00:00:00.000
good morning everybody let's see if we can get this show rolling
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:39.600
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this
00:00:45.040
experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:51.600
all you need for that is a copper mugger glass a tank of chalice to sign a canteen sugar flask
00:01:00.160
a vessel of any kind i'm slurring my i'm slurring my voice am i not
00:01:08.720
yeah there's definitely something wrong with my mouth but uh anyway join me now for the unparalleled
00:01:14.800
pleasure of the dopamine today thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous
00:01:31.040
all right well apparently in austin there are already uh driverless teslas
00:01:41.040
so if you're uh if you walk around in austin you're gonna see these driverless cars go by
00:01:48.080
not only are there driverless cars now which is really good if you don't like people but
00:01:55.200
mit has developed a ping pong playing robot which is better than all the other ping pong playing
00:02:03.360
robots i guess because we've done this before but i'm trying to think of a future life where i i get an
00:02:12.480
uber but there's no uber driver so i don't have to worry about a person and then i take it to my
00:02:20.160
local ping pong emporium and i i play with the robot
00:02:24.720
and then i take my self-driving auto cab home i can avoid people completely
00:02:34.880
that's a that's a good world well as you know the new york times did a big piece alleging that elon
00:02:44.480
musk is taking all kinds of drugs um they say it was on ketamine and ecstasy and mushrooms and um
00:02:54.480
elon musk says nope he's not any drugs at all it's fake news and he was randomly tested for three years
00:03:03.440
after he had one one puff of uh weed on the joe rogan show so nope he's uh he's telling us quite
00:03:14.960
clearly that he is not on any kinds of drugs and i think they do keep testing him because of spacex
00:03:22.720
he did say he tried prescription ketamine a few years ago and uh but that wasn't you know that wasn't illegal so
00:03:36.400
um here is something exciting in interesting engineering um i keep telling you that the most
00:03:44.960
um the most exciting technology would be holes you know like the boring company can make a tunnel
00:03:53.040
big hole but if you could go straight down and you could go far enough you could you could get into
00:04:00.880
all that geothermal and apparently there's a new technology that looks like it can do that
00:04:08.560
and it's a company called quaze energy and what do they do they uh they have a novel drilling method
00:04:19.120
they use a gyrotron you know which is how i'd do it it's a device that generates a powerful high
00:04:28.000
frequency millimeter wave and these waves are so intense that they can literally vaporize rock
00:04:36.560
functioning like a microwave on steroids to board deep into the earth
00:04:41.120
well if that works um the energy situation on earth is really going to change because presumably
00:04:53.920
if they can make one drill they can do that they can make lots of drills that can do that
00:04:59.760
so imagine having unlimited free energy free meaning you know it might cost you 20 to 40 million dollars
00:05:09.520
to drill the hole but once you did it would be free energy for just about ever
00:05:16.320
well paris is uh probably on fire still because
00:05:23.120
the uh french soccer team won a big victory uh the uh what team is it the paris saint germans psg
00:05:34.240
i watched that uh match oh my goodness that was fun that was such a good match um it was four nothing or five nothing but it was incredible
00:05:49.120
and what do you do when your team wins well apparently if you've got a big immigrant um population
00:05:56.640
uh and and uh people have nothing else to do they burn their own city so don't go to paris when paris is
00:06:07.440
winning jp morgan chase's uh ceo jamie diamond he was at the uh reagan national economic forum
00:06:18.720
and when somebody asked him about uh stockpiling bitcoin he said we shouldn't be stockpiling bitcoin
00:06:28.800
uh the the us government should be stockpiling guns ammunition and drones
00:06:36.240
uh does jamie diamond know something we don't know well he does know that if we ever got into a
00:06:44.400
a real missile fight with you know a major enemy we would be out of missiles in about
00:06:52.160
what a week so he does know that our military industrial complex has not been doing the job or
00:07:01.040
maybe we gave too much of it to ukraine or something but we don't really have enough stuff
00:07:08.880
