there you are come on in it's time as soon as i can see the locals comments separately
00:00:11.680
and then we'll have a show for you the best podcast of all podcasts
00:00:17.600
here we go it's all working good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of
00:00:38.880
human civilization it's called coffee with scott adams and it's the best thing that will ever
00:00:44.960
happen to you in your whole darn life but if you'd like to take a chance of elevating this experience
00:00:53.360
up to levels that no one can understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need is a
00:00:59.920
copper mug or glass a tanker chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it
00:01:07.040
with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine
00:01:13.520
end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's cold that's right simultaneous sip it
00:01:30.080
better than usual as usual is pretty good well i wonder if there's any science
00:01:37.440
science that could have been uh cheaper yes oh here we are uh according to sai post vladimir hedry is
00:01:47.360
writing that a healthy diet is associated with better cognitive functioning in the elderly huh
00:01:54.800
so it's almost as if the things you eat have an effect on your body huh and it's almost as if
00:02:06.240
your brain is part of your body huh you put those two things together and the things you eat can affect your
00:02:16.560
brain did you know that well i knew it they could have just asked me
00:02:22.000
it's actually they did not need to do a study let's see is there any other study like that oh yeah
00:02:30.000
eric dolan is writing also for a sai post that people who are high in psychopathy and low in
00:02:37.040
cognitive ability are the most politically active online according to a study
00:02:42.960
now do they really need to do a study to find out that most of the people i deal with online
00:02:51.040
are low low iq psychopaths it's the one thing everybody knows
00:02:58.320
if you have any conversation about anything political on x you look in the comments the whole
00:03:05.520
time you're looking at the comments you're thinking man you're dumb and also probably a psychopath
00:03:11.840
yep you did not need to do that study next time just ask scott hey are the people online who talk
00:03:21.920
about politics sort of more likely to be dumb psychopaths yeah well a number of schools across
00:03:31.600
the country i don't know how many are now requiring students to lock their phones
00:03:37.280
in a phone pouch for the entire school day i guess the pouch makes it impossible to
00:03:45.120
get a signal to the phone i assume but the pouch locks and i i saw a video of it
00:03:52.880
i guess there's a one device that the students have to walk past to unlock it so they they just put
00:04:01.120
their little phone pouch on top of this surface and it unlocks it immediately so when they're on the
00:04:07.360
way home they can get their phone back now i feel like that's one of the best inventions ever
00:04:15.600
because it wouldn't really be practical to take their phones away from them but if they want to keep
00:04:22.720
their phone and they just want to have a little pouch so they can't get to it that's a pretty good
00:04:28.000
idea so i guess that's working out well there's some fake news coming from a new york times reporter
00:04:37.440
who's also an msnbc analyst uh peter baker is writing that uh um because of uh trump's takeover of washington
00:04:49.840
dc at least uh in terms of the um criminal policing that the restaurant business has gone way down
00:04:59.920
and somebody pointed out um you're comparing that week to the same week last year and the thing you
00:05:09.360
missed is that last year this week was restaurant week in dc meaning that all the restaurants had deals
00:05:17.840
and they were trying to get everybody to eat that week so it was comparing comparing a regular week
00:05:24.880
to last year the special restaurant week and thought there was a big drop so that got pointed out
00:05:37.200
um remember i told you that all data is fake and that even when the data is correct people will
00:05:45.760
still misinterpret it that's about as misinterpreted as you can get well apparently the border wall
00:05:56.800
according to christy noem is looking at some cameras i i didn't know how much of the wall already had a
00:06:04.480
camera but apparently not all of it so they're adding more cameras and sensors but they're also painting the
00:06:12.560
wall black because apparently um black will make it hotter and it'll be harder to climb it because it'll be
00:06:21.440
too hot which is kind of clever um i saw i saw that trump was credited with wanting it to be black i don't
00:06:30.960
know if he's the only one who came up with that idea but it is kind of clever but here's the most important
00:06:38.640
part of this story do you remember when the wall was controversial do you remember how much effing time
00:06:50.240
we spent talking about whether a wall is necessary or useful or worth the money do you remember how much
00:06:58.640
energy we put into that debate and now nothing nothing a major story about the wall being improved no response
00:07:11.840
