I think I'll have breakfast coming in half an hour or so, so we've got a little bit of time to catch up on the news.
You want to catch up on the news?
Well, I think we should do the simultaneous sip.
There might not be coffee involved, but I do have the simultaneous sip this morning.
Yeah, I think I got the cough mastered.
Well, we'll see.
Good morning, Marcella.
Eric Rummy.
Well, you're all very fast.
Coughing with Scott Adams was kind of funny.
You have to admit, that was kind of funny.
Yeah, Greg Biffle.
I never heard of Greg Biffle.
Is that somebody you knew?
Did you all, had you all heard the name Greg Biffle before?
That's got to be pretty bad to go down in your plane and know you got your whole family with you.
That's got to be about the worst way to go.
Good morning.
Come on in here.
All right.
Well.
Are you ready?
It won't be coffee in my case because I don't have breakfast yet, but.
Well, thank you.
Yep, he was a hero.
Used his helicopter to help flood victims.
That is correct.
Michael is here, finally.
Similar family helicopter.
I don't know.
All right, you ready?
If you'd like to enjoy the simultaneous sip, all you need is get ready.
A cup or a mugger, a glass of tanker, chalicostine, a canteen, sugar, flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee, but I'm happy water.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today, the thing that makes everything better.
It's called simultaneous sip.
it happens now that's pretty good That was a good sip.
Well, in theory, today will be my last day in the hospital.
So they might watch me for one more day because the cough was something they hadn't mastered.
But on the other hand, on the other hand, since I seem to have that mastered, maybe, maybe tonight.
I don't know.
You want to check out the news?
Let's check out the news.
So the Epstein files are going to be released today.
Do you believe that that will turn up anything new or interesting?
You did miss a sponge bath.
I think that was at midnight.
Success lessons?
Oh, good.
Your success lessons weren't great.
Good to hear.
All right, I'm going to predict that the Epstein story might be probably underwhelming.
What do you think?
Probably underwhelming.
So Thomas Massey's been fighting hard to turn that into a law.
So I guess there's a law now to release all the Epstein files.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is now the law.
So, but something, I don't know, it just doesn't feel like we're going to learn anything.
We might.
Might be the biggest story in the whole world, but we'll see.
So did anybody watch the video from the Turning Point USA speeches?
I don't know what to think about all this.
So they're now like, what, one, two, three, four, five, six.
So there are about six conservative stars who have some kind of Charlie Kirk Turning Point USA Candace Owens kind of dust up.
And some of it's about Israel and some of it's about Candace and some of it's about Charlie Kirk and some of it's about the Turning Point USA staff.
Yeah, so we got, so the players, I've been kind of ignoring this because, I don't know, it's not really world news.
But so Ben Shapiro, I guess he's going hard at the people who are not going hard at Candace and Tucker.
So are there sides?
Is Tucker on a side?
Or is Tucker on his own?
So let's see, Candace Owens has some conspiracy theories about who might have been involved in Charlie Kirk's death.
And I think it has, you know, it involves everything from Israel to the staff to his wife to Egypt, or at least the Egyptian planes.
None of it really lines up.
But I guess Ben Shapiro's point is that if you're not going to speak out against it, you're not doing enough.
So I'm just watching this one.
Are any of you taking sides with any of the Turning Point USA stuff?
Or are you just sort of watching it?
I feel like nobody is covering themselves with glory, but I'll be interested if anything comes of it.
So, all right, well, let's leave that story.
That one's more about the individuals involved.
If anything, oh, Tucker.
Isn't that interesting?
The story has two Tuckers in it.
One is Tucker Carlson, and the other is the Brigitte Brigitte Macrone.
Two Tuckers.
No, I'm just kidding.
Brasit Macron is not a talker.
Oh, and then Nick Fuentes gets thrown in there too.
Yeah.
Anyway, I feel like taking science is a really bad strategy, and I frankly don't have a side.
You know, I think they all have a they all have a right to their opinions, no matter how wacky or wrong or inappropriate.
I'm not sure I have an obligation to speak out against them.
But I can say I don't strongly agree with any of them because I have my own opinions.
