I'm in happy Tuesday grab a seat grab a beverage we're getting ready to give you
00:00:07.200
the show you deserve I know you deserve it because you've been good let me make
00:00:14.280
sure I can see your comments here because that's important come on come on
00:00:31.080
technology you can do it yes you can perfect good morning everybody and
00:00:42.660
welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with
00:00:46.520
Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a
00:00:50.820
chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand
00:00:55.500
with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that is a cup or mugger a
00:01:01.940
glass of tanker shells a stein a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it
00:01:06.760
with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled
00:01:12.300
pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's
00:01:15.660
called the simultaneous sip and it happens guess when now
00:01:28.460
sublime well what do you think my new habit of reading you a new reframe from my
00:01:36.440
book every morning do we like that you want another one all right all right all
00:01:44.660
right I'll give you one here's the one I find very helpful you'll find this
00:01:53.540
helpful and keeping your mental health stable the usual frame if you're debating
00:01:59.840
somebody is that one of you is right and the other one is wrong and they usually
00:02:04.760
think you're right and the other person is wrong right and then you've got to fight
00:02:08.120
so what would be a good reframe instead of one person's right one person's wrong the
00:02:15.080
answer is we're watching two different movies on one screen that really helps if you say to
00:02:22.580
somebody I'm right you're wrong well now you have a fight if you say we're watching two
00:02:28.280
different movies on the same screen then suddenly curious what do you mean by that well I'm looking
00:02:34.520
at different information if you and I were looking at the same information we'd probably have a similar
00:02:40.840
opinion and that that calms everybody down because you take it away from the two of you and who's right
00:02:47.640
and who's wrong and you basically blame the you blame social media and the news for giving you two
00:02:53.880
different versions of reality so that is your reframe for the morning
00:03:02.280
by the way uh jay plebman who's been doing a great job of clipping my show does a clip on there
00:03:09.640
this morning for my reframe you might remember the one called get out where it's a solution to having
00:03:16.920
negative thoughts if you're trying to get rid of your negative thoughts that's the whole technique
00:03:22.200
basically you you can look at the you probably should look at the video but all you do is when
00:03:28.680
those thoughts come in you just say get out get out like you're talking to your own brain and you
00:03:34.920
just say get out get out get rid of that get out and you'll be amazed that it works look at all the
00:03:41.400
people in the comments who have already tried it yeah it's if you ask me why it works i'm not sure i
00:03:48.200
could tell you but experientially it works works for me and a bunch of other people have tried it
00:03:56.200
and they say it works too all right i wonder if there's any science news that they didn't need
00:04:01.720
to do because they could have just asked me and saved some time and money oh here's one would you
00:04:06.360
believe that the swinburne university of technology has discovered that using psychedelics psychedelics to
00:04:13.400
treat depression produces promising findings how many times now have i read a new story about a new
00:04:20.760
study that finds exactly the same thing every time uh every time we use psychedelics for people's mental
00:04:27.960
health no matter what else we do it always works this is another one of those no matter what else you do
00:04:37.160
it doesn't matter it doesn't seem to matter how much they give you it doesn't matter if you're adding
00:04:44.040
therapy to it it doesn't seem to matter how many times you do it because it works kind of right away
00:04:51.160
uh it just keeps working so they kind of just asked me scott do you think that'll help yes yes
00:04:58.520
well yesterday i went viral for at least three or four different reasons it was a weird day every
00:05:07.640
time i turned on x i would see i would see myself now part of that is because uh jay's been clipping
00:05:14.120
me really well and also jason cohen um he's been clipping me and i think a few other people started clipping
00:05:21.160
me and that's caused a lot of action so what so one of the viral clips was my reframe
00:05:28.440
on how to be uh not have social anxiety if you go to a gathering boy did people like that one
00:05:35.720
you should see the numbers on that people were crazy for it and uh people were touched apparently
00:05:43.320
um by my video in yesterday in which i was talking about how all of us trump supporters um
00:05:51.800
who sacrificed because i think everybody was feeling it and sometimes you just need somebody
00:05:58.840
to put it into words and that's what i do so you were all feeling that yesterday felt like vindication
00:06:05.480
right if you sacrificed everything like many of us did our friends our jobs our reputations our family
00:06:15.800
and then it pays off and you realize that even your worst critics are looking at what trump did and
00:06:24.360
they're all saying some version of this no one else could have done it that's the magic words because if
00:06:33.080
someone else could have done it then why are you putting up with all the the the baggage that comes with
00:06:39.480
having the trump president the entire point of trump from my perspective from day one day one is that
00:06:48.760
he would be you've heard me say this an expensive president meaning that he's going to come with some
00:06:55.320
expense he's not free but you will get with him things you can't get with any other president that he
00:07:02.680
will simply be able to do things that nobody could do just no president and nobody just nobody he has
00:07:09.960
those unique skills partly because of his current place in the world it's not entirely his skill stack
00:07:17.720
it's also a result of everything he's done to get in this position
00:07:22.680
but once you see him doing things that other presidents definitely couldn't do
00:07:27.080
and they're really really important that's vindication that that's what we saw on day one
00:07:35.560
that the supporters we saw it early some people saw it because i told you to see it and i helped you
00:07:40.280
see it but you remember what i said from the very beginning did i ever say this man has the best
00:07:48.600
character you've ever seen nope never said that did i did i say he has the most government experience
00:07:59.480
you've ever seen nope nope i never said that what did i say what i did say is that i know a little bit
00:08:07.800
about persuasion and i've never seen anybody as persuasive as this person and i per and i predicted
00:08:16.600
that his persuasion ability would be the defining characteristic how did i do remember that was a
00:08:24.600
that was a day one prediction which i never i never backed off from now he's the most persuasive person
00:08:32.360
you we've ever seen we've never seen this you know you'll see other persuasive people but you'll
00:08:38.760
never see this again this might be one off so nailed it and that became kind of viral and then just
00:08:46.360
by coincidence every few months somebody sends around my how to be a better writer post blog
00:08:52.760
post from i don't know 20 years ago at this point but uh and then people are raving about the uh the
00:09:00.600
advice on how to be a better writer teaches you how to be a let's say an economical writer which works
00:09:07.480
for most things so it was a weird day for me i was just sort of multiviral on all these different
00:09:13.640
topics that was fun um cabal harris was giving a talk yesterday i guess and uh she reminded us that
00:09:23.480
columbus day uh was when the european explorers ushered in a wave of devastation violence stealing land and
00:09:31.640
disease that's why she had to say about one of our most beloved national uh yeah oh the cats are going
00:09:42.040
crazy behind me one of our most uh beloved national uh holidays now i totally get it's not like i don't
00:09:50.360
understand that columbus by modern standards and maybe even by maybe even by his standards was a bad man
00:09:58.200
but here's the thing if that's what's activating your description of him you don't understand what
00:10:06.600
it means to be a president if you're a leader in this country then you should be talking about our
