Episode 2182 Scott Adams - UFOs, Hunter, Trump Indictments, Lots More Fun

fix a little technical problem over in the locals platform but looks like the locals platform is better than a door nail today I'll try it one more time hey he's looking better not so much well we're uh we're having a terrible time here technically normally I'd be halfway through the simultaneous sip but it looks like we got nothing today so we'll be closing up closing up locals and open it up on my phone which should work but we'll see watch me scramble to make all this work while you wait wishing there was actually a show going on yeah it looks like locals is dead all right today it's all you it's all you today would you like to start from the beginning good morning would you like to take this experience up to levels that you don't even believe are possible yes you do and all you need for that is a cupboard mugger gloss a tanker Chelsea style in the canteen chocolate flaska vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamines of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go that's good stuff all right ladies and gentlemen have you seen any news today well there's news all over the place it's like news happening like you can't even believe it but uh let's go through it so the Wall Street Journal is saying that the economy grew by 2.4 percent we'll talk about Hunter and UFOs and stuff but it'll take a minute for all the locals people to give up and come over here sorry um but what I thought was interesting about this is it's good news that the economy is doing well but the headline was uh U.S economic growth defies a slow down expectations whose expectations whose expectations because this was my prediction so I would like to add to my most accurate political predictions and most accurate pandemic predictions and most accurate Ukraine predictions the most accurate economic tradition because I actually said we would not go into a recession there we go remember I told you I I was all excited preliminarily yesterday about this story that researchers had made a room temperature superconductor do you remember that story took about 10 minutes for people to crap all over it and say well let's wait to see if anybody can reproduce this and there's something sketchy going on and so I would say that all of my optimism about superconductivity completely gone completely gone yeah it doesn't sound like it's real but I would love to be surprised so don't wait for any room temperature superconductivity it might be as likely as UFOs well there's a new photo of uh uh Wagner leader progosian allegedly in Russia and he's just shaking hands with some African guy who's visiting so that's true right pregosian's fine he's just hanging out hanging out in Russia sure yeah there was a even CNN reported that they reported that there was a picture of him they didn't report to use the library thing they just said there's a picture of him which is fair and uh does anybody want to think that he's still free and just doing his own thing he's just driving his RV around St.

