Transcript
00:00:06.160
good morning everyone and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called
00:00:11.680
coffee with scott edams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take this
00:00:17.760
experience up to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains
00:00:25.520
well all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass of tankard chalice or stein a canteen jug
00:00:33.760
or flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for
00:00:41.040
the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine end of the day the thing that makes everything better
00:00:45.600
it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:00:58.240
all right well we're off to a slow start but where do you see the finish oh gets better every minute
00:01:07.360
well the uh political news is a little bit boring today so a little bit more about technology
00:01:15.280
google has uh released a new app called doppel d-o-p-p-l which is weird because years ago
00:01:25.440
i tried to create this app and the name i picked for it was doppelganger
00:01:32.800
so they they've actually recreated an app that i actually formed a company and tried to create
00:01:38.960
years ago before ai so theirs works a lot better than mine it's called doppel and what it does since
00:01:49.360
you probably wonder is uh it puts you in the clothing that you're looking at buying so if you're looking
00:01:57.040
at a shirt or a dress to buy you can see yourself in that shirt or dress so the ai will put you in it
00:02:05.120
now that is very cool i i think i told you um when i was trying to invent my version since that was
00:02:13.600
before ai could do this um my version was to find somebody who looks just like you and found a nice shirt
00:02:21.760
because there's always somebody who's exactly your size and would be confused for you if if you're in
00:02:31.680
the same room so you just find that person wherever they are on earth and if they say hey i got a new
00:02:38.640
outfit well you just look at their outfit and say well if it works for you it'd probably work for me
00:02:45.040
but uh google has a better one um now the uh snap app has uh glasses so they've got those uh augmented
00:02:59.760
reality glasses and now there's a third party who's made an ad blocker for people wearing glasses in the
00:03:08.640
real world you know the snap special ai glasses so what it does is if you're walking past a
00:03:16.480
advertisement in a window or a sign that has an advertisement it blocks it
00:03:23.680
so instead of blocking your ads on your online stuff it blocks advertisements in the real world
00:03:30.640
i don't know how many people need that i kind of i kind of don't mind advertisements in the real world
00:03:39.280
i only i only just like them when they're digital but anyway that's it that's a real product already
00:03:48.240
well according to fox news kurt nutsen i think that's how you say his name nothing um there's a robot run
00:03:58.720
convenience store called ven hub that's got two robotic arms that run around and grab whatever it is
00:04:06.480
you've ordered on your app now i i can't tell if this is the beginning of something big or more of a
00:04:16.160
novelty because you know there's going to be this long period of time where people are trying out all
00:04:23.200
kinds of cool ai robot things and some of them will be really successful and some of them will be
00:04:30.640
novelties we don't know what this one will be but we won't need human beings to run our convenience stores
00:04:40.320
have you ever seen the uh the estimates of what is the biggest expense for a convenience store
00:04:47.920
now other than buying the product but the biggest expense you would think would be
00:04:56.720
you know employee salaries and it might be it might be salaries but right up near the top of the biggest
00:05:05.760
expenses um are uh theft so if you can remove the employees from your convenience store you get rid of the
00:05:16.640
the biggest expense not just their salary but what they steal all right
00:05:25.840
um elon musk says that uh grok for the ai that uh that elon's working on grok for the new upgrade
00:05:38.000
is going to come out right after july 4th and musk says it will reason from first principles
00:05:46.560
now that would be very different from what the large language models have done so far
00:05:52.480
so is that going to be sort of a general intelligence will
00:05:58.640
um let me see if i can catch up on your comments some of you are still saying you can't hear
00:06:13.760
so that's kind of exciting apparently uh the new grok will be unmatched
00:06:19.760
um it will be better than all the other ais but will it really be able to reason from first principles
00:06:32.880
they just predict what the next word will be in the sentence they don't have any understanding
00:06:38.560
but you wouldn't be able to reason from first principles would you
00:06:42.000
do unless you had some kind of general intelligence so maybe this was the beginning of something much
00:06:49.760
bigger we don't know um meta has apparently successfully poached some really expensive high-level
00:07:00.000
ai people to go work on meta's ai and leave open ai they've taken eight um key open ai researchers
00:07:09.200
uh rowan chung is writing about that do you know how much that would cost now remember i told you
00:07:17.200
it was fake news that they're paying a hundred million dollars signing bonus that's not happening
00:07:22.880
