ah well there you are it's good to see you happy sunday and uh happy birthday to me i will stipulate
00:00:16.420
as much as i love you back all right let's take care of that
00:00:24.260
we've done all our happy birthdays let me get my comments on
00:00:31.340
it's kind of a non-eventful birthday i would say relatively speaking i mean it's not like there
00:00:41.200
aren't events but you know what i mean so last night was my stepdaughter's wedding uh reception
00:00:52.760
which was just a big party at the house and oh my god that was a lot of action
00:01:00.260
for somebody like me way way too much stimulation but they all had a great time
00:01:09.340
we'll see if i can stay awake there was only about two hours between the end of the party
00:01:18.400
and me waking up to do this so my stepdaughter was still up from the night before when i got up to
00:01:26.400
do the show so that tells you how much fun they had
00:01:30.200
all right good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:01:40.240
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this experience
00:01:46.220
up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:01:53.160
all you need for that is a copper and mug or glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask
00:02:01.460
a vessel of a guy and fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:02:08.440
unparalleled pleasure of the dope meeting at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better
00:02:12.300
it's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen now go
00:02:24.940
i won't say thank you every time but i do appreciate it every time
00:02:32.840
i think you ought to know all right it's uh summer can we call it summer yeah let's call it summer
00:02:42.180
so let's see what kind of stories the uh the news is serving up in the summer now if you don't follow
00:02:53.000
the news you wouldn't know that all the a plus players take the summer off or at least they're
00:03:00.200
going for a big part of the summer so the uh the stories that you get in the middle of the summer
00:03:09.000
uh are less exciting than the ones you would get normally let me give you an example uh in politico
00:03:17.000
there's a headline and a story that goes with it that trump and musk aids have spoken amid pause and
00:03:24.840
hostilities it's not even about musk and trump it's about their aids have spoken don't you think they
00:03:34.280
both have about a thousand people in their circle and and the overlap is probably like 500 people
00:03:40.520
of course their aids have spoken of course they have what kind of story is that it it has nothing to do
00:03:51.320
with musk or trump or any decisions that they've made that's what you call a summer story it looks like
00:04:01.320
a story but it's not really not really all right here's another one according to the hill
00:04:08.680
the atlantic has a seaweed a seaweed blob uh that's gonna break records and it's gonna get even bigger
00:04:19.560
than it is now it's already breaking records so it's a seaweed blob so i think there's something that
00:04:28.040
happens in the summer that happens less the rest of the year which is we get attacked by blobs
00:04:35.560
it's it's not the same blob every time like it could be a hurricane blob it could be a ufo blob could
00:04:44.200
be a meteor setting toward the the planet but there's always some blob that's coming after us
00:04:51.880
and then we worry about it for a while and then we move on to the next blob i guess
00:04:57.480
all right here's another summer story uh a reporter asked trump uh are you worried that russia ukraine
00:05:15.240
what kind of question is that and he says trump says uh uh i don't uh i hope not i hope not
00:05:24.040
so in case you were wondering trump hopes there's not a nuclear war that doesn't have to happen
00:05:34.840
so that's your summer news in case you were wondering you might have been wondering i wonder
00:05:41.160
what trump thinks of nuclear war well now you have your summer news answer he's opposed to it
00:05:48.440
it doesn't like nuclear war surprise all right in other news there's something called an ice battery
00:06:02.360
which would power a bunch of homes according to interesting engineering now when i say an ice battery
00:06:12.280
it does not hold electricity it literally just makes ice and then that ice uh so it makes the ice at night
00:06:21.160
when the electricity is cheap and then it uses the ice during the day to uh cool your cool your home
00:06:29.320
if you have ac so it's the sort of idea where i said to myself we didn't have that before
00:06:35.880
no nobody until now nobody thought about using cheap electricity to make blobs of ice that would cool the
00:06:47.720
building yeah it's weird all right well it's we have it now all right abc has a story um that i call orphan
00:07:00.600
persuasion i want you to see if this is a real news story or it's obviously propaganda against trump all
00:07:10.280
right real or propaganda all right so the story is uh according to abc news the trump administration's
00:07:20.760
cuts to foreign aid have resulted in children in ugandan orphanages losing access to medication
00:07:30.440
according to local workers now is that a real story well it might be real but what's left out
00:07:42.360
do we have some kind of special uh obligation to ugandan orphans because it seems to me if you looked all
