Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2748 CWSA 02⧸12⧸25

00:00:00.000 it's a little chilly today so i got my comfort blanket on

00:00:06.240 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:13.460 coffee with scott adams and i'm pretty sure you've never had a better time but if you'd

00:00:18.840 like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny

00:00:24.340 human brains all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice's dine a canteen jug

00:00:29.880 or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for

00:00:35.800 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better

00:00:39.640 it's called the simultaneous sip and you're lucky enough to have it now go

00:00:45.140 so good you know i've been meant to meaning to mention this i keep forgetting mike johnson

00:00:57.300 has the best command voice you're ever going to hear and what you should listen to is not just

00:01:04.980 he's got a you know nice sounding voice but that when he's talking with any authority he always goes

00:01:11.960 down on the end of the sentence because if you go up at the end of your sentence if you go up

00:01:18.220 at the end of your sentence you sound like a valley girl but also you sound like you're not so sure

00:01:24.700 we should start a war and put all of our money into it that just sounds like you have no confidence

00:01:32.300 but mike johnson when he talks he's got the the voice thing down he always ends lower than he starts

00:01:39.120 we're going to settle the budget we're going to get it done by tuesday we're going to make sure

00:01:45.300 that the country is free that is a really really good persuasion just ending lower that's all you

00:01:52.360 have to do well egg prices are up 15 and inflation hit 3 this month that's probably what's bugging the

00:02:01.020 stock market you know i never thought that eggs would be like a luxury good but i was in the grocery

00:02:08.100 store the other day and i saw i was going to get some eggs and there was there was so much activity

00:02:15.920 in the egg section like people were talking and it looked like there was going to be a fight

00:02:21.060 there were plenty of eggs but like it looked like there was a whole thing happening and i just looked

00:02:27.840 at it and said nope i'm not going to be in the middle of whatever that is because it looks like the

00:02:32.700 eggs were going to start flying so i didn't get any eggs but i'm going to save up some money and maybe

00:02:38.780 get some eggs sometime well as you know prisoner mark fogo was released from russia thanks to the good

00:02:46.860 work of the trump administration and their their uh emissaries um now the big question is uh

00:02:55.880 why was that so easy what what did trump offer in return now i don't know the answer to the question

00:03:04.420 and i don't know if he offered anything in return but let me tell you what i think happened so this is

00:03:11.000 pure speculation and the only thing i'm using as my uh let's say reasoning is that the best persuader

00:03:20.360 would do it this way right so if you assume that trump is really good at the negotiating thing

00:03:26.620 this is how he should have done it and he should do the same thing with the hamas hostages and it goes

00:03:33.540 like this hostages are not a negotiating point hostages are not a negotiating point you return them

00:03:44.640 or nothing good will ever happen to you again it's the opening ticket to have a conversation

00:03:50.440 it's not part of the negotiation it's how you get a ticket to the negotiation you never ever ever

00:03:57.700 ever ever ever ever negotiate for a hostage now we always do it right we're always trading this for

00:04:06.880 that and you know if you have a if you have a straight up trade well some negotiation might make 0.53

00:04:12.440 sense but if if a country is just holding somebody and they're just doing it to be dicks to get a

00:04:19.940 little leverage on you that's when you tell them you have no idea what's going to come down on you if

00:04:25.620 you don't release them this is first priority top priority you do not hold an american period if you

00:04:32.580 hold an american every weight that we can put at you is going to come for that one person just for the

00:04:38.280 one person now that's the only way to approach this so but there's also a nice way to say it

00:04:45.660 so here's what i imagine trump did hey uh putin now this could be through intermediaries not not

00:04:53.820 necessarily a direct conversation but hey putin i've been saying some good things about you i've been

00:05:01.520 telling people that we could work with you to end the war you want to end the war we want to end the war 0.96

00:05:07.460 but we're not even going to have a conversation with you unless this guy comes home so if you want

00:05:14.180 me to let you enter these but if you want me basically to say that you did a good job negotiating

00:05:20.080 that we got a good deal that things are working out the in some kind of a respectful way the only way

00:05:28.640 you're going to do it is return this guy right now we we're not even going to have a conversation

00:05:33.340 about ukraine and you can just keep losing people and losing your treasure we're going to give them

00:05:39.580 you know long-term missiles and you just got to fix this and you got to do it right away

00:05:44.880 now the the carrot in that case would be to stay on good terms with trump when everybody needs to be on

00:05:54.720 good terms with it and not take the risk that this one this one prisoner is going to derail everything

00:06:01.100 so if trump does what he usually does he injected some real risk that putin said i don't know what

00:06:10.060 the you know i don't know what the blowback is going to be but since excuse me but since we do have a

00:06:17.640 chance to end this war thing and in a way that maybe he'd be at least a little bit happy he's not

00:06:22.880 going to blow it over one hostage so i think and i don't know i think trump got him with nothing in

00:06:29.820 return which is the way it should have been that's exactly how he should have been but we'll see it

00:06:36.300 could be that there was something traded but uh the country felt pretty good about it and it made us

00:06:41.880 once again remember that whatever biden was doing was incompetent or evil or corrupt because it feels

00:06:52.160 almost a little too easy to do the things that didn't look possible under under biden we'll see

00:06:59.660 according to steve watson writing for modernity uh mental health experts are seeing a big increase in

00:07:07.800 democrat um clients so a lot of democrats with mental health problems because the despair and burnout

00:07:14.580 that they're experiencing over the trump first hundred days or so or whatever it's been so far

00:07:21.340 and uh axios has an article talking about that uh how people are feeling burned down because they can't

00:07:28.880 keep up with the rapid fire policies of trump now to be fair i also feel that the the pure weight of all the

00:07:41.260 changes um even though i like them so even though i'm positive about the changes it is overwhelming

00:07:48.080 and if you're uh i guess i could call it my job in a sense is to look at the news every day

00:07:56.540 it's really work oh my god you know i i love doing the podcast it's one of my favorite things

00:08:04.840 so it never feels like work but it does now i i feel like i'm on the doge project because i'm like

00:08:13.340 oh my god i've got to read all the background of this ngo and how it fits into the larger architecture

00:08:19.880 of you know everything and how everything's connected and who all the players are and then

00:08:24.920 there'll be like seven more of those stories every day every day so yeah it's pretty exhausting

