Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2915 CWSA 08⧸02⧸25

00:00:00.000 We're all here now, and that means it's time for the least lazy podcaster that you know

00:00:08.580 to do a Saturday show.

00:00:12.520 And let me tell you, you deserve it.

00:00:17.440 You deserve it.

00:00:19.200 That's why it's going to be extra good.

00:00:30.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:39.220 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:00:43.840 But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can

00:00:50.220 even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mugger

00:00:59.960 or a glass of tanker, gels, a steiner, canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:04.940 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:06.820 I like coffee.

00:01:08.280 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine end of the day,

00:01:12.100 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:13.860 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:18.820 Go.

00:01:23.060 Oh, thank you, Paul.

00:01:24.460 Everything's working today.

00:01:25.760 It's all working today.

00:01:32.060 Well, today is Saturday, and as tradition requires, although not every Saturday,

00:01:40.480 Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces event for all of you who want to continue talking

00:01:46.940 about whatever happens today.

00:01:48.460 Or other things, I'm sure, would be fine.

00:01:53.760 So just go to X platform and look for Owen Gregorian, or look for my X account, and you'll

00:02:01.480 see that I reposted the link to it.

00:02:04.440 And it'll be right after I'm done here, a few minutes after.

00:02:07.880 Well, Kim Jong-un, a spunky little leader from North Korea, has built a beach resort. 0.55

00:02:18.200 There's only one requirement.

00:02:20.920 You would have to be Russian to go there. 1.00

00:02:24.740 Apparently, Americans are not invited to Kim Jong-un's new beach resort.

00:02:30.200 And the one review I saw sounded like there weren't many people there.

00:02:35.340 So I don't know.

00:02:37.860 Can you somehow put in your mind the idea of going to the poorest country that you know

00:02:44.560 and having a luxury five-star experience because you're just completely shut off from all the

00:02:51.220 starving citizens?

00:02:53.020 It would be kind of weird, wouldn't it?

00:02:55.400 I'd do it.

00:02:56.840 You know, I wouldn't do it because it's too far away.

00:02:59.260 But if it were, let's say, a 10-minute drive to North Korea, I would do that. 1.00

00:03:06.080 Yeah.

00:03:06.820 Well, eight minutes.

00:03:08.640 Well, seven minutes.

00:03:10.320 I would drive seven minutes to experience that.

00:03:15.580 There is a story in Business Insider that the FBI tried and failed to identify who was behind

00:03:23.420 the famous QAnon movement.

00:03:26.620 Now, does that sound real to you?

00:03:30.060 Do you believe that the FBI was unable to figure out who was behind the Q thing?

00:03:37.000 How hard did they try?

00:03:39.560 Seriously?

00:03:40.880 The people who did Q were more clever than the FBI? 0.54

00:03:45.560 Does that sound real to you?

00:03:50.080 Here's what I think might be more likely.

00:03:53.060 It could be that Q was working with or a part of a CIA operation, possibly to make Trump supporters

00:04:02.960 look bad.

00:04:03.740 Now, why would I say that the CIA would do a hoax, a hoax, to make Trump look bad in 2016?

00:04:14.220 What would prompt me to think that they would do such a thing?

00:04:18.900 Oh.

00:04:20.640 Oh, yeah.

00:04:22.440 Because we now have proof that they did such a thing.

00:04:25.720 Not that specific thing.

00:04:28.080 We don't know that they were behind Q.

00:04:30.120 But you could imagine that that would be a perfect op for them, because all it is is just some

00:04:37.100 online activity.

00:04:39.320 And then if the FBI came looking around, you'd say, hey, I can't tell you anymore, but for

00:04:47.800 national security reasons, we need you to stop looking into the Q situation.

00:04:53.220 So, wouldn't the FBI stand down if the CIA told them to?

00:04:59.320 So, I don't believe anything about that story.

00:05:04.200 Well, let me add to the list the people you don't ever want to make mad at you.

00:05:10.860 You know that Trump is on that list, right?

00:05:13.420 You never want Trump to be mad at you, because you're going to get a nickname.

00:05:18.260 And it's going to be sticky.

00:05:20.420 But you also don't want to make Roger Stone mad at you.

00:05:26.360 So, I don't know why he's mad at Chuck Schumer.

00:05:31.020 I don't know why he's mad at him.

00:05:33.040 And I wouldn't bring this up, except he put it on X, so it's public.

00:05:38.540 So, Roger Stone wrote on X, Chuck Schumer is such a piece of shit that when he broke up

00:05:47.200 with his longtime D.C.-based mistress, he demanded that she give him back a mattress 0.89

00:05:53.460 that he had gifted her.

00:05:55.500 It is commonly known all the way back to his days in the New York Assembly

00:05:59.020 that Chuck Schumer is a common whore whose vote can be purchased for very little. 0.99

00:06:05.260 So, here's why I'm laughing.

00:06:12.880 How many of you have had the experience where you enter into a long-term relationship

00:06:19.460 after having not been in one?

00:06:23.680 What is the first thing that you're...

00:06:26.460 Let's say this is for the guys.

00:06:28.100 I don't know if it works the other way.

00:06:29.260 But for the men, have you ever had your new long-term relationship say,

00:06:35.080 you have to get rid of that mattress?

00:06:38.680 Have any of you experienced that?

00:06:41.120 I'm pretty sure I've experienced that.

00:06:44.020 That's all I'm going to say.

00:06:46.000 And you can understand why, because you have just the thought of it.

00:06:49.920 But I just have this image in my mind of Chuck Schumer's wife scrolling through X,

00:07:02.280 and the algorithm just pops this up because her husband is mentioned.

00:07:07.200 And she's sitting there in the bed, you know, on that mattress

00:07:11.980 that he got back from his mistress.

00:07:15.260 And she's like, oh, shit.

00:07:17.380 Now, I'm just making that up.

00:07:20.900 I have no reason to believe he has ever been unfaithful to his wife

00:07:25.100 or to his mattress.

00:07:28.240 So I'm just telling you what Roger Stone said.

00:07:31.240 The rest is a movie that you play in your head that's kind of funny.

00:07:36.120 Well, Ghislaine Maxwell has been kind of quietly moved to a much friendlier prison,

00:07:44.860 one that's more comfortable, they call it.

00:07:49.380 Now, are prisons meant to be comfortable?

00:07:53.840 Well, I guess she got one in Texas,

00:07:55.840 so she's already moved to the more comfortable prison. 0.93

00:08:00.160 And apparently Maxwell is reportedly going to seek a pardon from Trump

00:08:07.740 or already is trying.

00:08:08.740 And so here's what we can know for sure.

00:08:17.420 We know that the Trump administration was willing to negotiate with her

00:08:23.600 because the moving to a more comfortable prison

00:08:27.660 was certainly the result of a negotiation,

00:08:31.220 as in I'll give you what you want,

00:08:33.380 but you've got to get me out of this hellhole. 0.73

00:08:35.020 So there's that.

00:08:39.560 So Trump was recently asked if he would consider pardoning Maxwell.

00:08:45.120 I'm going to tell you his exact words,

00:08:48.000 and then I want you to tell me if I've trained you well enough

00:08:51.860 to know what the future holds.

00:08:56.340 All right?

00:08:57.040 So Trump has asked,

00:08:58.240 would you consider pardoning Maxwell?

00:09:00.940 Well, and Trump said, quote,

00:09:03.080 I'm allowed to do it.

00:09:06.660 All right?

00:09:07.540 Now, if that's all you knew,

00:09:10.320 is he planning to pardon her?

00:09:14.200 What do you think?

00:09:17.220 Yeah.

00:09:18.480 Now, it doesn't mean it's a final decision

00:09:21.200 because Trump famously, you know,

00:09:25.080 gathers information until it's time to make the final decision.

00:09:28.200 So it's not a final decision.

00:09:30.640 But he's signaling pretty clearly

00:09:33.620 that that's on the, you know, top three options,

00:09:37.540 if you know what I mean.

00:09:38.740 So it doesn't mean he'll do it.

00:09:41.340 You know, he may be advised against it,

00:09:43.860 and I can see why.

00:09:45.480 But he's definitely considering it.

00:09:50.080 And I think it was the same Newsmax reporter

00:09:53.220 who asked on this.

00:09:55.120 He said, would you consider pardoning Sean Diddy Combs?

00:09:59.900 All right?

00:10:00.480 Now I'm going to read you Trump's answer

00:10:03.080 to would he pardon Sean Diddy Combs,

00:10:06.400 and then you have to tell me what the future holds.

00:10:09.740 All right?

00:10:12.340 He said, probably.

00:10:16.420 You know, I was very friendly with him.

00:10:18.380 I got along with him great.

00:10:20.040 Now, probably refers to considering.

00:10:22.820 It doesn't mean doing it.

00:10:24.840 He said, I would probably consider it,

00:10:27.420 which is different from saying he would do it.

00:10:29.920 So is he going to do it?

00:10:31.160 Or is he just probably going to consider it?

00:10:35.720 Well, I'll give you one more hint.

00:10:39.100 Len Trump went on to note

00:10:41.500 that the jury found Diddy half innocent,

00:10:46.200 and he doesn't really understand

00:10:47.700 what the rest of the charges are about.

00:10:49.460 So Trump has already minimized

00:10:52.660 what the charges were

00:10:54.460 and said he was a friend,

00:10:56.340 he got along with him,

00:10:57.200 and he'd probably consider it.

00:10:59.960 Well, I don't know.

00:11:03.160 I feel like there's a really good chance

00:11:05.340 there might be a pardon for both of them.

00:11:08.420 Definitely not final decisions,

00:11:10.680 but he's open to it.

00:11:12.420 I like the fact that he's open to it.

00:11:15.160 You know, we can argue later

00:11:18.220 whether doing it makes sense.

00:11:21.020 You know, that's a different conversation.

00:11:22.540 But the fact that he's open to considering it,

00:11:26.080 I like that.

00:11:27.160 I like that, my president.

00:12:28.920 And then Trump says

00:12:34.780 he's ready to release

00:12:35.980 everything tied to Epstein.

00:12:38.440 This was also for Newsmax.

00:12:41.960 But warns it could put people in danger.

00:12:44.780 You know, innocent people

00:12:45.820 who were just described in the files

00:12:48.560 but did not do anything wrong.

00:12:49.860 And then Trump reminds us

00:12:54.000 as he's done a number of times

00:12:55.620 that the same people

00:12:57.640 who, what he calls,

00:12:59.280 ran the Epstein files,

00:13:01.060 in other words,

00:13:01.520 who had control over them

00:13:02.940 and access to them

00:13:04.040 under the Biden administration,

00:13:06.760 are the same people

00:13:08.360 who pushed the Russia hoax.

00:13:13.540 You see what he did there?

00:13:15.000 He just compared

00:13:16.940 the Epstein files situation

00:13:19.000 that people are wondering

00:13:20.440 why he's not releasing them

00:13:21.840 to the Russia hoax

00:13:24.200 to make the point

00:13:25.680 that some of that

00:13:26.520 might be negative for him

00:13:28.420 but fake.

