00:00:00.000
to see you if i sound like i'm slurring my speech i am i've got a little bit of a paralysis on one
00:00:09.920

which will happen very quickly make sure you have your beverage beverage
00:00:40.000

00:00:52.320
and all you need is a cup or mug or glass a tank of shells for sun a canteen jug or flask a vessel of
00:00:59.760
any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled
00:01:05.840
pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing makes everything better it's called a simultaneous sip it
00:01:11.760
happens now that's something good sipping right there good seven well let's start out by saying
00:01:26.960
happy fake insurrection day january 6. do you remember when you thought it was ridiculous
00:01:35.280
to imagine that democrats would be playing uh complicated hoaxes on the public it didn't
00:01:43.600
seem like anything that could actually happen right and then you found out about the russia
00:01:49.760
collusion hoax oops it turns out they can run a major hoax against the country then you found out
00:01:57.680
about the fine people hoax and you said to yourself how is it even possible that the mainstream media
00:02:05.920
went along with that hoax went along with that hoax how is that even possible and then again you
00:02:11.360
said to yourself wow i didn't even think that could happen but there's two examples where it happened
00:02:18.880
and then the the one that is the biggest f you in the world is that uh the january 6 insurrection hoax
00:02:28.160
now if you're new to this and maybe the first time you've heard me talk about it here's how you know
00:02:35.360
that the january insurrection hoax was a hoax now what i'm talking about is the hoax that trump knew knew
00:02:45.840
that he lost the election and the people he sent to the uh capital to protest also knew that the election
00:02:55.520
was clean but they were trying to overthrow the country now that entire hoax depended on nobody in
00:03:04.240
the mainstream media nobody asking the asking the people who attended the uh the protest why they
00:03:13.520
were there and they would have found out that not a single person believed that it was a clean election
00:03:20.400
and they were hoping to overthrow the government it was the biggest assumption that drove the entire
00:03:26.880
hoax and not one not one legitimate legitimate not one mainstream media ever took a protest room and
00:03:37.280
said did you really believe that the election was clean because none of those existed every person who
00:03:46.080
is there i'll betcha plus trump himself i'll betcha believed that they were seeing an obviously rigged
00:03:54.720
election and they wanted to slow things down until they could be sure it had not been rigged now that
00:04:01.920
narrative got reversed by the hoaxers the hoaxers knowing this is actually good technique by the hoaxers
00:04:12.320
the hoaxers knew that if they could get there first with their narrative and say that no he knew it was a
00:04:19.760
good election he was just trying to overthrow the country if they could do that and they could
00:04:24.960
they could ram it down our throats every day especially with the help of hollywood uh theatrical
00:04:32.080
people and then they would put on this whole january 6 um publicized hollywood produced thing so that
00:04:42.400
every single day you would see their narrative and trump was now out of office so he couldn't really push
00:04:49.920
his narrative uh as much as normally he could so i call today happy fake insurrection hoax day and uh
00:05:01.680
i hope we never see anything like that again but the the ability of the democrats to to sustain a gigantic
00:05:13.280
you know multi-year hoax with lots of moving parts they can absolutely do that and we've seen it now
00:05:25.760
well would you be surprised to hear there's a new study that says that coffee might actually protect your heart
00:05:32.800
from area from uh atrial fibrillation maybe i saw this uh on a post by dr dominion ing who tells us
00:05:45.440
that it may work which is the right way to do it it doesn't mean that this one science or this one
00:05:52.560
study is valid it just means there is a study and so it's like a 50 chance there's real you know if you
00:06:00.320
look at all studies about half of them turn out to be reproducible about half of them are not
00:06:08.080
well there's going to be a bunch of technical excuse me there's going to be a bunch of technology
00:06:15.040
announcements this week because uh the consumer electronics show is happening and a lot of robots so the
00:06:26.880
lg the company lg claims it has a robot that can fold laundry get it and make you breakfast
00:06:38.000
will it and uh do some basically easy labor around the house you know the basics now until somebody buys
00:06:47.760
that robot and it's probably not exactly for sale yet until somebody buys it and tries it and tells me it
00:06:56.480
works i don't believe it i don't believe it now i don't know how they made the demonstration work
00:07:05.360
but they probably limited the demonstration to one kind of breakfast you know one one type of laundry
00:07:14.000
and just train the hell of that out of those few things and i've been wondering is it ai driven
00:07:20.560
because when i read about it it didn't mention ai so did they just skip ai and say all right it's going
00:07:28.240
to be more like your al exa at home you have to give it the right command and it's programmed to do those
00:07:35.520
specific things but you couldn't teach it to do anything else i don't know my guess is it's a little overhyped
00:07:52.080
so um you you knew this was coming before but i have more to say about it so rfk junior secretary kennedy
00:08:02.560
he reminds us that trump had asked him to look at childhood vaccines and to see why we differ from
00:08:11.200
other countries and you know maybe that maybe they're doing it right so after exhaustive review
00:08:19.040
says kennedy of the evidence we're aligning us childhood vaccine schedules with international
00:08:25.600
consensus which a lot of people think was probably the more conservative and safer way to do it
00:08:32.320
uh while strengthening transparency and informed consent now every part of that sounds good so far
00:08:40.720
uh he says the decision to change the schedule um protects children respects families that rebuilds
