Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2745 CWSA 02⧸09⧸25

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

00:00:09.600 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:11.820 You could call this Super Bowl Sunday, too.

00:00:13.880 That's fine.

00:00:14.900 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with

00:00:19.160 their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice

00:00:23.320 or stine, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:26.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:27.820 I like coffee.

00:00:28.360 You can join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything

00:00:32.880 better.

00:00:33.320 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:37.760 Go.

00:00:42.740 Ah.

00:00:45.800 So good.

00:00:47.580 Well, after this show, Owen Gregorian will be doing his Spaces.

00:00:53.600 That's the audio-only feature of X.

00:00:56.880 So if you're on X, check out Owen Gregorian's Spaces right after the show, pretty soon

00:01:03.260 after the show.

00:01:05.740 Well, the Super Bowl is today.

00:01:07.440 How many of you are watching the Super Bowl?

00:01:09.200 How many of you couldn't care less about the Super Bowl?

00:01:13.720 How many of you are only going to watch the Super Bowl to see if Elon Musk really bought

00:01:18.800 $40 million worth of commercials to talk about Doge?

00:01:22.620 I don't know that that's confirmed.

00:01:25.040 I didn't see any reliable report on that.

00:01:28.100 So it'd be fun if he did, but I don't know that that's real.

00:01:32.080 I guess we'll find out.

00:01:34.940 Apparently, non-alcoholic beer is surging.

00:01:37.660 Did you know that?

00:01:38.900 It's going to be a big non-alcoholic beer commercial on the Super Bowl.

00:01:43.080 So I guess sales of non-alcoholic beer are up 26% in the last year.

00:01:50.880 Non-alcoholic beer is up 26% in one year, just this last year.

00:01:59.040 There's something happening.

00:02:01.420 Do any of you have an idea why this is happening?

00:02:04.340 Because it would seem to me that life is pointing in the direction of maybe you should drink more, not less.

00:02:12.480 You know, if you're all worried about the state of everything from climate change to politics to the deficit,

00:02:19.200 why would people be drinking less?

00:02:21.840 I mean, I'm happy that they are.

00:02:23.920 I think it's the whole alcohol is poison meme.

00:02:26.640 Maybe.

00:02:28.140 Meanwhile, one of the AI companies called Pika Labs,

00:02:32.040 they just introduced a new AI feature that blows my freaking mind.

00:02:39.560 And you're going to see so much of this.

00:02:41.720 They can now take you, a video of you,

00:02:45.520 and drop it into like a movie or an existing clip.

00:02:50.220 And the existing clip will interact with you.

00:02:53.820 So the example was somebody made a video of themselves

00:02:58.740 walking inside an AI environment that looked real

00:03:02.680 and actually high-fived an AI character.

00:03:07.580 Just turned around and high-five.

00:03:09.680 And so the AI actually makes the characters interact with you in the AI.

00:03:19.100 So you can high-five a character,

00:03:21.300 and the character knows what you're up to and high-fives you back.

00:03:26.540 What?

00:03:27.060 Now, if you haven't seen the demo of it,

00:03:30.380 it's just totally mind-blowing.

00:03:32.780 So how many times are you going to see somebody add themselves

00:03:35.900 to some existing video, like an old movie?

00:03:40.740 You're going to be so sick of that.

00:03:44.180 Remember when we were first able to, you know,

00:03:47.260 do an image of a public figure,

00:03:49.220 and we all had to do it like a hundred times.

00:03:51.620 But then once each of us did it a hundred times,

00:03:54.940 we didn't really need to do it a hundred and one times,

00:03:57.840 and we didn't really need to see any more of it.

00:04:01.420 So you can get tired of it pretty quickly,

00:04:03.500 but it's going to take a while.

00:04:06.840 Because if you can drop yourselves into,

00:04:08.940 you know, the Star Wars ship,

00:04:12.720 like you could actually be high-fiving the Wookiee, 0.90

00:04:15.460 and then send that, I mean, think about the meme.

00:04:21.780 I think you could just do things like,

00:04:24.440 all right, put me in the scene from Star Wars

00:04:26.440 where I'm in the Millennial Falcon,

00:04:29.860 is that what it's called?

00:04:31.080 And have me high-fiving a Wookiee. 1.00

00:04:33.900 And then it'll just appear.

00:04:35.260 Oh, my God.

00:04:37.860 Anyway, that's coming.

00:04:40.980 Coming at you fast.

00:04:43.240 Well, Trump did what only Trump can do.

00:04:47.040 He insulted the royal family,

00:04:49.420 but made it so funny that that's the only thing we remember.

00:04:54.420 So I guess he was asked,

00:04:56.060 Trump was asked on Friday

00:04:57.360 if he wants to deport Prince Harry.

00:05:02.500 And he said he's not interested in deporting Harry.

00:05:09.860 He says, I don't want to do that.

00:05:12.660 I'll leave him alone.

00:05:13.900 He's got enough problems with his wife.

00:05:15.880 She's terrible.

00:05:17.160 Oh, my God.

00:05:20.460 Could we have a more entertaining president?

00:05:23.660 I'm not going to deport him

00:05:25.000 because he's got enough problems with his wife.

00:05:27.720 She's terrible.

00:05:28.520 Now, if anyone else said that,

00:05:35.760 you can imagine it would be like an international incident.

00:05:38.820 When Trump says it,

00:05:40.540 I imagine like King Charles over there,

00:05:44.240 like I imagine him just reading it and laughing,

00:05:46.640 like, ho, ho, ho, ho.

00:05:50.680 How do you not laugh at that?

00:05:53.000 It's just beautiful.

00:05:53.800 Well, Senator Kennedy was talking about some,

00:06:01.300 I guess there's some issue about an island

00:06:03.780 in the middle of nowhere

00:06:05.180 that the United Nations wants the United States

00:06:09.240 and maybe Great Britain to hand over to somebody.

00:06:13.360 And so I don't even know the issue.

00:06:16.100 But Kennedy was talking to,

00:06:18.340 you know, talking publicly

00:06:19.420 and appealing to Prime Minister Starmer

00:06:22.900 over in the UK

00:06:24.340 and he says,

00:06:25.900 put down the bong.

00:06:28.620 He said it three times.

00:06:29.980 You got to put down the bong.

00:06:31.720 You know,

00:06:32.440 you know,

00:06:34.640 when Kennedy is such a good communicator,

00:06:37.180 that's why he always gets sound bites on TV

00:06:39.220 because he has a way with words.

00:06:40.980 But I always think like

00:06:42.280 he's talking to me personally.

00:06:44.340 Like that's the sign of a good communicator

00:06:46.620 is you think,

00:06:48.040 I think he's talking to me personally.

00:06:50.100 Well,

00:06:50.280 I've never felt it more strongly than then.

00:06:52.740 Let me tell you.

00:06:54.560 Anyway,

00:06:55.060 here's another thing that Trump did that's funny.

00:06:57.600 So,

00:06:58.100 you know,

00:06:58.280 he had this lawsuit against 60 Minutes.

00:07:01.000 Apparently,

00:07:01.500 it was for $10 billion.

00:07:03.900 $10 billion.

00:07:05.580 And it was for the edits they did

00:07:07.580 to the Kamala Harris interview on 60 Minutes.

00:07:09.700 And the thinking is that

00:07:12.380 they fixed her answers.

00:07:15.360 They tightened them up with edits

00:07:16.740 so that maybe she

00:07:18.520 would do better in the election.

00:07:20.860 So Trump is claiming

00:07:21.880 $10 billion of injury.

00:07:24.240 But here's what he did.

00:07:25.160 He just increased it to $20 billion

00:07:27.280 after they released the transcript.

00:07:30.500 Now,

00:07:31.000 here's why that's brilliant.

00:07:32.860 If the only thing you know

00:07:34.340 is that he doubled his ask

00:07:36.720 from $10 billion to $20 billion,

00:07:38.640 and the only thing that changed

00:07:40.560 is that we got to see

00:07:42.060 the full video and transcript

00:07:43.580 from 60 Minutes,

00:07:45.620 your automatic assumption is

00:07:47.920 that his case is stronger

00:07:50.460 because he's asking for twice as much now

00:07:52.800 and the evidence is now public

00:07:54.720 and we can all see it.

00:07:56.200 Now,

00:07:56.720 I would agree that the evidence was public

00:07:58.500 and we can all see it.

00:07:59.860 They definitely edited her answers 0.98

00:08:01.720 to make her look more coherent.

00:08:04.280 That definitely happened.

00:08:06.440 I'm not sure he's going to win the suit.

00:08:09.640 Because

00:08:10.160 it just wasn't that different

00:08:11.940 from the way the media edits anybody else.

00:08:14.860 So that would be their natural defense

00:08:16.640 is this is sort of what we do to everybody.

00:08:19.020 We make them look smarter

00:08:20.460 as long as we don't change the answer.

00:08:23.280 As long as it's the same answer,

00:08:26.260 you know,

00:08:26.560 an edit is generally considered ethical

00:08:28.720 or at least ethical enough

00:08:30.100 that the subject never likes it.

00:08:32.300 We like our entire quote

00:08:33.600 to be there all the time.

00:08:35.300 But I'm not going to complain too much.

00:08:38.900 Did you know that in written interviews,

00:08:42.020 it's not uncommon to put in quotes

00:08:44.480 and attribute to a public figure

00:08:46.840 such as myself

00:08:47.740 something we didn't say?

00:08:50.200 Did you know that's standard?

00:08:51.980 How many of you knew that?

00:08:53.680 That they actually put in quotes

00:08:55.520 like you really said this exact thing,

00:08:58.320 something you never said.

00:08:59.300 And they do it explicitly

00:09:01.740 because you didn't say

00:09:03.020 exactly what they wanted you to say.

00:09:05.700 So they say it themselves

00:09:06.960 and they attribute it to you.

00:09:08.680 Now you think I'm probably making that up.

00:09:10.760 Oh, but I've had it happen.

00:09:13.160 Yeah.

00:09:13.780 More than once.

00:09:15.080 It's actually a fairly common thing.

00:09:18.200 Now, if you were just a consumer of news,

00:09:21.380 would you know that?

00:09:23.080 Would you know that

00:09:24.000 it's not even unusual

00:09:25.520 for a major publication

00:09:27.500 to just make up a quote

00:09:28.880 and assign it to you?

00:09:30.500 Because they think it's a good...

00:09:32.160 Usually it's because they think

00:09:33.540 it's a good summary of what you said.

00:09:36.040 Something like that.

00:09:36.900 Maybe they'll take two quotes

00:09:38.180 and stick them together

00:09:39.040 because they sound good

00:09:39.880 if you put them together.

00:09:40.920 But they are made up.

00:09:42.720 If you didn't know that,

00:09:44.660 welcome to the real world.

00:09:47.380 Not every time they're made up.

00:09:48.860 Sometimes they're just out of context.

00:09:50.240 Anyway, here's a funny summary

00:09:56.000 by Adam Carolla

00:09:57.260 of how Biden and Harris

00:09:59.280 destroyed the Democratic Party.

00:10:01.640 Now, I've told you a number of times

00:10:03.280 there's nothing funnier

00:10:04.460 than a good summary

00:10:06.340 because sometimes the situation itself

00:10:09.640 is just funny.

00:10:11.240 But if you describe it

00:10:13.260 with too many words,

00:10:14.160 you can take the funny out of it.

00:10:16.220 If you describe it

00:10:17.680 with just enough words,

00:10:19.240 it's just barely enough words,

00:10:20.780 it's hilarious.

00:10:22.580 So Adam Carolla,

00:10:24.160 you know,

00:10:24.420 being one of the better communicators

00:10:25.960 in the world

00:10:26.480 and also professional humorist,

00:10:28.740 he gives you his summary

00:10:30.420 of what happened to the Democrats.

00:10:32.680 And I'd like to just read

00:10:33.620 the whole thing.

00:10:34.360 All right.

00:10:34.600 Adam Carolla.

00:10:36.540 Quote,

00:10:37.660 10 minutes ago,

00:10:38.560 you had Joe Biden

00:10:39.460 who doesn't give a shit 0.87

00:10:40.700 about black people

00:10:41.660 and or women. 0.99

00:10:42.800 The guy's never even met

00:10:44.060 his biological granddaughter

00:10:45.680 for fuck's sake.

00:10:46.940 You think he cares about women? 0.65

00:10:48.200 He doesn't give a shit

00:10:49.540 about black people or women.

00:10:51.180 He decided that he needed

00:10:52.440 a black female vice president,

00:10:54.460 then took someone

00:10:56.380 who was incompetent

00:10:57.340 and put her into that position. 0.72

00:10:59.200 And then when the old man

00:11:00.360 that you lied about

00:11:02.260 ended up having dementia,

00:11:04.160 he fell off.

00:11:05.260 And then you guys were stuck

00:11:06.440 with an incompetent black woman, 1.00

00:11:08.420 black woman, 0.99

00:11:09.600 and you couldn't get rid of her

00:11:10.860 because you can't get rid

00:11:11.880 of a woman of color

00:11:12.760 and replace him,

00:11:14.080 replace her 0.87

00:11:14.560 with a heterosexual white male.

00:11:15.960 So then she ran for president. 0.99

00:11:18.260 Nobody fucking liked her 1.00

00:11:19.300 and she lost the election.

00:11:20.820 So keep going, retards. 1.00

00:11:27.020 I think that summed up

00:11:28.380 the entire situation.

00:11:30.120 That's what I saw.

00:11:32.100 So you've heard

00:11:34.520 of malicious compliance.

00:11:37.160 You've heard of that?

