Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2851 CWSA 05⧸26⧸25

00:00:00.000 Do you say happy Memorial Day, or do you just say...

00:00:04.820 Memorial Day always confuses me.

00:00:07.880 What's the most respectful thing to say?

00:00:12.920 Just, it's Memorial Day.

00:00:18.600 Hmm.

00:00:21.200 Looks like we got more people on locals than anything else today.

00:00:27.280 Is there some problem with YouTube?

00:00:29.060 We'll have four people coming in from YouTube.

00:00:32.760 That's weird.

00:00:35.740 Maybe something's going on over there.

00:00:39.280 Hey, YouTube's just frozen out for four people.

00:00:42.160 Huh.

00:00:43.460 Weird.

00:00:45.040 All right.

00:00:47.380 Do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:51.360 Once again, I'm your...

00:00:53.580 I'm your holiday...

00:00:57.060 Not a lazy podcaster like those other people.

00:01:06.380 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:01:10.600 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:01:14.440 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with

00:01:20.760 their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank 0.99

00:01:26.440 or gels or sign a kinteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:31.120 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:32.900 I like coffee.

00:01:33.700 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:01:38.560 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:40.320 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen right now.

00:01:44.460 Go.

00:01:44.660 That was just enough.

00:01:55.480 Just what I needed.

00:01:57.220 My co-host today will be President Trump.

00:02:01.120 Fox and friends in the morning, they're very honorable people.

00:02:06.060 From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. 0.99

00:02:13.280 All right.

00:02:14.000 Well, that's enough of that.

00:02:18.340 Well, did you know that the Tesla Optimus robot is going to use the same battery as the car?

00:02:27.800 I don't believe it's going to be the same size, though.

00:02:31.300 But apparently, your Optimus robot will be able to work all day long.

00:02:38.580 I was kind of wondering how much you could get out of your robot before it had to charge itself.

00:02:46.160 But apparently, all day long.

00:02:49.540 And Musk has one of the toughest summers ever.

00:02:54.020 Because not only is Austin getting ready for full self-driving, so Musk has to focus on that.

00:03:03.840 I saw somebody say that X might be gaining the ability to send money and the ability to chat.

00:03:13.260 Which I guess would be different than DMing, I guess.

00:03:19.320 And so he's working on that and Starship launch and AI.

00:03:23.800 And he's working on the DMs working.

00:03:29.320 Because the DMs were not working again today.

00:03:32.100 He's got the busiest summer.

00:03:35.240 Man, we're not going to hear much from him.

00:03:37.440 Did you know, according to the new Atlas, that the Air Force is planning a rocket that can bring

00:03:46.780 some enormous amount, 100 tons of cargo, to anywhere on Earth in 90 minutes?

00:03:55.360 100 tons.

00:03:56.280 Now, I assume that's just for either military or emergency response.

00:04:03.340 You wouldn't really want to spend that much money to bring 100 tons of cargo anywhere.

00:04:08.800 But how could that compete with Starship?

00:04:13.780 I'm kind of puzzled.

00:04:16.780 Because I don't think the U.S. Air Force knows how to make that reusable.

00:04:23.720 And maybe it's not.

00:04:25.020 Maybe it just stays there.

00:04:27.840 There's something wrong with that story.

00:04:30.560 I don't believe you could just, the Air Force could land a giant rocket anywhere they want in 90 minutes.

00:04:37.800 And then it could take off and go back home.

00:04:41.200 I don't think so.

00:04:43.120 But that's the story.

00:04:46.500 Well, you've heard versions of this before.

00:04:50.360 But apparently, the University of Pennsylvania has found yet another material that can collect water and then release it without any energy.

00:05:01.360 So you'd be able to just, I don't know, hang it up on a clothesline and have it make water out of the air.

00:05:09.980 So the whole problem of running out of water might not be a problem.

00:05:17.920 It makes me wonder if you could put like a little bit of it on a plant.

00:05:21.340 And then you'd never have to water the plant.

00:05:25.720 Would that be cool?

00:05:27.120 If you never had to water it?

00:05:28.720 They just took the water out of the air and just dropped it on the plant.

00:05:32.680 That'd be kind of cool.

00:05:33.680 Well, according to PJ Media, the New York Times has a big story about the Democratic Party being in a death spiral.

00:05:47.560 If your political party is ever referred to as being in a death spiral, that's bad.

00:05:55.680 But I guess the evidence includes the fact that, let's see, in the 2024 election, six times as many counties shifted toward the GOP as toward the Democrats.

00:06:09.920 Well, I guess it was just a gigantic shift.

00:06:15.680 So they say that Trump has built an unstoppable coalition of working class people.

00:06:20.720 And the only people left who are representative of the Democrats would be basically wine-drinking college moms. 1.00

00:06:34.240 That's just me.

00:06:37.720 According to the Epoch Times, Doge says it completed the major cleanup of Social Security records.

00:06:47.200 So, you know, all those records of, there were like 12 million people on the data who were over the age of 120.

00:06:59.040 So they got rid of about 12 million records.

00:07:03.280 12.3 million records that were apparently people who now have been marked as deceased.

00:07:10.260 So they didn't used to be marked as deceased, which means probably fraud.

00:07:16.520 Probably 12 million people fraudulently collecting Social Security.

00:07:22.420 But they put an end to that.

00:07:25.740 Well, you know how Trump had threatened the European Union with a 50% tariff?

00:07:31.900 Well, they called him Sunday night and said, please don't do that.

00:07:35.880 And I guess it was a good phone call and Trump agreed to push it in a month.

00:07:43.220 You know, once again, that whole threatening of a tariff, it seems to work every time.

