Episode 2093 Scott Adams - Musk & Maher, AI Does Drunk Kamala, CO2 Eating Microbes, AI Doctors, More

do do good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time and if you'd like your experience to be the kind that you'll talk about to your grandkids grandkids I mean you'll probably live forever so that's going to work out for you all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass a tanker chalices dying a canteen jogger flask a vessel of any kind fill in with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure it's a dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip go ah so good well if you were if you were a subscriber to the locals Channel scottadams.locals.com you would be seeing the new Dilbert comics called Dilbert Reborn and I can't I can't show you the edgiest ones so you just have to trust me that they're edgier than the one I'm going to show you right now but here's what I can show you and by the way this would never be allowed in newspapers right it's going to be fine on You.

Tube like You.

Tube is going to be fine with it but newspapers would have had a problem so it's the boss he's at a meeting and he's got a Dilbert on one side and engineer Dave on the other and uh here's what it looks like and uh I'll read it to you so you don't have to read it just see the setting and the boss says leadership has decided to lower our hiring standards to increase diversity as quickly as possible then Dave who's the black engineer in the group says won't that make people think I was not qualified when you hired me and the boss says yes but it's also bad for the rest of us then Dave says okay as long as it's equitable so that's something I couldn't have done in a car in a com in a newspaper but uh having a lot of fun with it uh behind a subscription site and of course the edge of your comic is robots read news my other comic which is always edgier all right I would like to nominate two words for disgrace can we disgrace words so if anybody uses either of these words you should just laugh at them like ha ha you've used the disgraced words that means you're not even a serious person are you ready here are the two disgraced words in political commentary rant and obsessed if you hear somebody say that somebody else ranted the person who used the word you should just mock them I'm sure they ranted didn't they did they rant or did they simply talk which did they do did they rant was it ranting or was it just sort of talking they're not obsessed hey here's a here's a story about uh Disney and De.

Santis why are you so obsessed with Disney versus De.

Santis why are you obsessed with it no no no you are you you're using one of those words obsessed or rant as soon as you hear those words right away those are not serious people all right how many of you have seen the uh AI I assume it's AI generated fake Kamala uh drunken Kamala video If you haven't I'm going to call it up and show it to you right now because it might be one of the funniest things you'll see in a long time all right bear with me well I use my low Tech to find it um well speaking of low Tech I've got one of those phones that uh doesn't seem to want to produce anything oh my God all my technology is broken today so I'd like to give you uh here's my demonstration of watching Hulu last night so I went to watch Hulu looked a lot like nothing um but then this morning I went to watch uh Bill Maher talking to Elon Musk so I opened up my HBO app and and here it is here's what my HBO app looks like so this is Hulu HBO and Twitter on my phone they all look the same now just a nothing why I don't know I have no idea why but the last several days no website works on my devices so I'm going to reboot my phone and that Jesus I tell you how many times a day is there some basic technology that just simply doesn't work for you is it just me it's not just me right I mean ordinary stuff like your car won't start your your phone just doesn't work you try to get out an app they use all the time it just doesn't work is that your experience because all day long I'm just solving technical problems all day long so yeah the last time I don't even remember the last time I successfully opened a streaming app and watched something do you know how hard I worked trying to watch The Bill Maher musk interview I never got to see it I couldn't find any technology that would just show us streaming video now obviously I know how to use technology I'm literally streaming on two devices right now I don't think it's me I think there's some weird thing happening and and yesterday there was like almost every website I went to just seemed broken did that happen to you yesterday what was yesterday a day when all kinds of websites were broken or was that just me I don't know all right I guess it was just me so uh there's a new obesity drug oh great so now big Pharma has found a way to battle big food so big food is killing you with food that makes you fat the big farmer big Pharma found a drug that will save you from the big food now I'm I'm just guessing that that won't be the healthiest thing for you I can't believe it's I guess it's a diabetes drug it's the second time there's been a second time there's been a different kind of diabetes drug that had a secondary use that would help you lose weight and apparently it works yeah the the initial reports are it totally works is that the worst thing you've ever heard now humans can eat as much crap as they want and they won't get fat as long as they have another drug in their body now I would think that the nutritional risk from eating foods that would normally make you fat but somehow you found a way not to make you fat it's not as empic is the older one there's actually a newer better one so the one you're thinking of that was a diabetes drug that is secondary use for losing weight this is the third one of those there's two of them that use the same drug and then this is a new one that was just announced today so it's not it's not the Eurozone all right what's it called some other name doesn't matter I I hate everything about this like on on one hand it feels like it should be this great breakthrough that's going to help the obese but it feels like it's going to make it worse does anybody get that feeling that if you could take a drug that would allow you to eat like a glutton all day long and not not gain weight or does it not work that way oh I think maybe it makes you not hungry is that what it does does it oh it's an appetite suppressant okay so maybe that's even I don't know is that better or is that worse if you suppress your appetite what kind of food are you likely to eat healthy food that doesn't taste great or if you have a suppressed appetite or you'd be drawn to sugary food here's what you need you need you need a drug that only makes you not want to eat too much sugary stuff that's all you need you you want to think you want a drug that keeps you just as hungry as always but if you see a piece of cake you just go the cake and if you see uh something like a piece of broccoli you go broccoli gotta get me some broccoli uh so anyway that's happened there is here's some good news from science there's a microbe that eats CO2 now it's not the first time you've heard of that right there's always some kind of Little Critter that's eating CO2 but nothing comes of it but this one seems to be especially good like better than anything that ever ate CO2 ever before and they found it in some Italian volcano which is where I go to look for my microbes if I if I need a good microbe to do something that nobody's done I'll go to an Italian volcano and I'll start looking because that's where the good ones are um but here's why this is cool the most of the current CO2 capture Technologies I don't know if you knew this but they'll capture the CO2 and then it's it's just this physical stuff that they've got to put somewhere so they've put it in a big hole so they put in a big hole in the ground yeah just bury it but uh apparently if you take that same CO2 out of the atmosphere and stick it in this Pond full of these microbes you can put an infinite amount of CO2 into the pond because the microbes will just eat it so that seems like a pretty good solution so I ask once again the people who did the 50-year the 50-year predictions about climate change did their prediction include an Italian volcano creating a CO2 eating microbe probably not so certainly the technical developments will change everything so that's worth going how many of you saw that there's a bride magazine now Bride magazine of course is specifically for brides and they put on their cover now a trans feminine activist and that alone is not much of a story in in 2023 there's not much of a story is it that a a trans person got put on a bride magazine and it's not unusual at all uh well however caught my caught my attention was this specific trans feminine activist is the hairiest human being I've seen since Bigfoot I mean I'm talking about a seriously hairy human and this seriously hairy human is on the cover with with a bare midriff of head on stomach is just pure hair now I'm not making fun of hairy people because there are lots of hairy people nothing wrong with that uh however their choice to put it on the magazine uh read to me a little bit more like uh embracing and amplifying it didn't feel it didn't feel exactly like they were serious about it does anybody have that feeling like like it was almost tongue-in-cheek but not exactly honestly I can't take that seriously it does not look serious it looks like they were it looks like they had pressure I'm just going to take a speculative guess right I have no inside knowledge this is not part of the story but I I always think what was the meeting like though you always wondered that what was that meeting like where they talked about that because I think it was something like there was a maybe a trans person in the office perhaps and they couldn't say no we're not going to put a trans woman on the cover right don't you think that there was a you know there was a back and forth no we can't do that and then other people were saying yes we we need to show that we're you know a good Progressive company and young women in particular are protrans yeah I think young women are probably the biggest supporters of the trans Community I'm guessing it feels like it would be the case so they probably said yes we want to be Progressive and so we want to put a trans woman on the cover now in my conspiratorial mind what I imagine is that the people who were dead set against the trans person being on the cover embraced it and went out and found the one trans person who would do the least good job of representing the company just to say they did it and now if that's what they did and I'm not saying they did I'm just speculating how it might have gone it would be hilarious and almost as if bride magazine was mocking itself that's how I took it I'm going to put in those terms it looked like the magazine was mocking itself what do you think because because I feel like they obviously knew they'd gone way over the line into territory that their readers would you know have a let's say a interesting response to do you think that you when you look at that cover with the hairiest trans person you've ever seen in your life you think that they said to themselves yeah this is good this is just what we wanted this is exactly the brand we want to project that for bride magazine Harry biologically born males but now trans women are exactly the market we're after I'm not believing it I feel as if it's become parody now and I feel as if there's at least one person at bride just guessing I have no information about this who thought it was just funny to go too far I wonder if anybody else will do that we'll see all right uh I remind you that I'm pro-trans protrans but then still makes some of the you know interaction funny I think we can still do that um I saw Brian ramelli tweet today about the study of wolves and there's this parasite there's a specific parasite that usually is in cats this Toxoplasma Gandhi parasite and after 26 years worth of data on wolves lots of wolves they found out that if a wolf has this parasite the wolf is at 40 uh what is it 40 something 46 times more likely to become a Pac leader so there's a parasite that changes the aggressiveness and behavior of wolves to such an extent it actually makes them leaders now uh here's my questions now the and here's there's a reason for the mechanism so there's an evolutionary reason so the idea is if the parasite that wants to be in cats gets into something else like a like a mouse the mouse will actually be attracted to cat urine so that the mouse will more likely do dangerous cat related things and then get eaten and then when the cat eats the mouse then the parasite gets back in the cat where it wanted to be so apparently the the parasite can infect anybody but once it affects anybody one of the behaviors is it makes you recklessly get near cats so it might be doing that to the Wolves it might be making the Wolves say well I won't necessarily stay in my own territory I'll Branch out and become a leader in this cat related territory over here which makes it more likely that they'll they'll be killed by a cat or some cat related exposure so here's the question do you think there's any chance that humans have not not necessarily this particular microbe but do you think there are any microbes that are making humans act the way we Act and that it's even passed down by um mother to father mother to child because I think this one actually can be passed by birth yeah it's entirely possible and we didn't know about this one that was a huge impact on the wolf Community until recently so don't you think we might be basically empty puppets that are being run by some weird microbes could be could be just part of our operating system because because you notice that some people are well let me speculate let's just speculate do you suppose there could be one that causes mass shootings now I don't think that's what's causing it I think it's social influence and access to weapons of course but it could be because when somebody becomes a mass shooter it just doesn't seem to make any sense to us does it it's almost like they got some microbe that took over their body so I'm just going to put that out there that I will make a prediction I predict that in your lifetime we will discover that there's some different microbe that affects human behavior substantially what do you think will anybody want to take the other side of that bat we're going to find a microbe that's influencing our behavior in a major way we just don't know yet all right um here's a big question for you I saw this on the Tweet by a user named Camille okay k-a-m-i-l you would pronounce that Camille Camille I think Bill um he tweeted that uh looked like he was asking AI chat GPT some questions about transgenderism and body dysmorphia and he convinced the AI and given we know that the way you ask the question can make a big difference to the answer he asked the question in a way they got the AI to say that teaching Transit teaching transgenderism to kids causes body dysmorphia or dysphoria body dysphoria now I'm not saying that's true I'm saying that somebody asked Ai and they got the AI to say yes that makes total sense and the AI even explained this thinking if if children are told that gender is not sex related and that they can choose their gender because it's not something hard-coded at Birth then they're more likely to do it so if they're more likely to wonder about their sexual identity because they're taught that they can that that's an ordinary thing and the the benefit to somebody who has let's put it this way if you had body dysphoria already being taught that transgenderism is a thing I imagine that'd be really good for you would you agree if you had this body dysphoria wouldn't you be a lot happier to learn in school that it's like a legitimate thing and you know you have you have a couple of paths you could take and all that but imagine if you did not have gender dysphoria you're just a kid and kids can be you know wildly confused about lots of stuff it's not gender dysphoria so then suddenly you start teaching the kids that they have a choice well you know could go this way it could go this way it doesn't matter what you were born with you've got options so according to Ai and this is not me so this is not my opinion I'm telling you a story about somebody who got AI to say something so there are no human opinions involved in any of this this is ai's opinion teaching kids transgenderism causes gender dysphoria now independent of the the content of the question of the answer the bigger question is this what happens when AI starts telling us things that make sense but disagree with what is acceptable and appropriate and woke what are we going to do are we going to turn off the AI we're going to call it a liar are we going to say it's bigot AI is a bigot I think that's what's going to happen prediction number two AI will be labeled bigots AI will be called a racist and a misogynist and probably anti-trans at some point don't you think and and how in the world could that be avoided I don't see any way that can be avoided because because humans call other humans all these names you know big racist Etc are they always right how often does a human correct when they call somebody else a racist in the United States not often not often but it's pretty rare it's just something you say against political enemies mostly now you don't think that that same impulse will be used on AI when AI starts telling you things you don't like you're going to call it a bigot and a racist and tell everybody to stop listening to it you're going to want to people are going to try to cancel AI there I said it humans will try to cancel AI for being too bigoted and it doesn't mean it will be bigoted it might be it's been you know it's trained by people so it probably is but even if it's not somebody's not going to like their answer and they're gonna say well that's bigoted yeah I know you're just being an AI and I know you're just doing what you're programmed but that's so bigoted so yeah we'll use uh that to limit AI all right uh how many of you want me to talk about Stephen Crowder's divorce given that he's talking about it publicly I'm going to take a vote I saw one yes but mostly no's so mostly we should leave them alone what do you say just leave them alone to let it work out your vote is accepted topic removed forever from this live stream the public has spoken and by the way I'm kind of proud of you I didn't know why you would say than that I kind of thought it would be closer to 50 50.

