Transcript
00:00:00.160
let's see if stocks are cooperating yeah a little bit a little bit we got lots of seat
00:00:10.400
in the front grab a chair put a cat in your lap and then we'll go wild all right but first
00:00:20.240
gotta make sure i can see your comments and then we'll be in good shape come on comments
00:00:30.480
really not working all right well i guess i don't need to see those
00:00:52.320
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization
00:00:57.440
it's called coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to
00:01:04.560
see if you can elevate your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny
00:01:11.040
shiny human brains well all you need for that is a copper mugger a glass of tankard shells or
00:01:18.160
stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of a kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee
00:01:25.600
and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dope media of the day the thing that makes
00:01:31.120
everything better it's called the simultaneous set it happens now go
00:01:49.040
uh well i saw a little uh exchange on x between uh elon musk and his brother kimball
00:01:57.040
uh kimball said that uh once you start letting uh the full full self-driving supervised drive for you
00:02:08.000
in your tesla uh doing a long distance trip without it feels like going back to the dark ages
00:02:15.840
and elon agreed now i think this is the biggest story about self-driving cars
00:02:24.800
that everybody who tries it is instantly addicted maybe not for every trip and every use but for sure
00:02:36.720
people who try it like it so today i believe there's some earnings reports
00:02:43.440
tesla will be coming out soon i don't know if that's today or not but uh i don't know it feels like
00:02:50.560
the biggest thing you need to know is that once you try it you can't live without it that feels that feels
00:02:57.760
important um in other news um according to interesting engineering there's uh something called the phoenix
00:03:11.760
system for car batteries i guess batteries in general uh in which they're making them self-healing
00:03:19.760
so instead of your battery wearing out and having to be disposed they're they're making a battery they
00:03:27.600
can sense what part of it is maybe a future problem and it repairs it on its own it's a self-healing battery
00:03:37.600
so it's not available yet but researchers seem to have cracked the code and they do it and make it
00:03:44.560
self-healing which would double the time you could use it now um when people say they oppose electric cars
00:03:56.080
they might have more than one reason but the biggest reason i hear is limits in the battery
00:04:04.080
and there are probably a hundred different labs around the world working on battery improvement
00:04:11.840
so i would be very surprised if electric cars go away um at the same time you're worried about the uh
00:04:23.360
the rare earth minerals well um per a historian new atlas joe salas is writing that uh there's a company
00:04:35.360
called conifer conifer conifer um in which they they're making electric motors without those rare earth
00:04:44.880
magnets they're using uh less rare magnets i guess now apparently this is something that people have tried
00:04:52.160
before it's not the first time somebody tried to make better electric motors with without those rare earth
00:05:00.800
batteries uh rare earth magnets but this company seems to be um successful at least in their prototype so
00:05:12.080
we might find a workaround for some of those rare earth materials and your batteries might last
00:05:18.400
twice as long pretty soon well the largest cruise ship in the world is launching the uh royal caribbean has it
00:05:29.120
and it's uh has 20 decks and uh 5 000 passengers
00:05:38.720
um 5 000 passengers on one ship wow and it's about to set sail
00:05:47.120
um so i wondered how far away are we from being able to live full time at sea you know see standing
00:05:58.080
so i looked at what it would cost you to just live on that ship full time and if you had a nice little
00:06:06.800
suite it would cost you about sixty thousand dollars per month
00:06:12.320
so you know the economics could probably fall a little bit more um we might have a good earnings
00:06:24.560
season because apparently uh 83 percent of s p 500 companies believe that they're are expecting higher than
00:06:35.440
expected earnings they're expecting higher than expected that's a bad sentence
00:06:40.560
but um according to the wall street journal we're probably in for a good earnings season
00:06:54.000
here's a story i don't believe at all according to futurism
00:06:59.680
victor tangerman is writing that chinese scientists have invented a system for extracting oxygen water and
00:07:14.000
do you believe that there are chinese scientists who figured out how to take the dust from the moon
00:07:22.800
you know this this is uh the purpose of it is if you want a moon base it's too expensive to send
00:07:30.240
water up there so you'd have to find it somehow but there are no bodies of water on the moon that we know of
00:07:37.520
so allegedly chinese scientists have invented a system for turning the surface of the moon the moon dust
00:07:47.120
into all of these things oxygen water and rocket fuel do you believe that doesn't that sound a little
00:07:55.840
sputnik like where maybe china is gaslighting us about what they can invent
00:08:03.040
i think uh most of my stories about new inventions are about chinese inventors
00:08:09.680
and there might be a little exaggerating going on or a little a little optimism
00:08:16.640
so i'm going to go on record as saying i do not believe chinese scientists
00:08:22.480
can turn moon dust into oxygen water and rocket fuel i do not believe that
00:08:33.120
new atlas also reports that the fda is getting closer to approving a fat melting
00:08:42.080
shot that you can put wherever you have a special fat problem so if you didn't want to remove the fat
00:08:51.600
everywhere in your body but you had a little around your love handles or whatever they could just
00:08:56.960
give you a shot and it would melt away allegedly in your problem area
00:09:03.600
so that's probably what happened to adam schiff i feel like he fell down and accidentally stabbed
00:09:11.120
himself with one of these and then his fat head shrunk to the size of a raisin
00:09:15.520
it's true yeah adam schiff's head is the size of a raisin it looks bigger on tv but it's really the
00:09:25.360
size of a raisin claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my match
00:09:30.800
all week she was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her
00:09:35.920
backhand side good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto service
00:09:42.160
centers in the country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental
00:09:46.880
car in no time i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on time
00:09:53.200
intact insurance your auto service ace certain conditions apply um well according to a new report
00:10:02.240
uh from a organization called do no harm they looked at 23 uh public medical schools
00:10:13.120
in 2024 and found out that they're still discriminating against uh white applicants
00:10:21.680