00:07:49.760 Because the main thing he wanted is for them to just get serious about negotiating.

00:07:55.540 And if they weren't serious or they weren't doing it fast enough, he's just all 50% tariff.

00:08:05.880 Tariff for you, tariff for you.

00:08:08.560 And then they call him and they say, no.

00:08:12.000 And then he says, all right, if you're just going to try much harder to get this done.

00:08:17.300 So that tariff threat is working.

00:08:22.180 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,

00:08:27.540 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:08:30.460 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:08:33.380 Are those from Winners?

00:08:34.580 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

00:08:37.380 Did she pay full price?

00:08:38.720 Or that leather tote?

00:08:39.740 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:08:40.920 Or those knee-high boots?

00:08:42.360 That dress?

00:08:43.180 That jacket?

00:08:43.860 Those shoes?

00:08:44.880 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:08:47.820 Stop wondering.

00:08:49.120 Start winning.

00:08:50.040 Winners.

00:08:50.640 Find fabulous for less.

00:08:52.900 So I saw a long post on X yesterday by Stephen Miller.

00:08:58.500 Now, as you know, Stephen Miller is an important part of the administration,

00:09:02.640 one of the smarter people there.

00:09:04.320 And he wanted to explain that people had it wrong about the big, beautiful bill, the budget bill.

00:09:12.760 And he went into great detail saying how it would lower taxes and lower the deficit, too. 0.99

00:09:18.940 And I couldn't understand the damn sentence in there. 0.98

00:09:24.900 Almost none of it made sense to me. 0.98

00:09:27.420 Now, it doesn't mean he's wrong, because he seemed to have a good grasp of the topic.

00:09:33.620 He had a much greater detail than I've seen before.

00:09:36.880 So he might be right, but I can't tell.

00:09:42.900 I can't tell by his writing.

00:09:44.940 It was just amazingly impenetrable.

00:09:49.880 But might have been right.

00:09:51.580 I don't know.

00:09:52.720 But meanwhile, Ron Johnson, Republican, who is very much on the side of the president

00:09:58.220 and the side of Stephen Miller, he says the opposite.

00:10:01.900 He says that the budget's going to exacerbate the national deficit.

00:10:10.680 So could it be true that Stephen Miller is right that it will decrease the deficit,

00:10:17.260 while Ron Johnson is right that it will increase it?

00:10:21.600 We can't tell.

00:10:24.580 It's really complicated.

00:10:25.900 And the other thing that you need to know, and I wonder how many of you knew this,

00:10:35.120 there's essentially the budget is cut in two parts.

00:10:40.020 There's a small part, which is this.

00:10:43.440 The so-called Big Beautiful Bill is actually the smallest part of the budget.

00:10:47.600 And you only need 51 votes to pass it.

00:10:53.360 So that works for the Republicans, because they have a slight majority.

00:10:58.140 So they can get this budget reconciliation process, as they call it,

00:11:03.720 through with a narrow vote if it comes to that.

00:11:06.880 But the biggest part of the budget, they would need 61 votes to presumably beat a,

00:11:16.720 what do you call it, the, what's it called when the other side just talks forever?

00:11:25.840 What's that called?

00:11:28.260 I always forget the name of that.

00:11:31.100 I've been stuck on this one before.

00:11:33.000 It's called a, you'll tell me in the comments in a second, filibuster.

00:11:40.180 Yes, a filibuster.

00:11:42.180 So the biggest part of the budget is not even part of the Big Beautiful budget.

00:11:47.640 This is just the little stuff that we can change.

00:11:52.780 And the big stuff probably won't be able to change it at all,

00:11:57.420 because we won't be able to overcome the filibuster, I'm thinking.

00:12:03.000 And then there's a question about, are we cutting Medicaid or not cutting Medicaid?

00:12:08.860 So Speaker Johnson has settled on this weird messaging

00:12:13.580 where we're totally cutting Medicaid, but we're not cutting Medicaid.

00:12:21.060 So he's literally saying both things at the same time and selling it.

00:12:26.580 So he says, quote, we are not cutting Medicaid in this package, Johnson said Sunday,

00:12:33.580 on the State of the Union.

00:12:35.440 There's a lot of misinformation out there about this.

00:12:38.780 All right, so that's pretty clear, right?

00:12:41.480 You can't be more clear than that.

00:12:43.380 We are not cutting Medicaid in this package.

00:12:45.800 And then later he says that the goal is to protect Medicaid for vulnerable Americans.

00:12:55.560 I'm like, oh, okay.

00:12:57.240 That's consistent with not cutting it.

00:13:00.840 By removing those who should not be receiving the benefits,

00:13:04.680 such as illegal immigrants and able-bodied adults who are not working.

00:13:09.220 So he's not cutting Medicaid, and the way that he's going to do that

00:13:17.780 is by cutting all these people who are getting Medicaid and taking them off.

00:13:23.140 He's totally cutting Medicaid.

00:13:26.120 He's just cutting it for a certain two classes of people.

00:13:30.240 Illegal immigrants, most of you would agree with that. 1.00

00:13:34.200 But able-bodied adults, mostly men.

00:13:39.400 So apparently, and then the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that nearly 200,000 people

00:13:47.000 in Louisiana alone, that's Mike Johnson's own state, could lose Medicaid coverage

00:13:53.080 because of the cuts there.

00:13:56.580 So 200,000 people just in Louisiana alone will lose their coverage.

00:14:05.240 And then Mike Johnson says, oh, we're totally not going to cut Medicaid.

00:14:09.420 No, I'm not disagreeing with anything they're doing.

