Transcript
00:00:00.000
let's check your stocks stocks are down so don't check your stocks yeah don't do that
00:00:08.400
all right we'll do a show as soon as i got my comments working here
00:00:13.240
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of
00:00:29.780
human civilization cinco de mayo version if you'd like to take this experience up to levels and
00:00:37.520
nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny brains all you need is a cup or mugger a glass of
00:00:42.880
tanker gels justine a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i
00:00:49.400
like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine in it the day the thing
00:00:54.620
makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go
00:01:04.860
well you'd be surprised to hear that according to daily coffee news
00:01:14.100
there was a study of six thousand adults and they found out that coffee does have a protective effect
00:01:23.180
against dementia so if uh if my audience has a low level of dementia now you know why it's all the
00:01:33.200
coffee i saw a post on x from the the government office of nuclear energy and they were touting this
00:01:44.080
micro reactor a nuclear micro reactor called the marvel and it's the size of a car
00:01:53.200
and it has enough energy to power 10 homes now does that sound like something that could be practical
00:02:01.840
so it's only the size of a car but it's a nuclear you know power plant but it can only power 10 homes
00:02:09.600
the the question that jumps down is how long does it last how hard is it to do maintenance
00:02:18.400
and then what do you do with the waste when it's done i'm sure they have answers to that but uh i don't
00:02:25.760
know if i would do the nuclear micro reactor before i did the solar panels and the tesla battery
00:02:33.840
i might go for the battery first although i was a little afraid of batteries because there's a
00:02:38.880
small but real risk of fire from a battery i don't know what the odds are but not very high
00:02:46.400
speaking of batteries and speaking of tesla um wonderful engineering is reporting that
00:02:52.240
there's a new tesla 4680 battery that was uh i think first teased in 2020 so if you're if you're
00:03:02.800
looking for how long does it take um a technical breakthrough to become a product about five years even
00:03:12.400
if you're tesla so apparently this battery is way more efficient and it's simpler to assemble and
00:03:18.640
and it boosts your energy efficiency and it's going to be in tesla soon so every time you hear me say
00:03:27.440
there's another breakthrough in battery technology you can add five to seven years before you'll see it
00:03:35.680
of course i saw a post by mario nawfall i i see a lot of the news on his posts on x they're very
00:03:43.840
excellent by the way you should follow if you're not following mario nawfall n-a-w-f-a-l you really
00:03:52.240
should because uh he summarizes the news better than anybody i've seen anyway one of the things that
00:03:59.760
he highlighted was uh there's an ai scanner that can identify disease and people before they even feel
00:04:07.360
bad so i guess it takes 2 000 images in 20 seconds it's got 70 sensors and 50 million data points
00:04:16.960
and it's already it's already worked it's flagged major health problems and people who looked totally
00:04:22.160
fine i'm not sure i want to know you know there's there's always for a while now there's been a
00:04:31.280
technology where you can get a private full body scan just in case there's anything going on in your
00:04:37.520
body that you didn't know about but um a lot of people found that when they did those scans they would
00:04:45.680
kind of routinely find things they didn't know about and then they'd be all panicked about well no
00:04:51.280
what's wrong with my liver even if there's nothing wrong well target the store according to the
00:04:57.760
post-millennial is going to cut back on the the self-checkout guess why why do you think target
00:05:06.960
stores are going to get rid of their self-checkout now they say cut back but i think that means in
00:05:13.680
certain locations they'll get rid of it it's because of theft so apparently people just pretend they're
00:05:21.680
self-checking and then just take their stuff it's theft yeah so i think that probably has everything
00:05:30.720
to do with the location of the store and you know in my neighborhood probably even in my neighborhood
00:05:37.920
there'd be a little theft but probably not a lot um here's an update on tick tock did you does it seem
00:05:46.880
like the tick tock story just sort of disappeared you know for a long time there was all this activity
00:05:54.560
and there were people putting together offers and and then it just sort of disappeared and i think
00:06:01.760
