Episode 2059 Scott Adams - Trump Rally, DeSantis LKS, AOC Supports TikTok, Ye & Jonah Hill, More Fun

dude good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization this is the place to be you know a lot of people have decided to be somewhere else not watching this live wow do we feel sorry for them we should yes feel terrible for them let me get that little wire out of your way there you go there you go now if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that only a Chinese weather balloon has ever seen all you need is a cover of my girl glass a tanker Chelsea's time a canteen jogger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure it's the dopamine the end of the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous it happens now seriously you just finished your coffee there's somebody on You.

Tube I mean we're just going to mock you over on the locals platform didn't time the coffee right over on You.

Tube well don't do that again you've been warned well the best and weirdest story of the day I guess this happened yesterday or the day before somehow I missed this story until just recently so yay it has commanded fighting with a post on Instagram I'm not making this up everything I say now about this story is actually true I'm actually this is real yay posted on Instagram watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like Jewish people again and then he goes on no one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred toward millions of innocent people and then he says no Christian can be labeled anti-semite knowing Jesus is Jew thank you Jonah Hill I love you is this is the craziest best thing he's done yet because now just just think about how you feel about it just release release yourself from you know the logic of it don't think of the story the details just just tell me how you feel about it it totally works this is the funny thing the funny thing is that we laugh at it because it's just so weird and yet it totally works in my opinion it would be hard to be mad at him after he said that because first of all he's saying no one should take anger so he's basically he's basically disavowing himself he's disavowing himself and he's giving this ridiculous reason why he's come to this conclusion and the reason that he's giving is so funny that you sort of believe it even though it couldn't possibly be true that it's the only thing that changed his mind but the fact that he went at it like this is kind to perfect and now I can't speak for the Jewish community and anybody who supports them for how they might feel about this but what do you really want from people what do you want from people if somebody had offended me or some group I'm with and then later came at me with this that Joni Hill you know cured him of hating my group and uh and then he says as clearly as possible no one should take anger about a few people in generalize it to Millions that's all you wanted to hear right that was literally exactly what you wanted him to say no you should not generalize it to people because you mattered a few I feel like he nailed it as silly as this is I think he actually nailed it we'll see we'll see I suppose it depends what he does after this but that could not be a more quirky perfect artistic the way to approach it I just love that all right what do you think is the biggest source of racism in the country Democrats climate change teachers unions Republicans it's Democrats right because all the other categories are Democrats right the the climate change pushers who want to get rid of your cheap energy that minorities would love to use um teachers unions mostly Democrats is basically Democrats so Democrats in their in their typical narcissistic way have created an entire philosophy around projection pretty much it's just projection so they're gigantic racists who only see the world through racial terms and they're trying to project that on everybody else and make everybody else the bad guy now I'm not saying there aren't any conservative racists of course there are but the fact that the Democrats have made it their main theme certainly makes race the uh the big issue now I want to push back on something that a lot of my audience says to me in various ways how many of you think that the election of Obama made race relations worse let me see your actions because if you trace if you trace the you know race relations line I think Gallup attracts it it looks like the election of Obama sure all right but do you blame Obama for that let's say the timing the timing does seem to be around the Obama election but do you blame Obama for that I'm saying mostly yes yes yes all right here I'm gonna I'm gonna do something you don't like at all I think that was entirely the right-leaning media that wasn't Obama I think if the right leading media had not made a racist kind of framing of him from the first moment you wouldn't have noticed that's right to me to me it looks like the media assigned um people the opinion that Obama was going to be bad for white people and then white people adopted that view and so I was watching you at the time and to me it looked like a massive psyop against Obama that that you know the whole uh I mean I actually talked to somebody during Obama's presidency in the middle of his presidency there was a republican who told me that it's a known fact that Obama is a Muslim and I said what and he said yeah I mean everybody knows he's and I said you mean like an actual practice a Muslim as in if you asked him he would say yes I'm a Muslim he said yes everybody knows he's a practicing Muslim now where do you get that this is somebody who followed you know right-leaning news it came to the conclusion that that Obama was a Muslim somebody says he is a Muslim there you go do you think that it's only the left that guess brainwashed by the news it's not it's not just the left yeah to me I think that Obama was a marker for you know he certainly marks the time that race race relations started to plummet but I think that was almost entirely because of the way the news handled it that's my opinion because you know I remember going through that period and thinking oh my God it's just every day something that's vaguely racially related or race scare or Obama's going to take away whatever white people like yeah to me when I tell you that the media assigns our opinions you don't think I only mean liberals right everybody's opinion is assigned not all of us you know I'm even saying it and I know that my opinions are probably coming from the media I mean I try as hard as I can to you know find some space between the media narratives and what I think but have you noticed how often I end up snapping into the meat into the narrative like everybody else it's almost irresistible to get pulled into you know one of the binaries so I'm sure it's happening to me I'd be surprised if it's not happening to all of you but keep that in mind that you may be getting your opinions more from the media than you think because that's how it works but let's talk about the race absurdity so we've clearly gotten to the point of race relations absurdity because the race grifters have been running the show for a while the race grifters or anybody who makes money complaining about race basically and here's the newest one CNN has an article about digital blackface so there's a complaint that white people have been using memes in which a black American is saying something that's you know witty or funny or something and it fits the story so a bunch of white people keep using these memes of black people now white people also use memes of white people I don't know if you knew that but memes actually have lots of different um representation but apparently if you're a white person and you use one that has a black person in it and I'm not saying these are insulting they just are memes yeah memes always make people look silly but it's not about you know race um and here let me explain why this is digital blackface according to CNN opinion piece digital blackface involves white people play acting and being black what if you send a meme around or you play acting or being black I was not aware of that rule I thought that a meme that featured a black American was like every other meme it was just a meme that's what I thought I didn't realize that I was play acting being black when I did it um this is from some cultural Clinic and the cultural critic says the internet thrives on white people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness don't we also laugh at exaggerated displays of Karens I've seen as many Karen videos as anything else I mean it's more about the people being interesting not anyway um reflecting a tendency among some to see quote black people as walking hyperbole is that a problem you know I woke up this morning and I thought you know I hope there's no big problems today and then I find out that white people are using memes and and therefore seeing black people as walking hyperbole have we run out of problems are we completely out of problems they're sending memes around that are not your own race is mocking people for being walking hyperbole I mean you have to try really hard to make that racist you got to try really hard but I guess they succeeded I saw a tweet for you Christopher Ruffo rufo uh it was a black mother who was doing a very forceful denunciation of ethnic studies curriculum in Minnesota and her complaint was that it was teaching black kids that their obstacles you know racism obstacles so she was worried that it gave them the idea that they can't succeed because it was telling them through all these obstacles and she would rather have her children and other black kids I guess be told that they can succeed which is pretty smart then she went on too far it started out great I was going to Tweet this thing I was like oh finally somebody who can actually see what's good for Black America is black so maybe somebody will listen to her and is making a real good point and I was like ah yes that's it that's exactly what I want to say and then she went and father further and said quote I can see why you white proponents of this bill might support it it's not your kids being told they can't succeed and you get to shed some of your white guilt in the process okay so it turns out she's a huge racist but she's not wrong about the messages sentenced to black kids I think she's right about that Jesus happens to be a racist um do you believe that white people are why the ethnic studies are being taught in school now I do believe that probably in this particular school there might be more white people and therefore they might be the majority that are voting for it right but let me ask you this if the black population of this same area in Minnesota if the black population did not want ethnic studies do you think that the white people would be pushing it no no you do want it no we don't want it no you really do no no so even though the white people are the ones doing all the promoting and voting and you know they they might have control of the levers of power they wouldn't do it unless there was a demand for it so here she is blaming the white people for doing trying to do something that obviously they think is for the benefit of black people but the important thing here is that it's a white people's fault that's the important part and I'm glad that This Racist mother finally got to the important part that somehow it's still white people's fault that's that's that's the key the key factor here well speaking on more ridiculous race related things the association of American medical colleges had some data on different ethnicities getting into medical school now I had heard for a long time that Asian Americans were being suppressed and discriminated against and I think there was a lawsuit that they won they showed that but I didn't know how bad it was did you have any idea how bad it is that the best Asian-American student has the same chance of getting into medical school as the worst blackston it's the same what now when I say the worst these are all people who are within the range of getting into medical school right so the worst person who gets into the middle school school is going to be smarter than the average person but there's a huge difference now as someone tweeted it feels like they're trying to make you a racist I mean let's be honest here if you knew that one group of people was getting in with lower qualifications than the other on average on average averages do not apply to any individual but do you interview your doctor do you say well this is just a first interview if if things don't go well I'm going to talk to a few other doctors some of you do some of you do but would you actually know how to judge your doctor's qualifications based on one the conversation because if if they have a degree from the same school what do you know about them nothing you don't know anything about them how many of you think that it would be let's say morally suspect but wise to discriminate in choosing a doctor how many think it would be to your best interest although we don't like to discriminate I'm not recommending it how many think it would be to your best interest to discriminate wildly in choosing a doctor given these this data yeah it's mostly yeses of course now nobody can recommend discrimination but I would give you this following guide if it's something about let's say hiring hiring and firing you should really judge the individual you really shouldn't if it's life and death though you should do whatever you need to stay safe would you agree if it's life and death discriminate all you want it's not even illegal would you go into a neighborhood that looked dangerous statistically or would you say well I'm going to judge all the individuals in that neighborhood individually no you say that looks like a dangerous neighbor it'll stay out of it so yeah I do think that if you're not discriminating for your own well-being you're not doing it right Scott doesn't know what discriminate means pretty sure I do that's like the dumbest comment I've seen forever all right so that was disturbing that there's such a difference all right um there was a trump rally in Waco and the the Trump rally as the news likes to tell us is in the shadow of his many legal problems his many illegal problems so shall we summarize Trump's many legal problems yeah there are four of them and oh boy oh boy the walls are closing in there's a Stormy Daniels thing that even Mario Cuomo the ex-governor of New York says quote I think it's all politics and that's why I think the people of this country are saying Cuomo continued it just feeds that anger in that cynicism and the partisanship Cuomo continues it's a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump that's all a coincidence I think it feeds the citizens and that's the cancer in our body politic right now if you can't convince Mario Cuomo that this that the Stormy Daniels thing is real even Mario Cuomo very Democrat says no this it's not real it's just political all three of them all three of them so uh the Georgia find the votes do you really think there's any chance that Trump is in legal trouble for saying fine votes no you don't have to be your dershowitz to Know You couldn't possibly prosecute them for using the words of find votes you know the news is trying to say is he pressured he did all this thing but when you come down to it you have to look at what he said and what he said does not indicate a crime so there's no risk in that the January 6 protest protests peacefully he's been looked into completely there's nothing there there's no prosecution that's going to happen there how about those Mar-A-Lago documents well it's a little awkward now that Joe Biden has some documents isn't it so there are four legal problems for Trump and all four of them help him all four of them help him because there's no way he's getting prosecuted for any of this or or if it is it would be a misdemeanor or something and all it does is uh as Mario Cuomo says accurately it just feeds the anger and cynicism do you think that has anything to do with why his Waco rally was huge very successful Waco rally apparently yeah I feel like these these attacks on Trump are making him stronger at the moment I also feel that the only reason that De.

