00:00:32.720 we'll get to that we got a show

00:00:35.920 good morning everyone and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:57.680 coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance

00:01:03.920 of elevating this experience up to levels that no one can understand with their tiny shiny human

00:01:11.680 brains all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass a tankard shelter stein a canteen jug or

00:01:18.720 flask a vessel of any time any kind fill with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for

00:01:27.920 the unparalleled pleasure the dope being at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better

00:01:32.800 it's called that's right the simultaneous sip it happens now go

00:01:45.200 so good but how good is it hmm let's see

00:01:51.760 well according to eric dolan who's writing in sci post caffeine may help prevent

00:01:59.120 uh stress-induced depression uh stress-induced depression that's right drinking coffee can reduce

00:02:07.680 your stress-induced depression do you know what else it can do it can reduce all of your other depression

00:02:16.000 too how many times have i felt it was the afternoon and i said to myself uh life is

00:02:25.040 you know crappy and there's nothing good in the world and i don't have any energy and i start to

00:02:32.320 feel a little depressed and then i have a cup of coffee and suddenly all my depression is gone

00:02:40.400 so you should have just asked me scott would uh caffeine make me feel less depressed yes

00:02:54.000 all right um but scott is it true that if you feel sick that having soup could help well it turns out

00:03:05.040 that there's a uh study a meta study that says that there's a good chance that having soup which they

00:03:14.720 call eating soup is that what you call it when you have a soup do you eat it or do you drink it

00:03:24.720 i don't know i just say i have it i would not say i eat soup i would not say i drink it

00:03:32.000 i would say i had some soup for lunch but according to an article by sandra lucas in the conversation

00:03:42.000 um you don't have to have chicken soup but soup in general seems to be mildly indicated

00:03:50.080 for helping you recover from things faster one study found that people who ate soup

00:03:55.760 recovered up to two and a half days faster from your normal respiratory problems

00:04:02.240 then people didn't there's just one one study so get your soup

00:04:09.760 well you didn't know that the department of homeland security when they're not keeping your country safe

00:04:17.280 are also very funny very funny uh case in point the new york times had a guest opinion piece

00:04:25.920 by uh somebody who called himself one of biden's border advisors and the name of the article was

00:04:33.200 here's how to fix your immigration system um let me say that again the new york times has a guest 0.99

00:04:41.680 opinion by one of biden's border advisors and one of biden's border advisors believes he can tell us

00:04:51.600 how to fix our immigration system so what did the department of homeland security say about that

00:04:59.440 well they reposted it on x the cover the cover to the article and the department of homeland security

00:05:08.000 just added this sarcasm quote i was humpty dumpty here's how to sit on a wall

00:05:19.520 i don't know how often the department of homeland security tries to be funny but that was pretty

00:05:25.840 good pretty good i think it's the trump effect does it seem to you that the department of homeland

00:05:35.280 security would go on social media and say something that's just purely a joke before trump was

00:05:42.400 president i feel like trump makes it safe for everybody else to joke around a little bit more

00:05:49.520 in the government so i like that all right according to pirate wires gb rango is writing that uh this is

00:06:01.840 weird so this is a real business that already exists it's a startup that is so exactly what i've been

00:06:12.640 imagining for the cities of the future that it looks like it came right out of my head

00:06:19.840 it's called a pipe stream labs and what they're doing is they're trying to put underground

00:06:26.800 robot delivery systems so it would be a big pipe underground and a robot would deliver things that

00:06:35.040 are up to like 40 pounds but it would be so efficient because there would be uh you know no traffic on

00:06:42.880 the roads it would just be robots zipping around underneath the uh underneath the ground then you

00:06:49.760 could uh order stuff that you wouldn't normally even bother like uh you could order a candy bar

00:06:56.960 and maybe pay 25 or 50 cents to have it delivered so anything you wanted would just sort of appear now

00:07:06.400 at the moment since they don't have pipes underneath everybody's house um the delivery goes to some

00:07:14.640 central kind of a building so you can go get it but the plan is that you would deliver directly to

00:07:22.960 apartment buildings and eventually to your house if you had the foresight to build these little pipes

00:07:29.680 for delivering everything so imagine if you will that everything you get from doordash everything you get

00:07:37.280 from fedex all that uh local delivery it just all goes away and it just becomes a a little door you open

00:07:48.640 to your underground delivery i guess anyway i've always thought

00:07:54.720 that having delivery trucks and delivery cars on the surface of the world was the wrong way to go

00:08:01.680 underground delivery pipes it's coming so this is a real thing it's already being built um elon musk has

00:08:10.560 confirmed that uh his ai xai which would be grok 4 um he says it's the smartest ai in the world and also it's

00:08:21.120 going to be built into optimist humanoid robots um but my question is this

00:08:31.680 how in the world is a large language model going to be safe to put in a robot

00:08:36.800 a robot if the biggest problem with ai is hallucination how does a robot learn not to do that

00:08:46.880 and does the hallucination apply to physical acts now i understand how ai can work in your your

00:08:55.920 fully self-driving car if you have a bazillion hours of video of cars you know from the perspective of the

00:09:03.920 car then all you need is that visual ai and apparently cars can drive themselves but do you

00:09:12.480 think you could have a humanoid robot that had seen enough video of the real world that it could

00:09:19.840 navigate your house it would just walk into your house and you'd say robot make me a sandwich and the

00:09:27.680 robot would know what your refrigerator looks like and you know where you keep the condiments and stuff

00:09:34.560 it would just figure it out i don't know i feel like that problem of hallucinating is unsolved and maybe

00:09:42.400 unsolvable with any large language model so i'm going to be a skeptic in saying that optimists will be

00:09:52.480 successful with just the large language model ai they would have to have some other kind of ai or

00:09:59.600 some other kind of programming on top of it there's no way that you just put some large language model

00:10:07.200 ai in there and your robot will come to life i don't i don't think so but i'd love to be wrong

00:10:13.840 anyway i do think we'll get there you know i i think human-eyed robots will be big and uh musk believes

00:10:25.360 that the value of that robot business will be 10 trillion dollars bigger than the iphone

00:10:32.160 all right here's a persuasion lesson courtesy of president trump who was uh speculating in front

00:10:40.320 of reporters yesterday um who had the lower iq was a aoc or jasmine crockett so the the press 0.62

00:10:51.760 is uh listening to trump he's like um yeah i don't know who's dumber we have to give an iq test 0.95

00:11:00.320 to aoc because she's really dumb but maybe jasmine crockett's dumber so we should have them compete 1.00