the democrats uh have completely capitulated on the wall
00:07:18.080
well uh according to uh a new study let's see um new york times i guess found this out
00:07:26.960
there are 498 what they call ai unicorns the unicorn is a company with a valuation over 1 billion
00:07:35.680
a startup so has to be a startup as well and there are almost 500 startups in the ai space
00:07:43.760
that are individually worth a billion dollars or more each one does that sound like much of a bubble
00:07:51.040
uh now that's a bubble that's that's a bubble it's a weird kind of a bubble because a lot of the
00:08:00.000
investors are feeling like they have to have a lot of investment in ai no matter what but they're probably
00:08:06.560
running out of good ideas but at the same time that we've got this record number of so-called unicorns
00:08:15.760
meta is looking to downsize oh actually that's the one from the new york times
00:08:21.600
it was cb insights who knew that the unicorns were almost 500. anyway so meta is looking to downsize but
00:08:29.600
that doesn't mean that they think ai is worth less it might mean that they just have too many people
00:08:38.000
uh the the white house has launched its official tick tock account uh trump said in the video i am your
00:08:46.160
voice now i guess what this will do is will it make uh democrats hate tick tock
00:08:56.080
it will right you would expect that as long as the white house is fully embracing tick tock
00:09:02.160
you'd expect the uh the democrats to say no tick tock is the worst thing in the world well i don't know
00:09:10.320
what all democrats will say but minnesota that is very democrat according to the ap
00:09:17.280
they are joining with other states that are suing tick tock alleging that the social media giant is
00:09:27.440
abusing children mostly by turning them into compulsive consumers of their short videos
00:09:33.680
now this is a really interesting case because you could almost argue that they're being sued for
00:09:43.520
being too good at their product if you were making a product that people liked so much they could barely
00:09:51.120
stop using it would you call that a crime would you sue somebody that made a completely legal product
00:10:01.680
that was so good that your brain would just you know be on fire with dopamine and you would love it
00:10:08.160
and you'd want to just keep doing it now i i totally agree with limiting this for children i think it's dangerous
00:10:15.680
but it's weird that you can get in trouble for making a product that people like too much
00:10:22.880
it's not illegal it's not it's not like fentanyl right where where are you gonna die from it
00:10:29.840
anyway so that is one example where the democrats are after tick tock we'll see if there's more of that

00:11:38.720
um there's uh now we're getting reports that in 2023 when joe biden was on 60 minutes
00:11:50.640
some people are now reporting that he was quote drowsy and had to be quote prodded into answering
00:12:01.280
now my question is was he already on medications by then in theory that was before he knew he had
00:12:12.240
prostate cancer i can tell you from my own experience with the pain meds they give you for prostate cancer
00:12:20.800
that if he was on anything like i what i was on i'm not on at the moment
00:12:25.360
um i would fall asleep in conversations i could be listening to somebody talk to me right in front of
00:12:33.280
me and then suddenly i'd wake up and i'd realize that for a moment i had fallen asleep while i was
00:12:41.120
talking to somebody and that was not like just regular tired i think it was the meds because as it
00:12:50.160
happened lately and i'm off those meds so i do wonder if that was the meds maybe
00:12:58.400
so we were in a lot of trouble back then that was a risky time to be alive but we got through it
00:13:07.200
meanwhile the epa head lee zeldin is talking about the democrats used his agency the epa
00:13:14.800
to funnel billions of dollars to their cronies basically so apparently the the biden's inflation
00:13:24.480
reduction act as they called it um created a bunch of money 20 that would go to various places and they
00:13:34.320
took 20 billion dollars and they parked it at an outside bank and then sent the money through eight
00:13:41.120
ngos non-government organizations that were riddled with conflicts of interest according to lee zeldin
00:13:49.760
um so i feel as if between the mike ben's um revelations about how money goes to these ngos and
00:14:02.240
and whatnot um that we now understand the entire mechanism of control
00:14:08.560
that was behind the democrat criminal organization now i feel as if the democrat party wasn't even
00:14:17.680
a political party and isn't you know i'm talking about it like it's past tense because it almost is
00:14:25.040
but the degree of criminal activity even things that maybe are not technically maybe not technically uh
00:14:34.640
criminals but they should be it should be illegal to take 20 billion dollars and funnel it to your friends
00:14:43.840
um but now that we know that's how it works i feel like the whole party is going to get starved
00:14:51.840
because they have this this little illegal somewhat legal funding source and uh looks like that'll be dried up
