.

00:46:17.720 According to

00:46:18.540 Maria

00:46:19.000 Noffal was

00:46:19.900 reporting that

00:46:20.520 Forbes was

00:46:21.160 saying this,

00:46:22.180 that Kamala

00:46:23.220 Harris was

00:46:23.700 backed by

00:46:24.180 83 billionaires.

00:46:26.740 Trump had

00:46:27.160 52.

00:46:29.620 So even

00:46:30.200 the billionaire

00:46:32.040 backing was

00:46:33.660 way more for

00:46:34.240 the Democrats.

00:46:35.340 Now on top

00:46:35.880 of that,

00:46:37.300 what about

00:46:37.820 George Soros

00:46:38.920 and Bill Gates

00:46:39.660 and Reid Hoffman?

00:46:40.540 I mean,

00:46:41.520 the Democrats

00:46:42.300 have been just

00:46:42.840 living off

00:46:43.600 this billionaire

00:46:44.320 backing forever,

00:46:45.400 but both

00:46:45.740 parties have.

00:46:46.760 So the

00:46:47.080 billionaire

00:46:47.380 thing is

00:46:47.780 ridiculous.

00:46:52.560 As Mark

00:46:53.560 Andreessen

00:46:54.020 said,

00:46:55.340 that Elon's

00:46:56.340 enemies have

00:46:56.880 a real

00:46:57.140 problem.

00:46:59.280 Their argument

00:47:00.300 that a man

00:47:00.740 worth 400

00:47:01.420 billion is

00:47:02.060 doing it to

00:47:02.640 make more

00:47:03.000 money is

00:47:03.540 obviously not

00:47:04.400 credible.

00:47:05.520 So Elon

00:47:06.000 Musk responded 0.93

00:47:06.820 to that on

00:47:07.600 X.

00:47:07.880 He said,

00:47:08.960 also,

00:47:09.620 if I am

00:47:10.340 allegedly,

00:47:11.140 quote,

00:47:11.480 bought by

00:47:12.520 some country

00:47:13.180 or group,

00:47:13.840 how can they

00:47:14.560 realistically

00:47:15.040 afford it?

00:47:15.860 I'm too

00:47:16.180 expensive.

00:47:19.940 How could

00:47:20.560 they afford

00:47:21.020 it?

00:47:21.320 I'm too

00:47:21.620 expensive.

00:47:23.280 Yes,

00:47:24.320 that is

00:47:25.520 exactly

00:47:25.980 correct.

00:47:26.860 How could

00:47:27.300 you possibly

00:47:27.880 afford it?

00:47:30.000 What would

00:47:30.660 that even

00:47:31.000 look like?

00:47:32.420 All right,

00:47:33.560 we Russians,

00:47:35.120 we have an

00:47:35.700 offer for you,

00:47:36.300 Elon Musk.

00:47:36.820 If you will

00:47:37.720 sell it

00:47:38.120 into America,

00:47:39.060 we will

00:47:39.500 give you

00:47:40.020 10 million

00:47:41.920 dollars.

00:47:44.100 10 million

00:47:44.840 dollars?

00:47:46.240 That's

00:47:46.680 nothing.

00:47:47.640 All right,

00:47:47.920 we'll give

00:47:48.320 you, I

00:47:48.740 mean, it

00:47:48.880 sounds like

00:47:49.220 Dr.

00:47:49.600 Evil,

00:47:49.940 doesn't it?

00:47:50.820 We'll give

00:47:51.480 you 1

00:47:52.660 billion dollars.

00:47:55.120 Really?

00:47:55.680 That's all?

00:47:57.040 1 billion.

00:47:58.840 Hold on,

00:47:59.580 hold on.

00:48:01.160 Hold on.

00:48:02.180 I just

00:48:02.580 made a

00:48:02.860 billion.

00:48:04.320 Well,

00:48:04.600 we'll give

00:48:04.880 you 2

00:48:05.760 billion

00:48:06.480 dollars.

00:48:07.820 Hold on,

00:48:08.480 hold on.

00:48:10.900 2 billion.

00:48:11.800 I just

00:48:12.480 made another

00:48:13.140 billion.

00:48:14.140 You can't

00:48:14.580 really buy

00:48:15.000 a guy like

00:48:15.460 that.

00:48:16.240 It'd be

00:48:16.500 kind of

00:48:16.780 hard.

00:48:19.060 But,

00:48:19.660 I should

00:48:20.380 point out,

00:48:22.060 before you

00:48:22.660 get all

00:48:23.180 high IQ

00:48:24.700 about it,

00:48:26.200 one of the

00:48:26.740 things that

00:48:27.260 conservatives

00:48:27.980 say, at

00:48:28.780 least on

00:48:29.080 social media

00:48:29.660 every day,

00:48:31.220 is that Bill

00:48:31.880 Gates is in

00:48:32.540 it for the

00:48:32.920 money.

00:48:34.700 How many

00:48:35.340 of you

00:48:35.720 believe that

00:48:36.540 Elon Musk

00:48:37.220 is definitely

00:48:37.740 not in it

00:48:38.280 for the

00:48:38.540 money?

00:48:38.880 He's not.

00:48:39.740 In my

00:48:40.120 opinion, he's

00:48:40.600 not in it

00:48:41.040 for the

00:48:41.280 money.

00:48:42.180 But you

00:48:42.700 think that

00:48:43.060 Bill Gates

00:48:43.460 is?

00:48:45.140 Do you

00:48:45.600 feel that

00:48:45.900 that would

00:48:46.160 be a

00:48:46.420 consistent

00:48:46.900 opinion?

00:48:48.680 That Bill

00:48:49.260 Gates is in

00:48:49.800 it for the

00:48:50.140 money,

00:48:51.420 but Elon

00:48:53.900 couldn't be

00:48:54.680 because how

00:48:55.380 could you

00:48:55.660 bribe somebody

00:48:56.220 that rich?

00:48:56.740 I don't

00:49:00.680 think either

00:49:01.100 of them

00:49:01.360 are in it

00:49:01.840 for the

00:49:02.060 money,

00:49:02.380 exactly.

00:49:03.540 I think

00:49:03.900 they're in

00:49:04.180 it for

00:49:04.480 whatever

00:49:05.080 reasons.

00:49:06.300 Usually

00:49:06.800 good.