Santis was looking so good is that Trump was removing himself from the news for so long have you noticed that the moment Trump you know gets close to powering up like he's he's just starting to power up into full strength as soon as he does De.

Santis disappears doesn't he and I mean I mean in terms of the wattage you know just the energy like Trump is just infinitely interesting they love him or hate him he's interesting and De.

Santis I try to be interesting I try to be interested in them but I have to work at it would you agree I want this sentence to be interesting do I have to uh to kind of put a little effort into finding out what he's up to but with Trump it's like yeah I do support Trump entertain me like I'm just automatically drawn to that energy and it doesn't have to do with policy it's not about policy because I don't you know I don't have something a big difference in policy between the two of them that that's uh animated me right now well so I would say that if Trump just stays healthy and doesn't create some new some new uh issue he should Waltz right into the nomination what do you think yeah now I'm still I'm still endorsing the Vivek rava Swami because I think we need somebody younger and I think that Trump is insanely uh divisive now he's divisive not because of what he says exactly but because of the way the Democrats are going to treat him so Trump is divisive the same way Obama was you put Obama in office and you know Fox News is going to go crazy on him for eight years you put Trump in office you know CNN MSNBC you're going to go crazy on it for eight years but I don't know that that would be different with anybody else maybe less wattage you know De.

Santis would be more of a boring muted attack or something but it's I think we're at the point where it's going to be full-scale war no matter whether it's a democrat or a republican probably doesn't matter all right um Trump is getting some pushback because he's saying that if he gets come if he gets uh indicted or arrested for this uh Stormy Daniels stuff that there could be what is known by all that no crime has been committed talking about the Stormy Daniels payments and also known the potential death and destruction destruction is such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country so Trump is basically saying that his supporters might turn to death and destruction if he's charged that's not ideal is it that's not ideal but you know what else it's also honest it's hard for me to get uh like I want to not like this because it seems so unproductive but I can't fault him for being honest there is a risk of death and destruction and I I don't mean and I certainly don't mean that to be any kind of like warning or anything like that I'm just saying it as a objective fact it's probably true now I don't think it'd be massive you know you use this hyperbole but I think there could be trouble um and the trouble would be because the charges would be so obviously political as Mario Cuomo points out everybody can see his political so do you want to live in the country where uh let me ask you this would you be happier living in the country where Trump could be arrested on a obviously false charge to take him off and there would be no there would be no violence no violence is that the country you want to live in that that somebody can be taken off the field for obviously not legal means obviously not legal now I think you want to live in a country where violence is on the table I don't recommend it do not recommend it I want to be as clear as possible do not recommend violence but I don't want to live in a country where it's not on the table so I'm going to say this on the table it's just on the table I don't recommend it but let's not kid ourselves if you take down the president on bogus charges that are obviously bogus yeah there could be some violence and I don't want to live in a country where that's not true at the same time I don't want any violence all right I don't know if you noticed that uh Trump is jumping on the build more comments that desantises the tribute band you may remember I told you that once you hear that De.

Santis is the tribute band that's like a kill shot I was wondering how long it would take Trump to you know repeat that didn't take him long he was on it yeah so he's uh he's definitely echoing that trivia bad thing yeah I was quoting Bill Maher which makes it stronger um so if you're wondering if Trump still has that Keen political Instinct that got him to be president the first time well this would be one indication yes yeah it's not it's not everything but we do see the spark of uh having basically a higher gear than the people he's competing against that's what I see um so an article by Julie Kelly in American greatness and I was not up to date on how many FBI agents have been outed in various operations but apparently the proud boys involvement in January 6.

according to this Julie Kelly story was almost entirely set up by the FBI so here's what we know the leader of the proud boys was not there on January 6.

right the leader wasn't there which tells me it wasn't coming from leadership it was coming from somewhere else now we know that apparently there was a map I think a map found with the proud boys that would show sort of an angle of attack for the capital and if you thought that the proud boys had a map for an Insurrection and having had to get to the vulnerable parts of the capital Did you know that that came from the FBI there was an FBI map the FBI was giving it to the proud boys like that that's in the news I mean I think it's true I don't trust the news anymore but I think it's true now when you hear stuff like that and I don't think there are any proud boys were there any proud boys that got picked up for violence none of them were armed they weren't armed so more and more it looks like January 6 was you know an FBI operation some kind of an OP and more and more it looks like the Democrats are um basically a criminal organization at this point they are a criminal organization I think you could use a RICO law to take down all the Democrats at this point like actually like actually literally couldn't you is there any lawyer who can tell me I feel like the the the collusion that's been used against Trump should be a RICO violation right because they're acting like a criminal organization they're not acting like a political organization they're they're actually committing crimes under an organized umbrella of associations that's Rico right sovereign immunity do individuals have sovereign immunity I don't think a member of the intelligence agency have sovereign immunity I'm talking about you know I mean maybe that maybe Congress has some immunity but there's still enough people as part of the operation yeah who would charge him yeah that's a problem Rico is just politics State actors have immunity well what is a state actor if you're an elected official you have immunity or probably an appointed official right but what if you're uh what if you're just working for a paycheck or you're a political pundit on TV or you're the news because I think you could find a web of Ricoh type connections with members of the media employees of the Department of Justice employees of the FBI are they all immune yeah I don't think they have immunity for illegal actions do they they probably have only immunity for civil suits would that be true because yeah if you if you do a criminal thing it doesn't matter if you're elected that's the whole point of the stuff against Trump all right they're immune from you know they're not immune from criminal law okay well in my opinion is going to the level where it looks like just a criminal organization that's not hyperbole I don't intend that to be hyper I think the Democrats have actually reached the level collectively that it looks like a RICO case to me now I don't think there's any chance of that happening but um I don't I don't see them as just a political party anymore think about all the things that Republicans have been blamed of blamed for mostly they're blamed for crimes that didn't happen you know obviously there are lots of lower level officials of all types who get convicted for everything so I'm not talking about the you know the state official you heard about that one time but in in National politics it seems to me the Republicans have not committed any major crimes I guess you'd count you know people like uh Michael Cohen or something but are they political I guess they are sort of yeah to me it looks like um one is a criminal organization the other's not all right AOC came out against Banning Tick Tock uh would you like to know the reasons that she gave for wanting to not ban tick tock all right here's AOC she looked into it and the reason she gave our I'll just summarize them I don't understand anything about the topic that's my summary summarization of her reasons her reasons showed she didn't understand the topic at all she actually ignored the influence part of it where where China can just decide how to influence us by tweaking acting like that didn't exist now what if I told you about the people who act like the big risk the influence part is is the it doesn't exist and they act like the data security part is real and then they take it to the next level of obviously either lying or bought off which is they say well other other American companies have you know data problems so why why would we be racist against China so imagine if you will that in public she's acting like an American company should be treated the same as an adversarial country China acts like there's no difference between our own country and an adversary country that what is that now I can't even tell if that's stupid or just bought off I mean nobody would be that stupid right except that there are a number of politicians who are acting exactly that stupid and I really can't tell if they think the data security problem is the big problem and they just don't know the other one is there or are they lying are they lie so here's my take on Tick Tock a hundred percent of the people who can explain the risk want to ban it a hundred percent of the people who can explain the risk want to ban it in other words if you see somebody say well well there are two risks one is they get a private data correct correct and the other is that they can influence our opinions through the algorithm correct there's nobody here's here's my claim nobody who can even explain the risks is in favor of keeping Tick Tock nobody you won't see it everybody who is in favor of of keeping Tick Tock will be unable to explain the situation and they'll say stuff like well Facebook has your data too if you say Facebook has your data too you are either stupid you know so uninformed that I think I'd have to call you stupid or you're lying you're lying because you think it's good for your I don't know your politics or something yeah or both yeah she could be stupid and lying that's true yeah mahad are you really saying that Facebook has your data too I can't tell if that's a joke oh my god there are people on You.

