Come on in. We got a show to do. You might like it. You might. It's entirely possible. Come on in here and grab a seat. Get a beverage. Trying to figure out how to get to my book. All right. It's over there somewhere. Come to me. Come to me. There we go. There we go. Everybody feeling good today? It's a special day. I'll tell you why in a minute. Very special day. You'll never guess why. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience today up two levels that nobody can even understand. Oh, with their tiny, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a copper mug or a glass. A canteen jugger flask. No, no, no. That's not right. You need a copper mug or a glass, and then you need a tanker shells or stein. But then you need a canteen jug of flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Oh, it's a two hander situation. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine day of the day thing makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous step. It happens. Now go with some good coffee. Excellent. Excellent. Well, I wonder what's happening today. Anything happening. That would be like amazing. Anything at all. Oh, yeah. The new Dilbert 2026 calendar is launching today. If you go to Amazon.com and look for my name and the 2026 calendar, but you make sure you get this one, not the one that's a counterfeit and not the other counterfeit and not the other pirated one. And not the counterfeit. The counterfeit or the counterfeit. Get the real one and skip the pirated. Pirated. Counterfeit. Counterfeit. Counterfeit. Which, by the way, Amazon is helping us get rid of. But there are a lot of them now. What you don't know, it's printed entirely in the usa. And unlike all the years except last year, it's the first year we did it this way. We've got a little stand. And look how this little stand has a little flag on it. Because it's printed in the usa. That's right. It is made in America. And you know what else is special about it? Let me tell you. Once I got canceled, I could do it any way I wanted. And so, for the first time ever, it's got comics on the front and the back of every page is literally twice as Good as before I got canceled, but twice as good. No, it's better than twice as good because the new comics on the back are the spicy ones, which we call Dilbert Reborn. Because there's nobody who's my editor who tells me, I can't do this. But do you mean I can't do this? I can do anything I want. It's a free country. So this is freedom, people. You got stuff on the front that might have passed the corporate filter back when it was originally created. By the way, these are all comics that have run in some place, usually just online, but you've got comics from the past combined with comics from the past year. So there's some that are much older and then there's some that are from this past year. The past year are the spicy ones. And if you go to Amazon, it's the only place you can buy it because the free shipping, it was just easier to do it in one place. So I would hope. Oh, by the way, I'm going to say something that sounds like pure marketing, but. But you know I'm not going to lie about this, right? So this is not a lie. This is. This is completely true. We probably printed fewer than we people will want to buy. So we be. Because I have to pay for these upfront, I have to estimate how many we're going to sell. And so I went low because I didn't. I didn't want to do all this work and then end up spending more than I made, which is very possible. So there is a relatively small number of printed ones, tens of thousands, but it would be a fraction of what we would normally make. So if you want to make sure you get one. And I swear this is real, I'm not only saying it for marketing, but it's also marketing. Obviously, I would get it right away because there's a pretty good chance that these will be sold out by December. And again, obviously, that just sounds like marketing and sales and sounds like bs, but we actually created the situation intentionally because we didn't want to print too many. So definitely not bs. Now, as a tradition requires. Oh, this is the stand, by the way. Cool little stand. I'm going to give you a reframe of the day from my book, which has been out for a while. Reframe your brain. Look at all these people have already ordered it. You're awesome. I love you guys. You're the best. Let me make sure that I can see your comments really clearly. Put them on two different machines. That'll get it done. All right, so this would be in the mental health reframes port of my reframe your brain book. Here it is. Well, there's a few that I want to skip. Yeah, here's what I told you about this one before, but this is more like a magic trick. But if you try it and it works, it'll be your magic trick. So I'd say this is. This is not on the level of some of the other ones where it definitely will make your life better. If you listen to the reframe, this one just might be really, really convenient for some small number of people. It goes like this. The usual frame is that if you're cold, the coldness is a form of pain and could also be a signal that you're in danger. That's what pain's for, right? Coldness is just a form of pain. But I once saw somebody reframe coldness and stand outside in freezing temperatures just because they'd reframed it in their mind and stayed out there for probably two hours assembling a piece of outdoor furniture. