00:00:16.080
looking good i guess we should have a show do you want to have a show
00:00:22.960
get my comments working here and then we'll get going
00:00:26.640
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:48.480
coffee with scott adams and i'll bet you never had a better time but if you'd like to see if
00:00:54.960
you could take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny
00:01:00.320
human brains all you need for that is a copper mugger a glass of tanker chalice dine a canteen
00:01:07.040
jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee
00:01:13.680
and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine end of the day is the thing that makes
00:01:18.800
everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and darn it it's gonna happen right now go
00:01:24.960
don't you feel better that will cure your diabetes and women that's the latest news
00:01:39.360
well unless you're the last person on earth who knows it an american pope was selected we've never
00:01:46.640
had an american pope and i heard some uh people who know what they're talking about say
00:01:53.520
that in the past when they considered american candidates to be pope i guess that would
00:01:59.360
have been the cardinals they decided that they didn't want to make it look like america owned
00:02:05.520
everything like america has the biggest military has the biggest economy and they didn't want it also to
00:02:12.000
be looking like it was leading the catholic church so apparently the thinking was that they wouldn't uh
00:02:22.320
select an american pope until america was in decline
00:02:28.480
so it didn't look just so it wouldn't look like america was getting everything all the good stuff
00:02:33.200
so well i don't know is american decline as the catholic church just basically indirectly given us the
00:02:44.400
warning yeah i guess we could have an american pope now looks like you're all in decline
00:02:50.000
let's see if this is working but uh the american pope i guess he uh grew up in chicago and went to villanova and he was a math major and he speaks five languages
00:03:05.760
and uh good luck good luck to him we'll see you know it it feels like i'm just gonna speculate
00:03:17.840
um it feels like if the catholic church wanted to have more influence
00:03:23.440
in let's say big things that america is involved in it probably would help a lot
00:03:31.120
that they've got an american pope because don't you think the american pope somebody else said this
00:03:37.120
i'm borrowing this idea don't you think the american pope could pick up the phone and just call trump
00:03:45.920
of course he could they could just have a phone call whereas i don't think there's ever been a pope
00:03:54.400
is there when was the last time there was a pope who
00:03:57.840
spoke english and well there's never been an american one so you know trump would take the call
00:04:04.240
and he'd probably just hang out hang out with him if he wanted to you'd probably have dinner with him
00:04:10.880
so it might be one of the most genius things the catholics have come up with
00:04:16.000
if they want to have some kind of more influence on things they care about like immigration uh the
00:04:22.400
environment etc so we'll see how that works out in other incredibly important news melania trump
00:04:34.400
so i guess i was a little uh dicey about who would be unveiling it because you know
00:04:45.360
president trump has said such bad things about the bush family in the past he was the wrong choice
00:04:51.040
so melania was probably exactly the right choice um and not many of the bush family showed up i guess
00:04:58.960
some cousins or something showed up um but all i can say about the barbara bush stamp is
00:05:07.200
personally i'd be afraid to lick it but that's just me that's just me
00:05:12.720
that's the oldest joke in the world you knew somebody was going to say that um according to
00:05:21.520
the new york post there's this uh this top x nasa official who claims they saw a large white flying
00:05:30.720
saucer uh in a big warehouse that had a u.s air force logo and he was told it was using the alien
00:05:39.200
technology that they had captured so he claims that he uh he once actually saw it himself uh dr gregory
00:05:50.320
rogers and it was part of a secretive project now how many of you think that's true do you think
00:06:02.000
this story is true and the u.s air force you know built their own ufo based on alien
00:06:16.800
i don't care how many times they try to tell us the same story
00:06:20.960
no i'm not even sure i would believe a video of it like i would need to see you like a real person
00:06:29.760
who was not part of the military i think standing next to it he's some credible reporter you know put
00:06:35.760
his hands on it you know right around in it show us the alien craft it would take so so much
00:06:44.800
to convince me that we had captured that off-world alien technology and built a spacecraft
00:06:52.480
and then we don't use it because apparently this would have been 30 years ago
00:06:56.720
so do you think we've had alien technology for 30 years and it's really the good stuff and for 30 years
00:07:12.960
i don't believe any of this stuff not even a little bit uh two hour podcast with bob lazar
00:07:19.440
uh wouldn't change your mind no bob lazar are you kidding me how many of you think bob lazar is
00:07:36.480
well last night was the weirdest uh i almost actually i couldn't sleep because i kept thinking
00:07:43.680
about it yeah i was gonna say i almost couldn't sleep but it actually kept me awake for a while
00:07:50.480
so by complete coincidence i'm toddling around getting ready to go to bed early as i like to do
00:07:58.400
and i had fox news on and uh there was uh one of the fox news contributors i guess maybe contributor
00:08:08.640
is the right word cameron kinsey she's 24 years old she's got long blonde hair if you've seen him
00:08:14.640
before and i don't know the the host so the fox news host was not familiar to me so he wasn't wasn't
00:08:23.040
one of the name brand famous ones you look like he was a fill-in kind of a host who does the weird hours
00:08:30.560
or something so the fox news host uh gives her a question and uh i'm sort of half paying attention
00:08:40.000
while doing other things and she starts to answer the question and then all of a sudden she just stops
00:08:47.840
talking in the middle of her answer which of course caused me to look at the screen to see what was
00:08:53.760
happening and all of a sudden and i'm you know this is nothing to laugh at because we don't know
00:08:59.600
we don't know if she's okay yet i think she is but we don't know she she simply goes
00:09:06.800
and just falls off her chair on the floor right next to the host how many of you saw that you you may
00:09:16.320
have seen the the clip this morning but if you saw it live if you saw live it was super unsettling
