Summary
In this episode of Coffee with Scott Adams, I discuss insider trading, the dangers of insider trading and the future of the stock market. I also talk about a new plant that shows promise as cold as a cure for colorectal cancer. And how men are becoming more obsolete than ever.
Transcript
00:00:04.560
everything's working just perfectly today that's the way i like it
00:00:12.480
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:27.860
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this
00:00:32.180
experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:37.960
all you need for that is a cup or a micro glass a tank or chelsea stein a canteen jug or flask a
00:00:42.380
vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:00:47.160
unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better
00:00:51.060
it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:00:57.860
so good well let's check in with the science i'm sure enough morning coffee drinkers have 12
00:01:08.360
lower risk of all-cause mortality but apparently that's a new study but apparently you gotta get
00:01:16.080
it in the morning for some reason if you wait till the afternoon to have your coffee your all-cause
00:01:22.040
mortality is not that much better but get it early and and you're you're gonna live forever at this
00:01:29.500
rate in other science uh according to study finds there's a desert plant that shows promise as cold
00:01:37.920
as a treatment for colorectal cancer now i don't know how they deliver it and i'm just hoping it's not a
00:01:47.660
cactus well let me check oh it's a shrub sure yeah a shrub would be no problem i've tried to cure my
00:01:55.600
colorectal cancer i don't have that but if i did uh i would sit on a sit on the cactus if it if i thought
00:02:03.600
it would help anyway it's only a shrub should it shouldn't be so hard in insider try trading nancy
00:02:10.920
plosie's husband made some more excellent calls of course we're assuming that he knows a little bit
00:02:18.600
too much because congress has insider information sometimes but i was looking at a couple of the
00:02:26.160
examples and the two examples of his insider trading are that he somewhat recently sold his apple stock
00:02:35.320
and a good chunk of his nvidia but not all of it um those are the same trades i made i don't have
00:02:45.420
any insider you don't need any insider knowledge to trade those two things apple is at a point
00:02:52.380
where ai is likely to disrupt their whole business model and it doesn't appear that they're extra good
00:02:58.800
to ai so i sold mine because i thought you know apple went from sort of a monopoly kind of a company
00:03:06.500
to anything could happen at this point and as you know nvidia um even before the new news it had such
00:03:16.460
a run that it would be time to take some money off the table so you have to be careful with these
00:03:21.980
insider trading stories if the insiders are making exactly the same trades as the outsiders
00:03:27.800
like me literally the two it's the only two stocks i sold i think no there was one other there was a
00:03:34.360
special case but you know if i'm making the same trades at about the same time you know i i do believe
00:03:41.860
that insider trading is a real thing and it should be addressed but not everything they sell sometimes
00:03:47.740
it's just obvious stuff well men are becoming more obsolete than ever according to brighter side of the
0.94
00:03:54.100
news scientists that figured out how to use stem cells and mice to make their own mouse sperm and so
00:04:04.240
that the female mouse does need a like a real mate or real sperm they can just make it out of some kind
1.00
00:04:13.320
of stem cells so let me let me look at let's say uh we're about a year away from robots doing everything
00:04:21.500
that men can do that requires strength so we don't have the strength thing going for us
0.98
00:04:28.160
uh but at least we're the only ones who can make sperm okay we're not the only ones who can make sperm
0.71
00:04:34.680
now i guess the scientists can whip it up in the lab whip it up in the lab if you know what i mean no
00:04:41.260
really it's from stem cells how do we know it's from stem cells though i don't trust those scientists at
00:04:48.140
all you know what i mean anyway men are obsolete we'll be in about a year um so you know so here's
00:04:57.340
another one of my uh unbelievably good predictions so good i wonder why you listen to anybody else
00:05:04.840
um remember when i told you that i sold my nvidia stock a while ago because i thought there'd be some
00:05:13.240
major disruption you know some technology that showed you didn't have to do these big data centers
00:05:19.520
and whatnot and sure enough so deep seek comes out the chinese open source ai that's uh costs five
00:05:27.700
percent to make and it's almost as good but i also predicted and here was my more clever prediction
00:05:35.360
that you shouldn't be that afraid of it at least in terms of disrupting america's ai because first
00:05:43.260
of all america ai would keep moving forward and probably they have some advantages because of the
00:05:48.300
big training facilities that they have that deep seek does not but i also told you that it would get
00:05:54.140