00:49:08.260 All right.

00:49:09.060 So I'm

00:49:09.520 not defending

00:49:10.440 Bill Gates.

00:49:11.280 That's not

00:49:11.720 my job.

00:49:12.320 I'm just

00:49:12.600 saying that

00:49:13.120 money's probably

00:49:14.460 not the

00:49:14.860 main thing.

00:49:15.940 Probably

00:49:16.280 not.

00:49:17.560 All right.

00:49:20.900 I've been

00:49:21.460 waiting to

00:49:21.980 find out,

00:49:22.720 and some

00:49:23.300 of you

00:49:23.600 have as

00:49:24.180 well,

00:49:25.460 what Elon

00:49:26.260 thinks about

00:49:27.640 the drone

00:49:28.580 sightings and

00:49:29.500 all the

00:49:29.800 UAPs and

00:49:30.600 UFOs.

00:49:31.860 And I

00:49:32.560 saw him

00:49:32.900 post a

00:49:33.380 meme that

00:49:34.820 suggests he

00:49:35.660 thinks it's

00:49:36.360 all fake.

00:49:38.060 He didn't

00:49:38.740 say it,

00:49:39.320 but the

00:49:39.820 meme was

00:49:40.300 showing a

00:49:40.680 bunch of

00:49:41.020 aircraft

00:49:41.600 silhouettes,

00:49:42.840 and they

00:49:44.040 were all

00:49:44.300 labeled

00:49:44.620 drones,

00:49:46.100 you know,

00:49:46.320 to help

00:49:46.780 you spot

00:49:47.280 drones.

00:49:48.120 So the

00:49:48.560 joke was

00:49:49.180 that it's

00:49:50.300 just regular

00:49:50.860 airplanes that

00:49:52.160 people are

00:49:52.580 saying,

00:49:52.980 I've never

00:49:53.400 seen anything

00:49:53.820 like that.

00:49:54.540 It must

00:49:54.820 be an

00:49:55.860 alien

00:49:56.160 drone or

00:49:56.900 China or 0.92

00:49:57.880 something.

00:49:59.000 So since

00:50:00.660 that was

00:50:02.440 just a

00:50:02.840 meme, I

00:50:03.720 don't know

00:50:04.140 if Musk

00:50:05.220 has more

00:50:05.920 of a

00:50:06.480 nuanced

00:50:07.040 take on

00:50:07.560 it, but

00:50:08.420 it doesn't

00:50:08.920 look like he

00:50:09.520 believes we

00:50:10.200 have any

00:50:10.560 trouble or

00:50:11.940 that there's

00:50:12.360 anything

00:50:12.760 unusual.

00:50:18.260 And I

00:50:18.920 don't know

00:50:19.200 either.

00:50:19.820 So I'm

00:50:21.660 genuinely

00:50:22.780 puzzled

00:50:23.480 because it

00:50:25.460 looks for

00:50:26.220 all the

00:50:26.600 world like

00:50:27.100 a mass

00:50:27.560 hysteria.

00:50:29.040 To me, it

00:50:29.900 looks like a

00:50:30.320 mass hysteria,

00:50:31.240 but I

00:50:31.880 can't explain

00:50:32.940 why so

00:50:34.380 many capable,

00:50:35.620 smart, and

00:50:36.160 credible people

00:50:36.960 are saying,

00:50:38.200 I'm looking at

00:50:39.020 it right now,

00:50:39.700 and I've never

00:50:40.660 seen anything

00:50:41.140 like that.

00:50:42.720 Like, that

00:50:43.380 part I don't

00:50:43.880 understand.

00:50:45.680 Like, because

00:50:46.100 there's no

00:50:46.400 airplane that's

00:50:47.200 hovering over

00:50:47.720 your house at

00:50:48.500 500 feet,

00:50:49.340 right?

00:50:50.920 And there

00:50:51.560 are very

00:50:51.880 credible people

00:50:52.720 who say,

00:50:53.460 there's this

00:50:54.220 car-sized thing

00:50:55.320 hovering over

00:50:55.940 my house,

00:50:56.860 and I can

00:50:58.700 see it

00:50:59.040 clearly.

00:50:59.820 I can't get

00:51:00.340 a good

00:51:00.580 picture, but

00:51:01.200 you know,

00:51:01.840 you can never

00:51:03.280 get a good

00:51:03.700 picture of

00:51:04.120 anything

00:51:04.400 interesting.

00:51:06.600 So I'm

00:51:08.640 open to

00:51:09.480 being surprised

00:51:10.340 about whatever

00:51:10.980 the real

00:51:11.900 answer is.

00:51:12.940 My current

00:51:13.820 best hypothesis

00:51:14.840 is that it's

00:51:16.220 a combination

00:51:16.740 of things,

00:51:17.920 but none of

00:51:18.760 them are

00:51:19.040 aliens.

00:51:20.020 That's my

00:51:20.680 best guess.

00:51:22.220 It's just a

00:51:22.700 combination of

00:51:23.300 things.

00:51:24.000 Some of it

00:51:24.660 fake sightings,

00:51:26.180 some of it

00:51:26.620 mistaken,

00:51:27.860 some mass

00:51:28.560 hysteria,

00:51:29.740 some actual,

00:51:30.640 maybe somebody's

00:51:31.380 testing some

00:51:32.120 technology,

00:51:33.560 so they don't

00:51:34.260 want to make a

00:51:34.720 big deal about

00:51:35.380 it.

00:51:36.760 It could be

00:51:37.540 some foreign

00:51:38.140 influence,

00:51:38.900 some foreigners

00:51:39.800 looking at our

00:51:40.920 army base.

00:51:42.120 It could be

00:51:42.540 all of that,

00:51:43.820 but probably

00:51:44.540 not one big

00:51:45.540 thing.

00:51:46.620 I'm guessing

00:51:47.240 it's a number

00:51:47.760 of things.

00:51:48.760 But I'm

00:51:49.800 ruling out

00:51:50.300 aliens so 0.98

00:51:51.340 far.

00:51:52.100 I might

00:51:52.420 rule them

00:51:52.820 in later.