00:14:12.560 I'm just talking about the messaging, that they're getting away with saying they're not cutting it.

00:14:18.080 At the same time, they're massively cutting it.

00:14:20.780 But they're massively cutting it from able-bodied men who should get jobs

00:14:27.480 and not be receiving it.

00:14:31.280 And Johnson says the focus is on fraud, waste, and abuse.

00:14:36.660 And specifically, these young, able-bodied workers who are taking advantage of the system.

00:14:42.640 We don't want that.

00:14:44.040 No taking advantage of the system.

00:14:45.720 Now, also, I only learned this today.

00:14:51.020 Apparently, Mike Johnson says they tucked into this big, beautiful bill,

00:14:57.000 he told Face the Nationals, a provision that would restrict federal courts' ability

00:15:04.880 to enforce some injunctions.

00:15:07.720 So you know how every time Trump orders something,

00:15:11.240 there's always some federal judge who says, not so fast.

00:15:15.720 Here's an injunction.

00:15:16.960 I will prevent you from doing it.

00:15:19.240 And then I ask to go to the Supreme Court, and Trump usually wins.

00:15:23.600 So apparently, they stuck that into the bill.

00:15:27.660 And it's meant to restrict activist judges. 0.95

00:15:33.180 We'll see.

00:15:34.020 As long as the Senate doesn't try to take it out, I guess.

00:15:41.100 So here's a thing that I'm going to agree with Trump on quite a bit.

00:15:46.880 So I think there's something like 31% of Harvard's students were foreign students.

00:15:53.740 Now, on one hand, you might say to yourself, there are plenty of good reasons why a foreign student 1.00

00:16:03.360 should be allowed to go to Harvard.

00:16:05.900 But Harvard was not allowing white men and Asian Americans to get into Harvard.

00:16:14.860 And the slots were being filled up by people from other countries.

00:16:21.740 Now, the problem is that if you get a degree from Harvard, and maybe this is changing quickly,

00:16:27.760 but if you have a degree from Harvard, isn't that like an amazing thing for the rest of your life?

00:16:36.280 Why were we giving 30% of them to people from foreign countries?

00:16:43.360 When there were people who were absolutely qualified, you know, the Asian Americans who were being turned down for Harvard,

00:16:51.520 totally qualified, probably lots of white guys too, and they just couldn't get in because of their ethnicity.

00:16:59.380 But they're letting the foreign workers, 30% of their students.

00:17:10.340 Amazing.

00:17:11.760 Amazing.

00:17:12.760 So I'm with Trump.

00:17:14.080 Send him all home.

00:17:17.200 We should have never been in this situation.

00:17:20.420 So I'm glad he's fixing that.

00:17:22.760 And you wouldn't be surprised that just the news is reporting that a judge has halted Trump's order to get rid of the foreign students.

00:17:42.560 And that's why Speaker Johnson is trying to stick into the Big Beautiful Bill something to prevent these judges from doing exactly this.

00:17:55.600 Exactly this.

00:17:57.120 So I don't think this will stand.

00:17:59.780 I would imagine that Supreme Court would say you can't do that.

00:18:06.400 Or possibly the Big Beautiful Bill will pass.

00:18:10.040 And then it would be legal for Trump to say, we're going to ignore you, U.S. District Court judge.

00:18:19.480 So we'll see how that goes.

00:18:23.480 Newsmax is reporting that one of the big problems with student loans is that there are so many people who are behind on their student loans,

00:18:33.320 it's causing their credit scores to plunge.

00:18:38.500 And the credit scores are plunging so much that if you wanted to do something like rent an apartment, you couldn't do it.

00:18:50.580 Now, you're probably not able to buy a house, you know, even if you had the cash.

00:18:56.180 Well, I mean, you wouldn't have the cash because you're close to being a student.

00:19:00.780 So if you can't buy a house and you can't rent one, what's going to happen to you?

00:19:08.920 Are you going to have to hope that your parents take you in?

00:19:28.120 You're richer than you think.

00:19:30.780 Somebody's calling it a grift that I had cancer.

00:19:38.420 Some of the worst people in the world woke up early to watch my show.

00:19:44.120 How many of you think that my cancer is a grift and I just made it up?

00:19:51.880 There are some terrible people in the world. 0.73

00:19:55.160 Terrible people.

00:19:55.940 Anyway, so I know somebody who once got on the list of squatters.

00:20:06.360 Now, it was a special case situation with her boyfriend and they were breaking up and he tried to get her out of the house.

00:20:14.960 But she squatted.

00:20:16.800 And she squatted very successfully for a very long time.

00:20:20.220 But once you squatted, you can never rent a place again.

00:20:26.580 Because literally nobody in the world is going to rent a place to you if you've ever even squatted once.

00:20:33.160 So we've got this big problem of people who made genuine mistakes.

00:20:40.080 You know, that was a genuine mistake.

00:20:41.840 But there's no way to recover.

00:20:46.180 I feel like there's something that needs to be adjusted or fixed or, you know, there needs to be a special place you can go or something.

00:20:56.440 But there's going to be a ton of young people who could never find a place on their own.

00:21:02.320 And they're never going to have kids or never getting married just because their credit score is low.

00:21:09.520 And in some cases, the story is that they didn't know that they'd missed a payment.

00:21:15.000 You know, they didn't get the mail and stuff like that.

00:21:17.260 But your life could be just absolutely savaged by your student loan.

00:21:25.900 Well, according to that original sin book, that's that Jake Tapper book and Alex Thompson, when we're learning more every day.

00:21:36.380 So apparently, the people who are really running the country when Biden was in office was a group that called themselves the Politburo.

