uh don't check your stocks do not check your stocks today it wouldn't be a good
00:00:07.760
day to do that but let's get the comments working
00:00:21.040
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:36.240
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance
00:00:42.800
on taking it up to another level all you need is a copper you think i would have memorized this
00:00:50.560
by now uh cover a mug or a glass of tank or chalice is not a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind
00:00:57.600
fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of
00:01:03.200
the dopamine of the day a thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip
00:01:22.000
all right well big story of the day you may have heard that joe biden has prostate cancer but it's
00:01:31.200
not the good kind it's the bad kind there there's something you need to know about prostate cancer
00:01:38.880
if it's localized and it hasn't left your prostate it's 100 curable but if it leaves your prostate and
00:01:49.280
spreads to other parts of your body in this case joe biden has it in his bones it is 100
00:01:56.320
percent not curable so it's not curable at all so um i'd like to extend my respect and compassion and
00:02:07.280
sympathy for the ex-president and his family because they're going to be going through uh an especially
00:02:13.520
tough time it's a terrible disease it's going to get very painful for the president if you know if
00:02:21.360
something else doesn't take him out first because he's a certain age um there one of the things i've
00:02:29.040
been watching is how terrible the public is and i'll tell you uh there's no sympathy for joe biden for
00:02:39.280
a lot of people and it's hard to watch um especially because the public has all decided to become
00:02:46.400
uh prostate experts the the number of people who have said things that i'm pretty sure are not right
00:02:56.480
is kind of shocking so and and i have to say that even some of the doctors who have appeared on
00:03:03.840
social media and on the tv i don't think they're right either and i'll tell you why in a little bit
00:03:11.040
um but the big question is how long does it take to go from a clean bill of health to stage four prostate
00:03:22.160
cancer so i heard some one doctor say uh it would take seven to ten years or something like that
00:03:30.800
um i don't think that's right i think there's actually a tremendous variability of how long it
00:03:38.560
takes to go from localized in the prostate and your psa spikes to uh-oh it is spread to your bones
00:03:49.200
i'll give you some more information about that in a minute i guess uh his doctor kevin o'connor
00:03:57.040
biden's doctor said in back in august of 2024 said that uh he had a clean bill of health and he was just
00:04:07.840
looking good so is it you might ask yourself is it possible that he was not showing signs in august of
00:04:18.800
2024 but that between then and now that he not only showed signs but that it had spread to his bones
00:04:29.520
and the answer is yeah that's possible yeah i don't think it would be too common but it's probably
00:04:38.800
possible because i think i spend some time on grok there's a very wide a very wide um
00:04:48.480
variability now one of the things that you might not be aware of is that sometimes the biopsy itself
00:04:56.480
can be the cause of the spread in cancers in general because sometimes if the cancer is in the
00:05:03.680
prostate i think there's like a five percent chance or something like that that just messing around
00:05:10.160
taking a taking a sample might be what releases it into your blood no reason to believe that's what
00:05:16.320
happened with biden but you never know um but arguing that it has been something that he's known about for a
00:05:25.680
long time would be a gaffe he made three years ago where he said in public that he has cancer
00:05:33.840
but i think he was just misspeaking but maybe not yeah maybe he accidentally said the truth i don't know
00:05:45.440
and then his brother frank biden has admitted that uh in his opinion that joe biden withdrew from the
00:05:52.800
presidential race due to serious health concerns but he wasn't specific about which health concerns
00:06:00.880
um i would think that his cognitive concerns would be enough not to run for president but he may have
00:06:08.560
had more concerns than that um so we don't know exactly what was happening with him and i'm not sure we
00:06:18.640
will but the political implications because everything has a political implication with these guys
00:06:25.440
is that does it seem to you like a coincidence that that this news dropped just as the tapper book is
00:06:34.640
going to come out and everybody's talking about his his cognitive abilities i feel like
00:06:42.880
that's a pretty big coincidence but it but it could be it could be a coincidence um but it does have the effect of
00:06:50.400
turning his attention you know turning our attention away from his cognitive stuff

for details please play responsibly all right well i've decided that today is a day i'm going to
00:08:03.760
take the opportunity since a lot of you are here to make an announcement of my own
00:08:10.160
um some of you have already guessed so this won't surprise you at all but uh i have the same cancer