They have their opinions.
I have my opinions.
So I don't feel a need to agree or disagree or decide who's in a conspiracy theory or not.
And turning point hunger games.
Anyway, so enough about that.
So yesterday's news, I saw a bunch of conservative people get worked up because Trump signed a executive order to reschedule weed.
But people took that, it looked like.
To me, it looked like people misinterpreted it as making weed legal at the federal level, but that did not happen.
It was just rescheduled from a one to a three, which means they can use it for medical use.
And I saw a bunch of people complaining about that.
And I thought to myself, how can you complain about medical use?
Medical use?
I totally understand why some people would be against weed being legalized for casual use.
I mean, there's an argument on both sides of that.
You know which side I'm on.
But medical?
Really?
It's one of the most medically useful substances in the world, I think.
So I am in favor of rescheduling it for medical use at the federal level.
That still keeps it illegal federally.
So if parents want to use that as their argument for keeping their kids off it, that would be up to them.
So is it true that the Brown University shooter is connected is the same guy who shot the MIT professor?
It appears that they have now proven there's some connection between the two.
So that's surprising.
I bet against that.
I think my instincts have been blunted, but I did not believe when it was first suggested that the MIT professor killing and the Brown University professor killing were related.
But we still don't know why, right?
I don't think we know why.
And I usually don't cover the individual crime stuff.
But this one might get more interesting.
I don't think it's an Iranian plot.
That's what we thought it might be.
All right, here's the best story of the day.
How many of you have for the last several years had to defend Trump when he called the Georgia, was it the Secretary of State or the governor, I forget, and he told them he wanted to see if he could find votes.
Do you remember that story?
So that was the 2020 election in which Trump narrowly lost.
So he called Georgia and said, hey, you know, you only need to find so many votes and it would reverse the thing.
And was he not, my brains are working too well.
Was Trump impeached for that?
Or nearly impeached for asking to find the votes?
Well, guess what?
According to the Federalists and others, apparently they could have found the votes because there were 315,000 early votes in the 2020 election that were not certified.
They didn't have the proper signatures.
And they had not certified that the, I guess the tabulators were zeroed out before they started.
So if you haven't certified that they were zeroed out, there's actually no way to know what the actual vote was.
So Georgia, Kemp, yes, it was Kemp.
So we can, according to actual court case, the state attorney admits that they can't tell who voted.
Is that incredible?
So Trump was right.
There's no record of the tabulators being set to zero, and they don't have the proper signatures in almost all of the sites.
Now, if you don't think that's more than a technical problem, apparently, and the Federalist talks about this, I guess in Montana they had the same problem, and they did, in fact, determine that the final vote count was wrong.
So this problem of not having the tabulators cleared before you start with a new thing.
If you don't clear them, you don't know what the vote was.
So I cheekily, I say, I posted on X this morning that they found the votes.
They found them.
They found the votes.
So I don't know if that would have been enough to change the election, but it does tell me that all of these, you know, all of these accusations might have been a little bit closer than anybody thought.
Lost by 7 million.
Well, but not if we're talking about the state or, yeah.
So it was a Raffsenberger, not Kemp.
Okay.
So Raphsonberger was the Secretary of State for Georgia.
Klumian.
But of all things, of all things.
So the, yeah, the January 6ers have been vindicated.
Trump always emphasizes signatures.
Yep.
Trump was right.
So, you know, do you remember how many times I said that everything in the country is broken except the elections?
that the elections are pristine.
And I always said that I always said it sarcastically that we have been, we as citizens have been asked to believe that absolutely everything in our environment was corrupt, except this one thing.
Well, it turns out, now, of course, the reason I said that is because I knew that everything was corrupt.
And now we know.
Now, corrupt might imply also just incompetent.
But what we don't know, what we don't know is who won the election.
So we do not have a system that can reliably tell us who won.
Incredible.
So then there's an update on the SNAP fraud in Minnesota.
So apparently the person in charge of making sure that the SNAP money, that's the food samp money, got to the right people, worked at home and had never had a job like this.
So of course it's being called the DEI situation.
