00:00:00.000
hey there you are i was just checking on your stocks so you don't have to
00:00:08.160
throw up a little bit not bad but let's get our comments working and then we'll have some fun
00:00:17.200
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called
00:00:41.120
coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to
00:00:47.120
take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:56.240
all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass a tank or shells or sign a canteen jug or flask
00:01:04.480
a vessel of a kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the
00:01:10.880
unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called
00:01:32.240
extraordinary all right so according to just the news
00:01:39.360
uh ben weeden is reporting that uh that musk and trump have spoken on the phone is that confirmed
00:01:51.440
in the comments you can tell me if that's really something to happen but if it's true it's the uh
00:02:01.040
most predictable possible outcome because you knew at some point they were going to talk
00:02:07.200
you know obviously if they had to talk and you knew that they wouldn't keep it
00:02:16.800
ramped up to you know 10 so they were going to ramp it down which they have and it looks like they may
00:02:23.840
have agreed to just stop uh insulting each other on social media so maybe they maybe i don't know it
00:02:34.480
wasn't on the call but maybe uh all they did is uh decide it wasn't good to insult each other in public
00:02:44.320
because i i can't imagine a scenario in which uh trump said look you know let's just pass this bill and
00:02:56.160
you know it supports uh conservative stuff you like and and then everything's fine
00:03:03.200
i feel like there must be a second part of this where maybe trump said you know we'll get to those savings
00:03:13.200
but that's a future step we'll see well in other news the fda has approved lab grown salmon
00:03:27.200
according to popular science so it's a cultivated fish
00:03:33.200
i wonder why they would choose salmon first maybe it's the most popular i don't know um
00:03:41.360
but the fda has now greenlit the project and if you want to grow your own salmon well i don't know
00:03:50.640
if you can do it on your own but um there's already one restaurant that's serving it now doesn't it seem to
00:04:00.480
you that you wouldn't need that much equipment to grow your own salmon because they start with some cells
00:04:10.800
and then i think they just uh keep it in some kind of environment that's right you know php and acid
00:04:18.240
and whatever and it just grows it seems to me that uh that wouldn't take up much space
00:04:27.360
for how much they might produce so you'd get sick of one one kind of fish but if you could grow multiple
00:04:36.560
fish in a device that was let's say as big as your maybe your barbecue or you know your oven
00:04:45.760
um and it could feed your family all the protein you needed would you build one so that you add one
00:04:57.760
or would it cost as much to uh to make the fish as you know the fish would cost if you bought it i don't know
00:05:05.920
uh huh i i think this uh might be a maybe not for you but for some people it might let them live off the grid
00:05:17.600
because i i always thought that was the last thing because we know how to make water out of the air
00:05:24.640
we know how to make electricity out of the sun and we know how to store it in a battery
00:05:31.840
so we know how to grow you know lettuce and uh crappy vegetables in a indoor garden
00:05:39.360
but we didn't know how to make a protein that somebody would eat probably getting closer
00:05:48.320
anyway uh greta tonberg um as you know was one of the the biggest influencers and the uh
00:05:59.200
climate change conversation and so she uh decided to change her focus recently and was gonna go with a
00:06:10.320
bunch of other people and uh try to talk to people in gaza i guess so she was going to be a an activist
00:06:20.480
going to israel and visiting gaza and taking some selfies
00:06:26.080
uh but instead of that the idf uh detained them and put them on a plane and sent her home
00:06:37.120
to which i say greta this wasn't your best work
00:06:43.680
if all it took was uh the idf to say all right you're done get back to this plane
00:06:50.640
uh that's the weakest protest of all time so in the uh anals anals i don't want to say annals uh of
00:07:03.120
history this might be uh one of the least effective protests of all time and she's back on an airplane
00:07:12.240
and should be landing in new jersey or wherever um but other news that is ceo mark zuckerberg
00:07:23.840
uh according to axios is uh creating this uh super intelligence team to work for him and they'll be
00:07:33.520
building the world's most advanced ai platform now let me give you the uh the dilbert filter
00:07:42.800
on that if you were one of the biggest most important tech companies such as meta and you
00:07:52.880
were in the age of ai but you didn't really have much to add to it you know you were sort of a follower
00:08:02.880
wouldn't you still feel like you needed to pretend you were a leader
00:08:07.680
i think you would just for your own stock price so i remember working at the phone company
00:08:17.440
and if there was a new technology that would signal that your company was you know right on the bleeding
00:08:25.520
edge of good stuff we would pay a lot of money to pretend we were doing something in that space
00:08:32.960
now we didn't say it that way but if you were near it you knew that you weren't being fronted enough
00:08:41.840
or staffed in a way that you would be influencing this whole technology you would just be sort of
00:08:48.960
pretending that you were doing something in that space it makes me wonder if if zuckerberg really
00:08:58.320