00:08:48.480
trust if if it works out yes absolutely so i'm a little unclear on the changes themselves
00:08:57.600
but what i read online is that they would go from 84 to 88 doses for a child which would be given
00:09:06.960
basically you know very soon after birth down to around 30. now presumably that number of
00:09:17.680
ones that got cut from the 80s down to 30 were the ones that the science suggests might be a problem
00:09:24.560
i think we're still in the in the territory of we can't be 100 sure you know how these all work
00:09:33.360
together or which ones were the problems but if you took a a good let's say rational scientific whack at
00:09:42.160
it and you thought okay we don't we don't know how all this works together but these bunch are the ones
00:09:49.440
that have all the signals so if we remove the signals but don't remove the parents ability to get
00:09:57.120
those when they want it just wouldn't be required that feels like really playing the odds right so
00:10:06.400
here's what i'm hoping it's too it's very it's too soon to know if this will maybe change the autism
00:10:15.280
rates or change something else because maybe the data was bad maybe the one that was the problem is
00:10:22.240
still in the mix we don't know for sure but it looks like exactly the right process you know i always
00:10:29.680
talk about a system is better than a than a goal well the goal would be to protect all the children
00:10:37.440
the system would be that we make sure we have the best science and we're looking at it continuously
00:10:44.720
and all that but what i wanted to add to this this is so much in the category of something that only
00:10:51.840
trump could have gotten done and when i say only trump obviously it required rfk jr trump is the is
00:11:02.240
going to go down in history if this works out oh my god there's not going to be any question who was
00:11:10.480
the best president of all time but it was just remove all doubt and what i like about this in
00:11:16.320
particular is that and i've said this for years and and i love it that trump has a unique ability
00:11:24.160
to build a pirate ship when you need a pirate ship right so he brought on you know one of the most famous
00:11:34.080
names in democrat politics rfk jr and put him in a high risk situation and he has so far in my opinion
00:11:45.520
performed beautifully now know what the president could have done that
00:11:50.800
because they didn't know how to build a pirate ship and when i say pirate i don't mean in a
00:11:55.280
negative way i just mean a collection of people that would not normally be on the same team you're
00:12:01.200
working in the same direction but he makes it work um and so watching kennedy not just change a goal
00:12:10.000
but to change the entire system uh that got us to where we are is just breathtaking it's just
00:12:18.000
breathtaking and only trump could have done that and i think only rfk jr could have gotten as far as
00:12:25.200
we've gotten so far so hit full of standing ovation for that but again we'll have to see we'll have to
00:12:34.240
see if it works out but everything looks smart well i saw in the maze account on axe uh he was he was
00:12:43.200
reposting a compilation made by grabian rabian i want to give i want to give credit to him but grab it is
00:12:51.760
one of these uh uh online uh what do you call it online memers i guess and uh was reminding us that
00:13:03.280
back in 2024 and it seems so funny now that the harris waltz team was sending out my memo just started
00:13:10.880
calling jd vance weird you remember that uh and they wanted to basically paint vance and everybody
00:13:20.960
who's a you know trump supporter as weird and you you see the uh compilation and you can see how forced
00:13:30.080
it was and you can see it obviously they had talking points now does that even happen on the right
00:13:37.280
uh obviously pro trumpers often will say the same thing as other pro trumpers but i'm not aware of
00:13:47.200
anybody getting a memo to do it usually if somebody hears something that works they say oh that sounds
00:13:54.800
good so i'll just say it too um but i don't think it happens on both sides you know if i'm wrong about
00:14:03.040
that let me know i've never seen it so as a student of persuasion as i am um it made me wonder who came
00:14:16.400
up with the idea it's obvious that the campaign was probably the one who said do this but who came up
00:14:23.600
with it was it a professional here's what i think it was now this would be speculation i think the
00:14:32.000
democrats feeling like they're not good at persuasion hired somebody who claimed to be good at it
00:14:39.360
and the people that they hired again just speculation um would would try to use science
00:14:46.080
to back what they were recommending and one of the things that science consistently shows
00:14:52.080
is that conservatives don't like icky stuff if something's non-standard
00:14:58.320
conservatives just go and that is sort of built into their brains and almost something they can't
00:15:05.200
change so the idea here would be that somebody said aha if you look at the science the thing that
00:15:13.040
would turn off other voters on the republican side is to know that they were backing something weird
00:15:19.600
and so far that actually tracks with what i would you know what i would recommend about uh persuasion if
00:15:30.880
i were on the team but why didn't it work because it definitely didn't work and i speculate that it
00:15:38.320
didn't work because it was so stunningly unnatural it was so obviously a talking point and now something that
00:15:48.000
they were feeling in any important way and nobody cares about weirdness um you know just as a free
00:15:57.600
floating idea uh so i think the inauthenticity of it made it impossible to work but then
00:16:07.760
um as i've talked about at length time goes by and they came up with the idea or maybe mom donnie did
00:16:16.960
of talking about affordability now when anybody talks about affordability either side that connects
00:16:26.080
so that was probably a real good play trump had to but here's the flaw in the plan
00:16:31.680
trump has probably had enough time that he could address enough affordability issues
00:16:40.960