00:21:48.680 Now, Politburo is sort of a reference to communism where there's a group of people in charge.

00:21:55.900 But here are the names of the people that, according to the book, were actually in charge.

00:22:03.040 So if you want to know who is running the country, well, we've got some pretty extensive reporting on that.

00:22:12.480 And I've said this before, but the scariest part about this is that we've never heard of most of these people, at least half of them.

00:22:20.900 So these are the people who were running the country when Biden was in office.

00:22:27.940 Mike Donilon, Steve Reschetti, Bruce Reed, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, and sometimes Ron Klain,

00:22:40.480 sometimes Annie Tomasino, and sometimes Anthony Bernal.

00:22:46.620 So that was the Politburo.

00:22:49.820 So it was exactly what you thought it was.

00:22:54.380 You know how you thought to yourself,

00:22:56.400 I feel like there's some group of people who have just taken charge of my government,

00:23:01.400 and I don't even know their names or who they are.

00:23:03.760 That's what was happening.

00:23:06.680 That's exactly what was happening.

00:23:08.840 There was a small group of people you'd never heard of, half of them,

00:23:13.220 and they were running the country.

00:23:17.380 Now, the book also says that, you know,

00:23:22.660 Biden himself was usually involved in decisions,

00:23:27.900 but I feel like this group might have been a little bit more involved.

00:23:37.880 The troll of the all-capital letters. 0.91

00:23:41.960 Let's get rid of that troll with the all-capital letters. 0.56

00:23:47.200 Well, Alan Dershowitz had a suggestion

00:23:50.520 that makes me feel good because it was the same thing I would have said.

00:23:55.920 So whenever I agree with Alan Dershowitz, I think,

00:23:59.900 oh, look at me, look at me.

00:24:02.300 I didn't even have to be a lawyer, and I got that one right.

00:24:06.400 And he points out that if you want to use that Alien Enemies Act

00:24:11.360 to get rid of, you know, the worst of the immigrants, 1.00

00:24:16.960 the illegal ones, the gang members, et cetera,

00:24:21.100 and that's been kind of blocked because they need due process.

00:24:25.920 He says this, you just have to give them due process.

00:24:31.200 But it's up to you to decide what the due process is

00:24:35.260 because it's not defined.

00:24:37.700 Now, due process for a citizen is pretty well defined.

00:24:41.300 It's in the Constitution.

00:24:43.380 But the courts just say there has to be due process

00:24:46.640 for the non-citizens.

00:24:49.260 So all you have to do is make up a process,

00:24:52.800 and you just say this is our official process,

00:24:55.960 and now I'm giving it to you.

00:24:58.760 And that process could be as simple as you have 72 hours

00:25:04.400 to mount a defense.

00:25:06.400 And that's it.

00:25:10.620 That's it.

00:25:11.700 You just make sure that they all have 72 hours

00:25:14.660 and maybe the ability to place phone calls or whatever,

00:25:18.560 and then you can ship them back.

00:25:21.240 And I thought to myself, before Alan Dershowitz said it,

00:25:25.840 I thought, why don't we just make up a process

00:25:28.400 and just make the process friendlier to the country

00:25:34.040 than it is to the people that we want to deport.

00:25:38.500 And Dershowitz just says, that's all you got to do.

00:25:42.340 Just make up a process because that's the due process

00:25:45.720 if you say it is because it's not defined.

00:25:50.260 So we're on the same page there, Dershowitz.

00:25:52.760 According to the Post-Millennial,

00:25:58.180 about 25% of corporate sponsors have scaled back

00:26:03.260 whatever they were going to do for the Pride Parade.

00:26:06.660 So I guess that's coming up in June.

00:26:09.780 And according to the New York Times,

00:26:12.180 people are pulling back.

00:26:14.400 They're afraid of overdoing it and getting in trouble.

00:26:19.100 So 25% scaled back.

00:26:24.620 And I always thought to myself,

00:26:26.700 then I saw some reference to the fact

00:26:30.100 that the gay pride parade people,

00:26:34.960 they had less money.

00:26:37.900 And I thought to myself,

00:26:39.440 how much money do you need for a gay pride parade? 0.88

00:26:43.700 Couldn't you just wear your street clothes 0.94

00:26:45.680 and walk down the street?

00:26:47.120 Do you have to dress in a wildly provocative way?

00:26:57.040 Like, why does that give you more pride?

00:27:00.780 Couldn't you just walk down the street whistling

00:27:02.980 and everybody would say,

00:27:05.260 all right, good job.

00:27:08.080 The gay community has done an amazing job

00:27:11.220 in becoming part of normal,

00:27:15.800 you know, the rest of civilization

00:27:17.980 exactly like they wanted to

00:27:20.380 and take the win.

00:27:23.400 I always say this.

00:27:25.440 The LGBT,

00:27:28.100 not so much the T,

00:27:30.660 but the lesbians and gays 0.99

00:27:32.800 have done such a good job

00:27:35.160 in improving their brand

00:27:39.680 in the United States.

00:27:41.920 And I always say stuff like,

00:27:44.960 have you ever gone to a neighborhood

00:27:46.940 and said to yourself,

00:27:48.480 oh, it's a dangerous neighborhood. 0.99

00:27:50.540 It's a gay neighborhood. 0.98

00:27:52.780 Nope.

00:27:55.080 It's one of the most successful subgroups

00:27:57.940 in the entire United States.

00:28:00.080 Take the win.

00:28:01.540 You have your parade,

00:28:02.820 but does it really have to spend a lot of money?

00:28:06.960 I don't know.

00:28:08.520 I think just enjoy the win.

