Chapter 1: What is the theme of today's discussion?
We'll get to that later. If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank of shells, a stein, a canteen jug, a 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 hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Sublime. Well, I'd like to do a demonstration now of my powers. Now, this is something that I demonstrated privately on a live stream just before I went live here with the people on Locals.
And what I'm going to do is I'm borrowing from a meme that's on the internet now that you can tell your cat to come to you if you use the proper cat language. So there's actually a phrase or a word that apparently will call your house cat to you. So I'm going to do this now. So turn up your speaker if you have a cat in the house and watch what happens. You ready for this? This is real, by the way.
So turn up your speaker if you have a cat and watch what happens.
Meow. Meow. Meow.
Now, if it's the same as the live stream I did just before this one, you can have your cats running from all your rooms toward you. Now, tell me in the comments as we go so other people can see if it's working out. But while you're waiting for your cats to attack you and jump on your laps, which they're doing right now, some are coming, some are not. The comments are coming in now.
Cats are coming. Some are coming. Some are not. All right. Well, keep an eye on that. So scientists, according to the University of Bristol, they've... Well, that's where it is, actually, the research. The University of Bristol. And they've created the world's first carbon-14 diamond battery. Diamond battery. Yeah. So now you can... Keep your spouse powered up at all times.
So I was looking for a diamond battery. This one could last thousands of years. So what makes it special is how long it lasts, and it could last in terrible environments like space. So you could send down a space probe and have a diamond battery, and it would stay powered for, I don't know, hundreds or thousands of years.

Chapter 2: How does diet affect mental health?
So I don't think this will be in common usage, but if you need anything that needs power for a few thousand years, you've got an option. Diamond battery. Well, did you know that if you eat ultra-processed food, you have a higher risk of depressive symptoms, according to SciPost? Of course you did. Or you could have just asked me. Yes, if you eat crap food, your mental state will decline.
If you eat healthy food, your mental state will be better. How many times do we need to test this? Would this be the millionth research study that showed that if you eat right, your brain works better and you're happier? I don't think it's ever gone in any other direction, has it?
Has there ever been a scientific study that said, we took these people and we made them eat right for a month and everything went off the rails. They couldn't concentrate when they were eating right. Not once. 100% of the science is all in the same direction. Your body is your brain. Good news, Trump has introduced a Trump fragrance. Okay, there's a theme today.
So the theme for the show is that I can't tell what's true today. There's a lot of news today, but Unlike most days where you go, oh, that's probably true. I don't know about that one. Yeah, that looks true. Today, almost every story I looked at, I thought, I don't know if that's true. So is this true? Is it true that Trump introduced a Trump fragrance called Fight, Fight, Fight?
Or is that just an internet meme? Does anybody know if that's true? Because the funniest part about it is, even if you like Trump a lot as a politician, do you really want to smell like him? I've never once, never once have I, you know, awakened in the morning and was like, oh, if only. If only I could find a way to smell like President Trump. Now, I'm not saying it smells bad.
I'm just saying it never really occurred to me to try to match his fragrance. So I can't tell if it's even real. Is that real? I'm looking in the comments. I'm not seeing anybody say it's not real. There's just something wonderful about it, the whole story. Meanwhile, here's the second story. I can't tell if it's real.
There is an alleged video, which I watched, that seems to show Kamala Harris at what they say is her home residence and some kind of a holiday party. And if it's a real video... She is really drunk. But it's a grainy video, and it's in the age of AI fakes. So I don't know. I have no idea if that's real. And that's going to be my theme for today, as I told you.
Like, I don't know, is the Trump fragrance real? I have no idea. Is that video of Kamala Harris that looks drunk, but also could easily be AI, is that real? I don't know. I mean, I really genuinely don't. I'm not even leaning in one direction. I don't know if that's real. But it would be easier to fake a video if it were a grainy video where you couldn't see the lips syncing to the AI.