but it's probably a lot it's probably a lot so meta is really serious about uh poaching high talent
00:07:35.120
and it's working so you know how almost every show it seems like i tell you about a new laboratory
00:07:44.800
came up with a new battery improvement for your cars or whatever any battery and i always tell you
00:07:53.200
but that doesn't mean that anybody will ever build that battery so there's probably a battery breakthrough
00:07:59.120
every single day in some laboratory around the world but it turns out that tesla has been working on
00:08:07.600
their own upgraded battery so they're just finishing a factory in sparks nevada that'll have this new lfp battery
00:08:19.760
so lithium iron phosphate and they're safer and more affordable than traditional ev batteries
00:08:26.960
batteries that comes from elon musk so while all these laboratories were talking about the improvements
00:08:36.480
in batteries it looks like elon musk was building an enormous factory to make a highly improved battery
00:08:44.800
safer and cheaper all right that might be a real big deal so if you're like me you've had some trouble
00:08:54.960
figuring out what the company palantir actually does because it seems to do a variety of different things
00:09:04.240
that don't seem directly related to each other so i really don't know what they do but part of what they do
00:09:12.480
has something to do with you know having a complete index of citizens or something i don't know
00:09:20.640
something for the government but there's a new thing that apparently they've got a deal for
00:09:27.920
and they're going to make a uh some software i don't know if they already have it or they're
00:09:33.040
they're building it but they have a deal for a five-year period to build a software platform that will help
00:09:41.520
with uh putting up nuclear power plants now if you like me you probably said to yourself
00:09:50.160
why do you need software to build like what would you need this the specialized software for and i don't
00:09:58.160
know but i can imagine that building a nuclear power plant is really really hard and complicated
00:10:05.760
and you should make sure you do the steps in the right order and it would be really good if you built a
00:10:12.720
power plant that somebody had already built and got approved so probably make sure that you stay within
00:10:20.720
approvable limits and probably make sure that you can do it faster because over time you could imagine
00:10:30.320
that each of the steps would be a little bit more automated or so might be a big deal if we could come up
00:10:37.680
with a software platform where any state who wanted to build a new nuclear power plant you could just say
00:10:45.680
all right first sign up for this palantir platform and it will tell you the rest of the stuff and make sure
00:10:54.640
that you build a power plant that doesn't blow up i guess so that's kind of cool ontario the wait is

golden nugget casino.com for details please play responsibly uh i saw a user on x uh farzad who asked
00:12:08.560
elon musk uh when does tesla expect to get a three to one or more robo talks robo taxi to supervisor ratio
00:12:20.720
so at the moment um i believe that the cars are being watched by human beings i don't know if that is
00:12:28.160
the same as the safety person um so the the uh the robo taxis are testing in austin they have a human
00:12:39.120
being who sits in the front seat um just in case there's some problem i guess because it's still a test
00:12:45.360
a test and are these supervisors slash tele operators are they remote so are they remote
00:12:55.920
human beings who are looking through the cameras of your car to make sure that the car is operating
00:13:02.640
safely safely so um farzad says you know when do you get down to three to one so that there are more
00:13:12.320
more users than our supervisors and bus says probably within a month or two
00:13:17.920
uh we continue to improve the tesla ai with each mile driven so i do love the fact that it seems
00:13:30.240
impossible and then it seems possible but it seems really hard but musk is willing to push through all
00:13:37.520
of that you know however long it takes however many people you have to have you know what however many
00:13:45.280
people you are going to be in danger just nothing stops them i i love that so you might and apparently
00:13:54.560
the reason for the question is that the robo taxi would be according to farzad well wonderfully
00:14:01.680
profitable once you get rid of the human the human supervisors so we'll see um trump says he was talking
00:14:12.960
to maria bartiroma and he says that we'll have a buyer for tick tock um within two weeks well within two
00:14:22.080
weeks they'll announce it they says they already have a group of quote very wealthy people but it's
00:14:29.280
not going to be sold unless china says yes so you know we're also doing a trade discussion with china
00:14:38.320
so will they say yes because the alternative they think is that tick tock will be closed
00:14:45.040
i don't know i feel like the odds are against it so i feel like even if there is an approved
00:14:53.520
group of wealthy people approved by the u.s they would not necessarily be approved by china to buy it so
00:15:02.640
that might get delayed again well you probably heard um there's some crazy shooter in cordialine idaho
00:15:13.360
who has now been neutralized i guess he was such a bastard he set a fire to attract the fire department
00:15:22.960
and then he shot three of them three of the the firemen two of them died and one of them is in bad