00:10:13.560
history in maybe not so starkly accurate ways but rather in ways that make children want to be americans
00:10:24.360
if your goal is to have a strong country should you say you know your heroes are actually you know
00:10:31.000
terrible criminal bastards and you shouldn't you shouldn't uh respect them what will that buy you
00:10:38.280
that's not buying you anything it might be true i'm not even going to argue whether it was true or false
00:10:44.280
but it's the wrong move instead you should say george washington was a hero
00:10:50.280
christopher columbus you know was a great discoverer explorer and then you you you make those uh
00:11:00.120
those qualities something that children would want and then the children think oh if my heroes are
00:11:06.600
acting that way then i can act that way too so kamala harris doesn't understand really the most basic
00:11:15.000
element of her job her job is not to give us all the truth all the time that's not her job now her job
00:11:25.640
if she were president her job would be to make the country stronger and safer and more prosperous
00:11:32.840
to do that you might need to you know brainwash the children into you know some hero worship that's
00:11:40.040
not entirely based on reality because the hero worship never is nobody's heroes there's nobody's heroes
00:11:47.000
anywhere who are as good as you know the reputation so the fact that harris doesn't understand that or
00:11:54.440
doesn't care because the main thing is to say bad things about white men which i think is at least part of
00:12:01.080
the problem that she needs to you know never back a white man basically um so there's that anyway she is so dumb
00:12:13.720
well according to joe wilkins writing for futurism open ai has said that it's gonna um loosen up and allow
00:12:21.800
more smut more porn uh on open ai now i assume that means things like the the chat voice will
00:12:31.000
say dirty things if you tell it to and you you have to prove you're a certain age so that won't take
00:12:36.760
i guess that won't take effect until they can do more effective age um checking so it's not there yet
00:12:44.600
but they're gonna do it and i saw um i saw uh blanking out uh the head of open ai sam allman he was
00:12:56.760
talking about i think it was a different topic but it relates to this he was talking about how if you
00:13:02.600
know that ai is going to do a thing and there's no stopping it um in this case ai is definitely going
00:13:09.800
to be doing porn right everybody knows that and it's definitely going to be doing porn where it
00:13:15.800
pretends that somebody you know is in the you know in the porn scene maybe even with you so you know that's
00:13:22.920
going to happen and it doesn't mean you're going to use open ai to do it but there will be a bunch of
00:13:28.600
as sam points out there'll be a bunch of open source free models of ai you know that might not
00:13:35.160
be just as good as the the ones you pay for but um it'll be good enough that it can create you know
00:13:43.240
endless porn that you just want on demand and what sam said is if you know something's coming and there's
00:13:50.200
no way to stop it and i think this falls into that category pretty well um that you should
00:13:57.800
you should first restrict it and people will do it anyway and then you'll learn something but you
00:14:04.120
won't have gone too far because you're still restricting it but at some point you have to
00:14:10.280
inoculate the public i think he used that word inoculate in other words the only thing you could
00:14:16.360
do is let it out you just don't want to let it out without a little bit of thinking about
00:14:23.080
you know how fast you do it and so it's basically about getting people used to it
00:14:28.200
if you can get people used to it and bored by it it might not even be a problem i was trying to think
00:14:35.560
you know at the moment because i have the prostate cancer i don't have i don't have normal like sexual
00:14:42.040
thoughts because the first thing they do is give you a drug that takes all that away so i'm basically
00:14:47.480
a walking eunuch so when i look at this i don't have any way to appreciate whether i would have
00:14:54.040
wanted to use it for porn if i had any interest in porn which i don't um but but when i think about it
00:15:04.280
i think you know i probably you know let's say i were a you know younger a hornier man i'd probably
00:15:11.160
try it you know i'd probably say hey make me a make me a scene with these two people in it and then i
00:15:18.440
would be mildly amused maybe i'd do it again but somewhere around the third or fifth time i i had to
00:15:26.760
tell the porn what to do and then i didn't quite do it and i had to tell it again it was start feeling
00:15:32.680
like work you know what i mean i'm not sure that it really presents a possibility of enjoying it in
00:15:42.280
the long term short term probably i'd give it a try you know a lot of men would long term i don't feel
00:15:50.760
like it would i feel like it would be the same problem with the art that if you know they're not
00:15:55.720
real people you you can't really get past this that's what i think so i think uh yeah as as weird
00:16:04.520
as this sounds i think that the ai will have to the ai companies will have to loosen up and let you do
00:16:11.480
whatever you want but i do like sam's idea of rolling it out and inoculating people a little bit
00:16:17.880
before they get the full thing did you see the time magazine photo of trump so time magazine i believe
00:16:27.480
is owned by mark benioff the founder ceo of salesforce who is a very left um but in in an honest way i'm very
00:16:38.520
pro benioff as a both as an entrepreneur and as a uh a good influence on the world i don't agree with
00:16:48.200
everything he would do of course but you know that's just that's just the basic thing you say
00:16:52.600
about everybody but he owns i believe he owns time magazine now and uh it was a very unflattering
00:16:58.760
picture of trump and they really have to work on it so they did a sort of a ground up picture so that
00:17:05.480
you see him from the the chin first and you can't make out much of his face it's really unflattering
00:17:13.720
it's so unflattering that i don't for a second think it isn't intentional you know what i mean i
00:17:21.400
always talk about the uh the photo editor because there's usually an editor who does the photos
00:17:26.360
specifically the photo editor obviously just doesn't like him and it's surprising that they let that go
00:17:34.120
through because it's so obviously a biased photograph even trump called it out and said it's the worst
00:17:41.240
photograph i've ever seen it is actually literally the worst photograph i've ever seen of a public figure
00:17:50.440
it's literally the worst it doesn't look accidental at all it looks like it looks like
00:17:56.200
they couldn't say anything bad about him because he had such a successful day
00:18:00.040
but they they could but they could put a picture there that made you go oh well what's going on there
00:18:08.680
well the stocks have pulled back as you know uh also based on the u.s china trade tensions we don't know
00:18:16.120
what's going on there but china is certainly not in the mood to be pushed around so uh here's one of the
00:18:25.400
things that trump has to navigate i heard from somebody smart who spent a lot of time in the
00:18:31.240
middle east that one of the reasons that trump is succeeding in the middle east is that he's a strong
00:18:36.840
man and that the middle east really likes a strong man you know the the arab cultures etc and so the the
00:18:44.840
stronger more i don't know authoritarian let's say that trump acts in the middle east the more people
00:18:53.720
respect him and then that works to his favor but i don't think that works in china i think china does
00:19:00.920
not want to see uh trump being the strong man because that that makes them look like they're
00:19:06.280
being bullied and they want to say face and that just seems way more important over there so if trump
00:19:13.720
does the you know i'm going to bully you into doing something you can sort of see why it might work in
00:19:20.360
the middle east but you know it's to be determined that it can work with uh trade policy but trump is
00:19:29.400
smart enough and flexible enough to know that he reads the room like nobody can read the room so he
00:19:34.680
obviously knows that that he has to he has to play nice with president xi but also be tough so he's got
00:19:43.560
this delicate balance where they're an enemy but a customer they're an enemy but a supplier uh if you
00:19:50.920
