Episode 1499 Scott Adams - Today I Will Talk About Joe Manchin, Swollen Balls, and Other Horrors

good morning everybody welcome to the golden age yeah it's the golden age and i'll even put on my microphone so that the youtube people can hear me better well do we have good news for you today and fun news and stories that you'll want to hear yeah we do it's going to be great but if you'd like to take it up a level and i know you do because why would you settle for less don't settle for less you can have it all all you need is a copper mugger glass a tanker jealous just a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen now go well if you made it here on time you are in for a treat because today is the best funniest most entertaining news of all time that's a promise let us get right to it uh top of the news you've heard of the pegasus spy software that gets on your phone and gets into all your stuff and it's so advanced that only uh governments have access to it but we found out that there was a flaw or at least a hole in the apple phone operating system that this pegasus software was uh was uh taking advantage of and apparently there are names of people who are allegedly targeted by the software including a lot of journalists and activists that's right journalists and activists are being targeted by foreign nations to be spied upon and their everything on their phone is accessible to them everything now have i told you before that one of the weird things about my life is that you read the news but i'm often in it mcdougals i see your comment yeah i mean you watch the news but i watch the news and i'm in it so i read this news about this pegasus spy program that's targeting activists and and reporters and journalists am i on that list and if i'm not why not if i were a foreign country the first person i would want to look into was me because i seem to be influencing things now i might not be it could be an illusion it could be an illusion it could be just that everything i try to influence seems to go my way maybe not everything of course nobody nobody gets everything but i immediately dropped everything and updated my phone because i guess there's a fix for it but i'll tell you i've never updated my software so fast the moment the moment i saw that like okay drop everything drop everything because the the odds that somehow i've been targeted just as a you know a person who talks in the media about politics and maybe has some influence uh that's some scary somebody says jesse waters mentioned to me last night on gupfeld i have that recorded and i will watch that today well here's some good news are you ready for the good good news really good news great news i'm going to give you the best news today that you've ever heard you ready now some of you don't think it was a problem climate change but suppose you did or suppose you didn't think it was a problem but you'd like everybody to shut up about it which would be a different kind of problem there are two gigantic happenings that you know that that can solve climate change number one a carbon capture plant the world's first and largest just opened up it's a factory that sucks air into it takes the carbon dioxide out mixes it with water and turns it into some kind of limestone and sticks it in the ground now how many factories would you need to suck enough yes in iceland how many would you need and the the company is a swiss startup called climb works climb as in climate climb works he now we know the technology works okay so we don't have to wonder hey will this technology work already works they built the factory they didn't build a prototype hear this clearly it's not a prototype it's an actual factory that's taking carbon dioxide out of the air now how many do you need i don't know but how much more efficient can the carbon capture become well if it's like everything else in the world it starts out somewhat barely efficient and it just keeps getting better what happens when our technology for carbon capture goes from kind of kind of works to really good problem solved right so when you see that it's already apparently economical in some sense i don't know i can't imagine that they have a profit and a what they're not selling anything so i don't know who's funding it but it got funded so it means that somebody has an interest that's large enough to put money into it so if you don't have a technical problem because it works there's no question about it it's open right it's open and working you don't have that question and you don't have a funding problem because many would say it's the biggest problem in the world or whatever yeah it may be inefficient now but what's it going to be what will the technology get to in 10 years that's the question you have to ask yourself i don't know so adam dopamine was pointing this out the story out but it also goes to what i call the adam's law of slow-moving disasters how many of you have heard of that have you all heard of the adam's law of slow-moving disasters it's it's i named it after myself and the law states this that the only disasters you have to really worry about are the ones you didn't see coming the ones that sneak up beyond you fast like the pandemic well arguably we could have seen that coming but not the specific one and the argument goes like this that whenever we whenever humanity can see a problem developing over decades we always solve it such as you're going to run out of oil nope we saw it coming and we've learned to frack and do other things and we solved it you're going to run out of food because there are too many people nope nope we just figured out how to grow more food the the cars are gonna pollute the air and we won't be able to breathe nope nope we just changed some laws and made the the smoggy cars go away and it's much better now right so basically every time you find a problem how about the uh the ozone hole in the in the atmosphere so when i was a kid the ozone was going to disappear and we'd all be fried by the sun but we knew it would take a long time to happen and so we changed some laws and got rid of aerosols and we're fine so climate change is the prototypical example of that because we're looking at an 80-year kind of time frame you know and granted it's the first 20 that that might be critical but it's a lot of time by human standards that's a lot of time and the odds that we will figure out workarounds for it are really good so am i worried about climate change no because everybody else is if everybody else was not worried about climate change i might be worried about it because i'd be like hey i'm not positive this is going in the wrong direction but it might and nobody's doing anything about it but if you tell me we've got decades to work on something and everybody knows it's a problem or let's say most of the scientists and most of the industry believes it's a problem some of you maybe not but that's exactly the situation that makes me feel comfortable my ideal situation is there's a problem that will take decades to materialize and we're working really hard to fix it already that's a good situation golden age here we come and now here's the second part of that i'm all about the good news today are you feeling better do you feel a little optimism today all right here's the second part um if you've been watching uh michael shellenberger talk about green energy being not as useful as we hoped it would be and that nuclear energy actually is the only really feasible way to give us all the energy we need in the future with other sources of course but we can't not do nuclear power and we need it for space and blah blah but here's the thing in the history of humanity or at least let's say your lifetime have you ever heard of a major uh debate let's say a public debate where there are definitely people on both sides like really dug in take abortion abortion would be where there's two sides really dug in take um socialism two sides really dug in nothing's gonna change and that that defines most of our topics right somebody says there's three sides in some cases okay but i'm simplifying for for this wouldn't you say that over your entire life you've never seen a major debate with two sides where somebody just won the debate and the other side said okay you're right can you think of any case where that's ever happened it's happening right now do you see all the protesters protesting against the building of nuclear power plants nope do you see all the people going on television and saying we should close all of our nuclear power plants