Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2771 CWSA 03⧸07⧸25

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

00:00:05.920 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and frankly, you've never had a better time.

00:00:11.160 But if you'd like to take this up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:18.200 all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:25.620 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:27.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:33.000 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens. Yeah, that's right. Right now. Go.

00:00:42.460 Sergio says his coffee is hot and ready, just like all of us.

00:00:50.980 Couldn't be any hotter. Couldn't be any more ready.

00:00:54.380 Well, let's see what's going on in science.

00:00:59.260 There's some kind of electron breakthrough.

00:01:03.580 So Mario Nuffel is summarizing this from SciTech Daily.

00:01:08.300 But Japanese and Korean researchers have cracked the code to manipulating electrons at the molecular level.

00:01:16.220 Wow. I'll bet you were waiting for scientists to be able to manipulate electrons at the molecular level.

00:01:24.440 And if you're like me, you thought to yourself, hmm, I don't know what good that is.

00:01:29.260 But apparently it will create ultra fast processing and it will revolutionize solar cells and LEDs.

00:01:37.480 And basically the world of electronics might never be the same if they get this to be commercial and scale up.

00:01:47.800 But it looks like maybe they can.

00:01:51.080 In other news, scientists at Johns Hopkins University have figured out how to use CRISPR,

00:01:59.260 you know, the genetic editing thing, to create gigantic sized tomatoes and eggplants.

00:02:09.900 Let's see. Gene therapy to create gigantic eggplants. 0.99

00:02:16.140 I wonder if a professional humorist could do anything with that.

00:02:21.980 Let's see. Whose genes would they use to increase the size of the eggplants? 0.95

00:02:29.260 I can't think of a single joke.

00:02:32.600 I don't know.

00:02:33.640 You know, I was hoping there would be a joke there about the giant eggplants

00:02:37.580 and whose genes they use to beef them up. 0.99

00:02:41.960 But I can't think of a thing.

00:02:43.600 So we'll move on.

00:02:47.320 Here's a study.

00:02:48.880 According to study finds, men with excellent sperm quality live longer.

00:02:56.620 You could have just asked me.

00:02:59.260 Let me explain those to you.

00:03:02.480 Probably the single most useful measure of your health is your reproductive fitness.

00:03:10.680 If you're a man, that means can you produce great sperm and deliver it?

00:03:15.580 And so I think they could have saved a little time on this study by just going to me and saying,

00:03:22.720 Scott, what do you think?

00:03:24.460 People who have excellent sperm compared to people who have degraded sperm.

00:03:30.280 Who do you think is going to live longer?

00:03:33.020 I think I could have gotten this one every time.

00:03:35.780 Save you a lot of money.

00:03:36.920 Just ask me next time.

00:03:38.040 Meanwhile, speaking of Siemens, a company called Siemens.

00:03:44.060 This is actually a coincidence.

00:03:46.320 I didn't realize I put these two stories together.

00:03:48.480 But Siemens, the company, not this sperm, announced a $285 million investment in U.S. manufacturing.

00:03:57.540 Now, some years ago, I bought a tiny little bit of stock in Siemens because I thought we were going to stop Huawei from selling this kind of equipment in the U.S.

00:04:10.320 And I thought, hmm, who is the competition to Huawei?

00:04:14.520 So I thought, Siemens might be Zooming.

00:04:17.440 But I eventually sold that tiny little investment and never made money on it because Siemens just sort of languished for a long time.

00:04:26.180 But if they're coming into the U.S., good news. 1.00

00:04:30.580 And Trump's also announced some kind of major shipping infrastructure investment, $20 billion.

00:04:37.200 Thomas Stevenson, the Post Millennial, is writing about this.

00:04:42.300 And I guess there's a big shipping company called CMA, CGM that's going to invest this.

00:04:48.460 So it's investing in infrastructure.

00:04:51.020 So I think that means ports, you know, beefing up the ports.

00:04:55.080 This could be related, I would assume, to the fact that Trump wants to beef up all of the shipbuilding capabilities in the United States, commercial and military.

00:05:07.200 That's a big, big deal.

00:05:08.920 The shipbuilding thing.

00:05:10.800 I mean, if you just look at the size of the ocean and you look at the threats that are going to be coming at us from other shipbuilding countries. 0.68

00:05:20.500 And it just seems to me also that the technology to just live on the ocean is finally completely here.

00:05:30.520 Because if you had, like, if you built your own little, you know, seafaring island that had a motor that could get out of the storms and stuff.

00:05:38.360 And you had a tiny little nuclear reactor, you could desalinate all day long.

00:05:45.620 You could probably, you know, fish like crazy.

00:05:49.740 I feel like all the technology is here now to make the ocean just the place that people live.

00:05:55.800 So I think that'll happen.

00:05:58.700 There's a jobs report.

00:06:00.220 There was a little, little below expectation, but not much.

00:06:06.200 So I guess we added 151,000 jobs in February.

00:06:11.740 But the unemployment rate rose to 4.1 from four.

00:06:18.060 And then the January jobs were revised down by 18,000.

00:06:22.160 So that's not ideal.

00:06:25.000 But apparently people thought it could have been worse because of all the doge and tariff and all the other uncertainties in the world right now.

00:06:36.360 I think people were just happy to see that it doesn't seem like yet it's making a huge difference, at least a huge negative difference.

00:06:45.220 Meanwhile, Elon Musk's latest starship, I guess you'd call it a test.

00:06:55.380 Part of it blew up, but the, I think it's the, I don't know anything about rockets.

00:07:01.440 Would it be the booster that was successfully caught by the chopsticks again?

00:07:07.700 And every time it happens, how many times has it happened?

00:07:10.960 Twice?

00:07:13.180 It's very impressive.

00:07:15.220 It's hard to get more impressive than those giant chopsticks.

00:07:20.480 So that was half successful.

00:07:23.160 Meanwhile, a Tesla dealership in Oregon was shot up.

00:07:28.400 Multiple cars were damaged.

00:07:30.040 No people were damaged.

00:07:31.940 But it seems to me that, oh, and then the authorities arrested a trans extremist who was apparently the shooter.

00:07:42.340 So a trans extremist.

00:07:44.500 Now, when I tell you it was a trans extremist that shot up a car company, is your first thought, hmm, it's somebody who was born as a biological woman, but then transitioned to a man?

00:07:57.600 Is that your first thought?

00:07:59.700 Or do you say to yourself, hmm, that sounds like somebody who was born a biological male and transitioned to a woman, but still had at least one habit that men seem to have more than women, which is shooting stuff up?

00:08:14.920 Well, if you guess the latter, you'd be right.

00:08:20.400 Warning, warning.

00:08:22.280 There's an incoming dad joke.

00:08:25.120 Incoming dad joke.

00:08:26.620 Get ready.

00:08:27.400 Get ready.

00:08:27.820 Ironically, ironically, it was the only transmission a Tesla dealership has ever seen.

00:08:36.880 Boom.

00:08:39.040 Now, if you need to explain that to anybody, Teslas don't have transmissions.

00:08:44.720 But there was one trans on a mission to shoot up the car dealer, so it's the only transmission ever in that dealership.

00:08:56.180 You're welcome.

00:08:56.800 So, any moment, I'm expecting that truckload of Epstein files to be, okay, I'm just joking.

00:09:05.880 There's no truck of Epstein files.

00:09:09.040 You're never going to see anything new on Epstein.

00:09:11.540 There might be a truck full of things that are going to shred.

00:09:17.320 But you still waiting?

00:09:18.880 Everybody waiting to see a picture of the truck?

00:09:21.700 Have you seen any pictures of the truck?

00:09:24.520 No.

00:09:24.920 I don't even know if there is a truck.

00:09:28.160 I don't know if there are any Epstein files.

00:09:30.940 But I'm not going to wait for any of the good stuff.

00:09:34.140 I don't think the good stuff is coming.

00:09:37.520 Ever.

00:09:51.760 Scotiabank.

00:09:52.340 You're richer than you think.

00:09:54.920 Speaking of the good stuff, so Trump is teasing that he's going to release some information or talk about the two assassination attempts against them.

00:10:06.240 And he's as perplexed as we are about why we don't know more about this.

00:10:13.500 And he was talking about the number of devices and apps.

00:10:16.240 He said, you had one of them, one of the attempted shooter people, you had one who had three apps, two of which were foreign, supposedly, and was the biggest white shoe law firm in Pennsylvania, even though they don't live in necessarily a white shoe area.

00:10:32.700 And he said, what's that all about, is law, what?

00:10:38.880 And Trump seemed to agree that he thinks there's something bigger might be behind everything.

00:10:46.760 He doesn't know what.

00:10:48.520 He says, other people think that, that there might be something bigger, conspiracy-wise.