00:07:51.880
over the world you would find suffering people that were doing even worse than the ugandan orphans
00:08:00.120
do we owe all of them medication you know you can't even you cannot evaluate whether this is a horrible
00:08:09.720
thing or a good thing unless you know the context is it uh did they cut one percent from their total uh
00:08:20.440
charity budget i don't know all all i know from abc is these poor ugandan orphans are not going to get
00:08:29.560
through medications now that ladies and gentlemen is pure propaganda because did they really need to
00:08:39.640
find an orphanage they couldn't find people who were just sort of suffering because the aid had been cut
00:08:48.920
they have to find a you get an orphanage now i feel sorry for the orphanage if they lost something that
00:08:55.720
they need but we kind of need to know is the us supposed to pay for everybody's medication everywhere
00:09:06.840
at what point could we draw the line and say it's a cruel tough world but we can't buy everybody's
00:09:14.120
medication yeah i don't know well trump has warned musk allegedly that there will be serious consequences
00:09:25.480
if he funds democratic candidates according to just the news now that's something that musk has
00:09:34.680
threatened i think at the moment that's probably off although he might target some specific people for
00:09:43.240
specific things i suppose that's possible but at the moment it's off
00:09:51.480

details please play responsibly all right um you want to have some fun i'm gonna i'm gonna give you a
00:11:00.600
question that you can use at your next family or barbecue get together it's going to be the most
00:11:08.280
provocative messed up question but it will sound completely innocent all right the question would
00:11:17.000
be this hypothetically could elon musk and his tech bros rig an american election for their own benefit as
00:11:27.320
oligarchs and not be and not be caught just think about that question imagine asking that question of
00:11:37.320
your most democrat friend who hates elon musk and you say do you think he and his tech geniuses
00:11:45.720
could uh throw an election because if they say no then shut up if he doesn't have any impact on
00:11:58.120
elections you know maybe you should just leave him alone but if he does and i think most people would
00:12:06.280
fall into the trap and they'd say oh yeah elon musk he could use his satellites and his neural link and
00:12:13.320
his boring company and they'd come up with something and say uh yes you know the doge people could
00:12:20.520
you know play with the voting records so if you can get them to admit that elon musk and his tech bro
00:12:30.760
helpers hypothetically could rig an election then how do you know 2020 was good
00:12:38.760
that's where the fun starts and then people will say but but no court has found any problems to which
00:12:48.360
i'd say but you think that elon musk could rig an election without leaving space so there wouldn't
00:12:55.800
be any court finding in that case either but but but that's where the cognitive dissonance will kick in
00:13:04.280
if you can get that far uh they will change the subject tell you they have to use the restroom
00:13:11.400
or have some kind of weird cognitive dissonance because once they've admitted that somebody could
00:13:19.320
rig an election if they had the right kind of technical know-how and money it kind of opens the door
00:13:25.560
that there's more than one person who can do it like the cia for example well according to blaze media
00:13:41.080
does oh well there's another question related to musk and rigging an election i i saw some people say that
00:13:49.080
musk was rigging the 2024 election by adding a lot of money and mostly money right oh but also he has
00:14:03.560
control over x we don't know if he made any changes on x but in theory his enemies believe he could have
00:14:13.080
so here's my question if you believe that somebody's money could change an election and effectively rig it
00:14:25.320
what about somebody who doesn't borrow a lot of money but is really good with messaging for example
00:14:35.240
the difference between a clown genius and the golden age and common sense
00:14:41.800
those are really strong campaign messages and then you look at bernie oh the oligarchs oh
00:14:51.480
the oligarchs and you don't even know what he's talking about so is it fair that bernie and his
00:14:59.480
messengers are all just idiots oh the oligarch gotta watch out for the oligarch but the republicans have
00:15:09.000
somewhat brilliant messaging help mostly trump trump trump's the number one messenger and you know
00:15:17.400
nobody's ever been better but trump also has really capable message people who weigh in whenever there's
00:15:27.400
something that's a little bit in a whack and i'm one of them so you know i don't control anything
00:15:35.400
but if you came out with a new message and i said oh that's not persuasive wouldn't you feel a little
00:15:43.720
bit of pressure to maybe you know fix that probably would so is that is that rigging an election am i rigging
00:15:55.160
it because i'm better with words and with persuasion it feels like i am you know in the same way that
00:16:03.720
somebody putting a lot of money into it would be rigging it i would definitely be ranking it by better
00:16:10.520
