Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2752 CWSA 02⧸16⧸25

00:00:00.000 oh it's this thing all right let's fix that

00:00:07.240 comments are now live there we go

00:00:15.300 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:29.760 coffee with scott adams because it is and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that

00:00:35.820 nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or

00:00:39.980 mug or a glass of tank of chalice and a canteen jug of flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

00:00:44.920 your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine

00:00:50.760 here today the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and happens now

00:00:56.000 go

00:00:59.760 well i don't know about you but what i really needed this weekend was a little less news

00:01:10.920 and thank goodness we got a little bit less news uh trump's been kind of quiet i mean he caused a

00:01:20.660 little bit of trouble but elon musk says he's taken the at least a day or two off because he's getting

00:01:27.800 ready to launch uh the newest uh ai grok so things got strangely quiet but yet there's plenty to talk

00:01:37.840 about did you know that tmz is reporting that uh kanye west i call him yay uh and his wife bianca

00:01:46.100 they don't have a prenup agreement they don't have a prenuptial agreement so

00:01:52.960 okay good job yay

00:01:54.800 at what point did he think this one's forever

00:01:59.340 so so that's a yay's situation uh and then if you were anywhere near social media yesterday on x

00:02:12.060 you'd know that uh allegedly i'm not even sure this is confirmed yet but allegedly ashley st claire

00:02:19.400 who's a conservative leaning uh she's being called an influencer but that feels a little

00:02:27.720 feels a little dismissive because i think she's more of a writer and has a bigger impact

00:02:34.260 so i would call her a writer and uh she's uh claiming that she had a real life

00:02:41.680 um affair i guess with uh musk and has had her had his baby five months ago

00:02:49.400 so and then allegedly there's there's some agreement about the raising of the baby that

00:02:55.660 hasn't been uh finalized so yay didn't finalize his paperwork that looks like a problem and

00:03:03.800 doesn't look like elon finalized his paperwork and it feels like a problem uh so this is my advice

00:03:12.380 don't get involved with anybody unless you've got a lawyer with you

00:03:16.620 you should bring the lawyer on the first date maybe the second date too it's like uh hi you know

00:03:24.020 my name's bob and this is my attorney he'll be negotiating the paperwork in case this comes to

00:03:30.540 anything uh will you or will you not be using birth control and uh we'd like a clause in there that would

00:03:36.760 uh you know protect our client so that's what it looks like in the future

00:03:41.260 um i'll tell you one of the things that uh came out of the whatever is going on between

00:03:48.280 ashley and elon which is really none of our business but it became public uh was there ever

00:03:55.820 a point you said to yourself man i'm so jealous of elon he doesn't have to have a wife and he doesn't

00:04:04.460 need to have like a girlfriend who's giving him trouble he can just create all these baby mamas

00:04:09.180 as long as he can afford it it's going to be great and now i'm thinking how in the world could

00:04:16.400 you survive with that many baby mamas who who all just have just one thing they want to ask you today

00:04:22.940 you know you know what would be good is if i had a little bit extra money this month

00:04:30.240 do you think it ever stops you know i wonder if he ever like he ever stops getting messages

00:04:37.380 you know you know one of the kids is a little older it wouldn't be bad if you know we had an

00:04:43.120 extra million uh i don't know how it's going but i hope he's choosing his baby mamas well

00:04:49.660 um i think some of them are working out pretty well actually

00:04:53.360 well nival ravikant was a guest on all in pod

00:04:57.860 and i loved one thing he said because it it just calms everybody down so i'm going to repeat it

00:05:07.380 there's no indication uh this is me paraphrasing so not his words but there's no indication that ai is

00:05:15.960 going to reduce the number of jobs there's a lot of indication it will be a tremendous aid to people

00:05:23.720 in jobs there's a lot of indication that some jobs you know entire slices of industries will change

00:05:29.960 but that is a normal thing there are entire industries that used to exist when i was a kid

00:05:35.520 that don't exist now so industry is coming and going pretty normal but as uh nival puts it it's not so

00:05:44.440 much that ai will cause you to get another job because as he points out job sort of indicates you have a

00:05:52.560 boss and you have to apply for it but it could be the ai will create what nival calls opportunities

00:05:59.420 so you can say to yourself hey i don't know much about this or that but if i use ai i'll be as smart

00:06:07.240 as anybody who does this or that so i'll become a person who provides whatever service or goods

00:06:13.500 and i'll use ai to figure out how to do it and it'll even do most of the work but it wouldn't do it on

00:06:19.280 its own and you're probably always going to need a human to sign papers and work out weird little

00:06:26.800 problems and negotiate things as you go so this is very much what i've been speculating for a while

00:06:35.840 that we can't predict ai but it didn't look like it was going to take jobs so i've sort of been on this

00:06:44.280 uh on this path for a while but it's good to see nival say it because you know he's smarter so

00:06:52.860 it's good when smart people agree with you all right here's here's something that probably is a

00:06:58.400 nothing but might be a really big thing now before i tell you i would like to say what the npcs will say

00:07:07.000 you know i do this as a service so they don't have to do it when i'm done i want you to yell

00:07:12.900 that's soylent green i don't want to live in a tiny house swimming is the best form of exercise

00:07:20.520 and you can't make me eat that and i won't eat bugs all right does that cover everything that's

00:07:27.680 that's everything the obvious people say okay now now that that's covered you don't need to say those

00:07:33.300 things do you get it it's so you don't need to say them you could yeah and french press is the best

00:07:41.140 way to make coffee thank you thank you for adding that that that needed to be said well the story is

00:07:47.680 that according to ben cocksworth really that's his last name cocksworth

00:07:54.040 wow must have been tough in high school

00:07:59.040 cocksworth come on all right okay um anyway so there's this uh kind of a weed

00:08:10.160 weed that i guess grows in ponds it's not even a weed it's called duckweed it's more like a

00:08:16.700 green slime that grows on stuff but apparently there's a version of it that's really nutritious

00:08:23.720 and let's say they call it water lentils so i think it's you know it's not a slime so much as it might be

00:08:31.640 little chunks but it's sort of green and chunky and it can grow in a pond and uh

00:08:38.180 apparently it's it's a superfood it's got 35 carbs 20 minerals and up to 40 protein

00:08:46.040 now that would be tremendous amount of protein now you've probably heard me say way too many times

00:08:53.460 wouldn't it be good to have a your own indoor farm but how in the world could you grow protein

00:08:59.520 in an indoor farm i know you can grow lettuce and you know some stuff like that that nobody wants to

00:09:06.780 eat too much i mean how much lettuce do you want to eat so i was always saying indoor farms aren't

00:09:11.660 going to work until you can make protein this is apparently something you can do in an indoor facility

00:09:18.960 and it's got protein like crazy and you could add it to just about anything so

00:09:25.620 so uh maybe maybe i'm not sure that this would work at small scale because the indoor facility that

00:09:36.120 they show pictured is a big industrial scale but i don't know it's a so here are the advantages it

00:09:42.940 grows really fast it doesn't need fertilizer it's got tons of nutrients

00:09:47.900 and doesn't yeah it doesn't need pesticides doesn't need fertilizer and it doesn't compete

00:09:55.320 with other crops or farmland and it can be sustainably cultivated in shallow trays of clean

00:10:01.620 water in greenhouses or vertical farms so is this what i've been waiting for i don't know what it

00:10:09.980 tastes like i suppose you can flavor it any way you want but if this seems like a you know small and

00:10:15.740 boring little topic i think we're going to have to get to the point where people are growing their

00:10:21.700 own food you know maybe in small co-ops because all the problems with food are the middleman

00:10:28.680 the chemicals they put in it that you don't want them to put in it the transportation and the storage

00:10:36.660 those are all the problems well you can get rid of all those problems by growing the your own food in

00:10:43.220 your neighborhood if you could grow something with protein so maybe this is it well there's a new

00:10:50.300 hoax have you heard of the p hegseth drinks whiskey in public while doing a presentation hoax

00:10:57.860 so this hoax says that when uh p hegseth was giving a giving a talk at uh whatever this was at the uh

