View segment →Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And on a slow news day like today, it's exactly where you want to be. Because what would you rather be doing? Sleeping in? No, nonsense. You want to be here.
And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even Canada could not understand, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tankard or a chalice or a demitasse or a canteen or a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. I will stipulate it's called the simultaneous sip. When it happens, now go.
Ah, so good.
I saw a reference to the men who live alone die younger, and the joke was, no, it just seems like it. Or no, I don't know what the joke was, but that's one of those backwards correlation ones. Who do you think people marry? People who look like they're going to die pretty soon, or people who look healthy? I got a feeling that nobody marries somebody who looks like they're going to die soon. So probably married people do live longer. Yep.
So there's a big old festival called Burning Man, and things went wrong. I don't know. Can you believe it that there's a big festival that famous people went to and something went wrong? Hello? Whoever heard of a thing like that? But there was a flood that turned their dirt into mud. And now, oh God, the experts were right. You can't actually talk about Burning Man for more than 30 seconds without falling asleep. Let's try it again. Well, there's a festival. It's called Burning Man. And there's mud. Nobody cares about Burning Man unless you're there. How many of you are at Burning Man? No, nobody.
Can we all agree? Can we stipulate that we don't care what happens? I mean, I hope everybody's safe, but we don't care if they're muddy, and we don't really care if you don't care at all, basically.
So on social media I saw a report of that study that says ivermectin really worked well. So does that sound credible? There's a study that has something to do with something about the pandemic. Is the study credible? Oh, let me look at the details, Scott. No, you don't get to look at the details. Well, how will I know if it's a randomized controlled trial or not? Now answer the question without knowing that. But what if it's done by really credible people? No, answer the question.
The answer is no. There's no credible data that has ever come out of the pandemic. Nothing. Not nothing that agrees with you, nothing that disagrees with you. No freaking idea. We will forever go to the end of our days not really knowing what happened. But that allows everybody to assume they're the ones who got it right. So I guess that's good.
How many of you heard an audio which I'm suspecting is not real, but I don't know in what way it would have been faked, that alleges that James Clapper is on there being allegedly interviewed about something that sounds like a legal context. And if any of it were true, it would be shocking to the point of unbelievable. And what do I say when you see news stories that are unbelievable? They're almost always not true.
Now, the online defense is that it wasn't really James Clapper. Do you believe that? Do you know who would start an argument that it was really another guy? Oh, and the other guy that people say this, it's really sad but tragically he died recently. Yeah, yeah. The person who they say it was died in May. So coincidentally the person who sounds exactly like Clapper, who really wasn't, he sounds exactly like him and also coincidentally died. Let's say that's two really big coincidences for the same person. Died recently just when we'd want to talk to him, and also sounds exactly like somebody that nobody else in the world sounds like. I'll bet you, you could take seven, eight billion people, you wouldn't find one that sounded like Clapper. But we found one. Recently died. Recently died. Yeah.
Now, why should you believe about this story? Nothing. There's not a single credible part of this story. I would tell you what he said. It's, you know, real conspiratorial stuff. The essence of it is that some prominent deep state member whose name I won't mention because it's not credible enough is behind a bunch of blackmail schemes of notable people you've heard of. The only thing it has in its favor is it's bipartisan. So it doesn't seem to be just pro-Democrat or pro-Republican. Sounds like something that would involve both parties. So that's the only thing that gives it a little feel of maybe true. But it's way beyond, way below the line of credibility. But it's fun.
If you'd like to know for sure if it's Clapper, that would be easy because there are programs, I think you probably Google it and it would come right up. There is a way to check if somebody's word pattern usage matches their past pattern of usage. And if somebody's just speaking off the top of their head, which is what the audio purports, you can match it pretty much every time. It'd be like a 98 percent chance you could match it. So if anybody cared, you just go find one of those language matching apps, match it up to things he said before, and you would know for sure.
But I'm not going to tell you what he said. You can look at it online. I just don't want to repeat it more than I have to. But it would be shocking and change the world if it were true.
All right. Israel is having a problem with African immigrants. I guess they had a big brawl in Tel Aviv and hundreds were involved in brawling and rioting. And so Netanyahu says he's going to deport the Africans. Do you think that's going to happen? Do you think he's really going to deport Africans from Israel? I don't know. I've got my doubts. Maybe he'll deport people who were captured on video causing trouble. You might do that. But do you think he's going to take every African? You know, a few hundred had it, right? Can he get away with that politically domestically? Because I've got a feeling that the Israelis are pretty much against discriminating. At least a lot of them. I don't know. I wouldn't speak for all of them. But I would think that because of their history, presumably, there would be very strong feelings against targeting any group of ethnic people. I'm not sure he'll get away with it. I mean, he said he'd do it, but who knows if that's really going to happen. Who knows. We'll keep an eye on that. It might be a canary in the coal mine for something happening over here, but I doubt it. I doubt it.
Representative Nancy Mace, who continues to be one of the more interesting people in politics only because she says stuff you're not supposed to say on TV. And so here's something she said out loud on CNN, and CNN aired it without bleeping it, and they replayed it without bleeping it. So she said she was talking about how the Republicans are handling the issue of abortion. And she said, quote, "We cannot be too women." Huh. And I thought, oh, that's perfect. That's my exact opinion. The political part of my opinion. I don't give you my own opinion on abortion because, as I often say, leave it to women. You know, I'll just follow the leader. Women, if women want it to be illegal in my state, I'll agree. If they want it to be legal in my state, I'll just say it wasn't my decision.
So Nancy Mace is a woman and she's got a credible right to her opinion on this. And I like the fact that she's calling it out. The political element of it is you're going to have to make sure that women are okay with whatever it is the Republicans say or you're not going to win any elections. Now that's different from the issue of what you think about abortion itself. I'm just talking about the messaging. The messaging has to be a little smarter on the Republican side. I would say it's lacking quite a bit. And that it's probably 50 percent less good than it could be, the messaging part, without changing the message. So I would listen to Nancy Mace on messaging. She seems really good on that stuff.
So I saw a tweet from Joe Biden saying that diversity is the thing that he's working for. He's trying to get that diversity up in the country. And here's my reframe on diversity. Diversity is a goal, right? I mean, that's what the president says. We want more diversity. It's a goal. Goals are stupid in general. Just in general, goals are suboptimal. I wrote a book about it. It's the most famous thing I've ever done. There are many books on Amazon right now that have picked up that point. The systems are better than goals. And you know, they're like a whole explosion of books on the very point that systems are better than goals. But who doesn't know that? Apparently the president of the United States.
One of the most basic understood truths of business and life and being effective is that you need a system. If all you have is a goal, you're in trouble. Now what would you do if you treated diversity as a goal? You would take from people who have what you want. Now this would be true of equity or diversity because diversity is just part of equity. So let's just say equity instead because I'd say diversity is a subset of the larger question of equity.
So equity, if that's your goal, what do you do about it? Well, if it's a goal and some people have more and some people have less, it's pretty obvious you take from the people who have more, you give it to the people who have less. Boom, problem solved. That's why a goal-oriented approach gives you one approach: take money from the people who have it, give it to the people who don't.
Now suppose you had instead a systems approach. What would that look like? What would be a system? Something that you could do every day that would get you not only something closer to equity, because I'm not saying that's a bad thing, you know, at least in terms of a directional thing that everybody wants to be better, but I wouldn't say equity is the goal. You should try to be better than average. Everybody should. And you should work on personal development. So personal development, a lifetime of personal development, makes racism trivial in your life because you would be so much more powerful than the forces against you. But it also makes you much more likely to get closer to that equity range or at least have a good life for yourself and your family than anything else would.
So the big problem with Democrats is they have goals. They sound pretty good. What they don't have is a system to get there. And Republicans continue to let them slide on that. And the problem is that you haven't collected your complaints into one good frame. Republicans say, for example, family is good. We should have more family stuff. How? What are you doing? You're just talking. That's a goal, right? If you're not telling me what to do about it. But I would say that in the past a family was a system, wouldn't you? Family as an organizer is a system that's worked forever.
How about religion? Religion is not really a goal. It's more like a system. Something you're paying attention to every day. You're building your life around it, etc. You're practicing it on Sundays especially. That's the system. What about a free market? Free market system, right? So Republicans are pretty close to an A, you know, grade A for understanding that a system is better than a goal. Democrats are just goal oriented. Get rid of guns. That's our goal. What do you mean, just get rid of them? Yeah, yep, that's the goal. Just get rid of them. Maybe you should think through all the ramifications. Nope. Get rid of them.
What about too many people in jail? Oh, the goal is to have fewer people in jail. So what do you do if you have a goal-oriented mindset? What do you do if there are too many people in prison? Let them out. Yeah, bail reform. Just let them out. So every time you have a goal-oriented approach, you're not just different politically. We have to be a little bit more honest about this. That's actually stupid. And it's stupid according to literally everybody. I just have to describe it in that frame and everybody agrees. Oh shoot, when you say it that way it is stupid. It's not a political difference.
See, this is the thing we keep getting wrong. Because do you think there are a lot of Republicans who don't want people to do well because they're minorities? No, no, no. But they have a system, which is I'll take care of my family and make sure we've got homeschooling because homeschooling is a system, right? So the public schools were a system but then they broke. So then the Republicans, more so than the Democrats, said, well, our system is broke. So what's the point of having a goal of getting everybody well educated if you don't have a system that can do it? So the Republicans immediately moved to an alternate system: homeschooling, etc., mostly homeschooling, right? And then you see the homeschooling system thriving because systems are better than goals.
So every time you see this argument where there's a Democrat who's got a goal that just sounds terrific but their system is just, you should call it out for being part of the stupid approach to life. You don't even have to talk about the individual case. Just say, just in general, goals are how stupid people act. Systems that can work in a variety of ways, including get you closer to something like equity, always work. Yeah, if it's a good system, it always works.
So as soon as the moment you allow yourself to go into their frame, you lose. So the frame of the Democrats is you have my stuff, you owe it to me. If you argue that, you're in the wrong argument. They made you think past the sale into their argument. The argument should be, oh wait, is that a goal-oriented approach you have there? Oh well, I'm not going to talk about that. I'm not too interested in a goal. But if there's a system that could get all of us what we want, let's talk about that and make that system work really well. But a goal? No.