I don't know if it's a DEI situation, but you have to assume that if things go wrong and it's a DEI environment, somebody's going to say it's DEI.
So apparently there was 174% surge in benefits between 2020 and 2021.
And the person in charge falsely claimed that fraud was nearly non-existent by using other fake data.
So they tried to justify the fraudulent payments by using fraudulent data.
And an audit, state audit caught them all.
I read this on the Amuse account on X.
So have you seen the pattern yet?
That 100% of the time that a Democrat-run government-funded thing is audited, it turns out to be fraudulent or so corrupt that you can't tell what happened 100% of the time.
So what kind of state audit kicks in at this point?
Do they only audit when somebody asks them to in a court case or something?
So how many of you remember, this will really test your memory.
How many of you remember that I've said that I can't understand how the government deficits could possibly be so big unless there was massive fraud.
Well, it turns out that the fraud is in the trillions.
There probably is literally a trillion dollars of fraud every year.
A trillion.
A trillion dollars of fraud every year.
Because that's the only way the numbers made sense to me.
Well, I don't know about the Obama part, but that's funny.
All right.
So I'm going to check.
I'm going to check some DMs that came to me because they're indications of the news today.
So.
Mr. Solomon, I would.
Boo boo boo.
I was catching up on Canterso and stuff.
She's got some new crazy looking guy.
Come on.
Let's go to my really all right, people.
Let's go to there's a story about Zorin Mamdami's director of appointments back in 2016 wrote somewhere, it's important that white people feel defeated.
JD Vance is commenting on that.
Can you believe that in 2016 you could say in public, it's important that white people feel defeated.
Okay.
By the way, JD Vance said something nice about me yesterday on social media.
He was wishing me well.
He said I'm one of the good ones.
Well, I don't know.
Let's see.
I guess New Year's celebrations have been canceled in Australia, France, and Germany because it's going to be too dangerous because of terrorists.
You know, I wondered when that would happen.
Have you been surprised that there aren't more terrorist attacks and large gatherings?
I feel like we now expect it to happen.
Let's see, there's some Somalia bad behavior.
Let's see.
Somalia's entire GDP is 13 billion.
And the exposure to Somali fraud in one state is 18 billion.
Chiproy.
There's posting on that.
So there's more Somalia-related fraud in Minnesota than is bigger than the entire GDP of Somalia.
So good job there, Somalia.
All right, let's see what else we got.
Then, ooh.
Just, did you know, according to the Massimo account, that just 27 minutes of daily meditation can grow your brain matter?
I'm going to say, I don't know if I believe that.
27 minutes of daily meditation grows your gray matter.
Maybe.
Let's see.
Yeah.
And Minnesota, according to the End Wokeness account, the Minnesota Attorney General Ellison, he blames the high car thefts in his state on Kia and Hyundai being too easy to steal.
Yeah, that's the problem.
too easy to steal uh Hakeem Jeffries being bad So Trump signed a major executive order that reshapes U.S. space policy.
I guess we want to get to the moon by 2028 and have nuclear power up there and missile defense and who knows.
Huh.
So Trump has threatened to seize more Venezuelan tankers.
They could end up back in one of our harbors, he says.
So I guess the Venezuelans are sending their military to accompany their tankers that Trump has said he would block.
I don't think the Venezuelan Navy wants to take on our Navy, but we'll see.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Tucker.
No, we won't talk about him today.
Dr. Singularity says all cancers will be curable by the early 2030s.
There's been an enormous amount of breakthroughs in the last well, I would say, can you do that a little bit faster?
Apparently, cannabis compounds show promise against one of the deadliest cancers.
Not my type.
Wow. Let's see.
So somebody believes that we're going to war with Venezuela because Trump is on the Epstein list.
I don't think it's that.
But why is it you think we're going to war with Venezuela?
It feels like there might be several different possible reasons.
And I'm not sure.
One of them would be, you know, to control our hemisphere and get rid of the narco-terrorists and stuff.
But I'm not even sure.
There's even some dispute whether Venezuela is anything they say it is.
Good morning.
Good morning.
So, oh, let me give you an update on me.
So I'm done with all of my treatments.