00:09:25.840
but it got even more unsettling because of the way the host handled it so that's the funny part
00:09:33.920
now again there's nothing funny about this if she has some real medical problem but uh i think the
00:09:41.520
fact that we haven't earned an update probably means it was just some kind of ordinary fainting attack
00:09:48.160
and that she's fine so she's laying on the floor we still don't know if she's okay it looked like one of
00:09:55.840
the technical people ran in to see what was what and so the host immediately calls for help he goes oh we
00:10:04.480
need some help here immediately just as he should but then the host doesn't know what to do
00:10:13.120
because they're still alive and he's got another guest that he has a question for
00:10:18.240
and while his uh while his colleague is is laying laying on the ground next to his feet
00:10:28.960
and he's probably thinking to himself how do i play this do i just stop the show
00:10:36.080
uh and and he decides that his best way to play it is to just throw a question to the next guest
00:10:42.320
which i'm no expert in these things you know i'm no i'm no medical doctor nor am i a tv show host
00:10:56.880
but i'll tell you what the wrong answer was the wrong answer was to throw a question to the next to the
00:11:07.120
while she's laying on the floor next to his feet
00:11:14.320
okay and again there's nothing funny about it if anything bad happened to her so i'm hoping
00:11:24.720
i'm hoping that you know i can make fun of the host of the show you know without any of that disrespect
00:11:30.800
going to her because we don't know what happened it could be worse than it looked i don't know
00:11:35.760
um but then you could you could almost hear the uh the the producers so he starts to just go on
00:11:43.840
with the show while she's still laying there on the floor you couldn't see her you know but you knew
00:11:50.640
that she had to be laying there because of where the chairs were uh and then he goes oh uh i guess
00:11:57.600
we're going to a commercial so in case this ever happens to you um and by the way i was trying to
00:12:10.160
imagine if any other host of fox news would have played it the same way and i'm trying to imagine you
00:12:18.800
know hannity if that happened on the hannity show he would take his earpiece out he would say
00:12:29.120
you know we've got a problem here he would have immediately gotten out of his chair and he would
00:12:34.080
have been on the ground even if the camera couldn't follow him and he would have probably said while he
00:12:40.000
was doing it you know cut to commercial he he would have just taken charge right and you know you could
00:12:50.320
put in a bunch of other hosts of fox news would have played it the same way but the right answer
00:12:57.840
is to immediately stop the program there's there's no second way to play that and that you immediately
00:13:06.400
get down on the ground and see if you can be useful or you know at least find out what's going on and
00:13:13.040
if the producers want to go to a commercial well let them go to a commercial but that's not your
00:13:18.800
problem right now so that's my my advice all right so that weird thing was happening
00:13:28.880
bank more on course when you switch to a scotia bank banking package
00:13:32.400
learn more at scotia bank.com slash banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're
00:13:39.600
richer than you think and then i a little bit later like almost the same time i switched to cnn
00:13:48.480
and i learned that uh judge janine from fox news you know her from um the five and other things
00:13:55.840
uh has been appointed by president trump as the interim u.s attorney for washington dc
00:14:02.960
this is that highly controversial post that ed martin was uh um going to be nominated for but
00:14:11.680
he was withdrawn because uh senator tillis had a problem with his experience and some things he said
00:14:19.120
in the past i guess and i thought to myself wait a minute are you really telling me that ed martin
00:14:28.880
because he had said some things in the past about january 6 and maybe he didn't have as much
00:14:36.080
prosecutorial experience that was the reason that the senator said no i won't support him
00:14:42.560
are you telling me that judge janine is going to pass those two bars are all the things that judge
00:14:51.040
janine has ever said about january 6 going to pass muster with that same senator tillis how's that going
00:14:58.480
to work and uh and i don't know you know about i i don't have a way to comment about her prosecutorial
00:15:07.760
experience but she hasn't been doing it for a while you know i think she's been doing the tv thing for
00:15:14.560
quite a while now so i don't know if she's uh the right pick but she would be loyal and maybe that's
00:15:21.680
the most important part because uh you want somebody who's not going to use that position to go after
00:15:27.440
republicans and she definitely wouldn't go after republicans so you got that going for you but here's
00:15:33.120
the weird part and i need a fact check on this so i need one of you to have been watching cnn at the
00:15:40.320
same time last night the cnn host host this i can't remember who it was uh kept teasing that she was
00:15:50.160
going to be a guest live on cnn and i thought to myself what how does that even make sense that you
00:16:00.000
know that fox news would not be the first one to put her on and i thought is this some kind of
00:16:07.840
you know is she making a statement to fox news you know did things go not well so she's going to do a
00:16:13.760
hit on cnn and then it got weirder but here's where i need to fit the fact check i don't think she went on
00:16:21.920
i kept watching and waiting and i think they had somebody else come on to talk about her
00:16:31.840
now did anybody see her go on cnn last night because if she didn't go on after they continually
00:16:39.600
teased that she was the she was a guest and she'd be up pretty soon would that mean that maybe it looked
00:16:46.240
like they were sabotaging her and she pulled out because i'm guessing that's what happened but i
00:16:54.480
don't know because it looked like when they were talking about her and they had somebody on before
00:17:00.000
she came on to talk about her that it felt a little like a setup like like they weren't going to give her
00:17:08.160
a you know a fair hearing and i wonder if she just said all right i'm out you know you can do whatever
00:17:16.000
you want with your dead air the air time did that happen so i just need to fact check did she show up
00:17:23.280
on air and did i just sort of miss it or something i don't think she did so anyway maybe we'll hear more
00:17:30.880
about that but she would not be still on the five because fox news has a rule that if you're working
00:17:40.080
for the government you can't be on the show and i guess being nominated for this um would make it