thinks that they're gonna you know get the lead on whatever elon musk is doing with ai and whatever
00:09:06.640
uh chat gbt is doing and whether they think okay if we get the right staff and we pay enough for the
00:09:13.520
enough for the people and we fund them enough and we put enough you know management attention on it
00:09:20.960
we'll be able to uh create this you know new ai platform that's better than anything anybody's ever
00:09:29.120
seen maybe possibly or it's possible that you just need to demonstrate that you're in that space
00:09:39.920
so your stock doesn't go down speaking of which apple is at the worldwide developers conference
00:09:49.920
uh which is where companies like to announce you know upgrades and you know new features
00:09:57.760
and it doesn't look like they're gonna have much to say about ai at all so
00:10:04.400
do you think apple stock went up or down when the investors found out they don't have much to say
00:10:14.160
about ai again i think it went down now uh that was maybe an hour ago so so you have to keep an eye on
00:10:25.280
that but my uh dilbert filter is that if you're not at least pretending to do a lot with ai
00:10:32.240
you're gonna have lower stock so anyway um we'll see if zuckerberg can do it again
00:10:42.400
and come up with a an ai that wows us claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been
00:10:49.040
visualizing my match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind
00:10:54.640
her car on her backhand side good thing claudia is with intact the insurer with the largest network
00:11:00.960
of auto service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on
00:11:05.680
her way in a rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you
00:11:11.600
got there on time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply well speaking of the
00:11:20.320
big beautiful bill um speaker jocelyn is warning people to warning his own team the republicans
00:11:30.960
uh not to get all uh worked up about the salt uh deductions now if you're not in a state where that matters
00:11:40.720
you don't know what salt uh stands for so it's s-a-l-t and it stands for state and local tax which is
00:11:52.320
at least uh historically had been a deduction so if you paid a lot of taxes in your
00:12:00.480
states like california does you would get to you know deduct that from your federal taxes
00:12:07.520
but um so there's a version of that that it went away but there's a version of that being put back
00:12:16.720
into this big beautiful bill with some caps so it's not like it used to be so for example in my case
00:12:26.800
it would make almost no difference because there's a cap on it but uh here's what you need to know
00:12:34.160
speaker johnson wants to know that if you mess with salt you're gonna get peppered that's right
00:12:41.760
you're gonna get peppered by other politicians who say hey stop it we gotta get this bill passed
00:12:48.800
the other thing uh trump introduced by the way he seems to be slowing down on the executive orders
00:12:58.160
which is probably good because i don't know how you could do that many executive orders
00:13:04.800
as he did in the first hundred days and just like keep going so we're we're in a little bit in the summer
00:13:14.160
the summer doldrums so my you know my show won't be as long and the the topics will be artificial
00:13:22.240
elected the riots we'll talk about that but uh trump has uh introduced the idea i guess he signed
00:13:32.000
something that would uh provide a thousand dollars per american baby um and that would be pegged to some
00:13:41.680
index so it's automatically invested and i assume it would be like the s b index or something and then
00:13:50.240
it would be open to other people making donations and the idea would be to make uh children um investors
00:14:01.440
from day one now it's not necessarily going to teach those children anything but by the time they reach 18
00:14:11.680
especially if their relatives or their business or something else has uh donated to the accounts
00:14:18.880
it should be non-trivial you know it's not going to pay for college um but we might not be going to
00:14:26.480
college by then it might pay for um virtual college you know i think a lot of the college will be online and
00:14:37.760
uh so it might pay for that so i like the idea um i just said
00:14:48.160
a thousand dollars and then maybe another thousand dollars of bitcoin what do you think would be
00:14:56.160
better for a baby born today a thousand us dollars or a thousand dollars worth of bitcoin
00:15:10.160
i would definitely go with the bitcoin now now the bitcoin could be worth nothing in these 18 years
00:15:19.280
you know because who knows quantum computing might you know make it too hard to to hide your stuff i don't
00:15:28.000
know so there might be something coming that makes bitcoin worth nothing but if i had to bet
00:15:35.520
you know a thousand dollars a bitcoin today that's more likely going to pay for your entire college
00:15:48.240
um let's check in with the wordplay of our favorite uh people we're watching the democrats
00:15:57.680
so here's a uh here's a post from bernie sanders he says uh dr king defeated racist government
00:16:07.920
officials and ended segregation through discipline non-violent resistance
00:16:13.920
but he goes on he says defeating trumpism oligarchy and authoritarianism requires that same level of
00:16:24.960
discipline uh then he points out that violent protests are counterproductive and play right into
00:16:33.440
trump's playbook so bernie is completely aware that the current situation is highly
00:16:42.720
uh beneficial uh beneficial to trump's reputation and not the democrats so i always have to give bernie some
00:16:52.400
credit as you know crazy and useless as he is sometimes
00:17:00.560
he does at least tell the truth when other democrats are having trouble doing it
