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