to have a proper war part of me thinks that's good news because if we had if we had all the weapons we
00:07:16.640
needed and all the ammunition we needed don't you think we'd be a little bit more likely to want to
00:07:23.280
start a war i like the fact that we don't anyway um and diamond also says we should be stockpiling rare earth
00:07:35.440
if we could get it um he also doesn't like immigration so jamie diamond said uh immigration
00:07:44.000
what the hell were we doing the bottom 20 of our population their wages didn't go up for 20 years
00:07:52.080
they're dying seven years younger their schools don't work america's americans are getting sick of it
00:07:57.920
and then he blames uh democrats for all of their what he calls the blue tape instead of the red tape
00:08:06.240
because he says the democrats are the ones that like all the regulations that kill business
00:08:11.520
so he's uh pretty close to a pretty close to a republican but not there yet we'll keep watching
00:08:26.160
well uh joe rogan had uh rock star bono on his show and bono thinks that the uh funding cuts to usa id
00:08:38.720
have already killed 300 000 people how many of you think that the funding cuts to usa id have killed 300 000 people
00:08:55.040
i hope not but you know that sounds a little bit ridiculous i'm not even going to fact check that
00:09:03.520
but uh rogan tried to crack them and tell them that usa id was a more of a money laundering operation than
00:09:13.040
anything else um and said that billions of dollars are missing and that uh elon musk said if any if any of
00:09:22.720
this had been done by a public company the company would be delisted and the executives would be in jail
00:09:36.480
and apparently uh retard is now just an acceptable word not with everybody of course
00:09:47.600
well pbs according to the ap pbs is going to sue the trump administration over their defunding
00:09:57.600
same as npr now how in the world can people always find a reason to sue you would think that sometimes
00:10:08.720
it would just be shit they don't like but there wouldn't be anything you could sue over so apparently
00:10:15.040
the lawsuit relies on the argument that they're being defunded because their opinions because they're
00:10:23.040
a little bit too liberal now does the government need a reason so what if that is the reason
00:10:34.720
who cares so anyway i'm just amazed that you can sue over anything you know there should be a whole
00:10:44.320
different kind of government where there's like a court that follows the president around
00:10:50.800
and as soon as the president signs an executive order the court says well anybody's suing us all
00:10:57.840
right you are you are you are all right we'll make a judgment now uh we're gonna override you
00:11:03.680
but holy cow how could it be true that everybody can sue everybody about everything in the government
00:11:14.080
anyway anyway don't don't you wonder what the legal budget is for the government
00:11:21.520
how much do you think the trump administration spends on lawyers
00:11:26.400
it's gotta be a billion like maybe a billion dollars just on lawsuits i mean it's gonna be a
00:11:38.080
crazy number i don't know claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my
00:11:43.680
match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her
00:11:49.200
backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto service
00:11:55.440
centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental
00:12:00.160
car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on time intact
00:12:06.960
insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply well allegedly there's uh according to news max
00:12:15.280
there might be some kind of geostorm today the sun might have some kind of weird effect that could
00:12:24.080
affect our our electronics how many times have we heard that i i can't tell you how many times i've
00:12:33.200
heard that the sun is exploding and your your internet's going to go out but it seems like it never does
00:12:42.000
am i jinxing it are we really bad at predicting sunspots and what they will do i'm not going to worry about
00:12:52.000
that one well trump has uh done the most trumpian thing i've ever heard in my life you know how trump
00:13:03.120
likes the show you know it doesn't matter if it's technically accurate sometimes he likes to put on a
00:13:12.560
show and apparently he truthed so he sent out a message on truth that joe biden was murdered in 2020
00:13:23.600
and replaced with a clone that has different eye color
00:13:30.240
and he really did that that's a real thing that happened in the real world
00:13:36.960