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. But the reframe is that coldness makes you healthier and stronger. Now, I don't know if it does. That's not really relevant. But if you feel like the coldness is contributing to your good health, it actually feels different. So this is a little hypnotist track. If you're standing outside and saying, my God, it's cold, it's injuring me, you'll feel like you're being injured and you won't be able to take it. If you say, the colder I am, it's like a cold plunge. People literally pay. They pay to be made really cold. So it can't be terrible to be, you know, half as cold as people pay for. So you just imagine that the cold is making you healthier. You'll be amazed that for some of you, and again, this won't work for most people, but for some of you, you're going to be amazed. You're like, could I have done this the whole time? I tried this and it worked. I just made cold go away for at least some set of temperatures. Well, Eric Dolan is writing Inside Post. The Wikipedia's news sources show a moderate liberal leaning. How many of you could have guessed that if they did a study of the Wikipedia sources that you would find that they lean left? I'll bet you every one of you knew that. Maybe the surprise is that it's moderate, but sort of depends what you call Moderate, doesn't it? All right, so next time they don't have to do that study. You could just ask Scott. Scott, do you think Wikipedia leans left? Yes. We're going to do a study to find out. Yes, you don't have to cancel that study. All right, here's one. You tell me if this is backward science. Backward science, where they get the cause and effect backwards. You decide. The BMJ group is writing about this. They say that voting behavior in elections is linked to future risk of death. So if, if you think you're going to live a long time, you're more likely to vote. Is it the voting that makes you live longer or is it more likely that the being in good shape which makes you live longer makes you more likely to do everything that is physical? Is there anything in the world that you don't do more of when you're feeling good? I don't think so. I think it's backwards science. Yeah, backwards science. All right. I like to teach you to spot backward science because it's just everywhere. And by the way, the, the write up did acknowledge that the, that the causation could be either direction. So I will give them credit for being transparent about that. Apparently the White House posted a tick tock video featuring the President dancing to a Nicki Minaj song because Nicki Minaj and the President are on the same page about alleged Christian massacres in Nigeria. I'm gonna say alleged because I haven't looked into it. There are a lot of smart, well informed people who say it's happening. So I'm not doubting it. I just don't know. Haven't looked into it. But there is some pushback. So the only thing I know is that some people are saying there's not that much Christian massacring going on in Nigeria. To which I say, how much would be the right amount? What exactly is the right amount of Christian massacring that you say that's about right? Yeah, I thought it was going to be high, but that's about right. That's about right. Anyway, so I don't know the number, but the post, Millennials all over this. Roberto Hucarell Cruz is writing about it and Nicki Minaj, I think, thanked President Trump for speaking out about it. So that's one of her causes. She said, the President and his team thank the President's team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let's remember to lift them up in prayer. So once again, President Trump finds a popular thing. This has got to be 9010. I don't know. Is there somebody who's in favor of the massacre of the Christian churches? Well, a few people, but fortunately not too many. All right, what else? There was an election yesterday, but it was so boring, I'm not even get to that first. German heating costs are up 82% this year or. Or since the Nordstream blast. Actually up 82% according to European Conservative. That would be a publication. 82%. Do you know how mad we would be if our energy costs were up 82% and we knew exactly why and who did it? That's Germany's situation. They know why that Nordstrom thing blew up, they knew who did it and they know exactly what the impact on them is. But I guess they're just taking it, so I don't know what they're going to do to fix that. Anyway, according to an account called Kim, or you could call this person Chubby because that's what they call themselves, Researchers have come up with a gel that can fix your teeth, at least the surface of your teeth, so it's not a patch, like a coating that you can put on your teeth and it will get rid of your cavities or prevent them, I guess. So we might be on the. On the cusp of the, you know, half of whatever we call dentistry just going away. And it won't be because of AI, it'll just because they have some gel that they can put on your teeth and you won't get cavities. That'd be cool. But then it will all be cosmetic after that. Yeah. So I'm seeing in the comments that you found some of the pirates that the pirate copies are a different color, first of all. So you want to look for the one that's the sort of the burnt, what is it? The Orangish. You don't want the blue ones or the other colors and you don't want the one that spells Dilbert with a space after