The diversity should not be a goal. Diversity is something that should be something that happens on its own because everybody had a good system for advancement. Equity should not be a goal. It should be something that derives naturally out of a good system because everybody has a chance to get educated. Everybody can do whatever they want. This is whiteboard material. It probably will be. Yeah, it does need to be physical.
But now watch how well I sold this, okay? Most of the things that I try to sell you, so to speak, in my live streams, wouldn't you say most people disagree? Like, well, not most people, but everything I propose as an idea, plenty of people are going to be on the other side even if it's a good idea. There's always plenty of people. But watch this. How many people think I'm wrong that systems are better than goals? And that's the entire problem here. Watch the comments. It's a hundred percent. There won't be a single person who disagrees. It's that easy. If you have the right frame, you get the right result.
So you have to reframe it from the political opinion to systems are smart and goals are stupid. And there's never an exception to that. There won't be any exceptions to them. So yeah, you have to go to the argument that you're going to win. Stay out of their argument. Stay out of that hole. Who's got more? Who's got less? Who has a bad history? Who is the victim? Who's the oppressor? Don't even engage. Those are arguments that unproductive people have. But you're not one of them.
Now maybe before too. All right. I saw a headline on CNN that I thought was going to be one thing and turned into another. The headline was that the hosts of an ABC show, new show with Stephanopoulos, the hosts were shocked to learn that the polling for the president, if it were Biden versus Trump, is close. They were shocked to learn that given all we know, the results are still close. And I thought, wow, I certainly agree with CNN on this. It is. How are they going to explain that one of the candidates is cognitively gone and has conclusively been proven to be part of a criminal enterprise? How in the world could he still be polling as well as Trump, who in the fullness of time we could see was one of the most effective presidents of all time?
And then I opened it. It was they were shocked that Trump is polling so well. I was like, wait, what? You're shocked that Trump is polling so well? Wouldn't a hundred percent of everything we see suggest he should be polling two to one against Biden? Because one of them actually still works. Like one of them still has a functioning brain and everything. And they were shocked that the guy without a brain wasn't doing better against the guy who is one of the most effective presidents of all time. And it was quite a mind bender to enter their little weird world where everything's backwards. And it just sort of spends some time in the backwards world.
Now in their world, the fact that Trump keeps getting indicted should be indication that how in the world could they be voting for this indicted guy? And they're figuring out that their brainwashing, you know, gaslighting operation only works on their own team. The main thing that people forget is that the brainwashers aren't trying to brainwash you. They're brainwashing their own side. That's the whole game. Just brainwash their own side. Maybe get a few gray area people to go over, but they're not trying to brainwash Republicans. The Republicans can see it clearly for what it is. Now the same is true on the Republican side. The Republicans who are pushing their narrative, they're not really trying to convince any Democrats. They know that's out of reach.
All right. I'm tired of talking about how Bill Maher is not woke. I guess we could just stipulate that Bill Maher is a liberal who wishes it was more like the old days.
Deborah in all caps: Scott got brainwashed during COVID. Deborah, you got brainwashed by the people who told you my opinions were the opposite of what they were, and then you believed them. So the all-caps shouting is kind of a tell for brainwashing there. If you see me shouting in all caps, then that would be a tell that you should say, hey, hey, maybe there's something wrong with you, Scott. But if you're shouting at me in all caps based on the fact that you believed a 4chan rumor or a comic strip about my opinions, maybe you should go look at that.
All right. I think we're looking at what might be the new race hoax 2024. We've been waiting for it, but maybe it was there all along. So you saw there was that well-dressed, suspiciously well-dressed group of alleged Nazis. Although I think most were Nazis, so that part is I don't think that's too alleged. That seems like a fact. And they have nice new flags and nice new shirts and very, very well organized. And one of them is this highly tattooed guy, full face tattoo, called Boneface. And Boneface is known to have gone to fight for Ukraine for a while. But I think he was so bad they kicked him out of the Ukrainian military. Yeah, I don't know how bad you have to be to get kicked out of the Ukrainian military. But so that's what happened. I think he was kicked out anyway.
The Rolling Stone is trying to get the hoax moving because somebody yelled at him that they were DeSantis supporters. And Boneface or one of them yelled back, we support DeSantis. And that's the part that Rolling Stone decided to quote and make an article about. So he used the statement "we support DeSantis." So he does, right? Because there was a guy and he said there's words and they heard it with their own ears. They saw it with their own eyes. It's on video. So it must be true, right? I mean, I don't know. Could there be any counterargument? Is there any way to imagine that you could see it on video and yet it wouldn't be true? Is there any way to imagine such a wild thing?
Well, suppose they had given you the full quote. Do you know what the full quote was? "We support DeSantis. Hahaha. This antis." That was the full quote. I think I'm paraphrasing, but the first part was sarcasm followed by their actual opinion, which is mocking people who thought they supported DeSantis. They were actually mocking it. The opposite of what Rolling Stone reported. And they had the full video. They had the video.
Now, do you know what a wrap-up smear is? Pretty soon you're going to see a politician saying, well, there's DeSantis is racist. They said so. And people will say, no, no they didn't. And then what does the Democrat say? I can go Google it for yourself. Just Google it. You'll find out. And if you Googled it, what do you think would come up first? The debunking or the Rolling Stone article with the fake quote? You already know that. You don't have to check, right? So that's how it works. You just need to get one entity to say it's true. You get your least honest entities to do that who still have a national name, and then you act like it's true because it was in the media. That's how the whole game is played.
All right. What are the four least reliable indicators of truth in 2023? There are four indicators of truth that are the least reliable. What are they? I will label them. These are the least reliable things: your left ear, your right ear, your left eye, your right eye. Right? Those four things do not trust for forming opinions because those are the easiest to fool.
Do you know why scientists are so easy to fool? Because they don't suspect the trick. That's why they're the easiest. Because the scientists are thinking, well, I'll look for a problem within the domain of science. What about somebody just made up some? They won't even, you know, what about a video that just got edited and they didn't know that's a thing, right? As soon as you get out of your scientific domain, you think things are supposed to work the way things are supposed to work. You're completely lost because the world, the real world of news and propaganda, is nothing true at all. You know, it's just all completely ridiculous garbage.
So yeah, don't believe your eyes or your ears. And the dumbest people on social media, and you're seeing a lot of them lately, are saying I saw it with my own eyes. I heard it with my own ears. It was on tape. You must be lying because I personally witnessed it. Those people are so lost. It's the lowest standard of truth as you saw it. The lowest standard.
So what else we got going here? It's a low news day. That's about it. That's about it. So I'm still working on some plans to figure out how to educate the youth. I've got another scheme which you're going to see. I think you'll see pretty soon. I'm working on some stuff.
And what about Maui? Well, what do you think is true about Maui? Do you think it's true that high energy lasers from space started the fires? I put the odds of that at about zero. What do you think of the odds that it's a conspiracy by the rich people so they can buy the land up for cheap? I give the odds of that at zero. Zero. What are the odds? You know, I'll give everything 0.001 because you never know, right? But basically zero.
Someone says Jewish space lasers. Probably not. Probably zero. How about yeah, because there's no other way to start a grass fire. Yeah, you know, if you're going to start a grass fire, the way to do it is with space-based assets. I'd like to start a fire. Well, I can't see any way to do that from the ground. So perhaps if I shoot my laser against a mirror in space. Yes, yes, yes, that could be it. Archimedes kind of a focus light kind of an idea. Set your sailboats on fire. Yeah, yep. I know some history.
And what else do you believe about Maui? Do you believe that there wasn't enough water because the water worshiping woke guy? I'd say the odds of that are pretty close to zero. Now some parts of that story might be true, but if you believe that they let the island burn because there was one guy who wouldn't release water on time, really? I mean, just ask yourself, does that sound like a real thing that happened? Not to me. To me the official story sounds better. That there was no point in releasing it for the helicopter pickup because the helicopters weren't flying because there was too much wind. That sounds real. So I don't know about anything else, but that sounded real. I don't know if it's real, but it sounds real. The other one doesn't sound real.
Do you think it's real that Hawaii did not properly attend to fire management by getting rid of the weeds or by turning off the power? Yes. Normal incompetence explains everything. See, here's a good rule. If you have two possibilities and one of them is just people acting normal the way they always do, and one of them is an extraordinary space laser, I can't say it's never the space laser. Not never. But if you go with that operating assumption, well, I think the space laser is sounding good now. You're not going to be right very often. Go with the most ordinary.
See, this is what bothers me with all the anti-Semites. The anti-Semites have decided that they're seeing a pattern which can only be explained by a mass Jewish conspiracy. And that's why, for example, there's so many people with Jewish last names who are in the media. You can't think of any other reason that there could be a lot of people in the best jobs in the world. You can't think of any normal reason for that. Like if you went to the colleges of America, would you find that one identifiable group is just killing it on education? Do you think you would find that? Of course you would. Of course you would. Yeah. And if one group is just killing it on education, like they're really getting that right, what kind of jobs are they likely to have? Sort of blue collar construction jobs? Or would they look for good jobs like the kind that everybody would want? You know, it would be a really good job. Head of a media company. I'd like that job, wouldn't you? I mean, if you like that kind of thing, wouldn't you think those are the best jobs?
So we're all going to be surprised that the people who are definitely doing the best in school have some results that would be completely predictable based on having the best academic results. Then on top of that, I can't speak for the Jewish community, but are there a lot of Jewish parents who are telling their kids that they should work for the post office? Because mine did. My father recommended I work at, I grew up to work for the post office because he said the benefits were great. The overtime pay was excellent and the retirement was good too. It was good steady work. And if you work for the post office, you'd always have a job. Yeah. So my parents, who are not Jewish, recommended I get a nice low-end job and settle in on that. Huh. How about that?
Do you think a lot of Jewish households are like, you know what you should really think of? You should really think of plumbing. Have you thought of plumbing? No, they're probably saying you should be a professional of some sort. You know, something that wears a suit or a doctor outfit. And you're going to make something of yourself. You're going to be a writer, an executive or a finance banker or a lawyer, doctor, scientist kind of thing.