but I do like the fact that you have a very high it looks like 80 80 20 kind of thing at least 90 10 maybe well that is a really good statement about all of you I have to say so you're better people than I am in many ways All Right Moving On The Washington Post which as you know seems to like the Democrats better than the Republicans have given Biden a bottomless Pinocchio uh apparently that's their worst rating for lying the bottomless Pinocchio now for context they gave Trump a lot of bottomless pinocchios and the the standard for the bottomless Pinocchio which is the worst of all the pinocchios bottomless the standard is you have to say the same lie like a whole bunch of times like 30 times or something but if you say the whole lie like a whole bunch of times that it's a bottomless Pinocchio and uh Biden apparently keeps going around saying that he lowered the deficit by a record 1.7 trillion a claim that the Washington Post Kessler gave three pinocchios in September so this is September when he started saying it it was clearly not true but it wasn't yet a bottomless Pinocchio but he's he's now said it so many times uh he said it 30 times since June and there's just no truth to it at all apparently apparently it's so untrue that the story doesn't even bother to say why he says it like well he's counting this but not that it just feels like it's just some shitty made up that he just says it and apparently uh as far as I can tell Democrats believe him because uh I was joking the other day that some CNN said that Biden will try to distract from his age as an issue by talking about the economy and I just laughed I go really you're going to distract from your bad feature your age by talking about your worst feature how you handle the economy and I couldn't even believe anybody would say that unless they were joking I actually tweeted it as a joke like without any change I just thought oh that's just so funny just the way it is without anything added I just thought it was funny that somebody thought they should distract to make us look at his economy and then I find out he's been telling people mostly his own crowd I guess that he's been lowering the deficit by 1.7 trillion because if that were real wouldn't you think he did a good job I mean that would be kind of impressive because the thing I'm worried about the most is the deficit he says he lowered it if he really lowered the deficit by 1.7 trillion that would be the one of the greatest accomplishments of any president but he didn't do anything like that he just lied about it because he's old not because he's a little bit because he's a liar all right so I guess he'll be running on his record of honesty against Trump again it still blows my mind that somebody thinks he's the honest one Joe Biden he's like one of the most famous Liars in all of politics now Trump would be the other one of course but the fact that anybody thinks that one of them is the honest one of you know Trump versus Biden yeah pick the one who passes all the fact checking they're exactly the same those two are exactly the same they don't tell the truth about anything if there's a you know better story and this again is why I tell you I we need the country needs a debate between uh Vivek ramaswamy and RFK Jr not because they have a huge chance of becoming president at the moment things could change things could change quickly actually but because they both have a history of not being Liars now you can argue that they've been wrong about stuff I'm not arguing that they've been right about everything I'm just saying that there's no evidence that they've intentionally just told a bottomless Pinocchio there's no bottomless Pinocchio is happening with those two so let's see him talk let's see him let's see him figure out what's true and what isn't all right um so now doctors are using AI to craft draft responses and save time this is one of the best uses of AI that I've seen yet so when somebody writes to their doctor which is common on email as soon as the email goes as soon as the doctor goes to respond AI gives types out the draft response in the email because most stuff is is common somebody will say hey I think I have an ear infection what should I do well you don't necessarily need them to come in for you know to to check them out in person so you might say something like well here's a prescription for this and use it three times a day and get back to me in a week if it doesn't work so that all appears in the email and then the doctor skims it goes oh yeah that's what I was going to say boop it's kind of amazing kind of amazing so but uh apparently AI was tested by real doctors to see if it could give as answers that are as good as doctors and what the doctors judge was that the AI was actually better than human doctors already but this makes me ask the following question how do humans judge an intelligence that's smarter than they are at the moment they probably can because if it makes like an obvious mistake you know it tells you to take a drug too much or something that'd be obvious but what happens in just a little bit of time maybe a year when the AI doctor is unambiguously better than human doctors but the human doctors will be the ones who decide how good it is right because they will test they'll test the AI against their own knowledge and opinions what happens if they don't match well in today's world I mean literally just today if they don't match the doctor still wins and the doctors give him no that's not it I I overrule you and everybody thinks that's probably a good idea but what happens when there's just no question just no question that AI has higher accuracy than human doctors it's less than a year away that's going to happen well then the doctor tries to overrule it should they do you want your doctor to overrule the AI if you know the AI is better than the doctor so this is where I'm predicting that AI will be capped in some areas we will not want AI to be smarter than us after it is murdered us so we're going to treat it like we treat humans if you let's say you go into a debate uh uh let's use real people let's say a dumb person goes into a debate with Ben Shapiro a famous smart person in the real world Ben Shapiro would annihilate the less intelligent competitor in any kind of a debate I mean it would just be a you know Slaughter but what is this person who got slaughtered a hypothetical person who gets slaughtered in their debate against Ben Shapiro say about it do they say to me apart in front of a big crowd of people who all agree he ripped me apart does anybody ever say that nope no they think they won if Ben Shapiro just shredded you in front of a huge crowd of people who all agreed that he shredded you you would still walk away saying you know I think it was a tie or or I think I actually won because you know the crowd was just on his side or something like that so we're going to do the same thing with AI when AI just destroys us with his better arguments we humans are going to say no you got that one wrong I I think my opinion actually is better than that if I'm if I'm being honest I I see all your smart a I answer but no I think I think my answer is a little bit more on the Mark if you know what I mean so AI will certainly be gated by our own intelligence um cities are starting to convert their uh empty or office spaces into residential space now they're doing it in Boston Seattle and some other places but I don't understand how it's going to work in a city that's a crime infested toilet who's going to want to move into a city just because they can it feels like the very worst thing for some cities so my prediction is the cities that are you know let's say red states are red red local government the Republicans I think probably are good on crime so if you were moving into a an office building that had been converted in a in a red City it might be a great great thing imagine living in a high-rise in the middle of the city the city you want to live in and you've got a like a full gym like not just a little crappy one like they have with a you know some apartment buildings they'll give you like a little crappy gem but like like a serious full gym and then you've got you know all these windows looking out at the at the scenery you've got security because it's a you know probably Security in the lobby um I feel like it would be a really good lifestyle you can imagine one one floor being food and Starbucks and places where people can take their laptop and stuff and meet other people I think it'd be kind of Awesome but it's got to be the right City so apparently that will be the um the thing that these commercial properties you're going to do to try to save themselves now the the good news is sport local coffee shops well it would be a local coffee shop it would be right into your building it could literally be Starbucks or you're saying you don't want it all right I get it um I love Starbucks too much too to uh to be on your side of that all right um did you you've probably heard the story from before there's a Palestinian Mickey Mouse so they've got some kind of character that does a TV show for kids that's just a knockoff of Mickey Mouse but it's the Palestinian version and this was the story from today the Hamas TV on Friday um they did the last episode of the show called far four and their Mickey Mouse character uh who is now called Mickey Mouse it's something else either he preaches Islamic domination and armed struggle to youngsters in the final skit uh the oh far four is the name of the mouse uh farfer was beaten to death by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy four Four's land laughs the Palestinian children's programming needs some work Palestinian children are watching a giant mouse being beaten to death by an Israeli official tried to buy his land and at one point the giant mouse called 4-4 calls the Israeli a terrorists and then and then he was martyred defending his land oh man it must be tough to be a kid over there oh they grow up so fast all right I'm only laughing because it's so horrible right like it so so somebody says it's not funny no it is funny it's funny because it's so beyond the realm of appropriate behavior or acceptable behavior it's just crazy all the news is just people going too far that's too far the bride magazine with the hairy bride that's too far you know if they just stuck with a a trans woman who did a great job of looking like a biologically born woman well that wouldn't be too far in 2023 that'd be sort of ordinary actually but but bride magazine had to go too far they had to they they had to put a yeti on the cover and this is too far too back in 2014 San Francisco schools dropped eighth grade Algebra because uh they wanted to reduce inequities because apparently some people weren't doing well in algebra so their solution was to just stop it just stop doing that and it turns out that the the parents are organizing to get it back do you know why they're organizing to get um to get algebra back into eighth grade because they thought the school went too far too far now it's just too far taking taking it away frankly so we're trying to get it back they don't want to be the laughing stock for being you know one of the places that doesn't teach a basic course to kids now personally I don't know how much algebra helps you unless you're going on to stem and some other high-end stuff so I don't know I'm somewhere in the middle of this I think the the highest achieving students should have access to it but I don't think I just don't think algebra helps the average person do you now I I can honestly say I have used algebra as an adult how many of you could say that I I've used algebra in my day job I think I've used it in my cartooning work yeah yeah usually just simple stuff you know solving for a variable right yeah just solve me for a variable usually so I would say I do use it but if I'd never learned it it wouldn't have made that much of a difference I mean it didn't really change the course of my life or anything it was just sort of a handy little tool to have I'm sure AI could have done it for me do you think you would need algebra in a world of AI nope no you'll never you'll never use basic algebra in a world of AI because you'll just pick up your phone and you'll say um solve for x with 2X equals you know three Y and Y equals this you'll you'll just tell the machine to do it of course you'd have to be smart enough to know it's a it's a formula yeah maybe we do need a little algebra a little bit of algebra for the people who are going on to some types of careers would be good all right um Kansas passed the law that you foreign this feels too far too uh Kansas passed a law that trans people can't use the um I guess if you're going to use the woman's restroom in Kansas and after I don't know in a few months or something when the law goes into effect you have to have ovaries say I think the ovaries is where they decided to draw the line if you were not born with ovaries then you'd have to use the male bathroom I guess now of course it's what you're born with so hysterectomies are not irrelevant questions while you were born with um what do you