the I. So if they misspelled Dilbert on the Dilbert calendar, that would be like a. A signal that that's not a legal one. All right, this guy, Jeff Yass, some billionaire trader guy, Jeff yass, he donated $100 million to the university of Austin, which, if you've not heard about it, it's so just recently set up, I think in the last year or so, maybe a year ago. And it's a fledgling program set up by some venture capitalists like Joe Lonsdale and journalist Barry Weiss. And I think it's the anti woke attempt. So they're, they're trying to make a college that's, you know, a little bit more resistant to being captured by wokeness. And now you've got a hundred million dollars coming in from one billionaire. So it looks like they're well funded. So that's amazing. That's probably the difference between this working out and not working out. Is that 100 million? Nicely done. All right, so there's a big election yesterday. Three states got new governors. It was all Democrats. The Democrats won everything. Nobody's surprised. The polls told us they were going to win. They're, they're blue states where you'd expect them to win. So you got mom Donnie, who's your communist, says Trump at least socialist mayor of New York. We'll see if that destroys the city or not. We've got Spanberger, governor of Virginia. We got Cheryl, that's last name governor of New Jersey. And what I saw from a post by Rachel Janfaza is that young women are the story for the election. Why would she say that? Because 81% of young women voted for Mondami, 80% of young women voted for Cheryl and 78% voted for Spanberger. Per NBC's exit polls, the would tell you sort of nobody else mattered. Women just decided, well, we're just going to take over this election. So women like the communists now. Are you surprised? You know, we've talked about this before. Like what, what would be the reason that the young women would be, would be so completely different than the rest of the country? What would be the reason? I don't know. Probably their sources of information that'd be part of it. By the way, if you missed the news Yesterday, I'm basically Dr. Manhattan today. I'm radioactive, like actually radioactive because I had some nuclear medicine treatment yesterday. So I've got one more day. I have to stay away from mammals because I'll turn them into nuclear holocausts. And it makes me very thirsty. So I'm going to be drinking a lot more water in front of you. So in case you're wondering, it also makes me so tired. You know, whenever you get a new medication, they tell you you're going to be tired. Oh, I've never felt this tired. I've been tired before. You know, I always tell you that I, for years I've been telling you that I sleep about four hours a night and I'm completely aware that nobody believes that's true. You don't believe that's true. Right. I sleep four hours a night and I get this Apple watch. And without me even asking, it just tracks how much I sleep. And then I looked at my last couple of weeks. Four hours every night, completely unplanned. Didn't matter when I went to sleep matter what else was happening. Four hours. So it's actually true. I was actually wondering if it was really four hours. It felt like it. I mean, it always felt like it. But sure enough, four hours. Anyway, the other theory for why the young women would like the socialists is that they're bad at self defense. Women are not optimized. They didn't evolve for self defense the same way men do. And the way men evolved would be less about let's share everything and more about can I just win? Can I just. Maybe I could just kill this animal and we could just eat our family. Maybe our family could just enjoy all this meat that I just got. Maybe I don't have to give it to everybody. So there's definitely a male, female, evolutionary difference. And unfortunately, if women become big enough numbers to control the electorate, which in these cases apparently they have, that would guarantee a destruction of those places. It would guarantee it. Not maybe it would guarantee it because. Because they don't have the same sense of self, let's say self protection. They wouldn't have the same sense of the risk. They would think everything's fine, we'll just be nice to everybody. If we're nice to everybody, everybody. Things will just sort of work out. Nope. They'll all be dead. Well, poor Bill Ackman. I've decided to like Bill Ackman even. No matter how much I might dislike or disagree with him on politics. And I. I know that that will be unpopular. So I don't want him to have, you know, necessarily more power or anything like that. I just decided to like him. Is that okay? Here's what I like about him. He is completely fearless. Well, no, that's not true. I. I believe he probably has a normal amount of fear, you know, that normal people have. But he still acts like he'll still do something. Even when his risk, his personal risk is just through the roof. So he's taking a lot of risks with his investments. He's taking a lot of risks with the politics. And here's another example. Poor guy, he's. He's just trying to be useful. So you know, he'd been anti mom dummy. Which feels useful to me, right? Educated, important public figure. He was anti mom Donnie. So that seemed like good. But then mom Donnie wins. And then Bill Ackman says on X, congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help New York City, just let me know what I can do. Now, people