Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2912 CWSA 07⧸30⧸25

00:00:00.360 It's time. You know. Yeah, you know the thing. Get in here. Let me make sure your comments

00:00:10.780 are working. And I'm sure they will. Good morning, everybody.

00:00:30.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the

00:00:38.000 highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. It's the best thing

00:00:45.460 that ever happened to you, but if you'd like to take a chance on elevating this experience

00:00:51.520 up to levels that no one can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need

00:00:58.280 for that is a copper munger, a glass attacker, and shells just dying, a canteen jugger flask,

00:01:04.920 a vessel of any kind, and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me

00:01:10.820 now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes

00:01:15.040 everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now. Go.

00:01:24.920 Ah, extraordinary.

00:01:28.280 Best sip of the day, because it was simultaneous. Well, I wonder if there's any science they

00:01:40.560 could have skipped just by asking me instead. Oh, here we are, Eric Dolan writing for a

00:01:47.140 Psy post. Here's the headline. Heightened sexual desire reduces the sex difference in prioritizing

00:01:55.340 attractiveness in long-term romantic partners, a study finds. Let me translate that into English.

00:02:05.320 People who are sexually attracted to each other have a better chance for a long-term relationship.

00:02:11.940 Were you aware that people like to spend time with people they're sexually attracted to, and that they

00:02:23.140 will forgive any number of horrible behavior characteristics if they're sexually attracted?

00:02:31.140 Did anybody know that? Well, you didn't have to do a study. You could have just asked me.

00:02:36.920 The big news last night, you probably all know, there was a gigantic earthquake off the coast of Russia,

00:02:46.740 up in that sort of North Korea kind of area of the world. And it's at the Kamchatka Peninsula on the

00:02:57.200 Pacific coast. And it was 8.8 or maybe 8.9. It was maybe the fifth, they think it might be the fifth

00:03:06.160 strongest earthquake ever recorded globally. And of course, there was a tsunami risk,

00:03:14.980 which kept me up a little bit late last night watching to see if anybody I know is going to die

00:03:21.140 in a watery grave. So that wasn't good. All right, I have to tell you the story.

00:03:31.960 No, I guess I can't tell you the story. Yeah, I won't tell you because someone else is involved.

00:03:38.080 But I will tell you that I have been in Hawaii when a tsunami was coming. And that was the one that hit.

00:03:47.520 So that was how long ago? Maybe eight years ago, 10 years ago, something like that. And we did not

00:03:57.500 evacuate. This was my first marriage. We didn't evacuate even though we were right on the beach

00:04:04.200 because we were in the seventh floor. And they said if you're above, I don't know, three floors or

00:04:11.140 something. Don't evacuate. It'll just make it harder on everybody else in the traffic. So we couldn't see

00:04:18.720 it because it was pitch black. But it happened. I mean, it was right below us. There was a pretty

00:04:27.200 significant tsunami. But it did not destroy the building. It just made it hard to get food the next

00:04:34.440 day. But I lived. We all lived. Well, Jennifer Aniston, as a new boyfriend, he is a hypnotist.

00:04:46.460 So the news wants me to know that Jennifer Aniston is dating a hypnotist. Now, I had to look up to see

00:04:54.980 what he looked like because I thought to myself, is it possible that an ugly guy used his hypnosis

00:05:03.580 skill to get Jennifer Aniston as a girlfriend? But no, it turns out he's crazy handsome. He's got 0.94

00:05:11.160 all his hair. He looks like he's tall. He's handsome. Imagine being handsome and tall and having all of your

00:05:20.680 hair. And being an hypnotist. Do you think anybody ever says no to that guy?

00:05:32.280 He would be terrible for advice on dating. You'd go to him as a hypnotherapist. I guess he's a

00:05:39.000 hypnotherapist. And you'd say, can you help me with dating? Because when I approach women, 0.73

00:05:45.380 they always say no. And he would say, can't help you with that because no woman has ever said no to 0.99

00:05:52.720 me. Oh, anyway. So I'm in the process of getting ready to reissue my book that was part of my

00:06:07.620 cancellation, Loser Think. You can't buy it yet. If you see this book that looks this color,

00:06:15.380 and you see it on Amazon for sale, it's either a counterfeit or a used one because it's canceled.

00:06:23.780 You cannot buy it. But people liked it a lot and they said, you should reissue that. So I'm working

00:06:30.600 with Joshua Lysak to do independent publishing like I did with the other books behind me. And

00:06:37.640 we're at the point where I needed to do one read through to look for, you know, any copy edits or

00:06:46.840 last minute things we needed to adjust. And I thought to myself, hey, I'm going to use AI to copy edit the

00:06:56.520 manuscript. So I just take a copy of the digital file and I put it into Grok. I think I used four.

00:07:05.040 Or was four not working last night? I can't remember. Four was down for a while. So it might have been

00:07:11.340 three. And then I asked it to look for errors in spacing or, you know, typos and stuff. And it came

00:07:20.680 back with this long list of errors, except they were all hallucinations. There wasn't a real one on the

00:07:30.400 list, I don't think. They were all fake. And they were very specific, too. It would say this word on

00:07:39.120 this page, you've got an extra space in it. And it would even show me the word with the extra space.

00:07:45.840 That word was not on that page. And nor were any of the other suggestions. An entire, you know,

00:07:53.300 bullet point list, they probably had 40 or 50 items. They were all hallucinated. Wow.

00:08:04.820 Anyway, so in a few months, you'll be able to buy that book, the second edition. But it will look

00:08:10.900 different from that cover. So don't get that old orange one, burnt orange one. Elon Musk

00:08:18.020 says he's going to tell his AI to stop using the word researcher and instead use the word engineer.

00:08:27.220 Because he says that the false nomenclature of researcher, in quotes, and engineer,

00:08:34.740 this is a thinly masked way of describing a two-tier engineering system is being deleted from

00:08:41.860 X's AI today. There are only engineers, he says. Now, I don't know if I've

00:08:48.000 agreed totally with that, because I'm not really up on this topic so much. But I will tell you,

00:08:52.720 as the creator of Dilbert, there are only engineers. Sometimes I believe that engineers are the only

00:09:02.960 people that make a difference. And if you have good engineers, your country will be fine. If you have

00:09:08.960 a lot of them. That's what I think. I like my engineers.

00:09:16.960 So we've all been watching the Sydney Sweeney, the actress who's unusually attractive,

00:09:27.360 doing the commercial for American Eagle, the jeans. And she acts intentionally sexy. 0.98

00:09:33.360 And of course, everybody's up in arms about it, because we're a very woke place.