00:17:06.560
this would be one of those times yes this is very good for trump it's very bad for the people who are
00:17:15.040
trying to make a point on the street and we'll talk about that because you know it doesn't matter until
00:17:23.360
the last inning who's ahead but here's what uh caught my attention in bernie sanders uh post
00:17:31.040
he started out with oligarchy so aoc and bernie were going to go fight the oligarchy and i thought that
00:17:41.840
was funny because nobody knows what the oligarchy is but now he's uh now we've got trumpism oligarchy and
00:17:52.000
authoritarianism and you're going to need discipline to defeat them
00:17:56.320
what kind of discipline are you going to need to defeat them and how many people could define them
00:18:06.000
if you were to stop a democrat on the street and say can you define trumpism what exactly would they
00:18:15.840
say i think they might say oh trumpism is authoritarianism and oligarchy and then you'd say
00:18:24.800
why well what is oligarchy and somebody would say well oligarchy is you know when you put trumpism and
00:18:32.240
authoritarianism together well what is authoritarianism well it's like trumpism plus oligarchy
00:18:41.280
all of this is this big circular word soup where they've got words but nothing seems to carry any real
00:18:50.400
meaning or policy or uh ideas or preferences or or anything they're just these big words so at least i got
00:19:03.840
that going for them so bernie sanders wants you to worry about trumpism oligarchyism no just oligarchy and
00:19:12.160
authoritarianism and authoritarianism those will really get you going won't they
00:19:20.640
if somebody came to your house and said hey join me in the streets uh we're going to be protesting
00:19:32.800
would would that get you going would you be all yes finally somebody's going to protest the things
00:19:42.480
i care about the most you know not feeding my family or being safe from a crime but trumpism
00:19:50.480
and then uh nancy pelosi weighed in so she's uh got around a little word play here
00:19:58.960
um and she says the trump administration's escalation and provocation in california
00:20:08.080
inflames tension and incites violence now the president of the united states said he would arrest
00:20:15.360
the sitting american governor just for disagreeing with these actions okay that obviously that didn't
00:20:22.960
happen not with not not the just for disagreeing part um this is a hallmark of authoritarianism on the
00:20:32.240
road to tyranny and all americans should be shocked and appalled by the president's blatant disregard for
00:20:40.800
our constitutional system so again it's just words so it's a hallmark of authoritarianism on the road to tyranny
00:20:54.960
so somebody knocks on your door and says we got a big problem in this country
00:21:02.720
we've got uh we've got the hallmarks of authoritarianism on the road to tyranny
00:21:09.040
really that sounds terrible what are they doing exactly well well uh they're sending in the military
00:21:19.360
to reduce the odds uh that will uh lose property that belongs to the public and uh reduce the odds of violence
00:21:29.520
uh but uh you said there was a hallmark of authoritarianism well that is that is they're they're also
00:21:40.400
threatening to arrest the governor who's begging to be arrested except when trump says that he's kind of
00:21:48.160
smiling so how many of you saw what uh trump actually said these actual words because he didn't really say
00:22:00.400
he wants to arrest gavin newsom he was kind of joking about it um we'll get to that when i found out my
00:22:09.440
friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from
00:22:16.240
winners like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful
00:22:22.640
gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots
00:22:28.800
that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering
00:22:35.440
start winning winners find fabulous for less anyway um so some words you got your tyranny and your
00:22:47.280
authoritarianism so that'll get your blood run um and then uh then of course the democrats have uh this one
00:22:59.600
play that they use for everything it's just one play they sue
00:23:06.080
so newsom and california are suing the trump administration for deploying the national guard
00:23:13.920
to los angeles now let me ask you this if you were a property property owner or a business owner of any of
00:23:25.760
those businesses that are where the protests are happening do you think you'd want the national guard there
00:23:33.120
a little bit a little bit i think you would i think you would yeah so this the suing is over some kind of
00:23:43.600
process question that the uh the governor should have been informed or should have signed off on it or
00:23:50.640
something like that but if you were to if you were just to ask the public do you want the national guard
00:23:58.320
to be there just to make sure things don't get out of control and you know there were people lighting
00:24:04.240
cars on fire and throwing rocks from overpasses onto cars uh do you want more of that or do you want some
00:24:13.200
national guard to you know make sure there's uh at least a military well let's say law enforcement in this
00:24:21.280
case presence i think most people would agree with trump would they so let's look at uh all right just one
00:24:33.840
one more thing um i saw the uh video on the maize account on x and it's a 2007 video of joe biden before
00:24:48.320
his brain was totally fried uh you should watch a old video of biden uh you know under today's uh
00:24:58.160
understanding of how bad it got he used to be a fast talking reasonably smart guy so here's something
00:25:09.120
he said uh in 2007 he was asked if he were president would he allow sanctuary cities to exist this is 2007.
