are pouring in even earlier than normal you're so smart i started 30 seconds early and you're
00:00:09.520
still here on time let me get my comments working and then i'll give you the show you've been craving
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:39.500
coffee with scott adams and i'm pretty sure you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take
00:00:45.840
your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:51.520
all you need for that is a cup or mugger a glass of tank of chalice dine a canteen jugger flask a
00:00:56.460
vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:01:01.660
unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's
00:01:05.820
called the simultaneous sip and you're gonna love it go
00:01:20.620
all right you ready for this there's a gonna be a p diddy documentary coming out telling us some of
00:01:30.300
the bad things he's done i don't know if you've heard but this guy named diddy has done allegedly
00:01:36.700
some bad stuff i won't give you any hints about it but i will warn you that the documentary effect
00:01:44.620
is an effect i warn you often often if you see a documentary on any topic it's going to be
00:01:52.780
non-stop you know at least an hour of things on one side and not the other side so i hate to say this
00:02:04.780
this is this is going to be hard for me i'm going to say a sentence that i almost can't get out of my
00:02:10.140
mouth you ready despite the many claims you're going to hear about p diddy
00:02:18.860
under our system he's innocent until proven guilty
00:02:27.500
i did it i stayed american i stayed american that's a tough standard you know anyway by the
00:02:34.940
time you're done with the documentary you're not going to think he's innocent until proven guilty
00:02:39.100
that much i know is that fair not at all it's not at all fair could you can you imagine being
00:02:46.700
arrested and have charges that might be leveled against you and next thing you know there's an
00:02:52.380
entire documentary about all your crimes that's not exactly fair is it interesting yes i'm going to
00:03:00.220
watch it for sure it do i think he's probably guilty of a lot of things well i do
00:03:05.820
but you're gonna have to prove it and if you ask me is it cool to have a documentary about somebody
00:03:14.140
who's in jail with charges i would say no no if there were some way without you know a direct attack
00:03:21.820
on free speech i can't think of a way but it seems like there's you know if a if a court can order let's
00:03:27.900
say a gag order a gag order is a routine thing right judges do that all the time and is that not
00:03:36.140
telling somebody that they can't use their free speech so so we have some precedent that the court
00:03:43.020
at least during the limited time of a trial can tell people to shut up but then they can do a documentary
00:03:50.620
you know i hate to be defending diddy but i think we need to all defend ourselves right because if
00:03:57.980
you or i are ever in jail and somebody does a documentary about how bad we are while we're
00:04:03.340
in jail waiting for waiting for trial that's not cool that's never cool it's free speech but it's
00:04:11.820
definitely not cool anyway uh here's a cool thing that might have an application to uh to the fire
00:04:22.300
recovery so fox news reports that uh kurt nuts and is reporting that there's a shape-shifting ai
00:04:28.940
transformer home so i'll let you imagine it so it's a imagine a mobile camper so it's that size but
00:04:38.700
there's no part where the driver sits you know there's no engine so it's not really a camper it
00:04:44.460
doesn't go anywhere it's stationary but it can be towed you know by an ordinary truck so an ordinary
00:04:50.460
truck tows this little mobile home looking thing but here's the cool part it's not as big as a mobile
00:04:58.540
home it's only that big when you're towing it as soon as it gets there you can push some buttons
00:05:04.380
and it expands um to a 400 square foot very well designed space now the well designed part is hard
00:05:13.580
to say without looking at the picture but trust me they they worked with not just a tech company
00:05:18.380
but they work with a design company what's the name of this company ac future um so they partnered and if
00:05:27.420
you know if you can trust my judgment on design it's really well designed like i looked at it and said oh
00:05:33.580
i would love spending some time in that thing if you can imagine that now imagine this
00:05:40.860
imagine you own some property in pacific palisades everything's burned down it might take years to
00:05:46.060
rebuild but suppose they got utilities working and they cleaned up the toxic stuff that could be sooner
00:05:56.140
so that might be six to nine months so by the way that's the current estimate i believe six to nine
00:06:01.820
months to get utilities and and the toxins removed now that's the government's estimate i don't know if
00:06:09.420
you believe that but let's say it's six to nine months and then we'll follow a lengthy building process
00:06:17.820
i think it's i think it's reasonable that the residents might put up with being displaced for six to nine
00:06:24.860
months but if you add on top of that the two years it takes to get a place approved and built even even
00:06:32.300
if they speed things up you're gonna have trouble getting labor and you know it's never it's never
00:06:36.540
gonna be fast could you imagine that some of the residents would say you know what let us get one or even
00:06:43.740
two of these things put them on our property put it in the backyard and we'll be there while the
00:06:49.660
construction happens now it'd be hard to work while the construction noise is going on but on the
00:06:54.940
other hand if you have house construction you really kind of need to be around if you've ever
00:06:59.740
experienced it if somebody is rebuilding your home you kind of need to be there all the time almost
00:07:05.820
you know every few days at least to make decisions and see if it's going in the right direction
00:07:10.700
so now you say to yourself but scott how god-awful expensive would it be to buy one of these cool
00:07:17.660
mobile things really expensive however if you play your cards right and here i'm just spitballing
00:07:24.700
here i don't know if this would work wouldn't it be true that they would have a resale value
00:07:30.140
when you're done so could you buy it for i don't know quarter of a million dollars i didn't see the
00:07:37.820
price maybe i have no idea what the price is and then when it's done you know maybe it's two years later
00:07:44.700
you sell it for something like a quarter of a million dollars because it might not even go down
00:07:50.940
in value that people might want them right so it's entirely possible um you know not probable but
00:08:00.220
maybe there's some temporary way where you could have a pretty cool life now let me give you a little
00:08:05.660
little uh best case scenario my understanding that and this is the only reliable estimate i've gotten
00:08:13.740
eyewitness uh of how bad the destruction is um it's something like maybe 20 25 of the homes in
00:08:22.620
pacific palisades survived you know but they have smoke damage and and all the rest so if you imagine
00:08:29.180
that maybe 20 of the residents have some capability of getting back into it faster than others what would
00:08:37.020
that be like and would you do it if the if you if your nearest neighbor was the only other burned house
00:08:43.980
you know a street over would you want to live there your your first impression would be no let me give
00:08:51.820
you your second impression if you moved in there and everything was just a few people
00:08:59.100
you you would be friends with james woods because he would be one of the few people
00:09:03.740
so suddenly all these people that maybe you didn't know but were kind of cool they're just cool
00:09:10.300
people it's not that they're rich not that they're famous they're just cool yeah you'd be able to hang
00:09:16.060
out with all of them because james woods would say hi to everybody he'd probably come over to your
00:09:22.380
come over to your place because there's nothing else to do so you would end up being friends with this
00:09:28.780
weird combination of people that were not your direct neighbors and probably you wouldn't have met
00:09:33.420
otherwise but they would gravitate toward each other because they were the survivors
00:09:38.060
i i contend that although that was described as heaven on earth just the best place in the world
00:09:44.460
to live they're not going to get back to that right away but they could get back to something that's
00:09:50.540
amazing like actually just amazing and it could happen in a year so if you want the good news
00:09:58.780
