Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2810 CWSA 04⧸15⧸25

00:00:00.000 chaos is good for stock markets because stocks are up again today not bad let's check out our

00:00:09.360 comments and then we can do a show that you deserve good morning everybody and welcome to the

00:00:31.120 highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better

00:00:36.960 time but if you'd like to try to take your experience up to levels and nobody can even understand with

00:00:43.160 their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that would be a cover a mug or a glass a tank or 1.00

00:00:48.720 chalice a stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like

00:00:54.420 coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day the thing

00:00:59.680 that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now go

00:01:06.960 well according to the uh according to the uh university of amsterdam conservative americans

00:01:25.760 consistently distrust science as survey finds now do you think there's something wrong with this

00:01:34.100 analysis the the assumption is that you should trust science should you should you trust science

00:01:42.780 when half of the peer-reviewed papers don't pan out and uh healthcare science looks like it's

00:01:49.700 completely made up and vaccinations are just barely tested in any way that you would recognize

00:01:56.520 what what did i hear the other day uh i think i heard that in some kind of drug testing they do a

00:02:05.100 a pre-trial and then the people who are uh at bad side effects in the pre-trial they remove them

00:02:14.040 and then they go on with the trial so they basically remove the people who had problems

00:02:19.760 and then they do the trial so it's completely fake and apparently that's a standard procedure to remove

00:02:28.040 the people who had problems and then start the start the trial after that no i think uh conservatives are

00:02:35.020 right science is sketchy i think uh climate models are weird i think that uh yeah plenty of reasons to

00:02:44.280 that was science but here's some science uh according to neuroscience news they figured out how to

00:02:53.120 change lsd to take out the good parts you know the part where you have hallucinations and uh and then

00:03:02.100 they give it to schizophrenic schizophrenics and apparently helps that's the early word so if you'd like to

00:03:11.760 be healthy schizophrenic all you need is some special lsd with a couple of molecules taken out

00:03:17.360 i don't know where you get it but that's according to neuroscience news do you believe that one

00:03:23.280 do you do you conservatives uh trust that they've modified lsd to fix schizophrenics 0.93

00:03:33.920 what are the odds you'll ever see that you know it's like a standard treatment i feel like every

00:03:42.680 time i read any kind of science news during the show my first thought is we're never going to see

00:03:49.600 that the every single day i see new study were not a study but an announcement where somebody's made a

00:03:57.620 battery breakthrough a great battery breakthrough we can charge it in 10 seconds and it lasts a thousand

00:04:04.140 miles we're never going to see that all of these announcements are made up i think i mean they're

00:04:11.980 based on something but i don't think any of that's going to turn into anything you care about

00:04:17.500 well let's see how smart you are according to rasmussen um what percentage of voters disagree with having id to vote

00:04:32.380 what percent of voters disagree with being able to prove you're a citizen with id before you vote

00:04:40.940 you are correct yeah it's 26 but if you guess 25 well you're brilliant i have the smartest audience in

00:04:52.060 the entire world yep 64 believe congress should enact the law requiring proof of citizenship in order to

00:04:59.980 register to vote but 26 disagree 26 if you're new to the show um it's sort of a running gag that no

00:05:10.860 matter what the survey is no matter what the topic is 25 of the people who answer the survey will be

00:05:17.900 just whack they'll just have the wrong answer not having id to vote that's just the wrong answer

00:05:27.980 that's not an opinion that's just wrong you're just wrong all right um so it turns out that dolphins can

00:05:38.140 talk so somebody's using ai to decipher dolphin talk and i guess the idea is that uh you we'd eventually

00:05:48.220 be able to have a conversation with dolphins and uh i for one can't get enough of that because what if

00:05:57.500 dolphins are really good conversationalists that'd be weird wouldn't it it's like not only do they talk

00:06:04.700 but they'd be like hello mr edams how's your day today you'd be like man you're a good conversationalist

00:06:13.260 that'd be so cool and so i want to get a talking dolphin uh and i just i think i just put some ai on

00:06:20.540 it and next thing you know boom talking

00:06:26.620 so that would be the first conversation they say between humans and another intelligent species

00:06:31.900 i don't know i've been talking to my dog for a long time but she doesn't talk back

00:06:38.460 so this happened the other day but uh remember when trump was with bukele at the white house and