um now are you surprised that most of the medical schools are still openly discriminating against
00:10:30.480
white applicants no you're probably not surprised because it's exactly what you expected but my question
00:10:39.280
is this um is this calculated in reparations i mean seriously it's been what 40 years of direct
00:10:51.200
discrimination against white applicants for corporate jobs and college and everything else
00:10:57.360
um if you calculated reparations wouldn't you have to include this as as money that's already paid
00:11:08.000
yes of course you do obviously you do i'm not sure that reparations is cash positive at this point
00:11:15.600
i've got a feeling that somebody owes me money and literally i mean that if you did the numbers
00:11:22.800
i believe you would find that i'm owed but nobody's going to do that calculation so we don't have to worry
00:11:31.040
about it well pete booty judge's uh department of transportation allegedly spent 80 billion dollars on
00:11:39.680
dei grants um and did not did not upgrade air traffic control which as you know is at an emergency level of
00:11:50.640
dangerous um do you believe that i'm gonna say i don't believe that he he used half of his budget on dei
00:12:02.560
initiatives 80 billion dollars there's something wrong without a story isn't there yeah you're you're
00:12:11.680
automatically believing oh he said billion but what he meant was million right well that's what i thought
00:12:18.560
when i read the story i thought it can't be 80 billion it must be 80 million right but it does say billion uh
00:12:31.200
i'm gonna say i don't believe that the story i do not believe that he he gave out uh 80 billion dollars and
00:12:41.120
a dei grants no i don't believe that i'm gonna say no on that i saw a post by uh x user crimio
00:12:53.840
which i've mispronounced i'm sorry that uh china's largest shipbuilder built more ships
00:13:01.840
if you go by tonnage than america has built in total since world war ii that's just one shipbuilder
00:13:09.760
so china is just building ships like crazy uh many of them are military but many of them are not
00:13:22.640
and i remember i remember feeling that america could build things and now i think we really don't know
00:13:30.640
how to build things we just don't have that skill anymore and why exactly does china need that many ships
00:13:39.520
is it because i want to control the ocean probably probably
00:13:55.120
um trump is saying that the wall street journal reporting is fake when it reported that scott
00:14:02.560
besant besant besant um explained to trump that if he fired uh jerome powell from the fed
00:14:10.640
the markets would react and go down and trump is reminding us that no one needed to explain to me
00:14:18.400
that that would be bad for the market that being firing the fed chief if they did it
00:14:24.080
um and uh and then then trump said scott besant doesn't explain to me the market will crash if powell is
00:14:33.600
fired people don't explain to me i explained to them
00:14:37.120
uh now i remember a time when this would be obnoxious but but uh one of the things you'll learn is that
00:14:48.640
if people are really really consistent with how they are you just get used to them can you imagine
00:14:57.360
anybody else posting that there's nobody else who can say uh nobody explains to me i explain to them
00:15:07.200
but it works for him it works you know it's a it's so uh compatible with everything else he
00:15:14.000
says and does that you just go oh yeah all right well i will uh give you this useful tip the fakest
00:15:25.360
least likely to be true news stories are the ones that tell you that somebody knows a private
00:15:32.720
conversation that happened when they weren't there those are rarely true in both directions it's not just
00:15:41.040
a republican thing or democrat thing um if you read a news story about what somebody said behind closed
00:15:49.680
doors in the white house it's probably not true that that stuff is just never passes the sniff test so
00:16:00.240
i would agree with trump that he probably did not need anybody to explain to him that firing the
00:16:06.160
head of the fed would royal the markets yeah i feel like he would have known that so i guess side with
00:16:13.680
trump in saying that feels like a fake feels like fake news don't know for sure
00:16:22.480
well keith olbermann um who used to be my mascot uh because he would always say bad things about me
00:16:30.560
but uh he's now he's now weighed in on uh the stephen colbert firing and he says uh
00:16:40.000
that's not because of anything with trump he goes sorry that's not what happened there yeah if it had they
00:16:47.360
wouldn't be keeping him on until may so even keith olbermann um is rejecting the fake news
00:16:56.160
the newest hoax the newest hoax the newest hoax from the left that uh trump is the reason that
00:17:03.280
colbert was fired and i'd have to agree well i don't know if i agree with olbermann the reason
00:17:12.080
they're keeping him on is because he has a contract until may so i don't know i feel like you might
00:17:21.520
you might keep him on until the end of his contract no no matter why you fired him maybe
00:17:28.960
um so i'm not sure if olbermann's right but it's notable that he's not agreeing with his own side
00:17:38.560
well thomas massey tells us that 79 of americans support releasing all the epstein files but only 16
00:17:48.160
members of congress have sponsored the legislation to do so now does that surprise you
00:17:57.280
um uh doesn't surprise me because congress doesn't seem to give people what they want nor should it
00:18:07.840
uh allergies killed me sorry um congress does what's good for congress so apparently
00:18:16.240
um the majority of members of congress don't believe it would be good to release the epstein files
00:18:30.720
um they could pay on his contract and leave him off tv colbert they could
00:18:36.000
um so that's why i don't want to i don't want to agree with olbermann so what do you think of that
00:18:44.320
why would it be the eight out of ten um citizens want to see the epstein files but only 16 members of
00:18:54.640
congress there are a lot of people in congress and only 16 of them are in favor of uh this but maybe it's
00:19:03.600
has more to do with being a sponsor or not being a sponsor so they might be supporting it but not
00:19:09.520
wanting to sponsor it i suppose that's the thing we don't know but um i have a suggestion
00:19:21.760
yeah this is a bad suggestion but maybe it'll make you think of a better one
00:19:26.400
you know how i've been saying that trump has cleverly monetized the ukraine war
00:19:33.680
by saying that america won't be giving anybody anything but if europe wants to buy our weapons
00:19:40.480
then we'll sell them to him so basically trump just turned the war into a profit center for the united
00:19:48.720
states which i'm a little bit impressed with if you can't end it and he tried you might as well
00:19:55.760
monetize it and likewise he monetized the fentanyl overdose overdose deaths by using it as an excuse
00:20:05.680
to raise the uh tariffs on you know china and canada too and i think mexico so that's uh two examples
00:20:17.200
where he had these unsolvable problems that he just monetized and i hate i hate that even if i don't