now if it were monday and probably it'll happen monday uh the democrats will go crazy it's like my god
00:13:46.240
now he's spreading the rumor that joe biden's a clone and i'm thinking to myself there were a lot
00:13:53.680
of uh republicans who thought joe biden was a clone there's there's at least one joe biden that was too
00:14:00.400
tall and we all saw that one but that was just uh probably just a body double but do you think there's a
00:14:09.120
joe biden clone with a different eye color how many of you think that joe biden died and he's he's now
00:14:20.400
a clone well the best argument against it is why would you build a clone that was also incompetent
00:14:30.880
if you wanted to clone him you'd clone him with somebody who could walk and talk you wouldn't clone
00:14:37.600
him with somebody who's just as deeply deeply cognitively impaired as the original
00:14:44.640
so i'm going to say no on that but it's funny that trump would post that um there's a secret
00:14:51.440
service whistleblower according to senator josh hawley who was saying uh this is in the new york post
00:15:01.600
uh and the secret service whistleblower claims that former president biden was so out of it
00:15:08.560
at the white house that he would quote get lost in his closet
00:15:15.520
now i i think i may have predicted some time ago that the stories about biden would start out being a
00:15:23.920
little bit mild and then they would just get worse and worse and worse until you until you
00:15:30.000
just couldn't even believe it well here it comes here it comes he would get lost in his own closet
00:15:39.600
okay you want some more apparently uh journalist olivia musy um was going to have a show on bloomberg
00:15:50.000
but her show got cancelled at the last minute because she wrote an article questioning biden's health
00:15:56.640
and suggesting there was a cover-up and her show got cancelled she got punished
00:16:04.320
so the daily mail is writing about that so allegedly bloomberg literally punished her
00:16:12.640
for having an accurate story about biden now do you understand why nobody can talk about it
00:16:19.840
it's because the democrats would punish you if he talked about it anyway is the same thing happening on
00:16:27.440
the republican side if uh if someone had some damning story about trump would that get your shows all
00:16:36.240
cancelled and maybe i don't know but uh that's pretty bad and then uh byron donald on fox news is talking
00:16:47.520
about the fact that uh i think there might be some resistance as congress is trying to get uh biden's
00:16:56.240
doctor to testify he says we need to issue subpoenas immediately for the white house doctor under joe biden
00:17:07.600
uh now how much do you think we'll find out if his doctor actually testifies in congress
00:17:18.640
do you think the doctor will tell the full truth and nothing but the truth
00:17:25.280
or is it possible that the doctor will weasel things like well i didn't see any problems when i
00:17:33.280
talk to him uh blah blah blah blah blah i feel like it'll be more like that because the doctor has to
00:17:45.200
meanwhile there was an mit class president giving a speech at graduation um and ended up getting real
00:17:53.920
political and said quote we're watching israel try to wipe out uh white palestine off the face of the
00:18:01.600
earth and it's a shame that mit is part of it and i guess uh people walked out and it became a big deal
00:18:09.360
um she submitted a fake speech that was approved before she read her real speech
00:18:18.320
which is a trick i hear that sometimes people do submit a fake speech before they read the real one
00:18:26.240
um anyway um here's the weirdest headline uh apparently china considers harvard a party school
00:18:43.440
isn't that funny that the harvard is the top party school for the chinese now i don't have much to say
00:18:50.880
about that but usually in california when we're talking about the top party school there's something
00:18:56.880
like chico state it's not the it's not the one of the top ivy leagues but it's kind of insulting
00:19:07.520
oh your best college we call it a party school really is it that easy for you um
00:19:16.240
um yeah the top party school outside of china is that real how many of you think that the chinese
00:19:27.600
actually think of harvard as a top party school does that seem likely i'm gonna say maybe not maybe not
00:19:40.080
well according to redfin they uh help you sell your house there are nearly half a million more
00:19:50.560
people selling homes and buying them right now and the six of the top 10 buyers markets are in florida
00:19:58.960
so i guess all those people who moved to florida during the pandemic have decided that a few years of
