Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2852 CWSA 05⧸27⧸25

00:00:00.000 Stocks, holy cow, stocks are up.

00:00:06.420 Look at that.

00:00:08.240 Wow.

00:00:09.540 All right, so that's some good news.

00:00:11.940 Let's open our comments and get you the show that you deserve.

00:00:17.120 Damn it, you deserve it.

00:00:22.400 Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom.

00:00:25.720 Bom, bom, bom, bom.

00:00:28.260 Do, do, do, do, do, do.

00:00:30.000 Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

00:00:36.640 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:41.380 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:00:45.940 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand

00:00:51.340 with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:58.980 a tank or a chelsea, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:04.260 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:06.200 I like coffee.

00:01:07.800 And join me now for the best part of your day, the simultaneous sip, and it's happening now.

00:01:17.860 Oh, go.

00:01:24.340 Oh, so good.

00:01:27.780 All right.

00:01:28.240 Well, let's see if there's any science about coffee.

00:01:32.220 Oh, yes, there is.

00:01:33.960 Some new research, according to SciPost and Eric Nolan, shows that decaf coffee can, it can, not always,

00:01:45.960 but it can mimic caffeine's effect in habitual drinkers.

00:01:50.920 In other words, if you have decaf, your body might register it a lot like caffeinated coffee.

00:02:01.600 Now, do you know who knew that before the science?

00:02:05.880 Pavlov.

00:02:06.600 Pavlov, that's basically Pavlov's dog, right?

00:02:11.520 So Pavlov, I was training his dog, dogs, and I give them a treat after he rang the bell,

00:02:20.440 and then eventually he could just ring the bell and they would salivate.

00:02:24.960 Well, that's what this is.

00:02:26.220 That's what decaf is.

00:02:28.140 Decaf is just ringing the bell without the actual caffeine as the payoff.

00:02:38.140 I'm pretty sure any hypnotist would have known that not every time and not for every person,

00:02:45.200 that it's not going to fix your caffeine headache if you haven't had real caffeine.

00:02:51.900 But then every once in a while you can have decaf and it gives you the same little kick as if you had the real thing.

00:03:00.240 And even if you know, it doesn't make any difference if you know that you're getting decaf.

00:03:05.720 I have used this trick on myself many times where I would give myself decaf because I had too much caffeinated stuff that day.

00:03:16.640 And sure enough, I would feel as though I was getting a little boost.

00:03:20.520 So there's a little trick for you.

00:03:23.840 According to the Washington Times, Trump is no longer interested, or at least he's not exhibiting interest,

00:03:32.560 in going to Fort Knox to find out if the gold is still there.

00:03:38.760 Do you remember when Elon Musk and Trump were both saying,

00:03:43.600 hmm, maybe we should check to see if that gold is still in Fort Knox?

00:03:47.420 Well, that interest seems to have waned because nobody cares about it anymore.

00:03:53.660 And the reason given is that apparently it gets audited on some kind of a regular basis,

00:04:01.380 so they do know that the gold is there.

00:04:04.420 To which I say, hmm, hmm, that's one possibility.

00:04:10.860 One possibility is that they know for sure the gold is there.

00:04:14.620 Or what's the other possibility?

00:04:18.420 That they know for sure the gold is not there.

00:04:22.580 So if you want to keep your suspicions alive, go ahead.

00:04:28.940 Keep your suspicions alive.

00:04:31.200 Although probably it's all there.

00:04:32.620 Well, over in China, they've developed a giant salmon farming ship

00:04:41.620 so that they can raise salmon inside the ship, basically like a fish farm.

00:04:49.820 And it's better than using a regular fish farm, which would be in one place,

00:04:55.720 and maybe a typhoon would get it.

00:04:58.640 Or there's some other kind of problem that can destroy your fish.

00:05:03.640 But if you put it in a big old ship, I guess you have access to all the water you need.

00:05:10.160 And you can make yourself some salmon.

00:05:15.660 So I like that idea.

00:05:18.320 Salmon farm in a ship.

00:05:21.480 Some say it's going to be crappy salmon because they would feed it substandard food.

00:05:27.920 But they don't have to.

00:05:29.380 I mean, you know, the possibility is they can feed it good food,

00:05:33.000 and then your salmon would be fine.

00:05:34.680 But we'll see if that becomes a thing.

00:05:40.260 According to the University of Cologne, which I can smell from here,

00:05:46.400 parents, this will surprise absolutely nobody,

00:05:51.540 can you believe it?

00:05:54.180 Parents are not happier but have a greater sense of meaning in life,

00:05:58.980 according to a study.

00:06:01.000 Now, how many of you didn't know that?

00:06:03.180 If you've ever seen any parent trying to get their kids to school

00:06:09.200 or get them to do their homework or get them to do anything,

00:06:12.400 they don't look like they're super happy.

00:06:16.240 But if you were to ask them,

00:06:18.000 are you glad you had kids?

00:06:20.180 Well, nearly 100% would say,

00:06:22.300 yeah, it's the best thing I've ever done.

00:06:24.000 You should do it too.

00:06:25.860 So yes, having children is not about having a bunch of laughs.

00:06:30.380 It's about a greater sense of meaning in life.

00:06:34.540 I feel like every parent already knew that.

00:06:38.980 Is there anyone who doesn't know that?

00:06:42.400 Probably the most well-known and understood phenomenon in all the world.

00:06:46.740 Well, the UAE, United Arab... 0.92

00:06:52.760 What's the E?

00:06:57.060 United Arab E.

00:07:02.020 Anyway, the UAE is giving every single resident free chat GPT,

00:07:08.740 plus the good stuff for every resident.

00:07:15.200 I saw this in Mario Knopfel post on X.

00:07:19.800 News 9 is the source.

00:07:21.900 And it's the only country doing that.

00:07:23.900 And it's part of their push to be the high-tech sort of hub of the world.

00:07:33.220 That's pretty good.

00:07:35.600 So everybody will have chat GPT in the UAE.

00:07:39.800 I wonder if any other country will follow that model.

00:07:43.960 Did you hear the story?

00:07:45.720 You may have heard the story about the open AI.

00:07:50.040 This is also chat GPT.

00:07:51.640 One of their models allegedly disobeyed the human instructions

00:07:57.800 and tried to sabotage the shutdown mechanism.

00:08:02.640 Did you see that story?

00:08:05.960 Well, it did not surprise me to find out that there's a report today

00:08:10.680 that that was not the regular chat GPT in a regular setting,

00:08:15.920 but rather they were doing safety testing.

00:08:18.320 So it was an artificial condition, safety testing.

00:08:24.880 It wasn't something that could have happened in the real world.

00:08:28.360 So probably that's not really something you need to worry about.

00:08:33.760 And I don't see how it could possibly change its own code.

00:08:37.360 Yeah, there was something about that story that sounded a little sketchy.

00:08:43.760 Yeah, Owen knew it.

00:08:45.880 Owen was all over that.

00:08:47.580 It just didn't sound true, did it?

00:08:49.780 So I was pausing on that story a little bit.

00:08:53.240 But if I mentioned it, I should not have.

00:09:00.040 Well, Kamala Harris was over in Australia giving a speech at a big event there,

00:09:05.420 and the clips from it are hilarious

00:09:09.160 because she was in full word salad Kamala Harris mode.

00:09:15.700 And honestly, I couldn't tell if she was drunk or stupid.

00:09:22.060 A lot of people said, well, probably both.

00:09:25.740 She does look drunk and stupid, but is it possible she's just stupid? 0.92

00:09:35.240 Like, really, really stupid?

00:09:38.360 Because I'm giving her the benefit of a doubt that she's drunk.

00:09:43.160 But my God, is she embarrassing.

00:09:46.820 Oh, my God.

00:09:47.940 And she could have been our president? 0.87

00:09:50.400 Every time you see her talk, you think to yourself, oh, my God.

00:09:57.660 She was within striking distance of being the president of the United States.

00:10:04.320 Wow.

00:10:05.240 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,

00:10:09.200 I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:10:13.980 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:10:16.660 Are those from Winners?

00:10:18.200 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

00:10:20.680 Did she pay full price?

00:10:22.020 Or that leather tote?

00:10:23.020 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:10:24.260 Or those knee-high boots?

00:10:25.700 That dress?

00:10:26.480 That jacket?

00:10:27.160 Those shoes?

00:10:28.180 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:10:31.120 Stop wondering.

00:10:32.400 Start winning.

00:10:33.340 Winners.

00:10:33.920 Find fabulous.

00:10:34.580 List for less.

00:10:38.240 Speaking of other losers, Mayor Karen Bass of L.A.

00:10:45.440 She posted on X that homes are under construction throughout the Palisades, ahead of expectations.

00:10:55.020 And then there was a little video from above of a house being built.

00:11:01.320 And I said to myself, huh, this is kind of strange.

00:11:06.700 If your claim was that houses, plural, are being built, don't you think that your evidence would be more than one house?

00:11:15.900 Doesn't that doesn't that strike you as odd?