00:10:53.560 So it makes me think it a little bit, too, he said.

00:10:58.280 Would you like to hear my prediction about all the stuff we're going to find out about the attempted assassins?

00:11:05.540 Nothing.

00:11:05.980 I'm pretty sure all the information about the two attempted assassins, it's on that Epstein truck. 0.90

00:11:15.640 You know, and the Epstein truck, of course, is on a UFO that they keep in a big warehouse.

00:11:21.940 No, none of this is real.

00:11:23.480 You're not going to find out anything about these assassination attempts.

00:11:27.680 Not even a little bit, ever.

00:11:30.600 And if you do, it's probably going to be a lie.

00:11:32.580 And then what we'll think we know for years will be something like, oh, it was the cartels, or oh, it was the mafia.

00:11:41.160 You won't know.

00:11:42.500 You might get a story, but you won't know.

00:11:48.100 Meanwhile, there's a story, the University of California researchers, they say there's a paralyzed man who's been using a robotic arm for months,

00:11:58.420 and he can move the arm just by imagining what he wants it to do.

00:12:04.060 How cool is that?

00:12:05.640 So apparently he can, you know, pour himself a glass of water just by imagining the arm pouring itself a glass of water.

00:12:14.480 Now, they seem to think that this is the beginning of something big and that, you know, maybe they'll be able to adapt this to lots of other people.

00:12:23.320 It is very impressive.

00:12:24.140 But I've got a question.

00:12:26.960 Does it work for every kind of personality?

00:12:30.400 Because if I had a robotic arm, the things I would imagine would be more than the things I would want it to do.

00:12:42.760 For example, I might want it to pour me a glass of water, but it's not the only thing I would imagine it doing.

00:12:49.240 You know what I mean?

00:12:50.460 You know what I mean, right?

00:12:51.600 You know what I mean?

00:12:52.160 So what would happen if you have ADHD and you can't concentrate on the glass of water, but your mind drifts to other things you could imagine that arm doing?

00:13:06.820 Again, can we agree that all the men got to the joke before I finished?

00:13:15.880 I didn't need to finish, right?

00:13:17.500 As soon as I said the arm does what you imagine it does, I think every man listening to this started giggling silently.

00:13:26.200 Sort of like Beavis and Butthead.

00:13:30.080 Let me try it again.

00:13:32.740 It's a mechanical arm that does whatever you imagine it.

00:13:37.400 Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

00:13:39.580 Perfect.

00:13:42.360 Anyway, Reuters has some fake news, according to Carolyn Levitt.

00:13:48.480 They said that 240,000 Ukrainians in the U.S. might be deported.

00:13:57.720 That is apparently fake news from Reuters.

00:14:00.640 But there is a kernel of truth in that Trump said that they're looking at some individuals.

00:14:07.920 So it might involve some special cases, but no, they're not going to look at every Ukrainian in the U.S. and deport them.

00:14:16.820 That's not a thing.

00:14:19.420 In other medical news, Washington University of Medicine is trying to harness this chemical that makes cannabis a good pain reliever because they don't want to use opioids because they have lots of downside.

00:14:35.000 But they've developed a compound that mimics a natural molecule found in cannabis, and it seems pretty good at pain relief without the side effects, and also doesn't make you high.

00:14:50.060 So I'll just say this, which I've said before.

00:14:53.920 I can't even imagine my life without cannabis as a pain reliever.

00:15:00.540 Oh, my God.

00:15:01.960 I'll admit something that most of you don't know, but the subscribers on Locals do know.

00:15:10.520 It wasn't too long ago, maybe a few weeks ago, that I was just in crushing pain before the show, and it was stomach.

00:15:20.760 It was just some kind of stomach issue.

00:15:23.180 And I couldn't even stand up straight, couldn't concentrate.

00:15:26.120 I mean, it was really bad.

00:15:27.260 And I took the cure.

00:15:32.480 So prior to doing the show, I completely eliminated that pain, and it took five minutes, just five minutes of illegal medical use.

00:15:46.080 In California, it's all legal.

00:15:47.920 And in five minutes, it was like it never happened.

00:15:51.020 So for stomach stuff, it's just incredible, if you ever have any.

00:15:57.640 And it works for all kinds of stuff.

00:16:00.520 And I've used it.

00:16:01.740 I've also used it when I got some kind of backache, and you've done everything you're supposed to do.

00:16:08.140 You've used your inversion table and your Advil or whatever the hell you're using, and it gets you almost there, but not.

00:16:18.100 Five minutes with the totally legal California medicinal treatment.

00:16:25.400 Five minutes, you're right back to action like nothing ever hurt in the first place.

00:16:29.960 It is quite an amazing painkiller.

00:16:32.820 It doesn't work for everything all the time or all the people.

00:16:34.980 And, of course, there's side effects.

00:16:37.300 You know, you don't want to be operating a vehicle or doing it around kids.

00:16:42.200 So there's a million reasons why you wouldn't do it.

00:16:45.200 But if those don't apply, it's a real good painkiller.

00:16:48.640 So Tulsi Gabbard says that the Biden administration knowingly let hundreds of illegal migrants come into the country who had known connections, known connections to ISIS.

00:17:06.640 And now those people, hundreds of them, the ISIS-connected people are in the United States.

00:17:16.040 And she said that in the Laura Ingram show.

00:17:19.960 Now, how do you explain that?

00:17:24.960 Is it true?

00:17:27.540 Because it sounds true.

00:17:30.120 But what was the thinking behind that?

00:17:35.780 You know, if you're not a Democrat, there's a whole bunch of stuff that Democrats do from hiring these district attorneys, these Soros district attorneys, to opening the borders, to this.

00:17:49.920 You know, knowingly letting ISIS-related people into the country. 1.00

00:17:53.400 It doesn't look like they had any plan other than destroying the country.

00:17:59.320 I can't even think of what the alternative explanation would be.

00:18:03.480 Was it, well, they were connected to ISIS, but, you know, everybody in that region was maybe a little connected to ISIS.

00:18:11.740 Was that it?

00:18:13.400 Was it such a do-gooder attitude that they're like, well, you know, they're not totally ISIS.

00:18:20.780 They're just, you know, ISIS-adjacent.

00:18:24.520 They just have a lot of friends who are in ISIS.

00:18:27.200 Can't blame them for that.

00:18:29.120 I mean, what exactly were they thinking when they did this?

00:18:32.700 It's just baffling.

00:18:35.860 Meanwhile, Trump has ordered the revocation of security clearances for the law firm that was behind the Steele dossier.

00:18:46.860 So Jerry Dunleavy and Just News is reporting this.

00:18:49.520 So that was, you've heard of these guys, right?

00:18:53.460 Perkins Coy Law Firm.

00:18:56.000 So the ones that had a close relationship with Hillary Clinton, and they seem to be behind a lot of, you know, Democrat shenanigans.

00:19:06.660 So Trump just revoked their security clearance.

00:19:09.780 Why did they ever have any security clearance?

00:19:12.680 Why did that law firm ever have any security clearance?

00:19:15.980 Why does any law firm have a security clearance?

00:19:18.180 Shouldn't it always be temporary while they're working on a project?

00:19:22.980 Why would you keep a security clearance after you've done whatever job you're working on?

00:19:28.620 I mean, I could see why you need it sometimes.

00:19:31.200 But why would you just sort of maintain it?

00:19:34.840 I would think that you would lose it the moment you were done with your lawyering for whatever the case was.

00:19:41.200 I don't know.

00:19:42.020 So it seems right to me that the law firm behind the Steele dossier cannot be trusted with American secrets.

00:19:49.560 That's for sure.

00:19:52.040 That's just cause and effect.

00:19:54.800 One plus one is due.

00:19:56.380 That's basic stuff.

00:19:57.740 Yeah, you can't trust them.

00:21:00.520 Meanwhile, you'll never believe this story.

00:21:04.340 Joel Pollack is writing in Breitbart that billions of dollars were spent on services for homeless people in L.A.

00:21:11.280 And guess what?

00:21:12.660 Hold on to your seat.

00:21:13.600 You're going to be surprised by this.

00:21:15.800 Billions of dollars were spent on service for homeless in the L.A.

00:21:21.280 And unbelievably, there's no accounting for it.

00:21:26.400 I know.

00:21:27.540 Biggest surprise in the world, isn't it?

00:21:29.620 No, it's not.

00:21:30.840 You could just ask Scott.

00:21:33.460 Hey, Scott.

00:21:34.000 Scott, I heard a bunch of Democrats had billions of dollars floating around for a thing.

00:21:39.540 What's the thing?

00:21:40.300 Doesn't matter.

00:21:42.100 Okay.

00:21:42.340 Now, it's been a few years.

