Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 3000 CWSA 10⧸26⧸25

00:00:00.000 Come on in.

00:00:02.040 It's almost time for the best thing that ever happened to you.

00:00:05.720 There's a seat up front.

00:00:08.100 It's good to see your smiling face.

00:00:10.840 Have you been to the gym lately?

00:00:12.760 You look marvelous.

00:00:15.160 Probably got a good night's sleep.

00:00:17.820 No?

00:00:18.800 Well, you look marvelous anyway.

00:00:21.620 Would you like to do a show?

00:00:23.840 Anybody?

00:00:25.240 All right.

00:00:26.840 Boop, boop, boop, boop, doo.

00:00:30.000 Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

00:00:35.200 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:40.140 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:00:44.080 But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels

00:00:48.740 that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:53.600 all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein,

00:00:58.560 and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:03.720 I like coffee.

00:01:05.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,

00:01:09.500 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:11.020 It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip.

00:01:14.640 It's going to happen right now.

00:01:16.480 Go.

00:01:25.040 Delicious.

00:01:26.800 You know what I need a little bit more of is focus on the local's comments on my second device.

00:01:34.920 And then we'll have something.

00:01:36.440 Well, as tradition requires,

00:01:38.540 I'll be reading you a reframe from my book,

00:01:43.420 the best book in the world,

00:01:45.660 Reframe Your Brain,

00:01:47.440 Changing People's Lives Everywhere, One Sentence at a Time.

00:01:52.620 So we've been doing one frame a day.

00:01:56.500 We'll actually get through the whole book,

00:01:58.880 if I survive.

00:02:01.560 All right.

00:02:02.320 We'll see how far we get.

00:02:03.300 Here we go.

00:02:13.000 We already did that one.

00:02:14.740 I want to pick the best one.

00:02:22.760 All right.

00:02:24.740 Here's one that's a little cynical,

00:02:26.640 but it's also really, really useful.

00:02:30.080 You ready for this?

00:02:31.020 The usual frame is that your hard work will be rewarded.

00:02:36.520 Do you think that's true?

00:02:38.800 Do you think it's true that people will notice if you're a hard worker

00:02:41.620 and they will reward you?

00:02:43.960 That's kind of true.

00:02:45.580 So the, you know, the normal frame,

00:02:49.140 true-ish,

00:02:50.640 they'll recognize your hard work and you'll be rewarded.

00:02:53.200 But here's a reframe that's better than that.

00:02:55.780 The illusion of hard work will be rewarded.

00:02:57.940 The illusion of hard work.

00:03:02.440 If you would just come in five minutes earlier than your boss,

00:03:06.980 your boss will have a greater illusion of how hard you work.

00:03:11.720 If you can find a way to stay later, five minutes, than your boss,

00:03:17.480 your boss, again, will think that you're working really hard.

00:03:21.740 Maybe it was only five minutes.

00:03:22.980 If you carry papers around when you walk back and forth in the hallway,

00:03:27.960 it'll look like you're on a mission.

00:03:30.200 If you have nothing in your hand when you're walking back and forth,

00:03:33.000 no laptop, no phone,

00:03:35.180 it just looks like you're going to the restroom.

00:03:38.080 So I would argue that you should do what my coworkers did.

00:03:42.760 My old boss, the one who actually named Dilbert,

00:03:45.560 he came up with the name Dilbert,

00:03:46.820 he used to answer all questions about how you're doing

00:03:52.560 with answers about how hard he's working.

00:03:57.820 At first, I didn't realize the brilliance of it,

00:04:01.720 but over time, it's sort of a Trumpian hypnosis

00:04:05.580 that makes you think he's the hardest working guy.

00:04:08.180 And I'm here to tell you, I loved my old boss, Mike Goodwin.

00:04:13.300 Great guy.

00:04:14.560 But he was not the hardest working guy in the office.

00:04:17.700 He was just the guy who talked about it the most.

00:04:21.100 So you'd say, hey, Mike, how you doing?

00:04:24.380 Let's say it's Monday, you haven't seen him.

00:04:26.280 You'd be like, I'm jumping on hand grenades

00:04:29.240 and crawling through the swamp.

00:04:31.400 And I got five jobs to do today.

00:04:35.120 Some of it was true.

00:04:36.260 But the illusion of how much work he was doing was great

00:04:39.660 and his career went pretty well.

00:04:42.340 It's the illusion of work that you need to master.

00:04:47.960 Well, I wonder if there's any science

00:04:49.860 that they didn't need to do

00:04:51.400 because they could have just asked Scott.

00:04:54.040 Oh, here's some.

00:04:55.380 In SciPost, Karina Pichova's writing about this.

00:04:59.100 It was a 35-day...

00:05:00.560 I'm going to guess that you could have all guessed this one too.

00:05:05.140 I'm not going to take any credit for getting this one right.

00:05:08.440 A 35-day study of couples

00:05:11.120 finds that being present and nonjudgmental during sex

00:05:14.960 is associated with greater sexual well-being

00:05:18.140 for you and your partner.

00:05:21.040 So, you're saying that paying attention

00:05:24.300 to the person you're having sex with

00:05:25.860 while you're having sex

00:05:27.100 can make the experience better.

00:05:29.500 Well, apparently, that's what I've been doing wrong

00:05:32.880 my whole life.

00:05:34.660 I learned to doomscroll and eat a sandwich

00:05:36.940 while I'm having intercourse.

00:05:38.880 And I wasn't getting very good reviews,

00:05:41.800 if you know what I mean.

00:05:44.140 So, apparently, don't be using your phone

00:05:47.520 while you're in mid-intercourse.

00:05:50.480 That's what science tells us.

00:05:52.480 I don't know if you could have guessed that on your own,

00:05:54.660 but I have full confidence that many of you could.

00:05:58.220 Many of you could.

00:06:00.540 There's another study from Monash University

00:06:03.480 that listening to or playing music

00:06:05.540 when you're over 75

00:06:07.480 is linked to up to a 39% reduction in dementia risk.

00:06:13.340 So, learning to play music was good,

00:06:16.080 but apparently just listening to it all the time

00:06:18.380 is really good too.

00:06:19.180 Do you believe this study

00:06:21.420 that they can measure the dementia risk

00:06:24.860 based on how much music you listen to?

00:06:28.080 Do you think that's true?

00:06:30.960 It might be.

00:06:32.420 It might be.

00:06:33.360 I won't rule this one out.

00:06:35.140 It seems to me that anything that engages your mind

00:06:38.040 would probably reduce your risk of dementia.

00:06:42.060 Every other time we look at anything

00:06:44.160 that activates your mind,

00:06:47.280 yeah, Sertow disagrees.

00:06:50.980 I'm a famous anti-musiker

00:06:53.060 because I think if you have a regular life,

00:06:57.980 music is just pollution in your brain

00:06:59.960 because your brain is just so full of stuff

00:07:02.560 you're not going to get dementia when you're 40

00:07:05.200 if it has anything to do with

00:07:07.220 how much you have to think about

00:07:08.380 because when you're 40,

00:07:09.940 you're thinking about a lot of stuff.

00:07:12.080 But if you're 75 and you've got nothing going on

00:07:14.920 and you'd just be otherwise walking around the house

00:07:18.580 listening to whatever's on the news,

00:07:21.040 it feels like it'd be better to listen to music.

00:07:24.440 I don't know.

00:07:25.360 That one might be real.

00:07:29.020 Well, according to Fox News,

00:07:31.000 Sarah Rumpf-Witten,

00:07:32.240 that's a tough name.

00:07:36.980 I see why she hyphenated it.

00:07:38.580 Rumpf.

00:07:41.060 The No Kings protest

00:07:42.620 was largely made up of

00:07:44.920 older, white, educated women in their 40s.

00:07:49.540 And there's this expert,

00:07:52.700 Jonathan Elpert,

00:07:54.460 who hypothesizes that they're using it for therapy,

00:07:58.840 that the reason it's this particular demographic,

00:08:02.340 you know, we've speculated,

00:08:03.460 why is it this demographic?

00:08:05.580 And, you know, we thought,

00:08:07.340 well, maybe it's the retired,

00:08:09.380 they're the ones who watch legacy news,

00:08:13.500 and probably all those are factors.

00:08:15.580 But it might be that Jonathan Elpert

00:08:18.700 has the exact right answer,

00:08:21.360 which is that it's exactly the same group

00:08:24.160 that are having mental problems about Trump,

00:08:26.840 and they believe that marching around

00:08:28.740 with other people who have the same viewpoint

00:08:31.560 would be a form of group therapy.

00:08:35.540 And I thought to myself,

00:08:37.220 you know what?

00:08:38.660 It is group therapy.

00:08:40.900 And you know what else?

00:08:42.700 I'll bet it works.

00:08:43.520 I'll bet it works.

00:08:46.440 Just feeling validated

00:08:48.160 by marching around with people who agree with you

00:08:50.300 and tell you that you're right on point.

00:08:53.900 Oh, yeah, you see the world clearly.

00:08:56.300 You don't have any mental problems.

00:08:58.580 There are just real problems in the world.

00:09:00.460 It's called Donald Trump.

00:09:02.660 So if you see these protests

00:09:05.020 as more group therapy,

00:09:09.500 everything makes sense.

00:09:10.560 Like all the pieces come together.

00:09:13.540 It's like, oh, oh, now I get it.

00:09:16.060 It's just group therapy.

00:09:17.580 That's why there's no violence.

00:09:20.160 Right?

00:09:21.060 That's why there's no looting.

00:09:23.140 Because that's not why they're there.

00:09:25.000 They're not there to change policy,

00:09:26.800 because that's when things get a little violent,

00:09:29.320 when they're trying to change something.

00:09:31.020 They're not really trying to change anything

00:09:32.820 except how they feel.

00:09:33.980 And then it explains everything.

00:09:39.720 Well, according to WTF Detective,

00:09:43.000 whatever that is,

00:09:44.580 a study at Michigan State University

00:09:46.320 said that one in five adults don't want children

00:09:48.720 and that people decide early in life

00:09:51.700 that they don't want them,

00:09:52.820 and they actually stick to it.

00:09:54.120 They don't change their minds.

00:09:55.860 Do you think we're in trouble

00:09:56.960 if only 20% of the people don't want children?

00:10:00.160 Because it feels like that's not that different

00:10:03.780 than it ever was, was it?

00:10:07.520 Did 20%...

00:10:09.800 Was it always true that more than 80% of people had children?

00:10:13.940 I feel like 20% is sort of what it's always been.

00:10:18.320 Or was it 10%?

00:10:19.580 I don't know.

00:10:20.440 Maybe a double.

00:10:23.060 All right.

00:10:23.760 But there's a new economic study out

00:10:28.660 by, let's see,

00:10:31.500 Nicole Ganakis and Tobias and Prechmer.

00:10:35.500 It's in the CEPR, whatever that is.

00:10:37.640 Anyway, so it's a new economic study.

00:10:40.720 And what they did was they wanted to study

00:10:42.760 to find out if confusopolies are real

00:10:46.380 and if they're being used.

00:10:49.060 Now, have you ever heard that word, confusopoly?

00:10:51.540 It was coined in the 90s.

00:10:56.260 Do you know who coined that phrase in the 90s?

00:11:00.160 I did.

00:11:01.600 It was in my book.

00:11:03.200 I think it was in the Dilbert Future.

