00:00:00.000
let's check our stocks and they look like they're in a healthy situation today
00:00:06.960
yeah test is up all right let's have a show gonna check my comments
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:38.800
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this
00:00:43.680
experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for
00:00:50.800
that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or gels a stein a canteen jug or a flask a vessel of any
00:00:57.200
kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled
00:01:04.160
pleasure of the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the
00:01:21.200
perfect uh well let's see if there's any science that they could have skipped
00:01:27.680
just by asking me hmm oh here we go uh my favorite writer lately eric dolan and sci post
00:01:37.600
he's uh reporting that women with adhd have less consistent orgasms during partnered sex
00:01:46.000
i'm glad they said partnered now do you think they needed to do that study
00:01:51.840
now i don't know the answer to this because of my personal exploits i know the answer to this because
00:02:00.400
i know what adhd is and i know what an orgasm is and i'm pretty sure that if you're thinking about
00:02:09.120
something else while you're having sex your orgasm will not be so powerful or likely to happen so
00:02:18.000
yeah next time you need to know if adhd is going to interfere with anything including sex
00:02:24.160
or anything else just ask me um yes i think their minds would wander a little bit
00:02:32.560
here's another one also eric nolan also psy post
00:02:37.440
apparently psychedelic experiences are linked to long-term improvements in psychological flexibility
00:02:46.240
you know who else they could have asked that question of 100 of people who have ever had a
00:02:51.920
psychedelic experience that's the main thing it does the main thing it does is make you see the world as
00:02:59.680
sort of subjective and then you get flexible because if the world is subjective
00:03:06.240
you don't have to be locked into any one way of thinking or one way of perceiving
00:03:10.960
so yes next time you want to study something about psychedelics just ask me i got the answers
00:03:24.000
because i have to know this uh i'm going to make all of you know it too if you were trying to avoid the
00:03:30.800
diddy the diddy trial because you'd hear something that would uh that would destroy your brain forever
00:03:39.280
uh you might want to not want to listen to this next thing
00:03:45.280
okay it's not funny it's not funny stop it it's not funny because there was a serious crime alleged
00:03:54.480
here but now there's new lawsuit according to uh bright bar news there's new lawsuit of a woman who
00:04:01.920
says that sean diddy combs um tried to rape her uh but that she was not that afraid once she once he
00:04:12.480
whipped out his manhood because she described it as tootsie roll sized
00:04:18.160
now are you ever going to be able to imagine him in any context again without imagining the the tootsie
00:04:32.080
roll no that's the most devastating thing you could do to him is do the the tootsie roll thing oh my
00:04:41.840
goodness but in related news the new york post is reporting that uh justin beaver's rep his rep my him
00:04:51.760
his rap um said that he was not a victim of sean combs so if you're worried about beaver being a victim
00:05:02.160
of sean combs his rep his rep his rep says it didn't happen now if you can't trust a celebrity rep
00:05:21.680
i i hope it's true that he was not victimized but you're gonna need to do better than the rep
00:05:29.360
according to brendan carr at the fcc verizon has now agreed to end its dei policies um and uh that's
00:05:42.720
good news now you might know that uh i was a victim of dei back in my phone company working days i never
00:05:51.200
worked for verizon or any of the companies they absorbed but um i did experience the dei
00:05:59.520
effect so this one makes me a little extra happy because it feels personal so verizon we'll see
00:06:07.120
if you actually really get rid of your dei policies or are you just going to change the names they
00:06:14.080
might just change the names we'll check in with them later all right here's the uh the big story
00:06:22.560
everybody wants to talk about today so apparently james comey ex head of the fbi has arranged some
00:06:30.880
seashells on the beach and then took a picture of them and the shells were arranged in four digits
00:06:39.200
eight six four seven now 47 we assume refers to trump he's the 47th president 86
00:06:48.640
is a food services reference to getting rid of something so secretary christy noem as
00:06:58.960
um she she posted an ex disgraced former fbi director james comey just called for the assassination of
00:07:09.360
trump and uh she says that the department of homeland security is in secret service
00:07:15.840
are going to investigate this threat and will respond appropriately likewise fbi director cash patel
00:07:24.640
he's all over it he says we are aware of the recent social media post by comey and uh directly
00:07:32.400
at trump he says and we're in communication with the secret service and director current
00:07:36.560
primary jurisdiction is with the secret service but the fbi will provide necessary support
00:07:45.920
now if you were not aware of the 86 as a meaning beyond being a number you might not have worked in a
00:07:53.760
food services kind of job as i have i spent years working for in kitchens and i was a dishwasher and i was a
00:08:04.880
line cook and i was a salad cutting guy uh so i was always in and then i owned a couple of restaurants
00:08:11.920
so 86 was common phrase and so if my boss told me to 86 the lettuce i knew that that meant get a
00:08:22.720
high-powered rifle and hide it in the bushes near the golf course and then shoot that lettuce when it came
00:08:28.400
by right that's what that means it means assassinate the lettuce right
00:08:42.640
that on one hand it's deadly serious because all it takes is one crazy person to say
00:08:50.400
he sends the signal he sends the assassination signal on the other hand
00:08:55.600
the odds that he will get in any kind of serious legal trouble for using a common word that means
00:09:02.800
get rid of something really low i don't think he's going to jail because he used a common food services term
00:09:11.440
with seashells so we can speculate what he was thinking and we could speculate what other people might
00:09:21.760
think when they think when they see it and whether he thought that they would think that
00:09:26.320