00:20:07.680
uh humidity and they're like i'm out of here how many of you could handle the humidity in florida
00:20:18.160
if you spent time there you know what i'm talking about like in california we basically don't have
00:20:24.800
humidity you know it could be super hot you don't want to go into it but we don't really have humidity
00:20:31.760
but florida oh my god it's hard to walk just to the car so i think a lot of people said to
00:20:40.320
themselves hey i like all this freedom and republicanism so i'll move to florida and then
00:20:47.600
they found out that half of the year you want to kill yourself and when you walk outside anyway

00:22:00.480
increasing the steel tariffs from 25 to 50 and um has it been blocked by an activist judge yet
00:22:11.840
i'm completely lost so we've got hundreds of countries and then when within each country there are dozens
00:22:25.520
of key products and then we've had different uh proposed tariffs on each of them which first were high and
00:22:36.560
maybe they got pulled back but they got delayed so every time i read a story like this like steel tariffs
00:22:44.960
go from this to that i don't know what is real has it already been blocked by a activist judge and if it's
00:22:54.960
been blocked by the activist judge has the supreme court already overruled it or will it it's impossible
00:23:04.000
to just follow the story about what's happening with uh with tariffs so i feel like that's good for the stock
00:23:12.320
market because the stock market can't be sure it's bad because nobody knows what it is it's just sort of
00:23:22.720
confusing and then it gets boring if it's boring and confusing then the market can adjust to it
00:23:31.520
so maybe maybe that's what's happening well according to cnn the latest inflation numbers are almost
00:23:41.520
exactly where the fed would want them 2.1 percent the fed would like it to be two percent and that's a seven
00:23:48.720
month low and it's basically like i said right where the fed would want it now that's cnn
00:23:56.240
so so far employment looks good and then i think there was also oh the next story is uh according to
00:24:08.240
the daily wire and nbc personal incomes increased by 0.8 percent in april well ahead of the forecasted 0.3
00:24:18.720
cnbc is talking about that so employment looks pretty good the stock market looks pretty good
00:24:28.160
inflation looks pretty good energy prices are coming down
00:24:33.680
and personal incomes have risen more than we thought at the same time that we're in the middle of this
00:24:46.240
this tariff chaos how could any of this be how could any of this be true you know even i thought
00:24:56.880
that the tariff stuff would at least temporarily knock things down and might still you know because
00:25:02.480
the tariffs are still a little bit more in our future than in our past
00:25:06.480
but uh things sure are going well for all that chaos anyway uh larry fink of blackrock
00:25:21.120
he says the next big thing in financial assets are that all of your financial assets will be tokenized
00:25:29.120
that means every stock every bond every financial instrument will be on one general ledger
00:25:35.360
now tokenized means something like a crypto or a bitcoin so that everybody would have public access
00:25:45.280
to look at the ledger i guess you know much like big one now does that make sense
00:25:54.800
it seems like you would uh maybe make banks unnecessary or something
00:26:00.240
you know once you had all your ledger and all your money was in some kind of public
00:26:08.320
thing that everybody could see and everybody would have access to doesn't that mean that anybody could
00:26:14.800
lend money and anybody could borrow it and you could charge interest to anybody you wanted and i feel like banks
00:26:23.360
the only thing that's keeping banks in business is that they have lobbyists you know it seems like the
00:26:32.080
technology has already gotten to the point where a traditional bank doesn't make any sense at all
00:26:37.280
i mean think about the fact that you have more than one checking account
00:26:44.560
where you've got one savings account and one checking account wouldn't it make more sense
00:26:51.920
if when you have more when you have money in the bank they pay your interest and when you borrow from
00:26:58.080
them you pay them interest it just seems like there's a way easier way to do banking
00:27:03.680
so anyway um yeah i told you that the claims about biden are just going to get worse and worse
00:27:12.640
here's another one so jake tapper as you know has his book out original sin and his new claim is that uh
00:27:22.960
