Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2812 CWSA 04⧸17⧸25

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

00:00:16.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time in your life than

00:00:22.560 right now.

00:00:23.780 But if you'd like to take a chance on taking this up to a level that nobody's ever experienced

00:00:30.580 with their tiny, shiny human brains and the history of the universe, all you need is a

00:00:35.400 cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice of stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of

00:00:39.980 any kind, and fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:42.680 I like coffee.

00:00:44.320 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the

00:00:48.300 thing that makes everything better.

00:00:49.960 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens.

00:00:53.200 That's right.

00:00:54.020 Right now.

00:00:55.060 Go.

00:01:00.000 Hmm.

00:01:01.460 Not bad.

00:01:04.980 Could be better, but not bad.

00:01:07.420 Well, despite the rise in price of coffee, did you know that according to the National

00:01:16.160 Coffee Association, which is where I go for all my coffee information, it's called the

00:01:21.680 NCA, has revealed that two-thirds of American adults drink coffee daily with an average of

00:01:29.220 three cups consumed per day.

00:01:31.780 Two-thirds of Americans.

00:01:33.360 That means that one-third of Americans are sad and tired all the time.

00:01:39.480 They don't know what the problem is.

00:01:41.500 One-third.

00:01:42.080 Sorry about it.

00:01:45.000 One-third.

00:01:46.860 A Data Republican on X.

00:01:49.500 If you don't follow Data Republican, you should.

00:01:52.100 It's one of the better accounts.

00:01:55.720 And what Data Republican does is data, but does it really well with AI.

00:02:02.560 And has now developed a new tool that you can use.

00:02:07.060 That's a DEI funding detector.

00:02:09.740 It's still in beta, but apparently what it can do is it can scan the billions in federal

00:02:18.020 awards and IRS filings, and then it uses AI to look through all that data, and it can

00:02:25.120 find even when they're hiding DEI by changing the names.

00:02:30.020 So it's clever enough to say, oh, that's really DEI, even though you're not using any of those

00:02:35.640 words.

00:02:36.120 So it can uncover DEI-focused awards, reveal mission mismatches when the money and the

00:02:45.260 nonprofit don't align.

00:02:47.040 It can look for DEI-specific flags.

00:02:51.680 So that's going to be fun as we try to remove all the racism from the world with getting rid

00:03:00.180 of the DEI, and it does a little more.

00:03:06.260 Here's some good news.

00:03:08.540 There's been the discovery of an exoplanet called K2-18b, which is, you know, how I refer

00:03:15.820 to it usually.

00:03:17.240 And they think that it has an alien ocean that may be teeming with life.

00:03:21.360 So there's a 99.7% certainty that the planet has at least one gas in its atmosphere that,

00:03:31.400 at least on Earth, is produced only by living things.

00:03:36.500 Now, what do you think are the odds that that planet is actually teeming with life because

00:03:41.640 there's a gas that on Earth is associated with living things?

00:03:46.960 Is that good enough?

00:03:51.000 I don't know.

00:03:52.040 I'm not going to wait for the aliens.

00:03:54.280 I don't think.

00:03:55.680 I don't think.

00:03:57.020 But wouldn't it be amazing if we found some actual aliens someday?

00:04:02.040 Don't you want to live long enough to see some aliens?

00:04:05.480 Well, here's the good news.

00:04:06.880 According to many podcasts, we have captured aliens in warehouses, in various government

00:04:16.720 facilities.

00:04:18.100 And we also have, oh, I don't know how many UFOs we've captured, according to people who

00:04:26.000 have said things.

00:04:28.800 So if you can't trust people you don't know who have said things, who can you trust?

00:04:34.760 Science.

00:04:35.320 All right.

00:04:38.860 I've got a rare recommendation for you of a content that you might enjoy. 0.93

00:04:46.760 Now, the reason it's rare is because almost everything on television is trash.

00:04:53.140 But I gave a chance to this one thing on Netflix.

00:04:58.900 It's a new series called The Residence.

00:05:02.240 I'm not sure if there's a thought in front of it, but residents or the residents.

00:05:08.280 Now, the first thing you need to know is it's super woke.

00:05:12.880 And if you're surprised that I'm recommending something that's super woke, let me finish, and then maybe

00:05:20.880 I'll change your mind.

00:05:22.260 So it's super woke, but it's about a murder in the White House. 0.99

00:05:26.460 And the president is a gay married guy. 1.00

00:05:31.520 All the white men in the story are presented as dumb and possibly criminals. 1.00

00:05:36.320 The hero of the series is a black woman who is the most brilliant detective in all the world. 0.99

00:05:49.660 Everybody knows her.

00:05:50.680 And she's extra good because she's overweight. 1.00

00:05:57.120 And so that sounds pretty woke, doesn't it?

00:06:03.780 Sounds like exactly something you don't want to watch, right?

00:06:07.340 All right, I'm going to change your mind.

00:06:10.300 So it happens in the White House.

00:06:12.840 And they do these amazing visual fly-throughs of the actual, I guess it's not the actual White House.

00:06:20.840 But they've built a model or a stage, a set, I guess, of the White House that is so impressive.

00:06:29.200 So if you've never visited the White House, you end up getting all these tours that they just sort of work in with the script.

00:06:38.980 So it's usually somebody telling somebody else, oh, this room is where they have the barbershop,

00:06:44.360 and this room is the pharmacy, and here's where they've got the pool table, and here's where the employees are.

00:06:51.060 So you learn everything about the employee network in the White House, which is fascinating.

00:06:58.020 You know, the hierarchy and everything else.

00:07:00.740 And then you see the physical living quarters of the White House, the part you don't normally see.

00:07:07.360 And it's just so well done.

00:07:10.700 And here's the kicker.

00:07:13.760 The hard thing about watching any kind of long-form content is that they will make you look at the scene that they spent money on,

00:07:21.480 and they'll just make you look at it.

00:07:23.380 So if they build a scene where somebody is trying to get through the desert before they die,

00:07:29.960 they're going to make you watch that person get through that desert for, you know, 20 minutes.

00:07:34.240 And you'd be like, okay, I get it.

00:07:36.780 I get it.

00:07:37.700 They're going through the desert.

00:07:39.840 Can you speed that up?

00:07:41.560 It's still desert.

00:07:42.680 Got it.

00:07:43.540 They're really thirsty.

00:07:45.520 They're chapped.

00:07:46.640 Their lips are chapped.

00:07:48.180 I get it.

00:07:49.300 I get it.

