Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2739 CWSA 02⧸03⧸25

00:00:00.000 Oh, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:13.340 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time

00:00:17.880 in your whole life.

00:00:19.380 But if you'd like to take this experience up to another level, all you need is a cup

00:00:25.000 or mug or a glass of tanker gels, a sign, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any

00:00:28.720 kind, fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled

00:00:33.900 pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:37.680 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's happening now.

00:00:47.500 So satisfying.

00:00:50.920 Well, did anybody watch the Grammys last night?

00:00:55.100 If you did, I'm sorry.

00:00:57.080 Did anybody have the experience I had?

00:01:01.040 I tried to watch like a little bit of it, and I was just so grossed out.

00:01:09.100 So first of all, the aesthetic, you know, just sort of the look of the whole thing, it seemed

00:01:15.200 to be like a drag queen on LSD. 1.00

00:01:17.380 Now, again, if you like your drag queens, I don't care what anybody does as an adult, but 1.00

00:01:23.980 as a design aesthetic, I don't know.

00:01:29.520 It just looked like it was a little too much of whatever is too much.

00:01:34.480 But here's the overwhelming thing I thought.

00:01:39.240 Could you get it out of your mind, all the ditty stuff?

00:01:42.340 So in the wake of the ditty stuff, you know, they got lots of attention on Jay-Z and Beyonce,

00:01:53.560 because Beyonce won, I guess, the album of the year or something.

00:01:56.960 And they brought their 13-year-old daughter.

00:02:00.440 Now, you know that Jay-Z is being accused of something with a 13-year-old, not his daughter,

00:02:08.440 right?

00:02:08.700 Just to be clear, there's no accusations about anything with the daughter.

00:02:12.960 But he's being accused of some bad behavior with a daughter.

00:02:16.880 Now, I don't know if it's true.

00:02:18.160 He's innocent until proven guilty, unless it might be a civil thing.

00:02:23.500 I think it might be a civil thing, not a criminal thing.

00:02:28.080 But I'm not sure.

00:02:29.320 Actually, I did a fact check on that.

00:02:30.900 Is it criminal or civil?

00:02:32.800 But all I could think about was that.

00:02:36.360 And every person they showed on screen, I thought to myself,

00:02:41.220 did you have to, you know, go to a ditty party to get where you're at?

00:02:47.420 Because I wonder.

00:02:48.320 So the whole thing to me looked like a bunch of sex offenders and they're victims.

00:02:55.000 And they were dressing in drag and looking like they were all on LSD. 0.93

00:02:59.480 And I thought to myself, it's not just because I'm old, right?

00:03:05.000 Now, I get that at some age, you don't connect with the modern music.

00:03:10.180 But I've never really had that problem.

00:03:12.800 You know, if the music is good, I tend to like it,

00:03:15.320 no matter what genre it is or anything else.

00:03:18.940 But there was just something deeply disturbingly broken about the vibe of the whole thing.

00:03:25.280 And I think it's because the diddy thing just is like a wet blanket on the whole situation.

00:03:31.040 But then Ye shows up with his wife, or not wife, wife? 0.80

00:03:36.180 Yeah, wife. 1.00

00:03:38.240 Bianca Sensori.

00:03:39.460 And as he likes to do, she drops her fur jacket for the cameras and is wearing only a transparent cover-up that doesn't cover anything.

00:03:52.680 She's literally just naked with something that's like a dress but not, you know, because it's transparent.

00:03:58.800 And they make sure everybody gets a good look and everything.

00:04:03.580 And I'm trying to think, well, what's behind that?

00:04:06.980 It's not mental illness.

00:04:11.400 You know, and Ye may have some issues with mental illness.

00:04:15.060 But I don't think that's what's behind that.

00:04:18.240 It looks strategic.

00:04:19.580 It looks like he knows how to get attention.

00:04:22.700 But it looks to me like revenge on his ex-wife.

00:04:26.580 Now, I'm just reading minds here.

00:04:28.520 I have no idea what anybody's thinking.

00:04:30.500 But when I watch him go that far over the top, it's almost like he's sending a message to Kim Kardashian that maybe you should, you know, calm down your, let's say, sexual presentation of your brand while you've got kids.

00:04:50.100 Because I believe he complained about that, right?

00:04:53.020 Didn't Ye try to get Kim to tone it down because it seemed inappropriate in front of kids?

00:04:58.980 So instead of going with that approach of, hey, maybe you should tone it down in front of the kids, he goes with, all right, if you're not going to tone it down, let's see how far we can take it.

00:05:12.760 So it's almost like he's challenging Kim to say that he went too far.

00:05:20.060 Because that would be a win to say that he went too far.

00:05:24.520 So this might be entirely just a drama between two people that's being played out in front of the world.

00:05:32.340 And that's just a guess.

00:05:33.980 Just a guess.

00:05:34.900 Because it's hard to imagine what would be any other reason for it.

00:05:42.300 Ye's wife has resting hostage face.

00:05:44.900 You know, I don't think that's what's going on.

00:05:46.660 Again, I can't read minds, but I'll just tell you the impression I get.

00:05:52.780 The impression I get is that she's submissive by preference, just lifestyle preference.

00:05:58.860 And the fact that he requires her to do things that are way beyond, you know, what you would expect a normal person's limit to be, might be exactly why she likes him.

00:06:09.160 So if you're saying, oh, he's abusing her and she's putting up with it and you're watching some kind of crime in action or something, maybe, maybe, right?

00:06:19.600 I can't read the minds, but it doesn't look like it.

00:06:22.660 To me, it looks like she's a full participant and has agency.

00:06:27.040 And the way she wants to use her own agency is being a part of this thing. 0.86

00:06:32.180 So it doesn't look like she's fighting it to me.

00:06:34.800 I don't know.

00:06:35.500 I hope not.

00:06:36.300 I mean, I hope she's not any kind of a victim, but she looks like she's fully, fully on board.

00:06:42.860 Someday she might look back at it and say, I wish I hadn't done that.

00:06:46.220 But that's true of all of us.

00:06:48.800 We all have those things.

00:06:50.620 Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

00:06:52.580 But that's later.

00:06:54.520 Well, MSNBC is a January primetime demographic.

00:06:58.920 They're down 41% from this time last year.

00:07:01.560 Have you thought about how hard it would be to be MSNBC in the face of overwhelming success by Trump and Doge?

00:07:12.600 Their only job now is to somehow stop the success.

00:07:19.040 To stop the success.

00:07:20.860 The things that Trump is doing are definitely popular with more than half of the public.

00:07:26.100 You know, maybe you could find one thing or something that isn't.

00:07:30.600 But generally speaking, you know, reducing the expenses of the government and, you know, closing up the border and getting rid of the pronouns is mostly pretty popular stuff.

00:07:40.180 So if you're the network whose job is to stop the government from doing popular, useful, successful things, I guess people don't watch you so much.

00:07:53.040 It's kind of hard to keep the illusion up that there were ever two sides.

00:07:58.260 Not really.

00:07:59.200 I mean, there was one side that was just like a negative force.

00:08:02.480 Anyway, I keep waiting for Trump to steal my democracy.

00:08:08.520 And I think it's going to happen any minute now.

00:08:11.860 I mean, I was warned.

00:08:13.300 MSNBC said he's going to steal your democracy.

00:08:16.520 And I just, I quake in fear every day that he's going to go steal my democracy.

00:08:23.300 No, don't steal my democracy.

00:08:25.000 Anyway, as you know, the five or six viewers who are still watching MSNBC are not going to be fooled by Trump's overwhelming and rapid success.

00:08:38.040 Because you know what they know about his overwhelming and rapid success of fixing every problem in the United States?

00:08:45.100 Clearly, that's a distraction from his real attempt to steal your democracy.

00:08:50.520 Yeah, he's coming for it.

00:08:52.300 He's coming after your democracy.

00:08:55.000 Well, let's check on the Trump effect in other countries, shall we?

00:09:00.380 If the Trump effect is what we say it is, this all-powerful force, it would have an effect on not just domestic stuff, not just on Republicans, but might have an effect on other countries.

00:09:13.440 Let's do a little survey of the other countries and find out.

00:09:17.800 Let's see, France.

00:09:19.220 What's happening in France?

00:09:20.340 Oh, Europe's richest man, who's French, Bertrand Ornau, he praised Trump and he said, I just returned from the U.S. and I have witnessed the winds of optimism in that country.

00:09:35.480 He said, coming back to France is a bit like taking a cold shower.

00:09:39.360 And he's looking to do a lot more business in America because that's the good place to do business.

00:09:51.340 So I guess France just decided that they suck compared to America's winds of optimism.

00:09:59.240 How about Venezuela?

00:10:01.960 You know, we've had a tough time with Venezuela.

00:10:04.520 They've had words, we've had words.

00:10:06.540 And, you know, they say, we're not sending our criminals.

00:10:09.300 And we say, you're sending your criminals.

00:10:11.480 And they say, we're not doing that.

00:10:13.100 What are you talking about?

00:10:14.540 And then we say, we're shipping them back.

00:10:16.220 And they say, you can't ship them back.

00:10:18.560 They don't exist.

00:10:20.220 Or something like that.

00:10:21.400 But Venezuela just agreed to receive back into the country all the gang members and Venezuelan illegal aliens. 0.99

00:10:30.540 So they've agreed to take back everybody we capture in that Trend Aragua group.

00:10:37.820 Okay.

00:10:38.440 Now, how did that agreement quickly come about?

00:10:42.800 Happened kind of quickly.

00:10:43.920 Well, it turns out that Trump sent his secret weapon to Venezuela, Richard Grinnell.

00:10:51.960 So Richard Grinnell, I didn't know this, but I guess they're going to call him a special envoy.

00:10:57.400 Wow, is he special?

00:10:59.700 It seems like wherever you send Richard Grinnell, something good happens.

00:11:05.300 It's very consistent.

00:11:07.120 What'd you do?

00:11:07.800 Well, we sent Richard Grinnell.

00:11:09.240 We got some hostages back.

00:11:11.380 What'd he do on Tuesday?

00:11:13.680 That's Monday.

00:11:14.480 What'd he do on Tuesday?

00:11:15.320 Well, went to Venezuela and arranged for all the criminals to be in Venezuela to be sent back.

00:11:21.060 Oh, that was a one-day meeting?

00:11:23.460 He did that with one meeting?

00:11:24.980 Yeah.

00:11:25.700 That's what he does.

00:11:26.460 He has one meeting.

00:11:27.760 And then he gets what he wants, and then he goes home.

00:11:29.780 And then he's a special envoy for something else.

00:11:32.060 I've never seen a special envoy who was a, what would you call it in baseball?

00:11:40.660 A utility player, or somebody who can play every position?

00:11:45.040 Every now and then you get like a baseball player who can literally play every position.

00:11:50.340 You know, very rare.

00:11:51.800 But apparently Grinnell can do that.

00:11:53.860 So we'll just, I guess Trump will just keep sending him wherever something needs to be fixed.

00:12:00.300 How about Panama?

00:12:01.820 Well, while many of you were taking the weekend off, guess what Trump was not doing?

00:12:08.440 Taking the weekend off.

00:12:10.160 Guess what Doge was not doing this weekend?

00:12:13.000 Taking the weekend off.

00:12:14.200 And Musk was bragging that it's like a superpower, because all the enemy goes away for a weekend,

00:12:21.240 and then the Doge people can do their thing.

00:12:23.980 And since the enemy, I'll say the deep state or whoever wants to prevent them from success,

00:12:29.340 let's call them the enemy in this context, they just don't do the work.

00:12:33.380 So Musk comes in with people who do the work, and do more than the work,

00:12:40.740 and then do more work than you've ever seen anybody ever do,

00:12:43.760 and sleep at the office and get up and do more work.

00:12:46.460 How do you compete with that if you're some government bureaucrat?

00:12:50.880 It's like they don't have a chance.

00:12:52.200 So anyway, speaking of Panama, so Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, went down there to talk to Panama

00:13:05.160 about the fact that China's got too much control over their operation.

00:13:09.880 And Panama said, you know what?

00:13:12.840 How about we just don't renew their contract?

00:13:15.960 And I guess Rubio said, well, I'll take that back to the present.

00:13:20.460 That might work.

00:13:22.200 Now, did we really want to send the military down to Panama?

00:13:27.540 No.

00:13:28.700 Did we want to conquer Panama and make it a state?

00:13:33.060 No.

00:13:34.340 Did we want any military action at all?

00:13:37.180 No.

00:13:37.980 No, we didn't.

00:13:39.620 But here's what Trump can do that nobody else can do.

00:13:42.760 He can make you believe it's coming.

00:13:46.180 And the thing is, he doesn't really bluff.

00:13:50.040 You know, he does hyperbole a lot.

00:13:52.200 But he doesn't bluff.

00:13:53.840 If he says, if you do this, I'm going to do this.

00:13:57.400 He does that.

00:13:58.520 And he's so consistent that people know, okay, man, that's not a bluff.

00:14:03.200 If anybody else does things like that, the other side treats it as a bluff first.

00:14:09.520 And the first thing you do is treat it as a bluff, just to see.

00:14:12.700 You know, maybe you can work with it.

00:14:14.340 But if you know he's not bluffing, you go immediately to the solution.

00:14:19.000 Because everything else would be a waste of time.

00:14:21.960 So you go to the solution.

00:14:23.460 Apparently, that's what's happening.

00:14:25.420 So Panama is offering this deal.

00:14:27.120 I don't know yet if Trump is going to say this is good enough.

00:14:31.640 He might push again.

00:14:33.180 You know, because the deal is that Panama would wait two years for their contract with the Chinese that are apparently managing some part of the canal.

00:14:43.880 And they would just go home, I guess.

00:14:47.720 So that's a win.

00:14:49.780 Looks like a clean win.

00:14:51.480 It happened so quickly that there was a picture of Rubio getting off the plane.

00:14:58.280 And I posted something on X about, wouldn't it be good to have a quick win?

00:15:03.660 Because it really sets the stage if you have some fast wins.

00:15:06.960 By the time I posted it, it was already being reported that he got a deal.

00:15:13.460 Like, wow.

00:15:14.980 On a Sunday.

00:15:16.440 He's working the weekends, getting deals.

00:15:19.420 Nice.

00:15:21.640 Well, you've also probably heard that Greenland is getting a little flexible.

00:15:27.400 Now, if you haven't seen a good map of the top of the world,

00:15:31.480 where you can see the extensive, let's say, border of Russia,

00:15:37.840 and you see the passage that Russia wants to have control over through the Arctic,

00:15:43.520 and you see where Greenland is situated,

00:15:47.520 one thing that's very clear,

00:15:49.960 and apparently the NATO Secretary General said the same thing.

00:15:54.160 He said, quote,

00:15:54.840 he just agreed with President Trump on Greenland

00:15:57.140 and is calling on Denmark to immediately begin negotiations.

00:16:00.700 So NATO was saying, yeah, this is a risk bigger than we want to take.

00:16:08.400 Greenland has to be controlled by a serious military,

00:16:12.300 or it's vulnerable, and it's vulnerable in a really bad way.

00:16:17.460 So now we know that, I guess, Denmark has softened to the point of saying,

00:16:22.520 well, the people in Greenland have to decide.

00:16:26.020 And I saw at least one poll that said 57% of Greenlanders want to become part of the United States,

00:16:32.420 but I don't believe that.

00:16:33.320 I think it's more likely that the Greenlanders want to be left alone and have their own autonomy.

00:16:38.840 So it looks like they may have offered that the U.S. can have a lot more military presence in Greenland,

00:16:46.920 but that they wouldn't, you know, it wouldn't be controlling the government.

00:16:52.040 Does that work?

00:16:53.000 Let me describe what it means if the entire military in your country is from another country.

00:17:04.980 If you agree that your entire country will be populated with someone else's military, 0.80

00:17:12.340 you just hand it over to the country.

00:17:15.460 The only reason it's safe is that we don't give a shit about their tiny population of Greenlanders, 1.00

00:17:21.860 and we wish them well.

00:17:24.040 When I say we don't give a shit, I don't mean that we dislike them.

00:17:28.480 We like them.

00:17:30.080 I mean, Don Jr. went there.

00:17:31.320 They got along great.

00:17:32.280 They seem like terrific people.

00:17:34.140 And I hope that they get as much autonomy as they want,

00:17:37.900 and I hope they do great.

00:17:40.780 But if the U.S. military is the only military in the country,

00:17:45.580 I'm not sure you can exactly say that that's autonomous,

00:17:50.760 but if it works for them, and it might, it might,

00:17:55.640 you know, as long as we agree to leave them alone politically,

00:17:57.940 because they're not doing anything that would hurt us, right?

00:18:01.200 They're completely harmless.

00:18:03.160 They have no ill will toward the United States.