didn't like that. They, they didn't like that he immediately became available as a helper to the person. Maybe we don't want to be helped that much. So. But I love the. I personally like the fact that he offered. I don't think anybody's going to take him up on the offer, but I kind of like the fact that he offered. So. And I also don't mind. It doesn't bother me when I see people say you should stay, you know, just stay on your side and, you know, let's make sure that the other side doesn't do well because that's the only way we survive is if we make sure they don't do well and then the voters notice and get rid of them. So I can see both sides of this pretty easily. However, I'm going to choose that I like brave people who are trying to be useful. That's sort of my weak spot. If you're brave and you're trying to be useful, it's hard to beat that combo. This is the same reason I've never said this before, but have I. Bill Maher, his entire career, I think is probably based more than anything else on the fact that he's not afraid of anything. Like he'll do stand up comedy even if he might bomb. How many of you could do that? How many of you could do stand up comedy before you're good at it? That, that takes a lot of guts. So when I see Bill Maher, even if I'm disagreeing with him on, you know, huge issues and stuff, which I often do. Fewer, fewer lately, but historically I've disagreed with them on some big stuff. I still think, wow, that was brave of you to say that in public. So I like the brave ones who are trying to help even if I disagree with all their policy preferences. Well, according to Polymarket, Florida and Texas, real estate prices are going to go up because of all the escaping millionaires. Do you feel like that's overdone a little bit? How many of you think the whole the millionaires are going to pack up the, the buggy and move out of New York, apparently there, there has been a loss of millionaires, but I don't believe our data is good enough to really know if we're losing. You know, 1% of our millionaires. Like that would be slicing it too fine. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, I wouldn't I wouldn't have any big debate about it, but it does seem to me that maybe we're worried a little bit too much about the millionaires leaving. You remember what I told you not too long ago, that apparently the, the, the commercial real estate in New York City actually is recovered. Now, how many of you thought that would happen? The commercial real estate would already, like, right now is already recovering. Didn't see that coming. So we could be equally blind to just millionaires like, ah, damn it. I'm going to complain as loudly as I can, but everything I care about is here. Yeah. Anyway, Mom, Donnie gave a speech and nobody cares what he said. Nobody cares about this election. Really. We're all trying to find meaning in this election. Probably. Probably. There's not much meaning. They just said three candidates, they were better than the other candidates, you know, according to their own side, and that was enough. Anyway, Mom, Domini says New York will remain a city of immigrants. Now, let me say that like it's an actual English word. City of immigrants, not the city of a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. Well, he's pretty good with the words. Good with the words. Also here In California, Proposition 50, as we called it, pass. And apparently that would allow California to change their districting lines in the state, which could change the number of people that they send to Washington to represent them, which could give them more Democrats and fewer Republicans. Like none. And it passed. So here's what Californians like. They like having a nonpartisan commission that decides what the lines are. Now we know that. Not from the election, because that's not what the election was. But we know that from a survey. Then nine out of 10 California voters said they'd like to see a nonpartisan commission decide what the district thing is. Do you know what the current situation is? Current situation is exactly what 9 out of 10 voters wanted a non partisan commission. What did they vote for? So 9 out of 10 wanted a non partisan commission. What did they vote for? They voted to get rid of the non partisan commission. Do you think they knew what they were voting for? No. No, they didn't. They did not. So there was an election just for the purpose of getting people to vote for the opposite of what they thought they wanted without knowing that that's what they just did. Now, to be fair, if you'd asked the question this way and said, how would you like us to cleverly, cleverly redistrict so that there were more Democrats in Congress and fewer Republicans. Well, Then they would get, you know, nine out of 10 people would say yes to that. So it's all about how you ask the question. Well, now we're going to have this stupid argument all day long and probably for weeks or months about now that mom dummy got elected, is he the leader of the party or is it AOC and the, the Republicans are going to try to get advantage by pushing that whoever they think is least capable is the leader of the party. Yeah, it was funny watching the Republicans trying to push Jasmine Crockett and, and, and Bernie Sanders and AOC as the heads of the party because, you know, Republicans know that they're not going to be the, the most popular ones among the, the