00:08:19.120
that joe biden has uh so i also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones but i've had it
00:08:27.840
longer than he's had it well longer than he's admitted having it so my life expectancy is
00:08:34.960
uh maybe this summer uh i'd expect uh i expect to be checking out from this uh domain sometime this
00:08:44.720
summer now uh in california i've got an option that he doesn't have um and i was actually an activist
00:08:54.880
when california was considering this and in california once you get to the point where you're
00:09:01.520
uh you're definitely going to die you're terminal there is a very civilized process where you can get
00:09:10.080
some uh juice that you drink that makes you fall asleep and then you pass away so you do that when the
00:09:20.160
when the disease becomes intolerable now the disease is already intolerable uh i can tell you that i don't
00:09:27.680
have good days so if you're wondering hey scott do you have any good days nope nope every day is a
00:09:37.360
nightmare and evening is even worse so if you're wondering uh those of you who are subscribers to my
00:09:45.360
locals channel if you're wondering why i had to stop the uh the evening man caves part of it was
00:09:53.840
because because of the behavior of the uh the people on it but a lot of it was because i don't really
00:10:01.520
function too well after the show so i do have the ability to kind of get up for this part of the day
00:10:09.680
um but i'm in pain and i'm always in pain and the pain moves around to different parts of my body
00:10:18.080
i've been using a walker to walk for months now um so you know it's basically intolerable
00:10:29.840
i'm glad i was part of the activism that got the uh the law passed in california so you can
00:10:36.800
take yourself out now i realize that for some of you this is hitting you kind of hard because you're
00:10:42.960
hearing it for the first time uh weirdly since it's it's old news to me um i've just sort of processed
00:10:53.040
it so it just sort of is what it is and i have to say that you know everybody has to die as far as i
00:11:00.800
know and it's kind of civilized that you know about how long you have so you can put your affairs
00:11:10.080
together and make sure you've said your goodbyes and done all the things you need to do so if you
00:11:15.920
had to if you had to pick a way to die this one's really painful like really really painful um but it's
00:11:25.520
also kind of good that it gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things
00:11:31.840
up um do you remember last year i was making a big deal online about the claims that ivermectin and
00:11:42.560
fenbenazole are a cure for this exact condition well in case you're wondering i did try that
00:11:51.280
and i did try it with the assistance of the doctor who was the the famous doctor dr mackis
00:12:00.080
and it wasn't that i believed it would work it was just that there wasn't much downside risk
00:12:07.680
so with my doctor's you know blessing um he didn't think it would work of course
00:12:14.480
and it didn't work at all so i did it for a few months my psa probably went up
00:12:21.440
by a factor of 10 during that time so what i was hoping was that it would work
00:12:28.640
and then i could be you know part of the solution wouldn't that have been cool
00:12:33.360
and so i was teasing you that i was working on something that could be like life-changing
00:12:40.080
but it didn't work um so i can't say that it never worked for anybody with
00:12:45.120
some different cancer or some different situation but i can tell you it didn't work at all for me
00:12:51.680
so that's all i know about that you might wonder why it took me so long to tell you
00:13:00.560
and i think i owe you an answer to that number one it would change my life
00:13:08.160
because everybody would start treating me like the cancer guy you can't really back
00:13:14.960
like there's no there's no second way that goes you know once you go public you're just
00:13:22.640
the dying cancer guy and i didn't want you to have to think about it and i didn't want to have to
00:13:28.720
think about it now i wasn't lying when i told you that my my walking and my mobility problems were
00:13:37.040
arthritis and problem with my discs that is true but it turns out that as bad luck would have it
00:13:46.400
um i have arthritis in the same place that you know my discs are bad um in my back but also a tumor
00:13:58.160
so one of my tumors is in the same place so i got the sort of triple whammy so oh my god does it hurt
00:14:07.200
most days you know i do painkillers when i can but uh most of the day i just veg out
00:14:16.400
become sort of a zombie and i just slip in and out of sleep and wait for the next day
00:14:24.080
so this is actually the only thing i do um you know the morning show and i'll keep doing it as long
00:14:32.000
as i can as long as i can tolerate it but uh if you're wondering if i'll get better the answer is no
00:14:39.680
it will only get worse there's only one direction this goes now the reason that i'm telling
00:14:46.240
you now um is i was i was getting ready to tell you but i was looking for you know the right time
00:14:54.160