00:25:20.480
his answer was no he said that uh sanctuary cities turned into dumps and the only reason they
00:25:28.000
exist is because the federal government doesn't enforce the law so in other words biden was
00:25:36.800
exactly where trump is basically and uh that's back when his brain was working
00:25:44.000
it's really the sort of thing that tells you that whatever did happen with biden later
00:25:49.920
he wasn't running anything there's just no way that this same biden from 2007 was the open border biden
00:26:02.000
sanctuary cities are great i mean something happened to him that was just terrible anyway so from a
00:26:09.600
persuasion perspective the la riots are um pretty much everything trump would want
00:26:18.160
not it's the gift that keeps on giving the democrats just haven't figured out
00:26:26.880
how any of this works it's like they they just keep doing things that are the dumbest thing you could
00:26:33.760
possibly do in that situation so first of all um i think all the polls show that the public by majority
00:26:44.800
supports what trump wants to do for immigration so they're working against the majority
00:26:53.200
next the law apparently is on trump's side on this one now the lawsuit thing had to do with some
00:27:00.960
technicality but in terms of the law trump has the legal right under certain circumstances that seem to
00:27:10.320
have been met to uh add some military and take control of the uh uh the national guard for exactly this sort of
00:27:21.040
situation so he's got the law on his side he's got the public on his side and then um
00:27:30.720
if i if i ever taught you well i guess everybody who's read my book win bigly knows this
00:27:37.520
but if i were to ask you what are the two most powerful methods of persuasion would you know the answer
00:27:48.480
the top two methods of persuasion now it's kind of a trick question because you know it's there's a
00:27:57.840
a little bit more to it but the top two are fear fear and visual persuasion so if you want to persuade
00:28:09.760
somebody of anything if you can say if you don't do this or you do this you'll all die if you can scare
00:28:19.840
somebody that is really good persuasion so look at the uh all the recurring video of the riots what does
00:28:30.720
the news want to show you well the news wants to show you whatever is spectacular and you know uh flaming
00:28:41.200
and dangerous and dangerous and whatever so the news is going to loop all the dangerous stuff so that
00:28:49.440
picture of the the one young man holding the mexican flag while standing on a burning american car
00:28:57.840
how many times have you seen that so far a lot right now that's a really scary image
00:29:06.000
because you think to yourself uh oh there's people here willing to burn things and you know create
00:29:13.440
some degree of violence and at least some of them are waving a flag from a country that's not yours
00:29:21.760
you know how scary is that like even if you've rationalized it as a you know as a let's say a jaded
00:29:33.120
viewer of the news and you just said to yourself oh this will pass you know it's not gonna last forever
00:29:39.920
there's something that just sort of reaches your animal core when you see somebody burning
00:29:47.360
burning stuff that belongs to your government or your country and they're waving a flag of another
00:29:55.040
country so the fear of persuasion is pretty high just naturally baked into the situation so that works
00:30:06.400
really well for trump's perspective and then as i said the visual persuasion
00:30:12.640
uh is always at the top of the list so if you were trying to influence somebody with sound you know
00:30:20.320
just words it wouldn't work nearly as well as you know the right kind of pictures and these are
00:30:27.120
definitely the right kind of pictures uh if you're trump so you got the two strongest forms of persuasion
00:30:36.480
working in trump's favor to make the sanctuary cities look like they're dangerous and chaotic
00:30:45.200
which would make you want to not have a sanctuary city or not want to live in one
00:30:50.480
and uh it's going to be endless it's just going to be loop after loop of loop of these scary visuals yeah
00:30:58.480
there's the gentleman on the motorcycle with the mexican flag so that's all working for trump so trump's
00:31:07.920
got the american public on his side he's got the law on his side and he's got the two strongest forms of
00:31:17.200
persuasion that just sort of naturally exist you know it's not like anything he did that are very much in
00:31:25.600
his favor um it also keeps the topic of immigration in the news which is uh probably the one topic where
00:31:36.560
trump consistently is in the majority so if you were the democrats would you want to keep the topic of
00:31:45.840
immigration as the number one news item all summer that would be the worst thing you could do
00:31:54.160
because that topic is not in your favor but that's what's happening so he's got the so trump has the
00:32:01.520
news cycle in his favor um it also gives trump a opportunity to show his main theme which is you're
00:32:12.960
not going to need any violence if you have a strength so he comes in hard and fast with lots of strength
00:32:21.840
the national guard and i guess submarines are being um operationalized and will it work well it will
00:32:36.080
but there's a risk right the risk is that somebody gets carried away and you know one of the military
00:32:43.760
people with a scary rifles and some shooting someone and it won't matter what the circumstances are
00:32:50.800
it won't matter how guilty that person is it will only matter that it happens or it doesn't happen
00:32:57.200
now so far it would appear that the national guard and the military don't have any kind of orders to
00:33:06.400
shoot anybody for anything so we don't know what the actual orders are but if it does have the effect
00:33:14.640
which is most likely it could go it might go the other way but most likely you're going to see that