00:17:51.200
um did you know according to the amuse account um you're aware that uh smartmatic the software
00:18:04.400
company that does elections election software that uh they've got some kind of lawsuit that's still
00:18:11.040
brewing with uh fox news but the new new news that i didn't know about before that the amuse account is
00:18:19.360
talking about is that allegedly democrat billionaire reed hoffman secretly met with smart maddox ceo and
00:18:28.320
agreed to give them uh what uh senator tom tillis says judge shanine is a great choice i'm seeing a post
00:18:51.840
so reed hoffman apparently put 24 million into backing the lawsuits against fox news and newsmax
00:19:00.160
and uh according to the amuse account the company kept the meeting secret from the court and the
00:19:05.440
defendants now is that true do you think reed hoffman put 24 million dollars into the lawsuits
00:19:15.840
and if he hadn't would the lawsuits have happened because in a way that would be
00:19:23.760
really clever because he could have taken out or almost did fox news and newsmax he could have just
00:19:31.520
completely taken them off the field for what would be a small amount of money for reed hoffman did that
00:19:38.720
really happen it feels like our government is whoever does the best job of suing somebody
00:19:53.040
you probably uh have seen the clips by now that joe biden and jill biden appeared on the view
00:19:59.360
and it looked like they were trying to rehabilitate joe in the public to make it look like he's
00:20:07.520
functional and always was and he did not look functional he looked like he was a mess and jill had to
00:20:15.440
jump in and try to save him on one important question um but apparently even the democrat
00:20:24.000
consultants are mad that the biden's returned to the spotlight
00:20:28.480
how would you like to be a democrat and you're trying to recover from just a disastrous
00:20:35.760
you know last year and the thing you want more than anything is for people to think about the
00:20:41.440
future and maybe your new candidates and then the news cycle gets absorbed by joe biden looking
00:21:09.600
so scott jennings is teasing that uh he put said this in the post on x he said between what we saw
00:21:17.920
of biden today on the view and my understanding of what's about to drop in the tapper slash thompson book
00:21:26.000
uh-oh i don't think dems have fully internalized the nuclear bomb that's about to hit their party
00:21:32.240
oh my goodness so it looks like jake tapper and somebody named thompson have a book that will not
00:21:41.440
be kind to the biden's and it sounds like scott jennings had a little preview of what's coming
00:21:47.760
do you think he is uh do you think that's hyperbole do you think that scott jennings is
00:21:56.320
getting out a little bit over his skis or is this book going to be that devastating
00:22:08.240
um because the the media really needs to make sure that the blame looks like it's just on the biden's
00:22:17.280
because then the media doesn't look like they're complicit so i think the media has to hit the
00:22:22.800
biden's as hard as they possibly can and that they feel safe to do it and it's even profitable at the moment
00:22:35.360
well let's uh let's check how i did on my prediction about the uk trade deal
00:22:40.160
you remember yesterday i said when the the trade deal was being announced i said that the uh left
00:22:47.520
leaning media would say it's no big deal and it's a special case and it really is not
00:22:53.840
indicative indicative indicative of anything good happening and it wouldn't be much benefited whatsoever
00:22:59.440
to america well that's exactly what happened that's exactly what happened um
00:23:07.840
um but it is a small deal and apparently our trade imbalance with the uk was never much of anything to
00:23:18.720
worry about anyway uh but it looks like what uh the things they've talked about anyway so it's not a
00:23:26.240
signed deal it's more of a memo of understanding kind of situation so in exchange for the uk purchasing
00:23:34.880
boeing jets and giving american farmers more access to the uk
00:23:39.760
uh the u.s is going to allow rolls-royce jet engines to be imported tariff free
00:23:51.280
um there'll still be a 10 tariff on the uk that which is way up from what 2.4 percent
00:23:59.360
um and apparently we had a trade uh we didn't have a trade deficit with the uk we were they were
00:24:09.520
buying more than we were buying from them so it looks like it was a pretty small potatoes deal
00:24:17.440
it was the easiest one to do because it wasn't much there wasn't much going on that either side
00:24:23.440
cared about too much i guess so um so on one sense i think the critics were right it's not really
00:24:35.280
indicative of anything else that's going to happen anywhere else it was the easy one it was a special
00:24:41.280
case however there's not really any chance that that's the only trade deal so the fact that the easy
00:24:50.240
one went first probably doesn't tell you much of anything it just that would be the obvious one to go first
00:25:01.760
in other good news according to the post-millennial um the world's second largest car maker which would
00:25:09.280
include the which is the volkswagen group and i guess they own um do they own uh audi i think they do
00:25:18.720
and the they're gonna look to move production to the united states at least for audi and that wouldn't be
00:25:27.200
another big deal um yeah trump is saying it's great for american farmers and ranchers well good
00:25:40.800
so so the one thing that trump promised us appears to be real
00:25:45.040
uh which is that big companies will move their production into the united states if they can
00:25:52.000
and the car manufacturers are probably among the among the ones who would have the easiest
00:25:57.760
time moving their production so looks like it's happening in other news for the first time ever
00:26:05.680
the volume of google searches went down and uh that's because the senior apple executive said that in a
00:26:17.280
court situation that google searches over safari uh fell for the last two months
00:26:24.480
and that's something that hasn't happened in 20 years
00:26:27.280
uh so i guess it wasn't forever but in over 20 years and and uh the executive attributed the drop
00:26:37.920
to the number of people were using ai chat gpt and perplexity so big things are gonna looks like big
00:26:46.400
things are gonna change with google's business model you know part of it might be uh they have to break up
00:26:55.280
because there's some kind of monopoly claims that are being made but the other possibility is that
00:27:01.600
nothing will happen because there uh there is a new competition and ai will be eating their lunch
00:27:10.160
unless they do something big to correct you know i've talked about this before but i'm gonna