uh that the government of the united states would organize against it so to make it illegal or there
00:06:02.020
would be lawsuits basically it would just be tied up in all kinds of legal maneuvers like tiktok
00:06:07.420
you know tiktok being caught up in the government political process so i was pretty sure that it would
00:06:15.020
be heavily attacked and sure enough here's what we know open ai is looking into um complaints that
00:06:23.040
maybe was trained on just looking at open ai now i'm not sure i believe this next part but it comes
00:06:31.240
from people who know way more than i do apparently there's a way to train an ai model
00:06:36.900
where if there's already a model that is trained like open ai chat gpt you can have the one you're
00:06:43.960
training just ask the one that already exists millions of questions and then it just answers the
00:06:51.380
questions and then then the new thing is also trained does that seem real to you how in the world
00:06:59.100
could it could it ask enough questions i i get that it's fast and you know there's no human involved
00:07:05.940
so it's digital but can you really connect to open ai if you're just a user and ask it millions of
00:07:16.000
questions a minute until you've until you've sucked all of its all of its knowledge that doesn't feel like
0.79
00:07:24.560
that could happen wouldn't wouldn't open ai have guardrails that say you can't have that much
0.64
00:07:30.880
that much traffic all at the same time or it would be so expensive nobody can do it i don't know
00:07:37.580
there's something about it that's not connecting in terms of probably just my understanding of it
00:07:43.900
but i don't know how it could possibly ask millions of questions and then reproduce it
00:07:49.640
that that doesn't even seem slightly possible based on what i know about anything but we'll see
00:07:56.280
the smart people say that's a thing um so open ai is going to go after for stealing their
00:08:03.940
their ip because open ai says we're seeing indications they may have trained on our ip
00:08:11.160
which is interesting because a whistleblower recently died under mysterious circumstances
00:08:17.800
for allegedly having evidence that open ai may have trained on some copyrighted work
00:08:24.020
so you've got the one that may have trained on copyrighted work that's going to sue somebody for
00:08:31.020
copying the work that was copied maybe from the copyrighted okay it's getting a little confusing
00:08:39.200
but what is what seems uh critical is that whoever has the most money to hire lawyers is going to prevail
00:08:45.580
and right now that's open ai and let's see what else is happening we're also talking about the data
00:08:53.180
security problem um and maybe even the persuasion propaganda problem with this deep seek model so as
00:09:01.980
i predicted it would first of all be getting sued and next the government would say hey it's too dangerous
00:09:08.980
to have this you know chinese uh spy application you know they might call it so all that's happening
00:09:16.840
exactly as i said and the u.s navy is banning it they're going to ban deep seek
00:09:22.300
ai over quote security concerns because there's uh yeah so security concerns so it's basically already
00:09:31.820
being banned now who who predicted that i think i'm the only one right did anybody else say oh it'll
00:09:40.460
just get caught up in politics and lawsuits and you're not gonna have to worry about it that's what
00:09:47.360
it looks like meanwhile alibaba just introduced its own ai this is brand new didn't see this coming
00:09:54.720
and it claims to be the fastest one faster than open ai and deep seek and everything else that's what
00:10:02.540
they claim now question number two uh am i wrong that alibaba is a fully chinese-owned company
00:10:11.500
and if it's true that deep seek um may have had access to a lot but a smaller number than the u.s
00:10:23.580
of those nvidia chips which seem necessary to at least get going how in the world is alibaba
00:10:31.780
creating something that's better than all the other ones do they also have a whole bunch of fake
00:10:39.360
or not fake but they have a bunch of illegal chips too how many nvidia chips made it to china
00:10:46.880
it feels like that would be exactly the sort of thing we'd have the most
00:10:51.760
control over but were we sending it to some country that then sent it to china because how
00:11:01.200
in the world do they get it it's not like they're it's not like they're stealing it
00:11:05.460
so i got big questions about nvidia chips and alibaba maybe we'll find that out today
00:11:12.800
so as i tell you i am always listening to msnbc for the for the uh comedy and it's becoming more and
00:11:22.680
more hilarious that their only coverage is comparing stuff to hitler and usually republicans so
00:11:31.700
so here's here's what they had today today they had their guest uh gear and haradas he claimed that
00:11:39.620
this is msnbc the guest claimed that trump is trying to make america white again by deporting
00:11:45.720
illegal aliens well i don't know if anybody knows this but trump has nothing to do with the color of
00:11:53.500
the immigrants he he doesn't have any control over what color they are when they come in the country
1.00
00:12:00.260
