00:00:21.560

00:00:29.200
being annoying that you have to get my salt gun and zap it all right you guys
0.94
00:00:38.020
all good I got comments you don't perfect sort of work close enough close enough
00:00:55.720
all right everybody get ready I'm ready if you're ready well good morning and
00:01:07.420
welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with
00:01:11.140
Scott Adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance
00:01:15.820
on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with
00:01:20.860
their tiny shiny human brains well all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a
1.00
00:01:26.500
glass a tank or a chalice or stein a canteen jug or a flask a vessel of any kind
00:01:31.480
and fill it with your favorite liquid like coffee and join me now for the
00:01:35.480
unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing makes everything better it's
00:01:38.980
called that's right simultaneous it happens now I'm sipping like a Trump well let's
00:01:52.540
see what else is happening today after we do a reframe from my book reframe your
00:01:58.720
brain which is changing lives all over the place you can get it on Amazon and only
00:02:05.560
Amazon as it turns out probably all right here's one of my favorites you could call
00:02:14.620
it the shelf space reframe or you could give another name but the the usual frame
00:02:20.500
is that if you have some negative thoughts you want to stop thinking about
00:02:24.580
them right some some of you I've completely changed your life with this
00:02:30.040
reframe some of you have heard it before it just makes sense right if you have
00:02:34.720
negative thoughts the obvious solution for negative thoughts is think fewer
00:02:39.760
negative thoughts but it turns out that your brain doesn't work that way if you
00:02:44.380
try to think fewer negative thoughts you're probably gonna think more more of
00:02:49.420
them not less of them because then you're obsessing on it so here's the other
00:02:53.220
way to approach it this is a reframe instead of trying to stop thinking about
00:02:58.220
negative thoughts you you can't subtract negative thoughts but you can crowd them
00:03:04.160
out that's what the shelf space is all about if I told you hey I'm gonna make
00:03:10.580
you think about your favorite thing all day you're gonna think about petting
00:03:14.460
cats and eating delicious food and having great intimate relationships with
00:03:19.280
people you love and let's just say I got you know I got right into your business
00:03:24.080
and just made you think about all those things there are only so many hours in
00:03:28.340
a day if I make you use some of the hours to think about things you love there'll be
00:03:34.100
fewer fewer hours left for negative stuff so don't try to unthink you can't do it
00:03:41.420
don't try to think less of a thing you can't do it try to think more of things you can do
00:03:49.160
that think more of things that are positive more of things that you want
00:03:53.660
more of things you've enjoyed more of things that inspire you more of things
00:03:57.800
that you you just love and you will crowd out that time you wasted with
00:04:03.740
negative thoughts that's your reframe for the day all right let's talk about the
00:04:08.480
news you might have heard that the government has reopened well so what the
00:04:14.060
hell was that hold on the fly has landed we're gonna try no that didn't work we're
00:04:23.720
gonna be trying some anti-fly oh hold on hold on hold on hold on damn it I'm not as fast as a fly what
00:04:35.240
was I thinking so the government it really is gonna be in my face the entire show wow wow
00:04:43.760
um government reopened nobody cared we all sort of expected it would go the way it went and here
00:04:52.820
it is now it's open and what did we learn and nothing but the the best lesson that came out of
00:04:59.420
this I think came from uh Greg Gottfeld he was saying on the five that if you happen to be on
00:05:04.940
what you consider the winning side of the government reopening and the Republicans probably think they're
00:05:11.400
on the winning side there uh it's a mistake to say the other side caved do you all understand why
00:05:18.560
it's it's really important if you expect to work with these people ever again
00:05:25.520
and and you get a good outcome from one negotiation in other words you get what you want don't say
00:05:31.940
they caved even if you're just an observer and you want more of whatever they cave to you don't have to
00:05:41.020
be part of the process don't use that word don't say that they they lost like dogs what good is that to
00:05:48.740
you it feels good for like a second and then you can never work with them again but also you can never
00:05:54.800
work with anybody else again because anybody who sees you act like that is going to be like oh
00:05:59.700
so let me get this straight uh if if I negotiate in good you know good faith and I give up a little
00:06:09.460
behind my back or even publicly they're going to call me some kind of caving loser why would I do
00:06:16.240
anything for you so Trump is the champion as I've often said of making the largest gap between keeping
00:06:24.240
making him happy and what would happen if he didn't make him happy so by reopening the government
00:06:30.720
in a sense they made him happy and correct me if I'm wrong will you did Trump ever say they caved
00:06:37.660
because I'll be real disappointed if he did but I'll bet he didn't can you give me a fact check on that
00:06:46.220
it's only the pundits who said he caved right because I feel like Trump would be way too smart
00:06:53.180
to say that all it would do is give up some power why would he just give away some power
00:06:58.800
you know far better would be to reward the people instead of mocking them you should reward the people