00:11:38.300 It's when somebody,

00:11:39.380 you know,

00:11:39.860 gets a command

00:11:41.620 from their boss

00:11:42.520 or from the government,

00:11:43.340 says you must do this.

00:11:46.020 But they find a way

00:11:47.200 to do exactly that,

00:11:48.760 but only that,

00:11:50.840 which makes it not work.

00:11:52.700 In other words,

00:11:53.320 if they didn't use

00:11:54.080 their own judgment,

00:11:55.080 you could come up

00:11:56.200 with a bad solution.

00:11:58.720 So instead of using

00:11:59.580 their judgment,

00:12:00.180 they just follow the rules.

00:12:01.820 And if you just follow

00:12:02.980 the rules,

00:12:03.440 you can break anything.

00:12:05.800 So in a weird sense,

00:12:07.780 this is sort of

00:12:08.620 just a bad analogy,

00:12:09.880 what the Democrats did

00:12:11.260 was follow their own rules.

00:12:12.740 And their own rules are,

00:12:15.340 okay,

00:12:15.860 black woman higher 0.84

00:12:17.260 than black man,

00:12:18.760 black man higher 0.62

00:12:19.620 than white man.

00:12:23.680 So they've got

00:12:24.180 this whole hierarchy

00:12:25.000 of who's the most,

00:12:26.980 I don't know,

00:12:28.380 the most valuable person

00:12:29.640 in the world.

00:12:30.420 And then they rank them.

00:12:31.920 If they stick with that,

00:12:34.020 they were guaranteed

00:12:35.020 to paint themselves

00:12:35.960 into this exact corner

00:12:37.380 where they had to prefer

00:12:39.120 the least qualified person

00:12:40.740 who was possibly running

00:12:42.220 because to do otherwise

00:12:43.340 would be,

00:12:44.540 well, you know,

00:12:45.820 sort of racist.

00:12:48.600 So they created

00:12:49.920 a system

00:12:51.000 that guaranteed

00:12:52.100 their failure.

00:12:53.280 And then they sat in it

00:12:54.780 and ran that system

00:12:56.040 which guaranteed

00:12:57.180 their failure.

00:12:58.400 Guaranteed it.

00:12:59.540 You didn't know how,

00:13:01.340 like you didn't know

00:13:01.960 the specifics,

00:13:03.120 but you could guarantee

00:13:04.660 that if their main emphasis

00:13:07.000 was identity

00:13:07.940 over competence,

00:13:09.140 the system would collapse.

00:13:11.960 And you could guarantee

00:13:13.280 that if you told everybody

00:13:15.640 they get to complain

00:13:16.680 about the problems

00:13:17.600 with their identity group

00:13:18.980 and that that's

00:13:19.800 the most important thing

00:13:20.760 they should do,

00:13:22.200 that you would have

00:13:22.940 a group

00:13:23.900 that could never coordinate

00:13:25.340 well enough

00:13:26.700 to mount

00:13:27.700 an effective attack.

00:13:30.500 Now,

00:13:31.020 if they didn't have

00:13:31.680 the entire fake news

00:13:32.880 supporting them,

00:13:33.960 there wouldn't be

00:13:34.360 any Democrats.

00:13:35.060 The Democrat Party

00:13:36.740 requires

00:13:37.760 brainwashing.

00:13:41.460 If they had

00:13:42.480 good policies,

00:13:43.760 they wouldn't

00:13:45.000 require it.

00:13:46.120 Even today,

00:13:47.540 they're still

00:13:49.900 confused

00:13:50.460 because they think

00:13:51.400 they had good policies

00:13:52.540 and exactly

00:13:53.780 the right messaging

00:13:54.640 and they just

00:13:56.100 can't figure out

00:13:57.160 maybe there's just

00:13:58.180 so many racists,

00:13:59.180 I don't know

00:13:59.560 why we lost.

00:14:00.740 They still can't

00:14:01.760 figure it out.

00:14:03.600 Unbelievable.

00:14:05.060 Everybody knows

00:14:06.260 what they did wrong

00:14:07.140 except that

00:14:08.360 they're the only ones

00:14:09.880 who can't figure it out.

00:14:12.380 Well,

00:14:13.540 so a judge

00:14:15.780 blocked the

00:14:16.700 Doge

00:14:17.220 project

00:14:18.680 from access

00:14:19.880 to the

00:14:20.460 Treasury Department

00:14:21.940 systems

00:14:22.660 and why would

00:14:24.760 they do that?

00:14:25.440 Well,

00:14:26.640 it's because

00:14:28.140 they're not

00:14:30.160 civil servants.

00:14:31.820 The Doge people 0.99

00:14:32.720 are not civil servants

00:14:33.760 so the judge

00:14:35.000 is blocking them.

00:14:35.800 Now,

00:14:35.960 it's temporary

00:14:36.500 so this

00:14:37.960 could last a week

00:14:39.440 and then go away

00:14:40.180 but

00:14:41.080 what's the

00:14:42.820 law that

00:14:43.880 supports the idea

00:14:44.960 that you have

00:14:46.460 to be a civil servant

00:14:47.540 to have access

00:14:48.360 to a system

00:14:49.060 when the president

00:14:50.220 who is the boss

00:14:51.740 of all the

00:14:52.280 executive branch

00:14:53.300 appointed them

00:14:55.120 to go look at it?

00:14:56.340 Are you telling me

00:14:57.200 that if you had

00:14:57.900 auditors

00:14:58.520 and they were

00:15:00.000 from,

00:15:00.440 let's say,

00:15:01.180 a private

00:15:01.660 auditing company

00:15:02.560 and you hired

00:15:03.600 them to audit

00:15:04.080 the government,

00:15:05.060 they would not

00:15:05.880 have access

00:15:06.460 to any of the

00:15:07.040 systems?

00:15:09.080 So,

00:15:09.740 it's kind of

00:15:10.560 ridiculous.

00:15:11.680 So,

00:15:12.560 Musk is calling 0.99

00:15:13.420 for an impeachment

00:15:14.540 of the federal

00:15:15.180 judge.

00:15:16.100 I don't think

00:15:16.680 there's any

00:15:17.080 practical way

00:15:17.800 to do that.

00:15:18.840 I don't know

00:15:19.460 much about

00:15:19.880 how that works

00:15:20.520 but it seems

00:15:21.660 to me

00:15:22.060 that you probably

00:15:23.600 want it to be

00:15:24.220 difficult

00:15:24.700 to impeach

00:15:25.540 a judge.

00:15:26.680 So,

00:15:27.240 I'm guessing

00:15:27.600 it's not really

00:15:28.460 something that's

00:15:29.020 going to happen

00:15:29.480 but

00:15:30.460 unbelievable.

00:15:33.920 So,

00:15:35.540 here's

00:15:36.340 a,

00:15:37.080 well,

00:15:38.340 there's more.

00:15:39.740 So,

00:15:40.320 the Doge

00:15:42.020 project

00:15:42.540 has already

00:15:43.500 penetrated

00:15:44.420 the Consumer

00:15:45.080 Protection Bureau,

00:15:46.440 the Consumer

00:15:47.660 Finance Protection

00:15:48.720 Bureau,

00:15:49.200 the CFPB.

00:15:50.860 We're learning

00:15:51.740 that there are

00:15:52.180 so many entities.

00:15:53.360 I mean,

00:15:53.560 we knew there

00:15:53.940 were a lot

00:15:54.240 of government

00:15:54.700 entities but

00:15:55.540 it's just

00:15:56.520 dizzying

00:15:57.800 to hear

00:15:58.760 all the names

00:15:59.420 and figure

00:15:59.800 out what

00:16:00.100 they're up

00:16:00.340 to.

00:16:01.160 So,

00:16:02.440 I guess

00:16:02.800 their website

00:16:03.280 is glitching

00:16:04.080 and the

00:16:04.340 employees are

00:16:04.900 mad,

00:16:05.200 the usual

00:16:05.540 thing when

00:16:06.100 Doge goes

00:16:06.940 in there

00:16:07.260 and they

00:16:08.180 think it's

00:16:08.460 a five

00:16:08.960 alarm crisis.

00:16:11.520 However,

00:16:12.600 Russ Vogt,

00:16:13.780 the new

00:16:14.220 OMB

00:16:15.080 director,

00:16:16.600 he says,

00:16:17.920 he's notified

00:16:18.840 the Federal

00:16:19.800 Reserve

00:16:20.300 that the

00:16:21.560 CFPB

00:16:22.300 will not

00:16:22.760 be taking

00:16:23.260 its next

00:16:23.780 draw of

00:16:24.540 unappropriated

00:16:25.540 funding

00:16:26.040 because it

00:16:27.160 is not

00:16:27.600 quote,

00:16:28.440 reasonably

00:16:29.000 necessary

00:16:29.620 to carry

00:16:30.260 on its

00:16:30.620 duties.

00:16:31.980 The Bureau's

00:16:32.540 current balance

00:16:33.280 of over

00:16:34.140 $700 million

00:16:34.900 is in fact

00:16:35.540 excessive

00:16:36.020 in the

00:16:36.400 current

00:16:36.620 fiscal

00:16:37.020 environment.

00:16:38.140 This

00:16:38.300 spigot,

00:16:38.840 long

00:16:39.060 contributing

00:16:39.520 to their

00:16:40.340 unaccountability,

00:16:41.500 is now

00:16:41.840 being turned

00:16:42.360 off.

00:16:44.540 So,

00:16:45.100 unaccountability

00:16:46.140 is going

00:16:47.100 to be the

00:16:47.480 key word.

00:16:49.040 The more

00:16:49.480 Doge looks

00:16:50.340 into the

00:16:50.820 government

00:16:51.160 spending,

00:16:52.620 the more

00:16:53.100 you see,

00:16:54.180 wait a

00:16:54.560 minute,

00:16:54.720 that's

00:16:55.860 not

00:16:56.120 audited?

00:16:58.860 Nobody's

00:16:59.380 keeping

00:16:59.620 track of

00:17:00.140 this?

00:17:01.420 It gets

00:17:02.120 much worse.

00:17:03.520 I was

00:17:03.940 watching a

00:17:04.380 video,

00:17:04.900 it's not

00:17:05.380 a new

00:17:05.660 one,

00:17:05.960 but it's

00:17:06.560 not too

00:17:07.640 long ago.

00:17:09.400 Jon Stewart

00:17:10.120 was interviewing

00:17:10.740 the number

00:17:11.160 two at the

00:17:11.720 Pentagon

00:17:12.020 about how

00:17:13.500 their system,

00:17:14.360 they seem

00:17:14.640 to be losing

00:17:15.120 a lot of

00:17:15.480 money and

00:17:15.920 it's not

00:17:16.220 auditable.

00:17:17.280 And she

00:17:17.600 was just

00:17:18.340 sort of

00:17:18.740 laughing and

00:17:19.420 mocking him

00:17:20.060 for not

00:17:21.020 understanding

00:17:21.540 that an

00:17:22.020 audit,

00:17:22.580 the inability

00:17:23.340 to audit

00:17:24.060 is not

00:17:25.200 related to

00:17:26.000 his claims

00:17:26.640 that there's

00:17:27.120 fraud and

00:17:27.580 abuse.

00:17:29.160 And Jon

00:17:29.540 Stewart,

00:17:30.760 despite being

00:17:31.500 left-leaning,

00:17:33.720 doesn't let her

00:17:34.440 off the hook.

00:17:35.880 And he's like,

00:17:36.480 well,

00:17:37.480 you know,

00:17:37.760 if you can't

00:17:38.400 account for

00:17:39.420 the money

00:17:39.820 that we're

00:17:40.160 giving you

00:17:40.620 and you

00:17:41.100 can't tell

00:17:41.920 us where

00:17:42.340 it was

00:17:42.620 spent,

00:17:43.780 that's a

00:17:44.400 lot like

00:17:44.980 waste,

00:17:45.600 fraud,

00:17:45.920 and abuse

00:17:46.480 to most

00:17:47.060 people.

00:17:48.080 And she

00:17:48.740 argued that

00:17:49.380 they were

00:17:49.660 different.

00:17:50.720 No,

00:17:50.880 no,

00:17:50.980 no.

00:17:51.180 No,

00:17:52.000 you have

00:17:52.220 to distinguish

00:17:52.720 between the

00:17:53.440 ability to

00:17:54.080 audit,

00:17:54.540 which we

00:17:54.960 don't have,

00:17:56.320 and the

00:17:57.020 waste,

00:17:57.540 fraud,

00:17:57.740 and abuse,

00:17:58.120 which is

00:17:58.440 not

00:17:58.640 demonstrated

00:17:59.240 because we

00:18:02.000 don't have

00:18:02.440 the ability

00:18:02.900 to audit.

00:18:04.660 But don't

00:18:05.160 you for a

00:18:05.740 minute think

00:18:06.320 that our

00:18:07.340 inability

00:18:09.100 intentional,

00:18:10.480 of course

00:18:11.560 it's

00:18:11.800 intentional

00:18:12.320 because

00:18:13.120 everybody

00:18:13.680 would know

00:18:14.100 how to

00:18:14.400 build a

00:18:14.740 system that

00:18:15.280 can audit

00:18:15.700 your

00:18:15.900 expenses.

00:18:16.860 That's

00:18:17.360 not unusual

00:18:18.560 or hard.

00:18:19.280 So it's

00:18:20.980 intentional

00:18:21.580 that they

00:18:23.140 have an

00:18:23.520 unauditable

00:18:24.240 system.