Tube saying what's the difference between Facebook having your data in China I want to see you say that out loud say in the con I want to see a how stupid you are ask me what's the difference between an American company having your data and the and a Chinese adversarial company ask it again well I want to see you put that in writing go ahead there it is Facebook is as bad as China there's somebody willing to say that out loud in public the Facebook is as bad as China are you are you a Chinese troll I mean nobody with a brain could think that all right so um here's a question for you has AOC ever been in favor of a policy that wasn't good for China now I don't know the answer to this but I'll say so AOC is big for climate change which is mostly good for China bad for the United States did she oppose uh tariffs did AOC oppose tariffs on China because because Trump's the first one who brought it up so I feel like she probably did yeah is she in favor of ESG which is terrible for America yes yep yeah I don't think there's anything that she's in favor of that isn't good for China and bad for America has anybody not noticed that am I the only one who's noticed that all of her policies are pro-china and anti-American it's a little bit hard to to miss the pattern at this point that's a preview pattern well uh Professor Scott Galloway was on Real Time with Bill Maher and Tick Tock came up and I like to call Scott Galloway one of the better Scots I keep track of all the people named Scott you know in case one's a murderer yes it was a Scott Peterson was it Scott Peterson who killed his wife that's a bad Scott so you have some bad Scots you got some good ones so Scott Galloway he's he's right in the he's at least in the top five of Scots he might even be in the top three he's an excellent Scott he does a very good Scott and I'm happy to have him on board um but when he was asked about Tick Tock he accurately described the risk he accurately said would you want something jacked into your brain where your adversary could push a button and change your opinion because that's what you have that's what Tick Tock is it means effectively jacked into your brain and China can push one button and change your opinion they can do that now the way he put it was even better than I put it which is they can they can make sure that every day their app makes Americans feel a little bit shittier about their life what's that do to your country every day you feel a little bit shittier about yourself and your country yeah that's what it's doing right now now given that that Scott Galloway one of the better Scots could accurately describe the risk what side do you think he was on well I think I broadcast that everybody who can accurately describe the risk is on the same side everybody who's either lying to you about the risk or leaving it out they could be on the other side it's that simple and you could actually do this test I'd love to see somebody like a Matt Gates or Thomas Massey do this if they have some kind of thing say you know I've discovered that anybody who can describe the risk is against it can you describe the risk in your own words can you describe the risk and then when they failed to do it say are you not aware of the biggest risk all right did you actually come prepared for this this hearing you're all prepared and you're here and you don't know the biggest risk of tick tock that it's the persuasion not the data how in the world could you come here and not know the biggest risk I'd love to see that all right uh as you know AI is going to change everything you know that all of your apps are going to be obsolete in about a year right dating apps might be an exception because you need an audience of people on both sides it's not just the app you need the audience but your phone is just going to be you telling you what you want it doesn't I don't even think it needs software it just needs to connect I mean except minimal software to connect to AI because correct me if I'm wrong if if I had a on AI on my phone and let's say it was a phone designed around the AI interface so I can either type in a message or I can say it but if I want to make a spreadsheet and the only software I had was AI don't you think I could already say to it all right create a spreadsheet and uh I'm going to start putting some numbers into it or I put 200 into the top of that column you don't you don't think you could just talk to it and it would form a spreadsheet without ever having any spreadsheet software natively in it I think it would it would just have to look at what a spreadsheet is and then just make it itself on the Fly yeah so I suppose you wanted to send somebody a message the old way is you're typing your message and you've got typos and bad grammar and all that the new way is going to be uh aai send a email to Bob tell them I'm sorry I missed the meeting and then AI would make up a more polite version of sorry I missed the meeting and you would never even look at it you just say go send it all right so here's why I mentioned that it's not because the the future is fun it's that every one of your tech companies is obsolete did you guys see that coming it might be the the most existential problem in the country right now meaning the one that could kill you the fastest is that 100 of the economy that depends on having all these different apps and softwares it might all be obsolete in a year all of it it could be that only Hardware is what we sell after a year from now because software is just AI and AI will do everything so you don't need other software yeah here's how I want to post to Twitter a uh AI send a tweet out says something like this post it to all my social networks and then I just posts all the social networks I never have to put in a password imagine not having to use passwords because the AI knows who you are because I don't think the AI would ever be surprised you know the AIS listen to your voice it might be looking at your face it knows the patterns that you type your AI would know if you were a fake right away so does it ever need any kind of credentials do you ever have to put in a password my bank already uses my voice but I guess that's going to be dicey because you can fake voices now you just use your face for your password yet so I think it's no passwords just faces Biometrics and no apps just AI yeah we can't even imagine what this is going to be when when the experts say you can't imagine what's what's going to happen like really soon you really really can't imagine it is literally Beyond imagination and I don't think we've ever been here before because even when the internet was formed there's this famous video of um uh David Bowie you know when the Internet is just formed David Bowie is saying you have no idea what this is going to do it's going to like connect everything and everything will be different so David Bowie could see it you know 20 years before it happened but I think everybody could see that with the internet the internet's sort of easy to understand it's just oh everybody's connected like that's an easy concept and as long as you know everybody's connected you can kind of you know Intuit what that might look like but you cannot you cannot into it what AI is going to do I have no idea and when you combine AI with uh robots and when you combine AI with virtual reality imagine entering a virtual reality world so it looks looks real and the people that you meet there are fully sentient and all of your conversations feel like real people remember you imagine having a real friend in the virtual world that has no human connection they are just AI but they get to know you intimately and over time they're more and more personal and they say more and more of the things you'd like to hear fewer the things you don't like to hear and you just fall in love that's a hundred percent gonna happen 100 percent guarantee it all right um do you keep seeing these uh horrible videos of people in the Congo and various parts of Africa mining for these Rare Earth minerals and it's just this big dirty pit with people who recovered Head To Toe with you know the whatever the dirt is that they're digging through and I saw one yesterday there was a you know a Cobalt mind you and some people were being dug out that there's been a collapse but they got them out and everybody's cheering and stuff I had I had two takes on that video number one I looked at it it looked like the saddest worst you know criminally dangerous situation I've ever seen in my life and then I heard the people cheering all happily and laughing when they they got their co-workers out from under a collapse and I thought to myself have you ever done have you ever studied the theory of happiness and the people have this Baseline happiness that even if you have an amputation you know a month later you go back to your Baseline of happiness I wonder if the people there were substantially less happy than somebody who was just like say low income living somewhere else I don't know there's something about the story that isn't tracking with me which is why would so many people do it if it were not their best option I mean isn't isn't there other option worse you're saying they're doing it for the pay because there's nothing else that would get paid well that's my point if the other option is you don't get money then they think it's their best option even if it's unhealthy so I don't know how to how to think of something where it's their best option but here's the point I'm going to everything that they're doing did you ever see like a like a video of all the it's like just thousands of people like Milling around in this big dirty hole have you ever just tracked any one of them just look at one of them they're not doing anything most of them are standing there with a shovel and looking at somebody else it's like 99 out of 100 of them are doing absolutely nothing they're just Milling around I don't know why but is this not the perfect situation for robots why are there any humans in those holes in the first place what is it that the human can do that the robot can't do Sarah says in all caps Scott thought kovid would collapse the civilization LOL Sarah you know that never happened right are you having an episode Sarah you okay you should see somebody about that you have some kind of disease that's making you shout in all caps things which only you remember but never happened that that's something you should look into yeah if you start shouting in all caps a memory of something that didn't happen to the person who knows it didn't happen there's something wrong you need to seek help so go go take care of that right away all right well anyway I think we could uh we could mine Rare Earth minerals if we used machines to do it I think if we use machines we could do it even in the U.S safely I think all right um were you expecting it when the Ukraine war kicked off weren't you expecting the Russians to use their Advanced cyber capabilities to to take down all the networks in Ukraine and then it sort of didn't happen yeah they had a few easy wins that apparently were not lasting and like here's the uh I guess the takeaway from this turns out it's really hard to conduct a Cyber attack that's the takeaway well it turns out it's really hard so Russia tried as much as they could but well it turns out it's hard could couldn't pull it off did we did we miscalculate everything about Russia did Russia actually have a paper military and a paper cyber ability because you know what else we overestimated do you remember when we said Russia interfered with the 2016 elections and then we looked into their valuable memes from their troll Farm and they spent a hundred thousand dollars on some memes that weren't even all in the same direction some of them were like pro-hillary some were pro-chomp and and then you saw the quality of the memes that looked like they were made by high school kids with no persuasive anything so we know we know Russia can't do memes they can't influence an election even if they tried they can't do cyber attacks too well and their military is kind of lame so maybe we're wrong about everything you ever think about it maybe just everything's wrong and we're no closer to nuclear war yeah now in my opinion we're not closer to nuclear war not even a little bit because nobody wants it the minimum requirement for a nuclear war is that somebody wants it and we have exactly zero people who want it or are crazy nobody nobody and as the Wall Street Journal in an opinion piece said today I think that's what it was um Putin does have an escape he has an Escape Route if he had no Escape Route that'd be different but he actually can just say oh we got what we wanted we kept Crimea and we you know maybe kept them from entering NATO or something so he could he could definitely negotiate from this point and get something he didn't mind keeping as long as NATO stayed out of Ukraine so yeah you could just you could just negotiate anytime he wants now there's one theory that I'm not going to endorse but the idea is that Russia would run out of uh Fighters before Ukraine now the argument goes that even though Russia has more people and would be willing to throw more fodder at it forever that the ukrainians are never going to quit because it's their Homeland so no matter how few there are left and no matter how irregular the Army and no matter if they have to turn it into a guerrilla War the ukrainians will keep fighting I don't know I'm not sure that's true but that's a that's a current opinion of somebody uh Sarah is yelling in all caps again something that didn't happen lol Scott thinks Ukraine is winning really sort of the opposite of what I just said Sarah you can't tell what's happening over there so Sarah you need medical help I'm going to hide you on this channel so that you'll be yelling at yourself from now on but that's just a cry for help I think you need some medical attention here all right so cyber war is hard um let me ask you if any of you are having this problem do you find that it's harder and harder to interact with people who still believe the news is real have you had that problem every time I talk to somebody who says something they heard it on the news and I think really you still don't know the news is made up because I think people think that people still think that it's only the news from the other side that's made up no no it's all of it all the news about public figures and politics is made up let me say as clearly as possible all of the news all of the news about public figures and politics is made up and what I mean by made up is usually in the early stages the facts are wrong you know the source wasn't real the thing they the thing somebody quoted didn't really happen right so in the beginning stories are just wrong on the facts but they're always wrong in the context they're always wrong in the context always there's not a single story I've never met anybody involved with the story who is willing to say yeah that's they got that story right never it's not even a thing and when I meet people who think that the news is still sometimes correct I don't know what to do with it anymore because I used to argue well if you'd read this Source or check this Source but I know that doesn't make any difference so here's what I've decided on and it seems to disarm people I show empathy for them being victimized by the news I just say I'm sorry the news did this to you and I'm never going to have a conversation with somebody who thinks the news is telling them anything useful that would be the biggest waste of time you should start your conversation with this do you believe the news is real if they say yes or they say well if you do your own research or you watch your own things just walk away as long as somebody thinks that the news on one side is real and the other side is not real you can have a conversation with that person they the minimum requirement for an honest conversation is both sides both sides of the news are presenting narrative which is not real it's just a narrative yeah I treat them as somebody who's been victimized by the Press yeah as Mark Twain said if you don't read the newspaper you're uninformed if you do read it you're misinformed exactly I hate when I just recreate what uh Mark Twain figured out 100 years ago Democrats voted against the parents right bill yeah all right uh reframed and reframe Vivek is Dave Chappelle showing up unannounced that's funny have I ever gotten the Mark Twain award no that's for a much higher profile people I'm not high enough profile to win an award like that Oscar Wilde says the real news is in a year old paper yeah one to five years is how long it takes the news come out Mexican cartels I'm not sure that the tick tock CA CEO brought Mexican cartels with them have you ever won a Pulitzer no I don't want to Pulitzer my God the Pulitzer is a completely discredited award how many pulitzers did the did the New York Times get for the fake news about Russia collusion now no Pulitzer is is a sign that you're uh a political operative at this point unless it's non-fiction unless it's fiction no I I would not want to Pulitzer there was a time when I wanted one because I thought that would be a good War to have in my line of work but at the moment I would just be embarrassed if I had one it would just be kind of embarrassing um Liberty says we could not match Russia in a continental War are you Russian you sound like a Russian agent because I don't think anybody believes what you just said you don't think you the Russian forces apparently would last about 25 minutes if they attacked the United States unless they use nukes I don't even know if their nukes work if I ever saw a man who wanted a Pulitzer and Scott Adams says a mind reader if I don't win it's not worth winning the Mind readers are out I'm getting mind read quite a bit if I can't win no you don't win unless you apply did you know that you can't win a Pulitzer unless you submit for it if I were trying to win I would be submitting but you don't see me doing that I do not submit my work for the Pulitzer um oh you're joking okay you're forgetting their allies no I'm not all right yeah I wanted I wanted Pulitzer until I found out how they were awarded but more they're awarded just you know the small group of people it's just their opinion so it doesn't have any any real weight if five people decide that you should get a Pulitzer who are those five people oh I won the prestigious random five people award what's that five randomly chosen uh judges for your category and they changed the judges around you know every year I think uh oh Trump gave out fake news Awards daily wire is increasingly sneaky anti-trump Scott is not sneaky okay oh um I realized that uh I should have turned my i.

