Episode 2528 CWSA 07/06/24

How's everybody doing? Well, I'm trying to get rid of a troll, but he's hiding really well. It's a very well hidden troll. But we'll get him. We'll get him. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And that's what this is. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that, that nobody can even understand with their tiny, smooth human brains, all you need is a cup of mug or a glass, a tank of shells of stein, a canteen jugger flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. The other day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Ah. So just before I got on, I was trying to delete a. A troll. We got into my local subscription site. But the interesting thing is that the name that the troll is using doesn't exist in my customer list in any form. Now why? I don't know, but somebody's doing a really clever job. It does seem clear that some Democrat operatives have infiltrated my subscription services with the intention of saying a racist thing with every single comment so that somebody someday can say, look at the racist he let into his feet. But it's the same people and I'm just trying to get rid of them. And they change their names and they come back, they seem to be professionals because they, they put too much energy into it. So if you see them, they are not the regular members. They're just some trolls who are coming in to say racist things every three seconds. So just ignore them. I'll figure out a way to find them. Somehow they found a way to not show up in my customer list. And I don't know how they did that, but that's a good trick. Well, here's some new things. How many of you are hooked on AI already? So I find that my favorite thing to do when I'm driving because I'm not big on listening to music or too much talk radio or anything. I like turning on my Chat GPT app and putting it in voice mode so it can just listen to me and I can just talk to it anytime I want. And I find that what I use it for is homeschooling. I'm homeschooling myself because it turns out I'm always curious about things. So I'll be driving in my car and I'll think, huh, how does that thing in the world connect to that other thing in the world? And then I'll just ask it. It'll give me like a little lesson. So I'm actually homeschooling. I, I made a list of the things that I had learned recently. You know, I've learned things about the fall of Rome. I've, I've asked at complicated medical things that it would compare to this or that. I've asked about side effects of this and that. And I'm actually just homeschooling. It's, it's the greatest experience. I really recommend it. And it's addictive as hell. Even though it doesn't work half the time. You know, if you're driving, you're continually losing the signal and it's getting confused and, you know, it's answering the wrong questions and stuff. And still with something like a 60% fail rate, meaning that if you just ask it a question 60% of the time, it won't hear it, it'll disconnect, or it'll give the wrong answer to the wrong question about 60% of the time. And still I'm addicted. I'll tell you, there's no stronger signal for something that's going to be big beyond your belief. Then it fails 60% of the time and you're addicted. That's what the Internet was. Do you remember the early days of the Internet? You wanted to look up anything that you were really, really interested in and it just didn't work half the time. And you were still addicted. So it's like that. Well, Eric Weinstein was on Joe Rogan, I guess he'd been asked to address the provocative physics ideas of Terrence Howard, actor Terrence Howard. And Eric Weinstein's summary was not really too credible, kind of a bunch of nothing. But he debunked him with maximum arrogance, which made it extra funny. He said he wasn't giving him a peer review, he was giving an elite review because he knows way more. No, he does. Wait, he does know way more. But the fact I, I think the big story here is not, not that Terence Howard got debunked in some of his views, but that somehow he didn't punch Eric Weinstein in the face. I feel like that's the story that wasn't told. Because I gotta say, if anybody said to me what Eric said to him to his face, I probably would have hit him or walked out or something. I'm exaggerating. But it was, it was maximum Americans, but at the same time it was very Useful and entertaining. So to me, it was very useful because I was curious how much of this has some backing. So we found out. Anyway, it was just what it looked like, I guess. I can't remember if I told you, but there's a writer at the Hoffening Post, Kon shf, who thinks that the Democrats should use AI to make Biden look better. In other words, just artificially change him so he's not as stuttering and he doesn't look like he has a cold, I guess. And so. So he admits that he should use AI to make a smoother. A smoother Biden. Now, does none of that bother them? What happened to the people on the left that they can casually suggest pretending that the President's fine while he's not? And. And writing an article to support doing that? That's just the wildest thing. Who writes an article saying, you know what we should do for the good of the country? Allow you not to see that your president is mentally degraded. Make him look good. Is that just dumb, or is that team play? What is that? I mean, I don't even know how to put a label on that, but it's there, I guess, just more huffing and post stuff. But if I may be kind, the failing, struggling Huffington Post on his last legs. And they're not really attracting the best talent, shall we say? Let's just say if you're a good writer with good ideas, you never say to yourself, if only I could work for the Huffington Post. No, you want to go to the Washington Post like Phil Bump. Okay, if you know the players. That's funny. All right. Is there anything psychedelics can't do? Every single day we find a new thing they might do. But one of the things they might do, interestingly, is treat stuttering. Now, this has not yet been tested, but the hypothesis is strong because of the way apparently stuttering is and stammering are both triggered by social discomfort. And they might be able to turn that off with psychedelics, maybe even permanently. So they want to test it. But this does suggest a way that we can fix Biden, because maybe if he done some mushrooms before the debate. Maybe What? Don't laugh. You think it would be worse if he was on mushrooms? Come on, you tell me that Biden's debate performance would have been worse if he were on lsd. Maybe, but I don't see how. Anyway, here's the most surprising bombshell. U turn, as the Daily Mail calls it. So George Soros is halting funding for a number of his Prosecutors because they didn't do well. What. And this really makes me wonder what's going on. So two of the ones that are not going to get funding that he had funded before include the, the LA county da, George Gascon. You've heard about him and my area. So this is my da, Pamela Price, who's the subject of a big recall effort in my area. Now they're both at risk of being booted, and I guess he's not funding them. Why would he, why would he stop funding the people who look like they're doing exactly what he wanted them to do? Why would he stop? Is it because they're wildly unpopular and he can just put somebody popular in there who does the same things? But I think they're wildly unpopular because of the things they do. So you couldn't really replace them with other people doing the same thing. Anyway. So George Soros defunding my own local prosecutor. So here's my speculation. You know, I, I've, I've said to you that I didn't believe that George Soros Sr. Could possibly be aware of where his money was going, especially the prosecutors. Because if you were aware, it'd be hard to explain. It looks like something an old man who wasn't in charge of anything let happen accidentally. But maybe Alex Soros, the heir who's in charge of stuff now, maybe it was just too much pressure. It could be that even the Democrats said, you know, you need, you need to take