00:21:45.820 Do you think they can account for where all the billions went?

00:21:49.720 Scott, what do you think?

00:21:51.680 Let me research by just closing my eyes for a second.

00:21:55.500 Unaccounted for.

00:21:57.040 Unaccounted for.

00:21:58.260 Unaccounted for.

00:21:59.420 But what about the Pentagon and their trillions of dollars?

00:22:03.560 It's been a few years.

00:22:04.920 Do you think we can go check where all that went?

00:22:10.000 Unaccounted for.

00:22:11.060 Unaccounted for.

00:22:11.720 But what about USAID and all its funding to the 55,000 NGOs?

00:22:17.840 It's been, you know, years they've been doing it.

00:22:20.000 Do you think we can account for that?

00:22:22.380 Close my eyes.

00:22:24.620 No.

00:22:25.480 Unaccounted for.

00:22:27.040 I feel like there might be some kind of a pattern emerging here.

00:22:31.360 I don't know.

00:22:31.900 Can you see it?

00:22:34.240 Just ask Scott.

00:22:35.920 Meanwhile, the Wikipedia co-founder.

00:22:38.080 Somebody said this is not brand new news, but it's the first I heard it.

00:22:43.940 So one of the Wikipedia co-founders is calling on Doge to investigate whether government actors

00:22:50.980 have infiltrated the online encyclopedia.

00:22:54.940 Okay.

00:22:55.960 Let's see if I can save them some time.

00:22:58.040 Doge.

00:22:58.460 Doge, you don't need to take this one.

00:23:00.600 I'll handle this one.

00:23:01.900 Close my eyes.

00:23:04.320 Yes.

00:23:05.080 Yes.

00:23:05.540 Foreign actors are trying to manipulate Wikipedia. 0.85

00:23:09.340 Yep.

00:23:09.980 Yep.

00:23:11.140 You're done.

00:23:12.480 Elon, I got this one.

00:23:13.980 You're doing a great job on Doge.

00:23:16.460 But, you know, you could offload some of this to me.

00:23:20.260 I got this.

00:23:21.320 Yeah.

00:23:22.880 Let's see.

00:23:23.520 What else is going on?

00:23:25.180 You'll never believe this.

00:23:26.600 But, Scott, do you think Hunter Biden's art is selling now as well as it did when his father

00:23:35.560 was in office?

00:23:36.740 Close my eyes.

00:23:38.600 Use my deep research.

00:23:41.200 Oh, no.

00:23:42.240 I would guess that his art is nearly worthless now.

00:23:46.140 Let's check in.

00:23:47.580 Oh, according to the New York Post, Hunter's having trouble selling his art.

00:23:52.400 Huh.

00:23:53.960 I'm right again.

00:23:56.760 Now, here's what I'm wondering.

00:24:00.340 Does it seem to you that every Democrat organization is just some version of Hunter's selling art?

00:24:09.700 Meaning that it's not just sketchy.

00:24:12.620 It's obviously sketchy, and everybody knows it, and you can tell exactly what's going on.

00:24:19.840 Let me give you some examples.

00:24:22.320 How many of these seem like they're money laundering organizations?

00:24:26.180 The Clinton Foundation, the Biden crime family, USAID, and the 55,000 NGOs?

00:24:33.780 How about ActBlue, the organization that collects donations?

00:24:38.340 That's all they do?

00:24:40.400 Do you think that sounds legit?

00:24:42.900 How about Black Lives Matter with what we know about it now?

00:24:45.520 What about the fact that Joe Biden was doing autosign and may not have even been conscious

00:24:52.740 of the things he was approving?

00:24:54.960 That feels a little sus.

00:24:56.600 What about those primaries where Hillary kneecapped Bernie Sanders once, and then Biden got forced

00:25:03.880 out, and nothing happened that even looked slightly like a Democrat process?

00:25:08.100 What about everything that's ever happened in Ukraine?

00:25:12.620 Doesn't that look like just giant money laundering?

00:25:14.820 What about the L.A. homeless spending, as we just discussed?

00:25:19.340 Yes, looks like a giant money laundering situation.

00:25:22.460 What about every single local city government, the big ones? 0.55

00:25:27.120 All corrupt. 0.98

00:25:28.120 All corrupt. 0.99

00:25:29.000 They're all money laundering things.

00:25:31.240 So they're either just corrupt, or they're corrupt as a money laundering thing.

00:25:37.240 And I'm trying to think, is there anything like that on the Republican side?

00:25:44.900 Do I have some kind of a news bubble problem?

00:25:50.620 But it seems to me that Democrats, and I don't say this with any hyperbole whatsoever.

00:25:56.460 If you look at the Democrats from the larger organization, not the voters.

00:26:02.060 There are plenty of decent Democrat voters, so these are just citizens.

00:26:06.920 But when it becomes an organization of any kind, and there's funding of any kind, isn't it always

00:26:13.220 criminal?

00:26:14.540 As in 100% of the time?

00:26:16.880 It doesn't matter if you're a mayor of a city, or you started a charity, or you're helping

00:26:23.880 some poor people in another country a little bit while you're keeping too much of it.

00:26:27.980 It just seems like 100% of everything Democrats do is intended from the start to be a money

00:26:36.780 laundering operation.

00:26:38.780 And it's hard to ignore that it's almost entirely a criminal organization that's got this thin

00:26:46.700 veneer of the theater kids acting out to make it look legitimate, but doing a really bad

00:26:53.580 job of it.

00:26:54.260 Anyway, so speaking of Biden and his auto pen, so what we found out was that pretty much all

00:27:02.800 of Biden's signatures during his term were done by a machine that automatically signs for

00:27:09.220 presidents.

00:27:10.960 But if you noticed, Trump signs a lot of executive orders, and he does it in person, and he does

00:27:16.760 it publicly.

00:27:17.380 But there's some question, if all of Biden's signatures, until I think his resignation signature

00:27:24.840 or something, if they were all done by a machine, given what we know about his mental capability

00:27:31.940 at the time, and how he was managed by the people around him, Attorney General Andrew Bailey

00:27:39.760 is demanding that the Department of Justice investigate whether Biden was actually aware of what he was

00:27:48.300 signing, meaning what the machine was signing on his behalf.

00:27:52.500 Because if he wasn't aware, that means that somebody else was illegally running the government.

00:27:58.680 And that's a big problem.

00:28:02.640 And it would mean that, according to Attorney General Andrew Bailey, it would mean that the executive orders

00:28:09.020 he gave, the pardons, and all the other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.

00:28:14.620 Now, that could be big.

00:28:18.520 Because if we determined that he literally didn't know what he was doing, and other people were

00:28:23.720 just creating laws, why would those laws, the executive orders and pardons, the things that

00:28:29.780 came from the president, why would they be valid if they didn't come from the president?

00:28:35.460 And there's no evidence that he even knew about it.

00:28:37.640 Now, it's premature.

00:28:40.620 So it could be that if you ask Biden, he'll say, oh, yeah, I knew all about that.

00:28:45.100 And then we're fine.

00:28:46.380 So I don't mind that they use an automatic signature thing.

00:28:49.800 That's been normal for a long time.

00:28:52.500 But it seems like the right question to ask, because I think there's some possibility that

00:28:58.520 it was exactly what it looks like, a puppet government.

00:29:02.220 Well, meanwhile, I'm fascinated by Gavin Newsom trying to rehabilitate himself and maybe trying

00:29:12.920 to be a national candidate for office.

00:29:16.040 He doesn't have a chance, by the way.

00:29:17.660 He doesn't have a chance of winning.

00:29:20.080 Because I can't imagine Democrats picking a slick white guy to be their champion.

00:29:27.880 It just doesn't feel like that's where they're at.

00:29:30.440 But, you know, I give him credit for trying something and trying the podcast.

00:29:37.640 He had Charlie Kirk on his show.

00:29:40.140 And, you know, I know there's a point of view that conservatives shouldn't have any contact

00:29:49.000 and give them any oxygen whatsoever.

00:29:51.680 But I don't think it's going to hurt because it really isn't organic.

00:30:03.540 And I don't think it's going to catch on.

00:30:06.220 The thing that Democrats get wrong when they always use the Joe Rogan example, and they

00:30:13.480 say, oh, Joe Rogan did this and Joe Rogan did that.

00:30:16.900 How long did it take Joe Rogan to become Joe Rogan?

00:30:21.000 Like, he went through a path in which he was acquiring a whole bunch of insanely useful

00:30:26.840 skills that came together and then years of doing the show with not much attention at all.

00:30:33.160 And then he basically, through power of personality and just doing good work, created, you know,

00:30:41.000 an industry that largely was in his image.

00:30:46.260 Now, he wasn't the only one who made podcasting, but clearly he was the biggest footprint and

00:30:51.380 the one that created the model for other people.