probably one year until 20 of the residents have something like an amazing just an amazing situation
00:10:07.180
because they're going to get the weather back they're going to get the climate back
00:10:10.540
and they're going to get a social structure back somewhat instantly that is beyond anything that you
00:10:16.940
and i have seen now i've had an experience with that and here's why i think it's possible
00:10:23.980
i used to stay a little extra long in college so there'd be that last day before the holiday
00:10:29.900
before thanksgiving or christmas and i'd stay the extra day when almost everybody else would go home
00:10:35.740
and what would happen would be there'd be maybe 25 students left on campus that last night what do you
00:10:42.300
think we did it was 25 people that i didn't know we would all find each other and we would have just the
00:10:49.500
best time just the best time complete strangers because we were the ones who stayed behind so there
00:10:56.940
is some hope anyway um here's the weirdest news and i'm going to call this a simulation alert
00:11:07.260
that if we did not live in the simulation i don't believe this could ever happen
00:11:12.620
all right now i'm not going to have to make the connection to the simulation you'll see it yourself
00:11:17.500
i'll just tell you the story and then you connect it to the simulation
00:11:23.500
according to the daily mail there is now some science that shows that injecting a common household
00:11:30.620
disinfectant into your body could help cure cancer
00:11:38.460
injecting a household disinfectant now be careful i'm not suggesting that anybody inject any disinfectants
00:11:47.420
it's a very specific special case it's not every disinfectant it's just hydrogen peroxide and i
00:11:54.780
guess if you they found out if you give a little injection into a tumor or a cancer cell it weakens it
00:12:01.740
so your other treatments can work so don't do it yourself do not do not inject any anything into yourself
00:12:10.140
ever uh it's just a test but what are the odds that there would be a headline as trump is going into
00:12:17.340
office there's a headline about you know it'd be a good idea sometimes to inject some household disinfectant
00:12:24.140
into your body cure some cancer come on come on you think this is a real world when you see stuff like
00:12:35.500
this this this couldn't possibly be real no anyway uh senator fetterman and his wife went to visit trump
00:12:46.780
at mar-a-lago washington examiner uh selena zito is talking about it and what do you how do you think that
00:12:53.500
went you know if you haven't heard the news do you think trump said well you know he he took the knee or
00:13:01.740
you know do you think he insulted him how do you think that went well here's how it went here's what
00:13:08.140
trump said afterwards um he said quote it was a totally fascinating meeting he's a fascinating man
00:13:15.980
and his wife is lovely they were both up and i couldn't be more impressed trump said about fetterman
00:13:21.980
his wife he said they had an hour-long meeting and he's trump said he's a common-sense person
00:13:28.540
he's not liberal or conservative he's just a common-sense person which is beautiful trump said
00:13:38.060
i rest my case i rest my case you know i i've been saying good things about fetterman and getting
00:13:44.540
slapped around on social media because because the thinking is you can't say anything nice about the
00:13:50.620
other team because winning is the important thing now i understand that and i'm completely on board with
00:13:57.180
the concept of winning is the most important thing if the alternative is complete destruction of your
00:14:02.940
country i get it i get it winning is the most important thing if evil is the alternative but
00:14:09.820
sometimes you you've got to put a little nuance on this the the fact that trump can call out somebody on
00:14:18.220
the other team as being a paragon of common sense it improves trump's messaging because if trump had
00:14:27.420
said i love common sense and when the most famous common sense person on the other side came to talk
00:14:33.500
with him if he had somehow rejected him or dismissed him or insulted him or or even played it off as not
00:14:39.580
important that would have been a huge mistake because his most central message is the thing that brings us
00:14:45.740
together is common sense and so when he sees somebody coming together over common sense he's got to call
00:14:52.700
that out because because this it looks like trump complimenting fetterman and he is but it's really
00:14:59.980
trump complimenting the concept of common sense which amazingly has to be championed in a day where
00:15:06.620
there's so little of it you know it's just remarkable that you have to even mention it but yeah that's
00:15:12.300
that's the secret sauce is the common sense and it is the unifier and trump is playing it exactly right
00:15:21.180
speaking of trump so the inauguration is coming and security is very important but a couple of
00:15:27.260
things about that um i don't know if this is true but it it was reported that the major drone maker
00:15:36.300
that is a chinese-owned company dji is it so most of the drones everywhere are made by one company in
00:15:43.900
in china they're basically the you know the big drone company in the world and what they had been
00:15:49.580
doing china is making their drones geofenced which i thought was a requirement but maybe it isn't because
00:15:58.140
they dropped it so geofencing means that since the drone has a gps you know it knows where it is
00:16:06.140
it would be prevented even if you tried to fly it there it'd be prevented to go over a navy base or
00:16:12.140
military base or or you know some government facility so even if you wanted to fly your chinese drone over
00:16:19.900
the white house you couldn't do it until now allegedly china just dropped the at least the
00:16:28.140
company just dropped the geofencing barrier so correct me if i'm wrong i'll take a fact check
00:16:34.860
on this because there's there's part of my brain that says i'm not sure this is true
00:16:39.500
well all right i'm gonna go i'm gonna go harder at it i'm gonna say that if you're looking to spot
00:16:46.140
fake news you know i always say the two on the nose something's a little too perfect this one's
00:16:52.860
striking me as a little too perfect that just days before the inauguration where the biggest risk
00:16:59.660
at least in our minds the biggest risk would be an aerial drone-like attack especially if there's
00:17:06.380
more than one of them at the very time that we're thinking of it the one company that makes the most
00:17:13.020
you know i would say dangerous drones if you happen to be in america and you're sort of the
00:17:18.940
hobbyist level drone the most dangerous ones drop their defense and become weaponized at exactly the
00:17:27.500
time it would threaten trump does that feel a little too perfect that so let me say this i'm gonna say
00:17:35.020
i'm gonna say i don't believe it it could be true but it's so on the nose that i'm gonna say put a pin
00:17:45.900
in that one and give me a fact check in a few days okay get back to me on that and tell me if that's
00:17:51.180
true it doesn't it's not smelling right you know what i mean a little too perfect and then uh i hear
00:17:59.980
that netanyahu cancelled plans to go to the inauguration which some people are interpreting
00:18:06.780
as a sign that it needs more security because maybe netanyahu thought it wasn't safe enough
00:18:14.540
but that's speculation uh i don't know if you've noticed that netanyahu has a few things to do this
00:18:20.860
week as in they're negotiating the hostage release etc so so netanyahu has all the reason in the world not
00:18:28.940
to come you know there's nothing surprising about that but he got invited so you know that's that's
00:18:34.940
like a win-win for him i would say all right um there's some fake news about tick tock i think it's fake
00:18:45.580
that chinese officials are talking about um allowing elon musk and me and for some reason only him
00:18:52.540
to buy tick tock so tick tock will be not available in america unless something happened like just the
00:19:00.140
next few days that would allow an american to buy it now if china and the chinese owned company don't
00:19:08.300
want to sell it it doesn't matter if anybody wants to buy it but i'm not sure anybody put together an
00:19:14.220
offer that's would look like it's acceptable so i think i think china the government uh said this was
00:19:23.580
fake news and that china is not allowing there's nobody who's in power who says that elon musk should
00:19:30.300
buy tick tock so bloomberg said it was unnamed sources so how often have the anonymous sources of
00:19:39.580
any story been correct when was the last time they were correct i don't remember a time i can't think