00:18:05.400 We have no ill will toward them.

00:18:07.960 Maybe they can just do their thing, get richer,

00:18:10.760 maybe make some deals with America.

00:18:12.460 Maybe there'll be some American enterprise working there,

00:18:15.660 give them some more jobs.

00:18:16.600 To me, it's all upside.

00:18:19.100 It looks like it's all upside for them and us.

00:18:21.740 So it looks like the Trump effect is going to make something happen

00:18:25.080 in Greenland that's good.

00:18:27.880 Let's check on Mexico.

00:18:30.280 Let's see.

00:18:31.900 The funniest thing that happened recently,

00:18:33.900 it wasn't yesterday,

00:18:34.840 but the Mexican government agreed or offered

00:18:39.440 that they would work with the U.S. military against the cartels.

00:18:44.720 Do you have any problem with that?

00:18:47.420 The Mexican government offered

00:18:50.140 to work with the U.S. military to get the cartels.

00:18:54.220 Does anybody see a problem with that?

00:18:56.240 Like, the government is the cartel,

00:19:01.260 or at least works closely with them.

00:19:03.400 The last thing our military is going to do

00:19:06.100 is allow the leaks in the government

00:19:10.000 to destroy all their military plans.

00:19:13.160 There isn't the slightest chance

00:19:15.140 that the U.S. military,

00:19:17.460 if they were to plan an attack on the cartels,

00:19:20.180 there's not the slightest chance

00:19:21.860 they would tell the Mexican government

00:19:23.840 what they were planning to do.

00:19:25.000 That would just be telling the cartels.

00:19:28.360 Everybody knows that.

00:19:30.080 So it's kind of hilarious

00:19:31.020 that the Mexican government would say,

00:19:33.400 hey, you know,

00:19:34.680 why don't we help with our military?

00:19:36.580 And you can imagine the U.S. military saying,

00:19:39.280 ah, thanks for the offer.

00:19:42.760 I think we're good.

00:19:43.800 I think we're good.

00:19:44.720 We'll take care of this.

00:19:47.280 So that's happening.

00:19:49.080 Meanwhile, P. Hegsef is heading to the border,

00:19:51.940 and he says he's going to observe

00:19:54.740 the military deployment there.

00:19:57.580 Again, this is perfect presidenting.

00:20:01.460 Now, that doesn't mean

00:20:03.080 that the president ordered Higsef

00:20:04.600 to go to the border,

00:20:05.580 but don't you feel better about everything

00:20:08.020 when the leader goes

00:20:10.000 and he's there on site?

00:20:11.780 No matter how many times he does it,

00:20:13.820 he or she.

00:20:15.240 Whenever the leader goes to the place,

00:20:17.660 we all feel better,

00:20:19.340 and we know that.

00:20:20.840 But when it was Biden,

00:20:22.400 he couldn't go to the place,

00:20:24.820 and I don't think enough

00:20:26.320 of his people did either.

00:20:28.100 So, yeah,

00:20:28.800 the power of just going to that place,

00:20:31.080 whatever that place is,

00:20:32.440 if you're a leader,

00:20:33.960 very powerful.

00:20:35.380 And Trump administration

00:20:37.040 uses that really well.

00:20:39.560 Now,

00:20:40.080 I think that Higsef

00:20:41.880 is probably doing a lot more

00:20:43.340 than just checking out the deployment

00:20:45.600 to stop people

00:20:46.820 from crossing the border.

00:20:47.840 I assume

00:20:49.360 he's also having conversations

00:20:51.760 about offensive attacks

00:20:54.440 on the cartels.

00:20:56.240 Now,

00:20:57.140 in the context of that,

00:20:59.400 we have this report

00:21:00.360 that the cartels

00:21:01.520 allegedly

00:21:02.080 have authorized

00:21:03.320 using deadly drones

00:21:04.800 against Border Patrol

00:21:06.100 if needed.

00:21:08.380 I don't think

00:21:09.220 the cartels

00:21:09.800 are going to do that.

00:21:11.060 Certainly not

00:21:11.820 if it's ordered from the top.

00:21:13.320 They're not going to do it.

00:21:14.500 Because it would be crazy.

00:21:15.820 It would be crazy for them

00:21:17.700 to give the U.S.

00:21:19.620 the green light

00:21:20.800 if the cartels

00:21:22.960 kill one American service person

00:21:25.040 or even injure them.

00:21:26.880 It's so on.

00:21:29.040 You realize

00:21:29.920 that we've got

00:21:30.540 350 million people

00:21:32.200 who are just saying,

00:21:33.840 go,

00:21:35.020 go,

00:21:36.140 do it,

00:21:37.120 do it,

00:21:38.060 do it,

00:21:38.780 don't shoot us.

00:21:39.640 But we're certainly

00:21:41.560 rooting for the military

00:21:43.400 to get rid of

00:21:44.780 some cartel leaders.

00:21:46.880 So we'll see

00:21:47.720 what happens there.

00:21:49.120 Well,

00:21:49.460 how about Canada?

00:21:51.000 So Canada

00:21:51.720 has a unique,

00:21:54.200 they've got a strategy

00:21:55.060 for fighting

00:21:55.720 back against

00:21:56.600 the United States.

00:21:57.380 I don't know

00:21:57.640 if you saw it

00:21:58.080 on the weekend.

00:21:59.280 But they sent

00:22:00.320 their designee

00:22:03.060 who would act sad.

00:22:04.400 So on one hand,

00:22:08.440 you've got Trump

00:22:09.160 who's putting tariffs

00:22:10.320 on Canada

00:22:10.940 that are so big

00:22:11.840 it could destroy

00:22:12.560 their entire economy

00:22:13.640 and their country.

00:22:15.200 And the response

00:22:16.260 is to tell us

00:22:17.000 it makes us feel sad.

00:22:18.760 It makes us feel sad.

00:22:20.180 We were so friends.

00:22:21.780 But we were such good friends.

00:22:23.660 Why would you do this?

00:22:24.680 It makes us feel sad.

00:22:26.260 But we're all sad now.

00:22:28.340 What if we stop being friendly?

00:22:31.720 We were so friendly,

00:22:32.740 but now we're sad.

00:22:34.400 So that's their defense.

00:22:38.440 So it turns out

00:22:39.540 that the biggest export

00:22:40.760 of Canada

00:22:41.260 was testosterone.

00:22:43.740 There's something about

00:22:44.900 they're also going to have

00:22:46.020 some tariffs

00:22:46.620 on American stuff

00:22:47.560 that we don't care about.

00:22:49.400 We may never even notice

00:22:51.080 because the difference

00:22:52.760 in size of our markets

00:22:54.180 is such

00:22:54.680 that their tariffs

00:22:55.920 won't have the same effect

00:22:56.920 as our tariffs.

00:22:59.160 But it gets better.

00:23:00.980 Doug Ford,

00:23:01.920 the premier of Ontario,

00:23:03.600 he's not going to have

00:23:05.160 any of this

00:23:05.700 American bullying.

00:23:07.420 So he's decided

00:23:08.460 that he's not going to give

00:23:10.220 contracts to Americans

00:23:12.740 for some stuff

00:23:13.840 they're doing in Ontario.

00:23:16.120 To which I say,

00:23:17.420 oh, wait a minute.

00:23:18.340 Why would Americans 1.00

00:23:19.360 get those contracts

00:23:20.420 in the first place?

00:23:21.340 I can only think

00:23:24.260 of one reason

00:23:24.840 that they were

00:23:26.880 the best bid

00:23:28.020 so to hurt us

00:23:31.020 they're going to use

00:23:32.700 the people

00:23:33.220 who are not as good

00:23:34.720 to build their stuff.

00:23:36.700 Okay.

00:23:37.440 Good luck with that.

00:23:39.540 You know,

00:23:40.000 there was a reason

00:23:40.560 you picked American companies,

00:23:42.080 but hey,

00:23:42.800 if you can do it

00:23:43.920 on your own,

00:23:44.920 let's see.

00:23:45.760 But here's the best part.

00:23:46.720 He decided

00:23:48.040 that he was going

00:23:48.860 to turn off

00:23:50.740 access,

00:23:51.680 at least in Ontario,

00:23:54.060 to Starlink.

00:23:57.660 So,

00:23:58.420 who taught Canada

00:24:03.820 how to fight?

00:24:05.900 They're going to turn off

00:24:06.980 their own internet.

00:24:10.180 They're going to turn off

00:24:11.340 their own internet

00:24:12.060 to teach us a lesson.

00:24:14.320 But they're also sad.

00:24:18.500 They're sad, too.

00:24:19.860 So,

00:24:20.080 it's not just that

00:24:20.760 they're declining.

00:24:21.840 It's not just that

00:24:22.840 they're turning off

00:24:23.580 Starlink for their 1.00

00:24:25.520 rural and poor population.

00:24:28.000 They're also sad.

00:24:29.740 So,

00:24:30.080 you put those two together,

00:24:31.200 I don't know what

00:24:31.700 Trump's going to do about it.

00:24:35.860 Oh,

00:24:36.460 my,

00:24:37.000 oh,

00:24:37.160 my.

00:24:37.820 Anyway,

00:24:39.680 so those are

00:24:40.560 the silly countries.

00:24:42.220 So,

00:24:42.500 now we know

00:24:42.880 how the silly countries act.

00:24:44.040 How about China?

00:24:45.760 Now,

00:24:46.160 say what you will

00:24:46.940 about China.

00:24:48.900 They're a pretty

00:24:49.740 serious country,

00:24:51.200 right?

00:24:51.480 They're not like

00:24:51.960 the silly ones.

00:24:53.280 So,

00:24:53.620 what did China do

00:24:54.560 when it entered

00:24:55.400 what looked like

00:24:56.100 a trade war

00:24:56.940 with the United States

00:24:57.800 when the United States

00:24:59.680 said it was going

00:25:00.880 to raise the tariff

00:25:01.580 by 10%?

00:25:03.220 China,

00:25:03.940 the most rational

00:25:05.060 country in the world,

00:25:06.300 said,

00:25:07.040 oh,

00:25:07.460 well,

00:25:07.720 that would be a trigger

00:25:08.600 to have larger

00:25:09.480 trade talks.

00:25:10.380 And then we say,

00:25:13.480 oh,

00:25:13.960 yeah,

00:25:14.280 exactly.

00:25:15.500 Exactly.

00:25:16.140 That's what we want.

00:25:17.360 Let's have some

00:25:18.060 larger trade talks.

00:25:19.640 And apparently,

00:25:20.520 they may have made

00:25:21.200 some,

00:25:22.420 they may have made

00:25:25.260 some promises

00:25:25.860 to further reduce

00:25:27.200 fentanyl precursor

00:25:28.660 exports,

00:25:29.580 which they say

00:25:30.580 they weren't doing.

00:25:32.860 So,

00:25:33.460 China went from, 0.87

00:25:34.700 we're not producing

00:25:35.840 any fentanyl

00:25:36.700 to,

00:25:37.960 let's talk,

00:25:38.820 by the way,

00:25:39.580 we'll try to reduce

00:25:40.360 all the fentanyl.

00:25:42.040 Wait,

00:25:42.940 you just said

00:25:43.980 you don't have fentanyl,

00:25:45.760 that you already

00:25:46.260 fixed that problem?

00:25:47.040 Yeah,

00:25:47.240 yeah,

00:25:47.620 we fixed it.

00:25:48.940 But we'll fix it

00:25:50.040 way better

00:25:50.560 if we have these

00:25:52.360 comprehensive talks.

00:25:54.640 Well,

00:25:55.140 I don't expect China 0.99

00:25:56.260 to do anything

00:25:57.000 on fentanyl

00:25:57.620 because they have

00:25:58.040 a track record

00:25:58.700 of promising

00:25:59.680 and not doing it.

00:26:00.500 but now we've

00:26:02.280 got a hammer

00:26:02.820 and it's the tariffs

00:26:04.700 and I don't think

00:26:06.200 they're going to

00:26:06.600 avoid them.

00:26:07.940 I don't think

00:26:08.680 Trump is,

00:26:09.500 here's what I've,

00:26:10.880 here's what we did

00:26:11.600 wrong before.

00:26:12.800 When they promise

00:26:13.900 to do something,

00:26:15.160 we've pulled back

00:26:17.080 on any punishment.

00:26:19.960 Now,

00:26:20.480 I'll need a fact check

00:26:21.300 on that,

00:26:21.660 but I think that's the case.

00:26:23.480 Shouldn't we keep

00:26:24.360 the punishment on

00:26:25.260 until we see results?

00:26:26.880 I mean,

00:26:27.080 if the punishment

00:26:27.680 is tariffs,

00:26:29.600 shouldn't we keep

00:26:31.020 them on

00:26:31.400 until the fentanyl

00:26:33.020 stops coming

00:26:33.640 from China?

00:26:35.480 Why would we

00:26:36.300 take off the pressure

00:26:38.400 when we know

00:26:39.500 they lie about

00:26:40.200 this exact thing

00:26:41.040 all the time?

00:26:42.580 Well,

00:26:43.260 we'll see what happens.

00:26:45.440 Let's see how

00:26:46.180 South Africa

00:26:46.920 is doing.

00:26:49.500 Trump just

00:26:50.380 cut off

00:26:51.880 American funding

00:26:53.140 for South Africa,

00:26:54.340 which was

00:26:55.120 $660 million

00:26:57.120 a year.

00:26:58.740 And $400 million

00:26:59.740 of that was

00:27:00.260 for AIDS,

00:27:01.740 to battle AIDS

00:27:02.800 in that country.

00:27:04.280 But also,

00:27:05.120 a lot of it

00:27:05.540 was for education

00:27:06.320 and economic

00:27:07.780 development.

00:27:09.420 And Trump

00:27:10.360 basically said

00:27:11.320 that bad things

00:27:12.540 are happening

00:27:12.940 over there,

00:27:13.600 that the government

00:27:14.380 is confiscating land

00:27:15.760 and treating

00:27:16.300 certain classes

00:27:17.240 of people,

00:27:18.720 white people,

00:27:20.720 very badly,

00:27:22.000 all in caps.

00:27:23.400 Now,

00:27:24.040 I went to

00:27:24.540 perplexity,

00:27:25.200 and I said,

00:27:26.920 what percentage

00:27:27.860 of the GDP

00:27:28.860 would $660 million

00:27:34.700 be?

00:27:35.220 It's not much.

00:27:36.140 I mean,

00:27:36.320 it's less than

00:27:36.760 1% of their GDP.

00:27:38.700 So,

00:27:39.480 they can fund

00:27:40.940 all those things

00:27:41.860 if they want to

00:27:43.560 move their priorities

00:27:44.600 around.

00:27:45.420 So,

00:27:45.740 I'm not even sure

00:27:46.340 why we were involved

00:27:47.900 in giving them

00:27:48.460 so much money.

00:27:49.740 If it's a tiny part

00:27:51.060 of their GDP,

00:27:52.940 it kind of means

00:27:53.440 they didn't need it.

00:27:54.240 but it was expensive.

00:27:56.400 So,

00:27:56.880 maybe it was just

00:27:57.500 to control them

00:27:58.540 or,

00:27:59.660 I don't know,

00:28:00.560 seem like we're

00:28:01.160 good people

00:28:01.660 or something.

00:28:03.800 But according

00:28:04.660 to perplexity,

00:28:05.780 it's based

00:28:06.400 on a fake issue

00:28:07.380 and that the fact

00:28:08.920 that farmers

00:28:09.740 are being attacked

00:28:10.780 is not about

00:28:11.960 white farmers.

00:28:13.460 Yeah,

00:28:13.680 according to perplexity,

00:28:15.320 which I'm pretty sure

00:28:16.640 wants to do business

00:28:17.580 in China,

00:28:18.060 the attacks

00:28:21.980 on the farmers

00:28:22.700 include black farmers.

00:28:24.980 So,

00:28:25.600 there you go.

00:28:26.660 You thought

00:28:27.480 that it was

00:28:27.860 against white farmers,

00:28:29.220 but perplexity

00:28:30.420 says black farmers

00:28:31.540 also

00:28:32.160 have been attacked.

00:28:35.220 So,

00:28:36.060 it's not really

00:28:36.880 about the white farmers,

00:28:37.800 is it?

00:28:38.160 According to perplexity.

00:28:39.840 No,

00:28:40.180 I don't believe

00:28:40.680 any kind of search engine

00:28:42.160 that says anything

00:28:43.420 about China.

00:28:44.740 Can we agree on that?

00:28:45.700 I don't believe

00:28:46.940 anybody in the NBA

00:28:48.100 who says anything

00:28:49.720 about how good China is.

00:28:51.960 There are some entities

00:28:53.280 that by their nature

00:28:54.360 you should not trust

00:28:55.340 whatsoever.

