00:00:21.200
yeah not bad let's get your comments working and then i got a show for you oh yeah
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
00:01:51.760
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
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
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
00:11:00.320
to aoc because she's really dumb but maybe jasmine crockett's dumber so we should have them compete
00:11:06.880
to find out which one is the dumbest do you recognize the persuasion technique
00:11:14.240
do you all see it compare to aoc is dumb or compare to separately that jasmine crockett is dumb
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
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
00:11:43.840
he's already convinced you to sort of uncritically accept well they're both dumb
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
00:11:59.200
trumpet trick that makes you think past the sale the sale of yeah they're both dumb
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
00:16:19.280
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
00:25:16.640
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
00:27:08.800
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
00:28:13.920
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

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
00:42:05.440
you know just because uh he thinks it might be a tough question so he uses the mother effort
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
00:49:53.440
winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that
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
00:55:36.240
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
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
01:14:44.400
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
01:15:51.360
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
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
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
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
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
01:21:55.680
but the local subscribers oh man they're the best um don't be jealous all right the rest of you i'll
01:22:05.680
see you tomorrow same time same place thanks for joining i hope you got something out of it and locals
01:22:25.680
to stay in the値段 and not uh you're the best this time set um here i feel that's my