00:15:03.920
um you would not be surprised to learn that the democrat party is facing what the new york times calls
00:15:12.240
an all-time uh voter registration crisis well actually the new york times didn't say that put the reporting
00:15:18.000
of it so apparently in the last four years um the country has swung a net 4.5 million voters
00:15:27.360
toward republicans so almost every red area is up in registration and almost all the blue areas are down
00:15:37.840
it's almost universal there's more republicans everywhere and there are fewer democrats everywhere
00:15:44.320
and it's happening in the battleground states so but the weird thing is when i read a story like that you
00:15:52.240
you would say to yourself all right we found out all the democrats are criminals and they don't have any
00:15:57.920
leadership and they don't have any money and registration is way up under republicans so you would tell
00:16:05.280
yourself oh this means that uh republicans will win the midterms right probably not
00:16:13.920
i don't know i don't have a prediction yet for the midterms but for whatever reason it almost
00:16:20.480
doesn't matter what's happening it's always a close race and it feels like the the party that's not in power
00:16:29.040
pretty much almost always wins the midterms so there's so many variables but so many of them don't matter in the end
00:16:38.000
well uh bill pulte has uh referred as uh part of his job and the fhfa he alleges in a uh or the fa the fhfa
00:16:53.600
alleges in a criminal referral to the department of justice that uh one of the federal reserve governors
00:17:00.640
a lisa cook committed mortgage fraud and it was a similar kind of mortgage fraud to uh what ag
00:17:11.200
latisha james in new york was accused of which is having more than one uh primary residence now the
00:17:19.040
people the reason people say something is a primary residence is they get a uh you know better rates
00:17:26.160
they save money that way but it's illegal to lie on your mortgage stuff so pressure on the federal
00:17:42.240
tulsi gabbard has uh head of the dni has revoked security clearances for 37 current and former intel
00:17:50.880
people who were involved in one way or another with the russia gate hoax um i have a little bit of
00:18:00.160
mixed feelings about this on one hand it seems completely fair if they were all they were working
00:18:07.280
for the government and they were involved in a hoax on the other hand i don't know that all 37 of it
00:18:13.840
knew it was a hoax because they were all on the inside so i do worry that it went a little bit
00:18:20.240
too far um some of them were probably lower level people who just did what they were told to do
00:18:26.720
but they could have become whistleblowers they could have quit they could have said i won't work on
00:18:31.600
that so i don't know probably it makes more sense to revoke their security clearance than it does to keep them
00:18:44.720
um the doja is also looking into allegations that the dc police
00:18:49.600
falsified crime data to make it look like it was going down
00:19:02.000
or to i guess recategorize crimes as lower crimes what what would that crime be
00:19:14.560
what would they have to do i mean it's not really illegal to lie is it uh in that context we'll find
00:19:22.080
out uh rasmussen uh did a poll to see if people approve on having an early census to have it redone
00:19:33.280
specifically to make sure it doesn't count um illegal residents and 57 of likely voters approve
00:19:42.560
of trump calling for an early census a new census 57 so it's not an 80 20 but once again trump is on the
00:20:00.320

00:20:14.000
um there is a whole set of accusations that i can't decide how credible they are
00:20:22.400
because they're in the category of things which don't seem to pan out but on the other hand
00:20:28.080
they're coming from people who seem to be quite confident that they know what's going on
00:20:32.720
so alex jones was talking about this uh a quote bombshell um that the 2020 election was stolen by the cia
00:20:43.120
working with communist china does that sound like something that's real
00:20:48.400
we know there was the allegation that china created a bunch of like 20 000 or so fake driver's licenses
00:20:56.160
and the allegation is that the reason they did that was for chinese residents
00:21:02.160
in the us who were not citizens to be able to use the fake driver's licenses to get ballots and vote
00:21:10.880
do you feel like that's true do you feel like we have the evidence for that i don't know so there's
00:21:17.920
uh there are allegations about voting machines being rigged in other countries
00:21:23.920
um and an allegation that that same technique may have been used in the u.s but i feel like we've
00:21:31.840
been hearing that set of allegations for years now and it hasn't turned into anything that's
00:21:38.560
you know like a real smoking gun like it's almost smoking like you it's like threatening to smoke
00:21:47.840
but it never really seems to get over the hump to have like a you know proof or a whistleblower or
00:21:55.680
something like that so it's a shocking and surprising set of allegations but i don't feel
