00:00:00.000 You feel like doing it this morning.
00:00:02.520 You know when everything goes wrong all at the same time
00:00:05.360 and you've got two minutes to show time?
00:00:08.120 You never really recover.
00:00:11.300 There's something about the first minute that sets the tone.
00:00:16.780 So just imagine I gave you the simultaneous sip
00:00:20.500 and then you had a sip.
00:00:24.980 Nothing's working today.
00:00:30.000 Maybe that's what I needed.
00:00:33.880 Maybe it was the coffee I needed.
00:00:36.880 Audio is good.
00:00:38.080 Good.
00:00:39.340 At least on locals.
00:00:42.420 I can't see the comments on X if there are any.
00:00:47.240 But if you're on X and you're saying,
00:00:49.300 why is the sound not good?
00:00:51.600 It's because it's on my phone today.
00:00:54.080 Technical difficulties.
00:00:55.960 No microphone is connected.
00:00:57.460 Well, let's talk about all the news.
00:01:02.980 I saw Joe Rogan talk about Meta's new glasses.
00:01:06.260 You know, they look like regular glasses,
00:01:07.960 but it allows you to see things extra.
00:01:12.480 So you'll see your regular environment,
00:01:14.140 but extra stuff added.
00:01:16.040 And Joe Rogan was talking about some Harvard kid
00:01:19.440 who figured out how to use facial recognition software
00:01:23.780 with these glasses.
00:01:24.840 So I guess you can add your own apps.
00:01:27.840 And if you look at somebody with the glasses,
00:01:30.960 it calls up their social media and Wikipedia
00:01:34.020 and whatever is available about them online.
00:01:38.900 Now, Joe seemed to think that that was a terrible idea
00:01:44.260 and that I guess they could find your address
00:01:51.480 and everything else if your address is public.
00:01:55.560 So here's my take on this.
00:01:58.260 You can wish that this didn't exist.
00:02:02.020 You could hope that people would not use these glasses
00:02:05.140 for something that looks like a privacy violation of some sort.
00:02:09.960 But it's not going to happen.
00:02:13.000 So it's not that I'm in favor of it or against it.
00:02:16.360 It's sort of like complaining about the rain.
00:02:19.660 It's just going to rain, whether you complain about it or not.
00:02:23.740 And technology is definitely going to give you this capability.
00:02:28.680 You will be able to see things in your glasses
00:02:31.600 that are not in the environment.
00:02:32.900 Some of it will be telling you something
00:02:35.720 about the person you're talking to.
00:02:37.600 I guarantee it.
00:02:38.560 There's no way around it,
00:02:39.840 whether it comes from individuals who are hacking it
00:02:43.300 or it comes from the company meta.
00:02:46.000 It's just going to happen.
00:02:47.900 So again, I'm not in favor of it or against it.
00:02:52.600 It's just going to happen.
00:02:53.480 But in related news, there's, according to the Brighter Side of News,
00:03:01.400 Joshua Shapin is writing,
00:03:03.260 that there's some emotion-sensitive technology
00:03:08.200 that people could wear so you could tell
00:03:11.600 what their emotions are in real time.
00:03:13.940 I guess they've figured out how to use galvanic skin responses
00:03:17.120 in a more granular way than we've used them before
00:03:21.440 so that you could actually tell people's specific
00:03:24.540 and immediate emotions based on what's happening around them.
00:03:29.760 Now, it's not exactly completely done,
00:03:32.660 and it's a level above, you know, mood rings
00:03:35.920 and things that we've had before.
00:03:38.220 But now imagine putting these two technologies together.
00:03:42.280 So imagine you could walk up to a stranger
00:03:44.200 and he would know something about them.
00:03:47.720 And let's say one of the things about them is they like dogs.
00:03:51.440 Because they've got a lot of dogs on their social media.
00:03:54.580 You could immediately engage them in a conversation.
00:03:58.220 If you were shy, you could walk up and say,
00:04:00.880 whoa, you've got a corgi?
00:04:03.660 My aunt had a corgi.
00:04:05.820 Those are great.
00:04:07.140 That would be a little creepy if they didn't know
00:04:08.720 you had the special glasses on.
00:04:10.440 But, you know, imagine a time when everybody has them.
00:04:13.280 Everybody knows.
00:04:15.020 And then you could determine
00:04:16.780 whether the things you were saying
00:04:18.840 were making the person you're talking to happy or not.
00:04:21.220 So, I don't know.
00:04:25.040 There could be a big benefit to shy people.
00:04:30.500 Because shy people don't know what to say
00:04:32.620 to new people that they're meeting.
00:04:35.060 That's the biggest problem.
00:04:35.980 If they knew exactly what to say,
00:04:38.300 nobody would be shy.
00:04:39.760 But imagine if you just saw enough about somebody
00:04:42.700 that you could walk up to anybody
00:04:44.620 and just use their name
00:04:46.180 and you'd know something about them.
00:04:48.760 It would solve a lot of shyness problems.
00:04:51.520 Speaking as a shy person.
00:04:53.940 Well, I'm a recovered shy person.
00:04:56.000 The best way to recover from shyness
00:04:58.140 is to become famous.
00:05:01.520 It turns out that when you're famous,
00:05:03.840 all that shyness stuff just goes away.
00:05:05.640 I did not expect that.
00:05:09.460 Anyway, so there's two technologies
00:05:11.060 that have changed things.
00:05:13.560 We'll get to the big politics in a minute.
00:05:17.020 So, according to Fox News,
00:05:19.960 Alexander Hall is reporting that
00:05:21.640 San Francisco Asian American voters
00:05:25.400 are basically walking away from the Democrats.
00:05:28.960 Now, of course, it's not all of them.
00:05:32.600 It's never all of them.
00:05:34.140 Whoever you're talking about,
00:05:35.200 it's never all of anybody.
00:05:37.300 But does that surprise you?
00:05:40.700 How many of you would be surprised
00:05:42.460 to learn that Asian Americans in San Francisco
00:05:45.660 are starting to turn toward Trump
00:05:48.240 in a fairly dramatic and very measurable way?
00:05:52.820 Who's surprised about that?
00:05:55.420 I would argue that you could only be surprised about that
00:05:58.580 if you didn't have any Asian American friends.
00:06:02.080 Anybody who has Asian American friends,
00:06:04.900 you already knew it.
00:06:06.420 You already knew it.
00:06:07.780 So, I'm not going to dig any deeper into that
00:06:10.800 because I'd be, you know,
00:06:12.260 sort of talking for a group
00:06:13.920 that I shouldn't be talking for.
00:06:15.940 But if that surprised you,
00:06:18.880 it's only because you didn't have any contact
00:06:20.520 with that community.
00:06:22.480 Yeah, it's a very common sense.
00:06:26.360 Yeah, I guess that's as far as I can go.
00:06:29.320 I'll say that the Asian American community
00:06:31.780 is very common sense based.
00:06:34.580 What works?
00:06:35.580 Oh, let's do that.
00:06:37.500 What doesn't work?
00:06:38.900 Oh, we'll avoid that.
00:06:40.580 Just common sense.
00:06:41.720 So, yeah, of course,
00:06:42.700 they'd be driven toward common sense solutions.
00:06:46.720 Meanwhile, our favorite crazy Democrat
00:06:49.280 representative, Jasmine Crockett.
00:06:51.540 She said on some radio show or podcast
00:06:57.240 just recently that Republican voters
00:07:00.180 don't like to read or learn facts.
00:07:03.840 They don't like to read or learn facts.
00:07:11.500 What I love about this is Democrats can't learn.
00:07:15.220 There's just no learning happening at all.
00:07:17.940 If I can teach the Democrats just one thing,
00:07:23.120 just one thing, don't do this.
00:07:27.360 Do not make general statements
00:07:30.260 about all Republicans.
00:07:33.380 It's so dumb.
00:07:35.160 It's like dumb on a level
00:07:36.680 that it's hard to even fathom.
00:07:38.740 But still doing it.
00:07:41.160 And when I see this,
00:07:43.100 I just say to myself,
00:07:44.280 we need more Jasmine Crockett.
00:07:45.940 Because the more Jasmine Crockett
00:07:48.180 there is in the world,
00:07:49.640 the longer Republicans will have,
00:07:51.440 you know,
00:07:52.140 total control of the government.
00:07:55.660 Well, maybe Jasmine Crockett
00:07:58.240 will have a new job opportunity someday
00:08:00.160 because Joy Reid's show on MSNBC
00:08:02.900 has reportedly been canceled.
00:08:05.200 I guess it's going to run
00:08:06.520 for the rest of this week
00:08:07.840 and then she will be out.
00:08:11.040 Now, what would be the worst name
00:08:13.640 to give your own TV show
00:08:15.560 if there were some chance
00:08:17.400 you would ever get canceled?
00:08:20.660 It's called the Reid Out.
00:08:23.020 Reid as in her last name,
00:08:24.680 R-E-I-D.
00:08:26.360 That's the name for the show.
00:08:27.880 Reid Out.
00:08:29.380 What is the news today?
00:08:31.760 Reid Out.
00:08:34.400 Yeah.
00:08:34.660 So they should have conferred with me
00:08:38.120 at the beginning.
00:08:39.240 It's like,
00:08:39.760 if we give it this name,
00:08:42.100 is anybody going to be able
00:08:43.200 to mock it later?
00:08:44.940 And I would say,
00:08:46.180 yes.
00:08:47.440 Yes, they will be able
00:08:48.580 to mock it later.
00:08:50.040 So maybe rethink that.
00:08:54.180 It also made me think that
00:08:56.020 if you imagine that someday
00:08:58.420 the newsreaders will be robots
00:09:00.440 and AI,
00:09:02.020 who would be easier to replace
00:09:04.660 than Joy Reid?
00:09:07.740 Allow me to do my AI robot impression
00:09:11.080 of Joy Reid's replacement.
00:09:14.560 Today in the news,
00:09:16.220 the weather is 85 degrees
00:09:17.920 in San Francisco
00:09:18.880 because of white supremacy.
00:09:22.780 Today in the news,
00:09:23.960 the New York Giants
00:09:26.980 won a game
00:09:28.280 because of white supremacy.
00:09:31.520 I mean,
00:09:31.840 how hard can they make an AI
00:09:33.000 that just reproduces Joy Reid?
00:09:35.560 Because of racism.
00:09:37.420 There's racism.
00:09:38.840 Trump is bad.
00:09:40.040 Orange Hitler.
00:09:40.940 Orange Hitler.
00:09:41.900 Chaos.
00:09:42.900 There's chaos.
00:09:43.840 Orange Hitler.
00:09:45.940 All right.
00:09:48.500 Meanwhile,
00:09:49.620 Trump is on
00:09:50.580 Choose Social
00:09:51.880 dunking on MSNBC.
00:09:54.700 And he calls them
00:09:55.560 MSDNC,
00:09:57.400 as in they're basically
00:09:58.820 a Democrat
00:09:59.460 function.
00:10:02.720 He says,
00:10:03.380 MSDNC is even worse
00:10:05.300 than CNN.
00:10:06.640 They shouldn't even have
00:10:07.520 a right to broadcast.
00:10:09.000 Only in America.
00:10:11.900 Now,
00:10:12.520 I, of course,
00:10:14.380 believe they should have
00:10:15.320 a right to broadcast
00:10:16.260 because of free speech.
00:10:18.240 I think he's being
00:10:19.120 a little hyperbolic.
00:10:21.120 But
00:10:21.340 it made me think
00:10:22.980 and I don't know
00:10:24.840 the answer to this.
00:10:26.320 Maybe you can tell me
00:10:27.100 in the comments.
00:10:28.140 If you're a
00:10:29.100 news network,
00:10:31.180 do you get
00:10:32.160 some
00:10:33.040 extra
00:10:34.940 government
00:10:36.280 protection?
00:10:38.880 In other words,
00:10:39.540 if you do the news,
00:10:41.620 does that,
00:10:42.200 does the government say,
00:10:43.260 oh,
00:10:43.380 you can use these airwaves
00:10:44.720 or whatever?
00:10:45.440 Now,
00:10:45.620 I don't know if it applies
00:10:46.500 to cable.