messaging anyway blaze media is pointing out that there's some recent polls that show president
00:16:22.120
trump's approval is among the best that's ever been so rasmussen and insider advantage and trafalgar group
00:16:32.600
are all showing that his numbers are looking really really good
00:16:37.640
now who knows what polls are accurate and which ones are rigged and blah blah blah
00:16:44.440
but uh those are three polls um i only know a little bit about one of them so i don't think they made up any numbers
00:16:57.800
here's a little uh tip for you because i used to work in data collection and data analysis when i had my
00:17:05.400
corporate job if you can boil down uh whatever your complicated situation is into one number
00:17:16.200
that's kind of a miracle but it also could activate people because if you have a complicated story about
00:17:24.680
well this is up and this is down and this might go sideways but when you put it all together you should
00:17:31.080
do whatever it is i'm asking you to do that's not going to work because they're tuning numbers and
00:17:37.320
it's complicated and there's variables so if you want to persuade somebody if possible you want to
00:17:46.120
you want to take the message down to you know one number as long as that number is a you know wisely
00:17:52.600
chosen one i'll give you an example the one number that i care about with all these spending packages
00:18:00.520
and by the way the latest spending package according to steven miller is not a spending package
00:18:14.520
it's so ridiculous that we're having this conversation because the public
00:18:20.520
says if your package is spending money you're a spending package and yeah we don't care if you
00:18:29.160
if you use that different words within congress oh it's a recession so this or that great you can use
00:18:37.160
your different words internally but if you're spending my money and there's a bill involved it's a spending
00:18:45.160
bill sorry i'm not going to back off from that you know you're gonna have to meet me halfway it's a spending
00:18:54.280
bill all right all right but if you have a spending bill in the context of a big deficit that might kill
00:19:02.120
us all what's the one number that if you could produce it you would understand exactly what you're
00:19:10.680
getting from the bill you know beyond the details of of what's in there but in terms of the spending
00:19:17.560
the one number you need is how much does it add to or subtract from the debt and i'm going to say over
00:19:26.600
three years because the cbo and the government they like to do the 10-year thing the 10-year thing is pure
00:19:34.520
bullshit no nobody can predict anything over 10 years three is a stretch it's like a big stretch
00:19:44.120
but at least it's you know in the realm of something that makes sense so i want to see one number i want
00:19:51.240
to see how much does this latest spending package add to the deficit or subtract now you might say to
00:20:00.120
yourself well scott that's not very hard obviously the cbo or whoever else has has scored it
00:20:10.680
so you know it's not like nobody's looking into it so somebody has that number right and our press
00:20:20.120
would be reporting on that number now would you agree with the fact that you generally understand that
00:20:27.560
it has a lot of mega trump things in it that you like and that part you don't have to argue about too
00:20:34.760
much if you're a trump supporter but don't you want to know the impact on the deficit you kind of you
00:20:43.000
kind of need to know that don't you so let me give you a little uh taste of why you don't know that
00:20:51.080
and i don't either by the way i have no idea so it'll
00:21:05.560
all right let me get back to that because i've got a got a piece that fits into it perfectly so you're
00:21:11.320
looking for the one number um and russ vote according to the hill now russ is uh he's a budget guy right
00:21:25.000
i don't know his official job but everybody has a high opinion of russ vote and his you know budget work
00:21:33.480
but uh here's what he said well here's what the hill said so this is your press trying to inform you
00:21:42.600
whether the bill is adding to or subtracting from the deficit and i swear i'm not making this up
00:21:51.080
i'm going to read the exact words because otherwise you think you just made that up
00:21:57.000
there's no way that's true um but here's what it says according to the hill president trump's tariffs
00:22:06.120
will take a major bite and of u.s deficit levels oh okay well that's pretty good and russ vote also
00:22:14.680
said the same thing so so i'm like okay russ said it would reduce the deficit we don't know how much yet
00:22:21.480
um and the hill says it will reduce the deficit um so far so good is there a number yes 2.5
00:22:31.000
trillion dollars over the next decade now i'd like to see that over three years um
00:22:39.560
because it's you know less crazy but we're really close we're really close
00:22:46.920
now having read that what russ vote said and what the hill said i'm going to read you the next paragraph
00:22:57.640
that's also in the hill and the same story you ready for this um and this is from the cbo
00:23:06.600
the deficit reduction is almost remember 2.25 trillion dollars deficit reduction it says the
00:23:14.360