00:15:28.880
shape and uh i guess his shooter is already dead i didn't see if the cops got him or he got himself but
00:15:36.320
the the the threat has been neutralized now before you say is that some kind of iranian sleeper cell
00:15:46.960
i have no idea but it doesn't sound like it if you were if you were a terrorist you wouldn't do
00:15:54.480
something where just a few people come to a remote forest and then you kill them he didn't shoot himself
00:16:01.840
people say um you would go into a crowded area and you know make as much noise as you could
00:16:10.240
so it doesn't have it doesn't have iranian terrorists written all over it
00:16:18.160
um i see that some of you looking at the comments some of you know more about the story than i did
00:16:23.840
because i just uh i just skimmed it before i came on all right so sorry about the victims
00:16:35.520
but it looks like the threat has been neutralized or neutralized itself according to a rasmussen poll
00:16:43.760
um that will be released this morning um 48 of the people polled i think those are usually
00:16:53.120
you know voters in the united states um 48 support a special prosecutor to look into the 2020 election
00:17:03.440
election now hold that in your head for a minute 48 of the of the people polled i guess that would be
00:17:15.600
adults in the united states uh 48 percent think it's worth having a special prosecutor look into the 2020
00:17:25.600
election now that would probably be pretty much every republican and maybe a few independents thrown in
00:17:35.040
there too so correct me if i'm wrong but it wasn't that long ago that if you even suggested that the 2020
00:17:45.680
election might not have been pristine you you were just you were just canceled you got sued
00:17:53.600
it was a terrible terrible thing to say and now even rosie o'donald is saying you know i think the 2024
00:18:01.280
election should be looked into so we've managed to go all the way from there is no way that an election
00:18:11.120
in the united states could be rigged because we have so many so many ways to check it it's going all the way
00:18:17.920
to we're pretty sure that we should look into this that's a really big change in in public opinion
00:18:27.120
a really big change and i wonder if what would happen to the january 6 hoax
00:18:36.480
if they actually found something big about the 2020 election what would happen to it because remember
00:18:43.840
people like bill maher were still in serious tds they believe that the reason the reason that republicans
00:18:55.200
mostly stormed the capitol on january 6 they believe the reason is that those citizens thought that they
00:19:03.200
had genuinely lost the election but wanted to take over the country with their preferred leader trump
00:19:11.040
anyway now those of you who were not in tds know full well that that never happened what i mean is there
00:19:20.720
were not people who believed that that the election was uh fair who were protesting there were only people
00:19:31.040
who genuinely believed and they could have been wrong they might have been wrong but they genuinely
00:19:37.760
believed that the election was obviously rigged and they were trying to delay things until we could at
00:19:44.720
least find out if that was true so going from uh going from january 6 was an insurrection which assumes
00:19:57.360
there's no way to question the accuracy of an election that's that's just off the table all the way to
00:20:03.520
48 percent want a special prosecutor to look into it and by the way 2024 might have been a little sketchy too
00:20:13.120
that is a big big change in public opinion anyway
00:20:26.320
uh was immediately upon the uh the beginning of uh military action by israel was uh taken by his
00:20:35.200
military and put in their most secure bunker do you know what their most secure bunker is called
00:20:44.080
fordow okay that's just a joke he was not put in fordow but it's kind of funny to imagine that
00:20:52.640
his own military would put him in the best bunker they have oh we got a bunker that nobody could ever
00:20:59.520
bust why don't you put me in the bunker that's near my house oh no no no that bunker is not nearly
00:21:07.920
good enough you got to be in the good one the one that's so that's so secure that even two bunker
00:21:16.080
busters would not destroy it would 12 bunker busters destroy it stop asking questions and
00:21:24.880
get in this car we're taking you to fordow okay that didn't happen but it would have been funny
00:21:33.360
bank more encores when you switch to a scotia bank banking package
00:21:37.840
learn more at scotia bank.com banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you think
00:21:46.800
however according to fox news um and people watching the satellite imagery of the fordow site
00:21:56.160
iran is getting busy there so it looks like they're trying to clear the roads and the entrances
00:22:04.080
and we don't know what else they're doing but let me ask you this question would they spend a lot of
00:22:12.000
time trying to dig stuff out of the ground if they didn't think there was some chance that important
00:22:19.600
stuff survived would they were there human beings in fordow there might have been so you know maybe they
00:22:30.160
want to you know get the bodies out to give them a proper burial maybe or is it possible that they
00:22:38.800
think there's a secret well protected pocket somewhere in there that there might be some good stuff
00:22:45.920
if they could find it we don't know but they're they're not ignoring the site they're digging around
