00:00:00.000
stock market is kind of flat so we don't have to worry about that yet let's uh get our comments
00:00:09.440
working and then we'll have a show get rid of that there we go
00:00:30.000
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:40.000
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance
00:00:47.200
on improving your attitude to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human
00:00:55.300
brains well all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass a tanker chelzer stein a canteen jug or
00:01:04.480
flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquids i like coffee and join me now
00:01:11.900
for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better
00:01:18.260
it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now
00:01:46.220
the simultaneous sip because you don't want to feel like you've been manipulated
00:01:52.100
well you also missed the thrill of being connected to thousands of people around the world at the
00:02:02.500
same time so you know i guess you can pick your fate all right so allegedly in science according to
00:02:13.940
wonderful engineering uh scientists have created light from empty space by manipulating time and space
00:02:25.620
or the other possibility is that it is total and nobody created any light whatsoever
00:02:32.820
i look at a story like that and i just think really really did they make light out of time and space
00:02:43.620
did that really happen i don't know it might have but uh i'm gonna say you're gonna need a little bit
00:02:52.500
more evidence before i say yes to that meanwhile in something way more fun there's a company called
00:03:02.180
kuda jet that makes an underwater jet pack it looks like it's obviously electric and you strap it to your back
00:03:11.540
and you can just go like hell on you know underwater and at the surface and i said to myself
00:03:21.460
this looks really fun it looks really really fun so i could easily imagine myself uh seeing lots of
00:03:31.220
people doing that i was gonna say me doing it but you know it's not like i'm gonna scuba either
00:03:38.900
so i don't think i'll be doing that but it looks like fun it can uh last 90 minutes which is probably
00:03:48.100
the hard part having the battery last long enough and it can recharge in 75 minutes and you can feel like
00:03:55.780
you're you're aquaman and superman at the same time well in uh important new york post news uh allegedly
00:04:08.660
the average penis size has increased and ozempic could be to blame
00:04:17.060
so anecdotally but not scientifically yet anecdotally people are reporting that their penises
00:04:25.860
are larger uh when they're on ozempic losing weight now may i uh may i address the npcs directly
00:04:38.660
npcs what you should say is the most obvious thing what's the most obvious thing
00:04:48.580
you would say oh it's not any bigger it's just that you can see it now
00:04:53.940
that's the most obvious thing you could say so if you were if you were already typing that
00:05:02.420
sorry you're an npc you're not programmed for creativity you're programmed for the most obvious
00:05:10.020
things so sorry about that uh when i see a story like this i have to wonder do you think the uh pr
00:05:20.660
department at the ozempic could possibly be behind this story now not that they you know made up the
00:05:28.660
story on nothing it could be that uh you know there were reports actual reports but they were anecdotal
00:05:38.020
so it didn't really mean anything but if you were the pr department and you had this potential story
00:05:45.300
do you think you would call up the new york post and say how would you like an exclusive story about
00:05:55.940
now if the pr department at ozempic did not do that i think they all need to be fired because
00:06:07.060
i can't think of a way to sell more ozempic than that
00:06:10.580
i mean the weight loss is good but it doesn't really come close to the other thing meanwhile
00:06:17.140
apple uh has got a big event today and uh the general feeling is that we're all going to be
00:06:24.740
disappointed and that uh whatever they say about ai for example is going to be underwhelming my
00:06:34.500
understanding is i didn't see it personally but my understanding is that apple has recently made some
00:06:41.380
negative comments about ai in general just ai in general which would suggest
00:06:49.300
that they don't think it's either good enough or ready enough to be in their products now my guess is
00:06:57.780
that they tried really really hard to build ai into their products you know as prototypes just to
00:07:05.780
see what they could do and that they couldn't get past the uh hallucinations if you can't get past the
00:07:13.060
hallucinations and you can't make it go get you information there's not much you can do except
00:07:20.260
it's really good to understand uh i'll tell you my my apple phone uh the fact that it understands
00:07:29.460
me when i talk to it which it did not a year ago is a really big deal i mean because i do talk to it a
00:07:37.140
lot but just setting alarms and stuff anyway so we'll see if apple excites us or disappoints us
00:07:47.780
here is the least surprising story of all time uh apparently there's new information that came out