Petersburg no no he's not driving his RV around the CPS he's certainly in uh if he's alive he's certainly controlled by Putin at this point um did you read it in the news that it was the warmest summer how many of you think we had the warmest summer because of climate change the news said so well it may be it might actually be the warmest summer but I'd like to give you a Counterpoint which doesn't it doesn't necessarily refute everything you've heard but it gives you context so here's some better context from Alex Epstein uh you said anyone comment uh commentating responsibly on summer temperatures must acknowledge four facts all right see if you agree with these four facts cold related deaths are much greater than he related to us do you know that that the number of people who died because it's too cold is way higher than the number of people who die because it's warm so in theory you could imagine that depending on where it got warmer it would save lives right so as the cold places got warmer but the places that are already hot didn't get warmer or didn't get much warmer we'd be better off wouldn't we well and then then the reverse would be true if the hot places got hotter and the cool places got colder that probably would be worse um but according to Alex Earth is warming slowly and less in warm places oh so that's good so the warming is more concentrated in the cold places which should save lives um fossil fuels number three fossil fuels make us safer from dangerous temperatures yeah what would you do if you didn't have fossil fuels wouldn't you be more exposed to what the weather can do if you can't sit in your car or eat your house and um anti-fossil fuel policies increase the danger from cold indeed well that makes sense if fossil fuels protect you from temperature extremes then not having them would make you less safe so I think a lot of this turns on these two points it's better to be warmer than cold and it's um and it's not warming as much in the places that are already warm now this is my problem with averages if somebody told you that the average temperature the Earth was going up that's pretty scary right but what if they told you that it's warming up in the places that are too cold and the places that are already hot nobody lives there because it's a desert anyway for example now that's the extreme that's I'm exaggerating the effect here but uh that's your counter argument so I'm not saying that the warming the warming is not a problem I don't know might be but we're pretty good at dealing with that kind of problem all right here's a quiz for you and the answer is not 25 percent all right I'm going to see I can see if you can get this right you know put on your thinking gaps all right there was a article by Katie mogg in the Wall Street Journal and apparently there's a trend called the hashtag lazygirljob and a lazy girl job would be defined as a job often you could work at home you don't put in too many hours it might be an online kind of thing you don't make that much money but you make enough especially if you live with your boyfriend or something so apparently it's this big old trend um to have a job that you can just sort of pay the rent but you're not looking to kill you know kill it this would be the opposite of leaning in this would be like sleeping in so apparently leaning in has turned into sleeping in uh but that's not the question here's the question this phenomenon has been growing lately and it's racked up close to 18 million views on a particular social media Network go Which social media Network well just a hypothetic well what would be a social media Network that would encourage working age humans in the United States do not work hard but maybe not send that same message to let's say China what what would be what would be a platform that would do that I mean who would tell Americans to be lazier because it's awesome while not telling Chinese citizens to be lazy because it's not awesome who would do that the answer is tick tock are you surprised oh big surprise a trend that's really bad for Americans seems to be running on Tick Tock which does not run in the same form in China so why are people talked into being trans if they never thought of it in their life before Tick Tock but not in China they don't run it there and why are people told to not work so hard well it doesn't happen in China and what is uh what's Congress looking at this week the fact that it's obvious that we have a brainwashing technology that's been inserted in the phone of every Young American or we have a hearing on that today no no it's about aliens UFOs because it's summer and you don't talk about real stuff in the summer you fool let's talk about UFOs as you know the Congress had some hearings about whether the government has secret UFOs that they're keeping from us and I don't know about you but after listening to some of the testimony about the UFOs I'm left with more questions than answers more questions than answers here are some of the questions I have how much money did Hunter get from the UFOs I assume you shall come down I just don't know how much money he made there's no reporting on that number two are we using this Advanced alien technology that we have to make video cameras for the White House that can't see Hunter yeah Special technology the security cameras can see everybody except Hunter he's just invisible on camera and most importantly number three how many aliens are in Trump's boxes must be a few because one thing we know is that we can't be told what's in the boxes I can't think of anything else that they wouldn't tell us because anything else they could tell us am I right they could tell us in a general way again let me give you example if Trump's boxes of Secrets had attack plans for Iran we would hear that they just wouldn't tell us the details if there were nuclear secrets we would hear that they just wouldn't tell us the actual Secrets right if he had boxes that were full of let's say sensitive conversations with a foreign adversary or for an ally or maybe some something that we'd found about a foreign adversary we would have heard that we just wouldn't hear the details of it right what's the one thing that could be in the boxes that even the government wouldn't even say anything about aliens aliens there have to be aliens in the boxes because it's the only thing they wouldn't want to say anything about otherwise they would just say well yes he hasn't we just can't tell you the details but they can't tell you that they do have aliens they just don't want to tell you which ones see they can't tell you that okay I'm joking if you can't tell if you can't tell I'm joking I'm joking all right um Elon Musk weighed in on a Andrew Tate tweet um then Tate was talking about you know men who sleep with a lot of women and vice versa and musk tweeted to that he said to sleep with women endlessly without love is a cursed and hollow life well if you were not already aiding Elon Musk for being the richest person in the world can you he can you hate him now for apparently knowing the answer to this question how you feel when you have slept with endless women without love it didn't sound like he was guessing I feel like if you're the richest man in the world and you're unmarried you have experienced sleeping with endless women without love I think that's probably what a Tuesday looks for him looks like for him sending number three make sure there's no love so we hate him for knowing the answer to that question what does it feel like to have sex with endless women you know but but I'm glad that he did it so we don't have to do it am I right guys are you glad that Elon Musk told us what it feels like to sleep with endless women without love because I was going to go out and do it I had plans for the week I was like you know what I'm going to do this week I haven't tried this before but I'm gonna try having endless sex with women who don't love me see what it's all about but then I would have found out it was cursed in all her life and so I'm glad that must did it so I don't have to but there is something left out of this analysis they're sleeping with women endlessly without love is a cursed and hollow life how does it compare to being married to one person I mean I think that's the valid comparison I would agree with them that maybe it isn't you know a cursed and hollow life but how does it compare to the alternative you know what is the worst advice anybody ever gave the worst advice is Follow Your Passion you know you know what the second worst advice is find a find a good mate it's the worst device anybody's ever given find a good mate you know one that will make your life better and do you know why that's the worst advice in the world because I'm no expert I'm not a marriage expert I'm just going to put this out there see you can do with it what you will I'm almost positive that a hundred percent of people who get married think they picked the right one do you have a different feeling about that are there a lot of people getting married saying you know this mate I picked is total but I just feel like getting married no I believe that everybody enters an illusion in which they figure that whatever flaws the other person has they'll they'll work it out and there are no new flaws there won't be any new ones you've seen everything there is to see and so that therefore a reasonable and a smart person using good judgment can go out and find a good solid mate and have a solid life because of it now some of you say it was cut you idiot you idiot there are plenty of examples I mean maybe it's not over 50 percent of the population but there are plenty of plenty of examples of people who looked and they found the right person are you going to tell me that would you would you like to tell me that there are many examples you've seen it yourself many of you are the example where the the correct mate which you wisely and with your good judgments and your free will you chose that good mate and because of your good choice things are better for you how many years raise your hand if you're in that category you were you wisely picked the right mate and it totally worked out for you go how many of you so and there and therefore would be a good technique right yeah all right does anybody see what's wrong with your analysis do I have to be the first one to tell you you see what's wrong with the analysis all right you take a million people and you randomly pair them with each other just randomly would some of them uh have happy marriages just randomly paired what do you say of course they would of course they would yeah suppose you had an AI match people would you know if you had a million of them would some of them have amazing marriages I think so I think so yeah does that does that indicate that you can choose the right mate because lots of people have done it Alexa cancel I don't know what that was all about but so so would you say that the evidence is there there are plenty of examples of people who consciously and this is the important part they were consciously looking for a good mate they found one they lived their whole life happy that they found one and that's proof that it's a good idea would you agree with that statement is basically solid well maybe not proof in a scientific sense but it's very solid solid evidence because you know lots of people you personally know lots of people who put the effort in found somebody and it worked and it worked their whole life and they were really happy about it right that's not that's not really thinking what you're doing there there's no there's no sense of reason or logic to that whatsoever it's just the law of big numbers if you have a lot of people doing something