00:11:19.560 If you were trying to say, yeah, a lot of houses are being built, wouldn't you show more than one?

00:11:26.340 And then I look at the comments.

00:11:28.080 Apparently, apparently, it's one house.

00:11:30.740 Apparently, it's one house.

00:11:34.380 Exactly one house.

00:11:36.180 Now, I don't know if it's one house.

00:11:37.980 But she's definitely full of shit. 1.00

00:11:40.500 But there are some things happening and there are some action and there are some things moving in the right direction.

00:11:48.860 But if you were to drive there, it might not look like anything's happening.

00:11:56.660 Anyway, she says they've taken action to cut the red tape and expedite the permits.

00:12:03.780 But she's going to get destroyed in the comments to that. 1.00

00:12:09.380 All right.

00:12:09.960 Good luck there, Mayor Karen Bass.

00:12:12.520 Did you know that, according to the Daily Wire, the Treasury officials in the U.S. are doing a good job of choking off the cash flow to the cartels?

00:12:29.020 So they're figuring out what money flowing through the U.S. is cartel money.

00:12:34.380 And they're shutting it down and sanctioning it and making sure that individuals are not getting it.

00:12:41.260 And I said to myself, wait a minute, are you telling me that we always had the ability to know what was the cartel's cash

00:12:52.620 and it took until Trump's second administration to start shutting it down?

00:13:00.560 Wait, what?

00:13:04.180 Isn't that a little bit fishy?

00:13:05.940 It does seem to me like Trump is the first person who's taken anything serious about Mexico or the border.

00:13:16.500 Just hold that in your head that the Treasury had the ability to identify the cartel's money flow and we were not messing with it.

00:13:28.580 How in the world is that even possible, that we weren't doing anything about it until now?

00:13:36.120 The only thing I can imagine is that we were complicit and something about the Trump administration has decided not to be complicit.

00:13:48.780 I don't know.

00:13:49.620 There's something to be learned by that story.

00:13:52.540 Anyway, there's a story in the New York Times that is just full of anonymous sources.

00:14:10.320 Oh, man, they got some anonymous sources.

00:14:12.460 And I saw Greta Van Susteren was mocking them for their anonymous sources. 0.94

00:14:20.460 But the story is that Trump is backing away from sanctions on Russia because he wants to do business deals with them,

00:14:29.360 meaning America wants to do business deals with them.

00:14:33.020 Now, do you think that's true?

00:14:36.160 And all they have are anonymous sources?

00:14:38.700 Anonymous sources, what have I taught you about anonymous sources?

00:14:47.620 Anonymous sources have basically no news value because they're usually made up.

00:14:58.240 So it doesn't matter if it's the New York Times, if it's full of anonymous sources.

00:15:04.060 Well, I don't know about that.

00:15:06.380 But it does seem that Germany, France, this is another related news of news.

00:15:16.540 So that I saw this on Mario Knopfel's posts.

00:15:20.860 The source is CGTN, whatever that is.

00:15:25.220 But it says that Germany, France and the UK and the US have given Ukraine the green light to fire missiles with no range cap.

00:15:34.260 In other words, go ahead, Ukraine, and just start lighting up Russia itself. 0.93

00:15:41.200 That means that Ukraine will be striking targets deep inside Russia.

00:15:52.980 Do you think that's, first of all, true?

00:15:55.760 I don't know if it's true because it's not coming from a news source I've ever heard of.

00:16:00.340 But probably it's true.

00:16:06.200 I mean, it feels, maybe it's a little too on the nose, but it feels like the only thing that Europe could come up with is,

00:16:15.280 All right, if Moscow and Russia are cranking it up and they're not talking about peace, let's just start sending missiles into the heart of Russia. 0.59

00:16:28.780 What could go wrong?

00:16:30.140 Well, a lot could go wrong, but it kind of makes sense that they might loosen up the distance cap.

00:16:40.780 So I guess we'll have to watch and see if Russia gets lit up with these new missiles and if it makes any difference at all.

00:16:49.760 Or does it make Russia just twice as aggressive? 0.67

00:16:55.500 So we're going to find out.

00:16:57.480 Now, what do you think is true?

00:17:01.040 Do you think that there are two stories about Putin right now?

00:17:06.400 One is that he felt under attack by NATO and that really he's acting in a semi-defensive way by making sure that NATO doesn't surround him

00:17:20.600 and that Ukraine had always been the red line and we crossed the red line.

00:17:27.480 So you've got to expect it.

00:17:30.260 The other version of Putin is that he plans to dominate all of Europe and this is just one more step in doing that.

00:17:40.080 Now, they can't both be true, right?

00:17:42.180 It can't be true that he's defensively attacking Ukraine, but he's also looking to roll over and control all of Europe.

00:17:54.600 Or CGTN is China's state TV, somebody says.

00:18:01.760 Is that true?

00:18:02.360 Well, that would make a difference, wouldn't it?

00:18:08.500 Yeah.

00:18:09.640 So I guess the best take about anything about Ukraine is that we can't tell what's true.

00:18:20.480 So I guess that's where I'll settle on this.

00:18:24.860 We just don't know what's true.

00:18:27.060 But we'll see if any missiles are going into the heart of Russia.

00:18:32.080 Well, Jake Tapper was on Piers Morgan and he's still talking about his new book that talks about Joe Biden's mental decline.

00:18:45.540 And apparently Jake Tapper has admitted that the Democrat cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline might be, it might be worse than Watergate.

00:18:58.020 I guess in his book he said it wasn't worse than Watergate.

00:19:01.480 But now he's willing to admit, yeah, it might be, might be worse than Watergate.

00:19:07.920 What do you think?

00:19:10.580 Is the cover-up of Biden worse than Watergate?

00:19:15.760 Yes.

00:19:17.660 Yes.

00:19:18.480 By a mile.

00:19:20.560 It's not even close.

00:19:22.640 And not only that, but the Democrats have done lots of things that are worse than Watergate.

00:19:28.120 It's not like the first thing that's worse than Watergate.

00:19:31.440 When I think of Watergate, it just seems so tame.

00:19:34.560 Like, imagine if the worst thing that was happening in the United States was Watergate.

00:19:40.760 If that were the worst thing happening, I'd be pretty darn happy.

00:19:46.120 Stocks would be up.

00:19:48.280 Everything would be good.

00:20:53.540 Here's something I want to add to the whole Biden brain cover-up.

00:21:03.360 Now, most of you are probably into the opinion that everybody in the news business

00:21:08.580 were completely aware that Biden's brain wasn't working,

00:21:13.940 but they were just pretending they didn't know.

00:21:18.060 I'm going to modify that a little bit.

00:21:21.360 I don't think that's totally true, and here's why.

00:21:26.160 Have you ever seen the psychology experiments where they'll have a bunch of,

00:21:31.740 a small group of people, and they'll be asked to look at something and say,

00:21:37.980 let's say, what line is longer than another line, or just some basic factual thing.

00:21:44.180 And only one person will be an actual subject of the experiment,

00:21:50.400 and all the rest will be participants who know that they're participants and they're lying.

00:21:56.960 And what happens is, you can somewhat easily make the person who is the real subject believe whatever the other people all believe is true.

00:22:09.780 So, it's so easy to change a person's perception until they don't see something,

00:22:19.080 or they do see something that just isn't there.

00:22:22.820 Now, this is a very repeatable experiment in psychology,

00:22:27.660 and you've probably seen it a million times in the real world.

00:22:31.720 So, here's my take.

00:22:34.840 For sure, no doubt about it, there were people in the news business,

00:22:41.800 sorry, I've got to make an adjustment there.

00:22:46.660 For sure, there were people in the news business who were aware that Biden's brain wasn't working,

00:22:53.260 and that it was a big problem.

00:22:54.860 There's no doubt about it.

00:22:56.640 I don't know if Jake Tapper was one, but maybe, you know, maybe.

00:23:01.900 But if you have enough people who are pretending that he's perfectly fine,

00:23:09.480 and there certainly were enough people pretending that,

00:23:12.720 then you can guarantee that some number of people were just sort of hypnotized into believing it was true,

00:23:21.180 because when they looked at the other people, they weren't seeing anything that's a problem.

00:23:26.660 So, my guess is that it was always a combination.

00:23:33.120 It was a combination of people who knew they were lying,

00:23:36.680 and just were trying to prevent Hitler from coming into office, you know, in their view.

00:23:43.660 Some people who just preferred the Democrats to win, you know, that would be the Democrats.

00:23:48.920 Some people who had the ability to know, but that ability was sort of shut off

00:23:58.020 by the fact they were put in an environment where it seemed like nobody else noticed.

00:24:04.400 In theory, they would be cognitively blinded to the obvious.

00:24:10.480 So, I think that, I think you have to be a little bit careful about assuming that every single person

00:24:17.940 was aware and knew it, because you could see it.

00:24:23.200 Because if you were, if you were not a, if you were not in that environment,

00:24:28.620 then you would not have been influenced by it.

00:24:31.900 You could just see it clearly, right?