00:33:23.920
strength and fast action are effective and that's what trump would like you to know about
00:33:34.720
dealing with crime dealing with the border dealing with ukraine dealing with china
00:33:41.840
it's always the same thing it's like let's have overwhelming power and then nobody needs to get hurt
00:33:51.200
so that's working in his favor um and then the images of the mexican flags
00:33:58.640
and uh the people standing on the burning cars i don't think that could possibly be better
00:34:07.440
for trump than anything i could think of it's the flag that really just sends it into the next level of
00:34:15.440
you know anti-persuasion so there's that so there you go so trump has working his favor the majority of
00:34:26.400
the american people the laws on his side um he's making newsom and bass look like uh idiots because
00:34:35.120
they can't stop this on their own he's making the sanctuary cities look bad he's not doing anything to make
00:34:42.160
it look bad it's just the situation does that he's showing uh he's keeping immigration in the news which
00:34:50.240
is good for him he's got the strongest forms of persuasion working on the side and uh he's demonstrating
00:34:58.880
his you know key principle of uh overwhelming strength to avoid violence how does this get better
00:35:13.280
no honestly i i saw was it uh bernie or somebody said that uh the the high ground oh no it wasn't him
00:35:34.480
all right so uh 700 marines deployed and we might get up to 5 000 troops there would be a combination of
00:35:45.280
mostly uh mostly national guard but some of these marines as well all right so we got that going for
00:35:54.880
us so there was a big uh back and forth between gavin newsom and trump on this question of uh arresting him
00:36:03.360
now gavin being the theater kid that he is wanted to make a big deal and if you want to arrest these
00:36:10.960
people you arrest me come arrest me you know so he was trying to be the hero now it doesn't really work on
00:36:18.800
him because there's something so you know non genuine about anything he does that it's really hard to
00:36:29.120
believe that you know he would really want to take the punishment for somebody else or you know arrest
00:36:36.400
me first but we do assume that he would love the visual of it because it would look like authoritarianism
00:36:44.560
and then they could use those videos forever so it doesn't make sense for tom holman to arrest newsom
00:36:53.360
and remember newsom was originally talking to tom holman so he wasn't talking to trump when he said
00:37:01.280
arrest me and uh tom holman i think has been consistent which is that it wouldn't matter who it is if
00:37:10.800
somebody is breaking the law uh which would include preventing them from doing their job that there
00:37:18.400
might be a case where somebody might get arrested and it could be a governor so it's it's just sort of
00:37:26.320
sitting out there as a threat and something to talk about i i don't think it's doesn't seem very likely
00:37:33.440
it's going to happen but uh so trump was asked uh should tom holman arrest newsom now remember
00:37:43.520
they're not asking if trump would do it as president you know order it uh they asked if tom holman should do
00:37:52.960
it which suggests to me uh without saying it should he do it if the situation called for it
00:38:02.800
not just for fun yeah but if the situation clearly called for it and newsom was clearly violating some law
00:38:14.800
then would it make sense for tom holman to make his own decision about arresting him anyway trump said
00:38:23.040
i would do it if i were tom now i always tell you that trump always finds the most provocative thing to say
00:38:31.840
so that you can't forget anything he ever says well the most provocative thing is i would do it if i
00:38:40.880
were tom what he's not saying is that he would order it as president or that you know he would do it as
00:38:50.080
president he's just saying if i were in that job and he obstructed my you know my legal authority to do
00:38:58.160
this work i might arrest him now i think the reality is the odds of them arresting a sitting governor
00:39:07.840
especially this one who likes the publicity pretty low but but i still i do kind of like the fact that
00:39:15.760
he puts it out there like he's not taking it off the table but i also don't take it seriously so if
00:39:24.880
you're a very casual watcher of the news you might take it seriously but if you're let's say a news junkie
00:39:34.000
like most of you are how about if you take that seriously that governor newsom might get arrested
00:39:42.560
i mean you could imagine it if he you know really ran down and started pushing
00:39:49.840
ice officers out of the way to you know to rescue some somebody who was being arrested you could
00:39:57.280
imagine that but really i mean not really it's not even a real thing so it's sort of summer news
00:40:07.760
summer news is someone might arrest uh the governor of california real news nobody's going to arrest the
00:40:16.320
governor of california unless he really really tried hard to get arrested and that would just look
00:40:23.760
different um but then uh trump says after trump says uh i would do it if i were tom he says gavin likes
00:40:33.680
the publicity but he's done a terrible job so the fact that trump knowingly says that uh gavin would like
00:40:43.280
the publicity the publicity it means they're all operating with the same understanding of what this
00:40:49.360
really is it's not really a law enforcement question it's not it's not even a serious hypothetical really
00:40:59.280
it's just something to talk about in the summer
00:41:04.000
anyway so then uh gavin newsom decides to you know leap on what trump says he says the president of the
00:41:12.560
united states just called for the arrest of a sitting governor no he didn't he was asked what he would
00:41:21.200