00:28:56.300 And one of them

00:28:56.820 is the news

00:28:57.640 and the other

00:28:59.100 is search engines

00:29:00.000 and the other

00:29:00.960 is anything

00:29:01.620 anybody in the NBA

00:29:02.540 says about China.

00:29:04.240 None of that

00:29:04.960 you can believe.

00:29:06.240 So,

00:29:06.640 I do believe

00:29:07.520 that probably

00:29:07.960 some black farmers

00:29:09.100 have been victims

00:29:10.420 of crime.

00:29:11.500 But I think

00:29:12.140 the bigger picture

00:29:12.900 is

00:29:13.320 the white farmers

00:29:15.420 are being driven out.

00:29:16.780 That's my guess.

00:29:17.880 I'll take a fact check

00:29:18.800 on that,

00:29:19.300 but I don't believe

00:29:20.740 anything that perplexity

00:29:21.920 tells me

00:29:22.420 on China.

00:29:23.900 Otherwise,

00:29:24.340 it's a great app.

00:29:25.100 I recommend it.

00:29:27.880 Well,

00:29:28.360 here's a little

00:29:28.900 announcement

00:29:29.400 for those of you

00:29:37.020 where you get

00:29:39.140 But if you only

00:29:39.680 want Dilbert

00:29:53.180 He will be

00:29:53.960 recruited by

00:29:54.780 Elon Musk himself.

00:29:57.120 And he will

00:29:58.080 go to work

00:29:58.900 on the Doge project.

00:30:01.460 So,

00:30:02.200 look for that.

00:31:10.880 All right.

00:31:13.740 Let's talk about

00:31:14.700 Doge.

00:31:17.100 I don't know

00:31:17.920 about you,

00:31:18.840 but a number

00:31:20.060 of people said

00:31:20.680 the same thing.

00:31:21.840 I was just

00:31:22.660 glued to X

00:31:24.100 for the last

00:31:24.660 several days

00:31:25.380 in a way

00:31:25.860 that's making

00:31:26.660 me sick.

00:31:28.360 I mean,

00:31:28.920 just so much

00:31:30.720 overload

00:31:31.520 of new stories

00:31:32.660 coming out,

00:31:33.220 and they're all

00:31:33.660 a little bit

00:31:34.240 complicated,

00:31:35.160 because you have

00:31:35.760 to understand

00:31:36.260 some context,

00:31:37.880 but so much,

00:31:40.680 so much.

00:31:41.920 So I'm going

00:31:42.400 to do my best

00:31:43.320 to try to

00:31:44.580 explain it to you

00:31:45.940 who are not

00:31:46.520 following it closely.

00:31:48.240 It's worth

00:31:49.000 following closely.

00:31:50.320 It's the most

00:31:50.840 fascinating thing

00:31:51.740 I've ever seen.

00:31:52.860 If you're going

00:31:53.520 to follow it closely,

00:31:54.640 I recommend

00:31:55.280 Mike Benz,

00:31:56.540 B-E-N-Z, 1.00

00:31:57.940 so follow him

00:31:58.660 on X,

00:31:59.300 and you'll get

00:32:00.160 all the context

00:32:01.640 you need,

00:32:02.340 and just really

00:32:03.240 well explained.

00:32:04.980 But let me

00:32:06.600 just say that

00:32:07.180 for now,

00:32:08.200 you know,

00:32:08.400 the Democrat

00:32:09.080 attack on the

00:32:10.080 Doge thing

00:32:10.720 was that,

00:32:12.640 oh,

00:32:12.920 it's an

00:32:13.300 unelected

00:32:14.000 government,

00:32:15.180 and Musk

00:32:16.780 is really

00:32:17.340 in charge,

00:32:18.880 and, you know,

00:32:19.300 trying to make

00:32:19.820 it a thing

00:32:20.600 to put a wedge

00:32:22.040 between Trump

00:32:22.780 and Musk.

00:32:23.620 But, you know,

00:32:24.940 they've, again,

00:32:26.600 praised each other

00:32:27.520 in the news.

00:32:29.560 Musk says he

00:32:30.400 loves Trump,

00:32:31.300 literally loves him,

00:32:32.640 and Trump's saying

00:32:34.600 Musk was doing

00:32:35.700 a great job

00:32:36.340 with the Doge stuff.

00:32:37.860 But here's my take.

00:32:39.300 I think Trump

00:32:40.880 is the only person

00:32:42.200 who could have

00:32:42.640 made this work.

00:32:44.420 And by this,

00:32:45.420 I mean

00:32:45.900 allowing

00:32:47.160 Elon Musk

00:32:48.780 to have

00:32:50.260 as much

00:32:50.960 say

00:32:51.940 and as much

00:32:52.900 influence

00:32:53.380 over the

00:32:53.740 cost-cutting

00:32:54.340 as possible.

00:32:55.460 And the only

00:32:56.020 reason he's

00:32:56.600 the only one

00:32:57.160 who could do it

00:32:57.860 is he has

00:32:58.800 unnatural confidence.

00:33:01.040 That's what we

00:33:01.640 like about him.

00:33:02.640 He's unnaturally

00:33:03.480 confident.

00:33:04.640 So when you

00:33:05.420 bring in

00:33:05.900 a threat

00:33:06.700 to Trump,

00:33:08.480 I don't even

00:33:09.660 think he sees

00:33:10.260 it that way.

00:33:11.540 And he shouldn't.

00:33:13.340 Because the one

00:33:14.180 thing that Trump

00:33:14.860 brings that

00:33:15.440 nobody's ever

00:33:16.080 brought

00:33:16.460 as a

00:33:17.540 president

00:33:18.420 is the

00:33:19.780 boss

00:33:20.320 charisma

00:33:20.940 of all

00:33:21.820 boss

00:33:22.160 charismas.

00:33:23.580 Now,

00:33:23.780 some of it

00:33:24.380 is for

00:33:26.300 effect,

00:33:26.800 right?

00:33:27.200 He knows

00:33:27.900 the show.

00:33:28.740 He understands

00:33:29.400 how to put

00:33:29.820 on the show.

00:33:30.620 But genuinely,

00:33:32.120 in addition

00:33:33.240 to the show,

00:33:34.300 he has the

00:33:35.040 most boss

00:33:36.080 charisma

00:33:37.140 I've ever

00:33:38.300 seen.

00:33:39.600 Now,

00:33:40.220 Elon Musk

00:33:40.880 has the

00:33:41.880 sort of

00:33:42.400 leadership

00:33:42.860 charisma

00:33:43.420 that we've

00:33:43.900 never seen

00:33:44.360 either.

00:33:45.360 But if you

00:33:46.220 put them

00:33:46.540 together,

00:33:48.080 Musk would 1.00

00:33:48.660 overshadow

00:33:49.500 anyone else.

00:33:50.780 anyone else,

00:33:52.780 this wouldn't

00:33:53.340 work because

00:33:54.400 the president

00:33:54.960 wouldn't be

00:33:55.520 strong enough

00:33:56.220 in our

00:33:56.640 minds.

00:33:57.940 Not just

00:33:58.480 in reality,

00:33:59.260 but in our

00:33:59.680 minds,

00:34:00.500 we wouldn't

00:34:01.140 say,

00:34:01.520 oh,

00:34:01.680 this Jimmy

00:34:02.160 Carter can

00:34:02.740 control this

00:34:03.340 situation,

00:34:04.040 right?

00:34:05.260 Would we

00:34:05.960 have said,

00:34:06.760 oh,

00:34:07.020 don't worry,

00:34:08.240 Biden is

00:34:08.820 really the

00:34:09.260 boss?

00:34:10.400 No,

00:34:10.720 you would

00:34:10.940 never say

00:34:11.340 that because

00:34:12.320 you wouldn't

00:34:12.580 believe it.

00:34:13.580 And you

00:34:14.220 could even

00:34:14.520 go through

00:34:14.960 some

00:34:16.060 Republicans

00:34:16.680 if they

00:34:17.460 were president.

00:34:18.460 Would you

00:34:18.820 really think

00:34:19.320 they were

00:34:19.640 in charge

00:34:20.120 if you

00:34:20.720 saw Musk

00:34:21.220 running

00:34:21.520 wild?

00:34:22.440 He's not

00:34:23.080 running wild.

00:34:23.740 He's authorized

00:34:24.220 to do

00:34:24.620 everything he's

00:34:25.120 doing.

00:34:26.820 But I

00:34:27.560 think we

00:34:28.440 have to

00:34:28.700 take a

00:34:29.480 moment to

00:34:30.660 recognize how

00:34:31.380 special this

00:34:32.100 is.

00:34:33.140 Trump is

00:34:33.700 the only

00:34:34.380 person,

00:34:35.320 the only

00:34:36.060 person who

00:34:37.400 could make

00:34:37.780 this work.

00:34:39.000 Nobody else

00:34:39.440 has the

00:34:39.760 confidence,

00:34:40.600 nobody else

00:34:41.020 has the

00:34:41.380 boss charisma

00:34:42.080 that even

00:34:43.060 when it's

00:34:43.440 done,

00:34:43.860 you could

00:34:44.160 look at

00:34:44.420 him and

00:34:44.680 say,

00:34:45.500 yeah,

00:34:45.700 Trump was

00:34:46.080 in charge.

00:34:47.460 He was

00:34:48.000 in charge

00:34:48.340 the whole

00:34:48.620 way.

00:34:49.560 So you're

00:34:50.060 going to

00:34:50.160 see Trump

00:34:50.840 maybe reverse

00:34:52.460 some of

00:34:52.920 the decisions

00:34:53.460 and he's

00:34:54.940 hinted that

00:34:55.420 he would

00:34:55.640 do that.

00:34:56.240 There's

00:34:56.440 some that

00:34:56.760 he's not

00:34:57.140 completely

00:34:57.560 on board

00:34:57.980 with,

00:34:58.380 some he

00:34:58.660 will be,

00:34:59.460 some he

00:34:59.840 might get

00:35:00.180 talked into.

00:35:01.500 But yeah,

00:35:02.880 nobody else

00:35:03.340 could make

00:35:03.620 that work.

00:35:04.300 It's a

00:35:04.640 very,

00:35:05.080 very special

00:35:05.780 situation.

00:35:07.940 Anyway,

00:35:08.300 let's talk

00:35:08.660 about what

00:35:09.460 Doge is

00:35:10.340 doing.

00:35:13.420 There is

00:35:14.180 a heart

00:35:16.360 of the

00:35:16.900 deep

00:35:17.140 state.

00:35:18.780 And I

00:35:19.760 didn't know

00:35:20.340 if Doge

00:35:21.220 could find

00:35:21.920 it because

00:35:22.880 I thought,

00:35:23.480 man,

00:35:23.680 they're going

00:35:23.920 to try to

00:35:24.620 drill everywhere

00:35:25.680 at once and

00:35:26.520 they're not

00:35:27.840 going to know

00:35:28.220 how to

00:35:28.540 decipher the

00:35:29.240 government.

00:35:29.800 It's too

00:35:30.100 complicated and

00:35:31.000 the money is

00:35:32.140 flowing in so

00:35:33.200 many directions.

00:35:33.840 You'll never

00:35:34.380 know exactly

00:35:35.020 who's funding

00:35:35.740 what or who's

00:35:36.440 behind everything.

00:35:37.160 And so I

00:35:38.180 said to

00:35:38.480 myself,

00:35:39.160 you know,

00:35:40.320 the best

00:35:40.820 person in

00:35:41.320 the world

00:35:41.780 to decipher

00:35:43.160 the complexity

00:35:43.880 is,

00:35:44.400 you know,

00:35:45.640 Elon Musk

00:35:46.280 and whoever

00:35:46.780 he picks

00:35:47.480 to do it.

00:35:48.600 I mean,

00:35:48.860 you couldn't

00:35:49.340 get better

00:35:49.680 people.

00:35:50.480 But I

00:35:50.980 still thought

00:35:51.740 it's beyond

00:35:53.400 what a

00:35:53.940 human can

00:35:54.420 do.

00:35:55.260 Like,

00:35:55.740 no matter

00:35:56.040 how smart

00:35:56.560 the human

00:35:56.920 is,

00:35:57.220 I thought,

00:35:57.580 nah,

00:35:58.280 never going

00:35:58.880 to get

00:35:59.080 there.

00:36:00.180 But this

00:36:01.540 is where

00:36:01.820 Mike Benz

00:36:02.480 comes in.

00:36:03.580 Because Mike

00:36:04.160 Benz for the

00:36:04.760 last several

00:36:05.280 years has been

00:36:06.180 detailing the

00:36:07.680 architecture of

00:36:09.120 the,

00:36:09.880 I'll call it

00:36:10.380 the deep

00:36:10.720 state,

00:36:11.200 and you

00:36:11.400 could argue

00:36:11.800 whether that's

00:36:12.300 a good name

00:36:12.740 or not.

00:36:13.440 But he's

00:36:13.860 detailed where

00:36:14.780 the money

00:36:15.180 goes,

00:36:15.800 where the

00:36:16.100 real power

00:36:16.620 is,

00:36:17.500 which entities

00:36:18.280 are essentially

00:36:19.400 fake cutouts

00:36:21.020 for intelligence,

00:36:22.480 et cetera.

00:36:23.460 And so the

00:36:24.640 Doge team

00:36:25.340 had a map.

00:36:27.760 They had a

00:36:28.580 map.

00:36:29.320 They were not

00:36:30.000 drilling randomly.

00:36:32.380 I'm pretty

00:36:33.260 sure,

00:36:33.900 and this is

00:36:34.340 not confirmed,

00:36:35.240 but common

00:36:35.860 sense tells

00:36:36.440 you it's

00:36:36.760 true,

00:36:37.200 because Benz

00:36:38.240 and Musk,

00:36:39.260 they're familiar

00:36:41.480 with each

00:36:41.900 other's work.

00:36:43.200 So you

00:36:43.760 don't have

00:36:44.040 to wonder

00:36:44.360 if they're

00:36:45.280 familiar with

00:36:45.800 Mike Benz.

00:36:46.420 They are.

00:36:46.980 They're very

00:36:47.400 familiar.

00:36:48.640 And I

00:36:50.180 think that

00:36:50.620 was the

00:36:50.960 big break.

00:36:52.360 I think

00:36:52.960 that Benz 0.76

00:36:53.700 has a

00:36:55.600 place in

00:36:56.020 history that

00:36:57.040 I don't know

00:36:57.540 if he'll ever

00:36:58.060 be fully

00:36:58.680 appreciated for

00:36:59.460 what he's

00:36:59.800 done so far

00:37:00.780 and he's

00:37:01.340 not even

00:37:01.680 done.

00:37:02.940 But,

00:37:03.400 oh my

00:37:03.980 God,

00:37:04.360 I think

00:37:04.980 it made

00:37:05.280 this

00:37:05.500 possible.

00:37:07.060 So,

00:37:07.580 but then

00:37:08.420 you've got

00:37:08.760 the complexity.

00:37:10.160 You might

00:37:10.880 drill in the

00:37:11.380 right place,

00:37:11.940 but you're

00:37:12.300 immediately

00:37:12.660 going to

00:37:13.000 be lost

00:37:14.480 in complexity.

00:37:16.340 Except,

00:37:17.260 it turns

00:37:18.320 out that

00:37:18.940 Musk may 0.97

00:37:19.920 have hired

00:37:20.440 just the

00:37:21.100 right autists

00:37:21.820 for the

00:37:22.220 job.

00:37:23.700 There are

00:37:24.340 reports that

00:37:24.960 he has

00:37:25.200 really young

00:37:25.920 people and

00:37:27.220 really brilliant

00:37:28.080 people.

00:37:28.520 people and

00:37:29.560 they can

00:37:29.960 handle just

00:37:30.620 about any

00:37:31.120 level of

00:37:31.660 complexity,

00:37:32.860 but it

00:37:33.860 gets better.

00:37:35.100 They might

00:37:35.900 be using

00:37:36.440 AI.

00:37:37.940 They might

00:37:38.800 be using

00:37:39.400 AI so

00:37:40.920 that they

00:37:41.400 can use

00:37:41.780 their own

00:37:42.100 intelligence

00:37:42.560 to get

00:37:43.100 purchase,

00:37:44.500 right?

00:37:44.720 They can

00:37:45.020 get in

00:37:45.300 there and

00:37:45.860 grab on,

00:37:46.780 and then

00:37:47.540 before they're

00:37:48.460 forced to

00:37:48.960 release by

00:37:49.660 the overwhelming

00:37:50.340 complexity and

00:37:51.360 bureaucracy of

00:37:52.060 it, they

00:37:52.660 can use the

00:37:53.200 AI to

00:37:53.820 figure out

00:37:55.140 where the

00:37:55.440 tendrils are 0.90

00:37:56.180 and figure out

00:37:57.260 where to start

00:37:57.700 sniffing it,

00:37:58.720 and that's

00:37:59.100 what they're

00:37:59.400 doing.