00:07:06.560
who ended up on his side of this so that's what you should learn out of this the shutdown itself was
00:07:13.240
just a another symbol of the total incompetence of our system uh no more rumble streams I've heard
00:07:23.460
some people say there's something different on rumble and I don't know the answer to it but I
00:07:27.940
believe there might be two rumble streams that started at the same time and that's sort of a new
00:07:33.860
thing one of them maybe isn't real so it's possible that you click the wrong rumble stream but I'm not
00:07:41.360
positive about that there's just something going on that I don't know x changed this user interface
00:07:47.200
today so uh it was quite an interesting morning all right here's another one another persuasion lesson
00:07:55.380
you ready for this um there's a uh clip of me talking about this uh Jason Cohen did a clip on this
00:08:03.940
and uh it's a clip in where I'm talking about how it's a mistake for the democrats to say that they
00:08:11.480
need a fighter do you know why look compare these three things make America great again make America
00:08:21.320
healthy again or we need a fighter we've got to fight fight fight fight which one of those are useful
00:08:31.080
all right here's the reframe this one's actually really important if you if you get this and you
00:08:38.240
know incorporate it into your future life you're going to be way better these these uh slogans like
00:08:46.800
make America great again and make America healthy again and fight fight fight if it's the democrats doing
00:08:53.840
the fight thing what are they going to get their affirmation is fighting so if you focus on something
00:09:02.000
and repeat it over and over what's that called it's an affirmation an affirmation is uh concentrating on
00:09:09.940
something and really focusing on it because there is something that's semi magic about that now I don't
00:09:16.460
know that's real magic I just think that you you get better results when you're super focused on what you
00:09:21.880
want but just think what the two sides are focused on so Trump focuses on make America great again
00:09:30.620
and then you watch and you say oh our borders are better and you know there are a number of things
00:09:35.560
you could put into that category make America healthy again that's a good affirmation isn't it
00:09:41.660
that's just like one of the best affirmations you could ever have but what about fight okay this fly is
00:09:49.840
just eating me alive right now you just will not stay off me it's going to be me versus the fly in a minute
00:09:56.000
um so here's your lesson don't accidentally do an affirmation affirmations are pretty powerful
00:10:04.900
even if their only effect is not magic but rather the psychology effect that has in the person who's
00:10:11.540
doing it so if you're doing the right affirmation make America healthy make America great there's a better
00:10:17.980
chance you'll get that thing or at least move toward it if you pick the wrong affirmation you're
00:10:24.120
going to still get the thing you affirmed a fight the Democrats are actually asking for fighting do you
00:10:32.320
think they'll get it yes yes they actually get fights and when we look at the protests somebody said
00:10:39.340
there's another Tesla protests coming I don't know about that but but if there is I'm sure there'll be a fight
00:10:45.720
right so there's your lesson don't do accidental affirmations and that's what the the Democrats
00:10:54.480
messaging is so broken that they're accidentally asking for the worst thing that anybody could ask
00:11:00.500
for a fight if they had been asking for a victory I might be all in oh victory but a fight who asked for
00:11:11.700
the fight Democrats don't do that well cash Patel has excitedly announced and he's way too excited about
00:11:22.020
this for what I think is reality that China has agreed to turn off the pipeline of fentanyl precursors
00:11:30.320
because Mexico and their cartels they can't make fentanyl unless they have the raw ingredients I guess
00:11:37.920
are about 13 potential raw ingredients and they've been coming from
00:11:42.840
may have been success I may have gotten that fly all right I don't see him yet we'll let you know very exciting
00:11:58.680
so and then also part of that deal allegedly according to cash Patel is that China would
00:12:07.440
I guess watch closer or crack down on several industries that would be relevant to making the
00:12:14.000
precursors now why would this be different than the other times that China said they would do exactly this
00:12:21.880
what why do we think this would work I have no idea I don't even understand the story it's not like
00:12:31.640
it's the first time that China said oh yeah we're totally gonna stop these precursors now do you think we
00:12:41.560
can get through the show without me mentioning Charlie Brown in the football I won't do it I will not
00:12:49.720
mention Charlie Brown in the football but this looks exactly like Charlie Brown in the football damn it I
00:12:56.340
couldn't do it I couldn't do it I just I couldn't not mention Charlie Brown in the football you tell me am I
00:13:05.140
missing something is there some reason I shouldn't believe at this time well why would they tell the truth this
00:13:12.480
time oh he's back I didn't get the fly damn it or he's brought a friend he's in full attack mode now
00:13:21.860
damn it I'm gonna have to give the fly a name we're gonna call him Carl it'll be Carl the fly so that
00:13:33.100
when you hear me kill him it will be more satisfying because I'll be killing somebody with a name Carl
00:13:38.980
you're dead well anyway so yeah post on x also wondering if we offered something to China that's
00:13:49.340
not public for example is it a coincidence this is not my original idea not my original thought but is