00:27:17.120
i'm gonna put it in a larger context today if you haven't seen it yet you need to see the video of
00:27:22.400
victor davis hansen explaining how the fake polls do their faking and apparently it's just really easy
00:27:31.920
all they do is they they control what percentage of voters for each candidate trump versus non-trump
00:27:40.160
that they talk to so if they want a poll to look bad for trump they don't ask many trump voters
00:27:47.600
what their opinion was and if they wanted to look good for trump or not good for trump because they
00:27:55.040
never want that if they wanted to look accurate you know like all the pollsters do just before the
00:28:01.520
actual election because that's the one time you can check their work then all they do is make sure they
00:28:07.440
ask the representative number of trump voters versus non-trump voters and it's sort of that easy
00:28:14.160
and they even show their work so you could if you knew enough you could look at their i don't know
00:28:21.840
the cross tabs or whatever it is and they publish it and they tell you what percentage are this kind of
00:28:28.720
voters or this kind of voters and you could tell that they were doing that now what victor david hansen
00:28:35.680
says he gives some details he says the new york times and the washington post polls they were deliberately
00:28:42.800
not counting people who surveyed that they were trump supporters in 2024 and that was half the country
00:28:51.440
but they were only polling about a third um and then he he mentioned some other people he says the most
00:28:59.600
egregious the most egregious of all these polls was the npr pbs maris poll um and they had trump being
00:29:10.240
you know super unpopular after his first hundred days and uh apparently they they may have used that
00:29:18.160
same trick i think that's what he's alleging and uh there's the same poll he says that came out the
00:29:25.280
night before the 2024 election that said that kamala harris would win by four points
00:29:31.200
and they said it was beyond the margin of error
00:29:37.680
and she ended up losing by a point and a half in other words they were five and a half points off
00:29:43.680
right before the election now you can't really be five and a half points off if you're a professional
00:29:50.320
polling organization unless you're trying to i mean that would be a really big
00:29:58.400
mistake a day before the election so my larger point here is that apparently
00:30:07.200
uh you know and based on what victor davis hansen says it kind of looks like polling is fake
00:30:15.120
uh at least political polling not corporate or you know the commercial stuff is probably fine
00:30:21.040
but uh at least the political stuff seems to be highly biased
00:30:29.840
but rasmussen which is not part of these bad behavior polls um with the heartland institute did
00:30:37.600
a poll and this is the most shocking thing you'll ever hear in a poll in the united states 71 of democrats
00:30:45.920
would favor a hypothetical law to put musk behind bars for his work on doge
00:30:55.040
as would 80 percent of self-identified liberal voters
00:31:00.720
can you believe that that for him risking his life and his fortune and working you know all hours of the
00:31:11.280
night for the service of the country trying to cut our expenses and saving us from going off the
00:31:17.920
ledge and spending that somehow the you know the the propaganda was so effective that 71 of democrats
00:31:29.520
would want him to be locked up in jail for what for for what exactly would be the crime
00:31:37.040
is it stuff they just make up because you know you hear all the people like the democrat leaders say
00:31:45.120
oh he's only doing it to lower the taxes on the oligarchs like himself he's only doing it to cut the
00:31:54.240
regulators who are trying to control his megalomania or something and then 71 percent of democrats were so
00:32:02.880
convinced that that stuff was true that they would that they would be in favor of locking him up
00:32:11.760
i'll tell you if you ever get the impulse to do something that's really good for america
00:32:18.480
don't do it it's it's a suicide mission oh my god
00:32:23.760
but did doge do what it was supposed to do well um i saw a uh post by an ex-user john sellers
00:32:37.920
and i think he was using grok as his source which makes this interesting but here's what you need to
00:32:44.800
know there's a there's a great controversy about how much doge benefited the budget
00:32:53.760
all right now you would not be surprised to know that some left-leaning groups have a much lower
00:33:00.320
opinion of what doge did so remember the doge was looking to try to get two trillion dollars in spending
00:33:09.280
by now basically so that was their goal um and at one point i heard it was one trillion
00:33:16.640
and then the other trillion would be made up with growth and i thought to myself well you know one
00:33:22.720
trillion one trillion would be amazing amazing it would save the country but currently
00:33:31.440
doge is claiming something like 160 or 165 billion in savings
00:33:36.320
but do you think everybody agrees with that that it's a 160 billion uh well reuters who does not seem
00:33:47.040
to be super friendly to republicans uh they estimated that the actual doge savings could be as low as five
00:33:58.080
uh the new york times reported that the doge savings could be only 2.3 billion
00:34:14.160
so again the new york times is not considered a republican friendly place uh the partnership for public
00:34:22.080
service this non-partisan group uh they calculated the doge's actions might have cost taxpayers 135
00:34:30.640
billion due to paid leave rehiring fired workers and lost productivity and uh basically saying that
00:34:39.840
it's going to cost more than they save by about the amount they're claiming they're saved
00:34:46.320
might be actually what the actual extra cost is
00:34:51.280
bloomberg again not friendly to republicans uh says that after correcting errors like an 8 billion
00:34:59.120
contract that was misreported as 8 million uh the estimated savings for doge would be 16.6 billion
00:35:31.760
it supports those reports meaning it doesn't agree with them but it
00:35:35.920
it reports them that they are actually saying that
00:35:42.080
have you noticed that the people working on the budget
00:35:46.240
don't seem to be coming to us with a smaller budget
00:35:50.480
all they did was add 150 billion dollars to the current budget
00:36:08.960
you know there might be some trivial little things they move around but basically the entire
00:36:14.080
budget process is just fake they're simply pretending that they're looking at it with
00:36:19.760
with a scalpel they're not looking at it with a scalpel
00:36:24.560
they're just giving us the same fucking budget they always do with a little bit added for military
00:36:34.240