do if he were in a different job he did not call for the arrest of a sitting governor that would look
00:41:28.960
very different and you would know it if he did it so gavin starts out with a lie that's
00:41:35.680
well close enough to the topic in question that people aren't gonna you know maybe even notice this lie
00:41:44.320
so they're gonna say wow the president united states called for the arrest of a sitting governor
00:41:50.480
not really but uh he goes on uh this is a day i hoped i would never see in america
00:41:56.960
now we're gonna see some theatrical drama you ready i don't care if you're a democrat or republican
00:42:06.720
this is a line we cannot cross as a nation this is an unmistakable step toward guess what authoritarianism
00:42:17.440
that's right authoritarianism so apparently the new word of the day is authoritarianism
00:42:26.400
pelosi's using it and bernie's using it and now newsom is using it and i guess their idea is that
00:42:36.400
if they show a bunch of you know armed people in the city that uh at least maybe democrats will say
00:42:45.840
well look at those armed people in the city that are being ordered there by trump
00:42:57.680
somebody interested in authoritarianism would do such a thing but how much of the country do you think
00:43:05.760
thinks that way especially after living through the floyd riots and the blm and the antifa
00:43:13.840
and even the the tesla um burnings i feel like most of us would like to see more law enforcement
00:43:24.000
as long as they're in the right place doing the right stuff which apparently they are it's not it's
00:43:30.480
not like you randomly put the military into detroit or something you know there was there was a specific
00:43:36.720
you know risk of violence and there was a known way to handle it which is put in enough law enforcement
00:43:46.320
and so trump did that i don't think that's gonna work in newsom's favor and then jd vance weighed in
00:43:55.040
uh and posted at uh on x at newsom he said uh do your job that's all we're asking
00:44:06.880
do your job that's all we're asking now that made me wonder the following do you think jd vance
00:44:15.840
needs to get permission from trump's team before he does a post like that
00:44:26.880
because when he says uh do your job that's all we're asking he's basically downplaying the we're
00:44:33.920
gonna arrest you thing yeah as if that were never serious in the first place just do your job
00:44:39.520
like we're we're not asking anything extraordinary just you know do your job so that's a pretty good
00:44:48.080
post but don't you wonder if jt has the trust of the administration to do that specific kind of a post
00:44:59.760
or does he have to run it by somebody i would say i don't know but i'm gonna make a guess
00:45:10.240
and my guess is that jd has proven himself to the point where he does not need to run that by anybody
00:45:19.440
because he is such a good communicator and he understands perfectly you know what the president
00:45:26.160
intends and he understands the base perfectly so this was a good post um because it you know took it
00:45:36.400
out of that will arrest you mode and took it down to just do your job so then gavin newsom falls into
00:45:44.160
the trap and uh he goes with the job theme so he responds back to jd vance he says do your job we
00:45:55.120
didn't have a problem until trump got involved rescind the order return control to california now
00:46:02.240
rescind the order i think means the uh the national guard order so
00:46:12.080
so jd vance effectively changed the conversation from arresting a governor to are you doing your job or
00:46:22.240
not and then newsom fell into the trap of instead of saying no no the real issue is
00:46:30.640
somebody trying to arrest the governor for no reason he just went with the job thing and just said you
00:46:37.520
know about your job do your job do you think that many americans believe that trump is a reason that the
00:46:47.440
protests are getting out of hand well maybe if they have just a very pro sanctuary city you know idea it kind
00:46:59.680
of makes sense but i don't think most people are going to think that are they it it doesn't really look like
00:47:08.080
like national guard causes riots don't you think riots cause the national guard to show up or or
00:47:17.920
there are people in the united states who are actually thinking you know what if that if that darn trump
00:47:25.200
deploys the national guard deploys the national guard riots are going to break out does anybody think that backwards
00:47:35.040
now i realize it's just team play so there's going to be plenty of people who you know come up with a
00:47:42.000
tortured explanation of why trump is the cause of sanctuary city riots because he's you know trying too hard with

00:48:57.840
senator john fetterman posted this he said uh i unapologetically stand for free speech peaceful
00:49:07.920
demonstrations and immigration but that is uh but this is not that he said this is anarchy and true chaos
00:49:18.560
so it kind of looks like he's blaming his own side for anarchy and true chaos and then he says my party
00:49:27.840
loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire destroying buildings and assaulting
00:49:35.920
law enforcement so there he is again um fetterman finds that kind of commonsensical you know american middle
00:49:50.240
but i think he missed the moral high ground he's saying the moral high ground would be to condemn
00:49:59.200
the setting of fire of cars and the violence and stuff like that now i think that would be a good thing to
00:50:05.040
happen i would love to see the democrats condemn all the forms of violence but it's not the highest high moral
00:50:16.080
high ground the higher moral high ground is you need to get your team to stop funding and organizing riots
00:50:27.200
you're not gonna you're gonna you're not gonna convince me that the real problem is that your observers
00:50:33.520
the democrats are the democrats are not observers they're members of a large political party whose allies