00:14:00.040
it a coincidence that we agreed that China can have 600,000 students in the US and then China gets
00:14:11.660
flexible about fentanyl do you think that's what we traded oh god it just won my ear oh man
00:14:22.400
I want that fly so dead Carl it's you and me now Carl the fly you will not live till lunchtime
00:14:32.560
I swear it I swear I'll take you down you will not ruin my live stream you're just a fly
00:14:40.400
you're doing a really good job of ruining it so far but I'll get you I'll get you anyway what do you
00:14:49.300
think do you think that there's a secret ingredient a secret arrangement and that that's why the fentanyl
00:14:56.420
thing looks real this time because obviously cash Patel is aware that they've promised before and not
00:15:03.560
delivered right it's not like I know and cash doesn't know that they've made this promise before
00:15:11.640
so something's different or he wouldn't act this confident I feel so one of the good things about
00:15:19.520
having a good reputation for being smart like cash is that I don't automatically start with well you
00:15:26.700
must be an idiot and then reason from there I start with the assumption that he's well informed and
0.78
00:15:33.840
brilliant and then I reason from there if you start with him being well informed and brilliant and I
00:15:40.760
think that's fair there must be something that China offered that they've never offered before
00:15:46.820
so we'll see have you seen any of the new clips with Katie Couric remember her when she was on NBC
00:15:56.680
and she was sort of a credible you know one of the top hosts well she's sort of transformed into some
00:16:03.920
kind of a golem and she's just sort of an anti-Trump troll now and she even looks like she's turning into a troll
0.97
00:16:15.420
so I'm going to do my Katie Couric impression so oh my precious yeah so wouldn't you agree that
00:16:29.740
Donald Trump has stolen our democracy uh no but wouldn't you agree he's an authoritarian
00:16:38.000
no not really but wouldn't you agree he's probably murdered children probably right right so it all just
00:16:48.720
looks sort of weird and troll like so she made the mistake of inviting uh John Fetterman on
00:16:57.580
whatever that podcast is that she's doing whatever it's called whatever the fuck wow um and she asked
0.96
00:17:06.900
Fetterman uh repeatedly she tried to get him to say that Trump was a fascist like I need that I need that
00:17:15.920
clip for my show call him a fascist Fetterman would not take the bait and he said a quote
00:17:22.780
I think at this point right now we're not in an autocracy we're in a democracy oh well I'm so sad now
00:17:32.600
I'm a sad troll I like to hear that it's an autocracy don't say it's a democracy that makes me sad
00:17:39.400
make me happy but then Couric said but would you concede that some of the things that he is doing
00:17:47.900
talking about Trump are clearly anti-democratic and also are potentially even unconstitutional
00:17:55.400
um and Fetterman said we happen to have a different view of these things
00:18:01.480
I don't call people fascists or Nazis or compare people to Hitler
00:18:05.380
boom boom do you know what that's called that's what we call the high ground maneuver
00:18:14.500
oh there's a name for it there's a name for it and if you can pull off a high ground maneuver
00:18:21.160
in any context you know work or politics or your private life if you can do this what he just did
00:18:29.180
you're going to win almost everything because the the high ground approach is unassailable by
00:18:37.480
definition it's the one that you can't get higher than it's the high ground so what would be a higher
00:18:43.360
high ground than uh refusing to debate whether someone is Hitler that's pretty good and and he he's
0.69
00:18:52.460
inclusive he goes I don't call people fascists Nazis or compare people to Hitler now in a sense what he
00:18:59.040
did was he compared himself to Katie Couric he didn't compare Trump to Hitler but he did compare
00:19:07.840
Katie Couric to some kind of weird troll who would compare other people to Hitler
1.00
00:19:11.460
so so that happened so Fetterman for the win it's weird that Fetterman walks into that conversation
00:19:21.600
as the one that we should be mocking as looking like uh I know Shrek or something but but he's done
00:19:29.680
such a good job of redeeming himself that to me he doesn't look like Shrek anymore like that just
00:19:35.820
went away now I just see a guy who looks like it looks like he's trying to help it looks like he's just
00:19:44.200
trying to make the country better so again I'm no idiot I know that he's not who I want from my next
00:19:51.300
president I know you know his policies would not match up with what my first choices would be
00:19:57.580
but that doesn't take away from him the skill that he brings to the game so there are some people I talk
00:20:05.100
about because of their skill level and other people I talk about because I like their policies
00:20:09.320
so he's he's a skill level guy I'm not going to say he doesn't have skill I refuse to act as if
00:20:16.340
one of the most skilled people in the game is not there so I'm going to talk about him all right
00:20:24.300
uh apparently I didn't know about this but the Trump administration is cracking down on oh by the
00:20:31.540
way we'll get to the obscene stuff don't worry we'll get to it um Trump administration is cracking
00:20:37.600
down on tunnels I guess uh there are quite a few tunnels under the border uh no surprise uh but
00:20:46.300
what I didn't know this is new is that there's uh some technology referred to as the persistent
00:20:52.000
surveillance and detection system the PDS persistent surveillance mean persistent meaning it's just always
00:20:59.560
