Transcript

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.
00:02:18.200 There's only one requirement.
00:02:20.920 You would have to be Russian to go there.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

00:12:27.860 Please play responsibly.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
00:23:40.740 was immediately
00:23:41.320 fired.
00:23:42.600 Trump
00:23:43.140 fired her.
00:23:46.200 Now, it's
00:23:46.860 the same
00:23:47.280 woman who
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
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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.

00:37:04.200 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

00:37:11.320 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
00:52:49.500 privately to