00:11:05.820 It's now in the economic literature.

00:11:09.140 So if you were to Google confusopoly,

00:11:11.400 you would find out that it's attributed to me.

00:11:14.540 I think Wikipedia still talks about it.

00:11:17.160 And the theory was that I invented in the 90s

00:11:21.240 is that big companies that had confusing pricing

00:11:25.020 were being confusing intentionally

00:11:27.760 because their product was the same as their competitors.

00:11:31.320 So the only way they could argue that you should buy theirs

00:11:34.040 is if you couldn't tell the difference

00:11:36.300 between theirs and somebody else's.

00:11:38.260 So the confusopoly is the idea that cell phone companies

00:11:43.380 and insurance companies, I use them as my examples,

00:11:47.100 they would give you pricing that you could not compare

00:11:50.280 to anything else.

00:11:51.880 So the cell phone company would be like,

00:11:54.000 well, you're paying by minutes,

00:11:55.700 but this one has rollovers, but only for family members,

00:12:00.300 but you have to pay first to be eligible for the rollover,

00:12:03.180 but you had to buy your phone instead of, you know,

00:12:05.960 so even AI wouldn't be able to figure out

00:12:09.640 which phone service was best for you.

00:12:12.640 Nor could you necessarily easily tell

00:12:15.240 if you had coverage in the places

00:12:17.440 that you were personally going to go.

00:12:19.100 It's easier now, but in the early days,

00:12:22.080 you couldn't even tell if you'd have coverage.

00:12:24.160 So that's the confusopoly.

00:12:26.760 Everybody gets their piece of the business

00:12:28.660 because they all sort of collude without colluding

00:12:32.380 to be confusing, and they all know that that works.

00:12:37.420 So this economic study was done,

00:12:39.540 and they concluded that it is highly plausible

00:12:42.480 that the firms do act in a confusopoly fashion.

00:12:49.620 So now it has some actual rigorous economic backing

00:12:54.360 to the confusopoly thing.

00:12:57.160 Have you ever tried to buy insurance?

00:13:00.100 Oh, my God.

00:13:01.980 Insurance is just a monster of complexity and confusopoly.

00:13:08.240 According to the New York Post,

00:13:11.140 Georgia Worrell is writing that U.S. homeownership

00:13:14.180 dipped in 2025 for the first time in nearly a decade,

00:13:19.000 and that is mostly because of interest rates, I think.

00:13:23.020 Interest rates plus the general affordability

00:13:25.360 of everything is worse.

00:13:27.160 So it's not a big change.

00:13:29.420 It's just a tiny little downtick, 0.1%.

00:13:32.460 But we need U.S. homeownership to go up.

00:13:38.160 You don't last long if that goes down forever.

00:13:41.480 That's not a good sign.

00:13:42.980 But it's just a blip at the moment.

00:13:44.700 I talk about this all the time, but this market is developing,

00:13:51.160 the loneliness market, especially for senior citizens.

00:13:55.420 So now there's a new AI startup called Mila.

00:13:58.780 It's like a little chat bot for your senior citizen family members.

00:14:03.240 And apparently they like it.

00:14:04.860 They're pretty happy with it, the seniors.

00:14:07.180 Now, the part I don't understand is that the company says they added memory to it

00:14:14.520 so that your little chat bot will remember your conversations,

00:14:18.040 to which I say, okay, how could that possibly be true that they added memory to it?

00:14:25.860 They don't have memory on Chad GPT, at least memory that's going to be reliable.

00:14:33.880 Well, Grok doesn't have memory.

00:14:36.440 It has memory during the conversation, but it doesn't remember you when it comes back.

00:14:41.300 So are you telling me that this little app for seniors has cracked the hardest part in AI

00:14:48.180 that literally nobody can crack?

00:14:51.340 I don't think so.

00:14:52.940 I think maybe the old people don't know that it has the wrong answers.

00:14:56.800 Maybe their memories are as bad as the app, so they can't tell the difference.

00:15:01.240 40 bucks a month gets you one.

00:15:03.880 If I did not have all of you, I'd be using that app.

00:15:12.100 I mean, why not?

00:15:14.360 All right, here's another Scott was right without being an expert.

00:15:19.800 It's Scott against the experts today.

00:15:22.620 So the head of Meta's AI is this guy, Jan LeCun.

00:15:28.240 You may have seen him.

00:15:29.180 He gets a lot of attention.

00:15:30.780 But he was in some event, and he was saying that the current way that we train AI will never get you to intelligence, basically.

00:15:42.120 And that the whole pattern language, the large language models, you can train them forever, and it would never create intelligence.

00:15:52.940 So the head of AI at Meta is saying exactly what I've said for two years, that there's no logical way you can get from pattern recognition of words to intelligence.

00:16:09.960 But it might look and act like people, because what we would discover is that people are just operating on patterns, too, and we don't have intelligence.

00:16:22.400 Was I right about any of that?

00:16:26.420 Yeah, I was right about all of it.

00:16:28.280 I was right about all of it.

00:16:30.060 Now, what he says, and you've heard other people like Elon say this, I think, that the current models, they look like they're going to be PhD smart, but they never will be.

00:16:40.800 There's no way they can get there.

00:16:42.100 And I've been saying that.

00:16:44.500 I was like, I think this all looks like a fraud.

00:16:47.320 It doesn't look like the thing they're doing with these gigantic data centers would ever, under any circumstances, could ever succeed.

00:16:56.120 It's just logically impossible.

00:16:59.660 I guess he agrees, but there's a solution.

00:17:02.580 I don't know if the solution makes any more sense.

00:17:04.620 But the solution is that the models have to look at things happening in the real world and understand real world physics.

00:17:15.240 So the thinking is if your AI could just observe humans or other robots doing things, it could learn sort of the way that humans learn by observing and then trying to imitate it.

00:17:27.100 So that that would get the robots and the AI to something like real intelligence.

00:17:32.300 But that's untested.

00:17:36.080 It's definitely the approach that I'm pretty sure this is what Elon's doing now.

00:17:41.460 I think he's training his with real world physics as opposed to large language models.

00:17:48.300 I'm talking about his robots specifically.

00:17:53.340 Something else I was going to say about that?

00:17:58.320 I guess as things like the robots' hands get more sensitive,

00:18:02.300 Tesla has good hands on their optimists, says Elon.

00:18:07.740 The hands would capture a lot of stuff in the real world, too, as long as it's doing stuff.

00:18:14.160 All right.

00:18:14.800 So that's coming.

00:18:16.660 So the robots now are being trained on artificial worlds, which they imagine.

00:18:22.820 And I'm trying to figure out if that matches how humans learn.

00:18:26.020 And that was weird.

00:18:39.460 It's the worst lamp in the world.

00:18:42.340 So I've got a lamp that doesn't have any raised buttons.

00:18:46.200 So when the lamp goes off, you have no idea where to touch it to turn on the light.

00:18:53.060 And if you hit the wrong button, it goes on a 45-minute timer instead of just turning on.

00:18:59.560 Who designed that?

00:19:01.280 Who designed the light that you can't find the switch if the light is off?

00:19:04.860 I mean, seriously.

00:19:06.640 Did they test that even one time?

00:19:08.960 Did they test their light in a lit room every time they turned it on?

00:19:13.480 It's like, oh, look how easy it is to find this button.

00:19:18.800 I swear to God, I have so many products that could not possibly have been tested even once.

00:19:25.840 Even once that could not have been tested.

00:19:27.880 But anyway, so these models are imagining what the world looks like and then learning from their own imagination.

00:19:38.500 So the same way that you would create a video with AI, you tell it, oh, imagine a cat is a samurai or something.

00:19:47.280 The AI is doing the same thing.

00:19:49.340 So it's imagining a world and then it's observing its own imagined world.

00:19:54.200 And then it's trying to learn the physics from the world it created, which I'm not sure makes sense.

00:20:03.000 But people smarter than me say it does, so I'll accept it.

00:20:07.560 Apparently Apple, according to Doge Designer, this is the only place I saw it, was one account on X.

00:20:14.100 Doge Designer says that Apple's in talks with SpaceX to work on Starlink.

00:20:20.560 Meaning that your future iPhone could work on Starlink alone, as opposed to a phone company.

00:20:28.920 Hmm.

00:20:30.340 Now we're getting interesting.

00:20:32.180 Does that suggest that SpaceX and Starlink will not make their own phone?

00:20:39.380 Now, apparently they're not talking to Android.

00:20:41.660 Don't know why.

00:20:43.020 Or not talking to it yet.

00:20:45.200 But they're talking about it in terms of dead zones.

00:20:47.800 So if the only thing that Apple is doing is agreeing that Starlink will fire up if you're in a dead zone, but only in a dead zone,

00:20:56.900 then it's not that big a story, but it's kind of cool.

00:21:00.520 I don't really have any dead zones where I live.

00:21:02.940 Do you guys still have dead zones for cell?

00:21:06.640 When was the last time you were somewhere where your cell didn't work?

00:21:10.120 On a mountain somewhere?

00:21:11.260 I don't do a lot of hiking.

00:21:16.300 All right.

00:21:17.000 So Trump's got this lawsuit he's had for a while against the Des Moines Register newspaper

00:21:23.640 because one of their pollsters close to the election, this last election,

00:21:29.720 published what most people would consider a fake poll.

00:21:33.820 So it was one of the most respected pollsters, this Ann Seltzer pollster,

00:21:41.860 but just before the election dropped a poll that said that Kamala was doing great.

00:21:47.740 And none of that was true.

00:21:49.720 So people thought that the poll was intentionally fake to bolster Kamala,

00:21:55.720 and that's what Trump is claiming.

00:21:57.880 And I guess he had some kind of a state court win that is not a victory on the case,

00:22:03.340 but rather allows him to press it.

00:22:05.740 So the only thing that's changed is that he's allowed to go forward with this case.

00:22:11.800 I think he's got a case.

00:22:14.400 It was so obvious that that was a fake poll.

00:22:18.080 I mean, again, I'm not an expert at polling,

00:22:23.200 but I knew it was fake as soon as I saw it.

00:22:26.360 Didn't you?

00:22:26.780 There's a lot of stuff you don't have to be an expert about to know it's fake when you see it.

00:22:32.660 That's sort of my only skill.

00:22:34.380 I don't have technical skill, but I can spot bullshit pretty easily.

00:22:39.820 Pretty easily.

00:22:40.780 Not every time.

00:22:43.440 There's a center square voters' voice poll

00:22:46.960 that found out that almost half of adults between 18 and 29

00:22:51.080 either have not much confidence or no confidence at all in the midterm elections coming up.

00:22:56.780 So half of people in that young category don't think you can trust the elections.

00:23:03.380 That's just, that's MAGA.

00:23:08.600 Do you think that came from Trump?

00:23:10.460 Or is it just a generic young people don't trust stuff?

00:23:14.400 Could be both.

00:23:17.500 Anyway, my question would be,

00:23:19.580 why would any young person trust an election?

00:23:21.920 I understand the argument for not trusting it,

00:23:27.520 but what would be the argument for trusting it?

00:23:31.800 Like, how inexperienced in the world would you have to be

00:23:35.600 to think that there's something like, you know,

00:23:38.220 any big organization that has any kind of power over you

00:23:42.060 that also operates completely ethically?

00:23:46.660 We don't really see that.