00:22:53.040
so they're up to something we'll keep an eye on them meanwhile in another other part of iran and
00:23:01.040
tehran cnn is reporting that there was a ceremony where women would show up with their babies
00:23:09.600
so there'd be a giant crowd of women who each had a baby and they would hold their baby up in the air
00:23:15.520
and pledge their baby's life to martyrdom so basically it was mothers saying yes kill my baby
00:23:26.320
presumably mostly sons i guess maybe um so martyrdom is a pretty big concept in iran still
00:23:37.920
so if you're wondering hey i wonder if they're done fighting i'm guessing not
00:23:44.640
i'm guessing not because they don't have a concept of losing a fight
00:23:50.880
the people who stop fighting it's because they understand the concept that they lost the fight
00:23:58.720
in iran apparently they don't have that concept you either win or you die a martyr
00:24:06.720
and that's the other way to win or your child dies as a martyr that's another way to win
00:24:12.800
win so iran needs to learn that there's a way to lose a war too because otherwise there's just going
00:24:22.800
to be more of it so that's suboptimal well in related news iran's top shiite cleric who's another million
00:24:34.640
year old guy it looks like he's already dead has issued a fatwa against uh trump and net yahoo
00:24:44.880
now the fatwa is basically you know giving people permission for violence against them
00:24:51.200
but why would it be that the top cleric issued a fatwa whereas is that something that the supreme
00:25:03.680
leader normally does or could do or would endorse or wouldn't endorse so it brings me back to my central
00:25:12.720
question is the supreme leader still in charge of that country because i don't believe it i believe
00:25:21.120
he's been nudged aside and that the military is already in charge that's that's my belief at the moment
00:25:28.640
i could be wrong i wouldn't say a hundred percent but if i had to put a percentage on it
00:25:35.200
60 to 70 percent chance that the supreme leaders already moved aside or nudged aside he might still
00:25:44.800
think he's in charge but maybe the reality is a little different all right um according to newsmax world
00:25:55.840
um israel has uh postponed the trial that netanyahu was in so he was accused of
00:26:04.880
various corruption uh things and you remember that trump was making some social media noise
00:26:14.000
saying that they should stop law-faring netanyahu because he likes working with netanyahu apparently
00:26:22.960
now remember i said when i was talking about it yesterday i guess i said uh is it even like a
00:26:31.440
possibility that the israel uh judicial system will look at a truth social post by trump and then
00:26:41.440
cancel the trial and i was kind of kind of mocking that as even a strategy like why would trump even
00:26:50.080
think that could possibly work like why would he waste any time on something that couldn't possibly
00:26:56.800
happen and then it got postponed now we don't know why it got postponed they have something to do with
00:27:04.480
israel's you know vital interests um probably something military something about security but uh
00:27:13.040
the court actually postponed it now postponed doesn't mean netanyahu's out of trouble but are these related
00:27:24.400
is it possible that trump's message actually made a difference or or was netanyahu and his legal team
00:27:32.960
working on this all the whole time and you know they just had a breakthrough that the court
00:27:38.880
was willing to accept i don't know but it does seem like a bit of a coincidence that when trump talks up you
00:27:47.920
know speaks up about it israel suddenly is acting different than you imagine they would act so we'll keep an eye on that
00:27:59.040
well the big beautiful bill as trump likes to call it lots of infighting going on
00:28:05.840
um the two people who were not in favor of it are ran paul and uh tom tillis in the senate but tillis
00:28:15.920
is already he just announced that he's not going to run for a re-election
00:28:21.040
uh i guess trump criticized him in recent posts and said he was going to encourage a potential primary
00:28:28.640
challenger and if you've been paying attention to tom tillis lately
00:28:34.000
you probably said to yourself he's acting like somebody who doesn't want to run for re-election
00:28:41.040
well turns out he didn't um so and then i believe that
00:28:51.760
all right i believe it was uh laura trump who was being considered as his potential replacement
00:28:58.240
in north carolina he's north carolina right do i have that right well so he's going away um
00:29:08.800
and ray and paul he says he's basically above it because it increases the debt and he is opposed to
00:29:17.760
anything that increases the debt so not only does it push up the debt limit by five trillion
00:29:24.240
but depending on how you do the math and what weasel methods you use it either increases the
00:29:34.320
budget deficit by 3.3 trillion dollars over the next 10 years that's what the cbo says
00:29:43.600
but the republicans have come up with some kind of new math
00:29:47.520
that turned that 3.3 trillion into into you know nothing so what they do is they say well if we don't
00:29:59.600
increase taxes that's not a change so you don't count that even though it would increase the deficit
00:30:09.360
that they found a way to pretend that that that would be counting the counting the dollars wrong
00:30:23.360