he only has control over not letting non-citizens in the country but but this uh literally a pointy
00:12:08.240
here that this is the guest who has this gray hair that's like pointed like a like a paintbrush he
0.94
00:12:15.240
just dipped in paint and uh it's so dumb that all he's doing is doing the law exactly the way the
0.93
00:12:25.520
public wants them to do it it's not his fault that the people coming in are you know more one color
0.97
00:12:33.060
than another one it's not trump's fault and then uh joy reid is uh says that trump enforcing immigration
00:12:41.800
law is just like hitler orchestrating the holocaust that's all she has is that uh she goes
1.00
00:12:50.940
similarities to what happened in germany and what's happening now in america are just undeniable
00:12:57.000
are they are they undeniable uh history may not repeat verbatim but it sure does rhyme
00:13:06.280
yeah hitler rhymes with shitler so i guess we learned something there no you're not supposed to figure out
00:13:14.100
what's true by looking at what rhymes if i could give you one bit of advice about understanding the
00:13:21.560
world things that rhyme are largely coincidence yeah if it rhymes that's not really telling you
00:13:31.000
anything but uh sounds good when you say it then tim waltz is a guest on msnbc and he says quote
00:13:38.840
of course elon musk did a nazi salute he treats it like it's a fact and it's the most obviously not
00:13:47.960
a fact thing that's ever happened anyway so it made me think uh i've never seen msnbc do sports or
00:13:57.980
weather um i don't know if the tv platform has that so i was wondering what would it be like
00:14:05.340
if msnbc started covering sports and weather would it still be comparing everything to hitler
00:14:11.800
you know would the weather be it looks like it's gonna be colder than hitler's balls today
00:14:18.060
it's gonna be snowing more than that dandruff on hitler's shoulder
00:14:22.540
uh and then they're gonna switch over the sports it's like uh that running back he hit the gap like
00:14:29.220
hitler invading poland and i feel like they would uh even for the weather they'd replace
0.76
00:14:38.760
fahrenheit with some kind of hitler measure well looks like it's 32 hitlers today so wear your jacket
0.55
00:14:46.600
anyway speaking of that uh apparently an armed man was arrested in the capital
00:14:53.620
who uh authorities say plan to kill what uh what the armed man called nazis huh nazis
00:15:02.640
hmm where would he get that idea uh and that included in his view pete hagseth mike johnson and
00:15:10.020
scott besant if i'm pronouncing that is a besant or besant um the treasury secretary new treasury
00:15:17.700
secretary now here's my question what news source would he possibly be watching that would make him
00:15:29.500
think that there were actual hitler-like characters in the united states government and he would have to
00:15:36.940
take action because it's so real could it be msnbc now you want to you want to get a real shock
00:15:46.000
why why does joy reads still have her job is it because her ratings are good no they're not even
0.92
00:15:54.700
good on msnbc they're not as good as her her peers as far as i can tell and oh but she keeps her job
0.82
00:16:03.220
why is that why do you think that is as absurd and silly just calling trump hitler all day long and
00:16:10.380
nothing really else to say well here's what i worry about don't we generally hear the msnbc and and nbc
00:16:20.820
um tend to be some of the most controlled news meaning it's not really news it's a propaganda
00:16:28.820
you know our our internal intelligence people cia seem to have some some kind of connection with
00:16:35.680
some news sources more than others and it is generally widely considered by people who follow
00:16:41.720
this sort of thing that msnbc is a controlled news platform meaning that they're kind of doing what the
00:16:50.520
intelligence people want them to do and so my question is this is joy read only employed because
00:16:57.360
she says trump is iller and is that what the intelligence people want msnbc to say because
00:17:03.960
if they didn't want him to say it she would already be out so the disturbing thing is that the whole
00:17:11.960
hitler hitler hitler thing appears to be either approved by or actually initiated by our own government
00:17:19.940
that's what it looks like now there's no way to know that from my perspective but if it's true
00:17:26.600
that msnbc is just you know the cia fake news outlet which it appears to be i mean all the indications
00:17:35.000
it doesn't seem like it's it really doesn't seem like they're being serious about any kind of news
00:17:39.980
it doesn't look like they're even trying so i guess i have a question is that what our own
00:17:48.900
government is selling us is there a part of our government that's selling us that the government
00:17:53.800
is a nazi government that doesn't seem like a good idea anyway trump finally revealed
00:18:02.680
um not personally but uh it was announcement that the drones over new jersey were authorized by the
00:18:10.440
faa for research and others were just normal commercial traffic just normal drone traffic all licensed and
00:18:18.900
approved and some of it for research so how many of you guessed it was aliens or an iranian or or