etc uh i wanted to get past my stepdaughter's wedding which is over so i got past that um
00:15:04.640
but uh when joe biden went public with his situation i thought to myself you know what i'm
00:15:13.040
gonna slide under his story and he's gonna take away a lot of the a lot of the attention because
00:15:21.120
you know ex-president so i thought i would uh you know it would just be a little bit easier for me to
00:15:29.680
to tag onto that and you know if you're thinking about prostate cancer you're going to be thinking
00:15:36.320
about him as much as me so it just takes a little of the energy away that's my that's my thought
00:15:42.000
anyway now having watched how people treated joe biden um when the diagnosis came people are really
00:15:52.320
cruel they're really bad and i was expecting and of course this could happen um people are going to
00:16:01.440
say it's because i got the the covid shot there's no indication that that makes a difference people
00:16:09.120
are going to say um it's something i brought on myself they're going to say it's because i lived a
00:16:16.080
bad life i don't know but people are going to be really really terrible so i wanted to reduce the
00:16:25.120
number of months for weeks i don't know what what i have left weeks or months um i wanted to reduce the
00:16:33.120
time that people were being terrible to me online because it's going to be going to be kind of hard to
00:16:39.680
spend any time online all of my enemies in other words people were democrats mostly
00:16:47.600
they're going to come after me pretty hard so you know i have to put up with that but i'm ready for
00:16:56.320
that um you should know well if you didn't already know i am unusually mentally tough so while this could
00:17:07.440
be much worse you know for some people i suppose i'm handling it quite well uh the the pain
00:17:15.600
pain is tough i mean really tough but the mental part you know i got that under control and i can see
00:17:25.840
in the comments that some of you are having a tough time with it but remember nothing lasts forever
00:17:32.640
nothing lasts forever so i hope you don't mind that i hit it from you
00:17:38.560
um i wanted as uh i wanted as many normal months as i can get now many of you are going to ask me a
00:17:48.960
lot of questions you're going to say you know what did you what did you do to treat it and when did you
00:17:55.040
know and you know when did you know your psa was high and all that and i'm not going to answer those
00:18:01.600
questions because um you can imagine right what a problem that would be if i started answering questions
00:18:11.040
about all of my medical decisions but um so now you know by the way there were there were some people
00:18:20.960
who guessed correctly i think owen guessed uh owen you you totally knew didn't you not necessarily which
00:18:30.560
specific cancer but you totally knew so you got that right and uh yesterday on uh on x somebody i didn't
00:18:41.440
know um said it was obvious and i thought to myself yeah it's kind of obvious you know the the one good
00:18:50.000
thing about having having this particular cancer is that it's impossible to gain weight
00:18:58.160
so i can eat as much as i want of anything and and i'll still lose weight yeah i don't have the
00:19:12.240
all right so a lot of things will start making sense now as you remember things i said or decisions
00:19:20.560
i made or things i did you now you have the right context you can put it all in there um
00:19:29.680
speaking of which according to corwell health there's a breakthrough therapy for rare cancers
00:19:38.160
they use something called proton therapy and it's not fda approved it'll be approved next next year but
00:19:45.680
apparently it's highly effective at getting hard to treat cancers and it can zap your tumors all over
00:19:53.200
your body and uh with almost no side effects so what the other reason that i wanted to um keep my
00:20:02.960
announcement about my own situation um and then i saw that you know biden did made it a story
00:20:11.520
i thought to myself you know what there will probably be people who have things in the lab
00:20:18.240
that are uh maybe that they think are a cure for metastatic uh prostate cancer and because an ex
00:20:29.920
president has it they might think this is the time to mention it um and so that would work for my favor too
00:20:44.080
proton therapy has been around for many many years
00:20:48.480
well they don't have fda approval for the way they're doing it in this particular case
00:20:55.280
all right so i'm going to give you a little bit of news that's not about me
00:21:00.960
and we'll see how close we can get to normal i know it's going to be hard but if you don't mind i'd
00:21:10.880
like to um be as normal as possible for as long as i can and so that requires me now to tell you about
00:21:20.480
the news if you don't mind time for yeah that that's the reason i was looking into ai scott
00:21:30.320
by the way there's there's something else that was a mystery that maybe now makes sense
00:21:38.720
do you remember that i was doing a live stream and one of you asked
00:21:43.040
um what do i see in trump's uh once trump gets elected and i told you i only saw a black
00:21:54.560
that's before i knew that this was terminal so i knew before i knew because i've always seen my future