think of that and I'm wondering what happens if you were uh let's say a trans woman and you went into a woman's restroom and somebody complained would you have to prove you do or do not have ovaries or would people just admit it so you wouldn't have to prove it how does anybody know if you have ovaries can they tell just by looking at you I guess the guy the the the the person they put on bride magazine you could tell but I don't know if you could always tell I don't know we'll see how this law works I would like to add to the trans bathroom issue that their natural Alliance would be with their natural Alliance would be with people who have pyreesis shy bladder as I've mentioned way too many times there are a number of people and I'm one of them who can't use public restrooms because our bodies just don't just won't do it you can force yourself to like be there and you know trying to do it but your body just won't do it if there are people around it's it's a sort of a psychological condition mostly but those people and I'm one of them so I can say those people in this case um really really need an option where there's just a single single bathroom option so if you added all the trans people of which there are more every day and then you add that to the people who are sort of coming out of the water closet as they like to say the people who had shy bladder is that not enough and then maybe there's some other some other things you throw in there is that maybe and maybe handicapped as well so maybe there are uh at least three categories of people who legitimately um for reasons that everybody would agree maybe they need a little extra privacy so I don't I think I would disagree with making it some kind of a requirement I wouldn't make it a requirement but it would be nice to have a third option for a variety of people for a variety of reasons no children yeah that's that's another good one because isn't it creepy um when I when I belong to a gym which I don't know but what I belong to a gym and I would see fathers bring their five-year-old daughters into the men's locker room and the men are standing there bought naked and there's this little five-year-old girl who can walk and talk and she's just hanging around in the middle of it like to me that was just too far like I wasn't comfortable with it but wouldn't it be nice yeah if I if a father and a young daughter could have their privacy as well so might be other reasons for that all right is there any big story I missed any big story I missed the any other famous people die since I started um oh Elon yeah so Elon Musk went on Bill Maher and I thought it was going to make a bunch of news but I don't think it did because they just agreed with each other that the woke mind virus is bad and getting canceled is bad and free speech is good so and and it sounded like Bill Maher was very Pro musk in terms of you know what he does as an entrepreneur and as a citizen of the country it's all very impressive um Bill still believes the Russian collusion hoax I don't think he does uh margin degree just stayed quiet so I couldn't as I said I couldn't stream it because my technology just decided I can't use my apps for reasons I don't understand now let's see if I've rebooted my phone well apparently I didn't I was going to play that Kamala Harris I've all talked about so there's a AI of Kamal Harris in which they started with a speech where she did the crazy talk about time and the passage of time must be contextualized in the current time versus the passage of time you know that thing so they turned it into a longer rambling thing and they made her sound drunk well now it was so good that yeah the only reason I know it's fake is that I saw the original I would imagine that was so good that people would look at that and not be able to tell all right let me see if Twitter is giving is Twitter doesn't work on my phone I'm just going to throw it in the ocean all right it's working apparently had to reboot my phone just to use the app so let me play it for you here I swear this will be worth waiting for you're gonna love it all right today's today and yesterday was today yesterday tomorrow will be today tomorrow so even her face is a little drunk today today's today and yesterday was today yesterday tomorrow will be today tomorrow so live today this is the future today will be as the past today as it is tomorrow today's today and yesterday was today yesterday tomorrow will be today oh God all right so there's a new embarrassing uh video of her loving Venn diagrams I was watching on Hannity a clip where they showed all the times that she screamed her love of Venn diagrams and giggled uncontrollably and it's really cringy to to watch it all together because it always starts with and I'm going to talk about Venn diagrams have I told you how much I love I love Venn diagrams I know you're laughing but I love them I love that Van Dyke of you know the three circles you know you could put anything in a Venn diagram anything a yellow school bus with Wi-Fi you can put it in a Venn diagram and it just looks crazy but it also looks inebriated it looks inebrained and whoever did this AI effort talking about time obviously he thought it looked inebriated enough that the parody would be her fully inebriated now the mainstream the mainstream media is completely avoiding the obvious are they not is it not obvious that she's either inebriated or she acts like somebody who is I mean I I don't know if she's a knee brain but isn't it obvious that she's acting like she is how do you ignore that I mean seriously how do you ignore that of all things because I think even I think even the media on the right is ignoring it do they think it's that she's not inebriated do you think the big opinion people on the right don't see it am I the only one that thinks she acts like it and again I don't know it could be natural but if you saw anybody else acting like that you would assume they were drunk wouldn't you yeah maybe she's got a microbe that makes her love Venn diagrams excellent callback I wish I thought of that excellent callback uh you think I planted that idea I don't know maybe but I think other people would see it right well let me ask you if if you had not heard it from me if you had never heard of me never heard anything I ever said about anything ever would any of you have on your own said she looks drunk anybody it's not just because I influenced you right yeah I'm seeing lots of people say yes she looks she looks at or so inebriated in some way right how do we ignore that I mean really all right I'm going to make a prediction within the next month there will be notable pundits on the right who will expressly say that she's acting inebriated what do you say now I think it would be way too far if they said she's drunk because we don't know that we only know she acts like one and that part we can confirm because that's our opinion right well I've seen drugs and I've seen her and they sort of look the same to me yeah I think in one month you'll see people calling her inebriated you might even see a Democrat do it if they really really need to get rid of her all right now I tweeted uh that to me it's obvious and I wondered if Democrats now that the reason that Biden is running for a re-election at this age it's a variety of reasons you know it's not just one reason but I think the biggest one is to protect Hunter and the rest of the family maybe his brother too don't you I don't think there's any way in the world that a man his age and as obviously let's say affected by age I don't think there's any way he would he would run just for political reasons or just for personal reasons I mean you know ambition I don't think it's ambition I don't think it's to prove a point I don't think it's anything except it's the best way to protect his family as long as possible because he might think that as soon as he's out of office Hunter goes to jail which is possible it's very possible now some people said but Scott that's stupid because uh Joe Biden could just pardon Hunter and anybody else he wanted to Pardon and then there's no risk do you believe that no because first of all he can only pardon Federal offenses right so only Federal offenses and I assume there's going to be some State gun charge or something in there sooner or later uh and what would that look like politically if Biden um the Democrats and the left-leaning press that ever had happened in their life because they would have to explain why you gave a uh why you'd why you'd want to clear somebody who had not been convicted or something right it would look it would make Hunter look completely guilty at the same time it would look make Joe Biden look completely guilty secondly do you think there's any chance that he would pardon Hunter sort of preemptively uh without partying himself or having his vice president pardon him you know once once the vice president is uh takes over the office I don't think so because if he asked for a pardon himself again the public is going to say that's guilty so somehow he has to get out of office with his family not in jail without the stigma of a pardon now the pardon is still an option but can you imagine how much he doesn't want to do that because it's basically a confession of guilt the the public would see it as a confession of guilt am I wrong the public would see it as guilt right it is pretty rare to give somebody a pardon for something then they didn't do and you know for sure they didn't do it because Biden knows for sure what happened he knows for sure what's true so do you give a pardon yeah no everybody would everybody would just assume that he figured he would be in trouble without the pardon uh okay all right we already know on the guilt um I saw somebody who follows the news on the left who believes that um the Democrats have seen no evidence that Biden did anything wrong with any of the dealings with Hunter do you think that's true I think it is true no I I think that the average Democrat is now seeing anything close to news on that topic well thank you Emil all right uh yeah even if even if let's say let's speculate if Hunter Biden didn't pay his taxes on any of his gains from his overseas activities the he would be guilty for federal taxes but also state taxes so even if he got pardoned for all the federal stuff he'd still have to deal with state state taxation can someone tell you what Hunter's been charged with the answer is nothing and that's the point the point is he hasn't been charged the evidence that he should be charged is somewhat massive but I'm also very interested in if there's a taxation issue if there's a taxation issue and it's gone this far I would say that it's pretty clear that there's something he didn't declare do you think that's fair to say if the IRS has an extended and extended investigation it's because there's something that's not on his taxes as it should be right or there's some deduction that shouldn't be there but I think more likely it's something that didn't show up for example isn't there a story about him receiving a diamond that he says he lost is that true because if it's true he has to pay taxes on receiving the diamond and it and he gets no benefit for losing it if you make some money and then it catches on fire in your house and it burns up your money's just gone yeah it's just gone yeah so you can imagine there's a whole bunch of sketchy situations where he said in public or was did he say it I believe he said that he did receive a diamond and lost it am I remembering that wrong can you confirm that you can confirm that right the diamond could have been insured but almost certainly wasn't do you know why because things like diamonds have to be specifically mentioned in insurance here's what you can't do with your insurance company hey insurance company I lost a 75 000 diamond how do we know you ever have it oh and there's your insurance yeah uh and I can speak from in from experience so if you buy an expensive wedding ring and you don't take a picture of it and send the documentation to your insurance carrier you know if it's a real expensive one uh they won't cover it they're just going to say you didn't tell us you had it so the expensive stuff that's easy to steal and easy to lose you have to tell them or it's not covered yeah so do you believe that uh as soon as Hunter this you know drug down guy as soon as he received this diamond do you think the first thing he did was tell his insurance company hey I got an extra diamond I don't think so no no so I don't think it was covered by insurance I'm not exactly sure it was lost you know what I mean like I doubt it was lost maybe he just doesn't want to tell you who he gave it to he maybe he gave it to a hooker or something so yeah maybe it could be lost I suppose he lost two laptops so he could lose a diamond he's a he would he was drugged down enough to lose a diamond it was the only rock he couldn't smoke a boom he lost it on Jeweler's row Mecca bouse all right I think we've covered all the big stories today better than anything you're ever going to see in the rest of your life he didn't actually lose it somebody says all right uh You.