but i think he is in probably safe territory he's not going to go to jail for using a food services term
00:09:34.560
for getting rid of something you know we we never thought of it as assassinating the food
00:09:39.920
so i don't think he's in trouble but of course the news will be all over it today and you're going to
00:09:48.240
hear that story so many times and people will act terribly shocked and offended and
00:09:54.880
and it's the worst thing in the world they use that term 86
00:10:05.040
joe rogan had a harvard uh i guess a persuasion mind control expert
00:10:11.200
and uh i saw a good summary of that annexed by the vigilant fox who's a good account to follow you
00:10:16.960
should follow the vigilant fox and uh the expert her name is lemoff she talked about how uh back in 2012
00:10:28.720
there was a an experiment done on facebook where they uh they achieved mass emotional contagion
00:10:38.000
at scale so whatever what they did was they uh they give one group of people without them knowing it
00:10:45.440
by the way this experiment was done on users of facebook without the users knowing they were part of an
00:10:51.440
experiment um some of them were given all these negative words and the others were fed a stream of
00:11:01.600
positive words and then they found out that the group that was exposed to more positive newsfeed
00:11:08.880
uh also had immeasurably statistically significant effect of more positive emotional response and the
00:11:23.760
now did they really need to run that experiment was there anything they could have done that would have been
00:11:30.640
cheaper and faster than running that big somewhat unethical experiment because
00:11:38.640
people didn't know that they were part of the experiment yes they could have just asked me
00:11:45.280
because every hypnotist and everybody in advertising would have known what would happen if you give
00:11:52.400
people a bunch of negative words they feel negative if you give them a bunch of positive words they feel
00:11:57.040
positive and it's not that complicated it's probably the the single most well understood thing in all of the
00:12:07.040
in all of persuasion yeah i doubt you could find even one hypnotist who wouldn't tell you oh you don't
00:12:13.840
need to do that experiment yeah all the negative words would make one group feel bad and positive words
00:12:25.120
um but here's what you need to know that's basically cnn and msnbc every night now they're not running it as an
00:12:34.080
experiment it's just how they operate so you know that word chaos do you think it's an accident that they
00:12:43.840
all use that word and then when they they get a new word they all use it it's the same thing basically the
00:12:53.680
news news is a you know persuasion tool and they use negative or positive words based on the story
00:13:02.240
and uh it's very persuasive that that's why people who watch any one of those news shows
00:13:09.760
at the expense of watching the others seem to you to be emotionally
00:13:14.640
unbalanced and as because they are and you would be too if you only watched one news source
00:13:24.640
you would either get you know unrelenting good news about one side and unrelenting bad
00:13:30.400
words about the other side and and you'd be quite triggered
00:13:36.960
well trump is back from his successful middle east trip and i gotta say
00:13:41.840
is one of the most impressive you know successes that i've ever seen
00:13:52.320
just dominate the news and do such a you know impressive job in other countries
00:13:59.040
but i i saw a joel pollock of breitbart did a little summary of what was
00:14:05.360
achieved and i think maybe the list is even longer than this but
00:14:08.880
uh joel's list is uh that trump got us respect and gratitude from the arab world yes investment
00:14:17.360
deals for the usa yes big ones release of the american israeli hostage well that timing was pretty good
00:14:24.480
huh clear statements of u.s interests and values yes uh tough message to iran yes uh
00:14:33.520
uh a distinct though linked path from israel you know a little bit of distance from israel but
00:14:40.960
we can see how we're connected yes bipartisan praise at home yes and a strong personal image
00:14:54.640
oh i don't know two weeks ago when if you would ask democrats they would have said
00:15:00.720
that it's quite obvious to everybody that president trump is the laughing stock of other countries
00:15:06.480
do you remember that and does anybody remember me saying that no other countries are transactional
00:15:17.520
if trump offers something that they want they're going to love him if he offers them something they
00:15:24.080
don't like they're going to demonize him and all all this stuff you think about how oh they just have
00:15:30.960
an impression of him and it's negative and they think these none of that's real it's all about what
00:15:38.320
he can do for them and apparently they think he can do a lot for them in the middle east because they
00:15:44.080
really really put up the red carpet but i would say that the biggest thing he accomplished is that he
00:15:52.560
reframed war as commerce and i'm going to say it in my own words but this is what i got out of it
00:15:59.840
you know mostly from his speech but also from just the way he did business i i think i think he just
00:16:08.400
thinks that war is just the worst thing ever and he's very consistent about that you know when he
00:16:13.520
talks about it we just want to stop the killing etc but uh in a world where everybody has to be connected
00:16:22.560
commerce wise i think he just sees that commerce is the better tool do you want to be part of the
00:16:30.000
world economic global economy yes well then you're going to have to stop killing people
00:16:38.320
if you don't want to be part of the world economic global community basically the only way you could
00:16:45.040
ever thrive you don't have to be and we'll be happy to cut you out and you can just suffer and starve
00:16:51.280
and it feels to me like he's this is his greatest accomplishment i'm going to go a little further
00:17:00.720
and say it might be the greatest accomplishment of any leader in any time in american well no human
00:17:10.160
history not american history human history now part of it is because he's he's born in a specific time
00:17:18.000
you know uh 300 years ago you didn't need to maybe do some international trade but you can't really
00:17:26.240
survive unless you're plugged into the international commercial network of everything and i think trump is
00:17:35.200
the first one is the first one to say war is obsolete it's obsolete because in theory you can get almost
00:17:43.920