i think he said this on bill marshall that biden's mental deterioration led to the crisis at the border
00:27:30.240
um and tapper said you're complimenting it by calling it a policy meaning that he didn't really have a border
00:27:38.720
policy um and he said he said that senator bennett from colorado went to an event in 2024 where biden
00:27:49.200
seemed non-functioning he left the event thinking this is why our border policy our immigration policy was
00:27:56.880
such a mess so do you remember thinking as i did so you probably had the same thought what is wrong with
00:28:05.360
biden like why can't he close the border is it really just incompetence and it turns out according to
00:28:16.480
jake tapper and according to senator bennett it was literally incompetence
00:28:22.080
incompetence it was actual incompetence now there were of course lots of people who wanted the border
00:28:29.040
open but biden wasn't one of them biden wasn't an open border guy but they still slipped it past the
00:28:37.520
keeper and got their open border because he wasn't capable enough to stop him i'm not even sure he knew
00:28:44.560
what was going on so that's i think that's the most brutal thing that we've seen uh because it's such a
00:28:52.480
direct claim that that the monstrous problem we had with immigration was literally caused by biden's brain
00:29:01.840
not being functional and by our news people not calling it out and by democrats lying about it
00:29:10.560
so every time you think this is going to go away it just gets worse and this this might go on for a while
00:29:21.920
so uh if you're like me you're watching the democrats try to learn and they're trying to learn
00:29:29.600
what was it we did wrong last time that cost us you know losing everything and it seems like the things
00:29:37.520
they're trying to learn are from two books one the jake tapper book with alex thompson original sin
00:29:45.280
and that basically says that biden was incapable and uh it was known to the insiders and then there's the
00:29:57.520
ezra klein book i forget his co-worker or his co-writer uh called abundance
00:30:04.720
abundance now abundance is basically we got to get rid of all these regulations and obstacles to
00:30:11.840
building anything because we can't build anything in this country because there's too many too much
00:30:17.120
blue tape as jamie diamond would say so in summary if you take these two books together the original sin
00:30:27.040
and the abundance book the thing that the democrats have learned is don't run incapable candidates with
00:30:35.360
terrible policies yes that would really help you don't do terrible policies managed by incapable leaders
00:30:48.720
that's pretty much the whole thing it you know the their backup plan to biden was kamala harris
00:30:57.040
i mean they weren't even trying to have capable people and they didn't even seem to be trying
00:31:05.840
to have policies that would make sense like closing the border and you know i could go on but that's
00:31:15.120
um and then uh alex thompson the uh co-writer with uh jake tapper he was on a uh he was on a podcast
00:31:27.280
where megan mccardle who writes for the washington post um
00:31:35.040
asked how lazy media can avoid running cover for democratic presidents in the future
00:31:42.000
given its bias now that's pretty good question from the washington post so so uh megan mccardle is
00:31:50.720
acknowledging that the mainstream media is left-leaning and she's saying how could we avoid
00:31:59.280
you know running cover for democrat presidents in the future like they did with biden and alex thompson said
00:32:06.560
uh uh uh i wish i had uh good answers um you know maybe like one of the answers is you know
00:32:18.320
you know uh get on dc more and like you know touch the grass
00:32:25.440
so in other words there's nothing that's going to change and the democrats are going to run cover for
00:32:33.360
terrible leaders on the democrat side and it's just going to reproduce so they they'll have more
00:32:41.760
terrible leaders that they'll tell us are excellent until they've left the office and then they'll say
00:32:48.400
uh let me write a book about how bad they really were meanwhile tim waltz um he's got some of the worst
00:32:58.960
advice i like him because he's so pathetic his advice is that democrats should be a little meaner
00:33:10.480
they should be meaner and go scorched earth against trump and he says uh the president is a wannabe dictator
00:33:20.000
now does that ring does that ring true is that what they needed
00:33:25.200
they got two books telling them exactly what they need what they need is good leaders not mentally
00:33:34.720