00:38:00.760 So I'll

00:38:02.800 explain more

00:38:03.280 about this in

00:38:03.760 a moment,

00:38:04.400 but the

00:38:04.840 deep heart

00:38:06.360 of the deep

00:38:07.840 state appears

00:38:09.420 to be one

00:38:10.480 or two

00:38:11.000 entities,

00:38:12.080 and the

00:38:12.420 biggest among

00:38:13.000 them is

00:38:13.500 something called

00:38:14.140 USAID.

00:38:15.980 Not to be

00:38:16.800 confused with

00:38:17.460 anything about

00:38:18.060 AIDS, it has 1.00

00:38:18.800 nothing to do

00:38:19.320 with that,

00:38:19.960 although there

00:38:20.460 may be some

00:38:20.980 funding for

00:38:21.940 that too,

00:38:23.060 and it's

00:38:23.540 not for aid

00:38:24.880 to other

00:38:25.280 countries.

00:38:26.500 It is

00:38:27.380 specifically

00:38:28.200 for manipulating

00:38:29.420 and controlling

00:38:30.380 other countries

00:38:31.120 and also

00:38:32.300 for controlling

00:38:33.420 the United

00:38:33.860 States via

00:38:35.420 a mechanism

00:38:36.240 by which

00:38:37.080 the funding

00:38:40.280 of external

00:38:41.340 entities

00:38:42.060 allows the

00:38:43.380 government to

00:38:43.940 do things,

00:38:44.480 our government,

00:38:45.340 to do things

00:38:45.960 that would be

00:38:46.440 illegal if

00:38:48.620 they funded it

00:38:49.420 directly.

00:38:50.760 How bad is

00:38:51.660 it?

00:38:52.520 Well,

00:38:53.400 would you like

00:38:54.080 some examples?

00:38:54.680 So this is

00:38:56.300 a $50

00:38:57.100 billion

00:38:58.260 entity

00:38:59.160 that most

00:39:00.580 of you have

00:39:01.000 never heard

00:39:01.360 of, right?

00:39:02.960 In the

00:39:03.480 comments,

00:39:04.040 tell me,

00:39:04.880 unless you're

00:39:05.420 following Mike

00:39:05.880 Benton,

00:39:06.240 you've probably

00:39:06.560 never heard

00:39:07.080 of USAID.

00:39:09.040 $50

00:39:09.500 billion budget.

00:39:11.920 Here's some

00:39:12.520 of the things

00:39:12.920 that they've

00:39:13.300 done.

00:39:15.500 Let's see,

00:39:16.360 they've,

00:39:16.700 God,

00:39:22.800 there's so

00:39:23.040 many things

00:39:23.460 they've done.

00:39:24.040 Here's some

00:39:24.420 of the things

00:39:24.720 they've done.

00:39:25.240 They do

00:39:25.720 capacity building

00:39:26.740 in other

00:39:27.160 countries.

00:39:28.280 You should

00:39:28.700 know what

00:39:29.020 that phrase

00:39:29.560 means,

00:39:30.260 capacity

00:39:30.800 building.

00:39:31.820 What that

00:39:32.440 means is

00:39:33.020 they create

00:39:33.660 organizations

00:39:34.400 and they fund

00:39:35.460 them in other

00:39:36.020 countries so

00:39:37.140 that they can

00:39:37.680 use them

00:39:38.180 later to

00:39:39.460 control the

00:39:39.960 other country.

00:39:40.940 So,

00:39:41.180 for example,

00:39:41.600 it might be

00:39:42.160 a labor

00:39:43.380 union they

00:39:44.220 get control

00:39:44.800 of or some

00:39:46.620 other charity

00:39:47.880 group that's

00:39:48.500 big or

00:39:49.240 basically any

00:39:50.420 entity they

00:39:51.060 can control.

00:39:52.860 So,

00:39:53.300 the USAID

00:39:54.280 would be the

00:39:55.400 funding for

00:39:56.860 the spies and

00:39:58.520 things to

00:39:59.000 control other

00:39:59.600 countries.

00:40:00.280 But,

00:40:01.060 they might be

00:40:01.780 controlling our

00:40:02.440 country too

00:40:03.120 because if it's

00:40:04.460 the same entity

00:40:05.280 that funds

00:40:06.460 people in other

00:40:07.100 countries that

00:40:08.160 say,

00:40:08.920 hey,

00:40:09.240 we're going

00:40:09.880 to censor

00:40:10.620 X,

00:40:12.100 well,

00:40:12.640 maybe that's

00:40:13.200 not for the

00:40:13.620 benefit of the

00:40:14.160 other countries.

00:40:15.460 Maybe that's

00:40:16.020 how the United

00:40:16.560 States,

00:40:17.700 the deep

00:40:18.080 state,

00:40:18.740 controls

00:40:19.180 Elon Musk

00:40:19.920 by funding

00:40:21.560 something in

00:40:22.280 another country

00:40:23.000 that turns

00:40:25.220 out to come

00:40:26.120 back to the

00:40:26.560 United States

00:40:27.220 as a,

00:40:27.820 hey,

00:40:28.040 you can't do

00:40:28.840 that in

00:40:29.180 Europe,

00:40:29.820 so you can't

00:40:30.840 make money,

00:40:31.440 so you can't

00:40:32.080 have X anymore

00:40:32.820 because you won't

00:40:33.720 be able to make

00:40:34.200 enough money

00:40:34.620 because you can't

00:40:35.140 operate in

00:40:35.600 Europe,

00:40:35.920 for example.

00:40:37.040 So,

00:40:37.600 there are all

00:40:38.020 these dirty

00:40:38.580 tricks that

00:40:39.960 involve our

00:40:40.600 government giving

00:40:41.300 money to

00:40:41.840 somebody in

00:40:42.300 another country

00:40:43.000 so that they

00:40:44.420 can do the

00:40:44.900 thing that our

00:40:45.380 government can't

00:40:46.040 do directly.

00:40:47.780 How bad is

00:40:48.740 it?

00:40:49.680 When Elon

00:40:51.060 Musk said to

00:40:52.020 Trump,

00:40:52.420 we should get

00:40:53.000 rid of the

00:40:53.400 entire thing,

00:40:54.180 and it has a

00:40:55.160 vast, just a

00:40:56.920 vast number of

00:40:57.880 things it's

00:40:58.340 involved in,

00:40:59.740 Trump said,

00:41:00.900 yes, the

00:41:02.600 whole thing is

00:41:03.460 going to be

00:41:03.780 erased, the

00:41:05.300 entire fucking

00:41:07.120 thing.

00:41:08.320 Here's what

00:41:09.040 else they've

00:41:09.460 done.

00:41:09.680 besides capacity

00:41:12.000 building and

00:41:12.580 overthrowing other

00:41:13.360 governments and

00:41:15.220 censoring Americans, 0.56

00:41:16.180 they funded the

00:41:17.040 EcoHealth Alliance.

00:41:19.140 Do you remember

00:41:19.520 them?

00:41:20.980 Oh, no, our

00:41:21.860 government never,

00:41:23.160 we never funded

00:41:24.020 that Wuhan lab.

00:41:25.340 What are you

00:41:25.640 talking about?

00:41:26.740 No, no, there's

00:41:27.380 no record of the

00:41:29.360 government of the

00:41:29.980 United States funding

00:41:30.960 the Wuhan lab and

00:41:32.220 their coronavirus

00:41:33.760 stuff.

00:41:34.340 No.

00:41:34.540 Oh, they did

00:41:36.120 fund USAID, and

00:41:39.280 USAID did

00:41:41.000 fund EcoHealth

00:41:42.220 Alliance, and

00:41:44.360 EcoHealth

00:41:44.860 Alliance did

00:41:46.600 fund the

00:41:47.360 Wuhan lab, but

00:41:49.420 not the American 0.97

00:41:50.160 government.

00:41:50.840 No.

00:41:51.700 See, that's how

00:41:52.260 they do it.

00:41:53.220 If there's

00:41:53.980 anything deeply

00:41:54.860 illegal and

00:41:55.820 wrong that the

00:41:56.840 public wouldn't

00:41:57.560 want to know we

00:41:58.160 did, they do it

00:41:59.700 that way.

00:42:00.100 Did you

00:42:18.080 know, and

00:42:19.040 this one blew

00:42:19.540 my mind, you

00:42:20.460 know the Soros

00:42:21.560 prosecutors, this

00:42:23.440 is another Mike

00:42:24.220 Benz discovery,

00:42:25.860 the Soros

00:42:27.260 prosecutors.

00:42:28.160 So we know

00:42:28.460 that George

00:42:28.960 Soros, and

00:42:29.760 now Alexander

00:42:30.660 Soros, has 0.97

00:42:32.380 funded various

00:42:33.780 prosecutors and

00:42:35.760 people like that

00:42:36.960 in different

00:42:37.380 states, and

00:42:38.760 using it to do

00:42:39.880 what to the

00:42:40.460 United States, we

00:42:41.180 don't know.

00:42:42.300 But it turns

00:42:42.760 out that Soros

00:42:44.960 was only the

00:42:45.740 second biggest

00:42:46.580 funder for the

00:42:48.620 so-called Soros

00:42:50.220 DAs.

00:42:52.180 Do you know

00:42:52.860 what was the

00:42:53.260 biggest funder

00:42:53.980 of the Soros

00:42:55.280 DAs?

00:42:57.480 USAID.

00:42:58.040 It was

00:42:59.640 coming from

00:43:00.200 inside the

00:43:00.920 house.

00:43:02.200 Oh my

00:43:03.060 fucking God!

00:43:04.460 It was

00:43:04.960 coming from

00:43:05.540 inside the

00:43:06.080 house the

00:43:07.380 whole time, and

00:43:08.900 we didn't know

00:43:09.460 it until

00:43:10.240 Doge got a

00:43:11.760 hold of the

00:43:12.540 documents that

00:43:13.420 are now

00:43:13.960 becoming public.

00:43:17.080 Wow.

00:43:18.640 So just

00:43:20.440 imagine that

00:43:21.040 every bad

00:43:21.720 thing that

00:43:22.280 could happen

00:43:22.880 that you

00:43:23.640 wouldn't want

00:43:24.040 to happen

00:43:24.380 went through

00:43:25.440 the same

00:43:25.800 entity,

00:43:26.280 basically.

00:43:28.300 And there's

00:43:28.960 another entity

00:43:29.680 involved with

00:43:30.840 that.

00:43:31.500 I've just

00:43:31.720 got some

00:43:32.440 other letters

00:43:33.500 in the name

00:43:34.080 I'll remember

00:43:34.780 in a minute.

00:43:36.940 All right,

00:43:37.280 but here's the

00:43:37.800 thing.

00:43:38.100 Oh, the

00:43:38.420 National Endowment

00:43:39.360 for Democracy.

00:43:41.360 I think that's

00:43:42.180 the one

00:43:42.520 Victoria Nuland's

00:43:44.100 on.

00:43:44.820 But here's

00:43:45.480 the fun

00:43:45.880 part.

00:43:47.600 When Doge

00:43:49.220 starts pulling

00:43:50.020 these strings,

00:43:51.840 there's a

00:43:52.680 certain group

00:43:53.400 of people

00:43:53.860 who emerge

00:43:54.480 like prairie

00:43:55.060 dogs.

00:43:55.640 Boop.

00:43:56.400 Their little

00:43:56.740 heads pop

00:43:57.240 up to

00:43:58.340 complain.

00:43:59.880 Those are

00:44:00.660 the deep

00:44:01.080 state operatives.

00:44:03.740 Now, maybe

00:44:04.920 there'll be

00:44:05.300 some exceptions,

00:44:06.540 but I think

00:44:07.640 you're going

00:44:07.900 to find out

00:44:08.500 the entire

00:44:09.300 architecture

00:44:10.040 of the bad

00:44:11.020 guys, because

00:44:12.220 they're the

00:44:12.580 ones who are

00:44:13.020 going to start

00:44:13.700 fighting this

00:44:14.440 the hardest.

00:44:15.880 So here are

00:44:16.320 the prairie

00:44:18.180 dogs that I

00:44:18.880 think you're

00:44:19.380 going to see

00:44:19.660 fighting the

00:44:20.240 hardest.

00:44:21.020 Probably AOC,

00:44:22.200 check.

00:44:24.140 Suddenly AOC

00:44:24.960 really cares

00:44:25.720 about keeping

00:44:27.060 this funding.

00:44:28.660 You're going

00:44:29.200 to see Jamie

00:44:29.760 Raskin, Adam

00:44:30.500 Schiff,

00:44:31.000 Swalwell,

00:44:32.100 maybe Brennan.

00:44:33.460 Clapper seems

00:44:34.240 to be in

00:44:34.600 hiding, but if

00:44:35.820 he came out

00:44:36.300 of hiding,

00:44:36.760 he'd probably

00:44:37.060 say, oh,

00:44:37.440 we should

00:44:37.720 fund it.

00:44:39.760 Have you

00:44:40.360 noticed that

00:44:40.840 Hillary is

00:44:41.540 quiet?

00:44:43.640 Nobody's been

00:44:44.280 more quiet

00:44:44.840 than Hillary 0.99

00:44:45.380 lately.

00:44:46.880 What's up

00:44:47.500 with that?

00:44:49.420 Hillary used 0.97

00:44:50.200 to say a

00:44:50.660 lot, and

00:44:51.920 now she's 0.98

00:44:52.340 kind of

00:44:52.640 quiet

00:44:52.960 lately.

00:44:55.100 We'll

00:44:55.600 find out.

00:44:57.220 And then

00:44:57.940 Bernie Sanders.

00:44:59.780 Here's what

00:45:00.440 Bernie Sanders

00:45:01.040 says about

00:45:01.620 the whole

00:45:02.080 doge thing.

00:45:03.460 Quote,

00:45:04.040 we're looking

00:45:05.300 at a rapid

00:45:05.820 growth of

00:45:06.380 oligarchy. 0.94

00:45:07.340 We're looking

00:45:08.000 at a rapid

00:45:08.820 growth of

00:45:09.320 authoritarianism,

00:45:10.560 and I fear

00:45:11.180 that we're

00:45:11.840 looking at a

00:45:12.400 rapid growth

00:45:12.940 of kleptocracy

00:45:13.960 as well.

00:45:16.400 All right,

00:45:17.160 let me put

00:45:17.640 that in a

00:45:18.060 summary.

00:45:18.280 Here are

00:45:20.440 two things

00:45:21.200 that everyone

00:45:22.580 knows don't

00:45:23.920 work for

00:45:24.780 Democrats.

00:45:25.940 All right,

00:45:26.160 two things

00:45:26.740 that don't

00:45:27.320 work.

00:45:28.240 One is

00:45:28.920 identity

00:45:29.380 politics,

00:45:30.700 and the

00:45:31.480 other is

00:45:31.800 saying,

00:45:32.340 bleeding,

00:45:33.400 if you will,

00:45:34.360 bleeding like

00:45:35.040 a sheep.

00:45:36.180 Trump's

00:45:36.820 going to

00:45:37.460 steal our

00:45:38.040 democracy.

00:45:39.860 That's my

00:45:40.560 impression of

00:45:41.080 a sheep

00:45:41.480 bleating.

00:45:43.160 Trump's

00:45:43.900 going to

00:45:44.280 steal our

00:45:44.940 democracy.

00:45:45.820 he's

00:45:47.000 kleptocracy.

00:45:49.380 So those

00:45:50.360 are two

00:45:50.660 things that

00:45:51.080 Democrats

00:45:51.460 know for

00:45:52.100 sure don't

00:45:52.720 work.

00:45:53.140 Identity

00:45:53.500 politics and

00:45:54.340 bleeding that

00:45:55.760 Trump will

00:45:56.380 steal your

00:45:56.860 democracy.

00:45:58.020 So what

00:45:58.860 are Sanders

00:45:59.400 and the

00:45:59.800 rest of

00:46:00.200 the Democrats

00:46:00.900 doing about

00:46:02.060 that?

00:46:02.920 Well, it

00:46:03.300 looks like

00:46:03.620 they're going

00:46:03.900 to double

00:46:04.280 down on

00:46:04.780 identity

00:46:05.300 politics and

00:46:06.680 say even

00:46:07.260 louder that

00:46:07.900 Trump's

00:46:08.280 going to

00:46:08.780 steal your

00:46:09.480 democracy,

00:46:10.720 but louder,

00:46:11.900 louder,

00:46:13.200 louder.

00:46:13.940 He's going to

00:46:14.300 steal your

00:46:15.040 democracy.