00:19:46.540
of one time an anonymous source was right not once now whistleblowers yes but they're not anonymous
00:19:56.940
as soon as you say anonymous source and bloomberg i don't believe anything that comes after that
00:20:02.220
i mean those are two two red flags for not being real bloomberg red flag and then unnamed source
00:20:10.380
red flag so i'm gonna say that's fake news that's my judgment claudia was leaving for her pickleball
00:20:16.380
tournament i've been visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see
00:20:21.980
the column behind her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the
00:20:28.220
largest network of auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one
00:20:32.700
roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the
00:20:38.140
first round but you got there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply
00:20:45.660
uh there's also some fake news about julia roberts and the news actually is accurate
00:20:52.060
in this case i think i saw in the new york post so the new york post had it exactly accurate
00:20:56.620
but by the time social media read it and reinterpreted it they turned it into fake news so here's the
00:21:03.900
real news the real news is that julie roberts your actress julie roberts said on instagram f you to
00:21:13.180
looters as 10 million dollar homes continued to be robbed during the la fires now that got interpreted
00:21:20.860
on social media as the home owned by julie roberts that was worth 10 million dollars got looted that
00:21:28.940
did not happen she was not talking about her own home and indeed doesn't seem to live there anymore
00:21:35.100
but nobody knows where she lives but it might be in the bay area so she might be my neighbor literally
00:21:40.140
she might literally be my neighbor uh if she's in the northern california
00:21:45.180
so that's accidental fake news but the new york post got it exactly right interesting engineering
00:21:54.700
a publication and uh article by uh abhishek bardwaj is that there's something called a fire dome
00:22:04.620
that's been invented uh there's a company that it's an israeli based firm called fire dome
00:22:10.460
now my understanding is it's not physically a dome but what it is is a combination of ai and cameras and
00:22:18.540
drones i guess and defensive tactics so that uh you could spot or or a town or a house could spot
00:22:26.860
a fire before it gets to the house so you would somehow see the fire when it's small send out your
00:22:33.580
drones to stop the fire right away now that's not going to work if the wind is 100 miles an hour
00:22:39.500
but um and it would even work if it's off the grid so it monitors the property and then responds as
00:22:50.220
some kind of uh anti-fire suppression stuff too so does wildfire detection protection and suppression
00:22:59.180
now i think that's probably not something that you know la cities can implement tomorrow and isn't
00:23:06.540
going to work that well if uh you know if the wind is 100 miles an hour but it's nice to know it's out
00:23:13.180
there here's something cool that also relates to uh that so rice university has this new innovation
00:23:22.220
where they use the dialysis machine for treating wastewater and so dialysis what you would do to purify
00:23:29.820
blood they uh ran i don't know how much if it's modified or just exactly a dialysis but they ran some
00:23:36.940
you know dirty salt water through it and it did a good job of cleaning the salt down at much more effective
00:23:43.900
technology than current technology so not only could it maybe clean some of the waste but the the bigger
00:23:50.860
part is that it's desalinate does desalinization which is which would allow you to use the ocean as your
00:23:57.500
water source if you could do it inexpensively so it's not quite ready for use but that looks very
00:24:02.860
promising also um according to the financial times the the u.s natural gas industry is poised to expand
00:24:11.820
like crazy when trump lifts a number of biden era restrictions on it but how much could that change
00:24:19.900
the economy that could add that could ramp up our exports by 1.3 trillion dollars over the next five
00:24:28.460
years wow um i hate it when they give numbers over five years because your brain wants to make it one
00:24:37.820
year and it's sort of a trick if you're trying to make the number look big you say over five or ten years
00:24:44.940
if you wanted to make small you say well it'll be no more than a billion dollars in the first year
00:24:50.540
or whatever it is but 1.3 trillion over five years that's pretty important we'll take that thank you
00:24:58.940
very much trump well the fed and mike johnson are looking at some relief for california which would be
00:25:08.380
probably a big dollar thing but uh johnson is concerned as all of us are that anything the
00:25:16.140
federal government gives to california will be wasted on bullshit or just stolen so the state does not have
00:25:23.660
the credibility required to receive money let me say that again my state is so poorly run that is not
00:25:33.580
credible as a place to give federal aid that's a big problem okay how do you solve that well uh in the
00:25:43.820
past i think it was 9 11 maybe there are other examples there would be some kind of a czar to
00:25:49.580
oversee the government funding so it doesn't get stolen given to the wrong people and so i saw mike
00:25:57.020
saying we need some kind of a czar and i agree i'm 100 on board with
00:26:03.580
we need a czar now how in the world do you find somebody who would be credible and competent and
00:26:12.700
not already doing something else where do you find these credible competent people who are not already
00:26:21.260
completely busy doing some other credible competent thing well it's pretty rare pretty rare but an
00:26:28.220
interesting suggestion from cerno was uh naval ravikant and if you hear if he hears me talk about it you
00:26:37.900
might hate it because it's like it would be the worst job in the world
00:26:44.060
i can't imagine taking the job of doge i mean just all credit all credit to musk and the fake for taking
00:26:51.580
that on i mean would you take that on that would be you know i like challenges but i would look at
00:26:58.220
that one and go ah maybe not me now likewise the the job of you know making sure that the funding coming
00:27:05.980
into california is not a fun job you're just going to get destroyed so you need somebody who's
00:27:13.580
invulnerable invulnerable to um criticism that they've reached that point in their life they're
00:27:20.140
invulnerable somebody who's obviously capable like really obviously capable but here's the important
00:27:28.460
part you want somebody who is famously non-political how are you going to find that somebody who is
00:27:35.340
brilliant capable non-political and willing to work on something well naval is actually sad that he's he
00:27:44.620
you know given the right situation if it fit his talents he'd be willing to help out the government
00:27:51.660
in some hard places where maybe you just need a little help that was suitable to his talents so sorry
00:27:59.340
duvall you're perfect i apologize in advance but you're kind of perfect if this is the thing maybe this
00:28:10.060
is the thing maybe just consider it all right uh talk about timing so a month ago um i would have said
00:28:23.660
something like you know i don't think democrats could possibly look more incompetent or more
00:28:29.100
evil just sort of watching how the biden administration has come together in the
00:28:34.780
elections and the law fair and everything else i would have said there's no way they can top what
00:28:40.940
we've seen then the fires my god i don't think democrats could find any way to look more incompetent
00:28:47.580
or more evil uh here's an update on how wrong i was according to the daily wire uh as the fires are raging
00:28:55.980
which is not funny but um governor newsom and the democrats have agreed to set aside 50 million
00:29:03.020
dollars to fight the trump administration and defend illegal immigrants
00:29:10.860
i feel like the democrats don't have any kind of smart people because read the room the state's on fire
00:29:22.300
based almost entirely on the incompetence of the people who should be doing the fire suppression in the
00:29:28.780
first place if at the same time you're failing in a way that we've rarely ever seen the the depth of the
00:29:39.740
spectacular incompetence something that will last the ages we're talking about something that's not the
00:29:48.860
headline this week but it's going down in history as the worst managed state of all time
00:29:57.980
and during that context they thought it'd be a good idea to put 50 million dollars away
00:30:04.460