00:20:27.120
like what he's doing i can't be mad about him monetizing it for the country there's something
00:20:34.880
awesome about that but i'm going to take that to the next level and i wonder if you could monetize
00:20:40.880
monetize deportations um or the you know the illegal immigrant problem here's what i mean i would not
00:20:50.240
monetize um getting rid of the criminal elements the ones who have committed crimes beyond coming to the
00:20:58.000
country illegally um you just have to do that but what happens when those people have largely been deported
00:21:07.120
deported and the people that you see deported next have been uh hard-working citizens of the united
00:21:15.040
states for decades how are we all going to feel about that and my my question is this and remember
00:21:22.560
this is the bad suggestion so if you could come up with a better suggestion that maybe something i say
00:21:29.200
reminds you of a better idea that would be great i feel as if it would be nice if you could monetize
00:21:39.920
the the keeping and the not deporting some of the people who have just done a great job of being
00:21:46.640
you know good solid citizens for example if you said to some wealthy democrats here's the deal
00:21:55.120
um we're gonna deport your your maid or something and what if the american citizen could say what
00:22:04.960
um i would be very sad if you deport my my maid um how about if i offer to put up a bond
00:22:13.920
so i will or or maybe there's some special tax what if um people have the option of saying all right for
00:22:22.000
twenty thousand dollars paid to the treasury of the united states or maybe even paid to border patrol
00:22:30.320
um that uh they can stay but they would have to be having been here for 20 years or some number of
00:22:40.160
time and they would have to have jobs and they would have to have no criminal records and stuff could you
00:22:46.080
monetize it no deport them all all right well here's the thing it wouldn't be many people and the people
00:22:57.280
who were not deported would be the people who had made a life and acted like americans um i feel as though
00:23:05.360
it's not a crisis yet but very soon it will be a crisis where there will be a lot of people who say all
00:23:12.720
right all right all right you have now deported enough people and then there'll be another group
00:23:18.400
of people tens of millions of them who will say what no i voted for deporting all of them you're not
00:23:26.720
done could you find a middle ground by saying all right we'll keep some people if somebody puts down a
00:23:35.360
really large payment to keep them in the country i don't know now like i say that's not a good idea
00:23:44.000
because i don't know if the numbers would work or if enough people would actually want to you know
00:23:49.600
take a chance on that but maybe maybe might be a way to do it ontario the wait is over the gold standard

00:24:59.280
a 300 horsepower robot boat that can hunt enemy vessels interesting engineering has a story it's called
00:25:06.880
venom it's nine meters and it can do multi-missions and it's just a robot boat remember my prediction
00:25:15.360
that uh wars will be fought just by robots against robots i can't imagine being a human sailor
00:25:25.120
on an ocean during a war when there are drones and drone boats that are unmanned and plentiful they're
00:25:33.600
coming to get you i feel like you know we're heading toward a time when having a human on the ocean is a
00:25:40.400
bad idea in a variety of different ways so maybe that'll that'll be a big deal baby
00:25:49.200
um also from interesting engineering the first humanoid robot uh that can change its own battery
00:25:59.680
so of course that's coming out of china another chinese robot company ub tech
00:26:05.360
uh it's created the walker s2 so the humanoid robot when it gets low on battery can go over and
00:26:14.800
just swap its battery out and uh keep on working now that's pretty cool so apparently it could have
00:26:22.560
two batteries at the same time but it only needs one to run so it's got two places for batteries
00:26:29.520
basically so you can hot swap them that's a big deal so that your household robot someday
00:26:37.200
will be able to go all day it would be a giant pain in the ass if you got addicted to have a household
00:26:43.760
robot but the household robot needed i don't know 10 hours to charge and you you'd just always be mad it's
00:26:52.000
like oh it's charging again so you need that hot swap well uh our ludnik in the administration says
00:27:02.320
that more trade deals are coming this week so this is going to be a big week for trade deals we don't
00:27:09.360
know which ones but uh as i have told you the beauty of trump's approach is that they'll be able to announce
00:27:18.000
new successes um almost every week and the democrats really didn't see this coming i don't think
00:27:26.880
i don't think they saw it coming that now there would just be hundreds of countries that would be
00:27:33.200
agreeing with the united states a few per week and they all look like success
00:27:38.880
um so here's the more uh generic democrat messaging failure as you know the democrats are not big on
00:27:53.520
policy they just like to insult republicans and they think that's enough to get them elected
00:28:00.160
and mostly insulting trump so beto o'rourke was on state of the union cnn
00:28:07.680
and uh here's some advice he's giving democrats now i want you to listen to how useless this advice
00:28:15.840
is they all have useless advice uh quote i think that democrats have been so scared of being branded
00:28:24.480
as hypocrites or culling outside the lines first of all his assumption is ridiculous do you think
00:28:32.720
democrats have been scared of being democrats have been scared of being branded as hypocrites
00:28:37.040
not one so he's starting out with a completely ridiculous assumption there's no democrats who have
00:28:44.480
been scared of being branded as hypocrites that's not a thing um or coloring outside the lines no there
00:28:52.480
are no democrats who are worried about coloring outside the lines that's not a thing but he goes on
00:28:59.840
uh that those two things have absolutely paralyzed them in the struggle for power in america to which i say
00:29:09.120
struggle for power why are you calling it a struggle for power wouldn't we call it our democratic republic
00:29:19.280
where there's competition between the sides but no for beto it's a struggle for power
00:29:26.640
uh and then he says you don't see the other side worrying about any of that at all no the reason the
00:29:34.400
other side doesn't worry about that is that these are not things that people should worry about
00:29:40.320
no nobody's worried about any of that nor should you be um and then he says we have to fight back oh
00:29:48.400
there it is so they see this as a fight and a power struggle they don't even mention better policies it's not
00:29:57.680
even on the list and then he says we cannot roll over we cannot play dead so how much of that advice is useful
00:30:08.480
um democrats um i i think you've been scared too long of being branded as hypocrites
00:30:15.120
so stop being branded as stop being afraid of being branded as hypocrites