00:46:15.820 with his

00:46:16.680 kleptocracy

00:46:17.560 and his

00:46:18.500 oligarchy. 0.94

00:46:20.180 Stealing your

00:46:20.680 democracy.

00:46:22.480 That's all

00:46:23.420 they have.

00:46:24.880 They don't

00:46:25.820 have anything

00:46:27.020 else.

00:46:28.960 So that's

00:46:30.100 fun.

00:46:34.260 We're also

00:46:35.120 seeing Norm

00:46:35.840 Eisen and

00:46:36.580 somebody named

00:46:37.120 Mark Zaid.

00:46:38.100 They're claiming

00:46:38.820 that the firing

00:46:39.500 of the DOJ

00:46:40.440 people and

00:46:41.060 the FBI is

00:46:41.960 violating their

00:46:43.140 due process.

00:46:44.660 So really,

00:46:45.340 the identities

00:46:46.840 of everybody

00:46:48.020 on the

00:46:49.480 Hillary Clinton,

00:46:50.940 Obama,

00:46:51.620 deep state,

00:46:53.000 worst people

00:46:53.800 in the world

00:46:54.280 list,

00:46:54.880 they're all

00:46:55.420 coming out.

00:46:57.760 They're prairie

00:46:58.560 dogging.

00:46:59.760 So every

00:47:00.440 single person

00:47:01.180 you see

00:47:01.760 who pops up

00:47:02.680 their head

00:47:03.020 and says,

00:47:03.820 oh,

00:47:04.160 Musk is 0.98

00:47:04.720 running the

00:47:05.140 country,

00:47:05.580 he's an

00:47:06.040 oligarch,

00:47:07.080 you can

00:47:08.620 identify the

00:47:09.300 deep state.

00:47:09.800 their disguise

00:47:11.760 is completely

00:47:12.880 blown now,

00:47:13.900 or their

00:47:14.360 undercover is

00:47:15.780 completely blown.

00:47:17.460 That's fun.

00:47:19.700 As Elon Musk

00:47:21.180 said on X,

00:47:23.100 he said,

00:47:23.640 one lesson I

00:47:24.380 remember from

00:47:24.940 the PayPal

00:47:25.400 days,

00:47:26.720 the PayPal

00:47:27.140 days,

00:47:27.640 he said,

00:47:28.220 do you know

00:47:31.520 who complained

00:47:32.220 the loudest?

00:47:32.940 the fraudsters.

00:47:34.900 There would be

00:47:35.680 immediate over-the-top

00:47:36.700 indignation from

00:47:37.680 the fraudsters.

00:47:39.640 Normal people

00:47:40.440 will say,

00:47:41.040 quote,

00:47:41.420 I think there's

00:47:42.180 something wrong.

00:47:43.580 But fraudsters

00:47:44.400 will come hot

00:47:45.460 out the gate

00:47:46.040 with fake

00:47:46.560 outrage.

00:47:48.460 Huh.

00:47:49.560 Fraudster,

00:47:50.740 fake outrage.

00:47:52.900 We're looking

00:47:53.660 at a rapid

00:47:54.200 growth of

00:47:54.740 oligarchy. 0.94

00:47:55.660 We're looking

00:47:56.040 at a rapid

00:47:56.540 growth of

00:47:56.980 authoritarianism.

00:47:58.200 And I fear

00:47:58.600 that we're

00:47:58.880 looking at a

00:47:59.340 rapid growth

00:47:59.880 of kleptocracy

00:48:00.680 as well.

00:48:02.080 Huh.

00:48:02.240 That feels

00:48:03.500 like coming

00:48:05.380 out of the

00:48:05.780 gate hot

00:48:06.440 with fake

00:48:07.000 outrage.

00:48:08.800 I guess he

00:48:09.560 called it.

00:48:10.640 They'll claim

00:48:11.360 that they're

00:48:12.080 a single mom

00:48:12.760 with kids

00:48:13.280 and blah,

00:48:13.700 blah, blah,

00:48:14.000 blah.

00:48:14.360 So that's

00:48:15.700 how you

00:48:15.940 find the

00:48:16.340 fraudsters.

00:48:18.840 All right.

00:48:20.900 Do you

00:48:21.440 remember when

00:48:22.020 Schumer said,

00:48:25.840 it was a few

00:48:26.280 years ago,

00:48:27.060 several years

00:48:27.540 ago,

00:48:27.780 he was on

00:48:28.120 Rachel Maddow

00:48:28.760 show,

00:48:29.860 and he said

00:48:30.760 that Trump

00:48:31.580 was messing

00:48:32.100 with the

00:48:32.720 intelligence

00:48:33.180 community,

00:48:34.040 and that

00:48:34.820 was dumb

00:48:35.340 because the

00:48:36.420 intelligence

00:48:36.920 community,

00:48:37.800 quote,

00:48:38.880 has six

00:48:39.640 ways from

00:48:40.180 Sunday to

00:48:40.740 get back

00:48:41.160 at you.

00:48:42.620 Now,

00:48:43.300 how do you

00:48:43.900 interpret that

00:48:44.640 other than

00:48:45.760 Schumer

00:48:46.240 working for

00:48:47.880 the intelligence

00:48:48.860 community?

00:48:49.900 And when I

00:48:50.520 say working

00:48:50.980 for them,

00:48:51.500 I don't mean

00:48:51.940 they pay

00:48:52.340 him.

00:48:53.460 I mean,

00:48:54.640 Schumer's 0.51

00:48:55.160 their bitch 1.00

00:48:55.680 because he

00:48:56.840 told us

00:48:57.260 that,

00:48:57.720 right?

00:48:57.920 if he

00:48:59.460 says you

00:49:00.000 don't go

00:49:00.360 against the

00:49:00.940 intelligence

00:49:01.380 community

00:49:02.000 because they

00:49:03.060 will get

00:49:03.320 back at

00:49:03.720 you and

00:49:04.200 it would

00:49:04.360 be stupid

00:49:04.880 to do

00:49:05.280 it,

00:49:06.100 doesn't

00:49:06.620 that admit

00:49:07.140 that he

00:49:07.480 would not

00:49:07.900 do it?

00:49:08.920 Doesn't

00:49:09.320 that admit

00:49:09.840 if they

00:49:10.380 told him

00:49:10.840 to dance,

00:49:11.740 he would

00:49:12.080 dance?

00:49:12.780 If they

00:49:13.300 told him

00:49:13.680 to jump

00:49:14.040 off a

00:49:14.420 ledge and

00:49:15.220 break his

00:49:15.640 leg,

00:49:16.420 he would

00:49:16.720 jump off

00:49:17.100 a ledge

00:49:17.400 and break

00:49:17.720 his leg?

00:49:19.380 I mean,

00:49:20.020 what else

00:49:20.460 does it

00:49:20.760 mean?

00:49:21.760 He's telling

00:49:22.360 us directly

00:49:23.140 you can't

00:49:24.080 go against

00:49:24.520 our own

00:49:25.040 intelligence

00:49:25.480 community or

00:49:26.640 you'll pay

00:49:27.020 for it.

00:49:28.580 Now,

00:49:29.500 connect that

00:49:30.120 to USAID.

00:49:31.960 So USAID

00:49:32.760 was sort

00:49:34.380 of a

00:49:34.860 multi-faced

00:49:36.740 outfit.

00:49:38.300 So they

00:49:38.820 would do

00:49:39.120 stuff for

00:49:39.480 the State

00:49:39.860 Department,

00:49:40.460 they would

00:49:40.660 do stuff

00:49:41.040 for the

00:49:41.280 intelligence

00:49:41.660 community.

00:49:42.780 Basically,

00:49:43.380 if anybody

00:49:43.860 had a

00:49:44.440 dark

00:49:45.500 project,

00:49:46.520 they would

00:49:47.380 all go to

00:49:47.740 the same

00:49:48.080 budget because

00:49:48.800 it wasn't

00:49:49.180 really being

00:49:49.760 monitored or

00:49:51.160 audited in

00:49:51.740 the way it

00:49:52.040 should be.

00:49:52.880 Now,

00:49:53.100 at the

00:49:53.260 same time,

00:49:54.500 Musk 0.77

00:49:56.340 somehow

00:49:57.100 got access

00:49:58.720 to the

00:49:59.300 Treasury

00:49:59.740 payment

00:50:00.320 system so

00:50:02.020 that now

00:50:02.400 they can

00:50:02.760 look at

00:50:03.120 every payment

00:50:03.960 made.

00:50:05.020 And apparently

00:50:05.420 the rule in

00:50:06.540 the Treasury

00:50:06.980 was to

00:50:08.060 never question

00:50:09.040 any payment,

00:50:11.000 including if

00:50:12.180 they knew it

00:50:12.680 was going to

00:50:13.440 terrorists. 0.53

00:50:14.080 they would

00:50:15.740 still have

00:50:16.160 to pay

00:50:16.480 it.

00:50:17.380 Now,

00:50:17.980 I suppose

00:50:19.440 the reason

00:50:20.540 for that

00:50:20.940 was if

00:50:21.440 the intelligence

00:50:22.540 community

00:50:23.220 wanted to

00:50:23.860 put some

00:50:24.780 money into

00:50:25.220 play to

00:50:25.700 get something

00:50:26.120 done,

00:50:26.640 you don't

00:50:26.940 want the 0.55

00:50:27.440 Treasury

00:50:27.800 people to

00:50:28.300 say you

00:50:28.620 can't do

00:50:29.020 that because

00:50:30.400 it's already

00:50:31.700 sort of an

00:50:33.280 undercover

00:50:33.700 process.

00:50:35.520 So

00:50:35.780 between

00:50:38.340 penetrating the

00:50:39.820 U.S.

00:50:40.420 aid and

00:50:41.400 having access

00:50:42.540 to the

00:50:42.980 Treasury

00:50:43.280 payments and

00:50:44.620 then you

00:50:44.920 add all

00:50:45.420 of Elon's

00:50:46.420 alleged

00:50:46.920 autists and

00:50:48.240 then you

00:50:48.500 add AI,

00:50:50.240 oh my

00:50:50.740 God,

00:50:51.080 this is going

00:50:51.520 to be fun

00:50:52.040 as they

00:50:53.960 keep drilling

00:50:54.460 down.

00:50:57.220 So,

00:50:57.800 yeah,

00:50:58.060 we certainly

00:50:58.840 found out who's

00:50:59.600 in charge of

00:51:00.120 the country.

00:51:01.060 We'll see if

00:51:01.400 that changes.

00:51:04.320 Democrats are

00:51:05.060 doing great.

00:51:05.700 the New York

00:51:08.140 Times did

00:51:09.720 some reporting

00:51:10.320 on Sunday.

00:51:11.000 I guess they

00:51:11.400 went and

00:51:12.220 talked to a

00:51:12.620 bunch of

00:51:12.880 Democrats to

00:51:14.020 find out what

00:51:14.540 their strategy

00:51:15.180 is and the

00:51:16.080 Democrats say,

00:51:17.040 ah, we

00:51:18.300 don't have a

00:51:18.940 strategy and

00:51:20.020 we're all in

00:51:20.880 trouble and

00:51:21.360 there's no

00:51:21.720 leader.

00:51:22.780 But they

00:51:23.680 got a quote

00:51:24.180 from the

00:51:24.960 one I call

00:51:25.440 the dumbest

00:51:25.960 Democrat,

00:51:26.900 Representative

00:51:27.560 Jasmine

00:51:28.220 Crockett.

00:51:29.360 Now, I

00:51:29.840 love when

00:51:30.220 she's in

00:51:30.580 the news

00:51:31.060 because she

00:51:32.740 honestly seems

00:51:33.420 to be the

00:51:33.800 dumbest

00:51:34.220 Democrat,

00:51:34.900 but she's 0.97

00:51:35.480 also loud.

00:51:37.060 So, if

00:51:37.440 you're loud

00:51:37.860 and dumb, 0.62

00:51:38.440 it's just

00:51:38.760 extra fun.

00:51:40.800 So, here's

00:51:41.480 what Jasmine

00:51:43.280 Crockett

00:51:43.820 says,

00:51:44.260 Representative

00:51:44.740 Crockett.

00:51:45.880 She says,

00:51:46.380 quote, we

00:51:46.800 have no

00:51:47.200 coherent

00:51:47.620 message.

00:51:48.400 Okay, so

00:51:49.360 far that's

00:51:49.800 what a lot

00:51:50.140 of Democrats

00:51:50.540 say, so

00:51:51.160 that's not

00:51:51.560 dumb.

00:51:52.440 That's not

00:51:52.980 dumb at

00:51:53.300 all.

00:51:53.760 We have

00:51:54.060 no coherent

00:51:54.500 message.

00:51:54.980 But she

00:51:55.200 goes on.

00:51:57.120 But she's 0.97

00:51:57.500 talking about

00:51:57.880 Trump when

00:51:58.360 she says

00:51:58.720 this.

00:51:59.080 She goes,

00:51:59.540 this guy

00:52:00.040 is psychotic. 0.57

00:52:01.800 Psychotic.

00:52:03.780 Let's see.

00:52:04.600 Did anybody

00:52:04.880 else say

00:52:05.400 anything about

00:52:05.920 him?

00:52:07.200 Let's see.

00:52:08.060 Sanders.

00:52:08.840 We're looking

00:52:09.420 at a rapid

00:52:09.940 growth of

00:52:10.420 oligarchy. 0.94

00:52:11.020 We're looking

00:52:11.220 at a rapid

00:52:11.560 growth of

00:52:12.000 authoritarianism.

00:52:13.100 I feel that

00:52:13.640 we're looking

00:52:14.000 at a rapid

00:52:14.420 growth of

00:52:14.920 kleptocracy.

00:52:16.600 But maybe

00:52:17.380 it's a rapid

00:52:18.760 growth of

00:52:19.460 psychotic

00:52:20.740 behavior, too.

00:52:22.420 Let's throw 0.69

00:52:23.040 that in the

00:52:23.540 list, because

00:52:24.200 that works.

00:52:25.000 That's a good

00:52:25.460 strategy.

00:52:26.580 Throw in

00:52:27.160 these vague

00:52:27.980 insults.

00:52:29.220 That'll get

00:52:29.660 Trump.

00:52:31.040 Trump.

00:52:31.620 He just

00:52:32.540 buckles when

00:52:33.280 you insult

00:52:33.820 him.

00:52:34.840 Nobody

00:52:35.060 ever thought

00:52:35.480 of it.

00:52:37.720 Then she

00:52:38.340 goes on,

00:52:39.200 and she

00:52:39.800 says, this

00:52:40.480 guy is

00:52:40.780 psychotic,

00:52:41.400 and there's

00:52:41.820 so much.

00:52:43.240 Good point.

00:52:44.100 There's so

00:52:44.460 much.

00:52:47.080 He's not

00:52:47.740 only going

00:52:48.100 to steal

00:52:48.440 your democracy

00:52:49.740 and be a

00:52:51.160 kleptocracy,

00:52:52.280 but there's

00:52:53.200 so much.

00:52:54.180 There's just

00:52:54.540 so much.

00:52:56.100 And then she

00:52:56.400 goes on,

00:52:57.080 but everything

00:52:57.920 that underlines

00:52:58.680 it is white

00:52:59.280 supremacy and

00:53:00.160 hate.

00:53:00.460 There it

00:53:04.540 is.

00:53:05.360 And that's

00:53:05.880 why you're

00:53:06.260 the dumbest

00:53:06.920 member of

00:53:07.940 the Democrats.

00:53:09.980 Did nobody

00:53:10.500 give you the

00:53:11.120 memo that

00:53:13.560 this is

00:53:13.980 exactly why

00:53:14.740 you lost?

00:53:15.980 This is

00:53:16.680 exactly why

00:53:17.440 you lost.

00:53:18.880 It's this.

00:53:21.960 Anyway.

00:53:26.980 And he

00:53:27.660 says, there

00:53:28.180 needs to be

00:53:28.620 a message

00:53:29.020 that is

00:53:29.380 clear on

00:53:30.000 at least

00:53:30.300 the underlying

00:53:30.940 thing that

00:53:31.620 comes with

00:53:32.040 all this.

00:53:32.420 So she'd

00:53:33.220 like the

00:53:33.560 Democrats

00:53:34.040 to really

00:53:34.680 focus on

00:53:36.000 the white

00:53:36.340 supremacy.

00:53:37.860 Because that'll

00:53:38.680 get you elected.

00:53:42.100 Anyway.

00:53:43.600 Claudia was

00:53:44.160 leaving for

00:53:44.580 her pickleball

00:53:45.160 tournament.

00:53:45.740 I've been

00:53:45.960 visualizing my

00:53:46.760 match all

00:53:47.420 week.