So now compare your theory if you're an anti-Semite and you think there's a giant conspiracy. Compare your theory. Now here are the things you have to accept to accept your Jewish conspiracy. You'd have to accept that for some reason conservative Jews are not aware of the conspiracy. How'd that happen? How is it the conservatives, the ones that might be on the same side of those of you who have conspiracy theories, why are the people on your same side not aware of the theory? You're not going to find anybody.
Second, in your view, is the Jewish conspiracy the best kept secret ever? Because I've worked my entire professional career. I've always been around top successful Jewish executives, publishers, agents, talent, way above the percentage that you'd imagine for most kinds of careers because I'm in that kind of a job, right? I have a good job surrounded by people. Other people have good jobs. Why do I have a good job? Because I took school really seriously. That's why I have a good job. I took it really seriously. And so I work with a whole bunch of other people who took school really seriously. Fortunately my mother didn't think I should grow up and work in the post office. She was more of a be a lawyer type.
So do you think that I could spend decades working in and around Jewish professionals and I wouldn't catch a whiff of this bias which you all see that's driving them towards some kind of big conspiracy? That I would spend 30 years, a lot of my best friends, and then nobody would mention it? Like it wouldn't even come up? And that I would notice not a single case, not a single case in my entire career where I even had a whiff that anyone who was Jewish was treating me in any way other than what talent I brought to the situation. Not a whiff. You don't think the eye of all people would be able to detect bias and discrimination against me? You don't think I could detect that? It's all I talk about. It's like 75 percent of everything I talk about is some bias that affects me. I've never seen any.
You can spend your whole life working with the top professionals in the Jewish world. You just would never detect anything like that. It's probably the most open-minded group of people that I've associated with. That's my experience. So the anti-Semites, you're going to have to figure out what's wrong with your theory because the ordinary theory of there's just people who valued school so they do well, that's kind of the whole story.
Now if you say to me but they also support Israel, I say well so do I. So do a lot of people. You know, is that some big surprise? Like does that tell you something? I mean they're one of our strongest allies. Yeah, of course we support. Right. Anyway, I just wanted to put that in there.
Do I purchase my coffee from Mike Lindell? No, I'm just keeping it easy. I draw Starbucks.
Odds of a kraken? I don't know. Probably the same as ever. You know, the only thing that would suggest there's going to be a kraken is just that it feels like that would be the right point in the movie for it to happen. But in terms of other evidence, I don't see it. You know, every day I read a story about a new set of evidence of election problems, but they don't pan out. So I haven't seen one that I'm satisfied has turned into something real. But there might be. I wouldn't rule it out. Do not rule it out.
Snoopy boobs is here just to say bad things about me. So we'll make you go away. You're here every day just to say bad things about me. How sad your life must be. Imagine waking up and saying, oh, I can't wait to be a pain in the ass to one person I don't know. What's the motivation of that?
Scott has never mentioned the Sackler family. Of course I have, Chucky. And he's calling me a clown for never mentioning. Of course I have. Of course I don't care what happens to them. There's this type of troll.
Oh, by the way, there was some evidence of a vague tweet around something where there's some evidence that the DeSantis group are behind every rumor you're hearing about Vivek because they said they were. So there was actually on tape some operative who said it in his own words. Everything they hear about Vivek comes from us. So they're massively flooding with the fake stories. So all the stories you hear about the WEF and about his foreign business, that's all fake stuff coming from the DeSantis trolls. All fixed up.
You know what? Let me put out a principle for you. I don't know if Trump does that. Does Trump do that? Have you ever heard that there's a bunch of Trump trolls whose job it is to say things that are not true? There might be. There might be, but I'm not aware of them. But are they organized? Obviously trolls exist. That's not the question. But are they organized like allegedly this? Trump does it himself? I don't know. I feel like Trump generally says things that he thinks are true but he might add some hyperbole. I don't see him just making up like, you know, it's hyperbole but it doesn't look like just made out of nothing. That does seem different. Yeah, he is directionally accurate.
All right. And Al is saying that. So Al, who is probably a DeSantis troll, says Vivek conspiracies are true. DeSantis has no marketing machine. Does that sound like a real person would say that? That doesn't even sound like a real person, does it? Yeah. Well, I would say this. If I were a Republican, I'm a registered Democrat, but if I were a Republican and I knew that one of the people in the primary on my team was sending young people to make up stuff about one of the most productive people in the party, Vivek, I would never vote for that guy or a woman, right? I disagree. This to me, if it's true that he has an organized group of people spreading rumors about Vivek that are not true, that's disqualifying. You know, even if it's a PAC, I don't care. He knows it. If he knows it's happening and he doesn't stop it, that's disqualifying. Attacking your own team at that level. Acting like a Democrat. That's exactly it. That would be acting like a Democrat. Thinking that you could win by, doesn't need any to win. See, that's the sad thing. All he had to do is run a capable campaign, which he didn't do. But that should have been enough to be the solid second choice in case something happens with Trump. And there's a lot of danger of that.
Yeah. Who talks politics in person? Not many. I sure don't.
Let this guy that here's no Norm says Vivek is an affirmative action candidate. He gets the easy treatment because he's brown. You know it's true, Scott, for one loves Vivek and brown people, Norm. I do love brown people. What is your point? Should I not? Why can't I love brown people? I've always loved brown and black people. You know, if you live in California and you live in an area that's doing well, half of your neighbors are Indian Americans. Like they're awesome people. If you haven't partied with an Indian American, you have not partied. Can anybody want to back me up on that? If you haven't been invited to a party at an Indian American house, you haven't been to a good party yet. They know how to have fun. Amazing people. Huge benefit to the country. Probably one of the best things that's happening to America is the influence of Indian Americans.
All right. He is easy treatment. Somebody thinks that Jose gets easy treatment on CNN. Like what reality are you watching? It's so funny.
All right. I'll just look at your comments here for a second. Yeah, I don't understand. I would love to have some kind of personal conversations with my trolls. Yeah, wouldn't it be great if I could just like transport the troll from social media like just to sit next to me? And I would just say, what the hell is going on here? The first question would be, are you drunk? Because at least half of them just look drunk. But if they're not drunk, I would say, what exactly is the game here? Are you just trying to get a little dopamine hit? Or do you believe any of the things you say? Because it doesn't sound like things that anybody would believe.
And I did see that Nikki Haley was second in polling after DeSantis, which would be third. I think she's got, I think there's a big desire in the Republican party for a female candidate. When I say big desire, Deborah, Deborah comes back imagining that she heard something true about me. Bye goodbye, Deborah. I wonder if Deborah is a real woman. Okay.
Now the trolls, it's always the same three trolls. If you think there are a bunch of trolls on YouTube, they're not. It's the same three. They just change their names and come back. You could tell them. You tell the same ones.
All right. That, ladies and gentlemen, is all you've got for this Monday. What is today? Labor Day, right? Labor Day in the United States. So if you're going into labor today, it's a perfect day for it. I, unlike many of you, will be working today because I never rest. I never ask. All right. It's all.
do do good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and on a slow news day like today it's exactly where you want to be because what would you rather be doing sleeping in No Nonsense you want to be here and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even Canada could not understand all you need is a couple of my girl glass of tanker Charles is Diana canteen Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure it's a dopamine the day the thing makes everything better I will stipulate it's called the simultaneous sip when it happens now go ah so good I I saw a reference to the men who live alone uh die die younger and the joke was no it just seems like it or no I don't know what the joke was but that's one of those backwards correlation ones who do you think people marry people who look like they're going to die pretty soon or people who look healthy I got a feeling that nobody marries somebody who looks like they're going to die so probably married people do live longer yep so there's a big old festival called birding man and things went wrong I don't know can you believe it that there's a big Festival that famous people went to and if something went wrong hello whoever heard of this a thing like that but I well there was a flood that turned their dirt into mud and and now oh God the the experts were right you can't actually talk about burning man for more than 30 seconds without falling asleep let's try it again well there's a festival it's called A Burning Man and there's mud nobody cares about Burning Man unless you're there how many of you are at birding man no nobody can we all agree can we can we stipulate that we don't care what happens I mean I hope everybody's safe but we don't care if they're muddy and we don't really care if you don't care at all basically so there's uh in the on social media I saw a report of that study that says Ivermectin really worked well so does that sound credible there's a study that has something to do with something about the pandemic is the study incredible oh let me look at the details Scott no you don't get to look at the details well how will I know if it's a randomized controlled trial or not now answer the question without knowing that but but but what if it's done by really credible people no answer the question the answer is no there's no credible data that has ever come out of the pandemic nothing not nothing that agrees with you nothing that disagrees with you no freaking idea we we will forever go to the end of our days not really knowing what happened but that allows everybody to assume they're the ones who got it right so I guess that's good how many of you heard a an audio which I'm suspecting is not real but I don't know in what way it would have been faked that alleges uh that James Clapper is on there being allegedly interviewed about something sounds like a legal context and if any of it were true it would be shocking to the point of unbelievable and what do I say when you see news stories that are unbelievable they're almost always not true now the online defense is that it wasn't really James Clapper do you believe that do you know who would start who would start an argument that it was really another guy oh and the other guy that people say this it's really sad but tragically he died recently yeah yeah the person who they say it was uh died in May so coincidentally the person who was who sounds exactly like Clapper who really wasn't he sounds exactly like him and also coincidentally died let's say that's two really big coincidences for the same person died recently just when we'd want to talk to him and also sounds exactly like somebody that nobody else in the world sounds like I'll bet you you could take seven eight billion people you wouldn't find one that sounded like Clapper but we found one recently died recently died yeah now why should you believe about this story nothing there's not a single credible part of this story I would tell you what he said it's you know real conspiratorial stuff the the essence of it is that some prominent deep State member whose name I won't mention because it's not credible enough is behind a bunch of blackmail schemes of notable people you've heard of the the only thing it has in his favor is as bipartisan so it doesn't seem to be you know just pro-democrat or pro-republican sounds like something that would involve both parties so that's the only thing that gives it a little feel of maybe true but it's it's Way Beyond is way below the line of credibility but it's fun if you'd like to know for sure if it's Clapper that would be easy because there are programs I think you probably you know Google it and it would come right up there is a way to check if somebody's word pattern usage matches their past pattern of usage and if somebody's just speaking off the top of their head which is what the audio purports you can match it pretty much every time it'd be like a 98 chance you could match it so if anybody cared you just go find one of those language matching apps match it up to things he said before and you would know for sure but I'm not going to tell you what he said you can look at it on online I just