00:09:42.240 That's my cat yelling at me, because I'm not giving him enough attention.

00:09:47.200 Bank more encores when you switch to a Scotiabank banking package.

00:10:01.920 Scotiabank. You're richer than you think.

00:10:03.920 Anyway, so the left has apparently attacked it for being a white supremacist. 0.97

00:10:15.840 All it was was a sexy young woman trying to sell some pants. And that's all it took for the left to 1.00

00:10:24.480 say. White supremacy. White supremacy. All right. Great. Some thought that the campaign was tone deaf,

00:10:34.640 because can't you see all the white supremacy you're putting into it? No.

00:10:41.680 But others say that Sydney Sweeney killed woke advertising, because she proved, apparently the pants 0.99

00:10:49.920 sold out. So she proved that pairing an attractive woman with a product might sell more product. 1.00

00:10:58.960 Again, you could have just asked me. Just asked me. I would have told you that.

00:11:05.360 Believe it or not, South Park has a extended scene where one of their characters plays Charlie Kirk.

00:11:14.080 So, and I didn't listen to all of it. Maybe some of you did. I just listened to a

00:11:22.880 clip that I saw. It looked like it was cut off. But the part I saw was not making fun of Charlie Kirk.

00:11:31.440 It was Charlie Kirk as one of their characters making fun of the person that was opposing Charlie Kirk.

00:11:38.800 Do I have that right? Did they fully embrace Charlie Kirk on South Park? I'm not positive that

00:11:46.640 I may have missed part of it because it was edited. Well, I don't know. But I will tell you that the fact

00:11:55.200 that South Park has sort of given some attention to Charlie Kirk, it does tell you things are changing.

00:12:04.320 So here are some data points we'll go through today. We've got Cindy Sweeney proving that wokeness

00:12:12.880 doesn't sell products as well as just common sense, which is if you pair some attractive people with

00:12:20.880 your product, people will pay attention. Then Charlie Kirk, instead of being mocked, which you would expect

00:12:28.800 from any kind of entertainment vehicle. Nope. Looks like they're fully embracing him as a smart debater

00:12:35.920 of important topics. And then, of course, there's the Colbert story. But Trump has once again decided he

00:12:46.240 wants to dance on the grave of Colbert, at least the show's grave. It's not off yet, but it's already been

00:12:54.560 canceled, effective in May. And Trump put out a truth social today that he said that Colbert's

00:13:02.720 cancellation was not because of Trump, because that's been in the news. The left likes to say,

00:13:09.680 we have nothing to say and we have no policies. So we're going to say that Trump is the reason

00:13:15.280 that Colbert was fired. But as Trump points out, it was a, quote, pure lack of talent.

00:13:24.640 And also the fact that he was losing $50 million per year. So we've been talking about it as $40 million,

00:13:33.200 that Colbert was losing $40 million. It's just so Trumpian to bump it up $10 million.

00:13:39.920 Eh, let's round it up to $50 million. And if you question it and say, I think it's supposed to be

00:13:47.280 $40 million, not $50 million, then you will reinforce it in your own mind and Trump's messaging gets stronger.

00:13:56.960 So this probably is one of those situations where he knows that being imprecise improves the messaging.

00:14:06.640 Because when you're done, you can say, well, it's either $40 or $50 million. But yeah, money was the reason.

00:14:16.480 But then Trump goes on, he says, Kimmel and Fallon are next. The only question is who will go first.

00:14:23.840 Do you recognize that technique? How many of you need me to explain for the millionth time

00:14:30.640 what technique he's using there? It's Kimmel and Fallon are next. The only question is who will go first.

00:14:38.000 That's called making you think, think past the sale.

00:14:43.200 The sale is that they're both going to go. But he's making you think which one goes first,

00:14:52.960 which is thinking into the future. So that's, you know, classic persuasion.

00:14:57.200 Trump does that one all the time. I don't know how much, I don't, I really don't know how much

00:15:03.840 the thought he puts into it, but it's just part of his normal speaking pattern that he does that

00:15:11.520 thinking past the sale thing all the time.

00:15:15.440 Well, Chuck Schumer was allowed out in public again. I don't know why somebody doesn't tackle him

00:15:21.840 on his own team and say, you can't, you've got to stop representing us. Sorry. You got to stop representing us.

00:15:32.000 Because every time you do, we get embarrassed. So I made a little list of all the things that Schumer did

00:15:38.880 when he was just talking in public yesterday, I think. And it turns out that the thing that Schumer did

00:15:48.000 in five minutes of talking in public allowed you to see everything the Democrats are doing wrong.

00:15:55.520 He was, number one, way too old. And of course, the Democrats are bleeding young people.

00:16:02.960 So do you want to put your oldest guy out there to try to attract the young people? Mistake number one.

00:16:09.600 Number two, he was boring. Have they learned from Donnie and from Trump

00:16:15.920 that you can have a lot of things that people don't like, but as long as you're not boring,

00:16:23.360 you're going to get your share of attention. So he's too boring, too old. He has no charisma whatsoever.

00:16:31.120 So it's one thing to not be boring, but charisma is an extra gear about that. Doesn't have that.

00:16:38.800 You don't want to spend one minute listening to that guy. There's no charisma there at all.

00:16:43.280 He raised no policy ideas while he was talking. He's using his precious time in public and doesn't

00:16:54.720 even mention any policies. He reframed something as racist that didn't need to be reframed that way

00:17:01.920 because it wasn't. And he made a weak generic attack that the Republicans, quote,

00:17:10.160 don't believe in democracy. Well, that'll get you to the voting booth, won't it?

00:17:17.360 Imagine those Democrats who are sitting at home and they're like, ah, I don't know. I don't know

00:17:22.880 if I'm going to vote in the midterm elections or not. You know, it's sort of a lot of work.

00:17:28.080 And then he comes on. He's too old. He's too boring. He has no charisma, no policy ideas,

00:17:35.520 frames everything as racist even when it isn't, and has a weak generic attack.

00:17:40.720 They don't believe in democracy. They don't believe in democracy.

00:17:43.920 democracy. That's everything they do in five minutes. They can't stop making all the same

00:17:53.200 mistakes. And, you know, there are reasons. You know, you could find a reason why there's friction

00:17:59.520 toward, you know, improving. But it's not looking good for the Dems.