00:11:06.880 to find out which one is the dumbest do you recognize the persuasion technique 1.00

00:11:14.240 do you all see it compare to aoc is dumb or compare to separately that jasmine crockett is dumb 1.00

00:11:27.600 what he is doing is making you think past the sale the sale is are they dumb he's making you think 0.99

00:11:36.160 about which one is dumber if he can make you think about which one would do better on an iq test 1.00

00:11:43.840 he's already convinced you to sort of uncritically accept well they're both dumb 0.99

00:11:50.160 what the only mystery left is which one is dumber i've taught you that so many times it's a special 1.00

00:11:59.200 trumpet trick that makes you think past the sale the sale of yeah they're both dumb 1.00

00:12:07.120 all right so you learn things 0.98

00:12:11.600 well according to representative anna paulina luna um she posted yesterday that jerome powell is going

00:12:22.080 to be fired and firing is imminent now that would be that of the fed now i have not seen any confirmation

00:12:30.800 of that but separately um anna paulina luna says that she has a very good source and she's been told that

00:12:41.280 powell will be fired real soon i asked grok if anybody else is talking about that and they're not

00:12:49.040 so that's the first thing you need to know probably probably not likely because uh grok explains

00:12:59.440 that although it's true that the president can fire the head of the fed they can only do it with cause

00:13:06.320 cause and cause would be something like doing such a terrible job that it's obvious it's not just a

00:13:14.480 difference in judgment but there's you know something wrong with you now does joe powell

00:13:21.280 powell indicate that there's something just deeply wrong with him or that he has a different opinion

00:13:29.840 with the other the other governors on the fed uh there's just different opinion

00:13:35.360 so i would say at this point it looks like a different opinion but it might be the wrong one

00:13:43.360 um you know bill pulte is going hard at him and uh it could be that trump wants to test the limit of

00:13:53.120 firing the fed chief because that would be that would be a little bit beyond the boundaries of what i would

00:14:01.600 expect them to be able to get away with but he might try it it's possible i'm going to bet against

00:14:08.240 us i'm going to say i don't think he'll fire the fed chief but we'll see well there are a number of uh

00:14:17.840 good things happening in the administration and i think uh trump's administration does a good job

00:14:25.200 of touting their successes now if you're looking at them touting their successes

00:14:31.280 remember that's marketing and you could even call it propaganda so there might be some you know

00:14:37.840 counter argument to a few of these things but here are some of the things we're learning

00:14:43.360 just today um apparently the department of justice and the dea have seized an enormous

00:14:52.400 amount of illegal drugs um in the country and coming into the country so here are some of the

00:14:58.960 numbers these don't even sound like they could be real the numbers are so big news news max is

00:15:05.760 reporting on this today um allegedly since trump got in uh into the job they've captured 44 million

00:15:17.680 fentanyl pills 44 million fentanyl pills 4500 pounds of fentanyl powder

00:15:27.120 yeah i'm no expert but it feels like that would make a lot of pills um nearly 65 000 pounds of meth

00:15:38.000 really 65 000 pounds of meth isn't meth just like a little powder now how much meth is that 65 000 pounds

00:15:52.240 of doses of doses that would be just like a little line of powder holy cow and more than uh 200 000 pounds

00:16:02.400 of cocaine 200 000 pounds what how much cocaine is that if you saw it in one big pile would it be like hot

00:16:15.840 taller than you

00:16:19.280 and uh they've made more than 2100 fentanyl related arrests now i don't know

00:16:27.840 here's the caution here i don't know how this compares to the baseline could it be

00:16:35.440 that the dea and the doj routinely catch this much drugs um we just don't hear about it is that possible

00:16:45.680 because you always hear about uh the biden administration was doing a bad job of messaging

00:16:52.720 how successful they were and they did do a bad job of that is it possible that what we're seeing is just

00:16:59.760 that the trump administration is really really good at taking credit and that's all you're saying

00:17:07.680 i don't think so i think this is probably a real a real accomplishment but you have to be careful

00:17:16.480 you got the documentary effect you're only seeing one side of it so i don't know if there is another

00:17:22.560 side of it but this is a awfully big success where it looks like it all right so that's one thing so

00:17:30.480 one thing is big success at the border big successes capturing illegal drugs on top of that um trump

00:17:40.240 announced yesterday they got a great trade deal with indonesia new york post is writing about this

00:17:47.360 and i guess it opens up their market to all of our products and they're going to pay 19 tariff and we

00:17:57.360 are going to pay nothing says trump it's a good deal for both now remember i told you that if things went

00:18:05.920 well with this tariff trade deal stuff that the thing that the democrats don't see coming is that

00:18:13.440 since they wouldn't do all the deals in the same day that trump will have this nearly endless number

00:18:19.760 of successes that every day or every few days he's going to be able to say well we we got another

00:18:29.440 amazing trade deal with another major country well this is one of those so how many major trade deals is

00:18:37.360 he's going to get with how many countries and and then of course there's the surprising you know amount

00:18:44.400 of uh tariff revenue coming into the government trump is winning pretty hard on trade the the stock market

00:18:53.040 has decided he's not going to destroy the country so the stock market is like oh we're fine and he just

00:19:00.720 is rolling up the wins now sometimes i imagine he'll get ahead of the reality so he might claim that

00:19:08.880 they have a deal and then you find out it's not really finalized and stuff like that but in terms of

00:19:15.200 taking credit they're really good at it and and that's actually a positive statement um i like it

00:19:25.440 when my government is telling me that things are great and getting better that's what i want to feel

00:19:32.640 i want to feel that optimism that the government is doing a great job and then it makes me think

00:19:39.360 well i can do things too you know i can contribute everything's heading the right way

00:19:46.000 i sure like being an american you know it makes you feel good so trump is really good at that

00:19:52.160 on top of that um i think this was all happening this morning uh trump has announced a whole bunch

00:20:01.360 of gigantic investments in the united states so he announced uh i think it was today the 56 billion

00:20:08.960 dollars in new energy infrastructure 56 billion dollars that's a lot of dollars more than 36 billion in

00:20:18.880 new data center projects that's a lot i don't think we have anything that compares to those numbers in the

00:20:28.080 past and he says that uh 20 leading tech and energy companies are announcing more than 92 billion of

00:20:37.040 investment in pennsylvania just pennsylvania 92 billion dollars just pennsylvania now why pennsylvania

00:20:49.520 is that because it's close enough to everything um but they have maybe better situation for

00:20:57.040 regulatory problems maybe so i'm guessing that pennsylvania has their act together enough that they can