go too hard they'll you know they'll go too hard so we'll see what he does on that it's going to be a
00:19:57.320
tough one but the stocks are pulled back just on uncertainty i guess uh beijing didn't like the fact that
00:20:06.600
the u.s is working with some some there's a u.s subsidiary of a south korean shipbuilding giant
00:20:13.560
and now beijing is saying that they won't work with that company uh scott basant treasury secretary
00:20:21.480
he told the financial times that china is in the middle of a recession depression and they want to
00:20:27.800
pull everybody else down with them well i don't know about the wanting to pull everybody else down with
00:20:32.760
them that just sounds more like politics but uh are they i i don't know how we would ever know if
00:20:42.040
china was in a recession or depression would we i saw somebody writing that um that that one child
00:20:50.360
thing looks like the depopulation would be a terrible problem and apparently there are a bunch of
00:20:56.200
young people who don't have jobs but here's the thing apparently they don't want them
00:21:01.320
because if you're if you're one child and your parents did okay you know they they've got a nice
00:21:08.200
job uh the cost of living in china is so reasonable that you can live at home with your parents
00:21:15.960
probably be a benefit to them you know because you can do stuff and the parents might actually like
00:21:21.560
it there's only one of you they only got to have one kid maybe they want to spend time with you
00:21:26.600
so it turns out that uh china was way more flexible in trying to figure out how to get past this
00:21:36.040
population problem than we imagined and one of the one of the flexes might be that young people
00:21:42.200
living at home might be fine with everybody they might actually just prefer it so that would allow
00:21:49.000
them to have far fewer people employed and yet everybody still be happy because their parents
00:21:56.120
would just feed them and they don't need anything else
00:22:00.520
here's something you never would have guessed i certainly wouldn't have according to wall street
00:22:04.440
journal the new york city office market is super hot right now and it's booming more than it has in
00:22:10.680
decades did anybody see that coming i i thought the real estate the at least the commercial real estate
00:22:18.760
in uh in new york city was just collapsing and that it might not even come back it already came back
00:22:27.400
but this is not happening in other cities it seems to be unique to new york city but the there's big
00:22:33.320
companies they're they're leasing they're snapping up property and uh new york city looks like it'll be
00:22:40.440
fine of all things how many of you would have guessed that the new york city office market would not just be
00:22:49.480
okay but would be better than it has in decades like right now i'll bet not one of you would have guessed
00:22:56.360
that that this is why it seemed absurd to me when i was getting my degree in economics because i thought
00:23:03.800
you know i don't think anybody can predict anything so what exactly is the point of economics if you
00:23:10.360
can't predict anything ever all right i'm exaggerating a little bit there but the my guess is that the
00:23:19.640
the reason that new york city is doing well and the other cities have not matched this kind of
00:23:25.960
comeback is that the biggest companies know they need a new york city um presence and so i think the
00:23:33.240
biggest companies are saying ooh cheap real estate let's lock it down now i think that's what's happening
00:23:39.320
i guess the most powerful rocket ever built was launched today successfully but what caught my attention
00:23:46.440
was that uh in succeeding allegedly it lowered the economics of rocket launches by showing that you
00:23:56.600
could do it and reuse all the parts it didn't blow up uh the cost of a launch dropped today just today
00:24:04.440
from 67 million dollars for a launch to 10 million under 10 million now if that keeps on you know because
00:24:15.560
the whole idea of a reusable rocket is to get the price way down that's 85 percent cheaper uh just
00:24:23.080
because elon musk crossed this economic barrier of success 85 percent i don't know how much farther it
00:24:38.200
well eric trump is crediting the law of positive thinking for trump's success in the middle east
00:24:44.120
um and you know he points out how other people were negative but his father was positive you know
00:24:49.640
i've said before that the power of positive thinking is the book um well actually the author
00:24:55.320
of that famous book was his uh pastor trump's pastor so on sundays he would be listening to literally the
00:25:03.320
guy who invented the idea of positive thinking you know being a being a positive um and then he years
00:25:11.400
later he employed it in the middle east he took the yes and said the no when when everybody was saying
00:25:17.560
yes we'll do a deal but you know no we haven't agreed and he took the yes and said the no positive
00:25:23.800
thinking and he changed reality as i've said before he didn't just negotiate that's not what happened he
00:25:32.760
changed how we looked at reality and then within that reality he could get what he wanted but he had to
00:25:38.200
change the reality first and the reality was that they had said no to the deal but they used the word
00:25:45.800
yes because they said yes but you know not this stuff and the and the but was actually the important
00:25:53.080
stuff so yeah he just changed how they saw reality and then they entered his reality and then they made a
00:26:00.520
deal but that wasn't negotiating that and that's what i mean when i say nobody else could do that
00:26:15.080
i will never be less impressed by that i'll never be less impressed
00:26:20.280
anyway uh biden is trying to take some credit for gaza uh he put out a statement that said in part
00:26:27.480
my administration worked relentlessly to bring the hostages home okay but they weren't home i commend
00:26:34.360
president trump and president trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over
00:26:38.360
the finish line renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line so he's trying to make it look like he
00:26:44.840
queued it up and uh all trump did is you know he just he just finished it off but nice try biden
00:26:53.480
all right how many of you watched with fascination uh trump meeting in egypt with all the the big
00:27:01.400
leaders of the middle east and a bunch of europeans as well and uh how many of you watch that that was
00:27:07.480
so interesting so trump got to do the trumpiest thing i've ever seen in my life he had unlimited time to
00:27:16.200
speak because he was you know getting a hero's reception and all the leaders were there and they
00:27:22.360
had to they had to sort of stand there just respecting and praising him because they didn't
00:27:28.840
have anything else to do and then he goes through his act where he tries to mention all the leaders
00:27:35.160
but he makes it really clear which ones he likes and which ones he doesn't like
00:27:40.840
and and and he's telling you like he loves erdogan because erdogan does whatever he you know he always
00:27:47.560
does a favor if he needs it and he says he likes strong leaders and and it just got funnier and funnier
00:27:54.360
but then he then he starts uh talking about the prime minister of italy of being an attractive young
00:28:00.440
woman and he's joking yeah you know you can lose your job if you call somebody attractive young woman but
00:28:06.040
i'm gonna take a chance and she she managed to brush that off i mean i i don't think that was what
00:28:13.080
she wanted to happen but she managed to to go with the flow she does seem to like it they do seem to have
00:28:19.160
a real relationship but then he's he's you know pumping hands with people and stuff but the best part is
00:28:25.160
that uh the uk prime minister starmer was right behind him so some of them were on the dais standing behind
00:28:33.080
him and uh it looked like he forgot the name of the leader starmer he turns around and he goes where's
00:28:41.960
the uk so so he he calls him by his you know country instead of his name uh and then starmer thinks that
00:28:49.640
he's been summoned over to say something because the uh the head of pakistan had just done a little
00:28:56.760
statement in which he was recommending trump to be a nobel prize winner so uh so starmer gets sort
00:29:05.160
of recognized and he comes up to the back of the the dais where trump is because he was already in
00:29:11.320
that neighborhood and it looked like he was waiting for trump to ask him to say a few words and trump
00:29:17.080