00:18:06.400 And so have you noticed that a lot of the way we talked about politics even a year ago was my team's

00:18:18.560 good. The other team is bad. And it didn't matter who you were listening to. They both said some version

00:18:25.600 of that. My team good. Other team bad. But have you noticed that the Democrats, probably half of them,

00:18:35.440 have completely flipped over to my team is bad, but God, I hope you're worse.

00:18:43.840 And so they're getting attention by skewering their own side. And that's how they get attention. Bill

00:18:50.720 Barr gets attention that way. Charlemagne gets attention. So Charlemagne is calling out the liberal

00:18:58.480 media, who, in my opinion, is just the Democrats. And they're, quote, double standard over Epstein.

00:19:07.760 He goes, it's just funny how the news networks, how the news works. Because Bill Clinton wrote a

00:19:14.400 letter to Jeffrey Epstein as well for his birthday. But nobody's talking about that. And Jeffrey Epstein

00:19:20.000 had a picture of Bill Clinton in a dress and high heels. But nobody's talking about that.

00:19:24.960 Now, you could argue that Bill Clinton is not the president. And he's not, you know, he's not

00:19:32.320 exactly relevant at the moment. So I'm not sure that Charlemagne has a good point. However, my point

00:19:41.280 is that Democrats are now trying to get credit and attention and clicks by criticizing Democrats.

00:19:50.160 And that's new. That's only new since Trump won everything and then had the best six months of any

00:19:58.400 president's career. Any more of that? Well, we'll see in a minute. But Newsmax is reporting that

00:20:11.360 Ghislaine Maxwell has asked for immunity before testifying before Congress. She's willing to do it,

00:20:22.000 but she wants immunity. Do you believe that she would get immunity?

00:20:29.360 She also wants the questions in advance. Now, I think immunity just means immunity from being charged

00:20:37.360 based on anything she says. It's not about her current sentence, right? Immunity is just about

00:20:45.680 keeping her from further trouble. So I don't know if she'll get that or not.

00:20:51.120 Consult your local lawyer. They would know. But maybe, maybe we'll find out some good stuff.

00:20:59.360 Why is it so hard for somebody to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell and ask her what happened?

00:21:06.640 How did we get this far with Ghislaine Maxwell just sitting exactly where we know she is in the cell,

00:21:13.760 and she has all the information we want to know, and apparently no real restrictions on giving it to you?

00:21:21.120 And it took until now. It took until now for somebody to just say, I got an idea.

00:21:29.600 Why don't we ask Ghislaine Maxwell? Maybe she'll tell us everything.

00:21:34.400 And nobody thought of that until this year. Or at least nobody, you know, acted on it.

00:21:42.080 Well, that's weird.

00:22:44.440 Um, meanwhile, uh, Cory Booker, Senator Booker, who I call the saucer-eyed Cory Booker.

00:22:52.560 Um, if you would like to do a Cory Booker, um, costume for Halloween, uh, here's how you do it.

00:23:01.500 You gotta get the, the big eyes, because that's sort of his signature, uh, feature, big eyes. Uh,

00:23:09.460 the way you do that is you go down to your local gas station and then look for the air pump and then 0.99

00:23:15.880 grease it up and shove it as far as you can up your ass and turn it on and watch what your eyes do. 0.99

00:23:21.560 Um, you gotta do the same thing. I'm not sure if Cory Booker was hooked to the air machine when he was, 0.98

00:23:29.440 uh, complaining, I guess yesterday in the Senate. But, uh, oh, and by the way, don't, don't do blackface 1.00

00:23:37.700 if you're going to do a Cory Booker costume because, yeah, you want to do Spartacus. I would do a Spartacus

00:23:45.020 costume and the air pump. And then you got a perfect Cory Booker. Um, and he, uh, decides to

00:23:55.640 use the F-bomb because Democrats had been advised that they need to act more, more authentic, which

00:24:05.580 apparently they believe involves cursing too much. So he uses an F-bomb, of course, and he

00:24:14.520 criticizes Democrats as, as is my theme today. He goes, uh, we're standing in a moment where our

00:24:21.940 president is eviscerating the Constitution of the United States and we're willing to go along with that

00:24:27.640 today. No, no, not on my watch. So do you remember all the problems that I mentioned with, uh, Chuck

00:24:38.740 Schumer? Well, at least Cory Booker is not old and he's got a little bit of charisma. You know,

00:24:46.340 he's a little bit more fun to listen to than Schumer. Everybody's better than Schumer, but still

00:24:52.700 he's got this generic complaint about Trump that nobody even knows what it means. It's like, uh,

00:25:00.580 he's eviscerating the Constitution. Do the courts know that he's eviscerating the Constitution?

00:25:09.300 Is Cory Booker's point that the entire court system all the way to the Supreme Court just

00:25:16.900 stopped working or quit? How in the world could Trump be eviscerating the Constitution and also

00:25:25.420 there are like, you know, 200 court cases pending where somebody's challenging him. And if they win,

00:25:31.420 he'll have to stop what he's doing. And so far he always has. So Cory Booker, same problem. He thinks

00:25:40.780 that cursing is going to win him something. And, uh, he's got no ideas for policies. All he's got is,

00:25:50.860 he's stealing the Constitution. Trump is stealing our democracy. Meanwhile, uh, Governor Tim Walz.

00:26:01.980 I love the fact that Tim Walz exists and he's still in public because he does not sell the Democrat Party

00:26:11.020 except down, down the river, I guess. He's the worst. Well, they're all bad, but he might be one of the

00:26:18.780 the worst, uh, brand ambassadors. So here's what he just did. He just signed a, uh, a law that to give

00:26:28.860 driver licenses to all. So if you're, uh, regardless of your immigration status, you'll be able to get a

00:26:37.180 driver's license. Now, is that one of those 20, 80 situations where he decided to take the side of the

00:26:44.940 20? I feel like it probably is. I mean, I don't know if it's actually 80 to 20, but wouldn't you think that a

00:26:52.700 majority of people would be opposed to giving driver's license is to people who are here illegally? I'm not

00:27:00.140 even giving you my opinion on it. So that's not my opinion. I'm just saying, observationally,

00:27:06.140 wouldn't 80% of people be against that? So there's a, there's a Democrat who's getting a lot of attention

00:27:14.380 by doing things that the public doesn't really necessarily want him to do. So good job there.

