Chapter 1: What does Scott Adams have to say about memory and coffee?
But I will upload the content from Locals to the other platforms. But we're good on Locals, and we're sort of almost good on X. So we're going to do it. By the way, there was a French study that says that coffee has astonishing powers to protect your memory. It might even be good against Alzheimer's. That's right. So the odds of you remembering this live stream, very good, if you had your coffee.
That's a study by Rolling Out. Khalil Best is writing about that. Well, are you all waiting for the Epstein files and the JFK files and the MLK files? All waiting for those? Good luck. I don't think there's really any chance we're going to see anything we don't know or anything shocking, if we see anything. Maybe we'll never see anything. But lower your expectations to zero.
Zero would be the right place. According to SciPost, Eric Nolan is writing about this. Have you ever seen these online quizzes where you can decide who you should vote for? So you say things like, are you in favor of this policy or this policy? And then you fill it out. And then it says, oh, you're a Democrat. You should vote for this person or you're a Republican.
Well, according to a study, I think that the person involved with this, you may have heard of, Robert Epstein. So he's done studies of Google and Google's influence. But he finds that these online surveys are more than just casual online surveys. Apparently, they bias you. toward one direction or another. So they can sort of turn you into a Democrat voter if you're on the fence.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of online quizzes on voter behavior?
So very diabolical. So watch out. If you see one of those, let me tell you who you should vote for surveys, they are meant to persuade, not to inform. So just know that that's a trick. You've been warned. Well, according to One American News, they're saying that Doge is reporting
that during the COVID period, this is so bad it's just funny, the $312 million in loans that were meant for small businesses during COVID were taken out by children. So we don't know if they're real children, but they seem to be children. In other words, fake. $312 million of fake loans to children.
Chapter 3: How did COVID loans fraud occur?
It seems to me fairly consistent that whenever there's a large bunch of money from the government for anything at all, it's gigantic fraud every time because they don't seem to do any kind of auditing or any kind of accounting or any kind of checking to see who gets it. We should just maybe give no money to anybody.
You know, if this were the only story today, I would be filled with outrage because my tax money went to loans to children. But I'm having outrage exhaustion. Anybody else have that? It's like every time I look at social media, oh, there's another $100 million somebody stole. Oh, there's another $200 million somebody stole. And it all starts just looking like baseline after a while.
So I worry that we will stop being outraged by stories that are really outrageous. Well, there's a new AI that everybody's talking about called Manus. And it's a Chinese AI. And the people who have tested it and written about it on social media seem to be blown away by how good it is. So it's not a regular AI. It's an AI agent. Now, the difference between a regular AI and an AI agent
is that regular AI, you can talk to it and ask it questions and it can give you good answers and it can tell you how to code something. But an agent, you can just tell to go do a thing and then it'll go do a thing.
Now, I'm not entirely clear about what things it could have access to, which of your other apps or your databases or whatever, but apparently it's wowing the people who are trying it and they think that China is not only not behind the United States in AI, but if you look at DeepSeq and you look at Manus, together they suggest that China might already be ahead.
Now, it could be that the only thing they're ahead in is doing things that we wouldn't do here, such as unleashing an agent, because the agent feels like that's a security risk. You would not be surprised that Tennessee is the first state to already ban it. So Manus just came within the week. It's already banned in Tennessee.
And I think there's more efforts by other attorney generals to ban all the Chinese AIs, to ban DeepSeek and probably more of them want to ban Manus. Probably a good idea. I could tell you that there's not a chance I would put that on my computer. I would never put on my computer something that's not only a Chinese AI, but it's an agent. Isn't that just asking for it? It's even called an agent.
It just sounds like the most dangerous thing you could put on your computer. Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, one in four new U.S. jobs posted are going to ask for AI skills. So it's not just that they want you to be an AI expert, but that whatever your job is, you should have a little capability with AI. Now, if I could give you any job advice whatsoever, it would be learn AI.
You don't have to learn how to create it. That's for other people. But you should know which AIs do what. And you should know generally how to make it do some stuff. And you should know how to ask questions and how to query things. You should know AI. It's not really optional if you're going to be a job seeker, especially. So make sure you know AI. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau is out.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of AI agents like Manus?
So even if they have a budget, they can't spend it. Is there some workaround? But my head just exploded. And Thomas Massey is the only one who's on this, the whole continuing resolution problem. Literally, the continuing resolution is when the Congress says, oh, we don't know how to do our basic job. We don't know how to do our fucking basic job, which is make a budget that works.
So we're not going to do it. So we're just going to kick the can down the road and bankrupt the country with unworkable debt. And then when we finally make some what looks like progress with Doge, they just bulldoze it like it didn't even matter. Now, I suppose there are some surprises ahead. You know, I don't think Doge is going to roll over. I don't think Trump's going to roll over.