your foot off the accelerator here because you're killing us. You're killing us. So it could be that the pendulum is going to swing back on these prosecutors because it turned out to be terrible for the Democratic Party. So the greatest donor to the Democrats also donated to the thing that destroyed the party. Would you agree that George Soros essentially destroyed the Democrat Party by funding these prosecutors, which made the cities look unlivable, which made Democrats say, wait a minute, did we do this? You did. Yeah, you did. This is you Democrats. You did destroy a number of great cities in the United States. So maybe they're thinking that's a bad idea. Now the Supreme Court has overturned a ruling that was barring the use of most drop ballot. Most ballot. Drop boxes. NBC News is reporting. And so why would they do that? Why. Why would they allow these ballot boxes that almost everybody says makes an election less secure? Why would they do that? To rig the election. Yeah. There's no other reason, is there? Do you think they found some little legal reason? No, no, I think this is exactly what it looks like, it looks like the Wisconsin Supreme Court is probably just Democrats and it looks like they just decided to help rig the state. So if you're wondering if the election is rigged, it already is. This is rigging. That's a rigged election. You can now say the election is rigged and just point to this. It's, it's a swing state. It's not irrelevant. It's a swing state. It's already rigged. It's rigged right in front of you in the most obvious way. Now, is it legal? I don't know. Legal. Ish. But it's rigged. You know, whether it's legally rigged or, or illegally rigged, honestly, those don't make a big difference, do they? If you can find a way to do it through the legal process, how's that different? Is rigged. So we can say the 2024 election is rigged. That doesn't mean we know the outcome, but it's rigged. You can say that conclusively. Now this, this is rigging. And by the way, I will change my vote on that if somebody can give me an argument for why allowing all these many ballot box pickup things that everybody thinks makes things insecure, why they would do this. Okay, if you could give me any reason that's not rigging, I will fully evaluate that reason and maybe even change my mind. Maybe there's some reason I don't know about. I don't think so, but I think it's exactly what it looks like. They rigged the election in Wisconsin and that's it. So maybe that that state might be out of play. There might be no point in even Trump visiting because they've already rigged it. You know, it. If I were Trump and deciding where to spend my money and my time, I might go where they haven't rigged it. That, that might be just a good economic play. All right. Trump finally debunked the fine people hoax in the way that we've all been wanting him to do. And I'm just going to read it because it's so beautiful, it made me weep. Donald Trump posting in True Social. And I quote the New York Post. So he's quoting the New York Post. A left wing fact checker admits Trump never called Charlottesville neo Nazis, quote, very fine people. The left leaning fact checking website Snopes acknowledged Saturday that former President Trump never called neo Nazis very fine people. President Biden was chief among those critics, citing the supposed incident as a main reason for launching his 2020 campaign. While Trump did say that there were very fine people on both sides, he also specifically noted that he was not talking about neo Nazis and white supremacists and, and said they should be condemned totally. Therefore, we have rated this F. This claim false. Snopes wrote, well, well, well, this is everything I wanted. So I keep telling you that whoever is advising Trump is really good. It's just so obvious. It's so obvious. He's getting good advice. Now, as I always say, the boss still gets the credit because the boss picks the people who give the advice. The boss looks at all the different advice and the boss has to pick the good advice and then the boss has to execute. So it's still the boss. I don't, I don't want to take any credit from Trump. The boss gets the credit. That's. And also the blame. That's the way it works. But you can't, you can't ignore the fact he's getting good advice. That's just a fact. It's just obvious. Here's why this is perfect. Number one, he's using Snopes as his source. A left leaning source, which he also calls a left leaning source. Is that good? Persuasion? It's perfect because it's more persuasive. If it comes from their own team, that will mean something. He described the hoax clearly without too much detail. That's perfect. You don't want to get into too much detail. Just do the basics. Say it got debunked. He also said that Biden used it as his main reason for launching his 2020 campaign. Thank you. Thank you. That's perfect. You got to put it in context. Joe Biden is the guy who's calling you a liar. He ran on the Fine People hoax knowing it was a hoax. Of course, this is the right timing. It's perfect. Now it's really hard to do something that's perfect because nobody does anything perfect. But this is really perfect. I mean, this is as nailed as you can nail a thing. And I say, I've been, I've been working on this for seven years. You know, I've just been pushing and pushing and pushing. Steve, Steve Cortez, Joel Pollock and I, I think we've been the three horsemen of trying to kill this hoax. But part of killing it was also to arm Trump so that he'd have a, you know, he'd have some portable way to, to debunk it as he goes. Because just saying it wasn't true wasn't getting it done. And here's a little a lesson in persuasion. Persuasion will work best if you can tie it to something in the real world, an event in the real world, or some pattern in the real world that will remind you of the new thing. So if you did the same persuasion every day and got no effect, but then one day something happens in the environment that will make your persuasion work. All right, so what happened in the environment is that Snopes debunked it and the Biden gave a debate and mentioned it again, and that Biden's main theme is that Trump's a liar. Those three things made this perfect for this statement. So he didn't just say it perfectly. He picked the right exact time. There could have been a no better time. If he, if he had debunked this years ago, it wouldn't be useful today as the main thing that will wake up the Democrats and tell them that the whole thing's been a lie. So you can't do better than this. Honestly, you just can't do better than that. All right, speaking of fact checking, Breitbart, is fact checking Biden on his injecting bleach hoax or drinking bleak chokes however he says it? I think he says injecting bleach into your arm. Now, now, you all know that's the fake claim that Trump suggested doing that. But here's. I'll just give the summary, the claim and the verdict from Breitbart. So the claim is that during an interview with ABC News George Stephanopoulos, that Biden repeated a false claim that Trump told people to, quote, put bleach in their arms. He actually said it again with, you know, it sounds like a prepared thing. And here's their verdict. False. Trump was talking about experimental ultraviolet light technology and how it is used as a disinfectant and question whether it might be possible to inject into the human body. Well, I'm going to take another victory lap on this one because, you know, this is the other hoax I've been pushing the hardest on. And this was harder to debunk because it requires knowing something that the public didn't know, which was that that Republicans, including me, were tweeting around and talking about. And I talked on my live stream maybe once or twice at that very time that that experimental ultraviolet light would be a disinfectant. You could put it in your body by injection, so to speak. So good. There's another one. So the guy who's running against the person he calls the liar sold the biggest whoppers in the world. Here's an interesting exchange. I saw Megyn Kelly in a