Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2935 CWSA 08⧸22⧸25

00:00:00.000 a seat. Good to see you. My goodness, you look good. Did you get a haircut or you been

00:00:09.240 to the gym? Looks like you got a little bit of sun. Well, let's look at our comments.

00:00:19.040 And once those are working, we're going to jump into it. There we go.

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

00:00:42.740 since the younger Dryas period. Before then, there were some really good highlights, but

00:00:48.400 I can't tell you about them. However, if you'd like to try to elevate your experience up to

00:00:56.320 levels that no one can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is

00:01:01.900 a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a cider candy and jug or a flask, a vessel of

00:01:07.340 any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled

00:01:13.700 pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day and the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:17.640 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Perfect. That's what I'm talking about.

00:01:32.740 The good stuff. Well, did you hear what Trump said about the re-grassing of the D.C. parks?

00:01:42.740 Apparently, the lawn areas of the parks in D.C. are kind of worn out. But I have to read

00:01:51.160 to you the exact words that Trump used to describe that situation. Now, I laughed until I cried

00:02:00.480 just listening to him talk because nobody does it like he does it. And I understand why News

00:02:08.920 is trying to mock him because mockery is always useful. But you can't mock perfection. And the

00:02:17.440 thing is, there was a time when making fun of the way Trump spoke kind of made sense because people

00:02:25.840 didn't understand that he was the best communicator in the world. And it just looked different.

00:02:31.260 But we have since learned that whatever the hell it is he's doing is the best communication we've

00:02:38.480 ever seen. Certainly from a president. But let me read to you his exact words about the grass

00:02:48.820 and the parks. Are you ready? Let's see if I can do this without laughing before I get to

00:02:55.040 the end. This is going to be hard. All right. Trump on the grass of the D.C. parks. Quote,

00:03:04.200 I'm very good at grass. That's as far as I can get. I'm very good at grass because I have a lot

00:03:14.700 of golf courses all over the place. All over the place. I know more about grass than any human

00:03:22.320 being in the world. We have a life. Grass has a life. And the grass here died about 40 years ago.

00:03:37.540 You tell me that Newsom can copy that. You can't copy that. There's only one person in the world who

00:04:00.520 can do this. Oh. And the lesson from this is that once you've developed a character that is

00:04:09.620 yourself or the character you're writing for, once you have the character, it's so much easier to write

00:04:15.860 humor, you know, because you just make it compatible with the personality. Oh, my God. I'm very good at

00:04:22.600 grass. I know more about grass than any human being in the world.

00:04:30.520 Oh, that's just so good. All right. So Elon Musk is pointing out that Grok apparently is the best

00:04:46.280 as some kind of benchmark test for prediction. So the best predicting AI in the world is Grok at the

00:04:58.100 moment. And Elon Musk points out that Grok is the best at predicting the future, which is the best

00:05:08.240 measure of intelligence, in my opinion, Elon Musk says. Now, you've probably heard me say that

00:05:15.920 we don't understand reality. You know, our brains are not optimized to actually fundamentally

00:05:23.960 understand our reality. The closest we can get to knowing what's real is knowing what predicts.

00:05:33.480 So that's not very far from saying that the best measure of intelligence is the ability to predict.

00:05:41.020 And in the real world, the people who can predict the best definitely do the best. There's no doubt

00:05:48.020 about it. So yeah, I would say the ability to predict is intelligence. I think didn't Elon tease that AGI

00:05:56.160 might show its head in the next version of Grok. So Grok might be getting close to something like

00:06:06.180 an advanced general intelligence, but not this version. Might be the next version. We'll see.

00:06:12.160 And then there were some very big words used by Elon Musk and another user I'll tell you about.

00:06:21.480 And I think I know what it means, but let me tell you the words they use.

00:06:27.640 There was a user named Xfreeze on X who said that XAI's long-term plan is to be an edge node

00:06:38.000 running AI inference to generate pixels and audio. No more traditional OS or apps, but just AI rendering

00:06:47.340 everything directly. Now, I'm not sure most of you, and including me, totally understand what edge node

00:06:56.920 running AI inference to generate pixels and audio means.

00:07:01.700 But then Elon weighed in comment on that comment, and he said, it's an easy prediction of where things

00:07:12.440 are headed. Devices will just be edge nodes for AI inference. Okay. What's that? As bandwidth limitations

00:07:20.460 prevent everything being done server side. Okay. So then other people commented on it, and here's what I

00:07:30.380 believe they're saying. I believe they're saying. It's funny that he said it's an easy prediction

00:07:36.820 because he just said their prediction is intelligence. So what I think it means is that your phone

00:07:47.020 will no longer have an operating system, traditional operating system. It will no longer have apps.

00:07:54.440 It will just be AI. And it will be shrunken. AI will be able to run mostly on your phone locally.

00:08:04.440 I think that's what it means. And then if you want your phone to do something that an app would have

00:08:10.120 done in the past, you don't need the app because the phone can essentially write the app in real time

00:08:17.040 or pretend it's an agent to do whatever it was you wanted. So how does it do that? Well, it would take

00:08:25.080 massive changes and everything. But this is what I predicted for a while now. You remember me

00:08:33.240 predicting this? I predicted that your hardware, the hardware of your phone would become neutral.

00:08:41.300 And then if I picked it up, it would look at my face and then give me my version of a phone. And if you

00:08:49.400 picked up the same device right after I handed it to you, it would look at your face and it would become

00:08:55.600 whatever you wanted it to become. So I think that's what's coming. Speaking of XAI, a user named

00:09:08.980 B. Stewart, who may be watching right now, used Grok to try to find out which of my books

00:09:18.200 cover the drinking and methods to quit. Well, the answer is that I mentioned my reframe,

00:09:28.840 The Alcohol is Poison. I've mentioned it in two different books, but I don't really talk about it

00:09:33.960 in depth. So if you're looking to quit alcohol, you don't need the books. I'd love you to buy them

00:09:39.640 because they're great books, but you don't need them to quit alcohol.

00:09:45.840 So it's just the reframe. You know, if you think of alcohol as a hobby or as a beverage, you're going

00:09:53.140 to do more of it. And if you think of it just even in your own mind, you don't even have to say

00:09:58.480 anything out loud. If you just think of it as poison, your brain will just steer you away from

00:10:04.620 it and it becomes automatic and easy. So that's my claim. And a lot of people have tried it to work.