nope no do you know why because the debate is over it's the only time it's the only time a debate has ever been won that i can think of you won't even see anybody go on television who's an expert you know i'm not talking about some scared citizen but you won't see any experts on television saying we shouldn't build nuclear power plants because if you've got an expert associated with the right political right they'd say yeah nuclear power plants but if you got somebody associated with the left let's say joe biden he'd say yes on nuclear power plants have you ever seen this before and by the way i credit michael schellenberger for i don't know maybe most of this change because he's worked this harder than i've seen anybody work any topic ever and more effectively by the way his communication skills are through the roof rarely do you see somebody with that kind of communication skill who you know who gets a bite on a topic and just drives it down to ground but i think he did i mean he's testified to congress enough and incredibly and persuasively that you don't even see politicians railing against nuclear power do you because i think it would be embarrassing at this point now if you're a little behind the information here that the quick version is this if you are worried about uh storage of nuclear waste basically solved they just store it in big barrels right on site and they don't ship it anywhere when was the last time you heard a big story about a gigantic problem of where to store nuclear waste it's just not a problem they just store it on site problem solved and how about i see fukushima and listed there and how about the problem of safety because you don't want something like a fukushima you know melting down or something right were you aware that no modern designed nuclear energy plant has ever had a death or a meltdown fukushima's old design because you don't want something like a fukushima you know melting down or something right were you aware that no modern designed nuclear energy plant has ever had a death or a meltdown fukushima's old design you wouldn't build that today and even the new designs have been around so long what we call the newer you know generation three generation three has never had a problem those are the only ones you would build you wouldn't build a generation two you wouldn't build a chernobyl generation one right but zero problems with generation three so if you think that there's a safety problem you'd have to answer the fact that zero people have ever died and there's never been a meltdown in a generation three um so waste your storage solved safety solved we're really good at generation three and by the way generation four won't even have a risk of melting down in generation four some of the designs actually eat nuclear waste as their own fuel so you know everything that we were worried about and then of course we've had some breakthroughs in the fission fission yeah or fusion i'm sorry we've had some breakthroughs in fusion which is you know even a bigger deal so if you're looking at uh climate change the two biggest things that could possibly ever happen are happening the debate on nuclear power is over i've never seen this happen before i've never seen a debate one it's really remarkable can you think of any other example i can't um all right so that's good news rasmussen has a new poll out saying asking if you believe that the the folks who are now in jail because of the january 6th protests at the capitol are they do you believe that they are political prisoners i'll ask this in the comments and i'll tell you what the rasmussen pool said do you think that the people in jail for the january 6 protest are political prisoners yes yes yes i'm seeing lots of yeses from the almost all yeses yeah now let me ask you this let me start by agreeing with you okay so i'm agreeing with you we're on the same side i would say that they're political prisoners too now let me let's go do a mental experiment suppose we picked one of them to look at so you randomly picked one of the people who's in jail for the january 6 stuff and you say what's what's this one in jail for and they'd probably say something like well we have him on video beating a cop with a blunt object should that person be in jail yeah of course of course it doesn't matter what you think of politics if somebody beat a police officer with a blunt object yeah yeah jail no doubt about it so let's pick somebody else because that one's obvious so you pick the next person next person uh why is this one here well we also have them on video bear spraying a police officer okay well that one goes yeah that one needs to be in jail i feel like it's all going to be that right if you ask me do i think they're political prisoners yes but if you actually went down to each one and said well what about this one you know this one this one uh injured a cop no not that one but i'm not entirely sure they're not all that are you are you sure that that the people in jail are just trespassed because i don't have that information do you do you think that the people still in jail i'm only talking about one still in jail do you think that their only crime was trespassing the now the viking horn guy is an interesting case because i don't know that he did anything did the viking horn guy do anything but trespass so let's put it this way if there are people who are in jail for just trespassing then clearly they're political prisoners but i would imagine they would all be out on bail by now wouldn't they so i feel like i'd need to know a little bit more about that but emotionally emotionally and at the high level yeah political prisoners and you know what even if they're not you know even if you dug down and found there were specific charges that even you would say okay that's a specific charge it still feels like political prisoners i swear to god even if you told me the story for every one of those people he said all right look at it here's every one of these people look at their story you tell me that they should not be in jail and i'd say well maybe they should be this one and yet still i think it's political prisoners like i have two opinions that don't even fit together yeah they might be actually violent people and they're also just political prisoners i can't help it i'd love to tell you that i have a consistent opinion but i don't those two things don't fit together and yet i hold them both as truths so i don't know if you're different but anyway uh rasmussen's result was that 49 of the respondents said they agreed strongly or somewhat that the january 6 people are political prisoners let that sink in a little bit half of the country thinks we're holding political prisoners now i don't know if that's just a uh like a political answer to a poll because it might be you know people answer polls the way they want politics to bend i'm not sure it's their actual opinion that every person there is a political prisoner but like i said i have that opinion even if the facts don't support it like somehow my opinion is completely divorced from many facts and i don't care i'm not i don't even know what that means i don't know what that says about me what's it say about me that on this topic i don't care if the facts support my opinion have you ever had that feeling where you didn't care if the facts were on your side it wasn't going to change your opinion it's a weird feeling it's one of those times where you can feel your own irrationality all right i sent a tweet at uh joe manchin today i love the fact that i can tweet a member of congress and the odds that that member of congress will see the tweet are actually really good is that weird because you know and especially because i have a lot of followers and i've got a blue check i'm pretty sure if you're a senator you probably see all the blue check tweets about yourself don't you because it only takes you know a minute a day to look at twitter so i feel like he probably saw it or will see it but here's what i tweeted at uh joe manchin who as you know is in control of everything because he's the only senator who is willing to vote against his own party when things are evenly split so it gives them all the power and he's got the power for the uh the infrastructure bill and i guess he's also got the power on some kind of a voting access bill that the democrats also want um so i tweeted this at him i said hey senator joe manson since you controlled congress now how about getting us a law forcing states to have instantly fully auditable elections including any software