00:08:30.840 and i i definitely feel it on my own mental health even though i like everything about it

00:08:35.840 it is just so overwhelming so yeah if you're a democrat you're probably having some tough times

00:08:42.240 right now well you probably saw the video about uh trump was in the oval office and he was talking

00:08:48.840 to the press and uh musk was there with little x his his young son and little x was stealing the show

00:08:56.460 by you know being like uh little uh john john kennedy and hanging around the resolute desk and you know

00:09:04.320 just basically stealing the show um but my take on it was wow this is great it's very uh transparent

00:09:15.120 um you're seeing the the two of them so that you know you can answer pretty much all questions between

00:09:21.500 the two of them uh they were very open musk um did most of the talking i guess uh because doge is

00:09:29.000 the big thing at the moment so makes sense and uh i thought it was you know all good nothing negative

00:09:37.120 so what do you think uh msnbc thought about it now that you know msnbc and cnn are not real news

00:09:46.120 it's not just that they're fake news they're just part of the resistance basically um and their

00:09:52.220 their propaganda networks when it comes to political stuff um how do they frame it all right msnbc is

00:10:00.280 morning joe um wants you to know that we're in a constitutional crisis and there's a lot of chaos

00:10:07.280 there's a chaotic flow of activity and that trump doesn't care what the constitution says

00:10:13.540 but their own legal analyst said no it's not a constitutional crisis it's working exactly within

00:10:22.080 the bounds of the constitution i'm paraphrasing but basically um you can you can do some stuff

00:10:28.920 and then if somebody doesn't like it they can go to court which they did and then uh trump was asked

00:10:36.280 you know what he's going to do about all these judges that keep ruling he can't do this and can't do

00:10:40.500 that i think there are several rulings like that now and he said uh i always i always obey the court

00:10:46.360 so yes of course whatever the court says goes now nobody was expecting that at least the bad guys

00:10:55.780 weren't but um yes they're they're blaming him for a constitutional crisis and he says we always

00:11:04.280 obey the courts and i was trying to think is there any time in the past he didn't obey a court

00:11:09.740 i couldn't think of one so i thought yeah that's that's exactly the right frame i always obeyed the

00:11:17.220 court because that really just eliminates the whole you're a dictator constitutional crisis oh if the

00:11:25.140 court is involved we'll listen to them separate form of government yeah now at the same time it's

00:11:31.160 completely legal to impeach a judge so that's on the table but i don't think there's any way we can

00:11:38.380 impeach a judge i think you need two-thirds of one of the houses or both or something and we never get

00:11:45.020 there so i don't think there's any practical way but apparently uh that's what el salvador had to do

00:11:51.140 so the miracle in el salvador was being completely blocked by several of their judges at the highest court

00:11:59.820 so they impeached them now i don't know too much about the government of el salvador

00:12:06.640 but how did they have enough power to impeach judges like multiple judges

00:12:11.320 i don't know i don't know there's probably more to that story but they got away with it and then when

00:12:18.760 those judges were gone um they rolled up all the bad guys put them in jail and now the country's looking

00:12:24.160 pretty pretty strong so it could be a thing in other countries i don't think it's going to happen

00:12:29.500 here so msnbc is going for the constitutional crisis and uh chaos there's chaos lawrence o'donnell says

00:12:37.920 that elon musk quote humiliated trump in the oval office see they're they're going for the oh let's

00:12:46.140 drive a wedge between them because they think that trump is a narcissist and that uh if they can just

00:12:52.980 get them think he's not the star then you know suddenly they can they can you know cleave them

00:12:59.660 apart but i think they have a complete misunderstanding of who trump is trump likes not likes loves the

00:13:11.000 highest functioning people the best athletes the smartest people the most capable best entrepreneurs

00:13:17.560 he loves excellence he's all about it and if that excellence accrues to the legacy of his office

00:13:26.920 and my god this would can you imagine if if musk pulls off balancing our budget which looks like

00:13:37.140 it's at least within reach uh trump will forever be the best president of the united states

00:13:44.480 so do you think he's going to get rid of trump uh get rid of musk because msnbc a propaganda network

00:13:52.080 said that oh he's stealing your limelight he's taking all your attention no i think trump is playing

00:13:59.780 the long game and he knows that if musk succeeds that in 100 years we might not remember musk's

00:14:07.340 contribution but you'll definitely know that trump was the best president we ever had

00:14:11.620 if he pulls that off um so they're going for that lee here's you humiliated of course joy reed on 1.00

00:14:19.380 msnbc she's like uh oh elon musk is the co-president of the united states uh the pushback is not sitting 0.99

00:14:27.960 well with the co-president who held court blah blah blah it's all so stupid that it's barely worth 0.98

00:14:35.380 repeating you know it it was so annoying when i thought msnbc was at least trying to be honest 0.99

00:14:41.200 or trying to give the news once you realize they're not trying it's just funny so i just mock them

00:14:49.400 well one of the things that came out of that uh oval office presser i guess it was a presser of some

00:14:57.740 kind um was the claim that usa had allocated 50 million dollars for condoms for gaza meaning hamas

00:15:08.420 basically uh that turned out not to be true and so one of the reporters asked musk about that and

00:15:15.580 corrected him in the question apparently there is a 50 million dollar budget for condoms but it's for

00:15:21.820 a place in mozambique which i think is also called gaza so there's some confusion about which gaza was a

00:15:29.760 county in mozambique or uh the the gaza that we always talk about and musk's reply was that uh

00:15:39.960 he won't he won't get everything right and so it's good that they bring it up and then he'll quickly

00:15:47.760 correct oh my god when does a politician ever say that get get challenged during an open public thing

00:15:58.880 and say well i won't get everything right now he did complete his point which is 50 million for a

00:16:07.400 condom seems like a lot no matter where they're going and doesn't sound like something we want to

00:16:12.540 pay for so his his point stood it just wasn't as you know clean and politically you know damaging as

00:16:21.120 if it had been gaza the the other gaza um but still it looks like something that the public is not

00:16:27.800 going to support but that's like a breath of fresh air and uh one of the things that i think musk is

00:16:38.300 doing has more value than the cuts so let's say that musk cuts i don't know one to two trillion

00:16:46.060 dollars out of the budget that's going to look like the biggest thing anybody ever did anywhere

00:16:51.120 two trillion dollars per year that's per year it would save the country and it would put us back