00:10:12.920 Now, but what did Grok say when he asked which of my books will teach you adequate alcohol?

00:10:22.680 Well, Grok said that I, as the author of those books, had an alcohol problem. And my books describe

00:10:34.020 how I beat my alcohol problem. I've never had an alcohol problem. Grok actually thinks that I'm a

00:10:45.780 recovering alcoholic. Uh, no, I mean, I'm not perfect. I've got my flaws, but no, I've never

00:10:55.300 been an alcoholic. I've never had a drinking problem. Uh, but if you, if you looked up my books

00:11:02.940 and you, if you, uh, prompted the question just right, it would tell you I'm a recovering alcoholic,

00:11:12.420 but I'm not. Uh, well, apparently, uh, Trump has signed some executive order to create what he

00:11:21.920 calls the chief design officer of the United States in a national design studio. I kind of love that

00:11:30.280 idea. We'll have to wait, you know, to see how the execution is and who it is and all that.

00:11:35.600 But I do agree with Trump that part of the responsibility of the president is to make sure

00:11:43.600 that the country shows well, that if somebody visits it, it looks good. If you're born here,

00:11:51.220 you, you like it. Um, when people think about it, they think positively and it's leaving the right

00:11:58.040 message about freedom and about, you know, opportunity and hope and possibility and all that.

00:12:05.000 So yeah, I think, uh, Trump is way ahead of the average person because he understands persuasion

00:12:13.780 and design is destiny. Design is persuasion. So yeah, I like that, that, uh, if it's done right,

00:12:25.720 it doesn't become just a big money hole, uh, which would be possible if the Democrats were doing this.

00:12:32.820 But if you get the right person, I like it. Well, zero hedges reporting that the U S manufacturing

00:12:41.340 activity is unexpectedly, um, higher than it has been since 2022. So apparently we weren't expecting

00:12:49.960 it to be this good, but I have to say, I don't believe any economic data anymore.

00:12:56.700 You know, sometimes I want to believe stuff. So I'll, you know, I'll tell you about it and act happy

00:13:03.640 about it. And certainly there are reasons to believe that manufacturing should be up a little

00:13:10.920 bit. You know, I mean, we're trying hard to, to do that and maybe, maybe it's real.

00:13:19.260 Well, honestly, when I look at stuff like this, I just say to myself, uh, they'll probably revise it

00:13:26.160 later. So it's not down. I'd feel bad if it were down. Uh, but I'm not sure. I believe it's up.

00:13:36.100 It might be. I mean, there's a reason it could be.

00:13:39.380 Well, speaking of data, Pam Bondi says there's been no murder in DC for a week because of all

00:13:49.180 the federalizing of it. And, uh, they've surged so many people to help with the policing. So you've

00:13:57.020 got the feds and you've got the, uh, uh, national guard and everything. Uh, apparently the murderers

00:14:04.220 took the week off, you know, I I've heard that in the week when there's a big, uh, tech trade show

00:14:12.720 in Las Vegas, I don't know if this is true, but it's like one of those funny things people say

00:14:17.960 that the, uh, the hookers take the week off because the engineers are really bad customers. 0.99

00:14:25.120 And I've also heard that, um, the cab drivers who sometimes will take the week off in Vegas. 0.71

00:14:33.100 If it's the technical show because they think the engineers are bad tippers. Now, I don't

00:14:40.520 know if either of those things is true, but it reminded me of no murder in DC for a week.

00:14:48.000 It makes you wonder if the murderers took the week off. It's like, you know what? I was, uh,

00:14:54.460 planning a summer vacation anyway. So I think I'll take a week off for a murder and, uh, we'll

00:15:02.680 get back to it. And, uh, once all these people are gone and they think they've solved it, well,

00:15:08.340 I'll just go back to murdering. But for now I'll take a couple of weeks off. All right.

00:15:14.580 Um, according to, uh, DEA administrator, Terry Cole, who was on Fox news. Um, he said that,

00:15:27.080 uh, the fentanyl deaths should be way down because Trump is doing such a good job securing the border

00:15:34.360 and, you know, capturing the fentanyl at the border and stuff. Um, here again, I do not believe

00:15:41.820 any statistics and I definitely don't believe that, uh, ODs are down because of anything that

00:15:50.040 happened at the border. And the reason is there's not a shortage of fentanyl. It's so easy to make

00:15:58.080 and it's so, so small and light, uh, and easy to ship that you could catch, I'll just make up a

00:16:07.040 number, but you'll get the idea. You could probably stop 90% of it. It wouldn't make any difference at

00:16:13.920 all because the bad guys would just make so much more of it that the 10% you didn't get was as big

00:16:22.440 as the 90% that you used to not get. So as long as they can, uh, ratchet it up in an unlimited amount

00:16:30.800 and it doesn't really cost them that much when it gets caught, you know, just some, some member of

00:16:36.740 the tribe gets put in jail and you lose some bills, but you just make more. So I don't know if

00:16:43.880 that makes the difference, but it's better than not doing it. I think the Narcan will bring down 0.95

00:16:48.360 the ODs because the OD deaths are way down anyway, but I don't know if it's because of the border

00:16:56.220 being better managed. There are lots of reasons to manage the border. Um, but more, it's mostly

00:17:03.160 human reasons. You know, we, we need to control the human beings coming in and we should try as hard 1.00

00:17:09.360 as we can to stop the fentanyl, but, um, I don't know that the ODs will go down if we do a good

00:17:16.020 job stopping humans. Well, I read the news today and one of two things is true because I saw a news

00:17:26.800 story that was opposite the other news story. Either we just, the U S just made a, uh, incredibly good

00:17:36.320 trade deal with the European union or, um, that deal was stalled because we don't have agreement

00:17:45.500 on some of the digital free speech stuff and the digital rules that they have over there that would

00:17:52.180 be bad for our digital platforms that come from America. So which is it? I saw both stories and they

00:18:01.280 both look credible and they both had details. So did we just complete a major trade deal with Europe

00:18:08.240 or did we think we had it? And then we found out there's, you know, this major sticking point with

00:18:17.220 the digital stuff. I can't tell. I asked Grok and I got one answer and I looked at the news and I saw

00:18:26.620 two different answers. It's one of those things, right? So probably it depends which of the articles

00:18:32.100 got written, you know, two hours before the other one, uh, which I don't exactly know.