Pad upside down so there's a step that remember I told you that every step you add to the process increases the rate the chances of failure by like 25 percent any any little change increases your risk of getting wrong and one of the things I had to add was I have to flip the i.

Pad over right before I go live and when locals didn't work and I had to redo it and re-up the app and stuff I lost that part of the process so the camera is up here where is it supposed to be down in this corner down here and then I would be looking here to see both of the cameras in the same place um Garden flag yet I don't know what that is Mark Twain never won the Mark Twain award that's funny um could you inform your audience about Biden's bringing Tick Tock back at least tell me I'm wrong uh well I don't know what you're talking about because nobody brought Tick Tock back it's always been here do you have a clear view when Scott is looking at which stream can can you tell that I'm looking at the locals comments right now so this is what my eyes look like when I'm looking at the locals comments this is my eyes when I'm looking at the You.

Tube comments all right that's all I got for today and You.

Tube I'm gonna say see you later thanks for joining I'll talk to you tomorrow

dude

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome

to the highlight of civilization this is

the place to be you know a lot of people

have decided to be somewhere else not

watching this live

wow do we feel sorry for them we should

yes feel terrible for them

let me get that little wire out of your

way there you go there you go

now if you'd like to take your

experience up to levels that only a

Chinese weather balloon has ever seen

all you need is a cover of my girl glass

a tanker Chelsea's time a canteen jogger

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee and

join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure it's the dopamine the end of