00:18:25.160 Are you

00:18:25.520 telling me

00:18:25.980 that somewhere

00:18:26.560 there's a

00:18:27.140 non-auditable

00:18:28.480 system that

00:18:29.800 spends over

00:18:30.420 $800 billion

00:18:31.560 a year and

00:18:33.040 there's no

00:18:33.460 fraud,

00:18:34.120 waste,

00:18:34.400 or abuse?

00:18:35.320 It's probably

00:18:36.500 mostly fraud,

00:18:37.660 waste,

00:18:37.940 and abuse

00:18:38.440 because if

00:18:39.400 it's unaudited

00:18:40.220 and it's

00:18:40.740 nearing a

00:18:41.920 trillion dollars,

00:18:43.100 what the

00:18:43.660 hell do you

00:18:44.120 think is

00:18:44.480 happening?

00:18:45.780 It's pretty

00:18:46.720 predictable.

00:18:48.160 So there's

00:18:48.780 that.

00:18:49.280 anyway,

00:18:52.160 I think

00:18:54.680 the

00:18:55.080 Pentagon

00:18:55.880 budget

00:18:56.460 will be

00:18:57.040 where we

00:18:57.420 find out

00:18:57.920 if Doge

00:18:58.480 can survive

00:18:59.440 because

00:19:00.840 you see

00:19:02.040 the resistance

00:19:02.780 trying to

00:19:03.900 firm up.

00:19:04.920 The media

00:19:05.500 has got

00:19:06.940 their little

00:19:07.360 fake messaging

00:19:08.120 so that

00:19:08.640 the fake

00:19:09.100 news has

00:19:09.720 surrounded

00:19:10.200 USAID

00:19:11.580 and the

00:19:11.860 USAID

00:19:12.360 people are

00:19:12.740 saying,

00:19:12.980 oh no,

00:19:13.460 we're just

00:19:13.800 a charity,

00:19:14.540 which of

00:19:14.900 course they're

00:19:15.300 not.

00:19:16.160 It's a

00:19:16.460 fake charity,

00:19:17.340 but Democrats

00:19:18.080 don't know the

00:19:18.740 difference

00:19:19.060 apparently.

00:19:20.340 And it's

00:19:22.200 a real

00:19:22.760 charity,

00:19:23.300 but they

00:19:23.720 only do

00:19:24.080 the charity

00:19:24.580 where they

00:19:25.240 can influence

00:19:25.860 other countries.

00:19:26.520 So they're

00:19:27.080 not in it

00:19:27.580 for the

00:19:27.980 charity.

00:19:29.040 They're in it

00:19:29.760 to influence

00:19:30.300 the other

00:19:30.600 countries.

00:19:31.000 So

00:19:32.260 Claudia was

00:19:34.340 leaving for

00:19:34.780 her pickleball

00:19:35.360 tournament.

00:19:35.940 I've been

00:19:36.160 visualizing

00:19:36.740 my match

00:19:37.280 all week.

00:19:38.420 She was

00:19:38.800 so focused

00:19:39.320 on visualizing

00:19:40.120 that she

00:19:40.560 didn't see

00:19:41.000 the column

00:19:41.380 behind her

00:19:41.860 car on

00:19:42.440 her back

00:19:42.780 hand side.

00:19:44.440 Good thing

00:19:45.120 Claudia's

00:19:45.560 with Intact,

00:19:46.360 the insurer

00:19:46.920 with the

00:19:47.340 largest network

00:19:48.040 of auto

00:19:48.420 service centers

00:19:49.020 in the

00:19:49.480 country.

00:19:50.140 Everything

00:19:50.420 was taken

00:19:50.900 care of

00:19:51.300 under one

00:19:51.780 roof and

00:19:52.280 she was

00:19:52.580 on her

00:19:52.840 way in

00:19:53.080 a rental

00:19:53.400 car in

00:19:53.960 no time.

00:19:54.600 I made

00:19:55.080 it to my

00:19:55.520 tournament

00:19:55.920 and lost

00:19:57.020 in the first

00:19:57.420 round.

00:19:57.800 So all

00:20:05.460 that's

00:20:05.740 happening.

00:20:06.720 But when

00:20:07.240 Doge gets

00:20:08.160 into the

00:20:08.540 Pentagon,

00:20:09.540 I think

00:20:10.280 the level

00:20:10.800 of resistance

00:20:11.520 and the

00:20:12.920 level of

00:20:13.500 dirty tricks

00:20:14.280 and the

00:20:14.980 level of

00:20:15.440 pushback,

00:20:16.540 legal and

00:20:17.340 illegal,

00:20:18.420 is going

00:20:18.800 to be

00:20:18.960 through the

00:20:19.340 roof.

00:20:20.400 Because there

00:20:21.640 are some

00:20:21.940 people who

00:20:22.420 are going

00:20:22.640 to go

00:20:22.840 to jail,

00:20:23.880 I think,

00:20:25.380 when the

00:20:26.040 Pentagon gets

00:20:26.760 audited.

00:20:27.800 If you

00:20:28.120 can even

00:20:28.480 do it.

00:20:29.300 So I

00:20:29.500 think what

00:20:29.940 Doge will

00:20:30.940 find is there

00:20:31.540 is no way

00:20:31.980 to audit it.

00:20:33.320 One of the

00:20:33.880 things that

00:20:34.220 Elon wants

00:20:34.740 to do

00:20:35.240 with the

00:20:36.500 Treasury

00:20:36.980 Department

00:20:37.500 is add

00:20:38.440 codes to

00:20:39.940 each expense

00:20:40.680 so you

00:20:41.340 can audit

00:20:41.720 later.

00:20:43.140 It's not

00:20:44.000 built to

00:20:44.660 even pay

00:20:45.280 attention to

00:20:45.920 where money

00:20:46.340 went.

00:20:47.620 The simplest

00:20:48.380 thing that

00:20:49.100 any system

00:20:49.900 that handles

00:20:50.460 money should

00:20:51.140 do is

00:20:52.380 make sure

00:20:52.800 that every

00:20:53.280 expense is

00:20:54.100 documented

00:20:55.600 or coded

00:20:56.400 in a way

00:20:57.360 that later

00:20:57.840 you could

00:20:58.240 sum them

00:20:58.740 up and

00:20:59.100 say,

00:20:59.400 oh,

00:20:59.600 look what

00:20:59.980 we spent

00:21:00.340 on this,

00:21:00.840 look what

00:21:01.120 we spent

00:21:01.480 on that,

00:21:02.520 and you

00:21:02.840 know where

00:21:03.180 your money

00:21:03.520 went.

00:21:04.500 It's pretty

00:21:05.260 basic stuff.

00:21:06.400 Every corporation

00:21:07.180 would have it.

00:21:08.140 There would be

00:21:08.600 no such thing

00:21:09.220 as a corporation

00:21:09.940 that didn't

00:21:10.380 do it.

00:21:11.440 So it

00:21:12.440 has to be

00:21:12.940 intentional.

00:21:14.660 It has to

00:21:15.340 be.

00:21:16.000 Now,

00:21:16.520 when I said

00:21:17.760 that,

00:21:18.100 I said it

00:21:18.540 on X

00:21:19.120 this morning,

00:21:20.340 that it

00:21:20.820 looks like

00:21:21.260 the systems

00:21:21.880 were intentionally

00:21:22.900 designed for

00:21:24.340 fraud.

00:21:24.780 because it's

00:21:26.580 so non-standard

00:21:27.700 to have an

00:21:29.080 unauditable

00:21:29.740 financial system

00:21:30.920 handling billions

00:21:31.740 of dollars,

00:21:32.860 trillions,

00:21:33.540 trillions of

00:21:34.020 dollars,

00:21:34.820 unauditable.

00:21:36.160 You couldn't

00:21:37.140 possibly do

00:21:37.900 that unintentionally.

00:21:39.440 You couldn't

00:21:40.160 accidentally do

00:21:41.100 that.

00:21:43.220 There's no way

00:21:44.200 you can get

00:21:44.660 there unless

00:21:45.080 that's actually

00:21:45.760 intentional.

00:21:46.920 Now,

00:21:47.240 that sounds

00:21:47.660 like pretty

00:21:48.260 conspiracy theory

00:21:49.300 stuff,

00:21:49.800 but I said

00:21:50.200 that on X,

00:21:51.360 and Elon

00:21:52.220 Musk said,

00:21:53.180 yes,

00:21:53.480 100%.

00:21:54.780 he actually

00:21:55.720 backed up

00:21:56.360 the theory

00:21:56.920 that it

00:21:57.820 appears to

00:21:58.360 be,

00:21:59.340 you can't

00:21:59.800 read any

00:22:00.260 minds,

00:22:01.020 but it

00:22:01.380 appears to

00:22:01.780 be designed

00:22:02.340 for fraud.

00:22:04.240 And it's

00:22:05.680 really obvious

00:22:06.460 because nobody,

00:22:08.660 nobody,

00:22:09.640 nobody would

00:22:11.300 build the

00:22:11.740 system the

00:22:12.260 way it is

00:22:12.920 for any

00:22:14.560 other reason.

00:22:16.060 There's no

00:22:16.800 other reason

00:22:17.480 to not track

00:22:18.680 your expenses.

00:22:20.640 Can you

00:22:21.360 think of

00:22:21.680 one?

00:22:22.740 Let's put

00:22:23.460 it under a

00:22:23.800 thinking cap.

00:22:25.080 What's

00:22:25.600 the other

00:22:26.140 reason for

00:22:27.640 not tracking

00:22:28.380 expenses in

00:22:29.440 the trillions

00:22:30.020 of dollars?

00:22:31.360 Huh?

00:22:32.140 Well,

00:22:32.660 I'm stymied.

00:22:33.960 I'm a

00:22:34.720 professional

00:22:35.340 creative guy.

00:22:36.860 I can't

00:22:37.340 think of

00:22:37.560 another reason.

00:22:39.200 So if

00:22:39.660 anybody can

00:22:40.200 come up

00:22:40.520 with any

00:22:41.440 other reason

00:22:42.100 that they

00:22:43.200 would design

00:22:43.840 a system,

00:22:44.520 the only

00:22:45.020 one we

00:22:45.400 know about,

00:22:46.800 that's big

00:22:47.820 dollars and

00:22:48.540 doesn't track

00:22:49.180 anything,

00:22:49.720 the only one

00:22:50.440 in the world,

00:22:50.940 well,

00:22:52.240 the only

00:22:52.480 one in

00:22:52.780 the United

00:22:53.220 States,

00:22:54.480 you just

00:22:54.920 tell me

00:22:55.420 because then

00:22:56.120 I'd like

00:22:56.440 to see

00:22:57.100 how I'm

00:22:57.440 wrong.

00:23:00.560 Anyway,

00:23:01.460 so it's

00:23:01.940 the social,

00:23:02.640 listen to the,

00:23:03.460 I was,

00:23:03.880 actually it was

00:23:04.400 the social

00:23:04.840 security system

00:23:05.980 that is the

00:23:07.000 one that

00:23:07.580 Elon responded

00:23:08.640 to.

00:23:09.380 So listen to

00:23:10.120 this,

00:23:10.400 the social

00:23:10.840 security

00:23:11.380 database,

00:23:12.120 this is

00:23:14.680 what Elon

00:23:15.140 posted,

00:23:15.800 he said,

00:23:16.600 he just

00:23:17.140 learned that

00:23:17.680 the social

00:23:18.160 security

00:23:18.680 database is

00:23:19.580 not

00:23:19.880 deduplicated.

00:23:21.980 Now,

00:23:22.560 if you

00:23:22.760 don't know

00:23:23.080 what

00:23:23.280 deduplicated

00:23:24.280 means,

00:23:25.360 it means

00:23:25.880 that it

00:23:26.360 allows you

00:23:26.960 to have

00:23:27.220 the same

00:23:27.660 social security

00:23:28.520 number many

00:23:29.380 times over.

00:23:32.220 Let me

00:23:32.860 just say

00:23:33.200 that again.

00:23:35.440 The social

00:23:36.460 security

00:23:37.220 budget

00:23:38.540 is going

00:23:40.780 out to

00:23:41.120 all the

00:23:41.420 people who

00:23:41.780 have a

00:23:42.060 social security

00:23:42.800 number

00:23:43.220 and it

00:23:44.240 reached a

00:23:44.660 certain age.

00:23:46.160 Social

00:23:46.420 security.

00:23:48.460 The system

00:23:49.160 that does

00:23:49.660 that,

00:23:50.600 you're not

00:23:50.960 even going

00:23:51.240 to believe

00:23:51.520 this,

00:23:51.880 you're going

00:23:52.100 to think

00:23:52.300 I made

00:23:52.600 this up,

00:23:54.500 doesn't

00:23:55.000 check to

00:23:55.780 see if

00:23:56.100 the same

00:23:56.540 social security

00:23:57.500 number has

00:23:58.060 been used

00:23:58.540 more than

00:23:58.960 once.

00:24:01.020 I'm not

00:24:01.780 making that

00:24:02.300 up.

00:24:03.420 That's what

00:24:03.880 Doge just 0.82

00:24:04.500 discovered.

00:24:06.540 We didn't

00:24:07.340 know that.

00:24:08.920 The social

00:24:09.620 security system

00:24:11.020 that decides

00:24:12.200 who gets

00:24:12.660 paid what

00:24:13.620 doesn't

00:24:15.220 know if

00:24:16.900 you've used

00:24:18.000 the same

00:24:18.440 social security

00:24:19.380 number 10,000

00:24:20.400 times.

00:24:23.500 What?

00:24:25.600 Now, this is

00:24:26.880 the one where

00:24:27.500 I said it

00:24:28.300 looks like

00:24:28.660 it's designed

00:24:29.420 for fraud.