00:21:06.160 they can attract all that investment so good job pennsylvania whatever you're doing

00:21:10.240 now trump has also claimed uh i think this was also today baby that that he's already secured 16 trillion

00:21:22.800 dollars in investments in the u.s economy do you believe that he's already secured 16 trillion dollars

00:21:32.560 in new investment in new investment well i feel like this is the situation where you have to say

00:21:41.120 that might be a little bit of salesmanship there that might be a little bit of hyperbole

00:21:46.960 a little bit of optimism does that bother me nope nope i want my country to tell me that they're bringing

00:21:55.520 in trillions of dollars of new investments so that other people want to invest too because people like

00:22:01.760 to go where things are working right if you tell the world hey everybody's investing in the united states

00:22:09.840 i mean really the investments in the united states or the ai the energy oh yeah this is really good you

00:22:16.320 should get in on this can't lose so yes i like it when they say they're capturing a bunch of drugs i like

00:22:23.840 it when they say the investments are big and i like it when we get new trade deals now are there exaggerations

00:22:34.960 involved in all these accomplishments perhaps it doesn't bother me a bit because i want a salesman in

00:22:43.680 chief who is telling us everything's working out great because that's exactly what makes things work out

00:22:50.320 great you need the optimism to drive the economy nobody does it better trump's the best optimist we've

00:22:58.800 ever had as president although reagan was pretty good bank more encores when you switch to a scotiabank

00:23:09.200 banking package learn more at scotiabank.com slash banking packages conditions apply scotiabank you're

00:23:17.200 richer than you think um there's an article by david harsanyi in the washington examiner titled why climate

00:23:27.200 climate change alarmism failed and he notes that uh there's a poll that cnn's harry ensign is talking

00:23:36.480 about this shows that uh um only 40 of americans are greatly worried about climate change which is the

00:23:46.480 same as in 2000 so in 25 years of of trying to scare people 25 years of trying to scare the public

00:23:59.040 the number of people who are who say they're scared exactly the same as it was before they tried to

00:24:05.280 scare the public now do you ever just read a story and you sort of uncritically accept the elements of

00:24:15.440 the story all right i'm going to give you one right now all right this will blow your mind if it has

00:24:24.000 the same effect on you than it does on me it's going to blow your mind all right i live in california as

00:24:30.960 you know so it's a very blue state presumably most of my friends in my adult life have been probably

00:24:41.600 more democrats than republicans um you know obviously i lost most of my friends when i started backing trump

00:24:50.800 so i'm talking about a little bit in the past but

00:24:54.080 i realized today that not once in my life have i met anybody who was worried about climate change

00:25:04.480 like ever in my whole life not one person now are you really telling me that 40 percent of americans

00:25:13.680 are quote greatly worried about climate change

00:25:16.640 climate change that sounds to me like something that people say to pollsters but is completely

00:25:24.720 disconnected with reality how many times in your life have you been at let's say i don't know a

00:25:32.400 party or a barbecue or a family get together and somebody brought up climate change as an existential

00:25:40.240 threat has it ever happened because it's never happened where i've been i've never even seen anybody

00:25:50.800 interested in climate change much less afraid of it no interest whatsoever

00:26:00.560 so is that different than your experience because i'm very skeptical that 40 of the public

00:26:07.840 uh thinks it's like our biggest problem and yet nobody's ever not once 40 of the public

00:26:18.000 and not once has anybody brought it up where i could have heard it in person nobody

00:26:25.840 now how many of you are having the same uh mental experience i had this morning which is oh yeah

00:26:34.000 how could it possibly be true if nobody's ever brought it up around me because there's nothing else they

00:26:42.640 haven't brought up right you've heard people say bad things about trump you've heard things about ukraine

00:26:48.880 and gaza the middle east you've heard you've heard all kinds of things but i bet you've never heard

00:26:56.240 anybody complain about climate change yeah i don't believe it

00:27:00.000 it anyway um the uh pentagon

00:27:08.800 has announced is uh removing those national guardsmen from los angeles remember they were placed there

00:27:15.760 to guard the government facilities because there was a lot of protesting that was getting on hand

00:27:21.840 regarding the ice stuff well i guess the protests have wound down

00:27:27.600 and the national guardsmen never really had to get directly involved as far as i know but they're

00:27:34.080 being withdrawn would we include that as a trump success i would wouldn't you the the point of the national

00:27:44.800 guardsmen was in case they're needed but also as a deterrent so they were there to deter you know bad actors

00:27:55.280 doing violent things against government uh properties and as far as i know

00:28:02.080 they succeeded so the fact that there was no uh you know bloodshed or direct confrontation

00:28:11.920 seems to be another trump success

00:28:13.920 all right um there was a ceo according to the post millennial thomas stevenson's writing about this

00:28:24.480 uh ceo there's a ceo of a marketing group that apparently is in the business of organizing protests

00:28:33.360 and the ceo of one of them says he was he was offered about 20 million dollars as a contract to

00:28:40.000 organize anti-trump protests and he rejected it so he decided not to take it

00:28:49.200 but the ceo of the company called crowds on demand um and he didn't want to do the the uh

00:28:58.160 the protests that are going to happen on the 17th which would be tomorrow i guess i guess a bunch of

00:29:03.600 protests are going to kick off nationwide tomorrow and how alarmed are you that there is a commercial

00:29:13.280 entity that organizes protests that are meant to look organic and he is completely public about it

00:29:23.520 i i feel that trump is letting this one um he's going easy on the protests but maybe because they

00:29:31.920 haven't been that big or that bad for trump but i feel like the protests need to be branded as unnatural

00:29:40.400 or non-organic or at least paid um so i don't know how many of the protesters are paid but if the

00:29:48.640 organizers are paid like a lot it's not really a real protest is it it's like it needs some other name

00:29:58.400 if you call it a protest we have a long history in this country of saying oh protest i'm glad we have

00:30:05.760 free speech everybody gets an opinion protest is good but it's not really a protest because that one is

00:30:14.960 you know protest kind of implies that people had this opinion and they fell so strongly that they

00:30:20.640 they they had to just band together but if you're organized by paid people who are paid to do it

00:30:29.920 that's not exactly a protest what would you call it uh somebody says mercenary mobs

00:30:36.400 well that's not bad mercenary mobs but that sounds like you're killing somebody

00:30:41.120 what would you call it it needs it needs some kind of persuasive um nickname kind of a kind of a trumpism

00:30:53.040 it needs something we can call it that makes you not want to do it so we'll work on that i don't have