don't want to repeat it more than more than I have to but it would be shocking and change the world if it were true all right Israel is having a problem with uh African immigrants I guess they had a big brawl in Tel Aviv and hundreds were involved in Broadway and rioting and so Netanyahu says he's going to deport the Africans do you think that's going to happen do you think he's really going to deport Africans from Israel I don't know I've got I've got my doubts maybe he'll Deport people who were no you know captured on video causing trouble you might do that but do you think he's going to take every Africa you know a few hundred had it right can he get can he get away with that politically domestically because I got a feeling that the Israelis are pretty much against discriminating release a lot of them I don't know I wouldn't speak for all of them but I would think that there's a because of their history presumably there would be very against targeting any any group of ethnic people I'm not sure he'll get away with it I mean you said he'd do it but who knows if that's really going to happen who knows we'll keep an eye on that it might be a you know Canary in the coal mine for something happening over here but I doubt it I doubt it uh representative Nancy mace who continues to be one of the more interesting people in politics only because she says stuff you're not supposed to say on TV and so here's something she said out loud on CNN and CNN aired it without bleeping it and they replayed it without bleeping it so she said she was talking about how the Republicans are handling the issue of abortion and she said quote we cannot be to women huh and I thought oh that's perfect that that's that's my exact opinion the political part of my opinion I don't give you my own opinion on abortion because as I often say leave it to women you know I'll just follow the leader women if women want it to be illegal in my state all agree if they wanted to be illegal in my state I'll just say it wasn't my decision so but Nancy mace is a woman and she's got a a credible right to her opinion on this and I like the fact that she's calling it out the the political element of it the political element of it is you're going to have to make sure that women are okay with whatever it is the Republicans say or you're not going to win any elections now that's different from the issue of what you think about abortion itself I'm just talking about the messaging the messaging has to be a little Smarter on the Republican side I would I would say it's lacking quite a bit um and that it's probably 50 percent less good than it could be the messaging part without changing the message so I would listen to Nancy Mason messaging she seems really good on that stuff um so I saw a tweet from Joe Biden saying that diversity is the thing that he's working for you he's trying to get that diversity up in the country and here's my reframe on diversity diversity is a goal right I mean that's what the President says we want more diversity it's a goal goals are stupid in general just in general goals are suboptimal I wrote a book about it it's the most famous thing I've ever done there are many books on Amazon right now they have picked up that point the systems are better than goals and you know they're they're like a whole explosion of books on the very point the systems are better than goals but who doesn't know that apparently the president of the United States one of the most one of the most basic understood truths of business and life and being effective is that you need a system if all you have is a goal you're in trouble now what what would you do if you treated diversity as a goal you would take from people who have what you want now this would be true of equity or diversity because because diversity is just part of equity so let's just say let's just say Equity instead because I'd say diversity is a subset of the larger question of equity so Equity if that's your goal what do you do about it well if it's a goal and some people have more and some people have less it's pretty obvious you take from the people who have more you give it to the people who have less boom problem solved that's that's why a goal-oriented approach gives you one approach take money from the people who have it give it to the people who don't now suppose you had instead a systems approach what would that look like what would be a system something that you could do every day that would get you not only something closer to equity because I'm not saying that's a bad thing you know at least in terms of a you know directional thing that everybody wants to be better but I wouldn't say Equity is the goal you should you should try to be better than average everybody should and you should work on personal development so personal development a lifetime of personal development makes racism trivial in your life because you would be so much more powerful than the forces against you but it also makes you much more likely to get closer to that Equity range or at least have a good good life for yourself and your family than anything else would so the big problem with Democrats is they have goals they sound pretty good what they don't have is a system to get there and Republicans continue to let them slide on that and the problem is that you haven't you haven't collected your complaints into one good frame use Republicans say for example family is good we should have more family stuff how how what are you doing you're just talking that's a goal right if you're not telling me what to do about it but I would say that in the past a family was a system wouldn't you family as an organizer is a system that's worked worked forever how about religion religion is not really a goal it's more like a system something you're you know paying attention to every day you're building your life around it Etc you're practicing it on Sundays especially that's the system what about uh free market free market system right so Republicans are you know pretty close to an a you know grade A for understanding that a system is better than a goal Democrats are just goal oriented uh get rid of guns that's our goal what I mean just just get rid of them yeah yep that's the goal just get rid of them maybe you should think through all the ramifications nope get rid of them uh what about too many people in jail oh the goal is to have fewer people in jail so what do you do if you have a goal-oriented mindset what do you do if there are too many people in prison let them out yeah bail reform just let them out so every time you have a goal-oriented approach you're not just different politically we have to be a little bit more honest about this that's actually stupid and it's stupid according to literally everybody I just have to describe it in that frame and everybody agrees oh shoot when you say it that way it is stupid it's not a political difference see this is the thing we keep getting wrong because do you think there are a lot of Republicans who don't want people to do well because they're minorities no no no but they have a system which is I'll take care of my family and make sure we've got homeschooling because homeschooling is what it's a system right so the public schools were a system but then they broke so then the Republicans more so than the Democrats said well our our system is broke so what's the point of having a goal of getting everybody well educated if you don't have a system that can do it so the Republicans immediately moved to an alternate system homeschooling Etc mostly homeschooling right and then you see the homeschooling system thriving because systems are better than goals so every time you see this argument where there's a Democrat who's got a goal that just sounds terrific but their system is just you should call it out for being part of the stupid approach to life you don't even have to talk about the individual case just say just in general goals for their system or how stupid people act systems that can work in a variety of ways including get you closer to something like equity always work yeah if it's a good system it always works so as soon as the the moment you you allow yourself to go into their frame you lose so the frame of the Democrats is you have my stuff you owe it to me if you argue that you're in the wrong argument they may they made you think past the sale into their argument the argument should be oh wait is that a goal-oriented approach you have there oh well I'm not going to talk about that I'm not not too interested in a goal but if there's a system they could get all of us what we want let's talk about that and make that system work really well but a goal now I the diversity should not be a goal diversity issue is something that should be something that happens on its own because everybody had a good system for advancement Equity is should not be a goal it should be something that derives naturally out of a good system because everybody has you know a chance to get educated everybody can do whatever they want this is whiteboard material it probably will be yeah it does need to be physical but uh now now watch how well I sold this okay most of the things that I you know try to sell you so to speak sell it but um in my live streams wouldn't you say most people disagree like well not most people but everything I propose as an idea plenty of people are going to be on the other side even if it's a good idea there's always plenty of people but but watch this how many people think I'm wrong the systems are better than goals and that's the entire problem here watch watch the comments it's a hundred percent there won't be a single person who disagrees something it's that it's that it's really that easy if you have the right frame you get the right result so you have to reframe it from the political opinion to systems or smart and goals are stupid and there's never an exception to that there won't be any exceptions to them so yeah you have to go to the argument that you're going to win stay out of their argument stay out of that hole who's got more who's got less who has a bad history who is the victim who's the oppressor don't even engage those are arguments that unproductive people have but you're not one of them now maybe before too all right um I saw a headline on CNN that I thought was going to be one thing and turned into another that the headline was that the uh the hosts of an ABC show new show with Stephanopoulos the hosts were shocked to learn that the polling for the president if it were Biden versus Trump is close they were shocked to learn that given all we know the results are still close and I thought wow I certainly agree with CNN on this it is how are they going to explain that one of the candidates is cognitively gone and has conclusively been proven to be part of a criminal Enterprise how in the world could he still be polling as well as Trump who in the fullness of time we could see was one of the most effective presidents of all time and then I opened it it was they were shocked that Trump is polling so well I was like wait what you're shocked that Trump is polling so well wouldn't a hundred percent of everything we see suggest he should be polling two to one against Biden because one of them actually still works like one of them still has a functioning brain and everything and they were shocked that the guy without a brain wasn't doing better against the guy who is one of the most effective presidents of all time and it was quite a mind Bender to enter their little weird world where everything's backwards and it just sort of spends some time in the backwards world now in their world the fact that Trump keeps getting indicted should should be uh indication that how in the world could they be voting for this indicted guy and they're figuring out that their their brainwashing you know gaslighting operation only works on their own team the the main thing that people forget is that the brainwashers aren't trying to brainwash you they're brainwashing their own side that's the whole game just brainwash their own side maybe get a few you know gray area people to go over but they're not trying to brainwash Republicans the Republicans can see it clearly for what it is now the same is true on the Republican side the Republicans who are you know let's say pushing their narrative they're not really trying to convince any Democrats they know that's Out Of Reach all right um I'm tired of talking about how Bill Maher uh is not woke I guess we could just stipulate the Bill Maher is a liberal who wishes it was more like the old days Deborah in all caps Scott got brainwashed during covet Deborah you got brainwashed by the people who told you my opinions were the opposite of what they were and then you believed them so the all-caps shouting is kind of a tell for brainwashing there if you see me shouting in all caps then that would be a tell that you should say hey hey maybe there's something wrong with you Scott but if you're shouting me in me on all caps based on the fact that you believed a 4chan rumor or a comic strip about my opinions maybe you should go look at that all right um the uh I think we're looking at what might be the new uh race hoax 2024 we've been waiting for it but maybe it was all it was there all along so you saw there was that well-dressed suspiciously well-dressed group of alleged Nazis although I think most were Nazis so that part is I don't think that's too alleged um that seems like a fact and they have nice new flags and nice new shirts and very very well organized and one of them is this highly tattooed Guy full face tattoo called bone face and Bone face is known to have gone to a fight for Ukraine for a while but I think he I think he was so bad they kicked him out of the Ukrainian military yeah I don't know how bad you have to be to get kicked out of the Ukrainian military but so that's what happened uh I think he was kicked down anyway uh the I think Rolling Stone is trying to get the hoax moving because somebody yelled at him that they were De.