00:24:32.140 I was

00:24:32.900 conflating it

00:24:33.600 with the

00:24:33.920 treasury system

00:24:34.820 which doesn't

00:24:35.640 have the

00:24:35.920 right codes.

00:24:37.360 In both

00:24:37.820 cases, you

00:24:39.400 would only

00:24:40.200 design these

00:24:42.140 systems this

00:24:42.800 way for

00:24:44.200 fraud.

00:24:45.860 Can you

00:24:46.620 imagine if

00:24:47.620 you were

00:24:47.940 designing the

00:24:48.880 social security

00:24:50.340 system and

00:24:52.260 you didn't

00:24:52.860 check to

00:24:53.680 see if

00:24:53.960 there's a

00:24:54.340 dupe?

00:24:54.640 the most

00:24:56.600 basic thing

00:24:57.420 you would

00:24:57.720 want to

00:24:58.040 check.

00:24:58.740 The most

00:24:59.200 basic thing.

00:25:00.640 Now, you

00:25:01.020 might say,

00:25:01.540 oh, but

00:25:01.900 Scott, the

00:25:03.000 system was

00:25:03.580 designed so

00:25:04.300 long ago that

00:25:05.740 they weren't

00:25:06.080 so smart.

00:25:07.100 No, there

00:25:07.480 was never a

00:25:08.020 time they

00:25:08.340 weren't that

00:25:08.760 smart.

00:25:10.500 There was

00:25:11.140 never a

00:25:11.640 time when

00:25:13.040 everybody

00:25:13.580 didn't know

00:25:14.180 the most

00:25:14.640 important thing

00:25:15.240 is to check

00:25:15.860 you're not

00:25:16.560 using the

00:25:17.040 same social

00:25:17.620 security number

00:25:18.520 more than

00:25:18.900 once.

00:25:20.000 Do you

00:25:20.200 know why we

00:25:20.680 have social

00:25:21.160 security numbers?

00:25:22.060 So they

00:25:23.640 don't get

00:25:24.020 used more

00:25:24.560 than once.

00:25:26.260 The whole

00:25:26.900 point of

00:25:27.380 them is to

00:25:27.840 make them

00:25:28.160 unique.

00:25:29.080 Why?

00:25:30.040 So you

00:25:30.380 could check

00:25:30.800 to make

00:25:31.180 sure somebody

00:25:31.740 didn't use

00:25:32.200 it more

00:25:32.480 than once.

00:25:33.660 And then

00:25:34.260 they build

00:25:34.600 a system

00:25:35.060 that doesn't

00:25:35.600 check to

00:25:36.000 see if

00:25:36.280 it got

00:25:36.500 used more

00:25:37.020 than once.

00:25:38.580 How is

00:25:39.260 this even

00:25:39.720 real?

00:25:41.080 People, how

00:25:42.020 is this

00:25:42.400 real?

00:25:43.200 Remember

00:25:43.500 when I

00:25:43.800 said I

00:25:44.880 thought that

00:25:45.400 it's possible

00:25:46.140 that the

00:25:46.600 entire $2

00:25:47.460 trillion deficit

00:25:48.560 could be

00:25:49.040 solved by

00:25:49.640 getting rid

00:25:50.000 of fraud

00:25:50.400 and waste?

00:25:52.060 Now, Elon

00:25:54.240 thought maybe

00:25:54.840 a third to

00:25:55.420 a half of

00:25:55.940 it could be

00:25:56.320 reduced by

00:25:56.900 this fraud

00:25:57.400 and waste.

00:25:58.440 I don't

00:25:58.780 know.

00:26:00.120 I don't

00:26:00.460 know.

00:26:00.860 Maybe all

00:26:01.420 $2 trillion.

00:26:02.640 We have

00:26:03.460 holes in

00:26:04.080 our system

00:26:04.600 that are

00:26:04.960 so big.

00:26:06.080 And I've

00:26:07.000 said this

00:26:07.380 before, but

00:26:07.980 I can never

00:26:08.980 understand why

00:26:09.760 there are so

00:26:10.180 many rich

00:26:10.620 people in

00:26:11.080 the world.

00:26:14.040 Maybe this

00:26:14.760 is why,

00:26:15.560 that some,

00:26:16.580 you know,

00:26:16.960 a third or

00:26:17.680 half of all

00:26:18.180 rich people

00:26:18.660 got there

00:26:19.120 through fraud.

00:26:19.880 makes me

00:26:21.800 wonder.

00:26:24.020 Anyway,

00:26:24.860 some of

00:26:26.160 you know

00:26:26.520 who Kara

00:26:27.180 Swisher and

00:26:27.820 Scott Galloway

00:26:28.540 are.

00:26:29.440 So they've

00:26:29.800 got a

00:26:30.280 podcast,

00:26:31.660 I think it's

00:26:32.020 called,

00:26:33.060 I don't know

00:26:33.500 what it's

00:26:33.680 called,

00:26:34.320 but they're

00:26:34.960 sort of

00:26:35.660 professional

00:26:36.320 complainers

00:26:38.120 about

00:26:38.560 Republicans,

00:26:39.620 basically.

00:26:40.980 And

00:26:41.300 what Scott

00:26:45.320 Galloway

00:26:45.760 said on a

00:26:46.680 recent podcast

00:26:47.520 about the

00:26:48.120 Doge

00:26:48.440 people,

00:26:49.340 he said,

00:26:49.780 I want

00:26:50.180 to see

00:26:50.420 Democratic

00:26:50.960 governors

00:26:51.500 use the

00:26:52.040 full faith

00:26:52.580 and letter

00:26:52.960 of the

00:26:53.240 law to

00:26:54.140 put those

00:26:54.980 folks in

00:26:55.560 prison.

00:26:56.640 He says

00:26:57.440 Doge is

00:26:58.200 a coup

00:26:58.820 and he

00:27:00.200 wants them

00:27:00.580 put in

00:27:00.980 prison

00:27:01.300 for

00:27:04.380 doing what

00:27:06.340 the executive

00:27:07.100 who was in

00:27:07.640 charge asked

00:27:08.220 them to do

00:27:08.740 to check

00:27:09.200 where the

00:27:09.560 money was

00:27:09.980 going.

00:27:11.280 And he

00:27:11.840 wants them

00:27:12.160 in prison.

00:27:12.640 Swisher and

00:27:21.760 Galloway are

00:27:22.320 threatening

00:27:22.840 talented young

00:27:23.920 software

00:27:24.340 engineers

00:27:24.880 who are

00:27:26.920 giving up

00:27:27.540 on high

00:27:27.920 compensation

00:27:28.500 for death

00:27:29.140 threats in

00:27:29.620 order to

00:27:29.980 help the

00:27:30.300 American

00:27:30.580 people.

00:27:31.640 He says

00:27:32.040 shame on

00:27:32.680 Swisher and

00:27:33.200 Galloway,

00:27:33.800 cruel,

00:27:34.540 mean,

00:27:34.800 and deceitful

00:27:35.420 human beings

00:27:36.120 that they

00:27:36.480 are.

00:27:38.560 Well,

00:27:39.220 to me,

00:27:39.560 they look

00:27:39.860 like just

00:27:40.260 two people

00:27:40.760 with severe

00:27:41.300 mental

00:27:41.680 illness who

00:27:42.500 got a

00:27:42.900 podcast.

00:27:44.440 And I

00:27:45.060 say that

00:27:45.520 with complete

00:27:46.140 seriousness.

00:27:47.180 It just

00:27:48.000 looks like

00:27:48.480 mental illness.

00:27:50.260 It's hard

00:27:50.960 to describe

00:27:51.640 it.

00:27:52.220 I mean,

00:27:52.440 it would

00:27:52.540 be hard

00:27:52.820 to understand

00:27:53.340 it in

00:27:53.660 any other

00:27:54.020 way.

00:27:54.900 So one

00:27:56.440 of the

00:27:56.600 most dangerous

00:27:57.180 things in

00:27:57.800 the country

00:27:58.220 is that

00:27:59.080 people with

00:27:59.540 severe mental

00:28:00.180 illness can

00:28:01.580 have podcasts.

00:28:03.320 It's pretty

00:28:04.060 dangerous.

00:28:08.080 So I

00:28:08.720 guess MSNBC's

00:28:10.320 Chris Hayes

00:28:11.100 was on

00:28:12.400 Bill Maher's

00:28:14.840 show recently

00:28:15.600 on Friday,

00:28:16.820 and he

00:28:17.320 said that

00:28:17.980 this is

00:28:19.040 part of

00:28:19.700 the Democrats

00:28:20.420 trying to

00:28:20.860 find the

00:28:21.180 right

00:28:21.360 messaging

00:28:21.820 because they

00:28:22.900 still believe

00:28:23.480 they have

00:28:23.760 the right

00:28:24.080 policies,

00:28:24.960 despite every

00:28:25.860 poll showing

00:28:26.500 that they're

00:28:26.860 unpopular.

00:28:28.340 You would

00:28:28.980 think that

00:28:29.460 if every

00:28:30.200 poll showed

00:28:31.620 that their

00:28:31.960 policies are

00:28:32.600 unpopular,

00:28:33.540 like everyone,

00:28:35.540 that they

00:28:35.880 would say,

00:28:36.300 huh,

00:28:37.080 if every

00:28:37.740 poll shows

00:28:38.380 that they're

00:28:38.680 unpopular,

00:28:39.080 maybe we're

00:28:40.840 unpopular.

00:28:42.200 No,

00:28:42.620 they've decided

00:28:43.220 that the

00:28:43.660 words are

00:28:44.260 the problem.

00:28:45.340 So instead

00:28:45.720 of diversity,

00:28:47.140 Chris Hayes

00:28:47.700 points out

00:28:48.220 that that

00:28:48.560 word got

00:28:49.040 politically

00:28:50.040 failed,

00:28:50.940 so they

00:28:51.520 should change

00:28:52.060 the word,

00:28:52.800 but mean

00:28:53.340 the same

00:28:53.720 thing,

00:28:54.720 to patriotic

00:28:55.780 pluralism.

00:28:57.820 Oh,

00:28:59.080 well,

00:29:00.760 let's see,

00:29:01.940 if I was

00:29:02.600 racially,

00:29:03.140 if I were

00:29:03.820 racially

00:29:04.220 discriminated

00:29:04.960 against for

00:29:05.580 50 fucking

00:29:06.460 years,

00:29:07.020 which I was

00:29:07.680 for being

00:29:08.080 a white

00:29:08.380 man,

00:29:08.760 and they

00:29:09.500 used that

00:29:09.880 word

00:29:10.080 diversity

00:29:10.720 to racially

00:29:12.100 discriminate

00:29:12.660 against me

00:29:13.300 for 50

00:29:13.840 fucking

00:29:14.260 years,

00:29:15.180 fuck you, 0.99

00:29:15.660 every one

00:29:16.000 of you

00:29:16.260 who did

00:29:16.560 it,

00:29:16.860 mostly white

00:29:17.560 people,

00:29:17.920 by the way,

00:29:18.500 just to be

00:29:18.920 clear,

00:29:19.600 the people

00:29:20.060 who discriminated

00:29:20.880 against me

00:29:21.600 were white

00:29:23.200 men trying

00:29:23.740 to save

00:29:24.100 their own

00:29:24.420 asses, 0.99

00:29:25.280 so fuck

00:29:25.820 every one

00:29:26.240 of them.

00:29:28.120 So I

00:29:28.620 can say

00:29:29.100 that because

00:29:29.480 I'm a

00:29:30.180 white man,

00:29:30.720 so fuck

00:29:31.180 every white 0.53

00:29:31.680 man who

00:29:32.460 did this

00:29:33.200 to other

00:29:33.540 white men.

00:30:40.620 Now, is this a

00:30:43.700 case of somebody

00:30:44.580 not understanding

00:30:45.740 anything about the

00:30:47.280 situation or the

00:30:48.460 world, or nothing

00:30:50.640 about how

00:30:51.240 persuasion works?

00:30:53.440 I listened to my

00:30:55.440 smartest Democrat

00:30:57.360 friend the other

00:30:58.080 day.

00:30:59.220 He gave a

00:30:59.980 compliment to

00:31:00.900 Trump, and I

00:31:02.180 was like,

00:31:02.560 whoa, all

00:31:03.820 right, this is

00:31:04.360 progress.

00:31:05.520 You know, that

00:31:05.820 there was

00:31:06.080 actually a

00:31:06.740 legitimate

00:31:07.120 compliment that

00:31:08.600 he gave to

00:31:09.040 Trump.

00:31:09.360 Here was the

00:31:09.940 compliment he

00:31:10.560 gave, that

00:31:12.480 Trump is really

00:31:13.240 good at

00:31:13.640 marketing.

00:31:15.360 Wait, wait,

00:31:16.300 what?

00:31:18.220 That's it?

00:31:19.320 He's good at

00:31:20.100 marketing, so

00:31:21.480 that's why he

00:31:22.040 won, because

00:31:23.300 he's good at

00:31:23.800 marketing.

00:31:24.260 You don't

00:31:26.120 think it has

00:31:26.940 something to do

00:31:27.620 with the fact

00:31:28.120 that he was

00:31:28.960 backing the

00:31:29.660 most popular

00:31:30.520 policies in the

00:31:31.620 country?

00:31:33.820 You think that

00:31:34.840 that's marketing?