normies. So now we'll argue about this all day long. You see, you see the avowed socialist head of the party because if he's the head of the party, then the Democratic Party is really socialists. And if it's socialists, they're not really, you know, it's going to be, you're going to be so tired of that argument, it's going to be forever. Msnbc, apparently at least two times people are watching them carefully brought up the idea that Trump tearing down the ballroom and building new ballroom might be the reason that Republicans didn't do well in the election. How many of you think that isn't bad crazy? Isn't it a little bat shit crazy to think that the election results in these three states had anything to do with building a ballroom for the White House? Now it's possible because just the way the news handled it like this, this is your sure sign of authoritarian rule. Look at this ballroom. Nobody would build a ballroom like this except Hitler killer. He's the only one who would build a ballroom and he only had one ball, but he needed room for it. So that's crazy. I think Lawrence O. Donnell actually suggested that maybe thousands of people voted who would not have voted otherwise, but they were motivated by the ballroom. How dumb are their viewers that they'd be watching this and like, yeah, yeah, probably motivated by that ballroom. I, I could see that being true. I mean, seriously, how dumb would you have to be to think that that was a motivating factor for the governor of New Jersey? No. All right. I was just desperately looking for anybody who had a different take. You know, anything interesting to say about the election that wasn't what everybody else was saying. The closest we got was Palantir CEO Alex Karp talking about Zoran Momdani in New York City. And he said this, he said, quote, we're about to probably have a complete disaster. He says he was born in New York. Now, that part's standard. A lot of people are saying that. He said, if you asked, do these things actually work now, these things. He's referring to the socialist policies for bringing down expenses, you know, like your free transportation and your subsidized housing and your free food. So. So Alex Garp is asking, do these things actually work? And everyone's like, of course I'm not. Of course I'm not going to vote for that, because these things obviously don't work. So of course you're not going to vote for that because it doesn't work. And he says that instead of asking, does it work? They ask, does it work in theory. Oh, now we've got something interesting. So does that sound right? You've heard me say this a few times. I think you've heard on the Five, you've heard Greg Guffel talk about the imaginary problems the Democrats have. The Republicans have real policies, mostly not for health care, but for other things. They have real policies for real problems. And the. And the Democrats have literally imaginary solutions to imaginary problems, and they're actually competing against people with real solutions to real problems. And sort of like a tie. But. But what? Alex Karp says, CEO of Palantir, he said, instead, they asked, meaning the Democrats, does it work in theory? Yeah. That kind of is what's happening, isn't it, that the Democrats are asking, does it work in theory? In other words, it's imaginary. It's just. It's wild that imaginary problems are just thrown in the mix with the real ones. And then we just treat them like it's like, well, some imaginary, some real, but we'll treat them all the same. And then we'll get real ridiculous by trying to draw some conclusion that this election yesterday tells us something about the midterm results that will happen in 2026. Do you think that this election tells you anything about the midterm? It might have told you that if Trump's not on the ballot, you don't do so well if you're Republican. But you knew that, so it didn't really tell you that you knew that. But what did it tell us? I mean, to me, it seemed like the election was sort of generic, and it was entirely about which candidate people liked better, and it wasn't much more than that. Anyway, the Wall Street Journal says that if Democrats can convince voters that they're better, they're a better bet for the economy. The GOP is In trouble. To which I say, what kind of an opinion is that? So that's a Wall Street Journal opinion. Which one of you could not have written that opinion? I. I've got an idea. All right, now hear me out. If we do a really good job and make people richer. Hold on, hold on. I'm piecing this together. If we make them richer, they would like us less. No, not less. Not less. No, they would like us more. And if they liked us more, trying to think how that would turn out for us if we ran for an election, they like us more. They're far less likely to vote. No, more likely, they're more likely to vote for us. That's right. If they like us more and we make money and they make money for us, we'll like them more. These opinions are ridiculous. These are literally just common sense wrapped up. Like somebody came up with the idea, you know, the first time anybody came up with the idea that giving people money would make them want to vote for you. Yeah, it does. Has the government opened up yet? I heard some rumors yesterday, but no confirmation, that the dirty Democrats were planning to open up the government once the election was over because they wanted to use it as an issue, but