00:50:42.640
almost certainly are behind all of us now i'm not saying the democratic party is behind it but their allies
00:50:50.240
are i mean pretty obviously and clearly and yeah so the uh the high moral high moral high ground
00:51:00.240
is to stop funding it you know if you don't fund it is probably not going to happen because i like to say
00:51:08.480
again how many of the people who were you know at the protests um were thinking to themselves even two months
00:51:18.080
ago you know the most important thing i could do is risk my freedom and my health to protest
00:51:26.560
to protest sanctuary cities being uh being violated probably very few very few a few you know not zero but
00:51:40.160
very very few so this could not be more artificial and for democrats to pretend that it's just sort of
00:51:49.840
breaking out on its own it's not we're we're watching this as a wise seasoned observers of the news
00:52:02.240
and we knew this would happen what a year ago we can predict every summer we'll have a new fake democrat
00:52:11.280
protests here it is um and then uh byron york points out in a post on acts at the bottom of the riots in
00:52:23.920
california there's a city and state officials there want to have their own immigration law and they can't
00:52:31.120
have their own immigration law so again this is you know the lobbying on trump's side you can't really have
00:52:39.760
the states deciding their own immigration laws because imagine that would imagine if that's the law
00:52:49.440
then it wouldn't matter if the federal government said things were illegal you can't come across the
00:52:56.080
border as long as uh let's say california said yeah come on in borders open no problem
00:53:04.720
those those those cannot coexist so somebody some one entity needs to be in control of immigration
00:53:16.480
because you just can't you can't parse that out yeah as soon as you say you do what you want and i do
00:53:24.720
what i want somebody's going to have a big open border and then another state is going to be all right we're
00:53:31.200
going to try to stop everybody coming into our state but it won't make any difference because people will
00:53:36.640
just come in through the open port so there really isn't any situation in which anybody but the feds
00:53:46.640
are in control of immigration nothing else would work
00:53:53.120
all right um i saw pictures of an apple store getting looted in downtown l.a
00:54:02.160
and i wondered if any of you have the same feeling when i watched a crime happen
00:54:10.160
um i generally feel revulsion you know like oh god you know these these darn criminals and they should
00:54:19.520
be caught and go to jail and you know why didn't that retailer build a booby trap or you know so i'm
00:54:27.440
always saying the worst worst case scenario but for some reason whenever i see an apple store being
00:54:34.240
looted because you know it's happened quite a few times now i always think if you were a looter
00:54:41.520
that would be the most fun to loot have you ever watched the looters do a apple store and they
00:54:49.600
just go down the line grabbing each phone and you're ripping it off its little uh little cable
00:54:55.280
and it always like every every handful is like a thousand dollars it's like every phone they rip out
00:55:03.520
and take with them is like a thousand dollars but then i also wonder does apple not track every one of
00:55:10.560
those phones and can law enforcement not if they wanted to i mean probably wouldn't be worth the effort
00:55:20.160
could they not hunt down every one of those fake phone well every one of those stolen phones could apple
00:55:27.120
not send a code to each of those phones it just locks them up so they can't sell them i got lots of
00:55:36.000
questions about apple but uh i'm uh i'm not proud to admit that when i watch the looters rob the apple store
00:55:46.320
i think to myself huh if i were a looter that looks like a lot of fun i'm not encouraging it do not
00:55:57.360
loot an apple store but if you've paid for as many apple phones as i have uh you feel like apple has
00:56:06.880
been robbing you for years i'm just saying i don't recommend robbing i'm not in favor of it at all but
00:56:16.400
when i watch the looters take down an apple store it doesn't feel the same as when when they're
00:56:22.400
knocking off like a little grocery store or something like that that really bothers me
00:56:29.040
well robert rfk jr has ousted every member of the advisory committee on immunizations practices
00:56:39.840
so apparently there was an advisory committee that decided or at least recommended uh when vaccines
00:56:48.320
were necessary and when they should be used and uh so now rfk jr has got rid of every one of them
00:56:56.160
it makes you wonder what was it about every one of them that made them so replaceable
00:57:06.560
was it that they didn't use science or that they thought they did use science
00:57:12.800
science now i can see why you'd want to change them out even if you were putting equally qualified
00:57:20.880
people uh tobacco because once people have made a certain decision uh they're very unlikely to say
00:57:30.800
oh your new argument changes my mind and i guess i was wrong to recommend these vaccines for children or
00:57:38.560
whatever so it does make sense if you're looking to make potentially and you you don't even know for
00:57:46.720
sure but if you're potentially trying to make a big change such as you know changing
00:57:53.200
the vaccine recommendations you might have to get rid of all the people who have sort of settled into a
00:58:02.400
point of view because i i think they would be less likely to you know really take any new information
00:58:09.760
and incorporate it now that's just a statement about people in general it's not a it's not a statement
00:58:16.800
about any of these individuals but in general sometimes you just need a clean sweep as i think trump called it