post on X Saying she was genuinely sad and angry over how people are treating Joe Biden and he deserves better than to go out like this. And she says the answer is to let him retire with some dignity and not to, you know, keep forcing him out there in the racehorse. He's a wounded racehorse. Now, on one hand, I know a lot of people have said similar things. They've said some version of, you know, he's served the country well, you know, should put him out to retirement with some dignity, and we should feel some empathy for him. Well, you know who doesn't feel empathy would be General Flynn's son, Michael Flynn Jr. Who responded to Megan Kelly about feeling sad and angry for Biden. And she. And he said, I'm not. Biden tried to destroy my family. He can burn in hell for all I care. That's the side I'm on. I'm on his side. I think that Biden is an old, confused man. I also think he's maybe one of the worst people in the history of the United States. I think he's deeply evil and has been for a long time. And he's evil at a level that I don't even think we've seen in this country before. Maybe one of the most evil people in all of politics. And there have been a few evils, but I don't think we've seen anything like him. I mean, if you look at his history and people have, it's just about the worst thing any politician has ever done. I mean, there's a whole list of things he's done that are the worst things, and we'll talk about some of those. But the thing that makes me wonder is, you know, we talk about the deep state, but has the deep state thrown a coup every time somebody orange ran for office? So they ran a coup against Trump. And by the way, I have no problems calling it a coup. The laptop stuff, the Russia collusion hoax, I mean, it's just one hoax after another. It's all seems to be managed to run out of the intelligence arms of the United States. So, yes, the deep state did run a coup, in my opinion, against Trump. And they're doing it now against the only, only the second orange president we've ever had. Apparently, you can't be an orange president because the deep state is going to say, nope, nope, we, we could let you be white, we could let you be black, but you cannot be orange. And that's the bottom line on that. Well, as you know, Biden tried to do his save his campaign by talking to the friendliest Democrat crat of all time, George. Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos is the exact name. And I will say that George Stephanopoulos was clearly not there to save Biden's career. Would you agree? If you watched it, it was clear that Stephanopoulos was not trying to rehabilitate him. He was not. He was asking tough questions. He never let it, never let him squirm away from a question, made him come back to it. Asked tough ones. And it's clear that his job, since we know he's not a real journalist, you know, he's just a Democrat operative. It's pretty obvious that the important powers within the Democrat party are trying to push him out, but they got a problem. It's still his decision. So I don't know how much they plan to blackmail him, but I think that's coming next. Now, don't you think that the deep state has blackmail on Biden? Of course it does. After like a hundred years in office, of course they have blackmail material on. Do you think they would use it? I'm going to say no. Do you know why? Do you know why Biden can't be blackmailed? Because he knows where all the bodies are hidden. He, he can blackmail you back really hard. They're going to have to kill him. They're not going to, I don't think, but I don't think it's got to be an option. But I don't think they will. I think the deep state is just running out of options. So they're going to use all their powers of people to try to influence them. Good luck with that. Good luck influencing the dementia guy. Good luck. Anyway, my, my take on him is that Biden looked orange, weak, incoherent, lost, frightened, slow. Dementia, I mean, looked terrible. I would give his performance f complete failure. Well, there was nothing redeeming about it whatsoever. I didn't like that he was appropriating the culture of pumpkins and he, he sat there and he told the biggest and most obvious lie in American history that he is absolutely cognitively fine. Has there ever been a bigger, more obvious lie? I mean, you could argue there are bigger lies, but has there ever been one that's bigger, bigger and more obvious? That he sits there cognitively declined, showing you that he is and telling you that you're not seeing it. Now that's some serious gaslighting right there. Let's see here. The dumb of. Let me just run through the dumbass things he said. He said I had a bad cold and so first he had a bad cold, and then he was tired. And then. And then he said that Trump, you know, yelled, and he. He lost control because Trump was yelling, yelling at the debate. Now, if you're the President of the United States and you admit in public that because your opponent was talking with the microphone off that you lost control, you're really taking yourself out of the race, or you should be. But, I mean, it's just the. The level of pathetic there is crazy. Then he also just tried to throw in that Trump lied 28 times without mentioning that according to CNN, Biden had lied about 15 times. And by the way, they missed a bunch, so it was closer to a tie. While he's sitting there lying about his cognitive ability, he has the guts to say that Trump's a liar. He was a mumbling and rambling mess. And then at one point, asked again about his bad debate performance, he said, I just had a bad night. I don't know why. So after telling us why, I had a cold. I was exhausted. Then he says, I don't know why he had a bad night. So he had completely lost his own fake excuses. He was like, I don't know why. So that was a mess. Then when he talked, he talked about his accomplishments, which his supporters say would be his strongest thing he could do is talk about your accomplishments. They sounded so vague that they didn't even sound real. I don't even think they are real. See if any of these seem real to you. He said he. Let's see. He took on Big Pharma and beat them. Did he. Did he beat Big Pharma? Because I don't recall seeing that. I don't think he took on big, but big pharmacy, Big Pharma, and beat them. What? Because he got some insulin costs down, which were not much different than what Trump did then. He said he grew the economy. Really? What did he do to grow it? It did grow, but what did he do? Well, what was the part that grew the economy? The. The WI Fi that he didn't install, the infrastructure bill that we. I don't even know what it did. What was it? Threatening to raise our taxes? How do you grow the economy? Now, the truth is that even. Even, you know, every President, Trump's going to say he grew the economy, but you got to be able to point to something. Trump can say, I reduced regulations and, you know, lowered some taxes. Those things should be expected to have some impact on the economy. Trump can say, I released the energy business in the United States. That's an argument. That would be an argument. So by just saying I grew the economy, the economy is growing. It's like I made all of you older or taller or something. Well, that was going to happen anyway. He said. He said he did things they said we couldn't do. Well, they said you couldn't do it and maybe you didn't. He said he brought decency back to the office. Did he? Did he? He brought decency back. He's law faring his opponent. He's lying about everything. He ran on hoaxes. He's still lying right to our faces. And he ran on decency. He said he united the country. He said he'd unite the country. And he did. Did he? Well, in one way, he did. There has been one and exactly one political situation since 2016 in which both the Democrats and Republicans were watching one movie on one screen at the same time. Every other time we looked at the same screen, but we saw two different movies. But when the debate happened, everybody saw Biden disintegrate. You didn't have to wonder. It was right there. You couldn't deny it. So this is. He did unite the country. He did create the one and only one. You can't think of a single other example. The one time we all watched the same movie at the same time. Never happened before in my memory, at least not since 2016. Can you think of another example? Think of any other example? Oh, maybe one. Maybe one. The. The one I could think of was brief, but remember when the Grab Them by the tape came out and the Democrats said, oh, he's done, but so did I. So did the Republicans. Like on day one, everybody saw the same movie. It's like, I think he might be done, but it took only about a week for us to forget about it and think, you know what? I don't care. He was just talking locker talk. Get over it. So it did split into two movies soon, but for a moment, you know, just the first hour you heard it, probably everybody had the same response, which is, oh, that's bad. I don't know how you can win with that, but he did. So at the moment, we are still on the same page in the same movie. 