00:51:54.720 But on

00:51:55.220 the all-in

00:51:55.720 pod,

00:51:57.160 Friedberg,

00:51:58.020 whose name

00:51:59.440 interestingly,

00:52:00.200 I don't know

00:52:00.680 his first

00:52:01.060 name from

00:52:02.280 the all-in

00:52:02.700 pod.

00:52:03.040 What is

00:52:03.340 Friedberg's

00:52:04.220 first name?

00:52:05.120 Because on

00:52:05.480 the all-in

00:52:05.900 pod,

00:52:06.180 they call

00:52:06.480 him by

00:52:06.700 his last

00:52:07.060 name.

00:52:08.040 I think

00:52:08.300 they call

00:52:08.680 some of

00:52:10.960 them by

00:52:11.220 their last

00:52:11.600 names.

00:52:11.860 anyway,

00:52:14.880 whatever his

00:52:15.440 first name

00:52:15.920 is,

00:52:16.720 Friedberg,

00:52:17.960 he thinks

00:52:18.860 it might

00:52:20.100 be a

00:52:20.400 psyop

00:52:20.820 by China

00:52:22.500 to crush

00:52:23.960 America's

00:52:24.680 drone economy.

00:52:26.440 And the

00:52:26.680 thinking goes

00:52:27.400 like this.

00:52:28.540 China has 0.91

00:52:29.160 an advantage

00:52:29.660 in drones

00:52:30.160 because they

00:52:30.620 have fewer

00:52:31.140 regulations.

00:52:31.820 So they can

00:52:33.160 design and

00:52:33.880 build things

00:52:34.400 and prototype

00:52:35.080 faster than

00:52:35.860 we can.

00:52:36.180 and they

00:52:37.080 control most

00:52:37.940 of the

00:52:38.180 manufacturing

00:52:38.720 of drones

00:52:39.180 now.

00:52:40.260 If they

00:52:41.060 were to be

00:52:41.680 clever,

00:52:43.080 they would

00:52:43.500 take a bunch

00:52:43.980 of suspicious

00:52:44.640 drones,

00:52:45.940 fly them

00:52:46.440 around in

00:52:46.960 our busiest

00:52:47.520 airspace around

00:52:48.420 New Jersey

00:52:48.920 until we

00:52:50.340 were all

00:52:50.660 freaked out

00:52:51.180 and said,

00:52:51.800 we must

00:52:52.440 have regulations

00:52:53.220 that no

00:52:53.840 drones can

00:52:54.480 fly in

00:52:55.180 residential

00:52:56.320 areas.

00:52:58.040 And then

00:52:58.420 we would

00:52:59.300 over-regulate

00:53:00.720 ourselves and

00:53:02.360 then China

00:53:02.780 would go

00:53:03.160 wild and

00:53:03.780 own the

00:53:04.280 world with

00:53:04.700 drones.

00:53:04.980 I like

00:53:07.960 the addition

00:53:09.820 of that

00:53:10.460 to the

00:53:12.340 possibilities.

00:53:13.480 I don't

00:53:13.840 think that's

00:53:14.340 the highest

00:53:14.720 possibility.

00:53:17.480 To me,

00:53:18.140 it feels a

00:53:18.660 little too

00:53:19.100 clever. 0.51

00:53:20.980 But maybe.

00:53:22.240 I mean,

00:53:22.540 I can't

00:53:22.760 rule it

00:53:23.040 out.

00:53:23.680 Maybe.

00:53:26.240 Anyway,

00:53:27.420 so we've

00:53:30.520 learned about

00:53:30.920 Biden's brain

00:53:32.240 not working

00:53:32.780 for his

00:53:33.260 entire term.

00:53:34.000 and you

00:53:34.980 may have

00:53:35.280 heard that

00:53:35.920 Insurrection

00:53:36.700 Barbie is

00:53:37.360 talking about

00:53:38.120 this on

00:53:38.600 X, that

00:53:39.860 Biden only

00:53:40.980 had nine

00:53:41.500 cabinet meetings

00:53:42.220 in four

00:53:42.620 years.

00:53:44.020 But here's

00:53:44.400 the part,

00:53:45.300 so you

00:53:45.820 already heard

00:53:46.260 that he

00:53:46.540 didn't meet

00:53:46.900 with his

00:53:47.220 cabinet

00:53:47.600 often.

00:53:49.460 But here's

00:53:50.900 the more

00:53:53.060 disturbing part.

00:53:54.040 the members

00:53:57.060 of the

00:53:57.380 cabinet had

00:53:58.040 to submit

00:53:58.660 written

00:53:59.160 questions in

00:53:59.960 advance.

00:54:02.200 It's being

00:54:02.980 written so

00:54:04.140 that he

00:54:04.420 could have

00:54:05.520 the answers

00:54:06.120 written down

00:54:06.640 for him.

00:54:07.460 Now, I

00:54:07.880 don't think

00:54:08.260 he's the

00:54:08.720 one who

00:54:08.980 wrote down

00:54:09.360 the answers.

00:54:10.740 I think

00:54:11.180 his staff

00:54:11.760 and advisors

00:54:12.740 wrote him

00:54:13.260 answers.

00:54:13.560 So, not

00:54:15.120 only was he

00:54:15.800 incapable of

00:54:16.640 having these

00:54:17.140 meetings, but

00:54:18.760 he was

00:54:19.060 incapable of

00:54:19.820 handling them

00:54:20.540 like a

00:54:21.760 meeting.

00:54:22.540 He just

00:54:23.340 used it to

00:54:24.140 read something

00:54:25.020 that was given

00:54:25.500 to him.

00:54:25.860 that's

00:54:27.540 really, really

00:54:28.300 bad.

00:54:29.860 However bad

00:54:30.820 you thought

00:54:31.240 things were,

00:54:32.560 it might have

00:54:33.040 been a lot

00:54:33.380 worse.

00:54:34.460 It sounds

00:54:34.760 like it.

00:54:36.220 Meanwhile,

00:54:36.880 Ukraine's

00:54:37.700 established a

00:54:39.760 new point

00:54:40.180 in history

00:54:40.640 by doing

00:54:41.840 an all-robot

00:54:42.840 attack on

00:54:43.780 the Russian

00:54:44.220 lines.

00:54:45.820 An all-robot

00:54:46.780 attack.

00:54:47.840 Apparently,

00:54:48.320 that included

00:54:48.920 remote

00:54:50.740 controlled

00:54:52.560 surveillance and

00:54:54.200 mine-laying

00:54:55.120 drones.