on um and apparently there's a way to upgrade it so we have some cool technology for identifying
00:21:06.660
tunnels that's kind of cool I didn't know how much we already had but apparently we're in good shape
00:21:13.180
on tunnels uh technology wise but we're going to do even more um Joe Rogan just had a show his guest
00:21:23.780
was uh Jeff Dye comedian Jeff Dye and uh I thought Rogan had one of the best um observations or insights
00:21:32.220
that I've seen in a long time so just sort of just sort of revel in how smart this is and part of the
00:21:40.500
reason I I present it this way is that part of the magic and skill of Joe Rogan is not making you know
00:21:50.520
how much smarter he is than you because it would be off-putting if if you just knew how much smarter he
00:21:57.960
was he's really smart but he you know he lives uh what I call the you know the every man life plus
00:22:06.200
you know he's like the every man with lots better toys and better cars and stuff uh but that's part
00:22:12.560
of his magic that he never leaves that frame he's just the guy you want to hang out with he also is
00:22:19.180
super smart and it comes out in little ways that you're not expecting here's here's the example
00:22:24.260
so he talked about I think I'm I'm going to paraphrase this but I hope I'm doing it right
00:22:30.480
and his idea was that in order for uh Obama and his his crowd to sort of divert from the the uh Russia
00:22:42.180
Russia gate hoax which they were behind that the fine people hoax was actually the hoax to divert you
00:22:49.960
from the other hoax and I never really thought about it that way but that does kind of fit doesn't
00:22:56.880
it that the fine people hoax was the hoax to get you off the other hoax and that their entire structure
00:23:03.120
is you know hoax to hoax to hoax and that uh and more importantly Joe believes that there's no way that
00:23:12.560
Obama was unaware that it was a hoax would you agree with that there's no way that Obama thought
00:23:21.360
that was true he absolutely knew he was spreading the hoax why else would you do it I mean you do it
00:23:27.860
to win but it also is the perfect distraction so what do you think when you when you think about the
00:23:34.580
fact that Obama personally was probably behind the Russia gate thing and then personally pushed the
00:23:44.160
uh fine people hoax to help cover up the other hoax that is some of the worst shit I've ever seen in my
00:23:51.460
life because that wasn't just about him and Trump which would be bad enough that was about us
00:23:59.380
when I say us I mean my audience right now and all the people who were potentially Trump supporters
00:24:06.960
that was about us he threw us under the bus right you can't just say that the guy you support is a
00:24:16.320
Nazi without that automatically painting every single person who supports him so we had to live with that
00:24:22.960
we had to live painted as a bunch of neo-Nazi supporters and and we had to like wake up in the
00:24:30.820
morning and know that he had just told half the country that we were neo-Nazi supporters and the
00:24:39.180
more prominent you were as a pro-Trump-er people like me the more sure the people were that you you were
00:24:46.560
a neo-Nazi because of the hoax um it really is one of the worst things I've ever seen that didn't
00:24:52.920
directly involve violence I mean I think it inspired violence you know you never know that
00:24:57.920
for sure but it looks like it did but am I wrong that the if you add the two hoaxes together
00:25:05.460
they're unambiguously worse than anything I've ever seen in politics just anything yeah I mean
00:25:12.560
I'm not talking about world war ii atrocities and stuff we're not comparing that stuff but just in the
00:25:18.060
political realm you know minus gross over violence that's the worst thing I've heard I suppose yeah
00:25:27.440
I suppose all right let's be fair let's be fair about this it's not worse than slavery
00:25:34.200
it's not worse than Jim Crow so let me let me be a little more commonsensical about it it's not worse
0.75
00:25:42.940
than those things but for the ordinary politics it's worse it's just worse than anything I've seen
00:25:48.680
just unbelievably despicable all right here's another fun story Eric Swalwell who happens to be
00:25:55.480
my representative I believe um does not have a California address
00:26:00.620
now I don't know that that's true so I would wait for a confirmation that the you know the fact
00:26:08.540
checkers are agreeing with us but according to the gateway pundit Joel Gilbert uh nobody nobody has
00:26:15.920
yet found an address for him in California but they do have an address I guess he claims
00:26:21.280
but at that address some other family has lived there for years
00:26:25.180
um so it looks like he only has a home in Washington DC or somewhere around there and that
00:26:32.800
he would not actually even be qualified allegedly even to be in office how many of you think that's
00:26:41.580
true uh this one's uh I think I'd wait on this one because the story is based on we can't find
00:26:49.420
something what they can't find is a valid address for him in California but is that is that a solid
00:26:58.860
argument we can't find it I I wouldn't automatically believe a story that's based on I can't find it
00:27:06.720
because somebody might find it but we can wait and see if he claims he has an address if he claims he
00:27:13.840
has a valid address we can just check the address if you want I can go over and look because uh
00:27:18.780
apparently he claims he lives in Livermore which is walking distance in that direction I I can literally
00:27:25.460
walk the Livermore I wouldn't right now but I could uh so I could I could go knock on his door
00:27:31.920
I'm not going to do that of course but anyway um let's talk about the new dust up with the Epstein