00:18:28.500
chinese attack if you guessed chinese or iranian attack or some kind of surveillance or aliens from
00:18:37.180
another planet um you're you're not winning this round my my prediction was it was going to be normal
00:18:45.140
approved traffic but i also suggested that there might be some things up there that we've not seen before
00:18:53.920
possibly because they're doing a bake-off to maybe show their products to somebody like the government
00:19:02.400
before the government makes a decision on what vendors to buy stuff from specifically drones so i don't know
00:19:09.360
if that's true but uh they're calling it research it seems to me that you wouldn't fly a drone over
00:19:17.760
heavily populated areas for research would you what kind of research is it research to see if the drone
00:19:24.780
works research to find out how much data it can collect from our own people what exactly were they
00:19:33.020
researching so that's a big question so i think we can agree that every time the government tells us
00:19:39.780
something about secret stuff you never really know if that's true let me say it directly trump as
00:19:48.800
commander-in-chief does not have an obligation to tell us the truth if the truth is bad for the country
00:19:56.280
so if it turns out that he looked into it and found oh damn i can't tell them the whole truth
00:20:02.780
but i can tell them enough of the truth to make them stop worrying okay it's not an alien and we're
00:20:10.120
not being attacked that's all i really wanted to know i didn't really have questions beyond that
00:20:15.780
because if there's something going on beyond that that the military knows about but we're not supposed
00:20:21.380
to know about i'm perfectly okay with my president no matter what party they are just not revealing that
00:20:29.920
you know being a little subtle about that that's okay that's part of the job so i don't need to know
00:20:35.840
everything but i do appreciate knowing that they if it's true i i don't see any possibility that it was
00:20:43.560
a an enemy action and trump wouldn't tell us that that doesn't seem real so i'm pretty sure we don't
00:20:52.060
have to worry about it that's all i'm worried that's that's my only take on that
00:20:55.480
um well let's see uh what things has trump accomplished in his one week uh border encounters
00:21:05.780
in one week border encounters that's just encounters just any kind of encounter 93 percent
00:21:17.560
now if you're a democrat do you not even notice the difference
00:21:24.680
i mean that's pretty dramatic now it could be that there'll be another uptick
00:21:31.360
because it could be that the people planning to come or sort of waiting to see what happens
00:21:36.200
and then maybe they'll adjust and try some other way to get in
00:21:39.900
but at the moment it's pretty impressive i saw a post from insurrection barbie on x
00:21:45.820
uh pointing out that bill clinton deported 12 million illegals
00:21:50.240
and the media didn't say anything barack obama deported three million illegals
00:21:55.900
media didn't say anything fine with that uh but when trump deported one million in his first term
00:22:03.100
the media brands him a racist and a nazi you see how all this works he does one twelfth of what
00:22:11.220
bill clinton does one twelfth and he's branded a nazi and bill clinton is branded one of the greatest
00:22:18.540
presidents ever by the democrats all right so that's what we got uh trump signed the executive
00:22:27.640
order uh trying to ban trans surgery and trans chemical uh chemical transitions i guess
00:22:37.780
now the it's not a direct ban it's a we'll take your federal funding if you're an institution that's
00:22:45.220
involved in this do you think it'll stick i think i think there'll be lawsuits um but it would be pretty
00:22:53.000
risky for any institution to lose their federal funding because i'm pretty sure that's not a bluff
00:22:58.780
that the the one thing i'm sure of is it's not a bluff yeah chemical castration would be part of
00:23:05.860
what's being banned um so that is pretty bold that is very bold now is it my imagination or has the
00:23:17.120
trans mania just completely disappeared so how many years have we been talking about trans issues
00:23:26.660
like this seems like non-stop every day and during that entire time i met zero trans people
00:23:35.300
and none i didn't run to any did you it it was always so much of a bigger story than it was
00:23:46.660
anything that you know affects the the larger public of course if you're in that situation that affects you
00:23:54.020
a lot but uh for most of us we just didn't even have any contact with that entire segment of
00:24:00.640
the world or maybe we didn't know you know didn't notice but you know i want the best i want the best
00:24:07.980
for all the trans people as as well as everybody else but uh i i like having less news on this topic
00:24:17.180
i just want to talk about something that isn't trans and isn't a comparison to iller that's all i want
00:24:24.000
so we'll see how that plays out i think trump's on the right side of history on that
00:24:29.640
uh so trump has warned that panama is rapidly allegedly taking down its signs that were written
00:24:39.440