00:27:23.500 Well, as you know, um, Tulsi gathered in her newest, uh, revelations, which in my opinion,

00:27:31.180 uh, just gave a little bit more meat to something I think we already knew that the Obama administration

00:27:38.380 and Hillary Clinton and, uh, Brennan and Clapper and Kobe and all those guys were, were literally,

00:27:46.140 definitely no doubt about it, planning a gigantic Russia collusion hoax to try to change the government

00:27:53.900 of the United States. That would be treason, um, or a coup, whatever you want to call it.

00:28:01.180 But it appears that it's completely well-documented now, as in, I don't know if it would, you know,

00:28:08.300 pass muster in a court of law, but it's definitely true. There's, there's no doubt about it. We, we have

00:28:15.580 everything we need to see that it's very clearly, obviously true that there was a plot to come up with 0.99

00:28:23.740 a fake bullshit hoax to remove Trump from office. And they tried as hard as they could. That plus 0.99

00:28:30.620 a lot of other plots to do the same thing. Um, but the real question is, will there, will some kind

00:28:37.900 of injustice ever happen? And it typically would not happen, um, because they're too powerful.

00:28:45.500 And it's just, it's easier on the country if you let it go, you know, if you win and you become the

00:28:52.460 president as Trump did, he, he talks about how he could have done it to Hillary Clinton when he won

00:28:58.860 the first time, but he decided, you know, it wasn't good for the country. Maybe it wasn't good for anybody

00:29:04.780 and didn't do it. But now he's sort of floating the idea. He's got two memes they hit today. One of them

00:29:13.260 showed, uh, all those characters that I mentioned to Obama and Brennan and Comey and stuff behind bars.

00:29:21.260 And then the caption over it that Trump just sat around on true social, the caption was until this

00:29:27.980 happens, nothing will change. So he's basically saying that until they go to jail, that we won't

00:29:37.100 really have a functioning country, nothing will change. And then, um, he sat around a second meme,

00:29:44.620 also on true social, but people copy it and put it on X. Um, and I think the second one is, 0.97

00:29:54.540 it's time to indict Obama, the traitor for treason. It actually had those words. So it's a meme.

00:30:01.340 It's, it's not something that Trump wrote in his own message, but he, he, he's, he's the person

00:30:07.980 who sent it around. It's time to indict Obama. So he's calling Obama a traitor and thinks he should

00:30:15.020 go to jail for treason. Now here's my persuasion lesson for the day. Um, how many times have I told

00:30:25.820 you how sometimes it will be an idea that's literally unthinkable and what Trump does is he

00:30:33.420 makes you think about it until you're just sort of comfortable with it. I would argue that the

00:30:39.980 tariffs and the trade wars were unthinkably impractical until Trump made you think about

00:30:46.940 it a lot, but then also showed you that it would work. So he makes the unthinkable thinkable.

00:30:53.820 If you had told me that he could completely close the border down with any amount of work,

00:31:00.780 I would have been quite surprised, but apparently he has. That was unthinkable and now thinkable

00:31:07.100 Greenland. Yeah. The idea of, uh, take you over Greenland completely unthinkable, but now we've

00:31:15.260 thought about it so much. There's not a shocking if the topic comes up now we can think about it.

00:31:20.700 So the step one in persuasion is you've got to make it a topic that people are willing to talk

00:31:27.900 about. But on top of that, it seems to me he's testing public reaction.

00:31:32.940 So if he can make the public talk about the idea of whether or not it makes sense or whether or not

00:31:43.500 he would get a conviction, then he has brought us into his reality. And his reality is that this is an

00:31:51.500 important question and we should be talking about it and working on it instead of ignoring it. So

00:31:58.460 the more trouble it causes on the left, because they're going to say, this is more evidence that

00:32:05.340 he's trying to be a king. And then the people on the right will be, well, there you go. That's,

00:32:12.620 that's who we voted for. They should put him in jail. So I feel like he's doing his usual Trump thing

00:32:19.260 where he's just testing reactions, but at the same time, he's getting you used to it.

00:32:26.140 So you're, you, you went from, well, I did. Let me just speak for myself. Maybe this applies to you

00:32:33.260 and you can tell me. But even one year ago, I would have said it was unthinkable that we would have a

00:32:42.620 serious discussion from the presidential office about jailing the last president.

00:32:49.100 Totally unthinkable. Now, it's totally thinkable. It's not only because Tulsi had new information,

00:32:57.260 because honestly, that's all the stuff that I just assumed was true in the first place.

00:33:01.420 Because we had enough, you know, we had enough information. I wasn't guessing.

00:33:09.100 Now I think about it. Now I think it's completely practical. And if the Democrats make the mistake,

00:33:15.500 which they will, of talking about it a lot, it will become more feasible. The more they talk about

00:33:24.860 how it's a bad idea, and it's never been done, and it shouldn't be done, and we don't think the,

00:33:30.140 the evidence would support it. The more they resist, the more the public is going to say,

00:33:37.100 oh, this is just one of those things that we could do or we could not do. And it will depend on the

00:33:42.940 evidence. And that's not where it was before. Before it was, we can't even talk about it. It's so,

00:33:52.220 you know, it's so risky. It's so bad for the country. You don't even talk about it. We're now past that.

00:33:59.020 Now we're in the, yeah, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.

00:34:07.260 All right. And Trump actually said in the interview, the Daily Wire is reporting this. He didn't use

00:34:15.340 these words, but he is indicating very clearly that although he did not have the, let's say,

00:34:23.020 did not have the motivation to go after Hillary when he was president the first time,

00:34:28.860 he believes that he now has enough evidence that Hillary went after him and tried to put him in

00:34:35.580 jail, if you count the entire Democrat machine that seemed to be coordinated, then he's got a free

00:34:42.220 punch. And he is, he is indicating very clearly, he doesn't say the words exactly, but he is indicating

00:34:50.460 he'd be willing to put Hillary Clinton in jail now. Again, floating the idea.

00:35:00.220 What he said specifically, when the topic came up,

00:35:05.020 he talks about how he squashed the idea of going after Hillary in his first term. He goes,

00:35:11.580 I was the one that killed it. And then they do the same thing to me. I just want to be fair.

00:35:17.020 So the way people are interpreting that is he's willing to go after her now.