that it would sort of take it off the table a little bit and his technique of going directly at
00:16:47.760
energy prices as a way to make basically everything less expensive um he has time to make that work
00:16:56.320
work so he knew right away and he tried to co-opt it that if he started talking about affordability
00:17:03.760
and he started doing something about affordability it would take their their main good attack they've
00:17:09.520
ever had somewhat off the table so he has to perform and we're watching of course uh as he's doing
00:17:18.720
things that would in fact lower energy costs if everything goes right uh and there's probably enough
00:17:25.360
time for that to work his way through the system again if he gets energy prices lower uh and affect
00:17:32.960
everything so once again trump has better better approach to things all right so you know we've all
00:17:45.600
been trying to figure out what is the real reason for the action in venezuela is it really about drugs
00:17:53.920
drugs well drugs might be part of it but i think all the smart people at this point are saying it's not
00:18:00.160
the only reason and it might it might not even be the top reason but it creates uh it creates the
00:18:06.880
possibility of doing what we wanted to do in venezuela so i was listening yesterday to glenn beck
00:18:17.040
uh he was telling us his ideas for what why we went to venezuela and it was very persuasive um because
00:18:27.120
he's a good communicator and he's a smart guy so when he described it you know what the real play was
00:18:34.400
very very convincing i have to say but then as these things often go i read the comments and i see a pushback
00:18:42.800
on it and i thought oh well there might be a problem with the data so if there's a data problem
00:18:51.760
that would suggest maybe we don't have the right take on this i'll tell you what that is
00:18:56.640
so glenn beck's take is that the real value of the venezuela action is that it would put pressure on china
00:19:05.600
because there's so much uh oil that comes from venezuela that ends in china that it would be
00:19:12.560
putting pressure on china and if is if iran goes at the same time which looks like it might i still
00:19:21.040
still won't bet on it but it looks like there's a pretty good chance that iran will will fall we could
00:19:28.800
potentially deny uh china from some large percentage of their total energy if they're denied their total
00:19:37.360
energy it would be hard for them to say mount a war in taiwan it would be hard for them to dominate
00:19:44.960
the world if they're struggling for oil and there's there's such a large uh percentage of what they get
00:19:54.240
from venezuela and iran that um that makes perfect sense from a military monroe doctrine point of view
00:20:05.360
now when you first see this argument um it's very convincing but the problem with the data is i've
00:20:13.680
seen numbers all over the place about how much china is getting from venezuela
00:20:19.440
um and i don't trust the numbers so it could be there's not as much pressure on china as we assume
00:20:29.920
it is um if the data is wrong now the other piece of data that somebody questioned and maybe go oh
00:20:38.720
is that venezuela has i don't know if i have the right units i'm talking about here but
00:20:44.160
like 300 billion barrels or something of oil and then somebody said that that was never true
00:20:53.120
that the claims that venezuela had the most reserves of oil were claims that were made by some prior
00:20:59.520
administration so that it looked like they were more powerful than they were and that the real number
00:21:05.840
of usable oil because remember it's venezuela the oil is kind of dirty so there are only i think three
00:21:13.200
refineries in the world that can even process it but so that the real number might be closer to 25.
00:21:22.400
so we've been told it's 300 which would be among or the biggest reserves but it might be just 25
00:21:31.280
when you when you get down to how much could you actually refine how much could you get to
00:21:36.480
so that's a big question mark right if anybody has some visibility on that i would love to know what
00:21:46.400
is the most credible number for the reserves uh if we did this to get access to an enormous part of oil
00:21:57.200
then it definitely looks like a good idea if we did it because there's so much oil that was going to china
00:22:03.280
that it would completely change their strategic calculation it looks like a good idea but if
00:22:11.440
either of those numbers are not what we think they are then i don't know what we're getting
00:22:17.680
i do love um trump's uh take that we're just taking back the oil they took from us because first of all i
00:22:26.480
think that's true and it's hard to argue against taking back what somebody stole from you right well bill
00:22:37.440
um and i also uh i'll probably say this a lot of times but hold on a second
00:22:43.360
one of the most important things you need to know that i believe trump knows better than anybody
00:22:55.040
is that countries and organizations and movements they either grow or they shrink
00:23:01.360
and the united states was in a shrinking position in the world it was becoming less influential uh less
00:23:10.800
rich compared to other people uh relatively speaking and what trump did is reverse that
00:23:17.760
so he's found ways to turn the u.s into a growing entity if you're not growing you are definitely
00:23:25.920
shrinking one of those is an existential threat and one of those guarantees not guarantees but gives you a
00:23:33.600
real good chance for a better future so uh if you feel uncomfortable with whatever the president is
00:23:42.640
doing the military is doing the thing you should look at is is this making the u.s stronger and growing
00:23:50.800
or is it working in the other direction if the answer is yes this makes the u.s grow and be more
00:23:57.680
important i would argue that that is probably more important than whatever your moral or constitutional
00:24:06.160
arguments are which are also important you know it's not like i'm blind to ignoring the constitution if
00:24:14.800
we should ever do that uh it's not like i'm in favor of military action if we could avoid it it's just
00:24:22.560