Santis supporters and Bone face or one of them yelled back uh we support De.
Santis and that's the part that Rolling Stone decided to quote and make an article about so he used the statement we support De.
Santis so he does right because there was a guy and he said there's words and they heard it with their own they heard it with their own ears they saw it with their own eyes it's on video so it must be true right I mean I I don't know it could be any counter argument is there any way to imagine that you could see it on video and yet it wouldn't be true is there any way to imagine such a such a wild thing well suppose they had given you the full quote do you know what the full quote was we support we we support De.
Santis hahaha this antis that was the full quote I think I'm paraphrasing but the first part was sarcasm followed by their actual opinion which is mocking people who thought they supported De.
Santis they were actually mocking it the opposite of what Rolling Stone reported and they had the full video they had the video now do you know what a wrap up spear is pretty soon you're going to see a politician saying well there's De.
Santis is racist they said so and people will say no no they didn't and then what does the Democrat say I can go Google it for yourself just Google it you'll find out and if you Googled it what do you think would come up first the debunking or the Rolling Stone article with the rhubarb fake you know you already know that you don't have to check right so that's how it works you just need to get one entity to say it's true you get your least let's say at least honest entities to do that who still have a national name and then you act like it's true because it was in the media that's how the whole game is played all right there are what are the four least reliable indicators of Truth in 2023.
there are four indicators of truth that are the least reliable what are they I will let I will label them these are the least reliable things your left ear your right ear your left eye your right eye right those four things do not trust for forming opinions because those are the easiest to fool do you know why scientists are so easy to fool because they don't suspect the trick that's why they're the easiest because the scientists are thinking well I'll look for a problem within the domain of science what about somebody just made up some they won't even you know what what about a video that just got edited and they didn't know that's a thing right as soon as you get out of your scientific domain you think things are supposed to work the way things are supposed to work you're completely lost because the world the real world of news and propaganda is nothing true at all you know it's just all completely ridiculous garbage so um yeah don't believe your eyes your ears and the the dumbest people on social media and you're seeing a lot of them lately are saying I saw it with my own eyes I heard it with my own ears it was on tape you know you must be lying because I personally witnessed it those are those people are so lost it's the lowest standard of Truth as you saw it the lowest standard um so what else we got going here it's a low news day uh that's about it that's about it so I'm still working on some plans to figure out how to educate the youth I've got another scheme which you're going to see I think you'll see pretty soon I'm working on some stuff and uh what about Maui well what do you think is true about Maui do you think it's true that high energy lasers from space started the fires I put the odds of that at about zero uh what do you think of the odds that it's a conspiracy by the rich people so they can buy the land up for cheap I give the odds of that at zero zero what are the odds you know I'll give you know I'll give everything 0.001 because you never know right but basically zero um someone says Jewish space lasers probably probably not probably zero um how about yeah because there's no other way to start a grass fire yeah you know if you're going to start a grass fire the way to do it is with space based assets I'd like to start a fire well I can't see any way to do that from the ground so perhaps if I shoot my laser against a mirror in space yes yes yes that could be it Archimedes kind of a focus light kind of an idea set your sailboats on fire yeah yep I know some history and what else do you believe about Maui do you believe that there wasn't enough water because the the water worshiping woke guy I'd say the odds of that are pretty close to zero now some parts of that story might be true but if you believe that if you believe they let the island burn because there was one guy who wouldn't release oil or water on time really I mean just ask yourself does that sound like a real thing that happened not to me to me the official story sounds better that there was no point in releasing it for the helicopter pickup because the helicopters weren't flying because there was too much wind that sounds real so I don't know about anything else but that sounded real I don't know if it's real but it sounds unreal the other one doesn't sound real uh um there's do you do you think it's real that Hawaii did not properly attend to fire management by getting rid of the weeds or by turning off the power yes yeah normal incompetence explains everything see here's a good rule if you have two possibilities and one of them is just people acting normal the way they always do and one of them is an extraordinary space laser I can't say it's never the space laser not never but if you if you go with that operating consumption well I think I think the space laser is sounding good now you're not going to be right very often go with the most ordinary see this is what bothers me with all the anti-semites the anti-summits have decided that they're seeing a pattern which can only be explained by a mass Jewish conspiracy and that's why for example there's so many people with Jewish last names who are in the media you can't think of any other reason that there could be a lot of people in the best jobs in the world you can't think of any normal reason for that like if you went to the colleges of America would you find that one identifiable group is just killing it on education do you think you would find that of course you would of course you would yeah and if if one group is just killing it on education like they're really getting that right what kind of jobs are they likely to have sort of blue collar you know construction jobs or or would they look for good jobs like the kind that everybody would want you know it would be a really good job head of a media company I'd like that job wouldn't you I mean if you if you like that kind of thing wouldn't you think those are the best jobs so so we're all going to be surprised that the people who are definitely doing the best in school right uh have have some results that would be completely predictable based on having the best academic um you know academic results then on top of that I can't speak speak for the Jewish Community but are there a lot of Jewish parents who are telling their kids that they should work for the Post Office because mine did my father recommended I work at I grew up to work for the post office because he said the benefits were great the overtime was the overtime pay was excellent and the retirement was good too it was good steady work and if you work for the Post Office you'd always have a job yeah so my parents who are not Jewish recommended I get a nice nice low-end job and settle in on that huh how about that do you think Jewish a lot of Jewish households are like you know you know what you should really think of you should really think of Plumbing have you have you thought of Plumbing no they're probably saying you should be a professional of some sort you know some something that wears a suit or a doctor outfit and you're gonna make something of yourself you're going to be a writer an executive or a finance Banker or a lawyer doctor scientist kind of thing so now now compare your theory if you're an anti-semite and you think there's a giant conspiracy compare your theory now here are here are the things you have to accept to accept your um Jewish conspiracy you'd have to accept that for some reason conservative Jews are not aware of the conspiracy how'd that happen how is it the conservatives the one you know ones that might be on the same side of those of you who have conspiracy theories why are the people on your same side not aware of the theory you're not going to find anybody now second are in your view are the the part is the Jewish conspiracy the best kept secret ever because I've worked my entire you know professional career I've always been around top successful Jewish Executives Publishers agents Talent you know way way above the uh the percentage that you'd imagine for most kinds of careers because I'm in that kind of a job right I have a good job surrounded by people other people have good jobs why do I have a good job because I took school really seriously that's why I have a good job I took it really seriously and so I work with a whole bunch of other people who took school really seriously fortunately my mother didn't think I should grow up and work in the post office she was more of a be a lawyer type so do you think that I could spend decades working in and around Jewish professionals and I wouldn't catch a wish whiff of this bias which you all see that's driving them towards some kind of you know big conspiracy that I would spend 30 years you know a lot of my best friends and then nobody would mention it like it wouldn't even come up and that and that I would notice not a single case not a single case in my entire career where I even had a whiff that anyone who was Jewish was treating me in any way other than you know what talent I brought to the situation not a whiff you don't think you don't think the eye of all people would be able to detect you know bias and discrimination against me you don't think I could detect that it's all I talk about it's it's like 75 percent of everything I talk about is you know some bias that affects me I've never seen any you can spend your whole life working with the top Professionals in the Jewish world you just would never detect anything like that is probably the most open-minded group of people that I've associated with that's my that's my experience so the the anti-semites you're gonna have to you're gonna have to figure out what's wrong with your theory because the ordinary theory of there's just people who valued school so they do well that's kind of the whole story now if you say to me but but but they also support Israel I say well so do I so do a lot of people you know is that some big surprise like does that tell you something I mean they're they're one of our strongest allies yeah of course we support right anyway I just wanted to put that in there uh do I purchase my coffee from Mike Lindell no I'm just keeping it easy draw Starbucks um odds of a kraken I don't know probably the same as ever you know the the only thing that would suggest there's going to be a kraken is just that it feels like that would be the right point in the movie for it to happen but in terms of other evidence I don't see it you know every day I read a story about a new a new set of evidence of election problems but they don't pan out so I've I haven't seen one that I'm satisfied has turned into something real but there might be I wouldn't rule it out do not rule it out Snoopy boobs is here just to say bad things about me so we'll make you go away you're here every day just to say bad things about me how sad your life must be imagine waking up and saying oh I can't wait to be a pain in the ass to one person I don't know what's the motivation of that Scott has never mentioned the Sackler family of course I have Chucky and he's calling me a clown for never mentioning of course I have of course I don't care what happens to them there's this type of troll oh by the way there was some evidence of a vague tweeted around something where there's some evidence that the De.
Santis group are behind every rumor you're hearing about Vivek because they said they were so there was actually on tape some operative who who said it in his own words everything they hear about Vivek comes from us so they're massively flooding with the fake fake stories so all the stories you hear about the wef and uh about his form of business that's all fake stuff coming from the De.
Santis trolls all fixed up you know what you know let me let me put out a principle for you I don't know if Trump does that does Trump do that have you ever heard that there's a bunch of trump trolls whose job it is to say things that are not true there might be there might be but I'm not aware of them but are they organized obviously Trolls Exist that's not the question but are they organized like allegedly this Trump does it himself I don't know I I feel like Trump generally says things that he thinks are true but he might add some hyperbole I don't see him just making up like you know it's hyperbole but it doesn't look like just made out of nothing that does seem different yeah he is directionally accurate all right and Al is saying that so Al who is probably a De.
Santis troll says Vivek conspiracies are true De.