00:30:24.080
to which i say that's all you got that's it it it's almost comically absurd that the democrats best you
00:30:35.840
know players they have nothing all they have is this struggle thing the struggle the fights the
00:30:43.760
you know the authoritarian they got nothing mayor uh bass
00:30:54.160
from uh la um she's talking about all the uh the deportations and she says quote i'm just hoping that
00:31:02.720
this reign of terror ends i'm hoping that we can get back to normal the reign of terror that is that her
00:31:11.760
policy so her policy preference is to wait out the reign of terror what kind of advice is that uh what
00:31:22.160
should you do democrats well well don't be afraid of being a hypocrite make sure you call around outside the
00:31:28.640
lines and wait until the reign of terror ends all of it is ridiculous they are so far away
00:31:38.160
from any kind of common sense understanding of the country or even pretending even pretending
00:31:46.160
that their job is to make the country better off it's all about the struggle this fight this
00:31:52.800
hypocrisy this authoritarianism the oligarchs it's all empty just pure empty rhetoric
00:32:00.400
meanwhile uh trump uh put out uh i guess he posted on truth social a meme which involved uh obama being
00:32:13.440
handcuffed and taken away now in normal circumstances and we're not normal circumstances i would say oh my god even
00:32:25.280
though i like trump i would have said you can't show handcuffing and taking away and arresting the
00:32:32.880
prior you know a prior president you can't do that now that's way over the line except this is the week
00:32:43.600
that the uh democrats and tulsi gabbard or or the republicans and tulsi gabbard are all talking about
00:32:51.760
how now the documentation has proven that obama and brendan and clapper and susan rice were all part of a
00:33:00.320
multi-year plan to act as though uh russia had been helping trump or at least you know or maybe colluding
00:33:09.600
with him there was no evidence of that um and that it was an attempt to run a gigantic hoax
00:33:16.400
that would overthrow the government of the united states and
00:33:23.440
apparently there must be some laws that were broken by that it seems like it i don't know which ones
00:33:32.480
but my uh my old feeling that you can't just act like you're gonna arrest the old president that would
00:33:40.880
be the worst thing in the world but the reason i would be opposed to that was that i wouldn't want
00:33:48.240
it to escalate and i wouldn't want the other side once they got in power to do the same thing
00:33:56.480
however apparently they've already what we know is that they tried to overthrow the country several
00:34:04.400
times so you're just a few of the things they've done so of course there was the russia collusion
00:34:12.400
hoax which at this point is well documented to have been a hillary clinton obama administration
00:34:20.960
hoax and that was definitely to overthrow the country and then there were two what i would call
00:34:29.040
fake impeachments against trump during his first term the purpose of which is to change the government
00:34:37.200
now those didn't work out but they were also attempts to overthrow the government through
00:34:42.800
illegitimate means that would be three coup attempts then there was all the lawfare when trump was out of
00:34:51.840
office the the lawfare was so far over the line of not appropriate that under normal circumstances i
00:35:00.480
would say no you can't lawfare them back it'll just keep escalating we don't want that but given that they
00:35:07.440
pulled out all of the stops to go after trump i i think he has a free punch i think trump has every moral
00:35:17.280
and ethical and probably legal standing to arrest a lot of democrats and i'm only recently coming to
00:35:26.560
this opinion because even though i think they did bad things i didn't think they were so bad necessarily
00:35:35.040
that they needed to go to jail because it still felt like it was you know in that weaselly you know
00:35:41.760
political realm as opposed to criminal but it does look completely criminal at this point i mean there
00:35:48.080
were so many things they did there are questions about the assassination attempt against trump
00:35:56.080
now there may not be any direct you know coordination of somebody working with the assassin
00:36:03.040
but don't you think the only reason that trump was targeted
00:36:06.080
is that the democrats have been calling him hitler for years of course why why do they call him hitler
00:36:13.280
for years so that there's no limit to what people are willing to do to get rid of hitler
00:36:19.600
that's why they do it did it work well almost if trump had not turned his head
00:36:27.520
then all of that calling him hitler would have resulted in his death exactly like
00:36:33.520
um republicans have been warning for years if you keep doing this somebody's going to get killed
00:36:41.520
almost so i would say that even if they don't have a direct smoking gun connection to the assassin
00:36:49.840
that the democrats created the situation where somebody would want to do that and they were fully aware
00:36:56.400
that they were doing that creating that situation so i would say that's one two three four five
00:37:05.120
five um attempts to overthrow the government trump government and then i would add to that the fine people hoax
00:37:17.920
um was known to be a hoax they obviously knew it wasn't real uh biden ran on it and
00:37:28.800
that was an attempt to overthrow the government now of course there's lots of you know lying and
00:37:34.720
hyperbole on both sides in um when it comes to uh politics but the fine people hoax was really different
00:37:43.920
different because it was so obvious that it wasn't true if you just watched the whole video
00:37:50.000
and the entire news world at least the left-leaning news which was the mainstream news at the time
00:37:57.440
they all supported it as being true now if you took away the fact that the mainstream media was
00:38:04.240
supporting it as true it would just be politicians saying you know bs and we don't take them too seriously
00:38:12.160
but once the entire media is behind it then it's a rico situation so by my count one two three four
00:38:22.400
five six um six direct attempts to overthrow the government do i think that and then you know look
00:38:34.000
what they did to mike flynn that ought to be illegal that ought to be really illegal and you know
00:38:41.840
general flynn is uh very adamant that people need to go to jail for what they did to not just him but
00:38:48.880
try to do to trump and again i was reluctant i was reluctant to say that jail is the right solution but
00:38:57.760
i'm all in on jail now um i believe that probably several people need to be put in jail for a long time
00:39:06.640
i don't know that it will happen because we don't live in a world where that sort of thing can easily
00:39:14.000
happen but i do believe that the uh that the enough bad behavior warrants it and uh i'm sad that i got
00:39:24.320
to that point but i am there when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners
00:39:30.400
i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with