Tube thanks for joining and I will see you tomorrow same place same time best live stream ever

do do

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

you've never had a better time and if

you'd like your experience to be the

kind that you'll talk about to your

grandkids grandkids

I mean you'll probably live forever so

that's going to work out for you all you

need is a cup or a mug or a glass a

tanker chalices dying a canteen jogger

flask a vessel of any kind fill in with

your favorite liquid I like coffee and

join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure it's a dopamine here the day

the thing that makes everything better

it's called the simultaneous sip

go

ah

so good

well if you were if you were a

subscriber to the locals Channel

scottadams.locals.com you would be

seeing the new Dilbert comics called

Dilbert Reborn

and I can't I can't show you the edgiest

ones

so you just have to trust me that

they're edgier than the one I'm going to

show you right now

but here's what I can show you

and by the way this would never be

allowed in newspapers right it's going

to be fine on YouTube like YouTube is

going to be fine with it but newspapers

would have had a problem so it's the

boss he's at a meeting and he's got a

Dilbert on one side and engineer Dave

on the other and uh here's what it looks

like

and uh I'll read it to you so you don't

have to read it just see the setting and

the boss says leadership has decided to

lower our hiring standards to increase

diversity as quickly as possible then

Dave who's the black engineer in the

group says won't that make people think

I was not qualified when you hired me

and the boss says yes but it's also bad

for the rest of us then Dave says okay

as long as it's equitable

so that's something I couldn't have done

in a car in a com in a newspaper

but uh having a lot of fun with it uh

behind a subscription site

and of course the edge of your comic is

robots read news my other comic

which is always edgier

all right I would like to

nominate two words

for disgrace

can we disgrace words so if anybody uses

either of these words you should just

laugh at them like ha ha

you've used the disgraced words

that means you're not even a serious

person are you ready here are the two

disgraced words in political commentary

rant

and obsessed

if you hear somebody say that somebody

else ranted

the person who used the word you should

just mock them

I'm sure they ranted didn't they did

they rant or did they simply talk which

did they do did they rant was it ranting

or was it just sort of talking

they're not obsessed

hey here's a here's a story about uh

Disney and DeSantis why are you so

obsessed

with Disney versus DeSantis why are you

obsessed with it

no no no

you are

you you're using one of those words

obsessed or rant as soon as you hear

those words

right away those are not serious people

all right how many of you have seen the

uh AI I assume it's AI generated fake

Kamala uh drunken Kamala video If you

haven't I'm going to call it up and show

it to you right now because it might be

one of the funniest things you'll see in

a long time

all right

bear with me well I use my low Tech to

find it

um

well speaking of low Tech

I've got one of those phones that uh

doesn't seem to want to produce anything

oh my God

all my technology is broken today

so I'd like to give you uh here's my

demonstration of

watching Hulu last night so I went to

watch Hulu

looked a lot like nothing

um but then this morning I went to watch

uh Bill Maher talking to Elon Musk

so I opened up my HBO app and and here

it is here's what my HBO app looks like

so this is Hulu HBO and Twitter on my

phone they all look the same now just a

nothing

why I don't know I have no idea

why but the last several days no website

works on my devices

so I'm going to reboot my phone and

that Jesus I tell you how many times a

day

is there some basic technology that just

simply doesn't work for you is it just

me

it's not just me right

I mean ordinary stuff like your car

won't start your your phone just doesn't

work you try to get out an app they use

all the time it just doesn't work

is that your experience because all day

long I'm just solving technical problems

all day long

so yeah the last time I don't even

remember the last time I successfully

opened a streaming app and watched

something

do you know how hard I worked trying to

watch The Bill Maher musk interview I

never got to see it I couldn't find any

technology that would just show us

streaming video

now obviously I know how to use

technology I'm literally streaming on

two devices right now I don't think it's

me I think there's some weird thing

happening

and and yesterday there was like almost

every website I went to just seemed

broken

did that happen to you yesterday what

was yesterday a day when all kinds of

websites were broken or was that just me

I don't know all right I guess it was

just me

so uh there's a new obesity drug

oh great

so now big Pharma has found a way to

battle big food

so big food is killing you with food

that makes you fat the big farmer big

Pharma found a drug that will save you

from the big food

now

I'm I'm just guessing

that that won't be the healthiest thing

for you

I can't believe it's I guess it's a

diabetes drug it's the second time

there's been a second time there's been

a different kind of diabetes drug that

had a secondary use that would help you

lose weight and apparently it works yeah

the the initial reports are it totally

works

is that the worst thing you've ever

heard

now humans can eat as much crap as they

want

and they won't get fat as long as they

have another drug in their body

now I would think that the nutritional

risk from eating foods that would

normally make you fat but somehow you

found a way not to make you fat

it's not as empic is the older one

there's actually a newer better one

so the one you're thinking of that was a

diabetes drug

that is secondary use for losing weight

this is the third one of those there's

two of them that use the same drug and

then this is a new one that was just

announced today so it's not it's not the

Eurozone

all right what's it called some other

name doesn't matter

I I hate everything about this

like on on one hand it feels like it

should be this great breakthrough that's

going to help the obese

but it feels like it's going to make it

worse

does anybody get that feeling

that if you could take a drug

that would allow you to eat like a

glutton all day long and not not gain

weight or does it not work that way oh I

think maybe it makes you not hungry

is that what it does does it oh it's an

appetite suppressant okay so maybe

that's even I don't know is that better

or is that worse

if you suppress your appetite what kind

of food are you likely to eat

healthy food that doesn't taste great

or if you have a suppressed appetite

or you'd be drawn to sugary food

here's what you need

you need you need a drug that only makes

you not want to eat too much sugary

stuff

that's all you need you you want to

think you want a drug that keeps you

just as hungry as always but if you see

a piece of cake you just go the cake

and if you see uh something like a piece

of broccoli you go broccoli

gotta get me some broccoli

uh

so anyway that's happened

there is here's some good news from

science there's a microbe that eats CO2

now it's not the first time you've heard

of that right there's always some kind

of Little Critter that's eating CO2 but

nothing comes of it but this one seems

to be especially good like better than

anything that ever ate CO2 ever before

and they found it in some Italian

volcano which is where I go to look for

my microbes

if I if I need a good microbe to do

something that nobody's done I'll go to

an Italian volcano and I'll start

looking because that's where the good

ones are

um

but here's why this is cool

the most of the current CO2 capture

Technologies I don't know if you knew

this but they'll capture the CO2 and

then it's it's just this physical stuff

that they've got to put somewhere so

they've put it in a big hole so they put

in a big hole in the ground

yeah just bury it but

uh apparently if you take that same CO2

out of the atmosphere and stick it in

this Pond full of these microbes you can

put an infinite amount of CO2 into the

pond because the microbes will just eat

it

so that seems like a pretty good

solution

so I ask once again

the people who did the 50-year

the 50-year predictions about climate

change

did their prediction include

an Italian volcano creating a CO2 eating

microbe probably not

so certainly the technical developments

will change everything

so that's worth going

how many of you saw that there's a bride

magazine now Bride magazine of course

is specifically for brides

and they put on their cover now a trans

feminine activist and

that alone is not much of a story in in

2023

there's not much of a story is it that a

a trans person got put on a bride

magazine and it's not unusual at all

uh well however caught my caught my

attention was this specific trans

feminine activist is the hairiest human

being I've seen since Bigfoot

I mean I'm talking about a seriously

hairy human

and this seriously hairy human is on the

cover with with a bare midriff of head

on stomach is just pure hair