what's going on is that china is not going to say yes to a tick tock merger or purchase as long as our
00:06:10.000
trade war is going on so trump is uh likely going to extend again the uh the deadline for tick tock to
00:06:19.440
find the buyer um but uh he's very pro tick tock because tick tock was was good to him in the election
00:06:28.160
anyway so apparently the uh the p diddy trial starts today they're gonna do uh they're gonna look for jurors
00:06:37.120
and i was thinking to myself i can't think of a trial i would less want to be on
00:06:45.360
because you would hear things that would just disturb you for the rest of your life
00:06:51.840
and probably there's gonna be pictures and images and oh my god but on top of that i would also be
00:06:58.880
worried about being murdered is that a good enough reason to not serve on a jury
00:07:07.360
has anybody ever said you know i wouldn't mind serving on the jury but i don't want to get
00:07:13.600
murdered i was thinking about that because uh some time ago i was uh famous for uh the dilber stuff
00:07:23.040
so i was already well known and i went to jury duty and the the case was about uh a meth dealer
00:07:32.160
who was uh well armed so he had guns and he was a meth dealer and i thought to myself
00:07:42.640
what is different between me and all these other jurors
00:07:47.520
the thing that's different is he could probably figure out who i am
00:07:51.360
and if i put him in jail what happens when he gets out he's gonna know exactly one person who
00:08:00.640
who voted to put him in jail i thought that doesn't seem like the safest thing in the world i'd rather
00:08:05.920
be anonymous so that's one of the things you think about when you're a public figure is if you do jury
00:08:13.040
duty the defendant knows who you are and they know how to find you that's not that's not a comfortable
00:08:20.560
situation so i wouldn't want to be in the ditty jury so stephen a smith is still teasing a run for
00:08:29.200
president i don't think he's gonna do it but um i i love the fact that he's using the donald trump
00:08:35.840
method where for years he just keeps teasing like he's gonna do it and it's probably really good for
00:08:43.200
his ratings and you know his image and everything but uh he said uh i believe that if i did take this
00:08:51.040
very very seriously and i moved forward and i decided that i wanted to be a politician do i believe i
00:08:57.680
could win you're damn right maybe he could but he said that the democratic party would need to be
00:09:05.280
quote purged before he could run as a democrat i guess he's a registered independent but he would
00:09:11.840
run as democrat now what do you think that means purged
00:09:19.600
it looks to me like everybody involved in the democratic party at the leadership level
00:09:25.440
is a negative if you can name them in other words if you know that their name
00:09:32.480
and they're a democrat leader they're probably more negative than positive because they don't have
00:09:38.240
much of a bench there so what he says purged i think that would be the top 30 famous people
00:09:47.760
you'd have to get rid of all of them before you'd be willing to run so i don't think he's going to run
00:09:52.880
for president there's a new gizmo according to new atlas uh that shoots uv light at your food in your
00:10:02.160
refrigerator and it will keep your food fresher longer because the uv light kills whatever germs
00:10:09.120
it is that spoils your food and it made me wonder um i don't know about you but i like to have
00:10:16.800
fresh fruit and stuff and if you buy let's say two or three different kinds of fresh fruit it's hard
00:10:27.280
to eat them before they go bad so couldn't people cut their food costs down quite a bit by never having
00:10:36.800
anything go bad in their refrigerator i feel like you could save money on this somehow it's not
00:10:42.720
so this thing is uh it's been invented and it works but makes me want my entire refrigerator to have
00:10:51.360
that uv light ontario the wait is over the gold standard of online casinos has arrived golden nugget

00:11:54.320
all right so as you know the democrats say that republicans want to cut medicaid
00:12:02.240
but trump says he's not going to come medicaid and you know the leaders say we're not going to come
00:12:07.280
medicaid maybe just some fraud and abuse but we're not going to cut the benefits
00:12:14.080
but it turns out that the people noodling over the budget the republicans noodling over the budget
00:12:20.720
are looking at maybe capping how much the federal government covers for the states so medicaid is kind of
00:12:30.000
a state thing that is partially funded by the federal government
00:12:34.240
and so the weasels the uh the weasels in the republican party and it's not all of them but we