00:39:36.640
the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full
00:39:42.560
price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket
00:39:48.320
those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning winners find
00:39:55.440
fabulous for less um in the truth social post trump also said that adam schiff is a thief
00:40:05.920
he's calling him a thief because adam schiff is accused and there's documentation to back it up
00:40:13.760
that he has two homes one near work in maryland and one in california so that he could be a senator
00:40:21.920
from california and that he's claimed in uh bank documentations or maybe it was something else for
00:40:30.240
taxes uh he claimed that both of them were primary residence which you can't have two primary
00:40:36.080
residents so the point of claiming that was to save some money on taxes i believe or maybe it was on the
00:40:44.240
loan i can't remember um but that would be the thievery that he lied on documents to save money
00:40:51.760
in a corrupt illegal way so yeah um will there be any prosecution for that i don't know but is it
00:41:02.480
warranted absolutely it's absolutely warranted yeah i think schiff should probably go to jail
00:41:09.920
and if you look at the compilation clips of all the things that schiff has lied about especially the
00:41:16.640
uh the uh the russia collusion hoax and the fine people hoax and every other hoax the law fair stuff
00:41:30.720
well uh ellen ellen degeneres has apparently confirmed that the reason she moved to the uk and will stay there
00:41:42.560
is because of trump so once trump got reelected uh they were there temporarily for a long a long period
00:41:50.480
but temporarily and now she says oh can't come back now it's all so bad because of trump
00:41:58.640
all right and then just when you think trump has found the the middle ground
00:42:04.640
and he doesn't need to be provocative anymore because he's winning so hard he does a true social
00:42:14.400
in which he goes after the washington um the washington football team that's now called the
00:42:21.680
washington commanders but used to be called the washington redskins and the washington redskins
00:42:31.120
changed their name to the washington commanders because you know the obvious reason that redskins
00:42:36.720
sounds a little unwoke and we were living in a woke world and uh so trump is saying that he won't approve
00:42:45.200
the stadium um the stadium for washington dc which is where the washington commanders would play unless
00:42:54.400
they change their name back to the washington redskins now i'll say again i'm a big fan of the president
00:43:04.400
you know big supporter that's not gonna i don't think that's gonna change but i don't agree with this
00:43:14.080
do you think that the president should be telling a private private uh business what they should name their
00:43:23.920
team and do you think that they should be punished for trying to not offend people by having red skin
00:43:32.000
in the name but rather come up with a more boring name that nobody would complain about i don't feel
00:43:38.480
that that's trump's business um and if you're if you're trying to uh make it look like it's authoritarian
00:43:48.240
well that looks a little bit authoritarian but it's not even authoritarian for a good purpose is the
00:43:55.680
world gonna be better off if they change it back to redskin now uh i think you all know that i'm the
00:44:04.480
opposite of woke and you know i'm not for every little d i think that somebody wants just because they
00:44:12.160
want it but literally red skin was literally about the skin about the skin color why does the skin color
00:44:23.600
of some people have to be in the product name um i can kind of see why if you were a native american
00:44:33.200
maybe you'd say hey you know why are you talking about my skin color that's not the important part
00:44:39.120
so i don't think that red skin was ever intended to be a endearing an endearing uh label for the
00:44:50.160
native americans so if they don't like it um i'm not in favor of changing it back
00:44:57.120
and then trump uh threw in the cleveland indians into the the same conversation now that one's a little
00:45:03.920
different um the word indian should not be anybody's insult it's just that um if the native americans
00:45:13.760
don't like that particular label i feel like everybody should get to be able to pick their own label
00:45:20.240
don't you do you think that it's inappropriate that every group gets to say all right there are a lot of
00:45:30.800
things you can call us but just don't use this word you know don't use the n-word i've never complained
00:45:38.080
about that um i feel like it's completely reasonable that if black americans say you know the n-word
00:45:46.720
is that's those are fighting words okay but doesn't everybody else get to do that too
00:45:52.800
if uh if uh if i complained about being called a cracker shouldn't i have the ability to say all
00:46:00.960
right it bothers me too much if you call me a cracker those are fighting words yes i mean it doesn't
00:46:08.800
happen to bother me too much so i wouldn't fight over it but if i did if it did bother me i would want
00:46:16.560
you to respect that so i feel as if every group should have a few vetoes over what they're called
00:46:24.320
you know if you wanted to call jewish americans by you know the one of the insult words should you
00:46:31.200
have the right to do it because it's a free country well maybe technically in the sense of
00:46:36.560
the constitution giving you that right but it would be perfectly reasonable for jewish americans to say
00:46:44.000
could you not use that word you know maybe don't put that on a sign perfectly reasonable
00:46:54.640
so that's my take well here's some good news pope leo the 14th um he's come out against uh killing
00:47:07.440
people in gaza so he's against violence so those of you who thought that the new pope might be making
00:47:16.000
a break with uh precedent and coming out in favor of random violence he's not no no he's against
00:47:25.200
violence so he won't say ceasefire in gaza now i would point out that the pope is not into the nuance of
00:47:34.240
the uh let's say defensive necessity of the area so it's a bit of a half opinion but uh it's always
00:47:43.760
good to know that the pope is against war he's always against it well on face nation acting ice director
00:47:54.240
todd lions um says that uh that uh ice will be going after um companies that knowingly hire undocumented
00:48:05.520
immigrants now if you believed that um the current immigration um effort by trump was too slow
00:48:17.200
well that might be changing really quickly because it seems to me if you threatened only only the um
00:48:29.280
immigrants themselves only the migrants then they might say well it's still worth it and if i get
00:48:36.240
deported i'll just end up back where i was so that's not the worst thing in the world
00:48:40.960
um so you can you can slow down immigration illegal immigration by threatening the people who are
00:48:50.800
doing it but their downside isn't that far down as long as they have not committed other crimes it's
00:48:58.080
just going back to where they were but if you threaten the businesses who absolutely know that they