00:18:38.600 So do you know, do we have a deal with Europe or was that stalled and we got excited about it and

00:18:46.220 that it didn't happen? I don't know. Maybe we'll know by tomorrow, but, uh, one of the big elements

00:18:52.360 of it, assuming that we'll get this deal one way or the other, we'll get to a deal, a huge part of the,

00:18:58.820 uh, EU trade deal is, uh, them investing more in our, uh, in our energy sector and buying more of our,

00:19:09.560 um, specially liquefied natural gas and also nuclear energy assets of some kind, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:18.060 So part of this would be the deal would, uh, wean Europe off of Russia as a supplier. Now that's

00:19:27.320 important because that's more than just a trade deal. That would be also, you know, moving towards

00:19:33.540 solving the Ukraine war situation by starving Russia of their, you know, easiest way to make 0.85

00:19:40.700 money. So we'll see. We'll see if that European thing, if it's true, it's a pretty big deal.

00:20:47.800 Well, Peter Navarro, White House Trade Advisor, was explaining that he doesn't expect Trump to

00:20:58.300 extend the timeline for India to make a trade deal and that his deadlines will kick in and he'll just

00:21:08.920 be doubling the tariff on India. But part of the reason that the tariff will be super high,

00:21:14.900 tariff on India, is because they're selling or they're buying oil from Russia. Now apparently

00:21:23.400 most of what they're buying from Russia is because it's cheap, obviously, but it's so cheap that they're

00:21:32.240 buying more than they need and reselling it, which is no bueno. So Trump is going to penalize them big

00:21:40.400 time with a 50% tariff, which includes a 25% penalty for the oil purchases that Trump says

00:21:49.080 are coming from Russia. So Trump's got two more points of leverage on Putin. One is that Europe

00:22:00.400 will buy less and buy more from us. And the other is that India might become much less of a big market

00:22:09.640 for them if they bow to our economic pressure. I don't know if they will, but they might.

00:22:18.520 Well, I made a prediction on Axe about what would happen with the war, the Ukraine situation,

00:22:25.580 and people got really mad at me. And I don't exactly know what's behind that. At first,

00:22:32.820 I thought it was a bunch of Russian trolls, you know, just bots that were coming in and just 0.81

00:22:37.540 insulting me to make me go away because they didn't like what I said. But when I accused the

00:22:43.400 commenters of being Russian bots, many of them seem to be real, you know, because they commented

00:22:50.600 that they were real. And they're really mad at me. Does anybody know why? I don't. Because it was

00:22:59.840 just an opinion on how things might go. Why would you get mad at me for that? And so the comments,

00:23:07.280 well, I'll tell you what I said, and then I'll tell you the comments. So my post on Axe was that

00:23:12.980 when, that Putin is going to keep yanking the football away from Trump. In other words,

00:23:19.120 I'm predicting that Putin does not have good intentions for solving the war anytime soon,

00:23:25.380 and that he's just stalling yet again. And I said that when Trump turns on Putin, and he will,

00:23:33.040 the Russian economy is in trouble. Oh my God, did people come after me for that? Why would you be

00:23:39.140 mad at me for saying that Trump will turn on Putin and the Russian economy was in trouble? Well,

00:23:46.600 some people were really insulting and saying that I didn't understand economics.

00:23:53.020 Now, none of the people who said that have a degree in economics and an MBA from a top business

00:23:59.780 school like I do. But they believe that I must know nothing about economics if I thought that Trump

00:24:05.900 could influence the economy of Russia. Other people said, you know, that he's already tried,

00:24:12.740 everybody's tried, and all it does is drive Russia to bricks. So it will just make them, 0.97

00:24:19.060 you know, further immune from our economic pressure. So it will work the opposite of what I think.

00:24:25.120 Other people, I don't know, they just had every insult in the world. Very different from how people

00:24:32.120 react to my other posts. Lots of hatred and just insult. And I don't know why.

00:24:38.060 And then people came in with loser-think arguments. Remember, I always make fun of analogies.

00:24:50.220 So I made an analogy of the football being pulled away. But really, that's just a way of describing

00:24:57.700 the situation. And then some NPC on X called Steve Stevens. Boy, one way to know you're dealing

00:25:06.120 with an NPC is if their first name and last name are basically the same. Steve Stevens. Okay.

00:25:14.480 The second one is with a PH, but still, it's Steve Stevens. You know, your parents,

00:25:23.980 they just gave up. What are we going to call them? I don't know. How about Steve? Our last name

00:25:30.840 is Stevens. Yeah. I don't care. Anyway, when he heard my analogy that Putin keeps pulling the

00:25:38.340 football away from Trump, he cleverly commented, oh, just like Charlie Brown eventually turned on

00:25:45.260 Lucy. Okay. That's not how analogies work. An analogy is not trying to be the same as the thing

00:25:55.760 you're talking about. That's not what an analogy is. You wouldn't need an analogy if it were the same.

00:26:05.020 If all parts of it were the same, the analogy wouldn't be adding anything. So you want an

00:26:11.900 analogy that makes one narrow point, which is a football could be pulled away from somebody. 0.92

00:26:17.820 It doesn't mean every fucking part of the analogy has to fit. That's not how analogies work. So now

00:26:25.420 the fact that Charlie Brown did not eventually turn on Lucy is not going to tell you anything

00:26:32.720 about what Trump and Putin will do. And the level of stupidity in the comments was really 1.00

00:26:40.700 sort of unprecedented. And I don't know what it is about Ukraine and Russia that made people just 1.00

00:26:46.800 stupid and angry. It was weird. But let me tell you my argument and it goes like this. 1.00

00:26:54.540 It is true that it seems like we've done every sanction that you can do to Russia, right? If you

00:27:02.060 follow the news, as most of you do, wouldn't you say that all the sanctions have already been tried and

00:27:10.060 they didn't make any difference at all? Feels like it, right? But here's my take on that.