00:54:55.860 So, some

00:54:58.080 of the

00:54:58.260 drones were

00:54:58.700 surveillance,

00:54:59.480 some of

00:54:59.840 them were

00:55:00.100 laying mines.

00:55:01.740 It included

00:55:02.320 one-way

00:55:03.100 explosive

00:55:03.880 robots.

00:55:05.680 Now, it

00:55:06.060 doesn't explain

00:55:07.600 what the

00:55:08.000 robots look

00:55:08.520 like.

00:55:09.140 I'm guessing

00:55:09.800 their dog

00:55:10.960 form, the

00:55:11.900 four-legged

00:55:12.420 kind, because

00:55:13.900 I don't think

00:55:14.400 you'd build a

00:55:15.020 two-legged

00:55:15.620 robot if it's

00:55:16.460 just going to

00:55:17.220 run ahead and

00:55:17.880 explode.

00:55:20.340 So, probably

00:55:21.260 four-legged.

00:55:22.280 So, they

00:55:22.780 sent these

00:55:23.400 robots,

00:55:24.380 exploding

00:55:24.800 robots, at

00:55:25.480 the Russians,

00:55:26.700 and they

00:55:27.400 also had

00:55:27.840 gun-armed

00:55:28.760 bots.

00:55:30.000 So, they

00:55:30.280 had robots,

00:55:31.100 I assume

00:55:32.460 these are

00:55:32.840 remote-controlled,

00:55:34.660 that had

00:55:35.060 guns.

00:55:36.780 And they

00:55:37.180 sent no

00:55:37.840 humans,

00:55:39.140 they sent

00:55:39.620 only robots

00:55:40.420 and drones, 0.93

00:55:41.180 and they

00:55:41.340 took out

00:55:41.860 the Russians

00:55:47.320 in a very

00:55:48.200 small area.

00:55:49.940 Now, as

00:55:51.540 the article I

00:55:53.640 read described

00:55:54.900 it, the

00:55:55.900 robots are

00:55:56.400 not good for

00:55:56.960 holding territory,

00:55:58.420 they're good for

00:55:59.300 killing people, 0.96

00:56:00.760 but you'd have

00:56:01.740 to move in

00:56:02.160 humans to

00:56:02.920 hold the

00:56:03.340 territory.

00:56:04.140 So, we

00:56:04.460 don't know if

00:56:04.940 the Ukrainians

00:56:06.140 even tried to

00:56:06.780 hold the

00:56:07.120 territory, but

00:56:08.520 it does

00:56:09.000 suggest,

00:56:10.020 it does

00:56:11.800 suggest that

00:56:12.720 it's going to

00:56:14.080 be all robots

00:56:14.980 from now on.

00:56:15.780 Now, I

00:56:18.320 think that's

00:56:18.780 a really

00:56:19.220 good thing

00:56:19.820 for negotiating,

00:56:21.520 because apparently

00:56:22.380 there are way

00:56:24.040 more Russian

00:56:24.720 soldiers than

00:56:26.200 there are

00:56:26.600 Ukrainians,

00:56:27.400 because they're

00:56:27.700 running out of

00:56:28.160 people.

00:56:29.700 If the

00:56:30.460 Ukrainians could

00:56:31.360 show the

00:56:31.760 ability to

00:56:33.360 double their

00:56:34.380 strength through

00:56:35.080 robots, and

00:56:36.600 actually have

00:56:37.400 them offensive

00:56:38.220 robots, I

00:56:40.440 think that

00:56:40.840 would make

00:56:41.260 Russia ask a 0.58

00:56:43.600 lot of

00:56:43.820 questions,

00:56:44.560 because I

00:56:45.160 don't think

00:56:45.660 Russia can 0.92

00:56:47.860 maybe match

00:56:48.520 them with

00:56:48.980 robots, yet.

00:56:51.540 I don't

00:56:52.360 think that

00:56:52.860 China would 0.99

00:56:53.420 provide them

00:56:54.020 with robots,

00:56:55.500 so how

00:56:57.140 would Russia 0.72

00:56:57.600 ever match

00:56:58.500 an all-robot

00:57:00.020 army?

00:57:01.300 They could

00:57:02.000 afford it,

00:57:03.420 but could

00:57:04.680 they build

00:57:05.160 it?

00:57:06.420 Does Russia

00:57:06.980 have the

00:57:07.280 ability to

00:57:07.800 manufacture

00:57:08.360 robots?

00:57:10.060 They can

00:57:10.640 make drones,

00:57:11.720 or they can

00:57:12.480 buy them from

00:57:12.980 Russia, but I

00:57:14.420 don't think

00:57:14.720 they would buy

00:57:15.280 four-legged

00:57:16.040 exploding

00:57:16.900 robots, or

00:57:18.300 machine gun

00:57:19.880 robots.

00:57:21.160 So there's

00:57:22.120 some possibility

00:57:23.020 that we're on

00:57:24.640 the verge of

00:57:25.360 completely

00:57:25.800 changing,

00:57:26.600 yeah, of

00:57:30.560 completely

00:57:31.020 changing how

00:57:31.680 war is done,

00:57:32.480 so that the

00:57:34.760 robot army will

00:57:35.880 beat the human

00:57:36.980 army basically

00:57:37.860 every time, and

00:57:39.440 you just need

00:57:39.940 more robots to

00:57:40.780 win.

00:57:41.780 So if Trump

00:57:42.960 comes in, he

00:57:43.720 says, here's

00:57:44.540 the deal,

00:57:45.100 Putin, I'm

00:57:46.720 going to keep

00:57:47.240 funding Ukraine,

00:57:48.220 which he already

00:57:48.700 said, that's part

00:57:49.440 of his

00:57:49.680 negotiation, but

00:57:51.360 I'm going to

00:57:52.460 massively supply

00:57:53.600 them with

00:57:55.220 killer robots.

00:57:57.060 So you have a

00:57:58.720 human advantage

00:57:59.540 right now, but

00:58:00.680 I'm going to take

00:58:01.260 that away from

00:58:01.820 you with robots.

00:58:03.860 I'll just have

00:58:04.540 the robots kill

00:58:05.220 your people until

00:58:05.920 you don't have

00:58:06.340 any left, because

00:58:07.400 you can't match

00:58:08.040 us with robots.