00:11:07.220 big security event in europe that uh that he reached where they always keep a glass of water

00:11:14.780 you know usually if you're a speaker they make sure you've got a water you can drink

00:11:18.560 and and the the thinking was that it was whiskey

00:11:22.240 now here's one of the things that the democrat hoaxes have in common

00:11:28.420 they're so ridiculous they're so ridiculous do you really think that p hegseth who's been accused

00:11:37.600 of you know drinking too much and is before he was uh nominated do you do you think that he stood in

00:11:44.460 front of a huge crowd in a televised event and then picked up a a a glass with a clearly you know

00:11:53.660 a brown looking liquid that wouldn't be water and then drank it in front of the group does anybody

00:12:01.320 think that could really happen in the real world it's just like the fine people hoax and the drinking

00:12:05.800 bleach hoax you don't have to know anything to know it didn't happen that obviously didn't happen

00:12:12.200 and it was just something about the way the light hit the water so no there's no truth to the thought

00:12:19.080 that he was drinking bourbon or something on stage so dumb meanwhile uh aoc is uh calling for the

00:12:27.140 governor of new york to remove mayor adams who of course is a democrat but the democrats are mad at

00:12:34.600 that democrat because he's not so keen on immigration and he uh seems to be friendly with trump and they

00:12:43.640 think he worked on a deal with trump although he says there was no deal but uh the trump administration

00:12:48.820 does seem to be trying to force the dropping of the charges against him the people who understand

00:12:55.820 this you know this field better than i do um say it's completely inappropriate to drop the charges

00:13:03.140 against him there's you know there's no there's no legal reason to drop the charges i'm not sure there's

00:13:11.680 no reason if it looks like lawfare meaning that it's something that wouldn't normally be charged

00:13:17.800 because it's such small ball i feel like that's all the reason you should need do you need more reason

00:13:23.220 than it's lawfare i feel like that's good enough even even if there's a technical violation like he took

00:13:30.860 some you know upgrades on a flight or something i don't care i don't care at all i don't care if the

00:13:37.800 next mayor does that either not really you know if you were taking big cash payments well then we've

00:13:44.000 got different conversation but but a celebrity or a public figure who's traveling and gets upgraded

00:13:53.880 it's just the most normal thing in the world so anyway it feels like lawfare to me but here's my

00:14:01.060 point on this it looks like trump found a new way to get rid of democrats because democrats automatically

00:14:07.660 disagree with whatever trump says is right so all trump has to do is start agreeing with the

00:14:13.760 democrat about anything and the other democrats will want to get rid of that person right away

00:14:19.280 so aoc is trying to get rid of mayor adams because he's too friendly with trump that's that seems to

00:14:28.200 be and then they think there's some secret deal which is not not in evidence um but uh here's what i think

00:14:35.540 uh i think trump should endorse adam schiff just to test it out and say uh yeah adam schiff uh we've had

00:14:44.740 some bad interactions in the past but i gotta say he's the very best democrat there is i can't wait to

00:14:52.060 work with him he's the guy that can really help us with mega and next thing you know they'd be asking

00:14:57.360 for him to be impeached because they they just have to be whatever is the opposite of trump so he can take

00:15:02.820 out any democrat he wants just by saying you know i like that one you know that fetterman guy

00:15:07.880 he's looking real good next thing you know fetterman removed from office

00:15:14.580 well the washington dc real estate market is collapsing everybody's trying to sell their house

00:15:22.060 because they're all getting fired or they're afraid of getting fired or they're democrats on the way out

00:15:27.140 but as uh the account called cynical publius points out and others have pointed out um among the top

00:15:36.660 seven wealthiest counties in america four of them are around washington dc so four out of seven of the

00:15:44.020 wealthiest counties are right around washington dc and washington dc doesn't make any kind of product

00:15:51.780 so how are all these people making so much money it's because they're around the money

00:15:59.680 if you put them around the money they'll start forming ngos and scams and grifts and everybody's

00:16:07.420 got a pack or a you know some damn thing that needs to get funded and apparently there's almost

00:16:13.260 no fiscal responsibility in washington that's what doge has taught us and if you have no fiscal

00:16:19.260 responsibility gigantic amounts of money and no product being made except people persuading and

00:16:27.120 grifting that's what you get if you wait long enough you've got one of the richest counties

00:16:32.820 or four out of seven of the richest counties and you haven't done a damn thing that the country wants

00:16:38.760 you've just taken the money that's what it looks like so we'll see if we'll see if that year is

00:16:45.100 coming to an end that might be a little optimistic and what about david hogg who's now one of the

00:16:51.820 co-chairs of the democratic party how many of you thought to yourself it seems to me that all the

00:17:00.500 democrat leaders are actually just crooks like demonstrably obviously crooks you know you've heard

00:17:09.600 about the clinton foundation you've heard about hillary clinton running the russia collusion hoax

00:17:16.560 you've heard about them doing the 51 laptop thing you've heard about ukraine you've heard about usaid

00:17:22.880 you've heard about you know all the ngos it feels like and of course in my opinion nearly every mayor of

00:17:31.900 every city is corrupt um you know there might be some exceptions but i feel like you almost have to

00:17:39.340 be corrupt to be a mayor in in this this country um so what happens when david hogg comes out of

00:17:48.800 nowhere and next thing you know he's a one of the heads of the dnc well according to pj media matt

00:17:56.740 margolis and some other people talking about this um as soon as he got into that position

00:18:04.100 he used the the mailing list that belongs to the dnc to raise money for his own political action

00:18:11.700 committee and his own political action committee pays his uh hundred thousand dollars a year

00:18:19.220 so he gets he gets put as one of the heads of the dnc the democrat national committee and then

00:18:29.380 almost right away uses their internal source to raise money for himself literally for himself

00:18:35.540 now it's for his pack which pays him so you know it feels like it's for himself

00:18:44.340 um so that's exactly what we expected now i i'm genuinely curious genuinely curious

00:18:56.740 do all criminals become democrats because they know they can get away with more

00:19:01.780 or does becoming a democrat turn you into a criminal because obviously i'm aware that there

00:19:08.420 are republicans who are grifters and corrupt etc obviously but we don't really hear about it much

00:19:15.860 do we it feels like it's an exception or it's you know something happened with some underling somewhere

00:19:23.620 but it feels like every single democrat is is corrupt like all the leaders and somewhat obviously to

00:19:32.100 to me it looks like well this is obvious i won't name names but there's some people just the way they act

00:19:38.500 they couldn't possibly be acting independently it's it's so obvious they're getting a paycheck of some

00:19:44.820 kind you know directly or indirectly that no just nobody would act like that that nobody would act

00:19:50.580 that dumb in public intentionally claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been

00:19:55.060 visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind

00:20:00.580 her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of

00:20:07.060 auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on

00:20:11.620 her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got

00:20:17.780 there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply anyway speaking back in

00:20:25.380 dublin public i was watching adam schiff um who's got kind of a theatrical um let's say interest i guess

00:20:35.300 he wanted to be a script writer at one point and he was getting so theatrical when he was questioning

00:20:42.340 somebody in one of these hearings that it was actually impressive he wasn't really even trying to

00:20:48.900 you know make an argument on points because he was totally losing on whatever the argument was he was

00:20:53.300 getting killed so he just kept ratcheting up the emotion and then you're saying and then you're saying

00:20:59.620 that you would give money under these conditions uh no i'm not saying so you're saying it well no it's

00:21:06.500 the opposite i'm not oh so you're saying you would give money so under these conditions you would

00:21:11.780 throw the constitution under the bus is that right uh no nothing like that so all right we've agreed you

00:21:18.820 would throw the constitution under the bus and and the amount of emotion that was obviously theatrical

00:21:26.660 and fake was kind of impressive so it made me think he's a terrible politician but i'll bet he actually

00:21:35.860 would be good in theater like legitimately legitimately he looks like he has the chops so he could be

00:21:44.740 a professional actor anyway so he's got a future there uh speaking of grift here's what david sachs

00:21:54.580 says about ukraine he says uh with americans becoming exhausted with forever wars in the middle east