deficit the deficit the deficit reduction is almost exactly the same size as the deficit addition wait
00:23:23.000
what what there's a deficit reduction but there's also a deficit addition who in the world doesn't net
00:23:35.960
those two things out and just tell you what the bottom line is so if you didn't read that far
00:23:42.680
you would not know that the cbo found that the bill would add 2.4 trillion dollars to deficits
00:23:51.080
through 2034 so does it add to the deficit or does it subtract and how many of you knew
00:24:03.800
that when you're talking about the deficit there are additions to it and there are subtractions from
00:24:09.720
it and they track them separately how many of you knew that i didn't know it
00:24:19.720
this is the most absurd thing it's absolutely crazy anyway
00:24:29.000
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package
00:24:32.440
learn more at scotia bank dot com slash banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer
00:24:39.960
than you think uh russ votes also thinks the tariffs will take a big bite out of the deficit
00:24:48.280
but that's what i think that uh was calculated in those numbers i gave you
00:24:53.080
so i was asking myself as i was playing with grok this morning what is it about the united states
00:25:03.160
that can ever increase our revenue enough that we can take a bite out of the deficit
00:25:09.640
and i thought i started with okay insurance you know what if the government became the
00:25:15.960
you know the insurer of everybody instead of taxes but then you look at the total amount that the
00:25:24.440
country spends on insurance it's a big number but it's not deficit big so you think oh that's not
00:25:32.920
really big enough even even if the government took a slice of that business not really big enough to make
00:25:38.440
a difference the only thing i know of that's big enough is the energy market so the energy
00:25:45.720
market in the u.s uh according to grok is about uh over 1.55 trillion per year and that would include
00:25:57.240
electricity oil natural gas renewables etc now i don't have an idea of how to use the fact that that's a
00:26:07.800
gigantic market to reduce our deficit but there's only one thing that's gigantic besides the deficit
00:26:16.680
and you're not going to be able to take care of the deficit with something small
00:26:23.160
you're going to need something gigantic so i feel like there's some kind of
00:26:29.560
pressure in the world mounting that the energy market if we can somehow really
00:26:37.720
get a hold of that maybe sell it to other countries who want to run their own ai
00:26:42.040
that if we uh if we got some kind of government i don't know partnership we might be able to make
00:26:51.320
just you know a ton of money and maybe take intent but uh anything short of the energy market
00:26:58.680
they're just not really big enough you know you could look at cutting things you know like social
00:27:07.080
services but nobody's going to say yes to that so if you were going to try some you know clever
00:27:13.720
workaround that wasn't about cutting uh the energy market's the only one now i wouldn't just tax it
00:27:23.560
because that would be you know bad for business but i'll bet there is some way to monetize it
00:27:30.440
either the nuclear stuff or geothermal or um something so that we're you know don't you think we could prop up
00:27:41.240
a government slash private industry that made 100 billion a year in in uh energy profits probably
00:27:52.600
again that wouldn't be nearly enough but maybe you could grow from there well the proud boys have a lawsuit
00:28:01.720
um related to their uh arrest on january 6 the capital what is called the capital riot by some people
00:28:11.240
uh and uh they're claiming a wrongful prosecution and that's the sparking debates of course about uh
00:28:21.240
the fact that they got pardon um i'll bet they have a case
00:28:27.320
without knowing anything about their case i'll bet they do because the proud boys are not idiots
00:28:35.480
so they're not just gonna start some lawsuit that's ridiculous i've got a feeling the proud boys might
00:28:42.520
have the last laugh here so we'll see rahm emmanuel democrat um i was looking at his messaging skills
00:28:54.040
all right so here's an example um he was talking to uh white house bureau chief dash of burns and uh
00:29:04.760
you know i think he was asked what should democrats do differently you know what what they're all being asked
00:29:11.560
and he said democrats should quote stop talking about bathrooms and locker rooms and start talking about the classroom
00:29:22.440
all right is that good do you think that's good persuasion
00:29:27.000
no it's not good persuasion it's just sort of a rhymey kind of catchy thing it's not going to make
00:29:37.720
you act in any specific different way um and this is what i see uh you know cory booker and you know a lot of
00:29:47.000
the democrats do um you could probably come up with like 10 different democrats who come up with rhymes
00:29:54.680
so they're thinking all right we're getting our ass kicked on this policy stuff what should we do
00:30:08.520
or have we tried being clever with words oh no we don't need the bathrooms or the locker rooms
00:30:16.120
we need to talk about the classrooms we need to talk about the classrooms that is so weak and empty
00:30:24.280