so i think ran paul's on the right track there um trump has said that if it doesn't get passed
00:30:31.600
uh it will mean a 68 tax hike without the big beautiful bill
00:30:41.840
that if the big beautiful bill doesn't get passed that we're going to have a 68 tax hike
00:30:51.120
how in the world do you calculate that that's that's not even slightly possible
00:31:02.480
i was uh curious how the media would summarize the bill because i have a hypothesis that when it comes
00:31:13.600
to public support um all that will matter is these summarizers because there's something like 25
00:31:21.680
different topics that the big beautiful bill addresses but if you do a if you read a story about it
00:31:29.120
it's not going to list 25 things and tell you what people think about each of those elements
00:31:35.360
they're going to pick out what they think are the you know the top line things
00:31:44.320
and i was curious how they would summarize the bill
00:31:47.520
so this is their summary and you could tell i think from the summary um not 100 with certainty
00:31:56.320
but it's suggestive of what the public will think about it because the media tells the public what
00:32:03.920
their opinions are and if the media has summarized it one way versus another way you could kind of
00:32:11.040
know what the at least their readers will uh think of it so wall street journal says broadly so this
00:32:18.800
would be just sort of a broad summary of the bill the mega bill would extend tax cuts and boost defense
00:32:26.560
and border funding while cutting spending on medicaid and food aid it would add nearly 3.3 trillion
00:32:33.840
to deficits compared to current law and compared to letting the tax cuts expire as they would
00:32:40.640
otherwise now if if you knew that that was the only thing that the public would know about this bill
00:32:49.680
would it pass nope because the democrats are going to look at the part where they say medicaid and
00:32:57.840
food aid will be cut and they're going to say nope and then the republicans will look at the part
00:33:05.280
where it's adding to the deficit by 3.3 trillion and they'll say nope so the wall street journal has
00:33:13.680
given both sides reason to say no you know even if you like extending tax cuts and boosting defense
00:33:21.040
and military you probably rank those lower than these other hot hot items like medicaid and food aid and
00:33:30.160
deficit if you ask me the deficit is more important than all the other stuff so
00:33:39.680
that would suggest there's going to be a little bit of trouble getting this approved and making it
00:33:45.360
popular enough that republicans can do well in the midterms
00:33:49.520
all right so they're using weasel math to uh to make it look like they're not increasing the deficit
00:34:01.760
but every reasonable person thinks that they are um
00:34:08.800
all right so and i guess tom tillis is opposed to the medicaid cuts as well
00:34:14.720
yeah and laura trump is seriously considering running for the north carolina seat i believe
00:34:22.800
she's from north carolina but doesn't live there presently hello how much time do you need
00:34:31.040
to go live someplace and have that as your main residence before you can run for the senate
00:34:37.040
do you have to have just a mailing address there like what is the requirement for residency i don't know
00:34:46.480
but it might happen and they say if she ran she would win easily i believe that
00:34:55.920
well you know that canada had said it was going to charge american tech companies
00:35:03.200
with some kind of digital sales tax and trump said if you're going to do a digital sales tax on our
00:35:10.160
companies we're going to cancel our our trade negotiations and just send you the bill
00:35:17.360
the bill would be here's what your tariffs are we're done negotiating and canada said
00:35:24.720
well maybe we'll drop that digital sales tax thing so we can negotiate
00:35:30.400
so that worked trump threatened them with uh with some tariff badness and canada said all right wait
00:35:41.200
wait hold on hold on all right we'll put that in pause and we'll go back to the negotiating table
00:35:49.920
but uh europe on the other hand um still has one of these digital um these digital services taxes
00:35:58.960
so they have not dropped it yet but they're still negotiating but trump says he's going to deal with
00:36:05.600
europe and the come all the countries they have not made deals yet which is most of them uh just
00:36:11.840
by sending them tariff letters and telling them what they're going to pay so on july 9th the current
00:36:19.280
extension of uh you know tariffs being held off until the negotiations were done
00:36:25.600
um that after july 9th trump is going to say um you can negotiate if you want we're open to negotiating
00:36:34.800
but until then here's your bill for tariffs um apparently the the nato agreement for the nato
00:36:46.160
countries to spend more going from two percent of their gdp up to five percent over time
00:36:51.600
um might be one of the things that solves the the trade negotiations between europe and the us
00:37:00.960
because one of the big issues for trump was that uh there was a big trade imbalance so
00:37:11.040
uh we they weren't buying enough of our stuff but the nato increase a lot of that money will go to my
00:37:19.280
american arms and so just on its own it's going to close that uh it's going to do a lot of work to
00:37:27.520
close that trade deficit so the nato stuff could have the weird effect of making the trade talks work better