00:12:43.200
don't know which ones some of these weasels are coming up with an idea of balancing the budget by just
00:12:49.840
moving the expense onto the states so in other words they say well the most we can pay you california
00:12:57.040
is this per person and it will never go up i guess at the moment the federal government pays for whatever
00:13:05.200
it is so whatever the amount is that's the actual amount the federal government just writes its check
00:13:12.000
for its portion of it but if they said all right we're going to cap it we'll only pay this much per
00:13:17.920
person that would mean that all the extra costs would move to the states and i think to myself are
00:13:25.920
the republicans really going to try that i don't think they will but that would be the most weaselly
00:13:33.360
disgusting thing i've ever seen so somebody's you're saying it's a smart move it's not a smart move
00:13:41.600
because it would just bankrupt the states but and you you know as a resident i'd still
00:13:51.920
some kind of dog fight going on outside as a resident i would still have to pay for it
00:13:57.520
so if i'm paying the same amount i don't care if it's the federal government so this is very weaselly
00:14:04.320
but uh i don't see how they get to any kind of a decent budget without cutting stuff and it looks
00:14:12.160
like they can't cut stuff according to the gateway pundit uh you know your favorite uh new york
00:14:21.120
attorney general letitia james i guess she's working with some other attorney generals and they're
00:14:27.360
they're going to come up with a lawsuit against trump and the lawsuit will be to prevent him from
00:14:35.120
cutting health and human services so to prevent him from cutting health care funding
00:14:42.560
don't they need to wait until there's actually a budget
00:14:46.240
so they're planning to sue him over the cuts that he says he's not going to make
00:14:51.440
now that's that's pretty aggressive so good luck letitia james i think uh she can stay out of jail
00:15:01.680
with her own problems that would be a good success um apparently one of the things that doge succeeded at
00:15:12.080
that maybe they'll never get enough credit is they put it in a they put in an automated payment
00:15:17.760
verification system in the treasury so it used to be that if somebody submitted something for payment
00:15:24.880
it just got paid there was nobody checking to see if it was a legitimate charge and in the first first
00:15:33.440
week alone it blocked uh 334 million in improper payments i got this from the amuse account on x
00:15:43.280
now do you does that sound real do you think that in the first week just one week that there were 334
00:15:54.320
million improper payments or is it more likely that they might have been you know a mix of proper and
00:16:02.800
improper payments but some of them had the wrong code on them or somebody didn't follow the rules
00:16:07.840
i don't know there's been a lot of over claims on the doge stuff so i'd be a little careful on that one
00:16:18.000
but you know as i said i think the big benefit of doge is just the idea that there should be somebody
00:16:26.080
checking the expenses and that they'll put something in in place to do it like that
00:16:31.280
well there's a uh somebody who worked on doge is has created a startup um that's going to try to to
00:16:41.840
replace a bunch of government workers with ai agents so we're we're finally at the point where that's
00:16:50.080
on the border of being practical and apparently you would save some immense amount of money but the best
00:16:57.200
thing would be if you had to reach somebody in the government instead of that being you know one
00:17:04.000
person or a limited number of persons that everybody would be able to get through to the ai agent
00:17:14.080
all right fixed uh seems like poltergeist some kind of poltergeist problem anyway so this uh
00:17:28.240
according to wired they've got an article on it so this is good this could be kind of exciting
00:17:35.440
because it's the right person you know somebody who was involved with doge so they got to figure out
00:17:42.160
all the places in the government that you could put an ai agent could be a big could be a big money
00:17:49.120
saver we'll see well 60 minutes had some more uh fake news on trump well maybe not fake news we'll say
00:18:00.720
news and a context now remember i always tell you that if you know what happened you don't know anything
00:18:08.000
but if you know the people involved and you know something about them then probably you understand
00:18:15.200
the situation and here's a perfect example of that so scott pelly on 60 minutes uh was interviewing
00:18:25.840
a far-left activist judge called mark elias how many of you are familiar with that name
00:18:32.640