Santis has no marketing machine does that sound like a real person would say that that doesn't even sound like a real person does it yeah well I would say this if I were a Republican uh I'm a registered Democrat but if I were a Republican and I knew that one of the people in the primary on my team was sending young people to make up about um one of the most productive people in the party Vivek I would never vote for that guy or a woman right I I disant this to me if it's true that he has that there's an organized group of people spreading rumors about Vivek that are not true that's disqualifying you know even if it's a pack I don't care he knows it if he knows it's happening and he doesn't stop it that's disqualified attacking your own team at that level acting acting like a Democrat that's that's exactly it that would be acting like a Democrat thinking that you could win by doesn't need any to win see that's that's the sad thing all he had to do is run a capable um you know a capable Campaign which he didn't do but that should have been enough to be you know the solid second choice in case something happens with Trump and there's a lot of danger of that yeah who talks politics in person not many I sure don't let this guy that here's no Norm says Vivek is an affirmative action candidate he gets the easy treatment because he's brown you know it's true Scott for one loves Vivek and brown people Norm I do love brown people what what is your point should I not why can't I love brown people I've always loved I've always loved brown and black people you know if you live in California and you live in an um let's say an area that's doing well half of your neighbors are Indian Americans like they're they're they're awesome people if you haven't partied with an Indian American you have not partied can anybody want to back me up on that if if you haven't been invited to a party at an Indian American house you haven't been to a good party yet they they know how to have fun amazing people you know huge benefit to the country probably one of the best things that's happening to America is the is the influence of Indian Americans all right uh he is easy treatment somebody thinks that uh Jose gets easy treatment on CNN like what what reality are you watching it's so funny all right all right I'll just look at your comments here for a second yeah I don't under I would love to have a some kind of personal conversations with my trolls yeah wouldn't it be great if I could just like transport the troll from social media like just to sit next to me and I would just say what the hell is going on here the first question would be are you drunk because you know at least half of them just look drunk but if they're not drunk I would say what what exactly is the game here are you just trying to get a little dopamine hit or do you believe any of the things you decide because because it doesn't sound like things that anybody would believe and I did see that Nikki hilley was second in polling after De.
Santis which would be third um I think she's got I think there's a big I think there's a big desire in the Republican party for a female candidate when I say big desire Deborah Deborah comes back imagining that she heard something true about me bye goodbye Debra I wonder if Deborah is a real woman okay now the the trolls it's always the same three trolls if you think there are a bunch of trolls on on You.
Tube they're not it's the same three they just change their names and come back you could tell them you tell the same ones all right that ladies and gentlemen is all you've got for this uh Monday what is today Labor Day right Labor Day in the United States so if you're going into labor today it's a perfect day for it I unlike many of you will be working today because I never rest I never asked all right it's all
do do
[Music]
[Applause]
good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization it's
called coffee with Scott Adams and on a
slow news day like today it's exactly
where you want to be because what would
you rather be doing sleeping in No
Nonsense you want to be here and if
you'd like to take this experience up to
levels that even Canada could not
understand all you need is a couple of
my girl glass of tanker Charles is Diana
canteen Joker flask a vessel of any kind
fill it with your favorite liquid
I like coffee and join me now for the
unparalleled pleasure it's a dopamine
the day the thing makes everything
better I will stipulate it's called the
simultaneous sip when it happens now go
ah
so good
I I saw a reference to the men who live
alone uh die die younger
and the joke was no it just seems like
it
or no I don't know what the joke was but
that's one of those backwards
correlation ones
who do you think people marry
people who look like they're going to
die pretty soon or people who look
healthy
I got a feeling that nobody marries
somebody who looks like they're going to
die so
probably married people do live longer
yep
so there's a big old festival called
birding man and things went wrong
I don't know can you believe it that
there's a big Festival that famous
people went to and if something went
wrong
hello whoever heard of this a thing like
that but I well there was a flood that
turned their dirt into mud and and now
oh God
the the experts were right you can't
actually talk about burning man for more
than 30 seconds without falling asleep
let's try it again
well there's a festival it's called A
Burning Man
and there's mud
nobody cares about Burning Man
unless you're there
how many of you are at birding man
no nobody
can we all agree can we can we stipulate
that we don't care what happens
I mean I hope everybody's safe
but we don't care if they're muddy and
we don't really care if
you don't care at all basically
so there's uh in the on social media I
saw a report of that
study that says Ivermectin really worked
well
so
does that sound credible
there's a study that has something to do
with something about the pandemic
is the study incredible
oh let me look at the details Scott no
you don't get to look at the details
well how will I know if it's a
randomized controlled trial or not now
answer the question without knowing that
but but but what if it's done by really
credible people no answer the question
the answer is no there's no credible
data that has ever come out of the
pandemic nothing not nothing that agrees
with you nothing that disagrees with you
no freaking idea
we we will forever go to the end of our
days not really knowing what happened
but that allows everybody to assume
they're the ones who got it right
so I guess that's good
how many of you heard a an audio which
I'm suspecting is not real
but I don't know in what way it would
have been faked that alleges uh
that James Clapper
is on there being allegedly
interviewed about something sounds like
a legal context
and if any of it were true it would be
shocking to the point of unbelievable
and what do I say when you see news
stories that are unbelievable
they're almost always not true
now the online defense is that it wasn't
really James Clapper
do you believe that
do you know who would start who would
start an argument that it was really
another guy oh and the other guy that
people say this
it's really sad but tragically he died
recently yeah yeah the person who they
say it was uh died in May so
coincidentally the person who was who
sounds exactly like Clapper
who really wasn't
he sounds exactly like him and also
coincidentally died
let's say that's two really big
coincidences for the same person died
recently just when we'd want to talk to
him and also sounds exactly like
somebody that nobody else in the world
sounds like
I'll bet you you could take seven eight
billion people you wouldn't find one
that sounded like Clapper but we found
one recently died recently died yeah
now
why should you believe about this story
nothing
there's not a single credible part of
this story I would tell you what he said
it's you know real conspiratorial stuff
the the essence of it is
that some prominent deep State member
whose name I won't mention because it's
not credible enough is behind a bunch of
blackmail schemes of notable people
you've heard of
the the only thing it has in his favor
is as bipartisan
so it doesn't seem to be you know just
pro-democrat or pro-republican sounds
like something that would involve both
parties
so
that's the only thing that gives it a
little feel of maybe true but it's it's
Way Beyond is way below the line of
credibility
but it's fun
if you'd like to know for sure
if it's Clapper that would be easy
because there are programs I think you
probably you know Google it and it would
come right up there is a way to check if
somebody's word pattern usage matches
their past pattern of usage and if
somebody's just speaking off the top of
their head which is what the audio
purports
you can match it pretty much every time
it'd be like a 98 chance you could match
it so if anybody cared
you just go find one of those language
matching apps match it up to things he
said before and you would know for sure
but I'm not going to tell you what he
said you can look at it on online I just
don't want to repeat it more than
more than I have to
but it would be shocking and change the
world if it were true
all right Israel is having a problem
with uh African immigrants
I guess they had a big brawl in Tel Aviv
and hundreds were involved in Broadway
and rioting and so Netanyahu says he's
going to deport the Africans
do you think that's going to happen
do you think he's really going to deport
Africans from Israel
I don't know I've got I've got my doubts
maybe he'll Deport people who were no
you know captured on video causing
trouble
you might do that but do you think he's
going to take every Africa
you know a few hundred had it right
can he get can he get away with that
politically domestically
because I got a feeling that the
Israelis are pretty much against
discriminating
release a lot of them I don't know I
wouldn't speak for all of them but I
would think that there's a because of
their history
presumably there would be very against
targeting any any group of ethnic people
I'm not sure he'll get away with it
I mean you said he'd do it
but who knows if that's really going to
happen who knows we'll keep an eye on
that it might be a you know Canary in
the coal mine for something happening
over here but I doubt it
I doubt it
uh
representative Nancy mace who continues
to be one of the more interesting people
in politics only because she says stuff
you're not supposed to say on TV
and so here's something she said out
loud on
CNN and CNN aired it without bleeping it
and they replayed it without bleeping it
so she said she was talking about how
the Republicans are handling the issue
of abortion and she said quote we cannot
be to women
huh
and I thought oh that's perfect
that that's that's my exact opinion the
political part of my opinion I don't
give you my own opinion on abortion
because as I often say
leave it to women
you know I'll just follow the leader
women if women want it to be illegal in
my state
all agree if they wanted to be illegal
in my state I'll just say it wasn't my
decision
so
but Nancy mace is a woman and she's got
a a credible right to her opinion on
this and I like the fact that she's
calling it out the the political element
of it
the political element of it is
you're going to have to
make sure that women are okay with
whatever it is the Republicans say or
you're not going to win any elections
now that's different from the issue of
what you think about abortion itself I'm
just talking about the messaging the
messaging has to be a little Smarter on
the Republican side I would I would say
it's lacking quite a bit
um and that it's probably 50 percent
less good than it could be the messaging
part
without changing the message
so I would listen to Nancy Mason
messaging she seems really good on that
stuff
um
so I saw a tweet from Joe Biden saying
that
diversity is
the thing that he's working for
you he's trying to get that diversity up
in the country
and here's my reframe on diversity
diversity is a goal
right I mean that's what the President
says we want more diversity it's a goal
goals are stupid
in general
just in general goals are suboptimal I
wrote a book about it it's the most
famous thing I've ever done
there are many books on Amazon right now
they have picked up that point the
systems are better than goals and you
know they're they're like a whole
explosion of books on the very point the
systems are better than goals but who