00:58:08.900 Now, of

00:58:10.120 course, Putin

00:58:10.680 does have

00:58:11.680 plays as well.

00:58:12.680 He could say, I

00:58:13.760 have hypersonic

00:58:14.400 missiles, and I

00:58:15.860 could aim them

00:58:16.340 at the United

00:58:17.100 States, to

00:58:18.660 which point

00:58:19.160 Trump would

00:58:19.920 say, and

00:58:20.960 you'd all be

00:58:21.540 dead, because

00:58:23.080 they would be,

00:58:24.600 because the

00:58:25.220 United States

00:58:25.820 would destroy

00:58:26.480 everything it

00:58:27.180 could destroy

00:58:27.700 in Russia.

00:58:28.660 Certainly

00:58:29.020 Putin would

00:58:29.560 be dead. 0.94

00:58:31.560 So nobody

00:58:32.300 wants to do

00:58:32.860 that.

00:58:34.040 So timing is

00:58:35.740 really good for

00:58:36.380 negotiation reasons.

00:58:37.460 It's always

00:58:39.020 good to have

00:58:39.540 an unknown

00:58:40.320 that you

00:58:41.780 could take

00:58:42.160 with you to

00:58:42.680 negotiate, because

00:58:44.220 when you hear

00:58:45.100 that there was

00:58:45.620 this one

00:58:46.200 successful little

00:58:47.240 attack, the

00:58:48.420 first thing you

00:58:49.000 should ask is,

00:58:50.100 is that bullshit? 0.59

00:58:52.540 I wasn't there.

00:58:53.660 I didn't see it.

00:58:55.000 Do you trust the

00:58:55.740 Ukrainians to

00:58:56.660 say that they

00:58:57.740 had an all-robot

00:58:58.640 attack and it

00:58:59.240 was a big

00:58:59.620 success?

00:59:00.740 No.

00:59:01.340 You shouldn't

00:59:01.800 trust anything

00:59:02.520 coming from a

00:59:03.240 war zone.

00:59:04.140 Not anything.

00:59:04.960 But, do the

00:59:07.480 Russians know? 0.52

00:59:09.980 Because if you

00:59:11.100 say to them,

00:59:12.300 we're already

00:59:13.380 destroying you

00:59:14.140 with our

00:59:14.500 robot army,

00:59:15.980 you know, the

00:59:16.320 prototype already

00:59:17.140 worked, now we're

00:59:18.660 going to just

00:59:19.440 flood the zone

00:59:20.220 with killer

00:59:20.860 robots, and you

00:59:22.440 guys basically

00:59:23.060 are all dead.

00:59:25.100 Now, if Russia 0.90

00:59:26.320 doesn't know if

00:59:27.380 that's true,

00:59:28.700 and how could

00:59:29.800 they?

00:59:30.740 I mean, even we

00:59:31.400 don't know if it's

00:59:31.980 true, because even

00:59:33.400 if you tried hard

00:59:34.160 to do it, well,

00:59:35.140 I don't know, could

00:59:35.700 you do it?

00:59:36.760 Could you build

00:59:37.300 enough robots fast

00:59:38.280 enough that it

00:59:38.800 changes the course

00:59:40.220 of the war?

00:59:40.920 I don't know.

00:59:41.840 I have no idea.

00:59:43.080 But here's the

00:59:43.720 fun part.

00:59:45.100 Russia definitely

00:59:45.760 doesn't know.

00:59:47.100 They don't know

00:59:47.620 if he can do it.

00:59:48.960 So, Trump can

00:59:49.980 come in with the

00:59:50.860 threat of moving

00:59:52.600 to an all-robot

00:59:53.600 army that will

00:59:54.360 destroy all of

00:59:55.240 his entire army,

00:59:57.700 and Putin won't

00:59:59.080 know for sure

00:59:59.880 if that's real.

01:00:03.400 That's pretty

01:00:03.980 strong.

01:00:05.100 That's a strong

01:00:05.780 way to go into

01:00:06.320 the negotiations,

01:00:07.480 because you

01:00:08.160 can threaten it

01:00:08.940 quite credibly,

01:00:10.240 now that they've

01:00:11.540 tested it and it

01:00:12.360 worked, allegedly,

01:00:14.400 according to their

01:00:15.040 reporting.

01:00:17.260 Well, here's an

01:00:18.120 interesting one.

01:00:19.240 Iran's supreme

01:00:20.000 leader, Ayatollah

01:00:21.440 Khamenei,

01:00:23.140 claimed that they

01:00:24.580 don't have any

01:00:25.400 proxy forces in

01:00:26.580 the Middle East,

01:00:27.340 and that if they

01:00:28.840 want to attack

01:00:29.480 anyone, they'll do

01:00:30.180 it themselves.

01:00:30.740 Okay, now, you

01:00:34.020 all follow the

01:00:34.660 news enough to

01:00:35.260 know that Hezbollahs

01:00:37.140 are proxies, and

01:00:38.160 Hamas is their 1.00

01:00:39.060 proxies, and they

01:00:40.460 got proxies in

01:00:41.440 Syria, and, you 0.96

01:00:43.240 know, they're big

01:00:44.100 on proxies.

01:00:46.240 Oh, and they have

01:00:47.180 proxies in Yemen.

01:00:49.080 Right?

01:00:50.220 And why do you

01:00:51.420 know that?

01:00:52.440 Why do we all

01:00:53.200 know that?

01:00:54.600 Because the news.

01:00:56.400 We already done

01:00:57.300 the news.

01:00:57.780 the news that's

01:01:00.140 a PSYOP.

01:01:01.860 So the news that

01:01:03.040 isn't even trying

01:01:03.840 to be real, the

01:01:05.760 PSYOP news, it

01:01:08.520 told you that Iran 0.99

01:01:10.600 has proxies.

01:01:15.060 I'm just going to

01:01:15.980 put this out there.

01:01:18.740 What if they

01:01:19.480 don't?

01:01:21.900 What if they

01:01:22.620 don't?