00:27:40.640
files this feels like Groundhog Day doesn't it every time Epstein files comes up all right so the basic
00:27:47.320
ideas everybody knows who Epstein is you all know that Trump doesn't want the files released
00:27:53.680
um which makes him look guilty of something um Republicans apparently are trying to back the
00:28:02.700
president on that and not release him but Democrats want it all released and uh they got enough votes
00:28:10.480
in the house with a few crossovers that would not surprise you so we got Marjorie Taylor Greene voting for
00:28:18.780
uh disclosure I believe uh Boebert voting for disclosure and does anybody feel like arguing with
00:28:27.480
either one of those if Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene say you know I've lived a certain life I don't
00:28:34.980
have to get into the details right I I've experienced a certain life you need to make this transparent
00:28:41.340
you know what I'm talking about right I feel like those two have every right to ask for maximum
00:28:48.500
transparency no matter who the victim is or or no matter who gets hurt I I think they deserve
00:28:55.080
I think they deserve maximum transparency now Thomas Massey also wants the maximum transparency so he's part of
00:29:03.560
that and and he's got his own drama with Trump Trump wants to primary him uh not just for this but
00:29:10.660
for you know not voting uh for for the same side as much as he should according to Trump so that's the
00:29:19.060
setup the setup is it's it's uh it's getting some Republicans to be mad at other Republicans if if you find
00:29:27.720
a way to be mad at Boebert or MTG over this you should check your work you have to you have to let
00:29:35.560
them just experience this and act on it the way they feel best you just stay out of it they have they
00:29:44.100
have the right to go hard on us and they are um but there are all kinds of twists and turns so what's new is I
00:29:54.620
I guess I found some new emails that uh include a journalist who's an anti-Trump
00:30:01.480
well-known anti-Trump journalist uh Wolf is his name w-o-l-f-f so Michael Wolf um and he's written
00:30:11.880
anti-Trump books and he's been on TV doing anti-Trump um interviews for years and years and years
00:30:19.100
and then there's allegedly um something from one of the victims which we believe is Virginia
00:30:28.000
Guilfray who allegedly according to one of the emails spent uh hours with Trump now let's look
00:30:36.560
at some of these accusations individually how credible are they how credible are the are the
00:30:43.520
accusations if they involve Epstein this journalist Wolf and then one of the victims Virginia Guilfray
00:30:52.660
who is not only deceased tragically but also was famous for having accused um um what's the name
00:31:03.980
yeah she she's made an accusation of Dershowitz that she later completely reversed and said oh I just
00:31:13.040
had had you confused with somebody now I of course will never know what is true or what is false of
00:31:20.280
any of the Epstein stuff but what we can say if somebody is known and admits that they once made an
00:31:28.760
accusation that they later completely reversed wouldn't it be fair to say that person has no
00:31:35.000
credibility even if it's true they don't have credibility because they've told the story and
00:31:41.180
they've reversed it once so you can't trust that person so you've got one person who sadly is you know
00:31:48.420
a victim of course so she's a victim first but there's no reason to believe anything that she said
00:31:55.700
about anything and I guess the accusation is that one of the victims which we believe is this
00:32:02.300
Virginia but we don't know for sure uh may have spent a few hours with Trump what does that mean
00:32:08.320
what does it mean that they spent a few hours together there's no accusation that they were doing
00:32:14.640
anything naughty and indeed she has said in public before she passed she said that he never did anything
00:32:21.620
that Trump was never even accused by her of doing anything inappropriate
00:32:26.700
so what would it mean that they spend several hours together well I don't know the answer to the
00:32:33.260
question but one of the ways that these hoaxes get created is if the audience can't understand what
00:32:40.240
other explanation there would be so when you hear well Trump might have spent hours with this
00:32:46.420
you know underage female in some context where does your brain automatically go it automatically
1.00
00:32:54.400
goes to the worst case scenario flyers back but and that's how the hoaxes work if you can't even
00:33:04.220
imagine what would be another reason that those two would spend time together so I'm just going to give
00:33:09.980
you an easy obvious alternative explanation doesn't mean it's true I'm just demonstrating that it would
00:33:19.800
be easy to imagine something that would be hard to imagine once you hear it once yeah I'm going to tell
00:33:26.300
you what it is you'll just always be able to imagine it all right uh Epstein had a private plane we know
00:33:34.360
that people like Trump and other people sometimes took his private plane uh to go where they were
00:33:40.940
going to go anyway so it's just sort of a convenience something rich people do hey take my plane it is not
00:33:48.420
uncommon and I know this from actual experience that if you're going to take somebody's private plane
00:33:54.320
somewhere often there's someone else who needs to go there at the same time and somebody will say
00:34:01.420
oh do you mind uh if somebody else is on the plane this is literally something that happened to me
00:34:07.620
do you mind if somebody else is on the plane of course not it's not even my plane of course what
00:34:12.880