doesn't know that apparently the
president of the United States one of
the most one of the most basic
understood truths of business and life
and being effective is that you need a
system
if all you have is a goal you're in
trouble now what what would you do if
you treated diversity as a goal
you would take from people who have what
you want now this would be true of
equity or diversity because because
diversity is just part of equity so
let's just say let's just say Equity
instead because I'd say diversity is a
subset of the larger question of equity
so Equity if that's your goal
what do you do about it
well if it's a goal and some people have
more and some people have less it's
pretty obvious you take from the people
who have more you give it to the people
who have less boom problem solved that's
that's why a goal-oriented approach
gives you
one approach
take money from the people who have it
give it to the people who don't
now suppose you had instead a systems
approach what would that look like what
would be a system
something that you could do every day
that would get you not only something
closer to equity
because I'm not saying that's a bad
thing you know at least in terms of a
you know directional thing that
everybody wants to be better
but I wouldn't say Equity is the goal
you should you should try to be better
than average everybody should and you
should work on personal development
so personal development a lifetime of
personal development
makes racism trivial in your life
because you would be so much more
powerful than the forces against you but
it also makes you much more likely
to get closer to that Equity range or at
least have a good good life for yourself
and your family
than anything else would
so the big problem with Democrats is
they have goals they sound pretty good
what they don't have is a system to get
there and Republicans continue to let
them slide on that and the problem is
that you haven't you haven't collected
your
complaints into one good frame
use Republicans say for example family
is good we should have more family stuff
how
how what are you doing you're just
talking that's a goal
right if you're not telling me what to
do about it but I would say that in the
past a family was a system wouldn't you
family as an organizer is a system
that's worked worked forever
how about religion
religion is not really a goal it's more
like a system something you're you know
paying attention to every day you're
building your life around it Etc you're
practicing it on Sundays especially
that's the system
what about uh free market
free market system
right so Republicans are
you know pretty close to an a you know
grade A for understanding that a system
is better than a goal
Democrats are just goal oriented
uh get rid of guns
that's our goal what I mean just just
get rid of them yeah yep that's the goal
just get rid of them
maybe you should think through all the
ramifications
nope get rid of them
uh what about too many people in jail oh
the goal is to have fewer people in jail
so what do you do
if you have a goal-oriented mindset what
do you do if there are too many people
in prison
let them out yeah bail reform just let
them out
so every time you have a goal-oriented
approach
you're not just different politically we
have to be a little bit more honest
about this that's actually stupid
and it's stupid according to literally
everybody
I just have to describe it in that frame
and everybody agrees oh shoot when you
say it that way it is stupid
it's not a political difference
see this is the thing we keep getting
wrong because do you think there are a
lot of Republicans who don't want people
to do well because they're minorities
no
no no but they have a system which is
I'll take care of my family and make
sure we've got homeschooling because
homeschooling is what
it's a system
right
so the public schools were a system but
then they broke
so then the Republicans more so than the
Democrats said well our our system is
broke so what's the point of having a
goal of getting everybody well educated
if you don't have a system that can do
it
so the Republicans immediately moved to
an alternate system homeschooling
Etc mostly homeschooling right and then
you see the homeschooling system
thriving
because systems are better than goals
so every time you see this argument
where there's a Democrat who's got a
goal that just sounds terrific
but their system is just you
should call it out for being part of the
stupid approach to life you don't even
have to talk about the individual case
just say just in general
goals for their system or how stupid
people act
systems that can work in a variety of
ways including get you closer to
something like equity
always work
yeah if it's a good system it always
works
so
as soon as the the moment you you allow
yourself to go into their frame you lose
so the frame of the Democrats is you
have my stuff you owe it to me
if you argue that
you're in the wrong argument they may
they made you think past the sale into
their argument the argument should be oh
wait is that a goal-oriented approach
you have there
oh well I'm not going to talk about that
I'm not not too interested in a goal but
if there's a system
they could get all of us what we want
let's talk about that and make that
system work really well but a goal now I
the diversity should not be a goal
diversity issue is something that should
be something that happens on its own
because everybody had a good system for
advancement
Equity is should not be a goal
it should be something that derives
naturally out of a good system because
everybody has you know a chance to get
educated everybody can do whatever they
want
this is whiteboard material it probably
will be
yeah it does need to be physical but uh
now now watch how well I sold this okay
most of the things that I you know try
to sell you so to speak sell it but um
in my live streams wouldn't you say most
people disagree like well not most
people but everything I propose as an
idea plenty of people are going to be on
the other side
even if it's a good idea there's always
plenty of people but but watch this
how many people think I'm wrong
the systems are better than goals and
that's the entire problem here
watch watch the comments it's a hundred
percent there won't be a single person
who disagrees something
it's that it's that
it's really that easy
if you have the right frame you get the
right result so you have to reframe it
from the political opinion to systems or
smart and goals are stupid and there's
never an exception to that
there won't be any exceptions to them so
yeah you have to go to the argument that
you're going to win stay out of their
argument
stay out of that hole who's got more
who's got less who has a bad history who
is the victim who's the oppressor don't
even engage
those are arguments that unproductive
people have but you're not one of them
now
maybe before too
all right um
I saw a headline on CNN that I thought
was going to be one thing and turned
into another that the headline was that
the uh the hosts of an ABC show new show
with Stephanopoulos the hosts were
shocked
to learn that the polling for the
president if it were Biden versus Trump
is close
they were shocked to learn that given
all we know
the results are still close and I
thought wow I certainly agree with CNN
on this it is how are they going to
explain
that one of the candidates is
cognitively gone and has conclusively
been proven to be part of a criminal
Enterprise how in the world could he
still be polling as well as Trump who in
the fullness of time we could see was
one of the most effective presidents of
all time
and then I opened it it was they were
shocked that Trump is polling so well
I was like wait what
you're shocked that Trump is polling so
well
wouldn't a hundred percent of everything
we see suggest he should be polling two
to one against Biden
because one of them actually still works
like one of them still has a functioning
brain and everything and they were
shocked that the guy without a brain
wasn't doing better against the guy who
is one of the most effective presidents
of all time
and it was quite a mind Bender to enter
their little weird world where
everything's backwards and it just sort
of spends some time in the backwards
world
now in their world the fact that Trump
keeps getting indicted
should should be uh indication that how
in the world could they be voting for
this indicted guy and they're figuring
out that their their brainwashing you
know gaslighting operation only works on
their own team
the the main thing that people forget
is that the brainwashers aren't trying
to brainwash you
they're brainwashing their own side
that's the whole game just brainwash
their own side maybe get a few you know
gray area people to go over but they're
not trying to brainwash Republicans
the Republicans can see it clearly for
what it is
now the same is true on the Republican
side
the Republicans who are you know let's
say pushing their narrative they're not
really trying to convince any Democrats
they know that's Out Of Reach
all right
um
I'm tired of talking about how Bill
Maher uh is not woke
I guess we could just stipulate the Bill
Maher is a liberal who wishes it was
more like the old days
Deborah in all caps Scott got
brainwashed during covet Deborah you got
brainwashed by the people who told you
my opinions were the opposite of what
they were and then you believed them
so the all-caps shouting is kind of a
tell for brainwashing there
if you see me shouting in all caps then
that would be a tell
that you should say hey hey maybe
there's something wrong with you Scott
but if you're shouting me in me on all
caps based on the fact that you believed
a 4chan rumor or a comic strip about my
opinions
maybe you should go
look at that
all right
um
the uh I think we're looking at what
might be the new uh race hoax 2024 we've
been waiting for it but maybe it was all
it was there all along
so you saw there was that well-dressed
suspiciously well-dressed
group of alleged Nazis although I think
most were Nazis so that part is I don't
think that's too alleged
um that seems like a fact and they have
nice new flags and nice new shirts and
very very well organized and one of them
is this highly tattooed Guy full face
tattoo called bone face
and Bone face is known to have
gone to a fight for Ukraine for a while
but I think he I think he was so bad
they kicked him out of the Ukrainian
military yeah I don't know how bad you
have to be to get kicked out of the
Ukrainian military but
so that's what happened uh I think he
was kicked down anyway uh the I think
Rolling Stone is trying to get the hoax
moving because somebody yelled at him
that they were DeSantis supporters and
Bone face or one of them yelled back uh
we support DeSantis
and that's the part that Rolling Stone
decided to quote and make an article
about
so he used the statement we support
DeSantis
so he does right
because there was a guy
and he said there's words and they heard
it with their own they heard it with
their own ears
they saw it with their own eyes it's on
video so it must be true
right I mean I I don't know it could be
any counter argument is there any way to
imagine
that you could see it on video and yet
it wouldn't be true is there any way to
imagine such a such a wild thing
well
suppose they had given you the full
quote
do you know what the full quote was
we support we we support DeSantis hahaha
this antis
that was the full quote I think I'm
paraphrasing but the first part was
sarcasm followed by their actual opinion
which is mocking people who thought they
supported DeSantis
they were actually mocking it the
opposite of what Rolling Stone reported
and they had the full video
they had the video now do you know what
a wrap up spear is
pretty soon you're going to see a
politician saying well there's DeSantis
is racist they said so
and people will say no no they didn't
and then what does the Democrat say
I can go Google it for yourself
just Google it you'll find out and if
you Googled it what do you think would
come up first
the debunking
or the Rolling Stone article with the
rhubarb fake
you know you already know that you don't
have to check right so that's how it
works you just need to get one entity to
say it's true you get your least let's
say at least honest entities to do that
who still have a national name
and then you act like it's true because
it was in the media
that's how the whole game is played
all right
there are what are the four least
reliable indicators of Truth in 2023.