00:22:04.480
like i can quite quite quite believe that these will turn into something in the real world i just
00:22:11.440
don't know so i'm not i'm not sold yet just to be clear i do think it's likely and probably most likely
00:22:21.680
that the 2020 election had some irregularities i just don't know what they were and i don't have
00:22:27.280
any proof of it but obviously the pattern of the voting is is it's just too suspicious to imagine that
00:22:37.040
nothing happened uh maybe we'll never know um there were uh we we just found out to post millennials
00:22:46.000
reporting on this that uh there's a training class for therapists in which they can get three credits
00:22:55.440
i guess toward your i don't know continuing education or something and the uh therapists who
00:23:01.280
are teaching it um they're mental health professionals and uh they're teaching the people that trump
00:23:09.200
supporters are a cult uh a cult on a national scale that presents an image of bringing the country back
00:23:22.080
that's an actual professional uh class that you would get credit for if you're a therapist
00:23:31.360
now you know how we always joke that therapists are people who themselves have mental problems
00:23:38.480
and that's what attracts them to the whole how do you solve mental problems profession
00:23:45.120
uh i gotta say i saw the video of the two instructors they looked batshit crazy
00:23:52.960
like if i mean they just looked really mentally ill and people are paying for this class
00:24:00.480
oh my god i can't imagine sitting through that by the way all the people who tell you that uh
00:24:07.360
trump supporters are a cult they don't know what a cult is um it's dumb
00:24:15.600
well daniel greenfield is writing on the topic of letitia james and uh apparently letitia james has
00:24:23.680
said in an event recently quote we have to we have to stop believing we're following the rules
00:24:30.320
break the rules break the rules well turns out she is somebody who has broken a few rules allegedly
00:24:39.120
i i'm still blown away by the fact that when she was running for election as attorney general for new
00:24:44.320
york that she actually said in public as part of her running for the office that she promised to go
00:24:51.600
after trump and go after the nra and did not have any specific crimes or allegations at that time she
00:24:59.840
literally targeted an organization and a person and said if you elect me i'll go after them i'll find
00:25:07.120
something and then she found a bunch of bullshit things to charge him with and uh now she has to answer for
00:25:16.320
that so i guess uh special prosecutor ed martin is looking into everything she did and even uh
00:25:24.960
uh he's called on her to resign now i don't know if that's appropriate i mean should the
00:25:34.400
special prosecutor call on somebody to resign before the before the investigation is complete well
00:25:43.680
i do think that the what we know so far would support that i've never seen that happen before so
00:25:50.800
that's kind of unprecedented looks like ed martin followed her advice and uh broke a rule he didn't
00:26:00.560
break a law but he certainly broke sort of an unwritten rule
00:26:11.600
um the the letitia james case that was brought against trump uh this is the banking one where
00:26:21.280
allegedly he lied to the bank to get a loan but the bank didn't think he lied because it was just normal
00:26:28.720
that the bank checks valuations on their own they don't really take the the customer's word for
00:26:34.720
anything and they made money and they'd be happy to do business with them again so he got prosecuted
00:26:42.880
for doing things that there was no victim and nobody by him would ever be prosecuted for it
00:26:48.960
uh so that went to a new york appellate court but apparently it's been stuck in that court without a
00:26:54.960
decision for i don't know a year or something so jonathan turley is writing about this
00:27:04.240
how in the world because it could it take so long and be so stuck here's what i'm guessing
00:27:11.920
i'm guessing that um first of all the appellate court is mostly obama appointees
00:27:18.800
so you know that they want him to be guilty because they're almost certainly democrats so they want
00:27:25.760
trump to be guilty of all these charges that he was you know found guilty on but on the other hand
00:27:32.800
they're probably having trouble supporting it because it's it was so obviously just lawfare and
00:27:38.480
so obviously not something that should have been prosecuted the way it was so they might not even be
00:27:45.600
able to rule on it and if they ruled on it quickly then it would go to the supreme court
00:27:51.920
where the supreme court i'm guessing would reject it and overturn it
00:27:58.880
for being lawfare basically so maybe they're just stalling it because if they don't stall it
00:28:05.520
they're gonna have to they're gonna have to release it so the supreme court can get to it
00:28:10.800
so um anyway so mike davis who's a uh prominent republican lawyer he's been pushing for federal
00:28:25.200
investigations of hillary clinton obama and biden and msnbc is saying that they think that's coming