00:53:48.300 She was so

00:53:48.820 focused on

00:53:49.320 visualizing that

00:53:50.200 she didn't

00:53:50.640 see the column

00:53:51.200 behind her

00:53:51.660 car on her

00:53:52.380 backhand side.

00:53:54.140 Good thing

00:53:54.920 Claudia's with

00:53:55.540 Intact,

00:53:56.160 the insurer

00:53:56.720 with the

00:53:57.140 largest network

00:53:57.840 of auto

00:53:58.220 service centers

00:53:58.840 in the

00:53:59.280 country.

00:53:59.940 Everything

00:54:00.220 was taken

00:54:00.700 care of

00:54:01.120 under one

00:54:01.580 roof and

00:54:02.080 she was

00:54:02.380 on her

00:54:02.640 way in

00:54:02.880 a rental

00:54:03.200 car in

00:54:03.760 no time.

00:54:04.260 I made it

00:54:05.000 to my

00:54:05.320 tournament and

00:54:06.600 lost in the

00:54:07.020 first round.

00:54:07.940 But you got

00:54:08.680 there on time.

00:54:09.760 Intact

00:54:10.040 insurance,

00:54:10.900 your auto

00:54:11.260 service ace.

00:54:12.400 Certain conditions

00:54:12.880 apply.

00:54:13.240 So here's

00:54:15.360 what I think.

00:54:16.120 If the

00:54:16.640 Democrats

00:54:17.140 agree, and

00:54:18.100 they all

00:54:18.400 seem to

00:54:18.720 agree, that

00:54:19.560 they don't

00:54:20.060 have a

00:54:20.540 coherent

00:54:21.000 message going

00:54:21.960 forward, what

00:54:23.900 does that tell

00:54:24.400 you about the

00:54:24.920 message they

00:54:25.440 had?

00:54:26.920 Why would

00:54:27.580 they abandon

00:54:28.240 the message

00:54:28.900 that they felt

00:54:30.080 so strongly

00:54:30.760 about, you

00:54:31.740 know, all the

00:54:32.100 messages of

00:54:32.880 the last four

00:54:34.060 years?

00:54:35.020 Why would

00:54:35.660 they give

00:54:36.120 up on all

00:54:37.580 the things

00:54:37.960 they were

00:54:38.260 fighting to

00:54:38.820 the death

00:54:39.180 for?

00:54:40.820 I can only

00:54:41.600 think of one

00:54:42.080 reason.

00:54:43.240 They knew

00:54:44.360 it wasn't

00:54:44.760 real.

00:54:47.000 Right?

00:54:48.700 Did the

00:54:49.800 Uyghurs stop 1.00

00:54:51.240 fighting?

00:54:52.300 No, because

00:54:53.420 their issue is

00:54:54.140 still the same

00:54:54.740 today as it

00:54:55.300 was yesterday.

00:54:56.420 But the

00:54:57.120 Democrats just

00:54:58.080 decided they

00:54:58.760 need a new

00:55:00.220 strategy.

00:55:01.600 If you need

00:55:02.460 a new strategy,

00:55:03.380 it means all

00:55:03.980 the things you

00:55:04.600 were trying to

00:55:05.140 sell, you

00:55:06.180 knew were

00:55:06.720 bullshit, or

00:55:07.820 you found out

00:55:08.760 were bullshit.

00:55:09.800 How in the

00:55:10.480 world would

00:55:11.180 you ever trust

00:55:11.880 somebody who

00:55:12.400 said, let's

00:55:13.220 reinvent ourselves

00:55:14.220 as a

00:55:14.680 completely

00:55:15.060 different thing

00:55:15.780 and care

00:55:16.260 about different

00:55:16.800 things, like

00:55:19.560 who would

00:55:19.860 trust that?

00:55:21.380 You know, at

00:55:21.860 least the

00:55:22.360 Republicans have

00:55:23.340 largely been

00:55:24.580 Republicans for

00:55:25.400 a long time.

00:55:26.560 You can kind

00:55:27.300 of anticipate

00:55:28.200 what a

00:55:28.660 Republican will

00:55:29.320 do in any

00:55:29.840 situation.

00:55:30.860 Now, a

00:55:31.220 MAGA Republican

00:55:31.980 is a special

00:55:33.320 brand, but you

00:55:34.640 can predict

00:55:35.280 them as well.

00:55:37.440 And I guess you

00:55:38.340 can predict what

00:55:38.980 Democrats will 0.92

00:55:39.600 do, which is

00:55:40.100 whatever is the

00:55:40.840 dumbest fucking 0.51

00:55:41.500 thing you can

00:55:42.080 do.

00:55:43.560 So, why is it

00:55:44.780 that Democrats

00:55:46.220 had any power

00:55:47.180 at all when

00:55:48.420 their message and

00:55:49.200 their priorities

00:55:49.760 were just flat

00:55:50.960 out stupid?

00:55:52.280 And the answer

00:55:53.120 is they

00:55:53.660 controlled the

00:55:54.200 media.

00:55:55.040 If you control

00:55:56.000 the media, you

00:55:57.720 can sell to

00:55:58.520 half of the

00:55:59.040 country that

00:56:00.020 stupid things

00:56:00.780 are smart

00:56:01.160 things.

00:56:01.960 And that's

00:56:02.660 what they did.

00:56:03.460 They sold to

00:56:04.480 half of the

00:56:05.000 country that

00:56:05.960 stupid things

00:56:06.700 were smart

00:56:07.140 things.

00:56:07.540 And then

00:56:08.600 when Trump

00:56:09.420 basically destroyed

00:56:11.600 the legacy

00:56:12.240 media with

00:56:13.360 Elon Musk

00:56:14.180 and X,

00:56:15.320 once the

00:56:16.200 legacy media

00:56:17.040 was so

00:56:17.560 crippled that 1.00

00:56:18.280 it couldn't

00:56:18.660 do what it

00:56:19.060 normally does,

00:56:20.120 then it became

00:56:21.100 obvious that

00:56:21.880 they were selling

00:56:22.500 bad ideas from

00:56:23.500 the start.

00:56:24.400 They only had

00:56:25.460 bad ideas.

00:56:26.800 That's it.

00:56:29.720 So, yeah,

00:56:30.900 the destruction

00:56:31.780 of the legacy

00:56:32.400 media makes

00:56:34.000 everything a

00:56:35.120 lot more

00:56:35.420 clear.

00:56:35.780 here's a

00:56:37.900 funny story

00:56:38.560 according to

00:56:39.320 Newsmax Money.

00:56:41.840 So, Obama

00:56:42.720 is building a

00:56:44.180 presidential

00:56:44.600 library and

00:56:46.480 he's being

00:56:46.960 sued by one

00:56:47.700 of the

00:56:47.880 subcontractors

00:56:48.700 for racism.

00:56:50.520 That's right.

00:56:52.300 Obama is being

00:56:53.420 sued for

00:56:54.560 racism.

00:56:55.880 Now, not

00:56:56.360 Obama, I

00:56:57.000 think, probably

00:56:57.500 just whatever

00:56:58.240 the entity

00:56:58.740 is that's

00:56:59.360 building the

00:56:59.820 library,

00:57:00.340 probably not

00:57:00.840 him personally.

00:57:02.240 But, so,

00:57:04.400 what does

00:57:04.640 your mind

00:57:05.020 say?

00:57:06.520 Your brain

00:57:07.260 automatically

00:57:07.840 goes to,

00:57:08.720 oh, oh,

00:57:10.640 there probably

00:57:11.100 was some

00:57:11.620 white contractor

00:57:12.700 who didn't

00:57:13.140 get a deal,

00:57:13.760 right?

00:57:14.600 So, so the

00:57:15.680 white contractor

00:57:16.540 is going to

00:57:17.020 sue Obama

00:57:17.780 and claim that

00:57:19.280 only the black 0.91

00:57:19.940 contractors got

00:57:20.840 the jobs,

00:57:21.440 right?

00:57:22.440 Nope.

00:57:23.360 Nope.

00:57:24.180 That's not

00:57:24.860 what it is.

00:57:25.980 Turns out it

00:57:26.920 was a black

00:57:27.560 contractor who

00:57:29.260 was suing for

00:57:29.980 racism,

00:57:31.400 suing the

00:57:32.500 Obama library

00:57:33.320 project for

00:57:34.800 racism,

00:57:35.480 saying that

00:57:36.620 they discriminated

00:57:37.480 against him

00:57:38.000 for being

00:57:38.380 black.

00:57:40.160 Now, the

00:57:40.920 counter-argument

00:57:41.580 is that the

00:57:42.620 subcontractor

00:57:43.600 did not

00:57:44.000 perform and

00:57:45.060 wasn't even

00:57:45.540 close to

00:57:46.000 doing a

00:57:46.340 good job.

00:57:47.200 That's the

00:57:47.620 counter-argument.

00:57:49.300 So, that's

00:57:50.060 happening.

00:57:51.640 So, in

00:57:52.500 other words,

00:57:54.700 the contractor,

00:57:56.300 if you believe

00:57:56.980 the counter-claim,

00:57:57.840 the contractor

00:57:59.520 was picked

00:58:00.180 because he

00:58:02.000 was black.

00:58:04.240 In other

00:58:04.900 words, it

00:58:05.320 was probably

00:58:06.080 a DEI

00:58:06.880 decision,

00:58:08.280 meaning that

00:58:09.020 the Obama

00:58:09.600 library couldn't

00:58:10.580 really be

00:58:11.200 built by a

00:58:12.060 bunch of

00:58:12.320 white people.

00:58:13.300 I mean, you

00:58:14.580 can kind of

00:58:15.080 see how that

00:58:15.660 wouldn't be

00:58:16.020 the ideal

00:58:17.120 look, you

00:58:18.080 know, not

00:58:18.360 what he's

00:58:18.740 going for.

00:58:19.880 So, he

00:58:20.660 went with

00:58:21.280 the DEI

00:58:21.820 choice, and

00:58:22.620 the DEI

00:58:23.220 choice

00:58:23.660 allegedly

00:58:24.520 failed to

00:58:25.560 perform,

00:58:26.520 and now

00:58:27.080 the DEI

00:58:27.740 choice

00:58:28.200 that failed

00:58:28.800 to perform

00:58:29.420 is suing

00:58:30.040 them, saying

00:58:32.000 that they're

00:58:32.340 discriminating.

00:58:34.840 So, the

00:58:35.860 simulation has

00:58:37.000 allowed us

00:58:37.640 to watch

00:58:38.860 as DEI

00:58:39.720 destroys the

00:58:40.640 Obama

00:58:41.080 library

00:58:41.840 construction

00:58:42.480 project.

00:58:45.960 Talk about

00:58:46.880 everything going

00:58:47.660 well for

00:58:48.180 Trump.

00:58:50.040 The Democrats

00:58:51.100 are in full

00:58:51.960 self-destruction

00:58:52.900 mode in

00:58:53.480 every way.

00:58:54.700 Now, you

00:58:55.000 can't say we

00:58:55.580 didn't warn

00:58:56.060 you.

00:58:57.080 Remember, the

00:58:58.820 warning about 0.81

00:58:59.420 DEI is not

00:59:00.320 about any

00:59:00.860 individual, it's

00:59:02.480 not about

00:59:02.940 anybody's genes,

00:59:04.300 and it's not

00:59:04.680 about anybody's

00:59:05.400 culture.

00:59:06.440 It's just if you

00:59:07.300 artificially

00:59:07.920 constrain

00:59:08.540 yourself to

00:59:09.900 a small

00:59:10.380 population of

00:59:11.280 the public

00:59:11.880 for all of

00:59:12.520 your services,

00:59:14.160 you're probably

00:59:14.880 going to find

00:59:16.280 out that that

00:59:16.740 doesn't work as

00:59:17.460 a system.

00:59:18.380 It's just not

00:59:18.940 a good system

00:59:19.600 approach.

00:59:21.300 So, yes,

00:59:22.180 DEI as a

00:59:23.000 system probably

00:59:24.560 killed the

00:59:25.020 Obama library.

00:59:25.780 Elon Musk

00:59:27.820 said he's

00:59:28.340 going to

00:59:28.500 have a

00:59:28.760 conversation

00:59:29.200 with Jamie

00:59:29.700 Diamond.

00:59:30.180 We don't

00:59:30.440 know what

00:59:30.720 that's

00:59:30.940 about, but

00:59:32.080 do you

00:59:32.940 remember that

00:59:33.440 Jamie Diamond

00:59:34.080 is the only

00:59:35.460 person who

00:59:36.120 has the

00:59:36.620 following two

00:59:37.360 qualities?

00:59:38.520 He's

00:59:39.080 unambiguously

00:59:39.940 very smart,

00:59:41.520 and he's

00:59:43.440 propping up

00:59:44.240 DEI and

00:59:45.220 says he's

00:59:45.660 going to

00:59:46.300 definitely not

00:59:46.900 back off on

00:59:47.520 DEI.

00:59:48.780 Now, how can

00:59:49.600 both of those

00:59:50.160 be true?

00:59:50.620 how can

00:59:52.000 Jamie Diamond

00:59:52.680 be unambiguously

00:59:53.980 really, really

00:59:55.000 smart, and he

00:59:55.920 is, that's

00:59:56.680 just the fact,

00:59:57.820 he's just

00:59:58.160 really, really

00:59:58.600 smart, but

01:00:00.320 also supporting

01:00:01.140 DEI?

01:00:03.000 Well, I'm

01:00:04.140 guessing that

01:00:04.700 for social

01:00:05.320 reasons and

01:00:06.100 maybe business

01:00:06.780 reasons, it

01:00:07.460 might be a

01:00:07.820 good decision,

01:00:08.540 because remember,

01:00:09.280 he's very

01:00:09.640 smart, but

01:00:11.220 times they are

01:00:13.300 a-changing,

01:00:14.420 and if I

01:00:15.460 had to guess,

01:00:16.920 the one thing

01:00:17.660 that Musk

01:00:18.580 might be

01:00:19.240 trying to

01:00:19.700 accomplish,

01:00:20.600 since Jamie

01:00:21.500 Diamond seems

01:00:22.200 to be largely

01:00:22.980 in favor of

01:00:24.940 some of

01:00:25.280 Trump's policies,

01:00:26.220 such as the

01:00:26.780 border, such

01:00:27.620 as maybe

01:00:28.540 cutting costs,

01:00:29.660 et cetera, but

01:00:31.380 wouldn't it be

01:00:32.060 good to get

01:00:34.020 all the smart

01:00:34.760 people on one

01:00:35.460 side, the

01:00:36.980 people that we

01:00:37.540 all look at in

01:00:38.180 the public and

01:00:38.700 say, okay,

01:00:39.200 that's a smart

01:00:39.840 one, that's a

01:00:40.420 smart one, that's

01:00:41.920 not so smart,

01:00:43.200 but when Jamie

01:00:44.400 Diamond comes on,

01:00:45.500 everybody says,

01:00:46.440 okay, smart guy

01:00:47.260 talking, we

01:00:48.100 better listen

01:00:48.540 to this, that's

01:00:49.200 what I say, I

01:00:50.260 say, smart guy

01:00:50.940 talking, and I

01:00:51.700 just stop what

01:00:52.220 I'm doing, because

01:00:53.440 you don't often

01:00:54.100 get to hear from

01:00:54.780 somebody that

01:00:55.260 smart, so if

01:00:58.060 Musk can, I

01:01:00.100 don't want to

01:01:00.440 say persuade, but

01:01:02.320 maybe show

01:01:03.420 Jamie Diamond

01:01:04.540 a context that

01:01:06.380 would allow him

01:01:06.880 to change his

01:01:07.500 own mind, that

01:01:08.820 could be really

01:01:09.280 good, now I

01:01:10.300 have no idea

01:01:10.800 that that would

01:01:11.860 be even a

01:01:12.340 topic at their

01:01:13.080 meeting, they

01:01:13.560 may have

01:01:13.900 completely other

01:01:14.560 business that

01:01:15.200 they're trying

01:01:16.020 to do, it

01:01:16.500 might be

01:01:16.820 economics,

01:01:17.760 something else,

01:01:18.740 but that's

01:01:20.140 what I want, I

01:01:22.460 want to make

01:01:23.780 sure that the

01:01:24.600 smartest people

01:01:25.420 are solidly

01:01:27.020 against DEI.

01:01:27.920 all right, here's

01:01:32.600 more of the

01:01:33.020 Musk effect,

01:01:33.860 remember that

01:01:34.520 Delaware is

01:01:36.980 where a lot of

01:01:38.060 big companies

01:01:38.560 incorporate, and

01:01:40.340 then if Delaware

01:01:41.020 doesn't like you,

01:01:42.120 like they had a

01:01:42.740 problem with

01:01:43.440 Elon Musk and

01:01:45.900 his companies,

01:01:46.620 they went after

01:01:47.540 him, they went

01:01:47.960 after his pay

01:01:48.520 package, so Elon

01:01:50.520 moved to Texas

01:01:52.380 as his home

01:01:53.780 country.