a simple fact that you're either growing or shrinking as soon as you put that frame on it then everything
00:24:29.520
that trump has been doing lately makes perfect sense especially uh asserting the monroe doctrine
00:24:36.720
like it's never been asserted before all right bill o'reilly was on uh news nation talking to
00:24:44.720
leland finnard and he had a interesting speculation which i immediately agree with
00:24:52.560
uh but he he warns you that he's not basing this on reporting this is based on just his
00:24:59.360
understanding of the world and it's close to my understanding of the world too he says that about
00:25:06.560
venezuela that the cia which has heavily infiltrated the venezuelan and colombian governments they know
00:25:14.480
everything was going on and that they must have made a deal with the venezuelan military
00:25:19.200
and the deal would look like this you step aside because we're coming in to get maduro and that's
00:25:26.000
the only one earth that the u.s special forces could have snatched maduro without any conflict at all
00:25:33.120
now were you wondering why venezuela didn't put up more fight specifically the military just
00:25:40.400
stood down um and i have long speculated that there was no way that you know i agree with his
00:25:49.760
speculation that there's no way that could have been so bloodless relatively i think there were
00:25:55.600
some 32 people who might have died on me yeah i don't know if they're cuban bodyguards or what but
00:26:00.960
there were some casualties on the venezuelan side the only way i could understand that is if we've got a
00:26:08.720
deal in the back now that deal would include um that maybe the venezuelans can act tough
00:26:19.680
as long as they don't fire anything as long as they do what we're told so you see the vice president
00:26:25.280
who's now the president of venezuela uh talking tough about the us that probably has to happen
00:26:32.960
she probably has to talk tough but as long as uh she understands that we'll send in the military if
00:26:42.960
she doesn't do what we want and as long as the cia has built relationships there that can tell them
00:26:50.320
exactly how to get out of the way maybe there's some bribery involved etc um i think that's probably
00:26:57.600
the answers they had questions like if you knew that the cia had been working for years probably
00:27:06.480
to be in a position to say okay military come on in we'll turn off we'll turn off the response
00:27:13.760
uh that would explain everything wouldn't it but again this is not a fact um i believe there's more
00:27:20.720
we don't know about this situation than there is that we know you know we're deeply in the fog of war
00:27:29.440
you know in a sense war uh what we will learn about this in the coming years
00:27:35.600
will probably be a lot more than we actually know because i don't see that yeah i don't see the cia
00:27:42.720
telling us the truth it's not even their job to tell us the truth in fact telling us the truth might
00:27:48.720
work against our interests so i think that's true now listen to steve miller who was on the recent
00:27:57.920
interview he said uh about the venezuelans he said they told rubio made clear they will meet the terms
00:28:06.400
this is the venezuelan government as it is right now they told rubio made it clear they will meet the
00:28:13.040
terms demands conditions and requirements of the u.s so if they're telling rubio they're going to do
00:28:20.160
what we want but you hear them talk tough tough talk tough in public it all makes sense doesn't it
00:28:31.040
um according to senator john kennedy the corporation for public broadcasting which took took our money
00:28:45.280
and funneled it to npr and pbs is uh officially dissolved now there was probably a time when i would
00:28:55.200
have thought man i hate to see my government defund you know a a place that gives me the news but what
00:29:03.520
we know recently about any of these mainstream media entities is they're definitely not helping
00:29:11.440
that they were not really additive to the country and so when you see cuts to these venerable
00:29:19.120
institutions what president could make a cut to a venerable institution only trump he's like the only one
00:29:29.280
who could do it but it doesn't work every time because there's a court ruling news max is reporting uh that
00:29:42.160
trump had tried to cut a big part of the uh national institute of health funding for uh scientific and
00:29:50.000
medical research to these big colleges and institutions but a three a three judge panel just ruled that he
00:29:58.960
can't do that um i i don't i'm not good enough on the legal stuff to know why he can't do that but that's
00:30:08.080
the ruling um now there's an argument i hear on what i'm going to call my side that i don't think holds
00:30:18.480
up and maybe that's the problem too so part of the argument for making cuts to places like harvard
00:30:25.680
is that a few of the big institutions it doesn't apply to all of them but the biggest ones have these
00:30:30.960
enormous endowments that means that people have donated massive amounts of money and they
00:30:38.000
have that money for for uh various harvard use so the argument went if you already have so much money
00:30:47.360
why does the government need to give you any more because the endowment doesn't get spent every year
00:30:52.560
it just sits there and grows here's what people generally don't know about the endowments
00:30:58.800
that you should add to your knowledge bank uh most of them and i think most is the right word
00:31:05.600
but some large number of them are not available for anybody who wants to use it for anything
00:31:10.800
they are for specific purposes so in other words a billionaire would say i'm going to give you a
00:31:16.320
billion dollars to use for this specific purpose and if you don't use it for that you know it'll get
00:31:24.080
clawed back or you don't get to use it so harvard does not does not have the freedom to use the endowment
00:31:33.120
any way they want so it can never be a full replacement for a government funding i'm in
00:31:39.120
favor of the cuts and the pressure it puts um just that's just a fact you should know about
00:31:47.600
everyone needs help with something if investing is your something we get it cooperators financial