At the moment, that would be the tell. So I don't trust that one, but it could be real. It might be real. I don't know. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris's campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, who some say he's the one who folked everything up, Quentin Folks. But he was talking about why they didn't have a Democrat primary.

Chapter 3: What does the Trump fragrance controversy reveal?
And have you noticed that Obama went from chocolate Jesus to irrelevant and kind of stupid and maybe a little bit racist? I've never seen anybody's reputation just sink like that so quickly. Because even if you hated his policies, you would have said, well, he's certainly good at what he's doing, speaking and communicating and persuading and just basically acting like a president.
But the last few times we've seen Obama, it almost looked comically incompetent. Why is that? Did he always have other people writing his stuff so he looked more capable than he was when he was president? Has he lost a step? Maybe he's not reading as much. I don't know. Is there some reason he looks to me like not the same person he was five years ago?
And he's not that old, so it's not just age, right? So, I don't know. I think it might be a little bit psychological, meaning that if my opinions about the world have shifted, then my opinion about him maybe gets shifted at the same time. But I've never seen anybody go from so capable to so incompetent, apparently. And again, it could be just a psychological phenomenon that's happening in my head.
But it sure looks like he turned... I wasn't really expecting that. Because I've always said that, even if you don't like his politics or anything about his personality, he's just really good at his job. But not lately. It's not his job, but he's a public communicator. Meanwhile, Tim Walz has his newest explanation of why they lost. He says, quote, I think we're going to have to understand
What type of leadership do they want? Talking about the country. He said, we were pledging to be inclusive. We were pledging to bring people in. Donald Trump has said that isn't what he wants. And so that's what America is leaning towards. I guess for me, it's to understand and learn more about America because I thought they were going to probably move towards a more positive message.
Oh my God, he's lost. They are so lost. They think that discriminating against white men is inclusive. They don't know that they were the bad guys. They don't know that the reason that MAGA grew is because it wasn't racist. There was nothing stopping anybody from joining MAGA because there was no identity politics. But on the Democrat side, they were literally
overtly discriminating against white men forever, and they call that inclusive. All right, let me ask you a question. Did you hear the story about the highly qualified black American man? He was an engineer, and he went to the best schools, and he had a really good experience, and he couldn't get a job in corporate America. Did you hear that story? Highly qualified,
And he just couldn't get a job because he was a black man in America. No, you haven't heard that story because that isn't anything that can happen in America. There's probably never one case where a qualified black man, let's say an engineer, just to pick an example, couldn't get a good job in corporate America. I'll bet there's not one in the whole country. Let me say it again.
I don't think there's even one Not even one. Literally one. I'm not exaggerating. I don't think there's one qualified black engineer who can't get a job right away. Anywhere. Now, have you ever heard of a qualified white man who couldn't get a job because of DEI? Yes, every one of you have heard that. How do you live in this country and think that black men can't get a job in corporate America?

Chapter 4: Is identity politics damaging the Democrat Party?
But the way he answered questions about that question made you think that maybe he's now wed to his political party. Now, it's interesting because he's in legal jeopardy. And I wonder, first of all, I don't know if the corruption charges are real. We live in a world where it could be lawfare. You never know. But I wonder if he thinks...
No, I guess those probably wouldn't be federal charges anyway. So he's not playing for a pardon. He's not hoping to change parties and get a pardon because it's state charges, right? The allegations against him. So we'll keep an eye on him. But at least we understand why he seems a little bit one foot in each of those worlds because he's had one foot in each of those worlds. There's a...
Terrible data coming out of the Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Colin Rugg is reporting this on X, that apparently there's an alarming number of bottlenose dolphins that are showing up with traces of fentanyl in their systems. And they said that more than a third of the dolphins tested were positive for drugs.
Now, of course, the story is that they think maybe the fentanyl is getting into the waste system and then gets into the ocean and the Then the bottlenose dolphins get into it. But I've got a different theory. The reason they're called bottlenose dolphins is because they're famous as being alcoholics. That's why they call them bottlenose.