00:07:50.040 So that's me watching most.

00:07:52.960 But whoever did the editing, directing, writing on the show, The Resonance, really did a good job.

00:08:02.160 Because every scene is tight and fast.

00:08:06.400 So it doesn't look like regular shows.

00:08:09.280 It's got a whole feel to it that you haven't seen before.

00:08:14.220 So that alone is worth watching.

00:08:15.900 And lastly, I have to give it up that even though the casting is clearly woke as hell,

00:08:26.820 everybody's really good.

00:08:29.760 So you can't really pick out anybody and say, you know, that person was only picked because they fit the demographic or something.

00:08:38.180 They're all great.

00:08:39.120 But it's way too woke because it was probably made a year ago before DEI became more obviously illegal.

00:08:48.620 But if you're thinking of trying something, just know it's super woke.

00:08:54.840 And that will be part of the entertainment.

00:08:58.140 But everything else about it, really well done so far.

00:09:03.040 I recommend it.

00:09:03.740 Well, apparently, Grok is being upgraded.

00:09:08.920 It's still in beta.

00:09:10.420 But the feature that's being added is Grok will remember your prior conversations.

00:09:16.560 But you can control it.

00:09:18.020 So if you don't want it to remember it, you can turn that off.

00:09:21.940 So that's not in every version of Grok yet.

00:09:24.840 So the Grok that's built into X doesn't seem to have it yet.

00:09:29.600 But the separate, you know, freestanding Grok seem to, at least in beta form.

00:09:35.980 And you'll get more personalized responses and all that.

00:09:40.780 So that could be a big deal.

00:09:42.760 And if Grok can read my documents and talk to me and remember things, finally, maybe I can guess something that can, you know, do the stuff that I want.

00:09:57.520 Because it's been over, what, a year and a half since I started playing with AI and thinking, oh, this can solve some real problems I have in my, you know, keeping my data straight and stuff like that.

00:10:11.440 But, nope, I can't even come close.

00:10:14.700 But maybe they're close now.

00:10:16.760 Open AI is weirdly going to build, at least according to The Verge, build an X-like social network.

00:10:28.840 So apparently, this is sort of rumored, so I don't know how true this is.

00:10:32.540 But the rumor is that X has such advantages because it can read its own data from, you know, X.

00:10:43.220 And X has just tons and tons of, you know, human interactions.

00:10:47.000 So it's really a valuable training tool.

00:10:49.660 But the other AIs would not have access to that.

00:10:52.480 So they're going to build their own, at least open AI, is rumored to be building its own social network.

00:10:59.180 Do you think that's going to work?

00:11:02.540 I don't know.

00:11:03.760 It's probably worth a try.

00:11:05.760 Otherwise, you're going to have trouble competing.

00:11:08.460 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,

00:11:14.200 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:11:17.300 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:11:20.020 Are those from Winners?

00:11:21.560 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings?

00:11:23.980 Did she pay full price?

00:11:25.340 Or that leather tote?

00:11:26.340 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:11:27.280 Or those knee-high boots?

00:11:29.060 That dress?

00:11:29.840 That jacket?

00:11:30.500 Those shoes?

00:11:31.540 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:11:34.480 Stop wondering.

00:11:35.740 Start winning.

00:11:36.680 Winners.

00:11:37.260 Find fabulous for less.

00:11:39.500 Well, if you wonder why California is so poorly run, here's another example.

00:11:47.880 So the gas prices in California are already, I think, twice what you're used to in almost every other state.

00:11:55.420 Just about double.

00:11:57.440 And part of that is because we have rules about refineries.

00:12:03.000 So refineries are closing.

00:12:05.620 And guess what?

00:12:06.880 According to just the news, Valero is announcing the probable closure, or pending closure, I guess, of one of its two remaining California refineries.

00:12:18.020 And so California is going to lose 18% of its current refining capacity by the end of 2026, when we were already, like, right at the limit.

00:12:30.520 So why would a refinery want to leave California?

00:12:35.620 Wouldn't you think that would be a great place to be?

00:12:38.120 You've got all those people driving cars and needing gas, and you're a refinery, and there's not a lot of refineries.

00:12:43.580 Wouldn't that be the best business to be in?

00:12:47.420 Well, not with the rules that California is putting on them.

00:12:53.740 So one of the things that California did is it's got a statewide ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars in 2035.

00:13:02.700 So if you were thinking of building a refinery, you would say to yourself, wait, they're going to stop selling gas cars in that state?

00:13:10.980 Why would we build a refinery there?

00:13:13.180 So that's a problem.

00:13:15.700 And then there's some kind of rule that California passed that, what was the rule?

00:13:25.100 New regulations that the state could determine when refineries are allowed to shut down for maintenance.

00:13:32.700 So imagine you're running the refinery, and the state gets to decide when you shut down for maintenance.

00:13:39.540 And then there's new inventory storage requirements that would require refineries to build vast new storage tanks.

00:13:46.720 So basically, these are things that sound good on paper, but the refineries look at it and say, oh, you just ruined the business model.

00:13:55.460 I can't make money in your state.

00:13:56.900 So California, you can't get fire insurance.

00:14:02.960 You can't get gas pretty soon.

00:14:09.120 What is it we're going to be able to get?

00:14:10.880 We won't have electricity.

00:14:13.280 So electricity, gas, fire insurance.

00:14:16.660 Obviously, you can't drive anywhere because the streets are a mess.

00:14:22.580 You can't really go downtown and shop because it might be too dangerous.

00:14:27.840 We're just really killing it.

00:14:30.500 Well, if you're following the story of Harvard versus the entire United States government,

00:14:35.260 what's the latest here?

00:14:39.100 According to Just the News, the Treasury Department is urging the IRS to pull Harvard's tax-exempt status.

00:14:50.640 Now, why?

00:14:52.960 Well, according to Trump, you can't have tax-exempt status unless you're acting in the public interest.

00:14:59.820 And apparently, they think Harvard's not acting in the public interest.

00:15:05.260 The government wants Harvard to do more about anti-Semitism and more about DEI and basically just a bunch of things.

00:15:14.960 And Harvard has decided that the government should not be telling a private institution what to do.

00:15:19.920 And then the government said, well, very fine, but maybe the public should not be giving money to your institution since you're all private.

00:15:30.800 So we'll be following this fight, Harvard versus the United States government.

00:15:38.780 Well, here's something that is messed up.

00:15:43.580 Well, so remember when you thought that Doge was going to cut the budget and, you know, Trump was going to cut taxes for everybody?