00:30:54.340 So, watching Democrats get everything wrong.

00:31:02.300 So, one of the things they get wrong is that, wait a minute, they have podcasts, so we need

00:31:08.420 a podcast that is so completely off base.

00:31:13.100 The reason that people have podcasts is that the podcaster is really good at it and the entertainment

00:31:19.680 is good so people watch it and then it gets influenced.

00:31:22.340 You don't just start by trying to be Joe Rogan.

00:31:27.380 Like, that's not your entry point.

00:31:30.840 No matter how famous or how much of a governor you are, it's not your starting point.

00:31:36.820 Like, being Joe Rogan took like 20 years.

00:31:40.660 Anyway, I saw an article about what killed traditional media and it was a smart article,

00:31:50.980 but I thought, isn't there an easier answer to what killed traditional media?

00:31:57.620 Now, on one hand, it looks like Trump might have been the one who killed traditional media

00:32:07.920 because he's the one that taught us it was fake news and turned it into really the way

00:32:13.580 we think about news.

00:32:14.820 And I think it was an awakening for at least half the country to find out that the news

00:32:21.080 was completely made up and always has been.

00:32:24.220 But I think it's even something bigger than that.

00:32:26.820 I think the news could have survived Trump and conservatives saying it's fake because

00:32:33.860 all they had to say is, no, it isn't.

00:32:36.200 And then all the people who were watching it would say, oh, no, it isn't because it came

00:32:40.380 on the news.

00:32:41.940 People would just believe in the news.

00:32:43.640 So they could just say, no, there's no problem.

00:32:46.080 We're not biased.

00:32:48.420 But here's what I think it is.

00:32:49.540 I think it was DEI.

00:32:51.640 I think DEI killed the news.

00:32:53.640 And I think DEI killed the Democrat Party completely.

00:32:58.200 And there's a real obvious mechanism to it.

00:33:02.900 So once you allow that DEI is valid, you've got to do it.

00:33:07.540 Once you've got people who came in through the DEI doorway, you're going to get people

00:33:13.880 who, and you can see it in action, people who think identity needs to be in every story.

00:33:22.400 And you're going to get a type of news that people don't want to watch.

00:33:28.200 And you're going to get this niche stuff, like lots of trans stories and lots of weird 1.00

00:33:34.720 BLM stories. 0.98

00:33:36.440 So I think that DEI actually crushed the news business, the same as it crushed the Democrats.

00:33:43.860 The Democrats can't recover from DEI.

00:33:46.200 It's a one-way trip.

00:33:48.140 Because even if they said, all right, we reject DEI because the country seems to be not embracing

00:33:53.320 it as much as we want.

00:33:55.120 They would just lose, I don't know, what, 20 or 30% of their base and have no chance

00:33:59.540 of winning anything ever.

00:34:01.380 So they created a situation where there just isn't, there's not a road back.

00:34:09.800 Here's what Joe Rogan said, mocking the whole situation.

00:34:15.840 He said, quote, CNN said that there's this network of podcasts for the right that's this

00:34:23.260 huge corporate finance network. 1.00

00:34:25.780 No, it's just a bunch of friends, you fucking idiots. 1.00

00:34:28.840 We do each other's podcasts. 1.00

00:34:32.580 Yeah, that's pretty much the whole story.

00:34:35.120 It's a bunch of friends.

00:34:36.280 They do each other's podcasts.

00:34:38.020 Because they're trying to figure this out.

00:34:40.100 They're saying that they need that on the left.

00:34:44.320 Good luck.

00:34:45.500 You guys cancel each other if your Ukraine flag is too small. 1.00

00:34:50.000 You guys talk shit about each other for not having trans kids. 1.00

00:34:53.840 You guys are out of your minds. 1.00

00:34:55.680 You're not going to sync up together. 1.00

00:34:57.420 You're in a suicide cult.

00:35:01.040 So true. 0.67

00:35:03.100 So true.

00:35:03.960 But the Democrats have a really good plan for combating the fact that their party is

00:35:11.180 in complete downward spiral.

00:35:15.120 They've lost pretty much power and everything.

00:35:18.180 And they don't have any leadership and they don't have any good policies that the country

00:35:22.100 is in favor of.

00:35:23.820 But they do have cringe videos.

00:35:27.180 So the best evidence that women are in charge of the Democrat Party is cringe videos. 1.00

00:35:33.960 Have you ever been in a car ride with adult women when a good song came on the radio? 0.99

00:35:43.720 They immediately burst into song and sometimes they act on it.

00:35:48.500 And we're seeing the Democrats just trying to turn everything into a song.

00:35:53.480 So when Representative Green was getting, whatever it was, cast, cast, what's the word?

00:36:01.040 He was getting censured by the Congress.

00:36:04.740 So the Democrats sang, we will overcome.

00:36:08.360 Okay.

00:36:09.320 Nice theater kid singing there.

00:36:12.860 And then, of course, there was the 22 senators who did exactly the same little douchebag video.

00:36:20.420 And then the Republicans just used it as humor.

00:36:23.900 You know you're doing everything wrong when your best play is considered humor by the other side.

00:36:35.160 When we turn on CNN to watch Scott Jennings, it's because it's funny.

00:36:41.720 Now, you can't lose harder than that if the other side watches you for the jokes.

00:36:48.080 That is such a game over situation.

00:36:53.860 I've never seen this situation where I literally, if I'm clicking through the news and I see Scott Jennings sitting there at a panel, oh, I stop.

00:37:05.140 I go, okay.

00:37:08.460 Well, I'll do five minutes of this. 1.00

00:37:11.120 And sure enough, he'll just be mocking these idiots. 1.00

00:37:17.160 And it's just hilarious that they can't put a glove on him. 1.00

00:37:21.840 And he just eviscerates them, in my opinion, of course.

00:37:25.600 If you're a Democrat, you probably think the opposite is happening.

00:37:28.440 But then there were a number of Democrat women in Congress, I guess, who created this video game dancing kind of attempt at a viral video where they would all look like they had just appeared, like they had just cloned as video game players. 1.00

00:37:49.880 And they would dance like they're ready to fight.

00:37:52.220 And it was so cringy, so, so cringy.

00:38:01.500 And that's what they have.

00:38:04.000 And then I saw also on that same panel that Scott Jennings was on, one of the panelists was saying, oh, but, you know, it worked because we've got all these eyeballs and we're talking about it on the news.

00:38:15.980 And even Abby Phillip, the host, who generally is, you know, pretty much in the tank for the Democrats, even she said, to what end?

00:38:28.160 To what end?

00:38:30.120 Like, what did you win?

00:38:32.720 And they were just like, well, attention, you know, we got followers and stuff.

00:38:36.720 And I'm thinking to myself, was that the lesson they got from Trump?

00:38:43.120 Did they think that the only thing Trump brought was he knew how to get attention?

00:38:49.480 That's what they got?

00:38:50.840 We need podcasts and we need attention and then we'll be fine.

00:38:55.920 That is so far from a deep analysis of anything that happened that it's hilarious.

00:39:03.540 That's like a seventh grade opinion of what's going on.

00:39:08.880 And you can't get worse than that.

00:39:12.600 Making cringe videos with no policy and no leadership and saying, yeah, but we got a lot of attention for our cringe videos.

00:39:20.020 So how about a little pat on the back for all the attention we got for being so lame?

00:39:24.240 Bill O'Reilly says that Trump is bringing the entire Democratic Party to the verge of collapse.

00:39:33.780 He thinks it might take 20 years, an entire generation, for Democrats to recover.

00:39:38.640 Same thing I'm saying.

00:39:41.280 But it's good to have somebody who's a longtime observer of politics say the same thing.

00:39:46.460 So I agree.

00:39:47.700 But here's a summary.

00:39:51.500 So on X, there's a user called Indian Bronson.

00:39:55.720 Now, this is back from February 5th, this comment.

00:39:59.500 But it's so perfect.

00:40:02.260 So listen to this.

00:40:03.620 What's happening in America is roughly equivalent to the yearbook committee and the theater kid types getting rocked by the football team and chess club alliance.

00:40:13.780 Now, you have to think about this for a minute.

00:40:15.700 The Republicans here are a combination of the chess club, that's Doge, and a football team.

00:40:24.460 Yes, they're absolutely a combination of a football team plus a chess club.

00:40:30.380 Now, I would say that maybe it was only a football team in the past.

00:40:33.860 But once you add, you know, you're David Sachs and you're, you know, you're Scott Bessant and you're, you know, Lutnick, what's his name?

00:40:42.800 And you're, you know, I could go on.

00:40:46.240 But, you know, the old Doge stuff, Elon Musk, you've got the chess club now.