00:31:52.960

00:32:09.760

00:32:12.880
by cooperators life insurance company life insurance is underwritten by cooperators life
00:32:15.760
insurance company well here's a story i find creepy i hate it but senator mark kelly who had been a
00:32:27.280
a member of a member of the military uh he's being what they call a sanctioned and demoted and his pension is
00:32:34.800
being uh pulled by a secretary for p exit the reason being that he was part of the six people who made
00:32:43.760
that video uh encouraging the military to not obey illegal orders now i'm pretty sure that was always law
00:32:53.920
that they should not obey illegal orders but by putting attention on it and you know trying to focus on it
00:33:00.720
it seemed like the real play here was not to make the country a better place it looked like the play was
00:33:07.280
to destroy the um chain of command so if the uh if the commander-in-chief gave an order then the individual
00:33:17.440
military people could say hmm that looks illegal to me so you know kelly told me i could ignore it
00:33:26.160
hmm maybe i'll ignore it now you can easily see how that would destroy the you know the cohesion and
00:33:33.680
the everything about the military and it clearly seemed designed to be political and not anything
00:33:41.360
anything anything about national security so i think what he did was arguably something insurrectionist
00:33:51.360
seditionist traitorous at the very least it was not intended to help the country militarily that's what i
00:34:01.520
think that's just my opinion so under that frame you know punishing him essentially by taking away some of
00:34:12.240
his uh his military uh uh benefits like his retirement grade stuff is really expensive and he did fight for
00:34:23.360
the country so the reason it's creepy is that i just hate being in a position where p hegseth would even
00:34:31.840
have to wrestle with this as a question we never should have been here on the other hand it is so hard
00:34:39.840
for me to see a member of the military punished for something that other people would say that's just free
00:34:47.040
speech scott so let me say i love it because you have to have a response and you have to recognize
00:34:56.160
it for what it was but i hate it because it's it's a military man
00:35:05.040
all right here's a story i'm going to tell you there's more about the fact that the story can be told
00:35:14.000
than it is about the point and i saw elon musk boosting this on x so lauren chen on x wrote this
00:35:25.280
piece that i'm sure you could not have said this five years ago you would be so cancelled but i think
00:35:33.280
now you can say this stuff so she said that people often say the developing world is poor because the
00:35:40.000
western world colonized them and stole the resources but she points out that when the colonizers left
00:35:48.640
let's say hong kong and singapore being two examples that they they left them in good shape meaning that
00:35:57.920
people were trained to take over they did take over and then over decades you could see that it totally
00:36:04.960
worked so that was a case where you you can decry the colon colonialism that would be fair but you
00:36:13.840
can't decry the fact that the colonizers tried hard to make sure that the people they left um thrived
00:36:23.120
and sure enough they did but here's the point that i don't think you could have said
00:36:28.560
five years ago that africa has never worked that the colonizers who colonized africa
00:36:37.760
often found out that they couldn't train the locals to take over and her point is
00:36:45.440
that you have to recognize that in every case the colonizers probably every case the colonizers tried
00:36:51.920
very hard to leave the locals in a good position to take care of themselves and some places for
00:36:59.360
reasons we don't have to get into some places like africa and didn't work once it just never worked
00:37:08.160
and that that probably has to do with i'll just say the word culture so at the very least it had to do
00:37:14.000
with culture but because this is obviously a landmine kind of topic so i'll go back to my original point
00:37:23.200
it's not about me arguing that this is true or false it's about the fact that she could say it out loud
00:37:31.520
and not get cancelled and the only reason for that is that she's on x you probably couldn't say
00:37:37.760
it in many places but you can say it on x so that's a big change for free speech i'm sorry one of the uh
00:37:54.000
one of the side effects of whatever's going on with me is that i have these little burping burping attacks
00:37:59.760
uh culture is not a bad word i'm answering the comments culture is not a bad word but it opens up
00:38:15.600
that pandora box of you know why and we don't need to get into that well the rasmussen poll which is
00:38:24.560
coming out today i said this was poll was taken before the venezuela action right that 48 percent
00:38:32.720
approved would be the us seizing oil tankers i think that was a plurality so there were more people who
00:38:39.440
approved it than didn't and um they also had this opinion when trump said quote you remember they took
00:38:49.520
all our energy rights they took all our oil not long ago and we want it back 54 percent of voters agree
00:38:57.680
with that so yeah i was telling you earlier that that's a strong frame well proven it's proven that
00:39:07.760
that was a strong frame uh they took our oil and we're taking it back that's the rasmussen poll you'll
00:39:14.400
see later today well megan kelly had an interesting opinion on venezuela that she talked about on her
00:39:24.240
serious xm show and i liked it it's a good opinion um she said that when i turned on fox news yesterday
00:39:33.120
and i'm sorry but it was like watching russian propaganda there was nothing skeptical it was all
00:39:39.680
rah-rah cheerleading let's go now that was also my opinion that uh the fox news was basically all down
00:39:48.480
for this right away now i would make a distinction
00:39:54.560
between my lips are a little numb so i can't tell when i have stuff on i'd make a distinction between
00:40:02.560
um cheering for the successful military operation which seems fair uh and i think they were definitely
00:40:12.080