a lawyer named mark elias does that ring any bells um but he was there to talk about uh trump's assault
00:18:44.640
on the legal profession and how trump is threatening the rule of law itself
00:18:52.240
so that that was you know basically they used him as their source
00:18:57.120
to say how bad trump was and you know going after the rule of law now here's what they they did not
00:19:05.200
include and this this comes from joel pollack uh he posted on x elias is the russian hoax russia hoaxer
00:19:17.600
plotted the vote by mail fiasco and the lawfare against trump uh as well as any lawyers who helped him
00:19:25.760
and that was never mentioned tell me where was this concern about targeting lawyers when trump
00:19:32.320
attorneys were being bullied and hit with phony bar complaints now don't you think that 60 minutes
00:19:39.120
should have mentioned that that that mark elias is not just your average lawyer he was deeply involved
00:19:47.920
in doing things that ordinary people think that looks pretty sketchy so i think that was a big big omission
00:19:58.400
there um trump has uh also confirmed that he was pushing to send u.s troops into mexico to help fight the
00:20:08.240
drug cartels but i don't think mexico said yes to that but that uh offer is still out there
00:20:14.640
some people say but wait we we wanted trump because he would not start any wars but he was
00:20:23.840
when he was running for office he did say he would send the military into mexico if he had to
00:20:28.960
so it shouldn't be a surprise um he's been saying it directly for a while well trump has a new proposal
00:20:38.480
he says that uh he wants alcatraz to be reopened um so that we can put some of our worst prisoners in
00:20:46.960
there now this might be his worst idea he's ever had because alcatraz is the least efficient place you
00:20:56.960
could put somebody because you know it's it's in the water you have to get there by boat uh it's super
00:21:04.000
old so you couldn't really bring it up to standards very easily and i don't even know if he's serious to
00:21:13.280
me to me it looks like it's one of those things where he just threw it out there without too much
00:21:19.040
research or none and uh he's just letting the media chew on it for a while because if you check the uh
00:21:27.760
political news it's definitely taking up space so i think that all the democrats are going to be like
00:21:37.200
oh we've got him now he doesn't know that that's a bad idea but maybe he does i don't know you know
00:21:46.000
i'm not going to say it's 4d chess i think it's more like he just likes throwing things at the wall
00:21:52.000
and making the media chase after it so apparently uh alcatraz would hold fewer than 400 prisoners
00:22:02.000
and of a population of 1.8 million or so who are in jail at the moment in the u.s
00:22:10.640
and one of the reasons it was closed in the first place is it cost about three times as much
00:22:16.640
to run that prison as other prisons i don't know if that changed so i'm going to say the alcatraz idea
00:22:23.600
is a terrible idea but i don't know how serious he was he might be just getting the media to
00:22:31.440
talk about something that's unimportant um the other here's another thing i'm uncomfortable with
00:22:40.000
i i don't know the details but apparently many of the trump family members are involved with crypto
00:22:48.160
at the same time that trump has dismantled a lot of the crypto regulatory structure
00:22:55.200
and at the same time that he's you know i think he's also got crypto and how many of you are okay
00:23:04.400
with that because it does look like trying to make money from your office you know the family making
00:23:14.720
money as well now i think it's a little transparent in other words i don't believe anything's hidden
00:23:21.520
you know nobody's trying to pull one over on you but and as far as i know it's legal
00:23:27.920
there's nothing preventing any of them from doing it but does it make you feel uncomfortable
00:23:34.960
i i don't think this is a ideal situation i don't love trump being you know full crypto and his family
00:23:44.080
being big on crypto uh without us i don't know it just seems like the whole area is too sketchy
00:23:58.720
trump also said he's going to order a uh 100 tariff on all movies produced outside the u.s
00:24:07.440
because as you know california in particular has priced itself out of the movie making business
00:24:14.160
it's just too expensive to make movies in california so nobody does it anymore
00:24:18.240
um but if you do it overseas you can get a hundred percent tariff and in related news the mayor of
00:24:28.400
la karen bass uh says she's working to cut fees and red tape for people to make movies in the la area
00:24:39.200
and uh looking to triple the tax subsidy for movie making i don't know i'm just not entirely sure
