Scott Adams and Gary the Cat have a cat attack, and J.P. Morgan thinks Apple is going to make a foldable phone, and Harvey Harvey has a legal AI that s already worth $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
00:05:50.260So it does make sense that the legal profession, which, if we're being honest, the reason that the law is as complicated as it is, is so that lawyers can take your money.
00:06:07.440Because I'm pretty sure if the law said you must simplify everything you say in a contract, that you wouldn't need nearly as many lawyers.
00:06:20.180But AI can do all the complicated stuff.
00:06:24.220So lawyers won't be able to say, well, you'll never be able to do this on your own, so I have to do it.
00:06:30.000But you're going to be, well, I could just show this to ChatGPT, and it probably tells me what to negotiate, what to accept.
00:06:38.920So I do think the legal domain, maybe half of it, will be entirely just decimated by AI.
00:09:49.600But now Tesla has decided to give him 96 million shares of Tesla, which would be about $29 billion worth of value based on Corona's stock price.
00:10:02.240But $29 billion might seem like a lot.
00:10:11.520$29 billion, it might seem like a lot, but it's less than the $50 billion that he was actually contractually entitled to.
00:10:21.520So we'll see if anything happens there.
00:10:22.960Meanwhile, in other news, Gary, in other news, NASA chief Sean Duffy has announced plans that they're going to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, the U.S.
00:10:42.520So we're going to be racing China, mostly China, I guess, to be the first country to have a nuclear reactor on the moon, because whoever gets that going first is going to be able to do a base.
00:10:58.320And whoever does the base is going to have some military control and functional and economic control of the moon.
00:11:06.400So let's get those nukes up there, huh?
00:12:30.240What it usually meant is the Russia collusion hoax.
00:12:33.980And given that we know that they knew, at least the insiders knew it wasn't real, how many of the other people knew it wasn't real?
00:12:44.580I feel as if everybody who used that phrase on TV, the walls are closing in on Trump, because you and Brandon used it.
00:12:54.320But it feels to me that that revealed their entire network.
00:13:01.640It feels to me that if you just did a replay of all the people who used that phrase, the walls are closing in, you would know all the people who had illegally been part of the plot.
00:13:14.600But, because it's just too big a coincidence.
00:13:18.560And now we notice that all the bad people have moved to Trump as an authoritarian.
00:13:28.060And I'll bet it's the same phenomenon, that there's a bunch of insiders who have colluded to say, all right, we're all going to say that it's this or it's that.
00:13:58.060And while it is true that people on the right will end up saying things, you know, that they heard on Fox News and things, it's not nearly as bad as this.
00:14:07.880You know, where they just sort of mockingbirds say that, you know, they repeat the same thing.
00:14:16.060And the fact that they're calling him an authoritarian for firing the head of the Bureau of Statistics because she was completely wrong on her statistics.
00:14:32.020Isn't that usually why people get fired?
00:14:47.940If you're off by 10,000 percent and the entire news cycle has passed before you correct it, we're going to fire you because that's not really good in the statistics.
00:15:03.960But we're pretending that firing somebody for being consistently completely wrong about the only thing that they're there to do, which is present statistics.
00:15:39.100But if they do at one time come with you with numbers which are completely ridiculous, and here's the important point.
00:15:47.180They knew the numbers were ridiculous when they presented them and they didn't warn anybody.
00:15:52.120You know, if they had said, all right, we have preliminary numbers, but honestly, you shouldn't use them because in two months these will be revised and they could be revised just really radically.
00:16:04.940So you shouldn't make any decisions based on these numbers.
00:16:09.020If they had said that, I would have said, all right, you know, don't fire that person.
00:16:15.120They told you everything they knew, did the best they could.
00:16:18.660But if you're not presenting the numbers as likely to be revised by 10,000 percent or whatever it was, yeah, you got to get fired.
00:16:28.680The very next story here is, according to the Post Millennial, Thomas Stevenson is writing, that jobs for native-born Americans have increased by nearly 2 million.
00:18:32.100Anyway, that looks like that change will happen.
00:18:35.960So, there's a podcast between Charlemagne the God and Stephen A. Smith.
00:18:46.740Stephen A. Smith is calling out Kamala Harris for saying she didn't want to be part of the broken system when, in fact, she was a career politician.
00:18:57.460So, she was, you know, she had plenty of chances to fix that broken system if that was going to happen.
00:19:05.600So, I guess Smith said, you're a career politician.
00:19:09.480You've been there practically all your life.
00:19:19.120That means you couldn't do so much to fix it when you was in it.
00:19:25.080The system was broken long before Donald Trump got into office, Charlemagne said.
00:19:30.660Well, how many think that's a good point?
00:19:36.260That she was in the system and failed to fix it.
00:19:39.880The system that's broken is just that any time you have a complicated system and lots of people involved and lots of money, it's always corrupt.
00:19:56.760Was Kamala Harris supposed to signal-handedly fix the part that the world is full of corrupt people who will take any opportunity to steal shit?