You know, my five radiation treatments, radiation, yeah, whatever it is.
So now I wait.
So it could be about two weeks before I see if I get a feeling back in my lower body.
But my doctor stopped by yesterday, day before, and did tell me that there's almost no chance of that happening.
However, a different doctor had a slightly higher, slightly higher optimism, but not very high.
So I wait two weeks to see if any of the treatments I got will make any difference to my body.
Best case scenario, if it did work, I don't know if it would give me full ability to walk, but it might give me some feeling back.
And I don't even know if that would be better or worse, frankly.
All right.
So, John Federman attended a classified briefing and confirmed the Trump administration knows exactly who's on those drug boats.
And yet, the Democrats are defending the drug boats because it's on the other side from Trump.
All right, who else is going on?
Oh, so the Kennedy Center, the board voted unanimously to add Trump's name to the iconic DC venue.
I thought there was some dispute about that.
This isn't Breitbart News.
So, is it true that the Kennedy Center will be renamed the Kennedy Trump Center?
I feel like that's not necessarily confirmed.
So I guess Jake Tapper in CNN had some doctor in a white coat come on.
This is Breitbart News is reporting this.
So, Breitbart is saying Jake Tapper booked a guy in a lab coat because he tweeted that Trump looks unwell during his speech on Wednesday and then spent an entire segment gravely talking how the president must be dying because he has a quote manic cadence.
Well, we'll see.
James Carville apparently said that Charlie Kirk was not a pimple on Rob Reiner's.
I'm guessing the last word there is ass.
All right, James Carville.
Oh, not the Kennedy-Trump Center, but the, they want to call it maybe the Trump-Kennedy Center.
Command, got company.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm on a live stream right now.
I'll be your nurse today.
Okay.
All right.
Good night.
Thank you for everything.
I'll update the board, okay?
Okay.
Do you need me to sign off?
Or no, um, I'm just gonna finish report.
Is there anything you need right now?
No.
Do I have a breakfast coming?
I believe so, yes.
Okay.
Just let me know what time you want to eat.
Just press the call light.
Oh, oh, okay.
Is that okay?
I don't know where my call light is.
It's been moved.
Oh, here, I'm so sorry.
You just got here.
Okay.
My call light was not available.
Yes.
Okay.
Just let me know what you need, okay?
All right.
So maybe in maybe in 20 minutes.
All right.
The staff here is very good.
So we'll play around for another 20 minutes.
All right.
Checking out the news.
Trump defies odds, achieves economic triple play.
Well, so you heard the news about inflation, right?
The inflation was unusually low, but it turns out it was probably just the numbers are wrong.
I don't believe any of the uh yeah, I don't believe any of the economic numbers, don't believe any of the economic numbers.
All right, let me check Owen Gregorian's feed.
Owen, what do you got going?
By the way, you should you should follow Owen Gregorian if you like to see stories that I like to see.
All right, um, I guess when Trump did his speech that only Fox News showed the graphics, the others didn't show the graphics.
CNN is forced to admit inflation is coming down.
Um, but well, I don't know.
Are they forced to admit that?
Yeah, I just don't believe any of the inflation numbers.
I think they omitted some key data.
So they're proposing renaming it to the Trump Kennedy Center.
Yeah, so I guess the Kennedy Center is not yet renamed.
But it is proposed.
And let's see.
Two Haitian migrants in Massachusetts are accused of more SNAP scam.
The SNAP program was just the biggest scam.
Amazing.
Amazon is reportedly in talks, according to TechCrunch, to invest $10 million in OpenAI.
Huh.
And it would use the AI labs.
Did you see the story?
I don't have it in front of me.
But apparently, one of the moats that OpenAI had is software.
Not OpenAI, NVIDIA.
So NVIDIA, you know, of course, makes the AI chips, but some said that although the chips could be matched by other companies, they had a software moat that would be nearly impossible to match.
And I think Google just matched, which would make the value of NVIDIA plunge, which hasn't happened yet, but I think it lost a few points.
What does NVIDIA look like?
Did it go up or down?