00:35:22.060 All right. Here's the weirdest story in the news. How many of you knew this? That the most famous of

00:35:33.420 Jeffrey Epstein's accusers, Virginia Joffrey, she's the one who allegedly was with Prince Andrew. She's the

00:35:43.500 one who recently died, you know, tragically. She's the one who, I think she had, is she the one who had

00:35:53.340 accused Dershowitz, but then later changed her story and withdrew it all? So of, if you were going to say,

00:36:02.380 let's talk about Epstein's victims, how many of you could have named even one extra person besides

00:36:08.700 Virginia Joffrey? Probably not, right? She was the most famous one and became sort of the face of

00:36:17.500 that whole thing. Well, yesterday I learned that where Epstein met Virginia Joffrey is that she was

00:36:25.980 working for Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the spa. And Epstein saw her reading a book on how to be a massage

00:36:35.180 therapist, I guess, and then made her an offer to go work for him. Now, Trump says that the problem was

00:36:43.500 that that Epstein was poaching his employees. I think he did it three times. He had been warned

00:36:51.420 after doing it twice. And then when he did it a third time, Trump banned him from the property.

00:36:56.940 Now, somebody said, but before you said that you banned him because he was creepy. Well,

00:37:04.700 that may have also been true. You know, more than one thing could be true. But how in the world

00:37:13.500 did I not know that Virginia Joffrey worked for Trump? How in the world did I find that out yesterday?

00:37:23.580 How many of you were aware that Virginia Joffrey was a Trump employee at Mar-a-Lago?

00:37:29.660 Did any of you know that? Well, I thought I was going crazy when I saw that story. I was like,

00:37:37.980 how? How did I not know that? That feels like the most obvious thing that people would talk about.

00:37:45.100 How in the world did I not know that?

00:37:49.420 Had no clue. I'm looking at, yeah. I don't think so far in the comments, not one of you were aware of that.

00:37:59.660 That is mind-blowing.

00:38:03.180 To me, it feels like living in a simulation where the plot is writing itself in real time. It's like,

00:38:09.100 all right, what is the most interesting thing we could add to this story?

00:38:14.220 Well, that's it. That's the most interesting thing you could have added to the story.

00:38:19.420 All right.

00:38:22.460 According to Rasmussen, polling company,

00:38:27.020 a majority of voters think that the Trump administration is trying to hide evidence

00:38:31.660 that Trump had some association with Epstein that's more than what we know.

00:38:39.900 So 60% of likely U.S. voters believe it's likely that Trump administration officials are engaged in a

00:38:47.900 cover-up to hide Trump's involvement with Epstein. 45% consider a cover-up very likely.

00:38:55.660 Now, I saw, was it Claire McCaskill or somebody on MSNBC? They all look alike to me.

00:39:09.820 But, I saw them say that they should use this Epstein thing because it's the only thing that

00:39:16.860 they have any attraction with. It does seem true that people are judging Trump

00:39:25.660 to be covering something up. Now, I would agree with that. It seems very clear that Trump wants us

00:39:33.740 to move on and why else would he say that? Now, I don't think it necessarily means that he's covering

00:39:42.300 up for himself. It's equally likely that there are other names on the list that he's, you know,

00:39:49.580 doing a solid for and making sure they stay out of the news, which doesn't mean they're guilty of

00:39:54.860 anything. They could just be a name that's in the file and they know their life would be ruined

00:40:00.300 if that information got out. So I don't know if he's covering for himself or covering for people

00:40:06.940 he cares about or anything like that. But it looks like he's covering up something. And it looks like

00:40:14.620 maybe he's decided that he should let the process uncover whatever it's going to uncover.

00:40:21.420 So he may have changed his mind and he may be loosening up and letting people, you know, dig around.

00:40:28.940 But what he has done, which I think is clever, is he's inoculated all of us.

00:40:34.780 So he's already dropped the suggestion that there might be some fake things in the files that the

00:40:43.260 Democrats put in there to embarrass him or other people. So he's got you thinking about that before

00:40:48.860 you even know what's in the files. That's good technique. It may not be ethical, but it's good

00:40:56.540 technique persuasion-wise. And he's also made us very aware, because we've talked about it over and

00:41:06.140 over again, that just being a name in the file doesn't mean that you did anything wrong.

00:41:12.620 So the more that's in the front of your mind, as opposed to just something in the back of your mind,

00:41:18.700 he's creating a situation where revealing everything in the Epstein files will work where it might not

00:41:27.660 have worked even a few weeks ago, because he hadn't he hadn't properly primed the public.

00:41:33.660 But now the first thing I say, no matter what name comes up first, you know, let's say some

00:41:39.260 billionaire you've heard of, my first thought will be, hmm, maybe it was planted.

00:41:48.700 My second thought will be, it doesn't mean there's any crime.

00:41:55.100 So I'm all primed. I'm all primed not to have a negative thought, no matter what that,

00:41:59.820 those files say. It can't be too damning for Trump. I agree with the idea that somebody would have

00:42:06.940 already leaked it if it were damning to Trump. So it might be just by association. You know, it might be

00:42:13.740 just some evidence that they were closer friends and you knew about something like that. But that's

00:42:20.460 the worst that will be. Well, you know that story about the Cincinnati Jazz Festival Weekend.

00:42:28.860 I saw a Mike Servich post. He says a jazz festival weekend in Cincinnati, a local tells me, is so

00:42:37.820 disgusting with low tips and feist that bars didn't open during the jazz fest. Can you imagine being a

00:42:45.340 bar and there's a music festival and you've decided to, it's better off to be closed during a music

00:42:53.100 festival weekend? That's got to be some bad trouble. And the city officials threatened to pull the liquor

00:43:02.220 licenses of these bars for being racist. And that the fight we saw on video where a group of black 0.91

00:43:12.860 people were beating up some white guy and a white woman, that fights, not necessarily interracial fights,

00:43:20.940 but fights in general are kind of common on that weekend. So there's that. And then we learned that

00:43:29.340 the Cincinnati police chief who was telling social media users that they hadn't seen the whole

00:43:35.900 situation because apparently the clip might be misleading. So there was some suggestion that the

00:43:44.380 white guy who got his ass kicked may have, we don't know this, he may have been the one who hit first. 0.99

00:43:51.820 Now, I don't have a confirmation of that, so I'm not going to assert that. But the police chief said 0.99

00:44:01.660 something that suggested that maybe he started the fight. Now, that doesn't make it right for a bunch of

00:44:08.540 people to gang up and, you know, kick him to death. He didn't die, but it was pretty bad. However, I definitely

00:44:16.940 would look at it differently if he started the fight. So that would influence my opinion of the

00:44:23.100 whole thing. So I'm going to say I'd like to know more about that. You know, we're still in the fog of

00:44:30.620 war state about that story. But did you know that the Cincinnati police chief is a woman who is being sued

00:44:40.940 by white police officers for having an alleged bias against them in their assignments? So she is allegedly a

00:44:49.580 racist against white people. And thinks there might have been a good reason to let that white person got beat up. 0.98

00:44:59.260 She didn't say that. I'm reading between the lines.