00:40:51.260 So you've got the football team plus the chess club.

00:40:54.160 And they're up against the yearbook committee, which is the people who couldn't, who weren't good at anything.

00:40:59.740 They weren't good at anything, so they got on the yearbook committee.

00:41:02.320 And the theater kids, that's so perfect.

00:41:09.080 That captures it perfectly.

00:41:10.500 Meanwhile, New York Times is reporting that Act Blue, that is allegedly a group which collects small donations for Democrats, is in turmoil, they say.

00:41:23.900 So apparently, without explanation, seven top executives of Act Blue have left in the past three weeks.

00:41:31.420 And several of them have been there for more than a decade.

00:41:34.580 And none of them will say why they're leaving.

00:41:37.860 Huh.

00:41:38.880 That's interesting.

00:41:40.540 Several top executives leaving around the same time, and none of them want to say why.

00:41:45.340 They're not even willing to say, well, you know, it's just I'm that age, or it's time to move on, or I've got a better opportunity.

00:41:51.680 Just nothing.

00:41:55.260 And according to the New York Times, the last remaining lawyer at Act Blue's general counsel's office has been locked out of his email and put on leave after sending internal messages that we have whistleblower policies.

00:42:09.700 For a reason, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, there's a whistleblower.

00:42:15.240 Oh, there's fun coming now.

00:42:20.160 Some fun coming.

00:42:23.160 So, more than $16 billion has passed through Act Blue in the last 20 years.

00:42:28.480 Um, Scott, do you think that Act Blue can account for their spending?

00:42:34.760 Close my eyes?

00:42:36.240 Look deeply into my own mind?

00:42:39.380 No.

00:42:40.200 They cannot account for it.

00:42:42.500 Now, I don't know that true.

00:42:44.100 I don't know if that's true.

00:42:45.740 But anybody want to bet against me?

00:42:48.100 Does anyone want to bet that they have perfect records of their $16 billion expenses and we know where it all went?

00:42:55.680 Or do you think maybe, huh, we didn't really track it?

00:43:00.680 What do you think?

00:43:01.540 Yeah, it does seem like everything Democrats are involved in at an organizational level is doing a little bit of good stuff and maybe a lot more of something else.

00:43:15.900 At least it looks like it.

00:43:17.820 Allegedly.

00:43:19.600 Allegedly.

00:43:20.160 Well, there's a report that Harvard grads are having trouble getting jobs compared to the past.

00:43:28.280 And 25%, according to Unusual Whales on Acts, 25% of Harvard graduates from last spring are still job hunting.

00:43:37.840 So, that's up from 20% a year earlier and 10% in 2022, per the Wall Street Journal.

00:43:46.340 And here's what I wonder.

00:43:48.360 What do you think's behind that?

00:43:50.160 Do you think that Harvard graduates are just not considered necessary?

00:43:57.040 You know, it used to be everybody who could get one would get one.

00:44:01.500 Could it be that all of the DEI stuff has made people look at college graduates and say,

00:44:09.060 I'm not so sure I know why you got into Harvard.

00:44:13.960 What is missing from the story is the demographic groups that are still looking for jobs.

00:44:20.160 It does make me wonder if the DEI thing has now backfired such that if you were any member of a, you know, so-called disadvantaged group and you had a Harvard degree and you walk into the office for a job,

00:44:37.440 what does the person interviewing you think?

00:44:40.320 Do they think you, you did everything that everybody else did and you earned your Harvard degree?

00:44:47.320 Or do they think, hmm, sounds like you went in through the DEI side door and maybe it's a little bit risky to bring you on.

00:44:56.600 How many of them show up looking like activists and looking like they're DEI activists and looking like maybe their social media gave away a little bit too much about their opinions?

00:45:10.320 How many of them do you think got turned down because of something they said on social media?

00:45:15.360 But it's not zero.

00:45:16.420 So, that's a sign of the times.

00:45:21.820 Meanwhile, according to the Western Journal, Ben Zizloft, Trump's agricultural secretary, Brooke Rollins, is suggesting that maybe Americans raise their own chickens to help deal with the soaring price of eggs.

00:45:37.040 I would like to weigh in on the other side of that recommendation.

00:45:42.140 I do think there are some situations and maybe some states and some rural areas and some families that owning chickens would be awesome.

00:45:55.100 So, I don't rule it out.

00:45:58.040 But do you know what would happen if you tried to raise chickens in California?

00:46:01.680 I have a friend who got some pet chickens because she was allergic to, you know, cats and dogs.

00:46:10.220 So, somebody gave her a little chicken. 0.67

00:46:14.660 And she loved that chicken.

00:46:16.780 You know, used it like a pet.

00:46:19.740 And then someday, one day, she got a little extra, what do you call it, little chick.

00:46:25.780 And it turned out to be a rooster.

00:46:27.220 Now, you say to yourself, no, no big deal.

00:46:31.080 They're just pets.

00:46:32.500 Chicken, rooster.

00:46:34.220 Do you know what happens if you have a rooster?

00:46:36.780 Your neighbors don't like that at all.

00:46:39.280 It was a suburban neighborhood. 0.98

00:46:41.780 And the freaking rooster would just wake up everybody at, you know, the crack of dawn. 0.98

00:46:47.040 And it's illegal. 0.98

00:46:48.520 So, you couldn't really have chickens in your backyard, at least where she lived. 0.98

00:46:53.920 And the rooster gave away the whole situation, even though they were just pets.

00:46:58.560 It wasn't like she had a chicken farm or anything.

00:47:01.640 But as soon as the rooster entered the mix, it was illegal to kill it.

00:47:08.460 There is no place in the world you can give it away to.

00:47:11.520 There's no farm that will take it.

00:47:13.660 Nobody wants a rooster.

00:47:15.160 They are simply non-egg-laying things that scream at you.

00:47:21.800 And so, you can't kill it, can't give it away, and you can't keep it.

00:47:26.340 It ruins your life.

00:47:28.280 It was an absolute devastating situation because, in this case, they were pets.

00:47:34.060 So, she couldn't do the ultimate solution, if you know what I mean.

00:47:37.900 So, be very careful what local laws are going on.

00:47:45.760 And I definitely wouldn't have chickens if they're right on the other side of the fence from your neighbors.

00:47:51.060 If you've got a lot of land, you know, maybe you already have a farm, chickens could be great.

00:47:58.000 But here's a small point that you wouldn't guess about me.

00:48:04.660 I've once worked with chicken farming.

00:48:09.800 My uncle had a dairy farm, but for a time, he also had chickens.

00:48:14.620 And I remember one of my jobs there would be to feed the chickens.

00:48:18.400 And I feel like, I may have a false memory about this.

00:48:22.680 I'm going to ask my brother later.

00:48:24.960 But I think it was also my job to steal their eggs.

00:48:30.140 But I might have a false memory about that.

00:48:33.840 All I remember is that the chickens seemed very angry whenever I showed up.

00:48:38.420 If you've never seen chickens close in on you when you walk in,

00:48:44.100 because maybe they think they're getting food or maybe they're angry,

00:48:46.680 they are the scariest mofos. 1.00

00:48:49.720 You walk into a room that's just full of chickens, 0.79

00:48:53.380 and they start walking at you with their little heads going like this.

00:48:58.840 And they make that noise.

00:49:01.940 And they start to surround you.

00:49:03.780 And you're like, what are you guys doing?

00:49:05.940 No, no, I come in peace.

00:49:09.700 And they just start getting closer.

00:49:11.900 Oh, it's scary.

00:49:13.260 Chickens are scary.

00:49:14.040 I lived.

00:49:17.660 Anyway, be careful about raising your own chickens.

00:49:21.400 In interesting news, according to Leah Schaefer, who's writing,

00:49:28.220 Wash U, whatever that is,

00:49:30.620 researchers in Chakrabarty Lab have created a bird flu sensor.

00:49:37.320 So it seems to work.

00:49:40.040 It's not quite fully commercialized.

00:49:42.540 But it can detect in the air the bird flu, the avian influenza.

00:49:51.540 So that's a big deal.

00:49:53.360 Because the current technology,

00:49:55.080 it could take you 10 hours to find out if there's a chicken with bird flu.

00:50:00.640 I think you send it to a lab and you can get an answer the same day,

00:50:04.140 but it's 10 hours later, which is too late.

00:50:07.440 Because if you allow 10 extra hours of bird flu flying around your bird operation,

00:50:13.240 you're not going to have much left.

00:50:14.600 If you can get it in five minutes, the first five minutes,

00:50:18.820 then you can take immediate actions and maybe cut off the problems.

00:50:23.440 So this could be an immensely useful thing.

00:50:28.520 But also it suggests maybe a whole bunch of other airborne detection things.

00:50:34.600 Would it have worked with COVID?