00:07:58.500
that the cia was behind starting the stories that area 51 had some ufos because it turns out they were
00:08:08.500
just trying to have a cover story for the fact that there were some advanced aircraft that they were
00:08:15.220
working on and they didn't want people to think it was our stuff now
00:08:31.140
because i remember i was reading the story and i said to myself doesn't everybody know that
00:08:38.580
but then i realized that i didn't know that i just assumed
00:08:42.100
because i start with the assumption there are no ufos and then i progressed to why would we think
00:08:50.900
there are ufos and who would ever have a you know any kind of benefit by saying there are ufos
00:08:59.220
and then i think oh well there there are other documents we've seen from the 80s maybe where the cia did
00:09:08.900
uh consciously say let's start a ufo story to hide some things we're doing now that was unrelated to
00:09:19.700
this but if it's a known strategy um it makes you wonder about all those drones we were worrying about
00:09:28.900
six months ago how long ago were we worrying about all the activity and then people started saying it's
00:09:37.300
this ufos this ufos you show me a uh claim of a ufo and i will automatically think that the cia might be behind
00:09:48.900
it even if they're not i mean it's just automatically where i go but here's a question i ask um first of all
00:09:58.820
is it really possible to know for sure that this is true because it's the cia so what if
00:10:09.540
the ufos are real but the cia is covering up for the real ufos by claiming that they're american aircraft
00:10:19.940
uh so you can't be so sure you don't know what's true um but i do wonder is there anybody who has
00:10:30.740
dedicated their adult life to learning about and pursuing the area 51 ufos who when they read
00:10:39.940
something like this and they see it was just all a big cia plot do they say to themselves oh wow i wasted
00:10:48.500
my adult life worrying about this thing that was totally made up and the answer is probably no one
00:10:58.980
because if you believed it was true before you're going to do what i did just a minute ago and you're
00:11:04.980
going to find a reason why it's still true despite all evidence to the contrary you'll say nope that's
00:11:12.420
exactly how they cover these things up that's what you'll say claudia was leaving for her pickleball
00:11:18.900
tournament i've been visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't
00:11:24.260
see the column behind her car on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the
00:11:30.740
largest network of auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and
00:11:35.700
she was on her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round
00:11:41.540
but you got there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply well apparently
00:11:49.220
there's this uh news person abc news person called terry moran uh not moron but moran and uh
00:11:59.540
uh he got i guess he got put on suspension because he got caught with some hate-filled rant about trump
00:12:09.700
uh no not about trump about stephen miller so here's what he said about stephen miller this is in an
00:12:16.980
article in the post millennial by victor davis antlin and moran moran wrote on uh on a post on x oh on
00:12:28.660
sunday he said quote the thing about stephen miller miller is not that these brains behind trumpism
00:12:36.260
yes he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the trumpist movement which is a
00:12:42.980
really good sentence by the way uh and translates them into policy that's a really good sentence um
00:12:49.780
but that's not what's interesting about miller so here comes the uh the bad part he says it's not
00:12:56.900
brains it's bile miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred he's a world
00:13:04.660
class hater you can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his
00:13:11.460
spiritual nourishment he eats his hate now imagine being abc news executives at one of your news people
00:13:22.820
people just imagine that he can look within the soul of a uh you know one of the key people in the
00:13:30.180
administration and they can look deep into his soul which is a capability we don't have by the way uh and
00:13:38.580
that he can see all this bile and the hatreds that are uh that are his spiritual nourishment he eats his hate
00:13:49.300
oh where does that even come from now i do understand that if you've been watching steven miller for a
00:13:58.740
while he's always the most hardcore on uh immigration but that has a reason it's not like he's doing it for
00:14:09.060
fun and it's also not exactly uh something that's you know gonna nourish you you know if you're the one
00:14:18.980
who takes the least popular opinion or at least the one you know is gonna get you the most heat
00:14:27.540
i don't know but that seems like somebody who's uh stepping into the breach and doing the thing that
00:14:34.980
you and i wish would get done which is control of the border but we don't want to take the heat
00:14:41.780
for being the lead person on that but he takes the heat um i will say that he has one of these uh tv