00:24:48.240
that um trump just didn't end all movies because if the only place that you can make the movie
00:24:57.040
is overseas you know go to canada or something like that and trump just made that too expensive
00:25:05.040
does that necessarily mean that people will do it in california which is also too expensive
00:25:10.000
or does it mean they just won't make movies so i worry that the current situation would just make it
00:25:19.760
impossible to make a movie so not that you're missing much really movies are terrible these days
00:25:27.440
um so trump trump uh said something else that is going to cause the latest hoax uh so he was talking to
00:25:42.000
kristen uh welker uh cbs news so this was the other day and uh she said your secretary of state says
00:25:50.720
everyone who's here citizens and non-citizens deserve due process do you agree and trump said i don't
00:25:57.680
know i'm not a lawyer i don't know and welker said don't you need to uphold the constitution
00:26:04.480
and trump said i don't know now that was interpreted by the democrat leadership who were all weasels
00:26:13.600
as he wasn't sure he would want to uphold the constitution is that how you interpret that
00:26:21.200
that's that's not how i interpret it i interpreted it as he's going to wait for the lawyers to tell him
00:26:26.960
what to do and then he'll do what the lawyers say so he doesn't know he's not a lawyer so um
00:26:35.040
does he need to uphold the constitution or is it not in the constitution i don't know and i also don't know
00:26:43.760
is there anything he needs to do because it's in the constitution or are the things he needs to do
00:26:51.280
but they're not necessarily in the constitution i don't know so he could have answered that question
00:26:58.400
a little bit more cleanly but you know chuck schumer's already going full hoax on that well he
00:27:04.560
doesn't want to uphold the constitution which is of course not what he intended i'm sure
00:27:12.800
um all right so you've heard this before but it's been reported again by liberty nation news
00:27:25.680
that uh we're negotiating with the uk for a new trade deal but i guess jd vance has laid down the uh
00:27:34.720
the rule that we're not going to do a trade deal unless the uk gets rid of its uh hate speech rules
00:27:43.360
that affect could affect americans and i'm completely for that um we shouldn't do any business at all
00:27:51.920
with any country that's trying to take away our first amendment rights when they're not even in our
00:27:57.760
country that they would just use their foreign influence to suppress platforms for example and
00:28:06.560
maybe even individuals so yes jd vance i think you're on the right path there
00:28:12.240
well there's a story which i'm sure to get wrong about a bill that was being introduced but i guess
00:28:20.480
it's been withdrawn at least for this week it's not dead but i think they may have to clarify it a
00:28:27.040
little bit it's hr 867 and thomas massey and marjorie taylor green have already said no no way um so
00:28:37.120
you want me to tell you what this new bill would do and here's the fun part of the story
00:28:46.080
a lot of smart people on x don't agree on what the bill even says so i'll take a shot at it
00:28:54.320
but be aware that everybody who's talked about it so far seems to have a slightly different
00:29:00.160
interpretation of what it even is so what are the odds i'm going to get this right low
00:29:07.280
so you should put a low uh low credibility on my interpretation of it okay
00:29:15.360
but what i think it is is they're trying to make it
00:29:22.640
i won't say criminalized because it's not being criminalized but they would put a financial penalty
00:29:30.480
on american companies but not individuals so this is not about individuals this is about
00:29:36.720
companies if those companies um get into a boycott of a foreign um let's say an ally now everybody
00:29:48.960
knows that we're really talking about israel but i don't think it mentions israel by name
00:29:56.880
a international body of governments so in other words the un would be sort of an international body
00:30:07.440
of bunch of governments so if the un said hey you need to join a boycott against israel
00:30:14.800
and then a u.s company said all right we're in then uh if this bill were passed they would be
00:30:23.120
uh penalized financially now apparently this is not that big of a change from current law
00:30:33.040
because my understanding is that current law um already bans you from being part of a boycott
00:30:41.280
that's organized by a foreign government so all this does is take the foreign government part
00:30:48.160
and say well also if it's a organization of multiple governments so i think that's the only thing is
00:30:56.800