00:30:59.360 an idea for that but but maybe trump does i've just been calling them organized and non-organic but

00:31:07.040 those are not really catchy those are just descriptive we need something catchy

00:31:14.880 all right inorganic inorganic protests now it's actually enough we could do better

00:31:23.440 well this auto pen story refuses to die to me this is a summertime story where there's not enough

00:31:31.280 regular news although there's more regular news under trump than i've ever seen before in the summer

00:31:37.680 but you always need a little extra for political purposes so i guess this auto pen story um the white

00:31:46.640 house is going to review more than a million documents under the biden administration um and they just want

00:31:54.880 transparency but to me all they're doing is making sure the auto pen stays in the news

00:32:01.120 because it's really sort of a winner for republicans wouldn't you say it reminds you that the democrats

00:32:08.480 fooled you into thinking that biden was functional and that's one of the biggest hoaxes

00:32:15.360 if not the biggest in the history of the united states

00:32:19.200 so as long as trump can make you think about biden and how that was covered up and how that wasn't a

00:32:27.600 real government trump wins so i would argue that nobody really cares about the auto pen probably

00:32:37.840 i doubt that trump really cares um but it keeps it in the news so auto pen is more about

00:32:45.600 not making you think democrats are bad people i guess it's working

00:32:53.600 um cnbc's rick santelli on on the tv he says that trump's tariffs are not dooming the economy

00:33:04.160 economy according to the daily color news foundation um so there might be a little bit of inflation

00:33:12.800 but it's too small that you can even know for sure and i guess the cpi numbers were pretty close to

00:33:20.640 expectations the inflation numbers so some say we're still waiting for the inflation that will come from

00:33:28.800 these tariffs and some say enough time has already gone by to conclude that we're not going to see that

00:33:37.120 inflation i don't know uh but i but i will tell you this and i'm going to credit uh dana perino for the for

00:33:47.360 this thought because i agreed with it completely but she said it first which is the right take on the tariffs

00:33:56.720 was always i don't know that was the only honest and kind of useful opinion on the tariffs because there

00:34:08.720 were people who were absolutely positive it would destroy the country well it's not the opinion that's

00:34:15.920 the problem it's the certainty if you had certainty that the trade wars and the tariffs were going to tank our

00:34:24.160 economy well you were wrong i mean whatever happens it's not going to be gigantic or destroy the economy

00:34:33.360 i think i think we can rule that out now right so if you were sure that it was a disaster your

00:34:42.480 certainty was sort of revealing that you're not good at this but likewise if you were just as sure

00:34:51.120 that because trump said it would make everything right if you were just as sure that it would and

00:34:56.800 it would you know replace maybe income taxes and all these other good things well that wasn't a good

00:35:04.240 take either the only take that i respect is i don't know yeah we can reverse it you know it's the sort of

00:35:13.680 thing that uh is a really big ask and if it worked it would be a really big deal if it didn't work there

00:35:23.520 would be some um discombobulation in the economy but probably you could just reverse it in a week

00:35:31.520 all you'd have to do is say all right all right that didn't work i changed my mind tariffs are dropped

00:35:37.440 so from a risk reward perspective was it worth trying it knowing that if it didn't work you could just

00:35:47.200 sort of reverse it and if it did work it would really change america forever in a positive way

00:35:54.960 so i'm going to give trump an a plus plus plus for risk management on our behalf it was exactly the

00:36:07.200 right risk management because the upside was really good if everything worked out and the downside was

00:36:15.680 all manageable if it didn't work well reverse it you will be fine in about a week

00:37:21.840 please play responsibly well uh governor newsome was on the sean ryan podcast and uh if you haven't

00:37:32.480 watched governor newsome speak on a podcast or in public lately you have to see what's going on with

00:37:39.040 this jazz hands do you know what i mean by jazz hands so jazz hands is sort of a a comical way to

00:37:47.760 refer to dancers who are doing jazz dancing and and their hands get involved a lot so you know if if

00:37:57.120 you're watching me on video jet jazz dancers like ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta so that so their hands are really involved

00:38:07.120 but when you watch uh newsome talk i do not recall him being that animated as he is now

00:38:15.920 and his hand motions are not only you know far bigger than they used to be but they're a little

00:38:23.280 bit creepy like he was talking about uh some nuance of the bill and he does the piano playing

00:38:30.400 all nuance all this nuance and it is weird uh i'm gonna be honest it looks like drugs

00:38:47.200 if you've known anybody who was on any kind of uppers i don't know i don't know what it could be you

00:38:53.440 know uh i'm not gonna make a specific accusation but he acts like somebody who's on some kind of an

00:39:02.400 upper uh but again i don't have any evidence of that it's just that his behavior is different

00:39:10.720 and uh if you've ever been around it you know around people who who are using some form of

00:39:18.240 stimulant you would say to yourself oh that looks familiar i think i've seen that before

00:39:26.800 and i hate to say it but it's hard for me to imagine it just happened sort of on its own

00:39:34.080 and that he just decided to change his his method of speaking or something i don't know

00:39:40.160 i feel like there's something going on there but just to be clear i don't have any factual evidence

00:39:49.360 that would suggest you know that's what's going on it's just how it strikes me so as as an impression

00:39:57.600 it gives me that impression um but then also i forget who it was was it was it mark cuban

00:40:06.240 or maybe somebody else who was talking about how democrats need to swear more and do more cursing

00:40:15.600 and i thought to myself is that real advice like really the democrats feel that in order to get the

00:40:25.360 male vote or to be a little bit more manly um or maybe just a little more powerful looking that they

00:40:32.480 could match trump's use of curse words to which i would give them this advice

00:40:40.800 you know when you should use curse words in public when you're trump

00:40:48.800 you can't just take that strategy and apply it to somebody who's not trump the reason trump could get

00:40:56.320 away with it is that he's always in character meaning it's you know who he really is it's not in

00:41:03.120 character it's genuine when trump curses which isn't that often um you can tell how strategic it is

00:41:12.400 and you know that he knows he's giving you the sound bite for the next 24 hours he knows he's doing it

00:41:19.680 and he's really good at it his cursing is never never seems gratuitous it's just it feels so

00:41:29.440 i mean it feels like dropping one of those bunker buster bombs right down the ventilation shaft twice

00:41:34.880 in a row that's what it feels like he lands the curse word just perfectly and he's done it so many

00:41:42.720 times so you know it's not an accident but then i watch uh newsome on this podcast

00:41:50.720 and when he was told that uh uh told that joe rogan had tested in a question for uh sean ryan to ask 0.98