anybody to do almost anything to you know bring them from some extremist situation into the fold by just
00:17:53.520
making it clear that the only way you'll ever thrive is to act like a responsible country and then you could be
00:18:01.360
part of the world commercial situation now he hasn't said that directly but that sure feels like where
00:18:09.200
he's heading with iran with russia etc he's not saying if you don't give us what we want we're going to bomb
00:18:16.960
the hell out of you he doesn't take it off the table it's not off the table but he said clearly that
00:18:24.640
the the alternative for iran would be being crushed economically and the alternative for russia was to be
00:18:33.200
further sanctioned so i feel like it's one of the greatest accomplishments of any leader in the history of
00:18:43.440
humanity really if he pulls this off it's not completely pulled off but he seems to have reframed
00:18:52.800
it in a way that we can all understand well according to the uh kobe kobe is a letter on x uh trump's
00:19:03.120
investment he raised uh uh 2.5 trillion dollars in capital for the us now we don't know for what time
00:19:11.280
period but the uae was in for 1.4 trillion that they want to invest in the us saudi arabia 600 billion
00:19:19.760
cutter 500 billion um these are the very big numbers but they're not as big as what trump says it is
00:19:29.520
so those are the numbers based on news reports and what those countries have said out loud but
00:19:35.920
trump says that his his trip is worth 12 to 13 trillion and includes deals already announced
00:19:45.440
and some that will be you know outlined shortly so and he's going to be sending out letters to nations
00:19:53.440
for trade deals soon so i don't know so somewhere between 2.5 and 13 trillion is what he came back with
00:20:04.480
but i don't know how much of this to believe because when you look at the uh what the arabs
00:20:10.800
nations said they would contribute or actually invest not contribute um i don't know is that over 10 years
00:20:19.280
or 20 years so i don't even know how to how to say if that's important or not um i don't feel it
00:20:29.360
like nothing in my life changed um so i'm gonna say i'm not 100 sure anything in your life will change
00:20:37.760
either but it's way better than not getting those deals so a lot of what trump does is salesmanship and
00:20:46.880
selling the country and you know creating an image and you know just making people think differently
00:20:52.880
you know that's what he does best so if what he's done is created this situation where all the smart
00:20:58.800
people are putting massive amounts of money into the united states because it's the best place to invest
00:21:04.880
and it probably is it's probably the best place to invest um that would be amazing so i can quibble
00:21:12.880
about what the real number is and how big it is but what he's done is make everybody think in that way
00:21:20.400
the meaning that if he visits your country you better open your wallet and i think people will

00:22:29.920
so not only did uh republicans think he did a great job in the middle east but
00:22:34.880
fox news and others are reporting that uh former biden officials people who would be you know deeply
00:22:41.920
critical of trump are also saying wow well he seems to have accomplished a lot in one trip and so
00:22:51.520
podcasters are saying it axios spoke to several biden administration officials
00:22:58.960
um and some of them are saying that trump's audacious foreign policy moves were um pretty pretty
00:23:05.760
amazing one official anonymously said uh gosh i wish i could work for an administration that can move
00:23:12.720
that quickly so even if you didn't love everything that trump has done everywhere you look at this and
00:23:19.680
you say to yourself biden could not do this i don't think there's a single democrat who actually knows what
00:23:29.520
they're talking about who would say oh yeah biden could have done that i you know he probably almost did
00:23:35.440
nope i think people are absolutely recognizing that he's a singular personality and that he can
00:23:44.960
literally do things that other people can't do and when you start imagining a world in which
00:23:51.200
you're not locked into all the same choices and that when trump shows up you have more options
00:23:57.920
and some of them look pretty good he's sort of someone who can make something happen
00:24:04.080
that all the smart people thought couldn't happen and that the value of that is incalculable
00:24:13.840
just think about that there's one personality really just one in the whole world where if he aims his
00:24:22.640
airplane at your country things can happen that just couldn't have happened without him nobody else is like
00:24:30.880
that i don't i don't even know historically if anybody's ever been like that so the fact that he's not
00:24:37.520
afraid of anything he's not afraid to take you in a different direction he's not afraid to upset you
00:24:44.160
he's not afraid to try something that might fail he's not afraid to try something that doesn't work then
00:24:50.320
he has to quickly pivot and change it his lack of fear combined with his common sense we've never seen this
00:25:01.600
we've just never seen this so you know uh i do i do appreciate that the democrats are not blind to it
00:25:12.880
they can see it too now there's a uh a rumor that i'm pretty sure is false that uh trump is at least
00:25:22.720
considering the idea of promoting a two-state situation and backing palestine palestine as a
00:25:31.840
its own country i don't think that's going to happen what do you think i feel like he would have
00:25:39.120
already signaled that now we're seeing that trump is uh made it very clear that israel is not going to be
00:25:48.320
yankee is chained so he's created some distance from israel without creating any kind of a
00:25:55.760
you know major economic or other problem um but he's very clearly signaled that he's going to do
00:26:03.280
what's good for the us and that's it if israel doesn't like it israel just has to deal with it
00:26:11.200
so we haven't seen that before um so i went to grok and i wondered how many of the palestinians
00:26:19.360
themselves want a two-state solution and it turns out it's just wildly difficult to get any kind of a
00:26:27.840
read on that uh according to grok but the numbers range from 24 to 74 percent
00:26:35.120
so we don't know exactly because the range is so big we don't know exactly if even the palestinians
00:26:43.200
want a two-state solution i just assumed that they all did but maybe not or maybe it's just that the
00:26:51.840