changing so it's not changing anything for an individual you as an individual can boycott anybody
00:31:03.680
you want and you can say anything you want but if you were a business and you take a you take the lead
00:31:12.160
from another foreign government that was already uh that was already something you could be penalized for
00:31:19.040
but now it's just extended to groups you know organizations of governments i guess now because
00:31:27.040
this was so confusing i think it probably made sense for them to withdraw it it was it was just a little
00:31:35.840
it just felt like it was something else now part of the uh part of the controversy is that it treats
00:31:46.320
israel special even though it doesn't because it doesn't mention israel but everybody knows that's the
00:31:52.560
only the only ally that's likely to be boycotted so so i think that's where massey and mtg might be coming
00:32:01.520
from they might be coming from why would you take away an american company's freedom to boycott anybody
00:32:08.960
they wanted for any reason they wanted whether it was organized by another country or organized by another
00:32:16.560
organization of countries why would you take that right away from them and i don't know the answer to
00:32:24.080
that question but it's good question so but but apparently we have some precedence because the uh there was
00:32:33.120
already a penalty if you if you did it and a foreign government was organizing it yeah anyway um there's a new
00:32:43.440
book that's telling us a little bit more about biden's cognitive situation now i feel like all of these books
00:32:53.120
the new ones about you know what was really happening behind the scenes during the the biden uh time
00:33:01.200
i feel like all of them are some version of trying to make the authors look like there's a reason they
00:33:08.800
didn't notice there was something wrong with his brain so this new book says that uh biden's team actually
00:33:17.520
thought of giving him a cognitive test in february of 2024 but they decided not to because if they gave
00:33:25.040
him a cognitive test it would sort of draw attention to the fact that maybe he needed a cognitive test
00:33:32.720
but at the time they're still pretending that people didn't know he had a problem
00:33:37.280
and so the book is uh 2024 how trump retook the white house and the democrats lost america so it's coming
00:33:46.240
out in july and um but but i feel like you know just based on some some uh summaries of the book
00:33:59.520
it kind of looks like it's trying to give the writers of the book there are three reporters from
00:34:06.000
washington post and uh wall street journal and the new york times so three three reporters i feel like
00:34:15.280
it's just trying to give cover like it i think the official story now is that the first time anybody
00:34:24.400
noticed anything was wrong is when they were prepping biden for the debate that went terribly wrong
00:34:31.600
and that besides that other than that nobody noticed anything wrong and and watching the the
00:34:40.880
massive gas lighting that's happening about this when all of us could see that there was something
00:34:46.160
wrong with him is really impressive i mean there's a lot of work going into covering up the probably
00:34:54.480
the biggest scandal of uh in politics in our lifetime i don't know if there's a bigger scandal than that
00:35:01.520
and they're actually trying to make it completely go away like well it was nothing to see i mean
00:35:07.920
you know we we didn't notice jen saki said i never noticed anything i didn't see anything wrong
00:35:13.360
unbelievable well trump also made a little extra news talking to kristen welker the same interview
00:35:23.120
that i was mentioning and she asked him are are you uh not ruling out military force to take greenland
00:35:30.480
one day and trump said i don't rule it out i don't say i'm going to do it but i don't rule out anything
00:35:37.280
uh no not there we need greenland very badly greenland is a very small amount of people
00:35:43.280
which we'll take care of and we'll cherish them that's such a trump thing to say we'll cherish them
00:35:51.920
and and all of that he says we'll cherish them and all of that but we need that for international
00:35:58.800
security now of course the follow-up question is do you want to take canada by military force and
00:36:06.800
although trump doesn't like to rule anything out he definitely ruled that out he said no we're not
00:36:13.760
going to take canada by military force i don't think he's going to take greenland by military force
00:36:21.680
but having the credible threat out there might cause a little bit of negotiating um advantage we'll see

00:36:48.240
well according to the defense post the u.s military is not ready to defend against drone attacks on our