00:27:17.500 Presumably, we haven't run out of things to do. We've simply run out of things to do that were at

00:27:23.560 the risk-reward level we were willing to go to. Does that make sense? Clearly, there are riskier

00:27:30.760 things we could do to Russia. Would you like an example of a risky thing that could be done to Russia

00:27:36.660 that would affect their economy? Well, how about blowing up their pipeline? 0.57

00:27:43.980 We've done that. We've blown up their pipeline and acted like, well, I don't know, maybe they blew it up

00:27:50.060 themselves. Now, that was Biden. But you don't think that the United States could blow up another

00:27:57.220 pipeline. You don't think that Trump is already hinting that he thinks Zelensky should take more

00:28:07.320 offensive actions on the country of Russia itself, which is the opposite of what everybody's been

00:28:14.460 saying. Up until now, we've been saying, ah, it's too much risk. You know, don't go after the mainland

00:28:20.220 Russia. Don't do that. But not now. Now that it looks like Russia has no intention of being honest

00:28:27.580 and negotiating the ends of the war, suddenly that risk doesn't look so bad. Does it? So what if Trump

00:28:37.120 said, all right, here's the deal, Zelensky. I'm going to give you some really accurate missiles

00:28:42.620 with long range. I want you to take out their refineries and their pipelines and go after their

00:28:49.780 economic, you know, lifeline. Now, obviously, that would make Putin need to respond and he might do

00:29:00.260 the same to Ukraine, et cetera. So it's high risk. But would it hurt their economy if their oil pipelines

00:29:08.840 and refineries all started blowing up? It would, right? How would it not? So those people who said

00:29:16.900 there's nothing more we can do, sanctions-wise or any otherwise, that's crazy. If we unleashed the CIA,

00:29:26.560 they said, here's the deal. We're going to take much higher risk. And we know that the Russians are, 0.99

00:29:33.100 they've already penetrated all of our major, you know, utilities and everything. And they could

00:29:38.920 basically open our dams and turn off our lights and do all kinds of things in the U.S. But we don't

00:29:46.400 think they will. That's sort of what happened with the pipeline, right? When Biden blew up the pipeline,

00:29:54.640 of course, Russia knew who did it. Of course they did. But did that cause Putin to do a bunch of

00:30:02.620 terrorist acts within the United States? Not that I know of. Not that I know of. So he does have some

00:30:10.100 sense of restraint because he knows if he escalates, we'll escalate. And he doesn't want that because we

00:30:17.960 could escalate further than he can. So how many of you believe there's literally nothing at any level

00:30:26.680 of risk that Trump could do to degrade the Russian economy? Is anybody here who's stupid enough to 1.00

00:30:34.980 think there's just nothing that could be done? Now, I'm not saying that the risk-reward makes sense, 1.00

00:30:44.480 but Trump could definitely ratchet up the dirty tricks and he could ratchet up what weapons he sells.

00:30:51.460 He could scare people about the economy. I don't remember anybody going after India,

00:30:59.760 going after them hard as he is with these tariffs. I don't remember anybody trying that before.

00:31:06.140 And if he gets India to cooperate, that's a huge impact. A huge impact. India is the number two

00:31:13.480 buyer of their energy. Number two is buyer. And he could turn that off because it used to be 1%

00:31:21.320 and it went to 40% of what they were buying. So if I made my case, would you all agree

00:31:30.920 that although the risk of doing so might be more risk than you're comfortable with,

00:31:36.820 but there's lots of stuff that Trump could still do to degrade Russia's economy? In my opinion,

00:31:44.560 that's what he's going to do. And he might say it directly, not that he needs to, but he might say

00:31:52.280 it directly. All right, here's the deal. We're not going to put up with endless war. So we're going

00:31:57.840 to destroy your economy and we're going to take you out of the energy business. We're going to

00:32:03.000 undersell. I'm going to get my friends. And if there's anybody who really needs this oil at the

00:32:08.620 price you're selling it, we will sell it to them instead at even a cheaper level. I don't know if

00:32:15.540 that would make sense. But the point is, there's a lot that Trump could do if he's willing to take

00:32:23.140 the risk. And we have now entered the phase we're taking extra risk probably is where things are going

00:32:32.500 to go.

00:32:51.800 Trump said that he's aware that things slow down. It doesn't look like Russia is serious at this

00:33:02.240 point because they haven't really even organized a meeting between Zelensky and Putin. And without

00:33:09.000 that, it kind of indicates nothing's going to happen. But here's what Trump said on, let's see,

00:33:16.040 did he say this on truth? He said, quote, it is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without

00:33:21.660 attacking an invader's country. It's like a great team of sports that has fantastic defense,

00:33:28.160 but is not allowed to play offense. There's no chance of winning. It is like that with Ukraine 1.00

00:33:33.860 and Russia. All right. Now, I don't know how you can interpret that anyway, except saying that Trump

00:33:40.760 just gave a total green flag, green light, green light, let's say, to Ukraine to attack anything they want 0.86

00:33:50.640 inside of Russia. How else would you interpret that? So will that affect Russia's economy?

00:34:02.000 Well, it depends on what they attack. I think it might.

00:34:08.280 So anyway, some good news for Trump, 5-4 ruling in the Supreme Court, that Trump and his administration

00:34:18.600 can cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in NIH, that's the National Institute of Health,

00:34:26.100 grants that are linked to diversity initiatives. So I guess a Boston judge had blocked them

00:34:34.500 from cutting those diversity initiative grants, but now they have permission to do that.

00:34:40.880 So yet again, another victory for Trump in the courts. As you know, the New York appeals court threw out

00:34:50.260 that $500 million-ish penalty against Trump. He's still guilty of the, you know, not being,

00:34:59.600 let's say, accurate on his loan application, but there were no victims, and there's no way there

00:35:07.200 would have been a victim because of the way the process works. And the bank didn't have a problem

00:35:13.440 with it, would do business with him again. But that may end up in the Supreme Court or the higher

00:35:21.860 court in New York, I guess. So that's not done. But I think Trump's having good results with the courts.

00:35:30.980 Things are starting to go his way. I saw some comments about the Smithsonian. There was somebody

00:35:40.240 who went to the Smithsonian recently, and apparently it's totally DEI downed. So Trump's desire to get

00:35:49.660 the Smithsonian back into more of an America first and less of an emphasis about identity politics

00:35:58.100 and we're all bad slavers and stuff like that. He wanted to make it a little more, let's say,

00:36:06.360 a more optimistic experience, more positivity. But apparently the Smithsonian did go downhill

00:36:14.180 quite a bit. And you get hit with a DEI stick the moment you walk in, I guess.