00:13:32.460 So we're being primed

00:13:34.360 that if there's something in there

00:13:36.180 that's negative to Trump

00:13:37.440 that it might be planted.

00:13:39.900 It might be fake.

00:13:42.320 Now, Trump is so good

00:13:44.780 of this.

00:13:47.260 Now, separate from the question

00:13:49.140 of whether there's anything

00:13:51.660 in there that you should worry about,

00:13:53.880 separate from the question

00:13:54.920 of whether this is, you know,

00:13:56.160 an ethical way to approach this,

00:13:59.260 I'm just going to talk about

00:14:00.940 communication and persuasion.

00:14:04.140 This is kind of genius.

00:14:08.060 He's just laying down

00:14:09.480 the thought

00:14:11.420 that you can't trust

00:14:12.720 anything that came

00:14:13.720 from the other side.

00:14:14.780 that it might be

00:14:15.760 entirely made up.

00:14:17.340 And now that we know,

00:14:18.900 we're not guessing,

00:14:20.600 but at this point,

00:14:21.420 we know

00:14:21.900 that the Russia collusion hoax

00:14:24.340 was, you know,

00:14:25.680 the main people

00:14:27.180 in the entire administration

00:14:28.520 of Obama

00:14:29.280 literally just making stuff up

00:14:31.880 in a way

00:14:33.460 that you would have imagined

00:14:34.840 before any of it happened.

00:14:36.800 You would have imagined

00:14:37.860 that could never happen.

00:14:38.900 there's no way

00:14:40.400 that the whole government

00:14:42.220 at that time

00:14:43.340 was coordinating

00:14:44.920 this fake hoax

00:14:46.240 and there's no way

00:14:47.520 that happened.

00:14:48.460 But it did.

00:14:50.500 And now Trump

00:14:51.140 has that as a weapon

00:14:52.120 so that whenever

00:14:53.480 there's something

00:14:54.060 he wants you to

00:14:54.940 not believe

00:14:55.960 from the other side,

00:14:57.580 he just says,

00:14:58.900 oh,

00:14:59.140 have you heard of

00:14:59.540 the Russia hoax?

00:15:02.040 Now,

00:15:02.560 I don't know

00:15:02.980 if the Democrats

00:15:03.680 believe any of that's a hoax

00:15:05.120 because they're listening

00:15:06.340 to completely different news.

00:15:09.700 But if he keeps

00:15:10.740 his base on his side,

00:15:12.400 that's better than nothing.

00:15:13.340 And you could imagine

00:15:15.620 that if something

00:15:17.020 negative for Trump

00:15:18.080 came out in those files

00:15:19.500 or something

00:15:20.480 that could be

00:15:21.460 interpreted as negative,

00:15:23.220 which is probably

00:15:23.800 the bigger risk,

00:15:26.080 that probably

00:15:28.440 half of his base

00:15:29.480 would say,

00:15:29.960 well,

00:15:30.100 that's fake,

00:15:31.380 just like the

00:15:32.040 Russian collusion hoax.

00:15:35.260 Well,

00:15:35.820 apparently

00:15:36.340 the Supreme Court

00:15:37.520 is taking a case.

00:15:39.180 I don't know

00:15:39.660 too much about it,

00:15:41.020 but I saw a post

00:15:42.600 by Eric Doherty

00:15:43.680 on X.

00:15:45.720 And I guess

00:15:46.580 the case

00:15:47.120 will consider

00:15:47.960 ending race-based

00:15:49.600 districts

00:15:51.220 for voting.

00:15:52.740 Now,

00:15:53.040 what I think

00:15:53.760 that means

00:15:54.380 is that when

00:15:55.620 the government

00:15:57.660 in charge

00:15:58.240 of a state

00:15:58.880 gerrymanders,

00:16:00.580 in other words,

00:16:01.100 they draw the lines

00:16:02.140 of this district

00:16:03.160 is,

00:16:04.020 you know,

00:16:04.400 for this election,

00:16:07.400 this district

00:16:07.980 is for this candidate,

00:16:09.700 et cetera,

00:16:10.460 that they can draw them

00:16:11.980 in a sort of

00:16:13.200 illogical,

00:16:14.780 tortured way

00:16:15.560 so that they can

00:16:16.720 put a bunch of

00:16:17.680 non-white people

00:16:19.040 in the same place.

00:16:20.600 And that

00:16:21.320 pretty much

00:16:22.120 guarantees

00:16:22.640 that they get

00:16:23.460 more elections.

00:16:26.380 They win more.

00:16:29.100 So,

00:16:30.100 do you think

00:16:31.600 that the Supreme Court

00:16:33.020 will rule

00:16:34.060 that it's illegal

00:16:36.080 to do race-based

00:16:37.760 gerrymandering?

00:16:40.720 I didn't know

00:16:41.520 that they did that,

00:16:42.380 actually,

00:16:42.740 but it makes sense

00:16:43.880 because given

00:16:45.860 that you can

00:16:46.780 pretty well,

00:16:48.300 you can pretty well

00:16:49.880 predict,

00:16:50.560 you know,

00:16:51.180 which ethnic

00:16:52.020 and demographic groups

00:16:53.200 are going to go

00:16:53.760 for which candidate,

00:16:55.140 it kind of makes sense

00:16:56.300 that they would

00:16:57.160 game that system.

00:16:59.060 So,

00:17:00.540 I don't know

00:17:01.780 what would be

00:17:02.320 the reasoning

00:17:02.920 for making it

00:17:03.780 illegal

00:17:04.380 because

00:17:06.340 would that be

00:17:07.360 racial discrimination?

00:17:10.340 Would it?

00:17:11.620 Or would it be

00:17:12.540 racial favoritism?

00:17:14.800 It's sort of

00:17:15.440 neither,

00:17:16.200 is it?

00:17:16.960 Because it's not

00:17:17.880 being done

00:17:18.360 for the benefit

00:17:19.060 of the people

00:17:20.700 in the district.

00:17:22.220 It's being done

00:17:23.120 for the benefit

00:17:23.720 of the politicians.

00:17:26.020 So,

00:17:27.040 if there's no

00:17:28.060 racial

00:17:28.660 sort of benefit

00:17:30.960 or cost,

00:17:33.020 I don't know,

00:17:33.600 they could probably

00:17:34.060 find some reason

00:17:34.820 to strike that down.

00:17:36.900 If that got

00:17:37.700 struck down,

00:17:38.540 some people say

00:17:39.360 that would be

00:17:39.840 the end of

00:17:40.740 Democrats ever

00:17:42.660 being in control

00:17:43.680 of anything

00:17:44.180 because they're

00:17:45.280 already knocked

00:17:45.920 down so badly

00:17:46.740 their reputation

00:17:47.700 is in tatters.

00:17:49.680 But,

00:17:50.000 if this redistricting

00:17:51.820 thing happens

00:17:52.700 and they have

00:17:53.600 to undo

00:17:54.400 the districts

00:17:55.940 that were

00:17:56.580 created just

00:17:57.640 to be maximized,

00:17:59.100 you know,

00:17:59.360 black voters,

00:18:00.980 et cetera,

00:18:01.280 that could 0.68

00:18:03.340 open up a lot

00:18:04.100 of possibilities

00:18:05.020 for the Republicans.

00:18:06.680 So,

00:18:07.500 this could be

00:18:08.500 the biggest story

00:18:09.160 of the year

00:18:09.680 because it

00:18:11.440 could determine

00:18:12.240 who's in charge

00:18:13.960 for decades.

00:18:16.720 Maybe.

00:18:17.280 J.D.

00:18:20.380 Vance

00:18:20.800 shows that he

00:18:22.700 has the right

00:18:23.280 stuff to

00:18:23.860 someday be

00:18:24.460 president,

00:18:25.380 which is

00:18:26.320 that he has

00:18:26.880 a command

00:18:27.740 of the issues

00:18:28.580 and has good

00:18:29.700 policy preferences,

00:18:31.320 et cetera,

00:18:31.620 but he's also

00:18:32.800 funny.

00:18:34.240 And you

00:18:35.060 can't

00:18:35.420 underestimate

00:18:35.900 that.

00:18:37.260 He is

00:18:37.920 genuinely

00:18:38.520 funny.

00:18:40.200 And he was

00:18:40.860 talking about

00:18:41.440 the Sidney

00:18:42.380 Sweeney

00:18:42.980 commercial

00:18:43.920 for,

00:18:44.440 what's it

00:18:46.420 called,

00:18:46.680 American Eagle

00:18:47.420 and their

00:18:48.520 genes and

00:18:49.700 how the

00:18:50.320 Democrats

00:18:52.100 decided

00:18:52.620 anybody

00:18:55.340 who likes

00:18:57.160 her talking

00:18:57.680 about her

00:18:58.100 genes,

00:18:59.760 you know,

00:18:59.940 which was

00:19:00.280 a play on

00:19:00.760 word of her

00:19:01.380 pants,

00:19:02.480 but also

00:19:03.160 the fact

00:19:03.560 that she's

00:19:03.960 attractive,

00:19:04.580 so she has

00:19:05.000 good genes.

00:19:07.040 And so

00:19:08.420 the Democrats,

00:19:09.660 the weirdest

00:19:10.400 among them,

00:19:11.120 have decided

00:19:11.580 that you're

00:19:12.820 a Nazi 0.56

00:19:13.280 if you're

00:19:14.800 agreeing that

00:19:15.460 she has

00:19:15.740 good genes.

00:19:18.860 And so

00:19:20.840 J.D.

00:19:21.340 Vance,

00:19:21.820 he said,

00:19:23.620 I actually

00:19:24.060 thought that

00:19:24.580 one of the

00:19:25.080 lessons from

00:19:26.640 the 2024

00:19:27.440 election,

00:19:29.460 for one

00:19:30.200 of the

00:19:30.420 lessons for

00:19:30.980 Democrats

00:19:31.520 is that

00:19:32.060 they're

00:19:32.580 going to

00:19:32.840 be less

00:19:33.340 crazy.

00:19:35.040 And he

00:19:35.360 said,

00:19:35.840 nope,

00:19:36.880 they've

00:19:37.180 decided that

00:19:37.980 they're going

00:19:39.240 to call

00:19:39.560 people who

00:19:40.120 think Sidney

00:19:40.940 Sweeney is

00:19:41.480 attractive,

00:19:42.080 they're going

00:19:42.340 to call

00:19:42.600 them Nazis. 0.81

00:19:46.940 Now,

00:19:47.520 that's just

00:19:48.000 perfect.

00:19:49.820 We've all

00:19:50.500 been talking

00:19:51.000 about this

00:19:51.900 story,

00:19:53.100 but until

00:19:54.400 he put it

00:19:54.980 in that

00:19:55.840 framing,

00:19:56.660 it wasn't

00:19:57.140 as funny

00:19:57.960 as it

00:19:58.320 is now.

