Chapter 1: What are the health benefits of coffee?
liquid i like coffee enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine at the end of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now oh so good i mean really sometimes it's so good i can't even can't even stand it Well, you'll be surprised to hear that there's a new study that identified the huge positive health effects of coffee. That's right.
Apparently, it's really good for your gut bacteria. Gives you fiber. Oh, my goodness. It can make you coffee can make you levitate off the ground. It will make you immortal and possibly being able to fly long distances by flapping your arms. Okay, none of that last stuff is true. But every day there's new information about coffee and I wouldn't rule it out. It could be a fuel of the future.
Meanwhile, in the publication Pulse, somebody wrote an article about all the mental health benefits of laughter. Huh. So it turns out that laughter, which is a subset of being happy, is good for your health. Well, they could have saved some money by asking me, but some of the things they found is that laughter reduces your stress and anxiety. Don't you feel better already?
Chapter 2: How does laughter improve mental health?
It improves your mood, and it combats depression. It enhances your sleep quality. It improves your cognitive function. It builds your social connections. That's a lot of good stuff.
Yeah.
So if you find yourself laughing at any time during this podcast, you'll probably feel yourself just getting healthier every moment. All right. There's a Pennsylvania school, according to Ars Technica, had to shut down because one clever student figured out how to make deep fake nudes of the female classmates.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of deep fake technology?
And rather than making just one, he made 50 different deep fakes of his female classmates, 50 different ones. Now, here's my question. Was there really only one kid who knew how to do it, and so he did 50 of them? Or is that a point where they can all do it? Because I wouldn't know how to do it. Every AI that I know how to use wouldn't do that if he asked it to.
So there must be some kind of secret dark web deep fake AI that if you knew what it was, you could use it. Now, here's the problem. Sure, they can shut down that one school. Sure. You could punish that one person. Yep. Probably never do it again. But I was once 14. Is anybody here who was also a 14-year-old boy at any time in your life? Have you ever been a 14-year-old boy?
If I were a 14-year-old boy and you handed me a tool that was free and could turn anybody I wanted into a A porn? You couldn't pry that out of my 14-year-old hands. How in the world are you going to stop this? This is going to be to infinity. This is unstoppable, and kids are going to do it. So I don't know what you're going to do about that.
I think the weird, horrible future is that every young woman will have to just get used to being in a porn that she wasn't in, that her deep fake was in. Honestly, I think there's literally zero way to stop it. If there was an AI that could have done it in the first place, and that's apparently out there and somebody has access to it, it doesn't look good. But anyway, a robot dog.
Chapter 4: How are robot dogs changing technology and safety?
You've seen all the robot dogs. One of them just finished in South Korea, finished a marathon on one charge. So with one battery charge, a robot dog ran a marathon. So calculating distance, I would feel safe living near a robot dog. 10 miles? Nope. 15 miles. Too close. 26 miles? Not enough. You've got to get farther than 26 miles away from your robot dog if it's got a weapon.
I, for one, do not trust robot dogs. Pit bulls are looking good. I might get a pit bull to fight the robot dogs. Um... You've seen that more athletes are doing the Trump dance. You know the Trump dance. It's the danciest dance ever. I love the fact that everybody can do it.
If I see a little viral video on TikTok or something, and I'll see the young people doing these dances where it looks like they're floating over the floor and they're moonwalking like crazy and they're You know, they got all kinds of things going on. And I look at that and I say, hey, I could do that. If I spent the next year of my life doing nothing but practicing that one 15 second dance.
But you show me the Trump dance. And I look at that and I go, hold on, people. Hold on. There's a dance I could learn pretty quickly. So let me see if I got it. Is that it? Do I have it yet? I think I'm close. Probably another week or two of practice, I could nail that. Yeah, so U.S. soccer legend Christian Pusilik.