00:10:48.580 But
00:10:48.780 is there anything
00:10:50.680 like if you're
00:10:51.520 in the news business,
00:10:53.040 you get some
00:10:53.580 extra rights?
00:10:54.760 Is that a thing?
00:10:55.940 It used to be
00:10:56.680 when the
00:10:57.540 airwaves were
00:10:58.840 limited
00:10:59.220 in bandwidth.
00:11:02.160 But I think
00:11:02.820 it did.
00:11:03.740 So I'm not
00:11:04.480 an expert on that.
00:11:06.000 But it does
00:11:06.760 ask the question,
00:11:08.680 if something
00:11:09.520 is pretending
00:11:10.280 to be a news network,
00:11:12.520 but yet
00:11:13.080 in every way
00:11:13.800 it functions
00:11:14.320 as a propaganda organ,
00:11:16.580 does it have
00:11:18.540 a right to exist?
00:11:20.200 I think it does
00:11:21.400 because lying
00:11:22.900 is still legal.
00:11:24.080 You can lie
00:11:24.660 all you want.
00:11:25.540 You can be
00:11:25.880 as biased
00:11:26.340 as you want.
00:11:27.660 But it does
00:11:28.680 raise the question,
00:11:29.780 is there anything
00:11:30.700 that's different
00:11:32.820 about MSNBC?
00:11:34.520 Now,
00:11:34.760 there's some thought
00:11:35.400 that the
00:11:35.940 management of
00:11:37.100 MSNBC
00:11:38.480 is trying to
00:11:39.300 move away
00:11:41.520 from doing
00:11:42.240 nothing but
00:11:42.820 criticizing
00:11:43.400 Trump.
00:11:44.520 We'll see.
00:11:47.040 Anyway,
00:11:47.600 it makes me wonder
00:11:48.200 if the Trump effect
00:11:49.180 took out Joy Reid.
00:11:51.500 Do you think
00:11:52.320 that Trump
00:11:53.260 is the reason
00:11:53.880 that Joy Reid
00:11:54.560 is losing her job?
00:11:56.600 I wonder.
00:11:58.080 Because if it
00:11:58.700 hadn't been
00:11:59.220 Trump being
00:12:00.060 president,
00:12:01.600 wouldn't she
00:12:02.140 have some
00:12:02.700 positive things
00:12:03.440 to say?
00:12:04.000 Let's say a
00:12:04.460 Democrat were
00:12:05.340 president.
00:12:06.520 Wouldn't she
00:12:06.980 have some
00:12:07.340 positive things
00:12:07.960 to say?
00:12:08.680 And then
00:12:09.040 maybe her
00:12:09.980 ratings would
00:12:11.160 not have
00:12:11.480 collapsed?
00:12:12.900 But when
00:12:13.460 you've got
00:12:13.820 a president
00:12:14.460 who's
00:12:15.000 polling over
00:12:15.720 50%
00:12:16.460 in popularity
00:12:17.200 and he's
00:12:17.820 doing a lot
00:12:18.320 of things
00:12:18.620 that people
00:12:18.980 want,
00:12:20.000 if the
00:12:20.400 only thing
00:12:21.200 you can
00:12:21.560 do is
00:12:22.480 call him
00:12:22.880 Warren
00:12:23.120 Chandler
00:12:23.480 day after
00:12:24.000 day after
00:12:24.440 day,
00:12:24.740 I can see
00:12:26.480 how your
00:12:26.780 management
00:12:27.160 would get
00:12:27.560 tired of that.
00:12:28.180 makes sense
00:12:29.500 to me.
00:12:32.040 It also
00:12:32.940 made me
00:12:33.340 wonder if
00:12:33.880 Trump can
00:12:34.680 recoup all
00:12:35.820 of his
00:12:36.160 legal expenses
00:12:37.040 from the
00:12:37.820 law fair
00:12:38.280 and all
00:12:39.320 of his
00:12:39.600 business
00:12:40.060 expenses
00:12:40.620 from being
00:12:42.160 boycotted
00:12:42.720 or whatever
00:12:43.140 happened to
00:12:43.660 the Trump
00:12:44.360 business
00:12:44.980 itself.
00:12:46.800 Because let's
00:12:47.560 say he got
00:12:48.440 $30 million
00:12:49.580 he won
00:12:51.600 from NBC
00:12:52.740 for fake
00:12:53.640 news about
00:12:54.220 him.
00:12:55.240 Or no,
00:12:55.800 just,
00:12:55.940 I think
00:12:57.540 it was just
00:12:57.820 fake news.
00:12:58.600 Somebody else
00:12:59.060 got $30
00:12:59.520 million.
00:13:00.440 And then
00:13:01.280 he's suing
00:13:02.760 CBS,
00:13:03.880 and that
00:13:04.140 might be a
00:13:04.600 multi-million
00:13:05.160 dollar
00:13:05.440 settlement.
00:13:07.440 It seems
00:13:08.200 to me that
00:13:08.620 the only
00:13:08.920 thing you'd
00:13:09.320 have to
00:13:09.620 demonstrate
00:13:10.280 is that
00:13:11.400 the fake
00:13:11.820 news knew
00:13:12.440 it was
00:13:12.740 fake,
00:13:13.500 at least
00:13:13.880 whatever
00:13:14.460 story they're
00:13:15.120 talking about,
00:13:16.000 that they
00:13:16.380 knew it
00:13:16.880 and that
00:13:18.540 they did
00:13:18.860 it anyway.
00:13:20.700 Which I'll
00:13:21.380 bet is an
00:13:21.960 easy standard
00:13:22.740 to achieve.
00:13:24.800 Because if
00:13:25.560 you sue
00:13:26.280 somebody,
00:13:26.780 you get
00:13:26.920 access to
00:13:27.460 their
00:13:27.620 emails,
00:13:28.420 right?
00:13:29.340 You probably
00:13:30.300 will always
00:13:31.080 find some
00:13:32.080 evidence in
00:13:32.720 the emails
00:13:33.220 that they
00:13:33.980 knew exactly
00:13:34.600 what they
00:13:34.980 were doing.
00:13:37.020 So maybe
00:13:38.020 there's more
00:13:38.420 lawsuits coming.
00:13:39.940 Meanwhile,
00:13:40.500 Hezbollah held
00:13:41.400 a funeral for
00:13:42.300 its late
00:13:43.040 leader that
00:13:43.760 Israel took
00:13:44.660 out some
00:13:45.640 months ago.
00:13:47.140 And it
00:13:47.880 was an
00:13:48.500 annoyingly and
00:13:50.100 startlingly large
00:13:51.240 gathering of
00:13:52.460 Hezbollah
00:13:52.860 supporters.
00:13:53.420 But Israel
00:13:55.160 apparently did
00:13:55.920 a flyover.
00:13:57.460 So all the
00:13:58.080 Hezbollah
00:13:59.220 people were
00:13:59.940 dancing around
00:14:01.180 and doing
00:14:02.700 their thing.
00:14:03.720 And Israel
00:14:04.280 just does a
00:14:04.900 flyover with
00:14:05.640 F-15s and
00:14:06.480 F-35s.
00:14:08.280 I think it
00:14:09.020 was just to
00:14:09.400 remind them,
00:14:10.480 we're not
00:14:10.980 done.
00:14:12.600 So that
00:14:13.480 happened.

00:14:31.540 Brabant News
00:14:32.560 is reporting
00:14:33.240 Francis Martell
00:14:34.280 that Doug
00:14:35.520 Burgum,
00:14:36.500 he's the
00:14:37.180 interior
00:14:38.940 secretary,
00:14:39.940 and he
00:14:42.860 says that
00:14:43.320 Trump plans
00:14:43.920 to sell
00:14:44.480 energy to
00:14:45.040 our friends
00:14:45.520 and it'll
00:14:47.600 help defund
00:14:48.220 the Russian
00:14:48.640 aggression.
00:14:49.860 So part of
00:14:50.360 what he's
00:14:50.620 saying is
00:14:51.060 that the
00:14:51.760 more energy
00:14:52.400 the U.S.
00:14:53.080 creates,
00:14:53.880 the weaker
00:14:54.460 Russia will
00:14:55.400 be, because
00:14:56.280 Russia depends
00:14:57.120 on its
00:14:57.560 energy.
00:14:58.540 So if we're
00:14:59.140 competing with
00:14:59.860 it, it should
00:15:01.120 lower their
00:15:01.780 revenues, increase
00:15:03.320 our revenues,
00:15:04.520 and make us
00:15:05.600 safer.
00:15:05.940 But here's
00:15:08.180 the question
00:15:08.840 I have.
00:15:11.200 Although Doug
00:15:12.320 Burgum might
00:15:13.020 be a solid
00:15:14.440 choice, he
00:15:16.520 doesn't strike
00:15:17.240 me as a
00:15:17.820 person who
00:15:18.240 can promote
00:15:19.060 any successes.
00:15:20.860 He's just
00:15:21.200 not a
00:15:21.920 promotional guy.
00:15:23.360 Maybe to his
00:15:24.340 credit, he
00:15:25.340 might be more
00:15:25.900 about getting
00:15:26.360 the job done.
00:15:27.540 But it
00:15:28.660 seems to me
00:15:29.200 that the
00:15:29.560 single biggest
00:15:30.500 good news
00:15:31.480 would be if
00:15:33.480 we did
00:15:33.900 something really
00:15:34.720 good in the
00:15:35.520 energy.
00:15:35.940 field.
00:15:37.420 In other
00:15:37.800 words, creating
00:15:38.420 more energy,
00:15:39.200 lowering the
00:15:39.640 cost of
00:15:40.040 energy, approving
00:15:40.980 more stuff.
00:15:42.820 And I was
00:15:44.420 unaware of
00:15:45.600 what we're
00:15:45.940 doing in
00:15:46.360 energy, but
00:15:46.880 I looked at
00:15:47.540 Daniel Baldwin
00:15:50.640 had a list
00:15:53.160 of things that
00:15:54.100 the administration
00:15:55.220 has already
00:15:55.720 done, Trump
00:15:56.460 administration,
00:15:57.560 that would
00:15:57.880 make a
00:15:58.220 difference.
00:15:59.100 But I don't
00:15:59.660 know how
00:16:00.000 real these
00:16:00.540 are.
00:16:01.540 So one
00:16:02.760 is finish
00:16:04.640 the
00:16:05.040 constitution
00:16:05.860 pipeline to
00:16:07.060 bring natural
00:16:07.700 gas to the
00:16:08.400 northeast.
00:16:09.480 I don't
00:16:10.160 think that
00:16:10.520 happened.
00:16:11.960 I think that
00:16:12.760 Trump announced
00:16:13.580 he wants to
00:16:14.460 get that
00:16:16.040 pipeline going
00:16:17.020 because it
00:16:17.700 would lower
00:16:18.100 costs in the
00:16:18.920 northeast, at
00:16:19.980 least for
00:16:20.240 natural gas.
00:16:21.440 But I don't
00:16:21.960 think it's
00:16:22.540 going.
00:16:23.640 So I don't
00:16:24.340 know if there's
00:16:24.820 anything there
00:16:25.340 yet.
00:16:25.820 Could be in
00:16:26.720 the future,
00:16:27.200 but at the
00:16:27.520 moment, no.
00:16:27.940 also listed
00:16:30.500 by Daniel
00:16:32.660 Baldwin is
00:16:33.960 a joint
00:16:35.180 venture
00:16:35.680 for LNG
00:16:38.120 project with
00:16:38.980 Japan.
00:16:40.440 Now, does
00:16:41.060 that lower
00:16:41.680 costs of
00:16:43.760 energy in the
00:16:44.320 United States
00:16:45.060 if we're
00:16:45.700 doing an
00:16:46.120 LNG
00:16:46.560 project with
00:16:48.040 Japan?
00:16:48.760 Or does
00:16:49.600 it just
00:16:50.200 open up a
00:16:50.780 market?
00:16:52.440 I don't
00:16:52.940 know.
00:16:53.160 apparently
00:16:55.120 India agreed
00:16:56.420 to make
00:16:56.780 U.S.