now I'm not making fun of hairy people

because there are lots of hairy people

nothing wrong with that

uh however their choice to put it on the

magazine uh read to me a little bit more

like uh embracing and amplifying

it didn't feel

it didn't feel exactly like they were

serious about it

does anybody have that feeling

like like it was almost tongue-in-cheek

but not exactly

honestly I can't take that seriously it

does not look serious it looks like they

were it looks like they had pressure

I'm just going to take a speculative

guess right I have no inside knowledge

this is not part of the story but I I

always think what was the meeting like

though you always wondered that what was

that meeting like where they talked

about that

because I think it was something like

there was a maybe a trans person in the

office perhaps and they couldn't say no

we're not going to put a trans woman on

the cover

right don't you think that there was a

you know there was a back and forth no

we can't do that and then other people

were saying yes we we need to show that

we're you know a good Progressive

company and young women in particular

are protrans

yeah I think young women are probably

the biggest supporters of the trans

Community I'm guessing it feels like it

would be the case

so they probably said yes we want to be

Progressive and so we want to put a

trans woman on the cover

now in my conspiratorial mind

what I imagine is that the people who

were dead set against the trans person

being on the cover

embraced it and went out and found the

one trans person who would do the least

good job of representing the company

just to say they did it

and now if that's what they did and I'm

not saying they did I'm just speculating

how it might have gone it would be

hilarious

and almost as if bride magazine was

mocking itself

that's how I took it I'm going to put in

those terms it looked like the magazine

was mocking itself

what do you think

because because I feel like they

obviously knew they'd gone way over the

line into territory that their readers

would

you know have a let's say a interesting

response to

do you think that you when you look at

that cover with the hairiest

trans person you've ever seen in your

life

you think that they said to themselves

yeah this is good

this is just what we wanted this is

exactly the brand

we want to project that for bride

magazine

Harry

biologically born males but now trans

women are exactly the market we're after

I'm not believing it

I feel as if it's become parody now and

I feel as if there's at least one person

at bride just guessing I have no

information about this who thought it

was just funny

to go too far

I wonder if anybody else will do that

we'll see

all right uh I remind you that I'm

pro-trans

protrans

but then still makes some of the you

know interaction funny

I think we can still do that

um I saw Brian ramelli tweet today about

the study of wolves and there's this

parasite there's a specific parasite

that usually is in cats this Toxoplasma

Gandhi parasite and after 26 years worth

of data on wolves lots of wolves they

found out that if a wolf has this

parasite

the wolf is at 40 uh what is it 40

something 46 times more likely to become

a Pac leader

so there's a parasite

that changes the aggressiveness and

behavior of wolves to such an extent it

actually makes them leaders

now

uh here's my questions

now the and here's there's a reason for

the mechanism so there's an evolutionary

reason so the idea is if the parasite

that wants to be in cats gets into

something else like a like a mouse the

mouse will actually be attracted to cat

urine

so that the mouse will more likely do

dangerous cat related things and then

get eaten and then when the cat eats the

mouse then the parasite gets back in the

cat where it wanted to be

so apparently the the parasite can

infect anybody

but once it affects anybody one of the

behaviors is it makes you recklessly get

near cats

so it might be doing that to the Wolves

it might be making the Wolves say well I

won't necessarily stay in my own

territory I'll Branch out and become a

leader

in this cat related territory over here

which makes it more likely that they'll

they'll be killed by a cat or some cat

related exposure

so here's the question

do you think there's any chance

that humans have not not necessarily

this particular microbe but do you think

there are any microbes that are making

humans act the way we Act

and that it's even passed down by

um mother to father mother to child

because I think this one actually can be

passed by birth

yeah it's entirely possible and we

didn't know about this one that was a

huge impact on the wolf Community until

recently

so don't you think we might be

basically empty puppets that are being

run by some weird microbes

could be could be just part of our

operating system

because because you notice that some

people are well let me speculate

let's just speculate

do you suppose there could be one that

causes mass shootings

now I don't think that's what's causing

it I think it's social influence and

access to weapons of course but

it could be

because when somebody becomes a mass

shooter it just doesn't seem to make any

sense to us does it it's almost like

they got some microbe that took over

their body

so I'm just going to put that out there

that I will make a prediction

I predict that in your lifetime

we will discover that there's some

different microbe that affects human

behavior substantially

what do you think

will anybody want to take the other side

of that bat we're going to find a

microbe that's influencing our behavior

in a major way we just don't know yet

all right

um

here's a big question for you I saw this

on the Tweet by a user named Camille

okay

k-a-m-i-l you would pronounce that

Camille Camille I think Bill

um

he tweeted that uh looked like he was

asking AI chat GPT some questions about

transgenderism and body dysmorphia

and

he convinced the AI

and given we know that the way you ask

the question can make a big difference

to the answer he asked the question in a

way they got the AI

to say that teaching Transit teaching

transgenderism to kids

causes body dysmorphia or dysphoria body

dysphoria

now I'm not saying that's true

I'm saying that somebody asked Ai and

they got the AI to say yes that makes

total sense

and the AI even explained this thinking

if if children are told that gender is

not sex related

and that they can choose their gender

because it's not something hard-coded at

Birth

then they're more likely to do it

so if they're more likely

to wonder about their sexual identity

because they're taught that they can

that that's an ordinary thing and

the the benefit to somebody who

has let's put it this way if you had

body dysphoria already

being taught that transgenderism is a

thing I imagine that'd be really good

for you would you agree

if you had this body dysphoria wouldn't

you be a lot happier

to learn in school that it's like a

legitimate thing and you know you have

you have a couple of paths you could

take and all that but imagine if you did

not have gender dysphoria you're just a

kid and kids can be you know wildly

confused about lots of stuff it's not

gender dysphoria

so then suddenly you start teaching the

kids that they have a choice

well you know could go this way it could

go this way it doesn't matter what you

were born with you've got options

so according to Ai and this is not me so

this is not my opinion I'm telling you a

story about somebody

who got AI to say something so there are

no human opinions involved in any of

this this is ai's opinion

teaching kids transgenderism

causes

gender dysphoria

now independent of the the content of

the question of the answer

the bigger question is this what happens

when AI starts telling us things that

make sense

but disagree with what is acceptable and

appropriate and woke what are we going

to do

are we going to turn off the AI

we're going to call it a liar

are we going to say it's bigot AI is a

bigot

I think that's what's going to happen

prediction number two

AI will be labeled bigots

AI will be called a racist and a

misogynist

and probably anti-trans at some point

don't you think and and how in the world

could that be avoided

I don't see any way that can be avoided

because because humans call other humans

all these names you know big racist Etc

are they always right

how often does a human correct

when they call somebody else a racist in

the United States not often not often

but it's pretty rare it's just something

you say against political enemies mostly

now you don't think that that same

impulse will be used on AI

when AI starts telling you things you

don't like you're going to call it a

bigot and a racist and tell everybody to

stop listening to it

you're going to want to people are going

to try to cancel AI there I said it

humans will try to cancel AI for being

too bigoted

and it doesn't mean it will be bigoted

it might be it's been you know it's

trained by people so it probably is but

even if it's not

somebody's not going to like their

answer

and they're gonna say well that's

bigoted yeah I know you're just being an

AI and I know you're just doing what

you're programmed but that's so bigoted

so yeah we'll use uh that to limit AI

[Applause]