00:23:49.020 When there's some big organization that has power over you,

00:23:52.340 they're always operating unethically.

00:23:55.000 Always.

00:23:56.020 How's your financial world?

00:23:57.860 How's your healthcare world?

00:24:00.720 How's your NGOs?

00:24:02.080 How's your taxes?

00:24:03.560 How's your professional gambling and sports?

00:24:06.360 It's everything.

00:24:07.020 You know, if you're between 18 and 29,

00:24:10.360 you think you didn't notice

00:24:11.460 that literally everything is rigged?

00:24:15.040 And to believe that the only thing that's not rigged

00:24:18.400 is the thing that would rig the most

00:24:20.980 and probably have the most access to rig.

00:24:24.740 Probably.

00:24:26.700 Really?

00:24:27.980 Is that what you believe?

00:24:29.540 That everything else is observably, provably rigged

00:24:33.880 from the lawfare to the government.

00:24:39.060 You name it.

00:24:41.020 Right?

00:24:41.860 The climate change was a hoax.

00:24:44.200 All the news is fake.

00:24:46.580 Everything's rigged, except the elections.

00:24:50.360 How can you believe that?

00:24:54.160 How inexperienced in the world would you have to believe

00:24:57.660 that everything is rigged, provably so,

00:25:02.580 except the elections?

00:25:03.880 I don't know.

00:25:07.500 People.

00:25:09.840 Today's the first day of early voting for New York City,

00:25:12.720 so I would say that the result is over.

00:25:16.480 There was, you know, some Hail Mary hope

00:25:20.020 that maybe Sliwa would drop out

00:25:23.700 before the voting started.

00:25:25.340 He did not,

00:25:27.020 and apparently it was just a huge day of first voting,

00:25:30.080 just lots and lots of numbers,

00:25:31.780 which would suggest that the conclusion is already a done deal,

00:25:37.200 and it would suggest that Mondami is going to win easily.

00:25:40.440 We'll have to wait for the result,

00:25:42.940 but that's what it suggests.

00:25:44.720 So I wasn't really following this whole Canada and Ronald Reagan tariff advertising story,

00:25:53.320 but it just persisted a little bit longer than I wanted,

00:25:56.760 so I'll mention it.

00:25:57.620 So the basic idea was that things were starting to go well with negotiating a trade deal with Canada,

00:26:04.100 but then the, who was it?

00:26:08.180 This guy, Ontario Premier Doug Ford,

00:26:11.080 somehow he got millions and millions of dollars to run an ad campaign

00:26:15.560 that used Ronald Reagan,

00:26:18.860 and I think they AI'd him,

00:26:21.160 to make it look like he didn't like tariffs,

00:26:24.740 and he did that to sort of embarrass Trump and the United States,

00:26:30.140 and to essentially use our golden Reagan against us.

00:26:36.280 Trump didn't like that at all,

00:26:39.720 and so he decided to cancel their,

00:26:43.020 just cancel the trade talks based on an advertisement on TV,

00:26:47.360 and add another 10% to their tariffs,

00:26:51.360 and he said,

00:26:53.180 apparently they had agreed to take it down earlier than they are,

00:26:57.240 they're going to let it run through the weekend,

00:26:59.960 and that's what he was mad about.

00:27:01.280 So if they had taken it down immediately when he asked,

00:27:05.380 I guess he'd be okay with it, grudgingly,

00:27:07.780 but they seem to have,

00:27:10.380 he's indicating, Trump is,

00:27:12.160 that they may have misled him,

00:27:14.900 possibly lied to him,

00:27:16.600 and I think it's the lying to him part that he's responded to

00:27:19.820 as much as the Reagan part,

00:27:22.420 but he's got two things that got under his skin,

00:27:25.560 don't fuck with our Reagan neighbors,

00:27:29.060 and don't lie to us.

00:27:31.600 You don't get to do that.

00:27:34.400 We'll still be your best friends,

00:27:37.040 but don't fuck with our Reagan,

00:27:39.360 don't lie to us,

00:27:42.300 and then we're fine.

00:27:43.720 We're not asking a lot there.

00:27:45.740 Let's not ask a lot.

00:27:49.020 Anyway, we'll see where that goes.

00:27:50.880 That'll probably calm down a little bit.

00:27:52.880 Trump's over in Asia right now,

00:27:54.480 doing what I hope will be some kind of a victory tour.

00:27:58.080 He's good at this overseas stuff,

00:28:00.400 but he's already gone viral for dancing

00:28:03.940 when he got off the Malaysian plane.

00:28:06.240 So he lands in Malaysia,

00:28:07.820 and they have this giant welcoming party

00:28:09.540 outside the plane on the tarmac,

00:28:10.980 and most of the people there are dancers.

00:28:14.540 So they're doing some native dance,

00:28:18.200 and Trump sees the dancers.

00:28:19.460 He joins right in with his Trump fist bump dance

00:28:25.100 that doesn't move much except the fist,

00:28:28.080 but he still likes seeing it.

00:28:29.400 I don't know why,

00:28:31.400 but we all like seeing him do it.

00:28:33.300 And then that became a giant story

00:28:34.880 that he was bonding with the locals

00:28:38.140 just so immediately,

00:28:40.120 because leaders of major countries

00:28:43.520 don't get off the plane and start dancing, right?

00:28:48.300 Can you imagine Putin going out there

00:28:50.700 and seeing the dancers like,

00:28:52.020 yeah, yeah,

00:28:54.220 and he starts doing that Russian dance?

00:28:56.740 Can't imagine it.

00:28:57.520 Can you imagine President Xi

00:28:59.320 coming out with his Winnie the Pooh face

00:29:02.260 that never changes?

00:29:06.480 And then suddenly he's seeing the dancers

00:29:08.100 and go, oh,

00:29:09.700 you can't even imagine it, right?

00:29:14.100 You can't even imagine it.

00:29:16.380 If I wanted to imagine a leader

00:29:18.740 who would be, let's say,

00:29:20.680 loose enough and celebrity enough

00:29:23.680 to do what Trump did,

00:29:25.500 which is just a little bit dance,

00:29:27.520 you'd have to go all the way to Boris Johnson

00:29:32.720 just to give somebody

00:29:35.720 that you could even imagine would try it.

00:29:38.420 So only Trump.

00:29:40.900 And I'm sure they love him for it.

00:29:44.120 That will be the,

00:29:45.560 the Malaysian news will probably just cover that

00:29:48.120 nonstop for all day long,

00:29:50.080 just showing him dancing with the locals

00:29:51.840 and then everybody's like,

00:29:52.760 hey, we like this guy.

00:29:55.600 So he's signed some deals,

00:29:57.840 I think, already,

00:29:58.620 but they were sort of things

00:30:00.040 we knew were going to happen.

00:30:01.580 Maybe some improvements on the trade.

00:30:03.860 I think he's already signed some of that.

00:30:06.720 And I guess he's finalizing a deal

00:30:10.880 that would already have been done

00:30:12.220 between Thailand and Cambodia

00:30:14.040 so that they're no longer

00:30:16.040 on a warring basis.

00:30:18.560 That was already a done deal,

00:30:19.740 but I guess they made it official.

00:30:21.860 So he's got stuff to sign

00:30:23.580 that's not, you know,

00:30:26.240 groundbreaking,

00:30:26.960 but it's all good news.

00:30:28.540 End of fighting,

00:30:30.280 end of trade negotiations

00:30:31.840 so we can get ourselves a good deal.

00:30:36.080 So that's all good.

00:30:38.800 And Thailand,

00:30:39.980 according to Reuters,

00:30:41.900 Thailand and Malaysia

00:30:42.760 are going to play a bigger role

00:30:43.940 with our critical minerals.

00:30:46.880 So if what Trump gets out of this

00:30:49.540 is they like him better over there

00:30:51.420 and he gets some better trade deals,

00:30:53.680 he nails down his eight out of nine

00:30:56.300 or eight or nine wars

00:30:58.320 that he's ended,

00:30:59.640 according to him,

00:31:00.240 and he gets some extra mineral play,

00:31:03.900 pretty successful,

00:31:05.080 pretty good.

00:31:07.600 And we just have access

00:31:09.400 to three countries markets

00:31:10.860 that have been,

00:31:12.460 Reuters says,

00:31:13.200 enhanced.

00:31:14.400 Good.

00:31:15.440 It's just free money.

00:31:17.060 Now, didn't he promise us

00:31:18.420 that the trade deals

00:31:19.360 would basically just be free money?

00:31:21.900 Free money.

00:31:22.800 It looks like we got a better deal

00:31:24.580 and it's not 100% obvious

00:31:27.860 that these Asian companies

00:31:29.600 also feel they got a better deal.

00:31:31.700 They might,

00:31:32.760 just because more trade

00:31:33.700 is more better.

00:31:35.320 But it looks like he's winning.

00:31:38.640 Have you heard Peter Zion

00:31:40.240 talk about the impending collapse

00:31:43.900 of China for demographic reasons?

00:31:46.220 He's got a fairly strong argument

00:31:49.380 that China doesn't have any mechanism

00:31:52.000 for survival,

00:31:53.860 that there's no path

00:31:55.000 and that it's brought on

00:31:57.300 by their demographic manipulations.

00:32:01.920 so they have so few young people

00:32:04.260 compared to old people

00:32:05.340 that they really don't have

00:32:07.420 any way to survive

00:32:08.340 if you're looking 10, 20 years out.

00:32:11.240 Now, I'm confident

00:32:13.100 that they'll figure it out.

00:32:15.200 Robots or some damn thing.

00:32:18.420 But he does make a strong argument

00:32:20.720 that the size of their problem

00:32:22.660 is not like the size of our problems.

00:32:25.200 The U.S. actually,

00:32:27.440 even though we've got

00:32:28.140 that demographic problem too,

00:32:31.100 it's small compared to theirs.

00:32:34.780 So maybe this is the biggest thing

00:32:37.060 that will happen in the future.

00:32:38.980 Well, I'm still loving

00:32:39.980 the ballroom story,

00:32:42.080 distraction,

00:32:43.400 because Trump can go over there

00:32:45.020 and make a bunch of news

00:32:46.560 that all looks like good news

00:32:48.420 for him,

00:32:49.520 while the Democrats

00:32:52.160 are left to argue

00:32:53.960 that you should not upgrade

00:32:55.720 a building

00:32:56.160 that is often upgraded.

00:32:58.100 That's what they have.

00:33:00.120 Okay, you guys go work on,

00:33:02.140 you don't like upgrading

00:33:03.260 the building

00:33:03.820 that has been upgraded many times

00:33:07.180 and is the responsibility

00:33:08.740 of the president to upgrade it?

00:33:11.060 All right.

00:33:12.100 We'll be making some trade deals

00:33:13.560 while you're doing that.

00:33:15.400 But the ballroom story

00:33:17.080 has so many legs

00:33:18.040 because it's the perfect story

00:33:20.200 for lazy podcasters

00:33:21.840 and lazy news,

00:33:24.060 including myself,

00:33:25.960 because I don't have to do

00:33:27.140 a lot of research

00:33:28.100 to understand

00:33:29.120 construction of a ballroom.

00:33:33.220 We all understand

00:33:34.640 that prior presidents

00:33:36.740 built basketball courts

00:33:38.520 and swimming pools and stuff.

00:33:41.000 We all understand what it costs.