You all know, I mean, obviously you're all huge fans of American soccer, so you would know the names of our best American soccer players, obviously. So Christian Pusilik. very well known in America. He did the Trump dance after scoring. So I saw a compilation clip a few times of the various football players and other athletes doing the Trump dance and even one of the winners at the UFC.
But do you think it's really widespread? Because when you see it on the news and there's five instances of it, you think, well, this is everywhere. but there might be five. So I'm not, I'm not quite ready to say that it's safe to wear your mega hat. And if you do the mega dance in front of your school on talent night, you'll be perfectly fine. Cause I don't think you will.
I still think that hiding might be your better play for now, unless you're a famous athlete and then you can do what you want. Uh, According to Geeky Gadgets, OpenAI and Microsoft are making this gigantic new improvement in their AI, ChatGPT. And this is a big one because they're going to give it near infinite memory capacity.
So if you're training your AI, you can upload much larger documents, but it will remember it all, which it doesn't do now.
and if you have a lot of interactions with it it will remember you basically forever so you can build a little agent and this is the for me this is the first time it looks like it could be a real product the ai that we've seen so far or just for demonstrations and you know maybe laugh here or there a deep fake here there maybe make a deep fake of your classmates but really not much of a product.

Chapter 5: What are the latest developments in AI technology?
There's no other... If you don't have the threat of, you know, you're definitely going to be dead if you keep on this path. Like, not any question about it, 100%, you're going to be dead. That's when people get flexible. If they think they're not going to be dead, they might act that way. But, yeah, we need to be at the point where serious people are afraid of nuclear war.
That's how you get peace. But... Would you like me to make sure that there's no nuclear war? Is there anybody who would like to ask me to guarantee that there's no nuclear war between Russia and NATO and the US? I'm willing to do it. I can do it right now if you like. All right. All we really need is a blanket. Some of you will understand this. Some of you will not.
Those who understand will have to explain it to those who don't. But here's how we avoid nuclear war. Russia? You know you don't want nuclear war with the United States. It's literally the last thing you want. Ukraine? Ukraine? You know you don't want nuclear war. It's the last thing you want. NATO, US, you don't want nuclear war. It's the last thing you want. Do you know what all of you do want?
You want the big dog to get off the porch. You want January 20th to come. And you want to look as fierce and dangerous as you can be So that when you walk into those negotiations, you have maximum leverage. And then the big dog is going to make a peace. And you're going to accept it. You're going to complain like crazy, but you're going to accept it. So Russia and NATO, your two choices are this.
nuclear destruction of all of civilization, or wait a few weeks and everything will be fine. Which of those two choices sounds better to you? Complete nuclear destruction of civilization before we even get to Mars, or how about we just work it out on around January 20th, 21st, something like that. Now, given that
Every smart person in the world believes that a negotiated peace is now not only possible but guaranteed. And we know that Putin, as tough and mean as he can be, some say evil. But I'll tell you what nobody accuses Vladimir Putin of. Being irrational. Nope. Not once. He's not an irrational guy. Do you know what Trump is not? Irrational. You can hate his policies.
You can hate anything he says, his posts, blah, blah. He's not irrational. He is very, very transactional. And so is Putin. So you've got the two most transactional leaders, the strongest ones, the ones who can get what they want because they have enough clout in their own land to do it. They both want peace. They want it a lot. And of course, it's going to happen.
So here's what you need to know if you're worried. We have the lowest chance of nuclear war with Russia right now, between now and, you know, January, mid-January. It's the lowest risk of nuclear war. It'll never be lower than this. It's close to zero. And the reason is that 100% of the people involved can see that simply waiting
is almost guaranteed to work whereas using a nuke is basically death we've never seen choices this clear so could something accidental happen well i suppose but in terms of intentional nuclear war it's the lowest risk in your lifetime because it would be the only time that there's no argument for a nuclear war the next few weeks. None. A few missiles go into Russia. Sorry, that's not even close.