00:31:36.500 I mean, he's

00:31:37.300 really good at

00:31:37.860 branding and that

00:31:38.820 stuff, that's

00:31:39.500 true, but if

00:31:41.960 you switch the

00:31:42.860 policies, do

00:31:44.480 you think Trump

00:31:45.160 could have sold

00:31:45.740 diversity and

00:31:47.640 open borders and

00:31:50.240 trans men in

00:31:52.820 women's sports? 1.00

00:31:56.280 Do they really

00:31:57.240 believe that?

00:31:58.660 That all you'd

00:31:59.340 have to do is,

00:32:00.220 you know, do a

00:32:00.760 little bit of

00:32:01.200 marketing and

00:32:02.420 you can make the

00:32:03.140 least popular

00:32:03.900 ideas in the

00:32:04.700 country the

00:32:05.220 most popular?

00:32:07.800 What is wrong

00:32:08.660 with them?

00:32:10.180 And the only

00:32:10.780 thing I can think

00:32:11.480 of is that it's

00:32:12.440 just cognitive

00:32:13.160 dissonance, because

00:32:14.800 if they admit that

00:32:16.740 they've been

00:32:17.200 completely wrong

00:32:18.380 about everything,

00:32:20.640 how can they go

00:32:21.320 back to work?

00:32:22.820 Their jobs are to

00:32:23.820 be right about

00:32:24.400 stuff.

00:32:25.580 They weren't just

00:32:26.480 not right.

00:32:27.960 It was like they'd

00:32:28.980 never had any

00:32:30.040 experience in the

00:32:30.960 field in which

00:32:31.600 they were supposed

00:32:32.100 to be experts.

00:32:34.140 The funniest thing

00:32:35.260 that I hear when

00:32:35.940 people criticize me

00:32:37.160 is that when I

00:32:38.820 talk about some

00:32:39.880 topic in the

00:32:40.540 news, there's

00:32:41.440 always at least

00:32:41.980 one troll that

00:32:43.100 says something

00:32:43.600 like, oh,

00:32:44.860 oh, Scott, now

00:32:45.680 you're the expert

00:32:46.460 in physics.

00:32:47.860 Oh, oh, Scott,

00:32:49.020 oh, now you're

00:32:49.840 the expert in

00:32:50.740 international

00:32:51.400 geopolitical affairs.

00:32:53.340 Oh, oh, I see

00:32:54.280 you're the expert

00:32:55.000 on health care

00:32:55.560 now, Scott.

00:32:57.220 And I say to

00:32:58.040 myself, have you

00:32:59.220 paid attention to

00:33:00.180 how experts are

00:33:01.220 doing?

00:33:02.440 I'm an expert

00:33:03.440 at identifying

00:33:04.800 bullshit.

00:33:07.060 That's what I

00:33:08.240 am.

00:33:08.860 So why are you

00:33:09.860 denigrating my

00:33:10.600 expertise?

00:33:11.560 I have a pretty

00:33:12.480 good track record

00:33:13.340 of identifying

00:33:14.080 bullshit before

00:33:15.400 other people

00:33:16.000 spotted it.

00:33:16.620 I'm literally

00:33:17.740 famous for it.

00:33:20.560 So, you

00:33:22.440 know, don't

00:33:22.800 sell my

00:33:23.180 expertise short.

00:33:26.220 Anyway, the

00:33:31.340 fentanyl cost,

00:33:32.820 according to

00:33:33.260 Fox News, Emma

00:33:34.200 Colton has a

00:33:35.180 story about some

00:33:35.800 people who did

00:33:36.240 some estimates

00:33:36.820 of what the

00:33:37.960 fentanyl problem

00:33:40.960 is causing the

00:33:41.980 United States in

00:33:42.760 terms of money.

00:33:44.200 Now, the way

00:33:45.600 the calculation

00:33:46.280 was done is

00:33:47.160 they put a

00:33:48.440 value on human

00:33:49.320 life.

00:33:50.540 Okay, that's a

00:33:51.120 little sketchy.

00:33:51.840 But then they

00:33:52.540 said how many

00:33:53.100 people have died

00:33:53.860 and what age

00:33:54.540 were they and

00:33:55.580 how many years

00:33:56.220 were taken away

00:33:57.000 and what were

00:33:57.540 those years worth

00:33:58.380 in terms of

00:33:59.000 value, plus,

00:34:00.260 you know, other

00:34:00.880 expenses.

00:34:01.760 And they came up

00:34:02.500 with $2.7

00:34:05.260 trillion expense

00:34:06.600 for the

00:34:07.500 fentanyl that's

00:34:08.400 coming, the

00:34:09.780 opioid in general,

00:34:11.520 but fentanyl being

00:34:12.260 the biggest part

00:34:12.900 of that.

00:34:14.200 Now, do you

00:34:15.620 believe that

00:34:16.360 anybody can

00:34:18.380 calculate the

00:34:19.860 financial cost

00:34:20.860 of fentanyl?

00:34:22.560 Well, this is

00:34:23.540 one of those

00:34:23.980 things where your

00:34:24.660 assumptions drive

00:34:25.720 everything.

00:34:26.620 If you assume

00:34:27.820 that a person's

00:34:28.640 worth $10 million

00:34:29.480 a year and

00:34:30.820 how many years

00:34:32.000 they're going to

00:34:32.340 live, you can

00:34:33.780 get to a pretty

00:34:34.340 big number pretty

00:34:35.460 quickly.

00:34:36.260 It makes me

00:34:36.940 wonder if this

00:34:37.960 is part of

00:34:40.440 the Trump

00:34:42.200 administration's

00:34:43.260 negotiations.

00:34:45.120 So even if

00:34:45.960 other people

00:34:47.460 would debate

00:34:48.480 whether you

00:34:49.040 calculated this

00:34:49.900 correctly, think

00:34:51.580 how powerful it

00:34:52.360 would be to go

00:34:52.860 to China and

00:34:54.120 say, all right,

00:34:54.880 here's our

00:34:55.280 study.

00:34:57.080 Apparently, you

00:34:57.840 just cost us

00:34:58.520 $2.7 trillion.

00:35:00.460 Now, let's talk

00:35:01.380 about tariffs.

00:35:03.340 So number one,

00:35:04.280 you're going to

00:35:04.560 have to pay us

00:35:05.040 back $2.7 trillion.

00:35:06.800 That's the

00:35:07.180 starting place.

00:35:08.480 That's before we

00:35:09.500 talk about the

00:35:10.380 unfair balance of

00:35:12.620 trade.

00:35:14.080 Day one, let me

00:35:15.620 tell you, you owe

00:35:16.960 us $2.7 trillion.

00:35:18.600 Then you go to

00:35:19.380 Mexico, you go to 0.98

00:35:20.900 Mexico, $2.7

00:35:22.680 trillion.

00:35:23.960 That's what you

00:35:24.660 owe us.

00:35:25.580 So if we ask for

00:35:27.180 less than that or

00:35:28.020 we get less than

00:35:28.800 that in a deal,

00:35:29.660 you should be

00:35:30.240 pretty happy because

00:35:31.940 you owe us $2.7

00:35:33.180 trillion.

00:35:34.320 So for persuasion,

00:35:36.180 really useful.

00:35:37.980 Really useful.

00:35:38.680 I'm glad they

00:35:40.820 did the

00:35:41.120 calculation.

00:35:43.500 Well, Trump

00:35:44.400 continues to

00:35:45.200 remove people's

00:35:46.560 security clearance

00:35:47.760 and here's

00:35:49.760 what's interesting

00:35:50.460 about it.

00:35:51.560 The people he's

00:35:52.960 removing the

00:35:53.760 security clearance

00:35:54.780 from seem to

00:35:56.760 be the people

00:35:57.480 who are most

00:35:58.320 closely related

00:35:59.360 to the worst

00:36:01.840 parts of the

00:36:02.540 government.

00:36:03.320 You know, the

00:36:03.620 deep state,

00:36:04.480 the, I would

00:36:05.840 say, the

00:36:06.200 conspiracy, the

00:36:07.260 RICO

00:36:07.540 conspiracy

00:36:08.260 against Trump.

00:36:09.900 I'm going to

00:36:10.480 call it RICO

00:36:11.020 because it

00:36:11.440 looks like it.

00:36:12.340 As far as I

00:36:12.920 can tell, it's

00:36:13.440 organized.

00:36:14.440 It looks like

00:36:15.360 they coordinated

00:36:16.040 and it looks

00:36:17.300 like it was

00:36:18.140 to overthrow

00:36:19.440 the, you

00:36:20.780 know, the

00:36:21.060 legally elected

00:36:22.300 president of

00:36:23.320 the United

00:36:23.500 States and to

00:36:25.000 illegally keep

00:36:25.840 him out of

00:36:26.180 office with

00:36:26.740 lawfare.

00:36:27.700 So they're the

00:36:28.480 criminals.

00:36:29.320 These are the

00:36:29.680 people that may

00:36:30.540 not have broken

00:36:31.100 an actual law,

00:36:32.920 but if you

00:36:33.620 looked at the

00:36:34.200 totality of

00:36:35.260 their actions,

00:36:36.520 all criminal.

00:36:37.540 Now, what's

00:36:38.560 useful about

00:36:39.300 canceling the

00:36:40.420 security clearance

00:36:42.280 is that it

00:36:43.980 helps you

00:36:44.420 identify the

00:36:46.420 criminal conspiracy.

00:36:48.400 Now, again,

00:36:48.820 this is my

00:36:49.480 view of it.

00:36:51.100 So this is,

00:36:52.060 you know,

00:36:52.300 allegedly and

00:36:53.420 speculatively,

00:36:54.400 it's a

00:36:55.300 conspiracy.

00:36:56.320 But to me,

00:36:57.100 it looks very

00:36:57.660 much like they

00:36:58.300 coordinated and

00:36:59.620 I'd be literally

00:37:00.620 amazed if it

00:37:02.060 were not, you

00:37:02.960 know, proven at

00:37:03.660 some point.

00:37:04.140 But here are

00:37:05.160 some of the

00:37:05.500 characters who

00:37:06.220 are losing

00:37:06.740 their security

00:37:08.680 clearance.

00:37:09.420 Anthony Blinken,

00:37:11.800 yes.

00:37:14.000 Letitia James,

00:37:15.560 Alvin Bragg,

00:37:17.220 yes and yes.

00:37:18.580 Jake Sullivan,

00:37:21.380 I don't know

00:37:21.800 who,

00:37:23.720 Deputy Attorney

00:37:24.880 General,

00:37:25.400 Lisa Monaco,

00:37:26.160 she was Deputy

00:37:26.860 Attorney General

00:37:27.640 under Biden.

00:37:28.360 and then

00:37:29.940 attorneys,

00:37:31.240 Andrew Weissman,

00:37:33.080 Mark Zaid,

00:37:34.160 and Norm Eisen.

00:37:36.460 Now, that's

00:37:37.340 interesting.

00:37:38.540 Why did they

00:37:39.120 have security

00:37:39.780 clearance?

00:37:41.120 They're the

00:37:41.680 most anti-Trump

00:37:43.140 people on

00:37:46.820 MSN

00:37:47.160 criminal

00:37:51.820 organization.

00:37:52.960 So this is

00:37:53.860 one way to

00:37:54.500 identify all

00:37:55.280 the prairie

00:37:55.880 dogs who

00:37:57.340 have been

00:37:58.000 doing what

00:38:00.120 looks like a

00:38:00.800 criminal

00:38:01.100 conspiracy.

00:38:02.680 So I'll

00:38:03.460 just keep

00:38:03.820 saying it

00:38:04.200 looks like

00:38:04.680 one.

00:38:05.840 From as

00:38:06.860 far as we

00:38:07.420 can tell

00:38:07.840 from our

00:38:08.300 perspective,

00:38:08.900 it looks like

00:38:09.480 it was a

00:38:09.840 criminal

00:38:10.140 conspiracy

00:38:10.820 and it's

00:38:12.480 been going

00:38:12.820 on for

00:38:13.140 years.

00:38:14.600 Is it?

00:38:15.440 Well, we'll

00:38:15.920 find out.

00:38:17.280 But it

00:38:17.600 looks like

00:38:17.980 it.

00:38:19.960 So Trump

00:38:20.820 has ordered

00:38:21.600 the Secret

00:38:22.140 Service to

00:38:23.940 give him

00:38:24.740 every bit of

00:38:25.980 information they

00:38:26.580 have about

00:38:27.080 his would-be

00:38:27.800 assassins,

00:38:28.840 the two

00:38:29.260 attempts on

00:38:29.920 his life.

00:38:31.560 Now, here's

00:38:32.340 my first

00:38:32.740 question.

00:38:34.220 Wait a

00:38:34.700 minute.

00:38:35.380 How long

00:38:35.980 has Trump

00:38:36.360 been president

00:38:36.900 now?

00:38:37.300 I know it's

00:38:37.680 only a few

00:38:38.140 weeks, but

00:38:39.560 are you telling

00:38:39.960 me he still

00:38:40.740 doesn't know

00:38:41.580 everything to

00:38:43.100 be known about

00:38:43.840 the assassination

00:38:44.800 attempts on

00:38:45.560 his life?

00:38:47.400 What?

00:38:49.920 Shouldn't

00:38:50.400 that be like

00:38:51.060 one of the

00:38:51.620 first meetings?

00:38:53.480 So now he's

00:38:54.460 ordered them

00:38:55.160 to tell him

00:38:55.640 everything.

00:38:56.860 It's in the

00:38:57.620 New York

00:38:57.880 Post, Miranda

00:38:58.580 Divine.

00:38:59.840 Yeah, he's

00:39:00.420 writing about

00:39:00.840 that.

00:39:01.760 And he

00:39:02.740 said, I'm

00:39:03.180 entitled to

00:39:03.800 know.