00:28:33.280
um and i have to say again it seems to me and this is not just pure political stuff it just really
00:28:43.840
seems to me that the democratic party is a vast criminal enterprise in a way that the republican
00:28:51.120
party definitely isn't now i'm not saying that the republican party has no criminals in it obviously they
00:28:57.680
both do but i am saying it doesn't seem to be an organized mass conspiracy where they're coordinating
00:29:06.560
with each other and you know they've got this network of ngos that they're funneling money through
00:29:11.600
it doesn't look like any of that um so there is a difference and
00:29:17.920
and here's something else we know now from the washington free beacon so as you know george soros
00:29:27.840
funded the uh the installation you could call it of a bunch of attorney generals and prosecutors
00:29:37.680
and you know funded their campaigns and helped them get elected and there was an organization
00:29:44.080
that he also funded to sort of support them so it was a support and they would even do things like fund
00:29:54.400
office assistance you know actually literally funding to make their job easier well
00:30:05.280
apparently the head of the soros organization that was supporting all these soros prosecutors
00:30:11.680
um she was she left her job after being uh accused of being a racist who was oppressing and
00:30:21.280
slighting and discriminating against uh black female employees so here's the fun part on paper
00:30:31.680
the democrat woke process should end up in eating itself
00:30:37.200
and what i mean by that is it it's fair to assume that if everything is identity
00:30:46.640
that no matter even if you form as a bunch of democrats who are really thinking uh all republicans
00:30:53.040
are racist it wouldn't matter be well what would matter is that the identity within your group within
00:31:01.600
the democrats would eventually turn on each other because the last design is designed for that
00:31:10.640
so sure enough um the black women who were working in the soros funded organization just turned on their
00:31:17.360
leader a white woman and uh we'll see where that goes but it does make me think that governor newsom has no
00:31:26.080
chance of being president because in what world do the democrats who are the the identity party pick the
00:31:35.120
whitest white guy to be their leader you know biden was a special case because he was sort of you know
00:31:44.960
an obama guy etc but i i can't see any scenario in which the democrats can get a white guy
00:31:53.360
elected as their leader how in the world would that make sense with everything that they've done up
00:32:00.240
to now and it's not like he has some great track record to run on so uh he might be the candidate
00:32:08.000
but i don't think there's any way when i found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners
00:32:14.800
i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from winners like that woman over there with the
00:32:21.120
designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful gold earrings did she pay full price
00:32:27.600
or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots that dress that jacket those
00:32:33.040
shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning winners find fabulous for less
00:32:42.240
do you remember that it wasn't long ago when we were being told by our alleged government
00:32:47.360
that the biggest risk in the united states was the white supremacists what happened to that
00:32:57.360
have there been a bunch of white supremacist attacks that i'm not aware of or was it always
00:33:03.440
bullshit i know nobody's talking about it i don't see a lot of reports about well you know they're forming
00:33:11.120
their militia up in the hills and they'll be attacking us any minute i don't know it was uh
00:33:18.720
i also wonder in general why there are so few terrorist attacks are we that good at stopping terrorists
00:33:25.760
or can you let millions of people into the country including thousands of terrorists probably and still
00:33:32.480
have no terror attacks how is that even possible i don't know it's amazing
00:33:38.080
well the democrats are trying to make it look like a failure that trump had all the european
00:33:46.320
leaders at the white house and had a good meeting with zelinski and had some phone calls with putin
00:33:52.640
and they're spinning that into the reason that the europeans came is to make sure trump didn't make bad
00:33:59.200
decisions is that what you saw now you know i mean there's obviously they want to be part of the
00:34:08.000
decision and they want to make sure the decision doesn't you know not make sense for europe
00:34:14.160
so obviously they want to be influential in his decisions but does that seem fair that the only
00:34:20.640
reason it came is to try to control trump i would say that trump created a situation where it sort of
00:34:29.120
forced everybody to participate which is a big win for him that's what i'd say
00:34:36.640
um in in other funny news where democrats are trying to find something wrong with what trump is doing
00:34:44.000