00:36:56.080
bases i guess we've got pretty good offensive drones but we don't have much of a drone defense
00:37:03.680
so if anybody did some massive drone attacks on our bases we'd be in trouble
00:37:09.920
and there have been 350 drone incursions meaning over a military area i guess reported over 100 u.s military
00:37:19.440
installations in the past year alone now that doesn't mean that those are foreign drones
00:37:25.760
we probably just don't know but that's a lot of incursions
00:37:32.240
so i'd be worried about that it's all about the drones
00:37:41.680
uh the european union is going to announce a roadmap for getting off of russia oil and gas
00:37:51.360
to which i said wait what are you telling me that the european union is still buying
00:37:58.640
russian oil and gas so would that mean that they're funding both sides of the war
00:38:05.440
apparently europe's getting around 19 of its gas from russia 19 now they're trying to get off it
00:38:18.880
but that would very clearly indicate that the european union was funding both sides of the war
00:38:26.880
because they were you know directly funding ukraine and then indirectly funding russia by buying their
00:38:38.320
that to me that sounds so crazy it just sounds insane and i understand it i mean in the real world
00:38:45.760
you can't not have gas and it's not easy to make a change and if russia is willing to sell it to you
00:38:51.440
well what are you going to do but like if you ever thought that war was stupid
00:38:58.720
this is the best war is stupid anecdote you'll ever have
00:39:04.000
that the european union was funding both sides of the war oh my god anyway
00:39:19.600
he said this if trump isn't a russian asset one wonders how he could do a better impression of one
00:39:26.560
he's doing exactly what putin would want doesn't trump have massive sanctions on russia
00:39:35.360
didn't trump sell the first deadly weapons to ukraine long before the invasion
00:39:41.680
um didn't trump just make a mineral deal with ukraine that presumably it was not very popular with putin
00:39:53.280
um it doesn't look to me like he's uh he's doing everything that putin wants but uh poor sam harris
00:40:03.680
uh i just worry about him because he just looks it looks like mental illness is what it looks like
00:40:19.280
uh sends oh i'm just looking at a post coming through from the amuse account uh according to the
00:40:26.480
amuse account uh the e the eu is sending more money to russia each year than it sends to ukraine
00:40:44.000
all right well uh so i don't think that that holds up but
00:40:49.920
but i don't think uh also that we're going to be negotiating negotiating any kind of a peace deal
00:40:55.840
with russia and ukraine i think they're just gonna have to fight it out
00:41:00.000
well the rudis have uh taken it up a level you know they sent a missile
00:41:12.960
and they exploded near the ben gurion airport and now their hoodie spokesperson
00:41:19.200
um is saying that uh they're basically trying to close down
00:41:25.360
israel in terms of airspace so they want to make it too dangerous for anybody to
00:41:32.000
fly into or out of israel and they're vowing repeated strikes on airports to enforce their siege
00:41:38.560
now are are the hootis just sort of asking for it apparently the continuous bombing by the united states
00:41:51.600
is just making them you know more likely to be bad so i guess it doesn't help at all to attack them
00:42:12.320
i mean if they succeed in making a commercial aircraft not want to land in israel doesn't israel
00:42:22.080
have to just wipe out the hoodies because because they can't really live there as a country
00:42:28.720
with some other country closing their airports i mean i think they're gonna have to go pretty hard
00:42:34.240
at the hoodies or if the united states doesn't do it for them anyway so israel's already threatened to
00:42:41.600
respond sevenfold this is according to al jazeera
00:42:47.360
um trump says what he wants from the iran deal is a total dismantling of the iran nukes
00:42:53.520
um but he's open to iran having a civilian nuclear energy as long as they're not refining the
00:43:02.480
doing any refining just getting the materials from foreign countries i guess that would be safer
00:43:09.120
um his goal is total dismantlement do you think that's going to happen
00:43:14.480
do you think iran is going to agree to um just have commercial commercial nuclear power
00:43:26.800
i don't i don't think so i feel like iran is just sort of tapping along but here's something i wasn't
00:43:34.240
expecting um senator fetterman is all in for an attack on iran he posted on x
00:43:41.280
we cannot negotiate with iran it's time to destroy their nuclear program and neutralize the remaining
00:43:47.600