00:37:37.200
um and let's see what else has happened um trump is also mad at japan because uh japan's also got a big
00:37:51.200
trade deficit with us meaning meaning that we buy more of their stuff than they buy from us
00:37:57.360
and that could get fixed according to reuters um trump is suggesting that they buy more of our energy
00:38:05.600
energy now i don't know if there's any limitations to how much of our oil and gas they could buy
00:38:12.800
but uh that would be one way to fix it and uh if not i guess they'll just get a bill
00:38:26.800
um so it was a headline that um jake tapper and cnn has conceded on the air that trump has achieved
00:38:37.440
this is his own words jake tapper what may be empirically the best week of his presidency so far
00:38:45.600
now isn't that an interesting way to remove credit from trump they're saying it might be the best week
00:38:52.160
of his presidency so the comparison is not leaders everywhere or presidents you know all the presidents
00:39:01.840
we've ever had which is what i think is the proper comparison they're comparing him to himself
00:39:10.320
so that you don't have to give him too much credit it's like well you know for his presidency that
00:39:17.120
that was a good week so it was reported like like jake tapper was finally giving him credit
00:39:25.360
well i don't think he did i think he just he said you know even trump is going to have a good week
00:39:35.360
compared to trump so it was sort of a compliment without the compliment
00:39:40.400
anyway so uh tapper mentioned the supreme court victories expanding his power the dao being at a
00:39:50.640
high and the ceasefire between israel and iran and uh and in rwanda the congo rwanda thing so even
00:40:00.560
jake tapper is seeing that trump had a good week although he should have compared him to other leaders
00:40:07.200
not to himself senator chris murphy who is becoming like the grinch of the democrats he's one of these
00:40:17.600
angry angry pundits you can always get an angry comment on him he was asked if he gives trump any
00:40:27.440
credit for getting the border under control now if you were asked on camera in public
00:40:35.760
could you give trump any credit for getting the border under control how in the world could you
00:40:44.480
spin that into something negative for trump if you had to do it as like an assignment and i said it's not
00:40:51.840
what you believe but just as an assignment could you come up with an argument that trump has failed at
00:40:59.360
the border well i i wouldn't be able to do it but uh chris murphy he says no he's not going to give trump
00:41:08.960
credit for the border crossings being low because uh trump administration is violating the law to get there
00:41:18.560
and the law that he says is being violated is the law that allows people to apply for asylum
00:41:25.040
you know i guess he was part of voting on that law so i i didn't know this but it sounds like the trump
00:41:34.560
administration has done something probably an executive order i'm guessing that uh says you can't you
00:41:43.040
cannot easily apply for asylum because that's the part that was being abused everybody was just saying
00:41:49.440
uh asylum and then you get into the country and stay here for you know years waiting for your asylum
00:41:57.440
hearing and then once the asylum hearing happens you probably in at least in the old days you could have
00:42:03.280
snuck away and stayed in the country anyway so that's what he's arguing for
00:42:10.560
so the best the democrats have and he's one of their smarter people the best they have
00:42:17.680
is arguing against process again except that the process
00:42:25.120
was completely corrupted so they're not just arguing for a good process which you could understand
00:42:33.200
oh well we had this good process so they should be following our good process it was the worst
00:42:40.960
process ever it literally effectively opened our border to anybody who wanted to walk in and claim that
00:42:47.520
they were you know asking for asylum so once again the democrats have been
00:42:56.480
i i don't even want to say tricked because they're doing it themselves
00:43:00.480
they're taking the 80 the 20 percent view on another 80 20 again and again they're not arguing about the part
00:43:12.080
that people care about was the border open before yes has the border now been closed yes
00:43:22.960
that's where the public is do you think that we really give a about some uh some asylum thing that
00:43:32.560
might be getting gamed by the the trump administration and i don't even know if it's being gamed
00:43:39.360
or if they have you know solid legal standing it doesn't matter to me does it matter to you
00:43:44.960
i only care that they closed it it was an immediate security threat an existential threat to the
00:43:53.680
country you think i care that he bent a rule if he did i don't know if he did but oh my god
00:44:01.360
how could he be so immensely tone deaf that you can't at least say all right it was good on the border
00:44:08.640
but we have all these other issues democrats wow well uh tyler winklevoss on x was saying uh quote i was
00:44:22.320
wondering what happened to the la riots they just stopped all of a sudden makes sense they were never
00:44:28.400
organic just ngo funded propaganda well apparently and i don't know if this is related but apparently
00:44:36.560
at about the same time that the uh fbi and the irs announced that they were going to look into who
00:44:43.120