00:16:58.340 in a good track it would be the biggest thing that happened in my lifetime um but there's something

00:17:04.300 he's doing at the same time that's a little bit invisible that's bigger than that it's bigger than

00:17:10.480 two trillion dollars a year and that is he's teaching us how to do it he's showing us systems

00:17:18.500 versus goals he's showing us how to move fast and break things he's showing us how to get the best

00:17:26.200 people and you know settle for second best and the best people can do things that the second best

00:17:31.440 people just can't ever do the second best people aren't just slower at getting things done than the

00:17:37.240 best people they can't do it you need the smartest people in the world sometimes and this is one of

00:17:44.140 those cases so watching him just attack it and then be a fast adjustment be able to quickly say that

00:17:52.500 didn't work change it that didn't work change it that didn't work change it oh i got that thing wrong

00:17:58.340 about the condoms good keep me honest make sure you keep fact checking that's worth more than two

00:18:05.440 trillion dollars a year because if he can teach that let's say everything about the the boldness of it

00:18:13.980 to the methods he's using we're going to be studying his methods forever and one of the methods of course is

00:18:20.960 moving fast and overwhelming the the resistance the resistance being the bureaucracy so if we learn

00:18:29.340 what he's doing which is different from maybe what a lot of other people would do in the same situation

00:18:35.940 but of course he's got a longer track record of making this kind of stuff work

00:18:40.240 if he makes this work the united states will have a new dna he's reprogramming our dna as a country

00:18:48.620 because we're all learning this we're all learning that the impossible is possible

00:18:54.140 can't go to the moon or can't go to mars yes we can can't build an electric car sure we can

00:19:01.200 can't put a device on your head that reads your mind well maybe we can can't cut the budget get out of the way

00:19:09.900 see what happens so number one he's teaching us that you can do the impossible but you're going 0.82

00:19:16.280 to have to stay up all night you're going to have the best team and you're going to have to balls to

00:19:21.220 the wall 100 commitment lots of good partners you can get it done these are deep deep learnings that

00:19:30.580 will become part of our personalities without doing anything about it we're just watching but he's

00:19:36.980 training us what works and what doesn't in these big big big big situations that if we learn that

00:19:44.800 that's worth more than two trillion dollars a year it will put us in a winning position

00:19:50.520 for a generation at least until somebody forgets it when i found out my friend got a great deal on a

00:19:58.480 wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman 0.94

00:20:05.300 over there with the designer jeans are those from winners who are those beautiful gold earrings did 0.93

00:20:11.360 she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress 1.00

00:20:16.900 that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning

00:20:23.560 winners find fabulous for less well there's also doge is also looking into the federal employees who seem

00:20:31.160 to have suspiciously high net worths especially if that happened while they were working for their

00:20:36.860 not so profitable jobs in the government now the example that people are using i feel like it might

00:20:43.440 be unfair because it's focusing on one person in particular and there could be an explanation

00:20:49.380 but it is sort of an organizing thing to have somebody specific to talk about with specific numbers

00:20:56.600 so samantha powers i guess she was head of usaid and she was uh allegedly she was a head until she got

00:21:06.760 fired recently and uh i guess her net worth went from six million to thirty million dollars even though

00:21:13.360 she was paid 250 000 a year and people say hmm that's not much time has passed to make all those millions 0.90

00:21:21.760 of dollars so how'd you do that well before we decide that she's committed some crime because she 0.99

00:21:30.120 made a lot of money we should at least consider there are possible ways you can do that number one

00:21:35.960 what if she inherited did anybody ask if her father was rich and died nobody asked that right she could 0.98

00:21:44.140 have inherited how would we know um perhaps she knew somebody working at uh i don't know let's say nvidia

00:21:54.160 and at some point somebody said to her i gotta tell you this nvidia stuff is amazing you should get in

00:22:00.940 on this last year well what if she had said you know i've got six million dollars and there's never

00:22:07.560 going to be anything like this nvidia again so i'll put a million dollars on nvidia does that give you

00:22:14.160 24 million dollars pretty quickly might it might if you pick the right thing what if she got married 1.00

00:22:23.100 and her husband was rich would that show up would we would we have noticed that now i'm not saying

00:22:31.020 she did i have no information about whatsoever but if you think that the only way she could have made

00:22:38.040 that money that quickly is corruption let me just you know brainstorm a little bit innocent until proven

00:22:45.280 guilty right samantha powers is innocent until proven guilty and i have no evidence no evidence that she

00:22:52.360 committed a crime it's just there's a little bit of a flag there and maybe if somebody looks into it

00:22:59.180 they'll say oh you inherited you inherited an estate cool that's the end of the that's the end of the

00:23:05.340 question but there will be other people that i think will be a little more suspicious and probably

00:23:11.380 all of them have to be looked into so i don't like targeting a person and then looking for a crime

00:23:17.880 and i don't love the fact that if somebody has a lot of money that's automatically suspicious

00:23:24.360 there are people who make a lot of money quickly in ways that are illegal it does happen

00:23:31.480 um so we'll see

00:23:33.600 uh elon musk today and x talking about the size of the potential uh fraud in the government

00:23:42.100 he said this he said at this point now keep in mind he's looked into things

00:23:46.640 you know not comprehensively but he's seen quite a bit so far

00:23:50.560 he says at this point i'm 100 certain that the magnitude of the fraud and federal entitlements

00:23:57.100 social security medicare and medicaid welfare disability etc exceeds the combined sum of every

00:24:03.880 private scam you've ever heard by far now because there's such you know big entities it wouldn't take

00:24:11.080 much for it to be the biggest scandal in american history and i wouldn't be surprised i wouldn't be

00:24:17.400 surprised if it's bigger a bigger scan and scandal than anything we've ever seen you know i'll say

00:24:23.400 again uh i've for years i've wondered why there are so many rich people right i know how i made my

00:24:32.280 money and everybody else does too it's like oh you're the dilbert guy yeah that that worked out for

00:24:37.340 you and if somebody is like the ceo of a company i go oh okay you know startup entrepreneur oh okay

00:24:43.780 and some people inherit right so there are lots of ways people make money but i feel like there are

00:24:50.560 too many rich people as in some of that's got to be crime if you took the entire universe of rich

00:24:59.520 people who just have nice houses on the hill when you drive by and you go wow that's a lot of people

