Transcript

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...
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

00:20:53.540 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,
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