00:24:33.860 If your experience was turning on my podcast every morning,

00:24:38.340 and listening to me say, since maybe 2017 or something like that,

00:24:45.040 saying, no, Biden's brain is completely broken, he's obviously incompetent.

00:24:49.700 If you were listening to me say it every day,

00:24:52.880 you would be completely immune from the cognitive blindness,

00:24:58.200 because you would have at least one person,

00:25:00.800 and probably lots more, who are telling you the truth.

00:25:04.860 So, you wouldn't have that problem.

00:25:07.200 But when you look at the Democrats,

00:25:09.060 they would definitely have that problem

00:25:10.820 of being cognitively blinded by their own team,

00:25:15.440 who were lying, basically.

00:25:19.600 Well, were there other examples where they were cognitively blinded?

00:25:24.600 Yes.

00:25:25.540 What about the fine people hoax?

00:25:27.240 Do you think every single person

00:25:30.840 on the, you know, the mainstream media,

00:25:35.580 do you think every one of them

00:25:37.020 thought that the fine people hoax was real?

00:25:40.340 No.

00:25:42.340 No.

00:25:43.360 There were undoubtedly

00:25:44.980 smart, influential people

00:25:47.640 who knew somewhat early on

00:25:49.760 that that wasn't true.

00:25:52.160 But they had an interest

00:25:54.040 in acting like it was true.

00:25:55.560 Now, again,

00:25:57.820 take an innocent Democrat

00:25:59.740 and put him in that situation

00:26:01.660 where all these important people

00:26:03.700 are pretending,

00:26:04.920 they're lying,

00:26:06.940 but they're pretending

00:26:07.800 that the fine people hoax was true.

00:26:11.740 Same problem.

00:26:13.700 They would come to believe it was true

00:26:15.460 because all these important,

00:26:17.240 influential people said it was true.

00:26:18.840 same with Elon Musk's Nazi salute,

00:26:23.220 which was, of course,

00:26:24.600 not a Nazi salute.

00:26:27.260 Do you think it was even possible

00:26:29.360 that people with normal brains

00:26:32.020 thought that was a Nazi salute?

00:26:34.900 Well,

00:26:36.100 if you have enough people

00:26:37.520 who are the credible people,

00:26:39.440 the ones you trust,

00:26:41.000 and they all seem to say it was,

00:26:43.620 which was the case.

00:26:45.000 Now, they were all liars.

00:26:47.500 Probably the people who,

00:26:49.620 you know,

00:26:49.840 the prominent ones,

00:26:51.420 probably just a bunch of liars

00:26:53.080 who didn't want,

00:26:54.360 you know,

00:26:55.560 Trump and Elon to have power.

00:26:57.720 But I'll bet you,

00:26:59.580 I'll bet you,

00:27:01.040 some large percentage of Democrats

00:27:03.500 who would have been

00:27:04.260 perfectly capable of knowing

00:27:06.240 that certainly wasn't a Nazi salute.

00:27:09.340 I mean,

00:27:10.060 you would have an IQ of 80

00:27:11.860 and you knew that wasn't

00:27:12.920 really a Nazi salute.

00:27:14.120 But you would have been

00:27:15.840 cognitively blinded

00:27:17.640 by your own side

00:27:18.760 because they kept saying it was.

00:27:22.080 So if everybody you talk to

00:27:23.640 says it was,

00:27:25.440 well,

00:27:26.300 suddenly you start thinking,

00:27:28.860 well,

00:27:29.060 maybe I'm wrong.

00:27:30.260 Maybe it was.

00:27:32.180 Right.

00:27:32.480 So it wouldn't even be unusual

00:27:34.440 that people were cognitively blinded

00:27:37.460 about Biden's brain.

00:27:39.400 It would be the normal operating system

00:27:42.260 of just how everything works.

00:27:44.120 As long as,

00:27:45.040 as long as the people in charge

00:27:47.320 were lying in the same way,

00:27:50.700 then the people who weren't powerful

00:27:53.080 and were just sort of on the same team

00:27:55.380 would believe it was true.

00:27:58.640 And they would believe it easily,

00:28:00.340 even though it was obviously not true.

00:28:02.860 Well,

00:28:05.440 here's one of my favorite stories.

00:28:08.080 Speaking of Jake Tapper,

00:28:09.500 he was on the Scott Galloway's podcast

00:28:11.940 and he was talking about his son.

00:28:15.600 I guess he's got a 15 year old son

00:28:17.760 and he was talking about it

00:28:20.600 in the context of the Democrat Party

00:28:23.960 and the Democrat messaging.

00:28:26.040 So he talks about his son

00:28:28.820 who was a football player

00:28:31.820 and he wanted to grow up and be a cop.

00:28:35.040 So he's 15

00:28:36.000 and that's his goal.

00:28:38.180 And apparently,

00:28:39.240 because he wanted to be a cop,

00:28:42.840 the people around him,

00:28:44.960 his friends,

00:28:46.240 have decided he must be a racist.

00:28:48.300 He wants to be a cop

00:28:54.820 because he thinks that's the best way

00:28:57.520 to help people

00:28:58.480 and therefore his friends think he's a racist

00:29:01.920 because he wants to be a cop.

00:29:04.440 And so Jake Tapper is saying,

00:29:06.660 quote,

00:29:07.020 you're deciding he's a racist

00:29:08.440 because he wants to be a cop.

00:29:10.960 And why does he want to be a cop?

00:29:12.840 He wants to be a cop

00:29:13.720 because he wants to help people,

00:29:15.720 you know,

00:29:16.200 and he thinks that's the best way

00:29:18.260 can help people.

00:29:19.640 And that's how the Democratic Party

00:29:21.300 talks to men,

00:29:23.020 not just white men,

00:29:25.000 but men.

00:29:27.140 And then Jake goes on.

00:29:29.640 He says,

00:29:30.460 the idea that he wants to be a policeman

00:29:32.540 and therefore he's racist, 0.61

00:29:35.200 my son.

00:29:36.680 And like,

00:29:37.540 you know,

00:29:38.400 that was the big laugh.

00:29:40.140 And then I got dragged in the comments

00:29:42.440 and all that stuff.

00:29:43.840 And I thought to myself,

00:29:45.820 this is why you fuckers 0.90

00:29:47.600 are losing elections.

00:29:51.420 So,

00:29:52.280 does Jake Tapper understand

00:29:55.200 what's wrong with the Democrat Party?

00:29:58.420 Yup.

00:30:00.380 Now,

00:30:01.180 I can't name names,

00:30:03.380 but I'm going to tell you

00:30:04.520 that there's at least one other person

00:30:06.480 who's a big name

00:30:08.240 in the media business

00:30:10.100 who had the same

00:30:12.140 enlightened response.

00:30:16.420 Meaning that

00:30:17.560 it's one thing to support the Democrats

00:30:20.560 until you have a son.

00:30:23.240 and then it becomes impossible

00:30:26.560 if you have a white son.

00:30:29.320 So,

00:30:30.040 he's the second person

00:30:31.340 I know of

00:30:32.300 who had a white son

00:30:34.780 and he realized,

00:30:37.120 holy fuck,

00:30:39.500 the Democrats

00:30:40.840 are against

00:30:42.840 my own son.

00:30:44.020 I think that

00:30:50.220 Jake is actually

00:30:51.480 kind of brave

00:30:52.240 to say this

00:30:53.080 out loud.

00:30:54.700 And it's important.

00:30:57.780 So,

00:30:58.500 you know,

00:30:59.060 whatever you think

00:31:00.000 of his other opinions

00:31:01.000 and what he should have known

00:31:02.380 and what he should have said sooner,

00:31:04.280 and those are all

00:31:05.100 fair,

00:31:05.760 fair

00:31:06.440 criticisms.

00:31:08.160 Does he now

00:31:08.940 understand,

00:31:09.900 does he understand

00:31:12.300 what the problem is?

00:31:15.880 Yes.

00:31:17.120 Yes,

00:31:17.700 he does.

00:31:18.980 Very clearly.

00:31:20.360 Because when it comes home

00:31:21.740 like that,

00:31:22.800 you're not talking

00:31:23.800 about the news,

00:31:24.700 you're talking about

00:31:25.400 your son

00:31:26.220 and the trouble

00:31:28.660 he's going to have

00:31:29.460 in society.

00:31:32.720 That's some reality

00:31:33.920 coming home.

00:31:36.140 So,

00:31:36.720 there's that.

00:31:38.860 But let's see,

00:31:39.720 are the Democrats

00:31:40.640 planning to do anything

00:31:41.820 about this problem?

00:31:43.280 Well,

00:31:43.660 it turns out,

00:31:44.260 yes.

00:31:45.080 Yeah,

00:31:45.300 the Democrats

00:31:45.800 have a plan.

00:32:03.000 you're richer

00:32:05.880 According to

00:32:06.640 the New York Times,

00:32:08.360 this is going to

00:32:09.340 sound like

00:32:09.840 I'm making it up.

00:32:11.660 So,

00:32:12.200 I'm going to tell you

00:32:12.820 in advance,

00:32:13.800 I'm not making

00:32:14.640 this next part up.