00:15:55.120 Well, apparently, the Republicans are now considering raising the top rate to 40% for people who earn over a million dollars.

00:16:05.440 So that would be people with a small business that's doing well, for example.

00:16:11.500 They would go from 37% to 40%.

00:16:15.280 Now, in California, I think I've got like 13.3% state tax.

00:16:23.080 So add that to the 40% that puts you at 53% tax, for example.

00:16:31.540 So Bloomberg News, I guess, was the first to report this.

00:16:38.680 So there are a whole lot of people who support President Trump and support the Republicans who are going to say, wait a minute.

00:16:50.140 One of the big reasons we supported you is we thought taxes for everybody would go down.

00:16:56.340 Nope, not you rich people.

00:16:58.880 You're going to pay more. 0.99

00:16:59.920 So that sucks. 0.97

00:17:02.240 So, but nobody cares about the rich. 0.99

00:17:06.360 So it's sort of a, it's sort of a free pass.

00:17:12.980 Texas has just passed a universal school choice bill by a good margin.

00:17:20.820 They passed it.

00:17:21.900 So, and I guess the Senate already passed it.

00:17:24.560 So that was the Texas House that passed it now.

00:17:27.600 So they've looks like it's going to be a done deal.

00:17:30.800 So Texas will be the 16th state.

00:17:34.900 Corey DeAngelis is writing about this.

00:17:37.520 16th state to pass universal school choice.

00:17:41.200 So that's kind of big.

00:17:44.040 At least that's going in the right direction, school choice.

00:17:46.780 You remember the story yesterday about Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, who prosecuted Trump for allegedly claiming his properties were worth more than they were to get a loan.

00:18:03.380 But of course, the banks that gave that loan were not depending on anything that Trump said about his properties.

00:18:11.020 Their normal routine is to do their own, you know, do their own, their own evaluation of the value of any assets.

00:18:20.160 So it turns out that Letitia James was credibly accused, credibly accused of being a mortgage fraud herself by claiming that her Virginia residence was her primary residence, claiming that her father was her husband,

00:18:41.300 and claiming that a New York unit that she has had four units in it, which gave it better tax treatment, I guess, or not tax treatment. 0.94

00:18:52.600 Maybe it was mortgage treatment.

00:18:54.120 Then if she told the truth that it has five.

00:18:59.240 So what did she do after being credibly accused of the very crimes that she law-fared Trump into almost not being president?

00:19:11.700 Her approach was to get really mad and give a speech and be extra mad, but also extra mad and extra loud. 1.00

00:19:20.400 And just not mention any of her own problems.

00:19:25.140 Just say, oh, we're not going to take it anymore.

00:19:28.880 We're going to get this guy.

00:19:32.080 So I don't know what it's going to take to take her down, but she's got some interesting times ahead of her. 0.84

00:19:42.680 Harry Enten is debunking one of the things on the Internet.

00:19:46.220 Apparently, people are, people, Democrats, are trying to claim that even Republicans wish they hadn't voted for Trump.

00:19:58.380 But apparently the data doesn't show anything like that.

00:20:01.600 And Harry Enten showed on CNN that 98% of Trump voters would vote the same way.

00:20:08.360 But 98% of Kamala Harris voters would vote the same way, too.

00:20:14.540 So if the election were re-held today, it would be about exactly the same result.

00:20:24.040 Nothing changed.

00:20:25.060 So all this talking about who's doing what and how well they're doing, nobody's opinion changed.

00:20:32.500 98% of the people would still vote exactly the same, no matter what facts are in play.

00:20:41.060 All right.

00:20:43.480 Well, over in Europe, the ECB, which must be kind of like our Fed, I'm assuming in context,

00:20:50.280 is lowering interest rates for the seventh time.

00:20:54.620 And Trump notices that.

00:20:56.560 And he says, why is that not happening here?

00:21:00.420 So he thinks that Jerome Powell of the Fed is too late.

00:21:05.800 You know, he's always too late in lowering interest rates.

00:21:09.600 And Trump says that Powell should do it now because it's happening in Europe and we don't have

00:21:14.620 inflation at the moment, but Powell says he's worried about tariff-driven inflation.

00:21:24.140 Now, does that sound like he's independent or does that sound like he's kind of giving it to Trump?

00:21:33.300 Because if he doesn't lower interest rates, it's going to be a big drag on the government.

00:21:39.300 If he does, everything's going to look like it's heading in the right direction.

00:21:46.400 So, and then Powell has also said that our federal debt is not at an unsustainable level.

00:21:54.940 Do you believe that?

00:21:56.920 That our federal debt is not at an unsustainable level?

00:22:01.860 I think it is at an unsustainable level.

00:22:04.600 So, I am a little concerned that Powell is not operating on what's best for the country.

00:22:16.660 I am a little worried about that.

00:22:19.440 I see in the comments somebody asking me if I've abandoned perplexity.

00:22:24.260 No, perplexity is still great if you want to talk to it.

00:22:28.740 And it's, you know, it's an app on my phone, so it's quick.

00:22:31.680 I routinely have more than one AI, because I like to keep my finger in to figure out what's new and how one compares to the other.

00:22:42.660 So, I'm a bit of a geek.

00:22:46.000 So, anyway, Trump thinks interest rates should be lower, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

00:22:51.200 So, just to make the Democrats have something else to complain about, according to Reuters, SpaceX is a leading contender for what Trump wants to build that he calls the Golden Dome,

00:23:09.880 a defense for the country against missile attacks, meaning that it would shoot up our own counter missiles to knock down any incoming missiles.

00:23:21.080 And SpaceX would be working with other companies, theoretically.

00:23:27.180 Now, I don't think any final decisions are made, but this is just sort of who's in the lead for these things.

00:23:35.300 But SpaceX would partner with Palantir and Enderil, and they'd have some kind of subscription model.

00:23:43.480 So, I think what SpaceX would do would be to provide the satellite intelligence so that the satellites can see pretty much everything on the Earth,

00:23:55.240 so it would know if a missile attack is coming.

00:23:58.860 So, that's good.

00:23:59.820 And the subscription model would be the government wouldn't buy any of the stuff.

00:24:07.960 They would just have a subscription.

00:24:12.740 Which makes, it kind of makes the military sound like it's not as serious.

00:24:17.600 It's like, well, do you have a subscription?

00:24:19.760 You haven't paid up your subscription, so we're not going to stop these missiles.