It's like, oh, can you get that bottle out of your nose for just a second? So the regular dolphins, they don't have much of an addiction problem. But the bottlenose dolphins, Well, they're partiers. They're partiers. So maybe it's because of the wastewater system. Maybe they're just getting it directly from Mexico and snorting it. I don't know. I don't know what's real.
I'm just saying I don't know much about dolphins is what I'm saying. But the only thing I know for sure is they didn't do it on porpoise. Meanwhile, according to Fox News, the feds have been using banks to surveil Americans, and they've asked banks to search for terms like Trump Mega Bass Pro Shops Cabela's. I guess that's some kind of store that we don't have around here.
And Dick's Sporting Goods. So apparently the... Which group is it? The committee... One of the government committees called the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. So it's looked into this and found out that banks have been a little too cooperative with government requests and maybe crossed the line constitutionally. That's what they're looking at.
But I used to work for a bank, and I have this advice for you. There's no such thing as a confidential financial transaction unless you pay cash and then murder the person you transacted with. If you're doing anything financially, of course the government can get at it. Let me explain a banker mentality to you. You ready? Hi, I'm from the government. I would like you to bend over
and shove your own ass, or shove your own head all the way up your own ass. Now I'll do the banker. Okay. That's the relationship of the government and the banks. Because the bank can't tell the government no. The banks are really, really dependent on the laws being just the way they are to protect the banks. I'm not even sure why we have banks.

Chapter 5: What happened in the Daniel Penny trial?
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the fentanyl found in dolphins?
Here's something that somebody said on social media that just put all of it to rest for me. If these UAPs, which a lot of them are over American bases or over American assets, if they were really a threat, you would see American military trying like hell to shoot them down. Even if they didn't know what they were, the American military would be all over it. You'd see the drones flying
but then you would immediately see helicopters and jets and stuff trying to figure out what they are, and you don't see that. The only explanation is it's our stuff. Am I wrong about that? If the American military is not reacting to flying objects they can't identify routinely over their bases, it's got to come from the base, or it's got to be an American military asset. Right?
What, you're saying no? How could it be anything except ours if we're not responding to it? I don't see any possibility that it could be a real threat or even a real unknown, at least to the military people who are directly below it. There's no scenario in which they're not lighting up the sky if they can't identify flying risks above a military facility.
I mean, even if they didn't think it was a military risk, they'd still shoot the fucking thing down because it's over a military base. It doesn't matter who it is. If you're over a military base and you're hovering and you're looking dangerous, Am I wrong? They're going to shoot it down. Or at least they're going to try.
So the fact that you don't even see any attempted interaction is pretty confirmatory that either the pictures are fake or the military knows exactly what they are, but they can't say because it's private. But that wouldn't explain the ones in other countries. I think the other countries are probably just drones. People have drones. Some of them are operating in some kind of coordinated way, etc.
But the other possibility that's more exciting is that there might be some Chinese tanker ship off the coast of America and they're doing testing. Every once in a while, they'll release a dozen drones and watch the response from America. And then maybe America knows that's what's happening or suspects that's what's happening and they don't want to give away the response.
So maybe they're letting them do it to think that we don't have a response, but maybe we do. I don't know. I'm not buying that. So I think that's a little too much to accept. So I'm going to go with the ones that are over American bases are just our own technology, because of course we're doing advanced drone-coordinated attacks. Of course we are. Every modern country is working on that right now.
So obviously there should be, a whole bunch of American drones practicing military stuff above bases. It's the most obvious thing I would expect to see if everything is working the way it should. But the ones in other countries and the other videos, they might be just fake videos. So I think it might be a combo of
of American stuff that's perfectly safe to Americans, and some fake videos from other places and other times and stuff like that. That's my best guess, but I don't know. So Taylor Lorenz continues to get in trouble. I've tried every day to not do a story about her.