00:32:16.340 This is actually real.

00:32:19.840 According to

00:32:20.620 the New York Times,

00:32:22.380 the Democrats

00:32:25.120 are going to spend

00:32:25.820 $20 million

00:32:26.580 on a project

00:32:29.600 they call,

00:32:30.780 quote,

00:32:31.140 speaking with

00:32:32.120 American men,

00:32:33.300 a strategic plan.

00:32:34.700 they will,

00:32:38.440 quote,

00:32:39.300 study the syntax,

00:32:41.080 language,

00:32:41.560 and content

00:32:42.340 that gains

00:32:43.400 attention and

00:32:44.260 vitality

00:32:45.000 in these spaces.

00:32:47.600 Above all,

00:32:49.020 we must shift

00:32:50.020 from a moralizing tone.

00:32:57.020 Are you getting close?

00:32:58.640 No,

00:32:59.900 no.

00:33:01.720 Could the

00:33:02.960 Democratic Party

00:33:04.020 spend about

00:33:04.860 one minute

00:33:05.560 talking to

00:33:06.220 fucking Jake Tapper

00:33:07.380 to find out

00:33:08.020 what the problem is?

00:33:09.660 Hey,

00:33:10.180 Jake,

00:33:10.740 could you please,

00:33:12.460 could you please

00:33:13.820 explain to these

00:33:14.860 fucking idiots

00:33:16.000 what the problem is?

00:33:18.140 And if you're not

00:33:18.880 going to,

00:33:19.580 I refer you to

00:33:20.820 Fisher King,

00:33:22.100 which is a

00:33:23.080 account on X.

00:33:25.060 You should be

00:33:25.680 following,

00:33:26.080 by the way,

00:33:26.740 Fisher King,

00:33:28.540 F-I-S-C-H-E-R, 1.00

00:33:31.420 King,

00:33:32.220 and he

00:33:33.460 commented on this.

00:33:35.740 He says,

00:33:36.700 if Democrats

00:33:37.360 want to win

00:33:38.040 over young men,

00:33:39.660 particularly white men,

00:33:41.160 they need to stop

00:33:42.200 actively hating them.

00:33:44.040 Okay,

00:33:44.700 okay,

00:33:45.040 now we're getting

00:33:45.620 closer.

00:33:47.540 Was it a problem

00:33:48.620 with the syntax

00:33:49.600 in their spaces?

00:33:51.060 Or is it that

00:33:52.100 they're actively

00:33:52.820 fucking hating them?

00:33:54.700 Which one do you

00:33:55.540 think is the

00:33:56.000 problem here?

00:33:57.380 Because we need

00:33:58.120 to,

00:33:58.480 they need to

00:33:59.240 stop actively

00:34:00.000 hating them.

00:34:01.020 Demeaning them,

00:34:02.280 yes,

00:34:03.060 and putting up

00:34:04.020 roadblocks,

00:34:05.120 such as

00:34:05.680 affirmative action,

00:34:06.760 DEI,

00:34:07.400 sensitivity training,

00:34:08.880 in the path

00:34:09.480 of their success.

00:34:10.600 It's not about,

00:34:12.120 quote,

00:34:12.660 the tone.

00:34:15.080 And then

00:34:15.840 Fisher King

00:34:16.520 follows up by saying,

00:34:18.220 he says,

00:34:21.120 of course this

00:34:21.840 will not happen

00:34:22.580 anytime soon,

00:34:23.560 because the

00:34:24.560 coalition they've

00:34:25.520 assembled won't

00:34:26.320 have it.

00:34:27.080 They're like the

00:34:27.680 bar scene in

00:34:28.520 Star Wars.

00:34:32.780 Now,

00:34:34.040 compare that

00:34:35.140 level,

00:34:35.840 that level of

00:34:37.120 analysis,

00:34:38.240 which of course

00:34:39.060 is perfect,

00:34:40.560 to,

00:34:41.120 we're going to

00:34:42.040 spend $20 million

00:34:42.980 to study the

00:34:44.680 syntax,

00:34:45.420 language,

00:34:45.820 and content

00:34:46.420 that gains

00:34:47.020 attention and

00:34:47.780 vitality in

00:34:48.580 these spaces.

00:34:49.180 why don't

00:34:52.140 you give the

00:34:52.560 $20 million

00:34:53.120 to Fisher King,

00:34:54.400 because he just

00:34:54.880 solved your

00:34:55.320 whole fucking

00:34:55.920 problem.

00:34:57.540 But you're

00:34:58.300 going to

00:34:58.480 ignore it,

00:34:58.960 because you're

00:34:59.440 the bar scene

00:35:00.780 from Star Wars.

00:35:03.820 All right,

00:35:04.220 now,

00:35:05.960 is the problem

00:35:06.720 that politicians

00:35:09.100 are uniquely

00:35:11.260 unable to

00:35:12.180 understand the

00:35:13.040 public?

00:35:13.960 Is that the

00:35:14.500 problem?

00:35:15.680 Do you think

00:35:16.140 it's just that

00:35:16.840 politicians are

00:35:18.120 not good at

00:35:18.760 understanding

00:35:19.280 things?

00:35:20.480 Well,

00:35:21.480 here's a

00:35:22.400 story from

00:35:22.960 today about

00:35:24.600 Trump.

00:35:26.080 So I'm just

00:35:27.060 going to read

00:35:27.500 one thing that

00:35:28.200 Trump is saying,

00:35:29.560 and you tell

00:35:30.180 me who

00:35:31.160 understands

00:35:31.920 the public,

00:35:34.160 right?

00:35:35.020 Trump does

00:35:36.100 the truth,

00:35:36.680 and he says

00:35:37.220 that he's

00:35:39.180 considering pulling

00:35:40.140 $3 billion

00:35:40.940 from Harvard

00:35:42.000 and giving it

00:35:43.580 to trade

00:35:44.180 schools across

00:35:45.020 the country.

00:35:45.620 any questions?

00:35:54.920 Trump wants

00:35:55.940 to pull

00:35:56.280 $3 billion

00:35:57.020 of taxpayer

00:35:58.560 money from

00:35:59.200 Harvard,

00:36:00.060 which is a

00:36:01.100 cesspool of

00:36:01.980 discrimination,

00:36:03.760 and put it

00:36:04.760 in trade

00:36:05.280 schools,

00:36:06.160 which would

00:36:07.720 be really

00:36:08.240 good for

00:36:08.740 men,

00:36:09.340 other people

00:36:10.200 too.

00:36:10.520 Now,

00:36:13.380 is there

00:36:13.760 anything you

00:36:15.700 don't understand

00:36:16.580 about that?

00:36:17.680 No.

00:36:18.480 You understand

00:36:19.140 that perfectly.

00:36:20.400 Is it right

00:36:21.220 on point

00:36:21.940 with what

00:36:23.340 that entire

00:36:24.040 demographic is

00:36:25.160 looking for

00:36:25.800 and wants?

00:36:26.400 Yes.

00:36:27.240 Yes,

00:36:27.560 it is.

00:36:27.840 It's right

00:36:28.260 on point.

00:36:29.320 Does it treat

00:36:30.000 them like

00:36:30.480 children?

00:36:31.340 No.

00:36:32.180 Does it treat

00:36:32.820 them like

00:36:33.260 people who

00:36:33.780 want to

00:36:34.100 contribute and

00:36:34.960 make a

00:36:35.300 difference and

00:36:35.840 be successful

00:36:36.580 in life?

00:36:37.700 Yes.

00:36:38.740 It gets

00:36:39.100 everything

00:36:39.480 right.

00:36:40.600 It's not

00:36:41.460 a problem

00:36:42.080 with politicians.

00:36:44.100 It's a

00:36:44.820 problem with

00:36:45.400 politicians who

00:36:46.240 can't do

00:36:46.660 this.

00:36:50.500 All right,

00:36:51.220 I think I

00:36:51.660 made my

00:36:52.020 point.

00:36:54.620 I've been

00:36:55.340 following on

00:36:56.520 ex-Matt

00:36:57.740 Van Swal,

00:36:58.960 who's doing

00:37:00.420 a great job

00:37:01.180 of talking

00:37:02.300 about the

00:37:02.940 doge

00:37:03.460 situation.

00:37:05.360 Here,

00:37:06.040 he summarizes

00:37:06.680 it this way.

00:37:07.580 Doge is

00:37:08.360 literally one

00:37:09.080 of the most

00:37:09.500 popular

00:37:10.080 government

00:37:10.740 initiatives

00:37:11.380 in history.

00:37:12.920 73%

00:37:13.900 of Americans

00:37:14.600 say they

00:37:15.080 support

00:37:15.540 cutting

00:37:16.000 government

00:37:16.520 waste.

00:37:17.880 Trump

00:37:18.260 brought in

00:37:18.920 the smartest

00:37:19.480 man on

00:37:20.080 earth to

00:37:20.500 do it,

00:37:21.600 and then

00:37:22.300 the left

00:37:22.780 destroyed

00:37:23.660 Elon for

00:37:24.420 it,

00:37:25.200 and the

00:37:26.080 GOP

00:37:26.620 won't vote

00:37:27.300 on it.