00:06:47.100 and trump was uh mocking caitlin collins of cnn and he made the claim that cnn hates america

00:06:54.620 and then uh dana bash was on uh as soon as they cut away from that uh they went to dana bash and uh she

00:07:08.700 wanted to to let us know that uh the cnn does not hate america

00:07:15.100 now let me give you a little uh persuasion tip 0.98

00:07:24.380 if you're defending yourself against the charge of hating america you're already losing

00:07:31.980 because as soon as you hear that even if the only thing you heard was the defense and you didn't hear

00:07:37.660 any of the accusations you'd say to yourself nobody ever asked me if i hate america why why does cnn

00:07:46.460 have to answer whether they hate america sounds a little sketchy doesn't it

00:07:53.180 you're guilty if you just get in the conversation so i i think cnn should have maybe just ignored it

00:08:00.460 but instead they defended that they don't hate america which makes at least half of the people in

00:08:07.900 the country go you don't well i've seen your coverage and it it appears that you do i'm not

00:08:16.220 so sure you love america anyway i'm sure they love america totally i would say however that the claim

00:08:28.380 that they do love america is what they call a baseless claim because it was presented with no

00:08:33.900 evidence whatsoever right that's a baseless claim when uh trump said the 2020 election was rigged

00:08:44.060 the cnn people and most of the news said it's a baseless claim because there's no evidence so do they

00:08:52.540 love america as cnn they say so but it's a baseless claim no evidence presented well here's some fake

00:09:02.940 news that might be real news a little bit um so the trump administration is gonna ask congress to cut

00:09:10.220 funding for npr and pbs now you you just said to yourself yes finally we get rid of npr and pbs no

00:09:20.700 that's not gonna happen the amount of funding that npr and pbs get from the government the federal

00:09:26.700 government it was kind of trivial so won't make any difference at all but you might feel better if

00:09:33.340 you're not funding them um so so that's how you could be the smartest person in the room next time

00:09:42.540 somebody gets in conversation about funding npr and pbs you can be the smartest one by saying

00:09:49.180 their total funding doesn't have much to do with the federal government it's like one percent or

00:09:56.620 something like that meanwhile a new mexico man has been uh charged in arson attack on a tesla showroom

00:10:08.140 now post-millennials writing about this i'm starting to wonder if if the department of justice is going to

00:10:17.580 catch a hundred percent of the domestic terrorists who are doing the the tesla stuff at least the ones

00:10:25.340 who you know burn down showrooms because there must be cameras everywhere you know between the cars and

00:10:32.460 you know just security cameras so i got another one i don't know how many are still on the loose

00:10:39.180 but i feel like they're gonna get them all and then they should ship them to el salvador

00:10:48.300 and put them in those jails i i still have a question about those el salvador jails

00:10:55.500 because how can you possibly keep el salvador safe unless you never let them out is that actually

00:11:03.660 the plan that they're never let out because they're gang members and how in the world would that even 0.84

00:11:10.620 be slightly you know humane but nobody cares i guess because they're monsters they're monsters

00:12:22.220 responsibly um so biden's going to give his uh joe biden's going to give his first speech since he left

00:12:31.660 office how much would you love to hear that he's going to be in chicago uh speaking to the um

00:12:40.620 advocates and counselors for the disabled so he's going to give his speech and aren't you super curious

00:12:52.780 whether he can pull it off because you know he's been in that mode for a while where his decline is

00:13:00.140 happening kind of quickly why would he even agree to it doesn't seem weird they even agreed to in the

00:13:06.700 first place because it's all just nothing but downside for him so maybe maybe they just can't

00:13:13.820 say no to him like i can do it ah ah i can make a speech let me make a speech all right joe we'll let

00:13:24.140 you do one at a small event speaking of joe biden you know the gateway pundit and just the news

00:13:33.820 news i've been reporting on i think john solomon reporting on this that now that there's some more

00:13:40.540 uh unredacted emails there's a complete link um you can you can see the entire criminal enterprise

00:13:50.940 where joe biden was vice president and he was negotiating deals for uh his son

00:13:57.420 who was on the board of burisma it was exactly what you thought so the the biden crime family

00:14:08.380 was exactly what you thought it was now i don't think that joe biden will ever be prosecuted

00:14:15.980 because he is a certain age and you know not like the special who was it to her who said he

00:14:23.580 that no jury would convict him because he's just like a amiable crazy old man so i think that biden