or hardware components in addition to more voting options so i don't have any problem with voting options um i'm certainly not going to be the the person who says hey let's suppress the hours people can vote or suppress the way that they vote or anything like that not going to do that but i think we need the federal government to force the states to work towards some kind of instantly instantly see that's the key word it has to be instant we can't wait six months for a audit like we are now it's got to be instant otherwise it's useless because we if it's not instant you're still going to install the public the politician it's just sort of too late so it's got to be instant and we could totally do that right and fully auditable meaning the software the hardware and everything else now what's the fastest way to do that what's the fastest way to have an instantly auditable election how long would it take to make that happen one programmer one day per state one programmer one day that's the entire effort per state you know one per state there is a database that says you voted is there not or or there should be um you should be able to just check your vote that's it your vote should be registered in the big database in the sky and as soon as you vote you know wait five minutes or whatever you should be able to hit an app and they should tell you what happened to your vote now you might say yourself wait a minute id is the problem right because you don't want a person's identification matched to their vote how hard would it be to fix that add five minutes at five minutes because you want to store in the database a secret code that does identify the person but only they can unlock it you know they've got the key so the person who did the vote is the only person who can identify their own vote on the system because they've got the matching key how hard is that all right now of course i'm exaggerating it's not five minutes everything takes a year but we should be working toward it if you think it can be done of course it can be done of course it can it's not i mean conceptually it's not even difficult i just told you how to do it all you need is for people to be able to track their vote now the only thing it would catch is fake votes right am i right the only thing you wouldn't catch is a fake vote but could you engineer a solution to that by um randomly querying people who voted to find out if they're really the real person so you'd have to have two ways to look one to make sure that if you are a real person who voted that your vote got registered the way you wanted it to but secondly if there are votes that was that are fake people that you can randomly not all of them but randomly you can query the real person and say your vote was registered did you vote i feel like it's doable and i think joe manchin might be the only person who has enough power to make it happen stick that in there as a requirement by 2024 you have to have a fully auditable system or whatever um there would be your golden age if we could get that done there's a video that i tweeted around that i highly recommend just because it's fun to watch in china they uh demolished 15 skyscrapers at the same time and there's a video of a that looks like maybe a city block or something so there were 15 skyscrapers that they built but never had any occupants for they didn't finish them so i guess they got the basements got flooded and maybe they became unsafe or something so it was no longer practical to finish them so they blew them up now i guess this is not the first time they've done massive multiple building destructions they've done it in other places where they're clearing out buildings i think they've done like 36 at one time but watching 15 skyscrapers blow up at the same time you know because they they they blow up in a controlled explosion so that they just sink into the dust it's really cool it's really cool so look on my twitter feed it would be i just tweeted it this morning so it's near the top and just just to watch it for fun uh it's really kind of impressive kind of impressive well let's talk about the california uh recall race the election is today or the official election day and something very odd has happened very odd number one well a few odd things um number one newsom said i think it was yesterday that a vote for larry elder is a vote against diversity and racial justice that's right a vote against who would be the first black republican governor larry elder if he if he wins uh voting for him to be the first black republican governor of california is a vote against diversity it's against diversity i don't even i don't know how you even say that with a straight face now apparently there is approved diversity and unapproved diversity and the type of diversity that larry elder would bring is apparently unapproved the democrats do not approve of that particular type of diversity uh there's good diversity and bad diversity and i guess he's got the bad kind according to newsome but we've got this match and gasoline situation happening with this california recall i don't feel that the mood of the voters is up to revolution mostly because democrats are going to be i'm sorry republicans will be the victims and they tend not to hit the streets so much but there's something very bad going on that could be coincidence or something very bad is going on i don't know which it is but i'm open to the possibility it's either one so let me give you an example what's going on here you may know that the polling for who's going to win or whether or not the recall would be successful the polling in august looked like it was too close to call it was like within one percent what's the polling today not even close newsome is going to win like 57 if the if the polling is accurate now what happened between august and now they would make it from a super tight race where it looked like elder would win actually because of the trend line to not even close one month in one month it went from from too close to cult and not even close somebody says his money something about the way they campaigned nope it turns out that the explanation given in the news today is that the august polls were wrong and it's because they worded the poll wrong and they got the wrong result now isn't that convenient the the the one race that we think not we i'll take myself out of it the one race which many many republicans think will be rigged i'm not saying it will be i'm saying that republicans are claiming that that happens to be the same race that the polls suspiciously went from totally agreeing with republicans to suddenly totally disagree exactly the way you'd expect a rigged poll to come out because what would be the problem if the polls said it was super close but the vote wasn't because we were almost heading for a really big problem weren't we wouldn't it be a really big problem if the polls said it should be close but the vote said it wasn't and people thought it was a rigged vote republicans would take that as proof but suddenly by coincidence and by the way i'm only going to claim it's a coincidence because i don't have evidence of anything else but as coincidences go i don't think it could be worse it's a coincidence of a match being dropped in gasoline because if the polls are and you already don't believe the vote itself your credibility is just shot and credibility is the only thing that holds our system together that's it credibility you take the credibility away and all full support unless you use force so how many uh let's say irregularities are happening in the vote well if you're following dave rubin and you should follow dave reuben on twitter and also on locals um he and a number of other people are sort of uh you know getting into the the details of what's happening there and there's a lot of tweets in which people are responding to what they've personally observed now it's all anecdotal anecdotal means it doesn't mean it necessarily represents a large trend it's just people having specific experiences and reporting them and you don't even know if they're real people right so whatever credibility you want to put on these next claims lower it a little bit right now remember i've told you that all election fraud claims if you looked at the whole body of all claims made about all elections everywhere all the time at least in the united states they're going to be wrong 95 of the time right so 95 of all election fraud claims at least big ones big big claims turn out to be wrong at least 95 could be 100 but at least 95.