the day the thing makes everything

better

it's called the simultaneous

it happens now

seriously you just finished your coffee

there's somebody on YouTube I mean we're

just going to mock you over on the

locals platform

didn't time the coffee right over on

YouTube

well don't do that again

you've been warned

well the best and weirdest story of the

day

I guess this happened yesterday or the

day before somehow I missed this story

until just recently

so yay it has commanded fighting

with a post on Instagram I'm not making

this up

everything I say now about this story is

actually true

I'm actually this is real

yay posted on Instagram watching Jonah

Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like

Jewish people again

and then he goes on no one should take

anger against one or two individuals and

transform that into hatred toward

millions of innocent people

and then he says no Christian can be

labeled anti-semite knowing Jesus is Jew

thank you Jonah Hill I love you

is

this is the craziest best thing he's

done yet

because now just just think about how

you feel about it

just release release yourself from you

know the logic of it don't think of the

story the details just just tell me how

you feel about it

it totally works

this is the funny thing the funny thing

is that we laugh at it because it's just

so weird

and yet it totally works

in my opinion it would be hard to be mad

at him after he said that

because first of all he's saying no one

should take anger so he's basically

he's basically disavowing himself

he's disavowing himself and he's giving

this ridiculous reason why he's come to

this conclusion

and the reason that he's giving is so

funny

that you sort of believe it

even though it couldn't possibly be true

that it's the only thing that changed

his mind but the fact that he went at it

like this

is kind to perfect

and now I can't speak for the Jewish

community and anybody who supports them

for how they might feel about this but

what do you really want from people

what do you want from people

if somebody had offended me or some

group I'm with and then later came at me

with this that Joni Hill you know cured

him of hating my group and uh and then

he says as clearly as possible no one

should take anger

about a few people in generalize it to

Millions that's all you wanted to hear

right

that was literally exactly what you

wanted him to say no you should not

generalize it to people because you

mattered a few

I feel like he nailed it

as silly as this is I think he actually

nailed it

we'll see we'll see I suppose it depends

what he does after this but that could

not be a more quirky perfect artistic

the way to approach it I just love that

all right

what do you think is the biggest source

of racism in the country

Democrats climate change teachers unions

Republicans

it's Democrats right

because all the other categories are

Democrats

right the the climate change pushers who

want to get rid of your cheap energy

that

minorities would love to use

um teachers unions mostly Democrats is

basically Democrats so Democrats in

their in their typical narcissistic way

have created an entire philosophy around

projection

pretty much it's just projection so

they're gigantic racists

who only see the world through racial

terms and they're trying to project that

on everybody else and make everybody

else the bad guy now I'm not saying

there aren't any

conservative racists of course there are

but the fact that the Democrats have

made it their main theme certainly makes

race the uh the big issue now I want to

push back on something that a lot of my

audience says to me in various ways

how many of you think that the election

of Obama made race relations worse

let me see your actions

because if you trace if you trace the

you know race relations line I think

Gallup attracts it it looks like the

election of Obama

sure all right but do you blame Obama

for that let's say the timing the timing

does seem to be

around the Obama election but do you

blame Obama for that

I'm saying mostly yes yes yes all right

here I'm gonna I'm gonna do something

you don't like at all

I think that was entirely the

right-leaning media that wasn't Obama

I think if the right leading media had

not made a racist

kind of framing of him from the first

moment you wouldn't have noticed

that's right to me to me it looks like

the media assigned um

people the opinion that

Obama was going to be bad for white

people and then white people adopted

that view

and so I was watching you at the time

and to me it looked like a massive psyop

against Obama

that that you know the whole uh

I mean I actually talked to somebody

during Obama's presidency in the middle

of his presidency

there was a republican who told me that

it's a known fact that Obama is a Muslim

and I said what

and he said yeah I mean everybody knows

he's and I said you mean like an actual

practice a Muslim as in if you asked him

he would say yes I'm a Muslim he said

yes

everybody knows he's a practicing Muslim

now where do you get that

this is somebody who followed you know

right-leaning news it came to the

conclusion that that Obama was a Muslim

somebody says he is a Muslim there you

go do you think that it's only the left

that guess brainwashed by the news

it's not it's not just the left

yeah to me I think that Obama was a

marker

for you know he certainly marks the time

that race race relations started to

plummet but I think that was almost

entirely because of the way the news

handled it that's my opinion because you

know I remember going through that

period

and thinking oh my God it's just every

day

something that's vaguely racially

related or race scare or Obama's going

to take away whatever white people like

yeah to me

when I tell you that the media assigns

our opinions you don't think I only mean

liberals right

everybody's opinion is assigned not all

of us you know I'm even saying it and I

know that my opinions are probably

coming from the media I mean I try as

hard as I can to you know find some

space between the media narratives and

what I think but have you noticed how

often I end up snapping into the meat

into the narrative like everybody else

it's almost irresistible

to get pulled into you know one of the

binaries

so I'm sure it's happening to me I'd be

surprised if it's not happening to all

of you

but keep that in mind that you may be

getting your opinions more from the

media than you think because that's how

it works

but let's talk about the race absurdity

so we've clearly gotten to the point of

race relations absurdity

because the race grifters have been

running the show for a while the race

grifters or anybody who makes money

complaining about race basically

and

here's the newest one CNN has an article

about digital blackface

so there's a complaint that white people

have been using memes in which a black

American is saying something that's you

know witty or funny or something and it

fits the story

so a bunch of white people keep using

these memes of black people

now white people also use memes of white

people I don't know if you knew that but

memes actually have lots of different

um representation

but apparently if you're a white person

and you use one that has a black person

in it and I'm not saying these are

insulting they just are memes yeah memes

always make people look silly but it's

not about you know race

um and here let me explain why this is

digital blackface

according to CNN opinion piece digital

blackface involves white people play

acting and being black

what

if you send a meme around or you play

acting or being black

I was not aware of that rule I thought

that a meme that featured a black

American was

like every other meme it was just a meme

that's what I thought I didn't realize

that I was play acting being black when

I did it

um

this is from some cultural Clinic

and the cultural critic says the

internet thrives on white people

laughing at exaggerated displays of

Blackness

don't we also laugh at exaggerated

displays of Karens

I've seen as many Karen videos

as anything else I mean

it's more about the people being

interesting not anyway

um

reflecting a tendency among some to see

quote black people as walking hyperbole

is that a problem

you know I woke up this morning and I

thought you know I hope there's no big

problems today and then I find out that

white people are using memes and

and therefore seeing black people as

walking hyperbole

have we run out of problems

are we completely out of problems

they're sending memes around that are

not your own race is mocking people

for being walking hyperbole I mean you

have to try really hard to make that

racist you got to try really hard but I

guess they succeeded

I saw a tweet for you Christopher Ruffo

rufo uh it was a black mother who was

doing a very forceful denunciation of

ethnic studies curriculum in Minnesota

and her complaint was that it was

teaching black kids that their obstacles

you know racism obstacles so she was

worried that it gave them the idea that

they can't succeed

because it was telling them through all

these obstacles and she would rather

have her children and other black kids I

guess be told that they can succeed

which is pretty smart

then she went on too far

it started out great I was going to

Tweet this thing I was like oh finally

somebody who can actually see what's

good for Black America

is black so maybe somebody will listen

to her and is making a real good point

and I was like ah yes that's it that's

exactly what I want to say

and then she went and father further and

said quote

I can see why you white proponents of

this bill might support it it's not your

kids being told they can't succeed and

you get to shed some of your white guilt

in the process

okay so it turns out she's a huge racist

but she's not wrong

about the messages sentenced to black

kids I think she's right about that

Jesus happens to be a racist

um do you believe that white people are

why the ethnic studies are being taught

in school

now I do believe that probably in this

particular school there might be more

white people and therefore they might be

the majority that are voting for it

right but let me ask you this if the

black population of this same area in

Minnesota if the black population did

not want ethnic studies do you think

that the white people would be pushing

it no no you do want it no we don't want

it no you really do no no so even though

the white people are the ones doing all

the promoting and voting and you know