limitation and the polling over there is so bad that you know it's 74 percent plus could be
00:26:59.600
but then i wondered how many of the israelis want a two-state solution um according to gallup in 2024
00:27:09.520
only 27 percent and if you looked at the only the jewish israelis it's as low as 17 percent
00:27:18.480
um so i i don't even know how many people want it you know if you say a two-state solution to the
00:27:29.600
palestinians do they say to themselves oh no we really want to own the whole thing
00:27:36.320
so we want a one-state solution where we're in charge is that what they're thinking when they
00:27:43.040
answer the question so that would be you know yet another reason why you can't trust the polls on any
00:27:47.760
of this so but here's what i do think i think the opinions in the region would be so far all over
00:27:58.560
the place that if you propose any kind of two-state solution that even the people who said they were in
00:28:06.560
favor of it would be opposed to it because of the specific way you said you wanted to do it
00:28:12.000
all right two-state solution but who's in charge where is it where you know which real estate are
00:28:19.760
you talking about i don't think you could ever get much of an agreement on that so i'm gonna i'm gonna
00:28:27.520
assume that trump will either stay away from that question as in this is your problem not mine
00:28:34.000
uh but i don't think he's gonna come out strong in favor of a palestinian two-state solution
00:28:42.800
just a guess i don't think he will i could be wrong
00:28:48.400
well as you know there was a what's being called a top iranian official but really is an advisor he's
00:28:57.680
well connected but i don't know if he's a top official he said that iran would be willing to
00:29:04.000
make a deal with trump in which there would be some limits on their uranium enrichment and there
00:29:09.760
would be some agreement not to make nuclear weapons and there would be some kind of a
00:29:15.120
inspection to make sure that didn't happen and they might destroy their existing
00:29:20.240
um yeah maybe maybe get rid of some of their stockpiles but uh i don't think that gets close
00:29:29.920
to what the u.s wants so the u.s not only wants you know something in the nuclear realm as part of the
00:29:37.360
deal but they also want iran to stop supporting their terrorist proxies you know hamas and hezbollah
00:29:44.720
and uh i haven't seen that even discussed so would we make a deal if they were going to just
00:29:52.880
keep funding hamas doesn't feel like trump would so we're pretty far away on that and then uh as
00:30:02.960
whitkoff recently said that uh what the trump administration wants is a full dismantlement
00:30:11.040
of tehran tehran's uh nuclear program so that would include three main nuclear facilities completely
00:30:18.800
dismantled i think if i'm right tehran wants to continue having the ability to refine uranium
00:30:30.240
but they would keep their refinement well under the the level that you could make a bomb
00:30:36.560
and that there would be some inspections on that now i don't know if that would ever be enough
00:30:43.440
because it would still leave them with the ability to kind of semi-rapidly change their mind and make
00:30:50.560
a bomb and i don't think trump's gonna live with that so trump actually said that uh that there you know
00:30:58.800
important talks that are happening right now and uh he had some he had some optimism that uh maybe
00:31:06.960
something won't happen but the alternative that trump has laid out is that he will just turn off
00:31:13.120
uh oil sales from iran now right now iran is still selling oil and you know to china mostly
00:31:22.800
um i i guess we would embargo that or uh stop those ships in the water or something
00:31:31.200
but that would happen next if we don't get a deal
00:31:33.760
uh apparently oil prices have fallen in part because of uh trump's comments about iran and uh
00:31:47.280
so yeah so if oil prices fall that would also mean that russia gets less money to pursue their war i don't
00:31:56.160
know if it'd make a enough of a big deal that russia would want to make a deal but that's happening
00:32:03.760
all right uh let's change the topic to ai so according to fortune a bunch of ceos are saying
00:32:14.000
that only a fraction of ai initiatives are delivering a return on investment
00:32:20.720
now you know that i've been more skeptical than most people about what ai will ever be able to do
00:32:28.880
and i've been skeptical that companies will be able to use it in production because i don't think they
00:32:38.800
figured out how to get rid of the hallucinating the hallucinations and they don't know how to make it
00:32:45.040
reasoned yet you know and figure out things that it hasn't encountered before it's just not good at that
00:32:51.440
so so that seems to be a thing now at the same time that the ceos are saying hmm this has been a little
00:33:05.280
bank more encores when you switch to a scotiabank banking package
00:33:09.760
learn more at scotiabank.com banking packages conditions apply scotiabank you're richer than you think
00:33:16.800
okay meta one of the big players in ai they've apparently delayed their rollout of their flagship
00:33:26.320
ai model the next level and the insiders are saying it's because they don't think it
00:33:32.880
is enough of an improvement and there's a lot of insider fighting and stuff so it's sort of suggesting
00:33:41.680
and other people are saying the same thing that ai might be plateauing meaning that there will always
00:33:50.160
be you know new new models coming out that are better than the last one but they're not going to be
00:33:56.720
twice as good you know the next one might be three percent better i'm just making that up but that would
00:34:05.040
suggest that ai is reaching its total potential with the current technology so even if you build a
00:34:15.120
bigger data center and you train it even harder there might not be that much extra that it can go to
00:34:23.920
now if it's true that the ceos are saying it's underwhelming and it's not really paying back
00:34:29.680
and it's also plateauing what is that telling you that's that would be some bad news
00:34:40.400
but then i see some big breakthroughs the ai is doing for example google's deep mind ai is able to
00:34:50.400
come up with algorithms that humans were not capable to come up with to which i say wait a minute
00:34:59.840
are you telling me that in the real world benefit of ai the only thing they had to talk about this week
00:35:07.600
is that it could come up with some algorithms that we couldn't come up with and then i say what would