it's just completely fake and and they're just gonna put it at us just like they always do
00:36:42.880
and thomas massey will once again vote against it
00:36:46.640
for all the right reasons and we'll end up getting bad and we'll say bad things and
00:36:52.640
we'll just go racing toward the ledge that we can't possibly survive which is uncontrolled debt
00:37:03.440
do any of you think there's any chance that the budget is gonna have any
00:37:10.000
self-control whatsoever i don't think so and i don't think but i don't think the doge savings are
00:37:16.960
even big enough that they'll show up at all i don't think any of it was real
00:37:24.640
so that's what i think when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i
00:37:30.480
started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with the
00:37:36.480
designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full price
00:37:42.880
or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket those
00:37:48.400
shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning winners find fabulous for less
00:37:57.600
um trump said uh today that he might cut tariffs on china to 80 percent from 145
00:38:05.520
and that would be before the weekend talks in switzerland between the united states and chinese
00:38:13.680
representatives and i don't understand this why would he offer to cut the cut the tariffs
00:38:25.920
before the negotiations that would be like negotiating with yourself unless you know maybe he has some
00:38:33.920
indication that china is going to be flexible and he wants to make sure that he looks like he was a little
00:38:40.080
bit flexible himself i don't know but the funny part uh is that when he posted about it on truth
00:38:50.240
he referred to scott besant as scott b scott b because of besant but the good news is i'm still scott a
00:39:01.280
scott a so wouldn't you rather be scott a than scott b makes him my backup but he's cool too he's cool too
00:39:14.960
i like scott b i don't know if you heard this but uh steve scalise is uh complaining that apparently we know
00:39:25.360
now from some documents that have recently become available that the fbi deliberately withheld facts
00:39:33.600
about the congressional baseball shooting which included steve scalise as one of the victims of the
00:39:40.240
shooting and uh at the time they they said that the motivation was suicide by cop in other words they said
00:39:51.360
that the guy doing the shooting wanted to die you know in sort of an exciting way so that's what he
00:39:56.960
did apparently that was totally made up and that the fbi knew at the time it was completely politically
00:40:04.240
motivated and it was simply left-wing violence why do you think the fbi reported it as suicide by cop
00:40:14.320
which would be a non-political thing instead of exactly what it was which was a left-wing person who got
00:40:21.760
um got turned into an extremist by the propaganda
00:40:28.400
well the only reason i can think of is that the fbi was politicized but uh cash patel seems to have
00:40:37.280
you know fixed that by releasing some extra documents so yes the fbi as recently as the
00:40:47.200
congressional baseball shootings which wasn't that long ago were politicized and so their work could
00:41:01.040
here's a uh interesting study by george mason university is talking about it so they did a study
00:41:08.320
where they were trying to figure out um in advance which which businesses were likely to manipulate or
00:41:16.480
bend their their earnings reports essentially fraudulently make claims about their earnings
00:41:24.000
so that they wouldn't uh you know their stock wouldn't go down so they used the ai to see if they can
00:41:32.160
identify the language that's used when they're hiring people for the the job of you know reporting the
00:41:39.600
earnings and doing the calculating and they found out that the ones who were planning to cheat
00:41:47.360
and planning to lie about their earnings when they were hiring people to be the you know the main
00:41:53.680
person who would do that kind of uh work they use rule bender sentences
00:42:00.240
so the rule bender sentences would be that they're looking for somebody who can think outside the box
00:42:08.400
explore alternative solutions and strategic data interpretation
00:42:15.120
so apparently if you're looking for somebody who can think outside the box
00:42:19.760
when it comes to reporting your earnings it's sort of a wink wink you know we need you to
00:42:27.920
you know think outside the box can you be flexible but if they wanted to if they were not planning
00:42:38.720
to fraudulently report their own earnings the the rule follower language was they're looking for
00:42:45.680
somebody who can ensure conformance enforce compliance and provide accurate and timely financial reporting
00:42:55.760
now i don't know if this is a you know a reproducible study or not but it does sound like it might be
00:43:04.080
because if you knew you needed somebody to bend the rules i can imagine that your job opening
00:43:12.000
would have some language that was kind of rule bendy right in there anyway
00:43:20.480
uh the ucla medical school um just got it with a class action lawsuit for still using dei and race
00:43:29.600
race-based admissions fox news is reporting on this and here's my take on all this you know it seems like
00:43:38.880
every day there's somebody who's getting you know defunded because of their dei or in this case
00:43:46.080
somebody who's going to be part of a class action lawsuit because of their dei but i don't think any
00:43:53.360
of us going to go away and i think the reason it can't go away is that it's the same people at those
00:44:00.640
entities that put it there in the first place and so it's going to be a combination of people who are
00:44:07.440
true believers who who think they're on the side of the angels and that the government is the bad guys
00:44:15.360
now if you think the government is the bad guys and and you're like you know you're doing the you
00:44:21.760
know what is it the underground railroad or something you feel like you're some kind of a hero
00:44:27.360
by resisting the government but there might be a much simpler reason why it's never going to go away
00:44:34.720
you know even though the government says it's illegal and their people are suing you and there's all
00:44:40.480
kinds of pressure to get rid of it but it's not going to go away because imagine being um imagine being
00:44:48.320
part of an organization that had embraced dei as one of its highest principles and you'd be living that
00:44:57.120
way for years then imagine coming into the room and having to give this announcement hey everybody
00:45:04.560
i know i know dei has been our highest priority and you know you're looking at your diverse employees by
00:45:11.600
now but it turns out that it was all illegal and it was racist and turns out it turns out we're the
00:45:19.360