apparently john oliver uh he just did a 33 minute long segment on his show attacking make america healthy
00:34:53.040
again um and sort of laughing at it because good health is out of your control
00:35:01.440
unbelievably a prominent uh well democrat decided person i don't know if he's technically a democrat
00:35:08.880
but he's on that side the best they could do is to compound against trying to solve uh chronic health
00:35:17.360
problems and acting like there's nothing you can do that doesn't even sound like a democrat it's so weird
00:35:28.080
well the gateway pundit is explaining um what i was explaining earlier about the ngos so zoran
00:35:35.520
mamdani the guy running for the communist running for mayor of new york city uh apparently one of the
00:35:42.800
ways he gets funded and this is described by uh joel gilbert is writing it in the gateway pundit but
00:35:50.880
apparently there was some uh article in july about how with the elite money flows and who wrote that
00:35:58.960
article sam antar and so here's the way the democrats fund things one way so a billionaire
00:36:09.680
will make a tax deductible donation to a charity now that's the first thing you need to know is
00:36:17.040
that the billionaire gets a tax write-off now the money belongs to the charity and the billionaire did
00:36:23.760
not you know limit what they could use it for just gave it to the charity then the charity can use it for
00:36:31.360
whatever they want so they they transfer um some amount of that money to their political affiliates
00:36:39.920
which would be different organizations that are in political domains like uh like packs so once the
00:36:48.720
pack has it their entire thing is to give money to democrats so it goes so the billionaire gets a tax
00:36:57.200
right off for giving to a charity but the charity doesn't use it for charity they give it to a political
00:37:04.320
action committee democrats and then uh the democrats help the politician get elected their politician
00:37:13.760
and then that politician makes sure that the government gives more money to the charity
00:37:20.160
so that the charity will have more money to give to the political action committees that will get
00:37:25.680
the politician it's it's basically a huge criminal enterprise starting with the fact that the
00:37:32.160
billionaire shouldn't be getting a tax deduction for a political contribution it's just if it's it's
00:37:39.840
laundered through the uh through the uh charity so that's happening also our museums apparently have
00:37:50.400
become woke garbage especially in washington dc so trump is out to fix that the smithsonian he says is
00:37:57.360
out of control and that the smithsonian is focusing too much on how horrible our country is and how bad
00:38:03.840
slavery was and how unaccomplished and downtrodden uh people have been and he says trump says that
00:38:12.640
there's nothing there's nothing about success and our bright future and i agree the purpose of our
00:38:20.400
national museums is to should be propaganda it should be to brainwash our own population into thinking we
00:38:31.760
live in a great country that's worth supporting that's the reason you have the museums we don't have the
00:38:38.640
museums just because it's interesting no you have the museums to brainwash people
00:38:47.120
uh and but if you do it right you're creating a positive which is people feel good about your country
00:38:53.200
and you know they're more willing to uh i don't know support the military and everything else
00:38:59.280
so i think uh trump is 100 right that are federal funded museums um they need to be pro-america
00:39:08.000
and they need to not be saying we suck well elon musk is reportedly liking jd vance for president in
00:39:18.480
2028 and so much so that between the fact that he wants to concentrate on his businesses which he's been
00:39:26.160
doing um he's uh allegedly according to the new york post um pausing his plans for a new political party
00:39:34.800
now i was always a little skeptical if he would follow through on that and it looks like he doesn't
00:39:41.360
want to cause trouble right now um and might he might prefer just backing fans in 2028 we'll see
00:39:52.320
um the oregon governor uh refuses to end sanctuary state policies
00:39:58.400
um even after trump threatened to take away their federal funding and also the boston mayor is also
00:40:07.120
not going to cooperate with ice um so it does look like uh looks like ice is gonna or not ice but
00:40:18.720
looks like the government's going to come after them stephen miller says that these sanctuary cities like
00:40:23.920
boston um are going to face potential criminal charges for harboring and smuggling illegal aliens so
00:40:37.760
all right let me i have to make a decision here
00:40:46.240
and i don't know if i can make it to the end of this
00:40:48.720
so i might have to end early uh i've been having some stomach digestive issues that are
00:40:57.360
that are defcon 10 right now uh whoo boy do i want to see if i can get through this so i'm gonna
00:41:04.400
i'm gonna power my way to the end but i'm gonna end early
00:41:09.440
gavin newsom's proposal to redistrict in california allegedly has a 22-point polling advantage
00:41:16.880