somebody's going to win that's it that's the whole story if a lot of people are doing a thing some of them are going to get lucky every time not sometimes every time so what would you imagine would be the rate of people getting lucky that would indicate his luck versus something that would indicate it's a solid plan well let me give you an example another solid plan would be if you wanted a good life you would stay in the jail you'd learn some skills uh you know you'd basically stay off drugs do some things how often does that keep you from being poor if you do those few simple things that anybody can do it's hard but anybody can do it and the answer is almost no poor people in that group if you you know build skills go to school stay in a jail do the basics pretty much all of you are successful what's the success rate for picking a spouse now remember you've got to you you're not discounting the people who get divorced you have to include the people who stayed married but kind of wish they hadn't right so so marriage is more of a maybe I'd say a 25 success rate if you talk about your whole life 25 percent does 25 percent sound like chance or the result of people who knew exactly what they were doing they knew exactly what a good mate would look like and they went out and tried to get one does it look like that have you ever noticed that people tend to marry the people they work with what are the odds you met your soulmate at work it's mostly where people meet people right the thing we know of people about people is that they can fall in love with whoever's around would you agree with that statement we're not looking for our soulmate among the 8 billion people on earth we easily fall in love with whoever's nearby just proximity seems to be enough so do you how many of the people who just fell in love because they happen to be in the proximity of another person who is willing to you know say yes how many of them are a good match it would be kind of weird if they were so I would say that 25 success rate of picking the right mate and making it last a lifetime could be a little more could be a little less it's definitely not over 50 percent so what kind of advice is it to give somebody advice that could not work more than half the time is that a solid advice advice that will not work at least half of the time I would call that bad advice because you do not have a mechanism or the capability to pick a good mate now I suppose there's some really super obvious stuff like you know somebody who's been in and out of jail their entire life and it was no intention of stopping crying I wouldn't marry that person right but I don't think that's what anybody's talking about I think most people are looking at average looking people and saying I think that's my person I think that's the one that will work but it's not because they're so smart or they knew how to pick a good person yeah no I think it's pure magical thinking that you can pick the right person that said that said you should try as hard as you can to pick the right person I'm just saying it's magical thinking to think that's some kind of formula for Success it's not something you should try to do but you really don't know how to do it nobody does uh because it's mostly luck all right um there's yet another announcement about AI movies and now this Gen 2 I don't know if it's hn or Gen 2 or whatever it is but there's some new AI that can make movies make an entire movie just from some prompts um here's my prediction about movies made by AI do you know why I don't watch television right now besides the fact the content is bad is because there are so many streaming services and each one takes a lot of effort to make it work on any given day like I've got streaming services that work on some some devices but not others I could probably fix that but I sometimes I just want to watch a show so I'll just go to the other streaming device so I've got all these streaming devices and as I've said many times instead of watching content which is what I used to do now I just look for content and I'm sure that there's something better I haven't found yet and then I never watch any content so the amount of content made watching content impractical would you agree you understand what I'm saying right it's like going to The Cheesecake Factory and they've got the 50 page menu and you're sitting there with somebody who's not good at making decisions about food it's don't go to The Cheesecake Factory door Dash do not go there with somebody who's not good with decisions you're going to be there a long time yeah would you like to see my impression of going to The Cheesecake Factory vegetarian page all right see a fish vegetarian I'll do the same thing I did last time good and decision mate and here's me for the rest of the 15 minutes that's me eating at the Cheesecake Factory with anybody um so where was I going on that oh AI movies I think when AI can make movies everybody's going to make an AI movie would you agree the moment you can make a movie just by typing in some text there's going to be so many AI movies how are you ever going to watch anything do you think any of these AI movies are going to be good probably not I mean it's based on human patterns and only want to have you know a thousand movies are good so it's not going to be better than one in a thousand but you know it's going to be different there will be a billion of them right when you go to look for a movie there will be a billion a billion movies like actually a billion and how many of those will be good maybe none maybe one in a thousand how long are you going to look for the good ones how much time are you going to spend looking for the good one now here's even like a deeper a deeper analysis of this uh years ago I made the mistake of trying to become a script writer for movies so I was going to make a Dilbert movie and I you know read some books and studied up on the structure of scripts unfortunately that process ruined movies for me forever because once you know how a script has to be written in order to make it onto the screen you realize it's a formula and if you don't use the formula you're not going to get it made nobody's going to fund it because they need the formula that's what works but once you see the formula and you're like oh it's a three-act play I get it this is the First Act we have to go through somebody got hurt something bad happened all right then third act so and then you know that the B plot interferes with the a plot you know that anything you see that's called out the First Act has to be important in the last act or else they wouldn't call it on the First Act and once you see the whole process and the the structure it doesn't look like art anymore and when it stops looking like art it loses all of its punch so I would say that and other people have had the same experience I've talked to them the moment you can see the gears you you lose all your love of the movies I don't know how people make movies make make movies and watch them because they just should know too much maybe they watch them for a different reason to see how well they're made or something I don't know but once there are tons of AI mu movies and they're all using the same formulas that humans use and there's billions of them I think this will destroy movies as an art form I just don't think movies will be a thing reels might be a thing but not movies and of course when I say that is more like radio you know radio lasted forever even though television was supposed to get rid of it so there will be probably some AI movies and other movies but you know movies as a major cultural phenomenon should shrink to a niche all right uh Democrats really don't like free speech you know everybody says that but when you see these numbers it's shocking so Pew research or the Pew group or wherever there found that Democrats and Democrat leading Independents are much more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to support the U.S government taking steps to restrict false information now this isn't just free speech it's specifically about false information so 70 percent of Democrats and leaning Democrats think the government should restrict what is in their opinion false information and 39 of Republicans say the same so before any of you Republicans get all feeling good about yourself 39 percent of Republicans think the government should restrict bad information really how did we get to this place you see the problem is that this requires somebody to know what information is good as soon as you you say somebody's going to be the judge of what good information is and what's bad information you're dead you are so dead if you let somebody decide for you what's true you cannot live in that world that is the end that's the end of the Republic how do 70 percent of uh Democrats and 39 percent of Republicans not know that allowing the government to tell you what's true would be the end of the Republic how do they not know that what's going wrong here and my best guess is at least with the Democrats is that they've been so propagandized that Republicans are are putting out bad information that they can't see that their own information is bad as well is that what's happening would you say that the propaganda makes them think that the only bad information is coming from their enemies they don't understand that the bad information is coming from inside the house as they still don't know it even after the pandemic think about that even after the pandemic when we've learned almost everything the government told us was a known lie they weren't just wrong they knew they were lying and yet the Democrats 70 percent of them somehow are not influenced by the fact that we know the government lied to us massively not only about that but everything from the laptop to you name it and and that doesn't have an influence seventy percent of the Democrat leaders and Democrats are not influenced by recent events they still want somebody to tell them what's true or more importantly to tell the other side what's true here's here's my take on this I think this is I think that it's just a team play response I think that when people answered the question they were answering as Democrats uh well I would like my enemies not to talk as much I think that's what it is but if you ask them if you I think if you took any of these 70 percent and sat him down and said what I just had just the two of you talking not a poll say all right you know that both sides have put out bad information well yes that's true right and you know that if somebody in particular is in charge of telling you what's true you know that you're in big trouble right yeah that's true I mean I don't think anybody actually holds this opinion isn't that weird people are giving opinions they don't hold because they they think you probably have a Strategic Benefit I think so I think people are just asking the answering what would be a philosophical question I think they're answering it strategically partly what's happening all right um but is it more than just false information wouldn't you say that um there's also a suppression by the left of opinion don't you think that it's more than just what's true or what's false but that opinion is also being suppressed you know stuff that's clearly opinion because some of the opinion is about what's true and what's not true so you end up blocking opinion when you try to Black Block fact all right um now it might be just because there's so many Democrats who are unable to speak in coherent sentences you got your commonly Harris your Joe Biden your fetamine your Senator Feinstein Feinstein who actually can't communicate anymore but now we can add to that Mitch Mc.