they didn't want it to go beyond that. So government's not open. Right. At least not. Not the full government. Yeah. All right, so that didn't happen, but we'll keep an eye on that. I do think it is possible that the Democrats will say, you know, it's about time we opened up this government. So that might happen. Trump is still threatening that he might want to nuke the filibuster rule so that they can get things done with 50. Well, a bare majority instead of the 60 votes that it takes to break a filibuster. So we'll see if he does that. I'm. You know, I told you I was. I'm not really a big fan of breaking the filibuster, except in this exact situation where the other team is just not even pretending to be helpful. If you're not even pretending, you know, to be part of a government that's trying to work for the people, then, yeah, just nuke the whole thing, you know? And will that cause problems down the road? Yeah. But will they be worse than not having a government, which is what our current situation is, or running up the debt to ruinous levels? Yeah. I mean, it all sounds bad, but could it be worse? Well, let's talk about some other countries. Apparently, according to News Nation, the US Submitted some plans to The UN about an idea for a security council for Gaza. Security Council. So basically that would be boots on the ground, ideally, not American boots. That would be the peace plan guarantors for Gaza. What do you think happened? Do you think everybody loved it and then we're all set? No. No, I don't think so. So we don't know where that's going, but there's going to be a whole bunch of. How about this? How about that? I would say that so far, the Gaza ceasefire, as Trump says, I think I would call it holding. You know, even though they're. Every day there's some report of somebody who broke the ceasefire. That's so normal with one, you know, situation like this, that that's a lot closer to not breaking the ceasefire, even though technically it's being broken. It just isn't big enough that it would derail anything. Anyway, speaking of Venezuela, which we weren't. Oh, by the way, we got these seven bodies of the dead hostages that are American have been returned. So there's still some, some dead bodies of hostages from other countries that have yet to be returned, but the American ones have. So that's. That's not nothing. Apparently. We're. The US Is putting a whole bunch of firepower around Venezuela, so we're sending our. What is it, our biggest, biggest warships. So the U.S. s Gerald Ford is, they say, steaming toward the region. Steaming? Are we sending a steamboat into a war zone? No, it's not steaming. How about it's motoring very hard, or it's nuclear. Nuclear engine. It's not a steam engine anyway. And I guess we've got some other big warships over there making it look like we're starting to look like we're converting from a defensive kind of catch a few cartel people to something that looks more like a total offensive horse is what it looks like. So that would suggest that we're getting ready for some kind of on the ground action or at least shooting some artillery or sending some drones. But it looks like we're getting real serious about Venezuela. Or is this part of Trump's usual strategy where he makes them think, oh, I'm definitely going to attack your country one last, you know, unless we could work out a deal. I mean, I'm not a hundred percent committed to it, but I wouldn't say I'm not. I won't say I am, but I'm not saying I'm not. So this is his usual way of negotiating. He's creating an asset that he can trade away, and the asset is do you really want all of our warships surrounding your country, and you don't know if we're gonna unleash them at any minute? Is that what you want? Because we can give you that, but it'd be better if he negotiated, but we could give you that anyway, I guess. We took out some more drug boats. It's the 16th. There's a lot of them. Second strike in two days. No American has yet been injured or killed in these attacks because we're doing it from the air. But my take on this is it's a good thing we started now before the drone, before the cartels got air superiority, because, you know, that was always a possibility. If the cartels had concentrated on developing, let's say, whatever drone facilities they need to do what they're doing, they might have also developed some defensive weapons that were drones. So you don't want to get to a point where the bad guys have so much time that they've developed their own air force. And that's exactly what was happening. The cartels were developing their own air force, mostly drones, or maybe all drones, I don't know. But at some point, the US had descended in the military because the cartels were just becoming their own military. You can't let that, you know, happen forever. So, of course we're going to get tough with Mexico. Eric Trump's having some fun. He was on the Pod Force One podcast, and he refused to rule out his father running for a third term. Now, that is so Trumpy. In a good way. It's Trumpish in the best possible way that I'm sure, Eric and, you know, Don Jr. And the whole family, that they certainly know that if they leave that option, like, maybe it's a possibility, even though Trump himself has had, you know, there's no path for that, but if they leave it open, they know it's. It's a news cycle, and it makes it look like he's so popular that maybe the third