00:16:57.120 its leading
00:16:57.600 supplier of
00:16:58.320 crude oil
00:16:58.780 and petroleum,
00:17:00.460 but isn't
00:17:03.280 that just
00:17:03.720 increasing demand
00:17:05.080 on our
00:17:05.880 energy?
00:17:07.700 So here
00:17:08.900 are the two
00:17:09.360 examples of
00:17:10.120 increased
00:17:10.560 demand.
00:17:12.040 Increased
00:17:12.500 demand doesn't
00:17:13.240 lower your
00:17:13.660 costs.
00:17:14.760 I mean, if
00:17:15.540 you increase
00:17:16.280 production to
00:17:17.120 meet the
00:17:17.440 demand, it's
00:17:17.940 still not
00:17:18.280 doing anything.
00:17:20.820 Trump is
00:17:21.620 reopening 625
00:17:23.000 miles of
00:17:23.760 ocean that
00:17:24.860 Biden had
00:17:25.540 banned from
00:17:26.180 drilling, but
00:17:28.080 is anybody
00:17:28.600 drilling?
00:17:29.900 Is there
00:17:30.260 anybody who
00:17:30.740 was like,
00:17:31.100 yeah, we're
00:17:31.560 going to get
00:17:31.940 going in that
00:17:32.700 place we
00:17:33.760 wanted to, but
00:17:34.600 weren't?
00:17:35.840 So wouldn't
00:17:36.660 you like to
00:17:37.080 know about
00:17:37.420 that?
00:17:39.160 But I also
00:17:39.680 saw that
00:17:40.340 making peace
00:17:42.740 with Russia
00:17:43.400 should have
00:17:44.960 some impact
00:17:45.600 on energy
00:17:46.380 prices,
00:17:47.540 because that
00:17:49.740 would allow
00:17:50.300 what?
00:17:50.860 Russia to
00:17:52.400 produce more
00:17:53.780 energy?
00:17:54.760 I don't
00:17:55.360 know.
00:17:55.640 I think
00:17:55.880 they're
00:17:56.060 producing all
00:17:56.680 they want.
00:17:57.540 So I don't
00:17:57.840 see how that's
00:17:58.460 going to
00:17:58.660 lower our
00:17:59.040 prices.
00:18:01.180 And then
00:18:01.860 Trump did
00:18:02.280 call on
00:18:02.860 OPEC to
00:18:03.700 increase
00:18:04.140 production,
00:18:05.400 which if
00:18:06.200 they did
00:18:06.580 that would
00:18:07.740 lower energy
00:18:08.380 prices.
00:18:09.400 But are
00:18:10.500 they doing
00:18:10.940 it?
00:18:12.140 So you
00:18:12.980 see the
00:18:13.320 problem,
00:18:13.800 right?
00:18:15.660 Trump made
00:18:16.420 a big deal
00:18:16.940 about betting
00:18:17.480 on energy,
00:18:18.920 American energy.
00:18:19.720 So if we
00:18:20.540 increase our
00:18:21.680 energy production,
00:18:23.020 we could not
00:18:23.960 only make more
00:18:24.600 money by
00:18:25.020 selling it,
00:18:25.940 yay, but
00:18:27.280 we could
00:18:27.700 lower our
00:18:28.220 own costs
00:18:28.920 by having
00:18:30.340 more supply
00:18:31.400 than there
00:18:31.800 is demand,
00:18:32.600 at least
00:18:32.940 changing the
00:18:33.640 balance.
00:18:34.700 But is
00:18:35.400 any of that
00:18:35.800 happening?
00:18:36.900 So here's
00:18:37.780 what I would
00:18:38.220 suggest for
00:18:39.760 the administration.
00:18:41.260 I feel like
00:18:42.320 Doug Burgum
00:18:43.180 needs some
00:18:43.600 help.
00:18:45.100 And like I
00:18:46.120 said, he's
00:18:46.460 probably a
00:18:46.880 solid interior
00:18:49.200 minister, but
00:18:50.320 sometimes
00:18:50.780 promotion is
00:18:51.800 a whole
00:18:52.040 different field
00:18:52.940 and he
00:18:54.020 doesn't seem
00:18:54.440 like the
00:18:54.780 promotion guy.
00:18:56.040 Now, I
00:18:56.220 don't want to
00:18:56.560 see a bunch
00:18:56.940 of BS, but
00:18:58.820 don't you
00:18:59.240 think that
00:18:59.680 real things
00:19:01.020 are brewing
00:19:01.560 that could
00:19:02.580 actually lower
00:19:03.880 energy costs?
00:19:05.940 And if there
00:19:06.380 aren't, well,
00:19:08.040 I'd like to
00:19:08.460 know that
00:19:08.980 because pretty
00:19:10.760 much our
00:19:11.260 entire future
00:19:12.080 depends on
00:19:12.840 energy booming
00:19:14.640 and lowering
00:19:15.440 our energy
00:19:16.080 prices because
00:19:16.780 nothing else is
00:19:17.500 going to take
00:19:17.880 the price of
00:19:18.380 eggs down.
00:19:20.360 Now, I do
00:19:21.140 love the
00:19:21.540 things that
00:19:21.980 Trump is
00:19:22.360 doing with
00:19:23.140 lowering, you
00:19:24.580 know, with
00:19:25.040 Doge, etc.
00:19:26.520 So as long
00:19:27.720 as we can get
00:19:28.300 Congress to
00:19:28.940 not spend all
00:19:29.840 those savings,
00:19:30.700 which I think
00:19:31.440 they want to
00:19:31.900 do, then maybe
00:19:34.380 in the long
00:19:34.920 term, you
00:19:35.980 know, prices
00:19:36.760 and inflation
00:19:37.720 will be
00:19:38.180 controlled and
00:19:38.880 that helps on
00:19:39.440 prices.
00:19:40.360 But I'm not
00:19:41.540 seeing the
00:19:42.160 Trump administration
00:19:43.100 draw a straight
00:19:43.920 line between
00:19:45.340 what they're
00:19:45.880 doing and the
00:19:46.580 price of eggs.
00:19:47.880 or even the
00:19:48.880 price of
00:19:49.440 energy.
00:19:51.860 So we
00:19:52.640 kind of need
00:19:53.040 that, don't
00:19:53.420 we?
00:19:54.480 It's
00:19:54.920 conspicuously
00:19:55.680 missing, given
00:19:57.360 that the Trump
00:19:58.240 administration is
00:19:59.020 so good at
00:19:59.640 promotion, and
00:20:01.360 energy has got
00:20:02.060 to be right at
00:20:02.740 the top of the
00:20:03.840 things that you
00:20:04.360 would want to
00:20:04.780 promote if
00:20:05.520 there's something
00:20:06.020 happening.
00:20:07.360 But I guess I'm
00:20:08.040 going to say I'm
00:20:08.680 not aware of
00:20:09.180 anything that
00:20:10.740 would make a
00:20:11.200 difference.
00:20:12.520 So that's a
00:20:14.400 little disturbing.
00:20:18.060 There's a new
00:20:18.880 study on
00:20:20.360 studies.
00:20:21.600 I like
00:20:21.980 studies about
00:20:22.700 studies.
00:20:24.680 This is a
00:20:25.620 study that
00:20:27.320 shows that
00:20:30.120 research papers,
00:20:32.140 they looked at
00:20:32.920 82 climate
00:20:33.820 studies.
00:20:35.560 What do you
00:20:35.940 think they
00:20:36.240 found?
00:20:37.460 Don't get
00:20:38.160 ahead of me.
00:20:38.540 It said that
00:20:40.820 not a single
00:20:42.220 paper of
00:20:43.520 those 82
00:20:44.200 disclosed a
00:20:46.020 conflict of
00:20:46.680 interest in
00:20:47.520 over 29
00:20:48.260 years.
00:20:49.740 So over a
00:20:50.340 29-year
00:20:51.060 period, nobody
00:20:52.820 who did these
00:20:53.700 studies ever
00:20:54.940 disclosed if
00:20:56.040 they had a
00:20:56.440 conflict of
00:20:57.060 interest.
00:20:58.020 Do you
00:20:58.300 think they
00:20:58.620 have any?
00:20:59.640 Well, here's
00:21:00.880 what they
00:21:01.160 found out.
00:21:03.720 So 68% of
00:21:05.680 NGO-funded
00:21:06.740 studies claimed
00:21:08.200 that climate
00:21:08.680 change drastically
00:21:09.840 increased hurricane
00:21:11.000 activity.
00:21:12.640 So more than
00:21:13.340 two-thirds of
00:21:16.280 all NGO-funded
00:21:17.620 climate studies
00:21:18.960 say, oh, this
00:21:19.860 is making the
00:21:20.380 hurricanes much
00:21:21.340 worse.
00:21:22.700 What do you
00:21:23.160 think would be
00:21:23.680 the answer of
00:21:24.280 people who
00:21:24.660 were not
00:21:25.120 funded by an
00:21:25.940 NGO?
00:21:27.400 Now, an NGO
00:21:28.120 would be
00:21:28.640 something like,
00:21:29.960 you know, I'll
00:21:30.800 just make this
00:21:31.400 up, but it'd be
00:21:31.940 like the Green
00:21:33.400 Climate Initiative
00:21:34.480 NGO.
00:21:35.760 So it's
00:21:36.160 basically people
00:21:36.960 who want the
00:21:37.800 study.
00:21:38.200 to say that
00:21:39.540 climate change
00:21:40.300 is real, and
00:21:41.440 they want the
00:21:42.100 study that
00:21:42.580 they're funding
00:21:43.080 to say that
00:21:45.140 it's dire.
00:21:46.640 And 68% of
00:21:48.140 the people who
00:21:48.680 took money from
00:21:50.100 the people who
00:21:50.760 want to show
00:21:51.360 how dire it
00:21:52.100 is, showed
00:21:53.360 how dire it
00:21:54.020 was.
00:21:54.840 Two-thirds of
00:21:55.460 them.
00:21:56.520 But of the
00:21:57.020 people who did
00:21:57.640 not take money
00:21:58.460 from NGOs,
00:22:00.160 they had a
00:22:00.540 very clear,
00:22:01.300 you know,
00:22:02.340 incentive
00:22:02.780 structure.
00:22:03.340 only 22% of
00:22:05.980 them said
00:22:07.780 that the
00:22:09.160 hurricanes were
00:22:09.740 getting worse
00:22:10.140 because of
00:22:10.460 climate change.
00:22:11.880 22% versus
00:22:14.080 68.
00:22:16.720 And so the
00:22:17.700 22% were
00:22:18.840 people who just
00:22:19.380 got government
00:22:20.160 or academic
00:22:20.940 research that
00:22:22.460 was maybe a
00:22:23.620 little more
00:22:23.960 neutral.
00:22:24.700 It's like,
00:22:25.220 here's your
00:22:25.500 money, come
00:22:26.660 tell us what
00:22:27.160 happened.
00:22:27.460 Whereas the
00:22:28.500 NGOs are,
00:22:30.140 you know,
00:22:30.920 really directly
00:22:31.820 political, I
00:22:32.880 think, in most
00:22:33.360 cases.
00:22:34.500 So there you
00:22:35.480 go.
00:22:36.440 Your studies
00:22:37.500 match the
00:22:39.580 desires of the
00:22:40.440 people who
00:22:40.800 funded them.
00:22:41.700 And they
00:22:43.080 didn't disclose
00:22:43.760 that they had
00:22:44.380 that conflict.
00:22:45.340 So that would
00:22:45.880 be a conflict
00:22:46.500 if your funding
00:22:47.300 came from an
00:22:48.040 NGO and the
00:22:49.360 NGO definitely
00:22:50.240 wanted a certain
00:22:51.020 answer.
00:22:51.740 Because you know
00:22:52.180 they did.
00:22:53.340 You know they
00:22:53.840 did.
00:22:55.580 And apparently
00:22:56.200 the NGO
00:22:56.920 grants,
00:22:57.460 were far
00:22:59.460 more, four
00:23:00.080 times as
00:23:00.620 large as
00:23:01.460 the normal
00:23:02.540 academic
00:23:03.080 study.