01:01:54.120 Delaware doesn't

01:01:55.380 have a lot of

01:01:55.860 things going for

01:01:56.660 it, but one of

01:01:57.720 the few things

01:01:58.240 it does is that

01:01:59.700 it's the place

01:02:00.400 people like to

01:02:01.040 register their

01:02:01.660 corporation, so

01:02:03.100 that's presumably a

01:02:04.580 lot of businesses

01:02:05.200 get sent their

01:02:05.860 way, and Bill

01:02:07.160 Ackman just said

01:02:08.180 to hell with

01:02:09.500 Delaware, and he's

01:02:10.560 moving his

01:02:11.040 corporation to

01:02:11.860 Nevada.

01:02:12.860 I don't know how

01:02:13.640 many more people

01:02:14.580 will do it, but

01:02:16.000 already the

01:02:16.780 governor of

01:02:17.400 Delaware said,

01:02:18.540 we need to

01:02:19.720 fix this.

01:02:20.420 So the

01:02:22.840 governor of

01:02:23.360 Delaware is

01:02:23.940 saying, something

01:02:25.120 is broken on

01:02:25.860 our end, we

01:02:26.520 need to fix

01:02:27.000 this.

01:02:28.020 Yes, yes,

01:02:30.580 absolutely.

01:02:32.340 This is one of

01:02:33.120 those cases where

01:02:33.920 you want to say,

01:02:35.160 why didn't you do

01:02:35.700 it already, you

01:02:36.740 know, why did you

01:02:37.140 wait so long, but

01:02:38.620 I always warn you,

01:02:39.680 don't do that.

01:02:41.540 If he's on

01:02:42.380 board today, good,

01:02:44.880 he's on board,

01:02:45.940 let's get

01:02:46.480 something done.

01:02:47.860 So maybe,

01:02:49.560 okay, maybe

01:02:51.240 Delaware will

01:02:51.880 shape up.

01:02:53.860 There's a,

01:02:54.720 God, the

01:02:56.180 Overton window

01:02:57.200 is working so

01:02:58.780 hard right now

01:02:59.580 that you just

01:03:00.640 can't even focus

01:03:01.440 on anything.

01:03:02.340 And I think the

01:03:03.280 Democrats are

01:03:03.860 having trouble

01:03:04.420 finding a way to

01:03:06.060 attack Musk and

01:03:07.480 Trump because

01:03:08.220 they're moving so

01:03:08.900 fast.

01:03:10.080 They don't have

01:03:10.660 anything they can

01:03:11.240 focus on for a

01:03:12.140 few days and

01:03:12.700 really drive some

01:03:13.500 message through.

01:03:14.460 They got to deal

01:03:15.040 with a brand new

01:03:15.680 thing that's coming,

01:03:16.820 you know, like

01:03:17.200 rocket fire.

01:03:18.400 And one of

01:03:19.700 the new things

01:03:20.200 is Musk wants

01:03:21.040 to end property

01:03:21.760 tax.

01:03:22.940 Now, I

01:03:23.680 understand that

01:03:24.400 because I pay

01:03:25.040 a lot of it.

01:03:27.120 And if you pay

01:03:28.100 property tax, you

01:03:29.020 don't really own

01:03:29.700 your home.

01:03:30.900 It's basically the

01:03:31.980 government stealing

01:03:32.720 your house because

01:03:34.000 if you don't pay

01:03:34.620 them, as if it's a

01:03:36.160 lease to your

01:03:36.640 house, except they

01:03:37.720 call it property

01:03:38.300 tax, if you don't

01:03:39.460 pay them, you

01:03:39.940 don't get to live

01:03:40.520 in your house.

01:03:41.680 So you don't

01:03:42.320 really own the

01:03:42.960 house if you're

01:03:44.320 paying property

01:03:44.820 tax, and that's a

01:03:46.120 good argument.

01:03:47.780 But what would

01:03:49.500 happen to

01:03:49.960 California?

01:03:51.900 My taxes in

01:03:53.020 California are

01:03:53.680 already over 13%,

01:03:55.360 state taxes, 13%.

01:03:57.840 If they got rid

01:03:59.640 of property tax,

01:04:02.420 do you know how

01:04:02.880 much income tax I

01:04:04.120 would have to pay?

01:04:06.580 Probably, I don't

01:04:08.360 know, I haven't

01:04:08.820 done the math, but

01:04:09.660 it would be like

01:04:10.240 25% state tax

01:04:13.460 added to my

01:04:14.420 added to my

01:04:16.880 federal tax.

01:04:18.560 You know, would

01:04:19.100 I be paying

01:04:19.580 something like 65%

01:04:21.000 or 70% of every

01:04:22.120 dollar I earn to

01:04:23.080 the government,

01:04:24.020 state or federal?

01:04:26.260 I don't know that

01:04:27.380 there's any practical

01:04:28.220 way to get from

01:04:29.000 here to no tax

01:04:31.160 on property, but

01:04:33.540 there might be.

01:04:34.700 I mean, I would

01:04:35.180 have said a lot of

01:04:35.740 things were

01:04:36.140 impossible before

01:04:37.080 they did them.

01:04:38.920 So even if it's

01:04:41.400 not possible, I

01:04:44.420 John, you're

01:04:46.840 such a turd.

01:04:48.960 Listen to this

01:04:49.880 useless troll

01:04:51.420 comment.

01:04:53.100 Oh, now Scott's

01:04:54.400 an expert on

01:04:55.100 construction.

01:04:56.540 Is this your

01:04:57.380 first time ever

01:04:58.220 watching a podcast?

01:04:59.980 First day on the

01:05:00.920 internet where

01:05:02.580 everybody talks

01:05:03.440 about the topics

01:05:04.280 that are in the

01:05:04.780 news without being

01:05:06.220 experts?

01:05:08.520 You know that's

01:05:09.640 what everyone's

01:05:10.880 doing, right?

01:05:11.440 That's such a

01:05:14.480 dumb comment.

01:05:15.900 That's like

01:05:16.300 extra dumb.

01:05:18.700 I love it when

01:05:19.500 my critics are

01:05:20.160 extra dumb.

01:05:21.460 It just makes me

01:05:22.260 feel good.

01:05:24.540 I don't like

01:05:25.540 having smart

01:05:26.200 critics that

01:05:27.740 bothers me because

01:05:28.660 then I have to

01:05:29.100 examine what I'm

01:05:29.820 doing.

01:05:30.500 It's like, oh,

01:05:31.160 damn it.

01:05:31.880 Why did a smart

01:05:32.680 person say I did

01:05:33.500 something wrong?

01:05:34.240 I better look into

01:05:35.000 this.

01:05:35.600 But when dumb

01:05:36.240 people like that

01:05:37.940 comment, oh,

01:05:39.180 Scott's an expert

01:05:39.900 on construction.

01:05:41.440 Let's talk

01:05:42.100 about Delaware.

01:05:45.500 Oh, Scott's an

01:05:46.520 expert on Delaware

01:05:47.320 suddenly.

01:05:47.980 Suddenly he knows

01:05:48.600 everything about

01:05:49.120 Delaware.

01:05:50.820 So dumb.

01:05:52.940 All right.

01:05:56.360 Apparently there's

01:05:57.920 a lawsuit that

01:05:59.200 X is running

01:05:59.880 against some of

01:06:01.460 the major brands

01:06:02.320 that allegedly

01:06:03.280 colluded with

01:06:05.240 each other to

01:06:05.880 put X on a

01:06:06.560 business by not

01:06:07.340 advertising on the

01:06:08.160 platform.

01:06:08.480 and some

01:06:11.500 new big

01:06:12.120 companies have

01:06:12.660 been added to

01:06:13.300 that.

01:06:14.920 I kind of

01:06:15.620 wonder where

01:06:15.980 that's going

01:06:16.500 because there

01:06:17.960 does seem to

01:06:18.540 be a legitimate

01:06:19.180 claim that

01:06:20.580 there was some

01:06:21.120 illegal collusion

01:06:22.220 to put X on

01:06:24.040 a business.

01:06:25.920 Do you think

01:06:26.620 that'll work?

01:06:28.560 Do you think

01:06:29.180 it'll bring back

01:06:29.760 the advertisers

01:06:30.460 or get them

01:06:31.960 some big award?

01:06:33.760 I don't know.

01:06:34.940 I like that he's

01:06:36.000 being aggressive

01:06:36.600 about it.

01:06:37.460 When I found

01:06:38.280 out my friend

01:06:38.940 got a great deal

01:06:39.880 on a wool coat

01:06:40.640 from Winners,

01:06:41.480 I started

01:06:42.260 wondering,

01:06:43.160 is every fabulous

01:06:44.500 item I see

01:06:45.200 from Winners?

01:06:46.280 Like that woman 1.00

01:06:47.060 over there with

01:06:47.740 the designer jeans.

01:06:48.980 Are those from 0.99

01:06:49.820 Winners?

01:06:50.520 Ooh, or those

01:06:51.480 beautiful gold

01:06:52.100 earrings?

01:06:52.960 Did she pay full 0.96

01:06:53.560 price?

01:06:54.320 Or that leather

01:06:54.800 tote?

01:06:55.340 Or that cashmere

01:06:55.940 sweater?

01:06:56.520 Or those knee-high

01:06:57.180 boots?

01:06:58.020 That dress?

01:06:58.800 That jacket?

01:06:59.460 Those shoes?

01:07:00.500 Is anyone paying

01:07:01.680 full price for

01:07:02.460 anything?

01:07:03.440 Stop wondering.

01:07:04.720 Start winning.

01:07:05.260 Winners find

01:07:06.460 fabulous for

01:07:07.260 less.

01:07:08.720 In other news,

01:07:10.440 according to

01:07:11.300 interesting engineering,

01:07:13.080 there's some

01:07:13.620 U.S. scientists

01:07:15.840 who are trying

01:07:17.380 to harvest

01:07:18.020 the mineral

01:07:18.880 nickel

01:07:19.320 from plants.

01:07:21.600 So apparently

01:07:22.020 there's some

01:07:22.480 special kind of

01:07:23.180 plants,

01:07:24.480 and I guess

01:07:25.140 you can tweak

01:07:25.980 them a little bit,

01:07:27.120 and the plants

01:07:28.040 will create

01:07:28.620 nickel.

01:07:29.580 You just

01:07:29.960 harvest the

01:07:30.520 plants,

01:07:31.540 and then instead

01:07:32.240 of mining for

01:07:33.060 nickel,

01:07:34.000 because mining

01:07:34.580 is destructive

01:07:35.560 to the

01:07:35.920 atmosphere,

01:07:36.640 and the

01:07:37.660 land,

01:07:38.120 etc.

01:07:38.520 You could

01:07:39.120 just grow

01:07:39.660 plants and

01:07:40.500 get your

01:07:40.840 nickels.

01:07:41.880 Now,

01:07:42.360 I'm wondering,

01:07:44.000 maybe I should

01:07:44.640 become a

01:07:45.060 nickel farmer.

01:07:46.720 I mean,

01:07:47.060 I wish I had

01:07:47.680 a nickel for

01:07:48.240 every plant

01:07:48.780 I've grown,

01:07:49.620 but I could.

01:07:50.900 Maybe you could

01:07:51.440 have a nickel

01:07:51.860 for every plant

01:07:52.540 you grow.

01:07:53.320 You'd have to

01:07:53.920 sell the

01:07:54.260 nickels.

01:07:55.720 You'd probably

01:07:56.240 need some

01:07:56.640 kind of a

01:07:57.240 fabrication

01:07:57.660 plant to

01:07:58.520 turn all the

01:08:00.160 plants into

01:08:00.820 just minerals

01:08:01.560 of nickel,

01:08:02.240 but that's

01:08:03.020 kind of cool.

01:08:03.440 There's also,

01:08:05.120 according to

01:08:05.580 live science,

01:08:06.240 there's new

01:08:06.600 fabric that

01:08:07.980 can heat up

01:08:08.580 almost 50

01:08:09.300 degrees just

01:08:10.080 by having the

01:08:10.740 light hit it,

01:08:11.900 the sunlight.

01:08:13.080 So you can

01:08:13.820 keep people

01:08:14.300 warm enough

01:08:14.880 to stay

01:08:15.460 alive in

01:08:16.040 ultra-cold

01:08:16.860 weather.

01:08:17.840 It's a

01:08:18.500 smart fabric.

01:08:20.820 After just

01:08:21.520 10 minutes in

01:08:22.120 the sun,

01:08:22.500 it heats up

01:08:22.960 like crazy.

01:08:23.580 So they

01:08:23.820 figured out

01:08:24.220 how to

01:08:24.460 make the

01:08:26.100 fabric be

01:08:27.880 extra,

01:08:28.540 extra absorby

01:08:29.640 of light.

01:08:31.860 That's cool.

01:08:32.980 And it

01:08:33.380 made me

01:08:33.660 think if

01:08:34.020 there are

01:08:34.240 other uses

01:08:34.740 for it.

01:08:36.580 But you'd

01:08:37.100 have to be

01:08:37.420 able to

01:08:37.680 turn it

01:08:38.020 on and

01:08:38.340 off.

01:08:38.960 See,

01:08:39.120 the problem

01:08:39.440 is if

01:08:41.380 you made

01:08:41.800 your building

01:08:42.640 with that

01:08:43.500 material,

01:08:44.500 it would

01:08:45.120 keep it

01:08:45.460 warmer,

01:08:45.960 but in

01:08:46.240 the summer

01:08:46.560 it would

01:08:46.800 keep it

01:08:47.060 too warm.

01:08:48.100 And I

01:08:48.280 was thinking,

01:08:48.880 is there

01:08:49.020 any way

01:08:49.260 you could

01:08:49.480 weave this

01:08:50.060 into roads

01:08:50.940 so that

01:08:52.540 a little

01:08:52.940 bit of

01:08:53.300 sunlight

01:08:53.740 would melt

01:08:54.680 the snow

01:08:57.320 that's on

01:08:57.700 the road?

01:08:58.000 I wonder

01:08:59.960 if that

01:09:00.220 would work.

01:09:00.660 So it

01:09:00.840 makes me

01:09:01.100 wonder what

01:09:01.460 else you

01:09:01.760 could do

01:09:02.000 with it.

01:09:03.180 But you

01:09:03.640 probably need

01:09:04.020 to be able

01:09:04.300 to turn

01:09:04.600 it on

01:09:04.940 and off

01:09:05.280 for most

01:09:05.700 purposes.

01:09:07.300 Meanwhile,

01:09:07.900 a UK

01:09:08.280 team,

01:09:09.440 according to

01:09:09.860 the Guardian,

01:09:10.480 figured out

01:09:10.840 a way to

01:09:11.520 avoid cracks

01:09:13.320 in your

01:09:13.640 road and

01:09:14.080 potholes.

01:09:15.520 They've

01:09:15.920 invented a

01:09:16.520 self-healing

01:09:17.320 road.

01:09:18.240 They use

01:09:18.820 tiny plant

01:09:19.420 spores

01:09:19.880 mixed into

01:09:21.080 the bitumen

01:09:21.520 and it

01:09:23.080 increases your

01:09:23.800 road life

01:09:24.260 for 30%.

01:09:25.280 Isn't that

01:09:25.720 fascinating?

01:09:26.480 Yeah.

01:09:26.680 your road

01:09:27.840 is going

01:09:28.100 to heal

01:09:28.440 itself.

01:09:29.840 All right.

01:09:30.740 So there's

01:09:31.740 the big

01:09:32.440 picture.

01:09:33.200 Doge is

01:09:33.880 just killing

01:09:34.720 it.

01:09:35.860 And I

01:09:37.880 hear the

01:09:38.480 fires in

01:09:39.640 LA are now

01:09:40.340 controlled.

01:09:41.540 So the

01:09:42.000 big fires in

01:09:43.560 LA are now

01:09:44.220 100%

01:09:44.880 controlled.

01:09:47.980 Maybe.

01:09:51.720 What's this

01:09:52.440 about AOC?

01:09:53.220 AOC?

01:09:53.340 case in

01:09:59.160 point.

01:10:01.280 AOC is a

01:10:02.260 stooge of

01:10:02.800 USAID.

01:10:04.180 So the

01:10:05.700 claim is

01:10:06.480 that AOC

01:10:08.440 was getting

01:10:09.280 some kind of

01:10:09.860 benefit from

01:10:10.540 USAID.

01:10:11.540 Maybe Bernie

01:10:12.040 was too.

01:10:12.880 But basically

01:10:13.540 all the people

01:10:14.280 who are

01:10:14.680 complaining the

01:10:15.400 loudest,

01:10:17.180 there's a

01:10:17.720 reason.