so keep that in mind uh and when i tell you that there are all kinds of reports of irregularities in the california election so you got people who got mailed uh you know two ballots one for the person who used to live there one for them people got two ballots for one for their maiden name and one for their old name people who got ballots and estate when they haven't been in the state for a long time and i won't go through all the examples but it's just lots of examples of people with a specific um complaint now are those specific complaints enough or even credible enough to imagine that there's some massive problem going on i don't see it yet it looks like just a whole bunch of individual complaints of various credibility but boy is it a red flag if you're asking is fraud proven i'd say no no there's no fraud proven and i don't see evidence that necessarily will be proven but damn there's a lot of questions and can you have a system that doesn't have credibility because there are so many questions and if joe manchin had done the job that we'd love him to do wouldn't we already have an election where you'd say well there are lots of irregularities but thank goodness you can check to see if your vote got registered correctly you can't all of these problems would go away it wouldn't matter how many claims you heard of irregularities as long as you could check your own vote you'd be pretty happy yeah uh please provide data if you're 95 false claim that's observational it's not based on data so i observe over the years that if you watch the claims and then you just wait long enough to see if they get proven or disproven they're 95 of the time they'll be disproven so that's that's exactly the experience we had with the 2020 election i mean i haven't seen any that were proven but certainly were a lot of claims all right um and apparently there's one story that's uh that 70 percent of the voters somewhere were being turned away because the system said they had already voted and then there was a claim that it was a software problem but then there was a clarification that it was more about a uh out of date poll book i don't know what an a date the poll book is or how that fit into the story but let's say that they do know that was a problem it turned out it was more like a handful of people when they figured out what the problem was they fixed it i think it's been reported as a massive problem where it might have been just an anecdotal thing that one area screwed up a little bit so i wouldn't be too worried about that anyway there there are massive uh let's say reports of individual problems but i haven't seen enough of the same kind of problem to suggest massive fraud now what are the odds the republicans will believe there was massive fraud in the california election it's a hundred percent because even uh even trump weighed in on this and said uh he said does anybody really believe that the california recall election isn't rigged that's what trump asked now he notice how cleverly he words it if he claimed it was rigged then he'd be in a little bit of trouble but if he says does anybody anybody believe it isn't rigged he's talking about what you think and that's fair because that's a fair statement he accurately is calling what we think which is different from knowing what is actually happening um so i don't know if anything's going to blow up based on the result it does look like newsome might win unless there's massive republican turnout which i suppose could happen here's a story that i've been noodling about all day because i didn't think this was true but i googled and i think it is true did you know that uh ice cream is highly recommended for people with dementia how many people do that the ice cream specifically ice cream is highly recommended for people with dementia apparently what it does is if you're uh if your dementia is causing you to get worked up and angry about stuff which is you know the most common or one of the most common side effects of having dementia apparently the ice cream just puts you in a different head it just as soon as you start eating the ice cream your brain just says ice cream and then you relax and all of your your extra anger from the dementia just just seems to go away now i didn't think this was a real thing until i googled it and saw oh it's actually recommended now let's talk about joe biden they literally send him out for ice cream and he loves his ice cream yeah all right so i think this ice cream thing how can we ignore his dementia at this point it's like it's kind of obvious isn't it kind of obvious all right there's a lot of uh i see a lot of chatter about personal choice and and vaccines and some people saying you know whether or not the vaccinations are a good idea or a bad idea it should be a personal choice whether you take them to which i say no it never is these things are just power uh there are a lot of issues that we act as though um we we act as though if we made a better argument we could win but it's never about that the vaccinations are about power if the people who want everybody to get vaccinated have more power than maybe it'll happen and if they don't have enough power it won't happen it has nothing to do with what's right or wrong we should just figure out who has more power and just just go with that let's talk about your balls so the big story is that tucker carlson did a segment uh talking about nicki minaj's uh uh tweet in which uh nikki said that her cousin's friend's uh testicles swelled up after getting the vaccination and it made him impotent not impotent made him unable to have children and caused his planned wedding to be cancelled now there are many funny things about this story and i don't know where to begin number one as some doctors pointed out uh nicki minaj i think you just outed your cousin's friend for having chlamydia because that's what makes your balls swell up and that may be but it made me wonder what would be the side effect if if this is actually a side effect of the vaccination now and let me remind you if a billion people get a vaccination someone in that billion people is going to get swollen bubbles the next day not necessarily because of the vaccination but if a billion people do anything somebody's going to have something happen the next day it doesn't matter what it is you'll have every everything that could happen somebody's going to have it so the fact that one guy's balls got bigger after a vaccination doesn't mean it was caused by the vaccination but on average wouldn't you expect i don't know how they measure this exactly because on average wouldn't you expect that the people who did get the vaccination and were not afraid of it on average wouldn't they have bigger balls because they're the ones who weren't were not afraid of the vaccination so the people are not afraid on average wouldn't they have bigger balls what no doesn't work that way don't hate me it's just a joke so um uh there's the other funny thing is that uh nicki minaj's cousin's friend with the swollen testicles um he uh i know a little bit about him i did some research turns out he wanted to be famous he wanted to be famous um and by the way if you go over to the locals platform you can see it fine uh he wanted to be famous but uh he did he fell a little short so instead all right you i'll just turn off youtube um so he this guy with the swollen balls wanted to be famous but only his balls are um and so that is the story of nicki minaj's cousin's balls now if you wanted people to take the vaccination and you want to persuade them what would be a good way to do it well one way to do it is to tell people that coven itself would make your balls shrink if i heard that there was any chance at all that covet would make my balls shrink what are the odds that i would go get that vaccination pretty good pretty good because uh i would take a 100 chance of dying but i wouldn't take a 100 chance of my ball shrinking am i right now i know that's not logical i'm not saying it's rational but men men back me on this you would take a one in 100 chance of dying if it you know if it meant doing a sport or doing something you like but would you take a one in a hundred chance of your ball shrinking now you might not so persuasion-wise yeah persuasion-wise uh telling people that covet would shrink your balls it's not true as far as letting them know but if if you could tell people that and make them believe it they'd probably go get the shot all right i gotta go do some other things and uh i will talk to you later sorry about the youtube thing um thorium doesn't need a water supply yeah china's testing in the gobi desert excellent hope it works out and i will talk to you all tomorrow