00:22:05.520
since i was a little kid i i could see my future and i could see very specific parts of it you know
00:22:11.440
even the house i lived in the job i got uh everything and when you asked me what do i see for the coming
00:22:20.160
year i just saw black i've never seen that before and uh i tried to play it off but i knew what it was
00:22:29.920
i didn't know the specifics but i knew my my time was over so anyway i'm going to talk about some
00:22:40.480
stories in the news uh i don't know if it'll get your mind off it but that's why we're here right
00:22:48.160
talking about the stories in the news so let's see what happens
00:22:55.760
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:23:07.040
think so christopher rufo noticed that harvard had a hiring guide online and the hiring guide actually
00:23:18.400
specifically had instructions for not hiring white men and and it wasn't subtle it said we're not hiring
00:23:29.040
white men and that they should just avoid hiring white men well after chris verrufo um went public with
00:23:39.600
that harvard got rid of that page but i don't think they got rid of the practice
00:23:50.480
um i went from you know respecting harvard and thinking oh i wish i'd gone there
00:23:59.280
to thinking it's completely ruined they're they're really just a racist organization
00:24:07.280
and that's the primary way i see them i see them as racists at least the administration
00:24:13.200
administration so that's all extremely illegal and uh the more pressure that trump puts on him the
00:24:21.680
better well let's check in with mayor brandon johnson chicago um he was in an interview recently and
00:24:31.440
he said the reason i hire so many blacks to run chicago is because we're the we're planet earth's most
00:24:51.360
what do you say about that other than it's just super racist my god but he gets away with it of course
00:25:00.880
well you may have heard that the big beautiful bill the budget bill uh has advanced down of the
00:25:07.680
budget committee and uh i guess david uh friedberg of uh you know from the all in pod podcast he said
00:25:17.840
that americans should be ashamed of this bill and i agree he said if you're an american you should feel
00:25:25.280
shame that your elected officials are proposing that this is the bill that gets passed
00:25:30.080
um that we vaporize this much money that we put ourselves this much further in debt that we do not
00:25:38.720
treat the situation as a fiscal emergency than it is we're now burning an additional 2.5 trillion a
00:25:45.600
year added to our debt load now what did mike johnson say about it mike johnson said they cut 900 billion
00:26:01.840
they're aiming at cutting 900 billion over 10 years do you know what that means it means they're not
00:26:08.240
going to cut 900 billion if they cut anything at all if they cut anything they'll just replace it with a
00:26:16.000
tax break or some damn thing so as uh friedberg says we are in a fiscal crisis and we're not willing to admit
00:26:28.080
it now that's what i see that i see a fiscal crisis that we're just acting like it isn't and it's the damnedest
00:26:38.240
thing but i saw scott besant he was on the nbc meet the press and he was talking about it but he's got a
00:26:47.040
he's got a different way he approaches it uh numbers wise and he's really smart but i wonder if he's lying
00:26:56.400
meaning that i wonder if what he says is is persuasive to him or if he just thinks he can get away with
00:27:04.880
saying it but what he says is he inherited a 6.7 deficit and gdp which was the highest deficit
00:27:15.200
when we're not at war and on the recession so he basically says we have to grow the economy faster
00:27:22.000
so that our gdp is a bigger percentage compared to our debt now compared to our deficit
00:27:31.360
now do you think we could grow our economy fast enough to get out of this fiscal problem while
00:27:41.760
we're still spending two trillion dollars or 2.5 maybe more than we make i don't think so
00:27:52.160
and i think if we got to the point where we're growing that fast wouldn't we have inflation
00:27:58.160
and wouldn't the fed need to raise the interest rates to stop the growth because if the growth is
00:28:06.400
too fast you get inflation i don't know if it's possible to grow our way uh out of this but i also
00:28:17.200
don't know if scott besant thinks it's possible or he just needs to say something and it sounds good
00:28:23.520
and people like oh okay i don't know much about economics but if you say so we'll just grow our
00:28:35.680
now trump uh keeps upping the number of investment for the investments he brought into the country from
00:28:42.560
his middle east trip now he's saying 10 trillion but you know as as you might imagine some of it was
00:28:52.160
going to happen anyway so it's not as new as you think and um um and then some of it would be you
00:29:03.760
know spread over 10 years and it's going to take a while for them to build any facilities that
00:29:09.760
anybody's going to work at so it's better than nothing but uh i don't know if it's fast enough
00:29:17.040
meanwhile over in japan the prime minister ishiba said that japan's financial situation is worse than
00:29:25.120