00:41:58.560 newsome and newsome says mother fucker um 0.98

00:42:05.440 you know just because uh he thinks it might be a tough question so he uses the mother effort 0.99

00:42:11.280 and then uh later when he was questioned about how he handled the pandemic he said everybody is a

00:42:18.800 uh gd genius i know some of you hate it to hear the lord's name used in vain so i'll just say gd

00:42:29.520 genius but he used he used the whole world and i'm thinking to myself were those strategic uses

00:42:36.800 did he do what trump would do which was guarantee that that would be the sound bite and that you

00:42:44.000 would laugh a little bit when you heard it not really because i didn't laugh when i heard it and

00:42:49.680 it's not just because you know he's not my favorite politician or anything like that it just it wasn't

00:42:55.760 funny it wasn't strategically placed it just looked like he's somebody who uses some foul language on the

00:43:05.040 podcast it didn't have any effect in fact maybe it was a little negative i thought to myself well why

00:43:11.440 would you use those words without using them strategically i mean it yeah so so no you can't

00:43:22.400 take people who are not known for this kind of behavior you know breaking the the bounds of civility

00:43:30.720 because that's what trump is known for trump's entire persona is very linked to you know violating the

00:43:40.640 these social boundaries so it makes sense when he does it

00:43:47.040 well we have to talk about epstein because again it's the summer summer kind of topic but uh

00:43:54.000 ellen dershowitz continues to be one of the most interesting people on this topic because he was

00:44:00.400 epstein's lawyer and he tells us he knows what names are redacted and who accused who and all that stuff

00:44:08.320 um but he also says that he's sure that epstein was not an intelligence asset for anybody because he was

00:44:17.920 his lawyer and he says if he had been an intelligence asset the first person he would have told would be

00:44:24.560 his lawyer because you would tell the lawyer so that the lawyer could negotiate a sweetheart deal now he

00:44:31.680 did get a sweetheart deal and some say it's because the prosecutor knew he was an intelligence asset

00:44:38.480 but apparently dershowitz never used that argument because he was never told that he was a

00:44:47.440 intelligence asset but here's my question dershowitz didn't ask him are you telling me that everybody

00:44:56.800 in the world suspected he was an intelligence asset except for alan dershowitz is he the only person who

00:45:04.560 didn't suspect it really um and then then i presented you with this confuser um you you know i'm a big fan

00:45:19.440 of alan dershowitz public opinions about everything basically he just has a smarter more reasoned more

00:45:27.360 experienced um opinion on everything that's legal and but here's the thing you need to know

00:45:37.520 if alan dershowitz himself were working for some intelligence unit wouldn't it be perfectly appropriate

00:45:46.800 for him to lie about it because if you work for an intelligence agency aren't you sort of encouraged not

00:45:56.160 to tell people isn't it isn't it a better play if you don't mention it and if somebody asks aren't

00:46:03.920 you supposed to say nah not me and then there's also that gray area which is well you don't have

00:46:12.720 to be on the payroll of an intelligence agency you could just be in favor of what they're doing

00:46:20.560 maybe lend them a hand now and then maybe they do you a favor later maybe you were just afraid of what

00:46:27.040 they would do if you didn't help them but isn't there a lot of gray area that would push both

00:46:36.640 epstein and maybe even his lawyer into a not necessarily an employee of any intelligence agency but

00:46:45.840 possibly on their side possibly so as fascinating as that point is that epstein would have told him if

00:46:55.600 he was an intelligence asset the part that i'm missing is i asked him if he was isn't that kind of missing

00:47:04.800 i don't know um and since we know dershowitz is very pro-israel if uh there was any kind of israel

00:47:16.640 connection would we expect that ellen dershowitz would be the person who would let us know about that

00:47:23.680 i would say not if it's bad for israel um he's very open about you know being highly supportive of

00:47:32.000 israel he's he's an american first but uh still i don't know if he's the one we should believe

00:47:40.320 when it comes to intelligence assets but highly credible on other topics and by the way that has

00:47:48.720 nothing to do with dershowitz i would say that's the same for anybody right if you put anybody else in

00:47:57.920 in the position of being epstein's lawyer i would say yeah i mean if you know something you're not

00:48:05.520 supposed to tell people we get it um glenn greenwald found an old new york times article that uh said

00:48:17.040 that uh glenn maxwell's father's publishing group you remember glenn maxwell's father was a big

00:48:23.520 publisher um that his publishing group admitted in court that uh seymour hirsch who wrote about

00:48:33.120 the glenn maxwell and the father's situation i guess mostly about the father was quote fully

00:48:38.480 justified in accusing robert maxwell of working for israeli intelligence so and we also know that um

00:48:48.080 when maxwell died he was given a uh official state funeral in israel even though he was not an israeli

00:48:55.840 and that multiple former heads of massad attended his israel state funeral again he was not israeli

00:49:07.360 and they gave him an israel state funeral so i would say the evidence that glenn maxwell's

00:49:17.680 father worked for the massad is pretty darn good not confirmed

00:49:22.800 but certainly the breadcrumbs are there does that mean that glenn maxwell was a spy no doesn't mean

00:49:33.680 that so we're we're short of any kind of a confirmation there but we got our suspicions

00:49:41.280 when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every

00:49:47.600 fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from 1.00

00:49:53.440 winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that 1.00

00:49:59.120 cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price

00:50:05.840 for anything stop wondering start winning winners find fabulous for less then you probably saw some fake

00:50:14.480 news yesterday people ask me why i didn't talk about it it was because when i saw it i didn't trust it

00:50:22.160 so my hunch that it was fake news was right so marjorie taylor green is explaining that if you saw

00:50:31.360 something that said that the there were several house republicans who voted to block the release of

00:50:37.760 the epstein files that was fake news it's true in some form but it's the reason they blocked it had

00:50:47.280 nothing to do with the epstein stuff it had to do with the it was a procedural thing you know that it

00:50:54.400 was either wrapped up with something that didn't want to wrapped up with or there was some procedural

00:50:59.040 problem but no there were no republicans who voted to not show the epstein files to the public that didn't

00:51:07.280 happen there was something that might have headed in that direction that they thought had some flaws

00:51:13.520 that had nothing to do with epstein so that did happen but more fake news than real news

00:51:22.560 all right here's uh trump um talking about the epstein files and he said

00:51:29.840 to reporters yesterday quote i would say that these files were made up by comey they were made up by

00:51:36.800 obama they were made up by the biden and we went through years of that with the russia russia hoax

00:51:44.880 now let me give you some advice um if you ever find yourself in a position of having to cover up