00:33:43.820 Now we know

00:33:44.600 we've got the full list yesterday

00:33:46.520 of who's donating

00:33:48.160 to the $350 million.

00:33:50.280 Turns out

00:33:50.940 it was really easy

00:33:52.380 to get $350 million.

00:33:55.840 Those companies

00:33:56.740 coughed that money up so fast.

00:33:59.220 Oh, yeah.

00:34:00.020 Get us on this.

00:34:01.700 Because they're all smart enough

00:34:02.820 to know that this one's

00:34:03.720 sort of a passion project

00:34:05.820 for Trump

00:34:06.420 and it means more.

00:34:08.320 It's got sort of

00:34:09.180 an emotional hook.

00:34:10.560 So they're smart enough

00:34:11.720 to know this is not

00:34:12.520 like other things.

00:34:13.820 Oh, yeah.

00:34:14.120 We'll put some money

00:34:14.800 behind this.

00:34:16.340 We're all in.

00:34:17.500 So a lot of the big companies

00:34:18.600 stepped up.

00:34:19.600 It's already funded.

00:34:21.620 They might even have

00:34:22.540 more money than they need,

00:34:24.080 which is funny.

00:34:27.180 But it turns out

00:34:28.240 that it's fake news,

00:34:29.460 according to Trump,

00:34:30.840 that he had ever

00:34:31.840 anticipated naming it

00:34:33.160 after himself.

00:34:34.140 Do you remember

00:34:34.500 the news yesterday

00:34:35.340 or the day before?

00:34:37.420 Said that Trump

00:34:38.220 was going to name it

00:34:39.600 the Donald J.

00:34:41.880 Trump ballroom.

00:34:44.220 Trump says,

00:34:44.940 that never happened.

00:34:46.440 We have not even

00:34:47.980 talked about a name for it.

00:34:49.620 He's leaning toward

00:34:51.020 the presidential ballroom.

00:34:56.140 Do you believe

00:34:57.060 that that will be

00:34:57.660 the name?

00:34:59.240 Apparently,

00:34:59.780 the staff

00:35:00.480 is already

00:35:02.100 sort of cheekily

00:35:03.120 referring to it

00:35:04.200 as the Trump ballroom.

00:35:05.960 but Trump

00:35:07.800 is very smart

00:35:08.880 to act like

00:35:10.800 that's not a done deal.

00:35:13.020 After it gets built

00:35:14.300 and you can't

00:35:15.740 take it back,

00:35:17.220 do you think

00:35:17.680 you'll still want it

00:35:18.580 to be the

00:35:19.180 presidential ballroom?

00:35:21.480 Or will he wait

00:35:22.500 to name it

00:35:23.120 when it's done

00:35:24.300 and the first time

00:35:25.500 you'll hear its actual name

00:35:26.660 is when he cuts the ribbon?

00:35:28.640 And when he cuts the ribbon,

00:35:29.800 he'll say,

00:35:30.320 I'm introducing the

00:35:31.340 what?

00:35:34.380 Just before he cuts the ribbon.

00:35:36.900 Introducing the

00:35:37.620 presidential ballroom

00:35:38.820 or

00:35:41.100 the Donald J.

00:35:42.460 Trump

00:35:42.760 ballroom

00:35:43.700 clip.

00:35:45.320 Too late to change it.

00:35:47.200 Already made the signs.

00:35:49.580 So,

00:35:50.360 I wouldn't bet against him

00:35:51.880 naming it after himself

00:35:53.160 and I wouldn't mind it either

00:35:54.320 because he is the one

00:35:55.420 who took the heat

00:35:56.120 and got it done.

00:35:57.120 If it gets done,

00:35:58.080 we assume it will.

00:36:01.540 Anyway,

00:36:01.980 I guess Tennessee

00:36:04.920 filed an amicus brief

00:36:06.800 with the Supreme Court

00:36:08.960 challenging birthright

00:36:10.380 citizenship

00:36:11.100 on behalf of

00:36:12.980 24 states.

00:36:14.720 So,

00:36:15.020 24 states

00:36:15.860 don't want people

00:36:16.780 to be a citizen

00:36:17.940 just because

00:36:18.760 their parents

00:36:20.160 from some other country

00:36:21.300 came in

00:36:21.840 and had them here.

00:36:23.480 But,

00:36:24.260 I talked to Grok

00:36:25.680 a little bit

00:36:26.180 about this issue

00:36:27.140 and Grok

00:36:28.400 believes

00:36:28.880 there is no way

00:36:29.660 in the world

00:36:30.220 that the 14th Amendment

00:36:32.640 which talks about

00:36:33.620 the birthright

00:36:34.340 citizenship

00:36:34.820 will be altered.

00:36:37.680 It notes that

00:36:38.340 Trump would like

00:36:38.860 to either narrow it

00:36:39.760 or get rid of it

00:36:40.600 but it thinks

00:36:43.340 there's no chance

00:36:44.020 of that.

00:36:45.900 Is that your

00:36:46.560 understanding too?

00:36:48.020 That there's really

00:36:48.940 no chance at all

00:36:50.260 that the Supreme Court

00:36:51.680 will get rid of

00:36:52.260 that birthright

00:36:52.860 citizenship?

00:36:53.400 I don't know

00:36:55.040 enough about the law

00:36:55.840 to have an independent

00:36:56.880 opinion about this

00:36:57.940 but the only thing

00:36:59.640 it relies on

00:37:00.540 the people

00:37:01.620 who wanted to go away

00:37:02.700 the birthright

00:37:03.880 citizenship

00:37:04.340 is this one line

00:37:06.080 that the people

00:37:07.820 born here

00:37:08.320 would be citizens

00:37:09.140 if

00:37:09.560 they are

00:37:10.500 quote

00:37:10.880 subject to the

00:37:12.020 jurisdiction

00:37:12.660 they're in

00:37:13.420 meaning the laws

00:37:14.920 of the United States.

00:37:16.340 So,

00:37:16.900 if they're born

00:37:17.460 in the United States

00:37:18.320 they live in the United States

00:37:19.680 and they're subject

00:37:20.920 to all the laws

00:37:22.240 it would have to be

00:37:23.240 all the laws

00:37:24.020 of the United States

00:37:24.980 than they're Americans

00:37:27.160 according to the

00:37:29.200 14th Amendment.

00:37:31.180 So,

00:37:32.220 you would have to

00:37:33.740 come up with

00:37:34.260 some example

00:37:35.120 where the

00:37:36.860 babies born

00:37:38.140 here

00:37:38.900 who are not

00:37:39.620 citizens

00:37:40.100 until they're born

00:37:41.240 of course

00:37:42.660 you'd have to

00:37:44.720 come up with

00:37:45.100 some example

00:37:45.800 where the

00:37:46.560 jurisdiction

00:37:47.380 does not apply

00:37:48.280 to them

00:37:48.680 and Grock

00:37:50.820 did not have

00:37:51.440 any examples

00:37:52.140 is said

00:37:53.540 no,

00:37:53.920 there's no

00:37:54.240 example

00:37:54.660 somebody

00:37:55.600 who's born

00:37:56.160 here

00:37:56.440 naturally

00:37:56.940 will be

00:37:58.300 treated

00:37:58.600 exactly

00:37:59.200 the same

00:37:59.760 under our

00:38:00.500 laws.

00:38:01.580 I think

00:38:01.980 that's true

00:38:02.560 right?

00:38:04.780 Would they

00:38:05.460 not be

00:38:06.300 draftable?

00:38:08.660 They can be

00:38:09.180 drafted

00:38:09.580 right?

00:38:10.920 I feel like

00:38:11.840 if you can be

00:38:12.460 drafted

00:38:12.900 that's the

00:38:13.400 end of the

00:38:13.780 conversation.

00:38:16.300 How many

00:38:16.800 would agree

00:38:17.240 with me?

00:38:19.580 If you're

00:38:20.280 born here

00:38:20.960 and you

00:38:23.000 can be

00:38:23.280 drafted

00:38:23.860 you know

00:38:25.600 there's not

00:38:25.980 a draft

00:38:26.400 but if there

00:38:26.920 were

00:38:27.100 you could

00:38:27.900 be drafted

00:38:28.480 you're a

00:38:30.140 citizen.

00:38:32.560 I don't

00:38:33.720 need to

00:38:34.680 have that

00:38:35.080 conversation

00:38:35.820 expand to

00:38:37.200 any other

00:38:37.740 part of the

00:38:38.180 conversation.

00:38:39.280 If you

00:38:39.940 could be

00:38:40.320 drafted

00:38:40.800 you're on

00:38:43.180 my team.

00:38:44.500 Maybe I

00:38:45.200 don't like

00:38:45.700 it.

00:38:46.420 Maybe I

00:38:46.800 wish the

00:38:47.180 law were

00:38:47.560 different.

00:38:48.720 That's a

00:38:49.120 different

00:38:49.320 conversation.

00:38:50.860 But as

00:38:51.240 long as

00:38:51.660 that's the

00:38:52.180 truth the

00:38:53.540 reality is

00:38:55.080 that you

00:38:55.660 could be

00:38:56.020 drafted to

00:38:57.660 fight for

00:38:58.260 my freedom.

00:39:00.180 Oh you're

00:39:00.560 on my

00:39:00.860 team.

00:39:02.040 Yeah.

00:39:02.480 That's a

00:39:02.860 yeah I

00:39:04.860 hear you if

00:39:05.820 you're disagreeing

00:39:06.440 with it.

00:39:07.200 I understand

00:39:07.620 the arguments

00:39:08.740 on both

00:39:09.240 sides.

00:39:10.140 Yeah.

00:39:10.860 But for me

00:39:11.540 if you're

00:39:12.300 going to be

00:39:12.980 in the

00:39:13.180 military

00:39:13.560 and take

00:39:13.960 up arms

00:39:14.500 and defend

00:39:15.660 me and

00:39:16.160 my country

00:39:16.700 you're on

00:39:17.440 my team.

00:39:18.040 That's the

00:39:18.320 end of that

00:39:18.680 story.

00:39:22.200 But I

00:39:22.840 would like

00:39:23.260 it to go

00:39:23.640 away actually.

00:39:26.500 If I

00:39:27.560 could choose

00:39:28.280 I would

00:39:30.940 want that

00:39:31.360 loophole to

00:39:31.980 go away.

00:39:33.300 But I

00:39:34.160 can't choose.

00:39:37.060 Apparently

00:39:37.560 the Trump

00:39:38.100 administration

00:39:38.700 found more

00:39:39.840 than a

00:39:40.260 billion dollars

00:39:41.240 in taxpayer

00:39:42.720 money that

00:39:43.260 was going

00:39:43.560 going to

00:39:43.720 illegals.

00:39:44.320 I think

00:39:44.560 this was

00:39:44.900 just in

00:39:45.260 one place.

00:39:47.520 Have you

00:39:48.200 been paying

00:39:49.020 attention to

00:39:49.680 this stupid

00:39:50.580 argument on

00:39:51.320 the news

00:39:51.800 where the

00:39:53.120 Democrats will

00:39:53.880 say no

00:39:55.040 money ever

00:39:56.160 goes to

00:39:56.680 health care

00:39:57.140 for illegals

00:39:57.900 because it's

00:39:59.220 literally illegal

00:40:00.320 to give

00:40:00.860 illegals

00:40:01.540 health care

00:40:02.140 money?