in china in chinese i mean they're written in chinese in panama so the idea here is that trump is saying
00:24:47.540
uh china has too much control on the panama canal and one way that that's obvious is if you go there
0.58
00:24:55.800
there are more signs in chinese than there are in other other languages so he's saying that uh
00:25:03.420
they're they're rapidly taking down the chinese signs so it's not so obvious who's controlling them
00:25:08.380
i thought there was some question about whether china has control of the panama canal i think
00:25:16.340
republicans say it's a fact and i think democrats say china doesn't control the panama canal
00:25:23.100
am i right that there are two two movies on one screen there the the democrats have a completely
00:25:31.040
different idea what's going on i think so so one of the things i find useful
00:25:38.000
is watching the five on fox news especially when uh jessica tarloff is on the panel she's the most
00:25:49.780
reliable uh democrat to have the alternative story um you know sometimes there are different people in
00:25:57.600
that chair but she's really useful because you know the the the fake news isn't on one side you know
1.00
00:26:05.860
there's a little fake news on both sides right so i'm sometimes i've got a little blind spot
00:26:11.400
to what the democrats version of the story is so she's really good at giving you the quick version
00:26:18.980
of the democrat side of things you know of course then all all heck breaks out because it's a fun show
00:26:25.860
with lots of uh lots of energy but i think uh probably maybe i think maybe 10 times in the last year or two
00:26:37.700
i've heard something from her that i hadn't seen on my regular looks through the news so very useful
00:26:45.480
you you don't have to agree with the other side but you'd be crazy not to know what the argument is
00:26:51.720
so at least listen to the argument all right when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool
00:26:59.000
coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman
0.99
00:27:05.660
over there with the designer jeans are those from winners oh are those beautiful gold earrings did
00:27:11.720
she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress
1.00
00:27:17.240
that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning
00:27:23.920
winners find fabulous for less uh the trump administration pushed out um apparently is
00:27:31.520
getting rid of 60 career officials at a at an entity called usaid usaid which is not an aid organization
00:27:40.960
um i don't want to get too deeply into that but let me just say this if it doesn't mean anything to
00:27:48.440
you when i say that that 60 officials were removed from usaid then there's a gigantic part of america
00:27:58.200
that you're missing and i would refer you to mike benz to understand why why neutering that organization
00:28:07.960
might be really important because it's just one of these entities that you didn't know was doing a lot
00:28:14.620
of stuff that you weren't aware of and you were paying for if you're an american taxpayer so uh the
00:28:22.800
trump administration seems to be targeting all the things that really needed to be targeted and
00:28:28.880
they're doing it quickly it's very impressive i have to say i'm totally impressed
00:28:32.860
um trump administration is also offering these buybacks or not buybacks buyouts for employees
00:28:41.200
so i guess you'll get eight months pay if you decide to go by next week so there's a website where
00:28:48.900
you can volunteer to go and you get eight months of pay if you go now if you don't go now you still
00:28:55.600
might be laid off later but without the eight months of pay so i'm guessing you get some something but
00:29:05.020
much less so this is a really clever way to get things going now what's going to happen and you're
00:29:13.580
seeing it already is that people who are not good at doing anything are going to have all kinds of
00:29:19.320
ideas about how it's being done wrong here's specifically what people who don't know how things work
00:29:25.220
are going to say they're going to say hey you froze or you cut too much too soon without looking
00:29:33.400
at all the details that's not a mistake it will be true that if the administration does exactly what
00:29:42.460
it should do in other words if it acts in the smartest most capable way it will cut way too much
00:29:49.780
way too fast without checking that's the only way you can get there because the only way you're going
00:29:57.340
to find out what's true is to cut stuff and find out who screams the the amount of pain that you cause
00:30:05.120
is almost the only good indicator of what's working and what's true every government entity
00:30:11.380
that trump and company want to cut everyone will be lying to them they're all liars there is no way
00:30:19.840
you can study and take extra time to find out who you should fund and who you should get rid of
0.95
00:30:25.560
can't be done because everybody's a liar so here's what you do instead all right i don't see any reason
00:30:32.040
for this place uh we should talk to them see if they have a good argument no you just stop the funding
00:30:38.740
and you just see what happens now if you don't have experience you would say that is a little crazy