00:19:59.280 But the

00:20:00.060 way you

00:20:00.680 think about

00:20:01.200 it now,

00:20:01.480 that's a

00:20:01.780 reframe,

00:20:02.460 by the

00:20:02.660 way, and

00:20:03.640 he did

00:20:03.960 that perfectly.

00:20:06.160 Just

00:20:06.680 thinking about

00:20:07.340 the fact

00:20:07.820 that if

00:20:08.780 you decided

00:20:09.460 that one

00:20:10.140 of the

00:20:10.420 most attractive

00:20:11.200 people in

00:20:11.860 the public

00:20:12.360 domain,

00:20:13.660 if you

00:20:14.040 decide that

00:20:14.620 she is

00:20:14.940 in fact

00:20:15.320 attractive,

00:20:16.660 you're

00:20:16.920 a Nazi. 0.68

00:20:19.600 Have you

00:20:20.220 noticed that

00:20:20.880 the whole

00:20:21.220 Nazi thing

00:20:22.040 went from

00:20:23.260 the main

00:20:23.860 thing that

00:20:24.380 people said

00:20:24.840 about Trump

00:20:25.480 to, you

00:20:26.980 hear it,

00:20:27.880 you still

00:20:28.260 hear it,

00:20:29.140 but it's a

00:20:30.080 little bit

00:20:30.340 more rare,

00:20:31.300 and it's the

00:20:31.680 weirder people

00:20:32.400 who say it

00:20:32.880 now, and

00:20:34.040 that the

00:20:34.580 leadership,

00:20:37.020 I would say

00:20:38.000 it's obvious

00:20:38.520 they had a

00:20:39.080 meeting,

00:20:39.880 and they

00:20:40.180 came to a

00:20:40.680 decision,

00:20:41.640 that at

00:20:42.020 least the

00:20:42.520 top people

00:20:43.280 in the

00:20:43.880 Democrat

00:20:44.220 Party,

00:20:45.740 at least

00:20:46.340 them,

00:20:47.440 they would

00:20:47.980 stop saying

00:20:48.600 Nazi because

00:20:49.260 it didn't

00:20:49.600 work,

00:20:51.080 and they

00:20:51.480 were going

00:20:51.720 to start

00:20:52.060 saying something

00:20:52.940 like authoritarian

00:20:53.980 and oligarch.

00:20:56.120 Now,

00:20:56.760 wouldn't you

00:20:57.320 agree that

00:20:57.920 that must

00:20:58.440 have been a

00:20:58.900 consultant,

00:21:00.460 somebody gave

00:21:01.160 them that

00:21:01.500 advice?

00:21:02.400 Stop saying

00:21:03.240 Nazis and

00:21:03.920 Nazis because

00:21:04.800 it just

00:21:05.800 hasn't worked,

00:21:06.540 we've been

00:21:06.820 doing it for

00:21:07.260 eight years,

00:21:07.800 it hasn't

00:21:08.040 worked yet,

00:21:08.920 so instead

00:21:10.000 say oligarch

00:21:11.520 or capitalist

00:21:15.120 or something,

00:21:16.020 I don't know,

00:21:16.980 they got

00:21:17.480 nothing.

00:21:20.840 Well,

00:21:21.440 the economic

00:21:22.260 data,

00:21:22.940 is confusing.

00:21:26.500 So,

00:21:27.060 let's see,

00:21:27.560 according to

00:21:28.060 the Wall

00:21:28.540 Street Journal,

00:21:30.220 economic

00:21:31.000 output and

00:21:31.820 consumer

00:21:32.280 spending

00:21:32.900 slowed

00:21:33.680 from the

00:21:35.420 first half

00:21:35.900 of the

00:21:36.080 year,

00:21:36.740 that's not

00:21:37.440 good,

00:21:38.560 and then

00:21:40.580 employment

00:21:41.560 was revised

00:21:43.660 downwards

00:21:44.320 tremendously,

00:21:45.600 we'll talk

00:21:46.060 about that

00:21:46.440 in a minute,

00:21:47.540 and price

00:21:49.620 pressure remains

00:21:50.660 stubborn,

00:21:51.120 stubborn,

00:21:51.280 they say.

00:21:51.800 There's not

00:21:52.220 a lot of

00:21:52.680 inflation,

00:21:53.340 but price

00:21:54.360 pressure remains

00:21:55.360 stubborn.

00:21:56.820 I guess that's

00:21:57.340 what you say

00:21:57.880 when you don't

00:21:59.040 want to give

00:21:59.460 them credit

00:21:59.920 for keeping

00:22:00.460 inflation low.

00:22:01.340 inflation low.

00:22:03.400 But,

00:22:03.960 the somewhat

00:22:05.400 negative news

00:22:07.120 about the

00:22:07.520 economy came

00:22:08.400 out right

00:22:09.000 after the

00:22:10.300 Federal Reserve

00:22:11.200 met and

00:22:12.420 decided to

00:22:12.980 hold interest

00:22:13.600 rates steady.

00:22:15.140 If they had

00:22:16.220 known that

00:22:17.480 the numbers

00:22:17.940 that were just

00:22:18.880 going to come

00:22:19.440 in were not

00:22:21.420 so great,

00:22:23.600 it would have

00:22:24.060 put pressure

00:22:24.540 on them to

00:22:25.080 lower interest

00:22:25.660 rates to

00:22:26.380 goose the

00:22:27.320 economy,

00:22:27.740 economy.

00:22:31.460 So,

00:22:32.460 what do you

00:22:34.920 think about

00:22:35.360 that?

00:22:38.500 If you're

00:22:39.920 watching the

00:22:40.460 news,

00:22:41.560 is it your

00:22:42.040 belief that

00:22:42.600 the economy

00:22:43.300 is doing

00:22:43.760 great,

00:22:44.700 or is it

00:22:45.800 your belief

00:22:46.400 that the

00:22:46.820 economy has

00:22:47.580 already stalled?

00:22:50.080 Because the

00:22:50.820 numbers are all

00:22:51.460 over the place,

00:22:52.620 but they're not

00:22:53.180 really extreme,

00:22:54.720 and there are

00:22:55.220 reasons why it

00:22:56.380 would be sort

00:22:56.820 of bumpy up

00:22:57.600 and down

00:22:58.000 because of

00:22:58.680 the tariff

00:22:59.240 stuff and

00:22:59.740 the uncertainty,

00:23:00.680 et cetera.

00:23:01.560 So, I don't

00:23:02.440 know.

00:23:03.660 Honestly, I

00:23:04.340 can't tell if

00:23:05.100 the economy

00:23:06.420 is doing well

00:23:07.020 or not.

00:23:07.740 Let's talk

00:23:08.180 about the

00:23:08.540 jobs numbers.

00:23:10.200 So, apparently

00:23:10.800 the woman who 0.89

00:23:11.660 is in charge

00:23:12.480 of producing

00:23:14.100 the jobs

00:23:14.820 numbers

00:23:15.360 reduced down

00:23:17.400 what looked

00:23:18.340 like really

00:23:18.820 good numbers

00:23:19.600 for Trump

00:23:20.440 the last

00:23:22.280 two months,

00:23:23.000 must have

00:23:23.260 been May

00:23:23.580 and June,

00:23:24.380 and just

00:23:24.880 grossly

00:23:25.920 reduced the

00:23:28.580 estimate down

00:23:29.460 to terrible

00:23:30.100 numbers.

00:23:31.320 So, it

00:23:31.560 went from,

00:23:32.120 oh, really

00:23:32.620 strong employment

00:23:33.460 to, oh,

00:23:35.260 that looks

00:23:35.660 like trouble.

00:23:37.420 Now, what

00:23:39.000 is behind

00:23:39.560 that?

00:23:39.940 And by the

00:23:40.320 way, she 0.85

00:23:40.740 was immediately

00:23:41.320 fired.

00:23:42.600 Trump

00:23:43.140 fired her. 0.79

00:23:46.200 Now, it's

00:23:46.860 the same

00:23:47.280 woman who 0.99

00:23:47.940 did the

00:23:48.300 same job

00:23:49.000 for Biden.

00:23:50.060 And you

00:23:50.260 remember,

00:23:50.660 Biden kept

00:23:51.240 having these

00:23:51.740 good numbers,

00:23:52.640 and then

00:23:53.500 they would

00:23:53.900 be revised

00:23:54.640 down.

00:23:56.420 Did you

00:23:56.840 ever wonder,

00:23:57.820 like, what

00:23:58.260 is the

00:23:58.600 mechanism that

00:24:00.100 makes that

00:24:00.540 happen?

00:24:01.260 Is somebody

00:24:01.760 just sitting

00:24:02.320 in a room

00:24:02.960 and saying,

00:24:04.160 all right,

00:24:04.580 well, I'll

00:24:05.360 just make up

00:24:05.820 some numbers?

00:24:07.780 Not likely,

00:24:08.600 right?

00:24:08.940 It's not likely

00:24:09.600 somebody's just

00:24:10.300 literally making

00:24:11.440 up numbers.

00:24:12.200 There might be

00:24:12.760 some estimates,

00:24:14.440 but that would,

00:24:15.360 you know, be

00:24:15.680 based on some

00:24:16.320 rational process.

00:24:18.440 I heard

00:24:19.160 somebody made

00:24:20.300 a comment on

00:24:21.440 X that sounds

00:24:22.780 right to me,

00:24:24.100 which is

00:24:25.140 that the

00:24:27.900 jobs report

00:24:28.720 is based on

00:24:30.040 people's

00:24:30.660 self-reporting,

00:24:32.180 or maybe you

00:24:33.140 have to call

00:24:33.780 it and ask.

00:24:34.980 But imagine

00:24:35.560 all these

00:24:36.140 little self-reporting

00:24:37.480 places all

00:24:40.240 over the

00:24:40.620 country.

00:24:41.500 How many of

00:24:42.500 them do you

00:24:42.940 think would

00:24:43.560 get their

00:24:44.560 report in

00:24:45.220 on time?

00:24:47.340 And the

00:24:47.860 answer is

00:24:48.320 probably a lot

00:24:49.120 of them would

00:24:49.520 be late,

00:24:50.720 you know,

00:24:50.900 pass a

00:24:51.400 deadline when

00:24:52.020 they have

00:24:52.260 to report

00:24:52.700 it.

00:24:53.260 It wouldn't

00:24:53.680 matter when

00:24:54.160 the deadline

00:24:54.680 was,

00:24:55.180 just the

00:24:56.260 way the

00:24:56.560 thing,

00:24:56.960 the way the

00:24:57.380 world works

00:24:57.960 is that people

00:24:58.440 are late a lot.

00:24:59.860 So I think

00:25:00.700 what happens,

00:25:01.720 according to

00:25:02.280 one person,

00:25:03.120 is that they

00:25:03.900 don't have all

00:25:04.620 the information

00:25:05.220 by the deadline.