they they might have control of the

levers of power

they wouldn't do it

unless there was a demand for it

so here she is blaming the white people

for doing trying to do something that

obviously they think is for the benefit

of black people but the important thing

here is that it's a white people's fault

that's the important part

and I'm glad that This Racist mother

finally got to the important part that

somehow it's still white people's fault

that's that's that's the key

the key factor here

well speaking on more ridiculous race

related things the association of

American medical colleges

had some data on

different ethnicities getting into

medical school now I had heard for a

long time

that Asian Americans were being

suppressed

and discriminated against and I think

there was a lawsuit that they won they

showed that but I didn't know how bad it

was

did you have any idea how bad it is

that the best Asian-American student has

the same chance of getting into medical

school as the worst blackston

it's the same

what

now when I say the worst these are all

people who are within the range of

getting into medical school right so the

worst person who gets into the middle

school school is going to be smarter

than the average person

but

there's a huge difference

now as someone tweeted

it feels like they're trying to make you

a racist

I mean let's be honest here

if you knew that one group of people was

getting in with lower qualifications

than the other on average

on average averages do not apply to any

individual

but do you interview your doctor

do you say well this is just a first

interview

if if things don't go well I'm going to

talk to a few other doctors some of you

do some of you do but would you actually

know how to judge your doctor's

qualifications based on one

the conversation

because if if they have a degree from

the same school what do you know about

them nothing you don't know anything

about them

how many of you think that it would be

let's say

morally suspect but wise to discriminate

in choosing a doctor how many think it

would be to your best interest although

we don't like to discriminate

I'm not recommending it how many think

it would be to your best interest to

discriminate wildly in choosing a doctor

given these this data yeah it's mostly

yeses of course

now

nobody can recommend discrimination

but I would give you this following

guide

if it's something about let's say hiring

hiring and firing

you should really judge the individual

you really shouldn't if it's life and

death though

you should do whatever you need to stay

safe

would you agree if it's life and death

discriminate all you want

it's not even illegal

would you go into a neighborhood that

looked dangerous statistically

or would you say well I'm going to judge

all the individuals in that neighborhood

individually

no you say that looks like a dangerous

neighbor it'll stay out of it

so

yeah I do think that if you're not

discriminating for your own well-being

you're not doing it right

Scott doesn't know what discriminate

means

pretty sure I do that's like the dumbest

comment I've seen

forever

all right

so that was disturbing

that there's such a difference

all right um

there was a trump rally in Waco

and the the Trump rally as the news

likes to tell us is in the shadow of his

many legal problems his many illegal

problems so shall we summarize Trump's

many legal problems yeah there are four

of them and oh boy oh boy the walls are

closing in there's a Stormy Daniels

thing that even Mario Cuomo the

ex-governor of New York says quote I

think it's all politics and that's why I

think the people of this country are

saying Cuomo continued it just feeds

that anger in that cynicism and the

partisanship Cuomo continues it's a

coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump

and Tish James goes after Trump and

Georgia goes after Trump that's all a

coincidence I think it feeds the

citizens and that's the cancer in our

body politic right now if you can't

convince Mario Cuomo

that this that the Stormy Daniels thing

is real even Mario Cuomo

very Democrat says no this it's not real

it's just political all three of them

all three of them so uh the Georgia find

the votes do you really think there's

any chance that Trump is in legal

trouble for saying fine votes

no you don't have to be your dershowitz

to Know You couldn't possibly prosecute

them for using the words of find votes

you know the news is trying to say is he

pressured he did all this thing but when

you come down to it you have to look at

what he said

and what he said does not indicate a

crime so there's no risk in that the

January 6 protest protests peacefully

he's been looked into completely there's

nothing there there's no prosecution

that's going to happen there how about

those Mar-A-Lago documents

well it's a little awkward now that Joe

Biden has some documents isn't it

so there are four legal problems for

Trump and all four of them help him

all four of them help him because

there's no way he's getting prosecuted

for any of this or or if it is it would

be a misdemeanor or something and

all it does is uh as Mario Cuomo says

accurately it just feeds the anger and

cynicism

do you think that has anything to do

with why his Waco rally was huge very

successful Waco rally apparently

yeah I feel like these these attacks on

Trump are making him stronger at the

moment

I also feel that the only reason that

DeSantis was looking so good

is that Trump was removing himself from

the news for so long

have you noticed that the moment Trump

you know gets close to powering up like

he's he's just starting to power up into

full strength as soon as he does

DeSantis disappears

doesn't he and I mean I mean in terms of

the wattage you know just the energy

like Trump is just

infinitely interesting they love him or

hate him he's interesting and DeSantis

I try to be interesting I try to be

interested in them but I have to work at

it would you agree

I want this sentence to be interesting

do I have to uh to kind of put a little

effort into finding out what he's up to

but with Trump it's like yeah I do

support Trump entertain me like I'm just

automatically drawn to that energy and

it doesn't have to do with policy it's

not about policy because I don't you

know I don't have something a big

difference in policy between the two of

them that that's uh animated me right

now

well

so I would say that if Trump just stays

healthy and doesn't create some new

some new uh issue he should Waltz right

into the nomination what do you think

yeah now I'm still I'm still endorsing

the Vivek

rava Swami because I think we need

somebody younger and I think that Trump

is insanely uh divisive

now he's divisive not because of what he

says exactly but because of the way the

Democrats are going to treat him so

Trump is divisive the same way Obama was

you put Obama in office and you know Fox

News is going to go crazy on him for

eight years

you put Trump in office you know CNN

MSNBC you're going to go crazy on it for

eight years but I don't know that that

would be different with anybody else

maybe less wattage you know DeSantis

would be more of a boring muted attack

or something

but it's I think we're at the point

where it's going to be full-scale war no

matter whether it's a democrat or a

republican probably doesn't matter

all right

um

Trump is getting some pushback because

he's saying that if he gets come if he

gets uh indicted or arrested for this uh

Stormy Daniels stuff

that there could be what is known by all

that no crime has been committed talking

about the Stormy Daniels payments and

also known the potential death and

destruction destruction is such a false

charge could be catastrophic for our

country so Trump is basically saying

that his supporters might turn to death

and destruction if he's charged

that's not ideal is it

that's not ideal

but you know what else it's also honest

it's hard for me to get uh like I want

to not like this

because it seems so unproductive

but I can't fault him for being honest

there is a risk of death and destruction

and I I don't mean and I certainly don't

mean that to be any kind of like warning

or anything like that I'm just saying it

as a objective fact it's probably true

now I don't think it'd be massive

you know you use this hyperbole but I

think there could be trouble

um and the trouble would be

because the charges would be so

obviously political as Mario Cuomo

points out everybody can see his

political

so do you want to live in the country

where

uh let me ask you this would you be

happier living in the country where

Trump could be arrested on a obviously

false charge to take him off and there

would be no there would be no violence

no violence

is that the country you want to live in

that that somebody can be taken off the

field for obviously not legal means

obviously not legal now I think you want

to live in a country where violence is

on the table

I don't recommend it

do not recommend it I want to be as

clear as possible do not recommend

violence but I don't want to live in a

country where it's not on the table

so I'm going to say this on the table

it's just on the table I don't recommend

it

but let's not kid ourselves if you take

down the president on bogus charges that

are obviously bogus yeah there could be

some violence

and I don't want to live in a country

where that's not true

at the same time I don't want any

violence

all right

I don't know if you noticed that uh

Trump is

jumping on the build more comments that

desantises the tribute band

you may remember I told you that once

you hear that DeSantis is the tribute

band

that's like a kill shot

I was wondering how long it would take

Trump to

you know repeat that didn't take him

long he was on it yeah so he's uh

he's definitely echoing that trivia bad

thing yeah I was quoting Bill Maher

which makes it stronger

um

so

if you're wondering if Trump still has

that Keen political Instinct that got

him to be president the first time

well this would be one indication yes

yeah it's not it's not everything

but we do see the spark of uh having

basically a higher gear than the people

he's competing against that's what I see

um so an article by Julie Kelly in

American greatness

and I was not up to date on how many FBI

agents have been outed in various

operations but apparently the proud boys

involvement in January 6. according to

this Julie Kelly story was almost

entirely set up by the FBI

so here's what we know the leader of the

proud boys was not there on January 6.