00:28:14.280 According to Bloomberg,

00:28:16.360 the profits from solar power companies

00:28:20.780 have plunged.

00:28:21.820 And the reason is,

00:28:23.480 it's too sunny.

00:28:25.480 Now, I don't know how this makes sense.

00:28:27.880 But part of the story is

00:28:29.220 that they had immense amount

00:28:31.800 of captured sunlight,

00:28:34.000 but they couldn't store it

00:28:36.480 because they don't have enough batteries.

00:28:38.860 So they captured amazing amounts of sun

00:28:41.520 just like they wanted to.

00:28:43.320 And then they had to let it all go.

00:28:46.660 So they had very little battery storage.

00:28:49.980 And I'm thinking to myself,

00:28:51.820 is this another thing

00:28:54.620 that Elon Musk needs to fix?

00:28:57.360 I think Elon Musk can fix this.

00:29:00.180 He's got batteries.

00:29:02.400 So Europe, France, and Spain.

00:29:07.360 It's mostly France and Spain.

00:29:10.360 So they didn't build their solar plant too wisely.

00:29:15.960 How many of you saw the video

00:29:19.380 of President Macron of France

00:29:23.300 being pushed in the face by his wife? 0.57

00:29:28.060 So Macron and his wife are in Vietnam.

00:29:30.920 It's part of an international trip they're making.

00:29:34.340 And I don't know what's going on,

00:29:38.080 but you see Macron standing still inside the airplane,

00:29:41.880 but he's getting ready to go down the stairs.

00:29:45.300 So the cameras are rolling and everything.

00:29:48.340 And suddenly you see his wife's hand

00:29:50.760 push him in the face.

00:29:53.240 Like her hand goes over his mouth 0.82

00:29:57.040 and just sort of pushes his head.

00:29:59.900 And then he realizes that it's on camera

00:30:02.600 and everybody's watching.

00:30:04.240 And he's got to play it off like,

00:30:06.580 oh, that didn't happen.

00:30:08.140 I think at first he tried to say it was AI.

00:30:11.920 Deepfake.

00:30:13.140 Nobody bought that, of course.

00:30:14.480 And then it turned into,

00:30:16.600 oh, it's just my wife being playful. 1.00

00:30:20.280 But allegedly,

00:30:22.440 when they were walking down the steps

00:30:24.360 a moment later,

00:30:26.240 he held down his arm

00:30:27.940 so that she could hold his arm

00:30:30.660 when they went down the stairs.

00:30:32.220 And she did not hold his arm.

00:30:34.940 So it kind of looks like

00:30:36.640 Mrs. Macron

00:30:38.960 is not too happy with her husband.

00:30:41.860 So let me give you some advice.

00:30:46.020 If you're ever married

00:30:47.940 to the president of a country,

00:30:51.660 don't assault him on camera

00:30:54.240 in front of the world.

00:30:56.120 It's just not a good look.

00:30:58.560 And none of it was important.

00:31:00.060 It looked like, you know,

00:31:01.160 maybe they were just having

00:31:02.120 some argument about something.

00:31:03.980 You know, it wasn't going to hurt him.

00:31:06.060 It was just sort of a dismissive push away.

00:31:08.740 But you have to see the video yourself

00:31:15.280 and you can decide for yourself.

00:31:16.960 Ontario, the wait is over.

00:31:59.440 Why settle for less

00:32:00.420 when you can go for the gold

00:32:01.920 at Golden Nugget Online Casino?

00:32:04.380 Well, there's a story

00:32:19.400 that several days ago,

00:32:22.300 Putin was in a helicopter

00:32:24.340 looking at some of the front line

00:32:27.480 in the war,

00:32:29.340 and he was visiting Kursk.

00:32:31.040 And allegedly,

00:32:34.240 there was an organized drone attack

00:32:38.880 against this helicopter

00:32:40.100 trying to assassinate him, basically.

00:32:42.600 And it was Ukrainian drones.

00:32:45.140 And then allegedly,

00:32:47.000 the Russian defenses

00:32:48.700 defeated all the drones

00:32:50.160 and none of them

00:32:51.180 hit the helicopter.

00:32:52.700 Now, I saw a story that said

00:32:54.340 maybe this isn't true.

00:32:55.620 But it would make sense

00:33:00.500 in the,

00:33:03.780 if you looked at

00:33:04.580 what Russia is doing right now,

00:33:06.740 which is they're doing

00:33:08.000 massive attacks on Kiev.

00:33:10.560 So it could be

00:33:11.900 that because of the

00:33:14.020 attempted assassination,

00:33:16.440 Putin's just going really hard.

00:33:18.500 And Trump's kind of mad at him.

00:33:21.240 Trump said,

00:33:21.860 I've always had

00:33:23.360 a very good relationship

00:33:24.620 with Vladimir Putin of Russia.

00:33:27.600 But something has happened to him. 0.93

00:33:29.180 He has gone absolute crazy.

00:33:31.740 He's talking about the severity

00:33:33.680 with which Putin

00:33:34.660 is attacking Ukraine 0.96

00:33:35.980 at the same time

00:33:37.560 that Trump's trying

00:33:38.820 to get him to talk peace.

00:33:40.760 But that would make sense

00:33:42.520 if Putin had survived

00:33:46.300 an assassination attempt.

00:33:47.800 So then you could

00:33:50.460 kind of understand.

00:33:51.640 You might be going

00:33:52.280 a little nuts.