00:40:03.860 And then

00:40:04.280 what do the

00:40:05.840 Republicans say

00:40:06.780 as a response

00:40:07.500 to that?

00:40:09.120 Well,

00:40:09.680 it's not

00:40:13.880 true.

00:40:15.520 And then

00:40:15.860 they say

00:40:16.200 some word

00:40:16.800 salad dumb

00:40:17.480 thing that

00:40:18.000 makes the

00:40:18.440 Democrat look

00:40:19.120 like they

00:40:19.460 were right.

00:40:21.040 I don't

00:40:21.920 think the

00:40:22.400 Democrats are

00:40:23.100 right.

00:40:24.220 But why

00:40:24.920 can't any

00:40:25.600 Republican

00:40:25.980 explain the

00:40:27.840 other side

00:40:28.400 of this

00:40:28.860 issue?

00:40:30.840 And I'm

00:40:31.520 not even

00:40:31.840 sure what it

00:40:32.320 is.

00:40:32.560 Is it

00:40:33.440 something like

00:40:34.340 we don't

00:40:35.520 directly give

00:40:36.360 the money

00:40:38.220 to the

00:40:39.480 illegals for

00:40:40.320 health care

00:40:40.820 because that

00:40:42.300 would be

00:40:42.560 illegal?

00:40:43.620 So instead

00:40:44.440 we fund

00:40:45.380 the hospitals

00:40:47.520 who are

00:40:47.820 covering them?

00:40:49.760 Is that

00:40:50.600 the argument?

00:40:52.020 The Republican

00:40:53.160 response to

00:40:54.040 that is so

00:40:54.700 poor that

00:40:56.200 I've experienced

00:40:57.180 the argument

00:40:57.920 going back

00:40:58.460 and forth

00:40:58.800 several times

00:40:59.580 and I

00:41:00.420 still don't

00:41:00.880 know what

00:41:01.080 the Republican

00:41:02.440 argument is.

00:41:04.340 Do you?

00:41:06.600 Because then I

00:41:07.460 also saw,

00:41:08.740 was it

00:41:09.340 Elizabeth Warren

00:41:10.100 or something,

00:41:10.920 who said that

00:41:11.960 if your

00:41:12.540 argument is

00:41:13.300 that they're

00:41:13.680 getting treated

00:41:14.680 at the

00:41:15.300 hospitals,

00:41:16.260 that would

00:41:17.080 be the

00:41:17.380 same under

00:41:18.060 all scenarios.

00:41:19.800 There's nothing

00:41:20.620 that would

00:41:20.880 change the

00:41:21.280 fact that

00:41:21.680 they'll still

00:41:22.100 get treated

00:41:22.620 at emergency

00:41:23.840 rooms.

00:41:24.980 So what

00:41:25.640 exactly is

00:41:26.280 the Republican

00:41:26.760 argument to

00:41:27.560 that?

00:41:28.200 I believe

00:41:28.780 the Republican

00:41:29.400 argument is

00:41:29.960 the correct

00:41:30.460 one,

00:41:31.000 that there

00:41:31.620 is money

00:41:32.200 that's

00:41:33.280 being used

00:41:33.780 for those

00:41:34.220 purposes.

00:41:35.360 But why

00:41:35.760 can't they

00:41:36.180 explain it

00:41:37.000 in a way

00:41:37.380 that sounds

00:41:37.840 like a

00:41:38.240 counterpoint

00:41:38.920 to it's

00:41:40.600 illegal so

00:41:41.160 we don't

00:41:41.460 do it?

00:41:43.720 Kind of

00:41:44.300 confusing,

00:41:44.880 bad messaging

00:41:45.480 by Republicans.

00:41:48.940 Do

00:41:49.420 better.

00:41:50.840 I'd

00:41:51.320 help,

00:41:51.680 but I don't

00:41:52.000 understand.

00:41:52.600 I don't even

00:41:53.040 understand what

00:41:53.640 they're trying

00:41:53.960 to say.

00:41:55.040 I can't fix

00:41:56.420 their messaging

00:41:57.060 because I don't

00:41:58.240 even know what

00:41:58.660 it is.

00:41:59.080 I don't

00:42:00.020 know what

00:42:00.260 they're trying

00:42:00.740 to say,

00:42:01.640 much less

00:42:02.080 what they're

00:42:02.400 saying.

00:42:05.640 So there's

00:42:06.740 a Bill Gates,

00:42:07.660 I've mentioned

00:42:08.120 this before

00:42:08.680 now,

00:42:09.160 but they're

00:42:09.680 really close

00:42:10.200 to approval.

00:42:11.980 TerraPower

00:42:12.540 is a

00:42:13.900 Gen 4

00:42:14.900 nuclear power

00:42:16.160 plant that

00:42:16.580 uses that

00:42:17.080 molten salt

00:42:17.840 and it's

00:42:18.960 safe and

00:42:19.500 cheaper and

00:42:20.160 they'll make

00:42:20.500 it modular

00:42:21.000 and it'll

00:42:21.340 be the

00:42:21.640 greatest

00:42:21.900 thing.

00:42:22.820 Apparently

00:42:23.240 they got

00:42:23.720 through their

00:42:24.560 environmental

00:42:26.060 approvals,

00:42:27.220 which is

00:42:28.100 one of the

00:42:28.460 hardest things

00:42:29.020 to do if

00:42:29.540 you're a

00:42:30.720 new nuclear

00:42:31.580 power company.

00:42:33.380 And now

00:42:34.600 they have

00:42:35.000 to get

00:42:35.520 a safety

00:42:38.200 so the

00:42:40.560 environment

00:42:40.960 will be fine

00:42:41.660 but they

00:42:41.920 need a

00:42:42.200 general

00:42:42.520 safety check

00:42:44.260 so they

00:42:44.880 have to

00:42:45.120 go for

00:42:45.360 that approval.

00:42:46.580 But the

00:42:47.420 thing that

00:42:47.840 was interesting

00:42:48.360 about this

00:42:49.000 because you've

00:42:49.520 heard about

00:42:49.840 this before

00:42:50.380 is I

00:42:51.520 wondered

00:42:51.860 when did

00:42:52.380 Bill Gates

00:42:52.920 get first

00:42:53.800 involved

00:42:54.380 in funding

00:42:55.380 this

00:42:55.820 because I

00:42:57.080 wondered

00:42:57.280 how long

00:42:57.740 it took

00:42:58.220 and the

00:42:59.600 answer was

00:43:00.220 2006

00:43:01.420 according to

00:43:02.420 Grok.

00:43:04.060 So Bill

00:43:04.500 Gates

00:43:05.180 started funding

00:43:06.120 this highly

00:43:07.760 speculative

00:43:08.400 generation for

00:43:10.080 nuclear power

00:43:11.200 with who

00:43:13.540 knows what

00:43:14.240 the odds

00:43:14.620 of this

00:43:14.940 succeeding

00:43:15.360 were.

00:43:16.380 But in

00:43:16.660 2006

00:43:17.820 or was it

00:43:19.400 9?

00:43:20.720 Where was

00:43:21.160 it?

00:43:23.440 2006.

00:43:24.120 Yeah,

00:43:24.800 that's when

00:43:25.080 the company

00:43:25.480 was founded

00:43:25.980 and Gates

00:43:28.260 got into it.

00:43:28.960 So I

00:43:29.540 mention that

00:43:30.460 only so that

00:43:31.600 you can know

00:43:31.980 how long

00:43:32.420 it takes

00:43:32.900 to develop

00:43:33.620 a new

00:43:33.980 nuclear

00:43:34.440 technology

00:43:35.040 but also

00:43:36.140 to remind

00:43:37.580 you of the

00:43:38.060 value of

00:43:38.620 our

00:43:38.780 billionaires.

00:43:41.700 Don't you

00:43:42.400 think that if

00:43:43.180 Bill Gates

00:43:43.680 had not

00:43:44.260 invested

00:43:44.920 a shit ton

00:43:47.060 of money

00:43:47.380 in 2006

00:43:48.220 on something

00:43:49.500 that was

00:43:49.920 very much

00:43:50.580 not proven

00:43:51.180 that we

00:43:52.480 would not

00:43:52.880 be here

00:43:53.340 today

00:43:53.720 and this

00:43:54.260 might be

00:43:54.580 one of the

00:43:54.940 biggest

00:43:55.140 things that

00:43:55.580 ever happened

00:43:56.360 in the

00:43:56.660 world.

00:43:57.600 If we

00:43:58.200 get the

00:43:58.520 Gen 6

00:43:59.320 nuclear power

00:44:01.860 plants

00:44:02.360 commoditized

00:44:03.760 so we can

00:44:04.240 just pound

00:44:04.700 them out

00:44:05.140 and they're

00:44:06.960 safe,

00:44:07.840 that changes

00:44:08.900 everything.

00:44:12.260 So I

00:44:14.420 wonder how

00:44:14.900 much credit

00:44:15.520 you would be

00:44:15.980 willing to

00:44:16.420 give him.

00:44:16.740 I know

00:44:17.200 you think

00:44:17.600 he's the

00:44:17.980 devil for

00:44:19.020 other reasons,

00:44:19.940 vaccinations and

00:44:20.780 stuff.

00:44:21.180 I'm not going

00:44:21.720 to change

00:44:22.080 your mind

00:44:22.400 about him

00:44:22.800 in general.

00:44:24.020 I'm just

00:44:24.520 saying would

00:44:25.280 you acknowledge

00:44:26.020 that the

00:44:27.540 United States

00:44:28.080 has this

00:44:28.620 billionaire

00:44:29.020 asset where

00:44:30.720 our billionaires

00:44:31.500 will take a

00:44:32.120 risk on

00:44:32.580 something for

00:44:33.200 20 freaking

00:44:34.720 years and

00:44:37.000 still take a

00:44:37.920 flyer on it.

00:44:39.420 Do you know

00:44:40.160 how long ago

00:44:41.120 Elon Musk

00:44:42.220 got into

00:44:43.180 robots and

00:44:45.000 AI?

00:44:45.380 it was

00:44:46.740 about the

00:44:47.160 same time

00:44:47.820 and it's

00:44:48.960 only just

00:44:49.520 now starting

00:44:50.200 to pay

00:44:50.540 off.

00:44:52.840 Some of

00:44:53.500 our billionaires

00:44:54.240 are serious

00:44:55.280 long-term

00:44:55.900 thinkers with

00:44:57.560 serious risk

00:44:58.880 reward

00:45:00.200 nuts to

00:45:02.800 do things

00:45:03.280 that nobody

00:45:03.700 else would

00:45:04.080 do and

00:45:04.980 nobody else

00:45:05.480 could do

00:45:05.900 really.

00:45:07.220 So you

00:45:08.260 can be

00:45:09.060 mad at

00:45:09.460 Bill Gates

00:45:10.020 for all of

00:45:10.600 your other

00:45:11.100 reasons,

00:45:12.540 but he's

00:45:13.600 the guy

00:45:13.880 developing the

00:45:14.800 clean water

00:45:17.160 for Africa

00:45:18.400 and toilets

00:45:19.560 for Africa

00:45:20.200 and nuclear

00:45:21.420 power that's

00:45:22.160 safe.

00:45:23.480 Not

00:45:24.120 everything he's

00:45:24.940 doing is the

00:45:25.520 devil.