Connell if you saw Mitch Mc.

Connell's tragic press announcement and he stood there and actually couldn't speak and he looked like he was having some kind of an event in his head uh he apparently can speak so he did because he did come back but he's in bad shape so by my count that is five major members of our government who can't form sentences is that right tell me I'm wrong there are four elected people who are really prominent these are not minor people these are prominent politicians Kamala Harris Joe Biden uh fetterman Feinstein and now Mitch Mc.

Connell how's this okay how is this okay I mean really there's nobody who can tell Mitch Mc.

Connell it's it's time I'm uh I'm pretty disappointed in Republicans you know let me just say this if you're a Republican or a conservative and you've been saying that Joe Biden needs to step down because of age but you're not saying about Mitch Mc.

Connell then we can't take you seriously you're not a real serious person both of them need to step down like really soon yeah Grassley actually is weirdly Grassley seems pretty capable doesn't he relatively speaking but you know like you said he's close so yeah I mean the the team play here is just disgusting because none of these people would be in power if people were trying to pick good people right so picky a good mate is like picking a good politician you have every good intention of doing it but then you know there are reasons there are reasons why you gotta pick these bad ones and we're going to use those raisins speaking of bad ones um Adam Schiff was at Adam Schiff is so entertaining because he I don't know what's in his head but it seems that he must be aware that he can say anything and the News won't check him on his side you know only the Republicans will fact check him and nobody he doesn't care about them because his base and his voters will never see it so he said quote the Republican desire to impeach someone anyone no matter if there's any evidence just shows how they have descended into chaos right so the Republicans are crazy because they want to impeach the person who's in charge of the Border who's just letting everybody in that's crazy it's crazy to want to impeach somebody who's just not doing the job on a vital thing and of course the Biden stuff is just beyond the pale at this point so at the same time there might be a trump indictment today has there been any news yet on a trump indictment don't they usually happen in the morning can we say there will be no Trump indictment today am I wrong that they always happen in the morning or is that just me imagining it maybe I'm imagining that all right but we'll keep waiting that so I tweeted because I thought it was funny that uh the news today has UFOs and the possible Trump indictment uh that's got to tell you the Hunter's in trouble but then somebody pointed out to ruin my fund that the UFOs are that's all the Republican process so the Republicans are not trying to cover up any hunter stories but it is funny that we get these two flashy stories at the same time Hunter Hunter is in trouble all right coincidence anyway you all heard by now that hunter lost his sweetheart plea deal now I'm no lawyer so I'm going to give you the idiots version of what I understand about this so Hunter had this sweetheart deal worked out in which you would plead guilty to some minor stuff among a large bag of potential stuff that could have been even worse now that's unusual normally you would you know plead guilty to well let me take another tact on this so the idea was at least these smart people are saying that it seems to have been crafted explicitly to get Hunter off but more importantly to prevent anybody from ever finding out more information and the way they would do that is have a deal in which there's no trial so you don't have the discovery of the trial but moreover if the Press asks for asked questions they would still be able to say that the investigations are ongoing so somehow they were going to say we've made a deal and all the investigations are closed while also saying they're still open so we can't talk about it it was some weird situation that it was ridiculous on its surface and was really transparent even to the judge who overturned it because it seemed obvious this this was so non-standard it could only be put together for the purpose of protecting Hunter could not have been done in any reasonable person's opinion for any kind of Justice or you know normal process that another person would go through so here's my big question is this going to unravel everything will everything become Delight now because if Hunter can be prosecuted doesn't that open up the the ability to investigate everything related to it which would necessarily include the entire Biden criminal family organization and by the way I have no problem saying it's a Biden crime family because I think I think the evidence in the news is now overwhelming and it seems to me that the uh the 20 shell companies and the six Banks and all that stuff you could you could do away with all the alleged audio tapes you know let's say we never hear any of these alleged Ukrainian audio tapes I don't think we ever will uh you could say that all the the documents like that 1023 you could say those are all fake but all you need is to know that a huge amount of money flowed from other countries into a Labyrinth of shell companies and banks that has no purpose other than to hide your activity and that's the whole that's the whole story you don't need any documentation all you have to do is show this flow of money and the structure it flowed into and then where it ended up you know now now we do have direct Witnesses right we've got the Devon Archer and Etc Tony bobolinski so we have we have direct uh eyewitnesses under oath and we've got the bank records and the money and where it went right now although I would yeah you make a good point I always say people are innocent until proven guilty but if I watch somebody shoot somebody in my living room with my own eyes and I'm standing right next to him I'm not going to say that that person is innocent you know I don't need that I don't need the court to validate it because I can observe it directly this is one of those cases where you can observe it directly because um Hunter's defense has offered no explanation for why you would have all these shell companies and Banks and even what they did for the money you know what was the product they gave for the money without that I would say this is as obvious as watching somebody murder somebody right in front of you and that that would be a real it's a very rare exception to innocent until proven guilty now somebody who definitely should be innocent until proven guilty would be Andrew Tate because we don't really know anything about that do we we know these allegations but nothing nothing really sounds right about any of it as Romania you don't know if there's corruption so edutate is the perfect example of innocent until proven guilty no matter what the truth is whereas the this Hunter situation is was so well understood that I think you can you can go beyond the the court opinion to have your own opinion about it now I would say that's different than the Trump boxes because the Trump box case um really relies on a lot of legal Theory and who did what exactly when and I would say that's innocent until proven guilty I mean it looks like maybe there were some technical violations that nobody should care about but yeah anyway um so we'll see what comes to that but it does look like uh I would say there's no chance of Joe Biden um being the next president do you think there's any chance of that now because I think the evidence that we have already would guarantee he can't win against any Republican who's sane and you're going to have you can have strong Republicans going into the race whoever it is you know it looks like Trump at the moment but no matter who it is you know any of the top four is going to just destroy Biden I mean all you have to do imagine the debate imagine a debate in which Trump or somebody says look we've discovered 20 shell companies six Banks and whatever the number is 17 million dollars that flowed into the family and no explanation of what services were provided for that and no explanation of why you needed to hide that money Now ladies and gentlemen of America I submit to you that if they offered a defense you should consider it they've now offered a defense and the the facts are no longer under dispute look with your own eyes see it with your own eyes this is the swamp this is what I'm trying to get rid of and I'm trying to get rid of the head of the swamp first let me take the head of the snake and we'll worry about the rest of the snake when I get elected but I think all of you can see what I see you know although I agree that people are innocent until proven guilty there is no other explanation for this money flowing from other countries and from the countries that were exactly the portfolios that Biden was controlling in terms of policy so let's not get caught up into the legal details you can all see the stuff that nobody's arguing about you can all see for yourself it's been proven we have the documents the money flowed from other countries there was no there was no product or service provided this is the swamp this is what you need to get rid of everybody wins in that case yeah now I believe that the Democrats are unwilling to rig the election for Biden even if they could and there's no evidence that they ever did but if they could hypothetically I don't think they would because I think they don't want him to run it's too much trouble so even CNN you know is starting to run some anti-biden commentary all right so yeah I think I think uh Biden's done that's my prediction my prediction is that Biden uh can't win so I'm going to go with doesn't matter who does win it matters but that's not part of the prediction prediction is Biden will not be president whether he gets whether he gets the primary or not he doesn't have I'd say any chance of winning at this point um this will be a good test have you heard anybody else say that Biden can't win you know based on the hunter stuff especially as anybody in the bunded space said because I think most people are still on the page the Democrats are thinking he can win and Republicans are thinking he can win because something will happen with the election right where the Democrats don't care if he's sentient or not right so I I don't know how many people have predicted this if any I haven't heard it from anybody but I'm going to say there isn't any chance he can be president again so between his health and the hunter stuff and the fact that the Democrats don't want to put up with it again and even CNN started to change his tune a little bit on the reporting uh yeah now remember you're saying that the cheating can make him president I'm saying that they wouldn't cheat in this case because they don't want him to be president so if they were going to be cheating it would make far more sense to put in a better candidate ahead of time so you don't have to cheat see where I'm going if you imagine there's such a thing as some you know Democrat conspiracy to cheat they would be pretty well organized would you agree if that existed and there's no evidence of it but if it existed they'd be well organized but there would certainly be well organized enough to make sure they were not in that position to make sure that Biden was not running and I think they could make that happen they they the imaginary people in charge so that's all just imagining that such people exist maybe they do maybe don't I don't know all right um how bad should we uh be about this I I think we found something we can all come together on um and that's rare the left the right black white uh lgbtq there's one thing we can come together as I think we can come together as nation and universally condemn those things that nobody ever said can we agree would you would you join with me and to condemn the terrible things that nobody's ever said for example nobody's ever said that slaves had a good deal nobody ever said that slaves were benefiting by those you know in a way that made slavery sort of a good deal by having skills right nobody's ever thought it nobody's ever said it but the entire country is deciding to argue over it the thing that nobody said and nobody believes am I wrong about that nobody said it nobody believes it and we're having a big argument about it the thing that nobody said that nobody believes so that's happening but at least we can come together on condemning the things that never happened that nobody ever said and the funniest part about that story it's um you know the the topic is uh uh history teaching in Florida and whether it should say that that the slaves were acquiring skills they had some benefit to them later on and it turns out that the people who are really mad about the De.