right the leader wasn't there

which tells me it wasn't coming from

leadership

it was coming from somewhere else now we

know that apparently there was a map

I think a map found with the proud boys

that would show sort of an angle of

attack for the capital and if you

thought that the proud boys had a map

for an Insurrection and having had to

get to the vulnerable parts of the

capital Did you know that that came from

the FBI

there was an FBI map the FBI was giving

it to the proud boys

like that that's in the news I mean I

think it's true I don't trust the news

anymore but I think it's true

now when you hear stuff like that

and I don't think there are any proud

boys were there any proud boys that got

picked up for violence none of them were

armed they weren't armed

so more and more it looks like January 6

was you know an FBI operation some kind

of an OP

and more and more it looks like the

Democrats are

um basically a criminal organization at

this point

they are a criminal organization

I think you could use a RICO law to take

down all the Democrats at this point

like actually

like actually literally

couldn't you is there any lawyer who can

tell me I feel like the the the

collusion

that's been used against Trump

should be a RICO violation right because

they're acting like a criminal

organization

they're not acting like a political

organization they're they're actually

committing crimes

under an organized umbrella of

associations

that's Rico right

sovereign immunity

do individuals have sovereign immunity

I don't think a member of the

intelligence agency have sovereign

immunity

I'm talking about

you know I mean maybe that maybe

Congress has some immunity but there's

still enough people as part of the

operation

yeah who would charge him yeah that's a

problem

Rico is just politics

State actors have immunity

well what is a state actor

if you're an elected official you have

immunity or probably an appointed

official right but what if you're uh

what if you're just working for a

paycheck or you're a political pundit on

TV or you're the news

because I think you could find a web of

Ricoh type connections

with members of the media

employees of the Department of Justice

employees of the FBI

are they all immune

yeah I don't think they have immunity

for illegal actions do they

they probably have only immunity for

civil suits would that be true

because yeah if you if you do a criminal

thing it doesn't matter if you're

elected that's the whole point of the

stuff against Trump

all right

they're immune from you know they're not

immune from criminal law

okay well

in my opinion is going to the level

where it looks like just a criminal

organization

that's not hyperbole

I don't intend that to be hyper I think

the Democrats have actually reached the

level collectively that it looks like a

RICO case to me

now I don't think there's any chance of

that happening but

um I don't I don't see them as just a

political party anymore

think about all the things that

Republicans have been blamed of

blamed for

mostly they're blamed for crimes that

didn't happen

you know obviously there are lots of

lower level officials of all types who

get convicted for everything so I'm not

talking about the you know the state

official you heard about that one time

but in in National politics

it seems to me the Republicans have not

committed any major crimes

I guess you'd count you know people like

uh

Michael Cohen or something but are they

political I guess they are sort of

yeah to me it looks like

um one is a criminal organization the

other's not

all right AOC came out against Banning

Tick Tock uh would you like to know the

reasons that she gave

for wanting to not ban tick tock

all right here's AOC she looked into it

and the reason she gave our I'll just

summarize them I don't understand

anything about the topic

that's my summary summarization of her

reasons her reasons showed she didn't

understand the topic at all she actually

ignored the influence part of it where

where China can just decide how to

influence us by

tweaking acting like that didn't exist

now what if I told you about the people

who act like the big risk the influence

part is

is the

it doesn't exist and they act like the

data security part is real and then they

take it to the next level of obviously

either lying or bought off which is they

say well other other American companies

have you know data problems

so why why would we be racist against

China

so imagine if you will that in public

she's acting like an American company

should be treated the same as an

adversarial country China

acts like there's no difference between

our own country and an adversary country

that what is that now I can't even tell

if that's stupid or just bought off

I mean nobody would be that stupid right

except that there are a number of

politicians who are acting exactly that

stupid

and I really can't tell if they think

the data security problem is the big

problem

and they just don't know the other one

is there or are they lying

are they lie

so here's my take on Tick Tock a hundred

percent of the people who can explain

the risk

want to ban it

a hundred percent of the people who can

explain the risk want to ban it in other

words if you see somebody say well well

there are two risks one is they get a

private data correct correct and the

other is that they can influence our

opinions through the algorithm correct

there's nobody here's here's my claim

nobody who can even explain the risks

is in favor of keeping Tick Tock nobody

you won't see it

everybody who is in favor of of keeping

Tick Tock will be unable to explain the

situation and they'll say stuff like

well Facebook has your data too

if you say Facebook has your data too

you are either stupid

you know so uninformed that I think I'd

have to call you stupid or you're lying

you're lying because you think it's good

for your I don't know your politics or

something

yeah or both yeah she could be stupid

and lying that's true

yeah

mahad are you really saying that

Facebook has your data too

I can't tell if that's a joke

oh my god there are people on YouTube

saying what's the difference between

Facebook having your data in China

I want to see you say that out loud

say in the con I want to see a how

stupid you are ask me what's the

difference between an American company

having your data and the and a Chinese

adversarial company ask it again well I

want to see you put that in writing go

ahead

there it is Facebook is as bad as China

there's somebody willing to say that out

loud in public the Facebook is as bad as

China

are you

are you a Chinese troll

I mean nobody with a brain could think

that

all right

so

um here's a question for you has AOC

ever been in favor of a policy that

wasn't good for China

now I don't know the answer to this but

I'll say so AOC is big for climate

change which is mostly good for China

bad for the United States

did she oppose uh tariffs

did AOC oppose tariffs on China

because because Trump's the first one

who brought it up so I feel like she

probably did

yeah is she in favor of ESG which is

terrible for America yes

yep

yeah I don't think there's anything that

she's in favor of that isn't good for

China and bad for America

has anybody not noticed that

am I the only one who's noticed that all

of her policies are pro-china and

anti-American

it's a little bit hard to to miss the

pattern at this point

that's a preview pattern

well uh Professor Scott Galloway was on

Real Time with Bill Maher and Tick Tock

came up and

I like to call Scott Galloway one of the

better Scots

I keep track of all the people named

Scott

you know in case one's a murderer

yes it was a Scott Peterson was it Scott

Peterson who killed his wife

that's a bad Scott

so you have some bad Scots

you got some good ones

so Scott Galloway he's he's right in the

he's at least in the top five of Scots

he might even be in the top three he's

an excellent Scott he does a very good

Scott

and I'm happy to have him on board

um but when he was asked about Tick Tock

he accurately described the risk

he accurately said would you want

something jacked into your brain where

your adversary could push a button and

change your opinion because that's what

you have

that's what Tick Tock is it means

effectively jacked into your brain and

China can push one button and change

your opinion they can do that now the

way he put it was even better than I put

it which is they can they can make sure

that every day their app makes Americans

feel a little bit shittier about their

life

what's that do to your country

every day you feel a little bit shittier

about yourself and your country

yeah that's what it's doing right now

now given that that Scott Galloway one

of the better Scots

could accurately describe the risk what

side do you think he was on

well I think I broadcast that everybody

who can accurately describe the risk is

on the same side

everybody

who's either lying to you about the risk

or leaving it out

they could be on the other side

it's that simple and you could actually

do this test I'd love to see somebody

like a Matt Gates or Thomas Massey do

this if they have some kind of thing say

you know I've discovered that anybody

who can describe the risk is against it

can you describe the risk in your own

words can you describe the risk and then

when they failed to do it say are you

not aware of the biggest risk all right

did you actually come prepared for this

this hearing you're all prepared and

you're here and you don't know the

biggest risk of tick tock that it's the

persuasion not the data

how in the world could you come here and

not know the biggest risk

I'd love to see that

all right uh

as you know AI is going to change

everything

you know that all of your apps are going

to be obsolete in about a year right

dating apps might be an exception

because you need an audience of people

on both sides it's not just the app you

need the audience but

your phone is just going to be you

telling you what you want

it doesn't I don't even think it needs

software it just needs to connect I mean

except minimal software to connect to AI

because

correct me if I'm wrong

if if I had a on AI on my phone and

let's say it was a phone designed around

the AI interface so I can either type in

a message or I can say it but if I want

to make a spreadsheet

and the only software I had was AI

don't you think I could already say to

it all right create a spreadsheet and uh

I'm going to start putting some numbers

into it or I put 200 into the top of

that column

you don't you don't think you could just

talk to it and it would form a

spreadsheet

without ever having any spreadsheet

software natively in it

I think it would

it would just have to look at what a

spreadsheet is and then just make it

itself on the Fly

yeah

so I suppose you wanted to send somebody

a message

the old way is you're typing your

message and you've got typos and bad

grammar and all that the new way is

going to be

uh aai

send a email to Bob tell them I'm sorry

I missed the meeting

and then AI would make up a more polite

version of sorry I missed the meeting

and you would never even look at it you

just say go send it

all right

so

here's why I mentioned that it's not

because the the future is fun it's that

every one of your tech companies is

obsolete

did you guys see that coming it might be

the the most existential problem in the

country right now

meaning the one that could kill you the

fastest is that 100 of the economy that

depends on having all these different

apps and softwares it might all be

obsolete in a year

all of it

it could be that only Hardware is what

we sell after a year from now because

software is just AI

and AI will do everything

so you don't need other software

yeah here's how I want to post to

Twitter

a uh AI send a tweet out says something

like this post it to all my social

networks

and then I just posts all the social

networks

I never have to put in a password

imagine not having to use passwords

because the AI knows who you are

because I don't think the AI would ever

be surprised you know the AIS listen to

your voice it might be looking at your

face it knows the patterns that you type

your AI would know if you were a fake

right away

so does it ever need any kind of

credentials do you ever have to put in a

password

my bank already uses my voice but I

guess that's going to be dicey because

you can fake voices now

you just use your face for your password

yet

so

I think it's no passwords just faces

Biometrics and no apps just AI

yeah we can't even imagine what this is

going to be

when when the experts say you can't

imagine what's what's going to happen

like really soon you really really can't

imagine it is literally Beyond

imagination and I don't think we've ever

been here before because even when the

internet was formed there's this famous

video of

um

uh David Bowie

you know when the Internet is just

formed David Bowie is saying you have no

idea what this is going to do it's going

to like connect everything and

everything will be different so David

Bowie could see it you know 20 years

before it happened

but I think everybody could see that

with the internet the internet's sort of