just turns his back on him and starts talking again and he has to slink back to standing in line
00:29:23.240
waiting for a trump it was the trumpiest thing of all time he just he just put him in his place
00:29:31.960
and so he makes them all listen to the pakistan guy uh say that he should have a you know he's the
00:29:38.600
greatest guy in the world he should have a nobel prize and they all just had to stand there like
00:29:43.400
idiots because none of them were able to get this done but trump did so anyway uh and the funny
00:29:53.160
thing was as he's going through the countries you know that there are some leaders he hasn't met
00:29:58.200
so you know like you'll give a big compliment to like mbs and erdogan and and others and he gets to
00:30:05.640
greece he's like where's greece ah there you are that's all that's all greece got but the funniest one
00:30:13.640
was he goes he's looking at his list of all the people who are attending he goes norway what the hell
00:30:19.800
happened to norway and he never explained and the news never explained what his problem with norway was
00:30:28.440
he's like well what the hell happened to norway
00:30:34.280
it was so funny because i still don't know what happened to norway or why he was mad at norway
00:30:40.520
the only thing i know which i i tell you all the time is that he makes the biggest distinction
00:30:47.240
between people who are making him happy erdogan and people who are not and i guess i guess norway
00:30:59.720
norway what the hell's wrong with norway and then that we saw caught on a hot mic the indonesian
00:31:07.400
president who is the president or something else but anyway the leader of uh indonesia which is the
00:31:14.680
biggest population of uh of uh muslims in the world was for some reason we don't know asking trump
00:31:22.920
if he could get an introduction to eric trump and i think he also said maybe don jr one or the other
00:31:30.280
what do you think that was about why would that be the one thing that the indonesian leader would
00:31:37.720
want to talk to trump about can you introduce me to your sons it's got to be crypto right isn't it
00:31:45.320
crypto i don't know what else it would be yeah anyway it's a mystery according to blaze media joseph
00:31:57.720
mckinnon is writing that uh the new polls are showing that uh trump is beating obama and bush at the same
00:32:04.280
time in their in their term so at the same same month number trump is more popular than obama was
00:32:12.920
and bush um doesn't mention biden so maybe he was more biden might have been more popular anyway so
00:32:21.640
he's he's outperforming his predecessors and then uh nate silver um
00:32:27.000
um says that uh trump is still more popular now than he was eight years ago so trump's popularity
00:32:36.680
is higher than it was eight years ago and better than his predecessors
00:32:42.280
yeah let's see um but his job approval was under 50 percent it's 45.3 according to one poll real
00:32:51.320
clear politics i think anyway um i'm fascinated by what the democrats are going to do when trump is
00:33:01.880
being so successful and they've got nothing going on so i sort of made a list of all the things that
00:33:07.240
they can do like what are they going to do what are they going to complain about now i mean half of
00:33:13.240
their energy was about uh this and just went away in the most satisfying way so um i'm fascinated that
00:33:23.160
they're uh that hitler did the peacemaking that nobody else could do and i have to explain why
00:33:29.960
they've been calling him hitler whereas the public now clearly sees trump as the peacemaker in chief
00:33:36.840
so their entire authoritarian hitler thing just turned into well okay we have to admit that trump
00:33:47.000
being trump is why this got done so even even being the authoritarian got this done you know i've been
00:33:55.080
saying for a while authoritarian that's not bad don't we want an authoritarian as long as they're on our side
00:34:02.520
and he's clearly on our side anyway so here are the democrats strategies that they have left
00:34:10.600
i guess they're going to have that no kings protest on the weekend so the no kings is to say that they
00:34:17.640
don't want anybody who's a authoritarian do you think that has the same spice and energy now as it did a week
00:34:24.920
ago because trump's like i said trump's a strong man authoritarian approach is exactly what got us these
00:34:35.720
these good results so they're going to have a whole demonstration against the thing that we all watched
00:34:42.360
work right in front of our eyes we all observed it working and they're going to have a whole demonstration
00:34:51.160
against the thing we all observed working which is trump bullying people that needed to be bullied
00:34:59.400
and uh so i think the whole no kings thing since it doesn't have an objective you know they just put
00:35:07.400
it in the category of see we're fighting trump can you see look how hard we're fighting him well what
00:35:14.600
exactly are you doing well we had some peaceful protests called no kings what exactly is that going
00:35:23.000
to do for anybody is that supposed to change trump's behavior because they had a they had a bunch of
00:35:31.240
people marching are these people who haven't watched the news lately they don't know that trump's doing a
00:35:36.520
good job what exactly would this accomplish so that's not going to accomplish anything it doesn't even have
00:35:42.520
an accomplishment built into it as an objective i don't believe there's any objective to it right
00:35:49.880
they don't say well once this no kings thing is done he'll he'll resign they're not saying that or once
00:35:57.320
we do this no kings thing that will change some laws they're not asking to change any laws what exactly
00:36:04.520
do they want it literally this is so obviously just a financial transaction clearly there's a business
00:36:13.480
model there are people who make money from from organizing these things so the people who make
00:36:19.480
money from organizing them is the reason it's happening it's not happening because it might work
00:36:26.440
i don't think there's one democrat who thinks this is going to work for what it's going to work for
00:36:36.360
to change what so clearly it has no uh the democrat party is so lost that there it looks like they're
00:36:47.480
just sort of the the dog getting wagged by the tail and the tail in this case is whoever makes money
00:36:54.280
organizing these events or whoever pays for them so yeah they're lost now of course they want to go
00:37:01.480
after the character of trump that would be one attack do you think that would work when he's the
00:37:07.400
number one peacemaking president of all time doesn't work so well does it that whole character thing
00:37:15.400
um they can say we're fighting trump but where's the fight what marching around but a bunch of senior
00:37:23.000
citizens marching around with signs that somebody gave them is that the fight good luck ontario

00:38:32.120
going to try to keep this the government closed and hope that trump gets blamed more well that's not
00:38:39.160
working apparently in terms of history and polls people kind of not blaming anybody
00:38:46.600
or blaming both sides or the public who is paying attention knows that the republicans have for a
00:38:53.160
long time now said we'll open the government you just sign this we've already signed it continuing
00:38:58.840
resolution we'll just keep it open it's the same same funding and then we'll work it out in a few weeks
00:39:05.240
just like the schedule says we should so i don't think the closing the government is going to work
00:39:10.760
for the democrats but they don't have anything else um what about will they complain about ukraine
00:39:17.800
well they might complain about ukraine but how do you complain when trump is giving them more weapons
00:39:24.600
potentially than they've had before tomahawks are being discussed and not putting any of our money into it
00:39:31.400
what exactly are you going to complain about because that would be fully supporting that would be
00:39:38.280
support for ukraine they like that there would be better weapons for ukraine maybe probably they like
00:39:44.120
that and not paying any of our money to buy those weapons but having europe pay for them how do you not
00:39:51.960
like that so they don't really have much to complain about with russia the gaza thing went away
00:39:57.560
um the government shutdown probably doesn't make a dent the no kings thing is is just empty calories
00:40:05.560
um what else how about uh if the democrats fight hard to not reduce crime in cities which they're also
00:40:14.360