was funding the protests the protest stopped now did the protests get what they wanted did they
00:44:54.560
make ice stop doing what it was doing no did they get anything they were demanding not that i'm aware of
00:45:03.520
of so why did these massive protests just stop well my guess is that tyler winklevoss is exactly right
00:45:17.040
and that uh the people funding it stopped funding it we don't know that for sure but it looks like it
00:45:26.080
so look how much we've grown up since 2016. in 2016 if i'd seen a national protest you know like black lives
00:45:38.560
matter i would have thought it was organic i would have known that you know george soros might be paying
00:45:46.720
for some signs and stuff like that but i would have thought for the most part it's organic it's just
00:45:53.280
getting a little boost from money people but now i don't think that at all now i think that none of
00:45:59.440
them are organic and that all it is is you know fake protests and you just wait a few days and it stops
00:46:07.920
especially if you talk about who funded it so we're much more uh i think understanding
00:46:15.840
that these protests are fake that these protests are fake and you can just wait them out
00:46:23.280
um i saw an analysis on x i don't know if it was done by somebody else but uh daniel greenfield
00:46:34.160
tells us that only five percent of the new yorkers voted for the socialist candidate mom donnie now
00:46:41.120
remember he's not elected mayor yet he only got through the primaries but the primaries are now
00:46:47.680
something where most people vote and there weren't any republicans voting because it was the democrat
00:46:55.040
primary so if you go through the math as daniel greenfield did and you look at you know and only
00:47:03.920
only democrats and then you take out the votes for the other candidates who's running against and
00:47:08.800
um etc only five percent of the city voted for him and he's overwhelmingly favored to win now
00:47:22.640
does that does that track does it make sense to you that only five percent voted for him
00:47:29.360
but he's overwhelmingly favored to win it could be it could be if the five percent
00:47:35.600
is sort of accidentally a good you know polling proxy for the larger market it could be and remember
00:47:43.280
the democrats matter more than republicans just because it's a democrat town so whoever gets
00:47:49.920
nominated as a democrat is overwhelmingly likely to become the next mayor
00:47:55.360
but uh it is possible uh at least this number opens up the possibility that the city could come to its
00:48:07.040
senses and realize that you know he's not the best solution um let's see here are some things he said
00:48:17.440
so uh trump is trying to label him a communist which i think is hilarious i don't believe he's technically
00:48:27.280
qualifies as a communist but communist is sort of the n word for socialists you know what i mean
00:48:35.040
it's the word you're not supposed to use because it's going too far um but it's you know socialism
00:48:43.040
sounds like maybe something you might want whereas communism sounds like something nobody wants
00:48:49.440
so it is pretty good it's good branding but uh i don't know if he technically qualifies as a communist
00:48:59.200
um so here's what uh some one of the things that mom donnie said he was asked i guess he'd
00:49:05.920
made previous comments that we shouldn't have billionaires and
00:49:13.120
so he was asked you know to comment on that and he said i don't think that we should have billionaires
00:49:22.160
and then he talked about fairness if some people are billionaires that that's obviously a sign of an
00:49:29.120
unfair system now do you remember what i always say about fairness uh i've been saying this for years
00:49:38.160
fairness fairness is a concept that was invented so that idiots and children have something to talk
00:49:44.480
about smart people don't really start with fairness as their standard and the reason is nobody agrees
00:49:54.480
what fair is if you could get two people to agree what fair looks like well maybe you know maybe you
00:50:03.200
could use that as your standard but not really in the real world we don't agree do you think it's
00:50:09.680
fair that somebody could work hard and make more money and then it could be taken away and given to
00:50:14.880
somebody who didn't work hard and didn't make much money is that fair well depends where you ask so
00:50:22.560
there's no universal standard of fairness if there were well then maybe i would say yeah go ahead and
00:50:30.800
use that under some circumstance but if nobody can even agree what fairness looks like you can't use
00:50:37.760
that as a standard that just allows you to do anything you want and just say well i've decided
00:50:44.000
this is what fair looks like so he wants to tax white people more uh specifically said taxi the whiter
00:50:56.640
neighborhoods more and now he wants to get rid of billionaires so billionaire um bill ackman was not too
00:51:06.640
happy about that um and now the other thing that i noticed today is i saw a more anti-muslim um commentary
00:51:18.800
on x than i have ever seen before i think today was the high the high limit of it now i'm not going to
00:51:28.000
say that the commentary was unfair because it talked about for example the practices of the iraqi
00:51:36.640
muslim population and i won't repeat some of the things that were claimed as being standard
00:51:45.040
operating procedure for that uh that group of people uh because it's too horrible and i don't know how