00:22:01.620 the quote democracy promotion grifters at usaid and ned and the rest of the ngos needed a new cause

00:22:09.700 ukraine was perfect as the most corrupt country in europe it would allow them to expropriate billions

00:22:17.460 now is that just the republican narrative because it's the one i see and it looks obvious to me do you

00:22:26.500 you think democrats understand that ukraine was part grift and part neocons wanting to destroy russia

00:22:37.860 or do do democrats think that we were protecting this spunky little country

00:22:44.740 because it should be part of nato like what what do democrats really think ukraine was all about

00:22:51.780 do they really not have any access to the narratives that are coming out from the republicans

00:23:00.100 it feels like they just think well let's just give them infinite more money that should solve everything

00:23:06.420 because putin's a bad bad man i'm not saying putin's a good man i'm just saying probably

00:23:13.780 this was a combination of people who looked for enormous grift opportunities and found them

00:23:21.460 and people who wanted to destroy russia and it was a opportunistic way to do it

00:23:27.060 so no it looks like a giant scam to us meanwhile um mar mario naufel is reporting that uh tucker

00:23:38.260 carlson had a conversation with the prime minister of hungary victor orban now if you're not following

00:23:44.980 closely romania is one of those countries that is uh sort of close to a trump-like view of the world

00:23:52.740 you know a conservative uh not buying into the mass immigration kind of thing and so

00:24:00.740 what would be the fate of hungary that just wants to be an independent little country and supportive

00:24:07.060 of the united states it would be a supportive country one would be a you know happy to be you know

00:24:13.380 working with us well uh because it's not exactly what the the democrats want or the liberal elite as you

00:24:21.860 might say so this is what victor orban says is happening he goes the fact is that the liberal

00:24:27.380 elite of the west used the taxpayer money of the united states citizens to spread their ideology

00:24:33.780 around the world and finance more than 60 ngos paid politicians and media outlets in hungary

00:24:43.220 it was a plot against our sovereignty and independence

00:24:46.180 uh this is exactly how we overthrow other countries we fund a whole bunch of stuff

00:24:55.060 non-government organizations but really it's ways to influence things like the media and politicians

00:25:01.860 and it's a way to get a whole bunch of money and assets and and intelligence people into somebody's

00:25:06.260 country and victor orban is completely aware of it he knows the whole plot he probably can name all 60 ngos

00:25:15.300 and he probably knows exactly which media outlets are being bought by the united states it's probably

00:25:22.500 exactly what it looks like that the united states is actively trying to overthrow not an enemy

00:25:33.060 this is the scary part uh hungary is not an enemy so why are we trying to overthrow their government

00:25:45.620 they're pretty much on our side and uh so that's uh probably exactly what it looks like

00:25:55.700 all right as you know it's getting confusing with all the crooked democrat judges trying to stop doge and

00:26:02.660 trump and the executive orders now there are too many to keep track of but what you need to know is that the

00:26:09.300 the general setup is that trump is using his executive authority uh largely to fire people downsize

00:26:18.260 and uh you know move budgets around and stuff like that cut budgets move them around and the democrats

00:26:25.220 are finding one reason after another to you know oppose it all and they're using different judges

00:26:31.860 and all the judges or most of them maybe it's just most they seem to have an obvious conflict of interest

00:26:39.460 you know they've got a relative who's a you know a long time democrat fundraiser or you know basically

00:26:47.060 they all have some kind of dirty connections that make them corrupt looking now i don't know if they're

00:26:53.140 corrupt but they they definitely have all the tells for being corrupt and they seem to be acting in a way that

00:27:00.980 almost certainly guarantees that the larger question of who gets to run the executive branch is it the

00:27:09.860 president or does every little pissant judge anywhere in the federal system get to stop anything that

00:27:16.420 happens if they don't like that president because at the moment the courts or at least these allegedly

00:27:25.380 crooked judges are seemingly running the executive branch by saying you can do this you can't do this

00:27:32.900 you can only do it then and there's some thought um that uh maybe this is actually going to be good

00:27:44.260 for trump and the thought goes like this that what the what trump really needs to do is to get

00:27:51.380 um give some or all of these to the supreme court and then let the supreme court decide the most

00:27:57.940 critical issue who gets to decide what happens in the executive branch is it the president especially

00:28:05.380 when it comes to budget and staffing is it the president or is it all these little pissant courts all

00:28:12.100 over the country now i feel like i feel like trump would probably win that if they got to some

00:28:20.420 generalized principle about who's in charge and who can stop you and at the moment the only power left

00:28:28.980 that the democrats have since they lost basically everything is these lifetime appointed i think

00:28:35.860 they're lifetime these uh appointed judges that are clearly just democrat corrupt operatives so that's

00:28:43.380 the the last power they have so if this stuff gets to the supreme court and it becomes a generalized

00:28:49.700 question who gets to decide what's happening in the executive branch i feel like the supreme court's

00:28:55.300 going to lean toward trump you know for all the obvious reasons so it could be that the last the last

00:29:04.260 remaining tool that's you know part of the government anyway or you know i guess part of the judicial

00:29:12.100 um the last remaining tool um the last remaining tool besides the soros prosecutors could be removed

00:29:19.540 from the system and not removed but at least ignored and uh maybe maybe cast aside so that could be a

00:29:28.100 really big deal that might actually be part of the trump strategy is to push every button until this gets to

00:29:34.980 the supreme court and then give some clarity and if the clarity goes trump's way then he can really get

00:29:41.940 busy so what we've seen so far may be just a preview because the courts are legitimately slowing him down

00:29:51.460 what if that stopped what if the courts stopped slowing him down i mean who knows

00:29:57.700 um anyway that's gonna get interesting so on uh cnn recently uh can i go the great points out that

00:30:11.780 there was a democrat strategist they just had him on and he was describing why trump is popular today

00:30:19.380 and he says that he joined the democratic party in 1989 because he wanted to fight nafta he wanted to

00:30:26.420 drain the swamp and he wanted to make sure his tax dollars weren't being wasted or going to foreign wars

00:30:33.140 so he's saying that basically in the 90s a democrat sounds like donald trump today

00:30:41.220 so he says that's why we lose him is we've let him steal our verbiage now there it is again

00:30:48.740 they think it's the way he says it it's not the way he says it it's what he says people prefer his

00:30:59.060 policies you can look at any poll and then what's the most important stuff and then look at what people

00:31:05.700 think trump can do it's not his verbiage you know he it's not his choice of words it's so ridiculous but

00:31:14.660 he does point out that even you know a lot of the ordinary democrats would look at trump and say

00:31:21.300 yeah that's exactly what i wanted all that stuff that's what i wanted you know give or take

00:31:27.140 you know abortion of course but abortion is now more of a state issue actually it's entirely a state

00:31:33.460 issue so he says that's why we keep losing to him um we've quit talking about uh americans keeping

00:31:40.420 america safe and blah blah blah blah blah blah and then and then he sums it up by saying that trump

00:31:46.340 is scary now here's the funny part the anti-trumpers they can't resist complimenting him because he keeps

00:31:56.500 doing good stuff like they can't really be against him trying to save money you can't really be against

00:32:05.060 that or getting rid of fraud it's hard to be against it you know fixing the border in days

00:32:12.820 it's hard to hate that stopping wars looks like he's already gonna stop the war in ukraine one way

00:32:18.580 or another it's hard to hate that too much so even when the democrats talk about trump they've got to give

00:32:25.700 him some props because it's stuff that they want to but then he ends with he's scary

00:32:31.860 okay how did that fit with all these stuff you said about he's a 90s democrat

00:32:40.900 if trump is like a 90s democrat not 100 of course because you know abortion and some few some things

00:32:46.820 are different but why is he scary he's scary just because he does exactly what you would do

00:32:56.260 they just can't avoid throwing in an empty generic insult it's just reflex i don't think as there's

00:33:06.020 any thought involved his entire good point he was making about trump being right in the middle of

00:33:12.820 where america wants the president to be that was a solid point and then he ruins the whole thing by