00:14:50.900
personas that suggests you know if you're gonna cast him in a movie the same thing i said about rahm
00:14:58.820
emmanuel if you were gonna cast a movie with a let's say a um an evil super genius like lex luther
00:15:12.020
you can kind of see steven miller right you know even if we like him even if you like what he's doing
00:15:19.140
which i do um you can kind of see it right and unfortunately uh we're such a visual creatures
00:15:31.140
that if he looks one way uh but he talks another way you're you're mostly gonna be influenced by how he
00:15:39.300
looks i have that same question about cory booker when cory booker talks his eyes get so big that
00:15:49.460
they're a comical and he looks like i don't want to say he looks like an idiot but his eyes are too big
00:15:57.860
he just opens them too far and it it doesn't look like he's telling you the truth now i don't know if
00:16:07.220
he is sometimes he probably does but he's a politician so sometimes maybe not but how in the world did he
00:16:16.740
ever get elected with that face have you ever looked at anybody from let's say another state
00:16:24.180
where you know you weren't directly involved and you see the representative and you say how did that
00:16:30.580
representative get elected really with that look there's just some looks that you you think would
00:16:39.220
be hard to win an election anyway the san francisco police department arrested 60 people yesterday
00:16:49.060
amid a violent protest this is according to just the news and uh dozens of police officers responded and
00:16:57.940
it was this was also about the ice and deportation stuff so the the big protests and the riots are
00:17:05.460
happening in la and san francisco and new york that i know of uh are about reducing the power of ice to deport
00:17:17.860
people now how many of you think that's organic that the people were sitting at home and they thought to
00:17:27.300
themselves you know what of all the problems i have the one i really need to spend some time on
00:17:34.820
and the one that's the most dangerous because you know you end up in jail get a criminal record
00:17:40.660
is uh this issue of border control i want less border control i don't think anybody had that thought
00:17:50.500
this thing is so obviously artificial that it's you know sort of funny well when was it that uh
00:17:59.060
uh do you remember the first time i told you that this summer there would be protests
00:18:05.540
and i didn't know what the protests would be but if it's summer there will be protests and
00:18:12.660
uh so anyway san francisco was the smaller part of it the bigger part of it was in la
00:18:19.780
okay according to breitbart news uh there will be some more specially trained border patrol uh agents
00:18:29.540
deployed to los angeles to which my curiosity says to me specially trained you say specially trained to do
00:18:40.340
what to reduce tensions and riots or what so randy clark and breitbart news is writing about that
00:18:50.740
so we don't know what that's all about but uh trump has ordered 2000 national guard men
00:18:57.060
to respond and he said that the uh i think i think trump said that they'll be everywhere and
00:19:05.780
they'll take care of it um according to a cbs news poll
00:19:11.620
poll 54 percent of those uh surveyed support president trump's uh program for deportation
00:19:24.660
so not just the border security but 54 percent approve of his deportation program
00:19:32.740
um 42 percent to think uh the program has made america safer while 30 percent said it has made the
00:19:42.580
country less safe how in the world is the country as a whole less safe because we deported 10 000 criminals
00:19:54.500
what is even the point of having surveys if the answers that come back are so obviously stupid or
00:20:03.620
biased or political that they're just meaningless there's nobody who thinks the country
00:20:11.460
is is in more danger because the criminals were deported now i guess that you know there's there's the
00:20:18.660
risk during the uh ice raid that someone might get hurt i get that but even if you include all of that
00:20:29.140
getting rid of 10 000 i'm just picking a number but getting rid of 10 000 known repeat criminals
00:20:36.580
that's definitely going to make you safer getting rid of a known south american gang yeah that's uh that's
00:20:46.020
gonna make you safer yeah so everybody who had the wrong answer when i found out my friend got a
00:20:53.460
great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners
00:21:00.420
like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold
00:21:06.340
earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that
00:21:12.340
dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning
00:21:19.780
winners find fabulous for less all right so what is the most important thing to know about the la riots
00:21:30.500
well other people will cover things like how many people were injured and you know what's the cost of
00:21:37.380
it all and how many how many law enforcement people have been surged and did they do a good good job but uh
00:21:51.060
because somehow this is a sort of artificial event that's designed to create a lot of uh democrat friendly
00:22:00.500