00:51:53.280 something and you want to tell a lie about it never start your lie with these words i would say

00:52:06.800 trump literally started with i would say that these files were made up by common comey and the others

00:52:15.040 i would say if you start your explanation with i would say

00:52:22.880 you're basically saying i'm making this up do you remember when oj wrote his book if i did it if i did it

00:52:31.520 it what if you see if i did it on oj's book you say to yourself he's telling us he did it if your

00:52:40.320 president say i would say that these files were made up that doesn't mean he believes that if he

00:52:47.760 believed it he would say well you know the files were made up by democrats they can't trust them

00:52:53.440 he wouldn't say i would say it well i would say it i would no that's bad lying um

00:53:05.200 yeah never never do that and then he said that uh he was asked about releasing more of the epstein

00:53:12.640 stuff and he said uh yes and uh that any credible epstein information should be released why do you

00:53:22.000 have to add the credible part well i mean credible is sort of assumed in all information right that you

00:53:30.160 wouldn't present it unless it was credible but he sort of drops that word in there like it gives you a

00:53:36.320 little out it's like well there is more information but it wasn't credible so we didn't release it

00:53:44.720 now if he had started with that that might have been an easier sale if he said you know what we looked

00:53:53.280 at everything and uh the only things you don't know about that matter look to be low credibility

00:54:02.000 so we think it would just make things worse if we release it because you remember what happened

00:54:06.560 when the steel dossier got out that was low credibility you know wouldn't the country have

00:54:12.240 been better off if nobody had ever seen the steel dossier yeah of course so we don't want to make the

00:54:17.760 same mistake as the steel dossier so since it's low credibility according to our experts um yeah i know

00:54:28.080 i know we told you we would give you everything we had but that doesn't mean the low credibility stuff

00:54:34.240 right that's not going to help you so probably that would have been a better way to start i don't

00:54:40.800 know if it would have made other people happy but it would have sounded at least like oh that's a real

00:54:46.320 reason the other thing that i would have bought completely is if instead of saying that the files were

00:54:53.280 made up i would have said uh we really thought there was going to be some stuff there but if it

00:55:00.880 was ever there it was already removed so yes you have every right to suspect that there's more to this

00:55:10.320 abstinence situation we suspect it too but when we look at the files we have to conclude that either

00:55:17.840 there there isn't anything there or that whatever was there was removed

00:55:25.360 now i would have i wouldn't believe that if they said we were sure there was going to be some stuff

00:55:31.200 there but when we dug down

00:55:36.240 when we dug down there was nothing credible or there was nothing there at all because it looks

00:55:41.760 like it might have been removed and we don't know how or when i would have bought that that to me that

00:55:48.080 sounds like exactly the sort of thing that would happen in the real world

00:55:53.600 what are other people saying well dick durbin was on cnn and uh he says that uh republicans must be

00:56:04.080 hiding something because they're not as forthcoming as they could be with the epstein files now that's a

00:56:10.240 really good political attack and it looks like a little bit like what even republicans think is

00:56:16.560 true which makes it a good political attack i don't know if there's any truth to it but it's a good

00:56:23.440 political attack um speaker mike johnson says he supports the idea of a galane maxwell testifying to

00:56:34.320 congress so i guess that's an option that got floated he was talking to benny johnson so benny johnson got

00:56:41.680 an exclusive on that and uh mike johnson said i'm for transparency we should put everything out there

00:56:49.600 and let the people decide blah blah blah blah so that's always the right answer you have to say you're

00:56:56.800 for transparency uh thomas massey introduced a uh a discharge petition to compel the department of

00:57:06.880 justice to release all relevant epstein documents

00:57:13.680 so that's happening um i don't know if that's going to get any purchase but at least there's some motion to

00:57:20.720 release everything um here's what i would like to see and ask yourself why you haven't seen this yet

00:57:32.800 i would like to see all the guards just the regular guards not the management

00:57:38.640 not the warden but just the regular guards who worked in that area of the jail when epstein died

00:57:45.840 why have we never seen them in public because i did hear through a source which i think is probably

00:57:56.000 credible that there would be at least one of those guards who would tell you that the fbi took the

00:58:02.880 video away and there was nothing wrong with the cameras and they told them to shut up about it now

00:58:08.720 i can't guarantee that that's true i'm just saying that i heard it through a source that i don't have

00:58:16.480 any reason to question that there is a guard who has told somebody in person yeah i was there the fbi

00:58:24.800 took the video there was nothing wrong with the cameras now i'll say it again i don't know that that's

00:58:30.720 true right because i'm not i didn't talk to a source directly but why have we never heard from the other

00:58:39.440 guards there must be what maybe a dozen guards who were there or have you know direct or indirect

00:58:49.120 knowledge of what happened because there's no way you could keep all of that from all the guards

00:58:55.760 so there might be somebody who has something to talk about well of course the democrats would like to

00:59:02.320 make a big deal about the division in the mega base because some people are mad at trump and uh so

00:59:12.000 there's a publication a left-leaning publication called the bulwark where somebody called will summer

00:59:18.720 was writing an article about the quote um epstein's civil war and mega and it listed on the cover five uh

00:59:30.640 mega i guess mega personalities who were in this alleged uh epstein's civil war so the names of

00:59:39.680 they said are in this civil war are roger stone tucker carlson steve bannon and me

00:59:48.960 so there were only four uh figures who were mentioned you know on the cover anyways the cover

00:59:55.440 art so my pictures on the cover of the story etc now did you know there's an epstein civil war

01:00:03.120 that i i feel like i'm in a civil war nobody told me i thought i was just talking about it and speculating

01:00:12.480 what could be true and letting my audience know am i in some kind of civil war have i ever said uh you

01:00:22.080 know don't vote for trump because of this no absolutely not i i think that it's trivial

01:00:30.320 and that whatever the reason is even if it's the wrong reason are you going to throw everything

01:00:37.200 that you've gained away because of the one thing well some people say yes and that would be your

01:00:45.520 privilege to do that i would say don't but i don't know that any of these people

01:00:52.880 roger stone tucker carlson steve bannon or scott adams would any of those people say you shouldn't

01:01:00.080 vote for republicans in the midterm i don't think we would would any of them say you should stop

01:01:08.800 supporting trump in all the other things you might want to get done i don't think anybody said that

01:01:15.520 so a lot of people are sure that voters will decide to stay home and they might

01:01:25.600 but i i just would disagree with the civil war part what i think is that the democrats convinced

01:01:33.280 themselves that trump supporters were a cult and that we agreed on everything no matter what it was