00:35:13.200
be those algorithms and how are those changing the world well alpha evolve i guess that's the
00:35:22.240
flavor of ai that's doing this came up with more efficient algorithms for
00:35:28.560
several kinds of computations several kinds i say several kinds not just one several kinds for
00:35:36.960
example they came up with a method for calculating um that involved matrices that are a better better
00:35:48.080
method for calculating matrices um and it's better than the strawson algorithm that has been relied on for
00:35:56.320
56 years so how good do you feel about that i i i tell you for 56 years i've been relying on the
00:36:07.520
strawson algorithm to calculate my matrices and the whole time i was getting well there's got to be a
00:36:13.840
better way does anybody have a better and sure enough ai came up with a better way to calculate your
00:36:20.480
matrices matrices better than the strawson algorithm it improves the computational efficiency by reducing
00:36:28.640
the number of calculations required to produce a result
00:36:31.440
so that's not nothing does it feel to you like all the little hints
00:36:42.560
are suggesting that ai may be reaching some kind of a limit that we weren't expecting
00:36:47.840
now the next level of ai you know where it's a super ai and agi and all the whatever
00:36:58.400
we're thinking is that next level that really depends on us inventing things we don't know how
00:37:04.400
to invent yet how long does it take to invent something we don't know how to invent
00:37:11.120
remember i remember i told you the day that the estimate for when we would have humanoid robots that
00:37:18.320
could live in your house and you just tell it oh i've got a new task for you uh you've never done
00:37:25.360
this before but here's how you feed the dog and then it would just watch you do it and go okay we're not
00:37:32.720
really close to that because you've never seen that even demonstrated have you
00:37:37.600
let me give you the demonstration of apparently what is the best our current ai can make a robot do
00:37:51.920
if you're just listening to this this is me dancing like a like a retard
00:38:00.160
jazz hands do you think it's a coincidence that every time we see a demo
00:38:06.800
is doing something that you wouldn't need at all
00:38:13.760
are you gonna buy the dancing robot or the robot that can do back somersaults
00:38:23.200
or the one that can carry a predetermined size box into a predetermined size place
00:38:30.240
and not much else um and and then you saw you know some estimates that maybe it'll be
00:38:39.040
two or three years before you buy a humanoid robot that can just do stuff around the house
00:38:45.760
two or three years doesn't suggest that we have current technology that can do it
00:38:50.960
that that's not just tweaking it for two or three years until it works
00:38:55.120
that really depends on inventing something that we haven't invented so i'm a i'm pretty skeptical on
00:39:03.840
this whole ai thing i think we may have we may be approaching the plateau but you know that could
00:39:09.600
change in a minute if somebody's invented something new well are you uh are you watching the supreme court
00:39:18.480
conversations um let me try to explain the supreme court situation because you know you're not all
00:39:25.120
lawyers and you don't have the deep understanding of law and the supreme court the way i do you know with
00:39:33.120
my complete lack of experience in that domain but apparently somehow oh let me just say this in case you
00:39:42.560
can't pick up the sarcasm there's nothing i say about the supreme court that you should trust
00:39:50.480
it's really complicated at the moment so apparently there are two questions birthright citizenship
00:39:57.760
and then the universal injunction thing and that's the thing where a federal judge who in theory would
00:40:07.360
be in charge of you know some small part of the country would make some kind of ruling that says
00:40:14.000
the entire country can't do this thing now it's been applied to a lot of the executive orders from trump
00:40:20.480
so all you need to do is get some lefty judge to say oh yeah uh i i give you an injunction so then nowhere
00:40:30.640
in the country can you do that and then of course the people who are normal say why can this one judge
00:40:38.320
who's only in charge of this little slice of the country tell the entire rest of the country what it
00:40:44.080
can and can't do now both of these questions you think would be good questions for the supreme court
00:40:52.880
but for reasons i don't fully understand the only way to get it in there was to to jam them together
00:41:00.640
and talk about how birthright citizenship have been blocked with a universal injunctive relief
00:41:07.760
so it would cause the supreme court to have to deal with both issues
00:41:15.200
in ways i don't quite understand so i listened to a bunch of the arguments i didn't understand the
00:41:21.120
damn thing i heard did anybody have the same experience you know some of you might be lawyers so
00:41:26.960
you understood it but i didn't understand any of it and i don't understand how they can just
00:41:32.160
staple these two staple these two items together and take them both to the supreme court and expect
00:41:39.680
that you're going to get some kind of answer to them individually don't get it at all absolutely
00:41:46.880
baffled by the whole thing but the smart people the people who know way more than i do and uh politico
00:41:55.360
has some writing by josh gerstein and hassan ali kanu um they're saying that the the birthright part
00:42:05.360
is getting a frosty reception meaning that don't expect the supreme court to come up with any ruling
00:42:12.800
that says that birthright citizenship will go away or be limited so it looks like maybe both the
00:42:20.400
lefty and the righty parts of the supreme court are just saying hey we got precedent we got clear
00:42:28.320
writing in the constitution we're not going to change it but the situation of the uh judges that are
00:42:38.800
making these broad um rulings that affect the whole country there does seem to be some wiggle room on that
00:42:46.080
one so we don't know you know it's too early to know how anybody's going to vote but there's a
00:42:51.920
possibility that when they're all done nothing about birthright citizenship which is you get to be a
00:43:00.000
citizen if you're born in this country probably nothing about that will change but the idea that a
00:43:07.760
judge can you know a federal judge in one part of the country can do something that affects the whole