00:24:25.060 Anyway, Reuters is reporting on that.

00:24:27.080 And all I have to say about that is, let the Democrats begin bitching again that Elon Musk was looking through that government stuff

00:24:38.820 so he could make money being part of the Golden Dome.

00:24:45.640 Now, I know they're going to say, oh, why does Trump's good friend Elon Musk get, you know, possibly, it's not a done deal.

00:24:54.780 But why does he possibly get this big contract?

00:24:59.080 And the answer will be, because nobody else has Starlink.

00:25:04.940 Like, who is the other entity that can even do that?

00:25:09.380 So, we'll see.

00:25:11.660 You've heard Joe Biden and other Democrats try to convince their sheep that what Trump wants to do is reduce Social Security.

00:25:40.400 They say the same thing about Medicaid, but there's no evidence of either of them.

00:25:45.060 But here's what I never see in response.

00:25:48.780 Trump has said that he wants to remove taxes on Social Security, meaning that if you collect Social Security and you're paying taxes,

00:25:58.440 you know, because you have other income, right now you would pay taxes on your Social Security checks, which I do.

00:26:06.540 So, that's my current situation.

00:26:09.080 So, if he were to remove taxes on Social Security, that would be the biggest increase in Social Security that maybe we've ever seen.

00:26:21.560 I asked Grok, and Grok said that 40% of people who get Social Security are also currently being taxed by the federal government,

00:26:30.040 meaning they have other income that puts them in a taxable category, and therefore they're paying taxes on Social Security.

00:26:40.640 So, I wonder why nobody ever brings that up.

00:26:43.220 Is it because it's only good for people who are high income?

00:26:45.880 But Trump is the only person I know who's made a major commitment, if he gets it done.

00:26:56.020 You know, there's no reason to believe he'll necessarily get the no taxes on Social Security.

00:27:01.460 But that would be one of the biggest increases in the benefits of all time, right?

00:27:09.980 And I never see anybody argue that.

00:27:12.100 It's like, not only does he not want to cut it, he wants to get rid of the taxes on it.

00:27:17.160 That would be a pretty good argument.

00:27:19.620 You know, it does lean toward the higher income people.

00:27:24.340 But then you look at his other plan, which is to come up with a higher tax rate for the highest paid people.

00:27:34.120 And it doesn't look like he's favoring the rich.

00:27:37.240 It looks like he's just trying to reduce taxes.

00:27:41.080 So, at least those two topics would work well together.

00:27:44.940 Well, the judges ruled that the 530,000 illegal migrants that Biden flew in on airplanes would have to be tried individually before being deported.

00:28:00.040 So, even though they came in as a giant program, they could only be removed, according to this judge, if every one of them had a, you know, a full vetting and a process, I guess.

00:28:16.260 So, they'd have to be tried individually.

00:28:19.340 Trump, of course, and the Trump administration is mocking that judge because if you did try to do it individually, it literally is impossible.

00:28:28.300 It just would take, you know, 100 years or something.

00:28:32.140 So, that's not going to happen.

00:28:34.940 So, I assume this will just go to a higher court because the only thing you could do with this group, if you really wanted to get rid of them, the only thing you could do would be to do it as a group and just say the whole group is illegal because the program is, I don't know, I've decided the program was illegal for some good reason.

00:28:55.700 So, we'll see.

00:28:59.660 All right.

00:29:00.260 Here's my favorite story.

00:29:04.280 Now, as you know, this whole Kilmer Abrego Garcia guy, also known as the Maryland dad who got deported to El Salvador.

00:29:14.360 For the longest time, I did not find that story interesting, not because it had no, you know, interesting parts, but because I just don't like to get involved in stories about one person.

00:29:31.520 Because unless it's telling you something about the larger world, it just doesn't seem like you should have it in your head at all.

00:29:41.820 You know, unless you're like personally related to it or, you know, a victim of him or something, it just isn't important what happens to one person.

00:29:50.680 But there are so many moving parts to this now, it's become one of my favorite things.

00:29:59.520 So, here's what happened.

00:30:02.840 I can't tell if this is intentional, but the Trump administration had claims that he was a bad guy,

00:30:10.460 so that the deporting was completely appropriate and he had plenty of due process and a court had found him to be deportable and he was a bad guy.

00:30:27.820 But Democrats argued that there wasn't really evidence that he was a bad guy.

00:30:33.580 So, they decided to, you know, one of the senators, Van Holland, he travels all the way down to El Salvador.

00:30:42.620 And then on camera, several times, he referred to El Salvador as San Salvador.

00:30:50.640 And apparently, he got, you know, no political interest whatsoever from El Salvador.

00:30:58.480 I don't even know if anybody met with him.

00:31:00.640 But he didn't get even to talk to him.

00:31:03.580 The fellow who was locked up.

00:31:07.140 So, and then Cory Booker was trying to lead an expedition of like-minded people to go down there and try to rescue him.

00:31:17.820 So, the Democrats are going all in.

00:31:20.600 And then James Carville recommends the Democrats go all in on this.

00:31:26.680 And, like, you know, just take your balls to the wall.

00:31:29.780 And they really make it a hill to die on.

00:31:33.580 And the argument is that if we can let this happen to this one person, in other words, get deported and jailed without what they would call due process, but the people on the right say he did have due process,

00:31:49.140 then it could happen to you.

00:31:51.700 It could happen to you.

00:31:51.980 It could be extended.

00:31:54.800 So, here's what happened.

00:31:58.140 So, in the time between Democrats accurately saying that there wasn't clarity about him being guilty,

00:32:06.040 they sort of doubled down and made it their biggest thing.

00:32:09.800 And then yesterday, it was revealed what he's actually been accused of.

00:32:17.800 And he seems like the guiltiest guy ever.

00:32:21.080 So, you know, it's not like I can know for sure.

00:32:25.360 But apparently, he got picked up.

00:32:27.800 He was arrested in the company of known MS-13 gang members.

00:32:31.780 The law enforcement was told that he was ranked as a higher-up person, which has a name.

00:32:43.340 And he had a nickname that is only sort of gang-related.

00:32:48.460 He had a tattoo that seemed to be MS-13 related, although somebody is arguing that.

00:32:54.380 He was wearing some Chicago Bulls gear, which, of course, regular people wear that, too, especially there.

00:33:04.600 But apparently, it's somehow associated with MS-13 because they like the horns or something.

00:33:12.520 So, he's got tattoos.

00:33:14.840 He's got the clothing of it.

00:33:16.400 He's with the MS-13 people.