00:45:02.220 Did you know that Baltimore was a crime-infested

00:45:11.180 hellhole? And it had a Soros-backed prosecutor. And that's when the crime really went through the roof.

00:45:18.940 But that Soros-backed prosecutor lost her job to a challenger. And the challenger has already,

00:45:29.260 you know, greatly reduced the crime. So violent crime has plummeted in Baltimore because they got

00:45:37.100 rid of the Soros prosecutor and got a serious prosecutor. So if you're wondering, well, did all

00:45:45.660 these Soros prosecutors make a difference? The answer is, yeah, they did. Yeah, they ruined cities.

00:45:54.220 They completely ruined the cities. That's a pretty big impact.

00:45:59.740 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,

00:46:06.220 is every fabulous item I see from Winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:46:11.660 Are those from Winners? Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that leather

00:46:17.820 tote? Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots? That dress? That jacket? Those shoes?

00:46:23.180 Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners. Find fabulous for less.

00:46:32.060 Well, UCLA is the latest college to admit they're a bunch of racists. So they've entered into a consent decree

00:46:46.700 to settle a discrimination suit from Jewish students. So I guess the Jewish students,

00:46:53.580 sued, said they weren't doing enough to protect them, I guess.

00:47:02.780 There were anti-Israel encampments which were allowed at UCLA, which included a, quote,

00:47:08.860 Jew exclusion zone. There must have been a sign that said you can't be there if you're Jewish. Anyway,

00:47:15.020 they're going to pay $6 million to settle that. So are there any major colleges that are not openly racist

00:47:24.700 at this point? Like any? They all seem openly racist. And they're all being caught and admitting it

00:47:33.500 and paying hundreds of millions of dollars to make it to make the claims go away.

00:47:40.620 All right. Have you ever had a situation where you were pretty sure that one thing might be true

00:47:46.060 and then you heard a better argument and you thought, oh my God, that is so much a better argument.

00:47:54.620 Well, RFK Jr. did that, had the better argument. He was talking to Chris Cuomo of NewsNation.

00:48:01.740 And Chris Cuomo was, he was speculating, Cuomo was, I don't know if he was saying that was his own opinion

00:48:13.580 or you know how hosts often say, well, people say, or a lot of people think, so I don't know which it was.

00:48:20.620 But he mentioned that a lot of people think that maybe the uptick in autism is really only an uptick

00:48:28.300 in diagnosis, meaning that maybe nothing changed, but we're just noticing autism more. So,

00:48:37.260 you know, the statistics look like there's a lot more of it. And here was RFK Jr.'s debunking of that.

00:48:45.660 He said, quote, if it was just a matter of better diagnosis or better recognition,

00:48:51.420 you would see it in older people. But you don't. The epidemic is taking place in a specific generation.

00:48:57.980 It's kids born after 1989. That's what you see. You don't see autism one in every 31 people my age.

00:49:07.660 RFK Jr. says, I've never seen somebody my age, 71 years old, with full-blown autism.

00:49:16.620 You don't see that. If it was anything other than an epidemic, why would you only see it in a single

00:49:23.340 generation? To which I say, I've never seen an old person with autism. Have you? I've never seen it.

00:49:34.940 Now, I hope it's not because there's a survivability problem. I mean, maybe that could be it. But

00:49:48.220 why had I never noticed that? That's a really good point. There's something going on.

00:49:55.180 But even Cuomo said, fair point. Yeah, there's not much you could say after that. That's just

00:50:03.580 a really good point. All right. Speaking of Democrats who are

00:50:14.940 having more fun mocking their own party than they used to, Chris Cuomo also, separately,

00:50:22.380 gave Trump an A for his effort. Now, that was not an insult, A for effort. Sometimes that sounds

00:50:30.060 like a backhanded compliment that's really an insult. But he pointed out that Trump is

00:50:36.060 doing an amazing amount of work. And the fact that he golfs also doesn't hold it against him because

00:50:43.740 everybody needs an outlet. And Cuomo compared it to the Biden administration. And he's just being

00:50:52.380 completely fair. You can't really compare those two. One of them is putting in the work and appears to

00:50:57.900 make it to make it look easy. He's always available. He's done an insane amount of different topics and

00:51:04.940 policies. And Biden was barely able to leave his basement. So yes, Chris Cuomo being quite bipartisan on that.

00:51:15.980 According to Axios, this is a title of an article today, tariff deals could reverse the sell America trade

00:51:27.740 and pull the investors back to US stocks. So that seems to be an admission that Trump's tariff strategy

00:51:37.260 worked. So do you see the theme? I don't think it's only because of what news I happen to be

00:51:45.340 selectively looking at. It does appear that even the Democrats are very overtly giving Trump a lot

00:51:54.460 of credit for some of the things that worked. And the things they're going after are all these

00:52:01.260 sort of side things like Epstein. The reason that they're trying to emphasize the Epstein thing

00:52:09.100 is it's the only thing that polls well and that they have any traction on at all.

00:52:15.420 They have so little traction on all the big policy things that they have to ignore policy altogether

00:52:22.620 and say stuff like, oh, he's stealing our democracy and he might be hiding something in the Epstein files.

00:52:29.660 Those are not really policy questions. It's just all they have.

00:52:35.660 Do you remember Act Blue, the Democrat-related organization that would raise money and allegedly they

00:52:48.140 were raising small donations from individual donors and they were doing that for the Democrats.

00:52:55.660 But then, separate from this story, they've already been accused of maybe having foreign donors and then

00:53:04.700 laundering it so it looked like it was coming from individual donors, but it wasn't.

00:53:10.300 But on top of that, there's this 15-year investigation of Act Blue, and it was hard to understand the details,

00:53:24.060 but apparently there's another allegation of massive multi-million dollar fraud with some kind of mortgage

00:53:33.420 shenanigans. So, if these accusations are correct, Act Blue would be the most corrupt organization you've

00:53:42.140 ever heard of, and it would pretty much take them off the field. So, if you assume that the amount of donations

00:53:52.780 a party gets will influence how they do in an election, this Act Blue thing could turn out to be a big deal.

00:53:59.260 It could be a big deal. But I remind you that whenever there's a large organization with lots of people and

00:54:08.700 lots of money involved, that they will always be corrupt. Maybe not on day one, but if you have lots of people,

00:54:16.940 lots of money, and lots of complexity, the complexity will hide the fraud. So, you'll always get fraud.