all right uh

how many of you want me to talk about

Stephen Crowder's divorce given that

he's talking about it publicly

I'm going to take a vote

I saw one yes but mostly no's

so mostly we should leave them alone

what do you say

just leave them alone to let it work out

your vote is

accepted

topic removed forever

from this live stream

the public has spoken

and by the way

I'm kind of proud of you I didn't know

why you would say than that I kind of

thought it would be closer to 50 50. but

I do like the fact that you have a very

high

it looks like 80 80 20 kind of thing at

least 90 10 maybe

well that is a really good statement

about all of you I have to say

so you're better people than I am

in many ways

All Right Moving On

The Washington Post which as you know

seems to like the Democrats better than

the Republicans have given Biden a

bottomless Pinocchio

uh apparently that's their worst rating

for lying the bottomless Pinocchio now

for context they gave Trump a lot of

bottomless pinocchios

and the the standard for the bottomless

Pinocchio which is the worst of all the

pinocchios bottomless the standard is

you have to say the same lie like a

whole bunch of times like 30 times or

something but if you say the whole lie

like a whole bunch of times that it's a

bottomless Pinocchio and uh Biden

apparently keeps going around saying

that he lowered the deficit by a record

1.7 trillion

a claim that the Washington Post Kessler

gave three pinocchios in September

so this is September when he started

saying it it was clearly not true

but it wasn't yet a bottomless Pinocchio

but he's he's now said it so many times

uh he said it 30 times since June

and there's just no truth to it at all

apparently apparently it's so untrue

that the story doesn't even bother to

say why he says it like well he's

counting this but not that it just feels

like it's just some shitty made up that

he just says it

and apparently uh

as far as I can tell Democrats believe

him

because uh I was joking the other day

that some CNN said

that Biden will try to distract from his

age as an issue by talking about the

economy

and I just laughed I go really you're

going to distract from your bad feature

your age by talking about your worst

feature how you handle the economy and I

couldn't even believe anybody would say

that unless they were joking I actually

tweeted it as a joke

like without any change I just thought

oh that's just so funny just the way it

is without anything added

I just thought it was funny that

somebody thought they should distract to

make us look at his economy

and then I find out

he's been telling people mostly his own

crowd I guess that he's been lowering

the deficit by 1.7 trillion

because if that were real wouldn't you

think he did a good job

I mean that would be kind of impressive

because the thing I'm worried about the

most is the deficit he says he lowered

it

if he really lowered the deficit by 1.7

trillion that would be the one of the

greatest accomplishments of any

president but he didn't do anything like

that he just lied about it because he's

old

not because he's a little bit because

he's a liar

all right so I guess he'll be running on

his record of honesty against Trump

again

it still blows my mind

that somebody thinks he's the honest one

Joe Biden he's like one of the most

famous Liars in all of politics now

Trump would be the other one of course

but the fact that anybody thinks that

one of them is the honest one of you

know Trump versus Biden

yeah pick the one who passes all the

fact checking

they're exactly the same

those two are exactly the same they

don't tell the truth about anything if

there's a you know better story

and this again is why I tell you I we

need the country needs a debate between

uh Vivek ramaswamy and RFK Jr

not because they have a huge chance of

becoming president at the moment things

could change

things could change quickly actually

but because they both have a history of

not being Liars now you can argue that

they've been wrong about stuff

I'm not arguing that they've been right

about everything I'm just saying that

there's no evidence that they've

intentionally just told a bottomless

Pinocchio there's no bottomless

Pinocchio is happening with those two

so let's see him talk let's see him

let's see him figure out what's true and

what isn't

all right um

so now doctors are using AI

to craft draft responses and save time

this is one of the best uses of AI that

I've seen yet

so when somebody writes to their doctor

which is common on email as soon as the

email goes as soon as the doctor goes to

respond AI gives types out the draft

response in the email

because most stuff is is common somebody

will say hey I think I have an ear

infection

what should I do well you don't

necessarily need them to come in for

you know to to check them out in person

so you might say something like well

here's a prescription for this and use

it three times a day and get back to me

in a week if it doesn't work

so that all appears in the email and

then the doctor skims it goes oh yeah

that's what I was going to say boop

it's kind of amazing kind of amazing

so

but uh apparently AI was tested

by real doctors to see if it could give

as answers that are as good as doctors

and what the doctors judge was that the

AI was actually better

than human doctors already

but this makes me ask the following

question

how do humans judge an intelligence

that's smarter than they are

at the moment

they probably can

because if it makes like an obvious

mistake you know it tells you to take a

drug too much or something that'd be

obvious

but what happens in just a little bit of

time maybe a year when the AI doctor is

unambiguously better than human doctors

but the human doctors will be the ones

who decide how good it is right because

they will test they'll test the AI

against their own knowledge and opinions

what happens if they don't match

well in today's world I mean literally

just today if they don't match the

doctor still wins

and the doctors give him no that's not

it I I overrule you and everybody thinks

that's probably a good idea

but what happens when there's just no

question just no question that AI has

higher accuracy than human doctors it's

less than a year away

that's going to happen

well then the doctor tries to overrule

it

should they

do you want your doctor to overrule the

AI if you know the AI is better than the

doctor

so this is where I'm predicting that AI

will be capped

in some areas we will not want AI to be

smarter than us

after it is murdered us

so we're going to treat it like we treat

humans

if you let's say you go into a debate uh

uh let's use real people

let's say a dumb person goes into a

debate

with Ben Shapiro a famous smart person

in the real world Ben Shapiro would

annihilate the less intelligent

competitor in any kind of a debate I

mean it would just be a you know

Slaughter

but what is this person who got

slaughtered a hypothetical person who

gets slaughtered in their debate against

Ben Shapiro say about it

do they say

to me apart in front of a big crowd of

people who all agree he ripped me apart

does anybody ever say that

nope no they think they won

if Ben Shapiro just shredded you in

front of a huge crowd of people who all

agreed that he shredded you you would

still walk away saying you know I think

it was a tie

or or I think I actually won because you

know the crowd was just on his side or

something like that so we're going to do

the same thing with AI when AI just

destroys us with his better arguments we

humans are going to say no you got that

one wrong

I I think my opinion actually is better

than that

if I'm if I'm being honest I I see all

your smart a I answer but no I think I

think my answer is a little bit more on

the Mark if you know what I mean

so AI will certainly be gated by our own

intelligence

um

cities are starting to convert their uh

empty or office spaces into residential

space

now they're doing it in Boston Seattle

and some other places but

I don't understand how it's going to

work in a city that's a crime infested

toilet

who's going to want to move into a city

just because they can

it feels like the very worst

thing for some cities so

my prediction is the cities that are you

know let's say red states are red red

local government

the Republicans I think probably are

good on crime

so if you were moving into a an office

building that had been converted in a

in a red City

it might be a great great thing imagine

living in a high-rise in the middle of

the city the city you want to live in

and you've got a like a full gym

like not just a little crappy one like

they have with a you know some apartment

buildings they'll give you like a little

crappy gem but like like a serious full

gym

and then you've got you know all these

windows looking out at the at the

scenery you've got security because it's

a you know probably Security in the

lobby

um

I feel like it would be a really good

lifestyle you can imagine one one floor

being food and Starbucks and places

where people can take their laptop and