00:23:04.420 Now even
00:23:05.180 in the
00:23:05.600 academic
00:23:05.980 world, people
00:23:07.400 are going to
00:23:07.700 be pressed to
00:23:08.420 say climate
00:23:09.000 change is
00:23:09.500 real.
00:23:10.100 And even if
00:23:10.700 you're funded
00:23:11.080 just by the
00:23:11.760 government, not
00:23:12.680 through an
00:23:13.060 NGO, you're
00:23:14.480 still going to
00:23:14.940 feel like you
00:23:15.900 need to come
00:23:16.440 up with
00:23:16.840 something that
00:23:17.680 agrees with the
00:23:18.280 government.
00:23:20.040 So climate
00:23:20.960 science, not
00:23:22.080 really science.
00:23:24.400 Remember they
00:23:25.080 say trust the
00:23:25.740 science?
00:23:26.140 science, if
00:23:27.660 you knew that
00:23:28.860 the source of
00:23:29.460 the funding
00:23:29.900 completely changed
00:23:31.360 the outcomes,
00:23:32.800 the source of
00:23:33.480 the funding,
00:23:34.320 not the
00:23:34.720 science, the
00:23:36.260 source of the
00:23:36.920 funding.
00:23:38.140 If you know
00:23:39.040 that, and
00:23:40.820 there's such a
00:23:41.320 big difference,
00:23:42.180 say 22%
00:23:43.380 compared to
00:23:44.060 68, that's
00:23:46.880 not really
00:23:47.220 science, is
00:23:47.860 it?
00:23:48.020 all right.
00:23:54.880 Here's what I
00:23:55.480 like to say
00:23:55.940 about climate
00:23:57.360 change.
00:23:58.900 Wait till you
00:23:59.540 find out about
00:24:00.180 the climate
00:24:00.680 models.
00:24:02.560 Now some of
00:24:03.040 you who follow
00:24:03.540 me already
00:24:03.980 know what I
00:24:04.460 mean about
00:24:05.160 that.
00:24:05.740 But I'm
00:24:06.160 fascinated by
00:24:06.920 the category
00:24:07.660 of communication,
00:24:09.400 which is
00:24:09.980 something that
00:24:10.720 can't be
00:24:11.220 communicated.
00:24:12.540 For example,
00:24:13.340 you know the
00:24:13.820 story about the
00:24:14.400 little boy who
00:24:14.980 cried wolf?
00:24:15.940 he warned
00:24:17.600 that a wolf
00:24:18.080 was coming
00:24:18.640 when there
00:24:20.060 wasn't.
00:24:20.880 So many times
00:24:21.880 that when a
00:24:22.320 real wolf was
00:24:22.960 coming, and
00:24:24.000 he said,
00:24:24.380 there's a wolf
00:24:24.820 coming,
00:24:25.800 everybody said,
00:24:27.100 ah, that's
00:24:27.660 that little kid
00:24:28.260 who cries wolf
00:24:29.020 all the time,
00:24:29.620 so they ignored
00:24:30.140 him.
00:24:30.780 So that was
00:24:31.340 a case where
00:24:32.040 the boy who
00:24:33.200 cried wolf
00:24:34.300 could not
00:24:35.900 communicate a
00:24:36.960 real thing,
00:24:37.860 because people
00:24:38.960 weren't ready
00:24:39.400 for it.
00:24:40.020 Now that's
00:24:40.380 also true if
00:24:41.260 you know,
00:24:42.320 if you get
00:24:42.780 your information
00:24:43.380 from your
00:24:43.860 enemy, you
00:24:44.400 don't believe
00:24:44.940 it.
00:24:45.240 There's a whole
00:24:45.860 bunch of
00:24:46.200 categories of
00:24:47.820 things that
00:24:48.200 can't be
00:24:48.540 communicated.
00:24:49.280 Here's another
00:24:49.720 one.

00:25:16.560 Conditions
00:25:16.940 apply.
00:25:18.140 If physics
00:25:19.840 came up with
00:25:20.600 some great
00:25:21.220 new thing,
00:25:22.320 but the
00:25:22.700 physicist wanted
00:25:23.540 to explain
00:25:24.340 it to me,
00:25:25.400 do you think
00:25:25.820 they could do
00:25:26.320 it?
00:25:27.180 Not really.
00:25:28.780 It'd be stuff
00:25:29.500 like, well,
00:25:30.560 then the
00:25:31.000 muon went
00:25:32.000 to the
00:25:32.700 quantum phase
00:25:34.880 into the
00:25:35.600 multi-dimensions
00:25:36.660 and I'd be,
00:25:38.480 I don't know
00:25:39.100 what any of
00:25:39.460 those mean.
00:25:39.880 I don't
00:25:41.040 know what
00:25:41.320 you're saying.
00:25:42.360 Well, but
00:25:42.840 then the
00:25:43.380 fluctuation of
00:25:44.860 the
00:25:45.260 Schrodinger's
00:25:46.700 cat,
00:25:47.460 blah, blah,
00:25:48.160 I'd say,
00:25:49.660 nope, still
00:25:50.200 nothing.
00:25:51.320 I have no
00:25:52.160 idea what
00:25:52.600 you're talking
00:25:52.960 about.
00:25:53.600 So that'd be
00:25:54.060 something you
00:25:54.500 can't communicate
00:25:55.100 to.
00:25:55.960 But what I
00:25:57.000 know about
00:25:57.480 climate models
00:25:58.540 is in that
00:26:00.240 category.
00:26:01.580 So I used
00:26:02.540 to say,
00:26:03.060 let me give
00:26:03.560 you all my
00:26:04.200 detailed
00:26:04.700 explanation
00:26:05.420 about why
00:26:06.060 the climate
00:26:06.480 models couldn't
00:26:07.820 possibly be
00:26:08.560 real.
00:26:10.060 And unless
00:26:10.800 you have an
00:26:11.240 hour to
00:26:11.720 sit there
00:26:12.140 and you
00:26:12.640 can watch
00:26:13.620 me do it
00:26:14.040 on a
00:26:14.280 whiteboard,
00:26:15.220 I can't
00:26:15.640 communicate it.
00:26:16.920 So it's
00:26:17.540 just funnier
00:26:18.160 for me to
00:26:18.680 say,
00:26:19.480 when do you
00:26:19.960 find out?
00:26:21.560 Because you
00:26:22.160 will find
00:26:22.660 out.
00:26:23.540 I'm
00:26:24.020 completely
00:26:24.640 certain that
00:26:26.200 the climate
00:26:27.380 models are
00:26:28.020 going to have
00:26:28.340 their day of
00:26:28.920 judgment,
00:26:29.720 where even
00:26:30.620 the smart
00:26:31.060 people say,
00:26:31.880 I didn't
00:26:32.960 know this
00:26:33.480 about the
00:26:33.920 climate models,
00:26:34.860 but now that
00:26:35.420 I know it,
00:26:36.820 that changes
00:26:37.800 everything.
00:26:38.740 It's
00:26:39.000 coming.
00:26:40.400 I guarantee
00:26:41.160 it.
00:26:42.660 Anyway,
00:26:43.120 the National
00:26:43.640 Institute of
00:26:44.340 Health stopped
00:26:45.160 considering new
00:26:46.120 grants because
00:26:46.980 of the
00:26:47.460 Doge,
00:26:49.140 either the
00:26:49.900 Doge
00:26:50.220 cross-cutting
00:26:50.900 or some
00:26:51.580 other effect
00:26:52.100 from Doge.
00:26:53.460 And the
00:26:54.020 idea here is
00:26:54.780 that the
00:26:55.240 scientists are
00:26:56.760 feeling like,
00:26:57.460 oh no,
00:26:58.300 it's the end
00:26:59.100 of the world
00:26:59.740 because we
00:27:00.600 have all
00:27:01.000 these things
00:27:01.640 we want to
00:27:02.260 get funding
00:27:02.840 for and
00:27:03.860 grants,
00:27:04.980 but the
00:27:05.560 National
00:27:05.860 Institute of
00:27:06.540 Health is
00:27:07.780 now kind
00:27:08.720 of constipated
00:27:09.760 and they
00:27:10.020 can't make
00:27:10.360 it happen.
00:27:11.620 Well,
00:27:11.860 I saw a
00:27:12.380 mocking post
00:27:13.840 by Vinay
00:27:15.020 Prasad,
00:27:15.800 doctor.
00:27:17.380 Now,
00:27:17.760 Vinay is
00:27:20.220 well-known,
00:27:21.000 at least on
00:27:21.360 the internet,
00:27:22.380 for debunking
00:27:23.640 research studies
00:27:24.820 and teaching
00:27:26.060 us how
00:27:27.720 unreliable
00:27:28.500 the scientific
00:27:29.880 literature is,
00:27:31.300 meaning the
00:27:31.780 studies.
00:27:32.140 so here's
00:27:34.080 what he says
00:27:34.600 about the
00:27:35.200 NIH pausing
00:27:37.480 their funding
00:27:38.220 of new
00:27:39.000 grants.
00:27:40.060 He goes,
00:27:40.600 oh no,
00:27:41.960 there are
00:27:42.700 delays in a
00:27:43.500 broken,
00:27:44.100 inadequate,
00:27:44.700 and corrupt
00:27:45.020 system that
00:27:45.700 produces
00:27:46.120 fraudulent
00:27:46.800 and irreproducible
00:27:48.920 research and has
00:27:50.580 never subjected
00:27:51.380 itself to
00:27:51.980 empirical testing.
00:27:53.380 If this
00:27:53.900 keeps up,
00:27:54.800 we might
00:27:55.220 break a
00:27:55.720 system where
00:27:56.260 scientists spend
00:27:57.040 60 hours a
00:27:57.900 week writing
00:27:58.360 grants.
00:27:58.920 That's
00:28:02.480 pretty brutal.
00:28:03.840 But,
00:28:04.600 here's what I
00:28:05.500 would say.
00:28:06.120 It reminded
00:28:06.560 me of Elon
00:28:07.560 Musk's
00:28:08.320 engineering
00:28:08.820 rule.
00:28:11.160 He said
00:28:11.720 this a
00:28:12.020 number of
00:28:12.280 times.
00:28:12.920 One of the
00:28:13.280 biggest mistakes
00:28:13.900 you can make
00:28:14.400 in engineering
00:28:15.000 is to try to
00:28:16.340 optimize something
00:28:17.420 that shouldn't
00:28:18.680 exist.
00:28:20.140 Like,
00:28:20.500 if you have a
00:28:20.980 feature that
00:28:21.540 nobody uses,
00:28:22.440 if you're
00:28:22.760 spending time
00:28:23.300 making it
00:28:23.740 better,
00:28:24.700 maybe you
00:28:25.240 should just
00:28:25.780 get rid of
00:28:26.240 it.
00:28:27.240 So,
00:28:27.760 this is one
00:28:28.260 of those
00:28:28.520 things where
00:28:28.900 the National
00:28:29.400 Institute of
00:28:30.200 Health,
00:28:31.320 yeah,
00:28:31.920 I guess
00:28:32.300 they'd like
00:28:32.640 to optimize
00:28:33.200 it.
00:28:34.820 But,
00:28:35.280 at least the
00:28:35.780 way it has
00:28:36.480 been running
00:28:36.900 up to now,
00:28:37.620 it doesn't
00:28:37.920 have any
00:28:38.240 credibility,
00:28:38.980 so maybe
00:28:40.080 we just
00:28:40.480 don't need
00:28:40.900 it.
00:28:41.720 Maybe we
00:28:42.300 shouldn't
00:28:42.560 fix it.
00:28:44.520 Meanwhile,
00:28:45.040 over in
00:28:45.420 Hungary,
00:28:46.380 Prime Minister
00:28:46.900 Viktor Orban,
00:28:48.680 he's got
00:28:49.740 this idea
00:28:50.340 that mothers
00:28:52.840 would be
00:28:54.100 exempt from
00:28:54.720 income tax
00:28:55.480 forever.
00:28:57.360 But,
00:28:57.700 you'd have
00:28:58.000 to be a
00:28:58.420 mother of
00:28:59.020 two or
00:28:59.460 more.