would happen if Trump said can I take your plane you know mine's mine's being serviced do you mind if I
00:34:19.860
take your plane to New Jersey imagine Epstein says yes and then an hour later Virginia Guilfrey comes and
00:34:27.640
says um I need to like visit my sister in New York or something can I take the plane and then Epstein
00:34:35.940
would say oh yeah um Trump's going to be taking the plane to New Jersey uh we'll just pick an airport
00:34:43.660
that's right for both of you and you can take the plane now imagine that both of them are on the private
00:34:48.960
plane and uh Trump's just minding his own business or who he's with whoever he's with and she's just
00:34:56.160
another passenger on the plane and it's a several hour plane trip would they talk probably would it
00:35:05.540
be a scandal if he chatted with somebody else who happened to be on the plane for completely innocent
00:35:11.720
reasons or just going to the same ish destination there would be no problem with that at all he would
00:35:18.500
just be friendly like he always is and just talking to who's on the plane now I'm not I'm not claiming that
00:35:25.440
that's what happened but can't you so easily imagine that they would spend time together that
00:35:32.520
neither of them planned to do because they were just sort of in that little universe and maybe
00:35:37.440
the plane was a convenience etc so the first thing you need to know is that if you're missing all the
00:35:43.480
details of who the person is and why they spend time and what they were doing together it's not really
00:35:49.540
a story the most basic things you would need to know to know if there's a problem are missing from
00:35:56.740
the story is he accused of doing anything no was there a perfectly good alternative reason for why
00:36:04.520
they were talking probably all right the other thing let's see what else is the new accusation
00:36:11.000
uh oh i guess somewhere michael wolf uh suggested to epstein that they blackmail trump
00:36:20.320
so if you wondered is wolf a dependable nice guy he's literally in writing suggested that epstein use
00:36:29.880
leverage against trump based on i don't know something that trump knew or did and then there's an
00:36:37.740
accusation that trump knew about some some bad behavior but the bad behavior that he allegedly knew
00:36:45.880
about is not specified so what are we talking about so there was something about women so we know the
0.97
00:36:54.600
domain has something about women which might mean underage and apparently trump was complaining about
00:37:01.820
something that epstein was doing with with females and they were going to try to use that against him
0.83
00:37:09.320
somehow now what exactly is the crime there it depends how much he knew right it also makes me wonder
00:37:19.680
where does your responsibility begin if you heard a rumor but you don't know for sure
00:37:27.820
have you ever thought about that have you i remember once many years ago there was somebody i worked with
00:37:35.320
who started suspecting their own husband of being a serial killer like actually a literal one and a
00:37:45.340
specific one who had killed some children and she actually had some suspicion based on some items that
00:37:53.540
she found in a house or something that he was the one who had killed the children now what was her
00:37:59.080
responsibility it's her husband and she has no proof but she has sort of these suggestive little things
00:38:08.120
that make her think huh i can't really rule out that my husband might be the serial killer
00:38:14.000
now is it her responsibility to turn in her husband because there because he might be he might be a serial
00:38:21.660
killer i don't know now let's take that same thinking to trump suppose people had said to trump
00:38:30.260
and i'm sure there were whispers you know you better watch out for this guy he likes him too young
00:38:36.820
well what's that mean does that mean he's having sex with him too young or that he's just spending too
00:38:43.880
much time with people who are too young or that he's trafficking them suppose you didn't know what
00:38:49.240
that meant but somebody had told you somebody credible had told you you know you watch out for
00:38:55.100
that guy there's something in that domain we don't know the specifics but he's doing something in that
00:39:01.660
domain that you want to stay away from let's say that's all trump knew would he have a responsibility
00:39:10.180
to do what turn him into authorities or should he just ban him from his own operation which apparently
00:39:17.900
he did uh so that's not his problem what do you think so that's a real question because i don't think
00:39:28.320
there's any sort of standard for when you have enough suspicion to publicly blame somebody of being a
00:39:36.640
pedophile like that's got to be right at the top of the list of you better have some real good proof
00:39:45.820
if i seem parched just because one of my meds makes me dehydrated
00:39:56.260
anyway so if you look at the things that trump is being accused of with these new emails they're
00:40:05.260
sort of a lot of nothing but the democrats can make it sound like something
00:40:11.440
and it does make you wonder is it a coincidence that this pops up right around the time that trump
00:40:18.500
seems to have this victory with opening the government and things seem to be going his way
00:40:23.400
and then oh suddenly suddenly there's baseless accusations and hoaxes again surprise all right
00:40:32.800
um so i would say if you didn't know that michael wolf is an anti-trumper who is in favor of
00:40:41.160
blackmail according to the emails and hung around with jeffrey epstein shouldn't that be enough
00:40:47.220
to not trust him uh and the other person who would know enough has passed away so
00:40:56.140