00:30:47.240
scott you don't just fire first and then make a plan after you've started you make a plan first
00:30:55.760
and then you execute the plan nope not in this case in this case you just have to run in and start
00:31:02.520
punching stuff because you you've got to just destroy the current assumptions destroy the current
00:31:10.200
comfort you've just got to shake that box until everybody's dizzy then you might start seeing
00:31:18.980
something useful and you're gonna have to take a bunch of guesses and it's gonna be messy messy messy
00:31:25.960
but here's what you can't do the certain way to fail is low energy the certain way to fail
00:31:33.720
and by the way failing to cut the budget is the end of humanity i mean it would be the end of the
00:31:41.340
united states and god knows what would follow right because the world has a lot of dependence on
00:31:46.700
the united states we'd survive but we might be we might be living in you know tribes or something
00:31:52.660
so the the level of risk involved in continuing to spend the way we are is really it's 100 doom
00:32:02.540
so doing what we're doing in the normal way is 100 doom there really is no escape
00:32:09.740
if you go wild with let's say putting full energy into cutting costs and you cut too deeply
00:32:19.580
what is the risk of that well there's definitely risk there is risk is risk to individual um individual
00:32:28.500
components of the country and that's real and we should we should be smart about those risks and we
00:32:35.660
should try to adjust and we should try to make it easy on people when it makes sense but you gotta do it
00:32:43.280
that's the important thing if you don't put full energy into cutting and disrupting and shaking the
00:32:49.340
box and getting rid of people before you fully investigate it you can't get there you just can't
00:32:54.860
get there from here any kind of a low energy traditional attack would be well i've created a
00:33:01.440
committee and the committee will be spending 18 months uh researching what should be cut and the way
00:33:08.420
they'll research it is they'll ask the opinions of the people they plan to cut hey you're in charge of
00:33:14.780
this department how much should we cut what you don't want to be cut you have to increase 20 percent
00:33:21.300
next year because otherwise the world will come to an end oh well we'll put that together in a report
00:33:26.780
and then we'll go back to the government in 18 months oh but we're a little late so we had to delay
00:33:31.980
it really took two years oh wait a minute we're halfway through trump's entire term no point in
00:33:37.780
doing it now because they'll just fight it and they'll never get done before the end of the term
00:33:41.360
no you cannot do a low energy major cut you have to go high energy high mistake high energy high mistake
00:33:55.000
it's the only path and the only people who are smart enough to know that are elon musk trump and
00:34:02.840
you know vivek would know it you know sacks would know it ackman would know it um i'm sure andresen
00:34:10.040
knows it i'll bet you you can't find anybody with a high iq to disagree
00:34:13.840
uh let me let me lay down the gauntlet here i say nobody nobody who's got a high iq and and the trump
00:34:23.940
administration has just freaking geniuses at this point not one of them would disagree with going
00:34:30.620
high energy high potential mistake versus you know our ordinary study it to death and do nothing
00:34:37.500
approach um and it's going to be hard to educate the people who don't have experience
00:34:44.100
that it's the only way we we ran out we ran out of options we only have one way to survive
00:34:52.180
this is it this is it and i and by the way this is not an exaggeration this is for survival
00:35:00.200
and i don't think i've ever said that before you're usually everything else is well we're
00:35:07.100
trying to optimize we're trying to avoid some trouble no the debt this is survival and
00:35:14.020
we have to put 100 into it all right um this is interesting apparently trump is suing the pulitzer
00:35:26.200
prize committee for having given pulitzer prizes to the new york times and washington post
00:35:32.360
over their russia collusion fake news now i don't think this can succeed i've never seen anything like
00:35:43.160
it so it's one thing to sue the the people with the fake news and i don't know that that's happening
00:35:49.860
i don't think he's suing the new york times and the washington post over russia collusion stories
00:35:54.860
but if he's suing the pulitzer committee because they gave they gave awards and didn't take them
00:36:02.060
back i i think they'd be happy if they were just rescinded so something tells me that the real play
00:36:08.620
is just to get them to admit that they gave awards to fake news and then have them just correct it and
00:36:16.340
say okay we we disavow or we rescind the award i don't know if you could rescind the award but
00:36:23.260
you could say we disavow it now or it was a mistake so it could be that the lawsuit
00:36:29.240
is really just to get them to do something that they should have done anyway which is admit when
00:36:37.260
well um rfk jr should be sitting there right now in his confirmation hearings so that's happening right