00:29:00.620 So,
00:29:00.900 if you
00:29:01.000 had two
00:29:01.280 or more
00:29:01.560 kids,
00:29:01.980 you could
00:29:02.280 be
00:29:02.460 exempt
00:29:02.820 from
00:29:03.100 income
00:29:03.440 taxes
00:29:03.960 in his
00:29:05.040 country
00:29:05.420 forever.
00:29:07.040 Does that
00:29:07.580 sound like
00:29:08.560 it could
00:29:08.840 work?
00:29:10.620 I'd love
00:29:11.180 to think
00:29:11.500 that it
00:29:11.800 would,
00:29:12.580 because,
00:29:12.960 you know,
00:29:13.380 wouldn't it
00:29:13.840 be great
00:29:14.280 if there
00:29:14.560 were some
00:29:14.940 simple
00:29:15.720 formula for
00:29:16.560 increasing
00:29:17.000 your local
00:29:17.640 population,
00:29:18.520 because a lot
00:29:18.960 of countries
00:29:19.380 would need
00:29:19.760 that?
00:29:20.800 But,
00:29:21.380 doesn't that
00:29:22.060 seem kind
00:29:22.480 of easy to
00:29:23.120 game in that
00:29:23.600 system?
00:29:25.440 So,
00:29:26.740 for example,
00:29:28.100 if the
00:29:28.880 wife's income
00:29:30.020 is not
00:29:30.780 taxed,
00:29:31.800 ever,
00:29:33.120 but the
00:29:33.540 husband's
00:29:34.160 income is
00:29:34.740 taxed,
00:29:35.960 what do you
00:29:36.320 think the
00:29:36.720 family's going
00:29:37.360 to do?
00:29:38.860 Well,
00:29:39.380 one thing
00:29:39.760 they might
00:29:40.060 do if it's
00:29:40.680 a small
00:29:41.020 business,
00:29:42.200 they would
00:29:42.520 just put
00:29:42.900 all the
00:29:43.200 income in
00:29:43.700 the wife's
00:29:44.080 name.
00:29:45.860 The other
00:29:46.540 thing is,
00:29:47.400 if both the
00:29:48.420 man and
00:29:48.880 the woman
00:29:49.440 are capable
00:29:50.780 of getting
00:29:51.340 jobs that
00:29:51.960 are similar,
00:29:52.480 they might
00:29:53.940 say,
00:29:54.640 hey,
00:29:55.120 how about
00:29:55.400 the husband
00:29:55.820 stays home,
00:29:56.940 because he
00:29:57.300 gets taxed
00:29:58.080 if he
00:29:58.320 works,
00:29:59.060 and the
00:29:59.540 wife will
00:29:59.880 go to
00:30:00.120 work,
00:30:00.820 and the
00:30:01.240 husband will
00:30:01.600 take care
00:30:01.940 of the
00:30:02.120 kids,
00:30:02.940 because the
00:30:03.340 wife goes
00:30:04.480 to work
00:30:04.820 and doesn't
00:30:05.180 get taxed.
00:30:06.340 Well,
00:30:06.560 that's not
00:30:07.020 exactly what
00:30:07.980 Hungary is
00:30:09.160 trying to
00:30:09.560 accomplish.
00:30:10.300 They're not
00:30:10.660 trying to
00:30:11.080 accomplish
00:30:11.500 stay-at-home
00:30:12.200 husbands and
00:30:13.600 new mothers
00:30:14.320 who are
00:30:15.060 going to
00:30:15.480 work and
00:30:15.840 leaving their
00:30:16.240 kids at
00:30:16.600 home,
00:30:17.560 but wouldn't
00:30:18.600 that happen?
00:30:21.300 And how do you
00:30:22.080 promise that
00:30:22.780 any tax
00:30:23.580 exemption will
00:30:24.300 be lifelong?
00:30:26.120 Lifelong?
00:30:27.380 What happens
00:30:27.940 if the
00:30:28.240 government
00:30:28.540 changes tomorrow?
00:30:30.500 You can't
00:30:31.140 guarantee
00:30:31.480 anything
00:30:31.940 lifelong.
00:30:33.080 That's not
00:30:33.500 a thing.
00:30:34.800 So I guess
00:30:35.520 I just
00:30:35.840 wonder if
00:30:36.320 they have
00:30:36.640 enough
00:30:36.840 controls on
00:30:37.620 that.
00:30:38.240 I mean,
00:30:38.520 obviously,
00:30:39.100 they had to
00:30:39.920 think about
00:30:40.400 all those
00:30:40.860 same things
00:30:41.580 I'm
00:30:41.780 mentioning,
00:30:42.660 but it
00:30:42.980 makes me
00:30:43.300 wonder if
00:30:43.720 it's
00:30:43.900 practical.
00:30:44.860 We'll
00:30:45.000 keep an
00:30:45.320 eye on
00:30:45.600 this one.
00:30:47.220 According
00:30:47.740 to Just
00:30:48.420 the News,
00:30:49.500 the Trump
00:30:49.860 administration is
00:30:50.800 making it a
00:30:51.240 little easier
00:30:51.780 to get
00:30:53.620 some
00:30:54.120 homeschooling
00:30:54.860 started.
00:30:55.500 I guess
00:30:55.840 the Biden
00:30:56.220 administration
00:30:56.860 required a
00:30:58.200 federal review
00:30:59.140 of, quote,
00:31:00.420 how states
00:31:01.060 approve and
00:31:01.760 select private
00:31:03.860 entities for
00:31:04.760 homeschooling.
00:31:06.760 And I think
00:31:07.640 the Trump
00:31:08.120 administration
00:31:08.520 said, nah,
00:31:09.760 get rid of
00:31:10.240 that.
00:31:11.760 You states
00:31:12.380 just do what
00:31:12.960 you need to
00:31:13.340 do and give
00:31:14.340 us more
00:31:14.660 homeschooling.
00:31:16.100 And that
00:31:16.980 seems like
00:31:17.380 the right
00:31:17.660 decision.
00:31:19.300 I like
00:31:19.700 that.
00:31:20.800 All right.
00:31:22.900 Here's
00:31:23.380 something I
00:31:23.780 noticed that
00:31:26.100 I thought I
00:31:26.600 noticed, a
00:31:27.060 pattern.
00:31:27.880 And so I
00:31:28.200 asked Grok
00:31:28.940 if this
00:31:29.740 pattern is
00:31:30.280 real or
00:31:30.860 I'm just
00:31:31.160 imagining
00:31:31.560 it.
00:31:32.160 And the
00:31:32.440 pattern is
00:31:33.080 that the
00:31:33.420 people who
00:31:33.840 know the
00:31:34.260 most about
00:31:34.860 the
00:31:35.060 government,
00:31:36.000 I'm
00:31:36.200 sorry,
00:31:36.760 the people
00:31:37.160 who know
00:31:37.440 the most
00:31:37.940 about
00:31:38.240 business,
00:31:39.440 the most
00:31:39.780 experienced
00:31:40.380 people,
00:31:41.420 are kind
00:31:42.120 of on the
00:31:42.500 same side
00:31:43.080 about
00:31:43.380 Doge.
00:31:44.820 That it's
00:31:45.740 a good
00:31:47.500 system and
00:31:48.300 it's probably
00:31:48.920 going to
00:31:49.500 work.
00:31:50.800 And the
00:31:51.880 people who
00:31:52.300 know the
00:31:52.620 least are
00:31:54.320 the ones
00:31:54.780 who have
00:31:55.300 the criticisms
00:31:56.120 because they
00:31:57.100 don't know how
00:31:57.640 things work in
00:31:58.380 the real world.
00:31:59.660 But I made a
00:32:00.420 list of the
00:32:01.280 dumbest takes
00:32:02.380 on Doge.
00:32:04.420 If you have
00:32:05.340 ever said any
00:32:06.220 one of these
00:32:06.780 things, you're
00:32:08.180 probably not
00:32:08.800 very experienced.
00:32:10.640 You might have
00:32:11.200 a high IQ.
00:32:12.420 I see a lot of
00:32:13.420 like PhDs and
00:32:14.420 stuff weighing in
00:32:15.140 on social media,
00:32:15.900 but they
00:32:16.920 clearly don't
00:32:17.880 have job
00:32:18.380 experience of
00:32:19.560 being a
00:32:19.860 leader and
00:32:20.560 having to
00:32:20.980 manage big
00:32:21.560 groups and
00:32:22.060 stuff like
00:32:22.420 that.
00:32:23.160 So here are
00:32:23.600 the worst
00:32:24.120 takes.
00:32:24.980 I pinned
00:32:25.540 this to my
00:32:26.280 X account if
00:32:27.500 you want to
00:32:27.740 see it.
00:32:28.500 The worst
00:32:29.100 takes on
00:32:29.780 Doge.
00:32:30.760 Now these
00:32:31.180 all come from
00:32:31.980 the most
00:32:32.400 inexperienced
00:32:33.560 people.
00:32:34.840 People with
00:32:35.480 experience,
00:32:36.660 you know,
00:32:36.880 who have
00:32:37.040 managed big
00:32:37.620 groups,
00:32:38.080 who have
00:32:38.300 done their
00:32:38.640 own layoffs,
00:32:39.380 who have
00:32:39.580 been through
00:32:39.940 layoffs,
00:32:41.120 they kind
00:32:41.740 of think
00:32:42.020 that Doge
00:32:42.540 is doing
00:32:42.880 the right
00:32:43.200 thing,
00:32:43.500 which is
00:32:43.860 move fast,
00:32:44.620 break things,
00:32:45.440 fix it,
00:32:46.060 keep moving.
00:32:47.880 That's the
00:32:48.440 real world.
00:32:49.200 In the real
00:32:49.660 world,
00:32:49.960 that's the
00:32:50.240 way you
00:32:50.520 do it,
00:32:50.900 exactly the
00:32:51.620 way Musk
00:32:52.460 is laying
00:32:53.200 it out.
00:32:54.280 But the
00:32:54.720 people who
00:32:55.060 don't have
00:32:55.380 that real
00:32:55.800 world
00:32:56.100 experience,
00:32:57.420 mostly the
00:32:57.940 media pundits
00:32:58.760 and the
00:32:59.580 academics and
00:33:00.400 stuff,
00:33:01.040 here's what
00:33:01.500 they say.
00:33:02.280 Now I'm
00:33:02.580 not going
00:33:02.820 to tell you
00:33:03.160 what's wrong
00:33:03.880 with each
00:33:04.720 of these
00:33:05.060 things,
00:33:06.440 because again,
00:33:07.220 if you have
00:33:08.020 experience,
00:33:08.940 you know
00:33:09.300 exactly what's
00:33:09.980 wrong with
00:33:10.320 them.
00:33:11.600 And if you
00:33:12.180 don't,
00:33:13.140 well,
00:33:14.120 again,
00:33:14.800 I can't
00:33:15.300 fix that
00:33:15.960 with a
00:33:16.300 few lines
00:33:16.880 of wisdom.
00:33:19.320 So I'll
00:33:19.620 just tell you
00:33:20.120 what the
00:33:20.400 dumb mistakes
00:33:20.960 are.
00:33:21.460 Number one,
00:33:22.580 Doge
00:33:22.860 should use
00:33:23.320 a scalpel,
00:33:24.140 not a
00:33:24.480 chainsaw.
00:33:26.000 You with
00:33:26.360 me so
00:33:26.720 far?
00:33:28.840 If you
00:33:29.500 ever said
00:33:30.160 Doge
00:33:30.580 should use
00:33:30.960 a scalpel,
00:33:31.640 not a
00:33:31.940 chainsaw,
00:33:33.320 you really
00:33:34.120 don't understand
00:33:35.020 much about
00:33:35.760 anything.
00:33:37.820 I don't
00:33:38.440 even need
00:33:38.860 to get
00:33:39.120 into it.
00:33:39.920 I mean,
00:33:40.160 I could,
00:33:41.440 but you
00:33:42.480 all see it,
00:33:43.140 right?
00:33:44.380 Maybe you
00:33:45.320 don't,
00:33:45.940 because what
00:33:47.020 I'm saying
00:33:47.380 is it's
00:33:47.760 not based
00:33:48.300 on IQ.