um and uh byron york had a similar observation he said on x perhaps the most interesting news and of
00:41:05.220
the epstein releases today is that anti-trump author michael wolf was an epstein advisor and
00:41:12.280
strategist so as as much as michael wolf might want to use this situation to shmear
00:41:20.160
uh trump reputationally how do you how do you get past being epstein's advisor and strategist
00:41:29.420
how do you explain that away how do you put that on your wikipedia page i don't know i feel like
00:41:38.860
i feel like a wolf is not going to come out of this very well all right so i would uh i'm going to
00:41:45.960
frame this i'm going to reframe this okay i would say that the new information uh the new emails do not
00:41:54.460
have legal weight in other words they there's nothing there that would trigger any kind of a
00:42:00.600
legal process they do not have legal weight what they do have is gossip weight meaning that they
00:42:08.140
will trigger gossip and they will trigger hoaxes and they will trigger false beliefs and everything else
00:42:13.960
so this is a gossip level story it's not a it's not a department of justice level story
00:42:21.620
this is gossip level and once you realize it's gossip level and you realize that the timing is
00:42:28.440
kind of convenient you know takes a little the glow off of trump's recent successes
00:42:34.280
now you can sort of see it in its proper context um i don't know if you noticed that the story seemed
00:42:42.360
to have been ignored by the right-leaning media this morning so i you know when i first turned on
00:42:49.180
the news i saw cnn and they were talking about epstein i thought oh my goodness there's another
00:42:56.320
epstein thing so since i prefer my news from other sources although i i like sampling cnn they're doing
00:43:03.860
a better job lately uh i jump over to fox news because i'm thinking well obviously you know they're
00:43:12.080
going to have to cover this as a big story and it wasn't yeah i'm sure they talked about it before and
00:43:17.060
after but did anybody notice that the bubbles formed and i would think that a whole lot of pro-trump
00:43:26.980
people realized that if they had given this um actual weight or credibility that trump would come after them
00:43:35.900
so hard it would be a big mistake so it could be that we're seeing a signal that trump has now so much
00:43:46.400
influence over the the right-leaning media that they completely stayed away from the the ticking time
00:43:53.020
bomb of another epstein story and by the way it doesn't seem like it's higher than gossip level
00:44:00.980
so you know you you can understand why they would de-emphasize something that's only gossip level
00:44:07.360
but the left will be all over it thomas massey is all over it you can see why thomas massey and trump
00:44:16.720
will probably not become friends anytime soon can you imagine being trump and then seeing a guy
00:44:24.380
pushing this like i say it's a completely different story when bober and mtg push a story about a you
00:44:33.540
know a male potential abuser accused abuser convicted abuser um they have every right like they have every
00:44:43.260
ethical moral right but uh i don't know what uh what massey and trump are going to do in the future
00:44:50.380
all right apparently trump would have to sign the bill this is the funny part don't we assume that
00:44:58.760
no matter what happens we're not going to see the files because the senate would have to agree
00:45:03.960
i don't know if that's possible and then trump would have to sign it uh because they don't have
00:45:10.940
enough votes to overcome a you know presidential veto so as long as you know for sure that trump's going
00:45:18.600
veto it and you know for sure they don't have votes to get past the veto i don't think right am i wrong
00:45:24.640
about that oh i could be wrong about that huh there's some possibility that the republicans will
00:45:30.460
just say all right screw it we can't deal with this every day for the rest of our lives we're just
00:45:36.220
going to overcome the veto and let's just see what's there now the real question is why would trump
00:45:42.660
want you not to see these files that's the thing we most want to know right and unfortunately there
00:45:49.420
are too many reasons that it could be so what are the reasons one one is that you know there's
00:45:55.180
something bad in there about him that's the obvious one um but what if the only bad part is that he knew
00:46:02.320
more than um you knew he knew about what epstein was up to how much would that bother you let's say he
00:46:10.900
knew more than you knew he knew but he still didn't know like he didn't have any he didn't witness
00:46:17.120
anything he didn't have any perfect source that he knew was true it's just he just sort of knew
00:46:23.640
because if you're smart and you're worldly and you're around things you sort of know
00:46:28.080
right so it might be that he just doesn't want people to know that
00:46:32.900
uh a reasonable person could have deduced that there's a bigger problem than maybe it was obvious
00:46:41.040
on the surface um could it be that the it's some kind of intel connection thing and there's some
00:46:49.740
intel agency that doesn't want this to come out so trump might be just uh supporting his cia or maybe
00:46:57.060
there's maybe they blackmail them too uh could be some foreign intel could be protecting some
00:47:03.540
foreign leaders could be protecting great britain you know if prince andrew has been you know named as
00:47:10.800
one of the perps maybe there's more to know about that maybe great britain said here's the deal
00:47:17.420
we will die on this hill there's no reason to believe they said this but could you imagine the
00:47:24.480
conversation that uh let's say the royal family or great britain would have with trump privately