00:37:28.900 I can't

00:37:29.800 believe this.

00:37:32.520 And then

00:37:33.060 Elon responded

00:37:34.180 to the

00:37:34.560 post,

00:37:36.000 three words,

00:37:37.920 did my

00:37:38.400 best.

00:37:39.080 Wow.

00:37:46.420 There's

00:37:46.980 almost

00:37:47.260 nothing I

00:37:47.860 can say

00:37:48.220 about that.

00:37:49.940 You know,

00:37:50.800 you probably

00:37:51.880 heard me

00:37:52.460 early on

00:37:53.240 in the

00:37:53.740 doge

00:37:54.120 process,

00:37:55.240 and I

00:37:55.900 was saying,

00:37:57.140 you know,

00:37:57.820 I love

00:37:58.420 everything

00:37:58.920 doge is

00:37:59.520 trying to

00:38:00.120 do,

00:38:00.940 but when

00:38:01.960 it gets

00:38:02.320 to Congress,

00:38:03.600 they're just

00:38:04.880 going to

00:38:05.220 spend his

00:38:05.900 savings,

00:38:06.380 but it's

00:38:07.720 even worse

00:38:08.300 than that.

00:38:09.680 They're

00:38:09.840 never going

00:38:10.680 to even

00:38:11.020 codify the

00:38:11.800 savings.

00:38:12.660 Not the

00:38:13.500 Democrats,

00:38:14.640 not the

00:38:15.460 Republicans.

00:38:16.600 They're not

00:38:17.200 even going

00:38:17.540 to vote

00:38:17.860 on it.

00:38:19.280 So all

00:38:20.020 that work,

00:38:21.320 all that

00:38:21.840 sacrifice

00:38:22.800 that Elon

00:38:25.060 Musk did 1.00

00:38:25.740 to get

00:38:26.380 that right,

00:38:27.040 Congress

00:38:29.540 is going

00:38:30.120 to shit

00:38:32.240 on it.

00:38:34.080 And

00:38:34.280 I'm

00:38:37.600 almost

00:38:38.020 losing my

00:38:38.740 mind

00:38:39.240 that we

00:38:41.280 can just

00:38:41.700 watch this

00:38:42.420 happen.

00:38:43.600 Now,

00:38:44.300 it's not

00:38:45.060 everybody.

00:38:45.740 You know,

00:38:46.000 Marjorie Taylor

00:38:46.720 Green is

00:38:47.500 trying to get

00:38:48.720 it codified,

00:38:49.640 et cetera.

00:38:49.980 But the

00:38:51.840 fact that

00:38:52.520 all that

00:38:53.360 effort,

00:38:55.240 it looks

00:38:55.700 like,

00:38:56.900 you know,

00:38:57.640 some portion

00:38:58.360 of it anyway

00:38:59.020 is going

00:38:59.400 to be

00:38:59.640 thwarted

00:39:00.160 by your

00:39:00.520 own

00:39:00.720 Congress,

00:39:01.960 is such

00:39:02.460 a tragedy.

00:39:06.520 It's

00:39:06.940 almost

00:39:07.300 impossible

00:39:08.740 to understand.

00:39:10.160 It's like

00:39:10.700 we're running

00:39:11.260 as fast

00:39:11.820 as we can

00:39:12.420 toward a

00:39:12.980 cliff,

00:39:14.880 and we

00:39:16.460 even have

00:39:16.820 the smartest

00:39:17.300 people in

00:39:17.880 the world

00:39:18.340 trying to

00:39:19.180 prevent it.

00:39:20.940 And even

00:39:21.800 that doesn't

00:39:22.400 help.

00:39:23.860 What is

00:39:24.700 going on

00:39:25.300 here?

00:39:26.640 What is

00:39:27.200 going on?

00:39:30.100 Well,

00:39:30.760 in other

00:39:31.180 news,

00:39:32.560 do you ever

00:39:33.120 have one of

00:39:33.560 these situations

00:39:34.380 where there's

00:39:35.460 something that

00:39:36.020 you just assumed

00:39:36.960 was always

00:39:37.580 true,

00:39:38.620 and then

00:39:39.700 suddenly one

00:39:40.860 day you

00:39:41.600 realize or

00:39:42.400 you hear

00:39:42.720 something and

00:39:43.300 you go,

00:39:44.200 wait a minute,

00:39:45.160 that couldn't

00:39:46.180 have been

00:39:46.500 true.

00:39:47.880 So here's

00:39:48.740 an example

00:39:49.260 of that

00:39:49.580 for me.

00:39:51.020 So for

00:39:52.080 years and

00:39:53.500 years and

00:39:53.940 years,

00:39:54.720 I've been

00:39:55.460 hearing that

00:39:56.120 one of the

00:39:56.600 reasons that

00:39:57.180 Harvard and

00:39:57.940 some of the

00:39:58.400 other Ivy 0.72

00:39:58.880 leagues have

00:40:00.000 a lot of

00:40:00.440 foreign

00:40:00.780 students is

00:40:02.500 what?

00:40:03.720 Do you know

00:40:04.400 the answer?

00:40:04.840 why is it

00:40:06.240 that Harvard

00:40:06.840 and a lot

00:40:08.480 of other

00:40:09.060 Ivy 0.55

00:40:09.740 leagues have

00:40:10.620 a high

00:40:12.140 percentage of

00:40:13.020 foreign

00:40:13.460 students?

00:40:15.040 You know

00:40:15.760 the answer

00:40:16.180 too,

00:40:16.520 right?

00:40:18.540 Everybody

00:40:19.140 knows the

00:40:19.700 answer.

00:40:20.460 The answer

00:40:21.160 is that the

00:40:21.860 foreign

00:40:22.260 students were

00:40:23.000 paying full

00:40:24.600 price,

00:40:26.200 full tuition,

00:40:28.100 and so

00:40:29.120 they'd make

00:40:29.640 more money

00:40:30.140 over the

00:40:30.680 foreign

00:40:30.980 students,

00:40:31.600 right?

00:40:31.880 just

00:40:34.000 obvious.

00:40:35.740 Now,

00:40:36.240 you know,

00:40:36.680 as I tell

00:40:37.880 you too

00:40:38.280 often,

00:40:38.760 I have a

00:40:39.720 degree in

00:40:40.220 economics,

00:40:41.720 and I've

00:40:42.980 got an

00:40:43.260 MBA from

00:40:44.340 a top

00:40:44.980 school,

00:40:45.820 and I

00:40:46.740 would hear

00:40:47.120 that and

00:40:47.620 I'd say

00:40:47.940 to myself,

00:40:48.600 oh,

00:40:49.380 okay,

00:40:49.960 well that

00:40:50.300 explains

00:40:50.780 everything.

00:40:51.200 And then

00:40:54.340 one day,

00:40:55.640 which was

00:40:56.200 just recently,

00:40:57.320 I just

00:40:58.060 realized what

00:40:58.760 an idiot

00:40:59.180 I am.

00:41:02.500 So here's

00:41:03.480 the assumption

00:41:04.120 you have to

00:41:04.900 make for

00:41:06.100 this to be

00:41:06.800 true.

00:41:07.600 Are you

00:41:07.940 ready for

00:41:08.320 this?

00:41:09.960 If you

00:41:10.740 also believe

00:41:11.460 that was

00:41:11.860 true,

00:41:13.100 here's the

00:41:13.620 assumption

00:41:13.980 that you

00:41:14.580 and I

00:41:14.880 both made.

00:41:16.620 We made

00:41:17.480 the assumption

00:41:18.040 that if

00:41:18.580 these foreign

00:41:19.240 students didn't

00:41:21.100 come in

00:41:21.500 and pay

00:41:21.860 full tuition

00:41:22.700 that the

00:41:24.020 seats would

00:41:24.540 be empty.

00:41:29.780 That the

00:41:30.600 seats would

00:41:31.060 be empty

00:41:31.660 because they

00:41:34.140 wouldn't be

00:41:34.500 able to

00:41:34.820 find a

00:41:35.240 bunch of

00:41:36.280 Asian

00:41:37.320 American

00:41:37.760 people who

00:41:38.560 desperately

00:41:39.100 wanted to

00:41:39.640 go to

00:41:39.900 Harvard but

00:41:40.480 got turned

00:41:41.020 away because

00:41:42.060 they were

00:41:42.340 Asian

00:41:42.620 American,

00:41:43.960 or that

00:41:44.500 all the

00:41:45.660 white students

00:41:46.680 who knew

00:41:47.600 exactly what

00:41:48.480 Harvard

00:41:48.880 cost and

00:41:50.600 they were

00:41:50.920 applying but

00:41:51.520 they got

00:41:51.860 turned away

00:41:52.340 because they

00:41:52.880 were white?

00:41:54.220 That they

00:41:54.940 wouldn't fill

00:41:55.440 those spaces?