But it kind of looks like it didn't work. I mean, tentatively speaking, that's not my final opinion. I'd like to be wrong about it. I'd love to be wrong about it. But when was the last time Massey was wrong about something like this? Never. This is his domain. If he says this isn't real... I'm going to take his word for it over Rubio. And I hate it. Absolutely hate it.
But we'll see where this goes. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice under Trump is launching an investigation into the price of eggs. The Department of Justice? What do they think they're going to find? So I guess there's some concern that maybe the big egg producers are artificially keeping the price high, which means artificially keeping the supply low. I don't know. Maybe.
But it seems like it's simpler than that. It seems like there's just not enough eggs. Now, maybe there's something else there. They wouldn't launch this investigation unless they meant it. But the Wall Street Journal is reporting on that. But apparently eggs are expected to rise by more than 40% in 2025. Another 40% for eggs? Wow. Anyway, I guess we'll find out what's up with eggs.
But I think that's just a very narrow look. They're just going to look at whether there's gouging, basically. That sounds like Biden. Now, here's my take on it. I've looked into this whole chicken problem, and I think where everything went wrong is where they allowed the chickens to work from home. Yeah, that's all I had. That's all I had. They shouldn't let the chickens work from home.
The remote working chickens, I don't think they're laying as many eggs. I think they're goofing off. Don't let them work from home. Anyway, Howard Lepnick, He was talking about Trump's tariffs, and specifically the ones on China and Mexico and Canada.
And he says, if fentanyl ends, meaning those countries stamp it out and keep it from coming into the U.S., I think these will come off, meaning tariffs. But if fentanyl does not end, or Trump is uncertain about it, they will stay this way until he's comfortable. He said that at Meet the Press. Now, I hate to be negative, Nellie,
But I don't really think there's much chance that the tariffs are going to affect in the long term fentanyl. But I also don't have a better idea. It's the only idea that looks serious that has maybe some chance of working. But I would bet against it, unfortunately. Now, if I had a better idea, I'd say, don't do this. Get rid of those tariffs. It's a waste of time.

Chapter 5: Who is Mark Carney and what is his political significance?
And then Van Jones said that offending most people in the country and calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name and then saying, please follow us. That's not a good strategy, folks. So every time I hear somebody who actually does understand what's going on, and I think Van Jones, he's obviously playing for one team, but he understands.
This is a very clear statement of the problem. But it doesn't look solvable. That's the funny thing. They've created a situation where there's just no way back. They have too many people who want to be woke and a bunch of people who don't, and you can't reconcile that. The people who are just all down on wokeness, they're not going to give it up. So what do you do?
Well, let me tell you what the other Democrats are doing to try to right the ship. According to Politico, this sounds like I'm just making it up, but according to Politico, a lot of Democrats have started cursing in public. So they give a whole bunch of examples of Democrats using the F word and the S word and the GD word. And apparently it's sort of a big trend.
And I'm thinking to myself, they are so out of ideas that they're really doubling down on this. If we can get the messaging right, if we could just get the messaging right. And then they look at Trump. And they'll see that every now and then he'll throw an S word into his speeches and stuff. And they'll go, yes, yes, that's what it is. We need more cursing. But no, I'm joking.
They didn't just say, we just need more cursing. They also need more cringe videos. And then Elon Musk was pointing out that the liberals seem to be getting violent. You know, they're attacking Tesla locations, etc. And so they've got cursing. They've got cringe videos. They've got random violence. And then they've got Representative Hank Johnson, Democrat from Georgia.
He just in public, he actually said this. He believes that Trump and the MAGA movement want black Americans, quote, confined and back to, quote, picking cotton. So that should move the ball forward.
And then Jasmine Crockett, who might be the dumbest Democrat of all, so they're giving her the most attention because they're like, oh, I don't know if the cursing and the cringe videos and the violence are enough. We better have our dumbest, worst spokesperson be the most prominent one.
So Jasmine Crockett went on some show, MSNBC, and said it's not illegal for illegal aliens to come into the country. It's not a crime. It's not a crime to come into the country illegally. They're not sending their best. Anyway. As you know, the teachers' unions are destroying America because the foundation of American power is education.
If you get education wrong, which we apparently are doing, you don't really have a future. There's no chance. And that's where we're at. And mostly, I would say that's the fault of the teachers' unions. And the teachers' unions, of course, would like the kids to have a good education, but their primary...

Chapter 6: What does the continuing resolution mean for USAID funding?
Wait a minute. Is Russia behind the teachers unions? Well, not that I know of. We have these wildly divisive elements in the U.S. I feel like this Yuri Bezmenov was either just monetizing what was going to happen anyway by acting like he had this theory about why it's all happening. I don't trust that guy at all. I feel like he's the op, but that's just a feeling. I don't have proof of that.