wordplay so the first part is are they riots or protests well if you're the mainstream media you get to
00:22:09.300
call them protests if uh if they were talking about somebody they didn't like would they call it a protest
00:22:18.020
or would they call it a riot i don't know if they've uh has the mainstream
00:22:23.860
yet turned it into riot or are they still sticking with protests so that's the first wordplay thing to
00:22:31.700
watch out for to see if they treat it like it's a protest the other thing that um i don't know if
00:22:39.940
anybody else picked up on this but suppose you were somebody who planned let's say you were soros or
00:22:47.700
something and you plan to fund uh big riots in sam in la and san francisco so let's say your your idea
00:22:59.300
was that if you fund these riots you'll get some kind of benefit you know could be any kind of benefit
00:23:05.860
but you've decided to fund them what would you know would be the natural outcome to karen bass
00:23:14.660
the mayor of la and governor newsom is there any reasonable way that when this is done people are
00:23:25.780
going to say wow you two did a great job actually none because it's it's simply going to look like
00:23:35.460
they're in charge when uh you can't get to where you want to get because the you know the roads are
00:23:41.860
closed and you're going to see endless loops of whatever violence the cameras can pick up i don't
00:23:49.060
know how what it is as a percentage of activity but uh doesn't it seem to you that maybe
00:23:58.420
maybe whoever's in charge of funding this is trying to take karen bass and newsom off the
00:24:04.740
the the off the table at the same time in an unrelated story or or is it unrelated is this story related or
00:24:17.380
unrelated separately there's a story that kamala harris has remained unusually silent during the
00:24:25.700
uh during the protests now if you wanted kamala harris to either run for president or governor of
00:24:35.860
california and you didn't care too much about karen bass either because she wasn't helping you
00:24:44.500
it would be kind of clever to fund a bunch of riots that make newsom and bass look like they're completely
00:24:51.220
you know unable to run anything you know unable to run anything while having kamala harris just go quiet
00:24:57.540
don't say anything about anything and then she'll be fresh and unspoiled whenever the uh whenever the
00:25:06.260
dust settles so that's just my speculation there's no evidence that um so 2000 national guard
00:25:17.060
does it seem to you that this is another one of those 80 20 questions where uh trump is very solidly on
00:25:29.300
the 80. what is the last time you met anybody in the real world who thought it was a bad idea to send
00:25:37.300
them to the national guard to have a little bit more force than it might make sense because if you
00:25:44.820
threaten with enough force then you get what you want without the force how many of you like have
00:25:52.260
you even talked to anybody who thinks that's a bad idea it's got to be at least 80 20 right in favor of it
00:26:00.580
so once again the democrats have figured out how to find uh the most unpopular thing you could imagine
00:26:09.540
which is hey suppose we make your traffic worse we damage your downtowns so that you you lose your retail
00:26:20.580
business and uh we try to open up the border and keep as many criminals in the country as we can
00:26:30.340
that doesn't even really sound like it could be happening in the real world
00:26:35.380
it's so ridiculously stupid but it fits everything democrats have been doing for the last five years
00:26:46.980
right just unbelievably stupid but somehow they think they can get some wordplay out of it so here's some
00:26:55.220
more wordplay um chaotic remember i told you that uh the democrats were going
00:27:05.140
to say that the the uh riots and or protests were sort of a natural you know free speech but the chaos
00:27:17.620
the chaos would be coming from the people who are trying to stop the violence and the protests
00:27:25.140
i think they're trying to stop the violence not the protests and sure enough
00:27:30.340
sure enough sure enough you wake up and everybody's like it's chaotic uh trump trump is making everything
00:27:38.260
chaotic so chaotic all right wordplay the other thing we have to agree on is uh i think we need to have a
00:27:47.860
constitutional convention that's the wrong thing but just sounded funny uh to decide what the word most or
00:27:56.900
mostly means do you know how important that is hey scott how much violence is there at the protest
00:28:18.580
most most uh protests no matter how violent they get
00:28:24.660
i would bet you that even in the worst situation no more than 20 percent of the participants would be
00:28:32.660
breaking things and setting them on fire and hurting people in the worst situation and we're not anywhere near
00:28:38.420
that we're more in the you know two percent five percent situation but uh no we should decide does
00:28:46.820
mostly mean more than 50 percent does mostly mean uh less than 10 percent of the people are being violent
00:29:00.420
we we can't even talk about these things without knowing what that word means