So I saw one analyst say that the real thing that supported NVIDIA's value is that you couldn't match the software, but you could match, you know, potentially you could match the hardware.
But apparently, Google made a breakthrough that would allow them to match the software.
Yeah, I don't believe the core CPI numbers.
Yeah, I just don't believe.
Hey, Sergio.
Good to see you, Sergio.
All right.
Inflation unexpectedly tumbles to 2.7, or some say 2.6.
Yeah.
Well, it's not getting worse, but I don't believe I don't believe we can even track those numbers at that level of granularity.
Would you believe, according to Sprudge Coffee, that the study finds a causal link between filtered coffee and lower HbA1C levels?
Okay, that's probably a good thing.
Oh, wow.
A North Korean infiltrator was caught working on Amazon's IT department because they could somehow track the lag between keystrokes and how long it took to get to where it needed to go.
According to Tom's hardware, okay.
Chinese brain implant lets paralyzed man control devices with his mind.
Huh.
Maybe I'll get that.
Am I a candidate for the Neuralink?
Do you think I can get a brain implant and then turn into a robot because I'm paralyzed below the waist?
That's an actual possibility, isn't it?
So Chinese brain implant lets paralyzed man control devices with his mind.
Oh, I'm so going to turn into a robot.
All right, here's my new plan.
I'm going to get a brain implant, whether it's Neuralink or something else, and then I will get a robot body and I will rebuild myself using my human brain, but a robot body.
Apparently, that is actually something I can do.
Wow.
Let's see.
Did you know, according to SciPost, Eric Dolan, that women are more accurate than men at detecting signs of sickness in faces?
Well, are they more accurate or do they care?
Maybe the men don't care.
But I believe it.
I would believe a mother would have to be better at it.
The Trump administration, according to the New York Post, the Trump administration is going to probe Colorado after 221 dead people received federal housing assistance.
Now, have I ever mentioned that 100% of government entities that involve Democrats and money and a non-functional audit system, every one of them is corrupt?
Every one of them.
I don't believe there is an exception.
A meta-analysis, according to the SciPost, also Eric Dolan, it says that if you watch too many TikTok and Instagram reels, it's linked to poor cognitive and mental health.
It doesn't surprise me.
I am surprised.
Well, we'll see if it happens, but I am surprised that we reached a deal with TikTok.
Escape from Prisoner Island?
We'll see.
So I've got an appointment, phone appointment with my radiologist in two weeks.
Actually, the end of the month.
And if I don't have any, if I don't have any feeling in my lower body, it would mean the radiation did not work.
But there's a non-zero chance that I'll have some feeling in my lower body by then.
I don't know if that'll make things better or worse for me, honestly.
It probably would be worse if I had a little bit of feeling in my lower body, but I couldn't, you know, I couldn't walk.
If you can't walk, you might as well just leave the lower body up to other people.
So that's my current plan.
Is if I don't get my, if I get no control of my lower body back, and that was the whole point of the radiation to see if I could do it.
I am going to try the, still going to try the Pluvicto, though.
But if I can't get any of that control back, then I'll have to delegate my lower body to other people.
So I would be in control of my body from my chest up, because that all works fine.
But for my belly button down, I would have to pay other people to keep it alive.
And that's a weird kind of life.
So we'll see if that's worth doing.
A hack reveals a ASIC DNC-backed phone farm flooding TikTok with AI influencers.
Yeah, I never trusted TikTok.
More news about Minnesota fraud, of course.
Trump Media is merging with a nuclear fusion startup?
What?
So the parent company of Truth Social announced a merger with this technology company, TA, a nuclear fusion startup.
Why would that make sense?
The plan to create the world's first utility-scale fusion power plant.
Really?
So it's intended to create electricity through fusion at 50 million watts with construction of the site beginning next year.
Really?
They think they can build a fusion site next year and they will make additional ones with an expected output of blah, blah, blah, watts.
Huh.
So under the deal, this is weird.
Trump Media could provide a few hundred million in cash.
So Devin Nunes, who's the CEO of Trump Media, said the merger represents a continuation of Trump Media's America First Principles.
I'll be damned.
Does it make sense that a media company would merge with a fusion company?