00:25:04.340 with big houses up there i'll bet you i'm just gonna i'm gonna tell you with no there's no backing to

00:25:10.940 this opinion i'll bet 25 of our rich people are crooks i'll bet 25 i'll bet some of them are working

00:25:19.520 with cartels some of them are drug dealers some of them stole from our government in clever ways

00:25:24.980 some of them are on the take i'll bet 25 of our rich people are just criminals that's just a guess

00:25:31.740 um so yeah a gop representative uh eli crane is putting some impeachment articles together for the

00:25:42.120 judges who are trying to uh stop the doge project in various ways i don't think he's gonna have any

00:25:50.560 success like you said i think he needs two-thirds and there's no way you get two-thirds in this

00:25:54.820 environment um there's a new uh executive order for doge and it puts the office of management and

00:26:05.320 budgets omb puts them in charge of coming up with a plan to make the federal works work force smaller

00:26:13.300 now here's what i like about this i think it's a bad look if doge is the one who's doing all the

00:26:20.360 cutting if the office of management and budgets reporting to the president decides hey okay here's

00:26:27.860 our here's our plan for downsizing and then doge is both um contributing to the plan telling them

00:26:36.180 what to downsize and what the plan should look like maybe but the omb has the final decision

00:26:40.720 that looks like a good model to me because then you don't have the uh doge is like a second president

00:26:47.880 now you've got a president who's in charge of the omb and the omb just says some guidelines for doge

00:26:54.460 perfect yeah as long as the head of the omb is a solid you know a solid person that's gonna work

00:27:02.080 so i like that but there's more to it this new executive order is fairly massive uh in its impact

00:27:09.200 potentially so there's a rule in it that says uh any of the agencies in the government that want to

00:27:16.380 add an employee can only do it if they get rid of four so you're really really going to need that

00:27:22.380 new employee because it's going to cost you four existing employees now trump did that same kind of

00:27:27.500 model with regulations and apparently it worked so we know something like that could work we'll see

00:27:35.320 um let's see uh and then the doge team will have embedded team leaders to do continued oversight

00:27:46.180 over agencies you know during the downsizing and presumably after uh so i like that because they

00:27:54.240 would they basically be like auditors but there may be at some point they may need to be more official

00:28:02.100 meaningful meaning that at the moment uh reporting to musk is exactly the right answer

00:28:08.660 but at some point if you know everything succeeds musk is going to want to pull himself out of the

00:28:14.860 day-to-day and maybe at that point they report to the omb you know just report to the omb and then it

00:28:22.680 looks like an official structure because it would be and that would maybe make people more comfortable

00:28:27.180 with it um apparently the new hires also have to be according to the executive order approved by

00:28:34.120 some of the doge team leads um i'm not sure why we need that because if they added the omb well i guess

00:28:44.220 it's because there'll still be a lot of democrats in these agencies they might try to you know pull in

00:28:49.680 a trumpeter or somebody dangerous so yeah i guess that makes sense you got to make sure they don't hire

00:28:55.580 some people who are not good for the country and anyway so that's a really big deal but i like the

00:29:06.200 framing of it putting the omb in the mix bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking

00:29:16.080 package learn more at scotia bank.com slash banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer

00:29:24.000 than you think according to the hill the fema employee who famously told some of the fema people

00:29:33.020 to uh not knock on the doors and try to help people with trump signs so apparently that person violated

00:29:42.900 the hatch act so i guess the hatch act is when you're doing political stuff that you shouldn't

00:29:48.320 be doing political stuff they should be just doing disaster stuff now there's no um i don't know if

00:29:55.860 there's a smoking gun in terms of somebody was injured by this policy but at the base of it the

00:30:02.420 person who was involved seems to have argued that safety was the reason behind it so i guess there's no

00:30:09.740 question about what happened yes people were informed you know don't uh don't necessarily uh knock on the

00:30:17.340 door of a trump supporter with a trump sign but um um why was it that they ever thought a trump

00:30:26.780 supporter would be dangerous if fema knocked on the door to try to help them in what world 1.00

00:30:33.760 do you think it's dangerous to knock on the door of a trump supporter

00:30:37.980 does anybody live in that world that's like a reality i don't understand

00:30:43.180 if you told me the only thing that you know about the house is that it's a democrat or republican

00:30:50.020 would one of those be scarier than the other well if it's an upscale house i wouldn't you know i

00:30:57.740 wouldn't care upscale house nobody's going to be opening fire when you knock on the door but let's

00:31:03.020 say it's a low-income house would you be more afraid of a low-income democrat or a low-income republican

00:31:10.940 in the context of a disaster in which everybody needs help and fema is helping everybody

00:31:17.040 in what world does a trump supporter go nuts in that case even if they didn't like what fema was

00:31:25.220 doing you think they're going to pull a gun out in what world that's so this is basically the fake

00:31:32.820 news just ruined fema because they believe some kind of weird you know i don't know maybe that

00:31:39.680 trump supporters are part of the secret resistance of white supremacists hiding in the mountains or

00:31:45.420 something crazy stuff crazy well i saw a post today by mike cernovich that spoke to me

00:31:53.580 so i want to read his post it definitely is feels like a sign of the times kind of indicator and then

00:32:02.420 i want to tell you what i what i reposted in the same vein or at least i hope it's in the same vein

00:32:08.480 so mike cernovich posted on x i think it was this morning or last night he said i don't want to speak

00:32:14.780 carelessly or with bravado but i'm not going back i will not submit ever or in any way to what we

00:32:23.020 lived under four years ago a hostile occupating regime i just won't now that was exactly what i was

00:32:32.720 feeling so this is what sort of which does he finds the exact emotional lever and he found mine

00:32:40.780 so here's what i added to it because this is what i've been thinking about a lot in the last 24 hours

00:32:46.080 even before i saw mike's post i said yesterday i was remembering how innocent we were in 2016

00:32:52.680 or at least i was we uh we just preferred trump no big deal then came the shaming the canceling

00:33:01.320 the physical threats the intimidation the social stigmas the economic attacks the fake news the

00:33:07.320 corruption and eventually the revelation of the entire corrupt architecture of the country

00:33:13.360 now we're smarter and now so innocent we're tougher we're bad and we have reinforcements that are more

00:33:22.640 powerful than anything we have ever seen we're not just supporters with a preference this time