00:43:14.640
rest of the country there might be some changes coming in that domain but that's uh that's speculative at
00:43:22.880
this point well as you know trump's big beautiful bill is getting ready for the prime time they're
00:43:33.600
they're still marking it up and playing with it but basically they've got the bill kind of close
00:43:40.320
and uh i think trump's kind of happy with it but rand paul says uh quote it will be a record for
00:43:48.560
congress to raise the debt five trillion dollars but also indicates that this year the deficit will be
00:43:56.400
over two trillion but it means they're anticipating close to three trillion for the next year
00:44:02.080
so so rand paul is questioning the raising the debt ceiling by five trillion and uh
00:44:14.160
so yeah and especially in the context of doge was supposed to save us all this money
00:44:19.680
but we don't see anything like that we don't see anything that looks like a doge saving
00:44:24.480
where is it what happened to it did we go through all that for nothing um and uh paul says he summarizes
00:44:34.720
it by saying it's really a slap in the face that those of us who were excited about elon musk and doge
00:44:40.560
and all the cuts well that's me that's me i was excited about doge and all the cuts and i consider this bill
00:44:50.240
a slap in my face i feel insulted literally insulted um and let me let me just put it this way
00:45:05.200
congress had one thing that they had to get right we'd like them to get everything right
00:45:16.720
but they had one fucking thing they needed to get right which is not to spend us into a certain death
00:45:23.920
and those motherfuckers republicans i'm only talking about you republicans you motherfuckers
00:45:30.640
came up with a bill that will spend us into oblivion and you fucking know it you fucking know it and
00:45:39.760
you're doing it right in front of our faces am i insulted yes can i support republicans when they're
00:45:46.960
doing this right to our face no no fuck you i'm out i am so out you need to at least put a little
00:45:56.160
effort into it don't try to shove this up our fucking asses one more time do you think you didn't
00:46:04.240
get the message that the public is done with this we're so done with this go back take five or ten percent
00:46:13.440
off or whatever you need to do it's gonna hurt here's the problem we have a goal which is to
00:46:23.200
have fiscal responsibility but we don't have a system that can ever get that for us because the
00:46:30.720
problem is that if any politician cut anything enough to make a difference they would not get
00:46:37.600
re-elected so we shouldn't be surprised that the people who are in the system that they will be punished
00:46:44.880
to do the right thing they will be punished they will be punished if they do the right thing which
00:46:51.360
is cut the spending they will be punished even if they take something that only ten percent of the
00:46:58.720
public cares about that's enough not to get re-elected they would be punished so as long as we have a
00:47:05.600
fucking system that guarantees we're going to go down the fucking drain don't ask me to sign off on this
00:47:13.520
don't ask me to pat you on the fucking head don't ask me to say good job guys no this is an insult
00:47:21.520
this is an insult ran paul i'm on your side and i feel like the public just has to take over this process
00:47:34.320
i feel like the public needs to just say we're going to get rid of everybody unless you
00:47:43.600
can fix this now i don't know any way that that can work but i'll tell you one thing the congress
00:47:51.040
can't do this thing and it's the most important fucking thing and if you can't do the most important
00:47:56.720
fucking thing to keep us all alive to keep us fucking alive you got to go something's got to change
00:48:06.880
and am i happy with president trump who apparently seems to be perfectly happy with kicking this can
00:48:15.120
down the road at the age of whatever fuck he is nope absolutely not no i i can tell you that trump did
00:48:26.560
amazing work in the middle east i think really just historically amazing work but if he gives us this
00:48:34.640
budget how am i supposed to support that and it doesn't have anything to do with republican or democrat
00:48:42.560
it's doom it's the end of your fucking life unless somebody's come up with some magical way that
00:48:52.640
everything will be better the the only thing i saw that was like this glimmer of hope was somebody
00:48:59.280
in the comments on x said well you know nothing about the budget will matter when ai reaches
00:49:06.400
you know this certain level ai will change everything so so debt won't matter etc really
00:49:12.400
is is that why the uh the fortune 500 companies say hmm this ai isn't working out so much
00:49:23.120
you're gonna have to give us some kind of a plan that doesn't look like you're gonna kill us
00:49:29.760
and this is absolutely a non-starter so every one of you fuckers you got something to explain to the
00:49:39.440
public you've insulted us you've failed you've set us on a track to absolute destruction and you'd better
00:49:48.880
fucking figure it out now again i do have some sympathy for the fact that they're in a system
00:49:57.360
where they will be personally punished for doing the right thing
00:50:00.320
i feel like the public or or maybe it's trump i mean you know he he's a singular character he could
00:50:10.400
he could do it i just don't know that he would i i think that it's political suicide to cut any part
00:50:20.160
of the budget for any any reason whatsoever just absolute suicide so i don't know where this goes
00:50:28.320
but don't expect me to be mindlessly supporting republicans when they're trying to kill us all
00:50:35.440
that that's not gonna happen that's just not gonna happen when i found out my friend got a
00:50:40.800
great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners
00:50:47.760
like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold
00:50:53.680
earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots
00:50:59.520
that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering
00:51:06.240
start winning winners find fabulous for less well not only are they trying to take away all of our money
00:51:13.680
and destroy the country but now senator mike lee republican he wants to make porn a crime in the united states
00:51:23.040
so all pornography would be basically become a crime now my first question about this was would that
00:51:34.000
include only fans would the only fans be able to still do their only fans thing because if you got rid of
00:51:43.680