00:51:52.240
much is real and how much is you know certain people but not everybody i don't know any of that
00:51:57.840
but i will tell you that probably because of mom donnie and maybe because of the israel iran conflict
00:52:09.600
um i'm seeing people who would never have said these things out loud just going right at the muslim
00:52:16.800
culture problem now my take on it is not that i'm judging anybody as being good or bad because you know who
00:52:26.240
am i to judge anything but it's easy to say that the systems are not compatible you you can't just
00:52:34.160
take a bunch of you know hardened sharia law muslims and drop them in the community with your
00:52:42.480
non-muslims it wouldn't matter what else they were if they were just anything else it's never going to
00:52:47.520
work so well obviously there are tons of um muslim citizens in this country who don't have any radical
00:52:57.760
thoughts they're not breaking any laws or not offending you in any way and they're completely
00:53:06.560
um but we can all agree that the hardcore muslim version just will never be compatible with
00:53:18.080
you know the american cultural experience so unless uh unless the muslims are the ones who are conforming
00:53:27.360
so that they can fit into the current system the system would have to change
00:53:32.880
if you've got enough people who demanded that change so it does seem like there is more anti-muslim
00:53:40.400
content than i've ever seen before but i'm not going to judge that it could be because
00:53:52.560
well there's a story that the the mexican cartel hired a hacker i guess one of their own hackers to
00:54:02.240
hack into the phone of um of an fbi assistant legal attache who was at a u.s embassy and he broke into
00:54:12.400
the phone remotely so i think the only way you can do that is by sending somebody a file that they click
00:54:20.880
on and it can take over their phone so that's probably what happened but they got into the phone
00:54:36.160
but of course the informants or who the cartel wants to kill so they found the name of the informants
00:54:43.120
but then and this is the impressive part the same hacker hacked into the public camera system in mexico
00:54:51.040
so they could track uh where the guy who owned the phone they could track him in public so it was just
00:55:00.400
like a tv show so they got into his phone and they knew who he was looking for you know who his informants
00:55:07.120
were and then they could see him actually on the street and who he met with and that allowed them the
00:55:13.760
confirmation to go out and kill the informant uh i don't know if they successfully killed any but that
00:55:20.880
was that was a risk that's uh this is like one of those stories i read about a serial killer who you
00:55:31.760
know got away with it for decades and had a you know a torture thing built in his backyard underground
00:55:39.840
and i think well you know i i certainly can't approve of the serial killer but i gotta say
00:55:48.400
he's got some good work ethic there so this hacker i have the same feeling i do not approve of him breaking
00:55:56.960
into phones and i don't approve of his hacking and i certainly don't approve that he's helping the
00:56:02.560
cartels kill informants but i have to admit that took some skill there was a lot of skill to do those
00:56:11.680
two things so there's that i guess the duke law school law journal they sent a secret memo to minority
00:56:23.440
applicants telling them they get extra points if they write about their race so they were being
00:56:30.480
coached on how to do dei without dei so they they presumably are not allowed to ask you know what's
00:56:40.480
your race and then take that into account for admissions but they would be allowed to read a
00:56:47.360
uh to read an essay that all the applicants have to write so they're saying yeah if you're gonna write
00:56:55.440
the essay you might as well put something in that essay about your race why don't ask why just put it in
00:57:05.200
there trust us we'll take care of it so they're in trouble the free beacon is reporting on this
00:57:13.680
all right ladies and gentlemen it's a lazy summer monday and the regular news is boring because the
00:57:22.400
big beautiful bill i'm so tired of that damn thing i don't know if it'll ever be passed but i'm definitely
00:57:29.520
tired of it um we got worn down however because trump is still your president and the world is a crazy
00:57:39.600
place i would expect there to be some big news that breaks because there always is on the other hand
00:57:49.200
it's entirely possible that because the news business will be going on vacation for the 4th of july
00:57:57.760
that there just won't be much news because you know your news is basically mostly fake
00:58:03.520
it's based on real stuff usually but um the news decides what to get get you worked up about
00:58:11.920
and so if enough of the front line people are on vacation you you're not going to get worked up
00:58:19.360
because they won't do the kind of content that gets you worked up so we might be entering the
00:58:25.680
boring phase of the summer or there'll be another gigantic war possible all things are possible all right
00:58:36.000
that's all i have for you today i'm going to say hi to my beloved local subscribers and stock market is not
00:58:45.440
doing so well um all right good all right locals i'm coming at you privately the rest of you i hope to
00:58:57.520
see you tomorrow same time same place all right