00:33:55.720 So Israel has announced,

00:33:59.180 they waited for a holiday

00:34:01.380 to announce this,

00:34:02.700 holiday in the United States,

00:34:05.900 that according to

00:34:07.600 the Wall Street Journal,

00:34:09.380 that the Israeli military

00:34:10.680 on Sunday said

00:34:11.600 that it plans to capture

00:34:12.720 75% of the Gaza Strip

00:34:15.140 within two months

00:34:16.220 and push Palestinian civilians 0.98

00:34:19.300 into just a quarter

00:34:21.300 of the Strip's territory

00:34:22.640 as part of their effort

00:34:25.300 to get rid of Hamas.

00:34:27.760 Now,

00:34:29.400 here's the weird part.

00:34:33.540 The part that they want

00:34:36.340 to push the civilians into,

00:34:39.400 so presumably that allows them

00:34:41.220 to really get tough

00:34:44.020 on Hamas and their tunnels

00:34:45.360 and finish them off,

00:34:47.420 America is apparently 0.55

00:34:50.180 the aid source.

00:34:53.740 So to feed the Gazans

00:34:55.520 who are being pushed

00:34:56.400 into a quarter of the territory,

00:34:59.680 apparently that's your taxes

00:35:02.100 and mine.

00:35:03.520 To which I say,

00:35:05.400 what?

00:35:07.160 Well,

00:35:07.520 why is America paying

00:35:08.700 to feed the Gazans?

00:35:11.820 I mean,

00:35:12.160 I'd rather that they don't starve,

00:35:14.200 of course,

00:35:15.400 but are you saying

00:35:16.000 that Israel can't afford

00:35:17.240 to do it?

00:35:19.440 Is there some reason

00:35:20.600 that Israel's war

00:35:22.380 requires the United States

00:35:24.600 to feed the people

00:35:27.260 on the other side

00:35:27.980 of the war?

00:35:29.740 What's up with that?

00:35:31.880 So,

00:35:32.920 that part doesn't make sense.

00:35:35.260 Yeah,

00:35:35.440 I don't know why

00:35:35.840 we're doing that.

00:35:36.600 but you might remember

00:35:39.640 that I've

00:35:40.600 long suggested

00:35:43.220 what I call

00:35:43.900 the filter fence

00:35:45.160 where you

00:35:46.880 move the people

00:35:48.520 into a safe zone

00:35:50.140 that can be determined

00:35:51.840 that they're not combatants

00:35:53.160 and then you go wild

00:35:54.680 on whatever's left

00:35:56.200 and it looks like

00:35:57.580 they're doing

00:35:58.480 the filter fence

00:35:59.660 strategy.

00:36:02.000 Now,

00:36:04.200 when I talk

00:36:04.640 about Israel,

00:36:05.460 if you're new to me,

00:36:07.120 I'm not endorsing

00:36:09.000 anything they do.

00:36:10.860 So,

00:36:11.320 I'm not

00:36:11.700 pro

00:36:12.580 or anti

00:36:14.640 anything they do.

00:36:15.660 I just

00:36:16.180 observe

00:36:16.860 and report.

00:36:19.980 So,

00:36:21.200 my view

00:36:22.460 is that

00:36:22.920 whoever has

00:36:23.540 power over there,

00:36:25.260 they're going

00:36:25.640 to be accused

00:36:26.380 of genocide

00:36:27.480 by the other side.

00:36:29.500 Now,

00:36:29.820 is that

00:36:30.340 good or bad?

00:36:32.280 It's not up to me.

00:36:34.360 So,

00:36:35.240 it's not up to me

00:36:36.300 to decide

00:36:36.880 what is

00:36:37.440 moral

00:36:38.500 or ethical

00:36:39.080 or

00:36:39.640 good or bad.

00:36:41.800 I believe

00:36:42.660 that

00:36:43.040 the children

00:36:44.140 are going to be

00:36:44.960 the victims

00:36:45.520 no matter

00:36:46.020 who had the power

00:36:46.880 and who was doing

00:36:47.660 what to whom.

00:36:48.800 There will be

00:36:49.280 children dying.

00:36:51.160 And nobody likes that.

00:36:52.780 So,

00:36:53.120 you could be

00:36:53.580 against children dying

00:36:54.900 but if you don't

00:36:56.180 have some kind

00:36:56.880 of larger

00:36:57.440 solution

00:36:58.780 with all your

00:36:59.920 brilliance

00:37:00.460 to make it stop,

00:37:02.000 and I don't.

00:37:03.280 I don't have

00:37:03.860 any way

00:37:04.160 to make it stop.

00:37:07.320 You could just

00:37:08.260 observe.

00:37:10.080 So,

00:37:10.700 I observe

00:37:11.240 that they're

00:37:12.660 doing

00:37:13.140 what makes

00:37:15.300 sense for Israel

00:37:16.120 and that's

00:37:17.680 as far as I'll go.

00:37:19.620 But,

00:37:20.200 you can't really

00:37:21.140 be in favor

00:37:21.800 of it.

00:37:22.960 You can just

00:37:23.780 watch it

00:37:24.320 and say,

00:37:24.940 well,

00:37:26.200 it makes

00:37:27.160 sense for

00:37:27.580 them.

00:37:30.060 All right.

00:37:32.180 You know

00:37:32.880 the story

00:37:33.340 of South

00:37:33.840 Africa

00:37:34.240 and whether

00:37:35.780 or not

00:37:36.140 there's a

00:37:36.640 white genocide 0.84

00:37:37.360 going on

00:37:38.380 over there?

00:37:39.860 And

00:37:40.420 some of the

00:37:41.800 evidence of

00:37:42.400 the white

00:37:42.760 genocide

00:37:43.180 appear to be

00:37:44.300 fake.

00:37:45.360 But there's

00:37:46.180 plenty that

00:37:46.840 doesn't appear

00:37:47.500 to be fake.