00:25:06.580 So they just

00:25:07.420 do some

00:25:08.060 estimates,

00:25:09.220 such as,

00:25:10.020 well,

00:25:11.080 if this one

00:25:11.880 did that,

00:25:12.540 this one

00:25:12.900 probably was

00:25:13.460 similar to

00:25:13.960 that,

00:25:14.360 so we'll

00:25:14.660 just treat it

00:25:15.320 like it is

00:25:15.800 for now.

00:25:16.520 And then when

00:25:17.040 they get the

00:25:17.540 real numbers,

00:25:18.440 the real numbers

00:25:19.100 are way worse.

00:25:19.780 So it

00:25:21.880 could be

00:25:22.560 that the

00:25:23.460 people producing

00:25:24.260 the numbers

00:25:24.860 are not

00:25:25.440 exactly to

00:25:27.640 blame because

00:25:28.360 they're not

00:25:28.660 making them

00:25:29.240 up,

00:25:30.320 but they

00:25:31.820 might be to

00:25:32.440 blame in the

00:25:33.080 sense that

00:25:33.540 they're managing

00:25:34.840 a system

00:25:35.580 that is so

00:25:37.060 broken you

00:25:37.680 can't even

00:25:38.060 imagine it.

00:25:39.320 That's a pretty

00:25:40.180 broken system.

00:25:41.040 So anyway,

00:25:43.880 maybe that'll

00:25:44.340 get fixed.

00:25:45.860 David Sachs

00:25:46.960 was saying,

00:25:48.280 I think probably

00:25:49.120 on the

00:25:49.580 all-in pod

00:25:50.180 he was saying,

00:25:51.140 that people

00:25:51.940 are realizing

00:25:52.540 that Trump's

00:25:53.120 willingness to

00:25:54.000 raise tariffs

00:25:54.980 on countries

00:25:57.000 as a threat

00:25:57.720 to renegotiate

00:25:58.660 better trade

00:25:59.160 deals is

00:25:59.660 working.

00:26:00.460 If you add

00:26:01.300 it all up,

00:26:01.800 it's effectively

00:26:02.480 $2 trillion

00:26:03.480 of stimulus

00:26:04.520 into the

00:26:05.080 U.S.,

00:26:05.840 but without

00:26:06.360 money printing,

00:26:07.600 so it's

00:26:08.000 non-inflationary.

00:26:09.060 Well,

00:26:10.900 is that

00:26:11.400 true?

00:26:15.500 It's

00:26:16.020 non-inflationary.

00:26:17.800 I mean,

00:26:18.820 compared to

00:26:19.700 printing money,

00:26:20.420 it's non-inflationary.

00:26:21.760 But if you

00:26:22.520 have a hot

00:26:23.000 economy,

00:26:24.420 I suppose

00:26:24.960 just the

00:26:25.480 hardness

00:26:25.760 itself could

00:26:26.640 drive some

00:26:27.940 inflation,

00:26:28.600 but we

00:26:28.840 haven't seen

00:26:29.240 it yet.

00:26:30.360 Claudia was

00:26:31.160 leaving for

00:26:31.580 her pickleball

00:26:32.180 tournament.

00:26:32.760 I've been

00:26:32.980 visualizing my

00:26:33.780 match all

00:26:34.420 week.

00:26:35.320 She was so

00:26:35.840 focused on

00:26:36.340 visualizing that

00:26:37.220 she didn't

00:26:37.660 see the

00:26:37.980 column behind

00:26:38.480 her car,

00:26:39.060 on her

00:26:39.380 backhand

00:26:39.800 side.

00:26:41.540 Good thing

00:26:41.920 Claudia's with

00:26:42.560 Intact,

00:26:43.180 the insurer

00:26:43.720 with the

00:26:44.160 largest network

00:26:44.860 of auto

00:26:45.240 service centers

00:26:45.840 in the

00:26:46.280 country.

00:26:46.940 Everything

00:26:47.240 was taken

00:26:47.700 care of

00:26:48.120 under one

00:26:48.580 roof,

00:26:49.020 and she

00:26:49.240 was on

00:26:49.560 her way 0.96

00:26:49.800 in a

00:26:50.000 rental car

00:26:50.520 in no

00:26:50.960 time.

00:26:51.400 I made

00:26:51.900 it to

00:26:52.140 my

00:26:52.320 tournament

00:26:52.760 and lost

00:26:53.840 in the

00:26:54.040 first round.

00:26:54.900 But you

00:26:55.460 got there

00:26:55.900 on time.

00:26:56.720 Intact

00:26:57.040 Insurance,

00:26:57.880 your auto

00:26:58.280 service ace.

00:26:59.340 Certain

00:26:59.500 conditions

00:26:59.880 apply.

00:27:00.260 If you

00:27:04.960 had to

00:27:05.560 guess,

00:27:06.440 and I

00:27:07.060 wasn't

00:27:07.420 about to

00:27:07.920 tell you,

00:27:08.820 would you

00:27:09.220 guess that

00:27:09.800 Exxon and

00:27:10.580 Chevron were

00:27:11.440 having record

00:27:12.260 profits because

00:27:14.040 Trump is

00:27:15.500 drill, baby 0.98

00:27:16.040 drill, and

00:27:16.700 they would

00:27:16.940 have more

00:27:17.340 options for

00:27:18.060 making money

00:27:18.580 and the

00:27:19.940 economy is

00:27:20.480 improving

00:27:20.880 compared to

00:27:21.640 prior years,

00:27:22.800 et cetera?

00:27:23.020 Or would

00:27:23.840 you imagine

00:27:24.280 Exxon and

00:27:24.960 Chevron have

00:27:26.560 flat or

00:27:27.200 falling profits?

00:27:28.440 The answer

00:27:28.900 is their

00:27:30.480 profits at

00:27:31.280 Exxon and

00:27:31.840 Chevron are

00:27:32.360 at a

00:27:32.640 four-year

00:27:33.140 low,

00:27:34.020 according to

00:27:34.980 Jamie Smith

00:27:35.700 at the

00:27:36.060 Financial

00:27:36.560 Times.

00:27:38.160 And it's

00:27:38.920 because the

00:27:39.620 oil prices

00:27:40.280 are not

00:27:40.700 that high.

00:27:42.260 So who

00:27:44.400 would be

00:27:44.780 bigger

00:27:45.200 oligarchs 1.00

00:27:46.240 than the

00:27:47.200 heads of

00:27:47.740 the oil

00:27:48.320 companies?

00:27:49.520 Wouldn't

00:27:49.800 they be

00:27:50.100 like the

00:27:50.480 top

00:27:50.740 oligarchs? 0.99

00:27:52.480 And

00:27:52.800 Trump has

00:27:53.320 created a

00:27:53.940 situation

00:27:54.440 with

00:27:54.760 Drill Baby

00:27:55.340 Drill

00:27:55.780 that creates

00:27:57.460 more supply

00:27:58.400 and

00:28:00.420 therefore

00:28:01.620 lowers

00:28:02.120 prices,

00:28:03.400 and it

00:28:03.640 lowered prices

00:28:04.300 enough to

00:28:04.860 lower their

00:28:05.280 profits.

00:28:07.040 So I

00:28:09.180 feel like

00:28:09.780 this is an

00:28:10.300 argument against

00:28:11.020 the whole

00:28:11.480 oligarch

00:28:12.100 thing.

00:28:13.260 So Trump

00:28:13.780 did whatever

00:28:14.340 he needed

00:28:14.800 to do that

00:28:15.500 was good

00:28:15.960 for the

00:28:16.500 consumer

00:28:17.140 because it

00:28:18.420 lowered gas

00:28:19.000 prices.

00:28:20.340 And what

00:28:20.980 did he care

00:28:21.580 about the

00:28:22.000 oligarchs? 0.99

00:28:22.800 The people

00:28:23.600 who were

00:28:23.960 the heads

00:28:24.440 of Exxon

00:28:25.120 and Chevron?

00:28:26.840 Didn't

00:28:27.400 give a

00:28:27.700 fuck.

00:28:28.600 Didn't

00:28:29.160 care at

00:28:29.540 all.

00:28:30.360 He just

00:28:30.940 lowered our

00:28:31.420 gas prices.

00:28:32.420 Thank you.

00:28:33.520 Appreciate

00:28:33.840 it.

00:28:35.560 Well,

00:28:36.160 here's a

00:28:36.720 story that

00:28:37.920 I haven't

00:28:38.600 been following,

00:28:40.100 so I might

00:28:40.620 be missing

00:28:41.080 something about

00:28:41.840 it.

00:28:42.020 But Josh

00:28:42.520 Hawley,

00:28:43.940 who is a

00:28:44.900 prominent

00:28:45.400 Republican

00:28:46.000 senator,

00:28:46.620 he's

00:28:48.680 pushing some

00:28:49.540 legislation

00:28:50.120 that would

00:28:50.580 prevent

00:28:51.160 people in

00:28:53.020 Congress

00:28:53.340 from trading

00:28:54.360 stocks,

00:28:55.420 individual

00:28:55.840 stocks,

00:28:56.420 I guess.

00:28:57.540 And that's

00:28:58.680 because they

00:28:59.520 would have

00:28:59.840 insider

00:29:00.320 information.

00:29:01.360 Right now,

00:29:02.220 they're the

00:29:02.560 only ones

00:29:03.100 who can

00:29:03.820 legally use

00:29:05.400 insider

00:29:05.880 information to

00:29:06.680 make money

00:29:07.080 in the stock

00:29:07.520 market.

00:29:07.840 And the

00:29:08.640 allegation is

00:29:09.460 that Nancy 0.77

00:29:10.020 Pelosi has

00:29:10.780 made hundreds

00:29:11.760 of millions

00:29:12.320 in stock

00:29:14.240 investment

00:29:15.220 gains,

00:29:16.000 and maybe

00:29:16.800 because of

00:29:17.860 her special

00:29:18.920 knowledge.

00:29:21.960 But,

00:29:22.820 interestingly,

00:29:24.520 Trump hates

00:29:25.300 the idea.

00:29:28.140 Well,

00:29:28.440 look who's

00:29:28.980 come to

00:29:29.860 visit.

00:29:31.400 I know.

00:29:33.160 Now you

00:29:33.580 don't care

00:29:33.920 what I say.

00:29:35.500 You only

00:29:35.940 care that

00:29:36.520 my cat

00:29:38.300 is here

00:29:38.680 because

00:29:40.160 he's

00:29:40.880 the star

00:29:41.280 of the

00:29:41.500 show.

00:29:52.240 Say

00:29:52.920 hi to

00:29:53.520 Gary.

00:29:55.640 Gary,

00:29:56.560 don't eat

00:29:57.660 the cords.

00:29:59.780 No.

00:30:01.100 Don't eat

00:30:01.560 the cords.

00:30:03.440 All right.

00:30:04.040 We shall

00:30:04.440 continue.