00:58:28.960
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package

00:58:40.480
well let's check on some of the dumbest um democrats uh whoopee goldberg she believes the trump musk feud was
00:58:52.800
fake uh and she said on her show i love that y'all bought into it the trump musk feud and then elissa
00:59:02.960
fairer griffin said oh it's not fake it's not fake whoopee said i do believe it's fake
00:59:10.480
uh she said uh yes i do it's too strategic now how many of you as of today how many of you think that
00:59:22.480
was a fake disagreement and what fake disagreement involves all right here's the deal you call me a
00:59:33.120
pedophile and i'll say you have mental health problems in what world do people make that agreement
00:59:45.040
i mean seriously i i i understand the general idea that sometimes things are not what they seem and
00:59:55.120
sometimes people fake uh you know maybe fake a feud to get some attention so you know it's not like
01:00:02.880
those things don't happen but in the history of fake feuds has anybody ever said i'll call you a
01:00:11.040
pedophile and you you you say that i have mental health problems i don't think so or or drug problems
01:00:19.520
even worse so no whoopee i think we're well past was it fake or was it real it was real and then hakeem jeffries
01:00:40.080
he's still going after the masking of the ice agents and he actually said this in public
01:00:46.800
he said if they are proud of what they're doing meaning the masked ice agents if they're proud of what
01:00:56.720
they're doing why are they masked he goes this isn't the 30s why are they masked to which i ask
01:01:07.680
why would you ask such a stupid question is there even one person who is listening to this who
01:01:15.120
doesn't know why they're masked it's not because they're embarrassed of what they're doing
01:01:23.200
like for a moment i thought oh i should you know explain to my audience why they're masked and then
01:01:30.640
i thought to myself oh wait a minute there there aren't any freaking idiots in my audience
01:01:38.000
like you were all smart enough to turn on a digital device and
01:01:42.080
uh navigate to a show and then listen to it no every single one of you know why they need to wear
01:01:48.880
masks there's no mystery here whatsoever i don't need to explain it but hakeem jeffries
01:01:56.800
he doesn't understand so whoopee thinks that the trump musk thing was staged and hakeem jeffries
01:02:05.680
can't understand why people who would be at risk would want to recover their identities
01:02:14.640
now i assume he really does now but he thinks the other democrats won't what kind of weird game would
01:02:26.320
he be playing uh i think he would be playing the stupid one all right so microsoft has this big
01:02:35.040
conference every year called the build conference and i guess they used to do it in seattle but now
01:02:44.400
the uh according to the post millennial uh they've decided not to have them in seattle anymore because
01:02:51.760
seattle has turned into a cesspool of homeless people and dirt and crime and whatever else
01:03:02.000
so seattle lost one of its uh high profile events um and the issues cited were uh

rampant homelessness visible drug use and urban decay so just in case seattle was wondering
01:03:24.000
what is the difference between managing the city well and just letting it run on its own
01:03:31.280
well apparently you lose the microsoft money so that's not ideal um
01:03:45.840
on the economy so almost all of the u.s job growth under trump is in the private sector
01:03:52.960
whereas 25 of that was under under biden 25 of it was in the government jobs now i was wondering how
01:04:03.600
exactly did biden and or trump determine where those jobs would be you know i guess i can see why the
01:04:14.400
government would not be adding as much under trump but uh it's good news either way
01:04:20.560
and then uh let me read just a summary from uh white house press secretary caroline levitt
01:04:31.280
um so the economy is booming she says jobs are up unemployment is down wages are increasing
01:04:42.960
and inflation is dead more than 139 000 good jobs were added to the private sector all accounted for by
01:04:51.760
american-american-born workers is all that true um i believe it is true i believe that uh individual
01:05:03.520
wages are up a little bit inflation seems to be you know under control relative to what it had been
01:05:12.240
uh jobs are up uh jobs are up unemployment's down everything's good except for except for what
01:05:26.080
the debt every time i hear anybody talking about the economy if they don't mention the national debt
01:05:35.200
you're not even talking about the economy we'd better find a way to handle that debt so the real question
01:05:45.440
will be this did anything that the uh little squabble between musk and trump that they had did any of that
01:05:56.320
lead to anything good um it wouldn't it wouldn't express itself yet but if in the subsequent uh budget
01:06:07.360
packages that are upcoming if it turns out that we do make some big cuts and maybe even ones that people
01:06:16.080
didn't expect that might suggest that musk you know made a dent and that uh trump knew that having
01:06:25.600
him on his side was better than not so we'll see um the i don't know what it would take
01:06:35.280
to make uh elon musk you know not comment on this topic for however long but i don't know that he would do it
01:06:45.760
unless he had some kind of assurances that you and i don't know about
01:06:50.480
and i don't think he would do it for assurances about you know ev credits or assurances about
01:06:59.920
spacex or anything although those would obviously matter to him i think it would have to be
01:07:07.120
assurances that they would take more seriously the the budget cuts in this upcoming process
01:07:13.920
so we'll see if that's the case all right who's the debt owed to a lot of it is owed to ban all
01:07:24.640