doing so by resisting the the national guard and so far to the credit of the national guard they have not
00:40:22.280
created any incidents so it's not like there's some anecdote well that one national guard guy
00:40:29.240
got wild and hurt somebody but we don't hear that at all so as long as the crime is going down where
00:40:35.880
the national guard is deployed and it probably will um they don't have anything there either because the
00:40:41.800
public likes less crime every time they do a street interview and they're trying to get somebody to say
00:40:47.960
oh i don't like all these armed people in my city they say the opposite they say i feel safer it's
00:40:54.680
definitely safer um apparently according to rasmus and poll 52 of likely voters are actually supporting
00:41:03.800
using the national guard at ice facilities so that's a advantage to trump so they don't have that
00:41:10.120
and uh kristen welker was talking to uh vp vance and uh she was trying to do the thing that where she says
00:41:20.360
crime is down in both chicago and portland so why do you need the national guard if things are adding in the
00:41:27.240
right direction do you believe that crime is down in both chicago and portland well jd vance had a perfect answer to that
00:41:35.560
he said crime is down in chicago and portland often because they're so overwhelmed at the
00:41:40.920
local level that they're not even keeping the statistics properly now we have lots of data
00:41:48.520
to say that's true that they don't keep the they just lie about the data so it looks like the crime is
00:41:54.200
going down um so so they so if the democrats can't use gaza they can't really use ukraine they can't really
00:42:04.120
use you know the danger of the cities um the tariffs look like they might be working out
00:42:13.960
what's left i think all they have left is health care so i thought it'd be fun to um talk about a
00:42:21.000
few things that trump could do on health care maybe so this is just for fun and speculation okay
00:42:28.600
apparently speaker johnson says that the republicans do have some ideas for replacing obamacare or at
00:42:39.080
least replacing the extension to you know paying the extra obamacare stuff but he doesn't say what that
00:42:46.760
is so i wanted to give a few ideas what if now remember this is just brainstorming so i'm don't worry
00:42:57.480
if anything i say now sounds impractical this is brainstorming but what if trump said i'm going to
00:43:04.440
use the tariff revenue specifically to make health care stable what would they do then
00:43:15.480
because they can't complain about the tariffs because the tariffs would then be going directly
00:43:21.160
toward the thing they care about the most which is getting health care for everybody so i'm not going
00:43:27.960
to suggest um i'm not i'm not going to suggest that'll happen but isn't it a fundamental experiment
00:43:37.160
if trump said i'm going to use all the tariffs he won't do this but if he said i'm going to use the
00:43:42.440
tariffs for health care to you know plug the hole maybe only until we get to a negotiated better better
00:43:49.400
situation but what would they say it feels like it's a perfect plan because they couldn't really
00:43:57.960
they couldn't really debate it because they shouldn't complain about where the money comes from
00:44:05.160
you know and if they did the public wouldn't be able to follow the argument because they don't
00:44:09.160
really understand tariffs either here's another one what if trump did a executive order on price
00:44:16.280
transparency i don't know what that would look like but is my belief that consumers don't have
00:44:23.320
the option to shop intelligently for health care because they can't tell what anything costs
00:44:30.120
could the government say all right we're going to make the free market work better because you're
00:44:35.000
going to really have to say what your actual costs are and then people will be able to shop maybe it
00:44:41.000
would sound like it would make a difference you know before you tried it how about uh how about he
00:44:48.040
could make a bigger deal about um how taking illegal people off of the health care will be better for
00:44:56.680
for the people who are on health care that's a pretty strong argument um i don't know if you've
00:45:02.200
noticed this but i you you all know that i'm in the middle of a sort of a major health care situation
00:45:09.640
and it seems to me that my own health care provider is not nearly as capable as they were even one year
00:45:17.080
ago i feel like one year ago if i needed a procedure i could get it in two days and now it's like two weeks
00:45:24.600
weeks is that because of uh all the people who don't have health care who have health care
00:45:32.840
is that why i mean it feels like if i'm waiting there there was some new bunch of people who got
00:45:39.400
in front of me that wasn't just normal population growth so i don't know if you're is anybody having
00:45:45.480
that experience where it's taking you way longer to get a medical appointment i might be imagining it by
00:45:53.000
the way so i don't know that it's true but it feels like maybe maybe it's because it's life and death
00:45:57.960
so it seems like a bigger deal to me but yeah it could take a week or two to get a scan
00:46:05.320
so i i had to actually go to the emergency room so that i didn't have to wait so long to get a valuable
00:46:12.360
mri scan so if i go to the emergency room who am i competing with all the people who don't have health
00:46:19.880
care because they would go to the emergency room because the emergency room still has to take them
00:46:25.000
so i'm i'm sitting there with i don't know maybe half of the people didn't have health insurance and
00:46:30.600
i had to wait my turn not ideal here's another idea about uh about tasking the big ai companies
00:46:41.080
with creating a free version of health care now not free in terms of drugs that would be a separate
00:46:49.160
thing and not free in terms of hospital care but what if what if trump said all right here's my
00:46:56.280
executive order ai will be super disruptive to the country but we want to make sure that ai since
00:47:02.920
that's where all the profits are going to go to these ai companies that they would be in charge
00:47:07.320
basically of creating a free permanent health care portal that's ai so it doesn't have to be any
00:47:16.680
people it could be just a portal but but have one you know one of them that really is fact checked for
00:47:23.160
you know no hallucinating etc now would that work i don't know but it would sound like a republican plan
00:47:33.080
and that would be better than having no plan and then there's the uh rfk junior play which is to
00:47:40.360
to to uh act like your health care costs will go down if you've solved some of the healthy eating and
00:47:49.080
autism problems and you know i'm optimistic that rfk junior did in fact find out the main cause of
00:47:56.760
autism it might be circumcision and uh and tylenol it might be and uh if he did then we could reasonably
00:48:07.960
claim that you know all those costs for autism might go down a little bit not right away but over
00:48:14.040
time and so there might be some argument that says we're going to lower health care by getting rid of
00:48:20.040
these chronic health problems we're going to make it so that everybody has at least a free ai doctor
00:48:27.240
which we're very we're right at the crossover point where the ai doctor will be better than a regular
00:48:32.520
doctor not not quite there yet we're not there regular doctor is still better than an ai doctor
00:48:38.280
but we're very close so the executive order could just say you know get there fast
00:48:45.560
he could make a case that getting rid of the illegal people will lower your costs he could do a price
00:48:52.280
transparency thing and he could offer to use some but not all of the tariff revenue to plug the gap
00:48:59.560
now do any of those sound like they would at least sound good because remember the republicans have
00:49:06.920
two problems to solve one is health care but the other is how to get anybody on the other side to agree
00:49:15.000
to whatever it is you're proposing so you might have to take a sub-optimal
00:49:22.200
you know sub-optimal plan but you got to get one that you can get through
00:49:27.160
so would any of these things be hard to get through who's against price transparency
00:49:40.600
well according to leading report uh oregon democratic officials are reportedly set to allocate more than
00:49:48.120
twice as much funding for health care for illegal immigrants as for the state police
00:49:53.240
for fox news so that's how dire it is anyway let's talk about phase two of gaza do you think trump will