to defeat the will of the american people who voted by a majority to have the trump administration do what
00:30:12.620
it said it said it would do can you be any more incompetent than not being able to even get the
00:30:20.620
politics right okay okay fire suppression is pretty hard pretty hard they should have done it but it's not
00:30:30.220
hard to read the room when the state's on fire maybe we should back off on a little some of the
00:30:36.380
the bullshit maybe a little less bullshit when the fucking state's on fire well there goes my there

00:31:50.940
uh do you remember that there was the client science scientist michael mann and he was in a lawsuit
00:32:00.380
with mark stein over claims of climate change so mark stein was criticizing uh this one scientist as
00:32:10.060
well as climate change and the scientist michael mann decided to sue him for the things he said
00:32:15.820
and uh he won the scientists won so he i guess stein owes him a million dollars or something for
00:32:23.100
something that the court decided the scientist was right and stein had gone too far but uh the national
00:32:31.660
review which is where i guess stein had made the offending comments had also made their own comments
00:32:38.060
about stein's comments more you know not not uh criticizing him just weighing in on it and
00:32:46.700
they were also included at one point in lawsuit but they've been removed because what they were doing
00:32:52.140
was more like free speech and not so much you know defaming somebody so they got dropped but now the
00:32:58.780
scientist who got a million dollars for mark stein is being ordered to pay half a million to
00:33:07.580
the national review to pay their lawyers and that's only a partial payment that could go
00:33:13.180
further so let me get this right stein allegedly defames the scientist scientist gets a million from
00:33:23.100
stein but the scientist may have gone too far in defaming the the national review so now the court is
00:33:32.540
saying that they have to give the national review half a million and then there's more coming
00:33:38.460
of the national review half a million and then there's more coming out of the national review
00:33:45.660
so basically it was just mark stein paying his own employers legal fees by the time it's all done
00:33:53.340
i just you when you see what the lawyers did to the situation it made it so much worse it's just it's
00:34:02.540
just no sense of anything that's right or wrong it's just a legal morass anyway
00:34:11.900
that's fun to watch uh but my my take on this whole story is uh why do we let the courts decide
00:34:20.860
what science is correct doesn't that seem like a mistake to let the court decide who got their science
00:34:27.900
right because i'm pretty sure that you know well i'm sure the case was more about what an individual
00:34:34.220
did or did not do not just the science but uh here's something that uh according to this report
00:34:41.100
that's in the uh daily caller news foundation uh according to them during the trial there was a
00:34:50.460
testimony from a tenured statistics professor and the chair of the undergraduate stats program in
00:34:56.300
the university of pennsylvania wharton school all right so keep in mind this is the statistic
00:35:02.620
statistics professor and i think at the same school that michael man is at or was that and the wharton
00:35:10.940
wharton school at least in pennsylvania university of pennsylvania and uh so i don't know if they were in
00:35:17.900
exactly the same place but both in pennsylvania let's just say both in pennsylvania at the time anyway
00:35:24.380
this expert in statistics testified that uh at the mark stein trial that man the scientist engaged in
00:35:31.580
quote improper manipulation of data such that his signature model was quote misleading now what do i
00:35:41.020
always say about scientists let me remind you if you're a really good scientist as say
00:35:47.820
biology are you also really good at statistics probably not probably not if you're a really good scientist
00:35:57.980
at anything are you also good at statistics you could be but probably not you know that might not be your
00:36:08.140
expert domain but this guy is a statistician and if he says you know i don't know anything about climate
00:36:15.820
change but i'm looking at your numbers and you didn't do the numbers right that would be quite
00:36:21.020
meaningful to me so here's somebody who's good at numbers and he's a tenured professor of statistics
00:36:28.940
and he says you did the numbers wrong and those numbers are driving your model so michael man in case
00:36:36.700
you're watching i don't know what's true and i'm not blaming you of anything since i don't want to get sued
00:36:43.340
but i think the whole situation is funny and i find it hard to take any of it as credible
00:36:51.980
um but speaking of climate change the the wall street journal had a pretty funny editorial
00:36:57.900
uh apparently there's a new term that the democrats are trotting out called hydro climate whiplash
00:37:05.820
and it's caused by climate change and it means that in california for example some year it will be
00:37:11.660
extra dry but the next year could be extra wet and then the year after that could be extra dry
00:37:18.620
now this is something that's happened in california since the beginning of recorded records
00:37:23.740
sometimes extra dry sometimes extra wet and sometimes extra dry and i don't know if i mentioned it
00:37:31.340
sometimes extra wet but the climate experts have decided
00:37:35.180
that they're going to call it a cool name hydro climate whiplash and try to sell you on the fact
00:37:42.220
it's caused by climate change have i mentioned that in the entire history of california sometimes it's
00:37:48.220
extra wet sometimes it's extra dry just like the last few years so if the last few years are exactly
00:37:55.180
like the history of california that's clearly caused by climate change what so it's the baseline
00:38:03.420
the way it's always been but it must be caused by climate change so when it's dry it's climate change
00:38:11.340
when it's wet it's climate change and when it changes from dry to wet or wet to dry it's climate change
00:38:16.780
climate change huh may i give you one of the best ways to spot a scam here's how to spot any scam not
00:38:27.500
climate change specifically but just any scam hey i've got an idea that if you take this pill
00:38:35.340
your hair will regrow test test test nobody's hair regrows did i say hair would regrow i said it
00:38:44.060
we really found out it makes you taller test test test doesn't make you taller doesn't make your hair
00:38:51.180
grow well while you were testing it i found out that it makes your breath smell better
00:38:58.620
okay do you see where this is going if if the claim stays the same even while all the assumptions and
00:39:05.820
the facts change the claim was never true if you're sticking to the claim no matter what
00:39:13.900
you see it's not data driven and climate change might be true but we don't believe it because it's
00:39:22.780
data driven we believe it because we've been told to believe it now could there be data yes
00:39:30.540
could could humans be influencing uh climate yes they could be do i know how much or how dangerous
00:39:37.900
that would be nobody does nobody does all right but it's not very high on my list of things to worry
00:39:45.580
about however uh what would be as the wall street journal editorial board goes on um what would be
00:39:53.100
some of the things that california is doing to battle the wildfires you're probably thinking oh they're
00:39:59.820
gonna do lots of fire mitigation remove all those burnable things maybe have better resources nearby
00:40:08.060
stuff like that right well maybe but uh they've got a climate bond which uh partly i'll be paying for
00:40:16.220
that has uh 36 million dollars for sequestering the carbon and reduced emissions from ranches and farms
00:40:22.860
that i don't think we need 47 million for expansion of green streets parks and schoolyards
00:40:30.060
okay that would be nice but i don't think we need it to stop the fires 80 million dollars for
00:40:36.220
climate action through nature-based solutions to improve equitable access to nature yeah i like
00:40:44.220
equitable access to nature but i feel like everybody can walk outdoors 80 million dollars
00:40:51.580
190 million dollars for parks in the state's most disadvantaged communities because when the state's on fire
00:40:59.260
i'm thinking if only we had more parks and the disadvantaged communities and 228 million to build
00:41:07.420
for port upgrades so we can support offshore wind generation which is the worst idea in the world
00:41:13.980
so in order to support the worst idea for energy we're going to spend 228 million dollars to just
00:41:21.100
