00:00:00.000 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 0.97

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 0.92

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 1.00

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 0.87

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.97

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

00:24:31.640 can go but wow i'm pretty impressed

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

00:26:06.920 nobody else could do that he changed reality

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

00:30:55.160 wasn't making him happy for something

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 0.57

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 1.00

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 0.67

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 0.58

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

00:49:33.800 i'm seeing some things in the comments uh

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 1.00

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 1.00

01:01:25.080 so bet the kitty yeah

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 private connection and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web uh i'm looking into it

01:01:52.280 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 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.84

01:07:51.400 governor race in uh in california but you probably saw the many videos of her acting uh very badly on 1.00

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 0.83

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 0.96

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 1.00

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

01:13:14.840 except for elon

01:13:19.160 so who knows if that's uh real

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 0.99

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 0.88

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 beloved local subscribers and the rest of you i hope to see you tomorrow come back it's fun every day

01:19:19.880 all right 30 seconds will be private with locals no we won't that button is not working

01:19:27.400 so locals the uh go private button isn't working i don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes

01:19:34.440 it doesn't so i think we're i think we're done for today i hope you got enough in the pre-show

01:19:41.800 and everybody we'll see you tomorrow

01:19:50.360 oh i can't even end it i'm gonna have to get out of the get out of the app and get back in and to end it

01:19:57.720 wants you to see if that's pretty much for me no problem

01:20:00.680 right

01:20:02.760 so i'll we'll see you tomorrow

01:20:03.400 all right

01:20:07.560 um