00:29:06.020
so democrats wordplay that's all they got all right so we got some uh waymo cars are on fire
00:29:16.900
um and here's another word that uh is sort of a governor newsom wordplay he said uh this is a serious moment
00:29:26.260
and it requires serious leadership and where's your decency mr president blah blah blah blah blah it's immoral
00:29:39.380
those are all words aren't they uh do you think that trump was unaware that this was a serious situation
00:29:48.740
do you think that governor newsom was actually under the belief that trump didn't understand that a
00:29:56.580
major riot and in la and other other cities was a major serious thing if trump is not taking it seriously
00:30:07.940
what are those 2000 national guard people doing are they just having fun playing beer pong and waiting for
00:30:17.060
things to settle down no i think he's taking it pretty seriously but again the democrats don't have
00:30:25.220
arguments they just have wordplay so it's a chaotic situation and uh it's mostly peaceful and trump
00:30:36.260
isn't taking it seriously which part of that told you anything none of it there's no information in any
00:30:45.300
of that it's completely content free communication there's no argument there's no data there's nothing to
00:30:55.220
agree with there's nothing to disagree with it's literally just wordplay anyway where's your decency mr
00:31:04.900
president i'll say it again it's immoral all right maybe you should say it more than once it's immoral
00:31:12.660
what part of it is immoral is it immoral to try to protect the innocent people whose storefronts might be
00:31:22.900
destroyed by a mob is that immoral is it immoral to deport people who at this point are criminal
00:31:32.420
is it immoral is it immoral to have a border i think even the pope is in favor of a little bit of law and order
00:31:43.060
is he that would be a good question from the pope pope is this immoral well yeah six of one half dozen of the other
00:31:54.900
so uh and by the way how many of you thought that governor newsom was your moral compass
00:32:01.140
because when i want to know what's moral i say to myself well what did governor newsom say
00:32:09.460
i mean i have my own opinions but until i hear what the most moral person in the world says about it
00:32:14.900
i don't know it's up in here anyway so it looks like another trump 80 20 win

for details please play responsibly uh meanwhile we've got a tough guy competition uh where uh governor
00:33:33.940
newsom um is saying that uh he's daring tom holman to arrest him he says come after me arrest me let's
00:33:45.220
just get it over with tough guy that's what uh that's what newsom said and that's because uh tom
00:33:52.900
holman has said that if anybody interferes with the work of ice that they might arrest him and then
00:34:00.660
newsom is like come after me big boy yeah come after me i feel like uh nothing would make newsom happier
00:34:12.660
than getting arrested because it would take him off the field when there's nothing he can do on the
00:34:19.060
field that's helping whatsoever but it would be this great visual you know if you saw him like perp
00:34:25.380
walked with the handcuffs on and you say to yourself my god that trump has overreached he's going to
00:34:34.100
full authoritarianism so i don't think tom holman needs any advice because he's been pretty awesome
00:34:43.220
but let me give you some advice tom holman don't arrest that guy arrest anybody else you want but don't
00:34:51.140
arrest the guy who wants to be arrested yeah you don't want that he's a theater kid and uh he would
00:35:00.340
enjoy it too much well jonathan turley has a uh article today that uh is very similar to something i've said
00:35:10.740
recently and so therefore i like it extra but he was uh writing uh i forgot where he was writing it but
00:35:18.580
it's a jonathan turley um article and he's saying that uh that uh executives around the country
00:35:28.900
are getting to do things they wanted to do but they didn't want to be seen as being in favor of it
00:35:38.340
such as getting rid of dei but apparently at least anecdotally there are a bunch of executives who
00:35:47.140
definitely wanted to get rid of dei but they couldn't do it until they could blame trump so now it's
00:35:54.420
well you know trump made me do it i really didn't want to i wanted extra dei not not less of it but uh
00:36:04.740
that damn trump he just made me get rid of it because otherwise our insurance would go up too much and
00:36:12.020
well we just couldn't afford it as much as we wanted it so i agree i think uh i think trump made me do it
00:36:22.340
might be helping a lot of people that we don't know about
00:36:26.500
well the new head of the social security administration um says that they want to become a
00:36:34.100
digital first department meaning get everything digitized in a way that uh i think most of us
00:36:42.660
assumed had already been done didn't you kind of assume that the big government programs like social
00:36:51.140
security were uh you know first rate technology i i never really thought about it too hard but if you
00:37:00.340
would stop me and say how good do you think the technology is for social security and i always