stuff

and meet other people I think it'd be

kind of Awesome

but it's got to be the right City

so apparently that will be the

um the thing that these commercial

properties you're going to do to try to

save themselves now the the good news is

sport local coffee shops well it would

be a local coffee shop it would be right

into your building it could literally be

Starbucks or you're saying you don't

want it all right I get it

um I love Starbucks too much too

to uh to be on your side of that all

right

um did you you've probably heard the

story from before

there's a Palestinian Mickey Mouse

so they've got some kind of character

that does a TV show for kids that's just

a knockoff of Mickey Mouse but it's the

Palestinian version and

this was the story from today

the Hamas TV on Friday

um they did the last episode of the show

called far four

and their Mickey Mouse character

uh who is now called Mickey Mouse it's

something else

either he preaches Islamic domination

and armed struggle to youngsters

in the final skit uh the oh far four is

the name of the mouse uh farfer was

beaten to death by an actor posing as an

Israeli official trying to buy four

Four's land

laughs

the Palestinian children's programming

needs some work

Palestinian children are watching a

giant mouse being beaten to death by an

Israeli official tried to buy his land

and at one point the giant mouse called

4-4 calls the Israeli a terrorists

and then and then he was martyred

defending his land

oh man it must be tough to be a kid

over there

oh they grow up so fast

all right

I'm only laughing because it's so

horrible right like it

so

so somebody says it's not funny no it is

funny it's funny because it's so beyond

the realm of appropriate behavior or

acceptable behavior it's just crazy

all the news is just people going too

far that's too far

the bride magazine with the hairy bride

that's too far

you know if they just stuck with a a

trans woman

who did a great job of looking like a

biologically born woman

well that wouldn't be too far in 2023

that'd be sort of ordinary actually

but but bride magazine had to go too far

they had to they they had to put a yeti

on the cover

and this is too far too

back in 2014 San Francisco schools

dropped eighth grade Algebra because uh

they wanted to reduce inequities because

apparently some people weren't doing

well in algebra so their solution was to

just stop it just stop doing that

and it turns out that the the parents

are organizing to get it back

do you know why they're organizing to

get um

to get

algebra back into eighth grade

because they thought the school went too

far too far now it's just too far taking

taking it away frankly so we're trying

to get it back they don't want to be the

laughing stock for being you know one of

the places that doesn't teach a basic

course to kids

now personally I don't know how much

algebra helps you

unless you're going on to stem and some

other high-end stuff

so I don't know I'm somewhere in the

middle of this I think the the highest

achieving students should have access to

it

but I don't think I just don't think

algebra helps the average person do you

now I I can honestly say I have used

algebra as an adult how many of you

could say that

I I've used algebra in my day job

I think I've used it in my cartooning

work

yeah yeah usually just simple stuff you

know solving for a variable right yeah

just solve me for a variable usually

so

I would say I do use it but if I'd never

learned it it wouldn't have made that

much of a difference I mean it didn't

really change the course of my life or

anything it was just sort of a handy

little tool to have I'm sure AI could

have done it for me

do you think you would need algebra in a

world of AI

nope no you'll never you'll never use

basic algebra in a world of AI because

you'll just pick up your phone

and you'll say

um solve for x with 2X equals you know

three Y and Y equals this

you'll you'll just tell the machine to

do it of course you'd have to be smart

enough to know it's a

it's a formula

yeah maybe we do need a little algebra a

little bit of algebra for the people who

are going on to some types of careers

would be good

all right

um

Kansas passed the law

that you

foreign

this feels too far too

uh Kansas passed a law that trans people

can't use the

um I guess if you're going to use the

woman's restroom

in Kansas and after I don't know in a

few months or something when the law

goes into effect you have to have

ovaries

say I think the ovaries is where they

decided to draw the line if you were not

born with ovaries

then you'd have to use the male bathroom

I guess now of course it's what you're

born with so hysterectomies are not

irrelevant questions while you were born

with

um

what do you think of that

and I'm wondering what happens if you

were uh

let's say a trans woman and you went

into a woman's restroom

and somebody complained

would you have to prove you do or do not

have ovaries

or would people just admit it so you

wouldn't have to prove it

how does anybody know if you have

ovaries

can they tell just by looking at you I

guess the guy the the the the person

they put on bride magazine you could

tell

but I don't know if you could always

tell

I don't know we'll see how this law

works I would like to add to the trans

bathroom issue that their natural

Alliance would be with

their natural Alliance would be with

people who have pyreesis

shy bladder

as I've mentioned way too many times

there are a number of people and I'm one

of them who can't use public restrooms

because our bodies just don't just won't

do it you can force yourself to like be

there and

you know trying to do it but your body

just won't do it if there are people

around it's it's a sort of a

psychological condition mostly

but

those people

and I'm one of them so I can say those

people in this case

um really really need an option where

there's just a single single bathroom

option

so if you added all the trans people of

which there are more every day and then

you add that to the people who are sort

of coming out of the water closet as

they like to say the people who had shy

bladder

is that not enough

and then maybe there's some other some

other things you throw in there is that

maybe and maybe handicapped as well so

maybe there are uh at least three

categories of people who

legitimately

um for reasons that everybody would

agree maybe they need a little extra

privacy

so I don't I think I would disagree with

making it some kind of a requirement

I wouldn't make it a requirement

but

it would be nice to have a third option

for a variety of people for a variety of

reasons no children yeah

that's that's another good one because

isn't it creepy

um when I when I belong to a gym which I

don't know

but what I belong to a gym and I would

see fathers bring their

five-year-old daughters into the men's

locker room and the men are standing

there bought naked and there's this

little five-year-old girl who can walk

and talk and she's just hanging around

in the middle of it like to me that was

just too far like I wasn't comfortable

with it but wouldn't it be nice

yeah if I if a father and a young

daughter could have their privacy as

well

so

might be other reasons for that

all right is there any big story I

missed

any big story I missed

the any other famous people die since I

started

um

oh Elon yeah

so Elon Musk went on Bill Maher and I

thought it was going to make a bunch of

news

but I don't think it did

because they just agreed with each other

that the woke mind virus is bad and

getting canceled is bad and free speech

is good

so and and it sounded like Bill Maher

was very Pro musk in terms of you know

what he does as an entrepreneur and as a

citizen of the country it's all very

impressive

um

Bill still believes the Russian

collusion hoax I don't think he does

uh

margin degree just stayed quiet

so I couldn't as I said I couldn't

stream it because my technology just

decided I can't use my apps for reasons

I don't understand

now let's see if I've rebooted my phone

well apparently I didn't

I was going to play that Kamala Harris

I've all talked about so there's a AI of

Kamal Harris

in which they started with a speech

where she did the crazy talk about time

and the passage of time must be

contextualized in the current time

versus the passage of time you know that

thing

so they turned it into a longer

rambling thing and they made her sound

drunk well

now

it was so good

that yeah the only reason I know it's

fake is that I saw the original

I would imagine that was so good that

people would look at that and

not be able to tell

all right let me see if Twitter is

giving

is Twitter doesn't work on my phone I'm

just going to throw it in the

ocean all right it's working

apparently had to reboot my phone just

to use the app

so let me play it for you here I swear

this will be worth waiting for you're

gonna love it

all right

today's today

and yesterday was today yesterday

tomorrow will be today tomorrow so even

her face is a little drunk today

[Laughter]