00:14:31.500 actually succeeded uh something like a life of crime and he got away with it all the way to retirement

00:14:39.660 see i think the trick is if you're going to get away with a life of crime

00:14:44.220 you have to act crazy at the end so you know wear your bathrobe everywhere that sort of thing it

00:14:53.100 works for the mafia so i think joe biden will be in a bathrobe pretty soon that's my guess but it kind

00:15:01.100 of blows my mind that we don't have to guess it was he abusing his office because we've got like his

00:15:09.740 emails that were used as a pseudonym and it's very clear he was negotiating you know energy deals on

00:15:17.500 behalf of his son it's just amazing that we have all the evidence now but we just look at it and go

00:15:25.100 oh let's just talk about it among ourselves like it like somehow it doesn't matter so you know all those

00:15:32.540 migrants who are flown in by joe biden which to me was the weirdest thing remember when you first heard 0.98

00:15:40.060 that the u.s government was not just processing people at the border but they were actively flying

00:15:47.340 people in from other countries now wasn't your first impression no that that can't be true well

00:15:55.340 it can't be many people right it's not like there's a lot of people they're going to fly in by airplanes

00:16:01.580 and then you find out it's like over half a million half a million people were flown in from other

00:16:08.780 countries because the democrats apparently were trying to you know stack the deck and get more

00:16:15.580 democrat voters or get more you know get more uh representation whatever whatever they were after

00:16:23.020 um but now a federal judge in boston so once again the democrats shop for a judge anywhere in the

00:16:33.580 country this one was in boston and they get this judge to make a ruling that affects

00:16:38.700 things that are not in boston so i feel like the supreme court needs to slap this one down

00:16:45.980 but bill belugian was reporting on this fox news

00:16:49.020 um but uh trump was trying to remove um their protection so he can ship them all back

00:16:58.700 and the federal judge said no you cannot you cannot do that so what trump ordered to do is revoke their

00:17:05.260 legal status um and then to basically revoke them all and i think the judge said that every person has

00:17:13.980 to be judged individually there are half a million of them so that's going to take a while um so we'll see

00:17:24.380 i don't know if this is going to go to the supreme court but it seems like exactly the sort of thing they

00:17:29.340 would have any of you seen the tucker carlson show where he's talking to kurt weldon who was in congress

00:17:37.740 for years and has a lot to say about 9 11. i don't know what to believe about any of that

00:17:47.100 so i'll just say that i haven't seen the whole thing yet but apparently this uh kurt weldon uh who had

00:17:55.900 been chairman of the house armed services committee so you know a serious politician and he uh he

00:18:03.820 publicly questioned the accuracy of the 9 11 report that he thought was basically you know an inside job

00:18:12.140 and uh in retaliation the bush administration sent federal agents to his daughter's house

00:18:19.740 and ended his political career so now now apparently he's he's telling the truth

00:18:25.900 because he's 77 and he just feels like it's time to do now let me tell you my evolution in this whole

00:18:34.220 9 11 story when 9 11 happened i was really only thinking about the you know the big picture stuff

00:18:42.780 and i'd hear all the conspiracy theorists and they're blaming israel and they're blaming saudi arabia

00:18:48.700 and they're they're they don't think bin laden's even real or you know just all kinds of crazy stuff

00:18:56.300 but i didn't pay much attention to it because i thought i saw the airplane hit the building

00:19:02.780 and i saw the other airplane hit the building if i see it with my own eyes and then the building goes

00:19:08.780 down well i'm gonna think i'm gonna think that's what the problem was but the other day you know now now

00:19:17.340 time is going by and we've learned how many things that we thought were true were just absolute

00:19:23.100 you know the the kennedy assassination pretty much everything that we've been taught by our

00:19:30.540 government is fake so now i'm open to it so i'm open to some good conspiracy theories but i'll tell

00:19:39.900 you the one thing that i can't get past i was watching some clips of the towers coming down

00:19:48.620 you know at the moment when they they collapsed and it looked like it was just dust

00:19:54.300 like somehow somehow the buildings had turned all that metal into dust and there was like nothing

00:20:04.060 but a big pile of dust at the bottom and i thought that doesn't look natural i mean that doesn't even

00:20:11.180 look like a plane in it and then of course there's building seven that never made any sense