00:30:06.520 So Josh

00:30:09.000 Hawley

00:30:09.240 has this

00:30:09.700 thing,

00:30:10.400 this

00:30:10.600 legislation

00:30:12.240 he's

00:30:12.760 pushing

00:30:13.060 to prevent

00:30:13.920 congresspeople

00:30:14.760 from trading

00:30:15.340 stocks because

00:30:16.400 they have

00:30:16.660 too much

00:30:17.000 insider

00:30:17.500 information.

00:30:19.380 But Trump

00:30:20.320 doesn't like

00:30:21.040 it because

00:30:22.240 apparently it

00:30:23.040 extends to

00:30:24.120 the executive

00:30:25.640 branch.

00:30:26.940 So the

00:30:27.240 president and

00:30:28.000 the vice

00:30:28.360 president would

00:30:29.040 also not be

00:30:29.880 allowed to

00:30:30.340 trade stocks.

00:30:31.580 But I

00:30:32.080 think it

00:30:32.700 also extends

00:30:33.680 to some

00:30:34.340 crypto stuff.

00:30:35.360 I think

00:30:39.520 Trump's

00:30:39.980 main,

00:30:40.780 the biggest

00:30:41.400 part of

00:30:41.820 his personal

00:30:42.720 wealth is

00:30:43.320 now crypto.

00:30:46.160 And don't

00:30:47.080 you imagine

00:30:47.620 that it's

00:30:49.240 hard to

00:30:49.600 know if

00:30:50.260 somebody really

00:30:50.980 made a trade

00:30:51.780 based on their

00:30:52.500 insider knowledge

00:30:53.400 or they just

00:30:54.180 got lucky

00:30:54.680 because things

00:30:55.880 are going to

00:30:56.280 go up or

00:30:56.780 down no

00:30:57.520 matter what

00:30:57.920 you do.

00:30:58.280 Right?

00:30:58.960 So sometimes

00:30:59.940 it's going to

00:31:00.500 look like,

00:31:01.040 oh, you

00:31:02.200 traded that

00:31:02.780 just before

00:31:03.300 this thing

00:31:03.800 happened.

00:31:04.060 You probably

00:31:04.460 knew that.

00:31:06.840 Gary?

00:31:10.440 No.

00:31:13.360 I hope

00:31:13.980 I'm not

00:31:14.340 allergic to

00:31:15.220 cats.

00:31:18.380 So I

00:31:19.080 don't know

00:31:19.400 too much

00:31:19.740 about this

00:31:20.100 story, but

00:31:20.560 I'm going

00:31:20.800 to make

00:31:21.060 the following

00:31:21.720 opinion.

00:31:23.000 It's an

00:31:23.400 uninformed

00:31:24.000 opinion, so

00:31:24.860 if you have

00:31:25.240 a better

00:31:25.520 one, let

00:31:25.940 me know.

00:31:26.860 My opinion

00:31:27.420 is if

00:31:28.440 this

00:31:28.780 legislation

00:31:29.620 takes more

00:31:32.300 than one

00:31:32.860 paragraph

00:31:33.280 to put

00:31:35.740 on paper

00:31:36.240 then I'm

00:31:37.780 opposed to

00:31:38.320 it.

00:31:39.600 Because if

00:31:40.560 it's really

00:31:41.000 complicated

00:31:42.100 and, you

00:31:43.760 know, it

00:31:44.060 affects lots

00:31:44.680 of things

00:31:45.160 and they've

00:31:45.560 got lots

00:31:45.900 of clauses

00:31:46.480 in there

00:31:47.040 and carve

00:31:47.540 outs and

00:31:48.000 stuff like

00:31:48.380 that, it's

00:31:49.160 probably just

00:31:49.660 some form

00:31:50.180 of corruption.

00:31:51.920 You know,

00:31:52.120 as a general

00:31:53.220 statement,

00:31:55.460 where there

00:31:57.460 is

00:31:57.820 complexity,

00:31:59.940 there's just

00:32:00.740 always corruption.

00:32:02.140 So if they

00:32:02.780 could put

00:32:03.120 this on

00:32:03.720 one paragraph,

00:32:05.460 on one

00:32:05.920 piece of

00:32:06.300 paper, and

00:32:07.360 it just

00:32:07.640 says, people

00:32:08.880 in Congress

00:32:09.540 will not do

00:32:10.740 insider trading

00:32:11.600 or something

00:32:13.260 like that.

00:32:14.840 Although I

00:32:15.700 would prefer

00:32:16.200 no legislation

00:32:17.380 at all

00:32:17.980 and just

00:32:20.060 transparency.

00:32:21.480 So there

00:32:22.380 should be

00:32:22.800 full transparency

00:32:23.720 when these

00:32:24.260 guys trade.

00:32:25.460 that would

00:32:26.000 be fair.

00:32:28.420 Well, now

00:32:29.340 that Texas

00:32:30.380 said they're

00:32:31.400 going to do

00:32:31.780 some gerrymandering

00:32:32.780 to create

00:32:33.780 more House

00:32:36.500 representatives

00:32:37.440 and that

00:32:39.020 would give

00:32:39.420 Republicans a

00:32:40.340 big leg up

00:32:41.020 controlling the

00:32:42.240 country,

00:32:43.320 California is

00:32:44.800 going to do

00:32:45.500 it too.

00:32:46.660 So they

00:32:47.260 could probably

00:32:47.880 match whatever

00:32:48.540 Texas does.

00:32:49.960 So here's

00:32:51.740 my thing.

00:32:53.480 This is my

00:32:54.080 thing.

00:32:54.820 Stop it.

00:32:55.460 get away

00:32:57.400 from that.

00:33:01.080 My thing

00:33:01.900 is, don't

00:33:03.880 you think

00:33:04.220 that voting

00:33:04.740 is a little

00:33:05.280 bit of an

00:33:05.860 illusion?

00:33:07.340 Because if

00:33:08.560 you can

00:33:08.940 determine who

00:33:09.760 is representing

00:33:11.740 you by

00:33:12.840 gerrymandering,

00:33:14.200 isn't the

00:33:15.100 gerrymandering

00:33:15.840 the system?

00:33:17.840 I mean, it's

00:33:18.200 almost like,

00:33:18.840 well, we have

00:33:19.300 a system where

00:33:20.700 whoever has the

00:33:21.520 best fake

00:33:22.180 news and

00:33:23.580 does the

00:33:23.920 best gerrymandering

00:33:24.860 and has

00:33:26.140 Mark Elias

00:33:27.000 changing the

00:33:27.880 voting rules and

00:33:28.960 doing all these

00:33:30.040 things that are

00:33:30.540 good for our

00:33:31.040 side, it's

00:33:32.060 those things

00:33:32.760 that determine

00:33:33.420 who's the

00:33:33.920 president.

00:33:34.200 voting is

00:33:36.640 almost, you

00:33:37.400 know, sort

00:33:38.440 of always

00:33:38.860 close and

00:33:40.640 the part that

00:33:41.380 matters is who

00:33:42.340 ran a good

00:33:43.140 hoax.

00:33:44.660 Hey, what's

00:33:46.280 that?

00:33:47.240 Don't do

00:33:47.940 that.

00:33:49.880 Anyway, I've

00:33:50.640 been wondering

00:33:52.260 why this big

00:33:53.060 Russia collusion

00:33:53.940 hoax is not

00:33:56.200 getting, becoming

00:33:57.460 a bigger story

00:33:58.320 because there's

00:33:59.440 no doubt

00:33:59.820 about it.

00:34:00.320 This is the

00:34:00.840 worst thing

00:34:01.340 that's ever

00:34:01.760 happened.

00:34:02.260 I think

00:34:02.660 Russia collusion

00:34:04.060 hoax has to

00:34:04.880 replace Watergate

00:34:06.180 whenever we

00:34:07.920 say, is it

00:34:09.520 worse than

00:34:10.020 Watergate?

00:34:11.220 We never

00:34:12.020 have to say

00:34:12.560 that again.

00:34:13.820 From now on,

00:34:14.840 the new

00:34:15.180 standard is,

00:34:17.180 is it worse

00:34:17.860 than the

00:34:18.240 Russia collusion

00:34:18.900 hoax?

00:34:19.860 That's the

00:34:20.260 new standard.

00:34:21.760 So, use

00:34:23.020 that one.

00:34:24.860 Well,

00:34:25.200 Jonathan

00:34:25.600 Turley,

00:34:26.720 attorney and

00:34:27.760 author.

00:34:30.120 He said

00:34:30.940 there are a

00:34:31.600 lot of

00:34:31.800 people worried

00:34:32.480 in this

00:34:32.940 city tonight.

00:34:33.760 That would

00:34:33.980 be D.C.

00:34:35.660 This is the

00:34:36.560 great reveal

00:34:37.400 that John

00:34:37.960 Ratcliffe was

00:34:38.680 promising, and

00:34:39.860 there's more

00:34:40.220 to come.

00:34:41.340 To which I

00:34:42.260 say, at

00:34:43.700 this point,

00:34:45.140 you know,

00:34:46.140 there's no

00:34:46.480 legal process

00:34:47.440 that's happened,

00:34:48.520 but would

00:34:49.200 you say it's

00:34:49.940 fair to say

00:34:50.640 that we have

00:34:51.840 now exposed

00:34:52.800 the entire

00:34:53.580 crooked

00:34:54.280 network?

00:34:55.620 Because this

00:34:56.460 most recent

00:34:57.320 thing,

00:34:57.760 is that

00:34:58.320 there was

00:34:58.580 a member

00:34:58.960 of the

00:35:00.260 Soros 0.94

00:35:00.660 organization,

00:35:01.600 Leonard

00:35:02.060 Bernardo,

00:35:03.480 who's the

00:35:03.840 head of

00:35:04.180 the Open

00:35:05.580 Society

00:35:06.440 Institute,

00:35:07.160 that's

00:35:07.340 Soros,

00:35:08.860 Eurasia

00:35:10.160 Center,

00:35:11.240 and we

00:35:13.480 now have a

00:35:14.100 document that

00:35:15.180 so far I

00:35:16.060 don't think

00:35:16.540 he's denied.

00:35:18.340 So, it's

00:35:19.060 been out for

00:35:20.080 two days,

00:35:21.340 and I don't

00:35:22.140 think he's

00:35:22.620 said, no,

00:35:23.140 that's a

00:35:23.480 fake.

00:35:24.500 So, I was

00:35:25.260 waiting to see

00:35:26.060 if it was

00:35:26.400 real,

00:35:26.920 because it

00:35:27.240 looked a

00:35:27.540 little bit

00:35:27.820 too on

00:35:28.140 the nose,

00:35:29.220 but I

00:35:29.580 feel like

00:35:29.980 it is

00:35:30.300 now,

00:35:31.060 because if

00:35:31.660 it were

00:35:31.900 fake,

00:35:32.460 the guy

00:35:32.860 whose name

00:35:35.960 is on it

00:35:36.480 would say,

00:35:37.100 whoa, I

00:35:37.720 didn't write

00:35:38.060 that, that's

00:35:38.480 fake.