00:33:29.020 now it's ride or die we will protect the constitution we will right the ship decisions have been made

00:33:37.220 decisions have been made we're not going to lose this all right we're going to protect the country

00:33:46.360 we're going to protect the public we're going to protect the constitution and we're going to make

00:33:51.960 america great again and nothing is going to stop it nothing

00:33:58.160 speaking of things trying to stop things um you remember newsguard so newsguard was this

00:34:07.700 non-government organization that was going to help all the various countries uh get rid of their 0.99

00:34:14.060 misinformation and of course it wasn't really a misinformation thing it was a political

00:34:20.620 censoring vehicle pretending to help you with misinformation

00:34:24.640 um so here's what happened apparently they had on their website newsguard did that microsoft

00:34:33.740 was one of the companies that they were helping with misinformation microsoft disavowed them

00:34:41.260 in response so i guess ted cruz uh senator cruz wrote to microsoft and said is this real are you

00:34:50.680 really backing newsguard now that we know that it's just a completely illegitimate corrupt organization

00:34:56.680 pretending to be about misinformation but really just being part of the uniparty crushing the opposition

00:35:02.940 and microsoft instead of what you might have imagined during the biden administration but we don't know

00:35:10.920 they just said you better take us off your website because we're not funding you and we're not working

00:35:17.820 with you basically i'm paraphrasing but microsoft just said nope nope thank you senator cruz for

00:35:25.300 bringing this to our attention nope newsguard don't associate with us now would that have happened

00:35:32.960 under biden or do you think there's an awakening that has reached basically everybody in power at this

00:35:40.480 point i feel like there's an awakening so did you know um let's see

00:35:47.160 so how bad is newsguard let me give you some meat on the bones if you want to know how bad they are

00:35:54.260 um newsguard claims that some outlets are misinformation and some are not so here's the

00:36:04.140 ones they call misinformation and then the ones they say are not they said misinformation was the

00:36:10.620 federalist the daily wire and newsmax they're called quote unreliable well these are the outlets they

00:36:19.400 think are reliable uh the jacobin i don't even know what that is the atlantic the atlantic

00:36:27.360 and the new republic are deemed reliable the atlantic is literally the most famous propaganda not even

00:36:36.300 trying to be anything but propaganda now if you didn't know that you might say huh okay this is

00:36:44.620 helpful here's a list of bad sites and good sites but anybody who's paying attention even a little bit

00:36:50.900 knows the atlantic is just a democrat propaganda i don't think it exists for any other reason

00:36:57.280 i doubt it's making money isn't it owned by jobs's widow and doesn't it look like the only reason it's

00:37:06.340 still alive is so they can write hit pieces on trump it's the most corrupt thing you could possibly

00:37:11.920 imagine that first of all there is something that exists like that but secondly that newsguard has

00:37:18.540 blessed it as an accurate source and says the federalist is not now i don't know about you

00:37:26.640 but i've read a lot of stories in the federalist well i don't remember any misinformation

00:37:32.120 do you like i don't remember any you know every every news entity gets things wrong but what i i mean

00:37:44.300 these are all news sources that i have familiarity with you know news max may get things wrong they

00:37:51.340 may be biased in their attacks of course the news is biased but that's big difference between bias

00:37:57.880 and misinformation so yeah this is completely corrupt there is an account on x that has been getting

00:38:06.880 some attention lately and it's an anonymous account and i would love to know who's behind it it's the

00:38:13.460 the account is called data republican we don't know if it's male or female or more than one person

00:38:18.520 involved so it's anonymous but data republicans been apparently doing some good work sniffing out

00:38:26.260 things that the data indicates you know looking for red flags and one of the things that data republican

00:38:32.180 put on x so you should follow data republican if you're on x it's one word data republican you should

00:38:40.620 follow it and when i tell you this story you're definitely going to want to follow it

00:38:44.520 um so the idea is that data republican discovered seven ngos out of the massive thousands of ngos so

00:38:56.460 this was hard found seven ngos that uh seem to that are partially funded by american taxpayers that

00:39:05.820 appear to be the key players within the so-called deep state uniparty and one of the ways that they're

00:39:12.020 identifiable is that they all have something like democracy in their name so democracy enhancing

00:39:19.520 democracy helping universal democracy helping the the agency to democratize democracy and all good

00:39:27.620 democracy things so that's one of the signals that they're not giving like let's say foreign aid for aids

00:39:35.280 or trying to help the poor there's something about democracy and they're well-funded and there's

00:39:41.480 seven of them and that explains why trump is being called domestically a threat to democracy

00:39:53.020 do you see it now so we had these ngos that were originally set up to battle for democracy 1.00

00:40:00.680 against let's say the soviet union they might have a different model or against anybody else who was

00:40:06.640 actually not democratic that we wanted to be on our democracy side so they were external facing

00:40:12.420 things and then suddenly this president president trump he's being called a threat to democracy

00:40:21.880 have you ever heard that before has any prior president ever been called a threat to democracy

00:40:28.240 well probably you know here and there but not like something that all the entities are repeating every

00:40:34.780 single day you know threat to democracy threat to democracy threat to democracy that's organized

00:40:41.560 and there's no way it's accidental it allowed these seven well-funded entities to turn their cannons

00:40:51.040 internally at their domestic situation and try to turn trump into what they're imagining he is a threat to democracy

00:41:00.400 so that is what i mean by the entire corrupt architecture of the country is being revealed

00:41:12.880 i'm seeing a picture of bill crystal going by yes he was getting some money from an ngo and uh everything was just what you thought it was

00:41:24.580 we didn't know who was involved but you could feel the you can feel the coordinated evil because they all talk the same

00:41:33.880 you know msnbc and cv and cnn and new york times and they'd all start using the same words like

00:41:40.340 hmm looks like there's a constitutional crisis

00:41:43.720 constitutional crisis constitutional crisis but that used to work

00:41:48.860 today i wake up and elon musk has a post on x laughing about all the different media using the same term

00:41:56.600 and and there's a whole list of them oh it's a constitutional crisis look into constitutional crisis

00:42:02.060 even the msnbc couldn't get their own legal analyst to call it a constitutional crisis

00:42:07.740 because nobody's defied any of the constitution we've done stuff and the court will challenge it

00:42:14.960 and then the court will decide if we can do it and if we can't do it we'll try something else