00:33:49.320 It's
00:33:49.800 literally
00:33:50.200 based on
00:33:50.720 experience.
00:33:51.860 If you
00:33:52.220 have
00:33:52.440 experience,
00:33:53.880 you know
00:33:54.320 that the
00:33:54.680 chainsaw is
00:33:55.380 the right
00:33:55.720 tool.
00:33:57.660 All right,
00:33:57.900 here's another
00:33:58.480 one.
00:33:59.120 The cuts
00:33:59.660 need to be
00:34:00.220 more thoughtful.
00:34:02.520 The cuts
00:34:03.320 need to be
00:34:03.880 more thoughtful.
00:34:06.800 What?
00:34:07.280 You can
00:34:09.500 say that
00:34:09.900 about
00:34:10.100 everything.
00:34:11.240 Well,
00:34:12.220 I think
00:34:12.960 Musk is
00:34:14.260 trying to
00:34:14.580 put a
00:34:15.060 rocket to
00:34:16.440 Mars,
00:34:17.100 but I
00:34:17.780 think he
00:34:18.100 should be
00:34:18.400 more thoughtful
00:34:19.060 about it.
00:34:20.540 All right.
00:34:23.880 Somebody is
00:34:24.680 doing something,
00:34:25.820 it doesn't
00:34:26.280 matter what it
00:34:26.800 is.
00:34:27.020 I think they
00:34:27.480 should be
00:34:27.820 more thoughtful
00:34:28.860 about it.
00:34:30.180 Okay.
00:34:31.120 Isn't that
00:34:31.660 kind of true
00:34:32.420 of everything
00:34:33.120 all the
00:34:33.620 time?
00:34:34.900 No.
00:34:35.460 You shouldn't
00:34:36.020 be more
00:34:36.440 thoughtful
00:34:36.900 about it.
00:34:37.740 You should
00:34:38.180 cut with
00:34:39.180 your chainsaw,
00:34:40.260 see what
00:34:40.700 gets broken,
00:34:41.680 put it back
00:34:42.180 together,
00:34:42.740 move on.
00:34:45.480 Doge is
00:34:46.180 lowering morale
00:34:46.920 among the
00:34:47.520 people who are
00:34:47.980 affected.
00:34:49.100 Yeah, of
00:34:49.440 course it's
00:34:49.900 lowering morale,
00:34:51.380 but have you
00:34:52.160 ever seen a
00:34:52.720 company where
00:34:53.300 they're doing
00:34:53.860 big layoffs
00:34:54.800 and all the
00:34:55.240 people are
00:34:55.600 like,
00:34:55.880 yeah,
00:34:56.680 I'm so happy
00:34:58.660 I work here
00:34:59.200 this week
00:34:59.760 with all the
00:35:00.520 layoffs and
00:35:01.140 stuff.
00:35:01.880 No,
00:35:02.140 you can't
00:35:02.620 do big
00:35:03.060 layoffs and
00:35:03.680 cost-cutting
00:35:04.340 and also
00:35:05.260 maintain morale
00:35:06.400 for the same
00:35:07.600 period that
00:35:08.120 you're doing
00:35:08.420 the cost-cutting.
00:35:09.280 That's not a
00:35:09.760 thing.
00:35:10.760 You don't
00:35:11.520 even bring it
00:35:12.000 up.
00:35:12.580 It's just
00:35:12.900 not a thing.
00:35:13.880 Nobody can
00:35:14.380 do it.
00:35:14.740 It's never
00:35:15.000 been done.
00:35:15.680 Nobody will
00:35:16.100 ever do it.
00:35:17.100 No,
00:35:17.520 morale goes
00:35:18.200 down when
00:35:18.720 you cut
00:35:19.060 budgets.
00:35:19.840 That's it.

00:36:22.140 How about Doge's
00:36:24.980 creating chaos?
00:36:26.880 Chaos.
00:36:28.500 Yeah, it's creating a
00:36:29.820 little chaos, but you're
00:36:32.240 going to have to take
00:36:32.700 that to the second level,
00:36:34.760 which is, and that's bad
00:36:38.320 because the chaos stole
00:36:42.920 your democracy?
00:36:44.520 The chaos slowed it down?
00:36:48.180 No, the chaos came from
00:36:50.360 going fast, so it's not
00:36:52.960 about slowing things
00:36:53.960 down.
00:36:55.660 It's just a generic
00:36:57.240 political word.
00:36:59.040 Have you noticed that no
00:37:00.560 matter what Trump does,
00:37:02.000 way before Doge, no
00:37:04.020 matter what Trump did,
00:37:07.660 let's see, what's that
00:37:08.960 say?
00:37:09.920 Somebody's trying to get
00:37:10.720 my attention on something.
00:37:11.820 I'd like to see him get
00:37:16.680 more aggressive.
00:37:18.440 Yeah, so, all right, so
00:37:19.960 Trump is saying on True
00:37:21.960 Social directly to Elon,
00:37:23.860 who responded, that he
00:37:25.440 wants to see Elon get
00:37:26.640 more aggressive, which
00:37:28.900 would be more chainsaw,
00:37:31.680 more chaos, lower
00:37:34.380 morale.
00:37:36.240 Now, is that a mistake?
00:37:38.040 No, it's not.
00:37:38.860 It's not a mistake.
00:37:39.740 It's very good that Trump
00:37:42.200 is inserting himself to
00:37:46.100 say there should be more
00:37:47.020 of it.
00:37:47.760 That's exactly the right
00:37:48.900 framing, because if you're
00:37:50.340 wondering if it's already
00:37:51.240 gone too far, it's too
00:37:52.500 fast, and it's too
00:37:53.360 chainsaw-y, and it's too
00:37:54.860 much chaos, well, there's
00:37:56.680 the president of the United
00:37:57.520 States saying, you know,
00:37:58.600 we need more of it, not
00:37:59.660 less, and all the smart
00:38:02.760 people are going to say,
00:38:04.360 yeah, yeah, more would be
00:38:06.220 better.
00:38:07.760 Here's another one that's
00:38:08.940 dumb.
00:38:10.740 Doge is how Musk will
00:38:12.080 rob the country.
00:38:14.260 All right.
00:38:16.600 Musk was not elected.
00:38:19.480 Okay.
00:38:21.540 Doge needs to be more
00:38:22.800 transparent.
00:38:24.460 Could you imagine if Doge
00:38:25.860 were more transparent?
00:38:28.040 Do you know what that
00:38:28.540 would look like?
00:38:30.500 We went into this
00:38:31.660 organization.
00:38:32.980 They have 10,000 NGOs and
00:38:35.140 400 departments.
00:38:37.480 We've decided that we'll
00:38:40.060 downsize by 8% the
00:38:42.160 Department of Energy
00:38:44.540 Democracy for America
00:38:47.820 Freedom.
00:38:48.360 and you'll be like, what
00:38:50.840 even was that?
00:38:52.600 Well, here's a long
00:38:53.720 description of what that
00:38:54.760 department did.
00:38:55.480 It was like, okay, I'm not
00:38:57.560 going to read that long
00:38:58.260 description.
00:38:59.220 And here's 7,000 more of
00:39:01.020 them we did today.
00:39:01.720 How in the world could they
00:39:05.460 possibly be more transparent in
00:39:07.580 a way that would help
00:39:08.340 anybody?
00:39:09.340 Because unless you're one of
00:39:10.640 those geniuses who's really
00:39:12.040 digging into these things, you
00:39:13.480 don't even know what the
00:39:14.300 department does.
00:39:15.660 You don't know if they need
00:39:16.740 more of it or less of it.
00:39:18.520 They could be the most
00:39:20.420 transparent project in the
00:39:22.620 world and you wouldn't know
00:39:23.900 anything.
00:39:24.880 You would just hear the names
00:39:26.040 of things and now, okay, all
00:39:28.320 right, well, that sounded
00:39:29.280 like the name of it was
00:39:30.580 good, but they're cutting it.
00:39:32.600 Why would they cut something
00:39:33.680 that has a name that sounds
00:39:34.980 good, but maybe the name
00:39:37.080 isn't, you know, very
00:39:39.140 indicative of what it is?
00:39:41.680 Anyway, if you find yourself
00:39:43.040 tempted to say any of those
00:39:44.220 things about Doge, I
00:39:45.940 recommend taking a week off
00:39:47.340 because you're not going to
00:39:48.260 look smart in public.
00:39:51.760 And then I saw on the X
00:39:53.860 that X user named Matt
00:39:55.900 Van Swal pointed out that
00:39:58.920 Jeff Bezos laid off 1,400
00:40:01.000 people from his Blue Origin
00:40:03.080 space company last week.
00:40:05.400 So he laid off 1,400
00:40:06.800 people and not a single one
00:40:09.120 of them is on 60 Minutes
00:40:10.480 Bitching.
00:40:12.240 And then Matt says, do you
00:40:14.080 get it yet?
00:40:15.660 Okay, do you get it?
00:40:17.660 Do you think that Jeff Bezos
00:40:19.900 used a scalpel?
00:40:22.320 Do you think he used a
00:40:23.180 scalpel to get rid of 1,400
00:40:24.640 people?
00:40:27.180 I think he told his
00:40:28.260 managers to do whatever
00:40:29.680 they need to do to get rid
00:40:30.860 of 1,400 people.
00:40:32.300 And then they did what
00:40:33.320 they needed to do.
00:40:34.620 I don't know how much
00:40:35.520 scalpeling there was.
00:40:37.140 And do you think he did it
00:40:38.200 without lowering morale?
00:40:40.480 Oh, I would think that the
00:40:41.740 other people were a little
00:40:42.700 bit nervous and they lost
00:40:43.860 their friends who worked
00:40:45.680 with them.
00:40:46.180 Yeah, of course it lowers
00:40:47.420 morale.
00:40:48.740 But Jeff Bezos did it
00:40:50.580 anyway because it's a smart
00:40:52.000 thing to do.
00:40:52.660 And every big company
00:40:54.600 acts the same because they
00:40:56.060 know how to do this.
00:40:59.500 Then there's the issue of
00:41:01.020 Doge and Musk have
00:41:03.760 demanded or asked, I guess,
00:41:06.080 that every member of the
00:41:07.400 government sends an email
00:41:09.000 by, I guess, Monday by noon
00:41:11.220 or something that says what
00:41:13.160 they accomplished last week.
00:41:14.440 And then a lot of people
00:41:17.280 are pushing back.
00:41:19.320 I think Cash Patel said
00:41:22.020 they'll do their own
00:41:23.300 performance reviews.
00:41:24.720 They don't need other
00:41:25.380 people to do it.
00:41:26.560 State Department had some
00:41:28.140 diplomat pushing back.
00:41:30.320 So you're going to see a
00:41:31.320 whole bunch of pushback.
00:41:33.740 But if you see it as a way
00:41:37.020 to figure out who to fire,
00:41:38.720 it's more than that.
00:41:42.540 It's more than that.
00:41:43.620 My first take was that you
00:41:45.060 should see it as a reframe.
00:41:47.540 Because if somebody says,
00:41:49.360 tell me what you did last
00:41:51.020 week, if you go through that
00:41:53.060 cycle even once of, uh-oh,
00:41:56.300 somebody's asking me to prove
00:41:57.740 that I'm doing something
00:41:59.120 useful, you're going to start
00:42:00.940 thinking that way.
00:42:02.640 So you're going to say to
00:42:03.400 yourself, uh-oh, what if they
00:42:04.840 ask again at the end of this
00:42:06.040 week?
00:42:07.280 So you're going to start
00:42:08.240 doing useful things because
00:42:10.160 you know somebody's going to
00:42:11.140 check on you.
00:42:12.400 So I think partly it's a
00:42:14.420 reframe to make people think
00:42:16.060 in terms of productivity
00:42:18.180 instead of in terms of just
00:42:20.040 staying out of trouble or
00:42:20.960 hiding at home or working
00:42:22.080 at home or processing some
00:42:24.000 transactions.
00:42:25.200 It's like, how do you
00:42:26.020 actually accomplish something?
00:42:27.560 You should be thinking about
00:42:28.480 that every day, if not every
00:42:30.360 week.
00:42:30.660 So as a reframe, I like it.