00:33:18.180 saying and he's scary well did you give me any evidence of the scary part the scary part is he gives

00:33:24.820 you exactly what the middle of america wants and most people agree oh that's scary but on the plus

00:33:33.540 side uh i do give cnn credit because they put you know scott jennings on the air every day seems like

00:33:41.220 or five days a week and they allowed this you know this uh strategist to say some things about trump

00:33:49.780 getting right and they do have other people who sometimes say trump gets some stuff right

00:33:55.860 so the news of course is biased there there are news that's biased on the right there's news is

00:34:02.740 biased on the left but if you look at fox news let's just take the five they make sure that they've got

00:34:11.780 somebody there who will say the other side so there's at least always one person there who argue the

00:34:16.500 other point um and then cnn is making sure they have somebody they're arguing the other point but

00:34:23.700 you know who doesn't do that msnbc so here's the mistake if you think msnbc is like the others it's

00:34:34.020 not even close msnbc you could do an entire college course on propaganda and all you'd have to do is turn

00:34:41.620 it on for half an hour and then talk about it that that could be the entire class all right let's see

00:34:47.060 what they said today because msnbc will never tell you that there's even an argument on the other side

00:34:54.500 they won't even mention it unless it's such a bad argument and it's misinterpreted you know it's

00:35:00.500 usually misinterpreted if they talk about the other side so just watch that watch how

00:35:07.300 you know that some outlets are biased but i don't mind the bias when it's explicit right so if i turn

00:35:17.220 on um fox news of course they're pro-trump of course they are but they don't hide it and and they

00:35:25.060 try to cover all the news you know so you get a little bit of both sides and cnn same thing but msnbc

00:35:31.380 nope it's pure propaganda and once you learn that then you can see all the technique i was thinking

00:35:38.660 about doing that live sometime just turning on msnbc and just saying click okay pause all right

00:35:45.620 that was propaganda here's what they did all right play okay pause because i think every 10 seconds

00:35:53.540 like literally every 10 seconds you could pause it and say all right here's what they just did

00:35:58.500 and just show the trick i'm gonna do that one of these days anyway um one of the tricks that msnbc did

00:36:12.820 this was spotted by paul bond this was good spotting remember when elon musk had a little x his kid and

00:36:21.300 he was in the oval office and the press was asking them questions and you thought to yourself man this

00:36:27.860 is great because it's both trump and musk the two people that you'd want to ask questions to

00:36:33.220 they're completely open to questions they're making the time they're answering as transparently as as

00:36:38.580 you'd want and wow this is good a lot of questions getting answered msnbc played it without the sound

00:36:46.900 so that they could talk over it so all you'd see is something that didn't look right because if you just

00:36:53.300 saw the video and you didn't know that they were doing a real good job of answering all of our

00:36:57.860 questions it would look like wait a minute there's somebody that musk guy he doesn't appreciate the

00:37:04.500 decorum and respect of the oval office he's not wearing a necktie and he's brought his kid in there

00:37:10.820 and then you'd say to yourself ah it looks like he's trying to be the co-president because you know

00:37:15.700 trump's sitting at a desk but musk is standing up and getting all the attention and oh this is our

00:37:21.620 co-president pure propaganda to to run the video and then just talk over it pure propaganda did cnn do

00:37:31.300 that no did fox do that no no they could say things after it but if you don't even play the video

00:37:41.060 you're just it's just pure propaganda

00:37:42.980 anyway um i saw a post by paul uh zippola and he was mocking uh yet another msn msnbc employee

00:37:57.700 who did a little video about i don't know it doesn't matter she was mad about renaming the

00:38:02.580 gulf of mexico or something like that but she had the gigantic crazy eyes and and i hope i'm the one

00:38:10.820 who's making this a thing because as paul pointed out um you know she has crazy eyes and it was the

00:38:19.380 craziest size i've ever seen there's just these gigantic saucers at first i thought it was ai

00:38:26.500 because i didn't think okay nobody really has gigantic eyes like that but not only were the eyes

00:38:31.620 gigantic i'm not entirely sure but it looked like she had her eyebrows removed from the normal place

00:38:38.100 and placed about halfway up her forehead i've never seen eyebrows that far away from eyes

00:38:43.860 and gigantic eyes too and i really have a question why why do these giant eyed people

00:38:52.820 the crazy eyes why are they all on one side what is causing that crazy i think now what it looks like

00:39:01.060 yeah what it looks like is that when the eyes go wide they know they're imagining as opposed to

00:39:08.580 talking about facts and they know that they have to open their eyes to sell what they're saying because

00:39:14.660 it's so ridiculous yeah if i told you that there was a ufo in my backyard i'd open my eyes like this

00:39:24.580 and there's a ufo in my backyard this isn't the case that i'm imagining it it's not really there

00:39:33.220 but if there were really a ufo in your backyard you probably wouldn't do that with your eyes you say

00:39:39.380 you can't believe it there's a there's a ufo in my backyard yeah i can show it to you here's my picture

00:39:44.900 the truth does not require those eyes those eyes do accompany making stuff up so once you see it you can't

00:39:53.780 see it the the big adam schiff eyes the aoc eyes the elizabeth warren eyes you see the pattern

00:40:03.940 adam schiff elizabeth warren aoc they all have crazy eyes you just watch them talk anyway i guess trump

00:40:13.620 just fired two dozen immigration judges according to politico that's a good start the imagery the

00:40:21.620 immigration judges are the ones who are granting asylum to people now why are we not just dismantling

00:40:30.420 the asylum system wasn't that the whole problem the the thing that allowed the democrats to lie to the

00:40:36.980 public forever is that they say oh we don't have many illegals coming across because they would just

00:40:44.180 call them illegal all they do is have judges say okay you're applying for asylum all right good now you're

00:40:50.260 legal because until we made a decision that the asylum sticks or it doesn't they were legal because

00:40:58.980 they'd gone through our process to claim asylum so why is there no conversation about just getting rid of

00:41:06.340 that because there can't be that many people who legitimately need asylum you know there must be some

00:41:14.980 way to handle it without just having everybody who comes across the border apply for it so i don't

00:41:21.620 know seems like that should be on the chopping block um we just found out that the uh so the california

00:41:32.420 department of finance revealed that the california california taxpayers are spending 9.5 billion to

00:41:40.500 provide health care to provide health care to illegal aliens that's just the health care that would be

00:41:47.300 a third of our deficit spending just for the health care if you added the other expenses

00:41:55.780 pretty much the entire economic problem of california which is pretty bad

00:42:00.740 is from immigration i i think it's going to be two-thirds of it and the rest is just poor management

00:42:06.980 so yeah we're a mess um so it's just i don't know how history is ever going to you know deal with us

00:42:18.340 the fact that california and other places we opened our borders we invited unlimited people to come in

00:42:26.260 to take our money who invites unlimited people in to take your money well people who are not giving

00:42:33.940 away their own money it's people who are giving away other people's money you wouldn't invite people

00:42:39.940 to give in your own money yeah so as long as you can make some money by having other people

00:42:46.500 give away their money i guess it's going to happen so that's pretty bad

00:42:55.700 bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:42:59.140 learn more at scotia bank dot com slash banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer

00:43:06.660 than you think you know the news um and and part of the news is that this is in the news

00:43:14.580 so the news is that it's news instead of a secret apparently there's a massive shipment of

00:43:20.500 uh 2 000 pound bombs from the u.s to israel now why would israel suddenly need a massive shipment

00:43:30.020 of gigantic bombs and these are ones that have been prevented uh i guess biden had not allowed these

00:43:37.460 so trump is allowing gigantic shipments of very large bombs times of israel's reporting now the reason i

00:43:46.740 say the story is that it's a story is is this the sort of thing we would normally be aware of

00:43:54.500 or is this negotiating with hamas hey hamas you know when we said that if you don't release all of the

00:44:03.620 all of the hostages uh that there would be hell to pay well they know what hell looks like now

00:44:12.180 i assume but i don't know that these are specifically for crushing tunnels because there's not much left

00:44:20.980 you wouldn't need these bombs for blowing up buildings in gaza because they're all they're