racists you know we're the bad guys so instead of being the bad guys uh we're gonna change everything
00:45:30.960
and stop being racist who could do that nobody there's no actual way that in the real world real
00:45:42.560
people could change on a dime from it's our highest priority to oh well it turns out that it's actually
00:45:51.360
just illegal and we're just a bunch of racists and we better cut out this shit right away nobody can do
00:45:58.720
that they're all going to turn into secret you know underground railroad heroes well let's just change
00:46:07.920
the names of our department let's just hide all right we'll say we got rid of the web page but we'll
00:46:14.640
just keep doing it like we always do it i don't think any of these victories are going to be lasting i i think
00:46:22.640
the dei racist um approach will just become permanent well i think it is permanent i i just don't see anything
00:46:33.360
that's going to change it i hate to say it but every claim you know i was getting all excited
00:46:42.000
because the trump administration was doing all the right things to attack the dei practitioners i don't
00:46:49.040
think any of it's going to work because they would be willing to take enormous risks to stay illegal
00:46:58.000
because they think they're the angels according to the university of pittsburgh they did a study a pitt michigan
00:47:05.920
study and they found out that women who have both high math and verbal abilities are less likely to go into
00:47:16.240
stem careers but if they have higher math abilities and lower verbal they're a little more
00:47:26.640
likely to want to go into stem so this is all part of the uh an effort to figure out how to get more
00:47:35.200
women who are both high high math and high verbal to go into stem now they they're speculating that the
00:47:44.400
reason that the the group with the most capability the women with the most capability are not as likely to go
00:47:51.360
into stem is that they have more options so if they have high verbal well you could also be an author or
00:47:58.880
you could also be the head of a i don't know you could be the ceo or something so you don't you're not
00:48:04.640
limited so you just decide other things but my question is this how long are we going to pretend
00:48:13.200
that you can hypnotize women into doing shit they don't want to do
00:48:16.320
don't you think the entire problem boils down to well they just don't want to do that
00:48:23.920
and no matter how much you try to convince them they're still going to look at it and say yeah
00:48:30.560
yeah i mean i would be good at that yeah you're right i would be good at that but i don't want to do
00:48:35.760
it it doesn't look like fun i have i have options so it feels like we're just we're just spinning our
00:48:45.920
wheels on that speaking of women um you probably heard fox news is reporting this that at that
00:48:54.640
columbia university protest that some would call anti-semitic i guess it was it was so it was a
00:49:02.160
pro-palestinian but maybe it was too close to pro-hamas protest and there were a bunch of arrests
00:49:09.760
because it happened at columbia university but of the 80 people arrested there were only 19
00:49:15.680
males but 61 females so how do you explain that it's mostly females in that particular demonstration
00:49:28.400
well i think it's because the men were in stem programs and they didn't have the time no i'm
00:49:35.280
just kidding i'm just kidding it had nothing to do with stem but uh i'm going to give you my speculation
00:49:41.840
and it goes like this it's super sexist are you ready i don't think women have the same biological
00:49:55.680
i don't think women have the same biological aptitude for military security
00:50:03.920
here's what i mean by that only men know how deadly men are women can observe it and they can be victims
00:50:14.960
of it but they can't truly understand that we're all killers and that if you put us in a situation where
00:50:23.200
we can kill our enemies we sort of do it and if you look at the uh the palestinian situation
00:50:35.520
one interpretation would be um the female interpretation would be hey if you could just be nicer to the
00:50:43.840
palestinians then the palestinians would calm down and uh the violence would stop and everybody would win
00:50:52.640
so let's just give the palestinians their own homeland give them the things they want and we'll be able to
00:50:59.760
solve these problems i believe that men have a completely different biological military security
00:51:10.400
opinion and it goes like this whoever has the power in the middle east to wipe out the other side
00:51:17.440
is going to wipe out the other side so your only choices are do you want it to be somebody who's
00:51:25.760
your ally or somebody who wants to wipe out you next now we can't say these things out loud
00:51:32.880
but we kind of know it we know it and i don't think women know it i think women are still trapped in the
00:51:42.240
well of course they're angry and you know of course they're going to act out because you're not being
00:51:48.720
nice to them if you would just treat them right then i think everybody would just hold hands and get
00:51:56.480
along and men say i don't think you understand what's happening there at all we're killers and in the middle
00:52:06.640
east both sides are pretty deadly and uh if if the palestinians got everything they wanted
00:52:17.520
i think women would be surprised and men would not so i do think there's a biological difference in
00:52:26.800
just understanding how deadly men are and i think that you just have to be a man to understand that
00:52:36.480
same way i mean you can reverse it easily i don't think men should be involved in
00:52:41.120
abortion decisions you know i mean you can be it's legal and you have a right to it but i don't feel
00:52:50.000
like i could understand it the same way a woman could understand it so let them make the decision
00:52:57.600
that's just one example so i'm just speculating but that's what it feels like to me
00:53:02.160
um tulsi gabbard's releasing going to release over 6 000 files on the rfk assassination
00:53:12.880
i'm going to make a prediction you're not going to learn anything new i really don't think any of
00:53:19.600
these document releases are going to be really super telling us anything we didn't know from the
00:53:26.720
kennedys to epstein to anything else um for all the obvious reasons you know if it really mattered
00:53:33.680
it would already be deleted or wouldn't be in the records at all but it's kind of interesting that rfk jr
00:53:44.240
who has looked into it quite a bit as you'd imagine is not entirely convinced that sirhan sirhan was the
00:53:51.040
killer and if you've heard any of the speculation and talk about the murder there is all kinds of
00:53:59.440
stuff that doesn't make sense you know they're like too many bullets were fired and from the wrong