00:45:27.080 Not

00:45:27.720 everything.

00:45:30.140 Anyway,

00:45:30.740 the army is

00:45:31.320 also going to

00:45:31.760 bring nuclear

00:45:32.400 micro-reactors to

00:45:33.600 their bases by

00:45:34.400 2028.

00:45:36.220 I don't know

00:45:36.940 if those

00:45:37.240 nuclear mini-reactors

00:45:39.100 will be molten

00:45:40.420 salt or not,

00:45:41.260 but there's a

00:45:42.400 greater chance

00:45:42.960 that they

00:45:43.240 will be

00:45:43.540 now.

00:45:46.580 Stephen

00:45:47.300 Miller is

00:45:48.920 suggesting that

00:45:49.800 Illinois Governor

00:45:50.820 Pritzker could

00:45:51.840 be arrested

00:45:53.360 on seditious

00:45:54.960 conspiracy charges

00:45:56.140 if they block

00:45:57.780 ICE deportations.

00:46:00.200 Cassandra

00:46:00.720 McDonald's

00:46:01.320 writing about

00:46:01.760 this in the

00:46:02.400 Gateway Pundit.

00:46:05.660 What do you

00:46:06.480 think of that?

00:46:07.100 as a threat

00:46:10.380 is probably

00:46:11.680 pretty good,

00:46:13.060 but would you

00:46:14.080 want to see

00:46:14.580 Pritzker

00:46:15.320 perp walked

00:46:16.780 with handcuffs

00:46:17.920 because he

00:46:19.180 tried to stop

00:46:19.960 ICE deportations?

00:46:22.560 Would you be

00:46:23.420 okay with that?

00:46:26.200 I would not

00:46:27.320 be okay with

00:46:28.120 that.

00:46:29.320 That would be

00:46:29.940 a case of

00:46:30.720 I get that

00:46:33.040 it would be

00:46:33.460 a real crime

00:46:34.380 and I get that

00:46:35.300 it could

00:46:35.540 happen.

00:46:36.680 I wouldn't

00:46:37.080 be happy

00:46:37.580 with it.

00:46:38.940 I am happy

00:46:39.880 when I see

00:46:40.500 Trump going

00:46:41.720 after the

00:46:42.200 people who

00:46:42.680 law-fared

00:46:43.200 him.

00:46:44.220 If they

00:46:44.860 law-fared

00:46:45.500 him,

00:46:46.540 yeah,

00:46:47.000 do what

00:46:47.360 you need

00:46:47.640 to do.

00:46:48.680 If the

00:46:49.400 only thing

00:46:49.960 they did

00:46:50.440 is continually

00:46:51.420 say bad

00:46:52.200 things about

00:46:52.920 him,

00:46:54.060 which I

00:46:54.540 think is

00:46:54.940 Pritzker's

00:46:55.580 situation,

00:46:56.200 he's more

00:46:56.560 like a

00:46:57.580 perpetual

00:46:58.080 critic,

00:46:59.120 I don't

00:46:59.840 think you

00:47:00.380 perp walk

00:47:01.000 the perpetual

00:47:01.660 critics,

00:47:02.880 even though

00:47:03.940 there's a

00:47:04.380 real crime,

00:47:05.760 potentially,

00:47:06.780 the hypothetical

00:47:07.600 is that there's

00:47:08.340 a real crime

00:47:08.940 involved.

00:47:09.980 I don't

00:47:10.580 know how

00:47:10.840 you ignore

00:47:11.720 a real crime,

00:47:13.820 you know,

00:47:14.040 again,

00:47:14.320 it's hypothetical,

00:47:15.480 but if he

00:47:16.140 did commit

00:47:17.740 a real crime

00:47:18.520 and it

00:47:19.700 really got

00:47:20.960 to safety

00:47:21.720 of the

00:47:22.320 population,

00:47:24.220 which it

00:47:24.620 would,

00:47:25.760 I can see

00:47:26.640 why they

00:47:26.980 do it,

00:47:28.020 but I

00:47:28.620 wouldn't

00:47:28.800 love it.

00:47:29.960 I wouldn't

00:47:30.300 love it.

00:47:30.780 anyway,

00:47:34.860 Candace Owens

00:47:35.540 has some

00:47:36.000 new claims.

00:47:38.240 She's

00:47:38.820 claiming that

00:47:39.660 Elon Musk,

00:47:41.120 Sam Altman

00:47:41.740 and Peter

00:47:42.700 Thiel,

00:47:43.540 they have

00:47:44.200 sort of a

00:47:44.740 non-human

00:47:45.420 vibe,

00:47:46.700 and she

00:47:47.020 wonders if

00:47:47.600 they're alien

00:47:48.180 hybrids.

00:47:50.860 So,

00:47:51.620 so that's

00:47:52.420 happening.

00:47:53.200 I remind

00:47:53.920 you again

00:47:54.300 that I,

00:47:54.860 I'm a big

00:47:55.900 fan of

00:47:56.380 Candace,

00:47:57.360 and somebody

00:47:57.900 reminded me

00:47:58.620 today on X

00:47:59.400 that she

00:47:59.880 had,

00:48:00.700 she had

00:48:01.560 come out

00:48:02.120 very favorably

00:48:03.480 with some

00:48:04.280 comments about

00:48:04.960 me in

00:48:06.640 May of,

00:48:07.640 May of

00:48:09.140 last year,

00:48:09.580 maybe.

00:48:10.100 I can't

00:48:10.660 remember if

00:48:11.100 it was after

00:48:11.560 I got

00:48:11.900 canceled or

00:48:12.720 after I

00:48:13.140 came out

00:48:13.480 with my

00:48:13.760 health

00:48:13.980 problems,

00:48:14.940 but Candace,

00:48:16.680 without any

00:48:17.200 prompting,

00:48:17.940 just one

00:48:18.960 day,

00:48:19.800 decided to

00:48:20.580 say very

00:48:21.440 kind things

00:48:22.200 about me

00:48:22.680 and the

00:48:23.520 value of

00:48:23.920 my work.

00:48:25.080 And so

00:48:25.460 I'm

00:48:25.840 completely

00:48:26.440 biased in

00:48:27.600 her favor.

00:48:28.040 And I've

00:48:29.420 told you

00:48:29.660 I've met

00:48:30.020 her and

00:48:30.280 she's a

00:48:30.700 very warm

00:48:31.280 person in

00:48:31.880 person,

00:48:32.520 very warm

00:48:33.200 and very

00:48:35.600 talented,

00:48:36.280 one of the

00:48:36.660 most talented

00:48:37.120 people in

00:48:37.620 the game.

00:48:38.680 So I'm

00:48:39.400 just pro

00:48:40.100 Candace,

00:48:41.620 front to

00:48:42.840 back,

00:48:43.860 top to

00:48:44.320 bottom.

00:48:45.780 I'm just

00:48:46.460 pro Candace.

00:48:47.740 So,

00:48:48.500 and you all

00:48:48.960 know that

00:48:49.260 doesn't mean

00:48:49.720 I have to

00:48:50.120 agree with

00:48:50.600 all the

00:48:51.040 takes,

00:48:51.500 right?

00:48:51.780 That's the

00:48:52.160 way it

00:48:52.320 works.

00:48:53.500 But,

00:48:54.660 love her

00:48:55.240 to death.

00:48:55.620 All right.

00:48:59.060 There's at

00:48:59.720 least one

00:49:00.360 scientist,

00:49:01.720 Harvard

00:49:01.940 scientist,

00:49:02.600 who's

00:49:02.940 teasing us

00:49:03.540 about this

00:49:04.100 giant comet

00:49:06.680 that's heading

00:49:07.620 through our

00:49:08.080 solar system.

00:49:09.360 And apparently

00:49:09.940 it changed,

00:49:10.920 it grew a

00:49:11.520 tail.

00:49:12.540 It didn't

00:49:12.960 have a

00:49:13.500 comet tail,

00:49:14.300 but now it

00:49:14.700 does.

00:49:15.600 And so

00:49:16.240 one scientist

00:49:16.840 is teasing

00:49:17.580 that it

00:49:18.100 might be

00:49:18.500 an alien

00:49:19.340 craft and

00:49:20.720 that that's

00:49:21.120 a sign of

00:49:21.500 it's

00:49:21.740 maneuvering.

00:49:23.400 That's

00:49:23.780 basically

00:49:24.220 firing

00:49:25.340 thrusters

00:49:25.940 in a

00:49:26.380 different

00:49:26.600 direction

00:49:27.000 to

00:49:27.200 maneuver.

00:49:28.180 I don't

00:49:28.940 think that

00:49:29.440 there are

00:49:29.800 any other

00:49:30.480 scientists

00:49:30.940 who are

00:49:31.340 agreeing with

00:49:31.880 that take,

00:49:33.240 but I love

00:49:33.980 that plucky

00:49:34.540 scientist who

00:49:35.420 says it

00:49:35.800 might be.

00:49:36.840 It might be

00:49:37.800 full of

00:49:38.140 aliens.

00:49:38.960 What we

00:49:39.480 don't know

00:49:40.040 is if

00:49:40.640 that's the

00:49:41.240 alien Uber

00:49:42.880 that's coming

00:49:43.500 to pick up

00:49:44.720 Elon and

00:49:45.680 Sam and

00:49:46.860 Thiel.

00:49:48.140 So,

00:49:48.640 if Candace

00:49:49.180 is right,

00:49:50.780 that big

00:49:51.180 comet's going

00:49:51.780 to land

00:49:52.160 somewhere in

00:49:52.800 Silicon Valley

00:49:53.580 and a

00:49:53.820 big door

00:49:54.200 will open

00:49:54.660 and then

00:49:55.740 our

00:49:55.900 billionaires

00:49:56.400 will all

00:49:56.740 get back

00:49:57.140 on board

00:49:57.560 and go

00:49:57.920 back to

00:49:58.240 their home

00:49:58.540 planet.

00:50:00.100 No,

00:50:00.640 they're not

00:50:01.100 aliens,

00:50:01.780 I don't

00:50:02.060 think.

00:50:03.300 Probably.

00:50:04.960 Good chance

00:50:05.760 they're not.

00:50:07.360 At least

00:50:08.000 50% chance

00:50:09.000 they're not

00:50:09.320 aliens.

00:50:12.660 All right.

00:50:15.320 Speaking of

00:50:16.000 aliens,

00:50:16.980 Daily Mail

00:50:17.480 has a story,

00:50:18.160 Chris Malore,

00:50:18.880 about allegedly

00:50:20.460 evidence of

00:50:21.300 non-human

00:50:21.960 intelligence

00:50:22.700 near U.S.

00:50:24.280 nuclear sites.

00:50:25.600 So,

00:50:25.780 apparently,

00:50:26.680 since the

00:50:27.320 40s,

00:50:28.120 we've been

00:50:28.900 observing that

00:50:30.360 there are some

00:50:31.440 things that get

00:50:32.060 extra bright in

00:50:33.160 the sky if it's

00:50:34.900 over a nuclear

00:50:35.720 test,

00:50:36.800 before the

00:50:37.440 nuclear test.