Santis plan for history lessons uh want to replace it with a more generic one that they're happy with and do you know what the difference is between the generic one that the unhappy people would like to replace and the one that De.

Santis wants do you know what the difference is on this question none it says the same thing same thing that slaves learn skills which they could take with them later both you know during during slavery and after and it would be better to have a skill than not to have a skill they both say that not only is the entire debate about something that nobody said nobody said the part that that the slaves had a good deal everybody said the part that they learn skills and everybody agrees that learning skills is better than not learning skills so this is like a double triple absurdity situation this is summer squared stories that aren't real but we're you know we have something to talk about all right I would like to give you the best part of my presentation today which is how to deal with the Republicans mostly the Biden Camp if we're calling Republicans extreme Mega does it seem to you they're getting some traction on this extreme Maga situation does it feel like it's working because it feels like other people are picking it up but I'm going to teach you a persuasion trick for removing extreme Mega from the attack you ready now it's not much different from other techniques so you'll recognize the technique as and embrace and amplify but I'm tweaking Embrace and amplify a little bit because Embrace and Amplified means you just Embrace somebody's dumbass idea and then you pretend you you agree with it and and they're pretending you agree surfaces all the problem with the idea this is a little bit different but it's a close cousin to that all right imagine a video skipped so it would be a viral video using actors all right the actors are a couple of very Republican ordinary looking people just like the most ordinary Republicans you could have but let's say they're a little bit overweight just so you can imagine this I'm going to draw you a picture in your head it's a little bit overweight they're very middle class so you see them in their living room sitting on the couch maybe mom is knitting or something and Dad's there with a or a man's beer not a Bud Light and they're watching the news and you hear Joe Biden say something about extreme Mega extreme Mega extreme Mega and you see the two looking at each other and they're like well we're regular mega what what would was that an upgrade is that like a promotion like I'd like to be more extreme and so you see the two people trying to figure out how they can get to extreme and so they talk to their friends you know it all happens really quickly because it's like a quick video they talk to their friends and they're like we'd like to we'd like to be more extreme and they're like well you could wear this you know this hat that has embossed lettering on it like is that extreme well compared to the regular hat that has no embossed lettering is way more extreme so you would do like little skits of regular Republicans trying to become or get upgraded to the excitement of being an extreme Mega but they can't figure out what is included so they're trying to figure out how to do it what's the process how do I get to be more extreme and of course the point of it is it's a ridiculous concept there's no such thing as an extreme Mega it's all made up so you want to embrace it so that you can mock it that's different than Embrace and amplify because when you Embrace and amplify the mocking is sort of embedded in your actions but you're not actively mocking it you're pretending like you're just playing it straight in this case you would be actively mocking it but you're embracing it before you actively mock it so close cousin of embrace and Amplified now in my opinion the silliness of extreme Mega you could immediately take it from extreme magazines like racist right yeah crazy racist but you can make extreme bag it just seems silly and cute and ridiculous just by having uh more attention to the you know the counter point what do you think would it work lots of videos of the extreme Mega and then you also get you'd also want your Republicans to make fun of it you know can you imagine Vivek or you know somebody who's got a personality saying you know are you extreme Mega do you agree with this because we Mega there's an extreme Mega wow is there any kind of a sign up for that or is it more of a self-identification how do I become more extreme Mega you know just and just just mock The Thing by smiling and laughing at it you know I don't think I'm extreme Mega enough I'm gonna you know or or how about this all right here's another idea you show somebody with a make America a great again hat on you know the red hat and then they're trying to figure out how to become extreme and then one of them has an idea and they turn the head around backwards and everybody's like I think you did it that that's like crazy oh my God my God could we do that too how did you do that and then they're all like huh and they turned their hats around they're like and suddenly they're all excited we've done it we've done it and they they go to have a drink but it's only Bud Light they're like ah it'd be hilarious you should make you should make 50 of these we should use that AI that's what you do uh so since now we've been told and I'm sure it's true because people said so that you can just write text to create a whole movie so you can just write some text to create this little play of the Maga people trying to be extreme Mega and it'll be totally watchable because AI made it right no it won't if you want if you want to if you want to show yourself that hey I can't make a movie no matter how many posts you see about it at least now it can't make a movie try to do that try to do just that little short film a two minute clip with a very clear you know message and and see you tell your AI to make that and watch how much you don't want to watch it when it's done by humans could make the hell out of that an a I can't do that yeah you need a human's annotating period because the the machine can't tell what's working and what isn't that's a human job make your bed will always be the funniest thing a mega person could do that in the humorous world would look extreme but would be silly now I was also imagining uh what would be extreme Mega sporting events you know if you had like because extreme Mega sounds like extreme sports so as imagining suppose all the extreme Magus had some kind of Olympics just for extreme magnets what what events would be there and I thought you know the the real Olympics already has the skiing and shooting I have this feeling that a republican extreme Mega events would just be regular Sports but also shooting so it'd be like tennis but you could shoot you know you can hit the ball or you can shoot it on the air you'd be like basketball but instead of playing defense you could just shoot the ball when it's in the air so I think you just take regular Sports and you add shootings you got your extreme Mega games extreme Mega we've got basketball we're shooting we've got soccer we're shooting we've got curling with shooting that's that's it all right uh we've got racing when shooting we've got lawn darts well the law and darts Standalone we that's the only one with no shooting we've just got lawn darts but you can fire them at each other it's more it's not less target practice and more team against team that cornhole it's corn it's cornhole but we're shooting and no Bud Light yeah maybe it's mowing your lawn and not drinking a Bud Light I've been mowing I'm so thirsty yeah that would be the competition you have to mow your lawn on a hot day and there has to be a cold Bud uh Bud Light sitting in front of you and you see who can go the longest without taking a sip of the Bud Light you have to just keep mowing in the Sun and you can't use sunscreen you're just getting ready yeah and then whoever whoever can last the longest uh wins that competition yeah the Mowing and resisting the Bud Light would be a good extreme Mega what else uh what would be extreme chest boxing chest box all right that's more mocking Republicans you could kind of see a chess board and then two Republicans wearing boxing gloves and they they don't know the rules of the chess game so they just punch each other instead that'd be pretty funny NASCAR we shooting all right ladies and gentlemen I think I've done what I need to do and we've accomplished uh everything except getting the locals platform to work so I'll guess I'll I'll work on that when I'm done yeah the wet t-shirt contest this up is old man uh cornhole With Grenades now you're talking jousting with baguettes okay uh yeah Sinead O'Connor passed away I didn't hear of what chess boxing is a thing is it really the wife all right competitive get off my lawn get off my porch all right I think we've done it thank you for joining and I will see you tomorrow ladies and gentlemen and if you are a member of the local Subscription Service I will probably see you tonight but I don't know how many are listening here bye for now

fix a little technical problem over in

the locals platform

but looks like the locals platform is

better than a door nail today

I'll try it one more time

hey he's looking better

not so much

well we're uh we're having a terrible

time here technically normally I'd be

halfway through the simultaneous sip but

it looks like we got nothing today

so we'll be closing up

closing up locals

and open it up on my phone

which should work

but we'll see

watch me scramble to make all this work

while you wait wishing there was

actually a show going on

yeah it looks like locals is dead

all right

today

it's all you it's all you today

would you like to start from the

beginning

good morning

would you like to take this experience

up to levels that you don't even believe

are possible

yes you do

and all you need for that is a cupboard

mugger gloss a tanker Chelsea style in

the canteen chocolate flaska vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee

and join me now for the

unparalleled pleasure of the dopamines

of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous sip

it happens now go

that's good stuff

all right ladies and gentlemen

have you seen any news today

well there's news all over the place

it's like news happening like you can't

even believe it

but uh let's go through it

so the Wall Street Journal is saying

that the economy grew by 2.4 percent

we'll talk about Hunter and UFOs and

stuff but it'll take a minute for all

the locals people to give up and come

over here

sorry

um

but what I thought was interesting about

this is it's good news that the economy

is doing well

but the headline was uh

U.S economic growth defies a slow down

expectations

whose expectations

whose expectations because this was my

prediction so I would like to add to my

most accurate political predictions and

most accurate pandemic predictions and

most accurate Ukraine predictions the

most accurate economic tradition

because I actually said we would not go

into a recession there we go

remember I told you I I was all excited

preliminarily yesterday about this story

that researchers had made a room

temperature superconductor

do you remember that story

took about 10 minutes for people to crap

all over it and say well let's wait to

see if anybody can reproduce this and

there's something sketchy going on and

so I would say that all of my optimism

about superconductivity completely gone

completely gone yeah it doesn't sound

like it's real but I would love to be

surprised so don't wait for any room

temperature

superconductivity it might be as likely

as

UFOs

well there's a new photo of uh

uh Wagner leader progosian

allegedly in Russia and he's just

shaking hands with some African guy

who's visiting

so that's true right

pregosian's fine he's just hanging out

hanging out in Russia

sure

yeah there was a even CNN reported that

they reported that there was a picture

of him they didn't report to use the

library thing they just said there's a

picture of him which is fair

and

uh does anybody want to think that he's

still free and just doing his own thing

he's just driving his RV around St

Petersburg

no no he's not driving his RV around the

CPS

he's certainly in uh if he's alive he's

certainly controlled by Putin at this

point

um

did you read it in the news that it was

the warmest summer

how many of you think we had the warmest

summer because of climate change the

news said so

well it may be it might actually be the

warmest summer but

I'd like to give you a Counterpoint

which doesn't it doesn't necessarily

refute everything you've heard but it

gives you context so here's some better

context from Alex Epstein

uh you said anyone comment uh

commentating responsibly on summer

temperatures must acknowledge four facts

all right see if you agree with these

four facts

cold related deaths are much greater

than he related to us do you know that

that the number of people who died

because it's too cold is way higher than

the number of people who die because

it's warm

so in theory

you could imagine that depending on

where it got warmer

it would save lives right so as the cold

places got warmer but the places that

are already hot didn't get warmer or

didn't get much warmer we'd be better

off wouldn't we well and then then the

reverse would be true if the hot places

got hotter and the cool places got

colder that probably would be worse

um

but according to Alex Earth is warming

slowly and less in warm places oh so

that's good so the warming is more

concentrated in the cold places

which should save lives

um fossil fuels number three fossil

fuels make us safer from dangerous

temperatures

yeah what would you do if you didn't

have fossil fuels

wouldn't you be more exposed to what the

weather can do if you can't sit in your

car or eat your house

and um

anti-fossil fuel policies increase the

danger from cold indeed well that makes

sense if fossil fuels protect you from

temperature extremes then not having

them would make you less safe

so I think a lot of this turns on these

two points it's better to be warmer than

cold

and it's

um

and it's not warming as much in the

places that are already warm now this is

my problem with averages

if somebody told you that the average

temperature the Earth was going up

that's pretty scary right but what if

they told you that it's warming up in

the places that are too cold

and the places that are already hot

nobody lives there because it's a desert

anyway

for example now that's the extreme

that's I'm exaggerating the effect here

but uh

that's your counter argument

so I'm not saying that the warming the

warming is not a problem

I don't know might be but we're pretty

good at dealing with that kind of

problem

all right here's a quiz for you and the

answer is not 25 percent

all right I'm going to see I can see if

you can get this right

you know put on your thinking gaps all

right there was a article by Katie mogg

in the Wall Street Journal and

apparently there's a trend called the

hashtag lazygirljob

and a lazy girl job would be defined as

a job often you could work at home you

don't put in too many hours it might be

an online kind of thing you don't make

that much money but you make enough

especially if you live with your

boyfriend or something

so apparently it's this big old trend

um to

have a job that you can just sort of

pay the rent but you're not looking to

kill you know kill it this would be the

opposite of leaning in

this would be like sleeping in

so apparently leaning in has turned into

sleeping in

uh but that's not the question here's

the question

this phenomenon has been growing lately

and it's racked up close to 18 million

views on a particular social media

Network go Which social media Network

well just a hypothetic well what would

be a social media Network that would

encourage working age humans in the

United States do not work hard

but maybe not send that same message to

let's say China

what what would be

what would be a platform that would do

that

I mean who would tell Americans to be

lazier because it's awesome while not

telling Chinese citizens to be lazy

because it's not awesome who would do

that

the answer is

tick tock

are you surprised

oh big surprise a trend that's really

bad for Americans seems to be running on

Tick Tock which does not run in the same

form in China

so why are people talked into being

trans if they never thought of it in

their life before Tick Tock but not in

China they don't run it there

and why are people told to not work so

hard

well it doesn't happen in China

and

what is uh what's Congress looking at

this week

the fact that it's obvious that we have

a brainwashing technology that's been

inserted in the phone of every Young

American

or we have a hearing on that today no no

it's about aliens UFOs

because it's summer and you don't talk

about real stuff in the summer you fool

let's talk about UFOs

as you know the Congress had some

hearings about whether the government

has secret UFOs that they're keeping

from us and I don't know about you

but after listening to some of the

testimony about the UFOs

I'm left with more questions than

answers

more questions than answers here are

some of the questions I have

how much money did Hunter get from the

UFOs

I assume you shall come down I just

don't know how much money he made

there's no reporting on that number two

are we using this Advanced alien

technology that we have to make video

cameras for the White House that can't

see Hunter

yeah Special technology the security

cameras can see everybody

except Hunter he's just invisible on

camera

and most importantly number three how

many aliens are in Trump's boxes

must be a few because one thing we know

is that we can't be told what's in the

boxes

I can't think of anything else that they

wouldn't tell us

because anything else they could tell us

am I right they could tell us in a

general way

again let me give you example if Trump's

boxes of Secrets had attack plans for

Iran

we would hear that they just wouldn't

tell us the details if there were

nuclear secrets

we would hear that they just wouldn't

tell us the actual Secrets right if he

had boxes that were full of let's say

sensitive conversations with a foreign

adversary or for an ally or maybe some

something that we'd found about a

foreign adversary

we would have heard that we just

wouldn't hear the details of it right

what's the one thing that could be in

the boxes

that even the government wouldn't even

say anything about

aliens aliens there have to be aliens in

the boxes because it's the only thing

they wouldn't want to say anything about

otherwise they would just say well yes

he hasn't we just can't tell you the

details but they can't tell you that

they do have aliens they just don't want

to tell you which ones see they can't

tell you that okay I'm joking if you

can't tell if you can't tell I'm joking

I'm joking all right

um

Elon Musk weighed in on a Andrew Tate

tweet

um then Tate was talking about you know

men who sleep with a lot of women and

vice versa and musk tweeted to that he

said to sleep with women endlessly

without love is a cursed and hollow life

well

if you were not already aiding Elon Musk

for being the richest person in the

world

can you he can you hate him now for

apparently knowing the answer to this

question

how you feel when you have slept with

endless women without love

it didn't sound like he was guessing

I feel like if you're the richest man in

the world and you're unmarried you have

experienced sleeping with endless women

without love

I think that's probably what a Tuesday

looks for him looks like for him

sending number three

make sure there's no love

so we hate him for knowing the answer to

that question what does it feel like to

have sex with endless women

you know but but I'm glad that he did it

so we don't have to do it am I right

guys are you glad that Elon Musk

told us what it feels like to sleep with

endless women without love because I was

going to go out and do it

I had plans for the week I was like you

know what I'm going to do this week I

haven't tried this before but I'm gonna

try having endless sex with women who

don't love me

see what it's all about but then I would

have found out it was cursed in all her

life and so I'm glad that must did it so

I don't have to but there is something

left out of this analysis

they're sleeping with women endlessly

without love is a cursed and hollow life

how does it compare to being married to

one person

I mean I think that's the valid

comparison

I would agree with them that maybe it

isn't you know a cursed and hollow life

but how does it compare to the

alternative

you know what is the worst advice

anybody ever gave

the worst advice is Follow Your Passion

you know you know what the second worst

advice is

find a find a good mate

it's the worst device anybody's ever

given find a good mate you know one that

will make your life better and do you

know why that's the worst advice in the

world

because I'm no expert I'm not a marriage

expert I'm just going to put this out

there

see you can do with it what you will

I'm almost positive

that a hundred percent of people who get

married

think they picked the right one

do you have a different feeling about

that are there a lot of people getting

married saying you know this mate I

picked is total but I just feel

like getting married

no I believe that everybody enters an

illusion in which they figure that

whatever flaws the other person has

they'll they'll work it out

and there are no new flaws there won't

be any new ones you've seen everything

there is to see

and so that therefore a reasonable and a

smart person using good judgment can go

out and find a good solid mate and have

a solid life because of it

now some of you say it was cut you

idiot you idiot there are plenty

of examples I mean maybe it's not over

50 percent of the population but there

are plenty of plenty of examples of

people who looked and they found the

right person

are you going to tell me that would you

would you like to tell me that there are

many examples you've seen it yourself

many of you are the example where the

the correct mate which you wisely and

with your good judgments and your free

will you chose that good mate and

because of your good choice things are

better for you how many years raise your

hand if you're in that category you were

you wisely picked the right mate and it

totally worked out for you go how many

of you

so and there and therefore would be a

good technique right yeah

all right does anybody see what's wrong

with your analysis do I have to be the

first one to tell you

you see what's wrong with the analysis

all right you take a million people and

you randomly pair them with each other

just randomly

would some of them uh have happy

marriages

just randomly paired

what do you say

of course they would of course they

would yeah suppose you had an AI match

people

would you know if you had a million of

them would some of them have amazing

marriages

I think so I think so yeah does that

does that indicate that you can choose

the right mate

because lots of people have done it

Alexa cancel

I don't know what that was all about but

so so would you say that the evidence is

there there are plenty of examples of

people who consciously and this is the

important part they were consciously

looking for a good mate

they found one they lived their whole

life happy that they found one and

that's proof that it's a good idea would

you agree with that statement

is basically solid well maybe not proof

in a scientific sense but it's very

solid solid evidence

because you know lots of people you

personally know lots of people who put

the effort in found somebody and it

worked and it worked their whole life

and they were really happy about it

right

that's not that's not really thinking

what you're doing there

there's no there's no sense of reason or

logic to that whatsoever

it's just the law of big numbers

if you have a lot of people doing

something somebody's going to win

that's it that's the whole story if a

lot of people are doing a thing

some of them are going to get lucky

every time not sometimes every time

so what would you imagine would be the

rate of people getting lucky that would

indicate his luck

versus something that would indicate

it's a solid plan

well let me give you an example another

solid plan would be if you wanted a good

life you would stay in the jail you'd

learn some skills uh

you know you'd basically

stay off drugs do some things how often

does that keep you from being poor

if you do those few simple things that

anybody can do it's hard but anybody can

do it and the answer is

almost no poor people in that group

if you you know build skills go to

school stay in a jail do the basics

pretty much all of you are successful

what's the success rate for picking a

spouse

now remember you've got to you you're

not discounting the people who get

divorced you have to include the people

who stayed married but kind of wish they

hadn't

right

so so marriage is more of a maybe I'd

say a 25 success rate

if you talk about your whole life 25

percent

does 25 percent sound like chance

or the result of people who knew exactly

what they were doing they knew exactly

what a good mate would look like and

they went out and tried to get one

does it look like that

have you ever noticed that people tend

to marry the people they work with

what are the odds you met your soulmate

at work

it's mostly where people meet people

right

the thing we know of people about people

is that they can fall in love with

whoever's around

would you agree with that statement

we're not looking for our soulmate among

the 8 billion people on earth

we easily fall in love with whoever's

nearby

just proximity seems to be enough so do

you how many of the people who just fell

in love because they happen to be in the

proximity of another person who is

willing to you know say yes

how many of them are a good match

it would be kind of weird if they were

so I would say that 25 success rate of

picking the right mate and making it

last a lifetime

could be a little more could be a little

less it's definitely not over 50 percent

so what kind of advice is it to give

somebody advice that could not work more

than half the time

is that a solid advice

advice that will not work

at least half of the time

I would call that bad advice

because you do not have a mechanism or

the capability to pick a good mate

now I suppose there's some really super

obvious stuff like you know somebody

who's been in and out of jail their

entire life

and it was no intention of stopping

crying I wouldn't marry that person

right

but I don't think that's what anybody's

talking about I think most people are

looking at average looking people

and saying I think that's my person I

think that's the one that will work but

it's not because they're so smart or

they knew how to pick a good person

yeah no I think it's pure magical

thinking that you can pick the right

person that said that said you should

try as hard as you can to pick the right

person

I'm just saying it's magical thinking to

think that's some kind of formula for

Success it's not

something you should try to do but you

really don't know how to do it nobody

does

uh because it's mostly luck

all right

um there's yet another

announcement about AI movies and now

this Gen 2

I don't know if it's hn or Gen 2 or

whatever it is but there's some new AI

that

can make movies make an entire movie

just from some prompts

um here's my prediction about movies

made by AI

do you know why I don't watch television

right now

besides the fact the content is bad is

because there are so many streaming

services and each one takes a lot of

effort to make it work on any given day

like I've got streaming services that

work on some some devices but not others

I could probably fix that

but I sometimes I just want to watch a

show

so I'll just go to the other streaming

device

so I've got all these streaming devices

and as I've said many times instead of

watching content which is what I used to

do now I just look for content and I'm

sure that there's something better I

haven't found yet and then I never watch

any content

so the amount of content

made watching content impractical

would you agree you understand what I'm

saying right it's like going to The

Cheesecake Factory and they've got the

50 page menu

and you're sitting there with somebody

who's not good at making decisions about

food

it's don't go to The Cheesecake Factory

door Dash do not go there with somebody

who's not good with decisions you're

going to be there a long time

yeah would you like to see my impression

of going to The Cheesecake Factory

vegetarian page

all right see a fish vegetarian I'll do

the same thing I did last time good and

decision mate

and here's me for the rest of the 15

minutes

[Music]