00:54:07.360
direction and there's just all kinds of stuff in that story that doesn't make sense but on the other
00:54:13.440
hand there were so many witnesses it was like just tons of witnesses is it possible that none of the
00:54:22.640
witnesses had the right story maybe i mean it's not impossible but it seems unlikely on the other hand
00:54:34.080
is anything that's important in our history real probably not there's probably nothing in our history
00:54:42.720
that you think is you know settled history except for maybe names and dates you know like we know rfk's
00:54:51.120
name and we know the date of the event but probably that's the only thing that's real i mean it might be
00:54:59.520
like everything else which is not real you know it's just the the version we got fed
00:55:05.520
but i don't think the documents that we have on file redacted or not are going to make any difference to
00:55:13.680
that meanwhile the post-millennial is reporting that uh that uh u.s attorney john serconi
00:55:23.440
is going to be part of uh looking into letitia james mortgage fraud so the fbi has opened a formal
00:55:30.160
criminal probe into letitia james over her own uh real estate related transactions which uh at least
00:55:40.800
on paper look obviously illegal we'll see what the courts decide but uh here's the so it's the good
00:55:50.640
news bad news the good news is i'm very happy that letitia james who seems crooked
00:55:57.440
is being looked into for her own crimes on the other hand why did it take a republican
00:56:05.600
administration for this to happen doesn't it sort of suggest that the fbi is completely politicized
00:56:14.320
and if the republicans have the dominant control they can just pick a republican leaning bunch of fbi
00:56:21.600
people to do what they want and go after anybody they want it's not better if the republicans do it
00:56:30.960
but it does suggest that the fbi is not anything like an independent body that's just trying to
00:56:37.120
get rid of crime at least when it comes to the political domain
00:56:42.080
so uh the the attorney general letitia james was probably
00:56:46.960
crooked and politicized the fbi may not be much better according to steve scullis and the uh
00:56:54.560
congressional shooting stuff and and you know what crossfire hurricane and how many other things
00:57:01.040
have we heard where they appear to be politicized if not corrupt uh president trump is doing his trumpian
00:57:10.400
thing uh where he can take both sides of an issue man he could do this better than anybody's ever done it
00:57:19.520
so one of the questions about the the budget thing is whether they will raise taxes on the um the rich
00:57:28.160
you know i think it's people over five million a year or something like that and
00:57:34.400
there's a some movement within the republican party to do it but of course there are other people who are
00:57:41.040
just saying no way no way no raising taxes we just don't do that so it's certainly not a
00:57:48.480
solved problem but trump is now saying on truth uh that he's not in favor of it he's not in favor of
00:57:57.680
raising the taxes because the democrats would use it as a soundbite sort of like uh george bush's read my
00:58:05.680
read my lips no new taxes so if he did raise taxes even on just the rich and even if the democrats
00:58:14.080
were fully on board with that um he still feels like they would use it as a club to say well it's
00:58:22.800
not what you said you'd do and he probably has a little bit of a point there but then he says at the
00:58:29.440
same time he says he doesn't want to do it because it gives the democrats a soundbite he doesn't want to
00:58:35.520
act like he's just protecting his own tax base because that would be a bad look too so he says that uh
00:58:44.240
uh the the gop should probably not raise taxes on the rich but if they do he's okay with it
00:58:54.640
he's the only person in the world who could say that and you just say all right
00:59:04.080
um digital equity programs i guess trump's posting about this there was a digital equity program
00:59:16.160
some racist program that's getting cut i guess all right so um
00:59:23.680
all everything that was in in my uh my reading today was leading up to the following point
00:59:30.800
do you ever wonder how i as a non-scientist could be so darn confident that the climate models
00:59:42.480
are bs you ever wonder about that it's like i'm not really an expert on climate models i'm not even a
00:59:49.440
scientist and i don't have any expertise in environment why am i so confident that the climate models
00:59:58.880
are bs well some of it is that you know i worked with prediction models in the finance area and i
01:00:07.520
saw that as soon as you add certain number of variables you can't predict anything you know
01:00:12.160
you can sort of just pick your assumptions to make it look anything you want so that's part of it but
01:00:18.000
here's the real reason the fbi is corrupt the doj is probably corrupt uh i'm not sure in 2020 there was
01:00:28.400
a suspicious number of biden votes that don't look real to me i don't know for sure but they don't look
01:00:36.400
real to me uh the polls are often fake victor davis davis hansen explained that the doge savings may
01:00:45.200
be entirely fake or it may be that just if you're left-leaning media you could say they're fake and
01:00:51.280
if you're right-leaning you say they're real the tariff estimates that trump has done seem ridiculous
01:00:58.560
the trade deals are being called fake and the budget process is completely fake and corrupt
01:01:04.400
so are we supposed to believe that every institution that we look into is completely corrupt except for the
01:01:21.680
i mean i mean just let that soak in every single thing that we can check that's big and important
01:01:30.000
is fake everything but you think the climate models are the only exception
01:01:39.200
you don't need to be an expert all you have to know is that everything is fake
01:01:45.040
once you learn that everything that can be faked is fake you you become the expert if they invented
01:01:54.080
something tomorrow that you know i don't even put a name on it just a new thing that was big and
01:02:00.000
complicated i would tell you it's fake and i would be right without even knowing what the topic is
01:02:06.880
if you just said oh we're going to put 50 billion dollars into this new thing and they've got all kinds
01:02:13.040
of data and the data backs what they're doing i would say yeah it's fake it's all fake and if if you've
01:02:20.960
got a chance to look into it you would find out i'm right without being an expert because everything
01:02:28.320
that can be fake is fake everything it doesn't take any expertise at all to know that so to me it's
01:02:39.120
just hilarious that every time i post on x wait until you find out about the climate models there is