00:42:19.400 you know which might include impeaching a judge which is also constitutional

00:42:24.900 it wouldn't wouldn't work but um so yeah there you go we can now see kind of clearly

00:42:33.820 that uh democrats were just feeding off the teat of these ngos it was a way to launder money into

00:42:41.320 their favorite things keep them in power and enrich them you know not every single one but clearly

00:42:49.840 it was thievery corruption and pure evil and we're getting really close to having all the receipts

00:42:57.720 really close now when i talked earlier you know about mike cernovich's post and my response

00:43:05.000 think about all the people who are pro-trump who are risking their life and their careers right now

00:43:13.620 think about it mike benz is one mike benz is the one who taught us you know this whole ngo architecture

00:43:21.060 and how it all works and he said on x that he's in physical danger probably i think that's true

00:43:28.300 i think he's in physical danger did he quit nope is trump in physical danger yes

00:43:36.500 in fact i said the other day that um there was some kind of event where trump steve scalise and mike

00:43:44.280 johnson three you know top republicans were on the stage at the same time two of them have been shot

00:43:50.640 by democrats or at least somebody who didn't like them two out of three shot did steve scalise retire

00:43:59.660 nope he's standing on the stage did trump retire nope he's standing on the stage did melania

00:44:08.500 tell trump to retire doesn't look like it it looks like she's all in i mean i'm just guessing i can't

00:44:16.540 read her mind but uh am i in danger of course i am i mean maybe not physical danger but uh i got canceled

00:44:26.080 you know my reputation is destroyed i'm all in i got nothing left to lose and if you look at how

00:44:35.400 many people are risking their physical life how about musk you know how much security musk needs right 1.00

00:44:41.540 now a lot do you know how much risk the doge people are taking a lot physical career reputation a lot

00:44:51.040 we i've never seen any situation where so many i guess you'd call them normal people

00:44:58.760 decided to ride or die this time we feel that this is a 1776 moment ideally without the muskets 1.00

00:45:09.720 um i think we can do this without the muskets so that would be first choice um 1.00

00:45:15.900 but we are putting our lives on the line we are genuinely putting our whole lives our reputation

00:45:23.560 our economics ability to feed the family and even our lives all on the line and no regrets

00:45:32.240 we're all in now this is an example of what uh greg gotfeld calls the shared risk

00:45:39.940 i don't do it because it's a shared risk but boy does it help to know that i'm you know not the

00:45:46.400 only person putting myself out there that lots of people are putting everything on the line

00:45:51.560 everything musk is risking everything everything and he's doing it right in front of you it's the most 0.99

00:46:01.140 you know amazing thing i've ever seen so just think about the number of people that you know

00:46:07.920 that are trump supporters who have been in physical danger career damon career danger social danger

00:46:16.380 it's a pretty big list and none of them are backing down look at alex jones not backing down he's doubling

00:46:27.240 down but he's not backing down and you could probably make a list of 25 people that took a serious hit

00:46:36.060 for doing what they thought was right and now we're not going to take it anymore we're not going back

00:46:43.360 it's just not going to happen

00:46:45.100 so katherine herridge was uh talking on a podcast recently she said that

00:46:52.380 uh you know katherine herridge a well-respected journalist uh she said she got fired at cbs news 0.95

00:46:59.520 and then made a choice to go independent and she said her first investigation on covid

00:47:06.460 um injury in the u.s military and she said that x was the only platform where they could put the

00:47:15.340 results of their investigation x was the only place an honest journalism journalist could tell an honest

00:47:24.560 story think about that no other entity because most of them take pharma advertising so you know x

00:47:34.940 maybe has some too but it's not driving any decisions

00:47:38.360 i don't know if there are any on x actually um claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament

00:47:46.440 i've been visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the

00:47:51.840 column behind her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the 1.00

00:47:58.020 largest network of auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof

00:48:02.720 and she was on her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first 1.00

00:48:08.100 round but you got there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply

00:48:14.140 so did uh katherine herridge take some risks oh yeah yep katherine herridge took some risks now i 0.85

00:48:23.560 wouldn't say that she's she's pro-trump because she's such a good journalist i don't know that's

00:48:29.800 exactly what you want that's almost the definition of a good journalist or a great journalist is that

00:48:36.240 you don't know who they support they're just telling you what they found so but she's brave

00:48:41.560 and she had to pay fox news has a story that i think is probably fake news um but still useful

00:48:50.140 this would be useful fake news the story is that uh i guess the pentagon has some bills they paid

00:48:59.080 thirteen hundred dollars for coffee cups uh i don't know how many coffee cups that was and uh i think

00:49:06.620 that was like per coffee cup or something thirteen hundred dollars and then uh and eight thousand

00:49:12.760 percent overpay for soap dispensers so doge is finding these kinds of expenses now here's what

00:49:20.100 you need to know i did not do any research on this specific story i'm going to give you a general

00:49:26.120 statement since the 60s the same story comes out at least once a year oh the air force uh charges a

00:49:35.760 billion dollars for a hammer oh this one screw for this door was fifty thousand dollars and every

00:49:43.440 year since the 60s now would you first of all would you all agree that you've all seen this story a

00:49:49.960 version of this story every year you've been alive it never stops and did you know none of them are true

00:49:58.400 did you know that it's always the same reason let's say uh let's say i'll give you an example

00:50:07.480 just to and by the way this is just a made-up example but it'll give you an idea what i'm talking

00:50:12.080 about let's say air force one had some special equipment that nobody else in the world had

00:50:17.900 and some design things that didn't exist anywhere else and then later 20 years later because the

00:50:25.180 airplanes last a long time somebody says oh we need to add a cup dispenser or we need some cups

00:50:31.980 that will fit the dispensers that are already on the plane or they need to be some special kind of

00:50:38.200 cups that i don't know don't leak or something well to make that little tiny order of whatever it is

00:50:45.780 that air force one needed but nobody else will ever need anywhere they might have to develop part of a

00:50:51.620 factory they might have to buy equipment to manufacture that thing uh they might have to

00:50:58.800 design it because they don't have to design anymore and then they manufacture it when they're done

00:51:04.360 they spent you know a million dollars to make something that you think should be worth five

00:51:11.700 dollars but it actually cost a million dollars and there wasn't any other way to do it except build

00:51:17.780 the factory build the piece put all the overhead in it and try to get it now i want to be very careful