greece do you remember when greece completely fell apart and they had you know their economy was just
00:29:33.040
completely broken well they they seem to have somehow righted the ship i don't know how they did it but
00:29:41.280
uh japan's numbers are worse you know their their debt to gdp or whatever it is is actually worse
00:29:48.720
than greece and greece was a disaster now there are some people who are saying that the uh the
00:29:55.680
demographic collapse because they're just not having babies over there the demographic collapse may be
00:30:02.640
part of it but i think almost every country is experiencing some kind of a debt problem
00:30:08.480
so whatever it is that we need we're going to need it fast
00:30:18.080
um in other news tech crunch is reporting that uh so apple has got an ai that's built into it for
00:30:27.680
the chinese market and the ai is china's ai alibaba alibaba is powering the ai
00:30:44.960
um you're gonna have alibaba ai do you trust it what kind of information is it going to collect about
00:30:57.440
real quiet as according according to tech crunch well dan bongino and cash patel were on uh maria
00:31:08.480
bartiroma's show on fox news recently and made some news bongino says that epstein did kill himself
00:31:18.640
and he said i've seen the whole file uh cash patel said the same thing and they both said it with
00:31:27.440
confidence now here's the thing uh dan bongino is not a liar so this would be clearly what he believes
00:31:40.080
to be true and he's seen more than we've seen he's seen the whole file but is the whole file real
00:31:49.120
how would we know the file is is accurate and includes everything well alex jones is not having
00:31:56.640
any of it and uh although he's a big fan of cash patel and dan bongino um he gives his own argument for
00:32:06.240
why it couldn't possibly be anything but a murder and he makes a pretty good case makes a good case
00:32:13.600
so there are a lot of coincidences like the uh technical problem that deleted the video
00:32:21.280
really technical problem that deleted the video and uh number of the number of other big coincidences
00:32:30.800
you know like the two people who were watching him for suicide watch they both took a nap at the same time
00:32:36.800
okay so i don't know what to think but i do think that uh bongino and cash patel are telling the truth
00:32:49.200
as they say it um you know unless unless they got somehow turned by some powerful forces but i feel like
00:33:00.080
i feel like they're straight shooters so i'm gonna i'm gonna believe that they believe it
00:33:06.800
but i'm not gonna believe it yet because there's just too many sketchy things happening there
00:33:14.080
i'm chris hadfield i'm an astronaut an author a citizen of planet earth join me for a six-part
00:33:20.960
journey into the systems that power the world real conversations with real people who are shaping
00:33:27.760
the future of energy no politics no empty talk just solutions focused conversations on the
00:33:35.280
challenges we must overcome and the possibilities that lie ahead this is on energy listen wherever
00:33:42.640
you get your podcasts they also made news saying that they've discovered some more revolution
00:33:50.560
revelations things we hadn't heard before about russia collusion which was the crossfire hurricane
00:33:58.480
project within the fbi now we don't know what that is but apparently we're gonna our eyes are gonna go boing
00:34:07.520
when we find out because it's apparently gonna make news um so patel said that the fbi has uncovered a quote
00:34:19.360
tranche a tranche only the government uses that word right have you ever used tranche for anything
00:34:31.760
a tranche of hidden russiagate documents related to crossfire hurricane
00:34:37.680
um and i guess kash patel was the lead russiagate investigator for the house intelligence committee
00:34:44.960
and it's stuff he's never seen before and apparently some of it is pretty damning
00:34:52.080
um and it's about uh well it's just people were hiding things now if you say to yourself
00:35:01.760
um wow those those people involved with that are in a lot of trouble like
00:35:06.640
comey and mccabe and strock it turns out they're not because there's a a five-year
00:35:15.920
statute of limitation on those alleged crimes so even if we found out that they did everything that
00:35:23.120
you thought they did there would be no legal recourse just because enough times gone by
00:35:30.640
un-frickin-believable well meanwhile trump trump wants to investigate uh how kamala harris uh may have
00:35:44.640
bought um endorsements from beyonce bono and oprah and bruce springsteen so you're not supposed to buy
00:35:54.960
endorsements but uh what harris and her campaign did was they paid these people to show up and they paid
00:36:05.120
them to perform in some cases and then they endorsed her but i don't think that's a crime if the people
00:36:15.760
who did the endorsing were clearly going to endorse her anyway or were already big fans so i can't
00:36:24.000
imagine that beyonce bono oprah and springsteen were going to support trump so i don't really think
00:36:33.120
you're going to find any crime there but i love the fact that trump finds a new monday way to make us
00:36:39.760