00:39:04.740 Of course

00:39:05.500 he's entitled

00:39:06.100 to know.

00:39:08.400 Yes.

00:39:09.320 Yes.

00:39:09.860 He's the

00:39:10.300 president of

00:39:10.940 the whole

00:39:11.200 United States.

00:39:12.340 He's entitled

00:39:13.200 to know what

00:39:14.940 the people in

00:39:15.680 the executive

00:39:16.280 branch know

00:39:17.300 about his

00:39:17.820 assassination

00:39:18.320 attempt.

00:39:19.020 Why did

00:39:19.900 he even

00:39:20.220 have to

00:39:20.540 ask for

00:39:21.140 it?

00:39:22.320 My God.

00:39:23.740 Do you

00:39:24.000 think they're

00:39:24.360 going to

00:39:24.580 give it to

00:39:24.940 him if

00:39:25.280 it's something

00:39:26.280 that would

00:39:26.660 implicate any

00:39:27.580 of the people

00:39:28.000 who have

00:39:28.360 it?

00:39:29.240 No.

00:39:30.920 I don't

00:39:31.540 think he's

00:39:31.900 going to

00:39:32.140 get it,

00:39:33.060 but it

00:39:33.360 certainly

00:39:33.600 makes sense

00:39:34.160 that he

00:39:35.160 asked for

00:39:35.540 it.

00:39:37.920 Well,

00:39:38.460 Elizabeth

00:39:38.860 Warren was,

00:39:40.180 some say,

00:39:41.960 destroyed by

00:39:42.820 the community

00:39:43.680 notes on

00:39:44.220 X.

00:39:45.200 So in a

00:39:46.180 little video

00:39:47.380 bite, she 1.00

00:39:48.640 was,

00:39:49.020 she was

00:39:50.340 saying that

00:39:50.980 she doesn't

00:39:51.520 take any

00:39:51.980 money from

00:39:52.800 Big Pharma.

00:39:54.780 But apparently

00:39:55.840 her political

00:39:58.120 action committee

00:39:58.940 does take

00:39:59.540 money from

00:40:00.160 Big Pharma

00:40:01.380 executives.

00:40:03.140 And at

00:40:05.100 one point

00:40:05.600 she was

00:40:06.100 against the

00:40:07.280 political

00:40:08.100 action

00:40:08.620 committees,

00:40:09.300 the PACs.

00:40:10.400 But she

00:40:11.400 said, if

00:40:12.000 other people

00:40:12.460 have them,

00:40:13.020 well, everybody

00:40:13.900 has to have

00:40:14.360 one to make

00:40:14.980 it fair.

00:40:15.860 So she

00:40:16.240 has one.

00:40:17.440 So yes,

00:40:18.280 she and

00:40:19.440 Bernie Sanders

00:40:20.560 apparently

00:40:21.060 have, are

00:40:22.520 two of the

00:40:22.940 biggest

00:40:23.180 recipients of

00:40:25.100 pharma money

00:40:25.880 to PACs.

00:40:27.040 Now,

00:40:27.540 technically,

00:40:28.180 that money

00:40:28.880 isn't going

00:40:29.320 to them

00:40:29.760 because the

00:40:30.440 PAC has

00:40:31.600 to be a

00:40:32.600 little hands-free,

00:40:33.920 you know,

00:40:34.100 or what we

00:40:35.560 say, there's

00:40:36.360 got to be a

00:40:37.140 little distance

00:40:37.780 so that the

00:40:38.860 candidate doesn't

00:40:39.660 directly control

00:40:40.420 the money.

00:40:40.780 but the PAC

00:40:41.900 is only

00:40:42.300 designed for

00:40:43.780 the benefit

00:40:44.200 of the

00:40:44.460 candidate,

00:40:45.020 one candidate

00:40:45.760 in particular.

00:40:46.480 That's all

00:40:47.220 it is.

00:40:48.300 So the

00:40:49.000 fact that the

00:40:49.520 candidate doesn't

00:40:50.260 have direct

00:40:51.400 control doesn't

00:40:52.880 mean a lot

00:40:53.440 because presumably

00:40:54.800 the people in

00:40:55.460 the PAC have

00:40:56.100 enough coordination

00:40:57.260 with the people

00:40:57.980 who are not

00:40:58.380 in the PAC to

00:40:59.560 find out what

00:41:00.400 messages the

00:41:01.780 leader would

00:41:02.220 like them to

00:41:02.760 give, even

00:41:03.320 if it's not

00:41:03.940 direct order.

00:41:05.980 They would

00:41:06.320 know.

00:41:07.120 So it acts

00:41:08.260 as though it's

00:41:08.720 the same as

00:41:09.220 if they were

00:41:09.600 directing them.

00:41:10.780 At least in

00:41:12.440 some part.

00:41:14.780 So yeah,

00:41:15.700 can't trust

00:41:16.120 anybody.

00:41:16.760 When I found

00:41:17.500 out my friend

00:41:18.140 got a great

00:41:18.820 deal on a

00:41:19.440 wool coat

00:41:19.840 from Winners,

00:41:20.720 I started

00:41:21.460 wondering,

00:41:22.360 is every

00:41:23.200 fabulous item

00:41:23.980 I see from

00:41:24.640 Winners?

00:41:25.460 Like that

00:41:25.980 woman over 0.99

00:41:26.480 there with

00:41:26.940 the designer

00:41:27.380 jeans.

00:41:28.200 Are those

00:41:28.800 from Winners?

00:41:29.740 Ooh,

00:41:30.360 are those

00:41:30.700 beautiful gold

00:41:31.300 earrings?

00:41:32.160 Did she pay 0.97

00:41:32.600 full price?

00:41:33.540 Or that leather

00:41:34.000 tote?

00:41:34.540 Or that cashmere

00:41:35.140 sweater?

00:41:35.740 Or those knee-high

00:41:36.380 boots?

00:41:37.220 That dress?

00:41:38.000 That jacket?

00:41:38.680 Those shoes?

00:41:39.700 Is anyone

00:41:40.480 paying full

00:41:41.120 price for

00:41:41.700 anything?

00:41:42.660 Stop

00:41:43.140 wondering.

00:41:43.940 Start winning.

00:41:44.860 Winners find

00:41:45.660 fabulous for

00:41:46.460 less.

00:41:47.200 Meanwhile,

00:41:47.940 Rick Grinnell.

00:41:49.700 Every time

00:41:50.460 Rick Grinnell

00:41:51.080 is in the

00:41:51.580 news,

00:41:52.280 it feels like

00:41:53.120 something good's

00:41:53.800 going to happen.

00:41:54.740 Have you noticed

00:41:55.260 that?

00:41:56.220 Like he's almost

00:41:56.820 never in the

00:41:57.460 news unless

00:41:58.980 there's some

00:42:00.020 new victory.

00:42:02.220 So he's

00:42:02.880 saying that

00:42:03.720 Radio Free

00:42:04.320 Europe and

00:42:04.920 Voice of

00:42:05.320 America are

00:42:05.820 media outlets

00:42:06.500 paid for

00:42:07.600 by the

00:42:07.980 American

00:42:08.300 taxpayers,

00:42:09.880 but they're

00:42:11.460 filled with

00:42:11.860 far-left

00:42:12.300 activists,

00:42:13.140 and he

00:42:13.340 just thinks

00:42:14.040 it's a relic

00:42:14.660 of the past,

00:42:15.300 and they

00:42:15.460 should just

00:42:15.740 be eliminated.

00:42:18.360 And that's,

00:42:19.260 yeah,

00:42:19.780 should just be

00:42:20.340 eliminated.

00:42:22.200 So,

00:42:23.080 correct me if

00:42:24.860 I'm wrong,

00:42:25.200 but I think

00:42:25.560 Carrie Lake

00:42:26.280 is in charge

00:42:27.960 of Voice of

00:42:28.560 America.

00:42:28.900 Now,

00:42:29.540 what Voice of

00:42:30.020 America and

00:42:30.600 Radio Free

00:42:31.020 Europe do is

00:42:32.320 they're propaganda,

00:42:34.240 and by the

00:42:35.540 way,

00:42:35.740 that's not

00:42:36.140 just my

00:42:36.600 opinion,

00:42:37.160 that's literally

00:42:38.060 what they're

00:42:38.500 for,

00:42:39.200 it's propaganda

00:42:40.080 to other

00:42:40.840 countries.

00:42:42.320 But who's

00:42:43.120 listening to

00:42:43.700 the radio

00:42:44.520 in 2025?

00:42:48.740 I think

00:42:49.500 people are

00:42:49.880 just listening

00:42:50.340 to podcasts,

00:42:51.460 and I don't

00:42:52.720 think these

00:42:53.240 could possibly

00:42:54.360 make any

00:42:55.020 difference.

00:42:56.340 I mean,

00:42:56.860 their reach

00:42:57.460 can't be that

00:42:58.140 important.

00:42:59.480 And it's

00:43:00.060 a bunch

00:43:00.320 of leftists

00:43:00.940 running them,

00:43:01.680 so who

00:43:02.020 knows if

00:43:02.420 they're even

00:43:02.780 saying things

00:43:03.300 we want

00:43:03.680 them to

00:43:03.940 say.

00:43:04.760 So I

00:43:05.240 think having

00:43:05.800 Carrie Lake

00:43:06.560 head of

00:43:07.520 Voice of

00:43:07.960 America,

00:43:09.500 you know,

00:43:11.380 since she

00:43:11.740 is pro-Trump,

00:43:13.620 she would be

00:43:14.100 the perfect

00:43:14.560 person to

00:43:15.200 wind it

00:43:15.700 down if

00:43:16.100 it needs

00:43:16.400 to be

00:43:16.640 wound down.

00:43:18.200 So every

00:43:20.340 time we

00:43:21.080 identify another

00:43:22.260 entity of the

00:43:23.040 government,

00:43:23.620 then maybe

00:43:23.960 she should

00:43:24.380 just go

00:43:24.900 away.

00:43:25.680 It's kind

00:43:26.220 of exciting.

00:43:26.700 It feels

00:43:29.600 good every

00:43:30.300 time we

00:43:31.420 say,

00:43:31.740 how about

00:43:31.940 we just

00:43:32.240 get rid

00:43:32.660 of this

00:43:32.940 entirely?

00:43:34.160 It just

00:43:34.520 feels right

00:43:35.160 every time.

00:43:35.780 well, let's

00:43:39.580 see, Governor

00:43:40.760 Newsom is

00:43:41.440 telling the

00:43:41.960 residents of

00:43:42.720 the Pacific

00:43:43.380 Palisades,

00:43:44.180 where the

00:43:44.380 big fire

00:43:44.760 was, that

00:43:46.100 you can't

00:43:46.680 rebuild with

00:43:47.320 the same

00:43:48.180 houses you

00:43:48.720 had, because

00:43:49.420 it would

00:43:51.020 still be

00:43:51.380 dangerous.

00:43:52.200 They would

00:43:52.440 burn down

00:43:52.860 again, where

00:43:54.140 there would be

00:43:54.440 a risk.

00:43:54.840 we have

00:43:55.500 to rebuild

00:43:55.980 with science.

00:43:57.100 We have

00:43:57.480 to build

00:43:57.820 with climate

00:43:58.420 reality in

00:43:59.100 mind.

00:44:00.140 Well, I

00:44:00.640 have mixed

00:44:01.020 feelings about

00:44:01.560 that.

00:44:02.220 Number one, I

00:44:03.080 don't like any

00:44:03.820 delay to

00:44:05.540 people getting

00:44:06.800 their lives

00:44:07.340 back.

00:44:08.460 But it

00:44:10.100 wouldn't

00:44:10.360 really make

00:44:10.920 sense to

00:44:11.880 rebuild a

00:44:12.820 fire hazard,

00:44:13.920 would it?

00:44:15.360 So, on

00:44:16.360 one hand, I

00:44:17.760 don't like the

00:44:18.340 fact that he's

00:44:19.020 insisting there

00:44:19.740 would be

00:44:19.960 something that

00:44:20.560 would delay

00:44:21.160 things.

00:44:21.980 On the

00:44:22.280 other hand,

00:44:23.700 doesn't it

00:44:24.300 kind of

00:44:24.620 make sense?

00:44:26.220 But here's

00:44:26.800 why this is

00:44:27.680 an interesting

00:44:28.180 story.

00:44:29.320 We're right

00:44:29.940 at the exact

00:44:31.760 place in

00:44:32.440 history where

00:44:34.000 AI should

00:44:34.740 solve this

00:44:35.280 problem.

00:44:36.360 Here's what

00:44:36.980 should happen.

00:44:38.660 Hey, AI, I'm

00:44:40.200 going to give

00:44:40.560 you the house

00:44:41.420 plans and

00:44:42.840 the dimensions

00:44:43.500 of the house

00:44:44.940 that used to

00:44:45.480 be on this

00:44:45.880 plot.

00:44:47.080 Can you

00:44:47.460 redesign one

00:44:48.320 that has

00:44:49.020 perfect fire

00:44:50.160 control and

00:44:52.000 climate change

00:44:53.040 and is good

00:44:53.560 on energy?

00:44:55.040 It has the

00:44:55.460 same number

00:44:55.900 of bedrooms,

00:44:56.620 same number

00:44:57.060 of bathrooms,

00:44:58.020 or maybe

00:44:58.400 add a

00:44:58.700 bathroom.

00:44:59.160 Yeah, yeah,

00:44:59.940 because we

00:45:00.320 can go 10%

00:45:01.080 bigger.