Well, let's say the Commerce Secretary says that next year will be the big one for the economy.
Do you believe that?
Do you believe that 2026 we will be well staged for the economy?
I believe that might be true.
ZME Science is asking, does music training really make children smarter?
What do you think?
Do you think music training makes kids smarter?
Or is it the smart kids who take music?
Because it could work either way.
But according to this study, music lessons are oh, music lessons are less likely to make children smarter, but more likely to reveal the curiosity and discipline they already have.
All right, okay, I believe that.
So, music doesn't make you smarter, but it might, yeah.
So, if you are not believing science is real, there's more evidence of that.
The fusion of media and energy.
Yeah.
Oh, here's a good one.
Fox News is reporting.
The federal watchdog urges white men to report possible workplace discrimination.
I guess JD Vance is boosting that message.
What do you think?
Do you think white men will be doing a bunch of discrimination cases?
Can you imagine how many legal disputes there would be if white men started going against DEI?
Wow.
Oh, yours is interesting.
So, according to Reclaim the Net, the U.S. suspends $41 billion tech deal with the UK over online censorship laws.
Ah, so I wondered if the U.S. would get tough on that.
So, I've not been ever comfortable with the idea that Europe would decide what kind of censorship to put on U.S. companies, but they were trying to censor the U.S. companies like X.
And it looks like the government is going to be backing the U.S. companies.
Good.
You know, that would not have happened under Biden.
Under Biden, Europe would have basically shut down U.S. company social media unless it did what Europe wanted it to do.
Looks like the Trump administration is saying no thanks.
Well, according to Science Alert, cheese is linked to lower dementia risk in a 25-year study.
Did you know that?
If you eat enough cheese, it will lower your risk of dementia.
How many of you believe that's true?
I wonder if this study was done by big cheese.
Probably.
Yeah, probably.
Report Pacific Bell.
Too late.
Yeah, Crocker Bank and Pacific Bell.
I would sue them both if I were poor and healthy and young, and the statute of limitations had not run out.
Wait, is there a statute of limitations on civil suits?
How many lawyers are watching?
All right, question for lawyers.
Lawyer question: Is there a statute of limitation for civil suits?
Or is that only for criminal stuff?
Now, why don't I know that?
Seems like I should know that.
So tell me if you're a lawyer and then give me your answer.
Statute of limitation for civil.
Yes or no?
I'm not going to sue anybody, but I don't believe it.
Yep.
Fermented food.
Wisconsin stuffy.
American cheese is not like other cheese.
Never met a mouse with dementia.
Yep, that's true.
You've never met a mouse that has dementia.
I call that proof.
All right, here we go.
According to the conversation, micro-dosing cannabis pauses Alzheimer's decline in unprecedented trial.
Do you believe that?
Do you believe that micro-dosing cannabis slows down dementia?
Well, Alzheimer's.
Well, we'll see.
My brain will last forever.
You know, the weirdest thing about being in the hospital is that I went cold turkey on marijuana, obviously, so that for a week or so, I completely am off marijuana.
And I haven't really noticed, you know, because you're usually drugged up on painkillers anyway.
At the moment, I have some baseline morphine, but I've reduced my reduced my painkillers substantially, which might mean the radiation worked, at least to decrease pain.
Don't know yet.
It's too early.
Velveeta.
All right, what else?
China made some breakthrough in EV batteries.
Okay.
There are a lot of stories about battery breakthroughs, but until I see it in a Tesla, I don't believe it.
What?
According to Tech Explorer, there's a new analog computing method that slashes AI training energy use.
All right.
So how many of you remember that when NVIDIA first bursts on the scene as an AI monster that I invested in NVIDIA?
Hold on just a second.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, my breakfast is here.
Do you have room?
Yes, just room.
Okay.
So it's time for breakfast, people.
I won't eat breakfast in front of you because it might be a messy affair.
So I'm going to sign off now.
Thank you, everybody.
And we'll keep you updated.
I might stream again because I have nothing else to do today.
Today I have no treatments.
It's just waiting to see if I'm able to be dismissed.
So I'm likely to be a little bit bored later today.