00:36:48.300
now we're expecting it to be brutal um and we don't know if he's going to get through
00:36:54.700
i will tell you that if somehow rfk jr doesn't get through
00:37:00.940
the the level of disappointment i would feel for the republicans would be off the chart
00:37:11.900
just off the chart i could never forgive this let me say that directly anybody who votes against rfk
00:37:19.380
jr given that he might be the only one who can save us from our food supply and bad pharma
00:37:25.400
i'm taking this really personally right this is not politics to me this is my life i mean this this is
00:37:34.640
you know kids this is personal this is not politics whatsoever so i'm going to echo what
00:37:41.580
nicole shanahan said she said that bobby kennedy might be nice but she's not and she's got a list
00:37:49.500
of people that are not have not said they'll vote for him mostly republicans but not entirely
00:37:55.420
uh federman's on the list and she said she's going to personally fund primary challengers to anybody who
00:38:02.380
votes against kennedy uh i'm going to personally do what i can to destroy the lives of anybody who
0.70
00:38:09.200
votes against them you know i don't i'm not sure i have much power but to the extent that i'm aligning
00:38:15.800
them every single day on social media is useful i'm gonna go i'm just gonna go animal because this
00:38:24.520
has to happen all right now you can say well what if things go wrong well let's worry about that if it
00:38:31.080
happens i mean it's not like it's not like he has the ability to change something so quickly that
00:38:37.640
people are going to be dropping dead right everything will be carefully considered he does like science
00:38:43.300
even if the democrats are too dumb to realize it and i'm not i don't feel any flexibility on this
0.90
00:38:49.760
no flexibility uh this one just has to get done uh there's no option on this one sorry all the other
0.97
00:38:59.180
ones all the other ones i didn't really care about pete eggseth honestly i didn't really care
00:39:05.400
almost any of them i didn't really care i thought there were people who could do those jobs
00:39:10.880
the people that trump picked are good good picks but i didn't care this is the one i care about
00:39:17.940
this is the one that will activate me this is the one that's going to make hell come at those people
00:39:23.200
who vote against it and i'd like you to join me uh i think all republicans have to just go
00:39:29.000
we have to just go barbarian on this this one just has to get done it
00:39:36.160
it i mean it's it's the issue of the age beyond i mean obviously the debt's the the imminent one but
00:39:46.260
this is way too big this is way too big to let politics get in the way and i don't trust anybody
1.00
00:39:54.260
who would vote against them because it either means they're stupid or bought and boy if they act stupid
1.00
00:40:00.560
or bought they're gonna have a tough tough time ahead of them because we're not going to forget this one
1.00
00:40:09.240
um so thank you nicole shanahan but by the way this this is exactly what i was talking about
00:40:22.420
have you noticed that just individual citizens are saying stuff like all right well here's this gap
00:40:31.760
there's this thing that needs to be handled and you look around and you say nobody's doing anything
00:40:36.920
like nobody's making the uh making the threat real and then nicole says i can do it and then she does it
00:40:46.000
and and now it's news and now now i can i can boost it so that's what i could do like i wanted to do
00:40:55.340
something too but just complaining didn't seem enough but if i'm boosting nicole's message that's
00:41:01.860
real money now it's serious so i'm just jumping in because it's necessary if anybody else wants to
00:41:11.820
jump in and boost nicole's threat i would welcome that joel pollack gives us an update on the pacific
00:41:21.080
palisade's cleanup i think it was originally predicted it would take six to 18 months to get
00:41:26.740
rid of the toxins and allow people to rebuild but the latest is that it might get down to three months
00:41:33.280
and according to joel's reporting there's a u.s army corps of engineers rep
00:41:38.040
who says quote that's far faster than i've ever seen on any other major fire
00:41:43.840
and the there's speculation that trump is pushing hard on this
00:41:48.880
um and i hope that's what it is i i don't know what trump is doing behind the scenes
00:41:54.520
but certainly what he did in public should have been should have been kind of a wake-up call
00:42:00.020
now as i've told you um mayor bass has said that they hired a consultant
00:42:07.480
to help them figure out what to do that just sounds like corruption to me
00:42:13.840
it just sounds like corruption i'd like to see a picture of the consultant
00:42:18.300
i'd like to know the relationship that that consultant has had in the past
00:42:22.680
with the mayor are they friends have they worked together before is it a democrat
00:42:27.840
because i don't trust anything about the consultant
00:42:31.220
even without knowing anything about who they are it's just corruption as normal
00:42:36.600
if you if you're looking to give the government's money to somebody