of all time

that's a promise

let us get right to it

uh top of the news you've heard of the

pegasus spy software that gets on your

phone

and gets into all your stuff

and it's so advanced that only uh

governments have access to it

but we found out that there was a

flaw

or at least a hole

in the apple phone operating system

that this pegasus software was uh

was uh

taking advantage of

and

apparently there are names of people

who are allegedly targeted by the

software including a lot of journalists

and activists

that's right journalists

and activists

are

being targeted by foreign nations

to be spied upon and their everything on

their phone is accessible to them

everything

now

have i told you before that one of the

weird things about my life

is that

you read the news

but i'm often in it

mcdougals i see your comment

yeah i mean you watch the news but i

watch the news and i'm in it

so i read this news about this pegasus

spy program that's targeting activists

and

and reporters

and journalists

am i on that list

and if i'm not why not

if i were a foreign country

the first person i would want to look

into was me

because i seem to be influencing things

now i might not be it could be an

illusion it could be an illusion it

could be just that everything i try to

influence seems to go my way

maybe

not everything of course nobody nobody

gets everything

but

i immediately dropped everything and

updated my phone because i guess there's

a fix for it

but i'll tell you

i've never updated my software so fast

the moment the moment i saw that like

okay drop everything drop everything

because the the odds that somehow i've

been targeted just as a

you know a person who talks in the media

about politics and maybe has some

influence

uh

that's some scary

somebody says jesse waters mentioned to

me last night on gupfeld

i have that recorded and i will watch

that today

well here's some good news are you ready

for the good good news really good news

great news

i'm going to give you the best news

today

that you've ever heard

you ready

now some of you

don't think it was a problem

climate change

but suppose you did

or suppose you didn't think it was a

problem but you'd like everybody to shut

up about it

which would be a different kind of

problem

there are two gigantic happenings

that

you know that that can solve climate

change

number one a carbon capture plant the

world's first and largest

just opened up

it's a factory

that sucks air

into it takes the carbon dioxide out

mixes it with water and turns it into

some kind of limestone and sticks it in

the ground

now

how many factories would you need

to suck enough yes in iceland how many

would you need and the the company is a

swiss startup called climb works

climb as in climate

climb works he

now

we know the technology works

okay so we don't have to wonder

hey will this technology work already

works they built the factory they didn't

build a prototype

hear this clearly

it's not a prototype

it's an actual factory

that's taking carbon dioxide out of the

air

now how many do you need

i don't know

but how much more efficient

can

the carbon capture become

well if it's like everything else in the

world

it starts out somewhat barely efficient

and it just keeps getting better

what happens when our technology for

carbon capture goes from kind of kind of

works

to really good

problem solved right

so when you see that it's already

apparently economical in some sense i

don't know i can't imagine that they

have a profit

and a what they're not selling anything

so i don't know who's funding it

but it got funded so it means that

somebody has an interest that's large

enough to put money into it so if you

don't have a technical problem

because it works there's no question

about it

it's open right it's open and working

you don't have that question

and you don't have a funding problem

because

many would say it's the biggest problem

in the world or whatever

yeah it may be inefficient now but

what's it going to be

what will the technology get to in 10

years that's the question you have to

ask yourself

i don't know

so adam dopamine was pointing this out

the story out but it also goes to what i

call the adam's law of slow-moving

disasters how many of you have heard of

that

have you all heard of the adam's law of

slow-moving disasters

it's it's i named it after myself

and the law states this that the only

disasters you have to really worry about

are the ones you didn't see coming

the ones that sneak up beyond you fast

like the pandemic well arguably we could

have seen that coming but not the

specific one

and the argument goes like this that

whenever we whenever humanity

can see a problem developing over

decades

we always solve it

such as you're going to run out of oil

nope

we saw it coming and we've learned to

frack and do other things and we solved

it you're going to run out of food

because there are too many people

nope nope we just figured out how to

grow more food

the the cars are gonna pollute the air

and we won't be able to breathe

nope nope we just changed some laws and

made the the smoggy cars go away and

it's much better now

right so basically every time you find a

problem how about the uh

the ozone hole in the

in the atmosphere

so when i was a kid the ozone was going

to disappear and we'd all be fried by

the sun

but we knew it would take a long time to

happen

and so we changed some laws and got rid

of aerosols and we're fine

so

climate change is the prototypical

example of that because we're looking at

an 80-year

kind of time frame you know and granted

it's the first 20 that that might be

critical but it's a lot of time

by human standards that's a lot of time

and the odds that we will figure out

workarounds for it are really good

so

am i worried about climate change

no

because everybody else is

if everybody else was not worried about

climate change i might be worried about

it

because i'd be like hey

i'm not positive this is going in the

wrong direction but it might and

nobody's doing anything about it

but if you tell me we've got decades to

work on something and everybody knows

it's a problem or

let's say most of the scientists and

most of the industry believes it's a

problem

some of you maybe not

but that's exactly the situation that

makes me feel comfortable

my ideal situation is there's a problem

that will take

decades to materialize and we're working

really hard to fix it already

that's a good situation

golden age here we come

and now here's the second part of that

i'm all about the good news today

are you feeling better

do you feel a little optimism today

all right here's the second part

um if you've been watching uh michael

shellenberger talk about

green energy being not as

useful as we hoped it would be and that

nuclear energy actually is

the only really feasible way to give us

all the energy we need in the future

with other sources of course but we

can't not do nuclear

power and we need it for space and blah

blah but here's the thing

in the history of humanity

or at least let's say your lifetime

have you ever heard of a major

uh debate let's say a public debate

where there are definitely people on

both sides

like really dug in

take abortion

abortion would be where there's two

sides

really dug in

take um

socialism

two sides really dug in nothing's gonna

change and that that defines most of our

topics right

somebody says there's three sides in

some cases okay but i'm simplifying for

for this wouldn't you say

that over your entire life you've never

seen a major debate with two sides

where somebody just won the

debate and the other side said okay

you're right

can you think of any case where that's

ever happened

it's happening right now

do you see all the protesters protesting

against the building of

nuclear power plants

nope

do you see all the people going on

television and saying

we should close all of our nuclear power

plants

nope

no do you know why

because the debate is over

it's the only time it's the only time a

debate has ever been won

that i can think of you won't even see

anybody go on television who's an expert

you know i'm not talking about some

scared citizen

but you won't see any experts

on television

saying we shouldn't build nuclear power

plants because if you've got an expert

associated with the right political

right

they'd say yeah nuclear power plants but

if you got somebody associated with the