00:33:18.800 He was caught with marijuana and a suspicious amount of cash.

00:33:24.380 And then credible sources said, oh, he's definitely MS-13.

00:33:32.860 You know, and they gave details and everything.

00:33:35.580 But on top of that, in 2021, his wife filed a restraining order against him because he beat her up.

00:33:44.260 He punched her with a closed fist and scratched her and tore off her shirt.

00:33:49.120 And I think it was more than once.

00:33:50.960 So, she was afraid for her life about this Maryland dad.

00:33:56.720 And then we heard, according to the Tennessee Star, in 2022, he was stopped driving without a license.

00:34:04.020 And Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of trafficking the seven people inside.

00:34:08.560 So, what they did was, after they stopped him, they learned he was on a terrorist watch list.

00:34:17.480 He was on a terrorist watch list.

00:34:19.840 So, they called Biden's FBI.

00:34:23.440 But Biden's FBI told them to release him.

00:34:28.340 So, he's on a terrorist watch list?

00:34:30.700 Okay, release him.

00:34:33.740 Wait, wait, what?

00:34:35.720 Yeah, so you said he's on a terrorist watch list, right?

00:34:39.100 Yeah.

00:34:40.260 Yeah, release him.

00:34:42.180 Why?

00:34:43.320 I don't know.

00:34:44.500 I don't know.

00:34:45.400 Now, how much of this do I know is true?

00:34:49.400 Well, I don't know it's true.

00:34:51.980 But it's a pretty long list of really bad sounding things that makes me think maybe the Democrats acted a little too hastily in deciding that they would put all of their weight behind this.

00:35:07.900 Now, their argument, of course, as I said, is that if somebody like this, who maybe is a bad person, but if they can be jailed or deported without due process, then eventually that could happen to your mom.

00:35:26.260 So, you know, if your mom, for example, was a wife beater who wore MS-13 clothes and hung out with MS-13 and had an MS-13 nickname and position in the organization, and he was on a terrorist watch list, and he had been ordered by the court to be deported.

00:35:49.380 Well, if that happened to your mom, how sad would you be when your mom got deported to the El Salvador jail, right?

00:35:58.540 So, the hilarious thing is that from a technical perspective, the Democrats might be right.

00:36:09.780 You know, there might be a little bit of due process that you wish there had been.

00:36:15.220 But I'm not terribly worried about this specific guy.

00:36:20.460 And then the argument is, but what about your mom?

00:36:22.980 Later, your mom will be, you know, picked up in the same process.

00:36:27.180 And I'm thinking to myself, there's a long distance between this guy with his record and your mom.

00:36:36.840 I mean, that's a pretty long distance.

00:36:38.660 And one of the things about Democrats, which is probably true of Republicans as well, is once they get committed to a position, they just can't change.

00:36:48.680 So, if Democrats were reasonable, thinking people, what they would have done is said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we didn't realize he was this bad.

00:37:01.760 You're showing us pretty good evidence of how bad he is.

00:37:05.080 We'd like to still, you know, press the point that maybe he should have had more due process.

00:37:10.180 I'm not sure what he was supposed to have that he didn't get, because he got some due process.

00:37:14.120 Otherwise, he wouldn't have a deportation order against him.

00:37:20.480 But to me, it's just hilarious that they can't back off the political part of it.

00:37:25.760 They can keep to their point that maybe in some way he should have had more due process.

00:37:31.880 But they really need to back off supporting him coming back to the country.

00:37:37.340 And even if he came back and got his due process, he would just be shipped back to that El Salvadorian jail.

00:37:45.620 You know, it is his country of, it is his country of origin.

00:38:52.020 So I love that James Garville apparently has given up on what he used to say,

00:38:57.580 which is the Democrats just have to play to win.

00:39:00.340 He's doubling down on this MS-13 guy.

00:39:05.820 And he was telling Democrats that they should play to win, you know, not to just win points.

00:39:12.020 How in the world does Carville think that supporting the MS-13 guy is going to put the Democrats over the line to win elections? 0.98

00:39:22.680 It's maybe the dumbest thing the Democrats have ever done. 0.83

00:39:29.720 So anyway, so they've got a lot of analogy thinking problem, which is if something reminds you of something else, you think it'll go the same way. 0.95

00:39:40.240 So if it reminds you of that old saying, as Garville said also, first they came for this group and I said nothing, and then they came for this group and I said nothing, and then they came for me.

00:39:53.220 Well, not everything goes that way, does it?

00:39:58.320 For example, you know, if you're a murderer, even if you're a citizen, are you going to go a different path than your mom who didn't murder anybody?

00:40:11.660 I mean, we haven't taken it from, well, we've locked up a lot of people in prisons in the United States.

00:40:17.060 You know, they went through due process, but they got locked up to, well, if you can use due process to lock up the criminals, what is to stop them from using due process to lock up your mom?

00:40:32.340 That's analogy thinking.

00:40:35.040 It sort of is ignoring how anything works in the real world.

00:40:40.860 So anyway, Democrats have gone from bad to ridiculously bad.

00:40:48.360 And then Garville has picked a fight with David Hogg, who's using the DNC.

00:40:55.200 So Hogg wants Democrats to primary other Democrats because he thinks that some of those Democrats are not, you know, qualified or they're too old or they don't have any fight in them.

00:41:09.340 So he wants to go after other Democrats.

00:41:13.200 And Garville says he should quit his position in the DNC if he wants to go primary people, because that seems like the opposite of what he should be doing.

00:41:23.720 I have to admit, Garville's kind of right about that.

00:41:27.020 If you're trying to win, probably your best play is not to primary anybody on your own side.

00:41:33.500 First, you want to win.

00:41:37.320 And then, you know, maybe later you could primary people.

00:41:41.300 But so Garville is quite insistent that the far left part of the party needs to be abandoned, which would allow them not to win any elections whatsoever.

00:41:52.880 And now he's going after David Hogg.

00:41:56.200 Every part of this is sort of delicious because there's not a single part of it that doesn't look like a mistake on some level.

00:42:03.380 So, and then, okay, I shouldn't say this at all, but I'm going to do it.

00:42:14.280 So Senator Von Holland already went down there and he went down there before it was revealed.

00:42:20.040 He went down to El Salvador, but he did it before it was revealed that the guy was a wife beater.

00:42:25.440 And so I was trying to imagine what would Von Holland say when he was challenged with that.

00:42:33.260 You know, it's been demonstrated and there's a, you know, there's legal documents that he beat his wife.