00:45:01.560 So, add a

00:45:01.880 bathroom and

00:45:03.360 maybe add a

00:45:04.360 home office.

00:45:08.140 And it will

00:45:08.440 be 10% bigger,

00:45:09.940 but that's

00:45:10.400 allowed now.

00:45:11.360 Now, use the

00:45:12.000 same property.

00:45:13.200 Start with the

00:45:13.840 old house as

00:45:14.920 your guide and

00:45:16.040 now give me a

00:45:16.980 whole new design

00:45:17.800 that meets all

00:45:19.000 of the building

00:45:19.520 codes and is

00:45:21.260 fire safe.

00:45:22.080 climate risk

00:45:26.820 minimized.

00:45:30.220 Don't we

00:45:30.920 already have

00:45:31.360 that?

00:45:31.600 Are you

00:45:33.160 telling me that

00:45:33.740 there's no

00:45:34.380 large architect

00:45:37.880 firm that has

00:45:39.860 already made big

00:45:41.080 inroads with AI?

00:45:43.080 Couldn't you

00:45:43.520 take the, I

00:45:45.880 assume that

00:45:46.520 there are

00:45:46.760 probably public

00:45:48.380 blueprints?

00:45:51.100 And don't

00:45:51.660 you think that

00:45:52.260 the government

00:45:52.880 should be able

00:45:54.160 to take the

00:45:54.740 AI design thing,

00:45:56.280 run it by some

00:45:57.000 human experts to

00:45:58.040 make sure the

00:45:58.500 AI is doing it

00:45:59.200 right, but just

00:46:00.420 sort of check

00:46:01.200 its work.

00:46:02.200 Just kind of

00:46:02.940 quickly look at

00:46:03.660 it and go,

00:46:03.980 yeah, okay,

00:46:04.660 oh yeah, yeah,

00:46:05.580 you got that

00:46:06.060 right.

00:46:06.520 Yep, yep,

00:46:07.360 that's right.

00:46:08.420 And then maybe

00:46:09.320 at some point you

00:46:09.980 don't need to

00:46:10.400 check it.

00:46:11.680 Probably that

00:46:12.300 point won't

00:46:12.780 come quickly.

00:46:14.200 But isn't

00:46:15.640 this completely

00:46:16.740 solvable with

00:46:18.000 AI?

00:46:19.240 If I were a

00:46:20.000 homeowner, that's

00:46:20.800 the first thing

00:46:21.320 I'd look for.

00:46:22.020 I'd say, here's

00:46:22.700 my plans, run

00:46:24.360 it through the

00:46:24.800 AI, and fix

00:46:26.040 it, and then

00:46:27.180 just feed it

00:46:27.800 back to me, and

00:46:29.220 then I'll start

00:46:29.740 building.

00:46:31.140 I don't know.

00:46:31.960 This is where I'd

00:46:32.780 like to see a big

00:46:33.520 AI company step

00:46:35.260 in and say, can

00:46:36.400 you give us 10

00:46:37.040 minutes on this?

00:46:38.000 Just give us 10

00:46:38.820 minutes to work on

00:46:39.600 this.

00:46:39.840 We'll see what we

00:46:40.360 can do.

00:46:41.100 We'll do a couple

00:46:41.700 of prototypes and

00:46:43.620 see if, you know,

00:46:45.140 I guess it would

00:46:45.620 have to train the

00:46:47.740 AI on California's

00:46:49.860 all of its

00:46:50.740 building codes and

00:46:51.820 the most local

00:46:53.040 ones.

00:46:53.840 Then you tell it

00:46:54.840 that it's an extra

00:46:55.760 fire risk where it

00:46:56.880 is, and you tell

00:46:58.640 it you want it to

00:46:59.320 be efficient for

00:47:00.280 energy, et cetera,

00:47:01.140 but not crazy, so

00:47:02.360 it can't be more

00:47:02.960 expensive for the

00:47:03.680 homeowner.

00:47:04.800 And then you just

00:47:07.360 teach it architecture.

00:47:10.740 It should be able to

00:47:11.880 make sure that you've

00:47:12.800 got the right load

00:47:14.060 bearing walls and

00:47:14.900 everything else.

00:47:16.760 Anyway, speaking of

00:47:19.040 AI, I guess AI is

00:47:20.520 starting to hurt

00:47:22.660 Google because

00:47:23.560 Google's regular

00:47:24.580 search engine is

00:47:26.540 dropping off.

00:47:28.000 I will tell you

00:47:28.960 that I've stopped

00:47:29.800 using Google for

00:47:31.600 almost everything.

00:47:35.020 I still use Gmail

00:47:36.380 because it's my

00:47:37.100 email, but the

00:47:39.160 thought of going to

00:47:39.980 Google and doing a

00:47:40.900 Google search, it

00:47:42.740 doesn't even make

00:47:43.280 sense.

00:47:44.780 It would be like

00:47:45.860 just traveling back

00:47:47.520 in time.

00:47:50.160 So I use

00:47:51.120 perplexity, and

00:47:53.500 it's great.

00:47:55.120 I use perplexity so

00:47:56.700 often that sometimes

00:47:58.260 I'll leave it open

00:47:59.040 when I'm preparing my

00:47:59.960 notes for the show,

00:48:00.920 and there'll be all

00:48:02.120 these questions where

00:48:02.940 I'll need some

00:48:03.400 context.

00:48:04.120 So later I'm going

00:48:05.180 to talk about some

00:48:06.120 climate change

00:48:07.360 measuring stations.

00:48:09.500 And so I say

00:48:10.380 things like, huh,

00:48:11.180 I wonder how many

00:48:12.680 climate change

00:48:13.800 thermometer measuring

00:48:15.720 stations there are.

00:48:17.100 So I just reach over

00:48:18.140 and touch perplexity.

00:48:20.060 You know, you have to

00:48:20.680 hold that in the

00:48:21.120 bottom.

00:48:21.440 I say, how many of

00:48:22.420 these temperature

00:48:23.080 measurements are there

00:48:24.020 for the national

00:48:24.980 oceanic AA, whatever

00:48:26.840 it is?

00:48:27.720 And it comes back and

00:48:28.620 tells me.

00:48:29.920 You can't beat that.

00:48:31.680 If you tried to do

00:48:32.760 that same thing with

00:48:33.680 Google, it would give

00:48:35.220 you a page of

00:48:36.340 sponsored answers.

00:48:37.920 You're like, oh,

00:48:38.640 sponsored, never

00:48:39.380 mind.

00:48:39.780 Okay, sponsored,

00:48:40.960 never mind.

00:48:42.080 Okay.

00:48:42.780 Oh, that's, there

00:48:43.440 it is.

00:48:43.800 Now that's sponsored.

00:48:45.020 And then you're

00:48:45.800 pissed off by the

00:48:46.600 time you get to one

00:48:47.260 that's not sponsored

00:48:48.180 because you can't

00:48:49.200 trust the sponsored

00:48:49.960 ones.

00:48:50.660 And then you get

00:48:51.520 to, oh, some

00:48:53.040 people say this and

00:48:54.000 some people say that

00:48:54.920 and some people say

00:48:55.660 you, and it just,

00:48:56.680 it's like you can't

00:48:57.680 even find anything.

00:48:59.380 But AI just tells

00:49:00.620 you the answer.

00:49:01.880 Perplexity does

00:49:02.560 anyway.

00:49:03.960 So if I could

00:49:05.260 invest in

00:49:06.040 perplexity, I

00:49:06.840 think it's, I

00:49:07.480 don't think it's

00:49:07.960 public.

00:49:08.660 But if I

00:49:09.640 could, I

00:49:09.960 would.

00:49:12.620 Speaking of

00:49:13.420 which.

00:49:27.240 Scotiabank, you're

00:49:28.800 think.

00:49:30.660 So did you

00:49:31.840 know that I

00:49:35.000 want to tell you

00:49:35.520 how the

00:49:35.940 temperature is

00:49:37.740 determined for

00:49:39.380 climate change.

00:49:41.480 So this is going

00:49:42.600 to get easier.

00:49:43.360 The more the

00:49:44.260 doge works on

00:49:45.540 the government,

00:49:46.380 the easier it

00:49:47.840 will be to

00:49:48.380 convince people

00:49:49.080 that climate

00:49:49.620 change, at

00:49:51.840 least the

00:49:52.200 models, are

00:49:53.460 fake.

00:49:54.820 Because once you

00:49:55.780 learn that

00:49:56.180 everything's fake,

00:49:57.720 it's going to be

00:49:58.640 hard to say, oh,

00:49:59.460 everything but

00:50:00.100 climate change is

00:50:00.920 fake.

00:50:01.220 That's a

00:50:04.260 little harder to

00:50:04.980 believe.

00:50:05.460 If you think

00:50:06.060 everything's true,

00:50:07.440 then it's easy to

00:50:09.180 say everything's

00:50:10.180 true, including

00:50:11.360 climate change,

00:50:12.420 because it's in the

00:50:13.100 category of

00:50:13.600 everything.

00:50:14.420 Everything's true

00:50:15.100 that the government

00:50:16.200 tells us and

00:50:16.920 science backs.

00:50:18.820 But what if

00:50:19.940 everything that the

00:50:20.960 government and

00:50:21.540 science tells you

00:50:22.280 isn't true, which

00:50:23.820 is closer to the

00:50:24.720 truth, it's not

00:50:25.400 everything, but it's

00:50:26.580 a lot closer to the

00:50:27.520 truth, most of it's

00:50:28.660 fake, and always

00:50:29.840 has been, then

00:50:31.120 once you realize

00:50:31.800 that, then it's a

00:50:32.600 lot easier to

00:50:33.220 realize that, oh,

00:50:35.060 maybe something's

00:50:35.680 going on here.

00:50:36.680 So let me tell

00:50:37.220 you just, I'll just

00:50:38.080 give you a hint of

00:50:38.820 it, all right?

00:50:40.280 So you know that

00:50:41.260 for climate change,

00:50:42.700 they have all these

00:50:43.500 temperature measuring

00:50:46.240 stations, and

00:50:48.200 there's been an

00:50:48.880 estimate, I think,

00:50:49.520 by Heartland, I

00:50:52.100 think Heartland

00:50:52.620 estimated that 96%

00:50:54.460 of the temperature

00:50:56.300 measuring things are

00:50:57.480 now affected by the

00:50:58.740 heat island effect,

00:50:59.900 meaning that the

00:51:01.640 city expanded over

00:51:03.180 time, and because

00:51:04.980 cities have concrete

00:51:06.040 and such, if you're

00:51:07.280 anywhere near it, the

00:51:09.080 wind will eventually

00:51:10.620 blow some warm air

00:51:11.660 from that heat

00:51:12.320 island, and it will

00:51:13.180 artificially make your

00:51:14.200 temperature go up.

00:51:15.440 Now, since the

00:51:16.380 measurements, I think,

00:51:18.440 look at highs and

00:51:19.480 lows, more than

00:51:20.700 average, all it does

00:51:23.020 is give you a high

00:51:23.880 that's not a real

00:51:24.920 high.

00:51:25.460 It's just because of

00:51:26.440 the heat island move

00:51:27.580 closer to it, but

00:51:29.520 then some of them

00:51:32.360 have been

00:51:32.680 decommissioned, so

00:51:34.820 some of them don't

00:51:35.660 exist anymore, but

00:51:37.620 they still record a

00:51:38.700 temperature for them,

00:51:40.660 and I'll tell you how

00:51:41.820 they do that.

00:51:42.900 This is a real thing.

00:51:44.500 There are a number of

00:51:45.380 them that don't exist

00:51:46.320 anymore.

00:51:46.860 They used to exist

00:51:47.660 historically, so they 0.69

00:51:49.360 still create a number

00:51:50.440 for them, even

00:51:52.800 though they don't

00:51:53.320 exist.

00:51:53.700 And then some of

00:51:56.320 them, the paint on

00:51:57.940 the outside of the

00:51:58.820 measuring, it was

00:52:00.760 like a kiosk, if you

00:52:01.940 will, when the paint

00:52:03.900 wears off, it changes

00:52:05.980 the temperature

00:52:06.600 inside, because if

00:52:08.400 you painted it white

00:52:09.460 on day one, the

00:52:11.840 white is going to 0.96

00:52:12.800 reflect a certain

00:52:14.320 amount of heat, but

00:52:16.680 if the paint comes

00:52:18.420 off, then it's less

00:52:20.380 white and it's

00:52:21.260 reflecting less heat,

00:52:22.560 it's going to be

00:52:23.260 warmer.

00:52:24.100 So you've got several

00:52:25.140 things to adjust for.

00:52:26.900 So how do they make

00:52:27.960 all those adjustments

00:52:28.860 to get the right

00:52:30.240 temperature?

00:52:30.840 Well, there are

00:52:32.660 9,000 stations that

00:52:36.060 measure the

00:52:36.560 temperature, but it's

00:52:40.220 fairly common to use

00:52:41.440 a subset of those,

00:52:42.760 1,200 of them.

00:52:44.900 Now, if there are

00:52:45.960 9,000, why would you

00:52:48.560 ever choose to use

00:52:50.460 only 1,200 of them?

00:52:51.480 Well, that means that

00:52:54.340 one of them is

00:52:55.060 considered wrong and

00:52:56.760 one of them is

00:52:57.300 considered right.

00:52:58.620 Because if you have

00:52:59.480 access to 9,000, you've

00:53:01.660 got all the data, it's

00:53:03.140 not like you have to go

00:53:03.880 read the temperature

00:53:05.140 every time you need to

00:53:06.120 do a model.

00:53:06.940 it's public information.