term makes sense. And it's funny. So I. I like it when he keeps the option open because it just. It just makes me laugh every time I see it. Anyway, apparently Google just announced that they're going to build data centers in space and they're going to launch something in 2027 to get them closer to that. So apparently there's some advantages of temperature and atmosphere and all that, so it would be way cheaper if they can pull it off and way better. So that's happening. But at the same time that Google is looking at data centers in space, the moon is being looked at as also a perfect place for a data center. I guess the dark side of the moon is super cold and that's good. And there's some crater there that's super extra cold and that's good. So there's, there's actually some thought about using the moon as our, you know, data centers because it's so cold. Okay, that's cool. So we're going to use the moon, we're going to use space and all of it's because trying to get to Mars. So maybe, maybe. Anyway, so here's a surprise. Do you remember when Trump had first nominated Elon Musk's. I don't know if he's a friend or somebody that he just likes, but his name was Jared Isaacman and he got nominated and accepted. But then I guess somebody told Trump that he was a long, he was a long term Democrat. Now I don't know if there were other reasons, but he was basically terminated for being the head of the space program while being a Democrat. Trump wasn't cool with that. There might have been more of the story, but that's, that's the part the news reported. Right. I don't know if there's more, but of course Elon didn't like that because he thought he was a good pick to run it in the short term. Sean Duffy's been running it and Elon Musk pretty much took him out of the game by suggesting that he had a two digit iq and he actually said that and that you should have somebody with a three digit IQ running NASA. And apparently that was enough with whatever else was happening behind the scenes for Trump to actually hire this guy. So it looks like he's actually going to be in that job that originally they wanted to be in. Now here's the thing. It wouldn't be the first time that somebody who is a registered Democrat decided, you know, in this particular situation I can work with President Trump totally effectively, right? Everybody from RFK Jr. To Elon Musk to, to me, you know, a lot of registered Democrats who said, yeah, I can be a registered Democrat and, and work with Trump on all these things I agree with. So it could be, it was just that maybe, maybe it was just getting some extra comfort with him. Maybe, maybe Elon had made some extra guarantees that he'd make sure it worked. I don't know. But I do like the fact it was reversed because whenever, whenever I see my government, especially the Trump administration, whenever I see them act quickly and then sometimes it's Too quickly never bothers me because action tends to be the thing that's, you know, more determinant of success than non action. So I like the fact that they might act faster than they're ready to act. At least for personnel stuff, you know, we're not talking about war. War would be a different standard. But then when you find out that maybe you made a mistake, I love the fact that they just correct it. If that's what's happening. Right. I'm not close enough to this story, but if. What if what's happening is what it looks like, which is the administration maybe acted too fast or went too far, and then they're just correcting it. That's terrific. Do more of that. I always judge people by the correction, not by whatever you thought was a mistake. It's just a better standard. You know, I keep telling you that big companies are going to pretend that AI is the reason they're downsizing, but the real reason is their business isn't doing as well as I thought. Well, there's a name for it now, cnbc. It's got three authors here, Fond Rouge, Palmer in Holland, they call it AI Washington. So where. That's where you blame AI for your. Your downsizing, but it's not really. It's not really AI doing it. So that's a real thing. And apparently the big, big companies have cut like 60,000 jobs this year. And since there's no Bureau of Labor Statistics at the moment, well, there's no statistics, but the. The Bureau is there. We don't know what's going on, really. So we're flying a little bit blind. But it does not look like AI is causing layoffs. It looks like that's being faked a little bit. The Philadelphia Art Museum director got fired for focusing too much on dei. Is that the first time we've ever heard of that? That somebody got fired for spending too much time on dei? I know it's worked the other way. You know, you get fired if you're not DEI enough. But times, they are changing. So this is in the Post Millennial. Hannah Nightingale's writing about it if you want to see more. But apparently she is just a little too dei. Amazon has now sent a legal threat to Perplexity. Wait a minute. How does that work? Bezos owns a lot of Amazon, but also a lot of Perplexity. So two of Bezos entities. One is. One is making legal threats against the other. Okay, no reason they can't. Tech Crunch is writing about this. Anyway, the problem is that Perplexity is using agentic and agentic brain browser. So now instead of just being an app, which is what Perplexity started as, just an app, they're also a browser separately. And their browser apparently