00:35:39.240 So, it

00:35:39.720 must be

00:35:40.040 real.

00:35:40.560 He would

00:35:40.880 have denied

00:35:41.340 it by

00:35:41.620 now.

00:35:43.680 And what

00:35:44.700 he said

00:35:45.220 was he

00:35:46.760 was fully

00:35:47.500 aware of

00:35:48.300 the Hillary

00:35:49.380 Clinton

00:35:49.840 plan for

00:35:50.900 creating this

00:35:51.840 giant Russia

00:35:52.440 hoax.

00:35:54.880 And so,

00:35:55.700 now we

00:35:56.100 can see the

00:35:57.100 entire network.

00:35:58.260 You can see

00:35:58.780 from the

00:36:00.080 Soros 0.94

00:36:00.560 organization,

00:36:01.600 you can see

00:36:01.980 the CIA,

00:36:03.300 you can see

00:36:03.700 the FBI,

00:36:04.640 you can see

00:36:05.080 what was the

00:36:06.500 executive branch

00:36:07.440 under Obama,

00:36:08.160 and you

00:36:09.360 can see

00:36:09.820 that the

00:36:11.740 entire network,

00:36:12.620 you can even

00:36:13.120 see the

00:36:13.680 fake news,

00:36:16.640 I call them

00:36:17.460 the winged

00:36:18.000 monkeys,

00:36:18.820 the people

00:36:19.160 who are just

00:36:19.540 the assistants

00:36:20.320 helping things

00:36:22.500 happen.

00:36:26.400 All right,

00:36:27.040 you're just

00:36:27.360 sort of

00:36:27.720 relaxing here,

00:36:28.440 aren't you,

00:36:28.780 Gary?

00:36:29.920 Whoa,

00:36:31.360 what are you

00:36:31.920 looking at?

00:36:33.780 You're done

00:36:34.400 now, huh?

00:36:35.820 All right,

00:36:36.240 go down here.

00:36:38.520 There you

00:36:39.060 go.

00:36:41.380 All right.

00:37:03.620 So,

00:37:04.200 we'll see.

00:37:05.200 I'm going to

00:37:05.800 say again,

00:37:06.540 because the

00:37:07.000 more I say

00:37:07.580 it, the

00:37:08.080 better it

00:37:08.500 is.

00:37:09.740 For most

00:37:10.680 of my adult

00:37:11.320 life, I

00:37:11.920 would have

00:37:12.160 been dead

00:37:13.000 set against

00:37:13.900 the current

00:37:15.160 administration

00:37:15.840 trying to

00:37:16.420 put in jail

00:37:17.160 the prior

00:37:18.060 administration.

00:37:19.520 But, this

00:37:20.760 is a special

00:37:21.460 case.

00:37:23.040 This is a

00:37:24.000 case where

00:37:24.680 that prior

00:37:26.340 administration

00:37:27.000 tried really

00:37:28.560 hard to

00:37:30.080 demonize and

00:37:31.120 jail as

00:37:31.940 many Republicans

00:37:32.720 and Trump

00:37:33.660 in particular

00:37:34.340 as they

00:37:35.220 possibly could.

00:37:36.500 They are

00:37:36.920 pure evil

00:37:37.840 and that

00:37:38.660 is not

00:37:39.160 politics as

00:37:39.960 normal.

00:37:40.960 So, if it

00:37:42.220 turns out that

00:37:42.880 they can be

00:37:43.820 jailed, I'm

00:37:45.740 100% in for

00:37:46.840 it.

00:37:47.480 Now, remember

00:37:48.640 when you

00:37:49.620 thought to

00:37:49.980 yourself,

00:37:50.840 oh no, but

00:37:52.020 the country

00:37:52.680 will be torn

00:37:54.460 apart because

00:37:55.660 they'll say he's

00:37:56.240 an authoritarian

00:37:56.880 and all that

00:37:57.660 stuff?

00:37:57.900 have you

00:38:00.040 noticed somebody

00:38:00.840 pointed this

00:38:01.400 out?

00:38:02.200 I'll give

00:38:02.860 them credit

00:38:03.420 in a minute

00:38:03.900 when we get

00:38:04.420 to it.

00:38:05.000 Have you

00:38:05.280 noticed that

00:38:05.780 there was

00:38:06.020 this big

00:38:06.420 outcry about

00:38:07.220 PBS and

00:38:08.780 what's the

00:38:11.060 other one?

00:38:11.620 PBS and

00:38:12.640 NPR.

00:38:14.420 I guess they're

00:38:15.120 owned by the

00:38:15.660 same entity.

00:38:16.880 And they're

00:38:17.240 going to go

00:38:17.720 out of business

00:38:18.360 because they

00:38:19.460 lost their

00:38:20.060 government

00:38:20.500 funding.

00:38:22.440 And I

00:38:23.200 don't understand

00:38:23.820 that story

00:38:24.420 because government

00:38:25.800 funding was a

00:38:26.660 small percentage

00:38:27.340 of their

00:38:27.840 total funding.

00:38:29.140 To which I

00:38:29.980 say, were

00:38:30.580 they lying

00:38:31.140 about that?

00:38:32.660 Were they

00:38:33.080 lying the

00:38:33.700 whole time and

00:38:34.360 government

00:38:34.760 funding was

00:38:35.520 most of their

00:38:36.260 funding?

00:38:37.140 Why would

00:38:37.560 they close?

00:38:39.420 But they've

00:38:40.160 announced that

00:38:40.860 they're just

00:38:41.220 going out of

00:38:41.700 business.

00:38:43.320 Now, have

00:38:44.400 you noticed

00:38:44.840 that there's

00:38:45.260 not much

00:38:45.660 outcry?

00:38:47.700 There's not a

00:38:48.440 lot of people

00:38:48.860 who are saying,

00:38:49.380 well, looks

00:38:50.440 like it's the

00:38:50.920 end of the

00:38:51.320 world, the

00:38:51.840 NPR and

00:38:53.360 PBS are

00:38:54.420 going away.

00:38:55.620 Not really.

00:38:57.340 Because the

00:38:58.980 Democrats just

00:38:59.960 don't seem to

00:39:00.820 have anything

00:39:02.480 like a

00:39:03.960 pushback.

00:39:04.980 So this is

00:39:06.160 the most

00:39:06.480 unique time

00:39:07.280 in our

00:39:07.580 history where

00:39:08.560 Trump could

00:39:09.160 jail, you

00:39:10.320 know, 10

00:39:11.040 prominent

00:39:11.500 members of

00:39:12.220 the prior

00:39:12.700 administration,

00:39:14.040 prior that

00:39:15.580 would include

00:39:16.160 the Obama

00:39:17.000 administration.

00:39:18.520 And it

00:39:20.160 would be the

00:39:20.620 one time you

00:39:21.340 could do it

00:39:21.840 without a

00:39:22.340 civil war.

00:39:22.960 because I

00:39:25.240 think you

00:39:25.660 just have to

00:39:26.220 be transparent

00:39:26.980 about it.

00:39:27.840 Here are the

00:39:28.340 charges.

00:39:29.460 Here are the

00:39:29.980 documents you

00:39:30.820 can see for

00:39:31.400 yourself.

00:39:33.080 Obviously, if

00:39:33.800 there was a

00:39:34.440 trial of some

00:39:35.280 sort, we

00:39:36.140 would get

00:39:36.460 lots of

00:39:36.920 details about

00:39:37.700 the evidence,

00:39:38.400 et cetera.

00:39:39.200 So I believe

00:39:40.000 you could,

00:39:41.380 as long as

00:39:42.240 you stayed

00:39:42.680 within the

00:39:43.200 law, which

00:39:45.620 is presumed

00:39:46.780 at all times,

00:39:48.440 you could

00:39:49.300 totally get

00:39:49.760 away with it.

00:39:50.280 and there

00:39:51.360 would not

00:39:51.680 be a civil

00:39:52.140 war.

00:39:54.220 Now, you

00:39:54.760 might say,

00:39:55.360 but then

00:39:55.700 everybody's

00:39:56.320 going to try

00:39:56.720 to do it

00:39:57.240 to the

00:39:57.880 next

00:39:58.700 administration,

00:39:59.720 to which I

00:40:00.260 say, that's

00:40:00.940 our current

00:40:01.420 situation.

00:40:02.900 The current

00:40:03.780 situation is

00:40:06.280 that apparently

00:40:06.900 both sides

00:40:07.560 would be

00:40:07.920 willing to

00:40:08.400 jail the

00:40:08.820 other.

00:40:13.220 Just so

00:40:13.880 you can

00:40:14.200 remember how

00:40:14.840 evil the

00:40:15.580 Democrats

00:40:15.940 are, I

00:40:16.780 saw a post

00:40:17.260 by Hans

00:40:18.320 Mencke,

00:40:20.280 who reminds

00:40:21.700 us of

00:40:22.180 this.

00:40:24.180 General

00:40:24.940 Flynn was

00:40:26.360 forced, so

00:40:27.300 this is back

00:40:28.100 in whenever

00:40:29.480 the Russia

00:40:30.600 hoax stuff

00:40:31.360 was bubbling

00:40:32.800 up.

00:40:33.620 General Flynn

00:40:34.480 was forced

00:40:35.100 to choose

00:40:35.880 between

00:40:36.660 pleading

00:40:37.140 guilty to

00:40:38.140 a completely

00:40:38.700 fabricated

00:40:39.580 charge or

00:40:40.840 seeing his

00:40:41.440 son indicted

00:40:42.200 too.

00:40:43.760 The Mueller

00:40:44.540 thugs are

00:40:45.360 some of the

00:40:45.820 most violent

00:40:46.800 sadistic

00:40:47.340 people imaginable

00:40:48.600 and they

00:40:49.340 deserve every

00:40:50.060 ounce of the

00:40:50.660 comeuppance.

00:40:52.180 They made

00:40:52.920 an American

00:40:54.160 patriot, a

00:40:55.940 general, plead

00:40:57.620 guilty to

00:40:58.380 something that

00:40:59.140 he knew and

00:41:00.240 they knew

00:41:00.720 was made

00:41:02.180 up.

00:41:03.700 And they

00:41:04.420 did it

00:41:04.960 as threat

00:41:06.340 of going

00:41:09.080 after his

00:41:09.620 son.

00:41:11.500 Is that the

00:41:12.580 worst thing

00:41:13.240 you've ever

00:41:14.140 heard?

00:41:14.800 It's one of the

00:41:15.340 worst things I've

00:41:16.040 ever heard in my

00:41:16.600 life.

00:41:18.060 Don't forget

00:41:18.900 that.

00:41:19.860 Because later

00:41:20.800 when you say

00:41:21.380 to yourself,

00:41:21.820 you know,

00:41:22.960 maybe we

00:41:23.580 shouldn't put

00:41:24.300 Hillary Clinton

00:41:25.100 in jail.