left

let's say joe biden

he'd say yes on nuclear power plants

have you ever seen this before

and by the way i credit michael

schellenberger for

i don't know

maybe most of this change

because he's worked this harder than

i've seen anybody work any topic ever

and more effectively by the way his

communication skills are through the

roof

rarely do you see somebody with that

kind of communication skill

who you know who

gets a bite on a topic and just drives

it down to ground

but i think he did

i mean he's testified to congress enough

and incredibly and persuasively

that you don't even see politicians

railing against nuclear power do you

because i think it would be embarrassing

at this point

now if you're a little behind

the information here that the quick

version is this

if you are worried about uh

storage of nuclear waste

basically solved they just store it in

big barrels right on site and they don't

ship it anywhere

when was the last time you heard a big

story about a gigantic problem of where

to store

nuclear waste

it's just not a problem

they just store it on site

problem solved

and how about

i see fukushima and listed there and how

about the problem of safety

because you don't want something like a

fukushima you know melting down or

something right

were you aware that no modern designed

nuclear energy plant has ever had a

death or a meltdown

fukushima's old design because you don't

want something like a fukushima you know

melting down or something right

were you aware that no modern designed

nuclear energy plant has ever had a

death or a meltdown

fukushima's old design

you wouldn't build that today

and even the new designs have been

around so long

what we call the newer you know

generation three

generation three has never had a problem

those are the only ones you would build

you wouldn't build a generation two

you wouldn't build a chernobyl

generation one

right

but zero problems with generation three

so if you think that there's a safety

problem you'd have to answer the fact

that zero people have ever died

and there's never been a meltdown in a

generation three

um so waste

your storage solved

safety

solved

we're really good at generation three

and by the way generation four won't

even have a risk

of melting down in generation four

some of the designs actually eat nuclear

waste as their own fuel

so you know everything that we were

worried about and then of course we've

had some breakthroughs in the fission

fission yeah or fusion i'm sorry

we've had some breakthroughs in fusion

which is

you know even a bigger deal

so if you're looking at uh climate

change the two biggest things that could

possibly ever happen

are happening the debate on nuclear

power

is over

i've never seen this happen before

i've never seen a debate one

it's really remarkable can you think of

any other example

i can't

um

all right so that's good news rasmussen

has a new poll out

saying asking if you believe that the

the folks who are now in jail because of

the january 6th

protests at the capitol

are they do you believe that they are

political prisoners

i'll ask this in the comments and i'll

tell you what the rasmussen pool said do

you think that the people in jail for

the january 6

protest are political prisoners

yes yes yes i'm seeing lots of yeses

from the

almost all yeses yeah now let me ask you

this

let me start by agreeing with you

okay

so i'm agreeing with you we're on the

same side i would say that they're

political prisoners too

now let me let's go do a mental

experiment

suppose we picked one of them to look at

so you randomly picked one of the people

who's in jail for the january 6 stuff

and you say what's what's this one in

jail for

and they'd probably say something like

well we have him on video

beating a cop with a blunt object

should that person be in jail

yeah of course of course it doesn't

matter what you think of politics if

somebody beat a police officer with a

blunt object yeah yeah

jail

no doubt about it

so let's pick somebody else because that

one's obvious so you pick the next

person

next person uh why is this one here well

we also have them on video

bear spraying a police officer

okay well that one goes yeah that one

needs to be in jail

i feel like it's all going to be that

right

if you ask me do i think they're

political prisoners

yes

but if you actually went down to each

one and said well what about this one

you know this one this one uh injured a

cop

no not that one

but i'm not entirely sure they're not

all that

are you

are you sure that that the people in

jail

are just trespassed

because i don't have that information do

you

do you think that the people still in

jail i'm only talking about one still in

jail do you think that their only crime

was trespassing

the now the viking horn guy is an

interesting case because i don't know

that he did anything did the viking horn

guy do anything but trespass

so let's put it this way

if there are people who are in jail for

just trespassing then clearly they're

political prisoners but i would imagine

they would all be

out on bail by now wouldn't they

so i feel like i'd need to know a little

bit more about that but emotionally

emotionally and at the high level yeah

political prisoners and you know what

even if they're not

you know even if you dug down and found

there were specific charges that

even you would say okay that's a

specific charge

it still feels like political prisoners

i swear to god even if you told me the

story for every one of those people he

said all right look at it here's every

one of these people

look at their story you tell me that

they should not be in jail and i'd say

well maybe they should be this one

and yet still i think it's political

prisoners like i have two opinions that

don't even fit together

yeah they might be actually violent

people

and they're also just political

prisoners i can't help it

i'd love to tell you that i have a

consistent opinion but i don't those two

things don't fit together and yet i hold

them both as truths

so

i don't know if you're different but

anyway uh

rasmussen's result was that 49 of the

respondents

said they agreed strongly or somewhat

that the january 6 people are political

prisoners

let that sink in a little bit

half of the country

thinks we're holding

political prisoners

now i don't know if that's just a uh

like a political answer to a poll

because it might be you know people

answer polls the way they want politics

to bend

i'm not sure it's their actual opinion

that every person there is a political

prisoner but like i said i have that

opinion

even if the facts don't support it

like somehow my opinion is completely

divorced from many facts and i don't

care

i'm not i don't even know what that

means i don't know what that says about

me

what's it say about me that on this

topic i don't care if the facts support

my opinion

have you ever had that feeling

where you didn't care if the facts were

on your side it wasn't going to change

your opinion

it's a weird feeling it's one of those

times where you can feel your own

irrationality

all right i sent a tweet at uh joe

manchin today

i love the fact that i can tweet a

member of congress

and the odds that that member of

congress will see the tweet are actually

really good

is that weird

because you know and especially because

i have a lot of followers and i've got a

blue check

i'm pretty sure if you're a senator

you probably see all the blue check

tweets about yourself don't you because

it only takes you know a minute a day to

look at twitter

so i feel like he probably saw it

or will see it but here's what i tweeted

at uh joe manchin who as you know is in

control of everything because he's the

only senator who is willing to

vote against his own party when things

are evenly split so it gives them all

the power

and he's got the power for the uh the

infrastructure bill and i guess he's

also got the power

on some kind of a voting

access bill that the democrats also want

um so i tweeted this at him i said hey

senator joe manson

since you controlled congress now

how about getting us a law forcing

states to have instantly fully auditable

elections

including any software or hardware

components in addition to more voting

options so i don't have any problem with

voting options

um i'm certainly not going to be the the

person who says hey let's suppress the

hours people can vote or

suppress the way that they vote or