00:54:25.900 You'll always, always, it doesn't matter what the domain is, if you just have people, money, complexity, always fraud.

00:54:38.540 Well, Trump is mocking the No Kings movement, which seems to have failed entirely. He had a post on

00:54:47.100 True Social pointing out that there are a lot of people who have been in office longer than he has.

00:54:53.180 His list was, let's see, Grassley, 50 plus years, Biden, 48 years, Schumer, 44, McConnell in office, 40 years,

00:55:03.260 Pelosi, 38, Sanders, 34, etc. And then Trump says that he's been working in the government for four

00:55:09.340 years and five months. And then he mocks him by saying, but Donald Trump is a king.

00:55:13.740 Now, that's not really any kind of an argument. It's not really a logical argument, because you

00:55:25.100 could certainly have a king that's only been there five years. There's no law against that.

00:55:31.020 So, it's not really a good point, but it's good persuasion, because it reminds you that there's a

00:55:38.140 whole bunch of people who've been there too long, and they're too old. And even though Trump himself

00:55:44.780 is older, I got a cat on my lap here, in case it looks like I'm squirming,

00:55:51.740 it's because their little claws are going into my lap. 0.99

00:55:56.940 Anyway, I saw a video of another young person, a young man, who was in his car making a little

00:56:04.300 social media video. And he was complaining about how his generation is losing hope,

00:56:09.420 because he doesn't see any possible way. He's been applying for lots of jobs without success.

00:56:15.500 He says that he doesn't see any way he'd ever be able to buy a house, get married, have kids,

00:56:21.500 and retire, basically. So, the basic things that people would want out of their life,

00:56:27.020 he says he doesn't see any possibility of that. And he seemed to be a perfectly functional,

00:56:31.980 ambitious young person, you know, good-looking. And Marjorie Taylor Greene waited on this, 0.81

00:56:42.380 and she said on X, my children's generation are losing hope, and it's all I care about. My advice

00:56:49.100 is to get into trade school and jobs. And she says, welding, construction, electricians, plumbing,

00:56:55.580 linemen, and more can earn over $100,000 per year, and you will always be in demand.

00:57:00.460 And you can eventually work for yourself. And then she says, I own a construction company. So,

00:57:09.100 she knows what she's talking about. She owns a construction company. And this is not bad advice.

00:57:17.500 It's probably not the advice for everybody, but nothing is. So, I would add to this when she says you

00:57:24.540 you can eventually work for yourself. You can eventually work for yourself and hire other

00:57:30.380 people to do extra work, and you as the boss get the benefit. So, yeah, every one of these skills

00:57:37.900 is something that once you got good at it, which would take several years, but you could form your

00:57:43.180 own company and then hire and train your own employees. And there's no limit to how much money you can make.

00:57:49.660 Well, Apple is opening a manufacturing academy in Detroit. So, it's going to teach people

00:57:58.300 how to manufacture people in Detroit and workshops on manufacturing as well as artificial intelligence.

00:58:07.020 And it's going to be marketed to small and medium-sized businesses. Well, I got to say,

00:58:13.580 this sounds like something they're doing because it sounds good and not something that's going to

00:58:18.860 change the world too much. It sounds like Apple just knows they have to do things that would sound

00:58:25.580 good to Trump so that they stay on his good side. So, I'm sure he would love to hear that Apple is

00:58:32.700 training people at a manufacturer and be capable with AI. But why would you put that in downtown Detroit?

00:58:44.060 It doesn't seem like the right place to put it, does it? If what you wanted is what's good for the

00:58:48.860 country, you would put that wherever there is the most capable people because they're the ones you want

00:58:56.540 doing all your manufacturing and AI. But we'll see what happens when they put it into Detroit.

00:59:09.420 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament. I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:59:14.140 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:59:20.300 Good thing Claudia is with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the

00:59:25.100 country. Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no

00:59:29.820 time. I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round. But you got there on time. Intact

00:59:35.900 insurance, your auto service ace. Certain conditions apply. And then I guess Australia is going to ban

00:59:44.060 children under 16 from using YouTube. You won't be able to sign up to YouTube at all if you're under 16.

00:59:51.980 That might not be a bad idea. I don't know what Australia is doing with other social media.

00:59:58.620 But YouTube isn't the worst. So I don't know what they do. Maybe they ban everybody under 16. 1.00

01:00:07.980 And then YouTube separately, YouTube, the company, is rolling out an AI feature that will determine if

01:00:17.340 you're under age. And you should not be looking at some content on YouTube. So it won't know your

01:00:24.220 age. And it won't ask your age. And it can't check directly. But it will know your age by how you act.

01:00:33.260 So it will know what you've looked at before. And if you're looking at things that only kids look at,

01:00:40.940 but then you go look at some naughty stuff, then the AI will say, ah, no, you wouldn't have looked at

01:00:48.300 this other stuff unless you were 12 years old. So you can't see the naughty stuff either.

01:00:55.180 That sounds like a good idea that's worthy of testing. But boy, are some people going to be

01:01:02.220 annoyed at it. If it doesn't work, they can always take it away. Trump's putting a 25% tariff on India,

01:01:10.620 he announced. Did you know that India is Russia's largest customer for energy, even more than China?

01:01:21.580 And did you know that India buys a lot of Russian military equipment?

01:01:27.820 So I'm pretty sure that Trump wants to tariff them until they say, you know, I wouldn't mind buying a 0.95

01:01:36.460 lot of American LNG for energy. And maybe we could buy some more American weapons.

01:01:45.340 So Trump is very pro-India, but they are, they do seem to be helping some of our enemies more than 0.99

01:01:55.500 they're helping us. So we'll see what happens. All right. Remember, I kept telling you that any news

01:02:04.140 that comes out of the Gaza situation, you should not trust, because anything that comes out of a war 0.99

01:02:11.340 zone is automatically sketchy, right? You know, just really anything. And perfect example, the New York

01:02:19.820 Times did an article that was alleging that Israel was blocking food shipments or something like that

01:02:29.260 to Gaza. And they showed a picture of a young person being held by his mother. And the young

01:02:36.380 person appeared to be starving. And then the point of the article was, you know, here's a picture of a

01:02:42.940 child who's obviously starving. And then they generalized the point to say that must be other people starving.