100% of people who saw the. The debate know that Biden's gone. They may lie. I mean, they may be saying other things, but they know it. We are on one page for the first time, which might be a bigger deal than you think, because it's not until there's some kind of opening between the two silos of realities if you can't create the smallest little connection between those two realities, you're never going to convince anybody of anything. So this might be an opening. He said that 16 Nobel laureates said he was doing the right thing. They're all Democrat supporters. That's said he wants to straighten out the tax system. That doesn't sound good. But he didn't do it. He's been great for elder care and child care. I don't know. Maybe I'm not aware of anything he did. Maybe he did and he sort of. He was asked if there he's had more lapses recently and if he's more frail. He changed the subject. They asked him if he's taken a full neurological test. At first he said nobody's asked him to. Okay, that doesn't feel too, too true. And then he said he takes one every day by getting up and doing his job. Well, did he take one that day? He debated. Because that was part of every day. The day he was on the debate stage, he took a neurological test and failed. I watched it. He took a neurological test as he defines it, which is doing his job every day in front of people. Well, there he was in front of people doing his job, debating, and he clearly failed the neurological test. I mean, clearly. Let's see. Can you serve effectively for the next four years? Biden was asked, and he answered, I'm the guy who shut down NATO. He seems to not have a good distinction between the past and the future, because when asked about the future, he mentions the past. That's a bad sign. That's a bad sign because Biden doesn't have much future left. He may have so little future left that he can't even answer a question about what he would do four years from now because he doesn't expect to be here. And I don't expect it either. Sadly. The past is 9,999% of all the experiences he will ever have. His future is going to be 0.01 of his life, and he knows it. So when asked about the future, he reflexively talks about the past, because that's the part that will exist, sort of. He said, I wouldn't be running if I. Unless I. Oh, he said, asked if, you know, he could serve. I wouldn't be running if I thought I could. Now, do you think I said that wrong? Do you think that what he really said was when he asked if he could serve, did he say, I wouldn't be running if I thought I couldn't? No, he said I wouldn't be running if I thought I could. So asked if he has the cognitive ability to run, he failed to answer a simple question and answered it in its opposite as his answer to whether he's cognitively capable. Good job. Good job. He said that the character of the president matters as he sat there lying to us about his cognitive abilities and ran on the fine people hoax to divide America. But character counts. Character counts. And he was asked if he knew he was having a bad night. He said, it came to me. I was having a bad night when I realized that even when I was answering a question, even though they turned his mic off, he was still shouting. And I let it distract me. He said, I'm not blaming it on that. I'm not blaming it on that. After, he just blamed it on that. So he blamed it on that and said, I'm not blaming it on that. Yeah, he's a cognitive mess. And he said, quote, but I realized that I just wasn't in control. Wow. Yeah. It's like he's begging you not to vote for him. He said every bad thing you could ever say in terms of a debate. So Stephanopoulos asked him, what's your plan to turn the campaign around? And Biden said, how many people can draw crowds like. But how many people can mumble draw clouds crowds. Crowds like I drew today. And Stepanopoulos says, I don't know if you want to play the crowd game with Trump. Biden is so mentally degraded that he thought comparing his crowd size to Trump might give him a little boost. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And then when they asked about his approval rating of 36%, he says, I don't believe that's my approval rating. So he denied reality. But in the end, he summarized. He said, I did the goodest job as I know I can do. That's an actual quote. I, I did the goodest job as I know I can do the goodest job. Oh, my God. All right, so here's how I would define it all. Summary. Our goodest president is the non liar with good character who built his 2020 campaign around the fine people hoax, the most debunked hoax in American history. All right, and now to prove that Biden did a great job at that interview, his campaign canceled plans for Wisconsin fundraiser in July. That's not what you call a vote of confidence from the campaign. They just canceled one of his big fundraisers. Does that mean that they don't think he's going to be the candidate in Wisconsin? July? Because this is July. I don't Think they think he's going to be the candidate? I don't. I'm not sure if they know how they can push him out, but pressure is going to be on. All right. Do you remember the five minute period when all the Democrats were saying, we don't want a liar to get in office, we need Joe Biden? Do you think that maybe that approach failed after CNN fact checked Biden with total remorse? No remorse. And, and do you think that it mattered that immediately after the debate Biden told another bunch of lies? They were so obviously lies that even his brainwashed supporters could tell 80% of them were lies. Do you think it became obvious after he lied so much in the debate? I mean, about his own cognitive health, especially. Anyway, and then Trump debunks the fine people hoax while he's telling you that he, that the liar is Trump. And I think there's only one person in the world who can say with a straight face that Trump is the liar in the race. Do you know who's the only person who can say it with a straight face? Joe Biden. Because he can't move his face. Yeah, I'm doing a hilarious impression of his frozen face. Yep, he's the only one who could do it with a straight face. Speaking also of Megan Kelly's opinion on this, she talked about how Biden was the one that the Clintons used as their attack dog against the bimbo eruptions. Now, I didn't remember that, but do you remember that Biden was the one who was slandering the women, trying to destroy the credibility of the women, accused Bill Clinton, it was his job to be the professional liar and say that the accusers were liars and destroy their lives. Now let's go back to General Flynn's son who said, you know, let him burn in hell. Yeah, let him burn in hell. I mean, he has a pretty long record of, you know, didn't he do the same thing with Clarence Thomas? And I mean, he's got a long record of being a terrible human being. Just a terrible human being. Not just a terrible politician, but he's a terrible human being at a level like you probably don't even know anybody that bad unless they're actually in jail. All right, Mike Benz had a, I forget if I told you this. He had a frame or