Chapter 6: What is the current state of U.S. politics regarding Trump?
And we need to say no or whatever, vice versa. So we'll be fine. It's actually the last thing I'd worry about today. It's not even on my list of things to think about. You will be fine. But the only reason you'll be fine is that all the reasonable people are up in arms, right? If you just sort of ignored it, that would be the wrong thing. But being super alert to how big a deal this is, is good.
That's where you want to be. That's where we are. All right. The Gateway Pundit says that people in the DOJ and FBI, at least the officials, are hiring their own criminal defense lawyers ahead of Trump's return. Now, how often have you hired a criminal defense lawyer when nobody has even accused you of a crime? Have you ever done that?
Well, nobody's accused me of a crime, and as far as I know, I haven't committed any. But, you know, I think I'd better get myself a criminal defense lawyer. Well, some of them might be genuinely innocent of all crimes and maybe just worried. But it sure looks guilty, doesn't it? Now, they're all innocent until proven guilty, so the standard is innocent.
But if it's really true that they're lawyering up, I feel that on some level they think that there's a real risk. On some level, I think a lot of people know they were part of a conspiracy. And I don't know if they know if that conspiracy was legal or not. Because let's say there was enough evidence for a RICO prosecution.
And it could be in several domains because the Democrats and everything from the military to the mainstream press and the intelligence people, they seem to coordinate on a lot of stuff. So at what point does the coordination, if the outcome is something illegal, hypothetically, at what point does the coordination toward that one outcome that's illegal become RICO?
So you can see a situation where somebody just took a meeting or took a phone call and they were sort of in on the plot, but maybe not super actively. They were just sort of part of the conversation and maybe didn't do something to stop it. Are they part of the RICO? Can you go to jail for being part of the conversation? Because the whole RICO is that it's a coordinated group planned activity.
If you're part of the people who are plotting... even if you didn't do the action. But the people who did the action met with you and got some advice, and you said, well, I'm not going to stop you. Are you guilty? I have no idea. So I want to say again, I'll say this many times, because I think the more I say it, the better. I'm completely opposed to any Trump lawfare.
If I see even the scent of it, I'm going to go nuts because we didn't go through all this work just to put a bunch of assholes in charge, right? We didn't fight this hard to get rid of lawfare just to do our own lawfare. That's no go. You better have really, really good evidence of a crime, you know, the way it should be. You should have really good evidence of a crime.
And I wouldn't go looking for it if there's not anything that's, you know, somewhat on the surface. So no, I am absolutely not okay with lawfare as any kind of revenge. And believe me, I feel like I've been a victim of coordinated activities. My cancellation I don't think happened just all in a vacuum.

Chapter 7: How are Democrats responding to recent election losses?
What kind of fraud are we talking about? Anyway, Elon Musk made a comment that maybe Doge can do something about fixing that. There has to be some kind of transparency change that can happen. Now, I've been saying forever that the United States is doomed unless we fix this one part of our system. You cannot have local city officials deciding who gets what contracts.
As soon as you do that, they all turn into criminals because it's just too easy to give it to your friend and take a bribe. So I think the law needs to be changed somehow, that there needs to be some either transparency or oversight or something. But otherwise, all local cities just attract criminals. It's kind of like I say about shoe salesmen.
If you see somebody who's a shoe salesman who's been working in the lady shoes sales department, Probably has a foot fetish. Just saying. Follow the money. Follow the fetish. Well, do you remember Dr. Deborah Birx from the pandemic days? Of course you do. She was sort of a right-hand person to Fauci. And she says she backs RFK Jr. for health and human services. How about that?