01:02:50.780 And now they have confessed that they've learned that that child had a pre-existing health problem,

01:03:00.140 which is why the kid looked like he didn't have long to live, because maybe he didn't. So it wasn't

01:03:07.180 starvation that made the kid look like a starving kid. It was whatever health problem he had before,

01:03:13.420 you know, the Gaza thing happened. So the New York Times has admitted that they made that mistake.

01:03:22.700 But I will take credit for telling you that every time you hear anything about the starvation in Gaza,

01:03:31.500 there's no credibility. It doesn't mean that there aren't people who are starving.

01:03:35.660 Whatever is happening over there is so awful that, you know, one assumes that there are some people

01:03:43.180 starving. But it doesn't mean that it's any kind of a strategy necessarily. So I don't trust anything

01:03:51.980 that comes out from either side or from any platform about what's happening on the ground in Gaza.

01:04:00.780 Just don't trust any of it. Perfect example.

01:04:10.620 Trump says, well, I like, and I do like that Trump is focusing on feeding the kids, because it gives them a

01:04:19.500 little distance from Israel. So Trump is playing it like Israel does need to do more to feed the kids.

01:04:28.620 So he's not dealing so much on whether it's true or false. He's just saying top priority feed the kids,

01:04:36.300 which is a real good way to go. He's very smart about that. He says, I got to get them food,

01:04:42.540 and we're going to get them food. So that's just good framing. Trump was asked about whether he would

01:04:51.180 pressure Israel for a ceasefire. And Trump said, if you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas. And I'm 0.94

01:04:58.940 not about to do that. But the UK and France apparently are doing that. So UK Prime Minister,

01:05:08.540 I think I told you this already, said that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state

01:05:16.220 in September, unless Israel takes, quote, substantive steps to end the war in Gaza.

01:05:22.300 Now, this story says that that's what France also said they would do. So what happens

01:05:32.460 to Israel if some of these major countries recognize a Palestinian state?

01:05:37.980 Does that change anything? Is that enough pressure on Israel to make them act differently? And I'm not

01:05:44.300 saying they should act differently. I remind anybody who's new here that I'm not taking sides.

01:05:49.980 I'm observing. Because Israel is not my nation. And every country does what's good for their own country.

01:06:01.180 So if you observe that Israel is doing what seems to be good for only Israel, I would say, 0.91

01:06:07.180 that's kind of what everybody does. That's just called being a country. Countries look out for their own

01:06:13.660 benefit. And maybe they have to shade the story a little bit and do what they got to do. And some of

01:06:21.420 it you would not approve of. But it's not up to you. Not up to me. So we can observe it. And we can ask

01:06:29.740 fascinating questions like, oh, if we were in that situation, what would we do? But it doesn't matter.

01:06:36.940 My opinion and my ethical and moral stand, it doesn't matter. We're just observers.

01:06:43.660 All right. Anyway, so Israel will get a little pressure. I don't think that'll make a difference to

01:06:51.740 them. Breitbart is reporting, thanks to Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby, that there's a new scandal

01:07:03.820 linking Mexico's, some of their top political people to the cartels and to the president. So the

01:07:13.660 new reporting, I won't give you all the details because it's boring, is that somebody who is a real

01:07:18.540 good close friend of the president of Mexico has been revealed to have a big cartel connection.

01:07:26.620 To which I say, duh. Was there anybody who didn't know that the government of Mexico has a deep

01:07:36.460 cartel connection? I mean, I don't know what the total situation is, but not really a surprise.

01:07:46.140 And then over in Ukraine, the reporting is that Ukraine is going to allow people over 60

01:07:52.780 into the armed forces because they're running out of people. And so I reiterate my prediction

01:08:01.100 that that will become the first all-robot war once you just run out of people. And once the robots

01:08:09.580 are fully battle capable, I feel like Europe is going to be buying a bunch of American robots

01:08:17.580 to give to Ukraine. Trump says that Air Force One that was gifted by Qatar or Qatar could be flying and he

01:08:29.020 could be in it as soon as February. But you don't believe that, do you? I thought it was going to take

01:08:37.420 years for that plane to be retrofitted to be an Air Force One because it requires all kinds of special

01:08:44.220 equipment. And at the same time, hasn't Boeing been trying to build two new Air Force Ones for years and

01:08:53.260 it's going to take years more. I don't believe that Qatar one is going to be ready in February, but we'll see.

01:09:01.180 I saw a story on Fox News. Kurt Knutson is writing about this. A really clever way to add

01:09:11.820 electric power to big rig trucks. Now, if you're a big rig truck, it will take a long time to charge

01:09:20.140 up your gigantic battery if you were an electric big rig truck. So it's a little bit impractical

01:09:26.540 just because there aren't many charging stations and it would take forever to charge.

01:09:32.780 But also, you know, the loads are heavy and they've got a big infrastructure already. It would just be

01:09:38.620 hard to suddenly go to electric big rigs. But there is a company that very cleverly came up with a

01:09:47.180 a way to make it work almost instantly. So a big rig is a cab with an engine where the guy sits

01:09:58.140 or the gal. And then the part that carries the goods attaches to it. But now a company has invented

01:10:08.620 a middle component that goes between the existing cab and the existing, you know, cargo place. And that

01:10:18.300 middle part can be powered by electricity. So your truck would still work fine if there were no

01:10:25.660 electricity. It would just have to drag that new component as well as the cargo if you had diesel fuel.

01:10:32.540 So you don't need to stop necessarily and recharge. But it would just give a boost

01:10:41.180 to the efficiency of the whole thing. It's an excellent idea because it doesn't require much

01:10:47.580 retrofitting of anything. That's what I like. Very clever. Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I have 0.75

01:10:54.540 to say today. So I'm going to talk privately now to the beloved subscribers to locals. And the rest of

01:11:04.140 you, thanks for joining. And I will see you same time, same place tomorrow. Oh, thank you, Lynn. That's

01:11:13.020 very nice of you. And we'll have some more fun then. You ready for that? I have a cat in my lap right

01:11:21.820 now. And I got to say, doing this podcast with a cat in my lap, it's the best.

01:11:32.300 She's napping right now in my lap. All right. Locals coming at you privately in 30 seconds.

01:11:43.260 I'll see you next time.

01:11:44.460 Wenmon Girl. 0.93

01:11:46.620 Bye!

01:11:47.820 Bye!

01:11:49.580 Bye!

01:11:56.140 Bye!

01:12:13.020 Thank you.

01:12:43.020 Thank you.

01:13:13.020 Thank you.

01:13:43.020 Thank you.