00:36:19.720 But Robbie Starbuck, an activist against this DEI stuff in corporate America,

00:36:28.180 said that the Smithsonian's prior head diversity officer from 2022 to 2025 is no longer a head

00:36:39.000 diversity officer because they don't have that job anymore. Because, you know, the federal government

00:36:43.480 said that having a DEI thing is illegal. It's against the law. So they no longer have a head diversity 0.86

00:36:52.740 officer. No, now they have a director of visitor accessibility who happens to be the ex-head diversity

00:37:00.620 officer. And Robbie Starbuck says that he's hearing that nothing has changed except the job title

00:37:08.840 and that equity is still the point of the job. Now, has anybody said yet that the DEI stuff is systemic

00:37:21.980 racism? You can't get more systemic than it's illegal, you have to stop it, and then people just burrowing

00:37:31.260 more deeply into the system and doing exactly what they were doing. That is systemic. It's in

00:37:38.460 every government organization. It's in every private entity. It's in every charity. Everything

00:37:46.780 in the United States is completely infected with massive DEI racism. Systemic. I would say at this

00:37:56.080 point, and I've always said, by the way, that racism against black Americans is systemic. I've always

00:38:04.420 disagreed with that description. What I don't agree with is, why is that my problem? Why is that my

00:38:11.340 problem? Yes, systemic racism exists. That's bad for black Americans. But also, yes, systemic racism has

00:38:23.420 existed for at least 50 years. That is massively discriminates against white males, especially. But

00:38:33.420 again, am I really asking for reparations? I mean, jokingly, I do, but not really. We all have

00:38:40.140 problems. Some people are short. Some people are unhealthy. Some people are not smart, and they

00:38:48.500 never will be. How is any of that fair? We don't live in a world where anything is fair. The best you can

00:38:58.260 do is figure out where you can use the unfairness to your advantage. So clearly, there are places you

00:39:05.660 can go where it's a lot easier to use the DEI systemic racism to your advantage, and there are

00:39:13.040 places that you would want to avoid if you were not one of the people that DEI favors. So it's

00:39:20.980 definitely systemic racism. And I don't know why we don't call it that. But I guess my main

00:39:32.780 point is, we are suckers if we allow people to say, hey, the average of people who are in 0.84

00:39:41.800 this category that I decided is a category are doing worse than the average of the people in 0.88

00:39:47.200 this other category. That doesn't mean you have to fix that. That does not tell you, you must fix

00:39:55.320 it. It just tells you what it is. The must fix it should be activated at an individual level, not an

00:40:04.360 average of a group. If there's an individual that you can help, maybe you can mentor them, maybe you give

00:40:11.760 them a job, maybe you give them a chance, maybe you direct them in the right place. By all means, you

00:40:17.620 should be doing that like crazy, no matter who the person is. If you can help. If you can help, help.

00:40:23.940 But no, we should not be managing to anybody's average based on their group. And you cannot tell me

00:40:30.360 that there's a reason I have to do that. There's no reason. It's just power. Somebody figured out that

00:40:36.860 they could get some funding, they could turn it into a grift, they could, you know, maybe make some

00:40:42.780 money. But we don't have to fall for that. We don't have to fall for any of that. It's just not our

00:40:50.420 problem. I saw somebody throw the handicapped in there. The handicapped is a different situation. 0.85

00:40:59.240 Because one of the things about being handicapped is it could happen to any one of us at any time.

00:41:04.340 So having spent a little time being handicapped this year, there was a part of my year where I

00:41:12.540 couldn't walk unaided. I mean, I needed a wheelchair or a walker or something. I'm, I'm past that at the

00:41:20.380 moment. So I can walk just fine at the moment. But once you experience being, you know, truly disabled,

00:41:28.300 disabled, it makes you a little bit flexible about the disabled. So that's a different category.

00:41:36.500 It's something we could all possibly pass through. So I feel different about that.

00:41:44.200 Well, Secretary Rubio says effective immediately, they're going to not give

00:41:50.040 worker visas for commercial truck drivers in this country. Now, I did not know that we were recruiting

00:41:59.920 commercial truck drivers from other countries. Because correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine

00:42:08.120 a job that would be more perfect for people who did not already have experience that was commercially

00:42:16.600 valuable. Because you can go to truck driving school. And in just a few weeks, you're all trained

00:42:24.540 up to be a big rig truck driver. So we should really be hiring Americans for the jobs that are sort of 0.71

00:42:35.320 most perfectly designed for somebody who's not already, you know, killing it in life.

00:42:40.380 So I guess I'm surprised that we ever had worker visas for that category. So yeah, I agree with 1.00

00:42:48.720 Rubio. Cut that out. 0.70

00:42:52.840 Jonathan Turley is writing about how Democrats are getting increasingly violent in their rhetoric.

00:43:02.320 He gives some examples. Governor Newsom recently said, I'm going to punch these sons of bitches in the 1.00

00:43:08.540 mouth. So he's talking about Republicans as these sons of bitches he's going to punch in the mouth. 1.00

00:43:15.000 Now, he doesn't say it like he means it physically. But it's very violent rhetoric, isn't it? And he's 1.00

00:43:24.500 not alone. So Hakeem Jeffries recently posed holding a baseball bat, but not for sports. As in,

00:43:35.100 I'm going to use this club on Republicans. One House Democrat recently told Axios, and this is all in

00:43:44.660 Jonathan Turley's excellent article. One House Democrat told Axios that some of the Democrats has

00:43:54.800 suggested that what we really need to do is be willing to get a shot. So they're even talking about

00:44:02.760 accepting some violence on their own team in order to, you know, push their violent, I don't know,

00:44:10.800 goals. And yet another one admitted that constituents have told them to, quote, prepare for violence,

00:44:19.220 to fight to protect our democracy. And others say that we need, well, we might need to storm the

00:44:27.740 White House and stuff like that. One explained they're angry beyond things. Beyond things. Now

00:44:37.720 they're angry at people, I guess that means. And it's like the Roman Coliseum. People just want more

00:44:42.640 and more of this spectacle. Yeah, they like the fight. So people are drawn to the talking about the

00:44:48.920 fight. All right. Here's my take on this. You've heard it said that if all you have is a hammer,

00:44:54.800 everything looks like a nail. Well, the Democrats, they don't have policies, nor can they, which is

00:45:06.260 the funny thing. If I tell you, hey, the Democrats are not explaining policies that they would bring

00:45:13.840 you, it's not that they haven't done it yet. It's that there's no way to do it. Because the policies

00:45:21.900 that they would have to come up with would have to be counter to common sense, because the Republicans

00:45:27.980 are owning common sense. They're doing things that the majority of Americans say, oh, that makes sense.