01:01:40.800 and then when they see quite obviously that that's not the case instead of going back to their own

01:01:46.640 assumption and saying oh i guess we've been wrong for years they were never a cult it's just that they

01:01:53.600 were on the same page that the followers and trump were in favor of strong borders we weren't in favor

01:02:01.200 of it because trump told us to be in favor of it and we were part of a cult no we just have the same

01:02:08.160 opinion so when it got to epstein and the opinions legitimately were different well then everybody

01:02:15.520 can see oh it's not a cult so the way this this story should have been written is uh you thought

01:02:23.280 magga was a cult you're totally wrong here's why but instead it turned into epstein civil war as if

01:02:33.280 as if as if i couldn't have a conversation with roger stone tucker carlson or steve bannon

01:02:40.320 and and somehow it wouldn't go well of course it would we probably wouldn't even agree disagree on

01:02:46.800 much if we're you know really hammering it down all right in other news uh omg the o'keefe media group

01:02:56.160 got a hidden video camera conversation with a johnson johnson lead scientist now let me give us a give

01:03:06.720 some advice to the other lead scientists involved in uh uh covet vaccinations if you go on a date

01:03:16.560 don't talk about the things you got away with in your day job don't do it because there's a good

01:03:25.920 chance your date works for uh james o'keefe but apparently this uh lead scientist for j and j uh

01:03:35.120 covet vaccine area said um that the vaccine was quote not safe and effective and it lacked research and it

01:03:43.520 was rushed and he said people wanted it so we gave it to them and he said quote do you have any idea

01:03:51.360 the lack of research that was done on those products he was talking about the vaccines that's that's a

01:03:58.320 lead scientist who basically threw his company completely under the bus so there's that he said i

01:04:09.040 mean we basically just had a race to figure out who could solve it best meaning the various um

01:04:15.600 companies trying to make a vaccine he goes at one point we just canned it meaning we we canned the

01:04:24.160 you know the appropriate process so uh then james o'keefe shows up like he does in these situations

01:04:34.400 and he says are you so and so and the guy tried to the guy tried to say that he had the identity wrong

01:04:44.320 so that didn't work out claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my

01:04:49.440 match all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car

01:04:54.800 on her backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto 1.00

01:05:00.960 service centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a

01:05:05.680 rental car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on

01:05:11.760 time intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply according to breitbart uh the make

01:05:21.280 america healthy again thing is is working a little bit because 35 of us food industry is committed to

01:05:28.800 removing artificial dyes from the food you know i have the following question um

01:05:38.560 were artificial dyes like right at the top of the list of things that were maybe killing us

01:05:46.800 because the artificial dyes you know i'd always heard the issue but i never really thought

01:05:52.960 i thought that was a top three top five health concern um but maybe it was maybe it was much worse

01:06:03.040 than i imagined so 35 is a good start but it makes me wonder is there something we should have been

01:06:10.160 focusing on a little bit more like just processed foods in general yeah anyway and and i'm a skeptic on the

01:06:20.400 seed oil stuff um i've i've seen arguments on both sides i don't know how to you know create a winner from

01:06:28.640 that anyway uh trump is also going after adam schiff for his alleged mortgage fraud which involved uh

01:06:40.080 having a house in maryland so that would be you know close to dc so that's where he would say most of

01:06:45.520 the time but also having a condo in california which allows him to say he's a resident of california

01:06:52.080 so that's how he can be our senator um but the problem is that he told the banks or the irs

01:07:01.360 or both that they were uh both um primary residents but legally you can only have one primary residence

01:07:09.920 so uh trump is calling him out for claiming that he had two primary residents which is not legal

01:07:19.840 and i guess the documentation is pretty clear so there's not much question on the factual part

01:07:26.720 um i believe we have the documents that show that he claimed they were both primary residents now that

01:07:34.400 would be a problem um so but schiff responded to trump and he said this so the president today is

01:07:45.760 accusing me of fraud and the basis of his accusation is that i own a home in maryland and i own my home in

01:07:52.800 california big surprise members of congress almost all of them own more than one home or rent more than

01:07:59.520 one home because we're required to be on both coasts so he is using my ownership of two homes to make a

01:08:07.840 false claim of mortgage fraud so do you see what shifted there he acted as though the complaint is

01:08:16.720 that he has two homes that's not the complaint that that was never that was never even an issue of course

01:08:27.360 trump knows as i know and probably most of you know that if you're an elected official from some state

01:08:36.000 that's far away from washington dc you almost certainly have to have a place to stay where you

01:08:42.080 live and a place to stay where you work because you're going to be there most of the year so no it's

01:08:48.400 not about having two homes it's about uh specifying that both of them are your primary residents

01:08:55.440 because that allows you to save money so it's a a uh is it a tax savings i think it's a tax saving thing

01:09:06.320 so the designated liar as i call him adam schiff does it again um according to the daily caller news

01:09:17.360 foundation marianne angela is writing that uh according to one pollster gop pollster if you throw in

01:09:25.920 elon musk's uh america party which we think will be formed because musk says he's going to form it

01:09:33.840 uh the the dem the republicans would lose the midterms so if uh elon musk does not create a third

01:09:44.480 party uh republicans have a narrow advantage in the midterms i i think other pollsters have it the

01:09:51.920 other way but whatever it is it's going to be close you know narrow advantage one way or the other but if

01:09:57.840 you throw in the third party the america party um it looks like that gives the democrats a closer to

01:10:05.920 something like a clean wind in the midterms so do you believe that elon musk would

01:10:16.640 finalize that party and no knowing that it would cost the control of the congress would he do that

01:10:27.520 would there be a principle involved or um some bigger risk reward benefit that i'm not aware of

01:10:36.880 uh i have some trouble believing that he would really do that because i don't think he could

01:10:43.920 recover from that reputationally if elon musk personally through his own efforts created that

01:10:52.400 third party and and what the public came to believe is that that's the only reason that the democrats

01:10:59.280 had a great midterm even if it's not true uh that would be very bad for elon musk's you know brand

01:11:11.040 going forward because everybody can see it coming if it were a surprise and nobody could have seen it

01:11:17.920 coming then you say yourself all right well he gambled he got that one wrong we wish it hadn't happened

01:11:24.480 but if you know what the impact is you're gonna have to own that impact

01:11:30.400 do you think he wants to do that i'm gonna bet against it um you know anything's possible but i'm gonna say

01:11:40.960 there's a 65 percent chance that he decides it would be too much of a cost to the country

01:11:50.480 as well as to him and his counties if you were a stockholder well i am a stockholder in tesla