incapable ones and good policies what does tim waltz say we need to be meaner
00:33:43.680
that's the worst advice i've ever heard we need to be meaner because he's going to be a dictator
00:33:51.360
oh my god they're so lost meanwhile in a new poll um by let's see breitbart was writing about this
00:34:01.840
atlas intel poll um it said that pete budigieg got over 30 percent of democrat voters
00:34:10.880
uh for 2028 presidential election what do you think about that do you think it's his beard
00:34:21.360
as soon as pete budigieg grew a beard his popularity doubled did anything else change
00:34:30.800
i'm not aware of anything else that changed he just grew a beard and i was looking at the beard and
00:34:37.120
i thought well it's not the best beard but it's sort of manly it's sort of jd vance like
00:34:44.320
uh maybe that's all it was maybe he just needed a beard ironically anyway

richer than you think uh joy reed announced that she's launching her own tv show on youtube
00:35:17.200
and uh why is she putting her own show on youtube well in her words people want trusted voices
00:35:28.080
is she a trusted voice joy reed i wonder if she actually thinks that about herself
00:35:35.760
or is that just something she says because it sounds good i don't know
00:35:42.320
anyway uh the ex uh white house spokesperson jen saki um her show on msnbc is tanking in the ratings
00:35:58.080
well so her ratings have plunged according to headline usa to humiliating new lows well i don't
00:36:07.200
know where humiliating is but and uh she's bleeding viewers just one week after moving
00:36:15.600
to the coveted pm slot formerly held by rachel maddow so msnbc is falling apart
00:36:24.720
how many of you saw the video today of cory booker doing exactly the same salute
00:36:35.040
that uh elon musk was accused of doing um as a nazi
00:36:42.160
so i won't do the whole salute but it's where he touches his heart and then he extends his hand
00:36:48.000
and we went through weeks and weeks of well obviously that's a nazi salute and then cory
00:36:55.920
booker does it and uh matt von swall it gave gave us a list on x of all the entities that did not cover
00:37:05.600
it as news now don't you think that'd be news if cory booker did a nazi salute identical to the one
00:37:14.640
that there sure was a nazi salute from elon musk because they're sure it's a nazi salute they're not
00:37:22.720
doubting that at all so here are the entities that did not talk about it new york times cnn
00:37:30.160
washington post msnbc npr usa today reuters axios abc news and every one of those made a pretty big
00:37:39.120
deal about it when it was elon musk i'll tell you if you ever believed that elon musk gave a nazi salute
00:37:49.040
you're an idiot you're just an idiot there's no way that any smart person could believe that
00:37:56.560
that happened in the real world anyway summer vacation time and apparently we're getting fewer
00:38:05.360
the u.s is getting fewer uh tourists from canada uk germany france and the netherlands
00:38:14.320
uh to which i say i wonder if that means that the hotels will be empty
00:38:22.960
or will people just be coming from other places and i also wonder how long that's going to last
00:38:30.480
because that feels like sort of a one year situation doesn't it like like it doesn't feel like
00:38:39.040
canada will now permanently not travel to the united states i think it's just the headlines
00:38:46.240
and as soon as we get some kind of tariff thing worked out it'll be back to where it was
00:38:51.920
well the ceo of ai company anthropic warns that ai could wipe out half of uh white collar jobs entry
00:39:06.480
level white cover jobs in five years post-millennial is talking about this and he says that most of them
00:39:13.760
are unaware this is about to happen but isn't the real question how many jobs ai will create
00:39:22.480
is there really nobody who's creating jobs with ai nowhere you know i i get that programmers are
00:39:32.560
more efficient and blah blah blah blah but it seems to me that if you took an ordinary person who has a
00:39:40.880
certain set of skills and then you gave them ai couldn't they just immediately jump into jobs that they
00:39:50.800
were otherwise not capable of doing there must be something that creates jobs where there were no jobs
00:40:00.960
so i don't know the answer to that but i think that's our our only hope is that it creates more jobs than it
00:40:09.840
takes tulsi gabbard was on fox head of the dni and she said that china has made it very clear that they don't want war
00:40:21.840
um and you know we've made it clear we don't want war now i definitely believe that about china