00:42:33.340 Obviously, there will be tons
00:42:34.500 of people who don't answer
00:42:35.660 at all and tons of people
00:42:37.660 who just make stuff up.
00:42:39.600 How hard would it be to say
00:42:40.980 that you accomplished
00:42:41.640 something last week?
00:42:43.100 How hard would that be?
00:42:44.640 No matter what job you had.
00:42:46.840 Because nobody's going to
00:42:47.860 check it.
00:42:48.820 They're just going to look at
00:42:49.600 the email and see if there's
00:42:50.520 something on it.
00:42:51.880 So if you said, well, I
00:42:54.000 processed 17 big projects
00:42:58.200 last week.
00:42:58.980 I approve them.
00:43:00.820 And that's good.
00:43:03.660 Yeah.
00:43:04.300 But what Elon Musk said
00:43:05.800 is that what they're trying
00:43:08.320 to do is maybe find people
00:43:10.200 who don't, who are so
00:43:12.220 uninvolved in work that they
00:43:14.400 don't even check their email.
00:43:16.800 And that, and there's some
00:43:18.500 thought that there might be
00:43:19.400 people who don't do any work
00:43:21.500 and maybe you're not even
00:43:22.840 employees somehow or, you know,
00:43:24.900 somehow some people are getting
00:43:26.140 money for fraudulent reasons
00:43:28.820 and the email, if they don't
00:43:30.460 get an email from that person,
00:43:31.680 that would be the one you
00:43:32.320 look into.
00:43:32.840 It's like, hmm, why is this
00:43:34.400 one person unable to even lie
00:43:36.580 about what they've done
00:43:37.400 recently?
00:43:38.080 If you can't at least lie
00:43:39.400 about it, which is the normal
00:43:41.040 way business does this, the
00:43:42.880 employees all lie about what
00:43:44.060 they accomplished.
00:43:45.080 If you can't at least lie about
00:43:46.660 it, you might not even be a
00:43:48.260 real person.
00:43:49.480 So that would be useful.
00:43:51.580 So when you look at this email
00:43:53.340 thing, it's like Doge small.
00:43:59.060 Doge big is move fast, break
00:44:01.640 things and fix it.
00:44:03.440 Doge small is give us an email
00:44:06.580 to say what you did because, you
00:44:09.500 know, we might make some
00:44:10.440 decisions based on that.
00:44:11.760 Now, that's also a really messy
00:44:13.660 process.
00:44:14.900 You can imagine a thousand
00:44:16.480 ways that it could go wrong
00:44:19.200 if somebody was on vacation
00:44:20.500 and didn't get the email or
00:44:22.480 somebody just forgot to send
00:44:24.160 an email, but they're actually
00:44:25.340 very productive.
00:44:26.440 So you see all these ways it
00:44:27.740 could go wrong.
00:44:29.800 But still, sometimes you've got
00:44:32.820 to shake the box and see what
00:44:34.960 you learn.
00:44:35.900 So to imagine that somebody
00:44:38.840 like Musk is going to be looking
00:44:40.160 at the emails and say, huh,
00:44:42.440 yep, this one, I guess I can cut
00:44:43.960 this 10%.
00:44:44.620 I don't think that's going to
00:44:46.500 happen.
00:44:47.680 I think they're just testing to
00:44:49.080 see if anybody can even write
00:44:50.320 an email that says they did
00:44:52.060 something.
00:44:52.780 It could be less about what
00:44:54.060 they did than whether or not
00:44:55.480 they get the email.
00:44:57.620 And I don't think they're going
00:44:58.980 to make some broad rule like if
00:45:00.580 there was, if you didn't
00:45:01.500 respond, you're fired.
00:45:02.680 I doubt that.
00:45:03.840 But it will give them an idea
00:45:05.000 of where to look.
00:45:06.540 That might be good.
00:45:08.460 Did I hear from the five that
00:45:12.820 Democrats are holding town
00:45:14.660 halls as kind of their response
00:45:17.720 to being in a power and trying
00:45:19.300 to build some kind of Trump
00:45:21.480 rally situation light, you
00:45:23.980 know, like the baby version of
00:45:26.500 it?
00:45:27.320 Is that a real thing?
00:45:28.260 And then there was some thought
00:45:29.140 that the attendees were paid
00:45:30.560 attendees.
00:45:32.360 And I thought that would be so
00:45:34.980 weak if Trump could give these
00:45:37.500 gigantic outdoor rallies.
00:45:39.020 But the Democrats' response is
00:45:42.240 paid attendees at an indoor
00:45:44.500 town hall.
00:45:47.140 So, and I was trying to think,
00:45:49.660 why is it that we don't see
00:45:51.040 more like Trump rally things on
00:45:54.880 the left?
00:45:56.300 And part of the reason I think is
00:45:58.240 that they hate spending time with
00:45:59.640 each other.
00:46:01.600 If you go to a Trump rally, I
00:46:03.460 haven't done this, but I guarantee
00:46:04.700 this is true.
00:46:06.640 Based on all the reporting of
00:46:08.020 people who have, if you go to a
00:46:09.600 Trump rally, you're going to see
00:46:11.280 a whole bunch of people who are
00:46:13.560 very happy to be with the other
00:46:15.260 bunch of people.
00:46:17.000 And they're happier than they
00:46:18.360 were when they were sitting
00:46:19.200 home.
00:46:19.820 It's like, oh, I'm with my
00:46:21.080 people.
00:46:22.160 But Democrats don't have that
00:46:23.680 option because they've got the
00:46:25.080 crazy left, super left, and then
00:46:27.640 the normies.
00:46:28.800 The normies and the crazies aren't
00:46:30.380 going to exactly fit together in
00:46:32.840 the same room.
00:46:34.300 So I don't know if Democrats even
00:46:36.660 have the option of having any kind
00:46:38.500 of a rally that doesn't go wrong
00:46:40.160 that's real.
00:46:41.800 Claudia was leaving for her
00:46:42.980 pickleball tournament.
00:46:43.900 I've been visualizing my match all
00:46:45.620 week.
00:46:46.440 She was so focused on visualizing
00:46:48.120 that she didn't see the column
00:46:49.400 behind her car on her backhand
00:46:50.980 side.
00:46:52.420 Good thing Claudia's with Intact,
00:46:54.360 the insurer with the largest network
00:46:56.040 of auto service centers in the
00:46:57.480 country.
00:46:58.140 Everything was taken care of under
00:46:59.500 one roof, and she was on her way in
00:47:01.080 a rental car in no time.
00:47:02.580 I made it to my tournament and lost
00:47:05.040 in the first round.
00:47:05.780 But you got there on time.
00:47:07.960 Intact Insurance, your auto service
00:47:09.820 ace.
00:47:10.540 Certain conditions apply.
00:47:12.160 All right.
00:47:13.940 You've probably seen on social media
00:47:16.140 that Elon Musk is having another
00:47:19.480 baby mama drama, and I'm not even
00:47:23.380 going to mention the name of the
00:47:24.880 mother.
00:47:26.540 You know, it's a known influencer.
00:47:28.880 But I'm not interested in their
00:47:31.580 business.
00:47:32.080 And we don't know enough about what
00:47:34.440 they agreed to, what they didn't
00:47:35.900 agree to.
00:47:37.220 We just don't know who did what to
00:47:39.360 whom, and we're never going to know,
00:47:40.860 and it's none of our business.
00:47:42.660 But one of the things that came out
00:47:45.120 of it is screen captures that
00:47:47.940 actually were taken with a separate
00:47:49.400 device, not actually a screen
00:47:50.800 capture, of signal messages, the
00:47:54.020 signal app.
00:47:55.220 Now, the signal app is what people
00:47:56.720 believe is protected, that it's
00:48:00.520 encrypted, and you can set the
00:48:02.600 messages to disappear.
00:48:05.720 But even if you set the messages to
00:48:07.720 disappear, it doesn't stop somebody
00:48:09.840 from taking a second device and just
00:48:12.260 recording what's on the screen before
00:48:13.960 it disappears.
00:48:15.720 And that's what happened.
00:48:16.960 So some of Elon's private, very
00:48:20.120 private messages to the baby mama
00:48:23.960 are now public.
00:48:26.540 They're public.
00:48:28.780 And here's what I want to tell you.
00:48:31.000 It has nothing to do with Elon Musk or
00:48:33.680 anybody else.
00:48:34.860 If you think that your digital messages,
00:48:38.140 no matter where you put them or who you
00:48:40.420 send them to, if you think they're
00:48:41.860 private, you're so wrong.
00:48:44.040 Well, you're so wrong.
00:48:47.640 And let me tell you my experience
00:48:49.380 especially.
00:48:50.780 So in the 90s, when Dilbert was, you
00:48:54.600 know, a much bigger phenomenon than
00:48:57.580 maybe you can even imagine by today's
00:48:59.660 standards, I was, what would I say,
00:49:05.040 at least within the tech world, I was
00:49:08.000 quite a celebrity.
00:49:09.420 Not so much now.
00:49:11.040 But during those days, it was just
00:49:12.920 wild.
00:49:14.060 And one of the things I noticed is that
00:49:15.640 people would often, you know, comment
00:49:17.920 to me in some private way, you know,
00:49:20.540 something essentially a DM-like
00:49:22.440 situation.
00:49:23.780 And sometimes I would answer.
00:49:25.620 It would be somebody I didn't know,
00:49:27.220 you know, a complete stranger.
00:49:28.500 But they would ask a question or they
00:49:30.680 would challenge me on an opinion and
00:49:32.160 I'd give a full answer, sometimes just
00:49:34.260 to strangers.
00:49:35.480 Now, I would think to myself before I
00:49:38.140 became smart, you know, when I was
00:49:40.020 inexperienced, I would think to
00:49:41.880 myself, this is a private conversation
00:49:44.060 and the person knows it, so it's going
00:49:46.800 to stay that way because that's the
00:49:48.020 way your other private conversations
00:49:49.580 stay, right?
00:49:51.660 Here's what I don't count on, but I'm
00:49:54.260 smarter now, so I do.
00:49:55.660 If you're a celebrity, 100% of your
00:49:59.300 messages get screenshotted, 100%.
00:50:03.060 And they're always sent around.
00:50:05.060 If it's something that could embarrass
00:50:07.420 you, it'll be published.
00:50:10.180 Guaranteed.
00:50:11.560 You know, now I'm not talking about your
00:50:12.860 best friends necessarily, but, you know,
00:50:16.640 even your old lovers and stuff could be
00:50:18.780 doing the same thing.
00:50:20.020 So it's a real wake-up call.
00:50:22.200 So if you're Elon Musk, clearly he knows
00:50:25.780 at this point in his life, clearly he
00:50:27.680 knows that everything he says is getting
00:50:30.520 screenshotted, don't you think?
00:50:33.240 Everything?
00:50:34.700 Do you think that when he replies or
00:50:36.980 boosts somebody on X, you don't think
00:50:40.240 that person takes a screenshot immediately
00:50:42.300 and sends it to their friends?
00:50:43.900 Hey, look, I do.
00:50:47.620 I'm also sort of kind of a celebrity.
00:50:50.980 And even I do that.
00:50:52.160 It's like, hey, did you see this?
00:50:53.820 Because it means something.
00:50:54.860 It's meaningful, right?
00:50:56.400 It's not nothing.
00:50:57.660 It's definitely something.
00:50:59.260 So no matter how jaded you are, you still
00:51:01.420 think it's kind of, just kind of cool.
00:51:04.040 You know, it doesn't change your life, but
00:51:05.580 hey, this is cool.
00:51:06.740 Somebody that you respect agreed with you
00:51:08.620 in public.
00:51:09.360 Nice.
00:51:10.780 So my lesson here is there is no privacy.
00:51:17.120 There is no privacy.
00:51:18.700 And the more well-known or controversial you
00:51:21.780 are, it just goes to zero.
00:51:23.980 But here's the thing.
00:51:25.240 Okay, having now read the baby mama's messages
00:51:29.160 and also Elon Musk's responses, I think
00:51:32.960 it's obvious that Elon knows he's never
00:51:35.660 private.