get there so that's my state now let me ask you again do you think we need a some kind of a czar
00:41:31.180
to watch the spending coming in from the feds if the feds gave california spending for fire mitigation
00:41:37.740
they would spend it on climate change wouldn't they if the california democrats say climate change is
00:41:45.500
the problem and the federal government says here's a you know billions of dollars to go fix your fire
00:41:52.220
problem what the hell are they going to spend the money on the democrats will spend it on climate change
00:41:58.540
and equitable parks and ports for windmills right what would stop them nothing would stop them and
00:42:08.700
then of course they steal a lot now would naval i'll just pick a name sorry naval i hate to do this to
00:42:16.620
him but do you think naval would have taken that money and said yeah let's put this into the ports for
00:42:22.620
the windmills no wind turbines you can call it wind turbines if you want to be non-trumpy and about it

00:42:53.260
meanwhile uh jack smith special counsel as you know has resigned and he was the one bringing the
00:43:00.540
january 6 related charge against trump and uh in his report um he he said uh quote uh i can assure you
00:43:11.580
that not neither i well not in his report or he said about it anyway i can assure you that neither i
00:43:17.580
nor the prosecutors on my team nor the prosecutors on my team would have tolerated or taken part in
00:43:22.540
any action by our office for partisan political purposes come on okay can i read that again with the
00:43:32.540
proper attitude i can assure you that neither i nor the prosecutors on my team would have tolerated or
00:43:41.340
taken part in any action by our office for partisan political purposes come on that's ridiculous
00:43:57.740
lying he was well in a sense he was charging trump because the most important part of his charges
00:44:06.620
are wait for it that trump knew knew not assumed but knew that the 2020 election was fair
00:44:16.940
uh how does anybody know that that's not knowable you could know that nobody approved it was unfair
00:44:27.420
that's fair but is that the same as proving it wasn't rigged how could anybody know if it wasn't rigged
00:44:36.140
it's designed so you can't know the the design of the system guarantees that the public and even the
00:44:42.860
president can't know who won there is no way to know who won by design now you can challenge me on that
00:44:51.740
but you're gonna lose the design makes it impossible to know who won we know who has declared the winner
00:44:58.140
and we know if any big problems were found and and concluded by the court to be big problems
00:45:04.220
but we don't ever know who won our system cannot tell us that it can only tell us what they want to tell
00:45:11.180
us that's all we know but jack smith um has used the standard that trump made some quote obviously false
00:45:22.620
claims about the 2020 election rigging obviously false what would be an example of something obviously
00:45:31.020
false well i can assure you that neither i nor the prosecutors on my team would have tolerated or even
00:45:39.660
taken part in any action by your office for partisan political purposes that's obviously false you know
00:45:48.940
what's not obviously false that the election was rigged maybe it was rigged maybe it wasn't it's not
00:45:58.620
obviously false now he said some parts of the claims were obviously false now there might have been some
00:46:07.500
that kind of stood out as well that doesn't look likely but if you tell me that half of the country
00:46:13.260
thought it was obviously rigged and half of the country agreed with trump if half of the country
00:46:19.740
thinks the same thing as trump it's calling that obviously wrong obviously what what is the definition of
00:46:27.740
obvious now in my definition if half of the country can't see what you think everybody can see it's not
00:46:33.580
obvious it's the opposite of obvious so the the fact that we could allow that reframe to to haunt us this
00:46:41.740
far the reframe that somehow you could know who won in our system amazing just amazing that it got this
00:46:49.260
far that is pure hoax pure hoax and and you don't even have to research to know that that's a hoax because you
00:46:56.540
can't know what you don't know unless you have a system that was designed to make sure that you could
00:47:02.940
know all things and it's not that it's certainly not designed that way anyway and then uh smith but
00:47:11.900
in his report by the way he released his 176 page report even though the trial is canceled so you can
00:47:18.860
see all the bad news about trump but it's in 176 page report most of which i guess we knew nobody's
00:47:25.420
going to read this 176 page report nope nobody's going to read it but smith said he blamed the
00:47:32.380
violence of that day squarely on trump who quote engaged in unprecedented criminal effort to overturn
00:47:39.500
the legitimate results the legitimate results wait a minute the sentence has another illogical part in
00:47:45.500
it the the legitimate results well they were legitimated by the system i guess that would be true but is it
00:47:55.020
legitimate legitimate because that that's sort of up to me isn't it it's up to you and it's up to
00:48:01.100
anybody looking at it do you think it's legitimate i wouldn't call it that it was legitimized by the
00:48:08.780
system but i don't trust the system so that's not legitimacy um in order to retain power do you think
00:48:17.500
that he did it in order to retain power because there is no evidence to support that so his main
00:48:25.020
claim that the reason he did it was that he knew it was he knew the election was good but he only did
00:48:31.180
it to retain power there's no evidence for that at all what what did they read his mind is there some
00:48:37.500
evidence that he told somebody directly yeah you know i think the election was fair but i just want to
00:48:42.780
retain power is there any evidence to that no the primary claim that he's summarizing has no evidence
00:48:50.540
whatsoever none was presented none was proffered there's none this is just his own weird assumption
00:48:57.820
how did he turn his own weird assumption into something that looks like proof when it's just based
00:49:02.780
on his own weird assumption do you know if uh uh by the way i'm going to be totally demonetized
00:49:12.460
i expect to be totally demonetized for even questioning that the that the integrity of
00:49:18.220
the election could be known or or not known that would be enough i think to i'll be completely demonetized
00:49:24.780
watch um just demonetized for the episode not for the whole channel um but here's what trump says
00:49:36.220
on true social he did a rant against smith and uh he called it fake findings at 1 a.m and uh well he
00:49:44.860
was released at 1 a.m i guess for some reason he called uh smith deranged and he said he was uh smith is
00:49:52.300
a lame brain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the election now who's messaging
00:49:59.500
are we going to remember i have 176 page document in which i i claimed was not political but everybody
00:50:08.380
knows it was and there's nothing in it that you don't know versus trump uh a lame brain prosecutor
00:50:15.900
who was unable to get his case tried before the election now he was unable because trump's lawyers
00:50:20.220
did a really good job of you know dragging it out anyway that's happening michael schellenberger
00:50:27.500
is on uh tucker uh podcast and it's amazing it's amazing yeah you know i haven't watched it all
00:50:37.420
but watching michael schellenberger just uh explain things you're watching in the news but you haven't
00:50:43.980
heard the right context and you don't know exactly the the stuff that you should know but he does
00:50:48.380
is it was really good and i'm glad to know tucker introduced him by saying that in tucker's opinion he
00:50:55.420
was the best in the business schellenberger i think that too i i think we haven't seen
00:51:02.860
michael schellenberger that i can think of um i mean he's so good at explaining the complicated stuff
00:51:10.940
so the complicated stuff is what the the the lesser the lesser journalists i'm not even sure
00:51:18.460
if schellenberger calls himself a journalist i i don't know what he prefers to go by but uh he does
00:51:24.620
the job the journalist should be doing and he does it amazingly and it's so valuable to get the full
00:51:30.780
context anyway um he tells us that half of all fires put out by the la fire department are started by
00:51:37.660
homeless but and so tucker asked the obvious question why do homeless people start fires
00:51:44.460
now i thought the answer was going to be something like crazy people do stuff but schellenberger had
00:51:50.380