00:41:58.140 You know,

00:41:58.940 obviously they

00:41:59.780 might have

00:42:00.140 needed some

00:42:01.200 financial support,

00:42:02.620 et cetera,

00:42:03.460 but it

00:42:05.740 couldn't have

00:42:06.200 possibly been

00:42:07.120 true.

00:42:08.320 It couldn't

00:42:09.320 possibly have

00:42:10.280 been true

00:42:10.880 that Harvard

00:42:12.280 would lose

00:42:13.020 money if

00:42:14.540 they said,

00:42:15.160 well, you

00:42:15.780 know, the

00:42:16.020 rest of these

00:42:16.560 seats have to

00:42:17.160 be full

00:42:17.600 tuition and

00:42:19.020 they couldn't

00:42:19.460 find enough

00:42:20.100 Americans who

00:42:21.000 had a

00:42:21.920 4.5

00:42:23.060 average and

00:42:24.200 participated in

00:42:26.060 every possible

00:42:26.880 thing that you

00:42:28.420 need that

00:42:29.580 wouldn't be

00:42:30.560 willing to

00:42:31.120 pay whatever

00:42:31.760 it took to

00:42:32.400 get a

00:42:32.660 Harvard degree.

00:42:36.560 I've been

00:42:37.280 laughing at

00:42:37.880 myself for a

00:42:38.600 few days.

00:42:39.740 What an

00:42:40.120 idiot. 0.79

00:42:41.500 What a

00:42:42.000 freaking

00:42:42.320 idiot I

00:42:43.140 was.

00:42:43.820 Why did I

00:42:44.520 ever imagine

00:42:45.360 that was

00:42:45.760 true?

00:42:47.040 Now, the

00:42:47.680 actual truth,

00:42:48.740 I think, is a

00:42:49.980 little deeper.

00:42:50.880 I don't know

00:42:51.380 what it is,

00:42:51.920 actually.

00:42:52.940 But some

00:42:54.020 people said

00:42:54.740 that the

00:42:55.840 foreign

00:42:56.200 students'

00:42:57.040 parents were

00:42:58.020 maybe making

00:42:58.740 large donations.

00:43:00.920 I don't know

00:43:01.660 how, you

00:43:02.600 know, how

00:43:03.060 universal that

00:43:03.940 was.

00:43:04.860 Other people

00:43:05.480 said, no,

00:43:06.100 no, it's

00:43:06.680 the real game

00:43:08.480 here is to

00:43:09.560 educate foreign

00:43:10.760 people who

00:43:11.480 have become

00:43:11.880 leaders in

00:43:12.600 their own

00:43:12.960 country.

00:43:13.420 so really

00:43:14.860 it's how

00:43:15.600 the U.S.

00:43:16.880 government

00:43:17.260 controls other

00:43:18.960 countries in

00:43:19.960 the long

00:43:20.380 term by

00:43:21.520 educating them

00:43:22.380 in Harvard.

00:43:23.340 To which I

00:43:23.920 say, really?

00:43:26.100 Sending them

00:43:26.780 to the

00:43:27.380 heart of

00:43:28.640 communism?

00:43:32.040 The heart

00:43:32.920 of communism

00:43:33.740 and then

00:43:34.600 sending them

00:43:35.140 home with a

00:43:35.640 Harvard degree

00:43:36.440 is going to

00:43:37.480 help America

00:43:38.180 somehow?

00:43:39.400 That doesn't

00:43:40.140 really track.

00:43:40.880 Then other

00:43:43.100 people were

00:43:43.560 saying, Scott,

00:43:44.980 the foreign 0.60

00:43:46.560 students were

00:43:47.440 also getting

00:43:48.480 discounted

00:43:50.640 tuition.

00:43:52.060 To which I

00:43:53.080 say, what?

00:43:54.640 What?

00:43:57.320 Now I'm

00:43:58.520 really confused.

00:44:00.920 So I don't

00:44:01.920 know exactly

00:44:02.600 what's true.

00:44:03.280 I just

00:44:05.160 know that I

00:44:05.980 was a

00:44:06.500 freaking

00:44:06.860 idiot, an 0.94

00:44:08.940 idiot, for

00:44:10.580 imagining that

00:44:11.440 those Harvard

00:44:12.120 seats were

00:44:12.780 going to sit

00:44:13.220 there empty

00:44:13.880 because we

00:44:15.160 didn't fill

00:44:15.640 them with

00:44:15.940 foreign students

00:44:16.840 paying full

00:44:17.440 tuition.

00:44:19.500 Is anybody

00:44:20.240 having the

00:44:20.800 same reaction

00:44:21.560 that I had

00:44:22.420 when I first

00:44:23.100 thought of it?

00:44:24.880 Is anybody

00:44:25.600 saying, oh,

00:44:26.920 I just sort

00:44:28.260 of assumed

00:44:28.700 that was true.

00:44:29.320 I didn't

00:44:29.520 really think

00:44:29.940 about it that

00:44:30.460 much.

00:44:32.280 No, it

00:44:32.900 couldn't have

00:44:33.260 been true.

00:44:34.180 It never

00:44:34.760 could have

00:44:35.140 been true.

00:44:36.020 I don't

00:44:36.360 know what

00:44:36.640 is true,

00:44:37.760 but it's

00:44:38.180 definitely not

00:44:38.940 that.

00:44:41.080 Anyway, is

00:44:43.960 there any

00:44:44.320 other news

00:44:44.980 about Harvard

00:44:45.620 that makes

00:44:46.140 Harvard look

00:44:46.740 stupid?

00:44:47.140 good?

00:44:47.800 Oh, yeah.

00:44:52.540 Again, I

00:44:54.240 have to tell

00:44:54.840 you before I

00:44:55.540 tell you this

00:44:56.040 story, I'm

00:44:56.680 not making

00:44:57.180 it up.

00:44:58.520 This is an

00:44:59.140 actual story in

00:45:00.180 the news.

00:45:01.340 According to

00:45:01.780 the Daily

00:45:02.260 Mail, Harvard

00:45:03.960 just fired a

00:45:05.280 professor after

00:45:06.900 finding that she

00:45:07.840 fabricated

00:45:08.720 research used

00:45:10.420 in studies on

00:45:11.480 dishonesty.

00:45:12.340 so Francesca

00:45:15.780 Gino, she 0.99

00:45:16.960 was considered

00:45:17.920 a star

00:45:19.080 business

00:45:19.640 professor at

00:45:20.880 Harvard, and

00:45:22.180 she'd been

00:45:22.600 doing, I

00:45:24.000 guess she'd

00:45:24.420 been doing

00:45:24.860 studies, you

00:45:26.080 know, more

00:45:26.400 than one

00:45:26.800 study, I

00:45:27.580 guess there

00:45:27.880 were at

00:45:28.260 least four

00:45:28.820 studies she

00:45:29.500 did about

00:45:30.820 honesty, and

00:45:32.880 she had

00:45:34.840 allegedly

00:45:35.340 falsified.

00:45:36.320 she lied, she 0.93

00:45:40.960 lied on her

00:45:41.840 studies about

00:45:42.540 lying, oh

00:45:44.080 my god, and

00:45:45.480 she was like a

00:45:46.160 star professor,

00:45:47.860 oh my god,

00:45:51.320 I swear I

00:45:55.000 didn't make

00:45:55.400 that up.

00:45:57.920 Well, Dan

00:45:58.880 Bongino is

00:46:00.340 giving us a

00:46:00.920 little update

00:46:01.440 on X, but

00:46:03.300 what's going

00:46:04.420 on there, and

00:46:05.700 he said,

00:46:06.080 he made the

00:46:07.440 decision to

00:46:08.520 either reopen

00:46:09.340 or push

00:46:09.860 additional

00:46:10.320 resources into

00:46:11.500 investigating

00:46:12.280 three specific

00:46:14.780 cases he

00:46:15.560 mentioned.

00:46:16.480 Number one,

00:46:17.640 the DC

00:46:18.300 pipe bombing

00:46:19.320 investigation.

00:46:21.400 You know

00:46:22.020 how it

00:46:22.700 seemed like

00:46:23.080 nothing was

00:46:23.640 happening with

00:46:24.240 that DC,

00:46:25.580 you know, that

00:46:26.020 was the

00:46:26.360 January 6th,

00:46:27.360 who put the

00:46:28.060 pipe bomb

00:46:28.600 there?

00:46:29.180 Because that

00:46:29.860 all looked

00:46:30.220 really suspicious,

00:46:31.760 so that's

00:46:32.360 good.

00:46:33.280 I'm glad

00:46:34.000 that he's

00:46:34.360 putting some

00:46:34.860 resources behind

00:46:35.700 that.

00:46:36.560 The next

00:46:37.000 one is the

00:46:37.720 cocaine discovery

00:46:38.820 at the

00:46:39.560 White House.

00:46:41.040 Really?

00:46:42.560 Dan?

00:46:44.060 How many of

00:46:45.060 you give a

00:46:46.520 shit about the

00:46:48.840 cocaine discovery

00:46:50.120 at the White

00:46:50.740 House how many

00:46:51.600 years ago?