happy about it and their uh their viewers were happy about it and so you could see why there would be
00:40:19.360
pretty rah-rah about the military part but megan kelly's point is that that's just the first the first act
00:40:26.080
uh if we don't succeed in building some kind of a government with venezuela that is not only uh works
00:40:36.160
for the monroe document but works for their locals and doesn't cause us and does not cause us to have
00:40:42.640
some war with boost something around well if all that happens then it'll be one of the most successful
00:40:50.720
operations of all time but uh megan points out that we don't have a great reputation for building other
00:41:01.760
countries up i would argue that we did a good job in japan um you know helping them become a thriving
00:41:10.160
nation i think after world war ii i would argue that we did a good job in germany you know to the
00:41:18.480
extent that we were helpful on that so it's not impossible that when you're talking about venezuela
00:41:25.600
pretty educated place pretty westernized that we could make that work and probably only trump could
00:41:33.920
make that happen too because i think he knows how to make a deal he's smart enough not to disband the
00:41:40.240
government like in iraq which was a failure so yes i'm with megan kelly that first act
00:41:48.720
100 the first act was impressive to me it looked america first to me it looked like a genius strategic
00:41:58.320
play but we still have to wait for the second and third act it might get tougher before it gets easier
00:42:04.560
all right vivek ramaswamy has apparently announced that he's going to not be on instagram and x for a
00:42:16.560
while i don't know how long but he says it's too easy to get a distorted sense of the public's concerns
00:42:25.600
now that's a true statement wouldn't you say that if you're on x even though x is the free speech
00:42:32.800
you know champion of the world that you still get in your bubble you know so it does form bubbles there's
00:42:41.120
no way around it and i do think that if you got all of your sense of what the public wants from x
00:42:49.840
probably would be distorted because you know even vivek would be in a bubble of some kind not of his choosing
00:42:58.720
it might not be the bubble it wants but it just happens because of the way your algorithms work
00:43:05.600
but here's my question to vivek that he will never see what is the better way to get to the truth
00:43:12.880
at the moment there's nothing better than x and i would say there's nothing close
00:43:22.240
i wouldn't trust ai maybe someday but i don't trust it now i wouldn't trust the mainstream media
00:43:29.360
i wouldn't trust well anything so while his his uh concern seems spot on i'd love to know what he
00:43:41.600
thinks is the alternative what alternative is there well we'll see we'll see if that lasts
00:43:48.880
according to the fda well not according to but the fda approved a little device you wear on your forehead
00:44:00.480
that gives you some electrical signals and can turn off your depression
00:44:05.600
so apparently it's been well tested and passed the fda's bar and what it is is like a little headband
00:44:15.280
thing that knows exactly where to send these low intensity transcranial direct current stimulation
00:44:24.240
you know the tdcs so it delivers it to the frontal cortex where apparently they know that would make a
00:44:31.680
difference so here's my question well and it's it's being compared to pills which we don't see as a
00:44:40.720
good treatment for depression so if it's better than pills and apparently this the early studies are
00:44:49.040
stunningly successful we'll see what the long-term effects are but apparently there's a long-term effect
00:44:56.720
so it doesn't just work while you have it on it's reprogramming your brain now why i think this has a
00:45:03.520
good chance um is because pills don't work um not everybody can take a walk and touch a tree and get
00:45:15.440
better um it has just a huge impact apparently so i'm just being optimistic that might be a big thing in
00:45:22.400
the future well our technica is reporting that in california my silly state uh there's a new law that
00:45:33.040
just took effect about privacy apparently as of january 1st californians can ask to be opted out of the
00:45:42.320
whatever services there are that collect data and sell it so i guess it's cal privacy
00:45:50.160
policy so is that is that good or bad i can't tell you know it seems like a good intention thing
00:45:59.760
that would give people control over their own data that sounds good right but will ai suffer you know
00:46:09.200
does it make ai not work for you what what if ai knew me because i didn't report this stuff but it
00:46:17.040
didn't know you because you did would ai work better for me because it would know all my habits
00:46:25.280
so and would there be a black market that popped up that would just fill the space where the legal
00:46:31.760
stuff became illegal and so they just say well black market so there might be some unintended
00:46:38.880
consequences but i'm going to be optimistic about that too all right here's an interesting interesting story
00:46:54.080
um as you know or maybe you don't that um steve hilton is running for governor of california
00:47:04.320
now you might be aware that it's a very difficult thing for a republican to get elected as governor
00:47:12.080
in our current situation in california so how do you break through you know how do you get through
00:47:19.360
if you're a republican you know it's a blue state everything's working against you well it looks like
00:47:26.240
steve might have found a way because he and uh i think one other person running for california state
00:47:35.280
controller uh herb morgan so the two of them it looks like they put together a website called califraudia
00:47:44.480
to take whistleblower reports of fraud and then apparently they've already done this they've built it
00:47:53.440
and they're getting lots of whistleblowers telling them where the fraud is which seems to be amazingly
00:48:01.200
useful exactly what we want now how many times have i told you that being useful just in general being
00:48:10.640
useful is a really good place to be i've never really seen a situation where a candidate
00:48:18.800