00:49:06.400
have some illegal people on the payroll they know now usually they have to you know check to see if they
00:49:12.560
do have id and they're not supposed to be experts in knowing what is fake id and what's not so currently
00:49:22.480
companies are not prosecuted as long as they check the id even if it was fake
00:49:27.440
however if that changes and you actually see reports of um employers who are saying okay we're gonna
00:49:39.920
absolutely stop hiring any uh immigrants because we don't want that risk or possibly remember i always
00:49:47.440
tell you that insurance is the most predictive thing in our world if if insurance companies say
00:49:56.080
i'm not going to cover that situation then you know change is coming right but if the insurance
00:50:03.760
companies say yeah we'll still cover that then maybe not much is going to change but imagine if you will
00:50:11.040
that you provide some kind of business insurance or even loans to a business and you find out that
00:50:20.240
ice is closing down those businesses that know they have illegal aliens would you sell them insurance
00:50:29.680
would you give them a loan and would the business take that risk when the alternative is to
00:50:37.200
hire local people it's just harder well it seems to me that if you start going after the businesses
00:50:46.080
you can absolutely eliminate illegal migrations because the businesses are not going to take the business risk
00:50:57.600
and that is the sensitive lever here so watch for that
00:51:05.840
as soon as you see uh as soon as you see a bunch of news stories about business owners who were jailed or
00:51:12.720
fined or the business wanted the business because they had illegal aliens as soon as that happens
00:51:19.040
and i haven't seen any of those stories but as soon as it happens it looks like it's gonna um there's
00:51:26.080
going to be a massive change and all the all the businesses will say um we did pay attention to the news
00:51:34.000
and the news says that businesses like ours are going to be closed down if we keep hiring
00:51:39.120
you know undocumented people they will stop right away when i got canceled uh most of you know that story
00:51:48.560
it wasn't because um every person who reads a comic canceled me and it wasn't because um individual
00:51:57.760
bookstores or individual newspapers decided that um they didn't want to work with me it was because the
00:52:06.240
the the most um the biggest leverage was the syndication company and the publisher it was real easy to
00:52:14.800
lean on them and then once you lean on the publisher it's not in any bookstore so i thought i was a little bit
00:52:22.320
safe free speech wise that even if a newspaper here or there canceled dilbert well there was still 2 000
00:52:30.320
that didn't so it was no big deal but when my cancelers realized they could go after the publisher
00:52:39.040
and go after the syndication company there were only two people that they needed to convince to cancel
00:52:44.800
me and they put pressure on them and they canceled me immediately so similarly if ice puts pressure on the
00:52:52.880
businesses uh it's going to make a big difference really quickly
00:53:01.200
bank more on course when you switch to a scotia bank banking package
00:53:05.680
learn more at scotia bank.com slash banking packages conditions apply scotia bank you're richer than you
00:53:12.480
think all right trump's approval apparently according to polls has fallen since february um a lot of the
00:53:22.080
tariff stuff and the immigration stuff seem to be the main cause but it was 53 percent in february it's
00:53:28.800
42 now i forget which poll that was um and that public support for deportation is falling as you might
00:53:37.840
expect as there are more stories in the news of um that that would make you empathetic toward the people
00:53:45.920
being deported uh but republicans if you look at only republicans they remain solidly behind the
00:53:54.000
president so the president has not lost his base pretty much at all uh but it looks like some
00:54:01.200
independents and maybe some crossover democrats said no we'll run back to our corner and stop supporting it
00:54:08.240
well did you know according to news nation anna kubakui mun is reporting that big ag the big agricultural
00:54:20.800
companies are funding um efforts for various you know smaller organizations that you wouldn't know are
00:54:28.960
being funded by the big ag they're going after the make america healthy campaigns and they're paying for
00:54:36.320
fake science so they can continue doing their unhealthy things according to uh according to the make america
00:54:45.840
healthy again people they would be unhealthy but uh so the industry um there are industry groups like crop life
00:54:54.880
and some others and they're going to be arguing to keep things the way they are
00:55:01.360
um did you know uh also according to news nation's report there um that bayern monsanto has faced over
00:55:13.040
a hundred thousand lawsuits over its fertilizer a hundred thousand not fertilizer pesticide a hundred thousand
00:55:21.120
lawsuits over its pesticide and how many has it settled um 11 billion dollars in settlements
00:55:28.880
now they still claim that uh they have a safe product but there have been a hundred thousand lawsuits
00:55:39.440
against them and they've already settled 11 billion that they paid out doesn't that kind of suggest
00:55:48.080
doesn't that suggest to you that maybe there's a problem here i don't know but there's a lot of winning in court
00:55:55.760
and then there's a chinese study that found out that if you have cancer and you get chemotherapy
00:56:05.920
under some conditions and i don't know how widespread this is the chemo can speed up the
00:56:11.600
spread of cancer to the rest of your body just just listen to that chemo the the main thing that
00:56:21.360
is recommended for every kind of cancer it seems might be spreading up the spread of the cancer
00:56:28.720
that's according to this chinese study okay i don't know if it's true but that would be horrifying
00:56:36.560
um you know how i always say wait until you find out about climate models
00:56:42.640
i'm going to add to that wait until you find out about chemotherapy
00:56:46.960
there is something coming down the road i don't know of a specific thing but i can tell you from
00:56:55.760
my own research that there's going to be probably sometime in the next few years if not sooner there's
00:57:04.160
going to be big stories about chemotherapy and that's all i know for sure because i don't want to be sued
00:57:12.080
uh and i don't want to convince people to stop taking it if it's going to be good for them but
00:57:17.760
there are going to be some things you find out about chemo that won't make you happy at all that's
00:57:26.880
well according to yale environment 360 there's a new study that says a drop in air pollution mostly in
00:57:35.200
asia i guess the asian countries are getting some of their air pollution under control uh they still
00:57:42.400
have a big problem but some of it's reduced uh but that reduction in air pollution allegedly
00:57:49.200
drove a surge in warming so i guess the pollution was helping to cool the uh the earth maybe from