that you can't imagine trump ever saying it can you have you ever heard trump say something as
00:30:31.480
lame as bathrooms and locker rooms but we should be talking about classrooms he's never said anything
00:30:39.880
that lame in his entire life so what trump knows is that what makes these things you know powerful is
00:30:47.800
messaging is if he's provocative so where ram is going for a clever word play like an llm you know ai
00:31:00.680
trump goes for the jugular he doesn't do the he doesn't do the word play he tells you if you don't do this
00:31:10.040
criminals will come across the border and slay your family
00:31:15.560
which one of those are you going to remember oh gotta talk don't talk about the bathrooms and
00:31:22.120
locker rooms talk about the classroom versus uh trendy iragua is going to come across the border and slay your
00:31:30.360
entire family there's no there's no comparison the democrats don't have the slightest grasp
00:31:38.520
of persuasion it's like they've never been introduced to it as a skill whereas trump is you know the best of
00:31:47.960
all time anyway rhyming with own policy ideas it's not going to work and then lastly you're wondering is
00:31:56.920
rahm emmanuel somebody who could run for office and win well i mix feelings number one he's smart enough
00:32:08.920
uh to alter his approach i don't know if he would alter it the way i think he should but he's definitely
00:32:18.200
smart enough to say did that work did that not work change his approach he's he's very smart and he's
00:32:24.680
experienced but unfortunately he has crime boss eyes and i don't know that he can fix that
00:32:33.560
now i'm not saying he's a crime boss i'm saying his eyes look like he just murdered somebody
00:32:40.840
and how are you gonna how are you gonna ignore that you can't really ignore that
00:32:46.280
so the way i always think of it is if you were a director and you were you were casting for your
00:32:54.840
movie and you needed a crime boss would rama manuel look like a crime boss who would be good in your
00:33:02.840
movie yeah he would be and that's not true of everybody right adam schiff would not look like
00:33:12.120
he could be a crime boss you know swalwell not really schumer no not really it's it's kind of unique
00:33:21.240
to uh ram emmanuel that his eyes just say i just killed somebody and i could kill you next so no i don't
00:33:31.720
know how he gets past that well it's my favorite season and by that i mean fake protest season
00:33:40.920
so has it been every year that these uh ngos and fake organizations and soros funds and you know
00:33:51.240
various uh democrat rich guys fund it it's every summer right and they put their muscle on the street
00:33:58.760
and it's you know some of them are antifa or you know antifa connected some of them are communists
00:34:05.160
literally communists uh but they might have names that don't sound too communist and so here are the
00:34:13.400
things you can kind of expect number one if you're a republican and you want to get a jump on things i
00:34:22.760
would start referring to the democrat uh protests as chaos because that's a word that they they think
00:34:31.880
works it doesn't make much difference really but i would steal it because they're going to use it as
00:34:39.560
something that you know maybe the trump administration doesn't know how to respond they've got chaos so i
00:34:47.000
would say it looks like the democrats and the ngos and the protests are designed to bring chaos because
00:34:57.000
they are they're designed to bring chaos um claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been
00:35:04.200
visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind
00:35:09.800
her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of
00:35:16.280
auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in
00:35:21.160
a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on
00:35:27.400
time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply so here's the things here are the
00:35:37.160
things which i think you're gonna um find out about during the protests so the protests will probably
00:35:45.560
last a while they're mostly against uh i think all against the ice roundups so they're opposed to
00:35:54.440
rounding people up ice and sending the back um but here are the things i expect you will see number one
00:36:04.440
you'll start seeing evidence dribbling out about which entities are involved and you'll say to yourself
00:36:12.040
oh wow that's very artificial now it starts out people look at the news and see people running around
00:36:21.160
they say wow there's a pretty big movement against these deportations but
00:36:31.400
is there really is there a big movement against deportations probably not it's probably people who are
00:36:39.160
paid to protest and then some of them get in control some of them are true believers but you're not
00:36:46.440
seeing anything that would tell you the you know the sizing of the protest it's probably minuscule
00:36:53.560
honestly or let's put it another way if if they were not being paid how many of the protesters would
00:37:01.960
depict this issue the ice stuff as the thing that they think most needs to get fixed don't you think
00:37:10.120
they'd be doing something with climate change or you know uh income distribution or uh stopping war
00:37:22.680
yeah the the fact that they've randomly not randomly uh because it's all fake protests