01:01:24.160 Now, your first

01:01:25.740 impression was the

01:01:27.400 same as my first

01:01:28.200 impression, that it's

01:01:29.520 such a bald-faced

01:01:30.640 lie, it's so

01:01:32.360 obviously not true,

01:01:34.220 because every news

01:01:35.720 entity, every news

01:01:36.940 entity reports that

01:01:38.140 they have proxies, and

01:01:39.860 Israel's entire 1.00

01:01:41.060 existence is based

01:01:43.060 on the understanding

01:01:43.900 that these are

01:01:44.560 Iranian proxies.

01:01:46.180 So how in the

01:01:47.200 world could they

01:01:49.940 say this with a

01:01:50.780 straight face that

01:01:51.480 we don't have any

01:01:52.100 proxies?

01:01:52.640 Well, maybe they're

01:01:56.040 doing like the word

01:01:57.080 thing, where they

01:01:58.740 say they're not our

01:01:59.740 proxies, they're just

01:02:01.500 people we support with

01:02:02.640 our money and our

01:02:03.300 weapons.

01:02:04.300 What they do is up

01:02:05.460 to them.

01:02:06.940 So maybe they're

01:02:07.760 weaseling it somehow.

01:02:10.580 But here's the thing

01:02:12.020 that has stopped me in

01:02:12.820 my tracks.

01:02:13.420 I still think they

01:02:16.800 have proxies.

01:02:18.140 So I think we are

01:02:19.420 correct, you know,

01:02:20.580 Hezbollah, Hamas,

01:02:21.500 et cetera.

01:02:21.940 I think they have

01:02:22.680 proxies.

01:02:25.420 But I had to stop and

01:02:27.360 pause for a second and

01:02:29.180 ask myself, is it

01:02:31.300 possible, given all the

01:02:33.460 other things that the

01:02:34.420 news has told us over

01:02:35.500 the years that turned

01:02:36.280 out not to be true, a

01:02:38.940 lot of stuff that turned

01:02:39.920 out not to be true, like

01:02:41.440 even our reason for the

01:02:43.200 war in Iraq.

01:02:44.780 Like really basic

01:02:46.260 major war things that

01:02:49.860 we've been told were

01:02:50.560 true that just weren't.

01:02:52.660 And it made me stop and

01:02:54.040 think, what if Iran 0.90

01:02:55.800 doesn't have any

01:02:56.520 proxies?

01:02:58.120 We do live in a world

01:02:59.680 where as shocking as

01:03:01.980 that would be, and I

01:03:03.240 don't believe it's true,

01:03:04.040 by the way.

01:03:04.560 I do believe they have

01:03:05.700 proxies.

01:03:06.760 But we do live in a

01:03:08.300 world where if I found

01:03:09.440 out I had been wrong

01:03:10.420 about that, I don't

01:03:11.760 for decades, it

01:03:14.360 wouldn't be that much

01:03:15.240 of a surprise.

01:03:17.380 Because pretty much all

01:03:18.880 the war news is fake.

01:03:22.280 So could that be fake?

01:03:24.740 And the answer is, it

01:03:26.440 could be.

01:03:28.240 Now, if you live there

01:03:29.640 and you lived in Israel

01:03:30.720 and you had much

01:03:32.400 closer on the ground

01:03:33.620 direct observations of

01:03:35.040 things, I'm sure they

01:03:36.680 know for sure that they

01:03:37.840 have proxies in Israel.

01:03:38.980 But you and I don't

01:03:40.200 have access to anything

01:03:41.260 except what people

01:03:42.100 told us.

01:03:43.740 So are you going to

01:03:44.660 believe Israel if 0.75

01:03:46.920 Israel says, hey, we've

01:03:48.660 got this problem, it

01:03:50.360 sure would help if you

01:03:51.200 gave us a ton of money

01:03:52.180 to solve it.

01:03:52.840 I wouldn't believe any

01:03:56.340 country told me that.

01:03:58.800 But I do think there

01:03:59.860 are proxies.

01:04:00.820 My only point is that we

01:04:02.160 live in a world where

01:04:03.060 something as basic an

01:04:05.680 understanding as that

01:04:08.320 could turn out to be

01:04:09.460 wrong.

01:04:11.220 And you just have to

01:04:12.580 stop and say, all right,

01:04:14.200 I'm pretty sure this

01:04:16.000 isn't real, but can I

01:04:19.520 be sure?

01:04:22.820 Hard to say.

01:04:25.260 Well, here's something

01:04:26.200 interesting.

01:04:27.000 This snuck up on me.

01:04:28.920 So Tata Chemicals in

01:04:30.440 North America, they've

01:04:31.300 got this soda ash

01:04:32.480 subsidiary.

01:04:33.860 And I guess soda ash is

01:04:35.840 something you mine, and

01:04:37.960 it's not based on soda.

01:04:39.700 It's just what they call

01:04:41.460 it.

01:04:41.660 And apparently it's

01:04:45.000 super energy intensive.

01:04:49.440 And so they're going to

01:04:50.080 build eight small

01:04:52.420 micro-reactors, nuclear

01:04:54.420 powered micro-reactors,

01:04:56.180 that I think is just for

01:04:57.700 their own operation.

01:04:59.940 So eight separate

01:05:01.440 nuclear reactors, tiny

01:05:04.240 ones, just for one

01:05:06.620 company.

01:05:07.500 And I said to myself,

01:05:09.420 when did that work?

01:05:11.660 How did that become

01:05:11.980 possible?

01:05:14.280 I followed this topic.

01:05:16.720 I didn't know anybody

01:05:17.600 could just buy this shit

01:05:18.640 off the shelf from an

01:05:19.640 American company.

01:05:21.200 Is this going to work?

01:05:23.160 Is there already a demo

01:05:25.560 model where this works?

01:05:27.800 And then I read, so I

01:05:29.060 have questions about this

01:05:29.980 one.

01:05:30.500 And then I read that it's

01:05:31.920 gas-cooled, right?

01:05:35.120 It's a gas-cooled micro-reactor.

01:05:39.740 Now, the traditional

01:05:41.780 reactors that we have in

01:05:43.160 this country, even the

01:05:44.500 newest ones, the third

01:05:46.000 generation ones, those are

01:05:48.640 still water-cooled.

01:05:50.500 So if you lose your power,

01:05:54.020 you lose your water-cooling,

01:05:55.740 if you lose the backup power

01:05:57.920 as well.

01:05:59.140 Now, that's what happened

01:05:59.840 with Fukushami.