00:57:58.720
reflecting the sun or something and uh as we continue to improve the quality of air it should be it should
00:58:07.680
cause an uptick in uh temperature now how many times have i told you that there was something that
00:58:15.840
scientists just discovered that was influencing the temperature that was not already in the climate models
00:58:23.360
quite a few times right if you if you're one of my regulars it comes up a lot to which i say
00:58:36.400
sooner or later and i don't think it'll be too far in the future sooner or later there's going to be a
00:58:42.240
big expose whistleblower who's going to tell you of course the climate models are not accurate and we
00:58:50.080
always knew it but we did it anyway all right so i don't think any climate models had that pollution
00:59:00.880
thing built in there all right i got uh two different topics one is i could tell you the power of hypnosis
00:59:12.640
um at a scale and how big that is or i could tell you that the pure bloods are basically another form of
00:59:25.760
mental illness like tds which one would you like to hear so it'll only do one so it's either the power of
00:59:35.600
hypnosis at a mass population scale or uh hypnosis all right good choice all right let me take you on a
00:59:50.720
little uh a little trip all right pay attention because you're gonna have to connect all these dots
00:59:57.920
right so some time ago i think it was during the first trump administration
01:00:04.240
you first heard the word hoax being used in a political realm do you remember that do you remember
01:00:11.200
the first time somebody said hey those democrats are running a hoax well i'm not sure if mike
01:00:18.560
cernovich came up with that word for that context first but i believe he was the main promoter of that word
01:00:26.160
to be brought into the political context now mike cernovich is also well versed in persuasion and
01:00:35.280
hypnosis and that's i would call that sort of a reframe so he reframed some of the lies and fake news
01:00:46.240
as not just lies and fake news which doesn't really activate your brain because lies and fake news when it
01:00:54.240
comes to politics just feels like the baseline there's like there's nothing to talk about there
01:01:00.480
but as soon as you call it a hoax it your brain says wait a minute are you telling me they knew they
01:01:07.040
were doing it there were a lot of people involved and they ran it for a long time like a hoax and yes
01:01:14.160
right so once that reframe kicked in and then and then sort of did a documentary film that i loved
01:01:22.880
called hoaxed still available i think um i think he got he got a semi-canceled but i think you can buy it
01:01:31.680
now um all right so that's stage one so somebody who knew a lot about persuasion knew that that word
01:01:39.600
hoaxed would allow a little extra traction in explaining to people what was going on which is
01:01:47.520
the democrats were running hoaxes well i also tried to boost that word as much as possible because as
01:01:56.080
you know i have a background in hypnosis and persuasion and i too recognized that it was a more powerful
01:02:04.320
word for getting the point across but then i realized also that if i put all of the hoaxes that
01:02:11.280
the democrats have done on a list and labeled that list the hoax list then it would reframe again that
01:02:21.360
it wasn't just something they do but it was the operating system of the democrats basically that pretty much
01:02:28.800
everything they did was one hoax after another and that was you know a more extreme version than just
01:02:36.880
saying they do some hoaxing it's like here's the list i also knew that if the list got passed around
01:02:45.840
um then other people it would be easy to meme because it was just bullet point lists and people
01:02:52.480
would add to it and it would it would spread so i put out the hoax list and it spread all over the
01:02:59.200
place and people copied it which is fine and they added to it and they built websites with it etc
01:03:06.880
so i knew that that would make a difference and then uh this is something that my regular audience knows but
01:03:15.040
maybe if you knew you don't know this um it was probably 2019 or so i may have their year wrong
01:03:23.280
but what was the first time you heard me tell you that the fine people hoax you know one of the many
01:03:29.840
hoaxes do you remember the first time i told you it was what i called the tentpole hoax how many of you
01:03:37.360
remember that i called it the tentpole hoax meaning that if you could if you could debunk that one hoax
01:03:46.480
just that one the entire tent of the democratic party would collapse now that was not true of the
01:03:54.640
other hoaxes now why was it that i believed that that one hoax could collapse the whole thing
01:04:02.080
it's because i have a background in hypnosis and a background in persuasion so i recognize that one
01:04:10.560
as the most important one that if you could make that one disappear that it would open people's eyes
01:04:17.760
to the fact that the media is colluding literally colluding with democrats to sell you hoaxes
01:04:26.080
and that that would open your eyes to all the other things being hey maybe these are hoaxes too
01:04:31.600
and then the whole tent would collapse so working with uh steve cortez and joel pollock especially
01:04:41.360
um i i considered us the three horsemen every time the democrats brought that up again and it appeared
01:04:49.280
on a clip or in a quote one of the three of us would contact the other two and say you know by dms usually
01:04:57.520
uh they're doing it again uh they're doing it again and then i would i would post my response to it
01:05:03.120
saying it was a hoax and link to things that proved it was a hoax and steve cortez um made a very viral
01:05:10.880
video in which he debunked the hoax uh joel was writing for still is writing for breitbart
01:05:16.800
so breitbart's audience would see it he'd he'd also post it on x
01:05:20.960
so with the three of us just hammering on that thing for years it started to spread and then
01:05:29.600
other people would say oh where where was that link you had where you debunked it and then everybody
01:05:35.200
had the link so but that didn't break through um and we just kept hammering on it the three of us
01:05:45.840
and you would see people like greg guffeld who would you know call it the find people hoax and
01:05:52.080
debunk it and uh i think tim pool was probably there fast so there were lots of other people
01:05:58.720
who were very important to the spreading of the knowledge that it was hoax finally when snopes
01:06:07.840
this was about one year ago when snopes debunked it and snopes is a left-leaning
01:06:14.640
fact check site um that was the point when the bubble burst and the bubble was believing that
01:06:23.520
the news ever told you the truth do you remember that um joe rogan said that the fine people hoax
01:06:32.000
had a big impact on him do you remember that elon musk said that when he learned the fine people
01:06:38.960
thing was hoax it allowed it basically freed him to be able to support trump do you think that made a
01:06:46.880
difference that joe rogan and musk found out that those were hoaxes and said it publicly and said it