anything like that

not going to do that

but

i think we need the federal government

to force the states

to work towards some kind of instantly

instantly

see that's the key word

it has to be instant

we can't wait six months for a

audit like we are now it's got to be

instant

otherwise it's useless because we if

it's not instant you're still going to

install the public the politician

it's just sort of too late

so it's got to be instant and we could

totally do that right

and fully auditable meaning the software

the hardware and everything else now

what's the fastest way to do that

what's the fastest way to have an

instantly

auditable election

how long would it take

to make that happen

one programmer

one day

per state

one programmer

one day

that's the entire effort per state you

know one per state

there is a database that says you voted

is there not or or there should be

um

you should be able to just check your

vote

that's it

your vote

should be registered in the big database

in the sky

and as soon as you vote

you know wait five minutes or whatever

you should be able to hit an app

and they should tell you

what happened to your vote now you might

say yourself wait a minute id is the

problem right because you don't want a

person's identification

matched to their vote

how hard would it be to fix that

add five minutes

at five minutes

because you want to store in the

database a secret code that does

identify the person but only they can

unlock it

you know they've got the key so the

person who did the vote is the only

person who can identify their own vote

on the system because they've got the

matching key

how hard is that

all right now of course i'm exaggerating

it's not five minutes everything takes a

year but we should be working toward it

if you think it can be done

of course it can be done

of course it can

it's not i mean conceptually it's not

even difficult

i just told you how to do it

all you need

is for people to be able to track their

vote

now the only thing it would catch is

fake votes right

am i right the only thing you wouldn't

catch is a fake vote

but could you engineer a solution to

that

by

um

randomly querying people who voted

to find out if they're really the real

person

so you'd have to have two ways to look

one to make sure that if you are a real

person who voted that your vote got

registered the way you wanted it to

but secondly if there are votes that was

that are fake people

that you can randomly not all of them

but randomly you can query the real

person and say

your vote was registered did you vote

i feel like it's doable

and i think joe manchin might be the

only person who has enough power to make

it happen

stick that in there as a requirement

by 2024 you have to have a fully

auditable system or whatever

um there would be your golden age if we

could get that done

there's a video that i tweeted around

that i highly recommend just because

it's fun to watch in china they uh

demolished 15 skyscrapers at the same

time

and there's a video of a that looks like

maybe a city block or something so there

were 15 skyscrapers that they built but

never had any occupants for they didn't

finish them

so i guess they got

the basements got flooded and maybe they

became unsafe or something so it was no

longer practical to finish them

so they blew them up

now i guess this is not the first time

they've done massive multiple building

destructions they've done it in other

places where they're

clearing out buildings i think they've

done like 36 at one time

but watching 15 skyscrapers blow up at

the same time you know because they they

they blow up in a controlled explosion

so that they just sink into the dust

it's really cool

it's really cool so look on my twitter

feed it would be i just tweeted it this

morning so it's near the top and just

just to watch it for fun

uh

it's really kind of impressive

kind of impressive

well let's talk about the california uh

recall race the election is today or the

official election day

and

something very odd has happened

very odd

number one

well a few odd things

um

number one newsom said i think it was

yesterday

that a vote for larry elder

is a vote against diversity and racial

justice

that's right a vote against

who would be the first

black republican governor larry elder if

he if he wins

uh voting for him

to be the first

black republican governor of california

is a vote against diversity

it's against diversity

i don't even i don't know how you even

say that with a straight face

now apparently there is approved

diversity and unapproved diversity

and the type of diversity that larry

elder would bring is apparently

unapproved

the democrats do not approve of that

particular type of diversity

uh there's good diversity and bad

diversity and i guess he's got the bad

kind according to

newsome

but we've got this match and gasoline

situation happening with this california

recall

i don't feel that the mood of the voters

is up to revolution

mostly because democrats are going to be

i'm sorry republicans will be the

victims and they tend not to hit the

streets so much

but

there's something very bad going on

that could be coincidence or

something very bad is going on

i don't know which it is

but i'm open to the possibility it's

either one

so let me give you an example what's

going on here

you may know that the

polling for who's going to win or

whether or not the recall would be

successful the polling in august looked

like it was too close to call it was

like within one percent

what's the polling today

not even close newsome is going to win

like 57 if the

if the polling is accurate

now what happened between august and now

they would make it from a super tight

race

where it looked like elder would win

actually because of the trend line

to not even close

one month

in one month

it went from from too close to cult and

not even close somebody says his money

something about the way they campaigned

nope

it turns out that the explanation given

in the news today is that the august

polls were wrong

and it's because they worded the poll

wrong and they got the wrong result

now isn't that convenient

the

the the one race

that we think

not we i'll take myself out of it

the one race which many many republicans

think will be rigged

i'm not saying it will be i'm saying

that republicans are claiming that

that happens to be the same race

that the polls suspiciously went from

totally agreeing with republicans

to suddenly totally disagree

exactly the way you'd expect a rigged

poll

to come out

because what would be the problem if

the polls said it was super close

but the vote wasn't

because we were almost heading for a

really big problem weren't we

wouldn't it be a really big problem

if the polls said it should be close but

the vote said it wasn't

and people thought it was a rigged vote

republicans would take that as proof

but

suddenly

by coincidence

and by the way i'm only going to claim

it's a coincidence because i don't have

evidence of anything else

but as coincidences go

i don't think it could be worse

it's a coincidence of a match being

dropped in gasoline

because

if the polls are

and you already don't believe the vote

itself

your credibility

is just shot

and credibility is the only thing that

holds our system together

that's it

credibility you take the credibility

away and all full support unless you use

force

so

how many uh let's say irregularities are

happening in the vote well

if you're following dave rubin and you

should follow dave reuben on twitter

and also on locals

um he and a number of other people are

sort of uh you know getting into the the

details of what's happening there and

there's a lot of tweets in which people

are responding to what they've

personally observed

now it's all anecdotal

anecdotal means it doesn't mean it

necessarily represents a large trend

it's just people having specific

experiences and reporting them and you

don't even know if they're real people

right so

whatever credibility you want to put on

these next claims lower it a little bit

right now remember i've told you that

all election

fraud claims

if you looked at the whole body of all

claims made about all elections

everywhere all the time

at least in the united states

they're going to be wrong 95 of the time

right

so 95 of all election fraud claims at

least big ones big big claims turn out

to be wrong

at least 95 could be 100 but at least

95.