00:50:02.520
be successful there i think nobody wants to be the police in gaza it's too dangerous so good luck getting
00:50:09.960
even another arab country to step up to that and i don't think hamas has agreed to disarm so
00:50:17.560
i don't know how phase two is going to go but phase one looked impossible and trump got it done phase two
00:50:26.840
doesn't look nearly as impossible but really hard so we'll see if he gets this done
00:50:33.000
uh i always talk about a user on x called maze maz always has wonderful clips of things i don't know
00:50:43.640
how he finds things but he finds just the most on point old clips and when i say old i don't mean
00:50:49.720
old old but just you know ones that have been before um and he found clips of uh cnn's john king and
00:50:57.000
dana bash talking about trump and john king said that trump only cares about building hotels in gaza
00:51:05.400
what do you call that that's called mind reading if i if i've taught you one thing it's that when
00:51:13.480
people are doing mind reading they're not serious people because you can't read minds how would you how
00:51:19.960
would john king know that trump only cares about building hotels in gaza do you think that there's any
00:51:25.560
adult human being who only cares about one thing when there's so many variables in play you don't
00:51:31.320
think that trump wanted a nobel prize you don't think that just on humanitarian reasons he wanted
00:51:36.520
the killing to stop you don't think he wanted to be a good president you don't think he wanted to be
00:51:41.160
a good partner with israel what what the hell would you be thinking to imagine that trump is the only
00:51:47.560
person in the world who has one concern and it's about building a hotel in gaza which by the way would
00:51:53.480
be the very worst place you could ever put a freaking hotel may i give you some real estate advice if
00:52:00.520
you're thinking of investing in a resort or hotel in gaza don't do it that would be that would be freaking
00:52:08.520
crazy now it might not be crazy if you're a arab country uh a muslim country and you want to build a
00:52:16.520
hotel there it might not be a target but would you ever build a trump hotel and put it on the beach
00:52:23.480
no no that would last about five minutes that would be the number one terror uh terror target in the
00:52:30.920
world so for john king to imagine that trump only cares about building hotels in gaza
00:52:37.400
where does that come from let's that's just weird mind reading right and then dana bash said
00:52:44.440
talking to him at the same time she says people actually believe trump would end the war meaning gaza
00:52:50.360
uh and then she said trump doesn't understand the conflict what's that that's mind reading
00:52:58.360
how do you know what he doesn't understand how do you know you're the one who doesn't understand it
00:53:03.720
and now that he's essentially solved it would it be fair to say he understood everything he needed to
00:53:09.560
understand and there was something that you did not understand dana bash there's something you didn't
00:53:14.920
understand you didn't understand his skill set you didn't understand that he's not like other people
00:53:21.640
you didn't understand that he can sometimes do the thing that nobody else can do but you're you're
00:53:27.240
locked in your little mind-reading weird world where you think you can read his mind and because
00:53:33.560
democrats said there's something wrong in there that there's just you know a bunch of rats running
00:53:38.840
around in his head not so much turns out he's really really smart surprise he's really really smart
00:53:48.680
at this especially anyway here's something i may have been part of the cause do you remember there was
00:53:57.000
a photo that showed the texas national guard uh unit deploying uh and where was it
00:54:04.840
in chicago and uh people noted that the the service people the national guard troops looked a little
00:54:13.720
bit obese like all of them not just a few of them but all the ones in the picture look pretty poorly
00:54:22.200
and a lot of people pointed it out but i also pointed it out and uh i reposted the picture on x
00:54:28.680
with the following comment paging p hegseth now i assumed that the the secretary of war
00:54:39.080
is not following me on x right fair fair assumption that the guy who's in you know in
00:54:44.760
charge of our military probably doesn't follow me on x so so it's not like he's going to see my
00:54:50.120
post where i'm calling the national guard guys fat and then this morning i thought
00:54:55.560
maybe he follows me so i took a look turns out p hegseth does follow me
00:55:03.560
in his personal account not not his government account but he would have actually seen me and
00:55:09.000
other people mentioned that those guys are not those particular uh we appreciate their service of
00:55:16.200
course but their uh their physical fitness was not up to p hegseth's level and apparently he
00:55:24.840
acted on it he actually he actually pulled some of those guys out and i don't know what happens i
00:55:31.320
don't think they're out of the service i think they'll just have to lose some weight but uh i i feel a
00:55:38.360
little bit guilty just because i have a large account so when the large accounts you know make
00:55:45.800
some kind of a statement people do notice right so i'm kind of hoping that i'm not the reason that those
00:55:53.240
service people are getting i hope i'm not the it wasn't just me it was a lot of other people who
00:56:01.880
mentioned it too but i'm just worried because my account is bigger than theirs anyway um i saw a lot of
00:56:11.560
people jabbering about uh whether uh israel is the the tail wagon the dog or or whether trump has gotten
00:56:20.360
control of that situation and he's in control and you know who's in more control is netanyahu
00:56:26.360
controlling trump or is trump controlling netanyahu well at the moment it looks like trump has full
00:56:32.680
control of the situation but we also wonder about the uh the intel services massad versus the cia
00:56:41.560
so somebody asked john kiriyaku who you've probably seen on social media he's great he's an ex-cia
00:56:48.520
officer but he's off the reservation so he's talking honestly about what it was like being a ci agent and
00:56:55.800
he was the real type like he was deployed like he was doing the dirty stuff so he really knows
00:57:01.640
yeah he wasn't wasn't a desk jockey he was doing the real stuff so he knows and uh his statement uh he
00:57:09.000
goes uh to tell you the truth uh he was on some podcast i don't remember which one he said to tell
00:57:16.440
you the truth and please forgive my language in advance but i think historically the cia has been
00:57:21.480
mosad's bench that's really what it comes down to he said uh quote where over the course of my career
00:57:27.640
and certainly subsequently from that we've seen either leaked to the media or released to the media
00:57:32.520
we get nothing out of that liaison relationship and the israelis get everything out of that now
00:57:40.520
what's the first thing you need to know about the context of this story number one it's being told to
00:57:46.920
you by one guy whose job was to be a professional liar i'm not saying he's lying about this but if
00:57:55.240
you're an ex-cia officer is it not true that you were trained to lie whenever it made sense to lie
00:58:04.680
so uh he could john kiriyaku comes off as completely honest to me if i'm going to be a judge of a character
00:58:14.120
which is always you know sketchy none of us are that good but my judge of character is that he's
00:58:20.040
telling the truth and that that's his actual assessment but remember when you're only hearing
00:58:27.160
something from one source i'd want to hear it from somebody else yeah i'd want at least a few other
00:58:34.280
people say oh yeah that was that was our experience so i don't know i don't know how much difference it
00:58:39.800
makes either all right um so i saw a story yesterday that i could not for the life of me tell
00:58:48.360
if it was a new story it looks like just the old story then maybe something got added to so according
00:58:56.200
to jesse waters and and others um there's some new documents that got found about obama's involvement in
00:59:04.440
the steel dossier and the russia collusion hoax and that these new documents confirm for sure that obama
00:59:12.280
was the one behind uh the weaponization of the intelligence and the effort to remove uh trump even
00:59:21.000
after he got elected after he got elected so but i didn't i don't know what was new in the story
00:59:29.480