00:25:30.480But here's what Elizabeth Warren has added to his framing, that those potential solutions that Zoran is mentioning are experiments.
00:25:43.320In other words, they're not committing to, oh, yeah, no matter what, we're going to have government grocery stores.
00:25:50.480But rather, committing to an experiment in which they see if there's any way you can make a government grocery store be additive without being a huge disaster.
00:26:02.600To which I say, that really, unfortunately, that's a pretty effective approach.
00:26:11.120Because, you know, most people would say, ha, it's been tried and it didn't work.
00:26:15.860Well, if she calls it experimental, she just has to say, yeah, we're going to try doing it a different way.
00:26:22.440And if it doesn't work, we'll try something else or we'll abandon it.
00:26:26.020And then I go, ah, oh, that makes sense.
00:26:30.180Because I don't know for sure that there's no way you could ever do anything that was additive for some number of poor people who were using their SNAP benefits to buy soda.
00:27:03.080If he doesn't buy into the experiment part of the frame, or nobody else does, they won't go anywhere.
00:27:09.180But I think she's smart to put it in that frame.
00:27:14.840According to ADP, the payroll service company, a private company hiring has bounced back, and they've hired 104,000 people since July.
00:27:30.240I saw unusual whales, and they count on X reporting that.
00:27:35.980To which I say, does ADP really know that?
00:27:40.240Why does the government not know about jobs when payroll is mostly automated?
00:27:50.640If payroll is automated, if payroll is automated pretty much everywhere, are you telling me that the government can't figure out how many paychecks are out there and know that there are more of them or less of them?
00:28:02.880Does the government really not know how many people paid, let's say, disability tax this past month?
00:28:14.500The money is taken out of people's accounts and goes into another account, and we don't know, we can't measure the volume of that every month to know if it's more or fewer people are on payroll?
00:28:27.820Well, so, I don't know, it seems to me this is a very fixable problem.
00:28:34.720How many of you have had the experience that when one hoax is revealed, it changes how you feel about the other alleged hoaxes?
00:28:57.380I think maybe Mike Benz is affecting my brain on this as well.
00:29:01.420Well, if we did not know, and we do know, that the Russia collusion hoax was orchestrated by the CIA, the CIA, and the FBI, and the highest levels of our elected officials.
00:29:16.820If we didn't know that that all really happened in the real world, would you be willing to believe that the two assassination attempts against the president may have had a U.S. government connection?
00:29:32.060I probably would have rejected that automatically.
00:29:37.620If there had never been a President Kennedy assassination, in which, in hindsight, it seems, I think, obvious that our CIA was intimately involved in that.
00:29:51.980If you had never heard of that, it would be pretty hard to imagine that it could ever happen again, or for the first time, in your opinion, if you didn't know that it happened once.
00:30:04.140And then we find out that in our lifetime, the worst political act we've ever seen, which is the Russia collusion hoax, the degree of coordination behind that, and the RICO-like number of crimes that have probably kicked up, is unlike anything I've ever seen.
00:30:27.860And then I hear Mike Benton say that Ruth, R-O-U-T-H, the guy who hid by the Trump golf course and got caught before he fired, that he apparently had some State Department connections.
00:30:48.500All right, well, you know, maybe that's a coincidence, right?
00:30:53.200He just had some State Department connections.
00:30:55.540I mean, you have some State Department connections, right?
00:31:11.200And then the shooter at the Butler event, Crooks was his name, he had these encrypted apps, which seems a little weird for a loner.
00:31:21.760He was weirdly successful in his operational endeavors, weirdly, because it turned out that the Department of Homeland Security, which was a sitting in for the Secret Service.
00:31:40.380So Secret Service was spread thin that week because they had, you know, different jobs they had to handle at the same time.
00:31:46.760So the Department of Homeland Security, at least one subset of them, stood in to do extra security.
00:31:57.120Well, did you know, Mike Benz reminds us, that apparently Crooks would often go to a gun range that was the same one that the Department of Homeland Security typically used, or at least one department within it.
00:32:15.520Now, these are just connections, right?
00:32:21.640There's no direct smoking gun that says, oh, the State Department sent this guy, or that the Department of Homeland Security was well aware of this guy.
00:32:33.180We're not at that level of any kind of proof of anything.
00:32:35.840But my question was, if we had never seen that Kennedy had, in fact, been murdered by our own government and CIA, it looks like, and if we didn't know for sure that the Russia collusion hoax was organized by the highest levels of our own government, and they're still hiding it,
00:32:55.000If we didn't know that, I wouldn't even blink if somebody said, oh, these people have connections, they've got connections to the State Department, I would have said, oh, it's a big world, people know people, doesn't mean anything.
00:33:11.880But now I just assume there's something to it.
00:33:15.840I'm so far into the conspiracy theory world, just of the conspiracies that we know a lot about.
00:33:28.100That I find it hard to believe that both of those shooters were operating independently.