actually an insightful take on that he said it turns out that methods love to start fires
00:51:56.780
so i guess within the people who understand the you know the drug world which again is yet another
00:52:03.740
thing that schellenberger has done a deep dive on so when he does a deep dive on the fires
00:52:09.980
he already has done a deep dive in a different time on the drug homeless problem so he's one of the few
00:52:15.580
people who could say well let's let's put these together and see what we see so when he puts it together
00:52:20.940
with the homeless suddenly the you know any of the conspiracy stuff disappears because he can tell you
00:52:27.020
there's something about people on meth they like the fire their choices are different but there's a
00:52:33.580
very there's a very consistency that meth equals starting fires so i didn't know that that that
00:52:42.780
certainly uh is interesting and then there was a more interesting point i'm not going to say i agree with
00:52:48.860
this uh but i'm going to say it's really interesting that uh the theory and i do i'm going to do a bad
00:52:56.220
job of explaining it so watch watch michael schellenberger explain it you'll do the the good version
00:53:02.220
but when people don't have a religion uh as many californians would fit into that category that uh
00:53:10.940
people don't just get rid of a religion they replace it now that's the part which i'm willing to believe
00:53:19.660
but i need a little more convincing kind of makes sense so i'm not i'm not debunking it whatsoever
00:53:25.660
i'm just saying i love how interesting this is so and the thought is that since religion has built
00:53:33.100
into it there's an invisible person watching you and you better not do these things that
00:53:38.300
that gets replaced with some kind of internalized guilt that even though there's not an invisible
00:53:45.100
god watching you you're you're bad and you need to you need to improve so it becomes kind of
00:53:51.820
self-destructive and you can end up doing things that are not in your best interest even if your
00:53:57.740
plan is not to do things that are not in your best interest it's just that you're led in that direction
00:54:02.780
by some kind of you know a guilt and so that that would cause something like the la fires according to
00:54:10.220
michael are an emergent property of abandoning religion and inventing your own source of guilt now
00:54:16.460
those are my words but essentially he calls it an emergent property so nobody planned it it's just
00:54:23.260
that once you've abandoned religion you replace it with guilt you start working on your guilt and that
00:54:30.060
might not be where you should be fixing problems if the problem you're trying to fix is your own guilt
00:54:36.380
you do dei if the problem you're trying to fix is that it might burn up your state if you don't do fire
00:54:43.020
stuff you do fire prevention stuff so it could be that the lack of having a religion to take care of
00:54:50.300
the the conscience caused people to change their focus to look for a way to get that same religious
00:54:58.140
feeling without the religion do i buy that not entirely but it's fascinating and it could be
00:55:06.940
completely true so i'm willing to say that's a great hypothesis let's keep it open let's keep that
00:55:13.820
hypothesis open i'm not sold not sold but it's sellable it's very sellable meanwhile on cnn uh jim acosta
00:55:25.420
was talking to the potato looking guy i can't remember his name uh or somebody i can't remember but uh he was
00:55:31.740
saying that uh talking about uh zuckerberg and the biden administration censoring jim acosta says
00:55:39.180
all they were doing is asking for a covet disinformation to be removed you know that's
00:55:43.180
what they should be doing really all they were doing is asking for covet disinformation to be removed
00:55:51.260
uh does jim acosta not know how the whole free speech thing works you're allowed to say things that
00:55:58.780
aren't right you can say it all day long according to our constitution does the government have some
00:56:06.060
uh some responsibility and or right to tell you you can't be wrong according to that no of course not
00:56:14.620
it's a total ridiculousness uh so the redefining free speech is agreeing with the government
00:56:21.100
the opposite of free speech so if you watch cnn just just hold this in your mind if you watch cnn
00:56:28.300
you wouldn't know what free speech was isn't that wild so if you didn't learn it and learn it well
00:56:35.740
you know in some kind of educational process it's the first time you came into discussion of what what
00:56:41.180
does free speech mean because it's a little bit complicated it's not as obvious as it looks right who
00:56:47.580
can say what can you yell fire in the crowded theater can you defame somebody can you say things
00:56:54.620
that are wrong about an important medical issue it's a little bit complicated but it gets simplified
00:57:03.340
when you say you know as long as you're not doing it with the intention of harming somebody or it's not
00:57:08.380
ridiculous uh you can do it even the ridiculous part is too far um anyway
00:57:19.020
here's what i wouldn't mind the government doing i wouldn't mind if the government or even the social
00:57:25.500
media said we're going to pair any any statement that looks uh non-factual to the government with what
00:57:33.100
the government says now even if the government's wrong and the person's saying the criticism is
00:57:38.860
right i don't mind seeing both sides do you so i wouldn't want it to be a law that you always have
00:57:45.900
to see the government side but if some social network said you know the government just so you know
00:57:51.660
the government has an opposite opinion i would like to know that because i think we're smart enough now
00:57:58.220
to know that the government isn't always the one that's right quite often i mean we've seen it on
00:58:02.860
both sides it's not a political thing we see that the government's sometimes right sometimes wrong
00:58:07.900
everybody would agree with that statement sometimes right sometimes wrong so if i see both sides
00:58:14.060
i'm not going to complain about that but i wouldn't want the government to mandate it so if
00:58:19.340
facebook decided you know we're going to make sure you see both sides that's okay
00:58:23.500
no problem but here's what here's what's funny about cnn cnn has what i call clowns and then they
00:58:32.540
have people who are maybe just biased and the clowns with people like john avalon jim acosta jasmine
00:58:40.380
crockett they don't seem like serious people they seem like people who just went on there to say
00:58:45.980
whatever's bad with trump and that's it but when i but that's not true of all the cnn
00:58:53.580
hosts you know when i when i watch anderson cooper or jake tapper i might not like the way they're
00:59:00.220
approaching uh something but sometimes they'll say something bad about democrats like biden's brain you
00:59:06.860
know why didn't you tell a shooter now you could say well it was safe to say it after it was too late
00:59:11.500
because it didn't make any difference but you know the criticism you would do for say a tapper or an
00:59:18.140
anderson cooper would be about bias but it wouldn't be their clowns but some of their some of their
00:59:25.740
people on air just strike me as clowns but here's the funny thing they also uh either intentionally or
00:59:33.500
unintentionally hired the best clown killer of all time scott jennings so if you're not watching scott
00:59:39.580
jennings being the often the lone voice sometimes he has somebody else on there that's conservative but
00:59:45.420
he's often the lone voice on the panel for the republican side of things and uh so here so
00:59:53.660
here's what i love so cnn's producers seemingly intentionally because how could you not know
01:00:00.300
this they they paired their best uh republican clown killer with the democrats worst clown so they put
01:00:08.380
scott jennings sitting literally right next to john avalon i mean he's probably the head clown of the
01:00:14.380
entire network and uh so so avalon says some clownish thing uh and then he then jennings says let me
01:00:25.340
answer your criticism by asking you a question do you think it was uniting so uh what jen what avalon said
01:00:32.300
was um that people online are fueling division over wildfires instead of unity so john avalon is
01:00:41.580
worried about the you know the the democrat criticism so he thinks the criticism is overdone
01:00:48.460
and what we should really be shooting for is unity to you know get things done and after this unity call
01:00:54.060
from the clown jennings says let me answer your criticisms by asking you a question do you think
01:00:58.620