01:10:18.780 There's a

01:10:19.220 reason.

01:10:19.440 All right.

01:10:22.100 Now, the

01:10:22.780 thing I don't

01:10:23.280 understand about

01:10:24.040 Doge is the

01:10:25.460 numbers don't

01:10:26.080 add up in

01:10:26.580 my head.

01:10:28.040 So if you

01:10:28.920 got rid of

01:10:29.560 USAID and

01:10:30.760 all the other

01:10:31.360 things they're

01:10:31.740 talking about

01:10:32.220 getting rid

01:10:32.600 of, I think

01:10:33.820 the Department

01:10:34.400 of Education

01:10:35.000 is coming

01:10:35.460 up.

01:10:35.680 what's this?

01:10:39.620 So Mike

01:10:40.080 Ben says,

01:10:40.760 case in

01:10:41.120 point,

01:10:41.500 AOC

01:10:41.800 promoting

01:10:42.480 USAID

01:10:43.200 all over

01:10:43.720 X today

01:10:44.380 actually came

01:10:45.800 from a

01:10:46.160 USAID

01:10:46.660 program in

01:10:47.360 college to

01:10:48.820 jumpstart

01:10:49.580 her miracle

01:10:50.460 career.

01:10:52.500 Oh,

01:10:53.640 Benz,

01:10:55.220 you've got

01:10:55.600 all the

01:10:56.060 receipts.

01:10:57.980 You've got

01:10:58.620 all the

01:10:59.080 receipts.

01:10:59.980 So remember

01:11:00.460 I told you

01:11:01.000 during the

01:11:01.480 show that

01:11:02.960 the people

01:11:03.380 who complained

01:11:03.900 the most are

01:11:04.700 the ones who

01:11:05.120 have some

01:11:05.640 dark connection

01:11:07.320 to it.

01:11:08.460 And it

01:11:08.680 turns out

01:11:09.200 that most

01:11:10.200 of you know

01:11:10.620 AOC was

01:11:11.260 a, let's

01:11:12.720 say, an

01:11:13.020 artificially

01:11:13.600 generated

01:11:14.180 politician,

01:11:15.380 meaning that

01:11:16.200 there was a

01:11:16.520 whole process

01:11:17.240 where she

01:11:17.720 was called

01:11:18.840 from lots

01:11:19.420 of applicants

01:11:19.960 and then

01:11:20.560 trained to

01:11:21.940 be who

01:11:22.460 she is.

01:11:23.260 Apparently

01:11:23.660 the funding

01:11:24.180 for that

01:11:24.540 came through

01:11:25.000 USAID,

01:11:26.040 just like the

01:11:26.700 funding for

01:11:27.180 everything else

01:11:27.780 you don't

01:11:28.100 like.

01:11:29.220 Do you

01:11:29.460 think there

01:11:29.740 were any

01:11:30.220 Republicans?

01:11:31.700 Do you

01:11:31.860 think any

01:11:32.200 Republicans

01:11:32.660 were picked

01:11:33.160 through USAID?

01:11:35.120 How many

01:11:35.680 Republicans

01:11:36.160 do you

01:11:36.460 think are

01:11:36.720 involved in

01:11:37.220 USAID at

01:11:37.760 all?

01:11:38.880 Almost none.

01:11:40.180 It's almost

01:11:40.640 entirely a

01:11:41.340 Democrat

01:11:41.700 structure.

01:11:46.340 Well, that

01:11:46.980 was perfect.

01:11:47.800 Good timing

01:11:48.240 on that.

01:11:49.260 Good work

01:11:49.620 on the

01:11:49.900 comments.

01:11:54.100 Yeah,

01:11:54.760 Bill

01:11:54.960 Kristol,

01:11:56.020 Bill Kristol

01:11:57.180 also complained

01:11:58.240 and turns out

01:11:59.780 he's got some

01:12:00.340 connection.

01:12:01.520 He's ahead

01:12:02.100 of something

01:12:03.740 that's being

01:12:04.200 funded by

01:12:04.760 USAID.

01:12:05.840 I'm thinking

01:12:06.140 why would

01:12:07.760 he get

01:12:09.140 any funding

01:12:10.000 or be

01:12:11.220 involved in

01:12:11.800 it anyway?

01:12:15.180 There's a

01:12:15.540 California

01:12:16.040 refinery.

01:12:19.460 I don't

01:12:20.060 know about

01:12:20.380 that.

01:12:20.660 All right.

01:12:30.780 So I

01:12:32.000 think we

01:12:32.360 figured out

01:12:32.940 everything

01:12:33.300 that's wrong

01:12:33.800 with the

01:12:34.040 government.

01:12:34.600 We found

01:12:34.880 the beating

01:12:35.540 heart of

01:12:36.240 the deep

01:12:36.860 state and

01:12:38.080 Doge is in

01:12:38.780 the process

01:12:39.280 of driving

01:12:39.820 a stake

01:12:40.280 right through

01:12:40.700 it.

01:12:41.320 But as I

01:12:41.880 was saying,

01:12:42.260 here's the

01:12:42.540 part I don't

01:12:42.940 get about

01:12:43.420 the numbers.

01:12:45.020 We're trying

01:12:45.480 to cut

01:12:46.020 one or

01:12:47.480 two trillion

01:12:48.140 dollars out

01:12:48.660 of the

01:12:48.820 budget.

01:12:50.040 Musk says

01:12:50.760 one would

01:12:51.220 be enough.

01:12:52.900 But because

01:12:53.900 we could

01:12:54.200 grow our

01:12:54.600 way out of

01:12:55.000 the rest

01:12:55.320 if we

01:12:55.620 stopped

01:12:55.860 spending.

01:12:56.880 I don't

01:12:57.300 know that

01:12:57.580 we're going

01:12:57.840 to stop

01:12:58.100 spending.

01:12:58.620 That seems

01:12:58.920 ridiculous,

01:12:59.580 but okay.

01:13:01.740 I don't

01:13:02.360 know how

01:13:02.780 you can

01:13:03.180 take a

01:13:03.620 small part

01:13:04.340 of the

01:13:04.560 budget,

01:13:05.660 which is

01:13:06.500 the discretionary

01:13:07.500 stuff where

01:13:08.260 USAID would

01:13:09.140 be.

01:13:09.680 If you got

01:13:10.420 rid of all

01:13:10.940 of it,

01:13:12.320 it wouldn't

01:13:12.680 be enough,

01:13:13.260 would it?

01:13:14.380 So I don't

01:13:15.140 understand how

01:13:15.900 working with

01:13:16.660 the part

01:13:17.820 of the

01:13:18.200 national

01:13:18.760 budget that

01:13:20.280 isn't possibly

01:13:21.120 enough can

01:13:22.820 get you

01:13:23.300 100% of

01:13:24.080 what you

01:13:24.340 need.

01:13:25.100 So there's

01:13:25.640 something wrong

01:13:26.340 with what

01:13:27.440 we understand

01:13:28.140 about it.

01:13:30.340 I don't

01:13:31.060 see any

01:13:31.700 path for

01:13:32.460 Doge to

01:13:33.000 get to

01:13:33.420 paying off

01:13:33.960 a trillion

01:13:34.300 dollars.

01:13:36.080 I have

01:13:36.980 no idea

01:13:37.540 why they're

01:13:39.220 optimistic,

01:13:40.500 but they

01:13:41.160 are.

01:13:42.060 And so I'm

01:13:42.600 going to go

01:13:42.940 with the

01:13:43.180 optimism under

01:13:43.980 the assumption

01:13:44.540 that they

01:13:45.540 know something

01:13:46.060 I don't.

01:13:47.720 And then I

01:13:48.260 hear the

01:13:48.520 number of

01:13:48.880 something like

01:13:49.460 they're saving

01:13:50.440 a billion

01:13:50.860 dollars a

01:13:51.440 day.

01:13:53.740 Well, does

01:13:54.400 that mean

01:13:54.820 365 billion

01:13:56.380 they've already

01:13:56.880 found in

01:13:57.840 annual expenditures?

01:14:00.000 Or is the

01:14:00.840 billion what

01:14:02.140 they saved

01:14:02.640 over 10

01:14:03.140 years?

01:14:04.660 See, if you

01:14:05.380 don't know

01:14:05.800 that, you

01:14:06.260 don't really

01:14:06.760 know what's

01:14:07.160 going on,

01:14:07.680 and I don't

01:14:08.120 know that.

01:14:09.560 So, I'm

01:14:11.580 skeptical that

01:14:13.560 the big

01:14:14.100 numbers can

01:14:14.660 be hit.

01:14:15.480 I'm not

01:14:16.100 skeptical on

01:14:17.900 whether they're

01:14:18.400 finding good

01:14:19.020 things to get

01:14:19.600 rid of that

01:14:20.380 the world is

01:14:20.900 better without.

01:14:22.160 And I think

01:14:22.780 that's happening

01:14:23.760 for sure.

01:14:24.660 So I think

01:14:25.040 the government

01:14:25.480 will be more

01:14:26.120 efficient and

01:14:27.080 more responsive

01:14:27.740 when we're

01:14:28.240 done.

01:14:28.800 There will be

01:14:29.080 some bumps,

01:14:29.720 of course.

01:14:33.620 National

01:14:34.060 STEM Award.

01:14:34.880 Savings

01:14:40.420 actually

01:14:40.760 double-fold

01:14:41.460 because the

01:14:42.000 offset in

01:14:42.640 interest payments.

01:14:45.100 Well,

01:14:46.240 ideally,

01:14:47.640 yeah, you

01:14:48.240 get double

01:14:48.800 because you

01:14:49.380 offset in

01:14:49.920 interest payments.

01:14:51.420 But I

01:14:53.220 still don't

01:14:53.600 think that's

01:14:54.000 enough.

01:14:55.260 So I

01:14:55.800 guess I'm

01:14:56.960 skeptical on

01:14:57.740 the numbers,

01:14:58.560 but I love

01:14:59.600 everything they're

01:15:00.140 doing so far.

01:15:01.540 So I'll

01:15:02.080 remain optimistic.

01:15:02.920 Okay.

01:15:04.880 What's

01:15:06.420 happening?

01:15:07.620 There's a

01:15:08.180 Mexico deal.

01:15:09.620 Oh, my God.

01:15:10.400 There's news

01:15:10.940 breaking right

01:15:11.560 now.

01:15:12.040 So this is

01:15:12.760 Trump announcing.

01:15:13.740 I haven't read

01:15:14.220 this yet, but

01:15:15.140 Trump is

01:15:15.600 announcing.

01:15:16.480 I just

01:15:16.900 spoke with

01:15:17.440 President

01:15:17.800 Claudia

01:15:18.320 Scheinbaum

01:15:18.920 of Mexico.

01:15:20.780 Here it

01:15:21.340 comes.

01:15:22.000 It was a

01:15:22.440 very friendly

01:15:22.980 conversation

01:15:23.660 wherein she

01:15:24.180 agreed to

01:15:24.620 immediately

01:15:25.060 supply 10,000

01:15:26.400 Mexican

01:15:26.840 soldiers on

01:15:27.540 the border

01:15:27.960 separating

01:15:29.020 Mexico and

01:15:29.700 the United

01:15:29.960 States.

01:15:30.880 These soldiers

01:15:31.480 will be

01:15:31.900 specifically

01:15:32.460 designated to

01:15:33.340 stop the

01:15:33.760 flow of

01:15:34.160 fentanyl.

01:15:34.880 And the

01:15:36.420 illegal migration

01:15:37.320 into our

01:15:37.720 country.

01:15:38.340 We further

01:15:39.000 agreed to

01:15:39.560 immediately

01:15:39.980 pause the

01:15:40.680 anticipated

01:15:41.240 tariffs for

01:15:43.340 a one-month

01:15:43.860 period, during

01:15:45.100 which we will

01:15:45.620 have negotiations

01:15:46.440 headed by

01:15:47.060 Marco Rubio and

01:15:49.400 Scott Besant of

01:15:50.600 Treasury and

01:15:52.200 Howard Lutnick,

01:15:53.460 Secretary of

01:15:53.920 Commerce, and

01:15:54.860 high-level

01:15:55.280 representatives of

01:15:56.040 Mexico.

01:15:57.000 I look forward to

01:15:57.860 the participation,

01:15:58.960 blah, blah, blah,

01:15:59.420 as we

01:16:00.500 attempt to see...

01:16:01.420 Oh, my God.

01:16:03.860 That's pretty

01:16:05.060 much everything

01:16:05.680 you wanted,

01:16:06.240 wasn't it?

01:16:10.100 I think that's

01:16:12.040 everything you

01:16:12.540 wanted.

01:16:15.140 For those

01:16:15.960 asking if I'm

01:16:16.720 still left of

01:16:17.480 Bernie, ask a

01:16:20.340 better question.

01:16:22.700 So asking

01:16:23.860 your little

01:16:24.260 gotcha

01:16:24.640 questions, I

01:16:26.320 just am not

01:16:26.820 interested.

01:16:27.180 Oh, you

01:16:29.060 once said

01:16:29.580 this, how

01:16:30.500 does that

01:16:30.860 line up with

01:16:31.400 the new

01:16:31.680 thing you

01:16:32.020 just said?

01:16:33.360 I don't

01:16:33.720 care.

01:16:35.940 Nobody

01:16:36.420 cares.

01:16:37.040 That's a

01:16:37.320 gotcha

01:16:37.560 question.

01:16:40.260 So, yeah,

01:16:41.200 looks like

01:16:41.740 Trump's making

01:16:42.800 progress in

01:16:43.540 every country

01:16:44.640 that he's

01:16:45.080 dealing with.

01:16:48.060 Yeah, and

01:16:48.800 Mexico didn't 0.98

01:16:50.180 have to turn

01:16:50.700 off their

01:16:51.080 own internet

01:16:52.400 connections to

01:16:53.180 get it.

01:16:54.780 Maybe they

01:16:55.460 should listen.

01:16:55.980 you know, if

01:16:57.580 the only

01:16:58.200 thing that

01:16:58.640 Canada did 0.89

01:16:59.440 was the

01:17:00.820 same thing

01:17:01.200 that Mexico

01:17:01.720 and China

01:17:02.200 did, Canada

01:17:03.820 would be

01:17:04.300 probably in

01:17:04.860 good shape.

01:17:07.400 Who is

01:17:08.180 their

01:17:09.280 conservative

01:17:09.840 candidate,

01:17:10.700 Pierre, how

01:17:13.080 do you

01:17:13.220 pronounce his

01:17:13.660 last name?

01:17:15.920 Pull of

01:17:18.000 Air?

01:17:19.240 What's the

01:17:19.840 name of the

01:17:20.180 conservative

01:17:20.620 guy in

01:17:21.800 Canada?

01:17:23.080 He's not

01:17:23.760 in power, but

01:17:24.360 he could be

01:17:24.780 someday.

01:17:25.980 All right,

01:17:27.020 you'll see it

01:17:27.460 in the

01:17:27.740 comments.

01:17:29.020 Pull of Air.

01:17:29.840 Pull of

01:17:30.240 How do you

01:17:31.760 pronounce it?

01:17:32.620 Pull of

01:17:33.160 Pull of

01:17:33.960 Pierre Pull

01:17:34.820 Eve?

01:17:35.680 Anyway, I

01:17:36.380 saw some

01:17:36.840 video of

01:17:37.300 him saying

01:17:38.420 that the

01:17:38.780 things that

01:17:39.320 Trump was

01:17:40.040 demanding,

01:17:40.720 this was

01:17:41.160 even before

01:17:41.820 Trump did

01:17:42.840 the tariff

01:17:43.280 stuff, that

01:17:44.800 even then he

01:17:45.820 was saying

01:17:46.180 the things

01:17:46.680 that Trump

01:17:47.320 is asking

01:17:47.780 for would

01:17:48.260 be good

01:17:48.580 for Canada

01:17:49.140 too.

01:17:49.980 We want

01:17:50.680 a stronger

01:17:51.800 border,

01:17:52.240 they want

01:17:52.600 a stronger

01:17:53.020 border.

01:17:53.400 We want

01:17:54.580 to stop

01:17:54.920 the

01:17:55.100 fentanyl,

01:17:55.840 they want

01:17:56.280 us to

01:17:56.540 stop the

01:17:56.940 fentanyl.

01:17:57.640 We want

01:17:58.420 to control

01:17:59.760 our immigration,

01:18:01.860 they want

01:18:02.440 us to control

01:18:03.020 our immigration.

01:18:04.300 So how

01:18:05.240 could we

01:18:05.520 not reach

01:18:06.040 a deal?

01:18:08.440 Which is a

01:18:09.240 pretty good

01:18:09.680 point.

01:18:11.500 Pretty good