00:20:15.580 so uh i think i'm squarely on the conspiracy theory side but i don't know which conspiracy theory

00:20:24.700 so i don't know there's probably about five different versions of conspiracy theories

00:20:32.860 so uh one of them is that the planes were operated remotely and you know they were not even piloted by the

00:20:41.180 the hijackers i don't know maybe i doubt it though i don't think you could be that accurate

00:20:48.620 you know doing it remotely but maybe i'm open to any theories about that because none of it looked

00:20:56.780 organic or real and we don't live in a country where the committee that studies that can be trusted

00:21:02.540 you know ever so there's something going on uh well you may have heard that uh china in uh retaliation for

00:21:13.660 the uh the tariffs trump's tariffs um is using what i call the dilbert method to deny us rare earth

00:21:22.780 materials now it's only seven of them so if you want to get some sumerium or a gadolinium or if you're a

00:21:31.260 little low on terby terbium or you just can't get enough uh dysprosium or uh lutetium uh if you'd like

00:21:42.380 some scandium or etrium it's going to be harder to do but instead of saying we're not going to give you

00:21:49.900 these china does a a total dilbert and instead of saying you know you can't have them they say well 0.94

00:21:58.940 there'll be some new restrictions and you have to just apply so you can't just buy them you have to

00:22:06.140 apply and it doesn't apply just the united states it's to everybody but it's kind of genius because

00:22:13.180 they can say we didn't ban them you just have to fill out the paperwork and you can have them

00:22:19.420 but how long is it going to take for them to process the paperwork

00:22:22.620 i think if it's america it's going to take a while so that's a classic dilbert trick

00:22:31.900 where you you're acting like you're completely helping oh no it's just some paperwork yeah we

00:22:39.420 can even tell you how to fill it out here you go just fill out this paperwork and you can get your rare

00:22:44.220 earth minerals well good luck with that because it looks like they're going to dilbert that

00:22:55.420 um according to the macau news china is significantly outpacing the us and the european union in the use

00:23:03.340 of ai and research is that good how are they using ai and research is it writing the research papers

00:23:12.140 i don't think there's anything that it does that would help research because you can't really trust

00:23:20.060 it like you would like to trust science so how does that work anyway i feel like this is just another

00:23:27.980 one of those things where um on any given day i'll see a story that uh everything that china builds is 0.92

00:23:36.620 crap and they don't know how to do anything and their buildings fall down and the bridges fall down 0.87

00:23:41.500 and the bridges are made but with corn actually corn i read that today there's some bridge that the 0.99

00:23:48.380 inner structure was part corn corn on the cob even it wasn't even just just the corn so i don't know

00:23:58.540 if that's true but then but then you hear another story it's like they're way ahead of us on science and

00:24:05.020 they're way ahead of us and in ai i don't think we know anything about china china it's just like a

00:24:14.380 black box to me because it's either falling apart and they're on the verge of going out of business

00:24:21.660 or they're the dominant country in the world and nothing can stop them but but china is always opposites 0.94

00:24:29.900 there's always there's always a story about how great they are at the same time there's a story

00:24:36.140 about how horrible they are and how much trouble they're in and how it's all going to fall apart

00:24:41.020 i don't know what to believe well scott presler is telling us that california blocked a voter id legislation

00:24:51.100 so even though the vast majority of people want voter id for voting uh they want you know id for

00:25:00.380 voting uh california blocked it you know that's the politicians but apparently one of the state

00:25:06.540 representatives is going to do a a citizen's initiation project to put it on the ballot if it gets on the

00:25:13.340 ballot it's got about 64 approval so looks like uh the the legislature isn't going to be able to block

00:25:25.500 this it's going to be on the ballot because all they need is a million signatures i think you could

00:25:31.980 get a million signatures i mean that's a big number but i'll bet you can do it um trump says he's going

00:25:40.940 to put a temporary exemption on auto parts from foreign countries because the auto industry likes

00:25:47.100 it um and that's a temporary exemption to give companies time to switch from parts made in canada

00:25:54.620 mexico and beyond now temporary how long does trump think it would take for people to move manufacturing of

00:26:05.100 car parts back to the united states that doesn't happen quickly does it or are there just certain

00:26:12.940 machines that are in mexico or canada and if they just move them to america everything would be fine

00:26:20.700 so maybe it's just that they've got machines that make these parts and