00:42:42.520 And I wonder if he was thinking to himself, well, I'd have to know what she said right before he punched her.

00:42:50.060 Now, that's the worst thought you'll ever hear today.

00:42:52.260 But what are they going to say?

00:42:55.440 Are they going to say, well, normally we're against the wife beater, but he didn't get enough due process.

00:43:02.240 Anything they say on this topic is going to sound ridiculously wrong.

00:43:06.520 So you might as well go for full wrong.

00:43:09.580 Say, I'd have to know what she said right before he punched her. 1.00

00:43:12.440 That's the wrongest thing you could say.

00:43:15.800 Well, on X today, there was a user whose name is Matt Van Swal.

00:43:21.540 And this is kind of important, you know, his background.

00:43:25.780 He was a former nuclear scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy.

00:43:30.120 And here's what he wrote.

00:43:31.740 He said on X, I consider myself fairly liberal up until a couple of months ago.

00:43:36.900 I watched CNN nearly every day to get my news.

00:43:41.460 And after reading the truth about Abrego Garcia on X, I'm horrified at the media bias.

00:43:49.440 And then he says, now I'm wondering, what else did I believe that was just a full-blown lie?

00:43:54.920 And people tagged me on that so that I could inform him what else he believed that was a full-blown lie.

00:44:04.280 So I just responded to him with a link to americandebunk.com.

00:44:10.180 So if you haven't seen americandebunk.com, it's a full write-ups of the biggest Democrat hoaxes.

00:44:18.600 Everything from the fine people to the drinking bleach to all the classics.

00:44:23.300 But I would be so curious about Matt Van Swal's journey.

00:44:31.860 Like, is he going to read those debunks and now is he ready?

00:44:35.580 Because if you're not ready, you just start reading them and you go, blah.

00:44:40.440 It's a bunch of propaganda from Republicans.

00:44:42.820 I'm not even going to finish this.

00:44:44.100 But if you're ready, like you've already made the first step yourself and you found out, hey, I'm starting to think this news isn't completely real.

00:44:55.220 Now, you know what Gelman amnesia is, right? 0.64

00:44:59.360 This is sort of where this all came from.

00:45:02.060 There was a physicist who noticed that when he read stories about physics, the one thing he knew about for sure, those stories were all inaccurate.

00:45:10.780 But then he would convince himself that all the other stories were fine until one day he thought, wait a minute.

00:45:19.660 What are the odds that every time I know something about this story is wrong, but every time I don't know anything about this story, it's true.

00:45:27.580 And then he sort of reasoned that maybe the news wasn't true in general.

00:45:33.640 Well, that's why I mentioned that Matt Van Swal was a former nuclear and is a former nuclear scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy.

00:45:43.540 I feel like if you're a scientist and you see that you've been fooled on an important story in the media and you see it for yourself,

00:45:52.820 that it activates the Gelman amnesia part of your brain where you go, wait a minute, just wait a minute.

00:46:03.380 How many other things have I been, you know, propagandized by?

00:46:09.400 So we'll see.

00:46:14.100 So let's talk about the Carmelo Anthony story. 0.93

00:46:20.220 So that's the black teenager who killed a white teenager with a knife. 0.62

00:46:27.140 I don't know the details of who started it or who was the bully in that situation. 0.89

00:46:32.720 I think it's going to be complicated.

00:46:34.720 But again, I had been ignoring this story because it was one-off.

00:46:40.380 You know, it was tragic, but it didn't seem to me like it was saying anything about the world in general.

00:46:46.400 Just there was one kind of unique and tragic story that happened between two teenagers that you wish hadn't happened.

00:46:55.580 But apparently my name has been pulled into the story.

00:47:00.580 I really just tried to mind my own business on this and just completely stay out of it.

00:47:06.200 But let me read to you what Matt Walsh said in a post on X, and then you can see why I got dragged into it without my willingness.

00:47:19.100 So Matt Walsh posts this.

00:47:20.980 He goes, 0.98

00:47:21.160 Now, I wouldn't go that far to say that they're happy because he killed a white kid. 0.77

00:47:45.880 You know, because black America is a big, diverse group.

00:47:53.840 And it might be true that some percentage have that perspective.

00:48:00.200 But people remember that I got canceled.

00:48:03.780 I got canceled for reading a survey that was data-driven.

00:48:09.380 I didn't make it up that suggested that black Americans had a problem with the white Americans and, you know, didn't think it was even okay to be white.

00:48:21.460 And there was something like 30 or 40 percent of the respondents.

00:48:25.920 So, which is not a majority, but it's an alarming number.

00:48:30.400 And I said, hmm, I don't think you'd want to spend much time around a group of people if 30 percent of them didn't, you know, didn't think it was okay even to be you.

00:48:41.320 And I would say the same thing if you reverse the races. 0.96

00:48:45.300 If, if, I like to use this example.

00:48:48.420 If you were a black professional and you were moving for work and you had a choice of towns to settle in that were both close enough to work.

00:48:57.040 And one of them was known to have a robust Ku Klux Klan entity in it.

00:49:07.240 And the other one did not.

00:49:10.080 Which one are you likely to settle in?

00:49:13.040 You would settle in the one that didn't have one because you would be safer.

00:49:18.420 So, people all make the same kind of decisions.

00:49:21.820 But all I can say is I hope nobody does a poll on this Carmilla Anthony thing because I'm going to get dragged into this so hard.

00:49:29.160 I saw my face was in a bunch of memes.

00:49:32.940 So, people dragged me into it.

00:49:37.160 Which I just think is funny.

00:49:39.820 You know, it doesn't bother me.

00:49:42.560 Anyway, apparently there's some video they have.

00:49:45.980 They think they have video that we haven't seen yet.

00:49:48.300 But one of the questions I would have of this is, was the white kid a bully?

00:49:55.920 Does anybody know that? 0.98

00:49:58.400 Was the white kid a bully? 0.91

00:50:00.900 Because, obviously, that doesn't justify murder. 0.95

00:50:04.780 But I have sort of a trigger.

00:50:07.860 You know, I get triggered by bullies. 0.97

00:50:09.520 And I would think about the situation differently if I knew that the white guy was a bully. 0.86

00:50:16.380 I don't know that. 0.90

00:50:18.240 If it just turns out it was two teenagers doing teenage things and one of them pulled a knife and killed the other, then that's a completely different story.

00:50:27.900 So, anyway, apparently I've become, somebody in the comments says, the face of common sense about race.