00:44:26.180 already blown up the only thing left is all the tunnels i mean i might be exaggerating a little but

00:44:32.580 basically it's the tunnels so is this a done deal that these are going to be used to clean out the

00:44:41.700 tunnels or is this part of the negotiating because at the same time i guess saudi arabia's got some arab

00:44:48.500 countries getting together to figure out what to do and they're trying to figure out how to you know

00:44:53.620 deal with hamas but also rebuild gaza which doesn't look very possible but the trump effect is

00:44:59.700 interesting because he's making other countries step up so saudi is really stepping up you know

00:45:07.220 they're hosting hosting uh you know the people who make the most difference over there to have some

00:45:14.020 serious conversations about how they can they can be the the solution i don't know what they're going

00:45:19.380 to come up with but it probably helps it probably helps negotiating with hamas to know that israel

00:45:26.420 has already brought in the weapons of their complete destruction so i feel like you know hamas is

00:45:34.100 never gonna deal or negotiate not in any serious way so i feel like the next step will be massive bombs

00:45:42.820 taking out tunnels and then we'll probably keep negotiating you know we'll take out a few tunnels and they'll

00:45:49.700 say now do you want to quit and release the hostages nope all right here's another tunnel boom

00:45:59.300 will that result in the death of some of the hostages

00:46:05.140 it could yeah it could well so trump causes some trouble by posting i guess the other day he said this

00:46:14.900 quote from napoleon he who saves his country does not violate any law so that's napoleon and then

00:46:24.420 what do you think people said about that now the context apparently is that these executive orders

00:46:32.100 are for the benefit of the country so there shouldn't be these courts calling them illegal

00:46:37.460 because if he's saving the country that can't be illegal but of course it can be illegal and it caused

00:46:46.740 somebody like adam schiff of course to say that it was spoken like a true dictator so why does he do this

00:46:56.260 why would trump whose biggest problem is that he's being accused of being like a dictator

00:47:02.100 it's his biggest problem why would he quote a dictator and and embrace the dictator's philosophy in public

00:47:11.300 what would be the reason for that now if it's the usual reason it's just to distract the bad guys so

00:47:19.540 they'll talk about that instead of talking about some way to you know actually defeat him so it could

00:47:26.740 be a distraction it could be just for fun i don't know i don't think i would have done it but we'll see

00:47:34.820 how that turns out i wouldn't have advised it

00:47:40.180 meanwhile uh chat gpt4 is out and sam altman says uh does lots of great things but it's also the best

00:47:51.620 search engine it's the best search engine out there and so i said to myself huh now that we know what

00:47:58.420 u.s aid really is that according to mike benz it's a basically just a front for cia activity and that

00:48:06.980 all of those things we think are foreign aid are really just mechanisms to build resources and you

00:48:14.020 know get our agents in and get influence over another country no matter what the charity is called

00:48:19.860 it's really only for that one purpose now that's what i believe is true but here's what uh you here's

00:48:29.700 what chat gpt4 which sam altman says is uh one of the best or one of the best search engines i guess

00:48:36.660 he's i think he says the best um i asked it is usa mostly a front for the cia because if it's a good

00:48:46.340 search engine it's going to get right the right answer which i already know because mike benza's

00:48:51.460 taught us this and here's what chat gpt said said while usaid itself is not a cia front there is a

00:48:59.860 documented history of its programs being exploited for intelligence and covert operations and this has

00:49:06.340 led to skepticism now it gave examples that during sort of the cold war there were several examples where

00:49:14.740 usa was in fact a cover for some cia activity but chat gpt is acting like that stopped a long time ago

00:49:25.060 oh yeah there were there are a few notable exceptions in the news but that was way back oh oh that but the

00:49:33.380 thing is we only find out about these things 40 years after they happen so um

00:49:43.700 and then i said uh yeah so so that was his answer nope it's not a front for the cia

00:50:50.740 meanwhile uh elon musk the reason he's gone quiet today allegedly quiet we'll see if he can last

00:50:59.220 is that he's working on the next release of grok 3 which he had claimed will be the most powerful ai in

00:51:06.980 the world so apparently it's trained faster better more completely than anything else and he's going to be

00:51:16.180 only honing the product all weekend so should be released tomorrow at 8 p.m pacific time so we'll get

00:51:26.180 a whole new ai you know that case of speaking of open ai you know the case of the uh the whistleblower

00:51:37.300 who was found dead and it was very suspicious circumstance and it was ruled a suicide but didn't

00:51:44.180 have the tells of a suicide it looked very much like he got murdered according to evidence in the uh

00:51:51.300 you know basically on his body etc and the family hired a private pathologist that said the gunshot

00:51:58.660 anomalies and injuries are inconsistent with suicide and i guess the police ignored that

00:52:05.620 and they just closed the investigation saying there's insufficient evidence of homicide

00:52:12.980 uh okay let's uh connect some dots now i don't know what's going on so this is just pure speculation

00:52:25.940 but we do know uh mark andreessen told us that the intelligence community in the united states

00:52:34.660 has said directly to the people who would invest in new startups don't invest in too many ai startups

00:52:42.500 because we're going to make sure that just a few big ones dominate and we'll have you know connections

00:52:49.780 into them basically so in other words we do know and it's just common sense it's just common sense

00:52:56.180 if ai is going to be as powerful as everybody thinks then of course our intelligence people need to

00:53:04.500 you know get control over it for their purposes now you might say no i don't want that and you might be

00:53:11.540 right so i'm not saying what's right or wrong but certainly the same people who thought they needed to

00:53:18.180 control all of the media if they thought they needed to control the news and they thought they needed to

00:53:25.540 control social media do you think they're not trying to control uh ai of course they are of course they

00:53:35.620 are but what's different from news and internet is that we're all we're all convinced that whoever

00:53:42.660 has the best ai whatever country will you know dominate the economies of the future so our cia and

00:53:52.900 our intelligence people have first of all an interest because it's where people are going to get

00:53:57.780 information so they want to control the information just like they do in every other domain

00:54:04.260 including foreign countries by the way so that the effort is not just domestic so of course

00:54:10.580 course there is 100 chance that our intelligence people and and therefore effectively our military

00:54:19.380 thinks that a u.s very robust strong ai situation is best for the country so what would happen if the

00:54:30.660 most vulnerable part of the entire industry which is the copyright situation what if that turned against

00:54:37.780 the ai companies and in particular open ai which seems to be at least the most funded well that would give

00:54:46.980 our intelligence community a reason to murder whoever was going to ruin the entire ai industry with some

00:54:54.900 whistleblowing because all it would take is one victory um over a copyright violation and then the floodgates

00:55:04.340 would open and then you would get other whistleblowers and you know maybe our entire industry might be

00:55:10.020 crippled now this is a problem that china presumably won't have because they got the you know the dictator

00:55:17.300 situation going on so what would happen if america crippled its own ai for completely legitimate reasons

00:55:26.500 meaning that there are people who had legitimate legal complaints and our justice system worked the way it's

00:55:33.780 supposed to took them seriously and maybe put an injunction on ai and said okay you can't develop

00:55:40.980 this until we settle this case and it's going to take three years to get it through the supreme court

00:55:47.140 what would that do to american ai it would destroy it and then we would fall behind and china and anybody

00:55:54.740 else would would would take over and then that would put us at what we would think would be a gigantic

00:56:02.740 domestic threat so putting it all together you're the cia or you're the you know intelligence community of the united states

00:56:13.620 and this whistleblower presents a really an existential threat to the entire country

00:56:23.700 now i'm not saying that's true i'm saying that you could easily imagine they would think it's true

00:56:28.980 they use an existential threat to the entire country because it could take out our biggest

00:56:33.620 ai companies install them and then nothing happens and we lose the biggest weapon that's ever been developed

00:56:42.740 so under these conditions and the suspiciousness of the case being called

00:56:48.100 uh suicide i think it's exactly what it looks like

00:56:55.220 i think it's exactly what it looks like it looks like it's an inside job and somebody on

00:57:01.460 what should be our team probably just killed them and it might be exactly what it looks like