all sort of classic porn wouldn't men turn more to only fans and wouldn't that turn women more into
00:51:57.760
i don't know i would worry a little bit about the unintended consequences of this one you know i don't
00:52:03.200
know enough about it but um i don't know it also looks like a limitation on free speech and everything else
00:52:19.200
um u.s wholesale uh prices so the according to the daily wire so u.s wholesale prices had the biggest
00:52:27.520
decline in five years flying in the face of economist predictions at the same time the news is saying
00:52:35.280
that walmart's getting ready to raise their prices substantially because of tariffs so if you're not
00:52:43.760
you're well versed in economics how can it be true that walmart's going to raise its prices
00:52:49.360
at the same time which would be the signal for everybody else to do it really
00:52:53.600
uh at the same time that we've seen the biggest drop in five years and the answer is there's a
00:52:59.440
timing difference so that the tariff stuff hasn't really hit the economy yet and we don't know how
00:53:05.920
big it will be but uh nothing that has happened so far is predictive of what will happen over the summer
00:53:14.720
and the news is pretending it is the news is pretending that that uh because there's some kind of weird
00:53:22.880
disconnect between the trump tariff uh action and the fact that prices are actually going down
00:53:31.280
i think the news is trying to convince you that there won't be a connection because there hasn't
00:53:36.560
been a connection so far that is not true there is a timing difference we might see some further decreases
00:53:44.800
in prices but when the tariffs start kicking in over the summer it's only going to go in one direction
00:53:53.440
now it could be that the walmart's are the ones where the prices happen maybe we won't see it in some
00:54:00.720
bigger areas like tech and stuff like that maybe but don't be confused if walmart's getting ready to
00:54:09.920
raise prices and they've announced it prices are going up
00:54:13.920
um according to politico joe biden uh probably cost the democrats the white house in 2024
00:54:26.560
through his feebleness and his insistence of being in the race anyway but now they're thinking that he's
00:54:33.440
gonna uh completely hobble them in 2028. uh i'm gonna push back on a little this
00:54:40.480
this so politico's the writing is from adam brand and holly otterbean um and i guess they're talking
00:54:49.200
about the fact that the democrats are still not coming clean about the fact that they were running
00:54:55.760
a candidate who is mentally incompetent and if they don't come clean on that
00:55:09.360
i'm not so sure because 2028 is so far away that we're gonna have a whole bunch of other things to think about
00:55:18.480
and i was watching the news yesterday and have you had this experience yet it'll be a podcast or a
00:55:26.080
news show and they're just saying the same thing about biden over and over well they should have known
00:55:33.840
well the tapper book is really just trying to give the press some kind of out well certainly the insiders knew
00:55:42.000
why didn't the insiders tell us and it's all the same now i don't believe that the political right
00:55:50.080
and their podcasters and slash news people i don't think they can keep telling that same freaking story
00:56:02.000
so even as powerful as that story is i only kind of see it from the republican side
00:56:09.680
and then the democrats are like okay you know you got a pretty good point there
00:56:19.600
i think it'll be based on how trump did for the next three years and based how the economy does and
00:56:27.360
i just don't know that that's got the legs to make a difference in 2028 but we'll see
00:56:34.000
at the moment the books coming out are driving the headlines
00:56:38.000
and there will probably be some more books and they will sort of all be the same
00:56:42.160
oh here's another insider who says that he noticed something was wrong with biden we know that
00:56:53.120
but governor whitmer was on cnn so here's another example so even cnn is trying to get people to admit
00:57:00.880
that they knew but cnn is doing the trick where if they can get you to think that the problem was the
00:57:09.600
biden insiders were lying then you won't notice that cnn is uh
00:57:17.680
didn't somehow pick up on the fact that you could tell just by looking at biden in public
00:57:22.480
fox news knew it how did fox news know that biden was mentally incompetent and uh probably 70 million
00:57:33.680
republicans could tell every time they saw him in public and cnn's trying to paper over that
00:57:40.240
that essentially changed history they're trying to rewrite history so the problem was not their
00:57:46.960
observational skills which was the real problem well it wasn't even their observational skills
00:57:53.920
it was their willingness to say they noticed um so whitmer was asked you know since she was very
00:58:04.160
involved in the campaign um you know if she didn't notice biden's decline and she said i was busy
00:58:12.080
working i didn't see the president directly are they going to really get away with that
00:58:18.000
that that that all these people who are working on behalf of the president didn't really spend much
00:58:24.480
time with them yeah i didn't really see him much i can't blame me again they're trying to make it look
00:58:31.760
like you couldn't tell every time he was in public so anyway um so there's a story about uh
00:58:45.280
a soros foundation director so this is somebody who's literally the director of the soros foundation like i
00:58:56.720
just said who uh who was sort of admitting according to the national pulse that the ngos were using the
00:59:05.360
law fair to protect illegals against public wishes and so this uh fellow greg uh maniatis
00:59:14.880
the director at the george soros foundation was saying that uh the sort of the activities of
00:59:22.000
his organization um created chaos at the border now the reason i found this story interesting
00:59:31.040
is that he's using the word chaos to describe what they had created he said quote chaos is the
00:59:38.320
defining story of failure among progressives maniatis said pinpointing the refusal of democratic leaders
00:59:45.920
to address a quote chaotic border system particularly over the last decade is it possible that the
00:59:55.360
democrats use of chaos as their their one big word against trump is it possible now that the word is just
01:00:03.360
become normalized to the point where they're using against themselves you know it seems like the
01:00:11.600