is going in and monkeying around with Amazon's content. And Amazon doesn't like that. When I say monkey, I mean just looking at it, not changing it. And PJ Media is writing, Matt Bergolis, that Judge Boasberg. Do you remember Boasberg? He was one of those judges that was law firing Trump, say many of us. Well, Representative Brandon Gill, Republican of Texas, is going to formally introduce articles of impeachment for that guy. And the, the basis for that would be truly sort of an accomplice and the egregious Arctic Frost scandal. And we're holding him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors, which I don't know exactly what they are, but Boseberg is in the, the hot chair. Now, how many of you knew that one of the biggest problems in the world for the past. Sorry, in a little bit of pain for the past year or so, that one of the biggest. Actually longer than that, one of the biggest problems in the world was a pending lack of fertilizer. Apparently, you know, you need a certain kind of fertilizer to get a certain outcome. And we were running out and didn't have really a way to get more easily. Well, there's a new technology, a pulse electrolysis that can grab your nitrogen right from the air. No, not all of it, you silly gooses. It could give some of it. So in other words, there's a new technology that can harvest nitrogen from the air and turn it into sustainable fertilizer. And they do say the excess nitrogen, they're not going to suck all of the minerals or whatever it is in the air so that you die. They're gonna get the extra. That's what they say. Of course it makes money. They're going to get it all, and then you'll die. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's check our time. It's 7:50. You, you probably don't know because I was talking to the local subscribers before the rest of you got in here. But you. So yesterday I got my PLU victo, which is the cancer meds there. There's a sort of a process that you have to go through to get. And now I've succeeded in, you know, getting into the right process and getting that done. Now there's five more sessions I have to do. So what I did is the, the first of what will be six IVs, that will be over the next several months, and they're about six weeks apart. So that's happening. But at the same time, I'm doing the bioshield, which will be two. Two passes, basically. And that separately is designed to boost my specific immunity to the specific cancer. So one attacks the tumors. That's the pluvecto. Licto. Yeah. So one attacks the. The tumors, but does it really specifically because it can identify them, you know, right to the edge of the tumor. So one will get rid of the tumors if it works. One in three chance. And then the other one would be sort of getting your body tuned up to get rid of whatever's left. Or if the PLU victo doesn't work at all, the other thing potentially could get rid of it all, too. But it'd be better if you had two things working, working against the cancer. Now, some people said. Some people said I was getting special attention. And certainly in some sense that's true. But you have to also put it in context. I'm the guy who, if this works, I'm going to make sure other people know this works. If it all works out, I don't know which way it's going to go. So I don't know that it'll work. You know, there's still maybe a one in three chance it gets worse. But if it works, I'm going to make damn sure that everybody of every income in the United States at least knows this exists and that it can get on their menu, too. So I'm on your side. If I get there first, I'll definitely be hanging around to reach down and pull the rest of you up, because that's just how I roll. So don't hate me if I get there first. I'll help you. That's. That's the idea. The idea is if I get there first, I'm going to help you get there, too, and you'll be a lot smarter about it. Okay, but this is a long way of telling you that when I got the procedure, they do warn you about the side effects, of course. And you know how every medical procedure they say, you know you're going to be fatigued. Everyone, it doesn't matter what it is. But in the, in the cancer world, it's probably more. You're going to be fatigued now, obviously, I don't know how many times I've had to take some drug that was going to make me fatigued. And, you know, you just get through it. It's no big deal, but. But the level of fatigue that I felt yesterday and I'm feeling actually right now as I'm sitting here, I've never felt this before. Whatever this is, this is a whole new level of fatigue. So this morning, when I was preparing for the show, I literally fell asleep while typing. Probably, I don't know, I don't even know how many times. Maybe a dozen times, maybe 20. So this is different. This is really different. But I'll get through it one way or the other. I still got all of my work done yesterday. I met all of my deadlines yesterday. While completely medically lobotomized, I'm pretty. I'm pretty determined. When there's a deadline involved, I'm pretty determined. All right, so, ladies and gentlemen, I had a nice pre show with the locals people, but I'm going to say hi to them just again. And I feel like I'm in, like, a little dream world right now. It's kind of good. All right, everybody, I'll see you tomorrow. Except for the locals people. I'll see you right now if I can make that work. Huh? Why does that not work? There we go.