did something this useful um while running for office and so the genius of this is that he can
00:48:27.280
already say this is the sort of thing i can give you at the time when people are most interested in this
00:48:33.440
sort of thing now you know i didn't know too much about steve hilton but when i see this kind of a
00:48:40.720
signal i automatically say okay first of all that's a strong strong play i'm very impressed secondly if
00:48:50.080
this is an indication of who he is and how he operates and how he thinks oh my god that's just so
00:48:58.640
strong so i'm going to upgrade my i think he's actually leading the polls now because it's you know
00:49:05.920
the polls are kind of distributed but steve if you could do this sort of thing and it's not some kind
00:49:12.320
of one-off which i don't think it is actually and you could be of service to the state in exactly the
00:49:20.400
way we want you to be this is important to me very important to me um he's obviously very good as a
00:49:30.000
public figure um he has lots of experience on tv so you need that right you need to be good on tv
00:49:37.280
it doesn't work so good for you steve hilton standing ovation meanwhile speaking of fraud
00:49:48.240
caroline levitt levitt levitt or levitt um it confirmed that the minnesota fraud that we've all
00:49:56.560
heard about so much is going to be the subject of a all hands on deck across the entire government
00:50:03.920
effort we are surging resources so apparently the department of homeland security um will surge 2000
00:50:12.640
agents uh the fbi is all over the place who are freezing money uh cutting off funding for all these
00:50:19.360
fake daycares and other things that were part of the part of the uh fraud so here's my question
00:50:28.000
under the harris waltz administration should that have been the outcome of the last election would
00:50:36.080
we first of all even know about this uh the fraud would we even know i mean a youtube uh fellow
00:50:47.760
is the one who's being credited for uncovering it but it all had been uncovered for years
00:50:53.600
we've known for years that there was a problem there just not the details would the censorship
00:51:01.440
regime of biden and harris have talked to youtube and said um suppress this video
00:51:10.000
with that because they yeah we have a long history of democrats putting pressure on platforms to
00:51:18.480
censor things you don't think they would have censored that story i don't know um but think again how
00:51:27.280
important it was that we dodged the biden slash harris administration you know for at least for the
00:51:37.200
current term um this could have only happened under trump the surging is exactly the right thing
00:51:44.400
it's what the public wants it's what the situation demands only trump
00:51:52.160
well in energy news according to new atlas there's a company that's asking for some kind of government
00:51:59.760
approval that i believe they will get to take the type of uh nuclear reactors that are already in
00:52:08.080
naval ships and have been operating for 70 years without trouble and to use that design for domestic
00:52:17.840
energy production now i don't know if you remember this maybe i started 10 years ago talking about how
00:52:24.960
nuclear should be bigger and should be more of a focus and one of the things that mark schneider taught me
00:52:31.360
at the time was that we already had a design that was used in the military the navy especially and
00:52:40.720
it didn't have problems and you could build them small and they would be driving battleships and stuff
00:52:46.320
like that now i think the first part of the request and it's really sort of a two-parter is that the
00:52:53.520
company wants to take the existing um nuclear processors that are on ships but only the ones that
00:53:02.080
are being decommissioned um so if they're being decommissioned anyway you know you don't want to waste
00:53:08.640
a perfectly good nuclear reactor right so they want to take those and uh presumably modify them and stuff but
00:53:17.040
use them they would take them off the ship for so they wouldn't be using them on the ship they would
00:53:24.320
take them off the ship and repurpose them but here's the good part they also want to build new ones
00:53:32.240
because there wouldn't be enough you know there wouldn't be enough there would be yeah submarines
00:53:36.400
they're in submarines uh wouldn't be enough decommissioned ships to do that to make much of a dent
00:53:42.880
so they want to take the design that's been proven over 70 years and it would cost about
00:53:51.440
somewhere in the two billion dollar range to create a modular reactor versus what we see
00:53:58.480
with the big nuclear with the big reactors which could be you know tens of billions of dollars
00:54:03.680
so it's smart it's well proven and it's economical and i think they only need approval from the
00:54:15.200
trump administration to you know do this sort of thing so again optimistic
00:54:22.960
speaking of optimism uh one of the products that the consumer electronics show
00:54:29.760
is a leaf blower an aerospace power aerospace powered quiet leaf blower that cause noise by 70
00:54:41.360
do you know what a plague the leaf blowers are in high-end neighborhoods
00:54:47.600
oh i i hate to be like a rich person complaining but there's at least one to two days
00:54:53.680
uh every week where it becomes impossible to take a nap or anything because either your own gardener is
00:55:01.360
right outside or your neighbor's gardener is right outside and it's so freaking loud now you might say
00:55:09.280
i'll bet that's expensive and i'll bet your gardener your gardener's not gonna want to pay for that
00:55:16.400
and then i thought to myself i'll buy it if my gardener was willing to take this product and it
00:55:24.720
worked yeah i don't know i'm not sure it's for sale it might be just announcing that it will be
00:55:31.440
i would immediately go to my gardener and i would say i will buy this for you if you'll use it
00:55:37.280
i assume you say yes because it doesn't give up anything in performance then uh i would figure
00:55:46.240
out who the other gardeners were like my neighbor's gardeners and i would say you know
00:55:51.680
you should do the same thing just buy one for your gardener and and you'll make all the neighbors happy