00:45:35.280 Pretty much all day long. It's just stuff that the majority likes. So what exactly would be the policy

00:45:42.560 that would get Democrats their power back if they're going against the majority of Americans?

00:45:49.000 Americans. There's no place to play. It's just not an option. Oh, Gary the cat has come to join us. 0.69

00:45:59.300 So here's my hammer analogy. If everything, if all you have is a hammer, which in this case is words,

00:46:10.920 you know, they're angry words, that's their only hammer. So for all situations, they think, oh, angry words.

00:46:20.500 What happens? Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

00:46:23.240 All right. What happens? Did I lose you there? Gap problem. What happens if they try using all those 1.00

00:46:36.900 fighting words and it doesn't work? So this is how I imagine it. It would be, all right, we've got to

00:46:44.560 fight Trump harder. Okay. Let's talk about fighting. And they go out and for a few weeks,

00:46:50.160 they use fighting words. Uh, we got to fight them. We got to fight harder. We got to argue harder.

00:46:56.240 We got to work harder, fight harder. And they come back in two weeks and their popularity is going

00:47:01.900 down again. So remember, all they have is a hammer. They don't have any other tools, no policies,

00:47:09.360 no good leaders, no good leaders, nothing. So what do they do now? Well, then they get a bigger

00:47:19.120 hammer. What would be a bigger hammer than just using lots of fighting words? You already know the

00:47:26.120 answer. They would start cursing while they use fighting words. So now it's not just, we're going to

00:47:34.160 fight them every turn. It's going to be, we're going to punch them in the mouth. We're going to 1.00

00:47:40.380 take a bat to them. We're going to storm the Capitol. It's still just the hammer because it's 0.99

00:47:46.020 just talking, but they, they got a bigger hammer. What is the, the, the third biggest hammer is the

00:47:53.680 physical threats. So they go from strong talk to strong talk with swearing, which also doesn't give

00:48:02.240 them anything. And then they go, man, strong talk didn't work. Strong talk with swearing isn't

00:48:07.960 working. Let's add some violence. And that's where they're at. But you had to get there because

00:48:16.560 their whole game is that they won't come up with policies or good ideas or good candidates.

00:48:24.680 They will just talk sternly. And that's it.

00:48:31.900 Anyway, speaking of that, Representative Jasmine Crockett said in a recent podcast, I think it was

00:48:40.120 with Newsom actually, that President Trump's quote, white nationalist army tried to pull a coup on January

00:48:49.460 6th. And she also claimed that the most unpatriotic people in the country are Trump and the MAGA

00:48:57.440 movement. Now she's one of the top leaders for the Democrats now. Remember where I said, all they have

00:49:06.880 is a hammer. They don't have smart people to say smart things. They really don't. Um, and it gets worse

00:49:17.520 because in Axios, Mike Allen is writing about how there was a, a memo got sent out to Democrats from

00:49:25.460 the third way. It's a think tank run by Democrats. And the think tank is recommending that the Democrats,

00:49:34.780 uh, get rid of their jargon because it's off putting. And they gave them a list of words to stop

00:49:42.920 using. Now you can't, that's something that's unimaginable for the Republicans, isn't it?

00:49:52.020 It's unimaginable that somebody would make a list and give it to the Republicans and say, don't use

00:49:58.480 these words. But on their list of words that make things worse. I, I, it's a very long list, by the

00:50:07.380 way. It's all the, the words that you would find off putting, uh, birthing person, inseminated person

00:50:14.220 instead of, you know, a woman who's pregnant, pregnant people, chest feeding, heteronormative

00:50:21.180 patriarchy, subverting norms. Uh, don't talk about that, subverting norms, system of oppression,

00:50:30.080 critical theory, cultural appropriation, postmodernism, Overton window, heuristics,

00:50:35.620 privilege, violence as an environment, as in the environment is violence, dialoguing, othering,

00:50:42.660 triggering, progressive stack, centering, holding space. And there are about 50 other words on the list.

00:50:51.180 Now, do you think that'll work? Do you think that, uh, Democrats are capable of talking like

00:51:00.100 Republicans? Oh, they're not, they're not capable of that. No, this has no chance of working.

00:51:09.460 To my point, David Axelrod, who you would consider one of the top, uh, you know, leading Democrat,

00:51:19.060 uh, experts and consultants. Um, he was just on a podcast or an interview. I don't know what it was.

00:51:26.500 Uh, he claims that it's a constant problem for Democrats that they follow the norms. Um, so

00:51:37.060 he's already, you know, he's using the kind of language that they're trying to stay away from.

00:51:43.140 Uh, and do you believe that this would be a true statement that Democrats have followed the norms,

00:51:49.140 but, uh, Trump has a big advantage because he breaks norms?

00:51:55.620 Is that what you're watching?

00:51:59.460 Uh, does Axelrod not know that the Democrats have been running a total hoaxocracy for over 10 years,

00:52:10.500 and that they're using lawfare and they're using every trick that you could possibly use?

00:52:18.420 They have broken every norm that we've ever had. And does David Axelrod not know that?

00:52:26.900 Has he not noticed that his own party has broken every norm that you could break?

00:52:31.540 Or does he know it, but he's just lying? I actually don't know because he couldn't possibly be dumb enough 0.99

00:52:43.140 to not have noticed all the lawfare and the, you know, the breaking of norms by the Democrats. 0.99

00:52:50.580 Um, but it doesn't seem like something he'd lie about because it would be such a dumb lie. 0.97

00:52:58.900 Everybody would know it was a lie. So I don't know. I can't tell if he's dumb or lying.

00:53:04.580 This one's a tough one. Um, I'll just assume that Axelrod was in a coma for the past 10 years, 0.98

00:53:11.220 so he didn't notice. Uh, there's an ex-Biden spokesman who I guess got interviewed by, uh,

00:53:18.580 James Comer and his, his, uh, congressional staff or his congressional, what would you call it? A group.