00:51:37.100 Because if you look at the quality of his
00:51:39.260 responses, they are things which if they
00:51:41.440 got public, and they did, you'd say, okay,
00:51:44.640 that was totally reasonable.
00:51:47.020 That's just a reasonable thing to say in that
00:51:49.200 situation.
00:51:50.340 Friendly and reasonable.
00:51:52.240 Now, that's somebody who learned the hard way
00:51:56.280 that everything he writes is public, one way
00:51:59.800 or another.
00:52:00.700 It's either going to be shown to somebody's
00:52:02.120 friends or their family or somebody.
00:52:05.880 So it was just sort of fun to watch the
00:52:10.240 difference because the baby mama in this case
00:52:12.840 said a few things that, I don't know if she
00:52:16.500 wanted those to be public.
00:52:17.660 That was somebody who thought maybe her messages
00:52:21.580 were still private sometimes.
00:52:23.640 But you see Musk's very straightforward,
00:52:27.940 ordinary, common sense stuff.
00:52:30.020 The other thing I've learned, not from the Elon Musk
00:52:35.840 situation, but I've learned from other
00:52:39.280 celebrities recently where their messages are
00:52:41.500 public, there are a lot of people who are
00:52:43.520 really bad at dirty talk.
00:52:46.760 Now, I'm not talking about Musk in this case.
00:52:48.880 I'm talking about other people.
00:52:50.520 But have you noticed that?
00:52:52.460 You never really see other people's dirty talk
00:52:55.120 like I don't.
00:52:56.340 I mean, I never see a guy's dirty talk because
00:52:59.760 it's not directly to me.
00:53:01.860 And women don't really do it.
00:53:05.580 So to me, it's like this invisible world.
00:53:08.560 Like everybody thinks they can do it.
00:53:10.780 But it's actually a skill.
00:53:13.820 And very few people can.
00:53:16.320 Yeah.
00:53:16.960 Yeah.
00:53:17.800 Sometimes the best that guys are doing are
00:53:20.320 stuff like, can you come over here?
00:53:22.620 I want to put it in you.
00:53:24.680 What?
00:53:25.180 What?
00:53:26.320 What?
00:53:27.400 That was your best dirty talk?
00:53:29.660 Of course, sometimes it works if they're, you
00:53:31.920 know, professional athletes or something.
00:53:35.040 Anyway, Governor Newsom of California asked
00:53:37.080 Congress for about $40 billion for the LA
00:53:39.660 wildfire relief.
00:53:42.020 You know, LA Times is reporting this, Clara
00:53:44.540 Harder.
00:53:45.640 And it seems like the right number, $40 billion,
00:53:49.660 like based on things I've heard, that's a,
00:53:52.580 it's not even as high as it could be.
00:53:54.460 But it seems like the right number.
00:53:57.220 But it's so depressing to know that Doge can be,
00:54:02.080 you know, going crazy, finding things to cut and
00:54:05.740 cutting things.
00:54:06.800 And then one match in California could eat all of
00:54:11.220 those savings.
00:54:11.820 And yeah, that fire wasn't caused by a match as far as we know.
00:54:17.100 But one fire and all the savings basically just absorbed.
00:54:23.800 That is seriously bad.
00:54:27.360 Now, Rick Grinnell says that there will probably be conditions on the
00:54:33.540 funding.
00:54:34.260 We don't know if the funding will be granted.
00:54:36.140 It's just been requested.
00:54:37.640 But if it is granted or any portion of it,
00:54:40.360 part of it might have a condition of defunding the California Coastal
00:54:45.560 Commission.
00:54:46.620 So apparently they make it really hard to build anything on the coast.
00:54:49.860 And Trump thinks they need to go away.
00:54:54.140 Maybe that's, maybe that's a plus.
00:54:58.140 Well, there's a story that Zelensky has,
00:55:01.420 according to resist the mainstream,
00:55:03.920 bend the knee.
00:55:05.440 And that he's ready to agree any moment.
00:55:09.260 Maybe it already happened,
00:55:10.420 but allegedly any moment now,
00:55:12.580 Zelensky is going to sign a document that says that he agrees to,
00:55:16.960 that the United States will be in a partnership to exploit the rare
00:55:20.820 earth minerals in Ukraine for the mutual benefit.
00:55:24.780 Now,
00:55:25.500 I wouldn't hold my breath that anything's going to get assigned about
00:55:30.000 that today,
00:55:30.900 because we've already gone through one round of,
00:55:33.200 you said you'd do it.
00:55:35.140 No, I didn't.
00:55:36.620 I'm going to take all your funding.
00:55:38.840 And I think,
00:55:40.080 I think one of the things that happened was that Trump got really mad at
00:55:44.820 Zelensky.
00:55:45.940 This is the reports from behind the curtain.
00:55:48.800 And threatened to remove all American support.
00:55:54.500 If he didn't agree to the mineral deal.
00:55:56.940 Now,
00:55:57.080 I don't know about the details of the mineral deal,
00:55:58.840 but he had to agree to a mineral deal or Trump was just going to pull the
00:56:02.440 rug out.
00:56:03.380 And what I love about this is that Trump doesn't bluff.
00:56:07.180 I absolutely believe that if Zelensky had said,
00:56:11.040 no,
00:56:11.700 no,
00:56:12.140 no,
00:56:12.500 there's no way we're going to do the mineral thing.
00:56:15.000 I believe that Trump would have started pulling out our funding right
00:56:18.400 away.
00:56:18.980 Now he might've reversed himself.
00:56:20.800 If Zelensky also reversed himself and changed his mind,
00:56:24.280 but he actually would have,
00:56:26.620 I believe he would have pulled the funding.
00:56:28.720 And what matters is that Zelensky believed it.
00:56:33.240 Yeah.
00:56:35.180 When I say he doesn't bluff,
00:56:38.080 I mean that he,
00:56:39.700 he makes threats that he can actually do.
00:56:44.000 And he will.
00:56:45.660 Now,
00:56:45.960 usually the threats are so bad that if he started to implement the threat,
00:56:49.580 the other side would immediately cave.
00:56:51.340 So the caving is what he wants.
00:56:53.340 He doesn't want to do the threat.
00:56:55.300 So these are real.
00:56:56.860 He doesn't bluff.
00:56:58.320 The,
00:56:58.720 the longer that the rest of the world realizes he doesn't bluff.
00:57:02.980 Cause he doesn't need to.
00:57:04.740 He just doesn't need to.
00:57:06.140 I mean,
00:57:06.480 he might do it if he needed to,
00:57:07.700 but he doesn't need to.
00:57:08.660 He's got real weapons,
00:57:10.420 tools.
00:57:11.160 Let's call it tools,
00:57:11.940 not weapons.
00:57:13.440 And,
00:57:14.000 but here's a little wrinkle.
00:57:15.220 According to the financial times,
00:57:17.700 you know,
00:57:18.160 none of the news is real.
00:57:20.200 If you knew the real secret behind the news,
00:57:22.720 it would just be completely different every time.
00:57:25.540 According to the financial times,
00:57:28.320 Zelensky is the one who proposed that the U S take a stake.
00:57:32.180 And the Ukraine is rare minerals.
00:57:35.500 So the financial times says it was Zelensky's idea all along.
00:57:39.880 And he brought it up.
00:57:41.600 When back in September.
00:57:43.900 Now that was long before Trump first said,
00:57:47.260 let's do something with the rare earth minerals,
00:57:49.340 right?
00:57:50.480 Now I,
00:57:51.300 I'm not going to say the financial times reporting is correct.
00:57:54.620 I'm just going to point that it exists.
00:57:57.420 Wouldn't that be wild?
00:57:58.640 If we got to this point,
00:57:59.940 you're thinking that Zelensky was trying to hold out on the rare earth
00:58:03.520 minerals and Trump was trying to get them,
00:58:05.960 but the entire time it was Zelensky's idea.
00:58:08.780 And he always liked it from the start.
00:58:10.380 He just wanted to make sure it was good for Ukraine.
00:58:14.560 I don't know.
00:58:15.100 Don't know what to believe anymore.
00:58:16.120 Meanwhile,
00:58:19.360 Britain and France trying to be helpful.
00:58:22.560 According to the wall street journal,
00:58:23.900 they,
00:58:24.140 they think they've got an idea that they would employ,
00:58:27.920 deploy Britain and France,
00:58:29.760 30,000 European peacekeepers in Ukraine,
00:58:32.460 but only if there's a ceasefire that looks like it would stick.
00:58:35.120 And they would ask for the United States to backstop them.
00:58:40.140 In other words,
00:58:41.660 if Russia attacked while they had their forces in Ukraine,
00:58:46.680 that the United States would get involved too.
00:58:49.240 To which I say,
00:58:50.640 are they just reinventing NATO?
00:58:53.340 Let's say NATO,
00:58:55.480 European people coordinating to defend against Russia.
00:59:01.020 And the U S is the biggest footprint there,
00:59:04.820 but they don't want to do NATO.
00:59:07.140 Cause that's what Russia objects to.
00:59:10.080 So they create a little like proto NATO.
00:59:14.040 They just don't call it NATO.
00:59:15.580 Oh no,
00:59:16.280 it's not NATO.
00:59:16.900 It's just two of the most important countries and being backstopped by the
00:59:22.600 most important country.
00:59:25.040 Okay.
00:59:26.060 Well,
00:59:26.320 that's not NATO,
00:59:27.640 but it's very NATO ish.
00:59:30.120 It's very NATO like.
00:59:33.860 So maybe this is how you solve international things.
00:59:36.680 You do things that maybe don't make sense on paper,
00:59:39.660 but you can sell it.
00:59:41.960 You know,
00:59:42.480 if you can sell it to the public,
00:59:43.640 it's good enough.
00:59:46.000 Anyway,
00:59:46.740 here's a,
00:59:47.580 what sounds like a tiny story that could be a big one.
00:59:51.400 According to the guardian,
00:59:53.640 there's a research group that figured out how to add some,
00:59:57.600 I guess microbes or something to soil.
01:00:01.720 And it allows it to absorb nutrients so much better that they could use a lot
01:00:06.900 less fertilizer.
01:00:09.000 So a lot less nitrate and phosphate.
01:00:11.420 Now you might say,
01:00:13.020 Scott,
01:00:13.300 that's the boring,
01:00:14.020 smallest story I've ever heard.
01:00:15.560 I never even think about nitrate and phosphate,
01:00:19.500 but you would,
01:00:22.140 if you knew that phosphate in particular fact,
01:00:25.740 check me if I'm wrong,
01:00:26.640 but I think this is true.
01:00:27.940 The phosphate,
01:00:29.180 you know,
01:00:29.380 the main,
01:00:30.240 the main fertilizer,
01:00:32.060 we have a global shortage and we don't really know how to make up the
01:00:39.640 difference.
01:00:41.120 So the food supply is in gen,
01:00:45.840 a genuine threat because a fertilizer goes away or we have to use less of it.
01:00:50.760 You're going to get a lot less yield,
01:00:51.900 but this might be a technical fix.
01:00:55.220 So we don't know if this is going to be commercial grade yet,
01:00:59.080 but if they did anything that made our existing supply of fertilizer last
01:01:06.040 longer,
01:01:06.580 that'd be a pretty big deal.
01:01:08.160 Pretty big deal.
01:01:10.240 So that's what I've got for today.
01:01:14.840 Thanks for joining everybody.
01:01:16.200 I'm going to say something very loud happening outside.
01:01:24.300 This shouldn't be happening today.
01:01:27.220 I better check that out.
01:01:29.680 It sounds like it's on my property,
01:01:31.440 but I don't think it is.
01:01:32.840 I know you can't hear it.
01:01:34.320 Anyway,
01:01:34.720 X,
01:01:35.120 thanks for joining.
01:01:35.980 I'm going to say bye to you on X.
01:01:38.260 We'll,
01:01:38.980 I think we'll be able to put this up on YouTube and rumble later today.
01:01:43.460 It takes a while to do that.
01:01:44.980 And I'm not feeling better.
01:01:49.440 No,
01:01:49.600 that's a different story.
01:01:50.560 I'll talk to the locals people privately,
01:01:53.140 but for now,
01:01:55.020 thanks for joining on X.