today's today

and yesterday was today yesterday

tomorrow will be today tomorrow

so live today

this is the future today will be as the

past

today

as it is tomorrow

today's today

and yesterday was today yesterday

tomorrow will be today

oh God

all right

so there's a new embarrassing uh video

of her loving Venn diagrams I was

watching on Hannity a clip where they

showed all the times that she screamed

her love of Venn diagrams and giggled

uncontrollably

and it's really cringy to to watch it

all together because it always starts

with and I'm going to talk about Venn

diagrams have I told you how much I love

I love Venn diagrams I know you're

laughing but I love them I love that Van

Dyke of you know the three circles you

know you could put anything in a Venn

diagram anything

a yellow school bus with Wi-Fi you can

put it in a Venn diagram

and it just looks crazy

but it also looks inebriated

it looks inebrained

and whoever did this AI effort talking

about time

obviously he thought it looked

inebriated enough that the parody would

be her fully inebriated

now

the mainstream the mainstream media is

completely avoiding

the obvious are they not

is it not obvious that she's either

inebriated or she acts like somebody who

is

I mean I I don't know if she's a knee

brain but isn't it obvious that she's

acting like she is

how do you ignore that

I mean seriously how do you ignore that

of all things because I think even I

think even the media on the right is

ignoring it

do they think it's that she's not

inebriated

do you think the big opinion people on

the right don't see it

am I the only one that thinks she acts

like it and again I don't know

it could be natural

but if you saw anybody else acting like

that you would assume they were drunk

wouldn't you

yeah

maybe she's got a microbe that makes her

love Venn diagrams

excellent callback I wish I thought of

that excellent callback

uh you think I planted that idea

I don't know

maybe but I think other people would see

it right well let me ask you

if if you had not heard it from me if

you had never heard of me never heard

anything I ever said about anything ever

would any of you have on your own said

she looks drunk

anybody

it's not just because I influenced you

right yeah I'm seeing lots of people say

yes she looks she looks at

or so inebriated in some way right

how do we ignore that

I mean really all right I'm going to

make a prediction

within the next

month

there will be notable pundits on the

right who will expressly say that she's

acting inebriated

what do you say now I think it would be

way too far if they said she's drunk

because we don't know that

we only know she acts like one

and that part we can confirm because

that's our opinion right well I've seen

drugs and I've seen her

and they sort of look the same to me

yeah I think in one month you'll see

people calling her inebriated

you might even see a Democrat do it if

they really really need to get rid of

her

all right now I tweeted uh

that to me it's obvious and I wondered

if Democrats now

that the reason that Biden is running

for a re-election at this age

it's a variety of reasons you know it's

not just one reason

but I think the biggest one is to

protect Hunter and the rest of the

family maybe his brother too

don't you

I don't think there's any way in the

world that a man his age and as

obviously

let's say

affected by age

I don't think there's any way he would

he would run just for political reasons

or just for personal reasons I mean you

know ambition

I don't think it's ambition

I don't think it's to prove a point

I don't think it's anything except it's

the best way to protect his family as

long as possible because he might think

that as soon as he's out of office

Hunter goes to jail

which is possible

it's very possible

now some people said but Scott that's

stupid because uh Joe Biden could just

pardon Hunter and anybody else he wanted

to Pardon and then there's no risk

do you believe that

no because first of all he can only

pardon Federal offenses

right so only Federal offenses and I

assume there's going to be some State

gun charge or something in there sooner

or later

uh

and what would that look like

politically if Biden

um

the Democrats and the left-leaning press

that ever had happened in their life

because they would have to explain why

you gave a

uh why you'd why you'd want to clear

somebody who had not been convicted or

something

right it would look it would make Hunter

look completely guilty at the same time

it would look make Joe Biden look

completely guilty secondly do you think

there's any chance that he would pardon

Hunter sort of preemptively

uh without partying himself

or having his vice president pardon him

you know once once the vice president is

uh takes over the office

I don't think so

because if he asked for a pardon himself

again the public is going to say that's

guilty

so somehow he has to get out of office

with his family not in jail

without the stigma of a pardon now the

pardon is still an option

but can you imagine how much he doesn't

want to do that because it's basically a

confession of guilt the the public would

see it as a confession of guilt am I

wrong

the public would see it as guilt right

it is pretty rare to give somebody a

pardon for something then they didn't do

and you know for sure they didn't do it

because Biden knows for sure what

happened he knows for sure what's true

so do you give a pardon

yeah no everybody would everybody would

just assume that he figured he would be

in trouble without the pardon

uh

okay

all right

we already know on the guilt

um I saw somebody who follows the news

on the left

who believes that

[Music]

um

the Democrats have seen no evidence that

Biden did anything wrong with any of the

dealings with Hunter

do you think that's true

I think it is true

no I I think that the average Democrat

is now seeing anything close to news on

that topic

well thank you Emil

all right

uh

yeah even if even if let's say let's

speculate if Hunter Biden didn't pay his

taxes on any of his gains from his

overseas activities

the he would be guilty for federal taxes

but also state taxes so even if he got

pardoned for all the federal stuff he'd

still have to deal with state state

taxation

can someone tell you what Hunter's been

charged with the answer is nothing and

that's the point

the point is he hasn't been charged

the evidence that he should be charged

is

somewhat massive

but I'm also very interested in if

there's a taxation issue if there's a

taxation issue and it's gone this far

I would say that it's pretty clear that

there's something he didn't declare

do you think that's fair to say

if the IRS has an extended and extended

investigation

it's because there's something that's

not on his taxes as it should be right

or there's some deduction that shouldn't

be there but I think more likely it's

something that didn't show up for

example isn't there a story about him

receiving a diamond

that he says he lost

is that true

because if it's true

he has to pay taxes on receiving the

diamond

and it and he gets no benefit for losing

it

if you make some money and then it

catches on fire in your house and it

burns up your money's just gone

yeah it's just gone

yeah so you can imagine there's a whole

bunch of sketchy situations where he

said in public

or was did he say it I believe he said

that he did receive a diamond and lost

it

am I remembering that wrong can you

confirm that

you can confirm that right

the diamond could have been insured but

almost certainly wasn't do you know why

because things like diamonds have to be

specifically mentioned in insurance

here's what you can't do with your

insurance company hey insurance company

I lost a 75 000 diamond

how do we know you ever have it

oh

and there's your insurance yeah uh and I

can speak from in from experience so if

you buy an expensive wedding ring and

you don't take a picture of it and send

the documentation to your insurance

carrier you know if it's a real

expensive one uh they won't cover it

they're just going to say you didn't

tell us you had it

so the expensive stuff that's easy to

steal and easy to lose you have to tell

them or it's not covered

yeah so do you believe that uh as soon

as Hunter

this you know drug down guy as soon as

he received this diamond do you think

the first thing he did was tell his

insurance company hey I got an extra

diamond

I don't think so

no

no so I don't think it was covered by

insurance I'm not exactly sure it was

lost you know what I mean

like I doubt it was lost

maybe he just doesn't want to tell you

who he gave it to he maybe he gave it to

a hooker or something

so

yeah maybe it could be lost I suppose he

lost two laptops so he could lose a

diamond he's a he would he was drugged

down enough to lose a diamond

it was the only rock he couldn't smoke

a boom

he lost it on Jeweler's row

Mecca bouse

all right I think we've covered all the

big stories today better than

anything you're ever going to see in the

rest of your life

he didn't actually lose it somebody says

all right

uh YouTube thanks for joining

and I will see you tomorrow same place

same time

best live stream ever