it was uniting or dividing while in the midst of these fires for the democrats to go to sacramento
01:01:05.420
and in an emergency session vote to appropriate 50 million dollars to quote trump-proof california
01:01:13.100
to sue the trump administration which hasn't even taken office yet do you think that was good priority
01:01:19.740
and a good time to do that or or no uh was that dividing was that divisive or was that uniting
01:01:26.460
okay and we're done cnn's producers put the clown killer next to the clown thank you that's good
01:01:38.860
stuff i'll watch that all day long cnn you got me you got me if you keep putting the clown killer next
01:01:46.780
to the clowns i'm going to watch you all day long uh your your ratings are going to turn around give me
01:01:52.700
that give me more of that clown killer and clown can't beat it when i found out my friend got a
01:01:58.860
great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners
01:02:05.820
like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold
01:02:11.740
earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that
01:02:17.740
dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning
01:02:24.940
winners find fabulous for less meanwhile also on cnn and this part you might have missed if you saw the
01:02:34.700
clip live you might have missed a really a really important little thing that was just sort of hidden
01:02:41.020
in it so let's see if i can explain it so harry enton on cnn is the most data-driven objective
01:02:49.660
person on the network which is good because he's the data guy so he does the polling and you know how
01:02:55.740
our opinions change and stuff and when he talks about it it's not let's talk about how trump is bad
01:03:03.020
and all democrats are good he just says what the data says and and he's really good at so all credit to
01:03:09.260
harry enton on cnn does a great job but he's being interviewed by uh is it john berman
01:03:17.340
who in this context would be the propagandist all right so enton is the voice of reason
01:03:25.500
berman would be historically in my opinion more of a propagandist right um
01:03:31.500
um so harry enton shows the the data that the way he interpreted the data is that the public is not
01:03:39.420
making any connection between the wildfires and climate change so the main messaging of the democrats
01:03:44.940
is whoa it's climate change is climate change but the public's not buying it in fact the public has
01:03:51.100
moved backwards in its belief about whether climate change is causing wildfires in general
01:03:57.900
so now we're down to uh since 2023 we're down to in 2023 we're down to 39 we're worried about climate
01:04:07.420
change and in 2019 49 of the those polled said humans contribute to climate change so basically half of the
01:04:19.420
the public said humans contribute to climate change today years later after years and years of climate
01:04:25.980
change propaganda only 45 say that humans contribute to climate change so now it's less than half
01:04:34.860
so less than half of the country is buying the main democrat messaging on climate change
01:04:41.500
all right so now again credit to harry enton because he's just following the numbers and that's just
01:04:48.140
what the numbers say so here's the fun part so then uh the john berman says trying to wrap it up and he
01:04:54.300
says uh um he goes even even as scientists say climate change is causing more extreme weather events
01:05:01.260
is that true are scientists saying that climate change is causing more extreme weather events or is it the opposite
01:05:17.900
because when i read the news about this it's always oh well actually the hurricanes are not getting more
01:05:25.740
more frequent or worse oh actually the wildfires have historically always been this bad
01:05:33.100
right so um it's just not true that scientists say climate change is causing more extreme weather events
01:05:42.220
is it it might be true that some are but i don't even think that's the consensus anymore is it
01:05:48.540
so what does harry enton do when the propagandist says something that i'm pretty sure harry enton knows
01:05:55.820
is not true but they're on tv it's live and the guy who tries to be honest is faced with a summary
01:06:04.060
from his co-worker that either i just i don't think he believes it's true so instead of agreeing with
01:06:12.860
even though scientists say climate change is causing more extreme weather harry enton very cleverly
01:06:19.340
says this even as extreme weather goes up humans are the the basically the public's less worried
01:06:28.780
so you see how he reframed it so enton this is i'm reading some minds here so i can't be positive that
01:06:35.900
either of them are thinking the way i'm i'm explaining it but what it looked like
01:06:39.900
was that burman was trying to throw the propaganda for climate change into the story
01:06:45.740
and entrance the data guy and he wasn't having it but he couldn't go against him on the air
01:06:51.260
so he reframed it away from the scientists and just said the public's not buying it
01:06:58.460
good job harry enton staying staying on on uh on fact uh trump was railing last night about seth
01:07:06.220
myers nbc late night host um he's calling him he said i got stuck watching marble mouth myers the
01:07:14.060
other night every time i watch this moron i feel an obligation to say how dumb and untalented he is
01:07:20.060
merely a slot filler for the scum that that runs comcast comcast owns nbc um and he says comcast should be
01:07:29.980
paying and uh paying for in-kind contributions to the radical left democratic party and comcast should
01:07:37.660
pay a big price for this well i like part of this i i don't like the part where comcast should be a big
01:07:44.780
price for this because it feels a little bit more like free speech should not be you know impinged or
01:07:51.980
or penalized i mean it is true that it's a propaganda show it is true that you know it's one-sided
01:08:02.300
etc but i don't know in our system free speech if you kind of know it's one-sided and you know if
01:08:09.980
you turn on gotfeld and you watch a higher quality show you're going to see the other side of things
01:08:14.700
so i wouldn't be terribly eager to see the new administration go after comcast because uh
01:08:24.140
seth meyers says stuff that trump doesn't like that feels a little too far and by the way i feel
01:08:30.860
that there's a obligation on trump's supporters to set some kind of a line of what's too far because
01:08:40.140
part of the thing we like about him is he'll he'll he'll do everything that other people do and then
01:08:44.380
he'll he'll push the envelope a little bit so pushing the envelope is what i like i like that
01:08:49.740
he pushes the envelope everywhere in every domain he pushes the envelope but i think that that makes a
01:08:55.020
obligation on the supporters such as myself that we need to be vocal if there's something that's just
01:09:03.180
a hint of too far to me that's too far to say that comcast should pay a big price for this coming from
01:09:10.540
the president in a threatening way uh i love the fact that he calls you know that he does a critical
01:09:17.420
review of the quality of the show that i love i love that he came up with an insulting nickname for
01:09:22.300
somebody who's on the other team love it love it but threatening comcast for what seems to me free
01:09:30.220
speech be careful with that one so so i'm gonna do my citizen duty to say where i think the line needs
01:09:38.380
to be drawn you can disagree that's part of your citizen duty starbucks reversed his policy that would
01:09:46.940
allow anybody to sit at its cafe even if they weren't buying anything which of course is going to be an
01:09:52.540
invitation to homeless uh that didn't work out so they're changing it you can only be a customer if
01:09:59.500
you're going to be hanging out in the cafe is that the trump effect where everybody is now sort of
01:10:07.500
allowed to be a little more commonsensical you know you have permission to do common sense
01:10:14.140
is that the trump effect or is it simply that they tried it and it was a disaster
01:10:19.660
maybe both you know maybe the disaster wasn't enough to change it but the trump effect gives you cover
01:10:26.860
because everything else going on is a bigger deal so maybe the trump effect maybe but not entirely
01:10:34.780
um here's something i love melania uh did an interview and she said this and i quote i don't
01:10:43.900
want to hire too many people on my team spending too much taxpayer money i want to make sure that
01:10:49.900
every position they are talented they have merit they know what they're doing
01:11:16.780
i want my first lady to say something that's 100 compatible with what the what the country voted for
01:11:24.620