a reframe that is so good. His reframe is that as Biden is failing that the deep state needs a new host body. Oh, my God, that's perfect. So his take, which I totally agree with, is that the, you know, the so called security state, the CIA, the all the intel spooks and stuff, they're the ones who always run the country. And as long as they have some, you know, brainless puppet that they can control, then they're perfectly happy. They don't need that brainless puppet to do much except whatever they need. And so now their brainless puppet is failing. And by the way, the Ben's idea is that Biden has always been the deep states, you know, or the, let's say the intelligence people's guy always has been. And that he was the, maybe he was more important than Obama during the Obama administration. He just didn't know it and that he was there because the people in charge wanted to make sure that their guy was there. Now you could argue how much Obama was their guy as well, but it certainly made a difference that the Vice President was there because he's, you know, he was reliably the intelligence people's guy. I was watching a video this morning, I didn't get through it about the history of the CIA. At first it was the OSS that was the first US, you know, entities. And the early thinking was you didn't want to have a permanent intelligence apparatus, you only wanted to have it during war. That was the early American belief that during a war you could do the dirty tricks. And it made sense because you got to win at all costs. But if you're not in a war, the most dangerous thing would be to have this well funded security state because they could take over your country as well. So a number of presidents were completely aware of that risk, that if they funded this, you know, well trained bunch of people who are supposed to not follow the laws or at least laws in other countries, that there's no way you could prevent them from taking over this country. And they did apparently. Apparently they did. So I mean, I say apparently because it seems obvious to me. I mean it's obvious after Mike Benz explains it all, but then you can see it pretty clearly and interestingly back in those early days, you know, the, the JFK days when things were really in the control of the, the spooks that they, most of them lived in a small area in Georgetown, that the people who really ran the country behind the scenes, that they were neighbors, they all knew each other and they partied together. So there actually is an identifiable group back in the county today who were really running the country and they were friends and neighbors. It was exactly what it looked like. It was a bunch of people who figured out how to take over the country for their own benefit, and they just ran it behind the scenes. After the debate, Trump said some stuff about black jobs, and Dr. Fung Juice informed me that hashtag blackjobs was trending yesterday. So apparently there are a number of black voters who are seeing the same frame, I guess, the same point of view, that the mass migration is going to take black jobs first. I don't know how true that is, but it sounds like it's plausible, you know, that there would be competition at the lower end for jobs. But it's interesting that this is somewhat organic. It doesn't look like there's any kind of, you know, Trump influence. It looks like just voters who are talking about black jobs and thinking that Biden isn't the answer if they want more black jobs. So what's interesting about it is that it doesn't seem to be coming from any organized anything. It just seems people picked it up. Vladimir Putin says that he supports Trump's. Well, at least the in concept. He supports Trump's idea of ending the war with a negotiated settlement. Now, Putin says he doesn't know what that would look like, so he's not agreeing to anything in advance. He's just saying that the idea of negotiating it with Trump sounds like something he could support. Now, is that election interference? Kind of, but it's not outside of what a leader should be able to talk about. So it's kind of a, you know, I, I guess it would be in the appropriate kind of influence, but it's a little. It's a little worrisome because I don't really want to hear his opinion about who we elect. Now, he didn't give an opinion about who he elect. He just said that if Trump had a plan, he'd be interested in looking at it, which is, you know, a weak form of support. But still, it's a little bit too pro Trump for my comfort. But I do like the fact that every time he's asked to act rationally, he does. It gives me comfort every time I see Putin do something that just looks okay, that's. In your situation, that looks pretty smart. So. So, meaning that he won't do something irrational. But I would add that deal makers know deal makers and that Trump's a deal maker, Putin's a deal maker, and deal makers can always make deals. The. The thing you have to worry about is not when two deal makers get together. You have to worry when a Putin and a Biden are on each side, because Biden's not A deal maker. He's a whatever puppet or something. I mean he's not going to make a deal. He doesn't even have the authority. It would have to come from whoever handles him. So he's not really a deal maker. He's not famous for it. He's. There seems to be no evidence he can do it. But Trump is deal maker and Putin's a deal maker. Do you think they don't recognize that in each other? Of course they do. Of course they do. They would do whatever just is practical and makes sense. But here's what you can do. A deal maker can work with another deal maker, but as I posted on X, deal makers can't work with dementia patients who look like the after photos in a taxidermist marketing campaign. So Putin can't deal with Biden because Biden's not, he's just not all there and he's not a deal maker and he's not smart and he doesn't want what's best for the country. Clearly he doesn't. Now usually I say that's mind reading, but the Ukraine war is a pretty obvious example of you, you not fighting for the interests of the public. Whatever that is about is not about the American public. I don't know what it's about. Looks like, you know, an energy play, a pirate raid on another country, colonialism. I don't know what it is, but it's not good for me, that's for sure. Anyway, on the stealing my democracy theme, David Sachs mentions a few things that would seem to suggest the Democrats are the ones stealing your democracy. He said that Trump or not Trump, but that Biden censored and the Democrats, basically the Democrats censored the Internet, jailed political opponents, removed opponents names from ballots, rigged primaries by blocking alternatives, hid evidence of the candidates unfitness and disenfranchised their own voters by letting donors pick the new candidate. Which seems like that's going on now. And then of course you got the Wisconsin drop boxes and you got the imported voters and registering of non citizens to vote. I mean that's a pretty long list of anti Democratic things. But I would like to say that persuasion wise, somebody needs to put together the definitive list. List. This is a good starter. I'd like to see a list of maybe the top 10 things that Democrats, and Biden in particular have done to reduce or degrade the democratic process. So if somebody could put together a, like a nice tight 10, top 10 that would be very persuasive right now. I've said that laundry List persuasion is sort of an invalid form, but it's not invalid if they're all true. It's invalid if it's, if they're fake. You know, a long list of fake things makes people think, well, at least a few of those are probably true. Now that is really, it's effective because you can make people think something's true that isn't. But it's really unethical. It's completely ethical to put together a list of 10 True Things. 