we had heard that it was underwater but according to axios um it's very popular now that makes
00:41:24.480
sense because it's a democrat state so i i kind of kind of assume
00:41:33.280
um trump made a little news by joking that he's trying to get to heaven and that's one of the reasons
00:41:40.080
he's uh trying to end this ukraine war he thinks he might get to heaven if he can end it
00:41:45.040
well here's the part i wanted to do before i end um i have a suggestion for ending the war
00:41:54.800
it starts with the the knowledge that scott besant gave us yesterday did you know that
00:42:01.600
before the war in ukraine uh fewer than actually less than less than one percent of india's oil came
00:42:10.240
from russia and that was 42 percent let me say that again before the war uh india was only buying
00:42:20.800
only one percent of india's oil came from russia and that was 42 percent and india and china are the
00:42:27.920
two biggest buyers of their oil so russia would be in real trouble if if india's 42 percent went back to
00:42:38.560
one percent but you say to yourself well india needs that oil but it turns out according to scott
00:42:48.000
besant that what might really happen is that india has profiteers who are buying the oil for cheap
00:42:55.600
from russia and reselling it to other countries yeah so it turns out the way you go from one
00:43:04.160
percent to 42 percent is that you're not using it domestically you're buying it cheap and then
00:43:10.000
selling it so it does seem to me that trump has a lever if he can influence india either by tariffs or not
00:43:19.920
but uh i came up with my own plan for solving the war and i saw bill ackman was interested in it on x
00:43:27.120
he asked if anybody had a counter argument but here's my argument for ending the war their big
00:43:33.200
problem will be um russia will want to keep all the territory conquered and ukraine will want to give
00:43:40.400
back none of it what will want to give them none of it so how do you solve that my suggestion is that
00:43:46.720
you solve everything else like the security guarantees you solve the things that you can solve
00:43:52.000
but when it comes to who owns those disputed territories you just put it off and you say
00:43:59.680
here's the deal in two years randomly picking two years we will do a referendum in those territories
00:44:07.120
and whatever the locals say they want that's the way we'll go if they want to be russian they're
00:44:12.240
russian if they want to stay in ukraine they stay in ukraine now you're going to say to me scott you
00:44:18.960
fool you simple simple fool don't you know that putin will never do an honest referendum to which i
00:44:28.480
say i know that's part of my plan part of my plan is if you put off the part about who gets what
00:44:37.280
you can solve everything else and stop the killing and then two years from now you'll do a referendum
00:44:42.800
there will be complaints that is rigged of course but we'll sort of be over it by then
00:44:52.320
it would be it would be unlikely by then that the war would start up again and putin would just keep
00:44:59.760
the territory that he captured now the reason that this can work is that it sort of kicks the can down
00:45:06.880
the road of who owns those territories and it gives you at least a public argument for how the
00:45:15.040
residents are going to get what they want the reality of course will be different but we can
00:45:20.880
at least get past this and we're going to get to you know russia was going to keep those territories
00:45:25.680
anyway so nothing changes except the argument for how those territories became russian
00:45:32.960
if the argument stays russia conquered them and that's why it owns them that's not good because
00:45:42.000
maybe ukraine just can't allow that but could ukraine allow russia to control that territory if the
00:45:50.320
residents in a referendum said yeah we prefer to be russian they can so it would give ukraine a way
00:45:58.480
to give something up without looking so much like they gave something up so there would be a little
00:46:05.680
fiction involved that the residents really are in charge of the decision they wouldn't be
00:46:12.080
but it would look like it and that might be good enough if anybody has a better idea i'd love to hear it
00:46:18.560
um so that was the main thing just a few other things of interest allegedly according to fortune 14.5
00:46:29.760
of china's young professionals are unemployed do you think that's true that almost 15 of china's
00:46:37.040
young professionals are unemployed that would be a problem apparently the u.s is sending three destroyers
00:46:44.080
and 4 000 troops down to the coast of venezuela to combat the fact that madura ahead of venezuela is
00:46:51.840
really essentially a cartel operative so i don't know how hard trump is going to go against venezuela but
00:47:00.640
might be pretty hard and uh nuclear power is having a golden age and i'm just too much pain to talk about it
00:47:11.120
so i'm going to say uh bye for now i can't talk to you today locals uh i really need to take care of
00:47:18.960
my health here um i'm in serious serious pain right now thanks for joining bye for now