00:41:26.520 Just remember

00:41:27.520 what happened

00:41:28.660 to General

00:41:29.240 Flynn.

00:41:30.440 You don't

00:41:31.140 have to

00:41:31.460 remember any

00:41:32.220 of the other

00:41:32.880 things.

00:41:33.880 Just remember

00:41:34.420 that one

00:41:34.820 thing.

00:41:36.060 And then

00:41:36.340 every time

00:41:36.800 your resolve

00:41:37.760 gets a little

00:41:38.500 soft and

00:41:39.680 you think,

00:41:40.220 well, it

00:41:41.480 was years

00:41:42.220 ago, let's

00:41:43.700 just get over

00:41:44.320 it.

00:41:44.560 no, let's

00:41:45.820 not get

00:41:46.200 over it.

00:41:47.340 How about

00:41:47.620 not?

00:41:49.180 How about

00:41:49.900 bringing the

00:41:50.860 arm of

00:41:51.940 justice to

00:41:53.000 this situation?

00:41:55.220 According to

00:41:56.040 Just the

00:41:56.580 News, Jack

00:41:57.840 Smith, you

00:41:58.600 know him,

00:41:59.360 he was a

00:42:00.160 special counsel,

00:42:03.400 prosecutor kind

00:42:04.240 of guy.

00:42:04.960 And he was

00:42:06.120 the one going

00:42:06.620 after Trump

00:42:07.640 for the

00:42:08.480 ridiculous

00:42:09.140 Mar-a-Lago

00:42:10.380 boxes and

00:42:11.400 I don't know,

00:42:12.060 maybe something

00:42:12.520 else.

00:42:14.240 But he

00:42:14.940 is now

00:42:15.500 going to

00:42:16.840 be investigated

00:42:17.720 by the

00:42:18.720 office of

00:42:19.340 special counsel.

00:42:21.560 They're going

00:42:22.160 to find out

00:42:22.840 if he was

00:42:23.960 politicizing

00:42:24.960 the law

00:42:26.160 fair.

00:42:27.160 What do

00:42:27.440 you think?

00:42:28.540 Do you

00:42:28.860 think he

00:42:29.240 was politicizing

00:42:30.540 his job?

00:42:32.340 Sure

00:42:32.580 looked like

00:42:33.100 it.

00:42:34.420 I don't

00:42:35.100 know,

00:42:36.160 but it

00:42:36.360 sure looked

00:42:36.760 like it.

00:42:40.020 Tulsi

00:42:40.540 Gabbard

00:42:41.140 was asked

00:42:42.100 to

00:42:42.520 I read

00:42:43.180 this and

00:42:43.720 the gateway

00:42:44.360 pundit

00:42:44.820 that asked

00:42:47.020 if Operation

00:42:48.860 Mockingbird

00:42:49.740 2.0 was

00:42:51.280 like a real

00:42:51.900 thing.

00:42:52.640 So that

00:42:52.880 would be

00:42:53.140 the CIA

00:42:53.760 working with

00:42:55.500 the media

00:42:56.400 groups to

00:42:57.180 influence their

00:42:57.860 coverage.

00:42:58.680 Now we

00:42:58.980 know that

00:42:59.340 used to be

00:42:59.900 a thing and

00:43:00.900 then it

00:43:01.160 became illegal.

00:43:02.780 But then I

00:43:03.500 believe Obama

00:43:04.260 made it legal

00:43:05.280 again.

00:43:06.160 I may have

00:43:06.660 that wrong.

00:43:07.560 But we

00:43:08.180 don't have

00:43:08.700 direct

00:43:09.520 confirmation

00:43:10.300 that the

00:43:10.820 CIA is doing

00:43:11.720 that.

00:43:12.840 We just

00:43:13.360 have our

00:43:14.320 common sense

00:43:15.100 and our

00:43:15.420 observation.

00:43:16.180 It looks

00:43:16.560 like they're

00:43:16.900 doing it.

00:43:18.100 But Tulsi

00:43:18.860 was asked

00:43:19.360 about that

00:43:19.840 to confirm

00:43:21.140 if intel

00:43:21.680 agencies are

00:43:23.040 still using

00:43:23.760 the fake

00:43:25.280 news to

00:43:26.180 undermine

00:43:26.840 Trump.

00:43:29.140 And I

00:43:30.840 guess this

00:43:31.240 was Benny

00:43:32.020 Johnson.

00:43:33.280 Benny

00:43:33.820 Johnson was

00:43:34.440 asking her

00:43:34.900 this.

00:43:35.860 And

00:43:36.240 instead of

00:43:40.560 answering

00:43:40.960 directly,

00:43:42.780 which maybe

00:43:44.200 you can't

00:43:44.720 do if

00:43:45.020 you're in

00:43:45.300 that job,

00:43:47.340 Tulsi Gabbard

00:43:48.080 confirmed that

00:43:49.240 the current

00:43:49.960 Trump administration

00:43:51.140 is actively

00:43:51.860 battling rogue

00:43:53.580 intelligence

00:43:54.240 operatives.

00:43:55.900 So rather

00:43:56.980 than saying

00:43:57.640 the CIA is

00:43:59.640 still managing

00:44:00.740 the press,

00:44:01.440 she says

00:44:02.700 are rogue

00:44:03.400 intelligence

00:44:04.000 operatives.

00:44:06.280 It gets

00:44:06.940 to the same

00:44:07.400 place.

00:44:09.700 But she

00:44:10.660 did not

00:44:11.200 confirm

00:44:11.900 Operation

00:44:13.160 Mockingbird.

00:44:14.940 She did not

00:44:15.980 confirm it,

00:44:16.740 nor did she

00:44:17.200 deny it.

00:44:20.020 All right.

00:44:20.360 Christopher

00:44:24.140 Ruffo is

00:44:25.600 the one

00:44:25.920 who noticed

00:44:27.760 first that

00:44:28.840 people weren't

00:44:29.380 complaining that

00:44:30.100 much about

00:44:30.660 PBS and

00:44:31.600 NPR going

00:44:33.260 out of

00:44:33.480 business.

00:44:35.120 And he

00:44:35.780 says the

00:44:36.600 lesson there

00:44:37.260 is that you

00:44:38.240 should stop

00:44:38.820 funding your

00:44:39.660 enemies.

00:44:41.960 Because there

00:44:42.840 wasn't much

00:44:43.460 blowback from

00:44:47.120 putting them

00:44:47.720 out of

00:44:47.980 business.

00:44:49.140 People didn't

00:44:49.720 care that

00:44:50.140 much.

00:44:51.000 So yeah,

00:44:51.420 why would

00:44:51.760 you fund

00:44:52.240 your enemies

00:44:53.120 if there's

00:44:53.600 no blowback?

00:44:56.260 Benadryl?

00:44:56.960 No, I'm

00:44:57.340 not going to

00:44:57.640 take Benadryl.

00:44:59.920 I would be

00:45:00.740 out.

00:45:05.880 All right.

00:45:06.620 What else?

00:45:09.900 So there's

00:45:11.100 some thought.

00:45:15.660 I saw an

00:45:16.280 article by

00:45:16.920 Victor Nava

00:45:17.900 I think he

00:45:20.880 was writing

00:45:21.340 about, was

00:45:22.260 it the

00:45:22.700 Two Ways

00:45:23.580 podcast,

00:45:24.340 Mark

00:45:24.580 Kalperin

00:45:25.000 and his

00:45:27.460 partners there.

00:45:28.640 They were

00:45:29.140 talking about

00:45:29.700 how the

00:45:30.500 rumor is,

00:45:33.120 I'll call it a

00:45:33.900 rumor I guess,

00:45:34.880 that Joe

00:45:35.740 Biden's allies

00:45:36.600 are going to

00:45:37.340 go hard at

00:45:38.260 Kamala Harris

00:45:39.220 if she

00:45:40.380 outs Biden

00:45:41.680 for being

00:45:42.700 mentally

00:45:43.080 incapable

00:45:43.680 during his

00:45:44.380 presidency.

00:45:44.880 so she's

00:45:46.500 got a book

00:45:47.140 that's coming

00:45:48.020 out.

00:45:49.000 How in the

00:45:49.720 world can

00:45:50.440 she write a

00:45:51.080 book,

00:45:51.940 how can she

00:45:55.540 write a

00:45:55.980 book that

00:45:58.040 doesn't mention

00:45:58.940 his cognitive

00:46:00.140 state?

00:46:01.640 And if she

00:46:02.200 says, oh,

00:46:02.940 he was fine,

00:46:03.860 I don't know

00:46:04.200 what they were

00:46:04.600 talking about,

00:46:05.680 it's going to

00:46:06.180 look ridiculous.

00:46:07.900 And if she

00:46:08.600 goes the other

00:46:09.140 way and says,

00:46:09.740 yes, I have

00:46:10.360 to admit,

00:46:11.400 you know, I

00:46:12.000 was a loyal

00:46:12.540 person so I

00:46:13.360 didn't out

00:46:13.780 him, but he

00:46:14.640 definitely was

00:46:15.240 losing his

00:46:15.800 step.

00:46:16.820 Well,

00:46:17.280 apparently that

00:46:18.540 would unleash

00:46:19.800 all the

00:46:22.940 worst insider

00:46:24.580 statements about

00:46:25.700 Kamala Harris.

00:46:27.140 Can you even

00:46:27.840 imagine if

00:46:29.780 we saw an

00:46:30.980 honest set

00:46:33.060 of opinions

00:46:33.620 from the

00:46:34.060 people she

00:46:34.460 worked with?

00:46:35.680 Can you

00:46:36.140 imagine what

00:46:36.800 that would

00:46:37.080 be like?

00:46:38.400 That would

00:46:38.740 be brutal.

00:46:40.460 Well, she

00:46:41.080 was drunk and

00:46:42.000 word-sounding.

00:46:43.360 Western

00:46:46.540 Lensman on

00:46:48.000 X noticed

00:46:49.360 this.

00:46:50.520 There was a

00:46:50.940 video of

00:46:51.440 Amy Klobuchar,

00:46:53.260 Senator

00:46:53.740 Klobuchar.

00:46:54.840 She was

00:46:55.320 asked why

00:46:55.880 the Democrat

00:46:56.500 polling numbers

00:46:57.340 are so low.

00:46:59.600 So, remember

00:47:00.940 I've told you

00:47:01.540 how pathetic

00:47:02.160 Democrats are?

00:47:03.760 They can't

00:47:04.500 seem to

00:47:05.100 identify their

00:47:05.960 own problem,

00:47:06.720 much less

00:47:07.120 fix it.

00:47:08.220 So, when

00:47:08.720 asked why

00:47:09.320 Democrat

00:47:09.840 polling numbers

00:47:10.800 are so low,

00:47:11.680 their favorability,

00:47:12.560 her answer

00:47:13.680 was that

00:47:15.000 Trump has

00:47:15.580 caused a

00:47:16.040 lot of

00:47:16.320 chaos and

00:47:17.380 we're living

00:47:17.820 through tough

00:47:18.380 times.