00:51:23.880 because i know half of you are so mad at me right now that you can't hear the next thing i say so i'm

00:51:29.680 going to say it three times to get through your your wall of anger it's probably still overpriced

00:51:35.920 that's the first time it's probably still overpriced that's the second time now this one should

00:51:42.640 penetrate your wall is probably still overpriced all right so don't argue with me about whether

00:51:49.240 it's overpriced i concede that but it's probably never overpriced in the way that you think it is

00:51:57.040 that it only cost them a nickel to make it and they charged a billion dollars that's almost never true

00:52:02.820 it's usually some overhead that special case blah blah blah blah so even though it's fake news

00:52:11.020 in my opinion again without doing any research on this specific case it's always fake news has

00:52:16.880 been since the 60s uh it's really useful because the public doesn't know it's fake news so they say

00:52:24.880 what the pentagon's charging me a billion dollars for a hammer we're gonna have to go in there and 0.50

00:52:30.980 shake things up well if what you want to do is go in there and shake things up and cut costs

00:52:35.900 it's really useful if the public thinks that they are charging a billion dollars for a screw

00:52:42.360 it's really useful because then you can get the support

00:52:45.640 likewise the same strategy is being used on the cuts for us aid if you told the real story to the

00:52:54.600 public okay public the reason that these weird little charities exist is not because somebody really

00:53:01.680 really cared about the trans um events in uruguay for example it's because we're trying to control 0.99

00:53:10.400 uruguay and teaming with the trans community gave us a little bit of capacity building so that we'd have

00:53:19.000 a little more leverage over uruguay now that's the story that the government can't tell you

00:53:23.760 and even trump can't tell you that and i don't think elon musk is going to say that in a press release

00:53:29.780 because it basically ounce our entire intelligence operation usa is basically just a front for the cia

00:53:37.780 this would be the mike ben's version of reality and if you see it as a front for the cia the real

00:53:45.820 argument is do we need the cia doing this stuff now i think the answer is no i i think that probably

00:53:54.320 we can get what we want without doing this stuff and that maybe it is it's going too far and it was

00:53:59.960 too easy to get money for anything so you know maybe there's some of this stuff that needs to happen

00:54:04.700 for intelligence reasons and for legitimate protection of the republic but probably the best

00:54:12.480 thing is to cut it all and then have whoever needs it make a better argument and then add it back if we

00:54:20.480 need it that's probably what makes sense but notice how complicated that is wait uh wait what are you

00:54:28.060 saying you're saying that us aid is just the cia uh well do you have a document that proves that

00:54:35.640 no nobody could possibly have a document that proves that you can you can get there by inference

00:54:43.440 you can get there because somebody told you and you've been around it and you know what it really is

00:54:48.740 maybe you've worked in the cia so you know exactly what's going on but there's no document

00:54:53.780 i don't think trump and musk could come up with oh here's the memo look look right here it says

00:55:01.280 everything we do is for the cia no they can't prove it so what are they going to do

00:55:07.320 so you do the thing like the million dollar hammer you just tell the public something they can

00:55:14.160 understand uh maybe we shouldn't be spending 50 million dollars on condoms for mozambique

00:55:20.100 and then the public says oh yeah i don't know much about this topic i never heard of usaid before

00:55:26.500 but yeah that's a lot of money for condoms i think i'd rather save that money and then you just go

00:55:32.820 down the line all right do you want to support trans events in uruguay no no i don't yeah shut that

00:55:39.960 thing down oh there's more they're also doing dei in slovenia dei in slovenia are you kidding me

00:55:49.200 you get rid of that get rid of the million dollar hammers get rid of it all close it down go musk 1.00

00:55:55.020 so there is a there is a veneer of bullshit over what we're saying but for a good purpose 0.98

00:56:04.020 the public it would be hard to bring the public up to speed on what's really going on in the real 0.90

00:56:10.780 world it's it's painful to figure out what's real it's painful and most people aren't going to even

00:56:17.580 want to put it into work so yes if you could make the argument based on uh ridiculous expenses in the

00:56:24.780 context of our budget being way out of control if it works it works there's a uh

00:56:32.740 democrat progressive analyst he's being called um he's worked with a lot of top democrats a guy

00:56:40.600 named uh rui texierra now so the the first thing you need to know is that he's you know deep in the

00:56:49.400 democrat world so he's not a republican he's a he's a deep democrat and here's something he said

00:56:56.720 recently um he said that uh in policy terms um the democrats have a point about the legality of doge's

00:57:05.760 efforts so yes i would acknowledge that there is an argument out there that doge needs to be

00:57:14.320 you know within the frame of legal activity of course yeah i agree with that and and if it isn't

00:57:21.320 i'd like people who are smarter than me to figure that out and then we'll adjust we'll make whatever

00:57:27.860 adjustment needs to be necessary so the the questions about whether doge is legal or not legal i think

00:57:33.200 that's fair game and so does he that's fair game um i mean i don't like how it's working out because

00:57:40.600 it's slowing things down but you can't say it's not fair to ask if something's legal that's the first

00:57:47.060 question you should ask is that legal and if we don't know for sure let's work through the process

00:57:52.820 let's go through the courts let's figure out if it's legal well here's the more interesting thing

00:57:57.940 he said um um he says that uh trump occupies the high ground in this fight meaning that all the the

00:58:08.880 usa aid looks like things that the public doesn't want right so even though they do basic stuff or the

00:58:16.800 claim is that usa is doing some real charity um there are so many things like uh dei in serbia's

00:58:24.640 workplace that if trump says we're going to cut the dei program in serbia that you're paying for

00:58:30.680 who exactly is going to argue with that again if you were if you were in the cia and you knew there

00:58:38.220 was some you know reason for that you would argue but you're not going to do it in public

00:58:42.560 so the public argument trump and musk completely own they've got the high ground look at what they're

00:58:50.280 doing with your money nobody wants their money wasted there there's no there's no cohort who says

00:58:57.380 you know i'd like a little more corruption i wouldn't mind if you spent some of my money

00:59:01.580 so even uh uh ruy texierra is saying that you know trump's got the high ground here

00:59:09.760 you might as well just surrender at this point if he's you know unless the courts can stop it

01:00:29.220 reality goggles for a facebook and then there was a falling out with facebook and he you know went off