00:57:09.060 because i'm trying to imagine the alternative

00:57:11.060 i don't think there's an alternative where our intelligence community would just let this run

00:57:17.540 through the courts it would be an existential risk and a really obvious one and one they'd have the

00:57:24.980 ability to stop through you know the worst possible means so i certainly have complete empathy for the family

00:57:33.540 um and the fact that they i don't think they'll ever have closure on this but

00:57:41.140 you could sort of see how the dots connect i don't know so i'm not saying that's true

00:57:47.460 but i don't know how it could go any other way

00:57:50.740 i just don't know how there could be any other way this would have gone

00:57:54.740 i think under every situation the person who's this whistleblower with this claim

00:57:59.860 who had documents could prove it with documents i think that person dies every time

00:58:07.860 and you know you can't be happy about that

00:58:13.220 well how many of you watched at least some clips from a u.s

00:58:18.820 hockey team playing a canadian team i don't pay attention to hockey so is it some kind of playoff

00:58:25.380 situation it's a playoff right and is that what it is so give me a fact check i don't know why

00:58:34.740 the u.s team and the canadian team were playing is it just a normal league play they're in the same league

00:58:40.980 is that a thing all right well anyway so for some reason it seemed like an important hockey game

00:58:48.500 and i guess the american national anthem when it was sung the canadians booed which seemed quite

00:58:57.700 disrespectful to the american team so the american team just decided that they're going to start

00:59:04.740 three fights in the first nine seconds or something and of course everybody knows that hockey players

00:59:12.580 fight a lot and it's a weird sport because the fighting is allowed up to a point the the refs actually

00:59:20.180 stand back so instead of breaking it up they stand back and they let the fight play out now they must have

00:59:28.340 some kind of internal rules where if the fighters go down like if one drags the other one down to the ice

00:59:35.060 they break it up immediately but as long as they're both standing on their skates and

00:59:40.820 uh they put their stick down i don't think they can fight by hitting each other with their hockey

00:59:45.940 stick that probably would be out of bounds but if the only thing they're doing is punching each other

00:59:51.220 while they're standing apparently the refs let that go as long as they want

00:59:55.860 as long as the people want to keep punching each other and i'm sure if the other teammates tried to

01:00:00.980 get into it the refs would would stop it so it's such a weird little not really even a sport

01:00:08.340 rule that you can punch each other all day long as long as you do it within these you know you

01:00:14.100 don't even need a reason if the reason was the national anthem oh good enough

01:00:19.780 so but watching how how theatrical it happened and then watching what appeared to be nobody getting

01:00:27.620 hurt whatsoever it looked like they were throwing wild punches they started throwing punches when both of

01:00:34.580 them had helmets on and they're they're like punching the helmets and then the helmets come off and then

01:00:41.220 there's a whole bunch of more punching but you really couldn't see anybody connect it looked like they

01:00:47.860 could just do these fake punching all day long because as long as they're sort of holding each other by

01:00:52.500 the jersey that they seem to be able to avoid the worst part of the punch and it reminded me of uh

01:00:59.300 you remember when jerry springer was a huge phenomenon on tv and after a while there would be a fight

01:01:08.980 every single episode so somebody who was on the panel up there on the stage with jerry springer would

01:01:15.220 always every single show attack somebody who they didn't like who was also on stage and and it would look

01:01:23.860 wild and the punches would be thrown in the slapping and the hair pulling but eventually they'd be pulled

01:01:29.780 apart and i started thinking wow you know the first few times i saw it i thought wow it's lucky nobody got

01:01:37.380 hurt and then it would happen a thousand times in a row like every single week and never did anybody get

01:01:45.460 hospitalized i didn't even see a black eye so it was obvious to me at the time that the

01:01:53.700 fights were staged um but let's call it semi-staged meaning that they didn't necessarily say all

01:02:02.340 right you can only be on tv if you get in a fight but we'll break it up don't hurt each other i don't

01:02:08.340 think they did that but i think that once it was obvious that fighting was going to be allowed

01:02:14.100 they maybe maybe they selected people who were a little bit more willing to do it you know maybe there

01:02:19.940 was subtle encouragement i think there was but i remember talking to people who didn't understand

01:02:26.020 that the the fighting was all staged and people would say oh no i i think they're just mad at each

01:02:32.660 other and there's just a lot of fighting and i would say okay you believe that a thousand times in a row

01:02:42.180 that somebody decided to take a swing at somebody on stage a thousand times in a row and a thousand times

01:02:48.180 in a row without anybody ever getting seriously hurt really that that looks organic to you and and

01:02:56.260 that's when i realized how dumb the world was because i was surrounded by adult people who voted who

01:03:03.620 believed that was real just organically happening and i would try to convince them no no it's it's more

01:03:09.460 like you know the old professional wrestling you know it's part of the show it's just entertainment no it's

01:03:16.100 it's not organic and people would mock me and they would say of course it's organic what are you

01:03:22.740 talking about and i thought oh my god we're in trouble if you can't tell that's fake so then i look

01:03:30.420 at these fights in hockey these look like fake fights to me but again i don't think anybody ever

01:03:38.500 said to the hockey players all right remember when you're fighting make it really fake i just think

01:03:44.180 they know that if they hospitalize another player it's going to come back to them and so they try to

01:03:51.060 make sure that you know maybe they graze a chin you know maybe somebody gets a little little tweak in

01:03:58.740 the ear but mostly just they're just punching the air and you know punching in the general direction of

01:04:05.060 people with no sense that they're trying to hurt anybody but you know how impressed we get that

01:04:14.180 trump does things that other people say were impossible well here's what trump did when it

01:04:19.540 comes to hockey because obviously trump's comments are the reason that canada and the us are acting

01:04:26.980 aggressive towards each other trump actually made me like hockey

01:04:33.540 i loved watching those fights even though they looked so staged not staged but they didn't look

01:04:39.140 serious i mean they weren't two people really trying to hurt each other so uh when i when i heard the

01:04:46.820 playback of the booing and you hear somebody booing the national anthem it just just automatically gets your

01:04:56.500 your juices going you're like what what there has to be some response to this they booed the national

01:05:03.540 anthem of our country and then you see the americans just throw down their gloves and just go trying to

01:05:09.780 punch the shit out of the canadian player just because they're a canadian player and the canadian players

01:05:15.620 having none of it and punching back just as hard or harder and it was so male

01:05:22.260 i just sort of liked it i mean i really liked it i genuinely enjoyed watching every one of the fights

01:05:31.780 every fake punch they threw because it fell right it just it just hit me exactly where i wanted to be hit

01:05:39.060 so so so to speak so i'm definitely going to be watching the next hockey game

01:05:47.220 between canada and the united states for the fights all right

01:05:52.740 um so apparently uh doge might be auditing fort knox to see if they have really gold there

01:06:04.260 have you heard that rumor it's a conspiracy theory i guess that fort knox hasn't had any actual gold

01:06:11.540 that's all been stolen or moved somewhere well zero hedge the publication zero hedge

01:06:19.380 brought it up on x and i think elon musk saw that comment and the next thing you know it looks like

01:06:27.540 fort knox is going to get audited now what do you think do you think the gold is there hasn't been

01:06:34.100 it audited in 50 years do you think that in the united states gold can sit in a secure facility for

01:06:43.140 50 years and nobody stole it i don't know i don't know i think alex jones was reporting that there seems

01:06:51.460 was it him somebody was saying that uh there seems to be some gold moving around the world and uh you

01:06:59.300 know maybe a little hoarding and that china might be hoarding some gold and it makes me wonder if

01:07:04.820 there is any preparation for you know paper money collapsing could it be that china united states

01:07:13.940 figure that if regular paper money goes to hell which seems like it's heading that direction that the

01:07:21.620 only value will be gold and that will at least we'll have that and there'll be some way to go forward

01:07:28.340 i don't know makes you wonder what's up but we'll find out if there's an audit when i found out my

01:07:35.380 friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from

01:07:42.100 winners like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful

01:07:48.500 gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots

01:07:54.660 that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start

01:08:01.700 winning winners find fabulous for less um according to people matters uh the doge layoffs went a little

01:08:10.980 too far with some nuclear weapons experts and uh they were fired by mistake and then rehired

01:08:19.380 so is it i don't know if they were weapons or just nuclear experts a little unclear on that but this

01:08:28.260 is exactly the way the system's supposed to work remember the whole point of doge you know the the sort

01:08:35.300 of the dna of the operating principle is they're going to move fast they know they're going to break

01:08:41.540 stuff and then when somebody points it out they're going to fix it so move fast break stuff fast fix

01:08:48.660 stuff fast here it is they move fast they made some mistakes in the hiring people said whoa you we can't

01:08:56.820 replace these nuclear experts you're gonna have to keep them and then they're rehired now i don't know if

01:09:03.620 they've successfully rehired them but the point is this is exactly what i want to see i want to see they go

01:09:10.660 too far that but they go fast they make mistakes they fix it move on perfect that's perfect system

01:09:19.860 with it it incorporates the fact that there will be mistakes and then then it just deals with them

01:09:28.660 all right um i guess jd vance gave a provocative speech at that european security conference whatever

01:09:35.780 it was called and uh went at the europeans for saying you know why do you expect our help in america

01:09:43.700 when you're opposing our most basic core values of free speech by trying to censor americans i love that

01:09:50.340 frame why are we helping you if you're trying to stop the very thing that makes america america free

01:09:56.740 speech so you know you could do it to yourselves we don't recommend it but don't do it to us

01:10:03.780 if if you're trying to censor us and you're asking for us to defend you no and and i think that has to

01:10:12.020 be a hard no i literally think if if europe is censoring the united states we should give them no

01:10:20.180 defense whatsoever none uh 100 100 on board with letting europe fall to whoever wants to take them over

01:10:31.460 because if they can't give us that one thing the one thing that they should just keep the

01:10:37.300 out of our business with with what we say in america absolutely not and and i'm not i'm not joking

01:10:47.220 about that i say zero defense for europe as long as they're trying to censor us in the united states

01:10:55.620 zero no there's no negotiating on that you need to get that stuff taken care of because

01:11:04.260 no hard now we're not going to do a thing for you yeah we we could watch russia just roll up europe

01:11:11.380 i'd be fine with it if that's the alternative if that's the alternative i'm fine with it because

01:11:18.260 you know what putin doesn't do putin doesn't try to censor us does he has putin ever tried to censor

01:11:26.660 the united states i don't believe so but if we get censored by europe and they do have a way to do

01:11:34.500 that because they can get our multinational corporations in trouble uh so not cool that you're

01:11:43.300 just dead to me that's what i feel um so good job jd vance see you got really good good grades for

01:11:53.940 not just presenting america well but doing it extra well and and saying what needed to be said

01:12:03.220 palmer lucky is on sean ryan's podcast and he had some interesting things to say about manufacturing he

01:12:09.380 said that trump understands that if we don't manufacture in america we're just everyone else's

01:12:14.580 bitch so he talked about how china could just turn off the economy of the united states anytime it wants

01:12:21.060 because we can't manufacture over here and if we can't get the chinese goods we're basically dead

01:12:28.260 so it does it is a enormous strategic risk to have your manufacturing outsourced and uh looks like

01:12:37.540 it's coming back i think we'll figure out how to get some of it back but yeah i would agree with uh

01:12:44.420 palmer lucky that if you can't manufacture in america you don't really have a future

01:12:50.100 i think that's fair to say you don't have a future if you can't manufacture locally

01:12:56.020 uh if you're not following the account by zion lights which is a person's first and last name

01:13:02.180 first name zion last name lights just like it sounds like the lights you turn on um she is uh

01:13:10.660 one of our best uh journalists slash experts on nuclear energy and and follows us plus europe and

01:13:19.780 it's really sad to see that germany phased out their nuclear now they had reasons of course you know

01:13:27.140 they have people afraid of it and blah blah blah but apparently they didn't accomplish their their

01:13:34.340 goals for you know co2 which they could have been a lot closer to if they kept their nuclear

01:13:40.900 and they're in a world to hurt it in great britain is getting the great britain is currently pro-nuclear

01:13:49.700 at the government level but the society is resisting it so there's a big pushback in great britain

01:13:56.020 and here's what i think i think again this could be one of america's advantages over everybody except

01:14:05.380 perhaps china because china is just going gung-ho with every form of energy they can get

01:14:10.740 because they have unlimited need for energy so they're doing everything right just energy first

01:14:15.780 boom boom boom um and i think the united states is maybe finally at a place where we can just say

01:14:25.700 let's do what makes sense and we weren't there for decades for decades we were like no nuclear power

01:14:32.420 will kill us all and we don't know what to do with the waste and all those problems were solved

01:14:37.940 those are all solved problems the safety the waste it's all solved the the waste you basically just

01:14:43.620 keep on site because that's a total solution so i think that the fact that democrats at least in

01:14:52.100 leadership democrats and also leader republicans and also the president are unambiguously pro-nuclear

01:15:00.660 power pro-nuclear power is really really a good sign and you know all of silicon valley is pro-nuclear

01:15:10.900 power because they need it for ai and everything else so if you've got all your tech geniuses your top

01:15:18.980 republicans and your top democrats just fully on board with nuclear power we're in much better shape

01:15:28.180 than the countries that are not like that so france is looking strong you know they were

01:15:33.700 they were early and smart on nuclear power so they've got a good nuclear power system going there

01:15:39.860 but uh in america is probably 10 to 20 years from you know being able to seriously say we made a

01:15:46.420 difference in nuclear but maybe maybe faster if we do the small modular stuff we'll see

01:15:51.940 well meanwhile zelensky over in ukraine is calling for the formation of a european armed force now the

01:16:01.940 idea is that since trump is saying well we can't do everything in america or we're doing too much

01:16:08.500 you need to take care of yourself europe that zelensky says they're going to need a european armed force

01:16:14.580 now uh it would not replace nato it would augment it it would be you know to boost nato's power but

01:16:25.220 also have their own independent military i guess independence is the wrong word but a european

01:16:31.300 military now does anybody care what zelensky thinks europe should do

01:16:35.940 i don't even need to discuss whether this is a good idea or a bad idea it came from zelensky

01:16:44.580 i don't think anybody's listening to him anymore indeed um looks like trump and putin are planning to

01:16:51.220 meet in saudi we don't have a date yet but they're going to meet in saudi arabia to discuss ending the

01:16:57.700 war do you know who they're not bringing they're not bringing zelensky to the conversation about

01:17:05.460 ending the war in ukraine do you know why they're not bringing zelensky why would you

01:17:12.580 he's not relevant because he's going to do whatever we tell him to do in the end

01:17:17.620 but we're but they're also not bringing anybody from europe so there'll be no european and no ukrainian

01:17:25.940 just trump and putin just got deciding what a what a piece would look like and i think the

01:17:31.380 implication is that if trump comes up with a deal europe's just gonna have to eat it so better hope

01:17:39.940 it's a deal that europe can live with because uh and i have to admit if this were a normal situation

01:17:50.900 you would want all the stakeholders to be involved you'd want everybody who had an interest to be you know

01:17:58.020 weighing in but i go back to jamie diamond when jamie diamond was doing his rant that got recorded

01:18:05.700 he was being mad at his own employees and his own company for you know not stepping up basically one

01:18:12.020 of the things he talked about was somebody who couldn't get something done without 14 different

01:18:17.380 departments approving it and he was just saying you can't do that you can't run a great company

01:18:22.980 where if you want to do something 14 different departments have to approve it and he said something

01:18:30.420 like give me the names of those 14 department heads and i'll fire them today because they shouldn't be

01:18:36.660 doing that they're they're not on the right side if there are 14 of them this is a similar situation

01:18:42.660 and it's one of the things i like most about trump is the business experience do you think trump

01:18:48.980 doesn't know that if he brings even one extra person in it fucks up the whole thing of course

01:18:55.540 he knows that well what happened if you brought two extra people to your negotiation it fucks it up