think of stuff the the other thing that trump said was um he said some nice words about the
00:36:46.800
the the the biden family you know and and joe biden's medical problem and he wished him a uh a speedy
00:36:56.800
recovery except it's fatal there's no recovery so i wonder if he knew that when he said it i don't know
00:37:09.360
so it was a little bit trollish all right here's a big story that's almost impossible to understand
00:37:19.520
it is one of these mike ben's kind of stories where there's a three-letter agency that did something
00:37:25.520
with another three-letter agency that did something with another agency until something bad happened
00:37:33.360
let's see if i can summarize this so there was a non-profit they got federal funding
00:37:41.520
to develop censorship strategies uh that they boasted about in their progress reports
00:37:48.240
now i got this from just the news the the outlet just the news um
00:37:53.920
um so they boasted in a progress report to the ned which is the national endowment for democracy
00:38:02.320
that their early tactics had suppressed the reach of donald trump's messaging
00:38:07.520
and reduced advertising by a hundred million to news outlets it deemed to be disinformation spreaders
00:38:22.160
well i'm i feel like it should be illegal or it is illegal so our tax dollars were going to somebody
00:38:36.160
it's almost so mind-boggling you can't even understand it and i guess the global disinformation index
00:38:43.520
the gdi got grants through some other u.s based affiliate and the grants were paid to develop
00:38:55.920
strategies on how to fight perceived disinformation in foreign countries but then apparently they turned
00:39:02.880
that against the united states against trump and any trump friendly publications so that's scary
00:39:13.920
and they relied heavily on research from the southern property law center
00:39:26.560
i'm just looking at somebody's long message about
00:39:30.720
okay yeah we're i'm not going to take any medical advice
00:39:36.560
so i appreciate it but don't give me any medical advice please
00:39:49.760
there's a story that says the european union is going to freeze the nordstream pipeline for good
00:39:56.800
they're not going to let it be repaired so that would be part of sanctioning russia
00:40:02.640
because russia thought it was going to rebuild the nordstream pipeline that mysteriously blew up
00:40:08.160
but uh now the european union says nope it's not going to be rebuilt and uh they're putting together a package of other
00:40:20.640
of of other sanctions i guess we'll see if that makes a difference
00:40:28.720
netanyahu has said that the military will take control of all of gaza
00:40:40.240
practically day one when they attacked gaza that they were going to completely control it and
00:40:47.360
so now they're they're just saying it directly that the military will take control of all of gaza
00:40:53.600
and they will get rid of all the terrorists and you know they're going to say
00:40:59.600
it'll help them rescue the hostages but that part will be tough
00:41:04.320
well trump keeps saying that uh iran had sort of agreed to terms and you know was close to something
00:41:14.560
like a deal but uh iran's foreign minister said deal or no deal we're still going to be doing our
00:41:21.920
nuclear thing meaning that it wouldn't matter what they signed they're still going to be enriching
00:41:38.720
anyway so the source of this is uh fox news and uh secretary robert gates was on uh face the nation
00:41:47.280
and he said iran's in a very weak place now and if there's an opportunity to do a deal on nuclear
00:41:54.160
this is it are they is iran in a really weak place now
00:42:03.120
i don't know so i don't think they're so weak that they're going to give up their uranium enrichment
00:42:10.480
so i don't see any path for a deal because it can't be true that they don't do uranium enrichment
00:42:19.680
which is what we want at the same time they definitely do uranium enrichment what would be
00:42:26.160
the middle ground between doing it and not doing it i know that the united states has said oh well
00:42:32.880
you know we'll provide it for you but would iran trust its mortal enemy to provide it with the enriched
00:42:41.920
uranium it needs i don't think so so they're being somewhat rational
00:42:57.200
that's all i got for today i'm gonna keep it short i know i shocked you earlier with my little
00:43:02.960
announcement if you're uh just joining i was telling people that i have the same cancer that
00:43:08.640
uh joe biden has um it's metastasized to my bones it's fatal and uh i don't have too much too much
00:43:18.400
longer maybe a few months probably this summer i'll be checking out but uh that's all i got for today
00:43:28.000
and uh i don't think i'm going to talk to the locals people privately because you're just going to feel bad
00:43:39.600
um so if you don't mind i think i'll take a pass on that
00:43:50.880
um say goodbye well i mean for today and i'll talk to the rest of you tomorrow i mean i'll be here
00:44:01.920
tomorrow so we don't have to plan too far in advance all right stop crying all of you if i'm not crying
00:44:12.080
you can't cry you you can't be sadder than i am about my cancer all right bye for now