01:06:54.080
multiple times oh yeah yeah jack bosomik there are a number of other names were very important in
01:07:02.640
you know promoting the the solution that it was a hoax so i would argue that trump's uh successful
01:07:12.800
second term run um was probably because of those guys and a lot of other people i believe that the
01:07:22.400
the so-called tech bros of uh silicon valley i believe yeah bill ackman is another one who mentioned
01:07:29.200
that when he learned that that was a hoax that allowed him it freed him to be able to support
01:07:35.440
trump so without that i don't believe that those very powerful and rich people would have felt free
01:07:46.080
to support somebody who had ever said something about the fine people but once they realized it was
01:07:51.280
a hoax i think it made them mad because they'd been duped and i think it made them more serious about
01:07:59.440
you know jumping in and not being afraid to say hey look now if you were to look at the polling
01:08:07.840
for the democrat party would you say that it would be fair to say that it collapsed
01:08:14.000
do you think it's fair to say that the entire tent of the democrat party collapsed and the answer is
01:08:24.160
yes yes it did the entire thing collapsed and if you were to trace it back i don't believe it would
01:08:31.600
have necessarily collapsed without the fine people hoax being debunked i think that was actually critical
01:08:38.880
to trump getting re-elected and to do that you know backing up again uh it required somebody to
01:08:47.120
have the knowledge of persuasion to know that that was the tentpole if you didn't know it was the tentpole
01:08:55.920
you wouldn't go after it as beaver-like as i did i mean i was like a wild beaver on that tentpole
01:09:02.080
and i just chewed on that freaking thing for what five years whatever it was and uh steve cortez and
01:09:15.040
uh joel pollock you know guffield basabic you know i think temple was there early as well and there
01:09:24.000
were a bunch of others um if i didn't mention anybody it's not it's not intentional uh but uh
01:09:30.720
uh got it done so i would argue that the knowledge of how brains are organized and
01:09:40.560
and what works and what doesn't is what allowed mike cernovich to know that that word hoax
01:09:48.720
was extra powerful my knowledge of hypnosis and persuasion allowed me to say you know if we turned
01:09:56.800
it into a list it's going to spread and it also allowed me to say that's the tentpole of all the
01:10:05.520
ones all the others could just be debunked and you say oh wow that was messed up i used to believe that
01:10:12.160
but now i don't but that one was different from all the rest and i i recognize that um and the other
01:10:20.720
people working on it hard probably recognized as well so i told you i was going to tell you how
01:10:28.480
powerful hypnosis is it's not that you put somebody into a trance that's just something that a hypnotist
01:10:36.080
does with one subject but what the hypnotist learns is the irrationality of the human brain and and what
01:10:44.400
things influence it more than other things and then you take that and it works into all of your other
01:10:50.880
communication and profession and person your personal life and everything else uh people tease
01:10:58.000
me and they say did you become a hypnotist because it would help you in dating to which i say yes yes
01:11:05.360
that's exactly why i did it but not just dating i know it would help me professionally and in every way
01:11:12.960
basically once you understand how brains work and that it's not the way you thought and that you can
01:11:19.760
make changes sometimes to very small things that can ripple through the entire system now could i
01:11:29.360
have picked any other topic and used my hypnosis skill to get as big a result and the answer is no
01:11:36.720
no no you the key was not just working on it the key was knowing it was the thing to work on
01:11:46.320
that's what i brought to the party i knew it was the thing to work on the work is what you know anybody
01:11:53.840
could have done i didn't use any special hypnosis to make a list of hoaxes i just happened to know that
01:12:00.480
that that was where the lever was so we just found out that trump even according to his critics had the
01:12:09.680
most productive first six months of any president we have seen amazing amounts of change most of which
01:12:19.280
i would say is really positive how much of that would have happened if trump had not been elected
01:12:25.040
none of it would he have been elected without those people who were freed from their fine fine people
01:12:34.640
hoax prison i don't think it would happen without freeing their minds so that they would be fully
01:12:40.320
engaged on his behalf and i don't think any of that would have happened without it being a list
01:12:47.760
and without that actual word that mike cernovich first popularized hoax these are all connected you
01:12:57.040
can see the through line all the way so if you're wondering how powerful is knowing hypnosis i won't tell
01:13:05.520
you that every hypnotist could have done that you know everybody takes their own learning away from this the
01:13:13.120
skill but it is that powerful now the question you might want to ask next is have you done that more
01:13:21.920
than once where you saw something that you could make a small tweak to and it would ripple through the
01:13:29.760
entire system and change the world and the answer is of course i have you just don't know them all
01:13:36.400
of course i have did i know it would work i did i knew it would work i just knew that i had to hammer
01:13:44.720
on it you know continuously and have lots of help right the the lots of help part was the key
01:13:54.400
all right um what else have i implanted in you you ask
01:14:00.480
all right we'll talk separately about the purebloods uh when i reframe them as having tds
01:14:10.400
um you're gonna hate that but eventually i will win you over and we will free them
01:14:16.080
from their mental prison which i believe they're in um
01:14:22.400
small tweak the u.s policy toward funding funding what gaza bombing you know
01:14:30.480
i've told you before that um i'm not trying to influence anything in the middle east
01:14:37.920
so i really am not so i'm not not trying to have any influence in the middle east whatsoever
01:14:42.800
because it's not my country so i observe and i predict but i am not trying to change things in the
01:14:50.480
middle east um i might try to change things in america for the better but no that's not my region
01:14:58.480
so they're going to have to work that out themselves all right that's all i got for now
01:15:02.800
i'm going to talk to the locals people my beloved subscribers on locals the rest of you thanks for
01:15:10.080
joining and i will see you tomorrow same time same place and locals will be private in 30 seconds
01:15:28.480
so and we will see you tomorrow again soon and not tasty in a short recovery
01:15:41.760
so but i'm here every person you can get to theä½ ä»¬ who die and stay here
01:15:42.960
and that's one of my thoughts you can get to there
01:15:54.480
so let's have a thoughts on that because we get to cover