00:37:48.060 and Laura

00:37:49.180 Logan,

00:37:51.620 I was seeing

00:37:52.280 the Vigilant Fox

00:37:53.400 report on this,

00:37:55.320 she says,

00:37:56.660 oh,

00:37:56.800 there's definitely 0.53

00:37:57.380 a white genocide 0.89

00:37:58.260 in South Africa.

00:37:59.420 I didn't realize

00:38:00.040 that she came

00:38:00.600 from South Africa,

00:38:01.780 so she has a

00:38:02.480 little more

00:38:02.800 connection to it

00:38:03.780 than the rest

00:38:04.740 of us.

00:38:05.040 But here's

00:38:08.560 my question.

00:38:10.320 I do believe

00:38:11.640 that there

00:38:12.960 would be

00:38:13.320 plenty of

00:38:13.940 examples of

00:38:14.900 white farmers

00:38:15.820 being tortured 0.97

00:38:18.420 and having

00:38:20.100 stuff stolen

00:38:20.740 from them.

00:38:22.260 But if it's

00:38:23.300 also true

00:38:24.000 that everybody

00:38:24.880 is being,

00:38:26.660 that the

00:38:27.460 crime in

00:38:28.320 general is

00:38:29.700 just so bad

00:38:30.480 that the 1.00

00:38:31.100 black citizens 0.98

00:38:32.700 are getting 0.52

00:38:33.340 just as much

00:38:34.080 crime,

00:38:35.040 in other words,

00:38:36.580 everybody's a

00:38:37.460 victim of crime

00:38:38.220 if you live

00:38:38.800 there,

00:38:39.100 it doesn't

00:38:39.340 matter if

00:38:39.680 you're white 0.98

00:38:39.980 or black,

00:38:40.980 it does kind

00:38:42.640 of blur

00:38:43.100 that whole

00:38:43.960 white genocide

00:38:45.540 area.

00:38:47.880 Like,

00:38:48.200 if all you

00:38:49.300 have to do

00:38:49.800 to get to

00:38:50.760 be a victim

00:38:51.340 of crime

00:38:52.040 in South

00:38:52.540 Africa is

00:38:53.280 show up,

00:38:54.900 and it doesn't

00:38:55.820 matter what

00:38:56.220 color you are,

00:38:57.160 if you've

00:38:57.980 got money,

00:38:58.600 somebody's going

00:38:59.080 to want to

00:38:59.400 take it from

00:38:59.920 you,

00:39:00.480 I don't know

00:39:02.180 what to call

00:39:02.640 that.

00:39:04.000 I mean,

00:39:04.360 I guess

00:39:05.040 it's white 0.95

00:39:05.500 genocide, 0.69

00:39:06.620 I guess it

00:39:07.760 is,

00:39:08.500 but wouldn't

00:39:09.580 there be a 0.98

00:39:10.200 black genocide 0.98

00:39:10.940 happening at 0.81

00:39:11.720 the same

00:39:12.060 time,

00:39:12.700 or it doesn't

00:39:13.800 account if

00:39:14.760 the people

00:39:15.240 who are doing

00:39:15.900 it,

00:39:16.820 the crime,

00:39:17.960 are also 0.85

00:39:18.820 black?

00:39:20.040 So you have 0.82

00:39:20.900 a different

00:39:21.200 word for it

00:39:21.900 or something?

00:39:23.260 Well,

00:39:23.880 I would say,

00:39:24.560 generally speaking,

00:39:25.740 stay away from

00:39:26.500 massive crime,

00:39:28.500 if you can.

00:39:29.740 here's a

00:39:32.620 story in

00:39:33.020 the Daily

00:39:33.400 Mail,

00:39:34.280 I think it

00:39:35.180 was in

00:39:35.620 India,

00:39:37.840 the story

00:39:38.740 was a little

00:39:39.340 unclear on

00:39:40.180 that,

00:39:40.460 but I think

00:39:40.760 it was

00:39:40.940 India.

00:39:42.060 They

00:39:42.320 convicted

00:39:43.920 somebody

00:39:44.640 for poisoning

00:39:46.820 her fiancé

00:39:47.580 by putting

00:39:49.120 sensors on

00:39:50.980 her head

00:39:51.540 and essentially

00:39:53.140 doing some

00:39:54.320 version of

00:39:55.020 a lie

00:39:56.880 detector,

00:39:57.400 but a

00:39:59.160 more high

00:39:59.860 tech one.

00:40:00.700 So they

00:40:01.100 placed a

00:40:01.880 cap with

00:40:02.420 electrodes

00:40:02.920 on her

00:40:03.240 head and

00:40:04.520 they played

00:40:05.200 specific

00:40:05.980 phrases about

00:40:07.240 the crime

00:40:07.860 and then

00:40:09.140 they said,

00:40:09.960 we can tell

00:40:11.080 by looking

00:40:11.640 at our

00:40:12.580 readout

00:40:13.120 that you're

00:40:14.640 guilty.

00:40:16.620 Now,

00:40:17.600 apparently

00:40:18.160 it works

00:40:19.440 90% of

00:40:20.240 the time,

00:40:21.300 but that

00:40:23.120 would not

00:40:23.560 be nearly

00:40:24.080 enough.

00:40:25.380 I do

00:40:25.860 think,

00:40:26.440 however,

00:40:27.400 we're

00:40:27.840 reaching a

00:40:28.400 point where

00:40:29.060 the lie

00:40:30.180 detector or

00:40:31.020 the ability

00:40:31.540 to read

00:40:32.020 your brain

00:40:32.460 basically is

00:40:33.680 going to be

00:40:34.040 so good

00:40:34.700 that your

00:40:36.360 entire trial

00:40:37.240 might be

00:40:37.720 just putting

00:40:38.280 on a cap

00:40:39.060 and turning

00:40:40.080 it on and

00:40:40.600 asking you

00:40:41.120 some questions.