01:02:46.080
100 percent chance that those climate models will be debunked and go down in history like the food
01:02:54.240
pyramid it's the food pyramid people it's the food pyramid i don't know when it will happen could be
01:03:03.200
tomorrow could be in 20 years but the climate models there's not a chance there's not even the slightest
01:03:11.520
chance that those are real so we'll see ontario the wait is over the gold standard of online

01:04:24.800
uh has warned that china technology is pulling ahead and david sacks writing about this on on x
01:04:34.160
um saying that uh they're they're doing better on ai and part of the problem is that apparently in the
01:04:41.120
u.s we've got something called uh some kind of ai diffusion rule it's 200 pages of regulations
01:04:51.840
that hinder the adoption of american technology even by close partners now i don't know the details of
01:04:59.680
that but it sounds like the u.s has crippled itself so that it can't compete with china and that that's
01:05:08.080
a big deal now um since the smart people seem to know about it i mean sacks has a big voice in the
01:05:15.680
administration he knows about it um maybe we're doing something about it he says that uh
01:05:21.760
trump is committed to rescind 10 regulations for every new one and if the u.s doesn't embrace this
01:05:29.040
the same concept for ai we're going to lose the ai race which would mean losing everything
01:05:36.160
so we'll see if that goes in the right direction um as you know putin was doing his victory day
01:05:44.000
celebrations over there and i was wondering if any ukrainian drones were going to go that way
01:05:49.040
well i guess they sent one that struck a government building but you know didn't cause any death or
01:05:55.920
too much damage but i guess the ukrainians just couldn't resist so they sent one little drone to
01:06:02.320
blow up nothing important according to interesting engineering france plans to have an all robot army
01:06:11.040
by 2027 by 2027 uh no by 2040 but they'll have combat robots by 2027 how would you feel if you got drafted into
01:06:26.320
into a military that was mostly robots but they needed some humans
01:06:31.520
because if robots fight robots which is where it's heading obviously if robots fight robots
01:06:42.240
what happens when one of the robot teams wins because they don't really need to go kill any civilians
01:06:48.480
right because they would have destroyed all the robot military so there wouldn't be any resistance
01:06:55.600
so there's not really any reason to kill you know the civilians so doesn't it look like we're heading
01:07:03.200
exactly for the original star trek's vision of war i tell you when i was a little kid i remember seeing
01:07:11.600
that episode and i'll describe it in a moment and i never forgot it it was like one of the most disturbingly
01:07:19.520
probably future world and the idea was that instead of having real wars there was a planet
01:07:29.440
maybe a few planets they would have uh these simulated wars where they would look at you know the assets
01:07:37.600
and the military capability of each side and then they would put it in a computer and they would say all
01:07:43.280
right if this is the war this is the side that would win and then the winning team
01:07:49.520
would well the losing team would basically volunteer to get um killed by some machine that would do it
01:07:57.840
quickly and painlessly and they would just line up to be killed because their side had lost
01:08:04.480
so at least they'd make it painless and it was just so disturbing and i thought to myself
01:08:11.360
is it going to be some version of that where if the robots of one big country beat the robots of the other
01:08:21.440
and presumably they could be you know hunt down and kill every single robot of the other side if they
01:08:27.440
were the dominant side what would you do with the humans would you kill them because you could
01:08:35.280
or would the humans say we don't surrender and maybe they wouldn't maybe you'd have to i don't know
01:08:48.720
so we'll see but robot armies are going to be more than it's going to be more than just the war
01:08:55.120
there's going to be a whole difference in what war is and how we think about it and the psychology of
01:09:00.960
it and everything else very unpredictable well meanwhile fox news is reporting that mandy moore
01:09:07.600
you know she's a celebrity star mandy moore i guess her house was partially destroyed in the la fires
01:09:16.080
and she's finding that it's impossible to build back so as she points out she has the contractor
01:09:25.120
um she has all the plans she's submitted everything she just can't get approval to build and apparently
01:09:35.040
there have been six approvals given of 10 000 structures that were destroyed
01:09:42.560
now how incompetent is california because don't you remember that uh there was this point where i think
01:09:52.080
even trump was warning the the mayor that they're gonna have to figure out how to get rid of all the
01:09:57.440
regulations so they can build back in a efficient way nothing like that happened nothing now i don't know why
01:10:09.360
but if i had to guess it's very much like i was describing the dei situation imagine if you're
01:10:16.880
the part of the government that has control over approvals and you know what endangered frog has to be
01:10:23.920
saved and you've you've dedicated your whole life to the proposition that we can't be doing these
01:10:32.240
dangerous bad for the environment things how are you going to change your mind if trump comes to town and
01:10:40.080
says yeah you just have to do it faster and and cause some regulations are the save the frogs people
01:10:48.080
gonna suddenly say oh well okay screw the frogs i want mandy moore to build her house faster
01:10:56.400
not in any world the the people who created the rules are gonna dig in and they're just gonna say we
01:11:04.080
can't change these rules are you kidding me we'll lose a frog or we'll lose a fish so i don't think
01:11:12.240
that the people have the ability to change their minds i mean they would be everything about their
01:11:18.240
life would become a joke if they just threw it all away and said all right all right we didn't mean it
01:11:24.320
about the frogs yeah go ahead build your house mr rich person build your house
01:11:30.080
so i don't see how it gets fixed unless a hundred percent of the employees who are involved
01:11:38.640
in approvals are replaced because they're the ones who created the stuff they're not going to throw it
01:11:44.720
away just because somebody else wants them to they'll just slow walk it because you can slow walk anything
01:11:52.880
and it looks like that might be what's happening doing a little slow walking all right ladies and
01:11:58.000
gentlemen that's all i had for today i'm gonna say a few words privately to the