Anyway, so if all these countries are influencing us by boosting the worst, most corrosive parts of our society, they don't have a chance compared to the boosting that the Democrats are doing to those exact same entities, and Soros in particular. So anyway, I don't really know how to think about that other than it doesn't look like it's the biggest problem in the world.
compared to what we're doing to ourselves. The stuff coming from inside the tent. Meanwhile, Israel announced yesterday that it's going to be cutting off electricity to Gaza, which would have the effect of cutting off water, because the desalination plant there would require that electricity. I guess they're going to cut off humanitarian aid. I believe they have food...
It would last them maybe weeks or months, but no more humanitarian aid. Now, this, of course, is trying to squeeze them to give up or to give up the hostages. But according to The Hill, Tara Souter is writing, that the Trump hostage envoy thinks that we might have a deal with Hamas, or that we could have a deal soon, to free all of the hostages within weeks.
So Adam Bowler is the White House Special Envoy, and he thinks that every hostage taken by the militant group Hamas could be freed all at the same time in weeks. Now, that doesn't even seem remotely likely to me. Do you think there's something we don't know about? Because if there's no new variables on the table, I don't see how we'd get a different outcome.
So remember what Trump said, if you don't release them all, they'll be hell to pay? Is it possible that we've delivered a threat that they completely feel is real? Maybe to the leadership? Maybe to, I don't know, to Iran? Maybe the threat's on Iran. If we don't get them back, we're going to take out your nuclear facilities?
So it seems to me that this is one of those cases where we may never understand what the real deal was. Maybe we offered something of value. Maybe we offered a better threat. I don't see how this could just sort of work all of a sudden. I don't know. But we'll be optimistic.
Now, the other day, somebody in the comments challenged me to do the best I could to describe the Palestinian side of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Now, that would be the ultimate third rail. So, of course, I said yes. Because I think I'm attracted to trouble. So let's see if I can do this and still be in business tomorrow. All right?
So I'm going to give you the best objective description of the situation. The first thing I would say, if you're looking at the Palestinian, and here I'm not talking about just Gaza, so we'll talk about the Palestinians more generally. I don't think you can understand the situation in terms of who's good and who's bad.

Chapter 7: What are the Democrats doing to regain political influence?
I don't believe that there's an existing database that if you just looked at it carefully, you would know if there's a link between vaccines and autism. Are you kidding me? There's no way we have a database that if you just looked at it really carefully, you would know the answer. No. Now, I saw in the comments before I came on,
that all you'd have to do is study, let's say, the Amish or the Mennonites or whoever they are, because there are some groups that are not vaccinated. So if you check the unvaccinated group and they didn't have any autism, well, then you'd say to yourself, aha, it must be those darn vaccinations. But that won't work because there are too many things that are different about the Amish.
Let me give you an example. One of the hypotheses that I'd heard years ago, but now I don't believe it's true, but it is one of the hypotheses that what's different about the modern world is that smart people meet other smart people more easily. So we go to college and you, let's say you go to MIT, you're more likely to meet somebody that you get married to.
who's also a top engineer or basically a nerd. And there's some indication that if you take two people who are kind of sort of near the spectrum and they have a child, the odds of them being on the spectrum are way higher. Now, I can't promise you that's true. That's just something that's been around for a long time. Now, the Amish... don't reproduce that way. So that's not their mating strategy.
Presumably, their mating strategy is old school, where it's like, Jake, looks like you're ready for a wife. Sally down the road, she'd be a good wife. All right, she's the only one available. So it feels like the Amish may just do old school mating, And it would avoid the nerds hooking up because they both work at Microsoft. Maybe. I don't know.
The other thing is that the Amish are not eating the same food. They're not eating processed food. The other thing is they're spending more time outdoors. And you could probably come up with five different things that the Amish do that are just clearly different in terms of lifestyle and exposure to things. I mean, maybe it's something like... I'm just going to make this one up.
Don't take this seriously. But what if it's like exposure to lead? I'm not speculating that. I'm using it to make the point. Because the Amish wouldn't have the same exposure. So it could be a pollutant that is common to everybody but the Amish. So I don't think you can study the Amish and know whether vaccines cause autism. But on positive, there's no existing database that can tell you that.
I don't believe any of that. Now, maybe that's just the first thing that RFK Jr. has to do. Maybe he has to get past let's look at all our existing databases and see if it tells us anything before you can get to the next level of, you know, is there a better way to start tracking this? So I'm in favor of the effort. I just think maybe it's a little harder than it looks. At the same time, RFK Jr.
is going to meet with the, according to ZeroEdge, going to meet with the leaders of the processed food industry. What is that going to produce? Because it feels like they're not going to say, oh, yes, I will greatly reduce my yields or I'll let my food rot faster just so that we have fewer chemicals and seed oils and stuff in them. I don't know that you can just talk them into it. But maybe.