00:50:39.060 And the

00:50:39.660 thinking is that

00:50:40.560 we've been

00:50:40.960 observed for

00:50:41.940 all these many

00:50:42.660 years by aliens

00:50:43.700 who seem to

00:50:44.840 know when we're

00:50:45.340 going to do a

00:50:45.840 nuclear test,

00:50:47.300 and so they put

00:50:47.840 assets around,

00:50:49.040 and you can see

00:50:49.700 the assets in the

00:50:50.520 air above the

00:50:51.540 site.

00:50:52.020 It would be

00:50:52.600 sort of extra

00:50:54.000 glowing something

00:50:55.060 somethings.

00:50:56.280 Well,

00:50:56.760 that's the

00:50:57.140 claim.

00:50:58.340 Do you believe

00:50:59.120 any of that?

00:51:01.000 I'm going to

00:51:01.640 go with no.

00:51:03.820 I'm going to

00:51:04.420 go with no.

00:51:05.320 There are no

00:51:05.760 aliens watching

00:51:06.480 our nuclear

00:51:06.960 tests.

00:51:08.020 Might be.

00:51:09.020 I mean,

00:51:09.320 I can't rule

00:51:10.040 it out,

00:51:11.300 but I'm going

00:51:11.820 to go with

00:51:12.320 no.

00:51:12.980 I saw

00:51:17.360 Democrat

00:51:17.980 Rahm

00:51:18.960 Emanuel

00:51:19.500 with a

00:51:20.080 really good

00:51:20.640 turn of a

00:51:21.520 phrase that

00:51:22.920 I liked so

00:51:23.460 much I wanted

00:51:24.360 to share it.

00:51:25.720 He was

00:51:26.160 talking about

00:51:26.740 what the

00:51:27.060 Democrats did

00:51:27.780 wrong in

00:51:28.280 2024,

00:51:29.480 and he

00:51:30.060 used this

00:51:30.780 phrase.

00:51:31.320 He said,

00:51:31.640 Democrats

00:51:32.000 allowed

00:51:32.500 themselves to

00:51:33.820 be framed in

00:51:34.660 a cultural

00:51:35.520 cul-de-sac,

00:51:36.920 to which I

00:51:37.940 said,

00:51:38.480 damn,

00:51:38.760 that's good.

00:51:40.340 That's really

00:51:40.780 good.

00:51:41.180 It's good

00:51:41.560 writing,

00:51:42.160 it's not

00:51:43.820 really great

00:51:44.300 persuasion,

00:51:45.500 but it's

00:51:46.540 really good

00:51:46.920 writing,

00:51:48.000 a cultural

00:51:48.640 cul-de-sac.

00:51:50.880 It's sort

00:51:51.560 of perfect.

00:51:52.520 He's very

00:51:52.960 smart,

00:51:53.720 Rahm Emanuel

00:51:54.200 is.

00:51:56.120 Somebody said

00:51:56.960 in the comments

00:51:57.520 that he's got

00:51:58.460 the right

00:51:58.800 message,

00:51:59.280 but he's

00:51:59.540 the wrong

00:51:59.800 messenger.

00:52:00.840 I think

00:52:01.620 that's true.

00:52:02.560 He's another

00:52:03.140 older white

00:52:03.920 guy.

00:52:04.800 I just

00:52:05.520 don't know

00:52:05.900 that the

00:52:06.200 Democrat

00:52:06.520 party has

00:52:07.120 patience for

00:52:07.880 another

00:52:08.140 older white

00:52:08.640 guy.

00:52:09.920 And he's

00:52:11.760 more famous

00:52:12.400 for being

00:52:12.940 tough than

00:52:14.480 for charisma.

00:52:17.300 So being

00:52:17.740 tough I

00:52:18.340 think works

00:52:18.780 a little

00:52:19.120 bit better

00:52:19.540 as a

00:52:19.840 mayor.

00:52:20.320 He's been

00:52:20.640 a mayor.

00:52:21.940 He's been

00:52:22.460 a diplomat.

00:52:23.720 I don't

00:52:24.160 know that

00:52:24.540 he's got

00:52:24.960 the presidential

00:52:26.740 vibe though.

00:52:28.420 He doesn't

00:52:28.880 have the

00:52:29.280 Bill Clinton,

00:52:31.180 Barack Obama,

00:52:34.220 or the

00:52:35.340 Bush vibe.

00:52:37.000 There's

00:52:37.300 an extra

00:52:37.980 thing that

00:52:39.960 all those

00:52:40.400 guys had.

00:52:41.440 Even

00:52:41.700 Hillary.

00:52:42.340 Hillary had

00:52:42.900 the thing.

00:52:45.220 He doesn't

00:52:45.920 have the

00:52:46.220 thing.

00:52:47.400 He just

00:52:47.740 doesn't have

00:52:48.080 the thing,

00:52:48.700 whatever that

00:52:49.180 is that

00:52:49.480 makes you

00:52:49.780 look like

00:52:50.100 a president.

00:52:52.860 Kamala

00:52:53.300 did.

00:52:54.000 Kamala

00:52:54.280 had the

00:52:54.580 thing.

00:52:55.600 She didn't

00:52:56.220 act like

00:52:56.660 a president,

00:52:57.760 but she

00:52:58.260 had sort

00:52:58.720 of the

00:52:59.080 charisma or

00:53:01.000 the vibe

00:53:01.460 or just

00:53:03.080 the feel

00:53:03.620 of it.

00:53:04.940 It doesn't.

00:53:07.140 But he

00:53:07.720 has lots

00:53:08.020 of good

00:53:08.260 points about

00:53:08.780 what the

00:53:09.140 Democrats

00:53:09.560 should have

00:53:09.840 done.

00:53:10.160 They should

00:53:10.420 have listened

00:53:10.680 to him.

00:53:11.820 Speaking of

00:53:12.420 old white

00:53:12.960 Democrats,

00:53:14.120 Carville is

00:53:14.900 James Carville

00:53:16.300 off the

00:53:17.060 reservation

00:53:17.500 again.

00:53:18.600 He says

00:53:19.080 that Trump,

00:53:20.180 what he calls

00:53:20.780 collaborators,

00:53:22.680 and I have

00:53:23.420 to wonder

00:53:23.760 if I'm

00:53:24.160 one of

00:53:24.440 them,

00:53:25.740 would he

00:53:26.200 consider me

00:53:26.960 a Trump

00:53:27.640 collaborator?

00:53:30.420 I mean,

00:53:30.820 I think

00:53:31.180 Bill Maher

00:53:32.160 considers me

00:53:32.860 on the

00:53:33.380 collaborator

00:53:34.740 team.

00:53:35.120 He doesn't

00:53:35.440 use that

00:53:35.820 word.

00:53:36.140 But would

00:53:38.160 Carville

00:53:38.500 consider me

00:53:39.140 a collaborator?

00:53:40.100 Because he

00:53:40.500 said the

00:53:40.880 collaborators

00:53:41.560 should have

00:53:42.680 their heads

00:53:43.200 shaved.

00:53:44.720 Okay,

00:53:45.100 I do need

00:53:45.560 to get my

00:53:45.900 head shaved.

00:53:46.940 Put in

00:53:47.460 orange pajamas.

00:53:48.620 Okay,

00:53:48.880 I like

00:53:49.200 orange,

00:53:49.980 and I do

00:53:50.380 like wearing

00:53:50.920 pajamas,

00:53:51.780 so it's

00:53:52.300 not so bad

00:53:52.820 so far.

00:53:53.920 Basically,

00:53:54.460 it's my

00:53:54.700 normal day

00:53:56.200 wearing pajamas

00:53:57.400 and having

00:53:57.820 a shaved

00:53:58.400 head.

00:53:59.800 And then

00:54:00.520 march down

00:54:01.280 Pennsylvania

00:54:02.000 Avenue.

00:54:02.600 Well,

00:54:03.420 I like

00:54:03.700 taking

00:54:03.880 walks.

00:54:05.220 I like

00:54:05.660 exercise.

00:54:06.140 Well,

00:54:06.280 so far

00:54:06.660 this is

00:54:06.960 good.

00:54:08.300 I'm

00:54:08.500 getting

00:54:08.660 exercises

00:54:09.300 in my

00:54:09.680 pajamas

00:54:10.080 and somebody

00:54:10.820 shaved my

00:54:11.360 head for

00:54:11.700 free.

00:54:13.300 Okay,

00:54:13.560 where's the

00:54:13.920 downside?

00:54:14.820 There's got

00:54:15.160 to be a

00:54:15.420 downside to

00:54:15.960 this.

00:54:16.500 Oh,

00:54:16.700 here it is.

00:54:17.460 It's

00:54:17.600 while the

00:54:17.920 public spits

00:54:18.800 on them.

00:54:21.400 Well,

00:54:21.860 that's not

00:54:22.240 good.

00:54:23.580 That's after

00:54:24.260 Trump leaves

00:54:24.860 office.

00:54:25.780 Well,

00:54:26.040 what I would

00:54:26.460 do is I

00:54:27.140 would declare,

00:54:28.420 if I were in

00:54:29.220 this situation,

00:54:30.400 I would declare

00:54:31.120 a COVID

00:54:31.880 emergency,

00:54:33.220 and I would

00:54:33.520 demand all the

00:54:34.220 Democrats wear

00:54:34.840 masks so that

00:54:36.340 they were only

00:54:36.800 spitting on the

00:54:37.500 inside of their

00:54:37.980 own mask.

00:54:39.340 Well,

00:54:39.680 I got some

00:54:40.220 exercise,

00:54:41.520 taking a walk

00:54:42.120 in my pajamas,

00:54:43.140 and somebody

00:54:43.600 shaved my

00:54:44.040 head for

00:54:44.340 free.

00:54:45.720 That's how

00:54:46.260 I'd play it.

00:54:48.180 So,

00:54:48.800 now,

00:54:51.020 if I were

00:54:51.560 to assume

00:54:52.200 that Carville

00:54:54.160 includes people

00:54:55.220 like me on

00:54:56.020 his collaborator

00:54:56.860 list,

00:54:57.600 what would

00:54:58.220 be my

00:54:58.680 incentive for

00:55:00.200 arguing that

00:55:00.920 Trump should

00:55:01.440 not have a

00:55:02.040 third term?

00:55:04.020 He just

00:55:04.880 gave me a

00:55:05.460 reason to

00:55:06.580 argue for

00:55:07.360 Trump's third

00:55:08.000 term,

00:55:08.720 because he's

00:55:09.700 basically saying,

00:55:11.160 it looks pretty

00:55:11.860 direct,

00:55:13.000 that I will

00:55:13.780 personally be

00:55:14.560 punished if I'm

00:55:15.920 alive,

00:55:16.820 and Trump

00:55:17.740 gets out of

00:55:18.300 office.

00:55:18.800 that I'll

00:55:19.500 be punished

00:55:20.080 for being

00:55:22.260 a collaborator.

00:55:24.920 Now,

00:55:25.720 unless he

00:55:26.200 wants to

00:55:26.640 define this

00:55:27.320 collaborator

00:55:28.060 thing a lot

00:55:29.240 more narrowly,

00:55:30.900 wouldn't you

00:55:31.380 think that

00:55:31.940 podcasters who

00:55:33.220 reliably support

00:55:36.020 him would be

00:55:37.220 called

00:55:37.460 collaborators?

00:55:38.020 if this were

00:55:40.000 Nazi Germany,

00:55:41.180 I'd be a

00:55:42.000 collaborator,

00:55:42.680 right?