01:06:03.500 That's what happened in

01:06:04.360 Japan with their nuclear 0.99

01:06:06.500 plant.

01:06:07.880 It wasn't, it's not deadly

01:06:09.960 to lose power.

01:06:11.500 It's deadly to lose power

01:06:13.020 and also your backup power.

01:06:15.380 That's what happened to

01:06:16.160 them.

01:06:17.320 And the reason is, if you

01:06:18.680 can't keep the water

01:06:20.420 cooling the thing, it

01:06:21.460 overheats, et cetera.

01:06:22.260 But what about these

01:06:23.320 gas-cooled ones?

01:06:25.720 Is it the same problem?

01:06:27.860 That if you lose power, it

01:06:29.160 melts down?

01:06:30.080 Or are these the fourth

01:06:31.200 generation where it's

01:06:33.700 designed so it can't?

01:06:35.540 Maybe it just can't.

01:06:37.400 So I have lots of

01:06:38.120 questions.

01:06:39.080 This company, BWXT, is the

01:06:43.220 maker of these little

01:06:44.140 micro-reactors.

01:06:45.900 And if this is real, this

01:06:49.680 is a really big deal.

01:06:50.800 Because micro-nuclear

01:06:52.980 reactors is, in my

01:06:55.240 opinion, almost certainly

01:06:56.320 the future of U.S.

01:06:58.700 energy.

01:06:59.240 With solar, of course.

01:07:02.700 Well, there's a skinny

01:07:04.560 spy drone that can fly for

01:07:07.260 a whole year within a

01:07:08.500 break.

01:07:09.080 So it just stays in the

01:07:09.920 air, uses solar to

01:07:11.020 recharge.

01:07:12.320 And it's so light and

01:07:13.280 skinny that it doesn't

01:07:15.160 take much energy to stay

01:07:16.360 up there.

01:07:17.160 And it's, this is

01:07:18.460 according to IFL Science,

01:07:20.040 an article there.

01:07:21.800 Um, so, and it's so

01:07:23.980 good, it could be a

01:07:24.860 cheaper alternative to

01:07:26.220 satellites.

01:07:27.720 So instead of putting a

01:07:29.840 satellite up there, which

01:07:30.740 is super expensive, you

01:07:33.060 could just send your drone

01:07:34.120 up and it just stays there

01:07:35.240 all year.

01:07:37.060 Um, maybe, I assume it

01:07:38.980 could stay there forever

01:07:39.820 because if it can stay

01:07:40.800 there for a year, why

01:07:42.800 wouldn't it stay there

01:07:43.460 forever?

01:07:44.580 Until it wears out, I

01:07:45.880 guess.

01:07:48.240 Anyway, and, uh, here's

01:07:50.580 some interesting news.

01:07:52.080 So the Vigilant Fox, um,

01:07:54.500 has been reporting on

01:07:55.500 this.

01:07:56.160 And Joe Rogan was

01:07:57.940 reporting on the Vigilant

01:07:59.960 Fox's, um, reporting.

01:08:01.840 And there's a, I don't

01:08:05.340 know if I mentioned this

01:08:06.020 before.

01:08:06.300 There's a, uh, existing

01:08:07.720 drug that is being

01:08:09.120 repurposed for cancer, but

01:08:11.180 they don't know if it works

01:08:12.020 yet, called

01:08:12.540 fenbendazole.

01:08:15.160 Fenbendazole.

01:08:15.840 So fenbendazole is sort of

01:08:17.600 like ivermectin in that

01:08:19.520 they're both in that

01:08:20.400 existing, existing, um,

01:08:23.820 drug.

01:08:24.320 It's already approved for,

01:08:25.200 um, I think worms or

01:08:27.040 something.

01:08:27.320 So it's sort of like

01:08:28.720 ivermectin, same, same

01:08:30.800 domain, but also low

01:08:33.520 side effects like

01:08:35.000 ivermectin.

01:08:36.020 So there's something that

01:08:37.280 has low side effects.

01:08:39.200 And, um, apparently

01:08:43.240 there's, according to,

01:08:44.620 uh, Dr.

01:08:46.180 Mackis, there are like 12

01:08:47.360 different mechanisms for

01:08:49.300 stopping cancer in this one

01:08:51.240 drug.

01:08:51.880 Now, as I've told you

01:08:55.120 before, the odds of

01:08:57.180 something that works in

01:08:58.060 the laboratory and works

01:08:59.400 in animals, also working

01:09:01.460 in humans, not so good.

01:09:04.260 It's about 5% that work

01:09:07.260 in animals and then it

01:09:08.480 successfully becomes a

01:09:09.720 product in humans.

01:09:11.180 Um, but at least some of

01:09:13.140 the reason that things

01:09:15.360 don't become legal for

01:09:16.960 humans is that they would

01:09:18.420 have side effects and the

01:09:20.060 side effects might be worse

01:09:21.100 than the thing they're

01:09:21.860 treating.

01:09:22.920 However, when you're

01:09:24.520 talking about ivermectin

01:09:25.180 or hydroxychloroquine or

01:09:28.240 fenbendazole, you're

01:09:29.920 talking about things where

01:09:30.980 we already know that the

01:09:32.220 side effects are minimal.

01:09:35.840 So if you've crossed the

01:09:38.020 no side effects that are

01:09:39.680 going to stop it, um, then

01:09:42.180 it's not 5%, I would guess

01:09:43.840 that it would be bigger by

01:09:46.560 the percentage of things

01:09:48.640 that typically were ruled

01:09:50.260 out just because they had

01:09:52.480 bad side effects.

01:09:53.720 So I don't know what the

01:09:54.700 odds are, but the reason

01:09:57.340 there are no big clinical

01:09:58.660 trials is that there's not

01:10:00.520 enough money in it because

01:10:01.780 it's an existing drug,

01:10:03.200 doesn't cost much to make

01:10:04.620 it, and if it worked, it

01:10:06.500 would be amazing.

01:10:08.440 Um, so the question will be,

01:10:12.440 does it work?

01:10:14.680 And how would you ever know

01:10:19.000 if there's never a trial?

01:10:22.640 Well, one way you can know

01:10:24.780 is by talking to people who

01:10:26.700 tried it, but that's not

01:10:29.220 going to work most of the

01:10:30.680 time because people who get

01:10:33.220 cancer diagnoses will try

01:10:35.300 everything that's even

01:10:36.400 mentioned.