01:00:35.820 on his own he started uh anduril a uh military device company so he's got a number of different

01:00:43.200 products drones and kind of high tech things so he's specifically in the the higher end of the

01:00:48.800 technology so that that's sort of his domain they carved out there and apparently anduril uh industries

01:00:55.640 has now been selected to lead the development and production of the um the army's integrated visual

01:01:02.620 augmentation system which what which is i think you put on the goggles and you see the real world

01:01:09.460 but there is stuff that's added to it enhanced reality so maybe the stuff added to it is somebody

01:01:15.920 communicating with you uh a map of something over the hill um how much energy you have how much power

01:01:24.540 you have in your batteries so i don't know what it would be but one does imagine it would be really

01:01:29.960 really helpful to have basically i don't know if there's any ai in it but probably there will be

01:01:35.460 um so we would be sending out basically super soldiers who had um all the abilities of robots

01:01:44.300 basically but on top of that human abilities so yeah this could be kind of a big thing i guess

01:01:50.580 they're going to work with microsoft on this so could be a big deal

01:01:55.280 meanwhile you know that uh trump has threatened that if hamas doesn't give up the remaining uh

01:02:04.440 hostages which include possibly two americans that might be alive but we don't know for sure

01:02:09.740 um he said that if it doesn't happen on saturday by noon and we don't know which time zone he's

01:02:14.720 talking about but he says saturday at noon uh if they don't release all the hostages instead of

01:02:21.040 what he thinks is stalling um there's going to be hell to pay

01:02:24.720 oh nicole shanahan is going to have a interview with uh data republican there you go look at the

01:02:34.440 risk that nicole shanahan and rfk jr took 0.97

01:02:37.220 did you see the size of the risk that people are taking people are just laying it out

01:02:42.940 they're just laying down you know laying out their whole lives it's it's so inspiring

01:02:48.140 and nicole is one of the most inspiring people in the game right now

01:02:52.200 um so anyway if hamas doesn't give the give back the hostages they'll be hell to pay

01:02:59.000 now the first thing i think to myself is there's something non-trumpy about this

01:03:05.140 because there is a process that's already agreed and although it's not moving as quickly as possible

01:03:12.040 every time a hostage gets released i mean that's a really big deal you know even one hostage extra

01:03:19.160 would be a big big deal and that's the way we should treat it on the other hand you can't let

01:03:26.160 the terrorists you know manipulate you so trump has said there will be hell to pay i didn't know

01:03:32.120 what hell to pay would mean i saw some analyst on some show describe some of the options one would be

01:03:38.240 to cut the aid because apparently they can't really eat you know that the non-militants can't eat 1.00

01:03:45.160 because there's no food in gaza so if it doesn't come from the outside and israel doesn't let it in

01:03:51.100 and there isn't enough of it they don't eat so that's a pretty big deal now i guess hamas is

01:03:57.140 claiming that's why they're slowing down the hostage release because they say the aid is not coming

01:04:02.580 enough for fast enough now i don't know if that's true but it's going to get worse if they don't release

01:04:09.220 the hostages and so one thing we could do is cut their food off but we could also cut their utilities

01:04:14.300 could cut their water and their electricity there's still a little electricity and maybe a little

01:04:20.060 water somewhere they could cut it off now that would be of course punishing the civilians more than

01:04:26.620 the fighters but you know that everybody has an option of being there or not being there at this

01:04:33.200 point uh it could include emptying gaza of all the civilians uh as in a forced uh exit as in now you

01:04:41.880 don't get a choice uh all civilians every one of you is leaving every part of gaza and then we're just 0.99

01:04:47.660 going to stomp everything that's left we're going to kill all the tunnels kill every person in hamas 0.98

01:04:52.540 and start over now here's what i'm speculating part of the context of this is that the most recent 0.99

01:05:03.200 hostages which we believe were released in the order of healthiest first everybody who saw them

01:05:11.960 the healthiest ones that are remaining the healthiest ones look like holocaust survivors 1.00

01:05:17.860 they're never going to be the same so if there's a delay and the healthiest ones look like holocaust 0.91

01:05:27.280 survivors what does that suggest to you what it suggests to me is there may not be anybody left

01:05:34.300 alive what it suggests to me is that if there is somebody who is alive they might not even want to be at

01:05:40.920 this point that whatever is left is going to be horrible beyond imagination and it makes me wonder

01:05:51.840 if trump maybe knows a little bit more than we do about the likely situation for the remaining hostages

01:06:00.120 it's possible that the reason they're delaying it and claiming that they need new food is they don't

01:06:06.260 have another living one and they don't have one that hasn't been raped and they don't have one that's 0.73

01:06:11.600 not missing limbs it whatever is left as much as you know the families of course would want them

01:06:20.100 as important as that is trump might not know he might know that there's not much left it might be that bad

01:06:30.000 and he would know more than we would and he's got a good sense for these things so if the reason for

01:06:35.460 hamas's delay is because they don't have anything to give us he's pressing the point now he always has

01:06:43.500 the option of backing off you know if hamas said oh oh we'll do this or that he has an option because

01:06:50.300 remember he's a negotiator so he doesn't have to use his threat if he gets something that seems like

01:06:56.740 it's progress and the construction has started near me so it's going to get noisy so um i would

01:07:05.340 normally say you should wait to see if you got the hostages back because a few more weeks isn't going

01:07:11.520 to kill anybody well i shouldn't put it in those terms it might kill somebody but i think i think

01:07:17.920 maybe trump is playing this right i i think he's pressing them to prove that they even have a hostage

01:07:23.960 and they don't have evidence that there's a living hostage left i don't think i don't think

01:07:28.680 there's any evidence of it so it could be that he's pressing them to prove somebody's still alive

01:07:34.740 and if they can't prove somebody's still alive in the next few days i think gaza is just going to be

01:07:41.820 become a burial ground for whoever's left and uh trump's very clear about it very clear about it

01:07:49.740 now i don't know where everything's going to go but um it is a strong stance and i i have respect for

01:07:59.440 it even if even if it turned out to not be an optimal outcome feels like the right time to push

01:08:07.900 and the right way to push so i'm going to support that all right that's all i got for you today

01:08:14.740 thanks for uh joining i'm going to talk to the people on uh locals privately if you're on

01:08:22.440 x or youtube or rumble thanks for joining i'll see you tomorrow same time same place