because i thought we already knew that obama is the one who ordered the the intel about uh trump and
00:59:37.080
russia to be redone to make it look like it was worse than it was didn't we already know that but i
00:59:46.280
guess there's some new document that that really confirms that now yeah so um we know that brennan
00:59:54.920
lied about the use of the steel dossier as one of the predicates if that's the right word for uh
01:00:01.400
for going after trump so we know that was fake we do know that the professionals working on the
01:00:08.440
assessment didn't think there was evidence of uh either that putin wanted trump or that he was doing
01:00:14.760
anything to make it happen so um but do we have something new and then i saw a reference to something
01:00:22.280
that i didn't see in the news i only saw on social media and it said that the uh was it the ex-head of
01:00:29.480
the fba ray give me a fact check on this i'm very uncertain about this but did he refer to uh biden as
01:00:37.800
a vegetable and said that they needed something to support the vegetable did that happen or was that just
01:00:46.680
a social media bs thing all right so give me a fact check on that will you all right uh so if that's
01:00:55.800
true it got completely lost by the bigger news from the middle east but do we now have everything that
01:01:03.560
we need to know that obama tried to overthrow the fairly elected president of the united states
01:01:09.640
and that all of their all of their projection on trump was very intentional projection to blame him
01:01:18.040
for what they were doing to him at that very moment which apparently is a good trick that they use a lot
01:01:35.560
did you lock the front door check close the garage door yep installed window sensors smoke sensors and
01:01:40.840
hd cameras with night vision no and you set up credit card transaction alerts a secure vpn for a
01:01:45.960

stress less about security choose security solutions from telus for peace of mind at home and online
01:01:58.120
visit telus.com total security to learn more conditions apply all right so michael cohen the ex uh fixer
01:02:08.440
lawyer guy for trump who even went to jail and uh is no no friend of trump's he says uh he says to the
01:02:17.480
msnbc panel he said this a few times but he said it again uh that letitia james and james comey will be
01:02:24.040
held accountable meaning that he thinks they'll be convicted do you believe that do you think that
01:02:29.160
letitia james and james comey will be held accountable or just tried and you know slapping
01:02:35.960
the wrist or you know suspended sentence or nothing i don't think they'll be held accountable i don't think
01:02:41.720
they'll be held accountable at all but cohen's argument is that the documents will speak for
01:02:47.880
themselves now that's not true what kind of lawyer is he in what world do documents ever speak for
01:02:56.840
themselves that's not even a thing documents don't speak for themselves if if the only thing that we had
01:03:03.880
to go on was the documents yeah yeah letitia james looks guilty as hell but that's not what a court case
01:03:10.680
is about a court case adds all the context suppose the context showed she didn't know she did it
01:03:19.640
i'm not saying that's the case suppose the concept the context showed that her let's say she had a
01:03:26.920
business manager or an accountant who just told her to do it and she didn't really look at it
01:03:33.240
that's sort of a defense if your professional did it and you trusted the professional that's actually a
01:03:39.960
defense but that context all matters so i don't for i don't for a minute believe that the documents
01:03:48.920
make the case i just don't think that works in general much less in this case and i don't think
01:03:54.440
that that does that even apply to comey are there documents that would put comey in or you need more
01:04:01.480
than that for comey right so i don't know how good a lawyer michael cohen is but i'm gonna i'm gonna put my
01:04:08.680
total non-lawyer experience up against his and say i'm not so sure i i guess i guess just the process
01:04:17.400
will you know be bad enough for the people going through it all right um here are some interesting
01:04:25.000
things from around the the world so the former intel ceo uh says we're in an ai bubble which we all
01:04:33.240
knew right you we all know we're in a bubble our economy wouldn't even be look good except for ai if
01:04:39.480
you only took ai out of the economy we'd already be in a recession so that's how important it is
01:04:46.520
but he says and this would match things i've been saying that the there's a risk but the new tech is
01:04:53.160
coming and he says it promises a hundred times better power efficiency for the same ai performance
01:05:01.160
what have i been telling you about this massive need for power for ai i've been telling you that
01:05:08.520
they're they're going to work work on that from two different directions one is building enormous city
01:05:15.800
size um you know processing centers that need power and uh the other will be figuring out how to not need
01:05:24.600
so much power and i was predicting that because the economic benefit of not using that much power
01:05:32.040
is trillions of dollars that that would get solved fairly quickly and it looks like uh ceo the former
01:05:40.760
ceo of intel is aware of some technology that would take that uh power cost down by a factor of 10.
01:05:48.760
uh jp morgan chase says they're going to invest 1.5 trillion dollars spread across 27 critical
01:05:58.920
industries in america so they're not talking about just making loans you know the banking job they're
01:06:05.000
talking about taking equity in 27 critical industries to to boost them yeah they're trying to boost those
01:06:12.200
industries now why are they doing that i've never heard of a bank do anything like that
01:06:17.320
that now part of it is the bank is making she had a ton of money the the earnings are coming out so
01:06:24.440
they're actually making really good earnings at a time when other people might be struggling
01:06:29.400
so it could be the jp morgan is looking ahead you know because they're smart right jb diamond's
01:06:36.360
super smart they might be looking ahead several years and knowing that you know as people lose
01:06:42.520
their jobs and maybe ai disrupts things that they need to be on the side of the angels so if they
01:06:49.640
can make sure that you know they're vital because they're not just a bank but they own equity and vital
01:06:56.040
industries and they're they're helping those vital industries that it might be that they just need
01:07:01.800
to reframe themselves as a company completely differently one of the problems if i were a bank the
01:07:08.280
thing i'd be worried about is that banks themselves could be completely replaced with ai somebody's
01:07:14.520
going to make an ai bank you can't do it now because they're hallucinating but if they solve the
01:07:19.400
hallucinations and you can just say all right you're a bank now go get the paperwork filled out i'll sign
01:07:27.560
it i don't know they could think that banking just won't be a business and so they need to have equity in
01:07:34.760
real business so i don't know what they're up to but it's probably more than one objective
01:07:41.560
um so katie porter or katie potato as you know is the democrat who is leading in the potential
01:07:51.400
governor race in uh in california but you probably saw the many videos of her acting uh very badly on
01:08:00.120
video and i guess uh um harry enton on cnn points out that her uh her odds of becoming governor plunged
01:08:09.160
from 40 percent down to 16 percent and uh fox news completely did that fox news just kept running those
01:08:20.200
those clips on a loop until everybody saw them you know eventually the cnn and mscbc they would all have to
01:08:28.680
do it because fox just made that a story so so it looks like her odds have gone way down but she's
01:08:37.000
still definitely in the mix and maybe still number one but i didn't realize that steve hilton actually
01:08:43.560
has a shot so steve hilton you all know him he's running as republican in the bluest state you could
01:08:50.520
imagine everybody assumes that no republican can get any purchase there's no way they can get close
01:08:57.480
because it's such a blue state but it looks like the competition is destroying itself and steve is
01:09:05.560
just sort of you know just being steve hilton and you know people know him from fox news so he's got
01:09:13.160
a built-in he's got a built-in base for people who've watched these shows on fox i don't think he's still
01:09:19.080