01:19:01.860 twice as badly what if you brought three different countries that all have an interest then it's triple

01:19:09.380 fucked so trump is doing the only thing that can work jamie diamond is telling you the only thing that can

01:19:16.900 work is you can't bring in 14 people you just can't do it there's no way to get from here to there

01:19:24.340 through 14 different interests you've got to find something that works for two key players arguably the

01:19:30.980 two important ones and then if you're going to get it done you've got to shove it down the throats of

01:19:36.580 the other people live and if it's not their perfect solution there's no other way to do it

01:19:41.140 so if you think he's you know being a dictator and blah blah blah well no more than jamie diamond

01:19:48.820 somebody's got to be in charge and somebody's got to say this process can work this prog this other

01:19:55.060 process where you have 14 people deciding what works that could never work that can never work

01:20:01.620 so if you want something to work yeah two people at a summit is how i'd do it that's exactly how i would

01:20:08.580 do it and i would definitely leave zelensky home no doubt about that so anyway but also saudi arabia's

01:20:17.220 hosting that arab summit as i said so i like the fact that saudi is acting like a real ally have you

01:20:26.260 noticed that it's it feels like not all of our allies react like allies but there might be some

01:20:34.500 exceptions you know there could easily be some exceptions i don't know about but i do appreciate

01:20:39.940 i do appreciate that saudi seems somewhat consistently trying to make sure that america and

01:20:47.540 saudi arabia have a strong ongoing connection and they're not sabotaging us while secretly trying to

01:20:54.420 help us or vice versa so i know i know i'm speaking too soon and maybe they're doing things we don't

01:21:02.660 like as well but i kind of like the way it looks the way it feels so good job saudi arabia so far

01:21:14.420 and uh then according to san francisco university of california san francisco

01:21:20.260 um did you know that there's an alarming rise in advanced prostate cancer in california

01:21:27.460 so california more than other states but also um the other states stopped reducing the cancer

01:21:35.300 deaths and they've plateaued so the idea is that specific cancer prostate cancer has gotten worse in

01:21:43.780 california now npcs would you like to blame the the vaccination for that npcs remember swimming is the

01:21:55.540 best form of exercise french press is the best for coffee and that green stuff is soil and green

01:22:03.620 now this started before the pandemic so before the pandemic listen to me before the pandemic

01:22:14.180 this trend started it seems related to they say it's related to less screening

01:22:23.060 so the less screening they say is leading to worse outcomes i'm not entirely sure that makes a difference

01:22:29.540 because i've seen studies that say that great britain doesn't doesn't do as much

01:22:36.260 screening as we do for this specific cancer and their life expectancies are much different

01:22:42.100 so there's a little conflicting data some data says that this screening doesn't make a difference

01:22:48.980 but california's seeming to indicate it did i don't know i don't trust any news

01:22:56.500 i don't trust any data remember all data is the fox counting the chickens and you can never trust the fox

01:23:04.580 to count the chickens but the only thing i wanted to point out is this is a case where it definitely

01:23:10.180 happened before the pandemic and before the vaccinations so there might be some several

01:23:17.700 unrelated reasons that uh you know the cancer rates are up that don't have to do with vaccinations

01:23:25.140 and don't have to do with covid but also there could be some of that so i'm not ruling out that

01:23:30.340 any of that's you know i'm not i'm not saying that the vaccinations do or do not cause a problem like

01:23:36.260 that but there do see do seem to be some other reasons so just so you heard that well if you didn't

01:23:43.140 know it um i posted on locals yesterday and then i reposted on x um a lesson on risk management now before

01:23:54.340 you before you before you tell me what i'm going to tell you just wait for me to say it first okay

01:24:00.260 nobody cares about who got a vaccination during the pandemic it's old news old story but it's a really

01:24:09.140 good lesson in risk management and uh i would argue that if you if you weren't good at risk management

01:24:19.220 you often said something like and and people said to the this to me and comment to my my lesson they

01:24:26.740 said uh scott the only thing i needed to know is that the government said it was a good idea and it

01:24:34.420 was called experimental so therefore that's all i needed to know and so i thought to myself are there

01:24:42.340 any examples where the government wanted you to do something that was good for you because if

01:24:47.940 everything the government recommends is bad for you that's a pretty good reason if every time the

01:24:54.500 government said you should do this was always wrong just always then i guess you wouldn't need to know

01:25:02.020 anything else you just say oh who's who's saying oh the government's saying it are the government okay

01:25:07.620 well i'm not not going to do that but then i thought to myself how many things are there that the

01:25:14.420 government says you should do that are good ideas are there any i see you saying seat belts and smallpox

01:25:24.100 um well doesn't the government say you probably shouldn't have asbestos in your house

01:25:32.900 they say that right are they wrong should you put some asbestos in your house

01:25:37.700 um how about the food pyramid the food pyramid used to be all wrong and maybe it's a little wrong

01:25:46.820 now but would you do the opposite of the food pyramid would you eat a bunch of processed foods

01:25:53.220 and sugar foods as much as you wanted because the government says you shouldn't so i guess you have to ask

01:26:01.300 yourself what is the say the the people who haven't seen my video they still think they know how to do risk

01:26:08.900 management so i tried to try to deal with those of you who really don't understand the any risk

01:26:16.820 management whatsoever those of you who just said the government said it's good for me therefore it's bad

01:26:24.260 or related to that pfizer said it's good for me therefore it's bad or we use the word experimental

01:26:33.300 they said it's experimental and therefore why would i take an experiment those are not reasons

01:26:41.700 if you thought that that was good risk management that you're just looking at who said it

01:26:46.340 that doesn't really work how many of you don't know that that's not really any kind of standard

01:26:54.260 that's part of reason that's that's like reading you know uh chicken entrails and trying to predict

01:27:03.300 the future that's like a horoscope it's like flipping a coin that it's not part of the reasoned

01:27:10.660 the reasoning or the it's not part of reason it's just irrational

01:27:16.340 but sometimes irrational reasons can get you to the right answer if it's a coin flip

01:27:22.500 if there are only two possibilities it's good for you it's not then any method you use is likely to

01:27:29.140 have a 50 chance of working all right i'm going to pray to the sun gods

01:27:37.060 well you had a 50 50 chance of getting the right answer no matter how ridiculous your reasoning was to

01:27:42.900 get there so here's what's happened i've just got tired of stupid people so the stupid people who

01:27:50.660 are giving me stupid reasons for why they did or did not get the shot you just have to be

01:27:58.820 you have to understand that you're stupid and just leave me alone so if you don't want to listen to my

01:28:04.900 risk analysis just leave me alone because you're not part of any helpful anything you you like to

01:28:12.420 brag that you've got one lucky thing right i'm not going to put up with it anymore so it's also good to

01:28:18.900 find out who to block so i blocked all the people who said oh i just listened to the government and uh did

01:28:25.060 the opposite all right um every once in a while the government gets one right but no now and the same

01:28:38.580 people are now going to say oh scott says you should do whatever the government says because their their

01:28:45.540 reasoning is so bad that they have to distort what i say to disagree with it if you actually agreed with

01:28:53.140 what or if you had a reason you'd give a reason but usually oh he's he's so dumb he just believes

01:29:00.420 whatever he's told the opposite of the risk management lesson i give you all right

01:29:12.020 yes my my critics are experiencing severe cognitive dissonance now you you can decide if i'm the one

01:29:20.020 one you can just listen to the video and you would very quickly detect if i had cognitive dissonance

01:29:27.300 because i make a bunch of claims and you can just look at them all it either fits together or doesn't

01:29:33.460 and if you don't think it fits together

01:29:40.100 somebody says my risk management was better than yours well not your reasoning

01:29:45.460 yeah not your reasoning just trying to help all right so again nobody cares about the pandemic it's

01:29:54.900 old news but it might help you understand how risk management works um for those of you who

01:30:03.540 want to stick around on locals i'm gonna say hi to you the rest of you have a great sunday i'll see you

01:30:10.420 at tomorrow same time same place but locals supporters only i will be private with you in 30 seconds