10 True Things is completely fair and good persuasion as well, because the list itself is what does the persuading. Just don't do the unethical kind where you make up. Just don't do that, right? And you'll, you'll, you'll be fine. So somebody does that. Post it to me, let me know. Elon Musk said on X, I think it was last night, that there should be more investigating on the Epstein list. And he included two names of people he wanted special attention to to be investigated for their connections to Epstein. And he mentioned Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman. Now I almost didn't believe what I was reading there because I thought, did Elon Musk just suggest that Gates and his, and his PayPal co worker at the time, Reid Hoffman, somebody spent a lot of time with. Did he really just say that they need to be investigated for sex crimes? I'm going to give you a hypothesis. I think he might have been drunk. I don't know. It doesn't sound like something he would say in his normal, you know, posting. It feels like maybe he had a couple drinks Friday night, you know, sort of thing. I don't know, but it didn't look normal. Now I would like to demonstrate my ability to know when somebody is posting when drunk. Yesterday somebody said some stuff to me on X and I said, sounds like you've been day drinking. He contacted me later to say, I am very drunk. You nailed it. I've been drinking all day. So yes, I can read a post on X and I can determine that the user is drunk. Now that one, the case I gave was a little easier to spot, but I just don't see Musk in his normal work mind posting that unless he has knowledge. We don't know which he might, I don't know, but that's a, that's a pretty provocative thing to do. Jonathan T. Is writing about Dan Goldman, still trying to support Biden, which is hilarious. He's one of the ones who said that Biden is sharper than anyone I've spoken to on public policy. So, so now Goldman is saying this quote, so let's not just focus on Joe Biden here. Let's focus on the people around him, the administration, the policies, and most importantly, the appreciation, protection for the rule of law and our democracy that Donald Trump every single day has vowed to take down. He's literally mentioning the person they're law firing. If you're going to say that your candidate is in favor of law and order, you should not mention Trump at all, because Trump is literally the victim of the guy who doesn't appreciate law and order except to use it to kill his opponents. Amazing. It's amazing anybody can say that in public. He added that Biden is vibrant. Vibrant is a word they use when you can't think of a better word. How is the. The body after death? Well, amazingly, the embalming process was good. And he looked vibrant dead, but vibrant in his own way. Yeah, vibrant is the. Is the word you use when you just don't have anything that makes sense that you can use. He's kind of vibrant. I'm going to start using it. I'll say, you know, next time Biden gets up there and says, genghis Khan was my uncle and. And sharks ate my. Ate me, and, you know, just starts babbling, I'm gonna say, well, he was very vibrant. Very vibrant. And then Goldman brags that Biden has surrounded himself with an incredibly capable team with almost no turnover. Almost no turnover. Biden's having the worst campaign and one of the worst presidencies of all time, and he hasn't fired anybody. It's not good to say there's no turnover. That's not the thing that you thought it was. Listen to Trump. Trump criticized him by saying, you've never fired anybody. That's a good criticism. That's really a good one because it's one you didn't think about on your own. But as soon as you hear it, you think, how in the world is he our leader if he hasn't fired anybody in three and a half years? You can't run that job and not fire some people on a regular basis. But he didn't. Is that because he's so good at picking people? No, it's because he's not in charge. That's the only reason. Or he, you know, he doesn't have the will to pull the trigger. That's bad, too. All right, Bill Ackman, who got involved more in politics, you know, when there was the protest at Harvard and stuff, and he, he did a. I Think a great job of, you know, highlighting that situation, focusing attention on it and, you know, suggesting what to do, etc, but now he's. He's being. It looks like he's going to be saying more about politics, and he's been talking about Biden failing, etc. And he wrote a very long piece, A very long piece on X4X is very long piece with all the logical things that the democrats should do and gave them good, solid advice. So. So that was helpful, right? Because Bill ackman is very smart. And when he gave them advice, it was sensible, it was good common sense. It was smart, and it was exactly what you think should be done. And my only thought was bill ackman thinks that their problem is they don't have good advice. I think he needs to check his assumptions because I've been watching for a while. And I'll tell you what is not the problem. A lack of good advice. Is there anything you see the democrats doing that you think is a product of bad advice? It's definitely not bad advice. They're doing everything they want to do. Everything you see is a considered decision. It's just terrible and stupid and destructive. There's no problem with their advice. They know where to get good advice if they cared about good advice. Do you think the border is open because nobody advised them that they should close it? Do you think? I mean, you could take any part of the democrat platform or anything they've done, and you can very clearly see that good advice is not driving anybody's decision to do anything. It's just not. It's completely disconnected. But I love the fact that Bill ackman. I guess I'd call him a little bit idealistic at the moment, But I like that they're idealists. I like that there's a powerful person who's fighting for reason and common sense and doing what's right. That's all good, by the way. So this is not a criticism. It's just that I wish it would work, you know, I wish it would be active. And you've seen other people trying to give their good advice to the president. Whatever's happening with biden, it definitely is not a lack of good advice. I think he also gets bad advice. It's just not the underlying problem. There's something a lot deeper here. All right. The other thing we need a list of is the definitive list of Biden's lies. Not just the hoax list, but his recent lies, I'll say, in the last year. Somebody needs to make it and Then they need to update it every, every time he adds a new one. Now, don't, don't do a big write up. You know, you don't have to do a lot of detail. You just list them. And in this case, I wouldn't stop with 10. I would just keep adding to it and maybe even with dates. So, you know, you start with a base list, then maybe, you know, date told this one, told this one. Now, you don't want to repeat, so you don't want to have, you know, 10 versions of the fine people hoax in the same list. But somebody needs to be compiling the list because every time that somebody says the liar, the liar, the liar, you need to post it and say, all right, you know, if you believe that telling the truth is an important variable in this race, and that's a reasonable view, by the way, totally reasonable. But if you think that's your criteria, let's actually compare them. So the most persuasive thing we could do collectively is make a list, agree on a list and keep updating it. So somebody needs to step up and do that. I've got a warning for the country and I should warn you that I'm good with this warning, meaning that if you were going to listen to somebody who was going to make a prediction on this particular topic, you should listen to me because it's exactly in my sweet spot. There's a gigantic mental health crisis coming like you have never seen. And it's going to happen as Democrats realize that. I'm seeing a list here. I think that list is just the hoaxes. Oh, no, somebody has a list. Oh, look at that. Mario Knoffle has a list. Somebody just posted it on my comments in. All right, there are 15 of it. I'm just going to read his 15 suckers so you'll recognize the, the hoaxes. Right? Suckers and losers. Hitler did good things. These are things that he said. Trump said that