there are four
indicators of truth that are the least
reliable what are they I will let I will
label them these are the least reliable
things your left ear
your right ear
your left eye
your right eye
right those four things do not trust
for forming opinions
because those are the easiest to fool do
you know why scientists are so easy to
fool
because they don't suspect the trick
that's why they're the easiest because
the scientists are thinking well I'll
look for a problem within the domain of
science
what about somebody just made up some
they won't even you know what what
about a video that just got edited and
they didn't know that's a thing right as
soon as you get out of your scientific
domain you think things are supposed to
work the way things are supposed to work
you're completely lost because the world
the real world of news and propaganda is
nothing true at all
you know it's just all completely
ridiculous garbage
so
um yeah don't believe your eyes your
ears and the the dumbest people on
social media and you're seeing a lot of
them lately
are saying I saw it with my own eyes I
heard it with my own ears it was on tape
you know you must be lying because I
personally witnessed it those are those
people are so lost
it's the lowest standard of Truth as you
saw it
the lowest standard
um
so what else we got going here
it's a low news day
uh that's about it
[Laughter]
that's about it
so I'm still working on some plans to
figure out how to educate the youth I've
got another scheme which you're going to
see I think you'll see pretty soon I'm
working on some stuff
and
uh what about Maui
well what do you think is true about
Maui
do you think it's true that high energy
lasers from space started the fires
I put the odds of that at about zero
uh what do you think of the odds that
it's a conspiracy by the rich people so
they can buy the land up for cheap
I give the odds of that at zero zero
what are the odds you know I'll give you
know I'll give everything 0.001 because
you never know right but basically zero
um someone says Jewish space lasers
probably probably not probably zero
um how about
yeah because there's no other way to
start a grass fire yeah you know if
you're going to start a grass fire
the way to do it is with space based
assets
I'd like to start a fire
well I can't see any way to do that from
the ground
so perhaps if I shoot my laser against a
mirror in space yes yes yes that could
be it Archimedes kind of a focus light
kind of an idea set your sailboats on
fire yeah yep I know some history
and what else do you believe about Maui
do you believe that there wasn't enough
water because the the water worshiping
woke guy
I'd say the odds of that are pretty
close to zero
now some parts of that story might be
true but if you believe that if you
believe they let the island burn because
there was one guy who wouldn't release
oil or water on time
really
I mean just ask yourself does that sound
like a real thing that happened not to
me
to me the official story sounds better
that there was no point in releasing it
for the helicopter pickup because the
helicopters weren't flying because there
was too much wind
that sounds real
so I don't know about anything else but
that sounded real I don't know if it's
real but it sounds unreal the other one
doesn't sound real
uh
um
there's do you do you think it's real
that Hawaii did not properly attend to
fire management by getting rid of the
weeds
or by turning off the power
yes yeah normal incompetence explains
everything see here's a good rule
if you have two possibilities and one of
them is just people acting normal the
way they always do and one of them is an
extraordinary space laser
I can't say it's never the space laser
not never
but if you if you go with that operating
consumption well I think I think the
space laser is sounding good now you're
not going to be right very often go with
the most ordinary
see this is what bothers me with all the
anti-semites
the anti-summits have decided that
they're seeing a pattern which can only
be explained by a mass Jewish conspiracy
and that's why for example there's so
many people with Jewish last names who
are in the media
you can't think of any other reason that
there could be a lot of people in the
best jobs in the world
you can't think of any normal reason for
that
like if you went to the colleges of
America would you find that one
identifiable group is just killing it on
education
do you think you would find that
of course you would
of course you would
yeah and if if one group is just killing
it on education like they're really
getting that right what kind of jobs are
they likely to have
sort of blue collar you know
construction jobs
or or would they look for good jobs like
the kind that everybody would want you
know it would be a really good job
head of a media company
I'd like that job wouldn't you I mean if
you if you like that kind of thing
wouldn't you think those are the best
jobs
so so we're all going to be surprised
that the people who are definitely doing
the best in school
right
uh have have some results that would be
completely predictable based on having
the best academic
um
you know academic results then on top of
that
I can't speak speak for the Jewish
Community but are there a lot of Jewish
parents who are telling their kids that
they should work for the Post Office
because mine did
my father recommended I work at I grew
up to work for the post office because
he said the benefits were great
the overtime was the overtime pay was
excellent and the retirement was good
too it was good steady work and if you
work for the Post Office you'd always
have a job
yeah so my parents who are not Jewish
recommended I get a nice
nice low-end job and settle in on that
huh how about that
do you think Jewish a lot of Jewish
households are like you know you know
what you should really think of
you should really think of Plumbing have
you have you thought of Plumbing
no
they're probably saying you should be a
professional of some sort you know some
something that wears a suit or a doctor
outfit and you're gonna make something
of yourself you're going to be a writer
an executive or a finance Banker or a
lawyer
doctor scientist kind of thing so now
now compare your theory
if you're an anti-semite and you think
there's a giant conspiracy compare your
theory
now here are here are the things you
have to accept to accept your
um
Jewish conspiracy you'd have to accept
that for some reason
conservative Jews are not aware of the
conspiracy
how'd that happen
how is it the conservatives the one you
know ones that might be on the same side
of those of you who have conspiracy
theories why are the people on your same
side
not aware of the theory
you're not going to find anybody
now second
are in your view are the the part is the
Jewish conspiracy the best kept secret
ever
because I've worked my entire you know
professional career
I've always been around top successful
Jewish Executives Publishers agents
Talent
you know way way above the uh the
percentage that you'd imagine for most
kinds of careers because I'm in that
kind of a job right I have a good job
surrounded by people other people have
good jobs
why do I have a good job because I took
school really seriously
that's why I have a good job
I took it really seriously and so I work
with a whole bunch of other people
who took school really seriously
fortunately my mother didn't think I
should grow up and work in the post
office she was more of a be a lawyer
type
so do you think that I could spend
decades
working in and around Jewish
professionals and I wouldn't catch a
wish whiff of this bias which you all
see that's driving them towards some
kind of you know big conspiracy that I
would spend 30 years you know a lot of
my best friends
and then nobody would mention it like it
wouldn't even come up
and that and that I would notice not a
single case
not a single case in my entire career
where I even had a whiff
that anyone who was Jewish
was treating me in any way other than
you know what talent I brought to the
situation not a whiff
you don't think you don't think the eye
of all people
would be able to detect you know bias
and discrimination against me
you don't think I could detect that it's
all I talk about it's it's like 75
percent of everything I talk about is
you know some bias that affects me I've
never seen any
you can spend your whole life
working with the top Professionals in
the Jewish world you just would never
detect anything like that
is probably the most open-minded group
of people that I've associated with
that's my that's my experience so the
the anti-semites you're gonna have to
you're gonna have to figure out what's
wrong with your theory
because the ordinary theory of there's
just people who valued school so they do
well that's kind of the whole story
now if you say to me but but but they
also support Israel
I say well so do I so do a lot of people
you know is that some big surprise
like does that tell you something I mean
they're they're one of our strongest
allies yeah of course we support right
anyway
I just wanted to put that in there
uh do I purchase my coffee from Mike
Lindell
no I'm just keeping it easy
draw Starbucks
um
odds of a kraken
I don't know probably the same as ever
you know the the only thing that would
suggest there's going to be a kraken
is just that it feels like that would be
the right point in the movie for it to
happen but in terms of other evidence I
don't see it you know every day I read a
story about a new a new set of evidence
of election problems but they don't pan
out
so I've I haven't seen one that I'm
satisfied has turned into something real
but there might be I wouldn't rule it
out do not rule it out
Snoopy boobs is here just to say bad
things about me so we'll make you go
away you're here every day just to say
bad things about me
how sad your life must be
imagine waking up and saying oh I can't
wait to be a pain in the ass to one
person I don't know
what's the motivation of that
Scott has never mentioned the Sackler
family of course I have Chucky
and he's calling me a clown for never
mentioning of course I have of course I
don't care what happens to them
there's this type of troll oh by the way
there was some evidence of a vague
tweeted around something where there's
some evidence that the DeSantis group
are
behind every rumor you're hearing about
Vivek because they said they were
so there was actually on tape some
operative who who said it in his own
words everything they hear about Vivek
comes from us
so they're massively flooding with the
fake fake stories so all the stories you
hear about the wef and uh about his form
of business that's all fake stuff coming
from the DeSantis trolls
all fixed up you know what you know let
me
let me put out a principle for you
I don't know if Trump does that does
Trump do that
have you ever heard that there's a bunch
of trump trolls whose job it is to say
things that are not true
there might be
there might be but I'm not aware of them
but are they organized obviously Trolls
Exist that's not the question but are
they organized like allegedly this
Trump does it himself
I don't know I I feel like Trump
generally says things that he thinks are
true but he might add some hyperbole
I don't see him just making up
like you know it's hyperbole but it
doesn't look like just made out of
nothing
that does seem different
yeah he is directionally accurate
all right
and Al is saying that so Al who is
probably a DeSantis troll says Vivek
conspiracies are true DeSantis has no
marketing machine
does that sound like a real person would
say that
that doesn't even sound like a real
person does it
yeah well I would say this if I were a
Republican
uh I'm a registered Democrat but if I
were a Republican
and I knew that one of the people in the
primary on my team
was sending young people to make up
about
um one of the most productive people in
the party
Vivek I would never vote for that guy or
a woman
right I I disant this to me if it's true
that he has that there's an organized
group of people spreading rumors about
Vivek that are not true that's
disqualifying
you know even if it's a pack I don't
care he knows it if he knows it's
happening and he doesn't stop it
that's disqualified
attacking your own team at that level
acting acting like a Democrat that's
that's exactly it that would be acting
like a Democrat thinking that you could
win by
doesn't need any to win see
that's that's the sad thing all he had
to do is run a capable
um you know a capable Campaign which he
didn't do
but that should have been enough to be
you know the solid second choice in case
something happens with Trump and there's
a lot of danger of that
yeah who talks politics in person not
many I sure don't
let this guy that here's no Norm says
Vivek is an affirmative action candidate
he gets the easy treatment because he's
brown you know it's true Scott for one
loves Vivek and brown people
Norm I do love brown people
what what is your point
should I not
why can't I love brown people
I've always loved I've always loved
brown and black people
you know if you live in California
and you live in an um let's say an area
that's doing well
half of your neighbors are Indian
Americans
like they're they're they're awesome
people if you haven't partied with an
Indian American
you have not partied can anybody want to
back me up on that
if if you haven't been invited to a
party at an Indian American house you
haven't been to a good party yet
they they know how to have fun
amazing people
you know huge benefit to the country
probably one of the best things that's
happening to America is the is the
influence of Indian Americans
all right
uh he is easy treatment
somebody thinks that uh Jose gets easy
treatment on CNN
like what what reality are you watching
it's so funny
all right
all right I'll just look at your
comments here for a second
yeah I don't under I would love to have
a
some kind of personal conversations with
my trolls yeah wouldn't it be great if I
could just like transport the troll from
social media like just to sit next to me
and I would just say what the hell is
going on here
the first question would be are you
drunk
because you know at least half of them
just look drunk
but if they're not drunk I would say
what what exactly is the game here are
you just trying to get a little dopamine
hit or do you believe any of the things
you decide because because it doesn't
sound like things that anybody would
believe
and I did see that Nikki hilley was
second in polling after DeSantis
which would be third
um
I think she's got I think there's a big
I think there's a big desire in the
Republican party for a female candidate
when I say big desire Deborah
Deborah comes back imagining that she
heard something true about me
bye
goodbye Debra
I wonder if Deborah is a real woman
okay
now the the trolls it's always the same
three trolls if you think there are a
bunch of trolls on
on YouTube they're not it's the same
three they just change their names and
come back you could tell them you tell
the same ones
all right that ladies and gentlemen is
all you've got for this uh
Monday what is today Labor Day right
Labor Day in the United States
so if you're going into labor today
it's a perfect day for it I unlike many
of you will be working today
because I never rest
I never asked all right it's all