00:47:22.180 I'm not

00:47:22.960 sure that's

00:47:23.760 an answer.

00:47:25.700 That's what's

00:47:26.500 wrong with the

00:47:27.100 Democrats.

00:47:28.260 What's wrong

00:47:29.040 with the

00:47:29.360 Democrats is

00:47:30.200 that Trump

00:47:30.920 caused chaos.

00:47:31.680 chaos?

00:47:33.020 I would

00:47:33.760 think that

00:47:34.280 the person

00:47:34.680 who causes

00:47:35.320 the chaos

00:47:36.160 would be

00:47:37.040 the one

00:47:37.380 that had

00:47:37.700 the low

00:47:38.000 polling

00:47:38.340 numbers.

00:47:39.860 But no,

00:47:40.640 Klobuchar,

00:47:41.260 who is

00:47:41.520 normally smart,

00:47:43.020 had nothing

00:47:43.560 smart to

00:47:44.140 say about

00:47:44.500 that.

00:47:46.380 Harry

00:47:46.760 Enten,

00:47:47.320 the data

00:47:47.920 guy,

00:47:48.520 polling data

00:47:49.140 guy on

00:47:49.600 CNN,

00:47:50.820 who, I

00:47:51.580 just love

00:47:52.020 his act.

00:47:53.320 He's just

00:47:54.060 so good at

00:47:54.580 his job.

00:47:55.040 He says

00:47:57.540 that it's

00:47:58.160 unusual that

00:47:59.580 at this

00:47:59.980 point the

00:48:00.640 Democrats

00:48:01.180 don't have

00:48:01.720 anybody who

00:48:02.240 is an

00:48:02.540 obvious

00:48:03.000 front-runner

00:48:03.940 to be the

00:48:05.520 next president.

00:48:06.900 And it's

00:48:08.120 an unusual

00:48:08.820 situation where

00:48:09.880 there's nobody

00:48:10.660 on the

00:48:11.320 Democrat side

00:48:12.160 who is

00:48:12.960 polling at

00:48:13.600 over 25%.

00:48:15.040 So I guess

00:48:16.420 in all prior

00:48:17.980 elections,

00:48:19.200 you could tell

00:48:20.040 who was going

00:48:20.560 to get nominated

00:48:21.120 because they

00:48:21.600 were already

00:48:22.140 polling better

00:48:23.540 than everybody

00:48:23.980 else.

00:48:25.040 At least

00:48:25.880 with Democrats.

00:48:26.920 So at the

00:48:27.360 moment, there

00:48:28.100 are no

00:48:28.460 Democrats who

00:48:30.200 are popular.

00:48:32.420 None.

00:48:33.660 Now, if you

00:48:34.680 say to

00:48:35.000 yourself,

00:48:36.080 well, that's

00:48:37.100 a bad sign

00:48:37.920 for Democrats

00:48:39.820 because they

00:48:41.560 just don't

00:48:43.860 have anybody

00:48:44.680 who's even

00:48:45.260 polling above

00:48:45.880 25%, you

00:48:48.080 might be wrong

00:48:48.700 about that

00:48:49.340 because the

00:48:50.600 biggest problem

00:48:51.200 the Democrats

00:48:51.740 have is that

00:48:52.740 every one of

00:48:53.400 the Democrats

00:48:53.980 we know

00:48:54.580 is terrible

00:48:55.800 and should

00:48:58.200 not be

00:48:58.620 president.

00:48:59.960 So the

00:49:00.620 problem is

00:49:01.240 they don't

00:49:01.560 have the

00:49:02.020 right people.

00:49:03.500 It's not

00:49:04.320 that they

00:49:04.660 just haven't

00:49:05.160 started

00:49:05.620 campaigning

00:49:06.800 or something.

00:49:07.900 So if

00:49:09.660 you've rejected

00:49:10.440 basically all

00:49:11.580 of your

00:49:11.980 famous Democrats

00:49:13.000 as being

00:49:13.680 capable to

00:49:14.440 be a

00:49:14.700 president,

00:49:15.020 it kind of

00:49:16.080 opens the

00:49:16.640 door that

00:49:18.700 somebody who

00:49:19.300 is just

00:49:19.600 really good,

00:49:20.960 sort of an

00:49:21.560 Obama-level

00:49:22.400 political

00:49:23.500 athlete,

00:49:24.720 as they

00:49:25.080 like to

00:49:25.460 say.

00:49:25.780 I'm getting

00:49:26.100 sick of

00:49:26.760 that phrase.

00:49:27.980 But also

00:49:28.480 like Trump.

00:49:30.660 So if

00:49:31.560 they can

00:49:32.360 find their

00:49:32.980 Trump,

00:49:34.540 they might

00:49:36.160 have some

00:49:36.520 fun.

00:49:37.320 So if you

00:49:38.100 imagine that

00:49:39.140 their unpopular

00:49:40.060 candidates mean

00:49:41.400 that they're not

00:49:41.980 going to win

00:49:42.420 the presidency,

00:49:43.780 it might go

00:49:44.420 the other way.

00:49:45.720 They might

00:49:46.180 come up with a

00:49:46.740 real fresh

00:49:47.280 face who's not

00:49:48.000 a governor.

00:49:48.480 I keep

00:49:50.940 saying if

00:49:51.740 Jamie

00:49:52.160 Dimon ran

00:49:53.080 for president,

00:49:53.800 I don't

00:49:54.140 think he

00:49:54.540 will.

00:49:56.180 But if

00:49:56.720 he did,

00:49:57.740 I wouldn't

00:49:58.620 want to

00:49:58.940 debate him.

00:50:01.300 Would you?

00:50:03.000 He's good

00:50:04.220 at this.

00:50:05.100 And he's

00:50:05.400 got a long

00:50:06.980 record of

00:50:09.060 not being

00:50:12.380 like a

00:50:13.080 super

00:50:13.340 partisan.

00:50:14.940 He's pretty

00:50:15.640 much on the

00:50:16.220 common sense.

00:50:16.980 he's very

00:50:18.080 much a

00:50:18.440 common sense

00:50:18.940 guy.

00:50:19.360 So he

00:50:19.800 could be

00:50:20.140 their

00:50:20.320 Trump.

00:50:21.560 But it

00:50:22.640 would have

00:50:22.860 to be

00:50:23.060 somebody

00:50:23.300 like him.

00:50:24.600 Well,

00:50:24.840 apparently the

00:50:25.360 TV show

00:50:25.940 The View

00:50:26.540 is getting

00:50:27.460 mocked for

00:50:28.920 the fact that

00:50:29.640 they had

00:50:30.040 102 left

00:50:31.220 leaning

00:50:31.520 guests in

00:50:32.660 2025 and

00:50:34.440 no right

00:50:35.020 leaning guests

00:50:35.580 whatsoever,

00:50:36.480 according to

00:50:37.140 Meet Reader

00:50:37.720 Center.

00:50:38.440 Does that

00:50:38.800 surprise you?

00:50:41.240 That doesn't

00:50:42.560 seem right.

00:50:44.200 There wasn't

00:50:44.920 a single

00:50:45.580 right leaning

00:50:46.300 guest.

00:50:47.220 At all?

00:50:49.380 I feel like

00:50:50.280 they would

00:50:50.580 have done

00:50:50.900 it just

00:50:51.280 because the

00:50:51.700 ratings would

00:50:52.340 have been

00:50:52.560 good if

00:50:52.920 they got

00:50:53.200 the right

00:50:53.660 foil in

00:50:55.320 there.

00:50:57.040 I don't

00:50:57.300 know.

00:50:58.560 Iran,

00:50:59.240 meanwhile,

00:50:59.700 says I

00:51:00.020 have plenty

00:51:00.500 of scientists

00:51:01.060 left and

00:51:02.740 they can

00:51:03.360 rebuild their

00:51:04.000 buildings to

00:51:04.840 make nuclear

00:51:06.360 products,

00:51:09.980 uranium and

00:51:10.800 such.

00:51:11.060 It looks

00:51:14.200 like Gary

00:51:16.420 is not

00:51:17.640 getting enough

00:51:18.220 attention.

00:51:19.760 Gary,

00:51:21.360 why are you

00:51:22.760 hugging my

00:51:23.280 arm?

00:51:24.620 Being so

00:51:25.420 cute.

00:51:26.700 All right.

00:51:27.960 So they

00:51:28.840 haven't said

00:51:29.340 they've decided

00:51:30.080 to enrich

00:51:31.020 uranium again,

00:51:32.360 but they

00:51:32.640 said, but

00:51:33.440 when and how

00:51:34.040 we restart our

00:51:35.100 enrichment depends

00:51:35.960 on the

00:51:36.880 circumstances.

00:51:37.520 Well, I

00:51:39.420 guess that

00:51:39.720 would be

00:51:39.960 true of

00:51:40.360 literally

00:51:40.700 everything.

00:51:41.420 It depends

00:51:41.840 on the

00:51:42.220 circumstances.

00:51:44.840 According to

00:51:45.820 Interesting

00:51:46.440 Engineering,

00:51:48.020 Chris Young

00:51:48.740 is writing

00:51:49.200 that there's

00:51:49.760 now a

00:51:50.280 shipping

00:51:50.920 container

00:51:51.580 sized

00:51:52.360 nuclear

00:51:52.920 reactor for

00:51:54.700 remote areas

00:51:55.580 or like

00:51:56.120 a remote

00:51:56.920 US military

00:51:57.920 bases and

00:51:58.580 stuff.

00:51:59.640 And it's

00:52:00.140 a 1.5

00:52:00.940 megawatt

00:52:01.560 demonstration

00:52:03.160 system.

00:52:03.880 So it's

00:52:04.140 not production

00:52:04.980 yet, but

00:52:06.220 they are

00:52:07.600 close.

00:52:08.980 So we're

00:52:09.500 very close

00:52:10.280 to having

00:52:11.380 a reasonably

00:52:13.160 safe

00:52:13.980 transportable

00:52:15.500 nuclear

00:52:16.140 power plant.

00:52:17.760 That's kind

00:52:18.520 of cool.

00:52:19.900 It's called

00:52:20.920 Pele, and

00:52:22.500 it's a gas

00:52:23.400 cooled

00:52:23.840 transportable

00:52:24.720 microreactor.

00:52:27.320 All right,

00:52:28.760 that's all I

00:52:29.160 got for

00:52:29.460 today.

00:52:31.940 Make sure

00:52:32.780 that you

00:52:33.300 check out

00:52:34.640 Owen Gregorian's

00:52:36.080 Spaceless

00:52:36.840 event that

00:52:37.500 will fire

00:52:38.320 up in a

00:52:38.740 few minutes.

00:52:39.880 And you

00:52:40.520 can continue

00:52:41.300 this conversation

00:52:42.480 without cats.

00:52:44.360 And I'm

00:52:47.920 going to say

00:52:48.980 a few words