01:10:37.380 So if their doctor says, do

01:10:39.600 chemo, do radiation, do,

01:10:41.400 do hormones, they'll probably 0.99

01:10:43.880 do all of those things, or

01:10:45.360 at least two of the three.

01:10:46.900 And then if they also take

01:10:48.560 this drug, then it won't be

01:10:51.500 so clear, you know, what's

01:10:53.260 making a difference.

01:10:54.400 So it'd be unusual for

01:10:56.940 somebody to just take this

01:10:58.640 and then see what happens.

01:11:02.600 Right?

01:11:03.200 So there's not enough money

01:11:04.260 to test it, but there's

01:11:07.300 also no, not even the

01:11:08.760 anecdotal works because

01:11:10.820 nobody will do a clean

01:11:11.940 anecdotal.

01:11:12.580 They'll always do everything

01:11:13.800 you could possibly do

01:11:14.820 because, you know, you're a

01:11:16.840 little desperate.

01:11:20.200 But I will tell you that I

01:11:22.740 have personally communicated

01:11:24.500 with somebody who had a,

01:11:28.620 one of the bad cancers, I

01:11:30.320 won't be more specific than

01:11:31.540 that, and claims to me in

01:11:34.160 person, by message, but a

01:11:36.660 personal message, that the

01:11:39.180 cancer is cleared and it's an

01:11:41.280 incurable one.

01:11:42.480 It's one of the incurable

01:11:43.700 ones.

01:11:44.620 Now, it's one person, but

01:11:47.440 what's special is that this

01:11:50.160 one person did not do chemo,

01:11:52.360 radiation, or any of the

01:11:54.520 normal stuff.

01:11:56.060 And his doctors tell him he's

01:11:57.940 cleared.

01:11:59.120 So that's an incurable cancer.

01:12:01.620 It's one of the incurable ones

01:12:03.380 that nobody's cured of.

01:12:05.100 When I say incurable, I mean

01:12:07.200 nobody, but there is a real

01:12:10.240 human being who has told me

01:12:12.660 personally that he also, I

01:12:15.380 think he may have also taken

01:12:16.380 ivermectin, but he's on this

01:12:19.040 Dr.

01:12:19.960 Maccas program, and it's one 0.89

01:12:25.320 person.

01:12:26.740 But here's what I don't trust.

01:12:29.380 If a big pharma company does

01:12:31.160 a trial, and they say you'll

01:12:33.100 live 30% longer, if you take

01:12:36.520 their drugs and your chemo and

01:12:37.920 stuff, I don't trust the 30%, 1.00

01:12:40.320 because I just feel like it's

01:12:42.260 too easy to manipulate numbers,

01:12:45.260 you know, 30%.

01:12:46.200 But if there's even one person

01:12:49.800 that you could be sure, and I

01:12:52.040 can't be sure in this case, by

01:12:53.280 the way, because it's not

01:12:54.400 somebody, you know, like you'd

01:12:55.720 have to live in their house

01:12:56.620 to be sure.

01:12:58.040 You know, I'd have to stand

01:12:59.280 next to them and, you know,

01:13:00.560 watch them put the pill in

01:13:01.560 their mouth to be sure.

01:13:03.320 But somebody who sounds honest

01:13:05.080 to me doesn't have any, you

01:13:07.860 know, financial incentive that

01:13:09.860 I can tell.

01:13:11.720 And one person says that

01:13:13.460 according to their doctors,

01:13:14.680 he's cleared.

01:13:16.520 Now, one cure of an

01:13:18.820 uncurable thing gets my

01:13:20.580 interest.

01:13:21.680 Now, that is far, far from

01:13:23.640 proof.

01:13:24.500 You all know that, right?

01:13:25.720 It's far, far from proof.

01:13:29.160 You need real science to get

01:13:30.820 to proof.

01:13:32.400 But it's enough to ask if

01:13:34.340 there's any others.

01:13:36.360 So if it turned out there were

01:13:38.360 two or three other people,

01:13:41.320 and their doctors also

01:13:43.300 confirmed that they were

01:13:44.260 cleared, I'd be quite excited

01:13:47.900 about that.

01:13:49.160 Quite excited.

01:13:50.700 So I think you're going to hear,

01:13:52.000 well, I know you'll hear, you're

01:13:53.140 going to hear more about this.

01:13:54.100 And you'll probably figure out

01:13:57.900 sooner or later whether it

01:13:58.920 works or not.

01:14:00.440 And I'll keep you informed.

01:14:02.260 Keep your eye on this one.

01:14:03.880 I just have a feeling about it.

01:14:07.280 All right.

01:14:08.360 Ladies and gentlemen, that's all

01:14:10.040 I've got for now.

01:14:11.400 We're going to enter our

01:14:12.660 incredible, incredible Sunday.

01:14:14.840 It's going to be the best thing

01:14:16.100 ever.

01:14:22.440 It's called remission.

01:14:25.380 Well, I understand what

01:14:27.980 remission is.

01:14:29.360 And I know that you have to

01:14:30.720 watch them for five years or

01:14:32.280 something.

01:14:33.120 But we're talking about a

01:14:35.180 specific answer that basically

01:14:36.840 doesn't go into remission.

01:14:38.100 So at least nobody's ever heard

01:14:41.460 of it.

01:14:43.160 Nobody's ever heard of it doing

01:14:44.320 that.

01:14:45.240 But maybe it has.

01:14:47.020 But I would agree with you.

01:14:49.040 We are nowhere near proof.

01:14:51.440 So don't take any medical

01:14:53.900 recommendations from me.

01:14:55.340 But it does have that pattern

01:14:56.700 recognition thing where it makes

01:14:58.660 you think of ivermectin and other

01:15:00.380 things.

01:15:01.100 And so who knows?

01:15:02.940 Who knows?

01:15:03.660 Maybe we get lucky.

01:15:05.100 All right.

01:15:05.500 I'm going to talk to the locals

01:15:07.120 people privately for just a

01:15:08.780 moment.

01:15:09.860 The rest of you, thanks for

01:15:11.040 joining on Rumble and YouTube

01:15:13.520 and Spotify and all that.