00:40:30.000
because the only thing that could just totally destroy china would be a war and same with the us
00:40:37.680
the only thing that could sort of totally destroy us would be a war so it'd be the dumbest thing we ever
00:40:42.960
did especially with each other but china doesn't need a war china can just keep growing its economy
00:40:55.520
until it dominates everything which is a way smarter way to take over the world so uh no i don't think
00:41:03.920
china wants war i think they want to be capable of war just in case anybody takes a run at them but
00:41:11.840
no i think that's the last thing they want uh speaking of china according to john hayward breitbart news
00:41:20.560
there's a eu report the finds that china is behind 80 of russia's sanctions avoidance now didn't we
00:41:29.520
already know that didn't you assume that china was the one who was buying um mostly energy i assume from
00:41:39.280
russia and uh so those two are sort of attached at the hip and doesn't that mean that russia is basically
00:41:48.640
china's because if china is buying 80 of their oil uh or probably their gas plus oil does that mean that
00:41:59.600
china essentially controls russia now because the the whole reason we didn't like the uh the russian
00:42:09.440
pipeline that got blown up is that we didn't want uh europe to be dependent on you know mainly one
00:42:17.840
source of of energy but it works the other way too if you're the customer if you're buying 80 of the
00:42:26.080
energy from russia and energy is their main export uh doesn't that really mean china can make them do
00:42:37.760
it seems that way to me so i don't think that uh i don't think that putin's in a good position
00:42:49.440
like he he may be in a good position vis-a-vis ukraine but he's not in a good position in the world
00:42:58.080
because china sort of owns his ass at this point seems like it anyway greta tunberg is on a boat and
00:43:07.520
she's heading to gaza and uh so she's going to join the latest gaza-bound freedom flotilla
00:43:16.640
and they're going to protest israel's actions well that should solve everything
00:43:22.320
um it seems to me that greta has done such a great job in other topics that if she can't end the war in
00:43:34.000
gaza i don't know again so we'll see if she survives that in times of israel's reporting now um meanwhile
00:43:45.520
you will not be surprised to know that the latest push to get a deal with hamas looks like it's not
00:43:59.040
as if it ever could um steve wickoff says hamas's response to a gaza ceasefire proposal is unacceptable
00:44:08.640
and you know there's details but of course you know you don't even need to know the details you
00:44:16.480
just have to know that there really is no way that hamas is going to make a deal because i think the
00:44:24.480
the israelis are offering the fun the following deal uh if you surrender we'll put you in jail forever
00:44:32.320
kill you i don't think the hamas fighters really have a second play it's not like they're gonna
00:44:40.960
you know they're gonna find some new way to you know i don't make a better life they
00:44:48.880
the only way they're going to stay alive is if they keep they keep their uh hostages and they stay
00:44:55.280
underground as soon as they come above ground things are not going to go well for them at all
00:45:01.200
so how could there possibly be a deal well i don't know how there could be
00:45:07.600
so and i don't think they care about getting their own hostages back so that's probably no big deal
00:45:17.600
anyway and then there's some fake news that came out of israel that said the said israel opened fire
00:45:25.680
on some civilian crowds that appears to not be true based on based on video of the event and in other
00:45:35.360
news ukraine is uh ramping it up and apparently they did a major drone hit on multiple russian air bases
00:45:44.880
so they're just taking out the russian planes on the ground
00:45:51.600
now that's not good because if they can reach all of these uh bases at least the bases that
00:45:59.600
would be close enough to threaten ukraine are most of the airplanes just sort of sitting there on the
00:46:07.120
airport tarmac because it looked like they could just destroy them at will if they were willing to go
00:46:14.000
that deep deeply into russia which apparently they are all right so that's all i got for you today
00:46:21.760
um there she is and uh i'm going to say hi to the locals people privately
00:46:34.480
and the rest of you thanks for joining and come back tomorrow same time same place
00:46:40.000
where we'll have some more fun because on sunday especially what else you got to watch it's just me