00:50:42.040 That would be the nice way to put it.

00:50:44.120 So, I'll take that.

00:50:46.720 RFK Jr. is getting closer to telling us what's causing autism.

00:50:52.340 Do you remember the numbers that when RFK Jr. was a kid, one in, I don't know, 10,000 or something were autistic?

00:51:06.660 But now it's one in, like, 31, which would be roughly one in every classroom.

00:51:13.380 Does that sound right?

00:51:14.760 In your experience, is there one autistic kid in basically every classroom?

00:51:23.300 That does sound true to me.

00:51:26.600 It seems to me it would be hard to imagine an entire classroom of 31 kids without at least one person that was identified as on the autism spectrum.

00:51:40.440 So, I do believe the numbers, I mean, that tracks with observation and experience.

00:51:50.380 But RFK Jr. is sure it's an environmental toxin.

00:51:54.540 He's not committing to it being vaccinations or food or pollution, but it's one of those things or something in the air or the food or something.

00:52:09.080 But he also had a point that was kind of good, because some people said that it might be genetic.

00:52:18.820 And I think his argument, oh, no, somebody said that it might be an artifact of better diagnostic criteria, meaning that maybe we always had the same amount of autism, but we didn't diagnose it the same.

00:52:34.220 So, now all that's different is we diagnose it.

00:52:37.860 And RFK Jr. says, if that's true, that it's only about diagnosing it, why is it not happening in older people?

00:52:47.780 How is it that older people are not being diagnosed with autism, but young people are? 0.98

00:52:53.440 And that's a pretty good point, because if it were only about the diagnostic tools, then people who were 55 would go into the doctor's office and the doctor would say, we've got these new tools, and I can tell you that you've been autistic all your life, and we just couldn't detect it until now or something like that. 0.53

00:53:15.140 But that is not the case.

00:53:45.120 I feel like that.

00:53:47.120 I feel like that's a messed up opinion.

00:53:50.740 You know, it's not like I know RFK Jr. personally, but there's nothing about him that suggests that if he found out it was in the food, he would pretend it was in the vaccinations.

00:54:05.320 I don't think there's any chance of that.

00:54:07.200 And I feel like it's a complete misunderstanding of who he is and what he cares about and why he's doing this.

00:54:15.700 He's trying to solve a real problem.

00:54:18.640 He's not trying to win points. 0.97

00:54:20.380 And he's sacrificing pretty much everything to see if he can fix this damn problem, which, you know, is part of the larger problem of chronic illness. 0.94

00:54:33.540 I think that the one and only thing that Kennedy cares about is getting the right answer. 0.71

00:54:40.020 I don't think that there's even a little part of him that would say, oh, no, my career or my reputation depend on it being vaccinations, so I'm going to pretend it was the vaccinations and throw away the studies that say it's anything else.

00:54:57.740 That just doesn't seem like the guy we've been watching, does it?

00:55:03.500 How many of you think that that would even be like a wild possibility?

00:55:09.760 I think he's one of the people who would say I was 100% wrong.

00:55:13.860 It was in the food and not the vaccinations.

00:55:17.220 So let's go forward.

00:55:20.140 I don't think there's any risk of that.

00:55:22.880 It's a character thing.

00:55:24.200 I think character-wise, he wants to get this right because so much depends on it.

00:55:32.180 I mean, I can't imagine, in my wildest imagination, I can't imagine him trying to rig the results.

00:55:40.000 It just doesn't seem like him at all.

00:55:43.480 So I'm not worried about that, and I'm very curious about what the outcome will be.

00:55:48.620 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:55:50.980 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:55:53.160 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:55:59.480 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:56:05.220 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:56:09.660 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:56:13.140 But you got there on time.

00:56:14.980 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:56:17.620 Certain conditions apply.

00:56:18.540 According to CNN, China's President Xi has made a statement now about the tariffs.

00:56:29.920 And he said this.

00:56:31.460 Yes, for over 70 years, China's development has relied on self-reliance and hard work, never on handouts from others, and is not afraid of any unjust suppression.

00:56:42.560 Regardless of how the external environment changes, China will remain confident, stay focused, and concentrate on managing its own affairs well.

00:56:50.560 He called the trade war unwinnable, but made it clear that China is not going to fold, no matter how hot it gets.

00:56:59.500 Well, nobody said that we were funding China per se.

00:57:04.320 We did say that the trade deals are unfair, which he does not deny.

00:57:11.140 So, yeah, I think he's, you know, weaseling around the accusations.

00:57:20.460 Let's talk about Gaza.

00:57:24.960 Apparently, the Palestinians in general, not just, we're not talking about Hamas, but the Palestinians who were in the West Bank, I guess, and had their own military and had their own political staff.

00:57:39.360 I didn't know this, but the Amuse account is pointing out that the 70% of their funding for their little military and political stuff came from USAID, and that got cut.

00:57:53.300 So now it's a total financial collapse, and they can't pay salaries.

00:57:58.740 Now, how many of you knew that we were paying Palestinian military and Palestinian leaders' salaries?

00:58:12.480 If you had known that, would you have been in favor of doing that?

00:58:16.480 See, it's good that we didn't know as much as we know now about USAID, because we wouldn't have been in favor of much of it.

00:58:23.540 Now, I get the USAID is how we control things.

00:58:28.900 So if we're paying the salaries of the Palestinian leaders, well, they might be a little more likely to do things that our CIA wants them to do. 0.82

00:58:38.600 I get it.

00:58:40.480 On the other hand, it's really tough to ask us to pay the salaries of a military in another country.

00:58:50.280 It's just a hard sell.

00:58:53.740 So you can see why they never were honest about it or forthright.

00:58:58.000 But we'll see where that goes.

00:58:59.840 Now, this is related to a second story.

00:59:04.640 And let's see.

00:59:05.660 This is according to the New York Times.

00:59:07.700 So New York Times says that when Netanyahu was here recently, he was trying to convince the Trump administration to attack Iran in May.

00:59:19.680 And the Trump administration was divided on that.

00:59:23.340 But apparently the decision, which presumably is a Trump decision, Trump told Netanyahu during the White House visit that no American support for military action would happen while negotiations with Tehran continue.

00:59:39.540 Now, does that sound to you like good cop, bad cop?

00:59:45.500 And do you think that's intentional?

00:59:48.040 So the leak in the New York Times is that Netanyahu is planning to definitely attack in May.

00:59:56.440 And he was just trying to get the United States to go, you know, to get on board.