easy to understand it's just oh

everybody's connected

like that's an easy concept and as long

as you know everybody's connected you

can kind of you know Intuit

what that might look like but you cannot

you cannot

into it what AI is going to do

I have no idea and when you combine AI

with uh robots and when you combine AI

with virtual reality imagine entering a

virtual reality world so it looks looks

real and the people that you meet there

are fully sentient

and all of your conversations feel like

real people remember you imagine having

a real friend in the virtual world

that has no human connection they are

just AI but they get to know you

intimately and over time they're more

and more personal and they say more and

more of the things you'd like to hear

fewer the things you don't like to hear

and you just fall in love

that's a hundred percent gonna happen

100 percent

guarantee it

all right

um do you keep seeing these uh horrible

videos of people in the Congo and

various parts of Africa mining for these

Rare Earth minerals and it's just this

big dirty pit with people who recovered

Head To Toe with you know the whatever

the dirt is that they're digging through

and I saw one yesterday there was a you

know

a Cobalt mind you and some people were

being dug out that there's been a

collapse but they got them out and

everybody's cheering and stuff I had I

had two takes on that video number one

I looked at it it looked like the

saddest worst

you know criminally dangerous situation

I've ever seen in my life

and then I heard the people cheering

all happily and laughing when they they

got their co-workers out from under a

collapse

and I thought to myself have you ever

done have you ever studied the theory of

happiness

and the people have this Baseline

happiness that even if you have an

amputation you know a month later you go

back to your Baseline of happiness

I wonder if the people there were

substantially less happy

than somebody who was just like say low

income living somewhere else

I don't know

there's something about the story that

isn't tracking with me

which is why would so many people do it

if it were not their best option

I mean isn't isn't there other option

worse

you're saying they're doing it for the

pay because there's nothing else that

would get paid well that's my point if

the other option is you don't get money

then they think it's their best option

even if it's unhealthy

so I don't know how to how to think of

something where it's their best option

but here's the point I'm going to

everything that they're doing

did you ever see like a like a video of

all the it's like just thousands of

people like Milling around in this big

dirty hole

have you ever just tracked any one of

them

just look at one of them

they're not doing anything

most of them are standing there with a

shovel

and looking at somebody else

it's like 99 out of 100 of them are

doing absolutely nothing they're just

Milling around I don't know why

but is this not the perfect situation

for robots

why are there any humans in those holes

in the first place

what is it that the human can do that

the robot can't do

Sarah says in all caps Scott thought

kovid would collapse the civilization

LOL

Sarah you know that never happened right

are you having an episode

Sarah you okay

you should see somebody about that you

have some kind of disease that's making

you shout in all caps things which only

you remember but never happened

that that's something you should look

into

yeah if you start shouting in all caps a

memory of something that didn't happen

to the person who knows it didn't happen

there's something wrong you need to seek

help so go go take care of that right

away

all right well anyway I think we could

uh we could mine Rare Earth minerals if

we used machines to do it

I think if we use machines

we could do it even in the U.S safely I

think

all right

um

were you expecting it when the Ukraine

war kicked off weren't you expecting the

Russians to use their Advanced cyber

capabilities to

to take down all the networks in Ukraine

and then it sort of didn't happen

yeah they had a few easy wins that

apparently were not lasting

and like here's the uh I guess the

takeaway from this

turns out it's really hard to conduct a

Cyber attack

that's the takeaway

well it turns out it's really hard

so Russia tried as much as they could

but well it turns out it's hard

could couldn't pull it off

did we

did we miscalculate everything about

Russia

did Russia actually have a paper

military and a paper cyber ability

because you know what else we

overestimated do you remember when we

said Russia interfered with the 2016

elections and then we looked into their

valuable memes from their troll Farm

and they spent a hundred thousand

dollars on some memes that weren't even

all in the same direction some of them

were like pro-hillary some were

pro-chomp

and and then you saw the quality of the

memes that looked like they were made by

high school kids with no persuasive

anything

so we know we know Russia can't do memes

they can't influence an election even if

they tried

they can't do cyber attacks too well

and their military is kind of lame

so maybe we're wrong about everything

you ever think about it maybe just

everything's wrong and we're no closer

to nuclear war

yeah now in my opinion we're not closer

to nuclear war not even a little bit

because nobody wants it the minimum

requirement for a nuclear war is that

somebody wants it

and we have exactly zero people

who want it or are crazy nobody nobody

and as the Wall Street Journal in an

opinion piece said today

I think that's what it was

um Putin does have an escape he has an

Escape Route if he had no Escape Route

that'd be different but he actually can

just say oh we got what we wanted we

kept Crimea and we you know maybe kept

them from entering NATO or something so

he could he could definitely negotiate

from this point and get something he

didn't mind keeping

as long as NATO stayed out of Ukraine

so yeah you could just you could just

negotiate anytime he wants now there's

one theory that I'm not going to endorse

but the idea is that Russia would run

out of uh Fighters before Ukraine

now the argument goes that even though

Russia has more people and would be

willing to throw more fodder at it

forever that the ukrainians are never

going to quit because it's their

Homeland so no matter how few there are

left and no matter how irregular the

Army and no matter if they have to turn

it into a guerrilla War

the ukrainians will keep fighting

I don't know I'm not sure that's true

but that's a that's a current opinion of

somebody

uh Sarah is yelling in all caps again

something that didn't happen lol Scott

thinks Ukraine is winning really sort of

the opposite of what I just said Sarah

you can't tell what's happening over

there

so Sarah you need medical help I'm going

to hide you on this channel so that

you'll be yelling at yourself from now

on

but that's just a cry for help I think

you need some medical attention here

all right

so cyber war is hard

um

let me ask you if any of you are having

this problem

do you find that it's harder and harder

to interact with people who still

believe the news is real

have you had that problem

every time I talk to somebody who says

something they heard it on the news and

I think

really

you still don't know the news is made up

because I think people think that people

still think that it's only the news from

the other side that's made up

no

no it's all of it all the news about

public figures and politics is made up

let me say as clearly as possible all of

the news all of the news about public

figures and politics is made up and what

I mean by made up is usually in the

early stages the facts are wrong

you know the source wasn't real the

thing they the thing somebody quoted

didn't really happen right so in the

beginning stories are just wrong on the

facts but they're always wrong in the

context

they're always wrong in the context

always

there's not a single story I've never

met anybody involved with the story

who is willing to say yeah that's they

got that story right never it's not even

a thing and when I meet people who think

that the news is still sometimes correct

I don't know what to do with it anymore

because I used to argue well if you'd

read this Source or check this Source

but I know that doesn't make any

difference

so here's what I've

decided on and it seems to disarm people

I show empathy for them being

victimized by the news

I just say I'm sorry the news did this

to you

and I'm never going to have a

conversation with somebody who thinks

the news is telling them anything useful

that would be the biggest waste of time

you should start your conversation with

this do you believe the news is real

if they say yes or they say well if you

do your own research or you watch your

own things just walk away

as long as somebody thinks that the news

on one side is real and the other side

is not real

you can have a conversation with that

person they the minimum requirement for

an honest conversation is both sides

both sides of the news are presenting

narrative

which is not real it's just a narrative

yeah I treat them as somebody who's been

victimized by the Press

yeah as Mark Twain said if you don't

read the newspaper you're uninformed if

you do read it you're misinformed

exactly I hate when I just recreate what

uh Mark Twain figured out 100 years ago

Democrats voted against the parents

right bill yeah

all right uh reframed and reframe

Vivek is Dave Chappelle showing up

unannounced

that's funny

have I ever gotten the Mark Twain award

no that's for a much higher profile

people

I'm not high enough profile to win an

award like that

Oscar Wilde says the real news is in a

year old paper yeah one to five years is

how long it takes the news

come out

Mexican cartels I'm not sure that the

tick tock CA CEO brought Mexican cartels

with them

have you ever won a Pulitzer no I don't

want to Pulitzer my God

the Pulitzer is a completely discredited

award

how many pulitzers did the did the New

York Times get for the fake news about

Russia collusion now no Pulitzer is is a

sign that you're uh

a political operative at this point

unless it's non-fiction unless it's

fiction

no I I would not want to Pulitzer there

was a time when I wanted one because I

thought that would be a good War to have

in my line of work but at the moment I

would just be embarrassed if I had one

it would just be kind of embarrassing

um

Liberty says we could not match Russia

in a continental War are you Russian

you sound like a Russian agent because I

don't think anybody believes what you

just said

you don't think you the Russian forces

apparently would last about 25 minutes

if they attacked the United States

unless they use nukes I don't even know

if their nukes work

if I ever saw a man who wanted a

Pulitzer and Scott Adams says a mind

reader

if I don't win it's not worth winning

the Mind readers are out

I'm getting mind read quite a bit

if I can't win

no you don't win unless you apply did

you know that you can't win a Pulitzer

unless you submit for it

if I were trying to win I would be

submitting

but you don't see me doing that I do not

submit my work for the Pulitzer

um

oh you're joking okay

you're forgetting their allies no I'm

not

all right

yeah I wanted I wanted Pulitzer until I

found out how they were awarded but more

they're awarded just you know the small

group of people it's just their opinion

so it doesn't have any any real weight

if five people decide that you should

get a Pulitzer who are those five people

oh I won the prestigious random five

people award

what's that

five randomly chosen uh judges for your

category

and they changed the judges around you

know every year I think

uh

oh Trump gave out fake news Awards

daily wire is increasingly sneaky

anti-trump Scott is not sneaky

okay

oh

um

I realized that uh

I should have turned my iPad upside down

so there's a step that remember I told

you that every step you add to the

process increases the rate the chances

of failure by like 25 percent

any any little change increases your

risk of getting wrong and one of the

things I had to add was I have to flip

the iPad over right before I go live

and

when locals didn't work

and I had to redo it and re-up the app

and stuff I lost that part of the

process so

the camera is up here

where is it supposed to be down in this

corner down here

and then I would be looking here to see

both of the cameras in the same place

um

Garden flag yet I don't know what that

is

Mark Twain never won the Mark Twain

award

that's funny

um

could you inform your audience about

Biden's bringing Tick Tock back at least

tell me I'm wrong

uh well I don't know what you're talking

about

because nobody brought Tick Tock back

it's always been here

do you have a clear view when Scott is

looking at which stream can can you tell

that I'm looking at the locals comments

right now

so this is what my eyes look like when

I'm looking at the locals comments

this is my eyes when I'm looking at the

YouTube comments

all right that's all I got for today and

YouTube I'm gonna say see you later

thanks for joining

I'll talk to you tomorrow