00:37:31.080
the fact that they've latched on this one issue is pretty much all the evidence you need is fake and
00:37:38.040
it's paid for and you're not seeing anything like a natural response
00:37:43.800
so i think you'll see stuff dribbling about that i think you'll see stories about somebody staging bricks
00:37:52.120
near the events have we seen that yet it's just so obvious so there'll always be a story about
00:37:59.000
why was there a pile of bricks in this place where they knew there would be protesters so that's
00:38:05.640
probably coming we know that antifa will be implicated we know that communists will be implicated
00:38:12.600
we know that there will be lots of printed signs that are sort of a dead giveaway that they have funding
00:38:18.760
an organization and of course they'll be trying to unmask the ice agents so it's sort of a summer fake
00:38:28.920
protest season in which you can kind of you know in advance pretty much everything that's going to happen
00:38:38.760
so it's coming um according to the uh post-millennial
00:38:45.800
senator uh chris van holland he's the one who went down to try to free that maryland dad
00:38:53.640
um but uh so he's the one who traveled to el salvador to do that but now he says the trump
00:39:01.320
administration needs to apologize to garcia for deporting him now if he didn't know garcia has
00:39:09.000
been returned uh but he's probably not happy about it because he's returning because there's a very long
00:39:16.840
list of charges against him which will probably put him in jail forever so did he win did the lawyers
00:39:26.280
you know score a victory did the people who wanted more process then did they get what they wanted
00:39:35.160
so here's what i think i think that every time a democrat asked republicans or the trump administration
00:39:42.760
to apologize to apologize to anyone for anything i think they should do it
00:39:50.680
but it should be hilarious it should all be wife apologies you know the kind where the husband
00:39:58.120
does the apology but if you were listening to it you would know for sure that it was insincere
00:40:04.200
i don't think anything could be funnier than republicans agreeing to always apologize
00:40:12.920
yes i apologize for letting them in the country as long as we did
00:40:19.000
all right i think there's uh probably always a funny solution to all this uh meanwhile according to the
00:40:26.200
defense post the the us is unveiling a new project will they give you
00:40:32.520
a 20 million prize for developing the best fast track drone innovations so next generation of drones so
00:40:46.360
does that tell you that um anybody in their garage can make a drone
00:40:53.720
i'm kind of wondering have we reached a point where the hardware
00:40:58.440
pretty much does everything you want it to do but the only thing that's different is the software
00:41:06.120
because then if it's the software then it would allow lots of people to compete for the you know
00:41:13.320
the better drone because the software would be easy but if they had to invent i don't know a more
00:41:19.800
efficient motor or something there'd be a lot less uh a lot fewer people doing that although probably by
00:41:28.120
now there are 20 probably 20 different companies who are trying to make more efficient drone engines i'll bet
00:41:36.680
you um meanwhile over in ukraine the ukrainians have uh invented this is also according to the defense
00:41:46.360
defense post a anti-drone pistol so if it's the kind of drone that can be jammed which would not
00:41:56.360
include the ones that are tethered by optical cable which are the main ones being used right now
00:42:01.800
but uh you could just point your little anti-drone weapon at it and it would give you uh 50 watts
00:42:10.200
and uh take out that drone i don't know if i would depend on the anti-drone pistol
00:42:18.600
i've got a feeling that's not going to be nearly as effective as they hope i don't know according to the bbc
00:42:26.280
uh the pandemic generation of kids uh they're damaged permanently or could be could be permanently
00:42:38.520
but here's what uh here's what one teacher said now this is not based on a study this is based on one
00:42:46.120
teacher's observations um rebecca underwood she said there is something different about class of 2023
00:42:56.280
um for the kids between um five and six years old they're physically more cautious and uh then this
00:43:07.560
this quote caught my eye quote many kids are not able to roll not able to jump on two feet
00:43:16.440
they're very hesitant to climb and i thought to myself
00:43:21.080
really we have we have six year olds who cannot be taught to jump on both feet
00:43:32.280
really that's a way worse than i imagine it would be but i don't believe it yeah i think if you did a
00:43:40.520
bigger study uh this is just anecdotal so i think she might have some weird kids in her class
00:43:47.800
all right ladies and gentlemen that's all i have for today so sunday it's time for you all to
00:43:59.160
go do your sunday things i'm going to say hi to the uh people on locals privately but the rest of you
00:44:06.360
i'll see you tomorrow same time same place i hope you like that the shows are a little bit shorter
00:44:12.600
i'd hate for you to be hating that but sometimes there's just not that much to say