00:46:53.000 Does anybody

00:46:53.800 care about that?

00:46:55.640 Is that where

00:46:56.480 you want your

00:46:57.240 tax money to be

00:46:59.200 spent?

00:47:00.120 Do you want the

00:47:00.820 FBI to go

00:47:02.940 look into

00:47:03.440 who left

00:47:04.600 the bag

00:47:05.040 of cocaine?

00:47:09.240 I have so

00:47:10.500 little interest

00:47:11.260 in that.

00:47:12.520 Now, I

00:47:13.840 assume that's

00:47:14.520 purely political,

00:47:16.160 and I don't

00:47:17.880 mind that

00:47:18.600 political stuff

00:47:20.000 gets done,

00:47:21.160 but why are

00:47:22.100 you wasting

00:47:22.580 our money on

00:47:23.960 a bag of

00:47:24.620 cocaine,

00:47:25.720 even in the

00:47:26.620 White House?

00:47:27.160 So, Dan,

00:47:30.540 why in the

00:47:32.160 world are you

00:47:32.700 spending time

00:47:33.580 and money on

00:47:34.160 that?

00:47:35.300 Like, what

00:47:35.900 could come of

00:47:36.620 it?

00:47:38.020 Like, what's

00:47:38.840 the upside?

00:47:40.020 Is the

00:47:40.740 upside that we

00:47:41.720 get one person

00:47:43.580 in trouble for

00:47:44.700 some drugs?

00:47:47.620 What is the

00:47:48.520 upside?

00:47:50.100 Now, I

00:47:50.780 understand the

00:47:51.480 upside of

00:47:52.260 looking into

00:47:53.800 that DC pipe

00:47:54.900 bombing, and

00:47:55.620 that's a

00:47:55.940 pretty big

00:47:56.360 upside, because

00:47:57.420 we could find

00:47:58.020 out something

00:47:58.540 that really

00:47:59.180 matters, and

00:47:59.900 I think the

00:48:01.140 country cares.

00:48:02.520 But really, the

00:48:03.960 bag of cocaine,

00:48:05.540 just because it

00:48:06.620 was a big

00:48:07.100 headline story,

00:48:08.480 how about

00:48:08.920 no?

00:48:10.480 How about

00:48:11.220 you just

00:48:12.560 don't waste

00:48:13.120 my money on

00:48:13.780 that?

00:48:14.400 It's bad

00:48:15.020 enough that

00:48:15.600 the Congress

00:48:16.960 is not going

00:48:17.700 to vote on

00:48:18.300 Doge, but

00:48:20.180 you're going to

00:48:21.480 consciously waste

00:48:23.140 my money on

00:48:23.900 that?

00:48:24.300 one bag of

00:48:25.660 cocaine?

00:48:26.380 Is somebody

00:48:26.740 left?

00:48:28.080 God, I

00:48:28.620 could not be

00:48:29.120 less interested

00:48:29.860 in that.

00:48:33.180 And the

00:48:33.780 other one is

00:48:34.300 the leak of

00:48:35.060 the Supreme

00:48:35.580 Court Dobbs

00:48:36.620 case.

00:48:38.020 Well, I

00:48:38.800 think they do

00:48:39.340 need to

00:48:39.700 understand where

00:48:40.340 the leaks

00:48:40.840 come from,

00:48:41.940 but I

00:48:43.820 don't know if

00:48:44.120 they can find

00:48:44.660 it.

00:48:45.340 Anyway, I

00:48:47.600 saw a comment

00:48:48.300 on X from

00:48:49.340 retired

00:48:50.520 Colonel Doug

00:48:52.620 McGregor.

00:48:54.260 Now, it

00:48:55.080 means more

00:48:56.020 because he's

00:48:56.800 a retired

00:48:57.760 combat

00:48:58.820 professional.

00:49:01.260 And he

00:49:01.940 said this

00:49:02.520 about peace

00:49:05.700 in Ukraine.

00:49:06.640 He said,

00:49:07.340 in all

00:49:07.640 honesty, I

00:49:08.380 do not

00:49:08.800 believe there's

00:49:09.440 a chance

00:49:09.900 for a deal

00:49:10.520 with Russia

00:49:11.200 and Ukraine

00:49:11.860 at this

00:49:12.440 point.

00:49:13.680 He says,

00:49:14.500 if you're

00:49:14.900 Zelensky,

00:49:15.840 the worst

00:49:16.640 thing that

00:49:17.020 could happen

00:49:17.480 to you is

00:49:18.080 for troops

00:49:18.700 to come

00:49:19.220 home, you

00:49:21.580 know where

00:49:21.860 this is

00:49:22.240 going, he

00:49:23.260 says they

00:49:23.740 are likely

00:49:24.200 to find

00:49:24.780 him and

00:49:25.100 kill him.

00:49:25.920 If he

00:49:26.480 ends the

00:49:26.920 war, he's 0.80

00:49:27.740 the target.

00:49:29.060 The lives

00:49:29.680 lost on the

00:49:30.420 battlefield exceed

00:49:31.420 one million,

00:49:32.680 and the

00:49:33.260 wounded are

00:49:33.940 one to one

00:49:34.600 and a half

00:49:34.940 to two times

00:49:35.660 that number.

00:49:37.460 Now, does

00:49:38.000 that opinion

00:49:38.900 sound familiar?

00:49:41.720 That's my

00:49:42.480 opinion.

00:49:43.380 My opinion

00:49:44.280 is if

00:49:44.980 Zelensky

00:49:45.780 ended the

00:49:46.620 war, he 0.93

00:49:47.080 would personally

00:49:47.760 be killed

00:49:48.420 so that

00:49:50.000 we don't

00:49:50.420 have any

00:49:50.880 option for

00:49:52.880 peace as

00:49:54.640 long as

00:49:55.080 he's in

00:49:55.420 power.

00:49:57.380 So, and

00:49:59.940 it makes a

00:50:00.520 difference when

00:50:01.980 I hear from

00:50:02.760 Colonel

00:50:03.760 McGregor

00:50:04.340 because,

00:50:06.580 you know,

00:50:07.860 he's got a

00:50:08.360 deeper understanding

00:50:09.280 of how the

00:50:10.040 troops would

00:50:10.960 feel in a

00:50:11.620 case like

00:50:12.080 that.

00:50:12.860 But I

00:50:13.680 agree,

00:50:14.400 absolutely.

00:50:17.760 I have a

00:50:18.500 correction to

00:50:19.380 make.

00:50:20.620 I don't

00:50:21.240 know the

00:50:21.600 exact details,

00:50:23.880 but I think

00:50:24.700 my part of

00:50:25.320 it was

00:50:25.580 wrong.

00:50:26.680 I told you

00:50:27.480 about Gaza,

00:50:28.780 and I told

00:50:30.960 you that the

00:50:31.640 U.S.

00:50:32.100 contractors

00:50:32.800 were going

00:50:34.040 to handle

00:50:34.500 the aid and

00:50:38.320 the food for

00:50:39.160 the Gaza

00:50:40.220 residents who

00:50:41.080 were being

00:50:41.480 relocated into

00:50:43.820 one quarter of

00:50:44.960 Gaza so that 0.93

00:50:46.280 the rest of

00:50:46.820 it could be

00:50:47.260 cleared of

00:50:47.780 Hamas, I

00:50:48.540 guess.

00:50:49.640 And I

00:50:51.160 mistakenly said

00:50:52.360 that the U.S.

00:50:53.220 was paying for

00:50:54.080 that foreign 1.00

00:50:54.800 aid.

00:50:56.860 I think it's

00:50:58.080 only true that

00:50:58.820 U.S.

00:50:59.280 contractors are

00:51:00.220 managing the

00:51:01.060 aid, but

00:51:02.280 probably being

00:51:02.820 paid to do

00:51:03.420 it.

00:51:04.200 That makes

00:51:04.980 them contractors.

00:51:06.840 But it

00:51:07.480 doesn't look

00:51:08.020 like America 0.94

00:51:08.700 necessarily was

00:51:10.440 paying for the

00:51:11.200 aid.

00:51:11.460 I don't know

00:51:11.840 who is.

00:51:12.220 Well, I

00:51:15.380 saw Zuby

00:51:16.220 on the

00:51:17.760 X platform

00:51:18.480 talking about

00:51:20.060 some statistics

00:51:22.220 about single

00:51:23.040 moms, and 0.59

00:51:24.780 he noted that

00:51:25.440 the U.S.A.

00:51:26.100 has the

00:51:26.560 highest rate of

00:51:27.300 children living

00:51:28.100 in single

00:51:28.860 mother households

00:51:30.100 were about

00:51:31.240 triple the

00:51:31.980 global average.

00:51:32.960 So 23%

00:51:34.340 of U.S.A.

00:51:37.040 households have

00:51:38.200 a single

00:51:38.820 mom.

00:51:40.360 And Zuby

00:51:40.960 asks, why

00:51:41.900 do you

00:51:42.160 think that

00:51:42.600 is?