so keep that in mind

uh and when i tell you that there are

all kinds of reports of irregularities

in the california election

so you got people who got mailed uh

you know two ballots one for the person

who used to live there one for them

people got two ballots for one for their

maiden name and one for their old name

people who got ballots

and estate when they haven't been in the

state for a long time

and i won't go through all the examples

but it's just lots of examples

of people with a

specific

um

complaint

now

are those specific complaints enough or

even credible enough to imagine that

there's some massive problem going on i

don't see it yet

it looks like just a whole bunch of

individual complaints of various

credibility

but boy is it a red flag

if you're asking is

fraud proven i'd say no no there's no

fraud proven

and i don't see evidence that

necessarily will be proven

but damn there's a lot of questions

and can you have a system that doesn't

have credibility because there are so

many questions

and if joe manchin had done the job that

we'd love him to do

wouldn't we already have an election

where you'd say well there are lots of

irregularities but thank goodness you

can check to see if your vote got

registered correctly

you can't

all of these problems would go away it

wouldn't matter how many claims you

heard of irregularities as long as you

could check your own vote

you'd be pretty happy

yeah

uh

please provide data if you're 95

false claim

that's observational it's not based on

data so i observe over the years that if

you watch the claims and then you just

wait long enough to see if they get

proven or disproven

they're 95 of the time they'll be

disproven so that's that's exactly the

experience we had

with the 2020 election

i mean i haven't seen any that were

proven

but certainly were a lot of claims

all right um

and apparently there's one story that's

uh that

70 percent of the voters somewhere were

being turned away

because the system said they had already

voted

and then there was a claim that it was a

software problem

but then there was a clarification that

it was more about a

uh out of date poll book

i don't know what an a date the poll

book is or how that fit into the story

but let's say that they do know that was

a problem it turned out it was more like

a handful of people when they figured

out what the problem was they fixed it

i think it's been reported as a massive

problem

where it might have been just an

anecdotal thing that

one area screwed up a little bit

so i wouldn't be too worried about that

anyway

there there are massive

uh let's say reports of individual

problems but i haven't seen enough of

the same kind of problem to suggest

massive fraud

now

what are the odds

the republicans will believe there was

massive fraud in the california election

it's a hundred percent

because even uh even trump weighed in on

this and said uh

he said does anybody really believe that

the california recall election isn't

rigged

that's what trump asked

now he notice how cleverly he words it

if he claimed it was rigged

then he'd be in a little bit of trouble

but if he says does anybody anybody

believe it isn't rigged he's talking

about what you think

and that's fair

because that's a fair statement

he accurately is calling what we think

which is different from

knowing what is actually happening

um

so i don't know if anything's going to

blow up based on the result it does look

like newsome

might win unless there's massive

republican turnout which i suppose could

happen

here's a story that i've been noodling

about all day because i didn't think

this was true

but i googled and i think it is true

did you know that uh ice cream is highly

recommended for people with dementia

how many people do that

the ice cream specifically ice cream

is highly recommended for people with

dementia

apparently what it does is if you're uh

if your dementia is causing you to get

worked up and angry about stuff which is

you know the most common or one of the

most common side effects of having

dementia

apparently the ice cream just puts you

in a different head

it just as soon as you start eating the

ice cream your brain just says

ice cream and then you relax

and all of your your extra anger from

the dementia just

just seems to go away

now i didn't think this was a real thing

until i googled it and saw oh it's

actually recommended

now let's talk about joe biden

they literally send him out for ice

cream

and he loves his ice cream

yeah all right so i think this ice cream

thing

how can we ignore his dementia at this

point

it's like it's kind of obvious isn't it

kind of obvious

all right there's a lot of uh i see a

lot of chatter about personal choice and

and vaccines and some people saying you

know

whether or not the vaccinations are a

good idea or a bad idea it should be a

personal choice whether you take them

to which i say

no it never is

these things are just power

uh there are a lot of issues

that we act as though

um

we we act as though

if we made a better argument we could

win

but it's never about that the

vaccinations are about power

if the people who want everybody to get

vaccinated have more power than maybe

it'll happen

and if they don't have enough power it

won't happen

it has nothing to do with what's right

or wrong

we should just figure out who has more

power and just just go with that

let's talk about your balls

so the big story is that tucker carlson

did a segment uh talking about nicki

minaj's uh

uh tweet

in which uh nikki said that her

cousin's friend's uh testicles

swelled up after getting the vaccination

and it made him impotent not impotent

made him

unable to have children and

caused his planned wedding to be

cancelled now there are many funny

things about this story and i don't know

where to begin

number one as some doctors pointed out

uh nicki minaj i think you just outed

your cousin's friend for having

chlamydia

because that's what makes your balls

swell up

and

that may be

but

it made me wonder

what would be the side effect if if this

is actually a side effect of the

vaccination

now and let me remind you if a billion

people get a vaccination

someone in that billion people

is going to get swollen bubbles the next

day

not necessarily because of the

vaccination but if a billion people do

anything

somebody's going to have something

happen the next day

it doesn't matter what it is you'll have

every everything that could happen

somebody's going to have it

so the fact that one guy's balls got

bigger after a vaccination doesn't mean

it was caused by the vaccination

but on average wouldn't you expect

i don't know how they measure this

exactly because on average wouldn't you

expect that the people who did get the

vaccination

and were not afraid of it

on average wouldn't they have bigger

balls

because they're the ones who weren't

were not afraid of the vaccination

so

the people are not afraid

on average wouldn't they have bigger

balls

what no

doesn't work that way

don't hate me

it's just a joke

so um

uh there's the other funny thing is that

uh nicki minaj's cousin's friend with

the swollen testicles

um

he uh i know a little bit about him i

did some research turns out he wanted to

be famous

he wanted to be famous

um and by the way if you go over to the

locals platform you can see it fine

uh he wanted to be famous but uh he did

he fell a little short

so instead all right you i'll just

turn off youtube

um so he this guy with the swollen balls

wanted to be famous but only his balls

are

um

and so that

is the story of nicki minaj's cousin's

balls

now

if you wanted people to take the

vaccination and you want to persuade

them what would be a good way to do it

well one way to do it is to tell people

that coven itself would make your balls

shrink

if i heard that there was any chance at

all that covet

would make my balls shrink

what are the odds that i would go get

that vaccination

pretty good

pretty good

because

uh i would take a 100 chance of dying

but i wouldn't take a 100 chance of my

ball shrinking

am i right

now i know that's not logical i'm not

saying it's rational but men

men back me on this

you would take a one in 100 chance of

dying if it you know if it meant doing a

sport or doing something you like but

would you take a one in a hundred chance

of your ball shrinking

now you might not so persuasion-wise

yeah

persuasion-wise

uh telling people that covet would

shrink your balls

it's not true as far as letting them

know but if if you could tell people

that and make them believe it they'd

probably go get the shot

all right i gotta go do some other

things

and uh i

will talk to you later sorry about the

youtube thing

um

thorium doesn't need a water supply yeah

china's testing in the gobi desert

excellent

hope it works out and i will talk to you

all tomorrow