00:33:36.620How many of you think that both of them, you know, there might be a difference between them, but how many of you think that both of them were doing it absolutely independently?
00:33:46.500It had nothing to do with any U.S. government influence.
00:33:51.640Nobody tried to hypnotize them or pay them off or anything else.
00:33:58.540It's a little bit harder to believe that they were operating independently, given what we know about everything else lately.
00:34:05.640Well, this story might be a little bit of fake news, but I'm not sure yet, so keep an eye on this one.
00:34:16.560But apparently the Trump administration was going to say it was going to cut federal emergency funding to cities and states that allowed boycotts of Israel or pursued boycotts of Israel.
00:34:31.960Now, apparently that created an uproar on the base.
00:34:40.320So it wasn't just Democrats complaining about Trump.
00:34:48.800It was his own base saying, wait, wait, wait, are you telling me that a city is going to lose emergency funds because they backed a boycott of another country?

00:36:04.500Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:36:32.300It started slow, but now there's like four stories of Trump just punishing somebody with a government purse.
00:36:40.540So apparently the White House is putting together an executive order to punish banks for discriminating against conservatives.
00:36:48.780Now I don't know if that means only in the past or if currently that's happening.
00:36:55.400And also the White House is preparing to crack down the banks that have debanked Bitcoin and crypto companies, Wall Street Journal is reporting.
00:37:04.980So if you're keeping track, have you figured out which oligarchs Trump is in favor of?
00:37:14.400He is apparently not too keen on the oligarchs who are bankers.
00:37:21.960He's not too keen on the oligarchs that are big pharma, because he's going after the big pharma, right?
00:37:30.920He is not too keen on the oligarchs who are oil companies, because even though he's drill baby drill and trying to make it easy to drill, the net effect is it drives down oil prices.
00:37:43.200So I ask you again, which oligarchs is he supposedly in favor of?
00:37:54.580So it's not banks, it's not pharma, it's not oil.
00:38:09.400He doesn't seem very oligarch friendly to me.
00:38:13.200Did you know that India had cleverly figured out, or at least people in India figured out, they could buy Russian oil cheaply, and then they could resell it for a big profit?
00:38:26.080So that was good for Russia, because they were selling more oil.
00:38:30.040But bad for the United States' relationship with India, because it meant India was supporting Russia, basically.
00:38:38.720And so Trump says he will substantially raise tariffs on India over their Russian oil purchases, right?
00:38:47.540So he's punishing banks for discriminating against conservatives, he's punishing cities for DEI, he's punishing colleges for DEI, and now he's going to punish India for dealing with...
00:39:04.400He's got a lot of punishing, he's just doing a lot of punishing.
00:39:13.220So you know that Murdoch owns not just the Wall Street Journal, but also owns the New York Post, one of the few conservative outlets.
00:39:23.440And now the New York Post is going to expand to California, so there's going to be a California Post.
00:39:32.100Now, what would be a less obvious thing to do than to start a new newspaper?
00:39:38.300How do you make money starting a new newspaper in 2025?
00:39:44.840Well, it could be that it's not so much a newspaper revenue play as it is controlling the narrative.
00:39:56.000Most of the news in both newspapers presumably will be the same, but maybe Californians will not read something that says New York Post on it.
00:40:06.240So maybe it just needs to say California, and then they could add some California elements to it.
00:40:13.260But I suspect that Murdoch's real play is influence.
00:40:19.520I don't really think he would see it as a huge moneymaker to support a newspaper, another one.
00:40:26.060Well, in big, big news, possibly big, big, really big, Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury probe into the Obama officials over the Russia hoax.
00:40:41.420So we don't know who's been referred to the grand jury.
00:40:48.060But as MSNBC's Nicole Wallace says, it's all over debunked allegations.
00:40:54.720So MSNBC is pretending like the Russia collusion hoax never really happened, I guess.
00:41:01.700And CNN is calling the Russia collusion hoax the Russian investigation.
00:41:12.760Well, that's kind of playing it safe, isn't it?
00:41:15.360Yeah, I suppose it was an investigation, except that we know now it was a fake investigation,
00:41:22.940or at least much of it was fake, and it was intended just to cripple Trump.
00:41:27.440So CNN calls it a Russian investigation, not a hoax.
00:46:15.800So, I suspect Republicans will win in the end.
00:46:19.720There was a caller who called in to C-SPAN recently and said that Democrats need to show more of a spine and more interest in working people instead of just saying they're for working people.
00:46:37.100Now, that's more of that mistake, right?
00:46:43.000Where they think that showing a spine is what they need to do.
00:46:50.040They need to show a policy that people liked.
00:46:53.700They wouldn't need any spine at all if they had good policies, would they?
00:46:57.900So, every time the Democrats believe that what they're lacking is fight and resolve and spine is, you know, another day that they're not getting any closer to winning.
00:47:12.280And then, just to show you how clueless Democrats are, I think the whole Democrat part of the world is about...
00:47:40.280Some part of the Democrats scamming the other parts of the Democrats.