capabilities of its proxies i remain steadfast with israel provide whatever is necessary to carry this
00:43:54.720
out now does that sound like he's our senator or does that just sound like he's working for israel
00:44:03.680
you know i hate to be the i hate to be the guy who says oh our politicians are you know just working
00:44:11.840
for israel but why would he talk like this he's talking exactly like he's just a politician in israel
00:44:22.320
um i'll tell you i i definitely don't trust him after this because i had to i had kind of a
00:44:29.600
positive opinion of him because he was sort of commonsensical but he doesn't seem to be america first
00:44:37.280
uh this this definitely looks like israel first so i don't know you put that in your uh fetterman
00:44:52.480
well according to wall street journal israel's uh security cabinet voted to uh approve new ground
00:45:02.400
operations in gaza that would include occupying the gaza strip now the way it's written it would
00:45:11.120
suggest that the israeli military and other resources would essentially occupy and be in control on the
00:45:19.520
ground in gaza but they're still acting like the civilian population of gazans would still be there
00:45:28.880
i'm not sure that's the intention i've got a feeling that at some point uh israel will clear out all the
00:45:37.360
tunnels because you know they have to have some presence there to actually get rid of the tunnels and
00:45:43.040
the last of hamas but then it's going to be way too dangerous to let anybody back in because
00:45:49.200
there'll be so much toxic everything because everything's destroyed so i've got a feeling
00:45:54.720
that the next play will be that uh well we can't let the residents come back right away because it's
00:46:02.240
going to take a few years to clean this up we better find some other place to put them in another country
00:46:09.360
i just don't see the gaza residents ever going back to gaza i i think israel is just gonna
00:46:16.000
control it and depopulate it and then build back something and i don't know who's going to be there
00:46:24.080
but it won't be the hamas loving population that was there
00:46:30.800
um that's just my guess yeah i've got some questions about the trade negotiations with china
00:46:39.120
one of our problems with china trade is that they steal our ip you know they steal our ideas and
00:46:46.720
they steal our technology and stuff and i thought if that's one of the big things that we need to get
00:46:52.560
fixed how could that possibly be fixed because i don't believe there's any mechanism i don't think
00:47:01.840
there's a court that we would trust that wouldn't just be you know chinese puppet court
00:47:07.120
um how would we ever build a system that we were satisfied that would prevent china from stealing
00:47:14.800
our ip what would stop them from doing it that because mostly i think they would just say we don't
00:47:21.840
do that i think that's the best you're gonna get oh no we'd never do that no no oh okay maybe one company did that oh no oh no a second company did it well
00:47:35.120
yeah we'll tell them to cut that out i don't think that's solvable so unless you built some like
00:47:43.840
international body that china was willing to give up some sovereignty to and i can't imagine that happening
00:47:51.920
and if it were a chinese court let's say china said all right we'll start we'll start our own court
00:47:59.120
that only handles these ip complaints would you ever trust it because the chinese court would probably
00:48:08.160
rule for the chinese company every time so to me this seems unsolvable um i feel like we just have to run
00:48:31.600
and then they're also china's also talking about the fentanyl i don't believe that's real either
00:48:39.200
i think china just wants to act like they're doing something like they have before
00:48:44.160
and just keep the fentanyl flowing so i think that that's probably a non-starter
00:48:52.320
i don't know if we could ever reach a deal with china if we're if we're serious about fentanyl and
00:48:59.040
we're serious about the theft of ip i don't know what that would even look like you know it's easy to
00:49:06.320
imagine a deal that has to do with tariffs because you just say okay whatever your tariff is that'll be our
00:49:12.080
tariff too or something like that but these other things are actually unsolvable because china would
00:49:18.000
have no interest in solving them whatsoever and so they could just pretend they were doing something
00:49:23.840
and not do anything so that's all i got for today it's a it's a weird day in the news um i'm going to
00:49:33.680
say a few words privately to the subscribers on locals and the rest of you thanks for joining
00:49:40.720
we'll see you same time tomorrow if you're on x or rumble or youtube and locals coming at you privately