00:50:36.780 I don't know.

00:50:37.940 Would it have worked with some other deadly pathogens?

00:50:42.680 I don't know.

00:50:43.640 But it certainly seems like there's a possibility.

00:50:45.380 Also researchers that, let's see,

00:50:54.360 I guess researchers have found there's a naturally occurring molecule

00:50:58.380 that does something similar to Ozembek, the weight loss drug,

00:51:03.740 but without the side effects.

00:51:06.180 So Krista Conger and Stanford Medicine is writing about this.

00:51:09.260 And if that's true, that would be great.

00:51:15.840 Because if we could get more people on either Ozembek 0.99

00:51:19.100 or the natural version of it that doesn't have the side effects,

00:51:23.440 we would need fewer eggs.

00:51:26.520 Yeah.

00:51:27.600 If we get people slimming down and less hungry,

00:51:31.620 we don't need as many eggs.

00:51:33.220 Anyway, Trump signed the executive order creating the strategic Bitcoin reserve.

00:51:40.980 We knew that was happening.

00:51:44.000 And you know what I say about crypto?

00:51:48.440 Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

00:51:51.040 Yeah.

00:51:51.640 So crypto, I only think of it as a diversification play.

00:51:55.540 So the government's diversifying.

00:51:59.460 And that makes perfect sense.

00:52:01.100 I do think there's a non-zero chance that the value of the U.S. dollar

00:52:06.720 will just deflate to nothing over time.

00:52:10.740 And the crypto will just keep climbing.

00:52:13.580 So it could be.

00:52:15.240 We might look back at this as the thing that saved America.

00:52:19.500 At the moment, it seems technical.

00:52:21.980 And it seems sort of a little niche thing.

00:52:24.140 And it's hard to appreciate the importance of it.

00:52:27.900 But it's that important.

00:52:29.200 We could look back in 15 years and say,

00:52:34.000 if we had not created this stockpile of strategic coins,

00:52:39.080 presumably we would add to it between now and some other time,

00:52:43.460 we wouldn't survive.

00:52:46.420 So this actually goes directly to survival as a country.

00:52:51.620 It could be a big, big deal.

00:52:53.140 Meanwhile, did you know that Starlink is not approved in South Africa?

00:52:59.380 And the reason is because Elon Musk is not black. 0.99

00:53:02.960 And apparently the law there says that they don't want to do business 0.93

00:53:06.380 unless you have 30% black ownership.

00:53:10.020 So since that's not really practical for Starlink,

00:53:14.240 they don't get to have good internet.

00:53:18.100 So, oh my goodness.

00:53:20.320 And according to, I guess, Dave Rubin had a guest,

00:53:24.080 Robert Herzog on, talking about South Africa.

00:53:27.380 And the guest said that there are now 140 race-based laws in South Africa

00:53:33.840 that are all anti-white.

00:53:36.800 140 separate anti-white laws in South Africa.

00:53:42.400 Now, what do you think about that?

00:53:50.020 You know, obviously I won't be visiting.

00:53:52.160 If you're wondering where my next vacation will be,

00:53:55.980 probably not in South Africa.

00:53:57.580 Probably not.

00:53:58.740 But why does the United States put up with that?

00:54:03.160 I think Trump has, you know,

00:54:06.420 he's rattled the cage a little bit over there.

00:54:08.880 We'll see where that goes.

00:54:10.540 But I'm not even sure we should have relationships

00:54:13.460 with any country that does this sort of thing.

00:54:17.240 So in the short run,

00:54:19.080 obviously we'd be better off if we could get them

00:54:21.720 to modify their behavior

00:54:23.900 to be part of the international order of things.

00:54:28.300 But what if they don't?

00:54:31.120 Like, how long do you put up with it?

00:54:33.800 I think we should be certainly threatening

00:54:36.780 to withdraw completely,

00:54:39.900 you know, any kind of interaction whatsoever,

00:54:42.600 as in just completely ignore them as a country.

00:54:46.880 I wouldn't trade with them.

00:54:48.100 Wouldn't do anything with them.

00:54:50.800 Because why would we support that?

00:54:53.640 So we're going to need some strong actions there.

00:55:00.140 And we're going to need it soon.

00:55:03.240 Well, the New York Times allegedly interviewed

00:55:06.160 a bunch of Mexican drug lords.

00:55:08.260 Do you believe that? 0.74

00:55:10.120 Do you believe that the New York Times,

00:55:12.020 just because they wanted to,

00:55:14.100 could get a bunch of Mexican drug lords 0.98

00:55:16.080 to sit down for an interview? 1.00

00:55:17.260 Are these the dumbest ones? 1.00

00:55:21.000 Did they only talk to the dumb ones? 1.00

00:55:24.000 Let me tell you what I would do 1.00

00:55:25.440 if I were a cartel member

00:55:28.140 who allegedly is,

00:55:29.480 they're all afraid of Trump now.

00:55:31.220 If I were afraid of being detected,

00:55:34.700 I certainly would not agree to an interview

00:55:37.280 with anybody in the press.

00:55:38.860 I would just assume,

00:55:41.660 just assume that the,

00:55:43.400 you know,

00:55:44.440 the authorities are watching this process

00:55:47.180 and figuring out who you are

00:55:49.680 based on maybe what you did with the media.

00:55:53.560 So,

00:55:54.340 I'm not entirely sure I believe this story.

00:55:57.840 But,

00:55:59.020 allegedly,

00:56:00.680 these,

00:56:01.080 these drug lords are saying

00:56:04.080 that they're all afraid

00:56:05.060 and they're,

00:56:05.640 they're literally shaking in fear

00:56:07.340 and they,

00:56:08.840 they're afraid to go to sleep

00:56:10.760 because they're,

00:56:11.400 they might blow up

00:56:12.380 and they're shutting down their labs.

00:56:15.780 I don't know.

00:56:17.060 To me,

00:56:17.760 that sounds like fake news.

00:56:20.320 It's a,

00:56:20.960 it's a little too on the nose.

00:56:22.740 Oh yeah,

00:56:23.520 now,

00:56:24.200 now all these murderous

00:56:25.620 people who have been in,

00:56:27.380 you know,

00:56:27.660 violent situations forever.

00:56:30.160 Suddenly,

00:56:30.780 this is what scares them.

00:56:32.740 This.

00:56:34.800 They live in a permanently

00:56:36.660 super dangerous,

00:56:39.240 lethal environment

00:56:40.600 all the time.

00:56:42.300 But this is what scares them,

00:56:44.520 according to the New York Times.

00:56:46.680 I don't know.

00:56:49.240 It has that feeling

00:56:50.520 like,

00:56:52.080 maybe we want to pretend

00:56:55.480 that we're making

00:56:56.180 a big difference,

00:56:57.400 but maybe we're not making

00:56:59.160 that big of a difference.

00:57:00.940 Wouldn't it be useful

00:57:01.920 for the cartels

00:57:03.420 to suggest

00:57:04.660 that they're quaking in fear

00:57:06.160 and closing down their labs

00:57:07.740 if in fact they were not?

00:57:10.420 Because the story

00:57:11.500 the cartels

00:57:12.120 wouldn't want to get out is,

00:57:14.100 oh yeah,

00:57:14.340 it's making no difference

00:57:15.240 to our operation so far

00:57:16.560 and we're not especially afraid

00:57:18.720 because,

00:57:19.260 you know,

00:57:19.560 we're basically brave. 0.98

00:57:20.820 We kill people for a living.

00:57:21.980 doesn't it feel like 0.93

00:57:25.260 it's a little too helpful

00:57:26.860 to the cartels

00:57:29.000 to put down a story

00:57:30.720 that's,

00:57:31.260 oh,

00:57:31.400 we're running for the hills,

00:57:32.720 we're closing down things?

00:57:34.280 Because if Trump can claim

00:57:36.560 that it's already working

00:57:37.720 the way it is,

00:57:39.360 does he need to send in

00:57:40.600 special forces?

00:57:43.240 Think about it.

00:57:44.280 if the United States

00:57:47.820 was on the verge

00:57:48.740 of sending actual military

00:57:50.460 on the ground

00:57:51.340 or even just using the drones

00:57:53.800 to take out more stuff,

00:57:55.880 wouldn't the best way

00:57:58.320 to stop it

00:57:59.160 be to say that

00:58:01.120 what you're doing already

00:58:02.160 is working fine?

00:58:03.500 You don't need to do more.

00:58:06.500 So I'm going to say fake news.

00:58:08.760 To me,

00:58:09.480 this doesn't smell right.

00:58:11.620 I don't think that

00:58:12.800 the New York Times

00:58:13.600 could get any kind

00:58:15.060 of a useful sample

00:58:16.680 of cartel leaders

00:58:18.020 to talk to them.