democrats are now competing to see who can say the worst thing about democrats
01:00:16.800
right because there's a little bit of competition of who could be the most honest about knowing
01:00:24.720
that biden was mentally incompetent but now there's further competition to say oh god we were bad about
01:00:34.560
that border yeah yeah i gotta admit we sure we're bad about the border and they're even using their own code word
01:00:42.880
chaos i don't know it struck me that that was fun
01:00:48.800
i saw a story that at first i thought was terrible but maybe it isn't um governor newsom of california
01:00:59.200
in his uh new budget he's calling for closing yet another prison in california which would be the fifth one
01:01:07.920
that would have been closed during the binded or the newsom administration
01:01:11.520
now when you hear that he's going to close five prisons or or close the fifth one four have already
01:01:19.360
been closed doesn't that suggest to you that he's letting criminals out or whether somehow they'll just
01:01:26.640
let the criminals run free and not put them in prison well maybe but his argument is that crime is down
01:01:35.520
and they just don't need it is that possible do you think crime is actually down and falling
01:01:45.280
and that it's falling at a predictable enough rate that he can close another prison
01:01:52.320
that would be kind of awesome do you think it would have anything to do with closing the border
01:01:57.520
yes so it might be that closing the border although i doubt that had anything to do with the first four
01:02:07.520
that he closed it could be the closing the border has a predictable effect on crime that the governor
01:02:14.560
of california is saying you know what we might have too many prisons i don't know if they're connected
01:02:21.440
yet so i'm just speculating well because democrats uh can't they they seem to be unable to do anything
01:02:32.960
right in terms of messaging uh now some democratic lawmakers are pushing hard again for reparations
01:02:41.920
so uh representative summer lee democrat pennsylvania she's going to reintroduce
01:02:48.080
uh and this has been first introduced in 2023 by cory bush but they're going to reintroduce some reparations
01:02:56.800
um ideas and uh trying to make up for all those bad things in the past what do you think about that
01:03:07.280
do you do you think that uh the thing that will help the democrats uh in the midterms and in 2028 will
01:03:14.640
be their push for reparations i i'd love to see uh james carville's opinion about that paging james carville
01:03:25.920
do you think this is the time to talk about reparations do you think they seized the moment just right
01:03:37.200
i'm seeing something online it's not a big trend yet but it's going under the tag of uh
01:03:44.640
black fatigue is that it black do i have that right black fatigue but it's the idea that just
01:03:51.360
people are getting tired of listening to uh black specific problems and it does feel to me like this
01:04:00.880
isn't the right moment for that and you know my take on it is i used to be um extra interested in
01:04:10.560
black american problems most of my adult life under the theory that if you could help the people who
01:04:16.480
were in the deepest hole uh that would be the best thing for the country so if you could take somebody
01:04:23.520
somebody from can't get a job to got a job or can't get into college to got into college or doesn't have a
01:04:32.480
good education to got a good education that you get enormous benefits you know better than if somebody
01:04:40.640
got a 10 raise at the job they already had so my thinking was well just make sense i mean just make
01:04:47.280
sense that you would focus in that area because that's where the the deepest problem is you reverse
01:04:52.720
that you really get some some good societal gains but i'm just so tired of it all and now i just think
01:05:02.880
everybody's got problems there's nobody with special problems and so when i hear any group saying
01:05:10.160
i've got a special problems and you should give me some money i just think i'm bored and i don't care
01:05:16.400
you're boring me and i don't care do they have a point i don't care do they have a good historical
01:05:26.400
argument for reparations i don't care because everybody's got a good argument for why they
01:05:34.400
should get some extra too so do i i've been discriminated against for 50 years
01:05:41.360
do you care no you don't care why should i care about anybody else so no i have i have some kind of
01:05:51.120
fatigue don't care but i think james carville will be funny if he weighs in on this because if the
01:05:59.520
democrats don't have anything that's working that's the worst time to throw this into the mix
01:06:05.600
it's just not going to get you any extra votes well according to the news the the eu is going to
01:06:19.040
put new sanctions on russia because putin skipped that peace talks in turkey so poor little zelensky
01:06:29.120
went down to turkey and he thought he was going to meet with putin and then putin just ghosted him
01:06:36.400
which to me is funny it's funny that he ghosted him but then you know he sent some low-level people
01:06:42.720
and then they all said well this is worthless so they just already ended the meeting um trump has
01:06:48.320
said that he's already he's ready to meet with putin to try to work things out but apparently the eu
01:06:54.960
is going to put some extra sanctions on russia so we'll see if that makes any difference
01:07:02.000
um but it does suggest that the trump approach of making all wars commercial wars you know he if you
01:07:13.440
want to be part of the world commercial system you better stop your physical wars
01:07:18.560
um but we'll see if trump can get something done there in other news newsmax is reporting that uh
01:07:26.080
health and human services is gonna stop advising covid shots for kids and pregnant women
01:07:33.120
to which i said to myself wait they were still advising that all right are any of you surprised that they were
01:07:43.120
you don't have to be a doctor to know that that was a bad idea you just have to be a little bit
01:07:52.480
aware of the news my god really and and they haven't stopped yet that they've just announced that
01:08:00.800
they're going to how about just get this done how about just saying pick up the phone or write a memo or
01:08:09.840
sign an executive order how about stopping it right now why are you gonna wait a week jesus all right
01:08:19.840
got a little worked up today that's all i got for you today see if you can embarrass your republican
01:08:28.400

01:08:34.400