00:26:25.900 uh and uh and uh if you move the machines in the united states you can make them here can't be that hard

00:26:36.540 all right did you know that uh senator schumer apparently still hasn't condemned the attacks on tesla

00:26:45.740 uh and uh uh epa chief uh zelden it was kind of slamming him saying uh he said that senator schumer

00:26:56.540 was asked about the tesla dealership attacks and ignored it then turned around and went after elon

00:27:03.580 it's unbelievable to me that schumer can't just say no i'm against domestic violence

00:27:11.900 or domestic terrorism that would be a real easy thing to be against but he won't do it

00:27:19.100 so we have to assume he's in favor of it because it wouldn't be hard to say you're not favorite

00:27:28.300 so here's what i've concluded about this chaos stuff you know trump's always being accused of chaos

00:27:35.020 i think the democrats have made a good case that trump has brought chaos into the markets

00:27:46.460 but what they haven't done is made a good case that chaos is worse than the situation we're in

00:27:53.900 because the situation we're in we're heading toward a debt explosion that was going to kill us for sure

00:27:59.900 and then we've got a trade situation that would kill us for sure you know over time so

00:28:09.100 even if they're if they're right that uh trump's bringing a lot of chaos and i would say

00:28:16.060 there's a lot of moving parts so if you want to call that chaos sure but they haven't made the case

00:28:22.940 the chaos is worse than the status quo you know doing things the way we did it so that's my challenge

00:28:31.420 to to them and if they think that uh if they think that the way that we should go forward is that no

00:28:39.900 we want to make the cuts and we want to we want to fix trade but we're going to do it with a scalpel

00:28:46.620 that's just dumb because that's the way everything's been done forever and it got us into this

00:28:53.980 situation do you do you think if we had just individually called 130 countries and said we'd 0.90

00:29:00.460 like to negotiate our trade deals that they would be eager to help us i don't think so i think it's the

00:29:09.820 chaos and the fact that trump just scared the crap out of everybody who does business with the united

00:29:16.060 states it's the chaos that's why 130 have contacted the us and are trying to do a deal which probably

00:29:25.500 will be better for us i don't know if it'd be better for them so yeah chaos is it's great just don't try to

00:29:34.300 pretend that you could have done it with a scalpel you know and smart people could have sat down and

00:29:40.060 figured out a new trade deal that's not a real thing we would have done that decades ago if that

00:29:47.020 were real nobody could do that you you have to be a big gorilla and scare everybody and then you can

00:29:53.740 get some stuff done that's what trump is doing it's a let's say it's directionally correct chaos

00:30:00.700 there just introduced a new term directionally correct chaos claudia was leaving for her pickleball 1.00

00:30:09.260 tournament i've been visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't 0.95

00:30:14.700 see the column behind her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the 1.00

00:30:21.100 largest network of auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and

00:30:26.140 she was on her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first 1.00

00:30:31.340 round but you got there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply

00:30:38.940 well tulsi gabbard and her husband have been threatened with uh by some guy ali akbar muhammad

00:30:47.740 and uh he was accused of sending threats including statements like you and your family are going to die 0.66

00:30:53.420 soon i will personally do the job if necessary you know i don't think we appreciate enough

00:30:59.980 how brave you have to be to be a conservative in the government i i'm not sure if she would call

00:31:07.180 herself a conservative but she's you know sort of on the trump team you have to be pretty brave because

00:31:15.180 the crazies are all activated and the thing i'm wondering is why are there not conservative crazies

00:31:23.420 who are doing similarly similarly terrible things to democrats is there some reason that's not

00:31:31.740 happening i'm not saying you should but i can't figure out why it's all coming from one side

00:31:38.620 when crazy people are more universal you know they're all over the place so

00:31:45.980 anyway anyway i'm glad that tulsi will be okay because that guy got picked up

00:31:54.220 um according to uh brave bart christina wang is writing about how the cia director michael ellis is saying that

00:32:03.900 um they're gonna craft a cia um let's say organization or system to fight the cartels

00:32:15.580 and that had never been their top priority i guess so they're going to use the skills that they've

00:32:23.180 learned taking down terrorists and other countries and they're going to uh open their aperture as they

00:32:30.380 say on terrorism and go after the cartels now didn't you always assume the cia was on the side of the cartels