00:53:09.720 So why would there be a

00:53:11.440 subset that they use

00:53:13.020 instead of the whole

00:53:15.100 thing every time?

00:53:16.680 I can't think of any

00:53:17.720 good reason, can you?

00:53:19.660 Unless one of them is

00:53:21.480 not accurate, like the

00:53:23.620 9,000.

00:53:24.220 Is it possible that you

00:53:27.900 can get a better answer

00:53:29.040 with 1,200 stations that

00:53:31.580 are a subset of the

00:53:32.680 9,000?

00:53:34.140 Are there so many bad

00:53:36.100 measuring stations that

00:53:37.420 you're better if you

00:53:38.160 don't use most of them?

00:53:40.540 Well, I don't know.

00:53:42.100 So that's just a

00:53:43.200 question.

00:53:45.900 But this network has

00:53:48.980 been largely superseded.

00:53:50.400 These are answers from

00:53:51.800 perplexity, right?

00:53:54.160 So it gave me some

00:53:55.220 background.

00:53:58.580 Let me tell you how

00:53:59.460 they make some

00:53:59.920 adjustments.

00:54:00.880 This is from

00:54:01.640 perplexity.

00:54:02.600 For example, NOAA's

00:54:05.260 Global Historical

00:54:06.460 Climatology Network and

00:54:08.740 the newer one, that's

00:54:10.660 the, I guess that's the

00:54:11.640 subset database, they

00:54:13.260 quote, use sophisticated

00:54:15.100 algorithms to estimate

00:54:17.500 missing data points.

00:54:19.440 How do you use a

00:54:22.320 sophisticated algorithm to

00:54:24.460 estimate the temperature

00:54:25.680 where you're not

00:54:26.780 measuring it?

00:54:28.480 Do you believe that's

00:54:29.660 a thing?

00:54:30.840 Well, what they do is

00:54:32.020 something like look at

00:54:33.340 the closest other

00:54:35.420 temperatures and then

00:54:37.720 they make essentially an

00:54:39.940 assumption of what it

00:54:43.100 might have been if it

00:54:43.920 existed.

00:54:45.360 Do you trust that?

00:54:46.880 Does that sound like

00:54:47.820 real science?

00:54:49.040 Well, we don't have

00:54:50.120 the numbers, so we'll

00:54:51.260 make an assumption of

00:54:52.140 what the numbers would

00:54:52.940 have been.

00:54:57.700 And they include

00:55:00.500 stations that are no

00:55:01.840 longer operational.

00:55:03.200 They just adjust using

00:55:04.600 their sophisticated

00:55:05.420 algorithms based on

00:55:08.120 nearby stations and

00:55:09.260 historical trends.

00:55:11.100 Huh.

00:55:12.140 The historical trend is

00:55:13.960 what you're trying to

00:55:14.720 discover.

00:55:15.280 You're not using the

00:55:17.500 historical trend to

00:55:18.700 tell you what the

00:55:19.240 temperature is today.

00:55:21.240 If you're using the

00:55:22.360 historical trend to

00:55:23.760 figure out what the

00:55:24.420 temperature is today,

00:55:25.840 how can you use the

00:55:27.380 temperature today to

00:55:28.820 tell you what the

00:55:29.460 historical trend is?

00:55:31.960 Does that make sense?

00:55:33.800 Using the trend to

00:55:35.480 figure out the

00:55:36.020 temperature today, but

00:55:37.240 you're also using the

00:55:38.040 temperature today to

00:55:39.140 tell you what the

00:55:39.680 trend was.

00:55:40.220 okay using your sophisticated algorithms to give you temperatures that don't exist

00:55:47.240 all right all right this all sounds legit

00:55:50.740 um and then a 20 here's here's the best part this is also from perplexity a 2010 study

00:56:00.200 published in the journal of geophysical research and other analyses have indicated that

00:56:06.300 noah's adjusted temperature data aligns well oh okay good this is good news it aligns well

00:56:13.920 with measurements from stations that meet optimal sighting standards excellent okay so they've done

00:56:19.840 some double checking so they know that the temperatures they use they do align with

00:56:24.900 stations that meet optimal sighting standards suggesting that the estimation processes do not

00:56:30.940 significantly distort long-term climate change so that's pretty good so in other words you can

00:56:39.500 determine the temperature without measuring it all you have to do is use your sophisticated algorithms

00:56:47.680 so how are they testing that any of this is real because if you don't have a standard that you know

00:56:56.700 is real what are you comparing it to to know that it's right how does any of it make sense

00:57:03.280 am i making my point yet that none of this sounds legitimate it literally sounds like people saying

00:57:14.180 uh our data is all bad but we're not going to get funding for climate science and change the world and

00:57:20.740 keep our jobs unless we use our sophisticated algorithms to come up with temperature measurements

00:57:27.600 that don't exist so could it really be that you've got 9 000 measuring points but you only use 1200

00:57:34.720 but somehow you know the 1200 is as good as 9 000 that doesn't make sense can you really

00:57:42.700 estimate the history from today's if the today's is determined by the history i don't know

00:57:49.320 so i don't believe that any of this is real and i'm only scratching the surface the real problem

00:57:58.040 with the models is that if there are any variables that change it and the variables are based on

00:58:02.960 assumptions if you have a hundred if you have a hundred climate models that means you don't believe

00:58:11.480 the climate models because if you believe that climate modeling was real there would be one that's the

00:58:18.060 best and then that would be the end of the story if there are a hundred and they're all arguing that

00:58:23.940 theirs is the best well then there's something wrong they're making different assumptions and

00:58:31.140 getting different answers but then the the climate change experts will say scott you know i i think you're

00:58:37.860 being disingenuous if you look at all of the climate models they do they do cluster around the same

00:58:45.020 zone so even though they're different you know they're directionally pretty similar to which i say

00:58:52.320 no they're not no they're not you fucking liar you just throw away the ones that are not in that 0.99

00:58:59.020 little zone if i created a model that wasn't in that zone it would never get published because i would

00:59:05.460 i would be laughed at i would be driven out of the entire business so no they're not directionally

00:59:12.520 aligned the ones that are not in that little band are just going to be tossed out that's why you have

00:59:17.860 a hundred of them because there might have started with a thousand they stopped with a hundred

00:59:22.400 anyway um in other news there's a company that's figured out a way to turn heat into electricity

00:59:32.320 which of course has always been a thing if you had enough heat you could heat water the water would

00:59:37.720 turn into steam it would turn a turbine so heat has always been you know in effect a way to create

00:59:45.220 energy but not that efficiently so apparently there's this new company according to interesting

00:59:51.500 engineering uh tpv technologies they have figured out how to convert heat into electricity more

00:59:58.460 efficiently than any current device so that seems like a really small story but when you think about

01:00:06.600 how much heat there is in the world that's not being used for anything now you might be able to just

01:00:12.120 take advantage of any heat that's kind of a big deal if you could turn any significant heat into energy

01:00:20.780 fairly easily i don't know that seems like a big big deal um and then my favorite story

01:00:29.260 is that there's a startup according to zme science there's a startup that's figuring out how to put milk

01:00:37.060 protein into a potato so if you grow this potato you'll have protein not just carbs now i know what

01:00:46.020 you're saying i don't need no frankenstein food keep your artificially created potato away from me 0.91

01:00:52.580 i don't want a potato that tastes like milk i won't live in a small house soiling green is people 0.99

01:01:00.740 swimming is the best exercise don't take all of my co2 out of the air because it's plant food 1.00

01:01:08.780 so i know you don't like the idea but here's what i think i think one of the biggest things in the

01:01:17.840 world would be if we could figure out how to grow some kind of a small compact plant that had a good

01:01:25.560 protein to it then you could do an indoor garden and you could have what you need at the moment if

01:01:33.660 you had an indoor farm and you wanted to grow things that had good protein as well as carbs

01:01:40.160 there's no practical way to do it because there are plenty of things that do have protein in them

01:01:46.340 but they take you know immense amount of space you know like uh lentils so lentils have good protein

01:01:54.060 but you know you need acres and acres and acres to get enough lentils whereas uh if you're growing

01:02:01.680 something like lettuce well you know your little lettuce grows pretty well in your little indoor farm

01:02:07.620 so that works but imagine if you could grow potatoes that would have protein now it's just one kind of

01:02:16.240 protein maybe you want more different kinds of protein but uh if they can genetically create a

01:02:23.240 indoor garden compact doesn't take much space doesn't use much water that's a world-changing thing

01:02:32.740 that's world-changing because if if you're watching the rfk junior saga you know that probably

01:02:39.640 the most dangerous thing in america is our food supply imagine if you could just get off the grid

01:02:46.080 uh let's say you could add to the side of your house a 500 square foot indoor garden

01:02:53.260 and it had protein as well as carbs you could get pretty close to a healthy diet um theoretically

01:03:02.900 all right so uh so that's happening the mexican president sheinbaum she was giving a speech and she is

01:03:17.420 wondering how the mexican cartels have access to so much uh u.s military weaponry so as you know the

01:03:26.120 cartels are really well armed with military equipment and it's american it's american stuff

01:03:31.800 so how'd they get it uh i think the answer is ukraine right don't we believe that we keep funding ukraine

01:03:41.560 but a lot of the stuff just gets sold the black market so i feel like the united states

01:03:48.680 by funding ukraine and having most of us siphoned off uh or some of it is probably arming the cartels

01:03:58.520 now she's acting like she doesn't know but i think that's the answer i saw tucker carlson talking about

01:04:07.660 how the ukrainians are buying all the luxury goods in europe if you go to a luxury good shop

01:04:14.580 there'll be some ukrainian billionaire buying stuff and the idea is that there was so much

01:04:21.340 corruption that we made a whole bunch of ukrainians super rich and the first thing they did is leave

01:04:27.640 ukraine because my god who would want to be there and they took their billions that we gave them and 1.00

01:04:32.700 now they're on the shopping spree with our money i don't know how big that is but i'll bet there is a

01:04:40.820 little bit of it it's probably a little bit of it the other thing that tucker said uh that i saw

01:04:47.900 yesterday was that he was talking to mike benz on his podcast i didn't see this clip until yesterday

01:04:52.840 but when mike benz started explaining how color revolutions are done and and how the u.s helps

01:04:59.860 overthrow other countries with coups and a big part of that is staging street protests and the street

01:05:07.300 protests are always fake you know they're driven by the coup plotters but the point is to make the

01:05:13.360 the public think they're real and to think that there's social upheaval and that's good if you're

01:05:19.840 planning a coup you want to make it look like the people were unhappy with leader look at them in the

01:05:25.560 streets they're all protesting all the time and then tucker says you can see him putting it all

01:05:31.860 together in his head because if that's true then the the george floyd riots may have been instigated

01:05:42.100 and then he listed the um the charlottesville march and that's when i said there it is

01:05:50.580 i've been saying that since almost day one that charlottesville march doesn't look real to me

01:05:58.100 in terms of organic i think the people were really racist but there's no way that they've ever

01:06:04.660 organized that well and if they had done it once they would do it again they just sort of disappeared

01:06:11.260 but they were they happened to be there just when the bad guys were trying to create the narrative that

01:06:17.220 trump's a racist and it's obvious because look at all this street activity

01:06:21.860 so no i don't believe that charlottesville was anything but an op to get rid of trump i don't

01:06:30.800 think that january 6 was anything but an op now there were certainly people there that were there for

01:06:40.080 their own reasons so the people are always real with these ops it's just that whatever got them on the

01:06:46.480 street and got them organized sort of happens once just when it's needed to create a narrative

01:06:54.780 and when you saw that the democrats turned a protest into an insurrection just with the narrative because

01:07:00.580 they controlled the the media that should have been your tip off because the whole time we're looking

01:07:06.940 at it and saying okay i get i get that there were some violent people there and they should be treated

01:07:12.460 you know as violent people now the the pardon question is separate and it has to do with the

01:07:18.000 fact that they've already served time and if they'd been a different context they that's all the time they

01:07:22.520 would have served so that's a different different story but yes i believe the black lives matter

01:07:29.980 marches the antifa the january 6 the charlottesville all fake in my opinion all fake and not just fake but

01:07:38.360 with their textbook they just fit perfectly the narrative that there was somebody behind the

01:07:45.200 scenes instigating riots to take over from trump

01:07:48.800 anyway uh lithuania levy and estonia just announced they're cutting themselves off from

01:07:57.460 russia's electricity grid now i didn't know they were ever connected to it but apparently they needed it

01:08:03.540 for stability because their own internal power sources were not 100 reliable but they believe

01:08:11.000 that they're now reliable enough that they don't need even um sort of the stability backup connection

01:08:18.780 to russia so they're just cutting the cable so that russia cannot use their electricity as a

01:08:24.980 bargaining chip in the future good good for them i tell you every time i hear a story about estonia

01:08:31.780 estonia it's them doing something smart estonia you should pay attention to estonia it's it's a

01:08:41.500 little country that's batting way above its weight class they just sort of do logical things all the

01:08:48.660 time and i think they're well educated at this point so they have a kind of a tight little government

01:08:55.960 good little system yeah keep an eye on estonia

01:08:59.200 and uh that's all i have today um owen gregorian has his spaces right after this so i'm going to talk

01:09:08.540 to the people on locals probably while that's happening owen will be setting up his spaces or

01:09:14.560 soon after so if you're on x you can look for owen gregorian's account or you can look at my account i

01:09:22.400 retweeted the uh spaces um notice all right uh

01:09:33.040 okay all right um locals i'm coming at you privately if you're on x or youtube or rumble

01:09:40.960 thanks for joining have a good super bowl sunday and i will see you tomorrow same time same place