00:53:27.620 And, uh, let's see, who was it? It was Ian Sands, who was described as one of former, uh, Joe Biden's,

00:53:37.860 President Joe Biden's staunchest defenders and sort of a, uh, spokesperson for the White House.

00:53:44.740 And what we found out as a staunchest defender and spokesperson type for the White House only ever had

00:53:53.860 contact with Biden twice while Biden was in office. So one of the voices that we were listening to,

00:54:02.740 uh, as if it were, you know, Biden talking because they were talking for him was somebody who has only

00:54:08.340 ever talked to Biden twice. Um, I feel like there's some kind of norm that got violated there,

00:54:16.820 if you know what I mean. But it's not as bad as you think, because even though, uh, Ian Sands never,

00:54:24.500 except for two times, talked to Biden. Um, but he did on a regular basis meet with AutoPen

00:54:31.140 and he, he would, uh, every day he'd get a new list of instructions from the AutoPen.

00:54:37.220 Oh, okay. All right. All right. I'll do that.

00:54:42.660 That's right. AutoPen was running the country.

00:54:48.500 So the other big problem with the, uh, Democrats is that they're bleeding cash.

00:54:54.100 And, uh, apparently the rich donors are sewing their pockets shut.

00:55:02.020 If you were, if you were smart enough to be a billionaire, because you'd have to be pretty smart

00:55:07.540 to make a billion dollars. If you were smart enough to be a billionaire and you were a Democrat donor,

00:55:14.420 would you be giving money right now? Because what would you be funding exactly?

00:55:20.500 And who would you be funding? There's nobody to fund. It just looks like the Democrat party is in full

00:55:30.020 collapse. And if you put more money in it, I don't think you could breathe life into it.

00:55:35.460 And it's not like any of these candidates are setting the world on fire.

00:55:42.020 So I think the Democrats are going to have a continuing money problem until they come up with

00:55:47.940 a candidate who looks like they could win. And they don't seem close to that, in my opinion.

00:55:56.340 And it makes me wonder if all these smart, rich people have already

00:56:00.260 gone to the Republican side or become independent. I don't know.

00:56:03.460 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners, I started wondering,

00:56:09.140 is every fabulous item I see from winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. 1.00

00:56:14.900 Are those from winners? Ooh, are those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that leather

00:56:20.820 tote? Or that cashmere sweater? Or those knee-high boots? That dress? That jacket? Those shoes? Is

00:56:26.740 anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners. Find fabulous for less.

00:56:33.620 Well, this morning, John Bolton, who would be a Republican, his home was raided by the FBI.

00:56:43.540 Now, we don't know the reason, but everybody's speculating it has something to do with some

00:56:50.260 possession of classified documents. Now, I guess he was accused of that under the Biden administration,

00:56:56.340 investigation. And there was some movement toward acting on it, but they got canceled. So there's a lot of details in the

00:57:05.300 story we don't know. And we don't know if it's about classified documents, but he wasn't home.

00:57:10.660 And he's not been arrested, as far as we know. So we don't know what that's all about yet. But Kash Patel

00:57:19.700 did post on X at about the time this was going on, that no one is above the law. And then Dan Bongino

00:57:27.940 added to that by saying, public corruption will not be tolerated. So are they talking about

00:57:34.820 Bolton being publicly corrupt? Well, here's what I say. They gave him some classified documents,

00:57:47.140 and he probably said to himself, I must stash these in my house. Must stash them.

00:57:56.340 Dad joke. Yep. Dad joke of the day. All right. So I guess prosecutors are going to be looking at

00:58:10.980 Comey and his chief of staff for some leaking and Senator Adam Schiff for some leaking. I've got a

00:58:19.620 feeling that none of these important people are going to go to jail. What do you think?

00:58:28.340 I feel like they're all going to beat it on a technicality, or they're going to drag it out, or

00:58:35.060 they'll drag it until a Democrat gets elected again, however long that takes, and then they'll get

00:58:40.660 pardoned. I just, I don't believe that our system can put a prominent Democrat in jail.

00:58:49.700 I don't think it can. Now, it was hard enough to put Trump in jail. They tried everything they could,

00:58:55.860 and that didn't work. But even where the evidence is clear, and they've got documentation, and they've

00:59:03.620 got witnesses, and it's obviously a crime, even in those cases, I'm not really expecting anybody to go

00:59:10.660 to jail. They should. I mean, the crimes are some of the worst things that I've ever seen

00:59:16.740 that don't involve violence. But I just have no confidence that it'll end in any kind of conviction.

00:59:28.180 Trump has weighed in on the case of Tina Peters, who was apparently convicted for 2020 election

00:59:37.700 interference, or let's say that was the domain. But what she did was, I guess she had some doubts about

00:59:45.780 the integrity of the election in Colorado, and gave somebody access to some classified stuff

00:59:55.380 to see if the election was rigged. So her intention was to make sure that the election was fair.

01:00:05.700 What she did was technically a crime. She gave access to somebody who should not have had that access.

01:00:13.860 But Trump, of course, wants to further the story that the elections were questionable.

01:00:21.700 And so that would make Tina Peters sort of the hero of the moment, because it would look like she's 0.99

01:00:29.860 being punished for something that you could imagine that maybe even it being illegal, that she wouldn't

01:00:38.660 have gone to jail for it. Because her intention was to make things better, not worse. And that matters.

01:00:46.180 I mean, this should matter a lot. So I don't think Trump has the power to partner for anything,

01:00:52.020 because it's probably his state charges. But he's weighed in with free Tina Peters,

01:00:58.180 brave and innocent patriot who's been tortured by crooked Colorado politicians, including the big mail-in

01:01:04.580 ballot supporting the governor of the state. Let Tina Peters in jail right now. Now, I think he means it,

01:01:12.740 and it's compatible with all the things that he's saying about getting rid of election machines and

01:01:18.580 no mail-in voting. So it works really well with the message he's trying to get across. We'll see.

01:01:28.980 Anyway, so she was guilty on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant.

01:01:35.060 First degree official of misconduct, violation of duty. None of those sound terribly important,

01:01:41.620 do they, in this context? It just doesn't feel like she should be losing her freedom.