he didn't say fine people hoax. My son died in Iraq. I capped insulin at $15. I kept Medicaid during 200 retaliation against enemies. Trump said he would be a dictator. No soldiers died in my watch. Border crosses fewer than Trump. Unemployment was 15% of the Trump. Trump wants to get rid of Social Security. Billionaires pay 8.2. Trump said inject bleach. Border patrol endorse me. I feel like that's half I of what he said in even just the last month. Good. So the source is an Vander Steel. So it looks like. Okay, so let me, let me give you the spelling of this so you can follow along. So it's a X account called Ann Vander Steel, spelled A N, N as in Ann V, A N D E R S T E E L. I haven't seen the account, but if that's Mario's source, it means that somebody's keeping a list. So good. Look at that. We're solving problems right here in live, solving problems in real time. Thank you for that. So I've often said that the Locals subscription group, you know, the community that follows me, it acts like an AI because with the, you know, 11, 000 people who are subscribers, there's always somebody who knows the answer to everything because it turns out it's lots of engineers, tons of lawyers, doctors, it's tons of professionals in the group. So every topic from physics to medicine to law. I just asked the topic and somebody on Locals has an answer or a source. It's amazing. It honestly is like a super brain that competes with AI at this point. Anyway, The mental health crisis is because I think Democrats having seen the big lie that Biden was capable, now that the big lie has been debunked and then the, the tent pole hoax, as I call it, the, the hoax that helds up the, the whole tent of the other hoaxes was the fine people hoax. And I think the fact that Trump has debunked it with precision for the first time allows the rest of the media to quote Trump and debunk it themselves or at least say that Trump debunked it and you'll at least hear what the debunk is. So I think that that plus other revelations that are coming out are going to show Democrats that they were the baddies all along, not necessarily the voters. Although you could, you know, make your own decision about how much blame to assess, but that they were supporting leaders who were the bad guys. I think they're going to find out that their own people were law faring and hunting, hunting Republicans, etc. And I think that a bunch of them are going to wake up realizing that their, their world was not real. Tucker Carlson talked about this recently, that when he realized it wasn't just that people here and there are lying about stuff, but that the entire enterprise, the government itself, and maybe most of big business, is completely fake. Meaning that what they tell you is real is not real. And we've come to believe that we have some concept of what the country is and how it runs and great things America's done and none of it's real. It's Just all made up. And once you realize that is really disorienting. So I think that you're going to see a lot of Democrats go the same direction as Joy Reid. Now, Joy Reed, I'm going to say it directly. We should never be diagnosing somebody's health in public. Would you agree if you're not a doctor, you shouldn't be diagnosing anybody's health in public? No. That's the stupidest fucking thing anybody ever said. We can all diagnose Biden's health in fucking public at some point. You don't have to be a fucking doctor to know somebody's sick. Just look at Joy Reid, look at Rachel Maddow. I don't have to be a mental health professional. They have a problem. It's real. They're doing it right in front of you. If you say you don't see it, you're lying. You see it. Now, I know my viewers all see it, so I'm not talking to you. But if you're a Democrat and you say you don't see that, really, then maybe you didn't see that Biden was a little bit degraded. It's really, really obvious. And, and if you think, oh, Scott, you're just being biased, you're saying that Democrats are crazy because you disagree with them. No, I don't see that on cnn. I don't say that Jake Tapper has a mental illness. I see no signs of it whatsoever. Just, you know, different opinions, different incentives, etc, and it's very, it's very clear that it's limited and very specific to msnbc. It's a mental health crisis, that they're sort of the canary in the coal mine. They're definitely insane at the moment. I mean, there's nothing else to say. They look insane. But now imagine that multiplied by 80 million people. You know, there are a lot of people are going to find out their entire belief of life was built on lies. Not just this year, but always. That's the disorienting part. If the only thing you found out is that you're being lied to at the moment, we easily deal with that because we live in a world where people lie to you. You find out. But if you find out the entire structure of everything you believed about America was completely false, completely, that's really disorienting. And that's coming. You can't stop that. That's going to happen. I think they'll notice that the lawfare has all failed because it went past inauguration. It was fake anyway. Mark Levin said on a X post, fire Joy Reid says she's a bigot. She's. And if they need to hire somebody who has the same race and genitalia, please do it. But she's calling Trump Hitler, and she's just crazy. He didn't say crazy. He said bigot. But he should have said crazy. All right, I've got a question about shipping costs. Sounds like it's off topic, but it's not. Shipping costs are high because energy costs are high. Inflation in general is high. You know, every. Everything from salaries, etc. But also, I don't know if you knew this, but the. Because of Yemen firing the rockets at the ships, the. A huge percentage of ships now don't use that route anymore, and that was the shortcut. So there are a gigantic number of ships who have to take the super long route to avoid the Yemen attacks. Now, that adds a huge amount to your shipping costs, which adds a huge amount of cost to everything you buy, which is a real problem. Now let me ask you this question. Don't you think a capable president could solve that right away? And don't you think Trump in particular could solve that right away? Because here's the thing. Yemen needs to be just wiped off the map if they can't figure out any other way to fix it. Now, I hate to be cruel and warlike, but if you're currently driving up our expenses that much, you need to die. And if Biden isn't willing to put the firepower into it that it requires, I'm pretty sure I know somebody who will. I think there's somebody who would drop a mother of all bombs into the middle of their whole operation and say, I got more of these. How far you want to go? Because I'll tell you as far as you want to go. I'll take out the capital. Will that kill lots of innocent people? Yes. Would I do it? Yes, I would. I would. Because I'm. I'm sick and tired of protecting people from their own leaders. I'm just not willing to do it anymore. You can't hide behind your own population. If you're going to be bombing international ships in the water, we need to wipe out your old fucking country. Is that cruel? Yes. Is it evil? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes. It's the real world. This is the real world. Do real world things in the real world. Yeah. We could all say, well, that would be terrible. Why don't we just find a way to work around it? We could. If you're suckers but in the real world, power is all that matters. It's all that it will ever matter. And so if you have it and you don't use it, you're idiots. We have it. We should use it. Now, I'm not in favor of, you know, opportunistic wars. I'm definitely not in favor of Ukraine, and I'm not so in favor of being, you know, too involved in anything that Israel gets into just because they can handle their own stuff. But Yemen is a big freaking problem to the whole country. And I would say, you know, you tell people, here's the deal, in 30 days, Yemen's going to disappear. Unless this stops. It will be a gigantic tragedy for the Yemenis. They should probably run as fast as they can. But I'm going to make the whole place disappear. Now, you can't say that, of course, but you could threaten. And I think that, I honestly think a good president could make the shipping costs go down 50% in six months. Number one, by unleashing the energy products of the United States to drive down costs, and number two, to make the entire Yemen situation go away in 30 days, probably. And the fact that it. Let me say this. I predict that if Trump wins and takes on that problem, that he will solve it quickly. And you're all going to wonder why it didn't happen before. I think that's what's going to happen. All right, I'd like to give you a little demonstration of reading body language. All right. I'll see if the technology works in theory. Nope, that didn't work in theory. If I push this button and then I push this button. And then I do this, and then I, I don't know if you can see me. So I got to view this tab and I got push this button. Here we go. There I am. All right, here's General Millie. And I want you to watch his head. When he's talking about normal things, his head bobs in a normal way. When he starts telling you that Biden is sharp, watch him shake his head. No, right now, in order to play it, I have to go to it. And every single time I meet with him, he is shake his head just fine. How people interpret that is up to them. But now watch. I engage with him frequently and, and alert sound, does his homework, reads the papers, reads all the read ahead material, and is very, very engaging in, in issues of very serious matters of war and peace and life and death. So if the American people are worried about an individual who. All right, did you see it? It's more obvious if you see the lead up to it and you see this head doesn't do that. Now, when he says things that are true, he doesn't do it as much. So if he says things like, I met with him often and briefed him, that's just a statement of fact. But he starts out by saying he's great. Yeah, he's great. So there are a few tells. One is the wide eyes. You'll see that in Congress a lot. Elizabeth Warren does the wide eye thing. AOC does it, you'll see it quite a bit. Schiff does it, but he has wide eyes. And if I haven't done the impression before, it goes like this. I'm saying some true things. I'm saying some true things. And now I'm getting ready to tell you a lie. Look at my eyes. I'm telling you something that even I don't think is true. I've got to open my eyes to convince you. There's also. There's one I've been watching. It's a little more subtle and it sees two lines between the eyebrows. I was watching one of the Biden campaign people lie, and when the Biden campaign person was lying, he's a professional liar. If you're a professional and you know the question that's coming, you can turn off your body language better because you're, you're like, okay, I gotta go pay poker face on this. Blah, blah, blah. That's totally true. Now, his eyes didn't get wide and he didn't shake his head, which meant he was really concentrating on his body language. But you wouldn't want to. He wouldn't want to play poker against me because he had to tell these two little lines when he lied. They, they got. You see this on mine there? I'm making those two lines appear by squishing my face. Watch those two lines when those things appear. Somebody's trying hard to convince you of something. Oh, I'm so serious. I'm going to convince you something with my eyebrows. So look for that. All right, here's my next question. And this is a question, not a statement. I may have told you that Bjorn Lomborg is reporting that apparently the Great Barrier Reef that we thought was going to disappear because of climate change has record growth. So the Great Barrier Reef is coming back gangbusters. Now, that was one of the main things the climate alarm has said. It's going to get warmer all the time, and there's no way this coral reef can survive. It's already Degraded and it's coming back. And from 20, the last three years actually have been unprecedented. It's not just coming back, but in a sort of record breaking way for the last three years. Now here's what I was asking. How many of these things went the way let's say Al Gore predicted? And I don't know the answer. I'd love to see the list. Are there more green areas in the world or fewer? Because I think there are more green areas. Now remember, I get biased, I get biased facts on this. So don't assume anything I say on climate stuff is real. I'm just telling you what I think I've heard and I'm asking you for clarification. So is there a list of. Well, let me say the other stuff. I've seen reports that the amount of ice is unchanged, but other reports that some glaciers are decreasing but total ice may be the same. So I don't know if the ice levels changed. Certainly they've, there's certainly change. For example, the North Pole area seems to be opening up with melted ice. But the counter argument is that other places have more ice and that the total amount of ice may be about the same if you counted it right. I don't know. So that one's a question mark for me. How about sea level rise? I'm pretty sure we haven't noticed anything in the United States as anybody else. You know those islands that were supposed to disappear? Nope, no change. So how about the storms being bigger and more frequent? I thought that already got debunked, but other people aren't so sure. So that's a question mark for me. What about the polar bears going extinct? My understanding is that they're doing fine. How about the temperature increasing, you know, according to the models? Well, there are three new studies, peer reviewed that suggest that all of the warming comes from the heat island effect, meaning the temp, the thermometers are too close to the cities that grew toward them, meaning the cities give off heat and sun fluctuations. Apparently 100% of the increase can be traced to those two things. According to some new papers that you know, don't necessarily mean, doesn't necessarily mean that the new ones are right. But I'm trying to think, you know, I get, I get a fire hose of biased stuff from the the right. But is there any prediction of climate change that came true? Does anybody have an example? And if there aren't any you should put together, somebody needs to again, laundry list persuasion. There should be a list of the top. I Don't know one, to use the word. Top eight predictions. What were the top eight predictions at the time of Al Gore? That would be a good starting point. Top eight predictions. And then how do we do now? Why don't I know that? Why do I not know that I actually pay attention? The reason I don't know it is that I see information on both sides, and so I don't know what to trust. I definitely see people saying, oh, it's getting worse, and this way or that. But then I also say people saying, no, they just measured it wrong. You know, if you look at this, it's no worse than it was. And I don't know how do I know it's true? But it does seem to me that there's a lot of stuff that isn't confirmed to be true that would, in theory, be easy to confirm. Is there more ice or less? Sea level up or down? Polar bears? More or less. I feel like these are all confirmable things. So here's what I think. I think Trump is going to be right, that climate change is a hoax, meaning that the scientists never had a grasp on it. And whether or not things are getting warmer, which could be a problem, and whether or not humans are involved, I don't know. It's pretty clear the science was lying to you for decades about their certainty and about their predictions. Lying or you shouldn't trust them again if they were that incapable. So, ladies and gentlemen, this concludes my amazing presentation for Saturday, or Catter Day, as some of you call it, if you have cats. And thanks for joining. I'm gonna go talk to the people on locals, the special people, and I'll see the rest of you tomorrow because I'm here every day. You should be, too. All right, bye for now. Everybody else, except for locals. Locals will be private in.