and i don't want to hear another story about that damn first lady who spent way much way more than
01:11:31.980
she should have you know in prior administrations uh way more than she should have to get good china
01:11:38.380
and to upgrade something that we didn't think needed to be upgraded
01:11:43.420
now i don't think that melania came up with this genius messaging on her own i think she has good
01:11:50.060
advisors so first of all shout out once again to whoever is advising the trump team including melania
01:11:57.980
this is just genius this is this is this is not just okay this is genius she could not have nailed
01:12:06.540
this harder this harder the wording is perfect it's concise it's on message she she has merit in there
01:12:13.340
doesn't want to spend too much money that's compatible with doge this is everything this is this is exactly
01:12:21.900
what i want out of the first lady or the first husband whoever it is best ever message perfection
01:12:30.940
um now let's compare it to if you want to see the difference in quality of messaging
01:12:38.060
let's compare it to what harris is saying about the wildfires in california
01:12:43.660
um first of all uh you have to worry about the climate change
01:12:49.900
so got to worry about that climate change okay second is she reminds us that the citizens
01:12:57.020
uh really need to be more patient in waiting for help so it wasn't so much a totally democrat
01:13:07.580
mismanagement tragedy that burnt up the entire state it wasn't that no it was a climate change problem
01:13:16.780
uh and now we're we're into more of a citizens being impatient problem and
01:13:21.020
you know it makes you wonder should there be some kind of punishment for the citizens who are impatient
01:13:28.460
about the government yeah we've got to worry about the impatience of those people
01:13:33.420
you know yes their their homes are just ashes on the ground and they've lost everything but
01:13:39.740
you know the real problem i think we need to focus more on their impatience really
01:13:44.460
we keep talking about giving them clean water and turning the power on and you know will they ever be
01:13:49.900
able to return home in their toxic environment no no no no no don't think small stop thinking small
01:13:58.140
you want to elevate this let's talk about their impatience now come on that's somebody who almost
01:14:06.860
became the president of the united states i'll take melania over whatever that is any day of the week
01:14:14.540
for any job let me say that again for any job i would take melania over kamala harris for any job any job
01:14:24.540
house cleaning to president of the united states i'm going to take melania it's not even close
01:14:33.180
well just for fun you should know that michael cohen was on msnbc basically begging for a pardon
01:14:39.900
from the biden administration and i don't know if he's going to get it because you know he's he's so
01:14:47.260
originally associated with trump and probably completely hated by the democrats so if the
01:14:55.660
if the democrats give michael cohen a and biden if they give him a pardon i guess it would be a
01:15:02.300
preemptive pardon i guess um that would be surprising but he's trying hard to get it he
01:15:08.540
says he should get it because even though hunter was biden's son and everybody understands that
01:15:15.900
biden would give a pardon to his son you don't have to explain that too much it's just common common
01:15:21.900
biology but uh michael cohen's making the argument that he also is somebody's son so therefore he should
01:15:29.180
get a pardon because he's somebody's son i don't know if i ever hired a lawyer i wouldn't want him
01:15:37.900
to be this dumb or ridiculous but anyway uh meanwhile hamas has accepted the draft agreement which means
01:15:47.020
they haven't finalized it but for the gaza ceasefire and release of 31 33 33 33 hostages now here's what
01:15:57.180
i believe is true about it the the 33 is out of 98 hostages so you know one third but that seems to
01:16:05.900
be the all the civilians now i can't guarantee that but if it's all the civilians and it might include the
01:16:14.060
female military i think uh there might be five of them um that would leave the male military
01:16:22.380
people who were still being held now i could see why they do it you know i i understand why they
01:16:31.180
would do it in that order you understand right everybody understands why you do it in that order
01:16:36.060
yeah because uh uh men are useless so so they're gonna lay you know and then the citizens out because
01:16:46.300
the males who are in the military are worth less how do you decide who gets to live and die do you
01:16:52.540
do it by identity that's what they did now i get that if you're in the military you're taking on a bigger
01:16:58.700
risk but keep in mind it's universal universal uh draft or whatever it is so everybody in in israel
01:17:06.700
ends up in the military right so you can't say that the people were being held or chose to be in the
01:17:13.580
military so they took on a bigger risk they didn't choose it it was required so every person who was being
01:17:19.980
held didn't choose anything about it there was no choice so so why did the why did the adult men go last
01:17:32.540
now i get it biologically biologically i understand that women are more valuable than men
01:17:38.060
because they can do the baby making it doesn't take many men to do that
01:17:41.580
but you know i i'm just gonna put it out there that somebody just made a decision that adult men
01:17:50.700
are worth less than the women and the you know the uh the civilians don't love it don't love that
01:18:03.100
but i can see why they do it now of course uh part of this is that they they would agree to a
01:18:09.820
secondary phase which might include the rest of the people but that would not be negotiated to
01:18:16.220
completion while they're doing their first phase you know they might be continuing to negotiate
01:18:21.580
and the first phase release would be over several weeks so none of it's going to happen none of it
01:18:27.340
will happen before trump's in office do you think trump is going to accept will release one third of
01:18:33.740
them over six weeks why would he why would he it should be exactly the same penalty whether you release
01:18:42.380
them or not right i mean i'm sorry whether you release part of them or not trump's response should be the
01:18:51.820
same that you don't treat this as a negotiation see this is what israel i think is getting wrong
01:18:58.620
i'm not there so you know they're obviously very smart and so when i say it's wrong it's from my
01:19:03.900
perspective not having all the information but from my perspective you don't treat this part as a
01:19:08.780
negotiation you do what trump is doing this is your ticket to the negotiation because what the hamas and
01:19:16.620
gazans want is to figure out what happens to their entire future the entire future is in the
01:19:22.460
negotiation the the ticket to even be in the conversation is you let everybody go now that's
01:19:30.700
the ticket that's not the negotiation that's the ticket to the negotiation trump gets that 100 right
01:19:38.300
i don't know why israel has other other variables or other considerations that you know maybe it's the
01:19:44.540
the local public opinion that could be it which would be less less on trump than it would be on
01:19:50.060
netanyahu so i don't know i'd like to see trump see fix this if he can
01:19:59.500
and i think that's all i had to say about this and ladies and gentlemen
01:20:07.260
i'm going to talk to the locals people privately for a little bit
01:20:11.820
um let's see if we can fix some fire stuff get this country going again um the golden age is uh
01:20:22.460
off to a slow start with the fire but i do believe that the goal that the fires have
01:20:30.140
one hideous advantage it's hideous because the way you get there but the advantage is i think it's the
01:20:37.740
complete destruction of the democrat way of governing maybe not the complete destruction of the democrat
01:20:44.780
party because they're they're probably resilient but their way of approaching things with identity
01:20:51.420
and climate first and feelings first i feel like it's so discredited that if it could ever come back
01:20:59.820
it would take a long time so i worry what happens when trump retires from the process you know will
01:21:08.460
there be enough republican strength to keep common sense in our you know in our sights or is it going
01:21:16.140
to turn into a ridiculousness like equity and who's being impatient and what's your climate doing and all
01:21:23.020
that stuff so all right locals coming at you for some private time the rest of you thanks for joining
01:21:53.020
somecause i'll see you next week because i want my grandfather ah at japanese news