there does he still have his show on fox i don't know but he seems like a solid smart um
01:09:29.880
i think his intentions are in the right place he's republican enough he's pro-trump enough
01:09:35.000
so he meets he definitely meets all of the republican requirements which doesn't mean anything
01:09:41.160
right because you you know you have to win off of other people um so i asked grok does he have any
01:09:49.400
chance and it turns out he does and part of that is because of the way elections work in california
01:09:55.960
they have what's it called a uh jungle off or something has some name to it but basically uh the
01:10:03.960
first vote is for anybody who's running so it's not like a regular primary where you pick one person to
01:10:10.360
run the first vote is just for whoever and then they limit the real election to where we got the
01:10:17.160
top two votes jungle it's a jungle that's the word it's a jungle election or jungle jungle primary
01:10:27.880
is that what it's called yeah i think jungle isn't it anyway because there's only one strong republican
01:10:36.200
running uh if he gets more than 25 of the vote which is entirely possible he could be in the top two
01:10:43.800
now getting in the top two definitely doesn't help you win because like i said it's a blue state but
01:10:51.000
what if he gets in the top two against somebody who's just totally destroyed by clips or for for whatever
01:10:58.840
other reason so i think if steve can make that 25 which is not guaranteed and it's a stretch but i
01:11:09.640
feel like he might be able to do it especially because trump is doing so well now we'll have a
01:11:14.280
little bit of a coattail at least for a while but if if you can imagine steve hilton getting into the
01:11:23.000
position in the final two then it becomes a question of whether fox news can take out the other
01:11:29.320
competitor before cnn takes out steve i i don't know what if he has any baggage or anything i haven't
01:11:35.800
heard of any uh but i'm sure whoever he runs against is going to have a little baggage and fox news will
01:11:42.600
be all over that uh allegedly here's the scariest thing i love here from alex barnacote says this i
01:11:52.760
don't know if it's true but china is developing a nuclear tsunami bomb that could sink the entire uk
01:11:59.320
i guess the idea is they're working on a nuclear bomb specifically for triggering a tsunami so you can
01:12:06.680
destroy an entire island such as the uk is that scary yeah that's scary i don't know if it's true
01:12:15.640
might not be true but scary well a ford ceo was over in china recently did some tours of their auto
01:12:24.840
plants and stuff and came back i think this was in the telegraph and the ford ceo basically said we
01:12:30.920
can't compete with china that they're already so far ahead of us in making cars that we just have
01:12:36.600
to figure it out yet but the ford is not competitive and we don't have a way to be competitive
01:12:43.480
are you hearing that this is ceo of ford who walked through chinese factories a lot of them
01:12:50.520
are dark factories meaning they don't need lights because there's no human there it's all robots
01:12:55.720
and when he watched what china can do to build a car and he watched that china actually has more
01:13:01.480
more high-tech features in their car he didn't know how far china had come and he looked at it and said we
01:13:09.080
basically we can't catch up that they've already lapped us and our auto industry might just disappear
01:13:21.640
and that according to matt margulis pj media uh some of the big democrat states are already reducing
01:13:31.880
health care costs for illegal immigrants because they found out that they can't afford it so they
01:13:38.440
have to do it quietly since they're so pro-health care for everybody but apparently california and let's
01:13:45.480
see uh minnesota tim walls and prinsker and illinois have all rolled back or frozen medicaid programs
01:13:52.440
for illegal immigrants so they are quite aware that that there's a spending problem with that category
01:14:01.880
so apparently california loan spends 8.5 billion annually for medical for illegal residents
01:14:08.920
8.5 billion per year wow in other news chris wright energy secretary is going to announce
01:14:20.360
um maybe this week i guess uh the trump administration fusion roadmap oh today he's going to announce it at
01:14:28.840
a gathering of fusion so the fusion people as opposed to regular nuclear which is fission
01:14:34.760
fusion would be the no waste infinite energy you know the thing we've been waiting for for 40 years
01:14:42.600
but uh apparently we're underspending on fusion some say compared to what we do on regular fission
01:14:50.520
and they're looking to change that and have a road map to get us to fusion that's very good
01:14:56.440
it's good that that's happening um do you know about the system in ukraine for drones
01:15:04.760
you know as i've told you too many times the ukraine war is now a drone versus energy infrastructure
01:15:12.120
war it's you know they're also killing people but the people killing doesn't feel like it's the big
01:15:19.240
thing they gotta get the energy stuff that before winter looks like that's the big play but did you
01:15:26.520
know that ukraine came up with a uh a bonus point program where if you're if you're on the front lines
01:15:34.440
fighting with a drone and you use a drone to get a good kill you can submit that and you will be
01:15:41.640
first in line for new drone stuff so parts and replacement parts and bombs that go on drones
01:15:49.080
and everything so in other words they have a organized program where the people who are running the drones
01:15:57.560
can get more drones and more resources by being more successful with the ones they have now does
01:16:04.520
that seem like a good idea it really does it seems like an amazing idea because as i told you the other
01:16:11.560
day they're competing with russia that has a top-down system where the entrepreneurs don't really get any
01:16:18.520
benefit if they do something good so not only do they not make money but i don't think that they would get
01:16:25.880
extra drones just because they did a good job with the ones they had but ukraine seems to understand
01:16:32.520
human motivation better and i would totally try harder if i knew that if i got my kills and proved
01:16:40.680
it i could get a better drone and then i get a better kill then i get a better drone so it would
01:16:47.080
definitely motivate me and i would guess it motivates the ukrainians so if you were looking for
01:16:54.840
you know a long-term prediction of who's going to win in the drone on drone it does feel like ukraine
01:17:01.720
has an advantage they don't have a manpower advantage they don't have a missile advantage
01:17:08.120
they have a lot of disadvantages but in this one area of uh you know innovating with jones i feel like
01:17:16.280
they got the edge and maybe that's enough i don't know so they attacked the russian power hub again
01:17:22.200
uh the kiev post is reporting put it on fire i i feel like they're just nitpicking at this point
01:17:31.160
i wonder if there's a a really big attack that's being planned or if they don't have enough drones for
01:17:36.520
that yet but i've got a question why is the russian energy grid still sort of working
01:17:44.280
is it my imagination or have you not also heard that the the american uh electric grid you could
01:17:52.920
take out the entire grid in an afternoon if you wanted to am i wrong about that i i feel like i've
01:18:00.280
seen so many news stories that say oh our grid is so vulnerable and then they i'm not going to say why
01:18:07.640
because i don't need to put that out there but there are specific vulnerabilities which if you
01:18:13.640
knew how to attack them you could kind of take out the entire united states without a lot of work
01:18:19.720
why doesn't that work in russia does russia have some magically better technology or or are we really
01:18:28.760
not in that much risk maybe it's not as big a risk as i thought but didn't it seem to you that any
01:18:34.600
major country could take out the entire electrical grid of any other country really anytime they want
01:18:43.320
doesn't it seem to you that that's like a thing that anybody could do but they haven't they're just
01:18:49.720
picking these individual sites off and lights are still on in moscow so i guess i don't understand what's
01:18:57.960
what's preventing ukraine from doing better there all right ladies and gentlemen that's all i got for
01:19:02.600
today i hope that was satisfying it was for me and uh i'm going to say a few words privately to my
01:19:10.440

01:19:27.400

01:19:34.440

01:19:50.360