01:00:01.140 Now, I don't think they would do it without American support, but it's not impossible.

01:00:06.040 And then you hear also from the New York Times that Trump said no to the attack as long as Iran is negotiating.

01:00:17.560 Isn't that sort of the perfect good cop, bad cop setup?

01:00:23.740 It's kind of perfect, isn't it?

01:00:25.800 Because if you're Iran, you're saying to yourself, all right, worst case scenario is they attack militarily. 0.67

01:00:31.580 And then you find out they were one yes away from being attacked.

01:00:38.220 All that had to happen was Trump to say yes.

01:00:41.820 And he was talking to an ally who is very close to the United States.

01:00:46.240 They have a good working relationship.

01:00:48.620 And you know that Netanyahu was persuasive, right?

01:00:53.400 Like he went in there with full tools.

01:00:56.760 He's a very persuasive guy in general.

01:00:59.260 And you know that he made a good case for doing it in May.

01:01:04.860 You know he was strong on that.

01:01:08.300 Trump still said no.

01:01:10.580 So if you were Iran, you would say, oh, my God, Netanyahu is the bad cop.

01:01:16.100 So whatever we do, whatever we do, we've got to make sure, you know, his influence is mitigated.

01:01:23.500 And Trump seems to be willing to reach a deal that doesn't involve violence.

01:01:30.100 So we better work with him.

01:01:32.380 It's just perfect good cop, bad cop.

01:01:35.380 Now, but the part I don't know is, was that intentional?

01:01:40.700 In other words, is the New York Times sort of maybe carrying a little water for both Israel and the United States

01:01:47.500 by setting this up as a good cop, bad cop situation, which would be perfect for making a deal.

01:01:56.320 You know, if you wanted to really make a deal and not have military action, this is the perfect framing.

01:02:02.480 And it's coming from the New York Times.

01:02:05.280 So I always am a little bit suspicious when I see a story like this.

01:02:11.040 But I wouldn't consider this anything bad because it might be both true and very useful.

01:02:20.020 The timing might be perfect.

01:02:22.860 Well, according to the Daily Star, one of the captured Chinese soldiers who was fighting for Russia,

01:02:30.180 you've probably heard of this, Russia had some Chinese soldiers.

01:02:33.360 And you might say to yourself, how do they recruit Chinese soldiers?

01:02:38.800 Doesn't it seem like that would be hard to do?

01:02:41.240 Well, this Chinese soldier said that he was, quote, tricked by TikTok videos.

01:02:49.460 So he was convinced to leave his native country and to go to, he didn't know he was going to be in the front line.

01:02:57.100 He thought he'd be in some kind of support role.

01:02:58.920 But he was tricked by TikTok into thinking he would be glamorous to be like part of the Russian military because they look pretty cool.

01:03:08.440 And, you know, he'd really get to see the world and wouldn't be that dangerous.

01:03:13.500 Next thing you know, he has no training whatsoever.

01:03:16.340 They just hand him a gun and they put him in a trench.

01:03:19.560 Nearly gets killed, but he gets captured instead.

01:03:23.320 But according to him, TikTok brainwashed him.

01:03:28.920 How many of you remember me saying, probably how many years ago, TikTok could brainwash you into doing anything?

01:03:38.160 And people would say, that's a little bit hyperbolic.

01:03:43.000 You know, TikTok can't brainwash you into doing something dangerous.

01:03:49.320 Yes, it can.

01:03:50.080 It brainwash this Chinese soldier into going to fight for another country with no training whatsoever in the most dangerous place you could possibly be because TikTok made it look like a good idea. 1.00

01:04:05.680 Yes, TikTok can brainwash you into doing things that are super dangerous for you.

01:04:14.920 Now, it's not going to brainwash every person the same way.

01:04:19.460 But if you're looking at groups of people, absolutely, it could convince you to do any dangerous thing.

01:04:26.940 And we thought, well, that doesn't sound like a risk.

01:04:30.720 Yeah, it's a pretty big risk.

01:04:32.040 Well, Australia alleges they came up with a jam-proof quantum technology that's 50 times more accurate than GPS and can't be jammed.

01:04:46.080 So the reason it can't be jammed is that it's not using the GPS satellites.

01:04:51.100 And it's using some technology that can read the magnetic signals from the Earth.

01:05:00.460 So apparently everything's got a magnetic signal.

01:05:03.940 And they can tell with great certainty where they are based on the magnetic signal.

01:05:14.560 Your comments are wild today.

01:05:19.740 All right.

01:05:20.380 Now, this might seem like a small story because it's just some improvement on GPS.

01:05:28.060 But in a world where all of the weapons are going to be GPS related, it might be a big deal.

01:05:35.660 I mean, it might be the difference between being attacked and not being attacked.

01:05:39.160 If our drones, assuming that Australia let us use that technology,

01:05:44.780 if our drones could not be blocked or jammed, but other people's drones could be,

01:05:53.420 I don't think they'd mess with you because we'd be jamming and they'd be not jamming.

01:05:58.340 We'd be jamming.

01:05:59.580 I feel like I'm writing a song.

01:06:01.920 We'd be jamming.

01:06:03.800 Jamming.

01:06:04.280 Okay.

01:06:05.200 No, that's not a song.

01:06:08.000 So that's a big wild card coming for the military situation.

01:06:15.300 I guess somebody found a big Chinese facility that nobody had seen.

01:06:23.420 And somebody spotted another one that has submarines.

01:06:26.480 And it's weird that we're just spotting gigantic military facilities in China.

01:06:33.660 Like we didn't know them.

01:06:35.100 We didn't know before.

01:06:36.600 They're gigantic.

01:06:38.660 That's weird.

01:06:40.660 So couldn't they still be shot down?

01:06:44.580 Yeah, they could still be shot down, but they couldn't be stopped from finding their target.

01:06:50.500 So that's what you really want to do. 0.99

01:06:52.740 Shooting them down is the last choice. 0.99

01:06:54.540 The first choice is to jam them so that they can't find their target. 1.00

01:06:58.620 But yes, you could always shoot them down. 0.98

01:07:02.140 All right.

01:07:02.800 Ladies and gentlemen, that is all I wanted to say today.

01:07:10.120 Hope you had fun.

01:07:12.580 And I'm going to talk privately to the local subscribers now because they're so special in a good way.

01:07:21.760 So thanks for joining on YouTube and Rumble and X.

01:07:25.260 I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

01:07:27.320 And locals, coming at you privately in 30 seconds.