00:37:05.860
said well obviously if it's on a date they would have fixed that a long time ago because it's such an
00:37:12.500
important system so my guess would be uh it's pretty advanced well nothing like that's true it turns out that
00:37:20.500
the social security system uh is aging and uh needs a total overhaul to be digital first and so the new head
00:37:31.460
of social security is going to use uh some of the doge staffers and the doge process i think to get that done
00:37:42.900
so that's actually kind of exciting because if they design the system right
00:37:48.900
you don't have to go looking for all the fraud it would just prevent the fraud from happening in the
00:37:54.820
first place so that'd be good all right the funniest story of the day
00:38:02.340
i think it's the funniest story of the day even funnier than the yosemping story is that as you know
00:38:08.340
the dnc has uh co-chairs so it's not one person who's the head of the dnc it's two uh one of them is
00:38:17.460
david hogg what's the name of the other one how many of you can name the co-chair
00:38:31.860
well while you're doing that it'll take take a while for your comments to show up
00:38:36.420
while you're doing that uh the reporting is if you want to believe the reporting
00:38:41.460
um according to politico they got a copy of the recording uh that the uh the co-chair his name is
00:38:50.980
ken martin he was addressing hogg directly during a recent zoom meeting and he said quote i'll be very
00:38:59.140
honest with you for the first time in my hundred days on this job the other night i said to myself
00:39:04.900
for the first time i don't know if i want to do this anymore martin said and then he said no one
00:39:18.180
no one knows who the hell i am can you imagine being ken martin you're trying to do the business of
00:39:25.140
the dnc and you call somebody up and you say hey this is ken martin and whoever answers the phone has no
00:39:32.580
idea who you are but if david hogg called they'd be like oh david hogg co-chair of the dnc
00:39:41.780
so in one way you could look at this as a slight condemnation of ken martin because he hasn't done
00:39:51.940
enough to distinguish himself but on the other hand it's sort of a compliment to david hogg
00:39:58.740
who sucked all the energy out of the room now you know when trump does it when trump sucks all the
00:40:05.940
energy out of the room i compliment him so i'm going to be consistent you don't have to love what
00:40:12.820
david hogg is doing you don't have to love his opinions or anything about him but when he he goes
00:40:19.700
into a situation and sucks all the energy out of the room so you don't even know who his co-chair is
00:40:26.340
well that does suggest a level of skill which is not an accident so i would keep an eye on him he's i
00:40:34.740
i think his flaws are almost entirely based on being young and that is self-healing so i hate to tell
00:40:44.100
you but as ineffective as david hogg seems today his raw skill level and his just personality and charisma
00:40:57.060
really do make him a threat for the future so if someday there's a president uh hog
00:41:03.540
don't be don't be shocked i don't think it'll happen for you know 30 years but he's got plenty
00:41:12.660
of time to mature and learn all the uh the smart ways to do stuff so remember he's not dumb
00:41:20.580
um so some of the uh democrats that you you like to criticize are actually not very smart
00:41:28.020
but he's not one of those he's he's actually very smart he's just inexperienced and that
00:41:36.420
as i say is self-healing so watch out for him um
00:41:45.780

00:41:49.220

00:41:56.740
than you think let's talk about cash patel and epstein as we have a hundred times uh
00:42:05.380
so cash patel says that there are no videos of uh let's say famous people doing horrible things
00:42:14.660
to victims on epstein island but my question would be how would we ever know if such things existed at
00:42:24.340
one time and somebody just took them away that wouldn't be knowable would it well wasn't there like
00:42:31.540
a a room that cash patel recently found that had a whole bunch of documents in it
00:42:37.540
that nobody even knew was a storage room for sensitive documents well what if they never found that
00:42:44.420
room we would just assume that all the stuff in that room was non-existent because nobody could find it
00:42:53.700
so i don't think it means anything when cash patel says these you know there's no documents that exist
00:43:02.820
that would show that uh epstein was murdered or that uh any celebrities did any terrible crimes on the
00:43:10.100
island the only thing we know for sure well we don't even know that for sure but probably i would
00:43:17.700
give him the benefit of a doubt the one thing we know for sure uh or mostly for sure is that he doesn't
00:43:26.660
have it so i do believe him when he says i don't have any you know damning evidence of famous people
00:43:36.260
but even that could be you know something that's a state secret wouldn't it be a state secret if we had
00:43:46.260
some other head of state doing bad things on the island do you think that cash patel
00:43:55.220