00:55:43.420 Just because

00:55:44.040 I'm on a

00:55:44.500 team.

00:55:47.220 Well,

00:55:47.760 maybe it

00:55:48.760 could be that

00:55:49.340 Steve Bannon's

00:55:50.240 trying to stay

00:55:50.800 in a jail for

00:55:51.500 a second time,

00:55:52.300 and that he

00:55:53.260 knows the only

00:55:53.780 way to do it

00:55:54.380 is if Trump

00:55:54.920 stays in

00:55:55.360 office.

00:55:56.360 Because I do

00:55:57.200 believe that

00:55:58.300 these so-called

00:55:58.960 collaborators,

00:56:00.220 and Bannon would

00:56:01.240 certainly be on

00:56:01.940 that list,

00:56:02.580 even if I'm

00:56:03.180 not,

00:56:04.340 they would be

00:56:06.160 in for some

00:56:06.680 trouble.

00:56:07.480 And it could

00:56:07.920 be real-life

00:56:08.620 trouble,

00:56:09.260 as in go to

00:56:10.640 jail,

00:56:11.480 as in lose

00:56:12.100 everything you

00:56:12.660 have,

00:56:13.060 as in lose

00:56:13.640 your family.

00:56:15.760 Is that what

00:56:16.560 we're looking

00:56:16.960 at?

00:56:18.080 Because James

00:56:18.920 Carville,

00:56:19.520 if that's what

00:56:20.040 you're really

00:56:20.460 promising us,

00:56:21.620 if you're

00:56:22.040 promising us

00:56:22.820 that you

00:56:23.760 and your

00:56:24.240 clan are

00:56:27.540 going to

00:56:27.800 come after

00:56:28.300 Trump

00:56:28.640 collaborators,

00:56:29.440 and you're

00:56:29.760 not going

00:56:30.080 to define

00:56:30.540 in advance

00:56:31.100 what a

00:56:31.460 collaborator

00:56:31.960 is,

00:56:33.180 well,

00:56:33.540 you just

00:56:33.880 flipped me

00:56:34.340 to a

00:56:34.640 third term.

00:56:37.640 I'm going

00:56:38.180 to make

00:56:38.380 the change

00:56:38.780 right now.

00:56:39.860 As long

00:56:40.560 as this

00:56:40.980 fucking

00:56:41.340 asshole

00:56:41.780 is talking

00:56:42.360 like this,

00:56:43.260 I'm in

00:56:43.940 favor of

00:56:44.340 a third

00:56:44.700 term.

00:56:46.460 If you

00:56:47.080 can calm

00:56:47.580 down this

00:56:48.200 bullshit,

00:56:49.520 I'll be

00:56:49.900 on your

00:56:50.240 side.

00:56:51.180 No third

00:56:51.700 terms for

00:56:52.180 anybody.

00:56:53.120 That's where

00:56:53.740 I was ten

00:56:54.240 minutes ago.

00:56:55.340 Now I'm

00:56:55.720 looking at

00:56:56.020 this and

00:56:56.320 I'm saying,

00:56:57.380 fuck you.

00:56:59.540 Fuck you.

00:57:01.360 If you're

00:57:02.080 going to give

00:57:02.420 this vague

00:57:03.160 threat that

00:57:04.380 when Trump

00:57:05.120 leaves,

00:57:05.640 people like

00:57:06.300 me are

00:57:07.660 going to

00:57:07.920 be victimized,

00:57:11.100 yeah,

00:57:11.400 we're going

00:57:11.660 to go for

00:57:11.940 a third

00:57:12.240 term.

00:57:13.040 And that's

00:57:13.660 on you,

00:57:14.240 asshole.

00:57:15.240 That's all

00:57:16.100 on you,

00:57:16.640 asshole.

00:57:17.340 Because I

00:57:18.000 was absolutely

00:57:19.020 100% against

00:57:20.260 a third

00:57:20.640 term until

00:57:21.700 right fucking

00:57:22.420 now.

00:57:24.240 And the

00:57:24.620 longer I look

00:57:25.440 at this,

00:57:25.820 the madder I

00:57:26.440 get.

00:57:28.160 Yeah,

00:57:28.860 third term.

00:57:29.440 or shut

00:57:30.860 the fuck

00:57:31.540 up about

00:57:32.740 this

00:57:33.080 collaborator

00:57:34.160 getting spit

00:57:35.400 on shit.

00:57:36.220 You need

00:57:36.660 to take

00:57:36.980 that back

00:57:37.420 right away.

00:57:38.560 And until

00:57:38.980 he takes

00:57:39.380 it back,

00:57:40.740 I'm all

00:57:41.260 down on

00:57:41.600 third term.

00:57:44.840 So,

00:57:46.040 you've got to

00:57:46.460 put it at

00:57:48.180 stake now.

00:57:48.680 All right.

00:57:52.000 Apparently,

00:57:52.720 the heist

00:57:53.500 at the

00:57:53.920 Louvre,

00:57:54.420 where the

00:57:54.760 French

00:57:55.320 jewels

00:57:55.720 got stolen,

00:57:59.160 looks like

00:58:00.220 it was an

00:58:00.560 inside job.

00:58:01.880 Of course.

00:58:04.040 Don't you

00:58:04.700 always assume

00:58:05.240 it's an

00:58:05.600 inside job

00:58:06.280 when somebody

00:58:07.640 pulls off

00:58:08.240 an impressive

00:58:09.080 theft?

00:58:11.180 Yeah,

00:58:11.520 so they

00:58:11.860 think one

00:58:12.300 of the

00:58:12.760 insiders

00:58:13.640 told them

00:58:14.240 about the

00:58:14.660 security

00:58:15.080 problem

00:58:15.780 and that

00:58:17.860 that's how

00:58:18.240 it all

00:58:18.460 got done.

00:58:21.980 Moscow

00:58:22.500 successfully

00:58:23.340 tested some

00:58:24.180 new

00:58:24.460 nuclear

00:58:25.040 powered

00:58:26.300 cruise

00:58:26.800 missile.

00:58:27.840 I guess

00:58:28.220 because it's

00:58:28.760 nuclear powered

00:58:29.540 it can fly

00:58:30.120 around all

00:58:30.620 day.

00:58:31.720 And it

00:58:32.480 did.

00:58:33.640 So that's

00:58:34.220 scary.

00:58:36.940 We know

00:58:37.760 who the

00:58:38.200 donor was

00:58:38.980 who gave

00:58:40.100 the $130

00:58:40.700 million to

00:58:41.280 pay the

00:58:41.640 soldiers

00:58:42.120 during the

00:58:43.820 government

00:58:44.100 shutdown.

00:58:45.560 It was

00:58:46.380 billionaire

00:58:46.740 businessman

00:58:47.340 Timothy

00:58:47.920 Mellon

00:58:48.540 according

00:58:49.340 to the

00:58:49.760 New York

00:58:50.060 Post

00:58:50.420 Jeff

00:58:51.240 Earl.

00:58:52.700 I guess

00:58:53.440 he's a

00:58:53.960 billionaire

00:58:54.280 whose

00:58:54.840 family is

00:58:55.360 worth $43

00:58:56.100 billion or

00:58:56.720 something.

00:58:57.320 He's part of

00:58:57.740 the Mellon

00:58:58.260 Bank

00:58:58.740 heirs.

00:59:01.340 And he

00:59:02.540 just wanted

00:59:03.000 to pay

00:59:03.340 that.

00:59:04.440 So I

00:59:04.720 guess he

00:59:05.600 did.

00:59:06.200 But the

00:59:06.560 part that's

00:59:07.000 not being

00:59:07.460 reported is

00:59:08.520 that the

00:59:08.820 Pentagon

00:59:09.120 can't

00:59:09.600 spend it.

00:59:12.240 Apparently

00:59:12.760 there's a

00:59:13.540 regulation that

00:59:15.180 would not

00:59:15.560 allow them to

00:59:16.200 use that

00:59:16.560 money so

00:59:17.560 he gave

00:59:17.960 the money

00:59:18.360 but it's

00:59:19.360 not clear

00:59:19.760 that the

00:59:20.080 money can

00:59:20.420 be spent.

00:59:22.940 And that

00:59:23.640 ladies and

00:59:24.160 gentlemen

00:59:24.460 is everything

00:59:27.440 I wanted to

00:59:28.020 tell you

00:59:28.320 today.

00:59:29.860 Not bad

00:59:30.560 for a

00:59:30.860 Sunday.

00:59:32.240 I stretched

00:59:32.880 that lack

00:59:33.480 of news

00:59:34.020 all the way

00:59:34.680 to top

00:59:35.660 of the

00:59:35.860 hour.

00:59:36.560 But I'm

00:59:37.000 going to

00:59:37.240 say a few

00:59:37.920 words privately

00:59:38.580 to the

00:59:39.240 beloved

00:59:40.240 local

00:59:41.420 subscribers

00:59:42.020 who get a

00:59:43.160 little bit

00:59:43.460 extra.

00:59:43.760 last night

00:59:45.540 we did

00:59:47.680 another

00:59:47.960 drawing

00:59:48.340 session

00:59:48.740 in the

00:59:49.100 man cave

00:59:49.680 where I

00:59:52.160 do some

00:59:55.100 writing and

00:59:55.640 some drawing.

00:59:56.880 So I'm

00:59:57.900 loving my

00:59:58.460 new device.

00:59:59.940 It's a

01:00:00.260 necklace that

01:00:01.500 holds my

01:00:02.220 phone so

01:00:03.960 I can show

01:00:04.560 you what my

01:00:04.960 hands are

01:00:05.340 doing when

01:00:05.700 I'm drawing.

01:00:07.060 People seem

01:00:07.920 to love it

01:00:08.740 because

01:00:10.140 it's some

01:00:11.500 kind of

01:00:11.880 calming vibe.

01:00:13.760 So it's

01:00:14.860 got some

01:00:15.180 kind of

01:00:15.480 ASMR

01:00:15.940 quality to

01:00:16.800 it.

01:00:16.980 Most of

01:00:17.280 the time

01:00:17.520 I'm not

01:00:17.860 talking.

01:00:19.440 But when

01:00:20.500 I do I'm

01:00:21.140 telling you

01:00:21.600 what I'm

01:00:21.940 doing with

01:00:22.340 the drawing.

01:00:23.860 So I'll

01:00:24.120 say things

01:00:24.580 like well

01:00:25.020 I'll flip

01:00:25.400 this around

01:00:26.040 and turn

01:00:27.180 this backwards

01:00:28.040 and the

01:00:28.840 still bursts

01:00:29.440 a little bit

01:00:29.900 too big

01:00:30.380 I'll shrink

01:00:30.820 him down.

01:00:32.200 So it's

01:00:32.580 sort of a

01:00:33.280 Bob Ross

01:00:34.260 situation.

01:00:37.300 Anyway

01:00:37.740 it's very

01:00:38.680 popular but

01:00:39.320 we don't

01:00:39.600 have a lot

01:00:40.060 of people

01:00:40.360 who watch

01:00:40.720 it.

01:00:41.600 They mostly

01:00:42.480 hang out

01:00:42.860 with each

01:00:43.140 other.

01:00:43.760 They chat

01:00:44.220 with each

01:00:44.560 other while

01:00:44.940 they're

01:00:45.080 watching me

01:00:45.520 draw.

01:00:47.100 Yep it's