And she hopes for transparency. Well, here's my take. I don't need and nobody needs your nomination, your backing, Dr. Birx. Dr. Birx is a backer of the drinking bleach hoax. She was on the stage and listened to Trump very specifically talk about light as the disinfectant and can the light be brought into the body to be disinfectant, which was being trialed at that time.
was literally being tested or being set up to test at that time. And she allowed the media to say that he said, how about drinking bleach? And she never fucking corrected that. Fucking bitch. she's one of the people I just hate with a passion. I just fucking hate this lady because this was a big, big fuck up. Not just what you did, maybe for COVID, that can be somebody else's problem to do that.
But she stood there and watched one of the biggest hoaxes in America being formed around her and never, still has never figured out that Trump bookended it with light and He mentioned light, and then he talked about the light, and then he made sure that you knew he was talking about the light at the end, while the other ones were talking about something else. I can't forget that.
Burks, you need to do something about the drinking bleach hoax, and it's not good enough if you say he didn't use the word bleach, because if you turn it into, well, he didn't mean bleach, he meant some kind of liquid household disinfectant. No, he didn't. Nobody would say that. He didn't say that. He was very specific about what he was talking about. Light.
Which, by the way, was tested on inserting it down the trachea and didn't work out. So the trial was not a success, but it was a perfectly smart question to ask. Can you do this inside a body? So Trump had the smart question. The experts were wrong.
And the experts went away and told you that the smartest guy there, the one who knew about light being tested inside bodies, was really suggesting drinking fucking bleach. God, I'm so mad at that. Dr. Birx, you need to fix that. And then you can get back on the right side. Well, we're getting more trickles of information about Matt Gaetz and the ethics charges against him.

Chapter 8: What is the future of immigration enforcement in the U.S.?
And the reason is that we all have the same impression, which is, I wish you hadn't done that, but let's not talk about it. I mean, that's how people feel about 17. Most people. Anyway, celebrity endorsements don't work. Just the News is talking about this.
So that high profile celebrities like Oprah and Beyonce and all that doesn't seem to have changed the vote according to, I think, the Center Square did some kind of survey. They found that 12% said celebrity endorsements made them less likely to vote for a candidate. And 9% said more likely. Now, I think people are mostly lying in a poll like this.
I think that people say, no, those celebrities did not affect me because they don't want to look like an idiot whose vote was determined by Beyonce. So even if your vote was entirely determined by Beyonce, if somebody asks you, hey, are you an idiot? Well, I'm going to say no.
Because if you admitted that your vote had been changed by the boss or Oprah, you don't really sound like the smart one in the room. So I wouldn't trust any answers that people gave to, did those celebrity endorsements influence me? But clearly it did not win the day. So I suspect I'm on the page with the Democrats have no idea what Americans are thinking or feeling. I mean, sensationally so.
If they thought that in 2024, celebrities are what people were looking for for their political fixes, where do they get that? Like who in the world thought that? Now, I do think it's good for both sides to have their share of celebrity endorsements. So Trump had some too. But I think the way you should look at it is if they couldn't get any, that might mean something.
But if you can get 10, it's not going to be that much different than if you had 20 or 100, right? It would be something if you couldn't get any. But if you can get some, that's fine. They both got some. Apparently, that Venezuelan gang, Trenda Aragua, according to authorities, have already set up operations in 16 states, according to Homeland Security. They have to go first. That has to be really
I would be happy if 100% of our border enforcement was concentrated on this, like all of it. And I don't know how long it's going to take, but I wouldn't concentrate on anything else, not anything, until you got all of these, and that's going to take a while. According to Autism Capital, which is an account on X,
The difference in ideology between men and women is just huge now, the political difference. And it's in a number of countries. So it's not just an American phenomenon. It's the same in Germany and some other countries. So it used to be that male and female opinion sort of tracked together, and now it just went and just went in opposite directions.
Now, I saw a few different hypotheses on why this was. Melissa Chen said, on X, that it's because of feminism and birth control pills. Now, do birth control pills make you decide and act differently? I believe so. So that might be some of it. I don't know. Feminism? Does feminism make women do dumb things? Well, it's a mixed bag. Some feminism is good, some bad.