00:47:30.200
privately uh if they knew there was more to come out let's say with prince andrew in particular
00:47:36.960
would they possibly say look we will give you anything to not let this out you tell us what you
00:47:45.400
need you want a better tariff you got it yeah you want us to fund more of ukraine so you don't have
00:47:52.540
to you got it just do not let this come out is that possible maybe i mean trump's a deal maker
00:48:00.400
if you handed him the leverage to win a bunch of negotiations with great britain you know you're
00:48:08.660
gonna you're gonna ask about israel right but so in your own mind you could throw that in there if you
00:48:13.580
want so it could be that trump knows that if he doesn't give away the secrets then he gets to use
00:48:20.900
him as his own leverage which might be and again this is just speculation i'm just showing you that
00:48:26.940
there's a wide range of what could be behind all this some of it's good some of it's bad we may never
00:48:35.400
know but trump would definitely have an advantage if he was the only one who knew or the only politician
00:48:42.020
who knew what the real situation was and who was involved
00:48:52.420
now now this is fun let's see how many of you think this is a complete coincidence
00:49:00.260
so does this have anything to do with epstein the the next thing i'm going to talk about
00:49:05.520
does it have anything to do with epstein or is this just total coincidence trump has written a
00:49:11.660
letter to the israeli president asking him to pardon netanyahu from what he thinks is a law fair kind of
00:49:19.520
unjustified prosecution which has been going on for years uh washington examiner's writing about this
00:49:26.000
emily hallis um and it was a long well-written letter in which trump made his argument of why they
00:49:35.400
were you know treating netanyahu unfairly and a big part of the argument is that trump and netanyahu
00:49:41.280
are such a good team that they could accomplish unprecedented things but not if not if netanyahu is
00:49:48.180
in jail so a pardon would be a good thing for us allegedly
00:49:53.700
but certainly you would see this as trump doing a favor wouldn't you it looks like trump doing a favor
00:50:05.140
for netanyahu now he doesn't do favors just to do favors well that's not true sometimes he does he did
00:50:11.180
favors to me just just to do a favor um so there's some reason he's doing it now and it could be that
00:50:20.480
the reason is it's just the right time to do it because you know gaza is moving forward in a productive
00:50:26.740
way things worked out uh netanyahu's reputation probably isn't going to get better this would
00:50:33.260
be a good time to good time to strike but then i i was curious what exactly is he being accused of
00:50:39.700
and i'm still not entirely sure but apparently there were two hundred thousand dollars worth of
00:50:46.000
what they call extravagant gifts that he accepted while in office netanyahu did
00:50:51.480
extravagant extravagant gifts now when trump talked about the extravagant gifts
00:50:57.760
he was minimizing it and he said uh you were talking about uh champagne and cigars
00:51:04.440
and and trump was acting like you know come on it they're basically just quality champagne and cigars
00:51:12.440
and stuff like that and we're not talking about giving somebody a pile of cash
00:51:17.360
now that is very different you know what you would do for a pile of cash
00:51:23.120
would be completely different than what you do for a little extra good
00:51:29.220
so the first thing i'd like to know to understand this topic
00:51:34.680
is netanyahu really being accused of real crimes
00:51:38.300
are these real crimes and and even if it's a real crime
00:51:43.040
let's say he took let's say he took uh i don't know some champagne
00:51:48.820
let's say he accepted some of the best cigars in the world
00:51:54.660
do you really care i mean that's what trump asked
00:51:58.240
do you care i mean i i get how it would be technically illegal but who cares
00:52:07.320
well yeah i get that you know you should care about that and find out if there was anything
00:52:13.020
they gave in return i haven't heard the accusation of that
00:52:17.020
but uh we're flying a little bit blind here in the u.s because we don't know
00:52:29.280
that the epstein stuff popped up the same time as the
00:52:34.660
israel stuff probably is probably is a coincidence
00:52:41.740
uh mom donnie the new mayor of uh new york city
00:52:47.240
he says that he does plan if he can do it he wants to speak to president trump
00:52:52.240
and he says uh calling his relationship with trump
00:52:58.760
uh oan is reporting on this lake wolf different wolf
00:53:08.900
so he does so mom donnie plans to speak with trump
00:53:16.360
if president trump wants to speak about lowering the cost of living
00:53:19.960
or delivering cheaper groceries like he ran on in 2024
00:53:23.640
i'm there to have that conversation mom donnie stated
00:53:27.640
now do you ever hear republicans use that phrase
00:53:37.560
if what you're affirming is fight you get a fight
00:53:41.580
if what you're affirming is health you get health
00:53:44.680
if what you're affirming is greatness you get greatness
00:53:59.660
i worked all year on this and i got myself a conversation
00:54:03.780
i know i know a lot of people would never be able to have a conversation
00:54:21.600
if you're trying to be a person who gets stuff done
00:54:32.260
lowering the cost of living delivering cheaper groceries
00:54:34.760
and pointing out that trump had asked about those same things
00:54:41.840
which is we have to have a conversation about this
00:54:52.640
i'm sure that'll be a great conversation with trump
00:55:18.600
that's sort of counter to who they know they are