00:55:57.840
if they said no then i would say at least the immediate neighbors i would say well i'll buy it
00:56:04.320
five yeah i have some extra cash so let me buy your gardener one of these so i wonder if the way it will
00:56:13.200
spread is that the homeowners will buy it for their gardeners even though that's not their not their
00:56:25.040
well according to science clock as she's got this gupta is writing that uh stanford's doing a
00:56:34.240
new approach to ai uh that solves the following problem have you ever have you ever wondered why ai
00:56:43.840
can create a uh video of somebody doing something that looks exactly like a person doing something
00:56:52.240
but if you try to tell the ai to do exactly what the ai is showing in a picture it can't do it
00:57:00.800
and the reason is that the videos are created by just
00:57:08.720
by just predicting where pixels should be on the screen but what they'd like to do is use the
00:57:16.240
the ai's imagination they call it where it can create a picture of somebody doing something
00:57:21.760
and tie that to what the ai learns by having it learned by its own dreams so before it tries to do
00:57:32.160
something let's say you have you want your ai robot so before it does anything it first imagines it in
00:57:39.520
pixels and then then the parts are working on that i guess are getting close is to figure out how the ai can
00:57:47.440
learn from its own pixel pattern so if it created a a dream basically which would just be an ai video
00:57:58.720
if it created one that was you know folding a certain kind of laundry you know can you say all
00:58:05.200
right learn from your own picture how to do this so the physics the physics god my mouth is so dry
00:58:17.440
so the the idea is to add the physics to what it can already imagine
00:58:27.440
yeah but most of the ai is past the six-figure problem
00:58:34.160
now the ai is so much better so maybe that's a big deal well also talking about my silly state
00:58:42.320
according to u-haul more people are leaving california than any other state for the sixth year in a row
00:58:51.520
holy shoot we have the highest state income tax in america
00:59:02.400
so let's talk about greenland things are changing in greenland so steven miller was on a show asking
00:59:14.240
if he was asked if the u.s would use military to take greenland now what would have been the answer to
00:59:20.720
that six months ago if he had been asked will will we use the military to conquer greenland
00:59:28.960
i feel like he would have said something like we don't need to do that you know because we can find
00:59:34.960
a way to avoid that but you know it's very important critically we're definitely going to do something
00:59:40.720
to make sure that we're not vulnerable there but you know no boots on the ground six months ago
00:59:48.800
how did he answer it yesterday he says quote nobody is going to fight the united states militarily over
00:59:57.200
the future of greenland uh that sounds like they've moved from wanting to deciding
01:00:08.320
it seems to me that if trump you know ends up being super successful as i think he might be in venezuela
01:00:17.600
that the idea of sending in the military is definitely on the table now obviously greenland
01:00:27.360
would not have any way to respond right they don't have a military um denmark doesn't have really a way
01:00:34.160
to project force over here in any meaningful way so one assumes that that would not happen until the cia
01:00:42.240
uh had enough insight or control over the locals that they would know for sure that if the military
01:00:51.920
went in they would step aside and further steven miller says the real question is what the what right
01:01:02.240
does denmark assert control over greenland oh here we go here's a good reframe what is the basis of their
01:01:10.560
territorial claim what is the basis of having greenland as a colony of denmark he said the united
01:01:18.560
states is the power of nato for the united states to secure the orchid region to protect and defend nato
01:01:27.040
this is so good at nato interests obviously greenland should be part of the united states
01:01:32.720
so we have definitely moved from wanting greenland to deciding we're going to take it and we're going
01:01:42.240
to use our military to do it if necessary now obviously there would be lots and lots of work
01:01:50.080
before anything like that happened to either make it easy to take him over or to find a way that we didn't
01:01:56.720
need to so what would denmark do if we if we told them hey denmark on tuesday we're going to surge the
01:02:06.400
military into greenland we're going to annex it um and you're going to sit you're going to stand aside
01:02:18.720
to whom other people would complain but how much impact would that have would the un say stop doing
01:02:28.240
that and if they did we might say we're the only power that the un has step aside and i think that
01:02:39.440
uh trump pushing the uh the monroe doctrine is so far as i think this could be more popular than not popular
01:02:48.560
um the door is wide open to me it seems like a done deal that before the end of trump's term we will
01:02:57.520
have functional control of uh greenland and people will hate it at first and they'll say oh authoritarian
01:03:07.200
and they will eventually say uh here's a reframe too almost nobody lives on the place that was once
01:03:18.640
uninhabited by anybody if you look at the history of just about every country it's about somebody had
01:03:26.240
that land and then somebody took it from right all right ladies and gentlemen that is the end of my
01:03:35.040
prepared remarks i'm going to talk privately to the good people of locals
01:03:44.800
and in 30 seconds we'll be private i want to thank you again oh let me give you a specific thank you
01:03:53.680
i hope you're aware that your existence and the love and attention that you give me
01:04:03.520
is absolutely irreplaceable and i'm very blessed and i uh appreciate you more than you could ever know
01:04:14.800
so if it seems like um i'm acting selfishly sometimes well maybe i am because i enjoy this experience
01:04:25.680
of being useful if i can more than anything i like so thank you thank you and we'll see you again tomorrow