would have the authority uh or even would think it's a good idea to out some other head of state or a
00:44:03.220
family member of a head of state that would be a terrible idea because we would create this whole uh
00:44:12.420
this whole animosity with some other countries that we didn't really need to
00:44:16.500
do now would justice be served nope but when you're dealing with international uh relations
00:44:26.020
you end up doing all these terrible trade-offs you know people die if you do this but people die if
00:44:31.700
you do the other thing so international relations is uh contact sport so even though there might be a
00:44:40.820
situation where uh justice would not be satisfied you can imagine that that would be a state secret
00:44:51.460
because it's a messy world so if it sounds like i'm in favor of that then check yourself because i
00:45:00.340
didn't say that i'm just saying that that might be the reality of it
00:45:07.460
anyway um what else we got going on oh cash patel also said they found the missing fauci phone
00:45:18.660
i guess one of his older phones hadn't been able to find for years but somehow magically they found it
00:45:24.020
it do you think there's going to be anything on fauci's phone by now that uh would cause trouble
00:45:34.900
i don't know i'm i'm so jaded even though this has nothing to do with the epstein files you know the
00:45:40.340
fauci phone and the epstein files no connection you know if you imagined anything about one that affected
00:45:48.180
the other would be analogy thinking so it wouldn't even be good thinking
00:45:52.740
but there's something about just what we've been observing for the last several years
00:45:59.700
that makes me think that there will be nothing interesting on fauci's phone
00:46:04.500
because every time we think we've got something it's like ah we got him we found the secret documents
00:46:12.340
we've you know it just doesn't really work out that way does it
00:46:16.820
so i'm going to say that there will be no major fauci revelations unless they're just sort of
00:46:25.540
embarrassing or interesting or funny but nothing that's going to make him go to jail
00:46:31.300
all right um according to federal appeals court uh trump will be allowed to ban the
00:46:41.140
the ap the associated press from the oval office a two-to-one ruling that uh block the lower courts uh
00:46:51.140
block or something um so what do you think of that do you think it's uh do you think it's fair
00:46:59.620
that trump can block one part of the major media well here's a little uh persuasion lesson for you
00:47:10.900
if he blocked all of the major media that said things that were untrue and maybe they even knew
00:47:19.140
they were untrue then there would be no media left for his press events if he blocked nobody
00:47:27.780
just nobody got any pushback then the the bad media would feel free to make up more lies about them
00:47:36.740
and not worry about it but if you can take one of them in this case the ap and drive a stake through their
00:47:46.100
heart and say this could be you you know if you do the same thing that they did
00:47:54.660
will drive a stake through your heart too because you don't have automatic access to the white house
00:48:02.100
and so persuasion wise uh putting a stake through the heart of one major
00:48:09.940
you know brand name media enterprise is the very smartest thing you could do because it's going to
00:48:17.540
make all the rest of them say uh maybe we should look twice at the way we're wording this and that's
00:48:23.700
what he would want so smart um meanwhile in uh news is a little bit alarming the trump administration
00:48:37.460
has allegedly according to the new york post diverted 20 000 anti-drone missiles uh that were meant for
00:48:45.940
ukraine and they're being sent to u.s troops in the middle east now why would u.s troops in the middle east
00:48:56.180
suddenly need 20 000 anti-drone missiles do we need them more than we needed them a month ago is it just a
00:49:08.180
uh ordinary uh ordinary increase in capacity and a change in priorities where trump says okay ukraine is
00:49:18.020
less important u.s is more important so we're going to move them all right you're way ahead of me in the
00:49:23.700
comments you're way ahead of me yeah it kind of suggests that we're preparing for war with iran
00:49:32.500
now i always i always tell you this preparing for war does not mean war preparing for war just means
00:49:42.820
you have a military if your military has not prepared for every you know likely or even potential war
00:49:51.540
they're not really doing their job so would it make sense even if we had no intention of starting a war
00:49:59.620
would it make sense for us to move a bunch of weapons into the u.s control away from ukraine and the
00:50:06.500
answer is probably probably makes sense to move those weapons um but it also makes a uh a good warning for
00:50:17.220
iran so if iran thinks we're preparing for war do you think they'll be a little more flexible
00:50:24.260
they should you know they're not super flexible right now but um it's got to feel different
00:50:33.780
if you're if the only thing happening is the boats are setting off the coast i mean that's scary enough
00:50:41.620