01:01:50.100 So she has suspicions about Dominion voting systems. Now, you know, Dominion has been pretty,

01:01:56.500 pretty tough in their legal pursuits of people who said things they didn't like. So that's probably a

01:02:05.460 big part of the story, that Dominion is part of it. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, there was no

01:02:12.020 evidence that anything was rigged, but that's a secondary question. Remember I keep telling you

01:02:21.300 that big companies are going to lie and say that they used AI to cut staff, but really probably they

01:02:27.620 just wanted to cut staff and AI had nothing to do with it? Well, Australia's biggest bank was all

01:02:34.420 bragging about using AI so that they could get rid of a whole bunch of, I think it was their workers who

01:02:42.180 take phone calls. And it didn't work out. So now they're looking to hire back all those people they

01:02:51.060 fired. I told you the big companies are all going to pretend that AI saves them staffing costs and

01:03:00.260 it's not going to work out. And they're going to have to reverse it and say, well, okay, maybe we need

01:03:06.740 these humans after all. So biggest bank in Australia already doing the Dilbert dance on that.

01:03:14.500 According to Fox News, some of Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, one of his top advisors is charged in

01:03:28.340 bribery and some other people charged with bribery. And in other cities, some local officials charged with

01:03:35.620 various crimes. I'll say it as many times as it takes. Local governments are basically

01:03:44.260 criminal organizations. They don't start out that way, but eventually somebody is going to get in

01:03:50.900 those jobs who realizes, wait a minute, I have got access I could sell. Hey, wait a minute. I get to

01:03:59.540 determine who wins this bid. And next thing you know, the people who are not overpaid to be in those jobs,

01:04:07.620 suddenly they're doing great. So something has to be done to keep an eye on where the money goes

01:04:16.020 with these various politicians. The local cities are 100% corrupt. I don't think there's any way to save

01:04:25.220 them unless you have some kind of auditor or, you know, some kind of untouchable who's just watching

01:04:32.100 every dollar so that they can't rip us off like crazy. What's that?

01:04:40.980 I have to look at this comment. All right. I can't read it. It's too small.

01:04:48.180 Well, update on Gaza. And according to Ynet, the Israeli Defense Force is going to start demolishing

01:04:56.820 multiple structures, you know, big buildings in Gaza City, including tall buildings. And they're

01:05:03.540 just going to use explosives and just blow them up. Now, I heard separately that the reason they have

01:05:10.260 to blow up basically every single building in Gaza is because they're all booby trapped.

01:05:17.220 So Hamas has booby traps. So if the building is still standing, you can't really trust it because 0.73

01:05:24.100 there might be who knows what in there. So the IDF is using that explanation for why they can just

01:05:32.100 blow up the building. I'm going to add my own cynical speculation. Since we know that Israel wants to, 0.97

01:05:40.820 you know, completely change the power structure and the population and the whole city, everything about

01:05:48.180 it, it probably makes sense to get rid of every big building. Because then you don't have people

01:05:54.260 saying, all right, but you're going to let me back in my building, right? I own that building.

01:06:00.740 You're going to let me rent it to people, right? Because that would have been a problem.

01:06:06.340 So I think it's sort of a probably a convenient explanation that some of them or most of them

01:06:13.220 are booby trapped because I think they wanted to get rid of all of them. If you get rid of all of

01:06:18.660 them, then you can kind of do what needs to be done or what you think needs to be done. And again,

01:06:24.900 I'm not giving you my opinion of what is ethical or moral or what they should do or who's the good

01:06:31.060 guy or who's the bad guy. I don't get into that at all when it comes to Israel because it's not my 0.82

01:06:38.260 country. And I simply observe that they're doing things that they think are in their national best

01:06:45.220 interest, just like everybody else. The fact that you don't like it, and sometimes I don't like it,

01:06:54.740 but we don't have any control over it. It's not our country. And we would note that every country,

01:07:01.620 every time in history does what's good for their own country. The big exception has been the United

01:07:11.700 States. You could argue Europe lately, in which we've acted in a way that clearly in the past,

01:07:19.380 recent past, clearly was not in the best interest of the United States, like open borders and stuff.

01:07:25.300 But if you look at a country like Israel and you see that even if you don't like what they're doing,

01:07:32.020 even if you could make an argument that is evil and unethical and immoral and that the victims,

01:07:38.580 especially the children, you know, it's unconscionable, you could make that argument,

01:07:44.180 but I wouldn't care. I mean, I wouldn't care about the argument. I would care about the human beings,

01:07:51.620 but I wouldn't care about your thoughts about it because nothing's going to change the fact that

01:07:57.860 Israel will pursue its national best interest. And we've got a close national connection with them.

01:08:06.180 Again, you could argue that we shouldn't, but we do. So we can observe what's happening

01:08:11.860 and you can complain about the loss of life and that's fair, but there's nothing we can do about it.

01:08:20.500 So I'm an observer when it comes to Israel. So don't ask me to defend them and don't ask me to condemn them.

01:08:30.420 I'm just watching. And if the situation were reversed and Hamas had all the power and all the military, 0.91

01:08:39.460 things would be going really poorly for the Jewish people living in the area.

01:08:44.420 So I don't feel like there's good guys. If I thought there was a good team and a bad team,

01:08:53.540 or that it was, it was up to me to decide who's good or bad. I guess that's a better way to say it.

01:08:58.020 It's not up to me to decide. It just seems whoever has the power

01:09:03.220 versus what they see as their national best interest. And that's all there is there.

01:09:08.340 All right. With that, ladies and gentlemen, is all I had to talk about today.

01:09:16.660 I'm going to talk to my beloved subscribers on Locals privately and in 30 seconds. And

01:09:27.700 I've enjoyed having my cat in my lap for the last part of this show. I have to admit,

01:09:34.100 it just makes everything better to have a cat in your lap. If you've not experienced the good feeling

01:09:42.180 of having a cat seem to be really happy about being with you, you really have to.

01:09:49.620 It feels more special when you get a cat to like you. You know, dogs are too easy. But you get a cat who

01:09:56.580 just really wants to be with you wherever you are. That is a cool feeling. So this is Gary the cat.

01:10:07.060 His brother Roman doesn't like as much attention, but he's an awesome cat also. All right. In 30 seconds or so,

01:10:17.620 locals, you'll be with me privately. Everybody else will see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

01:10:26.580 Sure.

01:10:27.220 It's all right.

01:10:56.580 Thank you.

01:11:26.580 Thank you.

01:11:56.580 Thank you.

01:12:26.580 Thank you.