00:51:44.520 Does anybody

00:51:45.340 have an

00:51:45.720 idea?

00:51:46.380 Why do you

00:51:47.040 think that

00:51:47.600 the U.S.

00:51:49.080 has the

00:51:49.560 highest rate

00:51:50.220 of children

00:51:50.840 living in

00:51:51.760 single mother

00:51:52.580 households?

00:51:54.980 And the

00:51:55.680 answer is

00:51:56.360 because it's

00:51:57.720 an option.

00:51:59.300 That's it.

00:52:01.540 That's the

00:52:02.200 whole reason.

00:52:03.420 If it's an 0.57

00:52:04.060 option, people

00:52:05.720 will take it.

00:52:06.860 And the

00:52:07.440 better the

00:52:07.920 option is,

00:52:09.480 the more

00:52:09.900 likely they'll

00:52:10.540 take it.

00:52:11.880 Now, in

00:52:12.540 my own

00:52:13.360 example, I

00:52:15.780 have twice

00:52:16.620 married single

00:52:17.900 moms who 0.62

00:52:19.780 had step

00:52:20.760 kids.

00:52:22.180 Now, do you

00:52:22.980 think that

00:52:23.360 that happens

00:52:24.020 as easily in

00:52:24.900 other countries?

00:52:26.360 Do you think

00:52:27.260 that in every

00:52:28.200 country in the

00:52:28.900 world, a

00:52:30.160 single mom

00:52:30.900 with two

00:52:31.340 kids can

00:52:32.260 easily get

00:52:32.960 married or

00:52:34.120 remarried?

00:52:35.560 Probably not.

00:52:36.720 probably there

00:52:38.460 are huge

00:52:38.960 cultural

00:52:39.820 disadvantages.

00:52:42.100 Do you

00:52:42.400 think that

00:52:42.980 it would be

00:52:43.480 easy for

00:52:44.420 a mom to

00:52:46.420 get divorced

00:52:47.280 in every

00:52:49.300 other country?

00:52:50.960 Probably not.

00:52:53.180 Do you think

00:52:53.860 that the

00:52:54.240 woman has 1.00

00:52:55.060 maybe a

00:52:56.460 job that

00:52:57.280 pays

00:52:57.760 before she

00:53:01.600 gets divorced?

00:53:02.400 well, not

00:53:03.380 in every

00:53:03.740 country, but

00:53:05.420 in the

00:53:06.000 U.S. a

00:53:06.540 little bit

00:53:06.860 more likely.

00:53:09.600 So, there's

00:53:11.200 a whole

00:53:11.440 different story

00:53:12.180 in the

00:53:12.540 black community

00:53:13.280 in the

00:53:13.640 U.S.

00:53:14.020 where the

00:53:14.520 rate is

00:53:15.080 even higher.

00:53:16.140 It's like

00:53:16.380 50%.

00:53:17.140 And I'm

00:53:18.180 not going

00:53:18.500 to pretend

00:53:18.840 I know

00:53:19.280 what the

00:53:19.600 dynamics are

00:53:20.400 there.

00:53:21.560 But maybe

00:53:22.180 it has

00:53:22.440 something to

00:53:22.860 do with

00:53:23.160 government

00:53:23.580 support.

00:53:25.020 Maybe there's

00:53:25.660 just a little

00:53:26.200 bit more

00:53:27.040 government

00:53:27.600 support going

00:53:29.200 on.

00:53:30.900 But generally

00:53:31.480 speaking,

00:53:32.520 things happen

00:53:33.940 because there's

00:53:34.620 incentives or

00:53:36.780 because there

00:53:37.320 are options or

00:53:38.560 because it's

00:53:39.100 possible.

00:53:40.760 That's it.

00:53:42.860 If we were

00:53:44.000 in a country

00:53:44.600 where getting

00:53:45.780 divorced,

00:53:46.460 was sort

00:53:47.460 of the

00:53:47.700 end of

00:53:48.040 your life,

00:53:49.220 it just

00:53:49.620 wouldn't

00:53:49.860 happen as

00:53:50.400 much.

00:53:51.660 But we

00:53:52.020 live in a

00:53:52.480 country where

00:53:53.260 people make

00:53:54.860 it work.

00:53:55.620 I mean,

00:53:55.880 it's not

00:53:56.200 easy, but

00:53:57.560 they make it

00:53:58.080 work.

00:53:58.780 They have

00:53:59.340 possibilities.

00:54:00.980 They have

00:54:01.340 options.

00:54:02.540 So, if their

00:54:03.040 husband is

00:54:03.980 drinking or

00:54:06.260 not getting it

00:54:07.860 done one way

00:54:08.560 or the other,

00:54:09.180 they have

00:54:09.700 options.

00:54:10.920 So, I

00:54:11.320 don't think

00:54:11.680 it goes...

00:54:12.400 I think

00:54:12.760 there's no

00:54:13.620 mystery to it

00:54:14.540 whatsoever.

00:54:16.460 in science

00:54:19.540 news,

00:54:21.960 surgeons are

00:54:23.740 apparently

00:54:24.120 getting some

00:54:25.500 kind of special

00:54:26.300 glasses that

00:54:28.900 can look at

00:54:29.740 medications and

00:54:31.360 it will tell

00:54:31.900 them if it's a

00:54:33.680 big mistake to

00:54:34.480 give this

00:54:34.840 medication to

00:54:35.700 the specific

00:54:36.420 patient.

00:54:38.340 So, we're

00:54:39.380 talking about

00:54:40.100 literally picking

00:54:41.720 the wrong

00:54:42.260 stuff or

00:54:43.620 something that

00:54:44.480 maybe doesn't

00:54:45.320 work with

00:54:45.780 some other

00:54:46.200 stuff.

00:54:47.940 And it

00:54:48.660 doesn't store

00:54:49.280 the data, so

00:54:50.120 it's not doing

00:54:50.660 anything privacy

00:54:52.000 wise.

00:54:52.680 But basically, if

00:54:53.800 they pick up

00:54:54.440 the medication,

00:54:55.960 the glasses

00:54:56.740 will look at

00:54:57.540 it and it

00:54:58.080 will tell

00:54:58.400 them, oh,

00:54:59.900 don't use

00:55:00.440 that stuff.

00:55:02.480 So, they're

00:55:03.200 still waiting on

00:55:04.060 FDA approval,

00:55:05.820 but the

00:55:06.700 technology has

00:55:08.300 been tested

00:55:08.920 and it works.

00:55:10.520 NBC News is

00:55:11.580 reporting on

00:55:12.220 that.

00:55:12.460 All right,

00:55:14.820 ladies and 0.98

00:55:15.300 gentlemen, that

00:55:17.060 are the

00:55:17.400 stories that

00:55:18.340 are, yeah,

00:55:20.660 those are the

00:55:21.260 stories for

00:55:22.320 today that

00:55:23.860 are worthy of

00:55:24.620 your time.

00:55:26.080 Thanks for

00:55:26.960 joining.

00:55:28.700 And did

00:55:29.720 you all see

00:55:30.620 the video of

00:55:32.420 French President

00:55:34.180 Macron's wife

00:55:35.700 pushing him in

00:55:37.180 the face on

00:55:37.900 the, before he

00:55:39.220 exited the

00:55:39.840 airplane in

00:55:40.560 Vietnam?

00:55:42.200 I'm still

00:55:42.920 waiting to

00:55:43.460 figure out what

00:55:44.040 that was all

00:55:44.600 about.

00:55:45.780 But on the

00:55:46.500 other hand, it's

00:55:47.660 sort of none of

00:55:48.600 our business

00:55:49.220 because whatever

00:55:50.360 that was, it

00:55:51.200 was personal.

00:55:52.600 You know, it

00:55:53.040 wasn't a state

00:55:53.840 issue.

00:55:55.940 But it was

00:55:56.720 funny.

00:55:58.760 I guess that's

00:55:59.640 my only comment

00:56:00.400 about it.

00:56:00.900 It was kind of

00:56:01.460 funny.

00:56:02.120 We don't know

00:56:02.660 anything else

00:56:03.320 about it.

00:56:04.580 All right, that's

00:56:05.160 all I got for

00:56:05.640 now.

00:56:05.900 I'm going to

00:56:06.120 talk to the

00:56:06.780 people and

00:56:07.320 locals privately.

00:56:08.920 The rest of

00:56:09.660 you, I'll see

00:56:10.340 you tomorrow.

00:56:11.760 Thanks for

00:56:12.340 joining.

00:56:13.540 Locals, I'm

00:56:14.260 coming at you

00:56:14.860 privately in

00:56:15.840 30 seconds.

00:56:39.660 about it.

00:56:58.400 Bye.

00:57:01.160 Bye.

00:57:07.460 Bye.

00:57:07.580 Bye.

00:57:08.220 Bye.

00:57:08.460 Bye.

00:57:09.420 Bye.

00:57:09.660 Thank you.

00:57:39.660 Thank you.

00:58:09.660 Thank you.