but if the boats are you know the ships if they're sitting off the coast of your country
00:50:46.980
and their warships and you just heard that 20 000 anti-drone missiles just got delivered
00:50:54.900
then you're going to be a little bit more worried so i always wonder if the sort of story is planted
00:51:02.580
and that the real customer for it is iran so that they can look at it and say whoa looks like they're
00:51:09.380
changing their focus to us so but it could be unrelated um russia is apparently increasing their
00:51:20.820
offensive into ukraine and they're going into the dnipropetrokova region now if you're wondering how to
00:51:32.180
pronounce that correctly um that's why you come to me it's called dnipropetrovsk region and that's very
00:51:44.580
important um and apparently the uh it's just above crimea somebody said so if you're walking you know
00:51:53.700
toward the center of ukraine you start in crimea and then you would have to pass through
00:51:58.580
the dnipropetrovsk region and uh russia really wants that apparently so it's making a major push
00:52:10.260
um to try to get it so that sort of suggests that putin is not planning for peace anytime soon
00:52:19.620
um um i always tell you about all the uh you know i always well i one more thing about the um
00:52:32.500
russian incursion do you think the ukrainians are saying to themselves you know what we'd really
00:52:39.300
we could use right now 20 000 anti-drone missiles that would really help us right now anyway
00:52:47.540
um i always tell you these stories about uh electric batteries that are you know new technology i don't
00:52:56.580
tell you all of them because there's probably more than one of them every day and when i do tell you
00:53:04.100
about them i remind you it's not that this particular one is going to become the standard in the future
00:53:11.700
but once you get a sense of how many battery related breakthroughs there are like just major breakthroughs
00:53:20.740
then you just add to that all you need is some big car company to want to use that technology and
00:53:28.980
operationalize it but interesting engineering is talking about a new battery breakthrough
00:53:35.540
um a serbian company so they've they've got this battery that you can get an 80 charge in 12 minutes
00:53:47.700
and it will last 310 000 miles uh i mean that's that's the lifespan of the battery and
00:53:56.420
it can charge that 80 in just 12 minutes 12 minutes
00:54:05.620
that's pretty impressive anyway so the battery stuff is what um those breakthroughs are what make your e-bikes
00:54:14.500
work and your your electric cars and your your underwater uh jet packs and very soon your aircraft
00:54:25.140
aircraft so i'm pretty sure aircraft will alter an electric at some point seems impossible because
00:54:34.900
you know aircraft require a well not jets well i don't think you'd be able to replace jets but you'd
00:54:42.180
probably be be able to replace a lot of local you know short haul aircraft stuff
00:54:48.580
well there's a story that says uh china and the u.s are meeting on monday
00:54:57.540
in london to talk about a rare earth deal now how does that fit with the news we were already told
00:55:06.100
which is that trump said that he made a deal with xi for rare earth minerals
00:55:12.260
what was that about because you know at the time i thought to myself well not really there's not
00:55:22.180
really any chance that the two of them hashed down a mineral deal or was there some particular sticking
00:55:29.060
point that trump removed that allowed them to have serious negotiations but what we don't have
00:55:38.020
is any kind of a mineral deal with china and i don't really understand why there would be
00:55:44.420
um unless they also felt like they could make deals on all the other stuff because the mineral deal
00:55:52.020
you know the rare earth stuff that feels like where they've really got us by the
00:55:57.700
gonads if you know what i mean like more so than anything else that they do so why would they give
00:56:03.940
that up first in what world would you negotiate by giving up your main leverage before you even talk
00:56:14.500
about your other stuff so there's something going on here with this story that i don't understand
00:56:21.220
doesn't make sense with what i know about negotiations or people or trump or president xi or china
00:56:29.060
it doesn't make sense so if somebody can figure out what is it i don't understand about this story
00:56:36.420
which might be just everything i don't know uh let me know because i'm very curious because we under no
00:56:44.100
circumstances does it make sense that china and the us would be negotiating the the highest leverage part
00:56:51.940
of the trade deal unless china just went crazy and decided that they don't want their best leverage
00:57:02.580
i don't know it doesn't make sense so ladies and gentlemen that is what i want to tell you today
00:57:11.300
and uh hope you enjoyed the show i'm going to say hi to the uh local subscribers privately
00:57:20.020
and the rest of you have a wonderful monday i think it's a perfect summer day and uh you'll enjoy it so
00:57:29.140
locals here i come in 30 seconds everybody else i'll see you tomorrow same time same place