00:58:19.180 I just don't think

00:58:19.960 that's real.

00:58:20.860 And it does seem

00:58:21.940 a little too perfectly

00:58:23.680 on the nose

00:58:25.460 that,

00:58:26.500 oh,

00:58:26.620 the things you're doing

00:58:27.480 so far

00:58:28.080 are totally making

00:58:29.180 a difference.

00:58:31.140 They might be.

00:58:32.560 I hope they are.

00:58:34.780 But,

00:58:35.540 you know,

00:58:36.120 the timing of it

00:58:37.020 when we're just

00:58:37.740 on the verge

00:58:38.320 of sending

00:58:38.740 an actual military

00:58:39.860 in there

00:58:40.300 to take care

00:58:40.840 of business

00:58:41.400 kind of feels

00:58:42.940 like it's,

00:58:43.780 hey,

00:58:44.160 hey,

00:58:44.340 it's working.

00:58:44.960 You don't need

00:58:45.340 to do that.

00:58:48.720 Just a speculation.

00:58:51.120 Meanwhile,

00:58:51.760 over in Denmark,

00:58:53.020 the Danish

00:58:54.460 prime minister

00:58:55.380 says that

00:58:57.020 peace in Ukraine

00:58:57.760 is more dangerous

00:58:58.660 than the ongoing war.

00:59:00.940 Because if you make

00:59:01.880 peace in Ukraine,

00:59:02.740 that means that

00:59:04.540 Putin won.

00:59:07.120 And then he'll

00:59:08.300 be emboldened

00:59:09.000 and he'll just

00:59:09.920 start attacking

00:59:10.620 other countries

00:59:11.400 because that's

00:59:12.100 what he does.

00:59:13.660 But wouldn't

00:59:14.760 that mean that

00:59:15.540 the only thing

00:59:16.460 that Denmark

00:59:16.900 is in favor of

00:59:17.800 is perpetual war?

00:59:19.900 Because where's

00:59:21.040 the part where

00:59:21.600 Ukraine wins?

00:59:23.640 Nobody even

00:59:24.540 talks about that.

00:59:25.860 That's not an option.

00:59:27.360 So if Ukraine 0.58

00:59:28.160 can't win

00:59:28.860 and you don't

00:59:30.820 want peace

00:59:31.400 because it's

00:59:31.920 more dangerous

00:59:32.520 than war,

00:59:33.920 aren't you

00:59:34.440 signing up

00:59:35.060 for forever war? 0.93

00:59:37.280 What the hell

00:59:37.880 kind of leadership 0.93

00:59:38.520 is that?

00:59:40.000 Try something

00:59:41.060 different

00:59:41.600 because we know

00:59:42.840 that's not working.

00:59:44.380 Anyway,

00:59:45.540 Denmark,

00:59:46.780 you barely

00:59:48.360 deserve Greenland.

00:59:50.280 All right,

00:59:50.860 that's what I got

00:59:51.380 for you today.

00:59:53.120 And thanks

00:59:54.420 for joining

00:59:54.840 everybody.

00:59:56.080 Always appreciate it.

00:59:58.080 Hope you're

00:59:58.780 getting ready

00:59:59.160 for an amazing,

01:00:00.860 amazing

01:00:01.480 weekend.

01:00:03.300 I'm just going

01:00:03.840 to tell you

01:00:04.140 one story

01:00:04.720 that I told

01:00:05.720 the local

01:00:06.720 subscribers

01:00:07.300 just before

01:00:07.960 we got on.

01:00:09.980 Or did I

01:00:10.800 tell you

01:00:11.260 sometimes?

01:00:12.340 I forget.

01:00:13.960 I use

01:00:14.680 ChatGPT

01:00:15.720 in its

01:00:16.500 sort of

01:00:17.540 video mode

01:00:18.200 where you

01:00:18.500 can show

01:00:18.920 stuff in

01:00:19.460 your environment.

01:00:21.100 And I was

01:00:21.920 trying to

01:00:22.220 hook up

01:00:22.580 a subwoofer

01:00:23.620 to my

01:00:25.020 existing

01:00:25.840 turntable

01:00:26.480 and amp.

01:00:27.560 Now,

01:00:27.980 I thought

01:00:28.320 that'd be

01:00:28.620 easy.

01:00:29.760 I thought,

01:00:30.620 well,

01:00:31.240 there's a

01:00:31.920 hole that

01:00:32.400 says

01:00:32.800 subwoofer

01:00:33.560 and I

01:00:33.840 got a

01:00:34.100 cable

01:00:34.380 that fits

01:00:34.820 into it

01:00:35.280 and there's

01:00:36.380 sort of

01:00:36.860 only one

01:00:37.300 obvious place

01:00:38.000 you'd stick

01:00:38.740 it in the

01:00:40.020 subwoofer.

01:00:41.100 So how hard

01:00:41.800 could it be?

01:00:42.540 But it turns

01:00:42.980 out there

01:00:43.340 were,

01:00:43.760 I don't know,

01:00:44.820 maybe seven

01:00:45.680 exotic audio

01:00:46.980 settings in

01:00:48.100 the amp

01:00:50.520 that you wouldn't

01:00:51.360 even know how

01:00:51.900 to find them.

01:00:52.860 Like,

01:00:53.300 you wouldn't

01:00:53.540 know some

01:00:54.440 are under

01:00:54.760 speaker,

01:00:55.660 some are

01:00:56.020 under audio.

01:00:58.140 And most

01:00:59.520 of them are

01:00:59.920 words you've

01:01:00.420 never heard

01:01:00.800 in your

01:01:01.080 life.

01:01:02.300 But I

01:01:02.980 actually used

01:01:03.620 ChatGPT and

01:01:04.760 it told me

01:01:05.340 the exact

01:01:06.120 menu structure

01:01:07.520 on my own

01:01:09.420 remote.

01:01:09.940 I would just

01:01:10.220 shout out the

01:01:10.600 remote and

01:01:11.680 say, oh,

01:01:12.000 yeah,

01:01:12.160 there's that

01:01:12.580 button on

01:01:13.020 the bottom

01:01:13.340 right.

01:01:14.140 You push

01:01:14.500 that,

01:01:14.940 make sure

01:01:15.280 that the

01:01:15.860 pure button

01:01:17.500 is not

01:01:17.940 selected.

01:01:18.980 I'm like,

01:01:19.340 wow.

01:01:20.080 And then it

01:01:20.800 walked me

01:01:21.280 through all

01:01:21.920 of the

01:01:22.200 menus so

01:01:24.040 that one

01:01:24.380 after another,

01:01:25.160 even without

01:01:25.740 understanding fully,

01:01:27.140 what any of

01:01:28.300 those things

01:01:28.740 did,

01:01:29.100 although it

01:01:29.480 would tell

01:01:29.780 me.

01:01:30.440 I'd say,

01:01:31.040 what is

01:01:31.320 this?

01:01:31.940 And it'd

01:01:32.340 say,

01:01:32.520 well,

01:01:32.700 that's used

01:01:33.300 for this

01:01:33.700 or that.

01:01:34.620 And then

01:01:34.940 I'd say,

01:01:35.500 do I want

01:01:36.380 to use

01:01:36.960 this?

01:01:37.880 And it

01:01:38.100 would say,

01:01:38.440 well,

01:01:39.080 you could

01:01:39.640 use that,

01:01:40.380 but this

01:01:40.860 other setting

01:01:41.560 might be

01:01:41.980 more ideal

01:01:42.620 under these

01:01:43.160 situations.

01:01:44.260 And I'd

01:01:44.600 be like,

01:01:44.980 really?

01:01:45.380 I'm learning

01:01:45.900 all kinds

01:01:46.340 of stuff.

01:01:47.180 So I

01:01:47.520 managed to

01:01:48.340 teach myself

01:01:50.940 a whole

01:01:52.040 bunch about

01:01:52.720 audio

01:01:53.520 technology.

01:01:54.860 At the

01:01:55.500 same time,

01:01:56.160 I was

01:01:56.620 solving a

01:01:57.140 problem,

01:01:58.280 like a

01:01:58.680 real-life

01:01:59.100 problem.

01:01:59.860 And I

01:02:00.220 thought to

01:02:00.520 myself,

01:02:01.540 man,

01:02:01.840 you can't

01:02:02.240 beat that.

01:02:03.440 You cannot

01:02:04.100 beat working

01:02:05.620 on a real

01:02:06.300 world problem

01:02:07.300 that has

01:02:09.020 salience to

01:02:10.000 you and

01:02:11.060 being able

01:02:11.500 to ask

01:02:11.860 questions as

01:02:12.580 you go.