00:32:40.860 because i did i don't think it's simply a case that they weren't working on the cartels before

00:32:48.380 i feel like the big change had to be you know the big the big change had to be they'd be willing to go after the cartels

00:32:57.100 so maybe maybe under trump they will we'll see

00:33:00.300 so here's a sign of the times if you were trying to understand how well california is being run

00:33:11.020 and the and you could only hear one story this might be this might be the one that sums up all of

00:33:17.260 california so there's a democrat in california who proposed a bill for students to be able to live in

00:33:24.780 their cars among that amid the housing crisis the daily caller news foundation is writing about this

00:33:32.220 so cory jackson introduced the bill that students can live in their cars on campus parking lots now

00:33:40.620 they would hope it would be temporary at least that's what they'd hope

00:33:47.260 um but just think about the fact that a student at let's see which of the colleges uh california

00:33:59.340 state university locations 20 california community colleges um and that people are going to live in

00:34:07.100 their cars because there's not access to affordable housing there's housing it's just not affordable

00:34:17.260 all right um do you remember uh you know the mayor of boston mayor michelle wu according to the national

00:34:29.420 pulse she uh her campaign in 2021 accepted 300 000 from a fundraiser reportedly tied to a communist

00:34:41.740 chinese communist communist party influence agency

00:34:46.540 do you ever wonder like how much money china spends influencing americans 0.52

00:34:54.140 it's got to be a lot by the way you don't hear the heavy equipment right outside my window do you

00:34:59.660 it's not supposed to start until eight but they like to get a jump on it i i've heard that you can't hear

00:35:06.780 it because my microphone is nicely directional but boy could i hear it um

00:35:15.420 yeah 300 000 from a chinese communist party influence agency now again i have to complain

00:35:24.620 as far as i know nobody's ever offered to bribe me

00:35:27.660 and i'm thinking what's up with that like i i'm pretty sure i wouldn't take a bribe to you know influence

00:35:37.500 but nobody offered come on at least offer so i can turn it down

00:35:43.980 uh well meanwhile over in france uh a number of their prisons have been attacked so there's gunfire

00:35:54.860 and cars on fire and all kinds of chaos uh but at least eight prisons around france were hit overnight

00:36:03.580 and some are saying it's the uh the narco underworld that is basically the the drug criminals

00:36:14.860 and that they're mad because uh it's a pushback against france's new anti-drug crackdown

00:36:22.940 so apparently the drug the underworld drug people in france have enough firepower that they can

00:36:33.340 attack eight prisons at the same time um i swear to god i saw this story completely different

00:36:40.620 earlier in the day i i thought it looked like a an islamic attack but then it morphed into a narco

00:36:50.780 uh underworld attack so that's probably probably the true one anyway

00:36:57.820 well negotiator uh whitkoff who's trying to negotiate peace for trump in these various wars

00:37:06.940 um he he talked to vladimir vladimir putin and he said that the talks were quote compelling

00:37:16.700 does that sound like he's gonna have some peace right away the the talks were compelling

00:37:22.140 that doesn't sound good i mean it doesn't sound like progress um he said the russian leader was

00:37:29.660 open to a permanent peace deal with ukraine yeah that's what everybody says

00:37:35.340 um and then whitkoff says i think we might be in the verge of something that would be very very

00:37:40.860 important for the world at large it took a while for us to get to this place

00:37:45.980 do you think they're really close i don't i i don't think they're close um i don't know what

00:37:56.220 they've agreed to what they haven't but i'm gonna say not close um and uh whitkoff said that after five

00:38:05.660 years of talks he saw a deal quote emerging and a possibility to reshape the russian united states

00:38:12.620 relationship through compelling there it is compelling again commercial opportunities that

00:38:19.260 would give real stability to the region what do you think that would be rare earth minerals and

00:38:27.100 gas i don't know

00:38:30.700 so i'm gonna say sounds good but i don't think it's real

00:38:36.540 i don't think it's real but maybe i'm wrong meanwhile ukraine has developed what they call the

00:38:46.300 alligator nine uh drones for the sea so i guess it's a a drone on the ocean that can release other other uh

00:38:56.940 drones so it's an unmanned um ship that can let other drones fly out of it and attack

00:39:06.540 uh attack things that will attack the russian navy basically

00:39:14.620 now what doesn't say is apparently this is a ukraine invention so nobody's saying that they bought