that's me eating at the Cheesecake

Factory with anybody

um

so where was I going on that oh AI

movies I think when AI can make movies

everybody's going to make an AI movie

would you agree

the moment you can make a movie just by

typing in some text

there's going to be so many AI movies

how are you ever going to watch anything

do you think any of these AI movies are

going to be good

probably not I mean it's based on human

patterns and only want to have you know

a thousand movies are good

so it's not going to be better than one

in a thousand but you know it's going to

be different

there will be a billion of them

right when you go to look for a movie

there will be a billion

a billion movies

like actually a billion

and how many of those will be good maybe

none

maybe one in a thousand

how long are you going to look for the

good ones

how much time are you going to spend

looking for the good one now here's even

like a deeper a deeper analysis of this

uh years ago I made the mistake of

trying to become a script writer for

movies so I was going to make a Dilbert

movie and I you know read some books and

studied up on the structure of scripts

unfortunately that process ruined movies

for me forever

because once you know how a script has

to be written in order to make it onto

the screen

you realize it's a formula and if you

don't use the formula you're not going

to get it made nobody's going to fund it

because they need the formula that's

what works but once you see the formula

and you're like oh it's a three-act play

I get it this is the First Act we have

to go through somebody got hurt

something bad happened all right then

third act so and then you know that the

B plot interferes with the a plot you

know that anything you see that's called

out the First Act has to be important in

the last act or else they wouldn't call

it on the First Act and once you see the

whole process and the the structure it

doesn't look like art anymore

and when it stops looking like art it

loses all of its punch

so I would say that and other people

have had the same experience I've talked

to them the moment you can see the gears

you you lose all your love of the movies

I don't know how people make movies make

make movies and watch them because they

just should know too much maybe they

watch them for a different reason to see

how well they're made or something I

don't know

but once there are tons of AI mu movies

and they're all using the same formulas

that humans use and there's billions of

them I think this will destroy movies as

an art form

I just don't think movies will be a

thing

reels might be a thing

but not movies

and of course when I say that is more

like radio you know radio lasted forever

even though television was supposed to

get rid of it so there will be probably

some AI movies and other movies but you

know movies as a major cultural

phenomenon should shrink to a niche

all right

uh Democrats really don't like free

speech you know everybody says that but

when you see these numbers it's shocking

so Pew research or the Pew group or

wherever there found that Democrats and

Democrat leading Independents are much

more likely than Republicans and

Republican leaners

to support the U.S government taking

steps to restrict false information now

this isn't just free speech it's

specifically about false information

so 70 percent of Democrats and leaning

Democrats think the government should

restrict what is in their opinion false

information

and 39 of Republicans say the same

so before any of you Republicans get all

feeling good about yourself

39 percent of Republicans think the

government should restrict bad

information

really how did we get to this place you

see the problem is that this requires

somebody to know what information is

good

as soon as you you say somebody's going

to be the judge of what good information

is and what's bad information you're

dead

you are so dead if you let somebody

decide for you what's true

you cannot live in that world that is

the end

that's the end of the Republic

how do 70 percent of uh

Democrats and 39 percent of Republicans

not know

that allowing the government to tell you

what's true

would be the end of the Republic how do

they not know that

what's going wrong here

and my best guess is at least with the

Democrats is that they've been so

propagandized

that Republicans are are putting out bad

information

that they can't see that their own

information is bad as well

is that what's happening

would you say that the propaganda makes

them think that the only bad information

is coming from their enemies

they don't understand that the bad

information is coming from inside the

house

as they still don't know it even after

the pandemic

think about that even after the pandemic

when we've learned almost everything the

government told us was a known lie they

weren't just wrong they knew they were

lying

and yet

the Democrats 70 percent of them somehow

are not influenced by the fact that we

know the government lied to us massively

not only about that but everything from

the laptop to you name it and

and that doesn't have an influence

seventy percent of the Democrat leaders

and Democrats are not influenced by

recent events

they still want somebody to tell them

what's true or more importantly to tell

the other side what's true here's here's

my take on this I think this is

I think that it's just a team play

response I think that when people

answered the question they were

answering as Democrats

uh well I would like my enemies not to

talk as much I think that's what it is

but if you ask them if you I think if

you took any of these 70 percent and sat

him down and said what I just had just

the two of you talking not a poll say

all right you know that both sides have

put out bad information

well yes that's true right

and you know that if somebody in

particular is in charge of telling you

what's true

you know that you're in big trouble

right

yeah that's true I mean I don't think

anybody actually holds this opinion

isn't that weird people are giving

opinions they don't hold

because they they think you probably

have a Strategic Benefit I think so I

think people are just asking the

answering what would be a philosophical

question

I think they're answering it

strategically

partly what's happening

all right

um but is it more than just false

information wouldn't you say that

um there's also a suppression by the

left of opinion

don't you think that it's more than just

what's true or what's false

but that opinion is also being

suppressed you know stuff that's clearly

opinion

because some of the opinion is about

what's true and what's not true so you

end up blocking opinion

when you try to Black Block fact

all right

um

now it might be just because there's so

many Democrats who are unable to speak

in coherent sentences you got your

commonly Harris your Joe Biden your

fetamine your Senator Feinstein

Feinstein who

actually can't communicate anymore

but now we can add to that Mitch

McConnell if you saw Mitch McConnell's

tragic press announcement and he stood

there and actually couldn't speak

and he looked like he was having some

kind of an event in his head

uh he apparently can speak so he did

because he did come back but he's in bad

shape

so by my count that is five major

members of our government who can't form

sentences

is that right tell me I'm wrong there

are four elected people who are really

prominent these are not minor people

these are prominent politicians Kamala

Harris Joe Biden uh fetterman Feinstein

and now Mitch McConnell

how's this okay

how is this okay

I mean really

there's nobody who can tell Mitch

McConnell it's it's time

I'm uh I'm pretty disappointed in

Republicans

you know let me just say this if you're

a Republican or a conservative and

you've been saying that Joe Biden needs

to step down because of age

but you're not saying about Mitch

McConnell

then we can't take you seriously you're

not a real serious person both of them

need to step down

like really soon

yeah Grassley actually is weirdly

Grassley seems pretty capable doesn't he

relatively speaking but you know like

you said he's close

so

yeah I mean the the team play here is

just disgusting because none of these

people would be in power if people were

trying to pick good people

right so picky a good mate is like

picking a good politician

you have every good intention of doing

it but then you know there are reasons

there are reasons why you gotta pick

these bad ones

and we're going to use those raisins

speaking of bad ones

um Adam Schiff was at

Adam Schiff is so entertaining

because he

I don't know what's in his head

but it seems that he must be aware

that he can say anything

and the News won't check him on his side

you know only the Republicans will fact

check him and nobody he doesn't care

about them because his base and his

voters will never see it

so he said quote the Republican desire

to impeach someone anyone no matter if

there's any evidence just shows how they

have descended into chaos

right so the Republicans are crazy

because they want to impeach the person

who's in charge of the Border who's just

letting everybody in

that's crazy it's crazy to want to

impeach somebody who's just not doing

the job on a vital thing

and of course the Biden stuff is just

beyond the pale at this point

so at the same time there might be a

trump indictment today has there been

any news yet on a trump indictment don't

they usually happen in the morning

can we say there will be no Trump

indictment today

am I wrong that they always happen in

the morning

or is that just me imagining it

maybe I'm imagining that all right

but we'll keep waiting that so I tweeted

because I thought it was funny that uh

the news today has UFOs and the possible

Trump indictment uh that's got to tell

you the Hunter's in trouble

but then somebody pointed out to ruin my

fund that the UFOs are that's all the

Republican process

so the Republicans are not trying to

cover up any hunter stories but it is

funny that we get these two flashy

stories at the same time Hunter

Hunter is in trouble

all right coincidence anyway you all

heard by now that hunter lost his

sweetheart plea deal

now I'm no lawyer so I'm going to give

you the idiots version of what I

understand about this so Hunter had this

sweetheart deal worked out in which you

would plead guilty to some minor stuff

among a large bag of potential stuff

that could have been even worse

now that's unusual normally you would

you know plead guilty to

well let me take another tact on this

so the idea was

at least these smart people are saying

that it seems to have been crafted

explicitly to get Hunter off but more

importantly to prevent anybody from ever

finding out more information

and the way they would do that is have a

deal in which there's no trial so you

don't have the discovery of the trial

but moreover if the Press asks for asked

questions they would still be able to

say that the investigations are ongoing

so somehow they were going to say we've

made a deal and all the investigations

are closed while also saying they're

still open so we can't talk about it it

was some weird situation that

it was ridiculous on its surface

and was really transparent even to the

judge who overturned it because it

seemed obvious this this was so

non-standard it could only be put

together for the purpose of protecting

Hunter could not have been done in any

reasonable person's opinion for any kind

of Justice or you know normal process

that another person would go through

so here's my big question

is this going to unravel everything

will everything become Delight now

because

if Hunter can be prosecuted

doesn't that open up the the ability to

investigate everything related to it

which would necessarily include the

entire Biden criminal family

organization

and by the way I have no problem saying

it's a Biden crime family

because I think I think the evidence in

the news is now overwhelming

and

it seems to me that the uh the 20 shell

companies and the six Banks and all that

stuff

you could you could do away with all the

alleged audio tapes you know let's say

we never hear any of these alleged

Ukrainian audio tapes I don't think we

ever will

uh you could say that all the the

documents like that 1023 you could say

those are all fake

but all you need is to know that a huge

amount of money flowed from other

countries into a Labyrinth of shell

companies and banks that has no purpose

other than to hide your activity

and that's the whole that's the whole

story you don't need any documentation

all you have to do is show this flow of

money and the structure it flowed into

and then where it ended up

you know now now we do have direct

Witnesses right we've got the Devon

Archer and

Etc Tony bobolinski so we have we have

direct

uh eyewitnesses under oath

and we've got the bank records and the

money and where it went

right

now

although I would yeah you make a good

point I always say people are innocent

until proven guilty

but if I watch somebody shoot somebody

in my living room with my own eyes and

I'm standing right next to him I'm not

going to say that that person is

innocent

you know I don't need that I don't need

the court to validate it because I can

observe it directly this is one of those

cases where you can observe it directly

because

um Hunter's defense has offered no

explanation for why you would have all

these shell companies and Banks and even

what they did for the money you know

what was the product they gave for the

money without that I would say this is

as obvious as watching somebody murder

somebody right in front of you

and that that would be a real it's a

very rare exception to innocent until

proven guilty now somebody who

definitely should be innocent until

proven guilty would be Andrew Tate

because we don't really know anything

about that do we we know these

allegations but nothing nothing really

sounds right about any of it as Romania

you don't know if there's corruption so

edutate is the perfect example of

innocent until proven guilty

no matter what the truth is

whereas the this Hunter situation is was

so well understood

that I think you can you can go beyond