00:42:41.540
it's just you know there's got to be some better way to control that money
00:42:47.380
um and then apparently there's some group putting together some
00:42:53.220
uh let's say low-cost housing for the areas that used to be
00:42:57.980
high-end neighborhoods so just like you imagined
00:43:02.800
um the idyllic little neighborhood may be let's say upgraded
00:43:09.300
to something that the residents don't love because it would create
00:43:21.000
so deep seek that uh open source ai according to matthew berman he was
00:43:28.620
playing with it and he got it to upgrade its own code
00:43:33.000
now being open source that means that you could
00:43:37.080
take the code of deep seek and upgrade it if you had if you had a good idea
00:43:41.920
and so i guess matt berman asked it to improve itself
00:44:03.540
now first of all i would like to see that confirmed
00:44:07.760
because the story is a little too on the nose a little too perfect
00:44:12.240
and you know a little too provocative to necessarily believe
00:44:18.680
that this is a reproducible thing and not just a fluke and that it's really twice as
00:44:24.320
fast and you know there's no downside to it etc
00:44:29.100
but if it's true it would be the first hint of what's called the singularity
00:44:40.760
so in a small way um i and i don't i don't think it could have done it without
00:44:50.480
so it's not like it you know completely improved itself without any interaction
00:44:54.640
but we're at the point where all you'd have to do is turn it into some kind of an agent
00:45:01.680
and say hey here's the deal i want you to find out
00:45:05.320
and just keep working on it just keep improving yourself
00:45:08.400
and then the ai would try different code and experiment with things until it made itself better
00:45:19.100
now it's just the first indication of what's coming
00:45:24.420
the singularity is where humans just are going to lose control entirely
00:45:28.680
because the machines will just be so far above us
00:46:09.680
they they just continually are looking for good ideas
00:46:45.600
probably was a key to trump winning a second term
00:46:49.360
because it allowed a lot of the smartest people
01:11:50.820
inspection vehicle even have a gun do they i mean if it's an inspection
01:11:58.500
vehicle in theory it would have some some force so maybe there's a gun on it i
01:12:05.280
don't know but they got four of those they've got a challenger surveillance plane
01:12:10.280
and 12 dog sledge patrols uh to monitor an area four times the size of france
01:12:20.160
but not to worry they're going to upgrade their military
01:12:24.820
to include uh three new arctic navy vessels okay
01:12:29.980
um and uh doubling the number of planned long-range surveillance drones to four
01:12:36.360
from two to four as well as satellite surveillance so that should protect them
01:12:43.560
in case america wants to conquer them but then i found out this
01:12:53.640
uh they've done the math did you know that the u.s military has three to four
01:13:00.880
hundred soldiers in greenland already that's normal it's not new
01:13:06.000
we've got three to four hundred military already in greenland america does
01:13:11.500
and uh what are they doing there they're they're part of an early warning radar
01:13:16.400
defense so they're operating a radar defense because
01:13:26.420
right because monitoring the radar is kind of sitting there looking at a screen and
01:13:34.620
you're going to need hundreds of people to what why are there three to four hundred people
01:13:39.320
i have no idea why we have three or four hundred people if we're just
01:13:47.040
so the danish politician said that if trump just said all right we own it now
01:13:58.440
we could just say you know we got 300 soldiers there
01:14:02.500
and that would be enough to conquer all of greenland
01:14:10.240
even denmark says all he'd have to do is say he's taking it and we couldn't do anything
01:14:18.160
well let me tell you that if you're subscribing to the dilbert comic which you can only subscribe to
01:14:24.780
and see if you're on x just go to my account on x and you'll see the button
01:14:29.360
or if you're a locals member but that's more political and a little bit naughtier
01:14:35.020
so make sure you can handle the political stuff if you want to be on locals
01:14:39.300
uh but we have a lot of fun on locals because it's more of a community
01:14:47.280
feature dilbert who's been disgraced on the internet
01:14:51.100
and he has to deal with being disgraced on the internet
01:14:55.820
except that he finds that it just makes his life better
01:14:59.980
so you'll have to you'll have to follow it to see
01:15:14.200
and uh it's basically the calendar is like buying a dilbert book
01:15:18.860
it's just in calendar form so it's it's got a year of comics on the front
01:15:25.100
so some of them are dilbert reborn the spicier ones
1.00
01:15:34.860
that you have to wait till the beginning of the year to buy the calendar
01:15:37.980
it's really just a way to read comics every day
01:15:40.720
so you don't have to be reading them in the exact order that they're on the calendar
01:15:45.160
but if you want that discount code you can see it's the pinned
01:15:58.460
all right ladies and gentlemen thanks for joining