00:40:42.500 Now,

00:40:42.940 we're not

00:40:43.180 there.

00:40:44.020 90% is not

00:40:45.440 nearly good

00:40:46.000 enough.

00:40:47.060 You need

00:40:47.560 something like

00:40:48.240 100%.

00:40:49.140 I think we

00:40:51.420 might get

00:40:51.860 to 100%.

00:40:52.740 I think

00:40:54.500 the technology

00:40:55.300 for telling

00:40:55.880 you if

00:40:56.140 you're

00:40:56.320 lying

00:40:56.760 could get

00:40:58.640 to 100%.

00:40:59.620 I think

00:41:00.820 it might.

00:41:03.160 Meanwhile,

00:41:03.960 there's some

00:41:04.400 kind of

00:41:04.800 super bug,

00:41:06.680 according to

00:41:07.180 a neoscope,

00:41:08.860 that it's a

00:41:09.800 nasty bacteria

00:41:10.840 that eats

00:41:12.600 hospital plastic.

00:41:14.200 plastic.

00:41:16.220 So,

00:41:16.900 you know,

00:41:17.500 a lot of

00:41:17.940 medical stuff

00:41:19.060 and hospital

00:41:19.620 stuff is made

00:41:20.360 of plastic.

00:41:21.860 Well,

00:41:22.200 this bacteria

00:41:24.100 that starts

00:41:25.880 with people

00:41:26.560 and then I

00:41:27.340 guess it

00:41:27.720 can get

00:41:28.120 into the

00:41:28.500 environment

00:41:28.960 will also

00:41:30.620 eat the

00:41:31.820 plastic.

00:41:33.600 And it

00:41:34.060 digests

00:41:34.600 medical plastic.

00:41:36.740 It makes

00:41:37.160 me wonder

00:41:37.620 if there's,

00:41:38.400 it's also

00:41:39.000 deadly,

00:41:39.620 so you don't

00:41:40.000 want it in

00:41:40.400 your body.

00:41:41.620 But it

00:41:41.960 makes me

00:41:42.580 wonder if

00:41:42.980 they can

00:41:43.320 modify that

00:41:44.120 thing.

00:41:44.920 So,

00:41:45.600 it eats

00:41:45.960 the plastic

00:41:46.620 that's in

00:41:47.080 my body,

00:41:48.260 the microplastics

00:41:49.200 that's

00:41:49.800 apparently in 1.00

00:41:50.680 my balls. 0.99

00:41:53.580 I don't 0.99

00:41:54.300 know.

00:41:55.040 Maybe.

00:41:55.940 I feel

00:41:56.760 like the

00:41:57.120 whole too

00:41:57.740 much plastic

00:41:58.580 and microplastics,

00:42:00.300 there's going

00:42:01.080 to be some

00:42:01.480 kind of

00:42:01.860 technological

00:42:02.540 fix where

00:42:03.920 they take

00:42:04.360 one of

00:42:04.660 these nasty

00:42:06.000 bacteria and

00:42:07.080 do a little

00:42:08.280 crisper stuff

00:42:09.560 on it and

00:42:10.220 tweak it a

00:42:10.840 little bit.

00:42:11.600 So,

00:42:12.160 it's not

00:42:12.460 dangerous for

00:42:13.120 people,

00:42:13.480 but it

00:42:13.840 still likes

00:42:14.320 to eat

00:42:14.560 plastic.

00:42:15.980 And then

00:42:16.340 you take

00:42:17.420 a pill

00:42:17.960 every morning

00:42:18.580 with some

00:42:19.720 of those

00:42:20.000 bacteria in

00:42:20.720 there and

00:42:21.000 it's like,

00:42:21.320 it just

00:42:22.680 eats all

00:42:23.060 the plastic

00:42:23.540 in your

00:42:23.920 body and

00:42:24.340 then it 0.94

00:42:24.620 dies because 0.53

00:42:25.360 it doesn't

00:42:25.940 have any

00:42:26.240 more food.

00:42:26.740 all right.

00:42:32.400 That's all

00:42:33.100 I got

00:42:33.500 today because

00:42:35.020 it's Memorial

00:42:35.740 Day and

00:42:36.320 there's not

00:42:37.640 much happening.

00:42:39.240 But glad I

00:42:40.320 could spend

00:42:40.720 this time

00:42:41.300 with you.

00:42:42.440 I'm going

00:42:42.700 to say some

00:42:43.420 private stuff

00:42:45.500 to the people

00:42:46.160 on Locals.

00:42:46.980 it'll

00:42:52.020 mutate

00:42:52.540 and eat 1.00

00:42:52.800 people.

00:42:55.740 Oh,

00:42:56.060 well.

00:42:58.000 Use the

00:42:58.520 nanobots in

00:42:59.620 the COVID

00:43:00.280 shop to

00:43:00.960 destroy the

00:43:01.600 microplastics.

00:43:02.700 All right.

00:43:07.680 All right,

00:43:08.380 ladies and 0.98

00:43:08.840 gentlemen,

00:43:09.340 thanks for

00:43:13.600 respect on

00:43:14.280 Memorial Day

00:43:15.080 and I'm

00:43:17.380 going to

00:43:18.140 local

00:43:18.580 subscribers

00:43:19.360 privately.

00:43:20.500 The rest

00:43:21.020 of you,