the the court opinion to have your own

opinion about it

now I would say that's different than

the Trump boxes

because the Trump box case

um

really relies on a lot of legal Theory

and who did what exactly when and I

would say that's innocent until proven

guilty I mean it looks like maybe there

were some technical violations that

nobody should care about but

yeah anyway

um

so we'll see what comes to that but it

does look like uh I would say there's no

chance of Joe Biden

um

being the next president

do you think there's any chance of that

now

because I think the evidence that we

have already would guarantee he can't

win against any Republican who's sane

and you're going to have you can have

strong Republicans going into the race

whoever it is you know it looks like

Trump at the moment

but no matter who it is you know any of

the top four is going to just destroy

Biden

I mean all you have to do imagine the

debate

imagine a debate in which Trump or

somebody says look we've discovered 20

shell companies six Banks and whatever

the number is 17 million dollars that

flowed into the family and no

explanation of what services were

provided for that

and no explanation of why you needed to

hide that money

Now ladies and gentlemen of America I

submit to you

that if they offered a defense

you should consider it they've now

offered a defense

and the the facts are no longer under

dispute

look with your own eyes see it with your

own eyes this is the swamp

this is what I'm trying to get rid of

and I'm trying to get rid of the head of

the swamp first let me take the head of

the snake and we'll worry about the rest

of the snake when I get elected but I

think all of you can see what I see

you know although I agree that people

are innocent until proven guilty there

is no other explanation for this money

flowing from other countries and from

the countries that were exactly the

portfolios that Biden was controlling in

terms of policy

so let's not get caught up into the

legal details you can all see the stuff

that nobody's arguing about

you can all see for yourself it's been

proven we have the documents the money

flowed from other countries there was no

there was no product or service provided

this is the swamp this is what you need

to get rid of

everybody wins in that case

yeah

now

I believe that the Democrats are

unwilling to rig the election for Biden

even if they could

and there's no evidence that they ever

did

but if they could hypothetically I don't

think they would

because I think they don't want him to

run

it's too much trouble

so even CNN you know is starting to run

some anti-biden commentary

all right so yeah I think I think uh

Biden's done that's my prediction my

prediction is that Biden uh can't win

so I'm going to go with doesn't matter

who does win

it matters but that's not part of the

prediction prediction is Biden will not

be president whether he gets whether he

gets the primary or not

he doesn't have I'd say any chance of

winning at this point

um

this will be a good test

have you heard anybody else say that

Biden can't win you know based on the

hunter stuff especially

as anybody in the

bunded space said because I think most

people are still on the page the

Democrats are thinking he can win

and Republicans are thinking he can win

because something will happen with the

election right where the Democrats don't

care if he's sentient or not

right so I

I don't know how many people have

predicted this if any I haven't heard it

from anybody but I'm going to say there

isn't any chance he can be president

again

so between his health and the hunter

stuff and the fact that the Democrats

don't want to put up with it again and

even CNN started to change his tune a

little bit on the reporting uh yeah now

remember you're saying that the cheating

can make him president I'm saying that

they wouldn't cheat in this case

because they don't want him to be

president

so if they were going to be cheating it

would make far more sense to put in a

better candidate ahead of time so you

don't have to cheat

see where I'm going if you imagine

there's such a thing

as some you know Democrat conspiracy to

cheat

they would be pretty well organized

would you agree if that existed and

there's no evidence of it but if it

existed they'd be well organized but

there would certainly be well organized

enough

to make sure they were not in that

position to make sure that Biden was not

running and I think they could make that

happen they they the imaginary people in

charge

so that's all just imagining that such

people exist maybe they do maybe don't I

don't know

all right um

how bad should we uh be about this I I

think we found something we can all come

together on

um and that's rare the left the right

black white

uh lgbtq there's one thing we can come

together as I think we can come together

as nation and universally condemn those

things that nobody ever said

can we agree

would you would you join with me and to

condemn

the terrible things that nobody's ever

said

for example nobody's ever said that

slaves had a good deal

nobody ever said that slaves were

benefiting by those you know in a way

that made slavery sort of a good deal by

having skills right nobody's ever

thought it nobody's ever said it

but the entire country is deciding to

argue over it the thing that nobody said

and nobody believes

am I wrong about that nobody said it

nobody believes it and we're having a

big argument about it the thing that

nobody said that nobody believes

so that's happening

but at least we can come together on

condemning the things that never

happened that nobody ever said

and the funniest part about that story

it's

um

you know the the topic is uh

uh history teaching in Florida and

whether it should

say that that the slaves were acquiring

skills they had some benefit to them

later on

and it turns out that the people who are

really mad about the DeSantis plan for

history lessons

uh want to replace it with a more

generic one that they're happy with

and do you know what the difference is

between the generic one that the unhappy

people would like to replace and the one

that DeSantis wants do you know what the

difference is

on this question

none it says the same thing

same thing that slaves learn skills

which they could take with them later

both you know during during slavery and

after and it would be better to have a

skill than not to have a skill

they both say that

not only is the entire debate about

something that nobody said

nobody said the part that that the

slaves had a good deal everybody said

the part that they learn skills and

everybody agrees that learning skills is

better than not learning skills

so

this is like a double triple absurdity

situation this is summer squared

stories that aren't real

but we're you know we have something to

talk about

all right I would like to give you the

best part of my presentation today which

is how to deal with the Republicans

mostly the Biden Camp if we're calling

Republicans extreme Mega

does it seem to you they're getting some

traction on this extreme Maga situation

does it feel like it's working

because it feels like other people are

picking it up

but I'm going to teach you a persuasion

trick

for removing extreme Mega from the

attack you ready

now it's not much different from other

techniques so you'll recognize the

technique as and embrace and amplify

but I'm tweaking Embrace and amplify a

little bit because Embrace and Amplified

means you just Embrace somebody's

dumbass idea and then you pretend you

you agree with it and and they're

pretending you agree

surfaces all the problem with the idea

this is a little bit different but it's

a close cousin to that all right imagine

a video skipped so it would be a viral

video using actors

all right the actors are a couple of

very Republican ordinary looking people

just like the most ordinary Republicans

you could have but let's say they're a

little bit overweight just so you can

imagine this I'm going to draw you a

picture in your head it's a little bit

overweight they're very middle class so

you see them in their living room

sitting on the couch

maybe mom is knitting or something and

Dad's there with a or a man's beer not a

Bud Light and they're watching the news

and you hear Joe Biden say something

about extreme Mega extreme Mega extreme

Mega and you see the two looking at each

other and they're like

well we're regular mega

what what would was that an upgrade is

that like a promotion

like I'd like to be more extreme

and so you see the two people trying to

figure out how they can get to extreme

and so they talk to their friends you

know it all happens really quickly

because it's like a quick video they

talk to their friends and they're like

we'd like to we'd like to be more

extreme

and they're like well

you could wear this you know this hat

that has embossed lettering on it like

is that extreme well compared to the

regular hat that has no embossed

lettering

is way more extreme

so you would do like little skits of

regular Republicans trying to become or

get upgraded to the excitement of being

an extreme Mega but they can't figure

out what is included

so they're trying to figure out how to

do it what's the process how do I get to

be more extreme and of course the point

of it is it's a ridiculous concept

there's no such thing as an extreme Mega

it's all made up

so you want to embrace it

so that you can mock it

that's different than Embrace and

amplify because when you Embrace and

amplify the mocking is sort of embedded

in your actions but you're not actively

mocking it you're pretending like you're

just playing it straight in this case

you would be actively mocking it

but you're embracing it before you

actively mock it

so close cousin of embrace and Amplified

now in my opinion the silliness of

extreme Mega

you could immediately take it from

extreme magazines like racist right

yeah crazy racist

but you can make extreme bag it just

seems silly and cute and ridiculous

just by having uh more attention to the

you know the counter point

what do you think

would it work

lots of videos of the extreme Mega and

then you also get you'd also want your

Republicans to make fun of it

you know can you imagine Vivek or you

know somebody who's got a personality

saying you know are you extreme Mega do

you agree with this because we Mega

there's an extreme Mega

wow is there any kind of a sign up for

that or is it more of a

self-identification how do I become more

extreme Mega

you know just and just just mock The

Thing by smiling and laughing at it you

know I don't think I'm extreme Mega

enough

I'm gonna you know or or how about this

all right here's another idea you show

somebody with a make America a great

again hat on you know the red hat and

then they're trying to figure out how to

become extreme and then one of them has

an idea

and they turn the head around backwards

and everybody's like I think you did it

that that's like crazy

oh my God my God could we do that too

how did you do that and then they're all

like

huh

and they turned their hats around

they're like

and suddenly they're all excited we've

done it we've done it and they they go

to have a drink but it's only Bud Light

they're like ah

[Music]

it'd be hilarious

you should make you should make 50 of

these we should use that AI

that's what you do uh so since now we've

been told and I'm sure it's true because

people said so that you can just write

text to create a whole movie

so you can just write some text to

create this little play of the Maga

people trying to be extreme Mega and

it'll be totally watchable because AI

made it right

no it won't if you want if you want to

if you want to show yourself that hey I

can't make a movie no matter how many

posts you see about it

at least now it can't make a movie try

to do that try to do just that little

short film a two minute clip

with a very clear you know message and

and see you tell your AI to make that

and watch how much you don't want to

watch it when it's done

by humans

could make the hell out of that

an a I can't do that

yeah you need a human's annotating

period because the the machine can't

tell what's working and what isn't

that's a human job

make your bed

will always be the funniest thing a mega

person could do

that in the humorous world

would look extreme

but would be silly

now I was also imagining uh what would

be extreme Mega sporting events

you know if you had like because extreme

Mega sounds like extreme sports

so as imagining suppose all the extreme

Magus had some kind of Olympics just for

extreme magnets what what events would

be there and I thought you know the the

real Olympics already has the skiing and

shooting

I have this feeling that a republican

extreme Mega events

would just be regular Sports

but also shooting

so it'd be like tennis

but you could shoot

you know you can hit the ball or you can

shoot it on the air you'd be like

basketball

but instead of playing defense you could

just shoot the ball when it's in the air

so I think you just take regular Sports

and you add shootings

you got your extreme Mega games

extreme Mega we've got basketball we're

shooting we've got soccer we're shooting

we've got curling with shooting that's

that's it

all right uh

we've got racing when shooting

we've got lawn darts well the law and

darts Standalone we that's the only one

with no shooting we've just got lawn

darts but you can fire them at each

other it's more it's not less target

practice and more

team against team

that cornhole

it's corn it's cornhole but we're

shooting

and no Bud Light

yeah maybe it's mowing your lawn and not

drinking a Bud Light

I've been mowing I'm so thirsty yeah

that would be the competition

you have to mow your lawn on a hot day

and there has to be a cold Bud uh Bud

Light sitting in front of you and you

see who can go the longest without

taking a sip of the Bud Light you have

to just keep mowing in the Sun

and you can't use sunscreen

you're just getting ready

yeah and then whoever whoever can last

the longest uh wins that competition

yeah the Mowing and resisting the Bud

Light would be a good extreme Mega

what else

uh