00:39:21.500 it from somebody has ukraine reached a point where they can develop um really high-tech drones and that

00:39:30.620 they can make them in ukraine or are they coming from somewhere else and ukraine is just taking credit

00:39:38.140 for it but it does seem to me that if the peace deal doesn't get done pretty soon the the war is going

00:39:46.540 to turn into just a total drone war because ukraine doesn't have enough people so they're just going to use

00:39:52.460 drones for everything so it looks like they're going to drone it up for the navy they also have a laser

00:40:01.500 so they can put a laser on this alligator nine and it can shoot down drones

00:40:09.820 or fry enemy well it can launch its own drones but can fry enemy drones

00:40:14.620 and helicopters and missiles so really did ukraine really invent something that has a laser defense

00:40:27.820 and is super high-tech and it can launch all these other drones against ships

00:40:34.220 no i feel like somebody must be behind it more than ukraine but on the other hand ukraine was working

00:40:40.860 pretty hard to become the best uh military drone country and they needed it so maybe they did do it 0.98

00:40:51.180 wall street journal is reporting that uh wick cough said that you talk about their uran deal so um so

00:41:00.620 wick cough said that the u.s is prepared to allow uran to enrich uranium at a low level if it is subject

00:41:07.740 to stringent verification which would be a significant shift in the white house's position do you think

00:41:14.540 that iran is going to literally say all right we won't make a nuke because it's all they have to say

00:41:22.540 and then there's a peace deal they don't i'm not even sure they need to mean it they just need to say it

00:41:30.300 so i think the game from iran will be to you know stall maybe as long as possible while they're building

00:41:40.140 their nuke but i think maybe at some point they're just going to say yeah totally we agree not to have

00:41:46.620 a nuke while they're building it in their secret under you know secret mountain fortress because you

00:41:53.420 know they're doing all the good stuff deep underground you know you you can't imagine that

00:41:58.300 there's a factory sitting above ground that could get bombed so how would we ever really know if iran

00:42:07.180 stopped making nuclear weapons how would we ever know that because don't you think they could hide

00:42:14.940 that completely i don't know seems like we'd never really know so i don't think there's going to be an

00:42:22.300 iran deal anytime soon i i saw on the the hill the headline that says there's a buzz building around

00:42:31.260 aoc's future a buzz i don't think there is i think there's the media trying to create a buzz around aoc

00:42:41.340 because they see her as potentially good campaigner i don't know if it's her time to be president 0.96

00:42:47.900 she's a little young but that's also part of her advantage she would sell she would sell herself as 1.00

00:42:54.700 being the next generation but apparently aoc is helping bernie draw massive crowds but i think when

00:43:03.100 you see here something like there's a buzz it's the media trying to create one so i don't think the buzz is

00:43:11.180 out there i think the media is trying to create the buzz because they really need to find a democrat

00:43:18.140 who can make a dent do you do you think aoc could beat a traditional republican if she ran for president 1.00

00:43:28.460 you know let's say jd vance somebody like that do you i mean how would she do in a debate against jd vance 1.00

00:43:36.780 i feel like she wouldn't do that well because he's good at it and yeah we'll see well there's a new

00:43:45.020 cement according to sujitia sina there's a new cement that can turn heat into electricity

00:43:54.300 and then the building can help power itself i saw a bunch of comments when i reposted this on x everybody

00:44:02.300 thought that the building was going to collapse and it's terrible cement and that uh it's

00:44:09.820 it's a bio-inspired material with a seabuck coefficient of negative 40.5 millivolts i don't know what

00:44:20.060 any of that means but uh apparently they can have super cement i don't know if i'd want to build my

00:44:28.300 building with a cement that was made to develop power because i was yes made out of corn the building

00:44:37.900 is mostly made out of corn anyway that's all we got for today um i'm noticing that a lot of the news

00:44:48.620 just looks the same so instead of just covering every story if it looks like the same news you've seen

00:44:56.540 somewhere else um then it's not fun to talk about so trump's going to get uh get busy this week

00:45:05.580 and you've got your taxes to pay today remember it's tax day don't forget

00:45:13.260 i won't take your calls i can see why

00:45:19.340 all right uh ladies and gentlemen thanks for joining i'm going to talk to the locals people privately

00:45:24.540 and the rest of you i'll see um same time same place tomorrow thanks for joining