01:02:13.300 It was

01:02:14.200 just a

01:02:15.100 very satisfying

01:02:16.000 experience and

01:02:16.880 fully worked.

01:02:18.260 So in the

01:02:19.300 end, it

01:02:19.620 works and

01:02:20.240 everything

01:02:20.720 sounds great.

01:02:21.420 And I

01:02:22.260 was thinking

01:02:22.540 about that

01:02:23.060 for speaking

01:02:25.220 of Harvard.

01:02:26.460 Harvard was

01:02:27.700 always famous

01:02:28.260 at their

01:02:28.500 business school

01:02:29.100 for having

01:02:29.780 a sort

01:02:30.660 of a case

01:02:31.240 study approach

01:02:32.200 where instead

01:02:33.660 of giving you

01:02:34.380 a lesson and

01:02:35.600 you trying to

01:02:36.740 hold it,

01:02:37.940 they would

01:02:38.320 give you a

01:02:38.780 situation.

01:02:39.760 All right,

01:02:40.160 there's a

01:02:40.520 company and

01:02:41.520 the company

01:02:41.900 has this

01:02:42.320 problem and

01:02:42.920 these assets

01:02:43.580 and this

01:02:44.000 is what's

01:02:44.640 going on.

01:02:45.500 Get together

01:02:46.020 with your

01:02:46.480 small group

01:02:47.280 and figure out

01:02:48.280 how you would

01:02:48.760 attack this.

01:02:49.620 And then

01:02:49.860 they sort

01:02:50.700 of have to

01:02:51.100 teach themselves

01:02:52.100 each of the

01:02:53.700 things that

01:02:54.100 you would need

01:02:54.460 to know to

01:02:54.960 understand the

01:02:55.580 situation and

01:02:56.300 solve it.

01:02:57.180 And by the

01:02:57.600 time you're

01:02:57.940 done, boy,

01:02:58.660 did you

01:02:58.900 understand it.

01:03:00.880 In my

01:03:01.440 tiny little

01:03:02.280 college I

01:03:03.620 went to in

01:03:04.040 upstate New

01:03:04.560 York, Hartwick

01:03:05.380 College, they

01:03:07.960 were also

01:03:08.340 famous for

01:03:09.560 letting you

01:03:10.020 design your

01:03:10.700 own course.

01:03:12.540 You had to

01:03:12.900 be approved,

01:03:13.500 of course, and

01:03:13.980 you'd have to

01:03:14.320 have a

01:03:14.860 professor who

01:03:16.300 was sponsoring

01:03:18.120 it.

01:03:18.760 So one

01:03:19.860 day we

01:03:20.180 had this

01:03:20.660 on a

01:03:22.600 campus store.

01:03:24.360 It was like

01:03:24.760 a coffee

01:03:25.400 shop where

01:03:25.980 there was

01:03:26.800 entertainment

01:03:27.280 and stuff.

01:03:28.880 And so I

01:03:33.740 was involved

01:03:34.600 in that and

01:03:36.100 it didn't

01:03:36.860 have an

01:03:37.200 accounting

01:03:37.560 system.

01:03:38.860 So it

01:03:39.320 must have

01:03:39.600 been a

01:03:39.800 bunch of

01:03:40.080 Democrats

01:03:40.520 running it

01:03:41.000 before I

01:03:41.420 got there.

01:03:42.340 There was

01:03:42.840 no accounting

01:03:43.400 for any of

01:03:43.900 the money

01:03:44.140 that went

01:03:44.500 through it

01:03:44.920 for years.

01:03:45.900 So for

01:03:46.300 over 20

01:03:46.900 years, I

01:03:47.380 think,

01:03:47.620 money had

01:03:48.580 been flowing

01:03:49.080 from the

01:03:49.760 college to

01:03:51.960 subsidize this

01:03:52.960 on-store

01:03:53.520 campus, or

01:03:54.500 on-store,

01:03:55.880 this on-campus

01:03:57.600 coffee shop,

01:03:59.840 which also had

01:04:00.580 beer.

01:04:02.260 And so I

01:04:02.940 became a

01:04:03.600 volunteer there

01:04:05.400 and I

01:04:05.780 volunteered to

01:04:06.720 be the

01:04:07.560 finance guy.

01:04:08.660 And there

01:04:09.200 was no

01:04:09.560 finance

01:04:10.020 anything.

01:04:10.460 There was

01:04:10.640 no accounting.

01:04:11.580 There was

01:04:11.780 no nothing.

01:04:12.200 So I

01:04:13.360 went to my

01:04:13.980 accounting

01:04:14.500 professor and

01:04:15.160 I said,

01:04:15.500 hey, I

01:04:16.060 got an

01:04:16.340 idea.

01:04:17.340 How about

01:04:17.760 if I

01:04:18.160 design an

01:04:18.900 accounting

01:04:19.280 system from

01:04:20.140 scratch for

01:04:21.600 this business

01:04:22.360 on campus and

01:04:24.360 you give me

01:04:25.180 accounting credit

01:04:26.280 for it?

01:04:27.380 And my

01:04:27.800 accounting

01:04:28.160 professor said,

01:04:29.100 great idea.

01:04:30.740 And so for

01:04:32.220 one semester,

01:04:33.400 I designed and

01:04:35.280 operated and,

01:04:36.740 you know,

01:04:37.020 filled out all

01:04:37.780 the accounting

01:04:38.580 so that we,

01:04:39.660 for the first

01:04:40.120 time, we

01:04:41.240 knew where

01:04:41.560 the money

01:04:41.920 was going

01:04:42.440 and what

01:04:43.040 was happening

01:04:43.480 with it.

01:04:44.620 And I

01:04:45.180 got an A.

01:04:46.580 And I

01:04:47.260 got to tell

01:04:47.680 you that

01:04:48.500 accounting is

01:04:49.280 the most

01:04:49.560 boring thing

01:04:51.280 you could

01:04:51.600 ever do.

01:04:52.560 But when

01:04:53.140 you're doing

01:04:53.600 it to

01:04:53.900 implement it

01:04:54.500 to a real

01:04:54.960 business and

01:04:55.960 you have to

01:04:56.380 learn it as

01:04:57.080 you go,

01:04:57.480 it's like,

01:04:57.780 okay, what

01:04:58.180 is this?

01:04:59.040 Like, what

01:04:59.460 is articulation?

01:05:01.040 What does

01:05:01.440 that mean?

01:05:01.940 And why is

01:05:02.800 there a balance

01:05:03.420 sheet and an

01:05:04.260 income statement?

01:05:05.340 Like, how do

01:05:05.900 they go?

01:05:06.480 And then once

01:05:07.220 you do it in

01:05:07.660 the real world,

01:05:09.140 it just

01:05:09.560 becomes,

01:05:10.120 locked in.

01:05:11.700 Like, you

01:05:12.400 understand

01:05:13.040 accounting from

01:05:14.340 that point on

01:05:15.000 and it never

01:05:15.760 goes away.

01:05:16.780 So, that's

01:05:17.920 what AI can

01:05:18.720 do for you.

01:05:20.060 Man, I wish

01:05:20.760 I had AI back

01:05:21.500 then.

01:05:22.260 If you just

01:05:22.940 have this

01:05:23.320 little advisor

01:05:24.420 that says,

01:05:25.660 all right,

01:05:25.940 here's a domain

01:05:26.740 in which you've

01:05:27.380 never been in

01:05:28.040 and I'm going

01:05:28.960 to walk you

01:05:29.380 through it.

01:05:30.000 Here's what

01:05:30.420 matters.

01:05:30.960 Here's the

01:05:31.280 definition of

01:05:31.900 those words.

01:05:32.560 Here's what

01:05:32.880 you can ignore.

01:05:33.680 Here's what

01:05:33.960 you have to

01:05:34.280 focus on.

01:05:35.460 Oh, my

01:05:36.120 God.

01:05:37.340 The things

01:05:37.860 you could

01:05:38.200 learn and how

01:05:38.960 quickly you

01:05:39.560 could learn

01:05:39.940 them and

01:05:40.320 how sticky

01:05:41.420 it would

01:05:41.780 be if it

01:05:42.800 was a real

01:05:43.240 life experience

01:05:43.980 with a real

01:05:44.580 problem.

01:05:45.660 So, that's

01:05:46.180 coming.

01:05:46.920 Very exciting.

01:05:48.160 All right.

01:05:48.740 Locals, I'm

01:05:49.300 going to come

01:05:49.580 talk to you

01:05:50.120 privately.

01:05:51.380 The rest of

01:05:51.920 you, I'll

01:05:52.440 see you

01:05:52.860 tomorrow.

01:05:53.360 every day.

01:05:56.400 Every day, same

01:05:57.380 time, same

01:05:57.820 place.

01:05:58.880 Bye.