01:11:59.280 and you knew that the head of tesla was going to do something that would permanently piss off at least

01:12:07.200 half of the country would you be okay with that as a stockholder i'm not okay with it i'm not okay

01:12:16.080 with it i mean he's got free speech and he has the right to do it but i'm not okay with it not even a

01:12:21.600 little bit all right um i saw an article by daniel greenfield who uh talked about some polling in gaza

01:12:36.480 and let me see if you can guess what the answer is before i tell you you ready for this um how many

01:12:45.680 how many palace well actually how many residents of gaza um and i guess resident means that you had

01:12:55.920 lived there or you are living there i don't know how many people are still there but how many residents

01:13:00.960 of gaza the gazans uh believe that hamas is winning the war so far

01:13:06.800 believe that they got that hamas is winning the war right now 23 percent

01:13:19.680 23 percent of the residents of gaza believe that hamas is winning the war with the idf how

01:13:29.920 you know uh we always joke there's you know if you're new to the podcast here there's a running

01:13:37.840 joke that doesn't matter what the topic of the poll is roughly one in four people will have the wrong

01:13:44.880 answer no matter what now how in the world could you be a resident of gaza that's completely leveled

01:13:55.120 and and and hamas is hiding underground and getting wiped out a little by you know every day how in

01:14:02.800 the world do you conclude that they're winning amazing but uh apparently 58 percent of people in or

01:14:13.920 from gaza acknowledge that october 7th was a mistake um and that's way down after october 7th when it was fresh

01:14:24.560 72 percent of the residents thought that the hamas attack was a good idea what

01:14:34.800 what you would think at this point it would be obvious that was a bad idea but no

01:14:44.080 all right

01:14:44.400 um zelensky has said that uh biden couldn't end the war with ukraine and russia but he says a quote

01:14:55.680 i'm confident president trump can to which i say oh zelensky finally figuring out how to play this

01:15:05.760 zelensky you don't go to the oval office and try to embarrass our president that's not going to work out

01:15:12.160 and it didn't here's what you need to be doing uh biden couldn't get it done but i'm confident

01:15:18.880 president trump can all right now we're talking you should be flattering him you should be complimenting

01:15:26.880 his successes so far you should be saying that nobody in the world but donald trump would be the

01:15:34.480 right person to end this war why because that's what you that's what gets you some cooperation

01:15:40.640 you know you show some respect you're gonna get some back and at the moment he's gonna get a bunch of

01:15:47.120 weapons that the u.s has sent him um and uh

01:15:51.360 uh he also he also uses the uh the trump idea remember when trump would threaten uh she and

01:16:04.400 threaten putin and say well they only have to believe there's a 10 chance they'll go through with

01:16:09.520 it um and zelensky is borrowing that technique talking about the offensive weapons that trump is

01:16:18.160 going to give him he says any offensive weapons provided by the us could force putin to come to

01:16:23.520 the negotiating table here's the important part even if those weapons are never used

01:16:30.880 that's a trumpism trump is the one who says i don't have to do the threat you just have to think

01:16:37.920 there's a 10 chance i might and then you're going to get real serious about negotiating

01:16:43.280 zelensky's borrowing his technique we don't have to use the weapons it might be enough that putin knows

01:16:50.560 we could there you go yeah he's uh pacing trump in just the right way at least at least that day

01:17:03.200 um trump was asked about the report that he seemed to be in favor of zelensky bombing moscow

01:17:10.960 use it not bombing but sending missiles into moscow using the better um weapons that trump and america 0.55

01:17:19.520 are planning to provide but trump says no the zelensky should not bomb moscow um despite the fact that

01:17:29.760 trump did say he wanted putin to feel some pain so the daily mail emily goodin is writing about this

01:17:37.040 um but there was a conversation in which trump may have asked zelensky if he could bomb if he could

01:17:45.520 attack moscow with the american weapons and i think that zelensky said yes but it was more of a what's

01:17:54.800 possible you know what's doable it wasn't a suggestion to do it so trump does not support attacking moscow

01:18:04.320 but if zelensky did attack moscow i don't know if trump would be unhappy would he he's just saying

01:18:16.720 he's not in favor of it but if somebody did it anyway could it put enough pressure on putin that

01:18:24.000 he'd want to end the war i don't think so i don't think that zelensky could um destroy enough of moscow 0.74

01:18:31.280 that would do anything except increase putin's support because once you attack somebody's capital

01:18:39.200 well people are going to back whoever's in charge of the country so it's not going to i don't think

01:18:44.320 it's going to hurt putin even if zelensky took out part of moscow so probably a bad idea

01:18:50.880 putin responded to trump's threats that they would put 100 tariffs on anybody who was doing business

01:19:02.240 with russia um trump's or putin's response to that was that a kremlin official says trump's threats of

01:19:11.280 tariffs are serious and putin will comment if necessary he'll comment if necessary isn't that

01:19:21.120 really putin just dismissing the whole risk of tariffs i'll comment if necessary but honestly it

01:19:30.800 doesn't look like it's going to be necessary so he's sort of brushing that off um and then oan was

01:19:40.880 talking about how uh um the chief pentagon correspondent oh um looking at my own notes here

01:19:51.840 um apparently the department of defense has contracts with some ai companies at least three of them

01:19:59.360 so google open ai and x ai and i think anthropic so they have these gigantic um contracts for ai

01:20:11.280 that i believe is tied to their drone um plans so remember i told you that within three years the ukraine

01:20:20.800 front line with russia will be an all robot war there won't be people because the people will be 0.59

01:20:28.240 killed instantly by all the drones that have ai and are making their own decisions about who to attack

01:20:34.720 and when so apparently the us is trying to sort of leapfrog the other drone makers where you need a

01:20:44.320 person to control each one and if we could build a whole bunch of drones in the us and provide them to 0.95

01:20:51.840 ukraine and those drones and those drones had ai built in so you didn't need the human operator for every

01:20:58.400 moment of its flight um that could change the war now what i don't know is if russia with the help of

01:21:08.480 china presumably could match uh all the unguided ai drones that the u.s is likely to provide

01:21:18.800 they could probably beat us in quantity but could they beat us in ai plus drones

01:21:27.440 and that's where i think we might have an advantage and that's why i think it'll turn into just a drone

01:21:32.000 war so that's my prediction within three years no humans on the front lines it'll be the first robot

01:21:39.280 war in the history of humanity all right people that's all i have to say today i'm gonna talk to the

01:21:48.480 beloved subscribers on locals because they're the best you're pretty awesome too
